Adsorption of N-Nitrosodiethylamine and N-Nitrosodimethylamine on Activated Carbon: A Pre-Concentration Procedure for Gas Chromatographic Analysis

In this study, a rapid pre-concentration procedure, which employs powdered activated carbon as a clean-up and pre-concentration material, is described for the gas chromatographic analysis of N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in aqueous solutions. It was found that powdered activated carbon is suitable for the adsorption of volatile N-nitrosamine compounds from aqueous solutions. Adsorption efficiency with spiked beer samples (alcohol content 5% v/v) was found to be 80.5% (NDMA) and 89.4% (NDEA) and recovery of extraction from activated carbon was calculated as 82.1% (NDMA) and 89.7% (NDEA), respectively. The effect of 100µgmL^–1 of tannic acid on the adsorption was also studied, and no significant effect on the adsorption and extraction of volatile N-nitrosamine compounds was found.     

trans‐[1,3‐Bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)imidazolidin‐2‐ylidene]dichlorido(triphenylphosphine‐κP)palladium(II)

The title complex, [PdCl₂(C₂₁H₂₆N₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)], shows slightly distorted square‐planar coordination around the Pd^II metal centre. The Pd—C bond distance between the N‐heterocyclic ligand and the metal atom is 2.028 (5) Å. The dihedral angle between the two trimethylphenyl ring planes is 36.9 (2)°.     

A theoretical and experimental investigation of the source-sample-detector geometry for an annular type radioisotope excited XRF spectrometer

In this study, the dependence of the characteristic X-ray intensities on the counting geometry has been investigated for a radioisotope excited XRF spectrometer. The collimation factor for the source-sample-detector geometry, which was prepared for an annular type¹⁰⁹Cd radioisotope source, has been determined both theoretically and experimentally. The discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental results is discussed in terms of possible sources of errors.     

Energy Momentum of Marder Universe in Teleparallel Gravity

In order to evaluate the energy distribution (due to matter and fields including gravitation) associated with a space-time model of cylindrically-symmetric Marder universe, we consider the Møller, Einstein, Bergmann–Thomson and Landau–Lifshitz energy and momentum definitions in the teleparallel gravity (TG). The energy-momentum distributions are found to be zero. These results are the same as a previous works of Aygün et al., they investigated the same problem in general relativity (GR) by using the Einstein, Møller, Bergmann–Thomson, Landau–Lifshitz (LL), Papapetrou, Qadir–Sharif and Weinberg’s definitions. These results support the viewpoints of Banerjee–Sen, Xulu, Radinschi and Aydo?du–Salt?. Another point is that our study agree with previous works of Cooperstock–Israelit, Rosen, Johri et al. This paper indicates an important point that these energy-momentum definitions agree with each other not only in general relativity but also in teleparallel gravity. It is also independent of the teleparallel dimensionless coupling constants, which means that it is valid not only in the teleparallel equivalent of general relativity, but also in any teleparallel model.

The Decay of Massive Scalar Field in Non-Static Gödel Type Universe with Viscous Fluid and Heat Flow

In this study, we have investigated the dynamics of non-static Gödel type rotating universe with massive scalar field, viscous fluid and heat flow in the presence of cosmological constant. For various cosmic matter forms, the behavior of the cosmological constant (Λ), shear (η) and bulk (ξ) viscosity coefficients and other kinematic quantities have studied in the early universe. We have showed the decay of massive scalar field in the non-static rotating Gödel type universe and we have obtained constant scalar field with and without source density. Also, we have investigated the effects of massive scalar field on the matter density and pressure. From solutions of the field equations, we have a cosmological model with non-zero expansion, shear, heat flux and rotation. Also some physical and geometrical aspects of the model discussed.     

Energy Distributions of the Szekeres Universes in Teleparallel Gravity

In order to evaluate the energy distribution (due to matter and fields including gravitation) associated with a space-time model of Szekeres class I and II metrics, we consider the Einstein, Bergmann–Thomson and Landau–Lifshitz energy definitions in the teleparallel gravity (the tetrad theory of gravitation (TG)). We have found that Einstein and Bergmann–Thomson energy distributions give the same results, Landau–Lifshitz distribution is disagree in TG with these definitions. These results are the same as a previous works of Aygün et al., they investigated the same problem by using Einstein, Bergmann–Thomson, Landau–Lifshitz (LL) and Møller energy-momentum complexes in GR. However, both GR and TG are equivalent theories that is the energy densities are the same using different energy-momentum complexes in both theories. Also, our results are support the Cooperstock’s hypothesis.
