Abstract: The LB 1000-PW detector is mainly used for determining total alpha, beta and gamma activity of low activity natural sources such as water, soil, air filters and any other environmental sources. Detector efficiency needs to be known in order to measure the absolute activity of such samples. This paper presents results on the total gamma counting efficiency of a Phoswich detector from point and disk sources. The directions of photons emitted from the source were determined by Monte Carlo techniques and the true path lengths in the detector were determined by analytical equations depending on photon directions. Results are tabulated for various gamma energies. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine if high concentrations of any heavy metals exist in the sediment of Seyhan Dam reservoir to be considered toxic to the aquatic environment. Surface sediment samples from five stations in the Seyhan dam were collected quarterly from 2004 to 2005 and examined for metal content (Cr, Zn Cu, Mn, Cd, Fe, Ca, K, and Na), organic matter, and grain size. Correlation analyses showed that metal content of Seyhan dam sediment was affected by organic matter and grain size. The results have been compared with values given in the literature. The evaluation of the metal pollution status of the dam was carried out by using the enrichment factor and the geoaccumulation index. A comparison with sediment quality guideline values has also been made. Based on the enrichment factor, dam sediments were treated as a moderately severe enrichment with Cd and minor enrichment with Cr and Mn. The results of geoaccumulation index reveal that sediments of Seyhan Dam were strongly polluted in stations 1, 2, 4, and 5, and were moderately polluted in station 3 with Cd. Moreover, Cd and Cr concentrations in the sediments were above TECs except ERL for Cd.

Abstract: Crown structure and fuel loading are important fuel characteristics affecting crown fire occurrence and behavior. This paper reports on the crown fuel characteristics and regression models to determine crown fuel load of young Calabrian pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) trees. Crown bulk density (CBD), crown base height (CBH) and basal area (BA) were 0.212 kg m(-3), 4.5 m and 24.18 m ha respectively. Average crown fuel load (CFL) was 1.51 kg m(-2). The proportion of needle and available fuel (needle+fine branches) were 19.1 and 48.2 percent, respectively. Also, regression equations were developed for predicting needle, branch and total biomass of Calabrian pine trees. Equations were based on the data from 35 destructively sampled Calabrian pine trees. The relationships between needle and branch biomass and tree properties were determined by linear regression, considering tree properties as the independent and needle, branch and total biomass as the dependent variables. Diameter at breast height (DBH), crown length (CL) and crown width (CW) were the most significant independent variables for crown fuel biomass. The resulting equations were able to account for 58-80% of the observed variation in total biomass. The results of this study will not only contribute to the prediction of fire behavior, but it will surely be of invaluable use in other forestry disciplines.

Title: Biosurfactant production in sugar beet molasses by some Pseudomonas spp.

Source: JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL BIOLOGY, 30 (1): 161-163 Sp. Iss. SI JAN 2009

Language: English

Document Type: Editorial Material

Author Keywords: Pseudomonas spp.; Rhamnolipid; Sugar beet molasses

Abstract: In this study, rhamnolipid biosurfactant production was investigated in eighteen strains of Pseudomonas spp.. Rhamnolipid by these strains was determined by a spectrophotometric method in nutrient broth medium (NB). From the 18 strains screened, two Pseudomonas strains (Pseudomonas luteola B17 and Pseudomonas putida B12) which had produced the highest percentage yield of rhamnolipid were examined for rhamnolipid production at different incubation times (24, 48 and 72 hr) and different sugar beet molasses concentrations [1-5% w/v concentration (1-5 g molasses/100 ml water)]. The rhamnolipid production increased with the increase in the concentration of molasses and maximum production occurred when 5% (w/v) of molasses were used. At the same time, maximum rhamnolipid production occurred after 72 hr of incubation. When the amount of rhamnolipid produced at different incubation times (24, 48 and 72 hr) and with different concentrations of molasses [1-5 % w/v concentration (1-5g molasses/100 ml water)]by Pseudomonas spp.; was compared, no significant difference in amount of production was seen. These studies show that the waste product from sugar industry may be suggested for important biotechnological processes such as rhamnolipid production.

