Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 416s Bacterial Metagenomic Analysis of Herby Cheese (otlu Peynir) Microbiota(Istanbul Univ-cerrahpasa, 2021) Sudağıdan, Mert; Yurt, Mediha Nur Zafer; Taşbaşı, Behiye Büşra; Acar, Elif Esma; Ömeroğlu, Esra Ersoy; Uçak, Samet; Aydın, Ali; 01. Atılım UniversityCheese microbiota may contain various bacterial species due to the use of different types of milk, rennet, and herbs. In this study, the distribution of the dominant bacteria present in the microbiota of herby cheese samples (n = 13) were examined by the next generation sequencing (NGS) technique. DNA was extracted both directly from cheese samples and after pre-enrichment. The metagenomic analysis of the NGS results revealed that Firmicutes were dominant both in DNA directly extracted from herby cheese (KOP), and pre-enriched samples (OP), at the phylum level. At the genus level, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Streptococcus were dominant in the KOP samples, whereas in the OP samples, Enterococcus, Streptococcus, and Bacillus were determined as the dominant bacterial genera. Although Lactococcus raffinolactis and Streptococcus salivarius were dominant in the KOP samples, Enterococcus faecalis and S. salivarius were dominant in the OP samples. The Shannon species diversity index and principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) were used to determine the distribution in KOP and OP samples at the genus level. The PCoA of KOP-10, KOP-11, KOP-2, and KOP-7, KOP-3, and KOP-6 samples showed the wide distribution, whereas KOP-5, KOP-8, KOP-9, and KOP-14 herby cheese samples were closely related. The OP samples, especially OP-7 and OP-14, showed wide distribution in comparison to other OP samples. Finally, the dominant bacterial communities were identified by DNAbased metagenomic analysis, and this is the first report to elucidate the microbiota of herby cheese produced in Turkey using the NGS technique.Article A Comparative Analysis of Skyscraper Design Characteristics in the Middle East, Asia, and North America(Hapres Limited, 2025) Ilgın, H.; Aslantamer, Ö.; 01. Atılım UniversityThe proliferation of skyscrapers in rapidly urbanizing regions necessitates a comparative understanding of architectural and structural design strategies. The Middle East, Asia, and North America have emerged as dominant centers of high-rise development, each influenced by unique environmental, cultural, and economic conditions. This study employs a case study approach, analyzing 133 skyscrapers (≥300 m) using qualitative and quantitative metrics. The analysis focuses on core typology, structural systems, materials, and architectural form, based on data extracted from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) database. Findings reveal regional distinctions: Asian skyscrapers favor tapered and composite designs with outriggered frame systems; Middle Eastern towers emphasize prismatic forms using concrete; and North American high-rises balance setback and prismatic forms with concrete and shear-frame systems. A central core layout dominates all regions, driven by efficiency and safety considerations. These insights offer valuable benchmarks for architects, engineers, and urban planners aiming to optimize skyscraper design in dense urban contexts.

E.; Qasrawi, A. F.; Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering; 15. Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences; 01. Atılım UniversityIn this work, (n)InSe/(p)ZnSe and (n)InSe/(p)ZnSe/(n)InSe heterojunction thin film transistor (TFT) devices are produced by the thermal evaporation technique. They are characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy and optical spectroscopy techniques. While the InSe films are found to be amorphous, the ZnSe and InSe/ZnSe films exhibited polycrystalline nature of crystallization. The optical analysis has shown that these devices exhibit a conduction band offsets of 0.47 and valence band offsets of 0.67 and 0.74 eV, respectively. In addition, while the dielectric spectra of the InSe and ZnSe displayed resonance peaks at 416 and 528 THz, the dielectric spectra of InSe/ZnSe and InSe/ZnSe/InSe layers indicated two additional peaks at 305 and 350 THz, respectively. On the other hand, the optical conductivity analysis and modeling in the light of free carrier absorption theory reflected low values of drift mobilities associated with incident alternating electric fields at terahertz frequencies. The drift mobility of the charge carrier particles at femtoseconds scattering times increased as a result of the ZnSe sandwiching between two InSe layers. The valence band offsets, the dielectric resonance at 305 and 350 THz and the optical conductivity values nominate TFT devices for use in optoelectronics.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 3Achieving Success in Supply Chain Management Software by Agility(Springer Verlag, 2007) Mishra,D.; Mishra,A.; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering; 06.

