2. A Functional Model of the Olivocerebellar System That Produces Rhythmic Activity at Gamma Frequency

Author: DOKUZ EYLUL UNIV IZMIR (TURKEY) DEPT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS, Kuntalp, Mehmet, DOKUZ EYLUL UNIV IZMIR (TURKEY) DEPT OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS, and Kuntalp, Mehmet
Abstract: This article presents a simplistic but biologically plausible functional model of the olivocerebellar neural circuitry to investigate its capability to generate rhythmic activity at gamma frequency (40 Hz). The design of the model has a general organization corresponding to that hypothesized by neurobiologists. The cerebellar circuitry is modeled as a dynamical system using cell prototypes similar to the ones used in artificial neural networks, whereas the olivary cells were represented with simple 'on/off' units. The model works as a unit that converts the irregular and low frequency spikes originating from the olivary cells into regular spikes at 40 Hz at the level of the dentate cells. The success of the model indicates that the olivocerebellar circuitry has the physiological properties to be able to generate such rhythmic activity., Papers from 23rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, October 25-28, 2001, held in Istanbul, Turkey.

3. On the q-Bernstein Polynomials

Author: DOKUZ EYLUL UNIV IZMIR (TURKEY) DEPT OF MATHEMATICS, Oruc, Halil, Tuncer, Necibe, DOKUZ EYLUL UNIV IZMIR (TURKEY) DEPT OF MATHEMATICS, Oruc, Halil, and Tuncer, Necibe
Abstract: We discuss here recent developments on the convergence of the q-Bernstein polynomials B(sub n)f which replaces the classical Bernstein polynomial with a one parameter family of polynomials. In addition, the convergence of iterates and iterated Boolean sum of q-Bernstein polynomial will be considered. Moreover a q-difference operator D(sub q)f defined by D(sub q)f = fX,QX is applied to q-Bernstein polynomials. This gives us some results which complement those concerning derivatives of Bernstein polynomials. It is shown that, with the parameter 0 is less than q is less than or equal to 1, if the change in k, f(sub r) is greater than or equal to 0 then D(k)(sub q)B(sub n)f is greater than or equal to 0. If f is monotonic so is D(sub q)B(sub n)f. If f is convex then D(2)(sub q)B(sub n)f is greater than or equal to 0., The original document contains color images.

Abstract: WOS: 000398055300002, We investigate theoretically the intense laser-induced optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes in a two-dimensional quantum pseudodot system under an uniform magnetic field. The effects of non-resonant, monochromatic intense laser field upon the system are treated within the framework of high-frequency Floquet approach in which the system is supposed to be governed by a laser-dressed potential. Linear and nonlinear absorption coefficients and relative changes in the refractive index are obtained by means of the compact-density matrix approach and iterative method. The results of numerical calculations for a typical GaAs quantum dot reveal that the optical response depends strongly on the magnitude of external magnetic field and characteristic parameters of the confinement potential. Moreover, we have demonstrated that the intense laser field modifies the confinement and thereby causes remarkable changes in the linear and nonlinear optical properties of the system.

7. Rashba spin-orbit coupling effects on the optical properties of double quantum wire under magnetic field

Abstract: WOS: 000376213000005, We investigate the effects of Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes associated with transitions between the first two lower-lying electronic levels in double quantum wire. The wire system represented by a symmetric, double quartic-well confinement potential is subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field. The analytical expressions of the linear and third-order nonlinear optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes are obtained by using the compact density matrix formalism and iterative scheme. Optical properties are investigated as a function of structural parameter, magnetic field, Rashba spin-orbit interaction and photon energies. Numerical results reveal that competing effects between spin-orbit interaction and magnetic field modify strongly the optical properties and can be altered by these parameters. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

8. Effects of an in-plane magnetic field on the energy dispersion, spin texturing and conductance of double quantum wires

