    Electrical and Optical Properties of Titanium Dioxide-Carbon Nanotube Nanocomposites

    Aydin, Handan

    The electrical and optical properties of carbon nanotube and titanium dioxide nano-composites have been investigated. The carbon nanotubes were prepared by chemical vapor deposition. The diameters and lengths of the carbon nanotubes were respectively determined to be 20-30 nm and about 3-5 mu m by high resolution transmittance electron microscopy. The direct current electrical conductivity values sigma(dc) of the nanocomposites were found to be in the range of 5.96 x 10(-3)-0.47 S/cm. It was found that the electrical conductivity of nanocomposites increases with CNT content. The optical band gaps of the nanocomposites were determined by Kubelka-Munk theory based on the analysis of diffuse reflectance spectra. The band gap (E-g) values of the composites were decreased with increasing CNT contents. The obtained results indicate that the electrical and optical properties of TiO2 semiconductor metal oxide can be improved by incorporation of CNT content for electronic applications.

    Assessment of immunomodulator biomarkers (Tnf-α, Il-1β and Il-6) in liver of Capoeta umbla for biomonitoring of pollution in Uzuncayir Dam Lake (Tunceli, Turkey)

    Yildirim, N. C.; Danabas, S.

    This study was aimed to monitor water pullution of Uzuncayir Dam Lake using the changes of IL-6, IL1 beta and TNF-alpha levels in Capoeta umbla (Heckel, 1843) liver tissue at ten stations in March and September 2011. In this study C. umbla (Heckel, 1843) was used as the indicator organism. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interlekuin1 beta (IL-1 beta) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were determined in samples of the liver tissue by ELISA kit. The lowest mean IL-1 beta levels were found at station 6. The mean IL-1 beta was reached its maximum level at station 2. The difference between the mean levels of IL-6 was found to be significant (p<0.05) amoung stations. The IL-6 levels were significantly increased in September at stations 1, 2, 7 and 8 (p<0.01) compared to the values in March. The mean levels of TNF-alpha were found to be significant (p<0.05) amoung stations. The TNF-alpha levels significantly decreased in September at stations 1 and 9 (p<0.01). TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta and IL-6 levels in C. umbla can be used as early diagnostic indicators against adverse environmental events and useful and reliable bioindicators in determining the pollution of the aquatic ecosystem.

    Ecological risk assessment of heavy metals in surface sediments of northern littoral zone of Lake Cildir, Ardahan, Turkey

    Kükrer, Serkan; Seker, Sebahat; Abaci, Z. Tugba; Kutlu, Banu

    In this paper, the heavy metal levels (Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Mn, Fe, As, Cd, Cr, Hg), organic carbon, and chlorophyll degradation products were studied to prove their ecological effects in Lake CA +/- ldA +/- r, where fossil fuels are used as an energy source in the studied area for most of the year, and domestic waste from settlements is discharged directly into the lake. Sediment samples were collected from six sites on the northern shore of CA +/- ldA +/- r Lake, Turkey in November 2012. Enrichment (EF) and contamination factor (CF) values were determined, and Pollution Load (PLI) and Potential Ecological Risk (PER) indices were calculated. Average concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments were, in descending order, Fe > Mn > Zn > Ni > Cr > Cu > Pb > As > Cd > Hg, respectively. According to mean values, the source of these elements may be considered natural due to lack of enrichment in Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, and Cr in the sediment samples. Regarding enrichment of As, Cd, Mn, and Hg, the highest EF belongs to Hg. PLI and PER values indicate there are moderate ecological risk in the lake.

    DETERMINING DIFFERENT PLANT LEAVES' FRACTAL DIMENSIONS: A NEW APPROACH TO TAXONOMICAL STUDY OF PLANTS

    Bayirli, Mehmet; Selvi, Selami; Cakilcioglu, Ugur

    Fractal dimensions of leaves from Cercis canadensis L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Amelanchier arborea (F. Michx.) Fernald, Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, Quercus alba L., Carpinus caroliniana Walter, Ficus carica L., Morus rubra L., Platanus orientalis L., and Ulmus rubra Muhl. were calculated. The values were then confirmed and compared by those obtained from box-counting method and the exponent values of density-density correlation function (first time in the literature). It is now proposed for the first time that there is a relationship between a fractal dimension of the leaf and a surface density of the image and was concluded that together with other measures, the fractal dimensions with surface density function could be used as a new approach to taxonomical study of plants.

