The sediment samples collected near the shore from Romania were used for the determination of levels of natural Pb-210, Ra-226 and fallout Cs-137 radionuclides. The sediment samples were dried and ground to a fine powder. Airtight sealed samples were counted by gamma-spectrometer with 110 cm(3) well-type HPGe detector for one week each. By using the isotopic analysis results, sediment accumulation rate was determined. A sedimentation rate of 0.20 +/- 0.01 cm.y(-1) was determined using Pb-210 method and 0.15+/-0.03 cm.y(-1) using Cs-137 isotope. Fallout peak from Chernobyl reactor accident, as well as the peaks due to nuclear tests, act as time markers.

Determination of Nitrate and Nitrite by Ion-Selective Electrodes in Relation to Gypsum Formation on Some Travertine Buildings in Polluted Atmosphere of Ankara
Göktürk, E. H.; Al-badawi, M. B.; Aygün, S.; Caner, E. N. (Informa UK Limited, 1990-9)
Gypsum formation on calcareous building stones in the polluted atmosphere of cities is thought to be accelerated by the presence of nitrogen-containing compounds. A reliable method for nitrate and nitrite determinations is proposed and the presence of nitrogen compounds is discussed in relation to their possible influence on gypsum formation. Investigations on nitrate and nitrite determinations with ionselective electrodes have been carried out along with gypsum determinations on the samples taken from alte...
Modeling polychlorinated biphenyl congener patterns and dechlorination in dated sediments from the Ashtabula River, Ohio, USA
İmamoğlu, İpek; Chrıstensen, Er (Wiley, 2002-11-01)
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners were analyzed in four deep, dated sediment cores from the Ashtabula River (OH, USA), for the purpose of identifying relevant PCB sources and congener patterns. The time span for three of the cores is from the mid 1960s to 1998, whereas the fourth has a time span of six years. The total PCB concentrations are in the range of 0.4 to 6.8 mug/g dry weight, with the highest concentrations observed in samples from the 1970s. A factor analysis (FA) model with nonnegative co...
Determination of minor and trace elements in Turkish diet by duplicate portion technique
Parr, R. M.; Mumcu, Taşkın; Gökmen, İnci; Gökmen, Ayfle Filiz; Aras, Namık Kemal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1988-10)
The minor and trace element content of diet samples from two different social population groups were determined. Samples were prepared by duplicate portion technique by colecting everything 16 subjects ate and drank during a 3-day period. Samples were homogenized, freeze-dried and elemental concentrations of Br, Co, Cr, Cs, Fe, K, Na, Rb, Sc, Se and Zn were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis. Elemental concentrations and daily dietary intake of the elements were compared with the diets o...
TRANSPORT OF DISSOLVED DISPERSED PETROLEUM-HYDROCARBONS IN THE NORTHEASTERN MEDITERRANEAN
YILMAZ, A; SAYDAM, AC; BASTURK, O; SALIHOGLU, I (Informa UK Limited, 1991-01-01)
The distribution and transportation of Dissolved/Dispersed Petroleum Hydrocarbons (DDPH) were investigated in the Northern Levantine together with the physical dynamics of the region. It was clearly observed that the characteristic meso‐scale eddies formed in the area strongly affect the distribution of this pollutant. A recent example of cruises which was performed in March 1989, covered relatively large scale are in the Eastern Mediterranean and the chemistry studies coupled with the physical data for thi...
INFLUENCE OF EVEN NUCLEON NUMBERS AND CLOSED SHELLS ON MASS AND CHARGE-DISTRIBUTION IN LOW-ENERGY FISSION
BUYUKMUMCU, Z; ERTEN, HN; ARAS, NK (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1994-06-01)
Extensive experimental and evaluated yield data are now available for the fragments in low energy nuclear fission. Using these data we re-examined the influence of even nuclear numbers and closed shells on the mass and charge distribution in low energy fission. We used WAHL's Zp model and Ap model. We also examined the effects of Z = 50, N = 82 and possibly N = 88 shells. A new method was developed based on two Gaussian curves for the even and odd products. The EOZ and EON values calculated are based on the...
