Article A 6-Point Subdivision Scheme and Its Applications for the Solution of 2nd Order Nonlinear Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problems(Amer inst Mathematical Sciences-aims, 2020) Baleanu, Dumitru; Ejaz, Syeda Tehmina; Anju, Kaweeta; Ahmadian, Ali; Salahshour, Soheil; Ferrara, Massimiliano; Mustafa, Ghulam; 56389; 02.02. Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiIn this paper, we first present a 6-point binary interpolating subdivision scheme (BISS) which produces a C-2 continuous curve and 4th order of approximation. Then as an application of the scheme, we develop an iterative algorithm for the solution of 2nd order nonlinear singularly perturbed boundary value problems (NSPBVP). The convergence of an iterative algorithm has also been presented. The 2nd order NSPBVP arising from combustion, chemical reactor theory, nuclear engineering, control theory, elasticity, and fluid mechanics can be solved by an iterative algorithm with 4th order of approximation.Article Citation - WoS: 110Citation - Scopus: 112Active Laser Radar Systems With Stochastic Electromagnetic Beams in Turbulent Atmosphere(Optica Publishing Group, 2008) Cai, Yangjian; Korotkova, Olga; Eyyuboglu, Halil T.; Baykal, Yahya; 7688; 7812; 06.02. Elektronik ve Haberleşme Mühendisliği; 06.03. Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiPropagation of stochastic electromagnetic beams through paraxial ABCD optical systems operating through turbulent atmosphere is investigated with the help of the ABCD matrices and the generalized Huygens-Fresnel integral. In particular, the analytic formula is derived for the cross-spectral density matrix of an electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (EGSM) beam. We applied our analysis for the ABCD system with a single lens located on the propagation path, representing, in a particular case, the unfolded double-pass propagation scenario of active laser radar. Through a number of numerical examples we investigated the effect of local turbulence strength and lens' parameters on spectral, coherence and polarization properties of the EGSM beam.

Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiType I diabetes is described by the destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. Hence, exogenous insulin administration is necessary for Type I diabetes patients. In this study, to estimate the states that are not directly available from the Bergman minimal model a high-order sliding mode observer is proposed. Then fractional calculus is combined with sliding mode control (SMC) for blood glucose regulation to create more robustness performance and make more degree of freedom and flexibility for the proposed method. Then an adaptive fractional-order SMC is proposed. The adaptive SMC protect controller against disturbance and uncertainties while the fractional calculus provides robust performance. Numerical simulation verifies that the proposed controllers have better performance in the presence of disturbance and uncertainties without chattering.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 12Adaptive Optics Corrections of Scintillations of Hermite-Gaussian Modes in an Oceanic Medium(Optical Soc Amer, 2020) Baykal, Yahya; 7812; 06.03. Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiAdaptive 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.

Çankaya ÜniversitesiThis 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.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 23Alternative Interpretation of the Edge-Diffraction Phenomenon(Optical Soc Amer, 2008) Umul, Yusuf Z.; 42699; 06.02.

N.; Frear, C.; Chen, S.; 45685; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.04. Endüstri MühendisliğiPoor 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.

Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiHere, the authors analyse the fractional-order predator-prey model with uncertainty, due to the vast applications in various ecological systems. The most of the ecological model do not have exact analytic solution, so they proposed a numerical technique for an approximate solution. In the proposed method, they have implemented the higher order term into the fractional Euler method to enhance the precise solution. Further, the present attempt is aimed to discuss the solutions of the FPPM with uncertainty (fuzzy) initial conditions. The initial conditions of the predator-prey model were taken as fuzzy initial conditions due to the fact that the ecological model highly depends on uncertain parameters such as growth/decay rate, climatic conditions, and chemical reactions. Finally, the numerical example manifest that the proposed method is authentic, applicable, easy to use from a computational viewpoint and the acquired outcomes are balanced with the existing method (HPM), which shows the efficiency of the proposed method.Article Citation - WoS: 12Analysis of Dengue Transmission Dynamic Model by Stability and Hopf Bifurcation With Two-Time Delays(Imr Press, 2023) Ambalarajan, Venkatesh; Sivakumar, Vinoth; Dhandapani, Prasantha Bharathi; Baleanu, Dumitru; Murugadoss, Prakash Raj; 56389; 02.02. Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiBackground: Mathematical models reflecting the epidemiological dynamics of dengue infection have been discovered dating back to 1970. The four serotypes (DENV-1 to DENV-4) that cause dengue fever are antigenically related but different viruses that are transmitted by mosquitoes. It is a significant global public health issue since 2.5 billion individuals are at risk of contracting the virus. Methods: The purpose of this study is to carefully examine the transmission of dengue with a time delay. A dengue transmission dynamic model with two delays, the standard incidence, loss of immunity, recovery from infectiousness, and partial protection of the human population was developed. Results: Both endemic equilibrium and illness-free equilibrium were examined in terms of the stability theory of delay differential equations. As long as the basic reproduction number (R0) is less than unity, the illness-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable; however, when R0 exceeds unity, the equilibrium becomes unstable. The existence of Hopf bifurcation with delay as a bifurcation parameter and the conditions for endemic equilibrium stability were examined. To validate the theoretical results, numerical simulations were done. Conclusions: The length of the time delay in the dengue transmission epidemic model has no effect on the stability of the illness-free equilibrium. Regardless, Hopf bifurcation may occur depending on how much the delay impacts the stability of the underlying equilibrium. This mathematical modelling is effective for providing qualitative evaluations for the recovery of a huge population of afflicted community members with a time delay.Article Citation - WoS: 66Citation - Scopus: 86Analysis of Fractional Model of Guava for Biological Pest Control With Memory Effect(Elsevier, 2021) Ganbari, Behzad; Kumar, Devendra; Baleanu, Dumitru; Singh, Jagdev; 56389; 02.02. Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiIntroduction: Fractional operators find their applications in several scientific and engineering processes. We consider a fractional guava fruit model involving a non-local additionally non-singular fractional derivative for the interaction into guava pests and natural enemies. The fractional guava fruit model is considered as a Lotka-Volterra nature. Objectives: The main objective of this work is to study a guava fruit model associated with a non-local additionally non-singular fractional derivative for the interaction into guava pests and natural enemies. Methods: Existence and uniqueness analysis of the solution is evaluated effectively by using Picard Lindelof approach. An approximate numerical solution of the fractional guava fruit problem is obtained via a numerical scheme. Results: The positivity analysis and equilibrium analysis for the fractional guava fruit model is discussed. The numerical results are demonstrated to prove our theoretical results. The graphical behavior of solution of the fractional guava problem at the distinct fractional order values and at various parameters is discussed. Conclusion: The graphical behavior of solution of the fractional guava problem at the distinct fractional order values and at various parameters shows new vista and interesting phenomena of the model. The results are indicating that the fractional approach with non-singular kernel plays an important role in the study of different scientific problems. The suggested numerical scheme is very efficient for solving nonlinear fractional models of physical importance. (C) 2021 The Authors.

