Higher Expression Level Of Bat3 Is Associated With Silencing Of Themidn Gene In Primary Mouse Cardiomyocytes, Bi̇lge Şadan Selçuk, Ayşe Evri̇m Bayrak, Ni̇han Ünaltuna
Turkish Journal of Biology
Midnolin (Midn) is a developmentally regulated nucleolar protein that was originally identified in the mesencephalon of developing mouse embryos. Additionally, Midn expression was detected in various adult tissues and was associated with glucokinase activity in pancreatic beta cells and with the regulation of folliculogenesis in ovaries. In this study, our aim was to analyze the expression and function of the Midn gene in cardiomyocyte cells. We constructed a primary neonatal mouse cardiomyocyte cell culture and analyzed the expression of possible Midn-associated genes after short interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated gene silencing for Midn. After 24 h of silencing, we observed that the …

Turkish Journal of Biology
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are one of the most important transcription factors involved in abiotic stress tolerance in Tartary buckwheat. In this study, we successfully isolated two bHLH transcription factor genes, designated as FtbHLH1 and FtbHLH2, from Tartary buckwheat. Their encoding proteins were found to have a motif to interact with R2R3-MYB at the N-terminus and a typical bHLH motif at the C-terminus. Yeast one-hybrid assay proved that the two bHLH proteins exhibited obvious transcriptional activation activities. The abiotic stresses indicated that FtbHLH1 expression would be mainly affected by drought and UV-B, whereas FtbHLH2 expression would present a sensitive …

Turkish Journal of Biology
Soil salinity is one of the most important limiting factors of agricultural productivity in the world. The Triticum aestivum salt tolerance-related gene (TaSTRG) possesses a functional response to salt and drought stress conditions. A variety of stress factors, such as salt, drought, abscisic acid, and cold, may induce the expression of TaSTRG in wheat. In this study, the TaSTRG gene was transferred to tobacco via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Overexpression of TaSTRG in transgenic tobacco plants indicated higher salt tolerance and mediated more vigorous growth than in wild-type plants. Under salt stress conditions, the transgenic tobacco plants had higher germination and survival …

An Approach Based On Neural Computation To Simulate Transition Metals Using Tight Binding Measurements, Adel Belayadi, Boualem Bourahla, Leila Ait-Gougam, Fawzia Mekideche-Chafa
Turkish Journal of Physics
A theoretical study of neural networks modeling, based on the tight binding approach, is proposed in this study. The aim of the present contribution is to establish a network topology to compute the binding energy parameters of transition metals. However, because of the different types of crystallization fcc, bcc, hcp, and sc of transition metals, neural network topology determination cannot be easily established, i.e. it would not be able to collect the data to feed the neurocomputing model. Hence, in order to overcome this problem, it would be helpful to distinguish one common structure from fcc, bcc, hcp, and sc. …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Nodes in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) suffer from limited battery power and bandwidth. Particularly for real time multimedia communications through MANET, metrics like residual node energy, bandwidth, and end-to-end delay have major impacts. In MANET, designing a dynamic routing algorithm to satisfy quality of service (QoS) requirements is a challenging task. Additionally, multiconstrained QoS routing aims to optimize multiple QoS metrics while providing required network resources and is an admittedly complex problem. It has been proved to be NP-complete when a combination of additive, concave, and multiplicative metrics are considered. Hence, this problem can be solved using metaheuristic methods …
