The aims of this study were to improve the functional and nutritional properties of fermented black carrot juice by using sweet and acid whey in the production of fermented black carrot juice, to transform whey into a value-added product and to determine the effect of whey addition on the fermentation process. Whey was utilized as a water substitute in the formulation of the beverage prior to fermentation, and five distinct formulations were developed based on the type and proportion of whey (0% whey (control sample), 25% acid whey, 100% acid whey, 25% sweet whey, 100% sweet whey). Microbiological, sensorial, phytochemical, and physicochemical analyses were performed on samples taken during fermentation and on samples fermented and then resting.

In this context, catalysts are needed for the electrochemical reactions of DMFCs (direct methanol fuel cells) to work efficiently. In this study, Pt and Pt@Ti-MOF (Pt@MIL-125) NPs (nanoparticles) catalysts were synthesized by chemical synthesis.

Nanoscale materials increase the sensitivity and efficiency of sensors by better understanding and managing the properties and interactions of the structure to be sensed. Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQD), which work with the concept of fluorescence quenching or switching on because of specific processes in the presence of glucose, are one type of nanoscale material added to these sensors.

Objective: The changes in the inner ear affect both the cochlea and the vestibule and these effects are observed after cochlear implantation surgery. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effect of unilateral cochlear implant use on vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in children.
Methods: In the current study, 29 cochlear implanted children, aged 7-18 years, were include as the study group and 32 children, in the same age range, were included with normal-hearing as the control group.
