Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 28Development of Amoxicillin-Loaded Electrospun Polyurethane/Chitosan Β-Tricalcium Phosphate Scaffold for Bone Tissue Regeneration(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2018) Topsakal, Aysenur; Uzun, Muhammet; Ugar, Gaye; Ozcan, Aslihan; Altun, Esra; Oktar, Faik Nuzhet; Gunduz, OguzhanBiocompatible nanocomposite electrospun fibers containing Polyurethane/Chitosan/beta-Tri calcium phosphate with diverse concentrations were designed and produced through the electrospinning process for bone tissue engineering applications. After the production process, density measurement, viscosity, electrical conductivity, and tensile strength measurement tests were carried out as physical analyses of blended solutions. The chemical structural characterization was scrutinized using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphological details of developed electrospun scaffolds. Cell viability, attachment, and proliferation were performed using a L929 fibroblast cell line. Based on the physical, SEM, FTIR analysis, and cell culture studies, preferable nanofiber composition was selected for further studies. Amoxicillin (AMX) was loaded to that selected nanofiber composition for examination of the drug release. In comparison with other studies on similar AMX controlled products, higher drug loading and encapsulation efficiencies were obtained. It has been clearly found that the developed nanofiber composites have potential for bone tissue engineering applications.Article Citation - WoS: 193Citation - Scopus: 211A Generalized Lmi-Based Approach To the Global Asymptotic Stability of Delayed Cellular Neural Networks(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2004) Singh, VA novel linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based criterion for the global asymptotic stability and uniqueness of the equilibrium point of a class of delayed cellular neural networks (CNNs) is presented. The criterion turns out to be a generalization and improvement over some previous criteria.Article Citation - WoS: 102Citation - Scopus: 113A 1.6-Mm, Metal Tube Ultrasonic Motor(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2003) Cagatay, S; Koc, B; Uchino, KA miniaturized metal tube ultrasonic motor, the dimensions of which are 1.6 mm in diameter and 6 rum in length, was developed. Two flattened surfaces with 90-degrees were ground on the outer surface of the stator. Two PZT-based piezoelectric ceramics were bonded onto these flat surfaces. The asymmetrical surface of the stator developed the split of the two degenerated orthogonal bending modes, resulting in a wobble motion. The working frequency of the 1.6-mm motor with 6 mm in length was 130 kHz. A torque of 0.5 mNm was reached at a maximum power of 45 mW with a speed of 45 rad/sec. The maximum efficiency was 16%.Article Citation - WoS: 431Citation - Scopus: 576Stability Analysis of Social Foraging Swarms(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2004) Gazi, V; Passino, KMIn this article we specify an M-member "individual-based" continuous time swarm model with individuals that move in an n-dimensional space according to an attractant/repellent or a nutrient profile. The motion of each individual is determined by three factors: i) attraction to the other individuals on long distances; ii) repulsion from the other individuals on short distances; and iii) attraction to the more favorable regions (or repulsion from the unfavorable regions) of the attractant/repellent profile. The emergent behavior of the swarm motion is the result of a balance between inter-individual interactions and the simultaneous interactions of the swarm members with their environment. We study the stability properties of the collective behavior of the swarm for different profiles and provide conditions for collective convergence to more favorable regions of the profile.
