Pithonellid calcitarchs are studied in the organic-rich limestones of the Derdere-A Member from the middle? Cenomanian deposits of SE Turkey for the first time. Little is known about the distribution of pithonellid calcitarchs in the Cretaceous strata of Turkey. Three morphogroups of pithonellid calcitarchs are distinguished: they are represented by Pithonella sphaerica (Kaufmann, 1865) and P. ovalis (Kaufmann, 1865), both dominating the pithonellid assemblages, and by Bonetocardiella conoidea (Bonet, 1956), this latter being less abundant. Compared to the relative abundance of Upper Cretaceous pithonellid calcitarchs in the study area, the diversity is extremely low. The significant increase in abundance of pithonellid calcitarchs is particularly noticeable in the Cenomanian. We observed a significant increase in abundance of pithonellid calcitarchs in the Derdere-A Member, which is associated with an early transgressive phase of the middle? Cenomanian Arabian Platform. They are present in relative abundance and could therefore represent a potentially useful correlative marker horizon in SE Turkey. Pithonellid calcitarchs have been interpreted as indicators of increased nutrient input. A positive correlation exist between pithonellid calcitarchs abundance and nutrition input in the Derdere-A Member which is a sequence of carbonates deposite under eutrophic conditions, as evidenced by the low diversity and very low abundance of benthonic and planktonic foraminifers, and the high abundance of pithonellid calcitarchs. As a result, the increase of pithonellid calcitarchs indicates the increase of nutrient input in the Derdere-A Member. We noticed that a comparable trophic change also occurred throughout the SE Turkey carbonate platform in the middle? Cenomanian. The increase in the pithonellid abundance reported here may be a possible indicator of such a change.

Hydrous aluminosilicate metasomatism in an intra-oceanic subduction zone: Implications from the Kurancali (Turkey) ultramafic-mafic cumulates within the Alpine Neotethys Ocean Toksoy Köksal, Fatma; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2009-03-01) The Kurancali ultramafic-mafic cumulate body, an allochthonous ophiolitic sliver in central Anatolia, is characterized by the presence of abundant hydrous phases (phlogopite, pargasite) besides augitic diopside, plagioclase, and accessory amounts of rutile, sphene, apatite, zircon, and calcite. Based on modes of the essential minerals, the olivine-orthopyroxene-free cumulates are grouped as clinopyroxenite, hydrous clinopyroxenite, phlogopitite, hornblendite, layered gabbro, and diorite. Petrographical, min...
Intrusive products of H2O and CO2 rich alkaline melt (Karakoç Magmatic Association): Significance in tethyan realm, Turkey Toksoy Köksal, Fatma (null; 2012-10-01) The Karakoç Magmatic Association (KMA) within the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex (CACC) consists of ultramafic cumulates, layered gabbros and diorite. The KMA intruded the carbonate dominated upper part of the CACC as a network and includes host rock xenoliths. The KMA is characterized by abundance of Ca-rich phases (green diopside (Mg#=57-93), pargasite (Mg#=41-86), plagioclase (An=91-95), scapolite (Me=42-92), calcite) and Ca-free minerals (phlogopite (Mg#=71-76), alkali-feldspar). The accessories...
Colicinogeny in local isolates of salmonellae and plasmid transfer studies Elpek, G; İçgen, Bülent; Özcengiz, Gülay (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2003-01-01) Colicinogeny was determined in local isolates of S. typhimurium and S. enteritidis. Fourteen out of 35 S. typhimurium isolates of hospital origin were colicin producers whereas only one chicken isolate out of 82 S. enteritidis isolates of various origin (human, chicken or egg) produced colicin. A colicin producing, cephalothin (Cpt)- and piperacillin (Prl)-resistant local isolate of Salmonella havana (H32) harbored 4 plasmids of 54.0, 28.4, 2.7 and 1.9 kb. Upon curing its plasmids, the strain lost the abili...
Enantioselective Michael Addition of Nitroalkanes to Nitroalkenes Catalyzed by Chiral Bifunctional Quinine-Based Squaramides Kanberoğlu, Esra; Tanyeli, Cihangir (Wiley, 2015-10-26) A family of chiral bifunctional acid-/base-type quinine/squaramide organocatalysts is shown to be highly active promoters of the conjugate addition of 1-nitropropane to various trans-β-nitroalkenes. The cooperation of the quinine and the sterically encumbered squaramide moieties catalyzed the Michael addition reactions at 0 °C by using a catalyst loading of only 2 mol % to afford the 1,3-dinitro Michael adducts with excellent enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity (up to 95 % ee and syn/anti isomers
Investigation of optical properties of Bi12GeO20 sillenite crystals by spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy Isik, M.; Delice, S.; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Darvishov, N. H.; Baglev, V. E. (Elsevier BV, 2020-06-15) Bi12GeO20 (BGO) compound is one of the fascinating members of sillenites group due to its outstanding photorefractive and photocatalytic characteristics. The present paper aims at investigating optical properties of BGO crystals by means of spectroscopic ellipsometry and Raman spectroscopy measurements. Bi12GeO20 single crystals grown by Czochralski method were structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments and the analyses showed that studied crystals have cubic crystalline structure.
