Seasonal Hormones, Female Reproductive Tract Changes, And Some Field Observations Onbreeding Activities Of The Small Indian Mongoose (Herpestes Javanicus) From Its Nativerange Of Potohar Plateau, Pakistan, Faraz Akrim, Hira Fatima, Saidia Nazir, Tariq Mahmood, Riaz Hussain, Muhammad Sajid Nadeem

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The small Indian mongoose acts as a biological control agent for rodents, snakes, and many insects in agroecosystems. Its reproductive physiology has been studied mostly from its introduced range. We investigated the reproductive pattern of the female small Indian mongoose on the Potohar Plateau, i.e. its native range. We found a male:female ratio of 0.67 (n = 52); only 16% of the live-trapped females were found to be pregnant. Elevated estradiol and progesterone levels were found during March to May. LH levels showed 2 peaks: the first during March (25.5 mIU/mL) and the second in September (29.8 mIU/mL); however, FSH …

We investigate suborbital graphs for an imprimitive action of the Atkin-Lehner group on a maximal subset of extended rational numbers on which a transitive action is also satisfied. Obtaining edge and some circuit conditions, we examine some combinatorial properties of these graphs.


Topological Entropies Of A Class Of Constrained Systems, Yanni Ma, Bingzhe Hou Jan 2017

Topological Entropies Of A Class Of Constrained Systems, Yanni Ma, Bingzhe Hou

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider a class of constrained systems named double upper bounds $(p,q)$-constrained systems ($(p,q)$-DUB systems in brief), which are one-dimensional subshifts of finite type. We determinate the topological entropies (Shannon capacities) $C(p,q)$ of all $(p,q)$-DUB systems and consequently order all $(p,q)$-DUB systems according to the size of topological entropies. In particular, $C(p, \infty)=C(p+1, p+1)$ are the only equalities possible among the topological entropies of $(p,q)$-DUB systems.


$\Mathcal{Vw}$-Gorenstein Complexes, Renyu Zhao, Wei Ren Jan 2017

$\Mathcal{Vw}$-Gorenstein Complexes, Renyu Zhao, Wei Ren

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $\mathcal{V,W}$ be two classes of modules. In this paper, we introduce and study $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein complexes as a common generalization of $\mathcal{W}$-complexes, Gorenstein projective (resp., Gorenstein injective) complexes, and $G_C$-projective (resp., $G_C$-injective) complexes. It is shown that under certain hypotheses a complex $X$ is $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein if and only if each $X^n$ is a $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein module. This result unifies the corresponding results of the aforementioned complexes. As an application, the stability of $\mathcal{VW}$-Gorenstein complexes is explored.

Singular Dirac Systems In The Sobolev Space, Eki̇n Uğurlu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we construct Weyl's theory for the singular left-definite Dirac systems. In particular, we prove that there exists at least one solution of the system of equations that lies in the Sobolev space. Moreover, we describe the behavior of the solution belonging to the Sobolev space around the singular point.


Some Theorems For A New Type Of Multivalued Contractivemaps On Metric Space, Gonca Durmaz Jan 2017

Some Theorems For A New Type Of Multivalued Contractivemaps On Metric Space, Gonca Durmaz

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, taking into account the function $\theta $, we introduce a new type of contraction for multivalued maps on metric space. This new concept includes many known contractions in the literature. We then present some fixed point results for closed and bounded set valued maps on complete metric space. Finally, we provide an example to show the significance of the investigation of this paper.


New Recurrences For Euler's Partition Function, Mircea Merca Jan 2017

New Recurrences For Euler's Partition Function, Mircea Merca

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, the author invokes some consequences of the bisectional pentagonal number theorem to derive two linear recurrence relations for Euler's partition function $p(n)$. As a corollary of these results, we obtain an efficient method to compute the parity of Euler's partition function $p(n)$ that requires only the parity of $p(k)$ with $k \leq n/4$.


