Soner, Omer; Celik, Erkan; Akyuz, Emre
The aim of this paper is to provide not only a hybrid theoretical methodology in multiple-attribute decision making problems but also a practical application in maritime transportation industry. The proposed hybrid approach integrates Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method into VlseKriterijumska Optimizacijia I Kompromisno Resenje, (VIKOR) technique under interval type-2 fuzzy (IT2F) environment. While AHP and VIKOR provides a comprehensive framework to solve multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) problems in maritime transportation industry, the IT2F enables to deal with much uncertainty during linguistic assessment of decision-makers. The proposed approach is demonstrated with a hatch cover design selection problem since it has utmost importance in structure of bulk carrier ships to prevent water ingress and protect cargo form the external damages. Besides its robust theoretical insight, the paper has practical contribution to the naval engineers, classification societies and ship owners who have difficulty in deciding appropriate hatch cover type during construction of the ship.

Aslan, Alper; Coban, Murat; Karakus Yilmaz, Turkan; Goktas, Yuksel
Background. The satisfaction of a player’s gaming experience has a great impact on their game preferences. The goal of this study was to investigate the opinions and experiences of Turkish players of computer games in order to examine the effects of native symbols on their game preferences. Method. The data collection tools were games developed in Turkey, websites for these games, user comments made on the video records of the games, online forums, and an open-ended questionnaire. Results. The results indicate that although native symbols from the players’ home society play a role in shaping the users’ playability perception, it cannot be argued that they change the game preferences. These results may be applied to computer games’ designs, development strategies, and advertising methods to attract all players.

Ince, Muharrem; Ince, Olcay Kaplan
The aim of the present research was to apply the Box-Behnken experimental design and response surface methodology for modeling of copper (Cu2+) ions from an industrial wastewater and leachate pretreated astragalus herbal plant. A three factor, three level Box-Behnken experimental design combined with response surface modeling (RSM) and quadratic programming (QP) was employed for maximizing Cu(ID removal from aqueous solution based on 17 different experimental data obtained in a batch experimental study. Three independent variables (pH ranging from 2.0 to 8.0, contact time from 10 to 180 minutes, and adsorbent amount from 0.1 to 1 g) were studied. The significance of the independent variables and their interactions were tested by means of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) with 95% confidence limits. The standardized effects of the independent variables and their interactions on the dependent variable were also investigated by preparing a Pareto chart. The optimum values of the selected variables were obtained by solving the quadratic regression model as well as by analyzing the response surface contour plots. Using the experimental conditions of pH = 5.0, contact time = 92.5 minutes, adsorbent dosage = 0.25 g, the recovery efficiency of Cu(II) was found to be 100%. Copper-free and copperloaded astragalus was analyzed using fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) which evidenced the functional groups involved in copper uptake. Adsorption equilibrium for copper was described by using the Freundlich and Langmiur adsorption isotherms. This adsorbent was applied to different industrial wastewater and leachate samples for copper removal.

Can, Umit; Alatas, Bilal
The classical optimization algorithms are not efficient in solving complex search and optimization problems. Thus, some heuristic optimization algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, exploration of association rules within numerical databases with Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) has been firstly performed. GSA has been designed as search method for quantitative association rules from the databases which can be regarded as search space. Furthermore, determining the minimum values of confidence and support for every database which is a hard job has been eliminated by GSA. Apart from this, the fitness function used for GSA is very flexible. According to the interested problem, some parameters can be removed from or added to the fitness function. The range values of the attributes have been automatically adjusted during the time of mining of the rules. That is why there is not any requirements for the pre-processing of the data. Attributes interaction problem has also been eliminated with the designed GSA. GSA has been tested with four real databases and promising results have been obtained. GSA seems an effective search method for complex numerical sequential patterns mining, numerical classification rules mining, and clustering rules mining tasks of data mining.

Unuvar, Songul; Savan, Ebru Kuyumcu; Karaaslan, Nagihan M.
The presence of heavy metals, inadequate minerals and elements in infant foods is of great concern. In this study, the heavy metals aluminum (Al) and lead (Pb), essential elements such as iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn), and minerals such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and sodium (Na) were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) in five different brands of 20 infant formula samples obtained from pharmacies and supermarkets in Malatya, Turkey. The Joint FAO/ WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has set the maximum concentration levels of heavy metals in infant formula and levels of provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) of these metals by infants. The levels of Al and Pb in the analyzed samples were found to be under legal limits. The recommended daily intake (RDI) of the essential elements and minerals were found within normal and permissible ranges, showing that the formulas are safe for infants.

