Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1FBG-Based Temperature and Fire Sensors for Use in Industrial Microwave Ovens(SPIE, 2025) Yuksel, K.; Merdin, O. D.; Kinet, D.; Merdin, M.; Guyot, C.; Caucheteur, C.Industrial microwave-heating systems play a crucial role in sectors such as food processing and materials manufacturing, where precise temperature control and safety are paramount. However, traditional systems often face challenges like uneven heat distribution and elevated fire risks due to the inherent characteristics of microwave heating. This study introduces a fiber-optic sensor-based monitoring system designed to address these critical issues. The system features an advanced fiber-optic sensor capable of 2D temperature distribution monitoring and a specialized fire detection mechanism, both aimed at significantly reducing risks and improving the heating process. Experimental results demonstrate the potential for transformative advancements in industrial heating technologies, paving the way for enhanced process efficiency and safety.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Strain Rate and Temperature Dependent Tensile Failure of a Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyamide Thermoplastic Composite(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2024) Mustafa, G.; Yiğit, G.; Servet, Y.; Özkan, D.; Namazov, S.The tensile behavior of an injection mold glass fiber reinforced polyamide matrix composite was determined between 10-6-10-1 s-1 strain rates at 25, 65 and 90oC for the loading axis 0o, 30o and 90o to the fiber plane. Microscopic studies were conducted to identify typical fracture mechanism involved at different temperatures. The composite exhibited the highest flow stress and elastic moduli sensitivities on the strain rate in the 0o specimens, followed by the 30o and 90o specimens. The highest rate sensitivity was detected in the specimens tested at 25oC and the rate sensitivity declined as the test temperature increased from 25oC to 65 and 90oC. The observed rate sensitivity of the composite was ascribed to the rate sensitivity of the matrix while the elevated temperatures enhanced the fiber-matrix bonding. © 2024 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 18In-Depth Exploration of Temperature Trends in Morocco: Combining Traditional Methods of Mann Kendall With Innovative Ita and Ipta Approaches(Springer Basel Ag, 2024) Qadem, Zohair; Tayfur, GökmenThis study examines trends in minimum and maximum temperatures at various climate stations located in different regions of Morocco for a period of five decades (1970 to 2019). Mann-Kendall, Sen's estimator, Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA) and Innovative Polygon Trend Analysis (IPTA) were used in the analysis. The results show significant fluctuations, at different time scales, between minimum and maximum temperatures at all stations. In coastal areas, such as Rabat Sale, minimum temperatures fell during January and February while other months saw increases. Average minimum temperatures in Rabat Sale tend to fall by 0.5 degree celsius. On the other hand, maximum temperatures in Rabat Sale rose by 0.2 degrees C. A decrease of 0.4 degree celsius for T-min and 1.6 degree celsius for T-max were observed in higher continental regions, such as Meknes. Other stations, such as Fez Sais (0.6 degree celsius T-min and 2.6 degree celsius T-max) and Taza (1.1 degree celsius T-min and 2.6 degree celsius T-max) showed an upward trend. Trends also vary, with notable increases in minimum and maximum temperatures, indicating different climatic dynamics according to altitude and locality. In particular, the ITA highlights a significant increase in annual maximum temperatures, with a P-value < 0.05 and trend slopes ranging from 0.0015 degree celsius per year in Rabat Sale to 0.0076 degree celsius per year in Taza. In addition, the IPTA results confirm diversity of upward and downward trends on monthly and seasonal scales, highlighting impact of geographical factors such as proximity to sea, topography, and continentality that contribute to formation of regional microclimates. The results highlight significant impact of climate change in Morocco.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 5Meteorological Drought and Trend Effects on Transboundary River Basins in Afghanistan(Springer, 2023) Hayat, Ehsanullah; Tayfur, GökmenAfghanistan, as a landlocked country located within central and southwestern Asia, has an arid to semi-arid climate. Most of the people are involved in agricultural activities, and a major part of the country's gross domestic product depends on agriculture, but the country has the lowest water storage capacity. Consecutive periods of drought and rapid snowmelt due to climate change have made it more challenging for suitable water resource management practices. This study investigates the historical meteorological drought characteristics across the whole country by employing the Reconnaissance Drought Index for the period 1979-2019 using data from 55 meteorological stations. Trends in precipitation and temperature are also investigated using the Mann-Kendall's and the Sen's slope statistical tests. A four-decadal countrywide drought map is generated. Extreme and severe droughts were observed in 1999 and 2000 across the whole country. Moderate drought events have started to occur with a frequency of 3 to 5 years since 1999. The decadal annual rainfall values in each river basin indicate that rainfall has decreased in the last two decades with a significant decline in 1999-2008. The trends of increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation are indications of rapid climate change in the country, especially in the south, west, and southwest regions. Due to the intensity and frequency of the droughts, river flow rates have decreased; and therefore, there is a need for the upstream and downstream neighboring countries to come to terms with the phenomenon of a new normal in the hydrological cycle and accordingly revise new water sharing treaties.