1.02 - Polyphenols, Bioavailability and Potency
(Elsevier, 2022) Ozdal,T.; Kamiloglu,S.
Polyphenols are plant secondary metabolites comprising of a large class of compounds, which can be broadly classified as flavonoids including flavonols, flavones, flavanones, flavanols, isoflavones, anthocyanins and non-flavonoids including phenolic acids, tannins, stilbenes, and lignans. Polyphenols have important health-promoting effects according to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anticancer properties, among others. Importantly, the health-promoting effect of polyphenols greatly depend on their bioaccessibility and bioavailability in the digestive tract and circulatory system. Due to their consequences for bioavailability and human health, the interactions between dietary components, particularly phenolic compounds and gut microbiota, have gained significant attention. An overview of the reciprocal relationship between all subclasses of phenolic compounds and gut microbiota is presented in this chapter, as well as the importance of such interactions to bioavailability and human health. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

(int Scientific Conference Sgem, 2010) Kahriman, Ali; Kahriman, Ali; Makine / Machinery
Ground vibrations arising from excavation with blasting is one of the environmental problems in mining industry. The prediction of ground vibrations and the realization of controlled blasting based on this prediction have a great importance in order to minimize the environmental effects of blasting. The purpose of this study is to analyze the ground vibrations induced by blasting at Akyol Quarry which selected as a test site after the determination of the geomechanical properties of the rock mass with a computer software (AUTODYN 3D) that is able to model three dimensionally. During the field study, samples were taken from the different regions of the quarry. On these samples, geomechanical properties of the intact rock samples were determined. Then, geomechanical properties of the rock mass were estimated. In the numerical modeling stage, four main numerical models were prepared in the AUTODYN software by using the data obtained from the field and laboratory studies. The data obtained from these model runs was compared to the data obtained in the field measurements. As a result of this comparison, the model that would be used for future studies was selected.

(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2024) Khosravı, Arezoo; Zarepour, Atefeh; Khosravi, Arezoo; Iravani, Siavash; Zarrabi, Ali; Genetik ve Biyomühendislik / Genetic and Bio-Engineering
The advent of three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) printing technologies has significantly improved the fabrication of advanced materials, with MXene-based composites emerging as a particularly promising class due to their exceptional electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. This review explores the fundamentals of MXenes and their composites, examining their unique characteristics and the underlying principles of their synthesis and processing. We highlight the transformative potential of 3D and 4D printing techniques in tailoring MXene-based materials for a wide array of applications. In the field of tissue regeneration, MXene composites offer enhanced biocompatibility and mechanical strength, making them ideal for scaffolds and implants. For drug delivery, the high surface area and tunable surface chemistry of MXenes enable precise control over drug release profiles. In energy storage, MXene-based electrodes exhibit superior conductivity and capacity, paving the way for next-generation batteries and supercapacitors. Additionally, the sensitivity and selectivity of MXene composites make them excellent candidates for various (bio)sensing applications, from environmental monitoring to biomedical diagnostics. By integrating the dynamic capabilities of 4D printing, which introduces time-dependent shape transformations, MXene-based composites can further adapt to complex and evolving functional requirements. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, identifies key challenges, and discusses future directions for the development and application of 3D and 4D printed MXene-based composites. Through this exploration, we aim to underscore the significant impact of these advanced materials and technologies on diverse scientific and industrial fields. This review highlights the developments in the 3D/4D printing of MXene-based composites, focusing on their application in tissue regeneration, drug delivery, sensing, and energy storage.

3D FEA of Hollow and Solid Design Zirconia Dental Dowels
(Wiley, 2016) Kayahan, Mehmet Baybora; Ozkurt-Kayahan, Zeynep; Yay, Kubilay; Kazazoglu, Ender
PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution of hollow and solid design zirconia dowels. Materials and MethodsFinite element analysis (FEA) was used to investigate the influence of different dowel designs on the stress distribution of zirconia dowels. The coronal diameter of the dowel was 2.2 mm, the apical diameter was 1.8 mm, and the length was 15 mm. The diameter of the hollow space was 1.2 mm. Occlusal forces (both parallel and oblique) of 100 N were applied from the wider edge of the dowels simulating loads acting on the incisor during clenching and incising. The results were expressed in terms of von Mises criteria. ResultsFEA revealed differences in stress distribution. During parallel load, the maximum tensile stress of the hollow design (89.40 MPa) was greater than the solid design (43.30 MPa). During oblique load, the maximum tensile stress of the hollow design (1437.90 MPa) was greater than the solid design (917.96 MPa). The maximum deformation was observed in the coronal part of the dowel in both designs under the two load directions. ConclusionsFEA results showed that the hollow design zirconia dowels presented higher tensile stress.

