    Tribological properties of the multilayer thin films deposited on the free-form shaped Ti13Nb13Zr alloy

    Aslan, Ali Kemal; Bahçe, Erkan

    Surface coating processes are carried out to increase the wear and corrosion resistance of products with free-form surfaces used in the biomedical field. In this study, Ti/TiN/TiC/TiCN/TaN multilayer thin films were deposited on the surface of Ti13Nb13Zr alloy samples with different radii of curvature using the closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering technique. The wear and adhesion properties of thin films were examined with a specially developed wear test setup, in a simulated body fluid environment and an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) counterpart was used. Scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction measurements were used to study the morphology and microstructure of the thin films before and after wear experiments. The delamination amounts of the coatings on the sample surfaces after the wear test were measured and this value was calculated as 8.73%, 12.16%, and 16.89% for the R14, R18, and R22 samples, respectively. As a result of these findings, it was determined that the wear resistance of the coatings decreased as the radius of the curvature increased. The wear amounts of the UHMWPE components are found as 15.45, 6.75, 8.15, 15.45, 6.75, and 8.15 mg for P0, P14, P18, and P22 samples, respectively.

    Leading and lagging role between financial stress and crude oil

    Gençyürek, Ahmet Galip

    Purpose: The crude oil market plays a key role in addressing the issue of energy economics. This paper aims to detect the causality relationship between the crude oil market and economy based on the financial system. Design/methodology/approach: This paper used the static and dynamic Hatemi-J Bootstrap Toda–Yamamoto and Diebold–Yilmaz connectedness index. The Hatemi-J Bootstrap Toda-Yamamoto approach allows researchers to use nonstationary data and that method is robust to nonnormal distribution and heteroscedasticity. The Diebold–Yilmaz connectedness index model provides researchers to detect the power of connectedness besides linkage direction. The analyzed period is the span from January 3, 2005 to October 3, 2022. Findings: The results show bidirectional causality in the full sample but unidirectional causality before and after the 2008 financial crisis. During the 2008 financial crisis period and the COVID-19 period, there was a bidirectional and unidirectional causality, respectively. The connectedness approach indicates that the crude oil market affects financial stress through investors’ risk preferences. Research limitations/implications: The Diebold–Yilmaz spillover index model is based on vector autoregression methods with a stationarity precondition. However, some of the five dimensions that constitute the financial stress index (FSI) are nonstationary in level. Therefore, the authors takes the first difference of the nonstationary data. Practical implications: The linkage between the crude oil market and the FSI provides useful information for investors and policymakers. For instance, this paper indicates that an investor wanted to forecast future value of the crude oil (financial stress) should consider the current and past values of financial stress (crude oil). Moreover, policymaker should consider the crude oil market (FSI) to make a policy proposal for financial system (crude oil market). Originality/value: Recently, indicators of economic activity levels (economic policy uncertainty, implied volatility index) have begun to be considered to analyze the relationship between energy and the economy but very little is known in the literature about the leading and lagging roles of data in subsample periods and the linkage channel. The other originality of this research is using the new econometric approaches.

    Energy-Momentum distributions of cylindrical black hole in rainbow gravity

    Korunur, Murat; Korunur, Sibel

    In this study, the energy-momentum localization problem is addressed within the framework of rainbow gravity. Considering the black string black hole, one of the cylindrical black hole models, energy-momentum distributions are obtained for Einstein, Bergmann-Thomson, and Landau-Liftshitz prescriptions in rainbow gravity. All prescriptions' energy densities are non-zero and depend on the rainbow functions, while the momentum distributions are zero. It has been observed that space-time energy does not depend on the energy of the test particle for some particular choices of rainbow functions. The results obtained for all special cases are given in a table.

