    Determination of protein and gluten quality-related parameters of wheat flour using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS); [Yakın Kızılötesi Spektroskopisi (NIRS) kullanarak buǧday unlarının protein ve glutenle ilgili kalite parametrelerinin belirlenmesi]

    Başlar, Mehmet; Ertugay, Mustafa Fatih

    Wet chemistry analyses done for quality control purposes in wheat and flour processing are time-consuming. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as an alternative technology to conventional methods allows us to obtain results in a few seconds. In this study, NIRS was used in the development of calibration models for protein, wet and dry gluten contents and Zeleny sedimentation of flours from the grinding of 120 varieties of bread wheat collected from different regions of Turkey. Therefore, spectra in the range of 1100 to 2500 nm of the flours were acquired by scanning with the NIRSystems 6500 monochromator. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and partial least squares (PLS) regression were applied to the spectral data in log 1/R, and first derivative and second derivative of log 1/R formats. Reasonable results were obtained for protein, wet and dry gluten contents, and Zeleny sedimentation with r = 0.985, 0.976, 0.953, and 0.924, respectively.

    The effects of silica fume and fly ash on the scaling resistance and flexural strength of pavement concretes

    Yener, Engin; Hinislioğlu, Sinan

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Silica Fume (SF) and Fly Ash (FA) additives on the frost salt scaling resistance and flexural strength properties of pavement concrete. An attempt is also made to attain a more durable and higher strength concrete by a suitable combination of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), SF and FA. SF and FA are used as cement replacement in proportions of 0, 5, 10% and 0, 5, 10, 15% by weight respectively. Flexural strength is tested after 7, 28 and 91 days of the lime saturated water curing period. The experimental results indicate that using FA only decreases while SF only slightly increases 28-days flexural strength. On the other hand, using SF and FA together shows relatively more strength gain. Among all those tested, maximum 28 days flexural strength of 4.53 MPa is obtained for the mix proportions of 85% OPC + 10% FA and 5% SF. SF significantly decreases the amount of liquid absorption by capillary suction and has a significant effect on the scaling resistance. In addition, all the ternary mixtures showes better scaling resistance than the control mixture with 100% OPC.

    Airy's functions in nonlocal elasticity

    Altan, Burhanettin S.

    Nanostructured devices and materials, such as carbon nanotubes, Atomic Force Microscope, MEMS, etc. attract increasing attention in the scientific world. It has been realized that the classical elasticity is not capable to capture the mechanical behavior of them precisely. There is a wide consensus among the scientists that nonlocal elasticity is more capable than the classical counterpart to model the mechanical behavior of nanostructured materials and devices. In this paper a method which is useful for solving problems in nonlocal is introduced. Airy's stress functions for plane stress problems in nonlocal elasticity are studied. The nonlocal constitutive equations in integral form are discussed and a method is suggested to invert the constitutive equation which allows expressing strains in terms of stresses. A qualitative discussion is given on this inversion process. For the nonlocality kernel of exponential form, the differential equation for Airy's functions in nonlocal elasticity is obtained by introducing the strains into the compatibility condition. Appropriate polynomial forms for the Airy's function are considered and are applied to solve beam bending problems. The solutions are compared with their classical counterparts. The results are given in a series of figures and tables and are discussed in detail. This paper is concluded by indicating the implications of the presented study in nanomechanics and nanotechnology.

    Synthesis of sterically constrained tricyclic pyrrolidinyl alcohol ligands for the enantioselective ethylation of aryl aldehydes: Assessment of the influence of ring strain and N-alkyl chain length on asymmetric induction

    Sahin, Engin; Kilic, Hamdullah

    A series of chiral sterically constrained tricyclic pyrrolidinyl alcohol ligands were synthesized from the appropriate amino acids, and a comparative study of the activity and selectivity of the ligands for the enantioselective ethylation of aromatic aldehydes was carried out. The results obtained were compared with those previously reported for related monocyclic analogues; it was found that the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane backbone fused to pyrrolidine and the groups attached to the carbinol centre, as well as the chain length of the β-amino alcohol, had a marked effect on the enantioselectivity. The enantioselective addition of dialkylzincs to aryl aldehydes in the presence of ligands with diethyl substituents on the carbinol carbon afforded (R)-sec-alcohols in up to 99% enantiomeric excess (ee).

    Gunes, Sibel; Manay, Eyuphan; Senyigit, Ercan; Ozceyhan, Veysel

    This study presents the determination of the optimum values of the design parameters in a tube with equilateral triangular cross-sectioned coiled wire inserts. The effects of the design parameters such as the ratio of the distance between the coiled wire and test tube wall to tube diameter (s/D), pitch ratio (P/D), ratio of the side length of equilateral triangle to tube diameter (a/D) and Reynolds number (Re) on heat transfer and pressure drop were investigated by using Taguchi method. The Nusselt number and friction factor were considered as performance parameters. An L9(34) orthogonal array was chosen as experimental plan. The goal of this study is to reach maximum heat transfer (i.e. Nusselt number) and minimum pressure drop (i.e. friction factor). First of all, each goal was optimized, separately. Then, all the goals were optimized together, considering the priority of the goals. Contribution ratios for each parameter on the heat transfer and pressure drop were determined. Consequently, the optimum results were found to be s/D = 0.0357, P/D = 1, a/D = 0.0714 and Re = 19800.

