CPS is a system consisting of cyber and physical layers, and communication layer between these layers. CPS which have a wide application area from industrial to medical, are generally used in large-scale and critical systems. Considering the systems they use, it is very important that the system operates correctly and consistently. Uncertainties are undesirable situations that pose a threat to the consistency of the system. To ensure consistency in CPS, the uncertainties that may arise in these systems are a matter should be addressed. Because CPS has more than one component and subcomponents, it has more uncertainty source than classical systems. As is known, fuzzy logic systems consist of clusters used to model uncertainties. Fuzzy logic systems proposed in type-1, type-2, or different types to model high-order uncertainties. Nonstationary fuzzy systems are also a fuzzy inference system used to reduce the computational complexity of type-2 fuzzy logic systems. In this study, a new approach is proposed to increase the effectiveness especially in CBS by adding random uncertainty to nonstationary fuzzy systems. The proposed approach first adds random uncertainties modeled by equations constructed by taking into account the characteristics of nonstationary fuzzy sets in CPS. Then the nonstationary fuzzy system structure is realized according to this uncertainty effect which is algorithmically combined. The results obtained in various scenarios for the approach verified by simulation studies demonstrate the effectiveness, sensitivity and performance of the proposed approach compared to the type-1, type-2 and nonstationary fuzzy systems.

Especially, in the liberalized energy markets, STLF is mandatory for distribution network utilities. If the forecast is underestimated or overestimated, it results in financial penalties in the energy markets. All system’s compensation must have been done according to the STLF results given by demand side to day-ahead market. If the imbalance occurs in the system due to large forecasting errors, the responsible side has to meet the imbalance penalty costs. The margin of error on the hourly demand forecasting should be kept low to minimize the imbalance costs of the system. In this study, we compare the most popular STLF methods, namely exponential smoothing, multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and recurrent neural network (RNN), on Turkish distribution grid in Istanbul’s hourly electricity consumption data of 2015. The forecasting models use historical load, temperature and calendar days as input. While thirty-nine weeks’ hourly data is selected as training data, thirteen weeks’ hourly data is used for analyzing the performance of the methods.

It is a crucial task for image processing applications. The solution of this task bases on the principles of the data-clustering problem. Data clustering is to separate the data according to the similarities or dissimilarities between the data objects. There are many popular dataclustering algorithms, such as K-means, Fuzzy C-means, and K-medoids, that rely on the global properties of the data and are iterative, i.e. the result of the clustering algorithms converge the best score gradually. The features of the data which will be used for dataclustering process is also important as much as the algorithm that is to be used. In color image segmentation, the color values of the pixels of the image are widely used as data features. The color values vary by different color space systems. We segmented some remote sensing images, which are taken by airborne sensors getting from ISPRS WG III/4 2D Semantic Labeling dataset, by using different data-clustering algorithms (K-means, Fuzzy C-means and K-medoids) and different color space systems (RGB, HSV and L*a*b*). In this paper, we show the accuracy rates of the algorithms for the color space systems.

In recent years, electric trains have been produced in the direction of developing technologies. Electric trains are comfortable, fast, reliable and environment friendly compared to other transport vehicles. It requires continuous checking of the rail line for the safety of railway transport. Failures in the railway can lead to larger failures if not diagnosed early. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously check the components constituting the railway line. In this study, an FPGA based method is proposed for rail surface detection in railway. The proposed method is realized by image processing with FPGA. The image is taken on the railway line with the camera attached to the FPGA development board. Pre-processing is performed on the obtained image. Edge extraction is applied to the image after pre-processing. The rail surface is detected using the image obtained as a result of edge extraction. The proposed method works in real time to monitor and diagnose faults. It detects many defects on the track surface. In this study, FPGA based condition monitoring device was developed. An architecture has been developed for implementing the proposed method with FPGA. This work using FPGA technology is low cost and fast compared to other methods. The proposed method is quite advantageous because of its real-time operation.

The considered plate-strip is constituted by compounding two discrete plate-strips side-byside. It is assumed that there is complete contact interaction at the interface plane between the layers. To investigate the concrete examples, the materials such as Aluminum and Steel are selected. The mathematical modeling of the problem under consideration is introduced, and the governing system of the partial differential equations of motion is numerically solved by employing Finite Element Method (FEM).

This can be attributed to the adverse effects of carbon-based resources on the environment and the existence of certain life-times. Wind energy, which has an important place in renewable energy resources, stands out in this scope and wind potential studies are realized. The more stable and higher the wind power in a region, the higher the energy potential of the investment. For this reason, the most important condition for investing in a region and on the spot is to determine the wind potential of that region. Due to the meteorological and geographic parameters affecting the wind power, determining the wind potential is a difficult and time consuming process. One of the common methods used to calculate this potential today is artificial neural network method. In this study, estimation of wind power was investigated by using ANN (Artificial Neural Network) method with short-period hourly data obtained from meteorological station at Osmaniye Korkut Ata University. The effect of the Artificial Neural Networks method was successfully demonstrated by comparing the estimated results of the tested place with the actual measured values as a statistic.

For this purpose, a system is designed in which the real time data exchange can be done both for hardware and software. The embedded system (Atmel 2560 Integrity) is used in the hardware section to achieve the target attainment and position control with the fuzzy controller. DC motor, servo motor, ultrasonic sensor, Bluetooth module and optical sensor are controlled using this system. In addition, the desktop software is designed using the microcontroller software as well as Visual Studio 2015 platform using c# language. The coordinates (x, y) and path information sent by Altu robot (The name of the robot designed for this study) on the designed track in real time are processed with the fuzzy controller. The obtained data is displayed with the desktop software, position information, and robot motion map of Altu robot. Applications using the fuzzy approach are also tested with the conventional control method and the results are compared. Thus, the fuzzy logic approach has proved that it can provide more precise control than the conventional approach.

The data mentioned here is user generated, therefore it shows their behaviour, requirements, demands from the first hand. Almost on every business or practical cases this is the common case. However analyzing and implementing such infrastructure comes with challenges and investments in terms of finance and time. Since this is a multi-disciplinary business area, the analysis of data could be applied by multiple different teams with different professionalism and educational backgrounds. On the other hand, the common practical part of these disciplines is the demand of flexible, cost effective and scalable tools and services so that their analysis can run without any glitch. This study states a set of applicable and battle tested infrastructures about big data analysis by always holding the following concepts in mind: cost effectivity, flexibility and being generic. Architectures mentioned here will be ‘serverless’ and data driven which does require the least operational effort to execute a big data pipeline. Future work will be automating and deploying the architecture in a couple of minutes in a scalable configuration.

The increase in wheat production cost is deflected to wheat-based production enterprises and then to consumers. Having an important position, especially in world flour exports, Turkey’s sustainable competitive advantage is of great importance for the country’s economy. Enterprises in the wheat sector are having difficulty accessing the quality wheat they want: they need a wheat-quality map. The preparation of a wheat quality map in Konya, the grain warehouse for Turkey, will help suppliers with supply chain arrangements, warehouse location selection, and transportation costs. Costs will be saved by managing resources properly. In this study, the Konya province Bread Wheat Quality Map was established for use in management of the wheat supply chain. Accordingly, bread wheat samples were collected from 3100 farmers in a range of production capacities in Konya province. Sample analysis was conducted using the NIR device by Ova Wheat Factory, Inc., which is among the top 500 industrial establishments in Turkey. The results of this analysis were processed in MapInfo Professional Release Build 16 Version 11.5 program; this created theKonya province Bread Wheat Quality Map.

Animal feed-producing enterprises face problems that include raw material costs, qualitystandard product production, and sustainability. Overcoming these problems will contribute greatly to both feed-producing and feed-consuming enterprises. At present, companies that produce feed must establish factories in different locations to be close to raw material resources or livestock firms. The common and effective use of these raw materials in the factories is important. This study proposes a mixed integer linear programming model to provide data to help solve these problems for the feed producers. The proposed model will be analyzed the by Hybrid Linear Binary PSO (H-LBP) and HLBD (Hybrid Linear Binary DSA) hybrid approaches, providing decision makers with alternative solutions that can support sustainability. By comparing the results generated by the proposed approaches, the differences between them will be revealed.

That explains the application of ethnography design, in a broad way, to solve the issues of the vaccination system for children in Africa. We have derived the “tattoo of Africa” concept from a design that reflects African cultural backgrounds and have linked it with the health service design process. Tattoos, which have been common in Africa for thousands of years, have been redefined as a new ritual for child health records. Our design is applied to two different artefacts: a baby guide book and a baby bracelet. We also describe our first prototype of the baby bracelet and its related App. The bracelet, which contains an NFC tag with information about the baby’s vaccinations, can be read from or written to any NFC-enabled Android smartphone via the visual interface of the related App. KEYWORDS - Ethnography Design Methods; Cultural Implications; Tattooing as a New Ritual; Child Health Record; Mobile App with NFCEthnography Design Methods; Cultural Implications; Tattooing as a New Ritual; Child Health Record; Mobile App with NFC Istanbul, Turkey, May 9-12, 2017 17 International Conference on Advanced Technology & Sciences (ICAT’17) A NEW APPROACH BASED ON IMAGE PROCESSING FOR MEASURING COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF STRUCTURES MEHMET BAYGIN1, SUAT GOKHAN OZKAYA1, MUHAMMET ALPEREN OZDEMIR2, ILKER KAZAZ3 1 Ardahan University, Turkey; 2 Igdir University, Turkey; 3 Erzurum Technical University, Turkey ABSTRACT The compressive strength factor in civil engineering is a very important parameter used to determine the performance of structures. The stability of structures can be tested with this parameter which is used to measure the performance of concrete under different loads. This parameter, which should be determined for the safety of the structures, is usually based on experimental analyses performed in the laboratory environment. In this study, a new approach to compressive strength measurement in civil engineering is proposed. With this approach, which is based on image processing, measurement of compressive strength parameter of concrete samples taken from structures is performed. For this purpose, images of concrete specimens with different strengths are taken and these images are divided into two groups as training and test set. Then, image processing algorithms are applied to these images and the compressive strength of concrete specimens is calculated. It has been determined that the approach suggested in the test runs performed with an error rate of about 1-2%.

We describe an approach that allowing the user to count apples on tree images interactively using an application. In our algorithm, analysis of apples in tree images is made by using basic morphological operations and vertical and horizontal histogram values. Our algorithm begins with take apple tree images from a digital camera. And then in this algorithm, basic morphological operations are used in apple detection process for counting apples on the trees. In this way it is possible to allowing the user to obtain a general idea about number of apples which he has in his apple trees. By using this information the user can manage to estimate to earnings of his goods. The proposed study compares the output of the algorithm with the ground truth and measures the differences according to application results. We apply this methodology in order to assess how well it can detect apples in apple tree images. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is quite efficient for gaining the information of number of apples.

