Araz, Onur; Elias, Said; Kablan, Feyza
This paper presents a methodology for the optimization of double tuned mass dampers (TMDs) positioned on the top floor of a multi-story building subjected to ground motions considering soil-structure interaction (SSI). In the optimization process, it is considered that double TMDs are connected both in series and in parallel. STMD and PTMD are used to denote the series TMDs and parallel TMDs, respectively. The equations of motion for an n-story shear building controlled by STMD and PTMD are derived by considering the SSI effect and the optimum parameters of both devices are obtained by minimizing the amplitude of the displacement transfer function for the top floor of the building in the frequency domain analysis. The effectiveness of the PTMD and STMD designed using the Jaya algorithm (JA) is verified by numerical examples of a ten-story shear building under twelve earthquake records with different frequency content and the comparison with the traditional TMD is also performed. In order to investigate the effect of earthquake frequency content on the control performance of the TMDs, earthquakes considered are divided into three different groups as low, intermediate, and high-frequency contents. In addition, the influence of the soil stiffness on the optimum parameters and effectiveness of the PTMD and STMD is discussed. Numerical results show that the optimally designed PTMD and STMD effectively suppressed the maximum floor displacements and accelerations of the building. It is also shown that SSI effects can be ignored when the building is built on stiff soil. In addition, it is concluded that the SSI and earthquake frequency content have a significant effect on the control performance of TMDs and the seismic response of the building.

Sapancı, Özgür; Tokat, Gürkan; Eraslan, Nuh Kadri; Karakaya, Abdullah Onur; Gücer, Mehmet Ali; Çimen, Okay
The Guleman Ophiolite is located in the southeast of Turkey and mainly consists of harzburgites and dunites hosting economically viable chromitite bodies, and lesser amounts of cumulate and isotropic gabbro, diabase dykes, pyroxenite and locally plagiogranite. This study reports the combined whole-rock geochemical and radiogenic isotope (Sr and Nd) data for gabbro and diabase dykes, and in-situ zircon U-Pb geochronological data for plagiogranite and gabbro from the Guleman Ophiolite. Two different geochemical groups were determined based on immobile minor and trace elements, and radiogenic isotope characteristics of gabbro and diabase dykes investigated here. The first group is represented by boninites and displays highly depleted elemental patterns compared to NMORB, and spoon-shaped rare earth element profiles. Contrarily, the second group resembles back-arc basin basalts and is characterized by NMORB-like rare earth element patterns associated with negative Nb anomalies. The boninitic samples are characterized by less radiogenic 143Nd/144Nd(i) (0.51229 to 0.51267; ƐNd = −4.8 to +2.7) and more radiogenic 87Sr/86Sr(i) (0.70549 to 0.70758) isotope compositions compared to the back-arc basin basalt-like samples (143Nd/144Nd(i) = 0.51289 to 0.51296; ƐNd = +7.0 to +8.4; 87Sr/86Sr(i) = 0.70496 to 0.70629), indicating derivation from distinct and/or heterogeneous mantle source regions within a supra-subduction zone. The LA–ICP–MS zircon U-Pb analyses yielded concordant late Cretaceous ages for gabbro (82 ± 2.9 Ma) and plagiogranite (79.9 ± 0.8 Ma) samples. The overall geochemical, isotopic and geochronological data presented here suggest that the Guleman Ophiolite consists of forearc and initial back-arc spreading sections of oceanic crust, which may have been formed in an intra-oceanic subduction zone within the Berit Ocean (northern branch of the southern Neo-Tethyan ocean). Moreover, the generation of continental arc magmatism (i.e. Baskil and Esence Granitoids) was well-documented on the active margin of the Malatya-Keban Metamorphics to the north. Therefore the closure of this oceanic basin should have resulted in multiple coeval northward subduction events during the late Cretaceous.

