Article Rare Earth Elements in the Global Economy: Usage, Recovery, and the Quest for Supply Security – A Review(Springer Heidelberg, 2026) Top, Soner; Ayten, Asim Mustafa; Altiner, Mahmut; Demir, Idris; Kursunoglu, SaitOften described as the vitamins of modern industry, rare earth elements (REEs) are indispensable for the deployment of low-carbon and clean energy technologies. However, ensuring a secure and sustainable REE supply remains a major challenge due to the strong interdependence between application-driven demand, extraction and processing technologies, and the geopolitical concentration of resources. This review adopts an integrated analytical framework in which these three dimensions are treated as interconnected components shaping the resilience of global REE supply chains. First, the major application sectors of REEs are examined to clarify how emerging energy and advanced manufacturing technologies drive demand for specific elements and amplify their strategic importance. Second, extraction and processing technologies are reviewed in relation to both primary and secondary resources, highlighting how technological maturity, process selection, and material characteristics constrain or enable supply expansion. Finally, geopolitical and strategic aspects of the REE supply chain are analyzed to demonstrate how resource concentration, policy instruments, and international dependencies directly influence technological deployment and industrial competitiveness. By explicitly linking application-driven demand, technological pathways for extraction and processing, and geopolitical supply structures within a unified framework, this review provides a coherent understanding of the systemic challenges facing the REE sector and identifies key leverage points for improving the robustness and sustainability of REE supply chains in the context of the global clean energy transition.Article Machine Learning for V2X-Enabled Microgrids: A Bibliometric and Thematic Review of Intelligent Energy Management Applications(Springer Heidelberg, 2026-03-09) Dogan, Yasemin; Unlu, RamazanModern power systems are evolving due to convergence of electric mobility, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy integration. Electric vehicles serve as dynamic, mobile energy storage units playing a vital role in ensuring resilient microgrid operations, via vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology. However, despite the rise of machine learning (ML) in energy management, much of the existing literature remains fragmented lacking a holistic perspective across all facets of V2X-enabled microgrids. This study fills this gap by conducting a systematic bibliometric and thematic analysis of 310 articles obtained from Web of Science (2013-2024). By combining bibliometric mapping with thematic synthesis, the research identifies dominant and emerging ML techniques-ranging from reinforcement learning to federated learning-and evaluates their roles in microgrid management. The study highlights underexplored areas, including decentralized coordination, encouraging prosumer participation, understanding user behavior, safeguarding cybersecurity, improving real-time optimization, and the effective integration and adaptation of V2X technology within microgrid ecosystems. These gaps emphasize the need for interdisciplinary research and policy frameworks to address the social dimensions of future energy systems. Beyond a comprehensive overview, this paper proposes a research roadmap integrating technical, social, and policy dimensions. It offers actionable guidance for researchers, stakeholders aiming to unlock the potential of intelligent, human-centered, and socially inclusive energy ecosystems. Furthermore, the findings align with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7, 11, and 13), while also creating a positive impact on humanity by supporting the well-being of both society and the planet. Ultimately, this reinforces the indispensable role of ML in advancing the zero-carbon transition.Article Citation - WoS: 29Citation - Scopus: 32Wind Farm Site Selection Using GIS-Based Multicriteria Analysis With Life Cycle Assessment Integration(Springer Heidelberg, 2024-01-19) Demir, Abdullah; Dincer, Ali Ersin; Ciftci, Cihan; Gulcimen, Sedat; Uzal, Nigmet; Yilmaz, KutayThe sustainability of wind power plants depends on the selection of suitable installation locations, which should consider not only economic and technical factors including manufacturing and raw materials, but also issues pertaining to the environment. In the present study, a novel methodology is proposed to determine the suitable locations for wind turbine farms by analyzing from the environmental perspective. In the methodology, the life cycle assessment (LCA) of wind turbines is incorporated into the decision process. The criteria are ranked using analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The study area is chosen as the western region of Turkiye. The obtained suitability map reveals that wind speed is not the sole criterion for selecting a site for wind turbine farms; other factors, such as bird migration paths, distance from urban areas and land use, are also crucial. The results also reveal that constructing wind power plants in the vicinity of Izmir, canakkale, Istanbul, and Balikesir in Turkiye can lead to a reduction in emissions. Izmir and its surrounding area show the best environmental performance with the lowest CO2 per kilowatt-hour (7.14 g CO2 eq/kWh), to install a wind turbine due to its proximity to the harbor and steel factory across the study area. canakkale and the northwest region of Turkiye, despite having high wind speeds, are less environmentally favorable than Izmir, Balikesir, and Istanbul. The findings of LCA reveal that the nacelle and rotor components of the wind turbine contribute significantly (43-97%) to the environmental impact categories studied, while the tower component (0-36%) also has an impact.Correction Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1The Influence of Cement Kiln Dust on Strength and Durability Properties of Cement-Based Systems(Springer Heidelberg, 2022-06-15) Hakkomaz, Hadiye; Yorulmaz, Hediye; Durak, Ugur; Ilkentapar, Serhan; Karahan, Okan; Atis, Cengiz DuranArticle Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13The Impact and Future of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Genetics and Molecular Medicine: An Ongoing Revolution(Springer Heidelberg, 2024-08) Ozcelik, Firat; Dundar, Mehmet Sait; Yildirim, A.

