    Effect of plasma nitriding treatment on structural, tribological and electrochemical properties of commercially pure titanium

    Çelik, Ilhan; Karakan, Mehmet

    In this study, plasma nitriding treatment was applied to commercially pure titanium (Grade 2). Structural properties, electrochemical and tribological behaviours of the nitrided pure titanium specimens were comparatively investigated. Microstructure and morphology of the plasma nitrided specimens were analysed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, corrosion tests were conducted in Ringer's solution, which represents a human body environment, to determine electrochemical properties. Then, tribological and frictional properties were investigated using pin-on-disc tribometer, and a micro-hardness tester was used to measure the hardness of the coatings. The results showed that plasma nitrided specimens exhibited higher surface hardness than the untreated specimens did. In addition, the plasma nitrided specimens at 700 °C presented significantly better performance than the other plasma nitrided specimens (at 500 °C and 600 °C) under dry wear conditions. Moreover, corrosion test results showed that corrosion behaviours of untreated and nitrided samples had similar characteristic.

    Geochemical, fluid inclusion and isotopic (O, H and S) constraints on the origin of Pb-Zn±Au vein-type mineralizations in the Eastern Pontides Orogenic Belt (NE Turkey)

    Akaryali, Enver

    The mineralization area (Altinpinar, Torul-Gümüşhane) is situated in the Southern Zone of the Eastern Pontides Orogenic Belt (EPOB), which is one of the important metallogenic provinces in the Alpine-Himalayan belt and is intruded by the late Carboniferous granitic rocks (Gümüşhane Granitoid), an early to middle Jurassic volcano-sedimentary unit consisting mainly of basaltic-andesitic volcanic and pyroclastic rocks (Şenköy Formation) and Eocene basaltic-andesitic volcanic rocks (Alibaba Formation). The studied Pb-Zn ± Au mineralizations are related to silica veins ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 40. cm in thickness and are localized within fracture zones developed along the contact between the Gümüşhane Granitoid and Şenköy Formation. Silicic, sulfidic, hematitic, argillic, intense chloritic and carbonate alteration are the most common types from the fault lines toward the outer zones. Cavity filling and banded structures are widely observed. The mineral paragenesis comprises galena, sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, tennantite and quartz. Mineral chemistry studies indicate that ion exchange occurs between Zn and Fe in sphalerites, and the Zn/Cd ratio of sphalerites varies between 50.65 and 144.64. The homogenization temperatures measured from fluid inclusions vary between 170. °C and 380. °C, especially between 250. °C and 300. °C, and the wt.% NaCl eqv. salinity of ore-forming fluids is between 2.4 and 7.3 (4.7 on average), supporting an epithermal system in their origin. The values of sulfur isotopes, which are obtained from pyrite and galena minerals, range between - 8.3‰ and - 2.3‰, indicating that sulfur, which enables mineral formation, originates from magmatic genesis. The average formation temperature of the ore is 317. °C as determined with a sulfur isotope geothermometer. The values of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes vary between 8.5‰ and 10.2‰ and - 91‰ and -73‰, respectively. With regard to the compositions of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes, fluids comprising the mineralization are formed by the mixture of magmatic water and meteoric water. This situation is supported by the fact that the increase in the homogenization temperature indicates dilution with surface water but depends on the increase in the salinity of fluid inclusions. Considering all the data, it is clear that the studied mineralization is an epithermal vein-type mineralization that is related to granitic magmas.

    Effect of piracetam and nimodipine on full-thickness skin burns in rabbits

    Sari, Elif; Dincel, Gungor C.

    The potential of several drugs for full-thickness skin burns has been investigated, but the treatment of such burns remains a challenge in plastic surgery. The present study was designed to determine the effect of systemic and topical administration of piracetam and nimodipine on full-thickness skin burn wound healing. A total of 36 New Zealand male rabbits were divided into six groups. Full-thickness skin burns were produced in all the groups, except the control group. Piracetam was administered systemically (piracetam-IV) and topically (piracetam-C) for 14 days, and nimodipine was administered systemically (nimodipine-IV) and topically (nimodipine-C) over the burn wounds for 14 days. The sham group underwent burn injury but was not administered any drug. After 21 days, gross examination and histopathological analysis were performed and the results were compared statistically. Nimodipine-C and nimodipine-IV had no effect on burn wound healing. However, both piracetam-IV and piracetam-C significantly enhanced the healing of the full-thickness skin burn wounds, although the latter was more effective, useful and practical in burn wound healing. The histopathological features of the wounds in the piracetam-C group were closer to those of the control group than those of the other groups. Piracetam-C rather than piracetam-IV may promote full-thickness burn wound healing in rabbits.

