    Thermoeconomic analysis of a low-temperature waste-energy assisted power and hydrogen plant at off-NG grid region

    Tozlu, Alperen; Kayabasi, Erhan; Ozcan, Hasan

    In this study, thermoeconomic analysis of a CO2 power cycle and PEM hydrogen system using ultra-low temperature waste heat from a milk production facility is conducted. In the transcritical CO2 cycle, low-temperature LNG evaporation is used for cooling the condenser to increase the temperature difference enabling low temperature waste heat use. In addition, a PEM electrolyzer produces hydrogen to reduce the LNG requirement at the plant. A CO2-water exchanger has been designed to recover the pasteurized water's excess heat and evaporate the CO2 using Simcenter-Flomaster software. The inlet mass flow rates and outlet temperatures of the heat exchanger were optimized by performing thermoecomic analysis, and the thermal and economic performance of the facility was examined. The power cycle has 14% higher efficiency when LNG is used as the heat sink compared to ambient temperature condensation with an electricity production cost range at 0.05–0.11 $/kWh, and the hydrogen generation cost is between $2.6–5.20 kg−1. It is found that the plant could only be economically feasible when less than 50% of the power produced is used for hydrogen generation. Consequently, the proposed system can co-generate power and on-demand hydrogen in off-NG grid regions with reasonable investment and product costs.

    A comparative thermoeconomic analysis and optimization of two different combined cycles by utilizing waste heat source of an MSWPP

    Ozahi, Emrah; Abusoglu, Aysegul; Tozlu, Alperen

    In this paper, thermodynamic and thermoeconomic analysis as well as genetic algorithm optimization of two combined cycles, a gas turbine-organic Rankine cycle (GT-ORC) and a gas turbine-Kalina cycle (GT-KAL) are carried out. The novelty of this study is that the cycles are adapted to an actual solid waste power plant to generate additional power from the exhaust gas. Thus, the power generation capacity of the actual power plant can be raised by using the combined cycle. Due to this reason, besides the thermodynamic analysis of the cycles, thermoeconomic analyses and optimizations are also very important in order to improve the actual system capacity. The net power output of GT-ORC and GT-KAL are found to be 1.51 MW and 1.59 MW, respectively. The results obtained are seen to be reasonable when compared to the net power output of the power plant (5.66 MW). Another originality of this study is that the thermoeconomic results are improved by utilizing a multi-objective optimization method namely non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm method (NSGA-II). Thus, the two objectives, total power output and the total cost rate, at the design stage of the cycles are optimized and enhanced. Due to the optimization results, it is found that the net power output of the GT-ORC and GT-KAL are increased by 11.34% and 0.99%, respectively, while the total cost rates are decreased by 18.59% and 1.31%, respectively. GT-ORC with the net power output of 1.70 MW is seen to be more efficient as compared to GT-KAL which produces a net power output of 1.61 MW. However, the total and the capital cost rates of GT-ORC are found to be higher than those of GT-KAL.

    Parallel Assembly Lines with Heterogeneous Workforce: A Cost-Driven Mathematical Model and Simulated Annealing Approach

    Kökhan, Serhan; Baykoç, Ömer Faruk

    In recent years it has become possible for people, machines and robots to work collaboratively in most production environments. Collaborative working models, which are diversified with the concept of Industry 4.0, have become an important issue in Assembly Line Problems (ALP). In this study, a cost-driven mathematical model which combines Parallel Assembly Line Problems and human and robot collaborative workforce which is an important parameter of Industry 4.0 philosophy is proposed. The mathematical model was tested for new data sets derived from existing data sets in the parallel assembly lines literature and the results were analyzed. Because of the NP-hardness of ALP, a heuristic approach based Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm was proposed to solve for larger sized problems. For this purpose, the same data sets were solved with SA and the results were compared and analyzed. The results show that the mathematical model gives better results up to Tonge data set (140 task), but feasible solutions can only be obtained by SA algorithm for the rest. Since there are very few studies with heterogeneous workforce in Parallel Assembly Line Balancing Problems (PALBP), this study is believed to provide a significant contribution to related literature.

