Apatite Chemistry From The Xv Ioa Deposit, The Bafq–Saqand Metallogenic Province (Bsmp), Central Iran: Constrains On The Genesis Of Ioa Deposits, Sakine Amraei, Majid Ghasemi Siani, Mohammad Yazdi, Liang Qiu, Chang–Zhi Wu, Minghua Ren, Shahrokh Rajabpour May 2025

Apatite Chemistry From The Xv Ioa Deposit, The Bafq–Saqand Metallogenic Province (Bsmp), Central Iran: Constrains On The Genesis Of Ioa Deposits, Sakine Amraei, Majid Ghasemi Siani, Mohammad Yazdi, Liang Qiu, Chang–Zhi Wu, Minghua Ren, Shahrokh Rajabpour

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

In this study, we present petrographical and microanalytical (EPMA, LA–ICP–MS) results of apatites associated with Fe–Ti±P mineralization in the XV deposit in the BSMP. Apatite is predominantly observed as subhedral to euhedral, homogeneous grains, with no zoning or inclusions. Geochemically, apatite is fluorapatite of magmatic origin, with Cl/OH and Cl/F ratios of <0.05 and 0.01 to 0.07, respectively. Apatites from XV and other IOA deposits in the BSMP display a high F/Cl ratio, which is likely the main characteristic of IOA–type deposits such as the Kiruna-type deposit. Apatites from both rock types (gabbro and pyroxenite) exhibit similar rare earth elements (REEs) and multitrace element patterns, indicative of a shared origin. The highly light rare earth elements (LREEs)–enriched pattern in chondrite–normalized fractionation trends, along with positive Eu and slight negative Ce anomalies, as well the high (La/Sm)N and (La/Yb)N ratios of XV apatite, further corroborates the magmatic genesis of fluorapatite. The Eu/Eu* and Ce/Ce* ratios in XV rocks imply a high oxidation condition, as well as other IOA deposits in BSMP. The sulfur content is less than 1 wt% and shows a positive correlation with SiO2, implying coupled dissolution–reprecipitation of primary fluorapatite. Considering the geological setting of XV and other IOA deposits in the BSMP, the parental magma(s) appear to have originated from oxidizing Fe-Ti±P-rich magma(s), likely formed within an extensional postcollisional setting, influenced by the Proto–Tethys and Central Iranian Microcontinent (CIMC) convergence events.

Design And Optimization Of Low-Loss, High-Gain Metamaterial-Based Log-Periodic Dipole Array Antenna For Full Ka-Band Coverage, Mohamed El Moniar, Ahmed Abd El Hady, Yasser Ismail, Nihal Areed

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This work describes a microstrip log-periodic dipole array (MLPDA) antenna that uses metamaterials and operates across the whole Ka-band. The suggested MLPDA antenna layout provides a wide bandwidth with fewer dipole elements than traditional MLPDA antennas while maintaining the same resonance frequencies. To reduce size while covering a wide operational spectrum, the antenna design includes bending dipoles as radiating elements, as well as an incomplete ground plane. Furthermore, the proposed MLPDA antenna’s energy loss has been reduced while boosting its signal strength (gain) by inserting a metamaterial-based structure in front of it at a certain distance and on the same …

Automating nuclei segmentation in Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained images is crucial for advancing computational pathology. Despite significant research, challenges such as overlapping nuclei, varying scanner resolutions, and diverse nuclear morphologies continue to hinder segmentation accuracy. In this paper, we propose a deep-learning based methodology that integrates multiple data augmentation strategies with a U-Net architecture enhanced by the EfficientNetB7 encoder. To enhance generalization, we train the model using a combined dataset from MoNuSeg2018, CPM-17, and CoNSeP, exposing it to diverse staining techniques and tissue types. We then evaluate its robustness on the unseen CryoNuSeg dataset, which consists of fully annotated …

Karcı Fractional Artificial Neural Networks (Karcıfann): A New Artificial Neural Networks Model Without Learning Rate And Its Problems, Meral Karakurt, Hülya Saygili, Ali̇ Karci

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The learning rate parameter used in classical artificial neural networks (ANNs) designed with stochastic gradient descent causes problems such as failure to learn, getting stuck in local minima, memorization, and long training times (divergence problem). To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel ANN method that uses a fractional derivative instead of Newton’s derivative. This method is referred to as Karcı fractional ANN (KarcıFANN). In classical ANNs, the weight update is done by assigning the same constant value to the learning rate in each iteration or for a set number of iterations. In contrast, in KarcıFANNs, the weight update …


