Minguzzi E-mail: [email protected] We study interacting one-dimensional bosons on a ring lattice, subjected to a rotating barrier potential, which induces an artificial U(1) gauge field and a persistent current flow on the ring. We show that, at intermediate interactions, the persistent current response is maximal, due to a subtle interplay of effects due to the barrier, interactions and quantum fluctuations [1]. We then study how the persistent current amplitude scales with system size finding that the also scaling is optimal, i.e. the current amplitude decreases slower with the system size at intermediate interactions [2]. Finally, we study the gap and the visibility of the macroscopic superposition state of current states realized with this setup. We find that a mesoscopic ring lattice with intermediate-tostrong interactions and weak barrier depth is a favourable candidate for setting up, manipulating and probing a qubit in the next generation of experiments with ultracold atoms [3].

Now let us randomly pick an edge on the graph, thisunambiguously defines two agents with points say L and S. We increasethe point of one and only one of them as follows: If L>S we have (L,S)to (L+1,S) with probability p, if L<S we have (L,S) to (L,S+1) withprobability q=1-p, and if L=S only one receives the point equallylikely.We study the infinite time behavior of the point distribution -providedan initial condition is given- on various graphs. The model can bemapped to a type of altered coloring model on regular graphs whereason irregular graphs there are also various interesting aspects dependingon the local geometry of the graph.In particular we study the model on n-dimensional tori and find criticalbehavior in n=2. 13 Non-thermal operations as a quantum thermodynamical resource Miguel Navascues Quantum thermodynamics studies the emergence of thermodynamical laws inquantum microscopic systems. An important input from quantum informationscience has been to reformulate quantum thermodynamics as a resourcetheory, whereby thermal states are free and the only allowed operationsare unitary transformations commuting with the total Hamiltonian of thesystem. This approach to quantum thermodynamics has allowed us, forinstance, to re-interpret quantum free energy as the asymptotic conversion rate between different states, or the amount of work which can beextracted on average out of a resource quantum state. Previous literatureon quantum thermodynamics has just focused on transformations betweendifferent state resources, forgetting that quantum operations which do notcommute with the total energy also constitute a nonfree resource. In thiswork, given a number of non-thermal quantum channels, we study the problemof how to integrate them in a thermal engine so as to generate the maximum amount of work W_max. We find that W_max is an additive function of theconsidered channels, computable for both finite dimensional quantumoperations and bosonic channels. We apply these insights to bound theamount of extractable work due to the natural non-thermal processespostulated in the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber (GRW) theory. We find that,although GRW theory (and, for the matter, any proposed collapse model) predicts the possibility to extract work from the vacuum at no cost, inthe best of the cases the rate of extraction would be ridiculously low. 14 Artificial magnetic field effects in photonic systems R. O. Umucalılar Department of Physics, Koç University, Rumelifeneri Yolu, 34450 Sarıyer, İstanbul, Turkey In this talk, I will present some of the outcomes of my theoretical work on photonic systems experiencing an artificial magnetic field. After a brief introduction to quantum fluids of light where the quasiparticles of light-matter interaction, namely polaritons, behave collectively in a nonequilibrium setting, I will continue with the problem of simulating a magnetic field for photons (and polaritons) which are neutral particles. I will discuss various phenomena predicted to appear in these systems ranging from the integer quantum Hall effect in a coupled cavity array to the nonequilibrium fractional quantum Hall physics where photons can be driven into strongly-correlated states resembling the Laughlin state in the presence of strong optical nonlinearity. 15 Active Learning by Statistical Leverage Sampling Oznur Tastan Active learning aims to obtain a classifier of high accuracy by using fewer label requests in comparison to passive learning by selecting effective queries. Many active learning methods have been developed in the past two decades, which sample queries based on informativeness or representativeness of unlabeled data points. In this work, we explore a novel querying criterion based on statistical leverage scores. The statistical leverage scores of a row in a matrix are the squared row-norms of the matrix containing its (top) left singular vectors and is a measure of influence of the row on the matrix. Leverage scores have been used for detecting high influential points in regression diagnostics and have been recently shown to be useful for data analysis and randomized low-rank matrix approximation algorithms. We explore how sampling data instances with high statistical leverage scores perform in active learning. Our empirical comparison on several binary classification datasets indicate that querying high leverage points is an effective strategy.