Many companies are improving processor operating principles to increase performance. The most common methods for this purpose are speculative execution and cache usage. While these techniques improve performance, they also introduce certain security vulnerabilities. Spectre is an attack that exploits vulnerabilities created by speculative execution, affecting all modern processor architectures. Research has shown that using machine learning to detect these attacks can be quite effective, although the features are typically gathered at the software level, which may limit detection since some performance parameters are not conveyed to the software. This study presents an analysis of Spectre attacks and their detection using machine learning and deep learning methods at the hardware level. Experiments are conducted using GEM5, a full-system hardware simulator, to ensure that only hardware-visible performance parameters are also collected. Attack detection is performed using Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) methods. The LSTM method is used in conjunction with SVM and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) techniques, and all models were tested on a new dataset, Spec17Tre, created using "519.lbm" from the SPEC CPU2017 benchmarks. The study achieved a 95% accuracy rate in attack detection using the LSTM + CNN hybrid model, which also yielded an F1 score of 0.999 for detecting applied Spectre attack scenarios.Article Citation - WoS: 35Citation - Scopus: 29Microstructural Analysis of Low-Calcium Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer Concrete With Different Ratios of Activator and Binder Under High Temperatures(Springer Heidelberg, 2024-06-25) Kucukgoncu, Hurmet; Ozbayrak, AhmetGeopolymer concretes have emerged as an alternative to traditional Portland cement concretes with high strength, good durability, well corrosion performance and high-temperature resistance, and being a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. In this study, a comprehensive microstructural analysis of low-calcium fly ash-based geopolymer concrete samples with different alkali activator to binder ratios was conducted after exposure to temperatures ranging from 400 to 800 degrees C. The experimental results of the geopolymer concrete specimens found out significant findings, including a notable loss of mass and an approximate 80% decrease in compressive strength after exposure to 800 degrees C. The microstructural analysis underlined crack formation, voids and porosities in the geopolymer matrix at elevated temperatures, affecting the physical and mechanical properties of the material. The study presents significant insights into the behaviour of low-calcium fly ash-based geopolymer concrete with different binder and alkali activator ratios under high temperatures, revealing the performance of geopolymer concretes in extreme environments and the effect of incompatibility between geopolymer concrete and aggregate due to thermal temperature effects on this performance.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Measurements of Flow Characterization Revealing Transition to Turbulence Associated With the Partial Flexibility-Based Flow Control at Low Reynolds Number(Springer Heidelberg, 2024-07-26) Koca, Kemal; Keskin, Sinem; Sahin, Rumeysa; Veerasamy, Dhamotharan; Genc, Mustafa SerdarIn order to comprehend the flow characteristics of both controlled and uncontrolled SD7062 wind turbine airfoils with local flexible membrane material throughout a variety of angles of attack at a Reynolds number of 1.05 x 105, an experimental investigation was conducted. The time-dependent force measurement, the hot-wire experiment with a boundary layer and glue-on probes, and the oil-flow visualization technique were all utilized in the present study to measure the flow over the airfoil and examine the laminar-turbulent transition, laminar separation bubble, and the impact of a special flow control method that uses flexibility. A comprehensive intermittency analysis by utilizing hot-wire results was employed to obtain the flow physics effects of the local flexibility the first in the literature. The key results of the experiment demonstrated that the stall was delayed from alpha = 10 degrees to 12 degrees by the local flexibility. The hot-wire results are dedicated to laminar, transitional and turbulent regions and the transition phenomena at different locations over the suction surface of the airfoil in the analysis graphs. As demonstrated by the results of the oil-flow visualization experiment, in the uncontrolled case, the laminar separation bubble formed over the airfoil at alpha = 8 degrees between x/c = 0.16 and x/c = 0.42. The use of flexible membrane material over the airfoil provided that the oscillation of this material triggered the transition to turbulence and a bypass transition, which resulted in the reattached flow.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Dynamics of Fuzzy Difference Equations System With Higher-Order(Springer Heidelberg, 2025-03-19) Topan, Osman; Yazlik, Yasin; Atpinar, SevdaThere are few studies in the literature that focus on two-dimensional higher-order fuzzy difference equations, leaving a considerable gap in our understanding of their behavior and dynamics. This highlights the necessity to investigate this field in order to answer fundamental concerns and broaden its possible uses.This study looks into the existence, uniqueness, boundedness, persistence, and convergence of positive solutions to a two-dimensional system of higher-order fuzzy difference equations. These qualities are crucial to understanding the system's behavior and stability.Theoretical analysis is used to rigorously establish the aforementioned system features. To validate the efficiency and application of the theoretical results, numerical simulations are provided, exhibiting the behavior and supporting the study's findings.Article Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 20Convenient Site Selection of a Floating PV Power Plant in Türkiye by Using GIS-Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process(Springer Heidelberg, 2024-02-28) Karipoglu, Fatih; Koca, Kemal; Ilbahar, EsraFloating photovoltaics (FPVs) are appearing as a promising and an alternative renewable energy opinion in which PV panels are mounted on floating platforms in order to produce electricity from renewable energy on water such as seas, dams, rivers, oceans, canals, fish farms, and reservoirs. So far, such studies related to the body knowledge on financial, technical, and environmental aspects of installation of FPV have not been performed in Turkey while expanding steadily in other countries. In this study, suitable site selection for installation of FPV power plants on three lakes in Turkey was studied by performing geographic information system (GIS) and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) as multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. This detailed study revealed that the criterion of global horizontal irradiance (GHI) was determined as the most crucial criterion for the installation of FPV on Beysehir Lake, Lake of Tuz, and Van Lake. Additionally, it was clearly seen that the Beysehir Lake had the highest value approximately 52% among other lakes for installation, that is why Beysehir Lake is selected as the best option for installation of an FPV system with this multi-criteria approach.
