AYTURAN, Yasin Akın | AYTURAN, Zeynep Cansu | ALTUN, Hüseyin Oktay | KONGOLİ, Cezar | TUNÇEZ, Fatma Didem | DURSUN, Şükrü | ÖZTÜRK, Ali

Particulate matter (PM), classified according to aerodynamic diameter, is one of the harmful pollutants causing health damaging effects. It is considered as cancerogenic by the World Health Organization (WHO) because of the substances found in the chemical composition of PM. In this study, short-term prediction of PM2.5 pollution at 1, 2 and 3 hours was modelled using deep learning methods. Three deep learning algorithms and the combination thereof were evaluated: Long-short term memory units (LSTM), recurrent neural networks (RNN) and gated recurrent unit (GRU).

Change Detection in Multispectral Landsat Images Using Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms

YAVARIABDI, Amir

In this letter, we propose a novel method for unsupervised change detection in multitemporal multispectral Landsat images using multiobjective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA). The proposed method minimizes two different objective functions using MOEA to provide tradeoff between each other. The objective functions are used for evaluating changed and unchanged regions of the difference image separately. The difference image is obtained by using the structural similarity index measure method, which provides combination of the comparisons of luminance, contrast, and structure between two images.

Measurement of jet quenching with semi-inclusive hadron-jet distributions in central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV

KARASU UYSAL, Ayben | ALICE Collaboration

We report the measurement of a new observable of jet quenching in central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV, based on the semi-inclusive rate of charged jets recoiling from a high transverse momentum (high-pT) charged hadron trigger. Jets are measured using collinear-safe jet reconstruction with infrared cutoff for jet constituents of 0.15 GeV, for jet resolution parameters R = 0.2, 0.4 and 0.5. Underlying event background is corrected at the event-ensemble level, without imposing bias on the jet population. Recoil jet spectra are reported in the range 20 < pch < 100 GeV.

A New Approach to Early Diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure Disease by Using Hilbert-Huang Transform

ALLAHVERDİ, Novruz | KUTLU, Yakup | ALTAN, Gökhan

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a degree of cardiac disease occurring as a result of the heart's inability to pump enough blood for the human body. In recent studies, coronary artery disease (CAD) is accepted as the most important cause of CHF. This study focuses on the diagnosis of both the CHF and the CAD. The Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), which is effective on non-linear and non-stationary signals, is used to extract the features from R-R intervals obtained from the raw electrocardiogram ddata. The statistical features are extracted from instinct mode functions that are obtained applying ...Daha fazlası

Freshman Nursing Students' Perception of Their Profession: A Study of Metaphor

KOÇAK UYAROĞLU, Arzu | SELÇUK TOSUN, Alime | ÜNAL, Esra

ABSTRACT Objective: Metaphorical analysis is important in terms of evaluating the nursing profession from the perspective of nurses and understanding the profession. The study was conducted to analyze the perceptions of freshman nursing students about their profession through metaphors. Methods: This study was carried out in a qualitative design. The study was carried out with 94 students. The data that did not include any metaphor sources were eliminated and the study was concluded with the data from 61 students. The data were collected through the Personal Information Form and the semi-struc ...Daha fazlası

Türk Parlamento Tarihinde Çift Meclisli Yasama Sistemi Bakımından

Parlamento tarihimizde yasama organlarının işleyişi Meclis-i Ayan ve Cumhuriyet Senatosu dönemlerinde iki yapılı bir sistem şeklinde olmuştur. Devletin diğer kurumlarında olduğu gibi yasama organında da işleyiş siyasal yapıdan bağımsız kalmamıştır.İlk Anayasamız olan Kanun-i Esasi, aynı zamanda ilk parlamentomuzu da düzenlemiştir. Meclis-i Umumi adı verilen bu parlamentomuz Meclis-i Mebusan ve Meclis-i Ayan denilen iki kanattan oluşmuştur.Meclis-i Ayan, günümüzden farklı bir yasama işleyişi içinde ikinci bir meclis olarak önemli fonksiyonlar üstlenmiştir. Meclis-i Ayanın tecrübeleri, aynı zama ...Daha fazlası

Fuzzy Multi-Objective Nonlinear Programming Problems Under Various Membership Functions: A Comparative Analysis

AKARÇAY PERVİN, Özlem

Fuzzy sets have been applied to various decision-making problems when there is uncertainty in real-life problems. In decision-making problems, objective functions and constraints sometimes cannot be expressed linearly. In such cases, the problems discussed are expressed by nonlinear programming models. Fuzzy multi-objective programming models are problems containing multiple objective functions, where objective functions and/or constraints include fuzzy parameters. Membership functions are crucial to obtain optimal solution of fuzzy multi-objective programming model. In this study, a green sup ...Daha fazlası

Acute hypoxia exposure following prenatal stress impairs hippocampus and novelty-seeking behavior in adolescent rats.

ÇELİK, Kübra | BİLİM, Petek | GARİP, Gurur | DURMAZ, Burak | SÖZMEN, Eser Yıldırım | BAKA, Meral

Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the effects of acute hypoxia exposure following prenatal stress on the novelty-seeking behavior and hippocampus of adolescent rats. Methods: The offspring were divided into prenatal stress (PS) and non-stress (NS) groups. Both groups were exposed to hypoxia on postnatal day 10 (P10) while control groups were undisturbed. Novel object recognition task was performed in each group. Next, brains were collected to examine hippocampus via immunohistochemical and biochemical studies on postnatal day 35 (P35). Results: PS decreased novelty discriminat ...Daha fazlası

Inclusive heavy-flavour production at central and forward rapidity in Xe–Xe collisions at √sNN = 5.44 TeV

KARASU UYSAL, Ayben | ALICE Collaboration

The first measurements of the production of muons and electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in Xe–Xe collisions at √sNN = 5.44 TeV, using the ALICE detector at the LHC, are reported. The measurement of the nuclear modification factor RAA is performed as a function of transverse momentum pT in several centrality classes at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4) and midrapidity (|y| < 0.8) for muons and electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays, respectively. A suppression by a factor up to about 2.5 compared to the binary-scaled pp reference is observed in central collisions at both central and f ...Daha fazlası
