Arbitrary l-state solutions of the rotating Morse potential by the asymptotic iteration method
For non-zero values, we present an analytical solution of the radial
Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the rotating Morse potential using the Pekeris
approximation within the framework of the Asymptotic Iteration Method. The
bound state energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave functions are obtained
for a number of diatomic molecules and the results are compared with the
findings of the super-symmetry, the hypervirial perturbation, the
Nikiforov-Uvarov, the variational, the shifted 1/N and the modified shifted 1/N
expansion methods.Comment: 15 pages with 1 eps figure. accepted for publication in Journal of

The Energy Eigenvalues of the Two Dimensional Hydrogen Atom in a Magnetic Field
In this paper, the energy eigenvalues of the two dimensional hydrogen atom
are presented for the arbitrary Larmor frequencies by using the asymptotic
iteration method. We first show the energy eigenvalues for the no magnetic
field case analytically, and then we obtain the energy eigenvalues for the
strong and weak magnetic field cases within an iterative approach for
and states for several different arbitrary Larmor frequencies. The
effect of the magnetic field on the energy eigenvalues is determined precisely.
The results are in excellent agreement with the findings of the other methods
and our method works for the cases where the others fail.Comment: 13 pages and 5 table
Any -state solutions of the Hulth\'en potential by the asymptotic iteration method
In this article, we present the analytical solution of the radial
Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the Hulth\'{e}n potential within the framework of
the asymptotic iteration method by using an approximation to the centrifugal
potential for any states. We obtain the energy eigenvalues and the
corresponding eigenfunctions for different screening parameters. The wave
functions are physical and energy eigenvalues are in good agreement with the
results obtained by other methods for different values. In order to
demonstrate this, the results of the asymptotic iteration method are compared
with the results of the supersymmetry, the numerical integration, the
variational and the shifted 1/N expansion methods.Comment: 14 pages and 1 figur
Comparison of oxidation stability of virgin olive oils from different locations of Turkey
Ten kinds of virgin olive oil of two major cultivars (Ayvalık and Memecik) produced in several areas of Turkey (Bayındır, Edremit, Ortaklar, Burhaniye, Ezine, Tire, Havran, Ayvalık, Altınoluk, and Küçükkuyu) were analysed. The quality characteristics, fatty acid composition, total phenol, ando-diphenol content of the samples were determined. Oxidative stability and free radical scavenging activity were determined using Rancimat test, Schaal oven test, and DPPH method. It was found that while Memecik oil from Ortaklar demonstrated the strongest oxidative stability, Ayvalık oil from Ezine had the lowest oxidative stability among the samples. Fatty acid composition and especially oleic acid/linoleic acid ratio was previously defined as a parameter that can help distinguish cultivars from one another; however, this study proved that total phenol, especially o-diphenol content of the oil, has the strongest effect on oxidative stability compared to other factors including fatty acid composition

Games as Systems for Rehabilitation: A Design Strategy for Game-based Exercise Rehabilitation for Parkinson\u27s Disease
Games are of interest for health interventions including but not limited to physical activity and rehabilitation, behavior change, motor-cognitive training, and mood elevation. Despite increased interest in using games to produce positive health outcomes, the development or selection process of games, or their suitability for a target demographic in a context of health and rehabilitation, remains ad-hoc. As a result, game-based interventions lacking application specificity produce variable outcomes that obscure the true treatment effect of game-based therapies. To address this issue, we present a design strategy for game-based rehabilitation that uses a player-centric approach to develop/select games for specific contexts such as for improving functional deficits in patients with Parkinson’s disease. This strategy establishes a relationship between the exercise rehabilitation regimen and gameplay by incorporating the rehabilitation requirements, patient condition, and player affordances, into the game world. In addition, we present guiding questions to support the application of the design strategy for improving the effectiveness of game-based rehabilitations
The rotating Morse potential model for diatomic molecules in the tridiagonal J-matrix representation: I. Bound states
This is the first in a series of articles in which we study the rotating
Morse potential model for diatomic molecules in the tridiagonal J-matrix
representation. Here, we compute the bound states energy spectrum by
diagonalizing the finite dimensional Hamiltonian matrix of H2, LiH, HCl and CO
molecules for arbitrary angular momentum. The calculation was performed using
the J-matrix basis that supports a tridiagonal matrix representation for the
reference Hamiltonian. Our results for these diatomic molecules have been
compared with available numerical data satisfactorily. The proposed method is
handy, very efficient, and it enhances accuracy by combining analytic power
with a convergent and stable numerical technique.Comment: 18 Pages, 6 Tables, 4 Figure
Ultrasound Guided Percutaneous Nephrostomy For Obstructive Uropathy
We retrospectively evaluated the indications and complications in our patients that were performed of percutaneous nephrostomy applications with ultrasonography guidance.We evaluated 371 all patients whom applied percutaneous nephrostomy with ultrasonography guidance between January 2002 and December 2005 were evaluated retrospectively. The demographic data, cause of the obstruction, minor and major complications of patients were discussed.In this period, totally 455 Percutaneous nephrostomies (84 bilaterally, 287 unilaterally) in 371 patients (were placed in 113 females (30.45 %) and 258 males) were placed. The male (69.55%) patients whom mean age of the patients were 32.17 year (range 5 months to 85 years). In 17 of 371 (3.73%) patients, it was determined with antegrade pyelography that nephro stomy catheters were not in the kidney). Total success ratio was 96.37%. Causes of the obstructions were malignant diseases in for 76 patients (20.48%) and were benign diseases in for 295 patients (79.52%). The major complications were determined twenty-four of patients (6.46%). Major complications included macroscopic hematuria which needs transfusion (7 patients), septicemia (14 patients), and retroperitoneal colon perforation with needle (3 patients) were observed in 24 of the 371 patients. Minor complications were observed in 51 of the 371 patients (13.74 %). All of the minor complications were macroscopic hematuria that resolved in less than 24 hours. In conclusion, percutaneous nephrostomy with ultrasonography guidance were found as an effective and, safe and successful method for the drainage of upper urinary tract in the obstructive uropaty
The impact of ischemic stroke on connectivity gradients
The functional organization of the brain can be represented as a low-dimensional space that reflects its macroscale hierarchy. The dimensions of this space, described as connectivity gradients, capture the similarity of areas' connections along a continuous space. Studying how pathological perturbations with known effects on functional connectivity affect these connectivity gradients provides support for their biological relevance. Previous work has shown that localized lesions cause widespread functional connectivity alterations in structurally intact areas, affecting a network of interconnected regions. By using acute stroke as a model of the effects of focal lesions on the connectome, we apply the connectivity gradient framework to depict how functional reorganization occurs throughout the brain, unrestricted by traditional definitions of functional network boundaries. We define a three-dimensional connectivity space template based on functional connectivity data from healthy controls. By projecting lesion locations into this space, we demonstrate that ischemic strokes result in dimension-specific alterations in functional connectivity over the first week after symptom onset. Specifically, changes in functional connectivity were captured along connectivity Gradients 1 and 3. The degree of functional connectivity change was associated with the distance from the lesion along these connectivity gradients (a measure of functional similarity) regardless of the anatomical distance from the lesion. Together, these results provide support for the biological validity of connectivity gradients and suggest a novel framework to characterize connectivity alterations after stroke
