Conference Object Citation - WoS: 24Effect of pH and Hydration on the Normal and Lateral Interaction Forces Between Alumina Surfaces(2006) Polat, Mehmet; Sato, Kimiyasu; Nagaoka, Takaaki; Watari, KojiNormal and lateral interaction forces between alumina surfaces were measured using Atomic Force Microscopy-Colloid Probe Method at different pH. The normal force curves exhibit a well-defined repulsive barrier and an attractive minimum at acidic pH and the DLVO theory shows excellent agreement with the data. The normal forces are always repulsive at basic pH and the theory fails to represent the measurements. Lateral forces are almost an order of magnitude smaller in the basic solutions. These differences, which have important implications in the study of stability and rheology, are attributed to the hydration of the alumina surface at basic pH. © 2013 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 27Apoptotic Effects of Resveratrol, a Grape Polyphenol, Onimatinib-Sensitive and Resistant K562 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells(2012) Can,G.; Cakir,Z.; Kartal,M.; Gunduz,U.; Baran,Y.Aim: To examine the antiproliferative and apoptotic effects of resveratrol on imatinib-sensitive and imatinib-resistant K562 chronic myeloid leukemia cells. Materials and Methods: Antiproliferative effects of resveratrol were determined by the 3-Bis[2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulphophenyl]-2H-tetrazolium-5- carboxanilide inner salt (XTT) cell proliferation assay. Apoptotic effects of resveratrol on sensitive K562 and resistant K562/IMA-3 cells were determined through changes in caspase-3 activity, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and apoptosis by annexin V-(FITC). Results: The concentrations of resveratrol that inhibited cell growth by 50% ( IC50) were calculated as 85 and 122 μM for K562 and K562/IMA-3 cells, respectively. There were 1.91-, 7.42- and 14.73-fold increases in loss of MMP in K562 cells treated with 10, 50, and 100 μM resveratrol, respectively. The same concentrations of resveratrol resulted in 2.21-, 3.30- and 7.65-fold increases in loss of MMP in K562/IMA-3 cells. Caspase-3 activity increased 1.04-, 2.77- and 4.8-fold in K562 and 1.02-, 1.41- and 3.46-fold in K562/IMA- 3 cells in response to the same concentrations of resveratrol, respectively. Apoptosis was induced in 58.7%-and 43.3% of K562 and K562/IMA-3 cells, respectively, in response to 100 μM resveratrol. Conclusion: Taken together these results may suggest potential use of resveratrol in CML, as well as in patients with primary and/or acquired resistance to imatinib.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 18Search for Supersymmetry in pp Collisions at √s=13 TeV in the Single-Lepton Final State Using the Sum of Masses of Large-Radius Jets(Amer Physical Soc, 2017) Sirunyan, A. M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Ambrogi, F.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Woods, N.Results are reported from a search for supersymmetric particles in proton-proton collisions in the final state with a single lepton, multiple jets, including at least one b-tagged jet, and large missing transverse momentum. The search uses a sample of proton-proton collision data at root s = 13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The observed event yields in the signal regions are consistent with those expected from standard model backgrounds. The results are interpreted in the context of simplified models of supersymmetry involving gluino pair production, with gluino decay into either on- or off-mass-shell top squarks. Assuming that the top squarks decay into a top quark plus a stable, weakly interacting neutralino, scenarios with gluino masses up to about 1.9 TeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for neutralino masses up to about 1 TeV.Article Citation - Scopus: 34Machine Learning Methods for Microrna Gene Prediction(Humana Press Inc., 2014) Saçar,M.D.; Allmer,J.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded, small, noncoding RNAs of about 22 nucleotides in length, which control gene expression at the posttranscriptional level through translational inhibition, degradation, adenylation, or destabilization of their target mRNAs. Although hundreds of miRNAs have been identified in various species, many more may still remain unknown. Therefore, discovery of new miRNA genes is an important step for understanding miRNA-mediated posttranscriptional regulation mechanisms. It seems that biological approaches to identify miRNA genes might be limited in their ability to detect rare miRNAs and are further limited to the tissues examined and the developmental stage of the organism under examination. These limitations have led to the development of sophisticated computational approaches attempting to identify possible miRNAs in silico. In this chapter, we discuss computational problems in miRNA prediction studies and review some of the many machine learning methods that have been tried to address the issues. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014.Data Paper Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Experimental data showing the thermal behavior of a flat roof with phase change material(Elsevier, 2015) Tokuç, Ayça; Başaran, Tahsin; Yesügey, Sadık CengizThe selection and configuration of building materials for optimal energy efficiency in a building require some assumptions and models for the thermal behavior of the utilized materials. Although the models for many materials can be considered acceptable for simulation and calculation purposes, the work for modeling the real time behavior of phase change materials is still under development. The data given in this article shows the thermal behavior of a flat roof element with a phase change material (PCM) layer. The temperature and energy given to and taken from the building element are reported. In addition the solid-liquid behavior of the PCM is tracked through images. The resulting thermal behavior of the phase change material is discussed and simulated in [1] A. Tokuç, T. Başaran, S.C.

