    Monovalent and divalent cation effects on phase transitions of iota-carrageenan
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2007-01) Kara, Selim; Arda, Ertan; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    Phase transitions Of L-carrageenan in a variety of monovalent (Li, Na, K) and divalent (Mg, Ca, Sr) cation solutions were studied during heating and cooling by using photon transmission technique. Photon transmission intensity (I-tr) was monitored against temperature to determine the transition temperatures and activation energies during the heating and cooling processes in the monovalent and divalent systems. Three distinct transition regions were observed during the heating and cooling cycles for the carrageenan-divalent salt system. At the first step of the heating process, dimer groups were transformed into dimers that presented (g-d) transitions, then these dimers were directly converted into a double helix by undergoing a (d-h) transition. In the higher temperature region, a double helix-to-coil (h-c) transition took place. During the cooling process, these transitions are arranged in the order of (c-h), (h-d), and (d-g). The carrageenan-monovalent salt system presented only coil-to-rod-like helix (c-r) and rod-like helix-to-coil (r-c) transitions during the cooling and heating processes, respectively. A hysteresis was observed between (r-c)-(c-r) and (g-d)-(d-g) transitions for the monovalent and divalent cations, respectively.

    Study on critical behaviour in N-isopropyl acrylamide gels by using fluorescence technique
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2006-11) Kaya Aktaş, Demet; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    The steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique was used to study the sol-gel transition for the solution free radical crosslinking copolymerization of N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPA), with N,N'-methylenebis (acrylamide) (BIS) as crosslinker in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator. Pyranine (8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid, trisodium salt, HPTS) was used as a floroprobe for monitoring the polymerization. Pyranine molecules start to bind to NIPA polymer chains upon the initiation of the polymerization, thus the spectra of the bonded pyranines shift to the shorter wavelengths. The get fraction exponent beta and the weight average degree of polymerization exponent gamma' agree best with the mean-field (Flory-Stockmayer) results near the gel point for various crosslinker contents.

    Monitoring of a laboratory-scale inland-delta formation using a structured-light system
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2016-06) Akça, Mehmet Devrim; Seybold, Hansjörg J.
    A reduced complexity model, which simulates the process of fluvial inland-delta formation, has been developed in a previous study. The results have been compared and validated with a laboratory experiment. This work elaborates the laboratory investigation in which an experimental inland delta is generated and its eroding topography is measured using a structured-light 3D scanner. The least squares 3D (LS3D) co-registration and comparison method is used for alignment as well as for comparing data epochs both spatially and temporally. A spatial precision value of around ±50 ?m (1/20 000) is achieved. A series of high-quality digital elevation models (DEMs) are generated and the space-time evolution of the inland delta is monitored and analysed, in terms of slope and topography dynamics, in the consecutive DEM layers. The combination of high-resolution scanning together with high-precision co-registration techniques allows investigation of the details of the space-time variability of the sedimentation-deposition patterns to be used for geomorphological analysis.

    Molecular recognition during sol-gel and gel-sol transition of kappa-iota carrageenan mixtures
    (Taylor & Francis ltd, 2005-12) Kara, Selim; Arda, Ertan; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    Sol-gel and gel-sol phase transitions of kappa-iota (kappa-iota) carrageenan mixtures in two types of salts were studied using photon transmission technique. Here, KCl and CaCl2 were chosen as the proper salts for the carrageenan mixtures. Coil-to-double helix (c-h) and double helix-to-dimer (h-d) phase transitions of carrageenan mixtures in monovalent and bivalent cation solutions were studied upon heating and cooling by using photon transmission technique. Photon transmission intensity, It, was monitored against temperature to determine the (c-h) and (h-d) transition temperatures (T-ch and T-nd). Two distinct transition regions were observed in both heating and cooling of the carrageenan-bivatent CaCl2 salt system. At the first step of heating process dimers decompose into double helices by making (d-h) transition. At the high temperature region (h-c) transition takes place. Carrageenan-monovalent KCl salt system presented only (c-h) and (h-c) transitions upon cooling and heating processes. Transition temperatures at the heating and cooling processes were obtained. A hysteresis was observed between (h-c)-(c-h) and (d-h)-(h-d) transitions for the monovalent and bivalent cations respectively.

    Cation effects on phase transition of kappa-iota-carrageenan hybrids: a photon transmission study
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2007) Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Kara, Selim; Arda, Ertan
    Phase transitions of kappa-iota-carrageenan hybrid in various types of salts were studied using photon transmission technique: NaCl, KCI, MgCl2, CaCl2 and KCl+CaCl2 were chosen as the salt solutions for the carrageenan hybrid. Coil-to-helix (c-h), helix-to-dimer (h-d) and back to helix-to-coil (h-c), dimer-to-helix (d-h) phase transitions of carrageenan hybrid in these mono- and bivalent cation solutions were studied upon cooling and heating, respectively. Photon transmission intensity, It, was monitored against temperature to determine the (c-h), (h-d) and (h-c), (d-h) transition temperatures (T-ch, T-hd and T-hc, T-dh) and activation energies (Delta E-ch, Delta E-hd and Delta E-hc, Delta E-dh) of carrageenan hybrids. Two distinct transition regions were observed both during heating and cooling of the carrageenan-bivalent salt systems. During the heating process, at first dimers decompose into helices by making a (d-h) transition. Then at the high temperature region, a (h-c) transition takes place. During cooling, back transitions repeat themselves. However, the carrageenan-monovalent salt system presented only (c-h) and (h-c) transitions during the cooling and heating processes, respectively. A hysteresis was observed between (h-c)-(c-h) and (d-h)-(h-d) transitions for the monovalent and bivalent cation systems respectively.

    Freezing optical rogue waves by Zeno dynamics
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2018-04-15) Bayındır, Cihan; Özaydın, Fatih
    We investigate the Zeno dynamics of the optical rogue waves. Considering their usage in modeling rogue wave dynamics, we analyze the Zeno dynamics of the Akhmediev breathers, Peregrine and Akhmediev-Peregrine soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We show that frequent measurements of the wave inhibits its movement in the observation domain for each of these solutions. We analyze the spectra of the rogue waves under Zeno dynamics. We also analyze the effect of observation frequency on the rogue wave profile and on the probability of lingering of the wave in the observation domain. Our results can find potential applications in optics including nonlinear phenomena.
