    The Influence of Plastic Deformation Mechanisms on the Adhesion Behavior and Collagen Formation in Osteoblast Cells
    (Springer International Publishing, 2018) Uzer, B.; Monte, Felipe Alves Do; Awad, Kamal R.; Aswath, Pranesh; Varanasi, Venu Gopal; Canadinc, Demircan
    In many of biomedical applications, the implant might get in direct contact with the bone tissue where the osteogenesis needs to be stimulated. If osteoblasts can not successfully attach on the implant surface, the bone might resorb and implant can fail. In the current study MC3T3 cells were cultured on the 316L stainless steel samples which were deformed up to four different strain levels (5, 15, 25 and 35%) to activate plastic deformation mechanisms (slip and twinning) in different volume fractions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that cells adhered and spread significantly on the 25 and 35% deformed samples owing to the greater surface roughness and energy provided by the increased density of micro-deformation mechanisms which promoted the formation of focal contacts. In addition, significant amount of collagen formation was observed on the sample deformed up to 25% of strain which can be due to the ideal match of the surface roughness and collagen molecules. Overall these results show that material’s microstructure can be manipulated through plastic deformation mechanisms in order to enhance the cell response and collagen deposition. As a result long lasting implants could be obtained which would eliminate additional surgical interventions and provide a successful treatment. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    The Digitized Shoulder: From Preoperative Planning to Patient-Specific Guides
    (Springer International Publishing, 2022) Mohammad Sadeghi, Majid; Kapicioǧlu, Mehmet; Kececi, Emin Faruk; Bilsel, Kerem; Sadeghi, Majid Mohammad
    As the information and computer technologies improve, it can change how the shoulder surgeries and treatments are done. Digitalization of the shoulder joint acquired via MR and CT (1) shows the surgeons the pathology in a more easily understandable way, (2) generates models for preoperative planning, and (3) uses special software to generate patient-specific instruments. Digitalization of the shoulder will make the shoulder disorder’s treatment easier and more accurate in the future. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Future of Clean Cooking Energy Access in Emerging Economies by 2030
    (Springer International Publishing, 2025-03-07) Çakır, Mehmet Ali; Ünlü, Ramazan; Çakir, Sümeyra Çay; Xanthopoulos, Petros
    This study assesses the future of clean energy and technology access for cooking in emerging economic blocs—BRICS, MINT, ASEAN, and MENA—through 2030. Cooking contributes 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with over half of household emissions coming from cooking. Therefore, clean cooking energy is critical for sustainability and human health. The study aims to evaluate the likelihood of achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal of universal clean cooking energy access by 2030 and the 2050 net-zero emissions target. Machine learning techniques, such as support vector regression, gradient boosting, and linear regression, alongside an ensemble approach, provide forecasts for these regions. The findings show a varied outlook. Within ASEAN, two countries are expected to reach 100% clean energy access for cooking by 2030, while two are likely to experience a decline. The MENA region shows stronger progress, with eight countries expected to meet the 2030 target. Among BRICS countries, only India is projected to reach full accessibility, while Russia faces a decline. The MINT countries face challenges, with none expected to meet the target, and Nigeria is projected to experience a decrease in clean energy access. The study concludes that the current trajectory makes achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the 2050 net-zero emissions target unlikely for these regions. Policymakers must reassess their strategies and learn from successful countries to improve outcomes. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Energy Simulation Optimization for Building Insulation Materials
    (Springer International Publishing, 2023) Himmetoğlu, Salih; Delice, Yılmaz; Kızılkaya Aydoğan, Emel Kizilkaya; Uzal, Burak; Aydoğan, Emel Kızılkaya
    Recently increased energy consumption and carbon emissions caused by energy consumption have mobilized governments. Energy-efficient building designs have become one of the most fundamental strategies preferred by governments. The heating and cooling demands have an important share in energy consumption in buildings. Therefore, thermal insulation systems have become the basic building elements to design energy-efficient buildings. Determining suitable thermal insulation strategies for energy-efficient structures built in different climates is an important decision problem for designers. This study aims to select insulation material and insulation thickness for energy-efficient building design. The stone wool, extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation materials, and their alternative thicknesses are considered for Turkey’s two different climate zones. The Energy Plus and Design Builder energy simulation programs are used to analyze all alternatives. A decision support system is generated by considering both the material cost and the heating and cooling energies to be consumed during the building life cycle. The most suitable insulation material for the first zone is stone wool, and its thickness is 10 cm. The most suitable insulation material for the second zone is stone wool, and its thickness is 10 cm. The total saving is 11% for the building in the first zone. The total saving is 9% for the building in the second zone. The generated designs have been quite stimulating for decision-makers. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Design of Bio-Joint Shaped Knee Exoskeleton Assisting for Walking and Sit-to
    (Springer International Publishing, 2018-10-14) Kapci, Mehmet Fazil; Unal, Ramazan
    In this study, a bio-joint shaped knee joint exoskeleton is presented. This design is meant for avoiding misalignment of the exoskeleton joint with the biological knee joint. For this purpose a cam mechanism has been designed to prevent the misalignment from translation of the femur on tibia. Additionally, walking and sit-to-stance is passively assisted with a spring element that is activated with the heel contact. A single spring is used for both walking and sit-to-stance, due to the similar characteristics of the gait cycle and initial phases of the sit-to-stance in joint stiffness. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    ANT-M: Design of Passive Lower-Limb Exoskeleton for Weight-Bearing Assistance in Industry
    (Springer International Publishing, 2018-10-14) Guncan, Berkay; Unal, Ramazan
    This study describes the optimized design of a passive lower limb exoskeleton for workers in the industry. The exoskeleton is aimed at helping workers who carry heavy loads, by supporting their posture and reducing stress in their knees which would prevent future injuries. However, most of the previous passive designs are insufficient in a way that they are bulky. Therefore, this study is focused on achieving lightweight passive exoskeleton. Topology optimization has been carried out to reach this goal. The results are validated using finite elements methods, in ANSYS environment. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
