Vural, Alaaddin
Soil samples collected from Demirören Alteration area, Gümüshane NE Turkey were analyzed for heavy metals by using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry and the contamination level of heavy metals was assessed on the basis of Geoaccumulation Index, Enrichment Factor, Pollution Index and Integrated Pollution Index. The results indicated that, in comparison with background value of upper crust, soil samples in Demirören alteration area have elevated levels of metal concentrations as a whole. High Geoaccumulation Indexes and Enrichment Factors for molybdenum, lead, selenium, bismuth, cadmium and copper in alteration area indicated that there is a considerable amount of especially molybdenum, lead and copper pollution, which mainly originate from alteration in the area.

Merdan, Mehmet
In this paper, the fractional variational iteration method (FVIM) was implemented to solve timefractional generalized Hirota-Satsuma coupled-KDV equation with modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. A new application of fractional variational iteration method (FVIM) was extended to derive analytical solutions in the form of a series for these equations. It is indicated that the solutions obtained by the FVIM are reliable and effective method for strongly nonlinear couple partial equations with modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. The effects of different fractional derivative for the coupled system are investigated.

Coruh, Emine; Bilgic, Abdulbaki; Tortum, Ahmet
We analyzed factors affecting the frequency of accident counts in 81 cities over a three-year period (2008-2010) with monthly data using random-parameters negative binomial panel count data models. Among models considered, the random parameters model with the correlated coefficients outperformed the other models and was found to fit the data best with almost a perfect prediction of the conditional mean level. Most of variables used to control for the variation in the frequency of accident counts play crucial role with higher significance levels. Also, marginal effects and elasticity estimates were derived to get more insight into the effects of percent and unit changes in the dependent variable in response to changes in the exogenous variables.

Tur, Huseyin; Hoskan, Nihan; Aktas, Gulten
This study is based on the geological interpretation of 250 km2 of multibeam bathymetric data coupled with 300 km of seismic profiles recorded on the northern shelf of the Marmara Sea offshore Büyükçekmece and Küçükçekmece Lagoons. The sea bottom morphology has a highly chaotic structure at the exit of the Büyükçekmece and Küçükçekmece lagoons. This chaotic surface structure is controlled by a basin-ridge system lying in the NE–SW direction at the exit of the Büyükçekmece Lagoon and by a relatively deep entrance observed at the exit of the Küçükçekmece Lagoon. In addition, the linear submarine slope parallel to the shoreline between the Istanbul Strait and the Küçükçekmece Lagoon is an important morphological structure of this area. The Istanbul Strait’s canyon on the northern shelf of the Marmara Sea and the elevated submarine plain west of this canyon are other important morphological structures observed at the sea bottom. The geologic interpretation of seismic profiles has allowed us to distinguish two seismo-stratigraphic units. The lower one is separated from the overlying units by a seismic sequence having a seismic facies from chaotic to parallel and the top represented by a high amplitude seismic reflector. Since these units get close to the sea bottom rising landwards, they are inferred to be the seaward continuation of the Oligocene–Upper Miocene units widely exposed on land. The upper unit, overlying the acoustic basement, whose parallel internal reflections onlap and downlap on the top of the acoustic basement, is interpreted as a Quaternary basin fill. Two groups of faults have been identified on seismic profiles and identified based on their characteristics in the study area. The first group consists of dip-slip faults trending NNE–SSW. These faults border the western slope of the Bosporus and the NNE–SSW trending basins offshore of the Büyükçekmece Lagoon. The second group of faults consists of NW–SE oriented strike-slip faults. These faults have created the linearities in the same direction at the sea bottom. As the result of comparison of these NW–SE-faults to the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), this group of faults is likely to have a relation with the NAFZ. Therefore, it is considered that the mentioned faults may be reactivated in the region due to the stress created by the NAFZ.

Three new series of 33 quinolone compounds, 2-(2-, 3-, and 4-fluorophenyl)-4-O-alkyl(C5-15)quinolines (7a-k, 8a-k, and 9a-k), were synthesized from 2-(2-, 3-, and 4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H )-one (4, 5, and 6) by the reaction of alkyl halides under basic conditions in DMF. The new compounds 7a-k, 8a-k, and 9a-k were synthesized from flavonones 4-6, which can be considered new precursors for quinoline synthesis through a one-step reaction. All the target compounds (7a-k, 8a-k, and 9a-k) were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against nine test microorganisms. They showed the most activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 62.5-500 μg/mL, indicating their potential uses as antituberculosis agents. Among them 8a-k (m-fluoride) were the most active compounds against M. smegmatis (MIC, 62.5-125 μg/mL). The newly synthesized title compounds were also evaluated for their in vitro antioxidant activities using DPPH• radical scavenging and FRAP tests. They showed at a low concentration (mg/mL) a range of SC50 values of 0.03-12.48 mg/mL (DPPH•) and 0-722 μM (FRAP), respectively. The antioxidant results of compounds 7a-k, 8a-k, and 9a-k revealed that the length of the alkyl chain was negatively correlated with antioxidant capacity.

