Comparison of the SCS-CN and Hydrograph Separation Method for Runoff Estimation in an Ungauged Basin: The Izmit Basin, Turke

The separation of surface runoff and base flow is a very specific problem in water balance calculations,particularly if there is not enough measured flow data. In this study, the SCS-CN method is used to estimate the surfacerunoff in the ungauged Izmit Basin. The CNs are estimated using the Hydrologic Soil Groups map, based on soil data ofthe General Directorate of Rural Services of Turkey and land use obtained from the CORINE-2006 database for differentAMCs. The surface runoff was computed using the SCS-CN method for the ungauged Izmit Basin that corresponds to17% and 21% of the rainfall, i.e. 134 mm (for Kocaeli Meteorological Station; rainfall=804 mm) and 171 mm (forSakarya Meteorological Station; rainfall=820 mm). According to SCS-CN method estimates, approximately 41-42% ofthe annual rainfall in the Izmit Basin directly contributes to the total streamflow, and 21-25% of it contributes to baseflow and unmeasured infiltration. To compare the results of the SCS-CN method along with hydrograph separationmethod, the gauged Yuvacık Dam Sub-Basin, which is hydro-meteorologically similar to the Izmit Basin, was selected.The results showed that 16% of the rainfall in the Yuvacık Dam Sub-Basin became surface runoff. Also, it was foundthat about 42% of the annual rainfall in the Yuvacık Dam Sub-Basin directly contributes to the total streamflow and 23%of it contributes to the base flow and unmeasured infiltration. These results confirm that the ratio of surface runoffobtained by the hydrograph separation method in the Yuvacık Dam Sub-Basin matches with the ratio of surface runoffcalculated using the SCS-CN method for the entire Izmit Basin

Demonstration of the protective effect of ghrelin in the livers of rats with cisplatin toxicity

Despite the various and newly developed chemotherapeutic agents in recent years, cisplatin is still used very frequently as a chemotherapeutic agent, even though cisplatin has toxic effects on many organs. The aim of our study is to show whether ghrelin reduces the liver toxicity of cisplatin in the rat model. Twenty-eight male Sprague Dawley albino mature rats were chosen to be utilized in the study. Group 1 rats (n = 7) were taken as the control group, and no medication was given to them. Group 2 rats (n = 7) received 5 mg/kg/day cisplatin and 1 ml/kg/day of 0.9% NaCl, Group 3 rats (n = 7) received 5 mg/kg/day cisplatin and 10 ng/kg/day ghrelin, Group 4 rats (n = 7) received 5 mg/kg/day cisplatin and 20 ng/kg/day ghrelin for 3 days. Glutathione, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, and liver biopsy results were measured in rats. It was determined that, especially in the high-dose group, the MDA, plasma ALT, and SOD levels increased less in the ghrelin group as compared to the cisplatin group, and the glutathione level decreased slightly with a low dose of ghrelin, while it increased with a higher dose. In histopathological examination, it was determined that the toxic effect of cisplatin on the liver was reduced with a low dose of ghrelin, and its histopathological appearance was similar to normal liver tissue when given a high dose of ghrelin. These findings show that ghrelin, especially in high doses, can be used to reduce the toxic effect of cisplatin

Preparation of a Clay Composite Containing Poly(o-toluidine) and Halloysite, and Examining of Its Performance as a Humidity Sensor

This study outlines the production of an electrically conductive clay-based composite containing the halloysite as clay mineral and poly(o-toluidine) (POT) as a conductive filler. In the study, conductive POT/halloysite composite was obtained by in situ oxidative polymerization of o-toluidine using ammonium persulphate (APS) as an oxidant between the halloysite layers. By changing the polymerization conditions such as polymerization time, o-toluidine concentration, APS, and the concentration of HCl solution used as the reaction medium, the composite with the highest conductivity (7.5×10-5 S.cm-1) was obtained. Structural and morphological changes and thermal behaviors that occurred after the composite formation was revealed using various characterization techniques such as FTIR, XRD, TGA, and SEM. The usability of the prepared POT/halloysite composite as humidity sensing material was tested in comparison with the pure POT component of the composite at a relative humidity (% RH) varied between 41-94 (%). Accordingly, it was found that the composite exhibited a fairly regular resistance change to varying relative humidity compared to pure POT polymer

