A historical assessment of Turkey's natural gas import vulnerability
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)
This article aims at evaluating the historical determinants and implications of Turkey's natural gas import dependency. We implement principle component analysis (PCA) methodology to construct a natural gas import vulnerability ...
Influence of combined antioxidants against cadmium induced testicular damage
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2006)
Acute effects ofcadmium (Cd) and combined antioxidants were evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rat testes. The rats were subdivided into four groups. Cadmium chloride (2 mg/kg day) injected intraperitoneally during 8 days. Vitamin ...
General anesthesia with thoracic epidural anesthesia in the cardiopulmonary bypass surgery reduces apoptosis by upregulating antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2
(Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2006)
Aim. The aim of the paper was to investigate whether thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) together with general anaesthesia (GA) play a role on apoptosis in humans before cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) before aortic cross clamp ...
Transmitter source location estimation using crowd data
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)
The problem of transmitter source localization in a dense urban area has been investigated where a supervised learning approach utilizing neural networks has been adopted. The cellular phone network cells and signals have ...
Ginkgo biloba extract regulates differentially the cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide and simvastatin
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2006)
Several human diseases have been associated with the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequently various antioxidants emerged as potential therapeutic agents that scavenge ROS. As an oxidative stress ...
Engaging nurses in smoking cessation: Challenges and opportunities in Turkey
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd., 2018)
This paper discusses the training of nurses in smoking cessation as part of routine patient care in Turkey. Formative research was carried out prior to training to identify challenges faced by smokers when trying to quit. ...
VLC Sparse Channel Estimation in the Presence of Non-Gaussian Clipping Noise [Gauss Olmayan Kırpma Gürültüsü Altında VLC Seyrek Kanal Kestirimi]
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
In this paper a new computationally efficient and high performance channel estimation algorithm is proposed for the indoor visible light communication (VLC) sparse channels in the presence of a clipping noise. The clipping ...
The Effect of Primary User Bandwidth on Bayesian Compressive Sensing Based Spectrum Sensing
(IEEE Computer Society, 2016)
The application of compressive sensing (CS) theory has found great interest in wideband spectrum sensing. Although most studies have considered perfect reconstruction of the primary user signal it is actually more important ...
Optimizing NEURON Brain Simulator With Remote Memory Access On Distributed Memory Systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
The Complex neuronal network models require support from simulation environment for efficient network simulations. To compute the models increasing complexity necessitated the efforts to parallelize the NEURON simulation ...
Broadband single matching with lumped elements
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
While designing broadband single matching networks for microwave communication systems via commercially available software tools it is necessary for these tools to select the proper matching network topology and element ...