In this article we deal with harmonic properties of intersection space Aq,pk,υ,w (Rd) = Lqυ (Rd) ∩ Wp,wk (Rd) defined by aid of weighted Lebesgue space Lqυ (Rd) and weighted Sobolev space Wp,wk (Rd). We research the inclusions and inequalities between the spaces Aq,pk,υ,w (Ω) where Ω ⊂ Rd be an open set. Finally, we proved that the spaces M (A1,pk,w (Rd), L1w (Rd)) can be identified with the weighted spaces of bounded measures Mw (Rd).

Çavdar, Özlem; Bayraktar, Alemdar; Altunışık, Ahmet Can
Stochastic seismic finite element analyses of the Kömürhan Bridge, the material properties of which are described by random fields, are presented in this paper. The stochastic perturbation technique and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method are used in the analyses. A summary of MCS and perturbation-based stochastic finite element dynamic analysis formulation of the structural system is given. The Kömürhan Bridge, located on the 51st km of Elazığ-Malatya highway in the east of Turkey, was chosen as a numerical example. The Erzincan earthquake in 1992 was considered a ground motion, since it took place in the vicinity of the bridge. The material properties were considered to be random variables. During the stochastic analysis, displacements and internal forces of the bridge under consideration were obtained using the perturbation-based stochastic finite element method (SFEM), as well as the MCS method. The selected random variables were elastic modulus and mass density. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed SFEM algorithm were validated through comparison with results of the MCS method.

Bergamot extract is used to obtain fragrant tea (Earl Grey) and also its rind is used to make some jams. Calcium citrate and citric acid can be obtained from bergamot juice. In the study, antioxidant and total phenolic content of bergamot juice were determined. Two methods, namely β-carotene bleaching and DPPH assay were used to determine total antioxidant capacity, while Folin-Ciocalteu reagent was used to determine total phenols. Results showed that bergamot had high total phenolic (80.06 μg GAE/mg DW) and also high total antioxidant capacity with β-carotene bleaching (60.12%) and with DPPH (180 mg/100 ml). The study demonstrates the nutritional potential of bergamot juice.

Celik, Necati; Altin, Duygu; Cevik, Ugur
In the presented study, a code was created for the purpose of true coincidence summing (TCS) correction factors for 134Cs. The created code was implemented in EGS4 Monte Carlo simulation package. TCS factors were determined for nine different energies for different detector-source geometries. The calculated results were successfully validated by an empirical method using a point 134Cs radioactive source and a p-type HPGe detector having 55% relative efficiency. Although the code created gives TCS factors only for 134Cs, the technique presented can be used to obtain the factors for any radionuclide used in gamma-ray spectrometry.

Sukuroglu, Ebru Emine; Totik, Yasar; Arslan, Ersin; Efeoglu, Ihsan
In recent years, various technologies have been increasingly investigated for the surface modification of Ti and Ti alloys. Microarc oxidation (MAO) is one of the effective techniques to improve surface properties. However, it has some disadvantages for sliding wear applications and/or aggressive environments. In this study, the combined MAO and closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering process was used to deposit duplex MAO/diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings on Ti6Al4V alloy. Analysis of the microstructures, morphology, and crystallographic structure were performed by using a SEM, Raman, and XRD. The wear, corrosion, and tribo-corrosion properties of the coatings were investigated using the pin-on-disk wear test, potentiodynamic polarization test, and combining tribo-corrosion test unit, respectively. The results of this study have shown that duplex MAO/DLC coatings exhibit better wear, corrosion, and tribo-corrosion properties than the DLC or MAO monolayer on Ti6Al4V alloy substrate. MAO/DLC coatings exhibited dense structure, lower coefficient of friction and corrosion current density, and higher tribo-corrosion resistance. The results have also shown that MAO/DLC duplex coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates increased the tribo-corrosion resistance by acting as a barrier layer.

