Correction Chlorinated Phosphorene for Energy Application (vol 231, 112625, 2024)(Elsevier, 2024) Hassani, Nasim; Yagmurcukardes, Mehmet; Peeters, Francois M.; Neek-Amal, Mehdi[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Real-Time Superficial Vein Imaging System for Observing Abnormalities on Vascular Structures(Springer, 2024) Altay, A.; Gumus, A.Circulatory system abnormalities might be an indicator of diseases or tissue damage. Early detection of vascular abnormalities might have an important role during treatment and also raise the patient’s awareness. Current detection methods for vascular imaging are high-cost, invasive, and mostly radiation-based. In this study, a low-cost and portable microcomputer-based tool has been developed as a Near-Infrared (NIR) superficial vascular imaging device. The device uses NIR Light-Emitting Diode (LED) light at 850 nm along with other electronic and optical components. It operates as a non-contact and safe infrared (IR) imaging method in real-time. Image and video analysis are carried out using OpenCV (Open-Source Computer Vision), a library of programming functions mainly used in computer vision. Various tests were carried out to optimize the imaging system and set up a suitable external environment. To test the performance of the device, the images taken from three diabetic volunteers, who are expected to have abnormalities in the vascular structure due to the possibility of deformation caused by high glucose levels in the blood, were compared with the images taken from two non-diabetic volunteers. As a result, tortuosity was observed successfully in the superficial vascular structures, where the results need to be interpreted by the medical experts in the field to understand the underlying reasons. Although this study is an engineering study and does not have an intention to diagnose any diseases, the developed system here might assist healthcare personnel in early diagnosis and treatment follow-up for vascular structures and may enable further opportunities. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2023.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Liquid Metal-Tunable Miniaturized Bimodal Cavity for Enhanced Measurement Accuracy in the Ism Bands(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2024) Karatay, Anil; Yaman, FatihEnhancing measurement accuracy or reducing the effect of the neighboring modes in resonant cavities may necessitate the separation of mode frequencies. However, in ISM-band measurement configurations utilizing a rectangular or cylindrical cavity, the placement of the first two modes at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz is unattainable, necessitating the presence of additional modes in between that would potentially degrade measurement accuracy. This article begins with an analytical approach, employing Lagrange multipliers for the first time to reveal the level of separation achievable in the frequency domain between the initial two modes within these types of conventional cavities. The analytical results were also verified with a numerical grid search. Subsequently, innovative strategies have been introduced to surpass this intrinsic constraint that reduces the measurement accuracy in various applications. A novel miniaturized cavity configuration has been proposed to operate bimodally at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz and manufactured with a 3-D printer. It has been ensured that there are no physical modes present in between, and measurements of the structure have been conducted. Another notable innovation of the article is the capability of tuning the proposed cavity structure by means of liquid metal displacement. Thus, a more flexible tuning method compared to mechanical tuning techniques can be achieved, enabling precise adjustment of the desired measurement frequency. Good agreement between the simulation and measurement results has been reported.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1T Cell Expressed Microrna-155 Promotes Antitumor Immunity and Immune Checkpoint Blockade Responses in Colon Cancer Through Repression of Ship1(Amer Assoc Immunologists, 2023) Tang, William W.; Ekiz, H. Atakan; Voth, Warren P.; Bauer, Kaylyn M.; Barba, Cindy; Ghazaryan, Arevik; Nelson, MorganArticle Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Light-Induced Synthesis of Single-Crystalline Gold Microplates in an Open System(Amer Chemical Soc, 2023) Akkuş, Betül; Mert Balcı, FadimeBottom-up synthesis of large single-crystalline gold microplates is of key importance to catalysis, nanophotonics, bioengineering, and plasmonics. However, easy, low-cost, room-temperature, and high-yield synthesis of large gold microplates with several micrometers in lateral size and a few tens of nanometers in thickness by using photochemical synthesis in an open system is still challenging. We herein report on an easy and cost-effective photochemical synthesis of single-crystalline gold microplates with lateral sizes up to around 40 mu m and tens of nanometers in thickness in a few hours of reaction time in an open system containing a lyotropic liquid crystal, which is formed by self-assembly of 10-lauryl ether in a strong acid, sulfuric acid, along with water. We have found that by changing the reaction parameters, such as the reaction time, the concentration of gold ions in the liquid crystal, etc., the thickness and size of the microplates can be easily controlled. Most importantly, the liquid crystalline phase is completely preserved after completion of the photochemical reaction. The microplates can be easily isolated and transferred to different media such as alcohol and water for further studies, or they can be immediately used on a substrate after completion of the reaction. The results obtained in this study will allow us to understand the growth