Advances in nanomaterials have promoted the development of biosensor technologies. User friendly, fast, economic, reliable biosensors can be incorporated into diagnostic methods. Without complex laboratory equipment and qualified person, Point of Care (PoC) tests with biosensors can be carried out. Among a variety of biosensors, nucleic acid based biosensors are promising to have high specificity and sensitivity. Thus, in this study, nucleic acids are employed on modifications of nanomaterials during construction of lateral flow assay (LFA) platform. Foodborne diseases continue to be a major health issue. A major reason of foodborne disease is Salmonella contamination. Contaminated foods give rise to serious illnesses, possibly hospitalization and death if untreated. Consequently; safe, rapid and economic detection methods of Salmonella is likely to improve public health. The aim of this study is detection of Salmonella with LFA including mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSP-SiNPs). In this study, MSP-SiNPs, entrapping 3,3’,5,5’-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), were functionalized with oligonucleotide probes, which were complementary sequences to InvA gene of Salmonella. Complementary target sequence took oligonucleotides away from SiNPs and made TMB released so that HRP-H2O2 can oxidize TMB. Optimization experiments were carried out to get proper colorimetric reaction on LFA,. In our study, optimized LFA platform could manage high specificity. 284 bp amplicon of InvA gene and 292 bp amplicon of Ycdt gene were significantly discriminated by complementary probes. Probes could considerably differentiate targets and 3 mismatches on complementary sequences. Sensitivity of SiNPs based LFA was also checked with synthetic targets and PCR. Limit of Detection (LoD) for synthetic complementary target reached up to l5 nM. LoD for PCR was found at 15 cycle. SiNPs based LFA system, advanced in this study, achieved to specifically and sensitively detect Salmonella through target amplicon. The device is promising, hopeful and up-coming for undeveloped countries to do a field study. SiNPs based LFA is a cheap, rapid, reliable and user-friendly detection system.

Biopolymer based micro/nanoparticles as drug carriers for the treatment of skin diseases Eke, Gözde; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2011) Controlled drug delivery systems are becoming increasingly interesting with the contribution of nanotechnology. In the case of transdermal applications the greatest limitation is the highly impermeable outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. One promising method of controlled transdermal drug delivery of the skin therapeutics is the use of nanoparticles as carriers. Encapsulation of the drug, as opposed to classical topical application of creams or emulsions, allows the drug to diffuse into hair f...
Assessment of changes in the dielectric properties of multidrug resistant cancer cells by electrorotation technique / Bahrieh, Garsha; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) With recent advances in microfabrication technologies different methodologies are employed to study the dielectric properties of the biological systems. These include electrorotation (ER), dielectrophoresis, microelectrical impedance spectroscopy, and impedance flow cytometry. Among them, ER is utilized as a high accuracy approach in determining the membrane and interior dielectric properties of single cells. In addition, in cancer therapy, cancer cells are developing resistance toward the chemotherapeutic ...
Development of an Assessment Model for Industry 4.0: Industry 4.0-MM Gökalp, Ebru; Şener, Umut; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2017-10-05) The application of new technologies in the manufacturing environment is ushering a new era referred to as the 4th industrial revolution, and this digital transformation appeals to companies due to various competitive advantages it provides. Accordingly, there is a fundamental need for assisting companies in the transition to Industry 4.0 technologies/practices, and guiding them for improving their capabilities in a standardized, objective, and repeatable way. Maturity Models (MMs) aim to assist organization...
Development of a rapid-scan fiber-integrated terahertz spectrometer Keskin, Hakan; Altan, Hakan; Yavas, Seydi; İLDAY, Fatih Ömer; Eken, Koray; ŞAHİN, ASAF BEHZAT (2014-04-01) Scientists in terahertz (THz) wave technologies have benefited from the recent developments in ultrafast laser technologies and RF technologies and applied these new gained techniques into characterizing a wide variety of phenomena. Undoubtedly, the most successful of these applications has been in the development of time-domain terahertz spectroscopic and imaging systems which has been utilized in the characterization of dielectrics and semiconductors.

Management of Service Function Chains in Programmable Data Plane Yürekten, Özgür (2021-07-19) The rapid development of information technologies necessitates the use of high-speed network technologies. Software defined networking and network function virtualization are critical technologies for high-bandwidth, dynamically managed and cost-effective networks. Offloading network functions to the data plane and management of network service function chain (SFC) using data plane programming improve network performance. In this study, the framework that enables the management of service function chains fr...
