- MakaleYalnız künye2017Scopus SJRQ3PERSISTENCE OF TWO SULPHONYLUREA HERBICIDES IN WHEAT PLANTED FIELD, THRACE REGION IN TURKEY
Erguven, G. O.; Yildirim, N.
This study is concerning the environmental fate of chlorsulfuron and tribenuron-methyl herbicide in a wheat planted field at Thrace Region in Turkey. Use of herbicides containing these active ingredients is advised in the Marmara region in Turkey for cereal agriculture. The study was conducted in wheat planted fields where these herbicides were used. Over nine months, in each two or three week periods, soil samples were obtained from selected sampling points and herbicide residuals were determined by gas chromatography with electron capture detector (GC-ECD) and high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). As a result of these studies, persistence of chlorsulfuron was determined as approximately 1.2% at the second half of June, 2016 and tribenuron methyl seemed to be approximately 1% at the end of May, 2016. The results of the present study showed that chlorsulfuron is generally adsorbed weakly by soil when compared to tribenuron-methyl. pH, organic material, climatic factors and clay content of soil were the main factors influencing the adsorption and desorption properties of the herbicides. The results of this study demonstrated that chlorsulfuron and tribenuron-methyl residues in the soil might depend on their different chemical structures, soil temperature, precipitation and humidity.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2012Scopus SJRQ3An investigation on the sperm number and reproductive parameters of males in wild caught freshwater crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus, Eschscholtz)
Harlioglu, Muzaffer Mustafa; Kutluyer, Fitiz; Gür, Seyfettin
In the present study, the sperm number of wild caught Astacus leptodactylus was counted in the beginning of reproduction season. In addition, the reproductive system, testes, and vasa deferentia were weighed, and gonado-somatic index and testicular index were calculated. Twenty-five adult males of A. leptodactylus were used for the study. Significant linear regressions were found between body length (and weight) and sperm count, reproductive system weight, testes weight and vasa deferentia weight (P < 0.05). The mean sperm number of vas deferens for the size range of 41-56 mm carapace length crayfish was 5.72 +/- 4.54 x 10(9) sperm/distal vas deferens (DVD) section. Sperm number ranged from 4 x 10(8) to 8.5 x 10(9) sperm/DVD section. The results revealed that an increase in body weight causes an increase in sperm number. For example, mean sperm number was 3.87 +/- 2.87 x 10(9) for the weight range of 15-24 g crayfish, 5.01 +/- 2.62 x 10(9) for the weight range of 25-35 g crayfish and 7.37 +/- 2.87 x 10(9) for the weight range of 36-42 g crayfish. In conclusion, this study provides some data on the male reproduction characters and needs to be improved with details about the reproductive performance of males (i.e., sperm number and quality) in order to reach a maximum reproductive efficiency in captivity.

The effect of dietary n-3 series fatty acids on the number of pleopadal egg and stage 1 juvenile in freshwater crayfish, Astacus leptodactylus was investigated. Crayfish were fed with n-3 series fatty acids supplemented diets and a control diet for 251days. Control diet did not comprise additional n-3 series fatty acids. However, D2, D3 and D4 groups were supplemented with n-3 series fatty acids at 1%, 2% and 3% level respectively. Results showed the beneficial effects of dietary n-3 series fatty acids on the production of pleopodal egg and stage 1 juvenile number. At the end of the experiment, pleopodal egg (from 177 to 234) and stage 1 juvenile number (from 167 to 225) increased significantly with increased dietary n-3 series fatty acid level. In addition, an increase in dietary n-3 series fatty acids led to an increase in number of pleopodal egg and stage 1 juvenile produced per gram of female crayfish weight. It can be concluded that the reproductive efficiency of A. leptodactylus (i.e., pleopodal egg and stage 1 juvenile number) can be improved in controlled hatchery conditions by adding n-3 series fatty acid into the diet of this species.

