Multimodality MR image processing and analysis aims to determine to what extent information from various imaging modalities is redundant or complementary and how changes in various regions of the brain, detected by various modalities, interact with each other to produce cognitive and functional changes. Here, we presented a multimodality image processing framework to integrate unique and complementary observations on anatomical and physiological brain changes measured by structural and perfusion MR imaging modalities. A unique aspect to this study is that we performed a test on mediation hypothesis that requires a model based on measurements from both MR imaging modalities. Our findings from these integrated multi-modality analysis were congruent with previously published results on neuropathology of AD patients and supplied a comprehensive explanation on the integration between structural atrophy and physiological deterioration due to AD.

Türkiye koyun ve keçi varlığında Dünya’nın ve Akdeniz Havzası’nın önde gelen ülkeleri arasındadır. AB’de bu üretim dallarını içine alan destekleme politikaları, her iki üretim faaliyetinin sürdürülebilirliğini olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Bununla birlikte, AB’de koyun-keçi ve ürünlerinde kendine yeterlilik düzeyleri dikkate alındığında, Türkiye’nin bazı ticari fırsatlara sahip olduğu da ortadadır. Bu makalenin amacı, Türkiye’nin koyun-keçi ürünleri üretim ve dış ticaretini Akdeniz’e kıyısı olan ve önemli koyun-keçi varlığına sahip AB ülkeleriyle birlikte değerlendirmektir. Çalışmada ele alınan ülkeler son 30 yılın ortalamasına göre, koyun ve keçi varlığında önemli AB üyesi Akdeniz ülkeleri arasından seçilmiştir. Bu ülkeler, Fransa, Yunanistan, İtalya ve İspanya’dır. AB’de koyun-keçi ürünlerinde kendine yeterliliğe ulaşılamaması Türkiye açısından potansiyel bir pazar fırsatı yaratmaktadır. Özellikle AB’de koyun-keçi sütünden yapılan peynirlere olan talep giderek artmaktadır. Önemli üretici ülkelerde bile koyun ve keçi derisi ithalat değeri yüksektir. Türkiye kaliteli deri üretimiyle ithalata dayalı üretimini azaltabileceği gibi, mevcut hayvan varlığıyla önemli bir ihracatçı olma potansiyeline de sahiptir. Sektörden elde edilen ürünler artan oranlarda işlemeye ve pazar ekonomisine yönlendirilmelidir. Bunun için, hayvan sağlığını, kaliteli üretimi ve sürdürülebilirlik koşullarını sağlayan istikrarlı üretim ve pazarlama politikaları izlenmelidir., Turkey is one of the major countries in sheep-goat population in the world and Mediterranean Basin. Supporting policies, included these production braches in the EU, have affected positive for sustainable sheep-goat production. However, when considered self-sufficient levels in sheep-goat production in the EU countries, it is clear that Turkey has some marketing opportunities. The aim of this study is to evaluate the production and export of Turkey in sheep-goat products with some Mediterranean countries, which are member to the EU and have important sheep-goat population. According to the last 30 years average, these countries are France, Greece, Italy and Spain. Insufficient production level for sheep-goat products in the EU is a potential market opportunity for Turkey. Especially the demand of cheeses, which made of sheep-goat milk, has increased. In addition, in leader producer countries, the export value for sheep-goat hide is high. However, both the production based on import can be decreased by producing quality hide in Turkey and export potential can be increased. Products obtained from sectors, it must be led to processing and the market economic. For this, the stable production and marketing policies must be realized, which provides animal healthy, quality processing products and sustainability.

