    Determining The Water Quality of Maruf Dam (Boyabat-Sinop)

    Mutlu, Ekrem; Kutlu, Banu

    In this study, the preliminary findings obtained from 3 sampling points, which represent the whole, on Maruf Irrigation Dam, which is located in Boyabat district of Sinop province, for 12 months between September 2015 and August 2016 were examined. The parameters monitored are temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, electrical conductivity, total hardness, total alkalinity, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand, and dissolved anions and cations (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium, nitrate, phosphate, chloride, sulfate, and sulfite). Because of its low dissolved ionic matter content, Maruf Dam was characterized as an alkali dam with mid-hard water and low electrical conductivity. In terms of parameters A and B of Surface Water Quality Management Regulation, the dam is considered high-quality and unpolluted. Besides the irrigation purposes, for which the barrage was constructed, the dam can also be used for aquaculture, animal breeding, and farming needs.

    EFFECT OF DIETARY FISH OIL REPLACEMENT WITH PLANT OILS ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND GENE EXPRESSION IN JUVENILE RAINBOW TROUT (ONCORHYNCHUS MYKISS)

    Kutluyer, Filiz; Sirkecioglu, Ahmet Necdet; Aksakal, Ercument; Aksakal, Feyza Icoglu; Tunç, Abdullah; Günaydin, Esra

    An eight-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of total (100%) replacement of dietary fish oil with alternative lipid sources in juvenile rainbow trout. Six iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic experimental diets were formulated: CO (14%) -cod liver oil; SSO (14%) -safflower seed oil; SBO (14%) -soybean oil; LO (14%) -linseed oil; SBO (7%) + LO (7%) -a blend of soybean oil and linseed oil; and SSO (7%) + LO (7%) -a blend of safflower seed oil and linseed oil. Growth performance [specific growth rate (SGR), weight gain (WG), food conversion ratio (FCR) and survival rate (SR)], growth hormones [growth hormone (GH-I), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II)], immune transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and antioxidant [superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST)] response, and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) mRNA levels were determined in muscle and liver. Our data indicated that final weight, weight gain, FCR and SGR showed significant difference among the six dietary treatments (P<0.05) while there were no significant differences in survival rate between the rainbow trout from supplement fed groups and control group. HSP70 mRNA level expression in muscle was higher in fish fed SSO (P<0.05) while highest level in liver was obtained from fish fed SBO compared to the other treatments (P<0.05). There were no significant differences among treatments for TGF-beta mRNA expression level in muscle and liver. In conclusion, growth performance and expression levels of growth hormones, antioxidants, HSP70, except TGF-beta were affected by five separate lipid sources. In addition, LO positively increased growth performance of juvenile rainbow trout by means of preventing oxidative stress and HSP70 and, enhanced expression of growth hormone related gene.

    Plant intelligence based metaheuristic optimization algorithms

    Akyol, Sinem; Alatas, Bilal

    Classical optimization algorithms are insufficient in large scale combinatorial problems and in nonlinear problems. Hence, metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been proposed. General purpose metaheuristic methods are evaluated in nine different groups: biology-based, physics-based, social-based, music-based, chemical-based, sport-based, mathematics-based, swarm-based, and hybrid methods which are combinations of these. Studies on plants in recent years have showed that plants exhibit intelligent behaviors. Accordingly, it is thought that plants have nervous system. In this work, all of the algorithms and applications about plant intelligence have been firstly collected and searched. Information is given about plant intelligence algorithms such as Flower Pollination Algorithm, Invasive Weed Optimization, Paddy Field Algorithm, Root Mass Optimization Algorithm, Artificial Plant Optimization Algorithm, Sapling Growing up Algorithm, Photosynthetic Algorithm, Plant Growth Optimization, Root Growth Algorithm, Strawberry Algorithm as Plant Propagation Algorithm, Runner Root Algorithm, Path Planning Algorithm, and Rooted Tree Optimization.

    Pleistocene Glaciations in Karadag, Western Taurus Mountains, Turkey

    Bayrakdar, Cihan; Çilgin, Zeynel; Saris, Faize

    Karadag is one of the mountains subjected to the Pleistocene glaciations in the Teke Peninsula (Western Taurus) along with Beydaglari, Akdag, and Sandiras Mountains. Karadag, which reaches 2418 m summit at a 30 km straight distance from the northeast of Fethiye Bay, has many peaks over 2300 m. There are plenty of glacial researches and dating studies aim to reveal Pleistocene glaciation chronology of the mountains such as Sandiras and Akdag in the Teke Peninsula. On the other hand, glaciations in Beydaglari were mentioned superficially and in general terms. Lastly, there has not been known any glaciation phenomenon in Karadag, in other words there are not any studies concerning the glaciation on the mountain. However, Karadag has distinctive cirques and moraines on the slopes of high elevations near the peak. In this study, we identified glacial valleys, cirques developed in different sizes and aspects and lastly frontal and hummocky moraines in front of these cirques. They are descending to the elevation of 1800 m. With this study, a new glacial area was identified in Turkey and made a contribution to the glaciation inventory of Turkey. This study aims to reveal the geomorphological and climatological characteristics of this area with regard to tectonic, climatic and karstic characteristics during Pleistocene. Maps and relevant outputs were created and analyzed by geographic information systems using the spatial data obtained from the field studies, unmanned aerial vehicles and meteorological stations.

