Karaağaç, Mehmet Onur; Akıncı, Burak; Ergün, Alper
This study aims to improve the performance and stability of parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSC), especially those with heat storage capacity. Three different receiver tube designs have been meticulously developed to achieve this goal. As a result of the research, the Black surface (BS) -PTSC and PTSC- Paraffin wax (PW) systems achieved 26.5% and 56.8% more thermal energy flow, respectively, compared to the conventional PTSC. In addition, while the average thermal efficiencies of the PTSC, BS-PTSC, and PTSC-PW systems were found to be 11.2%, 14.1%, and 16.9%, respectively, the average exergy efficiencies of the PTSC, BS-PTSC, and PTSC-PW were 1.4%, 1.9%, and 2.3%. Painting the black copper pipe and filling the receiver tube with paraffin wax PCM increased thermal and exergy efficiency. Besides, comparing the temperature differences based on the PTSC system, it was found that BS-PTSC and PTSC-PW systems have 12.3% and 16.4% higher tank temperatures, respectively. The findings of this research have demonstrated the potential of parabolic trough solar collectors equipped with heat storage. It has also increased the sustainability index in terms of sustainability and reduced CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Furthermore, it has been shown that these simple and inexpensive designs, without significant modifications to the system, can achieve high thermal performance without unnecessary expensive components.

Sukuroglu, Suleyman; Sukuroglu, Ebru Emine; Totik, Yasar; Gulten, Gokhan; Efeoglu, Ihsan; Avci, Selcuk
Magnesium–lithium alloy is used in different areas of industry and is known as a super light metallic engineering material. However, the use of these alloys is limited due to their surface properties under extreme loads and aggressive environments. Surface treatments can be applied to these alloys to increase their usage areas and improve their weak surface properties. In this study, the micro-arc oxidation method was applied to improve the surface properties of LA91 alloy. The corrosion and adhesion behaviour of the coated samples were investigated. The lowest corrosion current density in the coatings was obtained under Experiment 3. Experiment 3 has the highest Lc2 value due to the coating thickness and the denser and smaller diameter pores of the functional intermediate layer.

Günen, Mehmet Akif; Kulakoğlu, Fikri; Besdok, Erkan
High quality 2D/3D metric documentation of archaeological sites is used in many different applications such as archaeological-heritage management, digital archaeological excavation planning, orthophotographic documentation, and ancient Digital Surfaces Models (DSM) research. Structure-from-Motion based photogrammetry (SfM) is an indirect geodesic measurement technique based on multiple view image processing using high-level automation techniques. Using SfM to generate the high accuracy 2D/3D data needed for digital documentation of archaeological cultural heritage is relatively practical, economical, and fast. Factors such as the number of ground control points and their distribution to the study area, the robustness of the camera system model parameters, and the analytical model of the photogrammetric triangulation method used affect the accuracy of the data produced using SfM-photogrammetry. Kültepe-Kaneš, the center of the ancient Kingdom of Kaneš, which is located in central-Anatolia, was an Assyrian Trade Colony active between ca. 2000 BC and 1700 BC. The site, which was the center of the Old Assyrian trade colonies in Anatolia and one of the most important sites in ancient history, has been under excavation for the last 75 years. In this paper, high accuracy digital documentation of the Kültepe-Kaneš archaeological excavation area was made using different SfM methods. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in accuracy between Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Post-Process Kinematic (PPK) methods for the study area. This suggests that either PPK, RTK, or aerial triangulation with Ground Control Points (GCPs) can be employed to generate orthophotos and DSMs for archaeological sites with relatively flat surface areas, as long as a sufficient number of uniformly distributed GCPs are used.

Öztürk-Yalçın, Feyza; Ürkek, Bayram; Şengül, Mustafa
Kefir is a healthy fermented dairy product, while ice cream is one of the most consumed dairy products. In this research, ice cream was fermented using a commercial kefir culture and flavored with a mint aroma in different proportions: 0% (KI), 0.2% (KIM2), 0.4% (KIM4), and 0.6% (KIM6). The study investigated the microbiological, thermal, rheological, textural, compositional, and sensory properties as well as antioxidant activity of kefir ice cream samples during 45-day storage. The lactic bacilli, lactic cocci, and Leuconostoc counts of samples were >7 log CFU/g, while the yeast counts were <4 log CFU/g. The microbiological properties (except for yeast counts) of the samples were coherent with legal limits. Antioxidant values (except for samples KIM2 and KIM6) values did not indicate significant differences (p <.05). The pH and melting rate values of the samples decreased with the addition of mint flavor, while acidity values increased. The addition of mint aroma caused significant changes in the thermal properties of ice cream. The overrun, a*, WI, and hardness values of the samples decreased based on the mint flavor concentration, whereas the viscosity and rheological increased. Samples KI and KIM2 were scored higher than other samples for all sensory properties. As a result, fermented ice cream flavored (0.2% mint) with mint could be produced as a desirable dairy product with potential functional properties.

