Simsek, Cemaleddin; Tugcu, Emin; Albayrak, Cenk; Yazgan, Ayhan; Turk, Kadir; Herencsar, N.
Visible light communication (VLC) is an emerging technology to fulfill both illumination and communication purposes considered as either an alternative or a support system for some of scenarios carried by RF communication systems. Colour shift keying (CSK) is the modulation given in IEEE 802.15.7 VLC standard which proposes Reed-Solomon as error correction code. Polar code is the first theoretically proven capacity achieving error correction code with low encoding and decoding complexities. Performance of Polar code with belief propagation decoder has not been studied under VLC CSK scheme. In this study we investigate performance of Polar code with belief propagation decoder under VLC CSK scheme and compare it with performance of Reed-Solomon code. Result show that Polar code with belief propagation decoder outperforms Reed-Solomon code by at least 1.5dB.

Maleki, Masoud; Manshouri, Negin; Kayikcioglu, Temel
In brain-computer interface system (BCIs), direct communication between humans and computers is performed by analyzing neural signals and transforming them into digital signals. In the continuation of our previous works, in this paper, we advanced the proposed BCI system that was based on the gaze on rotating vanes. The speed of communication and convenience of the user are very important factors in BCI systems. Therefore, in this paper, for the convenience of the user, a single EEG channel was used. Also, for to increase the speed of the system, we tried to the classification of 0.5 sec epochs with a partial least squares regression (PLSR) as a fast classifier. In addition, we computed the information transfer rate (ITR) that has proved our proposed BCI system is fast and accurate. This system could be used in real-time implementations due to having high classification rate, speed and convenience of the user.

Takaoğlu, Zeynep Başkan
Energy is a difficult concept to be understood by students of all levels. Thus, the aim of the study is to determine how high school students at different levels perceive the energy and related concepts. In line with this purpose, 173 students in total of which 57 ones of the 9th grade, 94 ones of the 10th grade and 22 ones of the 11th grade participated in the study in which developmental research method of descriptive research design has been conducted. Four open-ended questions about energy and related concepts have been asked to the students in the study. As a result of the study, it is concluded that the students use energy instead of work, power, repulsion and pulling concepts and they consider energy as a feature specific to living creatures and moving situations. The potential and kinetic energy types are most expressed ones. The students frequently give examples from renewable and non-renewable energy types and they classify them accordingly. It is also concluded that they don’t have enough information about conservation of energy. It is thought that this misconception among the students emerges because energy and related concepts are taught them disconnected in different lessons of different disciplines and they do not understand preconceptions about energy and related notions. It is considered that the concept networks, concept maps, and conceptual change texts will help to relate energy concepts in students' minds.

- MakaleAçık Erişim2018Bounds for radii of starlikeness and convexity of some special functions
Aktaş, Ibrahim; Baricz, Árpád; Orhan, Halit
In this paper we consider some normalized Bessel, Struve, and Lommel functions of the first kind and, by using the Euler-Rayleigh inequalities for the first positive zeros of a combination of special functions, we obtain tight lower and upper bounds for the radii of starlikeness of these functions. By considering two different normalizations of Bessel and Struve functions we give some inequalities for the radii of convexity of the same functions. On the other hand, we show that the radii of univalence of some normalized Struve and Lommel functions are exactly the radii of starlikeness of the same functions. In addition, by using some ideas of Ismail and Muldoon we present some new lower and upper bounds for the zeros of derivatives of some normalized Struve and Lommel functions. The Laguerre-Pólya class of real entire functions plays an important role in our study.

Gul, Fatih; Babacan, Yunus
A semiconductor memristor device based on a 300-nm ZnO thin film was fabricated by direct-current reactive sputter. The memristive behavior of this device was confirmed by time dependent current–voltage (I-V-t) measurements, and the distinctive pinched hysteresis I-V loops of the memristor were observed. Structural analysis of the ZnO memristor was carried out using both X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After physical implementation of the memristor, an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) based memristor circuit was designed to emulate the ZnO-based semiconductor memristor for use in memristor-based circuit applications. All simulations were in good agreement with experimental results. In addition, a comparison of the proposed circuit with other memristor emulators was presented.

Çullu, Mustafa; Bakırhan, Emir
The objective of this study is to observe the radiation shielding efficiency of concrete produced by using the lead wastes that are stored in lead-zinc mines processing of which is not financially viable in the mines they are extracted from that have negative effects on the environment. Within this scope, concretes were produced to be used as radiation shield concretes. The samples were prepared by altering the amounts of heavy aggregates such as lead–zinc mine waste, Magnetite, Limonite, and Barite at 25%, 50%, and 75% ratios, and concrete samples were prepared in C16/20, C25/30, and C35/45 concrete strength grades to determine the effects of these grades on radiation absorption properties. In order to determine the radiation absorption coefficients, absorption coefficients at 662 keV, 1173 keV, 1332 keV, and 1460 keV energy levels from Cs-137, Co-60 and K-40 sources were determined by concrete slabs with dimensions of 20 × 20 × 5 cm.

