    Sari, Ramazan; Ünal, İnan

    A Lorentzian para-Sasakian (LP-Sasakian) space form is a kind of para-Sasakian manifold with constant φ− holomorphic sectional curvature. The presented paper is on the curvatures of semi-invariant submanifolds of an LP-Sasakian space form. Firstly, the definition of a semi-invariant submanifold of LP-Sasakian space form is given and an example is presented. Then, some important results on Ricci and scalar curvatures have been obtained by using the Gauss equation related to curvatures. Furthermore, by suffering from these results, the conditions of a distribution is being Einstein have been examined. Finally, semi-invariant products of Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds have been considered and an important inequality for the second fundamental form is proved.

    Yaşar Yetişmiş, Habibe; Aksoy Derya, Yeşim

    Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of perineal massage performed during labor on childbirth comfort, perineal pain, and genital tract trauma in nulliparous women. Material and Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with a control group. The sample consisted of a total of 182 pregnant women, including 91 in the experimental group and 91 in the control group. Perineal massage was performed in the experimental group two, four, and four to six times during the latent, active, and transition phases, respectively. The participants in the experimental group continued to receive perineal massage with every push throughout the second stage of labor. Data were collected using the “Personal Introductory Form”, “Visual Analog Scale (VAS)”, “REEDA Scale” and “Childbirth Comfort Questionnaire (CCQ)”. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of labor conditions including duration of the second stage of labor, perineal trauma status, severity of perineal trauma, and episiotomy application status (p<0.05). After perineal massage, the CCQ mean score at the end of the active phase was 30.53±8.78 in the experimental group and 26.83±7.78 in the control group (p<0.05). Additionally, the postpartum VAS mean score was 3.04±2.08 in the experimental group and 5.72±2.64 in the control group (p<0.001). The REEDA mean total score was 3.23±0.53 in the experimental group and 5.50±1.70 in the control group (p<0.001). Conclusion: Perineal massage administered to nulliparous women during labor increased childbirth comfort and decreased perceptions of perineal pain, and it was associated with lower rates of genital tract trauma.

    EFFECT of the COOLING with AIR and WATER VAPOR on MILLING PERFORMANCES

    Mahmat, Aybars; Tosun, Nihat; AǦar, Salih

    This study aims to investigate experimentally and analytically the effects of different machining parameters such as cooling methods and cutting tool materials on surface roughness and chip thickness ratio for milling of AA7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The carbide and high-speed steel (HSS) end mills were used as cutting tools and the conventional, vapor, and compressed air were used as cooling methods in the experiments. The experiment conditions for compressed air at the cutting zone were 6 bar pressure and 30 m/s speed flow rate. A mixture of boron oil and water (1/20 mixture ratio) was used as cutting fluid in conventional cooling. The study was carried out using three levels of feed rates (20, 40, 80 mm/min), rotational speeds (780, 1330, 2440 rpm), and a constant 2 mm deep cut. As a result of the experiments, the surface roughness values increased with the increasing levels of feed rate. Besides surface roughness values decreased with increasing levels of the rotational speed. In addition, a better surface quality was obtained in milling processes by using carbide cutting tools compared to HSS tools. It was concluded that the most important parameter affecting the surface roughness and chip thickness ratio is feed rate and the rotational speed, respectively. Better surface roughness and chip thickness ratio were obtained from the vapor processing than the conventional and compressed air.

    Physiological peristaltic flow of Jeffrey fluid inside an elliptic cross section with heat and mass transfer: Exact solutions through Polynomial solution technique

    Nadeem, Sohail; Akhtar, Salman; Akkurt, Nevzat; Saleem, Anber; Almutairi, Shahah; Ghazwani, Hassan Ali

    An interpretation of heat and mass transfer for the peristaltic flow of a non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid inside a duct having an elliptic cross-section is mathematically investigated. We have considered constant heat absorption for the present study and a descriptive heat as well as mass transfer analysis is carried out. Exact solutions are computed by utilizing a polynomial solution technique to solve the dimensionless partial differential equations appearing in the problem. A purposeful and detailed graphical assessment is provided for the final mathematical results. Velocity as well as temperature profiles attain highest value at the core region of duct while these profiles gradually decline toward duct boundaries. The incrementing value of λ1 is resulting in an increase of flow and since λ1 is the dimensionless ratio of relaxation to retardation time, it means that the increasing value of λ1 results in an increase of relaxation time but it also results in decline of retardation time.