With the new technological and economic developments and increasing competitive conditions in health care sector, the patients’ expectations are rising above their needs, and thus the performance evaluation of health care systems and institutions orientates to a more uncertain environment. In the literature, there are several articles that evaluate clinics, physicians or hospitals, considering criteria that can be evaluated quantitatively (number of beds, number of physicians…), whereas the expectations of customers, that generally reflect to the models via criteria that assessed qualitatively (empathy, reliability…) are ignored in most cases. In this paper, throughout a literature survey, the criteria that affect both technical efficiencies (crisp data set) and patients’ expectations (fuzzy data set) are determined in order to evaluate hospital performances of Istanbul. Alternatives are assessed by decision makers and a non-parametric decision making tool that incorporates fuzziness into the problem is employed to reach a ranking among the alternatives.

Growing sectors represent highly competitive market structures. For acquiring competitive advantage, companies need to clearly define their target markets and positioning strategies. In order to increase their customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, the companies of this industry focus on Customer Relationship Management (CRM) activities. CRM represent all the actions that a company makes in order to determine, acquire, develop and retain loyal and profitable customers by delivering the right product or service to the right customer, from the right channel, at the right price. High-budget projects of housing industry have a greater risk and therefore need to fully meet customer expectations. There exist many factors influencing new project decisions; selecting the best project is a Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. In this study, in the first step the factors directly affecting customer satisfaction in the housing industry are determined by taking expert opinions and conducting literature research. Three criteria and thirteen sub-criteria are defined and evaluated; their weights are calculated using AHP method. In the second step, these weights are used as inputs and among three different new project alternatives; the best project is selected with project data and expert decisions using the TOPSIS method.

It allows users to analyse data from many categories and to summarise relationships identified. Several methods & algorithms are available in Data Mining which are collected under four common classes of techniques: Classification, Clustering, Association Rule Learning and Regression. Classification which is the process of separating observations into classes is the most widespread method for finding the mine rule from huge databases. Various algorithms exist in classification such as; KNN, Bayes Classifier, Artificial Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms. The simplest one is Decision Tree method which plays a fundamental role to classify and to predict for data analyses due to its simple structure to understand& interpret .In other words, the decision tree method is easier way by analysing data partly faster when it is compared to the other classification algorithms. In this project, ID3 and C4.5 algorithms which were introduced by J. R. Quinlan have been used for “Red Wine Quality” dataset to determine which attributes of this dataset affect the its quality hierarchically . The objective of this paper is to present comparison of these two algorithms that have been coded in Visual Studio Console Application using C# as programming language for ID3 algorithm and in WEKA for C4.5 algorithm. As a consequence, its results are obtained and they show that these algorithms can be used effectively.

Several provider companies support their customers via the Internet, yet those individuals who have malicious intentions are threatening them. The DDoS attackers use different methods to attack their victims, one popular choice among these is the use of bot tools. Researchers intensely try to find out solutions to DDoS attacks, so they analyze the behavior of these sort of attacks. But they have issues for testing scenarios in the real implementations, hence testers use simulation or emulation methods to address this situation. This study is focused on one of the attacking tools called IP-Killer. IP-Killer (or MP-DDoser) is solely a DDoS bot, which contains many different DDoS attack rules. Here we test its attacking rules with an emulation environment to show the impact of the tool. Thus we have decided to use DETER Cybersecurity Testbed for our attacking tests, which has many special abilities for testing cyber-attacks and this might represent a real world scenario better. This paper covers the analysis of IP-Killer and its behavior during DDoS attacks, and measurement of the outcomes. We have taken the bandwidth, the CPU and RAM usages into consideration. Then we showed the test results in the graphs. Lastly, we discovered that UDP method consumes the largest bandwidth, while RAM usage and CPU utilization are consumed most by the HTTP GET method.

S., Turkey; 2 Bahcesehir University, Turkey ABSTRACT Expert systems for trading signal detection have received considerable attention in recent years. In financial trading systems, investors’ main concern is determining the best time to buy or sell a stock. The trading decisions are often influenced by the emotions and feelings of the investors. Therefore, investors and researchers have aimed to develop systematic models to reduce the impact of emotions on trading decisions. Nevertheless, the use of algorithmic systems face another problem called “lack of dynamism”. Due to dynamic nature of financial markets, trading robots should quickly learn and adapt as human traders. Recently, a solution for detecting trading signals based on a dynamic threshold selection was proposed. In this study, we extend this approach by adopting several different rule based systems and enhancing it by using the Recurrent Neural Network algorithm. Recurrent Neural Networks learn the connection weights of subsystems with arbitrary sequences of inputs that make them a great fit for time series data. Our model is based on Piecewise Linear Representation and Recurrent Neural Network with the goal of detecting potential excessive movements in noisy stream of time series data. We use an exponential smoothing technique to detect abnormalities. Trading signals are produced using fixed time interval data from Istanbul Stock Exchange. The evaluations indicated that our model produces successful results in trading data. Future work will focus on further improvements and scalability of the model.

Especially, this pollution occurs via transportation, warming, agriculture and industry. The quality of air in terms of pollution changes according to the intensity of air pollutants in atmosphere. Monitoring air quality is crucial for asthma sufferers and people affected by air pollution. These persons want to monitor by their mobile phones. In Turkey, air quality monitoring stations are established by Environment and Urban Ministry for each province. These stations have been hourly measuring air pollutant parameters according to its places. While some of stations only measure PM10 and SO2, another one measures PM10, SO2, NO2 and etc. According to these parameters, air quality indexes are instantly calculated for each station daily. These parameters have been publishing on the web page of ministry. In this study, a new web based application publishing PM10, SO2 and AQI values belonging to Adıyaman province instantly is developed in PHP with CURL. This application is parsing the current web address. Furthermore; developed application has been offering service in a web server located in Adiyaman University. Also, the mobile application has been developed in Android. Thus, the air quality parameters can be instantly monitored from our mobile phones. In this paper, such a system with web and mobile base is detailed described.

These techniques are used for filtering and analyzing the information required in production and service systems. Fuzzy logic, which allows for different analyses to be integrated with data mining, facilitates the analysis of incomplete or subjective data. In this study, data mining and fuzzy ranking methods are applied in an emergency service. Support and confidence values of inter-departmental of emergency service relations were found by applying Apriori algorithm, GRI algorithm, and CARMA algorithm, using in SPSS Clementine software. Confidence values for the three algorithms are divided into quarter intervals and four intervals are obtained in order to facilitate the calculation of the significance level of the relations. This interval is one of three criteria considered for ranking the significance level of relationships between emergency services departments. Other two criteria, "the number of algorithms" and "the direction of the relationship" were calculated according to the three algorithms in SPSS Clementine. As a result of the analysis of these criteria, the fuzzy ranking was used to determine the significance levels. The fuzzy ranking was carried out using Fuzzy Logic Designer module of Matlab R2009a. In the program, firstly the input units (criteria) and the output units (groups) of the algorithm were considered. In order for the module to be able to decide, the decision rules created through the expert opinion used. Since the properties of relations were inputted on the resulting interface of the program, the importance of each relation was found and ranked. With the help of this study, data mining and fuzzy ranking were used to determine signification levels of the association rules and it was applied in emergency service.

It is used in various areas from earth sciences like hydrology, ecology, oceanography, glaciology etc. to military applications. One of the areas where remote sensing is most useful is the forest investigations. Forests always have areas which is very difficult to achieve. Due to this fact, the remote sensing can be very useful to use the classification of tree types in a forest. In this study, photographs taken by ASTER satellite imaging have been used to determine tree types to create a forest map. The ASTER satellite imagery has contains images that taken in various wave length. The dataset is taken from a forested area in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. The most dominant tree species in this forest are Cryptomeria japonica (Sugi) and Chamaecyparis obtusa (Hinoki). In this study, the estimation of tree species has been done by using many types of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Number of neurons in the hidden layer of the ANN has been changed from 1 to 20 to determine the best ANN structure which estimate the tree species. The effects of change of activation function of the layers on the results have been investigated. Hyperbolic tangent sigmoid (Tansig), Logarithmic Sigmoid (LogSig) and Linear (PureLin) transfer functions have been used as activation function. The prepared ANN structures have been trained various training functions like Resilient backpropagation (traingdx),Gradient descent with momentum and adaptive learning rate backpropagation (traingdx), Bayesian regularization backpropagation (trainbr), Conjugate gradient backpropagation with Fletcher-Reeves updates (traincgf), Gradient descent backpropagation (traingd), Gradient descent with momentum backpropagation (traingdm), Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation (trainlm), Scaled conjugate gradient backpropagation (trainscg). All of the results of the researches have been compared and the best results have been obtained as 0. 501 RMSE and 0.225 MAE. The structure that has the best results, has consisted of 11 neurons in the hidden layer with PureLin activation function. And this structure has been trained by Conjugate gradient backpropagation with Fletcher-Reeves updates function.

They are affected by the other people or affect them. People can influence each other on a variety of issues, from buying an item from a supermarket to voting in an election. A reflection of this social environment in real life emerges as a social networking platform, such as Twitter, Flicker, etc. Today, the real life social environments and positions of people have been moved to social platforms. Individuals often communicate on social platforms, engage in new interactions, and organize their social environment. The influence of some individuals may be greater than others due to their position, the institutions or charities they represent. These people are called as influencers. Detection of the influencers offers many benefits. For example, advertising a product by the influencers can increase product sales. Such influencers can be used to mold public opinion on a particular subject, too. In addition, detection of people who affect social networks can be used to create security vulnerabilities, as spreading a computer virus. There are many studies in the literature about the detection of influencer users. The main purpose of these studies is to identify the top-k influencers who create maximum influence within a particular social environment. In this study, we developed a simple approach for the influence maximization by detecting top-k influencers in a Erdös-Renyi synthetic graph. The graph is directed and weightless, it has 150 nodes and 1500 edges. It has been tried to detect influencers using only neighborhood relations. The top-k influencers are detected successfully with the proposed method.

A software, which has a visual interface, has been designed with C#.NET programming language. With this software, success analysis of the results can be made and the performance of the results can be measured. This software was designed to be able to be used in academic studies and in applications which are related to artificial neural networks. In the studies, the datas which are received from the patients with rheumatoid arthritis and from the people who are not suffering from rheumatoid arthritis are used as training and test data sets. With the software, training takes place according to the desired number of neurons, learning rate, momentum coefficient and number of iterations which are determined dinamically. It was found that the network, on average, reaches the zero error rate, in the range of 500 and 1500 iterations. In the iterations which were performed 1500 times and more in computers with different processors, 82% to 100% success rate has been obtained. In this study, the importance of artificial neural networks and the advantages of the software, that can learn, in computer technologies have been examined. Also, backpropagation algorithm was examined in Matlab environment for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. The results found with the backpropagation algorithm and the perceptron algorithm have been compared in terms of performance. While %82 accuracy percentage is obtained with the Backpropagation algorithm, the accuracy percentage is found as %71 with Perceptron algorithm.

