New La-Icp-Ms U-Pb Zircon Dating For Strandja Granitoids (Se Bulgaria): Evidence For Two-Stage Late Variscan Magmatism In The Internal Balkanides, Philip Machev, Valentin Ganev, Laslo Klain Jan 2015

New La-Icp-Ms U-Pb Zircon Dating For Strandja Granitoids (Se Bulgaria): Evidence For Two-Stage Late Variscan Magmatism In The Internal Balkanides, Philip Machev, Valentin Ganev, Laslo Klain

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Strandja Massif (Sakar-Strandja Zone) forms an important link between the Balkan Zone (external Balkanides) of Bulgaria, which is commonly correlated with the Variscan orogen in Central Europe, and the Western Pontides of Turkey. The Bulgarian part of the massif is composed of a metamorphic basement (various granite gneisses, paragneisses, and schists) traditionally interpreted as having Precambrian age, Triassic-Jurassic metasedimentary cover, and Upper Cretaceous volcanosedimentary sequences. The basement is intruded by large granitic plutons of Variscan age that are widespread mostly across Turkish territory. New LA-ICP-MS data support the suggestion of Variscan granitoid magmatism in the studied area but do …

Clay Mineralogy, Chemistry, And Diagenesis Of Late Devonian K-Bentonite Occurrences In Northwestern Turkey, Asuman Günal Türkmenoğlu, Ömer Bozkaya, Mehmet Cemal Göncüoğlu, Özge Ünlüce, İsmai̇l Ömer Yilmaz, Cengi̇z Okuyucu

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Thin beds of tephra (K-bentonites) formed by the diagenesis of volcanic ash are exposed within the limestone-dolomitic limestone successions of the Yılanlı formation at Zonguldak and Bartın in northwestern Turkey. They were deposited on the Middle Devonian-Lower Carboniferous shallow carbonate platform of the Zonguldak terrane. In this study, K-bentonite samples collected from Gavurpınarı and Yılanlı Burnu limestone quarries are investigated in order to reveal their mineralogical and geochemical characteristics and diagenetic evolution. Illite is the major clay mineral in the studied K-bentonites. Additionally, kaolinite and mixed-layer illite-smectite are identified in some samples. The nonclay minerals calcite, dolomite, quartz, gypsum, feldspar, …


Petrography And Geochemistry Of The Kamlial Formation, Southwestern Kohat Plateau, Pakistan: Implications For Paleoclimate Of The Western Himalayas, Kafayat Ullah, Mohammad Arif, Muhammad Tahir Shah Jan 2015

Petrography And Geochemistry Of The Kamlial Formation, Southwestern Kohat Plateau, Pakistan: Implications For Paleoclimate Of The Western Himalayas, Kafayat Ullah, Mohammad Arif, Muhammad Tahir Shah

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Middle to Late Miocene Kamlial Formation that largely consists of sandstone and interbedded clay/mudstone sequences is exposed in the southwestern part of the Kohat plateau, which constitutes the westernmost extension of the Himalayan Foreland Basin. Whereas the sandstone is gray to brownish gray, fine- to medium-grained, and mostly thick-bedded, the interbedded clay/mudstone sequence is brownish gray to maroon red and occurs as continuous beds as well as lenses. Some mudstone/clay beds are bioturbated and seem to be pedogenic surfaces. Results of geochemical investigation of fresh (unaltered) representative sandstone and mudstone samples from three different sections of the formation in …


Rare Earth Element Geochemistry Of The Upper Permian Limestone: The Kanigorgeh Mining District, Nw Iran, Ali Abedini, Ali Asghar Calagari Jan 2015

Rare Earth Element Geochemistry Of The Upper Permian Limestone: The Kanigorgeh Mining District, Nw Iran, Ali Abedini, Ali Asghar Calagari

