    Nmr Studies on Natural and Synthetic Amavadin
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2000) Armstrong, Elaine M.; Collison, David; Ertok, Nigar; Garner, Catherine D.
    The stereochemistry of isolated natural product Amavadin, which contains a 1:2 complex of V(IV) with N-hydroxyimino-2,2′-dipropionic acid (HIDPAH3), and some synthetic complexes have been investigated. Amavadin was isolated from Amanita muscaria and oxidized with [NH4]2[Ce(NO3)6]. H2[Δ-V(S,S-HIDPA)2].3H2O, H2[Δ,Λ-V(S,S-HIDPA)2].3H2O and their equivalent oxidized species have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. A combination of COSY, NOE, 1H, 13C-NMR and CD spectroscopy have been used to prove that the isolated natural product Amavadin consists of an almost equal mixture of the Δ- and Λ-isomers of [V(S,S-HIDPA)2]2-.

    Characterization of Materials Used in the Execution of Historic Oil Paintings by Xrd, Sem-Eds, Tga and Libs Analysis
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Şerifaki, Kerem; Böke, Hasan; Yalçın, Şerife; İpekoğlu, Başak
    In this study, material characteristics of historic oil paintings in a 19th century church in Ayvali{dotless}k/Turkey were investigated to propose the treatments to be used in their conservation and protection. For this purpose, physical, chemical and mineralogical compositions and the microstructure of the paintings were determined by X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope, Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer, Differential Scanning Calorimeter, Infrared Spectroscopy and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy. Analysis results showed that the paintings were composed of very thin binding and white priming layers on which the pigments were applied. Binding layers were composed of polymerized vegetable oil with Zinc Oxide. Priming layers were composed of anglesite mineral in polymerized vegetable oil. Pigments used in paintings were mainly green earth, red chrome and iron oxide.

    Hydrogen Sulfide Determination by Solid Surface Luminescence
    (Springer Verlag, 1996) Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Volkan, Mürvet; Bayramlı, Erdal; Ataman, O. Yavuz; Mark, Harry B.
    In the analytical system suggested, atmospheric hydrogen sulfide reacts with the surface of a filter paper treated with aqueous cadmium chloride and yields a luminescent species whose intensity can be correlated with the analyte concentration in ambient air. It was shown that the luminescent species are CdS solid particles which were formed in a well defined size. The paper luminescence was also tried on polymeric surfaces; polyethyleneoxide, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose were found to give a similar luminescence signal. The system can be used on the tip of an optical fiber for an irreversible, cumulative type of analytical device for hydrogen sulfide determination. The 3s detection limit for the paper luminescence detection system was 7.8 ppb H2S.

    The Effect of Additives on Hydrodesulfurization of Dibenzothiophene Over Bulk Molybdenum Sulfide: Increased Catalytic Activity in the Presence of Phenol
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2008) Gül, Ömer; Atanur, Osman M.; Artok, Levent; Erbatur, Oktay
    The effect of various additive organic reagents on the activation of MoS3 as molybdenum sulfide catalyst precursor during hydrodesulfurization reaction of dibenzothiophene was studied. It was found that the presence of phenol or 1-naphthol greatly promoted the activity of the catalyst, while tetralin, 9,10-dihydrophenanthrene, ethylbenzene, and pyridine reagents were found to be detrimental for the activity of the catalyst.

    Determination of the Particle Interactions, Rheology and the Surface Roughness Relationship for Dental Restorative Ceramics
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Kes, Mürşide; Polat, Hürriyet; Keleşoğlu, Serkan; Polat, Mehmet; Aksoy, Gökhan
    The effect of inter-particle interactions on the slurry properties and the final surface roughness of the dental ceramic restoratives was investigated. A commercial dental ceramic powder, IPS Empress 2 veneer, was used as the raw material. The magnitudes of the particle-particle interactions were computed by the DLVO theory for the ceramic slurries of different electrolyte solutions (0.1 M, 0.25 M, 0.5 M, 0.75 M, 1 M NaCl and CaCl2). As expected, the energies of particle-particle interactions were influenced significantly by the presence of electrolytes. These computations demonstrated that addition of electrolytes leads to a progressive depression of the repulsive double layer forces. The absence of these forces should inevitably lead to agglomeration caused by the ever-present van der Waals forces. The rheological measurements carried out using the slurries with same solution properties supported the findings of the DLVO computations. It was found that dental ceramic slurries showed a Newtonian behavior in the absence of electrolytes, which is indicative of little or no agglomeration in the slurry. On the other hand, the same slurries displayed a non-Newtonian, shear thinning behavior in the presence of electrolytes which can be attributed to agglomeration or gelation. Roughness of the ceramic surfaces produced from these slurries was studied by SEM analysis and profilometer measurements. Contact angle studies were also carried out on the same surfaces. It was observed that the surface became rougher initially with electrolyte addition to a maximum, most probably due to formation of isolated agglomerates due to a reduction of the repulsive double layer forces. After reaching a maximum, surface roughness decreased to a much lower value with further increase in electrolyte concentration. This was most probably caused by the formation of a relatively homogeneous, gel-like structure within the extensively agglomerated slurry due to a complete collapse of the double layer.

