    Application of electrocoagulation process for the disposal of COD, NH3-N and turbidity from the intermediate sanitary landfill leachate

    Ogedey, Aysenur; Oguz, Ensar

    This study aims to determine the COD, NH3-N and turbidity disposal efficiencies from leachate in the Bingöl landfill and highlight the electrocoagulation (EC) process’s performance in removing these pollutants. After establishing that landfill leachate was intermediate aged, its characteristics were identified using physical, chemical and elemental analyses. Six parallel-connected electrode plates with stainless steel as the cathode and aluminium as the anode were used to construct an electrocoagulation cell. After a 40-min treatment interval, the optimal disposal efficiencies for COD and turbidity from the leachate were determined to be 87% and 62%, respectively, at pH 5. Following a 40-min reaction, BOD5 concentration and BOD5/COD ratio were determined to be 85.75 mg O2/L and 0.64, respectively, at pH 5. At a NaCl concentration of 10 mM, the optimum disposal efficiency for NH3-N was determined to be 33%. The reaction kinetics matched pseudo-first-order (PFO) kinetics due to high correlation coefficients (R2 = 0.93–0.99) in removing COD, NH3-N and turbidity under different experimental conditions. The optimal reaction rate constants were determined as 2.93 × 10−2 min−1, 1.92 × 10−2 min−1 and 7.3 × 10−3 min−1 for the disposal of COD, NH3-N and turbidity, respectively. Energy consumption, unit energy consumption and total consumption cost rose in the EC process when the current density was augmented from 15 to 25 mA/cm2.

    An experimental investigation of the flow control of a circular cylinder in near wake with parallel plates at Re = 7500

    Durhasan, Tahir; Ekinci, Fırat; Firat, Erhan; Akilli, Huseyin

    The vortex street suppression in the near wake region of the cylinder with parallel plates was investigated using particle image velocimetry (PIV) at Reynolds number of Re = 7500. The rigid plates are designed as flat, parallel with the free-stream direction, and located on both sides of the cylinder. Two different plate lengths (0.5D and 1D based on the cylinder diameter, D) were examined at gap ratios of g/D = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9, respectively. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) analyses were also employed to reveal vortex mechanism in the near wake region. The gap ratio significantly influences the interaction of the vortices. At low gap ratios, the plates directly affect the development of shear layers on both side of the cylinder. The shear layers elongate downstream with a reduction of the vortex shedding frequency. Moreover, Reynolds shear stress, vortex shedding instabilities and vortex street are suppressed in the near wake region with the help of using parallel plates. On the other hand, vortex shedding reinforces instabilities at higher gap ratios. Besides, the most effective gap ratio is different for each the plate lengths to suppress instabilities.

    Evaluation of the Effect of Temperature on the Toxicity of Lambda-Cyhalothrin in Dreissena Polymorpha Using some Biochemical Biomarkers; [Vrednotenje vpliva temperature na toksičnost Lambda-cihalotrina v modelnem organizmu Dreissena Polymorpha z uporabo biokemijskih označevalcev]

    Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Serdar, Osman; Ketenalp, Zozan

    Due to increasing climate change, it has become important to determine whether the dose-response relationship of organisms to some substances is affected by temperature. For this reason, in this study, it was aimed to reveal the effect of the temperature variable on the toxic response using the Dreissena polymorpha model organism and some of its biomarkers. For this purpose, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in Dreissena polymorpha exposed to subletal concentrations of λ-cyhalothrin at different temperatures were measured using commercial ELISA kits. According to the results obtained, there was a statistically significant increase in MDA levels in the groups exposed to λ-cyhalothrin, while a decrease in GSH levels was found. AChE levels were inhibited especially in the groups exposed high concentrartion of λcyhalothrin. It was also found that the inhibition levels increased depending on the application times. While SOD enzyme activity decreased, CAT enzyme activity increased depending on the exposure concentration. It has been observed that different temperature have different effects on the toxicity of λ-cyhalothrin. It was observed that λ-cyhalothrin caused oxidative stress and neurotoxicity, and the toxicity of λ-cyhalothrin changed depending on the temperature.