Yaprak, Busranur; Gedikli, Eyup
Gait recognition aims to identify people from a distance by analyzing their walking style. Nevertheless, the efficacy of recognition drops significantly under cross-view and, appearance-based variations such as carrying and clothing. In this study, the performance of the MobileNet-V1 deep network is evaluated in various scenarios to address the cross-view gait recognition problem. In the first scenario, the fine-tuned MobileNet-V1 is evaluated on Gait Energy Images (GEI) as input data, while in the second scenario, the fine-tuned MobileNet-V1 is assessed with Optical Flows and masked RGB frames input data. In the last scenario, the first two scenarios are combined over a single fused deep network based on finetuned MobileNet-V1, and a single recognition process is performed using two different fused features data; GEI features with Optical Flow features, and GEI features with masked RGB frame features. In the evaluation process, a comprehensive data set for the cross-view gait recognition problem, CASIA-B is used for the experiments. The obtained results demonstrate that in the last scenario, the contribution of masked RGB frame features to the recognition rate of GEI is more significant.

Kayln, Sercan; Işseven, Turgay
One of the major challenges facing geochemistry, petrology, and volcanology researchers is the difficulty in determining the origin and paleo-flow directions of igneous and volcanic rocks. It is not possible to clearly determine origins and paleo-flow directions in areas with numerous volcanic centers. Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) is a valuable method that provides insights into the origins and paleo-flow directions of lavas that are complex to study. The presence of volcanic materials with thicknesses up to 1 km, coming from different sources at varied time intervals in the north of Lake Van, makes this area an ideal setting for implementing AMS in establishing paleo-flow directions. This study presents the magnetic mineralogy and AMS analysis of volcanic rocks from the Miocene to the Quaternary in the Lake Van region. We conducted isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) and high-temperature susceptibility (HTS) studies to determine the magnetic mineralogy. IRM studies revealed that (titano)magnetite is responsible for the magnetization in most samples, while both (titano)magnetite and hematite are responsible for the rest. Alteration degrees and Curie temperatures of the rock samples were also determined through HTS measurements. There is good agreement between the anticipated directions of lava flow and our findings for nearly all volcanic rocks.

In this study, we first define the Smarandache curves derived from the Frenet vectors and the Darboux vector of any curve. Then, we construct new ruled surfaces along these Smarandache curves with the direction vectors obtained from the Frenet vectors and the Darboux vector, and give the equations of these surfaces. In addition, we calculate the Gaussian and mean curvatures of these surfaces separately and present the conditions to be minimal and developable for these surfaces. Finally, as an example, we obtain ruled surfaces whose base curves are Viviani’s curves and plot the graphics of these surfaces.

AtıfScopus1OpenAlex1İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2022Scopus SJRQ2Investigation of gamma ray absorption levels of composites produced from copper mine tailings, fly ash, and brick dust
Külekçi, Gökhan
To date, heavyweight concretes have been produced from various heavy aggregates as radiation insulation materials, and their gamma ray absorption levels have been investigated. Many of the studies have used heavy aggregates instead of cement or coarse aggregates from composite material components. The present study prepared lightweight concretes using copper mine tailings, clay brick dust, and fly ash instead of fine aggregates. Some mechanical tests (density, compressive strength, and ultrasonic pulse velocity) were performed on composite blocks with dimensions of 5*5*5 cm, and radiation interaction parameters [linear absorption coefficient (cm−1), mass attenuation coefficient (cm2/gr), HVL (half-value layer) (cm), MFP (cm), and permeability (%)] were measured. Radiation interaction parameters were obtained using a HPGe gamma detector. Radiation measurements were performed at five different photon energies: 583 keV (133Ba), 609 keV (133Ba), 662 keV (137Cs), 911 keV (133Ba), 1173 keV (60Co), and 1332 keV (60Co). Additionally, the compressive strength and UPV values of composite materials were associated with their gamma ray permeability. Tests revealed that samples with the addition of copper mine tailings yielded the best energy absorption at all energy levels and that absorption decreased as the energy level increased. For example, with the increasing of the energy level, mass attenuation coefficients decreased. The highest mass attenuation coefficients were obtained as 0.128 cm2/g at an energy level of 583 keV in composites produced from copper mine tailings. On the other hand, it was measured at the same energy level as 0.069 cm2/g (a 46% decrease) in the composites produced with fly ash. In addition, it was observed that fly ash used as a fine aggregate did not have a significant effect on mass attenuation coefficient and could be used as a gamma shield if the material thickness was increased to an average of 14 cm. This study revealed that tailings materials could be used as radiation shields. This study also demonstrated that not using heavy aggregates and producing lightweight concrete in radiation shield production significantly reduced shield production cost.

