Newly synthesized poly(styrene-g-oleic amide) was coated onto a rhodium nanoparticle modified glassy carbon (GC) surface for the fabrication of horseradish peroxidase based biosensor used for hydrogen peroxide detection. The rhodium modifed electrode presented ten times higher signal than unmodified electrode even at low elecrtroactive enzyme quantity by enhancing the electron transfer rate at the applied potential of -0.65 V. The biosensor designed by under the optimized rhodium electrodeposition time exhibited a fast response less than 5 s, an excellent operational stability with a relative standard deviation of 0.6 % (n=6), an ac . . .curacy of 96 % and a large linear range between 50 µM and 120 mM for hydrogen peroxide. Detection limit and the sensitivity parameters were calculated to be 44 µM and 57 µA mM-1 cm-2, respectively by preserving its entire initial response up to the 15 days, while only 20 % of its initial response was lost at the end of one month. © 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Nutrient enhancement of bioremediation with nitrogen, namely biostimulation, increases process performance. Selection of a proper nitrogen source is critical for bioremediation applications. In this study, the effects of different nitrogen sources on biodegradation of C10–C25 n-alkane compounds in diesel fuel-spiked soil were revealed, and the most appropriate nitrogen source for biodegradation of semi- and non-volatile n-alkanes was investigated. Bioremediation of diesel fuel contaminated soil was monitored in lab-scale reactors for 15 days. Ammonium sulfate, potassium nitrate and urea were used as nitrogen sources. Carbon dioxide . . .and oxygen levels in the reactors were recorded to monitor microbiological activity. Contaminant removal process was investigated by pH, heterotrophic plate count, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and C10–C25 n-alkane analyses. First-order kinetic constants were calculated via respirometric and contaminant concentration data. According to total C10–C25 n-alkane removal levels and degradation rate constants, ammonium sulfate addition resulted in the most efficient contaminant removal followed by potassium nitrate and urea. Simultaneous degradation of individual n-alkanes was observed for all of the nitrogen sources. Urea addition changed the distribution of individual n-alkane concentrations relative to the pre-experimental concentrations. Nitrogen source type had no differential effect on degradation rates of semi- (C10–C16) and non-volatile (C17–C25) fractions. © 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Daha fazlası Daha az

In this study, the wind speed prediction model is created that gives a minimum error for different hidden layer neuron numbers and delay step numbers. Using the one-minute time series, the prediction of the next wind speed is performed with the NAR neural network model. The predicted values of wind speed obtained are compared with predicted values of wind speed obtained with filter methods. For different window functions and lengths, wind speed prediction is made using filters with different weight coefficients. For the number of hidden layer neurons is 14 and the number of delay steps is 10, MAE, MSE and RMSE values are calculated . . .as 0.0315, 0.0019, 0.0445, respectively, with NAR neural network. It is seen that the proposed method for the wind speed dataset has a higher prediction performance than thefilter methods. © 2017 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

Reverberation and multipath propagation afîect the accuracy of time of flight (TOF) estimation in confined underwater medium. In this paper, time delay has been estimated by obtaining the transmitted signal and first echo signal from measured signal acquised by using a wideband transducer with 5 MHz central frequency. Cross-correlation (CC) and generalized cross-correlation (GCC) methods have been applied to the obtained signals and their performances have been compared. The results show that GCC method has better performance for time delay estimation in confined underwater medium where multipath propagation and reverberation are se . . .vere. © 2017 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

Elastik dalgalar, sadece gaz ve sıvılarda değil aynı zamanda katılarda da yayılırlar. Katılar, sıvı ve gazlarda olmayan form elastisitesine sahip olduğundan, katıların elastik özellikleri farklıdır. Bu nedenle, sadece boylamsal dalgalar değil aynı zamanda diğer dalgalar da katılarda yayılabilir. Katı içinde yayılan dalgalar kullanılarak hedefin konumu hakkında bilgi edinilebilir. Bu çalışmada ince düzlemlerde tek transdüktör kullanılarak ultrasonik dalga yayılımının modellenmesi yapılarak, uyarlamalı algoritma ile hedef uzaklığı kestirilmektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlarda, modellenen dalga yayılımında ultrasonik dalganın hızı ile birli . . .kte zaman gecikmesi uyartım noktasının sensöre olan uzaklığı ile ilintili olduğu için, uyarlamalı algoritma ile darbe cevabı başlangıç noktası belirlenerek hedef konumunun tespit edilebildiği görülmektedir. Elastic waves propagate not only in gases and liquids but also in solids. The elastic properties of solids are different since they have form elasticity which liquids and gases don't have. Because of this reason, not only longitudinal waves but also other waves can propagate in solids. Waves propagating in solids can be used to get information about target location. In this paper, modelling of ultrasonic wave propagation in thin plates is investigated by using a single transducer and target distance is estimated with adaptive algorithm. According to the obtained results, it can be seen that target location can be estimated by detecting the starting point of the impulse response with adaptive algorithm since the delay along with the velocity of ultrasound wave in the modelled wave propagation is related to the distance between the excitation point and sensor Daha fazlası Daha az