    Estimation of Contact Lengths Using Deep Neural Network; [Derin Öğrenme Yöntemi ile Temas Uzunlukları Tahmini]

    Polat, Alper

    One of the most common problems in engineering is contact problems. In recent years, researchers have turned to alternative methods that can offer effective solutions in a shorter time, instead of solutions containing complex and long mathematical expressions. This study focuses on the estimation of the contact lengths in a homogeneous elastic layer suppressed by two elastic punches with two solution methods. Firstly, a new model was designed for estimation using Deep Learning Neural Network (DNN), one of the deep learning structures. Estimation of contact lengths was provided with the output of the DNN model, which was fed with the homogeneous elastic layer, the ratio of shear modules of the punches and the input parameters of punch radii. The finite element method was used as the second solution method. The problem was modelled in the ANSYS programme, and the solution was made with the same parameters used in DNN modelled. The results obtained from both solutions were compared with the solutions obtained by the theory of elasticity and classical NN in the literature. It had been seen that the results obtained with DNN and ANSYS were compatible with the results obtained with analytical and classical NN and the margin of error was smaller.

    Synthesis, Characterization and Biocompatibility of Cross-linked Dicarboxylic Acids from Waste Potato Peel Starch

    Paşa, S.; Gürler, N.; Erdoğan, Ö.; Cevik, O.

    Abstract: People have become conscious about recycling or reusing many things they use in the 21st century because diminishing vital resources make it necessary, both personally and socially. The evaluation of waste is also critical in terms of national economies. In this study, starch dicarboxylic compounds were synthesized using waste potato peels (WPP) in the presence of sodium hypophosphite monohydrate as a catalyst for the formation of the ester cross-links. Adipic acid, succinic acid, and glutaric acid were employed with waste potato starch (WPS) to obtain cross-linked samples: WPS-A, WPS-S, and WPS-G, respectively. The obtained compounds were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (FTIR-ATR), scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and their cytotoxicity properties were investigated. The biocompatibility of the obtained WPS-dicarboxylic acid compounds against NIH-3T3 and L929 murine fibroblast cells with MTT assay was determined. Studies have shown that these compounds do not harm healthy cells and are found to be bioavailable.

    A comparative framework for criticality assessment of strategic raw materials in Turkey

    Göçmen Polat, Elifcan; Yücesan, Melih; Gül, Muhammet

    The rapid development of innovative technologies, population growth, shifting resource management patterns, and decarbonization challenges are expected to increase the demand for raw materials labeled as critical in the following years. The increasing concerns have led to evaluate the critical raw materials (CRMs) with high economic importance and supply risk. In this context, this paper aims to develop a conceptual methodology to identify CRMs in Turkey. The methodology integrates a multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM) to provide the raw material criticality matrix regarding various criteria, the EU (European Union) method, which represents supply risk and economic importance indicators, and the time series analysis method, in which dynamic evaluation of materials over time instead of the static indicators. We first provide a Bayesian Best-Worst method (B-BWM) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) based model for the criticality matrix, which enables evaluations of participated experts to be combined to reveal the weights of the criteria and sub-criteria from a probabilistic point of view without loss of knowledge. The main and sub-criteria include supply risk and economic importance, which are frequently studied in the literature, but also environment, price, secondary production, and socio-economic indicators are evaluated in the criticality matrix. Then, exponential smoothing forecast, one of the Time Series Analysis models, which determine the element criticality in the perspective of future years with the data of import figures of Turkey, is superior to the other models. Finally, with some modifications, the EU criticality methodology is used to quantify the raw materials regarding each material associated with the sector applications and their value-added and supply disruptions. Thus, a comprehensive criticality list integrating the results of the three mentioned methods is important because Turkey's raw materials characterize many sectors. The findings should also interest practitioners and researchers as the detailed assessment of raw material criticality ensures a sufficient database for future studies.

    Preparation of composite supported phase change materials from inorganic-based microcapsules of cetyl alcohol and investigation of their phase change material (PCM) behaviors

    Karabulut, Serap; Sekerci, Memet; Adiguzel, Ragip; Karagoz Genc, Zuhal

    In this study, cetyl alcohol (CA) (CH3(CH2)15OH), which is a fatty alcohol, was microencapsulated by the coacervation method with the titanium-n-butoxide (TNBO). Firstly, at the beginning of the experimental process by thermal and structural analyses, the CA was determined as having a phase change material (PCM) property, then it was microencapsulated with TNBO. In the second step of the study, barite, boron nitride, marble powder, and fly ash were separately added to prepare a series of microencapsulated with TNBO. Lastly, structural and thermal properties of both microencapsulated PCM and composite supported microencapsulated PCMs (CSM-PCMs) have been analyzed by FTIR, DSC, TGA, and SEM devices. Surprisingly, the SEM image of CA turned from torn fiber structure into a particulate structure in the form of groundnut in the SEM images of the microencapsulated CA-Ti taken at different magnifications. After the thermal cycling test, the same analyses have been made before and after thermal cycling to compare the structural and thermal properties. It has been investigated whether to use as insulation material. It is concluded that the most suitable samples, compared with structural and thermal properties, are barite (B) and boron nitride (BN) with microencapsulated samples. The obtained results are shown that CATi-B and CATi-BN are CSM-PCMs and could be suggested in terms of thermal energy storage in buildings as promising PCMs.