A New Approach To Uniqueness For Inverse Sturm-Liouville Problems On Finite Intervals, Seyfollah Mosazadeh Jan 2017

A New Approach To Uniqueness For Inverse Sturm-Liouville Problems On Finite Intervals, Seyfollah Mosazadeh

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, an approach for studying inverse Sturm--Liouville problems with integrable potentials on finite intervals is presented. We find the relations between Weyl solutions and $m_{j}$-functions of Sturm--Liouville problems, and by finding the connection between these and the solutions of second-order partial differential equations for transformation kernels associated with Sturm--Liouville operators, we prove the uniqueness of the solution of inverse problems.

Ontogenetic Changes In Nucleic Acid, Protein Contents, And Growthof Larval And Juvenile Japanese Flounder, Xue Hong Tong, Chengman Bao, Xinhui Tang, Xiaolan Yang, Huanli Wang

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In order to estimate relationships among growth potential and biochemical indicators of Japanese flounder, RNA and DNA as well as protein indices were measured from 5 days after hatching (DAH) to 45 DAH. Results showed that the RNA/DNA ratio and protein/DNA ratio had obvious relations with instantaneous growth rate (GM) and length-based instantaneous growth rate (GL) during the premetamorphic period. Significant negative correlations among protein/DNA ratio and GM and GL were then observed during metamorphosis. During the postmetamorphic phase, the RNA/DNA ratio was positively correlated with GM and GL. Data indicated that body growth of Japanese flounder is mostly hyperplastic …


Anatrachyntis Badia (Hodges, 1962) (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae): The First Report From Turkey And A Case Of Importation To Poland, Lukasz Dawidowicz, Robert Rozwa?Ka Jan 2017

Anatrachyntis Badia (Hodges, 1962) (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae): The First Report From Turkey And A Case Of Importation To Poland, Lukasz Dawidowicz, Robert Rozwa?Ka

Turkish Journal of Zoology

Anatrachyntis badia (Hodges, 1962) (Lepidoptera: Cosmopterigidae) is an opportunistic species native to the southern part of North America. This species was given from several dozens of plants therein from many cultivable plants, such as limes, grapefruits, bananas, peaches, cabbage, blossoms of coconut, Cycas spp., and even pine cones. Thus, it was accidentally introduced to many other countries with appropriate climate with some plants. It can be considered as a plant pest in some cases (e.g., sorghum). The species quite often occurs conjointly with other pest insects, such as mealybug or honeydew moth Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Milliere, 1867) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). This paper …

Effects Of Aluminum, Copper, And Titanium Nanoparticles Onsome Blood Parameters In Wistar Rats, Esi̇n Gülnaz Canli, Mustafa Canli Jan 2017

Effects Of Aluminum, Copper, And Titanium Nanoparticles Onsome Blood Parameters In Wistar Rats, Esi̇n Gülnaz Canli, Mustafa Canli

Turkish Journal of Zoology

In this study, Al2O3, CuO, and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were individually administered to 60 mature female rats via oral gavage (0, 0.5, 5, and 50 mg/kg b.w. per day) for 14 days and then responses of ATPases in the erythrocytes, total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and liver enzyme (alkaline phosphatase, ALP; alanine transaminase, ALT; aspartate transaminase, AST) levels in the serum were determined. There were sharp decreases in Na,K-ATPase activity in the erythrocytes following NP exposures. All doses of CuO caused significant (P < 0.05) inhibitions in Na,K-ATPase activity (up to 94%), while only higher doses of Al2O3 and TiO2 inhibited (76%-80%) the activity of Na,K-ATPase. Oppositely, the activities of Ca-ATPase (up to 274%) and Mg-ATPase (up to 290%) increased significantly following TiO2 exposures. TOS levels significantly increased following Al2O3 (167%) and CuO (240%) exposures, though TAS levels did not change significantly in any of the exposure groups. The levels of ALP, AST, and ALT increased following NP administrations. Ti-NP increased the levels of all liver enzymes in the serum (up to 84%), while Al-NP (58%) and Cu- NP (43%) increased only ALP levels. The present study demonstrated evidence of the toxic effects of NPs, as they altered the measured parameters in the blood, and suggests further research to better understand the environmental fate of NPs.

