Engineering long shelf life multilayer biologically active surfaces on microfluidic devices for point of care applications
(2016)
Although materials and engineered surfaces are broadly utilized in creating assays and devices with wide applications in diagnostics, preservation of these immuno-functionalized surfaces on microfluidic devices remains a ...
Hybridizing a fuzzy multi-response Taguchi optimization algorithm with artificial neural networks to solve standard ready-mixed concrete optimization problems
(2016)
In this study, a fuzzy multi-response standard ready-mixed concrete (SRMC) optimization problem is addressed. This problem includes two conflicting quality optimization objectives. One of these objectives is to minimize ...
Educating Future Energy Engineers for Sustainability: Case Study in Energy Economy
(2015)
This paper analyzes the case study of an interdisciplinary course in Energy Economy that was developed at the Energy Engineering Graduate Program at Baskent University. The course integrated several unique pedagogical ...
A Self-Adaptive Heuristic Algorithm for Combinatorial Optimization Problems
(2014)
This paper introduces a new self-tuning mechanism to the local search heuristic for solving of combinatorial optimization problems. Parameter tuning of heuristics makes them difficult to apply, as parameter tuning itself ...
Cyclic and heteroclinic flows near general static spherically symmetric black holes
(2016)
We investigate the Michel-type accretion onto a static spherically symmetric black hole. Using a Hamiltonian dynamical approach, we show that the standard method employed for tackling the accretion problem has masked some ...
Astrophysical flows near f (T) gravity black holes
(2016)
In this paper, we study the accretion process for fluids flowing near a black hole in the context of f (T) teleparallel gravity. Specifically, by performing a dynamical analysis by a Hamiltonian system, we are able to find ...
Optimization of the Factors That are Critical in External Surface Grinding of Roller Followers Using Design of Experiments
(2018)
In this study, it is aimed to experimentally optimize the parameters of the grinding of external surface of the roller followers which are used in internal combustion engines to operate the inlet and exhaust valves. 2k ...
WEEE estimation and determination of collection points: A case for the Municipality of Cankaya
(2018)
Electrical-electronic waste (WEEE) is generated from electric and electronic devices at the end of their lifecycles. When WEEEs are disposed, burned or disassembled for recycling, they are transformed into products containing ...
Monitoring nodule progression in chest X-ray images
(2018)
Lung nodules are frequently observed in cases of cancer. Nodules can be monitored with technologies such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However. x-ray imaging is a low-cost method as well ...
A New PC-Based Text Entry System Based on EOG Coding
(2018)
ome disadvantages of optical eye tracking systems have increased the interest to EOG (Electrooculography) based Human Computer Interaction (HCI). However, text entry attempts using EOG have been slower than expected because ...
