Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Çelik Fiber Katkısının Farklı Boyuna Donatı Oranına Sahip Betonarme Döşemelerin Zımbalama Davranışı Üzerinde Etkileri(2019) Saatci, Selcuk; Yasayanlar, Suleyman; Yasayanlar, Yonca; Batarlar, BaturaySunulan çalışmada her iki yönde birbirine dik 0,004 (D1 serisi) ve 0,002 (D2 serisi) oranında boyuna donatıiçeren 2150x2150x150 mm boyutlarında iki grup betonarme döşeme, hacimce %0, %0,5, %1 ve %1,5oranında çelik fiber katkısı içeren beton karışımlarıyla dökülmüştür. Üretilen toplam sekiz döşeme ortanoktalarından statik yük altında test edilmişlerdir. Çelik fiber katkısı olmayan numunelerde yüksek boyunadonatı oranına sahip döşeme boyuna donatısında akma gerçekleşmeden gevrek bir şekilde zımbalamagöçmesi oluşurken düşük boyuna donatı oranına sahip döşeme zımbalama gerçekleşmeden önce çok dahasünek bir davranış göstermiştir. Çelik fiber katkısı her iki boyuna donatı oranında da iki kata varan oranlardazımbalama dayanımı artışlarına sebep olmuştur. Ancak D1 serisi döşemelerde çelik fiber katkısı maksimumyer değiştirmeleri önemli ölçüde arttırırken D2 serisinde maksimum yer değiştirmelerde önemli bir farkoluşmamış, bu döşemelerin yer değiştirmesi boyuna donatının akması tarafından kontrol edilmiştir. Çelikfiber katkısı oranının arttırılması D1 serisi döşemelerde dayanımın ve maksimum yer değiştirmelerinartmasına sebep olurken, D2 serisi döşemelerde %1'in üstü çelik fiber katkı oranları davranışta önemli birfark oluşturmamıştır. Yapılan deneyler Kritik Kesme Çatlağı Teorisi kullanılarak analitik olarakmodellenmiş ve bu tip modelleme ile ilgili bazı iyileştirmeler önerilmiştir.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Lacoo3 Is a Promising Catalyst for the Dry Reforming of Benzene Used as a Surrogate of Biomass Tar(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Çağlar, Başar; Üner, DenizTar build-up is one of the bottlenecks of biomass gasification processes. Dry reforming of tar is an alternative solution if the oxygen chemical potential on the catalyst surface is at a sufficient level. For this purpose, an oxygen-donor perovskite, $LaCoO_3$, was used as a catalyst for the dry reforming of tar. To circumvent the complexity of the tar and its constituents, the benzene molecule was chosen as a model compound. Dry reforming of benzene vapor on the $LaCoO_3$ catalyst was investigated at temperatures of 600, 700, and 800 °C; at $CO_2/C_6H_6$ ratios of 3, 6, and 12; and at space velocities of 14,000 and 28,000 h–1. The conventional Ni(15 wt.%)/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst was also used as a reference material to determine the relative activity of the $LaCoO_3$ catalyst. Different characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, $N_2$ adsorption-desorption, temperature-programmed reduction, and oxidation were used to determine the physicochemical characteristics of the catalysts. The findings demonstrated that the $LaCoO_3$ catalyst has higher $CO_2$ conversion, higher $H_2$ and CO yields, and better stability than the Ni(15 wt.%)/γ-$Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The improvement in activity was attributed to the strong capacity of $LaCoO_3$ for oxygen exchange. The transfer of lattice oxygen from the surface of the $LaCoO_3$ catalyst facilitates the oxidation of carbon and other surface species and leads to higher conversion and yields.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Β-Ketoenamine-linked covalent organic framework for efficient iodine capture(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Büyükçakır, OnurExploring the materials that effectively capture radioactive iodine is crucial in managing nuclear waste produced from nuclear power plants. In this study, a β-ketoenamine-linked covalent organic framework (bCOF) is reported as an effective adsorbent to capture iodine from both vapor and solution. The bCOF’s high porosity and heteroatom-rich skeleton offer notable iodine vapor uptake capacity of up to 2.51g $g^{–1}$ at 75 °C under ambient pressure. Furthermore, after five consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles, the bCOF demonstrates high reusability performance with significant iodine vapor capacity retention. The adsorption mechanism was also investigated using various ex situ structural characterization techniques, and these mechanistic studies revealed the existence of a strong chemical interaction between the bCOF and iodine. The bCOF also showed good iodine uptake performance of up to 512 mg $g^{–1}$ in cyclohexane with high removal efficiencies. The bCOF’s performance in adsorbing iodine from both vapor and solution makes it a promising material to be used as an effective adsorbent in capturing radioactive iodine emissions from nuclear power plants.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Enrichment of Turkish Question Answering Systems Using Knowledge Graphs(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Ciftci, Okan; Soygazi, Fatih; Tekir, SelmaRecent capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have transformed many tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP), including question answering. The state-of-the-art systems do an excellent job of responding in a relevant, persuasive way but cannot guarantee factuality. Knowledge graphs, representing facts as triplets, can be valuable for avoiding errors and inconsistencies with real-world facts. This work introduces a knowledge graph-based approach to Turkish question answering. The proposed approach aims to develop a methodology capable of drawing inferences from a knowledge graph to answer complex multihop questions. We construct the Beyazperde Movie Knowledge Graph (BPMovieKG) and the Turkish Movie Question Answering dataset (TRMQA) to answer questions in the movie domain. We evaluate our proposed question answering pipeline against a baseline study. Furthermore, we compare it with a question answering system built upon GPT-3.5 Turbo to answer the 1-hop questions from TRMQA. The experimental results confirm that link prediction on a knowledge graph is quite effective in answering questions that require reasoning paths. Finally, we provide insights into the pros and cons of the provided solution through a qualitative study.