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The limestone of the Ruteh Formation of Upper Permian age in the Kanigorgeh district (northeast of Bukan, NW Iran) contains several layers and lenses of bauxitic ores. Mineralogical data show that this limestone consists of calcite and quartz as major and plagioclase, kaolinite, and hematite as minor mineral phases. Geochemical analyses reveal that the proportions of ?REEs (La-Lu) in this limestone vary from 35.28 to 160.78 ppm. The values of Eu and Ce anomalies (normalized to PAAS) of the limestone have ranges of 1.11-1.68 and 0.89-1.16, respectively. The high values of ?REEs; low values of Y/Ho; strong and positive correlations …


Magnetomineralogical Changes Along The Kohistan-Karakoram Collision Zone Innorth Pakistan: Implications For Variable Thermochemical Activities, Haider Zaman, Abdullah O. Bamousa Jan 2015

Magnetomineralogical Changes Along The Kohistan-Karakoram Collision Zone Innorth Pakistan: Implications For Variable Thermochemical Activities, Haider Zaman, Abdullah O. Bamousa

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

To identify remanence-carrying magnetic minerals and document their thermochemical behavior, detailed rock magnetic investigations were conducted on Cretaceous-Tertiary rocks collected from northwestern and northeastern Kohistan, northern Pakistan. Rock magnetic results from each area are clearly differentiated on the basis of site location. Detrital hematite is identified as a main magnetic carrier in red beds of northwestern Kohistan located at some distance from the Northern Suture Zone with subsidiary pigmentary hematite and altered magnetite. In contrast, the magnetic mineralogy of purple-colored rocks adjacent to the Northern Suture Zone is shared by unstable secondary pyrrhotite, magnetite, and hematite. The magnetic mineralogy of …


Petrology And Geochemistry Of Mafic Dykes From The Muslim Bagh Ophiolite (Pakistan): Implications For Petrogenesis And Emplacement, Mohammad Ishaq Kakar, Khalid Mahmood, Mohammad Arif, Mehrab Khan, Andrew C. Kerr, Mohibullah Mohibullah, Aimal Khan Kasi Jan 2015

Petrology And Geochemistry Of Mafic Dykes From The Muslim Bagh Ophiolite (Pakistan): Implications For Petrogenesis And Emplacement, Mohammad Ishaq Kakar, Khalid Mahmood, Mohammad Arif, Mehrab Khan, Andrew C. Kerr, Mohibullah Mohibullah, Aimal Khan Kasi

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Two different types of mafic dykes are found in the Muslim Bagh Ophiolite: 1) a sheeted dyke complex and 2) a mafic dyke swarm. Relative to the host plutonic section, the sheeted dykes are poorly developed, implying that they formed in an oceanic setting with a low and intermittent supply of magma, probably because of cyclic accumulation of crystals at the base of the magma chamber. Both the sheeted dykes and the dyke swarms have been metamorphosed to greenschist/amphibolite facies conditions. With the exception of the upper level gabbros and sheeted dykes, the dyke swarms crosscut almost the whole ophiolite …


Multilevel Hybrid Cascade-Stack Inverter With Substantial Reduction In Switches Number And Power Losses, Mahdi Toopchi Khosroshahi, Ali Ajami, Ata Ollah Mokhberdoran, Mohammadreza Jannati Oskuee Jan 2015

Multilevel Hybrid Cascade-Stack Inverter With Substantial Reduction In Switches Number And Power Losses, Mahdi Toopchi Khosroshahi, Ali Ajami, Ata Ollah Mokhberdoran, Mohammadreza Jannati Oskuee

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes a multilevel hybrid cascade-stack (HCS) converter. Recently, different new topologies for cascade-type converters have been suggested with the goal of reducing switch number, loss, switch PIV, etc. Meanwhile, output voltage steps increase, and the number of switches is predominately reduced in the suggested inverter in comparison to conventional cascade converters. Additionally, a reduction in the number of on-state switches in the introduced topology causes power loss and voltage drop to decrease. Firstly, the fundamental parts of inverter configuration are described. Afterwards, symmetric and asymmetric converter types are discussed. Simulation and experimental results for 11- and 23-level symmetric …


Regular Poles For The P-Adic Group $Gsp_4$-Ii, Yusuf Danişman Jan 2015

Regular Poles For The P-Adic Group $Gsp_4$-Ii, Yusuf Danişman

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We compute the regular poles of the L-factors of the admissible and irreducible representations of the group $GSp_4$, which admit a nonsplit Bessel functional and have a Jacquet module length of 3 with respect to the unipotent radical of the Siegel parabolic, over a non-Archimedean local field of odd characteristic. We also compute the $L$-factors of the generic representations of $GSp_4$.


