The aim of this study was to produce a very low-density insulation wood fibreboard, in dry technology, with the use of post-production fibres. During the tests, different amounts of post-production fibres, coming from various stages of processing such as grinding, edges cutting, cutting to the required board size, milling and disqualification of faulty boards, were added to lightweight fibreboard. The amount of possible added post-production wood fibres strongly depends on the characteristic of the fibres and particles size distribution. The parameters of the lightweight board, the most influenced by the dimensions of the fibres used, are mainly thermal conductivity and compressive strength.

In this study, seismic events in the Edirne district (Turkey) and its vicinity have been investigated in order to discriminate earthquakes from quarry blasts. A total of 150 seismic events with Md≤3.5 duration magnitude from a seismic activity catalog between 2009 and 2014 recorded by the Enez (ENEZ), Erikli (ERIK) and Gelibolu (GELI) broadband stations operated by Boğaziçi University, Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute Regional Earthquake-Tsunami Monitoring Center were used in this study. The maximum S-wave and maximum P-wave amplitude ratio of vertical component velocity seismograms, power ratio (Complexity) and total signal duration of the waveform were calculated. Earthquakes and quarry blasts were discriminated using the linear discriminate function (LDF) and back propagation feed forward neural networks, an artifcial neural network (ANN) learning algorithm, taking the determination coefcient and variance account values between these parameters into consideration. Eighty-one (54%) of the total 150 seismic events studied were determined to be earthquakes, and sixty-nine (46%) of them were determined to be quarry blasts. The LDF and ANNs methods were applied to the data in Edirne and its vicinity using a pair of parameters and were compared to each other for the frst time. The accuracy of the methods are 95% and 99% for LDF and ANNs, respectively.

The Sakarya prefecture is an interesting area with various seismicity types. This activity comes from earthquakes occurring at the North Anatolian Fault Zone and from a few quarry blast areas in the region. These quarry blast recordings produce errors in the determination of active faults and mapping of the microearthquake activity. Therefore, to recognize the tectonic activity in the region, we need to be able to discriminate between earthquakes and quarry blasts in the catalogues. In this study, a statistical analysis method (linear discriminant function) has been applied to classify seismic events occurring in the Sakarya region. We used 110 seismic events that were recorded by Sakarya University Seismic Station between 2012 and 2014. Time and frequency variant parameters, maximum S wave and maximum P wave amplitude ratio (S/P), the spectral ratio (Sr), maximum frequency (fmax), and total signal duration of the waveform were used for discrimination analyses. The maximum frequency (fmax) versus time duration of the seismic signal gives a higher classification percentage (94%) than the other discriminants. At the end of this study, 41 out of 110 events (44%) are determined as quarry blasts, and 62 (56%) are considered as earthquakes.
