Publication The niplette for the nonsurgical correction of inverted nipples(Churchill Livingstone, 1995-03-01) Özcan, Mesut; Kahveci, Ramazan; ÖZCAN, MESUT; KAHVECİ, RAMAZAN; Uudağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi.; 0000-0001-8861-0417; AAG-4626-2019Publication Investigation of accessibility in recreational and leisure areas in Bursa-Turkey(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2019-01-01) Batman, Zeynep Pirselimoğlu; PİRSELİMOĞLU BATMAN, ZEYNEP; Ender, Elvan; ENDER ALTAY, ELVAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi; AAH-1655-2021Recreational areas, where people spend their leisure time, have become increasingly important due to the unfavourable living conditions caused by population growth and rapid urbanization. Recreational areas need to be accessible in order to be available and to increase their potential of use, in addition to the fact that they offer various activity possibilities and functionalities. The purpose of the study is to reveal the importance of transportation in recreation and to examine the relationship of transportation with recreational areas and recreational activities. The study was carried out in Bursa and conducted with "Weighted Criteria Method'. The study proposes improvements for accessibility levels and transportation for recreational areas. This study intends to contribute to the effective use of recreational areas.Publication Numerical investigation of multiphase transport model for hot-air drying of food(Galenos Publ House, 2019-01-01) Türkan, Burak; TÜRKAN, BURAK; Canbolat, Ahmet Serhan; CANBOLAT, AHMET SERHAN; Etemoğlu, Akın Burak; ETEMOĞLU, AKIN BURAK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi.; 0000-0002-4019-7835; 0000-0001-8022-1185; AAI-8222-2021; HPH-3328-2023; ABE-9423-2020; AAI-2745-2021; AAI-9653-2021Drying is widely used to prevent microbial spoilage by evaporating the determined amount of liquid in the food sample. In order to reduce energy consumption and increase food flavor quality, modeling the drying process is crucial. In the literature, different approaches are used for investigation of drying characteristic. Among these approaches, the porous media approach have complex phenomena. Molecular diffusion for gases (water vapor and air), capillary diffusion for liquid (water), and convection mechanisms (Darcy flow) were used in drying model in porous media. In this study, firstly, the effect of shrinkage on drying of porous media was investigated. Non-linear partial differential equations for air and food material in the drying problem were solved numerically for non-steady state condition. The shrinkage effect in the drying process was studied by using the ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian) method. In this study, air velocities of 0.5, 0.8 and 1 m s(-1), air temperatures of 40, 50 and 60 degrees C and the geometric forms of rectangular, cylindrical and square were selected for hot air drying process. The fastest drying was obtained at square shape food at the air temperature of 60 degrees C and the air velocity of 0.5 m s(-1). The analysis result showed that the air velocity and temperature have effect on the drying.Publication Teaching probability through understanding by design: An examination on students' achievement, attitude and views(Turkish Education Assoc, 2019-01-01) Ercan, Bahar; Altun, Sertel; Açar, Abdullah; AÇAR, ABDULLAH; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi.; 0000-0001-5985-7410; AAJ-8360-2021In this study, the effects of teaching the 10th grade students the subject of probability through lessons prepared via Understanding by Design (UbD) on their probability success levels and attitudes and also the students' views about this process were examined. The study was designed as an embedded experimental model. The students' attitudes towards probability were measured through the scale developed by Bulut (1994) and their success levels were measured by the achievement test developed within the scope of the study. The students' opinions were collected through individual interviews. Based on the analyses, it can be stated that although the teaching practice increased the experimental group's success level significantly compared to the pretest, it did not make a significant difference in the post-tests compared to the control group; however, it increased the attitude level of the experimental group significantly compared to both the pretest and the control group. Moreover, the students stated positive opinions about the way of teaching the course and its contribution to lessons and also emphasized the importance of probability in decision-making.Publication Introduction and assessment of a formative assessment strategy applied in middle school science classes: Annotated student drawings(Necmettin Erbakan Üniversitesi, 2019-01-01) Bulunuz, Nermin; BULUNUZ, NERMİN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/Matematik ve Fen Bilimleri Eğitimi Bölümü.; EPZ-5535-2022Formative assessment is a teaching method that helps to determine the prior knowledge of students, schedule the course plan accordingly, give