Abstract: Up to now an increasing number of antibiotic-resistant bacteria have been reported and thus new natural therapeutic agents are needed in order to eradicate these pathogens. Through the discovery of plants such as Crataegus tanacetifolia (Lam.) Pets that have antimicrobial activity, it will be possible to discover new natural drugs serving as chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of nosocomial pathogens and take these antibiotic-resistant bacteria under control. The objective of the present study was to determine antimicrobial activity and the activity mechanism of C. tanacetifolia plant extract. The leaves of C. tanacetifolia, which is an endemic plant, were extracted using methanol and tested against 10 bacterial and 4 yeast strains by using a drop method. It was observed that the plant extract had antibacterial effects on Bacillus subtilis, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, and Listeria monocytogenes among the microorganisms that were tested. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) results obtained at the end of an incubation of 24 h were found to be >= 6.16 mg ml(-1) for B. subtilis, <394 mg ml(-1) for Shigella, and >= 3.08 mg ml(-1) for L. monocytogenes and S. aureus and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were found as >= 24.63 mg ml(-1) for B. subtilis, >= 394 mg ml(-1) for Shigella, >= 6.16 mg ml(-1) for L. monocytogenes, and >= 98.5 mg ml(-1) for S. aureus. According to the MBC results, it was found that the plant extract had bactericidal effects and in order to explain the activity mechanism and cell deformation of bacterial strains treated with plant extract, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used. The results of SEM showed that the treated cells appeared shrunken and there was degradation of the cell walls. This study, in which the antibacterial effect of C tanacetifolia was demonstrated, will be a base for further investigations on advanced purification and effect mechanism of action of its active compounds.

Abstract: A qualified In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs superlattice was grown on an n-type GaAs(100) Substrate by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE). Analysis of this structure was first carried out by X-Ray diffraction(XRD) and this structure's the interface thicknesses, roughness and x concentration determined at nanoscale. Secondly, the electrical characteristics of this sample such as the current-voltage-ternperature (I-V-T), capacitance-voltage-temperature (C-V-T) and conductance-voltage temperature (G-V-T) were studied over a wide temperature range. The energy distribution of interface states was determined from the forward bias IN characteristics by taking into account the bias dependence of the effective barrier height. Experimental results show that the forward and reverse I-V characteristics are similar to Schottky-junction behavior. The ideality factor n, series resistance R-s, barrier height phi(B) and density of interface states N-ss were found to be strong functions of temperature. According to thermionic emission (TE) theory, the zero-bias barrier height (phi(Bo)) calculated from forward bias I-V characteristics was found to increases with increasing temperature. In addition, the value of R-s as a function of both voltage and temperature was obtained from C-V and G-V characteristics. The temperature dependent of IN, C-V and G-V characteristics confirmed that the distribution the R-s and N-ss are important parameters that influence the electrical characteristics of these devices.

Language: Turkish

Document Type: Article

Author Keywords: Sugar beet; Kastamonu; agricultural application; mechanization

Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to determine mechanization conditions and agricultural applications of sugar beet producers in Kastamonu which has one of the 30 sugar beet factories in Turkey. An interview was carried out with the producers in four districts where most of production comes from. The survey results were collected and evaluated based on districts. In addition to this, averages of Kastamonu were determined. As a result, it was determined that tended to use mechanization depending on their economical conditions. It has seen that rotary cultivator, hoeing machine and combine sugar beet harvester have been used recently. It was also determined that average tractor power and equipment per tractor were found to be 64.1 HP and 6.5, respectively in Kastamonu. Furthermore, it was seen that soil analysis haven't been made by a big majority of the producers and they have applied excessive fertilizer.

Abstract: The people working in agriculture face with various dangerous factors. Therefore, the agriculture sector is considered as the most risky groups among all the sectors. The rate of work accidents in Turkey is far above the average in the developed countries. In order to prevent the work accidents, the characteristics of accidents should be determined and the preliminary precautions should be taken. As it is the case in the developing countries, sufficient study about labor security and worker health is not available in Turkey, either. In this study, the work accident characteristic of agriculture sector in Turkey has been tried to be determined. The values in agriculture sector have been compared with the averages of the other sectors and the differences have been determined. It has been regarded that this study will be a positive step for decreasing the rate of work accidents, which brings together many physical and moral burdens in Turkey which has 20 millions of agricultural population.

