2,4,6-Tris(p Synthesis and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (epr) Analysis
(Sakarya University, 2022) Karataş, Ö.; Ceylan, Y.; Koç, Z.E.
A significant group of compounds arise from substituted s-triazine derivatives that have tripodal heterocyclic compound. Compounds classified as heterocyclic possible created the largest and most diverse family of organic compounds. In this study, we reported that a new template has been syntheses from a cyanuric chloride and its diamine derivative. The desired triamine a tripodal 2, 4, 6-tris (p-aminoaanilino)-1, 3, 5-triazine (C21H21N9), called to be TRIPOD, has been obtained from cyanuric chloride with 3 eq of p-phenylenediamine reaction in acetone. After synthesis, TRIPOD sample which was polycrystal form was irradiated by cobalt-gamma source. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of TRIPOD were recorded using X-band EPR spectrometer at room temperature in three axes (x, y, z) which are perpendicular at 10o intervals. The EPR spectrum was simulated using computer program and by using the spectrum. The radical structure was determined in the sample. © 2022, Sakarya University. All rights reserved.

(Gumushane University, 2024) Baş, İ.Ç.; Abbak, R.A.
The TUSAGA-Active (Turkish National Continuous Operating Reference System) is available for commercial and academic studies with 168 fixed GNSS (Global Navigational Satellite Systems) stations. Its capability to provide high-accuracy data facilitate to monitor deformations in engineering structures resulting from crustal movements. On October 30, 2020, an earthquake with a magnitude of ML = 6.6 (MW = 6.9) struck the Aegean Sea at 14.51 local time. The aim of the study is that TUSAGA-Active stations located within the earthquake-affected area are thoroughly examined to detect any crustal deformations caused by this seismic event. As part of this analysis, deformation directions and magnitudes were determined for stations AYD1, CESM, DIDI, IZMI, KIKA, and SALH. RINEX data from 15 days before the earthquake date and 11 days after were processed using CSRS-PPP (Canadian Spatial Reference System Precise Point Positioning Service) and OPUS (Online Positioning User Service), which are internet-based GNSS services. The results of this analysis revealed that the CESM station experienced the most significant displacement, averaging 57.39 mm in the north direction according to the CSRS-PPP service. Similar results were obtained from the OPUS service data. © 2024, Gumushane University. All rights reserved.

Accurate Edge Detection With Support of Reflectance Transformation Imaging
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Kaya, Burhan; Durdu, Akif
Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) is a method of photographing an object that reveals details that are invisible to the naked eye. The input of RTI consists of a series of images captured by a fixed positioned camera and each illuminated from a known and different direction by lights. Reflection Transform Imaging is widely used to produce quality models from multi-light image data. It is frequently preferred for various studies in the field of cultural heritage. For the first time in this paper, the RTI photographing method has been used outside of its traditional using way. It is used to solve the well-known problem of edge detection. Reflection transform cannot be used actively, because it is difficult to create an RTI experimental environment in daily life. However, under certain conditions, the approaches mentioned in this paper will be used in daily life, from the analysis of images in every field. In this paper, the ideas that it can be applied in every partially controlled area that needs high resolution object detection are discussed. With the method mentioned in this statement, a new approach has been proposed and proven based on RTI basics for edge and corner detections. © 2022 IEEE.

Achievable Rate Analysis for Two-Way Relay Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access Systems
(IEEE, 2021) Özdemir, Özgür
This paper investigates the performance of a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) based two-way relaying system where the users want to exchange independent messages with the help of a decode-and-forward relay. We consider transmission over three phases where the first and second phases are allocated to the transmissions of the users and after detection the relay applies superposition coding and transmits the network encoded symbol to the users in the third phase. Exact analytical expressions are derived to characterize the achievable average rate of the system over independent Rayleigh fading channels. Computer simulations are also presented to confirm the theoretical analysis. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed three-phase two-way relaying scheme with NOMA outperforms the two-phase and four-phase NOMA-based two-way relaying scenarios in terms of achievable average rate.

Achievable Rate of Noma-Based Cooperative Communication Systems With Best Relay Selection Over Cascaded Rayleigh Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2020) Özdemir, Özgür
In this paper, the achievable rate analysis of NOMA-based cooperative communication systems with best relay selection is studied. The cascaded Rayleigh fading channels are considered since investigations have shown that cascaded channel structure agree better with mobile network models such as inter-vehicular communication systems. A cooperative network where a source terminal communicates with a destination directly and through a selected relay among K relays is considered and the achievable average rate of this system using NOMA is found by computer simulations. The obtained results for cascaded Rayleigh fading channels in case of decode and forward protocol have shown that the average rate is decreased as the cascading degree increases. It has been also seen that for a given cascading degree the average rate performance of the system is increased when the number of total relays is increased.

