Rainfall is the most challenging aspect of the hydrological processes to study and model because of the intricacy of atmospheric dynamics. In a country like India, where agriculture is the main source of income, long-term rainfall forecasting is critical. To analyses rainfall data, the location of Surat (Gujarat) was chosen, and using an Artificial Neural Network with various meteorological indices, distinct properties of the hidden neurons in the system were studied. For this analysis, 39 years of data (from 1981 to 2019) were used. The data was utilized for training in 75% of the cases, validation in 15% of the cases, and testing in 15% of the cases. The models were discovered to be capable of accurately predicting rainfall. In this study, it was observed that using Neural Network Tool to implement the algorithm achieved the best results when compared to Neural Fitting Tool i.e., a multilayer algorithm outperforms a single layer algorithm in terms of performance.
Acetaminophen, APAP, (Paracetamol) is a commonly used drug. When APAP is used in large doses, it causes hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity but safe at therapeutic doses. Boron is an element proven by many studies on indispensable effects on human health. In this study, the effects of boric acid on the acute renal toxicity induced by APAP in rats were researched in comparison with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). In the study, 7 groups were formed and 2 g / kg dose of paracetamol per rat was prepared by suspending in 1% Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) solution of phosphate buffer saline (PBS). Boric acid dissolved in saline was administered to experimental animals by gavage at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg. In this study, ER. Stress and apoptosis formed by paracetamol-induced nephrotoxicity were investigated. With this purpose was determined that iNOS, PERK, ATF6, NFkB p53, caspases 3, 12, bcl-2, and bcl-xL gene mRNA expression kidney tissue. Also, the levels of kidney injury molecule – 1 (KIM-1), Cysteine (Cys), and IL-18 levels, which are mentioned today as kidney damage markers, were compared with BUN and creatine levels. The effect of boron on kidney damage was determined by histopathologic. Data were statistically analyzed by using SPSS-20 ANOVA and stated as means and standard deviation. According to the data obtained in our study, we believe that boric acid has a protective effect on the negative effects of paracetamol on the kidney. We believe that our study will provide useful data to the literature on the possibility of a supplement to be used as an active compound in paracetamol for the prophylaxis of boric acid and it can also be converted into a useful product.
Objective: This study was aimed to determine the predictability of bone metastasis with Monocyte/HDL-cholesterol ratio in prostate cancer patients. Methods: A comparison of monocyte/high density lipoprotein in patients with and without prostate cancer was planned. Patients with hematological diseasesand lipid metabolism disorders and those who were using lipid-lowering drugs were excluded from the study. Out of 95 patients, 54.7 % of the patients participating in the study were metastasized, while 45.3 % did not. Inflammatory markers with neutrophile-lymphocyte ratioand platelet-lymphocyte ratiowere found to be high in patients with bone metastasis. Results; Statistically significant difference was found between the patients' presence or absence of metastasis and the neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (t (93) = 2.089; p = 0.040; p <0.05).Another statistically significant difference was observed between the non-metastasized patients and TLR (t (93) = 2.586; p =0.012; p <0.05).Conclusions; In the current study, there was no relationship found between the MHR, GS level and bone metastasis. The relationship between monocyte metastasis and HDL metastasis cancer is controversial in the literature.
OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) systems are the most efficient method of using today's radio frequency spectrum. The system is the simultaneous splitting of a signal into small signals and sending them to the receiver. This is needed in high-capacity data transfer and multi-user systems. In the OFDM method, data transmission with the highest speed and maximum accuracy is required according to the purpose of use. In this case, the modulation type to be selected will directly affect the performance of the OFDM system. In this study, an FDM communication simulation was performed primarily for multiple data transmission over a single line. According to the selection of the carrier frequencies used here, the communication quality was shown and the necessity of OFDM communication was proved. Later, performance comparisons were made by calculating the BER (Bit error rate) value at different SNR (signal to noise ratio) and multipath fading values of the modulations used in the OFDM method. The modulation type that provides the highest accuracy data transmission by changing certain variable values has been determined in the study. As a result of the comparison, the best BER value at 8-way transmission and 0 SNR was found to be 0.28 in the BPSK modulation type. In 8-way transmission and 30 SNR measurements, the lowest BER was 0.016. In all comparisons made in BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM, 32QAM, 64QAM modulation types, the lowest BER values were determined in the BPSK modulation type.
In this study, the effects of grow lamps with 250W, 400W, 600W MH values on barley (H. vulgare L.) and wheat (T. aestivum L.) from different distances of 1 m, 1.5 m, and 2.5 m were examined. Growing took place without daylight, within light magnification rooms with a value of 250W, 400W, 600W MH as the only light source. Plants exposed to light for 13-14 hours daily were harvested after 18 days. After harvest, the amount of electrolyte leakage, chlorophyll and carotenoid, and the number of mineral elements were determined in ICP-OES. When the data obtained were evaluated in the SPSS 22 Statistical Package Program, it was determined that there were statistically significant differences in wheat and barley grown at different distances and different light intensities.
