Tanyol, Mehtap; Tevkur, Servet
In the present work, the process of electrocoagulation was utilized to remove total organic carbon (TOC) and color from slaughterhouse wastewaters and response surface methodology (RSM) inte-grated central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize the operating factors of the pro-cess, that used iron electrodes. The optimal values for the removal of TOC and color were achieved with the quadratic regression model obtained from CCD. The optimum points for current density, inter-electrode distance, and reaction time obtained by the numerical analysis were 22.97 mA/m2, 12.03 mm, and 78.95 min for TOC, while these values were 23.08 mA/m2, 15.84 mm, and 80.77 min for color, respectively. At the optimum values, maximum TOC and color removal were obtained as 94.77% and 99.32%, respectively. The results indicated that the electrocoagulation process is an effective treatment technique for the removal of TOC and color from slaughterhouse wastewaters.

Aksoy, M.E.; Aksakal, B.; Aslan, N.; Dikici, B.
Metallic implants are functionalized with coatings due to the need to protect against biological corrosion in the body. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) has desirable biocompatibility and structural properties, but poor mechanical properties limit its use as a standalone coating. In this study, boron-doped hydroxyapatite (B-HAp) biocomposites containing 5, 10, and 15% boron by weight were synthesized by the sol-gel method and applied as a coating to NiTi using electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The deposition was carried out for 60, 90, and 120 s, and sintering at 750 °C for 75 minutes under vacuum. The coated substrates were then characterized by XRD, SEM, and FT-IR, and their adhesion strengths and in-vitro corrosion behaviors in simulated body fluid were compared with uncoated samples. The results showed that the microporous powders formed well-bonded structures, which positively affect adhesion strength. The highest adhesion strength (30 MPa) and corrosion resistance were achieved with 15 wt.% B-HAP coating at 120 s deposition time and 76.5 μm coating thickness.

Etli, Serkan; Cemalgil, Selim; Onat, Onur
An experimental program was conducted to investigate the fresh properties, mechanical properties and durability characteristics of the self-compacting mortars (SCM) produced with pumice powder and Artificial Lightweight Fine Aggregate (aLWFA). aLWFA was produced by using fly ash. A total of 16 different mixtures were designed with a constant water-binder ratio of 0.37, in which natural sands were partially replaced with aLWFA and pumice powder at different volume fractions of 5%, 10% and 15%. The artificial lightweight aggregates used in this study were manufactured through cold bonding pelletisation of 90% of class-F fly ash and 10% of Portland cement in a tilted pan with an ambient temperature and moisture content. Flowability tests were conducted on the fresh mortar mixtures beforehand, to determine the self-compacting characteristics on the basis of EFNARC. To determine the conformity of the fresh mortar characteristics with the standards, mini-slump and mini-V-funnel tests were carried out. Hardened state tests were conducted after 7, 28 and 56 days to determine the flexural strength and axial compressive strength respectively. Durability, sorptivity, permeability and density tests were conducted at the end of 28 days of curing time. The test results showed that the pumice powder replacement improved both the fresh state and the hardened state characteristics of the mortar and the optimum mixture ratio was determined as 15%, considering other studies in the literature. In the aLWFA mixtures used, the mechanical and durability characteristics of the modified compositions were very close to the control mixture. It is concluded in this study that mixtures with pumice powder replacement eliminated the negative effects of the aLWFA in the mortars and made a positive contribution.

The impact of the pandemic and the lockdown has been more devastating than expected on the world economy. It is essential to formulate strategies in real-time. In this research, a multicriteria decision-making model for increasing the preparedness level of sales departments when facing COVID-19 waves and future pandemics is proposed. The model is comprised of 8 criteria, 29 sub-criteria, and 7 alternatives. The study is based on the integration of the AHP and TOPSIS techniques. AHP is used for calculating the criteria and sub-criteria weights. While, TOPSIS is used for calculating the preparedness level, ranking the companies, and identifying the weaknesses that should be addressed for increasing their effectiveness in the current market scenario. The model is developed with the aid of an experts’ group from the electrical appliance sector and studies from the reported literature. This application is completely novel in the literature and has been applied in the wild with remarkable companies in Colombia. A case study in the electrical appliance sector is presented as a pilot study but it should be noted that the methodology is flexible and scalable in any scenario.

