Cattani, Carlo; Sulaiman, Tukur Abdulkadir; Baskonus, Haci Mehmet; Bulut, Hasan
In this paper, we construct a family of wave solutions to the doubly dispersive equation, such as topological, non-topological, singular, compound topological-non-topological bell-type and compound singular, soliton-like, singular periodic wave and exponential function solutions. These analytical solutions are obtained by using the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion method and the modified exp (- φ(ζ)) -expansion function method. The doubly dispersive equation is an important nonlinear physical model describing the nonlinear wave propagation in the elastic inhomogeneous Murnaghan’s rod. Under a suitable choice of parameters, the 2D, 3D and contour graphics to the reported results are also plotted.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2019Scopus SJRQ2Synthesis, characterization and spectroscopic investigation of N-(2-acetylbenzofuran-3-yl)acrylamide monomer: Molecular structure, HOMO–LUMO study, TD-DFT and MEP analysis
Barim, E.; Akman, F.
In this study, a novel acrylamide monomer was synthesized and characterized by UV-Vis, FT-IR and 1H NMR measurements. The acrylamide monomer namely, N-(2-acetyl-benzofuran-3-yl)acrylamide (NABA), was prepared in two steps. In the first step, 1-(3-aminobenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one was synthesized by the reaction of 1-chloroacetone with 2-hydroxy-benzonitrile under basic conditions. In the second step, the obtained 1-(3-aminobenzofuran-2-yl)ethan-1-one was reacted with acryloyl chloride and triethylamine at 0–5 °C temperature for obtaining NABA monomer. Then, the structural, vibrational, nuclear magnetic resonance and electronic properties for the synthesized monomer were determined by quantum chemical calculations of DFT method. The results were compared with experimental FT-IR, 1H NMR and UV–Vis spectral data. The band gap of HOMO and LUMO show that the NABA monomer is chemically active and has charge transfer within the monomer. Moreover, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps were drawn to identify reactive regions of NABA monomer.

Bulut, Hasan; Sulaiman, Tukur Abdulkadir; Baskonus, Haci Mehmet
This study uses the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion method in constructing various optical soliton solutions to the resonant nonlinear Schrödinger equation with both spatio-temporal and inter-modal dispersions. Resonant nonlinear Schrödinger equation expresses the propagation dynamics of optical solitons and Madelung fluids. Dark, bright, combined dark–bright and singular optical solitons are successfully constructed. Under the choice of suitable values of parameters, the two-dimensional, three-dimensional and the contour graphs to some of the acquired results are plotted. The reported results may be useful in explaining the physical meaning of the studied model.

Mete, Suleyman; Çil, Zeynel Abidin; Celik, Erkan; Ozceylan, Eren
In recent years, the interest of disassembly line has increased owing to the economic reasons and increase of environmental awareness. The balancing of the disassembly line is one of the factors affecting directly the performance of the process. Companies with a line used effectively can gain many advantages in terms of economic aspect and it facilitates competition the companies with others. Moreover, uncertainties end-of-life products characteristics and quantity of supply/demand causes reassigned of task and altering cycle time. Rebalancing of disassembly line is required in this situation. In this study, a novel mixed integer programming model is proposed. Firstly, disassembly line balance is created, and then according to the given new supply, tasks are reselected and reassigned to the workstations. A real case study is presented. The generated test problems are also analyzed using proposed mathematical model. Through the analysis of rebalancing the existing disassembly line, it has been identified that an existing balance might have been changed to accommodate changes in the desired output rate in order to cope up with the variation of the cycle time.

Aşkın, A.; Sayyed, M.I.; Sharma, Amandeep; Dal, M.; El-Mallawany, R.; Kaçal, M.R.
In the present work, the radiation shielding proeprties of lithium borophosphtellurite glass system with the composition of (100-x) [0.5Li2O-0.1B2O3–0.4P2O5]-xTeO2 (x = 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mol%) were reported. The mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ) of the selected glass system (LiBPTe0, LiBPTe10, LiBPTe20, LiBPTe30 and LiBPTe40) was calculated at 356 keV, 662 keV, 1173 keV and 1330 keV photon energies by using Geant4 and FLUKA codes and the results were compared to the values obtained theoretically using WinXcom software. The correlation theory has been used to calculate the correlation coefficients (R2) between the results from WinXcom and the both simulations codes (Geant4 and FLUKA) for each sample. Moreover, some other radiation shielding parameters such as effective atomic number, photon transmission, mean free path and half value layer were calculated. The gamma photon transmission results showed that the transmission values of the 356 keV photons are lower than those of energies 662, 1173 and 1330 keV. At 356 keV, the transmission value for LiBPTe0 (at 6 cm thickness) is found to be 0.245 while at the same energy and thickness the transmission value is 0.088 for LiBPTe40. Out of all the glasses considered in present work, LiBPTe40 possesses the highest values of effective atomic number (Zeff). The Zeff values for the present glasses are 8.02, 9.55, 11.16, 12.85 and 14.64 for LiBPTe0, LiBPTe10, LiBPTe20, LiBPTe30 and LiBPTe40 respectively at 356 keV. The mass attenuation coefficient and effetive atomic number results showed that utilization 40% mol of TeO2 significantly improves the gamma ray shielding properties of the selected glass system. The shielding effectiveness of the selected samples was compared with other reference materials namely two radiation shielding glasses and four concretes used in different shielding purposes in terms of the mean free path (MFP) at 356 keV. The results revealed that the MFP of RS-253-G18 is lower than LiBPTe0sample. Moreover, the MFP of ordinary concrete is higher than the MFP of all glasses under examination, thus the investigated tellurite glasses have better attenuation features than the ordinary concrete.

