The organic matter in 9 recent (not more than 250 years old) and 'organic-rich' sediments from the southern Black Sea shelf and upper slope have been characterized semi-quantitatively by Pyrolysis/Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (PY/GC/MS) and C-13 Cross Polarization Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (CPMAS-NMR) spectrometry. The organic matter of 7 of the studied sediments was found to be ligno-carbohydrate with a proteinaceous component, one sediment appeared to contain oxidized coal dust and one contained thiophenes in association with pyrite. The ligno component is derived from grasses and soft wood lignin. Material entrapped in an anoxic environment contained the highest proportions of carbohydrate and protein. All the samples had suffered diagenesis as is generally shown by the attachment of carboxyl groups and the removal of methoxyl groups. The evidence suggests that diagenesis occurred whilst the particles traversed the oxic water column. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry to investigate the effects of dopants on characteristics of polypyrrole and its copolymers
Guerel, Evren Aslan; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2013-02-01)
Polypyrrole and its copolymers with terepthalic acid bis-(2-thiophen-3-yl-ethyl)ester, (P(TATE-co-Py) were characterized by direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry to investigate the effects of dopant on thermal stability and conductivity. Conductivities of the films were measured with four-probe technique, and the results were compared with the pyrolysis data. In general, an increase in conductivity was detected as the stability of dopant increased. The extent of doping and the strength of interaction between t...
Early-middle Carnian radiolarian cherts within the Eymir Unit, Central Turkey: Constraints for the age of the Palaeotethyan Karakaya Complex
Sayıt, Kaan; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2011-08-10)
A chert-pelagic carbonate formation within the mass flow deposits of the Palaeotethyan Karakaya Complex (melange) in Ankara has yielded poorly preserved radiolaria. The critical fauna: Paronaella claviformis (Kozur and Mostler), Canoptum cucurbita (Sugiyama), Canoptum inornatum Tekin and Canoptum levis Tekin is the late Early Carnian to the early Middle Carnian in age, corresponding to "unnamed radiolarian Zone" and "Tetraporobrachia haeckeli Zone" and partly to Capnuchosphera Lowest-Occurrence Zone. This i...
Direct Methane Oxidation to Methanol by N2O on Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 Clusters with and without Water: A Density Functional Theory Study
Fellah, Mehmet Ferdi; Önal, Işık (2010-02-25)
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried Out ill a Study of oxidation of methane to methanol by N2O on the Fe- and Co-ZSM-5 clusters. The catalytic cycle steps have been Studied oil model Clusters ((SiH3)(4)AlO4M) (where M = Fe, Co). Calculations indicate very low methanol selectivity Without water and increasing rate of methanol formation with water. These results are in qualitative agreement with the experimental literature. The methanol formation step is also found to be the rate-limitin...
Thermal decomposition of glycidyl azide polymer by direct insertion probe mass spectrometry
Fazlioǧlu, Hatice; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2002-01-01)
Thermal decomposition reactions and products of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP), have been investigated by direct insertion mass spectrometry and evolved gas analyses by FTIR spectroscopy techniques. It has been observed that thermal degradation of GAP begins with cleavage of the side groups. Although the main decomposition started with the elimination of molecular nitrogen from the azide functional group, degradation initiated by loss of N-3 and CH2N3, depolymerization type reactions were also identified. Rea...
Environmental isotopes and noble gases in the deep aquifer system of Kazan Trona Ore Field, Ankara, central Turkey and links to paleoclimate
ARSLAN, Sebnem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Stute, Martin; Schlosser, Peter (2013-03-01)
Environmental isotopes and noble gases in groundwater samples from the Kazan Trona Ore Field are studied to establish the temperature change between the Holocene and the late Pleistocene. Noble gas temperatures (NGTs) presented in this study add an important facet to the global paleotemperature map in the region between Europe and North Africa. The groundwater system under investigation consists of three different aquifers named shallow, middle and deep in which delta O-18 and delta H-2 vary from -8.10 part...
