    Development of Chrono-Spectral Gold Nanoparticle Growth Based Plasmonic Biosensor Platform
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Sözmen,A.B.; Elveren,B.; Erdogan,D.; Mezgil,B.; Bastanlar,Y.; Yildiz,U.H.; Arslan Yildiz,A.
    Plasmonic sensor platforms are designed for rapid, label-free, and real-time detection and they excel as the next generation biosensors. However, current methods such as Surface Plasmon Resonance require expertise and well-equipped laboratory facilities. Simpler methods such as Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) overcome those limitations, though they lack sensitivity. Hence, sensitivity enhancement plays a crucial role in the future of plasmonic sensor platforms. Herein, a refractive index (RI) sensitivity enhancement methodology is reported utilizing growth of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on solid support and it is backed up with artificial neural network (ANN) analysis. Sensor platform fabrication was initiated with GNP immobilization onto solid support; immobilized GNPs were then used as seeds for chrono-spectral growth, which was carried out using NH2OH at varied incubation times. The response to RI change of the platform was investigated with varied concentrations of sucrose and ethanol. The detection of bacteria E.coli BL21 was carried out for validation as a model microorganism and results showed that detection was possible at 102 CFU/ml. The data acquired by spectrophotometric measurements were analyzed by ANN and bacteria classification with percentage error rates near 0% was achieved. The proposed LSPR-based, label-free sensor application proved that the developed methodology promises utile sensitivity enhancement potential for similar sensor platforms. © 2024 The Author(s)

    Relationship Between Abrasion, Fragmentation and Thermal Weathering Resistance of Aggregates: Regression and Artificial Neural Network Analyses
    (Springer, 2023) Gökalp, İslam; Kaya, Orhan; Uz, Volkan Emre
    For being used in pavement construction, properties of aggregates must satisfy the minimum requirements specified by highway agencies or institutions. The properties of the aggregates are determined by many tests lasting anywhere between a couple of hours to a few weeks depending on the type of the test. If good correlations can be established between the tests taking longer time and the ones taking comparably shorter time, there might be no need to conduct these longer time-taking tests for the sake of time. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between abrasion, fragmentation, and thermal weathering resistances of different aggregate types. To accomplish this aim, aggregates with different origins (natural and slags) were tested and correlative analyses utilizing regression analysis and artificial neural network (ANN) models were performed to establish relationships between the results of these test methods. It was found that good correlations can be established especially with ANN models and significant amount of time and effort can be saved with these developed models. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Chinese Society of Pavement Engineering.
