39 spatial arrangement of the animal male germ cell genome: II. 2d-3d Simulation and visualization of spatial configuration of major chromosome 2 in Drosophila sperm
(İstanbul Kültür Üniversitesi, 2007-09) Alexandrov, Igor D.; Stepanenko, Victor A.; Alexandrova, Margarita V.
Data on the non-random distribution of radiationinduced inversion breakpoints were used as genetic markers for 2D and 3D modeling of the largescale architecture of the chromosome 2 in Drosophila sperm genome at the time of irradiation. During modeling, Gmax program with application of splines, the additional objects and operations as well as the methods of visualization of macromolecular biostructures were employed. A specific megarosette-loop model of spatial arrangement of chromatin fiber in the haploid sperm nucleus can account well for the experimental data.

A Cinematic Narration Of The Great Depression: Recalling John Ford’s The Grapes Of Wrath
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2014-01) Yılmazok, Levent; TR42255
John Steinbeck’s novel The Grapes of Wrath, published in 1939, depicts the poverty of 1930s America during the “Great Depression” through the tragedy of the Joad family, who lost their home and land in Oklahoma and have to drive to California in the hope of finding employment and plenty like many other farmers. The novel was adapted for the cinema the same year and directed by John Ford. Proving welcome in cinema circles and taking its place as a master work in film history, it was one of the few films with radical political connotations hitherto produced by Hollywood. Nevertheless, this cinematic version of the Great Depression narrative has not escaped criticisms, which have been aimed chiefly at aspects of its content that diverge from its parent work. Compared with the novel, the film has been considered more conservative and optimistic, on the grounds that, although the novel emphasizes the class conflict and portrays the Joads as only one of the many suffering families, the film exerts a redundant focus on the family and commends family values: divergences considered to be supported by the visual style of the film. In this article, while recalling Ford’s The Grapes of Wrath, I revisit the above-mentioned criticisms and reassess them in relation to the parenting novel. In doing so, this article also aims to evoke the ongoing economic recession that influences the masses all over the world and the recurrent, unchanging and inevitable outcomes that such crises of capitalism bring for its victims.

A General Outlook of Conjugal Union And Marriege In Turkey In The Context Of Popular Culture New Media
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2011-07) Yıldız, Öykü Ezgi; Denençli, Ceyda; Deneçli, Sevda; TR40329
In our time, in which social lifeturnes spiritual values into a market, local standards of judgement, human relations and conjugal union has been influenced by this change, also. In our time, conjugal union, which is still seen as a taboo in Turkish society, has become a market with the influence of popular culture. Conjugal union, which has the characteristics of a social institution in our ime, benefits from the opportunities of technology in direct proportion to globalization and new technological developments, while trying to preserve its traditional features at the same time. In this transformation process, various media organs, socialization agents on media tools such as marriage websites play a significant role. In this study, the process of how conjugal union, which is shaped by the direct influence of popular culture, goes through a change in the direction of global market mentality will be discussed and a research will be made on the basis of social media agents.

A New Film Language: “Amateur Video”
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2012-04) Künüçen, Hale; Olguntürk, Kağan; TR3486; TR161573
Film making has been a very expensive hobby for ameteurs from the day it was discovered. Also it has not been taken as a professional tool for years. Especially after Griffth’s approaches on camera movements, camera angles, framing techniques such as medium shot or close-up. The quality level of filmmaking between amateurs and professionals has been highly spread. Today, by the help of new technologies these two fields got closer. Now we can make near-professional films by using amateur equipments; we can edit them at our home computer, we can even prepare some music at home by using the help of some softwares. Also we can freely share it by using websites such as Youtube, Vimeo or some others. So for amateurs its not only easy and cheap to produce a film but also it is easy and cheap to distribute it. The number of amateur movies produced today are much more then professional movies. The enormous number of amateur productions also affected the audience and created “a new way” of story telling like shaked camera movements, deficient lighting, grainy look. This way of story telling first was discomforting and disorienting for the audience, but later they got used to it. This also affected the professionals: lots of production firms started to make professional films which used ‘amateur way’ of story telling. This study intends to discuss this new way of telling a story and implications associated with this new approach. The discussion will focus on three selected professional films using this new approach, namely “District 9” (2009), “Cloverfield” (2008) and “Paranormal Activity” (2007). These films use jump-cuts, deficient lighting and grainy pictures, contrasting strongly with traditional way of story telling. Thus, the study will explore the important points of using editing applications, lighting, image composition and camera movements with their relationship to the existing cinematography, trying to find an explanation to this new perception of reality in digitalization.