    Assessment of the Molecular Weight Distribution of Tannin Fractions Through Maldi-Tof Ms Analysis of Protein-Tannin Complexes
    (American Chemical Society, 2007) Mané, C.; Sommerer, N.; Yalçın, Talat; Cheynier, V.; Cole, R. B.; Fulcrand, H.
    An innovative mass spectrometry method was developed for determining mass distributions of tannin fractions that cannot be approached through direct MALDI-TOF analysis. It was applied to three procyanidin fractions with average degrees of polymerizations = 3, 9, and 28, respectively, and one gallotannin fraction (Tara tannin). The proposed approach consists of MALDI-TOF analysis of the soluble complexes formed between these tannin fractions and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Complexes were detected as an unresolved "hump" following the BSA signal, and spectra were mathematically processed to determine the parameters relative to the protein-tannin complexes, which are the number-average molecular weight (Mn), the weight-average molecular weight (Mw), and the polydispersity index (PI) for each tannin fraction. Regarding condensed tannins, results are consistent with those of the standard method (thiolysis followed by HPLC separation) for all tested fractions. The method was successfully applied to a hydrolyzable tannin fraction but no standard method is available for comparison.

    Cobalt Coated Substrate for Matrix-Free Analysis of Small Molecules by Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Yalçın, Talat; Li, Liang
    Small molecule analysis is one of the most challenging issues in matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. We have developed a cobalt coated substrate as a target for matrix-free analysis of small molecules in laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry. Cobalt coating of 60-70 nm thickness has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction, and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy. This target facilitates hundreds of samples to be spotted and analyzed without mixing any matrices, in a very short time. This can save a lot of time and money and can be a very practical approach for the analysis of small molecules by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.

    Preparation and Characterization of Activated Carbons by One-Step Steam Pyrolysis/Activation From Apricot Stones
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Şentorun-Shalaby, Çiğdem; Uçak Astarlıoğlu, Mine G.; Artok, Levent; Sarıcı, Çiğdem
    The activated carbons were prepared from Malatya (a city located in the south-east of Turkey) apricot stones by one-step steam pyrolysis/activation process and characterized for their pore structures. Three kinds of apricot stones that differ in their sulfur content, because of the different drying processes, were chosen for this study to investigate the effect of sulfur in the activated carbon production. The effect of process variables, such as activation temperature, soak time, and particle size range was studied on these samples. The activation temperature and time tested were in the ranges of 650-850 °C for 1-4 h. The activated carbons were evaluated for their chemical (elemental composition), surface (BET surface area, mercury porosimetry), and adsorption (iodine number) properties. Carbonization behavior of the apricot stones was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to follow the changes in the carbon texture upon activation. The experimental results revealed that carbons obtained by the same conditions of activation show differences in their pore structures and adsorption characteristics due to their sulfur contents. The highest BET surface area carbon (1092 m2/g) was obtained from the low sulfur content (0.04%) apricot stone with a particle size range of 1-3.35 mm at the activation conditions of 800 °C for 4 h. The experimental results showed that commercial production of porous activated carbons from Malatya apricot stones is feasible in Turkey.

    Corrigendum To “modification of a Montmorillonite–illite Clay Using Alkaline Hydrothermal Treatment and Its Application for the Removal of Aqueous Cs+ Ions” [j. Colloid Interface Sci. 295 (2006) 303–309]
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Öztop, Bahar; Shahwan, Talal
    Unfortunately, we noticed that Ref. [8], which was cited three times in our article, was mistakenly not cited also in the experimental part as the reference on which we based our hydrothermal treatment process. In light of this, the first paragraph of the experimental section (pages 303 and 304) should read...

    Modification of a Montmorillonite-Illite Clay Using Alkaline Hydrothermal Treatment and Its Application for the Removal of Aqueous Cs+ Ions
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Öztop, Bahar; Shahwan, Talal
    A montmorillonite-illite clay was modified using alkaline hydrothermal treatment (reflux method) and applied to the removal of aqueous Cs+ ions. The alkaline solutions were prepared by dissolving NaOH in seawater and in distilled water, and the effect of the two alkaline media on the sorption capacities of the modified clay was discussed. The modified materials were characterized using XRD, SEM/EDS, and FTIR. As a result of the modification, the original mineral was partially transformed into a zeolitic material with spherical morphology. The results showed that the modification improved the Cs+ uptake capacity of the starting clay, with the clay modified in distilled water medium demonstrating higher sorption capacity. The sorption data were adequately described using the Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models.
