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 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
In this study, clay based brick with micro pores was developed for thermal insulation
in the building materials. Turkey produces about 70% of the world hazelnut
production. The aim of this thesis is to reduce the thermal conductivity coefficient by
adding organic waste (hazelnut shell) into clay mixture to form porosity during firing
of clay bricks. Moreover, it is to maintain the similar mechanical properties by
adding inorganic waste (red mud) into clay mixture. The development of a highly
porous bricks with applicable mechanical strength will contribute to save energy in
the building ...Daha fazlası
Resident satisfaction is an important issue in urban regeneration projects (URP). In the western countries, the resident satisfaction from residential environments continues to be an important topic for researchers and the data found well preserved and integrated into real projects. In Turkey, yet, there is little research on residential satisfaction in many urban regeneration projects implemented. In Turkey, up to the present, research carried out about urban analysis and residential satisfaction needed in any urban regeneration project, is little evident in implemented UR projects.

Nowadays, Expert System (ES)s are used widely in many areas to solve real world problems. Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are used to obtain timely and accurately decision about solution of daily problems in ESs designing because AI can mimic behaviours and thought system of people. Especially in medical area, there are many researches and applications using ESs based on various AI techniques to obtain diagnosis for any diseases.

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
Fouling is the accumulation of undesired particles on heat transfer surfaces which affects the heat transfer performance of a heat exchanger negatively. The accumulation of these particles prevents heat from being transformed through the heat exchangers by generating a fouling layer-like insulation. The main aim of the thesis is to investigate the machine learning algorithms to classify and predict the fouling status of PHE used in combi-boilers, to generate the background of the predictive maintenance, besides investigating the fouling effect on PHEs in terms of heat transfer and energy consu ...Daha fazlası
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
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapy that induces photochemical reactions for treating many diseases including cancer using the advantages of light. It is based on the interaction of light at a specific wavelength and light-sensitive chemical which does not have dark toxicity. Thus, PDT is an anticancer therapeutic modality yielding cancer cell death. As with other anticancer therapies, some drawbacks reduce or limit the efficacy of PDT. To eliminate the disadvantages resulting in increased efficacy of PDT, it is combined with other anticancer treatment methods. Together use of ...Daha fazlası
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
At the core of our growing societies, energy supply stands as one of the major concerns today, and it will be an inevitable challenge for our near future. As the nations are looking to find solutions for the transition from fossil fuels – depleting at a high rate – to alternative energy sources, solar energy through PV cells is getting attention as an affordable and easily implemented option especially for power supply in commercial and residential buildings.
Al-Si döküm alaşımlarında bir güçlendirme mekanizması olarak uygulanan tane
inceltme işlemi, ağırlıklı olarak otomotiv endüstrisinde kullanılan A356 alaşımı söz
konusu olduğunda kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Ti-B içeren tane incelticilerin
kullanımının neden olduğu solma ve zehirlenme etkilerinin ardından, araştırmacılar
yeni bir tane inceltici bileşimi arayışına girmişlerdir. Son yıllarda detaylı olarak
çalışılan Nb-B içeren tane inceltici ana alaşımın olumlu etkilerinin görülmesi ancak bu
