Karabacak, M.; Cinar, M.; Kurt, M.; Chinna Babu, P.; Sundaraganesan, N.
The title molecule 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid (1PCA) has been characterized by FTiR, FT-Raman, NMR and UV-Vis spectral analyses. The molecular geometry, harmonic vibrational modes, the corresponding wavenumbers and iR intensities of 1PCA were calculated by DFT method with 6-311G(d, p) basis set. The assignments of the fundamentals were proposed on the basis of total energy distribution (TED) calculations. The calculated 13C and 1H NMR chemical shifts using gauge including atomic orbitals (GiAOs) approach are in good agreement with the observed chemical shifts. The polarizability and first order hyperpolarizability of the title molecule were calculated and interpreted. Using TD-DFT method, the electronic transitions have been compared with the experimental wavelengths. The molecular electrostatic potential map was used for prediction of possible hydrogen and oxygen bonding sites 1PCA molecule.

Bayrak, Ali; Kıralan, Mustafa; Kara, Hasan Hüseyin
This study analyzed volatile aromatic compounds present in the oils of Turkish olive cultivars. The cultivars Gemlik, AyvalIk, Memecik, Domat, Uslu, HalhalI, Kilis yaǧlIk, Nizip yaǧlIk, Haşebi and Karamani were harvested from important Turkish olive-growing locations, such as BalIkesir, Bursa, Manisa, AydIn, Muǧla, İzmir, Kilis, Mersin, Hatay and Gaziantep during the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 growing seasons. Olive samples were collected in two harvest years, at almost the same maturity stage, and processed under the same conditions. Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was used to analyze volatile aroma compounds in the olive oil samples. Forty-seven compounds were characterized and quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/flame ionization detector (GC-MS/FID). The most abundant identified compounds were trans-2-hexenal, hexanal and 3-methyl-1-butanol. The trans-2-hexenal, hexanal and 3-methyl-1-butanol contents of oil samples varied between 0.86-67.15, 3.93-61.82 and 0.48-84.74 %, respectively.

Toklu, Y.C.; Bekdaş, G.; Temür, R.; Toklu, Ş.Ç.; Uzun, F.; de Wilde, P.; Suter, G.; Rafiq, Y.
Structural analysis problems can be formulized as either root finding problems, or optimization problems. The general practice is to choose the first option directly or to convert the second option again to a root finding problem by taking relevant derivatives and equating them to zero. The second alternative is used very randomly as it is and that only for some simple demonstrative problems, most probably due to difficulty in solving optimization problems by classical methods. The method called Total Potential Optimization using Metaheuristic Algorithms (TPO/MA) described in this study successfully enables handling structural problems with optimization formulation. Using metaheuristic algorithms provides additional advantages in dealing with all kinds of constraints.

Toklu, Y.C.; Temur, R.; Bekdas, G.; Uzun, F.
Tensile integrity (tensegrity, tensegric) structures are suggested for possible use in outer space and on space bodies because of their minimal need for structural materials, ease of transfer and mounting. Structurally their behavior is non-linear. It has been shown here that their structural analysis can successfully be performed by total potential optimization using meta-heuristic algorithms (TPO/MA). The named method is an emerging technique that combines minimum energy principle of mechanics with metaheuristic algorithms. The technique thus defined has been shown to be very efficient, accurate and robust in analyzing structures. The success of the technique is especially profound for non-linear structures. In this study the named technique is applied to tensile integrity (tensegrity, tensegric) structures which are known to be highly nonlinear, thus difficult to analyze.

Avci, Mustafa; Ayazoglu, Rabil A.; Cekic, Bilal
The present paper deals with an anisotropic Kirchhoff problem under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, set in a bounded smooth domain Ω of ℝN (N ≥ 3). The problem studied is a stationary version of the original Kirchhoff equation, involving the anisotropic p→(.)-Laplacian operator, in the framework of the variable exponent Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces. The question of the existence of weak solutions is treated. Applying the Mountain Pass Theorem of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz, the existence of a nontrivial weak solution is obtained in the anisotropic variable exponent Sobolev space W01p→(.) (Ω), provided that the positive parameter λ that multiplies the nonlinearity f is small enough.

