This study examines the factors affecting the possibility of owning a house in Turkey using probit models. Moreover, it focuses on the heteroscedasticity problem that is ignored in most of the probit applications. The results obtained from the study indicate that besides the demographic characteristics of the head of the household, education, employment, and income are also influential factors in regard to home ownership. Besides these things, evidence indicates that the choice to live in either rural or urban areas has a significant impact on home ownership.

Previous studies in our lab and elsewhere showed that different microbial gene groups are obtained from geographically distant sites. Alkane monooxygenases activate terminal carbon-carbon bonds in the first step of alkane degradation with the addition of an oxygen to the compound, resulting in an alcohol product. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that unique microbial populations and alkane monooxygenase (alkB and Cytochrome P450) genes can be recovered from geographically distinct sites, with varying degrees of anthropogenic impact. Sediment was collected from six river and stream sites with various levels of human i . . .mpact located in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan as well as Dushanbe and Khorog, Tajikistan, in Central Asia. The sites included rural and mountain streams, as well as rivers near or in cities. All sediments were enriched in media containing hexadecane as a carbon source and subcultured into fresh media with the alkane two times. DNA was extracted from each enrichment culture at various points throughout the enrichment for 16S rRNA and alkB clone library construction. The enrichment cultures were also analyzed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) analysis of both 16S rRNA and alkB genes. The alkB and P450 genes, as well as 16S rRNA, were targeted with 454 pyrosequencing to obtain an estimate of microbial and alkane hydroxylase diversity at the sample locations and enrichments. The data show that distinct populations of alkB and P450 genes can be enriched from different locations and countries in Central Asia confirming that there is a wide diversity of alkane degrading genes in the environment More less

The aim of this study is to search some mechanical features of polypropylene fibre mixed adobe. As fibre additive polypropylene, in proportions of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, soil with 26% clay and 7 kg straw per cubic meter were mixed and mixture with adobe was prepared. As a result the compressive strengths of the polypropylene fibre mixed samples were determined as 40 kgf/cýrf in %0, 26.55 kgf/cm in 5%, 31.62 kgf/cm2 in 10%,37.35 kgf/cm2 in 15%; tensile strengths as 13.76 kgf/cm2 in 0%, 45.80 kgf/cm2 in 5%, 46.90 kgf/cm2 in 10%, 47.20 kgf/cm2 in 15%; heat conduction values as 0.58 kcal/mh°c in 0%, 0.56 kcal/mh°c in 5%, 0.53 kcal/mh°c in 10 . . .%, 0.52 kcal/mh°c in 15%. As it is understood from the results, it is seen that the polypropylene fibre increases the compressive and tensile strength of the adobe and does not change the heat conduction values. © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2012 More less

This study reports the electrochemical modification of glassy carbon (GC) surface with etodolac (ETO), the characterization of this ETO modified glassy carbon (ETO/GC) electrode and its electroanalytical application for the determination of Pb(II) ions. Binding type of the etodolac with the glassy carbon surface was investigated and found that it was through the etheric linkage revealed from the reflection–absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS). The ETO/GC electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), reflection–adsorption IR spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XP . . .S) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The ETO/GC electrode was found to be suitable for selective determination of Pb(II) by adsorptive stripping voltammetry in the solutions of the mixture of heavy metal ions, such as Cu(II) and Cd(II) and showed high stability and reproducibility. The stability and the potential range of the ETO/GC electrode were also studied. The developed method was validated according to the ICH guideline and found to be linear, sensitive, selective, precise and accurate. The linearity range of Pb(II) was 5.0 × 10−10 to 1.0 × 10−8 M with the detection limit (S/N = 3) of 1.67 × 10−10 M. The validated method was applied successfully for the determination of Pb(II) in real samples. - Keywords: Etodolac; Characterization; Glassy carbon electrode; Electrochemical sensor; Pb(II) ion detection; Adsorptive stripping voltammetr More less
