Adsorptive Performance of Magnetic Nano-Biosorbent for Binary Dyes and Investigation of Comparative Biosorption
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Tarhan, Tuba; Tural, Bilsen; Boga, Kenan; Tural, Servet
The individual and competitive biosorption capacities of Metanil Yellow (MY) and Reactive Black 5 (RB5) by glutaraldehyde cross-linked magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (GMCNs) were studied. Competitive biosorption of the MY and RB5 dyes by the GMCNs has never been reported previously. Fourier transform infrared technique has been used to show the biosorbed MY and RB5 dyes onto GMCNs. During the studies, various essential factors influencing the biosorption, like adsorbate concentration, pH of the solution and contact time have been monitored.The equilibrium was achieved within 17 h for single dyes and 3 h for binary mixture at pH 3. The biosorption capacities were 620 mg/g for dye MY and 2549 mg/g for dye RB5 at pH 3, 30 degrees C. The second-order kinetic model has good compatibility with the dynamical biosorption behavior of a single dye and binary mixture. In order to study the competition biosorption of the RB5 and MY dyes in mixture solutions, the intraparticle diffusion model was used. Competition biosorption through analysis of the intraparticle diffusion model apparently favored the RB5 dye more than the MY dye on the GMCNs in mixture solutions. The biosorbent was regenerated efficiently through the alkaline solution and was then reused ten times for biosorption-desorption cycles.

(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic Inst Ltd, 2019) Tekdal, S.; Dogan, S.; Kendal, E.; Karaman, M.
The development of stable and adaptable new cultivars are based only on positive results obtained from the interaction between the genotype and the environment. Therefore, the study aimed to test the stability and general adaptability of promising barley lines in terms of grain yield and traits in multi -environments. For this purpose, twelve barley genotypes were used in the study. The trials were carried out with four replications in a random design at seven environments in years 2012-13 and 2013-14. The superior and stable genotypes were identified with GGE biplot and AMMI (Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) models. The AMMI analysis showed that the major treatment sum of squares was affected by environments (80.6%), GE (14.0%) and genotypes (5.4%), respectively. On the other hand, the first two principal component axes (PCA 1 and PCA 2) contributed to the complete interaction with 88.1%, whereas, PCA 3 and PCA 4 axes only with 12.0%. The GGE biplot indicated that G4 is adaptable for all environments, while Altikat, G2 and G3 showed specific adaptation to El, E3 and E5, G6, G7 and G8 to E6, respectively. According to both techniques, G2, G3, G6, G7, G8 and Altikat were the best genotypes with high yield, whereas G4 was the best with high yield, and stable and general adaptation. The results of biplot indicated that G4 (ARUPO /K8755//MORA/3/CERISE/SHYRIHALEL I/4/CANELA/5/HART-BAR) was recommended for release and it was released as HEVSEL in 2017. On the other hand; G7 and G6 were protected as genetic material to use as parent in breeding programs for yield stability and quality respectively.

(Elsevier, 2024) Turk, Omer; Ozhan, Davut; Acar, Emrullah; Akinci, Tahir Cetin; Yilmaz, Musa
Today, as in every life-threatening disease, early diagnosis of brain tumors plays a life-saving role. The brain tumor is formed by the transformation of brain cells from their normal structures into abnormal cell structures. These formed abnormal cells begin to form in masses in the brain regions. Nowadays, many different techniques are employed to detect these tumor masses, and the most common of these techniques is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In this study, it is aimed to automatically detect brain tumors with the help of ensemble deep learning architectures (ResNet50, VGG19, InceptionV3 and MobileNet) and Class Activation Maps (CAMs) indicators by employing MRI images. The proposed system was implemented in three stages. In the first stage, it was determined whether there was a tumor in the MR images Tumor) were detected from MR images (Multi-class Approach). In the last stage, CAMs of each tumor group were created as an alternative tool to facilitate the work of specialists in tumor detection. The results showed that the overall accuracy of the binary approach was calculated as 100% on the ResNet50, InceptionV3 and MobileNet architectures, and 99.71% on the VGG19 architecture. Moreover, the accuracy values of 96.45% with ResNet50, 93.40% with VGG19, 85.03% with InceptionV3 and 89.34% with MobileNet architectures were obtained in the multi-class approach.

