Manufacturing and Characterization of Peptide Coated Polylactic Acid Based Composites for Various Medical Applications

Metehan ATAGÜR

Within the scope of this thesis, PLA-based composites have been developed and coated with peptide to increase biocompatibility for temporary implant applications and PLA biocomposite materials have been produced. HA and β-TCP were used as additive materials, and PLLA and PDLA polymers were used as polymer matrix. The main purpose is to obtain the composite with the best mechanical properties and to improve the biocompatibility properties as a result of coating this final material with peptide. In the first stage, 10% HA (PLA-10 HA), 10% β-TCP (PLA-10TCP) and 5% HA + 5% β-TCP (PLA-5TCP-5HA) are ...Daha fazlası

Evaluation of organic waste materials as bio-polymeric admixtures in cement based composite mortars Organik atık malzemelerin biyo-polimerik katkı olarak çimento bağlayıcılı kompozit harçlarda değerlendirilmesi

Kalkan, Şevket Onur

ABSTRACTIn this study, the effect of a new generation bio-polymeric admixture on the physical and mechanical properties of cement mortars is examined in detail. The bio-polymeric admixture is prepared by grinding egg shells, apricot kernel shells, hazelnut kernel shells, walnut kernel shells, and olive seeds in micronized sizes. The evaluation of the bio-polymeric admixtures, which are produced as wastes, among high production materials such as concrete and mortar derivative products, provides an opportunity for better disposal and management of these wastes.ÖZETBu çalışmada, yeni nesil biyopo ...Daha fazlası

Evaluation of Polymeric Composite Material Alternatives for Metal Fulcrum Ring Part Used in Dry Friction Clutches

Ibrahim Can KAYMAZ

As same as in other industries, the automotive industry is one of the industries that expects continuous improvements. In this context, it is very important to integrate new technologies into the industry and to use new, alternative materials for industrial products. With the increase of these studies, cost and weight reduction are improved while serious advantages are obtained by maintaining the product's performance. The suitability of production with additive manufacturing of the fulcrum ring, which is a sub-component of the clutch cover assembly in the dry friction clutch system, acts as a ...Daha fazlası

The role of local food festivals in destination branding, Denizli example Destinasyon markalaşmasında yerel yiyecek festivallerinin rolü, Denizli örneği

Aktürk, Hatice

ÖZETDestinasyonlar artan rekabet koşulları içinde üstünlüğü sağlamak için markalaşma yoluna gitmektedirler. Bu süreçte en sık ihtiyaç duyulan şey, markalaşma sürecine giren destinasyonun ön plana çıkartacağı yerel, kültürel ve turistik değerlerdir. Türkiye'de geleneksel özellikler taşıyan ve yerel ve kültürel birtakım değerleri yaşatmak ve tanıtmak için farklı temalarda birçok festival düzenlenmektedir. Bu festivaller içinde önemli bir yere sahip olan yerel yiyecek festivalleri, destinasyona ekonomik katkı sağlamaktadır.

Fabrication of hysteresis-free perovskite solar cells by SAM modified electrode SAM modifiyeli ITO elektrot ile histeresis östermeyen perovskit güneş hücresi üretimi

Yalçın, Eyyup

ABSTRACTEnergy has become one of the main problems of humanity after the industrial revolution and the rapid rise in world population. Most energy resources depend on fossil fuels, which causes environmental problems. Solar energy is a clean and sustainable alternative to the increasing world energy demand. In this context, perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are particularly attractive due to ability to achieve very high efficiencies. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PSCs has rapidly grown from 3.8 in 2009 to over 25.5 in 2022, which making it fastest advancing solar cell technology to date ...Daha fazlası

The Malnutrition Risk and Physical Activities in Home-Dwelling Older Adults During the COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Study

Objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, elderly adults’ nutritional habits, physical activity levels and the levels of malnutrition were affected. This study investigated the prevalence of malnutrition and physical fitness and exercise activity levels in home dwelling elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted with a face-to-face questionnaire on 670 (male: 241, female: 429) home-dwelling older adults with a mean age of 70.66±5.83 years. The nutritional screening and evaluation were performed using Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), and ...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

The impacts of governance on tourism: a macro perspective Yönetişimin turizm üzerindeki etkileri: makro bir perspektif

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

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