    Application of response surface methodology for optimizing the recovery of phenolic compounds from hazelnut skin using different extraction methods

    Odabaş, Halil İbrahim; Koca, Ilkay

    Hazelnut skin which is a rich source of phenolic compounds is a by-product of hazelnut roasting process. In present study, ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SCE) methods were applied for recovery of phenolic compounds from hazelnut skin. Response surface methodology was used to estimate optimum extraction conditions. Extraction studies were performed according to Box-Behnken Design. Temperature (UAE)/power (MAE), time and ethanol concentration were independent variables for UAE and MAE. The independent variables selected for SCE were temperature, time and pressure. The optimum extraction conditions were 45 min and 67.2–67.6% ethanol concentration, 600 W, 6 min and 55.03–56.23% ethanol concentration and 42.72–49.10 °C, 59.83–60.00 min and 10.01–11.48 bar, for UAE, MAE and SCE respectively. Total phenolic content, FRAP and 1/EC50 values at the optimum conditions were 122.99–123.01 mg GAE/g, 612.20–613.25 mmol Fe(II)/g and 4.36 mL/mg for UAE, 111.53–111.55 mg GAE/g, 582.44–582.52 mmol Fe(II)/g and 2.48 mL/mg for MAE and 69.59–72.64 mg GAE/g, 426.25–465.52 mmol Fe(II)/g and 2.18–2.27 mL/mg for SCE, respectively. Maceration was performed for comparison with novel methods. UAE was found to be the best method of the extraction of phenolic compounds from hazelnut skin with the highest total phenolic content and antioxidant activity values.

    Separation and preconcentration of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions via carrier element-free coprecipitation using an acetohydrazide derivative

    Tümay, Süreyya Oǧuz; Yazar, Murat; Ozdeş, Duygü; Bektaş, Hakan; Duran, Celal

    A new method based on the combination of carrier element-free coprecipitation and flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination has been investigated for simultaneous separation and preconcentration of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions in some environmental solid and liquid samples. The 2-f3-(4-methylbenzyl)-4-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylg -N'-(phenylmethylene) acetohydrazide (MITA) was utilized as an organic coprecipitating agent without using a carrier element for coprecipitation of the analyte ions. The effects of experimental conditions including aqueous solution pH, MITA quantity, sample volume, standing time, and centrifugation rate and time were investigated in detail and optimized. The influences of some foreign ions were also evaluated on the quantitative recoveries of the analyte ions. The preconcentration factors were 125 for both analyte ions. The detection limits were 1.32 μgL-1 and 0.47 μg L-1 for Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions, respectively, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were lower than 4% for both analyte ions. After the accuracy of the method was checked, it was applied to sea and stream water as liquid samples and waste tea and tobacco as solid samples to determine the levels of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions.

    Non-destructive testing of an ancient Masonry Bastion

    Altunişik, Ahmet Can; Adanur, Süleyman; Genç, Ali Fuat; Günaydin, Murat; Okur, Fatih Yesevi

    Historical masonry structures have seismic vulnerability and most damages and demolishes arise from the seismic actions like earthquakes. In this paper, the structural behavior of Zağanos Bastion is examined with experimental and numerical methods. The operational modal analysis technique is used to illustrate the dynamic characteristics of the bastion experimentally. Finite element model is developed by ANSYS software and dynamic characteristics of the bastion, such as natural frequencies and mode shapes are calculated numerically. Furthermore, time history seismic analysis is carried out. The results show that the ambient vibration measurements are enough to identify the structural response of the bastion. Maximum differences between the natural frequencies are attained as 26%. To minimize these differences, finite element model of the bastion should be updated by using some uncertain parameters. The principal stresses are satisfied in general, but the maximum tensile and compression stresses values exceed the allowable code limits at some points of the masonry components.