MANET was originally used in military, and it is consists of mobile nodes connected via wireless links (radio, microwaves signals) with no fixed infrastructure to control the communication between nodes, Black hole attack is one of the most wide spread attacks that used to affect the connectivity and integrity of MANET. A black hole node (Malicious node) drops all incoming packets from the source node instead of transmitting them to destination node. In this paper we propose a new technique to fight against this type of attacks by revealing and isolating the black hole nodes from the network.

But many people lost some limbs due to accidents or illnesses. To make life of people like that easy, some robotic solutions could be applied. Electroencephalography (EEG) may be used to control that kind of robotic limbs. In our study, EEG signals have been used to determine status of a human limb. The limb whose status is asked to be determined, is eyelid in this study. The dataset used to determine eyelid status were recorded brain waves from 14 electrodes by using a commercial EEG headset. The status of eyelid was added into the dataset manually. The dataset has been analyzed by using many types of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Number of neurons in the hidden layer of the ANN has been changed from 1 to 20 to determine best ANN structure which estimate the eyelid status. At the same time the activation function of neuron layers have been investigated for the same purpose. Hyperbolic tangent sigmoid (Tansig), Logarithmic Sigmoid (LogSig) and Linear (PureLin) transfer functions have been used as activation function. The prepared ANN structures have been trained various training functions like quasi-Newton backpropagation (trainbfg), Bayesian regularization backpropagation (trainbr), Conjugate gradient backpropagation with Fletcher-Reeves updates (traincgf), Gradient descent backpropagation (traingd), Gradient descent with adaptive learning rate backpropagation (traingda), Gradient descent with momentum backpropagation (traingdm), Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation (trainlm), Scaled conjugate gradient backpropagation (trainscg). All of the results of the researches have been compared and the best results have been obtained as 0.262 RMSE and 0.328 MAE. The structure that has the best results, has consisted of 11 neurons in the hidden layer with PureLin activation function. And this structure has been trained by Bayesian regularization backpropagation function.

Block reallocation is manually done by specialists in current works. If a robust algorithm which is capable automatic reallocation is designed using in land consolidation projects, both fair reallocation is provided and this challenge work will be easier. Many algorithms have been proposed which can perform block reallocation in the land consolidation projects in literature. Although the successes of the proposed algorithms in literature have been substantially good, the achievements of some algorithms have been constantly investigated. In this study, Automatic block reallocation using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm which is an optimization algorithm in land consolidation projects has been investigated. The steps of the algorithm for the task are developed for PSO. An arable land in Dot village in Adıyaman has been employed as a project study. Landholdings preferences and places of fixed installations are taken into consideration in the design of the steps of algorithm. The land includes 143 blocks and 225 landholders. 405 fixed areas weren’t used in the project; only 293 parcels are subjected to reallocation in the study. Consequently, this paper presents a model algorithm which can automatically reallocate parcels to blocks using Particle Swarm Optimization.

Through image processing techniques, 3D brain models can be constructed by mapping medical brain imaging files structurally. Physical characteristics of patient brains can be extracted from those 3D brain models. Characteristics of some specific brain regions are more efficacious in predicting the type of the disease. For that reason, researches are made for finding the worthwhile features out using cortical volumes, gray volumes, surface areas, and thickness averages for left and right brain parts separately or together. The main objective of this work is determining more influential sections throughout the entire brain in establishing the clinical diagnosis. To that end, among all the measurements exported from 3D models, the significant brain features that are effective in identifying some dementia subtypes are sought. The dataset has 3D brain models generated from magnetic resonance scans of 63 samples. Each sample is labeled with one of the following three disease types: Alzheimer’s disease (19), frontotemporal dementia (19), and vascular dementia (25). The genetic algorithm based wrapper feature selection method with various classifiers is proposed to select the features that state the aforementioned dementia subtypes best. The tests are performed by applying cross validation technique and confusion matrices are shown. At the end, the best features are listed, and the accuracy results up to %95.2 are achieved.

In this systems each body continuously interacts with every other body via gravity forces. The all-pairs method is a brute-force technique that calculates all pairwise interaction among the N bodies. Although it is a simple method, it is not used in large-scale simulations since the computational complexity is O (N2). However, it can be used for close range calculations when combined with hierarchical methods that are used in long distance calculations. Reciprocal forces fij = -fji can be used to reduce the number of force calculation in the allpairs method by half. However, until March 2015, it was difficult to implement this optimization effectively with CUDA. With the release of the concurrent streams feature in CUDA 7, this optimization has become effective. In this paper, the classical CUDA application with the reciprocal forces optimized CUDA application was compared in terms of memory usage and calculation time. It has observed that reciprocal forces optimization uses about 42% less memory than classical CUDA implementation and about 19% faster when the number of body is 73,728. In addition, as the number of body increases, the reciprocal forces optimized CUDA application runs even faster.

Train accidents happened every year in the world due to heavy task. And the train accidents resulted in serious destruction of property and injury or death of passengers and crew members. Many of the railway transport accidents happen because of driver’s tiredness, bad weather conditions, and defective rail components, etc. To prevent these accidents, importance is attached to the detection of faulty regions in the tracks, and other rail components. Safety of railroad transportation can be enhanced by utilizing intelligent systems that provide additional information about the exact location of the train, its speed and upcoming obstacles. A collision avoidance system for railway vehicles is required to specify their location in the railroad network precisely and reliably. Level crossings in railroad are important safety regions. The level crossings are common areas used by trains and motor vehicles. Therefore there is a risk of collision of trains and motor vehicles at these points. Foreign objects in the level crossings constitute a risk of accident for both trains and motor vehicles. Moreover, the deterioration of the shape and surface structure of the level crossings threatens the safety of railway access. Faulty level crossings should be detected with non-contact image processing techniques. In this study, the level crossings have been detected by using Pre-processing such as color format conversion, image normalization, Feature extraction, Hough transform, Elimination of noisy pixels, and some image processing techniques. It has been determined whether or not the foreign objects are in the detected level crossings. It has been decided whether the detected foreign objects were of a threat to the security of the transportation. The foreign object detected for this process has been examined by using morphological feature extraction techniques. So that the train driver can be alerted beforehand about the foreign object that has been checked.

Artificial neural networks have been frequently used in many fields for various targets such as prediction, modeling, classification and data association. Similarly, they have been applied successfully in environmental engineering studies (modeling of sorption processes, prediction of ozone concentrations and water losses, etc.). One of the most interesting fields related with environmental engineering is ion exchange process. In this treatment process which is based on exchange of anion or cation on the surface of unsoluble solid material with similar charged ions, ion exchange resins are used. In this study, experiments were carried out where Lewatit®M500 and Lewatit®MP500 ion exchange resins were used for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions. The data (time, resin amount, pH value, concentration, sorption percentage) obtained from the experiments were firstly trained by artificial neural networks and then they were tested for the prediction of ion exchange efficiency of ion exchange resins. As a result of this study, it was determined that Lewatit®MP500 strong base anion exchange resin had better removal efficiency.

This work describes the development of an interpreter for the least squares method, using symbolic computation methods and automatic code generation tools. The development process starts with the construction of a context-free grammar that denotes the mathematical curves. Then, a parser which is generated via the JavaCC tool for this grammar is employed to represent the curves with object structures and to determine their parameters. Through these object structures, the curves are analyzed and the parameters to be computed by the least squares method are determined. For the curves with specific function components, such as exponential, logarithmic and rational functions, some symbolic computation tasks are performed, which transform those curves into polynomials.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons are located in strategically designed points. The system has been implemented on approximately 9,000m2 indoor area with 150 beacons. The application software has been developed with Android Studio and Special Android Indoor Software Development Kit (SDK). Android SDK uses path loss model and trilateration for localization. Trilateration method is used to compute the distance of the traveller from each of three beacons. The position of the visitor is determined as the point of intersection of three circles, each centred at one of the beacons. The radius of each of these circles is the estimated distance of the visitor from that beacon. The system allows users to navigate in the campus with a 3D map while providing them directions to the daily events that take place. Also an augmented reality has been created using camera view of the mobile device to further help with the indoor navigation. On the other hand, reliable indoor localization is a must for the development of the Internet of Thing (IoT). Sensors that are a part of the IoT can benefit from accurate indoor location determination. That is why we have been studying on indoor positioning systems for 3 years and during this research period of time, we obtain significantly better results in average error point of view. For this purpose, Fingerprint algorithm is developed and applied to beacon-based indoor positioning system and the results are discussed in this research paper.

By creating concrete static projects, alternative solutions can be seen, most accurate and economical decisions can be taken. Better time management is also provided in this way. No doubt, one of the most important productions in the construction business is mold making. Mold making masters should have good training and should be good at their jobs. A small mistake can lead to irreversible consequences and can cause to various troubles. Bad manufacturing and workmanship will cause accidents in the construction phase and after that will cause problems in calculations done regarding safety. The construction industry comes first in work accidents and an important part of the accidents happen because of molding and scaffolding errors. The cost of these accidents to the employers and the state is at serious levels. In this study, a construction made with values gained from a project prepared with boundary values is examined. In this roughly finished construction, incomplete productions and missing section heights have been determined due to mold workmanship. It has been observed that there are major faults such as column installation errors and columns not overlapping. Errors in beam column joints have been eliminated by resolution of project, i.e. CAD program. Due to great advantages provided by the CAD program, a solution has been reached shortly. It has been decided to stop the construction of the existing building and carry out a mandatory strengthening project. CAD programs have been used in the strengthening project and the most suitable project has been prepared by working on alternatives to minimize the cost of strengthening. It is important that the CAD programs provide instant alternatives at the solution stage and comply with the comparison conditions. The economic benefit provided by different alternatives for reducing the strengthening cost is significant.

Numerous computer programs have been developed that can quickly perform algebraic calculations without errors. However, since these programs are designed to be used only with their own user interfaces, they can not be integrated into other computing environments or run as a component of those environments. In this study, the design and development stages of a system that can be integrated into users' working environments to support algebraic computational operations are presented. Formal language definitions have been used to represent an algebraic expression. First, grammar rules are defined for the forms of algebraic expressions, and abstract syntax trees of related expressions are generated by applying language parsing operations. These trees are converted to expressions in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data interchange format so that they can be used by all programming languages. Then simplification operations are applied to obtain object representations of these expressions. Finally, various numerical and symbolic computation operations are defined on these object representations to support the simplification of algebraic expressions and the generation of similar expressions.

The number of low or high WBCs give significant information about many diseases and so correct determination of number of WBCs is very critical. For example number of WBCs can increase in bacterial infections while number of WBCs can decrease in viral infections. Traditionally, tedious and time consuming manual methods based on visual examinations have been used. Recently, automated methods for counting WBCs have begun to gain importance in literature. In the study, we compared the performances DBSCAN clustering technique and image processing methods (i.e., watershed approach and morphological operators) on counting WBCs. DBSCAN is a density based clustering algorithm and can discover arbitrary shaped clusters without using number of cluster as input parameter. Experimental results show that DBSCAN clustering algorithm presents as promising results as image processing techniques of watershed and morphological operations.

