Yayan, Emriye Hilal; Arikan, Duygu; Saban, Fatma; Bas, Nazan Gurarslan; Özcan, Ozlem Ozel
This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted with adolescents to examine the correlation between Internet addiction and social phobia. The population of the study consisted of 24,260 students aged between 11 and 15 years. Sampling method was used from population with known number, and 1,450 students were calculated as sample of the study. In this study, 13.7% of the adolescents had an Internet addiction, and 4.2% spent more than 5 hr on the computer every day. There was a positive correlation between Internet addiction and social phobia. The form of time spent on Internet was examined in terms of addiction and social phobia; although Internet addiction was related to games, dating sites, and web surfing, social phobia was related to homework, games, and web surfing. It was hypothesized that adolescents with social phobia were Internet addicts, and the participants used the Internet to spend time rather than socialize.

Dikici, Abdullah; Calicioglu, Mehmet
This study investigated the survival and acid tolerance of Listeria monocytogenes during the 2-day processing stage and 90-day ripening of Savak tulum cheese, a traditional cheese in Turkey. Experimental Savak tulum cheese was produced from raw sheep's milk that was inoculated with a L. monocytogenes mixture consisting of five strains (average 7.0 log CFU/ml) and was ripened at 6 degrees C for 90 days. Microbiological and chemical analyses and acid exposure experiments in synthetic gastric fluid (SGF) (pH 1.5 to 2.5) were carried out on days 1 and 2 during processing and on days 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 during ripening. The numbers of L. monocytogenes did not decrease during processing, but a total of 4.1 log CFU/g reduction was observed during ripening. Throughout the ripening period, L. monocytogenes cells survived direct 90-min exposures of the cheese samples to SGF. These results suggest that, although the pathogen numbers decreased in Savak tulum cheese ripened at 6 degrees C for 90 days, a sublethal environment may have occurred in the cheese during the production stage, activating the acid-tolerance mechanisms of the pathogen and allowing L. monocytogenes to maintain its viability in the SGF for 90 min.

Akbulut, Selman; Kalafat, Mustafa
In this paper we give a survey of various results about the topology of oriented Grassmannian bundles related to the exceptional Lie group G(2). Some of these results are new. We give self-contained proofs here. One often encounters these spaces when studying submanifolds of manifolds with calibrated geometries. For the sake of completeness we decided to collect them here in a self-contained way to be easily accessible for future usage in calibrated geometry. As an application we deduce existence of certain special 3 and 4 dimensional submanifolds of G(2) manifolds with special properties, which appear in the first named author's work with S. Salur about G(2) dualities. (C) 2015 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Kaplan, Olcay; Kaya, Gokce; Yaman, Mehmet
Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element for all living organisms; however, excess amounts in soil, plants, and food have negative impacts on the environment and human health. The aim of this study was to determine Cu levels in different chemical phases of soils and the relationship between Cu levels in soil phases and concentrations in plants. Soils and plants grown in these soils from an industrialized area in Turkey were analyzed using a selective and four-stage sequential extraction procedure. Copper levels in exchangeable fractions were found up to 658 mg kg(-1) while total levels were in the range of 133-5609 mg kg(-1). Copper concentrations in plant parts (roots and stem) were in the range of 2.6-240 mg kg(-1). The exchangeable forms of Cu were in the range of 3-22% of total Cu concentrations. The relationships were observed between soil Cu and Rumex plant Cu, and soil Cu and root of Brassicasea plant Cu.

Yilmazer Gundem, Merve; Sahin, Simay; Karakose, Mehmet
Traditional methods used to measure metacognitive confidence rely on superficial features such as word count and ambiguity and therefore fail to adequately reflect the level of metacognitive confidence in statements. In this study, in addition to traditional text-based confidence measures, we used a Large Language Model (LLM) to directly analyze confidence and its ratio in statements. LLM-based confidence scores were calculated on statements from the e-SNLI and CoS-E open-source datasets, and the prediction performance obtained with traditional features was compared. The results indicate that traditional surface-level text features explain the variance in LLM-generated confidence scores to a limited extent, and that LLM-based scores are significantly correlated with independent researcher evaluations. This study contributes to the literature by offering a scalable and reproducible analytical framework for measuring metacognitive confidence. It is believed that the findings can be directly applied, particularly in applications where trust is critical, such as automated software test scenario generation, decision support systems, and risk management. The use of LLMs offers a framework for the LLM-based analysis of potential metacognitive confidence signals in natural language explanations by examining the sense of confidence and certainty with which statements are presented, rather than their factual accuracy.

