The design, manufacturing and applications of a novel led-based phototherapy device Yeni Bir LED tabanlı fototerapi cihazının tasarımı, üretimi ve uygulamaları

Yaşar, Büşra

ABSTRACTJaundice is a very common disease in infants. It is caused by an increase in the level of bilirubin in the blood. Its incidence in newborns is around 60-70. When jaundice becomes pathological, it can cause much damage to the body: brain damage, vision loss, lung and kidney dysfunction, and even death. With the increase of bilirubin and its accumulation in the organs, irreversible damage occurs. There are different methods such as exchange transfusion, medication, and phototherapy to remove bilirubin from the environment. Blue light with a wavelength of 430-490 nm is required for light ...Daha fazlası

A Systematic Review on Intragastric Balloons and TransPyloric Shuttle in Obesity Treatment

Endoscopic bariatric procedures in the treatment of obesity have become widespread in recent years. In this systematic review, it was aimed to assess the role of intragastric balloons and transpyloric shuttle in the treatment of obesity. A comprehensive search was conducted using the search terms “Intragastric Balloon” and “TransPyloric Shuttle” in PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases from 1st of December to 25th of December in 2020. Twenty-seven clinical studies (24 studies on intragastric balloons and 3 studies on transpyloric shuttle) were assessed. It is clear that both me ...Daha fazlası

Musculoskeletal Problems in Wheelchair Users: A Review Study

Mobility is the basic need for functionality in human life. Physically disabled people often require mobility aids and wheelchairs are the most commonly preferred assistive mobility devices for enhancing independent functional mobility. Today, powered and manual wheelchair technology is available. Manual wheelchair propulsion necessitates more repetitive loading, but because the human body is not designed for such movement, musculoskeletal and functional issues such as pain and joint limitation may arise among manual wheelchair users. They require more support from their spine, arm, elbow, and ...Daha fazlası

Investigation of Manufacturing and Characterization of Radar Absorbing Hybrid Structures

Mohamed Yousef Ali Issa

Significant development of radar systems after World War II has led to studying the interaction between electromagnetic waves at radar frequencies and different materials. One perspective of these studies is to ascertain ways of decreasing reflected waves. However, the applications have not been limited only to defense applications but also to different fields where human beings are exposed to electromagnetic waves to avoid potential health effects due to exposure to electromagnetic waves. Since the discovery of radar systems, many studies have focused on electromagnetic radiation and absorbin ...Daha fazlası

A comparison of the performances of conventional and low salinity water alternating gas injection for displacement of oil Petrolün geleneksel su gaz değişimli ötelenmesi ile az tuzlu su gaz değişimli ötelenmesi yöntemlerinin başarımlarının karşılaştırılması

Bucyanayandi, Emmanuel

ABSTRACTThe oil and natural gas reside in microscopic pores of subsurface rock layers called a reservoir rock. Besides there always at least two phases exist in oil and gas reservoirs. Therefore, the flow and displacement of oil into the production wells are influenced significantly by capillary forces. Due to the capillary and surface forces, the recovery of oil always remains at low percentages usually between 20 to 40. In order to increase the recovery factor several secondary and enhanced oil recovery techniques have been developed and implemented. The two secondary recovery methods namely ...Daha fazlası

The Effect of Nutriton and Lifestyle on Age-related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneraton is an eye disease that is one of the biggest causes of blindness worldwide. Age-related macular degeneration is a complex and multifactorial disease. Although there are many risk factors both environmental and genetic such as ethnicity, age, genetics, family history, and oxidativestress, the most effective and modifiable risk factor in preventing age-related macular degeneration is smoking. In addition, the fact that nutrition is a potentially modifiable risk factor suggeststhat it may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. In many epidemiological ...Daha fazlası

Can, Yağmur

ABSTRACTIn this study, the effects of world governance indicators on tourism were empirically analysed, from the 2005 to 2018 period. A literature review for governance is included in the first part. The second part contains the definition of world governance indicators (WGI). In the last part, panel co-integration, and causality analysis have been carried out worldwide within 137 countries. As a result of the analysis, a long-run relationship was found only between the change in the number of tourists and the political stability - no violence index. Also, other world governance indexes voice ...Daha fazlası