    Determination of the effect of lead mine waste aggregate on some concrete properties and radiation shielding

    Çullu, Mustafa; Ertaş, Haydar

    The aim of this study is to determine the radiation absorption capacity of concretes produced from lead mine waste which cannot be processed economically as the lead content is low in the mines they are extracted. Lead mine waste (tallow) were exchanged at ratios of 25%, 50% and 75% respectively with barite and limestone aggregates and samples were prepared at C16, C25 and C35 classes. The compressive strength and the unit weight of the prepared samples were determined. The linear absorption coefficients of prepared concrete samples at 662 keV of energy were determined. In addition the relationship between the radiation absorption capacity and the compressive strength–unit weight was investigated. The experiments demonstrated that best absorption was in concrete samples with 100% barite content (100B). On the other hand in the concrete samples prepared from the mixture of limestone and lead mine waste aggregates, it was observed that radiation absorption capacity decreased due to decreasing amount of barite. In concrete samples prepared from the mixture of lead mine waste and limestone aggregates, it was observed that radiation absorption capacity increased due to increasing amount of mine waste aggregates in the concrete. As a result it was observed that lead mine waste aggregates do not absorb as much radiation as barite aggregates depending on the ratio increase of lead mine waste in the aggregate added to the concrete mixture. However the absorbed radiation amount was observed to be higher compared to limestone aggregates.

    Geochronology and geochemistry of Eocene-aged volcanic rocks around the Bafra (Samsun, N Turkey) area: Constraints for the interaction of lithospheric mantle and crustal melts

    Temizel, Irfan; Arslan, Mehmet; Yücel, Cem; Abdioğlu, Emel; Ruffet, Gilles

    40Ar-39Ar age, whole-rock chemical, and Sr-Nd isotope data are presented for the post-collisional, Eocene (51.3-44.1 Ma)-aged volcanic rocks from the Bafra (Samsun) area in the western part of the Eastern Pontides (N Turkey) aiming to unravel their sources and evolutionary history. The studied Eocene volcanic rocks can be divided into two groups: analcime-bearing (tephritic lava flows and dykes) and analcime-free (basaltic to trachytic lava flows and basaltic dykes). The analcime-bearing volcanic rocks have a fine-grained porphyritic texture with clinopyroxene phenocrysts, whereas analcime-free volcanic rocks show a variety of textures including hyalo-microlitic microgranular porphyritic, intersertal, trachytic, fluidal, and glomeroporphyritic. The volcanic rocks also show evidence of mineral-melt disequilibrium textures such as sieved, rounded, and corroded plagioclases, partially melted and dissolved clinopyroxenes and poikilitic texture. Petrochemically, the parental magmas of the volcanic rocks evolved from alkaline to calc-alkaline lava suites and include high-K and shoshonitic compositions. They display enrichments in light rare earth and large ion lithophile elements such as Sr, K, and Rb, as well as depletions in high field strength elements such as Nb, Ta, Zr, and Ti, resembling subduction-related magmas. The analcime-bearing and -free volcanic rocks share similar incompatible element ratios and chondrite-normalised rare rearth element patterns, indicating that they originated from similar sources. They also have relatively low to moderate initial 87Sr/86Sr (0.7042-0.7051), high positive εNd(t) values (+0.20 to +3.32), and depleted mantle Nd model ages (TDM1 = 0.63-0.93 Ga, TDM2 = 0.58-0.84 Ga). The bulk-rock chemical and Sr-Nd isotope features as well as the high Rb/Y and Th/Zr, but low Nb/Zr and Nb/Y ratios, indicate that the volcanic rocks were derived from a lithospheric mantle source that had been metasomatised by slab-derived fluids. Trace element modelling suggests that the parental magma(s) of the volcanic rocks represent mixtures of melts derived by low-degree (~5-10%) partial melting of spinel-lherzolite (40-85%) and garnet-lherzolite (15-60%) mantle sources. Sr-Nd isotopic modelling also suggests that a 25-35% lower crustal component was added in the parental magmas; AFC modelling additionally indicates minor upper crustal contamination during the evolution of the volcanic rocks. In conclusion, integration of the geochemical, petrologic, and isotopic data with regional geology suggests that the analcime-bearing and -free volcanic rocks evolved from parental magma(s) derived from melts of a subcontinental lithospheric mantle and lower crustal sources.

