    Investigation of Low-Temperature Behavior of Stone Mastic Asphalt Mixtures Modified with Paraffin and Crumb Rubber

    Akpolat, Mustafa; Kök, Baha Vural; Yilmaz, Mehmet

    In hot mix asphalts at low temperatures, cracks occur due to thermal tension and these cracks cause water to leak inside the pavement and the pavement gets deformed sooner than expected. In order to improve the properties of bituminous mixtures, mostly polymer type additives are used in the modification of the bitumen. These types of improvements usually have positive effects on the high-temperature behavior of the mixture. In this study, semi-circular bending test, which is the most commonly used method in the literature to investigate the low-temperature behavior of bituminous mixtures, was performed. In the study, the resistance of stone mastic asphalt mixtures, which were prepared with modified bitumen with a constant 3% of paraffin and various amounts of crumb rubber, to crack formation and its movement was identified. As a result, it was concluded that the effects of additives on crack formation and its movement is varied and the relation between the fractured aggregate surface areas and the fracture toughness of the mixture can be determined by the image processing method.

    Enhancing the potential of employing thermosetting powder recyclates as filler in LLDPE by structural modifications

    Kismet, Yilmaz; Wagner, Manfred H.

    Potential of using powder coating recyclates as filler material for polyethylene compounds was investigated. Due to their strong adhesion to the metal surface during compounding at extrusion temperatures higher than 100 degrees C, the coating powder recyclates were chemically modified to facilitate its processing by extrusion and injection molding at higher temperatures. For this purpose, the coating powder recyclates were first hydrolyzed with addition of an alcohol as swelling agent. The deactivated recyclates were mixed at different ratios with the matrix polymer, a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). The mixtures obtained were then compounded by extrusion and subsequently injection molded to plates to produce specimens for testing. The resulting samples were characterized mechanically by tensile, bending, and impact strength tests. In summary, the powder coatings recyclates can be processed as filler for thermoplastic material, without any adhesion problems up to 160 degrees C and 180 degrees C in the extruder and in the injection molding machine, respectively.

    Çakilcioglu, Ugur; Paksoy, Mehmet Y.; Babacan, Ebru Yuce; Polat, Ridvan

    The micromorphological and anatomical characteristics of three species of Chrysochamela genus have been comparatively presented by using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The micromorphological studies are related to the epidermal and seed surface. In anatomical studies, cross sections of the stems and leaves were examined and biometric measurement of cell and tissues were made. The stem and leaf anatomy of the genus were described. In addition, the stomatal index rate and stomatal index of these species were calculated. The leaf is dorsiventral in mesophyll-type. Except its C. noeana taxon, stellate trichomas are coincided in other taxon. Stoma can be observed on both sides of the leaf. Whereas stoma index rates of this genus were found in the range of 0.7 - 1.2, stoma types were observed as aniocytic and anomocytic. Seed surface of the genus can be found in reticulate, verrucae or in verrucaerugose types. In conclusion, the presence/absence of trichome over stem and leaves, the presence/absence of collenchyma in middle the vascular region, the seed shape, epidermal cell shape, and the characteristics of anticlinal boundaries and periclinal cell walls were found to be the important characters for identification of the Chrysochamela genus.

    Burhan, Yucel; Das, Resul

    Social networks: social communication platforms where individuals exhibit their attitudes and behaviors, gestures and mimics in symbolic actions in a virtual environment. Their swift development and wide usage proportion rises social networks' necessity and popularity. People communicate with each other and share some data like idea, thinking, photo, video and location. When this data is processed, very important information is obtained about the users. In this light, it is possible to make important estimates about the users. To analyze a network, the network model, properties of graph structure, criteria and metrics must be calculated first. In this study, similarity calculation between the subjects which authors studied has been done. In this application, five suitable models (Jaccard Index, Sorensen Index, Common Neighbor, L. H. Newman Index and Salton Index methods) are applied to the data set generated by randomly selected twenty writers. In order to evaluate the calculation results; the results of the similarity calculation between authors with known linkages are used as reference values. Comparisons of obtained similarity values with reference values result in new connections. These links reveal that authors can publish articles together.

