Distribution And Origin Of Clay Minerals In Konya Neogene Sedimentary Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey, Selahatti̇n Kadi̇r, Zehra Karakaş

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Neogene sediments having both fluvial and lacustrine characteristics are widespread in the Konya region of central Anatolia. The fluvial units are typically green in colour and thick at the margin of the basin and thinning laterally basinwards. The lacustrine sediments are represented by white, beige and cream, pure, dolomitic, sandy and clayey limestone alternating with claystone. Grain size, components and matrix of the fluvial and lacustrine sediments decrease from the margin of the basin toward its center. Smectite and chlorite in detrital fluvial sediments are associated with amphibole, illite and quartz, while sepiolite and palygorskite formed diagenetically in the carbonate …

Asymptotic Analysis Of Singularly Perturbed Abstract Evolution Equations In Banach And Hilbert Spaces, Dialla Konate Jan 2002

Asymptotic Analysis Of Singularly Perturbed Abstract Evolution Equations In Banach And Hilbert Spaces, Dialla Konate

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In the current paper, we are concerned with the study of abstract linear evolution equations in Banach spaces in which the time derivative term is multiplied by a small parameter, say \epsilon. Such equations arise in the study of radiative transfer and neutron transport in Nuclear Physics. Following works by Krein (cf [9]) and others, Mika (cf [12,13,14,15]) using either the Hilbert method or the Compressed method has shown that the solution of the given singularly perturbed equation may be approximated upto any prescibed order by a sum of two asymptotic expansions that are the outer expansion that is valid …


The Fine Spectra Of The Rhaly Operators On C_{0}, Mustafa Yildirim Jan 2002

The Fine Spectra Of The Rhaly Operators On C_{0}, Mustafa Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In 1975, Wenger [3] determined the fine spectra of Cesàro operator C_{1} on c, the space of convergent sequences. In [6], the spectrum of the Rhaly operators on c_{0} and c, under the assumption that {\displaystyle\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(n+1)a_{n} }=L\neq 0, has been determined. This paper presents the fine spectra of the Rhaly matrix R_{a} as an operator on the space c_{0}, with the same assumption.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this study, the electrochemical behaviour of 4' -halogene-N,N-dimethyl-4-aminoazobenzene derivatives were investigated using various polarographic and voltammetric methods. The peak potentials of these derivatives were observed to shift towards negative values with increase in pH. The standard rate constants were determined with (Laviron technique) or without (Nicholson and Klingler-Kochi techniques) taking the adsorption phenomena into account. The diffusion coefficients were calculated from the cyclic voltammetric data using the method developed by Garrido. The amount of adsorbed substances (surface excess values) and transfer coefficients for the electron transfer were also determined.

Development Of A Cylindrical Waveguide Antenna Array With A High Isolation Between Receive - Transmit Sub Arrays: Theory And Experiment, Vladimir I. Okhmatovsky, Konstantina S. Nikita, Stavros Koulouridis, Nikolaos K. Uzunoglu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The possibility of developing an antenna system consisting of transmit and receive arrays and being able to work simultaneously in full duplex mode at the same frequency is a very attractive task. This could only be achieved if the isolation between the transmit and receive arrays is sufficiently high not to cause a parasitic oscillation which will ruin the proper operation of a transponder system to which the arrays will be connected. Specifically, in this paper the operation of two peripheral open waveguide arrays placed on a cylindrical surface and being isolated with a radial line operating as a space …


A Time Domain Uniform Geometrical Theory Of Slope Diffraction For A Curved Wedge, Prabhakar H. Pathak, Paul R. Rousseau Jan 2002

A Time Domain Uniform Geometrical Theory Of Slope Diffraction For A Curved Wedge, Prabhakar H. Pathak, Paul R. Rousseau

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A time domain version of the uniform geometrical theory of diffraction (TD-UTD) is developed to describe, in essentially closed form, the field which is produced via slope diffraction at a perfectly conducting, arbitrarily curved wedge excited by a time impulsive wave that exhibits a rapid spatial variation near the edge of the wedge. This TD-UTD slope diffracted field for a curved wedge is obtained by a Fourier inversion of the corresponding frequency domain UTD expression. An analytical signal representation of the transient fields is used since it is convenient, and because it circumvents some of the difficulties, which especially arise …

The approach is validated using one-dimensional examples having analytic solutions. Finally, the results obtained for the Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of a practical equipment enclosure are presented to demonstrate the utility of the method in Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) prediction.


An Efficient Preconditioner For Iterative Solvers, V. V. S. Prakash, Raj Mittra Jan 2002

An Efficient Preconditioner For Iterative Solvers, V. V. S. Prakash, Raj Mittra

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The method of moments solution of the Maxwell's equations leads to a dense system of complex equations. Direct solution of these equations using LU factorization becomes unwieldy as the size of the scatterer increase in terms of wavelength. Iterative solvers, such as those based on Krylov projection methods, offer an alternative approach for solving large system of equations. Most often, the iterative methods are used in combination with some kind of preconditioning to improve the condition number of the system matrix A in order to acheive accelerated convergence [1-2]. This paper discusses the application of Multi-Frontal Preconditioners (MFPs) for the …

Automated Recognition Of Ergogenic Aids Using Soft Independent Modeling Of Class Analogy (Simca), M. Praisler, J. Van Bocxlaer, A. De Leenheer, D. L. Massart

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The introduction of effective drug testing procedures in doping control reduced, but did not eliminate, their abuse by athletes. The most important analytical challenge is the recognition of the new analog compounds. In attempts to circumvent existing controlled substance laws, slightly modified chemical structures (by adding or changing substituents at various positions on the banned molecules) are used. As a result, no substance belonging to a prohibited class may be used nowadays, even if it has not been specifically listed. We present a chemometric procedure acting as an automated GC-FTIR screening test detecting the molecular structural similarity of unknown compounds …