A Proposed Coding Algorithm With Ai-Assisted Restoration Capability, Parviz Gharehbagheri, Hamid Haj Seyyed Javadi May 2025

A Proposed Coding Algorithm With Ai-Assisted Restoration Capability, Parviz Gharehbagheri, Hamid Haj Seyyed Javadi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper introduces an innovative encoding method based on the concept of "distancecodes" , which allows characters to appear randomly in different locations during the decoding process. Codeword-based algorithms decode and present their characters sequentially, which can hinder accurate reconstruction in the event of incomplete text decoding, as there is no intelligent or non-intelligent model available for continuing the text reconstruction.In contrast, our proposed algorithm allows for the non-sequential and scattered appearance of characters throughout the data during the decoding process. This enables AI algorithms to restore undecoded characters using contextual information such as decoded characters, adjacent complete and incomplete …

Pointwise Slant Riemannian Maps From Almost Contact Metric Manifolds With Horizontal Reeb Vector Field ˆΞ, Ramazan Demi̇r, Cumali̇ Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper introduces the notion of pointwise slant Riemannian maps, which extend the concept of slant submanifolds, pointwise slant submanifolds, slant submersions, pointwise slant submersions, and slant Riemannian maps. These maps are defined from almost contact metric manifolds to Riemannian manifolds with horizontal Reeb vektor field . Furthermore, we present examples and investigate the fundamental properties of such maps. Also we explore the geometry of the foliations induced by pointwise slant Riemannian maps and establish decomposition theorems related to their existence.


On The Invariant Integration Of A Vector In Some Problems In Mechanics, Saad Bin Mansoor May 2025

On The Invariant Integration Of A Vector In Some Problems In Mechanics, Saad Bin Mansoor

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Invariant integration of vectors and tensors over manifolds was introduced around fifty years ago by V.N. Folomeshkin, though the concept appears to not have attracted much attention among researchers. Although it is a sophisticated concept, the operation of the invariant integration of vectors is actually required to correctly solve some problems in mechanics. Two such problems are discussed in the present exposition, in the context of a two-dimensional Euclidean space covered by a polar coordinate system. The notion of invariant integration becomes necessary when the space is described without any reference to a Cartesian coordinate system.

The Concept Of T-Basis And Vector-Valued Hardy Classes, Bilal Bilalov, Sabina Rahib Sadigova

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper introduces the concept of a t-basis generated by some bilinear mapping t(·;·). It is considered the vector-valued class Lp(X) := Lp(J; X), 1 ≤ p < +∞, where J = [−π, π] and X is a Banach space with the UMD property, and it is proven that the classical system of exponents {eint}n∈ℤ forms a t-basis for Lp(X), 1 < p < +∞. Using this fact, the Hardy vector classes nHp±(X), 1 < p < +∞, different from the classical ones, are defined, and an equivalent definition of these classes is given and some of their properties are studied. In addition, the concept of t-Riesz property of a system of exponentials is introduced in Lp(X), 1 < p < +∞, and it is proved that this system has the t-Riesz property. A new method is given for establishing the Plemelj–Sokhotski formulas for X-valued Cauchy type integrals when X has the UMD property. An abstract analogue of the “1/4-Kadets” theorem is obtained for …

Lancret-Type Results For A New Family Of Curves In Minkowski 3-Space, Héctor Guerrero Mora, Willy Sierra

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, using the concept of a Killing vector field along a curve, we extend certain results concerning a family of curves—previously studied in three-dimensional Euclidean space—to the setting of three-dimensional Minkowski space. Depending on the causal character of the curve, we derive Lancret-type results that establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of this family in three-dimensional Minkowski space. We determine the intrinsic equation of this family in three cases: (i) when the curve is nonnull with a nonnull acceleration vector, (ii) when the curve is spacelike with a null acceleration vector, and (iii) when the …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a potent nonradical oxidant involved in various physiological processes, particularly within the human immune system. In this study, we introduce a novel, rapid, and highly efficient fluorometric method for the detection of HOCl. The method utilizes a near-infrared (NIR)-based fluorescent probe, NIR-QBH, which is characterized by its high sensitivity and chemical stability. NIR-QBH, containing olefinic C=C bonds, exhibits strong NIR emission at 660 nm (λex = 618 nm). The detection mechanism relies on the oxidation of the C=C bond in the NIR-QBH structure by HOCl, resulting in the formation of non-fluorescent products. With a detection limit …
