Conference Object Use of Ion Flotation To Remove Copper From Waste Waters(2006) Erdoğan, Demet; Polat, Hürriyet; İpekoğlu, ÜnerFlotation studies were carried out to investigate the removal of copper from wastewaters. Various parameters such as pH, surfactant and frother concentrations and airflow rate were tested to determine the optimum flotation conditions. Sodium dodecyl sulfate and Hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide were used as collectors. Recoveries as high as 90% could be to obtained under optimum conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 41Determination of Olive Oil Adulteration With Vegetable Oils by Near Infrared Spectroscopy Coupled With Multivariate Calibration(SAGE Publications, 2010) Öztürk, Betül; Yalçın, Ayşegül; Özdemir, DurmuşThere has been growing public awareness about the health benefits of olive oil throughout the world in recent years, resulting in a significant increase in its consumption as part of the daily diet This demand has attracted fraudulent attempts to market olive oil which has been adulterated with cheaper oils. This study focuses on the near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic determination of adulteration of olive oil by vegetable oils using multivariate calibration. The binary, ternary and quaternary mixtures of olive, soybean, cotton, corn, canola and sunflower oils were prepared using a random design. The absorbance spectra of these synthetic samples were measured by a near infrared (NIR) spectrometer. A genetic algorithm-based variable selection algorithm, coupled with an inverse least squares multivariate calibration method (GILS) was used to build calibration models for possible adulterants and olive oil in the adulterated mixtures The correlation coefficients of actual versus predicted concentrations resulting from multivariate calibration models for the different oils were between 0 90 and 0.99 The results demonstrated that NIR spectroscopy in conjunction with the GILS method makes it possible to determine the adulteration of olive oils regardless of adulterant vegetable oils over a wide range of concentrations.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Transition-Metal Direct C-H Arylation of Thiophene in Aqueous Media Via Potassium Peroxymonosulfate(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019) Özenler, Sezer; Kaya, Hakan; Elmacı, Nuran; Yıldız, Ümit HakanThis study covers the use of potassium peroxymonosulfate (PPS) which, is a mild and inexpensive catalyst, for direct coupling of C-H/C-H for water soluble thiophene. The 3-(4-methyl-3 '- thienyloxy)propyltriethylammonium bromide (M1) has been selected as model monomer that reacted PPS in 2.0, 0.20 and 0.020 monomer to PPS ratio. The reaction has been monitored via NMR spectroscopy revealing the monomer consumption and formation of dimers to tetramers as well as completion of reaction within 15 minutes. Resultant product is easily collected without tedious work up steps. The computational calculation has optimized the regularity of the coupling as head to tail, tail to tail, head to tail (HT-TT-HT) for tetramer. The regularity of tetramer which is further satisfied via NMR analysis showing emergence of new peaks at 3.56 and 4.48. The shifts in the UV maximum of reactive species have been monitored by absorbance spectroscopy showing time dependent red shift corresponds to growing from monomer to tetramers. The reaction has self-stopped due to low solubility of moderate condensates (higher than trimer), however further experiments have performed in water-organic mixtures showed great promises to obtain higher condensates.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Enhanced Spontaneous Emission Rate in a Low-Q Hybrid Photonic-Plasmonic Nanoresonator(American Chemical Society, 2019) Gökbulut, Belkıs; İnanç, Arda; Topçu, Gökhan; Ünlütürk, Seçil Sevim; Özçelik, Serdar; Demir, Mustafa Muammer; İnci, Mehmet NaciIn this paper, CdTe quantum dots (QDs)-doped single electrospun polymer nanofibers are partially coated with gold nanoparticles to form distinct hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanoresonators to investigate the critical role of the cavity-confined hybrid mode on the modification of the spontaneous emission dynamics of the fluorescent emitters in low-Q photonic cavities. A total enhancement factor of 11.2 is measured via a time-resolved experimental technique, which shows that there is an increase of about three times in the spontaneous emission rate for the QDs-doped gold nanoparticle-decorated nanofibers as they are compared with those uncoated ones. The physical mechanism affecting the spontaneous emission rate of the encapsulated QDs in such a hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanoresonator is explained to be due to regeneration of the mode field in the nanofiber cavity upon the interaction of the dipoles with the surface plasmons of distinctive gold nanoparticles that surround the outer surface of the nanofiber.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 37Flow-Through Colorimetric Assay for Detection of Nucleic Acids in Plasma(Elsevier, 2019) Ammanath, Gopal; Yeasmi, Sanjida; Srinivasulu, Yuvasri; Vats, Mukti; Cheema, Jamal Ahmed; Nabilah, Fairuz; Liedberg, Bo; Yıldız, Ümit HakanA flow-through colorimetric assay for detection of nucleic acids in plasma is reported. The proposed assay features an array of four polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes impregnated with cationic poly (3-alkoxy-4-methylthiophene) (PT) as an optical reporter. The sensing strategy is based on monitoring the changes in optical properties of PT, upon complexation with target nucleic acids in the presence and in the absence of their corresponding complementary peptide nucleic acids (PNAs). As a proof of concept, the proposed methodology is validated using two biomarkers; lung cancer associated microRNA (mir21) and hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV-DNA). The flow-through colorimetric assay enabled detection of mir21 and HBV-DNA in plasma without requiring tedious sample pre-treatment and clean up protocols. Colorimetric responses for mir21 and HBV-DNA were obtained at nanomolar concentrations over five orders of magnitudes (from 1 nM to 10 mu M), with a limit of detection of -0.6 nM and -2 nM in DI water and plasma, respectively. A logic gate system was developed to utilize the colorimetric assay responses as inputs for discrimination of mir21 and HBV-DNA and subsequently to obtain a profile of nucleic acids in samples that exceed respective clinical threshold limits, thereby enabling rapid and point of care (POC) disease diagnosis. Furthermore, the proposed methodology can be utilized for detection of a large number of nucleic acids in plasma by extending the array of PT impregnated membranes incorporated with their corresponding complementary PNAs.

