Det må ikke kopieres fra denne bok i strid med lover eller avtaler. Omslag og omslagsfoto: Bjørn Pedersen Henvendelser om heftet kan rettes til forfatteren: [email protected] Trykk: Reprosentralen Forsidebilde viser øverst Frederiksgate 3 – Domus Chemica fra 1875 til 1934. Nederst til høyre et utsnitt av maleriet av Peter Waage malt av Bjarne Falk i 1907 etter fotografiet på side 61. Maleriet henger i møterom VU 24 på Kjemisk instituttet. Seglet er tatt fra Forelesningskatalogen fra vårsemesteret 1920. Figuren er av den greske guden Apollon – en mann selv om figuren ikke ser slik ut. Et slikt segl har vært i bruk som universitetets lakkstempel i så lenge universitetet het Det kongelige Frederiks universitet (Universitatis Regia Fredericiana) fra 1814 til 1938. (Tove Nielsen: Nei dessverre ... Apollon 7 (2000).) Forord Peter Waage er den mest berømte norske kjemiker på 1800-tallet. Takket være massevirkningsloven lever hans navn videre i kjemibøker over hele verden. Han kom fra Hidra - en liten øy mellom Øst- og Vestlandet som den gang, da trafikken gikk lettere til sjøs enn på land, var mer internasjonal enn Christiania. Hva slags mann var han? Hva er egentlig massevirkningsloven? Hva gjorde han ellers? Kjemien hadde sin storhetstid på 1800-tallet. Da fikk kjemien sitt eget språk hvor de kjemiske symbolene for grunnstoffene var bokstavene, formlene var ordene og reaksjonsligningene var setningene. Analysemetodene ble forbedret og mange nye stoffer ble fremstilt.

(Thesis Supervisor) Prof. Fikret Gürgen ................................. Assoc.Prof. Nafiz Arıca ........................... DATE OF APPROVAL: 01.06.2016 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To my family and professors. I would like to thank to my past professors, Prof. Christian Omlin, Assoc. Prof. Tolga Can and Prof. Athanasios Vasilakos for their encouragement to pursue graduate studies. I am grateful to my advisor Prof. Tunga Güngör for his guidance and encouragement during my studies at Boğaziçi. Without his help, it would have been impossible to deepen my knowledge on natural language processing and finish my thesis. I thank to Prof. Mehmet Ufuk Çağlayan for his encouragement to set this thesis topic, which I started to work on during my term project. I also thank to my yoga teacher, Yogacharya, for his teachings on yoga. Without the techniques of yoga, it would not have been easy to focus on my work. Lastly, I would like to thank my grandfather, who was my first teacher, teaching me to study in a planned way. I thank to my family members, my father, my mom and brother for their unconditional love and support. iv ABSTRACT A RULE-BASED APPROACH FOR CONVERTING WIKIPEDIA CONTENT INTO SEMANTIC RELATIONS In this thesis, we propose a method for conversion from natural language into semantic relations.

  • Chemical Kinetics and the Origins of Physical Chemistry
    Chemical Kinetics and the Origins of Physical Chemistry KEITH J. LAIDLER Communicated by S. FLi3GGE Physical chemistry is commonly said to have become established as a recog- nized field of science in the eighteen-eighties. The year 1887 was indeed of special significance, for it was then that the Zeitschriftfiir physikalische Chemie was found- ed by OSTWALD and VAN'T HOFF, that ARRnENIUS published his famous theory of electrolytic dissociation, 1 that OSTWALD was appointed professor of physical chemistry at the University of Leipzig, and that the second and final volume of OSTWALD'S Lehrbuch der allgemeinen Chemie 2 was published. It is true that OSTWALD was the second occupant of the chair of physical chemistry at Leipzig, the first having been the physicist F. W~EDEMANN who had assumed the position in 1871. It is also the case that the expression 'physical chemistry' had been used as early as the eighteenth century 3. Work in the field prior to 1880 was, however, spasmodic; it was only during that decade that the subject gained momentum and became noticed by workers in other branches of science. There have been several accounts of the early years of physical chemistry, notably those of ROOT-BERNSTEIN4 and of HIEBERT5. These have emphasized in S. ARRHENmS, Z. physik. Chem., 1, 631-648 (1887). 2 W. OSTWALD, Lehrbuch der allgemeinen Chemie, Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft, Leipzig, 2 vols., 1885-1887. A second and greatly enlarged edition of this, in 2 vols. and 3 parts, but never completed, was published between 1891 to 1902. This work was commonly known as "der grosse OSTWALD", to distinguish it from "der kleine OST- WALD" (Ref.
