In-situ Rb-Sr geochronology of white mica in young metamafic and metasomatic rocks from Syros: testing the limits of LA-ICP-MS/MS mica dating using different anchoring approaches
Authors: Muñoz-Montecinos Jesús , Giuliani Andrea , Oesch Senan , Volante Silvia , Peters Bradley , Behr Whitney
Published: July 2024

Abstract. The recent development of LA-ICP-MS/MS has revolutionized Rb-Sr mica dating allowing to obtain isotopic data within their microstructural context. While effective for old and felsic materials, this method presents challenges for young metamafic and metasomatic rocks due to limited radiogenic ingrowth associated with low Rb/Sr and young ages. We quantitatively address these limitations by combining laser ablation ICP-MS/MS and MC-ICP-MS data for coexisiting white mica and epidote, respectively, for 10 Cenozoic metamorphic rocks from Syros Island (Greece). White mica analyses from metamafic and metasomatic rocks yield limited Rb/Sr spread, which typically does not exceed one order of magnitude (87Rb/86Sr = 14 to 231 for the combined dataset), and low radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr (generally <0.8), resulting in high age uncertainties of typically 10 to 50 % RSE, and thus hampering robust geological interpretations. Epidote 87Sr/86Sr values range between ~0.705 and 0.708. The former (lower-end) is expected for typical, unaltered metamafic materials, whereas the latter is interpreted to reflect fluid-rock interaction along shear zones, with fluids derived from or having interacted with  more radiogenic lithologies. These atypical values suggest that a commonly assumed value of 0.703 for mafic rocks may not always be representative. Anchoring white mica Rb/Sr to epidote 87Sr/86Sr data improves age accuracy and precision substantially (e.g., 29 ± 17 Ma vs 47.2 ± 4.4 Ma for sample SYGR36). The new ages obtained in this study are consistent with multiple events previously recorded in Syros and the Cyclades blueschists unit including: i) metasomatism at near-peak to epidote blueschist-facies during early exhumation (47.2 ± 3.8 Ma to 41.1 ± 3.1); ii) a late stage of high-pressure exhumation and metasomatism transitioning to blueschist-greenschist-facies (20.8 ± 3.1 Ma to 19.8 ± 5.2 Ma). Anchored white mica Rb/Sr dates thus allow us to discriminate events of fluid-rock interactions and metasomatism associated with shear zone deformation at the subduction interface.
Sea ice melt pond bathymetry reconstructed from aerial photographs using photogrammetry: a new method applied to MOSAiC data

Published: July 2024

Abstract. Melt ponds are a core component of the summer sea ice system in the Arctic, increasing the uptake of solar energy and impacting the ice-associated ecosystem. They were thus one of the key topics during the 1-year drift campaign Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) in the Transpolar Drift 2019/2020. Pond depth is a dominating factor in describing the surface meltwater volume; it is necessary to estimate budgets and used in model parameterization to simulate pond coverage evolution. However, observational data on pond depth are spatially and temporally strongly limited to a few in situ measurements. Pond bathymetry, which is pond depth spatially fully resolved, remains unexplored. Here, we present a newly developed method to derive pond bathymetry from aerial images. We determine it from a photogrammetric multi-view reconstruction of the summer ice surface topography. Based on images recorded on dedicated grid flights and facilitated assumptions, we were able to obtain pond depth with a mean deviation of 3.5 cm compared to manual in situ observations. The method is independent of pond color and sky conditions, which is an advantage over recently developed radiometric airborne retrieval methods. It can furthermore be implemented in any typical photogrammetry workflow. We present the retrieval algorithm, including requirements for the data recording and survey planning, and a correction method for refraction at the air–pond interface. In addition, we show how the retrieved surface topography model synergizes with the initial image data to retrieve the water level of individual ponds from the visually determined pond margins. We use the method to give a profound overview of the pond coverage on the MOSAiC floe, on which we found unexpected steady pond coverage and volume. We were able to derive individual pond properties of more than 1600 ponds on the floe, including their size, bathymetry, volume, surface elevation above sea level, and temporal evolution. We present a scaling factor for single in situ depth measurements, discuss the representativeness of in situ pond measurements and the importance of such high-resolution data for new satellite retrievals, and show indications for non-rigid pond bottoms. The study points out the great potential to derive geometric properties of the summer sea ice surface emerging from the increasingly available visual image data recorded from uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) or aircraft, allowing for an integrated understanding and improved formulation of the thermodynamic and hydrological pond system in models.

