Aymelek, Abdullah; Yanik, Yusuf; Demirtaş, Betül; Yildirim, Ömer; Çalik, İsmet; Türker, Temel
Nowadays, innovative methods have been used for observing and structural evaluating of historical structures. In this paper, it is presented the full-scale structural assessments of a minaret after a Finite Element model calibrating according to vibration test results. Also, the structural behaviours under earthquake and wind loads were identified by considering the environmental effects on the selected masonry minaret of İskenderpaşa Mosque. First of all, modal analysis was executed on the three-dimensional Finite Element model created according to field survey in ANSYS Workbench. In-situ vibration tests were implemented at different intervals by using developed vibration measurement system. The experimental modal parameters were attained from collected signals. The experimental results were used as reference values in model calibration of this minaret to reflect the existing structural behaviour. Model calibration process was carried out on the initial model both by changing of material properties of masonry wall and by taking into account the interactions with mosque walls and ground. Full-scale structural evaluation was carried out under earthquake and wind loads on both the initial and the calibrated models in the weak direction of this minaret. The top displacements, drift ratios, principal stress values and their distributions were determined. It was shown that the analyses on the calibrated model produce more realistic structural behaviour.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2023Scopus SJRQ1Genetic algorithm enabled virtual multicast tree embedding in Software-Defined Networks
Guler, Evrim; Karakus, Murat; Ayaz, Furkan
The recent network virtualization technology enables the multi-tenancy, where various virtual network requests can share the same physical network by decoupling network services from the underlying hardware architecture. The process of virtual node and link mapping onto a shared Substrate Network (SN) by satisfying the requested network resources (i.e., bandwidth, computing capacity, etc.) is referred to as Virtual Network Embedding (VNE), which is known as an NP-Hard problem. The problem of VNE aims to exhibit one-to-one (unicast) communication. However, the motivation of this research is to explore how to efficiently map virtual networks with one-to-many (multicast) communications, which are in the form of Virtual Multicast Trees (VMTs), onto an SN. This problem differs from the traditional VNE problem and has not been well-studied by the research community. To this end, we propose a novel algorithm, Modified Genetic Algorithm for Virtual Multicast Tree Embedding (MGA-VMTE), to embed VMTs onto a shared SN in this research. The proposed MGA-VMTE algorithm focuses on minimizing the network resource consumption (i.e., bandwidth) under end-to-end delay constraint in the SN while satisfying the computing request of virtual nodes. Our extensive simulations demonstrate that the MGA-VMTE algorithm outperforms the dynamic impact factor and traditional greedy-based virtual multicast tree embedding approaches regarding bandwidth consumption, acceptance ratio, and resource depletion ratio metrics on NSFNET, USNET, Random-60 node, and Random-120 node network topologies.

Teber, Ahmet; Sarac, Mehmet F.
The effect of zirconium (Zr) substitution in nickel–cobalt ferrites, Co0.5Ni0.5ZrxFe2−xO4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) produced by the hydrothermal method on the electrical, magnetic, microstructural and characteristic properties are reported. A secondary phase as tetragonal-ZrO2 phase in the crystal system is detected and have both M-type hexagonal and tetragonal nanocrystallites between 32 and 67 nm. Refined structural parameters using Rietveld analysis are carried out, resulting in lattice parameters, the unit cell volume, parameter ratios, and the crystallite size using the TOPAS refinement program. In addition, residuals for the RBragg factor and goodness of fit (χ2) value for each concentration are represented. The Rietveld analysis determines that the predicted and actual diffraction patterns are in accord. Furthermore, the Zr effect is presented in unit volume as seen by the drop in peak intensity that occurs (with the addition of Zr) due to the lattice tension. Moreover, the morphological analyses indicate that the shape transformed from agglomerated clusters to oval-shaped structures and a reduction in grain size. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis in the range of 4000–450 cm−1 correlates with the presence of the hexagonal spinel ferrite structure. The dielectric parameters, such as the relative permittivity, tangent loss, and ac conductivity, are experimentally measured with the oscillation voltage level of 0.05 V in the frequency range of 0.1–10 MHz. The dielectric permittivities and tangent losses of the specimens decreased with an increment in frequency. Magnetic measurements reveal that the values of coercivity (Hc) have the propensity to increase relating to the zirconium concentration.

