THE EFFECT OF PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS FOR IN VITRO WOUND HEALING EXPOSURE SYSTEMS
SUMMARY
Electromagnetic fields have achieved important role as stimulator and therapeutic facility in biology and medicine (Blank & Findl, 2013). The effects of low magnitude, low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields have been a period of study since past few decades, which was mainly on the treating soft tissue injuries, skin ulcers, nonuniform bone fractures and degenerative nerve healing (Hug & Röösli, 2012b). Chronic wounds are a major healthcare problem for patient morbidity and contribute signi ...Daha fazlası
This thesis presents both control of mobile robots that can move by using collective motion algorithm and simulation of the robots during the motion. The orientation of the robots was controlled remotely by one user during the collective motion. The transmission of orientation data from the remote controller to the robots was done by using XBee modules. The control algorithm of collective motion was developed by using individual-based model. Two modes are considered during the control. These modes are search and swarm mode.
The collective motion was performed by robots that are moving with re ...Daha fazlası
Photocatalytic degradation and complete mineralization of toxic organic compounds in water, soil, and air in the presence of semiconductor materials have received much attention over the last decades. Electronic structure of semiconductors is characterized by a filled valence band and an empty conduction band. When the semiconductor is irradiated with light of sufficient energy corresponding to or exceeding its band gap, an electron is promoted into the conduction band, leaving a hole in the valence band. The electrons and holes are good reductants and powerful oxidants, respectively, and they ...Daha fazlası
The scarcity of suitable land for construction of engineering facilities and shortage of natural earth aggregates has highlighted the need for finding innovative way of construction. Nowadays problematic soils such as: soft clay, organic soils and liquefiable soils can be improved to the required civil engineering requirements by application of soil stabilization. Soil stabilization is a method intended to increase or preserve the stability of soil mass and chemical alteration of soil to improve engineering properties.
Generally, ground treatment techniques used are: densification, reinforcem ...Daha fazlası
The understanding of sediment transport with fluid in pipes is one of the important issues in hydraulics engineering. If the fluid velocity is lower than a critical value, a stationary cuttings bed develops, which may cause excessive head loss. In this study, a Fuzzy Logic (FL) model is developed to estimate stationary cuttings bed thickness inside the annulus. Experimental data is collected from literature in order to train proposed models. Results showed that the cuttings bed thickness could be estimated using the developed model with a reasonable accuracy when compared with the experimental ...Daha fazlası
The purpose of aggregating rubber is to increase concrete’s flexibility, elasticity, and
capacity to absorb energy. In some application of concrete, it is desired that concrete
should have low unit weight, high toughness and impact resistance. Although
concrete is the most commonly used construction material, it does not always fulfill
these requirements. In order to improve elastic properties of concrete and recycle the
waste materials, new applications have been realized recently. One of these
applications is the utilization of discarded tires in order to use together with
aggregate. ...Daha fazlası
DEVELOPING A NEW UTERINE MANIPULATOR (TRANSVAGINAL UTERUS AMPUTATION DEVICE) FOR TOTAL LAPAROSCOPIC HYSTERECTOMIES IN GYNECOLOGICAL SURGERIES
SUMMARY
Hysterectomy, that is removal of uterus, is one of the most common major operations in gynecologic surgeries. Laparoscopy technique is preferred in hysterectomy because of its advantages such as lower intra-operative blood loss, decreased surrounding tissue/organ damage, less operating time, lower postoperative infection and frequency of fever, shorter duration of hospitalization and post-operative returning time to normal activity. Firstly u ...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.

ASSESSMENT OF REAL ESTATE OWNERSHIP ISSUES IN URBAN REGENERATION PROJECTS IN TURKEY SUMMARY Illegal settlements, urban sprawl and old urban areas can be transformed into livable spaces with urban regeneration projects. Especially because of the earthquake risk and its low quality building stock, Turkey is one of the countries where implementation of those projects is vital. However, real estate ownership problems experienced at the beginning of the urban regeneration projects hinder implementations of the projects. Therefore, identifying and eliminating those problems can help carry out the pr ...Daha fazlası
The use of chemical anchors for the connection of existing structural elements with
the new elements during strengthening of existing structures is quite a preferred
method. Since in our country, chemical anchors are being widely used for repair and
strengthening works, there should be a standard of design and application on this topic.
Up to now, research done on the topic of chemical anchors, are mostly carried out on
concrete blocks of compressive strength 20 MPa and higher. Since parameters such as
distance from the edges, embedment depth and group effect were mostly ignored, the

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.