A Night Watchman's Journey: Thoughts On 50 Years of Observing
(İstanbul Kültür Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2005-07) Levy, David H.
Kuyruklu yıldızlar hakkında bir araştırmaya başlamak istediğime karar verdiğimde, 1965 Ekim ayında Fransızca sözlü sınavı için okuduğum liseye doğru yoldaydım. O yıl 17 Aralık’da araştırmaya başlamış olsam da ilk kuyruklu yıldızımı keşfetmem 1984’den önce değildi. (19 yıl veya gözmerceğinde 917 yıl sonra). 21 yıl sonra hala kuyruklu yıldızların kataloğlanacak hedefler olmaktan daha fazlası olduğunu düşünüyorum. Bir eş zamanlı keşife teşekkür ediyorum: Shoemaker-Levy 9. Bu gezegendeki yaşamın kaynağı ve evrimi üzerinde kuyruklu yıldız çarpışmalarının oynadığı rol hakkında daha fazla bilgi sahibi olduk. Pan-StARRS’ın gelişimi ile görsel kuyruklu yıldız keşiflerinin geleceği yakında bu önemli çalışma alanının tarihine indirilecektir. Halen görsel olarak ve de otomatik bir CCD programı ile kuyruklu yıldızları araştırmaya devam etmekteyim. Bu çalışma benim gözlem kariyerim ve gece gökyüzü ile ilgili çocukluk hayalimin nasıl gece gökyüzü altında geçirdiğim zamanlara öncüllük ettiği ile ilgilidir.

A Study On The Decorations Of Ilkhani Era: A Case Study Of Dome Of Soltaniyeh
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-07) Sobouti, Hooman; Ghasemi, Ali
The Mongols, in the late sixth and early seventh century AH, invaded their surrounding territories and occupied large parts of the civilized world at that time, constituting the largest contiguous empire in human history in terms of land area. The Mongols' devastating attack on Iran took place in the early seventh century AH and resulted in the loss of many of our cultural heritage. Mongol rule and creation of Ilkhani family in Iran and Central Asia as well as the acceptance of Islam at the end of their rule and also the use of Iranian artists and arts would end in flourishing of architecture and its affiliates. Undoubtedly one of the most important surviving monuments of that period is the Dome of Soltaniyeh decorated by unmatched paintings on plaster, tiling, lattice brickwork, plaster and brick Mogharnas, plasters on fabric and inscriptions embellished with Quranic verses and traditional content. The current study which is a analytical/descriptive study, aimed at investigation of decorations of Ilkhaniera and its unmatched masterpiece of the Dome of Soltaniyieh.

A Theoretical Framework For The Evaluation Of Virtual Reality Technologies Prior To Use: A Biological Evolutionary Approach Based On A Modified Media Naturalness Theory
(The Turkish Online Journal of Design Art and Communication, 2016-04) Yumurtacı, Onur; TR57227
The rapid development of information and communication technologies has opened a whole new realm of applications for these technologies. One such application is the development of virtual reality, which aspires to immerse the user within the system such that they feel more “present” within the portrayed virtual plane of existence than within their true reality. Many studies have developed a variety of approaches and methods on measuring immersion and presence in these systems, yet few have addressed the underlying technology for what it really is – namely communication technology – and evaluated the technology’s potential for immersion and presence before exposing the user to the virtual experience. Part of the issue lies in the difficulty in quantifying arguably subjective experiences such as immersion and presence. This study examines the existing literature on the definition and evaluation of immersion, presence, and virtual reality technologies, and aims to provide a theoretical framework through which virtual reality technology may be evaluated based on the human biological apparatus it appeals to. The framework is constructed on a modified version of the Media Naturalness Theory, which was selected as a basis due to the evolutionary support it provides in explaining our communication preferences. The framework may then be utilized to analyze prospective technologies for their potential to provide immersive experiences and incite presence in the users before any exposure or use has taken place, possibly providing further validity to any findings of post-exposure studies (such as with questionnaires so ubiquitous in the literature of the field).

A Video Projection Mapping Conceptual Design And Application: Yekpare
(The Turkish Online Journal Of Design Art And Communication, 2011-07) Ekim, Berna
Can recent developments in video projection techniques aid us in finding new ways of expressing our creativity and creative audio-visual works on a new surface other than the screen? Video Mapping is one of the newest video projection techniques that are used to turn almost any surface into a dynamic video display. The aim of video mapping is to create a physical illusion of images by combining audio-visual elements. Most of the mapping projects are used in fashion shows, corporate events, concerts and theatrical performances. Lately a new trend of video mapping system is being used on architectural and historical structures, buildings and displayed in public spaces to reach a wider audience. This paper will focus on 3 aspects of video mapping and its application; 1) the technical aspects of video mapping and its tools. 2) the conceptual development of the project YEKPARE and the application of video mapping on Haydarpasa Terminal within the Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture events. 3) the feedback from the audiences who have experienced the performance and the effects of video mapping.

Aluminum toxicity and resistance in higher plants
(İstanbul Kültür Üniversitesi, 2007-03) Vardar, Filiz; Ünal, Meral
Aluminum (Al) is the major element in the soil and exists as a stable complex with oxygen and silicate. When the soil pH is below 5, Al is solubilized in the soil water and absorbed by plant roots. Absorbed Al inhibits root elongation severely within hours. Al toxicity is a very important limitation to worldwide crop production, because 50% of the world’s potentially arable lands are acidic. Thus, many research has been conducted to understand the mechanism of Al toxicity and resistance which is important for stable food production in future. Al resistance can be achieved by mechanisms that facilitate Al exclusion from the root apex and/or by mechanisms that confer the ability of plants to tolerate Al in the plant symplasm. However, despite intense research efforts, there are many aspects of Al toxicity and resistance remain unclear. In this review, Al toxicity and resistance mechanisms are described with the physiological and molecular basis.
