Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 44Application of Continuum Damage Mechanics in Discontinuous Crack Formation: Forward Extrusion Chevron(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2008) Soyarslan, Celal; Tekkaya, A. Erman; Akyuz, UgurhanMaterializing Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM), numerical modeling of discrete internal cracks, namely central bursts, in direct forward extrusion process is presented. Accordingly, in a thermodynamically consistent setting, a local Lemaitre variant damage model with quasi-unilateral evolution is coupled with hyperelastic-plasticity. The formulations are constructed in the principal axes where simultaneous local integration schemes are efficiently developed. To this end, the framework is implemented as ABAQUS/VUMAT subroutine to be used in an explicit FE solution scheme, and utilized in direct forward extrusion simulations for bearing steel, 100Cr6. Discontinuous cracks are obtained with the element deletion procedure, where the elements reaching the critical damage value are removed from the mesh. The periodicity of the cracks shows well accordance with the experimental facts. The investigations reveal that, application of the quasi-unilateral conditions together with the crack closure parameter has an indispensable effect on the damage accumulation zones by determining their internal or superficial character.

These rigid complexes have been designed to alter the intrinsic mechanism of action of both the platinum moiety and the Cu(3-Clip-Phen) unit. The platinum centers of two of these complexes are coordinated to a 3-Clip-Phen moiety, an ammine ligand and two chlorides, which are either cis or trans to each other. The third complex comprises two 3-Clip-Phen units and two chloride ligands bound in a trans fashion to the platinum ion. DNA-cleavage experiments show that the complexes are highly efficient nuclease agents. In addition, a markedly difference in their aptitude to perform direct double-strand cleavage is observed, which appears to be strongly related to the ability of the platinum unit to coordinate to DNA. Indeed, complex 6 is unable to coordinate to DNA, which is reflected by its incapability to carry out double-strand breaks. Nonetheless, this complex exhibits efficient DNA-cleavage activity, and its cytotoxicity is high for several cell lines. Complex 6 shows better antiproliferate activity than both cisplatin and Cu(3-Clip-Phen) toward most cancer cell lines. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity observed for 1 is for most cell lines close to that of cisplatin, or even better. Cu(3-Clip-Phen) induces very low cytotoxic effects, but a marked migratory activity. Complex 6 presents DNA-cleavage properties comparable to the one of Cu(3-Clip-Phen), but it does not show any migratory activity. Interestingly, both Cu(3-Clip-Phen) and 6 induces vacuolisation processes in the cell in contrast to complex 1 and cisplatin. Thus, the four complexes cisplatin tested, Cu(3-Clip-Phen), I and 6 stimulate different cellular responses.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13The Convergence of q-bernstein Polynomials (0 < q < 1) in the Complex Plane(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2009) Ostrovska, SofiyaThe paper focuses at the estimates for the rate of convergence of the q-Bernstein polynomials (0 < q < 1) in the complex plane. In particular, a generalization of previously known results on the possibility of analytic continuation of the limit function and an elaboration of the theorem by Wang and Meng is presented.

They were examined by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Single phase, belongs to the cubic pyrochlore structure, with a lattice parameter of 10.442 Angstrom and grain size that varies from 16 to 20 mum was obtained. The electrical properties were measured at different temperatures in the range 15-330 K under different applied magnetic fields up 1.4 T. In our measurements for Hall coefficient, Hall resistivity, and mobility; we noticed an anomalous behavior at two temperatures (around 250 and 310 K) which was supported by the I-V measurements (double transition of the slope of I-V characteristics (beta) at the same temperatures). This was discussed in terms of polarization phenomenon and mixed ionic-electronic conduction. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The optical data have revealed an indirect and direct allowed transition band gaps of 2.45 and 2.51 eV, an oscillator and dispersion energy of 5.04 and 26.45 eV, respectively, a static dielectric constant of 6.25 and static refractive index of 2.50. The dark Hall coefficient measurements have shown that the crystals exhibit a conductivity type conversion from p-type to n-type at a critical temperature of 315 K. Deep donor and acceptor energy levels of 0.37/0.36 eV and 0.66 eV has been calculated from the temperature dependence of Hall coefficient and resistivity, and photocurrent measurements, respectively. The photocurrent decreases with decreasing temperature. The analysis of the photocurrent data have revealed that, the recombination mechanism is linear and supralinear above and below 290 K, respectively. (c) 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The Hall measurements revealed that the crystals exhibit an anomalous behavior of Hall voltage by changing sign (from p-type to n-type conductivity) at 315 K. By means of the temperature dependence of dark electrical resistivity, Hall coefficient and photocurrent measurements the donor energy levels located at 360, 280, 152 and 112 meV were detected. The photocurrent-illumination intensity dependence follows the law I-Ph proportional to F-gamma with gamma being 1.0 (linear), 0.5 (sublinear), 1.0 (linear) and 1.3 (supralinear) at low, moderate, high and very high illumination intensities indicating the monomolecular in the bulk, bimolecular and strong recombination at the surface, respectively. The photocurrent is observed to increase with increasing temperature up to a maximum temperature (T-m) 245 K. T is observed to shift to higher temperature as F increases, and disappears in the region where I-Ph-F dependence is supralinear. The phenomenon is attributed to the exchange in the behavior of the sensitizing and recombination centers. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

