This is with a view to proffering recommendations that will aid the achievement of sustainable development in the area. To achieve this, a ring of 100 meter radius was delineated around the abattoir, and a landuse inventory was done. Thereafter, observation and measurement was done daily in the abattoir for a month, excluding Sundays that operations were not carried. Observations made include daily numbers of cow killed, the volume of wastewater utilised in the slaughter slab, and characteristics of the semisolid waste disposed daily. To assess the impact of the abattoir, water samples were obtained from point of discharged (POD) of waste water to the stream, 30 meters, 60 meters and 90 meters on the course of the stream. Also samples were obtained from a well each, found within 30 meters, 60 meters, and 90 meters from the abattoir. The obtained water samples were tested for pH, Conductivity, Lead, Dissolved Oxygen, Cadmium, and bacterial content such as salmonella sp. and E.coli, using the procedure of Magaji and Chup, (2012). Obtained data were subjected to descriptive statistics such as frequency count and percentage. Tables were also used to summarise data. The closest landuse to the abattoir is a 40 km stream with the setback of 2.6 meters. This setback is used as waste dump. In the abattoir, an average of 19 cows are killed daily. For this operation, an average of 1153.7 litres of wastewater is generated and discharged into the nearby stream. Hence the pH value of the stream is 5.20, 5.35, 5.41 and 5.40 respectively at POD, 30 meter, 60 meters and 90 meters respectively. Also, the concentration of Lead (Fe2+) in water samples is higher than FEPA limits of 0.01mg/l. The study recommends relocation of abattoir, urban renewal of abattoir area, and encouragement of residents and butchers to visit hospital for medical checkups. The study therefore concludes that sustainable environmental management cannot be achieved without effective landuse planning.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43161121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Defects such as gaps, cracks and macro-porosities were observed in specimens, sintered at temperatures of 1200 °C and 1250 °C for all dwell times. It was proved that sintering temperature of 1350 °C was as high as it caused insert to get deformed and melted. As a result, the optimum sintering temperature and dwell time were determined to be 1300 °C and 240 min, respectively, at which the highest hardness, compression strength, and sintered density were obtained without any defects such as cracks or gaps.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47338483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electronic band structures are shifted up in Y–Γ and Γ–X symmetry points under pressure. The partial density of the states indicates that hybridization occurs between W-d and P-p orbitals and also W–d orbital is dominated at all pressures. It is obtained that the mechanical properties of WP are increased with the increasing pressure. Additionally, the WP becomes more ductile under pressure. According to phonon dispersions, it is investigated that WP is dynamically stable under pressure.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42547743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Feature selection techniques search the entire feature space to find an optimal feature set that is free of redundant and irrelevant features. Reducing the dimensionality of a dataset by removing redundant and irrelevant features has a pivotal role in improving the performance, i.e., accuracy, of inductive learners and building simple models. Thus, feature selection is an imperative task of machine learning. The apparent need for feature selection raised considerable interest and became an important research topic in a wide range of fields, including bioinformatics, text classification, image recognition, and computer vision. As a result, a large pool of feature selection methods has been proposed, and a considerable amount of literature has been published on feature selection. The quality of feature selection algorithms is measured not only by the performance of the features they prefer but also by their stability. Therefore, this study focuses on two topics: feature selection and feature selection stability. In the pages that follow, general concepts and methods of feature selection are discussed and then an overview of feature selection stability and stability measures are given.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45172651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the damage of fossil fuels to nature and the depletion of fossil fuels over time, energy production from clean and inexhaustible renewable energy sources has become widespread. Wind energy, one of the renewable energy sources, is a clean energy source that does not emit any harmful waste to the environment. Wind energy is a low-cost energy source that is mostly used for electricity generation. Criteria such as wind speed, turbine structure, and the characteristics of the areas where the wind turbines will be located are effective on the amount of energy to be produced. In this study, a comprehensive review of the studies using MCDM methods related to wind energy is made. In the manner of the statistical data obtained from the 97 studies examined, it has been observed that the wind energy investments of the countries and the scientific publications made in these countries do not progress linearly with each other. The fact that countries have different wind energy potentials and the difference in the countries' interest in renewable energy sources is thought to be effective in this regard. While there are articles in the literature in which studies on renewable energy sources are discussed together with MCDM methods, there is no comprehensive review study in which wind energy and MCDM methods are discussed together. According to our best knowledge, this is the first study to comprehensively evaluate wind energy studies in terms of multi-criteria decision-making methods. With this study, a framework has been presented for subsequent studies on the application of MCDM methods in wind energy.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42044956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A wide range of biomaterials is currently in use as TE scaffolds. Among these materials, naturally-sourced ones are favourable due to being highly biocompatible and supporting cell growth and function whereas synthetic ones are advantageous because of the high tunability on mechanical and physical properties as well as being easy to process. Alongside the advantages of synthetic polymers, they mostly show hydrophobic behaviour that limits biomaterial-cell interaction and consequently the functioning of the developed TE constructs. In this study, we assessed the impact of L-Ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA2P) on improving the culture of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) growing on a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold made of polycaprolactone by emulsion templating technique. Our results demonstrated that AA2P enhances the metabolic activity, growth, and collagen production of HDFs when supplemented to their growth medium at 50 µg/mL concentration. It showed a great potential to be used as a growth medium supplement to circumvent the disadvantages of culturing human cells on a synthetic biomaterial that is not favoured in default. AA2P's potential to improve cell growth and collagen deposition may prove an effective way to culture human cells on 3D PCL PolyHIPE scaffolds for various TE applications.","PeriodicalId":12615,"journal":{"name":"gazi university journal of science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46138010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