A tissue including melanoma is sorted as malignant or benign cases using traditional ABCD (AsymmetryBorder-Color-Differential Structure) rule from dermoscopic images. In the classification of melanoma cases, a lesion segmentation step is vital since an appropriate segmentation significantly affects the accuracy of recognition results. After the separation of a lesion from skin background in a dermoscopic image using Otsu thresholding approach, the feature vectors including shape, color and texture properties are extracted from the corresponding lesion. While shape features such as asymmetry, aspect ratio, compactness, etc. are extracted from border of a lesion, color features are computed by analyzing the color distribution on the corresponding lesion. Finally, texture features are extracted from the GLCM (Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix) of the raw pixel matrix of a dermoscopic image. An image database consisting of 81 benign and 81 malignant melanoma cases is utilized in this paper and lesions. The preferred classification method is the one against one first order Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm. The proposed computer aided diagnosis system offers a recognition accuracy of 82.26% on the test image set.

In the face recognition, dimensionality reduction methods are used to work with fewer dimensions. There are a lot of dimensionality reduction methods. Because of time and space complexities, linear dimensionality reduction methods are more preferred generally. In this paper, popular linear dimensionality reduction methods and their performance are investigated on face recognition. These methods are principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), neighbourhood preserving embedding (NPE) and locality sensitive discriminant analysis (LSDA).

Features are extracted by comparing the grey level values of a center pixel and its neighbors. In face recognition, image is divided into several regions and LBP feature distributions are evaluated from each region separately. Then the classification is done according to dissimilarity measures such as Chi-square. Linear Regression Classification (LRC) is a popular holistic method used in face recognition problems. In this method, it is assumed that the feature vectors in a class lie on a linear subspace. Then the regression coefficients are calculated using least squares method. In LRC, intensities of image pixels are used as features. The unknown query is assigned to the class where the minimum reconstruction error occurs. In this work, we use LBP features to describe the face images and use them to classify the images using LRC. In the experiments performed in AR face database, LRC-based classification outperformed Chi-square based one.

A machine vision system capable of non-contact, fast and highprecision measurement has been proposed and developed in this paper. For this purpose, two cameras were used to capture images of products passing through a conveyor. Firstly, a reference image is taken in the system. The product to be passed over the conveyor is placed in the middle of the two cameras and the conveyor for metric calibration. In this way, images are taken from two cameras. After this process, image processing and mathematical operations is applied to images and measurement values are obtained. The proposed approach works in real time and error amount of the system is less than +-2 mm. The most important feature of this approach which provides high-precision and noncontact measurement is the ability to measure dimension from camera characteristics and lens, product type and position of products.

In recent years, RDF are used in waste to energy plants and cement factories as alternative fuel. Determination of heating values of fuels needs delicate and expensive calorimeter, and is time-consuming. It’s quite desirable to develop quick and easy model predicting heating values of fuel. So, new empirical correlations based on proximate analyses of RDF used for prediction of higher heating value (HHV) are presented in this paper. For this purpose, the moisture (MC), ash (AC) and volatile (VC) content of the RDF samples were determined according to ASTM D-3173-85, ASTM D-3174-82 and ASTM D-3172-73, respectively. Also, the HHV of the RDF were determined using an IKA C200 calorimeter (ASTM D-5865). The correlations have been developed via linear regression method by using proximate analysis results. The best correlation, which has least errors, is selected and compared with real HHV analysis results. The correlation based on first order (HHV = -0.1332*MC + 0.009*AC- 0.009*VC + 7) has a total error of 0.92 %. The other correlation which is based on second order (HHV = -0.2688*MC – 0.007575*AC + 0.4829*VC + 0.0025*MC² + 0.0033*AC² 0.01441*VC² + 5) is indicate that it has good HHV predictive capability.

To ensure these standards the computer aided quality control systems gain importance in marketing and producing. One of the most important thing in wheat production is the seeds. The quality of seeds and being seeds consist of only wanted species of wheat is so important. With low quality seeds it is inevitable to achieve low efficiency. Additionally, mixes of unwanted species in the seeds creates extra costs on the result product to select them. To avoid these problems, a machine vision based selection study has been proposed. In this study some characteristic parameters that have been obtained from images taken from seeds, have been used to determine class of wheat. The attributes of this dataset are area, perimeter, compactness, length, width asymmetry coefficient and length of kernel groove. 60% of the dataset has been used to train an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and rest of the dataset has been used for tests. To obtain best structure of ANN, the number of neurons in the hidden layer of ANN has been changed within 1 to 40. And the activation function of hidden layer and output layer has been investigated for best result. Hyperbolic tangent sigmoid (Tansig), Logarithmic Sigmoid (LogSig) and Linear (PureLin) transfer functions have been used as activation function. The prepared ANN structures have been trained various training functions. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) have been used as performance criteria. All of the results of the researches have been compared and the best results have been obtained as 0.1598 RMSE and 0.0273 MAE. The structure that has the best results, has consisted of 25 neurons in the hidden layer with hyperbolic tangent sigmoid activation function. And this structure has been trained by Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation function.

In 1969, Dana Scott [11] introduced a domain theory that could provide a mathematical foundation for denotational semantics. Moreover, in 1972, D. Scott [12] proved that there is one-to-one connection between continuous lattices and specialization orders of injective T0 topological spaces. This result shows that there is a deep relationship between order-theoretic properties and topological properties. Continuous directed complete partial orders (dcpos) endowed with the Scott topology [13], [14] help to model lambda calculi as well as the denotational semantics of computer programs. In 1989, Robert Lowen [15] introduced theory of approach spaces which is based upon point-to-set distances rather than point-to-point distances. In 2011, E. Colebunders et al. [16] have proved that approach structure on domains induces Scott topology and characterized some fixed point theorems on these domains in [17]. In 1991, Baran [4] introduced local separation properties in set-based topological categories and later, they are generalized to point free definitions by using the generic element method of topos theory [21] or [22]. In addition to, one of the fundamental usage of local separation properties is to define the notion of strong closedness in set-based topological categories that has been used in the notion of Hausdroffness ([4], [6]), Compactness [7], regular, completely regular, and normal objects in ([8], [9]). In this paper, we characterize local T1 distance-approach spaces and investigate the relationship with usual T1 distanceapproach spaces.

But knowing all of the species and characteristic of these plants is impossible. An application that gives information about plants from its database could be very attractive. Not only botanist but also anyone who loves plant/bass would interest on an application that determine species or families of a plant automatically by using a photo of leaves taken instantly. In this study, a dataset by using many species of plants leaf image has been created. The attributes of dataset consist of some morphological and color based properties obtained by image processing. There are 14 attributes with 340 instances. To obtain best results with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) many structures have been investigated. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) have been used as performance criteria. While number of neurons in the hidden layer has been changing from 1 to 20, the performance criteria has been observed. All of the tested structures mentioned above has been trained with various training functions. Best structure and training function is obtained when there are 15 neurons in the hidden layer with LogSig activation function. For best situation the RMSE and MAE are 0.0007 and 0.0001 respectively. The training function is scaled conjugate gradient backpropagation.

Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is one of these algorithms. It is inspired by Newton’s law of universal gravitation. In this paper, we compare two modified algorithms based on GSA. One of the algorithms is called Member-Satellite algorithm. Members are randomly positioned in the search space and a certain amount of satellites are assigned around the members in the predetermined region. Members and their satellites are used to find a near optimal solution all together. The second one is MSS-GSA. When interconnected objects are used, it is possible to obtain a solution closer to the optimum point. For this reason mass spring system is integrated into the GSA. Three benchmark functions are used to compare performance. Experimental results show that the highest performance is obtained with Member-Satellite algorithm.

Thus, these smart systems and devices take part during lifetime. To become a smart program or a system, some characteristics should be included: - To make decision - To sense - To learn - To solve problem - Reasoning - To recognize figures or pictures - To understand natural language The capability of carrying out variable jobs and applications simultaneously makes smart systems indispensable.Smart portable systems may provide almost all of the applications which are provided by a stationary computer system. We considered main requirements of customers in a parking lot; Automatic barrier system, empty/occupied area sensing and monitoring. Empty parking lots are monitored with sensors that are placed on the parking lot floors, in our project.Also, the number of the empty parking lots are presented at the entrance of the parking lots. Thus, if there is not an empty parking lot then the customer does not enter the parking garage and leave.So, time and money is saved. As soon as a customer leaves its parking lot, its place will be realized by the system. After it leaves from the exit, its place will shown as empty for preventing the crowd. At the entrance and exit, possible disorders are prevented. We utilized an Arduino Mega 2560 which is an ATmega2560 base circuit board. It is programmed over Arduino IDE. CNY 70 konstrat sensors are used to decide the empty parking lots. CNY 70 sensor emits infrarosso and produces analog outputs according to taking infrarosso back or not. It helps us to determine if there is a reflective surface in front of the sensor. If there is a surface in front of the sensor, we understand that there is a car parked on the considered parking lot. The sensors which are occupied by cars are represented by red lamplights which are on. In the first scenario, at the entrance the number of occupied parking lots are given as three at the table of the parking lot together with empty parking lot as one. For this reason, the automatic barrier is opened for the fourth car to enter in the parking lots area.

To maintain high quality and reduce code redundancy, developers are advised to build classes with high degree of cohesion (i.e., relatedness among class members) and implement class inheritance concepts whenever applicable. In object-oriented systems, instead of redefining the attributes and methods that are included in other classes, a class can inherit these attributes and methods and only implement its unique attributes and methods, which results in reducing code redundancy and improving code testability and maintainability. In this paper, we empirically investigate the relation between class cohesion and inheritance using classes of three opensource Java systems. We consider five cohesion and two inheritance measures. The empirical study results show that cohesion and inheritance internal quality attributes are inversely correlated. In addition, the results indicate that the cohesion and inheritance quality attributes are almost orthogonal.

In this regard, technology has become an indispensable part of our lives. Nowadays, most people use smartphones and the applications developed for smartphones make people's business easier and managable. In this study, the technological facilities provided by smartphones were used to solve the problem of finding parking space in the parking lots.The proposed parking system solves two fundamental problems. The first problem is to find the location of the suitable parking areas in the parking lots. The second problem is to help the drivers to find their previously parked car in the parking lot. The system also guides to the nearest free parking place in a multi-storey car park by using the altitude property of the device’s GPS module. The car parking system which uses mobile device’s GPS module allows the drivers to find the nearest available parking space in the parking lot. This car parking system will reduce time spent looking for a parking spaces in parking lots and help to make city parking less stressful and optimally distribute parking spaces.

