Assessment of effects of multi drug resistance on dielectric properties of K562 leukemic cells using electrorotation
Bahrieh, Garsha; Erdem, Murat; Ozgur, Ebru; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (2014-01-01)
In this study, dielectric characterization of multidrug resistant (MDR) K562 human leukemia cells was carried out using a MEMS based electrorotation (ER) device with 3D electrodes. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) dependent MDR causes variation in cell dielectric properties (cell interior conductivity (sigma(i)), membrane capacitance (C-m) and total effective membrane conductance (G(m)*)) due to overexpression of P-gp, which modulates the activity of membrane-bound Cl- channels. Different cell populations resistant to...
Design of a Novel THz Sensor for Structural Health Monitoring Applications
Pavia, J. P.; Ribeiro, M. A.; Sarikaya, C. K.; Akbar, D.; Altan, Hakan; Souto, N. (2019-01-01)
In this paper, we propose a study on the characterization, design and simulation of a THz sensor for applications in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The proposed sensor is assembled using two frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) based on metamaterial wire resonators. We present a theoretical model to describe its electromagnetics which is used not only to understand the physical principles underlying the functioning of the sensor but also to determine a set of optimized parameters for its operation in th...
Evaluation of structural changes induced by high hydrostatic pressure in Leuconostoc mesenteroides
Kaletunc, G; Lee, J; Alpas, Hami; Bozoglu, F (American Society for Microbiology, 2004-02-01)
Scanning electron microcopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to evaluate structural changes in Leuconostoc mesenteroides cells as a function of high-hydrostatic-pressure treatment. This bacterium usually grows in chains of cells, which were increasingly dechained at elevated pressures. High-pressure treatments at 250 and 500 MPa also caused changes in the external surface and internal structure of cells. Dechaining and blister formation on ...
Application of sar techniques in an ultrasound testbed
Solak, Güven; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
In this thesis, an ultrasound testbed is designed in order to practice the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) techniques. The thesis work is built on the fundamentals of SAR theory. In this respect, four different methods for the reconstruction of SAR image are considered. The ultrasonic testbed is composed of a mobile vehicle where the ultrasound transmitter and receiver are mounted. An analog circuit is designed in order to condition the transmitted and received signals. The receiving signal is processed in a...
Direct observation of the strength of plasmon-longitudinal optical phonon interaction in n-type GaAs
Altan, Hakan; Matten, D.; Alfano, R. R. (AIP Publishing, 2006-07-31)
The screening of longitudinal optical phonons by plasmons is investigated by time-resolved visible pump-mid-infrared probe transmission measurements in a series of light to highly doped n-type GaAs wafers. The reduced relaxation of photogenerated carriers is strongly correlated to the coupling between longitudinal optical phonons and background plasmons as suggested by the variation of the phonon strength over the doping range. The critical plasmon density at which the optical phonons were effectively scree...
