Bulut, Hasan; Sulaiman, Tukur Abdulkadir; Erdogan, Fevzi; Mehmet Baskonus, Haci
With the aid of the Wolfram Mathematica software, the powerful sine-Gordon expansion method is used in constructing some new solutions to the two well-known nonlinear models, namely, the simplified modified Camassa-Holm and symmetric regularized long-wave equations. We obtain some novel complex, trigonometric and hyperbolic function solutions to these two equations. We also plot the three-dimensional and two-dimensional graphics for each solutions obtained using the same programming code in Wolfram Mathematica software. Finally, we submit a comprehensive conclusions.

Yucesan, Melih; Gul, Muhammet; Celik, Erkan
Most organizations in manufacturing environments aim to increase their profits and reduce costs against competitive and rapidly changing market conditions. Accuracy of sales forecasting is undoubtedly a successful way to reach the aforementioned goals. At the same time, this enables executives to improve customer satisfaction, reduce lost sales and plan production efficiently. As a growing industry in Turkey, furniture manufacturing has an increased product demand in relation to the recent growth in construction and related industries, increase in urban population and increase in person-level income. Therefore, accurate sales forecasting systems in this industry are more focused on the special and calendar factors, such as consumer confidence index, producer price index, time of the year and number of vacation days. In this paper, an artificial neural network (ANN) based forecasting model is proposed by using MATLAB for processing total monthly sales data of a corporate furniture manufacturer located in the Black Sea region of Turkey. The method is a component of ANN, namely Bayesian regularization. The proposed model is applied to monthly sales figures of a corporate furniture manufacturing company. In conclusion, the results of performance measures show that using the ANN model based on Bayesian rules training is an applicable choice for forecasting of monthly sales of the observed furniture factory.

Kismet, Yilmaz
In this study, the changes observed in the mechanical properties of standard test specimens that were produced with powder coating reinforced polyolefin (polyethylene and polypropylene) due to gamma radiation were examined. Matrix material of these specimens included low density polyethylene and polypropylene and 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% electrostatic powder coating waste by weight, and the samples were exposed to 44 kGry gamma-radiation for twenty four hours. Mechanical tests applied to the specimens after radiation demonstrated that the physical bonding mechanism between matrix material and filler material was reinforced. In the mechanical tests, tensile strength, three-point bending strength, and Izod impact strength of the samples were investigated and the results were compared to the results obtained in the mechanical tests when they were not radiated. Thus, the effects of gamma radiation on the mechanical properties of the filler material, and the electrostatic powder coating reinforced polyethylene and polypropylene were determined. Furthermore, section images of the radiated samples were taken with a scanning electron microscope and compared to the section images of irradiated samples to observe the physical bonding mechanism.

Serin, Faruk; Erturkler, Metin; Gul, Mehmet
Background and objective Nuclei segmentation is a common process for quantitative analysis of histopathological images. However, this process generally results in overlapping of nuclei due to the nature of images, the sample preparation and staining, and image acquisition processes as well as insufficiency of 2D histopathological images to represent 3D characteristics of tissues. We present a novel algorithm to split overlapped nuclei. Methods The histopathological images are initially segmented by K-Means segmentation algorithm. Then, nuclei cluster are converted to binary image. The overlapping is detected by applying threshold area value to nuclei in the binary image. The splitting algorithm is applied to the overlapped nuclei. In first stage of splitting, circles are drawn on overlapped nuclei. The radius of the circles is calculated by using circle area formula, and each pixel's coordinates of overlapped nuclei are selected as center coordinates for each circle. The pixels in the circle that contains maximum number of intersected pixels in both the circle and the overlapped nuclei are removed from the overlapped nuclei, and the filled circle labeled as a nucleus. Results The algorithm has been tested on histopathological images of healthy and damaged kidney tissues and compared with the results provided by an expert and three related studies. The results demonstrated that the proposed splitting algorithm can segment the overlapping nuclei with accuracy of 84%. Conclusions The study presents a novel algorithm splitting the overlapped nuclei in histopathological images and provides more accurate cell counting in histopathological analysis. Furthermore, the proposed splitting algorithm has the potential to be used in different fields to split any overlapped circular patterns.