Ozgur; Zhang, Kechen; Electrical-Electronics Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım UniversityWe present an adaptive stimulus design method for efficiently estimating the parameters of a dynamic recurrent network model with interacting excitatory and inhibitory neuronal populations. Although stimuli that are optimized for model parameter estimation should, in theory, have advantages over nonadaptive random stimuli, in practice it remains unclear in what way and to what extent an optimal design of time-varying stimuli may actually improve parameter estimation for this common type of recurrent network models. Here we specified the time course of each stimulus by a Fourier series whose amplitudes and phases were determined by maximizing a utility function based on the Fisher information matrix. To facilitate the optimization process, we have derived differential equations that govern the time evolution of the gradients of the utility function with respect to the stimulus parameters. The network parameters were estimated by maximum likelihood from the spike train data generated by an inhomogeneous Poisson process from the continuous network state. The adaptive design process was repeated in a closed loop, alternating between optimal stimulus design and parameter estimation from the updated stimulus-response data. Our results confirmed that, compared with random stimuli, optimally designed stimuli elicited responses with significantly better likelihood values for parameter estimation. Furthermore, all individual parameters, including the time constants and the connection weights, were recovered more accurately by the optimal design method. We also examined how the errors of different parameter estimates were correlated, and proposed heuristic formulas to account for the correlation patterns by an approximate parameter-confounding theory. Our results suggest that although adaptive optimal stimulus design incurs considerable computational cost even for the simplest excitatory-inhibitory recurrent network model, it may potentially help save time in experiments by reducing the number of stimuli needed for network parameter estimation.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 16Adopting of Agile Methods in Software Development Organizations: Systematic Mapping(Assoc information Communication Technology Education & Science, 2017) Abdalhamid, Samia; Mishra, Alok; Software Engineering; 06.

Atılım UniversityAnalyzing high-dimensional (HD) data with time-to-event outcomes poses a formidable challenge. The accelerated failure time (AFT) model, an alternative to the Cox proportional hazard model in survival analysis, lacks sufficient R packages for HD time-to-event data under the Bayesian paradigm. To address this gap, we develop the R package afthd. This tool facilitates advanced AFT modeling, offering Bayesian analysis for univariate and multivariable scenarios. This work includes diagnostic plots and an open-source R code for working with HD data, extending the conventional AFT model to the Bayesian framework of log-normal, Weibull, and log-logistic AFT models. The methodology is rigorously validated through simulation techniques, yielding consistent results across parametric AFT models. The application part is also performed on two different real HD liver cancer datasets, which reveals the proposed method's significance by obtaining inferences for survival estimates for the disease. Our developed package afthd is competent in working with HD time-to-event data using the conventional AFT model along with the Bayesian paradigm. Other aspects, like missing values in covariates within HD data and competing risk analysis, are also covered in this article.Conference Object AI Trustworthiness and Student Pilots: Exploring Attitudes, Anxieties, and Adaptation Performance(Elsevier B.V., 2025) Ceken, S.; Yilmaz, A.A.; Acar, A.B.; 01. Atılım UniversityThis research explores the attitudes of student pilots toward artificial intelligence (AI) applications within the aviation sector, with a focus on their adaptation processes and potential challenges. The recent release of the "EASA AI Roadmap 2.0"by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) underscores the growing impact of AI on aviation, driving the emergence of new business models and emphasizing a human-centric approach to AI integration within the aviation industry. This study addresses a significant gap in the literature by examining student pilots' perspectives on AI, specifically focusing on AI trustworthiness, attitudes, anxieties, and adaptation performance. The study utilizes a quantitative research approach, collecting data from 150 student pilots through surveys. Preliminary results from 106 respondents indicate varied attitudes toward AI, with significant implications for AI-supported cockpit assistant systems and the broader aviation industry. The study sample consisted of 106 (Mage = 23.6, SDage= 4.64; 79% male) student pilots from of university pilot training departments and various flight school in Turkey. Collected data were analyzed on SPSS 29. The study revealed that Sociotechnical Blindness AI anxiety is a significant predictor of general attitudes toward AI among student pilots. This finding suggests that higher levels of anxiety related to the perceived complexity and potential unintended consequences of AI are associated with more positive general attitudes toward AI. The findings emphasize the need for a human-centric approach to AI integration, highlighting the importance of trust, transparency, and adaptive training in the successful adoption of AI technologies in aviation. © 2024 The Authors.

