Shamshuddin, M.D.; Akkurt, Nevzat; Saeed, Anwar; Kumam, Poom
The energy transition to enhance heat transport during the flow of ternary hybrid nanofluid comprised of Copper (Cu), Iron oxide (Fe3O4), Silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles and Polymer as base liquid over a revolving disk surface has been reported. From the several existing techniques, adding nanoparticles to standard working fluids is an effective approach that might dramatically improve the rate of heat transfer. The Hall and radiation impacts are also considered. A mathematical model is developed by assuming the flow as incompressible and purely radial in a cylindrical coordinate system and appropriate similarity variables are introduced for problem simplification and dimensionless analysis. The solution of complex generated PDEs was calculated using semi analytical method known as Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM) after translating them into corresponding ODEs. It has been observed that the consequences of thermal radiation, dissipation term, unsteadiness and rotation parameters boost the energy transmission rate and enhances the heat transfer rate of tri hybrid nanofluids. However, Cu-Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the base fluid remarkably magnifies the energy transmission rate. The unitary ternary hybrid nanofluid (Cu, Fe3O4, SiO2) has higher velocity profiles as compared to unitary nano fluid (Cu) and hybrid nano-fluid (Cu-Fe3O4).

Gul, Muhammet; Yucesan, Melih; Karacahan, Mehmet Kayra
University laboratories are high-risk working environments where many chemicals coexist to conduct teaching and scientific research. The frequent occurrence of such chemical-related occupational accidents in recent times highlights the importance of ensuring these units’ safety in universities for researchers, students, workplaces, and institutions. In occupational safety risk assessment, very few studies have grouped risks. Many of them also ignored some important risk parameters. Overcoming these disadvantages, this study developed a multi-parameter and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) sorting-based methodology for the occupational safety risk assessment of chemicals in a university laboratory. First, six different risk parameters (probability, severity, exposure, detectability, worsening factor, sensitivity to non-usage of personal protective equipment) were determined. The weight value was calculated using the best–worst method (BWM). Then, a risk priority value and classification for each chemical with TOPSIS-Sort, the MCDM sorting method. Finally, some control measures are recommended to reduce the safety risk of the laboratory. The applicability of the proposed methodology has been tested with a real case study. The methodology is intended to adapt to university laboratories’ risk assessment and become a primary reference for university safety analysts.

Yaman, Hümeyra; Sanyürek, Nesrin Karaca
Haploid plant production is of great importance to shorten the breeding period in plant breeding programs. Obtaining pure lines in plant growing programs require an intensive work with huge labor and time. Obtaining one hundred percent homozy-gous pure lines is a key point for the improvement and development of new cultivars. Haploid plants with a single set of homozygous chromosomes have become a valuable tool in plant breeding. Dihaploid plants that are homozygous at all loci with dou-bling of their chromosomes can be propagated by seed and reach full homozygosity in a single generation. Traditional methods take seven years to reach homozygosity. Dihaploidization methods provide significant advantages in terms of gaining homozy-gosity in a short period of one year and bringing pure lines into agriculture. Anther culture and irradiated pollen technique are among the most widely used techniques in this respect; where physical or chemical agents are used to induce mutated pollen grains and anthers that are subsequently employed to develop dihaploids through in vitro cultures. These techniques are a good source to facilitate gene mapping, cyto-genetic research, and evolutionary studies. Irradiated pollen culture techniques have been applied to many oilseed crops to obtain pure lines. This study highlights some salient features of producing dihaploids using irradiated pollen grains and their maintenance.

Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet
For safe transportation on the railway, the faults occurring in its components must be detected and repaired. Recently, fault detection methods have been developed on railway visual data using methods such as image processing, machine learning and deep learning. Especially since deep learning-based algorithms have a self-learning structure, the data used in model training and testing significantly affect the performance of the model. In the proposed method within the scope of this study, railway visual data were obtained using autonomous drone. YOLOv5 deep neural network is trained to detect faults that may occur in various components such as rail, fastener, sleeper and ballast in the railway. In order to increase the efficiency of the model, images obtained under different lighting conditions were included in the data set. In addition, by using the OpenCV library, the video stabilization process and the vibrations that occur during data acquisition in the video are eliminated. Thus, with the proposed method, it has been shown that the errors due to many components in the railway can be detected with a mAP rate of 94.5%.