Ozbey, Ulku; Deger, Yeter; Yur, Fatmagul; Çambay, Zafer; Ozbeye, Gokben
Reactive oxygen species have been considered to play a significant part in the development of fluorosis, a critical public health issue in many parts of the world. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study, conducted on two groups of sheep, with and without fluorosis, was (i) to determine the effect of fluorosis on antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT), and on malondialdehyde (MDA); and (ii) to investigate the relationship between the SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px genotypes and the antioxidant enzyme levels. METHODS: The two groups of sheep were: (i) 24 Akkaraman sheep with fluorosis living in Dogubeyazit province of Agri and (ii) 20 Akkaraman sheep with no signs of fluorosis living in Van. The MDA level and the antioxidant enzyme activities were identified spectrophometrically. The genotype characteristics were determined by the PCR-RFLP method using DNA extracted from blood. RESULTS: Compared to the control sheep without fluorosis, we found in the fluorotic sheep: (i) an increase in plasma MDA levels and GSH-Px-1 activity (p<0.05), and (ii) a decrease in SOD and CAT activities (p<0.01). There were significant differences found in the genotype and allele frequencies in both groups (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Fluoride-induced oxidative stress affected the membrane structure resulting in elevated erythrocyte MDA levels and reduced enzyme activity of the enzymes SOD and CAT. According to our data, the gene polymorphisms show a tendency towards fluorosis for our local sheep population.

Ogedey, Aysenur; Tanyol, Mehtap
Leachate is the most difficult wastewater to be treated due to its complex content and high pollution release. For this reason, since it is not possible to be treated with a single process, a pre-treatment is needed. In the present study, a batch electrocoagulation reactor containing aluminum and iron electrodes was used to reduce chemical oxygen demand (COD) from landfill leachate (Tunceli, Turkey). Optimization of COD elimination was carried out with response surface methodology to describe the interaction effect of four main process independent parameters (current density, inter-electrode distance, pH and time of electrolysis). The optimum current density, inter-electrode distance, pH and time of electrolysis for maximum COD removal (43%) were found to be 19.42 mA/m2, 0.96 cm, 7.23 and 67.64 min, respectively. The results shown that the electrocoagulation process can be used as a pre-treatment step for leachate.

The wastewaters containing organic and inorganic pollutants after many industrial processes such as metal plating, mining, textile, alloy, battery and industrial chemicals, are often discharged to environment. Heavy metals among these pollutants have highly stable, toxic, non-degradable and carcinogenic characters. They affect not only ecological system, but also human health and many life forms. Therefore, these contaminants should be eliminated or reduced to allowable levels before releasing to environment. Most of heavy metals have toxic character even at low concentrations of about 0.1-0.3ppm. Treatment technologies such as filtration, ion exchange, precipitation, electrodeposition, reverse osmosis, sedimentation, and adsorption have been applied for removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Adsorption is one of the most common and widely applied methods to eliminate the metal ions from waste solutions because of its simplicity and cost effectiveness. Activated carbon, clay minerals, ion exchange resins and various agricultural residues can be used as adsorbent materials in this process [1-3].

Kucukgul, Altuğ; Kucukgul, Azime
Chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS, and found to contain the phenol (40.95 %) as major component. Results showed that Y. ruckeri (3 × 107cfu fish-1) infection caused the characteristic symptoms on rainbow trout (petechial hemorrhages on the surface of body and liver). Y. ruckeriinducedinhibitions of Cas-3, Cas-8, p53 and HSP-70. After the administration of thyme essential oil (10 mg kg-1 diet) to infected fish tissues, Cas-3, Cas-8, p53 and HSP-70 mRNAs were up-regulated by 9.31, 9.18, 9.58, and 6,1 fold change, respectively. According to the results of the study, the inhibitions seen all analyzed genes were due to Y. ruckeri infection. However, they were entirely increased by thyme treatment. Thus, targeting pro-apoptotic proteases by agents such as T. vulgaris could improve therapeutic options for infectious disease in fish.

