The rapid progress which has been made in the last few years in the knowledge of the rotational, vibrational, and electronic energy of molecules has extended the range of chemical investigation, particularly in the region of chemical kinetics. This knowledge is derived chiefly from the study and interpretation of band spectra, and one of the most obvious cases to examine is that of “active” nitrogen which emits a characteristic spectrum and is capable of energetic chemical reaction with a wide range of substances. For most of the early work, including spectroscopic observations, we are indebted to the excellent and thorough investigations of Strutt.

There are two long-standing problems in nebular astrophysics: a) The dichotomy of abundance determinations whereby heavy element abundances relative to hydrogen from collisionally excited lines (CELs) are systematically lower than those from (much fainter) optical recombination lines (ORLs), a discrepancy that can be traced back to Wyse (1942) and Aller & Menzel (1945) who pioneered the ORL method; and b) The dichotomy of temperature determinations whereby Te derived from the collisionally excited [O III] forbidden line ratio is systematically higher than that derived from Balmer jump of the H I recombination spectrum, a discrepancy first discovered by Peimbert (1971) and attributed to temperature fluctuations in the nebula (Peimbert 1967). Thanks to the rapid progress in detector technology and recombination theory for multi-electron systems, significant progress has been made in recent years in our understanding of these two fundamental problems, which could potentially affect the derivation of abundances for a wide range of photoionized nebulae, both galactic and extragalactic. Both types of dichotomy are found to be real and are most likely caused by astrophysical effects rather than uncertainties in observations or in the basic atomic physics. The two problems are shown to be related and can be explained by assuming that PNe contain a small mass of extremely cold (Te ~ 103 K) inclusions, highly enriched in helium and heavy elements, embedded in diffuse material of “normal” abundances (~ solar) and temperature (Te ~ 104 K). The existence and nature of such H-deficient inclusions in PNe remains a mystery. A recent review on this subject is given by Liu (2002).

AbstractThe rate-controlled constrained-equilibrium (RCCE) method is employed to study the interactions between mixing and chemical reaction. Considering that mixing can influence the RCCE state, the key objective is to assess the accuracy and numerical performance of the method in simulations involving both reaction and mixing. The RCCE formulation includes rate equations for constraint potentials, density and temperature, which allows taking account of mixing alongside chemical reaction without splitting. The RCCE is a dimension reduction method for chemical kinetics based on thermodynamics laws. It describes the time evolution of reacting systems using a series of constrained-equilibrium states determined by RCCE constraints. The full chemical composition at each state is obtained by maximizing the entropy subject to the instantaneous values of the constraints. The RCCE is applied to a spatially homogeneous constant pressure partially stirred reactor (PaSR) involving methane combustion in oxygen. Simulations are carried out over a wide range of initial temperatures and equivalence ratios. The chemical kinetics, comprised of 29 species and 133 reaction steps, is represented by 12 RCCE constraints. The RCCE predictions are compared with those obtained by direct integration of the same kinetics, termed detailed kinetics model (DKM). The RCCE shows accurate prediction of combustion in PaSR with different mixing intensities. The method also demonstrates reduced numerical stiffness and overall computational cost compared to DKM.

In this article we shall present a summary of the various stochastic approaches and applications to chemical reaction kinetics, but before discussing these we first briefly introduce the basic ideas and definitions of classical or deterministic chemical kinetics. One of the basic questions to which chemists address themselves is the rate of chemical reactions, or in other words, how long it takes for a chemical reaction to attain completion, or equilibrium. Apparently the first significant quantitative investigation was made in 1850 by L. Wilhelmy [93]. He studied the inversion of sucrose (cane sugar) in aqueous solutions of acids, whose reaction is He found empirically that the rate of decrease of concentration of sucrose was simply proportional to the concentration remaining unconverted, i.e., if S(t) is the concentration of sucrose, then The constant of proportionality is called the rate constant of the reaction. If So is the initial concentration of sucrose, then Since then an enormous number of reactions has been studied and the field of chemical kinetics is now one of the largest areas of chemical research. The importance of the field lies in the fact that it yields concise expressions for the time dependence of reactions, predicts yields, optimum economic conditions, and gives one much insight into the actual molecular processes involved. The detailed molecular picture of a reaction process is called the mechanism of the reaction.