    A new energy saving for the determination of mixing temperature in hot mix asphalts

    Yener, Engin; Hinislioglu, Sinan

    The equi-viscous temperature range of asphalt has long been used in establishing the mixing temperature for mix designs and field production of hot mix asphalt (HMA). However, this method considers only binder viscosity to determine the mixing temperatures of the aggregate and asphalt. It is well known that depending on the gradation of aggregate and the type of plant and the mixing time. The appropriate mixing temperature for the proper coating may be lower than that of the viscosity based method. The excessive temperature causes the possible performance problems related to the hardening of the asphalt binder and increases the energy consumption, the gas emissions and fumes. In this study, a new method for the determination of asphalt-aggregate mixing temperature which considers the mixture properties was introduced to asphalt industry. The mixing temperatures of different nine mixtures were determined by both conventional and the proposed method. The effects of the nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS), crushed coarse aggregate ratio (CCAR), the type of gradation, and the grade of binder on the mixing temperature were evaluated with an experimental study. Results show that decreasing NMAS, CCAR and increasing the grade of binder decreased the mixing temperature which is needed for proper coating. In addition, results showed that as going away from restricted zone of the Superpave gradation, the needed temperature to coat the aggregates decreased. The proposed method resulted in lower temperatures comparing to the conventional method on an average of 13°C. This means a possible energy saving of 14.3 x 10 9 kcal or 1362000 kg of crude oil in a year in Turkey. As a result, the new method is recommended due to not only the saving in energy but also decreasing the gas emissions and fume, and possible performance benefits.

    Şengül, Mustafa; Erkaya, Tuba; Başlar, Mehmet; Ertugay, M. Fatih

    The combined effect of simultaneously applied acoustic energy and ultraviolet irradiation (UV-C), named photosonication, on the population reduction of total and coliform bacteria in raw milk was investigated. Photosonication was carried out at 100% (120 μm; 240 W) amplitude of ultrasound accompanied by UV light of 13.2 W cm-2 while sonication was carried out at 100% amplitude without UV light. An ultrasonic processor (400 W and 24 kHz with a 22 mm diameter probe) and 3 ultraviolet lamps (4400 μW cm-2 per lamp) were used. The exposure time was 15 min for all treatment, and samples were taken after 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 min. Thermal treatment (at 65 °C for 30 min) achieved a 3.29 log and 5.31 log-reduction for total and coliform bacteria, respectively. However, the reduction achieved was 4.79 log cfu mL-1 and 5.31 log cfu mL-1 for total and coliform bacteria, respectively, in photosonication while 1.31 log cfu mL-1 and 4.01 log cfu mL-1 for total and coliform bacteria, respectively in sonication. During photosonication, UV light contributed to an increase of lethality.

    Waste utilization: The removal of textile dye (Bomaplex Red CR-L) from aqueous solution on sludge waste from electrocoagulation as adsorbent

    Yilmaz, Alper Erdem; Boncukcuoglu, Recep; Kocakerim, Muhtar; Karakas, Ibrahim Hakki

    The potential of removing Bomaplex Red CR-L dye from electro coagulation sludge has been investigated for different Bomaplex Red CR-L concentrations with varying adsorbent amount, temperature, pH and stirrer speed. Removal of Bomaplex Red CR-L is found to be high at lower pH values. The maximum adsorption of the dye has been achieved in aqueous solutions using 0.5g of calcinated sludge from electro coagulation at a pH of 2.0 within 20min. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were tested and it was found that the Langmuir equation was fitted better than the Freundlich equation. Maximum adsorption capacity (q m) was calculated as 192.31mg g -1 at 333K. In addition, the adsorption data obtained at various temperatures were successfully applied to pseudo first-order, pseudo second-order and intraparticle diffusion models. The rates of adsorption were found to conform to pseudo second-order kinetics with good correlation (R 2≥0.9997). This study showed that calcinated the sludge from electrocoagulation has a highly adsorbent capacity.

    Engineering properties of medium-to-fine sands injected with microfine cement grout

    Mollamahmutoglu, Murat; Yilmaz, Yuksel

    This article investigates the penetrability of microfine cement suspensions prepared with Rheocem 900 with and without superplasticizer additive into various graded fine-to-medium sands into which chemical grout permeation is only possible. Initially, the basic rheological properties such as viscosity, setting time, and stability of microfine cement suspensions are studied. In addition, penetration performance of the suspensions into various graded fine to medium sand specimens under different grouting pressures is examined. Finally, the strength and permeability characteristics of various graded fine-to-medium sand specimens permeated with microfine cement suspensions are studied. It is found that a superplasticizer additive greatly increases the grouting performance of microfine cement and reduces the grouting pressure. Moreover, it is seen that the unconfined compressive strengths of sand specimens permeated with a cement grout without additive are slightly less than those of sand specimens permeated with cement grout and superplasticizer additive. Further-more, permeability tests on specimens permeated with cement grouts with or without a superplasticizer reveals that all specimens are impermeable (k<1 10 7 m=s).