Yonten, Vahap; Alp, Hevidar; Yildirim, Numan; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Ogedey, Aysenur
This study aims to explore the optimum conditions for P. eryngii var. ferulae in adsorption of sulfamethazine (SM) from synthetic solutions via reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD). The optimum conditions were optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM) developed by the application of the quadratic model associated with the central composite design. For this aim, RSM was employed to determine the effects of some parameters on this adsorption process by fungal biomass as an effective and available adsorbent. The investigated parameters were initial concentration of sulfamethazine (70–235 mg L−1), solution pH (3–7), adsorbent dosage (0.3–1.5 g), and contact time (5–25 min). The significant factors on each experimental design response were identified from the analysis of variance. The results of RSM analyzes revealed that optimum conditions of initial SM concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, and contact time for maximum COD removal (82%) were achieved as 400 mg L−1, 11, 1.46 g, and 15.4 min, respectively. The results showed that dead biomass of P. eryngii var. ferulae were an appropriate adsorbent for the removal of COD in the SM medium from synthetic solutions.

Korunur, Murat
In this work, under the assumption that the universe is locally rotationally symmetric (LRS) Bianchi type-II and filled with anisotropic dark uid (dark energy and dark radiation), we investigate whether the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) is still valid. We also consider another important condition for LRS Bianchi type-II spacetimes whereby the model expansion is proportional to the shear, which leads to B = An (where n is a constant and A and B are the metric potentials). Based on this, we derive a general circumstance for the GSLT and find that its validity depends on the anisotropies of both the dark uid and the metric potentials. We conclude that the GSLT still holds at all times even if these two anisotropic conditions are removed from the results.

Ergüven, Gökhan Önder
In this study, the biodegradation of ethalfluralin (C13H14F3N3O4), which is the most preferred herbicide in sunflower farming in Thrace region in Turkey, is investigated. Bacteria and fungi were isolated in soil samples obtained in Thrace region, and a mixed culture was prepared using equal volume of microorganism cultures. Five different apparatuses, including sterile agricultural soil were setup and ethalfluralin in 1,500 µg/L concentration was added to each apparatus, and they were watered for 6 weeks with sterilized tap water. Drained water was then collected, and the filtrates were measured for chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), total organic carbon (TOC) and ethalfluralin. Furthermore, pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration were measured. Study results demonstrated that the highest biodegradation was observed in the soil sample that contained 10 mL mixed microorganism culture and ethalfluralin. In this filtrate, ethalfluralin, COD, BOD5 and TOC removals were measured as 92%, 85%, 82% and 97% respectively. The DO level remained between 3.00 and 4.50 mg/L in the first 3 weeks for all cultures. After the third week, it increased to 5.8 mg/L in the 5 mL culture mixture and to 7.1 mg/L in the 2 mL culture mixture. pH results demonstrated, an increase during the first 3 weeks and pH values decreased for all culture mixture media due to the formation of carbonic acid.

Sabanci, Serdal; Icier, Filiz
Sour cherry juice having total soluble solids (TSS) of 19.2% was evaporated up to 65% TSS at vacuum (gauge pressure of 580 mm-Hg) by applying ohmic heating at three different voltage gradients (10–14 V/cm). Total process times were determined as 40, 55, 75, and 85 min for 14 V/cm, 12 V/cm, and 10 V/cm, and vacuum evaporation (VE), respectively. The change of moisture content during ohmic assisted vacuum evaporation and VE processes were investigated by seven different empirical models. The best fitting model was Midilli model for three different voltage gradients and VE. The electrical conductivity values at different voltage gradients varied between 0.41 and 1.13 S/m for different TSS contents. The changes of EC values were examined in detail for three different regions; heating up period, first evaporation period, and second evaporation period. EC increased until a critical % TSS content (32% TSS), then remained constant for certain time (until 45% TSS) depending on voltage gradient, and then it had tendency to decrease. Ohmic heat generation increased sharply during heating period, then decreased dramatically during evaporation periods. It is recommended that ohmic heating could be alternatively used as the heat source to shorten the process times of vacuum evaporation applied for concentration of fruit juices.

