ON APPROXIMATION PROPERTIES OF STANCU VARIANT λ-SZÁSZ-MIRAKJAN-DURRMEYER OPERATORS

Aslan, Resat,Rathour, Laxmi The Kangwon-Kyungki Mathematical Society 2022 한국수학논문집 Vol.30 No.3

In the present paper, we aim to obtain several approximation properties of Stancu form Szász-Mirakjan-Durrmeyer operators based on Bézier basis functions with shape parameter λ ∈ [-1, 1]. We estimate some auxiliary results such as moments and central moments. Then, we obtain the order of convergence in terms of the Lipschitz-type class functions and Peetre's K-functional. Further, we prove weighted approximation theorem and also Voronovskaya-type asymptotic theorem. Finally, to see the accuracy and effectiveness of discussed operators, we present comparison of the convergence of constructed operators to certain functions with some graphical illustrations under certain parameters.

Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Validation, and Reliability Testing of the Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire in Persian Population with Low Back Pain

Aslan Baradaran,Mohammad H. Ebrahimzadeh,Ali Birjandinejad,Amir Reza Kachooei 대한척추외과학회 2016 Asian Spine Journal Vol.10 No.2

Study Design: Prospective study. Purpose: We aimed to validate the Persian version of the modified Oswestry disability questionnaire (MODQ) in patients with low back pain. Overview of Literature: Modified Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire is a well-known condition-specific outcome measure that helps quantify disability in patients with lumbar syndromes. Methods: To test the validity in a pilot study, the Persian MODQ was administered to 25 individuals with low back pain. We then enrolled 200 consecutive patients with low back pain to fill the Persian MODQ as well as the short form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Convergent validity of the MODQ was tested using the Spearman’s correlation coefficient between the MODQ and SF-36 subscales. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach’s α coefficient were measured to test the reliability between test and retest and internal consistency of all items, respectively. Results: ICC for individual items ranged from 0.43 to 0.80 showing good reliability and reproducibility of each individual item. Cronbach’s α coefficient was 0.69 showing good internal consistency across all 10 items of the Persian MODQ. Total MODQ score showed moderate to strong correlation with the eight subscales and the two domains of the SF-36. The highest correlation was between the MODQ and the physical functioning subscale of the SF-36 (r =−0.54, p <0.001) and the physical component domain of the SF-36 (r =−0.55, p <0.001) showing that MODQ is measuring what it is supposed to measure in terms of disability and physical function. Conclusions: Persian version of the MODQ is a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of the disability following low back pain.

Simultaneous Degradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Attractive Ligninolytic Enzymes from Phlebia brevispora KUC9045

Aslan Hwanhwi Lee,Hanbyul Lee,Jae-Jin Kim 한국환경생물학회 2016 환경생물 : 환경생물학회지 Vol.34 No.3

The hazards associated with the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to be recalcitrant by their structure, but white rot fungi are capable of degrading recalcitrant organic compounds. Phlebia brevispora KUC9045 isolated from Korea was investigated its efficiency of degradation of four PAHs, such as phenanthrene, anthracne, fluoranthene, and pyrene. And the species secreted extracellular laccase and MnP (Manganese dependent peroxidase) during degradation. P. brevispora KUC9045 demonstrated effective degradation rates of phenanthrene (66.3%), anthracene (67.4%), fluoranthene (61.6%), and pyrene (63.3%), respectively. For enhancement of degradation rates of PAHs by the species, Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) was preferentially supplemented to induce ligninolytic enzymes. The biodegradation rates of the three PAHs including phenanthrene, fluoranthene, and pyrene were improved as higher concentration of Remazol Brilliant Blue R was supplemented. However, anthracene was degraded with the highest rate among four PAHs after two weeks of the incubation without RBBR addition. According to the previous study, RBBR can be clearly decolorized by P. brevispora KUC9045. Hence, the present study demonstrates simultaneous degradation of dye and PAHs by the white rot fungus. And it is considered that the ligninolytic enzymes are closely related with the degradation. In addition, it indicated that dye waste water might be used to induce ligninolytic enzymes for effective degradation of PAHs.

Spatial Variation Ecological Quality Assessment of Live and Dead Molluscan Assemblages in the Aegean Sea

Aslan Herdem,Ovalis Panayotis 한국해양과학기술원 2023 Ocean science journal Vol.58 No.3

For accurate estimation and correct identification of species of EcoQS for macrozoobenthos in MSFD, the distinction between dead and living molluscan specimens is significant. In this study, EcoQS values of Turkish Aegean Sea coasts were calculated separately based on live and dead + live molluscan communities using Shannon–Wiener Indices, Bentix, AMBI, M-AMBI and TUBI biotic indices. A total of 219 mollusks species and 76,170 ind.m−2 were found but only 57 species and 2227 ind. m−2 of them were encountered as live and 2 species (Turbonilla sinuosa and Alvania zaraensis) of dead individuals were identified as new records for the Turkish coasts. Stations with rare live molluscan species numbers have lower ecological qualities than the indices made with dead + live. However, in the presence of opportunistic species among dead + living species, the situation is reversed. In this study, we discuss the results of the aggregation of dead molluscan individuals, and the differences and correlations between the indices according to the different molluscan data sets. Thanks to the aggregation of dead molluscan individuals obtained in the sampling area, information about the anthropogenic disturbances in the recent past can be obtained. While there is a correlation between EcoQS of indices of the dead + live mollusk species, this correlation is not found in only living individuals. Also a similarity was found between M-AMBI and TUBI, which used the Shannon–Wiener index in their calculation.