Yucesan, Melih; Gul, Muhammet
Failure prioritization process is described by identifying potential failures and its effects, quantifying their priorities and determining appropriate ways to mitigate or control. In the literature, many approaches are suggested to prioritize failures and associated effects quantitatively. Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches are forefront that they can express the failures verbally based on decision-makers’ judgments. They explain different types of uncertainties, which are generally modeled by fuzzy sets. However, fuzzy sets focus only on one membership value in decision-making. At this point, neutrosophic sets are more suitable than classical fuzzy sets by proposing three membership values named truth-membership, indeterminacy-membership and falsity-membership. Therefore, in this study, a novel approach based on the neutrosophic best and worst method (NBWM) is proposed and a case study is also performed in the implant production. The best and worst method (BWM) is merged with neutrosophic sets since it has fewer pairwise comparisons while determining the importance weights of failures. To show the applicability of the approach, a case study in an implant manufacturing plant that produces many products, including implants in different shapes and sizes in Turkey is carried out. Besides the case study, a comparative study is performed to test the validity of the proposed NBWM approach. This approach can make the decision-making process more dynamic in real-world problems with indeterminate and inconsistent information, considering the benefits of BWM and neutrosophic sets either individually or in integration. The present study contributes to the knowledge both methodologically and in an application by proposing NBWM for failure assessment problems for the first time in the literature and creating an adaptive model for manufacturing and other industries.

Turgut, Yigit Emrah; Aslan, Alper
This research aims to reveal factors affecting Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) integration in learning environments in Turkey. The meta-synthesis method is used to make in-depth analysis and to interpret qualitative research findings on this issue. Through inclusion and exclusion criteria, 60 studies among 907 candidate studies accessed from databases named Web of Science, Education Resource Information Center (ERIC) and the Turkish Academic Network and Information Center (ULAKBIM) are included in this research. As a result of analyses, it is revealed that ICT integration into learning environments in Turkey is affected by five factors; students, educational material, infrastructure, management, and teachers. Considering these factors, it has been found that certain factors become prominent namely: the ICT and pedagogy competence of teachers; students’ ICT competence; a lack of technical equipment and technical support; a lack of educational materials; the attitudes of school administrators; and the quality and lack of in-service training for ICT. It is concluded that the factors affecting the ICT integration in education are directly or indirectly related to each other, and that ICT integration should be addressed with all its stakeholders and phases as a whole.

The antioxidant parameters of black pine (Pinus nigra J.F. Arnold) needles samples collected from different areas in the province of Diyarbakir, Turkey were studied. Black pine needles samples were collected from three different locations (Egil, Kosuyolu, and Diyarbakir industrial area) in the province of Diyarbakir in summer and winter seasons. The activity of enzymatic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of the samples were determined by ELISA method. Results showed that SOD enzyme activities of the samples collected in summer from Kosuyolu and the industrial area decreased compared to the control group, but increased in the samples collected in winter from the same areas. When compared to the control group, it was observed that the MDA levels of the samples collected from Kosuyolu and the industrial area increased.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2021A holistic FMEA approach by fuzzy-based Bayesian network and best–worst method
Yucesan, Melih; Gul, Muhammet; Celik, Erkan
Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a risk analysis tool widely used in the manufacturing industry. However, traditional FMEA has limitations such as the inability to deal with uncertain failure data including subjective evaluations of experts, the absence of weight values of risk parameters, and not considering the conditionality between failure events. In this paper, we propose a holistic FMEA to overcome these limitations. The proposed approach uses the fuzzy best–worst (FBWM) method in weighting three risk parameters of FMEA, which are severity (S), occurrence (O), and detection (D), and to find the preference values of the failure modes according to parameters S and D. On the other side, it uses the fuzzy Bayesian network (FBN) to determine occurrence probabilities of the failure modes. Experts use a procedure using linguistic variables whose corresponding values are expressed in trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, and determine the preference values of the failure modes according to parameter O in the constructed BN. Thus, the FBN including expert judgments and fuzzy set theory addresses uncertainty in failure data and includes a robust probabilistic risk analysis logic to capture the dependence between failure events. As a demonstration of the approach, a case study was conducted in an industrial kitchen equipment manufacturing facility. The results of the approach have also been compared with existed methods demonstrating its robustness.

