Abstract:
Today, the flow measurements for the velocity and quantity of fluids transported through circular type
pipes are used in a wide variety of industrial areas. For flow measurement process, the use of ultrasonic
flow meters is rapidly becoming widespread. Thus, there is much interest in the development of the
ultrasonic flow meter. Especially, for transit time ultrasonic flow meter, there are very sensitive results such
as nanosecond, picosecond. In addition, there are more mathematical operations for multipath ultrasonic
flow meters. In this paper, we form a software program to calculate the parameters of ultrasonic flow
meter. Thus, a user can obtain the ultrasonic parameters such as transit time difference (TTD), fluid flow
velocity, flow rate for both single and multipath ultrasonic flow meter by using this program. This program
offers options such as whether to use the temperature. In addition, it permits applying user’s data to obtain
the ultrasonic parameters. The purpose of the study is to collect all parameters on a single platform. The
formed program assures good performance for both researcher and designer.

Abstract:
Biodiesel is a liquid fuel similar to petroleum diesel in combustion properties but is essentially free of sulfur,
making it a cleaner burning fuel than petroleum based diesel. Biodiesel is a promising non-toxic and
biodegradable renewable fuel comprising of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids, which is produced
by a catalytic trans esterification reaction of vegetable oils with short chain alcohols. It has become an
interesting alternative to diesel, because it has similar properties to the traditional fossil diesel fuel and
may thus substitute diesel fuel with none or very minor engine modifications.
Artificial Neural Network (ANN), a popular modeling tool for processes where nonlinear multivariable
relationships are involved, is also called as black box modeling and its working principle is loosely modeled
on the biological neural network. It is composed of a large number of data processing elements called as
nodes or neurons arranged in layers and interconnected with each other to develop a correlation .
The objective of the present work is to develop models inculcating the effect of operating conditions of
waste cooking oil methyl esters production in the reactive distillation column, namely waste cooking oil
(WCO) flow rate, methanol/WCO molar ratio, reboiler heat duty and feed inlet temperature on the
estimation of parameters like the .biodiesel conversion by using Artificial Neural Networks technique.

Abstract:
Most industrial control systems are formed by a significant number of control loops. Usually, large
processes are divided in several subsystems, which are interconnected and influence each other forming
multivariable systems, known also as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The developed
control algorithm is based on a Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) algorithm suitable for multiple-input
multiple-output systems. The most important advantage of the proposed control scheme is the adaptability
of control actions to process disturbances and process interactions. The application of the developed
control system allows us to reduce the amount of messages exchanged between control system agents,
what is beneficial for communication burden. Moreover, event-based approach allows us prioritizing the
selected control variables, paying more attention to important variables (often related to security or costs),
while neglecting the noncritical ones. This is possible through adjusting the sensor deadband value, making
feasible a tradeoff between control effort and control performance. Multivariable Generalized Predictive
Control (MGPC) for Biodiesel production process by reactive distillation column (RDC) was presented. the
reaction section and reboiler section temperatures of the system were controlled using Decoupling GPC.
The feed flow rate and the reboiler heat duty were selected as manipulated variables. The proposed
controller was found to perform satisfactorily for reference tracking and disturbance rejection in RDC.

ccoskun@dicle.edu.tr
Abstract:
Fuzzy modeling takes its power from the nature of its own underlying concept of human intuition and
logical inference based on fuzzy logic. There are many different inductive approaches on membership
function and fuzzy rule generation using available data. Fuzzy sets and fuzzy rules together constitute the
knowledge base of the fuzzy model to make logical inferences about the output of the system. Standard
deviation is a measure of distribution of data, and Chebyshev’s inequality provides a probabilistic
understanding of the distribution of data around the mean. In this study, a new approach that uses
Chebyshev’s inequality to construct fuzzy membership functions for input variables will be introduced.
Then, a new approach to generate fuzzy rules with weights using available data will be proposed. Finally,
two sample applications using the introduced methods will be mentioned at the end of the study. The
sample applications were realized by using the implementation of the proposed methods with java on
Netbeans platform. Results of the tests show that the proposed algorithm is competitive to the results of
previous studies on same data sets. The idea introduced in this study to induce information from data using
Chebyshev’s inequality might be applicable and may bring new insights in similar fields.

Abstract:
In developing devices for cutting a Chinese yam into chunks for use as seeds, it is important to measure the
shape of the objective yam using a simple mechanism. In our previous study, we proposed a statistical
approach for predicting the shape of a Chinese yam based on its key diameters. This approach involves
arranging the sample data, estimating the diameters at discrete points on the central axis, and constructing
a predictive model based on the estimated diameters. However, the predictive model was built on separate
regression models for each point, which is potentially unstable. In this paper, we expand our previous
approach by adding a new step that improves the estimates of regression coefficients based on
Bayesian linear modelling methods. Thus, we can estimate the regression coefficients simultaneously,
ensuring better stability in the reconstructed model. The method for locating the key diameters is also
modified. To confirm the performance of the expanded approach, we apply it to a set of samples and
compare the output of the reconstructed model with that of our previous method.

Abstract:
Voltage Stability is defined as the relationship between the bus voltage and the maximum load parameter
value depending on the operating condition of the system. The placement of Flexible Alternating Current
Transmission System (FACTS) devices in the appropriate places increases the operating limits of the system
in terms of voltage stability. In this study, the effects of Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC) in
IEEE 14 buses power system were investigated. The voltage and the maximum load parameter relationships
of the SSSC which is connected to different transmission are interpreted. Furthermore, the effects of SSSC
on the bus voltage profile have been investigated. The study on the multi-buses power system was
analyzed in the Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) program. As a result of the study on IEEE 14 buses
power system, the loading parameter value has been increased when the SSSC is connected to all
transmission lines. In particular, it has been observed that the best results are obtained by connecting SSSC
in transmission lines 2-3.

Abstract:
In this study, hardened Caldie cold work tool steel was processed in EDM and surface roughness and
material removal rate were examined. The parameters used in experiments were designed by the Taguchi
L18 orthogonal arrays and the obtained results were examined by the grey relational analysis. Copper and
graphite electrodes were used as tool materials. The machining parameters used in the experiments are as
follows: 50, 100 and 200 μsn for pulse duration; 6, 12 and 25 A for discharge current. Pulse off was fixed as
200 μsn for all experiment conditions. As a result of experimental study, it was found that the increase in
pulse duration and discharge current has a negative effect on surface roughness and a positive effect on
material removal rate. After the grey relational analysis, the ideal machining parameter was determined to
be the experiment condition where copper electrode was used including a discharge current of 6A and a
pulse duration of 50 μsn.

Abstract:
A Gaussian radial basis function neural network has been applied to model the longitudinal dynamics of
Boeing 747-100. Bilinear interpolation calibrates the responses to allow for gain scheduled control within
the whole flight envelope. The baseline responses are produced from the simulations based on Linear
Quadratic Regulator of combining elevator and throttle commands at trimmed Mach numbers and
altitudes. The Latin hypercube is employed to uniformly discretize the flight envelope with Mach numbers
ranging from 0.2 to 0.9 and altitudes from 0 to 12190m. The steady state response surfaces of longitudinal
references are achieved based on gains smoothly satisfying closed-loop flying qualities. The elevator and
throttle inputs can be adjusted to maintain the center of gravity within admissible limits over the entire
flight envelope. The pitch trim condition can be auto-throttled for a given static stability margin
corresponding to a center of gravity locations.

Abstract:
Gain scheduling linear quadratic regulator is proposed for the Boeing 747-100 longitudinal flight. Designing
a feasible control would be embarrassed for Mach numbers and altitudes covering the whole flight
envelope. Instead, a genuine control law is achieved using the gain scheduling spline interpolations to
establish the intermediate trainset responses. The baseline longitudinal responses are obtained at three
sets of Mach number and altitude. Local controllers are scheduled upon wider sets over the flight envelope.
Such a linearized control strategy drives the responses to smoothly steady-state leveled convergences. The
coupled elevator and throttle control competently participates in center of gravity management during
longitudinal flight. The center of gravity shifts has been also correlated with a wide spectrum of Mach
number and altitude.

Abstract:
Studies on electric vehicles which are used as an alternative to fossil fuels have intensified with the increase
of the environmental pollution problem. In recent years, developments in magnet technology accelerated
the development of permanent magnet synchronous motors compared to other electric machines. These
motors are widely preferred in traction applications due to their high efficiency and high torque / weight
ratios. In this study, the THD values of a 100 kW IPM motor with V-shape rotor for electric vehicles has
been investigated. THD values of 100 kW V-shape IPM motors with different magnet geometries that
provide the most suitable designs for maximum power, maximum efficiency/cost ratio, and maximum
efficiency obtained based on finite element method simulations. Considering the results of the study, it is
shown that rotor geometry of design A offers minimum THD comparing to others. In addition, it is
observed that providing the lowest THD value can be another important design criterion along with
efficiency, maximum output power and cost.

Abstract:
The relationship between the number of poles, slots and winding arrangements in BLDC motors, which are
frequently used in many applications today, is quite popular. In this study, a widely used four pole BLDC
motors have been designed with different slot numbers (6, 12 and 15) and winding arrangements. Finite
element method (FEM) has been carried out to analyze the proposed designs. As a result of performed
analyzes, total harmonic distortion (THD) values have been obtained and compared according to the
different slot numbers and winding arrangement given in the study. Thus, the effects of different
slot/winding configurations on the THD values in four-pole BLDC motors have been obtained by computer-
aided simulations. Simulation results and comparisons show that the lowest THD and corresponding
sinusoidal back emf can be obtained by implementing 15 slots within four pole designs. Moreover,
performance values and flux distributions have been examined comparatively by analyzing the motors at
rated conditions.

computer, internet, or email use of its user’s employees. Activities that may damage the reputation of the
company/institution may be carried out, the activities carried out may involve criminal elements or your
data may be tried to be exported. One of the increasing issues in security today is log management. In
many institutions, the logs are only recorded, but no log analysis is performed. What sorts of things can an
organization/company see users do at their computers, and what sorts of computer activities are currently
invisible to workplace monitoring? The importance of log (track record) management in ISO 27001

Abstract:
Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurobiological disorder with delays in mental and social
development and deviations in communication skills. The main features of autism are disorder in social
relations, narrowed interest, repetitive and restricted behavior patterns. While thought to be related to
individual’s upbringing, environmental factors, and past experiences, many approaches nowadays diagnose
it as neurobiological. Communication, mental and social development disorders are necessary for the
diagnosis of ASD; There are common features such as recurring, limiting interests and behaviors. Artificial
intelligence techniques which are used successfully in many areas have been used in the examination of
these properties. A classification study was performed by using artificial intelligence techniques for 3
groups including; adult, adolescent and child with ASD. Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest
(RF), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), which are frequently preferred among artificial intelligence methods,
were used. Respectively 100%, 100%, 99.658% accuracy for the adult dataset, 89.423%, 100%, 89.423
accuracy for the adolescent dataset and 100%, 90.199%, 100% accuracy for the child dataset. According to
the results obtained, the artificial intelligence techniques used for all datasets were more than 90%
accurate and some of them were 100% successful. These artificial intelligence techniques prove that they
can be a good decision support system that can be used in the field with their high accuracy rates in the
diagnosis of ASD.

