    A class of Banach algebras whose duals have the Schur property
    (TÜBİTAK, 1999) Mustafayev, H.; Department of Mathematics; Ülger, Ali; Faculty Member; Department of Mathematics; College of Sciences
    Call a commutative Banach algebra A a γ-algebra if it contains a bounded group Λ such that aco(Λ) contains a multiple of the unit ball of A. In this paper, first by exhibiting several concrete examples, we show that the class of γ-algebras is quite rich. Then, for a γ-algebra A, we prove that A* has the Schur property iff the Gelfand spectrum Σ of A is scattered iff A* = ap(A) iff A* = Span(Σ).

    A two-dimensional Monte Carlo polymerization of 5-membered rings
    (Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 1997) Esentürk, O.; Pamuk, H. A.; Department of Chemistry; Yurtsever, İsmail Ersin; Faculty Member; Department of Chemistry; College of Sciences; 7129
    A modification of the kinetic growth model in two dimensions for the polymerization of 5-membered rings is presented. The preliminary results reveal the validity of the modified model.

    Dimerization of pyrrole
    (TÜBİTAK, 1998) Yurtsever, Mine; Department of Chemistry; Yurtsever, İsmail Ersin; Faculty Member; Department of Chemistry; College of Sciences; 7129
    Accurate ab-inito quantum mechanical calculations of pyrrole dimers are reported. The thermodynamical stabilities of dimers with alpha - alpha, alpha -beta, and beta - beta type linkages are compared in order to predict the possibilities of branching in polypyrroles. Calculations employing large basis sets and including electron correlation effects predict the alpha - alpha dimers as the most stable form. However, an alpha - beta type bonding requires only 1.5-2.0 kcal/mol, and the energy necessary to introduce a beta - beta type bond is 3.6-4.0 kcal/mol. These values show that a high degree of branching is possible even at room temperatures.

    Dissociation dynamics of small carbon clusters
    (Scientific Technical Research Council Turkey, 1997) Elmacı, Nuran; Department of Chemistry; Yurtsever, İsmail Ersin; Faculty Member; Department of Chemistry; College of Sciences; 7129
    The dissociation dynamics of small carbon clusters is studied by classical trajectory analysis. A large number of initial conditions are chosen to analyze the effects of the energy, angular momentum and the initial geometry of the cluster. The dissociation times, decay rate constants, kinetic energy of the dissociating atoms and the geometrical structure of the remaining part of the clusters are computed from microcanonical sampling of the phase space. Distributions of these properties as well as the possibilities of various fragmentation channels are presented.

    Thermal stabilities of hydroxyalkyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomers
    (TÜBİTAK, 1997) Department of Chemistry; Yılgör, Emel; Yılgör, İskender; Researcher; Faculty Member; Department of Chemistry; College of Sciences; 40527; 24181
    The thermal stabilities of alpha,omega-hydroxypropyl, alpha,omega-hydroxybutyl alpha,omega-2-hydroxypentyl and alpha,omega-hydroxyhexyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomers were investigated. Hydroxypropyl and hydroxybutyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomers showed degradation upon heating through the loss of functional end groups, as determined by FTIR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. alpha,omega-Hydroxyhexyl and alpha,omega-2-hydroxypentyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane oligomers were stable under similar conditions. The instability of the end groups is due to the backbiting of the terminal silicon in the PDMS by the primary hydroxyl oxygen, leading to the formation of 5- and 6-membered stable, heterocylic compounds. Loss of end groups also resulted in a dramatic increase in the molecular weights of the oligomers produced, as determined by GPC.