Osmanlı Dönemi Erzurum’da Kamuya Ait Bazı Binaların Sigortalanması Süreci
Authors: Özger Yunus
Published: July 2024

Kamu binaları kısaca devlete ait hizmet binaları olarak tanımlanır. Osmanlı’da kamuya ait yapıların sigortalanması ilk defa 1901 yılında gündeme geldi. Esasen Osmanlı’nın sigorta sektörüyle tanışması, Avrupa’ya nazaran oldukça geç dönemde gerçekleşti. 19. Yüzyılın sonlarında ilk defa İstanbul merkezli bir sigorta şirketi kuruldu. Başta İstanbul olmak üzere bütün Osmanlı şehirlerinin en büyük korkusu yangınlardı. Kamu binalarının sigortalanması düşüncesi de yangın tehlikesinden korunmak için geliştirildi. İlgili bakanlıkların teklifleri üzerine hükümet tarafından bu doğrultuda kararlar alındı. Nihayetinde kamu binaları sigortalanmaya başladı. Bu bağlamda diğer pek çok şehir gibi Erzurum’da da devlete ait bazı binalar sürece dâhil oldu.
Bu makalede 1905-1912 yılları arasında Erzurum şehir merkezinde sigortalanan kamu yapıları hususu ele alındı. Bu evrede ilk olarak 1905’te Erzurum İnas Rüştiyesi (kız ortaokulu binası), ardından 1906’da Erzurum İdadisi binası ve son olarak 1912’de Erzurum Hükümet Konağı binası sigortalandı.
Kız ortaokulu Union Sigorta Şirketi tarafından sigortalandı. Diğer iki kurum binası ise Osmanlı Sigorta Şirketine sigorta ettirildi. Genel olarak kamu binalarının sigortalanmasında birinci etken yangınlardı. Erzurum’daki binaların sigortalanma sürecinde de yangınlar sonucu ortaya çıkacak maddi kayıplardan korunma fikri temel etkendi. Bununla beraber 1901 Erzurum depreminin yol açtığı yıkım ve yaşanan kayıplar da sigorta faaliyetlerindeki artışa dolaylı yoldan tesir etmiştir.

Türk dilinin söz dizimi çalışmalarına dâhil olan cümle ve cümlenin kuruluş aşaması ile ilişkilendirilen cümle tasnifleri hakkında çok sayıda çalışma yapılmıştır. Ancak bununla birlikte, ögelerinin dizilişine ve yüklemin yerine göre belirlenen iki ayrı cümle tipinden hareketle yapılan tasniflerde devrik – kurallı, düz - kuralsız gibi terimlerin ne kadar doğru olduğu tartışmaya açık bir husus olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, cümle tarifi ve cümle ögelerinin tasnifi konusundan ziyade cümlede biri kuruluş cümlesinin bildirimiyle cümlenin muhatabına aktarılma şartlarının bildirimi arasında bildirme karşıtlığı tesis eden, diğeri söz dizisinin fonetik uyumu temeline dayanan iki türlü yer ödünçlemesinden söz dizimi ile ilişkili olan morfolojik yer ödünçlemesi Nehcü’l-Ferādïs eseri temelinde incelenecektir. Bundan hareketle, Harezm sahasında yazılan ve Türk dil tarihi bakımından en önemli eserlerden biri olan Nehcü’l-Ferādïs’te geçen morfolojik yer ödünçlemeli örnekler tespit edilmiş olup farklı kategorilerde tasnif edilmiştir. Morfolojik yer ödünçlemesinin varlığı delilleri ile kanıtlanmış ve bunun neticesinde çeşitli hükümler çıkarılarak kayda değer tespitlerde bulunulmuştur.