Simsek, Huseyin; Derelioglu, Sera; Buyuk, Suleyman Kutalmış; Sukuroglu, Ebru Emine
The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of different protective agents on the surface microhardness and morphology on enamel eroded by a cola drink. Sixty sound anterior teeth were randomly divided into five groups. The baseline surface microhardness of the enamel was measured. For demineralization procedures, all teeth were immersed in cola for 8 minutes and surface microhardness was remeasured. The five groups for remineralization procedures were defined as: Group 1: Artificial saliva, Group 2: 1.23% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride gel (APF), Group 3: 5% NaF varnish, Group 4: Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP), and Group 5: Probiotic yogurt. After each experimental procedure, a third microhardness measurement was repeated. Surface morphological changes were observed using SEM. All data were recorded for each group and statistically analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance. All tests were performed at a significance level of p < 0.05. No significant differences for baseline microhardness values were found (P> 0.05). The mean surface microhardness in all groups decreased significantly after immersion in cola (P< 0.05). After remineralization, NaF varnish and APF gel significantly increased the surface microhardness values. There were no significant increases in the surface microhardness values of artificial saliva, CPP-ACP and probiotic yogurt. This study concludes that NaF varnish is more effective in re-hardening of eroded enamel.

Evren, Savaş; Kozak, Nazmi
This study was conducted to determine the competitive positions of five winter tourism destinations in Turkey. The explanatory sequential mixed method was used in order to compare the views of both the supply and demand sides. A questionnaire was first applied to current and potential visitors of the related destinations (n = 417), both in the field and online, followed by semi-structured interviews conducted with destination stakeholders (n = 12). It was observed that visitor perceptions positioned Uludağ with its tourism superstructure means and entertainment opportunities, Kartalkaya with its tourism superstructure quality and service quality, Erciyes, with its reasonable pricing policy and uncrowded slopes/lifts, Palandöken with its adequate number of lifts and snow quality, and Kartepe, with its beautiful scenery and accessibility. The assessments of the destination stakeholders demonstrated that strategies for strengthening the current position was not accepted at every destination and that only some destination stakeholders were inclined toward repositioning.

Catal Reis, Hatice; Bayram, Bülent; Bozkurt, Salih; Ince, Abdulkadir; Demir, Nusret; Seker, Dursun Zafer
This study presents an extended shoreline detection approach from pansharpened images of Turkish RASAT satellite which covers red, green and blue bands of the optical spectrum with 15 m ground resolution and panchromatic band with 7.5 m spatial resolution. The Lake Ercek of Turkey has been selected as the study area, which is a tectonic lake and home to a variety of water birds. The satellite images of the lake taken in 2013 and 2014 were considered for analysis. The proposed shoreline extraction system consists of a sequence of image processing steps in which simple linear clustering (SLIC) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are the main components. SLIC was used to create superpixels that form basis for object-based image analysis while PSO was employed for classifying objects into corresponding classes. The resulting images still contained unwanted artefacts; therefore, a post-processing step was performed to improve the accuracy of segmentation by applying thresholding, morphological processing, and manual editing for noise removal. The proposed framework was applied on two temporal RASAT images to test the variations of defined parameter settings. The success of the proposed system was to obtain shorelines with satisfying accuracy without using NIR band. Finally, the extracted shorelines were vectorised and compared with manually digitized shorelines from pansharpened satellite images for accuracy assessment.

