    Assessment of Alternative Segregation Test Methods for Self-Consolidating Heavyweight Concrete

    Gökçe, H. Suleyman; Aksan, Umut; Andiç-Çakir, Ozge

    This investigation is focused on the use of alternative segregation test methods on high-performance self-consolidating heavyweight concrete. Many segregation test methods have been developed by researchers up to now; however, the disadvantages of these methods, such as being time-consuming, the requirement of excessive labor, and the lack of precision, cannot ensure their worldwide prevalence. In the study, the segregation limitations stated in various test methods, that is, the column test, density variation method, and 3-compartment sieve test, were evaluated on self-consolidating heavyweight concrete produced with barite aggregate. For this purpose, in total, eight self-consolidating heavyweight concrete mixtures designed in two water/binder ratios were prepared by replacing viscosity modifier, silica fume, and fly ash with ordinary Portland cement in different amounts. The mixtures were constituted in satisfactory segregation grades, allowing researchers to evaluate the relationship between those methods. The segregation coefficient limits of the column test, density variation method, and 3-compartment sieve test are recommended as 7%, 1%, and 6.3% for the self-consolidating heavyweight concrete mixtures tested in the study.

    Heat transfer enhancement in cylindrical fins through longitudinal parabolic perforations

    Cuce, Erdem; Oztekin, Erman Kadir; Cuce, Pinar Mert

    In our previous works, it is clearly addressed that optimisation of fin profile is of vital importance in terms of the rate of heat transfer from a hot surface, and the optimisation procedure depends on several factors. Within the scope of this research, a longitudinal cylindrical fin profile is under interest for the optimisation research. The purpose is to investigate the effects of longitudinal parabolic perforations on the fin parameters such as temperature distribution, effectiveness and efficiency, in which the fin surface is cooled by natural convection and radiation. Different concavity levels are considered to form parabolic perforations. The rate of heat transfer from fin surface is numerically correlated with the fin mass with respect to different concavity levels. According to results, heat transfer from unit fin mass is enhanced with the new designs. The outcome of the study can be used to optimise the needs for particular applications by making a decision between heat loss and weight options. That is, the increase in the concavity level of the perforation results in a lighter and cheaper design, but yielding a lower heat loss. However, heat transfer from unit mass is still enhanced.

    Vertically oriented graphene nano-sheets grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique at low temperature

    Bayram, Ozkan; Simsek, Onder

    In this study, it was aimed to obtain vertically-oriented graphene nano-sheets (VGNs) on copper foils using CH 4 gas as the precursor material by means of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique. VGNs were obtained at 50 W, 75 W and 100 W Radio Frequency (RF) powers by this technique and the effect of RF power on the morphological structure of graphene layers was investigated. VGNs were also analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. The SEM images showed that the VGNs became more tightly packed with the increase of RF power and thus these coating parameters had a significant effect on the morphological structure. WCA analyzes for VGNs were also performed and it was found that VGNs obtained at 100 W RF power had higher contact angle value than the other RF powers. These VGNs, which have both large surface area and optically transparent, are thought to be materials that have the potential to be used in supercapacitors and solar cells.

    Gul, Volkan

    Because of sunflower is well adapted to the conditions of all region types, it ranks the first in terms of vegetable oil production in our country. The content of fatty acids that determine the quality of sunflower oil is affected by factors such as genotype and environment, especially climate and soil struc-ture. This research examines the oil and fatty acid ratios of sunflower grains grown on a producer basis and presented to the market in 2015 in Samsun (Bafra, Vezirkopru and Havza), Amasya (Merzifon), Corum (Center) and Tokat (Turhal) in the Middle Black Sea Region selected according to the density of oil sunflower to determine the quality of oil. According to the results of the research, average fat ratio was found to be between 41.57% and 45.67%, palmitic and stearic acids, which are basic saturated fatty acids, between 5.65% and 6.44% and from 3.84% and 4.81% linoleic acid (omega 6), linolenic acid (omega 3) and oleic acids (omega 9), which are unsaturated fatty acids, were found between 50.33 and 63.42%, 0.24 and 0.29% and 25.32 and 37.50%, respectively. These results indicate that the sun-flower seeds cultivated in the Amasya-Merzifon re-gion are at the forefront due to their oil quality char- A cteristics.