Spatial normalization is frequently used to map data to a standard coordinate system by removing inter-subject morphological differences, thereby allowing for group analysis to be carried out. The work presented in this paper is motivated by the need for an automated cortical surface normalization technique that will automatically identify homologous cortical landmarks and map them to the same coordinates on a standard manifold. The geometry of a cortical surface is analyzed using two shape measures that distinguish the sulcal and gyral regions in a multi-scale framework. A multichannel optical flow warping procedure aligns these shape measures between a reference brain and a subject brain, creating the desired normalization. The partial differential equation that carries out the warping is implemented in a Euclidean framework in order to facilitate a multi-resolution strategy, thereby permitting large deformations between the two surfaces. The technique is demonstrated by aligning 33 normal cortical surfaces and showing both improved structural alignment in manually labeled sulci and improved functional alignment in positron emission tomography data mapped to the surfaces. A quantitative comparison between our proposed surface-based spatial normalization method and a leading volumetric spatial normalization method is included to show that the surface-based spatial normalization performs better in matching homologous cortical anatomies.

PurposeThe aim of this study was to reveal the role and importance of the milk collection centers in İzmir in assuring food safety in the Turkish dairy sector.Design/methodology/approachA five‐point Likert scale was applied to collect data on the food safety practices and the problems confronted in MCCs. The difference between the groups in the managers' and MCCs' specifications and the food safety applications in the MCCs were determined by one‐way ANOVA for continuous variables. For the continuous variables, a normal distribution test was applied by Jarque‐Bera test. For variables displaying normal distribution, analysis of variance (one‐way ANOVA) was performed. For the variables not displaying normal distribution, Kruskall‐Wallis test. In the evaluation of other data descriptive statistics were applied.FindingsBecause the milk in the MCCs is generally obtained from small‐scale family farms, it is not of the desired quality from a food safety and food quality perspective. The quality control analysis of raw milk cannot be carried out because of the lack of qualified specialists and equipment inadequacies. The most general test applied on milk delivery is based on the monitoring of the sensory properties of the milk.Research limitations/implicationsAll MCCs were covered in the sample size of the research and the questionnaires were applied to all 43 MCC managers in İzmir.Practical implicationsAn effective organizational and educational structure must be established to monitor food safety and related practices in MCCs.Originality/valueThe paper adds to the body of knowledge on procecessors and their attitudes to food safety and suggests implementation of various practices which could improve results.

Spatial normalization is frequently used to map data to a standard coordinate system by removing inter-subject morphological differences, thereby allowing for group analysis to be carried out. In this paper, we analyze the geometry of the cortical surface using two shape measures that are the key to distinguish sulcal and gyral regions from each other. Then a multispectral optical flow (OF) warping procedure that aims to align the shape measure maps of an atlas and a subject brain's normalized maps is described. The variational problem to estimate the OF field is solved using a Euclidean framework. After warping one brain given the OF result, we obtain a better structural and functional alignment across multiple brains.

International audience; With the ability to study brain anatomy in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging, studies on regional brain atrophy suggest possible improvements for differential diagnosis of movement disorders with parkinsonian symptoms. In this study, we investigate effects of different parkinsonian syndromes on the cortical gray matter thickness and the geometric shape of the cerebral cortex. The study consists of a total of 24 patients with a diagnosis of probable progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple systems atrophy (MSA) or idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD). We examine dense estimates of cortical gray matter thickness, sulcal depth, and measures of the curvature in a surface-based cortical morphometry analysis framework. Group difference results indicate higher cortical atrophy rate in the frontal lobe in PSP patients when compared to either MSA or IPD. These findings are indicative of the potential use of routine MRI and cortical morphometry in performing differential diagnosis in PSP, MSA and IPD.

