Utilization of wood waste particles (WWP) is important for environmental and economic concern. This study focuses on the behavior of mortars having WWP with various amounts. Incorporation of WWP brings about the advantages such as decrease in the mass and cost of the mortar. In the present study, the proportions of the wood waste particles replacing the crushed sand in the mortars by volume were 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 %. Physical, mechanical and capillary absorption properties have been investigated. In addition, microstructure of the mortars has been examined with optical microscope. As compared to control specimen, dry bulk density decreased from 2.2 to 1.5 kg/m3, apparent porosity increased about 2 folds, and water absorption increased about 4 folds, for sample in which 40 % of crushed sand was replaced with WWP. Mechanical values reduced with increasing WWP amount. On the other hand, during compressive and flexural strength tests, samples containing WWP presented a gradual decrease in strength, thus they exhibited a more ductile behavior.

Longitudinal studies involve repeated measurements from the same subjects or blocks over short or an extended periods of time. In longitudinal studies, usually the most important step is to decide how many experimental units to use. There are no closed form equations for determining sample size in many complex designs. Monte Carlo simulation method is an effective tool in complex designs to estimate power or sample size. This paper introduces estimating sample size for the number of blocks or experimental units based on a fixed number of treatment/time in randomized complete block designs with correlated longitudinal responses analyzed by nonparametric tests against ordered alternatives. The sample size of subjects is estimated for each test statistics by taking into account the autocorrelation structure of the error terms which form either a stationary first-order moving average or autoregressive with non-normally distributed white noise terms. An extensive sample size/power comparison among the recently proposed Modification of S test and the other two well-known nonparametric tests such as the Page test and the generalized Jonckheere test against ordered alternatives in randomized complete block designs is carried out under stationary first-order autoregressive and moving average error structures with white noise terms distributed with either Laplace or Weibull distributions. Simulation study indicates that the distribution of white noise and the error structure have an important role on sample size estimation for each nonparametric test. The Modification of S test requires large sample size in contrast to other tests for longitudinal data in the specified simulation setting.

Fake news has been in our lives as part of the media for years. With the recent spread of digital news platforms, it affects not only traditional media but also online media as well. Therefore, while companies seek to increase their own brand awareness, they should also protect their brands against fake news spread on social networks and traditional media. This study discusses a solution that accurately classifies the Turkish news published online as real and fake. For this purpose, a machine learning model is trained with tagged news. Initially, the headlines were analyzed within the scope of this study that are collected from Turkish online sources. As a next step, in addition to the headlines of these news, news contexts are also used in the analysis. Analysis are done with unigrams and bigrams. The results show 95% success for the headlines and 80% for the texts for correctly classifying the fake Turkish news articles. This is the first study in the literature that introduces an ML model that can accurately identify fake news in Turkish language.

The household and industrial use, as well as mining of coal, pose various environmental and health risks including lung and kidney diseases such as Balkan Endemic Nephropathy (BEN). BEN is a kidney disease and it is geographically confined to Balkan countries where extensive lignite deposits are located. The most accepted cause of BEN is the use of untreated waters contaminated by lignite-derived organic contaminants. Afşin-Elbistan basin contains approximately 50 % of the lignite reserves of Turkey which makes it an ideal location for the current study. In this work, water samples were taken from 10 different locations in the Afşin-Elbistan basin and they were analyzed for organic and inorganic contaminants. Results showed that none of the water samples were contaminated with inorganic contaminants and indeed met the Turkish drinking water standards. GC-MS analyses of the water samples revealed similar chromatograms. Briefly, all the water samples have similar organic compound types such as n-alkanes, chlorophyll-derived phytols, and plant- and animal-derived acids (i.e. palmitic acid). On the other hand, none of the samples were contaminated with carcinogenic and/or nephrotoxic organic compounds such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons and aromatic amines, which is contrary to many, but not all of the previous works conducted in Balkan countries. All these results may indicate that the influence of coal deposits on the groundwaters is minimal.