Achieving Shojinka by Integrated Balancing of Multiple Straight Lines With Resource Dependent Task Times
(Springer New York LLC, 2019) Atasagun, Y.; Kara, Y.; Can Atasagun, Gözde
The concept of Shojinka, which is an important element of Just in Time production system, is attaining flexibility on the number of workers in a workshop due to demand variations. Even though Just in Time production system adopts U-shaped line layout, traditional straight lines can be combined and balanced in an integrated manner to obtain the advantages of Shojinka. In this case, the problem, which is called Integrated Balancing of Multiple Straight Lines, arises. On the other hand, the basic assumption of assembly line balancing is that every task’s time is fixed. However, in practice, different resource alternatives such as equipment or assistant worker may be available to process a task with different times. The problem in this case is to assign tasks and resources to stations that minimise total cost. In this study, a binary integer mathematical model is presented for integrated balancing of multiple straight lines, assuming that task times are resource dependent. The proposed model is illustrated and validated using several examples. An experimental analysis is also conducted to emphasize the advantages of the integrated balancing concept, compared to the situation in which the lines are balanced independent from each other. The experimental results show that, when multiple straight assembly lines are balanced in an integrated manner with resource dependent task times, an average total cost improvement of 23.105% can be obtained compared to the independent balances of the lines. This is a significant improvement that emphasizes the importance of balancing multiple straight lines in an integrated manner, to take the advantages of shojinka and to adhere to the main philosophy of Just in Time. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.

Adaptation Analysis of Produced 3d Models From Uav-Slam and Uav-Tls Data Combinations
(Mersin University, 2023) Erdal, Kasım; Makineci, Hasan Bilgehan
Photogrammetric techniques are widely used to represent the characteristics of historical buildings in the digital environment in the closest way to reality. Terrestrial photogrammetric methods have needed different alternatives in recent years to produce 3D models that offer high reality. In recent years, producing point data with the Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) images, and alternative methods such as the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm has become popular. Aligning point data from different approaches and making 3D models create new problems. Primarily, it is necessary to investigate the operations performed manually by the operator over time. Also, it is needed to explore the integration of automatic algorithms such as Iterative Closest Point (ICP) in terms of accuracy. In this research, point data of the Dokuz Historical Bridge was produced using different aligning techniques manually and automatically with the ICP algorithm. The assessment has been done from the results of combined point data over time and accuracy. In both UAV-TLS and UAV-SLAM aligning procedures, spatial accuracy was determined as 2.8cm and 4cm, respectively, in the operations performed by the operator and 46cm and 12cm in the procedures performed automatically by ICP. As a result, it was determined that the operators combined produced better findings, especially in research including coordinate transform. © Author(s) 2023.
Addressing Time Delays in Blood Glucose Regulation for T1DM Using a PD Controller and Smith Predictor Method
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Kurnaz, Ender; Aydogdu, Omer
Diabetes Mellitus, particularly Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM), is a condition where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, causing abnormal Blood Glucose (BG) levels. Proper BG regulation is essential for managing T1DM and preventing related complications. In this research, a hybrid method that integrates the PD controller and Smith Predictor is employed to tackle the issue of time delays in blood glucose regulation for T1DM patients. This study compares two control strategies: a Proportional-Derivative (PD) controller and the Smith Predictor, both of which address time delays inherent in glucose monitoring and insulin delivery systems. The PD controller parameters are determined using MATLAB Simulink's PID Tuner, and the system's transfer function was derived through System Identification. The time response analysis of both control methods shows that while their rise times are similar, the Smith Predictor offers a significant reduction in delay and peak times. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Barstuğan, Mücahid; Ceylan, Rahime; Asoğlu, Semih; Cebeci, Hakan; Koplay, Mustafa
Adrenal tumors occur on adrenal glands and can be malignant. Adrenal glands consist of cortex and medulla. If cortex or medulla produce hormones extremely, the hormonal unbalance situation arises. This situation causes adrenal tumor occurrence on adrenal glands. In this study, adrenal tumors on T1 and T2-weighted MR images were classified by the SVM algorithm. Before the classification stage, different feature extraction algorithms and filtering methods were used for preprocessing. The classification results that were obtained by four different methods were evaluated on five different evaluation metrics as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, and F-score. The best classification performance was obtained with Method 2 on T1-weighted MR (Magnetic Resonance) images where the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, and F-score metrics were obtained as 99.17%, 90%, 98.4%, 99.17%, and 99.13%, respectively. © 2019 IEEE.

