- MakaleAçık Erişim2019The impact of economic globalization on CO2 emissions: The case of NAFTA countries
Kalaycı, Cemalettin; Hayaloğlu, Pınar
International trade with the economic globalization gaining wide currency has brought along the environmental problems. Transition to environment-friendly high-tech products and schemes in developed countries alleviated the impacts of these problems whereas underdeveloped environmental standards in developing countries still cause deterioration in the environmental quality. For this reason, there are different views on the environmental impacts of globalization. The study investigates the impact of globalization and trade openness on CO2 emissions with reference to the NAFTA countries. Employing panel-data analysis, the study relies on the annual data for a period of 1990–2015. The findings reveal that there is a positive relationship between economic globalization and trade openness, and CO2 emissions. The study further tests the validity of Environmental Kuznets Curve for the target countries. To this end, the research identifies a positive-direction relationship in both linear and square forms between CO2 emissions and economic growth.

Tunç, Merve Tuğçe; Koca, İlkay
Ohmic heating assisted hydrodistillation is a novel green technology for the extraction of essential oils. In this study, clove bud essential oils (CEO) were extracted by ohmic heating assisted hydrodistillation (OAHD) and compared with conventional hydrodistillation (HD) process, in terms of extraction yield, energy consumption and chemical properties. Ohmic heating assisted hydrodistillation process conditions were optimized by response surface methodology. Voltage gradient (7.5–12.5 V/cm, A), process time (30–120 minutes, B) and mass of clove bud (20–40 g, C) were varied in order to maximize CEO yield and to minimize energy consumption. Optimized extraction conditions were determined as, 12.5 V/cm voltage gradient, 97.967 min for process time and 40 g of mass of clove bud. Yield of CEO and energy consumption were found 13.18 ± 1.50% and 0.214 ± 0.030 kW h/g CEO at optimum extraction conditions, respectively. Under optimum conditions, both OAHD and HD methods were used for CEO extraction. Yields of CEO obtained by OAHD, HD-D (distilled water) and HD-S (salted water) were 13.18 ± 1.50, 8.23 ± 0.35 and 7.88 ± 0.60 respectively. Energy consumptions of OAHD and HD methods were not significantly different (P > 0.05). The main chemical component of CEO was eugenol and the yield of eugenol (g/100 g clove bud) was found higher with OAHD (6.95±0.6) method than HD-D (5.16 ± 0.20) and HD-S (5.13 ± 0.28). Antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of CEOs were investigated by FRAP, DPPH and disk diffusion method. Antioxidant properties of CEOs obtained by different extraction methods were not significantly different (P > 0.05) according to FRAP and DPPH analysis. Although inhibition zones of CEOs extracted with different methods were not significantly different (P > 0.05) for gram positive bacteria's, CEO obtained by OAHD and HD-D have significantly higher (P < 0.05) inhibition zones for K. pneumonia and E. coli, respectively. The results of this study showed that OAHD method is applicable for CEO production.

Topal, Fevzi
In this work, the inhibitory activity of Voriconazole was measured against some metabolic enzymes, including human carbonic anhydrase (hCA) I and II isoenzymes, acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and α-glycosidase; the results were compared with standard compounds including acetazolamide, tacrine, and acarbose. Half maximal inhibition concentration (IC50) values were obtained from the enzyme activity (%)-[Voriconazole] graphs, whereas Ki values were calculated from the Lineweaver-Burk graphs. According to the results, the IC50 value of Voriconazole was 40.77 nM for α-glycosidase, while the mean inhibition constant (Ki) value was 17.47 ± 1.51 nM for α-glycosidase. The results make an important contribution to drug design and have pharmacological applications. In addition, the Voriconazole compound demonstrated excellent inhibitory effects against AChE and hCA isoforms I and II. Voriconazole had Ki values of 29.13 ± 3.57 nM against hCA I, 15.92 ± 1.90 nM against hCA II, and 10.50 ± 2.46 nM against AChE.

Comert, Resul; Avdan, Ugur; Gorum, Tolga; Nefeslioglu, Hakan A.
The Black Sea Region of Turkey is one of the most landslide prone areas due to its high slope topography, heavy rainfall, and highly weathered hillslope material conditions. Preparation of landslide inventory maps is the first step in producing landslide susceptibility maps. Ground-based methods for mapping landslide occurrences are time-consuming and expensive. Additionally, landslide mapping based on satellite imageries and aerial photographs has some limitations, including climatic conditions, cost, and limited repetitive measurement capacity. Visual interpretation-based landslide mapping, which is based on satellite imageries and aerial photographs, is a time-consuming procedure that requires an experience-based expert opinion. Therefore, the data acquisition based on unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and landslide event inventory maps using an object-based classification approach can be superior to other methods in terms of speed and cost. In this study, we developed a semiautomatic model using object-based image analyses for rapid mapping of shallow landslides from the data obtained from UAVs after major landslide events in the Black Sea Region of Turkey. For this purpose, two test sites—Kurucasile (Bartin) and Cayeli (Rize)—were selected. Landslide mapping models were developed in the investigation sites, and the performance of the models was evaluated. The landslides' data obtained with the developed models were compared to the landslides' data produced by the experts. The comparison process revealed that landslides mapped by using UAV data have an accuracy rate higher than 86% according to the number of landslides and 83% according to the landslide area.