Altun Güven, Sara; Talu, Muhammed Fatih
Brain magnetic resonance imaging segmentation is a recent and still popular research area. Good and accurate segmentation results play an important role in the diagnosis of cancer or other brain diseases. In this article, a novel Generative Adversarial Network architecture is proposed for brain magnetic resonance imaging segmentation. The proposed method is called SSimDCL (Supervised SimDCL). Four studies were conducted in this article. In the first study, the SSimDCL method on the two-dimensional brain magnetic resonance imaging dataset was compared with the current state-of-art architectures CycleGAN, CUT, FastCUT, DCLGAN, and SimDCL. In the second study, the dataset resolution was improved. In the third study, being measured the efficiency of the newly created dataset. And the SSimDCL is trained for both the dataset with increased resolution and the normal dataset, and the results are obtained. In the fourth study, the results of the SSimDCL and the VolBrain brain magnetic resonance imaging segmentation results, which are widely used today, are included. When VolBrain segmentation and SSimDCL segmentation are compared. The results were compared both visually and metrically. Fréchet Inception Distance (FID), Kernel Inception Distance (KID), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity (LPIPS) were used as measurement metrics. The Jaccard and Dice similarity metrics were also used in the analysis. It was observed that the SSimDCL give satisfactory results in all four studies. This method can be used as an automatic brain MRI image segmentation system.

Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin; Tanrıkulu, Mehmet
Yoghurt samples were produced from sheep milk that was high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) treated at 0 (control), 30, 50, 70 and 100 MPa. Depending on the acidification kinetic parameters, HPH treatment increased the acidification rate and shortened the fermentation time. HPH-treated samples had lower pH, increased water holding capacity, decreased syneresis, decreased particle size and higher acetaldehyde content than the control. At 0 and 14 days of storage, the tyrosine value of HPH-treated samples was higher than the control. Although HPH resulted in higher L∗ and a∗ values, it caused lower b∗ values in yoghurt samples. Up to 30 MPa, HPH increased firmness and consistency; however, these were decreased above 50 MPa. During storage, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus counts ranged from 6.12 to 8.20 log cfu g−1 and 5.70 to 8.96 log cfu g−1, respectively. Depending on the increasing pressure, HPH caused higher S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus counts.

The radiation has been used in a variety of different fields since its discovery and thus its measurement becomes vital in these industries. Different type detector may be used to measure gamma rays depends on the purposes of measurements. Gamma ray energy spectrum is an important to determine either elemental analysing of a sample or radiation shielding purposes. On the other hand, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) may be used to predict and analysing of gamma-ray spectrum. In this study, gamma ray spectrum from 22Na source detected in NaI (Tl) detector was estimated by ANN. There have been installed ten different ANN models to find the network structure that produces the best predictive value for the gamma ray spectrum NaI (Tl) Detector. Estimation study has been continued with the ANN model with be possessed of lowest error value. ANN model was created by using energy, distance and gamma-rays energy spectrum (called Io) values. In the ANN model developed using the feed forward back propagation algorithm, were used artificial neurons two in the input layer, ten in the hidden layer and one in the output layer. For the case of present work, the experimental data was used 70% for education, 20% for validation and 10% for testing. The estimated values obtained with the ANN model were compared with the experimental results and a good correlation has been found between them (R2 = 0.99).

Considering the critical role of readings strategies in L2 reading this study aimed to investigate the impact of strategy training on Turkish EFL learners’ use of global reading strategies. 23 freshmen, enrolled in the ELT Department, participated in the study, and the data were collected through eye tracking and think-aloud protocols. The results are encouraging for the use of reciprocal teaching, one of the comprehension-enhancing approaches to teach reading, in the EFL contexts. Eye tracking results, hand in hand with the think-aloud protocols’ findings, revealed that the participants utilised global reading strategies more frequently to a statistically significant degree after the strategy instruction. Thus, it was concluded that strategy training was useful for the participants to improve their use of global reading strategies, and a recent technological tool can be purposefully integrated into the data collection procedure of educational research studies. Pedagogical implications on the strategy training for the employment of global reading strategies that would help students improve reading skills need to be given attention by teachers.