Araz, Onur; Elias, Said
Reducing vibrations occurring in structures under environmental loads makes a significant contribution to the development of structural safety. Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are one of the systems commonly used to control structural vibrations. Since TMD is adjusted according to the dominant frequency of the structure, factors that may cause changes in the frequency of the structure can significantly reduce the effectiveness of TMD. One of the main factors that can cause changes in the frequency values of the structure is the interaction between the structure and the soil. To overcome this situation, it is recommended to apply control systems consisting of multiple TMDs (MTMD) to the main structure instead of a single TMD. MTMD systems are arranged in two different types, serial and parallel. In this paper, a methodology that considers the structure-soil interaction (SSI) is presented for the optimum design of control systems with different configurations placed on a main structure under the influence of ground motion. To research the SSI effects, the TMDs-structure coupled system is supported by rocking and swaying springs and the corresponding dashpots, and then the equations of motions of the structural system are derived. In the optimization process based on particle swarm optimization in the frequency domain, different soil types, configuration types, and mass ratios are considered. The efficiency of optimum TMDs arranged in series and parallel is also evaluated using near and far fault ground motions in the time domain. Numerical results show that if structures are constructed on soils with low shear wave velocities, ignoring SSI can significantly change the design parameters and effectiveness of the control system.

It is acknowledged that boron, ammonium, and nitrogenous compounds, which are used today as fire retardants, cause an increase in the hygroscopicity of wood materials. In this study, Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Anatolian chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), and Eastern spruce (Picea orientalis Link) woods were impregnated with 1.5% nano-sized hexagonal boron nitride (NB) according to ASTM D1413-76 (1976) standards. Flame-induced combustion (FIC), self-combustion (SC), and glowing combustion (GC) temperatures were determined. The highest retention amount was measured in spruce and the lowest was in chestnut among the wood samples taken for testing and measurement. When compared with the control samples, NB application caused an increase in SC and FIC temperatures (at higher rates). According to the glowing combustion temperature control samples, an increase was observed in chestnut and spruce and a decrease was observed in Scots pine among the samples applied with NB.

Kucuk, Mehmet A.; Albayrak, Cenk; Turk, Kadir; Yanikomeroglu, Halim
Multi-color visible light communication (MC-VLC) systems, which aim to transmit data in parallel with multi-color LEDs, use optical filters to separate color channels at the receiver side. However, the relatively wide spectrum of LEDs may cause inter-color interference (ICI). In addition, the passband of the optical filters shifts towards the blue wavelength depending on the angle of incidence (AoI) of the light, which may also increase ICI. In this paper, the problem of designing optical filters for MC-VLC systems in the presence of the blue-shift is investigated. The communication environment is assumed to be a typical room illuminated by multiple fixtures in accordance with lighting standards. Moreover, the walls in the room are reflective, resulting in non-line-of-sight (NLoS) components. The passband edges of the optical filter are optimized to maximize the average signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The effect of the field-of-view (FOV) of the receiver on the system performance is also analyzed. Finally, a generic optical filter has been designed that can be used in standards-compliant environments for selected LEDs and a given FOV range. The results show that the designed optical filter provides a higher and uniform capacity than those in the literature.

Barış, Caner; Yanarateş, Cağfer; Altan, Aytaç
The global impacts of climate change have become increasingly pronounced in recent years due to the rise in greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. This trend threatens water resources, ecological balance, and could lead to desertification and drought. To address these challenges, reducing fossil fuel consumption and embracing renewable energy sources is crucial. Among these, wind energy stands out as a clean and renewable source garnering more attention each day. However, the variable and unpredictable nature of wind speed presents a challenge to integrating wind energy into the electricity grid. Accurate wind speed forecasting is essential to overcome these obstacles and optimize wind energy usage. This study focuses on developing a robust wind speed forecasting model capable of handling non-linear dynamics to minimize losses and improve wind energy efficiency. Wind speed data from the Bandırma meteorological station in the Marmara region of Turkey, known for its wind energy potential, was decomposed into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using robust empirical mode decomposition (REMD). The extracted IMFs were then fed into a long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture whose parameters were estimated using the African vultures optimization (AVO) algorithm based on tent chaotic mapping. This approach aimed to build a highly accurate wind speed forecasting model. The performance of the proposed optimization algorithm in improving the model parameters was compared with that of the chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO) algorithm. Finally, the study highlights the potential of utilizing advanced optimization techniques and deep learning models to improve wind speed forecasting, ultimately contributing to more efficient and sustainable wind energy generation. This robust hybrid model represents a significant step forward in wind energy research and its practical applications.

Demir Şahin, Demet; Eker, Hasan
In this study, Afşin Elbistan C-type fly ash (FA) was used, which protects against the sulphate reaction that damages concrete. The detrimental effects of post-reaction decrease with increasing fly ash fineness. The study used 10%, 30%, and 50% weight substitutes of cement. The fly ash was ground in a ball mill for 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 min, and Blaine fineness values of 1555, 1632, 2347, 2589, 2766, and 3433 cm2/g were obtained, respectively. The effect of the samples on the sulphate resistance was investigated by exposing the samples to 5% or 10% added sulphate solutions, and the compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity of the concrete were tested. The compressive strength values obtained decreased with the increase in sulphate content, and the increase in the grinding time and the amount of substituted FA increased the compressive strength values. It was observed that weight loss increased with increasing sulphate content and decreased with the addition of FA with a high Blaine fineness. It was determined that as the Blaine fineness value increased, the sulphate content, FA substitution amount, and ultrasonic pulse speed decreased. This study was carried out to determine the effects of fly ash used at different fineness and replacement ratios on the performance and strength of concrete after exposure to external influences such as sulphate. The use of fly ash instead of cement will reduce the use of waste materials and natural resources and prevent environmental pollution. The cost of cement and concrete will be reduced.