Abstract:
Coating methods are advanced technology processes using different methods, such as coating the material
made with another material to collect different material properties on a material, changing the chemical
properties of the material. One of the coating methods is the friction coating method. The method is based
on the deposition principle, reaching the plastic deformation temperature as a result of the contact of the
cover shaft rotating around its axis at a given peripheral speed to the material surface.
In this study, the aforementioned friction coating method was combined with the gradient coating to
investigate how to obtain a hybrid coating. In this way, more efficient and desirable features have been
achieved by a short time and operation together with a single hybrid method. The advantage of the
gradient coating method is to provide a combination of mechanical properties such as the desired hardness
and strength from the top layer with the ability to adhere to the desired substrate from the lowest layer by
covering more than one layer. According to this literature research and experiments, a very efficient
coating method has been developed according to other methods, an infrastructure has been established
for future studies and it is aimed to contribute to the literature for the future. As a result, it has been
shown that this hybrid coating can be used and improved, and the results and recommendations for
subsequent studies are discussed.

Abstract:
Tree-Seed Algorithm, called TSA, is a population-based, nature-inspired and metaheuristic optimization
algorithm. In the algorithm, the artificial agents, trees and seeds, iterate a solution update rule of the basic
algorithm for searching solution space of the optimization problems. In the initialization of algorithm, the
trees are sowed to the surface, and some seeds are generated for each tree at the iterations. The basic
algorithm has one peculiar control parameter and its name is search tendency. By using this parameter, we
try to balance diversification and intensification capability of the basic TSA. Due to its simple but effective
algorithmic structure, it has been applied solve many optimization problems, and some of the studies in the
literature focus on performance improvement of the basic TSA. Moreover, although TSA has been first
proposed for solving continuous optimization problems, the successful discrete variants of TSA has been
developed and published in the literature. The motivation of this study is to introduce TSA and give an
opportunity for the researchers and practitioners by providing insights in terms of TSA modifications and
applications. In this literature review on TSA, we divided the study into three parts: modifications,
applications and versions. In the modifications, the algorithmic improvements on TSA has been abstracted
and in the applications, we present the applications of TSA to the different optimization problems. In the
version part, we present discrete and binary versions of the TSA algorithm.

Abstract:
The Matrix Pencil Method is the method that achieves the complex amplitude and poles with the highest
accuracy by using the data that varies with respect to sine signals for a specified parameter. This method is
used to prevent data complexity and redundancy in most signal processing applications. The synthesis of
the antenna array with the minimum number of antenna elements is very important for the desired beam
pattern. In some applications, such as satellite communication, the weight of the antennas is extremely
limited. The simplification of antenna systems reduces the cost by providing advantages in other
applications. In this study, the use of Matrix Pencil Method in antenna arrays has been emphasized, and
this method has focused on the synthesis of linear antenna arrays with minimal elements.
With the Matrix Pencil Method, the desired beam pattern is first sampled to form a separate pattern data
set and the data in the form of the Hankel matrix is arranged. After these steps, the singular value
decomposition of the matrix is performed. By subtracting the non-baseline values, a smaller dimension of
the Hankel matrix is obtained. In smaller sizes, the matrix actually corresponds to fewer antenna elements.
The matrix pencil method is then used to reconstruct the excitation and position distributions from the
approximate matrix. The results and numerical examples show the effectiveness and advantages of the
Matrix Pencil Method in the synthesis of antenna arrays.

Abstract:
Environmental problems related to the consumption of fossil fuels have increased the keen interest in the
development of renewable energy and chemicals. Biomass is one of the renewable energy sources derived
from lignocellulosic materials. In the present study, bio-based resins were synthesized using the bio-oil
produced from vacuum pyrolysis of woody biomass. In the production of bio-based phenolic resins, the bio-
oil was chemically synthesized with phenol and formaldehyde at 10 wt%, 20 wt%, 30 wt%, 40 wt%, and 50
wt% phenol replacement levels under alkali condition. The effects of replacement level of bio-oil to phenol
on the formaldehyde emission of oriented strand board (OSB) bonded with bio-oil phenol-formaldehyde
(BPF) resins were investigated using the perforator method. Results showed that the addition of bio-oil up
to 10 wt% substitution level reduced the formaldehyde emission compared to commercial phenol-
formaldehyde resin. Further increment in the bio-oil content negatively affected the formaldehyde
emission. However, all the BPF resins satisfy requirements for emission standard E1.

MULTIPHASE SEGMENTATION BASED ON DOMINANT

amirulramzani@gmail.com
Abstract:
The vast number of images of manuscript with their heterogeneity contribute to big data research in the
area. Manuscripts like the Mushaf of al-Quran include ornaments and diacritics together with their main
text. The shape and structure of the ornaments and diacritics in their different variety can show the origin
of the manuscript. However, in digital image processing, ornaments are considered as foreground image
and contribute noises for feature extraction and classification. Thus, the diacritics that exist in Mushaf Al-
Quran cannot be removed because it is vital to enable readers to read it correctly. The ornaments have to
be excluded whereas the diacritics must be remained. This process of removing ornaments and segmenting
line by line requires multiphase segmentation based on physical dominant of the foreground image.
Currently, researches for segmentation for Latin and Arabic based handwritten documents. Unfortunately,
do not involve complicated structures and sensitive documents such as the Mushaf Al-Quran. This research
proposes a multiphase segmentation using dominant foreground to solve the problems. The proposed
method involves four phases: decoration and text, text line, verse and sub-word. Through these phases, the
heterogeneous ornaments will be excluded by identifying the ornaments structure and traversing the
connected foreground pixels of the ornaments. For the text segmentation, neighbour of diacritics will be
populated and computed based on the normality of existence. After the segmentation is performed, the
evaluation of the segmentation output will be evaluated by comparing with original Mushaf.

Abstract:
Sustainable cities are inhabited by people whom are dedicated towards minimization of required inputs of
energy, water, food, waste, air pollution, methane, and water pollution. To achieve a sustainable level for a
city, measurement of related environmental indicators is essential. Thus, evaluation of a city and ranking
among others considering several environmental indicators/criteria can be said as a multi-criteria decision
making (MCDM) problem. In this study, 81 Turkish cities are evaluated regarding to their 17 environmental
indicators such as waste water amount, municipal solid waste amount, number of landfill sites, SO2, PM10
and etc. As a solution approach, two MCDM methods, namely "VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija
KOmpromisno Resenje" (VIKOR) and COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (COPRAS) are applied
comparatively. Consequently, 81 cities are ranked according to their environmental indicators and an
assessment map of cities is created using geographic information system (GIS). It is found that the applied
methods are efficient, and the results are stable. The applied methodology provides also an ability to
analyze the impacts of indicators on environmental performance of each city.

Abstract:
Energy pricing policies could be country level or regional level depending on various reasons and policy
makers in Turkey in which country level pricing policy is currently used discuss about the positive and
negative effects of both systems. Because of the possibility of transition to regional pricing policies in
energy market in Turkey, design of regional energy networks is needed to be analyzed in detail. Regional
networks with less outer-dependency may reduce energy costs in regions with greater renewable energy
potential. When energy demand satisfaction from renewable resources is not possible, grid-connection
may be considered as a back-up option for the network. These kind of energy systems, a combination of
renewable or/and conventional energy resources, are described as hybrid energy systems. The use of
hybrid energy systems is discovered to be beneficial in sustainably supplying energy from renewable
sources at the end of researches. However, design and operation decisions of hybrid energy systems should
be taken carefully in order to take full advantage of the benefits of these systems. The aim of this study is
to develop a linear programming model that will optimize energy generation and transmission decisions of
an energy network at province size. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate obtained results
from the model. The proposed model would support decisions related to network by considering economic
and technic aspects. Moreover, the obtained results from the model would inspire policy makers to use
analytical approaches in development of energy policies.

zahriladha@utem.edu.my
Abstract:
This paper presents an antenna for the medical imaging application which can detect unusual tissues on
any part of the human body. The direct contact of the antenna with the human body causes the reflected
of the signal due to the high human body coupling. Therefore, a compact design of wideband antenna with
wearable properties is proposed to minimize the effect of high human body coupling. The wideband
antenna is designed by introducing notches to the patch and a t-shaped slot at the partial ground.
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is introduced to the antenna for the implementation of the wearable antenna
as well as minimizing human body’s effect. The proposed antenna operated at a frequency range of 3GHz
to 6GHz. The antenna that embedded with PDMS shows a good agreement to the antenna without PDMS.
An experimental proposed structure shows a good agreement with the simulated results. The overall
dimension of the antenna is 24mm(W) x 38mm(L) which consider is a miniature antenna. This proposed
design provides an alternative solution for the antenna which cannot be wear on the body and protect the
antenna. The introduction of PDMS will reduce the signal reflection cause by the high coupling of the
human body.

Abstract:
The growing demand of high data transmitted rate has promoted the development of 5G technology where
the frequency range started from 24GHz. The high frequency range in 5G technology will result in signal
attenuation due to oxygen molecules absorption, commonly known as free space path loss. To overcome
the free space path loss of 5G wave front, an antenna that can transmit and receive in 5G frequency range
with higher gain is the needed. Therefore, this paper presents the design and analysis of a 1x6 array
antenna that capable in providing high gain and 360⁰ coverage for 5G mobile applications. Computer
Simulated Technology (CST) software is used during the design and simulation phase while a substrate
based on Rogers RT5880 is applied for manufacturing the antenna. The antenna design is built from 4
arrays which each array consists of 6 antenna elements that arrange in 4 different direction to produce
360⁰ coverage. The simulation results show that the frequency covers from 23.97 - 27.95 GHz with
maximum gain up to 15.53 dB while measurement results show frequency range of 25.08 – 29.40 GHz
which is a promising band for future 5G based smartphone applications.

Abstract:
Optimization is defined as achieving the best possible end-of-the-way by using the best available facilities.
The optimization method is realized by using meta-heuristic algorithms. In this study, tree seed algorithm
with tree seed algorithm was used for five different test functions. The problem was taken as 1000, and
population numbers were accepted as 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50, respectively. The parameter value of the
algorithm was 0.1, 0.5 and 0.9, and parameter optimization was performed. The algorithms were run in the
MATLAB program under the same conditions. When the obtained results were examined, it was seen that
the improved tree seed algorithm obtained a better result than the original tree seed algorithm. When the
results of the algorithms were examined in terms of time, it was observed that the working times of the
two algorithms were close to each other. For the best values, Wilcoxon (p-value) test analysis of functions
was performed. From a statistical point of view, it has been concluded that there is a significant difference
between the original tree seed algorithm and the original.

