Boztug, Durmus; Güney, Ozlem; Heizler, Matt; Jonckheere, Raymond C.; Tichomirowa, Marion; Otlu, Nazmi
The Kaman-Kirsehir region intrusions were generated in a post-collisional extensional setting following Cenomanian-Turonian docking of an oceanic island arc, comprising the supra-subduction zone (SSZ) Central Anatolian ophiolite (CAO), onto the Tauride-Anatolide Platform (TAP). These granitoids have been named, from N to S, the Camsari quartz syenite, Hamit quartz syenite, Bayindir nepheline-cancrinite syenite, Durmuslu nepheline-nosean-melanite syenite porphyry and Baranadag quartz monzonite. They intrude the crustal metasediments of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) and CAO and are unconformably overlain by Upper Paleocene to Lower-Middle Eocene sediments. The single-zircon Pb-207-Pb-206 evaporation age of the Camsari unit is 95.7 +/- 5.1 Ma; those of the Hamit and Baranadag units are indistinguishable with a weighted mean of 74.3 +/- 4.5 Ma. The amphibole 40Ar-39Ar ages of the Hamit and Baranadag units are almost identical with a weighted mean of 72.7 +/- 0.1 Ma. The apatite fission-track age vs elevation plot for the Camsari, Hamit, Durmuslu and Baranadag samples reveals rapid exhumation (>1 km/Ma) between similar to 57 and similar to 61 Ma, consistent with the results of track-length modelling. This Early-Middle Paleocene rapid exhumation is thought to result from uplift triggered by continent (TAP) - continent (Eurasian plate; EP) collision following the closure of Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan (IAE) ocean that also initiated the formation of peripheral foreland basins in central Anatolia.

Selvi, Selami; Polat, Ridvan; Babacan, Ebru Yuce; Rahman, M. Oliur; Çakilcioglu, Ugur
Micromorphology and anatomy of six Onosma L. species, viz. O. argentata Hub.Mor., O. neglecta Riedl, O. proballanthera Rech. f, O. rechingeri Riedl, O. sericea Willd. and O. stenoloba Hausskn. ex Riedl from Turky were investigated. Stem anatomy revealed that cuticle layer ranged from 0.6 mu m in O. argentata to 1.7 mu m in O. proballanthera. Parenchymatous cells of O. neglecta and O. stenoloba possessed more intense starch than the other species studied. In leaf anatomy, the longest palisade parenchyma was found in O. neglecta, while the smallest was noted in O. argentata. Mesophyll structure of O. argentata, O. sericea and O. rechingeri was equifacial (isobilateral), while O. neglecta, O. proballanthera and O. stenoloba presented bifacial (dorsiventral) structure. Rugose nutlet ornamentation was observed in O. argentata, O. neglecta and O. sericea, whereas reticulate type was found in O. proballanthera, O. rechingeri and O. stenoloba. Onosma stenoloba could easily be distinguished from other species by its aesterotrichous indumentum, and in contrary, other species possessed haplotrichous type of indumentum. Micromorphological features of nutlet surface, anatomical features of epidermal surface (trichomes and stomata), and lamina mesophyll structure (dorsiventral and isobilateral) could be useful in solving taxonomic problem of the genus.

Polat, R.; Cakilcioglu, U.; Selvi, S.; Türkmen, Z.; Kandemir, A.
In this study, we comparatively investigated three endemic Salvia species spreading in Erzincan (Turkey) in terms of anatomy and micromorphology. For anatomical investigation, cross sections taken from stems and leaves of the species were examined under light microscope. For micromorphological investigation, epidermal surface and nutlet structure were examined using scanning electron microscopy. The S. euphratica and S. divaricata species were examined anatomically and micromorphologically for the first time, and S. hypargea was examined micromorphologically for the first time. In anatomical examinations, it was seen that stem and leaf structures of the species were similar. In micromorphological analyses, it has been seen that hairiness of the nutlet surface and nutlet ornamentations (verrucate and rugose type) created a difference between the species.

