A comparative review of environmental concern prioritization: LEED vs other major certification systems
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Suzer, Ozge; 27418; İç Mimarlık
The matter of environmental concern prioritization integrated into globally used green building rating systems is a fundamental issue since it determines how the performance of a structure or development is reflected. Certain nationally-developed certification systems are used globally without being subjected to adjustments with respect to local geographical, cultural, economic and social parameters. This may lead to a situation where the results of an evaluation may not reflect the reality of the region and/or the site of construction. The main objective of this paper is to examine and underline the problems regarding the issue of weighting environmental concerns in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification system, which is a US-originated but globally used assessment tool. The methodology of this study consists of; (i) an analysis of the approach of LEED in the New Construction and Major Renovations scheme in version 3 (LEED NC, v.3) and the Building Design and Construction scheme in version 4 (LEED BD + C, v.4), (ii) case studies in which regional priority credits (RPCs) set by LEED for four countries (Canada, Turkey, China and Egypt) are criticized with respect to countries' own local conditions, and, (iii) an analysis of the approaches of major environmental assessment tools, namely; BREEAM, SBTool, CASBEE and Green Star, in comparison to the approach in LEED, regarding the main issue of this paper. This work shows that, even in its latest version (v.4) LEED still displays some inadequacies and inconsistencies from the aspect of environmental concern prioritization and has not yet managed to incorporate a system which is more sensitive to this issue. This paper further outlines the differences and similarities between the approaches of the aforementioned major environmental assessment tools with respect to the issue of concern and the factors that should be integrated into future versions of LEED.

A comparative study on biodegradation and mechanical properties of pressureless infiltrated Ti/Ti6Al4V-Mg composites
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Esen, Ziya; Butev, Ezgi; Karakas, M. Serdar; 52373; 47423; Ortak Dersler Bölümü; Malzeme Bilimi ve Mühendisliği
The mechanical response and biodegradation behavior of pressureless Mg-infiltrated Ti-Mg and Ti6Al4V-Mg composites were investigated by compression and simulated body fluid immersion tests, respectively. Prior porous preforms were surrounded uniformly with magnesium as a result of infiltration and the resultant composites were free of secondary phases and intermetallics. Although the composites' compressive strengths were superior compared to bone, both displayed elastic moduli similar to that of cortical bone and had higher ductility with respect to their starting porous forms. However, Ti-Mg composites were unable to preserve their mechanical stabilities during in-vitro tests such that they fractured in multiple locations within 15 days of immersion. The pressure generated by H-2 due to rapid corrosion of magnesium caused failure of the Ti-Mg composites through sintering necks. On the other hand, the galvanic effect seen in Ti6Al4V-Mg was less severe compared to that of Ti-Mg. The degradation rate of magnesium in Ti6Al4V-Mg was slower, and the composites were observed to be mechanically stable and preserved their integrities over the entire 25-day immersion test. Both composites showed bioinert and biodegradable characteristics during immersion tests and magnesium preferentially corroded leaving porosity behind while Ti/Ti6Al4V remained as a permanent scaffold. The porosity created by degradation of magnesium was refilled by new globular agglomerates. Mg(OH)(2) and CaHPO4 phases were encountered during immersion tests while MgCl2 was detected during only the first 5 days. Both composites were classified as bioactive since the precipitation of CaHPO4 phase is known to be precursor of hydroxyapatite formation, an essential requirement for an artificial material to bond to living bone.

A new and efficient numerical method for the fractional modeling and optimal control of diabetes and tuberculosis co-existence
(Amer inst Physics, 2019) Jajarmi, Amin; Ghanbari, Behzad; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389; Matematik
The main objective of this research is to investigate a new fractional mathematical model involving a nonsingular derivative operator to discuss the clinical implications of diabetes and tuberculosis coexistence. The new model involves two distinct populations, diabetics and nondiabetics, while each of them consists of seven tuberculosis states: susceptible, fast and slow latent, actively tuberculosis infection, recovered, fast latent after reinfection, and drug-resistant. The fractional operator is also considered a recently introduced one with Mittag-Leffler nonsingular kernel. The basic properties of the new model including non-negative and bounded solution, invariant region, and equilibrium points are discussed thoroughly. To solve and simulate the proposed model, a new and efficient numerical method is established based on the product-integration rule. Numerical simulations are presented, and some discussions are given from the mathematical and biological viewpoints. Next, an optimal control problem is defined for the new model by introducing four control variables reducing the number of infected individuals. For the control problem, the necessary and sufficient conditions are derived and numerical simulations are given to verify the theoretical analysis.

