Yılmazer Polat, Berivan; Uysal, Mucteba
Geopolymer mortars have emerged as an environmentally friendly binding alternative to conventional cement. However, the gaps in their structure and early cracks reduce their service life. There are various bacterial healing studies in the literature that have been conducted on cemented mortar cracks. Nevertheless, the present study focuses on the healing of metakaolin based geopolymer mortar cracks. For this purpose, mortars with different molarities were prepared with two different endospore forming methods that did not require encapsulation or mixed chemical processes for the bacterial crack repairs on the geopolymer mortars. These mortars were then left in different healing environments with crack damage. The samples were tested using physical, optical and internal structure analyses. As a result, the cracks were improved by reducing the amount of gaps in the samples. The results showed that it is possible to bacterially repair early cracks in new generation ceramic materials with alkali-activated mortars and reduce the amount of gaps.

Icier, Filiz; Ozmen, Duygu; Cevik, Mutlu; Cokgezme, Omer Faruk
In this study, licorice root was successfully dried using two different radiative dryers (Carbon fiber-assisted cabin drying-CFACD and infrared drying-ID), and their effects on some drying characteristics, quality properties, and energy-exergy efficiency were investigated. Page and Verma models were the best models describing the drying behavior of licorice root for CFACD and ID methods, respectively. ID protected total phenolic content (TPC) better than CFACD while the changes of color properties were higher for ID. Energy and exergy efficiencies of CFACD were 40.20 ± 0.20% and 31.87 ± 0.10%, respectively, while these values were 10.39 ± 0.33% and 9.99 ± 0.27% for ID, respectively. Practical applications: The radiative heating method has advantages such as shorter drying time, high-energy efficiency, and high heat transfer coefficient compared to convective drying methods. Infrared drying (ID) is known as the common energy efficient drying method for food materials while the information on the performance of other type of radiative carbon fiber assisted drying (CFACD) systems is limited. In this study, the use of carbon fiber assisted cabin dryer for drying of licorice was evaluated by comparing other radiative type infrared dryer. The drying characteristics of licorice samples having high amount of phenolic contents were compared both in terms of quality and energy performance characteristics of dryers. Energy and exergy efficiencies of CFACD were found to be higher than ID. In addition, more homogeneous temperature distribution and less color change were obtained in the CFACD process. It was determined that the CFACD process could be recommended for drying of licorice samples rather than ID.

Karabacak, Volkan; Sancar, Taylan; Selcuk, Azad Saglam; Buyukdeniz, Yusuf
This article presents the results of the first paleoseismological studies conducted along the Ulubat Fault and their inferences on the earthquake behavior of the south branch of the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ). The Ulubat Fault is divided into 3 segments according to its geometric characteristics and paleoseismological behavior. Along the fault segments, at least 6 paleoearthquake event have been distinguished in the last 16 thousand years with paleoseismolgic fault excavations. The dating results correlated with the historical records show that the latest surface ruptures along the Ulubat Fault occurred with the earthquakes of <161/170 AD (I=IX), 1143 AD (M=6.0) and 1855 AD (M=7.3), respectively, and migrated to the west. Although it does not provide sufficient statistical evaluation opportunity, the paleoseismological data presented in this study proves that the segments of the NAFZ south branch do not present characteristic earthquake behavior in terms of recurrence period and this irregularity may be due to the multi-fragment geometry of the fault zone in the region.

Gürler, Nedim; Paşa, Salih; Temel, Hamdi
In this work, pure potato starch (PPS) purified from waste potato starch, was recovered and used. PPS was modified by 3-APTMS (3-(aminopropyl) trimethoxy silane) to manufacture a crosslinked film. To obtain a bilayer PPS-3APTMS-PLA film, the polylactic acid (PLA) was employed with PPS-3APTMS by casting method. The resulting materials, PPS-3APTMS and PPS-3APTMS-PLA were characterized by attenuated total reflectance fourier transform ınfrared (ATR-FTIR), x-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The silane-doped bilayer films have more thermal stability compared to PPS. The mechanical, solubility, swelling, water vapor permeability, optical properties and biodegradability under controlled compost conditions were examined. When the tensile strength of the PPS, PPS-3APTMS and PPS-3APTMS-PLA films were evaluated, the tensile strength (TS) were to 1.017±0.35 MPa, 1.437 ± 0.19 MPa and 10.918 ± 1.30 MPa, respectively. The PPS and PPS-3APTMS films were not elongation at break, while it was found about 21.94 ± 9.48 for the bilayer PPS-3APTMS-PLA film. The solubility, swelling, water vapor permeability, and transparency decreased for bilayer films. The water vapor permeability of PPS, PPS-3APTMS and PPS-3APTMS-PLA films were obtained as 31.69±0.4 × 10−7 g s−1 m−1 Pa−1, 28.96±0.4 × 10−7 g s−1 m−1 Pa−1, and 14.26±0.3 × 10−7 g s−1 m−1 Pa−1, respectively. Then, the biodegradability of films was performed under controlled compost conditions for 46 days according to ISO-14,855 standard. The biodegradation of PPS, PPS-3APTMS and PPS-3APTMS-PLA was also calculated as 9.30%, 5.45% and 5.08%. Biodegradation of PPS-3APTMS film decreases compared to PPS. Furthermore, the biodegradation value of bilayer film, PPS-3APTMS-PLA, was also decreased due to the slower degradation tendency of PLA. The contribution to the reusability of waste starch and the modifying of starch for food packaging and coating applications are the novelty aspects of the current study.

