TANCAN UYSAL

Objectives: The aims of the present study were (1) to determine ethnic differences in craniofacial dimensions between Turkish and Saudi populations and (2) to identify possible gender differences between males and females, based on a sample of untreated young adult subjects with normal occlusions and well-balanced faces. Methods: In total, 163 cephalometric radiographs were traced and evaluated to compare untreated adults of Turkish and Saudi ethnicity. The Turkish group comprised 86 subjects; 45 females and 41 males. The Saudi group comprised 77 subjects; 39 females and 38 males. For st ...Daha fazlası

Treatments of horizontal root fractures: four case reports

EBRU KÜÇÜKYILMAZ

Horizontal root fractures are rare in comparison to other types of injuries and the reported prevalence in the literature is between 0.5% and 7%. The treatment and prognosis of root fractures depend on many variables, the most important being the length of time between trauma and treatment, degree of dislocation and mobility, site of fracture, fixation period, stage of root development, age of patient, and quality of treatment. The ideal healing type is hard tissue healing. The aim of these case reports is to present four different patients who had horizontal root fractures of imma ...Daha fazlası

Influence of soft drinks on dental enamel: An in vitro study

EBRU KÜÇÜKYILMAZ | | | |

This in vitro study was to evaluate the erosive potential of four soft drinks at different times on bovine teeth by profilometry. Bovine incisors buccal side was sectioned with a diamond saw and a total of 100 enamel blocks were prepared (8 × 4 × 0.5 mm). Five specimens each were exposed to 60 ml of soft drinks (Sprite, Coca Cola, Cappy-orange and Ayran) for 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 minutes in a continuously vibrating soft drinks bath in a beaker at room temperature. Surface loss of the specimens was determined with a profilometry. The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tuke ...Daha fazlası

Surgical Treatment Of Symptomatic Coiling Or Kinking Internal Carotid Artery

GALİP AKHAN | ALİ GÜRBÜZ | LEVENT YILIK

Coiling of the artery is a rare morphologic entity most frequently described in the internal carotid artery. Herein we present two cases with symptomatic kinked internal carotid artery: one suffering from paresthesia of the right arm and speech disturbances and the other suffering from weakness of the left half of the body and speech disturbances. Both patients were treated surgically. None of the patients experienced any peri- or postoperative complications.

A Novel, Nelder-Mead Optimization Approach, based on Neuro-regression modeling for the Energy Efficiency Parameters of End Milling Process

ŞEYDA İŞBİLİR

Global crises are increasing day by day due to the rapid depletion of energy supplies around the planet. One of the goals of engineering is to prevent this situation by developing innovative solutions to this rapid energy consumption that has disappeared in the world. A solution could be to reduce the energy consumption of the machines that are used during production. In this study, a new design technique based on the neuro-regression approach and non-linear regression modeling was offered as an alternative to Taguchi design to reduce energy consumption. Thus, a cutting parameter optimization ...Daha fazlası

Estimation of Scattering Parameters of U-Slotted Rectangular RFID Patch Antenna with Machine Learning Models

İsmail AKDAĞ

Abstract In this study, machine learning-based models have been used to estimate the return loss parameters of the operational resonant frequency of the U-slotted UHF RFID antenna. The data set utilized, consisting of 544 instances, has been collected from the simulation software as a consequence of the parametric evaluation of the antenna design parameters. Distinct machine learning methods have been used on two different types of output data, complex and linear scattering parameters, and the models' prediction performance has been evaluated. In the single-output regression models, a mean-squ ...Daha fazlası

Disasters and Migration: Kahramanmaras Earthquakes

On 6th February 2023, two consecutive earthquakes occurred in our country with a magnitude of 7.8 Mw in Kahramanmaras (Pazarcik) and 7.6 Mw in Kahramanmaras (Elbistan). Due to these earthquakes and aftershocks, 48,448 people have lost their lives in Türkiye. A bi-directional and very intense population movement from/to the earthquake area after these earthquakes was observed. Knowing the residence decisions of the disaster victims is important. In the face of the “disaster of the century”, “potential or actual” disaster victims or “pseudo disaster victims”, who exhibit the behavior of disaster ...Daha fazlası

Effect of LED-mediatedphotobiomodulation therapy on orthodontic tooth movement and root resorption in rats

TANCAN UYSAL

The aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the effects of light-emitting diode-mediated-photobiomodulation therapy (LPT), on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement (TM) and orthodontically induced root resorption, in rats. Twentymale 12-week-oldWistar rats were separated into two groups (control and LPT) and 50 cN of force was applied between maxillary left molar and incisor with a coil spring. In the treatment group, LPT was applied with an energy density of 20 mW/cm2 over a period of 10 consecutive days directly over the movement of the first molar teeth area. The distance b ...Daha fazlası

Modeling and Design Optimization to Determine the Mechanical Properties of a Recent Composite

Naciye Burcu KARTAL

This study proposes an appropriate optimization model for determining a new composite material's mechanical properties by neuro-regression analysis. This new composite material is obtained by combining hemp and polypropylene fibers. It was developed for the sector of upholstered furniture. First, different multiple regression models have been tried for input and output values. The R2 training, R2 testing, R2 validation, and minimum, maximum values were determined for each model. Then, the stochastic optimization approach is used to predict and optimize the mechanical properties of the new bioc ...Daha fazlası

Effect of resveratrol on bone formation in the expanded inter-premaxillary suture: early bone changes

TANCAN UYSAL

Objective –The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of local resveratrol (RSVL) administration on bone formation in response to expansion of the interpremaxillary suture, in rats. Material and Methods – Twenty 50- to 60-day-old male Wistar rats were separated into two equal groups. Both groups were subjected to expansion, and 30 cN of force was applied to the maxillary incisors with helical-spring. Twenty-four hours after appliance placement, single-dose 10 lmol ⁄ kg RSVL in the dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) was injected to the inter-premaxillary suture in the experimental group. In ...Daha fazlası

Comparison of craniofacial morphology, head posture and hyoid bone position with different breathing patterns
