Istanbul Technical University

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive overview of the actual knowledge on the atmospheric pollution sources, transport, transformation and levels in the East Mediterranean is provided, focusing both on the background atmosphere and on the similarities and differences between the urban areas that exhibited important urbanization the past years: the two megacities Istanbul, Cairo and the Athens extended area.

TL;DR: Comparison investigation of thermal oxidation treatment for Ti-6Al-4V alloy found this oxidation condition achieved 25 times higher wear resistance than the untreated alloy during reciprocating wear test conducted in a 0.9% NaCl solution.

TL;DR: In this article, three types of paraffin waxes suitable for textile applications were encapsulated through complex coacervation of natural and biodegradable polymers, gum arabic-gelatin mixture, in order to investigate their heat storing or releasing capacities, their durability as well as their practicable thermal performances when integrated into woven fabrics by coating.

TL;DR: In this paper, the removal of several hormones and antibiotics by nanofiltration membranes was studied in mixed solutions and the effects of solution chemistry, organic matter and salinity were investigated on the rejection of tetracycline's and sulfanamides and selected hormones and their adsorption on membranes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the effect of jet suppression in heavy ion collisions at the LHC and provided a direct sensitivity to the physics of jet quenching, using a sample of lead-lead collisions at root S-NN = 2.76 TeV.