Kocabaş, Mehmet; Kutluyer, Filiz
Experiments were designed to examine the in vitro effect of cobalt on sperm motility of the endangered trout species (Salmo coruhensis). Sperm samples were diluted in an immobilizing solution, and activated in a motility-activation solution that was supplemented with cobalt at concentrations of 1, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L. The percentage of motile sperm and duration of motility were determined. Cobalt concentrations of 1–100 mg/L had a positive effect on the percentage of motile sperm and duration of motility compared to the control group, while a concentration of 1000 mg/L resulted in decreases in these parameters (p < 0.05). The percentages of motile sperm at cobalt concentrations of 0, 1, 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L were 83.33% ± 0.25%, 88.33% ± 0.34%, 89.00% ± 0.57%, 90.00% ± 0.87% and 42.50% ± 0.45%, respectively; and the time durations over which the sperm remained motile were 72.00 ± 0.63, 74.83 ± 0.28, 77.40 ± 0.47, 81.14 ± 0.78, and 50.25 ± 0.67 s, respectively. This study has shown that sperm motility and duration were significantly enhanced (p < 0.05) at cobalt concentrations of 1, 10 and 100 mg/L, relative to controls, and significantly decreased at 1000 mg/L.

Alataş, Mevlüt; Batan, Nevzat; Ezer, Tülay; Uyar, Güray
In this study, epiphytic bryophyte flora and vegetation were investigated of Boraboy and Destek forests in Amasya province (Turkey). A total of 22 bryophyte taxa (19 mosses, 3 liverworts) were recorded in the research site. As a result of the investigation of 32 sampling releves taken from the trunks by the Braun-Blanquet method, two epiphytic bryophyte associations (Orthotrichetum pallentisand Orthotrichetum striati) belonging to the Ulotion crispaealliance were detected. Among these syntaxa Orthotrichetum pallentiswas recorded for the first time from Turkey. Furthermore, the life forms and life strategies spectrum in syntaxa were analyzed. Analysis result indicates a distinct correlation between life forms, strategies and ecological conditions of the area. Weft and cushion are dominant life forms, Perennial stayers with high sexual reproductive effort is dominant life strategy in the syntaxa. In addition, the ecological characteristics of bryophyte taxa were evaluated. According to these results the largest number of epiphytic bryophytes in the area are mesophytic, sciophyte and subneutrophyte.

Demirel, Serkan; Çakilcioǧlu, Uǧur
This study was made on the plants used for medical purposes in Hititte cuneiform scripts. There are very few medical texts among Hititte cuneiform scripts. In these texts, it is seen that some plants are used in the treatment of diseases together with various religious rituals. These texts, which have the quality of prescription to some extent, indicate the existence of a traditional medicine in the Hititte era. The mentioned plants' uses in treatment are considered and the connection of these plants to the Anatolian folk medicine today was emphasized. Traditional treatment methods formed as a result of a cultural accumulation. It is possible to see some signs from Anatolia in the 2nd millenium B.C. about the past of the traditional herbal treatment methods which is known to have a long history in Anatolia.

Yalcin, H.; Kavuncuoğlu, H.; Tulukcu, E.; Eroğlu, Z.
This study was designed to determine the effect of harvest time on the bioactive properties and volatile components of flowers, leaves and stems of Lavandula officinalis. The bioactive properties were examined in terms of total phenolic content, antiradical activity and antioxidant capacity by the Folin-Ciocalteu, 1.1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging and phosphomolybdenum methods, respectively. Volatile components were detected with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Water and methanol were used for extraction solvent and three different parts of the day (morning, midday and evening) were selected for harvest time. Water extracts had higher total phenolic contents (337.2-771.5 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/g dry extract) than methanolic extracts (170.3-320.8 mg GAE/g dry extract), and in general, midday values were less than morning and evening rates and had a significant difference depending on harvest time. A similar feature was observed in respect to antioxidant properties. The inhibition rates (%) of flowers and leaves were higher than those of the stems for either extract. In terms of the volatile components linalool, camphor, 1,8-cineole, terpinen-4-ol and isoborneol were the most representative compounds in the samples.

Onat, Onur; Celik, Erkan
Waste materials in concrete have been considered as one of the most important issues by the authorities, policy makers and researchers to maintain engineering serviceability in terms of economy, durability and sustainability. Therefore, evaluation and selection of waste materials with respect to multi criteria decision making (MCDM) for the construction industry has been gained importance for recovery and reuse. In this paper, Choquet integral based fuzzy approach is proposed for evaluating the most suitable waste materials with respect to compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, compactness, toughness (resistivity for dynamic loads), water absorption and accessibility. On conclusion, waste tyre and silica fume were determined as the most suitable waste materials for concrete production. The obtained results are recommended to assist the authorities on configuring well designed strategies for construction industry with disposal materials.

Aksakal, B.; Say, Y.; Buyukpinar, Ç.; Bakirdere, S.
Hydroxyapatite (HA) based bioceramic coatings; such as single-HA, double layered with Silver-Ag, Selenium-Se and Chitosan substitutions on Rex-734 alloy were executed by using the sol-gel method. Surface morphologies and adhesion strengths of the obtained coatings were investigated and coating material weight losses and metal ion releases from the substrates were determined in SBF (Simulated Body Fluid) environment. The coatings were characterized by SEM, EDS, XRD and adhesion strengths between the substrate and bioceramic coatings were measured with adhesion tests. SEM analyses revealed that crack-free surface morphologies were obtained in all bioceramic coatings. The coatings were kept in SBF for immersion periods from one to four weeks and the weight loss (%) in coatings and changes in ion release rates were determined. HA/Ag double layered coatings applied on the Rex-734 alloy increased the adhesion strength and accordingly reduced the weight losses (%) of coating materials in SBF. Se/Chitosan double layered coatings were found to decrease the adhesion strength and increase the weight losses (%) in SBF. Additionally, all bioceramic coatings were observed to prevent the elemental ion release by physical barrier effect for the release of metal ions during the four weeks immersion period in SBF.

