The extended Srivastava’s triple hypergeometric functions and their integral representations

We introduce the extended Srivastava’s triple hypergeometric functions by using an extension of beta function. Furthermore, some integral representations are given for these new functions. © 2016 All rights reserved

On a new extension of Caputo fractional derivative operator

In this paper, by using a generalization of beta function we introduced a new extension of Caputo fractional derivative operator and obtained some of its properties. With the help of this extended fractional derivative operator, we also defined new extensions of some hypergeometric functions and determined their integral representations, linear and bilinear generating relations. © 2017, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Firat University Scientific Research Projects Management Unit, FÜBAP --Acknowledgements This work was supported by the Ahi Evran University Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit.

Pediatric paraspinal penetrating sewing needle

Pediatric spinal injuries are very rare conditions and account for 1%-10% of all spinal injuries Domestic accidents, such as falling and bumping, are frequent events during childhood.In this study, a 1-year-old boy who was under treatment due to a penetrating trauma at the posterior thoracolumbar intersection is presented. The patient was referred to our clinic after a needle became impaled into his back due to an accident that occurred at home. The patient’s neurologic assessment was normal. A radiologic study of the patient showed the presence of a metallic foreign object, extending into the paravertebral muscle on the left side of the T12-L1 intersection. The needle was removed promptly after an emergent surgical procedure. No any complications were present during the follow-up visit after 1 month. Emergent surgical intervention is necessary in paraspinal and spinal penetrating traumas. © 2015, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, Universitas Indonesia. All rights reserved

Sustainable agriculture and forestry in the Mediterranean Partners Countries and Turkey: factors, indicators and challenges

The aim of this study is to define the main factors of sustainable agriculture and forestry in Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey. The study is based on the review of existing literature and country level analyses. In the study indicators which can be used to measure sustainability are defined and examined and data on these is collected. Major challenges of the sector in the study countries are tentatively examined. According to the study relatively much data is available, but not enough to guarantee balanced sustainability assessments. More data is needed especially on resource quality and land degradation, agricultural productivity and to some extent also on rural poverty. To biodiversity and cultural values should be given stronger emphasis than is currently done. For better understanding of the development, data gathering systems in the countries should be widened so that data is collected periodically and also from the regions and that in data collecting all aspects of sustainability are taken into account.Peer reviewe
