The electrooxidation process, one of the advanced oxidation processes, is one of the effective treatment processes used in treating various industrial wastewaters. This study investigated the treatment of olive mill wastewater using the electrooxidation process. This study includes the effects of different experimental parameters on chemical oxygen demand and total phenol removal efficiencies in olive mill wastewater. Ti/IrO2/RuO2 mesh plates as anode material and Ti mesh plates as cathode material were used in the study. The effects of stirring rate, dilution factor, pH, type of support electrolyte, the concentration of support electrolyte, and current density on chemical oxygen demand and total phenol removal efficiencies were examined in the experiments using a batch reactor. The study found that the chemical oxygen demand and total phenol removal rates were 96.93% and 100% under optimum conditions, respectively. According to the treatment data obtained, it can be said that olive mill wastewater can be treated by the electrooxidation method and can be proposed as a pretreatment system before entering biological treatment.

Kutlu, Naciye; Pandiselvam, Ravi; Saka, Irem; Kamiloglu, Aybike; Sahni, Prashant; Kothakota, Anjineyulu
Electromagnetic waves are frequently used for food processing with commercial or domestic type microwave ovens at present. Microwaves cause molecular movement by the migration of ionic particles or rotation of dipolar particles. Considering the potential applications of microwave technique in food industry, it is seen that microwaves have many advantages such as saving time, better final product quality (more taste, color, and nutritional value), and rapid heat generation. Although microwave treatment used for food processing with developing technologies have a positive effect in terms of time, energy, or nutrient value, it is also very important to what extent they affect the textural properties of the food that they apply to. For this purpose, in this study, it has been investigated that the effects of commonly used microwave treatments such as drying, heating, baking, cooking, thawing, toasting, blanching, frying, and sterilization on the textural properties of food. In addition, this study has also covered the challenges of microwave treatments and future work. In conclusion, microwave treatments cause energy saving due to a short processing time. Therefore, it can be said that it affects the textural properties positively. However, it is important that the microwave processing conditions used are chosen appropriately for each food material.

Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin
The impact of ozone treatment (OT) for 0 (control) 30, 60, 90 and 120 min to whey concentrate (WC) on powder flow, physicochemical, functional, and microbiological characteristics of whey powders (WPs) was examined. OT decreased the cohesiveness of WC, whereas the firmness, consistency and index of viscosity were not affected. OT caused higher L∗ and b∗ values in WP and improved the solubility and foaming capacity, but decreased foaming stability and bulk density. OT increased the mean particle size of WP samples depending on the treatment time. Higher treatment time of OT resulted in a lower cohesion index. OT decreased caking ability of WP samples and increased flow stability. Compaction coefficient and cohesion index depending on increasing test speed, were generally reduced with higher OT. Overall, powder flow analyses revealed that OT of WC resulted in improved flow behaviour of WP. The microbial load of WP was reduced using OT.

This paper investigates the artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the dimensionless parameters for contact pressures and contact lengths under the rigid punch, the initial separation loads, and the initial separation distances of a contact problem. The problem consisted of two elastic infinitely layers (EL) loaded by means of a rigid cylindrical punch and resting on a half-infinite plane (HP). Firstly, the problem was formulated and solved theoretically using the Theory of Elasticity (ET). Secondly, the contact problem was extended based on the ANN. External load, the radius of punch, layer heights, and material properties were created by giving examples of different values used at the training and test stages of ANN. Finally, the accuracy of the trained neural networks for the case was tested using 134 new data, generated via ET solutions to determine the best network model. ANN results were compared with ET results, and well agreements were achieved.

Şimşek, O.; Pourghadri Sefidehkhan, H.; Gökçe, H.S.
The recycling of concrete and industrial wastes in the production of new concrete structures has increased its share due to the growing environmental concerns of the world. In this study, the use of recycled concrete aggregate at various replacement amounts (0–100 %) was investigated to be fine or coarse aggregate sources instead of crushed natural aggregate to understand better its effects on the dimensional stability and durability aspects of fly ash-blended Portland cement concrete. In the presence of recycled concrete aggregate, fly ash was very important for eliminating possible mechanical losses of concrete at 90 days. The use of coarse recycled concrete aggregate resulted in better compressive strength values of concrete exposed to with and without wetting–drying and freezing-thawing cycles when compared to fine ones. While the free drying shrinkage of concrete increased at significant amounts (68 and 79 %) for fine and coarse recycled concrete aggregate, the restrained drying shrinkage crack widths were reduced up to by 13.5 %. In conclusion, it should be noted that the amount and size of recycled concrete aggregate need to be designed by considering the residual quality and dimensional stability of concrete, which exposes weathering actions in place.