Od-Characterization Of Some Alternating Groups, Shitian Liu Jan 2015

Od-Characterization Of Some Alternating Groups, Shitian Liu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $G$ be a finite group. Moghaddamfar et al. defined prime graph $\Gamma(G)$ of group $G$ as follows. The vertices of $\Gamma(G)$ are the primes dividing the order of $G$ and two distinct vertices $p,q$ are joined by an edge, denoted by $p\sim q$, if there is an element in $G$ of order $pq$. Assume $ G =p_{1}^{\alpha_{1}}\cdots p_{k}^{\alpha_{k}}$ with $P_{1}$ <$\cdots$&\lt;$p_{k}$ and nature numbers $\alpha_{i}$ with $i=1,2,\cdots,k$. For $p\in\pi(G)$, let the degree of $p$ be $\deg(p)= \{q\in\pi(G)\mid q\sim p\} $, and $D(G)=(\deg(p_{1}), \deg(p_{2}), \cdots, \deg(p_{k}))$. Denote by $\pi(G)$ the set of prime divisor of $ G $. Let $GK(G)$ be the graph with vertex set $\pi(G)$ such that two primes $p$ and $q$ in $\pi(G)$ are joined by an edge if $G$ has an element of order $p\cdot q$. We set $s(G)$ to denote the number of connected components of the prime graph $GK(G)$. Some authors proved some groups are $OD$-characterizable with $s(G)\geq2$. Then for $s(G)=1$, what is the influence of $OD$ on the structure of groups? We knew that the alternating groups $A_{p+3}$, where $7\neq p\in\pi(100!)$, $A_{130}$ and $A_{140}$ are $OD$-characterizable. Therefore, we naturally ask the following question: if $s(G)=1$, then is there a group $OD$-characterizable? In this note, we give a characterization of $A_{p+3}$ except $A_{10}$ with $s(A_{p+3})=1$, by $OD$, which gives a positive answer to Moghaddamfar and Rahbariyan's conjecture.


Generalized Weakly Central Reduced Rings, Ying Zhou, Junchao Wei Jan 2015

Generalized Weakly Central Reduced Rings, Ying Zhou, Junchao Wei

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A ring $R$ is called $GWCN$ if $x^2y^2=xy^2x$ for all $x\in N(R)$ and $y\in R$, which is a proper generalization of reduced rings and $CN$ rings. We study the sufficient conditions for $GWCN$ rings to be reduced and $CN$. We first discuss many properties of $GWCN$ rings. Next, we give some interesting characterizations of left min-abel rings. Finally, with the help of exchange $GWCN$ rings, we obtain some characterizations of strongly regular rings.


Uniquely Strongly Clean Triangular Matrices, Huanyin Chen, Orhan Gürgün, Handan Kose Jan 2015

Uniquely Strongly Clean Triangular Matrices, Huanyin Chen, Orhan Gürgün, Handan Kose

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A ring $R$ is uniquely (strongly) clean provided that for any $a\in R$ there exists a unique idempotent $e\in R$ \big($e\in comm(a)$\big) such that $a-e\in U(R)$. We prove, in this note, that a ring $R$ is uniquely clean and uniquely bleached if and only if $R$ is abelian, ${\mathbb{T}}_{n}(R)$ is uniquely strongly clean for all $n\geq 1$, i.e. every $n\times n$ triangular matrix over $R$ is uniquely strongly clean, if and only if $R$ is abelian, and ${\mathbb{T}}_{n}(R)$ is uniquely strongly clean for some $n\geq 1$. In the commutative case, more explicit results are obtained.


