Geothermal energy is gaining more reputation and importance around the world. Correspondingly, suitable location selection is a critical step and has become necessary for the successful installation and operation of geothermal power plants. This study investigated suitability of İzmir region, located in the Aegean part of Türkiye, in terms of geothermal power plants applications by using the combination of Geographical Information System and Analytic Hierarchy Process. Based on the request of power plants, thirteen important criteria were evaluated under three main categories named as physical (C1), environmental (C2) and technical (C3). Moreover, expert’s opinions were taken into consideration to calculate the importance of these criteria. Key results showed that İzmir was suitable for geothermal power plants. The final suitability map layer pointed out that %8.73 (1.037 km2) of total area were determined as highly suitable regions in terms of installation. In addition, the obtained suitability map layer was compared with actual geothermal power plants. Based on the comparison study, power plants in Seferihisar were moderately suitable for geothermal power plants while the location of Balçova power plant was highly suitable. Regarding the suitability assessment in the present study, the location of Dikili power plants had the least suitability score.

One of the critical issues of image processing, defined as obtaining useful information from the image and improving the quality of the image, is edge detection. How edge detection performance will be affected by adding morphological operators to edge detection algorithms is among the issues that have not been fully resolved. In the study, Canny and Sobel edge detection algorithms were applied to different milling cutters used in machinability. Morphological operators were applied to the determined edges, and their effects on the edges were examined. Mean Square Error (MSE) and Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR) values were used to compare the performances of edge detection algorithms. According to MSE and PSNR results, it was seen that the Canny algorithm gave better results than the Sobel algorithm. In addition, it was concluded that the images obtained as a result of the applied morphological operations provided better performance than the images that were not applied for both Canny and Sobel algorithms.

As a major pillar of global energy production, coal mining requires continuous advancements in efficiency to contribute to the broader goal of energy sustainability, all the while the shift towards more sustainable energy sources is underway. Mechanized excavation systems employed in underground coal mines, particularly within the longwall mining method, enable high-tonnage coal production. The Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) method, one of the longwall mining techniques, has been developed for the effective extraction of coal from thick coal seams. However, as mining operations delve deeper, various complex issues, such as gallery cross-sectional variation, emerge. Gallery cross-sectional variation can increase the risk of collapse by affecting the stress distribution in the rock mass, posing a threat to worker safety. This study centers on the numerical modeling and analysis of gallery cross-sectional variation in the Ömerler underground mine, operated by the Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKI), West Lignite Enterprise (GLI). To achieve this objective, an extensive database was established through field and laboratory rock mechanics studies. This database was then utilized in the Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua 3D (FLAC3D) (v6.0) program to simulate the cross-sectional variations of the A6 panel in the Ömerler underground mine. The numerical simulation results provide valuable insights into the secondary stress-deformation changes associated with gallery cross-sectional variation.

CuO/ZrO2 composite systems were synthesized in two different ways and comprehensively characterized with X-ray diffraction(XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX). These metal oxide samples were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis and electrospinning process. In these methods, the same metal salts were used as precursors. Separately produced ZrO2 nanoparticles(NPs) and CuO particles have spherical and cube-like shapes, and both morphologies have monoclinic structures. However, ZrO2 and CuO particles do not have uniform diameters, and the average size of these particles ranges between 6–17 and 215–847 nm, respectively. Moreover, CuO/ZrO2 nanocomposite particles(NCPs) were synthesized using a facile and one-pot hydrothermal technique. They have uniform, spherical, and monoclinic structures with a 15nm average diameter. Furthermore, ZrO2 fibers were produced with the electrospinning process as highly crystalline structures after annealing, with a 230 nm average fiber diameter. In addition, ZrO2 fibers were doped with hydrothermally synthesized CuO particles with a drop-casting method for the first time. This study clearly shows that particle-fiber structure allows the development of the efficiency of p-type counterparts by using only 0.5-1.5wt.% n-type. With these results, two methods can be used to produce heterostructure CuO/ZrO2 composite particles/fibers and as potential for photocatalytic degradation.
通过两种不同的方法合成了 CuO/ZrO2 复合体系,并利用 X 射线衍射(XRD)、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)和能量色散 X 射线光谱(EDX)对其进行了全面表征。这些金属氧化物样品是通过水热合成和电纺丝工艺制备的。在这些方法中,使用了相同的金属盐作为前驱体。分别制备的 ZrO2 纳米颗粒(NPs)和 CuO 颗粒具有球形和立方体两种形状,并且两种形态均为单斜结构。然而,ZrO2 和 CuO 粒子的直径并不均匀,其平均尺寸分别为 6-17 纳米和 215-847 纳米。此外,CuO/ZrO2 纳米复合粒子(NCPs)是采用简单的一锅水热法合成的。它们具有均匀的球形单斜结构,平均直径为 15 纳米。此外,通过电纺丝工艺制得的 ZrO2 纤维在退火后具有高度结晶结构,平均纤维直径为 230 nm。此外,还首次用滴铸法在 ZrO2 纤维中掺入了水热合成的 CuO 粒子。这项研究清楚地表明,颗粒-纤维结构只需使用 0.5-1.5 重量百分比的 n 型材料,就能提高 p 型材料的效率。有了这些结果,就可以用两种方法来生产异质结构的 CuO/ZrO2 复合粒子/纤维,并将其作为光催化降解的潜在材料。