The effect of Chlorophytum borivilianum extract against high-fat-diet-induced obesity is unknown. Therefore, this study investigates activity of 250 & 500 mg/kg/day of Chlorophytum borivilianum extract in male Wistar Albino rats, on parameters like weight gain, Follicle Stimulating Hormone, Luteinizing hormone, and Testosterone. The objective is to determine the effects of Chlorophytum Borivilianum extract against high-fat-diet-induced obesity in male Wistar Albino rats. It is an interventional, comparative, animal study of 60 days, conducted at KMCH College of Pharmacy, Coimbatore. 20 male Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into 5 experimental groups with 6 rats per group. At the end of experimental period, all rats were fasted overnight, weighted, and sacrificed within 24 hours by the mode of decapitation, and the blood was collected. Later, the organs were dissected out and fixed with formalin. The post-fixed tissue, slides were stained. Ethics committee approval was obtained initially. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS software. The Obese group showed an increase in body weight due to high-fat diet administration, whereas the Treatment group receiving Chlorophytum borivilianum extract showed reduction in body fat and improvement in the semen analysis when compared to control group. When treated with Chlorophytum borivilianum, body weight as well as sperm function of the animals were significantly improved mediated through enhanced spermatogenesis, steroid genesis, and antioxidant mechanisms with histological studies. Thus, findings reinforce the advice recommending consumption of Chlorophytum borivilianum extract to modulate obesity and sperm morphology.

20. yüzyıl tiyatrosu, tarihsel avangartlarla birlikte klasik temsil anlayışının karşısında teatrallik kavramının ortaya çıkması ve buna bağlı olarak tiyatronun araçlarını yeniden ele almasıyla birlikte kendini tekrar tekrar tanımlamıştır. Bu dönemde ortaya çıkan oyunculuk üzerine yöntem araştırmaları çağdaş tiyatro alanında varlığını sürdürmektedir. 20. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde başladığı yöntem araştırmasını ve uygulamasını günümüzde aktif olarak sürdüren yönetmen Theodoros Terzopoulos teatral eylemin merkezine oyuncuyu alan bir yönetmen olarak bugünün tiyatrosunu evrensel beden fikrini yeniden düşünmeye çağırır. Çünkü O’na göre çağımızda beden/beden fikri feshedilmiştir. Terzopoulos feshedilmiş beden düşüncesi karşısında evrensel beden düşüncesinden yola çıkarak oyuncunun sahnesel varlığı üzerinde Dionysosçu bir araştırmaya yönelmiştir. Terzopoulos anlamın, enerjinin, etkinin seyirciyle ilişkisi içinde kendinden türediği oynayan/icra eden Bedeni merkeze alır. Bu nedenle oyuncunun çalışmasında çağımızın feshedilmiş gündelik bedenini parçalayarak yeni bir oyuncu beden inşa edilmesi fikri üzerinde durur. Çalışma yönteminin ana eksenini belirleyen düşünce bu parçalanma ve yeniden bütünlenmedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma içinde Theodoros Terzopoulos’un çalışma yöntemi genel bir bakış açısıyla ve günümüzde uygulandığı şekliyle korporal çalışma, vokal çalışma, yapıbozum ve Sonsuz Doğaçlama evreleri ile ele alınmıştır.

The growing concern for a green economy increases the demand for sustainable energy. Previous studies massively concentrate on solutions to achieve the target of sustainable energy. However, limited studies focus on the contribution of stringency to sustainable energy. This study explores the contribution of environmental policy stringency and institutional quality on sustainable energy for the top 14 green economies by utilizing data from 1990 to 2022. In empirical analysis, the study applies the PMG-ARDL and CS-ARDL models to obtain the short- and long-run estimates. The study's findings indicate that after controlling the impact of technological innovation, foreign direct investment, population, economic globalization, and gross domestic product per capita environmental policy stringency and institutional quality significantly promote sustainable energy in the long run. Based on the results, the study recommends strictness in implementing policies is more critical than just designing environmental policies.

A Hybrid Algorithm for Multiple Disease Prediction: Radial Basis Function and Logistic Regression
Authors: Azmi Fadhillah , Saleh Amir
Published: July 2024

Disease prediction is an important aspect of modern medicine, which aims to diagnose disease early and provide appropriate treatment to patients. This research uses a hybrid approach that combines the RBF (Radial Basis Function) kernel algorithm with logistic regression to predict various diseases in medical datasets. This method is intended to improve prediction performance by exploiting the advantages of each algorithm. This research uses a dataset containing medical information about several diseases collected from the Kaggle dataset. First, the RBF kernel is applied to transform the data features into a more informative, non-linear representation. Then, the logistic regression model is used to make predictions based on the features that have been processed by the RBF kernel. In this research, the hybrid RBF (Radial Basis Function) method was proven to be superior in predicting multiple diseases. This method shows the highest accuracy of 0.9460, as well as excellent precision, recall, and F1-score values of 0.8680, 0.8097, and 0.8294, respectively. The advantage of the hybrid RBF method lies in its ability to capture complex patterns in data that other methods often cannot identify, as well as its ability to handle non-linear decision boundaries, which are a common characteristic in medical datasets.