Güngör, Okan; Kahveci, Hakan
Partial shading significantly impacts the output power of photovoltaic (PV) arrays. This issue can be addressed by reconfiguring connections or positions of modules within the PV array. However, reconfiguration approaches present some drawbacks including the requirements of manual effort, complex algorithms, difficulty in implementation, and switching matrices that increase power losses. To overcome these issues, we present a low-cost and easily implemented reconfiguration method with integration into a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for a PV array. We denote our MPPT approach as reconfigurable MPPT (RMPPT), and verify its applicability using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, namely the reconfigurable PSO. Consequently, this approach has enhanced the output power of the PV array by at least 7.2% compared to PNO (perturb and observe) and PSO-based MPPT under realistic weather conditions.

Objective: In our study, we investigated the effect of reflexology on patient satisfaction, pain and vital signs after abdominal surgery. Method: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial with the participation of 156 abdominal surgery patients hospitalized in the general surgery unit of a training and research hospital. Personal Information Form, Visual Analogue Scale and Newcastle Nursing Care Satisfaction Scale were used in data collection. We performed the data analysis with One-way analysis of variance, Chi-squared test, paired samples t-test, and independent samples t-test. Results: When the pain, vital signs and satisfaction levels of the experimental and control groups were compared, the pain intensity of the experimental group was found to be lower and the level of satisfaction was higher after reflexology (p<0.01). After reflexology, the blood pressure was closer to 120/80 in the experimental group, the respiratory rate was between 16-22 (number/minute), the difference between the experimental and control groups were statistically significant (p<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference between the pulce oximetry values between the experimental and control groups. Conclusion: Surgical pain and non-optimal vital signs that are not well managed after surgery causes various complications and decrease patient satisfaction. The results of our study emphasize the power of reflexology in effective surgical pain management and normalizing vital signs and increasing patient satisfaction. We suggest that reflexology be performed to patients following abdominal surgery.

Prospective technicians for elderly care are indispensable elements that should be included in the relevant system to meet the ever-increasing care needs of the aging world population and increase the quality of care. This research was conducted to evaluate the attitudes of students in the elderly care program at the associate degree toward the older adults and their willingness to provide care. The sample of this descriptive and cross-sectional study comprised 525 volunteer students in elderly care programs in five vocational schools of higher education located in northeastern Turkey between June 2020 and September 2020. Mean, standard deviation, number, percentage, independent t-test, and correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. The study showed that the mean age of the students involved in the study was 20.3 ± 1.6. 77.7% of them were female, and 61.9% were in the first grade. Students’ willingness to care for older adults was found to be at a moderate level (36.3 ± 6.0). The students had a negative attitude (137.4 ± 26.7) about aging and elderliness. The willingness of male students to care for older adults was significantly higher (p <.05). Those who did not live with an older adult in the same house before had a more negative attitude toward them (p <.05). To get rid of personal and social stereotypes and have a positive attitude toward older adults, students should be provided to work in clinical environments that will allow them to spend more time with them.

