Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging (HMMDI) method employs concurrent tissue excitation with focused ultrasound radiation force and microwaves to obtain information on malignancy, based on the dielectric and mechanical properties of the tissues. In this study, we analyze the effect of dielectric and elastic contrasts between a small (tumor) inclusion (3 mm) and the surrounding normal tissue on the HMMDI signal as functions of inclusion position and vibration frequency (from 10 Hz to 95 Hz) using simulations. To solve the forward problem of HMMDI, we developed a Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) based simulation method, and analyzed the received HMMDI signal for low to medium dielectric contrast (1:1.17, 1:2.6, 1:3.5) and elastic contrast (1:1.5, 1:2.5, 1:5) levels. DDA solver decreased the simulation time by a factor of 146 compared to the Finite Difference Time Domain method and facilitated the extensive number of simulations required for the analysis. The results of this study provide useful information for the development of the HMMDI method as a tool for breast cancer detection in dense tissues.

The Effect of Thickness and Doping on the Nonlinear Absorption Behaviour of IIIA-VIA Group Amorphous Semiconductor Thin Films Kurum, Ulas; YAĞLIOĞLU, HALİME GÜL; YÜKSEK, MUSTAFA; ELMALI, Ayhan; Ates, Aytunc; KARABULUT, MEVLÜT; Mamedov, Gasan M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı (2011-06-30) The nonlinear optical absorption of InSe, GaSe and GaxIn1-xSe amorphous films with varying thickness and doping has been studied by open-aperture Z-scan experiment with 4 ns and 65 ps pulse durations at 1064 nm wavelength and femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Our results show that the dopant and film thickness (from 20 nm to 104 nm) results in switching from saturable absorption to nonlinear absorption for equal input intensities. This behaviour is attributed to increasing localized defect states with in...
The effect of antenna in the forward model of near field microwave imaging systems Dalkilic, Akin; Alatan, Lale (2019-07-01) A fast and accurate forward problem solver for near-field microwave imaging systems is developed by considering the electric field intensity as the measured quantity. Since the antenna port voltage values will be the real measured quantity in practical applications, the effects of transmitting/receiving antennas in the forward problem model is investigated.
The role of amorphous precursor in phase selection hierarchy in marginal metallic glasses YILDIRIM, CİHAN; KUTSAL, M.; OTT, R. T.; BESSER, M. F.; KRAMER, M. J.; Kalay, Yunus Eren (Elsevier BV, 2016-12-15) The solid state amorphous structure and devitrification products of Al90Tb10 alloys produced by Cu block meltspinning and magnetron sputtering were investigated by a combined study of differential scanning calorimetry, in-situ X-ray diffraction and conventional transmission electron microscopy. The as-prepared specimens were found to be fully amorphous according to the electron and X-ray diffraction. The thermal analysis and in-situ XRD analyses of the amorphous samples having the same chemistry but differe...
The spin effects on electronic, optical and mechanical properties of new ferromagnetic chalcopyrite: YMnS2 Yıldız, Buğra; Erkisi, Aytac; Sürücü, Gökhan (2022-05-15) In this study, magnetic and electronic nature, optical behavior, and elasticity properties of YMnS2 compound have been investigated by using density functional theory (DFT). The compound belongs to the chalcopyrite family having tetragonal crystal structure with 122 (I-42d) space group. Firstly, the optimization process has been done for ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and paramagnetic orders to find most stable magnetic order and the formation energies have been determined. Negative formation energies pr...
The Effect of Labeled/Unlabeled Prior Information for Masseter Segmentation Tabar, Yousef Rezaei; Ulusoy, İlkay (Hindawi Limited, 2013-01-01) Several segmentation methods are implemented and applied to segment the facial masseter tissue from magnetic resonance images. The common idea for all methods is to take advantage of prior information from different MR images belonging to different individuals in segmentation of a test MR image. Standard atlas-based segmentation methods and probabilistic segmentation methods based on Markov random field use labeled prior information. In this study, a new approach is also proposed where unlabeled prior infor...