it the final shape based on the feedback received from students, and encourage conceptual learning. The aim of this study is to introduce the "annotated student drawings" as one of the common formative assessment strategies used in science courses in middle schools and to evaluate the practices. The study was conducted during the classes of two science teachers who are doing their master's degree. In total, 48 students participated in the study from 5th (20) and 6th (28) grades. For data collection tools, annotated student drawings on the concepts of "pollination" and "water cycle" before and after the intervention and the science teachers' feedback about the strategy were used. The pre and post-interventional annotated drawings of the middle school students were compared. On both concepts, it was several alternative conceptions from the students' pre-interventional annotated drawings that were recovered on the post-interventional drawings. The findings indicated that the annotated student drawings are fairly effective formative assessment strategies in uncovering the prior knowledge and alternative conceptions of students in class. After the intervention, the students' second drawings gave detailed information on how the students' level of understandings improved. Formative assessment techniques are suggested to be used by science teachers instead of traditional assessments in order to: 1) Getting info about their students' initial understanding; 2) Reshaping their classroom instruction according to the feedback they get from their students; and 3) Always revising their interventional methods until the students got the main idea during the teaching period.Publication A design-based approach to enhancing technical drawing skills in design and engineering education using vr and ar tools(Scitepress, 2019-01-01) Huerta, O.; Unver, E.; Dawood, M.; Kofoğlu, M.; Ivanov, V; Kerren, A; Hurter, C; Braz, J; Kuş, Alparslan; Arslan, Rıdvan; ARSLAN, RİDVAN; Kofoğlu, Muhammed; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi; Kerren, A; Hurter, C; Braz, J; 0000-0002-0111-6879; 0000-0001-5054-3263; V-1754-2018There are concerns from higher education (HE) institutions and industry about the decline in standards of technical drawings (TDs) due to the lack of understanding of basic geometric construction and the conventions of drafting skills that underpin the best practices. There is growing evidence that simulations/animations along with augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies can improve learners' engagement, competence, and skills: especially when compared to traditional didactic methods. However, this approach to teaching and learning (T&L) is difficult when studied at distance, or without access to the appropriate technologies to carry out the suggested activities. Leading to the need to develop appropriate methods and content that suit this pedagogical problem.This paper describes the development of an AR/VR application to support the T&L of design and engineering students in education and industry. Using a multi-disciplinary design-based research methodology, this European (UK, Bulgaria, Turkey) funded research project combines pedagogy and technology to approach TDs education problems; and to develop an AR/VR education solution to address learning difficulties within the different critical TDs categories identified.This development is based on findings from an international study in three different categories covering the perception of TDs education, assessing of TDs knowledge and ability, and expectations of TDs education. This research project also covers the difficulties and good practices of multi-disciplinary teams for developing TDs and ARNR contents where the approaches to T&L may differ between practices.Publication Sum-edge characteristic polynomials of graphs(Taylor & Francis, 2019-01-01) Öz, Mert Sinan; Cangül, İsmail Naci; CANGÜL, İSMAİL NACİ; Yamaç, Çilem; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi/Matematik Bölümü.; 0000-0002-0700-5774; ABA-6206-2020Modelling a chemical compound by a (molecular) graph helps us to obtain some required information about the chemical and physical properties of the corresponding molecular structure. Linear algebraic notions and methods are used to obtain several properties of graphs usually by the help of some graph matrices and these studies form an important sub area of Graph Theory called spectral graph theory. In this paper, we deal with the sum-edge matrices defined by means of vertex degrees. We calculate the sum-edge characteristic polynomials of several important graph classes by means of the corresponding sum-edge matrices.Publication Influence of some environmental factors on milk yield and milk components traits in jersey cows(Parlar Scientific Publications (P S P), 2019-01-01) Kul, Ertuğrul; Gürcan, Eser Kemal; Çankaya, Soner; Abacı, Samet Hasan; Ülker, Mehmet; Çobanoğlu, Özden; ÇOBANOĞLU, ÖZDEN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi; 0000-0001-9633-634X; AAM-4544-2020This study was conducted to assess the effects of stage of lactation, parity and sampling season on milk