Çakir, Uǧur; Çomakli, Kemal; Çomakli, Ömer; Karsli, Süleyman
In this study, we designed a multifunctional heat pump system using just one scroll compressor and which can be run in four different modes, namely air to air, air to water, water to water and water to air, in order to make an experimental energetic and exergetic performance comparison. Experimental system consists of two condensers and two evaporators and uses R22 as working fluid. One of the evaporators and condensers uses water and the others use air as heat source/sink. Heating capacities of four heat pump types are equal to each other. It is realized by adjusting the mass flow rate and temperature level of external fluid of condenser. Results show that the heat pump unit which has the maximum COP (coefficient of performance) value is water to air type with 3.94 and followed by water to water type with 3.73, air to air type with 3.54 and air to water type with 3.40. Ranking of four heat pump types with respect to their mean exergy efficiency is as follows; water to air type with 30.23%, air to air type with 30.22%, air to water type with 24.77% and water to water type with 24.01%. Exergy destruction rates of the systems were investigated in this study and the results revealed that the heat pump type which has the maximum exergy destruction is air to air type with 2.93kW. The second highest one is air to water type with 2.84kW. The third highest one is water to air type with 2.64kW and last one is water to water type with 2.55kW. It is understood that the temperature of the evaporator external fluid affects the exergetic efficiency of the system more than the mass flow rate. In contrast to the previous, the dominant parameter which has more important effect on the exergy destruction of the heat pump unit is the mass flow rate of evaporator external fluid.

Toklu, Yusuf Cengiz; Bekdaş, Gebrail; Temur, Rasim
Current methods of analysis of trusses depend on matrix formulations based on equilibrium equations which are in fact derived from energy principles, and compatibility conditions. Recently it has been shown that the minimum energy principle, by itself, in its pure and unmodified form, can well be exploited to analyze structures when coupled with an optimization algorithm, specifically with a meta-heuristic algorithm. The resulting technique that can be called Total Potential Optimization using Meta-heuristic Algorithms (TPO/MA) has already been applied to analyses of linear and nonlinear plane trusses successfully as coupled with simulated annealing and local search algorithms. In this study the technique is applied to both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional trusses emphasizing robustness, reliability and accuracy. The trials have shown that the technique is robust in two senses: all runs result in answers, and all answers are acceptable as to the reliability and accuracy within the prescribed limits. It has also been shown that Harmony Search presents itself as an appropriate algorithm for the purpose.

A simple separation/pre-concentration method was developed for extraction of Pd(II) in various environmental samples, based on its adsorption of 4-phenyl-5-{[(4-phenyl-5-pyridin-4-yl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-yl)thio]methyl}-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thyol (PPTTMET) complex on Amberlite XAD-2010 resin in a mini column. The ligand has high affinity for Pd(II) among many other metals that are taken into consideration. The flame atomic absorption spectrometry is employed to determine the concentration of Pd(II). The optimum working conditions which were determined are as follows: 0.05 mol L-1 HNO3 as working medium, 1.0 mol L-1 HCI in acetone as elution solvent, 0.75 mg of PPTTMET amount and 750 mL of sample volume. The system was independent from the flow rates between 3.1 and 23.1 mL min-1. The Pd(II) adsorption capacity of Amberlite XAD-2010 resin was found to be 12.8 mg g-1 and the enrichment factor was calculated as 375. The method was successfully applied for the determination of Pd(II) in motorway dust samples, anodic sludge, gold ore, industrial electronic waste materials and various water samples.

Ozdes, Duygu; Duran, Celal; Serencam, Huseyin; Şahin, Deniz
An effective, simple, lowcost, and accurate separation and preconcentration procedure which has minimal impact on the environment has been developed. It is based on the carrier element-free coprecipitation (CEFC) of Au(III)ions using N-benzyl-2-{[3-methyl-4-(2morpholine-4-ylethyl)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2, 4-triazole-1-yl] acetyl)hydrazinecarboxamide (BODAH) as an organic coprecipitant. Determination of the Au(IH) ion levels was performed by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The developed method provided a detection limit of 0.36 μg L-1 and the relative standard deviation for Au(III)ions was found to be 5.1%. Spike tests and certified reference material analyses were performed to validate the method. The developed method was systematically investigated in different sets of experimental parameters that influence the quantitative recovery of the Au(III)ions. Based on these investigations, the optimum conditions for the determination of Au(III) ions at trace levels were established. The coprecipitation method was applied to anodic slime, gold ore, soil, and water samples to determine their Au(III)levels.

