Universality of dissipative self-assembly from quantum dots to human cells
(Nature Research, 2020)An important goal of self-assembly research is to develop a general methodology applicable to almost any material, from the smallest to the largest scales, whereby qualitatively identical results are obtained independently ... -
Two dimensional ruthenium carbide: structural and electronic features
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)The design and realization of novel 2D materials and their functionalities have been a focus of research inspired by the successful synthesis of graphene and many other 2D materials. In this study, in view of first principles ... -
Plasmon-enhanced fluorescence in gold nanorod-quantum dot coupled systems
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2020)Plasmon–exciton coupling is of great importance to many optical devices and applications. One of the coupling manifestations is plasmon-enhanced fluorescence. Although this effect is demonstrated in numerous experimental ... -
Mandarin and English adults’ cue-weighting of lexical stress
(International Speech Communication Association, 2020)Listeners segment speech based on the rhythm of their native language(s) (e.g., stress- vs. syllable-timed, tone vs. non-tone) [1,2]. In English, the perception of speech rhythm relies on analyzing auditory cues pertinent ... -
A highly potent TACC3 inhibitor as a novel anticancer drug candidate
(NLM (Medline), 2020)TACC3, a transforming acidic coiled-coil (TACC) family member, is frequently upregulated in a broad spectrum of cancers, including breast cancer. It plays critical roles in protecting microtubule stability and centrosome ... -
Optical trapping of microparticles and yeast cells at ultra-low intensity by intracavity nonlinear feedback forces
(SPIE, 2020)In standard optical tweezers optical forces arise from the interaction of a tightly focused laser beam with a microscopic particle. The particle is always outside the laser cavity and the incoming beam is not affected by ... -
Exploiting linearity of modular multiplication
(Springer, 2020)The XOR Open image in new window and the addition ⊞⊞ operations have been widely used as building blocks for many cryptographic primitives. These operations and the multiplication ⊙⊙ operation are successively used in the ... -
Potpourri: an epistasis test prioritization algorithm via diverse SNP selection
(Springer, 2020)Genome-wide association studies explain a fraction of the underlying heritability of genetic diseases. Investigating epistatic interactions between two or more loci help closing this gap. Unfortunately, sheer number of ... -
Investigation of effect of design and operating parameters on acoustophoretic particle separation via 3D device-level simulations
(Springer, 2020)In the present study, a 3D device-level numerical model is implemented via finite element method to assess the effects of design and operating parameters on the separation performance of a microscale acoustofluidic device. ... -
Richard Haydocke’s inventions and Jacobean religious neutrality
(University of North Carolina Press, 2020)This article examines documents surrounding King James’s 1605 interrogation of Richard Haydocke, a Puritan famous for giving sermons in his sleep. I show that the king wanted to hold Haydocke responsible for statements ... -
Varieties of self-realization: art, work, and the self in late Victorian England
(University of Chicago Press, 2020)A wide body of scholarship agrees that the “aesthetic” writers of the late nineteenth century offered a new conception of the self that challenged Victorian norms and proclaimed a new theory of freedom. Murray Pittock for ... -
4-generated pseudo symmetric monomial curves with not Cohen–Macaulay tangent cones
(TUBITAK, 2020)In this article, standard bases of some toric ideals associated to 4-generated pseudo symmetric semigroups with not Cohen-Macaulay tangent cones at the origin are computed. As the tangent cones are not Cohen-Macaulay, ... -
Catalytic activity of novel thermoplastic/cellulose-Au nanocomposites prepared by cryomilling
(TUBITAK, 2020)Due to environmental concerns, increasing attention has been focused on the application and preparation of biobased polymers and their blends. In this study, cellulose, the most spread biopolymer on Earth, was used in the ... -
Controlling a launch vehicle at exoatmospheric flight conditions via adaptive control allocation
(Turkiye Klinikleri, 2020)The focus of this paper is the control of a reusable launch vehicle at exoatmospheric flight conditions, in the presence of actuator effectiveness uncertainty. Since during exoatmospheric flight, dynamic pressure is ... -
A stunt, a shut-down, and heavy diplomatic propaganda: the story of Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s penetration to the Turkish market
(University of Bucharest, 2020)This article analyzes Curtiss-Wright Aerospace Industry’s inflow process to the Turkish market in the early 1930s. In these years, aviation was a quite significant industry that contributed economic, military, and political ... -
Resting-state network dysconnectivity in ADHD: a system-neuroscience-based meta-analysis
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)Objectives: Neuroimaging studies report altered resting-state functional connectivity in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) across multiple brain systems. However, there is inconsistency among individual ... -
Mental time travel and disjunctivism
(Springer, 2020)The paper discusses radical constructivism about episodic memory as developed by Kourken Michaelian under the name of “simulationism”, a view that equates episodic memory with mental time travel. An alternative, direct ... -
A systematic study on Au-capped Si nanowhiskers for size-dependent improved biosensing applications
(Springer, 2020)Reducing the distance between the fluorescence molecules and noble metal (resonant) nanostructures is known to advance the process of electromagnetic coupling and energy transfer, which in return yields fluorescence ... -
Balance in resource allocation problems: a changing reference approach
(Springer, 2020)Fairness is one of the primary concerns in resource allocation problems, especially in settings which are associated with public welfare. Using a total benefit-maximizing approach may not be applicable while distributing ...
