This work demonstrates an AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) with Cr/Graphene ohmic contacts constructed without heat treatment. The Cr/Graphene ohmic contact was fabricated using a spray-coated graphene nanoflakes solution and electron-beamevaporated Cr. This method does not require a high-temperature annealing step in conventional Ti/Al/Ni/Au ohmic contact. It is suggested that the Cr/graphene combination acts similarly to a doped n-type semiconductor in contact with AlGaN/GaN heterostructures, enabling carrier transport to the AlGaN layer.

The derived temperature dependences of the peak intensities, separations and half-widths of the separate spectral peaks in the A-band phonon progressions indicate the different trends for vibration-free zero-phonon electronic transition and vibration-related lower-energy electronic transitions to high vibrational levels of the ground electronic state – lower thermal damping and more softened phonon for the zero-phonon transition, also implying the extended defect origin of the A-band photoluminescence.

The aim of this Master of Engineering (MEng) - Aerospace thesis is to study the structural response and failure of aerospace grade composites during exposure to fire. Key aspects of the research are to analyse the thermal and mechanical responses of laminates and sandwich composites in high temperature and fire environments, which result in softening and structural failure. The research is concentrated on carbon/epoxy laminates and sandwich composites, which are the most common composite materials used in aerospace structures.

Municipal wastewater treatment plants generally utilise biological activated sludge processes to remove organic compounds and nitrogen. The biological nitrogen removal (BNR) occurs in two steps, nitrification (ammonium removal) and denitrification (nitrates removal). This study focused on a medium-sized wastewater treatment plant (WTP) which experienced poor nitrification for years, mainly when the weather temperature drops.

This thesis has two key results, a study on the effect of carbon in electron-beam deposited platinum nano-wires and a novel temperature sensing glass substrate for marker-free thermometry. The thesis focus on the effect of carbon contamination in plasmonic nano-wires composed mainly of platinum produced from FEBID. Because carbon acts as an insulator in the platinum/carbon composite, we model the effect of carbon impurities by reducing the charge carrier concentration inthe platinumwire.

The aim of the work "Activated carbon derived from rice husk by NaOH activation and its application in supercapacitor" is to prepare a low-cost, high specific surface area activated carbon with microporous and mesoporous ranges using rice husk as the raw material. The effects of activation temperature on the specific surface area, pore structure, morphology and thermal stability of the AC samples have been examined. The AC samples were proved to be excellent electrode material for supercapacitor, hence solve the disposal and pollution problems of rice husk.

In this work, the protective effect of ectoines against pH stress and high temperature has been investigated using an alkaline active xylanase from Bacillus halodurans as a model. The disaccharide, trehalose—a well-known stabiliser for biomolecules (Kaushik and Bhat 2003), has also been included in the study. The enzyme was selected as a model because it is efficiently active at high pH and is highly stable in the pH range of 5.5–10.5 at 50 °C.

Thermostable and highly water-soluble polymers are essential for polymer flooding — one of the most effective methods used in the enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in hightemperature (HT) offshore reservoirs. In this research, the copolymerization reaction of acrylamide (AM) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) monomers were performed via a freeradical mechanism induced by gamma-rays (γ-rays) irradiation.

Geothermal energy constitutes an important renewable resource in Turkey that has been extensively utilized for heating buildings, power generation, greenhouse farming and various other industries. One of the most remarkable geothermal locations in Turkey is the low-enthalpy area of Afyon, where five main low-temperature (30–110℃) geothermal fields are exploited. However, further exploration drilling sites have proven inconclusive, casting doubts on the effective presence of high-temperature geothermal systems in the region.

Wet periods are evidenced by dark olive green mixed lithology (sandy, clay, and silts) and high values in MS and log(Sr/Ca). On the other hand, dry periods are associated with light olive green clayey mud lithology and high values in log(Ca/K). We relate the wet periods to negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO–) and the dry periods to NAO+. Additionally, all wet periods are related with time of low solar activity and dry periods, except Dalton Minimum, are related with periods of high solar activity.

: Fluid vents in the Sea of Marmara were discovered and investigated by several studies. In this paper, a numerical model is created for the first time to determine the possible transport mechanism behind those fluid emissions at the seafloor. The finite volume method is used for numerical simulations by implementing a commercial finite volume code, ANSYS-Fluent. The thermal and physical rock properties used in our models are taken from previous studies.

Although the western Anatolian region is a foci for hydrothermal systems, this region has several high heat-generating granitic intrusive bodies that qualify to be candidates for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Considering the future energy requirement, carbon dioxide emissions reduction strategies, food, and water security issues, these granites appear to be the future clean energy source for the country. One such granite intrusive is located in the Kestanbol area in the western Anatolian region.
