    In this study, nanocomposite material made of ultra-high molecular weight and bismuth oxide was developed to be used for protection from nuclear radiation. The traditional hot-pressing technique was used for preparing composite samples. The concentrations of Bi 2 O 3 were selected to be 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 wt%. In order to study the changes in surface morphology, we examined all samples by scanning electron microscopic (SEM). We evaluated the semi-quantitative of all elements used to fabricate these samples using EDX. Additionally, all samples including pure Bi 2 O 3 has been examined with X-ray diffraction (XRD). Besides that, Raman spectroscopy of all synthesized polymer matrix was measured to explore the different molecular groups. Also, the photon attenuation ability for the present samples was measured experimentally at eight energies varying from 30.8 keV to 383.9 keV using 133 Ba radioactive point source.

    In this study, seismic vulnerability assessment and seismic isolation retrofit of Bayburt Yakutiye Mosque is investigated. Bayburt Yakutiye Mosque was built in the early 19th century at about 30-meter distance to Coruh river in the center of Bayburt in Turkey. The walls of historical masonry structure were built with regional white and yellow stones and the domes of the mosque was built with masonry bricks. This study is completed in four basic phases. In first phase, experimental determination of the regional white stone used in the historical structure are investigated to determine mechanical properties as modulus of elasticity, poison ratio and compression strengths etc. The required information of the other materials such as masonry brick and the regional yellow stone are obtained from literature studies. In the second phase, three dimensional finite element model (FEM) of the historical masonry structure is prepared with 4738 shell elements and 24789 solid elements in SAP2000 software. In third phase, the vulnerability assessment of the historical mosque is researched under seismic loading such as Erzincan (13 March 1992), Kocaeli (17 August 1999) and Van (23 November 2011) earthquakes. In this phase, the locations where damage can occur are determined. In the final phase, rubber base isolators for seismic isolation retrofit is used in the macro model of historical masonry mosque to prevent the damage risk. The results of all analyses are comparatively evaluated in details and presented in tables and graphs. The results show that the application of rubber base isolators can prevent to occur the destructive effect of earthquakes.

    Biodiversity and characterization of gram-positive, catalase-positive cocci isolated from pastırma produced under different curing processes

    Fettahoğlu, Kübra; Çinar, Kübra; Kaya, Mükerrem; Kaban, Güzin

    The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different curing temperatures (4 °C or 10 °C) and agents (KNO3 or NaNO2) on microbiological and physicochemical properties of pastırma and diversity of gram-positive, catalase-positive cocci (GCC+) and also to investigate some technological properties of the strains. Four different groups of pastırma were produced applying different curing temperatures and agents. After production, GCC+ isolated from pastırma were subjected to phenotypic and genotypic (16S rRNA sequencing) identification. Genotypically characterized strains were evaluated for their technological properties. In all groups, aw and pH were observed to be under 0.90 and over 5.5, respectively. In genotypic identification, 45 isolates were identified as Staphylococcus vitulinus, while other isolates identified were S. equorum (n = 15), S. saprophyticus (n = 15), and S. xylosus (n = 12). All of the strains could grow at different salt concentrations (8% and 15%) and temperatures (4 °C, 10 °C, and 37 °C). Four strains of S. saprophyticus showed strong lipolytic activity while nine strains of S. vitulinus had strong proteolytic activity. This study showed that different curing temperatures and agents are particularly effective on the microflora in pastırma; however, these factors do not cause a high diversity in GCC+ in terms of species.

    Vertically oriented graphene nano-sheets grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique at low temperature

    Bayram, Ozkan; Simsek, Onder

    In this study, it was aimed to obtain vertically-oriented graphene nano-sheets (VGNs) on copper foils using CH 4 gas as the precursor material by means of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technique. VGNs were obtained at 50 W, 75 W and 100 W Radio Frequency (RF) powers by this technique and the effect of RF power on the morphological structure of graphene layers was investigated. VGNs were also analyzed by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and water contact angle (WCA) measurements. The SEM images showed that the VGNs became more tightly packed with the increase of RF power and thus these coating parameters had a significant effect on the morphological structure. WCA analyzes for VGNs were also performed and it was found that VGNs obtained at 100 W RF power had higher contact angle value than the other RF powers. These VGNs, which have both large surface area and optically transparent, are thought to be materials that have the potential to be used in supercapacitors and solar cells.