yield and milk components in Jersey cows in Karakoy State Farm, Turkey. The data set consisted of 2657 milk records of 204 Jersey cows collected from September 2011 to December 2013. For this purpose, test day milk yield (TDMY) records and milk samples were taken once a month for 10-month period after parturition. The effect of stage of lactation, parity and sampling season on TDMY, fat percentage, protein percentage, fat yield and protein yield were found statistically significant (P<0.01). TDMY were correlated with fat percentage (-0.235) and protein percentage negatively (-0.254) but with fat yield (0.755) and protein yield positively (0.950) (P<0.01).In conclusion, these results suggest animal breeders that the effects of lactation stage, parity and sampling season may be taken into account in husbandry management to improve the milk yield and milk quality in Jersey cows.Publication Zagreb indices and multiplicative zagreb indices of double graphs of subdivision graphs(Turkic World Mathematical Soc, 2019-01-01) Çevik, A. S.; Togan, M.; Yurttaş, A.; Cangül, İ.

In this paper, the first and second Zagreb and multiplicative Zagreb indices of double graphs, subdivision graphs, double graphs of the subdivision graphs and subdivision graphs of the double graphs of G are obtained. In particular, these numbers are calculated for the frequently used null, path, cycle, star, complete, complete bipartite or tadpole graph.Publication What should be the protein target for adjustable human milk fortification in premature infants?(Professional Medical Publications, 2019-01-01) Dorum, Bayram Ali; Özkan, Hilal; ÖZKAN, HİLAL; Çakir, Salih Cağrı; ÇAKIR, SALİH ÇAĞRI; Köksal, Nilgün; Şen, Gizem Ezgi; ŞEN, GİZEM EZGİ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-2823-8454; 0000-0001-5761-4757; AAG-8393-2021; HJZ-4508-2023; AEZ-2469-2022; A-5375-2017Objective: To assess the short- and long-term effects of the adjustable fortification (ADJ) regimen on growth parameters in premature infants and to evaluate the amount of protein supplements given to reach the targeted blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels.Methods: In this retrospective study, preterm babies who were born at <= 32 weeks gestational age and fed with human milk, were evaluated in two groups. Infants in Group-I were fed only standard fortification (STD). Infants in Group-II were fed the ADJ regimen. The study was conducted between 2011 and 2016.Results: There were 123 infants in the STD group and 119 in the ADJ group. The mean gestational age of the patients in Group-I was 29.7 +/- 1.8 weeks, and mean birth weight was 1266.1 +/- 347.1 g. The mean gestational age of the patients in Group-II was 29.5 +/- 1.9 weeks, and the mean birth weight was 1217.5 +/- 345.5 g. The daily increase in weight and weekly increase in HC were significantly higher in the ADJ group infants. Weight and HC of infants in the ADJ group were significantly higher at 40 weeks. At one year corrected age, weight, length, and HC measurements of both groups were similar. In Group-II, 63% of patients required additional protein supplementation up to 1.6 g/day to achieve the target BUN levels.Conclusion: A higher protein intake through the ADJ regimen improves the physical growth rate of premature infants in the NICU and after discharge. However, sometimes, the targeted growth and BUN values cannot be achieved despite the administration of protein at the recommended increased doses. Increasing protein supplementation up to 1.6 g/day is safe, feasible, and beneficial for these infants.Publication The relationship between serum periostin levels, 6-minute walking test and quality of life in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(Carbone Editore, 2019-01-01) Eken, Özge Aslantekin; ASLANTEKİN EKEN, ÖZGE; Coşkun, Funda; COŞKUN, NECMİYE FUNDA; Demirdöğen, Ezgi; DEMİRDÖĞEN, EZGİ; Dilektaşlı, Aslı Görek; GÖREK DİLEKTAŞLI, ASLI; Ursavaş, Ahmet; URSAVAŞ, AHMET; Budak, Ferah; BUDAK, FERAH; Karadağ, Mehmet; KARADAĞ, MEHMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/İmmunoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-3604-8826; 0000-0002-7400-9089; 0000-0001-7099-9647; 0000-0001-7625-9148; 0000-0002-9027-1132; AAG-8744-2021; AAI-3169-2021; JPK-7012-2023; AAD-1271-2019; IZP-9398-2023; F-4657-2014; AAH-9812-2021Introduction: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of chronic respiratory diseases characterized by inflammation and fi-brosis in different patterns at the interstitium, which is the most common form of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Considering the prevalence, incidence, and outcomes of IPF, it is important to ensure the availability and validity of biomarkers that can be used in determining the diagnosis and prognosis. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between serum periostin levels, pulmonary function tests, 6-minute walking test (6MWT) and quality of life in IPF patients.Material and methods: Our study was carried out with 40 IPF patients who were followed at Uludag University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Pulmonary Medicine. Spirometer and carbon monoxide diffusion test (DLCO) for respiratory functions, 6MWT and periostin level measurement were performed on the patients, and results were recorded.Results: A total of 31 of patients were males and nine were females. The diagnosis of IPF was made according to the guidelines of ATS / ERS / JRS / ALAT with 25 (62.5%) patients by radiologically and 15 (37.5%) patients with histopathological and radiological features. The mean periostin level was 32.9 +/- 37.57 ng/ml. No significant correlation was found between St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score, FVC% predicted, DLCO adj% predicted values, 6MWT distance and periostin level which were measured simultaneously. A negative correlation was found between SGRQ score and DLCO adj% predicted value, 6MWT distance.Conclusion: It has been shown that there is no correlation between periostin levels and the results of the pulmonary function tests, when measured and performed at the same time. No studies are evaluating the relationship between 6MWT and SGRQ scores and periostin levels. In our study, serum periostin level, pulmonary function test results, 6MWT and SGRQ scores were not significantly correlated.Publication Almost balancing, triangular and square triangular numbers(Bulgarian Acad Science, 2019-01-01) Tekcan, Ahmet; TEKCAN, AHMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Matematik Bölümü.; AAH-8518-2021In this work, we derive some new algebraic relations on all almost balancing numbers (of first and second type) and triangular (and also square triangular) numbers.Publication Analysis of the 2d: 4d ratios of national and amateur football players(Int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2019-01-01) Acar, Hakan; Tutkun, Erkut; TUTKUN, ERKUT; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi.; 0000-0003-4233-7798; AAW-1186-20202D:4D has been identified as a biomarker for performance in various elite sports. The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between league status and 2D:4D ratios of national and amateur football players. 38 football players participated to this study who deserved participation FCBEscola Antalya and Istanbul camps according to the scouting results. 19 of players were national football players who have taken place at least one time in U14 and U15 Turkish national football teams and 19 of them were amateur players. The height, body weight, body mass index and 2D:4D finger measurements of the participants were taken. For the differences in the measurements results of the groups, the independent t-test was carried out and the results were evaluated in the p<0.05 significance level. In both groups a statistically significant difference was found between the right and left hand 2D:4D average values (p<0.05), and the right hand 2D:4D ratios were found to be lower than the left hand 2D:4D ratios. When compared the 2D:4D ratios of national and amateur players, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference were found between the right hand 2D:4D ratios (p<0.05). Both right and left hand 2D:4D averages in national football players were found to be lower than the amateur football players. As a result of this study, it can be said that 2D:4D may discriminate between national and amateur footballers, and lower 2D:4D ratios could be linked to performance for football players. But for the healthier evaluation of the relationship between sportive performance and 2D:4D ratios, other determinative talent identification parameters should be taken together.Publication Awareness level of students towards rural tourism: A case study from Azerbaijan State University(Univ Agricultural Sciences & Veterinary Medicine Bucharest, 2019-01-01) Gürbüz, İsmail Bülent; GÜRBÜZ, İSMAİL BÜLENT; Nesirov, Elçin; Macabangin, Modassir; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi; 0000-0001-5340-3725; 0000-0002-9711-8368; GLR-5492-2022; M-4349-2019The aim of this study is to examine the situation of rural tourism in Azerbaijan, its impact on rural development and the rural tourism awareness levels among the students. The research was carried out with 418 students in the Agricultural Economics Department of Azerbaijan State Agricultural University in the academic year of 2018-2019. Data were analysed using SPSS 24.0 statistical software. T-test and one-way analysis of variance, Tukey test was used for the analysis of the independent samples. Research determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the age, school level and monthly total household income variables while the rural tourism awareness level of the students differed significantly according to their gender, place of residence, mother and father occupational status. Students' holiday habits were also examined in the second part and their participation in statements related to rural tourism was analysed in the third part of the research. It is concluded that Azerbaijan has rich rural tourism potential and can be an important source of income if used correctly and will increase employment opportunities. However, it has been observed that there were problems with