Kıranşan, Murat
Abstract: As a result of the rapid development of industry and technology, a great increase has been observed in the use of chemicals and toxic substances harmful to the environment, especially in the last 20 yr. The harmful effects of industrial wastewater, which are formed as a result of the use of chemical and toxic substances as raw substances and by products in many technology branches, adversely affect the environment. Traditional treatment methods are quite inadequate in the treatment of industrial wastewater. Water pollution is one of the most important environmental problems of today. Since water is the most basic need of living things and the source of great economic activities, it is an indispensable resource for the continuation of living and non-living life. Acid dyes, one or more in the molecule contain a sulfonic acid group or a carboxylic acid group. Acid dyes are chemically classified as anionic dyes. Direct metal-complex and reactive dyestuffs containing sulfonic acid groups are also anionic. Basic dyes are in the form of hydrochlorides of organic bases and are found in the colored part of the cationic group dye. Basic dyes, contain N or S atoms as positive charge carriers. Different chemical, physical and biological processes such as chlorination, ozonation, adsorption and microfiltration are widely used in cleaning the environments where industrial wastes are present. However, in all of these methods organic substance can be removal by transferring it from one phase to another. However, due to increasing environmental pollution, the treatment process has changed to develop new methods that can decompose organic substances into CO2 and H2O instead of transferring them from one phase to another. Hybrid systems in which different oxidation processes are applied simultaneously in the same electrochemical cell, are widely used today in order to increase the efficiency of the electrochemical methods.

Muslu, Ayşe; Üçüncü, Osman; Baltacı, Cemalettin
The compound 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) has emerged as a versatile intermediate with the ability to undergo conversion into both fuel and a variety of platform chemicals. Lignocellulosic biomass, such as hazelnut shells and tea processing residues, was employed in this study for HMF production through two distinct methods. In the first method, cellulose from biomass was converted to sugars using a 4% acid solution, followed by catalytic conversion with NaCl/CrCl3.6H2O. After a 1-h reaction at 131 °C in a high-pressure system, HMF was obtained from tea processing waste and hazelnut shells with yields of 8.6% (82.3 mg/g) and 6.7% (66.7 mg/g), respectively. The second method involved LiCl/NaCl-doped N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) as an ionic solvent system for HMF production. After a 2-h reaction at 131 °C in the DMA-NaCl/[EMIM]Cl ionic solvent system, HMF was obtained from tea processing waste and hazelnut shell celluloses with yields of 5.7% (57.5 mg/g) and 3.1% (31.3 mg/g), respectively. This study contributes to the economic conversion of various food wastes into valuable chemicals, highlighting the potential of lignocellulosic biomass in sustainable chemical production.

Sevim, Zeynep; Dogan, Hulya; Demir, Zeynep; Sezen, Feride Sena; Dogan, Ramazan Ozgur
In cell culture investigations, it is assumed that the number of cells is counted automatically without the need for forward planning, additional tools, or consumables. The automatic cell counting process is greatly facilitated and made functional by the segmentation of cell culture lines. Many studies with high-accuracy results have been developed for cell or tissue segmentation in images acquired from microscopic systems, but this success cannot be achieved for segmentation of cell culture line (especially in images acquired from inverted microscope). There are still restrictions in segmentation of cell culture line studies in inverted microscope systems. In this context, a new inverted microscope image data set is created and higher accuracy auto-encoder models are developed for segmentation of HaCat cell culture line. The analyzes of the developed auto-encoder models are evaluated using four different performance evaluation procedures which are Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity and Jaccard. In terms of the performance evaluation procedures used in this study, the achievements of the auto-encoder models are clearly satisfactory for the automated segmentation of the HaCat cell culture line.

