When we say "the mastery of the grammar", we refer to the mastery of rules which revolve around the structure of the language. The problem arises at that point, actually. In this paper, this problem is going to be dwelled upon analysing a language item. As a matter of fact, this language item can be regarded as a symbol of the problem mentioned above. This language item is "if clauses". "If clauses" are not so easy to cope with since they require a mastery of some structure accompanied with an appropriate situation. The problem arises here, because a clear-cut distinction between the types and usage are not always possible. We ought not to forget that grammar is not the fundamental of the target language, which consists of the finely tuned structural prescriptions only. Language is meaningful as long as it is contextualized. We cannot take over the use of language if it is presented in isolated exercises having a meaningful context. Comprehensive exercises are essential to teach "if clauses". In conclusion, in this paper I intend to suggest a semantic classification of "if clauses" so as to avoid overgeneralization which is a result of the classification of "if clauses" structurally. Making this suggestion, I would like to support it with examples from the works of literature as well. If the classification of the language item in question is made semantically, the comprehension of the subject "if clauses" will be much better. (c) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

In the software developed by the authors, Evolutionary Algorithm method has been applied and university administration's specific improvement requests have also been taken into consideration while developing the software. The developed software has two parts: First part is about collecting data through the web application, and the second part is the application project, which calculates the final scheduling results. By utilizing the software, a considerable amount of time lost by manually preparing exam schedules will be saved. In addition, with the real-time connection to the student automation system database, numerous problems will be vanished, i.e. students/classes exam scheduling conflicts, etc. In the study, tables added to the current student automation system database have been explained. Additionally, by applying the genetic algorithm methods to the various parts of data have been examined along with the constraints used in the application, which are essential parts of the software. User interfaces have been designed with their sample instances. Finally, exam-scheduling table has been created and an example output of the schedule has been generated in the study.Article Citation - WoS: 15Search for Supersymmetry in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV in Events With a Single Lepton, Jets, and Missing Transverse Momentum(Springer, 2013) Chatrchyan, S.; Khachatryan, V.; Sirunyan, A. M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Aguilo, E.; Swanson, J.Results are reported from a search for new physics processes in events containing a single isolated high-transverse-momentum lepton (electron or muon), energetic jets, and large missing transverse momentum. The analysis is based on a 4.98 fb(-1) sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, obtained with the CMS detector at the LHC. Three separate background estimation methods, each relying primarily on control samples in the data, are applied to a range of signal regions, providing complementary approaches for estimating the background yields. The observed yields are consistent with the predicted standard model backgrounds. The results are interpreted in terms of limits on the parameter space for the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the standard model, as well as on cross sections for simplified models, which provide a generic description of the production and decay of new particles in specific, topology based final states.Article Citation - WoS: 36Search for Three-Jet Resonances in pp Collisions at √s=7 TeV(Elsevier, 2012) Chatrchyan, S.; Khachatryan, V.; Sirunyan, A. M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Aguilo, E.; Swanson, J.Results are reported from a search for the production of three-jet resonances in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV. The study uses the data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb(-1). Events with high jet multiplicity and a large scalar sum of jet transverse momenta are analyzed for the presence of resonances in the three-jet invariant mass spectrum. No evidence for a narrow resonance is found in the data, and limits are set on the cross section for gluino pair production in an R-parity-violating supersymmetry model, for gluino masses greater than 280 GeV. Assuming a branching fraction for gluino decay into three jets of 100%, gluino masses below 460 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level. These results significantly extend the range of previous limits. (C) 2012 CERN. Published by Elsevier By.

