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

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

Modeling and experimental study of turbulent newtonian fluid in fully eccentric annulus considering temperature and pipe rotation effects

In this work, the effect of temperature on the pressure loss of Newtonian fluid in a fully eccentric annulus with pipe rotation is investigated. For this purpose, initially comprehensive experimental study has been conducted at Izmir Katip Celebi University (IKCU), Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics Laboratory of Civil Engineering Department. Effect of temperature has been observed for flow velocities from 0.7 m/s to 3.4 m/s, for pipe rotations from 0 rpm to 120 rpm, and for temperatures is from 20 °C to 65 °C. The pressure loss within the test section is recorded. An increase in the liquid temper ...Daha fazlası

Enhancement of the electrical properties of graphene for electronic devices

Ersu, Gülsüm

Graphene, a one-atom-thick two-dimensional material, has drawn great interest for many electronic and optoelectronic applications due to its extraordinary properties. The properties of the graphene can be modified with different chemical methods and introduced new properties, which widens its potential for applications. The non-covalent modification of graphene is one of the basic techniques for modifying the electrical properties of graphene without disrupting the structure. In this thesis, the high-quality graphene has been synthesized and electrical properties of graphene have been tuned b ...Daha fazlası

Design and implementation of chaotic delta robot mixer system for preparing graphene nanocomposite coating Grafen nanokompozit kaplama hazırlanması için kaotik sistem tabanlı gürbüz delta robot sıvı karıştırıcı tasarımı ve gerçeklemesi

Kavur, Ali Emre

ABSTRACTThis thesis includes design, implementation and polymer nanocomposite mixing application of chaotic system based robust delta robot. Blending fluids is a vital process while preparing coating materials. The most commonly used the coating materials are polymeric materials which need to be blended in non-Newtonian fluids. This process is very critical and harder to achieve a perfectly prepared coating material.To achieve superior blending performance, two different and independent chaotic systems were used to chaotify delta robot-based blender system. One of them was used for chaotificat ...Daha fazlası