Fırat, Tülay; Kar, Filiz
As technology advances and human population grows, we must meet our diverse needs while minimising harm to the environment. One solution is to prioritise recycling and using second-hand consumer goods. In this study, PET flakes were depolymerised by glycolysis using different molar ratios of glycol such as propylene glycol(PG), triethylene glycol(TEG) and polyethylene glycol(PEG 400) in the presence of two different catalysts: zinc acetate- zinc sulphate. As a result, glycated products (polyols-PO) were obtained. The obtained polyols were then used to synthesise polyurethane films (PU) via acetone process. The thermal and chemical characterisations of the polyurethane films (PU) were analysed. In similar studies, zinc acetate was used as a transesterification catalyst for the glycolysis process. In this study, the same process was carried out using zinc sulphate and zinc acetate. Zinc sulphate was found to be a cheaper and eco-friendlier catalyst alternative to zinc acetate for the glycolysis process.

Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is a specialized structure used in the field of electromagnetic waves and radio frequency (RF) engineering. It is designed to exhibit selective transmission or reflection properties based on the frequency of the incident electromagnetic waves. This article describes the design, construction, and analysis of a textile-based band-stop frequency selective surface for use in the highly EM-polluted GSM, Wi-Fi, LTE, and WiMAX bands. A full-wave EM solver called CST Microwave Studio was used to develop and simulate the unit cell of the proposed FSS at the relevant frequency. In this study, embroidered and screen-printed textile based FSSs were designed. According to the results of this study, it was demonstrated that both embroidery and screen printing FSSs exhibit resonance at a frequency of 3.5 GHz. The screen printing method yielded the best results in terms of resonance frequency sensitivity, while the embroidery method showed a resonance frequency shift. It was observed that the stitch directions and density are important parameters in the embroidery method. Gaps between the embroidery paths in the production of embroidered FSSs resulted in differences from simulations due to the disruption of the structural integrity of the unit cell. Consequently, textile-based FSSs offer advantages over traditional FSSs. This study highlights the potential of textile FSSs as an effective means of reducing electromagnetic pollution, and suggests that further improvements in the design and production processes of textile FSSs can be made.

Karataş, Lale; Dal, Murat
The village house located in the Mersin Kanlıdivane archaeological site is one of the oldest settlements in the ruins, built in the second century. The house is mainly built of a yellowish beige limestone. This stone, which is the main material of the building, shows many deterioration patterns today. The aim of the study is to determine the dominant deterioration pattern of the stones in the village house structure in the Mersin Kanlıdivane archaeological site and to investigate the source of the deterioration. In order to investigate the deterioration patterns in the structure, the images obtained by UAV photogrammetry were interpreted and the types of deterioration were mapped. In the study, it is seen that even the types of material problems based on the smallest detail can be determined based on virtual visual inspection, thanks to UAV photogrammetry, without observing the structure in situ with UAV photogrammetry. The findings obtained in the study shows that the color change and surface loss deterioration on the stone surfaces has reached advanced levels as a result of the structure's exposure to the strong climate-induced sun and water effects for centuries. The results of the study show that the main damage observed on the stone surface of the structure is caused by the erosion by the effect of water. Restoration methods should be tried to stabilize the deterioration and replace the most degraded stones. It is recommended to use water-repellent surface coatings to protect the natural stone, especially against the intense water effect in the building.

