This study was made to investigate the effects of intramuscular administrations of dexamethasone on seminal plasma nitric oxide levels and arginase activity, and some spermatological parameters in rams. Ten Akkaraman rams weighing 50–60 kg and 2 years old were used as material in this study. The study was performed during the breeding season (September–November) for rams. The semen was collected by artificial vagina at 1st, 4th, 24th, 48th, 72nd and 96th hours for control group before dexamethasone administration. For treatment group, 0.25 mg/kg dexamethasone was administered and semen was collected at the time points described for control group. Spermatological characteristics of semen samples (semen volume, pH, sperm motility, density and abnormal sperm rate), seminal plasma arginase enzyme activities and nitric oxide levels were determined. It was determined that the administration of dexamethasone was detected to decrease seminal plasma arginase activity (p <.05 and.01) and nitric oxide level (p <.05), semen volume (p <.05 and.01), mass activity (p <.05 and.01), sperm density (p <.05) and sperm motility (p <.05 and.01), and to increase abnormal sperm rate (p <.05 and.01). In conclusion, dexamethasone is not recommended to be used during the breeding season as it damages the sperm quality of the rams.

Cevik, Mutlu; Icier, Filiz
Frozen minced meat samples having fat contents of 2%, 10% and 18% were thawed using different methods (refrigeration thawing at ambient temperature of +4 ℃, under running cold water (+4 ℃) thawing, ohmic thawing for 10, 13 and 16 V/cm). Viscoelastic properties were determined by using rheological tests (oscillation and creep/recovery tests). Storage modulus, loss modulus, complex modulus, loss tangent, dynamic viscosity and complex viscosity values of minced meat samples increased as fat content increased. As frequency value increased, the modulus values of meat samples increased but dynamic and complex viscosity values of the samples decreased. The minced meat samples thawed by different methods had recoverable compliance values. The compliance values of meat samples during creep region can be well characterized by Burgers model. Ohmic thawing can be used as an alternative thawing method since it resulted in similar rheological properties of minced meat samples compared to refrigeration thawing at ambient temperature of +4 ℃ and under running cold water (+4℃) thawing.

Cimen, Isil Canan Cicek; Danabas, Durali; Ates, Mehmet
In this study, nanotoxicity tests were made by exposure of Artemia salina to copper (Cu 60–80 nm) and copper oxide (CuO 40 nm) nanoparticles (NPs) at different concentrations (0.2, 1, 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg/l) during some exposure duration. Characterization of Cu and CuO NPs were performed using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Zeta Potential, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transformation Infrared (FT-IR) analyzes. In organisms, the accumulation and elimination rates of NPs was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis and the oxidative stress effects on A. salina were determined by Glutathione (GSH) and Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) analysis methods. Both NPs were found to differ in accumulation and elimination rates at each application time and in parallel with the increase in concentration. In each group, it was determined that ion release increased with application time. The results showed that the accumulation rates in Cu NPs had a tendency to increase at 48 h and to decrease at 72 h in concentrations of 0, 2 and 1 mg/l, respectively. And in the all other concentrations have been seen an increasing trend within the time. In the CuO NPs (40 nm), accumulation rates were a decrease trend at 48th hour and an increase trend at 72nd hour except 10 mg/l concentration. In the 10 mg/l group was an increase trend with the application period. Cu NP, TBARS value increased with increasing concentrations and the highest increase was observed at 24 h of 5 ppm group. The groups showed a tendency to increase-decrease-increase-decrease in TBARS levels in terms of elapsed time (24th, 48th, 72nd hour and elimination) (5 ppm and 10 ppm groups tended to decrease in TBARS level at 72nd hour). TBARS increased with increasing concentration ratios in CuO NPs (40 nm).