Altın, İsmail; Bilgin, Atilla; Sezer, İsmet
In this study, effects of equivalence ratio, spark timing and spark plug number and locations on combustion characteristics were theoretically investigated using an ethanol-fueled dual-plug SI engine. Two-zone quasi-dimensional model was used throughout analyses. Three spark plug configurations (diagonally, centrally and side located), three equivalence ratios (0.8, 0.9, and 1.0), and three spark timings (−30, −25, and −20 CA @ BTDC) were considered to analyze variation of total burn duration, mass fraction burned, cylinder pressure, and temperatures (exhaust and maximum burned gas). Variation of mass fraction burned and cylinder pressure were also investigated at lean mixture ratio and 2800 rpm (MBT engine speed). Lastly, the effect of engine speed on total burn duration, maximum cylinder pressure and aforementioned temperatures were investigated in the range of 1000–6000 rpm. The findings show that dual-plug configuration yields approximate combustion characteristics by comparison with centrally located single plug configuration in ethanol-fueled SI engine.

Diker, Ersin; Gencer, Zekiye Tamer
Social media tools which are popular today among young people, especially university students, provide individuals opportunities to create their own profiles and share music, videos and photos related with their interests. These social networks sometimes surpass traditional socialization spheres such as family, school, peer groups and society, and they also cause traditional media means (TV, radio, newspaper, etc.) to lose their effects. These media tools play an important role on the individuals to create their own identities in the socialization process. The identities of this new platform, its connections and the contents produced generate a new generation. Digital networks provide for this new generation an easy and convenient platform to communicate with their family, friends and the others. In addition, they provide maximum pleasure and gratification for these individual users by fulfilling their needs constantly and immediately. In the past, people used to use various mass communication tools like television, radio and movies as well as face-to-face human interaction in order to fulfill these needs and desires. Most of the time, these gratifications could not realize because of the reasons such as inaccessibility, responding, programming and timing. Social networks have become to be preferred as the use of social networks are different from the traditional mass communication tools and the individuals play an active role on sending messages to others. In this respect, individuals, thanks to not only mediative social contact but also accessing other media contents optionally and eagerly, are satisfied immediately with the….
- MakaleAçık Erişim2019Determination of the wear performance of diamond saw blades using inductively coupled plasma
Inal, Serkan; Erkan, Ilker; Aydiner, Kerim
Saw blades are one of the most used cutting tools. They compose the expensive parts of a cutting machine. Therefore, saw-blade wear is an important parameter governing the economy of the cutting process. Significant savings could be made when it is controlled effectively. In this study, a new methodology is employed for the determination of the saw-blade wear in the cutting of two types of marble. Wear of segments is determined by high-precision inductively coupled plasma method. Two types of marbles were used to investigate the wear performance of diamond-impregnated segments of circular saw-blade matrix. Taguchi mixed design L16 (43 21) is used as an experimental design and the results are evaluated statistically with Minitab. The results reveal that the specific wear rate (SWR) of Beige marble increases with the increase of the peripheral speed, traverse speed, depth of cut and down-cut mode operation. Additionally, it is demonstrated that the traverse speed and peripheral speed are the dominant cutting parameters affecting the SWR. It is also seen that similar trends are observed for Onyx marble (excluding peripheral speed). Finally, it is concluded that the proposed models can be effectively used for the estimation of the SWR.