A new fractional model and optimal control of a tumor-immune surveillance with non-singular derivative operator
(Amer inst Physics, 2019) Baleanu, D.; Jajarmi, A.; Sajjadi, S. S.; Mozyrska, D.; 56389; Matematik
In this paper, we present a new fractional-order mathematical model for a tumor-immune surveillance mechanism. We analyze the interactions between various tumor cell populations and immune system via a system of fractional differential equations (FDEs). An efficient numerical procedure is suggested to solve these FDEs by considering singular and nonsingular derivative operators. An optimal control strategy for investigating the effect of chemotherapy treatment on the proposed fractional model is also provided. Simulation results show that the new presented model based on the fractional operator with Mittag-Leffler kernel represents various asymptomatic behaviors that tracks the real data more accurately than the other fractional- and integer-order models. Numerical simulations also verify the efficiency of the proposed optimal control strategy and show that the growth of the naive tumor cell population is successfully declined.

A new fractional wavelet approach for the simultaneous determination of ampicillin sodium and sulbactam sodium in a binary mixture
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2006) Dinç, E; Baleanu, DB; 6981; Matematik
A new application of the fractional wavelet transform (FWT) was proposed for the simultaneous determination of ampicillin (AP) and sulbactam (SB) in a pharmaceutical combination for injection. FWT approach is a new powerful tool for removing noise and irrelevant information from the absorption spectra. Cardinal information having higher peak amplitude, eliminated noise, sharp peaks with shrinking width of spectral range was obtained by the application of FWT procedure to the original absorption spectra. In this paper, FWT approach was subjected to the data vector of the UV-signals obtained from AP and SB in the wavelength range of 211.5-313.8 nm. Derivative transform was applied to the original absorption signal together with its FWT generalization. The calibration graphs for AP and SB were obtained by measuring the FWT and usual derivative amplitudes at zero-crossing points. The method validation was carried out by using the synthetic mixture analysis. Our proposed FWT approach was compared with the usual derivative spectrophotometry and chemometric methods (CLS, PCR and PLS) and a good agreement was reported. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

A zero-crossing technique for the multidetermination of thiamine HCl and pyridoxine HCl in their mixture by using one-dimensional wavelet transform
(Elsevier, 2003) Dinç, E; Baleanu, D; 56389; Matematik
A new zero-crossing technique based on one-dimensional wavelet transform (WT) was developed and applied on a commercial vitamin product and binary mixtures containing thiamine HCl and pyridoxine HCl in the presence of the interference of the analysed signals. We selected from the data of the UV-Vis absorption spectra a signal consisting of 1150 points corresponding to the concentration range 8-32 mg/ml for both vitamins and we subjected it to one-dimensional continuous WT Mexican (MEXICAN) and Meyer (MEYER). Since the peaks of the transformed signals were bigger than original ones a zero crossing technique was applied to obtain the regression equations. The validity of Beer-Lambert law was assumed for the transformed signals. An appropriate scale setting was choosing to obtain an alternative calibration for each method. The basic concepts about wavelet method were briefly explained and MATLAB 6.5 software was used for one-dimensional wavelet analysis, The obtained results were successfully compared among each other and with those obtained by other literature methods. The developed method is rapid, easy to apply. not expensive and suitable for analysing of the overlapping signals of compounds in their mixtures without any chemical pre-treatment.

Adaptive optics corrections of scintillations of Hermite-Gaussian modes in an oceanic medium
(Optical Soc Amer, 2020) Baykal, Yahya; 7812
Adaptive optics correction of the scintillation index is found when Hermite-Gaussian laser beams are used in oceanic turbulence. Adaptive optics filter functions are used to find how the tilt, focus, astigmatism, coma, and total correction will behave under high order mode excitation. Reduction of the oceanic scintillation under various oceanic turbulence and system parameters is examined under different high order modes. Also, the effects of the source size, wavelength, and link length on the total adaptive optics correction of Hermite-Gaussian modes in an oceanic medium are investigated for different modes.

