High-precision, non-invasive anti-microvascular approach via concurrent ultrasound and laser irradiation
(Nature Research, 2017-01-11)Antivascular therapy represents a proven strategy to treat angiogenesis. By applying synchronized ultrasound bursts and nanosecond laser irradiation, we developed a novel, selective, non-invasive, localized antivascular ... -
A Nonlinear Constitutive Theory for Deviatoric Cauchy Stress Tensor for Incrompressible Viscous Fluids
(Yildiz Technical University, 2017-07)Newton’s law of visocosity is a commonly used constitutive theory for deviatoric Cauchy stress tensor. In this constitutive theory originally constructed based on experimental observation, the deviatoric Cauchy stress is ... -
A Nonlinear Constitutive Theory for Heat Conduction in Lagrangian Description Based on Integrity
(Yildiz Technical University, 2017-12)If the deforming matter is to be in thermodynamic equilibrium, then all constitutive theories, including those for heat vector, must satisfy conservation and balance laws. It is well known that only the second law of ... -
Visible light guided manipulation of liquid wettability on photoresponsive surfaces
(Nature Research, 2017-04-25)Photoresponsive titania surfaces are of great interest due to their unique wettability change upon ultraviolet light illumination. However, their applications are often limited either by the inability to respond to visible ... -
Metallic superhydrophobic surfaces via thermal sensitization
(AIP Publishing, 2017-06)Superhydrophobic surfaces (i.e., surfaces extremely repellent to water) allow water droplets to bead up and easily roll off from the surface. While a few methods have been developed to fabricate metallic superhydrophobic ... -
Nanotopography-Induced Structural Anisotropy and Sarcomere Development in Human Cardiomyocytes Derived from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
(American Chemical Society, 2016-08-31)Understanding the phenotypic development of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) is a prerequisite to advancing regenerative cardiac therapy, disease modeling, and drug screening applications. ... -
Laser-enhanced high-intensity focused ultrasound heating in an in vivo small animal model
(AIP Publishing, 2016-11-22)The enhanced heating effect during the combination of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and low-optical-fluence laser illumination was investigated by using an in vivo murine animal model. The thighs of murine animals ... -
Mechanistic investigations of matrix metalloproteinase-8 inhibition by metal abstraction peptide
(AIP Publishing, 2016-04-29)The mechanism of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) inhibition was investigated using ellipsometric measurements of the interaction of MMP-8 with a surface bound peptide inhibitor, tether-metal abstraction peptide (MAP), ... -
Error Estimations, Error Computations, and Convergence Rates in FEM for BVPs
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-07-29)This paper presents derivation of a priori error estimates and convergence rates of finite element processes for boundary value problems (BVPs) described by self adjoint, non-self adjoint, and nonlinear differential ... -
Rate Constitutive Theories of Orders n and 1n for Internal Polar Non-Classical Thermofluids without Memory
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-10-31)In recent papers, Surana et al. presented internal polar non-classical Continuum theory in which velocity gradient tensor in its entirety was incorporated in the conservation and balance laws. Thus, this theory incorporated ... -
Self-Strengthening Hybrid Dental Adhesive via Visible-light Irradiation Triple Polymerization
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-05-25)A self-strengthening methacrylate-based dental adhesive system was developed by introducing an epoxy cyclohexyl trimethoxysilane (TS) which contains both epoxy and methoxysilyl functional groups. The experimental formulation, ... -
Effect of mucoprotein on the bond strength of resin composite to human dentin
(Springer Verlag, 2011-07)The purpose of this study was to test the bond strength and analyze the morphology of the dentin-adhesive interface of two etch and rinse and two self-etch adhesive systems with two kinds of artificial saliva (with and ... -
Bond strength of adhesives to dentin contaminated with smoker’s saliva
(Springer Verlag, 2010-02)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of contamination with smoker’s and non-smoker’s saliva on the bond strength of resin composite to superficial dentin using different adhesive systems. The interfacial ... -
Bioactive Microsphere-Based Scaffolds Containing Decellularized Cartilage
(Wiley, 2015-07)The aim of this study was to fabricate mechanically functional microsphere-based scaffolds containing decellularized cartilage (DCC), with the hypothesis that this approach would induce chondrogenesis of rat bone marrow-derived ... -
Gravity-Driven Thin Film Flow of an Ellis Fluid
(Elsevier, 2013-12-01)The thin film lubrication approximation has been studied extensively for moving contact lines of Newtonian fluids. However, many industrial and biological applications of the thin film equation involve shear-thinning fluids, ... -
Contact Line Instability of Gravity-Driven Flow of Power-Law Fluids
(Elsevier, 2015-11)The moving contact line of a thin fluid film can often corrugate into fingers, which is also known as a fingering instability. Although the fingering instability of Newtonian fluids has been studied extensively, there are ... -
Viscoelastic and fatigue properties of model methacrylate-based dentin adhesives
(Wiley, 2010-11)The objective of the current study is to characterize the viscoelastic and fatigue properties of model methacrylate-based dentin adhesives under dry and wet conditions. Static, creep, and fatigue tests were performed on ... -
Mechanical properties of methacrylate-based model dentin adhesives: Effect of loading rate and moisture exposure
