An Indirect Model For Sintering Thermodynamics, Yüksel Sarikaya, Müşerref Önal

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A model was proposed and used to calculated the changes in enthalpy $(\Delta H^{o})$, entropy $(\Delta S^{o}),$ and Gibbs energy $(\Delta G^{o})$, as well as equilibrium constant $(K)$ relating to the sintering of alumina compacts. Specific nanopore volume $(V)$ of the compacts was assumed as a thermodynamic variable. A hypothetical equilibrium constant $(K_{h})$ and corresponding Gibbs energy $(\Delta G_{h}^{o})$ were calculated depending on the $V$ value measured after each sintering. The thermodynamic relationships with the SI units were respectively evaluated for the initial-stage $(i)$ sintering between 1000 and 1200 $^{\circ}$C and final-stage $(f)$ sintering between 1200 and 1600 $^{\circ}$C in …

Chromium Redox Speciation In Food Samples, Krystyna Pyrzynska Jan 2016

Chromium Redox Speciation In Food Samples, Krystyna Pyrzynska

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Chromium is an element with important biological characteristics, depending on its different species. Cr(III) is considered as essential; however, the Cr(VI) form is classified as carcinogenic.~For this reason, speciation analysis in food samples is a very important question. The proposed data procedures for chromium redox speciation in the literature can be divided into those with the use of online hyphenated techniques and those where appropriate sample pretreatment is necessary. The strategies for nonchromatographic speciation are mainly based on selective liquid--liquid extraction procedures, coprecipitation, selective separation of chromium species using a solid phase extraction column, or complexation reactions. In this paper, …

Structure And Stability Of Primordial Stars, Aysel İbrahi̇m Karafi̇stan Jan 2016

Structure And Stability Of Primordial Stars, Aysel İbrahi̇m Karafi̇stan

Turkish Journal of Physics

For decades large-scale cosmic structures have been modeled as the gravitational amplification of small-density perturbations of the cosmological recombination epoch of the Big Bang. In astrophysics, cosmological nucleosynthesis is considered responsible for the production of the pristine gas, which should be found in the first-generation stars in the form of hydrogen and helium as the main constituents. In the later type of second-generation stars, hydrogen is converted into helium by the CN-cycle reactions, in which heavier elements are produced. These elements are believed to enrich the intergalactic medium by possible star bursts at the last stages of evolution. Stability criteria …

Late Quaternary Paleoceanographic Evolution Of The Aegean Sea: Planktonic Foraminifera And Stable Isotopes, Ekrem Bursi̇n İşler, Ali̇ Engi̇n Aksu, Richard Nicholas Hiscott

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Aspects of the paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic evolution of the Aegean Sea since ~130 ka are revealed by quantitative variations in planktonic faunal assemblages, the Δ18O and Δ13C isotopic composition of benthic and planktonic foraminifera, and Mg/Ca ratios in planktonic foraminifera extracted from five 6-10-m-long piston cores. Independent sea surface temperature (SST) estimates obtained using planktonic foraminiferal transfer functions and the Mg/Ca ratios show excellent agreement, with r2 correlation coefficients of 0.92-0.95. Planktonic foraminiferal assemblages are similar, through time, across several deep basins, suggesting that major changes must have occurred in near synchroneity across the Aegean Sea. The data suggest that …
