Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Analytical Improvement on the Electromagnetic Scattering From Deformed Spherical Conducting Objects(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021) Kuştepeli, Alp; Kuştepeli, Alp; Çetin, Zebih; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyIn this paper, electromagnetic scattering from con-ducting deformed spheres is considered analytically by employing the perturbation method and utilizing Debye potentials. To be able to analyze a wide variety of scattering problems, azimuthal variation is indispensable and therefore the geometries of the scatterers considered in this study do not have rotational symmetry, hence they are dependent on the θ and φ angles in spherical coordinates. Analyses are carried up to the second order explicitly to obtain more accurate results and thus scattered fields are obtained with second order corrections. The coefficients used to determine the scattered field are expressed in terms of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, which enables one to obtain the results for new geometries only by simple algebraic manipulations. Numerical results and their comparisons are also presented for various deformation functions and parameters. IEEEArticle Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Use of Amberlite Xad-7hp for the Separation of Mn(ii) and Mn(vii) in Waters(Pleiades Publishing, 2017) Erdem Yayayürük, Aslı; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA simple method is proposed for the determination and speciation of Mn(II) and Mn(VII) in waters utilizing a macroporous resin, Amberlite XAD-7HP. The batch method was employed and flame atomic absorption spectrometry was used in all determinations. Amberlite XAD-7HP resin was shown to retain Mn(VII) between pH 4 and 12. If the solution contains only one of the species, either Mn(II) or Mn(VII), the resin behaves selectively depending on the pH of the solution. The elution from the sorbent was realized using K2C2O4 in HNO3. The efficiency of the method was checked via spike recovery experiments. The proposed method was successfully applied to industrial wastewater samples and quantitative recoveries (≥96.0%) confirmed the accuracy of the method.Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 40Characterization of Two Genes Encoding Metal Tolerance Proteins From Beta Vulgaris Subspecies Maritima That Confers Manganese Tolerance in Yeast(Springer Verlag, 2013) Erbaşol, Işıl; Bozdağ, Gönensin Ozan; Koç, Ahmet; Pedas, Pia; Karakaya, Hüseyin Çağlar; Karakaya, Hüseyin Çağlar; 04.03. Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyManganese (Mn2+) is an essential micronutrient in plants. However increased Mn2+ levels are toxic to plant cells. Metal tolerance proteins (MTPs), member of cation diffusion facilitator protein (CDF) family, have important roles in metal homeostatis in different plant species and catalyse efflux of excess metal ions. In this study, we identified and characterized two MTP genes from Beta vulgaris spp. maritima (B. v. ssp. maritima). Overexpression of these two genes provided Mn tolerance in yeast cells. Sequence analyses displayed BmMTP10 and BmMTP11as members of the Mn-CDF family. Functional analyses of these proteins indicated that they are specific to Mn2+ with a role in reducing excess cellular Mn2+ levels when expressed in yeast. GFP-fusion constructs of both proteins localized to the Golgi apparatus as a punctuated pattern. Finally, Q-RT-PCR results showed that BmMTP10 expression was induced threefold in response to the excess Mn2+ treatment. On the other hand BmMTP11 expression was not affected in response to excess Mn2+ levels. Thus, our results suggest that the BmMTP10 and BmMTP11 proteins from B. v. ssp. maritima have non-redundant functions in terms of Mn2+ detoxification with a similar in planta localization and function as the Arabidopsis Mn-CDF homolog AtMTP11 and this conservation shows the evolutionary importance of these vesicular proteins in heavy metal homeostatis among plant species.
