Bernoulli-Padovan polynomials and Pado-Bernoulli matrices
Dişkaya, Orhan | Menken, Hamza
In the present work we introduce Bernoulli-Padovan numbers and polynomials. We give their generating functions of the Bernoulli-Padovan numbers and polynomials. We establish various relations involving the Bernoulli-Padovan numbers and polynomials by considering the Pado-derivative. We describe Pado-Bernoulli matrices in terms of the Bernoulli-Padovan numbers and polynomials. We establish a factorisation of the Pado- Bernoulli matrix by using a generalised Pado-Pascal matrix, and obtain the inverse of the Pado-Bernoulli matrix. Also, we give a relationship between the Pado-Bernoulli matrix and the Pado-Pascal matrix.

Yiğit, Abdurahman Yasin | Ulvi, Ali | Alptekin, Aydın | Yakar, Murat
Rockfall event is common on rocky terrain, and it threatens people. Recent advances in remote sensing technologies allow us to model the terrain with high accuracy and resolution. In this study, we show the application of modeling a rockfall site in three-dimensional (3D) using an unmanned aerial vehicle. The acquisition of information about discontinuities in the rock masses using 3D point clouds is vital to characterize rockfall dynamics. We obtained 3D spatial information and point clouds of a rocky slope from acquired images. We extracted 10 discontinuity sets from the 3D model as they have significant effects on the failure mechanism. Details in mapping discontinuities have improved significantly with the help of point clouds. The results are beneficial for modeling the terrain of ina...