Abstract: WOS: 000372559600045, We investigate the electronic structure, spin and transport properties of double quantum wires formed by a symmetric, double quartic-well potential subjected to an in-plane magnetic field by taking into account Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings. The energy dispersion relation of the system is analyzed for different strengths of spin-orbit interactions, magnitude and direction of magnetic field. Our numerical results reveal that the existence of aforementioned parameters modifies strongly the energy band structure, introduces a wave vector dependence to energies and also leads to crossings and anticrossings between subbands. This complex structure of energy dispersion gives rise to the appearance of square-wave like oscillations in the conductance. The spin-orbit couplings, magnetic field, potential profile and Fermi energy of an electron significantly affect the depth and width of conductance steps. Moreover, we found that the competing effect between spin-orbit couplings and magnetic field leaves its marks on the spin texturing. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: WOS: 000466619600006 PubMed ID: 30851280 Event-related oscillatory responses reflect the cognitive status in many neuropsychiatric conditions including mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In this study, a total of 30 patients with amnestic MCI (aMCI) and 25 patients with MCI of Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) were compared with 28 aged-, gender-, education-matched healthy control (HC) participants using visual event-related delta, theta, alpha oscillatory responses by methods of event related spectral perturbation and inter-trial coherence. PD-MCI and aMCI groups commonly share a decreased theta power, but all electrophysiological deviations from the controls were more prominent in PD-MCI than aMCI in all frequency bands. Additionally, decreased phase-locking in all studied frequency bands was encountered only in PD-MCI group, but it was preserved in aMCI. These findings indicate that visual networks in PD-MCI are more severely affected than aMCI. Reduced phase-locking in PD-MCI may possibly relate to dysfunctioning subcortical modulating centers that take a role in the generation of event-related responses.

Laser field effect is treated within the high-frequency Floquet approach and the analytical expression of the THG coefficient is deduced from the compact density-matrix approach. The numerical results demonstrate that the application of intense laser field causes substantial changes on the behavior of THG. In addition the position and magnitude of the resonant peak of THG coefficient is significantly affected by the magnetic field, quantum dot size and the characteristic parameters of the impurity potential.

Abstract: WOS: 000424245200019 PubMed ID: 29439335 The present study tested the hypothesis that cortical sources of resting state eyes-closed electroencephalographic (rsEEG) rhythms reveal different abnormalities in cortical neural synchronization in groups of patients with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (ADMCI) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLBMCI) as compared to cognitively normal elderly (Nold) subjects. Clinical and rsEEG data in 30 ADMCI, 23 DLBMCI, and 30 Nold subjects were available in an international archive. Age, gender, and education were carefully matched in the three groups. The Mini-Mental State Evaluation (MMSE) score was matched between the ADMCI and DLBMCI groups. Individual alpha frequency peak (IAF) was used to determine the delta, theta, alpha1, alpha2, and alpha3 frequency band ranges. Fixed beta1, beta2, and gamma bands were also considered. eLORETA estimated the rsEEG cortical sources. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROCC) classified these sources across individuals. Compared to Nold, IAF showed marked slowing in DLBMCI and moderate in ADMCI. Furthermore, the posterior alpha 2 and alpha 3 source activities were more abnormal in the ADMCI than the DLBMCI group, while widespread delta source activities were more abnormal in the DLBMCI than the ADMCI group. The posterior delta and alpha sources correlated with the MMSE score and correctly classified the Nold and MCI individuals (area under the ROCC > 0.85). In conclusion, the ADMCI and DLBMCI patients showed different features of cortical neural synchronization at delta and alpha frequencies underpinning brain arousal and vigilance in the quiet wakefulness. Future prospective cross-validation studies will have to test the clinical validity of these rsEEG markers. H2020 Marie S.

Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Mild Cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia may come along with the disease. New indicators are necessary for detecting patients that are likely to develop dementia. Electroencephalogram (EEG) Delta responses are one of the essential electrophysiological indicators that could show the cognitive decline. Many research in literature showed an increase of delta responses with the increased cognitive load. Furthermore, delta responses were decreased in MCI and Alzheimer disease in comparison to healthy controls during cognitive paradigms. There was no previous study that analyzed the delta responses in PD patients with cognitive deficits. The present study aims to fulfill this important gap. 32 patients with Parkinson's disease (12 of them were without any cognitive deficits, 10 of them were PD with MCI, and 10 of them were PD with dementia) and 16 healthy subjects were included in the study. Auditory simple stimuli and Auditory Oddball Paradigms were applied. The maximum amplitudes of each subject's delta response (0.5-3.5 Hz) in 0-600 ms were measured for each electrode and for each stimulation. There was a significant stimulation x group effect [F(df = 6; 88 = 3,21; p < 0.015; eta(2)(p) = 0.180], which showed that the difference between groups was specific to the stimulation. Patients with Parkinson's disease (including PD without cognitive deficit, PD with MCI, and PD with dementia) had reduced delta responses than healthy controls upon presentation of target stimulation (p < 0.05, for all comparisons). On the other hand, this was not the case for non-target and simple auditory stimulation. Furthermore, delta responses gradually decrease according to the cognitive impairment in patients with PD. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that cognitive decline in PD could be represented with decreased event related delta responses during cognitive stimulations. Furthermore, the present study once more strengthens the hypothesis that decrease of delta oscillatory responses could be the candidate of a general electrophysiological indicator for cognitive impairment., Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK)

