    (International Periodical For The Languages, Literature and History of Turkish or TurkicVolume 6/2 Spring 2011, p. 1083-1092, TURKEY, 2011) Yılmaz, Kaan
    Zihindeki kavramların somut temsilcisi olan kelimeler, sözlüklerimizde alt alta sıralanmış anlamlarıyla yer alır. Bu sıralamada öncelik temel anlama verilirken, daha sonra kelimenin yan anlamları gelir. Bir kelimenin yeni yan anlamlar kazanarak kavram alanının genişleyebilmesi için bazı şartların oluşması gerekir. Mesela, insan ilk defa karşılaştığı veya icat ettiği bir nesneyi ya da o nesnenin bir parçasını isimlendirmek için zihnindeki kelime dağarcığına başvurabilir. Bu yazıda icat edilen veya ilk defa karşılaşılan birtakım alet, edevat, araç, mekanik aksam ve eşyaların isimlendirilmesinde organ adlarından nasıl faydalanıldığı; bu isimlendirmelerde ne gibi özelliklerin etkili olduğu ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.

    (African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 11(5), pp. 1046-1053, 16 January, 2012, 2012) Yılmaz, Remziye; Akça, Oya; Baloğlu, Mehmet Cengiz; Öz, Mehmet Tufan; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Yücel, Meral
    Quality of the starting RNA is indispensably important for obtaining highly reproducible quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and microarray results for all organisms as well as S. cerevisiae. Isolating RNA from yeast cells with a maximum quality was especially critical since these cells were rich in polysaccharides and proteins. The method has been optimized through modification pretreatment applications for the isolation of S. cerevisiae RNA for qPCR and microarray analysis. Two extraction assay a TRIzol reagent-based method with three pretreatment applications and a commercially available kit with own pretreatment application, were compared for this purpose. Furthermore, the concentration yeast cells and enzyme were controlled in the range of 2 × 106 to 6 × 107 cells and 0.5 to 5 mg/ml, respectively to prevent RNA yields decrease and RNA degradation. Results of RNA isolation of the middle scales of yeast cells and enzyme concentrations which obtained fluxional deduct were not discussed here. Concentration and integrity of RNA samples were determined by μL spectrophotometer and Bioanalyzer, respectively. Quality of cDNA prepared from RNA samples was inspected with amplification using 18SrRNA primers in qPCR reactions. Furthermore, quality of RNA samples were evaluated using quality control parameters associated with performance of the assay and hybridization in microarray experiments. The highest yield and quality of RNA, which was appropriate for reverse transcription, cDNA library construction, qPCR reactions and microarray hybridizations without further processing was obtained by using Protocol C which used highest yeast cell and enzyme concentrations during the pretreatment application.

    Preliminary Assessment of Dietary Mannanoligosaccharides on Growth Performance and Health Status of Gilthead Seabream Sparus auratus
    (Taylor & Francis Informa Ltd Registered in England and Wales Registered Number: 1072954 Registered office: Mortimer House, 37-41 Mortimer Street, London W1T 3JH, UK, 2012) Gültepe, Nejdet; Hisar, Olcay; Salnur, Semih; Hoşsu, Belgin; Tanrıkul, T.Tansel; Aydın, Seyit
    A feeding trial was performed to assess the potential beneficial effect of two levels of mannanoligosaccarides (MOS) on the growth performance, feed utilization, hematological parameters, and liver histopathology of gilthead seabream Sparus auratus (also known as gilthead bream). Mannanoligosaccarides were added at the rates of 2 and 4 g/kg to a fish-meal-based control diet, and each diet was given (twice daily [midmorning and midafternoon] to apparent satiation) to triplicate groups of gilthead seabream growers (mean weight = approximately 170 g) in sea cages. The trial lasted 12 weeks, and the average ambient water temperature ranged from 19.6◦C to 24.7◦C during the experimental period. At the end of the experiment, fish attained market size (350–450 g) and their health status was evaluated by blood analysis and liver histology. There were no differences in survival rates among fish fed experimental diets. However, there were significant improvements in both growth and feed utilization among fish fed diets supplemented with MOS. Hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Ht) levels and erythrocyte, leukocyte, and thrombocyte (Thr) counts were unaffected by any dietary MOS. The levels of Hb (g/dL; mean ± SD) and Ht (%; mean ± SD) were 11.0 ± 2.5 and 45.6 ± 6.7 for the control group, 11.1 ± 1.7 and 39.3 ± 8.0 for the 2-g/kg group, and 11.2 ± 1.9 and 40.2 ± 8.4 for the 4-g/kg group. Themean Thr count ranged from 47.6 to 53.8 × 103/mm3. Despite the apparently higher Thr counts for fish fed diets supplemented with MOS, these differences were not significant. Moreover, no histopathological differences were observed in liver tissue cross sections between control and treatment groups. These results suggest that supplementation of diets withMOS had no significant effects on general fish health.