    Sustainable use of boron waste and volcanic scoria in slag-based self-compacting alkali-activated mortars: fresh, mechanical and durability properties

    Yön, Merve Şahin; Yön, Burak; Karataş, Mehmet; Benli, Ahmet

    Sustainable self-compacting alkali-activated concrete (SCAAC) manufacturing is an environmentally friendly concrete that has a reduced carbon footprint than ordinary concrete. Alkali-activated binders have been demonstrated in experiments to reduce concrete's energy consumption and carbon emissions by over 50%. This paper focuses on manufacturing boron waste (BW), volcanic scoria (VS) and ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) incorporated binary and ternary blends of self-compacting alkali-activated mortars (SCAAM). The main objective of this study is to investigate the fresh, mechanical, durability and microstructural properties of SCAAM based on binary and ternary mixtures of BW, VS, and GBFS. SCAAM samples were synthesized at 60 °C and 100 °C for 72 h then exposed to ambient cured at 3, 28 and 90 days. The compressive strength, flexural strength, physical, and sorptivity properties of the SCAAM mixtures, as well as flowability, were investigated. The performance of the produced blends at freeze-thaw exposure were also examined. SEM, and EDS was also used to examine the microstructures of the mixtures. The findings showed that 50% GBFS and 50%VS based SCAAM mixture heat cured at 100oC activated with NS/NH ratio of 3.0 produced a compressive strength of 40 MPa at 90 days. The findings indicated that inclusion of BW to the SCAAM mixtures decreased the compressive strength notably regardless of NS/NH ratio and curing temperature. Inclusion of BW also affected the durability performance negatively.

    Ochratoxin a levels in Turkish coffee: a probabilistic health risk assessment via Monte Carlo simulation

    Sevim, Sumeyra; Macit, Arife; Kizil, Mevlude

    Throughout history, Turkish coffee has been the most widely consumed type of coffee in Turkey. Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the amount of ochratoxin A (OTA) present in Turkish coffee and to analyze any potential health hazards. A total of 41 Turkish coffees were collected and analyzed for OTA activity using a competitive enzyme immunoassay (ELISA). Furthermore, dietary exposure and health risk assessments for the Turkish population were calculated based on analytical results and coffee consumption data from the Turkish Nutrition and Health Survey 2019 (TNHS-2019) in three age categories (15–18, 19–64, and 65 + years). Nine of the samples contained more than 2.5 μg/kg OTA, with an average of 5.24 μg/kg. The OTA concentration in 3 samples exceeded the permissible maximum limit (5 μg/kg) established by Turkish legislation, and the mean concentration was 8.41 μg/kg. A margin of exposure (MOE) approach was used for risk characterization, considering both non-neoplastic and neoplastic consequences. There were no concerns about health risks because MOEs were more than 10,000 for all categories. Although the levels of OTA analyzed in Turkish coffee did not pose a risk to individuals in the three age categories, emphasis should be placed on minimizing and controlling OTA concentrations in Turkish coffee. Additionally, it is also necessary to consider other food sources that could contribute to OTA exposure.

    Kilam as theatre music in Kurdish theatre in Turkey

    Çelik, Duygu

    This chapter focuses on the use of "kilams" in Kurdish theatre as theatre music. Kilams are the narratives, expressions, and structures of dengbêjî's, which are traditional one-person oral performances of the Kurds. çelik will look at the dramaturgical contributions of the kilams used in the plays she has selected. She will combine methods of performance analysis with the evaluation of play texts, play recordings, field diary entries and notes, as well as (non-standardised) interviews. In this way, the author aims to understand the concept of "theatre music" via an ethnodramaturgical performance analysis. The concept of ethnodramaturgy refers to the analysis of the political/artistic/anthropological identity that people/society creates via performing arts. The main goal of the proposed notion of ethnodramaturgy is to make the theatre of "the other" visible and analyse the ethnocentric monocultural structure in the field of theatre by deconstructing it. Here, the focus will be on Kurdish theatre and dengbêjî. For this purpose, three Kurdish plays in which kilams were used as theatre music will be discussed and their respective functions on stage analysed.

    Investigation of Sexual Distress in Pregnant Women: A Turkish Multi-center Study

    Koç, Emine; Baltacı, Nazlı; Yüksekol, Özlem Doğan; Gürel, Reyyan; Ulucan, Mihriban

