Copper and nickel supported FSM-16 molecular sieves for carbon nanotube production
FSM-16, Cu-FSM-16 and Ni-FSM-16 type folded sheet mesoporous materials has been synthesized by using kanemite and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide as a template. 1, 5, 10 wt % Cu and Ni were loaded by simple impregnation method. The X-ray diffraction and N2 sorption characteristics show that the resultant materials has uniform pore structure with hexagonal well ordered arrangement.
BET surface area, pore volume nd pore diameters were decreased as the metal loading increased. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been synthesized within the metal trapped channels of the FSM-16 via chemical vapor deposition using acetylene as the hydrocarbon source. The resultant nanotubes were compared under similar reaction conditions and they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman Spectroscopy, AFM and TGA
Production of carbon nanotubes over Fe-FSM-16 catalytic material: effect of acetylene flow rate and CVD temperature
In this article, a high-yield synthesis of high-quality CNTs using Fe catalysts trapped within channels of Folded Sheet Mesoporous Materials, FSM-16 by Chemical Vapor Deposition CVD using acetylene as a hydrocarbon source is reported. The effect of reaction temperature and acetylene flow rate on the formation of CNTs was investigated. It was found that the yield, diameter and quality of CNTs synthesized strongly depend on reaction temperature during CVD.
The resulting materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Our research found that carbon deposition, diameter and quality of the CNTs strongly depend on CVD temperature. However acetylene flow rate did not have any significant effect on diameter distribution. Raman measurement indicated that the synthesized products were MWCNTs. High-resolution transmission electron
micrographs of samples reveal the multilayer sidewalls of individual MWCNTs with a diameter of 40 nm, in which hollow and tubal structures were observed

Production of carbon nanotubes using Fe-FSM-16, co-FSM-16 and Ni-FSM-16 type mesoporous catalytic materials by chemical vapor deposition
FSM-16 was synthesized and loaded with 2 and 4 wt % Fe, Co, and Ni by impregnation method. These catalytic materials were tested in the production of carbon nanotubes using the CVD method. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, 29Si- NMR, N₂ [Nitrogen] physisorption, and SEM-EDS. The effect of metal concentration on structural characteristics of the mesoporous material was studied. XRD results demonstrated that Fe, Co and Ni modified FSM-16 had hexagonal mesoporous structure. However, both XRD and 29Si-NMR characterization proved, as the metal concentration increased, hexagonal mesoporous structure was partially lost. According to BET results, the surface area, pore volume and pore diameter decreased due to metal impregnation. This was an indication of deterioration of silica matrix. SEM results exhibited the morphological differences between FSM-16 and Fe, Co, and Ni modified FSM-16. Effect of experimental parameters such as metal concentration, reaction temperature and acetylene flow rate for CNTs growth were investigated by using Fe-FSM-16, Co-FSM- 16, and Ni-FSM-16. Synthesized CNTs were characterized by SEM, Raman spectroscopy and TGA. It was found that metal concentration (2-4 wt %), and reaction temparature (500-800ºC [degrees Celsius] were critical for CNTs formation. While each catalyst exhibited high production of CNTs at 700ºC [degrees Celsius] ; and, they were inactive at 500ºC [degrees Celsius]. The diameter of CNTs changed with synthesis temperature, in particular the diameter of the CNTs increased with the reaction temperature. Ni-FSM-16 and Co-FSM-16 showed somewhat lower reactivity in formation CNTs with respect to Fe-FSM-16. Among the catalysts, 4 wt % Fe-FSM-16 improved the formation of CNTs. The effect of acetylene flow rate for CNTs diameters which grown on the 4 wt % Fe-FSM-16 was studied. It was observed that acetylene flow rate did not affect on the diameter of the synthesized CNTs significantly. Diameters of CNTs were almost the same, observed to be in the range of 20-35 nm. Raman measurement indicated that the synthesized products were MWCNTs since no SWCNTs characteristic features appeared in the RBM region. The characterization results demonstrated that CNTs formation with high efficiency was performed by using 4 wt % Fe-FSM-16 with 80 mL/min acetylene flow rate at 700ºC [degrees Celsius] for 30 min
Co-firing of biomass with coals Part 1. Thermogravimetric kinetic analysis of combustion of fir (abies bornmulleriana) wood
The chemical composition and reactivity of fir (Abies bornmulleriana) wood under non-isothermal thermogravimetric (TG) conditions were studied. Oxidation of the wood sample at temperatures near 600 A degrees C caused the loss of aliphatics from the structure of the wood and created a char heavily containing C-O functionalities and of highly aromatic character. On-line FTIR recordings of the combustion of wood indicated the oxidation of carbonaceous and hydrogen content of the wood and release of some hydrocarbons due to pyrolysis reactions that occurred during combustion of the wood. TG analysis was used to study combustion of fir wood. Non-isothermal TG data were used to evaluate the kinetics of the combustion of this carbonaceous material. The article reports application of Ozawa-Flynn-Wall model to deal with non-isothermal TG data for the evaluation of the activation energy corresponding to the combustion of the fir wood. The average activation energy related to fir wood combustion was 128.9 kJ/mol, and the average reaction order for the combustion of wood was calculated as 0.30