    DESIGNING IN-WHEEL SWITCHED RELUCTANCE MOTOR FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES

    Yildirim, M.; Polat, M.; Öksüztepe, E.; Omaç, Z.; Yakut, O.; Eren, H.; Kaya, M.; Kürüm, H.

    Estimation of dimension parameters for an electrical machine has great importance before manufacturing. For this reason, analytical design should be performed in an optimum form. While motor analysis is accomplished by package programs, initial size parameters are intutivily provided and then various trials are examined to get optimum results. In this study, we are trying to find dimensional and electrical parameters generating mathematical equations in analytic approaches for In-Wheel Switched Reluctance Motor (IW-SRM), which will be employed by Electric Vehicle (EV). Therefore, optimum motor parameters for required speed and torque have been estimated by solving generated equations for in-wheel SRM with 18/12 poles via MATLAB. Using the parameters, analysis of in-wheel SRM has been carried out 3D Finite Element Method (FEM) by Ansoft Maxwell 15.0 Package Software. Consequently, the accuracy of the estimated parameters has been validated by the results of Maxwell 3D FEM.

    EFFECT OF COPPER OXIDE NANOPARTICLES TO SHEEPSHEAD MINNOW (CYPRINODON VARIEGATUS) AT DIFFERENT SALINITIES

    Ates, M.; Dugo, M. A.; Demir, V.; Arslan, Z.; Tchounwou, P. B.

    Nanotechnologies research has become a significant priority worldwide. Many engineered nano-sized materials have been increasingly used in consumer products. But the adverse effects of these nanoparticles on the environment and organisms have recently drawn much attention. The present study investigated the effects of different concentrations of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) on the sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) at different salinity regimes, since it is able to withstand a wide range of salinities. The results indicated that CuO NPs could cause behavioral changes in the fish, such as increased mucus secretion, less general activity and loss of equilibrium. No mortality was observed at the presence of CuO NPs during the experiments. But higher oxidative stress was determined at half strength seawater than seawater exposure medium, which can be associated with the decreasing toxicity of CuO NPs as salinity increases. In addition, Cu contents in the tissues of the fish were significantly higher (p<0.05) in the low salinity. The order of Cu accumulation in the fish's organs was intestine > gills > liver.

    Temporal Changes in Concentrations of Some Trace Elements in Muscle Tissue of Crayfish, Astacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823), from Keban Dam Lake

    Aksu, Onder; Adiguzel, Ragip; Demir, Veysel; Yildirim, Numan; Danabas, Durali; Seker, Sebahat; Can, Safak Seyhaneyildiz; Ates, Mustafa

    Crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus Eschscholtz, 1823) is the native crayfish species in Turkey. It was exported regularly to Western Europe. In this study, bioaccumulation and temporal trends of some trace elements (arsenic: As, cadmium: Cd, copper: Cu, mercury: Hg, lead: Pb, and zinc: Zn) in edible abdomenmuscle of crayfish from Keban Dam Lake (Elazig, Turkey) were investigated for the 2006-2012 period. Sequence of metal concentration levels was Zn > Cu > Hg > Pb > Cd > As in muscle tissues. The highest concentration of Zn (21.69mg kg(-1)) was detected in 2006, while the lowest (4.35mg kg(-1)) in 2009. In general, it was found that the concentrations of trace elements investigated were lower than the maximum permissible limits of the food regulations of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Livestock (MFAL), the Turkish Food Codex and Commission Regulation (EC). If the crayfish selected for the study are recognized as bioindicators of environmental pollution, then it is possible to conclude that the changes in studied trace elements concentrations in the Keban Dam Lake are being steady.

    Estimation of Confidence Regions and Severity of Undefined Faults in Driving using Synthetic Disturbance Signals

    Yakut, O.; Eren, H.; Kaya, M.; Oksuztepe, E.; Polat, M.; Omac, Z.; Kurum, H.; Celenk, M.

