Adsorption: Basics, Properties, and Classification
(Elsevier, 2023) Gökırmak Söğüt, E.; Gülcan, M.
The emerging industry to meet the demand of developing countries and the growing population causes many pollutants. Adsorption is a widely used waste removal method in many fields. Adsorption involves the transport of the adsorbate to specific areas on the adsorbent, and the adsorption reactions in these areas typically involve physical or chemical bonding between the adsorbate and the adsorbent. The adsorption reaction performance is greatly affected by the parameters that control the adsorption process, such as pressure, temperature, adsorbent properties of adsorbent, and the surface area of the adsorbent. Nanoscale materials (nanoadsorbents), widely used in recent years, still make the adsorption method popular with their changing surface properties and high adsorption efficiency. This chapter summarizes the basic working principle of adsorption, compares adsorption and other separation processes, and explains the basics of adsorption process along with the adsorption classification. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.

Antimicrobial Nanocoating for Food Industry
(Elsevier, 2022) Meral, R.; Ceylan, Z.; Kutlu, N.; Kılıçer, A.; Çağlar, A.; Tomar, O.
Conventional food preservation and processing methods were widely used for a long time. On the other hand, recently in the food industry and especially in food science area, novel approaches related to food nanotechnology are giving a great deal of attention to providing microbiological safety. In this respect, nanoparticles, nanoemulsions, nanofibers, or nanoencapsulated food-grade materials have been used to delay the rapid total mesophilic, psychrophilic bacteria, some pathogens, as well as total yeast and mold growth in food materials, particularly stored at 4ºC. For this aim, chitosan-based nanostructures, bioactive material(s)-loaded biopolymer-based nanosystems, nanoparticles integrated with nanofibers, nanoencapsulated probiotic bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus reuteri and Lactobacillus. Rhamnosus), and particularly nanoemulsions obtained from different bioactive materials have been able to be used as nanocoating materials for food or food products. Moreover, nanocoating materials (<1000nm) above aluminum foils have been developed and applied to delay the rapid chemical, physical, sensory deterioration of food materials stored at cold temperatures. Besides antimicrobial usage of nanocoating materials, the coating materials have been treated for obtaining functional food products and providing vitamin (pyridoxine, niacin), fatty acid, and amino acid (valine, methionine) stability. Therefore with less material(s) as compared to the micro and macrosized materials, a larger contact area on the surface of the food materials (e.g., fish fillets, cheese) could be successfully coated. In this respect, all nanostudies reveal that the use of antimicrobial nanocoating materials will have been increased for the next generation of food application in the industry. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Biotic and Abiotic Stress Conditions: Function and Management in Horticulture
(Elsevier, 2022) Demir, S.; Danesh, Y.R.; Boyno, G.; Najafi, S.
Rhizosphere can be defined as the dynamic microcosm between the plant, microorganisms, and soil components in a narrow region where the habitats of plant roots are formed. Mycorrhizal fungi, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, are known to promote plant development, increase plant nutrient absorption, promote plant resilience to biotic and abiotic stress conditions, and improve soil structure, and members of the rhizosphere’s mutual microsymbiosis. As the ecological function of mycorrhizal symbiosis has become much better understood in recent years, this biodiversity and its evolution is no longer considered a black box but a source of extensive networking and molecular communication in the rhizosphere. In this review, it has been tried to describe the effect and mechanism of action of arbuscular mycorrhizae against environmental and cultural stress factors in horticultural production systems. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Sustainable Agriculture
(Elsevier, 2024) Demir, S.; Rezaee Danesh, Y.; Demirer Durak, E.; Najafi, S.; Boyno, G.
The 20th century has been accompanied by the increasing growth in agricultural production, the use of chemical inputs, especially nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, as well as the development of new methods in genetics and plant breeding. In natural ecological conditions, the rhizosphere soils have different types of living organisms, including mycorrhizal fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes, that play a significant role in plant growth and development, plant nutrition as well as tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses. Among them, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have a significant symbiotic relationship with different types of plants in most natural habitats. These fungi play a direct role in improving the growth and development of plants in agricultural ecosystems by absorbing phosphorus and other mineral nutrients from the soil. Also, the role of these fungi in reducing the effects of various biotic and abiotic stresses, bioremediation of contaminated soils, protecting plants against pathogens, increasing biodiversity in host plants, and improving soil fertility and structure has also been validated. AMF have a symbiotic relationship with the majority of plants, such as cereals, vegetables, and fruit trees, and thus play a significant role in sustainable agricultural systems. Proper management of these fungi can be very important in improving sustainable agricultural practices. In this chapter, the role and benefits of mycorrhizal fungi in sustainable agricultural development systems are emphasized and discussed. © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Technology in Sustainable Agriculture: Current Knowledge and Challenges in Agroforestry
(Springer Nature, 2024) Boyno, G.; Ansari, R.A.; Durak, E.D.; Güneş, H.; Çevik, R.; Demir, S.
