Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Effect of the Synthesis Method and Particle Size on Bczt Electrocaloric Properties(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Temel, Helin; Avci, Tubanur; Okatan, M. Baris; Alkoy, Sedat; Misirlioglu, I. Burc; Mensur, EbruIn this study, the electrocaloric properties of BCZT ceramics fabricated through different processing methods: solid-state and sol-gel were investigated. The calcination process was done for BCZT powders obtained by sol-gel process at 900 degrees C for 2 h and by solid-state calcination method at 1200 degrees C for 6 h. BCZT-SG ceramics exhibited higher Delta T values, particularly at lower temperatures (similar to 0 degrees C-20 degrees C), and a stronger response to the electric field, suggesting a more efficient domain structure due to sol-gel processing. Notably, BCZT-SGH samples demonstrated the most complex and pronounced electrocaloric behavior, with dual Delta T peaks around 0 degrees C and 50 degrees C, and the highest Delta T of 2.5 K at 80 kV/cm and 50 degrees C, surpassing values in the literature. Especially, high Delta T results at 0 degrees C allows using this material in the extreme conditions. These results emphasize the significant role of processing techniques in tailoring the structural, dielectric, and electrocaloric properties of BCZT ceramics for high-performance energy applications.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Targeting the Panoptosome Using Necrostatin-1 Reduces Panoptosis and Protects the Kidney Against Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in a Rat Model of Controlled Experimental Nonheart-Beating Donor(Elsevier Science inc, 2024) Dokur, Mehmet; Uysal, Erdal; Kucukdurmaz, Faruk; Altinay, Serdar; Polat, Sait; Batcioglu, Kadir; Yeni, Sema Nur DokurPurpose. Reducing renal ischemia is crucial for the function and survival of grafts from non- heartbeat donors, as it leads to inflammatory responses and tubulointerstitial damage. The primary concern with organs from nonheartbeat donors is the long warm ischemia period and reperfusion injury following renal transplantation. This study had two main goals; one goal is to determine how Necrostatin-1 targeting the PANoptosome affects PANoptosis in the nonheartbeating donor rat model. The other goal is to fi nd out if Necrostatin-1 can protect the kidney from ischemic injury for renal transplantation surgery. Methods. Twenty-four rats were grouped randomly as control and Necrostatin-1 in this experimental animal study, and we administered 1.65 mg/kg of Necrostatin-1 intraperitoneally to the experimental group for 30 minutes before cardiac arrest. We removed the rats' left kidneys and measured various oxidative stress marker measures such as malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase, catalase, GPx, and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine levels. We then subjected the tissues to immunohistochemical analysis, electron microscopy, and histopathological analysis. Findings. The Necrostatin-1 group had a lower total tubular injury score (P < .001) and less Caspase-3, gasdermin D, and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein expression. Additionally, the apoptotic index of the study group was lower (P < .001). Furthermore, the study group had higher levels of superoxide dismutase and GPx (P < .05), whereas malondialdehyde levels were reduced (P = .009). Electron microscopy also revealed a significant improvement in tissue structure in the Necrostatin-1 group. Conclusion. Necrostatin-1 protects against ischemic acute kidney injury in nonheart-beating donor rats by inhibiting PANoptosis via the blockade of RIPK1. As a result of this, Necrostatin1 may offer novel opportunities for protecting donor kidneys from renal ischemia-reperfusion injury during transplantation in patients with end-stage kidney disease requiring a renal transplantation.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Completeness of Energy Eigenfunctions for the Reflectionless Potential in Quantum Mechanics(Aip Publishing, 2024) Erman, Fatih; Turgut, O. TeomanThere are a few exactly solvable potentials in quantum mechanics for which the completeness relation of the energy eigenstates can be explicitly verified. In this article, we give an elementary proof that the set of bound (discrete) states together with the scattering (continuum) states of the reflectionless potential form a complete set. We also review a direct and elegant derivation of the energy eigenstates with proper normalization by introducing an analog of the creation and annihilation operators of the harmonic oscillator problem. We