The CSCL environment was designed by integrating the ACODESA method and dynamic mathematics software GeoGebra. The participants included 18 university students. The proofs and GeoGebra files of the participants and transcripts of arguments during the GeoGebra-integrated collaborative phases of ACODESA were analyzed based on Habermas' theory of rationality and Duval's theory of registers of semiotic representation. The students improved their proof in building a geometric representation (e.g., drawing a secant line on a constant function graph), and in the treatment within the algebraic register (e.g., during the expansion of (x+h)n)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${(x+h)}<^>{n})$$\end{document} in the context of epistemic rationality. They developed their proof in the conversion (e.g., drawing a secant line in the geometric register and hence obtaining algebraic representation of the derivative function) in the context of teleological rationality. The students provided more understandable proofs due to their improvement in the context of communicative rationality. The difficulties experienced by the students in building representations, treatment, and conversion could be analyzed with the combined application of Duval's theory of registers of semiotic representation and Habermas' theory of rationality. Based on the results of the study, it is suggested to design GeoGebra-integrated CSCL environments to support students' performance in constructing and transforming representations within the context of being rational during the teaching of proofs related to calculus concepts.Öğe Gamma irradiation effects on diphenhydramine hydrochloride: an EPR study(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Sütçü, Kerem; Aydın, MuratThis study seeks to detect and characterize the free radicals generated in gamma-irradiated diphenhydramine hydrochloride (DP-HCl), a precursor for an antihistamine drug. The investigation aims to assess the radiation sensitivity of DP-HCl under varying microwave power, radiation doses, temperature conditions, and storage durations. After irradiation with 14 kGy, the observed radical associated with the –ĊHCH2N– fragment exhibited a singlet signal with a g-value of g = 2.0016 ± 0.0005. The signal intensities from experimental spectra within the 2–20 kGy dose range were found to exhibit the optimal fit with a polynomial function. Experimental spectra were recorded in the temperature range of 123–423 K to investigate whether distinct types of radicals were formed at low and high temperatures. Furthermore, the stability of the free radicals generated in the irradiated sample was assessed by determining the extinction curves of the signal intensities of the sample. The novelty of this study lies in examining the radiation sensitivity of the –ĊHCH2N– radical, demonstrating its remarkable stability across different temperatures and storage durations. This leads to the conclusion that radiation sterilization of the DP-HCl sample is not suitable.Öğe Phosphorus-nitrogen compounds: Part 76. design and syntheses of dispiro- and trispiro(N/N)cyclotriphosphazenes: Conformational and structural analyses, chirality, electrochemical, dye-sensitized solar cells, and bioactivity studies(American Chemical Society, 2024) Cemaloğlu, Reşit; Asmafiliz, Nuran; Tümer, Yasemin; Hökelek, Tuncer; Kılıç, Zeynel; Çelik, Nejla Nur; Açık, Leyla; Güzel, Remziye; Erdal, Gülbahar GüzelThe reactions of monospirocyclotriphosphazenes (1 and 2) with N-methyl-1,3-diaminopropane gave unsymmetrical cis-(3 and 5) and trans-(4 and 6) dispirocyclotriphosphazenes. Trans-cis-trans (tct) (7 and 11), cis-cis-cis (ccc) (8 and 12), trans-trans-cis (ttc) (9 and 13), and cis-trans-trans (ctt) (14) trispirocyclotriphosphazenes were obtained from the reactions of 3 and 5 and 4 and 6 with N-methyl-1,3-diaminopropane. cis-Dispirocyclotriphosphazenes (3 and 5) exist as “pseudomesoracemates”, while trans-dispirocyclotriphosphazenes (4 and 6) are in “racemates”. The existences of cis-3 and trans-4 as “pseudomesoracemate” and “racemate” were confirmed by 31P NMR spectra recorded by the addition of “chiral solvating agent (CSA)”. X-ray crystallography proved that the absolute configurations of each enantiomer of cis-5 and trans-6 are SS′ and RS′. Trispirocyclotriphosphazenes tct, ttc, ccc, and ctt exist as racemates, pseudomesoracemate, and meso forms. Furthermore, Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structures of cis-5 and trans-6 revealed that the most significant contribution to crystal packing comes from H···H (58.2 and 57.6%, respectively). An oxidation-reduction wave was detected in the reversible cyclic voltammograms of the phosphazenes. The highest power conversion efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cell studies was obtained with cis-5. Additionally, trans-6 exhibited the lowest minimal inhibitory concentration value (78.1 μM) against Candida tropicalis, and it was observed to cleave pBR322 plasmid DNA.Öğe Comparative study on silver nanoparticle synthesis using male and female pistacia khinjuk leaf extracts: Enhanced efficacy of female leaf extracts(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024) Tural, Bilsen; Ertaş, Erdal; Batıbay, Hayri; Tural, ServetThis study aims to uncover the potential differences in bioactive compounds present in leaf extracts obtained from female and male individuals of Pistacia khinjuk, abundantly found in the Southeast Anatolia region of Turkey, and their roles in influencing the properties of synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Results obtained through TEM and SEM imaging techniques determined the morphology and size of AgNPs synthesized from female (FL-AgNPs) and male (ML-AgNPs) leaf extracts. Additionally, FTIR spectrum analysis demonstrated the chemical composition of the FL-AgNPs, ML-AgNPs, and the extracts. Zeta potential and zeta sizer analyses revealed differences between nanoparticles obtained from female and male plants. The total phenolic content of leaf extracts from female plants is significantly higher than that obtained from male plants (female plants: 30.68±0.26 mg GAE/g, male plants: 24.22±0.37 mg GAE/g). Furthermore, FL-AgNPs (43.2±2.64 mg GAE/g) exhibit higher antioxidant activity compared to ML-AgNPs (31.7±1.16 mg GAE/g). ICP-MS analyses indicate that FL-AgNPs are synthesized with higher efficiency compared to ML-AgNPs (FL-AgNPs: 99.90±0.106 %, ML-AgNPs: 94.99±0.079 %). Finally, the antibacterial efficacy of FL-AgNPs and ML-AgNPs nanoparticles was evaluated agar well diffusion method against the pathogen Escherichia coli (E.Coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus].Öğe General decay and blow up of solutions for a plate viscoelastic p(x)-Kirchhoff type equation with variable exponent nonlinearities and boundary feedback(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2024) Ferreira, Jorge; Pişkin, Erhan; Shahrouzi, MohammadIn this paper, we consider a plate viscoelastic p(x)–Kirchhoff type equation with variable-exponent nonlinearities of the form (Figure presented.) associated with initial and boundary feedback. Under appropriate conditions on p(·), m(·) and q(·), general decay result along the solution energy is proved. By introducing a suitable auxiliary function, it is also shown that regarding negative initial energy and a suitable range of variable exponents, solutions blow up in a finite time.Öğe Synthesis, molecular modeling, DFT studies, and EPR analysis of 1,4-dihydropyridines as potential calcium channel blockers(Elsevier B.V., 2024) Aslan, Ebru Koçak; Lam, Kevin; Dengiz, Çağatay; Denzinger K.; Erdamar, Işık Yeşim Dicle; Huang, Sun; Wolber, Gerhard1,4-Dihydropyridines (DHPs) are widely recognized as a highly effective class of L-type calcium channel blockers that offer significant therapeutic potential in managing cardiovascular conditions. Furthermore, their ability to target other types of calcium channels makes DHPs attractive candidates for therapeutic applications in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Close examination of the chemical structures of approved DHP-based antihypertensive drugs with a history of over forty years in the market reveals that the C-4 position is the least altered part of this privileged ring system. In the present study, we focused on this position and synthesized two novel compounds (DB1 and DB2) by carrying out chemical modifications on suitable positions of the main scaffold of DA1 (isobutyl 4-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2,6,6-trimethyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinoline-3-carboxylate) that was previously identified as a DHP-based effective and selective inhibitor of T-type (Cav3.2) over L-type (Cav1.2) calcium channel. Based on whole-cell patch-clamp analysis on Cav1.2 and Cav3.2, DB1 with bromine group on the benzodioxole ring appeared to be a more effective and selective inhibitor of Cav3.2 compared to DB2 with nitro at the same locus. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate the binding mode of both DB1 isomers to Cav3.2. Furthermore, density functional theory (DFT) methods were employed to obtain information regarding the stability of the molecules by computing various parameters, such as electric dipole moment, band gap, electronegativity, and global chemical hardness-softness, related to their charge-transfer characteristics. According to DFT studies, DB1 also appeared to be chemically more stable than DB2. Finally, ionizing radiation-induced free radicals of gamma-irradiated DB1 and DB2 in powder form were examined utilizing the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique and the obtained data demonstrated that radiation sterilization is suitable for the dosage forms including DB1 and DB2. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.Öğe E-learning in mathematics education: A bibliometric analysis(2012-2022)(Anadolu Universitesi, 2024) Kaya, Deniz; Kutluca, TamerThis study aims to create a comprehensive bibliometric map of published scientific articles on e-learning in mathematics education (ME).

Satellite derived data could provide information on the amount of sea life present (Brown algae, called kelp, proliferate, supporting new species of sea life, including otters, fish, and various invertebrates) in a given area throughout the world. SST from AVHRR from 1993 to 2008 showed seasonal, annual and interannual variability of temperature, monthly variability Chi from SeaWiFS from 1997 to 2009 has also been investigated. Chi showed two high peaks for the year 1999 and 2008. The correlation between SST and Chl for the same time has been found to be 60%. Correlation was significant at p<0.05. The information could also be useful in connection with studies of global changes in temperature and what effect they could have on the total abundance of marine life.Öğe Age-related changes in the expression of ICAM-1 in the aorta of wistar albino rats(Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2016) Ketani, Sennur; Karakoç, Zelal; Ketani, M. Aydın; Kılınç, MehmetICAM-1 which is expressed by endothelial cells and leukocytes are observed as first markers in diseases such as transplant rejection, diabetes and atherosclerosis and in infections caused by various pathogens. In the present study, it is aimed to reveal the age-related changes in the expression of ICAM-1 on rats. Therefore, a total of 30 albino rats were taken at the age of 6, 18 and 24 months without gender discrimination. Rats were fed with standard pellet feed during the study. Afterwards, rats were sacrificed and tissue samples were collected from their rats, and the samples were evaluated under the light microscope by staining with immnunohistochemical method. It was determined that the expression of both aortic endothelial cells and endothelial cells in the media layer had been significantly increased based on the age.Öğe On the decay and blow up of solutions for a quasilinear hyperbolic equations with nonlinear damping and source terms(Springeropen, 2015) Pişkin, ErhanIn this work we investigate the global existence, decay, and blow up of solutions for a quasilinear hyperbolic equation. We prove the decay estimates of the energy function by using Nakao's inequality. Also, we obtain the blow up of solutions and lifespan estimates in three different ranges of the initial energy.Öğe Radiation induced defects in timolol: temperature dependent electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Erdamar, Işık Yeşim DicleIonizing radiation-induced antihypertensive drug timolol in powder form was studied by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique as a function of temperature.