In this study, isolation, conventional and molecular characterizations of ten thermophilic bacteria from Rize/Ayder were carried out. Xylanase from Geobacillus galactosidasius BS61 (GenBank number: KX447660) was purified by acetone precipitation, Diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and Sephadex G-100 chromatographies. The xylanase of G. galactosidasius BS61 in clarifying fruit juice was also investigated. Enzyme was purified 29.80-fold with 75.18% yield; and molecular weight was determined as 78.15 kDa. The optimum temperature of xylanase was 60 °C. The enzyme activity was maintained fully after 24 h and over 50% after 168 h at pH 4.0–10.0, while optimum pH was 7.0. Km and Vmax for beech wood xylan were measured as 3.18 mg mL−1, 123 U mg protein−1. In addition, Ca2+, Na+, Al3+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Mg2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ had decreasing effect on enzyme activity, while enzyme activity had been protected against anions, especially HSO3− and HPO4 2− stimulated enzyme activity. Xylanase applications (with 15 U/mL enzyme activity) in orange and pomegranate juices were increased; and the sugar and turbidity amounts were reduced 17.36% ± 1.18 and 30.52 ± 1.23, respectively. These results indicated that the xylanase of G. galactosidasius BS61 has biotechnological potential in juice clarification due to its stability against metal ions, chemicals and high pH-values.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films are suitable applicants for cutting tools due to their high hardness, low friction coefficient and wear rate. Doping metals in DLC films have been improved its tribological properties. In this study, titanium and tantalum doped hydrogenated DLC films were deposited by closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering system onto M2 high speed steels in Ar/N2/C2H2 atmosphere. The friction and wear properties of Ti:Ta-DLC film were investigated under different tribo-test conditions including in atmospheric pressure, distilled water, commercial oil and Ar atmosphere. The coated specimens were characterized by SEM and X-ray diffraction techniques. The bonding state of C-C (sp3) and C=C (sp2) were obtained with XPS. The tribological properties of Ti:Ta-DLC were investigated with pin-on-disc wear test. Hardness measurements performed by micro-indentation. Our results suggest that Ti:Ta-doped DLC film shows very dense columnar microstructure, high hardness (38.2 GPa) with low CoF (μ ≈0.02) and high wear resistance (0.5E-6 mm3/Nm).

Tropical theileriosis caused by Theileria annulata obligate parasite that infect ruminant animals, including Bos taurus. The disease results massive economic losses in livestock production worldwide. Here we describe cloning, expression and both biochemical and structural characterization of beta enolase from Bos taurus in vitro and in silico. The interconversion of 2‑phosphoglycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate was catalyzed by enolase is a metalloenzyme in glycolytic pathway and gluconeogenesis. Enolase from Bos taurus was cloned, expressed and the protein was purified at 95% purity using cobalt column by affinity chromatography. The optimum enzymatic activity was calculated at pH 6.5. For the first time in the literature, the kinetic parameters of the enzyme, Vmax and Km, were measured as 0.1141 mM/min and 0.514 mM, respectively. Besides, Bos taurus enolase 3-dimensional structure was built by homology modelling to be used in silico analyses. The interactions of the enzyme-substrate complex were elucidated by molecular dynamics simulations for 100 ns. These interactions were found to be the same as experimentally determined interactions in yeast. These results would enable further structure based drug design studies with the biochemical characterization of the host organism Bos taurus enolase enzyme in vitro and the elucidation of behavior of enzyme-substrate complex in silico.

This research aims to investigate how different landscape metrics are affected by the enhancement of the thematic classes in land cover/land use (LC/LU) maps. For this aim, three different LC/LU maps based on three different levels of CORINE (Coordination of Information on The Environment) nomenclature were created for the selected study area using GEOBIA (Geographic Object Based Image Analysis) techniques. First, second and third level LC/LU maps of the study area have five, thirteen and twenty-seven hierarchical thematic classes, respectively. High-resolution Spot 7 images with 1.5 m spatial resolution were used as the main Earth Observation data to create LC/LU maps. Additional geospatial data from open sources (OpenStreetMap and Wikimapia) were also integrated to the classification in order to identify some of the 2nd and 3rd level LC/LU classes. Classification procedure was initially conducted for Level 3 classes in which we developed decision trees to be used in object-based classification. Afterwards, Level 3 classes were merged to create Level 2 LC/LU map and then Level 2 classes were merged to create the Level 1 LC/LU map according to CORINE nomenclature. The accuracy of Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 maps are calculated as; 93.50%, 89.00%, 85.50% respectively. At the last stage, several landscape metrics such as Number of Patch (NP), Edge Density (ED), Largest Patch Index (LPI), Euclidean Nearest Neighbor Distance (ENN), Splitting Index (SPLIT) and Aggregation Index (AI) metrics and others were calculated for different level LC/LU maps and landscape metrics values were compared to analyze the impact of changing thematic details on landscape metrics. Our results show that, increasing the thematic detail allows landscape characteristics to be defined more precisely and ensure comprehensive assessment of cause and effect relationships between classes.

