Load Management of Industrial Facilities Electrical System Using Intelligent Supervision, Control and Monitoring Systems

The continuity of electrical energy is the main subject among all others affecting operational sustainability in industrial facilities. Therefore electrical system and its extensions shall be controlled, supervised, monitored and protected by intelligent systems. Hence, it is necessary to incorporate into electrical system required resources and hardware that will enhance the safety and sustainability of electrical energy by means of utilizing all available economical and technical means. In this regard; industrial facilities, along getting fed by national grid, install stand-alone production units too. However, electricity systems involving multiple energy production resources need to be run and controlled by smart systems that do not require technical manpower interference in order to comply with economical constraints, governing laws, regulations, etc. and be able to take prompt and correct decisions. Therefore, electricity systems should be enhanced with necessary prompt intelligent decision-maker and performer subsystems, which will continuously monitor, supervise, control and record electrical system and extensions and ensure system sustainability in case of occurrence significant change in the whole system. This article aims to illustrate all required smart systems that ensure sustainability and safety of electrical energy, complying with governing laws and regulations and an application regarding supporting systems in an industrial facility

Barbus xanthos, a new barbel from the Southern Aegean basin (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)

turan, davut/0000-0002-9586-6223WOS: 000541822600004PubMed: 31945184Barbus xanthos, a new species, is described from the Esen, Dalaman, Tersakan and Buyuk Menderes rivers in south-western Anatolia. It differs from otherBarbusspecies in the adjacent basins by having 53-60 lateral line scales, a weakly ossified last unbranched dorsal-fin ray (about 33-50%), numerous small irregular-shaped black or dark-brown spots smaller than scales, often forming large, black or dark-brown blotches on back and flank in juveniles and adults, and a straight or slightly convex posterior dorsal-fin margin.B. xanthosdiffers from its most closely related congener,B. pergamonensis, by nine nucleotide substitution sites in the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase I barcode region.This study was supported by a grant from the Suleyman Demirel Universitesi Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit (Project No: SDU-BAP1987D09).

Review of the ichthyofaunal changes in Lake Egirdir between 1915 and 2007

WOS: 000271250700004The ichthyofaunal changes in Lake Egirdir between 1915 and 2007 were reviewed It was understood that the most drastic change in the ichthyofauna of Lake Egirdir occurred in 1955 with the introduction of pike-perch (Sander lucroperca), and that the process of change continued with the addition of Prussian carp (Carassius gibeho) in 1996 and big scale sand smelt (Atherma boyeri) in 2003 Today, there are 15 fish taxi (10 native, 5 non-native) in Lake Egirdir. It was determined that, among the endemic species of Lake Egirdir, Handhrsch's minnow (Pseudophoxmus handhrschi) is extinct (EX), Eregli minnow (Hemigrammocapoeta kemah) disappeared, and Egirdir minnow (Pseudophoxmus egridiri) and Egirdir baib (Capoeta pestai) acre critically endangered (CR)Research Fund of Suleyman Demirel UniversitySuleyman Demirel University [SDU-05.M.1221]This study was supported by the Research Fund of Suleyman Demirel University (grant SDU-05.M.1221).

Phylogeography of the genusChondrostomaAgassiz, 1835 (Teleostei: Leuciscidae) in Anatolia, as inferred from mitochondrial DNA analysis

WOS: 000550952000001The molecular phylogeny of the Anatolian species of the genusChondrostoma(Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae) was studied by sequencing of the mitochondrial cyt b gene. A total of 144 tissue samples from 14 described species were collected from 35 different localities in Turkey. in total, 74 cyt b haplotypes were identified. Haplotype network construction and phylogenetic analysis allocated all 14 species to two main haplogroups that are congruent with those currently accepted on the basis of morphological characteristics. the first haplogroup, the Nasus lineage, is distributed across Caucasia and the Black Sea and Marmara regions and is also represented in the Aegean basin. the second haplogroup, the Regium lineage, is distributed from eastern Anatolia to the Mediterranean Sea basin. Based on estimates generated in this study, the radical divergence between the mainChondrostomahaplogroups in Turkey occurred during the late Miocene (Tortonian stage) and late Pliocene Period, approximately 5.82 Mya (8.48-3.45 Mya). the splitting of the Nasus lineage occurred approximately 5.11 Mya, in the early Pliocene, and the Regium Lineage diverged from its sister group, the Nasus lineage approximately 4.77 Mya. the primary diversification events for the species belonging to these two haplogroups occurred in the Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene which coincides with the uplifting of the Anatolian plateau about 2.5-3.0 Mya.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), Directorate of Academic Research Funding Programmes (ARDEB)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [KBAG-111T900]This study was funded by a government grant from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), Directorate of Academic Research Funding Programmes (ARDEB) (Project No: KBAG-111T900)

Molecular systematics and phylogeography of the genusAlburnusHeckel, 1843 (Teleostei, Leuciscidae) in Turkey

AKSU, ISMAIL/0000-0002-2104-9888WOS: 000549746400001PubMed: 32654564In this study, the phylogeny ofAlburnusgenus distributed in Turkish freshwaters was performed by analyzing mitochondrial cytbgene (1141 bp) and COI gene (1551 bp) sequences from 1172 samples representing 112 populations of 24 species through their geographical distribution. According to our findings, 20 valid species are distributed in Turkey of which 18 have already been known. While sixAlburnusspecies (A. battalgilae, A. istanbulensis, A. carinatus, A. schischkovi, A. nasreddini ve A. adanensis) have been synonomized, two new species (Alburnussp.1 andAlburnussp.2) from Dicle River and capraz Stream/Susurluk River have been identified. Extinct species such asA.akiliandA. nicaeensishave not been observedin situ. Phylogenetic tree topologies and haplotype network of the 119 cytband 80 COI haplotypes detected inAlburnusspecies have indicated a consensus tree topology containing twenty lineages, each of corresponding to one species, and threeAlburnushaplogroups corresponding to the geographical origins: Eastern Anatolia (I), Mediterranean (2) and Western & Northern Anatolia (3). the results indicate that the divergence between those haplogroups may have occurred during the Middle Miocene-Middle Pleistocene periods (from 14.9 to 5.29 million years).Scientific and Technical Research Council of TurkeyTurkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK); (TUBITAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [KBAG-215Z074]This work was supported by the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey.

A new Chondrostoma species from the Buyuk Menderes River Basin, Turkey (Teleostei: Cyprinidae)

GUCLU, Salim Serkan/0000-0002-9256-449XWOS: 000445800000004In a study of the fishes of the Buyuk Menderes River Basin, Aegean region of Turkey, two populations of Chondrostoma were found which showed clearly distinctive characters: the population from the Upper B. Menderes (Ikl Lake) was attributed to C. meandrense Elvira, 1987, while the population from the Cine Stream in the Lower B. Menderes River basin proved to be a hitherto undescribed species: Chondrostoma turnai sp. n. Altogether 24 metric and 7 meristic parameters were compared. the new species is distinguished from C. meandrense and all other cogeners by a combination of the number of lateral line scales, the number of scale rows between the lateral line and the dorsal-fin origin, the number of scale rows of the lateral line and pelvic-fin origin, and the number of gill rakers on the first gill arch.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:811C213D-BEDD-4C8C-AE57-BFFA7964781AScientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TuBTAK)Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK) [KBAG-111T900]This study was supported by a grant from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TuBTAK) (Project No: KBAG-111T900)
