Investigation of Manufacturing and Characterization of Radar Absorbing Hybrid Structures

Mohamed Yousef Ali Issa

Significant development of radar systems after World War II has led to studying the interaction between electromagnetic waves at radar frequencies and different materials. One perspective of these studies is to ascertain ways of decreasing reflected waves. However, the applications have not been limited only to defense applications but also to different fields where human beings are exposed to electromagnetic waves to avoid potential health effects due to exposure to electromagnetic waves. Since the discovery of radar systems, many studies have focused on electromagnetic radiation and absorbin ...Daha fazlası

Characterization of Clay brick materials produced with red mud and nut shell wastes for building applications

Çam, Ata Sadık

In this study, clay based brick with micro pores was developed for thermal insulation in the building materials. Turkey produces about 70% of the world hazelnut production. The aim of this thesis is to reduce the thermal conductivity coefficient by adding organic waste (hazelnut shell) into clay mixture to form porosity during firing of clay bricks. Moreover, it is to maintain the similar mechanical properties by adding inorganic waste (red mud) into clay mixture. The development of a highly porous bricks with applicable mechanical strength will contribute to save energy in the building ...Daha fazlası

Examining the Accuracy of DEM of Difference and 3D Point Cloud Comparison Methods: Open Pit Mine Case Study

Nilüfer ÖZDAŞ

With the widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), it has become possible to rapidly implement high-accuracy photogrammetric mapping studies over small areas using low-cost and basic systems. Through the comparison of images captured at various epochs of a specific area, 3D change detection between epochs can be easily carried out. The process involves extracting point clouds from images obtained via photogrammetric methods, followed by utilizing processing software to derive digital surface models from these point clouds. By taking the differences of these DSMs, 3D change detection ca ...Daha fazlası

Optimization of Drying Process of Plastic Granules Based on Stochastic Method with Neuro Regression Approach

Mustafa DİNÇ

Polymers contain moisture due to their chemical structure. Moisture in polymers is important for the quality of the final product and ease of processing. For this reason, polymers are subjected to drying before processes such as injection and extrusion. Drying is carried out at temperatures and times specified by the polymer suppliers. Over-drying leads to increased viscosity (processing difficulty) while under-drying leads to flow marks, burrs, and reduced tensile strength and impact strength. Over-drying also causes excessive energy consumption. In this study, the drying process optimization ...Daha fazlası

Automatic Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease with Transfer Learning and Image Processing Techniques

Atılay Yeşilada

Alzheimer's disease continues to be a serious public health issue. Alzheimer's disease affects generally old people, and it is a neurological disorder. The most significant sign of Alzheimer's disease is memory loss, which becomes worse over time. Therefore, early identification of Alzheimer's illness can aid in diseased getting the proper care. One of the aims of this thesis is to automate the early detection of Alzheimer's disease and create a self-improving system by utilising previous experiences each time it is detected automatically. In this way, the bad effects of the disease due to the ...Daha fazlası

A preliminary offshore wind energy potential study for bay of İzmir: Quantifying the airflow distortion on local ferryboats for adjustment of wind data by 3D CFD analyses

Güngör, Şahin

Humankind have an interest to obtain marine meteorological data for decades, therefore, constant and mobile meteorological stations have been used for the correct measurements. These meteorological data include wind speed and direction, sea surface and air temperature and cloud cover. Ship-mounted anemometers have been used for meteorological observations, obtaining the wind speed data and climate change analysis. Wind data are especially gathered and reported by Voluntary Observing Ships (VOS). World Meteorological Organization (WMO) created the VOS program to ensure reporting of the wind dat ...Daha fazlası

Audiometer device design with integration of different sources = Farklı kaynaklara entegre işitme cihazı tasarımı

Uzun, Yiğit Ömer

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

Estimation of Building Height from ICESat-2/ATLAS and Airborne LiDAR Data Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Aslıhan Yücel

The height of buildings in cities are of critical importance to urban planning and sustainable growth, as these factors are closely linked to environmental, economic, social, and aesthetic elements that shape the structure and character of cities. The main purpose of this study is to calculate building heights using machine learning algorithms based on airborne LiDAR and ICESat-2 data in urban areas. Sub-objectives of the study to achieve the main objective are: (a) investigate the relationships between spaceborne and airborne LiDAR data and integrate the data, (b) investigate the performance ...Daha fazlası

Dynamics of Axisymmetric Drops Impacting onto Heterogeneous Surfaces

Atalay SEÇER

The way a droplet behaves when it lands on a surface depends on the characteristics of the surface and the flow conditions of the droplet. It can deposit, rebound, splash, etc. There is delimited research on how surface roughness and chemical composition affect the deformation of droplets upon impact, in comparison to the studies done on smooth surfaces. Our model uses two-phase flow to simulate the axisymmetric motion of droplets over surfaces with heterogeneities by combining the Navier-Stokes equations for motion with the Cahn-Hilliard equation for tracking the phase-field. We integrate the ...Daha fazlası

Synthesis, characterizatıon and application of new organic electroactive molecules for photovoltiıc devices

PEDOT:PSS is with its acidic property solves the indium atoms from ITO and indium atoms diffuses in active layer in an organic solar cell. This event causes an decreasing in solar cell efficiency. In the same strategy, SAM molecules can be used as hole injection layer. On the other hand MoO3 can be used as anode buffer layer. In this thesis it is wanted to make SAM molecules have to not absorb visible range of solar spectrum for the efficient harvesting of solar energy by donor molecule. Otherwise the HOMO level of SAM molecule have to be between work function of ITO and HOMO level of donor mo ...Daha fazlası