Can, Umit; Alatas, Bilal
New information technologies have led to the rapid and effective growth of social networks. The amount of data produced by social networks has increased the value of the big data concept, which is one of the popular current phenomena. The immediate or unpredictable effects of a wide array of economic activities on large masses and the reactions to them can be measured by using social media platforms and big data methods. Thus, it would be extremely beneficial to analyze the harmful environmental and social impacts that are caused by unsustainable business applications. As social networks and big data are popular realms currently, their efficient use would be an important factor in sustainable economic development. Accurate analysis of people's consumption habits and economic tendencies would provide significant advantages to companies. Moreover, unknown consumption factors that affect the economic preferences of individuals can be discovered and economic efficiency can be increased. This study shows that the numerous solution opportunities that are provided by social networks and big data have become significant tools in dynamic policy creation by companies and states, in solving problems related to women's rights, the environment, and health.

Ozkan, Gokturk M.; Firat, Erhan; Akilli, Huseyin
The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of attached permeable plates in suppressing nominally two-dimensional vortex shedding from a fixed cylinder. The permeable plate along the entire span of the cylinder was made of a chrome-nickel screen and was attached normal to the cylinder surface. The main parameters of the study are porosity of the permeable plate, β, and the plate angle of the cylinder-plate arrangement, θ, with respect to the freestream. Experiments were performed using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Flow Visualization Techniques. Additionally, drag force measurements were carried out in a wind tunnel to analyze the effects of permeable plates on drag coefficient of the circular cylinder. The results revealed that the use of a permeable plate successfully suppresses the vortex shedding downstream of the circular cylinder by reducing the velocity fluctuations in the wake, elongating the vortex formation region further downstream and attenuating the vortex shedding frequency. The porosity values of β=0.4 and 0.5 with plate angles in the range of 35°≤θ≤90° were found to be effective on suppressing the vortex shedding. Furthermore, both the drag coefficients of the cylinder-plate arrangement and the <TKE>maxwere reduced almost for all porosity ratios for θ<30°.

A growing number of cities are implementing bike-sharing programs to increase bicycle use. One of the key factors for the success of such programs is the location of bike stations in relation to potential demand. In this paper, potential locations of bike sharing stations in Gaziantep University campus are investigated to provide optimal utilization for users. To do so, first of all, 20 demand points and 20 potential bike stations are determined. Second, set covering mathematical model is handled to determine coverage capability of potential bike stations. Finally, P-center and P-median mathematical models are applied to set up potential stations and to assign demand points to the opened stations so that the total walking distance can be minimized. Computational experiments prove that our approach can find new potential bike stations which cover all demand points.

Bozkir, Hamza; Baysal, Taner
This study was evaluated the use of a novel concentration technique, a vacuum microwave evaporator (VME) in the production of clear apple juice concentrate and the investigation of its effects on the quality characteristics of the juice. The optimum processing conditions of the VME for apple juice concentrate were determined using response surface methodology. The apple juice concentrate was produced by VME, a rising film evaporator (RFE), and a rotary evaporator (RE) at the optimum process conditions. The results show that the evaporation rate of VME was three times higher than that of RE and was two times higher than that of RFE. VME produced minimum changes in the color of the apple juices (L*, a*, b*, ΔE, Hue°, and ΔC) compared to RE and RFE. VME was also found the best group that preserved the quality characteristics of apple juices (TTA, NEBI, and TPC) compared with conventional evaporation methods. Practical applications: Microwave heating provides volumetric heating of food. The concentration carried out quickly with the combined system, microwave and vacuum, which allows mass and energy transfer quickly at a short time. The physicochemical, and biochemical properties of the concentrated apple juices processed using VME were found to be better than those of the juices produced using the other conventional methods. The obtained data can be useful for optimization of fruit juice concentrate production in industrial concentration processes.
