Amaç: Tüberküloz, tek bir bulaşıcı ajanın neden olduğu ölüm nedenlerinde ilk sırada gelen hastalıktır. Çalışmamızın amacı, verem savaş dispanseri kayıtlarını retrospektif olarak inceleyerek, Mycobacterium tuberculosis komplekste antitüberküloz ilaçlara karşı gelişen direnci belirlemek ve böylece konu hakkında her düzeyde yapılacak çalışmalara kaynak olabilecek verileri sunmaktır.Materyal Metot:...

The epichloae (Epichloë and Neotyphodium species), a monophyletic group of fungi in the family Clavicipitaceae, are systemic symbionts of cool-season grasses (Poaceae subfamily Poöideae). Most epichloae are vertically transmitted in seeds (endophytes), and most produce alkaloids that attack nervous systems of potential herbivores. These protective metabolites include ergot alkaloids and indole-...

In a peer-to-peer (P2P) video streaming system, peers not only consume video, but also route it to other peers in the system, where ordinary peers are assumed to have sufficient downlink speed and media capability. This assumption often fails when the P2P system consists of peers that are heterogeneous in their computing power, hardware, and media capability. In this paper, we address a problem...

Adjoint-state methods (ASMs) have proven successful for calculating the gradients of the functionals commonly found in geophysical inverse problems. The 3D ASM imagedomain tomography (IDT) formulation of the seismic velocity estimation problem highlights imperfections in migrated image volumes and, using appropriate penalty functions (e.g., differential semblance), forms an objective function t...

A rapid particle concentration method in a sessile droplet has been developed using asymmetric surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagation on a substrate upon which the droplet is placed. The SAW device consisted of a 0.75-mm thick, 127.68 YXaxis-rotated cut LiNbO3 as a substrate. An interdigital transducer electrode (IDT) with 25 straight finger pairs in a simple repeating pattern, 12 mm aperture,...

We present a system for covert automated deception detection using information available in a video. We study the importance of different modalities like vision, audio and text for this task. On the vision side, our system uses classifiers trained on low level video features which predict human microexpressions. We show that predictions of high-level microexpressions can be used as features for...

Streaming video to mobile users is rapidly emerging as a crucial multimedia service. One of the stumbling blocks in mobile streaming is the heterogeneity found in mobile devices: diverse display size, computing power, memory, and media capabilities. Given this heterogeneity, video transcoding is often required to satisfy the requirements of different mobile users. In this paper, we propose a pe...