In this study, the bioremediation capacity of three isolates of Bacillus aryabhattai, Pseudomonas azotoformans and Sphingomonas pseudosanguinis and their consortia at glyphosate added soil medium investigated via the reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total organic carbon (TOC) parameters in filtrate waters obtained from a designed bioremediation setup. Additionally, mortality assays were performed on the filtrate waters with model organism Daphnia magna. According to the results of the experiments, at the end of the 11 days, the highest COD reduction rate seen in media with S. pseudosanguinis as 92.1% while TOC rate was 69.13% in consortia media. While the mortality rate was 10, 10 and 5% on B, P and S application groups at the end of the 72th respectively, these rates were 100% in control group at the end of the 48th. According to the results obtained from bioremediation and mortality assessment, these bacteria can reach the high bioremediation rate one by one and in consortia media.

Cevik, Mutlu
The verjuice sample (14.5 ± 0.2% total soluble solid [TSS] content) was concentrated (at 102 ± 2°C evaporation temperature) until reach 50% TSS content by applying ohmic heating at 13, 15, 17, and 19 V/cm voltage gradients. The total process times up to 50% TSS content were determined as 2,100, 1,500, 1,200, and 1,020 s for 13, 15, 17, and 19 V/cm, respectively. The electrical conductivity values increased until reach 32% TSS content and then showed a decrease until the final TSS content. The total energy consumption values increased as the voltage gradient decreased. The total power and specific water removal ratio (SWRR) values decreased as the voltage gradient decreased. The efficiency of ohmic heating assisted concentration process increased with the applied voltage gradient and it ranged from 71.27 to 75.22%. By evaluating the effects of ohmic heating conditions applied in the present study on total process time, total energy consumption, and process efficiency, 19 V/cm voltage gradients could be recommended to be optimum evaporation conditions of verjuice concentration in case of decreasing process time and higher energy efficiency. Practical applications: Fruit juices are generally concentrated to extend their shelf life. Therefore, for concentration purposes, various techniques, such as thermal evaporation, freezing methods, and membrane techniques, are applied in the fruit juice industry. This technique has some disadvantages, such as high energy requirements, the formation of undesirable compounds, high initial investment cost, and high failure rate to reach the desired total soluble solid content. The ohmic heating method, which is among the alternative heating methods, has advantages such as high energy efficiency, shorter processing time, higher product quality, and not causing wastewater. As a result of this study, it is thought that the verjuice samples were successfully concentrated up to 50% TSS content by using the ohmic heating method and this method can be used as an alternative method instead of the traditional method due to higher process efficiency and shorter process time.