    SEASONAL CHANGES IN ANTIOXIDANT DEFENCE SYSTEM ON BROWN TROUT (SALMO SP.) IN MUNZUR STREAM

    Can, Erkan; Cikcikoglu-Yildirim, Nuran; Erdogan, Devrim

    The aim of the present study was to evaluate the oxidant and antioxidant status of the indigenous brown trout (Salmo sp.) caught from Munzur stream (Tunceli, Turkey) at different seasons in different tissues. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) levels were measured. These measurements were read in a microplate reader using commercial kits with ELISA method. At the end of the study, significant variations of oxidative stress biomarkers were observed between seasons and tissues. The results of this study show that oxidative stress responses in tissues of Salmo sp. are sensitive to the tissues and the seasons in relation to the contaminants, climatic parameters and reproductive period in Munzur stream. The selected parameters are in valuable biomarkers for monitoring of water systems since at molecular levels they give an early warning signal of xenobiotics on aquatic organisms. It was concluded that the measurement of antioxidants biomarkers known such as SOD, CAT and GSH-Px activities, TAS and TOS levels may also be promising indicators of an oxidant impact on aquatic organisms.

    Erol, Nida Demirtas; Erdem, Omer Alper; Çakli, Sukran

    In the present study, protein hydrolyzate was obtained from the head region from the wastes produced during filleting of seabream (Sparus aurata), seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and trout (Oncorhyncus mykiss) cultured in Turkey. After the functional and antioxidant properties of the obtained products were determined, the post-storage stability of the protein hydrolysates stored frozen for 6 months was determined by analysis. In this study, degree of hydrolysis, functional properties (protein solubility, emulsion properties, foaming properties, color properties, water holding capacity (WHC)), antioxidant properties (DPPH (1,1 -diphenyl-2-pic-ryhydrayl) free radical scavenging capacity, antioxidative activity, metal chelating) and determination of aminoacid sequencing were carried out in protein hydrolysate. To evaluate the effect of storage time on fish protein hydrolysates stored at -18 degrees C after production, the above-mentioned analyzes including functional and antioxidative properties were repeated at the end of the 6 month storage period. Results were interpreted using statistical analysis. According to the functional and antioxidative properties of fish protein hydrolyzate, the highest antioxidant activity was determined in seabream head hydrolyzate. The production yield of all fish protein hydrolysates is 5%. The functional and antioxidant properties of fish protein hydrolysates varied according to fish species.

    THE ROLE OF GLUTATHIONE IN THE DETOXIFICATION OF PERCHLOROETHYLENE

    Sahilli, Yeliz Cakir

    Environmental factors have important roles in the development of cancer. Especially, the exposure of chemicals existing in the workplace with people is a very important issue. People at such places are exposed to chemicals more especially via respiratory and dermal route. Thus, their health is under the risk. Dry cleaning centers are intensively subjected to PCE, which is a common chemical used at these work places, and the risk of cancer is very high for them. The main aim of the present study is to investigate, if PCE exposure results in glutathione efflux from human erythrocytes. In the present study, the changes in intracellular and extracellular non-protein sulfhydryl (NPSH) levels were determined in PCE exposed erythrocytes. PCE significantly depleted intracellular NPSH level in a time and concentration-dependent manner. PCE significantly increased the NPSH levels measured in the extracellular media. Along with the change in extracellular nonprotein thiol levels, significant increases in extracellular glutathione levels were detected. Erythrocyte membranes were not damaged over the course of PCE exposure as indicated by the absence of lactate dehydrogenase activity in the extracellular media. Utilization of MK571 an MRP inhibitor decreased the rate of glutathione efflux from erythrocytes suggesting a role for this membrane transporter in the process. The results of the present study indicate that erythrocytes efflux glutathione when exposed to PCE. In addition to glutathione oxidation, glutathione efflux also contributes to intracellular loss of glutathione when exposed PCE.

    PERSISTENCE OF TWO SULPHONYLUREA HERBICIDES IN WHEAT PLANTED FIELD, THRACE REGION IN TURKEY

    Erguven, G. O.; Yildirim, N.

    This study is concerning the environmental fate of chlorsulfuron and tribenuron-methyl herbicide in a wheat planted field at Thrace Region in Turkey. Use of herbicides containing these active ingredients is advised in the Marmara region in Turkey for cereal agriculture. The study was conducted in wheat planted fields where these herbicides were used. Over nine months, in each two or three week periods, soil samples were obtained from selected sampling points and herbicide residuals were determined by gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) and high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). As a result of these studies, persistence of chlorsulfuron was determined as approximately 1.2% at the second half of June, 2016 and tribenuron methyl seemed to be approximately 1% at the end of May, 2016. The results of the present study showed that chlorsulfuron is generally adsorbed weakly by soil when compared to tribenuron-methyl. pH, organic material, climatic factors and clay content of soil were the main factors influencing the adsorption and desorption properties of the herbicides. The results of this study demonstrated that chlorsulfuron and tribenuron-methyl residues in the soil might depend on their different chemical structures, soil temperature, precipitation and humidity.
