    Selective Leaching of a Mixed Nickel-Cobalt Hydroxide Precipitate in Sulphuric Acid Solution With Potassium Permanganate as Oxidant
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2020-10-12) Hussaini, Shokrullah; Ichlas, Zela Tanlega; Top, Soner; Kursunoglu, Sait; Kaya, Muammer
    Selective leaching of a mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide precipitate was investigated using potassium permanganate as oxidant in sulfuric acid solution. 94.9% Ni, 50% Co and 0.6% Mn were dissolved under the following conditions: sulfuric acid concentration of 0.75 M, potassium permanganate of 5 g/L, temperature of 30 degrees C, leaching duration of 60 min, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1/10, and stirring speed of 400rpm. The pregnant leach solution was subjected to a solvent extraction process. 98% Co and 99% Mn were extracted at pH 4.84 with 30% (v/v) Cyanex 272, leaving essentially all nickel in the raffinate. Based on the experimental results, a flowsheet is proposed.

    Revisiting the Relationship Between Natural Gas Consumption and Economic Growth in Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2015-01-12) Dogan, E.
    The objective of this study is to re-analyze the relationship between natural gas consumption (NGC) and economic growth (GR) for Turkey in a multivariate framework by including capital and labor as additional variables because several papers suggest that a bivariate model can suffer from omitted-variables bias. As compared to the findings of Isik (2010), who previously investigated the short-and long-run relationships between GR and NGC using a bivariate model, we find that the magnitude of the coefficient estimate of NGC become substantially smaller in the long-run and the sign of short-run estimate of NGC shift to negative after accounting for capital and labor as well. In addition to that covered by Isik (2010), we investigate the direction of causality between GR and NGC using the vector error correction model Granger causality approach, and reveal the evidence of feedback hypothesis for Turkey.

    Parabolic and Cubic Acceleration Time Integration Schemes for Nonlinear Structural Dynamics Problems Using the Method of Weighted Residuals
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2016-01-20) Cilsalar, H.; Aydin, K.
    Two algorithms are proposed for direct time integration of an equation of motion of structural dynamics problems. The performance of the proposed methods is examined by evaluating stability, order of accuracy, numerical dissipation, and algorithmic damping. The results show that critical time for instability of the proposed algorithms is larger than those of conditionally stable methods. The numerical dissipation is shown to be explicitly less than other methods. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are non-dissipative in the low-frequency range and have favorable damping in mid-and high-frequency regimes. Three examples are carried out to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

    Model-Centric Distribution Automation: Capacity, Reliability, and Efficiency
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2016-02-26) Onen, Ahmet; Jung, Jaesung; Dilek, Murat; Cheng, Danling; Broadwater, Robert P.; Scirbona, Charlie; Wang, Xiaoyu
    A series of analyses along with field validations that evaluate efficiency, reliability, and capacity improvements of model-centric distribution automation are presented. With model-centric distribution automation, the same model is used from design to real-time control calculations. A 14-feeder system with 7 substations is considered. The analyses involve hourly time-varying loads and annual load growth factors. Phase balancing and capacitor redesign modifications are used to better prepare the system for distribution automation, where the designs are performed considering time-varying loads. Coordinated control of load tap changing transformers, line regulators, and switched capacitor banks is considered. In evaluating distribution automation versus traditional system design and operation, quasi-steady-state power flow analysis is used. In evaluating distribution automation performance for substation transformer failures, reconfiguration for restoration analysis is performed. In evaluating distribution automation for storm conditions, Monte Carlo simulations coupled with reconfiguration for restoration calculations are used. The evaluations demonstrate that model-centric distribution automation has positive effects on system efficiency, capacity, and reliability.

    Immunomagnetic Separation of B Type Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells from Bone Marrow With Flow Cytometry Validation and Microfluidic Chip Measurements
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2020-10-22) Icoz, Kutay; Eken, Ahmet; Cinar, Suzan; Murat, Aysegul; Ozcan, Servet; Unal, Ekrem; Deniz, Gunnur
    In order to detect the blast cells from bone marrow of patients, one strategy is to first isolate the cells using immunomagnetic beads. The aim of this study was to report the experimental results of the immunomagnetic separation efficiency of the blast cells from bone marrow of pediatric leukemia patients. To test the efficiency of immunomagnetic separation, flow cytometry measurements at critical steps were performed. We here reported 94.5% capture efficiency for CD10 nano beads. Patients samples were also analyzed with a microfluidic chip to test the feasibility for further developments.