Five cyanide complexes, [Ni(N-bishydeten)Pd(CN)(4)] (1), [Cu(N-bishydeten)Pd(-CN)(2)(CN)(2)](n) (2), [Cu(N-bishydeten)(2)][Pd(CN)(4)] (3), [Zn(N-bishydeten)Pd(CN)(4)] (4), and [Cd(N-bishydeten)(2)][Pd(CN)(4)] (5) (N-bishydeten = N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylenediamine), have been synthesized and characterized using various techniques. Different structures were formed when the M:L ratio was varied in copper complexes. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that 2, a 1-D cyanide-bridged complex with 2,2-CT-type zigzag chain, was obtained by using 1:1M:L ratio whereas 3 was formed as a complex salt in a molar ratio of 1:2. The thermal stabilities determined from DTG(max) values of the first decomposition stages change in the order 1>5>4>3>2. Although an EPR signal was not observed for 1, the g parameters obtained from the EPR spectra of 2 and 3 indicate that Cu-II ions are located in tetragonally distorted octahedral sites (D-4h), and the ground state of the unpaired electron is (B-2(1g)). The magnetic behavior indicates a very small antiferromagnetic interaction below 10K for 1-3. In 3, there is a temperature-independent paramagnetism () due to the orbital moments of the d electrons. 1-3 were tested as catalysts in Suzuki and Heck coupling reactions.

Sandulyak, Anna A.; Sandulyak, Alexander V.; Bulut, Hasan; Baskonus, Haci Mehmet; Polismakova, Maria N.; Sandulyak, Darya A.
The paper demonstrates that when defining the content of ferroimpurities in the analyzed media by magnetic control based on measuring the ferroimpurities masses m, which are extracted from the media sample step-by-step, it is crucial to define a functional view of the obtained dependence m on the operation order number n. It allows receiving additional forecast data m by extrapolating this dependence. With corresponding calculations being done, it enables determining the sought total mass of ferroimpurities (including their residual mass). We consider alternate solutions of practical tasks which yield magnetic control results in case of linear and piecewise-linear views (in semi-logarithmic coordinates) of the control mass-operational characteristics.

Akkoyunlu, Atilla; Avsar, Yasar; Erguven, Gokhan Onder
The objective of this study is to analyze the time processes of hazardous waste management (HWM) in Turkey. There should be a holistic evaluation of a country's hazardous waste management program in terms of theoretical qualifications, best practice applications, and, of course, problems and their solutions. This paper offers a similar approach to evaluate HWM in compliance with the European Union under the laws of environmental applications. In 2010, 786,418 tons of hazardous waste (HW) were produced in Turkey. Of this, around 18% is sent to municipal garbage dumps, 0.6% is burned, and the remaining 81.4% is disposed of by other methods (such as controlled landfill or haphazard throwaways).

Sançar, Taylan; Zabci, Cengiz; Karabacak, Volkan; Yazici, Muge; Akyüz, H. Serdar
The sinistral Malatya-Ovack Fault Zone (MOFZ) is one of the outstanding intraplate deformation belts within Anatolia. The 165-km-long, NE-SW-striking Malatya Fault (MF), which constitutes the southern section of the MOFZ, is separated into five segments according to its surface geometry. These segments have evident morphotectonic features that reflect long- and short-term fault activity, such as morphologic structures offset by as little as 7m and as much as 7.3km. This study provides results from the first paleoseismological investigations on the MF. We find that the last earthquake occurred between 965 and 549 BCE and calculate a recurrence interval of 2275 +/- 605years from evidence for four paleo-events over the last 10ka. Considering fault segmentation and our paleoseismological data, we propose that the accumulated strain on the MF may cause a destructive earthquake (M=7.4) in the near future. Our results support the hypotheses that the MF and other NW-striking dextral and NE-striking sinistral strike-slip faults within the eastern part of Anatolia are plate boundary-related, active deformational structures.

Baskonus, Haci Mehmet; Belgacem, Fethi Bin Muhammad; Bulut, Hasan
In this book chapter, the Variational Iteration Method is used to solve systems of nonlinear fractional differential equations. Implementations with two separate nonlinear fractional differential equations systems illustrate a high degree of effectiveness. In the absence of explicit analytical methods, the Variational Iterative Method turns out to be a powerful tool to understand the behavior of nonlinear fractional differential equations and systems. Numerical solutions plots are obtained for each system via the Mathematica Symbolic Algebra Software 9.