AB'de 1990'lı yıllarda tüketicileri ve gıda sektöründeki tüm kesimleri tedirgin eden gıda kaynaklı sorunlar, karar alıcıları ve yetkilileri gıda güvenliği ve kalitesi konusuna odaklanmaya itmiştir. Bu bağlamda, Birlik içinde üretilen geleneksel gıdalarla ilgili önemli mevzuat düzenlemeleri de yapılmıştır. Türkiye'de de son yıllarda gıda güvenliğine ilişkin mevzuat hazırlıkları ve uygulanmalarına dönük çalışmalar, uluslar arası ticaretin ve özellikle AB ile olan ilişkilerin gereği olarak hızlanmıştır, önemli bir gıda Üretim potansiyeline sahip olan Türkiye, geleneksel gıda çeşitliliği ve üretimi açısından da zengin bir dokuya sahiptir. Bu tür gıdaların üretim ve pazarlamasının ekonomik boyutları da giderek artmaktadır. Günümüzde pazar bağlantılı gıda üretiminin ticari kuralları ise, gıda güvenliği ve kalitesinden ayrı düşünülememektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, AB sürecinde Türkiye'de geleneksel gıdaların üretim ve pazarlama durumunun gıda güvenliği çalışmaları açısından değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışma, Türkçe ve yabancı dillerde yayınlanmış literatür araştırmasına dayalı olarak hazırlanmıştır., During 1990's, problems originated by food which concerned every actor in the sector and especially consumers, forced authorities and experts to focus on food quality and safety issues. As a consequence, there have been some crucial legal regulations related with traditional foods produced in the EU. In Turkey as well, some legal arrangements regarding food safety have accelerated recently, due to changes in international trade and improvements in relationships with the EU. Turkey, which has a great potential of food production, also has an outstanding variety and production of traditional foods. In case of considering traditional foods in macro level, the scale of production and marketing of such goods enlarges. In today's conditions, rules of food products' trade related with the market, necessitate food quality and safety. The aim of this study is to define the place of traditional foods in food safety acts in Turkey and to evaluate some strategies for production and marketing of traditional foods from the view point of conforming to the EU. This article is a review of Turkish and Foreign literature.

Visualization and mapping of function on the cortical surface is difficult because of its sulcal and gyral convolutions. Methods to unfold and flatten the cortical surface for visualization and measurement have been described in the literature. This makes visualization and measurement possible, but comparison across multiple subjects is still difficult because of the lack of a standard mapping technique. In this paper, we describe two methods that map each hemisphere of the cortex to a portion of a sphere in a standard way. To quantify how accurately the geometric features of the cortex -- i.e., sulci and gyri -- are mapped into the same location, sulcal alignment across multiple brains is analyzed, and probabilistic maps for different sulcal regions are generated to be used in automatic labelling of segmented sulcal regions.

Segmentation and mapping of the human cerebral cortex from magnetic resonance (MR) images plays an important role in neuro-science and medicine. This paper describes a comprehensive approach for cortical reconstruction, flattening, and sulcal segmentation. Robustness to imaging artifacts and anatomical consistency are key achievements in an overall approach that is nearly fully automatic and computationally fast. Results demonstrating the application of this approach to a study of cortical thickness changes in aging are presented.

With the improvements in techniques for generating surface models from magnetic resonance (MR) images, it has recently become feasible to study the morphological characteristics of the human brain cortex in vivo. Studies of the entire surface are important for measuring global features, but analysis of specific cortical regions of interest provides a more detailed understanding of structure. We have previously developed a method for automatically segmenting regions of interest from the cortical surface using a watershed transform. Each segmented region corresponds to a cortical sulcus and is thus termed a “sulcal region.” In this work, we describe two important augmentations of this methodology. First, we describe a user interface that allows for the efficient labeling of the segmented sulcal regions called the Program for Assisted Labeling of Sulcal Regions (PALS). An additional augmentation allows for even finer divisions on the cortex with a methodology that employs the fast marching technique to track a curve on the cortical surface that is then used to separate segmented regions. After regions of interest have been identified, we compute both the cortical surface area and gray matter volume. Reliability experiments are performed to assess both the long-term stability and short-term repeatability of the proposed techniques. These experiments indicate the proposed methodology gives both highly stable and repeatable results.

