Abstract\nIn this study, it is aimed to carry out research into people living in Adana province about risk communication in milk consumption. For this reason, randomly 384 people were selected for face to face interview to collect data about their main information sources at milk consumption. As a result, it is found out that the majority of respondent trust information about risks in milk consumption when provided from doctors and scientist. About 58% of the respondents stated that they consume street milk because it is cheaper than pasteurized, home delivery and better taste. The survey results showed that the respondents considered food poisoning, bowel infection, digestive problems and additives as the most possible health problems when consuming milk. Unfortunately, 18 % of participants did not complaint anywhere when they had problems after milk consumption. Only 6% of them made call “ALO 174 Food Line” to inform the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock about problems with milk. There was no relation between amount of milk consumed with number of children. \nKey Words: Milk, Adana, Risk, Risk Communication
The paper suggests a mathematical model and simulation of two-dimensional transient heat diffusion through a rubber concrete slab with 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% of rubber aggregate mixed with concrete to increase thermal resistance of construction material. The purpose of research is to use numerical techniques based on their efficiency and stability for the solution of practical problems occur in the field of civil engineering regarding thermal properties and effect of proposed materials for construction. Finite difference (FD) explicit scheme is the simplest choice for analysis of transient heat diffusion in such problems with constant boundary and initial condition generated for manual testing of the slab in hot box design. The modeling and simulation of such problems provide mathematical and computational approximations to the problem. It was observed that the comparison of sixth diffusion level shows that 15% rubberized concrete has highest thermal resistance than the 10%, 5% and concrete without the rubber aggregate. Also, the numerical simulation interprets the effect of rubber aggregate on heat diffusion in each case depending on chemical and physical properties of the slab.