The present study aimed to determine and compare the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in two freshwater species of mussels Unio elongatulus eucirrus (Bourguignat, 1860) and Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771) in Keban Dam Lake, Turkey. The amount of Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Uranium (U) were detected. Heavy metals concentrations (ppm) of these heavy metals in U. e. eucirrus and D. polymorpha were 1.071 and 1.376 for As, 0.174 and 0.335 for Cd, 0.004 and 3.817 for Cu, 0 and 0.267 for Pb, 0.004 and 0.267 for U, respectively. Arsenic concentrations in the tissues of both species have exceeded the maximum permission limits in all sampling sites. The concentrations of Cu and U were considerably greater in D. polymorpha specimens than in U. e. eucirrus (p<0.05). The results obtained from the present study showed that both species accumulated heavy metals generally in the following sequences: Cu > As > Cd > Pb >U. The present results indicated that D. polymorpha may be a better bioindicator of environmental pollution than U. e. eucirrus, since it showed a higher accumulation capacity.

Introduction: This study aimed to identify the Quality of Life (QOL) and associated factors among rural elders. They represent a growing percentage in the national population today and have become increasingly isolated in villages that are being drained due to migration flows from rural to urban areas. Materials and Method: The universe of the present cross-sectional study consists of people of and over the age of 65 living in villages of the Zara district in Sivas Province. The study sample is composed of 20 villages and 577 elderly individuals living in these villages. The data were collected with the use of a personal information form, the WHOQOL-Bref QOL scale, the Geriatric Depression scale, and the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living through face-to-face interviews. The data thus obtained were evaluated on the SPSS software through the implementation of the distribution measures, Mann-Whitney U test, and Kruskall-Wallis Variance test. Results: Twenty-five per cent of the elderly individuals included in the study perceive their health status as being poor. The difference between gender, age, education, economic status, health perception, dependency information, and score averages in all subfield scores of QOL among the elderly was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Advanced age, female gender, chronic disease, depression, perception of health as poor, dependency, and constantly living in a village were determined to be among the negative factors that affect the elderly's QOL.

Seasonal variations of proximate composition and fatty acid profiles of wild brown trout (Salmo trutta macrostigma Dumeril, 1858) caught from the Munzur River, Tunceli-Turkey were investigated in this study. It was determined that wild brown trout was high in mono-unsaturated, poly-unsaturated and saturated fatty acids, respectively. C18:1 omega-9 (oleic acid) was the most abundant fatty acid in all seasons ranging from 20.27 to 29.35 %. C22:6 omega-3 (docosahexaenoic acid-DHA), C18:3 omega-3c (cis-linolenic acid), C18:2 omega-6c (linoleic acid), and C20:5 omega-3 (eicosapentaenoic acid-EPA) were found to be predominant fatty acids in PUFAs. As a conclusion, wild brown trout living in Munzur river could be considered as an important protein and omega-3 fatty acid source according to the nutritional quality results evaluated in terms of proximate and fatty acid composition.

In this study, the diazotized p-nitroaniline and p-methylaniline were coupled with malononitrile. The ring closure reaction of the obtained products with hydrazine monohydrate yielded 4-(4-methylphenylazo)-1H-pyrazole-3,5-diamine (L-1) and 4-(4-nitrophenylazo)-1H-pyrazole-3,5-diamine (L-2). The structure of the ligands has been elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. Then, novel Ni(II) and Cd(II) complexes of the ligands have been synthesized and the structures of these complexes determined by elemental analysis, spectrometric and TGA/DTA methods, molar conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. All the complexes were monomeric and diamagnetic. From the elemental analyses and mass spectra data, the complexes were proposed to the formulae [Ni-2(L-1)(2)(OH)(2)]center dot 2Cl center dot 8.5H(2)O, [Cd-2(L-1)(2)(OH)(2)]center dot 2Cl center dot DMF center dot 3H(2)O, [Ni(L-2)(2)]center dot 2Cl center dot 2DMF center dot 7H(2)O and [Cd-2(L-2)(2)(OH)(2)(H2O)(4)]center dot 2Cl center dot 1.5H(2)O. For the Cd(L-2) complex octahedral geometry was proposed, but the Ni(L-1), Ni(L-2) and Cd(L-1) complexes show four coordinated structure. The Ni(L-1), Cd(L-1) and Cd(L-2) complexes were found to be dinuclear. On the other hand the Ni(L-2) complex was found to be mononuclear. All the complexes were found to be (1:2) electrolytes.

