Due to excellent catalytic performances of metal-based nanoparticles, these materials have been used extensively in various hybrid catalyst synthesis. The main subject of this study, heterogeneous catalysis is a low cost and multi-purpose process for many pollutants. Catalytic degradation of organic pollutants such as; 2-Nitrophenol, Quinolin Yellow and Rhodamine B was investigated by using Ni, Co, Pd nanoparticles modified SiO2 based nanomaterials. The co-doping effect on the prepared nanomaterials has been investigated with different characterization methods in terms of structural and morphological features: scanning electron microscopy, UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and foruier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The highest catalytic reduction efficiencies (97.6% and 97.5%) for 2-nitrophenol and Rhodamine B was obtained by Pd-PEG-AP@SiO2 respectively. The synthesized Co-PEG-AP@SiO2 illustrated higher catalytic reduction efficiency for Quinolin Yellow (70.1%) at the end of 60s. The prepared M-PEG-AP@SiO2 nanomaterial (M: Pd,Co,Ni) can be able to utilized degradation of organic contaminants effectively.","PeriodicalId":9653,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139236046","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 Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP), which is among those harnessing solar power where a stream of air is induced by adding heat through solar irradiation using the greenhouse effect, is rarely utilized for generating power. The hot air flows through the chimney under the effect of buoyancy force which in turn drives a vertical axis wind turbine. Although this technique is investigated by many reports, unfortunately, it is still in the laboratory phase. However, it might be an optimal solution for zones where operating other techniques is not efficient for various reasons. In this project, an SCPP prototype was built and tested in Anbar, a central province in Iraq. The impact of various design parameters on power generation was assessed. The experimental results prove the feasibility of SCPPs for generating electricity at low costs and the suitability of building SCPPs in countries technologically less developed with specific weather conditions and scarcity in water resources that are normally needed for cleaning solar panels, for example.","PeriodicalId":9653,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"21 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139248352","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 traditional medicine, plant extracts including biological active components have been used for therapeutic purposes. We aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of the aqueous seed extract of Momordica charantia (M.charantia) on 9 pathogenic bacteria. The antibacterial activity of the extract was assessed against strains using disc diffusion and broth microdilution tests. A total of 21 constituents were identified from M.charantia seeds. Alcohols, esters, aldehydes, monoterpenes, and monoterpenoids were found as the prevalent groups. The seed extract showed the greatest antimicrobial activity on B.subtilis and S.aureus with an inhibition zone diameter (IZD) value of 15.75±0.50 mm and 15.25±0.957 mm, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) test results ranged from 12.5 to 100 (mg/mL).

The first and second control factors were chosen as applied force and material type, respectively. In the finite element modeling, beams with clamped-free boundary conditions were considered. Determination of optimal levels of all variable control factors was found using signal-to-noise ratio analysis. The contribution rate and significance level of all control factors on the safety factor and equivalent alternating stress were calculated utilizing analysis of variance. According to the results calculated from this study, the optimum results for safety factor and equivalent alternating stress of beams were obtained by using the first levels of all control factors.

Ag nanoparticles made using green chemical techniques were characterized by UV-Visible, , XRD, TEM, Zetasizer and FT-IR. By analyzing the plasmon resonance absorption (SPR) spectra by the UV-Visible technique, the ideal circumstances were identified.

Therefore, the effect of 7 different rAAV serotypes and their different quantites was analysis here on human prostate cancer cell lines PC-3 and DU-145, which are hard to be transfected. PC-3 and DU-145 cell lines were infected with different multiplicity of infection (MOI) ratios of 7 rAAV serotypes, AAV 2/1, 2/2, 2/3, 2/5, 2/6, and 2/9, which were expressing the green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgene driven by the CMV promoter. The transduction efficiency was analyzed by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. In addition, the cell viability of the infected cells was measured by Muse Cell Analyzer at the MOI of 10.000. rAAV 2/2 and rAAV 2/6 have the most significant ability to transduce PC-3 cells. Although rAAV 2/2 and rAAV 2/6 were also the most transducing serotypes in the DU-145 cell line, the transduction rates did not exceed 20% in this cell line. On the other hand, after viral infection, no difference in cell viability was observed in PC-3 cells compared to the mock group, while a significant decrease in viability was observed in DU-145 cells. This study determined the transduction efficiency of 7 different rAAV serotypes on human cancer cell lines. While rAAV 2/2 and rAAV 2/6 serotypes achieved more than 60% transduction efficiency in PC-3 cells, the transduction efficiency could not exceed 20% in DU-145 cells. Overall, this study demonstrated that rAAV 2/2 and rAAV 2/6 could mediate the expression of a transgene with a high transduction efficiency.","PeriodicalId":9653,"journal":{"name":"Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139338100","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}