Abstract: WOS: 000447980700002 PubMed ID: 29961173 PurposeTo investigate the impact of the pelvic dimensions and tumor volume on surgery in locally advanced rectal cancer.MethodsPatients who underwent open surgery after neoadjuvant long-course chemoradiation for primary rectal cancer were included. The predictive value of magnetic resonance-based pelvic measurements and tumor volume on the surgical difficulty and oncologic outcome were analyzed.Results125 patients were included. The independent risk factors related to the circumferential resection margin status were the pT stage [odds ratio (OR) 3.64, confidence interval (CI) 1.409-7.327] and tumor volume after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (OR 1.59, CI 1.018-2.767). The operative time (p=0.014, OR 1.453) and pelvic depth (p=0.023, OR 1.116) were independent predictive factors for anastomotic leak. The median follow-up was 72 (2-113) months. Local recurrence was seen in 17 (14.1%) patients. Anastomotic leak (OR 1.799, CI 0.978-3.277), the circumferential resection margin status (OR 3.217, CI 1.262-7.870) and the relative tumor volume rate (OR 1.260, CI 1.004-1.912) were independent prognosticators of local recurrence. The 5-year overall survival was 66.7%. The circumferential resection margin status (hazard ratio: 4.739, CI 2.276-9.317), pN stage (OR 3.267, CI 1.195-8.930) and relative tumor volume rate (OR 2.628, CI 1.042-6.631) were independent prognostic factors for the overall survival.ConclusionsRelative dimensions of the tumor in the pelvis influence the local recurrence and overall survival rates. Magnetic resonance-based measurements can predict the difficulty of surgery and allow surgeons to consider the appropriate surgical approach.

Abstract: WOS: 000423886800011, We study the influence of electric field on the electronic energy band structure, zero-temperature ballistic conductivity and optical properties of double quantum wire. System described by double well anharmonic confinement potential is exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field and Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. Numerical results show up that the combined effects of internal and external agents cause the formation of crossing, anticrossing, camel-back/anomaly structures and the lateral, downward/upward shifts in the energy dispersion. The anomalies in the energy subbands give rise to the oscillation patterns in the ballistic conductance, and the energy shifts bring about the shift in the peak positions of optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes.

Abstract: WOS: 000427485900009 PubMed ID: 29448151 Objective: This study tested the hypothesis that markers of functional cortical source connectivity of resting state eyes-closed electroencephalographic (rsEEG) rhythms may be abnormal in subjects with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's (ADMCI) and Parkinson's (PDMCI) diseases compared to healthy elderly subjects (Nold). Methods: rsEEG data had been collected in ADMCI, PDMCI, and Nold subjects (N = 75 for any group). eLORETA freeware estimated functional lagged linear connectivity (LLC) from rsEEG cortical sources. Area under receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve indexed the accuracy in the classification of Nold and MCI individuals. Results: Posterior interhemispheric and widespread intrahemispheric alpha LLC solutions were abnormally lower in both MCI groups compared to the Nold group. At the individual level, AUROC curves of LLC solutions in posterior alpha sources exhibited moderate accuracies (0.70-0.72) in the discrimination of Nold vs. ADMCI-PDMCI individuals. No differences in the LLC solutions were found between the two MCI groups. Conclusions: These findings unveil similar abnormalities in functional cortical connectivity estimated in widespread alpha sources in ADMCI and PDMCI. This was true at both group and individual levels. Significance: The similar abnormality of alpha source connectivity in ADMCI and PDMCI subjects might reflect common cholinergic impairment.

