Simultaneous evaluation of charge/discharge times and energy storage/ release capacities in multi-tube latent heat energy storage with metal foam-enhanced PCM
Get PDFPhase change materials (PCMs) play a critical role in energy storage systems due to their high latent heat capacity, enabling efficient thermal energy storage and release during phase transitions. The low thermal conductivity problem of PCMs causes the heat transfer to decrease during energy storage and release processes and the heat energy to be distributed nonuniformly in the system. Multi-tube latent heat energy storage (LHES) with phase change materials (PCMs) have been implemented to improve heat distribution within PCMs. The novelty of this study was the simultaneous assessment of charge/discharge times and energy storage/release capacities for determining the optimal tube geometry, number, and layout in LHES with metal foam-enhanced PCM. In this context, single, double, triple, and quadruple multi-tube designs consisting of basic geometries (circle, square, triangle) for LHES with metal foam-enhanced PCM have been realized. RT42 was used as PCM and twodimensional and time-dependent numerical analyses based on the enthalpy-porosity method were carried out for these configurations. In addition, the non-equilibrium thermal model was chosen for energy analyses because it offers a more realistic approach. The melting and solidification analysis findings were evaluated in terms of charge/discharge time, PCM temperature distribution, and energy storage/release capacity. Depending on the physical phenomena in the melting and solidification processes and the heat transfer surface areas of the tube geometries, different geometries have shown high performance in charge and discharge times. The lowest charging time was obtained for the triangle-tube designs and reduced charging time by 7.7 % to 10.4 % compared to circle-tube designs. However, the lowest discharge times were obtained for square-tube configurations in the solidification process and the discharge time was decreased by 13.6 % to 27.8 % compared to circle-tube designs. The energy storage and release capacity during melting and solidification processes did not increase proportionally with the number of tubes. In the quadruple-tube model, heat energy was distributed more uniformly within the PCM container. However, for the non-uniformly arranged triple-tube model, higher energy storage and release capacities were achieved at the end of the charging and discharging periods. Considering the energy storage and release performances, it was observed that the most suitable configuration for both melting and solidification processes was the triple triangle-tube. The triple triangle-tube design revealed enhancements in energy storage capacity of 0.41 % to 12 % and energy release capacity of 0.15 % to 9.93 % compared to other single and multiple-tube designs
Comprehensive analysis of the impact of iron and terbium co-dopant levels on the structural, thermal, and spectroscopic properties of hydroxyapatite
Get PDFIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in biomaterials for improving human living conditions. Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a biomaterial widely used in bone and teeth restoration, has been doped with iron (Fe) and terbium (Tb) to enhance its electronic properties and potential biomedical applications. Theoretical calculations revealed a decreasing trend in bandgap values with increasing concentrations of Fe and Tb, suggesting a shift from insulating to semiconducting behavior. The synthesized Fe and Tb doped HAp samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that the addition of Fe and Tb dopants led to changes in the lattice parameters, crystallinity, and morphology of HAp structure. The doped HAp samples exhibited improved thermal stability, and their FTIR and Raman spectra confirmed the presence of the phosphate group. SEM analysis revealed sphere-like nanoparticles and EDX results confirmed the presence of Fe and Tb in the doped samples. The (Ca + Tb + Fe)/P molar ratios were close to the ideal value of 1.667. The study demonstrates the potential of Fe and Tb-doped HAp as multifunctional materials in biomedicine and other fields requiring tunable electrical properties.Management Unit of Scientific Research Projects of Firat University (FUBAP), Elazig, Turkiye [FF.24.08, FF.24.22]This work was supported by the Management Unit of Scientific Research Projects of Firat University (FUBAP) , Elazig, Turkiye (Project Numbers: FF.24.08 and FF.24.22)