    Synthesis of new 1,2,4-triazole compounds containing Schiff and Mannich bases (morpholine) with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities

    Ünver, Yasemin; Deniz, Sadik; Çelik, Fatih; Akar, Zeynep; Küçük, Murat; Sancak, Kemal

    Compound 2 was synthesized by reacting CS2/KOH with compound 1. The treatment of compound 2 with hydrazine hydrate produced compound 3. Then, compound 3 was converted to Schiff bases (4a–d) by the handling with several aromatic aldehydes. The treatment of triazole compounds 4a–d containing Schiff base with morpholine gave compounds 5a–d. All compounds were tested for their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The antioxidant test results of DPPH• radical scavenging and ferric reducing/antioxidant power methods showed good antioxidant activity. The triazole-thiol (3) was the most active, and the effect of the substituent type of the thiophene ring on the activity was same for both Schiff bases (4a–d) and Mannich bases (5a–d). Among the newly synthesized triazole derivatives, the Schiff base 4d and the Mannich base 5d carrying nitro substituent on the thiophene ring showed promising antibacterial and antifungal activity, with lower MIC values than the standard antibacterial ampicillin.

    Effect of apple fibre on textural and relaxation properties of wheat chips dough

    Karaman, S.; Yilmaz, M.T.; Toker, O.S.; Yuksel, F.; Kayacier, A.; Dogan, M.

    In this study, the effect of apple fibre with different levels of fibres (5, 10, 15 and 20%) was investigated on viscoelastic nature and the textural properties of wheat chips dough using stress relaxation test and texture profile analysis. Apple fibre addition changed the stress relaxation properties of wheat dough, depending on fibre concentration. Increase in the fibre concentration increased resistance of the dough samples to the deformation by increasing their elasticity. Hardness and gumminess values increased while springiness, cohesiveness and resilience values decreased as apple fibre level increased. Significant correlations were found between stress relaxation and texture profile analysis parameters. In order to describe the effect of apple fibre on the viscoelastic properties of wheat dough, generalised Maxwell, Nussinovitch and Peleg models were fitted to experimental stress relaxation data. All three models were found to be efficient in describing the stress-relaxation behaviour of wheat dough; but, the Maxwell model was the most effective. In addition, power-law and exponential functions were successfully used to describe the effect of apple fibre concentration on the constants related with stress relaxation data and textural parameters.

    A novel carrier element-free co-precipitation method for separation/preconcentration of lead and cadmium ions from environmental matrices

    Bulut, Volkan Numan; Demirci, Hamit; Ozdes, Duygu; Gundogdu, Ali; Bekircan, Olcay; Soylak, Mustafa; Duran, Celal

    A new separation and pre-concentration method was presented in this study for two trace heavy metal ions, lead (Pb2+) and cadmium (Cd2+) from aqueous solutions, based on a carrier element free co-precipitation (CEFC) method using a triazole derivate, 3-(4-tert-butylphenyl)−5-phenyl-4-(2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzylamino)−4H-1,2,4-triazole as an organic co-precipitating agent. The method was optimized with some analytical parameters which affect the quantitative recoveries of study metals. According to the results, optimum pH of solution, quantity of co-precipitating agent, centrifugation and incubation time, and sample volume were determined as 6.0, 1.5 mg, 10 min, and 10 min, and 100 mL, respectively. In addition, no significant matrix interferences were observed over the recovery of the metal ions. For analytical figure of merit, RSD values of the method were found as 5.7 and 4.8 for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively. LOD values were also calculated as 2.0 µg L−1 for Pb2+ and 0.2 µg L−1 for Cd2+. The accuracy of method was checked with spiked/recovery tests and analysis of a standard reference material. The developed method was finally applied to the real liquid/solid samples under the optimum conditions.

    Comparison of the antioxidant properties of some onion and garlic cultivars grown in Turkey

    Koca, I.; Tekguler, B.; Odabas, H.I.; Gokce, A.F.