    Şahal, Hakan; İdil, Önder; Canpolat, Erdal; Özkan, Mustafa

    Abstract: Synthesis of three different new sulfonamide compounds (L1–L3) and their Cu(II) complexes were carried out. Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods such as Fourier transform infrared, Proton nuclear magnetic resonance and elemental analysis. Cu(II) complexes were screened for Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria and against yeast using the microdilution method. In particular, CuL2 was found to have significant antimicrobial effects on Gram (–), Gram (+) and eukaryotic yeast. The results showed that CuL2 exhibited better antimicrobial activity than other complexes. Depending on the antimicrobial activity results, time killing experiments of CuL2, the most effective complex, were performed.

    Investigation on application of plate-tube evaporative condensating technology for data centres in the northwest of China

    Wu, Xueyuan; Shao, Shuangquan; Akkurt, Nevzat

    The rapid development of data center leads to a rapid increase in energy consumption. In this paper, the plate and tube evaporative condenser is proposed for the water-cooled chiller and the data center cooling system to improve the energy efficiency in hot and dry summer and avoid icing in cold winter. The chiller can operate in the wet mode for compressor refrigeration and the dry mode for free cooling with the coefficient of performance (COP) of 5.2 in wet mode and up to 33.3 in dry mode. Furthermore, the system is applied in a data center in Ulumiqi, which is located in the dry and cold region and its ambient air temperature can vary from −32 °C to 45 °C throughout the year. The actual operation results show that the power usage effectiveness (PUE) value of the whole data centre is 1.349 in June, 1.229 in December, and 1.320 as the annual average, which is stable and efficient for five consecutive years. These results ensure the proposed system is an important technical solution for energy saving and emission reduction in data centres in cold regions.

    Stress analysis of the contact problem in a functionally graded layer loaded with a distributed load and two rigid circular punches resting on an elastic two quarter planes

    Kaya, Fatih; Polat, Alper

    In this study, the solution of the contact problem in a functionally graded (FG) layer resting on elastic two quarter planes was done using the finite element method (FEM). The contact problem consists of two rigid circular punches loaded FG and two elastic quarter planes. P and Q loads are transmitted to the FG layer by two rigid circular punches. All surfaces in the problem were considered as frictionless and the weight effect is also taken into account. The two-dimensional model of the contact problem was created with the ANSYS package program based on FEM and the stress analyzes were performed. All operations of quarter planes and circular punches are done with standard ANSYS menus. However, defining the material properties of the FG layer and dividing into meshes in finite elements cannot be done with standard menus. For this reason, a special macro was added to the program in order to define the material properties of the FG layer and to perform the mesh division, and the necessary parameters were applied to the layer by this macro. In the study, the effects of external load, stiffness parameter (βh), density parameter (γh) and contact stresses of distributed load change, normal stresses, and stresses along the depth were investigated.

    An Estimation Proposal for Engineering Properties of Modified Concrete by using Standalone and Hybrid GRELM

    Cemalgil, Selim; Onat, Onur; Aruntaş, Hüseyin Yılmaz

    The presented study pertains to an attempt to propose a novel prediction model to predict the flexural and compressive strengths of concrete modulated using steel fiber (SFb) and silica fume (SF). A completed experimental investigation is adopted for the current study, and a research plan is employed. Three different superplasticizers amount (SP), different SF replacement ratios, and a constant amount of SFb were used by the weight of cement to meet the C25 target strength. A sum of 16 distinct mixtures designed by changing SP and SF ratios were developed. Furthermore, SFb was added at a fixed rate of 65 kg/m3 to all planned concrete mixes. In addition, SFb was used to create a 16-mix design. Finally, a total of 32 distinct mix designs were created. Produced, hardened specimens were exposed to two different curing conditions. This research uses the mechanical characteristics of concrete treated with SF, SP, and SFb to estimate by conducting standalone and hybridized generalized extreme learning machine (GRELM) algorithms based on available experimental data in terms of the metaheuristic aspects of this work. With continuous input data, four separate data sets were constructed. Compressive strength and flexural strength were estimated separately. With the aid of the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms, binary and ternary hybrid approaches were developed and tested on the data. Four distinct estimation models were suggested. Two quality metrics were used to evaluate the estimation performance: Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and correlation of determination (R2). The estimation results showed that the hybridized GRELM-PSO-GWO estimation model that was built for prediction was relatively successful in all sets.

