Mammillaria prolifera is a cactus species from the Cactaceae family, commonly known as Texas nipple cactus. Experiments were realized for aqueous extracts of four different Mammillaria prolifera fruits. The results indicate that the aqueous extract solution of cactus fruit has outstanding anti-corrosive performance of over 90% at the optimum concentration of 0.120% (w/v). In addition to electrochemical experiments, FE-SEM surface images were taken as another indicator of high inhibition. The results showed that the mild steel surface immersed in the inhibited electrolyte solution at 298 K after one-hour exposure did not contain cracks, pits or deformations compared to the inhibitor-free surface. As a result, experimental measurements and FE-SEMsurface images support each other.","PeriodicalId":143980,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Science Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138984570","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 energy calibration of the EXOGAM2 detector system with the newly developed NUMEXO2 digital electronic device was conducted using both low and high gamma energy levels of a 152Eu radioactive source. This calibration was carried out for two EXOGAM2 detectors, and the energy resolution of each crystal in the EXOGAM2 system was determined. The energy resolution of each crystal was found to be similar to the previously measured energy resolution values of the EXOGAM2 detectors. Therefore, the use of the digital electronic device NUMEXO2 did not affect the energy resolution of the detectors, but it did enable us to acquire data at a high counting rate.","PeriodicalId":143980,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Science Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139255181","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}

However, as technology advances and philosophical inquiries deepen, the limitations of this venerable law have become evident, particularly in scenarios involving near-zero resistance. This paper introduces a novel formulation-the modified Ohm’s Law; that not only rectifies the pitfalls of the conventional law but also harmonizes physics with philosophical principles. Motivated by the paradoxical projection of infinite current at zero resistance and the philosophical implications of deriving infinity from the finite, the modified equation emerges as a bridge between empirical insights and logical coherence. Through a rigorous mathematical derivation, theoretical examination, and computational analysis, we demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of the modified Ohm’s Law across diverse scenarios, ranging from semiconductor devices to high-current applications. In reconciling scientific rigor with philosophical consistency, this paper advances our understanding of electrical circuitry and beckons a new era of precision in analysis. Further, the modified Ohm’s Law paves the way for deeper explorations that resonate through the realms of physics and philosophy, reshaping the landscape of our understanding.","PeriodicalId":143980,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Science Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281680","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}

This property makes TMDs an ideal material for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications due to their strong optical absorption and photoluminescence effect. The WS2, a popular TMD, has unique properties such as low friction coefficient, high thermal stability, and good electrical conductivity, and a bandgap energy of approximately 1.2 eV and 2.2 eV for indirect and direct behaviors. The article also discusses various methods for synthesizing WS2, including chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), hydrothermal synthesis, and solvothermal synthesis. PVD is a scalable method for producing large-area films and coatings with high quality, but the difficulty of controlling the sulfur or selenium sources in this method leads to the need for optimizing growth parameters for large-scale and high-quality WS2 film synthesis. The study reports the successful growth of large-scale and homogeneous WS2 films on a glass substrate using PVD and optimized substrate temperature. The results of this study provide valuable information for the advancement of WS2 film growth techniques and the development of WS2-based semiconductor technologies, such as transistors, diodes, photodetectors, and solar cells.","PeriodicalId":143980,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Science Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114126772","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 adsorption method was used for the removal of Maxilon Yellow 4GL dyestuff. Cherry laurel leaf (Prunus laurocerasus) and waste potato peels were used as adsorbent, and the removal efficiency was determined as 76.64% at pH 7 and with 2 g adsorbent, 80% dyestuff removal efficiency was achieved in the specified conditions for cherry laurel leaves. For experiments in which waste potato peels were used as adsorbent, the optimum conditions were found as follows: Contact time: 60 minutes, adsorbent concentration of 0.75 grams and initial concentration of 25 mg/L. The Freundlich isotherm model was suitable for our study, since the regression number was found to be 0.999 for cherry laurel leaves and 0.995 for waste potato peels as a result of isotherm studies. According to the cost analysis, the materials supplied free of charge, due to mixing, the electricity cost for treatment (0.128 TL) and the chemical material cost is 17 TL, and it has been determined that these adsorbents are quite economical in dyestuff treatment.
