However, the data generated and collected, which are irrelevant in and of themselves, become useful only when they are analyzed for a specific reason. Data mining may transform raw data into useful information. In the present study, classification and analysis of denim fabric quality characteristics according to denim fabric production parameters were carried out. The present study proposes a new classification rule inference algorithm. The suggested approach is mostly based on Artificial Bee Colony Optimization (ABC), a swarm intelligence meta-heuristic. In each step of the algorithm, there are two phases called the employed bee phase and the onlooker bee phase. This algorithm has been compared with the classification algorithms in the related literature. This proposed algorithm is a new data mining tool that intelligently combines various metaheuristic and neural networks and can generate classification rules. The results indicate that the proposed data mining algorithms may be highly useful in determining weight and width in denim fabric manufacture.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48598620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These materials are widely used in medicine because they are compatible with the organism, are not allergic, and are resistant to physical and chemical factors. Hydroxyapatites are bioactive calcium phosphate ceramics that are compatible with tissues. To increase their bioactivity, nano-sized hydroxyapatite has been produced. Although there are advantages to the use of nanoparticles in the medical field, the potentially toxic effects of these materials on the environment and human health are of concern. It is also one of the topics to be investigated whether the different forms of the same nanoparticle will cause differences in genotoxicity. In this study, the potential genotoxic effects of rod and round forms of nano-sized hydroxyapatites (nHAs) were evaluated in Allium cepa Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (COMET) method. According to the results, the round form of nHA in the A. cepa meristem root tip cells caused statistically significant genotoxicity at 25 ppm concentration in terms of tail density and tail moment. This study showed small-sized-nanohydroxyapatite-induced genotoxicity and cell death in A. cepa. This study has shown that the physical properties of nanoparticles affect potential toxicity mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46673680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanical behaviour of the beam is treated by a viscoelastic model having two linear springs and a linear dashpot. The beam is continuously inhomogeneous along its thickness. Therefore, the modulii of elasticity of the springs and the coefficient of viscosity of the dashpot vary smoothly along the thickness of the beam. The compliance method is applied to derive a solution of the strain energy release rate for the lengthwise crack in the beam structure. The J-integral is used for verification. The stress-strain-time dependence of the viscoelastic model is applied for describing the behavior of the beam when obtaining solutions of the strain energy release rate and the J-integral. Solutions are derived for both positive and negative angle of rotation of the lower crack arm free end (when the angle is positive, the upper crack arm is free of stresses, while at negative angle both crack arms are loaded). The effects of various factors including the sign of the angle of rotation on the strain energy release rate are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135223036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, in this study, the change of these parameters with the effect of the wave is examined. It is observed that these parameter values increased with increasing wave height. It is observed that the dynamic pressure and moment of the turbine rise with the increase of the wavelength. However, the speed of rotation of the turbine decreased with the increase of the wavelength. The force coming to the blades did not change with the increase of the wavelength, it only caused a delay in time. However, it was observed that a very high force was applied to the turbine blades with a wave height of 2 m and this value reached 8000 N. In addition, the maximum turbine speed was obtained at a wavelength of 2 m and a wavelength of 20 m, reaching 87 mm / s.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42975699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shortly, more toxicity implies more growth inhibition. Then, the question arises; How to calculate & evaluate cell growth inhibition in a universal manner? Actually, the method for calculating growth inhibition is not considered to be a central issue, in general. There are various approaches for calculating cell growth. Among these approaches, two of them are highly easy and popular, subtraction-based and division-based calculations. However, these two methods for the calculation of cell growth do not strongly reflect the nature of cell growth. Alternatively, the use of a doubling number-based formulation can provide a better approach and performance in the evaluation of cell growth and cell growth inhibition unless the culture attains the confluent status.

This study proposes a nurse scheduling model based on nurses’ skill levels incorporated into a decision support system. The skill level of nurses is assessed using Analytic Hierarchy Process and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution method based on eight criteria. The nurse scheduling problem is then modeled with 0-1 Goal Programming, considering the skill assessment as a constraint. The applicability of the proposed model is examined for the assignment and scheduling conditions of nurses at the 3rd level of surgical intensive care in a general hospital, and the valuable aspects of the proposed approach are discussed. When the proposed solution is compared with the current situation, it is realized that one nurse is saved without worsening the constraints.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47871289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study presented here aims to give the results obtained by the DFT methods and in silico medicinal evaluations of a newly synthesized small molecule. The small molecule belongs to the Schiff base class of organic compounds and is substituted with halogen atoms. The tetrahalogenated compound (THSB) Schiff base, 2-(((2,4-dichlorophenyl)imino)methyl)-3,4-difluorophenol, was first synthesized via the classical condensation method and then characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The THSB optimized by the B3LYP method was evaluated in terms of geometrical parameters, surface area (MEP and Hirshfeld analysis) and secondary interaction analysis, NLO properties, and electronic properties (HOMO-LUMO and UV-Vis). Second, THSB was evaluated regarding medicinal chemistry, physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, and toxicity (ADMET). Then, we comprehensively investigated the potential biological targets of THSB. Using the results of the SwissSimilarity analysis, we investigated the antagonistic effects of THSB against serotonin 5-HT2A and dopamine D2 receptors. Docking results were compared with the known antipsychotics, clozapine and risperidone. THSB showed a higher antagonistic effect than clozapine for the D2 receptor. However, risperidone proved to be the most effective antagonist for both targets. The binding energies of THSB, risperidone, and clozapine were -8.30, -11.84, and -8.07 kcal/mol, respectively, for D2; those of THSB, risperidone, and clozapine were -6.94, -11.47, and -10.10 kcal/mol, respectively, for 5-HT2A.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42338907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of the indicated approach in all three selected locations was evaluated using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Coefficient of Determination (R2), and Mean Percentage Error (MPE) error analysis tests, according to the results. Also estimated for all three regions were wind power densities, which are one of the most essential metrics for estimating a region's wind energy potential. WDF power densities were estimated and compared to real wind power densities generated from measured wind data in three different places.

After combined treatment, several mutants were obtained. Among these mutants, the mutant strain with the largest proteolytic zone diameter (25 mm) was selected and named Bacillus subtilis ATA38. The enzyme production capacity of the obtained mutant was tested and the mutant strain (404 IU/mL at 24 hours) produced 6.7 times more enzyme than the parental strain (60 IU/mL at 32 hours). The effects of some important parameters in the growth medium on enzyme production were examined. The best carbon, organic nitrogen and metal ion were obtained with wheat starch (525 IU/mL), meat extract (850 IU/mL) and KCl+CaCl2 (548 IU/mL), respectively. pH 6.0, 37°C, 200 rpm, inoculum age 18 hours and inoculation amount 1% were obtained as the best physical factors.To further increase the yield, the best nutritional and physical parameters were combined to create a new modified medium. It was determined that the enzyme yield with mutant strain increased 2.7 times in the modified medium (1096 IU/mL) compared to the control (404 U/mL). The mutant strain (1096 IU/mL) showed an 18.2-fold increase in production compared to the wild type (60 IU/mL) in the modified medium.