    Effects of churning with different concentrations of ozonated water on particle size, texture, oxidation, melting and microbiological characteristics of butter

    Sert, Durmuş; Mercan, Emin

    The effects of churning with different concentrations of ozonated water (OW) on fat particle size, texture, oxidation, melting and microbiological characteristics of butter from raw cream were investigated. For this purpose, butter samples were produced by churning with ozonated waters at concentrations of 0 (control), 0.15 (OW-15), 0.20 (OW-20), 0.25 (OW-25) and 0.30 (OW-30) mg L−1. Churning with OW increased the lightness and redness value of samples and decreased yellowness. Firmness value of samples ranged from 126.86 to 347.46 N, with an increase with ozone concentration. Mean fat particle size (D[4.3]) value of samples decreased with higher ozone concentration in churning water. OW reduced the oxidative stability of samples. Microbial reductions by churning with ozonated water ranged from 0.07 to 1.59 log. Microbiological analysis results showed that ozone treatment improved the microbial safety of butter samples produced from raw cream.

    Determination of yield and quality parameters of oil sunflower genotypes grown in Turkey

    Gul, Volkan; Coban, Furkan

    Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L) has gained importance in the world as a significant oilseed for vegetable oil. The reactions of the same sunflower genotypes to varying ecologies are different, and yield and yield characteristics may vary depending on this. In this study, we were interested in understanding the differential sensitivity of specific sunflower genotypes to different agro-ecological environments in Turkey. A 2-year (2015–2016) study was conducted on a clay-loam soil in a low and high altitude environment to (i) evaluate the genotype × location × year interaction (G×L×Y) for sunflower genotypes, (ii) predict yield components performance and identify high stable sunflower genotypes, and (iii) make genotype-specific management and high performing genotype recommendations within and across agro-ecological regions. The highest yield of seed and oil yield was obtained from the Coral (G1) genotypes, averaging 3558.5 and 1535.6 kg ha-1, respectively in Erzurum and from the 64LC108 (G4) genotypes averaging 2905.7 and 1267.4 kg ha-1, respectively in Samsun ecological conditions. As a result, the determination of the sunflower genotypes suitable for the region will provide the opportunity to obtain high-yield and high quality products because the soil, environment and climatic factors of the region in which they are grown are very useful in determining seed yield and oil content.

    Mathematics teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge involving the relationships between perimeter and area

    Yilmaz, Demet Deniz; Demir, Betül Küçük

    This study aims to investigate and compare mathematics teachers’ knowledge of pedagogical content, knowledge of students’ understanding and knowledge of instructional strategies, subcomponents of pedagogical content knowledge, student errors in the relationship between perimeter and areas in rectangles, squares, and parallelograms. 10 pre-secondary school in-service mathematics teachers and 10 prospective mathematics teachers participated in the study. The qualitative case research approach was used. To collect the data, an interview form consisting of four questions showing student errors related to perimeter and area was prepared. The participants were asked to comment on the questions given in the form, and their answers were recorded. Later, they were asked to write down their answers to these questions. According to the outcomes, there is a lack of knowledge of students’ understanding and knowledge of instructional strategies, which are the subcomponents of the pedagogical content knowledge of prospective mathematics teachers. Moreover, prospective teachers are found to be incompetent as regards the necessary mathematical subject matter knowledge. To prevent difficulties, when the concepts of perimeter and area are taught, instead of giving formulae initially, concrete materials or real-life examples about these concepts should be provided.

    Cognitive and metacognitive skills performed by math teachers in the proving process of number theory

    Ozturk, Mesut

    Evaluating the proving process of mathematics teachers is important for the development of their proof skills. Developing the proof skills of teachers can contribute to their students’ meaningful learning of mathematics. For example, teachers showing simple proofs about number theory can make it easier for students to understand the concepts of multipliers and factors and the concepts of the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple. Within this context, this study was conducted in order to examine the cognitive and metacognitive skills performed by math teachers in the proving process. The study was conducted as a case study using qualitative research design. A total of 14 teachers participated in the study, six of which were elementary math teachers and eight were secondary math teachers. The data were collected through task-based interviews (think-aloud protocol), documents and observation forms. The collected data were analysed using the content analysis method. The results of the study showed that, based on the operational definition of cognition and metacognitive skills made in this study, elementary math teachers generally used cognitive skills, while secondary mathematics teachers performed metacognitive skills.