The discovery of this phenomenon seems to have evolved gradually from Earhart's* experiments on very short sparks in 1901. Since 1913 I have been familiar with the fact that in strong fields cold discharges could be made to pass in highly exhausted tubes under conditions which seemed to preclude the co-operation of gas as a factor. The phenomena appeared erratic and difficult to interpret. Recently, rapid progress has been made in the investigation of this effect especially owing to the researches of Gossling and of Millikan and Eyring, which have put it on a firm basis. Both Gossling and Millikan and Eyring have found, among other interesting facts, that with field strengths of the order of one million volts per cm. electrons can be drawn out of tungsten without the co-operation of gas, that the currents vary very rapidly with the applied voltage, and under proper conditions the current is reproducible and a continuous function of the applied voltage over a wide range, and that the currents at a given voltage are independent of the temperature provided the temperature is not so high as to approach the temperatures at which thermionic emission becomes appreciable.

1989 göçü öncesi, dünyada eşzamanlı olarak gittikçe gelişen ve zenginleşen mutfak kültürü, Bulgaristan Türklerini de etkilemiştir. Pazardaki çeşitlilik arttıkça, yemek alışkanlıkları da değişime uğramıştır. Büyük göçten sadece 30-40 sene evvel kısıtlı imkânlar ile sınırlı sayıda yemek çeşidi üretilirken, alım gücünün artmasıyla yemek kültüründe de hızlı gelişmeler olmuştur. Artan ürün çeşitliliği yemeklere de yansımış, farklı lezzetler mutfaklara girmiştir. Göçmen yemekleri denilince hamur işleri, börek ve pideler akla gelir. Ayrıca, göçmenlerin çok zengin turşu, komposto ve konserve kültürüne sahip oldukları da bilinir. Bu çalışma, 1989 öncesi Bulgaristan’ın farklı bölgelerinde yaşayan Türklerin yemek alışkanlıklarına ışık tutmakla birlikte, göç sonrasında göçmen mutfak kültüründe bir değişiklik oluşup oluşmadığını konu almaktadır. Bu amaçla, 1989 yılında Türkiye’ye göç etmiş 50 kişiye 8 sorudan oluşan anket düzenlenmiştir. Bu verilerden yola çıkarak oluşan bulgular derlenmiş ve yeni tespitler yapılmıştır. Ayrıca, Türkiye’nin farklı bölgelerine yerleşen göçmenler, kendi göçmen pazarlarını kurmuşlardır. Bulgaristan’dan getirilen ürünlerin bu pazarlarda satılması böyle bir arz talebin hala devam ettiğine işaret etmektedir.ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHThe Diversity in Cuisine Culture of the Immigrants from Bulgaria After 1989 MigrationThe Cuisine culture that has been developing and getting rich day by day contemporaneously in the world before 1989 migration has also had an impact on Bulgarian Turks. By the increase in diversity in the market, eating habits have changed. While producing a limited number of food types with limited opportunities just some 30 or 40 years before the ‘Big Migration’, there has been a rapid progress in food culture by the help of the increase in purchase power. Enhancing product range has been reflected in food, and different tastes have entered the cuisines. When we say immigrant, the first things that come to our mind are pastry, flan and pitta bread. Moreover, it is also known that immigrants have a very rich cuisine culture of pickle, stewed fruit, and canned food. This study aims both to disclose the eating habits of Turks living in different regions of Bulgaria before 1989 and to determine whether there has been a difference in immigrant cuisine culture before and after the migration. For this purpose, a questionnaire consisting of 8 questions has been administered to 50 people who migrated to Turkey in 1989. The results gathered from these data have been compiled and new determinations have been made. In addition, immigrants that settled in different regions of Turkey have set their own immigrant markets. The fact that the products brought from Bulgaria are being sold in these markets shows that this kind of supply and demand still continues.