The encryption stage starts with the development of a context-free grammar to describe triangular problems in a formal language. Triangle descriptions are then encrypted using a traditional cryptography algorithm and lastly the corresponding QR code is generated. In the decryption stage, the QR code is decrypted and a parser, which is automatically produced by the JavaCC tool, is used to analyze and show the related problem graphically. The developed system provides QR code reader-like tool and presents an elegant way to be able to display mathematical problems on various devices easily. With such a tool, the whole questions of an exam can be encoded in QR code and stored in smaller sizes.

They began to be established and supported by the Turkish government since 1960s and at the present time there are one or more OIZs in all cities of Turkey (except Artvin). The low occupancy rates of these OIZs make the question of whether the OIZs work efficiently. This study aims to evaluate the efficiencies of OIZs located in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey by using a data envelopment analysis based common weight decision model, which is a powerful method to measure the relative efficiencies of decision making units.

As a result, the representation of an entity in this data may consist of various data types, including location and other numeric attributes, textual descriptions, images, videos, social network information and other types of information. Searching similar entities in this multi enriched data exploiting the information of multiple representations simultaneously promises to yield more interesting and relevant information than searching among each data type individually. This study presents a research approach using artificial intelligence techniques for model the performance metrics of posts published in brands' Social media pages. Firstly, the performance metrics data was classified with machine learning algorithms and then training and test results were analysed. The estimation results of the performance metrics were compared with similar data and similar studies. We have drawn a decision process flow from model, which by complementing the sensitivity analysis information may be used to support manager's decisions on whether to publish a post.

It is known that time is crucial in real time applications. Serial image processing does not satisfy real time conditions adequately. To decrease processing time, parallel computing techniques can be used. Parallel computing techniques have two types of memory model named shared and distributed. OpenMP is a parallel programming model for shared memory machines. This paper describes the implementation of defect detection algorithm on military cartridge using OpenMP.

According to the theoretical calculations, the ClFBA molecule exists in three different conformers. Conformers II and III are higher in energy than I by 17.1 and 17.3 kJ mol−1 (16.0 and 16.5 kJ mol−1, after consideration of zero-point corrected energy), respectively. According to the energy data predicted theoretically only conformer I was expected to be present in the cryogenic xenon matrix, a result that was confirmed experimentally. Laser UV ( = 235 nm) excitation of matrix-isolated ClFBA led to prompt decarboxylation of the compound, with production of CO2 and 1-chloro-3-fluorobenzene (ClFB), whose vibrational signature could be doubtlessly identified in the spectra of the photolysed matrix.

This study examined the facile process for the fabrication of a compact CuO nanostructures. The N719-dye used as the photosensitizer for the CuO electrode in the p-DSCs device and their performances have been analyzed. The enhancement of both short-circuit photocurrent (Jsc) and fill factor (FF) resulted in a twofold increase in the power conversion efficiency (h). Dye-sensitized photocathodes (p-DSCs) operate in an inverse mode, where dyeexcitation is followed by rapid electron transfer from a p-type semiconductor to the dye (dye-sensitized hole injection). Here we show that p-DSCs can convert absorbed photons to electrons with resulting in a sevenfold increase in energy conversion efficiency compared with previously reported photocathodes.

Due to its wide application fields, increasing performance of capacitors is a very intensely studied topic. In this study, effect of composition ratio of components in nanocrystalline TiO2-Al2O3 ceramic composites (TAO) on capacitance, break down voltage, and leakage current is investigated. By using nanocrystalline structure flexible capacitors are obtained which can extend applications of ceramic capacitors. Capacitor structure is formed by sandwiching TAO between readily cleaned aluminum plates. TiO2/Al2O3 ratio is arranged from 100% to 0% by weight. Ceramic mixture is grinded in agate mortar and coating paste is prepared by introducing a few drops of acetic acid – water – dish soap solution. As prepared paste is spread onto surface as a thick film by using doctor’s blade method. Coated plates are sintered in muffle furnace at 500°C for 30minutes to remove organics in film structure. Crystalline structure of the coatings examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface morphology is examined by SEM. To form nanocrystalline ceramic capacitor two thick film coated plates are sandwiched. Besides ceramics, effect of polymer introduction to system is investigated by introduction of polyethylene (PE) sheets between coated plates. Break down voltage of TAO ceramic capacitors have been investigated via high voltage power supply. Leakage currents of capacitors tested with high resistance precision electrometer alongside the DC capacitance measurements. The AC characterization of the capacitors have been conducted with an impedance analyzer by means of analyzing dielectric losses at room temperature.

Then, AFR was modified via their hydroxyl groups by reaction with s-triazone that was produced by the reaction of urea with the mixture of formaldehyde and alendronic acid. S-triazone reacts with formaldehyde in the presence of acid catalyst to give methylol derivatives. Methylol derivatives of s-triazone give condensation products in an acid media with resin. The mol ratio of s-triazone / resin was about 1/10. Insertion of functional s-triazone cyclic structure to the AF-Resin effected its physical properties considerably. The products were characterized by FTIR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and 31P-NMR spectroscopic analysis. KEYWORDS - Resin, acetophenone, s-triazone, formaldehyde.

Before the installation of a wind energy conversion system in a region, the wind speed potential of that region needs to be determined and modelled. For this reason, different distribution functions such as two-parameter Weibull, Gamma, Lognormal, Rayleigh etc. are proposed for accurately modeling wind speed in the literature. In this paper, new probability and cumulative probability density functions based on Finsler geometry are proposed for wind speed modelling. Two-dimensional Finsler space metric function is obtained for Weibull distribution. Monthly analysis for Yalova, Turkey is realized using a new method based on Finsler geometry and twoparameter Weibull distribution. Wind data, consisting of hourly wind speed records between October 2015-September 2016 were obtained from the Yalova station of Turkish State Meteorological Service. The performances of the models are given comparatively by using root mean square error (RMSE). KEYWORDS - Finsler Geometry, Wind Speed, Modelling, Weibull Distribution, Renewable Energy.

Geodesics in a Finsler space are used to determine the non-linear paths of a fluid flow in inhomogeneous anisotropic porous medium.Significant differences occur between the Riemannian and Finslerian geodesics due to the directional dependence of Darcy’s flow of fluids. In an optimum path (a geodesic) in physical space, it guarantees the maximum flux or shortest transition time of the fluid through inhomogeneous porous medium. Fermat’s variational principle is used to minimizing the total resistance through inhomogeneous porous medium. The fluid streamlines move between areas exposed to minimal resistance. Therefore, the path of Darcy’s flows of fluid can be defined by geodesics in Finsler geometry [1]. The various functional properties of the hydraulic conductivity of porous media are examined and given graphically. In this study, various functional structures of hydraulic resistance of the inhomogeneous porous media are examined and the results obtained are given graphically.

Due to its nonlinear nature and large scale problem, it is hard to solve this problem without any linearization. The motivation of this work is to present the importance of power loss in the TEP problem. In this study, a linearized-AC network model is used to solve this problem because of the lack of DC-model. In that manner, the cost turnover time is evaluated by including both line investment and power loss costs in the objective function. In the problem, bi-level programming is used to solve both economic dispatch and TEP problem with together, where TEP problem is solved at upper level and economic dispatch is solved at lower level. The linearized-AC and DC-lossy models are applied to the IEEE 24-bus test system. Simulation results can be interpreted in terms of cost turnover time when considering power loss in the TEP problem. Moreover, the expanded networks obtained from the linearized-AC and DC-lossy models are tested with full AC representation of transmission network for network constraints and presenting trade-offs between two models.

Nevertheless, feasibility studies remain important as the cost of installation is still relatively high. One of the most important parameters in the feasibility studies is the appropriate location selection. In this study, the appropriate location selection for the SPP was studied with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is one of the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. For the application, Elazığ, Kahramanmaraş and Malatya cities, which are located on the same plane, were selected as examples. As criteria, solar energy potential, earth slopes and feeder capacities, which are important in feasibility studies, were considered. In the results of the study, Kahramanmaraş was found as the most suitable city for establishment of SPP. It was followed by the cities of Malatya and Elazığ. The results were approved by considering the data of cities' sunshine duration and radiation value in Solar Energy Potential Atlas (GEPA).

Among the various renewable energy sources, solar energy is one of the most promising source and gaining attraction for a wide usage as a natural source of energy. It is foreseeable that solar power generation can contribute prominently to overcome the indisputable problems of global warming and climate change. Solar energy is the ultimate source of power. The operation principles of all solar cells of present days is essentially similar and based on the photovoltaic effect. In general, the photovoltaic effect means the generation of a potential difference at the junction of two different materials in response to visible or other radiation. Photovoltaic solar cells can convert sunlight directly into electricity. The photovoltaic panels is defined by an equivalent circuit model. Four parameters model is one of the commonly used in literature. Knowing the photovoltaic panel parameters is of importance for the design and estimates the performance of solar cells. Therefore, the parameters are needed to be calculated by a proper method. The determination of some characteristic parameters for the four parameter model using simplified method and slope method is the main purpose of the present work. The results obtained with different methods were analysed and compared with those of the manufacturer datasheet used. Further it has been determined that the different radiation and the different temperature is effective on the photovoltaic parameters.

Moreover, diversified power plants lead to reduce primary source risks. On the contrary, renewable energy sources are limited to use up and wait for second cycle for regeneration. In this study, solar energy plant for 1MVA is observed and compared with simulations and real values. Solar power generation is related to environmental conditions to achieve maximum power point. Temperature, wind speed, humidity and irradiation parameters are scrutinized and sourced for artificial neural network inputs to forecast possible energy production for daily using. As first, backward data structure is created and filtered in case of solar power system failure.

The photocurrent density behavior versus modulation frequency and junction recombination velocity is presented. The study of this photocurrent, according to the junction recombination velocity, allows us to determine the junction recombination velocity limiting the short circuit. The photocurrent density is studied as a function of the junction recombination velocity for different modulation frequencies. From the variation profile of the photocurrent density as a function of the junction recombination velocity, a technique for determining junction recombination velocity is presented. We also pointed out the influence of the incidence angle on the photocurrent density of the solar cell. The aim of this paper is to make a comparison of the photocurrent produced by the horizontal junction solar cell and those produced by junction vertical parallel solar cell.

For this investigation, finite element analyses (FEA) program ANSYS is used. Landing gears are very critical structural part of the airplanes. When designing a landing gear, static, fatigue, dynamic and aerodynamic analyses must be performed. Static analysis is the starting point of the analysis steps. The fatigue analysis, which is second step of the analysis, must be carried out to see long life working performance. Hence in a previous study, the static analysis of landing gear was performed in terms of stress and deformation. And in this study, fatigue analysis is performed in terms of fatigue life and safety factor. Landing gear assembly is divided into two parts and these parts are analysed separately.

