2D non-linear seismic response of the Dinar basin,TURKEY
(Elsevier, 2016-10)Local geological conditions generate significant amplification of ground motion and concentrated damage during earthquakes. The highly concentrated damages at the edges of the Dinar basin during occurred earthquakes at ... -
Biomineralization in self-healing cement-based materials: investigating the temporal evolution of microbial metabolic state and material porosity
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2017)The potential for self-healing of concrete via biomineralization processes in which microorganisms influence mineral precipitation is promising. To embed microorganisms within a cement-based material, key challenges are ... -
Biomineralized cement-based materials: impact of inoculating vegetative bacterial cells on hydration and strength
(Elsevier, 2015-01)Biomineralization in cement-based materials has become a point of interest in recent years due to the possibility that such an approach could be used to develop a self-healing cement-based system. The objective of this ... -
Editorial and welcome to a new ERA
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-01)With this first issue of Volume 13 (2015), while we are celebrating our 12th anniversary, we will be implementing some major changes for BEE. We are going to start publishing on a monthly basis with 12 issues per year and ... -
Eulogy to Professor Michele Maugeri

Eulogy to Professor Nicholas N. Ambraseys
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013-02)Sadly, at the final phase of all these preparations for Vol.11 N.1, our very dear and very distinguished Editorial Board Member Prof. Nicholas Ambraseys passed away on December 28, 2012 at the age of 83. Prof. Ambraseys ... -
Evaluation of self-healing of internal cracks in biomimetic mortar using coda wave interferometry
(Elsevier, 2016-05)Calcium carbonate biomineralization is a bio-chemical process in which calcium carbonate precipitation is obtained by leveraging the metabolic activity of microorganisms. Studies have shown that biomineralization can be ... -
Impact of air entraining admixtures on biogenic calcium carbonate precipitation and bacterial viability
(Elsevier, 2017)The applications of self-healing in cement-based materials via biomineralization processes are developing quickly. The main challenge is to find a microorganism that can tolerate the restricted environment of cement paste ... -
Increasing the stability of nanofluids with cavitating flows in micro orifices
(AIP, 2016)One of the most critical challenges for nanofluids in practical applications is related to their stability and reusability since a gradual agglomeration of nanoparticles in nanofluids occurs with time and is accelerated ... -
Interaction of a pile with layered-soil under vertical excitations: field experiments versus numerical simulations
(Springer International Publishing, 2017-09)Data recorded during a field test involving an instrumented drilled shaft under vertical excitations are examined in order to (1) extract the soil–pile system’s dynamic impedance, and (2) to evaluate the small-strain shear ... -
Local site conditions and seismic risk assessment of historic buildings
(2013)The objectives of the Istanbul Seismic Risk Mitigation and Emergency Preparedness Project are to improve Istanbul’s preparedness for a potential earthquake. Within this framework “Risk Assessment of Cultural Heritage ... -
Micro-a-fluidics ELISA for rapid CD4 cell count at the point-of-care
(Nature, 2014-01-22)HIV has become one of the most devastating pathogens in human history. Despite fast progress in HIV-related basic research, antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains the most effective method to save AIDS patients' lives. ... -
Microchip ELISA coupled with cell phone to detect ovarian cancer HE4 biomarker in urine
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers in the USA, and early diagnosis can potentially increase 5-year survival rate. Detection of biomarkers derived from hyperplasia of epithelial tissue by ... -
Observations from geotechnical arrays in Istanbul
(Springer, 2015-04-16)Few small earthquakes with local magnitude slightly larger than ML = 4 were recorded by geotechnical downhole arrays that have been recently deployed in the west side of Istanbul. Same events were also recorded by Istanbul ... -
Optimization of spectrally selective Si/SiO2 based filters for thermophotovoltaic devices
(Elsevier, 2017-08)Design of a spectrally selective filter based on one-dimensional Si/SiO2 layers is considered for improved performance of thermo-photovoltaic devices. Spectrally selective filters transmit only the convertible radiation ... -
Passive radiative cooling design with broadband optical thin-film filters
(Elsevier, 2017-09)The operation of most electronic semiconductor devices suffers from the self-generated heat. In the case of photovoltaic or thermos-photovoltaic cells, their exposure to sun or high temperature sources make them get warm ... -
Perspectives on European earthquake engineering and seismology
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)This book collects 5 keynote and 15 topic lectures presented at the 2nd European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (2ECEES), held in Istanbul, Turkey, from August 24 to 29, 2014. The conference was organized ... -
Preface to the second decade

A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for the Turkish territory—part I: the area source model
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)The seismic zoning map of Turkey that is used in connection with the national seismic design code (versions issued both in 1997 and 2007) is based on a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment study conducted more than 20 ... -
Real-time earthquake shake, damage, and loss mapping for Istanbul metropolitan area
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)The past devastating earthquakes in densely populated urban centers, such as the 1994 Northridge; 1995 Kobe; 1999 series of Kocaeli, Düzce, and Athens; and 2011 Van-Erciş events, showed that substantial social and economic ...
