The terahertz region offers a multitude of possibilities for new diagnostic techniques in biology. Recent advancements in terahertz sources and detectors have allowed such systems to be employed in investigations of biological tissues. The main interaction with such media is evident in the water content, which can be detrimental in certain instances such as deep tissue diagnostics and also be beneficial in others such as the detection of certain types of cancers. The field has developed to deal with such challenges, and the improvement in overall signal to noise of especially pulsed diagnostic methods has led to the achievement of penetration depths on the order of millimeters, which has opened up a variety of new investigations. These investigations are described with special emphasis on diagnostics on hard tissues such as teeth.

Terahertz Propagation in Tissues and Its Thickness Limitation Karagöz, Burcu; Altan, Hakan (Jenny Stanford Publishing, 2017-01-01) The terahertz (THz) region offers a multitude of possibilities for new diagnostic techniques in biology. Advancements in terahertz sources and detectors have allowed such systems to be employed in investigations of biological tissues. Despite the limited science and technology compared to the neighboring spectral bands, there has been an increasing interest in THz radiation due to the many interesting biological phenomena that can be investigated in this frequency range—typically accepted to be from 0.1 to ...
Applications of the multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for development of molecular therapies for breast cancer Aşık, Elif; Güray, Tülin; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Biotechnology (2015) The understanding of how magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) interact with living system is one of the prerequisite pieces of information needed to be obtained before any further development for desired biomedical applications. In this study, Cobalt Ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (CoFe-MNPs) in their naked and silica-coated forms were characterized. In vitro cell culture for their likely cytotoxicity and genotoxicity potential were examined. The apoptosis, lipid peroxidation, ROS formation and oxidative stress re...
Investigation of fracture behavior of steel/steel laminates Şimşir, Mehmet; Öztürk, Tayfur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004) A study is carried out into fracture behavior of steel/steel laminates both experimentally and through finite element analysis (FEM). The laminates produced by hot pressing consisted of low carbon and medium carbon steels with two volume fractions; 0.41 and 0.81. Fracture toughness, JIC has been measured using partial unloading technique assuming a critical value of crack extension. The technique is initially applied to monolithic material and then to the laminates in crack divider orientation. Evaluation o...
Multi-view subcellular localization prediction of human proteins Özsarı, Gökhan; Atalay, M. Volkan.; Department of Computer Engineering (2019) Determining the subcellular localization of proteins is crucial for Understanding the functions of proteins, drug targeting, systems biology, and proteomics research. Experimental validation of subcellular localization is an expensive and challenging process. There exist several computational methods for automated prediction of protein subcellular localization; however, there is still room for better performance. Here, we propose a multi-view SVM-based approach that provides predictions for human proteins. ...
Exciton simulations of the optical properties of several photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes İşeri, Erkut İnan; Gülen, Demet; Department of Physics (2004) The work presented in this thesis was aimed to investigate the structure-function relationship of several photosynthetic Light-Harvesting Complexes (LHCs) including Chlorophyll Protein 29 (CP29) and Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHCII) of green plants, and Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex of green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum. Based on the exciton calculations, a model was proposed to the electronic excited states (EES) of both CP29 and LHCII complexes by incorporating a considerable part of the cur...