Abstract: The prediction of fire behavior in fire prone ecosystems is of vital importance in all phases of fire management including fire prevention, presuppression, suppression and fire use. This paper deals with an experimental burning exercise conducted in the Mediterranean region in Turkey. A series of 18 experimental fires were carried out in tall maquis fuels in Asar District, Antalya, southwestern Turkey. The site was selected for its structural homogeneity. But, there was an apparent variation in the fuel loadings in different plots. Weather conditions were within reasonable ranges during the burns. Wind speed ranged from 4.8 to 14.4 km h(-1), relative humidity from 16 to 76% and air temperature from 23.7 to 36 degrees C. Of the fire behavior characteristics, rate of spread ranged from 0.38 to 7.35 m min(-1), fuel consumption from 1.57 to 3.05 kg m(-2), and fire intensity from 188.72 to 5906.48 kW m(-1). Rate of spread was related to wind speed, relative humidity, moisture content of live fuels and vegetation cover. Fuel consumption was related to fuel loading and wind speed, and fire intensity was related to wind speed, moisture contents of live fuels and mean vegetation height and vegetation cover. Results obtained in this study should be invaluable in fire management planning.

Abstract: Paulownia elongota, one of the most fast growing species of the world, was evaluated as raw material for pulp and paper production. The chemical, morphological and anatomical aspects of paulownia wood were determined. The lignin, holocellulose and -cellulose contents in P. elongota wood were comparable to those of some common non-wood and hardwood raw materials. Different chemical pulping procedures were applied to P. elongota wood to evaluate its pulping potential. Paper strength properties and acidic group content bound to the cell wall were determined. The alkali solubility, water solubility and alcohol-benzene extractive content were higher than those from wood and most non-woods. The fiber length of 0.83 mm was observed, which is close to low end of the hardwoods but fiber diameter was very wide, similar to that of softwoods. The pulpability of paulownia wood was also studied. The pulp yield and viscosity were very low and the kappa numbers were high. The strength properties were comparable to those of some wood and non-wood pulps. Although, paulownia pulps are considered as low quality materials, it can be used for paper production when mixed with long fibrous materials.

Abstract: Different pulping processes, kraft-anthraquinone (AQ), bio-kraft, soda-AQ, ALCELL, and FORMACELL were studied for wheat straw. Fungal pre-treatment with Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, white rot fungi, was applied to wheat straw before kraft-AQ pulping, the so-called bio-kraft process. Fiber properties, carbohydrate contents, FT-IR analyses, strength properties of resultant paper, and bleachability characteristics were included to determine the properties of these pulp samples. In addition, the effects of the xylanase pre-treatment on the subsequent Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) bleaching process were investigated. The results indicated that kraft-AQ pulps from wheat straw exhibited better characteristics than the other pulp samples with lower kappa number, higher carbohydrate content, higher paper strength properties, and better bleachability. The highest kappa number, viscosity, and fiber coarseness were found for organosolv pulp samples; however, these pulps had the lowest carbohydrate contents and strength values and poor bleaching properties. It was concluded that the fungal pre-treatment of wheat straw with C. subvermispora had a positive effect on the bleachability and gave stronger pulp. There was no clear alteration in the crystallinity index of pulp samples based on the FT-IR results.

Abstract: Pretreatments of wheat straw with two different lignin-degrading fungal cultures Ceriporiopsis subvesmispora and Phlebia subserialis- were carried out and their effects on soda-AQ and kraff-AQ pulping were studied. After two weeks of bio-treatment of the wheat straw, both fungus were found to be suitable for bio-chemical pulping. The fungal pretreatment decreased the kappa number by as much as 24% and the unbleached pulp brightness increased by about 7% at a constant yield. Furthermore, the bio-pretreatment increased the brightness of the fully bleached pulp by about I ISO% point. This can apparently reduce the amount of the chemicals used in the bleaching process. The results on the sugar analysis of the pulps showed that in terms of carbohydrate composition, there were no significant differences between the bio-treated and control pulps. However, the strength properties of the un-bleached and bleached chemical straw pulps decreased slightly after the fungal pretreatment. This is different from reported results that the strength properties of mechanical pulps were improved after the fungal pre-treatment. There was no difference of the two while-rot fungal species, Ceriporiopsis subvesmispora and Phlebia subserialis in term of their effect on the strength properties.