In this study, effects of different mechanical connection shapes on the structural strength performances have been investigated. And Glass/Epoxy composite structures are used in this investigation. Stress, deformation, fatigue life, and safety factor distribution of the structure, which are connected using different connection shapes, are researched. Butterfly, T-shape, and circular shape mechanical connections are used. Since the main aim of the study is to understand the behavior of composite structures that are connected without any bonded surface, the connections are only connected mechanically. All analyses are performed using commercial finite element analysis program ANSYS. Comparisons of stress, deformation, fatigue life, and safety factor distribution of composite plate connected with different connection shapes have been performed.

The term “sanitaryware” is the general name of the glazed and non–glazed white products such as sinks, toilets and shower stalls. There are two different type of slips used in ceramic sanitaryware production. Vitrified slip is generally used for production of closet group products and the fireclay slips are used for the big size and flat sinks in which the deformation is highly important. Pyroplastic deformation is the situation that fireclay products undergo a shape change during firing. In this study, enhancement of pyroplastic deformation in fireclay slips and improvement of product quality is aimed. Hence, the recipes are reformulated by increasing the chamotte amount by considering the control of rheological properties. Water absorption, firing deformation, semi–product strength and shrinkage values of the samples were measured. Results show that reformulated 3 new recipes has improved deformation proportionally depending on the chamotte amount.

GPS is a localization system that is available everywhere in the world but its error for small scale unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are far beyond acceptable levels. Thus, a much more precise localization measurement and feedback should be obtained for indoor applications and experimental setups of quadrotors. Because of the reasons mentioned above, a visual localization system for quadrotor type UAVs is designed and implemented in this study to provide tracking of quadrotor motion in x-y-z space by processing stereo images taken from a 3D camera with double lens. The system consists of three stages. As the first stage, the stereo camera is calibrated and intrinsic parameters of both cameras are obtained to avoid the effects of fisheye lenses. These parameters are used to rectify video frames obtained from stereo camera. Then, three balls in different colors are placed on the quadrotor as 3D markers. In the following, disparity map is generated using each pixel of each frame. This disparity map provides depth information. Then, 3D reprojection is obtained using this map. Only points of red-green-blue markers are taken into consideration in the obtained reprojection. The center of the quadrotor is obtained using the centers of these markers, the center is transformed from camera reference frame to world reference frame and 3D localization is implemented. All the software for the proposed 3D localization system is implemented using MATLAB Image Processing and Computer Vision Toolboxes. The experimental results verify that the proposed system is capable of 3D localization of quadrotors for only small 3D spaces.

S., Turkey ABSTRACT In general, universal motors or permanent magnet synchronous motors are used in washing machines. In this study, different from conventional motor applications, the fractional slot permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor is designed and optimized for the washing machine applications. The wide speed range and the noise level of the washing machine have to be considered as significant design criteria. The output torque quality affects the noise level of permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor. The parameters, which affect torque quality, are considered while designing permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor. There are two main parameters that affect the output torque quality. These parameters are torque ripple and cogging torque. In this study, the optimization is made for reducing cogging torque and also torque ripples. The optimized motor design is given and compared with initial design in this study. The motors, used for washing machine application, must have the ability to operate at wide speed range. The designed permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor has the ability to operate at a wide speed range between 1000-15000 rpm. The motor is designed by using the Flux 2D FEA software. The designed permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor is analyzed at both no-load and under-load conditions using Flux 2D. Optimization studies and results are given for synchronous reluctance motor operate at wide speed ranges with low torque ripple.

The proposed control method is realized in two cascaded control structures such that primary and secondary, respectively. In the primary part, called outer loop, the position of the ball is controlled by changing the angle of the beam. In the secondary part, called inner loop, the needed voltage is generated to determine appropriate position angle of the servo motor to adjust the position of the beam. Furthermore, a welltuned conventional PI controller is also applied to the system to indicate the priority and effectiveness of the SMC. The results obtained in real-time show that SMC is better than PI controller in the aspect of reference tracking, fast response to the changes and accuracy as well.

The system consists of a servo motor, beam and ball. The position of the ball is controlled via beam’s angle. Also, to adjust beam’s position, servo motor must be controlled through controller to generate needed angle for the beam. The aim of the proposed controller is to track reference trajectory very well, deal with parameter uncertainties and provide more flexibility for the nonlinear BBS. The experimental results show that the FOPI controller gives fast response, has lower rise time, settling time and the successes of reference position tracking when compared with classical integer-order PI controller.

Given the limited availability of fossil-based energy sources and the harmful effects it has on the environment, wind power is likely to be the most important source of clean energy in the near future for both Turkey and the world. However, estimating how much power wind turbines generate is a challenging and difficult problem due to the dependence of the wind power on meteorological events. The increase in the share of wind turbines in the electricity grid and the intermittent and stochastic nature of the wind power make it difficult to integrate into the electricity grid. Estimating the speed of the wind has a vital role in terms of ensuring the safety of wind turbines and avoiding power quality and voltage surge problems is critical to the grid. In this study, the wind speed was estimated by using ARIMA method and the wind speed, wind direction and wind intensity parameters were used while the wind speed was estimated. In addition, the maximum speed used in the method is calculated by using the extreme value theorem. The estimation of wind power has been experimented on the data obtained through the turbine and air station located in Kirikkale University campus area and successful results have been obtained.

The training of this department seeks to make its students graduate with all necessary information starting from fundamentals of electricity, to the use and operation of machinery and equipment’s. That is why the trainings and the courses given theoretically and practically in the department are of great importance. The students are often asked to transform the theoretical information obtained into practice in the laboratories of the courses. Thus, a small working environment is created for the students who are expected to simulate the problems they may encounter in real life and the related operations/mechanism to the class environment. The electric machinery training sets have modular design so that the students can learn and use basic electricity laws with their measurements, learn about, design, and analyse the circuit elements through hands-on training. Modular design of the sets made the laboratory environment resemble an industrial implementation setting. The motors and remote control switches used in the training sets have the same design with the models used in the industrial and daily life. In this paper, one of the sample of electrical and electronic engineering department course covers also many laboratory courses is analysed. Each of courses which entail different application models and process are examined for students’ and universities point of view. In addition, the effects of theoretical courses on practical lessons are explained by using students’ success rate.

The grid-connected inverters are essential part of the renewable energy generation systems especially for a photovoltaic power system. The photovoltaic system generates the power as DC output. In order to supply this power to the AC power grid, the DC-AC inverter is inevitable component in the system. Increasing the utilization of renewable energy generation systems due to provide increasing load consumptions causes different power quality problems at the grid connection point because of the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources. The main power quality problems on grid-connected photovoltaic systems are harmonics and voltage variations. In this study, effects of inverter topologies and modulation techniques in terms of power quality issues are investigated on Matlab Simulink environment. The comprehensive analysis on the grid-connected photovoltaic systems is achieved considering not only power quality issues but also efficiency of inverters. Particularly, different inverter topologies have been analyzed and those topologies have been tested with sinusoidal pulse width modulation and vector space modulation techniques in terms of total harmonic distortion, voltage changes and efficiency of inverters. Depending on the analysis results, the effects of inverter topologies and modulation techniques on power quality are presented in the grid-connected photovoltaic system.

In the estimation study, the first and second order curve fitting coefficients of the measured temperature, pressure, humidity and solar radiation parameters together with the wind speed are used. In the estimation process, before these coefficients are applied directly to the NARX network structure, the most suitable features are selected with ReliefF method to minimize the MSE value. The number of delay steps in the NARX network structure is varied from 3 to 15 and the number of hidden neurons is varied from 3 to 15 to obtain model parameters that give the least estimation error. In order to determine the performance of the obtained model, the model is evaluated in terms of statistical error criteria such as MAE, MSE and RMSE. The model parameters and features matrix giving the least estimation error for the wind speed estimation of the NARX network structure are determined. It has been observed that this approach provides a high performance for estimating the wind speed with related to other measured parameters.

Therefore the analysis of the reliability of an energy system is very important. In order to be able to perform reliability analysis, it is necessary to be known frequency of faults (λ), mean time between failures (m) and average failure elimination time (r) in the previous working period of the system. These data can be obtained on a yearly basis by the compilation of the fault data. Reliability analysis can be done by using the analytical method. So mathematical model is used. However, it is difficult to solve the reliability problems of great and complex systems analytically. The Monte Carlo Simulation, written in Matlab programming language, makes it possible to analyze great and complex systems easily. Internationally accepted reliability indexes (SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, ASAI) are obtained as the output data of the program. The frequency of faults (λ), mean time between failures (m), average failure elimination time (r) and information such as consumer number, line length, transformer number and drawed power are inputs. When the output datas compared with the internationally accepted values, information about the reliability of the system is obtained. In this paper, reliability analysis is performed by using Monte Carlo Simulation by utilizing real time data in Atakum Samsun Distribution System. SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, ASAI reliability indexes are obtained and they are compared with internationally accepted values. It is seen that this system is safe and sustainable.

There are ground type inverters and plane type inverters for supplying the avionics. The inverters which are used in the planes are called static inverters and they work at a 400hz frequency. 400hz frequency is used in aero planes basically for reducing the size of the electronic elements. Also using a higher frequency may require thicker and naturally heavier wiring. So 400hz is the general frequency used in planes. There are negative effects of using high frequencies for energy transmission The disadvantage of working at 400 Hz is that high frequency systems will probably endure voltage drops. The most critical of these losses comes about because of reactive losses. Reactive drops are brought on by the inductive properties of the leading links or wires through which the electrical current is transmitted. This kind of drawback is influenced both by the length of the conductor and in addition the frequency of the influence coursing through it. As frequency expands, the bigger the voltage drop gets to be. At a high frequency of 400 Hz, reactive drops can be as much as seven circumstances bigger than at a low frequency of 60 Hz. Also reactive loads may cause PF problems for the inverter used. PF problems can be solved easily by using a current source inverter. Current source inverters are not widely used because of their bulky DC Link inductor. However, the DC link inductor can be minimized thanks to the 400Hz system. Without the bulky inductor, Current Source Inverter can be very small, stable, redundant and efficient for the avionics. In this paper, a 400hz current source inverter with a airplane battery input and 115V output will be simulated and presented.

This is because, different illuminations cause very large changes in the image. Therefore, in many applications, illumination differences are tried to be removed. There can be found many studies, related to removing the illumination component by decomposing it from image in the literature. Some of these studies are related to image segmentation, extracting accurate colour of objects, object colour changing, image watermarking, illumination transferring between images, image enhancement, intrinsic image decomposition, illumination normalization and etc. In this paper we tried to gather current studies relevant to decompose illumination component of an image. Thus researchers are given the opportunity to compare and see the differences between different methods.

