Diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma from pleural fluid by Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics
Abbas, Sherif; Ozek, Nihal Simsek; Emri, Salih; KÖKSAL, DENİZ; Severcan, Mete; Severcan, Feride (2018-10-01)
This study was conducted to differentiate malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) from lung cancer (LC) and benign pleural effusion (BPE) from pleural fluids using the diagnostic power of Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance mode coupled with chemometrics. Infrared spectra of MPM (n = 24), LC (n = 20), and BPE (n = 25) were collected, and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to their spectra. HCA results indicated that MPM ...
Detection and segmentation of mitochondria from electron microscope tomography images
Taşel, Faris Serdar; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Hassanpour, Reza Zare; Department of Medical Informatics (2016)
Recent studies exhibit that mitochondria have a significant role in cellular functions that are associated to the diseases of aging caused by neuron degeneration. These studies accentuate that the peripheral membrane and crista morphology of a mitochondrion deserves attention in order to reveal the relation between mitochondrial function and its physical structure. The analysis of the inner structures of mitochondria is carried out by electron microscope tomography (EMT) which provides detailed visualizatio...
CHARACTERIZATION OF GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER INTERACTIONS USING THERMAL REMOTE SENSING AND IN-STREAM MEASUREMENTS
Yılmaz, Koray Kamil(2015-12-31)
Surface water and groundwater interact in a dynamic and complex way in variety of hydrologic settings. Hence identification and quantification of exchange processes between surface water and groundwater is essential for developing sustainable water resources management plans, understanding dominant hydrologic processes and identifying geological controls. The objective of this study is to integrate high resolution maps of airborne remotely sensed stream surface temperature measurements with a set of in-stre...
Determination of water samples by electrothermal atomic absoption spectrometry
Şimşek, Nail Engin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2012)
Boron (B) is a rare element on Earth crust with a natural abundance of 0.001%. However, boron content of water and soils may be significantly high in the regions with rich boron reserves. In addition, extensive use of agrochemicals in soils as well as various natural processes increases the boron concentration in water. Despite B is an essential element for all living creatures, it may pose risks at high level exposures. World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended a daily intake of 1 to 13 mg B for adul...
Determination of narcotic and psychotropic substances by using infrared spectroscopy
Baran, Özlem; Ataman, Osman Yavuz; Department of Chemistry (2005)
The flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO; E.C.1.14.13.8) are microsomal NADPH and oxygen-dependent flavoprotein enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a wide variety of xenobiotics, including drugs and environmental toxicants. Nucleophiles containing nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus and selenium heteroatoms are the substrates of FMO. Bovine liver microsomal FMO enzyme activity was characterized using methimazole as substrate, which is a highly specific substrate for FMO. From 12 different bovine liver samples,...
