Başgöz, Öyküm; Güler, Seval Hale; Güler, Ömer; Canbay, Canan A.; Zakaly, Hesham M.H.; Issa, Shams A.M.; ALMisned, Ghada; Tekin, H.O.
We report the synergistic effects of boron nitride and graphene nanosheets on physical, structural, and nuclear radiation attenuation properties of polyester matrix-incorporated nanocomposites. Some critical material properties are thoroughly evaluated for several types of synthesized samples. Polyester is employed to strengthen graphene and boron nitride nanolayers, and their characteristics are investigated in detail. Additionally, we report the gamma-ray and fast neutron attenuation characteristics of synthesized nanocomposites to get a better understanding of the reinforcing effect as a function of material type and weight percentage. Thermal analysis findings indicate that adding graphene lowers the decomposition temperature but co-adding graphene and BNNS enhances thermal decomposition in comparison to graphene itself. Tensile tests showed that the inclusion of both GRP and GRP/BNNS strengthens the material. Among the polyester composite samples analyzed, the G3 sample with the most GNP reinforcement had the lowest HVL values throughout the broadest range of energy levels investigated. The recent findings may be beneficial to the scientific community in terms of incorporating these reinforcing types and ratios into polyester materials for a variety of applications, including industrial and research purposes.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2023Scopus SJRQ3Seasonal changes in fatty acid profile of the freshwater snail Viviparus contectus (Millet, 1813) from lake habitat
Özçiçek, Esin; Kutluyer Kocabaş, Filiz; Kocabaş, Mehmet; Yilmaz, Ökkeş
The freshwater snail, Viviparus contectus, is an important shellfish owing to its nutritional composition (i.e., high amounts of protein, essential amino acids, fatty acid profile and minerals) and its promise as a candidate for the treatment of some diseases in traditional medicine. Hence, the seasonal changes in the fatty acid (FA) profile of Viviparus contectus caught from Demirköprü Dam Lake were determined in this study. Saturated fatty acid (SFAs) (64.54–80.39% of total fatty acids) had the highest concentration followed by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) (10.63–21.83%) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) (6.57–10.13%). Stearic acid (C18:0) was the major SFA while arachidonic acid (C20:4 n−6) was the major PUFA. The season significantly affected the FA profile of V. contectus while no significant difference was determined between seasons with respect to tissue MUFAs levels. A higher level of total SFAs was detected during spring (80.39%) while a higher proportion of MUFAs was detected during the winter (10.13%). The total amounts of PUFAs were highest in winter (21.83%). Overall, V. contectus has nutritional value. However, V. contectus caught in autumn may be nutritionally the most valuable for human consumption due to higher eicosapentaenoic acid 20:5 n−3 and docosahexaenoic acid contents.

Yilmaz, D.
The development of infiltration techniques has facilitated the estimation of soils hydraulic properties. Among these, the simplified Beerkan infiltration methods are the most attractive because of their ease of use and low cost. However, they have not been tested on a wide range of soils, more particularly on technosols which are more and more present in urban areas. The transient method using the preliminary part of the infiltration curve and the long-time method using the part of the curve where the infiltration flow becomes permanent were tested on 32 infiltrations collected on 5 experimental technosols to estimate the saturated hydraulic conductivity Ks. The results show that the estimated Ks for both methods are in the same order of magnitude when compared to the reference value. The steady state approach has led to better results of Ks estimates related with R2 factor of 0.902 versus 0.798 for transient one. However, in the case of Basic Oxygen Furnace slag technosol the differences in Ks estimates are more pronounced and additional investigations are necessary. If no complex reaction inside the microstructure occurs, then the simplified method may be used for a rough estimate of Ks on technosols.

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.

Akkurt, Nevzat
The numerical and transient behavior of a battery pack (BA-PK) consisting of three battery cells positioned within an air duct is investigated in this work. The BA-PK was connected to a solar system. The inside of the BA-PK is filled with phase change material. The air within the duct moved at a speed of 0.001–0.003 m/s around the BA-PK. The investigation was carried out by altering the dimensions of the BA-PK using COMSOL software. The finite element approach is used to solve the equations. The results of this research indicated that the battery temperature (Tbatt) drops gradually until the surrounding area is filled with molten PCM, but that once the PCM around the battery is entirely frozen, the Tbatt drops abruptly. The use of a larger BA-PK increases the temperature of the exhaust air out of the duct, but reduces the percentage of solid PCM. The Tbatt, as well as the maximum Tbatt and average TPCM within the compartment, are reduced by using a smaller BA-PK. In addition to increasing the quantity of solid PCM, increasing the speed lowers the temperatures of the batteries and PCM, as well as the temperature of the exhaust air.

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.

Öztop, H.F.; Bakır, E.; Selimefendigil, F.; Gür, M.; Coşanay, H.
A two-dimensional time-dependent computational analysis was carried out to examine the effects of inclined plate on melting time of Phase Change Material (PCM) filled square block on the bottom wall of a channel. Solution of the governing equations are performed by using finite volume method. The RT25HC material is chosen as PCM. The study is done for different parameters of inclination angle of the plate and Reynolds number. It is observed that the inclined plate can be used to control of melting time of PCM in a block as well as flow field and temperature distribution in the channel. Using of acceleration angle as θ = 110° accelerates the melting time of PCM inside the block. Thus, mass fraction rate increases 4 times with application of inclined thin plate.