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Integration of Daylight Use and Analysis in Double Skin Facades: a Literature Review(Gazi Universitesi, 2024) Kazanasmaz, Tugce; Ünlütürk, Mustafa SerhanDouble skin facades (DSF) aim to save energy reducing the heat losses in buildings. They are visually appeal while allowing to use daylight efficiently. Such facade systems can reduce glare and distribute daylight evenly in the interior when compared to conventional facade systems. That is a result of cavities between two glass facades and locating sun shading elements in them, although this system provides a high level of transparency. As their primary purpose of application is to ensure thermal performance and ventilation, most studies in literature have focused on these. This study started with the hypothesis that studies examining daylight performance in DSFs are more limited than studies examining thermal performance and that daylight optimization methods are not used sufficiently in DSFs. In this context, the study aims to analyze studies focusing on daylight performance of DSFs. The review targets results of such current studies to guide future ones providing feedback knowledge. This may help to better technical developments in such facades and make them prevail in constructions or in retrofitting So, it contributes to literature in this sense. Recent studies are shown in tabulated form and interpreted in detail with graphics. considering their methodologies, daylight parameters and findings. Results show that the daylight parameter is one of the most important issues that architects or designers should consider from the moment they start the design, and they should make their designs based on the optimum penetration of daylight into the building. Consequently, this review presents that the use of daylight optimization has started to be used in recent studies dealing with DSFs. A DSF design can optimally get daylight into the interior can be made by using this method more frequently.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3Expression Patterns of M6a Rna Methylation Regulators Under Apoptotic Conditions in Various Human Cancer Cell Lines(TUBITAK, 2024) Alasar, Azime Akçaöz; Sağlam, Buket; Vatansever, İpek Erdoğan; Akgül, BünyaminBackground/aim: Cancer is a complex disease that involves both genetic and epigenetic factors. While emerging evidence clearly suggests that changes in epitranscriptomics play a crucial role in cancer pathogenesis, a comprehensive understanding of the writers, erasers, and readers of epitranscriptomic processes, particularly under apoptotic conditions remains lacking. The aim of this study was to uncover the changes in the expression of m6A RNA modifiers under apoptotic conditions across various cancer cell lines. Materials and methods: Initially, we quantified the abundance of m6A RNA modifiers in cervical (HeLa and ME180), breast (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231), lung (A549 and H1299), and colon (Caco-2 and HCT116) cancer cell lines using qPCR. Subsequently, we induced apoptosis using cisplatin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) to activate intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, respectively, and assessed apoptosis rates via flow cytometry. Further, we examined the transcript abundance of m6A RNA modifiers under apoptotic conditions in cervical, breast, and lung cancer cell lines using qPCR. Results: Overall, treatment with cisplatin increased the abundance of m 6A modifiers, whereas TNF-α treatment decreased their expression in cervical, breast, and lung cancer cell lines. Specifically, cisplatin-induced apoptosis, but not TNF-α-mediated apoptosis, resulted in decreased abundance of METTL14 and FTO transcripts. Additionally, cisplatin treatment drastically reduced the abundance of IGF2BP2 and IGF2BP3 readers. Conclusion: These results suggest that the differential response of cancer cells to apoptotic inducers may be partially attributed to the expression of m6A RNA modifiers.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Lower Data Attacks on Advanced Encryption Standard(Turkiye Klinikleri, 2024) Kara, OrhunThe Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is one of the most commonly used and analyzed encryption algorithms. In this work, we present new combinations of some prominent attacks on AES, achieving new records in data requirements among attacks, utilizing only $2^4 and 2^{16}$ chosen plaintexts (CP) for 6-round and 7-round AES- 192/256, respectively. One of our attacks is a combination of a meet-in-the-middle (MiTM) attack with a square attack mounted on 6-round AES-192/256 while another attack combines an MiTM attack and an integral attack, utilizing key space partitioning technique, on 7-round AES-192/256. Moreover, we illustrate that impossible differential (ID) attacks can be viewed as the dual of MiTM attacks in certain aspects which enables us to recover the correct key using the meet-in-the-middle (MiTM) technique instead of sieving through all potential wrong keys in our ID attack. Furthermore, we introduce the constant guessing technique in the inner rounds which significantly reduces the number of key bytes to be searched. The time and memory complexities of our attacks remain marginal.