- MakaleYalnız künye2020Scopus SJRQ4Biochemical responses of some (Helianthus annuus L.) cultivars to the interaction effects of biodegradable polymer and salt stress
Akbulut, Gulcin Beker; Torgut, Gulben
Salt stress is one of the most important environmental factor limiting plant growth and causing serious agricultural problems in the world. Biodegradable poly(ethylene oxide)-co-(ε-caprolactone) poly(EO-co-ε-CL) copolymer synthesized by ring-opening polymerization (ROP) have been used to reduce this negative effect. For the characterization of this copolymer, the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) techniques were used. To investigate the impact of copolymer and salt (200 mM NaCl) singly and in combination, on two different sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L. cv. 'Düet' and Helianthus annuus L. cv. 'Meteor') a series of experiments were established. In the seedlings grown for 21 days, differences in some metabolic parameters such as chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), chlorophyll-b (Chl-b), carotenoids (Car), total chlorophyll (Chl), total carbohydrate content, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were examined. According to the result of our study, after the application of NaCl and poly(EO-co-ε-CL), significant changes were observed in the studied biochemical parameters. It was observed that the copolymer in both species had a healing effect against salt stress. Application of 200 mM NaCl caused an increase in MDA of both genotype, particularly in 'Meteor'. Higher Chl-a, Chl-b, total Chl, and Car contents were observed in 'Meteor' as compared to that in 'Düet' under saline conditions. Total carbohydrate content decreased with increasing salt stress in both cultivars.

Yüksel, Fahrettin; Demirol, Ferhat; Gunduz, Fatih; Coban, Mehmet Zulfu
In this study, it was aimed to determine the selectivity properties of the gillnets used for Shabbout (Arabibarbus grypus Heckel, 1843) in Keban Dam Lake, Turkey. Experiments were carried out at 3 different stations of the dam lake using 5 monofilament gillnets with 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 mm nominal mesh size (bar length). A total of 510 target species between 38 and 79.2 cm in total length were caught in 47 catching trials. The select method was used to estimate the selectivity parameters. When the model deviations were compared, the lowest deviation (183.6104) was observed to be given by the lognor-mal model. According to this model, optimum catch lengths of nets which have 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 mm mesh size determined as 40.12, 50.15, 60.18, 70.21, 80.24 cm and their spread values 3.03, 3.79, 4.55, 5.30, 6.06 cm, respectively. The differences between the length frequencies of the fish caught by all nets were found to be significant according to the Kolmo-gorav-Smirnov test. Minimum catch size of Shabbout is notified as 45 cm in Turkey. According to results of this study, gillnets with 50 mm and above mesh size do not cause an overfishing on Shabbout stocks.

Isik, Erdem; Inalli, Mustafa
In Ihis study, two different structures are considered for the exterior walls of buildings. The first structure is sandwich wall structure that consists of 2 cm interior plaster, 2 picces 13.5 cm horizontally perforated brick with insulation material between and 3 cm exterior plaster. The second one is externally insulated wall consisting of 2 cm inner plaster, 20 cm horizontally perforated brick, insulation and 3 cm outer plaster. The artificial neural network is applied to find temperature, then the optimum insulation thickness is obtained for predetermined function using heating degree-day values. For economic analysis, the calculations arc made on two different wall types. The relationship between insulation thicknesses and annual gain is calculatcd for three types of fuel (coal, natural gas, fuel-oil) in four different provinces (Adana, Gaziantcp, Ankara, Mus) in different degree-day regions. It has been found that the return of investment period has dccrcased with the increase of the HDD number and the insulation thickness has increased with the increase of the HDD number. Among the four provinces, the longest return of investment period is found for Adana province.

Yukse, Fahrettin; Aydin, Rahmi; Serdar, Osman; Pala, Avsegul
This study determined the effect of a pesticide with malathion as active substance on Gammams pulex in terms of oxidative stress and antioxidant status. Firstly, 96-hours LC50 value of malathion on G. pulex was determined. Then, the organisms were exposed to determined sublethal concentrations (at the rate of 1/40, 1/20 and 1/10 LC50 value) of malathion for 24 and 96 hours. Thiobarbituric Acid Rcactive Substances (TBARS), rcduccd glutathione (GSH) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme activities in the control group and samples that were exposed to malathion for 24 and 96 hours were determined. The results showed that TBARS level significantly increased in G. pulex that was exposed to malathion for 24 and 96 hours compared to the control group (p <0.05). However, GSH level, SOD, CAT and GPx activities dccrcascd (p <0.05). Malathion exposure caused oxidative stress in G. pulex. These results revealed that MDA, GSH levels, SOD, CAT and CiPx activities can be used as effective biomarkcrs in G. pulex.