The objective of the present work is to examine the effects of different doses (0, 10, 20 and 40 g kg(-1) fish diet mass) of kefir on growth performance and oxidant-antioxidant status in the blood and liver tissues of Coruh trout, Salmo coruhensis, in different periods (2 and 3 months). In this study, survival was more than 88.3%, and irrespective of dietary kefir levels at the end of the study. There were no significant differences in SGR (Specific growth rate), FCR (Feed conservation rate), CF (Condition factor) among fish fed diets with 0, 10, 20 and 40 g kg(-1) kefir, however, these growth values were significantly different in terms of durations between 2-month and 3-month treatment (P<0.05). Our results indicated that TAS (Total Antioxidant Status) and TOS (Total Oxidant Status) in blood tissues reduced with kefir treatment at the end of third month (P<0.05). Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in liver decreased in all groups compared with control group and a considerable extent decrease was observed in 40 g dose of kefir treatment at the end of third month. The data obtained from this experiment indicated that the same dose of kefir was more effective at the end of 3-month treatment than 2-month treatment (P<0.001). Although there was no statistical difference among groups, an increase in the glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) enzyme activity was observed in all groups compared to control groups. While catalase (CAT) activity decreased in all groups compared to control group at the end of second month (P<0.01), the decrease was insignificant level at the end of third month. In glutathione (GSH) levels, statistical differences were no observed in all groups compared to the control group with 2-month treatment while there were significant increases with 3-month treatment (P<0.001). It was concluded that kefir could play an antioxidant role and its effectiveness depended on dosage and time of application in Coruh trout, S. coruhensis.

Boztug, Durmus; Türksever, Esra; Heizler, Matt; Jonckheere, Raymond C.; Tichomirowa, Marion
The Karacayir syenite, intruding the Palaeozoic crustal metamorphics and unconformably overlain by Upper Paleocene to Eocene Tokus formation in the north of Sivas (east-central Anatolia), has been studied with respect to Pb-207-Pb-206 single zircon evaporation, biotite 40Ar-39Ar, and apatite fission-track geothermochronology. Pb-207-Pb-206 single zircon evaporation dating yields an age of 99.0 +/- 11.0 Ma (Cenomanian-Turonian) which is considered to be the intrusion age. Biotite 40Ar-39Ar age determination gives a cooling age of ca. 65 Ma. Apatite fission-track dating, combined with T-t modeling based on track-length distribution data, determines a fast tectonic exhumation with an uplift rate of > 1 mm/a which occurred 58-61 Ma ago. This Middle Paleocene fast tectonic uplift is considered to have resulted from a compressional regime induced by the collision between the Tauride-Anatolide platform (TAP) and the Eurasian plate (EP) along the Izmir-Ankara-Erzincan (IAE) suture zone following the closure of the north-dipping subducted IAE ocean which belongs to northern Neo-Tethyan realm. This compressional regime has also formed the peripheral foreland basins in central Anatolia.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Cu addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of PM Fe-Cu-Al2O3 alloys produced using hot-pressing method. Copper powder was added to iron powder at 5 wt.%, 10 wt.% and 15 wt.% rates. Production of Fe-Cu-Al2O3 alloys was carried out under pressure of 35 MPa, at 750, 800 and 850 degrees C, and for a sintering time of 4 minutes. Microstructure phase composition, relative density, hardness, and transverse rupture strength of the alloys were investigated. Phase composition and microstructure of the alloys were characterised by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS) techniques. The transverse rupture strength (TRS) of the samples was assessed by means of a three-point bending test. Hardness of Fe-Cu-Al2O3 alloys changed between 57 HB and 110 FIB depending on the amount of Cu and sintering temperature. Results show that the TRS of the alloys decreased together with the increase in the amount of copper, while it increased with increasing sintering temperature.

