Kayim, M.; Can, E.; Güner, Y.
Lordosis, which is one of the skeletal deformations, was frequently encountered in the culture of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L. 1758) and it affects the biological performance and marketing image of the fish negatively. Thus it causes big economic losses. In larger natural environments, this abnormality in wild-caught individual is rare, whereas the case is the other way round in hatchery-reared sea bass. This problem can be caused by swim bladder malformations, environmental conditions, bacterial factors, water flow rate and swimming activity. However, many researchers reported that all of these factors cause these malformations in different regions of the skeletal system, commonly known as V-shaped curvatures. But in this study, it is not aimed to investigate the possible causes of the observed abnormalities. We focused on whether the abnormal individuals can be transformed into individuals with normal skeletal systems. In this study, a total number of 5636 juvenile individuals (0.09-1.93 g of live weight) were used. Lordosis rates were identified between the days 54 and 110 by randomly taking at least 30 samples from every group on a weekly basis, at triplicate. In this study, 100% of the individuals with this type of deformation were successfully transformed into individuals with the normal skeletal system in a large volume and rectangular ponds with semi-intensive rearing method.

Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yürekli, Muhittin; Yildirim, Numan
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the compensating effects of adrenomedullin on liver tissue after cold stress treatment. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups as control, adrenomedullin, cold stress and cold stress + adrenomedullin treated. Adrenomedullin was given by intraperitoneal injection (2 mg/g body weight) once a day for a week. For cold stress the rats were kept at 10 C for a week. Catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities were measured in liver tissue. Results: Catalase activity was decreased significantly as compared to control in adrenomedullin treated group (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in superoxide dismutase activity (p>0.05). Glutathione peroxidase activity was increased in adrenomedullin treated group but this was statistically insignificant (p>0.05). All enzyme activities were decreased by cold stress (p<0.05). In Adrenomedullin+cold stress group, only the glutathione peroxidase activity was significantly decreased (p<0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that cold stress induces decrease in catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities in rat liver. Adrenomedullin treatment corrected only glutathione peroxidase activity while decreasing catalase and superoxide dismutase activities further. The discrepancy may be explained by different responses of antioxidant systems to oxidative stress. It can be concluded that oxidative factors may display unexpected effects on the regulation of glutathione peroxidase activities in the adrenonmedullin case.

Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yurekli, Muhittin
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of chronic cold stress on adrenomedullin levels and tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme activities in some rat tissues. In this study, 12 female Sprague Dawley rats weighing 200 to 250 g were used. Rats were housed under diurnal lighting conditions (12-12 h) with free access to food and water. For this study, rats were divided into two groups, namely control group and cold stress treated group. Adrenomedullin levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Tyrosine hydroxylase enzyme activities was spectrometrically measured. Tyrosine hydroxylase activity was found to be increased significantly (p<0.05) in adrenal medulla, hypothalamus and heart tissues depending on cold stress treatment. Adrenomedullin levels were determined to be decreased in the cold stress treatment group. The differences of between control and cold stress treatment groups were significant (p<0.05). The results suggested that adrenomedullin may play a possible role in adaptation to stress. Exposure to cold increases the synthesis and release of catecholamines. Tyrosine hydroxylase is the rate limiting step in the biosynthesis of catecholamines for this reason cold stress increased tyrosine hyroxylase enzyme activities. Further studies are needed to reveal correlation between adrenomedullin, tyrosine hydroxylase and cold stress.

Yildirim, Numan; Asma, Dilek
The effect of different cadmium (Cd) concentrations (5 mu M and 500 mu M) on antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC 1.15.1.1), catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6), glutathione reductase (OR, EC 1.8.1.7) and glutathione S-transferase (GST, EC 2.5.1.18), and glutathione levels was studied in white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium (ME446), grown in liquid medium. Exposure to 500 mu M Cd resulted in significant induction of SOD actvity. Exposure to high (500 mu M) and low concentration (5 mu M) led to a clear induction of CAT activity with respect to control group. Exposure to 5 mu M Cd increased GR activity. GST activity was induced but GSH level reduced by exposure to 5 mu M Cd.

In this study, the species Chaetoceros gracilis was isolated from two different ecosystems (sea-lagoon) in the Bay of Izmir with very different physico-chemical environmental parameters. With the batch culture experiments carried out using the small diatom C. gracilis, it is aimed to determine the physiological properties of this species and also to form a basis for model studies by parameterizing its exponential growth rates, its nutrient limiting growth rates and the Michealis-Menten curves that indicate its dependence on nutrients. The fact that it is spread in a wide variety of areas from oligotrophic regions to eutrophic regions shows that this species environmental adaptation is quite interesting.