Magnetized Strange Quark Matter In Reconstructed $F(R,T)$ Gravity For Bianchi I And V Universes With Cosmological Constant, Can Aktaş Jan 2017

Magnetized Strange Quark Matter In Reconstructed $F(R,T)$ Gravity For Bianchi I And V Universes With Cosmological Constant, Can Aktaş

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this article, we have investigated the behaviors of magnetized strange quark matter distributions for Bianchi I and V universes in reconstructed $f?eft( R,T \right)=\alpha_{1}R+\alpha_{2}f_{3}(T)$ gravity (here $\alpha_{1}$ and $\alpha_{2}$ are constants; $f_{3}(T)$ is an arbitrary function of $T)$. To get solutions of the field equations we have used a deceleration parameter and the equation of state for strange quark matter. The new represented $f(R,T)$ model includes two models of Harko et al. and transforms to general relativity. When $t\to ınfty $, we get the dark energy model ($p=-\rho )$ in reconstructed $f?eft( R,T \right)=\alpha _{1}R+\alpha_{2}f_{3}(T)$ gravity. However, we obtain …

Effect Of Varying Levels Of Concentrate On Growth Performance And Feed Economics In Nili-Ravi Buffalo Heifer Calves, Zeeshan Muhammad Iqbal, Muhammad Abdullah, Khalid Javed, Makhdoom Abdul Jabbar, Nisar Ahmad, Yasir Allah Ditta, Hamid Mustafa, Faisal Shahzad

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

An experiment was conducted to optimize the effect of concentrate levels on growth performance in Nili-Ravi buffalo heifers. These animals (n = 30), aged 4-6 months, were divided into three treatment groups (A, B, C) and were offered concentrate at the rate of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% of body weight for an 8-month period, respectively. The statistical data showed a significant (P < 0.01) effect on dry matter intake among all treatment groups. However, dietary treatments showed a nonsignificant effect on body weight gain. Treatment A showed a better (P < 0.01) feed conversion ratio (10.01 - 0.55) compared to treatment B (11.75 - 0.79) and C (12.85 - 0.74). The average body condition score, body measurements, and blood profiles were not affected by varying levels of concentrate. However, total serum protein was found lower (P < 0.01) in treatment A compared with the other two treatment groups. The cost for production per kg gain was 80.8% higher in treatment C and 46.6% higher in treatment B compared to treatment A. It can be concluded that buffalo heifers can be reared cost-effectively on a minimum concentrate level (0.5% of body weight) along with ad libitum green fodder.

In Vitro Production Protocol Of Vaccinium Uliginosum L. (Bog Bilberry)Growing In The Turkish Flora, Mustafa Cüce, Atalay Sökmen

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This novel approach was designed to increase the production capacity of Vaccinium uliginosum L. via direct organogenesis. Lateral buds containing one or two leaves were initially cultured in McCown woody plant medium (WPM), Anderson's rhododendron medium, and Murashige and Skoog basal media, each supplemented with zeatin/indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and zeatin/naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (1.0/0.1 mg L-1). WPM containing the zeatin/IBA combination was the most effective as the basal medium. Various plant growth regulators (PGRs) were then investigated for the best shoot multiplication, and zeatin was found to be most favorable PGR in all cases. The highest shoot length and shoot …

A Modified Genetic Algorithm For A Special Case Of The Generalized Assignment Problem, Murat Dörterler, Ömer Faruk Bay, Mehmet Ali̇ Akcayol

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Many central examinations are performed nationwide in Turkey. These examinations are held simultaneously throughout Turkey. Examinees attempt to arrive at the examination centers at the same time and they encounter problems such as traffic congestion, especially in metropolises. The state of mind that this situation puts them into negatively affects the achievement and future goals of the test takers. Our solution to minimize the negative effects of this issue is to assign the test takers to closest examination centers taking into account the capacities of examination halls nearby. This solution is a special case of the generalized assignment problem (GAP). …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Ferritin, heavy polypeptide 1 (FTH1) is a kind of ferritin complex that catalyzes the conversion of Fe(II) into Fe(III) to protect the cell from oxidative damage. Recent research has shown that FTH1 is also associated with several disease-related processes, such as inflammation and tumor progression and so on. In this study, the coding sequence (CDS) of FTH1 in Jinding ducks was cloned. The CDS sequence revealed an open reading frame of 546 nucleotides encoding a protein with 181 amino acids. Based on this sequence, the duck FTH1 protein is predicted to have conserved domains typical of eukaryotic ferritin. Only one …
