Gül, Serpil; Kaya, Mehmet; Kaya, Buket
This paper proposes a link prediction method to estimate what sort of disease risks may have been carried by the patients via surveying their and similar patients' medical histories. It is possible to make future oriented predictions with link prediction by deriving new data within a network structure. It is attempted to estimate the future structure of the network and the relations which will be created or abandoned by the individuals on the basis of the nodes within the network structure and the relations between these nodes. For this purpose, an undirected weighted disease network is first created by using the data of patients which were subjected to Hemogram test at F. rat University Hospital during 2013. In the disease network, each node represents a disease and the links represent a relationship between diseases. By the developed method, then disease risk prediction is made through a proactive approach by determining what sorts of disease risks were carried by the patients applying with certain complaints. Experimental results demonstrate the applicability of the link prediction in these networks.

Akyol, Sinem; Alatas, Bilal
Classical optimization algorithms are insufficient in large scale combinatorial problems and in nonlinear problems. Hence, metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been proposed. General purpose metaheuristic methods are evaluated in nine different groups: biology-based, physics-based, social-based, music-based, chemical-based, sport-based, mathematics-based, swarm-based, and hybrid methods which are combinations of these. Studies on plants in recent years have showed that plants exhibit intelligent behaviors. Accordingly, it is thought that plants have nervous system. In this work, all of the algorithms and applications about plant intelligence have been firstly collected and searched. Information is given about plant intelligence algorithms such as Flower Pollination Algorithm, Invasive Weed Optimization, Paddy Field Algorithm, Root Mass Optimization Algorithm, Artificial Plant Optimization Algorithm, Sapling Growing up Algorithm, Photosynthetic Algorithm, Plant Growth Optimization, Root Growth Algorithm, Strawberry Algorithm as Plant Propagation Algorithm, Runner Root Algorithm, Path Planning Algorithm, and Rooted Tree Optimization.

Ertit Tastan, Burcu; Kars Durukan, Ilknur; Ates, Mehmet
Nanoparticles have great impact due to their tremendous industrial applications. However, their applications have produced toxicity effects on the aquatic environments and their detailed analyses are not clearly understood. Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 NPs) are being used extensively in many industries but are considered highly toxic to aquatic species residing in surface waters. This paper demonstrates the acute toxicity of alpha-Fe2O3 and gamma-Fe2O3 NPs in two aquatic species. The effects of various concentration (0, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/L) of alpha-Fe2O3 and.-Fe2O3 on the sensitivity response of the Chlorella sp. and D. magna were investigated. The growth of microalgal decreased with increased concentration of the alpha-Fe2O3 and gamma-Fe2O3 NPs concentrations but did not show a significant toxic effect. The EC50 concentration value was 500 mg/L and LD50 concentration value was 1000 mg/L for alpha-Fe2O3 treated daphnids in 72 h, respectively. The findings demonstrate the significant evidence in understanding acute toxicity of Fe2O3 NPs for environmental protection as part of risk assessment strategies.

Kaya, Gokce; Yaman, Mehmet
Eleven plant species were collected from the vicinity of lead-battery plant in the city of Gaziantep, Turkey. Lead, cadmium and copper concentrations in the soil and leaves of plants were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. Lead, Cd and Cu concentrations in the soil samples taken from battery area were found to be in the ranges of 304 similar to 602, 0. 4 similar to 0. 44 and 31 similar to 37 mg . kg(-1), respectively. Significantly increased lead concentration up to 2 750 mg . kg(-1) was found in the leaves of Eleagnus angustifolia L. plant. The lead concentrations in the other plant leaves taken from 50 m around battery factory followed the order Ailanthus altissima > Morus sp. > Juglans regia L. > Ficus carica L. > Cydonia oblonga Miller > Prunus x domestica L. The plants, Populus nigra L., Eleagnus angustifolia L. and Salix sp. were found useful for Cd, and the plant, Eleagnus angustifolia L. for Pb, to be considered as potential biomonitor. Especially, leaves of trees and plants taken from the distance of 50 m from battery plant have relatively higher Pb concentrations. Therefore, people who and animals which live in this area and benefit from these soil and plants have vital risks.

Celik, E.; Erdogan, M.; Gumus, A. T.
In this paper, first, the criteria that make logistics service providers more green'' are determined as: cooperation with customer's company and its customer, green government regulations, environmental management system, green process design, reduction in energy consumption and green network design. The criteria weights are determined by fuzzy AHP, based on expert opinions. Then, a new method is proposed, which is the combination of fuzzy TOPSIS and GRA, and used to evaluate green 3PLs based on different separation measures, as an extension, using trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Five Turkish 3PLs serve in Istanbul are selected in order to apply a case study to show the applicability of the proposed method. Finally, the proposed method is verified with respect to different resolving coefficient values and separation measures and also compared with fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy VIKOR method results. Different multi-criteria decision-making methods can be applied and compared to check validity of our results for future studies. The proposed method can also be implemented to 3PLs in other countries.