Minguzzi Laboratoire de Physique et Modélisation des Milieux Condensés, Université GrenobleAlpes and CNRS, Grenoble, France E-mail: [email protected] Exciton polaritons are out-of-equilibrium quantum fluids, obtained under drivendissipative conditions in reduced dimensionality (quasi-one-dimension, two-dimension). The first-order correlation function is accessible experimentally *1+. I will present first a mean-field model which allows to take into account both the driven-dissipative nature of the fluid and the effect of a smooth disorder, yielding a very good agreement with the experiment *1+. Then, I will use a quantum Langevin approach combined with a Luttinger-liquid description of the fluid to determine the large-distance behaviour of the first-order correlation function at arbitrary interaction strength in the clean case, showing how beyond-mean-field interactions yield a reduction of coherence at large distances *2+. Finally, I will present an application of the out-of-equilibrium polariton gas as refrigerant, capable of absorbing low-energy phonons in a solid *3+.

During the last decade, conventional transparent conductors out of Ni/Au, Ti, Ti/W, and ITO have been widely employed to collect photo-generated charge carriers in those optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices. However, most of these materials inherently have very low optical transmittance (< 80%) especially in the ultraviolet (UV) regime below 400 nm due to high surface reflection and absorption. Unlike those above mentioned contact materials, graphene is capable of transmitting more than 90% of light in the wavelength range between 200 and 400 nm. As a consequence of its relatively high UV transmission level and zero band gap, graphene has become a promising candidate as transparent and conductive electrode for UV sensitive photodetectors. In my talk, I will present our preliminary experimental results on the fabrication and characterization of graphene-semiconductor-graphene (GSG) ultraviolet photodetector based on the rectifying character of Schottky junction at the interface between epitaxial graphene and Silicon Carbide SiC semiconductor. As-grown single layer epitaxial graphene is interdigitated as transparent conductive electrode to probe photogenerated charge carriers in a semi-insulating 4H-SiC substrate. The fabricated device exhibits the typical current-voltage characteristics of a conventional metalsemiconductor-metal type photodetector with low leakage current. Our measurements based on time-resolved photocurrent measurements suggest an excellent photocurrent reversibility and high response speed of the device. The measurements performed for different illumination wavelengths showed that the sample reveals higher responsivity values when it is exposed to the light with 254 nm wavelength. The obtained results imply that epitaxial graphene can be used readily as transparent conductor for SiC based optoelectronic device applications. 18 Connectivity-Driven Coherence of Heterogeneous Oscillators on Complex Networks Deniz Eroglu 1,2 , T.

Collective behaviour of coupled elements is one of the observed and proved phenomena on dynamical systems. Moreover, we see this behaviour on different structures of connected elements which are named complex networks. During the past decades, our understanding of collective behaviour on complex networks has increased significantly. So far, in general, researchers have focused on synchronization of coupled periodic elements with different frequencies such as Kuramoto model [1, 2] or identical periodic/chaotic oscillators [3, 4] via interaction akin to diffusion. We study the emergence of coherence in complex networks of mutually coupled nonidentical ele-ments [5]. We uncover the precise dependence of the dynamical coherence on the network connectivity, the isolated dynamics of the elements, and the coupling function. These findings predict that in random graphs the enhancement of coherence is proportional to the mean degree. In locally connected networks, coherence is no longer controlled by the mean degree but rather by how the mean degree scales with the network size. In these networks, even when the coherence is absent, adding a fraction s of random con-nections leads to an enhancement of coherence proportional to s. Our results provide a way to control the emergent properties by the manipulation of the dynamics of the elements and the network connectivity. References [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] K. Wiesenfeld, P.

