Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is an inorganic salt. It is a crystal well known for its luminescent properties, with a simple cubic structure and its band gap is rather large (~ 8.5 eV). In this work, it was reported the TL response of the material in the range of 50– 400 o C and calculated kinetic parameters of sea salt. Two glow peaks were observed at 100 o C and 235 o C in the TL glow curve of sea salt with a heating rate 2 o C/s after X-ray irradiation. The T m -T stop method was used to determine the overlapping peaks under the main peak at 100 o C. With the computerized glow curve deconvolution (CGCD) method, the peak analysis was performed. In addition, kinetic parameters were calculated using various heating rates and peak shape. The b = 1.5, E = 0.88 eV and s = 1.7x10 11 s -1 values were calculated using the peak shape method.","PeriodicalId":9652,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Universitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"375 1","pages":"845-849"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77536154","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}

T he effect of material length scale parameter ζ and the Poisson’s ratio υ on the natural frequencies are determined and represented in table form and graphically. Besides, dimensionless natural of frequency of nanobeam are investigated by taking into account various system parameters. The results of the system show that the size influence is very crucial for extremely thin beams with a height of nanoscale dimension. Besides, the outcome of the system shows that the beam modeled considering non-classical continuum theory is stiffer than those of classical one.","PeriodicalId":9652,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Universitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"215 1","pages":"893-899"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89202064","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}

Due to sophisticated enzyme production especially high proteolytic and lipolytic activities, some of the yeast species play an essential role in many processes such as fermentation, ripening, production of aroma precursors and deterioration in dairy product indicating these products as a source of extracellular enzyme producer yeast strains. In this study, butter samples were collected from delicatessens and grocery stores in different locations in Izmir province in order to isolate enzyme producers. A total of 40 yeast strains were isolated and investigated for their lipase, protease and amylase activities on solid medium consisting of tributyrin, skim milk and starch, respectively. Sixteen yeast isolates were found to be positive for enzyme production. Lipase and protease activities were observed in 11 yeast strains (68,75%), while only one yeast strain (6,25%) was found to be positive for protease and amylase production. 4 of yeast strains (25%) were able to produce only lipase enzyme. Molecular characterization of the yeast strains based on 26S rRNA region D1/D2 domains revealed that the isolates belonged to Candida zeylanoides (62,5%) and Pichia fermentas (37,5%) species.","PeriodicalId":9652,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Universitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"60 1","pages":"833-837"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82316386","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}

An efficient and effective test plan should be implemented to detect potential errors as early as possible. In the earlier phases, codes can be analyzed by efficiently employing software metric and insight can be gained about error susceptibility and measures can be taken if necessary. It is possible to classify software metric according to the time of collecting data, information used in the measurement, type and interval of the data generated. Considering software metric depending on the type and interval of the data generated, object-oriented software metric is widely used in the literature. There are three main metric sets used for software projects that are developed as object-oriented. These are Chidamber & Kemerer, MOOD and QMOOD metric sets. In this study, an approach for identifying the classes that should primarily be tested has been developed by using the object-oriented software metric. Then, this approach is applied for selected versions of the project developed. According to the results obtained, the correct determination rate of sum of the metrics method, which was developed to identify the classes that should primarily be tested, is ranged between 55% and 68%. In the random selection method, which was used to make comparisons, the correct determination rate for identifying the classes that should primarily be tested is ranged between 9.23% and 11.05%. In the results obtained using sum of the metrics method, a significant rate of improvement is observed compared to the random selection method.","PeriodicalId":9652,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Universitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"6 1","pages":"863-871"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79790349","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 polynomial shape functions for axial, transverse deflections and the rotation of the cross-section are presented. The validation and convergence studies are performed by solving symmetric and anti-symmetric cross-ply composite beam problems with various boundary conditions and aspect ratios. The numerical results in terms of mid-span deflections, axial and shear stresses are obtained to make comparison with previous studies and to investigate the accuracy of the present study. The effects of fiber angle, lay-up and aspect ratio on displacements and stresses are studied. The static response of the various laminated composite sandwich structures which have symmetric lay-up based on the various boundary conditions, fiber angles and thickness ratios is also studied.

In this study, a total of 30 mobile phones and owner hands (30) were screened for Staphylococci and E. coli contamination in various departments at Mustafa Kemal University. For this purpose, samples were taken from the mobile phones and index fingers and thumbs of dominant hands of randomly selected 30 students studying at various departments at Mustafa Kemal University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli colonization were screened in these samples, and their susceptibility to 11 antimicrobials in different groups. And, oxacillin salt agar screening test was performed to detect methicillin resistance. Microplate (MP) method, Congo Red Agar (CRA) method and Standard Tube (ST) method were used to determine biofilm formation. A questionnaire about mobile phone usage habits was also applied to statistically investigate whether the colonization depends on the usage. According to our results, E. coli colonization was no found in any sample, while 31 samples were isolated as Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CoNS) and 2 samples as Staphylococcus aureus . Out of 30 samples collected from the mobile phones of the students, 53.3% was found as CoNS and 3.3% as S taphylococcus aureus . Whereas, among 30 samples collected from the hands of the students, CoNS was isolated in 50% and Staphylococcus aureus 3.3% of the samples.
