    Fastener and rail surface defects detection with deep learning techniques

    Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet

    The railways, which are frequently used by countries for both passenger and freight transportation, should be checked periodically. Controls made with classical methods are slow and there are often overlooked faults. This work suggests a novel deep learning-based technique for identifying fastener and railway track surface defects. Within the scope of the proposed method, firstly, the railroad track was observed using an autonomous drone. Shaky images in the recorded video were removed with a video stabilization algorithm. Frames were created and labeled from the video, and rail and fastener regions were detected using the Faster R-CNN deep neural network. Fault detection was performed through ResNet101v2-based classification using different datasets for identifying surface detects in rails and different datasets for the detection of fasteners. The proposed method was experimentally shown to have a 98% accuracy rate for detecting rail surface flaws and a 95% accuracy rate for detecting fastener flaws. A user interface was developed to display the identified faulty images on computers, tablets, and mobile phones via a mobile application. The system, which was previously proposed in a different study, was retrained by going through the video stabilization step, thus improving the fault detection rate, and the method was also included in the user interface module. This study contributes to the processing of ever-increasing video data with deep learning-based methods. It is also anticipated that it will benefit researchers working in the field of railway non-contact fault detection.

    Aslan Korkmaz, Şengül

    The green synthesis method used to synthesize Co3O4-NPs has attracted numerous advantages due to its low cost, less time and energy consume, no need of special instruments for experimental and more eco-friendly with environment. In this study, the Co3O4-NPs were synthesized by green synthesis method to overcome the toxicity of chemical synthesis. And Allium tuncelianum plant which is an endemic species in Tunceli was used as a reducing agent and Co(NO3)2.6H2O as a source of cobalt. The synthesized Co3O4-NPs were characterized by using FTIR, XRD, SEM and HR-TEM techniques. The XRD pattern was shown that the Co-NPs were face-centered cubic (fcc) of crystalline nature and the average crystallite size was found nearly 23 nm with a value of COD(R^2): 0.982. The Co3O4-NPs generally had a spherical shape in the SEM images taken at 200 nm. The Co3O4-NPs showed low IC50 value against HeLa cells compare with RPE normal cells.

    Predicting and optimizing maximum flexural strength of planar composite plate shear walls – concrete filled with the application of LR and RSM

    Polat, Erkan; Polat, Elifcan Göçmen

    Traditional theoretical models, while conservative, overlook the complex, nonlinear interactions between material and geometric parameters that influence wall flexural strength. Additionally, the extent to which these models maintain their conservative assumptions across varying parameters remains uncertain. This study aims to develop advanced predictive models for the flexural strength of planar composite plate shear walls—concrete filled (C-PSW/CF) by employing Linear Regression (LR) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Central Composite Design (CCD) was utilized to design numerical experiments to analyze the effects of varying parameters, including steel plate yield strength, concrete compressive strength, wall depth, depth-to-thickness ratio, and reinforcement ratio. A validated complex finite element modeling (FEM) procedure was used to analyze numerical experiments involving varying parameters of the selected variables. Both LR and RSM were applied to the generated dataset to formulate predictive equations for the maximum moment capacity of walls. Interaction plots were developed to reveal the nonlinear relationships between the variables and identify the most effective parameters influencing the wall strength. Comparisons between theoretical predictions, RSM, and LR models revealed that RSM provided the most accurate predictions, closely aligning with FEM results and effectively capturing the nonlinear interactions between wall parameters. The findings of this paper contribute to the development of more practical, accurate and optimized design methods for C-PSW/CF, ultimately improving both structural safety and efficiency.

    The Relationship Between Compassion Fatigue and Professional Self-Concept in Psychiatric Nurses

    Durmaz, Hatice; Karakaş, Sibel Asi; Erçel, Şeyda

    The current study examined the relationship between compassion fatigue and professional self-concept in psychiatric nurses. Participants included 156 nurses working in a mental health and disorders hospital in Turkey. Data were collected via a sociodemographics form, the Compassion Fatigue subscale of the Professional Quality of Life Scale, and Professional Self-Concept Scale. Participants exhibited low levels of compassion fatigue and high levels of professional self-concept. A significant negative relationship was found between participants’ mean compassion fatigue scores and mean professional satisfaction, professional competence, and professional self-concept scores (p < 0.05). Professional satisfaction, professional competence, and professional self-concept decreased with increasing compassion fatigue. Nurses should be provided emotional support through in-service training and effective communication to prevent burnout.

