    Application of the entropy based COPRAS model in determining the most appropriate irrigation systems for agricultural enterprises producing maize

    Ulay, Göksel; Peker, Hüseyin; Ayata, Ümit

    Synthetic-based furniture varnish (colorless and glossy) was applied in two coats using a brush to the following wood types: lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm.), black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold), kotibé (Nesogordonia papaverifera), iroko (Milicia excelsa Welw. C.C. Berg), and loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.). The color parameters [b*, ho, L*, a*, and C*, ∆a*, ∆L*, ∆C*, ∆H*, ∆b*, and ∆E*] of the varnished and unvarnished surfaces were compared. The analysis of variance results for all color parameters revealed significant effects for wood type, varnish application, and their interaction. When the ∆E* values derived from color formulas were sorted from the lowest to the highest, they were ordered as follows: lemon, black pine, kotibé, loquat, and iroko. After varnish application, decreases in L* values were observed across all wood types, while increases in b* and C* values were detected. In black pine wood, the a* and ho values increased. Additionally, for iroko, loquat, and kotibé woods, there was an increase in the a* parameter, while ho values decreased for these wood types. Overall, the varnish application resulted in color changes in the wood materials.

    Comparison of Color Parameters in Layers of Yacht Varnish, Waxy Varnish, and Stone Varnish Applied to Various Wood Species

    Ayata, Ümit; Peker, Hüseyin

    In this study, solvent-based yacht varnish, stone varnish, and waxy varnish were applied in two coats using a brush, following industrial application standards, to the surfaces of the following tree species: black alder (Alnus glutinosa L. Gaertn.), curupay (Anadenanthera macrocarpa Benth.), iatandza (Albizia ferruginea), lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm.), loquat (Eriobotrya japonica L.), magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora L.), plane (Platanus orientalis L.), sucupira (Bowdichia nitida Benth.), and hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.). Subsequently, the color parameters (b*, C*, L*, a*, ho, ΔE*, ΔH*, Δb*, ΔC*, Δa*, and ΔL*) of the varnish layers were compared with those of the untreated surfaces. The results of analysis of variance revealed significant differences in all color parameters. Decreases in L* values and increases in a* values were observed for all wood types when treated with three different varnishes. Additionally, in plane, black alder, and hornbeam wood, application of all varnishes resulted in increases in b* and C* values, with decreases in ho values. In sucupira wood, however, decreases were observed in b*, C*, and ho values with the application of all three varnishes. It was observed that a single type of varnish yielded different results on different wood types. This finding was attributed to the different types of resins present in the varnish types used in the study, which resulted in varying outcomes.