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

Yonten, Vahap; Tanyol, Mehtap; Yildirim, Numan; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu; Ince, Muharrem
This study investigates preparation of biosorbent Pleurotus eryngii immobilized on Amberlite XAD-4 and the optimal conditions for removal of Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) reactive dye from synthetic aqueous solutions. The process was optimized using the response surface methodology (RSM) developed by the application of the quadratic model associated with the central composite design. For this purpose, RSM was employed to determine the effects of operational parameters on this material as effective and available adsorbent. The investigated variables were dye initial concentration (10-60 mg L-1), solution pH (2-9), adsorbent dosage (0.1-0.5 g), and temperature (20-45 degrees C). The significant factors on each experimental design response were identified from the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The RSM indicated that optimum conditions of initial dye concentration, pH, adsorbent dosage, and temperature for maximum RBBR removal (98%) were achieved as 36.3 mg L-1, 2.0, 0.304 g, and 38.7 degrees C, respectively. The results showed that this biosorbent was an appropriate adsorbent for the removal of RBBR from aqueous solutions.

Cimen, M.; Yildirimi, S.; Cetin, M.; Tekelioglu, O.
This research was aimed to investigate the fat depression in milk from mechanical milking in winter and summer period. The data was collected from Mega Agricultural Enterprise by DIMES Company during winter and summer months. The milk fat levels in this study are consistent with normal values for cows. In summer months (July and August), the milk fat rates were lower than test value (3.2%). Therefore, it was concluded that low levels of milk fat (<3.2%) in July and August was closely associated with milk fat depression. Low fat levels in milk from machine milking for summer period can cause to economical loss since the milk price depends on milk fat levels. The cheese producers must be careful about fat depression in milk from machine milking in summer period for achieving maximum benefit. Further studies are needed to investigate on fat depression in milk from machine milking.

Yuksel, Fahrettin; Gunduz, Fatih; Demirol, Ferhat
A study was conducted to determine the selectivity of monofilament gillnets with mesh sizes of 50, 60, and 70 mm that are used in Keban Dam Lake for fishing Luciobarbus esocinus (Heckel, 1843). During the study, a total of 394 L. esocinus were caught. Selectivity parameters were estimated using the indirect estimation method developed by Holt (1963). Optimum selection lengths for L. esocinus were calculated to be 36.61, 43.94 and 51.26 cm for gillnets with mesh sizes of 50, 60, and 70 mm, respectively. Common selectivity factor was estimated to be 7.32, with standard deviation 4.58. Length at first maturity of female L. esocinus (50 cm) was compared to the optimum selection lengths of gillnets with mesh sizes of 50, 60, and 70 mm. Results indicate that gillnets with mesh size of 70 mm would be appropriate for harvesting L. esocinus in the Keban Dam Lake, as the optimum selection length (51.26 cm) is greater than length at first maturity.
AtıfWoS4İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2026Geological Formation Environments of Rare Earth Elements: Examples from Around the World and Turkiye
Çimen, Okay; Dönmez, Cahit
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical raw materials used in strategic fields such as defense, energy, electronics, lasers, and sensor technologies, and particularly in the production of permanent magnets including NdFeB and SmCo types. Since the early 2000s, the global supply of rare earth elements has become dominated by China for mining, beneficiation, and separation processes, as non-Chinese producers have lost competitiveness due to high capital requirements and the costs imposed by environmental regulations. This review addresses the geological formation environments, deposit types, and global reserve-resource distributions of REEs within an integrated framework. REE mineralization occurs within primary geological sources such as carbonatites, alkaline magmatic systems, and iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits, as well as in secondary sources including ion-adsorption clays, placers, and lateritic formations. Primary sources are generally enriched in light REEs and are characterized by high-cost production processes, whereas heavy REEs are predominantly obtained from secondary sources. Globally, REE reserves are estimated to be approximately 90-120 Mt, while potential resources are on the order of similar to 480 Mt, with China occupying a leading position in terms of both reserves and resources. In Europe, Greenland, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, and Turkiye are among the regions with significant REE potential. In Turkiye, the principal REE areas defined at the deposit scale are the Eski & scedil;ehir-K & imath;z & imath;lcaoren (Beylikova) and Malatya-Kuluncak districts. These districts are associated with alkaline magmatism and display enrichment particularly in Nd and Pr (beyond La and Ce), rendering them strategically important for NdFeB permanent magnet production. Recent studies conducted by Eti Maden indicate that the Eski & scedil;ehir-K & imath;z & imath;lcaoren area hosts a large-scale resource of approximately 694 Mt with total REE grades of1.5-1.8%. The Eski & scedil;ehir-K & imath;z & imath;lcaoren area is related to the extensional tectonic regime of Western Anatolia, whereas the Malatya-Kuluncak area is associated with post-collisional alkaline magmatism of Late Cretaceous-Early Paleocene age developed within the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex. The presence of similar alkaline systems across Turkiye indicates significant potential for REE exploration and critical mineral strategies. This synthesis provides a comprehensive geological reference framework for the development of REE exploration strategies, the diversification of global supply chains, and evaluation of Turkiyes'REE potential.

