This interaction; It controls landforms, climate, soil and vegetation. Climate is the most important external force that shapes the earth. For these reasons, human beings; It maintains its life in the natural environment by adapting to the landforms and climate. The behavior of human beings to adapt to nature has emerged as land use. In this study; Landforms, climate, soil and vegetation that are effective on land use in Kesis Stream Basin were examined. In the study, geographic information systems (GIS) were chosen as the method, and the elevation model, other data obtained from the institutions constitute the study materials. These data were processed through GIS and explained visually and numerically.Accordingly, it has been determined that the rugged landforms of the basin do not allow settlement and agricultural activities since they correspond to approximately 80% of the area (Table 3). In the basin, brownish forest soils and red Mediterranean soils developed, in which Mediterranean climate characteristics are observed. On these soil surfaces; conifer, mixed and broad-leaved plant species showed a wide distribution. While alluvial and colluvial soils developed on landforms such as polje, uvala, and sinks in the basin, it was determined that these surfaces were used as settlement and agricultural areas. As a result, it was determined that more than 70% of the area (Table 6) limited settlement and agriculture in the Kesis Stream basin, as a natural result of the mutual interaction of landforms, climate, soil and plant characteristics. Apart from these, it has been determined that about 17% of them, such as the accumulation fan, polje, uvala, doline, low plateau, are engaged in settlement and agriculture. Here; the rules of natural factors should be prioritized and land use plans should be made to adapt to this.","PeriodicalId":13763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77097335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Human health, safety and productivity are not only greatly affected by health and working conditions, but the equipment, machinery and materials in those environments can be affected in ways that lead to degradation. This paper presents a way to use artificial intelligence in developing a novel entity index for assessing and monitoring workplace health and conditions of use in intelligent buildings. Based on fuzzy logic, two algorithms were developed to determine the relationships and dependencies between various immediate environmental indicators and underlying environmental variables, to account for these relationships and trends, and finally to represent the indicator values for temperature, health and working conditions. A table was developed with temperature ranges and the effects on occupancy experience within those ranges. The current environmental indicators used in the previously unambiguous algorithm to generate new index values are apparent temperature (air cooling coefficient, wet bulb temperature and heat index), temperature and humidity index, discomfort index, warmth, comfort, and heat capacity. Based on Fuzzy logic, the environment variables of the algorithm are ambient temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity. After developing a complete system model using MATLAB/Simulink, further testing and evaluating the algorithm design, a model was created containing all indexed sub models, fuzzy sub model algorithms, input blocks, and data visualizations.","PeriodicalId":13763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research","volume":"503 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76392647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The type of flood determines the causes and effects of flooding. It is, therefore, necessary to understand the causes and consequences of flooding in our sites.

The decision of choices would be taken based on the flood's known effects, causes and professional evaluation. The purpose of this study was to look into the five types of floods alongside their features, and decisions to be taken after evaluation. The scope of the study was to assess the condition of sites regarding floods and a subsequent decision arrived before starting any construction. Data was gathered using the review approach: Books and articles. The knowledge acquired would be relevant in the decision of the end-users or developer to either start construction or abandon the site. In situations where the choice is to start development, further education would be needed on resilience to the specific flood type found in the location. The impact of the study reveals that an estimated cost, time, emotional worries, and resilience techniques would be disclosed before the start of any construction for early decision.

The oil-water interface was formed within an insulin syringe tube due to the oil hydrophobicity. The measurement AC signal (0.1-300 kHz at 0.1 V) was capacitively coupled to the oil-water system through the syringe wall. The interface resistivity was estimated at ~2109m(assuming the interface as a slip layer with width ~ 10 nm) and was associated with hydroxide (OH–) ions, agreeing with existing reports. The resistivity was found to be independent on the signal frequency, which may indicate the nonpolarized nature of the hydrophobic interface. The present impedance spectroscopy is important for hydrophobic systems and may give an insight into the future nondestructive (contactless) investigation of the electrical properties of the lipid layer in the living cell membrane.","PeriodicalId":13763,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85616371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
