In the silk industry, sericin is removed from the structure of fibroin during the degumming process in order to provide the silk's whiteness, softness, and smoothness and also to make it dyeable. Sericin, which is separated from the fibroin of the cocoon by the degumming process in the textile industry in the production of silk fabric, is discarded as waste material. This waste helps cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation in sericin-based materials, owing to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity features. Due to all these specific features, sericin protein is involved in the production of various biomaterials such as films, hydrogels, scaffolds, conduits, fibers, and devices used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 7Starch(Elsevier, 2023) Köksel, Hamit F.; Muti, Serpil Ozturk; Kahraman, KevserStarch is the major source of carbohydrates in the human diet. It occurs in most plants in granules, which are usually between 1 and 100µm in diameter, depending on the plant source. Starch is the major component in cereals, comprising 60%-75% of the grain weight. Besides its nutritive value, starch is a valuable component because it affects the physical properties of foods. Different starches have characteristic features, varying in molecular structure, morphological properties, crystallinity, gelatinization and pasting, and enzyme digestibility. In recent years, modified starches and enzyme-resistant starches have also gained importance because of their functional benefits in foods. In addition, starch is an important industrial raw material in products like syrups, ethanol, textiles, and paper. This chapter explains the molecular structure of starch, its physical, physicochemical, and functional properties, as well as modified and resistant starches, focusing on the starches in cereal grains. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Properties of Alkali-Activated Lightweight Concrete(Elsevier, 2022) Top, S.; Altiner, Mahmut; Vapur, HüseyinThis chapter presents a brief overview of the properties of alkali-activated lightweight concrete. Nowadays, the production of lightweight concrete has great attentions due to its extraordinary advantages such as reduced mass, improved sound and thermal insulation properties. Furthermore, the low gas emissions and the utilization of waste materials increase the importance of alkali-activated lightweight concrete. In this chapter, the strengths of lightweight concrete were examined by considering the aggregate type and density, the alkali activator type and concentration, the type of fiber reinforcements and foaming agents, which are the factors that have the most impact on the strengths. Thermal conductivity, fire resistance, acoustic performance, and durability properties have been explained considering the key points in the literature. In addition to porosity, it has been determined that one of the most important factors directly affecting the fire resistance is the precursor type. It has been concluded that the fire resistance of the concrete prepared by using K-based precursors is higher. Acoustic performances of alkali-activated lightweight concrete vary. It is necessary to use a high amount of aggregate in order to obtain concretes with wide frequency ranges and high absorption coefficient. Contrary to concrete produced from Portland cement, alkali-activated concrete is more resistant to acid and sulfate attacks, since the formation of gypsum and strength is less. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Pleiotropic Molecular Effects of Dietary Polyphenols Resveratrol and Apigenin in Leukemia(Elsevier, 2018) Adan, Aysun; Oğuz, OsmanResveratrol and apigenin are commonly found polyphenols in many fruits and vegetables and recognition of these dietary polyphenols for human health owing to their biological and pharmacological features including antiinflammatory and antioxidative functions has increased recently. In addition to direct antioxidative effects, they have impacts on various important signaling pathways dysregulated in cancer, genetic and epigenetic regulators, transcription factors and even on miRNAs as anticarcinogenic compounds. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated their pleiotropic molecular mechanisms of action in cancer, particularly in solid tumors. However, in recent years, significant progress has been made in studying the antileukemic effects of resveratrol and apigenin at the cellular and molecular levels. Herein, we have critically discussed the main molecular targets of resveratrol and apigenin and their promising potential as chemopreventive agents as well as their limitations, with a special emphasis on leukemias. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Paper-Based Substrates for Sustainable (OPTO)Electronic Devices(Elsevier, 2022) Usta, Hakan; Facchetti, A. F.Cellulose-based paper has been a convenient eco-friendly platform for storing and exchanging information for thousands of years.

We also thoroughly discuss remaining challenges and promising research directions with paper-based substrates for future advancements in green optoelectronics. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 50Citation - Scopus: 52Monitoring the Rhizopus Oryzae Lipase Catalyzed Hydrolysis of Castor Oil by ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy(Elsevier, 2015-03) Khaskheli, Abid Ali; Talpur, Farah N.; Ashraf, Muhammad Aqeel; Cebeci, Aysun; Jawaid, Sana; Afridi, Hassan ImranA rapid and environmental friendly Attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic method was developed for monitoring the Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) catalyzed hydrolysis of castor oil in oil-in-water emulsion system. A calibration curve was constructed using partial least square (PLS) model by gravimetric addition of oleic acid (10-50%) in castor oil to detect the carbonyl absorption of free fatty acids (FFA) in the region (1690-1730 cm(-1)). The correlation co-efficient (R-2) and root mean square error of calibration (RMSEC) by PIS model were found to be 0.999 and 0.316, respectively. ROL was found to be an efficient biocatalyst to produce free fatty acids (FFA) from castor oil. Factors affecting the rate of hydrolysis such as enzyme concentration (0.01%, w/v), pH (7), temperature (37 degrees C), oil-water ratio (1:4) and reaction time (12 h) were optimized. Under all set of conditions the ROL effectively hydrolyzed castor oil up to 90% yield of fatty acids. The methodology is fairly environmental friendly in both cases, i.e. using lipase for hydrolysis of castor oil and analyzing the product through FTIR spectroscopy. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

We detail methodologies such as power flow-based approaches, probabilistic techniques, and machine learning algorithms, with sample applications of HC calculations. Initially, we focus on power flow-based methods based on simulating power distribution network(s) to assess system voltage, current flow, and stability impacts from DER installations. Then, we will give the probabilistic approaches that use uncertainties in renewable generation and consumer demand, based on statistical techniques and Monte Carlo simulations aiming to reflect these variability. Machine learning (ML) techniques will also be given based on analyzing large data sets, detecting patterns, and predicting system responses. These kinds of methods include regression analysis and neural networks trained on historical data for optimized HC predictions. It should be stated that HC is impacted by several factors, such as network topology, load profiles, and DER characteristics, and these as well will be discussed. We will provide a practical example of an HC calculation on a 141-node distribution network using a step-by-step algorithm in Matpower, with simulation results based on an iterative deterministic method. Then, we will give the broader implications of HC assessments for grid modernization and energy policy, highlighting how accurate calculations support a more decentralized, sustainable, and resilient energy future. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