Di Prima, Simone; Stewart, Ryan D.; Abou Najm, Majdi R.; Ribeiro Roder, Ludmila; Giadrossich, Filippo; Campus, Sergio; Angulo-Jaramillo, Rafael; Yilmaz, Deniz; Roggero, Pier Paolo; Pirastru, Mario
Water-repellent soils usually experience water flow impedance during the early stage of a wetting process followed by progressive increase of infiltration rate. Current infiltration models are not formulated to describe this peculiar process. Similarly, simplified methods of soil hydraulic characterization (e.g., BEST) are not equipped to handle water-repellent soils. Here, we present an adaptation of the BEST method, named BEST-WR, for the hydraulic characterization of soils at any stage of water-repellency. We modified the Haverkamp explicit transient infiltration model, included in BEST for modeling infiltration data, by embedding a scaling factor describing the rate of attenuation of infiltration rate due to water repellency. The new model was validated using analytically generated data, involving soils with different texture and a dataset that included data from 60 single-ring infiltration tests. The scaling factor was used as a new index to assess soil water repellency in a Mediterranean wooded grassland, where the scattered evergreen oak trees induced more noticeable water repellency under the canopies as compared to the open spaces. The new index produced results in line with those obtained using the water drop penetration time test, which is one of the most widely test applied for quantifying soil water repellency persistence. Finally, we used BEST-WR to determine the hydraulic characteristic curves under both hydrophilic and hydrophobic conditions.
AtıfScopus26OpenAlex26İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2021Scopus SJRQ2Failure modes and effects analysis based on neutrosophic analytic hierarchy process: method and application
Yucesan, Melih; Gul, Muhammet
Failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a commonly used method in risk evaluation. In this paper, a novel FMEA model based on neutrosophic analytic hierarchy process (NAHP) is proposed to overcome shortcomings of the risk prioritization of classical FMEA. Neutrosophic sets approach real-world decision-making problems from a three-aspect structure (i.e., truthiness, indeterminacy and falsity). Therefore, initially, AHP is merged with neutrosophic sets to assign importance weights to risk parameters in FMEA. The encountered failure modes are then prioritized with respect to the previously weighted risk parameters. Each element in AHP comparison matrices is considered as triangular neutrosophic numbers, and score functions are used to transform NAHP elements to deterministic values. The flexibility of determining the weight to each parameter of FMEA (severity, occurrence and detection) and evaluation of each failure mode against these parameters are more well-suited to the real decision-making condition. Finally, a case study in the textile industry is provided to show the applicability of the novel model. Sensitivity and comparative analysis are also performed to validate the results.

Gul, Muhammet; Mete, Suleyman; Serin, Faruk; Celik, Erkan
This chapter applies a novel occupational risk assessment approach which merges TODIM with the Fine–Kinney method under the intuitionistic fuzzy set concept. Risk parameters of Fine–Kinney and OHS experts are weighted by an intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) aggregation operator. Hence, hazards are quantitatively evaluated and prioritized using the proposed approach. To illustrate the novel risk assessment approach, processes of the gun and rifle assembly line of a factory are handled. A comprehensive risk assessment is carried out to improve operational safety and reliability in the industry. We adapt intuitionistic fuzzy sets in the existing study since they reflect uncertainty with the aid of their membership and nonmembership functions in decision-making better than classical fuzzy extensions. An additional sensitivity analysis by changing the attenuation parameter of TODIM is performed to test the validity of the approach. Finally, the Python codes in the implementation of the proposed approach are given for scholars and practitioners for usage in further studies.

The main objective of the present work was to develop a method for the simultaneous and comprehensive analysis of (poly-)phenolic and flavonoid compounds with liquid chromatography with diode array and mass spectrometric detection and its application to green asparagus samples. To this end, a representative set of polyphenols was used to develop the method. A through method validation was carried out with these. The method was applied to asparagus samples known as a healthy vegetable being rich in bioactive compounds. Polyphenol contents of asparagus samples were determined by carrying out quantitative and qualitative analyses by LC-DAD-ESI/MS. In this context asparagus sample extracts were obtained using solvents of different polarity. The results were evaluated statistically and showed that rutin is the major phenolic compound in asparagus. This demonstrates the versatility of this rapid and sensitive method for the simultaneous analysis of (poly-)phenolic and flavonoid compounds which was successfully applied to asparagus samples.

Barim, Esra; Akman, Feride
Purpose: This study aimed the synthesis and theoretical/experimental characterization of novel benzofuran-based acrylamide monomer. Design/methodology/approach: Novel N-substituted acrylamide monomer, i.e. N-[2–(4-Bromo-benzoyl)-benzofuran-3-yl]-acrylamide (BBFA), was synthesized by reacting (3-Amino-benzofuran-2-yl)-(4-bromophenyl) methanone with acryloylchloride at 0–5oC. Nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), infrared (FT-IR) and UV-Visible spectrophotometer were used to elucidate the chemical structure of BBFA. Computational studies were performed using the DFT (B3LYP) method on the basis of 6-31 + G (d, p) using Gaussian 09 W and Gauss View 5.0 package in addition to the VEDA program, gauge-independent atomic orbital (GIAO) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. Findings: Molecular geometry and vibration assignments of the BBFA monomer were calculated. The molecular structure of the monomer was examined. Both longest and shortest bonds were determined in the structure. The nucleophilic and electrophilic regions of the monomer were determined. The theoretical spectroscopic data of the monomer were compared with the experimental data; both were consistent with each other. The chemical reactivity of the monomer was also determined. Originality/value: The synthesized BBFA monomer can be evaluated in many areas; from medicine to industry (such as textiles) owing to the presence of various active functional groups. Indeed, acrylamide copolymers are remarkable materials for polymer science and industry. The data produced in this study is original and adds to the scientific community.