further show that, in the case of a single bound state, the corresponding wave function can be found from the knowledge of continuum eigenstates of the system. Finally, completeness is shown by using the even/odd parity eigenstates of the Hamiltonian, which provides another explicit demonstration of a fundamental property of quantum mechanical Hamiltonians.Article An Interior Inverse Generalized Impedance Problem for the Modified Helmholtz Equation in Two Dimensions(Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2025) Yaman, Olha Ivanyshyn; Ozdemir, GaziWe consider the inverse interior problem of recovering the surface impedances of the cavity from sources and measurements placed on a curve inside of it. The uniqueness issue is investigated, and a hybrid method is proposed for the numerical solution. The approach takes advantages of both direct and iterative schemes, such as it does not require an initial guess and has an accuracy of a Newton-type method. Presented numerical experiments demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the approach.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Light-Induced, Liquid Crystal-Templated Fabrication of Large-Area Pure Nanoporous Gold Films With High-Density Plasmonic Cavities(Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Orhan, Ozan Baran; Polat, Nahit; Demir, Seren; Balci, Fadime Mert; Balci, SinanNanoporous gold (NPG) films are three-dimensional gold (Au) frameworks characterized by a uniform distribution of nanoscale irregular pores. Typically produced via a dealloying process, where the less noble silver (Ag) is selectively etched out, NPG films offer a large surface area, excellent chemical stability, remarkable catalytic activity, unique optical properties, and biocompatibility. These attributes make them invaluable for applications in catalysis, plasmonics, biosensors, and nanophotonics. However, the presence of residual Ag from the dealloying process can limit their performance in certain applications. In this study, we report a novel method for the fabrication of ultrapure, large-area NPG films (several cm2) using a light-induced and liquid crystal-templated method. A hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal containing a strong acid and a nonionic surfactant is combined with an aqueous solution of HAuCl4, followed by the photochemical synthesis of gold nanoparticles (NPs) within the liquid crystal. After calcination of the Au NP-containing liquid crystal film at high temperature, pure NPG films are produced. We demonstrate surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) molecules adsorbed on the NPG films and detect extremely low concentrations (below 10-6 M) of R6G. Additionally, we thoroughly investigated the formation and optical properties of the NPG films. The results reveal that the ultrapure NPG films contain high-density plasmonic nanocavities, where substantial electromagnetic fields are generated, leading to significant enhancement of optical processes at nanoscale dimensions.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Tailored Bodipy-Based Fluorogenic Probes for Phosgene Detection: a Comparative Evaluation of Recognition Sites(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2024) Dartar, Suay; Kaya, Beraat Umur; Yayak, Yanki Oncu; Vural, Ezgi; Emrullahoglu, MustafaWe constructed two novel boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorescent probes, BOPD and BOBA, each equipped with the phosgene specific recognition units o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and o-aminobenzylamine (OBA) at the 2-position of the BODIPY core. BOPD and BOBA represent rare examples of BODIPY-based probes that operate by modulating an intramolecular charge transfer process (ICT), as validated by computational studies. We systematically compared the analytic performance of those recognition units while focusing on selectivity, fluorescence turn-on ratios and response times. Probe BOBA, equipped with OBA as the recognition unit, demonstrated a remarkably low detection limit (i.e., 1.40 nM) and a rapid response time (<10 s) for triphosgene. By comparison, BOPD, featuring an OPD unit, showed superior selectivity towards triphosgene, with a detection limit of 93 nM and a response time of up to 30 s. A portable sensing platform was developed by loading BOPD onto test strips made of TLC plates, nonwoven materials and small-headed cotton swabs, which were assessed for their effectiveness in detecting phosgene. We additionally performed the first successful application of a fluorescent probe, namely BOPD, for monitoring the accumulation of phosgene in plants.