There have been developments on surface texturing methods providing benefit in a great many engineering applications.Especially, influence on surface texturing in lubrication applications related to frictional properties have been cause of concern.In the present study, it was aimed to work on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of the lubrication system consistingof two parallel plates. While one of the plates was sliding, the other one was stationary and an incompressible two-dimensionalsingle phase flow was assumed between those plates. The scope of the CFD analysis was to determine the relationship betweendrag force and . . .operating fluid properties (i.e., oil types), rotational speed and the amount of the cavities. It was realized that SAE0W-30 was found to be the best fluid among the seven studied oil types providing optimal conditions such as high drag reductionand less drag force. It was noticed that the drag coefficient thus, drag force appeared to be increasing as the rotating disk speedrose. The influence of the number of the cavities along the textured surface was also investigated in the present study and it wasfound that drag reduction was not associated with the number of cavities because 0, 1, 2 and 3 cavities nearly gave the same dragforce values. Yüzey dokusu yöntemlerinde gelişmeler yaşanırken bu gelişmelerden birçok mühendislik uygulamaları fayda sağlayabilir.Özellikle sürtünme özellikleri ile ilgili yağlama uygulamalarında yüzey dokusu etkisi önemli bir etkiye sahiptir. Bu çalışmakapsamında iki paralel plakadan oluşan yağlama sisteminin hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği çalışmasıyla incelenmesihedeflenmiştir. Plakalardan birisi hareket ederken, diğer plaka sabittir ve plakalar arasındaki akış, sıkıştırılamaz, iki boyutlu vetek fazlı olarak kabul edildi. Hesaplamalı akışkanlar dinamiği analizinin amacı direnç kuvvetindeki azalmanın, çalışan akışkanözellikleri (yani yağ çeşidi), açısal hız ve boşluk miktarı ile nasıl ilişkili olduğunu belirlemektir. Bu çalışmada SAE 0W-30 tipiyağın, çalışılan yedi yağ arasında en yüksek direnç düşüşü ve daha az direnç kuvveti sağladığı için en uygun koşulları sağlayanakışkan olduğu belirlenmiştir. Direnç katsayısının ve dolayısıyla direnç kuvvetinin açısal hızın artmasıyla arttığı fark edilmiştir.Boşluk sayısının yüzey dokusuna etkisi de bu çalışma kapsamında araştırılmıştır ve dirençteki azalmanın boşluk sayısı ile ilişkiliolmadığı bulunmuştur. Bunun nedeni 0, 1, 2 ve 3 boşluk yerleştirildiğinde neredeyse aynı direnç kuvvetleri elde edilmiştir Daha fazlası Daha az

One must first make sure that a given matrix subject to factorization is symmetric, and then use it in Cholesky algorithm, in MATLAB. This may cost machine time to check for symmetry, however, saves much more of it by preventing errors due to inherent structure of the built-in algorithm.

Bu makalede Turbo Kafes Kodlamalı (TKK) sistemlerin AWGN ve Rician ortamlarda faz bozulması durumunda hata başarımı elde edilmiştir. TKK yapısı ikili Turbo modülasyonu gibidir ancak TKK çok boyutludur. Turbo kodlamanın Kafes Kodlama ile birlikte kulanımı kodlayıcı yapısının değişimini gerektirir. Alıcıda ise ikili kodlayıcılarda olduğu gibi iteratif kod çözücü yapısı vardır. Burada 8PSK modülasyonda TKK farklı Rician katsayısı K, faz bozulma katsayısı a için benzetim sonuçları elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar hem genlikte hem de faz daki bozulmayı içermektedir. In this paper, we investigate the performance of Turbo Trellis Code . . .d Modulation (TTCM) over AWGN, and Rician channels and assume that phase disturbance is available. As we know Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation (TTCM) is similer to binary turbo codes, but employs Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM) codes which include multi-dimensional codes. The combination of turbo codes with trellis codes leads to a strigthforward encoder structure, and allows iterative decoding as binary turbo decoder. However, iterative Turbo Decoder needs to be adapted to the decoding of TCM codes. Here, we investigate TTCM for 8PSK for several Rician parameter K and effective signal-to-noise ratio in the cafrier tracking loop a. Thus, our results will reflect the degredations both due to the effects of the fading on the amplitude of the received signal and of a noisy carrier reference Daha fazlası Daha az