Ozdemir, Yasal; Kaya, Sema Kayapinar; Turhan, Erkan
This study aims to develop a measuring tool which can address two independent research areas in the literature: Sustainability in higher education and service quality in higher education. Both subjects are studied independently in the literature, showing a need for an integrated approach that bridges these areas. For achieving this purpose, a new scale was developed based on a questionnaire applied to two universities in Turkey. The scale aimed to measure the perceptions of the students regarding the quality of sustainable campus services. The questionnaire consisted of 22 questions on several aspects of campus services which are related to sustainability. A total of 234 samples were used for Exploratory Factor Analysis for determining the underlying structures in the data set. The scale was validated with satisfactory Kaiser-Meyer Olkin and Bartlett's test results. Five dimensions were extracted, which represent sustainable service quality. After validation, the scale was applied to two universities located in geographically and socio-economically different regions of Turkey. The term chosen for the proposed combined scale is Sustainable Service Quality (SusServQual). With additional data, t-tests were applied to 308 students aiming to compare the two universities based on perceived quality scores. The results show that the university located in the socio-economically more developed region performed better regarding the overall satisfaction score and four of the five dimensions. The scores were also weighted utilizing a modified method of Analytical Hierarchy Process. Instead of crisp numbers which forces the decision maker to think in mathematical terms while comparing criteria, linguistic terms, each of which corresponds to a fuzzy number were used. Thus, a more accurate evaluation was obtained where the decision maker's subjectivity and ambiguity of the situation are important.

Çimen, Okay; Öztüfekçi Önal, Ayten; Akyol, Eylem Akarsu
The Hasangazi chromite pit is an abandoned mine located to the east of the town of Pülümür (Tunceli, Turkey). The surface water that circulates in the pit flows into the Pülümür stream via the Turnadere creek. The quality of the surface water and soil from the region is important regarding the ecosystem in the Tunceli area. The open pit operations in the chromite deposits may be the cause of toxic element enrichments. To understand the effects of such pits, samples from the sediments, soil, waste material, and surface water were collected from the Hasangazi pit and its surrounding area. Samples were mineralogically and geochemically analyzed by XRD, ICP-OES, and ICP-MS methods. Mineralogical analyses showed the presence of chrysotile and plagioclase in the sediment and soil samples. These samples are also enriched in toxic elements, e.g., Cr, Ni, and Co. In particular, the Cr and Ni concentrations exceed the limits of soil pollution regulation of Turkey and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Overall the Cr, Ni, and chrysotile contents demonstrate the impact of the abandoned pit and the ultramafic rocks. Moreover, the surface water samples in the dry season have Zn concentrations above the toxic levels that may have been derived from the volcanic rocks. Environmental remediation precautions should immediately be taken around this inactive pit.

Polat, A.; Kaya, Y.; Bendine, K.; Özşahin, T.Ş.
In this study, continuous contact problem in the functionally graded (FG) layer loaded with two rigid flat blocks resting on the elastic semi-infinite plane was analyzed by the finite element method. The two-dimensional numerical model of the FG layer was made with the software added to the ANSYS program. This software can be adapted to all contact problem types by making minor changes. The accuracy check of the program was performed by comparing with the analytical solution of the problem by homogeneous layer and its solution by the finite element method. So, fast and practical solutions can be obtained by the developed finite element method on many applications such as; automotive, aviation and space industry applications. The comparisons made showed that the proposed solution gave good results at acceptable levels. In the problem, it was thought that all surfaces were frictionless. The external loads P and Q were transmitted to the FG layer via two flat rigid blocks. Normal stresses between the FG layer and the elastic plane, initial separation loads, initial separation distances and contact stresses under the blocks were investigated for various dimensionless quantities.

