Öğe An exergy analysis of a concentric tube heat exchanger using hBN-water nanofluids(Inder Science Publishers, 2021) Budak Ziyadanoğulları, Neşe; Perçin, SüleymanThis study investigated the effects of using nanofluids prepared with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles on the thermal performance and pressure drop of a concentric tube heat exchanger. Experiments were carried out with water-hBN nanofluids for stable, dispersed, 0.01%, 0.1% and 1% volume concentrations, at different flow rates and Reynolds numbers under parallel and counter-flow conditions. When the experimental results were examined, the exergy loss was higher in the parallel-flow heat exchanger compared to the counter-flow heat exchanger. The highest exergy loss value was obtained for distilled water at the highest Reynolds number (Re = 8,700) for parallel flow operation at 170 W. The exergy loss of water at the highest Reynolds number (Re = 8,700) for parallel flow operation increased by 15.7%, 24.8% and 49.8% for hBN-water concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1% and 1%, respectively. Exergy loss of water at the highest Reynold number (Re = 8,700) for counter flow operation increased by 11.3%, 17.3% and 29.2% for hBN-water concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1% and 1%, respectively. When evaluating the exergy analysis of the system, exergy losses due to pressure drops were negligible for both flows (parallel and counter).Öğe The effect of intrapreneurship and organizational factors on the innovation performance in hospital(Expert Projects, 2018-09) Ekingen, Erhan; Ekemen, Mehmet Ali; Yıldız, Ahmet; Korkmazer, FuatIn the context of environmental uncertainty and competition, organizations are trying to find new ways to improve their performance.

Methods: Rats were divided into three equal groups of 6 animals each: Group 1 controls, group 2 treated with DMBA (100 mg/kg, single dose) and group 3 receiving the DMBA and the aqueous extract at 100 mg/kg/d for 60 days. Results: Significant decrease in catalase (P<0.05), carbonic anhydrase (p≤0.01), reduced glutathione (GSH) (P<0.01) and total protein (P<0.01) values was observed in the DMBA group compared with the healthy controls and DMBA + Plantago major groups. Conclusion: The results suggest preventive effects of Plantago major on DMBA induced oxidative damage in Wistar albino rats that might be due to decreased free radical generation.Öğe Morphological, structural and optical characteristics of graphene oxide layers and metal/interlayer/semiconductor photovoltaic diode application(National Institute of Research and Development for Optoelectronics, 2018) Güllü, Ömer; Çankaya, MuratThis work describes the optical, morphological and structural characterizations of graphene oxide (GO) layers grown by drop casting and annealing process. UV-vis optical measurement shows that the values of direct and indirect optical gap energy of the GO film are 3.89 eV and 3.21 eV, respectively. The graphene oxide (GO) layer has been placed in the metal/ interlayer /semiconductor (MIS) diodes (total 17 devices) on p-Si wafers. The graphene oxide diodes give a better barrier height enhancement as compared with the conventional diodes. The value of homogeneous barrier height for Al/GO/p-Si MIS junctions was extracted as 0.74 eV. The diodes were also investigated under 300 watt light illumination for photovoltaic applications. Additionally, interfacial properties of the MIS diode with GO interlayer were determined. It has been seen that the capacitance of the device changes as a function of gate voltage and signal frequency from the capacitance-frequency measurements. It has also been reported that the interfacial trap charges reduce the capacitance with increasing frequency values.