Receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) is a marker of alveolar type I cells and is elevated in the pulmonary edema fluid of patients with acute lung injury (ALI). We tested the hypothesis that RAGE in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) would be elevated in experimental models of direct ALI characterized by alveolar epithelial cell injury. We developed ELISA measurements for RAGE and ...

INTRODUCTION Acute lung injury (ALI) can result from various insults to the pulmonary tissue. Experimental and clinical data suggest that spontaneous breathing (SB) during pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) in ALI results in better lung aeration and improved oxygenation. Our objective was to evaluate whether the addition of SB has different effects in two different models of ALI. METHODS F...

Broad research interests and related applications: My research is in the area of stochastic systems, computational methods for sensing, estimation, and control problems, with a focus on robotic systems. In real-world systems, uncertainty (both in the system model and sensory readings) is omnipresent. A few of the vast set of applications for this research include (i) Motion planning for mobile ...

Our purpose in this chapter is to account for coherence relations within the Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) framework. But before doing so, we shall first give an overview of previous work on coherence and coherence relations. There is no consensus on what coherence means, but the most widely held view is that it explains how hearers and readers construct relationships among the units in an...

Context is a central concept in the analysis of discourse and interaction in all the major research traditions in applied and sociolinguistics. Early linguistics did not display much sensitivity to it (Scollon, 1998, p. 80) and tended to study utterances in isolation and without reference to context. Today, however, there seems to be a general consensus around the idea that we understand uttera...

Modern Türk Edebiyatının Batılı minvalde gelişip ciddi atılımlar yaptığı evre olan Cumhuriyet Dönemi edebiyatı, farklı sanat anlayışlarının değişik türler üzerinden başarıyla uygulandığı bir süreçtir. 1950’li yıllarda şiir türünde I. Yenicilerin benimsediği sürrealist estetik, 1970’lerde Oğuz Atay’la başlayıp Orhan Pamuk, Hasan Ali Toptaş gibi isimlerle günümüze dek devam eden postmodernist tav...

Köy eğitimi anlayışı, ilk olarak II. Mahmut Dönemi’nde gündeme gelmiştir. Tanzimat ile birlikte gelişen bu anlayış, Abdülhamit ve Meşrutiyet dönemlerinde uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. Atatürk döneminde hızla geliştirilerek, Muallim Mektepleri, Eğitmen Kursları Öğretmen Okullarının kurulması, Enstitülerinin laboratuvarını oluşturmuştur. 1940 yılına kadar elde edilmiş olan tecrübe kazanımlarla, kırsa...