    Aydogdu, Burcu; Kaplan Ince, Olcay; Ince, Muharrem; Unal, Ilkay

    Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (fMWCNTs) that functionalized and loaded Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were investigated to adsorp doxorubicin hydrochloride (DXR). DXR release behavior efficiency was determined using kinetic studies. DXR agent was treated into fMWCNTs@AgNPs material with different drug loading rates. The material was successfully established and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, and fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy. Thermogravimetric analysis was performed to elucidate the effect of temperature on mass loss and X-ray diffraction analysis was systematically assessed the crystalline state of DXR. Various kinetic models including Higuchi, Baker Hixson-Crowell, and power-law were applied. It was revealed that DXR has more binding affinity to the fMWCNTs@AgNPs material system surface as a nanocarrier at pH 7.4 and showed more release at pH 5.0. Functionalized material confirmed its efficiency as pH-based drug delivery system. Used material can be utilized as promising nanocarriers, and findings will contribute to the rational design of novel delivery tools for drugs.

    Kurt-Celep, Inci; Zheleva-Dimitrova, Dimitrina; Sinan, Kouadio Ibrahime; Uba, Abdullahi Ibrahim; Nilofar; Mahomoodally, Mohamad Fawzi; Aumeeruddy, Muhammad Zakariyyah; Cakilcioglu, Ugur; Dall'Acqua, Stefano; Zengin, Gokhan

    The genus Stachys L., one of the largest genera of the Lamiaceae family, is highly represented in Turkey. This study was conducted to determine the bio-pharmaceutical potential and phenolic contents of six different extracts from aerial parts of Stachys tundjeliensis. The obtained results showed that the ethanol extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity in the antioxidant assays. Meanwhile, the ethanol extract displayed strong inhibitory activity against α-tyrosinase, the dichloromethane extract exhibited potent inhibition against butyrylcholinesterase, and the n-hexane extract against α-amylase. Based on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis, more than 90 secondary metabolites, including hydroxybenzoic acid, hydroxycinnamic acid, and their glycosides, acylquinic acids, phenylethanoid glycosides, and various flavonoids were identified or tentatively annotated in the studied S. tundjeliensis extracts. It was observed that the application of S. tundjeliensis eliminated H2O2-induced oxidative stress. It was determined that protein levels of phospho-nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), receptor for advanced glycation endproducts, and activator protein-1, which are activated in the nucleus, decreased, and the synthesis of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 also decreased to basal levels. Overall, these findings suggest that S. tundjeliensis contains diverse bioactive compounds for the development of nutraceuticals or functional foods with potent biological properties.

    Parental mediation in Turkey: The use of mobile devices in early childhood

    Aslan, Alper; Turgut, Yigit Emrah

    This study aims to investigate the use of mobile devices including smartphones and tablets in terms of mediation types of parents who have young children. In this case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, criterion sampling was adopted for the selection of the study group. The fact that parents of 4–7-year-old children who use mobile devices is determined as the principal criterion. Twelve children aged 4–7 and their parents participated in the study. Data were collected through child observations and parent interviews. The results indicated that children with the mediation of parental supervision had fewer problematic behaviors in the use of media and faced fewer online risks. Besides, children whose parents have general restrictive mediation were the most likely to exhibit problematic media use behaviors. Children whose parents have active mediation were also the most likely to face Internet risks. It was observed that children frequently played games and watched videos on mobile devices. Most parents considered their children’s use of mobile devices as risky and harmful, while it was considered as useful only by co-using parents. It was found that children’s use of mobile devices causes physical, psychological, communicational, and cognitive issues while improving their academic abilities, interests, and cognitive structures. Nevertheless, it was discovered that parents used mobile devices to convince their children to go through their daily routines such as eating, bathing, and sleeping or calm them down in the workplace or social environments.