This study aimed to investigate the properties of Salacia chinensis (Celastraceae, SC) and its molecular mechanism in the type 2 diabetic rats. Forty-two Wistar rats were divided into six groups (n = 7): control, SC (100 mg/kg, per os), high-fat diet (HFD), HFD + SC (100 mg/kg), HFD + streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg, i.p.), and HFD + STZ+SC. SC decreased serum glucose, insulin, triglycerides, free fatty acid, and malondialdehyde levels, but increased serum total antioxidant capacity (0.33 ± 0.02 versus. 0.79 ± 0.03), compared with the untreated group (p <.001). Additionally, SC elevated the expression of glucose-regulated proteins GLUT2, PPAR-ɣ, p-IRS, and Nrf2, but downregulated NF-κB in the liver and kidney (p <.001). In conclusion, SC could improve insulin resistance by modulation of glucose-regulated proteins and transcription factors in diabetic rats. Practical applications: Present data has contributed to the current ethnomedicinal benefits of SC, through which the SC intake regulated the carbohydrate metabolism and increased the antioxidant capacity. The balance of transcription factors can mediate these efficacies partially and various key proteins involved in energy metabolism, along with oxidative stress and insulin sensitivity.

In this work, structural, electrochemical and optical properties of the flower-like Co3O4, NiO and CuO nanostructures were investigated. Co3O4, NiO and CuO nanoflowers were prepared using hydrothermal method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used in the confirmation of the chemical composition of the nanostructures. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used in the analysis of crystal structures that peaks observed in the XRD analysis confirms good crystallinity of the nanoflowers. Scanning electron microscopy analysis was used to illustrate the flower-like structure of the nanostructures. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used in the assessment of the electrochemical properties. It was seen that flower-like Co3O4, NiO and CuO nanostructures have enhanced electrochemical properties. Using CV results, redox reaction processes of the Co3O4, NiO and CuO nanoflowers were determined. Diffusion constants were determined and NiO nanoflowers found to have the highest diffusion constant among those. Nyquist and Bode diagrams were evaluated. Energy band gaps of Co3O4, NiO, CuO nanoflowers were calculated which were found to be 2.10 eV, 2.25 eV and 3.71 eV, respectively.

In this study, the microstructure of a new alloy is examined which is created by adding boron oxide (B2O3), boric acid (H3BO3) and kolamanit (Ca2B6O11·5H2O) in certain proportions to the white metals (Sn–Sb–Cu) used in the carrier bearing dies of vertical Francis turbines in hydroelectric power plants. The Babbitt materials were coated with electric arc spray coating method before. Also it is examined that whether the coating material produced as a new alloy is appropriate for applying to die surface. Utility of the new white metal material in carrier bearing dies in hydroelectric power plants has been investigated based on the metallographic structure and wear of the new alloy. While some of the boron elements added to the Babbitt metal have positive results in terms of metallographic and abrasion values, some of the boron elements have negative effects.

Çil, Zeynel Abidin; Mete, Suleyman; Serin, Faruk
The use of robots is significantly increasing day by day in manufacturing systems, and especially improving the efficiency of the lines. Robots can be used to complete disassembly tasks, and each of the robots can need different operation times to perform the tasks. In this paper, the balancing of the robotic disassembly line problem has been studied to develop efficient solution techniques. Firstly, a mixed-integer linear mathematical model is proposed to determine and solve the problem optimally. A case study from literature is addressed to assess and show the efficiency and effectiveness of the model to minimize cycle time. Secondly, a heuristic algorithm based on ant colony optimization is also proposed to discover a solution for especially the large-size test problems due to the complexity of the problem. The performance of the proposed heuristic algorithm is verified and compared with the different heuristic on data sets. The computational results indicate that the proposed mathematical model and the algorithms are promising for the small and large-size test problems, respectively. Finally, it should be stated that robots have great potential to use in the area of disassembly line and useful solutions provide according to test results.

Sevindik, Emre; Aydin, Sinem; Paksoy, Mehmet Yavuz; Sokmen, Bahar Bilgin
The genus Inula belongs to family Asteraceae and it is medicinally important because it possesses cytotoxic, anticancer, hepatoprotective, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this research was to explore antioxidant and anti-urease activities of fifteen Inula taxa in Turkey. Ethanol extracts of Inula taxa were obtained by Soxhlet extraction. Antioxidant activity was determined through total antioxidant activity, total phenolic content and copper reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) analyses. The highest total phenolic content and total antioxidant capacity were found in I. orientalis (158.54±0.002 µg GAE/mL) and I. macrocephala (189.16±0.002 µg AAE/mL). CUPRAC activity increases with the increasing concentration of the extracts and the standard. Moreover, all the tested plants exhibited better anti-urease activity than standard thiourea except for I. anatolica and I. thapsoides subsp. thapsoides. Results obtained from this study demonstrate that Inula species might be utilized as a probable natural source in the pharmaceutical and food industries but further and more specific studies are needed to determine active antioxidative and anti-urease compounds in the extracts.