infrastructure, transportation, promotion and financing in rural tourism and that the work of the Ministry of Tourism was insufficient. Communication and cooperation between the institutions affiliated to the Ministry were weak. Rural tourism has been accused of accelerating cultural change and environmental problems.Publication Multi-proxy sedimentary records of dry-wet climate cycles during the last 2 ka from lake cildir, east anatolian plateau, Turkey(Comitato Glaciologico Italiano, 2019-01-01) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Çagatay, M. Namık; Selim, H. Haluk; Çakır, Cağlar; Yakupoğlu, Nurettin; Acar, Dursun; Kaya, Hakan; Karabıyıkoğlu, Mustafa; Akbas, Abdullah; AKBAŞ, ABDULLAH; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi.; 0000-0003-2024-0565; AAI-6814-2021Multi-proxy analyses together with AMS radiocarbon dating of sedimentary organic carbon of a sediment core from Lake Cildir, NE Turkey was carried out to study temporal changes in climate over the last two millennia. The lake is characterized by very fine to coarse silt-sized, carbonate-free sediments deposited at a relatively low sedimentation rate of less than 0.31 mm/yr. Results from element geochemistry, total organic carbon (C-org), and physical properties (gamma density and magnetic susceptibility results testified the occurrence of alternating cycles of drier and wetter climatic periods since about 2.2 ka cal BP. The period from 2166 +/- 112 cal BP to the onset of Little Ice Age, including the Medieval Climatic Anomaly, is represented by alternation of warm and wet conditions with intervening relatively low-magnitude dry periods. The cold Little Ice Age period, on the other hand, was dry, with upward decreasing trends of Zr and Ti and C-org as well as relatively low values of Rb/Sr, indicating decreasing chemical weathering intensity in the drainage basin and low organic productivity in the lake.Publication Mineral content of leaves, stalks and fruits of european cranberrybush plant (viburnum opulus l.)(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2019-01-01) Taşkın, Onur; TAŞKIN, ONUR; Aşık, Barış Bülent; AŞIK, BARIŞ BÜLENT; İzli, Nazmi; İZLİ, NAZMİ; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Biyosistem Mühendisliği Bölümü.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Toprak Bilimi ve Bitki Besleme Bölümü.; 0000-0002-5741-8841; AAH-5018-2021; R-7996-2016In this study, the protein and mineral contents of fruit, stalks and leaves of naturally grown European Cranberrybush were investigated. The macro element contents of European Cranberrybush fruits, stalks and leaves were determined as 0.52-0.51-1.94% Nitrogen (N), 0.09-0.04-0.42% Phosphorus (P), 0.93-0.10-1.17%, Potassium (K), 0.21-0.48-2.44% Calcium (Ca), 0.05-0.04-0.37% Magnesium (Mg) and 0.04-0.06-0.09% Sodium (Na), respectively. The micro elements were found 12.81-215.83-436.35 mg kg(-1) Iron (Fe), 5.69-12.38-8.05 mg kg(-1) Copper (Cu), 6.45-19.97-25.81 mg kg(-1) Zinc (Zn) and 1.56-26.62-40.47 mg kg(-1) Mangan (Mn), respectively. Protein results of fruits, stalks and leaves were determined as 0.52%, 0.51% and 12.10%, respectively. The results showed that the protein and mineral contents of the leaves (except copper) were higher than the fruit and the leaves, and the alternative evaluation possibilities of leaves should be investigated.Publication Extraction techniques for plant-based bio-active compounds(Springer-Verlag Singapore, 2019-01-01) Ömeroğlu, Perihan Yolcı; Açoğlu, Büşra; Özdal, Tuğba; Tamer, Canan Ece; Çopur, Ömer Utku; Swamy, M.

Plant-based bio-active compounds show antimicrobial activity, anti-inflammatory activity, immunostimulatory activity, anticancer activity, antioxidant activity, etc. Due to higher benefits of bio-active compounds, they have been used for the manufacturing of food supplements and food additives and as an alternative to drugs and an ingredient for foods to increase their functionality. The extraction is the main step to obtain a desired bio-active compound from the plant materials. Since bio-active compounds are synthesized in small quantities in plants and embedded within the plant matrix, sometimes complexed with other compounds in the plant, their proper extraction method is very crucial. There are two main extraction methods used for bio-active compounds: classical or conventional methods and nonconventional methods. The classical methods include soxhlet extraction, maceration, infusion, percolation, digestion, decoction, steam, and hydrodistillation. The disadvantages of conventional methods include higher consumption of organic solvents with higher purity, higher cost, lower extraction efficiency, long processing time, and higher temperature. Therefore, as an alternative to classical extraction methods, nonconventional methods have been applied extensively so far. Nonconventional methods were referred to as green technologies. Since energy and organic solvent consumption are reduced, those methods can be regarded as beneficial to the environment. The most important methods are ultrasound-, enzyme-, microwave-, and pulsed electric field-assisted extraction, pressurized