Electric field measurements of a base station at 2G and 3G frequencies

Abstract: Electromagnetic pollution increases every day. Effects of Non-ionizing radiation are not clear, but hundreds of study show us it is quite dangerous. In this paper we measured electromagnetic radiation of a base station in two directions and compared results. We investigated electromagnetic radiation changes with distance and relation between electromagnetic radiation and mobile phone users.

Investigation of changes in structural properties of polycrystalline ln0.6628Ga0.3372N thin film

Abstract: $${\mathrm{In}}_{0.6628}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{0.3372}\mathrm{N}$$ thin film was coated on GaN/n-Si (100) under various powers. Optical properties, crystal structure, bonding properties, chemical composition, phonon modes, and morphological properties of the thin films were experimentally characterized by UV, XRD, XPS, AFM, and Raman. Crystallite sizes of the thin film for (011) and (110) orientations were ranging from ~ 7 to 12 nm and ~8 to 15 nm with error 0.2 nm, and they had a slightly rising trend with increasing powers. Increasing power gave rise to a decrease in the optical band gap (direct-allowed) (from 2.22 to 2.18 eV) mainly due to the increasing crystallite sizes of the thin film. The refractive index value of the thin film showed an increasing trend with increasing power for many physical models. XPS analyses confirmed that the film had In2O3 bond, InNxOy bond, In-N bond, Ga–N bond, Ga-O bond, Ga metallic with different quantities. Raman results gave characteristic $${A}_{1(LO)}$$ longitudinal optical phonon mode and $${E}_{2(high)}$$ optical phonon mode of InGaN, complied with other results. Basically, changes in some physical properties of thin film under varying power were discussed.

“Well (er) You Know …”: Discourse Markers in Native and Non-native Spoken English

Abstract: The present study focuses on the use of five spoken discourse markers, namely so, like, you know, I mean and well, by Turkish and British university students. Previous research shows that non-native speakers generally differ from native speakers in their use of discourse markers. However, the literature on Turkish EFL learners has been limited, and mostly restricted to planned and monologic speech. This gap was addressed in a quantitative and qualitative analysis of a Turkish learner corpus and the Louvain Corpus of Native English Conversation, both containing informal interviews. The Turkish students significantly underused four out of the five discourse markers examined. They used these items in functions that serve mostly at the textual domain, while the British students made use of a higher proportion of interpersonal and interactional functions. Individual functions of these discourse markers were discussed, and supported with direct quotations from the data.

A Discipline Approach: The Relationship Between Media Literacy And Social Studies

Abstract: Social studies is one of the most related fields of media literacy, such as health, language, information, and communication program. Contrary to popular belief, media literacy is not the use of media tools such as newspaper in the social studies courses. Students must have the ability to choose the right one among myriad of information, to understand visual images, to reach reality through eliminating stereotypes and prejudices, questioning the construction and context of a text. In this way, media literacy and social studies aim the formation of good, questioning, and active citizens. In this chapter, the relationship between media literacy education and social studies is examined based upon previous researches. The importance of media literacy for teaching social studies is discussed and concrete sample activities that can be used by teachers and students in social studies lessons are presented In this way it is aimed to make a synthesis by associating social studies with media literacy skills that is access, analyze, evaluation, create, and act.

Biological Network Analyses of WRKY Transcription Factor Family in Soybean ( Glycine max ) under Low Phosphorus Treatment

Abstract: WRKY transcription factor (TF) is plant specific genes and play essential roles involved in biotic and abiotic stress tolerance. Gene co-expression network (GCN) analysis is effective tool for the interpretation of transcriptomic data. In this study, a co-expression network of 152 WRKY genes using publicly available microarray data (GSE78242) was constructed under low phosphate (Pi) treatment in soybean (Glycine max). A total of 149 nodes and 641 edges were obtained from CGN and seven seed genes were identified. Particularly, Glyma.19G094100 and Glyma.16G054400 seed genes (orthologue to Arabidopsis WRKY75) were found to have a direct connection to P deficiency. Promotor analyses of seed genes revealed the variations in the number of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) ranging from 80 to 137 with a total of 835 CREs. The methylation profile of Glyma.04G218700 (orthologue to Arabidopsis WRKY51) was found higher than other seed genes. As a result, our findings can be used as a scientific basis to cope with P deficiency in soybean as well as abiotic stress tolerance. In addition, these findings of this study may prove the crop improvement studies in future, especially genetically engineered soybean plants.