Age-Related Decline in Source and Associative Memory
(Springer Heidelberg, 2025) Sumer, Erdi; Kaynak, Hande
This review explores the multifaceted nature of age-related decline in source memory and associative memory. The review highlights the potential effects of age-related decline in these types of memory. By integrating insights from behavioral, cognitive, and neuroscientific research, it examines how encoding, retrieval, and neural mechanisms influence this decline. Understanding these processes is critical to alleviate memory decline in older adults. Directing attention to source information during encoding, employing unitization techniques to strengthen memory associations, and utilizing metacognitive strategies to focus on relevant details show promise in enhancing memory retrieval for older adults. However, the review acknowledges limitations in processing resources and executive function, necessitating a nuanced approach to the complexities of age-related decline. In conclusion, this review underscores the importance of understanding the complexities of age-related source and associative memory decline and the potential benefits of specific cognitive strategies. It emphasizes the need for continued research on age-related memory function to improve the quality of life for aging populations.

An application of derivative and continuous wavelet transforms to the overlapping ratio spectra for the quantitative multiresolution of a ternary mixture of paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in tablets
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2005) Dinç, E; Özdemir, A; Baleanu, D; 56389; Matematik
Quantitative multi resolution of tablets and ternary mixtures of paracetamol (PAR), acetylsalicylic acid (ASP) and caffeine (CAF) having strongly overlapping spectra was accomplished by two graphical transform methods as ratio spectra first derivative-zero crossing and ratio spectra-continuous wavelet transform-zero crossing (ratio spectra CWT-zero crossing) methods. In this study, ratio spectra derivative-zero crossing and ratio spectra CWT-zero crossing methods are based on the use of transformed signals of the ratio spectra and their calibration graphs were obtained by measuring the dA/dlambda and CWT amplitudes of the ratio spectra corresponding to zero crossing points. For the comparison purpose. PLS calibration method was applied to predict the content of the same mixtures containing the subject active Compounds. The obtained calibrations were tested by using the synthetic mixtures and standard addition technique and they applied to the simultaneous determination of PAR, ASP and CAF in commercial pharmaceutical preparation. The obtained results were statistically compared with each other as well as those obtained by HPLC method and they showed good agreement. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

Anaerobic digestion of dairy manure with enhanced ammonia removal
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2008) Uludag-Demirer, S.; Demirer, G. N.; Frear, C.; Chen, S.; 45685
Poor ammonia-nitrogen removal in methanogenic anaerobic reactors digesting animal manure has been reported as an important disadvantage of anaerobic digestion (AD) in several studies. Development of anaerobic processes that are capable of producing reduced ammonia-nitrogen levels in their effluent is one of the areas where further research must be pursued if AD technology is to be made more effective and economically advantageous. One approach to removing ammonia from anaerobically digested effluents is the forced precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate (MgNH4PO4-6H(2)O), commonly called struvite. Struvite is a valuable plant nutrient source for nitrogen and phosphorus since it releases them slowly and has non-burning features because of its low solubility in water. This study investigated coupling AD and controlled struvite precipitation in the same reactor to minimize the nitrogen removal costs and possibly increase the performance of the AD by reducing the ammonia concentration which has an adverse effect oil anaerobic bacteria. The results indicated that Lip to 19% extra COD and almost 11% extra NH3 removals were achieved relative to a control by adding 1750 mg/L of MgCl2-6H(2)O to the anaerobic reactor.

Annular beam scintillations in strong turbulence
(Optical Soc Amer, 2010) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, Yahya; Nakiboglu, Cem; 7812
A scintillation index formulation for annular beams in strong turbulence is developed that is also valid in moderate and weak turbulence. In our derivation, a modified Rytov solution is employed to obtain the small-scale and large-scale scintillation indices of annular beams by utilizing the amplitude spatial filtering of the atmospheric spectrum. Our solution yields only the on-axis scintillation index for the annular beam and correctly reduces to the existing strong turbulence results for the Gaussian beam-thus plane and spherical wave scintillation indices-and also correctly yields the existing weak turbulence annular beam scintillations. Compared to collimated Gaussian beam, plane, and spherical wave scintillations, collimated annular beams seem to be advantageous in the weak regime but lose this advantage in strongly turbulent atmosphere. It is observed that the contribution of annular beam scintillations comes mainly from the small-scale effects. At a fixed primary beam size, the scintillations of thinner collimated annular beams compared to thicker collimated annular beams are smaller in moderate turbulence but larger in strong turbulence; however, thinner annular beams of finite focal length have a smaller scintillation index than the thicker annular beams in strong turbulence. Decrease in the focal length decreases the annular beam scintillations in strong turbulence. Examining constant area annular beams, smaller primary sized annular structures have larger scintillations in moderate but smaller scintillations in strong turbulence.