Gul, Muhammet; Mete, Suleyman; Serin, Faruk; Celik, Erkan
Neutrosophic sets are initially recommended by Smarandache (First international conference on neutrosophy, neutrosophic logic, set, probability, and statistics. University of New Mexico, Gallup, NM, pp 338–353, 2002 [1]). These sets reflect uncertainty and vagueness in real-world problems better than classical fuzzy set theory. It takes into consideration three decision-making situations called indeterminacy, truthiness, and falsity. In Zadeh traditional fuzzy set theory, there is just membership function fuzzy set degree. But, in neutrosophic environment, it considers three membership functions. Unlike intuitionistic fuzzy sets, an indeterminacy degree is considered. In this chapter, we applied a special form of neutrosophic set as single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNs) with the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) under the concept of Fine–Kinney occupational risk assessment. Since the mere TOPSIS has failed to handle imprecise and vague information which usually exist in real-world problems, we follow the integration of SVNs and TOPSIS. To demonstrate the applicability of the novel approach, a case study of risk assessment of a wind turbine in times of operation was provided. Comparative analysis with some similar approaches and sensitivity analysis by changing the weights of Fine–Kinney parameters are carried out. Finally, the Python implementation of the proposed approach is executed to be useful for those concerned in the future.

Cevik, Mutlu; Icier, Filiz
Frozen minced meat samples having different fat contents (2%, 10%, or 18%) were thawed using two different standard thawing methods (RT: +4°C refrigeration thawing, URWT: +4°C under running water thawing), and a novel alternative method (ohmic thawing-OT at voltage gradients of 10, 13, and 16 V/cm). The drip loss values of meat samples changed in the range of 0.01%–1.65%. For OT, the change in the color increased as the fat content increased. OT shortened the thawing time, on average, by 64% and 87% compared to URWT and RT, respectively, while it resulted in similar effects on proximate composition and microbiological load with standard thawing methods. This novel thawing method did not cause any mutagenic formation, and the metal migration was in allowable limits. It is thought that the results showed that OT method has the potential to be applied as a novel alternative method for thawing of meat products. Practical applications: For long-term storage of meat and meat products, freezing is commonly used. However, frozen food must be thawed before use. For this reason, two different conventional thawing methods were recommended by US-FDA. However, conventional thawing methods have some disadvantages such as long process times, high energy consumptions, and waste water formation. Ohmic thawing has shorter process time, high energy efficiency, and does not produce any waste water. In this study, frozen minced meat samples (with fat content of 2%, 10%, or 18%) were thawed using different thawing conditions (RT, URWT, and OT at voltage gradients of 10, 13, and 16 V/cm). OT shortened the thawing time. Drip loss was found to be high for OT. The effect of OT on microbiological load and proximate composition was not different from conventional thawing. OT method did not cause any mutagenic formation.

Gul, Muhammet; Lo, Huai-Wei; Yucesan, Melih
The importance of risk assessment in the context of occupational health and safety by manufacturing operators strengthens their hands in solving the problems they may encounter in business processes related to health and safety. One of the most important phases of conducting an exhaustive occupational risk assessment is to analyze potential hazards and associated risks quantitatively. Since manufacturing is one of the industries that require workers to be highly exposed to work, creating a safer environment to reduce occupational injuries is an important task. This study proposes a novel fuzzy risk assessment approach developed by integrating Fermatean fuzzy sets (FFSs) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method for ranking potential hazards in manufacturing. FFSs are a new version of fuzzy set theory that covers the intuitionistic fuzzy sets and Pythagorean fuzzy sets. This version of the fuzzy set is crucial in the decision-making process to handle uncertain information more easily and reflect uncertainty better. A linguistic scale under Fermatean fuzzy documentation has also been developed for experts/decision makers to disclose their judgments easily. Occupational risk analysts can benefit from this approach since FFSs are used for the first time in occupational risk assessment, and the approach is presented in integration with TOPSIS. The proposed approach is applied in the aluminum plate-manufacturing process risk assessment. In the conclusion of the implementation, risks arising in the production are prioritized. In addition, this study made comparisons with other fuzzy methods to demonstrate the proposed approach’s difference and practicality. This study’s results can support practitioners and risk analysts in formulating the improvement measures to increase the safety of the work environment further.

