pyNeuroSim: Another Python-Based Neuron Simulator

Ülkü Şen

Mathematical models have been devised to comprehend and scrutinize biological neurons' structure and behavioural patterns. In order to assist in the utilization and visualization of these mathematical models for computations, simulations have been designed. In this thesis study, a simulator has been developed to be educational and to require no coding skills. It is intended to have a simple, understandable, and straightforward interface. This simulator includes simple interface pages where users can manually input parameters to be used in the models, and it also includes readymade experiments ...Daha fazlası

Manufacturing and Characterization of Peptide Coated Polylactic Acid Based Composites for Various Medical Applications

Metehan ATAGÜR

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

Evaluating steady-state visually-evoked potentials using ensemble learning methods Durağan hal görsel uyarılmış potansiyellerin topluluk öğrenmesi yöntemleriyle değerlendirilmesi

Sayılgan, Ebru

ÖZETSteady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) have been designated to be appropriate and useful for many areas in clinical neuroscience, cognitive, and in engineering. SSVEPs have become popular recently, due to their advantages such as high bit rate, simple system structure, and short training time, etc. To design SSVEP based BCI system, signal processing methods appropriate to the signal structure should be applied. One of the most appropriate signal processing methods of these non-stationary signals is the Wavelet Transform. After literature searched, we noticed that there was no study ...Daha fazlası

Control and simulation of swarm mobile robots

Şen, Hayrettin

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

Assessment of sugar industry solid waste in the production of calcium alumina silicate based ceramics Şeker endüstrisi katı atığının kalsiyum alümina silikat esaslı seramiklerin üretiminde değerlendirilmesi

Kaya, Vacide Selin

ÖZETEndüstriyel olarak üretilen atıkların seramik bünyelerde yeniden kullanımı son yıllarda önemli bir konu olmuştur. Endüstriyel atıkların üretimde yeniden kullanılması çevresel bir sorumluluktur. Ayrıca, bu girişim maliyetlerin düşürülmesi ve hammaddelerin verimli kullanılması açısından önem arz etmektedir. Pres filtre keki (PFC), şeker pancarından şeker üretiminde ortaya çıkan endüstriyel bir katı atıktır. Türkiye'de PFC katı atık miktarı yıllık yaklaşık 800.000 tondur. Bu tezde, anortit esaslı seramik bünyelerin hazırlanmasında alternatif hammadde olarak PFC değerlendirilmiştir. İlk olarak ...Daha fazlası

Development of a surgical navigation procedure for cochlear microrobot operations Koklear mikrorobot operasyonları için bir cerrahi navigasyon yönteminin geliştirilmesi

Uslu, Tuğrul

ABSTRACTBy the help of technological advances such as the development of computer and imaging technologies, surgical navigation has started to be used rapidly in medical literature. It is one of the recent methods used to track surgical tools inside the operation volume. In light of vital advantages as operation safety, minimally invasive application compatibility, reduction of operation times and reduced post operation complication risks, surgical navigation has been rapidly adopted throughout the relevant fields. Considering these, this study proposes both creation of a surgical navigation s ...Daha fazlası

Investigation of gold nanoparticle doping onthe sensing properties of polypyrole based conducting polymer

Abdullah Bayram

Besides human health, toxic gases are harmful for both animal and plant health. Various concentrations cause so many fatal or permanent problems. Therefore, controlling toxic gases (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia), and oxygen at the indoor environment is of vital importance. In this study, effect of gold nanoparticle doping on the gas sensing properties of pyrrole-based conductive polymers were investigated via acoustic wave and electrical based techniques. In this study, quartz crystal microbalance technique was used. Quartz Crystal Microbalance is a powerful technique for nano scal ...Daha fazlası

Investigation of the Relationship between COVID-19 Illness Perceptions and Vaccine Attitudes of Midwives and Nurses Working in the Field of Women's Health

Objective: It is known that negative attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccines and unwillingness to vaccinate are higher in women than in men. Therefore, it is seen that the attitude of midwives and nurses working in the field of women's health toward vaccination is important in influencing women's attitudes toward vaccination. This study aims to investigate the relationship between COVID-19 disease perceptions and attitudes toward vaccination of midwives and nurses working in the field of women's health. Material and Method: The study was conducted in March 2021 in hospitals and primary healthcare i ...Daha fazlası

Heavy metals in Mytilus galloprovincialis, suspended particulate matter and sediment from offshore submerged longline system, Black Sea

SANİYE TÜRK ÇULHA

The study was performed between March 2009 and March 2010 at the Sinop Inner Harbor on cultured mussels at the offshore submerged longline system. The samples of mussels, sediment and suspended particulate matter were seasonally taken for the purpose of monitoring differences of metal contents. In addition, burnable organic matter, contamination factors (CF), pollution load index (PLI) in sediment samples, meat yield of mussels were seasonally determined. All metals in suspended particulate matter were found to be above the national limit. Cd concentration in sediment was above the l ...Daha fazlası
