Funding

This research was carried out with financial support of Imbat from the Coal Mine Company (Grant Number 2011-2) in the Soma Coal Basin. The guidance and help of Arif Kurtel and Gokalp Buyukyildiz from the same company are deeply acknowledged. The test results are taken partly from the graduation thesis of Deyvi Akkris, without whom it would have been impossible to produce this paper.
