intellectual comments and tough questions but fair that led to the improvement of this thesis. Finally, and most importantly, I would like to thank my parents for their faith in me and allowing me to be as ambitious as I wanted. It was under their watchful eyes that I gained so much drive and ability to tackle challenges head on. In January 2013, I lost my darling mother to stroke. I was always...

We study the charge-density dynamics within the two-dimensional extended Hubbard model in the presence of long-range Coulomb interaction across the metal-insulator transition point. To take into account strong correlations we start from self-consistent extended dynamical mean-field theory and include nonlocal dynamical vertex corrections through a ladder approximation to the polarization operat...

The effect that polymer molecular weight has on the dispersion of relatively polar montmorillonite (MMT) in nonpolar, unmodified high density polyethylene (HDPE) was examined. Polymer layered silicate (PLS) nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding in a single screw extruder using three unmodified HDPE matrices of differing molecular weight and organically modified MMT (organoclay) in c...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) molecular weights (6000, 12000 and 20000) as solid dispersion (SD) carriers on the dissolution behavior of simvastatin. SDs with various drug : carrier ratios were prepared by solvent method and evaluated for dissolution rate. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spe...

The detection thresholds of odor substances analyzed in field investigations were measured by the triangular odor bag method. The number of substances used for the experiment is 223. The experiment was carried out from 1976 to 1988. As the results of the experiments, the odor thresholds were distributed over the concentration of large range depending on the odor substances. Isoamyl mercaptane e...

thalassemia major patients require repeated transfusions of packed cell and their lysis lead to iron deposition especially in the cardiac walls such as septum and posterior wall, so make thickening and cause cardiac disorders. in this case-control study, our object was to appoint if qt and qtc and te dispersions were predictors of cardiac disorders in thalassemia major patients or not. 34 thala...

The application of cellulose acetate (CA) in various industrial areas is strongly influenced by thermal stability. Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) as a highly conductive filler promising choice to modify the stability CA, while practical effect falls short expectations associated with promise individually dispersed graphene owing poor dispersion. Supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO 2 ) favorable ...
