On Some Hadamard-Type Inequalıtıes for (r,m) -Convex Functıons

In this paper, we define a new class of convex functions which is called (r,m) - convex functions. We also prove some Hadamard\u27s type inequalities based on this new definition

The possibility of using fluid whey in comminuted meat products: capacity and viscosity of the model emulsions prepared using whey and muscle proteins

The emulsion capacity (EC) of whey and sarcoplasmic proteins were low when they were used alone, but the EC and viscosity (EV) of total meat proteins (TMP) were higher than those values of other proteins investigated, including a combination of whey plus TMP. However, the solubility of the TMP proteins was lower than that of the other proteins investigated, probably due to the differences in the physico-chemical properties of whey and muscle proteins and the buffer used. In general, EC of whey proteins showed a significant alteration when used in combination with muscle proteins, while its solubility was not changed. The present results suggest that it is possible to use fluid whey in emulsion-type meat products and these studies should continue using actual meat emulsion systems. © 1995 Springer-Verlag

Occurrence of black spot disease induced by Posthodiplostomum cuticola (Nordmann, 1832) (Digenea: Diplostomatidae) in endemic and native fish of Turkey: seven new host records

ΔΕΝ ΔΙΑΤΙΘΕΤΑΙ ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗThis study was conducted to determine parasite infection with Posthodiplostomum cuticola in eight fish species collected from five Rivers Basins of Turkey (Aras, Çoruh, Sakarya, Marmara and Susurluk River Basins). Five of eight fish species are endemic to Turkey. The highest values of prevalence and mean intensity (60.87%; 4.86) of cysts with metacercaria of P. cuticola were recorded in Alburnus filippii, a native fish species in Ağıl Creek. At the gross examination numerous black lesions were observed at the skin of the fishes. Microscopically black-spot disease was revealed by melanin pigmentation and atrophy of fish muscles in lesioned areas. Parasites were covered by thing connective tissue capsule. Alburnus escherichii, Alburnus filippii, Capoeta tinca, Chondrostoma angorense, Chondrostoma colchicum, Squalius pursakensis and Squalius turcicus were found as new host records for P. cuticola

Fast computation of the ambiguity function and the Wigner distribution on arbitrary line segments

By using the fractional Fourier transformation of the time-domain signals, closed-form expressions for the projections of their auto or cross ambiguity functions are derived. Based on a similar formulation for the projections of the auto and cross Wigner distributions and the well known two-dimensional (2-D) Fourier transformation relationship between the ambiguity and Wigner domains, closed-form expressions are obtained for the slices of both the Wigner distribution and the ambiguity function. By using discretization of the obtained analytical expressions, efficient algorithms are proposed to compute uniformly spaced samples of the Wigner distribution and the ambiguity function located on arbitrary line segments. With repeated use of the proposed algorithms, samples in the Wigner or ambiguity domains can be computed on non-Cartesian sampling grids, such as polar grids

A new approach to time-frequency localized signal design

A novel approach is presented for the design of signals in Wigner Domain. In this method, the desired signal features in the time-frequency domain are specified in two stages. First the user specifies the spine curve around which the energy of the desired signal is distributed in the time-frequency plane. Then, the user specifies the spread of the desired signal energy around the spine. In addition to this fundamentally new way of defining the time-frequency features of the desired signal, the actual synthesis of the signal is performed in a warped fractional Fourier transform approach [1]. After obtaining the designed signal, it is transformed back to the original time domain providing the final result of the new signal synthesis technique. In contrast to the conventional algorithms, the proposed method provides very good results even if the inner cross-term structure of the desired signal is not specified

High resolution time-frequency analysis by fractional domain warping

A new algorithm is proposed to obtain very high resolution time-frequency analysis of signal components with curved time-frequency supports. The proposed algorithm is based on fractional Fourier domain warping concept introduced in this work. By integrating this warping concept to the recently developed directionally smoothed Wigner distribution algorithm [1], the high performance of that algorithm on linear, chirp-like components is extended to signal components with curved time-frequency supports. The main advantage of the algorithm is its ability to suppress not only the cross-cross terms, but also the auto-cross terms in the Wigner distribution. For a signal with N samples duration, the computational complexity of the algorithm is O(N log N) flops for each computed slice of the new time-frequency distribution

Efficient computation of joint fractional Fourier domain signal representation

A joint fractional domain signal representation is proposed based on an intuitive understanding from a time-frequency distribution of signals that designates the joint time and frequency energy content. The joint fractional signal representation (JFSR) of a signal is so designed that its projections onto the defining joint fractional Fourier domains give the modulus square of the fractional Fourier transform of the signal at the corresponding orders. We derive properties of the JFSR, including its relations to quadratic time-frequency representations and fractional Fourier transformations, which include the oblique projections of the JFSR. We present a fast algorithm to compute radial slices of the JFSR and the results are shown for various signals at different fractionally ordered domains. © 2008 Optical Society of America

Variable coordination of amine functionalised N-heterocyclic carbene ligands to Ru, Rh and Rr: C-H and N-H activation and catalytic transfer hydrogenation

Chelating amine and amido complexes of late transition metals are highly valuable bifunctional catalysts in organic synthesis, but complexes of bidentate amine–NHC and amido–NHC ligands are scarce. Hence, we report the reactions of a secondary-amine functionalised imidazolium salt 2a and a primary-amine functionalised imidazolium salt 2b with [( p -cymene)RuCl 2 ] 2 and [Cp*MCl 2 ] 2 (M = Rh, Ir). Treating 2a with [Cp*MCl 2 ] 2 and NaOAc gave the cyclometallated compounds Cp*M(C,C)I (M = Rh, 3 ;M = Ir, 4 ), resulting from aromatic C–H activation. In contrast, treating 2b with [( p -cymene)RuCl 2 ] 2 ,Ag 2 O and KI gave the amine–NHC complex [( p -cymene)Ru(C,NH 2 )I]I ( 5 ). The reaction of 2b with [Cp*MCl 2 ] 2 (M = Rh, Ir), NaO t Bu and KI gave the amine–NHC complex [Cp*Rh(NH 2 )I]I ( 6 ) or the amido–NHC complex Cp*Ir(C,NH)I ( 7 ); both protonation states of the Ir complex could be accessed: treating 7 with trifluoroacetic acid gave the amine–NHC complex [Cp*Ir(C,NH 2 )I][CF 3 CO 2 ]( 8 ). These are the first primary amine– or amido–NHC complexes of Rh and Ir. Solid-state structures of the complexes 3–8 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 5 , 6 and 7 are pre-catalysts for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol, with ruthenium complex 5 demonstrating especially high reactivity