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Subwavelength Thickness Characterization of Curved Dielectric Films Exploiting Spatially Structured Entangled Photons(Optica Publishing Group, 2023) Ataç, Enes; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihPrecise determination of thin dielectric film optical properties is a critical issue for fiber optic sensor technologies. However, conventional methods for the optical characterization of these films not only are generally complex and tedious processes on curved surfaces but also require well-calibrated and overly sophisticated devices. We, on the other hand, propose a novel and practical quantum-based phase diffraction scheme to characterize the thickness of ultra-thin transparent dielectric films coated on an optical fiber beyond the classical diffraction limits in this paper. The approach is implemented by evaluating the effect of thickness variations on the highly visible two-photon diffraction pattern's zero crossings and amplitudes. The mathematical model and numerical simulations con-tribute to a better understanding of how the spatially structured entangled photons improve thickness precision with the help of intensity correlations and a confocal aperture. To prove the impact of the proposed system, it is compared with the classical phase diffraction method in the literature via simulations. According to the results, the thickness of the transparent dielectric films can be accurately estimated below one-twentieth of the wavelength of interest. & COPY; 2023 Optica Publishing GroupArticle Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Effect of Oxidation on Mechanical Properties of Copper Nanowire: a Reaxff (reactive Force Field) Molecular Dynamics Study(Aip Publishing, 2023) Aral, Gürcan; Islam, Md MahbubulNanostructures with high surface area to volume ratio, such as oxidized and coated Cu nanowires (NWs), exhibit unique mechanical properties due to their size and surface effects. Understanding the complex oxidation process of Cu NWs at nanoscale and quantifying its resulting effects on mechanical behavior and properties are significantly essential for effective usage of Cu NW devices in a wide range of applications in nanoelectronics. Here, we perform molecular dynamics simulations using ReaxFF (reactive force field) to investigate the oxidation process and mechanisms of [001]-oriented cylindrical Cu NWs and its contribution on the mechanical deformation behavior and material properties as a function of NW sizes. The relatively thin oxide CuxOy layer is formed on the surface of Cu NWs in an O-2 environment, creating a core/shell (Cu/CuxOy) NW structure that played a key role in governing the overall tensile mechanical deformation behavior and properties of Cu NW. The formation of oxide layer effects, including the resulting interface and defects, leads to a reduction in the initial dislocation nucleation barrier, which facilitates the onset of plasticity and stress relaxation, ultimately resulting in a negative impact on the tensile strength, Young's modulus, yield stress and strain, and flow stress when compared to pristine counterparts. It is worth noting that the tensile mechanical response and properties of the Cu NWs are highly dependent on the pre-existing oxide shell layer associated with the size of NW, determining the overall mechanical performance and properties of Cu NWs.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 38Historical Trends Associated With Annual Temperature and Precipitation in Aegean Turkey, Where Are We Heading?(MDPI, 2022) Mersin, Demirhan; Tayfur, Gökmen; Vaheddoost, Babak; Safari, Mir Jafar SadeghThe trend analysis of annual temperature (daily average) and total precipitation has been conducted for 14 stations located in the Aegean Region, Turkey. The Sen, Spearman’s rho, and Mann-Kendall test methods are used in the detection of the historical trends in the region. The Pettitt test is also implemented to find the significance of the trend, while the Theil-Sen approach is applied to detect the change point(s) in the time series. Findings of the following study indicate that both precipitation and temperature time series in the selected stations depict statistically significant trends with increasing nature. The rate of increase in precipitation and temperature by the Theil-Sen test is found to be 4.2–7.9 mm/year and 0.20–0.35 °C/decade, respectively. It is also found that the turn points of the temperature trends determined by the Pettitt test occurred in 1998 for all the stations. According to the results, the magnitude of the extreme events would change in the future, which may help in conceptualizing the framework and the resilience of the infrastructures against climate change.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 37Trend Analysis of Temperature and Precipitation in Trarza Region of Mauritania(IWA Publishing, 2019) Yacoub, Ely; Tayfur, GökmenTrend analysis of annual temperature and precipitation time series data collected from three stations (Boutilimit (station 1), Nouakchott (station 2) and Rosso (station 3)) has been used to detect the impacts of climate change on water resources in Trarza region, Mauritania. The Mann-Kendall, the Spearman's rho, and the Sen trend test were used for the trend identification. Pettitt's test was used to detect the change point of the series while the Theil-Sen approach was used to estimate the magnitude of the slope in the series. For precipitation, two stations (1 and 3) indicated statistically significant increase in trends. In the case of temperature, almost all the stations show statistically significant increasing trends in the maximum, minimum, and average temperatures. The magnitude of precipitation detected by the Theil-Sen test for stations 1 and 3, respectively, was found to be at the rate of 2.93 and 3.35 mm/year at 5% significance level. The magnitude trend of temperature detected by the Theil-Sen approach was found to be at the rate of 0.2-0.4 degrees C per decade for almost all the stations. The change points of temperature trends detected by Pettitt test are found to be in the same year (1995) for all the stations.Article Effect of Temperature on Stability of Lipid Microbubbles(Turkish Chemical Society, 2019) Kılıç, SevgiThe effect of temperature on stability of lipid microbubble shell containing polyethyleneoxide-40-stearate (PEG40St) as emulsifier was investigated. Microbubbles at 4 °C were subjected to different temperatures up to 48 ºC (down-to-up) and it was found that both the number and the size of microbubbles remained unchanged in the population up to a certain time, so called “onset time”. The onset time was about 6 hours at 10 °C, 2 hours at 20 °C and shorter at elevated temperatures, exhibiting an exponential decrease with increasing temperature. Once the onset time was reached, the number of microbubbles started to decrease and the average size of the population started to increase. Observation of single microbubbles on a constant temperature heating stage exhibited that each microbubble had its own onset time, with the smaller microbubbles vanishing earlier than the larger ones. The Langmuir monolayer studies showed that hydration degree of the emulsifier PEG chains decreased with temperature, causing them go through conformational changes and subsequently destabilization of the shell. By subjecting the freshly produced microbubbles directly to the desired temperatures in up-to-down fashion, more stable microbubbles were able to be produced, with their onset time increased 40% at 10 °C to 500% at 38 °C. Overall, the results suggest that the new strategies need to be developed to control the collapse process in the microbubble shell resulting from the conformational changes in the PEG chains of the emulsifier for the design of more stable microbubbles. © 2019, Turkish Chemical Society.