The most known and applied method for determining the abrasivity of rocks is the Cerchar Abrasivity Index (CAI). Properties of rocks such as abrasive mineral content, density, strength, and degree of cementation are the main factors affecting abrasivity, and these parameters likewise control their hardness properties. In this study, the average scratch depth formed on the rock surface after the CAI test was determined and it was investigated whether this calculated new parameter had the properties to represent the rock. Measurements were taken from four points along the scratch line formed on the surface with the help of a comparator and the average value was defined as the Cerchar Indentation Depth (CID). Measurements have shown that igneous rocks have CID values in the range of 0.01 mm-0.68 mm. Apart from the CID parameter, nine different properties (hardness, abrasivity, and physical) of fifty igneous rocks were tested. Statistically significant results were obtained by establishing relationships between CID and other rock mechanics tests. In CAI tests, it has been shown that CID measurements can be determined very sensitively if well-leveled core samples with parallel lower and upper surfaces are used. It has been determined that the CID value is directly related to the investigated rock properties and can be used as very useful experimental data in estimation studies.

The insufficiency of vitamin D, resulting from inadequate exposure to sunlight and/or insufficient dietary intake, remains a major public health concern on a global scale. In this study, vitamin D2 and D3 were microencapsulated using sporopollenin exine microcapsules extracted from Cedrus libani pollens. After loading vitamin D into the microcapsules, they were coated with chitosan, an edible, biocompatible, and mucoadhesive polysaccharide, and alginate (a food additive agent coded E401). Exine microcapsules were extracted by microwave irradiation-assisted chemical method, and structural and morphological examination of exine structures was performed by FT-IR, TGA, SEM, and SEM-EDX analyses. After loading vitamin D into microcapsules in an ethanol medium, the loaded microcapsules were immobilised into the alginate matrix in a calcium chloride solution. D2 and D3 were loaded into 100 mg of sporopollenin exine microcapsules, resulting in loading efficiencies of 31.5 mg and 16.0 mg, respectively. The vitamin D release performance of the microcapsules was examined depending on time and temperature after they were coated with a thin chitosan layer. The release of the highest amount of vitamin D2 and D3 occurred at a temperature of 37°C. Encapsulating vitamin D molecules in chitosan and alginate creates a barrier against degrading environmental conditions, which helps prevent the loss of vitamin D biological activity. This can improve vitamin D dietary supplements' storage, preservation, and marketing requirements.
阳光照射不足和/或膳食摄入不足导致的维生素 D 不足仍然是全球关注的主要公共卫生问题。在这项研究中,使用从雪松花粉中提取的孢粉素外皮微胶囊对维生素 D2 和 D3 进行了微胶囊化。将维生素 D 装入微胶囊后,在微胶囊表面涂上壳聚糖(一种可食用、生物相容性和粘附性的多糖)和藻酸盐(一种食品添加剂,代码为 E401)。利用微波辐照辅助化学方法提取了外氨酸微胶囊,并通过傅立叶变换红外光谱、热重分析、扫描电镜和扫描电镜-电子显微镜分析对外氨酸结构和形态进行了检测。在乙醇介质中将维生素 D 装入微胶囊后,在氯化钙溶液中将装入的微胶囊固定在海藻酸盐基质中。将 D2 和 D3 装入 100 毫克孢粉外皮微胶囊中,装载效率分别为 31.5 毫克和 16.0 毫克。在微胶囊表面涂上一层薄薄的壳聚糖后,根据时间和温度的不同,考察了微胶囊的维生素 D 释放性能。在 37°C 的温度下,维生素 D2 和 D3 的释放量最高。将维生素 D 分子封装在壳聚糖和海藻酸盐中可形成一道屏障,防止环境条件降解,从而有助于防止维生素 D 生物活性的丧失。这可以改善维生素 D 膳食补充剂的储存、保存和销售要求。

Edge detection is one of the challenging problems in image processing. Four different classical edge detection methods—Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, and Canny—and type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic-based edge detection methods are applied to analyze two separate datasets with various properties. The datasets are STARE which contains medical images of the retina and BIPED which contains images of the street. Furthermore, two separate hybrid fuzzy logic methods are implemented. The type-1 and type-2 fuzzy inference techniques are combined to produce the hybrid-1 and hybrid-2 approaches, using the "AND" and "OR" logic operators. We compare the simulation results for each technique using three different image quality metrics. These are Mean Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR), and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM). The type-2 fuzzy technique outperformed the hybrid-1 fuzzy method in visual quality metrics comparison, demonstrating superior blood vessel recognition on the STARE retinal image dataset—a dataset that more closely resembles the human visual system. Using the BIPED street image dataset, the hybrid-1 fuzzy approach outperformed the Roberts method. The hybrid-1 fuzzy technique showed good results in the second order for both kinds of datasets. Any data and general applications can take advantage of it.

