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.

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.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 32Urine Analysis Using Ftir Spectroscopy: a Study on Healthy Adults and Children(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2021) Sarigul, Neslihan; Kurultak, Ilhan; Gokceoglu, Arife Uslu; Korkmaz, FilizUrine spectra from 108 healthy volunteers are studied by attenuated total refraction-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The spectral features are correlated with observable urine components. The variation of spectra within a healthy population is quantified and a library of reference spectra is constructed. Using the band assignments, these spectra are compared with both age-wise and gender-wise. Children show the least intensity variations compared to both adult groups. Young adults show the highest variation, particularly in the 1650 to 1400 cm(-1) and 1200 to 900 cm(-1) regions. These results indicate the importance of the size of the control group in comparative studies utilizing FTIR. Age-wise comparisons reveal that phosphate and sulfate excretion decreases with age, and that the variance of phosphate among individuals is higher with adults. As for gender-wise comparisons, females show a slightly higher citrate content at 1390 cm(-1) regardless of the age and they show a higher variance in the 1200 to 1000 cm(-1) region when compared to men.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.

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: 12Citation - Scopus: 15Schwarz Problem for Higher-Order Complex Partial Differential Equations in the Upper Half Plane(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2019) Aksoy, Umit; Begehr, Heinrich; Celebi, A. OkayLinear and nonlinear elliptic complex partial differential equations of higher-order are considered under Schwarz conditions in the upper-half plane, Firstly, using the integral representations for the solutions of the inhomogeneous polyanalytic equation with Schvvarz conditions, a class of integral operators is introduced together with some of their properties. Then, these operators are used to transform the problem for linear equations into singular integral equations. In the case of nonlinear equations such a transformation yields a system of integro-differential equations. Existence of the solutions of the relevant boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear equations are discussed via Fredholm theory and fixed point theorems, respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9Innovative Carbon Dioxide-Capturing Organic Solvent: Reaction Mechanism and Kinetics(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2017) Orhan, Ozge Yuksel; Tankal, Hilal; Kayi, Hakan; Alper, ErdoganThe reaction rates of CO2 with an innovative CO2-capturing organic solvent (CO2COS), consisting of blends of 2-tert-butyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (BTMG) and 1-propanol, were obtained as function of BTMG concentration and temperature. A stopped-flow apparatus with conductivity detection was used. The reaction was modeled by means of a modified termolecular reaction mechanism which resulted in a second-order rate constant, and activation energies were calculated for a defined temperature range. Quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level also produced the activation energy of this reaction system which strongly supports the experimental findings.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 30A New, Highly Conductive, Lithium Salt/Nonionic Surfactant, Lyotropic Liquid-Crystalline Mesophase and Its Application(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2012) Albayrak, Cemal; Cihaner, Atilla; Dag, Omer[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 35A Diverse-Stimuli Responsive Chemiluminescent Probe With Luminol Scaffold and Its Electropolymerization(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2010) Asil, Demet; Cihaner, Atilla; Algi, Fatih; Onal, Ahmet M.A diverse-stimuli responsive chemiluminescent system, SNS-Lum, and its electropolymerization to give PSNS-Lum, which is the first example of conjugated polymers with pendant luminol arms inducing chemiluminescence in the presence of super oxide radical anion under neutral conditions, are highlighted.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 15Stability Criterion for Second Order Linear Impulsive Differential Equations With Periodic Coefficients(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2008) Guseinov, G.