Multi-carrier spread spectrum (MCSS) communication systems are able to mitigate the effects of fading, interferences and Doppler frequency shifts as well as to support multiple access schemes. It is possible to get optimum performance from MCSS systems by carefully choosing the spreading sequences. However, due to inter-user interferences, performance degrades as the number of users increases unless the transmission channels are modeled and estimated. In this paper, we present a new spreading sequence obtained from a complex quadratic sequence multiplied by a pseudo random noise sequence, thus exploiting the properties of constant e . . .nvelope and statistical independence. Our approach is based on the time-frequency characterization of the wireless communication channel by means of discrete evolutionary transform. The properties of the new spreading sequence enables us to estimate the parameters of multi-user channels, both for uplink and downlink transmission cases, and design a receiver that is robust to channel noise, inter-user interference and intentional jammers. The performance of the proposed system is illustrated by simulations Daha fazlası Daha az

Mineralized natural protein based novel bone replacement materials are investigated for tissue engineering. Mineralized silk fibroin composite foams and films display excellent biocompatibility. In this study, the biomimetic and electrochemical mineralization of orderly oriented silk fibroin scaffolds was studied. Commercially obtained pure silk woven fabric was boiled in 0.02 M Na2CO3 for 20 min. Calcium phosphate was deposited at 37°C for twenty minutes in seven sequential immersion steps, using 250 mM CaCl2 2H2O and 120 mM K2HPO4, containing 0.15 M NaCl and 50mM TRIS-HCl, pH 7.4, followed by electrochemical treatment in modif . . .ied SBF solution at 40°C at a current density of -25mA/cm2 for 60 min. The amount of biomimetically deposited Ca-P increased with the number of immersion steps. SEM images and XRD analysis of the Ca-P deposit indicated the initial formation of brushite with its monoclinic crystal structure and characteristic peak at 11.76 2?, and electrochemical conversion of brushite to hydroxyapatite on silk after electrochemical cathodization as confirmed by XRD and SEM analysis. Thus, a silk-fibroin-hydroxyapatite composite material prepared as a xenograft consisting of biocompatible components, and easily prepared as an economical bone segment replacement material with highly oriented fibers Daha fazlası Daha az

Nowadays, all the designers of systems from high-performance servers to battery-operated handheld devices aim for reliability, high-performance and longevity. Central within these aims the issue of processor power consumption is becoming increasingly important. In this study, we aim to adapt our already-provenmethod for single-threaded superscalar processors to simultaneous multi-threaded (SMT) processors for energy savings. The original method focused on resizing datapath resources according to the demands of running applications. To achieve this, the targeted resources are physically divided into multiple partitions, and turned on . . . and off according to the needs of the applications. Since, the energy consumption of the turned-off datapath resources is quite low, as a result, it becomes possible to have great amount of energy savings within a processor. However, special care must be taken when there are multiple threads racing against each other to gain access to shared datapath resources. As a result, our proposed microarchitectural technique achieves 0.5% Instructions Per Cycle (IPC) and 3.2% Total number of instructions Per Cycle (TPC) improvement, while it turns off 45% of the Reorder Buffer (ROB), 59% of the Load-Store Queue (LSQ), 43% of the Issue Queue (IQ), 30% of the integer Physical Register Files (PRF) and, finally, 48% of the floating PRF, on the average across all simulated benchmarks. According to our estimates, the total processor power is reduced by 12%, on the average Daha fazlası Daha az