In this study, essential oil compositions of two Hypericum L. taxa (Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra. and Hypericum aviculariifolium Jaub. et Spach subsp. depilatum var. depilatum (Freyn et Bornm.) Robson) naturally grown in Turkey were determined using gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry systems. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of plants. A total of 45 compounds were identified in the essential oils of H. triquetrifolium; 1-hexanal (18.8%), 3-methylnonane (12.5%) and alpha-pinene (12.3%). In this study, 41 components were identified in H. aviculariifolium subsp. depilatum var. depilatum oil; alpha-pinene (52.1%), germacrene D (8.5%) and beta-pinene (3.6%) were the predominant constituents. The essential oil analysis showed that monoterpene concentrations were higher than that of the sesquiterpenes in both oils. The results were discussed in the meaning of the usefulness of these plants and their chemicals as natural products and potential usage in chemotaxonomy.
AtıfWoS12OpenAlex17İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2012Scopus SJRQ1Automatic classification of power quality events and disturbances using wavelet transform and support vector machines
Eristi, H.; Demir, Y.
In this study, a new approach for the classification of power quality events is presented. Also, power quality disturbances, which occur in each phase of the power system after a fault event, are classified with the proposed system. In the proposed recognition system, three-phase voltage signals are used in order to identify the type of power quality events. Three-phase voltage signals are subjected to normalisation and segmentation processes. A wavelet transform method is used in order to obtain the distinctive features of event signals. An efficient feature vector, which represents the distinctive characteristics of three-phase event voltage signals and reduces data size, is extracted by applying the two-stage feature extraction process. Power quality event types are determined by using a support vector machine classifier. At the last stage of intelligent recognition system, types of power quality disturbances regarding each fault event are identified by doing a further analysis. Real power system data are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach. According to the obtained results, proposed intelligent recognition system classifies power quality event types with a high accuracy. The analyses and results also show that the proposed approach is efficient, reliable and applicable.

Demir, V.; Dere, T.; Ergin, S.; Cakir, Y.; Celik, F.
Tunceli, Turkey is one of the small cities in the Eastern Anatolian Region with substantial natural, cultural and historical heritage that is suitable to be a slow city. Water sources are abundant in the area due to rain and heavy snowfall in the mountains, which seeps into the ground or flows into the rivers. Therefore monitoring and conservation of city's drinking water quality is one of the main issues in the city. The present study was conducted to investigate several heavy metals and cyanide, arsenic, and selenium concentrations of drinking water samples taken from 100 different locations in the city and towns of Tunceli, Turkey during the years 2011 and 2012. In three locations, high levels of copper was found with a range of 2.1-11.5 mg/L, and high levels of arsenic was detected in five locations with a range of 10.5-78.0 mu g/L, exceeding the action levels for copper and arsenic. For health risk assessment, the average daily dose and hazard quotient (HQ) were calculated. The region mean values of HQ were found above 1 for arsenic in the samples collected from Mazgirt, while HQ values were below 1 in the rest of the samples.