A 3D finite element analysis of stress distribution on different thicknesses of mineral trioxide aggregate applied on various sizes of pulp perforation
(Springer Heidelberg, 2020) Beşiroğlu Turgut, Ekin; Turgut, B.; Akin, H.; Kayahan, M. B.; Kazazoglu, E.; Periodontoloji / Periodontology
Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution on different thicknesses of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) placed on various widths of pulp perforations during the condensation of the composite resin material. Materials and methods The mandibular molar tooth was modeled by COSMOSWorks program (SolidWorks, Waltham, MA). Three finite elemental analysis models representing 3 different dimensions of pulp perforations, 1, 2, and 3 mm in diameter, were created. The perforation area was assumed as filled with MTA with different thicknesses, 1, 2, and 3 mm for each pulp perforation width, creating a total of 9 different models. Then, a composite resin material was layered on MTA for each model. A 66.7 N load was applied and an engineering simulation program (ANSYS, Canonsburg, US) was used for the analysis. Results were presented considering von Mises stress criteria. Results As MTA thickness increased, the stress values recorded within the area between pulp and MTA decreased. Strain was decreased when the thickness of MTA increased. Conclusions Stresses at MTA-pulp interface and strain on MTA decreased with the increase in MTA thickness.

4/3 problem, Poynting theorem, and electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2015) Yarman, Nuh Tolga; Missevitch, Oleg V.; Yarman, Tolga; Enerji Sistemleri Mühendisliği / Energy Systems Engineering
We show that the familiar 4/3 problem originates from the incorrect determination of the momentum of the electromagnetic field generated by an isolated charged particle, which results from an incorrect application of the Poynting theorem to the field. To demonstrate this, we consider a macroscopic problem: splitting a charged oil droplet into two identical smaller droplets in the rest frame K of the original droplet, and in another inertial frame K' moving with respect to K with some constant velocity, and arrive at a physically senseless solution in the framework of the standard approach. To solve this problem in a correct way, we suggest a modified Poynting theorem for an isolated charge and recalculate the momentum of the electromagnetic field of this charge, which yields the usual relativistic relationship between the field energy and momentum. Our approach is not at odds with the idea about "Poincare stresses"; however, in contrast to the standard method, it provides a usual relationship between the "Poincare stress-energy" and the associated momentum stress component. Finally, the continuity equation in four-dimensional form for the case of isolated moving charge is also proposed, which completely resolves the 4/3 problem.

(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Yurdaguven, Gulsah Yenier; Çiftçioğlu, Elif; Kazokoglu, Fatma Sehnaz; Kayahan, Mehmet Baybora; Endodonti / Endodontics
Objectives: This prospective clinical trial evaluated the clinical performance of ceramic partial coverage indirect adhesive restorations (PCIARs) in posterior teeth luted with a light-cured composite resin. Methods: From April 2016 to January 2017, a total of 60 patients (27 males, 33 females; mean age: 42.2 +/- 10.86 years old) received 83 glass-ceramic PCIARs (26 onlay, 57 overlay) made of IPS Emax CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent). All restorations were luted with a light-cured composite resin (Filtek Z250, 3 M ESPE) by two operators. Two independent calibrated examiners blinded to the operators performing the treatment evaluated the restorations at baseline, 1-year, and 5-year following FDI World Dental Federation criteria including esthetic, functional, and biological properties. Data were analyzed with the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon sign test (p p < 0.05). Results: None of the restorations failed due to fracture or retention loss. One restoration was clinically unsatisfactory because of secondary caries. Marginal staining (p:0.000), marginal adaptation (p:0.018) showed significant differences between 1-year and 5-year recall. Conclusions: The PCIARs demonstrated excellent clinical performance at 1-year period. The degradation parameters appeared as minor staining and minor irregularities after 5-year, without any affect on the clinical performance.