Cardioprotective Effects of Hypericum Triquetrifolium Turra. Against Cyclophosphamide Related Cardiotoxicity in Rats
(Marmara Univ, 2018) Cetik Yildiz, Songul; Keskin, Cumali; Sahinturk, Varol; Ayhanci, Adnan
Cyclophosphamide (CYP) is commonly used as anticancer agent but its usage is limited by cardiotoxic side effects such as dose-dependent cardiac damage, morphologically defined necrosis and bleeding. Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra. (HT) shows anti-oxidative and anticarciogenic properties with its rich phenolic contents. The current study was designed to investigate the possible protective effect of HT on CYP-induced cardiotoxicity. Albino rats were randomly divided into 9 groups, each included 7 animals. Serum creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), malondialdehyde (MDA), aspartate transaminase (AST), glutathione (GSH), total antioxidant (TAC) and total oxidant capacity (TOC) levels were investigated. Furthermore, the cardiac tissue samples were investigated histopatologically. While the levels of serum CK-MB, MDA, AST and TOC were high, the levels of serum GSH and TAC levels were low in the CYP groups. It was also observed that CYP-induced cardiotoxicity was dose dependent. In the treatment with CYP plus HT doses there was observed an essential decrease in the CYP cardiotoxicity; decreased cell damage and oxidative stress parameters and also increased GSH and TAC levels. Based on our findings, it can be proposed that HT seed methanol extract was a strong candidate in preventing the CYP-induced cardiotoxicity.

Developed Analytical Expression for Current Harmonic Distortion of the Pv System's Inverter in Relation To the Solar Irradiance and Temperature
(Springer, 2021) Cangi, Hasan; Eid, Bilal; Yilmaz, Ahmet Serdar; Adak, Suleyman
This paper deals with modeling and simulation of the total harmonic distortion of the current (THDI) dispatched from the inverter and connected to nonlinear load. The change of THD(I)was examined in relation to the ambient temperature (T) and solar irradiance (G). The developed model is being used to extract parameters for a given THD(I)as a function of temperature and solar radiation. This study outlines the working principle of photovoltaic (PV) panel as well as PV array. Off-grid PV system is modeled by using Matlab/Simulink program, and detailed analytical study has been carried out in this work. The design, modeling and simulation of this study are performed from 50 up to 988 W/m(2)for solar irradiance. Harmonic components have negative effects on the steady-voltage stability of the PV system. Therefore, analytical expression is needed for steady-state stability analysis in order to reduce negative effects. Hence, two analytical expressions of THD(I)were obtained by two new different methods which are statistical package for the social sciences program and genetic expression programming. Eventually, two different methods have been verified by the Matlab/Simulink program in order to find out THD(I)and demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. As a result of this study, it is observed that input current THDI of nonlinear load is too high at low irradiance. It is suggested that active harmonic filters should be used at low irradiance in order to produce better quality energy and avoid damages in the PV system.

(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2024) Duzgun, Mehmet; Eren, Abdullah; Bilge, Ugur; Ceylan, Ramazan; Selcuk, Ramazan; Duz, M. Zahir
There are important relationships between humic acid (HA) and the bioavailability, reactions and mobility of trace elements in the soil. For this reason, soils are tried to be improved chemically, biologically and physically with HA applications. In this study, the relationship of humic acid contents of 118 agricultural soil samples from Diyarbakir region with some trace elements (Al, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Fe, Mn, Pb, Sb, Sn, Se, V and P) was evaluated by multivariate statistical analysis. After the soil samples were solubilized by the microwave wet digestion method, the element contents were determined with the ICP OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer) device. SRM NIST 2586 was used as SRM (Standard Reference Material) for the accuracy of the method. Recovery values were found between 91.6% and 105.9% as a result of the analysis. Humic acid was extracted from soils by the International Society for Humic Substances (IHSS) method and determined using a shaker and centrifuge device. For the accuracy of the method, it was tested with Humic Acid Sodium Salt (HA-Na). Pearson correlation and partial correlation analysis were applied to the obtained data set. In addition, multivariate statistical analyses such as multiple regression HCA (Hierarchical Cluster Analysis) and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) were applied. Multiple regression analysis was performed according to the Step-wise method. Manganese and P (p< 0.01) were significant when HA was taken as the dependent variable. According to the Pearson correlation coefficient, the correlation between HA and As (r = -0.282**) in soil was negative and significant, while Fe (r = 0.185*), Mn (r = 0.273**)), Sn (r = 0.242*), Se (r = 0.325**) and P (r = 0.315**) were determined as positive and significant. In clustering and PCA analysis, HA, P Mn and Fe were found to be in the same group. The analyses have shown that HA has a positive effect on the plant nutrients in the soil.