This study investigated the role of XIST in neuronal development, neuroinflammation, myelination, and therapeutic responses within cerebral organoids in the context of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) pathogenesis. Methods: Human cerebral organoids with oligodendrocytes were produced from XIST-silenced H9 cells, and the mature organoids were subsequently treated with either FTY720 or DMF. Gene expression related to inflammation and myelination was subsequently analyzed via qRT-PCR. Immunofluorescence staining was used to assess the expression of proteins related to inflammation, myelination, and neuronal differentiation. Alpha-synuclein protein levels were also checked via ELISA. Finally, transcriptome analysis was conducted on the organoid samples. Results: XIST-silenced organoids presented a 2-fold increase in the expression of neuronal stem cells, excitatory neurons, microglia, and mature oligodendrocyte markers. In addition, XIST silencing increased IL-10 mRNA expression by 2-fold and MBP and PLP1 expression by 2.3- and 0.6-fold, respectively. Although XIST silencing tripled IBA1 protein expression, it did not affect organoid MBP expression. FTY720, but not DMF, distinguished MBP and IBA1 expression in XIST-silenced organoids. Furthermore, XIST silencing reduced the concentration of alpha-synuclein from 300 to 100 pg/mL, confirming its anti-inflammatory role. Transcriptomic and gene enrichment analyses revealed that the differentially expressed genes are involved in neural development and immune processes, suggesting the role of XIST in neuroinflammation. The silencing of XIST modified the expression of genes associated with inflammation, myelination, and neuronal growth in cerebral organoids, indicating a potential involvement in the pathogenesis of MS. Conclusions: XIST may contribute to the MS pathogenesis as well as neuroinflammatory diseases such as and Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and may be a promising therapeutic target.Article Plasma Proteomic Markers of Interleukin-1β Pathway Associated With Incident Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Persons With Aids(Elsevier, 2025) Hunt, Peter W.; Olshen, Adam B.; Murad, Natalia; Ambayec, Gabrielle C.; Sezgin, Efe; Schneider, Michael F.; Jabs, Douglas A.Objective To evaluate the associations of plasma inflammatory proteins with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in persons with the AIDS, using a discovery-based proteomics approach. Design A nested case-control study (analysis 1) and nested cohort study (analysis 2). Participants Persons with AIDS enrolled in the Longitudinal Study of the Ocular Complications with AIDS (LSOCA). Methods Cryopreserved plasma specimens obtained at baseline were assayed for inflammatory proteins using the Olink Inflammation Explore Panel 1. In analysis 1, baseline proteomic profiles for 26 persons with AIDS and incident intermediate-stage AMD 5 to 10 years after baseline and 49 matched controls (matched for age, biologic sex, race/ethnicity, and follow-up) without AMD were compared. In analysis 2, 475 persons from LSOCA with baseline plasma inflammatory proteomic profile measurements were followed for incident cataract and mortality. Main Outcome Measures Incident intermediate-stage AMD; incident cataract; and mortality. Results Of 365 measurable plasma inflammatory proteins, 118 (32%) were associated with incident intermediate-stage AMD at the false discovery rate-adjusted Q < 0.05 level after adjustment for smoking, CD4+ T count, and plasma human immunodeficiency virus RNA level. Gene ontology pathway enrichment analysis identified the interleukin (IL)-1 beta pathway and wound healing pathways, including tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3, as significantly associated with incident AMD. These associations were qualitatively different from those associated with incident cataracts, where elevated levels of inflammatory proteins were associated with a decreased risk of cataracts. A much broader number of inflammatory pathways, including those related to the adaptive immune system, were associated with mortality. Conclusions Upregulation of the IL-1 beta pathway appears to be associated with an increased risk of incident AMD in persons with AIDS. Given the availability of inhibitors of this pathway, inhibition of the IL-1 beta pathway may provide a therapeutic avenue for treatment of AMD.

One potential application of metallic lattice structures is in the impact load mitigation where an external kinetic energy is absorbed by the deformation/ crushing of lattice cells. This has motivated a growing number of experimental and numerical studies, recently, on the crushing behavior of additively produced lattice structures. The present study overviews the dynamic and quasi-static crushing behavior of additively produced Ti64, 316L, and AlSiMg alloy lattice structures. The first part of the study summarizes the main features of two most commonly used additive processing techniques for lattice structures, namely selective-laser-melt (SLM) and electrobeam-melt (EBM), along with a description of commonly observed process induced defects. In the second part, the deformation and strain rate sensitivities of the selected alloy lattices are outlined together with the most widely used dynamic test methods, followed by a part on the observed microstructures of the SLM and EBM-processed Ti64, 316L and AlSiMg alloys. Finally, the experimental and numerical studies on the quasi-static and dynamic compression behavior of the additively processed Ti6 4, 316L, and AlSiMg alloy lattices are reviewed. The results of the experimental and numerical studies of the dynamic properties of various types of lattices, including graded, non-uniform strut size, hollow, non-uniform cell size, and bio-inspired, were tabulated together with the used dynamic testing methods. The dynamic tests have been noted to be mostly conducted in compression Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) or Taylor-and direct-impact tests using the SHPB set-up, in all of which relatively small-size test specimens were tested. The test specimen size effect on the compression behavior of the lattices was further emphasized. It has also been shown that the lattices of Ti6 4 and AlSiMg alloys are relatively brittle as compared with the lattices of 316L alloy. Finally, the challenges associated with modelling lattice structures were explained and the micro tension tests and multi-scale modeling techniques combining microstructural characteristics with macroscopic lattice dynamics were recommended to improve the accuracy of the numerical simulations of the dynamic compression deformations of metallic lattice structures.

This study introduces an innovative approach, being the first to employ physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) in conjunction with refined zigzag theory (RZT) for the stress analysis of laminated composite plates. A multi-objective loss function integrates governing partial differential equations (PDEs) and boundary conditions, embedding physical principles into the analysis. Using multiple fully connected artificial neural networks, called feedforward deep neural networks, tailored to handle PDEs, PINNs are trained using automatic differentiation. This training process minimizes a loss function that incorporates the PDEs governing the underlying physical laws. RZT, particularly suitable for the stress analysis of thick and moderately thick plates, simplifies the formulation by using only seven kinematic variables, eliminating the need for shear correction factors. The capability of the proposed method is validated through several benchmark cases in stress analysis, including 3D elasticity solutions, analytical solutions, and experimental results from a three-point bending test based on displacement measurements reported in the literature. These results show consistent agreement with the referenced solutions, confirming the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method. Comprehensive evaluations are conducted to examine the effects of softcore presence, elastic foundation, various lamination schemes, and differing loading and boundary conditions on the stress distribution in laminated plates.