    Gul, Volkan

    Because of sunflower is well adapted to the conditions of all region types, it ranks the first in terms of vegetable oil production in our country. The content of fatty acids that determine the quality of sunflower oil is affected by factors such as genotype and environment, especially climate and soil struc-ture. This research examines the oil and fatty acid ratios of sunflower grains grown on a producer basis and presented to the market in 2015 in Samsun (Bafra, Vezirkopru and Havza), Amasya (Merzifon), Corum (Center) and Tokat (Turhal) in the Middle Black Sea Region selected according to the density of oil sunflower to determine the quality of oil. According to the results of the research, average fat ratio was found to be between 41.57% and 45.67%, palmitic and stearic acids, which are basic saturated fatty acids, between 5.65% and 6.44% and from 3.84% and 4.81% linoleic acid (omega 6), linolenic acid (omega 3) and oleic acids (omega 9), which are unsaturated fatty acids, were found between 50.33 and 63.42%, 0.24 and 0.29% and 25.32 and 37.50%, respectively. These results indicate that the sun-flower seeds cultivated in the Amasya-Merzifon re-gion are at the forefront due to their oil quality char- A cteristics.

    Response surface methodology as optimization strategy for asymmetric bioreduction of acetophenone using whole cell of Lactobacillus senmaizukei

    Çolak, Nida Sezin; Şahin, Engin; Dertli, Enes; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Taylan, Osman

    Whole cell applications are one of the main methodologies for the bioreduction of prochiral ketones to obtain enantiomerically rich chiral secondary alcohols which are mainly affected by the culture parameters of the whole cell. In this study, whole cell of Lactobacillus senmaizukei as a safe Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) was used for the reduction of acetophenone and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) application was used to optimize the culture parameters in terms of temperature, pH, incubation time, and agitation level to obtain the highest enantiomeric excess (ee) and conversion rate. The predicted optimum conditions for the bioreduction with whole cell Lactobacillus senmaizukei were found to be pH of 5.25, temperature of 25 °C, incubation time of 72 hr, and agitation level of 100 rpm. Importantly, the efficiency of the reduction of the acetophenone was significantly affected by the linear and quadratic effects of culture parameters. These findings are important to show the role of culture parameters for the bioreduction reactions and also the efficiency of the RSM technique to optimize these parameters.

    Examination of prospective teachers' perceptions of homeland: A phenomenological study

    Degirmenci, Yavuz

    Homeland can be described as the territory in which people who are bound to each other with several ties and have common values. It's one of the most valuable heritages which has been left to us from former generations, and will be transformed to future generations. There are great responsibilities on us, families, education and especially our teachers as an important elements of education to protect and transfer it to future generations. The reason is that patriotism begins in the family and continues in educational environments. An examination of the renewed primary and secondary education programs in terms of general objectives and contents revealed that there is a conscious effort for children to gain such values as consciousness and love for the homeland, and patriotism in especially social sciences and geography classes. Therefore, perceptions of prospective teachers regarding homeland, who will raise future generations, are important. The purpose of this research is to study perceptions of prospective teachers regarding the concept of homeland. The population of the study consists of 157 prospective classroom teachers, 98 of whom are females and 59 males, who were being educated in three different departments (social studies, Turkish and classroom teaching) in the Fall semester of 2018-2019 Academic Year. Phenomenology, a qualitative research method, has been employed in the research. The data collected were analyzed by the technique of content analysis. According to the findings of the research, the prospective social studies teachers came up with 28, prospective classroom teachers came up with 27 and prospective Turkish teachers came up with 28 valid metaphors about the concept of homeland, which makes a total of 83 different metaphors. In addition, the participants' most preferred metaphors about the concept were the metaphors of mother, home, family, house and earth.

    Employment of emergency advanced nurses of Turkey: A discrete-event simulation application

    Atalan, Abdulkadir; Donmez, Cem Cagri

    In the present study, problems in emergency services (ESs) were dealt with by analyzing the working system of ESs in Turkey. The purpose of this study was to reduce the waiting times spent in hospitals by employing advanced nurses (ANs) to treat patients who are not urgent, or who may be treated as outpatients in ESs. By applying discrete-event simulation on a 1/24 (daily) and 7/24 (weekly) basis, and by employing ANs, it was determined that the number of patients that were treated increased by 26.71% on a 1/24 basis, and by 15.13% on a 7/24 basis. The waiting time that was spent from the admission to the ES until the treatment time decreased by 38.67% on a 1/24 basis and 53.66% on a 24/7 basis. Similarly, the length of stay was reduced from 82.46 min to 53.97 min in the ES. Among the findings, it was observed that the efficiency rate of the resources was balanced by the employment of ANs, although it was not possible to obtain sufficient efficiency from the resources used in the ESs prior to the present study.

