    Cataloged from PDF version of article.In this work we propose a new principle from the point of view of quantum fluctuations of observables. This new principle can be considered as an operational definition of ME states. Moreover, we show the existence of perfect entangled states of a single “spin-1” particle. We give physical examples related to the photons, and particle physics. We show that a system of 2n identical two-level atoms interacting with n cavity photons manifests entanglement and that the set of entangled states coincides with the so-called SU(2) phase states. In particular, violation of classical realism in terms of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and Clauser-Horne-Shimoni-Holt (GHSH) conditions is proved. We also show that generation of entangled states in the atom-photon systems under consideration strongly depends on the choice of initial conditions In order to obtain maximally robust entangled states we have combined maximum principle with minimum of energy requirement for stabilization, called Mini-max principle. We discuss the generation and monitoring of durable atomic entangled state via Raman-type process, which can be used in the quantum information processing. It is shown that the system of two three-level atoms in Λ configuration in a cavity can evolve to a long-lived maximum entangled state if the Stokes photons vanish from the cavity by means of either leakage or damping. We presented some results based on the application of spherical wave representation to description of quantum properties of multipole radiation generated by atomic transitions. In particular, the angular momentum of photons including the angular momentum entanglement, the quantum phase of photons, and the spatial properties of polarization are discussed.Can, Muhammet AliPh.D

    Ankara : Department of Physics and the Institute of Engineering and Science of Bilkent Univ., 2000.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2000.Includes bibliographical references leaves 36-39.Complete quantum mechanical treatment of multipole radiation is constructed. Vacuum noise of polarization for transversally and longitudirudly polcirized fields is discussed for different total angular momentum values due to the presence of quantum localized sources. It is shown that the spatial properties of the multipole vacuum noise are independent of the type of the radiation, either electric or magnetic. New definition of polarization matrix constructed from the field-strength tensor, Ricci Tensor, is introduced. Using Jaynes-Cummings model Hamiltonian for electrical dipole atom, some statistical properties of the rcidiation are considered. A new method for polarization measurement at short and intermediate distances from the source, based on the use of optical Aharonov-Bohm effect is proposed which is classified as a quantum nondemolition measurement. This proposed experiment leads to measure the longitudinal pohirization and spcicetirne correlation of polarizations of multipole radiation.Can, Muhammet AliM.S

    Objective:General forensic examination and reporting after trauma due to forensic events is important. It is aimed to evaluate the general forensic examination reports prepared for forensic eye injuries due to trauma in our region, taking into account the penal law.Methods:In the study, the medical records of 8.651 cases who applied to the Forensic Medicine Department for the preparation of forensic reports in the 6-year period between January 2016 and February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Eye injury was detected in 146 of the cases.Results:According to years, 8 (5.5%) cases were 2016, 17 (11.6%) 2017, 23 (15.8%) 2018, 24 (16.4%) 2019, 18 (12.3%) 2020, 48 (32.9%) of 2021 and 8 (5.5%) of them belonged to January and February of 2022. Thirty seven (25.3%) of 146 cases about whom a report was made were female and 109 (74.7%) were male. The male/female ratio (109/37) was found to be 2.94. Considering the age groups of the cases; 87 (59.6%) cases, 25 female and 62 male, aged 20-49, 2 female and 13 male, total 15 (10.3%) cases aged 10-19, and aged 0-9 years. A total of 3 (2.1%) cases were detected, 1 female and 2 male. There was no significant relationship between age groups and gender.Conclusion:In addition to general forensic examination reports, various difficulties are encountered in the evaluation of forensic eye injury cases. It was concluded that ophthalmologists and forensic medicine specialists should work together in forensic eye injuries, as in many branches, in the preparation of forensic reports

    The aim of this study is to present a rarely seen cornual molar ectopic pregnancy case regarding with literature. 36 years old patient with the third pregnancy was referred to our clinic with the prediagnosis of viable ectopic pregnancy. The patient had two vaginal delivery history and she had vaginal bleeding as spotting onwards fifteen days. Ultrasonographicassessment demonstrated ectopic pregnancy with positive fetal cardiac activity and 8mm crown-rump length (6W5D) at right cornual region. The patient was performed cornotomy with laparotomy. Postoperative pathological evaluation was reported as a partial molar pregnancy. β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) values declined dramatically and so additional treatment was not applied. Molar ectopic pregnancy findings are usually seen as conventional pregnancies and β-hCG values and histopathological evaluation is important for correct diagnosis and follow up

    Three-axis gap clearance I-PD controller design based on coefficient diagram method for 4-pole hybrid electromagnet

    Get PDF
    4-pole hybrid electromagnetic systems have a potential usage in many industrial areas, such as clean room design, transportation, semi-conductor manufacturing due to providing mechanical contact-free operation with considerably low energy consumption. However, the main problem of magnetic levitation process: it has highly nonlinear nature and even if it can be linearized, it has unstable pole(s), which makes the system vulnerable in terms of stability. In this paper, to overcome the instability issue and track the desired references for each degree of freedom, a modified PID controller (so called I-PD) design technique based on coefficient diagram method (CDM) has been proposed. CDM is an algebraic design applied to polynomial structure of the system on the parameter space, where a specific diagram is used to present and interpret the essential data. It is quite simple to apply with a visual support, requires basic mathematical computations for field engineers, and offers a good equilibrium in terms of simplicity, stability, minimum overshoot and robustness, which are crucial specifications for maglev applications. The effectiveness and feasibility of CDM-based I-PD controller have been compared with CDMbased classical PID controller over an experimental set-up

    This is an accepted manuscript of an article published by IEEE in 2020 International Conference on Information Security and Cryptology (ISCTURKEY), available online at https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9308004 The accepted version of the publication may differ from the final published version.Android gives us opportunity to extract meaningful information from metadata. From the security point of view, the missing important information in metadata of an application could be a sign of suspicious application, which could be directed for extensive analysis. Especially the usage of dangerous permissions is expected to be explained in app descriptions. The permission-to-description fidelity problem in the literature aims to discover such inconsistencies between the usage of permissions and descriptions. This study proposes a new method based on natural language processing and recurrent neural networks. The effect of user reviews on finding such inconsistencies is also investigated in addition to application descriptions. The experimental results show that high precision is obtained by the proposed solution, and the proposed method could be used for triage of Android applications

    OBJECTIVE: Neospora caninum is a protozoon parasite that has a worldwide distribution and mainly causes abortion in cattle and current serological evidence shows that the disease may be also zoonotic. Wild birds play a role as a reservoir of the disease in nature. The study aimed to determine the prensence of N. caninum in wild birds. METHODS: In this study, the presence of neosporosis in wild birds (n=55) including 22 different species found in the western side of Turkey, was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition, PCR positive samples were confirmed by sequencing, BLAST, and phylogenetic analysis using MEGA7. RESULTS: Obtained results showed that the presence of N. caninum DNA was 5.45% (3/55) in brain-heart homogenates wild birds. The bird species which were found positive for N. caninum were little owl (Athene noctua), common buzzard (Buteo buteo), and little tern (Sternula albifrons). According to phylogenetic analysis and BLAST, all samples were compatible with reference N. caninum isolates. CONCLUSION: To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the first study detecting N. caninum in little tern. In future studies, it may be interesting to investigate the prevalence of N. caninum in other wild animals to elucidate the transmission properties.Amaç: Neospora caninum, dünya çapında dağılım gösteren ve esas olarak sığırlarda düşüklere neden olan protozoon bir parazittir ve güncel serolojik kanıtlar hastalığın zoonotik olabileceğini göstermektedir.
