In this study, the effect of microwounding by particle bombardment and the coupling of vacuum infiltration to Agrobacteritim-mediated transformation, on the efficiency of transient GUS expression of cotyledonary node tissues were investigated. In each experimental set with any Agrobacterium/pia&mid couple, five different treatments were applied to compare the efficiency of integrated bombardment-infiltration system to reference treatments. Throughout the study also the efficiencies of four strains, LBA4404, EHA105, C58C1, KYRT1 and two binary plasmids, pGUSINT and HIpTJK136 on transient GUS expression of cotyledonary node explants were compared. Although differ upon inoculation of different strain/binary plasmid couples, overall transient expression appeared to be reduced when tissues were microwounded. Furthermore, no significant (p>Q.0S) effect of the vacuum infiltration was observed. Therefore, efficiency of another wounding method, mechanical injury (poking by a needle) of the cotyledonary petiole axil region was investigated. Usage of the most efficient strain/plasmid couple, which is determined to be KYRTl:pTJK136, and mechanical wounding of the cotyledonary petiole axil region of the explants prior to Agrobacterium inoculation produced a number of transformed shoots, which show stable GUS expression in a chimeric manner. Highly regenerable nature of the cotyledonary node explants and application of the above mentioned transformation protocol seem to increase the probability of obtaining transgenic plants in lentil.

Bayraç, Abdullah Tahir; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biotechnology (2004)
In this study, optimization of a transformation and regeneration system via indirect organogenesis in cotyledonary petiole tissue of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) was investigated. Eight different medium types differing in their plant growth regulator compositions were employed to examine the callus induction potency of cotyledonary petiole. Except two, all other tested medium yielded more than 80% callus induction. Nine different medium types were studied to test the potencies of callus structures for sho...
Computation of transient thermal stresses in elastic-plastic tubes: Effect of coupling and temperature-dependent physical properties
Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (2002-06-01)
The objective of this study is to obtain the transient solution of the thermoelastic-plastic deformation of internal heat-generating tubes by considering the thermomechanical coupling effect and the temperature-dependent physical properties of the material. The previously developed steady-state model describing the elastic-plastic behavior of the tubes is modified to obtain the transient solution. The propagation of the elastic-plastic interface for a given heat load is obtained; and the corresponding stres...
Quantitative analysis of nonlinear dynamics of quantum light transmission in strongly coupled quantum dot-cavity systems
Tugen, Alperen; Kocaman, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01)
We compared transmission spectra of coupled high-Q cavity with quantum dot (QD) systems in the strong coupling regime with Input-Output Formalism (IOF) and Incoherent Pumping Mechanism (IPM) based on Lindblad master equation approach. The peak transmission of Dipole Induced Transparency (DIT) together with its full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) are enquired for detailed analysis. Both methods exhibit the same vacuum Rabi splitting in on-resonant case, in contrast, the peak of DIT is estimated smaller between 50...
Application of Several Boundary Conditions for Bi-anisotropic Metamaterial Structures and Investigation of Electromagnetic Response
Uçkun, Savaş(2015-09-04)
—The effects of electromagnetic coupling on constitutive S-Parameters of bi-anisotropically designed metamaterial (MM) structure with several boundary conditions (PEC, PMC, UC) are analyzed. It is disclosed that in addition to the main electromagnetic coupling effect on the constitutive parameters of resonating MM structure, boundary conditions have an influence on this coupling effect because of the different imaging properties of the boundaries. The effects of electric and magnetic excitations on SRR and ...

Savari, Chiya; Külah, Görkem; Sotudeh-Gharebagh, Rahmat; Mostoufi, Navid; KÖKSAL, MURAT (2016-07-06)
The agglomeration of particles in a conical spouted bed was investigated using a recurrence plot (RP) and recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) of the pressure fluctuations (PFs) and acoustic emission (AE) signals. Experiments were carried out in a 45 degrees conical spouted bed with sugar particles (d(P) = 720 mu m; rho(p) = 1580 kg/m(3)). Water was sprayed incrementally into the bed to produce agglomerates during the operation. Several recurrence quantification parameters were calculated during the agg...
