    Evolutionary route to diploidy and sex
    (National Academy of Sciences, 2001-11-20) Tüzel, Erkan; Sevim, Volkan; Erzan, Ayşe
    By using a bit-string model of evolution, we find a successful route to diploidy and sex in simple organisms. Allowing the sexually reproducing diploid individuals to also perform mitosis, as they do in a haploid-diploid cycle, leads to the complete takeover of the population by sexual diploids. This mechanism is so robust that even the accidental conversion and pairing of only two diploids give rise to a sexual population.

    Evcil hayvanlar için eylem tanıma ve izleme sistemi
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2018-07-05) Demir, Güneycan; Tüysüz Erman, Ayşegül
    Ülkemizde dünyada olduğu gibi evcil hayvan sahiplenme oranı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Evcil hayvan sahipleri hayvanlarının sağlıklarını takip etmek için çeşitli araçlar ve yöntemler kullanmaktadırlar. Hayvan sağlığının takibi için kullanılan yöntemlerin başında hayvanın hareketlilik seviyesinin gözlemlenmesi gelmektedir. Hareketlik seviyesinde azalma çoğu hayvan hastalığında ilk ve en belirgin semptomlardandır. Bu çalışmada, evcil hayvanların eylemlerinin otomatik olarak tanınması ve takibi için bir Nesnelerin Interneti sistemi geliştirilmiştir. Sistemde evcil hayvanın tasmasına takılan bir sensör düğüm, bu düğümün topladığı verileri bulut mimarisine aktaran bir mobil uygulama ve bulut mimaride verileri otomatik olarak sınıflandıran ve görselleştiren bir yazılım ve arayüz bulunmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler ile evcil hayvanın bir gün içindeki hareketliliği farklı eylem sınıfları (oturma, yürüme, koşma) gösterilerek belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada denek olarak köpek kullanılmıştır.

    Animal sound classification using a convolutional neural network
    (IEEE, 2018-12-06) Şaşmaz, Emre; Tek, Faik Boray
    In this paper, we investigate the problem of animal sound classification using deep learning and propose a system based on convolutional neural network architecture. As the input to the network, sound files were preprocessed to extract Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) using LibROSA library. To train and test the system we have collected 875 animal sound samples from an online sound source site for 10 different animal types. We report classification confusion matrices and the results obtained by different gradient descent optimizers. The best accuracy of 75% was obtained by Nesterov-accelerated Adaptive Moment Estimation (Nadam).

    Effects of laurocerasus officinalis roem (Cherry Laurel) on cognitive function and neurobiochemical pathways in a streptozotocin-induced nontransgenic Alzheimer's disease model
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2026-03-08) Özsoy, Fulya; Yanar, Karolin; Sayılı, Uğurcan; Atukeren, Pınar; Uzun, Hafize
    Background: This study investigated the effects of Laurocerasus officinalis Roem (cherry laurel; CL), a traditionally consumed fruit, on cognitive performance and selected neurobiochemical and metabolic pathways in a nontransgenic streptozotocin (STZ)-induced Alzheimer’s disease (i.c.v. STZ) model and an STZ-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM; i.p. STZ) model. Method: Fifty-seven adult male Sprague–Dawley rats were allocated to control, T2DM, and Alzheimer (ALZ) model groups, with subgroup interventions including CL supplementation and, in the T2DM model, metformin as a comparator. Spatial learning and memory were assessed using the Morris Water Maze. Serum and brain tissue levels of GSK3-β, glutathione (GSH), interleukin-1 (IL-1), GLUT4, GLP-1, β-amyloid (Aβ), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were quantified. Results: Serum GSK3-β levels did not differ significantly between groups, whereas brain tissue GSK3-β showed significant between-group differences. CL increased GSH levels in both models, with significant elevations in serum and brain tissue GSH in the ALZ model following CL administration; in the T2DM model, GSH increased after both CL and metformin. In the ALZ model, CL was associated with decreased serum Aβ and AChE levels and improved Morris Water Maze performance, reflected by reduced escape latencies. Conclusions: CL supplementation was associated with antioxidant enhancement and modulation of amyloid- and cholinergic-related measures, alongside improved spatial learning performance in the STZ-induced nontransgenic ALZ model. In addition, CL reduced blood glucose in the T2DM model. Given the likely contribution of fruit phytochemicals (including total phenolics), further studies are warranted to better define the bioactive composition and mechanisms underlying these effects.
