Nanocomposites with graphene

The carbon fiber used in the manufacturing of advanced composites has various applications in the automotive, aerospace, and electronics industry because of their comprehensive properties such as lightweight, flexibility, high strength to weight ratio, excellent chemical resistance, superior electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Different kinds of carbon fiber precursors have been used and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is the mostly utilized polymer type which is a petroleum-based, expensive and unsustainable. Remarkably, lignin is a highly accessible, low-cost, and renewable resource. ...Daha fazlası

Effects of beta -tricalcium phosphate concentration on osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in chitosan based composite scaffolds

Demirci, Emine Afra

Today, tissue transplant applications are widely used for repair of damaged hard tissue. Despite the gold standard of autografts, interest in synthetic bone grafts produced by tissue engineering techniques is increasing day by day, due to limiting factors such as damage to the tissue site and limited graft availability in allografts, and the risk of developing an immune system response in allografts.Many bioceramic materials, including β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), hydroxyapatite (HA) and calcium sulfate, are widely used in bone tissue engineering. β-TCP has been the most preferred biocerami ...Daha fazlası

Custom designed optical tweezer for trapping yeast cells

Çobanoğlu, Nur

The goal of this study is developing custom designed optical tweezer which uses two He-Ne lasers (λ=632.8 nm) parallel to each other to trap yeast cells. The characteristic specs of this optical tweezer determined by Brownian Motion of polystyrene beads in water. Stiffness and trapping forces of optical tweezer calculated for laser 1, laser 2 and when both lasers used simultaneously. Laser 2 can trap and move particle to laser 1 and multiple particles can be trapped by the laser 1. After determination of specs of optical tweezer, yeast cells in yogurt culture medium were trapped by lase ...Daha fazlası

Biochemical Relationship Between Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency and COVID-19 And Effects Of Glutathione Supplements

ABSTRACT Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is an enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway involved in the production of the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). One of the most common inherited enzyme abnormalities is G6PD deficiency. G6PD enzyme deficiency facilitates human coronavirus infection due to glutathione (GSH) depletion. Depletion of glutathione due to blockage of the pentose phosphate pathway can hardly preserve the oxidative and anti-oxidative balance. GSH protects the body from the harmful effects of oxidative damage from excess reactive oxy ...Daha fazlası

A research on the development of International and Domestic banks in Afghanistan and their role in Afghanistan Economy

Ayamı, Masood

In this thesis the development of Afghanistan’s banking system and the role of domestic banks in the economy of Afghanistan has been researched. Moreover, the effects of banks and the banking system to business sector, financial sector and to private sector in the country have been handled. Most of banking system was dead over 25 years of war due to abnormal condition in the country. After the new regime, the development of banking systems takes a new look in 10 years across the global transaction. Thus, get the positive feedback in these years. This change also played a big role in Afgh ...Daha fazlası

A research about discussion of organizational communication and strategic planning process

Selçuk, Oğulcan

In environment of globalization and intense competition, businesses make their long-term plans in order to sustain their existence. This planning ensures employees to understand the points of organization’s mission, its goal, the place where it wants to reach and how it will get there, and it is thought that organizational communication plays an important role in this respect. In this context, the main purpose of the study is to a research about discussion of organizational communication and strategic planning process. In the research where interview was preferred as data gathering tech ...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.

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

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

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