    Physical-Mechanical and Electrical Resistivity Properties of Cementitious Mortars Containing Fe3O4-MWCNTs Nanocomposite

    Selen, Veyis; Guler, Omer; Nodehi, Mehrab; Sarı, Ahmet; Yaras, Ali; Gencel, Osman; Gholampour, Aliakbar; Ozbakkaloglu, Togay

    Recent growth in materials science and engineering technologies has pushed the construction industry to engage in new applications, such as the manufacturing of smart and electrically conductive products. Such novel uses of conductive construction materials would potentially allow their use in conjunction with various fields, such as those referred to as “Industry 4.0.” The following study uses iron oxide (Fe3O4)-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposites synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and incorporated into the cementitious mortars as a substitute for sand at 1, 2, and 3% ratios to enhance the electrical conductivity. Results reveal that the electrical resistivity of cementitious composites decreases (due to the increase in electrical conductivity) from 208.3 to 61.6 Ω·m with both the Fe3O4-MWCNTs nanocomposites ratio and the increasing voltage. The lowest compressive strengths at 7 and 28 days are 12.6 and 17.4 MPa for specimens with 3% Fe3O4-MWCNTs and meet the standards that comply with most applications. On the other hand, the highest porosity was reached at 26.8% with a Fe3O4-MWCNTs rate of 3%. This increase in porosity caused a decrease in both the dry unit weight and ultrasonic pulse velocity (from 5156 to 4361 m/s). Further, it is found that the incorporation of Fe3O4-MWCNT nanocomposites can have a negative effect on the hardening process of mortars, leading to localized air cavities and an inhomogeneous development of cementing products. Nonetheless, the improvement of the electrical conductivity of the samples without significantly compromising their physico-mechanical properties will allow their use in various fields, such as deicing applications with low-voltage electric current.

    A novel radial basis Bayesian regularization deep neural network for the Maxwell nanofluid applied on the Buongiorno model

    Sabir, Zulqurnain; Akkurt, Nevzat; Ben Said, Salem

    The aim of this work is to provide the numerical solutions of the fluid model by using the stochastic computing paradigms. The linear/exponential stretching sheets on magneto-rotating flow based on the Maxwell nanofluid have been provided using the Buongiorno model with the impacts of uneven heat source/sink, varying thermal conductivity and reactive species. The solutions of this transformed ordinary differential exponential stretching sheet model have been presented using a novel ‘radial basis’ (RB) activation function together with the Bayesian regularization deep neural network (BRDNN), i.e., RB-BRDNN. The deep neural network is presented into two hidden layers, while thirteen and twenty-five numbers of neurons have been used in the first and second layer. A reference dataset is proposed using the Runge-Kutta scheme for the model. The correctness of the stochastic RB-BRDNN procedure is examined through the comparison of proposed and database results, whereas minimal absolute error values provide the accuracy of the scheme. The reliability and competence of the computing RB-BRDNN solver is authenticated using the state transitions, correlation, regression, and error histograms.

    Extracting low dimensional representations from large size whole slide images using deep convolutional autoencoders

    Çelik, Yusuf; Karabatak, Murat

    Background and objective: Artificial intelligence-based analysis of medical images has recently become a trendy field of study. The most significant effect on these systems to produce reliable and high-performance results is the amount of accessed data. Although whole-slide images (WSI), one of the current imaging techniques used in histopathology, storage costs are very expensive. Therefore, low-dimensional visuals representing of WSIs is an essential field of study. Methods: In this study, deep auto-encoder-based models are designed to create low dimensional representations for WSI. The size reduction was performed for the input images in different sizes, at the ratios of 1: 3, 1: 6, and 1: 12, respectively. Results: Similarity index measure values were obtained as high as 0.957 and 0.938, respectively, using 128 × 128 × 3 dimensional patches in the size reduction process of 1: 3 and 1:12 on test WSI. Conclusion: The proposed model has a structure that can be applied in compression of WSIs and secure data transfer. By using these representations, both storage costs and the high-level hardware costs required by deep learning algorithms can be significantly reduced.