In the collection of research data; Individual Information Form, Standardized Mini Mental Test, Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index, Oxford Hip Score, and Patient and Observer Scar Evaluation Scale were used. Individual Identification Form, Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index and Oxford Hip Score were applied to both groups before surgery. Preoperative video-based training was given to the application group, and the control group received routine nursing care without any training. The Barthel Activities of Daily Living and the Patient and Observer Scar Evaluation Scale were applied to both groups on the 5th postoperative day. Video-based training was repeated on the 2nd or 3rd postoperative day in the application group, and the control group received routine nursing care. Before discharge, video-based training was uploaded to the phones or computers of the patients and caregivers in the application group, and the patients and caregivers could benefit from this training video whenever they wanted. The patients in the control group were discharged after receiving routine discharge training. On the 30th postoperative day, Barthel Activities of Daily Living, Oxfort Hip Score, and Patient and Observer Scar Rating Scale were applied to both groups. Descriptive statistical methods (frequency, mean) were used in the analysis of the data. In the analysis of normally distributed variables, Student's t test was used in independent groups and the relationship between multiple independent variables was evaluated with ANOVA test. Analysis of variance was used in repeated measurements in the evaluation of in-group quantitative data.

determined that 87,2% of nurses always checked the name of a patient, names of drugs,
dose of drugs and methods of application, whereas 8% seldomly investigated how to
prepare drugs properly according to their characteristics. Concerning the precautions to be
taken by institutions; 96,6% of nurses suggested to increase the number of nurses. It was
determined that nurses who had done master degree, chosen their profession willingly and
were pleased with their profession had more interventions aimed at preventing drug errors
than other nurses (p<0,05). In the study that as the precautions taken by institutions
increased, precautions of nurses decreased. 96.6% of the nurses ' views on the measures to
be taken by the institutions suggested that the number of nurses should be increased. As a
consequence, it is recommended to develop standards on drug applications, use advancing
technology in institutions, expand lessons or subjects concerning drug applications in the

Co-firing of biomass with coals: part 2. thermogravimetric kinetic analysis of co-combustion of fir (abies bornmulleriana) wood with Beypazari lignite
The combustion of coal and coal/fir (Abies bornmulleriana) wood blends at the proper ratio (20, 40, 50 wt%) was investigated with thermogravimetric analysis
(TG). The influence of biomass blends on thermal and kinetic behavior of coal was studied under non-isothermal conditions. The activation energy of the samples was evaluated with the Ozawa–Flynn–Wall model which compares the combustion of these biowastes with coal under non-isothermal conditions. Our research found that blending influences activation energy of coal; moreover,
activation energy related to 50 wt% blend was more similar to pure wood combustion than to coal combustion. Therefore, the activation energy profile shifted from 80.6 to 169.3 kJ/mol. The average reaction order of the samples
ranged from 0.13 to 0.35