Entry of β-elemene into various phases of clinical trials advocates its significance as a premium candidate likely to gain access to mainstream medicine. Based on the insights gleaned from decades of research, it seems increasingly transparent that β-elemene has shown significant ability to modulate multiple cell signaling pathways in different cancers. We partition this multicomponent review into how β-elemene strategically modulates various signal transduction cascades. We have individually summarized regulation of tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand, signal transducers and activators of transcription, transforming growth factor/SMAD, NOTCH, and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways by β-elemene. Last, we will discuss the results of clinical trials of β-elemene and how effectively we can use these findings to stratify patients who can benefit most from β-elemene.

Kaya, Sema Kayapinar; Erginel, Nihal
Sustainable development has gained importance in recent years as a development model that aims to create environmental awareness for future generations within the economic and social development goals of the countries. Sustainable development is concerned with the effective and efficient use of rapidly declining natural resources for the growing population. The achievement of the goals determined in sustainable development and the transfer to the next generations is realized through sustainable education. Due to the innovative and pioneering role of universities in society, they are the most important educational institutions that contribute to the spread of a sustainable lifestyle in society. In this study, Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment (IT2_FQFD) approach was developed to improve sustainable university attributes. Firstly, the most important 12 sustainability criteria (SRs) were weighted with Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (IT2_FAHP). Then QFD approach was used to determine the importance of sustainability factor of university campus, the relations between SRs and SDs, and the correlations matrix among SDs via interval type-2 fuzzy sets. After that, the design attributes were ranked with fuzzy trade-off method. The fuzzy trade-off is a novel ranking method covering all of the solution space in order to find an optimal solution in decision-making problems with conflict criteria. This paper is the first study that presents a new method of combined IT2_FQFD and IT2_FAHP, which evaluates the sustainable university model considering the needs of student and academicians. As a result of this study, the most appropriate SDs were determined and ranked according to their importance level.

Çimen, Okay
The Central Pontides (northern Turkey) is one of the key localities to understand the geodynamic evolution of the Palaeo- and Neotethyan oceans. It consists of the pre-Jurassic basement units, the Early Jurassic and the Early Cretaceous accretionary complexes, the widespread Middle Jurassic continental arc magmatics and the Late Jurassic to Tertiary cover units. The Early Cretaceous accretionary complex is represented by the Central Pontide Structural Complex and includes the Middle Jurassic oceanic units, which were metamorphosed during the Early Cretaceous. Apart from these oceanic units, a few metaophiolite and serpentinite fragments have been recognized within the basement units, which may represent the remnants of an older ocean. The pre-Middle Jurassic Devrekani Metaophiolite is the largest oceanic fragment and tectonically intercalated within/between the Devrekani Metamorphics and the Çangaldağ Metamorphic Complex. It is mainly composed of harzburgites, dunites with chromite veins and metagabbros, and cut by metabasaltic andesites and metadacites. Petrographically, the gabbro consists mainly of plagioclase and clinopyroxene, and displays phaneritic/porphyritic texture. In contrast, the metabasaltic andesite includes plagioclase and mica phenocrysts within a fine-grained groundmass. Also, the metadacite is composed predominantly of quartz, plagioclase, and mica minerals. Two different magmatic groups belonging to completely different tectono-magmatic settings have been geochemically determined based on the immobile trace element systematics. The metadacites and metabasaltic andesites are akin to continental arc magmatics and characterized by negative Nb and Ta anomalies and depleted HFSE relative to Th and La contents. However, the metagabbro samples display the geochemical signatures of boninitic rocks and characterized by highly depletion in HFSEs and REEs relative to N-MORB. The Devrekani Metaophiolite in the Central Pontides may represent another remnant of pre-Middle Jurassic oceanic crust generation and can be north-eastward continuation of the Permian-aged Almacık complex and the Boğazköy Metaophiolite fragment in the western Sakarya Composite Terrane. It may have been cut by intrusions of the extensive Middle Jurassic continental arc magmatism after its imbrication within the basement unit. The presence of pre-Middle Jurassic oceanic units may indicate that the Paleozoic ocean may have survived as the Jurassic Intra-Pontide Ocean between the Scythian Platform and Sakarya Composite Terrane during the Mesozoic time. Thus, the Intra-Pontide Suture may normally include the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic remnants of the long-lived northward subducting Tethyan ocean.

Gul, Muhammet
The field of occupational health and safety (OHS) focuses on reducing occupational accidents to an acceptable level. OHS covers systematic efforts aimed at providing employee health, safety and welfare in the workplace. This study proposes a new approach for risk assessment in the field of OHS. It integrates the Pythagorean fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (PFAHP) and fuzzy VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (FVIKOR) into a risk assessment process. The PFAHP is used in weighting the risk parameters. FVIKOR is then applied to prioritize the hazards. To demonstrate the applicability and validity of the proposed approach, a case study of a barrel external surface oxidation and colouring unit of a gun and rifle production facility is performed. A comparison is also provided between the proposed approach and an intuitionistic fuzzy sets-based approach. The proposed approach is found to produce reliable outcomes that better represent the vagueness of the decision-making process.