Anomalous diffusion expressed through fractional order differential operators in the Bloch-Torrey equation
(Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2008) Magin, Richard L.; Abdullah, Osama; Baleanu, Dumitru; Zhou, Xiaohong Joe; Matematik
Diffusion weighted MRI is used clinically to detect and characterize neurodegenerative, malignant and ischemic diseases. The correlation between developing pathology and localized diffusion relies on d iffusi on -weighted pulse sequences to probe biophysical models of molecular diffusion-typically exp[-(bD)]-where D is the apparent diffusion coefficient (turn (2)/s) and b depends on the specific gradient pulse sequence parameters. Several recent studies have investigated the so-called anomalous diffusion stretched exponential model-exp[-(bD)(alpha)], where alpha is a measure of tissue complexity that can be derived from fractal models of tissue structure. In this paper we propose an alternative derivation for the stretched exponential model using fractional order space and time derivatives. First, we consider the case where the spatial Laplacian in the Bloch-Torrey equation is generalized to incorporate a fractional order Brownian model of diffusivity. Second, we consider the case where the time derivative in the Bloch-Torrey equation is replaced by a Riemann-Liouville fractional order time derivative expressed in the Caputo form. Both cases revert to the classical results for integer order operations. Fractional order dynamics derived for the first case were observed to fit the signal attenuation in diffusion-weighted images obtained from Sephadex gels, human articular cartilage and human brain. Future developments of this approach may be useful for classifying anomalous diffusion in tissues with developing pathology. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Aperture averaging in multiple-input single-output free-space optical systems
(Optical Soc Amer, 2016) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Uysal, Murat; 28643; 7812; 124615; Elektronik ve Haberleşme Mühendisliği
Multiple-input single-output (MISO) techniques are employed in free-space optical (FSO) links to mitigate the degrading effects of atmospheric turbulence. In this paper, for the MISO FSO system, a partially coherent radial array and a finite-sized receiver aperture are used at the transmitter and the receiver, respectively. Using the extended Huygens - Fresnel principle, we formulate the average power and the power correlation at the finite-sized slow detector in weak atmospheric turbulence. System performance indicators such as the power scintillation index and the aperture averaging factor are determined. Effects of the source size, ring radius, receiver aperture radius, link distance, and structure constant and the degree of source coherence are analyzed on the performance of the MISO FSO system. In the limiting cases, the numerical results are found to be the same when compared to the existing coherent and partially coherent Gaussian beam scintillation indices.

Associated Factors of Psychological Symptoms Among Unemployed Turkish Adults: The Role of Personality Factors and Rumination
(Sage Publications inc, 2020) Tuna, Ezgi; Balci, Seyma; 163887
Unemployment has been associated with adverse mental health outcomes including depression and suicide. In the last decades, unemployment rates have increased substantially in Turkey; yet, factors and mechanisms that play a role in experiencing psychological symptoms among unemployed individuals are not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of personality characteristics on psychological symptoms among unemployed Turkish adults and to test the mediating role of rumination as a dysfunctional cognitive strategy. The sample consisted of 217 unemployed Turkish adults who completed self-report measures on neuroticism, external locus of control, rumination, and psychological symptoms. The results of the structural equation modeling indicated that rumination partially mediated the relationship between personality variables (i.e., neuroticism and external locus of control) and psychological symptoms, thus verifying the hypothesis of the study. The direct paths from trait neuroticism and external locus of control to psychological symptoms were also significant. Results revealed that a tendency to attribute future outcomes to external factors and an increased tendency to experience negative emotions are associated with engaging passively in rumination, which in turn predicts psychological symptoms. Interventions are suggested to focus on effective coping strategies along with increasing individuals' perceived control over life and future.

