A set of chitosan-polyvinylpyrrolidone (CH-PVP) microspheres were prepared as semi-inter penetrating networks (semi-IPN) and loaded with 5-fluorouracil. In vitro release studies showed faster release for semi-IPN microspheres compared to pure CH samples, and the total release was achieved in about 20-30 days, depending on the composition. In vitro cell studies were achieved against human breast adenocarcinoma cell line cells where adsorption of cells on microspheres with a significant decrease in their number was obtained. Meanwhile, the CH-PVP films, which were prepared with the same compositions as in the microspheres, demonstrated an increase in strength from 66 to 118 MPa as the PVP content was decreased. It can be concluded that the prepared CH-PVP semi-IPN microspheres are novel promising carriers compared to pure CH microspheres since it becomes possible to adjust stability and hydrophilicity of the microspheres as well as the release rates of the drugs from the microspheres by changing the ratio of CH/PVP composition.

Dual-band InGaAs nBn photodetectors at 2 mu m Şahin, Alper; Gül, Musa Selim; Uzgur, Fatih; Kocaman, Serdar (2022-02-01) An nBn type InGaAs photodetector structure operating at 2 mu m with dual-band operation capability has been numerically designed and experimentally characterized. A compositionally graded and unintentionally doped InGaAlAs layer with a delta-doped nano-layer behaves as the barrier for majority carrier flow. The pixels fabricated with a 20 mu m pitch mesa process yielded peak quantum efficiencies of 67% and 53% without anti-reflective coating for the e-SWIR and SWIR sides, respectively. Dark current measurem...
Relay-Assisted Beamforming for Multicast Systems with Energy Harvesting Capability Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2016-05-19) In this paper, multi-group multicasting scenario is considered where single antenna sources transmit their own information to different groups of users with the help of single antenna relays. Users have energy harvesting capability, i.e., a part of the received signal is used for information decoding while the rest is used for energy harvesting. Beamforming is performed by the relays which use amplify-and-forward protocol. The design of complex relay coefficients and power splitting ratios for the users is ...
Antenna array feed network topology determination with frequency bandwidth considerations Demir, Şimşek (2003-09-01) Frequency bandwidths of feed network topologies are discussed. Focus is on the impedance match and comments are for phase distribution. Analysis indicates an optimum sub array size for wideband operation of the feed structure when there are practical limitations on realizable characteristic impedances.
Quasi-static solutions of elliptical, cylindrical-coupled parallel coplanar waveguide, and coupled parallel coplanar waveguide with finite ground planes Duyar, Mehmet; Akan, Volkan; Yazgan, Erdem; Bayrak, Mehmet (Wiley, 2007-07-01) This article presents the quasi-static analyses of elliptical-coupled parallel coplanar waveguide (ECP CPW), cylindrical-coupled parallel coplanar waveguide (CCP CPW), and coupled parallel coplanar waveguide (CP CPW) with finite ground planes. Conformal-mappi ng techniques have been used through the analyses. The obtained results show good agreement with IE3D electromagnetic-circuit solver software's simulations for the planar case. In addition, the results have been compared with others available in the li...
UKF based in-flight calibration of magnetometers and rate gyros for pico satellite attitude determination Söken, Halil Ersin (Wiley, 2012-05-01) In this paper an unscented Kalman filter based procedure for the bias estimation of both the magnetometers and the gyros carried onboard a pico satellite, is proposed. At the initial phase, biases of three orthogonally located magnetometers are estimated as well as the attitude and attitude rates of the satellite. During the initial period after the orbit injection, gyro measurements are accepted as bias free since the precise gyros are working accurately and the accumulated gyro biases are negligible. At t...