Based on the design concept of a fourth-generation smart pipe network system, this paper innovatively proposes a new TOTS (Two-supply/One-return, triple pipe structure) arrangement method for district heating systems. Moreover, to accurately predict the heat loss due to the pipeline operation of the multi-pipe system, based on the multipole calculation method, a new heat loss theoretical analytical model for the TOTS was created; additionally, a corresponding three-dimensional numerical simulation model was established, which was analyzed and numerically solved. The results showed that in comparison with thermal loss data measured by Danfoss et al., the above analytical and numerical models have a high accuracy, and the deviation is within 2%. Additionally, through calculations, it was found that the distance between the heating pipes is an important factor that affects the total heat loss from the new multi-control heating system and the actual heat exchange between pipes.

Curcumin positively affects performance during exercise and subsequent recovery. However, curcumin has limited bioavailability unless consumed in larger doses. In the current study, we examined the impact of a new formulation of curcumin, Next‐Generation Ultrasol Curcumin (NGUC), which is relatively more bioavailable than natural curcumin on exhaustion time, grip strength, muscle damage parameters, and serum and muscle proteins. A total of 28 rats were randomly grouped as control (C, non‐supplemented), exercise (E, non‐supplemented), E+NGUC100 (supplemented with 100 mg/kg BW NGUC), and E+NGUC200 (supplemented with 200 mg/kg NGUC). Grip strength and exhaustion time were increased with NGUC supplementation (p < 0.0001). Creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lactic acid (LA), myoglobin, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations were reduced in serum, and muscle tissue in NGUC supplemented groups (p < 0.05). In contrast, NGUC supplementation elevated the antioxidant enzyme levels compared to the non‐supplemented exercise group (p < 0.01). Additionally, inflammatory cytokines were inhibited with NGUC administration (p < 0.05). NGUC decreased PGC‐1α, p‐4E‐BP1, p‐mTOR, MAFbx, and MuRF1 proteins in muscle tissue (p < 0.05). These results indicate that NGUC boosts exercise performance while reducing muscle damage by targeting antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and muscle mass regulatory pathways.

In this study, the novel azo dye FeII, CoII, ZnII, and RuII complexes with an azo dye ligand (L: (E)-4-((4-methoxyphenyl)diazenyl)-3-methyl-1H-pyrazol-5-amine) were synthesized. The structures of the complexes were characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, UV-Vis, mass spectra (FeII and CoII), NMR spectra (only diamagnetic ZnII and RuII), thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA). All of the newly synthesized compounds were tested for their biochemical properties, including enzyme inhibitory and antioxidant activities. According to the in vitro ABTS, DPPH, CUPRAC, and FRAP antioxidant methods, the ligand and its metal complexes showed close antioxidant activities to the standards (BHA, BHT, ascorbic acid, and α-tocopherol). Enzyme inhibitions of the metal complexes were investigated against glutathione S-transferase (GST), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes. The best inhibition values (Ki) were observed for Ru(II) complex against GST (14.36 ± 2.16 µM), AChE (16.86 ± 2.74 µM), and BChE (14.12 ± 2.04 µM).

The Ereğli-Ulukışla Basin which is the focus of this study is situated at the south-eastern edge of the Central Anatolian Cenozoic basins (Tuzgölü, Haymana, Çankırı-Çorum, and Sivas), and is divided into two sub-basins, the Aktoprak (AT) and Hacıbekirli-Tepeköy (HT). These sub-basins mainly comprise a stratigraphically discontinuous and laterally variable series, represented by ‘fluvio-lacustrine’ siliciclastic and carbonate sediments deposited over a wide range of environments, including meandering and braided rivers, coastal fluvial and fan deltas, mixed carbonate-siliciclastic shores, dry lake flats, and coal-bearing swamps. In the Ereğli-Ulukışla Basin, higher palaeotopographic conditions existed in the AT because of the uplift of the Central Anatolian Plateau during late Middle Miocene (Serravallian)-early Late Miocene (Tortonian) and the subsequent uplift of the Taurus Mountains in the latest Miocene (Messinian) as deduced in the Tepeköy region (northeast) of the HT sub-basin. Diversity and abundance of archaic pollen (Normapolles) in the pollen biostratigraphy decreased from the Eocene to Oligocene, while forms with advanced angiosperm morphology (post-Normapolles), were observed with the increase in post-Normapolles during the Miocene. The dominance of woody angiosperms in the pollen assemblages, and increasing variety and abundance of ‘open herbs’ and shrub pollen from the Early Miocene to Late Miocene defines an important change in flora. Furthermore, the palaeoclimatic conditions changed from humid-subtropical to warm-temperate during the sediment deposition in the Ereğli-Ulukışla Basin. Recurrent arid phases during the Late Miocene are indicated by the deposition of reddish caliche conglomerates in broad dry lake flats (HT), and evaporites in local playa lakes (AT), respectively.

