    Effect of Dried Colza Plant as a Filler on Mechanical Properties, Density and Water Absorption of Low Density Polyethylene

    Kismet, Yilmaz

    In this study, mixtures have been obtained by putting dried colza plant as a filling material into low density polyethylene in ratios of 10 %, 20%, 30% in weight, and standard tensile experiment samples are produced from the mixtures by using plastic injection machine. The changes in the mechanical properties, densities and water absorption capacities of the samples have been analyzed and compared. To ensure homogeneity, the mixtures are first prepared in mechanical mixers, and then passed through extrusion machines. The material is granularized at the outlet of the extrusion machine by using crushers. Finally, with the plastic injection machine, this granule material is molded on the standard tensile experiment samples.

    A Time Series Approach for Precipitation in Turkey

    Balibey, Mesut; Türkyilmaz, Serpil

    The climate that has a dynamic structure varies continuously. Basic climatological features of any region depend on many meteorological variables, such as precipitation and temperature records. The changes in these two variables reveal important clues about climate variations. Turkey is one of the sensitive areas for climate variation around the world. In this study, statistical analysis is applied to historical data set consisted of monthly precipitation totals (mm.) which are provided by the Turkish State Meteorological Service(TSMS) for 1999-2010 period in Turkey. Furthermore, a sinusoidal model for each region obtained by using a time series method is proposed in order to obtain a sinusoidal form for the precipitation to each region. Besides a basic form of Frequency Domain Techniques, usual Box-Jenkins ARIMA approach is applied in this study. In conclusion, it is observed that the sinusoidal model predictions are more appropriate than ARIMA techniques and usual generalized linear model (GLM) techniques.

    Optimization of lipase production on agro-industrial residue medium by Pseudomonas fluorescens (NRLL B-2641) using response surface methodology

    Tanyol, Mehtap; Uslu, Gulsad; Yönten, Vahap

    The aim of our research was to explore the most cost-efficient and optimal medium composition for the production of lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens (NRLL B-2641) culture grown on sunflower oil cake (SuOC) by applying response surface methodology (RSM). The oil cake was used instead of carbon sources. Peptone, ammonium sulphate and the carbon source (SuOC) were the most important factors as it is obligatory for microbial growth. Subsequently, the optimum values for the carbon source, peptone and ammonium sulphate were found to be 11.10% (w/v), 1.18% (w/v) and 0.83% (w/v), respectively. Experiments carried out under optimum conditions revealed a maximum lipase activity of 10.8 U mL(-1), which was achieved after 48 h of fermentation. The obtained results were finally verified with batch experiments carried out under the optimum conditions evaluated and it was demonstrated that the SuOC from agro-industrial residue as substrates can be used as an inexpensive base (carbon source) for the production of lipase by P. fluorescens (NRLL B-2641).

    Biochemical response of crayfish Astacus leptodactylus exposed to textile wastewater treated by indigenous white rot fungus Coriolus versicolor

    Aksu, Onder; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Yildirim, Numan; Danabas, Durali; Danabas, Seval

    The discharge of textile effluents into the environment without appropriate treatment poses a serious threat for the aquatic organisms. The present study was undertaken to investigate biochemical response of crayfish Astacus leptodactylus exposed to textile wastewater (TW) treated by indigenous white rot fungus Coriolus versicolor. Glutathione S-transferase (GST), cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) levels in hepatopancreas and abdomen tissues of crayfish exposed to untreated, treated, and diluted rates (1/10) in both TW during 24 and 96 h were tested. Physiochemical parameters (electrical conductivity (EC), chemical oxygen demand (COD), pH, and total dissolved solid (TDS)) of TW were determined before and after treatment. Physiochemical parameters of TW decreased after treatment. The GST activity and AchE were generally increased, but CYP1A1 activity was decreased in hepatopancreas tissue of crayfish exposed to different kinds of untreated TW. After treatment by indigenous white rot fungus (C. versicolor), GST and CYP1A1 activities were returned to control values, while AchE activities were increasing further. In this study, only GST and CYP1A1 activities of A. leptodactylus confirmed the efficiency of TW treatment with C. versicolor.

    Removal of Phosphate from Aqueous Solutions by Chemical- and Thermal-Modified Bentonite Clay

    Tanyol, Mehtap; Yonten, Vahap; Demir, Veysel

    The study investigated phosphate adsorption from aqueous solutions using chemical- and thermal-modified bentonite in batch system. The adsorbent was characterized by SEM, BET, and FTIR spectroscopy. Contact time, beginning phosphate concentration, pH of the solution, and the effects of the temperature on phosphate adsorption capacity were determined by a series of experimental studies. In a wide pH range (3-10), high phosphate removal yields were obtained (between 94.23 and 92.26 %), and with the increase in temperature (from 25 to 45 degrees C), phosphate removal increased. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were used to determine the sorption equilibrium, and the results demonstrated that equilibriumdata displayed better adjustment to Langmuir isotherm than the Freundlich isotherm. Phosphate sorption capacity, calculated using Langmuir equation, is 20.37 mg g(-1) at 45 degrees C temperature and pH 3. Mass transfer and kinetic models were applied to empirical findings to determine the mechanism of adsorption and the potential steps that control the reaction rate. Both external mass transfer and intra-particle diffusion played a significant role on the adsorption mechanism of phosphate, and adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order-type kinetic. Furthermore, thermodynamic parameters (Delta H degrees, Delta G degrees, Delta S degrees) which reveal that phosphate adsorption occur spontaneously and in endothermic nature were determined. The results of this study support that bentonite, which is found abundant in nature and modified as an inexpensive and effective adsorbent, could be used for phosphate removal from aqueous solutions.

