Optical Fluoride Sensing With A Bay Region Functionalized Perylenediimide Dye, Funda Yukruk Jan 2006

Optical Fluoride Sensing With A Bay Region Functionalized Perylenediimide Dye, Funda Yukruk

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A perylenedimiide (PDI) derivative functionalized at the perylene core (bay region) to carry phenyl boronic acid groups was shown to interact with fluoride with changes in the emission and absorption spectrum. These changes are most likely due to fluoride-induced aggregation and/or quenching of the perylenediimide dye. The dye is also selective; among halide ions, fluoride anions generate a significant response. Thus, this class of PDI derivatives is likely to be useful in practical fluoride sensing.

The Impact Of Polyacrylamide Molecular Weight On Its Adsorption Behavior At The Gold/Acidic Solution Interface, Dragica B. Chamovska, Toma P. Grchev, Maja V. Cvetkovska

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Adsorption isotherms for polyacrylamide (PAA) on polycrystalline gold, from sulfuric acid (potential range 0-2.0 V/she; 293 K), were obtained by means of cyclic voltammetry with simultaneous monitoring of the double-layer capacity. The Frumkin isotherm indicates that relatively strong attractive forces are present (a = 0.8-1.0), and the Gibbs energies range between 43 and 56 kJ mol^{-1}. The coverage (\theta) of the metal surface with polymer molecules depends on the molar concentration of PAA, as well as on its molecular weight, and the size of the statistical polymer coil in the solution (R_G = 7.49 \times 10^{-3} \times M_n^{0.64}/nm). The adsorption …

Open-Ocean Carbon Monoxide Photoproduction, Aron Stubbins, Günther Uher, Cliff S. Law, Kenneth Mopper, Carol Robinson, Robert C. Upstill-Goddard

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Publications

Sunlight-initiated photolysis of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) is the dominant source of carbon monoxide (CO) in the open-ocean. A modelling study was conducted to constrain this source. Spectral solar irradiance was obtained from two models (GCSOLAR and SMARTS2). Water-column CDOM and total light absorption were modelled using spectra collected along a Meridional transect of the Atlantic ocean using a 200-cm pathlength liquid waveguide UV-visible spectrophotometer. Apparent quantum yields for the production of CO (AQYCO) from CDOM were obtained from a parameterisation describing the relationship between CDOM light absorption coefficient and AQYCO and the CDOM spectra collected. …

A Class Of Nonlinear Stochastic Volatility Models, Jun Yu, Zhenlin Yang Jan 2006

A Class Of Nonlinear Stochastic Volatility Models, Jun Yu, Zhenlin Yang

Research Collection School Of Economics

This paper proposes a class of nonlinear stochastic volatility models based on the Box-Cox transformation which offers an alternative to the one introduced in Andersen (1994). The proposed class encompasses many parametric stochastic volatility models that have appeared in the literature, including the well known lognormal stochastic volatility model, and has an advantage in the ease with which different specifications on stochastic volatility can be tested. In addition, the functional form of transformation which induces marginal normality of volatility is obtained as a byproduct of this general way of modeling stochastic volatility. The efficient method of moments approach is used …

Study Of Rna Secondary Structure Prediction Algorithms, Lisa Yu Jan 2006

Study Of Rna Secondary Structure Prediction Algorithms, Lisa Yu

Master's Projects

Dynamic programming algorithms such as Nussinov algorithm and Zuker algorithm define criteria to search the most stable RNA secondary structures. Stochastic Context-Free Grammar (SCFG) predicts the most possible RNA secondary structure using context-free grammar and a defined set of probabilities for each grammar rule. These algorithms form the base of using computer programs to predict RNA secondary structures without pseudoknots. In this report, we review these RNA secondary structure prediction algorithms and present our own software implementations of these algorithms. The Nussinov algorithm is easy to understand. But our results show that the Nussinov algorithm is overly simplified and can …

The Hydra Filesystem: A Distrbuted Storage Famework, Benjamin Gonzalez, George K. Thiruvathukal

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Hydra File System (HFS) is an experimental framework for constructing parallel and distributed filesystems. While parallel and distributed applications requiring scalable and flexible access to storage and retrieval are becoming more commonplace, parallel and distributed filesystems remain difficult to deploy easily and configure for different needs. HFS aims to be different by being true to the tradition of high-performance computing while employing modern design patterns to allow various policies to be configured on a per instance basis (e.g. storage, communication, security, and indexing schemes). We describe a working prototype (available for public download) that has been implemented in the Python …

Tkachenko Modes Of The Square Vortex Lattice In A Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensate, M. Keçeli̇, M. Ö. Oktel Jan 2006

Tkachenko Modes Of The Square Vortex Lattice In A Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensate, M. Keçeli̇, M. Ö. Oktel

Turkish Journal of Physics

We study Tkachenko modes of the square vortex lattice of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in the mean-field quantum Hall regime, considering the coupling of these modes with density excitations. We derive the hydrodynamic equations and obtain the dispersion relations of the excitation modes. We find that there are two types of excitations, gapped inertial modes and gapless Tkachenko modes. These modes have two branches which we call acoustic and optical modes in analogy with phonons. The former has quadratic while the latter has linear wave-number dependence in both inertial and Tkachenko modes. Acoustic Tkachenko mode is found to be …

Dwba Of The Reaction ^0be(P, \Alpha )^6li At E_P = 18.6\Sim 50 Mev, S. E. Abdel-Kariem Jan 2006

Dwba Of The Reaction ^0be(P, \Alpha )^6li At E_P = 18.6\Sim 50 Mev, S. E. Abdel-Kariem

Turkish Journal of Physics

The compound nucleus produced in the reaction ^9Be(p, \alpha)^6Li in the incident energy range E_p = 18.6 \sim 50 MeV is mainly occurred when its excitation energy is greater than the \alpha -particle threshold separation energy by about 20 MeV, strongly suggesting the reaction mechanism is a direct one-step process. To understand this phenomenon, we employ semi-microscopic zero-range distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA) theory to analyse experimental data obtained in this energy range for the lower three ^6Li-states: ground state (1^+; 0); 2.186 MeV (3^+; 0); and 3.563 MeV (0^+; 1). The Kurath-Millener spectroscopic-factor amplitudes for the triton-cluster transfer are used …

Applications Of Genetic Algorithm To Quantum Mechanical Systems, Mehmet Şahi̇n, Ülfet Atav, Mehmet Tomak Jan 2006

Applications Of Genetic Algorithm To Quantum Mechanical Systems, Mehmet Şahi̇n, Ülfet Atav, Mehmet Tomak

Turkish Journal of Physics

Genetic algorithm (GA) inspired by the biological world is a general search and optimization method. It was first proposed by Holland in 1975. GA has been applied to many scientific areas especially in engineering optimization problems. It is also used in solving of quantum mechanical problems. In this study, we have applied this method to different realistic quantum mechanical problems of both self-consistent and non-self-consistent type. The results obtained are compared with the results of other methods and it is seen that the GA can be a very powerful alternative to some other traditional techniques such as variational method.
