Pedal and hypobranchial mucus production of the common whelk Buccinum undatum L. were measured at three different temperatures (8.2, 10.5 and 15-degrees-C). Pedal mucus production at 8.2-degrees-C was significantly lower from that at 10.5-degrees-C, but similar to that at 15-degrees-C. In contrast hypobranchial mucus production at 8.2-degrees-C was significantly higher than that at 10.5-degrees-C but again similar to that at 15-degrees-C. At all temperatures whelks produced more hypobranchial than pedal mucus. Food consumption was measured, and from this it was determined that almost-equal-to 27.5% of the total energy intake appeared as mucus production (pedal + hypobranchial). Other studies on gastropod mucus energetics are reviewed, and possible sources of error in the determination of mucus energetics are discussed.

Assessment and optimization of xylanase production using co-cultures of Bacillus subtilis and Kluyveromyces marxianus Yardimci, Gozde Oren; Çekmecelioğlu, Deniz (2018-06-25) Co-cultures of Bacillus subtilis and Kluyveromyces marxianus were investigated in submerged fermentation for xylanase production at shake-flask scale. Xylanase production markedly increased when arabinose, xylose, or hazelnut shells were used as the single carbon source. Maximal xylanase of 49.5 IU/mL was achieved with 4% B. subtilis, 4% K. marxianus, 40% solid load of hazelnut shells, and pH 7.0. Overall, xylanase was enhanced by 4.4-fold compared to initial un-optimized monoculture production and 2.8-fold...
Cyclic crack growth behaviour of two nickel base turbine disc alloys Arslan, G; Doruk, M (1998-05-15) The high temperature fatigue crack growth behaviour of the nickel base superalloys Alloy 718 and Rene 95 (specimen thickness = 4.1 mm) were investigated and compared with each other. Fatigue crack propagation (FCP) tests were carried out in laboratory air at room temperature and 600 degrees C by using C-T (compact tension) type specimen that were fatigue precracked at room temperature.
Modeling the synergistic effect of high pressure and heat on inactivation kinetics of Listeria innocua: a preliminary study Buzrul, S; Alpas, Hami (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2004-09-01) The survival curves of Listeria innocua CDW47 by high hydrostatic pressure were obtained at four pressure levels (138, 207, 276, 345 MPa) and four temperatures (25, 35, 45, 50 degreesC) in peptone solution. Tailing was observed in the survival curves. Elevated temperatures and pressures substantially promoted the inactivation of L. innocua. A linear and two non-linear (Weibull and log-logistic) models were fitted to these data and the goodness of fit of these models were compared. Regression coefficients (R...
Changes in the physicochemical properties of high pressure treated rainbow trout Erkan, Nuray; Alpas, Hami; Uretener, Gonca; Selcuk, Arif; Buzrul, Sencer (2010-09-01) Changes in the physicochemical quality of rainbow trout's High pressure (HP)treated at 220, 250 and 330 MPa, 7, 15 and 25 degrees C for 5 and 10 min were investigated. HP-treated rainbow trout's showed significantly increased L* value relative to untreated rainbow trout's. Little changes in colour (a* value) were observed, compared to untreated rainbow trout's, which did not showed b* values. From tests of chemical properties, HP-treated rainbow trout's did not showed or showed significantly decreased thiob...
Evaluation of symbiotic effectiveness of various Rhizobium cicer strains İçgen, Bülent; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2002-07-01) Five local and seven standard strains of Rhizobium cicer were compared in terms of their efficiency in increasing the nitrogen content of the chickpea. Shoot dry weight, nodule number, nodule dry weight, protein and total nitrogen contents were taken as the parameters of plant productivity. Different combinations of the strains that were found to be promising (385, 620, Y-29 and 3379) were next employed. The maximum increase in total nitrogen content was only 3.5-fold in single infection whereas an increase...
