Article Citation - Scopus: 21Determination of Superoxide Dismutase Activities in Different Cyanobacteria for Scavenging of Reactive Oxygen Species(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015) Güneş, Seda; Tamburacı, Sedef; İmamoğlu, Esra; Dalay, Meltem ConkThere is considerable interest in cyanobacteria as sources of antioxidant pigments, antiinflammatory substances, enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and vitamins. Antioxidant enzymes have significant role in the removal of reactive oxygen species produced during visible and ultraviolet irradiance stress in cyanobacteria. One of the most ubiquitous protective enzyme is superoxide dismutase (SOD). Most of cyanobacteria are known to have both FeSOD and MnSOD which are associated with photosystem I and II. These enzymes are responsible for scavenging superoxide radicals.Spirulina platensis and Synechococcus nidulans are widely used cyanobacteria as food supplement and cosmetic due to their bioactive compounds. Although the chemical composition of S.platensis has been investigated by many researchers, research on the relationship between protein content and comparison of SOD activity with other cyanobacteria is limited.Among several SOD producing cyanobacteria, the most promising organisms were investigate in terms of SOD activities in this study. The aim of the present work was to investigate and compare the SOD activities of different cyanobacteria including S. platensis, Pseudanabeana sp., S. nidulans and associate with protein contents. SOD activities of these cyanobacteria were determined by xanthine/xanthineoxidase method.Modified Lowry method was used for protein determination. The analysis results showed that the maximum specific SOD activity obtained was 50.4 U/mg from S.nidulans and the minimum specific SOD activity was 18.4 U/mg from Pseudanabeana sp. Total protein amount of S. nidulans, S. platensis, Pseudanabeana sp. was determined as 0.25 mg/ml, 0.27 mg/ml and 0.43 mg/ml respectively. As a result, Synechococcus nidulans was more efficient at scavenging peroxide radicals than Pseudanabeana sp. © 2015, © 2015 Har Krishan Bhalla & Sons.Correction Corrigendum To “ankos Publisher Application System and Its Impact on the E-Resource Evaluation Process” [serials Review 39 (2013) 29–36](Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2013) Bulut, Burcu; Uğur, Handan; Gürdal, Gültekin; Holt, İlkay; Çukadar, Sami; Akbayrak, Emre H.; Çelebi, Mustafa K.[No abstract available]Conference Object Detection of Urban Change Using Remote Sensing and Gis: Izmir Case(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2008) Tarhan, Çiğdem; Arkon, Cemal; Çelik, M.; Gümüştekin, Şevket; Tecim, V.This study is an example of how land use changes could be detected via high resolution remotely sensed data. In order to perform "change detection" IKONOS satellite images, belonging to 2001 and 2004, have been used. An automated Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been created for detection of environment. Different image enhancement techniques and a fuzzy inference system have been combined in the GUI. The detection results are classified according to some basic levels such as 20-50% and 70%. Additionally, four different change detection algorithms have been applied which are pixel-based, object based, feature based. These algorithms have been examined according to change detection levels with different image enhancement techniques. At the end of the study, the results have been compared.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 5High Arsenic Levels in Water Resources Resulting From Alteration Zones: a Case Study From Biga Peninsula, Turkey(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2010) Baba, Alper[No abstract available]Book Part Nucleic acid biochemistry: Food applications(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2010) Kurnaz, Işıl A.; Ceylan, Çağatay[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 19A Suppressed Demand Analysis Method of the Transportation Disadvantaged in Policy Making(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2009) Duvarcı, Yavuz; Mizokami, ShoshiThis paper proposes a method for estimating transportation supply requirements when the suppressed demand of the transportation disadvantaged (TD) can be calculated and added to existing demand for travel. The underlying assumption is that the travel conditions of these TD groups must be equal to the 'conventional' demand, known as 'full release'. Utilising the modelling approach for TD, suppressed demand analysis, diagnosis of difficulties and equity between conventional and disadvantaged groups were realised, while elaborating special cases for the most vulnerable TD groups (such as elderly and disabled persons) and simultaneously identifying areas of difficulty. From the early virtual results, it is concluded that, for the full release of suppressed trips (only a 5% increase), policy makers must be ready to face some financial burdens, requiring coordination of effort to both standardise these TD groups and reduce the costs incurred by operators.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Photon Mapping in Image-Based Visual Comfort Assessments With Bsdf Models of High Resolution(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019) Grobe, Lars OliverData-driven models replicate the irregular Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Functions (BSDFs) of optically Complex Fenestration Systems in daylight simulation. RADIANCE employs the tensor tree to store the BSDF at high directional resolution. Its application in backward ray-tracing is however challenging, since the density of stochastic samples must match the model resolution. BSDF proxy and peak extraction address this problem, but are limited to cases when either the fenestration geometry, or the shape and direction of the transmission peak are known. Photon Mapping is proposed to efficiently sample arbitrary BSDFs from the known sun direction. The existing implementation in RADIANCE is extended to account for light sources and their reflections in the field of view, that are of particular importance for visual comfort assessments. The method achieves a high degree of accordance with ray-tracing, and reduces simulation times by approximate to 95% with data-driven models of high resolution.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Integrally Closed Rings Which Are Prufer(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019) Ay Saylam, BaşakLet R be a commutative ring with zero divisors. It is well known that if R is integrally closed, then R is a Prufer domain if and only if there is an integer n > 1 such that, for all . We soften this result for commutative rings with zero divisors by proving that this integer n does not have to work for all a, b is an element of R.Book Part Teaching a Regional Landscape Project Studio in the Interdisciplinary Setting(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019) Kaplan, Adnan; Velibeyoğlu, KorayRegional and urban landscapes in the age of the Anthropocene need to support recognition of complex and dynamic ecosystems. Water-based regional context and its transformative power at regional and urban scales have been themed on landscape studios of some scholarly works such as G. M. Kondolf et al. and S. Nijhuis and D. Jauslin. The interdisciplinary ‘regional landscape project studio’ follows a didactic approach that combines regional planning and specific mode of regional and urban transformation thinking. The whole idea of the graduate studio is, therefore, to apply landscape infrastructure and the fourth nature into ‘the regional landscape-urban transformation’ equilibrium, as a novel way to healing our living environments. Landscape infrastructure is being explored in urban studies as a concept/reality that expands the traditional set of spatial planning and design strategies towards the multifunctional system. The association of hydrological pattern with natural and urban landscapes calls for site-specific design interventions in some critical cross-section.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Feasible Packing of Granular Materials in Discrete-Element Modelling of Cone-Penetration Testing(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Ecemiş, Nurhan; Bakunowicz, PaulinaThis paper explores how the discrete-element method (DEM) was found to play an increasingly important role in cone penetration test (CPT) where continuum-mechanics-based analysis tools are insufficient. We investigated several crucial features of CPT simulations in the two-dimensional DEM. First, the microparameters (stiffness and friction) of discrete material tailored to mimic clean, saturated sand, which is used in cone-penetration tests, were calibrated by curve-fitting drained triaxial tests. Then, three series of cone-penetration simulations were conducted to explore (1) top boundary conditions, (2) reasonable size of discrete particles at different initial porosities, and (3) limit initial porosity of the model for a balance between accurate representation and computational efficiency. Further, we compared the cone-penetration resistance obtained in the laboratory and numerical simulations for the range of relative densities.