ABSTRACT CAPACITY OF REGIONS AND COMPACT EMBEDDING WITH APPLICATIONS
(Springer, 2011) Shakhmurov, Veli
The weighted Sobolev-Lions type spaces W-p,gamma(l) (Omega; E) boolean AND L-p,L-gamma (Omega; E-0) are studied, where E-0, E are two Banach spaces and E-0 is continuously and densely embedded on E. A new concept of capacity of region Omega is an element of R-n in Wp,gamma(l)(Omega; E-0, E) is introduced. Several conditions in terms of capacity of region Omega and interpolations of E-0 and E are found such that ensure the continuity and compactness of embedding operators. In, particular, the most regular class of interpolation spaces E-alpha between E-0 and E, depending of alpha and l, are found such that mixed differential operators D-alpha are bounded and compact from W-p,gamma(l)(Omega; E-0, E) to E-alpha-valued L-p,L-gamma spaces. In applications, the maximal regularity for differential-operator equations with parameters are studied.

Accelerating the reaction process of sodium carbonate-activated slag mixtures with the incorporation of a small addition of sodium hydroxide/sodium silicate
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Yardımcı, Mert Yücel; Ren, Qiang; Aydin, Serdar; Yardimci, Mert Yucel; De Schutter, Geert; İnşaat Mühendisliği / Civil Engineering
This paper investigates the possibility of accelerating the slowly progressive early reaction process of sodium carbonate-activated slag mixtures by adding a small amount of sodium hydroxide or sodium silicate to the so-dium carbonate activator. The reaction process of sodium carbonate-activated slag mixtures was evaluated by isothermal calorimetry and ultrasonic wave technology. Test results showed that adding a small amount of so-dium hydroxide or sodium silicate to the sodium carbonate activator significantly accelerated the reaction process, resulting in shortened setting times and enhanced mechanical properties. Only 1% Na2O contribution from sodium hydroxide addition can lead to a 2-d compressive strength of 20 MPa for sodium carbonate -activated slag mixtures. In addition, the 28 days compressive strength was significantly higher than the sole sodium carbonate activator. The addition of sodium hydroxide or sodium silicate also considerably influenced the rheological behavior of the sodium carbonate-activated slag mixture, enhancing the structural build-up rate and transforming the shear-thinning behavior to Bingham or shear-thickening behavior. A more well-packed microstructure was observed in the mixtures with the addition of sodium hydroxide; however, more micro -cracks were observed in the mixtures with a small incorporation of sodium silicate.

Accessibility of spatial networks: Using ArcGIS network analyst and space syntax to investigate accessibility to urban facilities
(Instituto Superior Tecnico, Departamento de Engenharia Civil, Arquitetura e Georrecursos, 2017) Özer,Ö.
Accessibility is a critical objective in the field of planning, particularly for urban facilities such as education and health services. Among many models and techniques that calculate accessibility, this study focuses on network analyst tool of ArcGIS and space syntax methodology. In the network analysis of ArcGIS, it is possible to calculate service areas for individual urban facilities within given distance/time limits. Space syntax measures on the other hand, help to understand the overall accessibility dynamics of the network. This study aims to associate space syntax based accessibility evaluation and service area measures of ArcGIS in the city of Mersin, Turkey. Mersin is one of the most populated cities of Turkey with more than 1.5 million people. It has a sloping topography which has affected the development of both the road structure and the settlement structure of the city. Apart from the urban centre, there are villages with rural character in mountainous parts of the city that do not have proper access to most urban facilities. Health and education services are of vital importance and access to these facilities is a must for both urban and rural settlements. Therefore, accessibility of these particular facilities within the Mersin Municipal Area is the main focus of this study. In 2015, the Greater Municipality of Mersin initiated the preparation of an urban development plan for Mersin. Urban development plans usually consider accessibility as a means to organize general transportation flows but not as a network issue that would affect individual accessibility of facilities. Therefore, it is important to understand the direction of development in cities before planning them. In order to comprehend development trends and needs of urban facilities, two types of accessibility analyses were carried out in Mersin. Firstly, health and education facilities were assessed using network analysis toolset of ArcGIS, separately for hospitals, school of medicine and small scale health facilities for health services; elementary schools, middle schools and high schools for education services. Secondly, segment based space syntax analysis was executed, in which integration measures were inspected. Comparison and integrated evaluation of results of these two types of analyses are believed to serve to an improved comprehension of the morphological spirit of Mersin. Further analyses on such issues would play a crucial role in planning.
