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

The effect of RGD pertide on cell proliferation and vasculogenesis during microtissue formation

Yaralı, Ziyşan Buse

3D (Dimensional) microtissues are commonly used in regenerative medicine, medicine design, toxicology studies and advance cancer research. Microtissues which are constructed by this technique mimic natural in vivo condition and it stands for shifting form between in vitro studies and in vivo research. Scaffold-free microtissues produce own extracellular matrix and cells proliferate faster. However microtissue is used in vitro experiments, they mimic in vivo condition by producing own matrix. Recently, RGD peptides which are commonly used biomaterials consist of GRGDS sequences and it has acti ...Daha fazlası

Simulation and design of a glider swarm robotics platform

Gül, Kasım

The main purpose of my thesis is to develop a Swarm Robotics Platform which will use Cellular Automata Glider model and generate itself with “Game of Life” rules. The method was experimentally tested with autonomous mobile robots and real-time PC based simulation software, in all cases very good paths were obtained with negligible processing effort, and low cost production. Presented results indicate that the Cellular Automata approach is a very promising method for real time path planning and Glider like robotic swarms can be used for self-replicating and moving swarm robots.

A visiual isarithmic mapping tool for online maps

Atalay, Hatice

Within the scope of the thesis study, interpolation methods used for evaluating spatially varying data and for presenting the information obtained from the data via maps were investigated. A method for generating an open source web based interpolation map for the most commonly used interpolation methods is presented. Today, many commercial Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software are used in the production of interpolation maps. However, this situation causes the users to pay a large amount of money or use cracked programs. Although there are open source softwares, which can create interp ...Daha fazlası

The effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields for in vitro wound healing exposure systems

Gümüşay, Mehmet

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

Aerodynamic design of a novel low pressure compression system for variable-speed micro turbofan Değişken hızlı micro turbofan için yenilikçi düşük basınçlı kompresör sisteminin aerodinamik tasarımı

İlhan, Menal

Özet:İnsansız Hava Araçları (İHA) genellikle pervane tahrikli ve düşük hızlı uygulamalara yöneliktir. Mikro turbojet motorları ise çok daha yüksek yakıt tüketimine bağlı olarak daha kısa menzillere sahiptir. Fiyat ve karmaşıklık sorunları nedeniyle, turbofanlar yerine turbojetlerin kullanımı kısıtlanmaktadır. Bununla başa çıkabilmek için, temel bir mikro turbojet, ek (booster) kompresörü ve düşük basınçlı türbin bileşenleri olmadan tek milli turbofana dönüştürülebilir. Bu normalde eşleştirme sorunlarına neden olur çünkü fan hızını bağımsız olarak ayarlamak için iki mil gerekir. Daha basit bir ...Daha fazlası

Investigating the antibacterial activity of antimicrobial peptide and silicate integrated flexible biomaterial Antimikrobiyal peptit ve silikat katkılı fleksible biyomalzemenin antibakteriyel etkinliğinin incelenmesi

Coşkun, İhsan

ABSTRACTOsteomyelitis is a disease in which the process of bone destruction and loss is caused by microorganisms. Osteomyelitis has an increasing incidence rate that could cause chronic and acute infections. Bone infection has caused recurrent and permanent damage in 40 of the patients. 2-5 of infections caused by medical devices used in orthopedic surgical operations are osteomyelitis. More than half of osteomyelitis cases are caused by gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. In order to prevent the occurance of osteomyelitis due to the medical dev ...Daha fazlası

Assessment of Fouling in Plate Heat Exchangers with Machine Learning Algorithms

Ceren VATANSEVER

Fouling is the accumulation of undesired particles on heat transfer surfaces which affects the heat transfer performance of a heat exchanger negatively. The accumulation of these particles prevents heat from being transformed through the heat exchangers by generating a fouling layer-like insulation. The main aim of the thesis is to investigate the machine learning algorithms to classify and predict the fouling status of PHE used in combi-boilers, to generate the background of the predictive maintenance, besides investigating the fouling effect on PHEs in terms of heat transfer and energy consu ...Daha fazlası

Investigation of the Effect of Electrode Material on Antibacterial Activity in Plasma Treatment with Dielectric Barrier Discharge

Merve Gül

Plasma is an ionized gas generated under an electric field that contains photons, free electrons, ions, free radicals, and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS). Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is generated in the cold form under a high electric field at atmospheric pressure. CAP is generated using two methods, Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) and plasma jet. In the DBD method, the electrode configuration, shape, material, and substance from which the dielectric barrier is made are important. Beyond the electrode design and geometry, the barrier and electrode materials can also impact the re ...Daha fazlası
