Segmentation and identification of compounds or materials existing in a scene is a crucial process. Hyperspectral sensors operating in different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are able to quantify spectral characteristics of materials in different states. Due to the fact that some chemical compounds in gas state have insignificant light reflectance characteristics in visible region of the spectrum, imaging sensors operating in infrared regions are needed to sense energy absorbency characteristics of these compositions. The present study proposes a novel method for detection of flammable gases in long-wave infrared hyperspectral images. Proposed method begins with Black-Body radiation curve compensation. Since a priori information regarding the compounds in the scene is not always available, endmember spectral signatures are extracted with VCA hyperspectral unmixing algorithm. Afterwards, endmember signatures are matched with infrared energy absorbance signature of the target gas obtained from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Material Measurement Laboratory. Finally, concentration of target signature at each image pixel is detected by means of endmember abundance maps. The performance of the approach is compared with that of similarity measure based gas detection methods. It is observed that the proposed technique removes the need for an external threshold setting while providing better resolvability of the gasses.

Design Parameters and Principles of Liquid-Crystal-Templated Synthesis of Polymeric Materials via Photolithography
AKDENİZ, BURAK; Büküşoğlu, Emre (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-10-08)
The design parameters and principles for the synthesis of polymeric microscopic objects using a method that combines photolithography and liquid crystal (LC) molecular templates have been demonstrated. Specifically, mixtures of a reactive mesogen (RM257) and nonreactive LC (E7) were polymerized using UV light and a photomask. We used photomasks with circular, triangular, rectangular, square, star-shaped, and heart-shaped features to provide initial shapes to the objects. Then, the unreacted parts were extra...
Revisiting the Challenges in Fabricating Uniform Coatings with Polyfunctional Molecules on High Surface Energy Materials
Oyola-Reynoso, Stephanie; Wang, Zhengjia; Chen, Jiahao; Çınar, Simge; Chang, Boyce; Thuo, Martin (2015-12-01)
Modifying the chemistry of a surface has been widely used to influence interfacial properties of a material or nature of interaction between two materials. This article provides an overview on the role of polyfunctional molecules, specifically silanes, in surface modification of polar surfaces (bearing soft nucleophiles). An emphasis on the mechanism of the reaction in the presence of adsorbed water, where the modifying reagents are hydrolysable, is discussed. To highlight the complexity of the reaction, mo...
Enantioselective michael addition of 1-nitropropane to nitroolefins with 2-aminodmap and quinine based bifunctional organocatalysts
Kanberoğlu, Esra; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2015)
1,3-dinitro compounds are key materials in the synthesis of a variety of important fine chemicals. Moreover, they are reduced to 1,3-diamines which are starting materials of biologically active compounds, agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. In this study, ((2S,3S)-1,3-dinitropentan-2-yl)benzene was synthesized via the Michael addition of 1-nitropropane to trans-β-nitrostyrene in the presence of chiral bifunctional 2-aminoDMAP and quinine based organocatalysts. In the first part of study, reaction conditions ...
Mechanical properties and surface energies of low density polyethylene poly(vinyl chloride) blends
Akovali, G; Torun, TT; Bayramlı, Erdal; Erinc, HK (1998-03-01)
A series of blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) are prepared and examined. Plasma treatment is applied to one of the components (LDPE) in order to affect the degree of compatibility. For this purpose, different monomers, such as carbon tetrachloride and vinyl chloride, are used. Tensile test results for all the blend samples, with and without plasma-treated LDPE, are compared. The surface energy results of blends prepared from untreated and treated LDPE-PVC showed consid...
Adsorption of hydrogen and oxygen on single and double layer stepped Si(100) surfaces
Salman, SA; Katırcıoğlu, Şenay; Erkoc, S (2001-06-30)
We have investigated the electronic band structure of hydrogen and oxygen adsorbed single and double layer stepped Si(100) surfaces by Empirical Tight Binding (ETB) method. The total electronic energies of the H,O-S-A, D-A, D-B type stepped Si(100) systems are calculated with limited number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms separately to find out the most probable adsorption sites of the adatoms in the initial stage of hydrogenation and oxidation.
