Dual purpose wheat is promising approach for ensuring food security and fodder availability under irrigated tracts. However, crop and nutrient management is important for successful crop production. Therefore to assess quantify the dosage and accurate time of application for improved growth traits under varied cutting height for dual purpose wheat is needed. This study investigated nitrogen levels (120,140 and 160 kg-ha-1), application times two splits (sowing and cutting stage) and three splits (sowing, cutting and 15 days after cutting) under cutting heights (no cut, cut at 0 cm, 7 cm and 10 cm height from ground on growth and yield of wheat. N at 160 kg ha-1 resulted in a two fold increase in wheat fresh and dry forage yield, 9% in spikes m-2, 35% in leaf area tiller-1, 23% in LAI, 7% in biological and 8% in grain yields and 13% in 1000 grain weight over 120 kg N ha-1, although grain yield and harvest index was statistically at par with 140 kg N ha-1. Cutting treatment significantly reduced plant growth and yield traits however the reduction was less when cutting was imposed 10 cm followed by 7 cm above ground surface as compared with ground level. Although, the fresh and dry fodder yield was 35% and 50% higher for cutting at ground level compare with cutting at 10 cm above soil surface, respectively. Conclusively, N at 160 kg ha-1 both in two or three splits had higher wheat fodder and grain yield due to improved plant growth. Cutting imposition 10 cm and 7 cm above ground surface reduced grain yield by 3% and 6%, respectively, over no-cut compared to 12% with cutting at ground level. Wheat cutting prior to node initiation stage at a height of 10 cm and 7 cm is profitable under dual purpose wheat system.

In this paper, new heat-treatment operations, for manufacture of alloy-steel locking block, is designed. Temperatures and time-duration parameters of the operations designed and their relationship to their mechanical properties are defined. AISI 4340 steels heat-treated. Tensile test charpy notched-impact and hardness testing were used to fully characterize material properties. As a result, required mechanical properties were successfully achieved in the heat-treated locking block. It was concluded that the optimum heat treatment parameters for AISI 4340 steel is oil quenching and tempering at 450°C.

ABSTRACT\nPurpose: According to World Health Organization data, an average of one million\npeople commit suicide per year. . In the last 10 years, 25 thousand people committed suicide\nin Turkey. In this study we discuss suicide deaths in Aydın province and to compare them\nwith other studies conducted in Turkey and worldwide.\nMethods: In this study, it was practiced upon the deceased examination and autopsy\nreports of the years 2001-2012 retrospectively by Adnan Menderes University Department of\nForensic Medicine. Totally 333 cases were analysed regarding their ages, genders, residences,\nplace of suicide, possible reasons leading to suicide and death years.\nResults: It was determined that 266 of the 333 cases were men (79,9 %), 67 were\nwomen (20,1 %) and the rate of the homoerotic was 3,9%. 216 of the cases (64,9 %) used\nhanging, 75 (22,5 %) using firearm, 27 (8,1 %) poisoning oneself, 8 (2,4 %) jump off methods\nwhen committing suicide. Among the reasons leading to suicide, psychiatric diseases were\ndetermined in 57 (17,1 %) of the cases, economic trouble in 34 (10,2 %), problems in family\nin 23 (6,9 %).\nConclusions:. Suicide is an important public health problem for Turkey and for the\nworld. It is necessary to develop strategies for public health intended to prevent and\ndetermine risk factors by performing studies with detection and experimental models\nthroughout the country.

This study was to investigate the effect of various ionic strengths and protein concentrations on the formation of rice bran globulin (RBG) fibrils at pH 2.0 and 90 °C for 2 h. The kinetics of fibrils assembly greatly increased with increasing NaCl concentration. At electrostatic screening, zeta potential gradually decreased, and while particle sizes increased significantly. The initial structure of aggregates played a vital role in structural type of formed gels. The elastic modulus G\' versus strain amplitude for the gels, the critical protein concentration (Cpc) formed RBG gels, which decreased from 16 wt % to 8 wt% with NaCl concentration increased from 0 mM to 200 mM.

The most important issue that must be solved in designing a routing algorithm for Wireless Ad-hoc Sensor Network is to save sensor node energy while meeting the needs of applications/users as the sensor nodes have limited resources in terms of memory, energy, bandwidth and computational resources. Wireless Ad-hoc sensor networks are particularly vulnerable to resource constraint problem. The most difficult resource constraint is power consumption. The power consumption leads to energy depletion of the sensor nodes. This paper handles resource depletion attacks at the routing protocol layer, which permanently disables network by quickly draining node’s battery power. In this, the Malicious node composes packets which purposely introduce routing loops and constructs artificially long routes to compromise the packet integrity in order to deplete the energy of sensor nodes which are devastating, difficult to detect, and are easy to carry out using as few as one malicious insider sending only protocol-compliant messages. This paper develops M-DSDV routing protocol to mitigate these attacks and bound the damage caused by these attacks during the packet forwarding phase.

Drowsiness in driver is primarily caused by lack of sleep. However, it can also be induced by extended time on task, obstructive sleep apnoea and narcolepsy. “Drowsy drivers normally do not ‘drop off’ straight away. As a substitute, there is a preceding period of quantifiable performance decrement with associated psycho- physiological signs.” In this paper, we discuss a method for detecting driver’s drowsiness and subsequently alerting them. The aim is to reduce the number of accidents due to drivers fatigue and hence increase the transportation safety. Many special body and face gestures are used as sign of driver fatigue, including yawning, eye tiredness and eye movement, which indicate that the driver is no longer in a proper driving condition.

In this study, the 2-phased Analytic Hierarchy Process Method is utilized for determining the nursery ground establishment location. Within this context, the main establishment location determination criteria have been determined via survey method. In this phase, we examined 12 criteria affecting the determination of nursery ground location through the survey implemented on randomly-chosen public and private nursery gardens having the capacity higher than 5,000 forest trees or ornamental plants. According to that, all of the private and public sector gardens located in Eski?ehir, Bursa, Yalova, Ankara, ?stanbul, ?zmit, Bolu, Zonguldak, Bart?n, Karabük, Kastamonu and ?zmir have been evaluated from the aspect of establishment location criteria. Within this context, the questionnaire study has been executed in 86 nursery gardens for 2 years. As a result of executed assessments, it has been found that the first 2 places belong to Yalova and Eski?ehir in terms of criteria such as marketing opportunities, transportation, proximity to seed resources, labor, equipment and device status, promotions, and soil and climate conditions. The historical background of arboriculture in both of our cities, the actual marketing and utilization rates in Turkey corroborate the significance of the results obtained in our study. The places of those 2 cities in first 2 ranks are significantly reinforced by closer proximity to motorway and railway transportation opportunities.

Abstract\nThis paper examines causal relationships between Health expenditure and GDP for Iran using annual data over the period 1970-2008. The Gregory-Hansen (1996) cointegration technique, allowing for the presence of potential\nstructural breaks in data, is applied to empirically examine the long-run co-movement between health spending and\noutput. The results suggest that there is a long-run relationship between these variables and the income elasticity for health care spending is greater than one during the period after Islamic Revolution (1979-2008). The Granger Causality test indicates a strong unidirectional effect from GDP to health expenditure, although providing no support to the view that health expenditure promotes long-term economic growth. The evidence for Iran clearly supports the\n‘Income View’ over the ‘Health View’.