Pala, Murat; Yuksel, Fahrettin
This study was conducted in Keban dam lake Cemisgezek region during 2000-2001 fishing season. In the study, the effect of mesh size on catching efficiency was analyzed. For this reason, a total length of 800 m gillnet was used, particularly two monofilament gillnets with 50, 60, 70 and 90 mm mesh size, each being 100 m long. During the research, Cyprinus carpio and Squalius cephalus was indicated with own species names, which are caught on 22 hunting attempts. Barbus esocinus, Barbus capito pectoralis and Barbus mystaceus species regarded as Barbus sp., Capoeta trutta and Capoeta umbla species regarded as Capoeta sp. The most frequently caught species in the research were Capoeta sp. on 50 and 70 mm mesh sizes, Barbus sp. on 60 mm mesh size and Cyprinus carpi on 90 mm mesh size. The species that is least frequently fished on all gillnets was Squalius cephalus. When the catch per unit effort was analyzed taking into account all species, it was observed that with 83.1 g m(-1) catch per unit effort, 60 mm gillnet was more efficient than all other gillnets. This gillnet was followed by 79.9, 41.0 and 31.8 g m(-1) catch per unit efforts for 50, 70 and 90 mm mesh sizes, respectively. In conclusion, it has been found out that in the study region, gillnets with 50 and 60 mm mesh sizes are more effective than gillnets with 70 and 90 mm mesh sizes.

Yildirim, N. C.; Yurekli, M.
P>Stress known to stimulate sympathetic activity, as well as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA), produces a significant increase in adrenomedullin (AdM) levels, suggesting a regulatory or protective role for AdM in countering HPA activation that follows a variety of stressors. Stressors can modulate the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. Interleukin (IL)-6 is a potent activator of the HPA and appears to play a pathogenic role in conditions related to stress. In the present study, we investigated the administration of AdM on IL-6 levels in cold exposed rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups as control, adrenomedullin treatment, cold stress and cold stress+adrenomedullin-treated groups. In the adrenomedullin-treated group, animals received intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of adrenomedullin (2000 ng/kg body weight) once a day for a week. For the cold stress exposure the rats were kept in separate cages at 10 degrees C for a week. Control group rats were kept in laboratory conditions. The concentration of IL-6 was determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. When compared to control, IL-6 levels increased significantly in the cold stress- and adrenomedullin-treated groups (P < 0 center dot 05). Administration of AdM in addition to cold stress decreased IL-6 levels in lung and liver, but increased in brain and heart when compared to control (P < 0 center dot 05). The results suggest that cold stress may induce increase of rat proinflammatory cytokine IL-6 and adrenomedullin may play a regulatory or protective role for cold stress.

Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yurekli, Muhittin
Background: Many endogenous peptides play important regulatory roles in angiogenesis by modulating endothelial cell behavior. Adrenomedullin (AdM) is one of such factors. Angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are indistinguishable. Exposure to cold environment stimulates capillary angiogenesis. Objectives: Examine the effect of the bioactive peptide AdM on VEGF levels in rat liver, lung, brain, and heart tissues after cold stress treatment. Methods: Male wistar rats were divided into four groups as control, AdM treatment, cold stress and AdM+cold stress treated groups. In AdM-treated group, animals received intraperitoneal injection of AdM (2000 ng/kg body weight) once a day during a week. For the cold stress exposure, the rats were kept in separate cages at 10 degrees C for a week. Results: The administration of AdM increased VEGF levels in all tissues in cold exposed rats. Conclusion: AdM may be a major regulatory factor in angiogenesis by modulating VEGF levels that is closely associated with cold exposure-related metabolic stimulation.

The effect of ovulation stimulators (Ovopel and carp pituitary extract) on spawning of scaly carp females were investigated. Following application of Ovopel, eggs were obtained from higher percentage of females than CPE treatment (92.5 and 75.0%, respectively. In the case of Ovopel stimulator, female weights were significantly correlated with living embryo (r = 0.576, p<0.01) and hatching rates (r = 0.684, p<0.01). Also interaction between egg weights and fertilization rates (r = 0.603, p<0.01) and between hatching and living embryo rates (r = 0.679, p<0.01) were determined significant. On the other hand, egg weights were negatively correlated (r = -0.368, p<0.01) with living embryo rates. For the CPE stimulator, egg weights were significantly correlated with fertilization (r = 0.662, p<0.01), living embryo (r = 0.390, p<0.05) and hatching rates (r = 0.443, p<0.01). Also hatching were significatly correlated with fertilization (r = 0.665, p<0.01) and living embryo rates (r = 0.903, p<0.01). In addition, fertilization and living embryo rates significantly correlated (r = 0.615, p<0.01) with each other.