    Maxillary sinus detection on cone beam computed tomography images using ResNet and Swin Transformer-based UNet

    Çelebi, Adalet; Imak, Andaç; Üzen, Hüseyin; Budak, Ümit; Türkoğlu, Muammer; Hanbay, Davut; Şengür, Abdulkadir

    Objectives: This study, which uses artificial intelligence-based methods, aimed to determine the limits of pathologic conditions and infections related to the maxillary sinus in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images to facilitate the work of dentists. Methods: A new UNet architecture based on a state-of-the-art Swin transformer called Res-Swin-UNet was developed to detect the sinus. The encoder part of the proposed network model consists of a pre-trained ResNet architecture, and the decoder part consists of Swin transformer blocks. Swin transformers achieve powerful global context properties with self-attention mechanisms. Because the output of the Swin transformer generates sectorized features, the patch expanding layer was used in this section instead of the traditional upsampling layer. In the last layer of the decoder, sinus diagnosis was conducted through classical convolution and sigmoid function. In experimental works, we used a data set including 298 CBCT images. Results: The Res-Swin-UNet model achieved more success, with a 91.72% F1-score, 99% accuracy, and 84.71% IoU, outperforming the state-of-the-art models. Conclusions: The deep learning-based model proposed in the present study can assist dentists in automatically detecting the boundaries of pathologic conditions and infections within the maxillary sinus based on CBCT images.

    Aydin, Handan; Torgut, Gülben

    In this study, firstly, the copolymer of acrylonitrile (AN) and styrene (St) was synthesized by solution polymerization method using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. The composites of copolymer incorporating lanthanum (III) chloride (3, 6, 9 and 18 wt%), the rare earth element (REE), were prepared and thin films were produced by thermal evaporation method for optical measurement. The samples were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR–FTIR), scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM–EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The glass transition temperature, which is one of the thermal properties of the synthesized copolymers and composites, was examined with a differential thermal analyzer. The changes in the optical properties of the samples produced with LaCl3 dopant were investigated using the UV–VIS spectroscopy. The optical band gaps of the samples were calculated using Tauc equation. As a result of the optical studies, it was observed that there was a change in the conductivity properties of the samples with the addition of LaCl3. The present results showed the advantage of using LaCl3 as a filler to improve the optical properties of poly(AN-co-St) samples.

    Physical and biological characteristics of eco-friendly films added with Cinnamomum zeylanicum extract for packaging materials

    Gürler, Nedim; Ertekin, Özlem

    The effects of Cinnamomum zeylanicum extract (CZE) at different rations (0%, 1%, 3% and 5%) on gelatin (GL)–polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blend films were evaluated in relation to the structural, tensile strength, physical, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of the films in this study. The results showed that water barriers of the film samples decreased, but the UV-blocking property increased and became opaque at the highest GLPVA5 film. The tensile strengths of GLPVA, GLPVA1, GLPVA3 and GLPVA5 films were 1.21, 1.78, 1.62 and 1.95 MPa, respectively. The antimicrobial effect of these films was determined against Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus cereus according to the parallel stick method. Antioxidant properties of cinnamon extract were investigated using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazil (DPPH) methods. The % inhibition of DPPH was found to be 82.00. No antibacterial effect was detected for B.cereus and E. faecalis at 0%, 1%, 3% and 5%. While no activity was observed in 0%, 1% and 3% cinnamon, 7.5 and 3.0 mm zones were detected in S. typhimirium and E. coli, respectively, in 5% cinnamon. The results suggest that the film samples could be used in a potential packaging with antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

    Orhan, İlksen; Koçak, Hatice Serap

    Objective: The nutritional status of seasonal migrant agricultural workers is negatively affected by problems with working conditions, wages, accommodations, and living conditions. This study aimed to investigate the living conditions, dietary habits, and food consumption frequency of seasonal migrant agricultural workers in Turkey. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in July and August 2022 in the neighborhoods of Akçadağ district in Malatya Province, Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of 262 seasonal migrant agricultural workers aged 15 and over who came to the region for the apricot harvest. The data were obtained using the face-to-face interview technique via a two-part questionnaire including questions on socio-demographic characteristics, living conditions, dietary behaviors and food consumption frequency. Results: The mean age of the seasonal migrant agricultural workers was 24.16 ± 0.75, and they worked 12.01 ± 0.10 hours per day on average. It was determined 74.8% of the workers had access to clean water, and 50.4% did not think they had an adequate and balanced diet. It was found only 57.3% of the workers had a normal body mass index, 80.2% never ate fish, 53.8% never ate red meat, and 67.2% never drank milk, while only 34.4% were able to eat seasonal vegetables. Conclusion: The findings of the study show that seasonal migrant agricultural workers in Turkey do not have suitable conditions in terms of food and accommodations, and their working conditions, wages, and health conditions are inadequate. These deficiencies have a negative effect on workers’ quality of life and health status.

