In Vıtro Analysıs Of Antı-Fungal Actıvıty And Mechanical Properties of Soft Primer Material Added to Natural Product Extracts

Within the scope of the study, minimum inhibition concentration and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of propolis and mahaleb extracts were determined by microdilution method using 96-well microplates. Candida albicans ATCC 10231 standard strain was used in the study. Chlorhexidine (0.2%) was preferred as the control group. According to the data obtained from the minimum inhibition concentration experiment, it was determined that propolis extracts were fungicidal and mahalep extracts were fungistatic. In the light of this information, within the scope of the project, propolis was added to the silicone-based soft lining material with the aim of providing antimicrobial property by providing encapsulation of plant or plant origin natural product extracts such as Allium sativum (garlic), Cerasus mahaleb (mahlep), Thymus vulgaris (thyme) by spray drying. With these new additives, the strength tests of the prosthetic material were successfully carried out.

Y25-Type H Bogie Design of Esray Has Been Completed in a Joint Study with Faculty Members from ITU Faculty Of Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of Biomechanics and Strength of Materials Under the Scope of an R&D Project

A non-conventional design and structural evaluation of a Y25-Type Freight Wagon Bogie frame, which is also suitable for use with 25t axles, has been completed in a joint study among design department of ESRAY Makina Otomotiv İnşaat San. ve Tic. A.Ş. and Faculty members from ITU Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of Biomechanics and Strength of Materials under the scope of an İTÜNOVA TTO R&D Project. The first prototype is now being built for certification tests that will be held in Czech Republic.

Biomechanical Effects and Fracture Characteristics in Different Filling and Fixation Methods Applied to Various Proximal Tibial Metaphyseal Defect Sizes

In this study, which was carried out jointly by ITU, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Biomechanics and Strength Laboratory and Istanbul Basaksehir Pine and Sakura City Hospital, Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic, the cementation and internal fixation methods applied to bone defects of varying sizes after proximal tibial resection were biomechanically compared and the biomechanical method of the ideal fixation method according to the defect size was determined. It is intended to be explained by tests. Cement filling and plate fixation groups were found to have the highest failure load in all defect sizes. Cement+screw combination below 25% defect size reduces the risk of tibial plateau and metaphyseal fractures. It was also determined that fracture complexity was significantly related to defect size and fixation method. The study made a significant contribution to the literature. Because the distal femur and proximal tibia are the most common localizations of locally aggressive bone tumors, it is vital to determine effective treatment methods.

The second edition of Assist. Prof. Adil YÜCEL's MATLAB book is printout

The author of the book, Assist. Prof. Adil YÜCEL is a faculty member who has been interested in programming since his secondary school years and has proven himself with his studies on this subject. The idea of writing a book, which was born while sharing his experiences with his students, from the first days he started teaching programming related courses, resulted in this book. In this book, Assist. Prof. Adil YÜCEL aims to provide engineering students with a basic programming background beyond explaining the use of the MATLAB programming package. The book has been prepared to provide students the ability to develop algorithms to help them solve the problems they encounter, by giving them numerical analysis knowledge. We believe that this book, which includes examples of mathematics, engineering, and mechanical applications, which are not very common in similar books, will be very useful to students.
