Differentiating Styles of Alteration within Kaolin-Alunite Hydrothermal Deposits of Çanakkale, NW Turkey

The Biga Peninsula of NW Turkey is host to many kaolin and halloysite deposits with mineralization occurring at the intersections of fault zones in contact with Late Eocene.Miocene calc-alkaline volcanic rocks. Distinguishing between the relative overprinting of hypogene by supergene processes in these deposits is a challenge and important because they affect the physical-chemical properties of minerals and their potential for industrial applications. This study examines the Sarıbeyli-Sığırlı and Bodurlar kaolin deposits in NW Turkey, which were formed from similar volcanics as evidenced by 40Ar/39Ar. Late Eocene (34.2 ± 0.20 Ma) to Early Oligocene (32.7 ± 0.17 Ma) ages for both primary volcanic rocks and alunites are consistent with surrounding rocks in the Çanakkale region. Criteria used to distinguish hypogene alteration from supergene alteration processes come from X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM), and elemental analyses. Isotopic δ18O depletion and δD enrichment of the Sarıbeyli-Sığırlı deposit suggests that it was more influenced by magmatic waters than was the Bodurlar deposit. The Bodurlar deposit contains a paucity of dickite compared to the Sarıbeyli-Sığırlı deposit, which is evidenced by lower TGA endotherms, higher ratios of XRD intensities for reflections at 1.316 Å and 1.307 Å, distinctive FTIR absorbance bands at 3620 cm− 1 and 3652 cm−1, and relative Raman intensities of the γ1 and γ5 vibrational modes.A genetic model is proposed whereby these deposits are mainly formed through an acid-sulfate hydrothermal alteration, in what appears to be a volcanic-hydrothermal system. The extent of hydrothermal alteration was controlled by fault density and the initial texture of the volcanic rocks. These steam-heated environments included sulfide-enriched vapors and groundwater mixed to varying degrees in the vadose zone. The Sarıbeyli-Sığrlı and Bodurlar deposits, respectively, contain mineral assemblages that reflect both hypogene (kaolinite, alunite, dickite) and supergene (kaolinite, halloysite, jarosite) processes. These observations offer a basis for comparing and discriminating the relative influence of these two important alteration processes responsible for the formation of kaolin deposits in NW Turkey and around the world.
Recovery of Burn Stasis Zone Using Pentoxifylline and Milrinone in an Experimental Burn Model Established For Rats

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) and milrinone on the stasis zone in rats for which an experimental burn model was established. Method: In this study with an experimental design, PTX and milrinone 5-phosphodiesterase inhibitors were administered orally and intraperitoneally to rats for which an experimental burn model was created. The effects of these pharmacological agents on the stasis zone and comparison of these effects with each other were investigated. In the study, 56 4-monthold female rats of Wistar albino type with a weight of 200 ± 10% g were used. The rats were divided into seven groups. The burn model defined by Regas and Erlich was applied to 48 rats under anesthesia. Groups 1, 2, and 3 were defined as the sham group, intraperitoneal control group, and oral control group, respectively. Drugs were administered to groups for 10 days as follows: PTX intraperitoneally daily at a dose of 50 mg/kg to Group 4, PTX orally daily at a dose of 50 mg/kg to Group 5, milrinone intraperitoneally daily at a dose of 1 mg/kg to Group 6, and milrinone orally daily at a dose of 1 mg/kg to Group 7. All rats were sacrificed on the 10th day of the experiment. Serum samples for the biochemical levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase were taken as well as tissue samples for the histopathological study of these. Results: Pathologically, edema, hyperemia, epithelial degeneration, necrosis, inflammatory filtration, and fibrosis measurements were taken. Compared to the control group, the tissue damage score was lower in all treated groups. MDA levels were lower in the intraperitoneal and oral PTX administered group than in the control group, while SOD, catalase, and GPx levels were higher. MDA levels were lower in the intraperitoneal and oral milrinoneadministered group than in the control group, and SOD, catalase, and GPx levels were higher. In addition, it was found that MDA levels were lower and SOD, catalase, and GPx levels were higher in the intraperitoneal PTX-administered group than in the intraperitoneal milrinone-administered group. It was found that MDA levels were lower and SOD, catalase, and GPx levels were higher in the oral PTX-administered group than in the oral milrinone-administered group. Conclusion: As a result of our study, it was shown that PTX and milrinone reduce oxidative stress and have positive effects, improving wound healing in the burn model established for the rats.
MARG Sensor-Based Attitude Estimation on SO(3) Under Unknown External Acceleration

