Yayın Akdağ Kütlesi’nde (Batı Toroslar) Pleistosen buzullaşmalarının jeomorfolojik özellikleri ve optik uyarmalı lüminesans (OSL) ile yaşlandırılması(Türk Coğrafya Kurumu, 2017) Bayrakdar, Cihan; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Turoğlu, Hüseyin; Öztürk, Tuğba; Canel, TimurBatı Torosların en yüksek ikinci zirvesine (Uyluk T. 3014 m) sahip olan Akdağ, batıda Eşen Ovası (60 m) doğuda Elmalı Ovası (1100 m) arasında yer alan ve 2700 m üzerinde birçok zirve barındıran, çevresine göre oldukça yüksek bir kütle görünümündedir. Akdağ Kütlesi'nde Kuvaterner'de meydana gelen buzul şekillerini incelemek ve OSL ile tarihlendirmek çalışmanın temel amacıdır. Bu çalışmada coğrafi bilgi sistemleri ve morfometrik analizler, OSL tarihlendirme yöntemi ve sedimantolojik analizlerden faydalanılmıştır. Akdağ Kütlesi'nin jeomorfolojik gelişiminde birden fazla etken ve sürecin rolü olmuştur. Bu süreçlerin başında karst, buzul, tektonik ve flüviyal gelmektedir. Akdağ Kütlesi'nde etkili olan Pleistosen buzullaşmaları, büyük ölçüde karstik yapıya uyumlu gelişmiş ve 2500 m ve üzerindeki paleo-karstik depresyonlarda kalın plato buzulları oluşmuştur. Akdağ Kütlesi'nde üçü büyük, beş buzul vadisi tespit edilmiştir. Bu buzul vadileri gelişmiş sirklerle başlayıp 2500 m seviyelerinde paleokarstik depresyonlara uyumlu olarak düşük eğimli, geniştabanlı ve büyük ölçüde taban ve yanal morenleri ile kaplı iken 2500 m seviyelerinden sonra vadiler daralıp klasik tekne vadi formu alıp 2000 m seviyelerinde cephe morenleri ile sonlanırlar. Akdağ Kütlesi'nde morenlerden alınan örneklere ait OSL tarihlendirmelerinde 17-21 bin yaşları çıkmıştır ki bu da son buzul dönemi MIS 2 ye denk gelmektedir.Yayın Vapor-induced film formation from low-T-g particles for different solvent compositions(Elsevier Inc, 2006-05-15) Arda, Ertan; Kara, Selim; Saraç, Ayfer; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderThe photon transmission method was used to study latex film formation from poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) particles induced by two different solvents. Films with the same latex content were prepared from PVAc particles and exposed to vapor of ethanol-water and acetone-water mixtures in various compositions. Transmitted photon intensities, I-tr, from these films increased with increasing vapor exposure time. The increase in I-tr is attributed to the increase in crossing density at the polymer-polymer junction. The Prager-Tirrell model was employed to obtain the back-and-forth frequency, v, of the reptating polymer chain during film formation induced by solvent vapor. It was observed that the produced v values increase as the solvent content is increased for both solvents. Abilities of both solvents to form films were interpreted with the solubility parameters of the solvents and the PVAc.Yayın Thermal quenching of thermoluminescence in quartz samples of various origins(Univ Agean, Dept Mediterranean Stud, 2010) Subedi, Bhagawan; Afouxenidis, Dimitrios; Polymeris, George S.; Bakoglidis, Konstantinos D.; Raptis, Spyridoula; Tsirliganis, Nestor C.; Kitis, GeorgeThe effect of thermal quenching plays an important role in the thermoluminescence (TL) of quartz on which many applications of TL are based. In present work it is investigated that the thermal quenching parameters i.e. the activation energy W and the dimensionless parameter C, are more or less the same for every kind of quartzes or sample dependent on strong external treatment like a high temperature annealing. This preliminary investigation of seven quartz samples of different origin showed that the thermal quenching parameters W and C are common (universal) for most of the quartz samples.Yayın Synthesis and liquid crystalline behavior of random copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) macromonomer and liquid crystalline monomer by the photon transmission technique(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2005-12) Yıldız, Sevtap; Yılmaz, Faruk; Özbek, Haluk; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Ito, Koichi; Yağcı, YusufRandom copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) macromonomer with p-vinylbenzyl end-functional group (PEOVB) and liquid crystalline monomer, namely 6-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4'-oxy)hexyl acrylate (COA), were prepared by conventional free radical polymerization. A living anionic polymerization technique was employed for the synthesis of PEO macromonomers bearing p-vinylbenzyl moiety at one end. The photon transmission method was also applied to study the phase transitions of COA monomer and its random copolymer with PEO. It was found that, for both samples, the nematic-smectic A transition is continuous, but the critical fluctuation regions do not allow to obtain 3D XY values. Instead, we have obtained the values close to mean field regime. Scaling of thermal hystersis for random copolymer sample near the nematic-isotropic transition was studied as well. Thermal hysteresis loops were produced under linearly varying temperature. It was shown that the areas of the hysteresis loops scale with the temperature scanning rate with an exponent being equal to 0.614 which is in good agreement with the field-theoretical value.Yayın Reversible film formation from PS doped PNIPAM particles in various compositions(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2008-02) Uğur, Şaziye; Yargı, Önder; Pekcan, Mehmet ÖnderFilm formation from polystyrene (PS) doped poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) particles