We present new radiometric (Ar-Ar) age data from the volcanic rocks occurring in the Eocene strata in the Hekimhan and Gürün-Darende (Malaya) regions. The Eocene units in these regions are represented separately by the Tohma and Darende formations, respectively. The two basaltic volcanic interlayers in the Tohma Formation, occurring in the lower and upper parts of the succession yielded Ar-Ar isochron ages of 51.75±0.76 and 42.66±0.43 Ma, respectively, indicating a deposition age of Ypresian-Lutetian interval for the unit. The andesitic volcanic rocks in the basal parts of the Darende Formation yielded an Ar-Ar isochron age of 37.35±0.72 Ma, revealing that …

Processing Of Pinger, Chirp, Boomer, And Parametric Subbottom Profiler Datasets, Aslihan Nasif
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Subbottom profiler (SBP) systems are commonly employed for geo-hazard analysis in offshore engineering studies. The joint analysis of multi-channel seismic and SBP data also provides additional information for analyzing submarine fluid-flow structures in shallow sediments. Detailed geo-hazard analyses also aim to reveal small-scale changes in the seafloor and the underlying structures. Therefore, the horizontal and vertical resolution of SBP data is a crucial parameter, and obtaining the necessary resolution requires appropriate data processing.This study analyzes the steps and parameters applied in processing pinger, Chirp, boomer, and parametric SBP data, to determine an optimal data processing flow and parameters. Compared to …

Diversity And Evenness Of Birds During Seasonal Paddy Farming Practice In Southwestern Sarawak, Ivana Berlinda Bilang, Mohamad Fizl Sidq Ramji, Siti Nurlydia Sazali, Andrew Alek Tuen, Wan Nurainie Wan Ismail
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The influence of seasonal paddy farming activities on the paddy field environment and its composition of birds could be visually observed but has yet to be systematically studied and is still relatively understudied in Malaysian Borneo. Earlier research relied solely on point counts and not using line transects or mist nets for data collection could have resulted in missing and biased findings. Thus, this study aims to evaluate and compare species diversity and evenness of birds in different paddy stages in southwestern Sarawak with previous studies conducted in the region. We reported a higher species richness than previous reports from …

Turkish Journal of Zoology
The connection between plant species and nest site preference for the Asian weaver ant Oecophylla smaragdina remainspoorly understood despite their common occurrence in the urban areas of tropical regions. We predicted that plant species with specificleaf characteristics influence the nesting preference of Asian weaver ants, given that plant foliage is the main component of their neststructure. We studied the leaf characteristics of the tree species in which their nests were detected, including leaf shape, leaf apex shape,and leaf arrangement. Of the 206 total trees among the 20 tree species sampled, 185 trees from 18 tree species had at least one …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Cryogels containing isocyanate reactive groups were synthesized via photopolymerization of 2-isocyanoethyl methacrylate (ICEMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEMA) monomers. Changing ratio of monomers with respect to each other, series of cryogels with varying ratio of reactive isocyanate groups were successfully prepared. Characterization of the cryogels was carried out using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and rheometry techniques. To demonstrate that molecules containing amine groups can be immobilized onto the synthesized cryogels through the reaction between isocyanate and amine groups, cryogels were conjugated with 4-(trifluoromethyl)benzylamine (TFBA) and fluorescein amine (FLA) molecules, and …

The Kashmir Himalayas, a region of immense ecological importance, have experienced profound degradation by land-use changes, raising concerns about sustainability. This degradation carries significant global implications, including carbon loss, soil quality deterioration, habitat destruction, and loss of biodiversity. This study investigates various key land uses, including economically vital cash crops such as apples and saffron, the socially significant staple food crop rice, forest, and pasture systems. Findings reveals that forest and pasture maintain significantly better physical, chemical, microbial, and enzymes activities, and exhibit greater soil nutrient reserves and soil organic carbon (SOC) pools. Specifically, forest soils contain 20.21%, 28.22%, and …

Over the centuries, strawberry fruit quality has greatly improved through various selection studies. The discovery of genes andgenomic positions related to traits such as fruit quality and resistance to diseases and pests has been accelerated by new biotechnologicalmethods. The objectives of this study are (i) to construct single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) Fana array-based high-throughputgenetic linkage groups for the ‘Fortuna × Rubygem’ F1 population, and (ii) to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) regions associated withBotrytis cinerea resistance in leaf and fruit traits of strawberry. A total of 945 and 984 SNPs were mapped in the ‘Fortuna’ maternal andthe ‘Rubygem’ paternal maps, …