Mete, Emrullah; Yildiz, Gizem Akbulut
Introduction Exports of high-tech products have gained considerable importance along with globalization and increasing competition in the world economy. Countries have become increasingly in need of exports of high-tech products in order to be competitive and to increase their market shares as well as to protect their current status in markets. In order to overcome the squeeze experienced in world trade, companies and countries increased their research and development expenses to innovate. This process, which manifests itself in producing the current product at a lower cost and/or creating a new product, changed the shares of countries in world trade and hence has become an important part of foreign trade. There is a significant number of studies in the empirical literature indicating that research and development expenses improve innovation which eventually lead to increase in the share of high-tech products in total exports of countries. Since the high-tech product means high value added product at the same time, the increase in exports of high-tech products will also facilitate the economic growth. Thus, it is also important nowadays that countries take the issue of the technology concentration into account and apply it in the scope of their export support programs. It should be taken into consideration by public authorities who design support policies for exporting that the aim of increasing export performance, competitiveness, and market share in foreign trade can be reached through exporting of high-tech products. This study investigates the impact of export….
- BildiriYalnız künye2019Module Level Global Maximum Power Point Tracking Strategy
Basoglu, Mustafa Engin
Partial shading of photovoltaic (PV) modules can occur at any time due to the obstacles such as chimney, tree, antenna, bird flock etc. Due to such obstacles, the entire surface of the PV module cannot receive an equal amount of irradiance; Therefore, PV modules cannot operate at its maximum power point (MPP). In this paper, an improved version of a 0.8VOC model based global maximum power point tracking (GMPPT) strategy has been proposed. Single ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) is used as a power converter between PV module and load. Effectiveness of the proposed technique is presented by experimental studies with the comparison of a full scanning approach. Results of experimental studies show that proposed GMPPT strategy outperforms than full scanning based algorithm known.
- MakaleYalnız künye2019Performance evaluation of ejector with different secondary flow directions and geometric properties for solid oxide fuel cell applications
Genc, Omer; Timurkutluk, Bora; Toros, Serkan
The mixing chamber length, secondary flow tube inclination angle, diffuser length and diverging angle as well as the direction of secondary flow on the ejector performance are numerically studied. The numerical results of 2560 different design points including the all combinations of the selected parameters indicate that the selected ejector geometric parameters have a great impact on the ejector performance. Within the parameter ranges considered, the best performance based on steam to carbon ratio and the entrainment is obtained from the ejector having a mixing chamber length of 30 mm, secondary flow tube inclination angle of 45°, diffuser length of 90 mm and diffuser diverging angle of 5°, regardless of the secondary flow direction. On the other hand, the parallel flow ejector, where the anode exhaust line flow direction is designed to be parallel to the primary flow direction, is found to exhibit slightly higher steam to carbon ratio and entrainment ratio compared to those of the counter flow ejector. Furthermore, it is seen that the parallel flow ejector can offer wider ranges of the ejector geometric parameters considered for a high performance whereas relatively rigid geometric parameters need to be selected for designing a counter flow ejector.

Unlike the earlier nonlinear optical studies of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) which were generally carried out as solvent, in this study, we established to deposit the unsoluble SWCNTs as homogeneous thin films by blending them with phthalocyanines in PMMA host. The structural and morphological features of the thin films were studied by SEM and TEM imaging techniques while the linear, nonlinear-absorptions and carrier dynamic properties of the thin films were investigated with the UV–Vis spectrophotometer, open aperture Z-scan experiments and pump-probe technique, respectively. In addition, the optical limiting performances of the samples were calculated from nonlinear absorption spectra. It was observed that the linear- and nonlinear-absorptions and optical limiting performance of the thin films increased with the mixing of the SWCNT sample with the Pcs complexes. We have clearly explained the mechanisms contributing to the nonlinear optical absorption and optical limiting performances.

Özad Düzgün, Azer; Okumuş, Funda; Saral, Ayşegül; Çopur Çiçek, Ayşegül; Cinemre, Sedanur
Introduction: Escherichia coli ranks among the most common sources of urinary tract infections (UTI). Methods: Between November 2015 and August 2016, 90 isolates of E. coli were isolated from patients at Rize Education and Research Hospital in Turkey. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined for all isolates using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. These E. coli isolates were also screened for virulence genes, β-lactamase coding genes, quinolone resistance genes, and class 1 integrons by PCR. Results: With respect to the antibiotic resistance profile, imipenem and meropenem were effective against 98% and 90% of isolates, respectively. A high percentage of the isolates showed resistance against β lactam/β lactamase inhibitor combinations, quinolones, and cephalosporins. PCR results revealed that 63% (57/90) of the strains carried class 1 integrons. In addition, a high predominance of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) was observed. The qnrA, qnrB, and qnrS genes were found in 24 (26.6%), 6 (6.6%), and 3 (3.3%), isolates, respectively. The most common virulence gene was fim (82.2%).The afa, hly, and cnf1 genes were detected in 16.6%, 16.6%, and 3.3% of isolates, respectively. Moreover, we observed eleven different virulence patterns in the 90 E. coli isolates. The most prevalent pattern was fim, while hly-fim, afa-aer-cnf-fim, aer-cnf, afa-aer, and afacnf- fim patterns were less common. Conclusions: Most of the E. coli virulence genes investigated in this study were observed in E. coli isolates from UTI patients. Virulence genes are very important for the establishment and maintenance of infection.

Sezer, İsmet
This study investigates addition of ethanol and diethyl ether into diesel fuel. Base fuel and three different blends were used in the tests. The experiments were performed at engine speed of 1500 rpm and under various loads by single cylinder diesel engine. Injection, combustion, performance and emissions parameters were evaluated for base fuel and blends. Results show that injection pressure decreases for all blends, and DEE addition causes delay in injection timing. Burnt mass fraction is lower for ethanol and DEE blends during early combustion phase, while it increases with DEE blends during progressive combustion phase. Ethanol and DEE blends also give reductions in cylinder pressure and temperature. Generally, air excess coefficients increase but exhaust gas temperature decreases when using ethanol and DEE blends. Although ethanol blend causes decrements in engine power and torque, DEE blends give closer values to diesel fuel. Both ethanol and DEE blends yield improvement in brake thermal efficiency and reduction in brake specific fuel consumption. When using fuel blends, generally, decrements in NOx and CO2 emissions and increments in HC emission occur, while CO emission shows fluctuations depending on engine load.