    In this study, we aim to determine fault severity in an electric car that may be caused by yawing due to such disturbances as non-uniform road pavements, in-wheel bearing clearance, suspension system, driver under Influence of alcohol (DUI), and tire deformation. The major research contribution herein is to alert drivers about an unforeseen situation on steering wheel whether it refers to a severe fault or contemporary states. In a sense, the undertaken study serves as a state of the art driving assistant system operating under unsteady conditions. We determine the fault severity of the system via classifying it into specified confidence regions by estimating the deviation from a monotonous straight route for any unstable situation. In this way, the proposed system informs driver to gain an insight about the severity level of arising problematic scenario. In order to realize the classification of confidence regions, we initially obtain the overall dynamic model of the system. Then, disturbance functions with different amplitudes and frequencies are characterized and included in the dynamic system specification. Here, the confidence regions have been constructed as to respective fault severity level of the car through the system response. Trajectory of vehicle in dynamic driving conditions considering these perturbations and noises are interrelated through the Kalman filtering to predict deviations from the desired trajectory and the prediction error. In simulation scenarios, Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is employed to obtain deviation from ground truth under different noise functions, and results are sketched graphically assigning rate of fault severity into specified confidence regions. Initially, we have modeled the proposed system considering an electric car although the idea can readily be generalized for all cars with four tires. Presently, fault severity with classified confidence regions has been investigated under a simple car model.

    Karadag, Ezgi; Kilic, Serap Parlar; Karatay, Gulnaz; Metin, Ozgur

    Aim: To assess the effect of baby oil on pruritus, sleep quality, and quality of life in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: This pretest-post-test model with control groups study was conducted in HD units in two different provinces in eastern Turkey. The study group consisted of a total of 70 patients receiving HD treatment who met the inclusion criteria, 35 being in the intervention group and 35 in the control group. After the patients in both groups were informed about the study, they were administered a questionnaire, the Severity Scale, Visual Analog Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale. Following the administration of baby oil to the patients in the intervention group three times a week for a period of 1 month, the same scales were repeated to explore their pruritic status, sleep quality, and quality of life. The same scales were repeated also for the patients in the control group 1 month later but without administering any baby oil. Results: When the Itch Severity Scale, Visual Analog Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and SF-36 Quality of Life Physical and Mental Component scores of the patients in the control and intervention groups before and after the intervention were compared, the differences in the change were found to be statistically significant in favor of the intervention group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: It was found in this study that administration of baby oil had positive effects on itching, quality of life, and sleep quality in HD patients who had itching complaints.

    ESTIMATION OF THE POPULATION SIZE OF CAPOETA UMBLA (HECKEL, 1843) IN THE LAKE HAZAR (ELAZIG) BY REMOVAL METHOD

    Yüksel, F.; Alp, A.; Gündüz, F.; Çoban, M. Zulfu; Demirol, F.

    Fish populations in smaller aquatic environments are affected by the fishing pressure at a much faster pace. Often, compensation of this effect either takes a long time or is not possible at all. For the purposes of establishing fishing regulations in these water environments, the removal method is able to provide results quickly and almost accurately. The Lake Hazar, which is the environment of our study, is 8,600 hectares in size, and is a natural lake where Capoeta umbla species is caught commercially using gill nets. In this study, stock size of Capoeta umbla in the Lake Hazar (Elazig) was estimated using removal method. In addition, the power of fishing and the status of fishing yield in the lake were evaluated. In our research, it was determined that seven commercial fishing boats caught 25,721 kg of fish in the lake in a fishing season. CPUE was calculated as 1.55 kg (kg/day/a gill net). As a result of the regression analysis, the amount of stock in the lake was the estimated to be 37,781 kg (+/- 14,001 kg). When cumulative catch was formulated as recommended by Ricker (1975), the population size was estimated to be 38,649 kg (+/- 15,007 kg). As a result of our study, the use of removal method was found to be appropriate for small reservoirs with reduced population density due to strong fishing pressure.

    A new chelating ligand, 5,5-dimethyl-2-(2-(3-nitrophenyl)hydrazono)cyclohexane-1,3-dione (L), and four transition metal complexes were synthesized. The ligand and its complexes were characterized by IR, H-1 and C-13-NMR spectra, elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, mass spectra, UV-Vis. and thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA). The metal complexes showed different geometric structures. Antibacterial tests of the ligand and complexes were also done. The Zn(II) complexes showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC-25923 at middle level. The optical properties of the ligand and its complexes were extensively investigated by optical measurements. The average transmittance value of the ligand was the highest value, while the average transmittance value of the [CuL2(NO3)(2)]center dot 6H(2)O complex was the lowest value. The optical band gap of the ligand, [(Zn)(2)L(OH)(4)]center dot 2DMF, [ZnL(NO3)(2)(H2O)(2)]center dot 5H(2)O, [CuL2(OAc)]center dot OAc center dot 3.5H(2)O and [CuL2(NO3)(2)]center dot 6H(2)O complexes were calculated and 3.121 eV, 2.180 eV, 1.551 eV, 2.489 eV and 1.556 eV values were found, respectively. The complexes decreased the optical band gap of the ligand. The optical band gap value of the [ZnL(NO3)(2)(H2O)(2)]center dot 5H(2)O complex is the lowest value. The optical band gap value of the ligand is the highest value. The complexes decrease the angle of incidence of the ligand, while complexes increase the angle of refraction of the ligand. The electric susceptibility of the ligand decreases with its complexes.