    Yogurt ice cream sweetened with sucrose, stevia and honey: Some quality and thermal properties

    Arslaner, Ayla; Salik, Mehmet Ali; Özdemir, Salih; Akköse, Ahmet

    This study investigated the effects of some sweeteners (sucrose, honey and stevia) on the quality and thermal properties of plain (P) and cocoa (C) yogurt ice cream. For this purpose, six different yogurt ice cream samples were prepared with sucrose (control: AP, AC), with honey (BP, BC) and with stevia (CP, CC). The highest values of protein, ash, fat, lactose ratios and lightness (L∗) were measured in samples with stevia. The addition of honey increased the b∗values. The addition of cocoa increased pH and viscosity, but decreased overrun ratios. Although the addition of stevia reduced the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) counts, in all samples the LAB count was above 6 log CFU/g during storage. Results of the thermal and melting analysis showed that the use of stevia had a positive effect on the ice cream stability by increasing the freezing and melting point peak temperatures (Tf, Tm), the enthalpy (ΔHf, ΔHm), and the initial ice crystal melting temperatures (T'm).

    Effects of autochthonous Lactobacillus plantarum strains on Listeria monocytogenes in sucuk during ripening

    Kamiloğlu, Aybike; Kaban, Güzin; Kaya, Mükerrem

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of autochthonous Lactobacillus plantarum strains (S50, S51, S72, S74, and S85) as starter cultures on growth of Listeria monocytogenes in sucuk (Turkish dry fermented sausage) production. The counts of L. monocytogenes, lactic acid bacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae as well as pH value and moisture content were determined in sucuk during ripening period. L. monocytogenes, lactic acid bacteria, and pH value were significantly affected (p < 0.01) by both starter culture and ripening period. A slight increase in L. monocytogenes count was observed in the control group whereas a reduction was observed in samples produced with L. plantarum strains at the first day of fermentation. Although L. monocytogenes reduction in control group with spontaneous microbiota was 0.54 log cfu/g after 11 days of ripening, reductions of as high as 2.74 log cfu/g was observed in the presence of L. plantarum S50. Practical applications: In the current study, five different autochthonous Lactobacillus plantarum isolates were identified, the effects of these strains on the behavior of Listeria monocytogenes in Turkish fermented sausage (sucuk) were determined. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report investigating the effects of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria strains on behavior of L. monocytogenes in sucuk fermentation. As starter culture autochthonous lactic acid bacteria can be more competitive than commercial types. Our findings reveal the importance of the use of these autochthonous L. plantarum strains causes rapid pH drop to inhibit L. monocytogenes growth during sucuk fermentation. And also L. plantarum S50 strain may be more suitable for use as bioprotective culture or starter culture compared to other strains.

    Plasma polymerized linalool (ppLin): An antimicrobial and biocompatible coating

    Çakmak, Kenan; Bayram, Özkan; Solak, Kübra; Kaban, Güzin; Şimşek, Önder; Mavi, Ahmet

    Bacterial infections in medical devices and drug resistance of bacteria can cause chaos in the world due to loss of lives in addition to the cost of device revisions, quarantine, disinfection of infected areas, and patient treatment. Antibacterial coatings of essential oils on medical devices can prevent bacterial attachment and reduce costs. Linalool is an antibacterial constituent of essential oils. Herein, we examine for the first time the fabrication and characterization of radio frequency (RF) plasma polymerized hydrophilic thin films from linalool (ppLin) by varying deposition parameters (RF power and deposition time) and the behavior of ppLin with two bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) commonly related to microbial contamination of medical devices. While a dramatic reduction in E. coli and S. aureus attachment was observed on ppLin films, their hydrophilic surface was also bactericidal to S. aureus. Additionally, ppLin films were shown to be adherent and noncytotoxic to human fibroblast cells. ppLin can be potentially integrated into medical and other clinical devices as a promising low-cost biocompatible antimicrobial coating.

    The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between the levels of self-confidence and motivation of high school students participating sport contests at school and the various demographic variables (gender, high school type, sport age, sports branch and sport category). In the study, survey model, which is frequently used in descriptive research method is used. The population of the study consisted of students who studied at high schools and those who attended contests in Adıyaman, while sample consisted of 856 athletes, 39% of whom were female students (334) and 61% (522) of whom were male students. To collect data for the study, personal data form, ''Motivation in Sport'' scale, which was developed by Pelletier et al. (1995) and adapted to Turkish by Pelletier et al. and ''Self-confidence'' scale developed by Akın (2007) were used. SPSS 21.00 package program was used for data analysis. Multiple regression analysis, Pearson product-moment correlation co-efficient technique, independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance were performed in the quantitative data of the research. According to the findings obtained from the study, it was determined that there was a significant relationship between demographic information and self-confidence and motivation levels. While there was a significant difference in gender self-confidence level with intrinsic and extrinsic self-confidence and high school type sports branch, there was no significant difference between sport age and sport category. A significant relationship was found between the sub-dimension of non-motivation, intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation, and there was no significant relationship with other independent variables such as gender, sports branch, sport category and sport age. Based on these results, it is recommended that secondary school students participate in sports competitions to have some elements that may have positive effects on their self-confidence and motivation.

