    Drying of Olive Leaves in a Geothermal Dryer and Determination of Quality Parameters of Dried Product
    (Elsevier, 2019) Helvacı, Hüseyin Utku; Menon, Abhay; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Korel, Figen; Gökçen Akkurt, Gülden
    In this study, a cabinet type geothermal dryer was designed, operated and tested for drying olive leaves with minimum losses of phenolic content and antioxidant capacity by optimization of drying conditions. Two factors; face centered central composite design was applied and response surface methodology was used to optimize the drying conditions of olive leaves. The results indicate that phenolic content stability were mainly affected by air temperature, whereas antioxidant capacity is affected by both air temperature and velocity (p<0.05). The optimal drying conditions were found to be at 50°C of air temperature and 1 m/s of air velocity for the minimum losses of determined quality parameters, where 88.8% of phenolic content and 95.3% of antioxidant capacity were recovered.

    (IEEE, 2019) Anıl İnevi, Müge; Sarıgil, Öykü; Yaman, Sena; Yalçın Özuysal, Özden; Meşe, Gülistan; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Özçivici, Engin
    Gravity is an important biomechanical signal effecting the morphology and function of organisms. Reduction of gravitational forces, as experienced during spaceflight, cause alterations in the biological systems. Magnetic levitation technique is one of the most recent ground-based technology to mimic weightlessness environment. In addition to providing a platform to investigate biological effects of the weightlessness, this platform presents a novel opportunity to biofabricate 3-dimensional (3D) structures in a scaffold-and nozzle-free fashion. In this study, various controllable self-assembled 3D living structures were fabricated via magnetic levitation technique. This strategy may offer an easy and cost-effective opportunity for a wide range of space biotechnology researches.

    Arsenic in Groundwater in Western Anatolia, Turkey: a Review
    (University of Silesia Press, 2010) Gündüz, Orhan; Baba, Alper; Elpit, Handan
    Occurrence of arsenic (As) in groundwater has been a major problem worldwide for the last hundred years. Considering its toxic effects on human health, the presence of elevated levels of arsenic in groundwater resources used in drinking water supply has been an active research field throughout the world (Van Halem et al., 2009). In this regard, case studies from Bangla-desh, India, Nepal, El Salvador, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Chile, China, Canada, Argentina, Peru, Taiwan, United States, Bolivia and Turkey have been documented with regards to the detection of natural levels in groundwater, the occurrence and distribution mechanisms, the human health effects and the in-situ and ex-situ treatment techniques (Jean et al., 2010). In many of these locations, arsenic is naturally found in the subsurface strata within volcanic and sedimentary formations as well as in areas of geothermal systems related to tectonic activity. Western Anatolia in Turkey is one such area of complex geology with active tectonics and high geothermal potential. This natural setting serves as a suitable environment for the presence of high levels of arsenic in subsurface waters. Based on these fundamentals, this study presents a general overview of arsenic presence in western Anatolia.

    Cell Load Based User Association for Tetra Trunk Systems
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Karataş, Azad; Özbek, Berna; Bardak, Erinç Deniz; Sönmez, İlker
    Increasing traffic in communication systems need efficient new cell selection algorithms to control the distribution of users. For better and seamless transmission, load balancing become critical factors for cell selection algorithms. Un-desired consequents in these situations may cause disasters specifically for the emergency cases in public safety services. In this paper, a cell selection algorithm is proposed for Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) based Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) systems. The proposed algorithm is designed to provide a fairer distribution of users among cells while keeping the number of received power measurement less. The performances of the proposed algorithm are obtained in urban and rural environment.

    Mobile Join Operators for Restricted Sources
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2005) Özakar, Belgin; Morvan, Franck; Hameurlain, Abdelkader
    We consider the problem of query execution when there is limited access to the relations, i.e. when binding patterns require values to be specified in order to get data from the relation. This problem is common in virtual data integration systems where there are heterogeneous sources with various restricted access patterns and query capabilities. Another problem is the lack of the statistical information about the sources and occurrence of unpredictable events. We introduce two mobile join operators, MDJoin and SMDJoin which are designed for restricted sources and implemented using ‘mobile agents’ in order to benefit from their autonomous and reactive characteristics. Mobile operators of restricted sources are capable to deal with restricted sources and react to the variations between the compile-time estimations and run-time computations of data during query execution. The difference between the two new query operators lies in their level of adaptation ability to the execution environment. Performance results show that mobile agent-based approach at operator level can lead to a significant reduction in response time with restricted sources.

