    Sub-Linear Oscillations via Nonprincipal Solution
    (Editura Acad Romane, 2018) Ozbekler, Abdullah; Mathematics
    In the paper, we give new oscillation criteria for forced sub-linear differential equations with "oscillatory potentials" under the assumption that corresponding linear homogeneous equation is nonoscillatory.

    An Investigation on the Dna Binding Activities of Melamine, Cyanuric Acid and Uric Acid
    (Editura Acad Romane, 2021) Senol, Ali; Devrim, Alparslan Kadir; Sudagidan, Mert; Ozalp, Veli Cengiz
    Melamine can be added to various foods such as milk, milk powder, baby food, pet, and livestock feed for cheating purposes due to its high nitrogen content. Regarding its usage in food products, there is a need to investigate its possible interactions with DNA. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the interactions of melamine and its metabolized products, cyanuric acid and uric acid with genomic DNA, isolated from eukaryotic (calf thymus) and prokaryotic (Staphylococcus aureus) sources. UV-absorbance spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectrophotometry, and agarose gel electrophoresis techniques were used to evaluate these interactions. The five different concentrations of melamine, cyanuric acid, and uric acid were incubated with fixed DNA concentration and it was determined that the test compounds interacted with the DNA molecules. The data obtained by UV-absorbance and fluorescence spectrophotometry techniques revealed an increase in wave peaks observed with the increasing substance concentration. After the obtained data of the aforementioned techniques were evaluated together, it was concluded that melamine, cyanuric acid, and uric acid bonded to the eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomic DNA materials via groove binding.

    Document Type Definition (dtd) Metrics
    (Editura Acad Romane, 2011) Basci, Dilek; Misra, Sanjay
    In this paper, we present two complexity metrics for the assessment of schema quality written in Document Type Definition (DTD) language. Both "Entropy (E) metric: E(DTD)" and "Distinct Structured Element Repetition Scale (DSERS) metric: DSERS(DTD)" are intended to measure the structural complexity of schemas in DTD language. These metrics exploit a directed graph representation of schema document and consider the complexity of schema due to its similar structured elements and the occurrences of these elements. The empirical and theoretical validations of these metrics prove the robustness of the metrics.

    APPLICATIONS OF THE EXTENDED FRACTIONAL EULER-LAGRANGE EQUATIONS MODEL TO FREELY OSCILLATING DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
    (Editura Acad Romane, 2016) Agila, Adel; Baleanu, Dumitru; Eid, Rajeh; Irfanoglu, Bulent
    The fractional calculus and the calculus of variations are utilized to model and control complex dynamical systems. Those systems are presented more accurately by means of fractional models. In this study, an extended version of the fractional Euler-Lagrange equations is introduced. In these equations the damping force term is extended to be proportional to the fractional derivative of the displacement with variable fractional order. The finite difference methods and the Coimbra fractional derivative are used to approximate the solution of the introduced fractional Euler-Lagrange equations model. The free oscillating single pendulum system is investigated.

    PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF UML ACTIVITY DIAGRAMS FOR THE GENERATION OF TEST CASES
    (Editura Acad Romane, 2012) Fernandez-Sanz, Luis; Misra, Sanjay
    Software testing and debugging represents around one third of total effort in development projects. Different factors which have influence on poor practices of testing have been identified through specific surveys. Amongst several, one of the most important is the lack of efficient methods to exploit development models for generating test cases. This paper presents a new method for automatically generating a complete set of functional test cases from UML activity diagrams complementing specification of use cases. Test cases are prioritized according to software risk information. Results from experiences with more than 70 software professionals/experts validate benefits of the method. Participants also confirm its interest and effectiveness for testing needs of industry.
