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
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
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
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
This study was performed to determine the concentrations
of some trace metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn, and Fe) in
Holothuria tubuosa (Gmelin, 1788) belonging to Echinoderm
species and in sediments that they live at three different stations
(Gelibolu, Umur Bey/Lapseki, and Dardanos) on
Dardanelles Strait between April 2013 and March 2014. The
mean trace metal concentrations determined in H. tubulosa
and sediment were as follows: Cd 0.18 mg/kg, Cu 2.43 mg/
kg, Pb 2.09 mg/kg, Ni 14.58 mg/kg, Zn 16.86 mg/kg, and Fe
73.46 mg/kg and Cd 0.70 mg/kg, Cu 5.03 mg/kg, Pb
14.57 mg/kg, Ni 27.15 mg/kg, ...Daha fazlası
The levels of heavy metals viz., Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn and Al were determined by ICP-AES in the
muscles and total bodies of Mullus barbatus (Linnaeus 1758), Trachurus trachurus (Linnaeus 1758),
Engraulis encrasicolus (Linnaeus 1758) captured from the coast of Sinop. The order of the levels of
the heavy metals in the total fish samples was Fe > Zn > Al > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cd, whereas in the
muscles, the order was Zn > Fe > Cu > Al > Pb > Ni > Cd. The experiment results are discussed by
comparison with literature values.
Destinations are most attractive for the tourists with their unique cultural
elements and food is a substantial amount of the unique local identity. Therefore,
food tourism has always been a very important aspect of the destination and tourists
have always been eager to try unique tastes of the culinary culture in the destination
they are visiting. In this thesis study, the concepts of food tourism and food tourists
are explained in detail and their importance in the context of destinations is
mentioned with concrete reasons.

Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on earth. It is naturally regenerated by forests and cotton plantations with a speed of 10 billion metric tons per year regularly. Not only its natural reproduction makes it ecologically beneficial but also its biological degradability makes cellulose an ‘eco-friendly material’. Applications of cellulose is limited due to its insolubility in water. Contrarily, its water-soluble derivatives, especially cellulose ethers, are found in nearly all the products we are using in our daily life.
Although cellulose is the main raw material for producing ce ...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
Scorpionfish (Scorpaena porcus) is a demersal fish
species commercially important for its of which meat is tough
and delicious. The aim of this study was to determine heavy
metal (Al, Cu, Ni, As, Cd, Hg, Pb, U) concentrations in this
fish species which is traditionally consumed in the Black Sea
Area and, to compare the concentrations of various toxic elements
in different organs of the fish specimens (muscle, liver,
gill, and skin). Within this scope, the mineralization was performed
using microwave digestion system. Thirty-two scor
pionfish caught from Sinop Inland Port during 2010 w ...Daha fazlası
