Two major requirements for a tissue-engineered vessel are the establishment of a continuous endothelium and adequate mechanical properties. In this study, a novel tubular collagen scaffold possessing nanopatterns in the form of channels (with a 650 nm periodicity) on both sides was designed and examined after seeding and co-culturing with vascular cells. Initially, the exterior of the tube was seeded with human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), cultured for 14 days, and then human internal thoracic artery endothelial cells (HITAECs) were seeded on the inside of the tube and cultured for a further week. Microscopy revealed that nano-scale patterns could be reproduced on collagen with high fidelity and preserved during incubation in vitro. The VSMCs were circumferentially orientated with the help of these nanopatterns and formed multilayers on the exterior, while HITAECs formed a continuous layer on the interior, as is the case in natural vessels. Both cell types were observed to proliferate and retain their phenotypes in the co-culture. Copyright (C) 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Evaluation of air void parameters of fly ash incorporated self consolidating concrete by image processing Özerkan, Nesibe Gözde; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Self consolidating concrete (SCC) is defined as an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction and it is able to flow under its own weight, completely filling formwork and achieving full compaction. Although significant amount of research has been carried out regarding the fresh properties, mix design, placing methods and strength of various SCC mixes, only a very limited amount of work has been done to assess the durability performance of SCC. Concretes in cold climates a...
Analysis of earthquake loading, wind loading and ice loading effects on guyed masts Yapar, Özgür; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Guyed masts are special type of structures that are widely used in the telecommunication industry. In the past, there was no guideline for seismic design of these types of structures in the corresponding design codes. On the other hand, in the latest “G” revision of the ANSI/TIA-EIA code there is a comprehensive design criterion for the seismic design of the guyed masts. However, during the design process of these structures the most common approach is to ignore the effect of seismic loading and use only th...
An investigation of the inertial interaction of building structures on shallow foundations with simplified soil-structure interaction analysis methods Eyce, Bora; Bakır, Bahadır Sadık; Department of Civil Engineering (2009) Seismic response of a structure is influenced by the inertial interaction between structure and deformable medium, on which the structure rests, due to flexibility and energy dissipation capability of the surrounding soil. The inertial interaction analyses can be performed by utilizing simplified soil-structure interaction (SSI) analyses methods. In literature, it is noted that varying soil conditions and foundation types can be modeled by using these SSI approaches with springdashpot couples having certain...
Real-time imaging of vortex-antivortex annihilation in Bi2Sr2CaCU2O8+delta single crystals by low temperature scanning hall probe microscopy Dede, M; Oral, Ahmet; Yamamoto, T; Kadowaki, K; Shtrikman, H (2006-03-01) Vortices in superconductors play an important role in operating limits and applications of the superconductors. Scanning Hall probe microscopes have proven themselves to be quantitative and non-invasive tools for investigating magnetic samples down to 50 nm scale. Penetration of vortices in high quality single crystal Bi2Sr2CaCu1O8+delta superconductor has been studied in real-time with single vortex resolution at 77 K using a low temperature scanning Hall probe microscope (LT-SHPM). Vortices have been obse...
Design of fiber-reinforced composite pressure vessels under various loading conditions Levend, P; Katirci, N (Elsevier BV, 2002-10-01) An analytical procedure is developed to design and predict the behavior of fiber reinforced composite pressure vessels. The classical lamination theory and generalized plane strain model is used in the formulation of the elasticity problem. Internal pressure, axial force and body force due to rotation in addition to temperature and moisture variation throughout the body are considered. Some 3D failure theories are applied to obtain the optimum values for the winding angle, burst pressure, maximum axial forc...
