Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Exponential Stability for the Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation With Locally Distributed Damping(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) Cavalcanti, Marcelo M.; Correa, Wellington J.; Özsarı, Türker; Sepulveda, Mauricio; Vejar-Aseme, RodrigoIn this paper, we study the defocusing nonlinear Schrodinger equation with a locally distributed damping on a smooth bounded domain as well as on the whole space and on an exterior domain. We first construct approximate solutions using the theory of monotone operators. We show that approximate solutions decay exponentially fast in the L-2-sense by using the multiplier technique and a unique continuation property. Then, we prove the global existence as well as the L-2-decay of solutions for the original model by passing to the limit and using a weak lower semicontinuity argument, respectively. The distinctive feature of the paper is the monotonicity approach, which makes the analysis independent from the commonly used Strichartz estimates and allows us to work without artificial smoothing terms inserted into the main equation. We in addition implement a precise and efficient algorithm for studying the exponential decay established in the first part of the paper numerically. Our simulations illustrate the efficacy of the proposed control design.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 13History of Spectroscopy and Modern Micromachined Disposable Si Atr-Ir Spectroscopy(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Koç, Mert; Karabudak, EnginIn this article, the historical development of spectroscopy is examined and the spectroscopy devices used today are described. Then, we focus on infrared (IR) spectroscopy, which cannot give valuable signal in aqueous solution. Attenuated total reflection (ATR)-IR technique solves the problem. In addition, we specifically mention newly developed disposable ATR-IR crystals and micromachined silicon (Si) ATR-IR. Disposable crystal systems and microfluidics systems can be integrated with existing miniature ATR analyzers. If the integration is successful, the technique might be used in biomedical measuring instruments, reactions' analyses, and ultra-high-pressure analyses.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Development of Mentor Teacher Role Inventory(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2011) Koç, Ebru MelekThis study aimed to develop and investigate the validity and reliability of the Mentor Teacher Role Inventory (MTRI). A total of 1843 student teachers in the Distance English Teacher Training Program participated in the study. The 58 items of the Mentor Teacher Role Inventory underwent principal factor analysis, which revealed nine factors relating to mentorship and explained 52.971% of the total variance. The KMO value of the MTRI was calculated as.968. The Cronbach's alpha was.951. These results indicated that a reliable and valid MTRI could be used for both the distance English teacher training programme and other distance teacher education programmes.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Model Reference Tracking Control of an Aircraft: a Robust Adaptive Approach(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Tanyer, İlker; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroğlu, ErkanThis work presents the design and the corresponding analysis of a nonlinear robust adaptive controller for model reference tracking of an aircraft that has parametric uncertainties in its system matrices and additive state- and/or time-dependent nonlinear disturbance-like terms in its dynamics. Specifically, robust integral of the sign of the error feedback term and an adaptive term is fused with a proportional integral controller. Lyapunov-based stability analysis techniques are utilised to prove global asymptotic convergence of the output tracking error. Extensive numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed robust adaptive controller.Article Citation - WoS: 625Citation - Scopus: 698Flow Cytometry: Basic Principles and Applications(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Adan, Aysun; Alizada, Günel; Kiraz, Yağmur; Baran, Yusuf; Nalbant, AytenFlow cytometry is a sophisticated instrument measuring multiple physical characteristics of a single cell such as size and granularity simultaneously as the cell flows in suspension through a measuring device. Its working depends on the light scattering features of the cells under investigation, which may be derived from dyes or monoclonal antibodies targeting either extracellular molecules located on the surface or intracellular molecules inside the cell. This approach makes flow cytometry a powerful tool for detailed analysis of complex populations in a short period of time. This review covers the general principles and selected applications of flow cytometry such as immunophenotyping of peripheral blood cells, analysis of apoptosis and detection of cytokines. Additionally, this report provides a basic understanding of flow cytometry technology essential for all users as well as the methods used to analyze and interpret the data. Moreover, recent progresses in flow cytometry have been discussed in order to give an opinion about the future importance of this technology.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 22Thermal Conductivity Engineering of Bulk and One-Dimensional Si-Ge Nanoarchitectures(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2017) Kandemir, Ali; Özden, Ayberk; Çağın, Tahir; Sevik, CemVarious theoretical and experimental methods are utilized to investigate the thermal conductivity of nanostructured materials; this is a critical parameter to increase performance of thermoelectric devices. Among these methods, equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) is an accurate technique to predict lattice thermal conductivity. In this study, by means of systematic EMD simulations, thermal conductivity of bulk Si-Ge structures (pristine, alloy and superlattice) and their nanostructured one dimensional forms with square and circular cross-section geometries (asymmetric and symmetric) are calculated for different crystallographic directions. A comprehensive temperature analysis is evaluated for selected structures as well. The results show that one-dimensional