Elektronik ve Haberleşme Mühendisliği; 06.03. Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiIn a turbulent atmosphere, starting with a cos-Gaussian excitation at the source plane, the average intensity profile at the receiver plane is formulated. This average intensity profile is evaluated against the variations of link lengths, turbulence levels, two frequently used free-space optics wavelengths, and beam displacement parameters. We show that a cos-Gaussian beam, following a natural diffraction, is eventually transformed into a cosh-Gaussian beam. Combining our earlier results with the current findings, we conclude that cos-Gaussian and cosh-Gaussian beams act in a reciprocal manner after propagation in turbulence. The rates (paces) of conversion in the two directions are not the same. Although the conversion of cos-Gaussian beams to cosh-Gaussian beams can happen over a wide range of turbulence levels (low to moderate to high), the conversion of cosh-Gaussian beams to cos-Gaussian beams is pronounced under relatively stronger turbulence conditions. Source and propagation parameters that affect this reciprocity have been analyzed.

The safety awareness and safety behaviors has an average score of 3.85 +/- 0.81 and 3.56 +/- 0.82, respectively. The safety awareness and safety behavior levels of healthcare professionals were found to be high. Conclusion: A significant positive correlation was found between safety awareness and safety behaviors and it was concluded that the increase in safety awareness led to an increase in safety behavior.Article Analytical Results for Positivity of Discrete Fractional Operators With Approximation of the Domain of Solutions(Amer inst Mathematical Sciences-aims, 2022) O'Regan, Donal; Baleanu, Dumitru; Hamed, Y. S.; Elattar, Ehab E.; Mohammed, Pshtiwan Othman; 56389; 02.02. Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiWe study the monotonicity method to analyse nabla positivity for discrete fractional operators of Riemann-Liouville type based on exponential kernels, where ((CFR)(c0)del F-theta)(t) > -epsilon Lambda(theta - 1) (del F)(c(0) + 1) such that (del F)(c(0) + 1) >= 0 and epsilon > 0. Next, the positivity of the fully discrete fractional operator is analyzed, and the region of the solution is presented. Further, we consider numerical simulations to validate our theory. Finally, the region of the solution and the cardinality of the region are discussed via standard plots and heat map plots. The figures confirm the region of solutions for specific values of epsilon and theta.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 43Annular Beam Scintillations in Strong Turbulence(Optical Soc Amer, 2010) Gercekcioglu, Hamza; Baykal, Yahya; Nakiboglu, Cem; 7812; 06.03. Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiA 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.

Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiDiffusion 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.

Çankaya Üniversitesi; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 02.04. PsikolojiWith the acceleration of internet use, problematic social media use (PSMU) is included in our lives. When looking at the antecedents of PSMU, being young has been found to be a risk factor for PSMU. In addition to the benefits of technological advances in education and training, rapid technological developments may also result in problematic behaviors, especially among children and young. Recently, possibilities brought by technology and more widespread use of technology by young people have created a new concept, namely, cyberbullying. The present study aims to examine the effects of attachment anxiety and avoidance on PSMU and cyberbullying as with the partial mediating effects of the Dark Triad personality traits, angry rejection sensitivity, and anxious rejection sensitivity among adolescents. In general, the findings supported the proposed theoretical model. The results are discussed in terms of theoretical and practical implications along with suggestions for future research.Article Citation - WoS: 25Citation - Scopus: 25Aperture Averaging in Multiple-Input Single-Output Free-Space Optical Systems Using Partially Coherent Radial Array Beams(Optical Soc Amer, 2016) Baykal, Yahya; Uysal, Murat; Gokce, Muhsin Caner; 28643; 7812; 124615; 06.02. Elektronik ve Haberleşme Mühendisliği; 06.03. Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiMultiple-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.

Çankaya Üniversitesi; 02.02. Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat FakültesiQuantitative 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.

Çankaya ÜniversitesiUnemployment 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.
