A total of 144 spectra of edible oil samples, including extra virgin olive oil (VOO), hazelnut oil (HNO), cottonseed oil (CSO), sunflower oil (SFO) and soybean oil (SBO), was recorded. The feasibility of ATR–FTIR with multivariate data analysis for discrimination of extra VOOs from other edible oils was also evaluated. Classification of edible oils was performed using principal components analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and soft independent modeling of class analogies (SIMCA). The spectra collected from wavelength region of 4000–650 cm-1 and 28 different wavelength ranges selected from full spectra were evaluated for optimal classification models. All multivariate analysis provided excellent discriminations between the edible oil classes with low classification error. LDA models constructed with five predictors, and a total of 100% of edible oil samples from different trademarks were correctly classified. Furthermore, no misclassification was reported for the discriminant analysis in supervised SIMCA models with an accuracy of 95%. Consequently, ATR–FTIR spectroscopy combined with multivariate data analyses provides excellent illustrations of the relative positions of the different brands of commercial edible oils according to their quality and purity.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"165 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80405908","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 effects of independent variables such as particle size, ultrasound power density, impregnation rate, impregnation time, activation temperature and activation time for the production of suitable activated carbons were investigated by experiments with partial factorial design and central composite design. At the end of the adsorption experiments, activated carbons were evaluated by their adsorption capacities. In addition, the results were statistically modelled and optimized using a constrained optimization program via Matlab computer software. Optimum preparation conditions were obtained as follows particle size 1.75 mm, ultrasound power/volume 2 W/L, impregnation ratio 0.0168 g/mL, impregnation time 132 min, activation temperature 661°C and activation time 71,5 min, following with maximum adsorption capacity was found as 82,9 mg Cu2+/g Ac. On the basis of the distribution coefficient (Kd), the selectivity sequence for the multi-ion system of the prepared activated carbons is generally Cu+2 > Zn+2 > Ni+2. As a result, ultrasound-assisted prepared activated carbons can be used effectively to selectively adsorb Cu+2 from multiple ion systems.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75155800","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, this transfer function is obtained by linearizing aircraft dynamic model at a certain operation point (altitude and speed). However, aircraft have varying stability derivatives, therefore dynamic behavior, for different flight phases such as take-off, cruise, and landing. Thus, the stability investigation of the characteristic equation can be said to be valid only for a certain flight condition. In reality, stability derivatives have varying values depending on flight conditions. Therefore, an analysis including all possible values of stability derivatives in the flight envelope is required to guarantee stability. In this study, two most varying stability derivatives in the transfer function were taken as uncertain parameters. Gridding these two parameters to check the stability of the UAV for all possible flight conditions can be thought as a method, but it is very time-consuming, and it cannot assure the stability theoretically. A new simple approach, guaranteeing stability under the uncertainty of two stability derivatives, is developed by using the Edge and Bialas theorems. Here, the problem of the investigation of the stability under the uncertainty of two stability derivatives is reduced to the analysis of four polynomials. Thus, the stability characteristics of an airplane for a given flight envelope can be easily determined by just looking at the eigenvalues of the matrices obtained from these four polynomials.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"113 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80541092","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}

FS prominently increased the voltammetric response of CPE towards EST. The parameters that affect the volmametric performance of modified CPE were examined to find the optimal conditions. Modified electrode showed a linear response towards EST between the concentration values of 0.1 mM and 15.0 mM EST. Limit of detection value for the method developed was calculated as 0.023 mM. Production reproducibility of the modified electrode was obtained as 3.6 %. The voltammetric behavior of EST was also examined in the presence of different possible substances to evaluate their interference effects. The modified electrode successfully discriminated the oxidation potential of EST in the presence of different substances. The determination of EST was tested in milk and pharmaceutical samples to evaluate the analytical performance of the method. The recovery analysis of EST in milk samples showed that the modified electrode can be used safely in these samples. The modified electrode also achieved the determination of EST in pharmaceutical samples.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82070517","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}

In recent times, gantry cranes are considered as a dependable choice in terms of handling capacity, effectiveness, timeliness and safety. However, positioning of a trolley to the desired set point as fast as possible within minimum time without overshoot and payload induced oscillation have remained obstacles in crane dynamic control. Several control algorithms have been proposed, tested and implemented based on classical control. Recently, vision control has been introduced in the field of mechatronics as a bridging gap with little or no impact. In this paper, a vision based software control model is proposed such that webcam serves as a capturing sensor and the National Instrument LabVIEW is used as a programming tool for both image processing and crane control. Subsequently, the results of the proposed algorithm are experimentally validated by step increase in the trolley position. According to the results analysis, it is evident that the webcam performance is at an optimum level when compared with the installed sensor in positioning the trolley and minimizing the payload oscillation.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81155696","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 beams were made as three layers using functionally graded materials with Zirconia (ceramic) and Aluminum (metal) systems. The order of the layers of the beams was designed using L9 orthogonal array depending on Taguchi Method and thus nine different beam configurations were used. Analysis of signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio was performed to determine the effects of optimum levels of layers on the thermal stress characteristic. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was evaluated to carry out the meaningful layers and the percentage contributions of the layers on the thermal stress response. According to the results, the most effective layers on responses were found to be Layer 1 with 75.70 % contribution, Layer 2 with 21.05 % contribution, and Layer 3 with 3.23 % contribution respectively. In addition, the increase of Young's modulus and Thermal expansion values of the layers lead to the thermal stress results of axially layered functionally graded beams.

The annual data of the largest companies in the country based on the company performances, sectoral changes, ownership structure and value adding levels are examined below. Trend analysis for sectoral development is made and sectors are classified as rising and falling based on their performances. The data illustrates that the country replaces high value adding sectors with the low value adding ones. The value adding analysis confirms these results. It is also interesting to see that the share of the state rapidly decreases over time while the share of the private ownerships and foreign companies rise rapidly. A trend analysis is also employed for the changes in ownership structure and the results are presented. The overall results depict that the country is becoming a more industrialized; however, new policies and incentives are needed to increase the value adding in each sector.","PeriodicalId":7757,"journal":{"name":"Anadolu University Journal of Science and Technology-A Applied Sciences and Engineering","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84066674","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}
