Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Abstract. Nanogram quantities of nickel were removed from 1 L samples of dilute aqueous solutions by coflotation. A mixture of hydrated iron(III) oxide (Fe_2O_3\( \cdot \)xH_2O) and iron(III) hexamethylene-dithiocarbamate (Fe(HMDTC)_3) served as collectors. After flotation separation from the mother liquor, the solid sublate containing nickel traces was dissolved and the analyte was determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). All important parameters necessary for the successful collection of nickel were checked. The results of nickel ETAAS analysis in tap and spring waters were compared with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emis-sion spectrometric measurements (ICP-AES). The limit detection of nickel by the ETAAS …

Investigation Of The Influence Of Thiocarbamide In The Process Of Carbamide Deparaffinization, Sevi̇l Veli̇yeva

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The influence of thiocarbamide in the process of carbamide dewaxing was investigated. The dependence of separated paraffins on the quantity of thiocarbamide was examined experimentally. It was determined that the separation of paraffins becomes equal to zero when moles of carbamide and thiocarbamide in water-isopropyl alcohol solution are equal. The low-temperature qualities (the temperature of dimness and freezing) of dewaxed fuels were also examined. By using infrared spectroscopy methods, the compound of received paraffins was investigated.

The Hî² Index As An Age Indicator Of Old Stellar Systems: The Effects Of Horizontal-Branch Stars, Hyun Chul Lee, Suk Jin Yoon, Young Wook Lee

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

The strength of the Hβ index is computed for the integrated spectra of model globular clusters from the evolutionary population synthesis. For the first time, these models take into account the detailed systematic variation of horizontal-branch (HB) morphology with age and metallicity. Our models show that the Hβ index is significantly affected by the presence of blue HB stars. Because of the contribution from blue HB stars, the Hβ does not monotonically decrease as metallicity increases at a given age. Instead, it reaches a maximum strength when the distribution of HB stars is centered around 9500 K, the temperature at …

Robust Test For Detecting Nonstationarity In Data From Gravitational Wave Detectors, Soumya Mohanty

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

It is difficult to choose detection thresholds for tests of nonstationarity that assume a priori a noise model if the data are statistically uncharacterized to begin with. This is a potentially serious problem when an automated analysis is required, as would be the case for the huge data sets that large interferometric gravitational wave detectors will produce. A solution is proposed in the form of a robust time-frequency test for detecting nonstationarity whose threshold for a specified false alarm rate is almost independent of the statistical nature of the ambient stationary noise. The efficiency of this test in detecting bursts …

Critical Adsorption On Defects In Ising Magnets And Binary Alloys, Andreas Hanke

Physics & Astronomy Faculty Publications

Long-range correlations in a magnet close to its critical point or in a binary alloy close to a continuous order-disorder transition can substantially enhance the effect of local perturbations. It is demonstrated using a position-space renormalization procedure that quasi-one-dimensional defects which break the symmetry of the order parameter have pronounced effects: They cause long-range critical adsorption profiles and give rise to new universal critical exponents, which are identified and calculated using field-theoretical methods.

A Comparison Of The Effectiveness Of Pc-Based Aviation Training Devices And Conventional Flight Training Devices For Instrument Flight Training, Wendy S. Beckman

Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education & Research

Since the time instrument flight became common, ground training devices have been used to teach students basic instrument flight skills. The skills which students learn in these ground trainers are then transferred to an aircraft during later stages of training. There are three types of ground training devices that are recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration for flight training purposes. The first type of device is called a "simulator," which is a device “that exactly duplicates the performance and physical aspects of a specific airplane" (Butcher, 1996). Simulators are multi-million dollar machines, which are mounted on hydraulic legs and have …

International Copyright: From A "Bundle" Of National Copyright Laws To A Supranational Code?, Jane C. Ginsburg

Faculty Scholarship

In recent years, the number and content of substantive norms that international copyright treaties impose on member states have increased considerably. It is therefore appropriate to consider the extent to which those instruments have in effect created an international (or at least multinational) copyright code, as well as to inquire what role national copyright laws do and should have in an era not only of international copyright norms, but of international dissemination of copyrighted works. This Article first considers the displacement of national norms through the evolution of a de facto international copyright code, elaborated in multilateral instruments such as …

Wavelet Analysis Of Acoustic Signals, John E. Smertneck

Theses

Wavelets and wavelet transforms have become popular new tools in the fields of signal processing and mathematical modeling because of the various advantages they have over traditional techniques. The Fourier Transform decomposes a signal into a frequency spectrum at the loss of time domain information. Wavelet transforms involve decomposing a signal into various levels to study frequency patterns over time. High frequency characteristics in the lower levels and low frequency characteristics in the higher levels allow the analyst to make predictions regarding the nature of the signal.