Unal, Asuman; Robert Hillman, A.; Ryder, Karl S.; Cihangir, Salih
Polyaniline itself can be converted to its conductive form from its insulating form by applying an oxidising potential in which polyaniline is converted to its positive charge state. Anions in the target solution are driven into the positively charged polymer film by electrostatic force, and this process is reversed when a reduction potential is applied. Consequently, interfacial processes of polyaniline modified electrode make it viable to remove undesirable ions from the target solution. During this process, polyaniline operates as an ion-exchanger by directing specific ions at definite potentials, which is the principle of the electrochemically switched ion-exchange technique. Therefore, polyaniline can be employed as a convenient material to perform as a new ion-exchanger modified film in an acidic environment. On the other hand, an abrupt decrease in the electroactivity of polyaniline at elevated pH values restricts its use in such practical applications. To overcome this problem, copolymerization of aniline and o-toluidine is expedient as it will be able to enhance the electrochemical properties of polyaniline. Hence, several copolymers were synthesised in the presence of different aniline and o-toluidine feedstock ratios. It was found that the surface coverage value of a representative poly(aniline-co-o-toluidine) copolymer film was 139.7 nmol cm−2 compared with 76 nmol cm−2 for pure Pani under identical conditions. In addition, the redox cycling in monomer-free NaF solutions showed that the poly(aniline-co-o-toluidine) film exhibited excellent reversibility between redox reactions at pH 6.60. These outcomes clearly illustrate the contribution of o-toluidine to the electrochemical properties of polyaniline at raised pH medium.

Houari, A.; Mokhtari, M.; Bouchikhi, A.S.; Polat, A.; Madani, K.
FGM (functionally graded materials) have experienced rapid expansion in recent years in several industrial fields. The analysis of their mechanical behavior by the finite element method requires the use of subroutines established under a FORTRAN compiler given the difficulty in implementing the type of behavior of the materials constituting the FGM. Our work aims to establish a program in MATLAB (UMM) making possible to introduce the behavior of the FGM by element in the mesh model of the structure, hence the advantage and reliability of graded the material in three dimensions for two or even three constituents of FGM and secondly, for different geometric designs. This technique is more sensitive to the mesh, hence the adaptation strategy of a driven mesh in order to improve the precision and the convergence of results under minimal computation time. The constitutive law of our model follows the von Mises equivalent stress flow theory with a hardening variable in incremental form. Moreover, to describe the elastic–plastic behavior of FGM, the model of TTO (Tamura-Tomota-Ozawa) was used for both methods that of UMAT in the form of a numerical algorithm and for our new method in the form of calculated values by the MATLAB code. The parameters used in the two calculation methods are taken from the results of stress–strain tests of the two materials; ceramic (TiB; Titanium mono biorde) and metal (Ti; Titanium). A comparison between the two methods has taken place in the form of load–displacement curves in order to present the capacities of our technique with respect to the usual UMAT technique. However, for damage, the use of the XFEM technique in our UMM method has shown its advantage in the separation of the structure after crack initiation. The crack path as well as its propagation speed under the effect of the volume fraction exponent of the FGM has been highlighted. The two models used in this study (UMM and UMAT) were validated on the one hand with analytics through the TTO model and on the other hand by the experimentation of a tensile test.

Basmenji, Mehran; Sançar, Taylan; Dikbaş, Aynur; Boulton, Sarah J.; Akyüz, Hüsnü Serdar
South Western Anatolia is dominated by E-W and NW-SE trending active faults. The dip-slip Yatağan Fault is one of these active structures that trends in a NW direction for ~30 km. To assess the relative tectonic activity of the Yatağan Fault, two geomorphic segments were defined along the fault: the FS-1 (northern segment) and the FS-2 (southern segment). The vertical slip rate pattern of the fault was analyzed using steepness indexes, chi (χ) plots, and log-log slope area graphs. Results of the analyses indicate that the steepness of the streams draining the footwall reveal increasingly higher values downstream along the fault. All of the main basins contain at least one slope-break knickpoint associated with tectonic uplift. Facet morphology-based investigations using empirical methods along faceted spurs of the Yatağan Fault indicate vertical slip rates of 0.16 ± 0.05 mm/year and 0.3 ± 0.05 mm/year for the FS-1 and the FS-2, according to relationship of facet slope angle (Rsa ). Additionally, using the facet basal height relationship (Rbh ) we calculated slip rates of 0.24 mm/year and 0.36 mm/year for the FS-1 and the FS-2 segments, respectively. Mountain front sinuosity analysis yields values of 1.34 and 1.2, while the ratio of valley-floor width to valley height gives values of 0.64 and 0.24 for the FS-1 and the FS-2 respectively, indicating typical active mountain front where the uplift rates are ≥ 0.5 mm/year. Hypsometric analysis suggest a transition from mature to older stage for catchments along the Yatağan Fault. Comprehensive interpretation of the results from morphometric analysis, vertical slip rate calculations, and data based on field observations suggest preponderance of tectonic activity over erosional process along the Yatağan Fault. Our analyses reveal that the rate of the tectonic activity gradually increases from the FS-1 to the FS-2 along the fault.

