Utilization of Waste for Energy Generation in Clinker Production: Environmental Perspective

TUNÇEZ, Fatma Didem

Meeting the increasing energy need from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas caused the rapid depletion of natural resources. In a world where the need for energy is constantly increasing and resources are getting scarce, it is necessary to ensure the sustainability of energy. Clinker production is a process which require high amount of energy in manufacturing industry. The fact that energy is mostly obtained from coal, which is a non-renewable fuel, puts the future of the sustainability of cement production at risk. Alternative fuel usage plays the most important role in achieving m ...Daha fazlası

Using Group Reading Instruction As An Alternative To Explicit Grammar Instruction To Teach English Grammar

ALTINBAŞ, Mehmet Emre

Throughout the history of English Language Teaching, teaching grammar has been one of the most important concepts. Different approaches, methods and techniques have been put forward regarding different ways of teaching grammar. Discovery learning and integrating grammar teaching with reading are among these ways through which English grammar can be taught. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a group reading instruction technique as an alternative to the traditional application of explicit teaching at a private university in Turkey. The study was carried out as an experimental ...Daha fazlası

Measurement of D-meson production versus multiplicity in p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV

KARASU UYSAL, Ayben | ALICE Collaboration

Abstract: The measurement of prompt D-meson production as a function of multiplic- ity in p–Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02TeV with the ALICE detector at the LHC is re- ported. D0, D+ and D∗+ mesons are reconstructed via their hadronic decay channels in the centre-of-mass rapidity range −0.96 < ycms < 0.04 and transverse momentum interval 1 < pT < 24 GeV/c. The multiplicity dependence of D-meson production is examined by either comparing yields in p–Pb collisions in different event classes, selected based on the multiplicity of produced particles or zero-degree energy, with those in pp collisions ...Daha fazlası

Water level change of lakes and sinkholes in Central Turkey under anthropogenic effects

DEMİR, Vahdettin | ÜLKE KESKİN, Aslı

Determining water level changes in lakes is significant for sustainable water supply planning, flood control, water resource management, and economic development with ecosystem sustainability. Trend analysis is a commonly used tool for detecting changes in hydrologic time series of quantities such as lake level, precipitation and temperature. Trend analysis of meteorological variables is very important for assessing the long-term changes in lake levels. This study examines long-term changes in the lakes in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey. Kızören and Timraş sinkhole lakes and Lakes Tuz a ...Daha fazlası

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and ischemiamodified albumin levels in intensive care COVID-19 Patients

YÜCEL, Kamile | GÜRBÜZ, Ali Fuat

Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) and healthy controls. To our knowledge, this is the first study investigate HIF-1α and IMA levels in COVID-19 patients in ICUs and comparing them with a healthy control group. For this reason, our study is original and will contribute to the literature. Methods: A total of 70 intensive care patients diagnosed with COVID-19, and 72 healthy controls were included in the study. Results: When we ...Daha fazlası

Molecular characterization and subtyping of Blastocystis in urticarial patients in Turkey

Objective: To investigate Blastocystis’ etiologic role and association with gastrointestinal symptomatology in acute and chronic urticaria patients and to identify Blastocystis subtypes responsible for urticaria. Methods: The study included urticaria patients and healthy individuals that presented to our polyclinic between June 2015 and May 2017. The participants were assigned into Group I (137 patients), subdivided into acute (72) and chronic urticaria patients (65), and Group II (129 control individuals). Blastocystis presence was investigated by native-Lugol examination, trichrome staining, ...Daha fazlası

The effects of aflatoxin B1 on growth hormone regulated gene-1 and interaction between DNA and aflatoxin B1 in broiler chickens during hatching

GÜLBAHÇE MUTLU, Elif | ARSLAN, Emine | ÖZNURLU, Yasemin | ÖZPARLAK, Haluk

Many types of aflatoxin cause problems for both public and animal health. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most toxic and commonly encountered fungal toxin that appears in poultry feed and in feeds stored under unsuitable conditions. AFB1 decreases feed quality, egg production and fertility of hatching eggs. Also, AFB1 alters the development of embryos by infecting eggs. We investigated using sequence analysis the changes caused by different concentrations of AFB1 on the promoter sequences of the growth hormone regulated gene-1 (GHRG-1) in chick embryo at 13, 17, 19 and 21 days incubation. DNA isola ...Daha fazlası

Constraining the magnitude of the Chiral Magnetic Effect with Event Shape Engineering in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV

KARASU UYSAL, Ayben | ALICE Collaboration

In ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, the event-by-event variation of the fluctuations in the shape of the initial state of the system. This allows to select events with the same centrality but different initial geometry. This selection technique, Event Shape Engineering, has been used in the analysis of charge-dependent two- and three-particle correlations in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV. The two-particle correlator ⟨cos(φα − φβ )⟩, calculated for different combinations of charges α and β, is almost independent of v2 (for a given centrality), while the three-particle correlator ⟨c ...Daha fazlası