The data reflect the intrinsic and extrinsic nature of the crystals above and below 300 K, respectively. Energy band gaps of 1.35 and 1.31 eV at 0 K and 300 K, were defined from the dark conductivity measurements and the photocurrent spectra, respectively. The dark and photoconductivity data in the extrinsic temperature region reflect the existence of two independent donor energy levels located at 130 and 16 meV. The photocurrent-illumination intensity dependence (F) follows the law I(ph)alphaF(gamma), with gamma being 1.0, 0.5 and 1.0 at low, moderate and high intensities indicating the domination of monomolecular, bimolecular and strong recombination at the surface, respectively. In the intrinsic region and in the temperature region where the shallow donor energy level 16 meV is dominant, the free electron life time, tau(n), is found to be constant with increasing F. In the temperature region 140 K < T < 210 K, the free electron life time increases with increasing illumination intensity showing the supralinear character. Below 140 K, tau(n) decrease with decreasing illumination intensity. (C) 2003 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Temperature dependence of dark electrical conductivity and the space-charge limited current studies indicate the presence of a single discrete trapping level located at 0.31 eV below the conduction band with a density of about 1.3 x 10(15) cm(-3). The conductivity data above 320 K reveal an additional donor level with activation energy of 0.40 eV indicating the extrinsic nature of conduction. The spectral distribution of photocurrent in the photon energy range of 0.65-5.9 eV reveals an indirect band gap of 2.26 eV. The photocurrent-illumination intensity dependence follows the law I-ph proportional to F-gamma, with gamma being 1.0, 0.65, and 0.5 at low, moderate and high illumination intensities, respectively. The corresponding behavior indicates the domination of monomolecular recombination, near equal densities of trapped and recombination centers and bimolecular recombination. It is observed that the photocurrent increases in the temperature range from 250 K up to T-m = 360 K and decreases for T > T-m. The temperature dependence of the photocurrent reveals two additional impurity levels with activation energies of 0.14 and 0.10 eV below and above Tm, respectively.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Refractive Index, Static Dielectric Constant, Energy Band Gap and Oscillator Parameters of Ga2ses Single Crystals(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2007) Qasrawi, A. F.; Gasanly, N. M.The optical properties of Bridgman method grown Ga2SeS crystals have been investigated by means of room-temperature transmittance and reflectance spectral analysis. The optical data have revealed direct and indirect allowed transition band gaps of 2.49 and 2.10 eV, respectively. The room-temperature refractive index, which was calculated from the reflectance and transmittance data, allowed the identification of the dispersion and oscillator energies, static dielectric constant and static refractive index as 20.93 eV and 4.01 eV, 6.21 and 2.49, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 76Citation - Scopus: 80Unique Ligand-Based Oxidative Dna Cleavage by Zinc(ii) Complexes of Hpyramol and Hpyrimol(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2007) Maheswari, Palanisamy Uma; Barends, Sharief; Oezalp-Yaman, Seniz; de Hoog, Paul; Casellas, Helene; Teat, Simon J.; Reedijk, JanThe zinc(II) complexes reported here have been synthesised from the ligand 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethyl)aminophenol (Hpyramol) with chloride or acetate counterions. All the five complexes have been structurally characterised, and the crystal structures reveal that the ligand Hpyramol gradually undergoes an oxidative dehydrogenation to form the ligand 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aminophenol (Hpyrimol), upon coordination to Zn-II. All the five complexes cleave the phi X174 phage DNA oxidatively and the complexes with fully dehydrogenated pyrimol ligands were found to be more efficient than the complexes with non-dehydrogenated Hpyramol ligands. The DNA cleavage is suggested to be ligand-based, whereas the pure ligands alone do not cleave DNA. The DNA cleavage is strongly suggested to be oxidative, possibly due to the involvement of a non-diffusible phenoxyl radical mechanism. ne enzymatic religation experiments and DNA cleavage in the presence of different radical scavengers further support the oxidative DNA cleavage by the zinc(II) complexes.
