    Performance of Jaya algorithm in optimum design of cold-formed steel frames

    Artar, Musa

    This paper presents a research on optimum design of cold-formed steel space frames using a new algorithm method named Jaya, which has been developed in recent years. The most obvious difference of Jaya algorithm from other algorithms is that it does not need any control parameters for updating. However, Jaya algorithm is able to successfully reach the optimum solutions without any delay. In this study, in order to test the robustness and practicality of this novel algorithm technique, different steel space frame problems that have been studied with other algorithms in literature are examined. The minimum weight designs of the problems are carried out by selecting suitable C-section from a prepared list including 85 C-sections with lips taken from American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI 2008). A program is coded in MATLAB interacting with SAP2000 OAPI (Open Application Programming Interface) in order to obtain optimum solutions. The strength constraints according to AISI-LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design), lateral displacement constraints, inter-story drift constraints and geometrical constraints are taken into account in the analyses. Two different cold-formed steel space frames are taken from literature to research optimum solutions by using Jaya algorithm. The first steel space frame is 379-member and the second steel space frame is 1211-member. The results obtained using Jaya algorithm are compared with those in reference studies. The results prove that Jaya algorithm technique is quite successful and practical optimum design of cold-formed steel space frames.

    Thermodynamic feasibility analysis of a newly modified absorption power cycle running with LiBr-water

    Tozlu, Alperen; Yosaf, Salem A.; Özcan, Hasan

    This study thermodynamically evaluates a newly modified absorption power cycle (APC) working with Lithium Bromide–Water (LiBr-H2O) solution and compares it with the conventional Rankine, one-stage, and three-stage APC systems. An additional steam condenser is integrated to the conventional APC and part of pure water is extracted and pumped back to the high-pressure side without passing through the absorber of the cycle. In order to specify the best system parameters, parametric optimization of all configurations is evaluated. The Rankine cycle and the modified APC have better thermodynamic performances than those of the conventional and the three-stage APC at generator temperatures. The conventional APC is found to improve the cycle performance at low generator pressure. However, the efficiencies of this cycle start to decrease when generator pressure increases. In contrast, the Rankine cycle and the modified APC have larger working ranges of generator pressure.

    The effect of sustainable development on economics complexity in oecd countries; [El efecto del desarrollo sostenible en la complejidad económica de los países de la ocde]

    Yaprakli, Sevda; Özden, Erdemalp

    Economic complexity showing a holistic measure of countries' economic productive power and characteristics has become a new tool for understanding the dynamics of the economy. Examining the relationship between sustainable development and this new tool is vital in determining new policies. By applying panel data of OECD countries covering different development levels from 1996 to 2017 to a data-driven dynamic econometric model, the research provides fresh insight between sustainable development and economic complexity. The results indicate that economic complexity is significantly affected by sustainable developments’ economic indicators such as GDP, FDI, R&D expenditure, social indicators such as human development, income inequality, and environmental indicators such as production-based CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, and greenhouse gas. The research, consequently, suggests that switching to technology and knowledge-based production processes, expanding qualified production factor capacity, raising social living standards, and making investments in the green economy will foster economic complexity while ensuring stable sustainability.

    Vitamin, mineral, polyphenol, amino acid profile of bee pollen from Rhododendron ponticum (source of “mad honey”): nutritional and palynological approach

    Ecem Bayram, Nesrin

    In this study, it was aimed to characterize the pollen collected by bees from the Rhododenron ponticum plant, which is the source of mad honey, in terms of some parameters. In the first stage, the botanical origin of the sample was confirmed by palynological analysis supported by light microscopic images. Then, the chemical profile of Rhododenron ponticum bee pollen was examined in terms of 31 elements, 42 amino acids, 33 phenolics and vitamins A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B7, B12, C, E, K1 and K2. The total individual phenolic compound content of Rhododendron ponticum bee pollen was determined as 11928.23 µg/100 g, total element content as 13997.75 mg/kg, total free amino acid content as 149466.11 µg/g and total vitamin content as 20509.37 µg/100 g. In addition, it was characterized by a low content of vitamin A (retinol), B7, B12, K2, as well as a deficiency of vitamin K1. As a result of analysis with LC-MS-MS, it was found that it contains L-asparagine and myricetin in a significantly higher concentration compared to other amino acids and phenolic compounds. However, the presence of phenolic compounds (myricetin, epicatechin, tyrosol etc.) and amino acids (L-asparagine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, L- Tryptophan etc.) with significant biological activity indicates that this product is a bee product with high medicinal properties. Moreover, the significant presence of Mg, P, Fe and Ca, high K/Na ratio, vitamin C, B2, B5 and B6 content makes bee pollen collected from Rhododendron ponticum plant attractive for diets.

