Modeling of the Effects of Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) Using Fuzzy Logic with Different Membership Functions for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEM) with Polyvinyl Alcohol/Nano Silver (PVA/Ag)

ERSOYOĞLU, Ali Serhat | ATA, Sadık | DİNÇER, Kevser | ÖNAL, Güral | YILMAZ, Yusuf

In this study, the effects of cyclic voltammetry (CV) has been modeled with Rule-based mamdani-type fuzzy (RBMTF), by using experimental data for proton exchange membrane fuel cell with PVA/AG. In the system developed, RBMTF apply input parameters are CV, scan rate and time, output parameters are current density and voltage. 12300 values for experimental study also obtained with RBMTF. Membership functions (MFs) are the building blocks of fuzzy set theory, i.e., fuzziness in a fuzzy set is determined by its MF. Accordingly, the shapes of MFs are important for a particular problem since they ef ...Daha fazlası

Measurement of D0, D+, D∗+ and D+s production in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV

KARASU UYSAL, Ayben | ALICE Collaboration

We report measurements of the production of prompt D0, D+, D∗+ and D+s mesons in Pb-Pb collisions at the centre-of-mass energy per nucleon-nucleon pair sNN‾‾‾‾√=5.02 TeV, in the centrality classes 0-10%, 30-50% and 60-80%. The D-meson production yields are measured at mid-rapidity (|y|

Methylmethane sulfonate (MMS) is an alkylating agent that may react with DNA and damage it. We investigated histological changes and apoptosis caused by MMS and the effects of curcumin on MMS treated mouse kidneys. Twenty-four mice were divided into four equal groups: controls injected with saline, a group injected with 40 mg/kg MMS, a group injected with 40 mg/kg MMS and given 100 mg/kg curcumin by gavage, and a group given 100 mg/kg curcumin by gavage. MMS caused congestion and vacuole formation, and elevated the apoptotic index significantly, but had no other effect on kidney tissue. Curcum ...Daha fazlası

Sarı Kantaron (H. Perforatum) ve Obezite ile ilişkisi

BERBEROĞLU, Hatice Tuğçe

Giriş: Bitkiler, eskiden beri sağlığın korunması ve iyileştirilmesinde yaygın şekilde tüketilmektedir (1). Bitkilerle tedavinin kökeni Çin’e dayanmakta, günümüzde de bitkiler ilaçların %25’inde etken madde olarak kullanılmaktadır (2). Bu bitkilerden birisi Hypericum Perforatum, 2000 yıldan uzun süredir bitkisel ilaç olarak kabul edilmektedir (3). ABD’de en yaygın kullanılan 10 şifalı bitkiden biri olan H. perforatum, Türkiye’de kılıç otu veya yara otu dünyada ise St John olarak bilinmektedir (4, 5). Literatür: Bileşiminde 6 ana grup vardır: Naftodiantron, floroglusinol, flavonoid, biflavon, fe ...Daha fazlası

Dünya İnovasyon Göstergeleri (GII) Işığında Türkiye’nin Dünya Ülkeleri Arasındaki Konumu ve Türkiye'nin Öncelikli Çözmesi Gereken Konular

KAZAK, Hasan

In today’s world, for countries to be able to improve the level of their development depends mainly on production and marketing of goods that are high in competitiveness. The ability to produce high quality goods which are more likely to survive in competitive structure of continuously globalizing world and to be able to succeed requires to achieve more innovative approaches in production. From governments to corporations, products to services, production to sales and marketing, and technology to classical systems, innovation is to be observed and sensed clearly. It has been aimed in this stud ...Daha fazlası

The impact of imiquimod on radiation-induced lung injury: Results of an experimental study Imiquimod attenuates radiation lung injury

ÇALIK, Mustafa | ÇALIK, Saniye Göknil | YAVAŞ, Güler | ÇELİK, Zeliha Esin | YAVAŞ, Çağdaş | SARGON, Mustafa Fevzi | ESME, Hıdır