Potato peels (PPs) were utilized for removal of malachite green (MG) from aqueous solutions. The adsorbent underwent characterization through attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), point zero charge (pHPZC) X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The removal of MG was found to be significantly influenced by pH, temperature, contact time, and initial concentration. Temperature and particle size were determined to have lesser influence compared to other factors. The adsorption process lasted for 120 minutes, with rapid removal occurring within the first 60 minutes. Adsorption kinetics were analyzed using the Elovich, pseudo first order, and pseudo second order models. The pseudo second order model was found to be more suitable for the kinetic study. Isotherm modeling was conducted using the Temkin, Freundlich, and Langmuir isotherms. Due to the exothermic nature of the study, the Freundlich and Langmuir models were found to be highly compatible. The maximum adsorption capacity was determined as 37.8 mg/g at 41°C. ATR-FTIR analysis revealed the involvement of hydroxide and carbonyl groups in the adsorption process. Overall, this study concluded that PPs is promising adsorbent for removal of MG from aqueous solutions.

In recent years, there is growing interest for evaluation of urban flood risks of cities over the past decade due to rapid urbanization and climate change. The optimal flood risk assessment is strategically achieved not only with classical risk modelling approaches but also with holistic and comprehensive framework. This paper focuses on a detailed flood assessment providing risk database for policymakers and urban planners to decide the flood prone areas in Turkey. In this context, the Entropy based VIKOR (VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje) was provided to evaluate a range of flood risk criteria named number of floods, population density and number of buildings, flood protection area which are under the concept of risk dimension including “hazard, exposure and vulnerability” aspects. Computational results demonstrate that the provinces of Şanlıurfa, Ordu, Zonguldak and Van are assigned with higher urban risk values, respectively and the ranking of the cities was presented with different q values. The findings should support practitioners and researchers for land use planning and risk reduction works as the detailed flood risk evaluation was presented in terms of the flood management.

The findings should support practitioners and researchers for land use planning and risk reduction works as the detailed flood risk evaluation was presented in terms of the flood management.","PeriodicalId":17899,"journal":{"name":"Konya Journal of Engineering Sciences","volume":"335 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140468143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
The way of life, consumption habits, urbanization rate, type of energy production and increasing energy need with growing economies and population progressively promote the GHGs emissions to Earth’s atmosphere. GHGs consisting of CH4, N2O, CO2, H2O and HFCs cause the climate change, disrupting ecological balance, melting glaciers with global warming in the last decades. Therefore, the issues of future prediction and reduction of GHGs emissions became crucial for policy makers of Turkey and other countries under the international protocols and agreements. This article aims to present the prediction and 8-year future forecasting of CH4, N2O and CO2 emissions of Turkey using past annual data between years 1970 and 2018 with grey, autoregressive integrated moving average and double exponential smoothing models. Based on the results, the best prediction performance is reached by DES model followed by ARIMA and GM for all the emissions. MAPEs calculated from the available data and prediction by DES model from 1970 to 2018 are 0.285, 0.355 and 0.408 for CH4, N2O and CO2 in turn. DES future estimations of CH4, N2O and CO2 at 2026 year are determined as 50700 kiloton of CO2 eq., 38100 thousand metric ton of CO2 eq., and 512000 kilotons.
随着经济和人口的增长,生活方式、消费习惯、城市化率、能源生产类型和日益增长的能源需求都在逐步促进温室气体向地球大气层的排放。过去几十年来,由 CH4、N2O、CO2、H2O 和 HFCs 组成的温室气体导致气候变化,破坏生态平衡,冰川融化,全球变暖。因此,根据国际议定书和协议,未来预测和减少温室气体排放问题对土耳其和其他国家的决策者至关重要。本文旨在利用 1970 年至 2018 年的过去年度数据,采用灰色、自回归综合移动平均和双指数平滑模型,对土耳其的甲烷、一氧化二氮和二氧化碳排放量进行预测和未来 8 年的预测。结果表明,DES 模型的预测效果最佳,其次是 ARIMA 模型和 GM 模型。根据现有数据计算得出的 MAPE 和 DES 模型从 1970 年到 2018 年对 CH4、N2O 和 CO2 的预测值分别为 0.285、0.355 和 0.408。根据 DES 预测,2026 年 CH4、N2O 和 CO2 的未来排放量分别为 50700 千吨 CO2 当量、38100 千吨 CO2 当量和 512000 千吨 CO2 当量。
