Abstract:

The paper presents applying the edge detection methods on NW Iran. Iran is located in the Alpine Himalayan collision zone and is one of the areas where significant tectonic activities occur between the Caucasus and the Zagros Thrust Zone in the north. The area containing important areas of the Alpine-Himalayan orogenesis zone is controlled by a number of active and inactive faults. In order to determine the boundaries of these structures, the magnetic map of the region was constructed and edge detection methods (analytical signal, total horizontal derivative method and tilt angle derivative) were applied to the potential field data. With the interpretation of the magnetic data, the depth of deep sources caused to regional anomalies was found to be approximately 12.71 km whereas the depth of shallow sources was calculated as 1.25 km.  In addition to these, when taking into consideration geological background of the NW Iran, the main tectonic elements especially located in the eastern part of the study area are in good agreement with the constructed maps.

Abstract:

Lately, an important application for Nanotechnology is renewable energy. Scientists and engineers have discovered that by using this technology efficiency, cost, size, and weight are improved directly, and the environment and green energy are improved indirectly. Benefits such as these make the investment of capital in the research and development of nanotechnology a top priority element, such as in the strategic European plan. An important subfield of nanotechnology related to energy is nanofabrication. Nanofabrication is the process of designing and creating devices on the nanoscale. Creating devices smaller than 100 nanometers opens many doors for the development of new ways to capture, store, and transfer energy. The inherent level of control that nanofabrication could give scientists and engineers would be critical in solving many of the problems the world is facing today with the current generation of energy technologies. Another current problem is the cost of nanofabrication

Abstract:

Rapid technological developments in the world of information have led to a rapid change of hardware and software. Hardware and software, which are inseparable pairs, have not changed at a parallel speed. In the hardware world, a faster development has been observed. But in the software world, they have not developed at the same speed.
Without a software, we know that a piece of hardware cannot sum two numbers. Therefore, the programming language, which is the main factor in the production of software, has a great importance. The most widely used programming languages are C, C ++, Java, C# programming languages.
There are a number of enhancements as well as a lack of script-based programming languages. The obvious features of coding are easy to understand and easy to learn. For the first time, students who will start learning programming languages have great benefits when starting with a language that is easy to learn. Especially Python and Ruby programming languages are simple to learn. However, these languages have quite advanced features.
The aim of this study is to make sure that the reasons that will enable university students to turn to scripting languages in their programming language teaching curriculum. It is to explain the basic features of the Python programming language and to explain that it is easy to learn. Python programming language to explain what can be done with examples.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper will be the presentation of an alternative, a deeper one compared to the popular measure of the standard of living, which is HDI, a measure of the socio-economic development of residents of the European Union. In this article the synthetic index of the socio-economic development of the European Union countries will be presented. It will be calculated through the use of the following determinants: ‘Economy and Finance’, ‘Science and Technology’, ‘Health’, ‘Education’ and ‘Living Condition’. This index of the socio-economic development of residents of the European Union countries will be created as an arithmetic mean of indicators counted for particular determinants. The index, which will be created, is treated as a modified Human Development Index due to the fact that it will be completed with the added information.

Abstract:

It is concerned with the fact that public finance is a rosy politics, a roots in economics, and the other is how the state and the state have taken their decisions; these are the most important elements shaping the macroeconomic status of a sustainable development. For sustainable development, stability in the financial markets and efficiency in management are indispensable, while the assurance element in this activity is emerging as governance. In this context, the focus of this paper will be on the significance of public financial management and governance for sustainable development. the first part of the discussion gives an overview of public financial management and governance. The second section begins by laying out the importance of public financial management and governance in sustainable development. It concludes that the relationship between sustainable financial management and governance is linked to macroeconomic frameworks, public trust, good decision making and efficient resources allocation for sustainable development.

Abstract:

In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of betaine-enriched β-vinasse (Bromass) on body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion rate, carcass yield, litter quality, blood serum Ca, P and cholesterol and broiler performance index. A total of 600 Ross-308 broiler chicks were used in the experiment, and the chickens were divided into the following 4 main groups: Control (0 g/kg Bromass), Group I (5 g/kg Bromass), Group II (30 g/kg Bromass), and Group III (60 g/kg Bromass). Additionally, each of the main groups was divided into 10 subgroups of 15 chickens each. The trial lasted for 42 days. Supplementation with Bromass (5, 30 and 60 g/kg) caused significant (p<0.05) increases in the average body weight, body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion rate, carcass weights and carcass yield. Additionally, bromass supplementation caused more dry litter at a significant level (p<0.01) and significant (p<0.05) decrease in serum cholesterol concentration. The addition of bromass to broiler diets resulted in a significant decrease in feed prices (p≤0.001) and an important increase (p<0.05) in the broiler performance index values. At the end of the study, we concluded that the addition of Bromass as a different protein source, especially at the 30 g/kg level, caused positive effects and bromass makes it possible to produce a more profitable broiler.

Abstract:

The study looks at using different graphics processing Unit (GPU) architectures to analyze variance in hash cracking rate and real world implications of password creation by users. The study has two tests; the first experiment is coded with a benchmark setup where the two GPU Architectures are compared based on their hash cracking rates. The second proves which GPU Architecture performs better based on mean average using t – test of Independent Means. The third shows the implications of the raw results of the first experiment, it puts into practical use of real, randomly sampled hashes collected from a leaked database. Which is then decrypted using “hashcat”. The first experiment’s results are put through ANOVA to see if there is variance between GPU Architecture and Hash Cracking Rate. The Pascal and Maxwell architectures are used as a sample since they represent what a user would typically have in a system. However, the use different GPU Architectures show that there is no variance between the hash-cracking rates after being tested in ANOVA, which showed a P-Value of 0.084 at a significance level of 0.05. The second experiment proves that there is a significant difference between the Maxwell and Pascal Architecture, with Pascal having the higher average. Additionally, the recent GPU Architecture (Pascal) is utilized for its practical application of Hash Cracking Rate in five trials with a preset number of hashes, which proved to be intriguing due to the time taken for the randomly sampled hashes to get decrypted. The findings may be useful in the password creation and security of all individuals that use online services that require password creation.

Abstract:

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from sweet bell pepper seeds was extracted and partially purified through (NH₄)₂SO₄ precipitation, dialysis and gel filtration chromatography. The optimum temperature and pH values were 40 and 30 ˚C, 5.0 and 7.0 for 4-methyl catechol and catechol, respectively. Thermal inactivation of PPO was investigated at 55, 65, 75, 85 ˚C. Kinetic parametres, Km and Vmax were calculated from Lineweaver-Burk graph. The PPO activity was inhibited by SDS, sodyum azide and askorbic acid. The enzymatic properties of PPO in this study may lead to practical application for inhibition of the PPO activity and thus preventing enzymatic browning in the process of picking and storage of pepper seeds.
