    Looking for Stability in Chaos: A Scoping Review of Relational Turbulence Theory from a Dyadic Perspective
    (Wiley, 2025-11-21) Lagap, Adar Cem; Gungor, Duygu
    The current scoping review overviews articles that apply the relational turbulence model/theory to guide the implementation of actor-partner interdependence modeling within a structural equation modeling framework. Sixteen studies are examined in the final synthesis of the review. Research themes center on communication strategies and social connection, dispositional and situational factors, and, lastly, mental and physical health. Current work illustrates that scholars are primarily interested in sources of relational uncertainty and its intrapersonal and interpersonal consequences. Sources of partner influence and their implications for relational dynamics are also examined across the synthesized studies. Overall, more actor effects than partner effects were statistically significant. Commercial statistical programs appear preferred for analyzing dyadic data, and assessments of fit indices are reported to evaluate proposed analytic models in this body of research. Methodological and theoretical limitations are highlighted, and implications for future research are discussed.

    Uncovering Nanoclusters in Amorphous AlN: An Ab Initio Study
    (Wiley, 2014-12-22) Durandurdu, Murat
    Amorphous AlN (a-AlN) is modeled by melt-and-quench technique using ab initio molecular dynamic simulations. For the first time, three-dimensional hexagonal-like nanoclusters embedded in amorphous matrix are proposed for a-AlN. The model is chemically ordered and dominantly fourfold coordinated, but its short-range order is partially different from the crystalline morphology due to the nanoclusters. The model is semiconducting with a theoretical band gap of 1.7eV.

    Two Successive Amorphous-to Phase Transformations in TiO2
    (Wiley, 2017-05-22) Durandurdu, Murat
    Based on constant pressure ab initio simulations, we propose, for the first time, two successive amorphous-to-amorphous phase transformations for TiO2. The first one is a gradual phase transformation from a low-density amorphous phase to a high-density amorphous phase, whereas the second one is a first-order phase transformation from the high-density amorphous phase to a very high-density amorphous phase. The low-density amorphous to high-density amorphous phase change is irreversible, whereas the high-density amorphous to very high-density amorphous phase transformation is reversible. The high-density amorphous and very high-density amorphous phases consist of differently coordinated configurations. The sevenfold and ninefold-coordinated arrangements formed in amorphous TiO2 under pressure are similar to the main building motif of the baddeleyite and cotunnite polymorphs of TiO2, respectively, while the eightfold-coordinated configuration is different from the local structure of the cubic TiO2 phase. The electronic structure calculations suggest that both dense amorphous phases present a semiconducting character with a band gap energy less than that of the original low-density amorphous phase.

    Tetrahedral Amorphous Boron Nitride: A Hard Material
    (Wiley, 2019-09-25) Durandurdu, Murat
    We generate a tetrahedrally coordinated amorphous boron nitride (BN) model by means of first principles molecular dynamics calculations and report its mechanical and electrical properties in detail. The amorphous configuration is almost free from chemical disorder and consists of about 20% coordination defects, similar to tetrahedral (diamond-like) amorphous carbon. Its theoretical band gap energy is about 2.0 eV, less than 4.85 eV estimated for cubic BN. The bulk modulus and Vickers hardness of tetrahedral amorphous BN are computed as 206 GPa and 28-35 GPa, respectively. Based on these findings, we propose that tetrahedral noncrystalline BN can serve as electronic and hard materials as well.

    Sustainability Assessment of Denim Fabric Made of PET Fiber and Recycled Fiber From Postconsumer PET Bottles Using LCA and LCC Approach With the EDAS Method
    (Wiley, 2024-11-01) Fidan, Fatma Sener; Aydogan, Emel Kizilkaya; Uzal, Nigmet
    The textile industry is under pressure to adopt sustainable production methods because its contribution to global warming is expected to rise by 50% by 2030. One solution is to increase the use of recycled raw material. The use of recycled raw material must be considered holistically, including its environmental and economic impacts. This study examined eight scenarios for sustainable denim fabric made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber, conventional PET fiber, and cotton fiber. The evaluation based on the distance from average solution (EDAS) multicriteria decision-making method was used to rank scenarios according to their environmental and economic impacts, which are assessed using life cycle assessment and life cycle costing. Allocation, a crucial part of evaluating the environmental impact of recycled products, was done using cut-off and waste value. Life cycle assessments reveal that recycled PET fiber has lower freshwater ecotoxicity and fewer eutrophication and acidification impacts. Cotton outperformed PET fibers in human toxicity. Only the cut-off method reduces potential global warming with recycled PET. These findings indicated that recycled raw-material life cycle assessment requires allocation. Life cycle cost analysis revealed that conventional PET is less economically damaging than cotton and recycled PET. The scenarios were ranked by environmental and economic impacts using EDAS. This ranking demonstrated that sustainable denim fabric production must consider both economic and environmental impacts. Integr Environ Assess Manag 2024;00:1-19. (c) 2024 The Author(s).