Onat, Onur; Lourenço, Paulo B.; Koçak, Ali
This paper presents finite element (FE) based pushover analysis of a reinforced concrete structure with a two-leaf cavity wall (TLCW) to estimate the performance level of this structure. In addition to this, an unreinforced masonry (URM) model was selected for comparison. Simulations and analyses of these structures were performed using the DIANA FE program. The mentioned structures were selected as two storeys and two bays. The dimensions of the structures were scaled 1: 1.5 according to the Cauchy Froude similitude law. A shake table experiment was implemented on the reinforced concrete structure with the two-leaf cavity wall (TLCW) at the National Civil Engineering Laboratory (LNEC) in Lisbon, Portugal. The model that simulates URM was not experimentally studied. This structure was modelled in the same manner as the TLCW. The purpose of this virtual model is to compare the respective performances. Two nonlinear analyses were performed and compared with the experimental test results. These analyses were carried out in two phases. The research addresses first the analysis of a structure with only reinforced concrete elements, and secondly the analysis of the same structure with reinforced concrete elements and infill walls. Both researches consider static loading and pushover analysis. The experimental pushover curve was plotted by the envelope of the experimental curve obtained on the basis of the shake table records. Crack patterns, failure modes and performance curves were plotted for both models. Finally, results were evaluated on the basis of the current regulation ASCE/SEI 41-06.

Introduction: Taekwondo is a complex combat sport requiring high levels of strength, balance, reaction time, attention, agility, and endurance for effective performance under rapid offensive and defensive conditions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of an 8-week plyometric training program on static balance (SB), dynamic balance (DB), reaction time (RT), and attention (AT) in adolescent female taekwondo athletes. Methods: Twenty female athletes (age: 14.85 +/- 1.53 years; height: 162.27 +/- 7.12 cm; body mass: 56.69 +/- 6.45 kg) voluntarily participated in the study at Mardin Halit Demir Martial Arts Club. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (EG, n = 10) or a control group (CG, n = 10). The EG performed plyometric training twice weekly for 8 weeks in addition to regular taekwondo training, while the CG continued only taekwondo training. Static balance was defined as the primary outcome, whereas dynamic balance, reaction time, and attention were considered secondary outcomes. A 2 & times; 2 repeated-measures analysis of variance (group & times; time) was used to examine intervention effects. Results: Significant group & times; time interactions were observed for static balance and dynamic balance (p < 0.05), favoring the experimental group. However, no significant group & times; time interactions were found for reaction time or attention (p > 0.05). Discussion: These findings suggest that plyometric training may effectively improve balance performance in adolescent female taekwondo athletes, particularly static and dynamic balance. However, no significant effects were observed for reaction time or attention. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to clarify the potential effects of plyometric training on cognitive performance.

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of cBN content and sintering temperature on the transverse rupture strength (TRS) of cBN/diamond cutting tools produced by hot pressing. The segments containing different cBN content were manufactured under 35 MPa pressure at 600, 650 and 700 degrees C with a 3 minutes sintering time. The TRS of segments were determined using three-point bending test. Microstructure and phase composition of fracture surface of segments were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The obtained results show that the TRS of the segments with cBN were higher than that of the segments with diamond.

Then, novel Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cd(II) complexes of L have been synthesized, and the structures of these complexes determined by elemental analysis, spectrometric and TGA/DTA methods, molar conductance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. All complexes were monomeric. Except Mn(II) complex, other complexes were diamagnetic. From the elemental analyses and mass spectra data, the complexes were proposed to the formulas [MnL2(CH3O)H2O]center dot Cl center dot CH3OH, [CoL2(CH3O)(2)]center dot Cl center dot 2.5CH(3)OH, [NiL2(CH3OH)(2)]center dot 6.5CH(3)OH and [Cd2L2(Cl)(2)(CH3O)(2)]center dot CH3OH center dot 1.5H(2)O. For Mn(II) and Co(III) complexes octahedral and for the Ni(II) complex square planar geometry were proposed, but the Cd(II) complex includes five coordinated structure. The Mn(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes were found to be mononuclear and electrolytes. On the other hand Cd(II) complex was found to be dinuclear and non-electrolyte.
