Synthesis and application of the iridium semiconductor complexes for organic light emitting diodes

Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is a multi-disciplinary research area. Due to the possibility of being produced in different designs and low costs, studies on the research and development of energy efficient structures have increased. These expectations have increased so much that research on new types of molecules and device designs is increasing with the expectation that OLEDs will be more efficient than all available light sources and that almost 100% of the energy used can be converted to light. Transition metal complexes, especially Iridium(III) complexes, which make them phosphores ...Daha fazlası

Investigation of concrete barriers with recycled rubber, steel slag and roof tile

Kurar, Ali

The purpose of aggregating rubber is to increase concrete’s flexibility, elasticity, and capacity to absorb energy. In some application of concrete, it is desired that concrete should have low unit weight, high toughness and impact resistance. Although concrete is the most commonly used construction material, it does not always fulfill these requirements. In order to improve elastic properties of concrete and recycle the waste materials, new applications have been realized recently. One of these applications is the utilization of discarded tires in order to use together with aggregate. ...Daha fazlası

Development of Electromagnetic Wave Absorption Properties of Graphene-Based Nanocomposites by Using Stochastic Optimization Methods

Kemal Bartu Aydın

Today, with the developing telecommunications and electronic technologies for civilian and military purposes, electromagnetic (EM) applications have a wide usage area, including different frequency ranges, such as radar, wireless information transfer, and medical technologies, as well as radio frequencies. However, the broad use of these technologies causes EM wave pollution, so they have a devastating effect not only on the working functionalities of electronic devices but also on human health. Therefore, the need to develop these technologies to prevent EM wave pollution is increasing daily. ...Daha fazlası

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

Assessment of direct and fluid mediated cold atmospheric plasma treatment efficacy on squamous cell carcinoma at three-dimensional skin culture model Direkt ve sıvı aracılı plazma muamele yöntemlerinin skuamöz hücreli karsinom üzerindeki etkinliğinin üç boyutlu deri kültür modelinde değerlendirilmesi

Özdemir, Gizem Dilara

ABSTRACTSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most seen type of non-melanoma skin cancers after basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Prevalence of non-melanoma skin cancer increases rapidly and it’s expected to account for 50 of all cancer types in near future. It takes attention and carries importance due to higher risk of metastasis. Even though various methods are being used, those methods may either fall short or cause serious side effects. Plasma is defined as the fourth state of matter and cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) can be produced at atmospheric pressure under high electrical field. The ...Daha fazlası

Influence of Pre-Orthodontic Trainer treatment on the perioral and masticatory muscles in patients with Class II division 1 malocclusion

TANCAN UYSAL |

The aim of this follow-up study was to evaluate the effects of Pre-Orthodontic Trainer (POT) appliance on the anterior temporal, mental, orbicularis oris, and masseter muscles through electromyography (EMG) evaluations in subjects with Class II division 1 malocclusion and incompetent lips. Twenty patients (mean age: 9.8 ± 2.2 years) with a Class II division 1 malocclusion were treated with POT (Myofunctional Research Co., Queensland, Australia). A group of 15 subjects (mean age: 9.2 ± 0.9 years) with untreated Class II division 1 malocclusions was used as a control. EMG recordings of treatment ...Daha fazlası