Celik, Erkan; Yucesan, Melih; Gul, Muhammet
Although environmental awareness has reached a high level, enterprises—regardless of their working domains—follow the concept of greenness for their practices. This awareness among the stakeholders and supply chain experts has a positive impact on the purchasing departments of enterprises in various sectors to consider greenness in their procurement processes. The critical decision that must be made in green supply chain management (GSCM) is supplier selection. In the textile industry, a highly competitive market in recent years, suppliers for this industry have crucial roles in business activities considering environmental issues. Therefore, green supplier selection (GSS) in the textile industry is considered a must-be process for the stakeholders. In this study, a GSS problem is tackled as a multi-criteria decision process. Best worst method (BWM) and TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese of interactive and multi-criteria decision-making) methods are merged under an improved fuzzy concept of interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs). In determining green suppliers’ evaluation criteria, BWM with interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2F-BWM) is used. In selecting green suppliers, an interval type-2 fuzzy TODIM (IT2F-TODIM) is applied. Considering the characteristics of IT2FSs, BWM, and TODIM methods either individually and in integrated style, the proposed approach can handle uncertainty in the decision-making of GSS. To demonstrate the applicability of the approach, a case study in the Turkish textile industry is performed. Three green supplier alternatives (S1, S2, and S3) are assessed under forty-two sub-criteria. The study shows the most significant sub-criteria are recognized as dye and print quality, product design and pattern suitability, profit on the product, variation in price, and purchase cost. S2 green supplier has been selected as the most appropriate one. A sensitivity analysis is also fulfilled to check variation in the ranking of green suppliers.

Yousefi, Samuel; Valipour, Mahsa; Gul, Muhammet
Financial and time constraints force managers to put limited failure modes in priority to implement corrective and preventive actions. Thus, how prioritization can be done more constructively is of particular importance. This study aims to introduce an improved Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) technique based on an extension of the Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) method and the Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) to assess and prioritize failures in a production process. These developed methods called Z-CoCoSo and Z-FUCOM rely on the Z-number theory. They can consider uncertainty and reliability simultaneously in determining the weights of risk factors and the value of these factors in the studied problem. The proposed approach can cover some shortcomings of the conventional FMEA technique employed in identifying potential failures before their occurrence. Applying this approach enables experts to consider different weights for risk factors and uncertainty in the risk assessment process and provides them with a reliable ranking with high separability. Implementing the introduced approach for a real case study in the automotive parts industry has been compared with FMEA and other existent versions of the used methods demonstrating its reliable prioritization.

In this study, the electrical, thermal, morphological and physical properties of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and polylactic acid (PLA) blends and its nanocomposites prepared in different content of montmorillonite (3%wt, 5%wt, 7%wt) were investigated. Biodegradable blends of PHA/PLA were prepared in different compositions ranging from 30–70%. Nanocomposite films were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and scanning electron microscopy for morphology (SEM). The effects of the amount of MMT used as a reinforcing filler on the morphology, color, opacity, thermal stability, and dielectric properties of PHA/PLA films were investigated. SEM analyses showed good interaction between MMT and PHA/PLA film. As the MMT concentration increases, the transparency of the films decreases. In addition, MMT has improved thermal stability. Also, the dielectric properties and electrical conductivity of nanocomposite films were studied. The measurements were performed at frequencies between 100 Hz to 10 kHz at room temperature. As the frequency increased, dielectric permittivity (έ), the dielectric loss (ε'') and the electrical conductivity (σ) decreased and remain constant at high frequencies. έ, ε'' and the σ increased with increasing MMT content.