This study aimed to determine the organic acid profiles of bee products such as royal jelly, bee venom, bee pollen and bee bread, as well as to verify the method employed in the study. For this purpose, royal jelly, bee venom, bee pollen and bee bread samples were obtained from different locations, and 55 individual organic acids were determined using the liquid chromatography technique coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS), and method verification was carried out. Moreover, principal component and hierarchical cluster analyses were performed to compare the organic acid content of bee products and evaluate the overall variation. According to the results, the order of the total organic acid profiles was determined as bee venom (4141 mg/kg-6260 mg/kg) > bee bread (736–990 mg/kg) > bee pollen (837–1503 mg/kg) > royal jelly (192–1947 mg/kg). Although citric acid (423–41,519 mg/kg) was dominantly detected in samples among the organic acids screened. It is thought that the results obtained will contribute to scientific studies carried out to determine the authenticity of bee products and their standardization.

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in green extraction methods and green solvents due to their many advantages. In this study, the effects of an ultrasonic extraction method and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) on the extraction of different bioactive substances from bee pollen were investigated. In this regard, the effects of process variables such as the molar ratio of the DES (1, 1.5, and 2), sonication time (15, 30, and 45 min), and ultrasonic power (90, 135 and 180 W) on total individual amino acids, total individual organic acids, and total individual phenolic compounds were investigated by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal conditions were found to be a molar ratio of 2, sonication time of 45 min, and ultrasonic power of 180 W (R2 = 0.84). Extracts obtained via the maceration method using ethanol as a solvent were evaluated as the control group. Compared with the control group, the total individual amino acid and total individual organic acid values were higher using DESs. In addition, compounds such as myricetin, kaempferol, and quercetin were extracted at higher concentrations using DESs compared to controls. The results obtained in antimicrobial activity tests showed that the DES groups had broad-spectrum antibacterial effects against all bacterial samples, without exception. However, in yeast-like fungus samples, this inhibition effect was negligibly low. This study is the first to evaluate the impact of DESs on the extraction of bioactive substances from bee pollen. The obtained results show that this innovative and green extraction technique/solvent (ultrasonic extraction/DES) can be used successfully to obtain important bioactive compounds from bee pollen.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many educational institutions in the world to switch to the distance education process, and this process was called "Emergency Remote Teaching". This urgent transition process has caused many problems in educational environments. One of the problems is the subject of measurement and evaluation. Along with the pandemic, many institutions have used various online assessment systems to make measurements and evaluations online, and researchers have conducted research on these online assessment systems. This research focus on the features of the online assessment systems and aims to examine the trends towards the prominent features of the online assessment systems in the Emergency Remote Teaching period. For this purpose, the prominent online assessment systems have been determined by systematically analyzing academic studies published in 2020, and answers have been sought to the following research questions: (1) which platforms they support, (2) which security features they have, and (3) what common features they have. Identifying trends in the characteristics of online assessment systems is expected to guide practitioners, decision-makers, researchers, and system developers in the process of selecting and/or developing an online assessment system for use in online measurement and evaluation.

Uzunçakmak, Sevgi Karabulut
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is a virus that can still infect individuals and whose deadly effects continue despite the current vaccines and drugs. Since 2019, many studies on the pathogenesis of the disease have been completed and continue to be done. In addition to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, many molecules that can be markers of the disease have been investigated. In the early stages of the pandemic, many nonspecific and infection-related laboratory findings and chest computed tomography were used to obtain information about the diagnosis of the disease. The more individual molecules became associated with the disease yet. The purpose of this review is to summarize the impact and role of many molecules associated with coronavirus disease-2019 infection that have been previously used and newly revealed. Numerous studies are summarized in this review. The obtained data show that previously used laboratory findings and new potential biomarkers are not specific to the disease. New potential biomark-ers have been associated with the severity of the disease itself, as can be seen with lung imaging and even with routine laboratory findings. One of the important points that are seen frequently in studies is that the effectiveness of these molecules has been shown not only in coronavirus disease-2019 infection but also in many other diseases. This removes the pathogenesis of the disease from being a unique mechanism created by the Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and provides a general perspective formed by viral or bacterial infections. However, there are still many molecular changes that need to be investigated. Future studies will continue to update themselves with the mutations of the virus.