Bu yönüyle pervane kavramının incelenmesi, vahdet-i mevcut felsefesi ile semah kavramının bağlantılarının irdelenmesine yardımcı olurken aynı zamanda vahdet-i vücûd felsefesi ile de semâ kavramının bağlantılarının daha detaylı şekilde irdelenmesine olanak sağlayacaktır. Böylelikle pervane kavramının ışığı altında, edebiyat, müzik ve din ekseninde Anadolu insanının kültürel kimliğine, din ve tanrı algısına ilişkin çok değerli bilgilere ulaşmak mümkün olacaktır.Article Citation - Scopus: 30Amine-Functionalized Graphene Nanosheet-Supported Pdauni Alloy Nanoparticles: Efficient Nanocatalyst for Formic Acid Dehydrogenation(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Bulut,A.; Yurderi,M.; Kaya,M.; Aydemir,M.; Baysal,A.; Durap,F.; Zahmakiran,M.; Chemical Engineering; 06. School Of Engineering; 01. Atılım UniversityFormic acid (HCOOH), a major by-product of biomass processing with high energy density, stability and non-toxicity, has a great potential as a safe and a convenient liquid hydrogen (H2) storage material for combustion engines and fuel cell applications. However, high-purity hydrogen release from the catalytic decomposition of aqueous formic acid solution at desirable rates under mild conditions stands as a major challenge that needs to be solved for the practical use of formic acid in on-demand hydrogen generation systems. Described herein is a new nanocatalyst system comprised of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-functionalized graphene nanosheet-supported PdAuNi alloy nanoparticles (PdAuNi/f-GNS), which can reproducibly be prepared by following double solvent method combined with liquid-phase chemical reduction, all at room temperature. PdAuNi/f-GNS selectively catalyzes the decomposition of aqueous formic acid through the dehydrogenation pathway (∼100% H2 selectivity), in the absence of any promoting additives (alkali formates, Brønsted bases, Lewis bases, etc.). PdAuNi/f-GNS nanocatalyst provides CO-free H2 generation with a turnover frequency of 1090 mol H2 mol metal−1 h−1 in the additive-free dehydrogenation of formic acid at almost complete conversion (≥92%) even at room temperature. The catalytic activity provided by PdAuNi/f-GNS nanocatalyst is higher than those obtained with the heterogeneous catalysts reported to date for the additive-free dehydrogenation of formic acid. Moreover, PdAuNi/f-GNS nanoparticles show high durability against sintering, clumping and leaching throughout the catalytic runs, so that the PdAuNi/f-GNS nanocatalyst retains almost its inherent catalytic activity and selectivity at the end of the 10th recycle. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.Article Citation - WoS: 29Amine-Functionalized Graphene Nanosheet-Supported Pdauni Alloy Nanoparticles: Efficient Nanocatalyst for Formic Acid Dehydrogenation(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2018) Bulut, Ahmet; Yurderi, Mehmet; Kaya, Murat; Aydemir, Murat; Baysal, Akin; Durap, Feyyaz; Zahmakiran, Mehmet; Chemical Engineering; 06.

Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences; 03. School of Fine Arts Design & Architecture; 01. Atılım UniversitySignificant changes and transformations took place in the structure of societies and cities with the Industrial Revolution besides technological developments. During this period, industrial cities and industrial societies emerged as a result of the settlements that developed near the mines opened to increase production. A similar process took place in Zonguldak; the coal mines in the region allowed it to be established and developed as a port city in 1849. There are industrial structures and facilities in the city that have remained dysfunctional over time. These industrial values, which gained identity to the city and region where they are located, need to be conserved as a heritage. The aim of the study was to analyze, discuss, and develop recommendations for the current state of this industrial heritage. In this context, first, the industrialization process in the city was examined and the urban effects of the coal industry and its role in the development of other industries were revealed. Then, the status of the industrial heritage and the current ideas and approaches regarding this heritage were determined through different industrial building/facility/campus examples in Zonguldak. At this point, recommendations for conservation and recovery of these values in the city have been made.Article The Analysis of the Silhouette Alteration in Ottoman Women's Dresses (entari) From Classical To Modern Period(Milli Folklor dergisi, 2019) Cegindir, Nese Yasar; Kuru, Songul; Textile and Fashion Design; Textile and Fashion Design; 03. School of Fine Arts Design & Architecture; 01. Atılım UniversityThe main objective of this article is to review the change of silhouette in women's entari varying from classical to modern period in the Ottoman Empire by use of visual sources. The study is deemed important because it maintains preserves and introduces "the change in the regular wear of women of middle and upper socio-culturalleconomic group in the Ottoman Empire" into the national and international literature, contributes to region-scaled cultural heritage and constitutes a scientific source for those who are interested in this subject. Materials of the descriptive study are as follows: printed and on-line documents regarding clothing culture of the Ottoman Empire, especially from the rise of the Empire forward, itineraries of local and foreign voyagers, engravings, miniatures and photos of clothes in the collections of museums. The samples of the study are eight photos chosen on purpose since they reflect the change of clothing silhouette in the best possible way. Visual materials chosen have been converted into graphical silhouette by use of the Macromedia Free Hand MXa programme. Details of each clothing silhouette were analyzed by comparison with preceding one by use of the visual analysis techniques. The change of silhouettes in comparison with preceding one has been examined within the frame of alphabetic that constitutes the fashion literature and silhouettes of women's clothing. Data acquired from each photograph were sorted chronologically and interpreted by combining with alphabetical silhouettes and graphics which were formed alongside clothing silhouette characteristics. Three-step change in women's entari has been observed as a result of the study. H-shaped silhouette of entari, which is simple, plain and without detail and taken over from the Seljug Empire, interacted with the Europe thanks to improvement of cultural relations with the Europe following the transition to the settled life. In this process, thanks to the technics of new cut, merging, forming and fixating the form, entaris fitting the body all the better have turned into X silhouette. As of the Tanzimat Reform Era, fashion concept was adopted and entari of intellectual Ottoman women transformed into S-silhouette which was formed by Western women by use of artificial tools.Article Analyzing Space Efficiency in Japanese Tall Buildings(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Ilgin, Huseyin Emre; Aslantamer, Ozlem Nur; Interior Architecture and Environmental Design; 03. School of Fine Arts Design & Architecture; 01. Atılım UniversitySpace efficiency in Japanese tall buildings holds substantial significance, shaped by financial, societal, and environmental imperatives. Nevertheless, comprehensive studies addressing spatial efficiency in such towers remain scarce. To bridge this gap, this article undertakes a quantitative spatial analysis of 40 Japanese tall buildings through BIM/CAD-based floor plan evaluations and comparison of net-to-gross and core-to-GFA efficiency ratios. Key findings include: (1) mixed-use and office typologies, central cores, and prismatic massing dominate contemporary Japanese high-rise design; (2) composite structures with shear-walled frame systems are prevalent; and (3) the average net-to-gross ratio is 75%, with core areas occupying 23% of total GFA. The efficiency metrics range from 64% to 85% for net-to-gross ratios, and from 13% to 34% for core-to-GFA ratios. This research offers practical insights for stakeholders - especially architects and planners - to support more efficient and sustainable high-rise design strategies in Japan.
