    Enhancing the Co gas sensing properties of ZnO thin films with the decoration of MWCNTs
    (Springer, 2019) Ozutok, F.; Er, Irmak Karaduman; Acar, S.; Demiri, S.
    Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) onto flower-like patterned ZnO seed layers were prepared by spin coating method. The etching of the MWCNTs was examined by HCl acid treatment. The effect of structural, morphological and elemental properties of the ZnO/MWCNTs were determined by XRD, SEM, and EDX, respectively. The gas sensing properties of ZnO seed layer and MWCNT/ZnO nanocomposites were studied as a function of operating temperature and gas concentration. The incorporation of MWCNT were given results such as reducing the operating temperature to 70 degrees C and enhancement in sensor response for 25ppm CO gas. It was obtained that the highest sensing response of 62% at 70 degrees C for raw-MWCNTs/ZnO sensor as compared to etched-MWCNT/ZnO and ZnO sensor which gave a sensing response of 19% and 21% at operating temperature of 70 degrees C and 150 degrees C, respectively. Results showed that the deposition of metal oxide sensors with MWCNT is a promising strategy for improvement of CO gas sensing properties.

    Seasonal Effects of Environmental Variables on Molluscan Communities in cardak Lagoon (Turkish Straits)
    (Maik Nauka/Interperiodica/Springer, 2023) Ates, A. S.; Dogan, A.; Acar, S.; Buyukates, Y.; Dagli, E.; Bakir, A. K.; Mulayim, A.
    In the present study, the effects of environmental variables on the community of molluscans found in a protected lagoon system (cardak Lagoon, Dardanelles) polluted by domestic waste were investigated. Samplings were performed from sandy and silty bottoms of the study area between the depths of 1 and 1.8 m in October 2018, February, April, and June 2019. A total of 14954 specimens and 59 molluscan species (2 Polyplacophora, 30 bivalves, and 27 gastropods) were found, with two exotic species, Arcuatula senhousia and Ruditape sphilippinarum. Highest gastropod abundance was observed in autumn 2018, while the highest bivalves abundance was in spring 2019. Considering environmental variables, gravel content had highest correlation with Shannon-Weaver and Turkish Biotic Index values. In addition, anionic detergent derived from domestic pollution affected diversity. Environmental variables of anthropogenic origin were found to modify the community structure at high level. Dissolved oxygen, oxygen reduction potential, nitrite + nitrate, and chemical oxygen demand concentrations in water, and sand content in sediment were important variables affecting the distribution of molluscan species in the study area.