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.

Yilmazer, Merve; Karakose, Mehmet
Regular maintenance of the line is critical for safety in railway transportation, which constitutes an important part of the transportation system. Due to the high error rate of manual fault detection methods, non-contact fault detection methods have been developed. Railway switch state and level crossing faults are frequently encountered in the occurrence of train accidents. A new method based on YOLOv4 has been proposed for condition monitoring and fault detection in these rail sections. The YOLOv4 deep neural network was trained using four class label datasets consisting of real railway visual data. Model evaluated using test data. Performance evaluation was made using evaluation metrics. Experimental results showed that the model could detect correctly with 96.8% accuracy.

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.

Surface water samples from the area of Munzur Stream in Türkiye (a Ramsar site) were evaluated for their suitability for irrigation and drinking purposes using different water quality indices. The human health risks were assessed as well. The study was conducted over a period of 24 months from January 2019 to December 2021 by taking samples from nine stations every month in order to determine the water quality of Munzur Stream, located in Tunceli. According to the results, Munzur Stream is in good condition in terms of the quality of drinking water and irrigation water. The concentrations of heavy metals such as Cu, Ni, Fe and Hg were high, though the water quality parameter according to Türkiye Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs Surface Water Quality Regulations (TSWQR) was significantly lower than the permitted limits. In Munzur Stream, the irrigation water for all stations was reported to be excellent, good and suitable in terms of SAR, Na% and MH, respectively. The principal component analysis data formed the four principal components, explaining 98.22% of the total variance. The sources of pollution in this area include the rock types of the basin, soil erosion, domestic waste water discharge and agricultural flow of inorganic fertilisers.

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.

The current study focuses on the fabrication, characterization, and cytotoxic effects of polymeric biocomposite films composed of starch, various concentrations of citric acid (3%, 6%, and 9%), and polyvinyl alcohol. The cross-linked corn starch (S)-polyvinyl alcohol (P) biocomposite films are prepared by casting technique using glucose (G) and fructose (F) as plasticizers. The chemical structure of obtained films is characterized by Fourier transform infrared and x-ray diffraction. Physicochemical parameters of the films such as solubility, swelling capacity, and water vapor permeability, optical and mechanical properties are investigated. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity is evaluated to determine the biocompatibility of samples. The physicochemical properties of S-P(Starch-Polyvinyl alcohol) films improve with the addition of citric acid during the esterification reaction. The tensile strength for Starch-Polyvinyl alcohol-Glucose blend composition with 3% citric acid (SPG3) and Starch-Polyvinyl alcohol-Fructose blend composition with 3% citric acid (SFG3) biocomposite films is determined as 10.17 and 8.24 MPa, respectively, compared to 8.16 and 7.94 MPa for without citric acid, respectively. The cell viability values of biocomposite films towards NIH-3T3 and L929 cells are calculated 90% compared to the control group. Thus, it demonstrates that they are also quite biocompatible materials.

Electron beam technology may be integrated into the fresh produce wash water line, as an advanced oxidation process (AOP). However, prior to implementation, effectiveness of the technology must be assessed. Hydroxyl radical scavengers were used to quantify the role of yield of hydroxyl radicals in inactivation of the selected pathogen in aqueous solution. The combined lethal effect of e-beam treatment with aqueous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) solution was also investigated. The radioresistance of Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 13311 in deionized (DI) water, that is radiation D10 values, increased (p <.05) from 0.15 ± 0.00 kGy to 0.18 ± 0.00 kGy and to 0.19 ± 0.06 kGy when peptone water (PW) and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was dissolved into DI water, respectively. Membrane-permeable ethanol provided better protection for this pathogen than nonpermeable PEG. Results suggest that to minimize the protective effects of inoculating suspending media used for the preparation of Salmonella suspension, 1.0 mM phosphate buffer (PB) should be used in microbial studies of irradiated foods. Nitrate and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) reacting with hydrated electrons (eaq−) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH), respectively, induced more sequestering of ·OH. E-beam treatment with 0.60 kGy dose in aqueous solution with H2O2 led to a reduction of 6.44 ± 0.03 log CFU/mL f S. Typhimurium ATCC 13311.

Austenitic stainless steels (SSs) are commonly used as in-core and surrounding structural materials in today’s industrial BWR and PWR systems. Such adaptable steels have also been the primary materials studied and used in several advanced nuclear reactor technologies, such as fast breeding and magnetic fusion reactors. In this study, some critical material properties, such as structural, physical, and radiation-shielding properties of REX-734 and 316L SS, were experimentally evaluated and compared to those of a number of other alloys. In addition to homogeneous element distribution, both alloys exhibit strong crystal orientation. The REX-734 alloy has a tensile strength of 1,259 MPa, whereas the 316L SS alloy has a tensile strength of 495 MPa. Moreover, nitrogen in the REX-734 alloy formed ultra-hard nitrides with Cr, Nb, and Si and precipitated into the structure and increased the strength. According to our findings, the mass attenuation coefficient values of the 316L SS sample were slightly higher than those of the REX-734 sample at all energies. It can be concluded that the REX-734 sample, with its exceptional strength qualities and excellent radiation attenuation capabilities, may be a viable nuclear power plant material for future investigations.