Çorapsız, Muhammed Reşit; Kahveci, Hakan
This paper proposes a new energy management strategy (EMS) for electric vehicles (EVs) with battery/supercapacitor hybrid energy storage systems (HESS). Firstly, the battery/supercapacitor HESS configuration and obtaining the load current from the driving cycle are comprehensively explained. Secondly, fixed and adaptive frequency-based (AFB) EMS are discussed in detail. In the proposed method, the current demanded by the load is separated into low and high-frequency components with the help of an adaptive low-pass filter (A-LPF). In addition, adaptive battery current (ABC) is generated according to the supercapacitor (SC) state of charge (SoC), and a double adaptive power allocation strategy is performed. The proposed method is compared with the AFB-EMS for load currents, load powers, DC link voltages, filter cut-off frequencies, battery, and SC SoCs on the UDDS driving cycle. When the obtained results were evaluated together, it was observed that the proposed method completed the driving cycle with a higher battery SoC and realized the adaptive cut-off frequency in a narrower band.

In this study, the utilization of LAB (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Levilactobacillus brevis, Furfurilactobacillus rossiae, Weissella cibaria) cultures with selected flours of different immature cereal grains (wheat, barley, oat and rye) on sourdough and sourdough bread was investigated. In total, 16 different sourdough breads were produced and microbiological, pH, TTA and rheological properties of sourdoughs at 0, 8 and 24 h were determined. At the beginning of the fermentation, while sourdoughs showed elasticity, they showed viscoelastic properties after 24 h of fermentation. The sugar profile of cereal grains at the stage of milk formation and the sugar groups presented in EPSs isolated from sourdoughs were revealed by HPLC analysis. The sugar groups in sourdoughs were glucose, xylose and arabinose, while the sugars in the immature cereal grains were glucose, fructose and mannose. The highest EPS production level (1882.69 ± 8.16) was observed in immature barley flour and Lpb. plantarum containing sourdough and all sourdoughs were found to contain glucan type EPSs. It was observed that the amount of EPS produced by the related species differed significantly under different grain conditions. Besides, it was observed that the sourdough breads produced were harder than the control bread. Novelty Impact Statement: Wheat, barley, oat and rye immature grains and four distinct LAB strains were used during sourdough fermentation. Immature grain type and LAB strain used were determinants for in situ exopolysaccharide (EPS) production. Viscoelastic properties of sourdough and textural properties of sourdough bread were affected by grains and LAB strain utilized.

Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin; Kılınç, Mehmet
The effects of cow and buffalo milk mixtures on powder flow behaviour, functional characteristics and microstructure of whole milk powder was investigated. Milk powder was produced from 100% cow milk (G1), 100% buffalo milk (G2), 75% cow/25% buffalo milk (G3), 50% cow/50% buffalo milk (G4) and 25% cow/75% buffalo milk (G5). A higher proportion of buffalo milk increased the hydroxymethylfurfural, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and free fatty acid contents in powders, but decreased dispersibility and wettability. The lowest and highest mean particle size values were obtained in G3 and G2 samples. Milk powder containing a higher level of buffalo milk increased caking ability and compaction coefficients of milk powder. All samples had remarkably cohesive characteristics. A higher proportion of cow milk can improve the flow behaviour of milk powder containing cow and buffalo milk mixtures in terms of caking, cohesion, and powder speed flow dependency.

Kutlu, Naciye; Kamiloglu, Aybike; Elbir, Tugba
In this study, ultrasound extraction of bioactive compounds from tarragon was examined as a sustainable technology. Pure water, which is a green solvent, was used as solvent. Box–Behnken was used in the experimental design, and ultrasonic power, extraction time and solvent-to-sample ratio were determined to be independent variables. The physicochemical properties were determined by physical (color, pH, Brix) and chemical analyses (antioxidant activity, total flavonoid and total phenolic compound (TPC)) in the extracts obtained under different conditions. Optimum conditions were found to be 73.9% ultrasonic power, 43.2 min sonication time and 10 mL/g solvent-to-sample ratio. The composite desirability (R2) of optimum conditions was 99.3% after optimization. Since high efficiency was obtained in a short time with ultrasound extraction, it was found to be quite good in terms of energy savings. That is, the highest TPC was obtained with a sonication time of 45 min with this method, while similar TPC in the control group (maceration) was obtained in 24 h. In the optimum conditions, extraction with other green solvents (ethanol and deep eutectic solvent—DES) was carried out and bioactive compound yields were compared. For different solvents compared under optimum conditions, ethanol gave higher yields in terms of TPC, while higher yields were obtained in samples using water as solvent for some antioxidant activity values. The results obtained with DES were not as high as expected, and this resulted in the conclusion that a hydrogen bond donor is not suitable for obtaining bioactive compounds from tarragon.

