Detection of dyes in water using smartphone technology for environmental sustaınability

Kocakuşak Özdemir, Gizem

The goal of this thesis is to develop the applicability of an ultra-low cost, field-deployable, plastic fiber based smartphone spectrometer system to study dye adsorption from water. A custom cradle using smartphone’s built-in flash and camera was designed for visible absorbance spectroscopy without any need for external electrical components. We firstly investigated the performance of smartphone spectrometer for methylene blue (MB) absorbance in water with a detection limit of 0.5 ppm, and compared it to that of a commercial spectrometer. We elaborated on the contribution of image formats to ...Daha fazlası

Development of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube-Based Flexible Screen-Printed Disposable Electrodes for Sensor Applications

Submitted to the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of

Millions of people worldwide suffer from diabetes and diseases caused by diabetes. As a result of the statistical studies carried out by the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people suffering from diabetes was 108 million in 1980, then it was increased to 422 million in 2014. Diabetes is increasing rapidly, particularly in underdeveloped and developing countries and it was predicted that 1.5 million people died because of it only in 2019 (WHO, 2021).

Dip Coating of Metal Implants with Antibacterial Polymer Matrix for the Prevention of Implant Associated Infections

Emine Hilal Altıntop

The recent increase in life expectancy and changing living conditions have led to a rise in developments regarding implants, particularly in orthopedic implants. It is important to note that this statement is based on objective evidence and not subjective evaluations. Despite these advances, issues with metallic implants such as Ti, Ti alloy, Co-Cr alloy, and stainless steel (AISI 316L), which are currently preferred, persist. There are several limitations to implant materials, including corrosion due to the physiological environment, bacterial infection, and biofilm formation. Although ...Daha fazlası

Improvement of engineering properties and liquefaction reduction of sandy soils using electric arc furnace slag and roof tile powder

Agolli, Drinela

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