Some recent studies have shown that the doping characteristics of ZnO nanowires could be qualitatively different in comparison to bulk samples[4], which might prove advantageous for the applications in semiconductor devices. On the other hand, first-principles calculations have increasingly been used to gain microscopic understanding of the semiconductor doping. Thus, this presentation concerns itself with a variety of properties of doped ZnO nanowires studied by means of computational modeling within the framework of the density functional theory. It will be demonstrated that the latter enables one to compare various (bulk or surface) doping configurations in regard to structure and stability, and to perform characterization of their electronic levels. It will be articulated that surface doping ultrathin nanowires with a heavy non-magnetic element such as bismuth might lead to the spin-orbit induced effects as well as the spin-dependent modification of the band structure where exchange and/or Rashba-type splitting could occur depending on a particular configuration.

[1] This approach is modeled on the “field theoretic” renormalization group a là Wilson [2, 3]. In the spectral renormalization group approach, the fluctuations of the order parameter are expanded in terms of the eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian[4], on arbitrary undirected networks. Elimination of the large eigenvalue fluctuations and rescaling of the effective hamiltonian are expected to yield, in the same spirit as in the Wilson renormalization group, the rescaling factors for the coupling constants, which can then be related to the critical exponents. We implemented the spectral renormalization group theory for the Gaussian model [5–7] on two deterministic networks, namely the Cayley tree and the diamond lattice [9] as well as the square and cubic periodic lattices. [8]. The nearest neighbor interaction is diagonalized by using the eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian, giving rise to a Gaussian theory for continuous fields. The scaling dimensions of the fields and of the “mass” term are determined numerically as well as analytically, in terms of β, the scaling exponent of the spectral density for small eigenvalues. We compute the specific heat and magnetic field exponents, α and δ, defined respectively as ch ∼ t−α, and h ∼ mδ on the critical isotherm; t = (T − Tc)/Tc is the reduced temperature and m the magnetization per spin. We obtain theGaussian model values, which go over to the mean field results if one heuristically takes into account the dangerousirrelevant fourth order term in the Landau expansion [7].We have since then extended our results to ψ4 theory, which, on periodic lattices, exhibits critical behavior in the same universality class as the Ising model. The ψ4 interaction terms are treated perturbatively, using the usual Feynman graph expansion [2, 3, 7]. We find, as in the Euclidean case, that to first order in the ψ4 coupling 21 constant, the Gaussian fixed point is stable. Higher order calculations are possible using a perturbation expansion in both thecoupling constant and βc − β = s, where βc = 1.On the Cayley tree, which has an effective graph spectral dimension d˜ = 2 (or β ≡ (d˜/2) − 1 = 0), we find thatthe second order calculation does not yield a non-Gaussian fixed point, as should indeed be expected for the Isingmodel on a Bethe lattice. Explicit solutions for the eigenvectors of the graph Laplacian involve much reduced cyclic and acyclic permutation symmetries, in comparison to the much larger translational and rotational symmetry present in the case of periodic latices. The coupling term that is fourth order in the fields does not scale with a power of s, leading to the stability of the Gaussian fixed point at second order.We have also applied the spectral renormalization group to a scalar ψ4 model on the diamond lattice, which we have found numerically to have a spectral dimension of d˜ = 1.70. However, here again we found no non-Gaussian fixed point of the RG transformations up to second order, due to the same mechanism. This, however is problematic, since it is known that the Ising model on the diamond lattice exhibits a phase transition with ergodicity breaking at a finite temperature in the thermodynamic limit [11], with non-classical exponents [9]. The diamond lattice, as well as its Laplace eigenvectors have a further reduced symmetry consisting of just the “right/left” and “up/down” permutations [10], which apparently leads to this result. This may imply that the correct critical behavior on lattices without translational symmetry are not accessible within a perturbative approach via the spectral RG. [1] E. Aygün, A. Erzan, J. Phys.

