Epr Spectroscopy Of Dog-Rose Polyphenoloxidase, Çiğdem Nuhoğlu, Fatih Ucun, Enise Ayyildiz, Y. Kemal Yoğurtçu, Halis Şaki̇roğlu, İrfan Küfrevi̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Polyphenoloxidase(PPO) of dog-rose fruit was extracted and purified through (NH\4)\2SO\4 precipitation and dialysis. The optimum conditions for this purpose, i.e., pH and temperature, were determined with 4-methylcatechol optimum pH and temperature and found to be pH 8.5 and 20\ci, respectively. The inhibition effect of ascorbic acid was investigated and the I_{50} value was found to be 1.57\times10^{-4} M. The activity of dog-rose PPO was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) at different pH levels and temperatures. The optimum conditions obtained from both spectrophotometry and EPR were compared.

Thermodynamics Of Dissociation Of Strontium, Barium And Nickel Caproates In Water, Hüseyin Topallar, Yüksel Bayrak, Mehmet İşcan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The critical micellar concentration (CMC) and thermodynamic parameters (heat \DeltaH_d, free energy \DeltaG_d, and entropy \DeltaS_d, of dissociation) of aqueous solutions of strontium, barium and nickel caproates were determined by conductivity measurements. A Kraus and Bray-type expression was used to evaluate molecular conductance at infinite dilution and theromdynamic parameters. The results confirm that CMC remains unaffected by temperature in the range of 25-55^{\circ}C, and show that the dissociation of soaps is an exothermic reaction and nonspontaneous.


Some Oxidation Reactions Of Isomeric Pyridinecarboxylic Acid Hydrazides, Rashid Iqbal, Samia Ebrahim, Muhammad Ziaulhaq Jan 1997

Some Oxidation Reactions Of Isomeric Pyridinecarboxylic Acid Hydrazides, Rashid Iqbal, Samia Ebrahim, Muhammad Ziaulhaq

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The oxidation reactions of the three isomeric pyridinecarboxylic acid hydrazides were studied using sodium metaperidoate, silver(I) oxide and potassium ferricyanide separately. Potassium ferricyanide emerged as an excellent reagent for preparation of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and 3-pyridinecarboxaldehyde from the respective isomeric pyridinecarboxylic acid hydrazides. Oxidation with silver(I) oxide in each case yielded the corresponding 1,2-dipyridoylhydrazine, while sodium metaperiodate furnished different products with each isomeric pyridinecarboxylic acid hyrazide.


Effect Of Various Additives On The Hydration Of Perlite-Gypsum Plaster And Perlite-Portland Cement Pastes, Emin Erdem Jan 1997

Effect Of Various Additives On The Hydration Of Perlite-Gypsum Plaster And Perlite-Portland Cement Pastes, Emin Erdem

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Perlite is a volcanic glass which forms a light-weight cellular aggregate when ground and heated to about 1000\ci. It is used in the production of light-weight masonry blocks and concrete in the building industry as well as in insulation, fire protection, agriculture and pharmacology. In this study, the effects of admixtures such as lime, sodium citrate and various superplasticizers on the hydration of perlite-gypsum plaster, perlite-white Portland cement and perlite-blended Portland cement mixtures were investigated by measurement of flexural and compressive strengths and by DTA-TG. It was found that the addition of lime caused pozzolanic reactions and, consequently, increased strength …

Complex Conjugation Equivariant Topology Of Complex Surfaces, Sergey Finashin Jan 1997

Complex Conjugation Equivariant Topology Of Complex Surfaces, Sergey Finashin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Suppose X is a non-singular complex surface defined over \R, which is a complete intersection constructed by the method of a small perturbation, and Y=X/\conj is its quotient by the complex conjugation \conj\: X\to X. Assume that \conj has a fixed point. Then Y is completely decomposable, i.e., splits into a connected sum \#_n \Cp^2\#_m\barCP^2 or \#_n(S^2\!\times\! S^2).


A (--86)-Sphere In The K3 Surface, Sergey Finashin, Grigory Mikhalkin Jan 1997

A (--86)-Sphere In The K3 Surface, Sergey Finashin, Grigory Mikhalkin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Consider the self-intersection number [\Sigma].[\Sigma] of a 2-dimensional sphere \Sigma embedded into a K3 surface. Since a K3 surface is spin, [\Sigma].[\Sigma] is even and by Gauge theoretical arguments [\Sigma].[\Sigma]\le 0. No other restriction on [\Sigma].[\Sigma] is known. It is a problem 4.105(D) from the Kirby list \cite{K} to determine the possible values of [\Sigma].[\Sigma]. This paper shows that the even numbers between 0 and -86 do appear as [\Sigma].[\Sigma].

The Rank And The Crank Modulo 5, A. Bülent Eki̇n

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let p(n) denote the number of partitions of n . Ramanujan's partition congruences are p(5n + 4) , p(7n + 5) and p(11n + 6) = mod 5, 7, and 11, respectively. These have been proved in number of ways. Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer proved the congruences and some more relations about partition İn the case of mod5 and 7 in terms of rank, Garvan proved them in three cases in terms of crank. In this study, we give an another proof of their results in the case of mod5 by using the theory of modular forms. Although our method is …

Differentiable Functions And The Generators On A Hilbert-Lie Group, Erdal Coşkun Jan 1997

Differentiable Functions And The Generators On A Hilbert-Lie Group, Erdal Coşkun

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A convolution semigroup plays an important role İn the theory of probability measure on Lie groups. The basic problem is that one wants to express a semigroup as a Lévy-Khinckine formula. If (\mu_t)_{t\epsilonR*_+} is a continuous semigroup of probability + measures on a Hilbert-Lie group G, then we define T{\mu_t}f:=\integral f_a\mu_t(da) (f\epsilonC_u(G),t>0 It is apparent that (\mu_t)_t{t\epsilonR*_+} is a contİnuous operator semigroup on the space + C_u ( G) with the İnfinitesimal generator N. The generatİng functional A of this semigroup is defined by Aƒ := Iim_t-->0 1/t(T_{\mu_t}f(e) - f(e). We have the problem of consliuction of a …