EXAMINATION OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS IN THE LIGHT OF IMMANUEL KANT’S ETHICAL PRINCIPLES
Get PDFIndependent auditors assume a great responsibility towards information users with the report they submit at the end of the audit. With this sense of responsibility, the independent auditor must act in accordance with the ethical principles of the profession while performing the audit work. The basic professional ethical principles of independent auditors have been determined as integrity, impartiality, professional competence and care, confidentiality and professional behavior. In the study, the professional ethical principles of independent auditors have been examined in the context of the principles of good will, categorical imperative and freedom that constitute the moral ethical principles of German philosopher Kant. The purpose of this study is to examine the compatibility of Kant’s ethical principles with the ethical principles of today’s independent auditors. In the study, the professional ethics of independent auditors have been examined in the light of Kant’s ethical principles, aiming to provide a perspective to these principles. For this purpose, domestic and foreign literature has been scanned, and the obtained study findings have been tabulated and presented as a result. Kant’s moral ethical principles have been examined in many scientific fields but have not been addressed in the field of auditing. Therefore, this study is significant as it is the first to address these principles in the field of auditing

Female body perception: social norms, criticism, and the impact of weight perception
Get PDFPURPOSE: This study aims to explore the multifaceted nature of women's body perception and the personal and social factors that influence it. The research investigates how societal expectations, health concerns, and self-perception intersect in shaping women's views of their own bodies. METHODS: Adopting a phenomenological approach, this qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews with 30 women aged 18-65 from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The data collection tool-a structured interview form-was developed through a literature review and expert consultation, and it was piloted for validity. Interviews were conducted both face-to-face and online, transcribed, and then analyzed using a phenomenologically informed thematic analysis. Three major themes were identified through high inter-rater agreement (over 90%): Physical Features and Health, Societal Pressures and Criticism, and Self-Perception and Emotions. RESULTS: Findings indicate that women's body perception is shaped by intersecting factors such as age, media portrayals, cultural norms, social surroundings, and lived experiences. Within the theme of Physical Features and Health, concerns around "Weight and Health" emerged most frequently, revealing the strong link between body perception and health consciousness. CONCLUSIONS: The study underscores the need for social and educational interventions that promote body positivity and challenge restrictive beauty norms.

Radiologic Investigation of the Presence of Accessory Transverse Foramen in Individuals Aged 21-60 Years Living in the Western Black Sea Region
Get PDFAim: The aim of this study was to radiologically evaluate the occurrence of more than one for. transversarium, called accessory foramen transversarium (ATF), in individuals aged 21-60 years living in the Western Black Sea Region. Material and Methods: Personal information (name, last name and age) of the patients who participated in the study were not shared and confidentiality was taken as a basis. In the study, cervical vertebrae of 200 healthy individuals, 100 females and 100 males aged 21-60 years, were obtained retrospectively by Computed Tomography (CT) through the Hospital Imaging Archiving System (PACS). The for. transversarium of all cervical vertebrae from C1 to C7 were examined on coronal and sagittal plane images brought to orthogonal plane. The presence or absence of variation was examined. The vertebrae with ATF were noted. It was noted whether the ATF was unilateral or bilateral in the vertebra where it was found. If it was unilateral, which side it was on was noted. After all CT images were examined, the data obtained were entered into the Microsoft Excel program. It was analyzed with SPSS 24.0 program. Results: The according to the analysis results, ATF was observed in a total of 95 individuals, 49 males (49%) and 46 females (46%). 18 individuals (18.9%) had right-sided ATF, 46 individuals (48.4%) had left-sided ATF and 31 individuals (32.6%) had bilateral ATF. There was no statistically significant difference between gender and ATF (p>0.05). ATF was observed in a total of 121 vertebrae out of 1400 vertebrae examined. C6 was the most common vertebra with ATF in both sexes. Conclusion: We believe that our study will provide guidance for clinicians and radiologists in predicting changes in the structures passing through the foramen (for.) transversarium, interpreting X-ray and CT scans, and determining the more appropriate intervention when surgical intervention is considered
