Turkish Journal of Chemistry

ComX pheromone is the major extracellular signaling peptide stimulating transformation in response to high cell density in Bacillus species. In this study, Bacillus mojavensis ComX_{(RO-B-2)} pheromone gene was cloned to pGEMT-Easy vector based on TA cloning of PCR products. The gene encoding 11 amino acid peptides of Bacillus mojavensis RO-B-2 strain ComX pheromone (GLQIYTNWVPS) was obtained by PCR amplification of 2 primers complementary to each other at their 3' end. This eliminated the need for the original bacterial gene as DNA template for PCR. The amplified PCR products were ligated directly without any modification by T4 DNA ligase into pGEMT-Easy …

The tests show that Differential Evolution is the best performer among all approaches on the test data used in the paper. The performances of …


Post-Miocene Deformation In The South Of The Galatean Volcanic Province, Nw Of Central Anatolia (Turkey), Bora Rojay, A. Karaca Jan 2008

Post-Miocene Deformation In The South Of The Galatean Volcanic Province, Nw Of Central Anatolia (Turkey), Bora Rojay, A. Karaca

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Central Anatolia, located on the immense Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt, has a complicated neotectonic evolution, and NE-SW-trending Neogene horsts-graben systems that rejuvenate pre-existing palaeostructures are among the most important structures which help us understand the tectonic evolution of Central Anatolia. Post-Miocene deformational studies were carried out in Miocene-Quaternary sequences situated at the southeastern margin of the Galatean Volcanic Province (NW of Central Anatolia, Turkey) in order to understand the deformational history of Central Anatolia. The structural analyses were based on bedding attitude data and fault plane slip data. Fold analysis in Miocene units gave an asymmetrical fold axis trending 046ºN. Although …


Punctuated Exhumation And Foreland Basin Formation And Infilling In (Circum)-Central Anatolia (Turkey) Associated With The Neo-Tethyan Closure, Durmuş Boztuğ, Haluk Temi̇z, Raymond Jonckheere, Lothar Ratscbacher Jan 2008

Punctuated Exhumation And Foreland Basin Formation And Infilling In (Circum)-Central Anatolia (Turkey) Associated With The Neo-Tethyan Closure, Durmuş Boztuğ, Haluk Temi̇z, Raymond Jonckheere, Lothar Ratscbacher

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Apatite fission-track data indicate that the (circum)-central Anatolian granitoids (CAG) were exhumed during successive shortening phases following continent-continent collisions within the Neo-Tethyan domain in central and east-central Anatolia. The Early to Middle Paleocene exhumation of the CAG is thought to be a consequence of the collision between the Tauride-Anatolide platform (TAP) and the Eurasian plate (EP) following the consumption of the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan strand of the northern Neo-Tethys. The Oligocene exhumation documented by the data for the Kösedağ pluton in east-central Anatolia is considered to be related to the compression due to continuing convergence between the EP and TAP which seems …

The Çamlıdere area, in the Galatean Volcanic Province (Ankara), Turkey, is composed of rhyolitic, andesitic, trachytic, dacitic and locally basaltic rocks. The older volcanic rocks in the studied area are rhyolitic and the younger ones basaltic. The phenocrysts from all the volcanic rocks exhibit some petrographic disequilibrium features such as: (a) coexistence of reversely, normally and oscillatory zoned sieved or unsieved plagioclase in the same rock; (b) wide compositional variation of An% in feldspar phenocrysts; (c) sieved, unsieved, normally and reversely zoned pyroxenes occur together in a single rock; (d) some orthopyroxene phenocrysts are surrounded by clinopyroxene; (e) reaction textures, …


Statistical Earthquake Frequency Analysis For Western Anatolia, Esi̇n Fi̇ruzan Jan 2008

Statistical Earthquake Frequency Analysis For Western Anatolia, Esi̇n Fi̇ruzan

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

In order to apply a statistical earthquake frequency analysis to western Anatolia, the area has been restricted within coordinates 36.50º-40º North and 26.00º-30.00º East. Data used in the analysis belong to the instrumental period from 1.1.1900 to 10.11.2006 (Ms ≥ 4.0). The earthquake record was assumed to be representative of longer periods and the possibility of clusters of seismicity or of extreme magnitude events were ignored. The study area has been divided into eight zones with different seismotectonic properties. All computations have been performed for these zones separately. The earthquake magnitude series is termed as the instantaneous peak over the …

Quaternary Calcrete Development In The Mersin Area, Southern Turkey, Muhsi̇n Eren, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r, Zübeyde Hati̇poğlu, Murat Gül

