Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Optimized Lithium(I) Recovery From Geothermal Brine of Germencik, Türkiye, Utilizing an Aminomethyl Phosphonic Acid Chelating Resin(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Recepoğlu, Y.K.This study investigates the performance of Lewatit TP 260 ion exchange resin for the efficient recovery of lithium (Li(I)) from geothermal water sourced from the Germencik Geothermal Power Plant in Türkiye. A series of batch sorption experiments were performed to evaluate the influence of key parameters, including resin dosage, solution pH, temperature, initial Li(I) concentration, and contact time, on the Li(I) recovery process. The optimal conditions were determined to be a resin dose of 0.5 g per 25 mL of geothermal water, pH in the range of 6–8, and a temperature of 25°C. Under these conditions, the resin achieved a maximum Li(I) recovery rate of 71% from the geothermal water. Sorption isotherms were further analyzed using the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin-Radushkevich (D-R) models. Among these, the Langmuir model provided the best fit (R² = 0.9841), suggesting a maximum sorption capacity (qm) of 4.31 mg/g. Continuous recovery experiments conducted in column mode confirmed the practical applicability of Lewatit TP 260, achieving a total sorption capacity of 0.41 mg Li(I)/mL resin. The findings exhibit the potential of this resin as a viable sorbent for sustainable Li(I) extraction from geothermal brines, supporting the development of green energy technologies and contributing to the circular economy. © 2024 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Article Citation - Scopus: 11Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Cypriot Propolis(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Nalbantsoy, A.; Sarıkahya, N.B.; Özverel, C.S.; Barlas, A.B.; Kırcı, D.; Akgün, İ.H.; Yalçın, Tansel; Düven, GamzePropolis compositions are highly variable, depending on the geographic region and the season of collection. In this study, propolis samples from seven different regions of Cyprus were studied for the first time by means of chemical content and biological activities. Secondary metabolite composition was determined by LC-HRMS. While the major flavonoids found were isosakuranetin, naringenin, rhamnocitrin, diosmetin, chrysin and acacetin, interestingly verbascoside, a phenylethanoid glycoside, and chlorogenic acid were identified as the major compounds in the ethanol-water extracts. α-Pinene was detected as the major compound of propolis extracts according to the volatile compositions via GC-MS. Karaoglanoglu and Tirmen extracts, presenting different chemical profiles, exerted enormous cytotoxic activity by MTT assay (IC50: 2.36–11.56 µg/mL; 1.44–9.33 µg/mL, respectively). The highest iNOS inhibition potential was detected in the Karpaz extract (IC50:2.6 µg/mL) in LPS induced RAW 264.7 cells whereas the Guzelyurt sample demonstrated remarkable antioxidant (88.82 ± 0.10%) and antimicrobial activities (with a MIC value of 31.2 μg/mL against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, E. faecium, and E. faecalis). © 2021 International Bee Research Association.Article Effects of Span 60 Template and Freeze Drying on Zinc Borate Produced From Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate and Borax Decahydrate(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Alp, Burcu; Gönen, Mehmet; Atakul Savrık, Sevdiye; Balköse, DevrimZinc borate is an important additive to polymers and lubricants. The process variables such as reactant concentration, presence of template in precipitating medium and drying method determine the composition and particle size of zinc borates. In the present study, zinc borate precipitate obtained by mixing aqueous zinc nitrate and borax decahydrate solutions was dried either by conventional method or by freeze drying. The products were well characterized by advanced methods. Zinc borate from 1 mol dm(-3) reactants had (2.1 +/- 0.5)x(2.5 +/- 0.5)x(1.3 +/- 0.2) mu m and (0.5 +/- 0.1)x(1.3 +/- 0.1)x(0.028 +/- 0.01) mu m dimensions by conventional and freeze drying respectively. Individual particles smaller in size is obtained since the particles are not agglomerated due to absence of surface tension of liquid water for case of freeze drying. Planar particles agglomerated into 20 to 60 mu m crystals in the presence of template Span 60 in 1 mol dm(-3) reactants for conventional drying. Nano zinc borate particles with primary particle size of (46 +/- 9) nm were obtained by decreasing the reactant concentration to 0.1 mol dm(-3). The primary particle size was decreased to (40 +/- 3) nm by addition of Span 60 to dilute solutions. However zinc borate nanoparticles obtained from dilute solutions adhered to each other forming agglomerates during conventional drying. Their freeze drying would allow formation of a freely flowing nano powder.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2A New Fluorescent 'turn On' Probe for Rapid Detection of Biothiols(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Üçüncü, Muhammed; Zeybek, Hüseyin; Karakuş, Erman; Üçüncü, Canan; Emrullahoğlu, MustafaWe designed and synthesised a novel molecular probe exhibiting high selectivity and sensitivity towards reactive sulphur species (RSS) over other amino acids and biologically relevant species, as well as scrutinised its spectroscopic behaviours under physiological conditions and in living milieu. We used an electrophilic cyanate group as a masking agent to block the excited state intramolecular proton transfer process of 2-(2-cyanato-3-methoxyphenyl)benzo[d]thiazole (HMBT-OCN), which readily hydrolyses to the highly fluorescent structure, 2-(2'-Hydroxy-3'-methoxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HMBT-OH), in the presence of reactive sulphur species.