Narrow-clawed crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz, 1823) is native species to Turkey and the most important shellfish because of its commercial value and ecological role in ecosystem. The knowledge on bio-ecological features of narrow-clawed crayfish is limited. In this study, total length (TL), carapace length (CL), carapace width (CW), abdomen length (AL), abdomen width (AW), chela length (ChL) and chela width (ChW) of narrow-clawed crayfish were compared in two different habitats (Egirdir Lake and Keban Dam Lake). According to linear regression analysis, the highest relation was between TL and AL (R2=0.987) of the female in Egirdir Lake and the weakest relationship was between AW and ChL (R2=0.084) in Keban Dam Lake. Overall, the biometric features of A. leptodactylus populations in Egirdir Lake and Keban Dam Lake were different and these differences were significant in mid-length groups. These findings clearly demonstrated the impact of commercial catching on the length distribution of the crayfish stocks.

Erman, Fazilet; Kaya, Tubay; Aydin, Sevinc; Erman, Orhan; Yilmaz, Okkes
Type I diabetes is known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and the most important factor playing role in its formation is the genetic predispo- sition. Physalis peruviana L. (Goldenberry) is a plant, which has strong antioxidant properties, from Solanaceae family and, because of its fructose con- tent, plays regulatory role in blood glucose level of diabetics. In this study, it has been investigated the effects of goldenberry on the malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), total protein, vitamins A, D, E, and K, and cholesterol levels which are the indicators of antioxidant defense and the oxidative damages in serum, muscle, kidney, liver and brain tissues of the rats, on which type I diabetes was induced by STZ. According to the obtained results, among the rats with STZ-induced type I diabetes, it was ob- served that the level of glutathione (GSH) increased and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) decreased in all of the tissues of rats given goldenberry extract, while significant decreases were determined in the levels of vitamins K-1, K-2, D-2 and D-3 in all of tissues (except serum), and there were also decreases in the level of α-tocopherol and cholesterol in tis- sues of muscle, liver and kidney. In this study, it was shown that the goldenberry decreased the destructive effects of type-I diabetes by decreasing the serum glucose and lipid peroxida- tion and increasing the level of glutathione. It is believed that the obtained results would be used in fol- low-up of diabetic patients and in early diagnosis of the disease in future.

Kizak, Volkan; Kapaligoz, Serdar
Goldfish (Carassius auratus) growth was studied comparatively in microgreen aquaponic (APS) and sump filter systems (SFS), and the ef fects of these two different filter systems on water quality parameters were investigated. Arugula (Eruca vesicaria) was used in APS and produced as microgreens. NH3-N, NO2-N, NO3-N, POj and NH4 were measured at specific periods for 60 days. No statistical differences were found between both systems in terms of food conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR), survival and mean body weight of goldfish. In the beginning of the experi-ment, water pH level was around 8.5 while trend towards declining at the end of period. Nitrification process was successful in both systems, and declin ing pH towards from basic medium to approaching neutral levels made positive contribution to perfor mance of nitrifying bacteria. Although there was a significant decrease in the level of NH4, the level of NO3-N increased continously after the 30,h day in APS. According to these results, arugula micro-greens used mostly NH4 instead of NO3-N in higher pH level. Goldfish-arugula microgreen aquaponic system is similar with SFS in terms of keeping water quality in optimal conditions and any adverse effect on goldfish growth and welfare was not ob served in both systems. Although in high pH, it was also seen that arugula seedlings can be produced efficiently as microgreens.
AtıfScopus7İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2019Scopus SJRQ4Evaluation of a new computer method (ANNs) and traditional methods (LWRS and VBGF) in the calculation of some growth parameters of two cyprinid species
Ozcan, Ebru Ifakat; Serdar, Osman
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are a very reliable computer program used in many areas such as growth parameters. The aim of this study to compare the growth estimates of tigris scraper (Capoeta umbla (Heckel, 1843)) and kura barbel (Barbus lacerta (Heckel, 1843) captured from Karasu River (East Anatolia, Turkey) between 2014 and 2016. The age groups were 0-9 for C. umbla and 0-8 for B. lacerta. The estimated parameters of von Bertalanffy growth equations were as L' =51.96 cm, W' 804.16 g, k=0.092 year-1, t0=-1.763 year for C. umbla and L' 32.23 FP, W' 435.87 J, k 0.127\HDU-1, t0-2.489 for B. lacerta. The growth performance index (Y) value was comput-ed as 2.395 for C. umbla and 2.120 for B. lacerta. The length and weight relationships for two fish species were as follows: W=0.0092L3.05 (R²=0.98) and W=0.0095L3.07 (R2=0.98). The growth of these two cyprinid species were isometric growth. A ANNs model is a interdepented system containing many neurons. There are three different layers in a neural network (input, hidden and output layers). Data enters (length/weight, age, sex) at the inputs and passes along the network, by layer, till it reach-es at the outputs (weight/length). MATLAB Ver R2016a (Neural Network Toolbox) was used for ANNs estimatings. MAPE (%) equation was used to compare ANNs and other methods. According to the comparison of the results obtained with MAPE (%), ANNs provide better results than the LWRs and VBGF. The results of this study could give useful insight that ANNs can be evaluated as an alternative for growth prediction.
