    Determination of Aluminum Rolling Oil and Machinery Oil Residues on Finished Aluminum Sheet and Foil Using Elemental Analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Coupled With Multivariate Calibration
    (Wiley Blackwell, 2014) Uçar,Ö.I.; Altuner,H.M.; Günyüz,M.; Dündar,M.M.; Özdemir,D.
    The surface characteristics of rolled aluminum products such as sheets and foils are strongly affected by the particular rolling process and the type of aluminum rolling oil compositions. After the rolling process, coiled aluminum sheets and foils undergoes annealing to form desired crystal structure and remove the rolling oil residues. Depending on the time and the temperature that rolled aluminum exposed for annealing, rolling oil residues are mostly removed from the coiled aluminum products but if there is any contamination in rolling oil due to hydraulic and gearing parts of the rolling systems these heavier oils are not easily evaporates from the aluminum surfaces especially inner parts of the coiled aluminum sheets and foils. These rolling oil contaminants create serious problems for the some specific applications of these aluminum products in certain industries such as automotive and coating as remaining thin oil layer prevents proper painting and coating. Therefore, it is very crucial for the rolling industry to be able to monitor the heavy oil contamination on the rolled products and determine the source of these contaminants .In this study, it was aimed to develop a nondestructive infrared spectroscopic method combined with chemometric multivariate calibration techniques for the quantitative determination of rolling oil residues and contaminants on the rolled aluminum products. To be able to generate multivariate calibration methods, an industrial elemental analysis system was adopted for the quantitative determination of heavy oil contaminants on the rolled aluminum products and these were used as reference values for infrared analysis of the same samples. In addition, apart from conventional use of elemental analysis systems for the total organic analysis, the raw data (raw chromatogram) obtained from elemental analysis was used to directly generate multivariate calibration models for each contaminant by using synthetically contaminated surfaces as the calibration samples. The results promised that elemental analysis can be used not just for the total organic content but also specifically to determine amount of each infrared spectroscopy with grazing angle spectra collection accessories can be used for nondestructive analysis of these contaminants. © 2014 The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.

    Prediction of Rainfall Runoff-Induced Sediment Load From Bare Land Surfaces by Generalized Regression Neural Network and Empirical Model
    (Wiley, 2020) Tayfur, Gökmen; Aksoy, Hafzullah; Eriş, Ebru
    Based on three rainfall run-off-induced sediment transport data for bare surface experimental plots, the generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and empirical models were developed to predict sediment load. Rainfall intensity, slope, rainfall duration, soil particle median diameter, clay content of the soil, rill density and soil particle mass density constituted the input variables of the models while sediment load was the target output. The GRNN model was trained and tested. The GRNN model was found successful in predicting sediment load. Sensitivity analysis by the GRNN model revealed that slope and rainfall duration were the most sensitive parameters. In addition to the GRNN model, two empirical models were proposed: (1) in the first empirical model, all the input variables were related to the sediment load, and (2) in the second empirical model, only rainfall intensity, slope and rainfall duration were related to the sediment load. The empirical models were calibrated and validated. At the calibration stage, the coefficients and the exponents of the empirical models were obtained using the genetic algorithm optimization method. The validated empirical models were also applied to two more experimental data sets: (1) one data set was from a field experiment, and (2) one set was from a laboratory experiment. The results indicated the success of the empirical models in predicting sediment load from bare land surfaces.

    Determination of Olive Oil Adulteration With Vegetable Oils by Near Infrared Spectroscopy Coupled With Multivariate Calibration
    (SAGE Publications, 2010) Öztürk, Betül; Yalçın, Ayşegül; Özdemir, Durmuş
    There has been growing public awareness about the health benefits of olive oil throughout the world in recent years, resulting in a significant increase in its consumption as part of the daily diet This demand has attracted fraudulent attempts to market olive oil which has been adulterated with cheaper oils. This study focuses on the near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic determination of adulteration of olive oil by vegetable oils using multivariate calibration. The binary, ternary and quaternary mixtures of olive, soybean, cotton, corn, canola and sunflower oils were prepared using a random design. The absorbance spectra of these synthetic samples were measured by a near infrared (NIR) spectrometer. A genetic algorithm-based variable selection algorithm, coupled with an inverse least squares multivariate calibration method (GILS) was used to build calibration models for possible adulterants and olive oil in the adulterated mixtures The correlation coefficients of actual versus predicted concentrations resulting from multivariate calibration models for the different oils were between 0 90 and 0.99 The results demonstrated that NIR spectroscopy in conjunction with the GILS method makes it possible to determine the adulteration of olive oils regardless of adulterant vegetable oils over a wide range of concentrations.