Abstract: Polycrystalline CeCo4B compound was prepared by arc melting under argon atmosphere. The magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of CeCo4B were investigated. The magnetic measurements show that CeCo4B is ferrimagnetically ordered. The Curie temperature was determined to be 291 K. It was found that the maximum value of the magnetic entropy change |Delta S-m| has reached the highest value of 0.361 J/(kg K) at 1 T. Using the Landau expansion of magnetic free energy and Arrott plots, it was found that the phase transition in CeCo4B is of second order. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: We have investigated the effect of addition of Gd in Bi1.8Pb0.35Sr1.9Ca2.1Cu3GdxOy superconductor with x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5. The samples were prepared by standard solid-state reaction methods. The investigation consisted of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dc electrical resistivity, hole concentration and transport critical current density measurements. Transport measurements indicated that the superconducting transition temperature, transport critical current density and hole concentration values of the samples strongly depend on the Gd addition. The values of T-c, and J(c) of the samples decreased with the increase in Gd addition. When Gd addition ratio was increased, surface morphology and grain connectivity of the samples were observed to degrade from SEM investigations and phase ratio of the high-T-c (Bi-2223) phase to the low-T-c (Bi-2212) phase decreased (XRD measurements). The possible reasons for the observed degradation in superconducting and microstructure properties of Bi-2223 due to Gd addition were discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Regression equations were developed to estimate shrub fuel biomass of a maquis formation in western Turkey. The relationships between some shrub characteristics and live, dead, available (for consumption), and total fuel biomass were determined by simple/multiple linear regression. Measured biomass values for live, available, and total fuels varied from 0.70 to 6.74 kg m(-2), from 0.78 to 3.03 kg m(-2), and from 1.06 to 7.72 kg m(-2), respectively. The results obtained indicated that shrub fuel biomass could be satisfactorily predicted using the regression equations generated. The resulting equations were able to account for 60% to 89% of the observed variation (P < 0.05) in the fuel biomass categories studied. The results of this study should be invaluable in many forestry disciplines, including ecology, protection, and management.

Abstract: Computing fire danger and fire risk on a spatio-temporal scale is of crucial importance in fire management planning, and in the simulation of fire growth and development across a landscape. However, due to the complex nature of forests, fire risk and danger potential maps are considered one of the most difficult thematic layers to build up. Remote sensing and digital terrain data have been introduced for efficient discrete classification of fire risk and fire danger potential. In this study, two time-series data of Landsat imagery were used for determining spatio-temporal change of fire risk and danger potential in Korudag forest planning unit in northwestern Turkey. The method comprised the following two steps: (1) creation of indices of the factors influencing fire risk and danger; (2) evaluation of spatio-temporal changes in fire risk and danger of given areas using remote sensing as a quick and inexpensive means and determining the pace of forest cover change. Fire risk and danger potential indices were based on species composition, stand crown closure, stand development stage, insolation, slope and, proximity of agricultural lands to forest and distance from settlement areas. Using the indices generated, fire risk and danger maps were produced for the years 1987 and 2000. Spatio-temporal analyses were then realized based on the maps produced. Results obtained from the study showed that the use of Landsat imagery provided a valuable characterization and mapping of vegetation structure and type with overall classification accuracy higher than 83%.

Abstract: In this study a range of wholly aromatic copolyesters based on kink m-acetoxybenzoic acid (m-ABA) monomer (33 mol%) and equimolar-linear p-acetoxybenzoic acid (p-ABA), hydroquinone diacetate (HQDA) and terephthalic acid (TPA) monomers (67 mol%) have been synthesized by melt polycondensation reaction process at 280 degrees C and 260 degrees C for different time intervals. Characterization of copolyesters were performed by solution viscosity measurement, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), hot-stage polarized light microscopy, proton-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis (H-1-NMR). According to the results obtained, copolyesters showed thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior in an appropriate temperature range. The copolyesters were prepared in high yields. It was observed that the intrinsic viscosities of the copolyesters are increased regularly with increasing polymerization time and temperature. All the copolyesters were soluble in a trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane (30:70 v/v) except the copolyesters which were synthesized at 280 degrees C in 5h. According to the WAXD results; the degree of crystallinity of copolyesters were found to be between 5-15%. DSC and hot stage polarized light microscopy results showed that all the copolyesters are melt processable and a significant molecular interaction exist in a very broad temperature range (160 degrees C and 165 degrees C) in the nematic mesophase. The Tg values are increased with an increasing polycondensation reaction time and temperature and they were observed between 93-126 degrees C. Fibers prepared by a hand-spinning technique from the polymer melt exhibit well-developed fibrillar structure parallel to the fiber axis.