In many applications, attitude estimation algorithms rely mainly on magnetic and inertial measurements from MARG sensors (consisting of a magnetometer, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer). One of the main challenges facing these algorithms is that the accelerometer measures both gravity and an unknown external acceleration, while these algorithms assume that the accelerometer measures only the gravity. In this letter, an attitude estimation algorithm on the special orthogonal group SO(3) is designed, considering the external acceleration as an unknown input with direct feedthrough to the output, with a local approximation approach. The proposed algorithm is validated through Monte Carlo simulations and real datasets, demonstrating better accuracy and enhanced performance than existing solutions.
Formation Control for UAV-USVs Heterogeneous System with Collision Avoidance Performance

This paper investigates the cooperative formation trajectory tracking problem for heterogeneous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and multiple unmanned surface vessel (USV) systems with collision avoidance performance. Firstly, a formation control protocol based on extended state observer (ESO) is proposed to ensure that the UAV and the USVs track the target trajectory simultaneously in the XY plane. Then, the collision avoidance control strategy of USV formation based on artificial potential field (APF) theory is designed. Specifically, the APF method is improved by reconstructing the repulsive potential field to make the collision avoidance action of USVs more in line with the requirements of International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGs). Following that, an altitude controller for the UAV is proposed to maintain the cooperative formation of the heterogeneous systems. Based on the input-to-state stability, the stability of the proposed control structure is proven, and all the signals in the closed-loop system are ultimately bounded. Finally, a simulation study is provided to show the efficacy of the proposed strategy.

Application of unmanned aerial image application red tide monitoring on the aquaculture fields in the coastal waters of the South Sea, Korea

매년 여름 우리나라 양식업에 피해를 입히는 적조를 탐지하기 위한 연구는 대부분 인공위성을 이용하였으나 양식장에 대한 정보는 인공위성으로 산출하기에는 한계를 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 무인항공기를 이용한 연안촬영과 그 산출물을 이용하여 적조를 탐지하는 기법을 제시하였다. 그 결과 높은 해상도를 가진 무인항공영상을 획득 할 수 있었으며 색상을 이용한 무감독 분류와 가시광영역의 세 가지 분광밴드를 이용한 단순 알고리즘을 이용하여 적조를 탐지하였다. 기존의 천연색 영상에 비하여 시각적으로 명확한 해수색의 구분이 가능하였으며 적조의 해수면 분포를 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 방법은 양식장이 설치되어있는 연안에서 더욱 정확한 적조의 분포 상황을 모니터링 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
Skin\Leather Quality of Some Sudan Goats under Range Condition

This study was designed to investigate the effect of breed and feeding level before slaughter on the skin\leather quality of the three main breeds of Sudangoats. Thirty (30) pieces of fresh skins from the three goat breeds (an average age 1-1.5 years) were chosen for the study purpose. For whole variations between the three breeds in two levels of feeding (poor and rich pastures) Complete Randomized Design (CRD) was used for data analysis. The results revealed that, leather weight (kg), elongation%, tensile strength (kg/cm 2 ), cracking load (kg), thickness (mm), tear load (kg/cm) and chrome% findings were significantly affected (P≥0.05) by breed variation. Flexibility, moisture%, Ash% and fat % were not significantly affected (P ≥ 0.05) by breed. On the other hand, skin weight (kg), Cracking load (kg), Tear load (kg/cm) and Ash% were significantly affected (P≥0.05) by pasture quality. While Leather Elongation%, Tensile strength (kg/cm 2 ), Thickness (mm), Flexibility, Moisture%, Fat % and Chrome% were not statistically (P ≥ 0.05) affected by pastures quality.
Classical observations and stable isotopes for identification the diagenesis of Jeribe formation at Jambour oil Fields-Kurdistan Region-Iraq

Abstract Jeribe Formation in two subsurface sections were studied using samples from two wells of Jambour oil field, Kirkuk area-northern Iraq to determine its petrographical characteristics, microfacies, depositional environment, and diagenetic signatures based on δ18O and δ13C isotope analysis. Three main types of associated microfacies were detected: mudstone, wackestone, and packestone/grainstone. The inspected formation experienced various diagenetic processes. The well-preserved dolomitization and pressure-solution and stylolitic microstructures bring a new insight in form of the paragenetic sequence. The isotopic signature data revealed that the positive covariance of 18O and 13C isotopes is closely associated with infiltration of meteoric water during the mesogenesis.
Comparison of Different Turbulence Models and Wall Treatment Methods for Vehicle Aerodynamics Investigations