However, the extension of this regulatory effect of mechanical loads on cancer cells is largely unknown. Increased physical compliance is one of the key features of cancer cells, which may hamper the transmission of mechanical loads to these cells within tumor microenvironment. Here we tested whether brief daily application of an external low magnitude mechanical stimulus (LMMS), would impede the growth of MDA-MB-231 aggressive type breast cancer cells in vitro for 3 wks of growth. Methods: The signal was applied in oscillatory form at 90 Hz and 0.15 g, a regimen that would induce mechanical loads on MDA-MB-231 cells via inertial properties of cells rather than matrix deformations. Experimental cells were exposed to LMMS 15 min/day, 5 days/week in ambient conditions while control cells were sham loaded. Cell proliferation, viability, cycle, apoptosis, morphology and migration were tested via Trypan Blue dye exclusion, MTT, PI, Annexin V, Calcein-AM and phalloidin stains and scratch wound assays. Results: Compared to sham controls, daily application of LMMS reduced the number and viability of cancerous MDA-MB-231 cells significantly after first week in the culture, while non-cancerous MCF10A cells were found to be unaffected. Flow cytomety analyses suggested that the observed decrease for the cancer cells in the LMMS group was due to a cell cycle arrest rather than apoptosis. LMMS further reduced cancer cell circularity and increased cytoskeletal actin in MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusion: Combined, results suggest that direct application of mechanical loads negatively regulate the proliferation of aggressive type cancer cells. If confirmed, this non-invasive approach may be integrated to the efforts for the prevention and/or treatment of cancer.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Automated Labeling of Cancer Textures in Larynx Histopathology Slides Using Quasi-Supervised Learning(Science Printers and Publishers Inc., 2014) Önder, Devrim; Sarıoğlu, Sülen; Karaçalı, BilgeOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of a quasisupervised statistical learning algorithm, operating on datasets having normal and neoplastic tissues, to identify larynx squamous cell carcinomas. Furthermore, cancer texture separability measures against normal tissues are to be developed and compared either for colorectal or larynx tissues. STUDY DESIGN: Light microscopic digital images from histopathological sections were obtained from laryngectomy materials including squamous cell carcinoma and nonneoplastic regions. The texture features were calculated by using co-occurrence matrices and local histograms. The texture features were input to the quasisupervised learning algorithm. RESULTS: Larynx regions containing squamous cell carcinomas were accurately identified, having false and true positive rates up to 21% and 87%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Larynx squamous cell carcinoma versus normal tissue texture separability measures were higher than colorectal adenocarcinoma versus normal textures for the colorectal database. Furthermore, the resultant labeling performances for all larynx datasets are higher than or equal to that of colorectal datasets. The results in larynx datasets, in comparison with the former colorectal study, suggested that quasi-supervised texture classification is to be a helpful method in histopathological image classification and analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 80Citation - Scopus: 74Measurements of Differential and Double-Differential Drell-Yan Cross Sections in Proton-Proton Collisions at ?s=8 Tev(Springer Verlag, 2015) Karapınar, Güler; CMS CollaborationMeasurements of the differential and double-differential Drell-Yan cross sections in the dielectron and dimuon channels are presented. They are based on proton-proton collision data at root s = 8 TeV recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb(-1). The measured inclusive cross section in the Z peak region (60-120 GeV), obtained from the combination of the dielectron and dimuon channels, is 1138 +/- 8 (exp) +/- 25 (theo) +/- 30 (lumi) pb, where the statistical uncertainty is negligible. The differential cross section d sigma/dm in the dilepton mass range 15-2000 GeV is measured and corrected to the full phase space. The double-differential cross section d(2)sigma/dm d vertical bar y vertical bar is also measured over the mass range 20 to 1500 GeV and absolute dilepton rapidity from 0 to 2.4. In addition, the ratios of the normalized differential cross sections measured at root s = 7 and 8 TeV are presented. These measurements are compared to the predictions of perturbative QCD at next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) orders using various sets of parton distribution functions (PDFs). The results agree with the NNLO theoretical predictions computed with FEWZ 3.1 using the CT10 NNLO and NNPDF2.1 NNLO PDFs. The measured double-differential cross section and ratio of normalized differential cross sections are sufficiently precise to constrain the proton PDFs.Article Citation - WoS: 47Citation - Scopus: 39Search for Decays of Stopped Long-Lived Particles Produced in Proton-Proton Collisions at ?s=8tev(Springer Verlag, 2015) Karapınar, Güler; CMS CollaborationA search has been performed for long-lived particles that could have come to rest within the CMS detector, using the time intervals between LHC beam crossings. The existence of such particles could be deduced from observation of their decays via energy deposits in the CMS calorimeter appearing at times that are well separated from any proton-proton collisions. Using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.6 fb(-1) of 8 TeV proton-proton collisions, and a search interval corresponding to 281 h of trigger livetime, 10 events are observed, with a background prediction of 13.2(-2.5)(+3.6) events. Limits are presented at 95 % confidence level on gluino and top squark production, for over 13 orders of magnitude in the mean proper lifetime of the stopped particle. Assuming a cloud model of R-hadron interactions, a gluino with mass less than or similar to 1000 GeV and a top squark with mass less than or similar to 525 GeV are excluded, for lifetimes between 1 mu s and 1000 s. These results are the most stringent constraints on stopped particles to date.Article Citation - WoS: 72Citation - Scopus: 72Measurement of J /Ψ and Ψ (2s) Prompt Double-Differential Cross Sections in Pp Collisions at S =7tev(American Physical Society, 2015) Khachatryan, V.; Sirunyan, A.M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Bergauer, T.; Dragicevic, M.; Innocente, V.The double-differential cross sections of promptly produced J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are measured in pp collisions at s=7TeV, as a function of transverse momentum pT and absolute rapidity |y|. The analysis uses J/ψ and ψ(2S) dimuon samples collected by the CMS experiment, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 4.55 and 4.90fb-1, respectively. The results are based on a two-dimensional analysis of the dimuon invariant mass and decay length, and extend to pT=120 and 100 GeV for the J/ψ and ψ(2S), respectively, when integrated over the interval |y|<1.2. The ratio of the ψ(2S) to J/ψ cross sections is also reported for |y|<1.2, over the range 10<pT<100GeV. These are the highest pT values for which the cross sections and ratio have been measured. © 2015 CERN, for the CMS Collaboration.