Öğe The characteristic diode parameters in Ti/p-InP contacts prepared by DC sputtering and evaporation processes over a wide measurement temperature(World Scientific, 2017-06) Ejderha, Kadir; Asubay, Sezai; Yıldırım, Nezir; Güllü, Ömer; Türüt, Abdülmecit; Abay, BahattinThe titanium/p-indium phosphide (Ti/p-InP) Schottky diodes (SDs) have been prepared by thermal evaporation and DC magnetron sputtering deposition. Then, their current-voltage (I-V) characteristics have been measured in the sample temperature range of 100-400K with steps of 20K. The characteristic parameters of both Ti/p-InP SDs have been compared with each other. The barrier height (BH) values of 0.824 and 0.847 at 300K have been obtained for the sputtered and the evaporated SDs, respectively. This low BH value for the sputtered SD has been attributed to some defects introduced by the sputtered deposition technique over a limited depth in to the p-type substrate. The BH of the evaporated and sputtered diodes has decreased with the standard deviations of 58 and 64mV obeying to double-Gaussian distribution (GD) in 220-400K range, respectively, and it has seen a more sharper reduction for the BHs with the standard deviations of 93 and 106 mV in 100-220K range. The Richardson constant values of 89.72 and 53.24A(Kcm)-2 (in 220-400K range) for the evaporated and sputtered samples, respectively, were calculated from the modified ln(I0/T2)-q2σs2/2k2T2 vs (kT)-1 curves by GD of the BHs. The value 53.24A(Kcm)-2 for the sputtered sample in high temperatures range is almost the same as the known Richardson constant value of 60A(Kcm)-2 for p-type InP.Öğe Simultaneous electrochemical evaluation of ascorbic acid, epinephrine and uric acid at disposable pencil graphite electrode: Highly sensitive determination in pharmaceuticals and biological liquids by differential pulse voltammetry(Elsevier, 2018) Levent, Abdulkadir; Önal, GünayAim and Objective: As is known, AA, EP and UA can also coexist in biological fluids. Therefore, the determination of the levels of these compounds in biological fluids is extremely important both for the diagnosis and treatment of the related diseases. In the presence of many interfering substances in biological fluids such as blood and urine samples, it is very important that these compounds can be selectively analyzed. Materials and Methods: All electrochemical experiments were performed using an Autolab PGSTAT 128N potentiostat. Before beginning the electrochemical measurements, the PGE was activated. The electrochemical pretreatment of PG was exercised by anodically +1.40 V for 60 s. Then, measurements were performed with CV (-0.4 V to 1.2 V) and DPV (-0.2 V to 0.7 V) for single and simultaneous voltammetric behaviour of AA, EP, and UA in the electrochemical method. Results: The anodic peak potentials of AA and UA were observed at about +0.32 V and +0.62 V, respectively. On the other hand, for EP, while anodic peak potential was observed at about +0.53 V, in the reverse scan, cathodic peak potentials were observed at about +0.41 V and +0.007 V. The39 reduction peak observed at +0.3 V with the oxidation peak observed at +0.53 V are the reversible peaks. In the method developed for the electrochemical simultaneous determination of AA, EP and UA using PGE with DPV technique in BR buffer solution (pH 4.0), the anodic peak potentials are sufficiently separated from each other. Conclusion: A voltammetric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of AA, EP and UA with PGE for the first time. Here, the most important thing is that the simultaneous determination of AA, EP and UA was successfully achieved with that targeted voltammetric method which was sensitive, low-cost, practical and well-repeated; and that these were proven to be selectively applicable in pharmaceutical products and biological liquids.Öğe Chemical constituents and biological activities of cirsium leucopsis, c. sipyleum, and c. eriophorum(Walter de Gruyter, 2015-03-19) Boğa, Mehmet; Köseoğlu Yılmaz, Pelin; Barış Cebe, Deniz; Fatima, Mashhad; Siddiqui, Bina S.; Kolak, UfukTwo endemicCirsiumspecies,C. leucopsisDC. andC. sipyleumO. Schwarz, andC. eriophorum(L.) Scop. growing in Turkey were investigated to establish their secondary metabolites, fatty acidcompositions, and antioxidant and anticholinesterase potentials. Spectroscopic methods were usedto elucidate the structures of thirteen known compounds (p-hydroxy-benzoic acid, vanillic acid,cis-epoxyconiferyl alcohol, syringin, balanophonin, 1′-O-methyl-balanophonin, apigenin, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, taraxasterol, taraxasterol acetate,β-sitosterol,β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside).cis-Epoxyconiferyl