Loi-Piergallini and Akbulut-Ozbagci showed that every compact Stein surface admits a Lefschetz fibration over the disk D-2 with bounded fibers. In this note we give a more intrinsic alternative proof of this result.

Lefschetz fibrations on 4-manifolds
Korkmaz, Mustafa (2009-01-01)
Lefschetz pencils and fibrations were introduced for studying topological properties of smooth complex projective varieties. More recently, as an application of Donaldson’s asymptotically holomorphic methods [13], Lefschetz pencils have been found on all symplectic manifolds [14], [15]. Conversely, Gompf showed that a 4-manifold admitting a Lefschetz pencil/fibration carries a symplectic structure [23], [24]. Since symplectic 4-manifolds play a prominent role in modern low-dimensional topology, the Donaldso...
A van der Waals density functional investigation of carboranethiol self-assembled monolayers on Au(111)
Yılmaz, Ayşen; Danışman, Mehmet Fatih (2016-05-14)
Isolated and full monolayer adsorption of various carboranethiol (C2B10H12S) isomers on the gold(111) surface has been investigated using both the standard and van der Waals density functional theory calculations. The effect of different molecular dipole moment orientations on the low energy adlayer geometries, the binding characteristics and the electronic properties of the self-assembled monolayers of these isomers has been studied. Specifically, the binding energy and work function changes associated wit...
Plasma surface modification of polyethylene with organosilicon and orcanotin monomers
Akovali, G; Rzaev, ZMO; Mamedov, DG (1996-03-01)
Plasmochemical modification of a polyethylene (PE) film surface by several selected silicon and tin containing monomers, such as vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES), hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS), 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS), tetraethylstannane (TES) and hexabutyldistannoxane (HBDS) were all examined. The structure and properties of plasma polymers obtained and plasma modified PE film surfaces were studied by FTIR, photoacoustic FTIR spectroscopies and by using surface energy and swelling measurements. It is ...

We compute the list of all minimal 2-infinite diagrams, which are cluster algebraic analogues of extended Dynkin graphs.
New dimension reduction technique for brain decoding
Afrasiyabi, Arman; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2015)
A new architecture for dimension reduction, analyzing and decoding the discriminative information, distributed in function Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data, is proposed. This architecture called Sparse Temporal Mesh Model (STMM) which consists of three phases with a visualization tool. In phase A, a univariate voxel selection method, based on the assumption that voxels are independent, is used to select the informative voxels among the whole brain voxels. For this purpose, one of feature selection met...