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Degradation of Pharmaceuticals Used During Covid-19 Pandemic
(Elsevier, 2023) Ramirez, I.; Mariam, E.; Kumar, A.; Yanardağ, D.; Villaseñor-Basulto, D.L.; Garcia-Huante, Y.G.; Ordaz, A.
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted public health, the economy, and the environment worldwide. During the pandemic, high demand for prescribed pharmaceuticals to treat COVID-19 and other consequential illnesses was observed, including antiviral, corticosteroids, antidepressants, analgesics, and antibiotics. The excessive use of these pharmaceutical compounds provoked new concerns regarding their presence in water bodies. Although the concentrations of these compounds in water are in trace levels (e.g., ng L−1 in most cases), the scientific community has classified them as emerging contaminants of paramount importance. Wastewater and drinking water systems have been encouraged and, in some cases, required to remove these emerging contaminants. Among various treatment techniques, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are potential technologies to degrade and remove these contaminants. AOPs represents a broad group of treatment processes for oxidizing compounds that are typically resistant to conventional redox processes. In this chapter, the impact of COVID-19 on water systems is discussed to understand the current circumstances of associated pharmaceutical compounds. We explore the effectiveness of AOPs from the lens of removing these organic molecules. In addition, we provide an overview of the current methods for the detection and quantification of pharmaceutical compounds against COVID-19 in wastewater. The information presented in this chapter has the potential to help engineers, scientists, and public health professionals navigate how AOPs can be used for degradation of pharmaceuticals in water. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

Air Quality Effects of Antalya Forest Fires in Turkiye
(Hysen MANKOLLI, 2025) Dursun, S.; Kırbıyık, B.; Mankolli, H.
The 2021 Turkey forest fires began on July 28, 2021, in the Manavgat district of Antalya and spread to many cities in Türkiye. As of August 12, 2021, 299 forest fires, most of which broke out in 53 provinces in the Mediterranean, Aegean, Marmara, Western Black Sea, and Southeastern Anatolia regions, had killed eight people. A significant increase compared to previous years, more than 150,000 hectares of forest and settlements had been reduced to ashes, and thousands of animals had died. The 299 forest fires, 15 of which were large, that started on July 28 were fully contained as of August 12, 2021, with the extinguishing of the fire in Köyceğiz district of Muğla. The fires were fought with 15 firefighting aircraft, 62 helicopters, 9 unmanned aerial vehicles, 1 unmanned helicopter, 850 water trucks and water tankers, 450 construction equipment, and 5,250 personnel. Many countries, including Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Russia, Spain, Croatia, Qatar, and Iran, provided personnel and vehicle support. Thousands of locals and tourists were evacuated from hundreds of villages and towns by land and sea as the fires spread to populated areas. The large-scale forest fire that broke out around Antalya is also of environmental concern. Air pollution caused by the fire, due to weather conditions, carries a risk of affecting the city centre. While Antalya's city centre’s location on the Mediterranean coast benefits from reducing air pollution, the high humidity and pressure fluctuations that occur occasionally contribute to increased air pollution. According to assessments of existing air monitoring network data in Antalya during the fire period, airflow carrying combustion gases from higher elevations to the Mediterranean Sea prevented further deterioration in air quality. © 2025, Hysen MANKOLLI.

