Öğe Assessment of natural radiation exposure levels and mass attenuation coefficients of lime and gypsum samples used in Turkey(Springer Nature, 2009-11-17) Damla, Nevzat; Çevik, Uğur; Kobya, Ali İhsan; Çelik, Ahmet; Çelik, NecatiThe activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K in lime and gypsum samples used as building materials in Turkey were measured using gamma spectrometry. The mean activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K were found to be 38 ± 16, 20 ± 9, and 156 ± 54 Bq kg − 1 for lime and found to be 17 ± 6, 13 ± 5, and 429 ± 24 Bq kg − 1 for gypsum, respectively. The radiological hazards due to the natural radioactivity in the samples were inferred from calculations of radium equivalent activities (Raeq), indoor absorbed dose rate in the air, the annual effective dose, and gamma and alpha indices. These radiological parameters were evaluated and compared with the internationally recommended limits. The experimental mass attenuation coefficients (μ/ρ) of the samples were determined in the energy range 81–1,332 keV. The experimental mass attenuation coefficients were compared with theoretical values obtained using XCOM. It is found that the calculated values and the experimental results are in good agreement.Öğe A detailed biological and chemical investigation of 16 Achillea species’ essential oilsvia chemometric approach(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-01-30) Yener, İsmail; Yılmaz, Mustafa Abdullah; Tokul Ölmez, Özge; Akdeniz, Mehmet; Tekin, Fetullah; Haşimi, Nesrin; Alkan, Mehmet Hüseyin; Öztürk, Mehmet; Ertaş, AbdulselamRepresentatives of the Achillea genus are widely used as foods or nutraceuticals. Considering the increasing demand for herbal dietary supplements with health promoting effects, the objective of this research was to evaluate the chemical composition and biological activities of the essential oils obtained from sixteen Achillea species ( A. biebersteinii, A. wilhelmsii subsp. wilhelmsii, A.aleppica subsp. zederbaveri, A. vermicularis, A. monocephala, A. nobilis, A. goniocephala , A. sintenisii , A. coarctata, A. kotschyi subsp. kotschyi, A. millefolium subsp. millefolium, A. lycaonica, A. spinulifolia, A. teretifolia, A. setacea, and A. schischkinii ). Anticholinesterase, antiurease, antityrosinase enzymes inhibition, antioxidant, antimicrobial, toxic and cytotoxic activities of obtained essential oils were investigated. DPPH activities were found to be very low in all studied samples, while ABTS and CUPRAC antioxidant activities were found to be moderate. In addition, all samples were found to have moderate anticholinesterase and antimicrobial effects. It has been determined that the studied species have low cytotoxicity and high toxicity. Besides, chemical composition of the essential oils were determined by GC-MS and the results were chemometrically analyzed. The chemometric analyses of Achillea species collected from 9 different regions were accomplished by principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) techniques. According to the PCA analysis, A. nobilis subsp. neilreichii was found to be different from all studied species in terms of essential oil composition. The major components found in these species were piperitone, camphor, α-terpinene, eucalyptol, artemisia-ketone, endo-borneol, β-eudesmol and verbenol. The fact that, camphor being toxic and found in majority of the studied species, stands out as a remarkable result.
