The aim of this study was to determine the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with different mesh size for silver crucian carp in Eğirdir Lake. In this study, it was investigated that the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with nominal mesh size (stretched) with 32, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 mm and trammel nets with 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150 mm for catching of silver crucian carp.

This paper presents a novel elliptic shape defected ground structure (DGS) for low pass filter (LPF) applications. An equivalent RLC circuit model is presented and its corresponding parameters are also extracted from the measured S-parameters. The filter presents the advantages of compact size, high selectivity; low insertion loss and high out-band suppression from 5.15 GHz to 10 GHz below −31 ...

Ag-Cu alloy catalysts for ethylene epoxidation have been shown to yield higher selectivity towards ethylene oxide compared to pure Ag, the unique catalyst employed in the industrial process. Previous studies showed that under oxidizing conditions Cu forms oxide layers on top of Ag. Using first-principles atomistic simulations based on density functional theory, we investigate the reaction mecha...

The PVC membrane of an ion-selective electrode (ISE) sensitive to dibasic phosphate ions (HPO4-ISE) has not been optimized for maximum selectivity, sensitivity, and useable ISE lifetime and further work was necessary to improve its performance. Two areas of investigation are reported here: include the parameters for the lipophilicity of the plasticizer compound used and the amount of cyclic pol...

Muscarinic M2 receptor antagonists with high subtype selectivity (M2/M1) will decrease the toxicity in central nervous system in treatment of AD. The exploration of quantitative structure-selectivity relationship (QSSR) to muscarinic M2 receptor antagonists will provide design information for drug with fewer side effects. In this paper, CoMFA models of pK(i)(M1), pK(i)(M2) and p[K(i)(M2)/K(i)(M...

Ternary Cu/ZnO/metal oxide catalysts are prepared through the co-precipitation method under strict control of parameters like pH, calcination conditions, and precipitation temperature in a systematic manner. The metal oxides applied in this study consist of Al2O3, ZrO2, La2O3 and Ce2O3. The distinction of this work in comparison with similar research is a comprehensive investigatation of the ca...

BACKGROUND A total of 12 phenylpropanoid amides were subjected to quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis, based on their cytotoxicity, tumor selectivity and anti-HIV activity, in order to investigate on their biological activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cytotoxicity against four human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines and three human oral normal cells was de...

the efficient detection of charged biomolecules by biosensor with appropriate semiconducting nanomaterials and with optimum device geometry has caught tremendous research interest in the present decade. here, the performance of various label-free electronic biosensors to detect bio-molecules is investigated by simulation technique. silicon nanowire sensor, nanosphere sensor and double gate fiel...

In nature, communication sounds among animal species including humans are typical complex sounds that occur in sequence and vary with time in several parameters including amplitude, frequency, duration as well as separation, and order of individual sounds. Among these multiple parameters, sound duration is a simple but important one that contributes to the distinct spectral and temporal attribu...

The orientation selectivity in the firing rate of neurons is one of the most well-known properties of neurons in the primary visual cortex. To understand the dynamical mechanism of the orientation tuning, we introduce a biologically plausible network for a hypercolumn and investigate dynamical responses of its columnar activities. Numerical simulations show that the spike activities between exc...