    Response surface methodology as optimization strategy for asymmetric bioreduction of acetophenone using whole cell of Lactobacillus senmaizukei

    Çolak, Nida Sezin; Şahin, Engin; Dertli, Enes; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Taylan, Osman

    Whole cell applications are one of the main methodologies for the bioreduction of prochiral ketones to obtain enantiomerically rich chiral secondary alcohols which are mainly affected by the culture parameters of the whole cell. In this study, whole cell of Lactobacillus senmaizukei as a safe Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) was used for the reduction of acetophenone and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) application was used to optimize the culture parameters in terms of temperature, pH, incubation time, and agitation level to obtain the highest enantiomeric excess (ee) and conversion rate. The predicted optimum conditions for the bioreduction with whole cell Lactobacillus senmaizukei were found to be pH of 5.25, temperature of 25 °C, incubation time of 72 hr, and agitation level of 100 rpm. Importantly, the efficiency of the reduction of the acetophenone was significantly affected by the linear and quadratic effects of culture parameters. These findings are important to show the role of culture parameters for the bioreduction reactions and also the efficiency of the RSM technique to optimize these parameters.

    Effects of autochthonous Lactobacillus plantarum strains on Listeria monocytogenes in sucuk during ripening

    Kamiloğlu, Aybike; Kaban, Güzin; Kaya, Mükerrem

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of autochthonous Lactobacillus plantarum strains (S50, S51, S72, S74, and S85) as starter cultures on growth of Listeria monocytogenes in sucuk (Turkish dry fermented sausage) production. The counts of L. monocytogenes, lactic acid bacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae as well as pH value and moisture content were determined in sucuk during ripening period. L. monocytogenes, lactic acid bacteria, and pH value were significantly affected (p < 0.01) by both starter culture and ripening period. A slight increase in L. monocytogenes count was observed in the control group whereas a reduction was observed in samples produced with L. plantarum strains at the first day of fermentation. Although L. monocytogenes reduction in control group with spontaneous microbiota was 0.54 log cfu/g after 11 days of ripening, reductions of as high as 2.74 log cfu/g was observed in the presence of L. plantarum S50. Practical applications: In the current study, five different autochthonous Lactobacillus plantarum isolates were identified, the effects of these strains on the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes in Turkish fermented sausage (sucuk) were determined. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report investigating the effects of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria strains on behavior of L. monocytogenes in sucuk fermentation. As starter culture autochthonous lactic acid bacteria can be more competitive than commercial types. Our findings reveal the importance of the use of these autochthonous L. plantarum strains causes rapid pH drop to inhibit L. monocytogenes growth during sucuk fermentation. And also L. plantarum S50 strain may be more suitable for use as bioprotective culture or starter culture compared to other strains.

    Leaded brass alloys for gamma-ray shielding applications

    Şakar, Erdem; Büyükyıldız, Mehmet; Alım, Bünyamin; Şakar, Betül Ceviz; Kurudirek, Murat

    The leaded brasses show high machinability and atmospheric corrosion resistance. Hence, they are being used in different applications such as machine parts, valves, fittings etc. Besides, they can serve as radiation shields as they contain lead and their radiation shielding properties were not investigated so far. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the radiation shielding properties of leaded brasses. Standard (CuZn) and leaded (CuZnPb) brasses were prepared and their mass attenuation coefficients (μ/ρ), half-value layers (HVL), tenth-value layers (TVL), mean free paths (MFP) and effective atomic numbers (Z eff ) were determined. Linear attenuation coefficients (μ) of the alloys were measured first at 53, 276, 302, 356 and 383 keV using a HPGe detector and a 133 Ba radioactive source. These values were then used to obtain other parameters. A good agreement was observed between experimental and theoretical results for HVL, TVL and MFP (Dif. ≤ 9%). Photon buildup through the present materials was studied in terms of exposure buildup factor (EBF). Results were presented and discussed regarding the photon energy and penetration depths. Fast neutron removal cross sections were also calculated for the given alloys. Some alloys were also evaluated morphologically by using EDX mapping. The leaded brasses were compared with standard shielding concretes and superior shielding properties against gammas and fast neutrons were obtained when compared with concretes.

