Biocides have been in use for hundreds of years for antisepsis, disinfection and preservation. Despite this widespread and ever increasing use most bacterial and fungal species remain susceptible to biocides. The dramatic increase and spread of resistance to antibiotics linked to reports of co- and cross-resistance between antibiotics and biocides raised speculations on potential hazard of biocide use. The overarching question which BIOHYPO is aimed to address is: has the use of biocides contributed to the development and spread of clinically significant antibiotic resistance in human pathogens? Core of BIOHYPO are a high throughput screening approach on collections of thousands of well characterized microorganisms and an interactive web based data analysis platform. Phenotypic screening for reduced susceptibility to biocides, detection of novel resistance genes and mobile elements, and screening for their molecular epidemiology and metagenomics will be accompanied by methodological innovation for testing, risk evaluation and registration of biocides. Altogether BIOHYPO aims to provide solid data and analysis to direct future issuing of guidelines for safe environmental, medical and industrial use of biocides.

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF HERITAGE-LED URBAN REGENERATION PROJECTS ON THE HISTORIC CITY CENTER OF ANTAKYA
Nemati, Parnian; Aykaç Leıdholm, Pınar; Rifaioğlu, Mert Nezih; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2022-12-13)
The worldwide phenomenon of heritage-led regeneration has been considered a panacea for dilapidated historic urban tissues to regenerate them through their cultural heritage. However, the promotion of the heritage through development plans and projects affects the physical and social aspects of historic urban tissues substantially. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the precise impacts of heritage-led regeneration due to its extensive effects on historic cities and residents. Antakya, or ancient Antioch, ...
Evaluation of high pressure pretreatment for enhancing the drying rates of carrot, apple, and green bean
YÜCEL, UMUT; Alpas, Hami; Bayındırlı, Alev (2010-05-01)
Preservation of fresh produce by drying dates back to ancient times and is still an indispensible technique. Conventional drying Of fruits and vegetables is often accompanied by changes in color, texture, and taste. Suitable pretreatments can improve the drying process by reducing the drying time, yielding higher-quality products, and energy savings. In this Study, two varieties of apples, Amasya and red delicious, green beans and carrots were pretreated with high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) at different pre...
Theoretical and practical aspects of compaction grouting
Tuncdemir, Fatih (2007-01-01)
Although not applied in Turkey, compaction grouting has been used widely in many parts of the world and especially in the USA in foundation engineering for reducing the void ratio of soils, relevelling of settled buildings, underpinning of footings and slabs, controlling settlements, and for mitigation of liquefaction potential of the soils in the last 10 to 15 years. In this study, a theoretical approach regarding compaction grouting has been presented, injection parameters and theological properties of th...
The use of asbestos as a construction material in public buildings: a case study
Dündar-Mustafa, Deniz; Toksoy Köksal, Fatma; Department of Occupational Health and Safety (2020)
Since the beginning of the 20th century, asbestos minerals due to its physical and chemical properties were used in many industrial areas, especially construction. Despite its common preference in industry, carcinogenic effects of asbestos on health were identified. Therefore, use of asbestos minerals was forbidden worldwide. Nevertheless, at present, the negative health effects become a significant issue because of urban transformation projects, even in Turkey. The main objective of this study is to assess...
Defining Conservation Principles for the brewery of Ataturk Forest Farm
Sürmelihindi, Ozan; Özgönül, Nimet; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2013)
The subject of the conservation and preservation of industrial heritage was started to be handled starting from the middle of 20th Century in Europe. As in Turkey, industrial heritage concept is a subject which is in agenda in last years. Awareness about the subject increased with the help of social movements starting especially with the demolition of Ankara Maltepe Gas and Electric Factory. The Brewery of Ataturk Forest Farm should also be handled not to share the same fate with this example which was witn...