The primary objective of this research was to investigate the effect of emotional states on creativity levels tertiary students in team and individual sports. The study further aimed to discern the various emotional states and creativity levels prevalent among athletes, contingent on different variables. The participants comprised 302 athletes, 162 males and 140 females, who were all registered students in the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Bayburt University. In order to gather demographic data, the researchers constructed a “Personal Information Form”. The “Sports Emotion Scale”, developed by Urfa and Aşçı (2019), was utilized to assess the emotional states of the athletes within their respective sports. To evaluate their creativity levels in sports, the “Creativity Scale for Athletes”, constructed by Güngör et al. (2020), was utilized. Data analysis incorporated frequency analysis for determining the participants' demographic attributes, and descriptive tests for establishing the mean scores of both emotional states and creativity levels in sports. The independent t-tests were used to compare emotional and creativity levels based on gender and sport type. One-way ANOVA tests were used to compare emotional and creativity levels based on educational level and years of sports experience. Post-hoc comparisons were facilitated using Tukey tests to identify specific group differences. Lastly, multiple linear regression analysis was applied to scrutinize the impact of emotional states on creativity levels in sports. The research findings indicate that athletes participating in team sports demonstrated higher levels of enthusiasm and happiness, as determined by the sub-dimensions of the Sports Emotion Scale, when compared to athletes participating in individual sports. In addition, it was noted that an increase in feelings of unhappiness among athletes corresponded to a decrease in their levels of sports creativity. Conversely, a surge in enthusiasm was associated with heightened creativity levels within sports.

Özdemir, Akın; Şahin, Engin
Chirality plays a significant part in life since it is closely linked to carrying out the many metabolic processes that make up a living being. Chiral secondary alcohols such as diaryl-, aryl heteroaryl-, and diheteroaryl are employed in pharmaceuticals as drug intermediates. Although biocatalytic asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones containing aromatic and heteroaromatic groups is widely known, biocatalytic reduction of heteroaromatic prochiral ketones containing sulfur heteroatoms is rarely known. Very few studies exist in the literature, including the biocatalytic reduction of phenyl(thiophen-2-yl)methanone (1). Moreover, the biocatalytic reduction of 1 with a mathematical modelling and optimization technique is unknown until now. In this study, Weissella paramesenteroides N7 biocatalyst for the asymmetric bioreduction of 1 using a novel modified distance optimization method. Optimization conditions were found as pH = 6.46, temperature = 26 °C, incubation period = 71 h, agitation speed = 200 rpm by the modified distance optimization method, and it was determined that the conversion and enantiomeric excess (ee) under these conditions could be 98.7% and 98%, respectively. Under these proposed optimization conditions, (S)-phenyl(thiophen-2-yl)methanol ((S)-2) was obtained with >99% ee, >99% conversion, and 97% yield. In addition, 11.29 g of 1 was completely converted into (S)-2 (11.07 g, 97% isolated yield) under optimized conditions. This is the first report about the fabrication of enantiopure (S)-2 in high gram scale using a biocatalyst and a novel modified distance optimization technique. In this study, the successful applicability of the new modified distance optimization method in biocatalytic asymmetric reduction reactions has been successfully demonstrated.

The research aims to examine the attitudes of individuals who are victims of abuse and those who are not towards marriage in terms of ambivalent sexism. The research study group consists of 718 individuals between the ages of 18–48. Research data were collected with the Inonu Marriage Attitude Scale and Ambivalent Sexism Inventory. As a result of the correlation analysis, it was concluded that the marriage attitude was positively and significantly correlated with hostile and protective sexism. However, since the relationship between hostile sexism and attitudes towards marriage is lower than that of protective sexism, hostile sexism was not included in the model as a control variable. In the covariance analysis, it is seen that protective sexism and sexual abuse predict the attitude towards marriage at a statistically significant level. In addition, when the effect of sexual abuse on the attitude towards marriage was examined by controlling the protective sexism variable, it was found that it was statistically significant without the effect of sexism. According to the findings, it was determined that individuals who were not victims of sexual abuse had higher attitudes towards marriage than those who were victims. Copyright:

