A Point Cloud Transformer-Based Regression Approach for Estimating Above-Ground Biomass from 3D Point Clouds

From the perspective of global food security, the estimation of crop biomass and yield is a critical process. Traditionally, plant height is manually measured using field samples for biomass and yield estimation, and plant samples are cut, dried, and weighed. This labor-intensive...

Uydu görüntüleri ile yanan orman alanının değerlendirilmesi: Çandır orman yangını örneği

Bu çalışmada, 2021 yılında Çandır Orman İşletme Şefliğinde meydana gelen orman yangınında zarar gören orman alanlarının uzaktan algılama veri ve yöntemleriyle belirlenmesi ve değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda, yangın öncesi ve yangın sonrası Landsat-8 ve Sentinel-2 uyd...

Process monitoring and control of compost tea production using a PLC–PC based architecture

Ensuring traceability and comparability of process conditions in compost tea production remains a significant engineering challenge in practical applications. Although many studies in the literature primarily focus on the biological and agronomic effects of compost tea, the dynam...

The effect of chemical mutagen applications on enzyme production to increase methane yield

The natural mutation rate in most microorganisms is typically a limiting factor in evolutionary engineering, as beneficial mutations occur very rarely. In this study, the effects of various chemical mutagens on Bacillus licheniformis , Bacillus halotolerans , and Salmonella enter...

An Investigation of the Effects of Digitalisation on Taxation and Accounting: The Case of Isparta Province

This study aims to evaluate the effects of digitalisation on taxation and accounting processes from the perspective of accounting professionals. To this end, a qualitative research method was employed to gather the opinions of Certified Public Accountants practising in Isparta Pr...

Thermodynamic analysis of a solar-powered hybrid polygeneration system using linear fresnel reflectors for multi-energy production

The rising need for sustainable energy solutions has further raised interest in solar-based multigeneration systems that can provide multiple useful products from a single renewable energy resource. In this paper, a linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) assisted hybrid polygeneration sy...

Comparative Analysis of Yield and Essential Oil Composition of Mentha piperita and Mentha arvensis Genotypes Under Two Distinct Ecologies in Turkey

This study compared the adaptation, yield and essential oil composition of five commercial Mentha piperita cultivars (Piper-1, Multimentha, Swiss, Yakima, Black Mitcham) and a newly developed Mentha arvensis clone (Arven-1) in two distinct ecologies with different climates in Tür...

From weed management to bioenergy production: An integrated BMP –kinetic– MCDM framework for evaluating terrestrial weeds

Abstract Weeds are abundant lignocellulosic biomasses that represent a largely underutilized resource for renewable energy production. This study evaluated the biomethane production potential of five terrestrial weed species— Amaranthus retroflexus , Medicago sativa , Lactuca ser...

Mycorrhizal inoculation enhances productivity, mineral nutrition, pomology, and bioactive compounds of sweet cherry under field conditions on calcareous soils

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized as a sustainable biological approach to improve nutrient acquisition and fruit quality in horticultural crops. Their role is particularly important under calcareous soil conditions where nutrient availability is restr...

Unheard voices, unseen paths: Are we educating guides for all? The case for accessibility in tourist guiding curricula

This study aims to evaluate the extent to which accessible tourism is integrated into the curricula of tour guiding programs in Turkey. As participation in tourism by people with disabilities (PwD) continues to grow, the role of tourist guides in addressing diverse accessibility...

Ensemble Machine Learning Predicts Flooding- and Organic Matter-Induced Micronutrient Dynamics in Calcareous Soils

Flooding and farmyard manure (FYM) application trigger complex, non-linear redox reactions that govern micronutrient availability in calcareous soils, yet predictive modelling of these dynamics using machine learning (ML) remains largely unexplored, and the present study was desi...

Predicting the Distribution of Fagus orientalis L. Under the Future Climate Model

Climate change is projected to shift species distributions, forcing ecological rearrangements at latitudinal and altitudinal margins. Modeling resilient future habitats under climate scenarios is essential for proactive biodiversity conservation. This study models the current and...

The impact of twine materials on the catch efficiency of abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) on crustaceans: an experimental study from Turkish inland set net fishery

Context Abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) represent a persistent pollution source in freshwater ecosystems, continuously capturing crustaceans long after being converted into ghost nets. Aim This study aims to experimentally determine the effects of the...

Humic Substances Enhance Waterlogging Tolerance in Eggplant Through Differential Regulation of Redox Homeostasis and Nutrient Acquisition

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.), the world’s fifth most important vegetable crop, is highly sensitive to waterlogging (WL), which limits its productivity under climate-driven flooding events. This study evaluated whether humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) alleviate WL-induced s...

Nitrogen-water management regimes modulate fatty acid profile, antioxidant defense system, and oxidative status in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) silage

Abstract Optimizing nitrogen and water management in sustainable silage production is critical for both improving biochemical quality and maintaining plant oxidative balance. This study examined the effects of different nitrogen doses and irrigation levels on the oil content and...