    Introduction: During pregnancy, sexual distress is common, but its prevalence and underlying factors require elucidation. This study was performed to investigate sexual distress in pregnant women. Methods: This research was designed as a descriptive and multi-center study. The study included 2365 pregnant women from 6 geographical regions of Turkey between April 1, 2022, and February 1, 2023. Data was collected using the “Pregnant Information Form” and “Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised (FDS-R).” Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, analysis of variance, and the Pearson correlation test were used for data analysis. Results: Herein, 46.1% of pregnant women experienced sexual distress, and the mean FDS-R score of the study participants was 14.49. Participants who were dissatisfied with their sexual life before and during pregnancy (p < 0.001), those who did not have sexual intercourse during pregnancy (p < 0.001), those who experienced decreased sexual desire during pregnancy (p < 0.001), those who did not receive sexual education during pregnancy (p < 0.001), and those who experienced problems when engaging in sexual intercourse during pregnancy (p < 0.001) experienced more sexual distress. Sexual distress increased when the mean age and the number of pregnancies and children increased, whereas it decreased when the gestational week increased. Conclusions: Approximately half of the pregnant women included in the study experienced sexual distress. The findings highlight the importance of midwives and nurses encouraging pregnant women to discuss their sexuality. Policy implications: The findings of this study show that sexual distress during pregnancy is common and affected by some factors related to personal and sexual life during pregnancy. This result provides evidence of the need to develop culturally appropriate interventions and policies that include sexual partners in the context of improving pregnant women's sexual distress, sexual health, good family relationships and mental health.

    Urban heat island patterns in garden cities: Putrajaya as a case study

    Harun, Zambri; Akkurt, Nevzat; Khor, Yu King; Abbas, Ashraf A; Lotfy, Eslam Reda

    The garden-city model, characterised by sprawling urban expansion and extensive open spaces, features green and water surfaces alongside substantial road networks, large parking lots and unshaded lands. This diverse landscape contributes to uneven air temperature distribution within the city. Our study investigated urban heat island (UHI) patterns in various urban environments within Putrajaya, focusing on rural, business, residential and near-water areas. Atmospheric data were collected over a year. Putrajaya exhibits two distinct UHI patterns: cool-day-hot-night in residential zones and hot-noon-temperate-elsewhere in impermeable areas. Business areas display alternating patterns based on seasonal climatic conditions and anthropogenic factors. The efficacy of artificial water bodies as a UHI countermeasure in garden cities depends on the size of the water body and the nature of the surrounding land cover. Shaded and green areas exhibit UHI intensities limited to 3°C, while impermeable areas, regardless of proximity to water surfaces, experience UHI up to 6°C. Overall, the garden-city model tends to restrict UHI variations within −1 to 3°C compared to −2 to 4°C in nearby Kuala Lumpur.

    The RSM-CCD Optimization of Fenton Process for Industrial Wastewater Treatment and Determination of Treatment Efficiency Using Some Biochemical Responses in Dreissena polymorpha

    Tanyol, Mehtap; Serdar, Osman; Ketenalp, Zozan; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Erguven, Gokhan Onder; Yildirim, Numan

    The study investigated antioxidant biomarkers in Dreissena polymorpha to evaluate the efficiency of Fenton process (FP) in Organized Industrial Zone Wastewater (OIZW) treatment. Antioxidant enzymatic activities, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), non-enzymatic antioxidants (GSH) and the indicator of lipid peroxidation (TBARS) were measured in D. polymorpha in response to treated OIZW by FP. The performance of the FP has been optimized with response surface methodology (RSM). The optimum conditions (reaction time, and H2O2 and Fe2+ concentration) for OIZW by the FP process were determined. The results showed that the highest COD removal efficiency (83.94 %) was obtained when as Fe2+ concentration=402.35 mg/L, H2O2 concentration=4100.30 mg/L, and reaction time=10.10 min (desirability=1.000). SOD and CAT enzyme was decreased in the 1/25 diluted OIZW group compared to control group. CAT and SOD enzyme activities were increased after treatment compared to control groups. No statistically significant changes were observed in GSH levels and GPx activities. TBARS levels were increased 1/25 diluted OIZW exposure groups compared to the control group. TBARS levels were decreased after treatment. The results revealed that antioxidant parameters are useful biomarkers for determining the treatment efficiency of the FP.