On The Second Homology Of The Sch\"{U}Tzenberger Product Of Monoids, Melek Yağci, Leyla Bugay, Hayrullah Ayik Jan 2015

On The Second Homology Of The Sch\"{U}Tzenberger Product Of Monoids, Melek Yağci, Leyla Bugay, Hayrullah Ayik

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For two finite monoids $S$ and $T$, we prove that the second integral homology of the Sch\"{u}tzenberger product $S\Diamond T$ is equal to $$H_{2}(S\Diamond T)=H_{2}(S)\times H_{2}(T)\times (H_{1}(S)\otimes _{\mathbb Z} H_{1}(T)) $$ as the second integral homology of the direct product of two monoids. Moreover, we show that $S\Diamond T$ is inefficient if there is no left or right invertible element in both $S$ and $T$.

Dynamic Behavior Of A Second-Order Nonlinearrational Difference Equation, Yacine Halim, Nouressadat Touafek, Yasi̇n Yazlik

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper deals with the global attractivity of positive solutions of the second-order nonlinear difference equation \begin{equation*} x_{n+1}=\frac{ax_{n}^{k}+b\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{k-1}x_{n}^{j}x_{n-1}^{k-j}+cx_{n-1} ^{k}}{Ax_{n}^{k}+B\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{k-1}x_{n}^{j}x_{n-1}^{k-j}+Cx_{n-1}^{k}},\ k=3,4,...,\,n=0,1,...,\label{eq1} \end{equation*} where the parameters $a$, $b$, $c$, $A$, $B$, $C$ and the initial values $x_{0}$, $x_{-1}$ are arbitrary positive real numbers.


Spherically Symmetric Finsler Metrics With Scalar Flag Curvature, Weidong Song, Fen Zhou Jan 2015

Spherically Symmetric Finsler Metrics With Scalar Flag Curvature, Weidong Song, Fen Zhou

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study spherically symmetric Finsler metrics F= y \phi( x ,\frac{}{ y }), where x \in B^n(r) \subset R^n, y \in T_xB^n(r)\{0} and \phi:[0,r)\times R \rightarrow R. By investigating a PDE equivalent to these metrics being locally projectively flat, we manufacture projectively flat spherically symmetric Finsler metrics in terms of error functions and, using Shen's result, we give its flag curvature.


Rings With Finite Ding Homological Dimensions, Chunxia Zhang, Zhongkui Liu Jan 2015

Rings With Finite Ding Homological Dimensions, Chunxia Zhang, Zhongkui Liu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study Ding homological dimensions of complexes. Special attention is paid to the dimensions of homologically bounded complexes that have nice functorial descriptions. These results are applied to give new characterizations of rings R such that l.Ggldim(R) < \infty and quasi-Frobenius rings.


Stability Of Perturbed Dynamic System On Time Scales With Initial Time Difference, Coşkun Yakar, Bülent Oğur Jan 2015

Stability Of Perturbed Dynamic System On Time Scales With Initial Time Difference, Coşkun Yakar, Bülent Oğur

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The behavior of solutions of a perturbed dynamic system with respect to an original unperturbed dynamic system, which have initial time difference, are investigated on arbitrary time scales. Notions of stability, asymptotic stability, and instability with initial time difference are introduced. Sufficient conditions of stability properties are given with the help of Lyapunov-like functions.


A Note On Infinite Groups Whose Subgroups Are Close To Be Normal-By-Finite, Francesco De Giovanni, Federica Saccomanno Jan 2015

A Note On Infinite Groups Whose Subgroups Are Close To Be Normal-By-Finite, Francesco De Giovanni, Federica Saccomanno

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A group G is said to have the CF-property if the index X:X_G is finite for every subgroup X of G. Extending previous results by Buckley, Lennox, Neumann, Smith, and Wiegold, it is proven here that if G is a locally graded group whose proper subgroups have the CF-property, then G is abelian-by-finite, provided that all its periodic sections are locally finite. Groups in which all proper subgroups of infinite rank have the CF-property are also studied.