The loss of function in the nerve cells leads to weakness and eruption (atrophy) in the muscles. This situation eliminates the movement functions so patients need the assistance of a companion. Although there are limitations of the movement, the consciousness levels of ALS patients are not different from healthy individuals, and studies are carried out on the methods that will increase the daily life quality of ALS patients. In this study, Ag / AgCl electrodes were placed around the orbicularis oculi muscles. Electrooculogram (EOG) signals were taken from an instrumentation amplifier with 48dB gain and 107dB CMMR ratio. A 16Hz Low Pass Filter and a 50Hz Notch Filter were used to increase the signal to noise ratio. The EOG signals are digitized with 10bit resolution ADC and applied to ATmega328 microcontroller. So, the software of microcontroller determines the horizontal and vertical movements of the eye. The movement information of the eye was sent to the computer with NRF24L01 transceiver at 2.4GHz operating frequency and 9.6Kb/s data transmission speed. In this way, the interactive PC software was controlled by the EOG signals. An EOG-based interactive software developed using the C # programming language has provided patients' daily requirements, and social media accounts, etc. The system has been tested on healthy subjects and it has been seen that people can control the software by eye movements. As a result, system will be useful not only for ALS patients, but also for permanent or partially bedridden patient (MS, Hemiplegia, etc.) groups. Moreover, while the quality of life in the patients' own environment is being raised, they will also be able to benefit from health services within the scope of home health services.

In addition to high power consumption, due to the rapidly changing nonlinear characteristic of the EAF loads in the transmission line supply transformers, step-down transformers are necessary to design them in accordance with the pulse operating conditions. Although special designs are made for these transformers, these designs are sometimes insufficient to protect the transformers. The three-phases system model of the transmission line feeding the Sivas Iron and Steel Works CO. (SIDEMIR) plant was modeled with the help of Matlab / Simulink. In this model, electrical arc has been determined as mathematically by used the exponential-hyperbolic model and real time measurement data with HIOKI 3197 PQ analyzer. Because of the failure occurring in 2012, Step-Down transformer has failed and becomes unusable. For this reason, Transformer protection system have been developed for step-down transformer in case of failure with designed differential relay in three phases simulation model for the transformer is not damaged in case of a similar fault and the same problems are not experienced in similar plants to prevent damage to the transformer in case of a similar fault. In the studies presented in the literature, differential relays have not been evaluation of their performance in high-power nonlinear loads such as arc furnaces. With these simulation model, the performance of the differential relay designed to protect the transformer was evaluated by examining the variations in one phase ground fault, phase-phase fault and three phase ground fault. Simulation results are shown that the applied differential relay can be used to protect the Step-Down transformer feeding the EAF loads.

Collecting data for this problem is expensive and time consuming. At this point, simulation is a very powerful tool. The target data can be generated by means of simulation with system models under some assumptions. By destroying some measurements as missing measurements and adding modeled extra clutter measurements, the measurement data can be obtained. Then, a feasible tracker can be developed for this problem. This tracker will probably work smoothly with real data. In this paper, the aim was to study maneuvering target tracking by simulated motion data of multiple vehicles on an intersection. Different situations such as straight acceleration, turning and waiting at the traffic lights have been considered. Simulated vehicles are tracked by a tracking algorithm that combines Interacting Multiple Model for maneuvers and Global Nearest Neighbor Filter for data association. A tracker is successfully developed for this problem by using those algorithms.

Istanbul, Turkey, May 9-12, 2017 142 International Conference on Advanced Technology & Sciences (ICAT’17) INVESTIGATION OF CURRENT AND VOLTAGE FLUCTUATIONS IN ELECTRIC ARC FURNACES WITH THE HELP OF PROBABILITY THEORY MUSTAFA SEKER1, ARIF MEMMEDOV2, MURAT CIKAN1, HULYA DOGAN1, SERDAR KOCKANAT1 1 Cumhuriyet University, Turkey; 2 Inonu University, Turkey ABSTRACT Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) are non-linear loads which have the greatest power, cause electric power quality problems in electrical networks. Due to the nonlinear nature of the electric arc furnace, they are characterized by rapid changes in the current and owing to these rapid changes, the voltage and frequency are also variable. Determination of the Mathematical modeling of this variability is very difficult. Analysis of stochastic processes with probability methods are allowed that essential information to be indicate with a small number of characteristics separately about physical phenomena using experimental data without considering their physical process. These characteristics have been arbitrary load variation and allow analysis of EAF loads. In this study, Power quality problems of Electrical Arc Furnace power which have 60 MVA power at the Sivas Iron and Steel Company (SIDEMIR) facility were recorded with the help of the 8332B power quality analyzer. Using obtained experimental data, the propagation of current fluctuations is determined by the probability theory with the determination of the statistical and correlation function of current and voltage in the melting processes of electric arc furnaces. The results show that determination dispersion of current fluctuations of electric arc furnaces for whole boundary value limits in EAF which gets its maximum value of current,heat and efficiency will provide when its optimized value are chosen.Probability results are shown that nominal high voltage short circuit current can reach 2.12 times the nominal current. This rate must be taken into account for transformer protection.

As the requirements of the applications change, DFT implementations evolved accordingly to meet them. This paper presents a serial-data-inparallel-coefficients-out approach where input data is a stream and transform results are generated all in parallel fashion. Such an implementation may find use in spectrum analysis applications. One may argue that employing a serial-to-parallel converter structure at the input of a parallel-to-parallel algorithm would solve the problem with a small price. On the other hand, when the data is presented in a stream, FFT buildingblocks (butterflies) become redundant and their utilization is very low. There exists a number of serial-to-serial (pipelining) FFT implementations with high hardware utilization, but they output transform data in serial form. We solved serial-to-parallel problem within FFT structure by eliminating redundant butterflies and switching intermediate data to registers, generating output data in parallel with some latency which is lower than that of pipelining implementations.

Disc-shaped acrylamide gels were prepared from acrylamide (AAm) with various N, N’ methylenebis (acrylamide) (Bis) contents as crosslinker in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator by free-radical crosslinking copolymerization (FCC) in water. Polyacrylamide (PAAm) gels dried before using for swelling experiments. Pyrene was introduced as a fluorescence probe. Fluorescence lifetime of pyrene from various BIS content gel samples was measured during in situ swelling process. It was observed that fluorescence lifetime decreased as swelling has proceeded. Gravimetrical and volumetrical experiments were also performed. Li-Tanaka equation was used to determine the swelling time constants, T and cooperative diffusion coefficients, Dc from intensity, weight and volume variations during the swelling processes. It was observed that swelling time constants, T increased and diffusion coefficients, Dc decreased as the crosslinker content was increased. We also developed a computer programme for the calculation of cooperative diffusion coefficient, Dc automatically for any choosen BIS content, based on the experimental outcomes.

So, there is a great number of investigations about screening, diagnosing and treating the breast cancer. Among these studies, determining the boundaries of lesion is of great importance for radiologists. Automatic detection of small lesions that can’t be detected with the naked eye and marking the borders of lesions provide supportive information to the radiologists in the diagnosis and treatment process of cancer. In this study, it is aimed to determine the boundaries of lesions using Otsu thresholding and Fuzzy c-means (FCM) methods in breast magnetic resonance (MR) images taken after contrast agent uptake. As a measure of success, the overlap between the lesion boundaries obtained by manual segmentation and automatic segmentation is used. In the first experiment, % 87 success was achieved by applying the Otsu thresholding method. Furthermore, in the second experiment FCM method which is widely used for similar purposes in the literature, is utilized. The performance measure for this method is obtained as % 91. According to the comparative simulation results the performance attained by adjusting the number of clusters in the FCM method are very close to the results obtained by manual segmentation.

BPSK modulation scheme, 1024 subcarriers, 512 OFDM symbols, Nc/4 cycling extended guard interval, 100 MHz transmission bandwidth were used in simulations. The pilot separation was varied from 4th, 8th, 16th for regular placement, while the number and the positions of pilots determined according to local maxima and minima of the channels’ transfer function for irregular placement. Channels state information was obtained through linear regression for all placements. The loss in Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) due to pilot symbol usage was considered while assessing the BER performances. It is seen from the results that, irregular pilot placement shows similar or better performance with regular placement considering both BER and bandwidth efficiency. With the use of irregular pilot placement bandwidth efficiency can be improved up to 99%. KEYWORDS - OFDM; Channel estimation; Regular/Irregular pilot placement; Frequency selective channel.

Difficult and time-consuming tasks for people can now be accomplished quickly and precisely with digital image processing techniques and computer vision applications. In this study, a system was developed to classify structures such as bitumen and aggregate in asphalt concrete materials with the help of digital image processing techniques. First, images of asphalt material samples were obtained under controlled lighting conditions with a standard RGB camera. Imaging process was realized in a closed environment that blocks the ambient light and has its own lighting system. The RGB images are converted to grayscale with a set of special conversion coefficients. The coefficients required for this transformation are calculated with utilizing the Particle Swarm optimization algorithm under a condition that the average contrast level between bitumen and aggregate is maximized. Then, the aggregate and the bitumen are segmented by a simple thresholding algorithm from the gray level images obtained as a result of this conversion. The threshold level required for the segmentation is calculated by the Otsu algorithm. Obtained classification results are encouraging such that the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity values are over 90%, 70%, and 90%, respectively.

Thus, this paper proposed a method of using an adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to model and predict current-voltage curve of Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) for thermal annealing process. The Ni/n-GaAs/In Schottky barrier diodes was produced in the laboratory and the current-voltage characteristic of the Schottky diode were measured from 200 C to 600 C with steps of 100 C. In this approach, ANFIS model includes three input parameters. These parameters are temperature, voltage and current and they were used for training of the ANFIS model. A hybrid grid partitioning ANFIS by Generalized Bell membership function was employed for the training of the experimental data. The current-voltage data from 200 C to 500 C were used to train ANFIS model. In order to test the accuracy of the ANFIS model, estimated and experimental current-voltage data for 600 C were graphically compared. Also, from scatter diagram, the fitting curve of the data is y=0,995x-0,091, so the rate of slope and intercept are very close to one and zero. That is to say, the predicted values are very near to the experimental values. The results shows that the ANFIS model is an efficient model and can be used to predict for current-voltage curve of the Schottky barrier diode for different annealing temperature.

The microstrip patch antenna achieves this requirement, but the main problem of these antennas is how to design a miniature antenna for wireless communication with high quality service. For this aim, the artificial materials; such as metamaterials and electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures, are used to design and fabricated a miniature microstrip antenna with high performances. In this work, a microstrip patch antenna printed on FR4-Epoxy dielectric and excited by a probe feed is designed and simulated in the first part. Secondly we applied a circular mushroom-EBG structure on the dielectric substrate of this antenna, which contributed to obtain a much miniaturized antenna, (the size of the antenna decreased intensively about 60%). The comparison between the microstrip antenna with and without EBG structure is made on the basis of different characteristics, such as bandwidth, return loss and the size. Due to presence of EBG structure in the dielectric substrate, the electromagnetic band gap form that reduced the surface waves and increases the overall dielectric constant. As a result an improved band width antenna, better impedance matching and reduced size are achieved.