A validation study was conducted to assess the accuracy of an algorithm developed for automatic reconstruction of the cerebral cortex from T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) brain images. Manually selected landmarks on different sulcal regions throughout the cortex were used to analyze the accuracy of three reconstructed nested surfaces – the inner, central, and pial surfaces. We conclude that the algorithm can find these surfaces with subvoxel accuracy, typically with an accuracy of one third of a voxel, although this varies by brain region and cortical geometry. Parameters were adjusted on the basis of this analysis in order to improve the algorithm’s overall performance.

Accurate reconstruction of the cortical surface of the brain from magnetic resonance images is an important objective in biomedical image analysis. Parametric deformable surface models are usually used because they incorporate prior information, yield subvoxel accuracy, and automatically preserve topology. These algorithms are very computationally costly, however, particularly if self-intersection prevention is imposed. Geometric deformable surface models, implemented using level set methods, are computationally fast and are automatically free from self-intersections, but are unable to guarantee the correct topology. This paper describes both a new geometric deformable surface model which preserves topology and an overall strategy for reconstructing the inner, central, and outer surfaces of the brain cortex. The resulting algorithm is fast and numerically stable, and yields accurate brain surface reconstructions that are guaranteed to be topologically correct and free from self intersections. We ran the algorithm on 21 data sets and show detailed results for a typical data set. We also show a preliminary validation using landmarks manually placed as a truth model on six of the data sets.

Grapevine growing area of Bosnia and Herzegovina is limited by surface, but in spite of this fact, there is a great number of autochthonous varieties. A small number of them have a greater commercial significance, while most of them are grown at a small scale. However, their genetic inter-relationships are presently unknown. The aim of this study was to genotype 26 accessions of native grapevine varieties from Bosnia and Herzegovina and to determine the number and frequency of alleles within this population. This should put more light on level of genetic diversity among studied accessions, as well as determine possible synonyms and homonyms. Genetic profile of each variety was produced with SSR markers at nine loci. On the basis of obtained results coefficient of genetic similarity was computed. The mean number of alleles per locus was 7, 33 and observed heterozygosity over all loci was 0, 77. Five clusters of identical genotypes were found ; some of them were expected, and some were not. Synonyms and homonyms were also found within the analyzed accessions. The coefficient of genetic similarity shows that there is a significant level of genetic distance and diversity among the tested varieties. This fact suggests that the grapevine varieties from Bosnia and Herzegovina may have different genetic and geographical origins. To further elaborate this, genetic relationship of grapevine varieties from Bosnia and Herzegovina and varieties from neighboring and distant areas, should be analyzed.

Ten microsatellite markers used in a previous study on the autochthonous apple germplasm in Bosnia and Herzegovina managed to differentiate the autochthonous apple cultivars from the international ones. The molecular data also allowed the discrimination between autochthonous apple accessions introduced during Ottoman Empire and those brought to this country during the Austria-Hungary rule over Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this study the same SSR primers were used to examine 31 apple accessions from on-farm collections located in the Municipality Stari Grad, Sarajevo. A number of new alleles that were not amplified in the previous study were detected. Among the analysed accessions several homonyms and synonyms were detected. Some of the apple genotypes were in fact international, commercial cultivars, while many others can be considered autochthonous. We propose a wider regional study, using the same methodology, which might yield interesting results from the aspect of plant genetic resources.

Bread making quality and wheat storage proteins of 12 winter wheat cultivars grown at the experimental field of the Agricultural Institute Osijek were studied. The protein content varied from 12.4 to 16.4%. Dough rheological parameters as indicators of gluten strength varied between weak to very strong. Allelic variations at Glu-1 loci analyzed by SDS-PAGE method showed that HMW subunits 2* at the Glu-A1 locus, 7+9 at the Glu-B1 locus and 5+10 at the Glu-D1 locus were dominant in analyzed cultivars. Regarding the quantitative results of storage proteins obtained by RP-HPLC method a specific differences among cultivars was noticed. Within the storage proteins, the _- gliadins (27.5%), LMW glutenins (34.0%) and _- gliadins (20.3%) were generally major components, while _- gliadins (3.7%), HMW glutenins (8.9%) and albumis and globulins (14.6%) were minor ones. Results of the linear correlation (p

