In this study, a theoretical model is developed to simulate the biophysical events in the intracellular spaces considering the biphasic, i.e., poroelastic, behavior of the cytoplasm. Most previous studies in the cryobiology literature have modeled the biophysical response of cells to freezing assuming the spatial homogeneity of all physical properties within the intracellular space without considering fluid-structure interaction in both the intracellular and extracellular spaces. However, a few recent studies strongly indicate that spatial heterogeneity in the intracellular space occurs during freezing. We thus model the cytoplasm as a poroelastic material considering nanoscale fluid-structure interaction between the cytoskeleton and cytosol, and the effects of hierarchical fluid-structure interaction across the cell during freezing.

Nanomolar Selective G Quadruplex Ligands from One Pot Thermodynamic and Structural Studies of Azacyanines Engelhart, Aaron; Persil Çetinkol, Özgül; Nanjunda, Rupesh; Wılson, Davıd; Hud, Nıcholas (null; 2008-11-15) The observation that G-quadruplex structures exist in nucleic acid sequences associated with cancers has generated substantial interest in G quadruplexes as potential antineoplastics. The G quadruplex, with planar G tetrads, is an appealing nucleic acid drug target, as the G tetrad is structurally distinct from the Watson-Crick base pair. High-affinity G-quadruplex ligands have begun to show medicinal promise, although the connection between G-quadruplex binding and in vivo activity might not always be obvi...
Thermally assisted variable range hopping in Tl4S3Se crystal ZIQAN, ABDELHALIM M; QASRAWI, A F; MOHAMMAD, ABDULFTAH H; Hasanlı, Nızamı (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-6) In this study, a modified model for the application of the thermionic and hopping current conduction mechanisms in the presence of continuous mixed conduction is investigated, discussed, experimented and simulated. It is observed that there exists a contribution from the hopping conductivity to the total conduction even at temperature ranges where the thermionic emission is mainly dominant. The contribution weight of a specific mechanism at particular temperature range is estimated. In addition, a modifi...
NONLINEARITY, DISSIPATION AND TRANSPORT IN A MOLECULAR TRIMER GULEN, D; BASKAL, S (IOP Publishing, 1993-02-15) This study investigates the effects of dissipation on the quasi-particle transport in a degenerate molecular trimer in which the time evolution is described by the discrete non-linear Schrodinger equation. The standard procedure of introducing dissipation as a phase-destroying stochastic parameter through the corresponding Liouville-von Neumann equation is employed. A dosed second-order integrodifferential equation describing the time evolution of the site occupation probability difference is derived in the...
Computational simulation and realization of three-dimensional metamaterials with various exotic properties İbili, Hande; Ergül, Özgür Salih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this study, computational analysis and realization of three-dimensional metamaterial structures that induce negative and zero permittivity and/or permeability values in their host environment, as well as plasmonic nanoparticles that are used to design metamaterials at optical frequencies are presented. All these electromagnetic problems are challenging since effective material properties become negative/zero, while numerical solvers are commonly developed for ordinary positive parameters. In real life, t...
Application of non-convex rate dependent gradient plasticity to the modeling and simulation of inelastic microstructure development and inhomogeneous material behavior Klusemann, Benjamin; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M. G. D.; Svendsen, Bob (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) In this study, a two-dimensional rate-dependent gradient crystal plasticity model for non-convex energetic hardening is formulated and applied to the simulation of inelastic microstructure formation. In particular, non-convex hardening is modeled via a Landau-Devonshire potential for self-hardening and two interaction-matrix-based forms for latent hardening. The algorithmic formulation and the numerical implementation treats the displacement and the glide-system slips as the primary field variables. The num...
