Canopy analysis and thermographic abnormalities determination possibilities of olive trees by using data mining algorithms

In order to take the appropriate tree protection measures, it is crucial to determine and track abnormalities that may occur in olive trees in time to time for many reasons. Abnormalities start in different sections of the trees, depending on the environmental effects of the olive tree, with a specific impact like fungal diseases, drought, etc. after a certain age especially in non-resistant species. Protection steps may be taken when abnormalities are apparent or predictable in certain olive trees, using some external indicators. However, when abnormalities formed within trees cannot be identified externally, there is a sudden breakdown and overthrow of valuable properties, such as monument trees. In the literature, various devices and methods are explained to classify these defects in different trees. By the way, in this research, a non-destructive inspection method (thermography) was clarified and used to assess anomalies in old olive trees without damage in the interior. According to the results of average thermal data, 60, 400, 600 year-old olive trees, 60-40, 70-30 and 80-20 learning-prediction data rates decision tree and random forest results according to normal and abnormal thermal difference, the thermal range was found as 35.95 ℃ at 60 year-old tree, also it was found as 36.25 ℃ at 400 year-old tree and it was found as 38.25 ℃ at 600 year-old tree

EV MOBİLYALARI ÜRETEN FABRİKALAR İÇİN LABORATUVAR PLANLAMASI

Mobilya üretiminde her geçen gün artan müşteri istekleri firmaların daha kaliteli mobilya üretimini teşvik etmektedir. Buna göre üretilen mobilyaların sağlam, dayanıklı, kullanışlı mobilyalar olması gerektiğini bütün dünya kabul etmiştir. Ancak kalite sadece sağlamlık bakımından değer görmeyip estetiklik, ergonomiklik ve yerine göre kullanışlılık vb. unsurlardan oluşmaktadır. Ülkemizde Türk Standartları Enstitüsü, her sektörden üretilen ürünler için belirli bazı testlere tabi tutulmak üzere standartlar oluşturmuştur.Yapılan çalışmada amaç, ev mobilyaları üretimi yapan ve laboratuvar kurmayı planlayan firmalara örnek model oluşturmaktır. Çalışma kapsamında; mobilya test cihazları ve testler tanıtılarak, ürün gruplarına göre kutu tipi – iskelet tipi – döşemeli tip vb. ev mobilyaları için laboratuvar planlaması yapılmıştır. Bunun için TS EN/ISO/IEC 17025 standardı referans alınmıştır.

Real-World Outcomes of Anti-VEGF Treatment for Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Turkey: A Multicenter Retrospective Study, Bosphorus Retina Study Group Report No: 1

Objectives: To evaluate the real-world outcomes of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients. Materials and Methods: Multicenter, retrospective, interventional, non-comparative study. The records of nAMD patients treated with an anti-VEGF agent on a pro re nata treatment regimen basis between January 2013 and December 2015 were reviewed. The patients who completed a follow-up period of 12 months were included. Primary outcome measures of this study were the visit and injection numbers during the first year. Results: Eight hundred eighty eyes of 783 patients met the inclusion criteria for the study. Mean number of visits at month 12 was 6.9±2.5 (range: 1-15). Mean number of injections at month 12 was 4.1±1.9 (range: 1-11). Mean visual acuity at baseline and months 3, 6, and 12 was 0.90±0.63 LogMAR (range: 0.0-3.0), 0.79±0.57 LogMAR (range: 0.0-3.0), 0.76±0.57 LogMAR (range: 0.0-3.0), and 0.79±0.59 LogMAR (range: 0.0-3.0), respectively. Mean central retinal thickness at baseline and months 6 and 12 was 395±153 μm (range: 91-1582), 330±115 μm (range: 99-975), and 332±114 μm (range: 106-1191), respectively. Conclusion: The numbers of visits and injections were much lower than ideal and were insufficient with the pro re nata treatment regimen

Yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonu hastalarında fotodinamik tedavi sonuçları

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy in patients who had choroidal neovascularization due to agerelated macular degeneration (AMD). Materials and Methods: Data on 30 eyes of 30 patients were evaluated. Sixteen patients were men and 14 were women. Mean age was 68.4;plusmn;8.74 (47 to 81 years) years. Mean follow-up time was 15.7;plusmn;3.28 months (10-22 months). The patients;amp;#8217; best corrected visual acuities were measured by Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart number 2 and lesion types and the GLD of the lesions were measured by Topcon Image Net Fundus Camera. The indication for photodynamic therapy was based on the European Ophthalmology Society;amp;#8217;s criteria published in 2001. The patients were invited to undergo control examinations 1 week and 3 months after the therapy and thereafter every 3 months. In each control examination the best corrected visual acuity was checked by ETDRS chart, fundus examinations were performed and fundus photographs were recorded by fundus camera, and FFA examinations was performed, especially in the first and second controls. Results: After 2;plusmn;1.44 therapies (ranging from 1 to 5) 22 patients (73.3%) could have been treated, but 8 patients (27.7%) had persistent CNVs. There was no significant difference in visual loss between the two groups but the loss in the successful group was 1.5 LogMAR standard lines less than that in the unsuccessful group.Amaç: Bu çalışmada fotodinamik tedavinin yaşa bağlı maküla dejenerasyonda gelişen koroidal neovaskülarizasyonların tedavisindeki etkinliği değerlendirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 30 hastanın 30 gözü alındı. Hastaların 16’sı (%53.3) erkek, 14’ü (%47.7) kadındı. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 68.4±8.74 (47-81 yaş), ortalama takip süresi 15.7±3.28 ay (10-22 ay) idi. Tedavi öncesi hastaların en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy Study 2 numaralı eşeli ve lezyon tipleri ve lezyon büyüklükleri fundus kamera ile ölçüldü. Hastalara fotodinamik tedavi endikasyonu Avrupa Oftalmoloji Cemiyeti’nin 2001 yılında yayınladığı rehbere göre kondu. Hastalar FDT sonrası 1. hafta, 3. ay ve sonrasında her üç ayda bir kontrol edildi. Kontrollerde ETDRS eşeli ile en iyi düzeltilmiş görme keskinlikleri, fundus muayeneleri ve fundus kamera ile renkli fundus görüntüleri alındı ve özellikle ilk ve ikinci kontrollerde FFA’ları çekildi. Hastalar kontrollerinde FFA’daki florosein sızdırma özelliklerine göre dört gruba ayrıldılar ve sızıntının olmadığı durumlar ile sızıntının %50’den daha az hale geldiği durumlarda tedavi başarılı, sızıntının %50’den fazla olduğu durumlarda ise başarısız kabul edildi. Bulgular: Ortalama 2±1.44 (1-5) seanslık tedavi sonucunda 22 (%73.3) olguda KNV’nin gerilediği, 8 (%27.7) olguda ise KNV’nin devam ettiği tespit edildi. Başarılı grupla başarısız grup görme kaybı açısından değerlendirildiğinde başarılı grupta ortalama 1.5 LogMAR standart sırası daha az görme kaybı gelişti fakat aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi. (p=0.101). Tartışma: Sonuç olarak Verteporfin ile FDT ile Eksudatif tip YBMD tedavisinde etkili ve güvenli bir yöntemdir
