Carburizing treatments involve longer holdings at the austenite region, which can produce a range of different prior-austenite grain sizes (PAGS) depending on the growth behavior. The PAGS influences hardenability, phase transformation kinetics and hence the final phase fraction; and therefore the final mechanical properties. Since the high-temperature austenite structure is transformed during subsequent cooling steps, controlling the formation of desired austenitic structure during carburizing treatment is difficult and particularly important. This study aims at predicting the PAGS during carburizing by using a model based on ideal grain growth law. In order to construct the validity of the model, SAE 8620H steel samples were austenitized at 3 different temperatures (850o C, 900o C, 925o C) for 3 different durations (15 min, 8 h, 24h), and then cooled at a rate of 350o C/s to ensure transformation to martensite. The PAGS of those samples were determined by metallographic examination using optical microscope. The PAGS were then determined by Heyn Intercept Method, performed on at least 5 micrographs per specimen. The results show that the grain growth behavior of the present 8620H steel can be explained by ideal grain growth law. The model parameters determined from the present experimental results agree reasonably well with the other studies on same steel grade.

The volume of expert manual annotation of biomolecules is steady due to high costs associated with it, although the number of sequenced genomes continues to grow exponentially. Computational methods have been proposed in order to predict the attributes of gene products. The prediction of Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers is a challenging issue in this area. Enzymes have crucial roles in metabolic pathways, therefore they are widely employed in biotechnological and biomedical pplications. EC numbers are numeric...
Evaluation of salt tolerance in sto transformed Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum plants
Selçuk, Feyza; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Department of Biology (2004)
Salinity is one of the limiting factors of crop development. Together with causing water loss from plant tissues, salinity also leads to ion toxicity. Under salt stress, increase in Ca+2 concentration in cytosol can decrease the deleterious effects of stress. The binding of Ca+2 to calmodulin initiates a signaling cascade involving the activation of certain transcription factors like STO and STZ. This signal transduction pathway regulates transport of proteins that control net Na+ influx across the plasma m...
Optimization of the fermentation parameters to maximize the production of cellulases and xylanases using DDGS as the main feedstock in stirred tank bioreactors

Lignocellulolytic enzymes such as cellulases and xylanases are needed on the industrial scales for low cost production of biofuels and the other value-added products from lignocellulosic biomass such as distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Optimization of fermentation variables such as agitation, aeration, and inoculum size for fungal enzyme production by submerged fermentation can enhance the enzyme production levels. Therefore, this research focuses on the statistical optimization of fungal inoc...