Etli, Serkan; Güneyisi, Esra Mete
In recent years, in the light of technological developments, the utilization of composite members that enable the use of superior properties of concrete and steel together in earthquake-resistant building design has become widespread. In this study, 5-, 8-, 10-, 13- and 15-story composite moment-resisting framed buildings were designed using composite beams and concrete filled steel tube columns. The effect of using steel braces and the variation of the link length of the eccentric steel braces on the seismic demand of the composite buildings were investigated. For this, eight different cases with braces were considered and compared with the bare structure. The first case had concentric braces (having no link), and the other seven cases had eccentric steel braces with different link lengths classified as short, medium and long. The nonlinear dynamic response of braced and non-braced composite structures was evaluated under the effect of earthquake groups of far-field, near-field with and without pulse effects. Each earthquake group includes ten different ground motion records. SeismoStruct which is a fiber element-based software was used in modeling and analysis of the structures. Seismic behavior of the case studied structures was investigated comparatively through the demand parameters such as the maximum inter-story drift ratios, the maximum roof drift ratios and the deformation states in the structural elements. It was observed that the inclusion of the steel braces provided significant gains in dissipating seismic energy acting through composite buildings and the beam/column deformations decreased considerably, depending on the length of the link and the height of the structure. In some cases, significant damage was monitored in the link members; however, this type of deformation was limited.

Aydoğmuş, Ramazan; Erdemoğlu, Murat; Uysal, Turan
Effects of pre-treatment methods such as calcination for thermal activation and intensive milling for mechanical activation on the aluminum (Al) recovery by acid leaching of preliminarily enriched pyrophyllite ore via attrition scrubbing and froth flotation were investigated. XRD patterns of the calcined and the intensively milled samples were compared to determine the changes during the pre-treatment processes. Hot HCl solution was used for dissolution of aluminum to determine the Al recoveries from variously enriched and variously pre-treated pyrophyllite ore samples. Specific thermal and milling energies consumed per unit amount of ore were calculated, and the ideal activation method was suggested by comparing the activation methods in terms of energy consumption. Mechanical activation of the pyrophyllite concentrate obtained by attrition scrubbing rather than froth flotation was suggested for higher recoveries of aluminum from by acidic leaching. It was determined that operating cost (in terms of energy) of the mechanical activation is lower and aluminum recovery is higher than thermal activation. It was concluded that mechanical activation instead of thermal activation is more economical and environmentally friendly method.

Uysal, T.
Various morphological parameters that affect the flotation recovery of sphalerite were modelled and optimized using the response surface method (RSM). The effects of roughness value, shape factor, and collector concentration were investigated using the central composite full design method. The results were evaluated by analysis of variance. The optimum roughening time was found to be 25 minutes, the optimum roughness value was 2.9071 μm, and the optimum collector concentration was 0.001 M. Using these values, a flotation recovery of 98.01% was obtained. Similarly, in shape factor studies, the optimum grinding time was 15 seconds, the optimum roundness value 0.7421, and the optimum collector concentration 0.0009 M, which resulted in a flotation recovery of 94.30%. The average error between the optimization results and the experimental results was estimated to be less than 6%, and the R2 values were greater than 90%. The study shows that RSM can be effectively applied in finding the economic optimum condition for obtaining maximum flotation recovery with minimum reagent consumption.

Artuğer, Fırat
Encryption provides security in cases such as storing confidential information or transmitting it over a network. Today, block cipher algorithms are generally used for encryption. Undoubtedly, one of the most important units of block cipher algorithms to ensure confidentiality is substitution box (s-box) structures. Because s-boxes are nonlinear structures, making the algorithm resistant to differential cryptanalysis. Therefore, the higher the nonlinearity value of the s-box, the stronger it will be. In this study, a new algorithm is proposed to generate s-boxes with high nonlinearity value. In the proposed algorithm, Lorenz and Chua systems, which are 3D chaotic maps, are used for the initial population. The s-boxes produced with these chaotic maps were then increased to 110.5 using the whale optimization algorithm (WOA). WOA is one of the important optimization algorithms developed in recent years and was used for the first time in s-box production in this study. Looking at the results of the analysis, the proposed method has outstripped most of the other existing studies, thanks to effective 3D chaotic maps and WOA.