Akay, Seref; Özdilek, Hasret
Recent research has focused on the methods for administration of medications in a controlled manner while minimizing side effects. Cross-linked hydrogels have wide application area as nanocarriers. There are many approaches for developing suitable methods to produce ideal particles. Advances in microtechnology have been considered as a solution to produce controlled drug delivery systems, however, it is limited due to the necessity for specialized laboratories. In this study, a simple method to produce antibiotic-loaded chitosan particles is proposed. Production was carried out with two different designs, a syringe-based flow focusing system (outer diameter of 1 mm, inner diameter of 120 µm) and microchannel with 250 µm width and 100 µm height fabricated with the computer numerical control (CNC). Sodium Triphosphate (TPP) was used as cross-linking agent for the production of particles and the effects of the concentration and flow rates on the particle formation was investigated. It has been observed that particles can be produced in a syringe-based system, but the resulting particles are not homogeneous. In the studies carried out with CNC microchannel, it was determined by SEM analysis that the obtained particles ranged in size from 39 to 771 nm, and it was seen that the CNC microchannel was more effective at low and equal flow rates (25 µl/min). It has been found that increasing the flow rate and concentration of chitosan increases the particle size. It was determined that Ampicillin loaded particles synthesized with the CNC microchannel exhibited high inhibition against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. These results show that the proposed approaches for the design of microsystems can be used in the formation of drug carriers without the need for specialized laboratories and expertise.

The significant natural energy sources for reducing the global usage of fossil fuels are renewable energy (RE) sources. Solar energy is a crucial and reliable RE source. Site selection for solar photovoltaic (PV) farms is a crucial issue in terms of spatial planning and RE policies. This study adopts a Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Multi-Influencing Factor (MIF) technique to enhance the precision of identifying and delineating optimal locations for solar PV farms. The choice of GIS and MIF is motivated by their ability to integrate diverse influencing factors, facilitating a holistic analysis of spatial data. The selected influencing factors include solar radiation, wind speed, Land Surface Temperature (LST), relative humidity, vegetation, elevation, land use, Euclidean distance from roads, and aspect. The optimal sites of solar PV power plant delineated revealed that 'very low' suitability of site covering 4.866% of the study area, 'low' suitability of site 13.190%, 'moderate' suitability of site 31.640%, 'good' suitability of site 32.347%, and 'very good' suitability of site for solar PV power plant encompassing 17.957% of the study area. The sensitivity analysis results show that the solar radiation, relative humidity, and elevation are the most effective on the accuracy of the prediction. The validation of the results shows the accuracy of solar PV power plant prediction using MIF technique in the study area was 81.80%. The integration of GIS and MIF not only enhances the accuracy of site suitability assessment but also provides a practical implementation strategy. This research offers valuable insights for renewable energy policymakers, urban planners, and other stakeholders seeking to identify and develop optimal locations for solar energy power farms in their respective regions.

The pre -Jurassic tectonic evolution of the Central Pontides in northern Turkey is still poorly understood due to the lack of detailed geochemical and geochronological data from the basement units. Therefore, this study reports for the first time combined whole rock geochemistry, trace element data and U-Pb ages for detrital zircons, and Ar-Ar geochronological data from the metasedimentary rocks of the Devrekani Massif, Geme Complex, and the Serve & ccedil;ay Unit to better understand their provenance, depositional age characteristics, and tectonic evolutions. The detrital zircon U-Pb data of metasedimentary units from the Devrekani Massif, Geme Complex, and the Serve & ccedil;ay Unit yield ca. 191, 185 and 298 Ma maximum depositional ages (youngest age peaks), respectively. The Devrekani Massif is dominated by Permo-Carboniferous-aged detrital zircons (67 %), whereas Neoproterozoic and Devonian -aged detrital zircons are more common in the Geme Complex (47 %) and the Serve & ccedil;ay Unit (53 %). These distinct age distributions clearly indicate that the Devrekani Massif may has been deposited in a dissimilar location compared to the Geme Complex and the Serve & ccedil;ay Unit. Furthermore, in contrast to the Devrekani Massif, the source area of the metasedimentary rocks from the Geme Complex is comparable with that of the Serve & ccedil;ay Unit. Lastly, the obtained detrital zircon U-Pb and mica Ar-Ar ages suggest that the Devrekani Massif and the Geme Complex were deposited and metamorphosed during the Early and Middle Jurassic, respectively. The Serve & ccedil;ay Unit was deposited and metamorphosed in the Permian.