Ostrakinda: A Game-Based Learning Toolkit for Ancient Mediterranean Cities

The study develops the 'Ostrakinda' toolkit for teaching morphologies of ancient Mediterranean cities. The methodology consists of a triple structure involving design, play, and analysis phases. In the design phase, the level of interest and actual demands of students regarding game-based learning (GBL) and ancient cities were explored through pre-experiments. The play phase involved experimental studies conducted in courses and workshops, where both physical and digital toolkits were tested by a total of 331 students. The analysis phase aimed to evaluate the impact of the game by systematically addressing five research questions. The results of the paired t-test confirm a significant difference in scores before and after playing the game, thus validating the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Additionally, Chi-square (X2) tests revealed significant relationships between the form of play and the level of abstraction in the game outputs. Individual and group experiences during gameplay were associated with various interactions, and group experiences particularly fostered competitive and collaborative learning. The extensive analysis using the GBL Design Scale, comprising ten critical factors (GBL-Fn), showed that the challenge factor (F8) had the weakest values, while fantasy (F5) and narrative (F6) had the highest values in the correlation matrix. Overall, the study contributes methodologically and contextually to the existing literature, offering valuable findings for the future development of similar strategies in architectural education. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of this interdisciplinary study, particularly with regards to technical, cognitive, and archaeological aspects. Nevertheless, the clear and effective structure of the game holds promise as a valuable tool for learning

Discoidin domain receptor 1 as a promising biomarker for high-grade gliomas

Background: Two fundamental challenges in the current therapeutic approach for central nervous system tumors are the tumor heterogeneity and the absence of specific treatments and biomarkers that selectively target the tumor tissue. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the potential relationship between discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) expression and the prognosis and characteristics of glioma patients. Materials and Methods: Tissue and serum samples from 34 brain tumor patients were evaluated for DDR1 messenger ribonucleic acid levels in comparison to 10 samples from the control group, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis has performed. Results: DDR1 expression was observed in both tissue and serum samples of the patient and control groups. DDR1 expression levels in tissue and serum samples from patients were higher in comparison to the control group, although not statistically significant (P > 0.05). A significant correlation between tumor size and DDR1 serum measurements at the level of 0.370 was reported (r = 0.370; P = 0.034). The levels of DDR1 in serum showed a positive correlation with the increasing size of tumor. The results of the 5-year survival analysis depending on the DDR1 tissue levels showed a significantly higher survival rate (P = 0.041) for patients who have DDR1 tissue levels above cutoff value. Conclusions: DDR1 expression was significantly higher among brain tumor tissues and serum samples and its levels showed a positive correlation with the increased size of tumor. This study can be a starting point, since it investigated and indicated, for the first time, that DDR1 can be a novel therapeutic and prognostic target for aggressive high-grade gliomas

Mekansal Deneyimin İlk Yıl Mimarlık Öğrencilerinin Tasarımları Üzerindeki Etkileri

Designers often call on their past experiences in order to solve new design problems. Information recalled from the memories of past spatial experiences play an important role in the establishment of the framework to be used when solving the current design problem. However, recalled information may be related to methods or certain aspects of the previous solutions of similar design problems which may not always be appropriate to the problem at hand. Therefore, such remembered spatial experiences may have adverse effects on the design process, for instance in the form of design fixation, a difficulty which may be more pronounced for inexperienced designers. This paper reports the findings of an experimental study which was devised to expose the possible adverse effects of previous spatial experiences on the designs of first year architecture students
