    Reductions of topologically massive gravity I: Hamiltonian analysis of second order degenerate Lagrangians
    (Amer Inst Physics, 2018-01) Uçgun, Filiz Çağatay; Esen, Oğul; Gümral, Hasan
    We present Skinner-Rusk and Hamiltonian formalisms of second order degenerate Clement and Sarioglu-Tekin Lagrangians. The Dirac-Bergmann constraint algorithm is employed to obtain Hamiltonian realizations of Lagrangian theories. The Gotay-Nester-Hinds algorithm is used to investigate Skinner-Rusk formalisms of these systems.

    Synthesis and liquid crystalline behavior of random copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) macromonomer and liquid crystalline monomer by the photon transmission technique
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2005-12) Yıldız, Sevtap; Yılmaz, Faruk; Özbek, Haluk; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Ito, Koichi; Yağcı, Yusuf
    Random copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) macromonomer with p-vinylbenzyl end-functional group (PEOVB) and liquid crystalline monomer, namely 6-(4-cyanobiphenyl-4'-oxy)hexyl acrylate (COA), were prepared by conventional free radical polymerization. A living anionic polymerization technique was employed for the synthesis of PEO macromonomers bearing p-vinylbenzyl moiety at one end. The photon transmission method was also applied to study the phase transitions of COA monomer and its random copolymer with PEO. It was found that, for both samples, the nematic-smectic A transition is continuous, but the critical fluctuation regions do not allow to obtain 3D XY values. Instead, we have obtained the values close to mean field regime. Scaling of thermal hystersis for random copolymer sample near the nematic-isotropic transition was studied as well. Thermal hysteresis loops were produced under linearly varying temperature. It was shown that the areas of the hysteresis loops scale with the temperature scanning rate with an exponent being equal to 0.614 which is in good agreement with the field-theoretical value.

    Molecular recognition during sol-gel and gel-sol transition of kappa-iota carrageenan mixtures
    (Taylor & Francis ltd, 2005-12) Kara, Selim; Arda, Ertan; Pekcan, Mehmet Önder
    Sol-gel and gel-sol phase transitions of kappa-iota (kappa-iota) carrageenan mixtures in two types of salts were studied using photon transmission technique. Here, KCl and CaCl2 were chosen as the proper salts for the carrageenan mixtures. Coil-to-double helix (c-h) and double helix-to-dimer (h-d) phase transitions of carrageenan mixtures in monovalent and bivalent cation solutions were studied upon heating and cooling by using photon transmission technique. Photon transmission intensity, It, was monitored against temperature to determine the (c-h) and (h-d) transition temperatures (T-ch and T-nd). Two distinct transition regions were observed in both heating and cooling of the carrageenan-bivatent CaCl2 salt system. At the first step of heating process dimers decompose into double helices by making (d-h) transition. At the high temperature region (h-c) transition takes place. Carrageenan-monovalent KCl salt system presented only (c-h) and (h-c) transitions upon cooling and heating processes. Transition temperatures at the heating and cooling processes were obtained. A hysteresis was observed between (h-c)-(c-h) and (d-h)-(h-d) transitions for the monovalent and bivalent cations respectively.

    Enabling 5G indoor services for residential environment using VLC technology
    (Elsevier B.V., 2022-03-10) Miramirkhani, Farshad; Karbalayghareh, Mehdi; Zeydan, Engin; Mitra, Rangeet
    Visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a viable complement to traditional radio frequency (RF) based systems and as an enabler for high data rate communications for beyond-5G (B5G) indoor communication systems. In particular, the emergence of new B5G-based applications with quality of service (QoS) requirements and massive connectivity has recently led to research on the required service-levels and the development of improved physical (PHY) layer methods. As part of recent VLC standards development activities, the IEEE has formed the 802.11bb “Light Communications (LC) for Wireless Local Area Networking” standardization group. This paper investigates the network requirements of 5G indoor services such as virtual reality (VR) and high-definition (HD) video for residential environments using VLC. In this paper, we consider such typical VLC scenarios with additional impairments such as light-emitting diode (LED) nonlinearity and imperfect channel feedback, and propose hyperparameter-free mitigation techniques using Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) methods. In this context, we also propose using a direct current biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM)-based adaptive VLC transmission method that uses precomputed bit error rate (BER) expressions for these RKHS-based detection methods and performs adaptive BER-based modulation-order switching. Simulations of channel impulse responses (CIRs) show that the adaptive transmission method provides significantly improved error rate performance, which makes it promising for high data rate VLC-based 5G indoor services.