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Quaternary calcretes are widespread in the Mersin area and occur in a variety of forms. Several distinct calcrete profiles are recognized and subdivided into two major groups defined by mature and immature profiles. Mature calcrete profiles comprise a generally isolated calcrete horizon at the base and hard laminated crust at the top with rarely pisolithic crust in the uppermost part. The immature calcrete profiles consist mainly of an isolated calcrete horizon which is rarely overlain by a laminated crust. Calcrete forms show three main stages of development: (i) a mottled or plugged horizon, comprising isolated calcrete forms such as powdery, …


Relative Sea-Level Changes Of The Lower Cretaceous Deposits In The Chotts Area Of Southern Tunisia, Lazzez Marzouk, Mohamed Ben Youssef Jan 2008

Relative Sea-Level Changes Of The Lower Cretaceous Deposits In The Chotts Area Of Southern Tunisia, Lazzez Marzouk, Mohamed Ben Youssef

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

A transition facies between evaporate and clay, carbonate and siliciclastic deposits occurs within the Lower Cretaceous of Southern Tunisia. The sedimentary deposits comprise four major transgressive-regressive sedimentary sequences with distinctive sabkha, tidal to shallow carbonate marine platform, and mixed siliciclastic ramp environments. Sedimentation rates, as well as thickness and facies changes were controlled by tectonic, climatic and eustatic factors. Transgression pulses encompassing the whole Late Hauterivian-Barremian, Early Aptian and Late Albian have controlled the basin infill. Evaporate and siliciclastic systems pass gradually to carbonate deposition in the Chotts area. Our sedimentation model helps to decipher the roles of tectonics and, …

Optical And Structural Properties Of The Gas_Xse_{1-X}, Gase, Tlgase_2 And Tlins_2 Semiconductors, Aydin Ulubey Kulibekov Jan 2008

Optical And Structural Properties Of The Gas_Xse_{1-X}, Gase, Tlgase_2 And Tlins_2 Semiconductors, Aydin Ulubey Kulibekov

Turkish Journal of Physics

In the present work, crystal structure and optical properties of the layered chalcogenides GaS_xSe_{1-x}, GaSe, TlGaSe_2 and TlInS_2 were investigated in the visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) range of spectra. Partial content of the elements were performed and the space group were determined by help of X-ray diffraction experiments. Making use of the experimental results, we have constructed a scheme of band motion for the transition from GaSe to GaS. It has been established that that the infrared active optical modes show typical two-mode behaviour. DOI: 10.1007/s10762-005-0294-3, 10.1063/1.2128694

Conservation In Developing Countries, Shahina A. Ghazanfar Jan 2008

Conservation In Developing Countries, Shahina A. Ghazanfar

Turkish Journal of Botany

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) set a number of targets to work towards by 2010 in order to aid conserve the world´s biodiversity. Several countries are now aiming at ex-situ and in-situ programmes for the protection and conservation of plant species through the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation targets (GSPC). Is it possible to achieve these targets in rapidly developing countries where the usage of land for urban expansion and agriculture to support basic human needs holds priority? How can conservation and development be sustainable? I take examples from a rapidly developing country in the Arabian Peninsula to show …

Herbaceous Plant Cover Establishment In A Barren Materials Quarry, Nikolaos Arambatzis, Kitikidou Kyriaki Jan 2008

Herbaceous Plant Cover Establishment In A Barren Materials Quarry, Nikolaos Arambatzis, Kitikidou Kyriaki

Turkish Journal of Botany

The ability to establish cover using grass and legume species without any soil preparation was studied in a barren materials quarry. The biodiversity indexes (Simpson) during the growing season as well as the vegetation cover and composition were measured. The results showed that the established species had a satisfactory cover (up to 87.5%). This means that we can achieve significant soil rehabilitation after mining using herbaceous plant cover and reduce the cost of rehabilitation by cutting the expenses of soil preparation.

Platinum-Group Minerals (Pgm) And Other Solid Inclusions In The Elbistan-Kahramanmaraş Mantle-Hosted Ophiolitic Chromitites, South-Eastern Turkey: Their Petrogenetic Significance, İbrahi̇m Uysal

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Elbistan-Kahramanmaraş podiform ophiolitic chromitites, in southeastern Turkey, contain abundant primary inclusions of platinum-group minerals (PGM), base-metals sulphides (BMS) and silicates. These inclusions are very small, generally less than 15 microns in size, and mostly occur in chromian spinel. The following PGM have been recognized: laurite, iridium, irarsite, ruarsite and several unidentified PGE phases. Millerite, pentlandite, bornite, digenite, chalcopyrite and betekhtinite are the BMS that have been identified. Mg-rich hornblende, accompanied by rare olivine, clinopyroxene and phlogopite, are the most abundant silicate inclusions. Most of the PGM, BMS and silicate inclusions are considered primary, i.e. formed during the high temperature …
