In the present study, we propose MC simulation that takes interface phenomena between liquid crystal and substrate into consideration. We use rigid model molecules of liquid crystal and substrate. Interface is generated using potential field that induces decomposition of molecules.

The switched reluctance motor(SRM) has a considerable potential for industrial applications because of its high reliability as a result of the absence of rotor windings. In some applications with SRM, a parallel switching strategy is often used for cost saving, increasing of current capacity and system reliability. This paper proposes a new parallel switching strategy of SRM using parallel winding. While conventional parallel switching devices are connected in a phase winding, power devices are connected in the parallel windings wound in each pole of stator in the proposed method. Paralleling strategy for current sharing in the proposed method can be easily determined without considerations of any nonlinear characteristics of power devices such as conduction resistance, threshold voltage and gain factor. The proposed paralleling strategy is verified by the mathematical analysis and experimental results.

This study contributes to evaluate multiphase topology optimization design of plate-like structures on elastic foundations by using classic plate theory. Multi-material optimal topology and shape are produced as an alternative to provide reasonable material assignments based on stress distributions. Multi-material topology optimization problem is solved through an alternative active-phase algorithm with Gauss-Seidel version as an optimization model of optimality criteria. Stiffness and adjoint sensitivity formulations linked to thin plate potential strain energy are derived in terms of multiphase design variables and Winkler-Pasternak parameters considering elastic foundation to apply to the current topology optimization. Numerical examples verify efficiency and diversity of the present topology optimization method of elastic thin plates depending on multiple materials and Winkler-Pasternak parameters with the same amount of volume fraction and total structural volume.

The world began to search for new energy sources with increasing energy demand. Renewable energy sources are as hydropower important for alternative energy. Countries with high hydroelectric potentials continue to work to utilize hydroelectric power plants in the most efficient way. Pumped storage hydropower plants are an important investment to meet the growing energy needs at peak times and to store energy. Although it produces energy in many countries, pumped storage hydropower plants have not begun to be built in Turkey which has high hydroelectric potential. A new era will be opened for energy production in Turkey where a large number of pumped storage hydropower plants projects are in study phase with the construction of pumped storage hydropower plants and first nuclear power plant.

Liquid droplets of water and argon surrounded by their vapor have been simulated by the milecular dynamics method. To explore the surface phenomena of clusters, each molecule is classified into 'liquid', 'surface', or 'vapor' with respect to the number of neighbor molecules. The contribution of a 'surface' molecule of the water cluster to the far infrared spectrum is almist the same as that of the 'liquid' molecule. Hence, the liquid-vapor interface is viewed as geometrically and temporally varying boundary of 'liquid' molecules with only a single layer of 'surface' molecules that might have different characteristics from the 'liquid' molecules. The time scale of the 'phase change' of each molecule is estimated for the argon cluster by observing the instantancous kinetic and potential energies of each molecule. To compare the feature of clusters with macroscopic droplets, the temperature dependence of the surface tension of the argon cluster is estimated.

This work applies the nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation method to study a Lennard-Jones liquid thin film suspended in the vapor and calculates the thermal conductivity by linear response function. As a preliminary test, the thermal conductivity of pure argon fluid are calculated by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the thermal conductivity decrease with decreasing the density. When both argon liquid and vapor phase are present, the effects of the system temperature on the thermal conductivity are investigated. It can be seen that the thermal conductivity of liquid-vapor interface is constant with increasing the temperature

The electronic properties of Cu or Pd-doped GaN at several concentrations are examined using the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method. For ($Cu_{0.055}Ga_{0.945}$)N, the model reveals a magnetic moment of $1.47{\mu}B$ per supercell. The range of concentrations that are spin-polarized should be restricted within narrow limits. A paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition is found to occur at a Cu concentration of 5.55%.

A new collolidal silver (Ag) system is present in which a fine colloidal Ag is in situ deposited onto functionalized porous poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (poly (EGDMA)) microspheres. The effectiveness of Ag deposition was investigated considering the surface characteristics of poly (EGDMA) microspheres, The result reported in this study illustrates that the control of surface area and surface functionality (in this study, a hydroxyl group) of poly (EGDMA) microspheres is an important factor that determines practically the degree of deposition of colloidal Ag. The x-ray analysis showed that Ag nanoparticles were dispersed evenly inner and outer surfaces and has a face center cubic(fcc) phase. In the preservation test, the Ag-containing poly (EGDMA) microspheres had a powerful anti-bacterial performance, showing a high potential for a new preservative.

When repolarization of neuronal action potential does not decline monotonically but interrupted by additional depolarization, this prolonged depolarization phase is referred to afterdepolarization(ADP). ADP is considered to playa crucial role in the modulation of neuronal excitability, since it contributes to burst firing. We studied the ionic mechanisms underlying ADP in the soma of dentate granule cells, using rat hippocampal slice (300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in thickness) prepared from 3- to 3-week-old SD rats.(omitted)

Based on the finding that the 2-aminobenzamido group of MS-275 plays a crucial role in inhibiting HDACs through chelation of zinc existing at the active site of HDAC enzymes, novel N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)arylsulfonamide derivatives were synthesized for their potential ability to inhibit HDACs and evaluated for anticancer activity against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). Although the synthesized arylsulfonamides have failed to significantly inhibit total HDACs activity, phenyl carbamate-linked arylsulfonamide 10 and benzyl thiocarbamate-linked arylsulfonamide 15 exhibited good anticancer activities, which were only 4.3- and 3.6-fold lower anticancer activities, respectively, than MS-275 that is undergoing phase II clinical trials. These results suggest that these compounds may act as a selective HDAC inhibitor and probably N-(2-hydroxyphenyl) sulfamoyl group may play an important role in interacting with HDAC enzymes through chelation of zinc ion.