This case involved the study of tuning fork frequency characteristics using the Discrete …

Fundamental Noise Studies In Flame Atomic Magneto-Optic Rotation And Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, Ahmet T. İnce, Richard D. Snook, Jhon B. Dawson

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A study of inherent noise sources present in a purpose built flame atomic magneto-optic rotation (AMOR) spectrometer system was carried out with a view to identifying their sources. Two different optical configurations were employed, a crossed polariser and a 45° offset polariser configuration. The offset polariser configuration was operated in both an AMOR and atomic absorption (AA) mode for the noise measurements. Two main interference frequencies were found to occur in all the optical measurement modes. An interference flame feature frequency (15.5 Hz -39.0 Hz) which arose from an ``organ-pipe'' effect in the gas flow through the flame cooling sheets. …

Studies On The Methylation Of 5-Nitro-Benzimidazoles, Mashooda Hasan, Farzana Shaheen, Uzma Yunus

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Methylation of 2H, 5-nitro- (1) and 2-ethyl, 5-nitro- (2) benzimidazoles separately with methyl iodide in acetone in the presence of potassium carbonate yielded 2H, 5/6-nitro-(3A and 3B) and 2-ethyl, 5/6-nitro- (4A and 4B) methylbenzimidazoles respectively. Methylation of 1 and 2 in dimethylformamide in place of acetone yielded not only 3A, 3B and 4A, 4B respectively, but in addition 1,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-benzimidazol-2-one (5) was also obtained in each case. The structure of the synthesized compounds was determined with the help of mass and ^1H NMR spectroscopic analysis.

Adsorption Of Some Heavy Metal Ions From Aqueous Solution By Activated Carbon And Comparison Of Percent Adsorption Results Of Activated Carbon With Those Of Some Other Adsorbents, İlhan Uzun, Fuat Güzel

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, removal of some heavy metals ions (Mn^{2+}, Fe^{2+}, Ni^{2+} and Cu^{2+}) from aqueous solution by adsorption was investigated. For this purpose, high-grade MnSO_4.H_2O, FeSO_4.7H_2O, NiSO_4.7H_2O and CuSO_4.5H_2O were used as heavy metal samples. The commercial activated carbon (Merck 2514), chitosan and agar were used as adsorbents. The pH of each solution was not controlled. This is because the net interaction between the adsorbent and the heavy metal could be disturbed by the buffer solution. Therefore, all experiments were carried out in a pH range from 5.3 to 5.5. The equilibrium adsorption contact times were determined for M …

Electroreduction Of Some Diazine And Triazine Pesticides At The Dropping Mercury Electrode, Petr Zuman, Marina Privman, Masami Shibata, Jiri Ludvik

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Electroanalytical methods enable determination of electroactive species in nonhomogeneous systems, as limiting currents are little affected by the presence of solid and colloidal particles. An example of such applications of electrochemical methods are studies of binding of toxic substances, such as pesticides, on slightly soluble polymers, such as lignin. To successfully apply polarographic methods for following free pesticides in a slurry of lignin, it is first necessary in principle to elucidate the electrochemical processes involved. In aqueous buffered solutions the electron transfers, in which organic compounds participate, are in the majority of cases accompanied by chemical reactions. To elucidate the …

Perceived Personal And Societal Control Of Events And Millennial Irrationalism, Angela Nicole Dennis

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship among millennial irrationalism and the degree to which people believe they have control over the events in their lives as reflected by performance on a locus of control scale. This belief is referred to in this study as internal or external locus of control. It was hypothesized that individuals who feel that they have considerable control over the things that happen to them would express less irrationalism than those who tend to ascribe the course of their lives more to external factors. It was also predicted that there would …
