Article An Information Retrieval-Based Regression Test Selection Technique(Springer International Publishing, 2023) Erşahin, B.; Erşahin, M.Regression testing (RT) is the crucial part of the software testing process. It is applied after a bug fix or a change in the functionality of the codebase. The main goal is to ensure that the modified software has the desired outcome and does not cause adverse effects in other parts of the software. RT may be costly depending on the test’s quantity and complexity. Therefore, regression test selection (RTS) can be introduced to minimize these costs. RTS runs only the test cases related to the modified parts of the software. Currently, various RTS studies focus on compiled languages such as Java, C/C++, and C#, and they mostly rely on direct code dependency between tests and the system under test. In this study, we have introduced a new RTS tool called Smartest to reduce the number of selected integration tests. Former RTS tools were focused mainly on unit tests according to dependencies of modified source files. Smartest is the first RTS tool that works for software written in JavaScript and can select integration tests written in natural language by the quality assurance team. Smartest is tested on three commercial projects and observed that it picks 13% of all test cases on average. Experiments show that Smartest minimizes the selected integration tests on RTS processes, although it does not use file-level code dependency. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Immobilization Techniques Applicable To Sourdough(Springer International Publishing, 2024) Agirbasli,Z.; Elvan,M.; Harsa,S.[No abstract available]Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Serendipitous Explorations in Distributed Work in Parametric Design(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Altintas,L.E.; Kasali,A.; Dogan,F.This study reports a case involving computational practices in architectural design to understand designers' explorations using parametric modeling tools in collaborative work environment. The objective is to understand how parametric modeling tools enable serendipitous design solutions in a distributed cognitive system. Following an ethnographic approach, we have investigated the nature of the interactions among team members as they produce and propagate a series of design representations. We have focused on how architectural design teams manage design development processes and how teams manage serendipity as the system creates multiple alternatives in an explorative setting. The episodes presented in this paper support the argument that parametric modeling practices facilitate serendipitous discoveries at various steps by offering multiple alternatives among which designers identify solutions in an opportunistic manner. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

An experimental comparison was conducted to test the impact of the order in which students used specific reasoning strategies in a series of design tasks. The results provide insights into the order in which these forms of reasoning can be introduced to students in design studio education. The results indicate that when students first conduct a free exploration of the given design problem before asked to use one of the reasoning strategies above their creative performance is higher. It is proposed that familiar ization with a given problem freely prepare students for a structured design explo ration following either rule-based or associative reasoning strategy. We conclude that the creative performance gets better when students first explore the design problem on their own before getting introduced to a specific form of reasoning strategy. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

Certain security evaluation issues have been addressed as well. In particular, the reason behind why modern lightweight block cipher designs have in the last decade overwhelmingly dominated stream cipher design is analyzed in terms of security against tradeoff attacks. It turns out that it is possible to design stream ciphers having much smaller internal states. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2021.Book Part Selected Design and Analysis Techniques for Contemporary Symmetric Encryption(Springer International Publishing, 2021) Mikhalev,V.; Mihaljević,M.J.; Kara,O.; Armknecht,F.In this chapter we provide an overview of selected methods for the design and analysis of symmetric encryption algorithms that have recently been published. We start by discussing the practical advantages, limitations and security of the keystream generators with keyed update functions which were proposed for reducing the area cost of stream ciphers. Then we present an approach to enhancing the security of certain encryption schemes by employing a universal homophonic coding and randomized encryption paradigm. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2021.Book Part Medical Geology Outreach: a Major Success Story From Turkey(Springer International Publishing, 2021) Baba,A.; Finkelman,R.B.It is incumbent upon medical geology practitioners to reach out to students, science faculties, decision makers, and the biomedical/public health communities to promote this emerging discipline. Perhaps the most successful of these efforts have taken place in Turkey where medical geology courses have been offered in four medical and ten engineering faculties. As a result of these outreach efforts by the Turkish medical geology community for the past decade, there has been robust interactions with scientists from many disciplines and collaborative research on groundwater quality, asbestos, radon, arsenic, mesothelioma, fluorosis, etc. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Naturally Occurring Arsenic and Boron in Geothermal Systems and Their Health Effects: a Case Study From Turkey(Springer International Publishing, 2021) Baba,A.; Recepoglu,Y.K.; Yazdani,H.Human beings have benefited from geothermal energy for different uses since the dawn of civilization in many parts of the world. However, the highest concentrations of naturally occurring aqueous arsenic (As) and boron (B) are found in certain types of geothermal fluids, generally those related to faults and volcanic activity which have caused wide-ranging alteration from argillic type to silica type. The argillic alteration zones are typically enriched in sulfur in volcanic rocks. Also, epithermal systems, which have a high concentration of As in the form of realgar and orpiment along the fracture zones of metamorphic and carbonate aquifers. On the other hand, B can easily rise to the surface by hydrothermal activity or concentrate in residual magma fluids or coexisting liquid and gas phases depending on the geology. The concentration of As and B in geothermal fluids changes in each geothermal field because of the geological properties of the region. For example, the concentration of As in geothermal fluids ranges from 10 μg/L to 50 mg/L in different parts of world whereas the concentration of B ranges from 0.04 to 119 mg/L. This chapter describes the sources and behavior of As and its relationship to elements such as B and chlorine (Cl−) using data from the samples taken from boiling and warm hot springs and geothermal wells in different geothermal fields in Turkey to evaluate their environmental impacts. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 8Secondary Metabolites From Turkish Astragalus Species(Springer International Publishing, 2019) Gülcemal,D.; Aslanipour,B.; Bedir,E.The genus Astragalus belonging to the Leguminosae family is a widely distributed plant throughout the temperate regions of the world.

In Turkish folk medicine, the aqueous extracts of some Astragalus species are used to treat leukemia as well as for wound healing. The present chapter shall discuss about the secondary metabolites extracted from this plant species along with their uses in eradicating various ailments. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 5Potential of Bacterial Cellulose for Sustainable Cities: a Review and Bibliometric Analysis on Bacterial Cellulose(Springer International Publishing, 2023) Kale, İ.; K, I, Rdök, O.; Bilgi, E.; Akyol-Altun, T.D.; Tokuç, A.; Köktürk, G.; Özkaban, F.This book chapter focuses on bacterial cellulose (BC), with many recent contemporary studies, an explanation of BC producers and synthesis mechanisms, and a summary of their production methods. Few studies are directly related to sustainability with BC, a promising biomaterial for different solutions due to its properties. Thus, a comprehensive review of BC and research trends in this area are evaluated by bibliometric analysis. The distribution of publications by years, influential countries, organizations, journals, authors, citation analysis, distribution of publications by scientific disciplines, keyword analysis, and research focuses are emphasized. Scientific publications were taken from the WoS database, and graphics were created with the “VOSviewer” and “Carrot2” programs. According to the analysis, studies on BC started in 1980, but studies on sustainability were found in 2005 and later. It has also been observed that studies on BC in materials science have increased significantly in 2016 and beyond. Finally, bacterial cellulose has been discussed in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore it can be said that there is a potential for use in the textile, architecture, and food packaging sectors, and more detailed research is still needed. As a result, the dissemination of BC-related studies in these areas has great potential for a completely sustainable production method. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