Two dimensional honeycomb structures derived from other Group IV elements and Group IIIV compounds are generating significant current interest because of unusual electronic and magnetic properties. Based recent studies published, the properties of silicene, hBN, h-MoS2 appear to be complementary to graphene and hence provide new physical and chemical properties. Therefore, the main object of my talk is to present exceptional electronic properties of two dimensional hexagonal structures. To understand how these properties are affected by adatoms and defects, the effects of foreign atoms and vacancies on the electronic structure will be also discussed. We found that adatoms and defects can induce important changes in the electronic and magnetic properties of two dimensional structures. For example, the semimetallic graphene with carriers behaving as massless Dirac fermions can be metallized as a result of adsorption of Li or Ca atoms and hence Li or Ca covered graphene can serve as a high-capacity hydrogen storage medium with each adsorbed Li or Ca absorbing up to four hydrogen molecules. Functionalization of two dimensional structures through adatom adsorption and vacancy creation appears to be a promising way to extend the application of monolayer hexagonal structures. 23 Molecular and Atomic Mechanisms on Metal Nanostructures Mine Konuka,b, Sondan Durukanoğluc, d a Department of Physics, Istanbul Technical University, 34469 Istanbul, Turkey b Department of Physics, Pîrî Reis University, 34940 Istanbul, Turkey c Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabancı University, 34950 Istanbul, Turkey d Nanotechnology Research and Application Center, Sabancı University, 34950 Istanbul, Turkey We investigated the mechanisms underlying the controlled motion of adatoms and molecules on metal surfaces at atomic scale. The role of reaction conditions in the growth of cubic Ag nano-clusters is determined using molecular dynamic simulations based on the potential extracted from the embedded atom method. In the simulations, we successfully reproduced the experimentally observed growth modes and our results interestingly show that the growth modes of Ag nano-cubes can readily be controlled through fine-tuning of diffusion rates with respect to the single atom mobility on the respective facets. We performed further simulations to understand the nature of the atomic-scale motions of molecular motors on metal surfaces using density functional theory calculations and also molecular static calculations based on the charge optimized many body potential. We will discuss atomistic nature of the observed translational and rotational motion of triptycene molecules (C20H14) on Cu surface. 24 Controlling Frustration, Chaos, and Novel Ordering in Spin-Glasses Efe Ilker, Sabancı University, Tuzla, Istanbul 34956 Turkey Spin-glass phases and phase transitions for q-state clock models and their q→∞ limit the XY model, in spatial dimension d= 3, are studied by a detailed renormalization-group study that is exact for the d = 3 hierarchical lattice and approximate for the cubic lattice. For even q [1], in addition to the now well established chaotic rescaling behavior of the spin-glass phase, each of the two types of spin-glass phase boundaries displays, under renormalization-group trajectories, their own distinctive chaotic behavior. These chaotic renormalization-group trajectories subdivide into two categories, namely as strong coupling chaos (in the spin-glass phase and, distinctly, on the spinglass–ferromagnetic phase boundary) and as intermediate-coupling chaos (on the spin-glass–paramagnetic phase boundary). We thus characterize each different phase and phase boundary exhibiting chaos by its distinct Lyapunov exponent, which we calculate. We show that, under renormalization group, chaotic trajectories and fixed distributions are mechanistically and quantitatively equivalent. The phase diagrams for arbitrary even q, for all non-infinite q, have a finite-temperature spin-glass phase. Furthermore, the spin-glass phases exhibit a universal ordering behavior, independent of q. The spin-glass phases and the spinglass–paramagnetic phase boundaries exhibit universal fixed distributions, chaotic trajectories and Lyapunov exponents. In the XY model limit, our calculations indicate a zero-temperature spin-glass phase. Very distinctive orderings and phase diagram structures are found for odd q.[3] These models exhibit asymmetric phase diagrams, as is also the case for quantum Heisenberg spin-glass models. No finite-temperature spin-glass phase occurs. For all odd q > 5, algebraically ordered antiferromagnetic phases occur. One such phase is dominant and occurs for all q > 5. Other such phases occupy small lowtemperature portions of the phase diagrams and occur for 5 ≤ q ≤ 15. All algebraically ordered phases have the same structure, determined by an attractive finite-temperature sink fixed point where a dominant and a subdominant pair states have the only non-zero Boltzmann weights. The phase transition critical exponents quickly saturate to the high q value. Furthermore, we realized that in spinglass systems, frustration can be adjusted continuously and considerably,[2] without changing the antiferromagnetic bond probability p, by using locally correlated quenched randomness, as we demonstrate on hypercubic lattices and hierarchical lattices. Such overfrustrated and underfrustrated Ising systems on hierarchical lattices in d = 3 and 2 are studied. With the removal of just 51% of frustration, a spin-glass phase occurs in d = 2. With the addition of just 33% frustration, the spin-glass phase disappears in d = 3. Sequences of 18 different phase diagrams for different levels of frustration 25 are calculated in both dimensions. In general, frustration lowers the spin glass ordering temperature. At low temperatures, increased frustration favors the spin-glass phase (before it disappears) over the ferromagnetic phase and symmetrically the antiferromagnetic phase. When any amount, including infinitesimal, frustration is introduced, the chaotic rescaling of local interactions occurs in the spin-glass phase. Chaos increases with increasing frustration, as can be seen from the increased positive value of the calculated Lyapunov exponent λ, starting from λ = 0 when frustration is absent. The calculated runaway exponent y_R of the renormalization-group flows decreases with increasing frustration to y_R = 0 when the spin-glass phase disappears. From our calculations of entropy and specific-heat curves in d = 3, it is shown that frustration lowers in temperature the onset of both long- and short-range order in spin-glass phases, but is more effective on the former. From calculations of the entropy as a function of antiferromagnetic bond concentration p, it is shown that the ground-state and low-temperature entropy already mostly sets in within the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phases, before the spin-glass phase is reached.