The pollen morphology of three species of the genus Chrysophthalmum Schultz Bip. (Asteraceae) found in Turkey were studied with light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The three species were C. dichotomum Boiss. & Heldr., C. gueneri Aytac & Anderb., and C. montanum (DC.) Boiss. Pollen grains of the Chrysophthalmum species were identified as spheroidal and their apertures were shown to be tricolporate. The polar and equatorial axes, distance between colpus apices, length/width of colpus, length/width of porus, exine thickness, and length/base of spine were measured on the pollen grains. Pollen ornamentation of the three species was identified as echinate in LM and echinate-microperforate in SEM. These studied species were distinguished from each other using Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn’s test. The results indicate that pollen characteristics could be useful for distinguishing the examined species.

It was assessed the efficiency of the electrocoagulation (EC) in slaughterhouse wastewater (SW) treatment by using antioxidant parameters of Gammarus pulex. The SW was treated by EC. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in G. pulex exposed to pre- and post-treated of the SW during 24 h and 96 h were analysed. Standard methods were applied during the analysing process of the physicochemical quality parameters for both untreated and treated SW. All measured physicochemical parameters were decreased following the treatment process via EC. After the treatment process, it was observed that while SOD activities and MDA levels were decreased, CAT activities were increased and GPx activities did not exhibit any change. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the abilities of untreated SW to promote oxidative stress in model organism. The SOD, CAT activities and MDA levels in G. pulex revealed that EC process were efficient in the SW treatment.

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.

The aim of this research was to investigate the efficacy of rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) essential oil (EO) as a new herbal anesthetic compared with camphor (Cinnamomum camphora) EO and commonly used chemical agent 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE) on goldfish (Carassius auratus). The anesthetic efficacies of these herbal EOs and 2-PE were evaluated in goldfish with mean body weight of 7.36 ± 0.77 g. Fish were exposed to each anesthetic concentrations and the lowest effective concentrations (LECs) were established according to deep anesthesia (AD < 3 min) and full recovery (RF < 5 min) times. RD and CP showed anesthetic characteristics and induced AD. The LECs for each anesthetic were established at 250 μl L−1 for RD (AD; RF → 171 ± 2.28 s; 297 ± 7.69 s), 250 μl L−1 for CP (AD; RF → 129 ± 4.18 s; 291 ± 2.81 s) and 700 μl L−1 for 2-PE (AD; RF → 177 ± 2.35 s; 214 ± 4.93 s). At concentrations of 50, 100, 150, 200 μl L−1 for RD, 50, 100, 150 μl L−1 for CP and 400, 500 μl L−1 for 2-PE failed to induce AD in goldfish. There were significantly differences found among RD, CP and 2-PE concentrations in terms of induction and recovery times (p < 0.05). The fastest AD and RF were obtained by 300 μl L−1 CP (120 ± 1.94 s) and 600 μl L−1 2-PE (190 ± 4.34 s), respectively. Fish exposed to 300 μl L−1 RD and 800 μl L−1 2-PE took slightly longer to achieve AD than 300 μl L−1 CP. Induction and recovery times for EOs and 2-PE were significantly dependent on concentrations. Negative relationships was recorded between AD and RF for all anesthetics. No mortality or adverse effects occurred and fish stayed calm during trials. Results showed that RD was found to be an effective anesthetic as well as CP for goldfish and can be used at least 3-fold lower concentrations than 2-PE. In conclusion, rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) EO, as a new potential anesthetic for fish, proved to be an effective natural agent resulting in rapid induction and recovery.

Aslan, Serpil; Kaya, Mehmet
Link prediction in complex networks is a topic of high interest for many scientists that studied different areas. Many real-world complex networks have naturally bipartite structured. In this work, we proposed a link prediction method for the complex bipartite network. Recently, while link prediction in complex bipartite networks has been extensively studied, there isn't still sufficiently suitable methods for this networks. The previous works usually have some limitations. They first map the bipartite network into the unimodal projection networks. Then, they perform the link prediction using only the properties of the projection networks. However, these projection networks involve many node pairs with weak relationships when used in networks constructed from real-world data. These weak relationships lead to low probability predictions and high computation time for the algorithm. In this paper, to overcome these limitations, we first map the bipartite network into strengthening projection network model that consists of nodes that have only strong relationships. Based on this projection network, we presented the link prediction method for the complex bipartite network. We conducted extensive experiments on complex bipartite networks. The results of the experiments demonstrate that our proposed method can effectively solve the link prediction problem in complex bipartite networks.