    In this study, biological activities of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) synthesized by green synthesis method using the fruit extract of Gilaburu (Viburnum opulus L.) plant were investigated. The characterization of the synthesized AgNPs was performed by ultraviolet visible region spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform - infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The crystal size was found to be 52.32 nm when the XRD data were calculated with the Debye-Scherrer's equation. The antimicrobial activities of extract and AgNPs were investigated by microdilution and disk diffusion methods. Antibiofilm activities were examined by the crystal violet technique. The cytotoxic effects of the extract and AgNPs against MCF-7 (human breast cancer) and HUVEC (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) cell lines were evaluated by MTT assay. The IC50 values for the HUVEC line were found to be 0.97 mg/mL (AgNP) and 85.24 mg/mL (extract), while the IC50 values for the MCF-7 line were determined as 0.022 µg/mL (AgNP) and 0.021 µg/mL (extract). To our knowledge, this is the first report to comprehensively examine the biological activities of V. opulus L. extract and biosynthetic AgNPs.

    Kavgacı, Merve; Yukunc, Gulsah Okumus; Keskin, Merve; Can, Zehra; Kolaylı, Sevgi

    Background: Grape is the most widely cultivated fruit all over the World and it is both food and a good source of antioxidants. The fruit is rich in phytochemicals and its seed is especially a source for resveratrol, a stilbene that shows health promoting effect. Objective: In this study, phenolic profile and antioxidant properties of eight grape cultivars with two species cultivated in Turkey were compared. Isabella, Razaki, Alphonse Lavalleé, Red Globe and Emir cultivars were used. Methods: Total phenolic substance (TPS), total flavonoid substance (TFS), total antioxidant capacity (FRAP) and phenolic compositions of the pulp and the seeds were determined. Phenolic composition of grapes were found by using HPLC-UV. Results: The results showed that total phenolic substances and total antioxidant capacities were richer in the seeds than in the pulps. Catechin and epicatechin are major phenolic compounds in the grape seeds, and chrysin, pinocembrin, resveratrol, luteolin and caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) were detected in the pulp as major. Resveratrol varied from 4.50 to 101.89 mg/100 g, while was equally in both the seed and pulp. It was found that all grape samples were rich in phenolic compounds and had antioxidant activity. Conclusion: It was clear that antioxidant capacity and phenolic profile of samples changes according to grape species and cultivars.

    Bibliometric Analysis of Sport Entrepreneurship Literature: The Case of Web of Science; [Spor Girişimciliği Literatürünün Bibliyometrik Analizi: Web of Science Örneği]

    Esmer, Yusuf; Dertli, Şükran

    Sport entrepreneurship is the sport dimension of entrepreneurship and research on the concept has increased in recent years. The aim of this research is to provide a general perspective on sports entrepreneurship, to draw attention to the importance of the subject and to generate ideas for further research. For this purpose, bibliometric analysis technique was used in the research. In this context, 494 publications on sport entrepreneurship in the WoS database were examined under 7 headings (advanced search, cited references, co-author analysis, common word analysis, citation analysis, bibliometric matching analysis, co-citation analysis). These titles were analyzed in a total of 32 parameters and analyzed bibliometrically with Sankey diagram, VOSviewer, MapChart and Wordclouds programs. When the researches on sports entrepreneurship were examined, it was determined that the most publications were made in 2020 and the most citations were made in 2021, and the title, keyword, abstract, research area and WoS categories specified in the publications were related to each other. In this context, it has been seen that the basis of the structure in the relevant literature is sports, entrepreneurship, management, business and innovation. Although bibliometric studies have been conducted in the field of entrepreneurship in national literature, bibliometric analysis of sports entrepreneurship has not been carried out in a comprehensive manner, the number of studies in the international literature is low, and the use of more parameters and more data in this research than the studies conducted in the international literature reveals the importance and originality of the research.