We investigated adaptive algorithms for a Hammerstein block structure in which a static nonlinear block and dynamic linear block are cascaded. The approach considered here is to use generalized orthonormal basis functions in a Hammerstein block structure by using xed pole lter banks. We applied the normalized least mean square approach to the developed adaptive algorithm in order to acquire Hammerstein block structure parameters. Performance comparison of the proposed approach was investigated considering convergence speed and parametric complexity for acoustic echo cancellation application. The results indicated that in the develop . . .ed algorithm along with appropriate selection of xed poles, the algorithm convergences faster and less parametric complexity is provided when compared to direct adaptive Hammerstein algorithms with IIR and FIR linear blocks.

This study focuses on the modelling of 3 axis gimbal system with the RRR joint structure on the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which is autonomously moving for the target tracking, based on experimental input (motor velocities) and output (end effector position) data. The fact that UAVs move in a certain direction and that the camera on the end effector of the gimbal system on it is adhere to the correct target attracts many researchers. The transfer function of the 3 axis gimbal system is obtained by linearly structured OE-Output Error model using experimentally obtained data under different external disturbance effects. Model degr . . .ee is determined and data set based verification is applied. Also, the performance is compared by examining the effect of external disturbance in the transfer function obtained. © 2017 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

Electrodialysis (ED) and electrodialysis reversal (EDR) processes have been often used for separation of ions in dilute solutions. In this study, the performance of ED and EDR processes has been examined in the removal of copper from the dilute solutions. First, applied voltage, initial concentration, flow rate, type of electrolyte and the effect of concentration were determined for both processes. Then, separation efficiency, current efficiency, energy requirement and material flux of the processes were calculated, and the performances of the processes were compared. The separation efficiency and energy consumption of EDR process w . . .ere higher compared to ED process under equal operating conditions. Also, the current efficiency (39.58%) of EDR process was lower than the current efficiency (67.46%) of ED process. It can be said that the ED process is more suitable in terms of energy consumption for separation in the low flow rate and concentration. © 2017, Korean Institute of Chemical Engineers, Seoul, Korea Daha fazlası Daha az

We investigate the performance of two different small-world feedforward neural networks for the diagnosis of diabetes. We use the Pima Indians Diabetic Dataset as input. We have previously shown than the Watts–Strogatz small-world feedforward neural network delivers a better classification performance than conventional feedforward neural networks. Here, we compare this performance further with the one delivered by the Newman–Watts small-world feedforward neural network, and we show that the latter is better still. Moreover, we show that Newman–Watts small-world feedforward neural networks yield the highest output correlation as well . . . as the best output error parameters. © 2017 Elsevier Inc Daha fazlası Daha az

This study describes construction of an enzymatic fuel cell comprised of poly(caprolactone-g-ethylene glycol) coated novel glucose oxidase anode and laccase cathode. Rationally designed poly(caprolactone-g-ethylene glycol) containing various poly(ethylene glycol) percentages ranging between 2.67 and 15.04% were synthesized chemically and tested separately for operation of the fuel cell system to achieve the best energy generation. The maximum power density was found to be 80.55 µW cm- 2 at 0.91 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in pH 5, 100 mM citrate buffer (20 °C) by the addition of 30 mM of glucose from the electrodes coated with 11.34% poly(ethyl . . .ene glycol) containing polymer with a quantity of 600 µg. High poly(ethylene glycol) percentages with more numbers of long poly(ethylene glycol) brushes lead to the creation of a complexity in the polymer morphology and steric hindrance effect for electron transport. The graft copolymer was easily used for the fuel cell system owing to its biocompatible and microporous film morphology. The grafted polymer was able to facilitate enzymatic glucose oxidation and oxygen reduction while simultaneously producing high catalytic electrical currents. © 2017 Elsevier B.V Daha fazlası Daha az