Özkaya, Ferhat Can; Peker, Zerife; Camas, Mustafa; Camas, Anil Sazak; Altunok, Muhammet
Ethyl acetate extracts from 70 strains of marine-derived fungi, isolated from sponges, were screened against four fish pathogenic bacteria. Sixteen of the fungal isolates exhibited antibacterial activity against at least one pathogen. All the strains showed antibacterial activity against Vagococcus salmoninarum. Three isolates showed strong inhibition against all test pathogens and they may therefore be remarkable as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial. Nine isolates showed antibacterial activity against Lactococcus garvieae, six were against Vibrio anguillarum, and four isolates inhibited the growth of Yersinia ruckeri. Co-culture of the fungus with the mix of the pathogen bacteria led to the induction of bioactivity in two isolates. Aspergillus iizukae produced strong and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against pathogens with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 0.8-406 mu gmL(-1). The screening results confirmed the sponge associated fungi as a source of environmentally friendly antimicrobials that may contribute the sustainable development of aquaculture. In addition, co-culture technique is a promising strategy to increase antimicrobial activity that can stimulate the production of novel compounds, and increases the antimicrobial activities of marine derived fungi.

Turan, Gulcan Atici; Et, Mikail
In the present paper, we introduce and investigate the concepts of Wijsman f rho-statistical convergence of order alpha and Wijsman strong f rho-convergence of order alpha. These notions are defined as natural generalizations of classical statistical convergence and Wijsman convergence, incorporating the tools of modulus functions and natural density through the function f. We provide a detailed analysis of their structural properties, including inclusion relations, basic characterizations, and illustrative examples. Furthermore, we establish the inclusion relations between Wijsman f rho-statistical convergence and Wijsman strong f rho-convergence of order alpha, showing conditions under which one implies the other. These notions are different in general, while coinciding under certain restrictions on the function f, the parameter alpha, and the sequence rho. The results obtained not only extend some well-known findings in the literature but also open up new directions for further study in the theory of statistical convergence and its applications to analysis and approximation theory.

Staphylococcal food poisoning is one of the most prevalent causes of gastroenteritis throughout the world. This study has three steps. In the first step of the study, different food matrices were analyzed for the presence of Staphylococcus aureus. In the second step, types of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SET) from these foods were analyzed. Lastly, antibiotic resistance of S. aureus isolated was determined using conventional and PCR methods. For this purpose, 300 different food samples were evaluated for contamination with S. aureus. From these samples 221 S. aureus strains were isolated. The same strains were evaluated for antibiotic resistance and existence of mecA gene. All strains were at least resistant to 2 antibiotics, but no MRSA strain was detected. Staphylococcal Enterotoxins (SE) were determined with VIDAS and ELISA from the foods of concern. The results of the analysis held with Vidas SET2 showed 72 (24%) of 300 samples and with ELISA these enterotoxins showed difference in distribution.

Yildirim, M.; Polat, M.; Öksüztepe, E.; Omaç, Z.; Yakut, O.; Eren, H.; Kaya, M.; Kürüm, H.
Estimation of dimension parameters for an electrical machine has great importance before manufacturing. For this reason, analytical design should be performed in an optimum form. While motor analysis is accomplished by package programs, initial size parameters are intutivily provided and then various trials are examined to get optimum results. In this study, we are trying to find dimensional and electrical parameters generating mathematical equations in analytic approaches for In-Wheel Switched Reluctance Motor (IW-SRM), which will be employed by Electric Vehicle (EV). Therefore, optimum motor parameters for required speed and torque have been estimated by solving generated equations for in-wheel SRM with 18/12 poles via MATLAB. Using the parameters, analysis of in-wheel SRM has been carried out 3D Finite Element Method (FEM) by Ansoft Maxwell 15.0 Package Software. Consequently, the accuracy of the estimated parameters has been validated by the results of Maxwell 3D FEM.