Document Type: Article

Author Keywords: kraft pulping; modelling; Crimean Pine; paper properties

Abstract: A central composite factorial design was used to examine the influence of independent variables of kraft pulping of Crimean Pine wood chips at 50 Schopper-Riegler (degrees SR) level.
Second order polynomial regression equations related each dependent variable to the different independent variables were obtained that reproduced the experimental results for the PFI beating revolutions, breaking length, burst index, tear index, stretch and brightness at 50 degrees SR obtained at sulphidity, H-factor and active alkali rates over the ranges 15-45%, 800-2400 and 14-22% respectively, with average errors less than %20.
To minimize environmental effects of sulphide and acceptable levels of the properties of the paper sheets, low sulphidity rate, high H-factor and medium alkali concentration can be used.

Abstract: Anatolion Black Pine wood chips were pulped using kraft method in laboratory scale batch digester. A series of experimental kraft pulping was carried out according to Central Composite Design (CCD) to investigate the pulping process and to study the effect of its variables (active alkali rate, sulphidity rate and Vroom's H-factor combining temperature and time) on pulp quality and yield. Second order polynomial regression equations using three independent process variables, were found to be approprite,for describing kraft pulping of Anatolian Black Pine wood fibers. The derived equations were able to predict the kappa number, viscosity, yield, holocellulose and alpha-cellulose content of the pulp with adjusted R-2 values of 96. 1%, 96.8%, 86.3%, 62.5%, 96 1 % and 92.2% respectively) H- factor level and the active alkali charge are the most strongly influcing all the dependent variables. In order to obtain acceptable levels of the pulp properties, high sulphidity rate (45%), medium H-factor (1600) and medium alkali concentration (18 %) can be used in kraft pulping of Anatolian Block Pine woods.

Abstract: Crown structure and fuel loading are important factors affecting crown fire occurrence and behavior This paper reports on the canopy fuel characteristics and regression models to determine Canopy Fuel Loading (CFL) of young black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) trees. Equations were based on the data from 11 destructively sampled black pine plantation trees. This data was used to develop best equations fit with ordinary least squares procedures that estimate available and total canopy fuel load for young black pine plantation trees. Model fits for available and total canopy fuel load were generally good. Results indicated that available and total canopy fuel load could be easily predicted using diameter at breast height (D), variable. The resulting equations were able to account for 94% of the observed variation in the total canopy fuel load. Average tree canopy fuel load was 8.9 kg. On average 41% of canopy fuel load was allocated to the needle, 13% to the fine branch, 20% to the medium branch, 18% to thick branch and 8% to the very thick branch. Vertical distribution of canopy fuels was variable. Most foliage was found on the main branches of the medium portion of the canopy. The lower and upper portions of the crown had relatively less foliage. The results of the study allowed also for the comparisons of linear and nonlinear equations of biomass estimation commonly used in literature.

Abstract: This study presents and discusses the results of a fire behavior study conducted in Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra J.F. Arnold subsp. nigra var. caramanica (Loudon) Rehder) slash. A total of 30 experimental fires were conducted over 3 years under varying weather and fuel loading conditions in aging slash. Relationships between fire behavior and fuel properties and weather conditions were determined with correlation and regression analyses. Spread rate, fuel consumption, and fire intensity were all related to fuel properties and weather, and ranged from 0.2 to 3.1 m min(-1), from 0.71 to 6.65 kg m(-2), and from 14.05 to 3961.46 kW m(-1), respectively. Fuel loading ranged from 1.56 kg m(-2) to 6.96 kg m(-2). Differences in fire behavior were clearly shown to be a function of wind speed, fuel moisture, slash age, and fuel loading. Results obtained in this study should be invaluable in overall fire management practices. However, its use should be restricted to the range of conditions within which the data were gathered.