Cevher Pasa Bath, which is located in Tabae archaeological site in Denizli, Turkey and dated to the 15th century, presents structural problems. The aim of the study is to propose a framework for planning consolidation of the ruins of Cevher Pasa Bath so that conservation work regarding similar masonry ruins in archaeological sites can be guided. Thus, methods of architectural restoration and civil engineering are combined in an interdisciplinary scope. Provision of temporary shoring as an emergency intervention, consolidation and presentation of the ruin within the scope of an interdisciplinary restoration project, and monitoring of the asset within the frame of a monument management plan are suggested, respectively. Structural analysis considering stress and overturning moment checks are performed. Consolidation work includes only supporting of arch remains. Some walls of the ruin are weaker than other parts. These parts need further detailed analysis, and if necessary, further consolidation and strengthening are to be carried out. The monument management plan points out the necessity of collaboration of local and central administrations, and also non-governmental organisations.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5On simple-direct modules(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021) Büyükaşık, Engin; Demir, Özlem; Diril, MügeRecently, in a series of papers “simple” versions of direct-injective and direct-projective modules have been investigated. These modules are termed as “simple-direct-injective” and “simple-direct-projective,” respectively. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of the aforementioned modules over the ring of integers and over semilocal rings. The ring is semilocal if and only if every right module with zero Jacobson radical is simple-direct-projective. The rings whose simple-direct-injective right modules are simple-direct-projective are fully characterized. These are exactly the left perfect right H-rings. The rings whose simple-direct-projective right modules are simple-direct-injective are right max-rings. For a commutative Noetherian ring, we prove that simple-direct-projective modules are simple-direct-injective if and only if simple-direct-injective modules are simple-direct-projective if and only if the ring is Artinian. Various closure properties and some classes of modules that are simple-direct-injective (resp. projective) are given. © 2020 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.Article Citation - Scopus: 21Determination of Superoxide Dismutase Activities in Different Cyanobacteria for Scavenging of Reactive Oxygen Species(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015) Güneş, Seda; Tamburacı, Sedef; İmamoğlu, Esra; Dalay, Meltem ConkThere is considerable interest in cyanobacteria as sources of antioxidant pigments, antiinflammatory substances, enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and vitamins. Antioxidant enzymes have significant role in the removal of reactive oxygen species produced during visible and ultraviolet irradiance stress in cyanobacteria. One of the most ubiquitous protective enzyme is superoxide dismutase (SOD). Most of cyanobacteria are known to have both FeSOD and MnSOD which are associated with photosystem I and II. These enzymes are responsible for scavenging superoxide radicals.Spirulina platensis and Synechococcus nidulans are widely used cyanobacteria as food supplement and cosmetic due to their bioactive compounds. Although the chemical composition of S.platensis has been investigated by many researchers, research on the relationship between protein content and comparison of SOD activity with other cyanobacteria is limited.Among several SOD producing cyanobacteria, the most promising organisms were investigate in terms of SOD activities in this study. The aim of the present work was to investigate and compare the SOD activities of different cyanobacteria including S. platensis, Pseudanabeana sp., S. nidulans and associate with protein contents. SOD activities of these cyanobacteria were determined by xanthine/xanthineoxidase method.Modified Lowry method was used for protein determination. The analysis results showed that the maximum specific SOD activity obtained was 50.4 U/mg from S.nidulans and the minimum specific SOD activity was 18.4 U/mg from Pseudanabeana sp. Total protein amount of S. nidulans, S. platensis, Pseudanabeana sp. was determined as 0.25 mg/ml, 0.27 mg/ml and 0.43 mg/ml respectively. As a result, Synechococcus nidulans was more efficient at scavenging peroxide radicals than Pseudanabeana sp. © 2015, © 2015 Har Krishan Bhalla & Sons.Correction Corrigendum To “ankos Publisher Application System and Its Impact on the E-Resource Evaluation Process” [serials Review 39 (2013) 29–36](Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2013) Bulut, Burcu; Uğur, Handan; Gürdal, Gültekin; Holt, İlkay; Çukadar, Sami; Akbayrak, Emre H.; Çelebi, Mustafa K.[No abstract available]Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 19A Suppressed Demand Analysis Method of the Transportation Disadvantaged in Policy Making(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2009) Duvarcı, Yavuz; Mizokami, ShoshiThis paper proposes a method for estimating transportation supply requirements when the suppressed demand of the transportation disadvantaged (TD) can be calculated and added to existing demand for travel. The underlying assumption is that the travel conditions of these TD groups must be equal to the 'conventional' demand, known as 'full release'. Utilising the modelling approach for TD, suppressed demand analysis, diagnosis of difficulties and equity between conventional and disadvantaged groups were realised, while elaborating special cases for the most vulnerable TD groups (such as elderly and disabled persons) and simultaneously identifying areas of difficulty. From the early virtual results, it is concluded that, for the full release of suppressed trips (only a 5% increase), policy makers must be ready to face some financial burdens, requiring coordination of effort to both standardise these TD groups and reduce the costs incurred by operators.
