We analyze broadband near-infrared spectroscopic measurements obtained from newborn piglets subjected to hypoxia-ischemia and we aim to identify optimal wavelength combinations for monitoring cerebral tissue chromophores. We implement an optimization routine based on the genetic algorithm to perform a heuristic search for discrete wavelength combinations that can provide accurate concentration information when benchmarked against the gold standard of 121 wavelengths. The results indicate that it is possible to significantly reduce the number of measurement wavelengths used in conjunction with spectroscopic algorithms and still achieve a high performance in estimating changes in concentrations of oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, and oxidized cytochrome c oxidase. While the use of a 3-wavelength combination leads to mean recovery errors of up to 10%, these errors drop to less than 4% with 4 or 5 wavelengths and to even less than 2% with 8 wavelengths.

Robust background normalization method for one-channel microarrays
AKAL, TÜLAY; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017-04-01)
Background: Microarray technology, aims to measure the amount of changes in transcripted messages for each gene by RNA via quantifying the colour intensity on the arrays. But due to the different experimental conditions, these measurements can include both systematic and random erroneous signals. For this reason, we present a novel gene expression index, called multi-RGX (Multiple-probe Robust Gene Expression Index) for one-channel microarrays.
Automatic segmentation of human facial tissue by MRI-CT fusion: A feasibility study
Kale, Emre H.; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; HAMCAN, Salih (2012-12-01)
The aim of this study was to develop automatic image segmentation methods to segment human facial tissue which contains very thin anatomic structures. The segmentation output can be used to construct a more realistic human face model for a variety of purposes like surgery planning, patient specific prosthesis design and facial expression simulation. Segmentation methods developed were based on Bayesian and Level Set frameworks, which were applied on three image types: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), compu...

Objectives: To compare measurements obtained by micro-CT with those obtained by confocal laser scanning microscope in simulative internal resorption cavities.
Nonlinear viscoelastic material property estimation of lower extremity residual limb tissues
Tönük, Ergin (ASME International, 2004-04-01)
Axisymmetric nonlinear finite-element analysis was used to simulate force-relaxation and creep data obtained during in vivo indentation of the residual limb sofa tissues of six individuals with trans-tibial amputation [1]. The finite-element models facilitated estimation of an appropriate set of nonlinear viscoelastic material coefficients of extended James-Green-Simpson material formulation for bulk soft tissue at discrete, clinically relevant test locations. The results indicate that over 90% of the exper...
Development of PCR methods for detection and quantification of genetically modified maize
Jabbari Farhoud, Houman; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2010)
This study describes development of methods for screening, identification and quantification of genetic modifications in maize samples. Totally 88 maize samples were collected randomly throughout Turkey in three years from 2006 to 2008 and were analyzed. Two maize samples that were detected as GM positive in previous studies were selected as positive controls. Following the DNA extraction by manual CTAB method, conventional PCR methods were employed for screening of genetic modifications in samples by detec...