    Evaluating the grinding process of granitic rocks using the physico-mechanical and mineralogical properties

    Kahraman, Sair; Ucurum, Metin; Yogurtcuoglu, Emine; Fener, Mustafa

    Granitic rocks are sometimes ground for different purposes. Predicting the mean particle size (d50) is useful for planning and cost estimation of purposes. In order to investigate the possibility of predicting the d50 of ground rock from the physico-mechanical rock properties, six different granites were tested in the laboratory. First, the d50 values were correlated with the corresponding physico-mechanical properties. The simple regression analysis showed that there were no good correlations between the d50 and the physico-mechanical properties. Then, the multiple regression analysis was carried out and strong prediction equations were developed. It was also shown that the dominant parameter in grinding was the abrasive mineral content of rock. It is concluded that the d50 of granites can be predicted from the derived multiple regression equations especially for preliminary investigations. The developed estimation equations including index test values are especially useful since they are easy to use.

    Nisin and curcumin loaded (NCL) nanomats having 172 nm mean diameter were successfully fabricated. The effect of NCL nanomats in terms of limitation of Total Mesophilic Aerobic (TMAB) and Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in fish fillets was tested during the analysis period. On the 4th day, while TMAB load of C was 6.61 log CFU g−1, that of the sample coated with NCL nanomats was found to be 3.28 log CFU g−1. TMAB load of control samples reached above 6 log CFU g−1 on the 4th day of cold storage, TMAB load of fish samples coated with nanomats reached the same level up to the 12th day. The shelf life of coated fillets was extended to 12 day. 3–4 logarithmic decrease was obtained in LAB count by NCL nanomats during the analysis period. On the 4th storage day, the hardness value of C sample decreased 21% compared to NCL samples. All sensory attributes of C samples were acceptable by the 4th day of the storage; while sensory attributes of NCL samples were acceptable by the 10th day of storage. The study revealed that nisin and curcumin loaded nanomats could be effectively used to improve the quality of fish fillets.

    Detecting housing price bubbles using panel unit roots tests

    Korkmaz, Özge

    The current developments in the global economy indicate that fluctuations in housing price have important effect on macroeconomic stability. Housing price is one of the indicators of household prosperity. Therefore, excessive volatility in housing market may influence macroeconomic prosperity. Especially it has recently seen higher increases in housing price in Turkey than in previous years. The aim of the study is to investigate regional house price bubbles in Turkish housing market using different panel unit root tests, which are CADF, SURADF, PANKPSS, Fourier KSS, sequential ADF and generalized sequential ADF unit root tests and KPSS stationarity test with sharp and smooth breaks. Therefore, the advantages and performances of so-called unit root tests were compared. The results of the analysis show that the presence of the bubbles in some regions was evidenced by CADF and SURADF unit root tests, while any evidence regarding the presence of bubble was not found by PANKPSS, FKSS unit root tests and KPSS stationarity test with sharp and smooth breaks. This study contributes to the existing literature in comparing of new methods used in detecting of the bubbles in housing prices.

    Hydrogen generation via the catalytic hydrolysis of morpholine-borane: A new, efficient and cost-effective hydrogen storage medium

    Can, Hasan; Metin, Önder

    Herein, for the first time, we introduce the morpholine-borane complex (MB) as a new, efficient, cost-effective and commercially available chemical hydrogen storage material for mobile applications. In this regard, hydrogen production from the hydrolysis of MB catalyzed by in situ generated water-soluble polymer stabilized Ag(0) and Pd(0) nanoparticles (NPs) is reported for the first time. In situ generated PSMA-stabilized Ag(0) and Pd(0) NPs showed remarkable activity in hydrogen production from the hydrolysis of MB at room temperature, providing initial TOFs of 16.1 min−1 and 37.3 min−1, respectively. A set of kinetic studies on the catalytic hydrolysis of MB were conducted by changing the catalyst/substrate amount and temperature, and the rate law expression and activation parameters were produced by collecting the kinetic data. The apparent activation energies for the in situ generated Ag(0) and Pd(0) NPs catalyzed MB hydrolysis were calculated to be 71.4 and 32.5 kJ mol−1, respectively.