In Osijek (eastern Croatia) during the three years experiments were set up, with 25 wheat varieties developed in the last 100 years from Croatia, Italy, Romania, France and Russia. After harvest we determined differences in selected traits. The sum of precipitation in growing season during 2008/09, 2009/10 and 2010/11 were 368.6 mm, 846.6 mm and 500.4mm. Grain yield, plant height, heading date, 1000 kernel weight, test weight and protein content were analyzed. Highly significant differences between varieties and years were revealed for the traits. The highest grain yield had varieties Katarina, Alka and Renata. Alka and Katarina had yields in average 15% higher compared with Slavonia (Saray Bosna, Brasilia), 18% higher than Dropia and Flamura 85, 30% higher than Bezostaja 1 and about 54% higher than Sirban Prolifik and U1. In both dry years the highest grain yield had varieties Alka, Katarina, Renata and Lucija. In a rainy year, all varieties had significantly lower grain yields, lower 1000 kernel weight and test weight, but higher protein content, and the highest grain yield had varieties Demetra, Katarina, Dropia, Zitarka and Alka. The lowest grain yield in all three years of research had varieties U1 (introduced in the production in 1936), Sirban Prolifik (introduced in the production in 1905) and Dubrava (recognized in1968). The oldest varieties Sirban Prolifik and U1 were 130-140 cm high, 7-14 days later in heading date with significantly higher protein content (not god quality of gluten) than varieties developed in the last twenty years.

The genetic identity of a promising new sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) cultivar ‘eli ka’ was examined using seven microsatellite markers developed from peach (Prunus persica). Along with the previously mentioned cultivar, four international, commercial cultivars (‘Schatten morelle’, ‘Rexelle’, ‘Doubbele Gorsem Kreiek', 'Heimanns Konservenweichsel') and two most commonly grown regional cultivars (‘Maraska’ and ‘Obla inska’) were also analyzed. Seven primer pairs managed to amplify 46 different alleles, as well as distinguish all the analyzed genotypes. UPGMA dendrogram based on genetic similarity (Dice) was constructed in order to examine the relationships of the analyzed cultivars. ‘Rexelle’, ‘Doubbele Gorsem Kreiek', 'Heimanns Konservenweichsel' clustered tightly with ‘Schatten morelle’, which is not surprising considering the fact that these three cultivars are supposed spontaneous seedlings of ‘Schatten morelle’. The new cultivar ‘eli ka’ also displayed very high level of genetic similarity with ‘Schatten morelle’ indicating that even this new genotype might be a spontaneous seedling of the famous cultivar. The cluster analysis showed that the examined ‘Maraska’ and ‘Obla inska’ genotypes grouped very closely together. This may indicate a recent common ancestor or hybridization events, especially since ‘Maraska’ and ‘Obla inska’ fit more the description of populations than that of classic cultivars.

In this research we identified certain analogy between SSR polymorphism of referent foreign quality varieties (Vanessa – winter type and Scarlett – spring type) with two varieties of winter (Zlatko and Barun) and two of the spring barley types (Fran and Matej) from the Agricultural Institute Osijek breeding program. Malt quality characteristics such as malt extract, viscosity and friability were run through three consecutive years (2004, 2005 and 2006) at two locations (Osijek and Nova Gradiska). The correlation between SSR polymorphism and malt quality measurement values has been examined in order to attain certain level of marker diagnostic ability. Seven SSR markers previously described in literature as potential detectors of certain chromosomal regions of interest were used, as follows: malt extract (EBmac415 and EBmac501), viscosity (Bmag211 and Bmag337) and friability (HVM40, Bmag120 and Bmag7). According to quality data in general, spring barley cultivars when compared with winter cultivars had significantly higher malt extract content (80.57 ; 79.65), lower malt viscosity (1.588 ; 1.682), higher friability (52.61 ; 65.88) together with specific interactions with growing conditions. This distinction between winter and spring types of barley in a sense of genotype correlates to UPGMA dendrograms for observed traits, related markers and also to variability within observed germplasm (foreign vs. domestic varieties).