    Ethnopharmacological relevance: This paper provides significant ethnobotanical information on medicinal plants in the Gecitli Township in the Eastern Anatolia Region. Recording such data calls for urgency this is the first ethnobotanical study in which statistical calculations about plants are carried out by means of the FIC method in Eastern (Hakkari) part of Turkey. Aim of the study This study aims to identify the wild plants collected for medicinal purposes by locals of Gecitli which is located in the Eastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, and to identify the uses and local names of these wild plants. Materials and methods: A field study had been carried out for a period of approximately 2 years (20082010). During this period, 70 plants taxa and one mushroom were collected. Demographic characteristics of participants, names of the local plants, their utilized parts and preparation methods were investigated and recorded. The plant taxa were collected within the scope of the study; and herbarium materials were prepared. In addition, the relative significance value of the taxa was determined, and informant consensus factor (FIC) was calculated for the medicinal plants included in the study. Results: We have found out in the literature review of the plants included in our study that 70 plant taxa and one mushroom are already used for medicinal purposes while 11 plants are not available among the records in the literature. The most common families are Asteraceae, Apiaceae, Lamiaceae, Rosaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, and Malvaceae. We include in our study and report for the first time the medicinal uses of Alchemilla hessii Rothm., Cirsium pubigerum (Desf.) DC. var. spinosum Pet., Diplotaenia cachrydifolia Boiss., Euphorbia macrocarpa Boiss. & Buhse, Galium consanguineum Boiss., Inula helenium L subsp. vanensis Grierson, Johrenia dichotoma DC. subsp. sintenisii Bornm., Pelargonium quercetorum Agnew, Rosa heckeliana Tratt subsp. vanheurckiana (Crep.) O. Nilsson, Salts aegyptiaca L, Taraxacum montanum (C.A. Mey.) DC. Names of local plants in Turkey vary especially due to vernaculars. The plants that the locals of Gecitli use are called with the same or different local names in various parts of Anatolia. Conclusion: We found out that locals living in the research area use for therapeutic purpose 70 plants taxa and one mushroom which belong to 28 families. Turkish citizens with different ethnic backgrounds took the questionnaire. These people use these wild plants in treatment of several diseases. Comparison of the data obtained in this study with the experimental data obtained in the previous laboratory studies on the wild plants which grow in Gecitli proved ethnobotanical usages to a great extent. Literature review indicated that the therapeutic plants that grow in Gecitli are used in different parts of the world for the treatment of similar diseases. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

    THE EFFECTS HYDROXYUREA DERIVATIVE SCHIFF BASES ON FATTY ACIDS AND LYPOPHILIC VITAMINS IN LIVER OF RATS

    Turkoglu, Semra; Parlak, Akif E.; Yildirim, Isil; Karagozoglu, Yusuf; Alayunt, Naci O.

    Schiff bases and their metal complexes have antiviral, antimicrobial, antitumoral, radical scavenging and antioxidant activities. In this study, effects of Schiff base ligand and its metal complexes on the fatty acids and lyphophlilic vitamins of the liver of rats were investigated. The fatty acids of the liver were determined by GC and lyphophlilic vitamins of the liver determined by HPLC. The amounts of stearic acid (18:0), oleic acid (18:1) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) considerably decreased in the Mn, Ni and Zn complexes groups, whereas the amount of linolenic acid (18:3) and eicosatrienoic acid (20:3) considerably increased in the Ni an Zn complexes groups compared to the control group (P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the amounts of arachidonic acid (20:4), docosahexaenoic acid (22:6), total saturated fatty acids (SFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), total omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids between groups. The amounts of vitamin K-1, vitamin D-2 considerably increased (P<0.05) in the Mn and Ni complexes groups as compared to the control. It was observed that the amount of a-tocopherol increased both in the Ni and Co complexes groups when compared to the control group but this increase was parallel to the amount in the same groups (P<0.05). As a result, it can be think that with the application of toxic metals such as manganese, cupper, nickel, cobalt, and zinc unsaturated fatty acids affected the activities of enzymes which are in the liver tissue and in charge in the fatty acid chain elongation.