    Determination of Honey Adulteration With Beet Sugar and Corn Syrup Using Infrared Spectroscopy and Genetic-Algorithm Multivariate Calibration
    (Wiley, 2018) Başar, Başak; Özdemir, Durmuş
    BACKGROUND Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) equipped with attenuated total reflectance accessory was used to determine honey adulteration. Adulterated honey samples were prepared by adding corn syrup, beet sugar and water as adulterants to the pure honey samples in various amounts. The spectra of adulterated and pure honey samples (n = 209) were recorded between 4000 and 600 cm(-1) wavenumber range. RESULTS CONCLUSION Genetic-algorithm-based inverse least squares (GILS) and partial least squares (PLS) methods were used to determine honey content and amount of adulterants. Results indicated that the multivariate calibration generated with GILS could produce successful models with standard error of cross-validation in the range 0.97-2.52%, and standard error of prediction between 0.90 and 2.19% (% w/w) for all the components contained in the adulterated samples. Similar results were obtained with PLS, generating slightly larger standard error of cross-validation and standard error of prediction values. The fact that the models were generated with several honey samples coming from various different botanical and geographical origins, quite successful results were obtained for the detection of adulterated honey samples with a simple Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy technique. Having a genetic algorithm for variable selection helped to build somewhat better models with GILS compared with PLS. (c) 2018 Society of Chemical Industry

    Generalized Regression Neural Network and Empirical Models To Predict the Strength of Gypsum Pastes Containing Fly Ash and Blast Furnace Slag
    (Springer Verlag, 2020) Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Cengiz, Okan; Tayfur, Gökmen
    Gypsum is widely used in constructions owing to its easy application, zero shrinkage, and excellent fire resistance. Several parameters can affect the properties of gypsum pastes. To study the strength of the gypsum pastes experimentally by trying all these parameters is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, artificial intelligence methods can be very useful to predict the paste strength, which, in turn, can reduce the number of trial batches. Based on experimental data, the generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and empirical models were developed to predict strength of gypsum pastes containing fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS). Gypsum content, pozzolan content, curing temperature, curing duration, and testing age constituted the input variables of the models while the paste strength was the target output. The trained and tested GRNN model was found to be successful in predicting strength. Sensitivity analysis by the GRNN model revealed that the curing duration and temperature were important sensitive parameters. In addition to the GRNN model, empirical models were proposed for the strength prediction. The same input variables formed the input vectors of the empirical models. The same dataset used for the calibration of the GRNN model was employed to establish the empirical models by employing genetic algorithm (GA) method. The empirical models were successfully validated. The GRNN and GA_based empirical models were also tested against the multi-linear regression (MLR) and multi-nonlinear regression (MNLR) models. The results showed the outperformance of the GRNN and the GA_based empirical models over the others.

    Uv-Visible Spectrophotometric Quantitative Analysis of Ternary Mixture Using Multivariate Calibration Methods Optimized by a Genetic Algorithm
    (Syscom 18 SRL, 2010) Özdemir, Durmuş; Dinç, Erdal; Baleanu, Dimutru
    Simultaneous determination of ternary mixtures of caffeine, paracetamol and metamizol in commercial tablet formulations using UV-visible spectrophotometry combined with classical least squares (CLS) and genetic algorithm (GA) based multivariate calibration methods were demonstrated. The three genetic multivariate calibration methods are named as Genetic Classical Least Squares (GCLS), Genetic Inverse Least Squares (GILS) and Genetic Regression (GR). The GR method is based on a genetic algorithm based wavelength selection followed by a simple linear regression step whereas the GCLS and GILS are multivariate calibration methods modified by a wavelength selection principle using a genetic algorithm. The sample data set contains the UV-visible spectra of 47 synthetic mixtueres (4 to 48 μg/mL) and 16 tablets containing these components from two different producers. The spectra cover the range from 200 to 330 nm in 0.1 nm intervals. Several calibration models were built with the four methods for the three components. Overall, the standard error of calibration (SEC) and the standard error of prediction (SEP) for the synthetic data were in the range of 0.04 and 2.34 μg/mL for all the four methods. Predictive ability of the calibration models generated with synthetic samples was tested with actual tablet samples and results obtained from four methods were compared. The SEP values for the tablets were in the range of 0.31 and 15.44 mg/tablets.

