Designing biosensors for detection of target species in any test solution has attracted keen interest throughout the world. Over the conventional methods biosensors have several advantages which are specific, rapid, and simple to operate, and ease of fabrication with minimal sample pretreatment involved. However, reproducibility and stability are still major drawbacks. To overcome these problems, a suitable immobilization method must be chosen. Conducting polymers serve excellent immobilization platform for biomolecule depositions owing to their biocompatibility, ease of preparation and ability to modify structural properties. Besides, combination of conducting polymers and nanostructures attracted considerable attention in biosensing applications. Modification of the electrode surface with nanostructures leads to increase rate of electron transfer between biomolecules and support material. By this way, effective and stable biosensor design is achieved. In this thesis, a functional polymer, poly(6-(4,7-bis(2,3-dihydrothieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-5-yl)-2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-2-yl)hexan-1-amine) poly(BEDOA-6), was utilized as an immobilization matrix for glucose oxidase biosensor construction. Moreover, conducting polymer surface was modified with PMMA/clay nanocomposite material and modified gold nanoparticles to develop two different glucose biosensors. After successful electrochemical deposition of the polymer; poly(BEDOA-6) on the graphite electrode, immobilization of glucose oxidase was carried out. During immobilization, nanostructures were used in biosensor fabrication to achieve the most effective surface design for target biosensors. By applying constant potential, consumption of oxygen concentration in bulk solution was followed using amperometric technique. Surface features of the biosensors were characterized using several techniques like SEM, XPS, TEM, Fluorescence Microscopy. The designed biosensors showed wide linear ranges with low detection limits. Also, kinetic parameters, operational and storage stabilities were determined. Finally, the biosensors were tested on real samples

A Plume Tracking Algorithm Based on Crosswind Formations Lochmatter, Thomas; Aydın Göl, Ebru; Navarro, Inaki; Martinoli, Alcherio (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013-01-01) We introduce a plume tracking algorithm based on robot formations. The algorithm is inherently designed for multi-robot systems, and requires at least two robots to collaborate. The robots try to keep themselves centered around the plume while moving upwind towards the source, and share their odor concentration and wind direction measurements with each other. In addition, robots know the relative poses of other team members. Systematic experiments with up to 5 real robots in a wind tunnel show that the robo...

A gas-kinetic BGK scheme for parallel solution of 3-D viscous flows on unstructured hybrid grids Ilgaz, Murat; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (2007-01-01) In this study, a gas-kinetic BGK scheme for the solution of 3-D viscous flows on unstructured hybrid grids is presented. The second order accurate finite volume formulations are given. In order to accurately resolve the boundary layers in wall bounded viscous flows, hexahedral grid cells are employed in the boundary layer regions normal to solid surfaces while the rest of the domain is discretized by tetrahedral cells. The computation time, which is an important deficiency of gas-kinetic BGK schemes, is imp...
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF HYPERSPECTRAL ANOMALY AND SIGNATURE BASED TARGET DETECTION METHODS FOR OIL SPILLS Soydan, Hilal; Koz, Alper; Düzgün, Hafize Şebnem; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2015-06-05) Hyperspectral target detection methods have until now progressed mainly on two paths in remote sensing research. The first approach, anomaly detection methods, use the difference of a local region with respect to its neighborhood to analyze the image without using any prior information of the searched target. The second approach on the other hand uses a previously obtained signature of the target, which uniquely represents the target's characteristics with respect to the spectral wavelengths. The signature ...
A novel method for electromagnetic target classification using the music algorithm: Applied to small-scale aircraft targets Secmen, Mustafa; Sayan, Gönül (2006-01-01) This paper introduces a novel target classification method based on the extraction of target features by using natural response related late-time electromagnetic scattered field data. In the feature extraction stage, the use of multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm together with a simple but effective feature fusion approach leads to a significant reduction in the sensitivity of classification accuracy to both aspect angle variations and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) levels of the data. Another...