Abstract: WOS: 000450847400001, Greek-Turkish boundary near the cities Kos and Bodrum has been shaken on July 20, 2017 by a Mw6.6 earthquake. The mainshock is located offshore and did not generate an on-land surface rupture. Analyzing pre-and post-earthquake continuous/survey-type static GPS observations, we investigated co-seismic surface displacements at 20 sites to characterize source parameters and slip-distribution of the mainshock. Fault plane solutions as well as co-seismic slip distribution have been acquired through the inversion of co-seismic GPS displacements modeling the event as elastic dislocations in a half space. Fault plane solution shows a southward dipping normal-type fault segment extending a depth down to similar to 12 km, which remains within the brittle upper crust. Results from the distributed slip inversion show that the mainshock activated a similar to 65 km fault section, which has three high slip patches, namely western, central and eastern patches, where the coseismic slips reach up to 13, 26, and 5 cm, respectively. This slip pattern indicates that the pre-earthquake coupling, which is storing the slip deficit, occurred on these three patches., Research Foundation of Afyon Kocatepe University [17.FEN.BIL.35], This work was supportted by Research Foundation of Afyon Kocatepe University [project number 17.FEN.BIL.35].

Abstract: WOS: 000410633400033, In this research, we present the effects of high-frequency intense laser field on the third-harmonic generation associated with intersubband transitions in a two-dimensional quantum pseudodot system subjected to an uniform external magnetic field. Non-resonant monochromatic laser radiation with circular polarization is considered within the framework of high-frequency Floquet approach. On the basis of the compact-density matrix approach and an iterative method, the third-harmonic generation coefficient is calculated. The results presented for a GaAs quantum dot show that: (i) the position and magnitude of the resonant peak of third-harmonic generation depend strongly on magnetic field, the chemical potential and zero-point of pseudoharmonic potential; (ii) the strength of intense laser field modifies the confinement potential which results in considerable changes in the nonlinear optical response of the system.

Abstract: WOS: 000295250700005, This work studies the influences of both surface-finishing forms and cement-filling on the durability of dimension limestone in cold regions. Freeze-thaw cycles, aqueous saline solution and their interactions with surface-finishing forms and cement-filling on stones were investigated for two types of porous limestone, Caribbean and Pewter Blend. Both deionised water and saline water composed of 20% NaCl by weight were used, and 28 freeze-thaw cycles were applied to the samples. The change in dry weight, porosity, and Bohme abrasion loss value was obtained for all test samples. It was observed that two types of porous limestone with cement-filling and different types of surface-finishing were influenced to different extents by freeze-thaw and salt. Experiments showed that stones to be used outdoors in cold regions should have relatively low initial porosity and that they should be fine-finished and cement-filled; these modifications to the stones will maximise the benefit received from the stones.

Abstract: WOS: 000377538000300, PubMed: 25489775, The genus Anatololacerta (Lacertidae) occurs mainly in Anatolia (western and southern Turkey) and on the Aegean islands Samos, Ikaria, and Rhodos. Although its taxonomy has long been debated and is currently nascent, three morphological species have been attributed to this genus: Anatololacerta anatolica, Anatololacerta oertzeni, and Anatololacerta danfordi. Here, we investigated the evolutionary history of A. oertzeni and Anatololacerta danfordi based on both mitochondrial and nuclear markers (16S rRNA and cmos). In total, 34 Anatololacerta specimens were analyzed using maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods. Our results supported the presence of four well-supported lineages: two belongs to A. oertzeni and two to A. danfordi. The temporal diversification of these lineages probably started with the divergence of the first A. oertzeni lineage from western Antalya at 7.9 Mya. The other two major splits may have occurred in early Pliocene (4.4 Mya: the divergence of the second A. oertzeni from A. danfordi) and in late Pliocene (2.7 Mya: the divergence of the two lineages of A. danfordi). The phylogeographical scenario suggests that the major diversification events (from late Miocene to late Pliocene) could be related with climatic oscillations (such as the late Miocene aridification and the Messinian Salinity Crisis) and tectonic movements (such as the uplift of the central Taurus mountain)., TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) [112T269], This study was a part of the project supported by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) with Project number 112T269.

Abstract: WOS: 000377228700010, In this work, we investigate the intersubband optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes for transitions between the lower-lying electronic levels of double quantum wires formed by a symmetric, double quartic-well potential. The system is subjected to an external in-plane magnetic field and Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit couplings are taken into account. The analytical expressions of the linear and nonlinear absorption coefficients and refractive index changes are obtained by using the compact density-matrix approach and iterative method. The dependence of the optical characteristics on the magnetic field, spin-orbit interactions, quantum wire radius, structural parameter and photon energies has been examined. Numerical results exhibit that the optical properties are considerably sensitive to the strength and orientation of magnetic field as well as to the spin-orbit couplings and thus can be controlled by these parameters.