Molecular docking process was performed to investigate the interactions between the synthesized compounds and human epidermal growth factor protein kinase domain EGFR (PDB ID:1M17) and cyclin-dependent kinase-2 CDK2 (PDB ID:3IG7) proteins. HOMO LUMO orbital energy analysis, quantum chemical calculations were made and the bioactivity parameters of the compounds were evaluated. NiII and CuII complexes of the L1H2 L2H2 and L3H2, ligands showed higher binding affinity to EGFR and CDK2. Especially, [Cu(L1H)2] and [Cu(L2H)2] complexes can be suggested as hit compounds against CDK2 and EGFR, respectively. These were supported by the inhibition constant values which were the lowest when compared to others. L1H2 L2H2 and L3H2, ligands had the lowest binding energy values when compared to metal complexes. Also, [Cu(L2H)2] complex had a high binding energy value against EGFR. [Ni(L2H)2] and [Cu(L2H)2] complexes with EGFR had the highest LE and FQ values and these were found to be in the recommended range. Furthermore, [Cu(L3H)2] had an acceptable FQ value however its LE value was out of range. Besides, [Cu(L2H)2] had a potent and sufficient electrophile ability (acceptor) among other compounds. In conclusion, these compounds may be suitable compounds for further analysis in anti-cancer drug development with low toxic and targeted properties.

With the effect of developing technology, humanity is constantly exposed to more electromagnetic fields. Regional studies are gaining importance for determining the possible problems. In this study, extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) measurements were carried out in Aydın Adnan Menderes University Central Campus in areas where university students are frequently found, at 25 randomly selected points, in the region where high voltage lines pass and around transformers, and to evaluate the awareness of university students about the ELF-EMF they are exposed to. For this purpose, the necessary magnetic field and electric field strength measurements were made and a questionnaire was applied to determine the awareness level of the students. Results were evaluated by comparing them with the ICNIRP limit values. Accordingly, it has been concluded that Aydın Adnan Menderes University Central Campus can be accepted as a relatively safe area since electromagnetic field exposure values are within the ICNIRP safe limit values. In addition, as a result of the questionnaire, it was determined that the young people were conscious to a certain extent about ELF-EMF, but they did not pay attention to protect themselves against the possible effects of ELF-EMF. It is important to make the necessary initiatives in order to raise awareness of young people on this issue.
随着科技的发展,人类暴露在越来越多的电磁场中。区域研究对于确定可能出现的问题越来越重要。在本研究中,在Aydın Adnan Menderes大学中央校区进行了极低频电磁场(ELF-EMF)测量,在大学生经常发现的地区,在高压线路经过的区域和变压器周围随机选择25个点,并评估大学生对他们所暴露的极低频电磁场的认识。为此,进行了必要的磁场和电场强度测量,并进行了问卷调查,以确定学生的意识水平。将结果与ICNIRP极限值进行比较评价。因此,可以认为Aydın Adnan Menderes University Central Campus是一个相对安全的区域,因为电磁场暴露值在ICNIRP安全限值内。此外,问卷调查的结果表明,年轻人对极低频电磁场有一定的意识,但他们没有注意保护自己免受极低频电磁场可能产生的影响。重要的是要采取必要的主动行动,以提高年轻人对这个问题的认识。

In this study, integration of renewable energy sources and Electric Vehicles (EVs) into a micro-grid was modeled and analyzed. The microgrid is divided into four important parts; a diesel generator, acting as the base power generator; a photovoltaic (PV) farm combined with a wind farm, to produce electrical energy; a vehicle to grid (V2G) system installed next to the last part of the microgrid which is the load of the microgrid. The size of the microgrid represents approximately a community of a thousand households during a low consumption day in spring or fall. There are 100 electric vehicles in the base model which means that there is a 1:10 ratio between the cars and the households. This is a possible scenario in a foreseeable future. The continuous increase in their rate in energy production makes micro-grids important. Microgrids can be designed to meet the energy needs of hospitals, universities or charging stations of electric cars, as well as to meet the energy needs of a district, village or industrial site. Charging stations are needed to charge the electric vehicle battery. In this study, the effects of electric vehicles on the microgrid network are analyzed. Electric vehicles have non-linear circuit elements in their structures. Therefore, they are a source of harmonic current in the microgrid. They negatively affect the power quality of the microgrid. The battery in electric vehicles is charged with direct current. The alternating current from the microgrid needs to be converted to direct current.
