The healthy and efficient operation of these networks depends on the prediction of failures, their early detection and the rapid recovery of the resulting failures. The causes of failure are internal and external factors. Many studies in different sectors that use different techniques for failure prediction in the literature. The use of artificial intelligence techniques, which are becoming increasingly important today, in failure estimates; in terms of estimation success and effectiveness, it brings many privileges compared to other techniques. In this study, a status prediction model has been developed by using artificial neural network (ANN) technique for power outages and healthy working conditions of the electricity distribution network installed in Salihli district of Manisa province. In previous studies, using artificial intelligence techniques in the energy sector generally focused on one component of network, lifetime, energy demand estimation, battery life and goods failures. The effect of meteorological factors has not been studied on the distribution network situation using artificial intelligence techniques. In this study we use hourly power outages and hourly meteorological factors that cause failures or healthy conditions. It is aimed to effective risk management and make anticipation of power outage occurring in electricity transmission network, to make preventive maintenance for failures, to make suggestions for early intervention and shortening downtime and maintenance.","PeriodicalId":9652,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Universitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88535991","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, gram negative and gram positive bacteria were used to determine in vitro antibacterial activities of the propolis samples. The most potent inhibitory effect against the target microorganisms was obtained from IP1. The most resistant strains were Burkholderia cepacia, Citrobacter freundii and Streptococcus pneumoniae for all the propolis samples. But, the antibacterial activity levels of the samples were quite different from each other. These results indicate that propolis can be assessed in different areas such as cosmetic, medicine and food as an antimicrobial agent.","PeriodicalId":9652,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Universitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"42 1","pages":"143-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81048452","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}

Superflab, Super Stuff pink wax and Paraffin wax bolus materials are used with 15MeV electron energy for dosimetric comparison. Additionally, 10 mm thick Super Stuff pink wax bolus and paraffin wax bolus materials were placed on the right eyelid of a patient. Using electron dose calculation algorithm and ion chamber measurements, dosimetric comparisons were made in the Eclipse treatment planning system (TPS). Both for measured and calculated dose, values were acquired 3 times and averaged for each case. Resulting differences are expressed as percentage differences. Dose differences were obtained in measurements with and without using bolus at several locations of the solid phantom, performed by the Roos Ion chamber. Dosimetric differences of 7-7.5% for Superflab, 10-10.5% for paraffin bolus and 13-14% for Super Stuff pink wax bolus are obtained. Besides, when dosimetric comparisons are made in the treatment planning system for cases with and without bolus; Dose differences were calculated to be 2-2.5% for superflab silicon bolus, 3-3.5% for paraffin wax bolus and 5-6% for Super Stuff pink wax bolus. To increase skin dose in curved anatomical structures in radiotherapy, it is safe to use the paraffin wax bolus material in radiotherapy clinic, as an alternative to Superflab silicon bolus and Super Stuff pink wax bolus materials, due to its low cost and ease of conforming to body surface contours.","PeriodicalId":9652,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Universitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"246 1","pages":"201-205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73244286","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}

Various formulations have been made which can affect the size and polydispersity index of the nanoparticles and the process variables have been investigated. These formulation and process variables are defined and optimized to obtain the smallest particle size. The concentration of chitosan polymer and crosslinker concentration were studied as formulation variables. Mixing speed, mixing time, pH, sunlight effect, sonication time and sonication power parameters were selected as process variables. In the experiments performed for one parameter all other parameters are kept constant. The optimum conditions were determined by the effect of formulation and process variables on particle size and polydispersity index. For characterization of chitosan nanoparticles; Zeta-Sizer, UV-Vis, FTIR and SEM analytical techniques were used. Optimum conditions found at 50 W, 5 min, 30-10 pulse adjustment with sonicator device, chitosan:TPP mass ratio 5:1, pH value of 5 and with sunlight. After the optimum conditions obtained BSA loading is performed and characterization studies carried out.