Testing of winter wheat cultivars grain yield and quality attributes in comparative field trials is one of the primary steps in determination of genotype suitability for particular growing conditions. With that objective field experiment with seven winter wheat cultivars of Croatian origin (Alka, Katarina, Felix, Renata, Olimpija, Lela and Slavonija-Saray Bosna) and winter wheat cultivar Flamura 85 (Romanian origin), which was used in form of standard, was set up as randomized complete block design (RCBD) in four repetitions at Altinova location (Balikesir Province) in the year 2010. Grain yield, test weight, thousand kernel weight, protein content, wet gluten content, sedimentation value of flour and rheological parameters were measured. Among tested cultivars were found statistically significant differences for grain yield. The highest grain yield achieved cultivars Alka, Flamura 85, Felix and Katarina. The highest average values of test weight showed cultivars Slavonija (Saray Bosna), Flamura 85, Lela and Olimpija while the highest thousand kernel weight were found for cultivars Flamura 85, Olimpija and Renata. Cultivars Felix, Lela and Renata achieved the highest protein and wet gluten content, while only for cultivar Slavonija (Saray Bosna) were found sedimentation value of flour above 60 ml. All cultivars showed medium and good to very good dough rheological parameters.

Grain and malt traits important for malting quality were studied on a set of 6 barley genotypes grown at location of eastern Croatia for three seasons (2009, 2010 and 2011). Malting of samples was done with Joe White automatic micro-malting system. Statistically justified differences in results of malt extract content and wort viscosity were found both between cultivars and years. Malt extract content varied from 74.88% (Osk.5.161/3-06 in 2010) to 80.60% (Lukas in 2009). The results of determination of wort viscosity ranged from 1.4765 mPas (Vanessa in 2010) to 2.4994 mPas (Bravo in 2009). Regarding the results of the analysis of friability and Kolbach Index data observed, there were also statistically significant differences between cultivars and years included in this study. Significantly higher friability means were noticed in cultivar Vanessa (60.36%) and in 2009 year (54.47%). Cultivar Lukas resulted in significantly higher Kolbach Index (37.07%), while the year 2010 resulted in significantly lower mean of Kolbach Index (34.46%).

Quantitative traits are the result of genotype, environment and their interactions. Because of that it is difficult to compare values reported for the protein content of grain grown in different locations or in different years. Anyway breeding programm should focus on high protein content although generally exist the negative correlation between protein content and yield. To obtain information about the reaction of winter wheat genotypes to different environmental conditions, experiments were set up with 18 winter wheat genotypes in four replications at four locations with different soil types in two seasons. Protein content, wet gluten content and sedimentation value were analyzed. The genotype Divana had a high mean protein content accompained with a high positive interaction. The genotypes Golubica, Mihaela and Renata formed an adaptive group with moderate positive interaction and highly moderate mean for the protein content. Distribution of genotypes points in the AMMI II biplot revealed that the genotype Sana scattered closest to the origin, indicating minimal interaction of this genotype with environments. Wet gluten content ranged from 18.3 % (genotype Aida in Pozega 2009) to 39.3 % (genotype Golubica in Osijek 2010). The highest sedimentation value was obtained at location Osijek 2010 (genotypes Renata, Golubica, and Divana). Investigated quality parameters were highly correlated. This information is helpful in selecting proper genotypes for wheat breeders, growers, millers and bakers for their end products with desired quality characteristics, which should be combined with good rheological and agronomic traits.
