HUNT, ARZU ÖZLÜER | YILMAZ, FERBAL ÖZKAN | ENGİN, KENAN
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of freshwater rearing on the fatty acid profiles of the whole body and muscle tissue of the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Half of initial fish were gradually acclimated to freshwater (FW) kept at the same temperature to salt water and grown in same conditions as their counterparts in saltwater (SW). The decrease in salinity caused an increase in the percentages of 18:1n − 9, 24:1n − 9, 18:3n − 3, 18:2n − 6 and decrease in the percentages of 14:0, 15:0, 20:0, 21:0, 20:5n − 3 and 22:6n − 3 both in the whole body and in the muscle tissue fatty acid profiles. The lipids of FW-reared fish contained significantly (P < 0.01) higher percentages of 18:2n − 6 and 18:3n − 6 than that of SW-reared fish. However, percentages of 20:5n −...

The Effect of Wearing Brake Lining Surface on Braking Performance
Sugözü, İlker | Sugözü, Banu
After braking, different wear types and micro-macro gaps occur on the brake lining surface. This situation varies depending on the amount of binder, friction modifier, reinforcement, lubricant and filler materials used in the brake lining content and braking conditions. In this study, the effect of brake lining surface morphology, which is worn after braking, on the tribological properties of the brake lining was investigated. In this context, the wearing surfaces of the brake lining after braking were examined. It has been observed that the braking performance increases depending on the rate of wear types seen on the brake lining surface.
The Effect of Braking Pressure on Friction and Wear Properties of Brake Lining
Sugözü, İlker | Sugözü, Banu
The brake system is used to slow down or stop the vehicle speed. The brake lining is the most important part of the brake system, which is used to slow down or stop the vehicle by converting friction energy into heat energy. The pressure applied to the linings in the vehicle brake system is an important factor for the lining performance. The brake lining exhibits different properties depending on the pressure applied during braking and the brake lining content. In this study, friction coefficient and wear properties of brake linings at braking pressures of 5, 10 and 15 bar were investigated. The pressure increase increased the disc surface temperature and the wear amount of brake lining.
Anatomical Study of the Tibialis Posterior Tendon's Connections to the Plantar Muscles and Its Relationship With the Severity of Hallux Valgus
Kurtoğlu Olgunus Zeliha | Örs Alev Bobuş
Changes in tendon morphometry around first-row bones are linked to the hallux valgus (HV) development. However, there are very limited studies examining the relationship between the connection status of the tibialis posterior (TP) tendon to the adductor hallucis (ADH) and flexor hallucis brevis (FHB) tendons and the development of HV. This study aimed to investigate the association between these tendon connections and the occurrence of HV. The study included 24 formalin-fixed adult cadavers and amputee feet (10 female, 14 male). The attachment sites and connections between the ADH, FHB, and TP tendons were recorded. Feet were classified into three groups: no connection between the three tendons (Group I), connection between TP and FHB (Group II), and connection between TP, FHB, and ADH (Gr...

Automated detection of quiet eye durations in archery using electrooculography and comparative deep learning models
Söğüt, Fatma | Yanık, Hüseyin | Değirmenci, Evren | Kesilmiş, İnci | Çömelekoğlu, Ülkü
This study presents a deep learning-based approach for the automated detection of Quiet Eye (QE) durations from electrooculography (EOG) signals in archery. QE—the final fixation or tracking of the gaze before executing a motor action—is a critical factor in precision sports. Traditional detection methods, which rely on expert evaluations, are inherently subjective, time-consuming, and inconsistent. To overcome these limitations, EOG data were collected from 10 licensed archers during controlled shooting sessions and preprocessed using a wavelet transform and a Butterworth bandpass filter for noise reduction. We implemented and compared a traditional model (SVM) and five deep learning models—CNN+LSTM, CNN+GRU, Transformer, UNet, and 1D CNN—for QE detection. The CNN+LSTM model achiev...