Abstract: WOS: 000359873200042, We investigate the effects of Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the electronic energy dispersion and zero-temperature ballistic conductance of double quantum wire under the influence,of perpendicular magnetic field. The wire system is represented by a symmetric, double quartic-well confinement potential. Numerical results reveal that competing effects between spin-orbit interaction and magnetic field modify strongly the energy subband structure and introduce anticrossings between subbands. Moreover, it is found that the conductance character of a quasi-one-dimensional ballistic conductor, which is closely related to the energy-dispersion spectrum, is very sensitive to the shape of potential profile, magnetic field and Rashba spin-orbit coupling.

Abstract: WOS: 000288959600009, PubMed ID: 20946338, Background and objective: Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis is common, and is almost always associated with concomitant thoracic involvement. Extrapulmonary manifestations vary on the basis of gender, age at presentation and ethnicity. The aim of this study was to investigate extrapulmonary involvement in patients with sarcoidosis in Turkey. Methods: This study was conducted by Turkish Thoracic Society Clinical Problems Study Group. New cases of sarcoidosis between 1 June 2004 and 31 May 2006 were recorded on electronic case record forms sent to all potential investigators and information about extrapulmonary involvement was collected. Results: One hundred and nineteen of 293 patients (83 female, 36 male, mean age = 45 +/- 12 years) had extrapulmonary involvement in this study (40.6%). The median time to diagnosis was 6 months and this was longer than patients with just thoracic sarcoidosis (P = 0.001). Extrapulmonary symptoms were present in 181 (61.8%) patients, and skin lesions, arthralgia and back pain were the commonest (33.4%, 20.8% and 16.4%, respectively). Incidence of organ involvement was independent of age with the exception of ocular involvement, which was higher in those under the age of 40 years (P = 0.007). Conclusions: Skin and peripheral lymph node involvement were the most common sites of extrapulmonary involvement and ocular involvement was more common in those under the age of 40 years in patients with sarcoidosis in a Turkish population.

Abstract: WOS: 000270239900015, The purpose of this study is to develop the Metacognition Scale (MS) which is designed for primary school students. The sample of the study consisted of 426 primary school students in Izmir, Turkey. In order to examine the construct validity of the MS, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed. For the validity of the MI, corrected item-total correlations were used. The corrected item-total correlations ranged from .35 to .65. In addition, t-tests between items' means of upper 27% and lower 27% points were compared. For each factor and each item, the differences between mean scores of upper 27% and lover 27% groups are significant. Finally, Cronbach alpha correlation coefficients were used. The internal consistency of the MS is .96 for the entire scale. The MS has eight scales: declarative knowledge, procedural knowledge and conditional knowledge, planning, self-control, cognitive strategies, self assessment and self monitoring. According to these findings, the MS is appropriate for researchers or teachers whose aim is to measure his/her students' metacognitive awareness and metacognitive abilities.

Abstract: WOS: 000265669100055, Fracture energy of a material has a great importance in determining the resistance of a material to crack propagation. The starting point in fracture mechanics analysis is to consider a crack of a certain size located in a component or specimen. The pure tensile specimen, e.g., SENT (single edge notch tension), has the lowest constraint, while specimens dominated by bending have the highest constraint. In this paper, fracture energy of core and veneer ceramic interface was investigated by a laboratory testing and finite element models. For this purpose, the core and veneering ceramic (IPS Empress 2) was prepared with initial notch. Its fracture energy was measured experimentally by using the crack mouth-opening displacement (CMOD) method. The fracture toughness of core and veneer ceramic at room temperature was investigated experimentally using SENT specimens. The finite element study was also carried out by using 2-D model to calculate the fracture energy (J) value numerically with ANSYS finite element code. The result calculated using the CMOD method has been compared with the finite element method results. Comparison of the results illustrated a good agreement between experimental and numerical studies. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: WOS: 000240759900034, The aim of this study is to investigate residual stresses occurred during cooling procedure of ZrO2 insulation coating, on Ag substrate for magnet technologies. ZrO2 coatings were produced on Ag tape substrate by using a reel-to-reel sol-gel technique. SEM inspection showed that ZrO2 coatings had mosaic structures. ANSYS finite element software was used to calculate the temperature and stress distribution of the ZrO2/Ag structure. The effect of coating thickness on residual stresses was also examined. The results obtained showed that thermal stresses in ZrO2 coating and Ag substrate were considerably affected by the cooling time and coating thickness. It is concluded the thermal stresses increase with increase of film thickness. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: WOS: 000458815300063, PubMed ID: 30764987, In the present work, the effect of non-resonant intense laser field on the nonlinear optical rectification and second and third harmonic generation of n-type double delta-doped GaAs quantum well is studied in detail. The energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of this structure are calculated within the framework of effective mass and envelope function approximations. Analytic formulas for the coefficients of nonlinear optical rectification and second and third harmonic generation are obtained using the compact-density matrix approach (CDMA) and iterative method. Based on this model, our obtained numerical results are reported as a function of incident photon energy for several values of non-resonant intense laser field. The results show that the coefficients of nonlinear optical rectification and second and third harmonic generation are strongly affected by the non-resonant intense laser field.

