The aim of this study was to determine birth weights, body measurements, and phenotypic correlations in order to characterize the gazelle population raised in Sanliurfa Province, Turkey. For this purpose, body measurements of 93 adult gazelles (54 female, 39 male) and 41 young gazelles (17 female, 24 male) were carried out, and correlations between the measurements were calculated. Additionally, birth weights of 47 newborn gazelle calves (22 female, 25 male) were determined. Mean body weights of adult and young females and males were 13.86 +/- 0.76 kg and 19.39 +/- 0.92 kg (P < 0.001) and 8.83 +/- 0.14 kg and 10.74 +/- 0.17 kg (P < 0.01), respectively. In all groups highly positive correlations between body weight and chest circumference were detected. Birth weights of female and male newborn calves were found to be 1.84 +/- 0.02 kg and 1.95 +/- 0.04 kg, respectively. Differences in birth weights of female and male newborn calves were not statistically significant. The results indicated that the gazelles reared in Turkey were similar to both G. s. subgutturosa and G. s. marica. In order to develop an efficient conservation program, further genetic studies are required for determining the taxonomical status of the gazelle population studied.

Detailed chromosome measurements and karyotype asymmetry of some Vicia (Fabaceae) taxa from Turkey MARTİN, ESRA; Yildiz, Hatice Kubra; KAHRAMAN, AHMET; Binzat, Okan Kaan; EROĞLU, HALİL ERHAN (2018-01-01) This study examined the detailed chromosome measurements and karyotype asymmetries of seven taxa in the genus Vicia. The taxa are V. articulata, V. cassubica, V. villosa subsp. villosa in sect. Cracca, V. noeana var. noeana, V. sativa subsp. sativa, V. peregrina in sect. Vicia and V. caesarea in sect. Ervum. V. cassubica, V. noeana var. noeana, V. sativa subsp. sativa, V. caesarea have 2n = 12 chromosomes. V. articulata, V. villosa subsp. villosa, V. peregrina have 2n = 14 chromosomes in somatic cells. Tota...
Accuracy in body composition assessment with three different methods compared to dexa Düz, Serkan; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2003) The purpose of this study was to investigate differences among the percent body fat (%BF) values of Turkish sedentary male and female university students measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), skinfold (SKF), ultrasound (US) and hand to hand bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Two hundred eight Turkish university students (one hundred four males and one hundred four females) aged between 18 to 26 years old participants participated in this study voluntarily. %BF assessment was performed by...
A mathematical model for human-to-human transmission of COVID-19: A case study for Turkey’s data Cengizci, Süleyman; Cengizci, Aslıhan Dursun; Uğur, Ömür (2021-01-01) In this study, a mathematical model for simulating the human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is presented for Turkey’s data. For this purpose, the total population is classified into eight epidemiological compartments, including the super-spreaders. The local stability and sensitivity analysis in terms of the model parameters are discussed, and the basic reproduction number, R0, is derived. The system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved by using the Galer...
Evaluation of body composition using three different methods compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry Duz, Serkan; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Korkusuz, Feza (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) In this study, we compared the simple methods of skinfolds, ultrasound, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) against the standard of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in the assessment of body fat in normoactive Turkish male and female university students. We wished to develop new regression equations to more accurately predict percent body fat from skinfolds and ultrasound for this group of individuals. One hundred and four male (age 22.22.5 years; height 1.770.06 m; mass 74.910.4 kg) and one h...
Development of synthetic and real-world pose estimation dataset to be used in human tracking system Ersoy, Mustafa; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-4-29) In this study, we propose an extendable, synthetic human pose estimation dataset named “Metupose”. Pose estimation aims to determine the pose of a person by detecting joints in an image or video. Dataset was created in Blender 3D software and with varying human objects and environment. It is also used to enhance the accuracy of pose estimation models in the literature. Metupose dataset contains 178000 images. Images have 1 to 4 people in it, where there is a total of 402000 people exist in these images. Whe...
