Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Comparative Study of Existing and Current On-Site Documentation of Anatolian Seljuk Kümbets(Elsevier Ltd, 2025-12) Güzelci, O.Z.; Türel, A.During the Anatolian Seljuk period (1077–1307), monumental tombs known as kümbets emerged as a distinct architectural typology in present-day Türkiye. 2D drawings of these structures, produced since the early 20th century, contain inconsistencies that necessitate verification and accurate documentation. This study digitally documents Anatolian Seljuk kümbets in 3D to generate updated 2D sections reflecting their current condition and compares these with previously published drawings. The methodology includes collecting available 2D sections, digitally documenting kümbets through field studies, generating new 2D sections from 3D models, and systematically comparing these datasets. Two image-based metrics are employed in the comparison: the Exact Pixel Match Ratio (EPMR), which evaluates pixel-level alignment, and the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM), a standard indicator for visual similarity. The results provide a comparative framework for assessing previous drawings and present a verified, up-to-date dataset of kümbet sections for future research. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 10The Relationship of Surface Roughness and Wettability of 316L Stainless Steel Implants With Plastic Deformation Mechanisms(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Cicek, S.; Karaca, A.; Torun, I.; Onses, M. S.; Uzer, B.The wettability of the implant plays significant role in successful tissue-implant integration and shows strong dependence on the surface topography of the material. Recent studies showed that the plastic deformation mechanisms can improve cell response, and increase surface roughness and energy. In order to understand the effect of these mechanisms on wettability, 316L stainless steel samples were subjected to tensile test and deformed up to 15% to 35% of strain levels. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) presented approximately 22-fold greater average surface roughness on the 35% deformed sample compared to undeformed one. On the other hand, sessile drop test showed contact angle decrease from 82 degrees to 52 degrees as the deformation increased. This finding is significant since much higher contact angle value at similar surface roughness was presented in the literature. This demonstrates that the plastic deformation mechanisms can play significant role in enhancing the surface wettability without a need for a surface treatment technique. Hence, through the activation of these mechanisms, wettability and surface energy of the implant materials could be further increased which would result with enhanced cell response and lessened post-surgical complications.

Thermal gravimetric (TG) analysis was carried out. The chemical composition and physical properties of the materials used were determined. Particle size distribution and microstructure elemental analyses of the materials used were carried out by a particle size analyzer (Mastersizer) and a scanning electron microscope (SEM-EDS). Following the characterization of the materials, briquettes were prepared by sintering at different temperatures. Compressive strength test results of the briquette samples indicated that briquettes with a compressive strength value of 47.45 N/mm(2) can be produced. The results obtained exceed the Turkish standard (TS EN 771-1) requirements (9.8-23.54 N/mm(2)). SEM-EDS results showed that briquette samples made with Tuncbilek (T) fly ash had a higher percentage of the glassy phase than the other briquette samples. Due to this microstructure, it results in higher compressive strength value.Article Citation - Scopus: 7Testing the Applicability of the Instructional Beliefs Model Across Three Countries: The Role of Culture as a Theoretical Parameter(Routledge, 2021-10-19) Frisby, Brandi N.; Tatum, Nicholas T.; Galy-Badenas, Flora; Bengu, ElifInstructional communication research is critiqued for lacking theoretical development and limited cultural understanding. This study tested the instructional beliefs model (IBM) in three countries: US, Turkey, and Finland. Participants (N = 376) reported perceptions of teacher relevance, state motivation, procedural justice, learner empowerment, and revised learning indicators. Results revealed that the IBM provided a good fit to the data in Turkey and Finland but not in the US. In all models, procedural justice and state motivation were significant predictors of learner empowerment, and learner empowerment strongly predicted revised learning indicators. However, teacher relevance only predicted learner empowerment in non-US classrooms. These results have practical implications for teaching in increasingly diverse classrooms and understanding higher education abroad. This study supports and extends IBM. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Shear Strength Prediction for Fiber Reinforced Concrete Beams(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025-08-17) Burak Bakir, Burcu; Yagmur, ErenDiscrete fibers are often used to increase the tensile and shear strengths of reinforced concrete. Influence of fibers on the behavior of shear critical members is quite significant, therefore, it is crucial to accurately estimate the fiber contribution to ultimate strength. In this study, first a comprehensive database of 446 FRC shear critical beams from 51 different experimental studies is compiled and nonlinear correlation analyses are utilized to identify the key parameters affecting the shear strength. Then, parametric equations are developed to obtain interfacial bond strength of fibers and shear strength of beams with different fiber types, volume fractions, aspect ratios and reinforcement detailing. Shear strengths corresponding to both shear and flexural failures are computed to verify the failure mode. Comparison of the predicted and experimental load carrying capacities indicates the improved accuracy of the prediction equation when compared to the code requirements and existing equations. Due to its applicability to FRC beams with different configurations, reinforcement detailing, fiber types and failure modes, the proposed method is feasible for integration into structural codes as a conservative and practical design approach. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Parabolic and Cubic Acceleration Time Integration Schemes for Nonlinear Structural Dynamics Problems Using the Method of Weighted Residuals(Taylor & Francis inc, 2016-01-20) Cilsalar, H.; Aydin, K.Two algorithms are proposed for direct time integration of an equation of motion of structural dynamics problems. The performance of the proposed methods is examined by evaluating stability, order of accuracy, numerical dissipation, and algorithmic damping. The results show that critical time for instability of the proposed algorithms is larger than those of conditionally stable methods. The numerical dissipation is shown to be explicitly less than other methods. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are non-dissipative in the low-frequency range and have favorable damping in mid-and high-frequency regimes. Three examples are carried out to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.Article Citation - Scopus: 23Oil Price Shocks During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Evidence From United Kingdom Energy Stocks(Asia-Pacific Applied Economics Association, 2021-05-25) Muğaloğlu, Erhan; Polat, Ali Yavuz; Tekin, Hasan; Dogan, AbdullahWe investigate the dynamic relationship between global oil prices, the stock market, and oil and gas stock (FTSE-OG) returns in the UK through a structural vector autoregressive (VAR) framework during the COVID-19 pandemic. The structural VAR results suggest that the impact of structural shocks related to the global oil price on FTSE-OG index returns becomes less important and loses its explanatory power during the pandemic. However, stock market shocks increase their explanatory power in the variations of FTSE-OG index returns. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 18Obesity Induced by High-Fat Diet Is Associated With Critical Changes in Biological and Molecular Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Present in Visceral Adipose Tissue(Impact Journals LLC, 2020-12-27) Acar, Mustafa Burak; Ayaz-Guner, Serife; Di Bernardo, Giovanni D.; Guner, Hüseyin; Murat, Ayşegül; Peluso, G. F.; Galderisi, UmbertoThe mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) residing within the stromal component of visceral adipose tissue appear to be greatly affected by obesity, with impairment of their functions and presence of senescence. To gain further insight into these phenomena, we analyzed the changes in total proteome content and secretome of mouse MSCs after a high-fat diet (HFD) treatment compared to a normal diet (ND). In healthy conditions, MSCs are endowed with functions mainly devoted to vesicle trafficking. These cells have an immunoregulatory role, affecting leukocyte activation and migration, acute inflammation phase response, chemokine signaling, and platelet activities. They also present a robust response to stress. We identified four signaling pathways (TGF-β, VEGFR2, HMGB1, and Leptin) that appear to govern the cells’ functions. In the obese mice, MSCs showed a change in their functions. The immunoregulation shifted toward pro-inflammatory tasks with the activation of interleukin-1 pathway and of Granzyme A signaling. Moreover, the methionine degradation pathway and the processing of capped intronless pre-mRNAs may be related to the inflammation process. The signaling pathways we identified in ND MSCs were replaced by MET, WNT, and FGFR2 signal transduction, which may play a role in promoting inflammation, cancer, and aging © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Numerical Investigation of the Role of Volumetric Transformation Strain on the Relaxation Stress and the Corresponding Hydrogen Interstitial Concentration in Niobium Matrix(Hindawi Ltd, 2017) Bal, BurakThe effects of relaxation stress on the hydrogen concentration in Niobium-(Nb-) H media were investigated by iterative numerical modeling approach. To calculate the transformation strain, relaxation stress, and corresponding relaxed hydrogen concentration around an edge dislocation, a new third-order polynomial formulation was utilized in the model. With the aid of this polynomial, hydrogen induced relaxation stress never exceeds the dislocation stress, which indicates that the total stress field never turns to compressive state and diverges the results. The current model calculates the hydrogen concentration not only in the vicinity of an edge dislocation but also far away from the dislocation. Furthermore, the effect of relaxation stress on the interaction energy was also captured in the model. Overall, the current findings shed light on the complicated hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms of metallic materials by demonstrating that hydrogen induced relaxation has a significant effect on the hydrogen atom concentration and the interaction energy between the existing internal stress field and the solute hydrogen atom.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 8Mol-Eye: A New Metric for the Performance Evaluation of a Molecular Signal(IEEE, 2018-04) Turan, Meric; Kuran, Mehmet Sukru; Yilmaz, H. Birkan; Chae, Chan-Byoung; Tugcu, TunaInspired by the eye diagram in classical radio frequency (RF) based communications, the MOL-Eye diagram is proposed for the performance evaluation of a molecular signal within the context of molecular communication. Utilizing various features of this diagram, three new metrics for the performance evaluation of a molecular signal, namely the maximum eye height, standard deviation of received molecules, and counting SNR (CSNR) are introduced. The applicability of these performance metrics in this domain is verified by comparing the performance of binary concentration shift keying (BCSK) and BCSK with consecutive power adjustment (BCSK-CPA) modulation techniques in a vessel-like environment with laminar flow. The results show that, in addition to classical performance metrics such as bit-error rate and channel capacity, these performance metrics can also be used to show the advantage of an efficient modulation technique over a simpler one.