Aim: Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a major dose-limiting factor during thoracic irradiation. Imiquimod (Imq) is a heterocyclic amine that has been shown to be effective in diseases related to inflammation and fibrosis. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of Imiquimod on RILI. Material and Method: The study included 60 adult female Wistar-Albino rats (250-300 g). Rats were divided into 6 groups: Group (G) 1: control, G2: radiotherapy (RT) only, G3 and G4: 5 and 10 mg/kg Imq, G5 and G6 RT: plus 5 and 10 mg/kg Imq groups respectively. A single dose of 15 Gray (Gy) RT was give ...Daha fazlası

Multidimensions of poverty for agricultural community in turkey: Konya province case

KAN, Mustafa | OĞUZ, Cennet | KAN, Arzu | ERGUN, Hüseyin | DEMİRÖZ, Emel

Poverty is a multi-dimensional global phenomenon. It encompasses health, housing, education, and social exclusion as well as simple incomes and expenditures. Multidimensional poverty is currently at the heart of many theoretical, empirical and institutional debates. The study was carried out in a rural settlement of Konya province in Turkey to determine the rural population’s poverty structure and to quantify different general characteristics of both the poor and non-poor population according to the poverty line (relative poverty based household income-monetary approach) and asset based wealth ...Daha fazlası

Management of chlorine dosing rates in urban water distribution networks using online continuous monitoring and modeling

KARADİREK, İbrahim Ethem | KARA, Selami | MUHAMMETOĞLU, Ayşe | MUHAMMETOĞLU, Habib | SOYUPAK, Selçuk

The aim of this study is to present the results of a research which was undertaken to manage chlorine dosing rates in a real water distribution network using online continuous monitoring and modeling. The study area was divided into 18 district metered areas (DMAs) where the water pressure and flow rate measurements to each DMA were online and continuous. Besides, online water quality sensors were installed at eight different locations and a bimonthly water quality measurement and sampling program was carried out. The data sets required to set, calibrate and verify the hydraulic and chlorine m ...Daha fazlası

Vagal schwannoma of the posterior mediastinum with cervical extension Vagal schwannoma with cervical extension

ESME, Hıdır | ÇALIK, Mustafa | ÇALIK, Saniye Göknil

A 35-year-old male was admitted to our Emergency Department with chest pain and hoarseness lasting for a month. A well-defined 58x36x34 mm mass located in the left posterior mediastinum with cervical extension was found on radiological imaging. It was completely excised with transversal cervicotomy and left-sided video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. Schwannomas originating from the intrathoracic vagus nerve are extremely rare. Due to its rarity, similarity with other mediastinal lesions and unusual localization, diagnosis can be missed easily in busy and crowded Emergency Department. Here, th ...Daha fazlası

Penetrating Lung Injury Caused by a Close-range Blank Cartridge: Case Report

ÇALIK, Saniye Göknil | ÇALIK, Mustafa | ŞAHSIVAR, Mehmet Orkun | DAĞLI, Mustafa | ESME, Hıdır

A 17-year-old male was brought to the emergency department with chest injury by a gunshot from a blank cartridge (BC). No bullet or fragment was seen in the radiological examination. The patient underwent left thoracotomy for hemopneumothorax. Chest injuries due to BCs have rarely been reported in the literature. The word ``blank{''} gives people a false sense of safety. Although BC ammunition does not contain any bullets or parts coming out of the barrel, it can lead to serious injury or even death, especially at contact or close-range.

TÜRK DÜDÜKCÜ, Figen | ÇETİNER ATEŞ, Ayşe | TAŞ ARSLAN, Fatma

Stoma, alınan tüm önlemlere rağmen komplikasyon oranı yüksek olan cerrahi bir uygulamadır. Peristomal deri komplikasyonları oldukça sık görülür. Deri ile ilgili komplikasyonlar ve diğer semptomlar; tedavi sürecinin uzamasına, iş gücünün kaybına ve maliyet artışına neden olur. Stoma farklı yaş gruplarında uygulanmakla birlikte özellikle yenidoğan bebeklerde uygulamaya ilişkin sorunlar yaşanmaktadır. Özellikle kullanılan ürünlerin boyutu stoma bakımını etkilemektedir. Bu vakada stoma bakımının yenidoğan bir bebekteki uygulamasına değinilmiştir. Yenidoğanda, stoma bakımı yapılırken stoma torbası ...Daha fazlası