RESOLVENT DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS FOR MIXED VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES

Muhammad, Aslan-Noor 한국전산응용수학회 2002 The Korean journal of computational & applied math Vol.9 No.1

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a class of resolvent dynamical systems associated with mixed variational inequalities. We study the globally asymptotic stability of the solution of the resolvent dynamical systems for the pseudomonotone operators. We also discuss some special cases, which can be obtained from our main results.

Sinem Aslan Karaoğlu,Beray Gelmez Taş,Dilek Toprak 대한백신학회 2022 Clinical and Experimental Vaccine Research Vol.11 No.2

Purpose: Adult vaccination, which is among the duties of family physicians, is an important issue that reduces morbidity and mortality. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of adults about adult vaccines. Materials and Methods: This study is a descriptive, cross-sectional research; which was performed by a questionnaire including sociodemographic data and questions about adult vaccination to the patients and their relatives who applied to Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital Family Medicine Polyclinics for any reason. Mean, standard deviation and chi-square tests were used for the analysis; p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The study included 182 people, 93 of them were women (51.1%) and 89 (48.9%) were men. The mean age was 32.9±12.8 years; most of them (n=144, 79.1%) were high educated and 38.5% were married. The most known vaccine was tetanus (n=154, 84.6%), the least known was zona vaccine (n=30, 16.5%). Health care professionals and television (n=60, 33%) were the most information sources about vaccines (n=78, 42.9%). Vaccination was mostly (26.9%) recommended by family physicians 144 (79.1%). The students had more knowledge about human papilloma virus (HPV), zoster, and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines (p≤0.05), and mostly the information was got from internet and school (p≤0.05). As education status increased, knowledge about tetanus, hepatitis A, pneumonia, and HPV vaccines increased significantly, whereas only tetanus vaccination was performed in practice (p≤0.05). As the income increased, knowledge about pneumonia and HPV vaccines increased, but vaccination was not performed as expected. Conclusion: Age, occupation, education, and income level are directly related to knowledge and attitudes about adult vaccination. Adult vaccines are still not known and performed enough in Turkey. It is important to encourage and increase the number of trainings via media on this subject.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of lymph node ratio (LNR) in women with 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage IIIC cervical cancer. Methods: In this retrospective dual-institutional study, a total of 185 node-positive cervical cancer patients who had undergone radical hysterectomy with systematic pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy were included. All of the patients received adjuvant chemoradiation after surgery. LNR was defined as the ratio of positive lymph nodes (LNs) to the total number of LNs removed. The patients were categorized into 2 groups according to LNR; LNR <0.05 and LNR ≥0.05. The prognostic value of LNR was evaluated with univariate log-rank tests and multivariate Cox regression models. Results: A total of 138 patients (74.6%) had stage IIIC1 disease and 47 (25.4%) patients had stage IIIC2 disease. With a median follow-up period of 45.5 months (range 3–135 months), the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 62.5% whereas the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 70.4% for the entire study population. The 5-year DFS rates for LNR <0.05 and LNR ≥0.05 were 78.2%, and 48.4%, respectively (p<0.001). Additionally, the 5-year OS rates for LNR <0.05 and LNR ≥0.05 were 80.6%, and 61.2%, respectively (p=0.007). On multivariate analysis, LNR ≥0.05 was associated with a worse DFS (hazard ratio [HR]=2.12; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.15–3.90; p=0.015) and OS (HR=1.95; 95% CI=1.01–3.77; p=0.046) in women with stage IIIC cervical cancer. Conclusions: LNR ≥0.05 seems to be an independent prognostic factor for decreased DFS and OS in stage IIIC cervical carcinoma.

Treatment of Wastewaters with Different Ammonium Concentrations in a Sequencing Batch Reactor by Nitritation and Denitritation Processes

Sukru Aslan 대한환경공학회 2024 대한환경공학회지 Vol.46 No.5

In the treatment of industrial and municipal wastewaters, biological nitrification and denitrification processes have been widely applied methods. However, in recent years, experimental studies have been carried out on nitritation and denitritation processes in order to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment. In this study, the removal of synthetic wastewaters containing ammonium at various concentrations through nitritation and denitritation processes was investigated in a sequence batch reactor (SBR). The SBR was operated at a low dissolved oxygen concentration of 0.7±0.2 mg/L, while the initial pH level and temperature were kept constant at 7.5 and 25 ℃, respectively, which were below the defined optimal level for nitritation. For the initial concentrations of 100, 150, and 200 mg NH₄-N/L, 91, 142, and 180 mg NO<SUB>x</SUB>-N were produced, respectively with the specific nitritation rates of 0.69, 0.95, and 0.81 mg NH₄-N/mg MLVSS.hour. Considering the operating conditions of nitritation, approximately NO₂-N/NO<SUB>x</SUB>-N ratio of 80% could be considered as successful with the combined effect of DO limitation and NH3 inhibition on the nitrite oxidizing bacteria. During the first days of nitritation and denitritation processes, change of nitrogen concentrations was negligible because the adaptation of organisms to the oxic and anoxic conditions. After completing nitritation stage, denitritation was carried out by using methanol as an electron donor for the initial concentrations of 91, 142, and 180 mg/L of NO<SUB>x</SUB>-N in 96, 120 and 264 hours of reaction times, respectively.
