The demand for electronic devices such as smart phones, touch screens and flat panel televisions has been increased over the past decade. These devices need transparent conductors and the most widely used transparent conductor as electrode in these devices is indium tin oxide (ITO) due to its high transparency and low sheet resistance. However, ITO thin films have some drawbacks. They are expensive, difficult to deposit, poorly compatible with flexible substrates. Hence, better alternatives for transparent conductors are being studied. Recently, metal nanowires have received a lot of attention due to their unique physical, chemical and optical properties. Due to excellent properties of bulk silver, silver nanowires have been widely investigated. Recently, it was proved that silver nanowire networks provide a suitable path for charge transport and transmit incident visible light. In this thesis, silver nanowires were synthesized in a larger scale via modified polyol process. Afterwards, as synthesized silver nanowires in the form of networks were used to fabricate transparent and conducting electrodes. This was followed by the use of silver nanowire network based transparent and conducting electrodes were used as anodes in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Finally, ambient stability of silver nanowire networks and fabrication of NiO / Ag NWs nanocomposite electrodes were investigated

Development of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticle incorporated transparent conductive oxide thin films Yavaş, Hakan; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012) Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films have been used as transparent electrodes in many technological applications such as display panels, solar cells, touch screens and electrochromic devices. Commercial grade ITO thin films are usually deposited by sputtering. Solution-based coating methods, such as sol-gel however, can be simple and economic alternative method for obtaining oxide films and also ITO. In this thesis, “ITO sols” and “ITO nanoparticle-incorporated hybrid ITO coating sols” were prepared using indi...
Effective Use of Low Power Heterogeneous Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks for Surveillance Applications Using IEEE 802.15.4 Protocol Kenges, Nurdaulet; Ever, Enver; Yazıcı, Adnan (2021-01-01) With the recent technological advancements in video sensors, digital signal processing units and digital radio interfaces, low-cost devices such as Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) became an important part of surveillance applications. The scarcity of resources for these devices introduces new challenges in terms of energy consumption, and Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. One of the challenges is processing and transmission of large volumes of multimedia data. In this paper, the efficiency of...
Data Delivery in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks: Challenging and Defying in the IoT Era Al-Turjman, Fadi; Radwan, Ayman (2017-10-01) The vision of wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) nowadays is to afford real-time multimedia applications using the pervasive wireless sensors around us. This necessitates strict QoS conditions, which have led to new emerging challenges in terms of data delivery in the Internet of Things era. Accordingly, multipath routing protocols with multi-constraints are recommended in WMSNs. In this article, a comprehensive overview of both best effort and real-time multipath routing protocols for WMSNs is per...
How Web 2.0 tools can be integrated in early childhood education? Tunga, Yeliz; Aytekin, Merve; Kaplan, Göknur (null; 2018-05-04) Recently, considering the fact that technology use is inevitable for everyone due to increasing ease of access to technological devices such as mobile phones and tablet PCs along with the necessity of digital literacy in the 21st century; technology use in early childhood education is no longer a taboo. In fact, the question whether technology should be used in early childhood education classrooms has shifted to how it can be used in a more developmentally appropriate way in these classrooms. However, the c...
AntiWare: An Automated Android Malware Detection Tool based on Machine Learning Approach and Official Market Metadata Akhuseyinoglu, Nuray Baltaci; Akhuseyinoglu, Kamil (2016-10-22) The prevalence of mobile devices has increased rapidly in recent years. People store valuable data like personal and financial information on those devices. In addition, applying "bring your own device (BYOD)" policy in companies has become popular. Hence, mobile devices are also source of valuable and confidential company information. Accordingly, there is a growing need for malware detection methods and tools to protection mobile devices against attacks targeting them. In this study, an automated feature-...
