Yayın Dissipative dynamics and the statistics of energy states of a Hookean model for protein folding(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 2000-07) Tüzel, Erkan; Erzan, AyşeA generic model of a random polypeptide chain, with discrete torsional degrees of freedom and Hookean spring connecting pails or hydrophobic residues, reproduces the energy probability distribution of real proteins over a very large range of energies. We show that this system with harmonic interactions, under dissipative dynamics driven by random noise, leads to a distribution of energy states obeying a modified one-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and giving rise Lo the so-called Wigner distribution. A tunably fine- or coarse-grained sampling of the energy landscape yields a family of distributions for the energies and energy spacings.Yayın Development of externalizing behaviors in the context of family and non-family relationships(Springer New York, 2016-02-04) Akçinar Yayla, Berna; Baydar, NazlıA longitudinal model was presented, that included reciprocal associations between physically harsh parenting by the mother, child externalizing problems, and support from the father, the extended family, and the neighbors. This transactional process was estimated for the years preceding school entry. The data were from a 4-years longitudinal and nationally representative study of 1009 children and their mothers in Turkey. The results indicated that concurrently, physically harsh parenting and child externalizing problems were strongly associated. Controlling for their within domain stability and cross-domain concurrent correlation, changes in harsh parenting and changes in child externalizing behaviors had significant reciprocal effects in early childhood, although these effects were small. These reciprocal effects were smaller for observer reported harsh parenting than maternal reports. There was a role of the mesosystem in this developmental process. Increases in the support from the father, and the extended family and the neighbors predicted declines in the child externalizing behaviors subsequently. Reciprocally, high child externalizing and maternal physically harsh parenting predicted subsequent declines in the support from these sources. These results were consistent with the hypotheses that negative mother–child relationships could spill over to the other relationships of the mothers, and that positive and supportive relationships of the mother could constitute positive role models for the child.Yayın Cation effect on gel-sol transition of kappa carrageenan(Springer, 2008-04) Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Tarı İlgin, ÖzlemThe steady state fluorescence (SSF) technique was employed to study gel - sol transitions of kappa carrageenan in NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 solutions. Pyranine was used as a fluorescence probe for monitoring these transitions. Scattered light, I-sc and fluorescence intensity, I was monitored against temperature to determine the gel - sol (T-gs) transition temperatures and exponents. It was observed that T-gs values are strongly correlated to the NaCl, KCl and CaCl2 contents. The weight average degree of polymerization, DPw and gel fraction G, exponents (gamma and beta) were measured and found to be in accord with the classical Flory-Stockmayer Model.Yayın Numerical modelling of energy dissipative steel cushions(Korean Soc Steel Constructiın-KSSC, 2019-08) Güllü, Ahmet; Smyrou, Eleni; Khajehdehi, Arastoo; Özkaynak, Hasan; Bal, İhsan Engin; Yüksel, Ercan; Karadoğan, Hüseyin FarukEnergy dissipative steel cushions (EDSCs) are simple units that can be used to join structural members. They can absorb a substantial amount of seismic energy due to their geometric shapes and the ductile behavior of mild steel. Large deformation capability and stable hysteretic behavior were obtained in monotonic and cyclic tests of EDSCs in the framework of the SAFECLADDING project. Discrete numerical modeling strategies were applied to reproduce the experimental results. The first and second models comprise two-dimensional shell elements and one-dimensional flexural frame elements, respectively. The uncertain points in the preparation of the models included the mesh density, representation of the material properties, and interaction between contacting surfaces. A zero-length nonlinear link element was used in the third attempt in the numerical modeling. Parameters are recommended for the Ramberg-Osgood and bilinear models. The obtained results indicate that all of the numerical models can reproduce the response, and the stiffness, strength, and unloading and reloading curves were fitted accurately.Yayın Effect of magnesium and osteoblast cell presence on hydroxyapatite formation on (Ti,Mg)N thin film coatings(Springer, 2016-07-19) Önder, Sakip; Çalıkoğlu Koyuncu, Ayşe Ceren Eren; Köse, Gamze Torun; Kazmanlı, Kürşat Muhammet; Kök, Fatma Neşe; Ürgen, MustafaTiN and (Ti,Mg)N thin film coatings were deposited on Ti substrates by an arc-physical vapor deposition technique. The effect of cell presence on hydroxyapatite (HA) formation was investigated using surfaces with four different Mg contents (0, 8.1, 11.31, and 28.49 at.%). Accelerated corrosion above 10 at.% Mg had a negative effect on the performance in terms of both cell proliferation and mineralization. In the absence of cells, Mg-free TiN coatings and low-Mg (8.1 at.%)-doped (Ti,Mg)N surfaces led to an early HA deposition (after 7 days and 14 days, respectively) in cell culture medium (DMEM), but the crystallinity was low. More crystalline HA structures were obtained in the presence of the cells. HA deposits with an ideal Ca/P ratio were obtained at least a week earlier, at day 14, in TiN and low-Mg (8.1 at.%)-doped (Ti,Mg)N compared with that of high-Mg-containing surfaces (>10 at.%). A thicker mineralized matrix was formed on low-Mg (8.1 at.%)-doped (Ti,Mg)N relative to that of the TiN sample. Low-Mg doping (<10 at.%) into TiN coatings resulted in better cell proliferation and thicker mineralized matrix formation, so it could be a promising alternative for hard tissue applications.Yayın Confluent edge conditions for the electromagnetic wave at the edge of a wedge bounded by material sheets(Elsevier Science, 2000-07) İdemen, Mehmet MithatThe edge conditions which dictate the asymptotic behaviour of the electromagnetic field near the edges play a crucial role in solving boundary-value problems involving boundaries having edges. In analytical studies they permit one to determine some unknown functions while in numerical investigations they enable one to improve the convergence of some processes by introducing beforehand the edge singularities into the field functions. In spite of its importance, the subject has not yet been studied sufficiently and accurately for new types of boundary conditions which are important for practical applications. This work is devoted to the analysis of wedge configurations bounded by material sheets having different constitutive parameters. The cases where the electric or the magnetic field is parallel to the edge are considered separately. It is shown that for each of these cases 81 physically different configurations are possible. However, from mathematical point of view all these configurations can be reduced only to nine canonical types. These canonical types are investigated in full detail by introducing the confluence concept which permits one to reveal also the logarithmic singularities, if any.