    Başar, Şule; Karaoğlu, Mehmet Murat

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Cephalaria syriaca flour (CSF; 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5%) on the physical, textural and rheological characteristics of dough and bread obtained from sunn pest-damaged wheat (SPDW; 5, 10 and 15%). An increased CSF level significantly decreased the stickiness and volume loss values of dough and the firmness and chewiness values of bread for all SPDW levels. The dough stickiness and bread firmness values were considerably increased by the addition of SPDW at the 15% level (1.05 N and 29.76 N), whereas these values were reduced by the addition of 1.5% CSF (0.6439 N and 22.56 N). In general, the stress relaxation, gas retention and gluten extensibility parameters of dough; and the specific volume, colour, cohesiveness, springiness and resilience values of bread significantly increased depending on the increasing level of CSF. Especially, the 1.5% CSF level significantly improved the quality of the dough and breads. The results of the present study revealed that CSF addition to SPDW flour positively affected the stickiness, gas retention and stress relaxation of dough and the specific volume and instrumental textural properties of bread.

    Double-exponential current-voltage (I-V) behavior of bilayer graphene-based Schottky diode

    Kutluoǧlu, Esra Efil; Orhan, Elif Oz; Tataroǧlu, Adem; Bayram, Ozkan

    Researches on layered materials such as graphene have attracted lots of attention recently. It has been shown that these materials have make a junction with many semiconductor materials that behave like Schottky diodes and have rectifying characteristics. The comprehension of its fabrication process and properties are a critical need toward graphene-based integrated electronics. The purpose of this study is to find out the current-voltage (I-V) performance of Bilayer Graphene (BLGr) based heterostructure fabricated on Al2O3/p-Si, and the effect of BLGr on diode parameters. Graphene has been grown on copper (Cu) foil by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method and transferred onto Al2O3/p-Si by using the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) wet transfer method. Raman analysis has been performed to obtain supportive information about CVD synthesized graphene film. The I-V plot of the diode exhibited two linear regions named Region 1 (0.08-0.19 V) and Region 2 (0.21-0.40 V). The double-exponential I-V behavior of the diode has been analyzed. The diode characteristics such as barrier height (ΦB0), series resistance (Rs), and ideality factor (n) have been calculated by using thermionic emission (TE), Norde, and Cheung methods. Especially, the values of the barrier height were compared with one another. It was found that they are in good agreement. Additionally, current conduction mechanisms of the diode were investigated using the forward bias ln(I) versus ln (V) plot. At lower and higher forward bias regions, the conduction mechanisms were determined as ohmic behavior and trap charge limiting current mechanism (TCLC), respectively.

    Frictionless contact mechanics of an orthotropic coating/isotropic substrate system

    Öner, Erdal

    This study has been performed to investigate the receding contact problem of a homogeneous orthotropic coating that is not bonded to a homogeneous isotropic substrate without any interfacial defects. The isotropic substrate is supported on a Winkler foundation. The problem is solved assuming that the contact between the rigid punch and orthotropic coating, and that between the orthotropic coating and isotropic substrate, are frictionless. Additionally, the effect of the body forces is neglected, and only compressive normal tractions can be transmitted through the interfaces. The contact analysis of the orthotropic coating, which is subjected to a contact load using a rigid cylindrical punch, is performed under plane strain conditions. The governing equations are analytically found using the theory of elasticity and Fourier integral transformation techniques. Subsequently, the governing equations are reduced to a system of two singular equations, wherein the unknowns are the contact stresses and contact widths. To numerically solve the resulting singular integral equations, Gauss-Chebyshev integration formulas are employed. It is analyzed the influence of the following parameters on the contact stresses and contact widths: orthotropic-material properties, punch radius, load ratio, Winkler foundation stiffness.