Asymptotic solutions of fractional interval differential equations with nonsingular kernel derivative
(Amer inst Physics, 2019) Salahshour, S.; Ahmadian, A.; Salimi, M.; Ferrara, M.; Baleanu, D.; 56389; Matematik
Realizing the behavior of the solution in the asymptotic situations is essential for repetitive applications in the control theory and modeling of the real-world systems. This study discusses a robust and definitive attitude to find the interval approximate asymptotic solutions of fractional differential equations (FDEs) with the Atangana-Baleanu (A-B) derivative. In fact, such critical tasks require to observe precisely the behavior of the noninterval case at first. In this regard, we initially shed light on the noninterval cases and analyze the behavior of the approximate asymptotic solutions, and then, we introduce the A-B derivative for FDEs under interval arithmetic and develop a new and reliable approximation approach for fractional interval differential equations with the interval A-B derivative to get the interval approximate asymptotic solutions. We exploit Laplace transforms to get the asymptotic approximate solution based on the interval asymptotic A-B fractional derivatives under interval arithmetic. The techniques developed here provide essential tools for finding interval approximation asymptotic solutions under interval fractional derivatives with nonsingular Mittag-Leffler kernels. Two cases arising in the real-world systems are modeled under interval notion and given to interpret the behavior of the interval approximate asymptotic solutions under different conditions as well as to validate this new approach. This study highlights the importance of the asymptotic solutions for FDEs regardless of interval or noninterval parameters. Published under license by AIP Publishing.

Average intensity and spreading of cosh-Gaussian laser beams in the turbulent atmosphere
(Optical Soc Amer, 2005) Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y; 7688; 7812
The average intensity and spreading of cosh-Gaussian laser beams in the turbulent atmosphere are examined. Our research is based principally on formulating the average-intensity profile at the receiver plane for cosh-Gaussian excitation. The limiting cases of our formulation for the average intensity are found to reduce correctly to the existing Gaussian beam wave result in turbulence and the cosh-Gaussian beam result in free space (in the absence of turbulence). The average intensity and the broadening of the cosh-Gaussian beam wave after it propagates in the turbulent atmosphere are numerically evaluated versus source size, beam displacement, link length, structure constant, and two wavelengths of 0.85 and 1.55 mum, which are most widely used in currently employed free-space-optical links. Results indicate that in turbulence the beam is widened beyond its free-space diffraction values. At the receiver plane, analogous to the case of free space, this diffraction eventually leads to transformation of the cosh-Gaussian beam into an oscillatory average-intensity profile with a Gaussian envelope.

The scattering of a Gaussian beam by a resistive half-screen is investigated. Far-field approximation is used in evaluation of geometrical optics and diffracted waves. The uniform expression of the diffracted waves by the resistive half-plane, which was found with the Sommerfeld-Maliuzhinets method, is obtained. The scattered fields for the case of the beam incidence are evaluated with the technique of a complex point source. The resultant wave expressions are examined numerically.

Bit error rate analysis of Gaussian, annular Gaussian, cos Gaussian, and cosh Gaussian beams with the help of random phase screens
(Optical Soc Amer, 2014) Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; 7688
Using the random phase screen approach, we carry out a simulation analysis of the probability of error performance of Gaussian, annular Gaussian, cos Gaussian, and cosh Gaussian beams. In our scenario, these beams are intensity-modulated by the randomly generated binary symbols of an electrical message signal and then launched from the transmitter plane in equal powers. They propagate through a turbulent atmosphere modeled by a series of random phase screens. Upon arriving at the receiver plane, detection is performed in a circuitry consisting of a pin photodiode and a matched filter. The symbols detected are compared with the transmitted ones, errors are counted, and from there the probability of error is evaluated numerically. Within the range of source and propagation parameters tested, the lowest probability of error is obtained for the annular Gaussian beam. Our investigation reveals that there is hardly any difference between the aperture-averaged scintillations of the beams used, and the distinctive advantage of the annular Gaussian beam lies in the fact that the receiver aperture captures the maximum amount of power when this particular beam is launched from the transmitter plane.
