Yigit Bener . s Missing Stones (Eksik Taslar, 2001) traces, through Devrim's dig into his past, his father's, Erdinc's life after the military cue in 1980 in Turkey and how his utopian ideals turn his life into a nightmare when he discovers that what he has fought for so far are formulated on a will to pox cr rather than absolute ideals. Erdinc cannot go back to his previous life as all the previous parameters were shattered irreparably. He faces a social and intellectual dislocation. After Devrim contacts Erdinc who is in seclusion on a small island, through his role as a father, it seems, Erdinc will reposition himself in his culture. This time the father-son relationship is reversed: through his son he will forge new links to hold things together. The novel puts Erdinc's troubled relationship with the discourse he lives in and his search for a new operating master signifier(s) right at its center and it is for this reason that this essay seeks to give a Lacanian hearing to Erdinc's sense of rootlessness and his abortive attempts to escape it, and to explore the process he parts political company with his political network and how he justifies his political dissociation using Lacanian ideas of symbolic narcissistic gratification, ego ideal and jouissance as conceptual tools.

Protein interaction approaches to assign a function for an estrogen responsive gene protein: CXXC5 Muyan, Mesut (null; 2017-06-24) Estradiol (E2), the main estrogen hormone in circulation, is involved in the physiological regulation of many organs and tissues, including mammary tissue. E2 also plays a critical role in the initiation and development of breast cancer. Effects of E2 on cells are mediated by estrogen receptor (ER), which is a ligand-dependent transcription factor. Upon binding to E2, ER regulates the expression of target genes through genomic signaling pathways that result in alterations of cellular respo...
Using a self-reporting tool to capture design student’s experience Fındık Önal, Nur; Şener Pedgley, Bahar (null; 2019-07-09) Considering the continuous design activities that are performed throughout design projects, design students go through several stages of decision making. Sometimes they experience problematic situations in between consecutive supervisory meetings. In order to provide better guidance, it is important for supervisors to understand students' process in between these meetings. There are available tools used in fields like education and healthcare in order to monitor an individual's daily life in relation t...
A stable carbonyl-pyrazine-metal(0) complex: Synthesis and characterization of cis-tetracarbonylpyrazinetrimethylphosphitetungsten(0) Alper, Fatma; Kayran, Ceyhan; Özkar, Saim (2006-06-01) Pentacarbonylpyrazinetungsten(0), (CO)(5)W(pyz), is not stable in solution in polar solvents such as acetone or dichloromethane and undergoes conversion to a bimetallic complex, (CO)(5)W(pyz)W(CO)(5) plus free pyrazine. These three species exist at equilibrium. Using the quantitative H-1 NMR spectroscopy, the equilibrium constant could be determined to be K-eq = (5.9 +/- 0.8) x 10(-2) at 25 degrees C. Introducing a second pyrazine ligand into the molecule does not stabilize the complex, as CiS-W(CO)(4)(pyz)...
The Pb-12(2-) and Pb-10(2-) zintl ions and the M@Pb-12(2-) and M@Pb-10(2-) cluster series where M = Ni, Pd, Pt Nalbant Esentürk, Emren; Eichhorn, Bryan (2006-07-19) Ethylenediamine (en) solutions of K4Pb9 react with toluene solutions of ML4 (M = Pt, Pd, L = PPh3; M = Ni, L-2 = COD) and 2,2,2-crypt to give M@Pb-12(2-) cluster anions (M = Pt (1), Pd (2), Ni (3)) as the [K(2,2,2-crypt)](+) salts in low (Ni) to good (Pt) yields. The ions have near perfect I-h point symmetry and have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, Pb-207 NMR and LDI-TOF mass spectrometry studies. For M = Ni, the primary product formed is the D-4d Ni@Pb-10(2-) cluster that has also been structurall...
Effect of substituents in sulfoxides on the enhancement of thermoelectric properties of PEDOT:PSS: experimental and modelling evidence Zhu, Qiang; Yıldırım, Erol; Wang, Xizu; Kyaw, Aung Ko Ko; Tang, Tao; Soo, Xiang Yun Debbie; Wong, Zicong Marvin; Wu, Gang; Yang, Shuo-Wang; Xu, Jianwei (2020-06-01) Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), being the most popular conductive polymer, has been doped with various additives with the aim of improving its thermoelectric performance. Among all additives, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been widely used for various treatments. In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of aliphatic- and aromatic-substituted sulfoxides as dopants to improve the thermoelectric properties of PEDOT:PSS. It was found that the substituents in the sul...