Kutluyer, Filiz; Kayim, Murathan; Ögretmen, Fatih; Büyükleblebici, Serhat; Tuncer, P. Barbaros
In present study, it was examined whether addition of different antioxidants to the cryopreservation extenders had an effect on semen post-thaw fertility and motility in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and also it was investigated the sperm characteristics post-thaw sperm characteristics and fertility. The collected semen was pooled to minimize individual variation. Each pooled ejaculate was split into 12 equal aliquots and diluted with base extenders supplemented with the antioxidants, and a base extender with no additives (control). The pooled semen samples diluted at the ratio of 1:10 by the extenders were subjected to cryopreservation. Antioxidants were separately added to the extenders (one per experimental group): catalase (250 U/l), superoxide dismutase (250 U/l), peroxidase (250 U/l), oxidized glutathione (1.5 mmol/l), reduced glutathione (1.5 mmol/l), L-methionine (1.5 mmol/l), uric acid (0.25 mmol/l), L-ascorbic acid (0.5 mmol/l), alpha-tocopherol (2.0 mmol/l), beta-carotene (0.5 mmol/l) and camitine (0.5 mmol/l). After dilution the semen was aspirated into 0.25 ml straws, the straws were placed on the tray, frozen for 10 min, and plunged into liquid nitrogen. Our results indicated that the post-thaw motility rate increased in extenders supplemented with uric acid, L-methionine, SOD, L-carnitine, alpha-tocopherol and L-reduced glutathione (p < 0.05). The motility duration of frozen thawed semen increased in extenders supplemented with uric acid, L-methionine, SOD, alpha-tocopherol and L-reduced glutathione (p < 0.05). Fertilization rate and hatching rate of frozen-thawed semen was not affected by the tested antioxidants. Consequently, the tested antioxidants affected the motility parameters and cryopreservation extenders could be supplement with antioxidants. This study suggested usage of antioxidants in the cryopreservation of rainbow trout. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In this study, the load-carrying capacity of a single-lap joint bonded by an adhesive was determined experimentally. Glass fiber-epoxy composite material was chosen as adherends and Loctite (R) 9466 A&B2 was used as adhesive. The vacuum assisted resin infusion method (VARIM) was used to manufacture composites. In this experimental study, the effects of hole drilling and temperature were investigated. Five hole configurations and three temperatures (room temperature, 50 degrees C, and 80 degrees C) were considered. The results show that hole drilling elevate the failure load and when the temperature increases the load-carrying capacity decreases.

Bayrakdar, Cihan; Çilgin, Zeynel; Saris, Faize
Karadag is one of the mountains subjected to the Pleistocene glaciations in the Teke Peninsula (Western Taurus) along with Beydaglari, Akdag, and Sandiras Mountains. Karadag, which reaches 2418 m summit at a 30 km straight distance from the northeast of Fethiye Bay, has many peaks over 2300 m. There are plenty of glacial researches and dating studies aim to reveal Pleistocene glaciation chronology of the mountains such as Sandiras and Akdag in the Teke Peninsula. On the other hand, glaciations in Beydaglari were mentioned superficially and in general terms. Lastly, there has not been known any glaciation phenomenon in Karadag, in other words there are not any studies concerning the glaciation on the mountain. However, Karadag has distinctive cirques and moraines on the slopes of high elevations near the peak. In this study, we identified glacial valleys, cirques developed in different sizes and aspects and lastly frontal and hummocky moraines in front of these cirques. They are descending to the elevation of 1800 m. With this study, a new glacial area was identified in Turkey and made a contribution to the glaciation inventory of Turkey. This study aims to reveal the geomorphological and climatological characteristics of this area with regard to tectonic, climatic and karstic characteristics during Pleistocene. Maps and relevant outputs were created and analyzed by geographic information systems using the spatial data obtained from the field studies, unmanned aerial vehicles and meteorological stations.

Uysal, Turan; Erüst, Ceren; Erdemoglu, Murat; Sis, Hikmet
The evaluation of bauxite-associated shales as a secondary source of rare earth elements (REEs) is strategically important for securing a sustainable supply of critical raw materials used in advanced technologies. In this study, shale ore associated with bauxite, unsuitable for aluminium production due to its high silica content, was investigated as a potential resource for valuable REEs. The effect of thermal activation on REE recovery was examined, and the potential use of the leach residue as a silica source was assessed. Based on acid leaching results, the optimum calcination temperature was identified as 700 degrees C. Under these conditions, high REE recoveries were achieved: 92.9% La, 89.9% Ce, 89.0% Pr, 88.7% Nd, and 73.0% Sm. After leaching, the residue was enriched in alumina and silica. To improve silica purity and recover remaining REEs and Al, a second-stage leaching process was applied. This resulted in a byproduct containing 55% SiO2 with a specific surface area of 48 m2 g-1, indicating its potential as a silica source. The results demonstrate that bauxite-associated shale can be sustainably valorised through intensive milling, calcination, and acid leaching, enabling efficient REE recovery and the production of a silica-rich byproduct.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of some essential oil compounds for the inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in cig kofte. In experiment 1, a cig kofte batch was inoculated with high levels of E. coli O157: H7 or L. monocytogenes (7.00 log(10) cfu/g) and the batches were divided into 6 groups. Each group was treated with 18 mL/kg of normal saline, cineole, limonene, carvone, linalool, or eugenol. Treatment with carvone, linalool, and eugenol resulted in a significant (P < 0.05) decrease in the numbers of both pathogens. In experiment 2, the cig kofte was inoculated with the same pathogens and each group was treated with 0 (control), 20, 22.5, and 25 mL/kg of eugenol. Increases in concentration did not cause a difference in pathogen reduction. The results showed that eugenol, carvone, and linalool can be used for the inactivation of E. coli O157: H7 and L. monocytogenes in cig kofte or similar foods.
