Dr. Yucel Yanikdag – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Yucel Yanikdag, Associate Professor of History discusses his new book, Healing the Nation: Prisoners of War, Medicine and Nationalism in Turkey, 1914-1939, published recently by Edinburgh University Press. In this book, he explores how Ottoman prisoners of war and military doctors of the First World War discursively constructed their nation as a community, and at the same time attempted to exclude certain groups from that nation. Yanikdag aims to broaden the discussion of nationalism to explore how ideological and biological factors influenced each other
Characterization and comparison of mine wastes in Can Coal Basin, northwest Turkey: a case study
No full textThe Can Coal Basin is a major coal-producing site in northwest Turkey that has faced acid mine drainage problems since the 1980s. This study characterized and compared mine wastes from the Etili and Comakli open-pit coal mines in the Can Coal Basin physically, mineralogically, and geochemically for acid mine drainage potential and metal(loid) mobility. Mineralogical analysis determined pyrite to be the major sulfide mineral in the Etili and Comakli coal and mine wastes, while dolomite and calcite were abundant in the mine wastes from the Comakli site. Concentrations of Al, As, Mn, and Pb in these mine wastes are higher than in Turkish and world coals. The enrichment factor showed moderate enrichment of Pb and significant enrichment of As in the Etili and Comakli mine wastes, respectively. Static tests indicated acid generation potential in all Etili and some Comakli mine wastes. The modified synthetic precipitation leaching procedure revealed that greater concentrations of Al, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and SO42- were released from pyrite-rich mine wastes. Physical, mineralogical, and geochemical factors affecting acid mine drainage were highly variable within and between sites. Increasing concern over significant environmental health effects of low-pH, metal(loid)-polluted mine wastes necessitates remediation of the mine sites.Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University [FBA-2016-759]This research was partly supported by the Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University under FBA-2016-759 numbered project.

The Interaction of Painting and Music
No full textAbstractThe relationship between different artistries is an interesting concept for both the academicians who are in related organizations and artists in these organizations. The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between emotions that is a result of painting which has both abstract and real concepts and emotions that is a result of music which has generally abstract concept. The total field under this survey is Gazi University and the sample is the students in the Faculty of Vocational Education, Painting Department. The qualitative information will be acquired via observation method and this qualitative information will be transformed to quantitative information by using statistical analysis. At the end of the study, the relationship between painting and music will be determined and there will be some necessary suggestions
Retrospective Analyses of 200 Patients Over 65 Years Receiving Albumin Treatment in Intensive Care Unit
No full textEfficacy Levels of Organic Acids are Used for Controlling Varroa (Varroa jacobsoni Qudemans) and Their Effects on Colony Development of Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)
No full textThis study was carried out to determine the effects of using formic and oxalic acids against Varroa jacobsoni Q. which is the most hazardous parasite of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) alternately in different seasons on the efficiency in Varroa treatment and colony development of honey bees. About 35 honey bee colonies in same of queen ages (1 year old) from Buckfast race were used in the research. Colonies were equalized for natural varroa levels and adult-brood bee population, prior to the research. Colonies were selected randomly as 2 treatment groups with 14 colonies and one control group with 7 colonies in the autumn and then the treatment goups were divided into 2 for using organic acids alternately so, 5 research groups (O/F, O/O, F/F, F/O and control) were used for the following spring. Varroa levels, treatment effectiveness, adult bee and brood population growth of groups were determined in autumn and spring, before and after the research. In autumn and spring experiments, Varroa infestation levels of the treatment groups were significantly reduced after the oxalic and formic acid applications (p0.05)
A Thematic Review of Preservice Teacher Education Research in Turkey and Reflections of Teacher Education Policies
No full textPurpose of this study is to examine trends in preservice teacher education research in Turkey in terms of topic, purpose and method through thematic content analysis and to evaluate the trends in terms of teacher education policies. To this end, 479 articles related to preservice teacher education and published in three rooted journals since 1970 were examined. According to the results, nine themes were extracted and the most widely studied topics were identified as: subject and pedagogical knowledge and attitudes of teacher candidates, evaluation of teacher education program or its components, effects of instructional methods/approaches, information and communication technologies in teacher education and teacher education institutions. Quantitative paradigm is still dominant but an increase in qualitative and mixed studies has been observed since 2000. In terms of policies, problems expressed in the studies prior to 1997 were the issues leading to the 1997 restructuring reform. From this point of view, it can be inferred that these studies might have fed the 1997 reform. On the other hand, after 1997, the studies examined the results and effects of the 1997 restructuring and the 2006 revision reforms; for this reason, it is implied that the policies might have given direction to the studies conducted in this period of time
Comparisons of Mugla Ecotype and Italian Cross Honey Bees for Some Performances in Aegean Region (Turkey)
No full textIn this research, colony population growth, brood production, attractiveness, flight activity and honey production of Mugla ecotype and Italian cross honey bees have determined and evaluated with comparison in Aegean Region. Genotype effect did not found statistically important on colony population growth and brood production (P>0.05). Flight activity and honey yields of Italian cross honey bees determined more higher than Mugla ecotype whereas Mugla ecotype showed better performance than Italian cross for adaptation of environmental condition. At the end of the research, determining of performance characteristics and protecting of Mugla ecotype that of Aegean Region is suggested with making breeding programs
Risk Assessment in Surgical Patients: American Society of Anesthesiologist’s (ASA) Classification vs Intraoperative Therapeutic and Diagnostic Interventions (I-ITS)
No full textAn experimental study on friction reducing polymers in turbulent pipe flow
No full textAn experimental study was conducted to search the reduction of friction in fully developed turbulent pipe flow using different types of polyacrylamides as friction reducing polymers. Pressure drop measurements determined the friction reduction. Three different polymer types Superfloc A110, Superfloc A130 and Superfloc A150 were used to examine the effect of polymer concentration, Reynolds number and polymer type on friction reduction. The Darcy friction factor was obtained for each polymer type at the polymer concentration ranging from 0 to 500 wppm and a Reynolds number range of 10000-80000. It was observed that friction factor decreased with increment in polymer concentration and Reynolds number for each polymer. Higher molecular weight polymers are more effective at reducing friction. With increasing concentration of polymer, the measured data approaches the Virk asymptote, which represents the maximum friction reduction limit by the polymers. The percentage of friction reduction increased with increasing concentration of polymer up to 100 wppm for each polymer type and then began to decrease for polymer concentrations higher than 100 wppm. An empirical formula was obtained to calculate the Darcy friction factor as a function of Reynolds number and polymer concentration for Superfloc A110.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Marine and Transport Technolog