Abstract: WOS: 000457720900013, We have investigated the binding energies of the s-symmetric ground and first excited shallow donor impurity states and the total 1s -> 2s absorption coefficient, including the first and third order corrections, in "12-6" tuned GaAs/GaAlAs double quantum well as a function of the impurity position, size of the structure, and the electric and magnetic field intensities. The obtained results show that the electronic and optical properties of tuned GaAs/GaAlAs double quantum well can be adjustable by an appropriate choice of the sample geometry, material parameters and applied external fields which will lead to new potential applications in optoelectronics., Colombian Agency: CODI-Universidad de Antioquia (Estrategia de Sostenibilidad de la Universidad de Antioquia); Colombian Agency: Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales-Universidad de Antioquia (CAD-exclusive dedication project 2017-2018); Cumhuriyet University (CUBAP) [F-557], This research was partially supported by Colombian Agencies: CODI-Universidad de Antioquia (Estrategia de Sostenibilidad de la Universidad de Antioquia) and Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales-Universidad de Antioquia (CAD-exclusive dedication project 2017-2018).

Abstract: WOS: 000462810600047, In the present paper, we theoretically investigate the effect of applied external fields, such as electric, magnetic, and intense terahertz laser fields on the optical absorption and the relative refractive index change coefficients of triple delta-doped quantum well structures. To investigate the applied external field effects, we perform the calculation of the allowed subband energy levels and their corresponding eigen-functions using the diagonalization method within the framework of the effective-mass approximation. The effects of the applied external fields on the nonlinear optical properties of the quantum well structure are treated within the compact-density-matrix approach via the iterative method. The numerical results obtained are presented for two different values of electric, magnetic, and intense terahertz laser fields. These results show that changing the intensity of the external electric, magnetic, and intense terahertz laser field. It is concluded that the nonlinear optical response of the triple delta-doped structure can be significantly changed through the changes in the configuration of the external probes.

Abstract: Made available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T15:08:19Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-09 Wellcome Trust From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution. In East and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the underweight tail of the BMI distribution was left behind as the distribution shifted. There is a need for policies that address all forms of malnutrition by making healthy foods accessible and affordable, while restricting unhealthy foods through fiscal and regulatory restrictions.

Abstract: WOS: 000457181600008 Intelligent traffic systems attempt to solve the problem of traffic congestion, which is one of the most important environmental and economic issues of urban life. In this study, we approach this problem via prediction of traffic status using past average traveler speed (ATS). Five different algorithms are proposed for predicting the traffic status. They are applied to real data provided by the Traffic Control Center of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. Algorithm 1 predicts future ATS on a highway section based on the past speed information obtained from the same road section. The other proposed algorithms, Algorithms 2 through 5, predict the traffic status as fluent, moderately congested, or congested, again using past traffic state information for the same road segment. Here, traffic states are assigned according to predetermined intervals of ATS values. In the proposed algorithms, ATS values belonging to past five consecutive 10-minute time intervals are used as input data. Performances of the proposed algorithms are evaluated in terms of root mean square error (RMSE), sample accuracy, balanced accuracy, and processing time. Although the proposed algorithms are relatively simple and require only past speed values, they provide fairly reliable results with noticeably low prediction errors.