Ali, Shahbaz; Nadeem, Sohail; Akkurt, Nevzat; Ali Ghazwani, Hassan; Eldin, Sayed M.
Introduction: Flow dynamics due to the peristaltic pumping has been the topic of great interest for the researchers. But numerical and analytical analyses for the peristaltic motion are limited where flow domain is deformed real-time. Research on peristalsis has a limitation where theoretical aspects of walls motion are considered, neglecting the real time deformation of the walls. Objectives: This paper aims to propose a more reliable and accurate numerical methodology for peristaltic motions to address the above-mentioned challenge. Stream traces, velocities, and pressure drops along the tube is to be visualized more accurately. Methods: In present study a finite volume based dynamic mesh motion method is adopted to analyze the peristaltic motion of a non-Newtonian Quemada fluid in an axisymmetric channel. The walls and interior domain of the channel is dynamically deformed for a sinusoidal wave traveling on boundary. Results: Simulation of unsteady flow behavior for time t=0s to 2s and amplitude ratio Φ=0.2,0.4,and0.6. predicts fluid trapping phenomenon. Rotation of fluid particles is more prominent for higher amplitude ratios. Pressure gradient increases with increasing amplitude ratios. Conclusion: A novel dynamic mesh method is proposed for peristaltic pumping. It provides more accurate and more physical results for stream traces; pressure drops and velocities along the tube. A limited case of the study validates the theoretical and analytical results already presented in literature; hence the method is reliable.

Ozdemir, Oguzhan; Erten, Fusun; Er, Besir; Orhan, Cemal; Komorowski, James R.; Sylla, Sarah; Perez Ojalvo, Sara; Sahin, Kazim
Background: A preclinical study reported that the combination of an amylopectin/chromium complex (ACr) of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) significantly enhanced muscle protein synthesis (MPS). This study was conducted to determine the effects of the addition of ACr complex to a pea/rice (PR) protein on MPS, insulin, muslin levels, and the mTOR pathway in exercised rats. Methods: Twenty-four rats were divided into three groups: (i) exercise (Ex); (ii) Ex + PR 1:1 blend (0.465 g/kg BW); (iii) Ex + PR + ACr (0.155 g/kg BW). On the day of single-dose administration, after the animals were exercised at 26/m/min for 2 h, the supplement was given by oral gavage. The rats were injected with a bolus dose (250 mg/kg BW, 25 g/L) of deuterium-labeled phenylalanine to determine the protein fractional synthesis rate (FSR) one h after consuming the study product. Results: The combination of PR and ACr enhanced MPS by 42.55% compared to the Ex group, while Ex + PR alone increased MPS by 30.2% over the Ex group (p < 0.0001) in exercised rats. Ex + PR plus ACr significantly enhanced phosphorylation of mTOR and S6K1 (p < 0.0001), and 4E-BP1 (p < 0.001) compared to the Ex (p < 0.0001). PR to ACr also significantly increased insulin and musclin levels (p < 0.0001) in exercised rats. Additionally, compared to Ex + PR alone, Ex + PR + ACr enhanced mTOR (p < 0.0001) and S6K1 (p < 0.0001) levels. Conclusion: These data suggested that PR + ACr may provide an alternative to animal proteins for remodeling and repairing muscle by stimulating MPS and mTOR signaling pathways in post-exercised rats. More preclinical and clinical human studies on combining pea/rice and amylopectin/chromium complex are required.

Akpolat, Mustafa
The MasterLife PAV110 Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additive’s rutting resistance in pure and Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS)-modified binders was examined using MSCR testing. Multiple Stress Creep Recovery (MSCR) tests were conducted on seven binders. The study’s findings indicated that the incorporation of WMA resulted in an increase in the Jnr values of both pure binders and binders modified with SBS at stress levels of 0.1 and 3.2 kPa. This finding implies that the occurrence of rutting will be negatively impacted. On the other hand, the performance level categorization showed that WMA additives had no impact on the performance levels of pure and SBS-modified binders. Since the Jnr and average percentage Recovery (R) values at 3.2 kPa, 1%, and 1.5% PAV110 additives exhibited similar properties, it was determined that the optimum usage rate in terms of cost was 1%.

