Unit operations laboratory (UOL) course is considered to be a crucial and integral part of the chemical engineering education. The primary objective of the course is to enable students to combine theory and practice. Problems in industry however entail more than finding technical solutions. Indeed professional life requires other skills such as an ability to propose ideas, develop practical solutions, participate in teamwork, meet deadlines, establish communication between technical support and suppliers, oversee financial issues, and finally reporting and presentation skills. This study describes how in three consecutive courses, w . . .e preserve academic rigor of the UOL course while incorporating components such as experimental design, project development and teamwork, which aim to meet the needs of professional careers. We follow up the course outcomes with a survey targeting the graduates of the program. The results show that graduates employed in industry frequently rely on these skills during job interviews, research and product development, whereas those who pursue advanced degrees in academia use these skills predominantly for their research, highlighting the need for adaptive approach for different graduate trajectories in designing the course. For both groups of graduates, the skills introduced during the UOL courses are reported to be valuable in their daily life, emphasizing life-long learning Daha fazlası Daha az

Computer-assisted robotic systems have shown that robots can improve the precision and accuracy of the surgery which in turn leads to better long-term outcomes. An orthopedic robotic system called OrthoRoby and a control architecture that will be used in bone cutting operations are developed. Real-time experiments are performed to evaluate the OrthoRoby robotic system on bone cadaver. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

In recent years, robot-assisted rehabilitation systems have been an active research area that can quantitatively monitor and adapt to patient progress, and ensure consistency during rehabilitation. In this work, an exoskeleton type robot-assisted rehabilitation system called RehabRoby is developed. A control architecture, which contains a high level controller and a low level controller, is designed for RehabRoby. Proprioceptive sense of healthy subjects has been evaluated during the execution of a task with RehabRoby. Additionally, usability of RehabRoby has been evaluated using a questionnaire. © 2011 IEEE.

In this work, an exoskeleton type robot-assisted rehabilitation system called RehabRoby is developed for rehabilitation purposes. A control architecture, which contains a high-level controller and a low-level controller, is designed for RehabRoby to complete the rehabilitation task in a desired and safe manner. A hybrid system modeling technique is used for high-level controller. An admittance control with inner robust position control loop has been used for the low-level control of RehabRoby. Real-time experiments are performed to evaluate the control architecture of the robot-assisted rehabilitation system RehabRoby. © 2011 Spring . . .er-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg Daha fazlası Daha az

In this work we deal with the Multi-vehicle One-to-one Pickup and Delivery Problem with Split Loads (MPDPSL). This problem is a generalization of the one-to-one Pickup and Delivery Problem (PDP) where each load can be served by multiple stops by the same vehicle. In practice split deliveries is a viable option in many settings such as courier services of third party logistics operators. We propose a branch-and-cut algorithm which employs valid inequalities devised for special cases of the MPDPSL, such as the Dial-a-Ride Problem, PDP and Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem. According to our computational experiments with randomly . . .generated test instances, we may claim that the proposed algorithm can be used for small sized instances. © 2011 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az

Transcription factors (TFs) are the proteins which regulates the expression of their target genes either in a positive or negative manner. TFs realize this task by binding to a specific DNA sequence contained in promoter regions, via their DNA binding motifs. Among ETS family TFs, Pea3 proteins are involved in the regulation of expression of genes, which are important for cell growth, development, differentiation, oncogenic transformation and apoptosis. In silico studies should be done to find out the novel target genes for this TF. Even though a few bioinformatics tools are available for this purpose, the user needs to go back and . . .forth between different tools, and to repeat these steps for each of their candidate gene. Here we combined these tools and constituted a new tool which examines the affinity of any TF towards the selected target genes' promoter sequences. The tool is tested on several genes, which are predicted to be regulated by Pea3 TF. © 2011 IEEE Daha fazlası Daha az