Background:A lot of advancement has been made in the area of β-lactams in recent times. Most of the research is targeted towards the synthesis of novel β-lactams, their functionalization and exploring their biological potential. The C-3 functionalization of β-lactams has continued to attract considerable interest of the scientific community due to their utility as versatile intermediates in organic synthesis and their therapeutic applications. This has led to the significant increase in efforts towards developing efficient and economic strategies for C-3 functionalized β-lactams.Objective:The present review aims to highlight recent advancement made in C-3 functionalization of β-lactams.Conclusion:To summarize, functionalization of β-lactams at C-3 is an essential aspect of β-lactam chemistry in order to improve/modify its synthetic utility as well as biological potential. The C-3 carbocation equivalent method has emerged as an important and convenient strategy for C-3 functionalization of β-lactam heterocycles which provides a wide range of β-lactams viz. 3-alkylated β-lactams, 3-aryl/heteroarylated β-lactams, 3- alkoxylated β-lactams. On the other hand, base mediated functionalization of β-lactams via carbanion intermediate is another useful approach but their scope is limited by the requirement of stringent reaction conditions. In addition to this, organometallic reagent mediated α-alkylation of 3-halo/3-keto-β-lactams also emerged as interesting methods for the synthesis of functionalized β-lactams having good yields and diastereoselectivities.

The system of bands in the visible region of the emission spectrum of magnesium hydride is now well known. The bands with heads at λλ 5622, 5211, 4845 were first measured by Prof. A. Fowler, who arranged many of the strongest lines in empirical series for identification with absorption lines in the spectra of sun-spots. Later, Heurlinger rearranged these series in the now familiar form of P, Q and R branches, and considered them, with the OH group, as typical of doublet systems in his classification of the fine structure of bands. More recently, W. W. Watson and P. Rudnick have remeasured these bands, using the second order of a 21-foot concave grating, and have carried out a further investigation of the fine structure in the light of the present theory of band spectra. Their detection of an isotope effect of the right order of magnitude, considered with the general structure of the system, and the experimental work on the production of the spectrum, seems conclusive in assigning these bands to the diatomic molecule MgH. The ultra-violet spectrum of magnesium hydride is not so well known. The band at λ 2430 and the series of double lines in the region λ 2940 to λ 3100, which were recorded by Prof. Fowler in 1909 as accompanying the group of bands in the visible region, appear to have undergone no further investigation. In view of the important part played by hydride band spectra in the correlation of molecular and atomic electronic energy levels, it was thought that a study of these features might prove of interest in yielding further information on the energy states of the MgH molecule. The present paper deals with observations on the band at λ 2430; details of an investigation of the other features of the ultra-violet spectrum will be given in a later communication.

Abstract Background: All states require some kind of testing for newborns, but the policies are far from standardized. In some states, newborn screening may include genetic tests for a wide range of targets, but the costs and complexities of the newer genetic tests inhibit expansion of newborn screening. We describe the development and technical evaluation of a multiplex platform that may foster increased newborn genetic screening. Methods: MultiCode® PLx involves three major steps: PCR, target-specific extension, and liquid chip decoding. Each step is performed in the same reaction vessel, and the test is completed in ∼3 h. For site-specific labeling and room-temperature decoding, we use an additional base pair constructed from isoguanosine and isocytidine. We used the method to test for mutations within the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The developed test was performed manually and by automated liquid handling. Initially, 225 samples with a range of genotypes were tested retrospectively with the method. A prospective study used samples from >400 newborns. Results: In the retrospective study, 99.1% of samples were correctly genotyped with no incorrect calls made. In the perspective study, 95% of the samples were correctly genotyped for all targets, and there were no incorrect calls. Conclusions: The unique genetic multiplexing platform was successfully able to test for 31 targets within the CFTR gene and provides accurate genotype assignments in a clinical setting.

Right from the early days of the process industries, continuous efforts have been made to develop and improve measures for prevention and mitigation of dust explosions in these industries. Nevertheless this hazard continues to threaten industries that manufacture, use and/or handle powders and dusts of a wide range of combustible materials. To improve methods for predicting explosion development in real industrial plant has been one major challenge. Hence, during the last years comprehensive numerical simulation codes, for addressing this problem, have been developed. Progress has also been made in other areas, for example, ignition source prevention. The importance of adopting inherently safer process design, by building on firm knowledge in powder science and technology, and of systematic education/training of personnel, is also emphasized.