In this paper two different turbulence models and wall treatment methods were investigated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The used geometry for the research was the Ahmed body. The Ahmed body is a widely used geometry in vehicle aerodynamics investigations. The geometry represents a simplified vehicle, which allows the researchers to make examinations with moderate resources. The simulations were made in Ansys Fluent. The environment of the simulation was built to optimize for maximum 8 GB RAM. The paper examines the difference between the k-ω SST and the k-ε turbulence models in the case of low and high Reynolds number wall treatment methods. This could be useful because the high Reynolds number wall treatment method needs less computational capacity based on that, its required y+ range is between 30 and 300. While in the case of the low Reynolds wall treatment method the required y+ range is below 10, which could increase the cell count. The results from the CFD simulation will be compared to each other and with measured data. The aim of the research is to get information about behaviour of the examined turbulence models in the case of low and high Reynolds number wall treatment methods.
Etude sur la reproduction et suivi d'une population nicheuse de Blongios nain Ixobrychus minutus sur les étangs du Romelaere (Pas-de-Calais, France) en 1996

The census of a Little Bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) population was carried out in the North of France in 1996 using two different methods: counting of calling males and daily observation of the study site. The studied area covers 300 ha of lakes, market gardens, fallow land, reedbeds and natural grassland. Five to ten breeding pairs were found on the site. The main facts during the field work were the absence of any clear-cut calling periods of males, the observation of two matting displays, the immediate dispersion of both adults and juveniles after the latter had left the nest, as well as the diversity of the breeding sites (reedbeds of Typha latifolia and Phragmites australis, bushes, hawthorn and small willow-trees). The counting of calling males is not sufficient to estimate the importance of a population of breeding Little Bittern.
Macroeconomic Stability and Optimal Policy Mix

Public welfare and macroeconomic stability should be the main objectives of fiscal and monetary policy cooperation. Monetary and fiscal policy should be coordinated better to maintain sustainable economic development. To implement fiscal measures and monetary controls, a balanced budget is necessary. This study uses data from 1976 to 2022. A macroeconomic stability check uses real GDP, current account balance, exports, real effective exchange rate, broad money (M2), foreign exchange reserves, consumer price index (CPI), nominal exchange rate, government expenditures, and government tax revenue. The VAR models we use are Impulse Response Functions (IRFs) and Variance Decompositions (VDs). CMR feels a negative impact, TRY, whereas M2G, GY, and others feel a positive impact. Achieving output and price stability requires higher call money rates, more tax revenues, and reduced government spending. Output gaps should be negative.M2G and CABY are negatively correlated, whereas CABY and CMR are positively correlated. If there is a negative output gap, monetary aggregates and taxes conflict with price and production stability; however, policy should aim to increase the current account balance. We recommend strict fiscal and monetary policy measures to stabilize output and limit inflation whenever there is a positive output gap. In addition to strengthening trade and foreign exchange reserves, reduced government spending will stabilize exchange rates; however, increasing tax revenue will counteract these benefits by strengthening the current account.
The Clinical Utility of FLT3 Mutation Testing in Acute Leukemia: A Canadian Consensus

FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations are detected in approximately 20–30% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with the presence of a FLT3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutation being associated with an inferior outcome. Assessment of FLT3 mutational status is now essential to define optimal upfront treatment in both newly diagnosed and relapsed AML, to support post-induction allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) decision-making, and to evaluate treatment response via measurable (minimal) residual disease (MRD) evaluation. In view of its importance in AML diagnosis and management, the Canadian Leukemia Study Group/Groupe canadien d’étude sur la leucémie (CLSG/GCEL) undertook the development of a consensus statement on the clinical utility of FLT3 mutation testing, as members reported considerable inter-center variability across Canada with respect to testing availability and timing of use, methodology, and interpretation. The CLSG/GCEL panel identified key clinical and hematopathological questions, including: (1) which patients should be tested for FLT3 mutations, and when? ; (2) which is the preferred method for FLT3 mutation testing? ; (3) what is the clinical relevance of FLT3-ITD size, insertion site, and number of distinct FLT3-ITDs? ; (4) is there a role for FLT3 analysis in MRD assessment? ; (5) what is the clinical relevance of the FLT3-ITD allelic burden? ; and (6) how should results of FLT3 mutation testing be reported? The panel followed an evidence-based approach, taken together with Canadian clinical and laboratory experience and expertise, to create a consensus document to facilitate a more uniform approach to AML diagnosis and treatment across Canada.
Learnable Leakage and Onset-Spiking Self-Attention in SNNs with Local Error Signals