Abstract:
In today’s technology-driven marketplace, new products are essential for the survival of a company. Almost
every product consists of some if not all plastic components, mostly produced by the plastic injection
moulding (IM) process. Due to the high cost and lead times of conventional tooling, most new product
developments never realise because they are too risky to manufacture. Rapid Tooling (RT) techniques are
able to reduce the time and cost of product development and manufacture products in the correct material
during the product approval stage, for example when the product must undergo clinical trials. In this study,
a new approach is proposed using laser sintered Alumide® inserts, to investigate the benefits of RT for
limited run production. Through simulation software temperature distributions inside the Alumide® inserts
were used to identify possible hotspots, which can reduce the useful lifespan of the inserts. Scan results of
the inserts after actual IM trials were used to determine the wear of the Alumide® inserts. The results
obtained showed that about 400 parts can be manufactured within allowable tolerances and 2500 parts
could be manufactured using Alumide® inserts. From manufacturing time and cost comparisons of inserts
produced through different manufacturing processes, it was evident that it is more economical to use
Alumide® inserts to manufacture a few to two hundred parts in IM applications. If the required quantities
of the parts to be manufactured increase, it will become more cost-effective to use inserts manufactured
through conventional manufacturing processes.

Abstract:
Advanced technology ceramics can be used both functional and structural in areas where metals and
plastics fail due to their superior mechanical and thermal properties. Si3N4, an advanced technology
ceramic, provides advantages in terms of its properties such as high oxidation resistance, abrasion
resistance, hardness and high-temperature resistance, not only in structural ceramic applications but also
in functional application areas. Conventionally optically transparent materials (glasses, polymers and alkali
hydrides) have relatively poor mechanical strength and sometimes poor chemical and physical stability. As
a result, there is a rapidly increasing demand for the development of new transparent materials that can be
used for applications requiring high strength and chemical stability at high temperatures. Si3N4 ceramics,
on the other hand, have been able to fill this demand by replacing glass and mono-crystals due to their
flexibility in manufacturing and processing. In this study, Si3N4 ceramics were produced using different
types of additives. Dy2O3, Y2O3 and Eu2O3 were used as an alternative additive to show effect of dopants
on microstructure and optical properties. Si3N4 powders were mixed using different amount of them.
After, milling of powders in high energy ball milling system for 5hrs. Dried powder was sintered by spark
plasma sintering system at different temperatures (1800-1700°C). Sintered samples were grinded by SiC
disc to decrease of thickness. Optical analyses results showed that Y2O3 doped samples have the best
translucency than others. Results of experimental researches showed that amount and type of additive
have an important effect on translucent properties of Si3N4.

Abstract:
In this paper, a soft contact lens type glucose sensor using biocompatible polymers was fabricated and
evaluated. The biosensor was designed for continuous glucose monitoring in tear fluids. In order to achieve
flexibility and biocompatibility, the biosensor utilizes hydrophilic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine
(MPC) copolymerized with 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA). Owing to the flexible laminar structure of
PDMS and poly(MPC-co-PMEH) (PMEH), the sensor fits the rounded shape of human body and has good
biocompatibility. The sensor measures the glucose concentration as a current change induced by enzyme
reaction at the GOD immobilized PMEH layer. In the MEMS fabrication process, electrodes were formed on
PDMS substrate using ion beam sputtering method with lift-off process. Then, it was coated with PMEH and
GOD was immobilized on the sensing region of the electrodes by coating a mixture of PMEH solution and
enzyme.
The sensor showed linearity in glucose level of 0.05 – 3.00 mmol/l with a correlation coefficient of 0.998.
The calibration range includes the reported concentration of tear glucose in normal human subject (0.14
mmol/l). The sensor also showed high flexibility and was soft and comfort to the touch. The sensor was
attached on the rabbit eye as mentioned before and tear glucose level of the rabbit eye was monitored
continuously. The average value of tear glucose level was 0.11 mmol/l. Those glucose concentrations in
tear fluids were estimated from the calibration plots.

Abstract:
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted great attention with their low cost, low power
consumption and high-resolution [1,2]. In recent years, OLEDs producing white light have been studied for
displays and solid state lighting applications, especially due to their easier fabrication processes compared
to LEDs. In this study, we present the photophysical properties of some previously reported amide based
Ir(III) complexes and their application as an emissive layer component in WOLEDs (Figure 1). Amide based
Ir(III) complexes with high quantum yields were doped in PVK:OXD-7 matrix with different doping amount
(0.10, 0.20, 0.35, 0.50 and 1.00; wt%) to investigate the electroluminescence (EL) behaviors of them. The
results show that for the lowest doping amount (0.10%, wt), IrPro and IrBenz had the white light emission
with CIE coordinates of (0.32, 0.38) and (0.29,0.34) respectively that are close to those of pure white light
(0.33,0.33), while Ir(EtPh) represented cold white light emission with CIE coordinates of (0.26,0.28). Further
increase in the doping amount of complexes resulted with yellow emission from all devices.

Abstract:
The main goal of the group recommender systems is to provide commonly appropriate products/services
for members of a group. Various aggregation techniques have been proposed for combining individual
preferences and estimating recommendations for the group. Such techniques generally produce
recommendations based on counts of ratings, rankings, deviation, and rating averages. Also, the size of the
groups and the recommendation list are essential elements that directly influence the performance of the
aggregation techniques, hence they should be considered when selecting the aggregation technique to be
used in a group recommender system. In this study, the effectiveness of 11 baseline aggregation
techniques regarding both different group sizes and recommendation lists is deeply analyzed. During the
experimental processes, the groups are constructed using the k-means clustering algorithm, which helps
clustering people with similar interests together. Experimental studies demonstrate that three aggregation
techniques are successful mostly when recommending a small number of items. However, they get
reasonably hurt with a larger number of recommendations. Also, the specificity of the groups is a crucial
factor for aggregation techniques to better model group profiles, and they are more successful in small
groups of people.

Abstract:
In this study, the system identification of a ball balancing table in a single input-single output configuration
is done based on frequency domain response. Since the ball balancing table owns an intrinsic instability, the
system is transformed into a closed loop form using a controller mechanism. The closed loop system is
excited by sinusoidal inputs with various frequencies and its frequency response characteristics are
obtained. Three well-known identification methods are utilized for the integer and fractional order system
model construction. The model of the ball balancing table is extracted from the identified closed system
transfer function. It is observed that the best model that represents the ball balancing table system is the
fractional order model obtained using Vinagre’s identification method.

Abstract:
Clustering algorithms widely used for segmentation of images. Image segmentation is a preprocessing step
that divides the image into regions based on the homogeneity of the regions. Correct segmentation results
can reveal significant part of images to easy the analysis of the images. The ST-DBSCAN clustering algorithm
is one of the popular density-based clustering algorithm that uses both temporal and spatial similarity of
objects to discover clusters. The algorithm requires three input parameters, spatial distance, temporal
distance and minimum number of points in these distances. However, it is very difficult to decide on their
values. In this paper, we proposed a method which is based on ST-DBSCAN algorithm for image
segmentation. The proposed algorithm automatically cluster pixels of images and thus, images are divided
into segments based on both the position of the pixels and the color values of the pixels. Experimental
results showed that ST-DBSCAN is a promising method for segmentation of images.

ahmet.osmanlioglu@istanbul.edu.tr
Abstract:
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive noble gas. It is part of the natural decay series of uranium (U) and
thorium (Th) found in all soils and rocks to a varying concentration. There are three radioisotopes of radon
naturally present in the environment: Radon-222 from the uranium-238 decay series, radon-220 from
thorium-232 decay series and radon-219 from uranium-235 decay series. Radon-219 is of low radiological
significance because of its short half-life of 4 seconds and uranium-235 represents a small percentage
(0.3%) of the activity of naturally occurring uranium. Inhalation of indoor radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn)
decay products is the most important source of exposure to ionizing radiation for the human respiratory
tract.
In this research, several mineral based filters have been tested for their potential to reduce the exposure in
terms of the total effective dose for mixed radon and thoron indoor atmospheres. For this purpose, the
well-defined microporous structure of natural materials that were selected according to their surface
adsorption capacity was used to prepare cylindrical mineral filters. The tests were performed inside a small
laboratory type closed chamber providing stable conditions. Mineral filters were exposed to radon
concentrations, which were generated in a closed chamber. Initial radon quantity was measured without
any filter by radon measurement device and compared with filtered radon quantity for each of the mineral
filters. The results of radon measurements, performed in order to precisely quantify the adsorption
characteristics of various mineral based filters are presented in Table.

Abstract:
Product and energy are needs that cause global pollution but cannot be abandoned. It is understood from
reliable statistics that demand for products and energy, supply, consumption and waste amount increase
steadily and accelerate global pollution due to the increasing world population. In this paper, it is proposed
that an effective product and energy management system to reduce global pollution caused by demand,
supply, consumption and waste amount will provide more protection than research on finding new energy
sources. Product and energy can be classified as Black and Green. The statistics of the last decade in the
black group were published on the charts. Green group values were calculated by saving 1% of the Black
group data values and subtracting them from the existing Green values. Bilateral relations and regression
analyzes were conducted on demand, supply, consumption and waste of both groups. In order to prevent
global contamination under the current conditions, the Black group achieved a 1% savings. As a result,
international organizations' efforts to reduce energy and product consumption were far more important
than studies for clean Green energy research.

