Background. Radiological changes and degeneration of the cervical spine have been previously described in soccer players. The onset of such changes was 10-20 years earlier than that of the normal population. The aim of this study was to assess these early degenerative changes in amateur active and veteran soccer players in a cross-sectional descriptive study using biomechanical, radiological, and magnetic resonance measures.

Decolourization and removal of some organic compounds from olive mill wastewater by advanced oxidation processes and lime treatment
Ugurlu, Mehmet; Kula, Ibrahim (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-07-01)
Background. Olive mill wastewater (OMW) generated by the olive oil extracting industry is a major pollutant, because of its high organic load and phytotoxic and antibacterial phenolic compounds which resist biological degradation. Mediterranean countries are mostly affected by this serious environmental problem since they are responsible for 95% of the worldwide olive-oil production. There are many methods used for OMW treatment, such as adsorption, electro coagulation, electro-oxidation, biological degrada...
Do-it-yourself but do it together: Interdisciplinary Design Studio
Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur (2016-08-30)
Background. This study explores design process in a collaborative educational setting. Design Factory @METU is an interdisciplinary research and education center whose primary objective is providing space and equipment infrastructure required for design projects that are conducted in teams. Interdisciplinary student teams (engineering, design, architecture, and business students, 42 in total) were given a theme –emergency– and asked to develop an artefact addressing it using the DF spaces and tools. T...

Investigation of the relationship between strength and dynamic balance performance in elite wrestlers
Talici, Ali; Unlu, Gurcan; Cakmakci, Evrim; Carmakci, Oktay (2021-01-01)
Background. Wrestlers rely heavily on the abilities of strength and balance to ensure success. Although previous studies have investigated the effects of different training methods on the athletic performance of strength and balance, there are a limited number of studies aimed at examining the relationship between these two performances.
Assessing the validity of a statistical distribution: some illustrative examples from dermatological research
Sürücü, Barış (Wiley, 2008-05-01)
Background. Assuming a statistical distribution is one of the key points before conducting a statistical analysis. Goodness-of-fit tests are used to assess the validity of an assumed statistical distribution. In dermatological research, the goodness-of-fit tests used are less powerful.