alcohol and 1′-O-methyl-balanophonin were isolated for the first time fromCirsiumspecies. Palmitic acid (47.1 %) was foundto be the main fatty acid ofC. leucopsis, linoleic acid in bothC. sipyleum(42.1 %) andC. eriophorum(37.8 %). Assays ofβ-carotene bleaching, scavenging of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) freeradicals, 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium (ABTS) cation radicals,and superoxide anion radicals, as well as cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) were usedto determine the antioxidant activities of the extracts and isolated compounds. Vanillic acid, balano-phonin, and kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Taraxa-sterol was a potent inhibitor of acetyl- and butyrylcholinesterase activity, respectively.Öğe Electrical properties of safranine T p Si organic inorganic semiconductor devices(Cambridge University, 2010-04-25) Güllü, Ömer; Asubay, Sezai; Biber, Mehmet; Kılıçoğlu, Tahsin; Turut, AbdulmecitWe investigated the current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of identically prepared safranine T/p-Si organic/inorganic Schottky devices (total 26 diodes) formed by evaporation of organic compound solution on p-Si semiconductor substrate. It was seen that the safranine T organic thin film on the p-Si substrate showed a good rectifying behavior. The barrier heights and ideality factors of all devices were extracted from the electrical characteristics. The mean barrier height and mean ideality factor from I-V measurements were calculated as 0.59±0.02 eV and 1.80±0.20, respectively. Also, the mean barrier height and mean acceptor doping concentration from C-V measurements were calculated as 0.67±0.10 eV and (6.96±0.37)×1014 cm-3, respectively. The discrepancy in the barrier height values obtained from I-V and C-V characteristics has been attributed to different nature of the measurements. The discrepancy between these values can also be due to the existence of the interfacial native oxide and the organic safranine T thin layer between the semiconductor substrate and top contact metal.Öğe Room temperature I–V and C–V characteristics of Au/mTPP/p-Si organic MIS devices(The European Physical Journal Applied Physics, 2018-05-02) Güllü, Ömer; Pakma, Osman; Özden, ŞadanThe room temperature electrical characteristics of the organic Au/mTPP/p-Si device fabricated by spin coating method were investigated with I–V and C–V measurements. It has been determined that the device has a high rectification coefficient and current transport is dominated by the thermionic emission. The serial resistance value is calculated at 92 ohms with two different approaches. Serial resistance effects were also found to be effective in C–V and G–V measurements. The different barrier heights from the I–V and C–V measurements indicate possible interface and trap states or barrier inhomogeneities.Öğe Method validation and simultaneous determination of retinol, retinyl palmitate, β-Carotene, α-Tocopherol and vitamin C in Rat serum treated with 7,12 dimethylbenz[a]anthracene and plantago major L.

High-performance liquid chromatography analysis was performed utilizing an Inertsil ODS3 reversed phase column with methanol-tetrahydrofuran-water as mobile phase under gradient conditions, at 1.5 mL min-1 flow rate and 25 °C. Diode-array detection was at 325, 450, 290 and 270 nm (retinol and retinyl palmitate), β-carotene, α-tocopherol and vitamin C, respectively and runnig time 18 min. The high-performance liquid chromatography assay and extraction procedure proposed are simple, rapid, sensitive and accurate. The method was then applied for the determination of retinol, retinyl palmitate, β-carotene, α-tocopherol and vitamin C in rat serum. Results of this study demonstrated that; at 60th day DMBA-treated group, there was a significant decrease in vitamin levels compared to the levels of control group. A significant increase was observed in vitamin levels of 7,12 dimethylbenz[a]anthracene+Plantago Major L.-treated group compared to the DMBA-treated group. Additionally, the results obtained in the study are found to be in agreement with data reported in the literature.