Abstract:
Autonomous vehicles are automobiles that can drive on the road without the need of a driver by detecting
the road, traffic flow, and environment without the intervention of the driver. One of the objects
autonomous vehicles need to detect is the traffic signs around it. In this study, we present a method for
detecting the traffic signs in the environment in real time and enabling the prototype vehicle to move
according to these signs. Various image processing techniques are used to detect traffic signs. An image
taken from the camera is converted to HSV color space and morphological operations are performed on the
image. Traffic signs are detected using the Template Matching method. This detection was carried out on
Raspberry Pi, which was connected to the prototype vehicle. The commands obtained from Raspberry Pi
were sent to Arduino Uno to enable the prototype vehicle to move. The prototype vehicle is able to reach
the target point successfully from the starting point by considering the traffic signs.

ongerek@eskisehir.edu.tr
Abstract:
Despite the great interest on deep learning for high-level computer vision problems, low-level image
processing tasks had been left to classical methods, such as directional gradient filtering, Gaussian blur,
etc. The primary reason behind this lack of research is that it is difficult to do manual labeling for low-level
tasks (e.g., edge detection) because of the excessive workload and the ambiguity of the correct labeling. It
is known that supervised machine learning methods depend on excessive number of labelled data for
accurate results. Such large amount of labeled data can be provided by developing a methodology that
produces automatically labeled data. For this study, we have designed a novel probabilistic-generative
model that produces densely labeled synthetic images containing objects with edges at various noise levels.
Therefore, object boundary labels are automatically constructed by the algorithm. A convolutional neural
network trained with the data produced by this model in a supervised manner learns to detect edges in real
images as well, without regard to its semantics. The training of the network was observed to converge
quickly to a level that objectively and subjectively surpass celebrated edge detection gradient operators,
such as the Sobel operator. Close inspection of the convolutional layers show that they do not
separately specialize on classical edge detection stages such as noise removal and directional gradient
operators. Instead, the filters learned by the network are observed to be a mixture of these operations,
which motivates further research about the biological edge sensing mechanisms of the human visual
system.

Abstract:
As a major renewable energy source, the solar potential of a place depends on both the geographical
location and the meteorological expectations (cloudiness index, etc.) of the place. Most of the works in the
literature deal with the solar radiation problem as either a time-series and hourly prediction problem, or as
a stochastic/deterministic model fitting problem. Recently, the solar radiation data was considered as a
two-dimensional signal, I(t,d), with t corresponding to hours in a day and d meaning the day throughout the
year. Such a representation was efficient in modelling solar radiation due to inter-day dependencies.
However, the stochastic behavior of the actual and effective solar radiations was not considered in that
approach. In this work, we consider the solar radiation to be the summation of two separate two-
dimensional signals; a deterministic extraterrestrial irradiance, E(t,d), and an additional stochastic noise,
N(t,d), making I(t,d) = E(t,d) + N(t,d). Since E(t,d) is a deterministic curve that can be geometrically
evaluated, the problem boils down to the stochastic modelling of the noise term, N(t,d), which is due to
meteorological effects. Through hourly data recordings from two separate geographical locations in Turkey,
we have verified that the noise term can be modelled as a random field, which can be estimated by simple
meteorological recordings. Hence, we conclude that an accurate solar energy potential assessment can be
made just by the knowledge of geo-location and past meteorological data. The proposed model is expected
to be easily applied to any geo-location on earth.

Abstract:
Different types of composite materials are being used instead of traditional materials in machine elements.
The materials are damaged due to the difficulties caused by the use of the machines. Replacing damaged
materials will be very costly, so repairing them will be more economical. There are a wide variety of
methods for the repair of composite materials, one of which is the application of a wet patch by vacuum
infusion.
In this study, buckling behavior of damaged composite plate repaired by wet patch application by vacuum
infusion method was investigated. First, a plate was produced from carbon and aramid hybrid fabric by
vacuum infusion method and 60X100 mm samples were cut. Damage was created by drilling a 20 mm hole
in the middle of the specimens and then the damaged specimens were repaired by applying a wet patch by
vacuum infusion method. To investigate the repair performance of plates, the buckling behavior of
undamaged, damaged and repaired samples was tested by compression test.

projects in their future operations. However, the main evaluation criteria of architectural projects are price
oriented. Choosing the appropriate project in terms of sustainability terms is of key importance for future
objectives of TOKI. The aim of this article is to propose an AHP method for evaluating architectural projects
in terms of sustainability approach. In order to maintain a high level of client satisfaction, TOKI ought to
analyze the numerous factors that determine a sustainable project. An Analytic Hierarcy Process (AHP)
decision model for evaluating architectural projects is introduced for housing projects in Turkey based on
the three aspects of sustainability; environmental, social, and economic facets. The decision model aid the
client to assess architectural projects that can greatest help the comprehensive aim of sustainability. The
model uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as its basis and a sample application is defined to display

Abstract:
Operational efficiency of façade systems is important for building industry for economic and environmental
impacts. Turkey has a growing number of public buildings designed and constructed during the last decade.
However, material selection system made for these buildings has been done without a systemic evaluation
system. Operational efficiency of a building façade requires compromise amid economic, functioning and
environmental influences. Façade material selection based on availability may not always deliver the best
result. This paper offers a systematic way for selection of the façade materials for a public building by
calculating the economical, functional and environmental influences of the verdict. A complete list of
operational efficiency criteria for selection of façade systems is presented. The selected operational
efficiency standards are useful to identify the appropriate façade materials. While MOORA, a method of
refining judgments, is used to detect appropriate operational efficiency criteria, AHP is used to identify the
relative importance weights for different criteria. When confronted with the uncertain features of design
stage, rational material selection for public buildings can assist the operational efficiency from the
government point of view. This paper attempts to offer a reliable model for Multicriteria Material Selection
System for Public Buildings Façades at regional scale as the corresponding needs.

Abstract:
Segmentation techniques are widely used in computer vision world in nowadays. In deep learning
techniques, it is effectively used for recognition a field of an image as semantic. The convolutional neural
network (CNN) is a good architecture for detecting to a field of image. A field of image is handled for
detection and trained via CNN architecture. Finally, it is classified based on pixel-wised thanks to its pixel
similarities and the obtained field is masked via semantic segmentation. By pixel-wise similarity, the
semantic object is detected via segmentation and it is predicted by CNN architecture model. Region-based
segmentation is a useful method for extracting a semantic field of an image. Current studies show that
region-based semantic segmentation can be applied for a lot of object detecting systems such as synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) images, robotics, human-computer interactions, self-driven car technologies, A field of
an image can be segmented as semantic in an image by Mask-Region based Convolutional Neural Network
(Mask-RCNN) method that use to instance segmentation based on semantic segmentation such as person,
background, animals that is described in CNN classes. In this study, it is showed that how to the Mask-RCNN
method use for extracting a semantic field. Thanks to this method, different types of images can be
segmented such as air climatic images, synthetic aperture radar images, traffic or person images etc.

Abstract:
The strategy of selective enzyme inhibition gets attention due to the fact unregulated high enzyme activity
results in the formation of the reaction products at abnormal levels causing specific pathologies. Urease
which belongs to the super family of amidohydrolases catalyze the hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and
carbon dioxide in living organisms. The hyper activity of urease leads to high concentration of ammonia,
resulting with the increase of the pH of the medium which is a trait of tremendous medical importance.
In this work we synthesized three new small molecules (Yg3, Yg5 and Yg5-T) having tiophene and furane
cores as potentail urease inhibitors. The small molecule structures were obtained using condensation
reactions. Sword bean urease activity was optimized by using 0,083-5 mM urea. Sword bean urease
showed activity to urea with 1,011 mM Km and 2,778 U/mL Vmax. The optimum temperature for the
enzyme was 40°C and the optimum pH was 7,5. The I50 values and relative inhibition percentages were
determined at different inhibitor concentrations (0.001-5 mM) and Yg3 was found to be the most potent
inhibitor for sword bean urease.

Abstract:
In this study, the structural content and usability of different types of polymer concrete composites as an
alternative to the metal casting and construction structures forming the body of CNC machine tools were
investigated based on dynamic analysis methods. Systems developed to solve the vibration problems with
control methods, which is one of the major problems encountered in serial machining, bring significant
costs, do not provide sufficient solutions and complex the system. In order to absorb these vibrations
during production, materials with high damping properties should be preferred. High damper feture of
construction materials in the inverse proportion of low rigidity significantly affect the accuracy of the
machine tools. In this study the polymer-concrete composite body, which can be used without
compromising rigidity, is used in a metal body with high damping properties and studies have been carried
out for optimization with a mathematical approach. Hybrid structure formed with outer metal body offers
advantages for revisions. Tests were performed on 54 samples with various configurations inside and
outside the metal body. The configurations contain admixtures of concrete, polymer and agregate, and
preplaced aggregates with two different resins as epoxy and polyurethane. Best performance was observed
in preplaced Polyurethane matrix-concrete composites.

Abstract:
Airfoils in various types are widely used in many devices subjected to fluid flows such as aircrafts, vehicles,
turbines etc. Therefore, analysing the fluid flow aroud an airfoil is one of the important subjects in fluid
mechanics. In this study, the conseravtion equatins of two dimensional compressible flow over an standard
aerfoils were solved by using different numerical techniques. A fter a mesh independence study, applied
mathematical model, numerical techniques and obtained results are confirmed with experimental results
given in literature. Three different turbulence models, namely the k-w, spalarat almaras and reynolds stress
models were used in the solutions. The performance of turbulence models were evaluated under the
results obtained. The verified numerical model was also applied to the flow onver different types of blades,
including a special airfoil design. Velocity and presure fields obtained around these airfoils were analysed,
and their aerodynamic performances in terms of the lift and drag coefficients were compared to each other
at different angles of attack

Abstract:
In this work, energy and exergy analyses of solar hydrogen production and liquefaction process have been
performed. Hydrogen produced from conventional sources, that is produced from steam reforming of
natural gas, which release greenhouse gases and from RES (using electrolysis): from solar energy using
photovoltaics, from solar thermal energy, wind power, hydro power and biomass. The idea of using solar
energy is to protect environment from the unwanted greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen could only
become a clean energy carrier if it is produced from the use of RES. Since hydrogen had to be produced,
the electricity production process was followed by electrolysis of water. In the present work, the exergy
analyses will be realized in two phases. In the first phase, exergy analysis of the solar hydrogen production
system (including electrolysis) has been performed. Because hydrogen is transported in a liquid form, the
liquefaction process is also taken into consideration. The hydrogen liquefaction process is very energy
intensive and thus it requires a lot of exergy. In the second phase the exergy efficiency for the liquefaction
process is found. In this work, the exergy efficiencies of the system are presented before and after the
liquefaction process. The exergy analysis has revealed the exergy destruction rates in each component
and the process efficiency. The exergy analyses presented help us to determine the exergy losses
(irreversibilities) and to assess them quantitatively and indicate the possibilities of improvement of the
process or the part of the process that needs to be redesigned.

Abstract:
With the development of high-throughput sequencing technologies, massive amounts of biological
sequences are being produced. Clustering of these massive amount of data for different purposes such as
phylogenetic analysis, identification of DNA-binding sites, metagenomics analysis etc. requires quick and
accurate methods. Here, in this study we proposed a new clustering method which relies on the k-mer
composition of biological sequences. The proposed method was tested on both the protein and DNA
sequences. The protein sequence data are composed of a set of proteins from different species which need
to be clustered to find their phylogenetic similarity. On the other hand, the DNA sequence data are
composed of a set of genomic regions sharing a common motif. The DNA data also need to be clustered to
find this common motif shared by the sequences. Experiments performed on the protein and DNA
sequence data showed that, in comparison to the existing methods, the proposed method is quick and
accurate. Moreover, it allows for both the clustering of protein and nucleotide sequences. These unique
properties of the proposed method make it a good candidate as a tool for the clustering of different
biological sequences.