    Garlic and onions are widely consumed among the vegetables in Turkey. The objective of this study was to determine the antioxidant properties of red, yellow and white onions, and Chinese and Taşköprü garlics grown in Turkey. The color, dry matter, total soluble solids, total phenolics and antioxidant activity values of the samples were determined. Total phenolic content was studied by the Folin-Ciocalteu method expressed as mg gallic acid equivalents g-1 dry weight (mg GAE g-1 DW), while antioxidant activity was analysed using two different methods as ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP, mmol Fe2+ g-1 DW) and, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. Red onions had the highest total phenolic contents ranged from 6.60 to 9.85 mg GAE g-1 DW (8.40±1.06 mg GAE g-1 DW). The total phenolic contents of yellow onions, white onions, Chinese garlics and Taşköprü garlics were found as 4.41-9.55 mg GAE g-1 DW (7.19±1.96 mg GAE g-1 DW), 1.73-3.09 mg GAE g-1 DW (2.16±0.47 mg g-1 DW), 2.05-3.34 mg GAE g-1 DW (2.64±0.45 mg g-1 DW) and 1.05 to 2.08 mg GAE g-1 DW (1.59±0.38 mg GAE g-1 DW), respectively. Also, red onions had the highest antioxidant activity at 8.50±4.85 mmol Fe2+ g-1 DW and 69.68±15.95% for FRAP and DPPH assays, respectively. FRAP values of yellow onions, white onions, Chinese garlics and Taşköprü garlics were found as 3.84±2.02 mmol Fe2+g-1 DW, 1.46±0.43 mmol Fe2+ g-1 DW, 2.03±0.57 mmol Fe2+ g-1 DW and 1.26±0.32 mmol Fe+2 g-1 DW, respectively. DPPH radical scavenging activity (the percentage of DPPH reduced by 14.3 mg mL-1 extract) of yellow onions (42.25±8.32%) was higher than white onions (11.57±0.71%). DPPH radical scavenging activity of the garlic extracts (14.3 mg mL-1) was found to be less than 2%. In the present study, the highest antioxidant activity and total phenolics were found in red onions, while the lowest values was Taşköprü garlics.

    Detection of permeability in irrigation dams with the electrical resistivity methods

    Sari, M.; Seren, A.

    It was aimed to identify the permeability of the dam area by collecting the information of 15 boreholes with 450 m depth in totally previously made along the dam axis line and the electric resistivity measurements along four lines vertical to the same axis line. Kirklartepe Dam, planned to be an irrigation dam for agricultural purposes, in the Central district of Bayburt province located in the northeastern region of Turkey was selected as the study area and it was tried to identify the permeability of the units forming the dam area. 2D and 3D underground views of the measurement lines were determined by implementing the inversion process to the electric resistivity measurements. While examining these sections, it was interpreted that anomaly areas with low resistivity values categorize an alluvial cone with permeable slope wash character, while anomaly fields with high resistivity categorize an impermeable metamorphic unit. Moreover, it was tried to reveal the permeability of the dam area by associating with the information of the present boreholes in the study area and creating section maps of 3D views obtained for each 10 m. Thus, it was observed that current boring information and electric resistivity measurement results supported one another.

    Indoor radon and gamma spectrometric measurements for the Erzincan Basin on North Anatolian Fault Zone, Turkey

    Kucukomeroglu, B.; Ozturk, E.; Damla, N.; Celik, N.; Duran, S. Uzun; Cevik, U.; Taskin, H.; Albayrak, N.

    Indoor radon and soil radioactivity levels were determined for Erzincan province in Turkey. Indoor radon concentrations were determined in 89 dwellings using CR-39 passive Solid State Nuclear Track Detectors (SSNTDs) for four seasons. The mean annual 222Rn activity concentration was found to be 119 Bq.m-'3. In the winter season, indoor radon concentrations showed the highest values while the lowest values were observed in the summer season. A model was used to predict the number of lung cancer incidences due to inhalation of radon. The findings have indicated that radon is responsible for 13% of lung cancer incidences occurring in the Erzincan province. Since indoor radon concentration correlates with 226Ra content in soil beneath the dwellings, soil samples were collected near the houses where indoor radon measurements were performed in order to seek a correlation. The 226Ra, 232Th, 40K and 137Cs activity concentration values were 52, 26, 649 and 9 Bq.kg-'1, respectively. The annual effective dose due to naturally occurring radionuclides was around 82 μSv.y-'1 which is higher than the world average value of 70 μSv.y-'1. The results of the present study are expected to be a useful baseline data for future studies.