    (Radiation Protection Dosimetry (2012), Vol. 151, No. 3, pp. 546–555, 2012) Turhan, Şeref; Varinlioğlu, A.
    Measurements of the natural radioactivity arising from primordial radionuclides (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in marble and glazed tile samples used covering building materials in Turkey were carried out by gamma-ray spectrometer with a high purity germanium detector. The mean activity concentrations of the 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in marble and glazed tile samples were found as 8.2, 5.5 and 58.1 Bq kg21 and 81.2, 65.4 and 450.1 Bq kg21, respectively. The radiation doses received by occupants of buildings in which the sample marble and glazed tiles might be used are estimated using measured activity concentrations of constituent primordial radionuclides and dose conversion factors evaluated by the European Commission from models of tile use. Results obtained are presented for each radionuclide, analysed and compared with relevant national and international legislation, guidance and report, and with the results obtained from other studies. Results show that the use of such decorative building materials in the construction of domestic homes or workplaces in Turkey is unlikely to lead to any significant radiation exposure to the occupants

    (International Iron & Steel Symposium, 02-04 April 2012, Karabük, Türkiye, 2012) Buytoz, Soner; Ersöz, Emine; Islak, Serkan; Orhan, Nuri; Kurt, Bülent; Somunkıran, İlyas
    Yapılan çalışmada, SAE 1040 çeliğine plazma püskürtme yöntemiyle, Al2O3 tozu ve değişen oranlarda TiO2 tozu ilave edilerek Al2O3/TiO2 kompozit kaplamaları oluşturuldu. Elde edilen kaplama tabakalarının metalografi incelemeleri neticesinde lamelli bir mikroyapı içerisinde az miktarda ergimemiş partiküller, kısmi ergimiş ve tamamen ergimiş bölgeler gözlendi. Al2O3-TiO2 kompozit kaplamalarında TiO2 toz miktarının artmasına karşı gözenek miktarının azaldığı tespit edildi. XRD analizi sonuçları, kaplama tabakasında γ -Al2O3, α-Al2O3, Al2TiO5, ve TiO2 (rutil) fazlarının oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Kaplama tabakasının mikrosertliği alt malzemeye göre 3-4.5 kat daha fazladır. Kaplama tabakalarının ortalama mikrosertlik değerleri 650-850 HV arasında değişmiştir.In this study, Al2O3-TiO2 composite coatings were thermally sprayed on the SAE 1040 steel using atmospheric plasma spray (APS) process of mixed different rates of micron–sized TiO2 and micron-sized Al2O3 powders. The effects of TiO2 addition on the microstructure, phase compositions and microhardness of the coatings were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and microhardness tester. The results show that the Al2O3-TiO2 composite coatings consist of both fully melted regions, partially melted regions, and the unmelted particles in regions of lamellar-like structure. Phase transformations from mainly stable α-Al2O3 and anatase-TiO2 in the powders to predominant metastable γ-Al2O3, rutile-TiO2 and Al2TiO5 phase in the Al2O3-TiO2 composite coatings were observed. It was idendified that the pore content was decreased with increase of TiO2 powder ratio. The microhardnesses of the coating layers were found to be 3-4.5 times higher than that of substrate material. The average microhardness values of the coatings were changed as 650-860 HV.

    Particle bombardment transformation of some Turkish wheat cultivars with TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB2 genes
    (New Biotechnology · Volume 29S · September 2012, 2012) Battal, A.
    Wheat is one of the most important crop plants in the world. The production of wheat is seriously affected by biotic (pests, bacterial and fungal diseases) and abiotic (drought, salinity and freezing) stresses. NAC family proteins (NAM/ATAF1-2/CUC2) are plant specific transcription factors and related with development, defense and abiotic stress responses. TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB2 genes are the transcription factors from this protein family. The aim of this study was to transform of some Turkish wheat cultivars with TaNAC69-1 and TtNAMB2 using particle bombardment. After isolation of TaNAC69-1 from Triticum aestivum and TtNAMB2 from Triticum turgidum, these genes were cloned into pAHC25, an overexpression vector for monocots. pAHC25 includes bar gene as a plant selectable marker gene. Plasmids including TaNAC69- 1 and TtNAMB2 were introduced into immature inflorescences based calli of Yure˘gir-89 (T. aestivum) and Kızıltan-91 (T. turgidum) cultivars and mature embryo based calli of Mirzabey-2000 (T. turgidum) cultivar via particle bombardment. The bombarded calli were regenerated previously optimized tissue culture and regeneration conditions. After transformation of immature inflorescence based callus, the regeneration rate was about 16.2% for Yure˘gir- 89 and Kızıltan-91. The rooting rate for these two cultivars was 3.1%. The regeneration rate was 15.6% for Mirzabey-2000, with a 2.7% rooting rate. Putative transgenic plants were transferred to the greenhouse for maturation. The studies on the molecular characterization of putative transgenic plants have been continued.