Consecutive earthquakes occurred on October 23rd, 2011 in Ercis and on November 9th, 2011 in Edremit that are townships located 90. km and 18. km far from Van city in Turkey, respectively. A total of 28,000 buildings were damaged or collapsed in the city center and the surrounding villages after the Ercis earthquake. This number reached 35,000 after the Edremit earthquake. In the area where the earthquakes occurred, almost all the reinforced concrete buildings were affected.This study presents field observations of damages on reinforced concrete buildings due to the consecutive earthquakes that occurred in Van, Turkey. Damages appearing in the buildings may occur due to several reasons such as site effect, poor construction quality, poor concrete strength, poor detailing in beam-column joints, detailing of stronger beam than column, soft stories, weak stories, inadequate reinforcement, short lap splices, incorrect end hook angle, and short columns. Aftershocks also caused progressive damages on the buildings within 17 days after the earthquakes. According to the results of this study, most of the damaged buildings were not designed and constructed according to the Turkish earthquake code, the so-called Specification for Buildings to be built in Seismic Zones.

Three derivatives of styrene monomer, 4-chlorophenyl-4-vinylbenzyl ether (I), 4-methoxyphenyl-4-vinylbenzyl ether (II) and 4-ethylphenyl-4-vinylbenzyl ether (III) were synthesized. The synthesized two novel compounds (I and III) and one with undefined structural features were identified by experimental spectroscopic techniques and density functional approach. The optimized geometrical structure, vibrational and electronic transitions along with chemical shifts of those compounds were presented in this study. The vibrational spectra of investigated compounds were recorded in solid state with FT-IR spectrometry in the range of 4000-400 cm-1. The computational vibrational wavenumbers and also ground state equilibrium conformations were carried out by using density functional method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Assignments of the fundamental vibrational modes were examined on the basis of the measured data and total energy distribution (TED) of the vibrational modes, calculated with scaled quantum mechanical (SQM) method. Isotropic chemical shift of hydrogen and carbon nuclei were investigated via observed 1H and 13C NMR spectra in deuterated DMSO solution and predicted data applied with gauge-invariant atomic orbitals (GIAOs) method. The UV absorption spectra of monomers were observed in the range of 200-800 nm in ethanol, and time dependent DFT method was used to obtain the electronic properties. A detailed description of spectroscopic behaviors of compound was given based on the comparison of experimental measurements and theoretical computations.

The aim of this study is to identify the effects of Reading-Writing-Application technique, Learning Together technique and Traditional Teaching methods on increasing students' academic achievements in the unit "particular structure of matter" at the science and technology course. In addition, students' written opinions were received from students (RWAG and LTG) about Reading-Writing-Application and Learning Together techniques. This study included 92 students from three different classes at the 6 th grade of a primary school during the 2010-2011 academic year. One of these classes served as the Reading-Writing-Application Group (RWAG), using group Reading-Writing-Application Technique, the second one served as the Learning Together Group (LTG), using the Learning Together technique, and the last one served as the Traditional Teaching Group (TTG), using the Traditional Teaching methods. The main instruments for obtaining data were the Academic Achievement Test (AAT) and Students' Written Opinions (SWO). Academic Achievement Test was applied to the all treatments groups but Students' Written Opinions was only applied RWAG and LTG. The data obtained on instruments were evaluated by using descriptive statistic, one-way variance analysis ANOVA and content analysis according to qualitative approach. It was concluded from the research results that the teaching of the unit "particular structure of matter" via the Reading-Writing-Application technique was more effective in increasing students' academic achievements compared to Learning Together technique and the Traditional Teaching methods. In addition, the written opinions of RWAG students and LTG students showed that the students have some negative opinions about Cooperative Learning Method.

