    Signals of chaotic behavior in PMMA
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2003-07) Hacınlıyan, Avadis Simon; Skarlatos, Yani; Şahin, Gökhan; Akın, Güzin Gülsün
    The time evolution of the current passing through PMMA polymer thin films under 10 V at 23degreesC (296 K) was sampled at intervals ranging from 1 to 20 s. The data showed chaotic behavior in the context of pinned charge density waves [Phys. Rev. B 41 (1990) 11522]. The resultant time series has been analyzed by means of TISEAN, time series analysis software [The TISEAN package CHAOS 9 (1999) 413]. The analysis has revealed a positive maximal Lyapunov exponent. This is also corroborated by a calculation of the fractal dimension and application of the Kaplan-Yorke conjecture. In the analysis two widely separated time scales have been observed; the first zero crossing of the correlation function at 8380 s and the first marked minimum of the average mutual information at 40 s.

    Films formed from polystyrene latex/clay composites: A fluorescence study
    (Springer New York, 2005-07) Uğur, Şaziye; Alemdar, Ayşe; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    This study reports a steady-state fluorescence (SSF) technique for studying film formation from surractant-free polystyrene (PS) latex and Na-montmorillonite (SNaM) composites. The composite films were prepared from pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles and SNaM clay at room temperature and annealed at elevated temperatures in 10-min intervals above glass transition temperature (T-g) of polystyrene. During the annealing processes, the transparency of the fllm improved considerably. Scattered light (I-s) and fluorescence intensity (I-s) from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of film formation. Evolution of transparency of composite films was monitored by using photon transmission intensity, I-tr Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to detect the variation in physical structure of annealed composite-films. Minimum flIm formation temperature, T-o, and healing temperatures, T-h, were determined. Void closure and interdiff-usion stages were modeled and related activation energies were determined. It was observed that both activation energies increased as the percent of SNaM was increased in composite films.

    The effect of clay particles on film formation from polystyrene latex
    (Wiley, 2006-06) Uğur, Şaziye; Alemdar, Ayşe; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    Film formation from surfactant-free polystyrene (PS) latex was performed in the presence of 5% Na-montmorillonite (NaMMT). The composite films were prepared from pyrene (P)-labeled PS particles at room temperature and annealed at elevated temperatures above the glass-transition (T-g) temperature of polystyrene. Scattered light (I-s) and fluorescence intensity (I-p) from P were measured after each annealing step to monitor the stages of composite film formation. Minimum film formation temperature, T-o, and healing temperatures, T-h, were determined. Void closure and interdiffusion stages were modeled and related activation energies were measured. From these results, it was found that the presence of NaMMT in the PS latex film only affects the minimum film formation, but does not affect the void closure and backbone motion activities.

    Ceramic encapsulated latex composites
    (Elsevier Inc, 2006-04-15) Uğur, Şaziye; Pehlivan, Esat; Tepehan, Fatma Zehra; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    This work reports the encapsulation of latex particles in Al(2)O(3)-polystyrene (PS) composite films. These films were prepared from PS particles in Al(2)O(3) dispersion at room temperature in various latex contents. Composite films were annealed at elevated temperatures in 10 min time interval above the glass transition temperature (T,,) of polystyrene. Transmitted photon intensities. I(tr) were monitored after each annealing step. AFM micrographs were also used to observe the physical changes of the composite films during annealing. It was observed that latex particles are encapsulated above a critical Al(2)O(3) content of 33 wt% which corresponds to the critical occupation probability of p(c) = 0.33 at which the film obey the site-percolation model with a critical exponent of 0.45. Below pc it was seen that complete latex film formation process took place, where transparency of the film was increased by annealing.

    Direct usage of occupancy data for multiregime speed-flow rate models
    (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2023-01) Aksoy, Göker; Öğüt, Kemal Selçuk
    Early macroscopic traffic flow models were based on observations of volume, speed, and density. The invention of traffic sensors has supplied a wealth of data for the development of more accurate macroscopic flow models. However, traffic sensors typically collect volume, speed, and occupancy data. Researchers prefer to convert occupancy to density because of the density usage in earlier models; however, for this conversion, the average length of passed vehicles must be determined. This length is frequently estimated by researchers. However, because the explanatory variable (density) is not observed but produced, this estimation weakens the model results. Considering these challenges, this research proposes a novel traffic flow modeling approach based on occupancy. The proposed method was tested in three speed-flow rate relationship regions, one of which is congested and two of which are free flow. Free flow speed, capacity, queue discharge flow, breakpoint flow rate, and optimum speed can all be determined more precisely with this method. Furthermore, the nonlinear relationship between speed and flow rate was clarified. The proposed traffic flow model is extremely useful, especially for dynamic traffic management applications, because it is based on directly gathered data such as volume, speed, and occupancy.

    Extension of mikhlin multiplier theorem to fractional derivatives and stable processes
    (Walter De Gruyter GMBH, 2018-04-25) Karlı, Deniz
    In this paper, we prove a new generalized Mikhlin multiplier theorem whose conditions are given with respect to fractional derivatives in integral forms with two different integration intervals. We also discuss the connection between fractional derivatives and stable processes and prove a version of Mikhlin theorem under a condition given in terms of the infinitesimal generator of symmetric stable process. The classical Mikhlin theorem is shown to be a corollary of this new generalized version in this paper.