    Evaluation of physical and mechanical characteristics of siderite concrete to be used as heavy-weight concrete

    Esen, Yuksel; Dogan, Zulfu Murat

    The objective of this study is to investigate the usability of siderite aggregates mentioned above as a heavy-weight aggregate in the heavy-weight concrete production and their effects on physical properties of the heavy-weight concrete mixture. For this purpose, normal-weight aggregate content was decreased at the rate of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% by volume of the concrete mixture prepared and mixtures were prepared by its substitution with siderite aggregate at the same rates. Based on the increase in siderite aggregate in the concrete mixture, a considerable increase in unit weight, compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete was obtained. Plate-shaped concrete specimens obtained from combined normal-weight and heavy-weight aggregates were exposed to radiation with different X-ray source (118 keV, 164 keV) and Co-60 (1250 keV) beam source at cekmece Nuclear Facility. It is clearly seen that the concrete mixture containing siderite aggregate improved 70% radiation absorption characteristics compared to that of the concrete mixture without siderite aggregate.

    Nas, Mehmet Salih; Gür, Aycan; Gür, Tugba; Yönten, Vahap

    The thermodynamic parameters and immobilization kinetics of catalase enzyme via adsorption onto krill clay were performed in aqueous solution in batch system. The adsorbent was characterized by X-ray fluorescence, scanning electron microscope and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller N-2 adsorption measurements. The effect of some parameters to the adsorption process such as contact time, stirring speed, initial enzyme concentration, initial ionic strength, temperature and pH were analyzed. Maximum adsorption capacity (q(m)) showed a great dependence on pH and initial enzyme concentration. It was found at pH 5.5, and initial enzyme concentration, 0.0075 g L-1 values. Pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion were used to fit the kinetics data on kinetic models. Furthermore, thermodynamic activation parameters such as enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy and activation energy (Delta H degrees, Delta S degrees, Delta G degrees and E-a) which reveal that catalase enzyme adsorption occur spontaneously and in endothermic nature were determined. The obtained results confirmed that the applicability of krill clay is an efficient immobilizing supporter for catalase enzyme and krill clay material can be used as a very effective adsorbent in immobilization of this enzyme from aqueous solutions.

    Effects of subchronic exposure to zinc nanoparticles on tissue accumulation, serum biochemistry, and histopathological changes in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

    Kaya, Hasan; Duysak, Muge; Akbulut, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Sevdan; Guerkan, Mert; Arslan, Zikri; Demir, Veysel; Ates, Mehmet

    Zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) are among the least investigated NPs and thus their toxicological effects are not known. In this study, tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were exposed to 1 and 10 mg/L suspensions of small size (SS, 40-60 nm) and large size (LS, 80-100 nm) ZnNPs for 14 days under semi-static conditions. Total Zn levels in the intestine, liver, kidney, gill, muscle tissue, and brain were measured. Blood serum glucose (GLU), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were examined to elucidate the physiological disturbances induced by ZnNPs. Organ pathologies were examined for the gills, liver, and kidney to identify injuries associated with exposure. Significant accumulation was observed in the order of intestine, liver, kidney, and gills. Zn levels exhibited time- and concentration-dependent increase in the organs. Accumulation in kidney was also dependent on particle size; NPs SS-ZnNPs were trapped more effectively than LS-ZnNPs. No significant accumulation occurred in the brain (p>0.05) while Zn levels in muscle tissue increased only marginally (p0.05). Significant disturbances were noted in serum GOT and LDH (p<0.05). The GPT levels fluctuated and were not statistically different from those of controls (p>0.05). Histopathological tubular deformations and mononuclear cell infiltrations were observed in kidney sections. In addition, an increase in melano-macrophage aggregation intensity was identified on the 7th day in treatments exposed to LS-ZnNPs. Mononuclear cell infiltrations were identified in liver sections for all treatments. Both ZnNPs caused basal hyperplasia in gill sections. Fusions appeared in the gills after the 7th day in fish treated with 10 mg/L suspensions of SS-ZnNPs. In addition, separations in the secondary lamella epithelia were observed. The results indicated that exposure to ZnNPs could lead to disturbances in blood biochemistry and cause histopathological injuries in the tissues of O. niloticus. (c) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Hayta, Sukru; Tasar, Neslihan; Kiran, Yasar; Baser, Birol

    Centaurea derderiifolia Wagenitz., Centaurea drabifolia Sm. subsp. floccosa (Boiss.) Wagenitz & Greuter and Centaurea kotschyi (Boiss. & Heldr.) Hayek var. floccosa (Boiss.) Wagenitz, which are endemic taxa from Turkey belonging to Centaurea sect. Cheirolepis, were subjected to morphological, karyological and palynological investigations. The somatic chromosome numbers, pollen morphology and detailed morphometric properties were examined. The somatic chromosome numbers were determined as 2n = 2x = 36 in C. derderiifolia, C. kotschyi var. floccosa, and C. drabifolia subsp. floccosa. Karyotype analysis indicated that chromosomes of these Centaurea taxa generally have median region (m), submedian region (sm) and rarely median point (M) karyotypes. The pollen morphology of these endemic taxa of the genus Centaurea was investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy. The pollen grains of the examined species are mainly isopolar and radially symmetric, subprolate, tricolporate. Tectum ornamentation is scabrate and scabrate-perforate, amb triangular. The pollen grains of all taxa studied are 3-zonocolporate. The colpus is usually long, acute at ends and with smooth membrane. Pollen grains belonging to Cheirolepis section reveal homogeneity in their characters.