Artar, Musa; Carbas, Serdar
This paper focuses on optimum sizing design of steel frame structures equipped with friction dampers (FDs) in order to prevent the vulnerable effect of an earthquake. The fundamental concept is to maximize the energy dissipation of implemented FDs under different seismic excitations. The FDs utilized as passive energy dissipation devices in a steel structure increase the energy dissipation capacity of the structure by decreasing the seismic demand during an earthquake. In this context, the Pall friction dampers (PFDs) are implemented as diagonal damped brace members in investigated structures. Three different earthquake records (Kobe, Kocaeli-Duzce, Erzincan) are utilized to acquire nonlinear dynamic responses of the steel frame structures through time-history analyses. The open application programming interface (OAPI) functions are used to integrate a finite element modelling based structural analysis program, SAP2000, with a design optimization algorithm encoded in MATLAB for achieving the exact structural behaviours by synchronously data transferring. As an optimizer, one of the recent nature-inspired metaheuristic techniques, so-called Grey Wolf (GW) algorithm is used. Initially, under effect of seismic excitations, the steel frame structures are optimally sized for attaining minimum design weights without implementing the PFD elements by subjecting only strength, displacement, drift, and geometric structural design constraints taken from AISC-LRFD practice code provisions. Afterward, in order for optimally modelling the PFD elements, the frames are equipped with PFDs to calculate optimum yield strengths that is defined as slip load of a PFD. To do so, the GW algorithm ensures the maximizing of the dissipated energy and controls the yield strengths between the stories since the shear force due to the earthquake increases towards the base of the structure. Eventually, the provisions-based sizing design optimizations of the steel frame structures equipped with optimally modelled PFD elements are conducted under seismic excitations for conclusive evaluations.

Medical treatment inevitably exposes individuals to radiation, including those taking drugs used to treat and prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Motivated by this, we investigated the radiation interaction properties of several HIV drugs to determine the interaction parameters, mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), atomic cross section (ACS), electronic cross section (ECS), effective atomic numbers (Zeff), and effective electron density (Neff). We calculated the values using the Phy-X/PSD software in the range of 0.015–15 MeV. Additionally, we calculated the exposure build-up factor (EBF), and energy absorption build-up factor (EABF) values of the drugs up to 40 mean free path (MFP) using the geometric progression (G-P) method. From our findings, we determined that Combivir, with its relatively high heavy element content, had the highest radiation attenuation capacity, whereas the probability of Lopinavir interacting with photons was the lowest compared with the other drugs. The results of the EBF and EABF parameters, including the scattering effects, ordered the drugs opposite to the primary interaction parameters such as MAC, ACS, ECS, and Zeff. These findings can guide the treatment process of HIV-positive patients and inform HIV prevention practices conducted alongside radiotherapy, as the interaction between radiation and a drug may cause deterioration in the drug's structure.

This study aims to identify the outline of charity social media marketing (SMM) and to determine to what extent it influences the charity brand image, brand trust, and donation intention. The data were gathered from followers of internationally operating Turk charities on social media. The theoretical model and hypotheses were tested by using structural equation modeling. Charity SMM is composed of awareness, interaction, timeliness, informativeness, customization, and advertisement dimensions. Awareness is the only dimension of SMM that has a significant direct influence on donation intention. Timeliness, informativeness, and advertisement significantly influence charity brand image, whereas brand trust is influenced by informativeness and customization. Besides, Charity SMM, as a whole, influences donation intention both directly and indirectly through brand image and brand trust. Therefore, charity brand image and brand trust are crucial for charities to promote donation intention through SMM. Therefore, charities are strongly recommended to focus primarily on developing their brand image and gaining trust in current and prospective donors.

