The increasing population leads ti an increasing demand for fresh produce all around the world. Making provisions for inhibiting foodborne pathogens, especially the ones producing biofilms, such as Salmonella spp., might remain impossible during the process, due to the cross-contaminations. Thus, foodborne outbreaks can be accompanied by biofilms. Chemical disinfectants are not efficient in disintegrating the biofilms since they cannot penetrate into the biofilm matrix. At this point, plant extracts with correct exposure time on fresh produce are crucial to take timely precautions against the attachment of bacteria to fresh produce. The effects of the water-soluble extract of stinging nettle were determined for biofilm formation capabilities on food product and in vitro, and swimming motilities and curli expressions of Salmonella enterica Virchow, Newport, Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Othmarschen and Mikawasima serovars. Moreover, rpoS, mlrA, ycfR, fimA, spiA and csgA, biofilm-related genes, were also screened. Results have revealed that 2 log reduction of bacterial strains named above, forming biofilm formation on spinach, have been observed by the help of the extract of stinging nettle with 1-hour exposure time. In vitro, different inhibitory capabilities of the extracts have been observed regarding the concentrations, ranging from 2 mg/ml to 20 mg/ml. The extract has significantly decreased the swimming motilities of serovars, except Enteritidis. Weak and strong biofilm producers have been observed in curli expression. In conclusion, stinging nettle extract plays an important role in eliminating biofilm formation of Salmonella enterica serovars.

An Investigation on Benefit-Cost Analysis of Greenhouse Structures in Antalya Sarı, Ramazan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (2020-11-12) Significant population increase across the world, loss of cultivable land and increasing demand for food put pressure on agriculture. To meet the demand, greenhouses are built, which are, light structures with transparent cladding material in order to provide controlled microclimatic environment proper for plant production. Conceptually, greenhouses are similar with manufacturing buildings where a controlled environment for manufacturing and production have been provided and proper spaces...
A Density functional theory investigation for solid state hydrogen storage materials Gencer, Ayşenur; Toffoli, Hande; Department of Physics (2018) The world’s energy demand is increasing with the population growth and technology development. In addition, the electronic devices are an essential part of the daily life that require portable energy sources. Therefore, energy storage is necessary in order to store energy from the renewable energy sources and also provide portable energy sources for electronic devices. Hydrogen being the most abundant element in the world, is a good energy carrier with high energy density. Also, hydrogen does not release gr...
Development of wholecell bioreporters for detection of boric acid, cyanide and paraquat Suluova, Melek; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019) Chemical industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in the world due to immensely increasing human population. In despite of precautions ruled by legislations, many chemicals are produced and released to into environment. These pollutants get into soil, water and air thus to our food, resulting in serious toxic effects on human health and the destruction of ecosystems. Boric acid, paraquat and cyanide are example for pollution causing chemicals. Due to their possible toxicity, continuous monitoring is n...
Analysis of sinusoidal and helical buckling of drill string in horizontal wells using finite element method Arpacı, Erdoğan; Özbayoğlu, Evren; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2009) The number of horizontal wells is increasing rapidly in all over the world with the growth of new technological developments. During horizontal well drilling, much more complex problems occur when compared with vertical well drilling, such as decrease in load transfer to the bit, tubular failure, tubular fatigue and tubular lock-up. This makes selection of appropriate tubular and making the right drill string design more important. As the total compression load on the horizontal section increases, the behav...
Understanding individual behavior and moral judgments on food waste in a university cafeteria Özokcu, Selin; Özdemir, Özlem; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Department of Earth System Science (2021-11-18) Along with the global food crisis, climate change, population growth, urbanization, enlarging middle class, and shifts in consumption patterns, food waste became a severe problem to tackle. Around one-third of produced food, which approximates to 1.3 billion tonnes per year, has been globally wasted throughout the food supply chain. A considerable literature has proliferated around the theme of food waste; and yet the drivers of consumer-level food waste in emerging economies remains unattended. This disser...
