Material and Method: The population of this cross-sectional study included individuals who could be reached through social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) and e-mail between July and October 2020, and the sample of the study consisted of 522 literate individuals who had internet access and agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected using the personal ...Daha fazlası
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of bacteremia associated with an orthodontic
stripping procedure. Methods: The study included 29 orthodontic patients (mean age, 18.2 6 3.4 years). We
used a standardized stripping procedure: a perforated stripping disk with a contra-angle hand piece was used
at a low speed (\15,000 rpm; 10 seconds) on the mandibular anterior teeth. Blood samples were collected
by inserting a cannula into the left antecubital fossa. A baseline sample was taken before treatment, and
a second sample was taken after the stripping procedure. T ...Daha fazlası
This study proposes an appropriate optimization model for determining a new composite material's mechanical properties by neuro-regression analysis. This new composite material is obtained by combining hemp and polypropylene fibers. It was developed for the sector of upholstered furniture. First, different multiple regression models have been tried for input and output values. The R2 training, R2 testing, R2 validation, and minimum, maximum values were determined for each model. Then, the stochastic optimization approach is used to predict and optimize the mechanical properties of the new bioc ...Daha fazlası
Thyroid function tests were performed on 44 patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and on 35 healthy children as the control group. In the panent group total triiodothyronin (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), free triiodothyronin (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were found in wholly normal ranges. These values have shown no significant difference with respect to those of die control group (p>0.05). It was snüdng that -13 %, 41 % and 55 % of the padents were under 3 percentile according to length, weight and head circumference respectively. Thyroid funcdon tests of ...Daha fazlası
The Internet of Things (IoT) provides solutions to many daily life problems. Smartphones with user-friendly applications make use of artificial intelligence solutions offered by deep learning techniques. In this work, we provide a sustainable solution to automatically monitor and control the irrigation process for detected flowers by combining deep learning and IoT techniques. The proposed flower status tracker and self-irrigation system (FloTIS) is implemented using a cloud-based server and an Android-based application to control the status of the flower which is being monitored by the local ...Daha fazlası
Abstract In this study, machine learning-based models have been used to estimate the return loss parameters of the operational resonant frequency of the U-slotted UHF RFID antenna. The data set utilized, consisting of 544 instances, has been collected from the simulation software as a consequence of the parametric evaluation of the antenna design parameters. Distinct machine learning methods have been used on two different types of output data, complex and linear scattering parameters, and the models' prediction performance has been evaluated. In the single-output regression models, a mean-squ ...Daha fazlası
Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) of γ titanium aluminide is the subject of the current research. Due to the large number of process variables and sophisticated stochastic process mechanisms, selecting the best machining parameter combinations for increased cutting efficiency and accuracy is a difficult task in WEDM. In general, there is no perfect combination that can produce the fastest cutting speed and the finest surface finish quality at the same time. For this purpose, the data were selected from a literature study. This study describes an attempt to devise a suitable machining ...Daha fazlası
This study investigated Holothuria tubulosa, Gmelin 1791 in the Dardanelles Strait from April 2013 to March 2014, in order
to outline the morphological characteristics, reproductive patterns and the relationship between population characteristics and
environmental parameters. 15 to 30 individuals of this species were sampled monthly at three stations. There was a negative allometry
between length and weight, with gutted weight being the most reliable measurement for this species. The reproductive
patterns of the species were identified for the first time for examples from the Turkish coast ...Daha fazlası
Objective
We evaluated the detachment force, amount of deformation, fracture mode, and pull-out force of 3 different wires used for bonded lingual retainer fabrication.
Methods
We tested 0.0215-inch five-stranded wire (PentaOne, Masel; group I), 0.016 × 0.022-inch dead-soft eight-braided wire (Bond-A-Braid, Reliance; group II), and 0.0195-inch dead-soft coaxial wire (Respond, Ormco; group III). To test detachment force, deformation, and fracture mode, we embedded 94 lower incisor teeth in acrylic blocks in pairs. Retainer wires were bonded to the teeth and vertically directed force was ap ...Daha fazlası
Global crises are increasing day by day due to the rapid depletion of energy supplies around the planet. One of the goals of engineering is to prevent this situation by developing innovative solutions to this rapid energy consumption that has disappeared in the world. A solution could be to reduce the energy consumption of the machines that are used during production. In this study, a new design technique based on the neuro-regression approach and non-linear regression modeling was offered as an alternative to Taguchi design to reduce energy consumption. Thus, a cutting parameter optimization ...Daha fazlası
This study investigates the optimum weld area on a popular aerospace alloy (i.e., Inconel 825) made by the electron beam welding technique. Welding speed (S), beam current (I), accelerating voltage (V), and beam oscillation (O) are considered as process parameters to study the weld bead area (WA) of the weldments. An instructive study on multiple non-linear neural regression analyses has been done as a basic introduction to neuro regression modeling with artificial neural network (ANN) philosophy. To do this, the experimental prediction has been modeled with 14 predictive functional structures ...Daha fazlası