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Stabilization of the First-Order Phase Transition Character and Enhancement of the Electrocaloric Effect by Na<sub>0.5</Sub>bi<sub>0.5< Substitution in Batio<sub>3</Sub> Ceramics(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2024) Karakaya, Merve; Gurbuz, Irem; Fulanovic, Lovro; Adem, UmutThe electrocaloric properties of BaTiO3-based Pb-free ferroelectric materials are widely investigated. One approach to achieving a large electrocaloric response is making use of the substantial polarization change associated with the first-order phase transition at the Curie temperature. To make use of this approach, we have investigated the electrocaloric response of (1 - x)BaTiO3-xNa0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (BT-NBT) ceramics for x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.20 and 0.30. For this BT-rich part of the solid solution, it is established that increasing the NBT content increases the tetragonality of the BaTiO3. We show that this increase in tetragonality with NBT substitution helps to maintain the first-order nature of the phase transition in BaTiO3 and correspondingly a large electrocaloric response, despite the simultaneous enhancement of relaxor ferroelectric character with the NBT substitution. A significantly larger effective electrocaloric temperature change (Delta Teff) of 1.65 K was obtained for the x = 0.20 sample under 40 kV cm-1, using the direct measurement of the electrocaloric effect, which is in reasonable agreement with the indirect measurements.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2The Unlimited Joy, 'once You Start You Can't Stop': Masculinity in Domestic Technology Commercials in Turkey(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Karaosmanoglu, Defne; Ata, Leyla Bektas; Emgin, BaharRecently, studies have begun examining men's interaction with domestic space to explore changing forms of masculinity and domesticity, arguing that housework has become a leisure activity for men, with domestic technologies serving as tools (toys) for them to engage with. In this article, we explore how men in Turkish television commercials of domestic technologies are portrayed and how these portrayals construct and reconstruct discourses of domesticity and masculinity. We aim to understand men's relationship with masculinity, home and domestic work in these commercials. Alongside leisure and fun, we explore the construction of discourses of masculinity and domesticity through specific themes such as the naughty scientist, the self-seeking purchaser, and the flirtatious chef. We argue that seeing more men on screen does not democratise domesticity since the equal share of workload at home is still far from being realised even in these portrayals. We also argue that domesticity is aestheticized with the participation of men and technology. Finally, women are used as instruments by men in reconstructing their masculinity through heterosexuality.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Gliflozins, Sucrose and Flavonoids Are Allosteric Activators of Lecithin-Cholesterol Acyltransferase(Nature Portfolio, 2024) Niemela, Akseli; Giorgi, Laura; Nouri, Sirine; Yurttas, Betul; Rauniyar, Khushbu; Jeltsch, Michael; Koivuniemi, ArtturiLecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) serves as a pivotal enzyme in preserving cholesterol homeostasis via reverse cholesterol transport, a process closely associated with the onset of atherosclerosis. Impaired LCAT function can lead to severe LCAT deficiency disorders for which no pharmacological treatment exists. LCAT-based therapies, such as small molecule positive allosteric modulators (PAMs), against LCAT deficiencies and atherosclerosis hold promise, although their efficacy against atherosclerosis remains challenging. Herein we utilized a quantitative in silico metric to predict the activity of novel PAMs and tested their potencies with in vitro enzymatic assays. As predicted, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors (gliflozins), sucrose and flavonoids activate LCAT. This has intriguing implications for the mechanism of action of gliflozins, which are commonly used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, and for the endogenous activation of LCAT. Our results underscore the potential of molecular dynamics simulations in rational drug design.Conference Object Differential Susceptibility To Senescence in Cart Cells Based on Co-Stimulatory Signaling(Cell Press, 2024) Can, Ismail; Sakemura, Leo R.; Roman, Claudia Manriquez; Sirpilla, Olivia; Stewart, Carli; Yun, Kun; Kenderian, Saad[No Abstract Available]
