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

Thyroid Functions in Children with Cerebral Palsy and Effects of Phénobarbital on Thyroid Hormones

GALİP AKHAN

Thyroid function tests were performed on 44 patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and on 35 healthy children as the control group. In the panent group total triiodothyronin (TT3), total thyroxine (TT4), free triiodothyronin (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels were found in wholly normal ranges. These values have shown no significant difference with respect to those of die control group (p>0.05). It was snüdng that -13 %, 41 % and 55 % of the padents were under 3 percentile according to length, weight and head circumference respectively. Thyroid funcdon tests of ...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

Resonance frequency analysis of orthodontic miniscrews subjected to light-emitting diode photobiomodulation therapy

TANCAN UYSAL

The aim of this prospective experimental study was to evaluate the effect of light-emitting diode (LED) photobiomodulation therapy (LPT) on the stability of immediately loaded miniscrews under different force levels, as assessed by resonance frequency analysis (RFA). Sixty titanium orthodontic miniscrews with a length of 8 mm and a diameter of 1.4 mm were implanted into cortical bone by closed flap technique in each proximal tibia of 15 New Zealand white adult male rabbits (n = 30). The animals were randomly divided into irradiated and control groups under different force levels (0, 150, and 3 ...Daha fazlası

Estimation of annual energy production of coupled vertical-axis wind turbines in a semi-complex terrain Eşli çalışan düşey eksenli rüzgar türbinlerinin yarı karmaşık bir sahadaki yıllık enerji üretiminin değerlendirilmesi

Başer, Ferhat Cem Ferhat Cem

ABSTRACTRecent research shows that the vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) can provide up to 6 - 9 times more power generation in the same footprint area when they are sited in proper configurations in contrast to horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). In order to site wind turbines in a field, it is necessary to do a wind resource assessment (WRA). This assessment provide important inputs for the placement, sizing and design detailing of the wind farm. In addition to the correct determination of the site, it is also critical to place the wind turbines in the most efficient way. When the necess ...Daha fazlası

Hussain, Habibu Aminu

ÖZETPratik kullanım amaçlı üretim sırasında kusur oluşturmadan ince bir grafen/altıgen bor nitrür (GBN) hibrit yaprağı üretmek neredeyse imkansızdır. Bu araştırmada, iki farklı yapı türü hakkında ayrıntılı bir tartışma yapılmıştır. İlk olarak, elmas şeklinde bir grafen (G) adası barındıran altıgen bor nitrür (h-BN) nano yaprak (XG @ h-BN) analiz edildi. İkinci olarak, elmas şekilli bir h-BN adası barındıran grafen nano yaprak (Xh-BN @ G) incelenmiştir. X, elmas şekilli adacığın boyutunu göstermekte olup 4, 9 ve 16 değerlerini almaktadır.

Production and Characterization of Self-Cleaning Clay-Based Roofing Tiles as a Building Material for Environmental Remediation

AHMET YAVAŞ

Within the scope of this thesis, two different semiconductor metal oxide coated visible light-driven self-cleaning clay-roofing tiles have been developed for environmental remediation. A ready-made commercial clay mixture was used for the production of photoactive roofing tiles with iron oxide (α-Fe2O3 phase) and zinc oxide (ZnO) applied as coatings. The main objectives are both to ensure that the applied coatings provide self-cleaning properties by maintaining or even improving the desired physical properties of the tiles and to optimize the firing temperature and coating concentration parame ...Daha fazlası