Abstract: Fuels are of great importance in fire behaviour prediction. This paper deals with the prediction of aboveground foliage and branch biomass of calabrian pine (Pinus brutia Ten.) and Anatolian black pine (P. nigra J.F. Arnold subsp. nigra var. caramanica (Loudon) Rehder). The study was based on a total of 418 destructively sampled calabrian and black pine trees and saplings. As a result of the analyses, several regression equations were developed for predicting foliage, fine branch (<0.6 cm), medium branch (0.6-1.0 cm), active fuels (foliage+fine branch), thick branch (1.0-2.5 cm), and total fuel loading. The relationships between fuel biomass and tree properties were determined by multiple linear regressions, considering tree properties as the independent variables, and foliage, branch, active fuel and total biomass as the dependent variables. Tree properties included tree height, crown length, crown width, diameter at breast height and root collar diameter. Results indicated that foliage, branch and total biomass could all be accurately predicted based on the readily measurable and/or predictable tree characteristics. Of the fuel characteristics, crown length, crown width, and height were the three most significant predictors of fuel biomass. The results of this study will not only contribute to the prediction of fire behaviour, but will also be of invaluable use in other forestry disciplines.

Abstract: A total of 28 line and 24 point-source fires were ignited under varying weather and fuel loading conditions in Anatolian black pine (Pinus nigra J.F.Arnold subsp. nigra var. caramanica (Loudon) Rehder) stands. Relationships between the rate of fire spread and fuel and weather conditions were determined with correlation and regression analyses. The rate of fire spread ranged from 0.12 to 1.20 m min(-1) in line fires. In the ignition, transition, and steady state phases of point-source fires, the rate of fire spread ranged from 0.04 to 0.78 m min(-1), from 0.11 to 0.59 m min(-1), and from 0.08 to 0.99 m min-1, respectively. Surface fuel loading ranged from 1.27 to 2.45 kg m(-2) for line fire and from 1.56 to 2.67 kg m(-2) for point-source fire. The results showed that the rate of fire spread was closely related to wind speed and fuel moisture content for line and point-source fires. The linear prediction for wind conditions estimates that equilibrium spread rates may be achieved within 25 min after the ignition of point-source fires.

Abstract: Reactions and reaction dynamics of gas-phase H(or D) atoms with D(or H) atoms adsorbed onto a Cu(111) surface have been investigated by the quasi-classical molecular dynamics method. To simulate the H(D) -> D(H) + Cu(111) system at a 94 K surface temperature, D(or H) adsorbates were disseminated arbitrarily on the surface of Cu(111) to form 0.50, 0.28 and 0.18 ML of coverages. The interaction of hydrogen atoms and the surface system is worked out by an LEPS function. LEPS parameters have been determined by using the total energy values which were calculated by a density functional theory (DFT) method and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation energy for various configurations of one and two hydrogen atoms on the Cu(111) surface. The Cu(111) surface, imitated by an embedded-atom method which is a many-body potential parameterized by Voter-Chen, is formed as a multilayer stab. The slab atoms are permitted to move. Various processes, trapping onto the surface, inelastic reflection of the incident projectile and penetration of the adsorbate or projectile atom into the slab, are examined. The dependence of these mechanisms on isotopic replacement has also been analyzed. Considerable contributions of the hot-atom pathways for the product formations are consequently observed. The rate of subsurface penetrations is obtained to be larger than the sticking rate onto the surface. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: This paper presents results on the total gamma counting efficiency of a NaI(TI) detector from point and disk sources. The directions of photons emitted from the source were determined by Monte-Carlo techniques and the photon path lengths in the detector were determined by analytic equations depending on photon directions. This is called the hybrid Monte-Carlo method where analytical expressions are incorporated into the Monte-Carlo simulations. A major advantage of this technique is the short computation time compared to other techniques on similar computational platforms. Another advantage is the flexibility for inputting detector-related parameters (such as source-detector distance, detector radius, source radius, detector linear attenuation coefficient) into the algorithm developed, thus making it an easy and flexible method to apply to other detector systems and configurations. The results of the total counting efficiency model put forward for point and disc sources were compared with the previous work reported in the literature. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Three-dimensional analysis has been made using the MCNP Monte Carlo code and ENDFIB-VI nuclear data. The nuclear characteristics of a fusion-fission hybrid reactor such as tritium breeding ratio, energy multiplication factor, fissile fuel breeding, first wall radiation damage, and heat deposition have been investigated in a liquid first wall, blanket, and shield for the various mixture compositions of molten salt and heavy metals for blanket layer thicknesses of 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm. The neutron flux load at the first wall is assumed to be 10 MW/ m 2. The flowing molten salt wall is composed of flibe (Li2BeF4) as the main constituent with increased mole fractions of heavy metals, 2 to 10% ThF4 and UF4. In terms of all parameters, the mixtures with UF4 show better performance than the mixtures with ThF4. The atomic displacement and the helium, tritium production rates remain well below the presumable limits for all mixture compositions of molten salt and heavy metals and thicknesses of the blanket.

