Nerve guidance channels (NGCs) promote cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions occurring within the nanoscale. However, studies focusing on the effects of nanophase topography on neural cell functions are limited, and mostly concentrated on the sub-micron level (>100 nm) surface topography. Therefore, the aim of this study was to fabricate <100 nm sized structures on poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) films used in NGC applications to assess the effects of nanophase topography on neural cell functions. For this purpose, nanopit surface arrays were fabricated on PLGA surfaces via replica molding method. The results showed that neural cell proliferation increased up to 65% and c-fos protein expression increased up to 76% on PLGA surfaces having nanophase surface arrays compared to the control samples. It was observed that neural cells spread to a greater extend and formed more neurite extensions on the nanoarrayed surfaces compared to the control samples. These results were correlated with increased hydrophilicity and roughness of the nanophase PLGA surfaces, and point toward the promise of using nanoarrayed surfaces in NGC applications.

Quantitative analysis of nonlinear dynamics of quantum light transmission in strongly coupled quantum dot-cavity systems Tugen, Alperen; Kocaman, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01) We compared transmission spectra of coupled high-Q cavity with quantum dot (QD) systems in the strong coupling regime with Input-Output Formalism (IOF) and Incoherent Pumping Mechanism (IPM) based on Lindblad master equation approach. The peak transmission of Dipole Induced Transparency (DIT) together with its full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) are enquired for detailed analysis. Both methods exhibit the same vacuum Rabi splitting in on-resonant case, in contrast, the peak of DIT is estimated smaller between 50...
Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis Versus Ex Vivo Strain Gauge Measurements on Immediately Loaded Implants Eser, Atilim; AKÇA, KIVANÇ; Eckert, Steven; Cehreli, Murat Cavit (2009-05-01) Purpose: To evaluate the level of agreement between nonlinear finite element stress analysis (NL-FEA) and ex vivo strain gauge analysis (EV-SGA) on immediately loaded implants. Materials and Methods: Four 4.1-mm-diameter, 12-mm-long implants were placed bilaterally into the lateral and first premolar regions of completely edentulous maxillae of four human cadavers. Two-element 90-degree rosette strain gauges were bonded to the labial cortical bone around the implants, and 100 N maximal load was applied over...
STATISTICAL MODELING OF THE GEOMETRIC ERROR IN CARDIAC ELECTRICAL IMAGING Aydin, Umit; Serinağaoğlu Doğrusöz, Yeşim (2009-07-01) Kalman filter approach provides a natural way to include the spatio-temporal prior information in cardiac electrical imaging. This study focuses on the performance of Kalman filter approach with geometric errors present in inverse Electrocardiography (ECG) problem. The geometric errors considered here are the wrong determination of the heart's size and location. In addition to Kalman filtering, we also compare the performances of Tikhonov regularization and Bayesian MAP estimation when geometric errors are ...
Organic/Organic Heterointerface Engineering to Boost Carrier Injection in OLEDs Fathollahi, Mohammadreza; Ameri, Mohsen; Mohajerani, Ezeddin; Mehrparvar, Ebrahim; Babaei, Mohammadrasoul (2017-02-01) We investigate dynamic formation of nanosheet charge accumulations by heterointerface engineering in double injection layer (DIL) based organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Our experimental results show that the device performance is considerably improved for the DIL device as the result of heterointerface injection layer (HIIL) formation, in comparison to reference devices, namely, the current density is doubled and even quadrupled and the turn-on voltage is favorably halved, to 3.7 V, which is promising...
Coaxial electrospinning of composite mats comprised of core/shell poly(methyl methacrylate)/silk fibroin fibers for tissue engineering applications Atila, Deniz; HASIRCI, Vasıf Nejat; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2022-04-01) © 2022 Elsevier LtdMimicking extracellular matrix (ECM) of native tissue by tissue-engineered constructs is critical to induce regeneration of the damaged site. In this study, coaxial electrospinning of core/shell poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/silk fibroin (SF) fibers was optimized for the first time to provide ECM-like microenvironment for new tissue formation by utilization of a new collector design for obtaining homogeneously deposited mats from the collector screen. SF-shell was produced to increase ...