    Modern Optimization Methods in Water Resources Planning, Engineering and Management
    (Springer Verlag, 2017) Tayfur, Gökmen
    Mathematical (analytical, numerical and optimization) models are employed in many disciplines including the water resources planning, engineering and management. These models can vary from a simple black-box model to a sophisticated distributed physics-based model. Recently, development and employment of modern optimization methods (MOMs) have become popular in the area of mathematical modeling. This paper overviews the MOMs based on the evolutionary search which were developed over mostly the last 30 years. These methods have wide application in practice from finance to engineering and this paper focuses mostly on the applications in the area of water resources planning, engineering and management. Although there are numerous optimization algorithms, the paper outlines the ones that have been widely employed especially in the last three decades; such as the Genetic Algorithm (GA), Ant Colony (AC), Differential Evolution (DE), Particle Swarm (PS), Harmony Search (HS), Genetic Programming (GP), and Gene Expression Programming (GEP). The paper briefly introduces theoretical background of each algorithm and its applications and discusses the merits and, if any, shortcomings. The wide spectrum of applications include, but not limited to, flood control and mitigation, reservoir operation, irrigation, flood routing, river training, flow velocity, rainfall-runoff processes, sediment transport, groundwater management, water quality, hydropower, dispersion, and aquifers.

    Reverse flood routing in natural channels using genetic algorithm
    (Springer Verlag, 2015) Zucco, Graziano; Tayfur, Gökmen; Moramarco, Tommaso
    Establishing a clear overview of data discharge availability for water balance modelling in basins is a priority in Europe, and in the particular in the framework of the system of Economic and Environmental Accounts for Water (SEEAW) developed by the EU Directorate-General for the Environment. However, accurate discharge estimation at a river site depends on rating curve reliability usually defined by recording the water level at a gauged section and carrying out streamflow measurements. Local stage monitoring is fairly straightforward and relatively inexpensive compared to the cost to carry out flow velocity measurements which are, in addition, hindered by high flow. Moreover, hydraulic models may not be ideally suitable to serve the purpose of rating curve extension or its development at a river site upstream/downstream where the discharge is known due to their prohibitive requirement of channel cross-section details and roughness information at closer intervals. Likewise, rainfall-runoff transformation might be applied but its accuracy is tightly linked to detailed information in terms of geomorphological characteristics of intermediate basins as well as rainfall pattern data. On this basis, a procedure for reverse flood routing in natural channels is here proposed for three different configurations of hydrometric monitoring of a river reach where lateral flow is significant and no rainfall data are available for the intermediate basin. The first considers only the downstream channel end as a gauged site where discharge and stages are recorded. The second configuration assumes the downstream end as a gauged site but only in terms of stage. The third configuration envisages both channel ends equipped to recording stages. The channel geometry is known only at channel ends. The developed model has basically four components: (1) the inflow hydrograph is expressed by a Pearson Type-III distribution, involving parameters of peak discharge, time to peak, and a shape factor; (2) the basic continuity equation for flow routing written in the characteristic form is employed; (3) the lateral flow is related to stages at channel ends. (4) the relation between local stage and remote discharge as found by Moramarco et al. (2005b) is exploited. The parameters, coefficients and exponents of the model are obtained, for each configuration, using the genetic algorithm method. Three equipped river branches along the Tiber River in central Italy are used to validate the procedure. Analyses are carried out for three significant flood events occurred along the river and where the lateral flow was significant. Results show the good performance of the procedure for all three monitoring configurations. Specifically, the discharge hydrographs assessed at channel ends are found satisfactory both in terms of shape with a Nash-Sutcliffe ranging overall in the interval (0.755–0.972) and in the reproduction of rating curves at channel ends. Finally, by a synthetic test the performance of the developed procedure is compared to that of the hydraulic model coupled with a hydrologic model. Two river reaches are considered, the first along the Tiber River and the second one located in the Rio Grande basin which is a tributary of the Tiber River. Detailed channel geometry data are available for both the river sections. Results showed the effectiveness of the reverse flood routing to reproducing fairly well the hydrographs simulated by the hydraulic model in the three monitoring investigated configurations.

    Principle Component Analysis in Conjuction With Data Driven Methods for Sediment Load Prediction
    (Springer Verlag, 2013) Tayfur, Gökmen; Karimi, Yashar; Singh, Vijay P.
    This study investigates sediment load prediction and generalization from laboratory scale to field scale using principle component analysis (PCA) in conjunction with data driven methods of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GAs). Five main dimensionless parameters for total load are identified by using PCA. These parameters are used in the input vector of ANN for predicting total sediment loads. In addition, nonlinear equations are constructed, based upon the same identified dimensionless parameters. The optimal values of exponents and constants of the equations are obtained by the GA method. The performance of the so-developed ANN and GA based methods is evaluated using laboratory and field data. Results show that the expert methods (ANN and GA), calibrated with laboratory data, are capable of predicting total sediment load in field, thus showing their transferability. In addition, this study shows that the expert methods are not transferable for suspended load, perhaps due to insufficient laboratory data. Yet, these methods are able to predict suspended load in field, when trained with respective field data.