liquid extraction, and supercritical fluid extraction. The extraction yields of bio-active compounds are strongly bound on the extraction method, physicochemical properties of the plant material, extraction solvent, temperature, pressure, and time. The present chapter focuses on the technologies used for the extraction of plant-based bio-active compounds and comparison of advantages and disadvantages of the methods and summarizes the recent advances in this field.Publication Evaluation of candidate gene effects and environmental factors on reproductive performance of holstein cows(South African Journal Of Animal Sciences, 2019-01-01) Ardıçlı, Sena; ARDIÇLI, SENA; Şamlı, Hale; ŞAMLI, HALE; Dinçel, Deniz; DİNÇEL, DENİZ; Soyudal, B.; Balcı, F.; BALCI, ÖMER FARUK; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veteriner Fakültesi; 0000-0003-2758-5945; 0000-0002-8015-9032; 0000-0003-2382-1330; O-3394-2019; AAH-6488-2021; AAH-6192-2021This study investigated the impact of nine polymorphisms located in the CSN2, CSN3, CSN1S1, CSN1S2, and parity on reproductive traits. The analysis was conducted on 165 Holstein-Friesian cows. Genotypes were identified using PCR-RFLP. The data of reproductive traits for four lactations were evaluated. Statistical analysis was carried out using least squares of the GLM procedures. Results indicated that CSN2 had significant effects on days before first insemination and first insemination to pregnancy interval. The SNP at the CSN3 was significantly associated with gestation length. A novel effect of OLR1-C223A on age at first calving was observed in the present study. Moreover, DGAT1 and LGB markers were significantly associated with calving interval and days before first insemination, respectively. In addition, significant environmental effects were as follows: calving year with days before first oestrus, days open, and first insemination to pregnancy interval; season with days open, first insemination to pregnancy interval, and calving interval; parity with days before first oestrus and days open. The present results and novel associations may therefore be useful and indicative for future studies on a genetic basis of cattle reproduction traits.Publication Emc design for battery electric vehicle (bev) propulsion system(Ieee, 2019-01-01) Güler, Sunay; Şimsek, Mustafa; Yenikaya, Sibel; YENİKAYA, SİBEL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Mühendislik Fakültesi/Elektrik Elektronik Mühendisliği Bölümü.Recently, Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) became a popular research and development area due to new regulations which aim CO2-free transportation and emission limitations by governments. The integration of electric propulsion systems, that basically consist of high-voltage battery unit, inverter, e-machine, charger, DC/DC converter, into today's cars represents a substantial challenge. Due to having High Voltage (HV) wiring harness and components inside BEV, EMC takes its place as a crucial point that must be investigated. In this paper, the authors show an image of electromagnetic environment of BEV propulsion system. Analysis and design of the propulsion system with practical techniques are represented for reducing the electromagnetic interference.Publication The relationship between serum levels of surfactant protein d in copd exacerbation severity and mortality(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019-01-01) Kalkan, Nurdan; Günlüoğlu, Gülşah; Aktepe, Esma Nur; Demirkol, Barış; Altın, Sedat; Günaydın, Fatma Esra; GÜNAYDIN, FATMA ESRA; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi; 0000-0002-9268-1071; HKV-2265-2023Background/aim: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In COPD patients, various inflammatory markers such as cytokines and acute phase proteins, which show systemic inflammation in the circulation, increase during exacerbations. In our study, we aimed to determine the relationship between serum SP-D levels and exacerbation severity, clinical course of the disease, and early mortality after discharge.Materials and methods: Fifty hospitalized patients with COPD acute exacerbation (46 male and 4 female) were recruited in this study. Thirty-three of the subjects (31 male and 2 female) were reevaluated after discharge. Venous blood samples were taken from all patients and followed up for exacerbation frequency, hospital admission, and mortality for 12 months.Results: Serum SP-D levels in the stable period of the patients were lower than exacerbation (P < 0.001). The median exacerbation period SP-D level of the patients admitted to emergency department in the first month was statistically significantly higher than that of the patients who were not admitted (P < 0.05) after discharge. There was a correlation between the rate of emergency admission and serum SP-D levels during the 12-month period after discharge (P = 0.04 (r = 0.29)).Conclusion: Our study showed that serum SP-D was found to be a useful biomarker in predicting emergency admission and predictor of the health status of COPD patients but did not predict early mortality after the exacerbation.