The magnitude of these effects is determined by the anomalous conductivities. In most of the cases these conductivities are on-loop exact. I will discuss the issue of renormalization of these conductivities both from the field theory and from the holographic point of view. In particular I will identify the holographic counterpart to the radiative corrections that arise from the dynamical gluon fields as the axionic degrees of freedom in the bulk. It turns out that the effects of the gluonic contribution to the anomalous conductivities of order N_f/N_c hence detectable only in the Veneziano limit in holography. 27 A1 Analysis on Target specific Transcription Activator-like Effectors by Free Energy Perturbation Calculations and Perturbation-Response Scanning Sofia Piepoli*, Batu Erman, Canan Atılgan Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Sabanci University, Istanbul [email protected] Bacterial plant pathogens belonging to Xanthomonasgenus infect cells by injecting Transcription Activator-Like effector(TALE) proteins to modify plant gene expression1. DNA binding TALE proteins have been modified to generate site specific engineered TALENs (transcription activator-like nucleases)2. Crystal structure of the PthXo1 TALE protein bound to its DNA target reveals specificity of interactions between the two molecules at the sequence level3. TALE DNA binding domains consist of ~17 repeats, each consisting of 33-34 conserved amino acids. Alignment of the sequence of the repeats shows perfect homology except for the amino acids at positions 12-13 (repeat variable diresidues-RVDs) which specifically bind to DNA bases4according to the code: HD→C, NG→T, NI→A and NN→G in most cases, while there are some exceptions. Not all repeats have to perfectly contact DNA to bind and it is unclear how TALE pairs up with a target DNA sequence while avoiding off-target sites. To address this problem, we apply molecular dynamics-based tools to quantify specific binding stability, mimicking cellular conditions. We analyze selected point mutations introduced into the RVD region of the protein sequence and predict resulting free energy differences using detailed freeenergy perturbation calculation5. Identification of key residues for stability of binding at specific positions will allow computational design of TALEs that can be experimentally tested for binding affinity and off-target specificity. By systematically applying this method, we interpret the role of local interactions in contributing to the overall stability of the system. Additionally, we investigate the role of other residues along the repeat and their allosteric effect on the stability of the RVD by using the Perturbation-Response Scanning (PRS)6statistical method.While directed forces are applied on a single target residue, the resulting relative changes in next residues coordinates are recorded in magnitude and directionality. The analysis is aimed to contribute to the study of TALE-DNA binding mechanism regulation. 1) Kay S., Bonas U.