    Optimizing the thermoelectric performance of Bi-Sb-Te thin films through compositional engineering

    Yüzüak, Gizem Durak; Çetin, Mehmet; Yüzüak, Ercüment

    The objective of the present investigation was to systematically investigate the structural and thermoelectric (TE) properties of BixSb2-xTe3 thin films with varying content of Bi. We investigated the impact of different atomic percentages of Bi (4, 6, 8 at. %) on the properties of carrier transport and TE performance. In general, the Seebeck coefficient remained consistent across the thin films. For the 8 at. % Bi thin film, the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity were measured at 230 μV/K and 730 S/cm, respectively, at room temperature. These values were more than 20 times greater than the electrical conductivity observed in the thin films with compositions of 6 and 4 at. % Bi. As a result, the Bi-Sb-Te compound exhibited a TE power factor (PF) of 38x10−4 W/mK2 at 40 °C, surpassing the PFs observed in previous compositions. The analysis of surface microstructure, combined with atomic force microscopy and Kelvin probe microscopy images, revealed that the transport of carriers in films with high Bi content was impeded by the size of particles and scattering sites. On the other hand, an augmentation in Bi content promoted the transfer of charge through crystalline regions, hence improving the mobility of carriers and the total electrical conductivity. The aforementioned results emphasize the significant influence of Bi content on the electrical properties of semiconductors and demonstrate the effectiveness of compositional engineering based on Bi content in the development of TE materials with superior performance. The present study investigates the influence of Bi content on the electrical properties of Bi-Sb-Te thin films, demonstrating that compositional adjustments based on Bi content can impact the performance of TE materials. These findings contribute to the understanding of material optimization in the field of TE.

    Integrating chemical analysis with in vitro, in silico, and network pharmacology to discover potential functional compounds from Marrubium astracanicum subsp. macrodon

    Avşar, Ömer Kaan; Kasbolat, Sevgi; Ak, Gunes; Nilofar; Caprioli, Giovanni; Santanatoglia, Agnese; Uysal, Ahmet; Uba, Abdullahi Ibrahim; Ponniya, Sathish Kumar M.; Paksoy, Mehmet Yavuz

    The members of the genus Marrubium are of great interest because they contain biologically active compounds. With in this mind, we aimed to examine the chemical profiles and biological activities (antioxidant, enzyme inhibition and antimicrobial effects) of different extracts of Marrubium astracanicum subsp. macrodon. Extractions of the plants were carried out with the solvent n-hexane, acetone, acetone/water (70 %), and water. The antioxidant activity of these extracts was evaluated through six different assays, namely 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), metal chelating ability (MCA), and phosphomolybdenum (PBD). Additionally, the inhibitory effects of these solvents on five enzymes acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), tyrosinase, amylase, and glucosidase were investigated. The study detected 38 compounds in a plant, with the highest content in acetone and acetone/water extracts. The acetone/water extract demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity aligning with its superior total phenolic (51.9 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g) and flavonoid (31.0 mg rutin equivalent (RE)/g) content, highlighting a direct correlation between bioactive compound concentration and antioxidant potential across various assays. Regarding the enzyme inhibition activity, the acetone/water extract of this plant exhibited significant AChE inhibition measuring 2.5 mg galantamine equivalent (GALAE)/g and anti-glucosidase activity measuring 1.2 mmol acarbose equivalent (ACAE)/g. In antimicrobial evaluation, the acetone extract exhibited good antimicrobial activity against B. cereus at 0.2 mg/ml dose. In molecular docking analysis, delphinidin 3,5 diglucoside showed a good interaction with the active site of AChE active. Through the application of network pharmacology, an in-depth exploration was conducted to unravel the potential of compounds from M. astracanicum against Alzheimer's disease. The study specifically focused on identifying key targets within the Alzheimer's disease pathway, pinpointing crucial proteins such as Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3), Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), and Alzheimer's-associated amyloid precursor protein (APP). In summary, the plant can serve as a valuable ingredient in the production of functional products within the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmeceutical applications.