Abstract: A series of copolyesters were synthesized by rnelt-polycondensation reaction of poly(ethylene terephtalate) (PET) with various proportions of equimolar compositions of p-acetoxybenzoic acid (p-ABA), hydroquinone diacetate (HQDA) and terephtalic acid (TPA). Viscosity, liquid crystallinity, thermal properties, degree of crystallinity and thermal stabilitiy of these copolyesters were investigated by Ubbelohde viscometer, hot-stage polarized light microscopy (PLM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and thermogravimetric analysis,TGA), respectively. On the basis of viscosity measurement, it was observed that intrinsic viscosity values of the copolyesters are increased regularly with increasing amounts of aromatic units (p-ABA, HQDA and TPA) in the polymer chain. Thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior was observed in the copolyesters containing over 50 mol% of rigid p-ABA/HQDA/TPA aromatic units. DSC analysis of the anisotropic copolyesters revealed broad and weak endotherms associated with the nematic phases, and the melting temperatures were found to be in the processable region. As the mol% of PET in the polymer chain increased, the specific enthalpies of fusion and the degree of crystallinity of the copolyesters were also increased regularly.

Abstract: Black Scorpion fish (Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus 1758) caught during monthly sampling carried out in 2003 in the Dardanelles, Turkey, were examined for the parasite. Trachelobdella lubrica. Infested fish were caught only during December 2003, and the clinical conditions of the 12 fish naturally infested with T. lubrica included fin rot, swollen foci of skin and haemorrhages of the gill and abdominal skin. The prevalence, intensity and abundance of infestation in December 2003 were 40%, 1.75 and 0.70, respectively. The average hepatosomatic index of the infested fish was lower than that of noninfested fish, while the means of the kidney index, splenosomatic index, condition factor, body weight and length were not significantly different between the infested and noninfested fish groups. Blood analysis was conducted on 12 naturally infested and 12 healthy (noninfested) Black Scorpion fish to determine the possible characteristic changes in blood parameters of the fish in response to natural infestation with T. lubrica. Blood leucocyte counts, haematocrit levels, serum total protein, albumin phosphorus, urea, glucose, globulin, cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in naturally infested Black Scorpion fish were significantly less than those of the noninfested fish (p < 0.05). No significant decreases were observed in the serum sodium, iron, calcium, potassium, chlorine, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine values of the naturally infested fish. Blood haemoglobin values, erythrocyte counts and serum glutamate aspartate aminotransferase (glutamate oxalacetate transaminase), alanine aminotransferase (glutamate pyruvate transaminase), uric acid and very low-density lipids levels of infested fish were insignificantly greater than those in healthy fish.

Title: An analytical expression for electron elastic scattering cross section from atoms and molecules in 1.0 keV to 1.0 MeV energy range

Language: English

Document Type: Article

KeyWords Plus: INTERMEDIATE ENERGY; POINT NUCLEI; POSITRONS; CF4; CO2; NE; AR

Abstract: In this Letter, an expression is presented to calculate elastic scattering cross sections for incident electrons as a function of both energy and atomic number in the energy range between 1 keV and 1 MeV for materials with effective atomic number between 3 and 18. The expression we present has a rather simple analytical form which gives accurate results that are in very good agreement with the results calculated by a relativistic partial-wave expansion method. Hence, this equation can be employed accurately and efficiently in a continuous manner, without the need to go through rather large look-up tables, thus making the whole process quick, efficient and removing possible computational errors that may arise from the efforts of interpolation.

Abstract: The absorption coefficients have been widely used for problems and applications involving dose calculations. Direct measurements of the coefficients are difficult, and theoretical computations are usually employed. In this paper, analytical equations are presented for determining the mass energy absorption coefficients for gamma rays with an incident energy range between 0.4 MeV and 10 MeV in silicon, carbon, copper and sodium iodide. The mass energy absorption coefficients for gamma rays were calculated, and the results obtained were compared with the values reported in the literature.