Keywords: Disease prediction, Hybrid approach, RBF kernel algorithm, Logistic regression, medical datasets

Improved convolutional neural network model for leukemia classification using EfficientNetV2M and bayesian optimization
Authors: Wibowo Kevyn Alifian Hernanda , Rianto Nur Azis Kurnia , Unjung Jumanto
Published: July 2024

Leukemia is a health condition in which the body produces too many abnormal white blood cells or leukocytes. Leukemia can affect both children and adults. Early diagnosis of leukemia faces significant challenges, as diagnostic methods are time consuming, require experienced medical experts, and are expensive. Previous studies have been conducted using deep learning approaches, but it is still rare to find a model that shows the best performance and uses optimization methods to classify leukemia diseases. Therefore, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model with EfficientNetV2M architecture and Bayesian Optimization is proposed as the main method assisted by ImageDataGenerator in preprocessing. This study shows a significant impact of Bayesian optimization with good Accuracy, Precision, Recall and F1-Score results of 91.37%, 93.00%, 87.00%, 89.00%, respectively, which are expected to improve the performance of the model in previous studies in classifying leukemia diseases.

Published: July 2024

The quadorotor is a type of unmanned flying vehicle known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). In recent years, quadrotors have attracted much attention from researchers around the world due to their excellent maneuverability. A good control system in this quadrotor system is needed for ease of use of this quadrotor. One control system that is often used is the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) control system. This control system has challenges for dynamic system disturbances in quadrotor control. Researchers proposed a recurrent artificial neural network (RNN) system to address these challenges.RRN is used to change the value of the feedback component in the LQR control system. The nature of the feedback component in LQR, which is static, is changed based on the system error value based on changes in the error value entered into the RNN. The result of this RNN is a change in the value of the LQR feedback component based on the input of the system. The results of this research show that LQR control with RNN produces a faster system response of 0.075 seconds and a faster settling time of 0.221 seconds. Compensation for the system response speed produces a higher overshot value.

In Brassica rapa meiotic recombination; chromosome axis remodeling is critical
Authors:   School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham UK, Mustafa Sana-e-
Published: July 2024

The primary mechanism by which breeders generate biodiversity is meiotic recombination, which permits genetic rearrangement at every generation. It facilitates the accumulation of advantageous alleles and eliminates harmful mutations. With the development of one to very rarely more than three crossovers that are not randomly distributed, this mechanism is highly regulated. To ensure correct parental chromosomal segregation and the creation of unique allelic combinations, meiotic recombination is essential. Finding the variables affecting the rate and distribution of meiotic crossings (COs) is crucial because this process is strictly regulated, especially for plant breeding initiatives. Nevertheless, few high-resolution recombination maps exist for most crops, including the Brassica genus, and little is known regarding sex differences and intraspecific variation. Here, using progenies of cross populations from the crossed F1s population, we reveal fine-scale resolution recombination landscapes for two female and one male cross in Brassica rapa. Parents are from very different lines, which stands for higher quality and yield.

Authors: Khumalo Ngcebo , Ngcamphalala Wandile
Published: July 2024

Climate change is an observed reality with a significant impact globally. South Africa is not immune to this phenomenon. Like the rest of the world, South Africa experiences rise in mean air temperature and changes in rainfall trends. Since plant systems are influenced by weather, it is expected that climate change will have an effect on the production and quality of fruit. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of climate change on the quality of citrus fruit produced in South Africa. In conducting the study, historical fruit quality data was collected from packhouses in the Eastern and Western Cape provinces of South Africa over a period of 12 and 8 years respectively. Trend analysis was done on the data to determine whether there is a trend that can be observed over the period of data collection. The total soluble solids of fruit showed a marginal increase over the period of observation. Titratable acidity showed a marginal decrease. The incidence of sunburn on fruit seemed to increase over time. Other disorders like decay, creasing and oleocellosis did not show a definite trend of increasing or decreasing over time. Rind disorders seemed to decrease during the period of observation. This report discusses how the observed trends were influenced by changes in rainfall and temperature over the period of observation. It is then concluded that in this case study, the impact of climate change was not very profound and it had both negative and positive effects. The current results point toward a bleak future for citrus producers. To remain profitable, it may be necessary for producers to invest in climate change adaptation technologies. Key words: Climate change, citrus fruit, fruit quality, oleocellosis, titratable acidity