    Investigation of in-vitro bioactivity, electrochemical corrosion, wettability and adhesion properties of bioglass-based coatings modified with Y2O3 and Zr on novel β-type Ti-30Zr-5Mo alloys

    Dikici, B.; Say, Y.; Zhao, X.; Niinomi, M.; Szechyńska-Hebda, M.

    In this study, the in-vitro bioactivity, electrochemical corrosion resistance, wettability, and adhesion properties of bioglass-based coatings modified with Y2O3 and ZrO2 on Ti-30Zr-5Mo alloy were investigated. The coatings were prepared using the sol-gel method and applied to the alloy substrates through dip-coating. The surface morphology and elemental composition of the coatings were analyzed using SEM/EDS and XRD techniques. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDS) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed to assess the electrochemical behavior of the coatings under in-vitro conditions. Contact angle measurements were conducted to evaluate the wettability of the surfaces. Adhesion strength was measured using tensile testing in accordance with ISO 13779-2 standards. Bioactivity tests were performed by immersing the samples in simulated body fluid (SBF). The results demonstrate that the addition of Y2O3 and ZrO2 improves adhesion strength and corrosion potential, but introducing localized galvanic effects that increase the corrosion current density. Besides, the coatings maintained their structural integrity after the bioactivity tests, and promoted new apatite formation.

    Effect of Zr content on microstructure and wear behavior of Al-Si-Cu-Ni Mg-Zrx alloy

    Taşgın, Yahya; Gök, Mehmet

    In this study, the effect of zirconium addition (1, 1.5, 2 wt%) on the microstructural morphology and wear behavior of Al-Si-Cu-Ni-Mg alloys, known as light metals in which intermediate phases solidify rapidly at high temperatures, was investigated. The study aimed to obtain a stronger material by modifying the Al81Si12Cu4Ni2Mg alloy. It was observed that the Zr added to the alloy was homogeneously distributed throughout the samples. Aluminum and silicon formed compounds with zirconium (Al3Zr and ZrSi2), leading to the formation of a thinner and stronger structure. With the heat treatment applied to the aluminum alloys, the structure became more ductile. Additionally, as a result of Zr addition, microhardness increased, and wear values improved.

    Effect of pretreatment temperature and time on fat bonding and fat reduction in deep-fried surimi

    Erol, Nida Demirtas; Cakli, Sukran; Szymczak, Mariusz; Shen, Cangliang; Matak, Kristen E.; Jaczynski, Jacek

    Deep frying (DF) is a popular cooking technique resulting in desirable sensory quality. However, DF also results in negative perception related to increased fat uptake and thus poor nutritional quality. In this study, a development of a novel strategy for fat reduction in DF surimi without additives and coatings was attempted. Novel pre-baking and pre-roasting were applied to surimi prior to DF. This novel pre-treatment strategy for DF surimi has not been reported in literature. Total, free, and bonded fat contents and corresponding fat reductions in DF surimi were determined. Cook and moisture losses as well as water holding capacity, expressible moisture, in addition to color and texture were also investigated. Fat uptake during DF of surimi was reduced (P < 0.05) by ≥ 25 % with pre-baking. Pre-baking improved (P < 0.05) or did not (P > 0.05) affect cook and moisture losses, water holding capacity, expressible moisture, color, and texture. However, pre-roasting increased (P < 0.05) fat content and adversely affected most quality parameters. Pre-baking of surimi at lower-temperature (116 °C) for longer-time (12–15 min) followed by DF at lower-temperature (170 °C) for longer-time (4 min) was most optimal for fat reduction, cook and moisture losses, water holding capacity, expressible moisture, color, and texture of surimi.