Glucansucrase AP-37 was extracted from the culture supernatant of Lactobacillus kunkeei AP-37 and characteristics of the glucan produced by the active glucansucrase in terms of structural and functional roles were determined in this study. A molecular weight around 300 kDa was observed for glucansucrase AP-37 and its acceptor reactions with maltose, melibiose and mannose were also conducted to unveil the prebiotic potential of the poly-oligosaccharides formed via these reactions. The core structure of glucan AP-37 was determined by 1H and 13C NMR and GC/MS analysis which revealed that glucan AP-37 was a highly branched dextran composing of high levels of (1 → 3)-linked α-D-glucose units with low levels of (1 → 2)-linked α-D-glucose units. The structural features of the glucan formed, demonstrated that glucansucrase AP-37 was an α-(1 → 3) branching sucrase. Dextran AP-37 was further characterised by FTIR analysis and XRD analysis demonstrated its amorphous nature. A fibrous compact morphology was observed for dextran AP-37 with SEM analysis whereas TGA and DSC analysis revealed its high stability as no degradation was observed up to 312 °C. Finally, the prebiotic potential of the dextran AP-37 and the gluco-oligosaccharides produced with the acceptor reaction of α-(1 → 3) branching sucrase AP-37 were determined and promising results were found for the gluco-oligosaccharides to act as prebiotics.

Öztekin, Sebahat; Karbancioglu-Guler, Funda
Penicillium digitatum is the primary cause of green mould in mandarins during the postharvest period, mainly controlled through synthetic fungicides. This study evaluated the biocontrol of green mould on mandarin fruit with three antagonistic yeasts (Hanseniaspora uvarum, Meyerozyma guilliermondii, and Metschnikowia aff. pulcherrima P01A016), alone or in combination, by elucidating their possible mechanisms of action. All yeast cultures alone (73.85 % − 80.64 %) and their combinations (78.40 % − 83.18 %) reduced the mycelial growth of green mold in vitro. M. aff. pulcherrima reduced the disease incidence and lesion diameters by 75.5 % and 91.3 %, respectively, demonstrating the highest biocontrolling activity alone. Meyerozyma guilliermondii showed the highest biofilm formation (OD 0.93 ± 0.01) and antifungal activity (71.13 %) through volatile organic compounds (VOCs), while H. uvarum displayed cell-wall degrading β-1,3 glucanase activity together with mycocinogenic and VOCs activity. All tested yeasts showed chitinase, protease, and leucine arylamidase activity. Among dual combinations, M. guilliermondii and M. aff. pulcherrima (M-1) were the most compatible, while M. aff. pulcherrima and H. uvarum (M-3) had the least compatibility. The combined application of these three yeasts resulted in synergistic co-operation, demonstrating the highest biocontrolling efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Integrating multiple mechanisms of action in yeasts could create a hurdle approach for inhibiting green mould in citrus as a green alternative to synthetic fungicides. Thus, our study demonstrated that combining biocontrol yeasts can result in beneficial consortia for the eco-friendly and sustainable management of P.digitatum-caused postharvest diseases of mandarins in both the wounded and intact mandarin fruits.

Yaren Aydoğdu, Afranur; Artar, Musa; Ergün, Mustafa
In this paper, the ideal weight for steel truss roof systems is determined while corrosion is considered. Because one of the most crucial problems that steel truss roof systems may experience during their service life is the effect of corrosion. If a corroded structure is designed without considering this effect during the design phase, significant damages and even collapses may occur before it reaches its service life. For this reason, the aim of this study is to make weight optimizations by considering the corrosion effect of steel truss roof systems. Thus, it has been revealed how corrosion that may develop on the truss members' surfaces affects the structure's overall optimum weight. Swarm intelligence-based algorithm approaches, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), and Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) are used for this purpose to determine the optimal weight design of five different steel truss roof systems that were previously researched. The main program, which includes structural analysis (FEA) and optimization algorithms, is coded in the MATLAB programming language. The compression and tension bars selected as the limiting functions of the optimization problems are obtained from the stress, displacement, and slenderness conditions specified in the American Institute of Steel Construction-Allowable Strength Design (AISC-ASD, 1989) standard. It is seen that the optimum weight results obtained from all optimization methods for each structure in the non-corrosive condition are relatively similar. This result proves the correctness of the algorithms proposed in this paper. Then, under the influence of corrosion, the optimal weight designs of the structures are carried out. When the findings for the two cases are examined, it can be seen that the optimum weight values for all structures have slightly increased. This is because larger profiles are required due to overcapacity brought on by section loss. The weight of the structure increases in lockstep with the severity of corrosion. All the results like this are presented in detail with the help of tables and graphs in the relevant sections.
