Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Pyrimidine derivatives are well known due to their remarkable pharmacological potential in various fields of science, and they are also present in some natural substances like DNA and RNA. These scaffolds manifest diversified biological activities such as antimicrobial, antiinflammatory, anti-HIV, antitubercular, antitumor, antineoplastic, and antimalarial. A pyrimidine ring is constructed when chalcones, amidines, guanidine, nitriles, isocyanates, urea, thiourea, and aminopyrazoles undergo condensation, coupling, or cyclization reactions. In this context, the present review illustrates a variety of novel and efficient synthetic approaches towards the synthesis of pyrimidine and its derivatives that were reported recently.

Novel Optical Sensor-Based Method For Determining Total Tocopherol Content In Serum, Mustafa Bener, Mustafa Reşat Apak
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Lipid-soluble endogenous antioxidants, such as tocopherols, protect biological structures from oxidative damage through their chain-breaking ability and thus the development of a simple method for tocopherol determination is important. In this study, a novel optical sensor-based method was proposed for determining total tocopherol content (TTC) of serum, with selectivity for $\alpha $-tocopherol over $\beta $-carotene. The proposed method is based on the use of a copper(II)-neocuproine complex (Cu(II)-Nc) reagent immobilized onto a Nafion membrane, and the absorbance changes associated with the formation of Cu(I)-Nc chelate on the membrane strip as a result of reaction with serum tocopherols were measured at …

Topological Feature Extraction Of Nonlinear Signals And Trajectories And Its Application In Eeg Signals Classification, Saleh Lashkari, Ali Sheikhani, Mohammad Reza Hashemi Golpayegani, Ali Moghimi, Hamid Reza Kobravi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This study introduces seven topological features that characterize attractor dynamic of nonlinear and chaotic trajectories in a phase space. These features quantify volume, occupied space, nonuniformity, and curvature of trajectory. The features are evaluated as initial point invariant measures by a practical approach, which means that a feature is only sensitive to dynamic changes. The Lorenz and Rossler system trajectories are employed in this evaluation. Moreover, the proposed features are used in a real world application, i.e. epileptic seizure electroencephalogram signal classification. As the result shows, these features are efficient in this task in comparison with others studies that used …

Natural Mates Of Frenet Curves In Euclidean 3-Space, Sharief Deshmukh, Bang-Yen Chen, Azeb Alghanemi
Natural Mates Of Frenet Curves In Euclidean 3-Space, Sharief Deshmukh, Bang-Yen Chen, Azeb Alghanemi
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
For each Frenet curve $\alpha $ in the Euclidean 3-space $\mathbb{E}^{3}$, there exists a unique unit speed curve $\beta$ tangent to the principal normal vector field of $\alpha $. We simply call this curve $\beta $ the natural mate of $\alpha$. The main purpose of this paper is to prove some relationships between a Frenet curve and its natural mate. In particular, we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for the natural mate of a Frenet curve to be a helix, a spherical curve, or a curve of constant curvature. Several applications of our main results are also presented.

The Effect Of Green Tea Waste Extract On Ruminal Degradability And Intestinal Digestibility Of Barley Grain, Mohammad Nasehi, Nor Mohammad Torbatinejad, Morteza Rezaie, Taghi Ghoorchi
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of green tea waste extract (GE) on ruminal degradability and intestinal digestibility of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), and starch of barley grain. Therefore, barley grain was treated with 0 as control, and 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of GE. The potential of DM degradability (a + b) of barley grain treated with 15% and 20% of GE was significantly lower compared to other treatments (Linear [L] P < 0.05). The lowest (a + b) fraction of CP degradability was found in the barley grain treated with 20% GE (L P < 0.05). The (a + b) fraction and effective degradability of starch in barley grain treated with 15% and 20% of GE were significantly lower than those in other treatments (L and quadratic [Q] P < 0.05). The highest intestinal DM, CP, and starch digestibility were associated with barley grain treated with 10% GE (L and Q P < 0.05). Based on recent results, processing barley grain with GE leads to a decrease of DM, CP, and starch degradability. The treatment of 10% GE improved intestinal digestibility of the aforementioned nutrients; therefore, it can be used to protect barley grain against ruminal degradability.