The single chain Pdot formation relies on a simple process which is a rapid nanophase separation between CPE solution of ethylene glycol and water. Pdots show narrow monodisperse size distribution with a 3.6 nm in diameter exhibiting high brightness and excellent colloidal and optical stability. It has been demonstrated that photoluminescent Pdots provide selective nuclear translocation to hepatocellular carcinoma cells as compared to healthy liver cells. The Pdot labeling effectively discriminates cancer cells in the coculture media. Pdots hold great promise as a luminescent probe to diagnose cancer cells in histology and may guide surgeons during operations to precisely separate out cancerous tissue due to augmented fluorescence brightness.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Synthesis and Structures of 1,3,2,4,5-Diazatriborolidines(Elsevier, 2019) Fırıncı, Erkan; Sevinçek, Resul; Bursalı, Banu; Özgener, Hüseyin; Burgaz, Osman; Şen, Ceren; Şahin, YükselThe derivatives of diazatriborolidine are a class of 5-membered heterocyclic compounds containing a ring with two nitrogen atoms and three boron atoms. The 1,3,2,4,5-diazatriborolidine derivatives were synthesized from 1,2-bis(N-lithium-arylamino) diborane(4) and dichloro-dimethylaminoborane with high yield. The structures of these new derivatives were determined using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 3a, 3b, 3d, 4b and 4c were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their structural features were discussed and compared with similar diazatriborolidines. In addition, the enthalpy of formation of B and N atoms containing five membered heterocycles were calculated theoretically for the first time. Also, an easy and efficient synthesis route has been reported for preparation of 1,3,2,4,5-diazatriborolidine derivatives.Article Citation - WoS: 169Citation - Scopus: 177Thin Film Microextraction: Towards Faster and More Sensitive Microextraction(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Ölçer, Yekta Arya; Tascon, Marcos; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Boyacı, EzelThin film microextraction (TFME) is an analytical tool that has been proven to be suitable for integrated sampling and sample preparation of a wide variety of routine and on-site applications. Compared to the traditional microextraction techniques, the most important advantage of TFME is its enhanced sensitivity due to the relatively larger extractive phase spread over a larger surface area. The technique, in this way, facilitates fast extraction kinetics and high extractive capacity. Moreover, TFME offers high versatility for device development over classical SPME technologies due to the plethora of available extractive phases, coating methods and geometry options. The goal of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the contemporary advances in this exciting field covering novel extractive phases, technological and methodological developments, and relevant cutting-edge applications. Finally, a critical discussion of the future trends on TFME is also presented. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

In the ball-type Pc molecule, two cofacially arranged Pc rings have four bridged substituents on the peripheral positions of benzenes. Due to their cofacially arranged phthalocyanine rings and, strong intramolecular and intermolecular interactions, ball-type phthalocyanines have different properties than their parent molecule and these structures have many potential application areas. This review describes three different synthesis methods of ball-type phthalocyanines; synthesis in the solvent, synthesis in solid, and synthesis under microwave irradiation. The synthesis that occurs in the shortest time with the highest yield is the synthesis in the solid phase. General differences between a ball-type phthalocyanine and a monophthalocyanine, such as differences in electronic spectra and effects of cofacial arrangement and central metal atoms, are also discussed. The shape of the Q-bands indicates the differences in electronic spectra. In ball-type Pcs, the Q-bands are broad and have poor resolution. Some potential applications, such as gas sensors, NLO devices, potential usage in photodynamic therapy and artificial photosynthesis of ball-type phthalocyanines are also mentioned. Ball-type Pcs can be used as a sensor for gases such as; CO2, CO, SO2, VOC. A novel water-soluble ball-type Pc may have potential application in PDT. Finally, we consider future prospects of these molecules.Editorial Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Kras(g12c) Inhibitors on the Horizon(Future Science, 2019) Çağır, Ali; Azmi, Asfar S.RAS proteins (the four isoforms KRAS4A, KRAS4B, NRAS and HRAS encoded by three genes KRAS, NRAS and HRAS) act as molecular switches that when activated drive several key cellular processes such as cell growth, proliferation and survival [1]. In normal cells, RAS activity is under tight control by the precise activation (binding to GTP) and inactivation (GTP hydrolysis to GDP) [1]. As with other critical proteins, it is not at all surprising to note that the gene encoding the RAS protein isoforms is found mutated or altered in a significant proportion of tumors [2]. Mutant RAS loses its ability to hydrolyze GTP and remains in a permanently activated state (bound to GTP) leading to uncontrolled growth.
