Synthesis of imidazole derivatives and their binderless immobilization to fabric to load antibacterial properties

Mutlu, Nurgül

The compounds bonded with functional groups in textile materials carry the economical support material property. The complex and/or organic compounds with the desired properties can be immobilized into the textile materials by using the reactivity of hydroxyl groups of cellulose and the NH2 groups in wool. Most of commercially purchased silver salts show a rapid release of silver in water because of their ionic structure. For this reason, they exhibit high antibacterial activity but the short-term. N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have the long-term antibacterial effects by releasing the ...Daha fazlası

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

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. We desig ...Daha fazlası

OPTIMUM DESIGN OF ANTI-BUCKLING BEHAVIOUR OF THE LAMINATED COMPOSITES BY DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION AND SIMULATED ANNEALING ALGORITHMS

Akçair, Mehmet

Laminate composites can be used quite naturally in automotive, marine, aviation and other engineering branches. Determination of buckling load capacity under in-plane composite loads of composite plates is very important for the design of composite structures. In this thesis, Differential Evolution (DE) and Simulated Annealing (SA) are utilized for optimal stacking sequence of a laminated composite plate, which is simply supported on four edges and is subjected to biaxial in-plane compressive loads. The optimization problem parameters are defined as (i) Objective function: critical buck ...Daha fazlası

Computer based X-Ray imaging device design alternative using consumer electronic components

Manalp, Alpman

Medical imaging provides images of structures of the body that is not visible to human eye. It is a basic need that determines the irregularities, abnormalities, parts with different densities, spaces and foreign objects that is not supposed to be in the body. It has major importance for fast and correct diagnose. Imaging is frequently used for periodic scans for early diagnostic and follow up scans of treated patients. No matter how important it is, accessibility of the imaging devices especially digital imaging systems that provides real time images is extremely limited. There are very ...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

Design of wireless controlled robotic hand

Kızıltaş, Faruk Sanberk

Thanks to the rapid technological development, robot usage in human life increases day by day. Various kinds of robots that are designed for different tasks aim to increase the quality of human life by replacing or reducing required human power in related areas. Being able to interact robots from a distance by using wireless communication not only provide mobility and ease of use to the user but also promote the usage of robots into various areas. Considering these, this study aims to design a lower degrees of freedom robotic hand with respect to the natural anatomy of the hand and control i ...Daha fazlası

Nonlinear analysis of steel frames considering lateral Torsional buckling effect

The use of nonlinear analysis methods is widely preferred to determine the realistic behavior of the structures through the computer technologies developed in recent years. However, the stability problems that significantly affect the structure behavior are often neglected in nonlinear analysis and in computer programs that are frequently used to the realization of these analyses. Lateral torsional buckling behavior, which is one of the stability problems, is considered to be neglected in many studies using nonlinear analysis methods in the literature. As a result, the realistic behavior ...Daha fazlası