In agroecosystems, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are the most common and ubiquitous. Because of their productive and comprehensive symbiotic connections with plants, AM technology looks to be a viable option for sustainable agriculture and agroforestry. The commercialization of this technology may be utilized in agriculture, horticulture, and agroforestry to improve land use management and reduce the need for synthetic chemicals for plant growth and disease control. Furthermore, while mycorrhiza inoculation of plants is a well-known procedure, developing an inoculum consistently under field circumstances remains a bottleneck for their wide range of applications. Mycorrhizal inoculum generation, on the other hand, is a complicated process that necessitates commercial enterprises having the requisite biotechnological skills and capacity to react to ethical, educational, legal, and commercial needs. The aim of this chapter is to compile the available data on the theme of commercialization of AM technology as a tool and its use in increasing plant growth and yield characters. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2024.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (Asd) and Garden
(Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2021) Akpinar Kulekci, E.; Asur, F.
Garden culture, which emerges in different ways in different cultures and is shaped according to the social, cultural and ecological conditions of societies, is one of the living spaces of human beings from past to present. Especially in landscape architecture studies, the garden has a great importance in bringing autistic individuals to life within the framework of designs for human health, psychology and in their physical, spiritual and cognitive development. In this study, it is aimed to determine the garden design approach for autistic individuals who have difficulties in social interaction and communication. In this context, the concept of garden and autism was discussed in detail, and the points to be considered in garden designs that appeal to the senses and development of autistic individuals were tried to be determined. As a result of the study, the importance to design gardens that support social skills and environmental education, which are integrative with green spaces that have high sensory stimulation, in a way that encourages their mental development, where autistic individuals can act with their own free will without restricting their movement and behavior was revealed once again. In addition, the necessity of creating spacious spaces with natural vegetation and large green areas, which provide various sensory opportunities to these individuals, especially in bringing autistic individuals to life, arises. For this purpose, it was emphasized that joint studies should be carried out with different professional disciplines, so that such studies will play an important role in the social development of individuals with autism by contributing to their physical, psychological and cognitive development as well as their social development. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2021 All rights reserved.

Bio-Nanomaterials: the Next-Generation Weapon Against Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Commercial Crops
(CRC Press, 2024) Boyno, G.; Ripvanlý, M.R.; El-Abeid, S.E.; Mosa, M.A.; Ibrahim, D.S.S.
Bio-nanomaterials are garnering attention in the agricultural sector due to their unique properties and potential applications. Plant Parasitic Nematodes (PPNs) rank among the most destructive agricultural pests, causing significant yield losses across various crops. The lack of plant resistance to most PPN species, coupled with environmental restrictions on chemical nematicides, has necessitated the quest for more sustainable and eco-friendly disease control measures. As a result, bio-nanomaterials have emerged as an effective, economical, and safe alternative to conventional chemical nematocides. Many plants possess secondary metabolisms that produce nematocidal compounds belonging to various chemical classes, mainly functioning as defence mechanisms against predators, pests, and pathogens. The synthesis of nanoparticles using environmentally benign biological methods offers a consistent, non-toxic, and eco-friendly approach for plant pathogen management, owing to their potent antimicrobial properties. Numerous bio-nanomaterials, including metallic nanoparticles, metal oxide nanoparticles, carbon-based nanoparticles, lipid-based nanoparticles, and polymer-based nanoparticles, exhibit promise for nematode management. Bio-nanomaterials operate through various mechanisms of action, such as physicochemical interactions, oxidative stress, and disruption of cellular processes. The primary objective of this chapter is to discuss the potential of bio-nanomaterials in managing plant parasitic nematodes, one of the most formidable agricultural pests. The utilization of bio-nanomaterials for nematode management holds the potential for sustainable development and a better future for food security by providing innovative tools for sustainable nematode control and contributing to the development of environmentally friendly agricultural practices. © 2025 Irshad Mahmood, Rizwan Ali Ansari and Rose Rizvi.