Abstract: WOS: 000454742000015, We show that the height density of a finite sum of fractions is zero. In fact, we give quantitative estimates in terms of the height function. Then, we focus on the unit fraction solutions in the ring of integers of a given number field. In particular, we prove that finitely many representations of 1 as a sum of unit fractions determines the field of rational numbers among all real number fields. Finally, using non-standard methods, we prove some density and finiteness results on a finite sum of fractions., Nesin Mathematics Village, The authors would like to thank Nesin Mathematics Village for their support and warm hospitality.

Abstract: WOS: 000449621100040, A theoretical study of the effects of non-resonant intense laser field on the optical response in a Gaussian potential quantum well is performed in the framework of the effective mass approximation. The obtained results indicate that, the depth and range of the considered confinement potential and intense laser field intensity has a significant effect on the optical properties in Gaussian potential quantum wells. Also it was found that the laser field is more effective on the optical response in Gaussian potential quantum wells with smaller range.

Abstract: WOS: 000453790600009, PubMed: 30010392, The typing of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is important from a clinical and epidemiological perspective. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction enzyme analysis (PRA) method and DNA sequence analysis method were utilized to target a gene region that codes the 65-kDa heat-shock protein for typing 150 suspected NTM samples isolated from the respiratory tract. Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium xenopi, Mycobacterium fortuitum, and Mycobacterium peregrinum were most frequently found by both methods. Six isolates that could not be defined by the PRA method were defined as Nocardia cyriacigeorgica, Nocardia abscessus, and Mycobacterium intracellulare by DNA sequence analysis. Discordance between the results of the two methods was observed for only one isolate. The isolate that was defined as Mycobacterium gordonae type 6 by the PRA method was defined as Mycobacterium senegalense by sequence analysis. The PRA method is simple and gives rapid results. Compared with DNA sequence analysis, it gives consistent and reliable results up to a ratio of 90%. DNA sequence analysis is the gold standard method in which all strains can be defined. However, given our laboratory conditions, its disadvantage is that it takes longer to reach a diagnosis than through the PRA method.

Abstract: WOS: 000436446900004, In this work, the effects of the structure parameters, such as the central barrier thickness and the aluminium concentrations x, on the linear and nonlinear intersubband optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes of the asymmetric double-graded quantum wells (ADGQWs) under the presence of an external static electric field are studied theoretically. The nonlinear optical properties of the ADGQWs are obtained using the compact-density matrix approach and iterative method. The numerical results obtained from the present work show that the external static electric field and the structure parameters play an important role in the optical properties of ADGQWs.

Abstract: WOS: 000411546800020, The effects of electric and magnetic fields on the second and third harmonic generation coefficients in a Morse potential quantum well are theoretically studied. The energy levels and corresponding wave functions are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation for the electron in the parabolic band scheme and effective mass approximations and the envelope function approach. The results show that both the electric and the magnetic fields have significant influence on the magnitudes and resonant peak energy positions of the second and third harmonic generation responses. In general, the Morse potential profile becomes wider and shallower as gamma-parameter increases and so the energies of the bound states will be functions of this parameter. Therefore, we can conclude that the effects of the electric and magnetic fields can be used to tune and control the optical properties of interest in the range of the infrared electromagnetic spectrum.

Abstract: WOS: 000406747800006, PubMed ID: 31294171, Biodegradation requires identification of hydrocarbon degrading microbes and the investigation of psychrotolerant hydrocarbon degrading microbes is essential for successful biodegradation in cold seawater. In the present study, a total of 597 Bacillus isolates were screened to select psychrotolerant strains and 134 isolates were established as psychrotolerant on the basis of their ability to grow at 7 degrees C. Hydrocarbon degradation capacities of these 134 psychrotolerant isolate were initially investigated on agar medium containing different hydrocarbons (naphthalene, n-hexadecane, mineral oil) and 47 positive isolates were grown in broth medium containing hydrocarbons at 20 degrees C under static culture. Bacterial growth was estimated in terms of viable cell count (cfu ml(-1)). Isolates showing the best growth in static culture were further grown in presence of crude oil under shaking culture and viable cell count was observed between 8.3 x 10(5)-7.4 x 10(8) cfu ml-1. In the final step, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) (chrysene and naphthalene) degradation yield of two most potent isolates was determined by GC-MS along with the measurement of pH, biomass and emulsification activities. Results showed that isolates Ege B.6.2i and Ege B.1.4Ka have shown 60% and 36% chrysene degradation yield, respectively, while 33% and 55% naphthalene degradation yield, respectively, with emulsification activities ranges between 33-50%. These isolates can be used to remove hydrocarbon contamination from different environments, particularly in cold regions., Dokuz Eylul University Research Foundation (BAP)Dokuz Eylul University; Scientific Research Foundation of Dokuz Eylul UniversityDokuz Eylul University [2007.KB.FEN.057], The authors wish to thank to Dokuz Eylul University Research Foundation (BAP) for the supporting the project namely "Removal of Petrochemical Industry Wastewaters in Anaerobic and Aerobic sequentials".