    Investigation of continuous and discontinuous contact cases in the contact mechanics of graded materials using analytical method and FEM

    Yaylacı, Murat; Adıyaman, Gökhan; Öner, Erdal; Birinci, Ahmet

    The aim of this paper was to examine the continuous and discontinuous contact problems between the functionally graded (FG) layer pressed with a uniformly distributed load and homogeneous half plane using an analytical method and FEM. The FG layer is made of non-homogeneous material with an isotropic stress–strain law with exponentially varying properties. It is assumed that the contact at the FG layer-half plane interface is frictionless, and only the normal tractions can be transmitted along the contacted regions. The body force of the FG layer is considered in the study. The FG layer was positioned on the homogeneous half plane without any bonds. Thus, if the external load was smaller than a certain critical value, the contact between the FG layer and half plane would be continuous. However, when the external load exceeded the critical value, there was a separation between the FG layer and half plane on the finite region, as discontinuous contact. Therefore, there have been some steps taken in this study. Firstly, an analytical solution for continuous and discontinuous contact cases of the problem has been realized using the theory of elasticity and Fourier integral transform techniques. Then, the problem modeled and two-dimensional analysis was carried out by using ANSYS package program based on FEM. Numerical results for initial separation distance and contact stress distributions between the FG layer and homogeneous half plane for continuous contact case; the start and end points of separation and contact stress distributions between the FG layer and homogeneous half plane for discontinuous contact case were provided for various dimensionless quantities including material inhomogeneity, distributed load width, the shear module ratio and load factor for both methods. The results obtained using FEM were compared with the results found using analytical formulation. It was found that the results obtained from analytical formulation were in perfect agreement with the FEM study.

    Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin; Tongur, Aymelek; Kara, Ümmügülsüm

    This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical and textural characteristics of bread produced from doughs composed of high-pressure homogenization (HPH) treated flour slurries. For this purpose, bread samples were produced from doughs composed of HPH treated flour slurries at 0 (control), 20, 30, 50, and 70 MPa. HPH treatment resulted in decreased particle size with more uniformity in flour slurries. A monomodal particle size distribution was determined in slurries. HPH obtained higher firmness, consistency, and cohesivity in slurries. In bread samples, HPH increased yellowness and lightness values. The bread samples prepared from HPH treatment had 1.09–1.25 times higher specific volumes than the control sample. HPH treatment provided decreased hardness and increased cohesiveness and springiness values. Image analysis results showed HPH treatment decreased total cell count, whereas increased mean cell area of bread samples. The findings revealed that HPH treatment results in higher quality bread compared to control.

    Relationship between hydraulic and geoelectrical parameters for alluvial aquifers in Bursa, Turkey—a case study

    Eryılmaz Türkkan, Gökçen; Korkmaz, Serdar

    This research aims at analyzing the relationship between the hydraulic conductivity and the formation factor in alluvial aquifers. The study was conducted on the alluvial aquifers within the province of Bursa, Turkey. Field surveys were carried out on 12 different locations each having alluvial formation. Initially, slug tests were applied at the wells and hydraulic conductivity values were calculated by using Bouwer-Rice and Dagan analytic methods. Afterwards, vertical electrical sounding method with Schlumberger array was applied on these locations to obtain apparent resistivity. These values were then converted to real resistivity under IPI2WIN software. Water samples were taken from the wells, and their electrical conductivity values were measured in the laboratory which were converted to water resistivity. Finally, formation factor was calculated as a ratio of real resistivity to water resistivity. The variations of hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity values against the formation factor were examined, and a linear relation was observed. Furthermore, their variations against modified formation factor and modified aquifer resistivity were also investigated and similarly linear relationships were observed. The graphs obtained conform to the results of similar studies in literature and will serve as a guideline for prospective groundwater research in the study area.

    Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Levitation Force Parameters of Novel Multisurface Halbach HTS-PMG Arrangement for Superconducting Maglev System

    Ozturk, Kemal; Badia-Majos, Antonio; Abdioglu, Murat; Dilek, Durukan Burak; Gedikli, Hasan

    We have designed multisurface Halbach high temperature superconductor-permanent magnetic guideway (HTS-PMG) arrangements for magnetically levitated transportation (Maglev) and investigated the static force parameters in addition to the dynamic response characteristics. Three different Halbach HTS-PMG arrangements were used with multisurface (6 HTS, 4 HTS) and single surface (2 HTS) configurations and static and dynamic measurements were carried out in three different field cooling heights (FCHs). The bigger vertical loading capacity and wider loading gap were obtained with multisurface Halbach HTS-PMG arrangements. In addition, nearly four times bigger guidance force values of multisurface arrangements than that of single surface one indicates that the side HTSs in multisurface arrangements make a significant contribution to the guidance force and thus lateral movement stability of Maglev systems. Both the vertical and lateral dynamic stiffness values increased with decreasing FCH and it can be also said that the dynamic stiffness properties of Maglev systems can be enhanced especially in lateral direction by using the multisurface Halbach HTS-PMG arrangements. Understanding of these experimental observations is supported by dedicated theoretical modelling through a 2-D approximation of the system. We show that by using a single material parameter (the critical current density J_bf c) for the whole superconducting set, one may satisfactorily predict the complete series of experiments. The static and dynamic parameters obtained from this study and the results of dedicated theoretical modeling for single-surface and multisurface HTS-PMG arrangements are thought to be helpful for the researchers working on static and dynamic performances of HTS Maglev systems.

    Municipal solid waste-based district heating and electricity production: A case study

    Tozlu, Alperen; Abusoglu, Aysegul; Ozahi, Emrah; Anvari-Moghaddam, Amjad

    In this paper, municipal solid waste (MSW) based electricity production and district heating (DH) potential of Turkey are considered. Three MSW based waste-to-energy (WtE) scenarios is developed: (i) Scenario-I, a DH system integrated into a gas turbine power plant (GTPP), (ii) Scenario-II, a DH system integrated into an organic Rankine cycle (ORC), and (iii) Scenario-III, which is based solely on a DH system. As a result of the thermodynamic and thermoeconomic analyzes of these developed scenarios using an existing MSW-based cogeneration facility's actual operating data, the system with the most extended payback period (about 5 years) is found as the GTPP-DH system developed in Scenario-I, which also has the highest investment cost. On the other hand, the system with the shortest payback period (about 2 years) is found as the DH system developed in Scenario-III, which also has the lowest investment cost. Overall exergy efficiencies of the GTTP-DH, ORC-DH, and DH systems are found to be 41.86%, 16.15%, and 31.87%, respectively. When the developed WtE scenarios adapted to the pilot provinces selected from each geographical region of Turkey, it is found that the GTPP system developed in Scenario-I can increase the power generation capacity of MSW plants for each province by about 20%.

    Pb (II) biosorption from the aqueous solutions by raw and modified tea factory waste (TFW)

    Nuhoğlu, Y.; Ekmekyapar Kul, Z.; Kul, S.; Nuhoğlu, Ç.; Ekmekyapar Torun, F.

    The study is aimed to determine Pb (II) biosorption from synthetic wastewaters using natural and modified tea factory waste as biosorbent material. This process is carried out with this waste matter, which is found in large quantities, so cheap and has high metal adsorption ability. The sorption kinetic studies were determined as variations of initial pH value, particle size, initial Pb (II) and tea factory waste concentrations, stirring speed and temperature. Biosorption reached the equilibrium in 15 min. Zeta potential values of the biosorbent were defined in the range of pH 2 to 4. The adsorption isotherm models give the experimental values, and the thermodynamic characteristics of the patterns generally give insight about the sorption mechanism depending on the surface characteristics and affinity of the biosorbent. The biosorption mechanism was searched considering to Freundlich, Langmuir, BET and Temkin isotherm model, and the experimental adsorption values were conformed to Freundlich adsorption model. The optimum experimental conditions were investigated as pH 3.5, particle size of 0.125–0.25 mm, stirring speed of 200 rpm, biosorbent concentration of 7 g L−1 and 25 °C. In these conditions, the highest efficiency of biosorption was obtained as 94.07% and after the activating process the efficiency was reached to 97.73% at 70 mg L−1. The maximum Pb (II) removal capacity of raw tea factory waste was found to be 22.111 mg g−1 at 200 mg L−1. The biosorption kinetics has complied with the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic studies stated that this biosorption phenomenon was an endothermic process.

