Bringing the understanding of evolution to Turkish public: A volunteer organization model for developing countries

Evaluation of the adaptation process of a reintroduced anatolian mouflon (ovis gmelinii anatolica) population through studying its demography and spatial ecology Özüt, Deniz; Kence, Aykut; Department of Biology (2010) In this thesis the demography, home range and habitat selection of a reintroduced population of Anatolian mouflon (Ovis gmelinii anatolica), which had a single remaining population, was studied to evaluate the reintroduction success and determine the conservation management interventions. For this purpose among 104 individuals reintroduced in Sarıyar Wildlife Protection Area (Ankara, Turkey), 40 adults were radio-collared and 28 juvenile were ear-tagged and monitored from 2005 to 2009. The survival of the p...
Evaluation of colloidal platinum on cytotoxicity, oxidative stress and barrier permeability across the gut epithelium Tuncer, Sinem; Colakoglu, Melis; Ulusan, Sinem; Ertaş, Gülay; KARASU, Çimen; Banerjee, Sreeparna (2019-03-01) Colloidal platinum (Pt) is widely consumed due to its health promoting benefits. However, the exact biological effects of these nanoparticles have not been studied in detail, particularly in the gut. In the present study we observed that colloidal Pt was not cytotoxic towards three different epithelial colon cancer cell lines. Co-treatment of the colon cancer cell line Caco-2 with the oxidative stress inducing agent hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and colloidal Pt resulted in a significant decrease in H2O2 induced...
Matching and reconstruction of line features from ultra-high resolution stereo aerial imagery Ok, Ali Özgün; Toprak, Vedat; Soergel, Uwe; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2011) In this study, a new approach for the matching and reconstruction of line features from multispectral stereo aerial images is presented. The advantages of the existing multispectral information in aerial images are fully taken into account all over the steps of pre-processing and edge detection. To accurately describe the straight line segments, a principal component analysis technique is adapted. The initial correspondences between the stereo images are generated using a new pair-wise stereo matching appro...
Biology of stem cells in human umbilical cord stroma: In situ and in vitro surveys Karahuseyinoglu, Sercin; Cinar, Ozgur; Kilic, Emine; Kara, Fadil; Akay, Guvem Gumus; Demiralp, Duygu Ozel; Tukun, Ajlan; Uckan, Duygu; Can, Alp (Wiley, 2007-02-01) Cells in the umbilical cord stroma have gained attention in recent years; however, differentiation to certain lineages in humans has been demonstrated in few studies. Unlike bone marrow MSCs, human umbilical cord stroma cells (HUC-SCs) are far from being well characterized. This study attempts to describe proliferation, structural, and differentiation properties of these cells to account for their exceptional nature in many aspects. Cellular dynamics, cellular structure, and the degree of transformations du...
Investigating the science attitudes of students from low socioeconomic status families: The impact of problem-based learning Secgin, Tuba; Sungur, Semra (Wiley, 2020-09-01) This study aimed to examine the effect of the problem-based learning (PBL) on science attitudes of middle school students from low socio-economic status families. For this purpose, two intact classes of the same teacher were randomly assigned as experimental and control groups. In the unit of genetics, the experimental group was taught by PBL while the control group received traditional instruction. Students' attitudes were measured in terms of adoption of scientific attitudes, enjoyment of science lessons,...