Kaya, Ayberk; Bulut, Fikri; Dağ, Serhat
This study investigates the bearing capacity of rock masses and stability of slopes at the Subasi viaduct site which is a part of the improvement project of the Artvin–Hopa government highway between KM 6 + 500 and 13 + 787 in NE Turkey. The geotechnical studies were performed in three stages. Firstly, the bearing capacity of moderately weathered andesitic tuff was evaluated using the empirical equations. Secondly, the major principal stress and vertical displacement due to the viaduct and traffic loadings at the level of foundations were determined by the finite element method (FEM). The vertical displacement value and comparison of bearing capacity and major principal stress show that any problem is not expected at the viaduct site in terms of the bearing capacity. Finally, the stability of slopes at the viaduct site was investigated using kinematic, limit equilibrium, and finite element method-based shear strength reduction analyses methods. It was concluded that no discontinuity controlled failures at the slopes are expected. However, a circular failure is possible to occur at the face slope excavated in highly weathered andesitic tuff. After support application, the long-term stabilization of face slope has been achieved. Consequently, it is suggested that the empirical, analytical, and numerical methods should be combined for a more reliable construction design.

Can, İbrahim
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between sprint and jump performance with velocity parameters in the loaded-squat jump exercise (SQ Loaded ). In accordance with this purpose, a total of 13 athletes competing in martial sports have participated in this study voluntarily. In this study, sprint tests, vertical jump (VJ), standing long jump (SLJ) tests and one repetition maximal strength test were applied. In order to determine velocity and power parameters, SQ Loaded exercise was applied by using an external load that corresponds to 40% of body weights of the subjects via an isoinertial velocity transducer (T-Force dynamic measurement system) and values of mean propulsive velocity (MPV), peak velocity (PV), mean propulsive power (MPP) and peak power (PP) were obtained. Descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation analysis and Shapiro-Wilk normality tests were used for data assessment. It has been concluded that there is no statistically significant relation between 10, 20 and 30 meter sprint times and the values of MPV (r=-,332; r=-,375; r=-,446; p>.05 respectively), PV (r=-,058; r=-,118; r=-,165; p>.05 respectively), MPP (r=-,285; r=-,482; r=-,485; p>.05 respectively) and PP (r=-,205; r=-,512; r=-,391; p>.05 respectively) during SQ Loaded exercise. In addition, while no statistically significant relation has been obtained between the VJ and SLJ values of the participants and MPV (r=,496; r =,429; p>.05 respectively) and PV (r=,300; r=,223; p>.05 respectively) values during propulsive stage of SQ Loaded exercise, it has been ascertained that there is a statistically positive and significant relation between the values of MPP(r=,620; r=,580; p>.05 respectively) and PP (r=,678; r=,572; p<.05 respectively). In conclusion, it can be suggested that lifting velocity and power values don’t have a positive effect on short sprint performance; however power values affect the vertical jump and standing long jump performances positively.

Temizel, Irfan; Abdioǧlu Yazar, Emel; Arslan, Mehmet; Kaygusuz, Abdullah; Aslan, Zafer
The Eocene intermediate to felsic plutons are widespread in varying sizes and compositions throughout the Eastern Pontides Orogenic Belt in NE Turkey. Of these, two monzonitic bodies (namely the Eriko Tepe and Göl Tepe Plutons) in the Gölköy (Ordu) area, extend nearly in the orientation of NWSE and E-W and were emplaced into the Upper Cretaceous and/or Eocene volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Petrographically, the studied monzonitic plutons are compositionally fine to medium grained monzonite, monzodiorite and subordinate quartz-monzonite. They consist of plagioclase (An35-67), K-feldspar (Or61-96), quartz, clinopyroxene (Wo28-49En35-51Fs10-25), biotite (Mg#: 0.53-0.73) ± hornblende (Mg#: 0.65-0.82), Fe-Ti oxide with monzonitic, poikilitic, perthitic, rare antirapakivi and graphic textures. Mineral thermobarometer estimations imply that the plutons were crystallized in P-T conditions of mid to shallow crustal levels. Petrochemically, these monzonitic plutons show post-collisional, I-type, metaluminous (A/CNK=0.76-0.93) and shoshonitic features. The wholerock major oxide and trace element variations suggest that fractionational crystallization played a significant role in the evolution of these monzonitic plutons. The primitive mantle-normalized trace element patterns of the studied plutons are similar to each other with enrichment in large ion lithophile elements, Th, Ce and negative Nb and Ti anomalies. Moreover, the chondrite-normalized rare earth element plots of the plutons show moderately enriched concave-shaped patterns (LaN/LuN=9.3-12.6) with negative Eu anomalies (EuN/Eu∗=0.69-0.84), all of which imply plagioclase and clinopyroxene ± hornblende fractionations during their evolution. The geochemical data suggest that the monzonitic plutons have evolved from parental magmas derived from the melts of enriched lithospheric mantle, in a post-collisional setting.
