Dielectric properties of potato flour-water dispersions (slurry) were measured in the frequency range of 500-2500 MHz by the open-ended coaxial probe method using a network analyzer as a function of concentration (10-25% w/w) and temperature (20-75 degrees C). Both commercial and laboratory prepared samples of potato flours were used. Results indicated that the dielectric constant (') decreased with temperature and frequency while increased with concentration. The loss factor ('') increased with frequency and concentration; however, temperature showed mixed effect. Both ' and '' data in conventionally used microwave frequencies (915 and 2450 MHz) were studied as function of concentration and temperature for two sample types using a response surface methodology and found to follow 2(nd) order polynomial models. Temperature and concentration contributed significantly on dielectric spectra of potato slurry and the sample source had some effect. A change in ' and '' above 70 degrees C could be attributed by starch gelatinization. Penetration depth (D(p)) decreased with an increase in frequency and non-systematic with temperature. Addition of salt substantially reduced D(p) of potato slurry.

Dielectric properties of six different species of starch at 2450 MHz
Ndife, MK; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Bayindirli, L (1998-01-01)
Dielectric properties at 2450 MHz were determined for tapioca, corn, wheat, rice, waxymaize and amylomaize starches in granular (moisture content 1 and 13%) and in solution forms [starch-water ratio:1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2 (w/w)] at temperatures from 30 to 95 degrees C. Dielectric, properties were shown to be dependent on temperature, moisture content and starch type. The increase in moisture content increased dielectric constant and loss factor of all types of starches. Increasing temperatures decreased the dielec...
Iso-vector Form Factors of the Delta and Nucleon in QCD Sum Rules
Özpineci, Altuğ (2012-06-21)
Form factors are important non-perturbative properties of hadrons. They give information about the internal structure of the hadrons. In this work, iso-vector axial-vector and iso-vector tensor form factors of the nucleon and the iso-vector axial-vector Delta -> N transition form factor calculations in QCD Sum Rules are presented.

Speciation and preconcentration of inorganic tellurium from waters using a mercaptosilica microcolumn and determination by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry
Korez, A; Eroglu, AE; Volkan, Mürvet; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2000-12-01)
A separation-preconcentration method utilising a mercapto-modified silica microcolumn was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Te(rv) and Te(VI) in waters by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry. Bottled drinking water, tap water and sea-water samples were spiked with sub-ng ml(-1) concentrations of Te(IV) and the spiked solutions were subjected to the mercapto-modified silica microcolumn separation and enrichment procedure. The spike recovery values varied between 86 and 114%. I...
Niobium-Cobalt co-doped Barium Titanate Dielectric Ceramics for Multilayered Ceramic Capacitors
Özgür, Berkay; Öztürk, Abdullah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-8-22)
Niobium (Nb) and Cobalt (Co) co-doped barium titanate ceramics were prepared to stabilize ferroelectric-tetragonal phase transformation of barium titanate. Preparation of ceramics started with mixing barium titanate, niobium oxide and cobalt oxide powders at predetermined concentrations varying from 1 to 3 at%. The mixing was done at wet conditions using distilled water with alumina balls at 50 rpm for 24 h in a ball mill. Then, the mixtures were compacted into 15 mm diameter and 3 mm thick disc shaped pell...