Six extracts (water, ethanol, ethanol-water, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, and n-hexane) of Astragalus caraganae were studied for their biological activities and bioactive contents. Based on high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS), the ethanol-water extract yielded the highest total bioactive content (4242.90 µg g−1), followed by the ethanol and water extracts (3721.24 and 3661.37 µg g−1, respectively), while the least total bioactive content was yielded by the hexane extract, followed by the dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts (47.44, 274.68, and 688.89 µg g−1, respectively). Rutin, p-coumaric, chlorogenic, isoquercitrin, and delphindin-3,5-diglucoside were among the major components. Unlike the dichloromethane extracts, all the other extracts showed radical scavenging ability in the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay (8.73–52.11 mg Trolox equivalent [TE]/g), while all extracts displayed scavenging property in the 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assay (16.18–282.74 mg TE/g). The extracts showed antiacetylcholinesterase (1.27–2.73 mg galantamine equivalent [GALAE]/g), antibutyrylcholinesterase (0.20–5.57 mg GALAE/g) and antityrosinase (9.37–63.56 mg kojic acid equivalent [KAE]/g) effects. The molecular mechanism of the H2O2-induced oxidative stress pathway was aimed to be elucidated by applying ethanol, ethanol/water and water extracts at 200 µg/mL concentration to human dermal cells (HDFs). A. caraganae in HDF cells had neither a cytotoxic nor genotoxic effect but could have a cytostatic effect in increasing concentrations. The findings have allowed a better insight into the pharmacological potential of the plant, with respect to their chemical entities and bioactive contents, as well as extraction solvents and their polarity.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the level of attachment of fathers to the fetus and the factors affecting such attachment in the prenatal period. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 463 fathers whose spouses were 24–38 weeks pregnant in the obstetrics outpatient clinic of the University Research and Practice Hospital Gynecology Department between December 2019 and April 2020. The “Information Form” and “Intrauterine Father Attachment Scale” (IFAS) were used as data collection tools for this study. Results: In this study, the total score of Intrauterine Father Attachment Scale was found to be 62.22 ± 10.66 (min = 34, max = 87). The mean Intrauterine Father Attachment Scale scores of the fathers who had a good income level had a less marriage period, had less children, had a high educational level, who want to have more children, and whose spouse’s pregnancy was not risky were found to be higher than those of the fathers who did not (p >.05). Furthermore, of the fathers those who were previously knowledgeable about baby care and were experienced in baby care thought that both of the parents should be responsible for the care of the baby, perceived the support given by his family as sufficient, thought that marriage means happiness, wanted to attend their wives’ childbirth in the delivery room, wanted to attend pregnancy schools, and thought that the social relations affect the baby positively obtained higher scores from the IFAS (p >.05). Conclusion: Regression results have shown that getting information about baby care, who is mostly responsible for a baby’s care, educational status, and status of wanting to join pregnant schools have a significant impact on Intrauterine Father Attachment Scale scores.

This paper investigates the role of precious metals in risk management (diversification, hedging, safe haven, leading and lagging roles) in the stock markets of BRICS-T (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and Turkiye) countries using DCC-IGARCH-t-copula (Dynamic Conditional Correlation Integrated Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity - t-copula) and rolling Hong causality with daily data from the period 2015 to 2022. Our empirical findings indicate that, despite the existence of bidirectional variance causality, precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) are effective risk management instruments, except for hedging. Moreover, to mitigate risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, investors should increase the weight in their portfolios of precious metals, except for gold. The leading role of precious metals in variance causality can help policy makers to design appropriate policies for curbing market vulnerability.

In this study, the effect of Oak Ash (OA), a biomass waste, on the mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt (HMA) was investigated and its usability in road engineering was evaluated. For this purpose, firstly, various physical and chemical properties of B70/100 penetration class pure asphalt, OA and crushed limestone aggregate were determined. Then, the optimum asphalt content (OAC) of the mixture was determined according to the Marshall mix design method using aggregate and pure asphalt. Based on this determined content, pure and OA added (1%, 2%, 4% and 6% by weight of asphalt) modified hot mix specimens were prepared. Pure and OA added modified mixture specimens were subjected to Marshall stability, indirect tensile strength (ITS), moisture damage, indirect tensile stiffness modulus (ITSM), static-dynamic creep and calorie tests. According to the results obtained, it has been determined that the OA additive has an improving effect on all mechanical properties of the mixtures, especially on the permanent deformation resistance at high temperatures. It is considered that the use of this additive at a rate of 2% in the hot mixture can increase the resistance of the pavement against deterioration and reduce the maintenance and repair costs of the road.