    Zengin, Gokhan; Fernández-Ochoa, Álvaro; de la Luz Cádiz-Gurrea, María; Jiménez, Francisco-Javier Leyva; Uba, Abdullahi Ibrahim; Ak, Gunes; Soomro, Sanam Iram; Balos, Maruf; Cakilcioglu, Ugur; Rodrigues, Maria João

    The members of the genus Centaurea have a great interest in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields due to their biological potential. Based on this information, we aimed to evaluate the biological properties (antioxidant, enzyme inhibition and cytotoxicity) and chemical profile of the extract of Centaurea stapfiana, an unstudied species. The highest total phenolic content was found in the ethanol/water extract with 32.17 mg GAE/g. A total of 102 of them were identified by HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS analysis. These compounds were mainly hydroxybenzoic acid and hydroxycinnamic acid as well as flavonoids. In the antioxidant tests, the ethanol/water extract had the best free radical scavenging and reducing ability. However, in the enzyme inhibition test, the ethanol extract was the most active. The extracts were also tested on two tumour cell lines (RAW 264.7 and HepG2) and one non-tumour cell line (S17). The ethanol extract showed the promising effect on HepG2 (cell viability: 28.6 % at 50 g/ml). Furthermore, we examined the interactions between the compounds and enzymatic and cellular targets. A good interaction was found between quercetin-3-xylosyl-(1- > 6)-glucoside and iNOS. In summary, our results suggest that C. stapfiana can be considered as a versatile raw material for the development of health-promoting applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical fields.

    The Behavior of Ceramic Fiber Geopolymer Concrete under the Effect of High Temperature

    Dalğıç, Aras; Yılmazer Polat, Berivan

    Geopolymer concrete (GC), also known as green concrete, contains slag, silica fume, and fly ash as binders. The absence of cement in concrete is critical to protect the world from the environmental impacts of cement production. In addition, exposure to high temperatures is a critical parameter that causes loss of strength in concrete. In this study, Geopolymer concrete samples were prepared with 10 different samples containing different proportions of slag, silica fume, and porous ash and subjected to various physical, mechanical, and optical tests. The sample (GS90) with optimum workability and compressive strength, which also showed high performance in water absorption, freeze-thaw, and UPV tests, was used in high-temperature tests. Portland cement concrete (PCC) was used as a control sample. This study investigated the effect of high temperatures on the physical and mechanical properties of fiber-free GCs containing 2%, 5%, and 10% by volume of ceramic fibers. Therefore, fiber-reinforced, fiber-free, and PCC specimens were subjected to high-temperature tests at 100, 300, 600, and 900 °C. As a result of the observation of crack growth, color changes, and compressive strength parameters in the samples subjected to high-temperature tests, the thermal resistance of the 10% ceramic fiber geopolymer concrete sample was 2.5% higher than other samples. There is no study in the literature that examines the behavior of ceramic fiber-reinforced geopolymer concrete at high temperatures. This research revealed an important finding by proving that ceramic fiber reinforcement increases the compressive strength of geopolymer concretes at a remarkable rate after high-temperature impact.

    Erythropoietin and Hypericum perforatum ameliorate Gentamicin–induced nephrotoxicity in rats; [La eritropoyetina y el Hypericum perforatum mejoran la nefrotoxicidad inducida por gentamicina en ratas]

    Ak, Tuba Parlak; Sağıroğlu, Meltem; Korkmaz, Gizem Elif; Yaman, Mine

    Gentamicin (GM), which causes nephrotoxicity, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat of gram–negative infections. Erythropoietin (EPO), which has several biological functions including neuroprotection, wound healing and nephroprotection, is a glycoprotein hormone that controls erythropoiesis. Hypericum perforatum (HP) is a medicinal herb with antibacterial and nephroprotective effects. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of EPO and HP in GM nephrotoxicity using combined biochemical, histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluations together. A total of 36 male Spraque–Dawley rats were divided into as control, GM (100 mg·kg-1 day), GM+EPO, GM+HP, EPO (1000 IU·kg-1 three consecutive days apart) and HP (200 mg·kg-1 day) groups (n=6) and the experiment lasted for 9 days. GM–induced increased relative kidney weight and increased serum urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine and urea levels were reduced by EPO and HP. EPO and HP reduced the level of malondialdehyde (MDA), which increased with GM application, and increased the activities of reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH–Px), and catalase (CAT). GM nephrotoxicity resulted in tubular degeneration, vacuolization and hyaline deposits, glomerular degeneration and interstitial mononuclear cell infiltration. EPO and HP attenuated these histopathological changes. Also, EPO and HP also reduced caspase–3 immunoreactivities, which increased with GM application. It was shown that EPO and HP have attenuating effects on GM–induced kidney injury, and especially the intense antioxidant content of HP has a regulatory effect on the negative consequences of oxidative stress.