    A Note on a New Bivariate Copula Defined with a Piecewise Generator Function

    Chesneau, Christophe; Susam, Selim Orhun

    Copulas are essential probability tools for characterizing the joint distribution of random variables. In this article, we contribute to the topic by studying special bivariate copulas. They have the property of being defined with piecewise components and are designed for the analysis of data that have dependence structures with distinct substructures in square zones. The theoretical properties of the copulas are studied, with emphasis on their mathematical validity and some dependence measures. In particular, it is shown that the Kendall tau coefficient has a simple expression that is governed by several parameters, demonstrating the flexibility of the approach. In addition, a real data example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the copulas. Fair comparisons with other standard copulas motivate their use in other practical scenarios.

    Effects of Cr and W in TiMoNb Refractory High Entropy Alloys

    Simsek, Tuncay; Kurtulus, Altug; Avar, Baris; Güler, Seval Hale; Dag, İlker Emin; Chattopadhyay, Arun K.

    This study focuses on synthesizing and characterizing mechanically alloyed refractory high entropy alloys (RHEA) containing TiMoNb, Cr, W, and Cr + W. Analytical techniques including XRD, SEM, EDX, DTA, and TGA were employed to explore the influence of Cr and W on the alloys' structure, morphology, and thermal stability towards oxidation. XRD analysis confirmed the formation of a single-phase bcc solid solution in TiMoNbCr, TiMoNbW, and TiMoNbCrW alloys. Crystallite size decreased as milling progressed, yielding average sizes of approximately 7.2 nm, 7.4 nm, and 9.7 nm, with lattice strains of 1.143%, 1.148%, and 1.15%, respectively. Both experimental and calculated values of lattice parameters converged to around 3.1685 ± 0.002 and 3.1791 ± 0.010 Å for all three alloys. The synergy of Cr and W in TiMoNb was observed for the first time, impacting dislocation density, hardness, and oxidation stability. TiMoNbCrW exhibited reduced dislocation density and the highest hardness (502 HV). TGA indicated enhanced oxidation resistance up to 400 °C for TiMoNbCrW compared to the most vulnerable TiMoNbCr alloy.

    Evaluating the metallographic properties and performance of heat transfer by natural convection of graphene-coated glass used for heating

    Kahraman, Gökhan; Taşgın, Yahya

    In this study, a decorative electric heater was manufactured to reduce carbon emissions related to residential and office heating, and this heater was metallographically evaluated. In addition, the heating performance of the manufactured plate was investigated by examining its heat transfer capacity by natural convection. For this purpose, the surface of the tempered glass plate was coated with graphene by spraying to improve its electrical and heat conduction properties. Copper strips were attached to both sides of the plate to allow for an electric current. The plate was connected to mains electricity, and its change in surface temperature over time was measured. Using the measured temperature values, the heat transfer rate by natural convection on the plate surface was calculated. As a result of the calculations, it was determined that the graphene-coated tempered glass plate reached a heating performance of 40 watts after 2400 s of electrical energy supply. This value can be increased by increasing the heat transfer surface area. This study, taking advantage of the excellent thermophysical properties of graphene, will contribute to other studies conducted in this field.

    Ks estimates using macroscopic capillary length estimated from soil hydraulic shape coefficients and Haverkamp infiltration model

    Yilmaz, Deniz; Sağlam, Mustafa; İç, Serkan; Stewart, Ryan D.; Lassabatere, Laurent

    In this study, we developed a new general approach to estimate the macroscopic capillary length (λc) using different hydraulic function models and related shape parameters, along with the Haverkamp infiltration model constant. We next applied this new approach to the van Genuchten model coupled with a Burdine condition (vGB) to estimate λc. Then, we applied the new λc computation to three different methods for estimating saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), and analyzed two sets of constant infiltration data: 1) an analytically generated Beerkan-type dataset and 2) constant head and Beerkan-type infiltration tests performed at the Ambarköprü Experimental Station of Blacksea Agricultural Research Institute in Samsun, Turkey. Our new approach provided accurate Ks estimates when applied to the analytical Beerkan infiltration data. The highest error was observed for a silt soil, with 30 % error for one formulation versus <15 % for the others. For synthetic coarse-textured soils such loamy sand and sandy loam, the error was <10 %. For the field data and Beerkan-type experiments, the new approach gave consistent estimates of Ks regardless of analytical interpretation. However, ANOVA analysis revealed that Ks varied between different infiltration test types, with constant head infiltrometry with 5 cm of applied water head having greater Ks values than the Beerkan tests (p < 0.05). Estimated Ks values also differed between land use types (p < 0.01), with a maize field having significantly greater Ks compared to a soybean field. Overall, we conclude that the proposed approach represents an efficient and appropriate method for characterizing point-scale saturated hydraulic conductivity, so long as experimental artifacts such as ring insertion deep and preferential flows are considered.