Tanaydın, Mehmet Kayra; Demirkıran, Nizamettin
In the present work, the extraction kinetics of copper using the resulting actual leach solution obtained from the leaching of malachite ore in perchloric acid solutions and the stripping kinetics of copper from the loaded organic phase were examined. The organic phase was prepared by using Acorga M5640 and kerosene. In the extraction process, the effects of the initial pH of aqueous solution, initial concentration of copper, extractant concentration, temperature, and stirring speed on the extraction rate were investigated. In the stripping process, the effects of the concentration of perchloric acid, temperature, stirring speed, and extractant concentration on the stripping rate were examined. It was determined that the extraction rate increased with increasing the initial pH of aqueous solution, stirring speed, extractant concentration and temperature, and with decreasing the initial concentration of copper ions. In the stripping process, it was observed that the stripping rate increased with increasing the concentration of perchloric acid, temperature and stirring speed, and with decreasing the extractant concentration. It was determined that both the solvent extraction and stripping processes could be described by the first order pseudo homogenous reaction model. The activation energy for the extraction and stripping processes was calculated to be 50.04 kJ/mol and 32.42 kJ/mol, respectively.

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.

In this study, fast neutron removal cross-section and γ-ray shielding capabilities in terms of mass attenuation coefficient (μm), transmission fractions (T), effective atomic numbers (Zeff), half-value layer (HVL) and exposure build-up factors (EBF) of the 64 TeO 2+ 15 ZnO + (20 - x) CdO + xBaO + 1 V 2O 5 (x= 0 , 5 , 10 , 15 , 20 mol%) glass system have been evaluated using Monte Carlo simulations carried out with Geant4 model of the high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector and Phy-X database software. The results of this study revealed that γ-ray shielding capability of the studied glass system increases with the increase of BaO content and decrease of CdO content in the chemical structure due to the high atomic number (Z) of Ba compared to Cd. The results also showed that increase of BaO fraction in the glass structure weakens the neutron shielding ability and by the use of low Z elements in the composites better shielding performance against neutrons can be obtained.

Sabanci, Serdal; Icier, Filiz
In this study, sour cherry juice was evaporated up to 65% total soluble solid content (TSSC) under vacuum (25 kPa) by ohmic-assisted vacuum evaporation (OAVE) and vacuum evaporation (VE). The effects of voltage gradients (10–14 V/cm) on the rheological behavior of sour cherry concentrates having different TSCC (30%–65%) were determined, and compared with those of VE. In general, the shear stress increased as the shear rate increased for all concentrations. Since the statistical error values of Power Law and Newton models were similar (p >.05), the most appropriate model describing the rheological behavior was chosen as Newton model being more nominative and mathematically simpler. The viscosity of concentrates (30%–65%) varied in the range of 0.003–0.119 Pa.s. The increase in the viscosity values depending on TSSC during evaporation was similar for both processes. Thus, OAVE could be beneficial alternative method to VE for the purpose of producing fruit juice concentrates having similar rheological properties. Practical applications: It is an alternative evaporation method in the literature in recent years by integrating ohmic heating into the evaporation process. However, in order for the ohmic evaporation process to be an alternative, it is necessary to provide qualities of fruit juices similar to or better than the vacuum evaporation process. One of the most important features for the transportation of fruit juices in industrial transport lines is rheological properties. In this study, it is important to determine that the consistency of the product resulting from the use of ohmic heating support in evaporation does not differ from the conventional method. The data obtained in this publication will constitute an important data infrastructure for scaling OAVE operation to industrial systems as an alternative.