    A Method for Designing Substitution Boxes Based on Chaos with High Nonlinearity

    Artuğer, Fırat

    Cryptography aims to design algorithms for the protection of important data transmitted over unsecured networks. These algorithms encrypt the data and render it incomprehensible even if it is captured by enemies. Today’s data encryption standard is the AES algorithm. The most important and nonlinear unit in the AES algorithm is the s-box structure. The S-box provides the mixing process in the algorithm, that is, the confusion. An s-box structure with a high nonlinearity value greatly increases the security against various attacks. Therefore, s-box is of vital importance in an encryption algorithm. When we look at the literature, chaos-based s-box structures are frequently used. However, the nonlinearity value of s-boxes produced with chaos is low. In this article, a new, fast, and very simple method is proposed to increase the nonlinearity value of chaos-based s-box structures. In the proposed method, the nonlinearity value is calculated by changing the places of the elements respectively. When the nonlinearity value increases, the s-box is updated, and the next element is passed. In this way, many iterations are not looked at in vain. This saves a lot of time. As a result of the analysis, it has been proven that the s-box structure obtained by the proposed method is cryptographically strong and has a high nonlinearity value. It is thought that the proposed method will provide many advantages for future cryptography applications.

    Phylogenetic analysis of the endemic Bornmuellera Hausskn. spp. (Brassicaceae) in Türkiye based on nuclear ITS and chloroplast trnL intron, trnL-F, rbcL and trnQ-rps16 DNA sequences

    Okan, Kemalcan; Sevindik, Emre; Paksoy, Mehmet Yavuz

    In this study, phylogenetic analysis of Turkish endemic Bornmuellera (Brassicaceae) species was conducted based on nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS) and chloroplast DNA (trnL intron, trnL-F, rbcL and trnQ-rps16 DNA) sequences. In addition, the relationships between the sequences of some Brassicaceae family species retrieved from NCBI, and Bornmuellera species were documented. All of the plant specimens were collected from different regions of Türkiye, and brought to the laboratory. Total genomic DNA was extracted using the GeneMark kit. After polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses, DNA sequences obtained were then edited using Sequencher 5.4, Bioedit 7.2.3 and FinchTV 1.4.0, and analyzed using MEGA 6.0 software. Maximum likelihood (ML) and bootstrap trees were constructed in order to identify the relationships among Bornmuellera species. In the study, the highest nucleotide diversity was detected by rps16-trnQ (0.039146) sequence analysis, while the lowest was detected by rbcL (0.004186) sequence analysis. In addition, according to the phylogenetic analysis results obtained with other Brassicaceae species, it is revealed that the Turkish endemic Bornmuellera genus is monophyletic.

    A novel algorithm based on DNA coding for substitution box generation problem

    Artuğer, Fırat

    Substitution boxes are very important for cryptographic structures. But getting an 8-bit strong s-box is a difficult problem. To address this problem, a new approach is proposed in this study. DNA chains are used in the proposed approach. First of all, a weak s-box is obtained with the help of a chaotic map. Then, a DNA chain is formed with the same chaotic map. In this study, 2000-long DNA chains were produced. Then, two random values consisting of four components are determined from these DNA chains, and these values are addressed to the s-box structure. By changing the places of these values, the s-box structure is improved up to a certain iteration. In this study, 10,000 iterations were examined, and three different strong s-boxes were obtained by using three different DNA chains. The nonlinearity values of these s-box structures were observed as 110.25, 110.5, and 110.75, respectively. The proposed study has proven to work effectively with effective results in three different chains. In addition, it has been proven as a result of the analysis that the proposed s-box structures also have other cryptographic features. The proposed algorithm has surpassed many s-box generation philosophies in the literature. In addition, the proposed algorithm will provide serious gains to cryptographic structures that will be developed in the future.

    Degradation Products of Rhyolitic Rocks, Adsorption Applications, Isotherm Studies