Altundaş, Suna
The in-situ gamma-ray spectrometry measurements are performed to define and map natural radionuclide variations and the possible uranium migration on the sandstone in the Central Anatolia Region and Deliler sites in Yozgat, Turkey. The concentrations of radionuclide (eU, eTh, K%) and dose rate values were measured totally on 384 points in both areas with a duration of 5 min at each measurement point. The radionuclide ratios (eTh/K, eU/K, and eU/eTh), geochemical indicators (Ume, F parameter and eU-(eTh/3,5) rate) of uranium remobilization in the rocks, and the hazard parameters were calculated and evaluated by using measured data. The separation of uranium-rich or poor areas was made easily and associated with lithological formations by evaluating all the maps produced together. While the highest concentrations of radionuclide, and dose rate values were recorded in the sandstone units under the cover layer that are Eocene neritic limestones, the lowest concentration values and dose rate were measured on siltstone and claystone in the northern part of the Tuğlu Tepe area. At the Deliler study area, the lower anomaly zones are coincide with the soils used for the cultivation of chickpeas consists of loosely cemented sandy clay siltstone, claystone, gravel, sand, silt, and clay whereas the highest concentrations observed in the outcropped sandstone and limestones. It can be seen that the study areas have variable radioactivity levels as a result of both the weathering from the surrounding granitic rocks and the transport and accumulation of sediments through different factors. On sandstones serving as reservoir rock for uranium mineralization in both Tuğlu Tepe and Deliler sites, there is a uranium migration from the granitic rocks towards these masses and sandstones have been enriched by uranium. As a result of the evaluations, it has been seen that the areas showing uranium enrichment originated from migration can be determined very easily by radioactivity measurements, which is a fast, economical and effective method.

Gender role attitudes show people's attitudes about appropriate role activities for women and men. Many family-related factors, including parents' beliefs and behavior, can affect how people view gender roles. Nurses as health care providers can play a role in helping to form health values and behaviors at different levels. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the attitude toward gender roles of parents and the quality of parent-child relationships in working female nurses. This study was correlational descriptive research that was conducted on 135 female nurses working in selected hospitals. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 23. The average age of the participants was 32.62 years, the average score of attitude towards gender roles in nurses was 170.47, and it was reported in the range of 139 to 185. The mean attitude score in the dimension of the femininity role was equal to 64.06, in the dimension of the masculinity role was equal to 54.78, and in the social desirability dimension was equal to 51.64. The average score of the parent-child relationship was 142.19. The results showed a direct and significant relationship between the score of attitude towards gender roles and parent-child relationships in female nurses (P < 0.05, R = 0.187). The results of this study can be used in various areas of education and awareness of parents and school parents to influence the quality of relationships, values, and attitudes of children and parents and to change the public opinion of society about the positive role of women and men in building society.