Yogurtcu, Hakan
In this study, the rheological behaviour of semisolid peanut butter samples with a fat ratio of 42.7 % were examined in a temperature interval of 10-50 degrees C via rotational rheometer at different shear rates. Peanut butter samples display non-Newtonian yield-pseudoplastic behaviour. Seven model equalities were used for representing the time-independent rheological behaviour of peanut butter and the representation ability of the models were determined by way of determination coefficient (r(2)), mean absolute percentage error (MA%E), chi-square (chi(2)) and root mean square error (RMSE) statistical parameters. It was observed that the O'foli model was the most successful among the models applied to experimental data. Temperature dependency of viscosity at shear rates of 0.1, 0.4 and 0.75 s(-1) was determined via Arrhenius equality and activation energies varied between the interval of 46818.63-51952.52 J/mol. Three-layer model suggested for estimating viscosity using artificial neural network method was observed to be quite successful.

Many synthetic dyes present in industrial wastewaters are resistant to degradation by conventional treatments. In this study, the ability to decolourize two textile dyes by Pleurotus eryngii strains collected from geographically different habitats of Turkey was evaluated on agar plates For all strains, growth and decolourization halos were determined on malt extract agar plates containing 0 1 and 0.2 g/L of acid red 183 or acid green 25. Each P eryngii strain showed certain decolourization capacities and was able to decolourize both acid red 183 and acid green 25 on the malt extract agar plates, but not to the same extent Both dyes at all concentrations were found to be toxic for P eryngii growth The presence of the dyes in plates reduced the mycelial growth of all strains in comparison with the control culture growing in the medium without dyes. A positive correlation was found between the mycelial growth rate and the decolourization ability

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

Yilmaz, E.; Ates, M.; Sahilli, Y. C.
Researches on nano-structured materials (<100 nm) are increasing rapidly in the direction of technological developments. Synthesis and modification of quantum dots, known as nanomaterials and nanocrystals, have become an important aspect of nanotechnology. The reason for this is that it has many potential applications in the field, including biomedicine and pharmacology. The unique properties and biological effects of nanostructured particles indicate that they can potentially be used as an alternative in the treatment of various diseases. In this work, PbSe quantum dots were synthesized by chemical method and modified by chitosan coating. The characterization of PbSe was done by TEM, SEM, XRD, DLS and Zeta potential analysis methods. When the morphological structures of the quantum dots obtained by chemical synthesis were examined, round and spherical nano-sized particles (<20 nm) of all PbSe were obtained according to TEM and SEM results. It has been seen that PbSe quantum dots have a positive (+) surface charge and are highly stable (40 + mV). In addition, the increase in oxidation resistance of PbSe coated with chitosan was found in XRD results. As a result of this research, small size and biopolymer coated and thus more stable quantum dots could be obtained. It has also been found that PbSe quantum dots coated with biopolymers like chitosan may have the potential to be used in pharmacology and biomedical applications.
