The south-eastern Black Sea is relatively unpolluted and contains polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) only of the order of 1 mu g l(-1). Pelagic and benthic fish were monitored during three successive winters from 1993 to 1996 for PAHs and for DNA adducts, The fish caught (Mugil sp,, Mullus barbatus, Alosa fallax, Merlangius merlangus, Sprattus sprattus and Platichthys flesus) varied annually in length, weight and species composition, Although their livers were oily and contained significant concentrations of PAHs (11-56 mu g g(-1)), P-32-postlabelling relatively low levels of hydrophobic DNA adducts (3-20 per 10(8) nucleotides) in either fish livers or blood. A significant fraction of the DNA adducts in the blood samples, unlike those in the livers, were dephosphorylated by nuclease-P1.

Drift Time Measurement in the ATLAS Liquid Argon Electromagnetic Calorimeter using Cosmic Muons Aad, G.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-12-01) The ionization signals in the liquid argon of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter are studied in detail using cosmic muons. In particular, the drift time of the ionization electrons is measured and used to assess the intrinsic uniformity of the calorimeter gaps and estimate its impact on the constant term of the energy resolution. The drift times of electrons in the cells of the second layer of the calorimeter are uniform at the level of 1.3% in the barrel and 2.8% in the endcaps. This leads to an estimat...
Genetic structure of modern and ancient swordfish populations from coasts of Turkey Yüncü, Eren; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2017) In this study, partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and 8 microsatellite loci of swordfish collected from Northern Levantine Sea and Northern Aegean Sea were analyzed. Also same mtDNA region of ancient swordfish samples unearthed from Yenikapı excavation were sequenced. Obtained sequences were evaluated comparatively with the sequences from Balearic Sea, Ligurian Sea, Ionian Sea and Southern Aegean Sea, available in databases. Analysis of the molecular variance revealed a significant differentiation between We...
Zooplankton of the Black Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean Similarities and dissimilarities Kovalev, Av; Mazzocchı, Mg; Sıokoufrangou, I.; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan (2001-01-01) A synthesis of data on abundance and biomass of zooplankton in the Eastern Mediterranean (EMED) and the Black Sea shows major differences in the composition and structure of pelagic communities in the two basins. Few Mediterranean planktonic animals have invaded in the Black Sea. The great bulk of Black Sea species is represented by coastal inhabitants that spread throughout the whole basin. This process has been called “neritization” of the Black Sea fauna. Peculiarities in zooplankton assemblages of the B...
Distribution of dissolved forms of iron and manganese in the Black Sea YEMENİCİOĞLU, SEMAL; Erdogan, Selahattin; Tuğrul, Süleyman (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01) Dissolved forms of the redox-sensitive elements manganese (Mn-DISS) and iron (Fe(II) and Fe(III)) were measured in the oxic/anoxic transition zone, or suboxic zone, of the Black Sea. An offset was found between dissolved manganese and iron gradients at all stations. In the western cyclonic gyre of the Black Sea, the onset of dissolved Mn (> 0.1 mu M) was located at a density of about sigma(t) = 15.85, where the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) was less than 5 mu M. The onset of dissolved Fe(II) (> 0.0...
Vertical distribution of marine cyanobacteria Synechococcus spp. in the Black, Marmara, Aegean, and eastern Mediterranean seas Uysal, Zahit (2006-01-01) The vertical distributions of the unicellular cyanobacteria Synechococcus were studied in several highly contrasting seas: the Black Sea, Sea of Marmara, Aegean Sea, and Mediterranean Sea. Cell abundances varied significantly on both vertical and horizontal scales in all physically and spatially discrete water masses. Epifluorescence microscope cell counts from all seas clearly showed that majority of the population remains suspended in the surface-mixed layer and decreases gradually towards the base of the...