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Ascorbic Acid Enhances the Metabolic Activity, Growth and Collagen Production of Human Dermal Fibroblasts Growing in Three-Dimensional (3D) Culture(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2023) Dikici, SerkanTissue engineering (TE) enables the development of functional synthetic substitutes to be replaced with damaged tissues and organs instead of the use of auto or allografts. A wide range of biomaterials is currently in use as TE scaffolds. Among these materials, naturally sourced ones are favorable due to being highly biocompatible and supporting cell growth and function, whereas synthetic ones are advantageous because of the high tunability on mechanical and physical properties as well as being easy to process. Alongside the advantages of synthetic polymers, they mostly show hydrophobic behavior that limits biomaterial-cell interaction and, consequently, the functioning of the developed TE constructs. In this study, we assessed the impact of L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA2P) on improving the culture conditions of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) growing on a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold made of polycaprolactone (PCL) using emulsion templating. Our results demonstrated that AA2P enhances the metabolic activity and growth of HDFs as well as collagen deposition by them when supplemented in their growth medium at 50 µg/mL concentration. It showed a great potential to be used as a growth medium supplement to circumvent the disadvantages of culturing human cells on a synthetic biomaterial that is not favored in default. AA2P's potential to improve cell growth and collagen deposition may prove an effective way to culture human cells on 3D PCL PolyHIPE scaffolds for various TE applications.Article Yüksek Derecede Kurum Üreten 2b Gazyağı/hava Difüzyon Alevleri Üzerinde Diferansiyel Yayılımın ve Basıncın Etkileri(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2024) Korucu, Ayşe; Miller, RichardBu çalısmada, dört farklı ortam basıncında kurum, oluşum ve yıkım süreçlerini incelemek amacıyla, yoğun kurum üreten Gazyağı/Hava alevleri, gerçek gaz (GG) ve ideal gaz (İG) hal denklemleri ve Lewis (Le) sayısının bir olarak kabul edildiği modeller ele alınmıştır. Yarı-genel kurum oluşum ve yıkım modelini içeren indirgenmiş Gazyağı/Hava mekanizması (29-adım, 10 çeşit gaz) 2 boyutlu (2B) Direk Sayısal Simülasyon (DNS) verilerini oluşturmak için MPI FORTRAN ile kodu yazılmış bir program kullanılmıştır. Le sayısının bire eşit kabul edildiği alev tahminlerinin, Le sayısının bire eşit olmadığı (genelleştirilmiş difüzyon) durumların sayısal sonuçlarından elde edilen alev yapısı ve kurum özelliklerinin istatiksel olarak benzerlik sağlayıp sağlamadığı araştırılmıştır. Bu bağlamda yapılan çalışmanın sonucunda, ortam basınçları 1, 5, 10 ve 35 atm olan Le sayısının bir olarak kabul edildiği GGLE ve İGLE modelleri ile üretilmiş 2B DNS alev tahminlerinin kurum özelliklerinin ve alev yapılarının yanlış hesaplanmasına yol açtığı belirlenmiştir.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Dynamics of Co2 Consumption, and Biomass and Lipid Carbon Production During Photobioreactor Cultivation of the Diatom Cyclotella(TÜBİTAK - Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, 2023) Ökten, HaticeUnderstanding of CO2 delivery and consumption dynamics in algal photobioreactors are critical to unravel microalgae’s full potential for bioproduct generation and carbon capture from flue gas streams. This study aims to expand our current understanding by cultivating the diatom Cyclotella under controlled process conditions of a bubble column photobioreactor and analyzing CO2 consumption dynamics in real time using results from an online CO2 sensor connected to the reactor exhaust. Two sets of experiments were conducted: they served to contrast the influence of silicon and nitrate (Si&N colimitation) and Si limitation, and the light availability, respectively. CO2 consumption was calculated based on the mass balance around the reactor inlet and outlet gas streams. Biomass samples and lipid extracts were analyzed for carbon (C) content to determine biomass-C and lipid-C concentrations. The outlet CO2 concentrations varied significantly with cultivation time and process conditions. More than 15% to 65% of the CO2 introduced left the reactor in the exhaust at any instance based on the set CO2 transfer rates. The highest average daily capturing efficiency was 60%. Nutrient limitation regimes imposed generated unique CO2 consumption profiles undiscernible by the biomass-C analysis, i.e. unlike Si limitation, N limitation had more immediate detrimental effects on C consumption. Final biomass-C concentration increased with increasing N and light availability, 275 mg/L vs. 336 mg/L, and 270 mg/L vs. 501 mg/L, respectively. Biomass-C based capturing efficiency approximations resulted in 20% to 40% underestimation. Under Si-limited conditions, the higher light intensity increased the final lipid-C to biomass-C ratio by two times (from 20% to 40%) and the final lipid-C concentration and peak productivity by four times (from 56 mg/L to 216 mg/L, from 7 to 30 mg/L-day, respectively). This study demonstrates online exhaust CO2 concentration-based analysis’s unique capabilities for assessing carbon availability and capture, organic-C production, and its diversion to biomass and lipid production.