Abstract:
In recent years, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes have attracted tremendous scientific and technological
interest owing to their formation, properties and functionality. Many methods have been used to prepare
nanotubes via template synthesis, hydrothermal, sol-gel, electrical anodization methods. Compared to
other preparation methods, electrochemical anodization enables any form of Ti surfaces to be coated with
a dense and well-aligned nanotube layer by means of optimizing the anodization parameters such as the
applied potential, time and the composition of the electrolyte. The surface modification of TiO2 with other
narrow bandgap materials capable of absorbing photons in the visible range of spectrum increased its use
as a photocatalyst. The heterojunction structure between TiO2 nanotubes and α- Fe2O3 provided an
effective way to improve photocatalytic activity and change the band gap value of the structure.
In this study, TiO2 nanotubes were acquired using an electrochemical process based on the anodization of
Ti foil in an electrolyte prepared with ethylene glycol, ammonium fluoride (NH4F) and deionized water
under varying anodization voltage and time. It was aimed to observe the effects of the anodization voltage
and time. The characterization of the study was executed by XRD and SEM to determine the phase
structure and morphology of TiO2 nanotubes, respectively. The change of optical band gap of the α-
Fe2O3/TiO2 samples, depending on the processing parameters, were determined through UV-Vis
spectrophotometer. Finally, with a comparative approach, photocatalytic degradation rates and the
kinetics of methylene blue aqueous solutions of α-Fe2O3/TiO2 samples were evaluated.

Abstract:
Energy consumption has rapidly increased because of the growth of population and the technological
advancements in the world. Microencapsulated phase change materials (MEPCMs) have been used for
thermal regulation in different systems. MEPCMs are sometimes produced with functional groups to ease
applications.
This study focused on preparation, characterization, and determination of thermal properties of
microencapsulated n-octadecane with poly(methyl methacrylate-co-2, hydroxy propyl-3-urea
methacrylate-co-ethylene glycole dimethacrylate) [P(MMA-ko-HPMA-ko-EGDM)] shell. P(MMA-ko-HPMA-
ko-EGDM)/N-Oktadekan microcapsules were prepared with 1%, 5%, and 10% 2,hydroxy propyl-3-urea
methacrylate contend to make the outer surface functional. Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was used as a
corss linking agent. Urea amin is the first time imported to MEPCMs in this study. The particle size,
chemistry, photography, size distribution, thermal storage property and stability of MEPCMs were analyzed
using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, polarized optical microscopy (POM), particle sizer
distribution (PSD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA)
techniques respectively. The melting and freezing temperatures of the MEPCMs were found between 26.3
and 26.6 C and melting and freezing enthalpy were found between 131.1 and 153.2 J/g. Besides, produced
microcapsules were found resistant to degradation up to 155 °C. The results indicated that the
microcapsules with amino functionality have potential to be used as TES materials.

Abstract:
The energy need of the world is gradually increasing every day due to the changing living conditions.
Thermal energy storage (TES) applications with phase change materials (PCMs) have become one of the
most popular in energy storage in the recent years.
This paper is about the synthesis, characterization, thermal properties and thermal reliability of 1,4-
distearoylamidanthraquinone as a novel solid–liquid PCM for TES applications. Synthesized PCM was
characterized structurally by fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic
resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy techniques. Thermophysical properties of 1,4-
distearoylamidanthraquinone were investigated with differential scanning calorimety (DSC) and
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. DSC was exploited for determination of phase change
enthalpy, temperature, specific heat and total enthalpy of stearic acid and synthesized PCM. Phase change
temperatures and enthalpies were found slightly lower than the fatty acid and DSC analyses pointed out
that the melting temperature was 66 C with phase change enthalpy of 85.76 Jg-1 as solidification
temperature was 54 C with phase change enthalpy of -89.97 Jg-1. Thermal endurance limits and
morphology of 1,4-distearoylamidanthraquinone were also investigated using TGA and POM techniques
respectively. TGA measurements indicated that 1,4-distearoylamidanthraquinone degraded in two steps at
215 and 321 C which were quite above from the operating temperature ranges for TES applications.
Consequently, it was concluded that the synthesized novel PCM had low values of enthalpy due to the
bulky group at the center of the molecule. However it has still considerable potential for miscelleanous
applications with its thermal properties.

Abstract:
Recently, thiol-ene polymerisation have been getting growing attraction not only improved production of
uniform polymer network, reduction of polymer shrinkage stress and obtaining narrow the Tg range but
also providing a wide range of application areas from material science to bioorganic chemistry. Thiol-en
polymerization can pick up some advantages of both step growth and chain growth polymerizations.
However, this feature of the processes especially useful for electron-rich monomers such as vinyl ether. The
thiol-ene polymerization is mostly governed by the ratio of the propagation (kP) and the chain transfer
(kCT) reaction rate ratio (kP/kCT). Experimental and theoretical studies have emphasised especially the
importance of ene functionality to explain the reaction mechanism while electronic nature of the thiol
functionality has been excluded. This study has revealed that how thiol functionality can influence the thiol-
ene polymerization processes. For this purpose, substituted phenyl thiols have been used enlightening the
thiol-ene reactions of various monomers from electron rich to electron deficient alkenes. M06-2X/6-
31++G(d,p) level of theory was used to evaluate kinetic and energetic features of the processes. This study
has elucidated the importance of intermolecular interactions like π-π interactions can play a crucial role in
the chain transfer reaction step. These kinds of effects can pave the way for tuning the thiol-ene
polymerization process that may be considered for industrial production of high-tech polymers.

Abstract:
Injection moulding process of shape memory thermoplastic polymers is important for manufacturing of
stimuli-responsive plastic parts in mass production. Moulding conditions have remarkable role on the
controlling of permanent shape of moulded parts. Warpage is the one of the main factors, which define the
part shape quality. A limited number of experimental studies have been conducted to determine the
relationship between warpage and moulding parameters. According to the experimental study, injection
pressure and cooling time are the most effective parameters on warpage. But, it is very difficult to define
an accurate mathematical model that gives the warpage value with respect to injection pressure and
cooling time. In this study, the relationship between moulding parameters and warpage was defined as a
constitutive model by using fuzzy logic. Fuzzy model consists of two input variables and one output
variable. Cooling time and injection pressure were selected as input variables and warpage was selected as
output variable for the fuzzy model. The results showed that the model represented experimental results
with high confidence.

Abstract:
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive optical imaging modality that measures cerebral
hemodynamic activity in the brain. Thanks to high noise immunity and portability of NIRS, it has been
involved in motor imagery (MI) based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) studies in recent years. This study
proposes dynamic time warping (DTW) based feature extraction method to classify two class MI NIRS
signal. In this context, two curves related to left hand and right hand imagination are fitted by using HbO
and HbR signals. Dynamic time warping algorithm is used to determine the similarity between the fitted
curve and the sample signal. The proposed technique is validated on the benchmark MI based NIRS dataset
collected from 29 subjects by using 36 channel NIRS system. The results of the study have clearly shown
that dynamic time warping algorithm is a novel and promising feature extraction method to classify MI
based NIRS signal.

Abstract:
In today's world control and prevention of environmental pollution are among the most important
agendum items. Many methods are used to eliminate water pollution and to self-aeration the water. With
the use of baffle blocks the energy of the water released from the sloping channels is dissipated and the
water is self-aerated. The water-air interface helps the contaminated gases in the water to pass into the
atmosphere and the oxygen from the atmosphere to the water. In this study, by changing the distances of
chute blocks placed on a sloping channel from the start of the channel and the distance between the block
rows, the amount of energy dissipation downstream and self-aeration rates was tried to be determined.
The results were compared and interpreted.

Abstract:
Thermal storage applications are an important solution in terms of energy efficiency and energy
sustainability. Thermal energy storage can be done with different materials for later use when the energy is
excessive or interrupted and the energy costs are low. In this study, the thermal energy storage potential of
Urfa and basalt stones, which are natural stones in Sanlıurfa located in southeastern of Turkey, were
investigated at constant temperature charging and discharging. For this purpose, the experimental setup
consists of an insulated box in which the stones are placed, an electrical heater and measuring devices. The
air inlet and outlet temperature, stone temperature and ambient temperature were measured and
recorded in the datalogger. According to the measurements made at different temperatures and air
velocities, the thermal energy storage quantities of the stones were determined and the time-dependent
temperature changes were investigated. It found that charging time is shorter as speed and temperature
increase. As a result of the study, it was determined that the thermal storage potential of basalt stone was
higher than that of the Urfa stone. It has been seen that the thermal storage potentials of natural stones
can be used in terms of increasing energy efficiency in heating systems. With these results, it is found that
the volume, the capacity, the structure and the insulation of the storage box should be selected
appropriately for high thermal storage. In addition, the installation of an automation system is required in
order to achieve high performance in energy storage.

Abstract:
Among the energy sources, the most consumed fossil fuels tend to be depleted and are one of the main
causes of irreversible environmental pollution; has caused the world to turn to alternative energy sources.
It has become imperative that externally energy dependent countries should develop different solutions to
meet the energy needs and reduce their energy consumption. Although the use of renewable energy
sources is constantly increasing, there are some disadvantages of these systems. The biggest problem
encountered in the use of renewable energy is the discontinuity and disruption of energy. Thermal energy
storage technologies can be an important solution for energy efficiency and sustainability in energy use. In
this study, thermal energy storage properties of pebbles, Urfa stone and basalt stone at different geometric
shapes were investigated experimentally under Sanlıurfa climate conditions. For this purpose, an
experimental setup including an insulated box where the stone is placed inside, an air solar collector, a fan
and the measuring devices have been used. Solar radiation, air inlet and outlet temperatures, stone
temperatures and ambient temperature were measured and recorded by using a data logger for the
analysis and calculations. Charge and discharge times, and the thermal energy storage potentials of the
stones were determined according to the measurements carried out for different days and the time
dependent temperature changes were examined. As a result of this study, it was determined that the
thermal storage capacity of the basalt stone is higher than other stones.

