Shallowing-upward meter-scale cycles (parasequences) consisting of megalodont-bearing limestones or clay levels at the bottom and fenestral limestones, breccias, stromatolites or vadose pisoids at the top constitute the basic working units of the Upper Triassic successions in the Central and Western Taurides. These cycles are mainly represented by subtidal through supratidal carbonate facies and known as Lofer cycles in the literature. The presence of breccias, mud cracks, dissolution vugs and vadose pisoids indicates subaerially exposed conditions at the top of the cycles. Shallowing-upward meter-scale cycles are interpreted as 4th and 5th order cycles in this study. Megalodont-bearing limestones of the subtidal zone are characterized by wackestones/packstones with abundant involutinids. However, involutinids are poorly represented in the intertidal-supratidal zone. To determine the relationship between cyclicity and foraminifers, the vertical variation of benthic foraminifer abundance has been analysed in the cycles. This analysis leads us to conclude that the foraminiferal abundance decreases from subtidal through supratidal zone. Furthermore, cluster analysis was performed in order to delineate the relation between the biofacies and foraminiferal associations. Micropaleontological analysis of the uppermost Triassic carbonates reveals the presence of restricted platform foraminiferal associations in the studied successions. Foraminiferal associations discovered in the samples belong to the Upper Norian (Sevatian)-Rhaetian Triasina hantkeni assemblage zone. Detailed examination of peritidal carbonates in the Central and Western Taurides against the studies, which claimed that the Dachstein-type platform carbonates are characterized by the transgressive models, should be explained by regressive models.

Comment on 'Rockfall avalance deposits associated with normal faulting in the NW of the Cankiri basin: implications for the post-collisional tectonic evolution of the Neo-Tethyan suture zone' by G. Seyitoglu, N. Kazanci, L. Karadenizli, S. Sen, B. Varol, and T. Karabiyikoglu Kaymakcı, Nuretdin (Wiley, 2003-04-01) Seyitoglu et al. (2000) described their interpretation, based on a single fault surface and rockfall avalanche deposits previously mapped as a W-vergent thrust klippen above the Neogene successions in the Hancili Basin, that in central Anatolia there was a single extensional basin throughout the Miocene - Early Pliocene. It was later fragmented by a structural high of Neo-Tethyan ophiolitic basement bounded by an E-vergent thrust fault in the east along the western margin of the Cankiri Basin and a west-dip...
Secondary constructions of (non)weakly regular plateaued functions over finite fields Mesnager, Sihem; Özbudak, Ferruh; Sinak, Ahmet (2021-01-01) Plateaued (vectorial) functions over finite fields have diverse applications in symmetric cryptography, coding theory, and sequence theory. Constructing these functions is an attractive research topic in the literature. We can distinguish two kinds of constructions of plateaued functions: secondary constructions and primary constructions. The first method uses already known functions to obtain new functions while the latter do not need to use previously constructed functions to obtain new functions. In this...
Explicit Characterizations for Plateaued-ness of p-ary (Vectorial) Functions CARLET, CLAUDE; MESNAGER, SİHEM; Özbudak, Ferruh; SINAK, AHMET (2017-04-12) Plateaued (vectorial) functions have an important role in the sequence and cryptography frameworks. Given their importance, they have not been studied in detail in general framework. Several researchers found recently results on their characterizations and introduced new tools to understand their structure and to design such functions. In this work, we mainly extend some of the observations made in characteristic 2 and given in (Carlet, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theor. 61(11), 6272- 6289, 2015) to arbitrary characte...
PERIODIC COVARIANCE STATIONARITY OF MULTIVARIATE PERIODIC AUTOREGRESSIVE MOVING AVERAGE PROCESSES ULA, TA (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1990-05-01) Periodic (covariance) Stationarity conditions for multivariate periodic autoregressive moving average (PARMA) processes are investigated. It follows from a previous work that a necessary and sufficient condition for the periodic Stationarity of a multivariate periodic process is the (covariance) Stationarity of the “lumped” vector process which contains the periodic vectors as its elements. It is shown that for univariate and multivariate PARMA processes, even with periodically varying orders, the lumped pr...
Electrochemistry of acetate-, carbonate-, sulfate-, and dihydrogenphosphate-bridged dirhodium(II) complexes Yaman, SO; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; Isci, H (2003-06-01) Complexes, [Rh-2(B-B)(4)L-2](n) (B-B = CH3CO2-, L = CH3CN, H2O, Cl-, Br-, SCN-; B-B CO32-, SO42-, H2PO4-, L = H2O, Cl-, Br-, SCN-) were prepared and their cyclic voltammograms (CV) and electronic absorption spectra were measured in solution. The CV of the complexes exhibits a reversible one-electron transfer from a metal-based orbital. Constant potential electrolysis at the oxidation peak potential of [Rh-2(O2CCH3)(4)(NCCH3)(2)] in acetonitrile yielded [Rh-2(O2CCH3)(4)(NCCH3)(2)](+), a mixed valent Rh(II)-R...
