Öğe The effect of Plantago major Linnaeus on serum total sialic acid, lipid-bound sialic acid, some trace elements and minerals after administration of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene in rats(SAGE, 2012-04) Oto, Gökhan; Ekin, Suat; Özdemir, Hülya; Levent, Abdulkadir; Berber, İsmetThe present study was designed to evaluate the effect of Plantago major Linnaeus (PM) extract on serum total sialic acid (TSA), lipid-bound sialic acid (LSA), some trace elements (copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) and iron) and mineral levels (magnesium, calcium and sodium) in Wistar albino rat administrated 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). Rats were divided into three equal groups (n = 6). Group I comprised the control group, group II was treated with DMBA (100 mg/kg, single dose) and group III was treated with DMBA (100 mg/kg single dose) and aqueous extract of PM 100 mg/kg/day for 60 days. After 60 days, statistical analyses showed that TSA and LSA levels in DMBA and DMBA + PM groups were significantly higher compared to the control group (TSA: p < 0.01, p < 0.05; LSA: p < 0.05, p < 0.05, respectively). Serum Zn levels were decreased in subjects treated with DMBA (p < 0.01) and DMBA + PM (p < 0.05) compared to the control group values. Serum Cu levels were increased in DMBA group and PM-treated group compared to the control group values. The results of this investigation showed that the levels of TSA and LSA changed significantly, which are sensitive markers for detecting the toxic effects of DMBA. On the other hand, observed decline in Zn levels in rats from DMBA + PM group might be due to decreased generation of free radicals and oxidative stress. Results from this study suggest that PM may be partially effective in preventing carcinogenesis initiated by environmental carcinogen DMBA.Öğe Fluorescence properties and electrochemical behavior of some schiff bases derived from n-aminopyrimidine(Springer Nature, 2014-03) Gülcan, Mehmet; Doğrul, Ümit; Öztürk Ürüt, Gülsiye; Levent, Abdulkadir; Akbaş, EsvetA series of Schiff bases (L 1, L 2 and L 3 ) were prepared by refluxing aromatic aldehydes with N-Aminopyrimidine derivatives in methanol and ethanol. The structures of synthesized compounds were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and microanalysis. The electrochemical behaviors of the Schiff base ligands were also discussed. Moreover, the evaluation of absorption and emission properties of the structures were carried out in five different solvents. The products show visible absorption maxima in the range of 304-576 nm, and emission maxima from 636 to 736 nm in all solvents tested.Öğe Ag-doped HfO2 thin films via sol–gel dip coating method(Springer Nature, 2019-10-01) Pakma, Osman; Kaval, Şehmus; Kari̇per, İshak AfşinIn this study, undoped and Ag-doped HfO2 thin films were deposited on glass substrates by means of sol–gel dip coating method. These films were then thermally annealed at 500 °C for 1 h. The structural and optical properties of undoped and Ag-doped HfO2 thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV–Vis spectrometry and scanning electron microscope. The results of this analysis were compared and interpreted with the results obtained in literature by various methods of coating with HfO2. The X-ray diffraction peaks of the films paired with monoclinic HfO2 crystalline peaks. The refractive indices of the films decreased with doping Ag, at 500 nm wavelengths. The optical band gap values of Ag-doped HfO2 thin films increased with doping Ag. The porous structures were observed on the surface films, especially with 5% Ag doping.Öğe Assessment of natural radiation exposure levels and mass attenuation coefficients of lime and gypsum samples used in Turkey(Springer Nature, 2009-11-17) Damla, Nevzat; Çevik, Uğur; Kobya, Ali İhsan; Çelik, Ahmet; Çelik, NecatiThe activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in lime and gypsum samples used as building materials in Turkey were measured using gamma spectrometry. The mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were found to be 38 ± 16, 20 ± 9, and 156 ± 54 Bq kg − 1 for lime and found to be 17 ± 6, 13 ± 5, and 429 ± 24 Bq kg − 1 for gypsum, respectively. The radiological hazards due to the natural radioactivity in the samples were inferred from calculations of radium equivalent activities (Raeq), indoor absorbed dose rate in the air, the annual effective dose, and gamma and alpha indices. These radiological parameters were evaluated and compared with the internationally recommended limits. The experimental mass attenuation coefficients (μ/ρ) of the samples were determined in the energy range 81–1,332 keV. The experimental mass attenuation coefficients were compared with theoretical values obtained using XCOM. It is found that the calculated values and the experimental results are in good agreement.Öğe Parameter optimization of power system stabilizers via kidney-inspired algorithm(SAGE, 2018-06-25) Ekinci, Serdar; Demiroren, Aysen; Hekimoğlu, BaranThis article describes the application of a new population-based meta-heuristic optimization algorithm inspired by the kidney process in the human body for the tuning of power system stabilizers (PSSs) in a multi-machine power system. The tuning problem of PSS parameters is formulated as an optimization problem that aims at maximizing the damping ratio of the electromechanical modes and the kidney-inspired algorithm (KA) is used to search for the optimal parameters. The efficacy of the KA-based PSS design was successfully tested on a well-known 16-machine, 68-bus power system. The obtained results are evaluated and compared with the other results obtained by the original particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the bat algorithm (BA) methods. From the detailed eigenvalue analysis, the nonlinear simulation studies and some performance indices it has been found out that for damping oscillations, the performance of the proposed KA approach in this study is better than that obtained by other intelligent techniques (PSO and BA). Moreover, the efficiency and the superior performance of the proposed method over the other two algorithms in terms of computation time, convergence rate and solution quality are confirmed.
