RV Bilim-2

RV Bilim-2 is a mathematics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand RV Bilim-2 rather than just read about it. In short: The RV Bilim-2 is a Turkish research vessel owned by the Middle East Technical University in Ankara and operated in deep waters by its Institute of Marine Sciences based in Erdemli, Mersin, Turkey. She was built by Istanbul Naval Shipyard in Pendik, Istanbul and launched in 1983 as RV Bilim (Turkish for "Science").

Key takeaways

RV Bilim-2 belongs to mathematics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect RV Bilim-2 to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of RV Bilim-2 from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The RV Bilim-2 is a Turkish research vessel owned by the Middle East Technical University in Ankara and operated in deep waters by its Institute of Marine Sciences based in Erdemli, Mersin, Turkey. She was built by Istanbul Naval Shipyard in Pendik, Istanbul and launched in 1983 as RV Bilim (Turkish for "Science"). In 2006, she was renamed Bilim-2. She is the institute's main ship beside its two other smaller wooden-hull research boats, the 1979-built RV Erdemli and the 1981-built RV Lamas-1. Bilim-2 is equipped with a hydraulic trawl winch of 7.5 tonnes and 2 x 1,500 m (4,900 ft) wire capacity and a hydraulic net winch of 6-tonne capacity for fisheries and marine biological investigations. Marine geological studies are conducted using a shallow seismic system of type EG&G Uniboom, side-scan sonars, and various corers. A remotely operated underwater camera (Mini Rover Benthos MK II) is also utilized in seafloor surveys.

Characteristics

Vessel Bilim-2 is 40.36 m (132 ft 5 in) long, with a beam of 9.47 m (31 ft 1 in) and a max. draft of 3.80 m (12 ft 6 in). Assessed at 433 GT, 500 DWT and 190 NT, the ship is propelled by a 611.5 kW (820.0 hp) diesel engine of MWM GmbH and variable-pitch propeller. She has a top speed of 11.5 knots (21.3 km/h) with 9.5 knots (17.6 km/h) in service. The vessel has a range of 5,600 nautical miles (6,400 mi; 10,400 km). The vessel has a global positioning system (GPS), a conventional radar with a range of 52 nautical miles (60 mi; 96 km) for navigation and modern communication equipment. The ship has twelve crew, and can host up to fourteen scientists aboard. She can sail autonomously 45 days at sea. Her home port is Erdemli in Mersin Province, southern Turkey. However, efforts are underway to allow her mooring directly at the quay before the institute in Erdemli.

Instrumentation Operated by using a hydrographic winch with a cable, a CTD profiling system of Sea-Bird Model 9 and a rosette sampler with twelve bottles each five liter of General Oceanics are used for gathering physical and chemical data from the sea. An automatic Winkler titration system, an AutoAnalyzer, a spectrofluorometer, an irradiance meter and various other instruments are available for chemical and nutrient analyses in the labs on board the vessel. Data collection and processing is carried out in the computer room.

Service In 2010, Bilim-2 was tasked by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock with a project for "Acoustic determination of anchovy stock and establishing a continuous monitoring method" as part of the "National Fisheries Data Collection Program". For this study, she operated in Black Sea coast from İğneada in the west to Hopa in the east during the fishing seasons beginning in 2011. Anchovy makes out about 60% of all fish caught in Turkey. In the 2011 fishing season, 200,000 tonnes of anchovy were caught while around 70,000 tonnes remained left in the sea. The fishing season for anchovy diminished in the last years to about one month in contrast to the same in the 1970s and 1980s when it lasted from November to May. Before the 2000s, the anchovy stock amounted to one-and-half million tonnes, according to experts.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with RV Bilim-2

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what RV Bilim-2 claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to RV Bilim-2 before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about RV Bilim-2 ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of RV Bilim-2

In research: RV Bilim-2 appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses RV Bilim-2 in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: RV Bilim-2 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1983 ships, Erdemli, IMO numbers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for RV Bilim-2 outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