    Adaptive Signal Processing Strategy for a Wind Farm System Fault Accommodation
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018) Simani, Silvio; Turhan, Cihan
    In order to enhance the 'sustainability' of offshore wind farms, thus skipping unplanned maintenance operations and costs, that can be important for offshore systems, the earlier management of faults represents the key point. Therefore, this work studies the development of an adaptive sustainable control scheme with application to a wind farm benchmark consisting of nine wind turbine systems. They are described via their nonlinear models, as well as the wind and wake effects among the wind turbines of the wind park. The fault tolerant (i.e., sustainable) control strategy uses the recursive estimation of the faults provided by nonlinear estimators designed via a nonlinear differential algebraic tool. These estimators are not affected by the model uncertainty and the wake effects among the wind turbines. This work exploits also a data-driven method used for estimating the analytical form of these disturbance functions, which are employed for obtaining the nonlinear fault reconstructors. Note that purely analytic approaches, where the model nonlinearity and the disturbance decoupling features are directly taken into account, may lead to more complex design tools. This aspect of the study, together with the more straightforward solution based on a data-driven scheme, is the issue when online applications are proposed for a viable implementation of the proposed solutions. The benchmark is exploited to verify the features of the developed strategies with respect to various fault situations and unavoidable model-reality mismatch.

    Energetic and Exergetic Design Evaluations of a Building Block Based on a Hybrid Solar Envelope Method
    (Springer Verlag, 2018) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, Nicel
    To achieve sustainable development, there needs to be a focus on decreasing use of non-renewable energy sources and greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, many studies focus on the strong relationship between energy and the environment. This study aimed to introduce the exergy analysis method into the urban planning field to find out the amount of exergy, rather than energy, that can be conserved in a building block when a solar envelope-based design is applied. In addition to the known energy-efficient design parameters, a criterion for the solar envelop method is integrated into a single method. This hybrid method includes taking into account the requirements for orientation, spacing, landscaping, and building form, as well as the building height properties as proposed in the solar envelop method. The solar envelop method depends on understanding the changing position of the sun throughout the day and year. If this dynamic behavior can be a factor in the design of an urban area, environmental friendliness, sustainability, and reduced energy consumption can comprehensively be achieved in cities.

    Occurrence of Arsenic and Related Microbial Signature of Hydrothermal Systems in Western Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis, 2012) Chen, Chienyen; Maity, Jyoti Prakash; Bundschuh, Jochen; Bhattacharya, Prosun; Baba, Alper; Gündüz, Orhan
    The naturally occurring aqueous Arsenic (As) and other toxic elements are found around the world. The present study concentrates on arsenic concentrations, speciation and related microbial diversity in a hydrothermal system in Western Turkey. The surface temperatures of hot springs reach up to 90°C and deep well (reservoir) temperatures vary in the range of 40 to 230°C. The elements such as As, B, Br, Ba, Cr, Fe, Mn, V and Zn are found in high concentration in hydrothermal waters. Hydrogeochemically, Seferihisar hot spring exhibited a Na-Cl water type. On the other hand, Karahayit, Pamukkale, Emirfaki, Alaşehir and Sart exhibit a Ca-HCO 3 water type and Çitgöl exhibited a Na-HCO 3-SO 4 water type. The arsenic (As) concentrations in geothermal waters of Western Anatolia have been detected to range from 0.03 mg/L to 1.5 mg/L, including Buharkent (İnalti) (1.50 ± 0.005 mg/L), Kizildere (1.13 ± 0.005 mg/L), Eynal (0.71 ± 0.005 mg/L) and Sarayköy (0.06 ± 0.004 mg/L). Arsenic (III) is the dominant species in geothermal water of Western Anatolia. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of bacterial diversity show that the thermophilic, sulfur/thiosulfate-oxidizing bacterium (Thiobacter subterraneus) is present in Kula geothermal water and mesophilic sulfur- and thiosulfate-oxidizing Sulfurovum lithotrophicum bacterium occurs in Sarayköy geothermal spring. Also, Bacillus fumarioli, (a thermophilic, aerobic endospore forming bacterium growing on (NH 4) 2 SO 4, MgSO 4 and MnSO 4 at 50-55°C), Schlegelella thermodepolymerans and Methylocaldum szegediense are rich in geothermal water.