The Diauehi region, located in the northwest border of Urartian Kingdom, is called the Upper Aras basin nowadays. The Urartian remains in the Upper Aras basin have been found in the Hasankale/Pasinler, Marifet and Yoǧunhasan fortresses. Apart from these settlements, to the east of the basin are the Hamamli and Hasankale inscriptions, to the south are the Avnik, Delibaba and Yazilitaş inscriptions, and the Süngütaş inscription is located on the route to the north. From its early years onwards, the Urartian Kingdom tried to transform the Diauehi region through military campaigns and administrative arrangements. However, this transformation appears to have been different from the center of the kingdom, the Lake Van Basin, where the majority of the royal cities we are located. Instead of building new cities in the region, the kingdom's strategy was focused on conducting military campaigns to weaken the existing tribes and allying with the powerful ones. During the military campaigns dating to the early years of the kingdom, the tribe leaders who were also named as kings paid a tribute and accepted the authority of Urartians.

Akmaz, Düzgün
The increasing complexity of power systems and the increase in power quality (PQ) data have made it necessary to develop different and simple signal-processing tools. In this study, an approximate-derivative (AD) signal-processing tool based on a simple mathematical processing approach was developed for the segmentation of PQ disturbances. Although the developed method was highly effective for the segmentation of noise-free signals, the method was unable to properly handle the segmentation of noisy signals. Thus, to mitigate this situation, a denoising method based on the Sqtwolog threshold was applied to the noisy signals. After denoising, the proposed AD method effectively performed the segmentation. Subsequently, AD and a single-level discrete wavelet transform (DWT) with Daubechies 4 mother wavelets were compared through simulations, which showed that successful results can be obtained using the proposed method. Furthermore, all simulations showed that the application of AD and single-level DWT to PQ signals under different conditions resulted in similar patterns with different amplitudes. Therefore, this study provides a different approach for analysing signal using single-level DWT.

The dielectric and electrical conductivity properties of two-armed poly(Ɛ-CL-co-BMA) copolymer and adding bentonite forms were studied. The effect of the bentonite was investigated at different quantities (%3wt, %6wt, %15 wt). The measurements were performed at frequencies between 100 Hz to 10 kHz at room temperature, and the dielectric permittivity (ε′), the dielectric loss factor (ɛ″) and conductivity (σac) were calculated. ε′ and ɛ″ increased with increasing bentonite content. In addition, changes of susceptance (B) and impedance (IZI) were examined at different frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 10 kHz in order to investigate the effect of bentonite loading. As frequency increases, (B) increases linearly, whereas IZI decreases and remains constant at high frequencies. Two-armed copolymer synthesized using ring-opening polymerization (ROP) and Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (ATRP) and its composites prepared with bentonite were characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and SEM. Thermal behaviors were examined by TGA and DSC methods and the effect of bentonite was discussed.

Seasonal variations in species composition and growth dynamics of phytoplankton in Uzuncayir Dam Lake (Tunceli, Turkey) were studied in relation to ecological factors by collecting horizontal water and phytoplankton samples for over a year. A total of 46 phytoplankton taxa were recorded, where Bacillariophyta was the most abundant in species number representing 24 taxa. Diatoms were the most conspicuous phytoplankton in terms of abundance as well as occurrence frequency. Charophyta, Chlorophyta, Cyanobacteria, Ochrophyta, Miozoa, and Euglenozoa were the least abundant. However, some Diatoms (Gyrosigma attenuatum, Hippodonta hungarica, Meridion circulare, Nitzschia clausii, Nitzschia frustulum, Pantocsekiella ocellata, Rhoicosphenia abbreviata), Charophytes (Cosmarium granatum, Mougeotiopsis calospora), Cyanobacteria (Leiblenia epiphytica, Planktothrix agardhii); Dinoflagellates (Ceratium hirundinella, Parvodinium africanum, Parvodinium inconspicuum, Peridinium cinctum), and Ochrophyta (Dinobryon pediforme) were also noticeable, with their occurrence in all seasons. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were employed to analyze the relationship between occurrence and abundance of phytoplankton species as well as the ecological factors. The results showed that pH and the concentrations of NH4, NO3, and PO4 influenced seasonal occurrence and abundance of phytoplankton species in the lake. Uzuncayir Dam Lake may be classified as an oligotrophic lake with the mean value of nitrate 2.62 mg L−1 and phosphate 0.23 mg L−1 as supported by the occurrence of various phytoplankton groups. Findings related to pollution indices yielded that Uzuncayir Dam Lake is on the edge of the moderate state of organic pollution.