    Fırat, Tülay; Sarıcı-Özdemir, Çiğdem

    Heavy metals and their toxicity are a major global concern. They are one of the major environmental problems causing serious problems for living beings. In this study, the adsorption properties of a clay sample located in nature are improved by treating with different materials, and then adsorption properties are examined. It is observed that clay sample can be used in many adsorption applications, including the adsorption of heavy metals such as copper. The clay mineral used in the study was obtained from a rhyolite type rock. Rhyolite rocks, one of the degradation products of volcanic rocks, are the volcanic counterparts of granite. In this study, rhyolite rock was crushed with suitable crushers and grinders, then sieved under 200 mesh with molecular sieve and clay minerals were obtained. The clay samples (K1,K2. K8) were synthesized by subjecting clay with acid and base. Adsorption properties of clay are due to wide surface area, surface functional groups and microporosity. Adsorption of methylene blue and iodine, adsorption from aqueous solutions of copper are done with clay samples and results were compared with samples of clay have not undergone any pre-treatment. In the study, the highest adsorption capacity was determined by applying the Freundlich isotherm. In the K6 sample treated with a base, the highest adsorption capacity was calculated as 26.98 Lg−1. In contrast, the Langmuir isotherm results were calculated in the range of 10.56 to 11.86 Lg−1. This indicates that the adsorption takes place on a heterogeneous surface. The structure and surface properties of clay were examined.

    Karaaslan Ayhan, Nagihan

    In this study, lanthanum (La)-based magnetic biopolymers were synthesized, and the first adsorption study was conducted on the removal of brilliant green dye from aqueous water with these biopolymers. For the adsorption study, adsorption parameters were investigated and the ideal adsorption conditions determined for the removal of brilliant green dye from aqueous solutions are pH 11, t 60 min, m 10 mg, C0 25 mg/L, T 298 K. It was determined that the adsorption process was compatible with the single-layer Langmuir isotherm, and maximum adsorption capacity obtained according to the Langmuir isotherm was calculated as 256.41 mg/g. The adsorption process was found to be in accordance with the pseudo-second-order, and the adsorption process was explained by intra-particle diffusion. According to studies of adsorption thermodynamics, it has been established that the nature of the adsorption reaction is spontaneous, and this process is endothermic and has increasing randomness. Moreover, the reusability of magnetic lanthanum/alginate (La/Alg) biopolymers was investigated, and it was determined that the biopolymers could be used successfully. In summary, brilliant green dye has been successfully removed with simple, low-cost, environmentally friendly, and easily obtained magnetic La/Alg biopolymers. It can be stated that even low amounts of these biopolymers can be effective in the treatment of highly concentrated dye wastewaters.

    Investigation of the variation of mechanical and durability properties of elements manufactured with rubber substituted SCMs with element height

    Akgül, Melek; Etli, Serkan

    Controlling the homogeneous distribution of granulated rubber materials added to self-compacting concrete/mortars along the height is of great importance in terms of preserving and defining the holistic behavior of structural elements. In this study, the effect of EPDMGR (ethylene propylene diene monomer granulated rubber) ratio (0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 % and 25 %), test age, L/D (slenderness ratio) and element test zone (bottom, middle and top) on the mechanical properties (flexural and compressive), durability properties (porosity and sorptivity) of the elements produced with SCM were evaluated. The results obtained were statistically evaluated by GLM-ANOVA. It was observed that flexural tensile strength was strengthened up to 5 % substitution rate due to the hydrophobic properties and elasticity properties of EPDMGR used, while porosity values increased with height in the upper regions compared to the lower regions due to the placement properties of SCM. Differences in compressive strength appeared in the upper and lower sections after 5 % EPDMGR substitution. This indicates that for the mixture properties used, the properties examined in terms of mechanical and durability test results may have different properties with limited variability in terms of L/D ratio depending on the EPDMGR ratio used and the region where the element was taken.

    A new post-processing approach for improvement of nonlinearity property in substitution boxes

    Artuğer, Fırat; Özkaynak, Fatih

    The main reason that makes chaos theory attractive for cryptology studies is the unpredictable nature of chaotic systems. However, the fact that the statistical and cryptographical properties of cryptographic primitives based on the values obtained as a result of the electronic circuit implementation of a chaotic system are not as good as the designs based on mathematical transformations has occupied the agenda of researchers. One of the most striking examples of this problem in practical applications is substitution-box (s-box) structures. While the nonlinearity value is 112 for s-box designs based on mathematical transformations, this value is in the range of 103–106.75 for s-box designs based on random (chaotic) transformations. Thanks to the post-processing algorithm proposed in this study, it has been shown that this problem can be resolved and the nonlinearity values of chaos-based s-box structures can be improved up to 111.5. It is thought that the proposed post-processing algorithm may have various potential contributions not only to improve the nonlinearity criterion of s-box structures but also to other information security applications such as cryptographic random number generators in future studies.