    Semiconducting Copolymers Based on Meso-Substituted BODIPY for Inverted Organic Solar Cells and Field-Effect Transistors
    (Wiley, 2017-12-11) Ozdemir, Mehmet; Kim, Sang Woo; Kim, Hyungsug; Kim, Myung-Gil; Kim, Bumjoon J.; Kim, Choongik; Usta, Hakan
    The synthesis, physicochemical, and optoelectronic properties of a new class of low band-gap (approximate to 1.3 eV) donor-acceptor copolymers based on a highly electron-deficient meso-5-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophene-substituted BODIPY pi-unit are presented. The polymeric solutions exhibit strong aggregation-dependent excitonic properties indicating the presence of enhanced pi-coherence as a result of strong interchain interactions. The polymeric semiconductor thin films prepared by spin coating show isotropic nodule-like grains with essentially no ordering in the out-of-plane direction. Field-effect hole mobilities of 0.005 cm(2) V-1.s(-1) are observed in bottom-gate top-contact organic field-effect transistors, and inverted bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics employing the polymer:PC71BM active layer exhibit excellent power conversion efficiencies of 6.2% with a short-circuit current of 16.6 mA cm(-2). As far as it is known, this is a record high value achieved to date for a boron-containing donor polymer in the photovoltaic literature indicating a significant enhancement in power conversion efficiency (>3-4 times). The findings clearly present that rationally designed BODIPY-based donor-acceptor copolymers can be a key player in photovoltaic applications.

    Rural Feet Voting of Leisure Explorers
    (Wiley, 2025-01) Turk, Umut; Toger, Marina; Osth, John; Kourtit, Karima; Nijkamp, Peter
    In the COVID-19 period, spatial leisure behavior, often driven by the desire to escape urban life, reflected health and environmental concerns. This study examines how pandemic-induced spatial motives and changes impacted disparities in leisure mobility, specifically urban-to-rural tourism, in Sweden. Analyzing pre-pandemic, during pandemic, and post-pandemic periods, using anonymized mobile phone and socioeconomic data, the paper explores urban-rural leisure mobility variations. Despite a decline in professional geographical mobility, mainly of people in affluent urban areas, due to remote work, the spatial leisure activities remained rather stable? Our findings, based on a negative binomial regression analysis, reveal also exacerbated socioeconomic segregation in recreational trips. The disruption in mobility accessibility due to COVID-19 appears to amplify existing socioeconomic disparities, notably in urban-to-rural leisure travel. Our research sheds new light on the widening gap in geographical leisure activities, emphasizing the need for equitable access to nonurban destinations.

    Role of Pretty Nanoflowers as Novel Versatile Analytical Tools for Sensing in Biomedical and Bioanalytical Applications
    (Wiley, 2024-02) Dadi, Seyma; Ocsoy, Ismail
    In recent years, an encouraging breakthrough in the synthesis of immobilized enzymes in flower-shaped called "organic-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (hNFs)" with greatly enhanced catalytic activity and stability were reported. Although, these hNFs were discovered by accident, the enzymes exhibited highly enhanced catalytic activities and stabilities in the hNFs compared with the free and conventionally immobilized enzymes. Herein, we rationally utilized the catalytic activity of the hNFs for analytical applications. In this comprehensive review, we covered the design and use of the hNFs as novel versatile sensors for electrochemical, colorimetric/optical and immunosensors-based detection strategies in analytical perspective.

    Pressure-Induced Quenchable Superhard Tetrahedral Amorphous Phase of BC4N
    (Wiley, 2025-03-13) Durandurdu, Murat
    The high-pressure behavior of an amorphous boron carbon nitride (BC4N) composition is investigated using constant-pressure ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. A first-order phase transformation into a tetrahedral amorphous phase with a high fraction of sp3 bonding is observed. This tetrahedral phase is quenchable and exhibits ultra-high incompressibility and a high Vickers hardness (46 GPa), placing it firmly in the category of superhard materials, comparable to tetrahedral amorphous carbon. Tetrahedral amorphous BC4N demonstrates semiconducting behavior with a narrow bandgap of 0.4 eV, making it suitable for applications requiring both mechanical robustness and moderate electronic conductivity. Thermodynamic analyses confirm the likelihood of a first-order sp2-to-sp3 transition, suggesting that such a transformation could occur around 29 GPa under experimental conditions.

    Polyamorphism in Aluminum Nitride: A First Principles Molecular Dynamics Study
    (Wiley, 2016-03-02) Durandurdu, Murat
    The high-pressure behavior of amorphous aluminum nitride is investigated for the first time by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. It is found to undergo two successive first-order phase transformations with the application of pressure. The first one is a polyamorphic phase transition in which the low-density amorphous phase transforms into a high-density amorphous phase having an average coordination number of about 4.6. The high-density amorphous structure transforms back to a low-coordinated amorphous network upon pressure release but its density is higher than that of the original low-density amorphous phase. The second phase change is the crystallization of the high-density amorphous state into a rocksalt structure. A careful analysis suggests that the hexagonal-like nanoclusters presented in amorphous aluminum nitride prevent the formation of a very dense amorphous phase (about sixfold coordinated) during the first phase transition and they act as a nucleation center for the crystallization process.