Manuscript Readings We Don’t Think About in the Prioress’s Tale
Authors: Bellis Joanna
Published: July 2024

Criticism of the Prioress’s Tale has hinged on the question of irony: was Chaucer, in his portrait of the Prioress, also holding up her tale for mockery? Does her antisemitic exemplum collapse upon itself? Recent work has shown that fifteenth-century Marian anthologies deliberately stripped the text of its Canterbury Tales frame and identifiable pilgrim-speaker, in order to put it back into the context of the miracle genre from which it developed. So far, however, there has not been a general study of how its scribes responded to the tale, and how the variants that they introduced inform our understanding of whether they took it to be sincere or ironic or somewhere in between. This article springs from editing the Prioress’s Tale, and from the fact that most editions are so sparing in the variants that they can include in their textual apparatus that this body of evidence disappears from view.
Depolanmış Doğu Kayını (Fagus orientalis L.) tohumlarında bazı kaplama işlemlerinin tohum nemi ve elektriksel iletkenlik üzerine etkisi
Authors: Akın Şeyma Selin , Ayan Sezgin
Published: July 2024

Giriş ve Hedefler Tohumlarda yaşlanma ile birlikte canlılık ve gücün azalmasına neden olan en önemli faktörden ikisi tohum nemi ve sıcaklıktır. Bununla birlikte; tohumlar her ne kadar uygun sıcaklık ve nem koşullarında depolansalar da zamana bağlı olarak yaşlanmaktadırlar. Hücre membranlarının bozulması, tohumlarda yaşlanmayı açıklayan bir başka önemli hipotezdir ve yaşlanma esnasında tohumdan sızan maddelerin elektriksel iletkenliğinde (EC) meydana gelen artışlar olarak ölçülebilmektedir. Daha çok zirai tohumlarda ve gıda endüstrisinde gıdalarda depo ve raf ömrünü uzatmak için biyolojik tabanlı kaplamalar uygulanmaktadır. Bunlardan biri olan kitosan, meyve ve sebzelerin hasat sonrası ömrünü uzatmak, serbest radikalleri söndürerek veya metal iyonlarını bağlayarak antioksidan aktivite göstermektedir. Ayrıca, bütillenmiş hidroksitoluen (BHT) ve bütillenmiş hidroksianisol (BHA) gibi sentetik antioksidanlar, serbest radikallerin oluşumunu engellemek ve lipit oto-oksidasyonunu ve gıda bozulmasını önlemek için sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Doğal bir antioksidan ve anti-bakteriyel kaynak olarak olan propolis ise antimikrobiyal, antifungal, antioksidatif veya anti-bakteriyel özeliği ile meyve ve sebzelerin depo ömrünü uzatmada oldukça etkili olmaktadır.
Yöntemler Bu çalışmada; Doğu kayını (Fagus orientalis L.) tohumlarında depolama boyunca meydana gelen zamana bağlı yaşlanma etkilerinin geciktirilmesinde farklı kaplama uygulamalarının (kitosan, kitosan+BHT+BHA, kitosan+propolis) tohum nemi ve EC üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda ön işlem yapılan tohumlar 16 ay boyunca depolanmıştır.
Bulgular Çalışmada ön işlem yapılıp, depolanan tohumlarda bütün faktörlerin tekli, ikili ve üçlü etkileşimlerinin hem tohum nemi hem de EC üzerine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkileri tespit edilmiştir. İlk dört ay sonunda yapılan bütün uygulamaların tohum EC değerini ve nem içeriğini önemli ölçüde düşürmüştür.
Sonuçlar Kısa süreli depolamada kaplama materyali olarak kitosan kullanımı önerilmektedir.