Döner, F.
In Turkey, cadastral surveys have been carried out by various measurement techniques, at different standards and based on different legislation. Consequently, one of the most important problems with the cadastre is that approximately half of the current cadastral maps are insufficient to meet the expectations of today’s modern cadastre. In order to resolve the problem and renew the cadastral maps, the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre commenced the Land Registry and Cadastre Modernization Project in 2009. Within the scope of the project, it is intended that 10 million parcels will be renewed by the end of 2014. This study aims to evaluate the cadastre renovation studies in Turkey with respect to their legal and technical aspects using a case study area. Results show that cadastre renovation studies may be insufficient to enrich and update the cadastral data. As a solution, legal amendments should be made in the Cadastre Law in a manner that will allow a new cadastral survey to be performed.

Yolcu, H.
Sloping fields on soils of shallow depth to tillage are commonly left uncultivated in many parts of the world. This study was conducted to compare the effects on morphological traits, dry-matter (DM) yield, legume ratio (LR), crude protein content (CP), crude protein yield (CP yield) and mineral concentrations (N, P, K, S, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na, B and Zn) of Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grown in intercropping mixtures in response to three rates of organic solid cattle manure application (M0: 0, M1: 10, M2: 20 t ha-1). Experimentation was conducted on soils of two different soil depths [shallow (8-12 cm; low-medium erosion risk) and normal soil depth (18-22 cm; no erosion risk)] on a sloping field in the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 growing seasons at Gumushane, Turkey. Herbage harvested on the shallow depth area had 22-73% less DM yield, 14-72% less CP yield, 6-9% greater CP content and generally higher minerals contents than herbage from the normal soil depth area. Cattle manure applications increased DM yield by about 23%, increased CP content and CP yield, and also increased the contents of most minerals in herbage of the intercropping mixtures, relative to the control, averaged over the two soil depths. It is suggested that, for areas with shallow soil depths that are prone to erosion, plant cover should be used for forage production, and that fertilization with solid cattle manure at 20 t ha-1 can support production of quality forage of acceptable DM yield.

Vural, Alaaddin
The objective of this study was to determine the potential environmental risks associated with the Kirkpavli (Old Gümüşhane in northern Turkey) alteration area by quantifying pollution in soil. The Kirkpavli (Old Gümüşhane) alteration area is situated at the south of the deposit with the same name of gold-silver-bearing lead, zinc, and copper in the southern part of the Black Sea Tectonic Unit (Eastern Pontides). In this study, 28 soil samples acquired from the alteration area were analyzed for contents of some main elements including lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), and arsenic (As). Contents of the elements in the area were determined, and high values were obtained such as 1,171 mg/kg for As, 12.4 mg/kg for Cd, 77.3 mg/kg for Co, 341 mg/kg for Cu, 1,172 mg/kg for Mn, 51.9 mg/kg for Ni, 3,725 mg/kg for Pb, and 880 mg/kg for Zn. Soil contamination was appraised on the basis of Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo), Enrichment Factor (EF), Pollution Index, and Integrated Pollution Index. The calculated results of Igeo, EF, and PI of the elements can be shown in descending order of parameters as As > Pb > Cd > Zn > Cu > Co > Mn. The parameters for some of these elements indicated extremely high contamination (Igeo > 5), extremely high enrichment (EF > 40), and high pollution (PI > 3). High Igeo, EF, and PI values of As, Pb, and Cd in the soil samples mean that soil pollution is typically associated with alteration area. Considering its location and the results of this study, the Kirkpavli alteration area is a significant source of pollution and may have ecotoxicological effects on terrestrial, groundwater, and aquatic ecosystems in the region.

Turan, İbrahim; Değer, Orhan; Aliyazicioğlu, Yüksel; Demir, Selim; Kilinç, Kağan; Sümer, Ayşegül
Background/aim: Propolis is a bee product with antioxidative, antimutagenic, and other beneficial properties, and it is used as a natural drug. It is rich in polyphenolic compounds. Its composition varies depending on the particular geographical region. Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalanced free radical production and antioxidant system. The effects of flavonoids on the expression of DNA repair enzymes have been examined previously; however, no study has investigated the effects of propolis. This study investigated the effects of ethanolic extracts of Turkish propolis (EEP) on the expression of DNA repair enzymes. Materials and methods: The effects of EEP and tertiary-butyl-hydroperoxide (t-BHP) on cell viability were determined using MTT. DNA damage was determined using comet assay. mRNA expression of target enzymes was detected using RT-PCR. Results: According to the cytotoxicity analysis, after a recovery time of 4 h, appropriate damage agent t-BHP and optimum EEP concentrations were 300 µM and 200 µg/mL, respectively. 8-Oxoguanine-glycosylase (hOGG-1) and endonuclease-VIII-like-1 (NEIL-1) expressions increased in the positive control group (t-BHP alone) and the study group (t-BHP+EEP). Maximum increase in NEIL-1 expression was at hour 12 in the positive control group and at hour 8 in the study group. Conclusion: EEP can be considered as a potential source of functional food and pharmaceutical agents.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of retrofitting dynamic characteristics of a damaged laboratory arch dam model, subsequently repaired with high-strength structural mortar and strengthened with composite carbon fiber reinforced polymer. This study constructed in laboratory conditions is a prototype arch dam-reservoir-foundation model. Five test cases of ambient vibration on the arch dam model illustrate the changes in dynamic characteristics: natural frequency, mode shape, and damping ratio, before and after retrofitting. The ambient vibration tests collected data from the dam body during vibrations by natural excitations which provided small impacts and response signals from sensitivity accelerometers placed at crest points. Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition Method in the frequency domain extracts the experimental dynamic characteristics. At the end of the study, experimentally identified dynamic characteristics obtained from all test cases have been compared with each other. Apparently, after the retrofitting, the natural frequencies of the dam body increased considerably, demonstrating that the retrofitting, including repairing and strengthening is very effective on the flashback of initial dynamic characteristics.

