We have attempted in this work an assignment of the Q(y) dipole moment orientations for all the chlorophylls in the major plant antenna, light-harvesting complex II (LHCII). Information that has recently become available through a structural model of the LHCII, site-directed mutagenesis, and spectroscopy of both LHCII and CP29 has been evaluated to model the electronic excited state structure in the presence of chlorophyll-chlorophyll and chlorophyll-protein interactions. An assignment has been obtained which satisfactorily reproduces the polarized linear absorption characteristics. The assignment proposed has also been found to be adequate in reproducing the time scales of the energy transfer processes. The pathways for the flow of excitation energy among the chlorophylls of the complex have been suggested in the context of identity and orientation assignments.

QCD sum rule analysis of the rare radiative B(c)-> D(s)*gamma decay Azizi, K.; Bashiry, V. (American Physical Society (APS), 2007-12-01) In this work, the radiative B(c)-> D(s)(*)gamma decay is investigated in the framework of QCD sum rules. The transition form factors responsible for the decay are calculated. The total branching ratio for this decay is estimated to be in the order of 10(-5), so this decay can be measurable at LHC in the near future.
Pseudoscalar-meson decuplet-baryon coupling constants in light cone QCD Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Özpineci, Altuğ; Savcı, Mustafa (American Physical Society (APS), 2009-11-01) Taking into account the SU(3)(f) breaking effects, the strong coupling constants of the pi, K, and eta mesons with decuplet baryons are calculated within the light cone QCD sum rules method. It is shown that all coupling constants, even in the case of SU(3)(f) breaking, are described in terms of only one universal function. It is shown that for Xi(*0)->Xi(*0)eta, transition violation of SU(3)(f) symmetry is very large and for other channels when SU(3)(f) symmetry is violated, its maximum value constitutes 1...
Time-related wettability characteristic of acrylic resin surfaces treated by glow discharge Ozden, N; Akaltan, F; Suzer, S; Akovali, G (Elsevier BV, 1999-12-01) Statement of problem. Adhesion and cohesion have important roles in denture retention, and attempts have been made to improve the wettability of the acrylic resin material by surface treatments.
Stibine preconcentration in a quartz trap with subsequent atomization in the quartz multiatomizer for atomic absorption spectrometry Korkmaz, D; Dedina, J; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2004-02-01) A preliminary evaluation of a simple (bare) quartz tube trap for collection of SbH3 and for volatilization of trapped analyte with subsequent atomization in a multiple microflame quartz tube atomizer (multiatomizer) for atomic absorption spectrometry is presented. The influence of relevant experimental parameters on the collection/volatilization efficiency was investigated. The parameters studied Were: collection temperature and time, volatilization temperature and flow rates of air and hydrogen for the vol...