Abstract: WOS: 000465001500024, In this present work a detailed theoretical study on the influence of the static electric, magnetic, and nonresonant intense THz laser fields on the nonlinear optical properties such as nonlinear optical rectification (NOR) and second harmonic generation (SHG), of a quantum well that has the Woods-Saxon potential profile. The static electric and high-frequency intense THz laser fields are applied along the growth-direction of the structure whilst the static magnetic field is applied perpendicular to them. The outcome of the numerical calculation demonstrates that, both the peak potions of the NOR and SHG coefficients exhibit a blue-shift with the increment of the static electric and magnetic fields, but their peak amplitudes increases with the magnitude of the electric field whilst decreases with the magnitude of the magnetic field. However, the peak positions of the NOR and SHG coefficients exhibit firstly a blue-shift, and then a red-shift with the increment of the laser intensity, but their peak amplitudes increases. We hope that these theoretical results will be useful for designing new optoelectronic devices with a performance tailored by the adjustment of the applied fields.

Abstract: WOS: 000457429700005, A detailed theoretical study on the electron-related optical responses in triple delta-doped GaAs quantum wells in the presence of non-resonant, monochromatic intense laser field is presented. For this purpose, we first obtained the bound subband energy levels and their corresponding envelope wave functions of the structure for different central doping concentrations within the effective-mass approximation. Then, we calculate the effect of the non-resonant intense laser field on the optical properties of this structure using the compact-density-matrix approach via the iterative method. We found that the optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes in the triple delta-doped GaAs quantum well can be modulated by changing the central doping concentration and the intensity of the non-resonant, monochromatic laser field. In addition, it is shown that a sufficiently intense laser field suppresses the multiple quantum well configuration towards a single potential well one and the optical response becomes practically independent of the delta-doping concentration.

Abstract: WOS: 000454472000163, In the present study we have investigated the bound energy levels and intersubband optical transitions in the Tietz-Hua quantum well for a spatially varying effective mass distribution. The energy levels and eigenfunctions are obtained by solving the effective mass equation through a variational approach. The obtained numerical calculations show that the spatially varying effective mass has a significant effect on the subband energies and transitions between the sub bands in the Tietz-Hua quantum well. We conclude that, the energy levels and hence energy differences between the subband states decrease with increasing the stability and uniformity of the effective mass and eventually converge to the results of the constant effective mass. Furthermore, it was found that the size of the Tietz-Hua quantum well has an important effect on optical responses based on the intersubband transitions and additionally, the asymmetrical form of the Tietz-Hua quantum well is more predominant in stable and uniform effective mass case.

Abstract: WOS: 000474931400001, PubMed ID: 30934986, Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide and, despite continuous advances, better diagnostic and prognostic tools, as well as therapy, are needed. The human transcriptome, which is the set of all RNA produced in a cell, is much more complex than previously thought and the lack of dialogue between researchers and industrials and consensus on guidelines to generate data make it harder to compare and reproduce results. This European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action aims to accelerate the understanding of transcriptomics in CVD and further the translation of experimental data into usable applications to improve personalized medicine in this field by creating an interdisciplinary network. It aims to provide opportunities for collaboration between stakeholders from complementary backgrounds, allowing the functions of different RNAs and their interactions to be more rapidly deciphered in the cardiovascular context for translation into the clinic, thus fostering personalized medicine and meeting a current public health challenge. Thus, this Action will advance studies on cardiovascular transcriptomics, generate innovative projects, and consolidate the leadership of European research groups in the field. COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding organization for research and innovation networks (www.cost.eu)., COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action EU-CardioRNA [CA17129], This work is supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action EU-CardioRNA CA17129. YD is the chair and CE is the vice-chair of the European COST Action CA17129, CardioRNA.