Syntheses, characterizations, cytotoxic, antituberculosis and antimicrobial activities and DNA interactions of spirocyclotetraphosphazenes with bis-ferrocenyl pendant arms(Elsevier Science Sa, 2017) Elmas, Gamze; Okumuş, Aytuğ; Cemaloğlu, Reşit; Kılıç, Zeynel; Çelik, Süheyla Pınar; Açık, Leyla; Tunalı, Beste CağdaşThe reactions of N4P4Cl8 (1), with two equimolar amounts of N-(1-ferrocenylmethyl)-N-methyl-propylenediamine gave the monoferrocenyl-spiro (as a byproduct), bisferrocenyl-2-trans-6-dispiro (2) and bisferrocenyl-2-cis-6-dispiro (3) cyclotetraphosphazenes. The 2-trans-6-dispiro (2) was reacted with excess monoamines to produce the tetraamino products (2a-2d). The one equimolar amount of the diamines and dialkoxides with 2 afforded the mono-diamino (2e and 2f) and mono-dialkoxy (2g and 2h) cyclotetraphosphazenes. Whereas, excess diamines and dialkoxides with 2 produced the bis-diamino (2i and 2j) and bis-dialkoxy (2k and 2l) bisferrocenyl-2-trans-6-dispirocyclotetraphosphazenes. The structures of the compounds were verified by elemental analyses, ESI-MS, FTIR, HSQC, HMBC, H-1, C-13, and P-31 NMR techniques. The molecular structures of 2 and 2b were established by X-ray crystallography. Compounds 2e and 2f have two stereogenic P-atoms. Additionally, the structures of 2i-2l containing tetraspiro rings in the skeletons look similar a propeller. The Fc groups of the cyclotetraphosphazenes were found to be redox active with two-reversible electron oxidations. The antimicrobial activity of the compounds was examined against some bacteria and yeast strains. The interactions of the compounds with DNA revealed that the compounds caused conformational changes even strand break on super-coiled DNA helix. Furthermore, the compounds (except 2, 2a and 2d) inhibited DNA restriction indicating compounds binding to A/A and G/G nucleotides of the DNA. The evaluations of the cytotoxic activity against L929 fibroblast and DLD-1 colon cancer cell lines were carried out. Some of the compounds were evaluated for antituberculosis activity against reference strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, and 2i and 2l displayed antituberculosis activity against H37Rv.

To achieve this goal, the EPR signals of the samples were studied in relation to microwave power, ranging from 0.01 to 50 mW, at room temperature. The investigation revealed that gamma-irradiation induces the formation of -CH2CCH2CH2- (radical I) and -CHN- (radical II) radicals within the 4PCA compound. Hyperfine structure constants and g values were also determined for the radicals. The optimal agreement between experimental and computed results within the dose range of 2-20 kGy was achieved using polynomial and linear functions. Experimental measurements were undertaken under varied temperature conditions (123-323 K) to study the dosimetric features of free radicals generated as a consequence of gamma irradiation. Furthermore, an investigation into the time dependency of signal intensity within the irradiated sample was conducted, with the objective of analyzing the long-term stability characteristics of the free radicals present.Öğe Synthesis, characterization, and application of silver nanoparticle-thiophenol nanocomposite film on the glassy carbon surface(Wiley, 2013) Güzel, Remziye; Ekşi, Haslet; Üstündağ, Zafer; Solak, Ali OsmanIn this study, 4-thiophenol modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared by the reduction of 4-diazothiophenol tetrafluoroborate salt. Silver nanoparticles were attached to the thiophenol modified surface to prepare a thiophenol-silver nanoparticle composite film. 4-Aminothiopenol molecules were deposited by self-assembling technique to form multi-layered nanofilms of TP/SNP/PhNH2 on glassy carbon substrate. These surfaces were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, reflectance-absorption infrared spectroscopy, and ellipsometry at each multilayer film growth process. Atomic force microscopic images of GC/TP/SNP/PhNH2 surfaces were also acquired. The characterization methods show that the amine group containing surface permits the subsequent modification by a variety of coupling reactions for the immobilization of more complex systems. An application of the electrode modification for the determination of uric acid with a significantly lower detection limit is described.
