    Consequences of cooperativity in supramolecular polymers

    N,N',N"-Trialkylbenzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) self-assemble by means of strong, threefold intermolecular hydrogen bonding into well-defined, helical, one-dimensional columnar aggregates.1 When a stereogenic centre is introduced into the alkyl side chains of these BTA molecules, strong Cotton effects are observed in dilute apolar solutions, indicating the preference for one helical conformation over the other.2 A helical sense preference can also be created by the introduction of isotope chirality into the a-position of the alkyl side chains in BTA molecules. Quantitative analysis on the observed process in dodecane demonstrates that a stereoselectively deuterated BTA forms right- (P) and left-handed (M) helical supramolecular polymers with a slight difference in stability upon cooling and the diastereomeric excess (d.e. = ([M]-[P])/([M]+[P])) is 38% at room temperature3. The subtle character of these deuterated-BTA-based supramolecular polymers makes it a highly sensitive probe to investigate the effect of the molecular structure of the alkane solvent in the self-assembly processes4. Furthermore, the effect of adding a racemization reaction into a self-assembly process by using a BTA molecule with a labile stereocenter was investigated. Racemization reaction in a self-assembling BTA system follows nonfirst-order reaction kinetics. Enantioenriched BTA molecules are obtained from a racemizing solution in the presence of a sergeant molecule which is unreactive towards base. The results are further analyzed by using a theoretical model which is capable of precise quantitative description of the experimental data obtained. The calculations are fully confirmed by experimental data with even the smallest details being fully explained by the methodology employed4. This dissertation focuses on the self-assembly process of BTA molecules and investigates the effect of isotope substitution, alkane solvent employed for self-assembly process and the introduction of racemization reaction into the self-assembly process. 1.

    32nd International Physics Congress of Turkish-Physical-Society (TPS) -- SEP 06-09, 2016 -- Bodrum, TURKEYIn this study, orbital period variations of two eclipsing binary systems (NO Vul and EW Lyr) were discussed. Possible light time effects due to third bodies in these systems were re-examined. The mass function and orbital period of hypothetical third bodies were calculated to be 0.000627 +/- 1.000003 M-circle dot, 26.17 +/- 0.05 years and 0.12682 +/- 0.00003 M-circle dot, 77.23 +/- 0.72 years for NO Vul and EW Lyr, respectively.Turkish Phys So

    Exact analytical solutions of the fractional biological population model, fractional EW and modified EW equations

    No full text
    In this paper, exact analytical solutions of the biological population model, the EW and the modified EW equations with a conformable derivative operator have been examined by means of the trial solution algorithm and the complete discrimination system. Dark, bright and singular traveling wave solutions of the equations have been obtained by algorithm. Also, revealed singular periodic solutions have been listed. All solutions were verified by substituting them into their corresponding equation via Mathematica package program. © 2021 Balikesir University.

    The tumble mode - where test pilots fear to tread

    No full text
    Following a fatal accident in 1997 and identification of common patterns in several (usually fatal) previous accidents the AAIB (United Kingdom Air Accidents Investigation Branch) asked the BMAA (British Microlight Aircraft Association) to pursue a course of investigation into the tumble mode, which had been attributed as the primary cause of that fatal accident. The tumble mode is a peculiarity of weightshift controlled aircraft - that is flexwing microlights and hang-gliders. It is a departure from controlled flight leading to a nose-down pitch autorotation: pitch rates of 400°/s are known. When a tumble occurs in a microlight aeroplane, it is rare for the crew to survive and loss of the aircraft is universal

The grid has a cell size of 0.00018 degrees (approximately 20m). This grid contains the ground elevation values relative to the geoid for the NTGS Tanami EW 5N Region Detailed Airborne Magnetic Radiometric and Digital Elevation Survey, NT, 2018. It represents the vertical distance from a location on the Earth's surface to the geoid. The data are given in units of meters. The processed data are checked by GA geophysicists using standard methods for assessing quality to ensure that the final data are fit-for-purpose.Digital Elevation data record the terrain height variations from the processed point- or line-located data recorded during a geophysical survey.

    Ew! Yuck! Ugh! – Nonverbal Vocalisations of Pathogen and Moral Disgust

    No full text
    This project hosts the data and analysis scripts for the manuscript titled "Ew! Yuck! Ugh! – Nonverbal Vocalisations of Pathogen and Moral Disgust" The study investigates whether nonverbal vocalisations of disgust differ depending on whether they are elicited by pathogen-related versus moral violations. Using a combination of machine learning and two preregistered listening experiments, we tested whether: 1) Pathogen and moral disgust vocalisations are acoustically distinguishable; 2) Human listeners can differentiate between them; 3) These vocalisations are perceived differently in terms of emotional and functional qualities. Data and scripts can be found under the Files tab