Pb, Cd and Cu concentrations in leaves of Nerium oleander L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. plants collected from industrial areas in Gaziantep-Turkey were examined for biomonitoring of atmospheric pollution using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The Pb levels in the leaves of Nerium oleander L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. collected at a distance of 50 m from the battery plant were observed to be 2820 and 1860 mg kg(-1), respectively. The Pb, Cd, and Cu concentrations in the soils studied were in the range of 17-602, 0.142-0.656 and 12-38 mg kg(-1), respectively. Lead concentrations described above for plant leaves were found to be about 2000-fold higher than those in the same plants collected from the control area (1.0 mg Pb kg(-1) for both plant species). Similarly, Cd levels in Robinia pseudoacacia L. collected from polluted area were observed to be about 40 times higher than those from control area. Consequently, it is observed that the leaves of Neriurn oleander L. can be used for biomonitoring of Pb, and Robinia pseudoacacia L. for biomonitoring of both Pb and Cd pollution.

The effect of the duration of simulated transportation on blood SOD (Superoxide Dismutase), GSH-Px (Glutathione Peroxidase), AST (Aspartate Transaminase), ALT (Alanine Transaminase), GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase), LDH (Lactic Dehydrogenase) enzyme levels and NO (Nitric Oxide) and MDA (Malondialdehyde) product levels was investigated in Japanese quails. Simulated transportation was carried out with a road simulator which was calibrated for Turkish roads conditions. Animals were loaded into well ventilated carrier boxes and carried at 2 and 5 h on the simulator. Blood samples were collected from 10-weeks-old Japanese Quails just after transportation. A significant (p<0.05) increase in all measured plasma parameters (except GGT) at 5 h transportation was observed. However, all of the plasma parameters have not shown a significant increase at 2 h transportation. This transportation duration might be the evidence of the time duration in still safe zone for Japanese Quails for that condition.

The aim of this study was to explore associations between transformational leadership and limitedness schemas of university students. Data were collected from 66 male (34.2%) and 127 females (65.8%), a total of 193 university students. The minimum age was 17 and the maximum age was 23. The mean age of the sample was 19.62 years with a standard deviation of 1.21. The results reveal that females have higher scores than males with regard to transformational leadership characteristics. Comparison of the differences between male and female subjects in terms of limitedness orientation showed that males reported higher scores than females on limitedness schemas. In addition, limitedness about relations and limitedness about the world were significantly associated with transactional leadership and a laissez-faire philosophy, but connections of dysfunctional limitedness schemas with transformational leadership were not significant.

Eristi, Hueseyin; Uçar, Ayseguel; Demir, Yakup
This paper presents a new approach for the classification of the power system disturbances using support vector machines (SVMs). The proposed approach is carried out at three serial stages. Firstly, the features to be form the SVM classifier are obtained by using the wavelet transform and a few different feature extraction techniques. Secondly, the features exposing the best classification accuracy of these features are selected by a feature selection technique called as sequential forward selection. Thirdly, the best appropriate input vector for SVM classifier is rummaged. The input vector is started with the first best feature and incrementally added the chosen features. After the addition of each feature, the performance of the SVM is evaluated. The kernel and penalty parameters of the SVM are determined by cross-validation. The parameter set that gives the smallest misclassification error is retained. Finally, both the noisy and noiseless signals are applied to the classifier given above stages. Experimental results indicate that the proposed classifier is robust and has more high classification accuracy with regard to the other approaches in the literature for this problem.

This paper presents a new approach for automatic classification of power quality events, which is based on the wavelet transform and support vector machines. In the proposed approach, an effective single feature vector representing three phase event signals is extracted after signals are applied normalization and segmentation process. The kernel and penalty parameters of the support vector machine (SVM) are determined by cross-validation. The parameter set that gives the smallest misclassification error is retained. ATP/EMTP model for six types of power system events, namely phase-to-ground fault, phase-to-phase fault, three-phase fault, load switching, capacitor switching and transformer energizing, are constructed. Both the noisy and noiseless event signals are applied to the proposed algorithm. Obtained results indicate that the proposed automatic event classification algorithm is robust and has ability to distinguish different power quality event classes easily. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