Karaaslan, Nagihan M.; Yaman, Mehmet
Anthocyanins are a group of widespread natural phenolic compounds in vegetables and fruits. The anthocyanins have a wide range of applications due to the antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, anthocyanins (delphinidin-3-o-glucoside, cyanidin-3-o-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-o-glucoside and malvidin-3-o-glucoside) in cherry and cranberry were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS). The anthocyanins were separated using gradient elution and a reserved-phase analytical column before identification by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. A high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry method was optimized for the determination of anthocyanins in cherry and cranberry. Furthermore, in this study, we investigated extraction conditions of fruit samples as well as determination of optimum HPLC-ESI-MS conditions. This study is novel in terms of simultaneously examining both optimization of HPLC parameters and extraction conditions. Obtained optimum conditions were used for the determination as the quantitative and qualitative analysis of anthocyanins in cherry and cranberry. The content of anthocyanins on the basis of wet weight in cherry and cranberry samples was determined for delphinidin-3-o-glucoside < d.l. (detection limit) and < d.l., for cyanidin-3-o-glucoside varied from 3.5 +/- A 0.4 to 8.3 +/- A 1.1 mg kg(-1) (average 5.8 +/- A 0.8 mg kg(-1)) and 9.8 +/- A 1.4 to 18 +/- A 3.0 mg kg(-1) (average 13.2 +/- A 1.8 mg kg(-1)), for pelargonidin-3-o-glucoside < d.l. and varied from 136 +/- A 19 to 233 +/- A 35 mg kg(-1) (average 185.3 +/- A 28 mg kg(-1)), for malvidin-3-o-glucoside < d.l. and < d.l., respectively.

Asbestos is dangerous for health and is forbidden to use in Turkey, but villagers who live in rural eastern part still use it especially for their home for insulation purposes and even as a substitute for baby powder. Therefore, geological and chemical properties of this type of soil, which is near the settlement, should be characterized and identified from the point of view of health. Beypinari asbestos deposits are located at Beypinari village, about 90 km southeast of Sivas, Turkey within Central Anatolian Ophiolites. Therefore, in the present study, the existence of chrysotile in Beypinari asbestos deposit were characterized and identified by mineralogical analysis and by major, trace, REE analysis. The results show that the samples contain different amount of calcite mineral, the main mineral being chrysotile.

Eristi, Huseyin; Demir, Yakup
This paper presents a new power quality event classification technique using wavelet transform and logistic model tree. The proposed method uses the samples of three cycle duration of three line voltage of power quality events. The features of these samples are obtained by using the wavelet transform and a few different feature extraction techniques. The sequential forward selection method based a feature selection process is done to ensure good classification accuracy by selecting 20 better features from all 90 features generated from the wavelet transform coefficients. The obtained features are used to train a single logistic model tree. The feasibility of the proposed algorithm has been tested using real life power quality events. The result indicates that the feature selection based proposed method reliably classifies all types of power quality events with high accuracy.

Adigüzel, Ragip; Tascioglu, Senay
Complexation reactions between water-soluble and -insoluble reactants were shown to occur in aqueous media in the presence of normal or reverse surfactant micelles, in significantly higher yields at lower temperatures compared to those achieved in neat organic solvents. The highest yield enhancement in the complexation of novel water-insoluble bis(2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazolyl)methane and 1,4-bis(2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazolyl)benzene ligands with Cu(II) ions was achieved in the sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT)-heptane-water reverse micellar system at the hydration ratio of 15. The results revealed that AOT normal micelles cause a change in the reaction mechanism together with the enhancement of the complex formation. The observed micellar effects were rationalized on basis of the properties of bulk solvents, surfactants and ligands, considering the solvation and hydration ratios of reverse micelles. The results have proved the dependence of complex yield on the amount and accordingly also on the properties of water in the micellar core, indicating that the yield can be maximized by the optimization of the hydration ratio.

Yilmaz, A.; Zengin, B.; Ulak, F. Sadan
T-1 values in pure D2O and D2O solutions of human serum albumin (HSA) were measured versus temperature. A formula was derived based on H-H interactions between the surface HDO and non-exchangeable protein protons. The formula was used to evaluate the average distance of the interactions (rav). The effective correlation times were then derived by replacing the experimental data in the formula. Short correlation times obtained for the solution with low HSA (0.02 g albumin for one ml of D2O) decreased from 53 to 29 ps, while longer times increased from 1.19 to 2.22 ns. They are of the order of a fraction of a nanosecond for the solution with high HSA (0.08 g albumin per one ml of D2O). The perfect consistency between the derived theory and experimental data indicates that the high-field 1/T-1 in D2O solutions of albumin is caused by dipolar interactions between the surface HDO and non-exchangeable protein protons. It also suggests that the effective correlation time of the surface HDO is of the order of the mean lifetime of short-lived surface water.