In a two-year study, under the environmental conditions of the plains of Mardin province in Turkey, the effects of different doses of phosphorus (0, 30, 60, 90, 120 kg ha(-1)) on the yield and quality characteristics of the coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) were examined. Plant characteristics such as plant height, number of branches, number of umbels, thousand seed weight and seed yield were examined, besides quality characteristics such as essential oil rate and composition. The essential oil was isolated with a Clevenger apparatus from mature fruits. Essential oil components were determined with Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results revealed that phosphorus doses affect the plant characteristics of coriander including plant height, number of branches, number of umbels and thousand fruit weight with positive significance. Fruit yield was not affected significantly. Phosphorus doses had a significant positive effect on essential oil rate. Increasing phosphorus doses affected rates of alpha-pinene, geranyl acetate and camphor positively. However, Linalool and gamma-terpinene were not affected by phosphorus doses significantly. The application of 120 kg phosphorus per hectare, which had the highest essential oil rate in both years, can be recommended in coriander farming.

Since thermophilic microorganisms are valuable sources of thermostable enzymes, it is essential to recognize the potential toxicity of silver nanoparticles used in diverse industrial sectors. Thermophilic bacteria Geobacillus vulcani 2Cx, Bacillus licheniformis 3CA, Paenibacillus macerans 3CA1, Anoxybacillus ayderensis FMB1, and Bacillus paralicheniformis FMB2-1 were selected, and their MIC and MBC values were assessed by treatment with AgNPs in a range of 62.5-1500 mu g mL(-1). The growth inhibition curves showed that the G. vulcani 2Cx, and B. paralicheniformis FMB2-1 strains were more sensitive to AgNPs, demonstrating a reduction in population by 71.1% and 31.7% at 62.5 mu g mL(-1) and by 82.9% and 72.8% at 250 mu g mL(-1), respectively. TEM and FT-IR analysis revealed that AgNPs caused structural damage, cytoplasmic leakage, and disruption of cellular integrity. Furthermore, cell viability showed a significant decrease alongside an increase in superoxide radical (SOR; O-2(-)) production. beta-galactosidase biosynthesis decreased to 28.8% level at 500 mu g mL(-1) AgNPs for G. vulcani 2Cx, 32.2% at 250 mu g mL(-1) for A. ayderensis FMB1, and 38.8% only at 62.5 mu g mL(-1), but it was completely inhibited at 500 mu g mL(-1) for B. licheniformis 3CA. Moreover, B. paralicheniformis FMB2-1 showed a significant decrease to 11.2% at 125 mu g mL(-1). This study is the first to reveal the toxic effects of AgNPs on thermophilic bacteria.

Effects of ZnO Nanoparticles and Ethylenediamine-N,N′ Acid on Seed Germination of Four Different Plants
(Wiley-VCH verlag GmbH, 2019) Dogaroglu, Zeynep Gorkem; Eren, Abdullah; Baran, M. Firat
The release of nanoparticles and biodegradable chelating agents into the environment may cause toxicological and ecotoxicological effects. The aim of this study is to determine the ecotoxic effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and ethylenediamine disuccinic acid (EDDS) on most cultured four plants. The durum wheat, bread wheat, barley, and rye are exposed to 5 mL 10 mg L-1 ZnO nanoparticles and 10 mg L-1 EDDS in the seed germination stage. Results show that these different plant species have different responses to ZnO nanoparticles and EDDS. The germination percentage of bread wheat and rye decreases in the application of ZnO nanoparticles while the germination of durum wheat and barley increases as much as in radicle elongation and seedling vigor. While ZnO treatment causes a decrease in bread wheat and rye germinated rat in the range of 33-14.3%, respectively, there is no change in germination rate of these plants at EDDS treatment. In addition, EDDS treatment positively affects barley germination rate. In conclusion, it is clear that ZnO nanoparticles have more toxic effects on bread wheat and rye than EDDS, while barley is positively affected by ZnO nanoparticles and EDDS.

Energy Consumption of Defrosting Process in No-Frost Refrigerators
(Yildiz Technical Univ, 2018) Ozkan, D. B.; Unal, F.
Refrigerators have high energy consumption because they consume energy throughout the day, and they are used in all residences and in most offices. Designing more efficient models and, thus, decreasing the energy consumption of refrigerators have become necessary, owing to the global energy scarcity. The purpose of this study was to decrease energy consumption and increase the efficiency of the defrosting process in no-frost refrigerators. The defrosting process plays an important role in the energy consumption of no-frost refrigerators. The amount of energy needed for defrosting and the time it takes are important factors for manufacturers in terms of energy performance. Recently, a theoretical correlation was developed as a function of the frost thickness, heat flux, and frost density for estimating the defrosting time of an evaporator fin surface. The melting time of the frost on the fin was calculated by a mathematical model and compared to results that were obtained experimentally. The results were differed from the actual melting time as 4.7%.
