Formation of spurious grains during directional solidification (DS) of Al-7 wt.% Si and Al-19 wt.% Cu alloys through an abrupt increase in cross-sectional area has been examined by experiments and by numerical simulations. Stray grains were observed in the Al-19 wt.% Cu samples and almost none in the Al-7 wt.% Si. The locations of the stray grains correlate well where numerical solutions indicate the solute-rich melt to be flowing up the thermal gradient faster than the isotherm velocity. It is proposed that the spurious grain formation occurred by fragmentation of slender tertiary dendrite arms was enhanced by thermosolutal convection. In Al-7 wt.% Si, the dendrite fragments sink in the surrounding melt and get trapped in the dendritic array growing around them, and therefore they do not grow further. In the Al-19 wt.% Cu alloy, on the other hand, the dendrite fragments float in the surrounding melt and some find conducive thermal conditions for further growth and become stray grains.

SURVIVAL KINETICS OF LACTIC-ACID STARTER CULTURES DURING AND AFTER FREEZE-DRYING BOZOGLU, F; OZILGEN, M; BAKIR, U (Elsevier BV, 1987-09-01) Survival kinetics of lactic acid starter cultures were modeled considering the microorganism and external medium interfacial area as the critical factors determining the resistance of the microorganisms to freeze-drying. Surviving fraction of the microorganisms increased with the increasing biomass concentration during freeze-drying, and this is attributed to the mutual shielding effect of the microorganisms against the severe conditions of the external medium. Survival of the microorganisms over the storag...
Evaluation of functional changes in akr overexpressing colorectal cell line sw480 Ermiş, Çağdaş; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Department of Biochemistry (2021-2-02) The Aldo-Keto Reductases (AKR) are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(P)H) dependent oxidoreductases that function in phase 1 metabolismbyreducingaldehydes and ketones into primary and secondary alcohols. Inthis protein superfamily, the expression of AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 enzymes have been linked by us and others to colorectal cancer (CRC). Over-activation of these enzymes in the presence of excess glucose can result in the activation of the polyol pathway, which causes oxidative stress and migh...
CONTINUOUS AND DISCONTINUOUS PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN AMMONIUM HALIDES Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (1984-01-01) Raman spectra of NH4Cl and NH4Br have been recorded as functions of temperature and pressure. The λ-type phase transition in NH4Cl has been studied as (i) a weakly first order. (ii) a tricritical and (iii) a second order transition. A strongly first order transition has been studied in NH4Br. The analysis of the data has concentrated on the correlation of frequency shift with volume change across the phase change regions. This correlation has been established for the frequencies of the ν2 and ν5 Raman modes...
Parameterization of iron and manganese cycling in the Black Sea suboxic and anoxic environment Konovalov, S; Samodurov, A; Oguz, T; Ivanov, L (Elsevier BV, 2004-12-01) New and published data on the distribution and speciation of manganese and iron in seawater are analyzed to identify and parameterize major biogeochemical processes of their cycling within the suboxic (similar to15.6less than or equal tosigma(t)less than or equal tosimilar to16.2) and anoxic layers (sigma(t)less than or equal tosimilar to16.2) of the Black Sea. A steady-state transport-reaction model is applied to reveal layering and parameterize kinetics of redox and dissolution/precipitation processes. Pr...
Enzyme-Catalyzed Stereoselective Synthesis of Two Novel Carbasugar Derivatives Gumus, Aysegul; Tanyeli, Cihangir (2010-01-01) Enzymatic resolution of racemic 1,4,5,6-tetrachloro-2-(hydroxymethyl)-7,7-dimethoxybicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene (rac-1) using various lipases in vinyl acetate as acetyl source was studied. The obtained enantiomerically enriched (+)-(1,4,5,6-tetrachloro-7,7-dimethoxybicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-yl)methyl acetate ((+)-2; 94% ee), upon treatment with Na in liquid NH3, followed by Amberlyst-15 resin in acetone, provided (-)-5-(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-en-7-one ((-)-7), which is a valuable precursor for the s...