Sancak-Uzunpazar Fault Zone is N40E-trending sinistral shear zone that has a 50 km length and 5 km width between Karakocan (Elazığ) in southwest and Kaynarpınar (Bingöl) in northeast. The fault extends parallelly to East Anatolian Fault is bounded by the North Anatolian Fault to the northeast and Karakoçan Fault to the southeast. Herein, morphological features, the tectonic setting of the Sancak-Uzunpazar Fault Zone and the first paleoseismological studies on it is represented. The Sancak-Uzunpazar Fault Zone is consist of two parallel segments (called East and West) with a 1.5 km distance. Conducted field studies and aerial photogrometry show that the segments exhibit morphological features like faceted surfaces, faulted scarps, shutter ridges, and offset streams. Especially, average offsets are about 7-12 m along the eastern segment while the cumulative maximum offset reaches 1.1 km. Moreover, revealed paleoseismological data show evidence of at least two surface ruptures during Holocene. Obtained morphological data reveal that the Sancak-Uzunpazar Fault Zone may have a relatively lower slip rate when compared to other active faults in the region and the reflection of the slip rate to the morphology is more evident in the eastern segment.

Sevindik, Emre; Aydogan, Melike; Paksoy, Mehmet Y.
In this study, phylogenetic analysis of Turkish Conringia (Brassicaceae) species was conducted based on nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrITS) and chloroplast DNA (trnL-F) sequences. In addition, the relationships between the sequences of some Brassicaceae family species retrieved from NCBI, and Conringia species were documented. All of the plant specimens were collected at their flowering and vegetation periods from different regions of Turkey, and brought to the laboratory. Total genomic DNA was extracted using the GeneMark kit. In PCR analyses, ITS4 and ITS5A primers were used for the amplification of the nrITS region, while the trnLe and trnLf primers were used for the cpDNA trnL-F region. The DNA sequences obtained were then edited using BioEdit and FinchTV, and analyzed using MEGA 6.0 software. Neighbor joining (NJ) and bootstrap trees were constructed in order to identify the relationships among Conringia taxa. The nrITS sequences ranged between 573 and 672 nucleotides, while the trnL-F sequences ranged between 346 and 764 nucleotides. The divergence values of nrITS sequences differed between 0.177 and 0.00 and divergence values of trnL-F sequences differed between 0.902 and 0.00. NJ tree generated using nrITS and trnL-F sequences consisted of two clades. In trees generated with both the nrITS and trnL-F sequences, C. orientalis, C. grandiflora and C. austriaca appeared within the same group. In addition, according to the phylogenetic analysis results obtained with other Brassicaceae species, it is revealed that the Conringia genus is polyphyletic.

Sahin, Emre; Orhan, Cemal; Balci, Tansel Ansal; Erten, Fusun; Sahin, Kazim
Magnesium (Mg) deficiency may affect bone metabolism by increasing osteoclasts, de-creasing osteoblasts, promoting inflammation/oxidative stress, and result in subsequent bone loss. The objective of the present study was to identify the molecular mechanism underlying the bone protective effect of different forms of Mg (inorganic magnesium oxide (MgO) versus organic magnesium picolinate (MgPic) compound) in rats fed with a high-fat diet (HFD). Forty-two Wistar albino male rats were divided into six group (n = 7): (i) control, (ii) MgO, (iii) MgPic, (iv) HFD, (v) HFD + MgO, and (vi) HFD + MgPic. Bone mineral density (BMD) increased in the Mg supplemented groups, especially MgPic, as compared with the HFD group (p < 0.001). As compared with the HFD + MgO group, the HFD + MgPic group had higher bone P (p < 0.05) and Mg levels (p < 0.001). In addition, as compared to MgO, MgPic improved bone formation by increasing the levels of osteo-genetic proteins (COL1A1 (p < 0.001), BMP2 (p < 0.001), Runx2 (p < 0.001), OPG (p < 0.05), and OCN (p < 0.001), IGF-1 (p < 0.001)), while prevented bone resorption by reducing the levels of RANK and RANKL (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the present data showed that the MgPic could increase osteogenic protein levels in bone more effectively than MgO, prevent bone loss, and contribute to bone formation in HFD rats.

The authors regret that the total evapotranspiration shown in Fig. 7 (821 mm) was the measured H2O flux for the whole two year measurement period. The correct average value for the two years was 411 mm yr−1, or 33% of the measured annual average precipitation. This left 827 mm yr−1 as the “estimated runoff” (see corrected figure). The sign of the average NEE values in the Abstract and Conclusions should be negative. All other information is correct, including the equations and interpretations. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. [Figure presented]