    Physicochemical Characterization of Dextran HE29 Produced by the Leuconostoc citreum HE29 Isolated from Traditional Fermented Pickle

    İspirli, Hümeyra

    In this study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were isolated from traditional fermented pickles, and among the identified strains, Leuconostoc citreum HE29 with a strong slimy colony profile was further selected to determine the physicochemical and techno-functional properties of its exopolysaccharide (EPS). Glucose was the only sugar monomer in the core unit of EPS HE29 detected by HPLC analysis, and glucan HE29 revealed 7.3 kDa of molecular weight. Structural characterization of glucan HE29 by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy analysis demonstrated that EPS HE29 was a dextran-type EPS containing 5.3% levels of (1 → 3)-linked α-D-glucose units. This structural configuration was also supported by FT-IR analysis, which also demonstrated the functional groups within the dextran HE29 structure. In terms of thermal properties detected by TGA and DSC analysis, dextran HE29 demonstrated a degradation temperature of around 280 °C, showing its strong thermal features. A semi-crystalline nature was observed for dextran HE29 detected by XRD analysis. Finally, AFM and SEM analysis revealed tangled network-like properties and web-like branched structures for dextran HE29, respectively. These findings suggest the importance of plant-based fermented products as LAB sources in obtaining novel EPS structures with potential techno-functional roles.

    Are Organic Foods Better for the Environment? Comparison of Environmental Costs of Organic and Conventional Foods

    Alkaya, Fatime; Günay, Esra; Turna, Hilal

    Biodiversity loss, soil and water pollution as well as global warming are among the most debated environmental issues worldwide. Conventional farming, which uses chemical pesticides and fertilizers, hormones and genetically modified products to obtain maximum yield per unit of land to feed the rapidly growing world population, is one of the main causes of these problems. As an alternative production system to conventional farming, organic farming has emerged to overcome environmental problems. The effectiveness of organic farming in addressing environmental issues has been debated for many years. In this chapter, the impact of organic foods on the environment is evaluated under the headings of biodiversity, soil and water quality, energy efficiency and climate change. The consensus drawn from studies is that organic farming is a more environmentally friendly production method compared to conventional farming. However, the heterogeneity of studies and environmental factors are influenced by many factors, making it difficult to reach a consensus.

    A new approach for high-quality production of UHMWPE by applying powder vibration densification before sintering

    Yilmaz, Galip; Uslu, Emin

    Due to its extreme viscosity, UHMWPE powder requires elevated pressure and temperature settings to ensure a fully solid structure. But a gentle process is vital for reliability in certain applications, such as prosthetic liners. A unique type of large gap, not mentioned in the literature, has been observed to resist closing more than regular gaps due to the number of particles forming a shield against pressure. As a solution, a mechanical vibration treatment of the particles before heating was used to eliminate these particular large gaps. Optimum vibration parameters were found, and the samples' final solid density and mechanical properties increased. The particles' dimensions and coefficient of friction were measured, and their vibration-dependent characteristics were discussed. A custom-made microscope apparatus was used to observe the vibration-induced densification of the particles and the gaps resisting closing.

    Religious Attitude of the Great Mongol Khans (Chinggis, Ögödei Güyüg and Möngke Period); [Büyük Moğol Hanlarında Dinî Müsamaha (Cengiz, Ögedey, Göyük ve Möngke Dönemi)]

    Durmuşoğlu, Kurban

    The Great Mongol Khans were leaders who played an essential role in establishing and expanding the Mongol Empire. These leaders tried to keep the religious elements within the empire together since its establishment. Of course, in addition to the Mongol Khans’ attitudes, the period’s political conditions also greatly affected this. The Mongol Khans also took shape according to the political atmosphere of the period from the establishment and shaped their religious practices within this framework. Religious life during the Mongol Khan period presented a very colourful appearance. This situation caused the religious situation during the Mongol period to be quite complex and to change in the historical process. Although shamanist beliefs were widespread in the early Mongol periods, as the Mongols expanded their borders, they also tolerated the religions in the lands they “conquered” and accepted some elements of these religions. Due to theMongols’vast geography and the fact that they included different cultures, many religions, such as Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity, became widespread, and the Mongol Khans generally did not interfere with these religions and sometimes even protected them. The Mongols have encouraged religious tolerance and respected different beliefs since their founder, Chinggis Khan. Chinggis Khan had people of different religions as advisors in his administration, allowing them to practice their religion freely. This led to tolerance of Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, and other beliefs during the reign of Chinggis Khan’s successors. This policy facilitated trade and interaction between different peoples within the Mongol Empire and played an active role in gaining the loyalty of various ethnic and religious groups under their rule. Thus, people of other religions could rise to important positions within the empire. However, this tolerance policy differed in every period and place, and some Mongol khans could be more oppressive. In addition, religious attitudes during the Mongol khan period varied depending on political and strategic goals. Therefore, since the religious attitudes of theMongol khans changed over time, it may not be easy to talk about a general religious attitude. In this study, the religious attitudes of the Mongolian Khans in the period from Chinggis Khan to Möngke are examined, and information is given about which religions the Mongolian Khans had and what kind of relationship they had.