    Evaluation of Social Security Cooperation between Turkey and Central Asian Turkish Republics; [Orta Asya Türk Cumhuriyetleri ile Türkiye Arasında Sosyal Güvence İş Birliklerinin Değerlendirilmesi]

    Bulut, Mehmet

    One of the most important problems of international migration for immigrants is the issue of social security. As a matter of fact, the people who went to work abroad from their countries either remained completely out of the system or became a part of both countries with the effect of strict rules in social security legislation. In order to solve this problem, countries are introducing bilateral social security agreements as well as domestic legal systems. The human mobility occurred between the Central Asian Turkish Republics and Turkey have increased cumulatively at over the years. As a result of this, the social security cooperation to be realized is not yet sufficient and necessary steps should be taken. Currently, there are bilateral social security agreements that have been ratified with Azerbaijan and Kyrgyzstan. However, there are problems at the point of application.

    An analysis of the role of the social acceptance of university students’ bicycle use in sustainable urban development when epidemics spread

    Saatchian, Vahid; Azimkhani, Amin; Honari, Habib; Türkmen, Mutlu

    The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the acceptance of university students’ bicycle use in sustainable urban development in Iran when epidemics spread. The research method was descriptive-correlational, and the investigation was carried out as a field study. The statistical population of the study consisted of university students, 254 of whom were selected by a simple random sampling method to participate in the research. The research instrument was a questionnaire based on the Sustainable Development with a reliability coefficient of 0.83; the social acceptance component was based on the theory of planned behaviour with a reliability coefficient of 0.8. As the results of the investigation have demonstrated, the bicycle plays a significant role in the development of the socialization process of people, and there is a positive and significant relationship between social acceptance and sustainable development (p<0.05). Furthermore, 20% of sustainable development change was achieved through the dimensions of social acceptance (planned behaviour theory). Finally, it can be argued that perceived behaviour in social acceptance is most likely to play a significant role in the emergence of sustainable development by external factors such as encouragements and persuasion of the family, important people, friends, acquaintances, and even by the existing norms in society. Subsequently, as people change their mindset when epidemics spread, they can turn all the behaviours they manifest in their leisure time into a culture development movement.

    Assessment of different solution methods for receding contact problems in functionally graded layered mediums

    Yaylacı, Murat; Eyüboğlu, Ayşegül; Adıyaman, Gökhan; Yaylacı, Ecren Uzun; Öner, Erdal; Birinci, Ahmet

    This paper presents a comparative study of different methods, such as the analytical method, finite element method (FEM), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) for analyzing a frictionless receding contact problem. The problem consists of two layers resting on a Winkler foundation. The top layer is functionally graded (FG) along the depth and pressed using a rigid cylindrical stamp, whereas the bottom layer is homogeneous. We assumed that the contact between the two layers, and that between the FG layer and the rigid cylindrical stamp are frictionless; additionally, compressive normal tractions can be transmitted through the interface. First, the problem was solved analytically using the theory of elasticity and integral transform techniques. Second, the finite element solution of the problem was obtained using ANSYS software. Finally, the problem was extended based on the MLP, which an artificial neural network used for different problem parameters. The results of this study showed that the variations in the contact lengths at the interface between the rigid cylindrical stamp and the FG layer, those between the homogeneous layer and the FG layer, and the maximum contact pressures at these interfaces depended on various dimensionless quantities such as the stamp radius, stiffness parameter, shear modulus ratio, and elastic spring constant ratio. We observed that the results obtained with the three different methods, namely the analytical method, FEM, and MLP, are extremely compatible with each other, thus proving the accuracy of these results.
