THE EFFECT OF PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS FOR IN VITRO WOUND HEALING EXPOSURE SYSTEMS
SUMMARY
Electromagnetic fields have achieved important role as stimulator and therapeutic facility in biology and medicine (Blank & Findl, 2013). The effects of low magnitude, low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields have been a period of study since past few decades, which was mainly on the treating soft tissue injuries, skin ulcers, nonuniform bone fractures and degenerative nerve healing (Hug & Röösli, 2012b). Chronic wounds are a major healthcare problem for patient morbidity and contribute signi ...Daha fazlası
Audiometry is the technique to identify the nature of hearing loss and to determine the threshold of hearing by recording responses of the patient after presenting him with auditory stimuli with varying intensity levels. There are different audiometric techniques and procedures used for achieving this. The vast majority of medical devices found in the marketplace as a commercial product for the field of audiology have been developed for clinical limited testing. These devices cannot be used for purposes other than those specified by the manufacturer. This has serious limitations in the experim ...Daha fazlası
SUMMARYPlastics have a wide application area in our daily life because of the properties such as being inexpensive, lightweight and easy to take shape. Plastics can lead to some problems such as endangering human health and reducing the life of the material, because the plastic surfaces are so available for microorganisms to form a biofim by holding onto the surface easily. Researches for antibacterial materials containing various natural and inorganic substances has been increased and become more important because of that people are often infected by microorganisms such as bacteria, molds, ye ...Daha fazlası
This thesis presents both control of mobile robots that can move by using collective motion algorithm and simulation of the robots during the motion. The orientation of the robots was controlled remotely by one user during the collective motion. The transmission of orientation data from the remote controller to the robots was done by using XBee modules. The control algorithm of collective motion was developed by using individual-based model. Two modes are considered during the control. These modes are search and swarm mode.
The collective motion was performed by robots that are moving with re ...Daha fazlası
Photocatalytic degradation and complete mineralization of toxic organic compounds in water, soil, and air in the presence of semiconductor materials have received much attention over the last decades. Electronic structure of semiconductors is characterized by a filled valence band and an empty conduction band. When the semiconductor is irradiated with light of sufficient energy corresponding to or exceeding its band gap, an electron is promoted into the conduction band, leaving a hole in the valence band. The electrons and holes are good reductants and powerful oxidants, respectively, and they ...Daha fazlası
The scarcity of suitable land for construction of engineering facilities and shortage of natural earth aggregates has highlighted the need for finding innovative way of construction. Nowadays problematic soils such as: soft clay, organic soils and liquefiable soils can be improved to the required civil engineering requirements by application of soil stabilization. Soil stabilization is a method intended to increase or preserve the stability of soil mass and chemical alteration of soil to improve engineering properties.
Generally, ground treatment techniques used are: densification, reinforcem ...Daha fazlası
The housing sector is one of the largest sector responsible for energy consumption in the world and Turkey. Sustainability is an emerging issue as energy related problems arises throughout the world. The sustainable sources are both clean energy sources and mostly renewable. Therefore, especially in terms of economy, these new energy sources are important opportunity for countries dependent on other countries energy. Turkey is rich in sustainable resources and especially Izmir province has good potential in terms of solar, wind and geothermal energy which are the most important sustainable sou ...Daha fazlası
Urban regeneration greatly affect marginalized groups both across the world and in Turkey and therefore it is a hot topic in the public discussions of urban context. One of those marginalized groups are Roma communities. Their neighborhoods, particularly inner urban areas, face social and physical decay due to discrimination against Roma communities. To address these social and physical problems, urban regenerations projects have been launched in Turkey in the name of improving life standards of Roma citizens. However, implementations could not go further than improving physical conditions of ...Daha fazlası
ASSESSMENT OF REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP ISSUES IN URBAN REGENERATION PROJECTS IN TURKEY SUMMARY Illegal settlements, urban sprawl and old urban areas can be transformed into livable spaces with urban regeneration projects. Especially because of the earthquake risk and its low quality building stock, Turkey is one of the countries where implementation of those projects is vital. However, real estate ownership problems experienced at the beginning of the urban regeneration projects hinder implementations of the projects. Therefore, identifying and eliminating those problems can help carry out the pr ...Daha fazlası
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) (nosocomial infection) are serious health
problems that occur when person acquires infection during stay in a hospital for
causes other reasons than that infection. Colonization of microorganisms pave the
way for deaths, in detail, Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is remarkable in
terms of mortality accounted for 15% of nosocomial infections. Ventilator associated
pneumonia (VAP) is common a disease, especially among patients that are on
connected ventilators in intensive care units. It is defined as the pneumonia, in which
occurs in at least 48 h ...Daha fazlası
The purpose of aggregating rubber is to increase concrete’s flexibility, elasticity, and
capacity to absorb energy. In some application of concrete, it is desired that concrete
should have low unit weight, high toughness and impact resistance. Although
concrete is the most commonly used construction material, it does not always fulfill
these requirements. In order to improve elastic properties of concrete and recycle the
waste materials, new applications have been realized recently. One of these
applications is the utilization of discarded tires in order to use together with
aggregate. ...Daha fazlası
The use of chemical anchors for the connection of existing structural elements with
the new elements during strengthening of existing structures is quite a preferred
method. Since in our country, chemical anchors are being widely used for repair and
strengthening works, there should be a standard of design and application on this topic.
Up to now, research done on the topic of chemical anchors, are mostly carried out on
concrete blocks of compressive strength 20 MPa and higher. Since parameters such as
distance from the edges, embedment depth and group effect were mostly ignored, the