    Investigation of the geometry effect on air-demand ratio in conduits with a sluice gate

    Aydin, Alp Bugra; Baylar, Ahmet; Ozkan, Fahri; Tuna, Muhammed Cihat; Ozturk, Mualla

    Gated conduits involve high-velocity air-water flow. When studies on gated conduits are examined, it is determined that the air-demand ratio changes according to the hydraulic and geometric parameters. However, no study has investigated the effect of the cross-sectional geometry of high-head conduits with a sluice gate on the air-demand ratio. In this study, the effect of conduit cross-sectional geometry on the air-demand ratio is examined. Results indicate that a conduit's cross-sectional geometry has an important effect on the air-demand ratio, especially at 10% and 15% gate opening rates. It is seen that the effect of the conduit geometry on the air-demand ratio decreases at 20%, and for greater gate opening rates. Moreover, a formula for estimated the air-demand ratio is presented, relating the air-demand ratio to the gate opening rate, Froude number, hydraulic radius and conduit length.

    Adsorption potential of neodymium/alginate beads for removal of Congo red and Brilliant blue G from aqueous solution

    Seker, S.; Karaaslan Ayhan, N.

    In this study, neodymium/alginate (Nd/Alg) beads were prepared to removal of Congo Red (CR) and Brilliant Blue G (BBG) dyes from aqueous solution and the adsorption potentials of these dyes were investigated. For this, Nd/Alg beads prepared using crosslinking were characterized by FTIR, SEM–EDS and TGA. For the adsorption of CR and BBG dyes, the effects of various parameters including the amount of Nd in adsorbent (bead), pH, contact time, adsorbent amount, initial dye concentration and temperature were investigated. The optimum conditions for the effective removal of CR and BBG dyes were determined as Nd amount in bead: 3%, pH: 7, contact time: 60 min, bead amount: 15 mg, initial dye concentration: 25 mg/L and temperature 298 K. Adsorption isotherm studies (Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms) and kinetic studies (pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order) were carried out under optimum conditions. The adsorption data were found to completely follow Langmuir model for CR and BBG dyes. The maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 46.03 mg/g for CR and 25.25 mg/g for BBG under optimum conditions. The adsorption kinetic data of both dyes were found to be compatible with pseudo-first-order and adsorption processes were explained by intraparticle diffusion. According to thermodynamic studies, nature of adsorption reaction was spontaneous, exothermic and increasing randomness for both dyes. As a result, it can be concluded that Nd/Alg beads obtained with a natural polymer have low cost and high efficiency and even small amounts of these beads have high potential for treatment of high concentration dye wastewater.

    Chaotic quantization based JPEG for effective compression of whole slide images

    Artuğer, Fırat; Özkaynak, Fatih

    In today’s digital world, effectively transferring data from one point to another is an important problem. For this reason, the development of various new compression algorithms and making existing solutions more effective are examined in detail by researchers. In this study, a new method is proposed to improve the performance of JPEG algorithm. The proposed method includes an approach based on chaotic systems. Chaotic systems contain a strong entropy source. This powerful source of entropy has strong practical applications in obtaining statistically robust random values. In this study, a method is proposed to obtain quantization tables effectively by taking advantage of this potential of chaotic systems. The obtained results showed that the compression performance can be increased at the same quality factors. The proposed approach has been tested on the whole slide image (WSI) dataset. Looking at the analysis results, an average of 2.43% higher accuracy was achieved compared to the JPEG algorithm. It is thought that these results can provide an advantage especially in transferring high-dimensional images such as the DICOM standard, where the JPEG algorithm is used in practical applications.

    Effect of impactor nose form on the impact behavior of reinforced composite materials

    Dogan, Sonay; Arman, Yusuf; Dogan, Akar

    The goal of the present study is to investigate the influence of impactor shape on the low-velocity impact behavior of the composite panels manufactured with different reinforcement materials at the same thicknesses, experimentally. Kevlar, carbon, S-2 glass woven fabric and epoxy matrix have been used to manufacture thermoset composites with the vacuum-assisted resin infusion molding method. The Fractovis plus test machine with a 12.7 mm diameter hemispherical and two different conical impactor noses was used to perform impact tests. The effects of impactor shapes on the low-velocity impact behavior have been compared for 20 J, 40 J, and 60 J energy levels. Although at the same impact energy level, S-2 glass fiber-reinforced epoxy specimens have a higher perforation threshold than carbon and Kevlar fiber-reinforced epoxy. Because to achieve the same thickness, the number of S-2 glass layers was greater than the number of carbon and Kevlar layers. Additionally, the form of the impactor greatly influenced the perforation threshold.