Biobutanol From Microalgae
(Elsevier, 2022) Onay, M.
Biobutanol is one of the promising biofuels. It can be preferred because of energy density for biofuel. But, the fermentation process for biobutanol production has less productivity efficiency due to the inhibitory effects of some compounds. The reaction has a two-step process. Firstly, butyric and acetic acids occur in the reaction. Then, acetone, butanol, and ethanol generate in the product. This process maintains by means of the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation. Biobutanol can be produced via plants and plant wastes. However, these feedstocks have limitations due to their lower growth rates and productivity efficiencies for production. Due to these disadvantages, scientists have studied microalgae nowadays. They can be used for biobutanol production because of their higher growth rates and compositions. This chapter explains how to produce biobutanol from microalgae. Also, this study investigates the disruptive technological approaches from biobutanol production from microalgae and it includes the novel studies on biobutanol. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Biocatalysis: Fundamentals and Solvent Parameters
(Elsevier, 2020) Acidereli, H.; Sogut, E.G.; Mustafov, S.D.; Gulcan, M.; Sen, F.
Biocatalysis involves the use of one or more enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions. Compared to conventional methods, biocatalysis has advantages such as high stereo-, regio-, and chemoselectivity, efficient catalysis, both complex and straightforward transformations, low rate of by-product formation, inexpensive refining and purification (uncomplicated), mild reaction conditions, and reduced impact on the environment by reducing waste production. To have these advantages, the solvent character of the enzyme should be optimally determined. Thus, all the advantages of biocatalysis are utilized. In this review, it has been tried to present the parameters that will provide optimum conditions for biocatalysis. Biocatalysis, which facilitates many disciplines, is the most popular subject in the catalysis field due to its unique facilities and still undiscovered features. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

Bioencapsulation for Food Additives
(Elsevier, 2022) Ucar, Y.; Durmus, M.; Korkmaz, K.; Ceylan, Z.
Chemical preservatives such as sodium benzoate, sodium nitrite, and sulfur dioxide are generally used to prevent nutritional and sensory losses in foods caused by microbiological, enzymatic, or chemical changes. However, in recent years, consumers have interested in food products preserved with natural additives, since the accumulation of synthetic preservatives in the tissue can be harmful to health. In addition, consumer demands for foods protected with antimicrobial substances found in plants, animals, and microorganisms are increasing. Various studies have been conducted to control the microbial growth of food products, especially seafood and meat products, using lactic acid bacteria and their bacteriocins. However, losses in probiotic viability occur during food processing and storage due to various kinds of environmental stress including temperature, acid, salt, low pH, nutrient reduction, and exposure to osmotic and oxidative stress in product matrices. Encapsulation of probiotic bacteria for example L. rhamnosus and L. reuteri is recommended to overcome these problems and protect food and cells in unfavorable conditions. The encapsulation process is applied in the food industry to integrate bioactive ingredients into several food types, preserve them from unwanted environmental situations and enhance the shelf life of the product. These bioactive additives are completely surrounded by a wall material, thus removing unfavorable properties from the original component. Although various methods have been improved to nano and microencapsulate food constituents, spray drying is the most preferred technology in the food sector due to its low cost and existing equipment. Spray drying is generally used in the food industry to reduce the water content and water activity of products, to provide microbiological stability, to eliminate the risk of chemical and/or biological degradation, to decrease storage and shipping costs, and to get a product with specific features such as instant solubility. Also, electrospraying and electrospinning techniques in nanoencapsulation of the mentioned materials above are currently gaining much more importance in the food industry and food science. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.

Bioethanol Production in Algal Bioreactors
(Elsevier, 2024) Onay, M.; Onay, A.
Microalgae are one of the main issues that scientists have been focusing on recently since the valuable compounds and metabolites they contain are used in industry, food, pharmacy, medicine, environmental engineering, and the energy industries. Downstream and upstream processing applications of algae cultures are important for obtaining high-value products. Bioethanol is a type of biofuel that can be obtained from microalgae as a result of sugar production and fermentation processes. The bioethanol process and content are affected by manipulations made in the fermentation process or the types of organisms that provide the fermentation. Furthermore, bioreactor design is an upstream process, and bioreactors are extremely crucial in growing microalgae for fuel production. There are many different sizes, shapes, and materials for bioreactors that can be used to grow microalgae. This study investigates experimental and theoretical bioethanol production from microalgae grown in various materials (glassware or polymeric materials) and bioreactor types (flat, glass bottle, column, loop, thin-film, helical, raceways, and bubble column photobioreactor). © 2025 Elsevier Ltd.