    Synthesis and characterization of MgO-doped PHA bio-composites

    Aydın, Handan

    In this study, a highly useable MgO doped polymer composite of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), which is an alternative to conventional plastics and an environmentally friendly plastic material due to its biodegradability, was investigated. PHA-MgO composites were obtained by stirring in a suitable solution for a long time with the help of a homogenizer. Then, MgO was added and the changes in Poly Hydroxy Alkonate (PHA) polymer composites were investigated according to the changing MgO ratio. Composites were prepared by adding MgO at different ratios of 1 %, 5 %, 10 % and 15 % into PHA. The structural results of the prepared samples were investigated by using XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). In addition, the thermal properties of the composites were investigated by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis). Furthermore, the optical properties of PHA-MgO composites were determined by UV-VIS spectrometry. Finally, since PHA polymer exhibits shape memory properties, the shape memory properties of the composites were also investigated.

    A Study on Comprehensive Production Parameters of Boron Nitride 2D Nanomaterial

    Güler, Seval Hale; Safa, Hasan

    In this study, BNNSs were synthesized via liquid-phase exfoliation method. Hexagonal boron nitride powders were used as the starting material. The production of boron nitride nanosheets was optimized. For this purpose, different sonication parameters and the effects of different solvents have been investigated. Different sonication power and time parameters of the homogenizer (Sonics Vibra-cell VCX, 750 W) used as the sonication parameter have been changed. In this stage, they were subjected to sonication process first for 1-1.5-2 hours at 25% sonication power, 1-1.5-2-4 hours at 50% sonication power, and 1-1.5-2-4-6-8 hours at 75% sonication power. As a result of particle size analysis, time/sonication power parameters were determined as 2 h-75%, 2 h-50%, 4 h-75%, 2 h-50%. The obtained samples were sedimented with centrifuge process, washed with distilled water to remove solvent, and dried. Different solvents were compared in the best power–time relationship. These solvents are dimethylformamide (DMF), isopropyl alcohol, N-methyl pyrrolidone, ethylene glycol. The best results were obtained in DMF. The synthesized BNNS samples were subjected to particle size (Malvern), scanning electron microscope (Zeiss, Gemini Supra 55), transmission electron microscope (Jeol Jem-1011), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (Thermo Scientific Nicolet™ iS™ 5), Raman (WITech alpha 300R), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (Specs-Flex), and x-ray diffraction analysis (PANalytical Empyrean).

    Revisiting the depositional age and provenance characteristics of metasedimentary rocks from the basement units in the Central Pontides (N Turkey): New constraints for tectonic evolution of the southern Black Sea region

    Çimen, Okay; Ali Gücer, Mehmet; Akal, Cüneyt; Cemal Göncüoğlu, Mehmet; Arslan, Mehmet; Simonetti, Antonio; Karaoğlan, Fatih

    The pre-Jurassic tectonic evolution of the Central Pontides in northern Turkey is still poorly understood due to the lack of detailed geochemical and geochronological data from the basement units. Therefore, this study reports for the first time combined whole rock geochemistry, trace element data and U-Pb ages for detrital zircons, and Ar-Ar geochronological data from the metasedimentary rocks of the Devrekani Massif, Geme Complex, and the Serveçay Unit to better understand their provenance, depositional age characteristics, and tectonic evolutions. The detrital zircon U-Pb data of metasedimentary units from the Devrekani Massif, Geme Complex, and the Serveçay Unit yield ca. 191, 185 and 298 Ma maximum depositional ages (youngest age peaks), respectively. The Devrekani Massif is dominated by Permo-Carboniferous-aged detrital zircons (67 %), whereas Neoproterozoic and Devonian-aged detrital zircons are more common in the Geme Complex (47 %) and the Serveçay Unit (53 %). These distinct age distributions clearly indicate that the Devrekani Massif may has been deposited in a dissimilar location compared to the Geme Complex and the Serveçay Unit. Furthermore, in contrast to the Devrekani Massif, the source area of the metasedimentary rocks from the Geme Complex is comparable with that of the Serveçay Unit. Lastly, the obtained detrital zircon U-Pb and mica Ar-Ar ages suggest that the Devrekani Massif and the Geme Complex were deposited and metamorphosed during the Early and Middle Jurassic, respectively. The Serveçay Unit was deposited and metamorphosed in the Permian.
