As a social being, human beings have a need to live with others, and building effective communication is a prerequisite for living toge...

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the frequency of the occurrence of taurodontism in a Turkish population with using panoromic radiographs. A retrospective study was performed using full-mouth periapical and panoramic radiographs of 6912 patients (3860 females and 3052 males) ranging in age from 15 to 50. A total of 97362 posterior (including third molars) were evaluated. A ch...

The 17 of August 1999, an important earthquake of magnitude 7.6 occurred along the North Anatolian fault in the area of Izmit (Turkey). Relative horizontal displacements up to 4.5 meters were observed. The epicenter of the earthquake under concern is located in Golcuk, near the city of Izmit, on the South border of the Marmara Sea. The fault in the vicinity of Izmit is mainly oriented along an ...

This volume originates from a research project, which was funded within the PRIN program Writing Uses: Transmission of Knowledge, Administrative Practices and Political Control in Anatolian Syro-Anatolian Polities 2nd 1st Millennium BCE. The project involved ‘research units’ different Italian universities (Torino, Pavia, Bologna, Firenze, Napoli - Suor Orsola Benincasa). papers presented here, ...

The present study compares the blood-serum proteins of populations of the Levantine viper, Macrovipera lebetina L. from Cyprus and southern Anatolia by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and densitometry analysis methods. There were discernible differences found between the two populations for the blood serum protein features compared. By considering these differences, it is concluded that the ...

Abstract Lateral movement of lithospheric fragments along strike-slip faults in response to collision (escape tectonics) has characterized convergent settings since the onset plate tectonics and is a mechanism for formation new plates. The Anatolian was created by sequential connection following ≥10 m.y. distributed deformation that ultimately localized into plate-bounding faults. Thermochronol...

Salmokottelati sp. n., is described from Alakır Stream (Mediterranean basin) in Turkey. It is distinguished from other Anatolian Salmo species by a combination of the following characters (none unique to the species): general body colour greenish to silvery in life; 7-9 parr marks along lateral line; four dark bands on flank absent in both sexes; black ocellated spots few, present only on upper...

The Mediterranean climate prevailing on the coastal belt of the Mediterranean Sea undergoes to change toward the inner part of the Anatolia in accordance with the increase of altitude, mountain range barriers, the tectonic structure of the region, and tectonic-karstic depressions. Continentality also plays a critical role in the micro-climates that prevail across the various eco-regions. This s...