Firat, Erhan; Ozkan, Gokturk M.; Akilli, Huseyin
The wake flows behind fixed, hollow, rigid circular cylinders with two rows of holes connecting the front and rear stagnation lines were investigated using particle image velocimetry (PIV) for various combinations of three hole diameters, d = 0.1D, 0.15D, and 0.20D, six hole-to-hole distances, l = 2d, 3d, 4d, 5d, 6d, and 7d, and ten angles of incidence (α), from 0° to 45° in steps of 5°, at a Reynolds number of Re = 6,900. Time-averaged velocity distributions, instantaneous and time-averaged vorticity patterns, time-averaged streamline topology, and hot spots of turbulent kinetic energy occurred through the interaction of shear layers from the models were presented to show how the wake flow was modified by the presence of the self-issuing jets with various momentums emanating from the downstream holes. In general, as hole diameter which is directly related to jet momentum increased, the values of time-averaged wake characteristics (length of time-averaged recirculation region, vortex formation length, length of shear layers, and gap between the shear layers) increased. Irrespective to d and l tested, the values of the vortex formation length of the models are greater than that of the cylinder without hole (reference model). That is, vortex formation process was shifted downstream by aid of jets. It was found that time-averaged wake characteristics were very sensitive to α. As α increased, the variation of these characteristics can be modeled by exponential decay functions. The effect of l on the three-dimensional vortex shedding patterns in the near wake of the models was also discussed.

The poly[2-hydroxy-3-(1-naphthyloxy)propyl] methacrylate [poly(NOPMA)] was used as a novel adsorbent for the removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) known as a reactive dye. Physico-chemical properties of polymer were analyzed by FT-IR and SEM before and after dye adsorption. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to explain the adsorption equilibrium, and when it was compared with each other it was seen that the adsorption process was well explained by the Langmuir isotherm model and showing a monolayer adsorption capacity for RBBR of 238.10 mg/g. Kinetic models known as pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order and intra-particle diffusion model were utilized to analyze the mechanism of adsorption, and results indicated that was an adsorption kinetic suitable with the pseudo-second-order. The thermodynamic parameters (∆Ho, ∆So, ∆Go) indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. To optimize the study conditions, the effects of the concentration of RBBR, adsorbent amount and contact time on the adsorption were investigated by response surface methodology (RSM). According to RSM results, maximum RBBR removal was reached at the optimum initial dye concentration of 60.85 mg/L, adsorbent dosage of 0.04 g/50 mL and contact time of 59.91 min.

Akansu, Yahya Erkan; Fırat, Erhan; Hacıalioğulları, Mustafa
This experimental study focused on the concurrent minimization of the mean and fluctuating forces acting on a square prism in crossflow by creating a continuous jet through a narrow spanwise slot in it. For this purpose, three different predetermined injection surfaces (i.e., front, top, and rear) were individually studied for the injection ratios (IR) of 0, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 at a Reynolds number (Re) of 8000. The results showed that the rear jet is the optimum injection surface. For the rear jet configuration, the optimum IR is 1.5 in terms of mean total drag coefficient reduction, 〈CDT〉. In this case, the reductions in the 〈CDT〉 and the level of root mean square (RMS) of fluctuating pressure coefficient (CP RMS) on the side surfaces are about 29.7% and 68%, respectively. However, the maximum reduction in the CP RMS level on the side surfaces occurred at IR = 2. In this case, the reductions in the 〈CDT〉 and the level of CP RMS on the side surfaces are about 27.5% and 88%, respectively. The underlying mechanism of force reduction was also demonstrated. Various flow patterns were identified with respect to IR at incidence angle (α) of 0°. It was also proved that, at relatively small angles of incidence, from α = 0° to 20°, the active flow control method is still effective in reducing 〈CDT〉 and in suppressing the fluctuating side forces, which is indicative of periodic vortex shedding from either side of the square prism.

The current study involves the measurements of T1 relaxation time of complexes three different crown ethers (4-aminobenzo-15-Crown-5, 1-Aza-18-Crown-6, 1-Aza-15-Crown-5) and two different ions sodium perchlorate (NaClO4), lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) by a 400 MHz NMR spectrometer. The association constants (Ka) of the complexes were determined on the basis of the evaluation of these measurements using the Benesi-Hildebrand method that we have modified. These association constants were consistent with those obtained from 1H NMR titration technique. As a result, it can be speculated that binding constants could be measured using T1 relaxation time when chemical shifts are very small or cannot be observed.