Blockchain for Cybersecurity: Architectures and Challenges
(CRC Press, 2024) Avci, I.; Koca, Ö.Ü.M.
Blockchain technology is a sophisticated database technique that facilitates the transparent exchange of information among a network of businesses. The blockchain database is designed to store data by organizing it into blocks that are interconnected in a chain-like structure. A blockchain may be defined as a cryptographic and digitally recorded register or list that securely stores data. In the context of blockchain technology, data is kept in a series of interconnected blocks arranged sequentially, like a chain. Each block has a timestamp identifying the moment of recording, along with the data that is to be registered in the registry. The data is documented in a manner that ensures accessibility and verifiability for all individuals, with the ability for anyone to get a duplicate of the register. The use of blockchain technology guarantees the transparent and safe storage of documents, eliminating the need for a centralized authority. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the blockchain architecture. This study focuses on the analysis of the security mechanisms used in the blockchain system, with particular emphasis on the comparative evaluation of the four primary blockchain designs. The study focused on the analysis of blockchain applications concerning their implications for cybersecurity and then identified and evaluated their advantages and constraints. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis has been conducted on the primary cybersecurity dangers that may arise inside these apps. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Ghulam Yasin, Amit Kumar Tyagi and Tuan Anh Nguyen; individual chapters, the contributors.
Breeding and Training Search and Rescue Dogs for Disaster Response
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2025) Özsever, O.
Efficient use of time is crucial for the successful extraction of people trapped under debris, buried in avalanches and landslides, or stranded in water during search and rescue operations. The equipment used in search and rescue operations must be functional. Equipment should include concrete breaking tools, motorized handsaws, portable toilets, food, water, shelter, power sources, medical supplies, seismic listening devices capable of detecting faint sounds in rubble piles, digital cameras, and highly trained dogs. When evaluating search and rescue teams established by trainers and handlers, the performance of the dog, the performance and knowledge of the handler, and the performance of the dog and the handler as a team are taken into account. The performance of dogs is the result of training that can last up to two years. Most of the dogs used come from shepherds or hunting breeds. They must be physically, mentally, and anatomically healthy. Dogs are tested in both wilderness and urban environments. In Turkiye, the initial goal should be to reach the presence of at least three search and rescue-cadaver and blood dogs in each district, totaling up to three thousand dogs. Then, we need to quickly increase this number of trained animals to ten thousand. In the earthquake centered on Kahramanmaras, thirteen million four hundred twenty-one thousand people were affected in ten provinces, with thousands killed or injured. Naturally, in cities like Istanbul where earthquakes are expected, more people are at risk. Considering that procurement and training take at least two years, it is crucial to establish search and rescue teams without delay. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
Cancer Stem Cells and Nitric Oxide
(Elsevier, 2023) Taskiran, A.; Demir, A.; Acikgoz, E.; Oktem, G.
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) forming the tumor heterogeneity are thought to be the main reason for ineffective and insufficient conventional cancer treatments including surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy and, therefore, causing relapse, metastasis, and multidrug resistance in the long term. CSCs express specific biomarkers on their surface and, thus, differentiate from non-CSCs. The metabolic and signaling activities of CSCs have been shown to be different from those of non-CSCs, and there are still many unknown activities. CSCs share Wnt, Hedgehog, and Notch signaling pathways and many surface markers with embryonic and adult stem cells, indicating that CSCs are the starting point of tumor formation. Deregulation of intrinsic and extrinsic factors of cells induces altered metabolic activities, including the nitric oxide (NO) metabolism, that have a crucial role in the cell fate. CSCs produce high levels of NO and secrete it in the tumor microenvironment involving a wide range of components such as stromal cells, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune cells, nonimmune cells, and blood vessels. Studies have shown that cancer (stem) cell-derived NO promotes chronic inflammation in the tumor microenvironment, pro-tumorigenic activities of CAFs, drug resistance, invasion, and metastasis. These events are reversible by inhibiting cellular NO by NO-releasing drugs or NO donors in cancer therapy either alone or combined with other cytotoxic drugs. Thereby, NO is suggested to be a promising agent for cancer therapy, prevention of the metastatic cascade, and CSC transformation. Further research is needed to elucidate the highly sophisticated activities of NO and CSCs for the advancements of new therapeutic strategies targeting CSCs. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