Ormeni, Rrapo; Hasimi, Albana; Öztürk, Serkan; Çomo, Ervin
In this study, the correlations between the heat flow density and seismotectonic b-value in the El-basani area of Albania were investigated to understand the how low-velocity layers underneath the Elbasani area in central Albania struggling the large-scale Vlora-Lushnja-Elbasani-Dibra Fault Zone affect the heat flow data. For this purpose, the heat flow and regional distribution of b-value were imaged for different locations and depths. To achieve the analysis, the Albanian Seismological Catalogue for the period between 1 July 1968 and 26 December 2022, including 1830 earthquakes with a local magnitude of 0.5 ≤ Ml ≤ 5.2 that occurred at the depths below 70 kilometres, was considered. The b-value was calculated as 1.03 ± 0.06 by considering the magnitude of the completeness value as Mc-value = 2.6. This result shows that the b-value of earthquake distribution in the Vlora-Lushnja-Elbasani-Dibra (VLED) fault zone is well represented by the Gutenberg and Richter (G-R) scaling law with the b-value close to 1.0. The regional variations of the b-value show that b-values smaller than 0.9 were observed in the western and south-western parts of the Llinxha-Kozan thermal water belt. The depth distribution of the b-value indicates that there exists a sharp decrease in the b-values from 1.15 to 0.7 in the depths varying from 5 to 20 km. The highest heat flow values were observed on the Dumrea diapiric dome and in the central part of the Elbasani area. Thus, our analysis indicates significant and robust correlations between the geothermal and earthquake distribution. The discontinuity of Moho interface is deep in the regions where high b-values were observed. Low b-values are found at the depths ranging from 20–25 km and 35–40 km in the Dumrea evaporite massif area. We have evidence that high b-values and large heat flow values are related to the low seismic velocity layers underneath the Elbasani area. The low-velocity zone (LVZ) in Albania occurs in the Earth’s crust and in the upper mantle. It is characterized by an unusu-ally low seismic shear wave velocity compared to the surrounding depth intervals. It is well known that the low-velocity layers in the Elbasani area are determined in the upper crust, at shallow depths of 2–4 km, and in the middle crust at a 10–14 km depth. Hence, it is suggested that the Moho interface in the eastern part of the Elbasani area is relatively deep (45 km) compared to the western part of Albania (35 km), and the magnitude of earthquakes is smaller where the high heat flow values were observed.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the practices and coping experiences of the relatives of patients with pressure injuries (PIs). METHODS: The authors used a qualitative, phenomenologic research design. They interviewed 20 relatives of patients with PIs face-to-face using an in-depth semistructured interview form. The data were analyzed using the Colaizzi phenomenologic method. RESULTS: Three categories, 8 main themes, and 22 subthemes emerged from the interviews. The category of “the impact of the need for care on the lives of the patient’s relatives” was analyzed according to psychological, social, and physical effects. In the category of “practices to prevent pressure injuries,” two themes emerged: practices toward the patient and the environment. Relatives of individuals with PIs have psychological, physical, and social needs. CONCLUSIONS: Providing care to a patient with PIs has psychological, social, and physical effects on the patient’s relatives. The care burden mostly affects these caregivers negatively, and they mainly need time for themselves and moral and companion support.

In this study, a dried fruit roll up (pestil) was produced by using different concentrations of wheat, corn and potato flours. Simplex lattice mixture design technique was performed to determine the best flour mixture levels. The highest Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was observed in the 13th sample with 6.60 mg/kg; and the lowest was in the 4th sample with 1.42 mg/kg. It was observed that the total phenolic content of the samples varied between 783.0 and 2154.8 mg GAE/kg and this variation was significant (p < 0.05). Significant increases in the antioxidant activities (total antioxidant and DPPH) of the samples were also determined in the pestil samples. Generally, sensory properties of the pestil samples significantly decreased by the increase of potato flour in the mixture and corn and wheat flours exhibited similar sensory properties. The optimum flour mixture was determined according to the sensory analyses, and it was determined that the best pestil formulation can be produced by incorporating 4.69 g wheat flour and 7.39 g corn flour per 100 g.

Sahin, Demet Demir; Cavusoglu, Ibrahim; Yilmaz, Ali Osman
Today, energy produced from coal is economical compared to other sources but it faces a very serious waste problem. However, these wastes are evaluated by using them as mineral additives in cement, which leads to lower cement costs, saving resources, producing environmentally friendly cement, reducing CO2 gas, and producing high-strength cement. In this work, the pozzolanic properties of different types of fly ash (Afşin Elbistan C type and Çayırhan F type) are investigated. The fly ashes used in the study are first subjected to the milling process (10, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes), and then the 28 and 90-day pozzolanic activity index tests of the milled and unmilled ashes are performed. The results obtained show that the 28-day pozzolanic activity value of the ashes subjected to 20-, 30-, 45-, and 60-minute milling times are higher than the value specified in the standard, compared to the unmilled and 10 min milled fly ash. In addition, for all fly ash samples, the 90-day pozzolanic activity index results show that while the pozzolanic activity index value of Çayırhan (ÇYH) fly ash is higher than the standard value, that of Afşin Elbistan (AE) fly ash is lower than standard. The outcomes of the present study show that the mechanical properties of the fly ash are generated by the burning of coal increase after milling process, and thus can be used as a mineral additive. With the effect of grinding, both fly ash increase the pozzolanic activity. The results are determined with the experimental results obtained.