    Biocatalyzed Enantiomerically Pure Production of (S)-Phenyl(thiophen-2-yl)methanol

    Şahin, Engin; Dertli, Enes

    Chiral aryl heteroaryl methanols are important precursors for the synthesis of pharmaceutically important molecules. The aims of this study were to use a biocatalyst that could efficiently bioreduce phenyl(thiophen2- yl) methanone 1 to (S)-phenyl(thiophen-2-yl) methanol 2, to identify the impact of the physicochemical factors that might affect the bioreduction by the biocatalyst, and to obtain multigram production of aryl heteroaryl secondary alcohol 2 with the biocatalyst under optimized conditions. Over the years, the (S)phenyl( thiophen-2-yl) methanol was synthesized on a small scale using a chemical catalyst without its enantiomerically pure form. In this study, Lactobacillus paracasei BD101 was used for the asymmetric reduction of phenyl(thiophen-2-yl) methanone to (S)-phenyl(thiophen-2-yl) methanol in the large-scale production. The asymmetric bioreduction conditions were systematically optimized, and the production of 3.77 g of (S)-phenyl(thiophen-2-yl) methanol was carried out in enantiomerically pure form > 99% enantiomeric excess (ee), > 99% conversion, and 90% yield. This method obtained with this biocatalyst is a process that can be used industrially in terms of conversion, ee, and yield. This study provides guidance for the application of L. paracasei BD101 in the production of optically active aryl heteroaryl alcohols.

    Partial characterization of a levan type exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides showing immunostimulatory and antioxidant activities

    Taylan, Osman; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Dertli, Enes

    Leuconostoc mesenteroides S81 was isolated from traditional sourdough as an exopolysaccharide (EPS) producer strain. The monosaccharide composition of the EPS from strain S81 was characterized by HPLC analysis and only fructose was found in the repeating unit structure. The NMR spectroscopy analysis revealed that EPS was a levan type EPS as a β-(2 → 6)-linked fructan. The FTIR analysis further confirmed the presence of the furanoid rings in the EPS structure. The levan S81 showed high level of thermal stability determined by DSC and TGA analysis. The lyophilised levan S81 showed a sheet-like compact morphology and its aqueous solution formed spheroidal lumps with a compact structure detected by SEM and AFM analysis, respectively. Importantly the levan S81 showed a high level of immunomodulatory role, induced the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4, and exhibited a strong antioxidant capacity with EC50 value 1.7 mg mL−1 obtained by hydroxyl radical scavenging activity test under in vitro conditions. These findings reveal potential of levan S81 for technological purposes and as a potential natural immunomodulatory and antioxidant.

    Comparative study of hot and cold press and their effect on superconducting properties of coronene added bulk MgB2

    Erdem, O.

    In this study, the superconducting properties of 4 wt% coronene (C24H12) added polycrystalline bulk MgB2 samples prepared by hot pressing and cold pressing, were reported in detail. The results were compared to determine one of which pressing methods is more useful to substitute of carbon released from C24H12 into MgB2 structure and to increase the superconducting properties of MgB2. The lattice strain, crystallite size, residual resistivity, superconducting transition temperature (Tc), critical current density (Jc), flux pinning force density (Fp) and vertical/lateral levitation force (Fz, Fx) were analysed for the hot and cold pressed samples. The a-lattice parameter and Tc value reduced sharply for 4 wt% C24H12 added cold pressed sample, resulting in a notable decrease of increment ratio of Jc and Fp values, while the depressing of Tc is lower for 4 wt% C24H12 added hot pressed sample. The cold pressing strongly increased the lattice strain, confirming more C substitution, while the hot pressing ensured smaller crystallite size. The Jc and Fp values were respectively found as 4.6 × 103 A/cm2, 1.3 × 104 A/cm2, 5.8 × 103 A/cm2 and 1.8 × 108 N/m3, 5.1 × 108 N/m3, 2.3 × 108 N/m3 for the pure sample and, 4 wt% C24H12 added hot and cold pressed samples at 20 K, 4 T. The maximum repulsive and attractive levitation force values at 20 K in ZFC and FC regimes were obtained for the 4 wt% C24H12 added hot pressed sample. Finally, the hot pressing provides an effective way to substitute C into MgB2 lattice without a remarkable decrease of Tc value, ensuring more homogenous and compacted structure, more electron–phonon interaction and strong flux pinning force.
