Novel metallic clathrates of group-IV elements and their compounds in a dense hexagonal lattice
(American Chemical Society, 2019)Further, to recently introduced metallic NaSi6 and Si6 clathrate structures, we show that not only Si but also other group-IV elements, such as C, Ge, and Sn, can form stable and metallic clathrate structures with open ... -
Electrospun Fe2O3 entrenched SiO2 supported n and s dual incorporated TiO2 nanofibers derived from mixed polymeric template/surfactant: enriched mesoporosity within nanofibers, effective charge separation, and visible light photocatalysis activity
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The α-Fe2O3 promoted and SiO2 supported N and S dual incorporated TiO2 nanofibers (FeSiNST NFs) along with neat oxide NFs have been synthesized by electrospinning via sol–gel. The keen approach is that mixed polyvinylpyrrolidone ... -
When Syrian ‘girls’ meet Turkish ‘boys’: mapping gendered stories of mixed marriages
(Routledge, 2019-02)This article explores the gendered experiences and negotiations of Syrian refugee women throughout forced migration processes and the different strategies during family formation that both Turkish men and Syrian women ... -
The role of emotions during the Arab Spring in Tunisia and Egypt in light of repertoires
(Routledge, 2019-02)This article examines the role of emotions during the Arab Spring in Tunisia and Egypt in the context of collective level emotions in mobilizations. Emotions are understood as a catalyst whose mechanism of action is performed ... -
Electrically control amplified spontaneous emission in colloidal quantum dots
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2019)Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are highly promising materials for light amplification thanks to their efficient photoluminescence, tunable emission wavelength and low-cost synthesis. Unfortunately, CQDs are suffering from ... -
Highly stable multicrown heterostructures of type-II nanoplatelets for ultralow threshold optical gain
(American Chemical Society, 2019)Solution-processed type-II quantum wells exhibit outstanding optical properties, which make them promising candidates for light-generating applications including lasers and LEDs. However, they may suffer from poor colloidal ... -
N-cadherin mimetic peptide nanofiber system induces chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells
(American Chemical Society, 2019)Cadherins are vital for cell-to-cell interactions during tissue growth, migration, and differentiation processes. Both biophysical and biochemical inputs are generated upon cell-to-cell adhesions, which determine the fate ... -
Adenosine receptor signaling targets both PKA and epac pathways to polarize dendritic cells to a suppressive phenotype
(American Association of Immunologists, 2019)Extracellular adenosine accumulates in tumors and causes suppression of immune cells. Suppressive adenosine signaling is achieved through adenosine A2A and A2B receptors, which are Gs coupled, and their activation elevates ... -
Married to Anatolian Tigers: business masculinities, relationalities, and limits to empowerment
(Routledge, 2019-09)This paper examines business masculinities and relationalities of empowerment in the everyday life experiences of male entrepreneurs and wives of entrepreneurs in three urban centers in Turkey: Gaziantep, Konya and İzmir. ... -
The Turkish presidential elections of 24 June 2018
(Routledge, 2019-07)On 24 June 2018 Turkish voters headed to the polls to elect a new president and parliament after President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s decision to call for snap elections eighteen months earlier than scheduled. The election was ... -
Killing competitive authoritarianism softly: the 2019 local elections in Turkey
(Routledge, 2019-11)On 31 March 2019 Turkish voters ended the Islamist local governance in the country’s largest cities after 25 years and handed the ruling AKP its most serious electoral defeat since its rise to power in 2002. The article ... -
Piecing together the ‘Turkish Puzzle’ on female labour force participation: comparative insights from southern Europe
(Routledge, 2019-03)Southern Europe has seen remarkable turnarounds in female labour force participation (FLFP) over the past four decades. In Turkey, however, scores of women have yet to join the labour force. To address this ‘Turkish puzzle’, ... -
Molecular encapsulation of cinnamaldehyde within cyclodextrin inclusion complex electrospun nanofibers: fast-dissolution, enhanced water solubility, high temperature stability, and antibacterial activity of cinnamaldehyde
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The electrospinning of nanofibers (NFs) of cinnamaldehyde inclusion complexes (ICs) with two different hydroxypropylated cyclodextrins (CDs), hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HP-γ-CD), ... -
Coarse-grained electrostatic model including ion-pairing equilibrium that explains DC and AC X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements on ionic liquids
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The dynamics of the electrochemical double layer in ionic liquids can be experimentally probed by a number of experimental techniques. Earlier, we reported on the results of an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigation ... -
Molecular and continuum perspectives on intermediate and flow reversal regimes in electroosmotic transport
(American Chemical Society, 2019)Electroosmotic slip flows in the Debye–Hückel regime were previously investigated using molecular dynamics and continuum transport perspectives ( J. Phys. Chem. C 2018, 122, 9699). This continuing work focuses on distinct ... -
The effects of electricity price changes on prices of other goods and services – evidence from Turkey
(Routledge, 2019-08)This article employs a Factor-Augmented Vector Autoregressive model to assess the effects of electricity price innovations on prices of other goods and services. Using monthly series from Turkish Domestic Producer Price ... -
Three ideas of the university
(Routledge, 2019-03)What is a university? In the nineteenth century John Henry Newman famously spoke of “the idea of a university.” This phrase has dominated all discussions of the nature of the university since. Most contemporary writers are ... -
Characterization and stability of Janus TiXY (X/Y = S, Se, and Te) monolayers
(American Chemical Society, 2019)The realization of Janus MoSSe monolayers has brought two-dimensional (2D), ternary transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) into focus. The addition of a third element can lead to superior properties, hence extensive ... -
Honesty and inquiry: W.K. Clifford’s ethics of belief
(Routledge, 2019-08)W.K. Clifford is widely known for his emphatic motto that it is wrong, always everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence. In fact, that dictum and Clifford’s condemnation of a scheming ... -
AC electrowetting modulation of low-volatile liquids probed by XPS: dipolar vs ionic screening