Abstract:
Production of Hierarchical Graphene-Foam/α-Fe2O3/Chitosan Structure for Biosensor Applications
Graphene is a two-dimensional material, which has its own unique conic band structure and high carrier
speed of which provides itself a widespread potential of usage in the electronic devices such as in
transistors, battery and sensor applications. α-Fe2O3 is a semiconductor material that has a high binding
energy, high electrochemical performance, low cost and a wide band gap. To be used as sensors and
biosensors, α-Fe2O3 nanostructures can be synthesized by several methods including microwave heating,
solution-combustion, sol-gel, and hydrothermal methods. Among those methods, hydrothermal synthesis
shows some advantages as homogeneous nucleation, and grain growth of hematite nanocrystals. The
heterojunction structure between graphene foam (GF) and α-Fe2O3 provides an effective way to improve
the sensor's sensitivity, selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. Due to its advantageous properties such as
good biocompatibility, film-forming ability, nontoxicity, and mechanical strength, chitosan plays a vital role
in sensor studies as an enzyme binding agent where it provides immobilization of glucose oxidase enzyme
(GOx) to be coated on the composite material for a sensitive and faster glucose measurement. In this study
graphene foam has been synthesized by using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method and characterized
by Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy. In
the second part of this study; α-Fe2O3 nanowires were grown on graphene foam by hydrothermal
synthesis method and the GF / α-Fe2O3 hierarchical structure was then, characterized by XRD and SEM.

Abstract:
In this research, coal fly ash samples were collected from five different thermal power plants in Turkey.
Each of them has different concentrations of natural radioactive elements and daughters depending on
initial concentrations and chemical form of the fly ash. Activities of fly ashes which were taken from power
plants were measured in the potential of the hazardous level. For this purpose, initially, all samples were
pulverized for maintaining homogeneity and dried at 110 °C. Then transferred to containers for gamma-ray
measurements and sealed for 8 weeks to ensure secular equilibrium between radium and its radioactive
progenies. During this period samples were stayed to ascertain establishment of secular equilibrium
between 226Ra and 228Th with their daughters to prevent radon loss. Then all samples were taken to
gamma-ray spectrometric analyses. Concentration levels of samples in Bq/kg were determined. The
activity levels of 232Th and 226Ra were compared to the exempt activity concentrations for fly ash releases
as established in the basic safety standards given by the IAEA. Radiological hazardous indices of fly ash
samples were evaluated according to international permission limits. Absorbed dose rate caused by fly ash

Abstract:
The objective of this work is to develop an automatic piezoelectric insulin pump simulation model and
controller which measures and keeps the blood glucose at a healthy level.
In the design of the automatic insulin pump, different than existing studies in the literature, piezoelectric
actuated valveless micro pump were planned and the simulation model of the piezoelectric pump was
created with the COMSOL Multiphysics software with the two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis.
Valveless operation of the piezoelectric pump was provided with the nozzle/diffusor structure. In addition
to that, MATLAB-Simulink program was used in the simulation model of the automatic insulin pump and
controller design has been established here.
In the designed system, piezoelectric pump is going to deliver the insulin from the insulin reservoir to
Ackerman’s minimal model in under control and while the insulin is being sent, piezoelectric driver
increases the control signal and send the signal to the piezoelectric pump. The control signal is produced
with a closed-loop PID interpreting the data coming from the glucose sensor as feedback signal. A human’s
glucose-insulin simulation has been completed with this closed-loop mechanism.

Abstract:
The combustion synthesis of intermetallic aluminide materials has been extensively studied over the last
fourty years. The most important problems in the production of these materials by the synthesis of
combustion; the final product had insufficient density and poor homogeneity. In this study, it is aimed to
reduce porosity in the production of Fe3Al (iron aluminide) based Alumina (Al2O3) reinforced composites
by high temperature volume combustion synthesis method. The effect of high initial pressing pressures
(420 MPa, 630 MPa and 850 MPa) and different Al2O3 contents (5,15,20 vol.%) on the properties of Fe3Al-
Al2O3 composite materials were investigated. The density and porosity values of the composite material
samples were calculated by Archimedes Principle. Microstructure examinations were performed by optical
microscope (OM) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). Phase analyzes were performed with X-ray
diffraction device (XRD). For all compositions increase for density was obtained due to increased initial
pressing pressures.

Abstract:
This paper proposes new analytical expressions for a single-input single-output wireless communication
system over two-wave with diffuse power (TWDP) fading in the presence of additive Laplacian noise. The
exact and asymptotic closed-form expressions of the average symbol error rate (SER) for M-phase shift
keying (PSK) modulations are derived. The analysis are based on the probability density function of the
instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio for TWDP fading environment and averaging the conditional SER of M-
PSK with additive Laplacian noise for minimum Euclidian distance detector. The derived average SER
expressions are confirmed by simulations for various scenarios.

asymptotic probability density function (PDF) is presented for α-κ-µ distribution. Then, asymptotic ASER
expressions are proposed based on this PDF expression for three different cases such as M≥8, M=4

Abstract:
Bonding joints have an important place in the aerospace and automotive industry. The geometry of the
bonding joint, overlap length, adhesive thickness are effective to achieve a good adhesive bonding joint. As
it is difficult to make experiments in the studies on bonding connections, it is necessary to reduce the
number of experiments by modeling. In the modeling, a correct method must be used. The fracture
theories used for general materials are not sufficient to define the adhesive. For this, Cohesive Zone model
has been developed recently.
In this study, different bonding joints with the same adhesive area were subjected to axial tensile load. The
same elements were modeled by finite element method and solved with von mises and cohesive zone
model. The results were compared with the experimental results. The model which gives closer results to
experimental results has been revealed.

Abstract:
Human-targeted radar applications have become an important issue in which interest has increased in
recent years. In this study, vital signs which are the basis of many human-targeted applications are
discussed. In the case of high clutter, which is one of the most important problems of vital sign detection, it
is aimed to detect the vital signs of single and multiple human targets. A two-stage algorithm is proposed to
detect the single and multiple targets under high static Rayleigh distributed clutter. The ranges of the
targets are determined in the first stage of the algorithm while the vital signs are detected in the second
stage. The algorithm is developed for Step Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) radar structure with I/Q
demodulation and tested for different scenarios. The results confirm that the algorithm detects the vital
signs accurately.

Abstract:
Housing valuation, which is at the forefront of real estate appraisal, is inadequate to provide instant
solutions with classical methods, and methods currently used are insufficient to create housing value maps.
For this reason, the usability of artificial neural network methodologies supported by computer technology
in the application process was investigated. In the study, New TaipeiCity Sindian Dist. The real estate
market valuation gathered from. The appraisal process of these properties was realized with ANN
approaches by using 414 real estate data.
With the application of the methodology, the criteria of the established house were divided into six groups:
the date of the appraisal, the age of the building, the distance to the MRT station, the number of grocery
stores within walking distance, and the geographical coordinates of the house in the north and east.
Property appraisal was made with ANN application and an accuracy of R = 84.76% was obtained. The study

Abstract:
It is important for both the bus owner and the passengers to determine the bus and minibus routes that
are frequently used in urban passenger transport. Because the distance between the stops, the streets
where the vehicle passes, the distance to reach the bus stop of passengers, how many minutes the bus will
move, the waiting and transport time effects.
Bus routes surround the entire residential area of the city as a network in various ways. The use of buses as
a means of public transportation is preferred because it requires fewer infrastructure investments. The
distance between stops, the population of settlements, the size/capacity of the bus and how many minutes
the bus will move, determines the waiting time of passengers at the stop and duration of the tour.
In this study, it is aimed to reduce bus operating costs and waiting times of passengers. Bus stops between
Isparta center and Suleyman Demirel University West Campus, number and density of passengers, bus
departure times and bus capacities were analyzed and modeled in the simulation software. As an
alternative improvement scenario, buses with little and very passenger capacity were used and departure
times were arranged. The effect of alternative scenarios on operating costs and waiting time was evaluated
with the results obtained from simulation software.

Abstract:
Grain size affects the overall properties of metals. In order to understand the effects of grain size reduction
on microstructure, hardness, tensile properties and corrosion resistance, a grain refining element
(zirconium or cobalt) was added to aluminium bronzes some of which contained also manganese, besides
nickel and iron. The grain refining element theoretically formed 0.2 per cent of the charge that was melt in
an open atmosphere induction furnace. The castings were forged and heat treated while microstructural
investigation, hardness and tensile testing and measurement of electrical conductivity were performed
both before and after heat treatment. Furthermore, the final products were immersed in a corrosive liquid
in order to have an idea about their corrosion resistance by comparing their weight losses that occurred in
the related period.
When the results were considered, it was understood that zirconium was less effective than cobalt in
solidification stage, but it was also seen that both of the elements, also manganese itself, significantly
increased the effect of forging on hardness increase; i.e. the hardness difference between unforged alloy
and forged alloy was increased by the addition of manganese and was further increased by the addition of
the two grain refining elements. Finally, it is interesting to note that zirconium addition caused a higher
hardness increase affected by forging treatment, compared to cobalt.

Abstract:
Heating can melt the salts. Liquid forms of the salt are called ionic liquids or molten salts. While solvent
molecules and solvated ions form classical solutions, ionic liquids do not have molecular solvents, they only
have ions. Molten salts which are liquid at around room temperature are called room temperature ionic
liquids. Room temperature ionic liquids have been recently widely used for material processing. However,
their physical properties including density, boiling point, conductivity, viscosity have not been fully reported
for all ionic liquids. As ionic liquids are expensive, a small amount of ionic liquids must be prepared to
measure their physical properties. Therefore, alternative methods for measuring the physical properties of
ionic liquids from a small amount of them (typically 1 mL) are required. Quartz crystal impedance analysis
could be used to measure viscosity and density of ionic liquids. In this study rotational viscometer and
quartz crystal microbalance techniques are used together to compare rheological properties of ionic liquids
which are highly viscous. A new method is suggested to measure the viscosity of ionic liquids at a wide
temperature range from 30 °C to 80 °C in this study. A probe based on quartz crystal has been designed to
measure the viscosity of ionic liquids by immersion in an ionic liquid solution.

Abstract:
The nickel-based film was electrodeposited using the chronoamperometric method cathodically from ionic
liquid solution containing nickel chloride salts on the platinum flag working electrode. Electrochemical
performance of nickel electrodes was investigated by cyclic voltammetry technique. Electrodeposited nickel
films were transferred into acidic, neutral and alkaline electrolytes to understand their electrochemical
behaviour. After the oxidation step of the nickel film was carried out in the acidic electrolyte, the nickel-
based film separated from the platinum flag surface. The synthesized nickel film had the only oxidation step
in the neutral electrolyte. The Faradaic reaction took place in the alkaline electrolyte of nickel films
produced from the ionic liquid. Therefore, Ni-based films produced from ionic liquid electrolyte medium
containing nickel chloride on the platinum flag current collector could be suitable for use in stable
electrochemical applications.