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have garnered significant attention due to their computational patterns resembling biological neural networks. However, when it comes to deep SNNs, how to focus on critical information effectively and achieve a balanced feature transformation both temporally and spatially becomes a critical challenge. To address these challenges, our research is centered around two aspects: structure and strategy. Structurally, we optimize the leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron to enable the leakage coefficient to be learnable, thus making it better suited for contemporary applications. Furthermore, the self-attention mechanism is introduced at the initial time step to ensure improved focus and processing. Strategically, we propose a new normalization method anchored on the learnable leakage coefficient (LLC) and introduce a local loss signal strategy to enhance the SNN’s training efficiency and adaptability. The effectiveness and performance of our proposed methods are validated on the MNIST, FashionMNIST, and CIFAR-10 datasets. Experimental results show that our model presents a superior, high-accuracy performance in just eight time steps. In summary, our research provides fresh insights into the structure and strategy of SNNs, paving the way for their efficient and robust application in practical scenarios.

Comparative Genomic Analysis of Cutibacterium spp. Isolates in Implant-Associated Infections

Bacteria of the genus Cutibacterium are Gram-positive commensals and opportunistic pathogens that represent a major challenge in the diagnosis and treatment of implant-associated infections (IAIs). This study provides insight into the distribution of different sequence types (STs) of C. acnes, and the presence of virulence factors (VFs) in 64 Cutibacterium spp. isolates from suspected or confirmed IAIs obtained during routine microbiological diagnostics. Fifty-three C. acnes, six C. avidum, four C. granulosum, and one C. namnetense isolate, collected from different anatomical sites, were included in our study. Using whole-genome sequencing and a single-locus sequencing typing scheme, we successfully characterized all C. acnes strains and revealed the substantial diversity of STs, with the discovery of six previously unidentified STs. Phylotype IA1, previously associated with both healthy skin microbiome and infections, was the most prevalent, with ST A1 being the most common. Some minor differences in STs’ distribution were observed in correlation with anatomical location and association with infection. A genomic analysis of 40 investigated VFs among 64 selected strains showed no significant differences between different STs, anatomical sites, or infection-related and infection undetermined/unlikely groups of strains. Most differences in VF distribution were found between strains of different Cutibacterium spp. , subspecies, and phylotypes, with CAMP factors, biofilm-related VFs, lipases, and heat shock proteins identified in all analyzed Cutibacterium spp.
Regional Homogeneity of the Left Posterior Cingulate Gyrus May Be a Potential Imaging Biomarker of Manic Episodes in First-Episode, Drug-Naive Bipolar Disorder

Introduction Abnormal brain networks with emotional response in bipolar disorder (BD). However, there have been few studies on the local consistency between manic episodes in drug-naive first-episode BD patients and healthy controls (HCs). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the utility of neural activity values analyzed by Regional Homogeneity (ReHo). Methods Thirty-seven manic episodes in first-episode, drug-naive BD patients and 37 HCs participated in resting-state functional magnetic resonance rescanning and scale estimation. Reho and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve methods were used to analyze the imaging data. Support vector machine (SVM) method was used to analyze ReHo in different brain regions. Results Compared to HCs, ReHo increased in the left middle temporal gyrus (MTG.L), posterior cingulate gyrus (PCG), inferior parietal gyrus, and bilateral angular gyrus, and decreased in the left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus in target group. The ROC results showed that the ReHo value of the left PCG could discriminate the target group from the HCs, and the AUC was 0.8766. In addition, the results of the support vector machine show that the increase in ReHo value in the left PCG can effectively discriminate the patients from the controls, with accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 86.02%, 86.49%, and 81.08%, respectively. Conclusion The increased activity of the left PCG may contribute new evidence of participation in the pathophysiology of manic episodes in first-episode, drug-naive BD patients. The Reho value of the left posterior cingulate gyrus may be a potential neuroimaging biomarker to discriminate target group from HCs.