    First microsatellite markers for Scaligeria lazica Boiss. (Apiaceae) by next-generation sequencing: population structure and genetic diversity analysis

    Baldemir, Ayse; Topçu, Hayat; Paksoy, Mehmet Yavuz; Motalebipour, Elmira Ziya; Kafkas, Salih

    The Apiaceae family includes a few agronomic and medicinal species, one of which is Scaligeria lazica Boiss. In this study, the genetic diversity of S. lazica was analyzed based on novel simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers using next-generation sequencing (NGS). A total of 15.17G clean Illumina data set was obtained and dinucleotide repeats were the most abundant repeats in S. lazica. Of the tested 150 SSR primer pairs, 139 ones produced amplification and 84 ones were polymorphic. Forty polymorphic SSR loci were used in genetic diversity analysis of 40 S. lazica accessions from four locations. A total of 264 alleles were amplified with an average of 6.6 alleles per locus. The polymorphism information content (PIC) was 0.60, while the observed homozygosity (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) values were 0.47 and 0.66, respectively. According to cluster and structure analysis, all accessions were grouped into four different clusters according to their collection sites. The SSR markers developed in this study can be tested for other Scaligeria species due to their high transferability and can be used for genetic studies in genus Scaligeria DC.

    Synthesis, thermal degradation and dielectric properties of poly[2-hydroxy,3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl methacrylate]

    Biryan, Fatih; Demirelli, Kadir; Torgut, Gulben; Pihtili, Guzin

    2-Hydroxy-3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl methacrylate (NOPMA) monomer was synthesized from reaction of 2-[(2-naphthyloxy)methyl]oxirane with methacrylic acid in the presence of pyridine. The polymerization of NOPMA was carried out by free radical polymerization method in the presence of AIBN at 60 A degrees C. The structure of monomer and polymer was characterized by H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy techniques. The glass transition temperature and average-molecular weights of poly(NOPMA) were measured using differential scanning calorimetry and gel permeation chromatography, respectively. The thermal degradation behavior of poly(NOPMA) has been investigated by FT-IR studies of the partially degraded polymer and thermogravimetry. The cold ring fractions (CRFs) were collected at two different temperatures, initially fraction-1 (CRF1) is from room temperature to 320 A degrees C, and the other fraction-2 (CRF2) is from 320 to 500 A degrees C. The volatile products of the degradation were trapped at -195 A degrees C (in liquid nitrogen). All the fractions were characterized by FT-IR, H-1 and C-13-NMR spectroscopic techniques, and the cold ring fractions (CRFs) were also characterized by GC-MS. For the degradation of polymer, the major compound between products of CRFs is alpha-naphthol. The GC-MS, FT-IR and NMR data showed that depolymerization corresponding to monomer was not prominent below 320 A degrees C in the thermal degradation of poly(NOPMA). The mode of thermal degradation containing formation of the major products was identified. The dielectric permittivity (epsilon'), the loss factor (epsilon aEuro(3)) and conductivity (sigma(ac)) were measured using a dielectric analyzer in the frequency range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz.

    An Epidemiological Examination of Suicides That Have Occurred in Tunceli During 2005-2015

    Günderci, Azad; Karatay, Gulnaz; Gökçe, Seher; Güler, Burcu

    Objective: The study aims to investigate the phenomena in suicides and attempted suicides that have occurred in Tunceli during 2005-2015, with respect to certain characteristics. Method: The files for 435 suicides and attempted suicide incidents in total, which have been recorded in Tunceli during 2005-2015, have been examined in this paper. Results: The suicide incidents have been determined most frequently among individuals under 24 years of age. In the evaluation of the causes for suicide, unknown reasons (51.5%) have been followed by family problems (21.1%) and psychiatric disorders (18.2%). Drug intoxications, use of stabbing instruments and hanging methods have taken the top three ranks among the suicide methods. 91.3% of the incidents consisted of suicide attempts and 8.7% completed suicides. While the ratio of completed suicides has been determined to be meaningfully higher in males (7.1%), the ratio of attempted suicides has been determined to be higher in females (95.6%) (p<0.05). Furthermore, it has been determined that the suicide incidents were observed more frequently during the spring and summer seasons and more in urban zone. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that the causes of almost half of the suicide incidents in Tunceli are not known. The most important risk factors for suicide have been identified as young age, male gender, unemployment, urban life, impaired mental health and in-family problems. Further comprehensive studies are recommended as aimed to assess the suicide incidents in Tunceli and take protective measures for the risk factors.
