Micro-a-fluidics ELISA for rapid CD4 cell count at the point-of-care
(Nature, 2014-01-22)HIV has become one of the most devastating pathogens in human history. Despite fast progress in HIV-related basic research, antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains the most effective method to save AIDS patients' lives. ... -
Microchip ELISA coupled with cell phone to detect ovarian cancer HE4 biomarker in urine
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers in the USA, and early diagnosis can potentially increase 5-year survival rate. Detection of biomarkers derived from hyperplasia of epithelial tissue by ... -
Microzonation with respect to ground shaking intensity
(CRC Press, 2019)Seismic microzonation is conducted to assess the seismic hazard on the ground surface with respect to ground shaking intensity. A probabilistic seismic hazard study is conducted to define earthquake characteristics on the ... -
Mixed method review for integrating building information modeling and life-cycle assessments
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)Previous studies have suggested that building information modeling (BIM) and life-cycle assessments (LCAs) could be integrated to quantify and alleviate the environmental effects of buildings while simplifying and optimizing ... -
Multi-criteria decision-making model for risk management in modular construction projects
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)The modular sector needs a precise guide to determine the most efficient risk management approaches. The main research objective of this study is to develop a multi-criteria decision-making model to find the most efficient ... -
A new embankment construction method through the analysis of possible failure mechanisms in soft soils
(International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2019)A new method to analyze the failure behavior of embankments on soft soils is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is based on the evaluation of stability considerations applied on a possible mechanism which can be ... -
Nonlinear dynamic behavior of the basins with 2D bedrock
(Elsevier, 2018-04)Resonance due to impedance contrast, focusing due to subsurface topography, conversion of the body waves to surface waves and subsurface topography are among the factors influencing the amplification specification of the ... -
Numerical analysis of segmental tunnel linings - Use of the beam-spring and solid-interface methods
(Techno-Press (테크노프레스), 2022-04-16)The effect of segmental joints is one of main importance for the segmental lining design when tunnels are excavated by a mechanized process. In this paper, segmental tunnel linings are analyzed by two numerical methods, ... -
Numerical modeling of the offshore wind turbine monopile foundation under environmental loading
(CRC Press, 2019)Prediction of dynamic performance of an offshore wind turbine requires consideration of many different design parameters. Beside the superstructure, foundation also plays an important role both functionally and financially ... -
Observations from geotechnical arrays in Istanbul
(Springer, 2015-04-16)Few small earthquakes with local magnitude slightly larger than ML = 4 were recorded by geotechnical downhole arrays that have been recently deployed in the west side of Istanbul. Same events were also recorded by Istanbul ... -
Optimization of spectrally selective Si/SiO2 based filters for thermophotovoltaic devices
(Elsevier, 2017-08)Design of a spectrally selective filter based on one-dimensional Si/SiO2 layers is considered for improved performance of thermo-photovoltaic devices. Spectrally selective filters transmit only the convertible radiation ... -
Passive radiative cooling design with broadband optical thin-film filters
(Elsevier, 2017-09)The operation of most electronic semiconductor devices suffers from the self-generated heat. In the case of photovoltaic or thermos-photovoltaic cells, their exposure to sun or high temperature sources make them get warm ... -

(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014)This book collects 5 keynote and 15 topic lectures presented at the 2nd European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology (2ECEES), held in Istanbul, Turkey, from August 24 to 29, 2014. The conference was organized ... -
Predicting pore volume, compressive strength, pore connectivity, and formation factor in cementitious pastes containing fly ash
(Elsevier, 2021-09)This paper describes the use of thermodynamic modeling to predict the reaction products and properties of cementitious pastes containing fly ash. A pore partitioning model is used to estimate the gel and capillary pore ... -
Predicting the risky encounters without distance knowledge between the ships via machine learning algorithms
(Elsevier, 2023-07-01)As the maritime traffic is getting denser, the number of encounters is increasing. The aim of this study is to develop a prediction model to classify encounters as risky or non-risky when two ships encounter in a certain ... -

A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for the Turkish territory—part I: the area source model
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)The seismic zoning map of Turkey that is used in connection with the national seismic design code (versions issued both in 1997 and 2007) is based on a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment study conducted more than 20 ... -
Probabilistic seismic microzonation for ground shaking intensity, a case study in Türkiye
(Springer, 2023-10)The purpose of seismic microzonation is to estimate earthquake characteristics on the ground surface based on a probabilistic approach to mitigate earthquake damage in the foreseeable future for the new buildings, as well ... -
Pros and cons of using building information modeling in the aec industry
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2019-08-01)Although a plethora of studies on building information modeling (BIM) have been conducted in the last decade, none of the previous studies collate and/or prioritize the benefits, risks, and challenges of BIM based on the ...