    Assessment of Different Methods for Estimation of Missing Rainfall Data

    Hırca, Tuğçe; Eryılmaz Türkkan, Gökçen

    Missing data is a common problem encountered in various fields, including clinical research, environmental sciences and hydrology. In order to obtain reliable results from the analysis, the data inventory must be completed. This paper presents a methodology for addressing the missing data problem by examining the missing data structure and missing data techniques. Simulated datasets were created by considering the number of missing data, missing data pattern and missing data mechanism of real datasets containing missing values, which are often overlooked in hydrology. Considering the missing data pattern, the most commonly used methods for missing data analysis in hydrology and other fields were applied to the created simulated datasets. Simple imputation techniques and expectation maximization (EM) were implemented in SPSS software and machine learning techniques such as k-nearest neighbor (kNN), together with the hot-deck were implemented in the Python programming language. In the performance evaluation based on error metrics, it is concluded that the EM method is the most suitable completion method. Homogeneity analyses were performed in the Mathematica programming language to identify possible changes and inconsistencies in the completed rainfall dataset. Homogeneity analyses revealed that most of the completed rainfall datasets are homogeneous at class 1 level, consistent and reliable and do not show systematic changes in time.

    Evaluation of Dynamic and Fatigue Behavior of Damaged Steel Beams Strengthened with Different Types of Techniques and a New Strengthening Method Proposal

    Ergün, Mustafa; Ateş, Şevket

    In recent years, the use of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers to strengthen fatigue-damaged steel beams has increased significantly as an alternative to traditional methods due to their easy application to the damaged area, lightweight, durability, and sustainability. In addition to all these positive contributions, there are some disadvantages, such as debonding damage under loading. These disadvantages encourage researchers to produce new materials or apply materials used for other purposes in other fields for fatigue damage. In this paper, an alternative new strengthening technique is mentioned to improve the dynamic and fatigue behavior of fatigue-damaged steel beams. This technique is a strengthening application made using epoxy-based filler and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer fabric. Numerical and experimental studies are carried out on fatigue-damaged steel beams by applying this new technique and using different carbon fiber-reinforced polymers, such as a single and double layer of fabric and a single plate layer. The most significant improvement in dynamic behavior occurred on the specimen, strengthened with this newly proposed technique. In contrast, the lowest increase occurs on the sample strengthened with a single layer of fabric. While the lowest increase arises on the sample strengthened with a single layer of fabric in terms of fatigue life, the most significant progress in fatigue behavior makes on the sample strengthened with a single plate layer. As a result of comparing the results, it is concluded that this new strengthening technique could be an essential alternative to the currently used strengthening methods.

    Fatḥ al-Raḥīm al-Raḥmān fī tafsīr Āyat "inna Allāha yaʼmuru bi al-ʻadl wa al-iḥsān" by Abū al-Ḥasan b. ʻAbd al-Raḥmān b. Muḥammad al-Khaṭīb al-Shirbīnī al-Shāfiʻī: Study and Critical Edition; [Ebü’l-Ḥasen b. ʻAbdirraḥmān İbn Muḥammed el-Ḥaṭīb eş-Şirbīnī eş-Şāfiʻī’nin Fetḥu’r-Raḥīmi’r-Raḥmān fī tefsīri Āyeti "innallāhe yeʼmuru bi’l-ʻadli ve’lİḥsān" adlı eseri: İnceleme ve Tahkik]