    REPRESENTATION OF 'THE OTHER' IN CARTOONS PUNKY AND LES BLAGUES DE TOTO

    Kenes, Hatice Coban

    It can be claimed that many cartoons of domestic and international origin such as Caillou, Conni, Niloya, Pepee, Canim Kardesim, Biz Ikimiz, Can, which are broadcast and re-broadcast in mainstream media, are constructed upon 'sterile' characters. The protagonists in these idealized cartoons are urban middle and upper class families. Mothers and fathers are attentive not only towards each other but also towards their children, with no difficulty in expressing their affection. Fights, problems and even insignificant disputes are non-existant and life continues free of any problems. On the other hand, not all spectators of these cartoons can be claimed to associate with this 'sterile' media environment presented. Children of different ethnic and religious origins; children who are disabled, handicapped, poor; children who have a single parent and/or raised in unhappy environments or in disquiet do not exist in such cartoons. Within this framework, this study problematizes the representation of 'other' children in the cartoons, which are products of popular culture which mediate the understanding of daily experiences and the 'other' by the spectators. In this context this study aims to reveal how the 'other' children are represented in cartoons entitled Punky and Les Blagues De Toto which fall beyond the scope of the ordinary narrative of mainstream cartoons and which constitute rare examples within the national media.

    Gentamicin is commonly used against gram-negative microorganisms. Its therapeutic use is mainly limited by nephrotoxicity. This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of rutin on oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagy in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. The rats were treated with saline intraperitoneally (group I), 150 mg/kg of rutin orally (group II), 80 mg/kg of gentamicin intraperitoneally for 8 d (group III), or 150 mg/kg of rutin plus 80 mg/kg of gentamicin (group IV). The serum urea, creatinine, kidney malondialdehyde (MDA), and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and protein concentration were measured, and renal histopathology analysis and immunohistochemical staining were performed. Rutin pretreatment attenuated nephrotoxicity induced by gentamicin by reducing the urea, creatinine, and MDA levels and increasing the SOD, CAT, and GPx activity, and the GSH levels. The rutin also inhibited inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cleaved caspase-3 and light chain 3B (LC3B), as evidenced by immunohistochemical staining. The present study demonstrates that rutin exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-autophagic effects and that it attenuates gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

    Arginase activity and total oxidant/antioxidant capacity in cows with lung cystic echinococcosis

    Hanedan, Basak; Kirbas, Akin; Kandemir, F. Mehmet; Ozkaraca, Mustafa; Kilic, Kubra; Benzer, Fulya

    The aim of this study was to investigate arginase activity, total oxidant capacity (TOC), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and oxidative stress index (OSI) in cows with lung cystic echinococcosis (CE). The subjects were 20 cows with lung CE (parasitized group) and 20 healthy cows (control group). A significant increase in arginase activity, TOC, and OSI, and a significant decrease in TAC were found in the parasitized group compared with the control group (P < 0.001). Histopathological examination revealed a fibrous tissue reaction with inflammatory cell infiltration surrounding the CE in the lungs. The study revealed that increased arginase activity, TOC, and OSI levels and decreased TAC levels occurred in lung CE in cows. Increased arginase activity may be an important parameter for pulmonary fibrosis associated with lung CE in cows. Oxidant production due to chronic inflammation, as evidenced by the increased OSI levels, might contribute to persistent lung injury.

    Effect of semen extender supplementation with cysteine on postthaw sperm quality, DNA damage, and fertilizing ability in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

    Ögretmen, Fatih; Inanan, Burak Evren; Kutluyer, Filiz; Kayim, Murathan

    Amino acids have an important biological role for prevention of cell damage during cryopreservation. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of cysteine on postthaw sperm motility, duration of sperm motility, DNA damage, and fertility in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Sperm collected from 10 individuals was cryopreserved in extenders containing different cysteine concentrations (2.5, 5, 10, and 20 mM). Semen samples diluted at the ratio of 1:9 by the extenders were subjected to cryopreservation. After dilution, the semen was aspirated into 0.25-mL straws; the straws were placed on the tray, frozen in nitrogen vapor, and plunged into liquid nitrogen. DNA damage was evaluated by comet assay after cryopreservation. Our results indicated that an increase in the concentration of cysteine caused a significant increase in the motility rate and duration of sperm in the common carp (C carpio; P < 0.05). Comparing all concentrations of cysteine, the best concentration of cysteine was 20 mM. Higher postthaw motility (76.00 +/- 1.00%) and fertilization (97.00 +/- 1.73%) rates were obtained with the extender at the concentration of 20 mM. Supplementation of the extender with cysteine was increased the fertilization and hatching rate and decreased DNA damage. Consequently, cysteine affected the motility, fertilization, and DNA damage positively, and extenders could be supplemented with cysteine. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
