The new material type is ‘cryogels’, which have important potential in biotechnology applications. Cryogels can be obtained from natural or synthetic polymers. It is seen that cryogens prepared from natural polymers become a preferred material group for tissue…

The state-initiated TOKİ programs in Turkey commenced post-1980s. They were preferred due to their rapid and mass production, catering to the economic needs of low-income groups, consequently fueling a sustained increase in housing demand over the years. Acade…

Since the design of the first high rise building, the “Home Insurance Building” erected in Chicago in 1884-1885 only with 11 floors, new technologies encourage the designers to build taller and slender buildings penetrating through the sky. In the history, h…

Complexity in the behavior of asphalt binders are further escalated with geopolymer (fly ash and the alkali liquid) modification thus, making it difficult to predict the performance of the binder accurately. This study employs artificial neural network model…

Oscillators are one of the most important basic circuit blocks frequently used in electrical-electronics engineering applications. Among several types of the sinusoidal oscillators, quadrature oscillators are frequently used in communication circuits, control …

Nanotechnology is the science of controlling materials at the atomic and molecular levels. With the use of nanomaterials for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, the field of molecular nanotechnology has emerged, enabling nanoelectronic biosensors and individu…

The design of experiments is a highly effective offline quality improvement method to optimize the existing and new processes or products. In the literature, standard experimental situations have been paid a lot of attention. In a number of non-standard experi…

A central composite design is a good choice for a spherical design region while providing high-quality predictions over the entire spherical design region. However, this design requires design variable settings outside the range of the design variables in the …

Geriye dönük adım akışı, ısı depolama kaplarının iç ve dış akışında veya güç dönüştürme sistemlerinin toplayıcıları gibi birçok cihazda önemli olup akışın karmaşık yapısı nedeniyle önemli geometrik modellerden biri olarak göze çarpmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, dikey…

Structural health monitoring (SHM) allows damage to the structure or its components to be identified at an early stage by self-diagnosis with the aid of sensors. The usage of SHM enables safe engineering and reduces the maintenance costs of the industry. The s…

Structural health monitoring is an interdisciplinary field that enables early detection of undesirable situations such as damage or defects that occur in the structure or its components thanks to its ability to self-diagnosis. It is possible to use safer engin…

Social networks are formed from interactions of peoples. Measuring the degree of those relationships requires interpreting connectivity of vertices and extracting information from it. Generally individuals form smaller sub-communities in those networks. Identi…

In this study, the effects nano-SiO2 and nano-Al2O3 on cement mortars were experimentally studied. The percentage of nano-powders were used as 1%, 3% and 5% into the material. Different types of analysis were used to nano-powder’s impact on the cement mortars.…

Parasitic capacitance has adverse effect on capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) performance. Reduction of parasitic capacitance, therefore, is essential for high performance CMUT device. Isolation layer between two electrodes of CMUT is one o…

In the fifth generation (5G), the traditional restrictions that limit the capacity of wireless communication must be overcome. Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is a promising solution capable of overcoming these constraints to meet the requirements of 5…

Three-phase asynchronous motors are widely used in many areas of industry. Unplanned malfunctions in the motor can cause the entire system to become inefficient. Detecting and intervening the malfunctions before they grow has a direct impact on the life of the…

Asenkron motorlar, endüstrideki en yaygın kullanılan motorlardır. Çok avantajlı bir yapıda olduklarından üretim hatlarının her noktasında bulunurlar. Bu motorların arızalarını hızlı ve kolay bir şekilde tespit etmek arzu edilir. Bu makalede, asenkron motorları…

In this study, mathematical modeling of outer rotor brushless direct current motor (BLCD) is performed. Brushless direct current motor is highly preferred in industrial applications when compared the other motor types with considering advantages and disadvanta…

This study includes the design of quadratic cascade DC/DC boost converter with PI controller. Two or more cascade boost converters have been used to increase system efficiency. Advantages of the proposed converter compared to the conventional boost converter a…

In this study, a single switch cascade DC/DC boost converter has been preferred instead of conventional cascade DC/DC boost converter to reduce cost and provide simple system control. High-performance controller design for DC/DC converters is the most importan…
