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
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
Destinations are most attractive for the tourists with their unique cultural
elements and food is a substantial amount of the unique local identity. Therefore,
food tourism has always been a very important aspect of the destination and tourists
have always been eager to try unique tastes of the culinary culture in the destination
they are visiting. In this thesis study, the concepts of food tourism and food tourists
are explained in detail and their importance in the context of destinations is
mentioned with concrete reasons.
On the other hand, the industrial revolution, which took plac ...Daha fazlası
Audiometry is the technique to identify the nature of hearing loss and to determine the threshold of hearing by recording responses of the patient after presenting him with auditory stimuli with varying intensity levels. There are different audiometric techniques and procedures used for achieving this. The vast majority of medical devices found in the marketplace as a commercial product for the field of audiology have been developed for clinical limited testing. These devices cannot be used for purposes other than those specified by the manufacturer. This has serious limitations in the experim ...Daha fazlası
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
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
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
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

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.
