The notions of health and well-being, which are now entrapped within degenerative systems, are inseparable components of the built environment which creates a need for it to be re-established. Within degenerative patterns of the built environment, there is a dependence on outer resources in which people rely upon as well whereas the planet earth requires systems that operates with health-wise positive impacts on both people and the environment. Regenerative development, on the other hand, not only offers a holistic thinking through circular systems that aims to eliminate or even reverse degeneration but also helps it to regain its state of 'regenesis' within built environment. It is argued in this thesis that the precautions taken for degeneration are not enough to cope with the extremes, and regenerative development is able to offer solutions as it centers human health and wellbeing as much as planetary wellbeing, therefore, aims to analyze the wellbeing component in relation to physical, intellectual and emotional dimension within architectural implementations in order to shed light to regenerative potentials in an effort to support wellbeing nourishment. As a result of the investigation of several research projects, a derivative wellness correlation chart is formed from biophilic patterns and Well Certfication in order to define parameters for health and wellbeing improvement. Derived methodology is explained by its application on selected two case studies from Turkey so as to demonstrate health and wellbeing nourishment can be achieved through several elements of which also improve livability of environment.

A generic approach towards finite growth with examples of athlete's heart, cardiac dilation, and cardiac wall thickening
Göktepe, Serdar; Kuhl, Ellen (2010-10-01)
The objective of this work is to establish a generic continuum-based computational concept for finite growth of living biological tissues. The underlying idea is the introduction of an incompatible growth configuration which naturally introduces a multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into an elastic and a growth part. The two major challenges of finite growth are the kinematic characterization of the growth tensor and the identification of mechanical driving forces for its evolution. Mot...
From 3D printing to 3D bioprinting: the material properties of polymeric material and its derived bioink for achieving tissue specific architectures

The application of 3D printing technologies fields for biological tissues, organs, and cells in the context of medical and biotechnology applications requires a significant amount of innovation in a narrow printability range. 3D bioprinting is one such way of addressing critical design challenges in tissue engineering. In a more general sense, 3D printing has become essential in customized implant designing, faithful reproduction of microenvironmental niches, sustainable development of implants, in the capa...
The Effects of intranasal oxytocin during trustworthiness evaluation: context matters
Karabulut, Anıl; Gökçay, Didem; Department of Medical Informatics (2017)
Social domain of human life is thought to be regulated majorly by the factors present in the immediate surroundings. Aside from environmental factors, as one of the agents connecting neurochemical mechanisms and social processes, the neuropeptide oxytocin is also suggested to be involved in social cognition and prosocial behavior including approach and trust. Thus, the current study is conducted towards understanding the effects of intranasally administered oxytocin on pupil dilation and on trustworthiness ...
A social network analysis of learning in corporate training context: Analyzing Sosyal 2.0 as a space for networked learning
Tufan, Didem; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Günel Kılıç, Banu (2014-04-09)
It is obvious that, human life is being affected by the facilities of new technologies with all of its aspects including learning and development. On the other hand, besides the increasing use of the facilities, we have limited knowledge about the question of how social interaction and Web 2.0 technologies affect the training environments in workplace context. This study, which is a part of an on-going doctoral research, aims at investigating the interactions among participants within the networks cons...
From supramolecular chemistry to fundamental organic chemistry: bis-rosette nanotubes and novel molecular frameworks
İğci, Cansu; Günbaş, Emrullah Görkem; Department of Chemistry (2017)
Novel supramolecular structures are inspired by many functional biological systems present in nature. The design of supramolecular components is concerned with the conceptualization of an organized state of matter that possess the steric and functional information necessary to translate complex mixture into ordered structures. The organization of matter brought about through non-covalent forces, and the structures generated are almost impossible to put together from a covalent perspective. Hydrogen bonding ...