Exopolysaccharides were isolated and purified from Lactobacillus johnsonii FI9785, which has previously been shown to act as a competitive exclusion agent to control Clostridium perfringens in poultry. Structural analysis by NMR spectroscopy revealed that L. johnsonii FI9785 can produce two types of exopolysaccharide: EPS-1 is a branched dextran with the unusual feature that every backbone residue is substituted with a 2-linked glucose unit, and EPS-2 was shown to have a repeating unit with the following structure: -6)-α-Glcp-(1-3)-β-Glcp-(1-5)-β-Galf-(1-6)-α-Glcp-(1-4) -β-Gal p-(1-4)-β-Glcp-(1-. Sites on both polysaccharides were partially occupied by substituent groups: 1-phosphoglycerol and O-acetyl groups in EPS-1 and a single O-acetyl group in EPS-2. Analysis of a deletion mutant (δepsE) lacking the putative priming glycosyltransferase gene located within a predicted eps gene cluster revealed that the mutant could produce EPS-1 but not EPS-2, indicating that epsE is essential for the biosynthesis of EPS-2. Atomic force microscopy confirmed the localization of galactose residues on the exterior of wild type cells and their absence in the δepsE mutant. EPS2 was found to adopt a random coil structural conformation. Deletion of the entire 14-kb eps cluster resulted in an acapsular mutant phenotype that was not able to produce either EPS-2 or EPS-1. Alterations in the cell surface properties of the EPS-specific mutants were demonstrated by differences in binding of an anti-wild type L. johnsonii antibody. These findings provide insights into the biosynthesis and structures of novel exopolysaccharides produced by L. johnsonii FI9785, which are likely to play an important role in biofilm formation, protection against harsh environment of the gut, and colonization of the host.

The aim of this study is to experimentally investigate the effect of the coiled wire insertions on dynamic instabilities and to compare the results with the smooth tube for forced convection boiling. The experiments were conducted in a circular tube, and water was used as the working fluid. Two different pitch ratios (H / D = 2.77 and 5.55) of coiled wire with circular cross-sections were utilised. The constant heat flux boundary condition was applied to the outer side of the test tube, and the constant exit restriction was used at the tube outlet. The mass flow rate changed from 110 to 20 g/s in order to obtain a detailed idea about the density wave and pressure drop oscillations, and the range of the inlet temperature was 15-35°C. The changes in pressure drop, inlet temperature, amplitude, and the period with mass flow rate are presented. For each configuration, it is seen that density wave and pressure drop oscillations occur at all inlet temperatures. Analyses show that the decrease in the mass flow rate and inlet temperature causes the amplitude and the period of the density wave and the pressure drop oscillations to decrease separately.

Kamiloglu, Hakan Alper; Yurdagül, Erman; Tekin, Ilker; Cokorilo, O
Subgrade is one of the most important factor which affects the operating time of highways. Subgrade of highways which are a part of freight transportation network exposes to more pressure. Therefore, stabilization of subgrades becomes more important for these highways. Usage of sustainable and eco friendly resources produce economic and effective solutions for stabilization of highways. BS can be a good example of the solution which are mined in Bayburt city, the north-east of Turkey. Bayburt Stone (BS) is Eocene age and consist of zeolite minerals. Because of containing high value of amorphous silica, tuffic Bayburt stones have pozzolanic activity. Therefore, the stones have binding characteristics when they mix in lime. In this study, It is intended to show that BS waste which obtained from the stone quarries during the stone processing, can be used as a stabilizing material in subbase layers of highways. Within the scope of the study lime and lime - BS mixtures were used to improve clayey subbase layers. In the experimental studies, different amount of 0.2-80 mu m diameter BS and lime mixtures were used and improvement results of lime, lime - BS mixtures were compared. The obtained stabilization materials were tested for clayey soils. In this context nonconfined compression test, shear box, XRD, XRF and Particle Sizer tests, standard compaction and soil classification tests (Liquid-Plastic Limit Test, Sieve Analysis, Hydrometer Analysis) were performed. As a result of study it was observe that the strength of samples which obtained from lime-BS increased remarkably and it's possible to make compaction with lower compaction energies.