Apart from the study in literature, pedestrian movement is investigated by using ant algorithms. Ants communicate each other by dropping a chemical, called pheromone, on the substrate while they crawl forward. Similarly, it is considered that oppositely moving pedestrians drop a ‘visual pheromone’ on their way and it might cause attractive or repulsive interactions. This phenomena is introduced to modelling the pedestrians’ walking preference. By this way, decision-making process of pedestrians will be based on ‘the instinct of following’. At some values of densities, the relationships of velocity-density and flux-density will be analyzed for different evoporation rates of ‘visual pheromone’. The most interesting result is that lane formation and phase transitions are observed for certain evaporation rate for visual pheromones.

This interest in nano–materials has been intensified by the development of new, cheap and efficient synthesis techniques of these materials. It has been proven by most researchers in the literature that some thermal, optical and mechanical properties of nano-materials are enhanced with respect to those of their bulk counterparts [1]. Especially, nano–systems have revealed some extraordinary properties with decreasing size that do not appear in their bulk counterparts because they are small enough in size to create quantum confinement effects [1]. In particular, these properties of nanomaterials are due to the increasing surface area to volume ratio with decreasing crystalline sizes. We are reporting the white light (WL) emission from metal oxide nano-powders under laser diode excitation, which is one of these unexpected behavior of nano-particles. We have obtained white light emission with high efficiency and color rendering index (CRI) approaching the theoretical limit. The production of a broad band (ranging from 400 to 900 nm) white light following the monochromatic infrared laser light (803.5 and 975 nm) excitation was achieved from both nominally un-doped and rare earth and transition metal ions-doped oxide nano-powders. Experimental results indicate that such an emission feature is a nano-scale phenomenon, cannot be ascribed to an overlap of sharp emission bands in the un-doped case and, even if assisted by the dopant presence, is a host matrix-related process. The spectral distribution of the detected WL resembles very closely that of an incandescent lamp, which in turn is the most comfortable light to human eyes. Our experimental results make our WL emission very interesting at both the fundamental and the applicative level and may open the way to an alternative route with respect to incandescent lamps. 33 B1 34 B2 Dönen iki boyutlu spin-orbit bağlı fermi gazlar Enes Doko İki boyutlu dönen spin-orbit bağlı (SOB) fermi gazlar yerel yoğunluk yaklaşımı altında ve hiç girdap oluşmayacağı varsayımı ile incelenecektir.

An iterative method of solution is constructed [1] to solve the temporal evolution of the coupled equations for the temperature distribution and the pressure inside the bubble. It is shown that the first iterative solution leads to the first order law of the gas pressure as a polytropic power law of the bubble wall temperature and of the bubble radius, with the polytropic index given as an explicit function of the isentropic exponent of the gas. The resulting first order law of the gas pressure reduces to the classical isothermal and adiabatic laws in the appropriate limits. The bubble wall temperature is obtained from the PlessetZwick solution [2,3] of the energy equation from the liquid side coupled to the equation of spherical bubble dynamics. The first order gas pressure law is then applied to an acoustically driven cavitation bubble coupled to the Rayleigh-Plesset equation of spherical bubble dynamics. Results obtained for a typical acoustic signal show that the bubble wall temperature pulses during collapse and rebound can become an order of magnitude higher than the liquid temperature, which agree with the recent results of molecular dynamics simulations [4].

