Evaluation of linkages between equity indices : evidence from İstanbul Stock Exchange and Dow Jones

Ankara : The Department of Management, Bilkent Univiversity, 2009.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2009.Includes bibliographical references leaves 30-33.This study investigates the linkage between the major stock market indices of Turkey (ISE National 100) and USA (Dow Jones Industrial Average). Main purpose of this research is to measure the interdependence and cointegration between these indices and figure out the significance and the direction of short run relationship, if there exists any. Cointegration analyses based on Johansen Method demonstrated that there is not any cointegrating vector between these indices, refuting an integrated long term relationship. On the other hand -in this case of no cointegration- Granger Causality studies on the first differenced VAR model pointed out a significant unidirectional effect of Dow Jones to Istanbul Stock Exchange in the short run; which would enable feasible forecasts of ISE via index data from the US. These findings could be valuable to investors holding long and short term investment portfolios in ISE and/or in Dow Jones.Ertan, AytekinM.S

Effect of nitrogen rates on yield and fruit quality of fig (Ficus carica L. cv. Sarılop)

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effects of different nitrogen rates on yield and quality parameters, including aflatoxins in fig fruits (Ficus carica L. cv. Sarılop). For this study, one control and five different nitrogen levels were applied in a slope fig orchard in Egrek village in Incirliova, Aydin for two years. Yield, shoot length and some fruit quality parameters (cull ratio, ostiole width, color, brix and acidity) and aflatoxins were determined. An overall evaluation of fruit yield and quality notifies that up to 500g N/ tree can be recommended in the fertilization of fig according to findings of two years. However, it would be able to give absolute results from final report of that project in one year later

Effectiveness of Low-Level Laser Therapy in Chronic Plantar Fasciitis Conservative Treatment

Introduction:This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser treatment (LLLT) for treating chronic plantar fasciitis (PF).Methods:The records of 60 patients with PF were retrospectively examined in this research. Thirty patients who have been applied LLLT and given exercise program constituted a treatment group. On the other side, 30 patients who have been given exercises but not applied LLLT was selected as a control group. Along with exercise, the treatment group underwent a 10-day continuous, 12-minute, 1.6 W, 808 nm wavelength diode laser treatment using galium-aluminum-arsenide. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scale and the Foot Function Index (FFI) were used to assess the patients’ foot discomfort and functional condition while they were at rest, taking their first steps, and during activities. These assessments were all documented before, after, and after two months of treatment.Results:In the treatment group, all VAS, FFI, and AOFAS scores except alignment score has been significantly improved both in the first and the second months compared to the initial state (p<0.05). The improvement in these scores was higher in the treatment group than in the control group in the first and the second months both (p<0.05).Conclusion:These findings confirm that LLLT is an effective and reliable therapy choice in the conservative management of PF

The effect of using olive oil vegetation water on some physical and chemical characteristics of soil and nutrient element contents of fig (Ficus carica L. cv. Sarilop) leaves

In that project, it has been aimed to determine method of using that olive oil vegetation water as on organic manure in dried fig production and to obtain positive solution for environmental pollution. Fig and olive are important agricultural products in Aydin province. It has been accepted that reducing of crop nutritient quantities in agricultural lands is caused negative effect on dried fig product quality and yield. The oil vegetation water which is occurred in olive oil factory is caused very serious environment pollution. That project will be carried out in 2006-2012 years. The study is conducted in a farmer orchard which has 80 ‘Sarilop’ dried fig trees, located in Isafakilar village, Incirliova, Turkey. This experiment was designed in respect of randomized blocks with four replications and each replication was consisted of two trees. Totally five applications are on the carpet, those olive oil vegetation water applications include control, 25, 50, 75, 100 kg/per tree, respectively. In addition, there are two groups that determined implementing olive oil vegetation waters in every year and every two years (implementing one year and no implementing one year). According to 2006-2007 periods results; it has been defined that olive oil vegetation water applications are composed some dissimilarities on some physical and chemical properties in the soil. However, similar variations weren’t seen on leaf analysis

Optical model analysis of the 16O+16O^{16}O+^{16}O nuclear scattering reaction around ELABE_{LAB}=5MeV/Nucleon

In this study, the experimental data on elastic scattering of $^{16}O+^{16}O$ reaction at the incident energies $E_{LAB}$=75.0; 80.6 and 87.2MeV have been analyzed theoretically within the framework of the Optical model formalism by using the Fresco code. Our cross-section calculations have revealed a good agreement with the experimental data as much as the previous theoretical works. It is suggested that, more suitable fits with the experimental data may be obtained in coupled-channels formalism by considering the absorption due to the $3^-$ and $2^+$ channels.In this study, the experimental data on elastic scattering of $^{16}O+^{16}O$ reaction at the incident energies $E_{LAB}$=75.0; 80.6 and 87.2MeV have been analyzed theoretically within the framework of the Optical model formalism by using the Fresco code.

GÖMÜLÜ JEOLOJİK SINIRLARIN GÖRÜNTÜLENMESİNE İKİ ÖRNEK: OBRUK YAPISI VE SEYİTHACI FAYI, KARAPINAR, KONYA

Potansiyel alan haritalarında pozitif ve negatif anomaliler birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, anlamlı bir geometrik yapıya sahip olanlar daha seçilebilir görünmektedirler. Sınır belirleme uygulandığında, jeolojik yapı hakkındaki ön jeolojik model doğrulanabilir ya da doğrulanmayabilir. Doğrulanmadığı durumda öngörülen jeolojik modelin yeniden ele alınarak tartışılması gerektiği anlaşılır. Bu çalışmada önce sınır belirleme yöntemi tanıtılmış, yöntemin başarısı yapay veriler üzerinde denendikten sonra, Karapınar (Konya) bölgesinde toplanan detay gravite verisine uygulanarak bölgedeki obruk yapıları üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Aynı zamanda, bu yöntem aktif Seyit Hacı Fay zonununa ait verilere uygulanmış ve fayın GB’ya doğru devamlılık gösterdiği anlaşılmış ve bu bulgular tartışılmıştır

An anomalous addition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate to a carbonyl group: the synthesis of ((3aS, 7aR, E)-2-ethyl-3-oxo-2,3,3a, 4,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-isoindol-1-ylidene)sulfamoyl chloride

WOS: 000465322800001PubMed: 31164929In this study, we developed a new addition reaction of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate (CSI), starting from 2-ethyl-3a, 4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H- isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione. The addition reaction of CSI with 2-ethyl-3a, 4,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione resulted in the formation of ylidenesulfamoyl chloride, whose exact configuration was determined by X-ray crystal analysis. We explain the mechanism of product formation supported by theoretical calculations.Department of Chemistry; Ataturk University; Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey [TUBITAK-116Z506]The authors are indebted to Department of Chemistry and Ataturk University for financial support.