A Decomposition Of Transferable Utility Games: Structure Of Transferable Utility Games, Ayşe Mutlu Derya Jan 2015

A Decomposition Of Transferable Utility Games: Structure Of Transferable Utility Games, Ayşe Mutlu Derya

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We define a decomposition of transferable utility games based on shifting the worth of the grand coalition so that the associated game has a nonempty core. We classify the set of all transferable utility games based on that decomposition and analyze their structure. Using the decomposition and the notion of minimal balanced collections, we give a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for a transferable utility game to have a singleton core.


Equivalencies Between Beta-Shifts And S-Gap Shifts, Dawoud Ahmadi Dastjerdi, Somayyeh Jangjoo Shaldehi Jan 2015

Equivalencies Between Beta-Shifts And S-Gap Shifts, Dawoud Ahmadi Dastjerdi, Somayyeh Jangjoo Shaldehi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let X_{\beta} be a \beta -shift for \beta \in (1, 2] and X(S) a S-gap shift for S\subseteq N \cup {0}. We show that if X_\beta is SFT (resp. sofic), then there is a unique S-gap shift conjugate (resp. right-resolving almost conjugate) to this X_\beta, and if X_\beta is not SFT, then no S-gap shift is conjugate to X_\beta. For any synchronized X_{\beta} , an X(S) exists such that X_{\beta} and X(S) have a common synchronized 1-1 a.e. extension. For a nonsynchronized X_\beta, this common extension is just an almost Markov synchronized system with entropy preserving maps. We then compute …


Spreading Speeds In A Lattice Differential Equation With Distributed Delay, Huiling Niu Jan 2015

Spreading Speeds In A Lattice Differential Equation With Distributed Delay, Huiling Niu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper studies the spreading speed for a lattice differential equation with infinite distributed delay and we find that the spreading speed coincides with the minimal wave speed of traveling waves. Here the model has been proposed to describe a single species living in a 1D patch environment with infinite number of patches connected locally by diffusion.


Some Remarks On Distributional Chaos For Bounded Linear Operators, Lvlin Luo, Bingzhe Hou Jan 2015

Some Remarks On Distributional Chaos For Bounded Linear Operators, Lvlin Luo, Bingzhe Hou

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The aim of this paper is to study distributional chaos for bounded linear operators. We show that distributional chaos of type k \in {1,2} is an invariant of topological conjugacy between two bounded linear operators. We give a necessary condition for distributional chaos of type 2 where it is possible to distinguish distributional chaos and Li--Yorke chaos. Following this condition, we compare distributional chaos with other well-studied notions of chaos for backward weighted shift operators and give an alternative proof to the one where strong mixing does not imply distributional chaos of type 2 (Martínez-Giménez F, Oprocha P, Peris A. …

The Fundamental Theorems Of Algebroid Functions On Annuli, Yang Tan, Qingcai Zhang

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

An extension of Nevanlinna value distribution theory for algebroid functions on annuli is proposed. The main characteristics are one-parameter and possess the same properties as in the classical case. Analogs of the Cartan theorem, the first fundamental theorem, the second fundamental theorem, deficient values, and the uniqueness of algebroid functions on annuli are proved.

Notes On Magnetic Curves In 3d Semi-Riemannian Manifolds, Zehra Özdemi̇r, İsmai̇l Gök, Yusuf Yayli, Fai̇k Nejat Ekmekci̇ Jan 2015

Notes On Magnetic Curves In 3d Semi-Riemannian Manifolds, Zehra Özdemi̇r, İsmai̇l Gök, Yusuf Yayli, Fai̇k Nejat Ekmekci̇

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A magnetic field is defined by the property that its divergence is zero in three-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifolds. Each magnetic field generates a magnetic flow whose trajectories are curves $\gamma $, called magnetic curves. In this paper, we investigate the effect of magnetic fields on the moving particle trajectories by variational approach to the magnetic flow associated with the Killing magnetic field on three-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifolds. We then investigate the trajectories of these magnetic fields and give some characterizations and examples of these curves.