mechanism of gold microplates in open systems, and they will find applications in a variety of critical areas, such as plasmonics, nanophotonics, and catalysis.Review Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 12Readiness and Maturity Models for Industry 4.0: a Systematic Literature Review(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2023) Ünlü, H.; Demirörs, O.; Garousi, V.Industry 4.0 changes traditional manufacturing relationships from isolated optimized cells to fully integrated data and product flows across borders with its technological pillars. However, the transition to Industry 4.0 is not a straightforward journey in which organizations need assistance. A well-known approach that can be utilized during the early phases of the transition is to assess the capability of the organization. Maturity models are frequently used to improve capability. In this systematic literature review (SLR), we analyzed 22 maturity and readiness models based on 10 criteria: year, type, focus, structure, research methodology followed during the design of models, base frameworks, tool support, community support, objectivity, and extent of usage in practice. Our SLR provides a well-defined comparison for organizations to choose and apply available models. This SLR showed that (1) there is no widely accepted maturity/readiness model for Industry 4.0, as well as no international standard; (2) only a few models have received positive feedback from the industry, whereas most do not provide any practical usage information; and (3) the objectivity of the assessment method is controversial in most of the models. We have also identified a number of issues as open research areas for assessing readiness and maturity models for Industry 4.0. © 2023 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Correction Chlorinated Phosphorene for Energy Application (vol 231, 112625, 2024)(Elsevier, 2024) Hassani, Nasim; Yagmurcukardes, Mehmet; Peeters, Francois M.; Neek-Amal, Mehdi[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13On the Temperature Measurement During Ultrafast High-Temperature Sintering (uhs): Shall We Trust Metal-Shielded Thermocouples?(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Biesuz, Mattia; Karacasulu, Levent; Vakifahmetoglu, Cekdar; Sglavo, Vincenzo M.Temperature measurement upon ultrafast high-temperature sintering (UHS) is a crucial task. Herein, we provide some arguments posing concerns about the use of metal-shielded thermocouples as temperature probes in UHS. The discussion is based on literature data and on some ad hoc experiments. In detail, we show at least two cases in the literature where the use of a shielded thermocouple causes a substantial underestimation of the UHS temperature. The argumentation is based on comparing the thermocouples read and the observed phase and microstructural evolution. Moreover, by means of a simple experimental design, we show that a metal shield on the thermocouple tip can substantially reduce the measured temperature. Since the metal shield is orders of magnitude more thermally conductive than the graphite felt used as heating element in UHS, it efficiently removes heat from the thermocouple tip region. As such, data acquired from shielded thermocouples must be treated with care.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Weak Dependence of Voltage Amplification in a Semiconductor Channel on Strain State and Thickness of a Multidomain Ferroelectric in a Bilayer Gate(American Chemical Society, 2023) Misirlioglu, I.B.; Yapici, M.K.; Sendur, K.; Okatan, M.B.Ferroelectric/dielectric layered stacks are of special interest as gate oxides in the pursuit of designing low-power transistors, where the electrostatics of such stacks are thought to provide a means to allow for voltage amplification in the semiconductor channel. Strain and thickness dependence of the response of such a gate stack in relation to voltage amplification in a semiconductor channel becomes important to identify, which is what we study in this work using a thermodynamic approach. For a ferroelectric multidomain state as the stable phase in the stack, our findings show that a limited magnitude of voltage amplification appears to be feasible. Voltage amplification at the semiconductor surface is computed to hardly exceed 1.2 in thick bilayers (40 nm) for strains stabilizing the multidomain state and attains even less than this value for the thinner stacks. © 2023 American Chemical Society.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Lithium Extraction From Aqueous Systems by Λ-mno<sub>2</Sub>-deposited Pu Electrospun Mats(Amer Chemical Soc, 2023) Akgun, Berk; Baba, Alper; Demir, Mustafa M.There has been a strong increase in demand for lithium, so the extraction of lithium from natural water resources has become a remarkable remedy to reduce the harmful environmental impact of conventional lithium extraction processes. One of the most effective methods of separating lithium from natural water sources is adsorption using lithium ion sieves as adsorbents. However, the powdered nature of the adsorbents makes them challenging to process. In this study, flexible and free-standing polyurethane (PU) electrospun mats associated with lambda-MnO2 particles were fabricated to extract lithium from aqueous systems. Bead-free and smooth nanofibers were electrospun from a volumetric mixture of DMF:THF (1:2) at 30 wt % of PU solution. lambda-MnO2 powder was deposited on the electrospun mat by vacuum-assisted deposition. The lithium extraction performance of the mats was found to be 21% using single-layer filtration and increased to 77% with multistage filtration. Moreover, using the optimized conditions, lithium extraction achieved up to 14% in a spiked brine sample taken from Lake Tuz (Central Anatolia, Turkey), where the Mg2+/Li+ ratio is higher than 85.