Abstract:
Broiler production is an important source for air pollutants emission from animal agriculture. The numbers
of broiler in Bursa region increase from 5.3 million hens to 5.8 million hens between 2016 and 2017.
Therefore air quality monitoring in poultry houses should be done to determine pollutant level of
atmosphere. The aim of this study is to determine the winter time emissions of ammonia (NH3) in a
commercial layer house in the Bursa region of western Turkey. In this study, NH3 concentrations and
indoor environmental conditions such as temperature, relative humidity was measured continuously for
four consecutive days in winter months. A multi gas monitor (MultiRAE lite, Honeywell, USA) was used for
NH3 concentrations measurements. The daily average exhaust NH3 emissions overall of study were
measured as 799 g/h.house . The maximum and minimum emissions were obtained second and first
measurement day as 1423 and 396 g/h.house.

Abstract:
Livestock enterprises are a major source of polluting gases on a global scale such as ammonia (NH3),
methane (CH4), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2). With the emission of these gases from its
structure, it can cause many environmental problems, especially global warming. The European Union
(EU) issued a total of 9079.1 Gg of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in 2011, while the share of
livestock production was 63%. Compared to the previous reporting period, greenhouse gas emissions from
agriculture decreased by about 4% in EU countries. Unlike industry, emissions from agriculture are not
limited to a few major sources and are spread across Europe. As a result, farms are very different from each
other, and individual approaches should be followed in the development of prevention strategies. Each
enterprise should apply the prevention strategy that is most appropriate to its structure. A holistic farm
approach allows for possible interactions with other greenhouse gases. The next step in the greenhouse
gases issue is to encourage dairy cattle owners to adapt to other environmental and social needs as well as
changing market conditions. This requires an integrated approach, where the holistic farm model is
essential.
The aim of this study is to provide a framework study for farm-level approach integrated with greenhouse
gases together with other environmental emissions. In this study, holistic farm greenhouse gas emission
models such as Dairywise, FarmGHG, SIMSDAIRY and FarmSim applied in various European countries were
examined and their potential application was discussed.

Abstract:
High carbon steel sheets were thermally oxidized at high temperatures (400, 600 and 800 ᵒC) in a furnace.
The surface of high-carbon steel was changed after heat treatment. Steps for preparing metallographic
specimen were not applied to the samples as mechanical and electrochemical characteristic of coatings
were analyzed depending on applied temperature. Surface characterization of annealed coatings in terms
of micro-hardness and corrosion resistivity has been studied. The hardness of heated samples was
investigated by means of micro-Vickers hardness tester. Linear sweep voltammetry of heated and non-
heated steels was tested in KOH and NaCl electrolyte to elucidate their corrosion responses by means of an
electrochemical workstation. The steel surface morphology was affected by the polarization of samples in
NaCl electrolytes. Surface hardness of high carbon steel annealed at 400 ᵒC was similar to that of non-
annealed steel (only 3% decreased). However, the hardness of high carbon steel decreased by 39% and 87%
after they were annealed at 600 ᵒC and 800 ᵒC, respectively. Corrosion current of high carbon steel was
increased after annealed at 400 ᵒC. However, corrosion resistivity of high carbon steel in NaCl media
increased significantly when they were annealed at 600 ᵒC and 800 ᵒC. The corrosion resistivity of annealed
high carbon steel in KOH media was generally more than in NaCl electrolyte.

Abstract:
In any production process, especially human-based errors are known to cause serious problems in terms of
time and costs in the later stages of projects. Investigating the factors that cause such serious
consequences and investigating the root causes are important in terms of maintaining the production
process in a healthy way and maintaining costs and firm prestige. When the causes of human-based errors
in the production process are investigated, observed reasons are given as follows: lack of training,
motivational reasons, the reasons related to the lack of attention of employees, working in the duties that
are not suitable for the person's ability level, using of inappropriate task schedules. Prioritization of these
reasons and determination of how the elimination efforts will be initiated will reduce the possible time loss
of the enterprise. Therefore, in this study, the prioritization of the causes of human errors is discussed. For
this prioritization process, due to the nature of the root causes of the errors, the use of fuzzy logic was
thought to lead to more accurate results and triangular fuzzy numbers were used to express the
uncertainty in the structure of the factors. Analytic Hierarchy Process approach based on binary
comparison logic was used for the prioritization process.

among renewable and green energy resources, is to determine which one of the systems, which shall
prevent icing on the blades during cold weather, should be used. This choice can be handled as a Multi-
Criteria Resolution Making problem, which includes multiple alternatives and requires multiple criteria to
be considered. A solution of using Hesitant Fuzzy AHP and VIKOR methods as a two staged integrated
system is recommended for selecting anti-icing systems. HF-AHP method is used during prioritizing
selection criteria of the anti-icing systems. HF-VIKOR method is used during the ordering stage of anti-icing

Abstract:
In today's rapidly developing technologies, the place and importance of composite materials is gradually
increasing and the studies carried out in these fields are continuing rapidly. While metal matrix composite
materials form part of these studies, especially the applications of ceramic particle reinforced aluminum
composites are expanding. Generally, different types and amounts of SiC, B4C, SiO2, Al2O3, TiC, MgO, TiB,
etc. are added into the aluminum alloys of different quality. ceramic reinforcement materials are added.
However, composite materials are generally produced by using a variety of these reinforcing materials and
are subject to scientific studies. In this experimental study; Two different ceramic-based reinforcing
materials, SiC and MgO, were mixed equally, and 3%, 6% and 12% reinforcements in 2024 quality aluminum
alloy were produced by hybrid composite materials by vortex method. Density, hardness, transverse
fracture and abrasive wear tests were performed by examining the microstructures of the composite
materials produced. According to the test results, the porosity in the composite structure increased and the
density values decreased due to the increasing reinforcement ratio. On the other hand, the hardness values
of the composites increased with increasing reinforcement ratio. However, their cross fracture and
abrasion resistance decreased. It was concluded that it is useful to try different production parameters in
order to obtain better mechanical properties in such composites produced by vortex method.

Abstract:
During drilling of AISI 4140 tempering steel with different gash rake angle, the effects of the gash rake angle
on the thrust force and drilling moment, which are called cutting loads, were predicted by fuzzy logic. The
data from monolithic solid carbide drill were used that has +10°, 0°, -10° gash angle and diameter with 6,8
mm in the experiments, which published previously. According to the experimental study, the gash rake
angle and the feed amount are the most effective parameters on the thrust force and the drilling moment.
A limited number of experimental studies were conducted to determine the relationship between drilling
parameters and cutting loads. However, obtaining the mathematical model that gives the thrust force and
the drilling moment values with respect to the gash rake angle and the feed amount is difficult to define
with high accuracy. Proposed fuzzy model consists of two input variables and two output variables. The
fuzzy model was constituted with the gash rake angle and the feed amount as independent parameters for
the thrust force and the drilling moment. The results showed that the proposed fuzzy model represented
experimental results with high confidence.

Abstract:
Breast region detection is the pioneering step of breast cancer diagnosis researches performed via image
processing techniques. The performance of computer-aided breast cancer diagnosis systems can be
improved by exactly determining the region of interest (ROI).
In this study, the target is to determine an ROI for breast MR images, in which one or more lesion can
appear. The proposed ROI detection system is fully automatic and it utilizes several image processing
techniques. At first, the local adaptive thresholding (LAT) technique is applied to the noise-filtered grey
level breast magnetic resonance (MR) images taken with legal permissions from Sakarya Education and
Research Hospital. After adaptive thresholding, connected component analysis (CCA) is performed to
exclude extra structures around the breast region as thorax area. This analysis selects the largest area in
the binary image which corresponds to a gyrate region including breast area and lymph nodes over the
backbone. Then, the integral of horizontal projection is calculated to determine an optimum horizontal line
that allows setting the ROI apart.Finally, a masking operation is applied to get corresponding right and left
breast regions in the original MR image.
To evaluate the performance of the proposed study, the results of automatic ROI detection are compared
with the manual ROI selection performed by an expert radiologist. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and
Jaccard coefficient (JC) are used as performance criteria. According to the results, the proposed system can
detect RIO for computer-aided breast cancer diagnosis researches, exactly.

Abstract:
Parkinson is a disease (PD) that occurs with the loss of brain cells which are generating Dopamine. The most
important primary motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are shaking of hands, arms, legs, chin and face,
slowness of movement, and speech changes. Sound changes are not recognized at the early stages of the
disease while it becomes evident at the progressive stages. However, speech changes can be detected with
some acoustic parameters. This study aims to detect Parkinson’s disease by using voice recordings.
In this study, 342 voice recordings that consist of 174 healthy and 168 Parkinson’s subjects’ recordings
are taken. 21 features are extracted from each voice record. The classification of subjects as healthy or
Parkinson’s patient is achieved by using logistic regression, k-nearest neighboring and ensemble gentle
boost techniques. Furthermore, ten-fold and leave-one-out cross validation techniques are applied to
improve the performance and reliability of each classifier. Sensitivity, specificity, maximum and average
accuracy values are calculated to evaluate the success of the system. The obtained results show that the
proposed system using voice recordings can be experimented by the neurologists to diagnose Parkinson’s
disease at its early stages.

Abstract:
In the present work, a detailed investigation of the influence of external perturbations, in particular intense
terahertz radiation, static electric and magnetic fields on the electron-related optical responses such as
total optical absorption coefficients and relative refractive index changes for a quantumwell with the
square tangent potential is presented. The subband energy levels and their corresponding wave functions
are obtained by solving the one-electron Hamiltonian
of the system under the framework of the effective-mass and parabolic band approximations. Optical
coefficients are reported for varying incident photon energies. The numerical results show that the optical
response is shifted towards the blue with the increase in the magnitude of the applied external fields.
These results can provide an input for use in optoelectronic device applications.

Abstract:
In this study, wear and friction behaviors of unfilled polyoxymethylene (POM) polymer, 20wt% carbon black
filled POM (POM-20KS), 25wt% polytetrafluorethylene filled POM (POM-25PTFE) and 20wt% graphite filled
POM (POM-20Gr) composites were examined. Tribological tests were carried out under dry conditions
using a pin-disc device under a sliding speed of 0.4-1.2 m/s and a load of 10-30 N. As a result of the study, it
was determined that friction coefficient decreased with increasing load while increased with sliding speed.
PTFE solid lubricants were the best choice for improving both friction and wear behaviors of POM polymer
due to the lower friction coefficient and mass wear rate.

Abstract:
As a prospective renewable energy resource, bulk heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ-OSCs) have
afforded significant improvements in the field of organic solar cells over the past few years. The small
molecules (SM) have many advantages such as defined molecular structures, easy purification, low mass,
flexibility and cost effectiveness. When SM are compared to polymers, SM allow the structure-property-
device relationship to be more easily established and investigated. Owing to all these advantages, SM in
many different structures have been synthesized with increasing variety in recent years [1].
In the present work, we synthesized ten novel acrylonitrile molecules having different aromatic cores
(substituted phenyl or thiophene rings) for organic solar cell applications. All synthesized compounds were
characterized using different spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, LC-MS). We have
fabricated inverted type organic solar cells with ITO/ZnO/Active layer/MoO3/Ag and ITO/TiO2/Active
layer/PEDOT:IPA/Ag device configurations and employed novel small molecules in the active layers. The
current-voltage characteristics of all devices were investigated. We compared device performances with
respect to the molecular structure differences.

