The problem‐solving method with handout material is an instructional method, which includes handout material prepared by taking Polya's problem‐solving stages. The handout material consists of a short review of the theorems related to max‐min word problems, general procedure for solving max‐min word problems, comprehension guides, and problems with unfinished solution steps. The purpose is to assist students in seeing uses and applications of max‐min principles in real life, and to improve reading comprehension and problem‐solving skills.

Fatigue crack growth analysis models for functionally graded materials
Dağ, Serkan; YILDIRIM, BORA (2006-10-18)
The objective of this study is to develop crack growth analysis methods for functionally graded materials (FGMs) subjected to mode I cyclic loading. The study presents finite elements based computational procedures for both two and three dimensional problems to examine fatigue crack growth in functionally graded materials. Developed methods allow the computation of crack length and generation of crack front profile for a graded medium subjected to fluctuating stresses. The results presented for an elliptica...
Surface modified multi-functional PCL/TCP fibrous scaffolds
Malikmammadov, Elbay; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2016-05-17)
Porous and fibrous scaffolds prepared using various methods are essential components of tissue engineering. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), due to its biocompatibility and mechanical properties, is one of the most desirable polymers in scaffold preparation for bone tissue engineering applications, and there are many studies on modification of PCL to enhance its biocompatibility. In this study, porous and fibrous scaffolds of PCL containing TCP were prepared by wet spinning and gelatin was immobilized onto it to...
Fatigue crack growth analysis models for funcionally graded materials
Sabuncuoğlu, Barış; Dağ, Serkan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006)
The objective of this study is to develop crack growth analysis methods for functionally graded materials under mode I cyclic loading by using finite element technique. The study starts with the analysis of test specimens which are given in ASTM standard E399. The material properties of specimens are assumed to be changing along the thickness direction according to a presumed variation function used for the modeling of functionally graded materials. The results of the study reveal the influence of different...
Reward Shaping for Efficient Exploration and Acceleration of Learning in Reinforcement Learning
Bal, Melis İlayda; İyigün, Cem; Polat, Faruk; Department of Operational Research (2022-7-21)
In a Reinforcement Learning task, a learning agent needs to extract useful information about its uncertain environment in an efficient way during the interaction process to successfully complete the task. Through strategic exploration, the agent acquires sufficient information to adjust its behavior to act intelligently as it interacts with the environment. Therefore, efficient exploration plays a key role in the learning efficiency of Reinforcement Learning tasks. Due to the delayed-feedback nature of Rein...
Implementation of self-regulatory instruction based on guided inquiry approach to promote students’ achievement in solubility equilibrium and acids and bases, motivation, and learning strategies /
Kadıoğlu, Cansel; Kondakçı, Esen; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014)
The current study explored how the self-regulatory instruction (SRI) based on guided inquiry approach affect 11th grade students’ achievement in Solubility Equilibrium and Acids and Bases, motivation, and learning strategies compared to traditionally-designed chemistry instruction. In addition, the self-regulatory processes in which students engaged and the development of these processes over the course of the study were examined. Eleven dependent variables related to the three dimensions of SRL (motivation...