structures are superior candidates in terms of their low lattice thermal conductivity and thermal conductivity tunability by nanostructuring, such as by diameter modulation, interface roughness, periodicity and number of interfaces. We find that thermal conductivity decreases with smaller diameters or cross section areas. Furthermore, interface roughness decreases thermal conductivity with a profound impact. Moreover, we predicted that there is a specific periodicity that gives minimum thermal conductivity in symmetric superlattice structures. The decreasing thermal conductivity is due to the reducing phonon movement in the system due to the effect of the number of interfaces that determine regimes of ballistic and wave transport phenomena. In some nanostructures, such as nanowire superlattices, thermal conductivity of the Si/Ge system can be reduced to nearly twice that of an amorphous silicon thermal conductivity. Additionally, it is found that one crystal orientation, < 100 >, is better than the < 111 > crystal orientation in one-dimensional and bulk SiGe systems. Our results clearly point out the importance of lattice thermal conductivity engineering in bulk and nanostructures to produce high-performance thermoelectric materials.Article Citation - WoS: 278Citation - Scopus: 295Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Resistance and Its Reversal in Cancer(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016) Kartal Yandım, Melis; Adan Gökbulut, Aysun; Baran, YusufChemotherapy is the main strategy for the treatment of cancer. However, the main problem limiting the success of chemotherapy is the development of multidrug resistance. The resistance can be intrinsic or acquired. The resistance phenotype is associated with the tumor cells that gain a cross-resistance to a large range of drugs that are structurally and functionally different. Multidrug resistance arises via many unrelated mechanisms, such as overexpression of energy-dependent efflux proteins, decrease in uptake of the agents, increase or alteration in drug targets, modification of cell cycle checkpoints, inactivation of the agents, compartmentalization of the agents, inhibition of apoptosis and aberrant bioactive sphingolipid metabolism. Exact elucidation of resistance mechanisms and molecular and biochemical approaches to overcome multidrug resistance have been a major goal in cancer research. This review comprises the mechanisms guiding multidrug resistance in cancer chemotherapy and also touches on approaches for reversing the resistance.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 20Non-Linear Control of Variable-Speed Wind Turbines With Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators: a Robust Backstepping Approach(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016) Şeker, Murat; Zergeroğlu, Erkan; Tatlıcıoğlu, EnverIn this study, a robust backstepping approach for the control problem of the variable-speed wind turbine with a permanent magnet synchronous generator is presented. Specifically, to overcome the negative effects of parametric uncertainties in both mechanical and electrical subsystems, a robust controller with a differentiable compensation term is proposed. The proposed methodology ensures the generator velocity tracking error to uniformly approach a small bound where practical tracking is achieved. Stability of the overall system is ensured by Lyapunov-based arguments. Comparative simulation studies with a standard proportional-integral-type controller are performed to illustrate the effectiveness, feasibility and efficiency of the proposed controller. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5An Asymptotically Stable Robust Controller Formulation for a Class of Mimo Nonlinear Systems With Uncertain Dynamics(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016) Bıdıklı, Barış; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroğlu, Erkan; Bayrak, AlperIn this work, we present a novel continuous robust controller for a class of multi-input/multi-output nonlinear systems that contains unstructured uncertainties in their drift vectors and input matrices. The proposed controller compensates uncertainties in the system dynamics and achieves asymptotic tracking while requiring only the knowledge of the sign of the leading principal minors of the input gain matrix. A Lyapunov-based argument backed up with an integral inequality is applied to prove the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the viability of the proposed method.Article Citation - WoS: 100Citation - Scopus: 106Determination of Kozeny Constant Based on Porosity and Pore To Throat Size Ratio in Porous Medium With Rectangular Rods(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014) Özgümüş, Türküler; Mobedi, Moghtada; Özkol, ÜnverKozeny-Carman permeability equation is an important relation for the determination of permeability in porous media. In this study, the permeabilities of porous media that contains rectangular rods are determined, numerically. The applicability of Kozeny-Carman equation for the periodic porous media is investigated and the effects of porosity and pore to throat size ratio on Kozeny constant are studied. The continuity and Navier- Stokes equations are solved to determine the velocity and pressure fields in the voids between the rods. Based on the obtained flow field, the permeability values for different porosities from 0.2 to 0.9 and pore to throat size ratio values from 1.63 to 7.46 are computed. Then Kozeny constants for different porous media with various porosity and pore to throat size ratios are obtained and a relationship between Kozeny constant, porosity and pore to throat size ratio is constructed. The study reveals that the pore to throat size ratio is an important geometrical parameter that should be taken into account for deriving a correlation for permeability. The suggestion of a fixed value for Kozeny constant makes the application of Kozeny-Carman permeability equation too narrow for a very specific porous medium. However, it is possible to apply the Kozeny-Carman permeability equation for wide ranges of porous media with different geometrical parameters (various porosity, hydraulic diameter, particle size and aspect ratio) if Kozeny constant is a function of two parameters as porosity and pore to throat size ratios.