Abstract:
Ruthenium complexes gain great interest due to stability and structural novelty in catalyst, dye sensitizied
solar cells (DSSCs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and biosensor applications [1]. Ruthenium has
various oxidation states (from 0 to 8). The electronic and electrochemical properties of ruthenium
complexes easily change depending on ligands.
In this work, a new ruthenium(II) complex containing bipyridine ligand with alkyl side group [RuCl2(p-
cymene)L] (L: Bipyridine derivative) was synthesized and characterized by using FTIR, NMR, UV/Vis,
fluorescence spectroscopies. The absorption spectra of the complex were obtained in different solvents.
The electrochemical properties of the complex was investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The photophysical
and electrocemical properties of the complex suggest that the molecule is a potential candidate for
biosensor and OLED applications.References

Abstract:
The optimization of parameters for the Impregnation process in order to produce high-quality prepregs
with high impregnation quality is challenging. The purpose of the study is to access the applicability of full
factorial experimental design 23 in predicting properties of polymer composite prepregs. This paper
presents an experimental study of the impregnation of aramid cloth with thermosetting resin matrix.
Experiments (DoE) method is used to create quality prepreg and to find optimized input parameters for this
technology. The major benefits gained of the current study are that the thickness of film is an important
parameter, which has a prominent effect on the final product. A model is developed to describe the resin
content as functions from thickness film, temperature and impregnation velocity in horizontal impregnating
process. Results are obtained methodically through the separation of variables.
The methods and results presented in this paper offer a valuable insight of how to measure the
quality and how to use this information for the optimization of Impregnation processes Experimental
studies were performed with changing parameters – temperature, thickness of film and speed. Finally, it
describes the content of resin inside of the composites. The resin content is controlled by a combination
of the thickness resin film, the impregnation velocity and the oven temperature. These properties are good
enough for aramid fabric prepreg to be used as engineering materials in many structural applications.

Abstract:
Analysis of natural risks in mountainous regions includes several typical natural processes such as snow
avalanches, floods, earthquakes, and different types of landslides. Separate investigations of single
processes only might lead to a wrong estimation of the general natural risks for these areas. To avoid this
trap, natural risk assessments should not focus on a singular process but on multiple processes. Within this
study a general methodology is developed to analyse natural risk for multiple processes. The method is
applied in Knjaževac, Serbia. In particular forest fire, flood and debris flows pose a hazard to the sity of
34000 inhabitants. The natural risk calculation is a function based on the input parameters hazard,
vulnerability, probability of the spatial impact, probability of the temporal impact, probability of the
seasonal occurrence and damage potential. First, the risk posed by each process is calculated. Results are
presented as individual risk and object risk to life, and as economic risk for each process. Finally, single
process risk maps are combined into multi-hazard risk maps. For risk assessment, we can use information
systems to facilitate evaluation, which work and shows.

Abstract:
The most effective way of reducing the consequences of a fire, if they can not completely avoid it, is to take
preventive measures, after which measures are taken in the field of organization of fire protection in the
premises of the enterprise, in order to carry out successful evacuation of people, material values and quick
report, localization and fire extinguishing. The prevention of fire protection is ensured by planning and
implementing preventive measures and actions in order to prevent the outbreak of fire as efficiently as
possible, and in the event of a fire, the risk to human life and health and material and material endangering
as well as environmental damage are reduced to the minimum and it limits the fire at the place of the
outbreak. The paper presents the fire protection measures in the flotation plants, as well as the risk
assessment in these plants.

Abstract:
This contribution aims to novel technique of immobilization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to polymer
surface (PET) based on the action of polarized light from pulsed excimer laser. Immobilization of
nanoparticles on the surface of soft polymers belongs to current challenges of materials science owing to
high application potential of resulting structures in e.g. catalysis or antimicrobial treatment. Compared to
conventionally used techniques proposed approach enables to tailor specific surface area of polymers
during the immobilization process, thus providing a large surface area of active component (AgNPs).
Successful immobilization was verified by broad spectrum of advanced analytical methods such as scanning
electron microscopy with field emission gun (FEG-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy
dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS). The depth profile of the silver in polymer layer was studied by Rutherford back scattering (RBS). PET
foil with immobilized nanoparticles was also investigated for particle release by inductively coupled plasma
equiped with mass spectroscopy detector (ICP-MS). RBS together with ICP-MS proofed that AgNPs were
firmly immobilized in the thin (tens of nm) PET layer which prevented their release into water environment
even after vigorous sample sonication. Thus, our laser-implanted nanoparticles are believed to open up
new possibilities in the development of the next generation of catalyst platforms or cell-conform
antimicrobial coatings of polymeric materials.

Abstract:
In recent decades, the artificial intelligence and machine learning applications have become quite
important in human life. While machine learning and deep learning methods are become widespread in
speech and language technologies, the human-machine interaction meets with new level. People can
communicate with machines as if they were communicating with people. In this study, an implementation
of this new human-machine interaction is illustrated through SINFOBOT which is a spoken information
system for restaurant searching domain. SINFOBOT aims to provide easiness and time-saving for people.
Since the speech is the most natural communication way of people, SINFOBOT has speech interface. Hence,
the user does not have to deal with learning new technology, request writing or menu clicking unlike
conventional information systems.
SINFOBOT is modelled as closed-domain spoken dialogue system. Firstly, the user speech utterance is
transcribed by using automatic speech recognition (ASR) module. After that, transcribed utterance is
interpreted and the proper response is generated through goal oriented bot (GOB) module. GOB module is
a hybrid structure which includes recurrent neural networks (RNNs), templates and databases. Finally, the
system response is vocalized by text to speech (TTS) module.
In this study, a spoken information system was developed for restaurant searching domain in English.
However, SINFOBOT has modular and reconfigurable structure. Within reconfigurable ability, it can be
adapted to new domains or new languages.

Abstract:
M2M and IoT technologies are fast developing technologies. In the study, a system was designed that
transmitted moving images taken via the camera attached to the Raspberryi Pi 3, which features a mini-
computer, in real time with clients via the web browser, allowing the client to simultaneously monitor the
location it was viewing. The aim of the system is to find faces to control a remote region using deep
learning methods and to report negative situations in real time as a result of the recognition process. The
designed system qualifies as a smart security camera. The application system is designed as 2 layers of
hardware and software. The hardware layer includes the Raspberry Pi3 and Pi Camera module. The
software layer includes the Raspian-Lite ARM Linux operating system, which offers the highest performance
in the hardware resources criterion, and the application software being developed. Application software
has been developed to detect and inform those responsible for unauthorized interference with public
service vehicles such as ATMs, electricity boards, etc. The software attempts to detect the human face from
the image taken from the camera in the environment where the system is installed. If it detects the human
face, it performs DNN-based facial recognition. If the identified person is indifferent to the system's
MongoDB database, he / she sends an electronic mail notification to the responsible person. The user
monitors the environment in real time from any environment located in the standard web browser.

Abstract:
Code commenting is a practice of documentation that was always used by developers for reflecting their
intention and assumptions of the code itself for them to enhance their code readability and make the code
maintainable and reusable for others and themselves. However, as most of the research papers that we
studied for this research, we found out that this practice was always neglected and not used by
programmers to its maximum potential and this results in releasing apps that are difficult to understand by
other programmers and not easily maintainable in the future. The difficulties of writing good code
comments arise because code comments are different from source code since they cannot be tested, also,
code comments are written in natural language which makes it hard to track them down and study their
use. Therefore, this paper takes the preliminary initiative to study the usage of in code comments in 24
android applications, analyse them via automation tool made specifically for this research according to
their redundancy to different categorizations, and validate their benefits and feasibility in the code
understanding and maintainability level of the app. The results of this research paper proved that although
code commenting documentation practice was reported in previous researches to be ignored or avoided by
programmers and their companies but the code comments blocks presented in our app research samples
were well used in explaining the code and raising its readability to other developers which reflects directly
to the ease of the applications maintainability.

Abstract:
Health informatics is undergoing accelerated development with the increasing use of electronic health
record systems globally. However, this rapid change poses a problem for healthcare leaders in strategic
planning and technology implementation.
1. To study the current challenges in health informatics within existing frameworks
2. To evaluate emerging biomedical technologies that could revolutionize healthcare
We conducted a detailed and integrative review of the research literature on health informatics with a
focus on current challenges and predicted trends. We searched multiple research databases including
PubMed MEDLINE and Google Scholar with the keywords “health informatics future” using the best match
sort order. Articles were reviewed for relevance and validity based on empirical data.
We found five major trends in health informatics that can impact its future. These include interoperability
and data standards, security and privacy, big data and predictive analytics, and clinical decision support for
patient safety and better health outcomes. Underpinning these themes are new and emerging technologies
such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, wireless data exchange, biometrics, image processing
and robotics. However, several challenges have surfaced in the field of health informatics: rising costs,
privacy breaches, lack of evidence for technology effectiveness, increased time demands on healthcare
workers, digital divide, and poor usability.
Health informatics is rapidly advancing the delivery of medical care worldwide by promising efficiency,
guided decision making and improved patient safety but faces several implementation challenges. Careful
evaluation of technology effectiveness is need to guide future investment decisions.

Abstract:
There are plenty of studies indicating the positive effects of using appropriate light in presentation of
products sold in supermarkets in terms of increased amount of purchases. This proves the importance of
using best compatible light and equipment in the sector. EN12464-1 standard defines the requirements
should be taken care of for interior lighting of workplaces. According to this standard, illuminance levels,
discomfort glare, color rendering index should be investigated and lighting installation have to be designed
in accordance.
Talking in general supermarket owners are in search of a multipurpose lighting system which can handle
both visual performance to boost the sales and consumes less energy serving as a focus lighting product
but also realizing general and emergency lighting duties at the same time. Such a request forces lighting
suppliers to design a modular equipment that can meet numerous demands in just one structure.
Being aware of those requests this study presents the results of a TUBITAK project(2017-2019). A luminaire
with Led light sources has an advanced optic design (efficiency>92%) which is capable of making focus
lighting and general lighting at the same time is developed. Furthermore it has different capabilities as
dimming, emergency lighting, low maintenance costs, being user friendly and tunable white technology
which allows interior placement changes in supermarkets and helps both to customers and workers in a
good way in terms of visual and psychological performance. This design will help the supermarkets both to
reduce the energy bills but also create a better interior atmosphere.