was studied using photon transmission technique. The transmitted light intensity, Itr, was monitored during film formation process. Films were prepared by mixing PS and PNIPAM particles in various compositions ranging from 5 to 50 %. Samples were separately heated and cooled in constant rate at temperatures ranging from 10 to 100 C. The increase and decrease in Itr during heating-cooling cycles were explained by void closure and void reconstruction processes. The corresponding activation energies were measured during the reversible film formation process. Percolation model was used to interpret the distribution of PS particles in PNIPAM lattice.Yayın Dissipative dynamics and the statistics of energy states of a Hookean model for protein folding(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 2000-07) Tüzel, Erkan; Erzan, AyşeA generic model of a random polypeptide chain, with discrete torsional degrees of freedom and Hookean spring connecting pails or hydrophobic residues, reproduces the energy probability distribution of real proteins over a very large range of energies. We show that this system with harmonic interactions, under dissipative dynamics driven by random noise, leads to a distribution of energy states obeying a modified one-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and giving rise Lo the so-called Wigner distribution. A tunably fine- or coarse-grained sampling of the energy landscape yields a family of distributions for the energies and energy spacings.Yayın Spectral renormalization group for the Gaussian model and 𝜓4 theory on nonspatial networks(American Physical Society, 2015-08-06) Tuncer, Aslı; Erzan, AyşeWe implement the spectral renormalization group on different deterministic nonspatial networks without translational invariance. We calculate the thermodynamic critical exponents for the Gaussian model on the Cayley tree and the diamond lattice and find that they are functions of the spectral dimension, (d) over tilde. The results are shown to be consistent with those from exact summation and finite-size scaling approaches. At (d) over tilde = 2, the lower critical dimension for the Ising universality class, the Gaussian fixed point is stable with respect to a psi(4) perturbation up to second order. However, on generalized diamond lattices, non-Gaussian fixed points arise for 2 < <(d)over tilde> < 4.Yayın A new late holocene eolianite record from Altinkum Beach, North Cyprus(Scientific technical research council Turkey-Tubitak, 2012-06) Erginal, Ahmet Evren; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Ertek, Topçu AhmetIn this study, we investigated the main depositional characteristics and obtained Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) ages of coastal eolianite on the north coast of Cyprus, where this occurrence had not previously been recorded. Based on EDX/SEM and XRD data and field observations, the studied eolianite that crops out between elevations of 1 m and 14 m a.s.l. is made up predominantly of quartz grains, most of which consist of medium- to fine-grained sand. The rock comprises aragonite, calcite and quartz with lesser amounts of bornite and hematite as accessory minerals. OSL ages indicated that the initial deposition of eolianite sands took place at 1.51 +/- 0.21 ka years ago.Yayın Preliminary TL and OSL investigations of obsidian samples(Univ Agean, Dept Mediterranean Stud, 2010) Polymeris, George S.; Gogou, D.; Afouxenidis, Dimitrios; Rapti, Sofia; Tsirliganis, Nestor C.; Kitis, GeorgeObsidian is a volcaniclastic mineral extremely hard to break, which was used in prehistoric Greece (and elsewhere in the World), in order to provide tools, weapons, knives and arrowheads. The present work aims to characterize this extremely precious tool stone by using both thermoluminescence (TL) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) techniques and investigate its potential use for luminescence dating purposes. Basic TL and OSL properties, such as TL and OSL thermal and optical stability, repeatability, TL and LM-OSL glow curve shape and mainly the linearity of the TL and OSL signals as a function of beta dose were investigated. Artificially irradiated samples indicate all promising luminescence features, such as the 110 degrees C TL peak and dose response sub-linearity for intermediate doses, quick and effective bleaching all over the entire TL glow curve, along with quite linear CW-OSL dose response for doses larger than 5 Gy. The lack of predose sensitisation indicates the suitability of the material for single aliquot measurements. Furthermore, several features provide indications that the signal does not relate to quartz, but in fact to other silicates. Unfortunately, both lack of bleaching ability for NIL signal, along with a peculiar shape of NOSL, provide major difficulties in dating applications.Yayın Strategies for the evolution of sex(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2001-12) Tüzel, Erkan; Sevim, Volkan; Erzan, AyşeThe maintenance of a macroscopic sexual population is addressed. As a scenario, the mechanism of random conversion to sex, in the presence of a constant rate of mutation is examined. This scenario is very closely related to "coevolution of cell senescence and diploid sexual reproduction in unicellular organisms." In this work, a "senescence clock" ticks off a finite lifetime for each bit string. Sexual reproduction resets the senescence of clock; unless this happens after a number of generations of cloning, the offspring stop dividing and die.