    Tanacetum nitens (Boiss. & Noë) Grierson is an aromatic perennial herb used in Turkish traditional medicine to treat headache, fever, and skin diseases. This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition, antioxidant, enzyme inhibition, and cytotoxic properties of T. nitens aerial parts. Organic solvent extracts were prepared by sequential maceration in hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol while aqueous extracts were obtained by maceration or infusion. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and LC-DAD-MS analysis allowed the identification and quantification of different phytoconstituents including parthenolide, tanacetol B, tatridin B, quinic acid derivatives, β-sitosterol, and glycoside derivatives of quercetin and luteolin. The type and amount of these phytochemicals recovered by each solvent were variable and significant enough to impact the biological activities of the plant. Methanolic and aqueous extracts displayed the highest scavenging and ions-reducing properties while the dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts exerted the best total antioxidant activity and metal chelating power. Results of enzyme inhibition activity showed that the hexane, ethyl acetate, and dichloromethane extracts had comparable anti-acetylcholinesterase activity and the latter extract revealed the highest anti-butyrylcholinesterase activity. The best α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibition activities were obtained from the hexane extract. The dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts exhibited the highest cytotoxic effect against the prostate carcinoma DU-145 cells. In conclusion, these findings indicated that T. nitens can be a promising source of biomolecules with potential therapeutic applications.

    One of the successful practical applications of chaos theory and nonlinear dynamics is chaos-based cryptology studies. In this study, a new chaotic system is proposed. The proposed chaotic system generator model has a simple algorithmic structure. In addition to, generated chaotic systems have rich dynamics. It has been examined whether this system has potential advantages, especially for information security applications. As a result of the analysis and experimental studies, it is seen that the study makes many contributions to the literature. The simple mathematical generator structure has the potential to reduce computational complexity, which is an important problem for cryptology applications. One of the most comprehensive studies has been realized for chaos-based substitution box designs. 70,000 different substitution box structures have been generated. It has been known that the highest nonlinearity value that can be achieved for designs that transform chaotic system outputs into substitution box structures is 106.75 today. It has been shown that this value may be higher. The new highest nonlinearity value is calculated as 107. Side channel analysis has been examined for substitution box structures with the highest nonlinearity value among the substitution boxes generated in the study. Analysis results show that the proposed new substitution box structures may have an advantage for application-oriented attacks. Among the generated substitution box structures, 289 substitution box structures with a nonlinearity value of 106 and above are presented as a public dataset for researchers to use. In addition, 3 different random sequences with a length of 1 million-bit were produced with the proposed map, and the NIST SP 800–22 test was applied. Test results for all datasets were successful. In this way, the proposed map can also be used as a random number generator.

    Effect of ecosystems and agricultural practices on Physalis peruviana phytochemicals

    Aydin, Sevinc

    As a result of the gradual decrease in natural resources and the increase in chronic diseases caused by unhealthy nutrition, the inclination among consumers toward food products that are both biologically active and beneficial, and environmentally friendly, is increasing. Therefore, environmental factors and agricultural practices that affect the amount of biologically active ingredients in these products have gained importance and become the subject of numerous scientific studies. Goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) is a yearly plant that is grown in mild climates, and it is a plant that is first planted in seed trays for primary development and then in the field for fruit production. Both its leaves, trunk, and roots have medicinal properties and its fruit is rich in components such as vitamins A and C, iron and phosphorus, flavonoid, and carotenoid which have made this plant, and particularly its fruit, more attractive. The amount and biological effect of these components, which are known as secondary metabolites, vary depending on the soil and the climate where this plant is grown and agricultural practices. With this compilation study, our aim is to summarize the studies that examined the positive or negative effects of environmental conditions that affect goldenberry cultivation and agricultural practices applied to increase the yield of the bioactive phytochemical ingredients of this plant, and thus to provide insight for relevant studies to be conducted.
