Effect Of Current Density On The Microstructure And Morphology Of The Electrodepositednickel Coatings, Amel Boukhouiete, Saliha Boumendjel, Nour-El-Houda Sobhi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The aim of this research work was to study the effect of deposition current density on microstructure and surface morphology of electrodeposited nickel coatings. For this purpose, nickel deposits have been synthesized by direct current from Watts bath without additive, to limit the incorporation of pollutants resulting from surface adsorption or electro-activity of these compounds. Nickel deposits have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry was also used to gain information on the general behavior of the deposition. The optimum conditions of deposition were established and the influence of current density on the grain size, surface …

Dft (Density Functional Theory) Studies On Cycloisomerization Of 15-Memberedtriazatriacetylenic Macrocycle, Mansooreh Movahedi, Nader Zabarjad Hiraz, Ali Ezabadi, Marjaneh Samadizadeh, Mohamad Reza Talei Bavil Olyai

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The mechanism as well the stereochemistry of cascade cycloisomerization of 15-membered triazatriacetylenic macrocycle was investigated theoretically by using M062X/6-31+G(d,p) and M062X/LANL2DZ calculations. The results showed that the mechanism and outcome of the reaction depended on the absence and presence of a transition metal catalyst. So that, in thermal-induced condition, the reaction had to experience several suprafacial concerted reactions including Ene-reaction (ΔG#=35.38 kcal/mol), Diels-Alder cycloaddition (ΔG# = 17.16 kcal/mol), and sigmatropic H-shift rearrangement (ΔG# = 56.21 kcal/mol) to produce diastereoselective fused cis-tetracyclic aromatic bearing a pyrrole moiety by following kinetic considerations. Also, the [2+2+2] cycloaddition mechanism was neglected in thermal?induced conditions …

Cyclodextrin-Active Natural Compounds In Food Applications: A Review Of Antibacterial, Bingren Tian, Yumei Liu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Many natural compounds have excellent activity against different bacteria. However, their food use to inhibit the bacteria is often limited by poor water solubility, or instability to light, heat, oxygen, and other environmental factors. Cyclodextrin combines with these natural compounds could not only overcome these shortcomings, but also increase the antibacterial ability of active compounds. This review focuses on the following aspects of active natural compounds in cyclodextrin-based food: the preparation, food applications, and their possible antibacterial mechanisms of different systems. Both cyclodextrin and its derivatives are able to selectively combine with different guest molecules, such as terpenes, phenols and …

Antiinflammatory Photodynamic Therapy Potential Of Polyoxyethylene-Substituted Perylene Diimide, Nitrocatechol, And Azo Dye, Özgül Hakli, Kasim Ocakoğlu, Furkan Ayaz

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) applications enable light-controlled activation of drug candidates instead of their constitutive activities to prevent undesired side effects associated with their constant activities. A specific wavelength of light is utilized to enable electron mobility in the chemical structure, which results in differential activities that may alter cell viability and cellular functions. Canonical photodynamic therapy applications mostly focus on cytotoxicity-based antimicrobial and anticancer properties of the PDT agents. In this study, we focused on subtoxic concentrations of three different molecules containing polyoxyethylene group and examined their antiinflammatory activities on stimulated mammalian macrophages. Stimulated macrophages produce proinflammatory cytokines TNF and …

Stratifying Ischaemic Stroke Patients Across 3 Treatment Windows Using T2 Relaxation Times, Ordinal Regression And Cumulative Probabilities, Bryony Mcgarry, Elizabeth Hunter, Robin Damian, Michael Knight, Philip Clatworthy, George Harston, Keith Muir, Risto Kauppinen, John Kelleher

Conference papers

Unknown onset time is a common contraindication for anti-thrombolytic treatment of ischaemic stroke. T2 relaxation-based signal changes within the lesion can identify patients within or beyond the 4.5-hour intravenous thrombolysis treatment-window. However, now that intra-arterial thrombolysis is recommended between 4.5 and 6 hours from symptom onset and mechanical thrombectomy is considered safe between 6 and 24 hours, there are three treatment-windows to consider. Here we show a cumulative ordinal regression model, incorporating the T2 relaxation time, predicts the probabilities of a patient being within one of the three treatment-windows and is more accurate than signal intensity changes from T2 weighted …


Zero-Shot Action Recognition With Knowledge Enhanced Generative Adversarial Networks, Kaiqiang Huang, Luis Miralles-Pechuán, Susan Mckeever Jan 2021

Zero-Shot Action Recognition With Knowledge Enhanced Generative Adversarial Networks, Kaiqiang Huang, Luis Miralles-Pechuán, Susan Mckeever

Conference papers

Zero-Shot Action Recognition (ZSAR) aims to recognise action classes in videos that have never been seen during model training. In some approaches, ZSAR has been achieved by generating visual features for unseen classes based on the semantic information of the unseen class labels using generative adversarial networks (GANs). Therefore, the problem is converted to standard supervised learning since the unseen visual features are accessible. This approach alleviates the lack of labelled samples of unseen classes. In addition, objects appearing in the action instances could be used to create enriched semantics of action classes and therefore, increase the accuracy of ZSAR. …

Just-In-Time Biomass Yield Estimation With Multi-Modal Data And Variable Patch Training Size, Patricia O'Byrne, Patrick Jackman Dr., Damon Dr. Berry Dr., Thomas Lee, Michael French, Robert J. Ross

Conference papers

The just-in-time estimation of farmland traits such as biomass yield can aid considerably in the optimisation of agricultural processes. Data in domains such as precision farming is however notoriously expensive to collect and deep learning driven modelling approaches need to maximise performance but also acknowledge this reality. In this paper we present a study in which a platform was deployed to collect data from a heterogeneous collection of sensor types including visual, NIR, and LiDAR sources to estimate key pastureland traits. In addition to introducing the study itself we address two key research questions. The first of these was the …


Interactive Learning Approach For Arabic Target-Based Sentiment Analysis, Husamelddin Balla, Marisa Llorens, Sarah Jane Delany Jan 2021

Interactive Learning Approach For Arabic Target-Based Sentiment Analysis, Husamelddin Balla, Marisa Llorens, Sarah Jane Delany

Conference papers

Recently, the majority of sentiment analysis researchers focus on target-based sentiment analysis because it delivers in-depth analysis with more accurate results as compared to traditional sentiment analysis. In this paper, we propose an interactive learning approach to tackle a target-based sentiment analysis task for the Arabic language. The proposed IALSTM model uses an interactive attentionbased mechanism to force the model to focus on different parts (targets) of a sentence. We investigate the ability to use targets, right and left contexts, and model them separately to learn their own representations via interactive modeling. We evaluated our model on two different datasets: …
