This paper advances the design of stimuli-responsive materials based on colloidal particles dispersed in liquid crystals (LCs). Specifically, thin films of colloid-in-liquid crystal (CLC) gels undergo easily visualized ordering transitions in response to reversible and irreversible (enzymatic) biomolecular interactions occurring at the aqueous interfaces of the gels. In particular, LC ordering transitions can propagate across the entire thickness of the gels. However, confinement of the LC to small domains with lateral sizes of approximate to 10 m does change the nature of the anchoring transitions, as compared to films of pure LC, due to the effects of confinement on the elastic energy stored in the LC. The effects of confinement are also observed to cause the response of individual domains of the LC within the CLC gel to vary significantly from one to another, indicating that manipulation of LC domain size and shape can provide the basis of a general and facile method to tune the response of these LC-based physical gels to interfacial phenomena. Overall, the results presented in this paper establish that CLC gels offer a promising approach to the preparation of self-supporting, LC-based stimuli-responsive materials.

Kinetic analyses of the effects of temperature and light intensity on growth, hydrogenm production and organic acid utilization by rhodobacter capsulatus
Sevinç, Pelin; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biotechnology (2010)
Effects of temperature and light intensity on photofermentative hydrogen production by Rhodobacter capsulatus DSM1710 by use of acetic and lactic acids as substrates were studied. Experiments were conducted at 20, 30 and 38oC incubator temperatures under light intensities in the 1500 – 7000 lux range. pH of the medium and quantity of hydrogen forming together with quantity of biomass, and concentrations of acetic, lactic, formic, butyric and propionic acids in the medium were determined periodically. Growth...
Drift Time Measurement in the ATLAS Liquid Argon Electromagnetic Calorimeter using Cosmic Muons
Aad, G.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-12-01)
The ionization signals in the liquid argon of the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter are studied in detail using cosmic muons. In particular, the drift time of the ionization electrons is measured and used to assess the intrinsic uniformity of the calorimeter gaps and estimate its impact on the constant term of the energy resolution. The drift times of electrons in the cells of the second layer of the calorimeter are uniform at the level of 1.3% in the barrel and 2.8% in the endcaps. This leads to an estimat...
Centrality dependence of dihadron correlations and azimuthal anisotropy harmonics in PbPb collisions at root s(NN)=2.76 TeV
Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-05-01)
Measurements from the CMS experiment at the LHC of dihadron correlations for charged particles produced in PbPb collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV are presented. The results are reported as a function of the particle transverse momenta (p(T)) and collision centrality over a broad range in relative pseudorapidity (Delta eta) and the full range of relative azimuthal angle (Delta phi). The observed two-dimensional correlation structure in Delta eta and Delta phi is characterised ...
Quantum-chemical treatment of the linoleic acid molecule and two of its conjugated isomers
Kurban, Sevil; ERKOÇ, Figen; Erkoç, Şakir (Wiley, 2009-10-01)
The structural, vibrational and electronic properties of die linoleic acid molecule and two of its conjugated isomers were investigated theoretically by performing the molecular mechanics (MM+ force field), the semi-empirical self-consistent-field molecular-orbital (PM3), and the density functional theory (B3LYP) calculations. The geometries of the considered molecules were optimized; the vibrational dynamics and the electronic properties were calculated in their ground states in the gas phase. It was found...
SILICA SYNTHESIS & COATING OF QUANTUM DOTS IN DROPLET BASED MICROREACTORS
Ozkan, Alican; Keleştemur, Yusuf; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Erdem, E. Yegan (2015-01-01)
We present a microfluidic reactor that utilizes meandering microchannel shape to mix reagents inside droplets in a carrier fluid to synthesize silica and silica coated nanoparticles. Meandering channels decrease mixing time due to reduced diffusion lengths. Moreover; droplet-based flow provides uniform reaction times due to the circulating flow profile inside droplets as opposed to parabolic flow profile in straight channels. Before fabricating our device, we have simulated the mixing performance of droplet...