    The role of cobalt doping on the optical and structural properties of Mn 3 O 4 nanostructured thin films obtained by SILAR technique

    Bayram, Ozkan; İgman, Erdal; Guney, Harun; Simsek, Onder

    Cobalt doped manganese oxide thin films (Mn 3 O 4 :Co) were successfully deposited on soda lime glass substrates using SILAR technique. Mn 3 O 4 :Co thin films were characterized using XRD, SEM, Uv–VIS and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD spectra showed that thin films had substantially Hausmannite crystal structure. The preferential orientation of the pure and 0.5 at.% Co doped manganese oxide thin films (Mn 3 O 4 ) was (002), but with increasing Co doping, it was detected that this preferential orientation shift towards the (211) plane. The absorbance, transmittance and optical band gap of the Mn 3 O 4 :Co thin films were determined using Uv–Vis spectroscopy and these properties of the thin films differed considerably due to cobalt doping. The optical band gap of pure Mn 3 O 4 thin films was 2.00 eV, but on the other hand, due to the Co doping this value increased before and then decreased slightly. Optical transmittance of Mn 3 O 4 :Co films increased from 60% to 72% with the effect of Co doping. A1g mode, which is the characteristic vibration peak of Mn 3 O 4 films, was confirmed for pure and doped Mn 3 O 4 thin films at a wavelength of 658 nm.

    The effect of VR and traditional videos on learner retention and decision making

    Yildirim, Gurkan; Yildirim, Serkan; Dolgunsoz, Emrah

    Virtual reality (VR) as computer-mediated 3-D environments including real-life situations presented via different tools in which users can interact effectively with visuals. This study is significant as it primarily aimed to investigate effects of VR on retention by comparing it with traditional 2-D videos. The main aim of this study is to compare the effect of VR and 2-D videos on learner retention and decision making. About 18 students from the Department of English language teaching in an age range of 18-20 (nine males and nine females) voluntarily participated in this study and took course credits. As all participants were tested under the same two conditions in different time periods; repeated measures were chosen for statistical analysis. It can be inferred that both technologies have similar effects on short-term retention and VR does not provide any extra retention performance. However, VR was found to have a significant effect on long-term retention.

    Modeling of the impact of initial mold temperature, Al5Ti1B and Al10Sr additions on the critical fraction of solid in die casting of aluminum alloys using fuzzy expert system

    Teke, Ç.; Çolak, M.; Taş, M.; İpek, M.

    In the casting of liquid metal, the feeding stops when the mushy zone is clogged and does not allow the transfer of feeding liquid. The growing resistance of the solid dendrites against the fluidity of the feeding liquid is defined as the critical fraction of solid (CFS). CFS value varies depending on many factors such as alloy solidification range, initial mold temperature, and the grain size. Therefore, in many casting simulation applications, it is quite common to get inconsistent results due to insufficient information about the CFS. In this study, a fuzzy expert system (FES) model has been developed in order to determine the value of the CFS in the die casting process, based on the parameters of the alloy type, the initial mold temperature, Al5Ti1B addition and Al10Sr addition. In order to create the rule base for the FES model, 54 die casting experiments have been carried out. The CFS values obtained using the FES model has revealed that the developed model of the FES predicts the CFS value in a high performance.

    Comparison of colony performances of honeybee (Apis Mellifera L.) housed in hives made of different materials

    Erdoğan, Yaşar

    Numerous flowering plants rely on bees for pollination. Any natural or anthropogenic factor that threatens colony survival can have a large impact on plant production. This study investigates the effects of manmade hives built from different materials and how these may influence colony growth. Ten each of three hive types were selected, wooden, polystyrene and composite insulated hives. Factors of adult bee numbers, brood development, nectar flow period weight gain, bee flight activity, aggression response, and honey yield were selected markers of hive development. Statistically, each hive type produced significant variation (p<.05). The greatest overall productivity across all factors was for insulated hives made of composite material, with honey production approximately 35% times that of wood, 14% times that of polystyrene and in terms of the development of honeybee colonies, the average of other hives is 10.2 times.Highlights Relative humidity and temperature are important environmental factors for honeybees. Insulated hives, increased honey yield. High temperature and humidity inside the hive made honeybees more aggressive.