    How Renewable Energy Consumption and Natural Resource Abundance Impact Environmental Degradation? New Findings and Policy Implications From Quantile Approach
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2021-02-17) Altinoz, Buket; Dogan, Eyup
    The EKC literature has ignored the importance of natural resources on environmental degradation. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the impact of renewable energy consumption and the abundance of natural resources on CO2 emissions for a panel of 82 countries by using quantile regressions. Empirical results show that renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions and its effect increases in higher quantiles. The impact on carbon emissions of natural resource abundance is negative at lower quantiles but positive at medium and higher quantiles. Also, the validity of the EKC hypothesis is confirmed for all quantiles, and an increase in trade openness and urbanization increases environmental degradation in lower and middle quantile levels; however, these determinants have negative impacts on carbon emissions at higher quantiles. Policy implications related to this outcome are further discussed in the study.

    Exploring the Binding Capacity of Lactic Acid Bacteria Derived Bacteriocins Against RBD of SARS-CoV Omicron Variant by Molecular Simulations
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2023-01-02) Erol, Ismail; Kotil, Seyfullah Enes; Ortakci, Fatih; Durdagi, Serdar
    The changes in the SARS-CoV-2 genome have resulted in the emergence of new variants. Some of the variants have been classified as variants of concern (VOC). These strains have higher transmission rate and improved fitness. One of the prevalent were the Omicron variant. Unlike previous VOCs, the Omicron possesses fifteen mutations on the spike protein's receptor binding domain (RBD). The modifications of spike protein's key amino acid residues facilitate the virus' binding capability against ACE2, resulting in an increase in the infectiousness of Omicron variant. Consequently, investigating the prevention and treatment of the Omicron variant is crucial. In the present study, we aim to explore the binding capacity of twenty-two bacteriocins derived from Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) against the Omicron variant by using protein-peptidedocking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The Omicron variant RBD was prepared by introducing fifteen mutations using PyMol. The protein-peptide complexes were obtained using HADDOCK v2.4 docking webserver. Top scoring complexes obtained from HADDOCK webserver were retrieved and submitted to the PRODIGY server for the prediction of binding energies. RBD-bacteriocin complexes were subjected to MD simulations. We discovered promising peptide-based therapeutic candidates for the inhibition of Omicron variant for example Salivaricin B, Pediocin PA 1, Plantaricin W, Lactococcin mmfii and Enterocin A. The lead bacteriocins, except Enterocin A, are biosynthesized by food-grade lactic acid bacteria. Our study puts forth a preliminary information regarding potential utilization of food-grade LAB-derived bacteriocins, particularly Salivaricin B and Pediocin PA 1, for Covid-19 treatment and prophylaxis.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

    Economic Evaluation of Distribution System Smart Grid Investments
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2014-12-31) Onen, Ahmet; Cheng, Danling; Broadwater, Robert P.; Scirbona, Charlie; Cocks, George; Hamilton, Stephanie; Roark, Jeffrey
    This article investigates the economic benefits of smart grid automation investments. A system consisting of 7 substations and 14 feeders is used in the evaluation. Here benefits that can be quantified in terms of dollar savings are considered, termed "hard dollar" benefits. Smart grid investment evaluations to be considered include investments in improved efficiency, more cost effective use of existing system capacity with automated switches, and coordinated control of capacitor banks and voltage regulators. These smart grid evaluations are sequentially ordered, resulting in a series of incremental hard dollar benefits. Hard dollar benefits come from improved efficiency, delaying large capital equipment investments, shortened storm restoration times, and reduced customer energy use. Analyses used in the evaluation involve hourly power flow analysis over multiple years and Monte Carlo simulations of switching operations during storms using a reconfiguration for a restoration algorithm. The economic analysis uses the time-varying value of the locational marginal price. Algorithms used include reconfiguration for restoration involving either manual or automated switches and coordinated control involving two modes of control. Field validations of phase balancing and capacitor design results are presented. The evaluation shows that investments in automation can improve performance while simultaneously lowering costs.

    Development of High-Performance Nanostructured Aluminum and Its Constitutive Modeling
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2023-10-11) Deka, Surja; Mozafari, Farzin; Mallick, Ashis; Thamburaja, Prakash; Gupta, Manoj
    A new technique, an in-situ hot-extrusion-based synthesizing process, is proposed to develop high-performance nanocrystalline aluminum (nc-Al) with an optimally tuned strength-to-ductility ratio suitable for various technologically relevant applications. Comprehensive investigations are conducted by characterizing mechanical and microstructural properties to realize the influence of various synthesizing variables on the properties of the bulk nc-Al. Furthermore, a continuum-scale constitutive modeling approach is proposed based on dominant microstructural mechanisms of plastic deformation and implemented into a finite element solver using a user-defined material interface. It is shown that the proposed theory can provide a versatile platform to predict the nanocrystalline aluminum mechanical response quite well.