    Cation effects on phase transition of kappa-iota-carrageenan hybrids: a photon transmission study
    (Taylor & Francis Group, 2007) Pekcan, Mehmet Önder; Kara, Selim; Arda, Ertan
    Phase transitions of kappa-iota-carrageenan hybrid in various types of salts were studied using photon transmission technique: NaCl, KCI, MgCl2, CaCl2 and KCl+CaCl2 were chosen as the salt solutions for the carrageenan hybrid. Coil-to-helix (c-h), helix-to-dimer (h-d) and back to helix-to-coil (h-c), dimer-to-helix (d-h) phase transitions of carrageenan hybrid in these mono- and bivalent cation solutions were studied upon cooling and heating, respectively. Photon transmission intensity, It, was monitored against temperature to determine the (c-h), (h-d) and (h-c), (d-h) transition temperatures (T-ch, T-hd and T-hc, T-dh) and activation energies (Delta E-ch, Delta E-hd and Delta E-hc, Delta E-dh) of carrageenan hybrids. Two distinct transition regions were observed both during heating and cooling of the carrageenan-bivalent salt systems. During the heating process, at first dimers decompose into helices by making a (d-h) transition. Then at the high temperature region, a (h-c) transition takes place. During cooling, back transitions repeat themselves. However, the carrageenan-monovalent salt system presented only (c-h) and (h-c) transitions during the cooling and heating processes, respectively. A hysteresis was observed between (h-c)-(c-h) and (d-h)-(h-d) transitions for the monovalent and bivalent cation systems respectively.

    The routine design-modular distributed modeling platform for distributed routine design and simulation-based testing of distributed assemblies
    (Cambridge University Press, 2008-12-12) Eskil, Mustafa Taner; Sticklen, Jon; Radcliffe, Clark
    In this paper we describe a conceptual framework and implementation of a tool that supports task-directed, distributed routine design (RD) augmented with simulation-based design testing. In our research, we leverage the modular distributed modeling (MDM) methodology to simulate the interaction of design components in an assembly. The major improvement we have made in the RD methodology is to extend it with the capabilities of incorporating remotely represented off-the-shelf components in design and simulation-based testing of a distributed assembly. The deliverable of our research is the RD-MDM platform, which is capable of automatically selecting intellectually protected off the shelf design components over the Internet, integrating these components in an assembly, running simulations for design testing, and publishing the approved design without disclosing the proprietary information.

    Least minimum symbol error rate based post-distortion for adaptive mobile VLC transmission with receiver selection
    (Elsevier B.V., 2021-08) Miramirkhani, Farshad; Karbalayghareh, Mehdi; Mitra, Rangeet
    In the context of beyond-5G indoor communication systems, visible light communication (VLC) has emerged as a viable supplement for existing RF-based systems and as an enabler for high datarate communications. However, the existing indoor VLC systems are limited by detrimental outages caused by fluctuations in the VLC channel-gain due to user-mobility. Furthermore, the nonlinear characteristics of the light-emitting diode (LED) degrade the performance of VLC systems in the highpower regime by warping the input constellation. Additional performance-limits are introduced by inter-symbol interference (ISI) due to finite modulation-bandwidth of LEDs, and reflections from walls. In this paper, a random Fourier feature (RFF) based post-distorter is considered for mitigating the LED nonlinearity, and relevant expressions for the signal to noise ratio (SNR) are derived for a direct current biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) system. Based on the derived expressions for SNR, the effects of user-mobility and ISI are mitigated by a DCO-OFDM based adaptive VLC transmission technique, which varies the transmission-rate/modulation-order under a specified error-rate constraint. Simulations are presented over channels obtained by ray-tracing, which indicates that the proposed algorithm achieves superior data-rates with a significantly lower error-rate.

    Tectonic and climatic controls on Quaternary fluvial processes and river terrace formation in a Mediterranean setting, the Goksu River, southern Turkey
    (Cambridge University Press, 2019-03) Avşin Görendağlı, Nurcan; Vandenberghe, Jef; Van Balen, Ronald; Güneç Kıyak, Nafiye; Öztürk, Tuğba
    Climate and tectonics effect the fluvial evolution of the Mediterranean Mut basin. The basin contains a river terrace staircase of 16 levels (T16-T1) ranging from 365 to 10m above the current Goksu River in its middle and lower sections. These river terraces records tectonic uplift in the Mut basin. Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of the fluvial sediments of the youngest terrace (T16) provides a chronology for the assessment of the important impacts of climatic changes. The ages from the youngest river terrace deposits in T16 may be subdivided into two intervals: (1) 239-194.7 ka during the later part of Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 7, implying that the aggradation of T16 started in (the final phase of) this warm period; and (2) 187.9-171 ka during much of MIS 6. Thus, it appears that the Goksu River continued depositing sediment from an interglacial into a glacial time. The differences in climate-driven fluvial evolution between this Mediterranean fluvial system and the classical, well-studied temperate-periglacial river systems in Europe may be the result of different vegetation cover and greater thaw of more intense snowfalls.