Sulfur-containing chiral heterocyclic secondary alcohols are relevant intermediates in the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds endowed with biological activity. In this report, we evaluated the reductive potential of different lactic acid bacteria as whole-cell biocatalysts of the enantioselective reduction of 1-(thiophen-2-yl)ethanone (1). Enterococcus faecium BY48, isolated from boza, a cereal-based fermented beverage, was found to be the best biocatalyst in our initial investigations. Using whole-cell preparations of E. faecium BY48, we then systematically analyzed the reaction parameters (pH, incubation period, agitation speed, and temperature) to optimize the yield, the enantiomeric excess (e. e.), and the conversion leading to (S)-1-(thiophen-2-yl)ethanol [(S)-2]. The target derivative, which is a precursor in the synthesis of biologically active chiral compounds, was obtained in enantiomerically pure form, gram-scale amounts, and high yield. This is also the first report that the manufacture of (S)-2 in excellent conversion, yield, enantiopure form, and gram scale used whole-cell biocatalyst. This whole-cell E. faecium BY48 biocatalyzed reaction is a clean, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective process, representing a valuable alternative to chemical catalysis or previously reported biocatalytic procedures in the preparation of (S)-2.

In this study, vibration control of a single-link flexible smart composite manipulator (FSCM) is experimentally studied. The experimental system includes a real-time data acquisition control card, accelerometer, amplifier, servo motor, and driver. The FSCM is an epoxy-glass composite manipulator with the piezoelectric actuator and has the orientation of [0/90] lay-up. Modal analysis is experimentally conducted to find the natural frequencies by applying a chirp signal to the piezoelectric actuator. Natural frequencies are found by taking the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in MATLAB. Triangular motion profiles are used to drive the FSCM. Motion parameters are found by utilizing the natural frequencies of the system for different deceleration times (tdec). with different deceleration times (tdec). Residual vibrations are suppressed by using PID control with acceleration feedback. The acceleration signals at the tip point are measured by utilizing the accelerometer. The controller gains are determined with the trial and error method. Experimental residual vibration results are presented for the active control. It is observed that the suppression of vibration amplitudes further increases with active control.

Hırca, Tuğçe; Eryılmaz Türkkan, Gökçen; Niazkar, Majid
Examining historical variations of hydroclimatic variables can provide crucial information about changes of water resources in a water cycle. In this study, the Mann–Kendall (MK) and Innovative Polygon Trend Analysis (IPTA) methods were applied to 56-year precipitation data collected at 8 measuring stations. These stations are located in Eastern Black Sea Basin (EBSB), which has a significant amount of annual precipitation and hydroelectric potential in Turkey. This study has two objectives: (1) investigating possible changes in the monthly precipitation and (2) comparing the results achieved by a classical (MK) and one of the latest trend analysis methods presented in the literature (IPTA). Based on the results, MK achieved no trend for most of months, while it reached an increasing trend for March at most of the stations. Likewise, IPTA determined an increasing trend for March precipitation. However, an increasing/decreasing trend was obtained by IPTA for most of the months and stations. In other words, comparing the trend analysis results obtained by IPTA and MK indicates a significant discrepancy between the numbers of months with detected trends primarily because the former is relatively more sensitive in trend identification. To be more precise, IPTA and MK determined trends in approximately 81.25% and 12.5% of all months, respectively. Furthermore, the former identified quite the same trends in every month which the latter reported a trend. Moreover, the polygon of the mean and standard deviation graphs developed by IPTA provides a year cycle, which brings about useful information for water utility sectors and decision makers of the study area. Finally, the findings of this study contribute to a large amount of research that attempts to explore spatio-temporal variations of hydroclimatic variables around the globe not only to enhance humans’ knowledge about changes in a water cycle but also assess climate change impacts.

In this study, 10 lactic acid bacteria were isolated from Turkish fermented sausage (sucuk) and identified as 5 Lactobacillusplantarum, 1 Pediococcus acidilactici, 1 Weissella hellenica, 1 Lactobacillus pentosus, and 2 Lactobacillus sakei. PCR screening of genes encoding plantaricin A and pediocin showed the presence of plantaricin A gene in 9 and pediocin gene in 3 of strains. All isolates showed antibacterial and antifungal effect on most of the tested microorganisms. gad gene, encoding glutamic acid decarboxylase enzyme, was detected in all isolates except Weisella hellenica KS-24. Eight of isolates were determined as gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) producer in the presence of 53 mM mono sodium glutamate (MSG) by HPLC and TLC analysis. DPPH scavenging activity was observed for all isolates. Additionally, isolates were able to produce exopolysaccharide in the presence of sucrose. The best exopolysaccharide (EPS) production was achieved with L.plantarum KS-11 and L.pentosus KS-27. As a result, this study characterized some techno-functional properties of LAB isolates from sucuk. It was concluded that the isolates studied have the potential to be used in obtaining functional products in meat industry, as well as strain selection may be effective in providing the desired properties in the product.