Papillomatosis is widespread in cattle and is often observed on the skin of udders. For treatment, anthelmintic, immunomodulator and homeopathic drugs are administered. The objective of the study was to examine the therapeutic effect of levamisole and tarantula cubensis extract in the treatment of papilloma observed in the teats of cows. Sixteen Holstein cows between the age of 2-3 years were used as study material. The cows with Papillomatosis were randomly assigned into two equal groups. The animals in the first group (n=8) were treated with intramuscular double doses of levamisole (5 mg/kg) applied one week apart. The second group of animals (n=8) was treated with two subcutaneous doses of 10 ml of Tarantula cubensis extract one week apart. Four animals in the first group recovered while 8 animals in the second group recovered. The total serum oxidant levels of the animals treated with Tarantula cubensis extract and levamisole on the 15th day was found to be significantly lower than the serum levels of same animals on day 0 of the treatment (P<0.05). The results of this study revealed that tarantula cubensis extract applied in normal therapeutic doses was more effective in the treatment of teat papillomatosis than levamisole.

Decision Support Systems (DSS) is widely used to develop spatially explicit forest management plans through the integration of spatial parameters. As a part of this study, a simulation-based spatial DSS, the ETÇAPSimülasyon program was developed and tested in a case study area. The system has the capability to control the spatial structure of forests based on a geodatabase. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) was used to generate the database, using spatial parameters including opening size, block size and green-up delay in addition to other attribute data such as the empirical yield table and the product assortment table. Based on the simulation technique, a spatial forest management model was developed to link strategic planning with tactical planning on a stand base and to present results with a number of performance indicators. One important component of the model determined all spatial characteristics with spatial parameters and patch descriptions. A stand growth and yield simulation model (BARSM) based on the relationship between current and optimal basal area development was also generated to project future stand characteristics and analyze the effects of various silvicultural treatments. A number of spatial forest management strategies were developed to generate spatially implementable harvest schedules and perform spatial analyses. The forest management concept was enhanced by employing a spatial simulation technique to help analyzing the ecosystem structure. Spatial characteristics for an on- The-ground forest management plan were then developed. The model was tested in Altinoluk Planning Unit (APU) using a spatial simulation technique based on various spatial parameters. The results indicated that the spatial model was able to satisfy the spatial restriction requirements of the forest management plan.

Koca, Seval Bahadir; Cevikbas, Mustafa
As alternative to formalin, the antifungal effect of a plant product [Origanum onites L. (Lamiaceae) oil] was investigated for use in the artificial incubation of narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz) eggs. For this purpose, this study was conducted as two experiments. In experiment I, the eggs were artificially incubated for 40 days. In experiment II, juveniles were cultured to determine effects of O. onites oil on juveniles for 30 days. The experimental groups were as follows: formalin (3500 ppm for 15 min), O. onites oil (300 ppm for 15 min, 700 ppm for 2 min and 1000 ppm as a dip treatment 15 split-second) and a control (no treatment). In the experiment I, the highest hatching rate (86%) and survival rate of stage II juveniles (80%) were observed in 1000 ppm dip group. These results were similar to that of formalin group (85% and 79%) respectively. The control group exhibited the lowest hatching rate (49%) and stage II rate (42%) compared with the 1000 ppm dip group and 3500 ppm formalin treatments. However, other concentrations (300 and 700 ppm) of O. onites showed toxic effects on the eggs and there was no hatching. In the experiment II, the survival rate and growth performance of the crayfish juveniles were similar in all groups. This study indicated that the 1000 ppm O. onites dip treatment could be a good alternative to formalin for improved egg hatchability in the artificial incubation of crayfish eggs.