We address the problems of whether the release process follows the same trend at serum (~7.4) and endosomal (~5.6) pH, and if there is communication between the lobes. In the absence of the transferrin-receptor, we study the dynamics of the full structure as well as the separate lobes in different closed, partially open, and open conformations under neutral and endosomal pH conditions. Results corroborate those experimental observations underscoring the distinguishing effect of pH on the dynamics of hTf. Furthermore, in a total of 2 μs molecular dynamics simulations, residue fluctuations elucidate the crosstalk between the lobes correlated by the peptide linker bridging them at serum pH, while their correlations are lost under endosomal conditions. At serum pH, interplay between relative mobility of the lobes is correlated with iron release rates, rendering the initial conformational change an important contributor to the dynamics under these conditions. Interestingly, C-lobe opening lags behind that of the N-lobe as long as there is at least one iron bound, making the more stable C-lobe an attractive target for recognition by receptors. At endosomal pH, both lobes readily open, making irons available for delivery. 41 B9 Smoothing discontinuities in Predator Prey Models Engin Kandiran Department of Information Systems and Technologies, Yeditepe University, Ataşehir, Istanbul, Turkey and The Institute for Graduate Studies in Sciences and Engineering, Boğaziçi University, İstanbul Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] Avadis Hacinliyan Department of Physics and Department of Information Systems and Technologies, Yeditepe University, Ataşehir, Istanbul, Turkey E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Many modern predator prey systems and their generalizations such as the HANDY model used in ecological systems or systems with general functional response involve discontinuous functions. This causes difficulties in simulating such systems in order to obtain characteristics such as stationary points, local and structural stability, Lyapunov Exponents or limit cycles. These parameters are very important in understanding the models. The distinction between differential equations and discretized maps is also of interest, particularly in two dimensional systems. In this work, we propose to replace discontinuous functions by continuous functions that approximate them in order to facilitate the analysis. For example, the step function can be replaced by an inverse tangent or inverse hyperbolic tangent. Keywords: Predator-Prey models, Discontinuous functions, Local and Structural Stability, Simulation of Chaotic Syetems and Lyapunov Exponents.. 42 B10 BEC in curved backround Birses Debir First, we will introduce the basics of a Bose-Einstein condensate on the flat space. Necessity of the Heat kernel expansion for a curved space- time will be pointed out. Then to calculate the non-relativistic Schroedinger equation, we will interfere the metric and obtain an analogue optical metric. Therefore we will satisfy the pure laplacian that the kernel expasion required. Afterwards we are going to use the laplacian in the Heat kernel expansion and Mellin transformation. As a result of these techniques certain coefficients are going to come occur, and we will need area and volume of the container to find them. So after handling geometrical calculations , finally we will be left to find results for the thermodynamical variables in question and the horizon divergences. 43 C1 44 C2 45 C3 46 C4 47 C5 Kesikli zaman kuantum yürüyüşleri ile kubit hali aktarımı İskender Yalçınkaya, Zafer Gedik Sabancı Üniversitesi Bir kuantum iletişim ağında hal aktarımının esası, sözkonusu halin ne olduğundan bağımsız olarak onu ağın iki noktası arasında aktarabilmektir.

We use a set of 553 single chain proteins with sequence homology less than 25% and sizes between 54 and 1021(2). Each residue is considered as a point located at its Cβ atom (Cα for glycine) and two residues are considered interacting if the Euclidean distance between them is less than a cutoff, chosen as 7 A in this study(3). We randomizethe native structure by switching links between randomly selected nodes while keeping the total number of edges constant(4). We compare the probabilities of finding motifsin networks from three different classes: (i) proteins, (ii) crystal lattices, and (iii) randomly generated graphs with the given Poisson degree distribution andthe given average clustering coefficient (3). Crystal lattices are examples of perfect order and regularity while random networks are in the extreme opposite. We place the native and the randomized protein structures onthis randomness scale. For crystals, some lattice specific motifs (for example, diamonds in simple cubic) are observed with a probability of ~1, while other motifs with four nodes are very rare. In contrast, random networks display low probability of having any motif and the fully connected four-node-motif is the rarest.Proteins are found to inherit all types of possible four-node motifs except the diamond motif with a missing link. The probabilities of all other motifs lie in the interval [0.7, 1]. By using this approach, it is possible todistinguish proteins from lattices and randomly generated networks using motif probability of occurrences. Perhaps more important, we find that proteins are more similar to random networks with given degree distribution and average clustering coefficient than networks of crystal lattices. References 1.