    Aras, Zakir

    This study seeks to investigate the treatise of Abū al-Hasan b. Abd al-Rahman b. Muhammad al-Khatīb al-Shirbīnī al- Shāfiʻī (d. after 1028/1619) entitled Fatḥ al-Raḥīm al-Raḥmān fī tafsīr Āyat "inna Allāha yaʼmuru bi al-ʻadl wa al-iḥsān" based on the manuscript of the author. Shedding light on the translation of this unknown scholar, as it is evident from the title of the treatise that it contains the interpretation of this verse, which is well known among scholars and commentators as the most comprehensive verse in the Qur’ān. In this tafsīr, Shirbīnī used many exegetical methods such as exegesis of the Qur'ān with the Qur'ān, exegesis of the Qur'ān with the Sunnah, exegesis of the Qur'ān with the sayings of the Companions, and al-tafsīr bi-al-raʼy, as well as tafsīr approaches such as linguistic tafsīr, the science of munāsabāt, and causality of nuzūl to analyze the meanings of the verse in depth. Another feature that increases the importance of this treatise is that al-Shirbīnī refers to the primary source tafsīr books together with their glosses, sometimes quoting from the commentators verbatim, and sometimes making meaning-based quotations from them, which is the most obvious indication of his exegetical ability and scholarly competence. In this work, he adopted a syncretic approach while emphasizing the meanings of the verse and followed an analytical-critical method while examining the subject. For this reason, he analyzed all the words in the verse one by one, dwelt on the meanings and interpretation of the words, and criticized their views after including the views of the commentators. Therefore, he applied the analytical exegesis method very successfully in this work. Accordingly, he analyzed the narrations related to tafsīr and mentioned the Companions' names during the narration. In particular, he analyzed the narrations from Ibn 'Abbas (d. 68/687-88) about the words al-ʻAdl and al-iḥsān, and stated that there was a dispute between the narrations about the phrase al-iḥsān. He took a scientific stance on the derivation of the word "Allah,” debated between those who accepted it and those who rejected it. He stated that the derivation of the word was not satisfactory and reliable. In the tafsīr of the words al-ʻAdl and al-iḥsān, he discussed the isnāds in Muqātil b. Sulayman’s (d.150/767) tafsīr emphasizing that he received the tafsīr of al-ʻAdl from Ibn 'Abbas and the tafsīr of al-iḥsān from 'Ali b. Abī Tālib. This approach is an important example for the isnād analyses of Muqātil b. Sulayman who was criticized for neglecting isnād chains in his tafsīr. He also criticized al-Baydāwī for being influenced by some of Zamakhsharī's sectarian and theological views. He classified the issue of kinship according to usūl, furū', and hawāshī, expanded the meaning of the verse, and insisted that the message of this verse encompasses all relatives, regardless of the degree of kinship. He was influenced by Latāʾif al-Ishārāt, al-Kashshāf, Mafātīhu al-ghayb, al-Baydawī, Hāshiya al-Jurjānī ala al-Kashshāf, and his grandfather al-Khatīb al-Shirbīnī’s (d.977/1570) al-Sirāj al-munīr.

    Diversity of Clostridium spp. causing late blowing in Kaşar cheese and their behaviour against various antimicrobials

    Kaya, Halıl Ibrahim; Simsek, Omer; Akgunoglu, Ozlem

    One of the problems encountered during storage of Kaşar cheese is blowing. The diversity of Clostridium spp. having a role in blowing was screened and the sensitivity of Clostridium spp. strains against nisin, NaCl, CuSO4, and EDTA was determined and compared. According to 16S rDNA sequence similarity, 12 Clostridium spp. isolates were Clostridium sporogenes while 3 were Clostridium jeddahense. Gas formation by Clostridium spp. spores can be significantly inhibited by reducing the pH below 5.5 and adding 400 IU mL−1 nisin when the number of spores are below 300 spore mL−1. It was determined that the late-blowing problem in Kaşar cheese is caused by C. sporogenes and C. jeddahense strains, but the success of preventive agents is closely related to the amount of spores.