The charge and size of molecules chemically attached to nanoparticles (NPs) play an important role in their interaction behavior in suspensions. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were modified systematically with peptides and the modification was verified with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The behavior of the modified AuNPs in suspension and at the liquidsolid interface was monitored using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), UV/Vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) in suspension, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) at the solid liquid interface. It was found that while negatively charged peptide modified AuNPs beha . . .ve very similar to citrate reduced AuNPs due to their negatively charged surface, positively charged peptide modified AuNPs showed significantly different assembly/aggregation properties in suspension. The formation of linear assemblies of positively charged peptide (CKRHSKRHRSKRHSKRHSKRHSKR) modified AuNPs was clearly observed from the AFM analysis of the droplet areas of its colloidal suspension. The combined analyses of data obtained from the employed techniques suggest that the positively charged large peptide modified AuNPs can form linear and 3D-like networks in the suspension. This study reveals important information regarding the surface property dependent behavior of NPs that may help in efforts to build higher structures using NPs as building blocks Daha fazlası Daha az

Süreç kontrol endüstrisinde, orantı-türev-integral (PID) tip kontrolörler en önemli kontrol elemanlarından biridir. Uygulamada, analog kontrolörlerde genellikle işlemsel kuvvetlendiriciler kullanılmaktadır. Öte yandan ikinci nesil akım tasıyıcı ve akım geri beslemeli işlemsel kuvvetlendiriciler gibi akım çıkıslı olarak çalısan devreler, islemsel kuvvetlendiricilerle karşılaştırıldıklarında daha geniş bir frekans bandına, daha düşük güç tüketimi ile çalışma, ve daha iyi doğrusallık ve kararlılık özelliklerine sahip olduklarından, son zamanlarda oldukça çok dikkat çekmektedirler. Bu çalışmanın amacı akım tasıyıcılar (CCII) kullanarak . . .bir analog kontrolör gerçeklemek için gerekli tasarım yöntemini vermektir. Tasarımı yapılan PID devresi için optimum parametre toleransları hesaplanmıştır. Bu toleranslar önerilen PID kontrol edicinin duyarlık davranışlarının iyileştirilmesi ve kontrol edilmesinde kullanılabilirler. In process control industry, the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are one of the most important control elements. In practice, operational amplifiers are generally used in analog controllers. On the other hand, current-mode (CM) circuits such as second-generation current conveyors (CCII) and current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOA) have considerable attention due to their wider frequency band, lower power consumption, better linearity and stability properties compared to their voltage-mode counterparts, operational amplifiers. The purpose of this study is to present a synthesis procedure for the realization of analog PID controller by the use of CCIIs. For the designed PID circuit, the optimum parameter tolerances are determined. These tolerances can be used to improve and to control the sensitivity performance of the proposed PID controller Daha fazlası Daha az

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based impedimetric biosensor was developed for the electrochemical analysis of low-weight biological molecules. Synthetic polymeric matrices with specific and selective recognition sites, which are complementary to the shapes and sizes of the functional groups of analytes, can be prepared using the molecular imprinting method. In this study, a small molecule, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS), was used to coat a graphite pencil tip with a TRIS-containing polyacrylamide gel to fabricate a working electrode. The electrode modification and performance were evaluated using cyclic voltammetry an . . .d electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties of the modified electrodes were observed using an electrochemical cell comprising a Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a Pt wire as the counter electrode, and a pencil graphite tip as the working electrode using a redox-phosphate buffer solution with different concentrations of TRIS and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The I–V and impedance performance of the chemically modified graphite pencil-tip electrodes exhibited decreased conductance and increased impedance correlating with the increase in TRIS concentration. Thus, MIP-based small-molecule biosensor prototypes can be promising economical replacements over other expensive sensors Daha fazlası Daha az

In this study, we perform the stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis for two population modelswith Allee effect. The population models within the scope of this study are the one prey-twopredator model with Allee growth in the prey and the two prey-one predator model with Alleegrowth in the preys. Our procedure for investigating each model is as follows. First, weinvestigate the singular points where the system is stable. We provide the necessary parameterconditions for the system to be stable at the singular points. Then, we look for Hopf bifurcationat each singular point where a family of limit cycles cycle or oscillate. We provid . . .e the parameterconditions for Hopf bifurcation to occur. We apply the algebraic invariants method to fullyexamine the system. We investigate the algebraic properties of the system by finding allalgebraic invariants of degree two and three.