Miniaturization of systems down to micro scale enables to observe fast reactions within small volumes. The purpose of this study is to build a micro-fluidic stopped-flow device in order to be able to monitor the iron release and binding dynamics of Ferric Binding Proteins under different environmental conditions in milliseconds. The experimental data will be compared with MD (Molecular Dynamics) simulations of the same process. A micro-fluidic chip housing compartments of mixing chamber and detection cell is designed and connected to a high-pressure syringe pump controlled by solenoid valves. Diamond shape fins are placed in the mixing chamber to achieve an effective mixing, which provides better kinetic results within smaller volumes. The detection cell is extended to the mixing chamber so as to capture the entire mixing process. The reaction is monitored with a high-speed camera, from which spectroscopic properties of the reaction can also be extracted. The advantage of this system over similar systems lies in its compactness, small scale, low cost and disposability [1].

Bu çalışmada, glukokortikoid almaçlardaki (reseptör) kortizol seçiciliğinin evrimsel olarak gelişmesinde rol oynayan amino asitlerin allosterik mekanizmadaki rolünü araştırdık *3-5+. Farklı evrimsel dönemlere ait dört farklı glukokortikoid almaç üzerinde yapılan moleküler benzetim çalışmaları ve mod etkileşim analizi yardımıyla, evrimsel olarak işlev değişikliğine yol açan ve almaçı sadece kortizole bağlanır hale getiren amino asit mutasyonlarının aynı zamanda farklı salınım modları arasındaki etkileşimlerde de önemli rol oynadığını, öte yandan aynı süreçte gerçekleşen ve işlev değişimine yol açmayan mutasyonların mod etkileşimi açısından da öne çıkmadığını gözledik. Özellikle, evrimsel süreçte işlev değişiminde en önemli rolü oynayan S106P mutasyonunun, mod etkileşiminde de en baskın konumda olduğunu gördük. En güçlü şekilde etkileşen salınım modlarının almaçlardaki ligand bağlanma bölgesini oluşturan sarmal bölgelerini birbirine bağlayan farklı döngüleri (loop) içermesi, global ve yerel (lokal) salınım modları arasındaki etkileşimin allosterik mekanizmada önemli rol oynadığı düşüncesini desteklerniteliktedir. Glukokortikoid almaçlardan elde edilen sonuçlar, mod etkileşimi analizinin proteinlerin yüzeyindeki işlevsel bölgeleri belirlemede önemli bir yardımcı araç olabileceğini göstermektedir.

Müstecaplıoğlu Koç Üniversitesi Kuantum termalleşme, kuantum termodinamik döngülerin önemli bir sürecidir. Kuantum Carnot döngüsü ilk defa Scully ve diğerleri tarafından incelenmiştir *1+. Özellikle kuantum termalleşme ise tek ve iki atomlu sistemlerle mikromazer modeli baz alınarak çalışılmıştır *2-3+. Yine bu çalışmalarda eşfazlılık (coherence) ve dolanıklık (entanglement) etkisi incelenmiştir. Biz de mikromazer modelinde W and GHZ durumları gibi üç atomlu rezervuarların etkisini inceledik. W rezervuarının oyuğu termalleştirebildiğini ve oyuk kayıpsız farz edildiğinde ortalama foton sayısının 3 olduğunu bulduk. GHZ rezervuarının ise oyuğu termalleştiremediğini gözlemledik. Ayrıca tek ve çift foton süreçlerinin etkisini de çalıştık. Önceki çalışmaları ve kendi çalışma sonuçlarımızı da kapsayan bazı termalleşme kurallarını ifade ettik. [1] Marlan O. Scully, M.