Air Quality Status in Konya City Centre, Konya, Turkey During Pandemic Covid-19
(Institute of Physics, 2022) Yahaya, N. Z.; Jalaludin, J.; Toros, H.; Dursun, S.
High developed industry regions, provincial centers with a heavy traffic and dense populations with cold winters, using low-quality fossil fuel consumption have an effect on quality of life especially for people with respiratory diseases. The air quality data gathered from air monitoring stations for the City Center of Konya, Turkey were analysed statistically during the period when curfew due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The restrictions that cause the reduction of vehicle exhaust emissions, which are important factors in the formation of some air pollutants, are thought to be effective in improving the air quality as well as meteorological conditions are effective on the days when the air quality is analysed. It is thought that the reduction in HC, NOx, CO and PM emissions, which can be evaluated as exhaust emissions, will be an effective factor due to the restrictions of Covid-19 pandemic. Comparing between the 2019 and 2020 MCO data, we identified that most of the gases decreased with NO2 (-24 ?g/m3), SO2 (-24 ?g/m3), CO (-37 ?g/m3) and an increment of O3 of +50 ?g/m3 which indicates that the MCO and restricted of movement were give an impact to air quality levels in Konya City. The increase in O3 values were found by the existing of the sun rays in the atmosphere with the formation of O3 during the clean air period. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
Airborne Gravity Data Reconstruction Strategies for Geoid Optimization in Peninsular Malaysia
(Association for Geoinformation Technology, 2025) Zamri, A.N.M.; Pa’suya, M.F.; Din, A.H.M.; Abbak, R.A.; Ali, T.A.T.; Talib, N.; Othman, N.A.
Geoid height is essential for precise height determination, particularly in surveying and geodetic applications. Airborne gravity data substantially improve geoid models, especially over regions with complex terrain where terrestrial coverage is limited. However, since airborne data are acquired at flight altitude, they require downward continuation to the geoid surface which an inherently unstable process. Despite ongoing advancements, the most effective strategy for combining and gridding gravity data, particularly airborne measurements, remains a topic of research. This study evaluates two downward continuation strategies to assess their influence on geoid accuracy. The first strategy applies downward continuation to airborne data simultaneously with terrestrial and marine data, incorporating a range of buffer distances (0 km, 1 km, 5 km, and 10 km) to examine their effect on model performance. The second strategy involves performing downward continuation on airborne data independently before merging with other datasets. Numerical results indicate the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) values of 0.044 m for the first strategy and 0.045 m for the second, with a marginal difference of 0.001 m. Although the difference appears minor, even marginal improvements can be pivotal in high-precision geoid modelling particularly in localized regions where complex topography or sparse data coverage may magnify subtle errors. Such refinements are essential to advancing the long-term goal of achieving geoid accuracy at the 1 cm level for Peninsular Malaysia. © Geoinformatics International.
Aligning Objects as Preprocessing Combined With Imitation Learning for Improved Generalization
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Barstugan, Mucahid; Masuda, Shimpei; Sagawa, Ryusuke; Kanehiro, Fumio
Imitation learning method transfers human behavior to the robots or machines. This method aims to allow robots or machines to learn by observing tasks performed by human operators and imitating these tasks, rather than direct programming. ACT as an imitation learning method shows the high capability for automating dexterous manipulation tasks. From the viewpoint of industrial application, pose of the target object will be varied. However, even if only for the initial object pose variation, imitation learning method like ACT usually needs a lot of demonstration data that covers pose variation to train the policy that can generalize for. Collecting large demonstration dataset takes many efforts. This study created an object pick-and-place controller to eliminate pose variation as a preprocess step with YOLOv8, which is a recent object detection technique. The preprocess step automatically moves the object to a specific position and eliminates the pose variation. We show that our system effectiveness on the randomly placed bag opening task that requires both generalization for object pose variation and dexterous bimanual manipulation. The bag opening task was conducted with ACT and preprocess applied ACT methods, and the results were evaluated to examine the effect of the preprocess method to generalization process.
Alteration Mineralogy and Fluid Inclusion Microthermometry of the Hes-Daba Area in Gagade, Republic of Djibouti
(Murat Yakar, 2025) Bayram, A.F.; Hassanleh Hassan, M.
This study focuses on fluid inclusions from the Hes-Daba area. Microthermometric measurements were conducted on quartz collected from surface veins that hosted inclusions in two phases: liquid and vapor. The mean homogenization temperature ranged from 150 °C to 367 °C and the melting point of ice ranged from −0.05 °C to −1.14 °C, indicating that the inclusion solutions consisted of 0.1 to 1.9 eq. wt% NaCl. The thermal history and thermal structure were evaluated to estimate the formation temperature. Selected samples were analyzed via x-ray diffraction to provide direct data on geothermal reservoirs; this was necessary because geothermal fluids, through their interactions, can alter the composition and properties of rocks. The main alteration minerals were quartz, calcite, alunite, epidote, hematite, illite, smectite, and chlorite. Therefore, the clay constituted a transition to a hightemperature environment, as evidenced by high temperature hydrothermal alteration minerals such as quartz (>180 °C) and epidote (~250 °C). © 2025, Murat Yakar.

(2019) Dursun, Arif Emre
Fatal accidents in underground coal mines in Turkey are common and experienced frequently. The major accident categories for underground coal mining in Turkey are gas related accidents (firedamp and outbursts), roof falls, flooding, fire and transport. In recent years, coal mine gas related accidents in Turkey, which are usually caused by firedamp and outbursts, are still threatening miners’ lives. Firedamp explosions are majorly serious mine accidents that can occur quickly and cause great deal damage. In this study, work-related accidents caused by firedamp and another gas accidents in Turkey between the years 2010-2016 were analyzed. As a result of these analyses, the number of deaths in underground coal mines in the past 7 years is 550 and the fatality rate is found to be 96.86%. The percentage of gases as the cause of the deaths is 70.18%. In this study, countermeasures are proposed that can prevent and control firedamp explosions and other gas related accidents.
