Published inactivation data of Listeria innocua by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) were used to compare the prediction capabilities of response surface methodology (RSM) and the proposed Weibull model. A quadratic function was used for the secondary modeling of the reduced Weibull model's time constant parameter so that this model consisted of pressure, temperature and time just like RSM equation. Application of each model was shown separately. The usability, differences and similarities of these models were also pointed out. In general, the reduced Weibull model gave better predictions than RSM at 207 and 276 MPa for three temperature values (25, 35 and 45C); however, at 345 MPa for 35 and 45C just the opposite was observed.

Evaluation of displacement coefficient method for seismically retrofitted buildings with various ductility capacities
Dicleli, Murat (Wiley, 2014-07-25)
This research study is aimed at evaluating the accuracy of the displacement coefficient method (DCM) of FEMA 440 and associated nonlinear static procedure (NLSP) for actual buildings with soft story mechanism and various ductility capacities. The DCM and associated NLSP are evaluated using two existing seismically vulnerable buildings with soft story mechanism. The buildings are first retrofitted using a ductile steel-brace-link system to represent those with good ductility capacity and then retrofitted wit...
Evaluation of high hydrostatic pressure sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157 : H7 by differential scanning calorimetry
Alpas, Hami; BOZOGLU, F; KALETUNC, G (Elsevier BV, 2003-11-01)
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to evaluate the relative high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) resistances of bacterial strains from Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in vivo. The total apparent enthalpy change and thermal stability were two DSC parameters used to compare bacterial strains of untreated control and pressure-treated bacteria. DSC thermograms indicated that ribosomal denaturation appears to be a major factor in cell death by both thermal and high pressure treatments...
Evaluation of seismic response factors for BRBFs using FEMA P695 methodology
Ozkihc, Yasin Onuraip; Bozkurt, Mehmet Bakir; Topkaya, Cem (Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01)
This paper reports the details of a numerical study undertaken to evaluate seismic response factors for steel buckling-restrained braced frames (BRBFs) using the FEMA P695 methodology. In the United States, BRBFs are designed according to Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7) and the Seismic Provisions for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 341). Twenty-four archetypes were designed according to the U.S. specifications and their behavior was assessed by making use of non-simulated c...
Rheological characterization of tahin/pekmez (sesame paste/concentrated grape juice) blends
Arslan, Elif; Esin, Ali; Yener, Esra; Department of Food Engineering (2003)
The aim of this study was to determine the rheological properties of tahin/pekmez blends at different tahin concentrations (20-32%) and temperatures (35-65 C) by using a concentric cylinder rotational viscometer. Samples were sheared with seven different rotational speeds at an increasing order. The shear rates (0.75-63.9 s-1) were calculated by the Power-law Approximation method. Tahin/pekmez blends were found to exhibit non-Newtonian, shear thinning behavior at all temperatures and tahin concentrations. T...
Computational studies of isoflavanes: isovestitoland sativan
Onay, A. K.; Onay, M. (2012-05-02)
The O-substitute derivatives of isoflavans were examinated and the results of the structural and conformational analysis of the molecules were given in this study. Isoflavanes are active compouds of plants and vegetables. Isoflavanes have diverse effects on human and animal health. They show preventative properties on growth of breast cancer cells. In addition to this, they affect women's health during menopause and reduce the risk of fibroids and endometriosis. Soy and red clover are natural sources of iso...