The purpose is to determine a small change in the desired switching frequency yielding a lower THD. In the simulations, the load fed by the MC consists of a resistor and an inductive reactance. For a fair comparison with constant current amplitude, the reactance is chosen constant. Each simulation is carried on changing the switching frequency with a small step through a wide frequency range. It is discovered that the SVM method usually ends up with less THDs at irregular switching frequencies whilst the Optimum Venturini method yields less THDs at regular steps in the switching frequency. Therefore the Optimum Venturini method can be safely preferred for lower THDs as described here.

When the design power reaches hundreds of kW then the core material selection will be more important. Gapped-core structure is the key to provide inductance stability when the inductor is designed with alloy core materials. Besides the total air gap length, determining the number of gaps is also important to fulfil the requirement of minimizing the fringing effects caused by the two or multiple (distributed) air gaps. In this study, the losses and the inductance variation of the PFC inductor designed at a certain power and inductance values are analyzed comparatively with respect to different gapped-core structures. Different inductor models have been developed with different air gap configurations and electromagnetic modelling and analysis of them have been performed with the finite element analysis software, and the obtained simulation results have been reported. It is seen from the simulation results that distributed air-gap provides better results in terms of inductance stability, roll-off values and total power losses.

Microstrip antennas are preferred in many applications because of their small size, easy production and low cost, but they have low gain characteristics. Various techniques are used to increase gain in UWB microstrip antennas. Some of them are concentrated on attaching a reflective metal layer, frequency selective surface behind the antenna, and directive structures in front of the antenna. With these techniques, the gain can be increased, but high gain cannot be obtained along the radiation frequency band, and the gain at low frequencies will be low. In some applications where UWB antennas are used (e.g., underground imaging radars), constant gain is desired over the frequency band. Therefore, instead of increasing the gain at whole band, gain enhancement at frequency intervals where the gain is low is more appropriate. In order to achieve the aim, band-stop Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) structures that operate at the frequency range at which we want to increase the gain of the antenna can be used. In this study, as a first step, UWB microstrip antenna is designed to operate in the frequency range of 3.1-10.6 GHz. Then, to show the partial gain increase using FSS, a higher order band-stop FSS structure operating at 8-12 GHz band is designed and located to the antenna. Finally, a partial gain increase using high-order FSS is obtained.

The presented method is based on the left and right eigen spaces and the Schur decomposition of the expanded state space matrices of the original fractional order system. The advantage of our method is the fact that it operates in the general case, i.e. for the minimal and non-minimal systems. A simulation on fractional order systems is given which proves that the reduced order models are always stable, and faithfully follow the initial model in the time and the frequency domains.

The simulation of the system has been realized on a computer software. According to simulation results, fuzzy logic controller has maintained to cruise at desired speed of electric vehicle if there is safety distance between host vehicle and leading vehicle. In case of any safety distance between the vehicles, the safety distance is ensured by prevention of acceleration to desired speed. The safety distance has ensured the time gap rule in ISO 15622 which is a standard for adaptive cruise control systems.

Excitation of the Photosensitisier leads cells to the necrosis. After the cell necrosis healthy cells produced by the body and Phtodynamic therapy has a high success rate in soft tissue cancers. In this study, LASER diode based light source system is designed which can radiate at 635nm to excite 5Aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) which is used as PDT synthesizer. Since the current / voltage (I / V) relationship of the laser diodes is exponential and the output power is related to the current passing through the diode, the LASER diodes are driven by the constant current source. In order to improve the performance of the PDT and minimize the thermal damage to the tissue, the light is switched in different modes instead of only in the continuous mode. Thus, the light can reach the instantaneous higher powers and intervene in cancerous cells in deeper regions of the tissue. In pulse and burst-pulse modes based on the switching principle of light, spike voltages are observed in the transient state at the rising edges of the LASER voltage. These high amplitude voltages are damped to prevent damage to the laser diode. In spite of the damping of the spike voltages, a LASER diodes parallel capacitor connection has been tried. However, since this causes the delay of the LASER diode to be delayed, the parallel MOSFET is connected to the LASER diode and the switching time of this MOSFET is being controlled by the microcontroller (DsPic33WP128MC506). Finally, the laser diode voltage is fed back to the analogue digital converter of the microcontroller to provide PID control of the output power.

On the rise of the electromagnetic field, energy transmission and distribution lines, switching points, transformer centers, electrical installations, panels and devices with high power consumption are effective. The effects of power frequency electromagnetic fields emitted from these sources on the living things have always been controversial. While some scientists argue that extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field are not harmful to health, some scientists have argued that those who work on electrical power systems and the people living near those systems have negative health effects by suggesting discomfort such as headache, fatigue, dizziness and sleeplessness. When we look at the history of this subject, until the 1960s, 50-60 Hz magnetic fields were considered to be non-hazardous. In 1979, epidemiological study of Wertheimer and Leeper on the possible negative effects to human health of magnetic fields with extremely low frequencies caught the attention of those working in the field. In that study, it has been reported that power frequency magnetic fields arising from energy transmission lines significantly increase the incidence of blood cancer in children living near the line. Up to now, many epidemiological and biological studies have been conducted on this subject. In addition, community and occupational exposure limit values for harmful electromagnetic emission were determined. These limit values have been adopted by many countries including Turkey. Limit values are determined by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). ICNIRP publishes guidelines for low and high frequency bands, examining possible negative effects of electric and magnetic fields on human health. Non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation at the power frequency passes through the human skin and weakens inside the body. It does not cause the formation of charged ions in the passing part because of the low particle energy. However, where they pass, they cause some effects such as electrical overload, nervous disorders, muscle reactions, dizziness, nausea and cellular malfunction. For this reason, it is necessary to reduce the electromagnetic emission at the power frequency and to draw it below the limit values determined by the international commission. For this, there are many methods such as repositioning of the sources which emit the power frequency electromagnetic field, shielding with conductive and ferromagnetic materials, using active and passive mitigation loop. In this study, a detailed examination will be made on these reduction methods.

We first show that the control designs based on time invariant models are unable to guarantee stability and asymptotic tracking for unstable first order linear systems in general case. So, the condition stability is analysed graphically by computing the first derivative and plotting the graph of a function with precision; the first derivative allows us to determine the critical points and several conditions of stability. Therefore, it’s important to note that the method can guarantee the existence of a proportional gain to ensure the stability of the closed-loop system such that the time delay is small relatively to the time constant. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the efficiency and performances of the proposed approach.

MPTCP has advantages in compatibility with original TCP because it uses option field in TCP protocol. On the other hand, it has the same problem as TCP in wireless network because TCP misinterprets the packet loss due to channel noise or handoff as a congestion, resulting in congestion control and degradation in performance. Thus, if MPTCP protocol is applied in wireless network, loss in a subflow make congestion window decrease and aggregation effect of MPTCP does not occur. In this paper, we propose a congestion control method that measures the bandwidth on each subflow of MPTCP and reduces the size of congestion window by the measured bandwidth when packet loss occurs in order to solve MPTCP performance degradation due to frequent congestion control from high bit loss rate in wireless environment. In order to analyze the performance of the proposed congestion control, we implemented the proposed congestion control in the Linux kernel and compared it with the existing MPTCP in the wireless testbed and the actual wireless network. Experimental results show that the proposed congestion control has better throughput performance than the conventional MPTCP congestion control in wireless environments and furthermore it meets MPTCP design.

Mobile application development, which is one of the new technologies in today's our modern world, continues to rapidly increase its popularity. Many experimental sets, measuring instruments and high cost equipment are used in physics laboratories. Students need to use these laboratory equipment well because all responsibilities of these instruments were largely given to the students. If the laboratory equipment is damaged, education will have a hitch, and this case will also bring high cost to education institutions. Operating the devices in accordance with the user guide is necessary to prevent such undesirable situations. For this reason, students need to be informed about the use of the equipment, and how to do experiments. Considering these situations; a mobile application containing video images, brochures, and animations describing the use of devices found in the physics laboratory. Considering all these situations; a mobile application has been designed that explains the use of devices found in the physics laboratory and includes their video image, brochures, and animations. In this designed mobile application, it is considered that the images, graphics, shapes and texts used are understandable and that the colors used are integrated in the screen. It is also important that the animations and images used are not eye strain and that the view is clear.

Thanks to the possibilities provided by the electronic environment, e-books are supported by electronic contents such audio, music and images. Also, getting feedback in the e-book is easy. In addition, e-books have high storage capacity and it encourages people to read them. Another advantage of the book is that it is accessible for special needs individuals. E-books are usually read by using tools such as tablets and computers which have the necessary software for it. Interaction is defined as the communication between two or more people/ objects, or interaction of two or more persons or objects with each other, or two or more people/objects reacting to each other as a result of a stimulus. The interactive e-book offers much more to learners than a book. The interactive e-book, which is enriched with multimedia elements such as audio, video, animation and has an entirely interactive learning environment, enables more effective and productive learning by drawing learners to the center of the work process. Considering the philosophy of” less is more” that, the most important and brief information about the subject is taught via video. It is thought that understanding of difficult subjects in the field of physics will be understood and persisted through the interactive e-book. Especially, it is aimed to minimize the misconceptions related to electricity. Considering of all this, interactive ebook applications are designed for physics lessons so that students understand the complicated subjects more easily and to help eliminate the misconceptions about them. Adobe InDesign software is used for this design. In this designed mobile application, it is considered that the images, graphics, shapes and texts used are understandable and that the colors used are integrated in the screen. It is important that the images used are not eyestraining and the view is clear. It has taken care of the font is legible in terms of style, color and size. Also, very long texts are not preferred in the designed e-book. Thus, it is ensured that the information to be given becomes more remarkable.

Also, the diode characteristics were presented for pre- and postannealing process using two important electrical parameters ideality factor (n) and barrier height (ϕb). For this purpose, in the first stage, n-GaN films used and were epitaxially grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on c-plane Al2O3 (Saphire) substrates. This crystal grown on by us an undoped GaN layer thickness of 1250 nm was grown followed by the growth of 1350 nm thick n-GaN: Si (Nd = 1.01x1018 cm-3) layer. On the enlarged structure, Schottky contacts were prepared by evaporation deposition of Ni and Au metals. At last, Ni-Au/ n-GaN Schottky diodes were produced. For preannealing process, the I-V characteristics of unannealed prepared devices were measured using a Keithley 487 Picoammeter/Voltage Source in the room temperature. After formation and measurement of the unannealed Schottky diodes, they were annealed at for 1 min in N2 atmosphere. For post-annealing process, the I-V characteristics of annealed Schottky diodes were measured with same measuring instrument. In the second stage, in order to analyze the beneficial effect of thermal annealing process on Ni-Au/ n-GaN Schottky diode, the modified artificial bee colony algorithm has been used in extraction of ideality factor (n) and barrier height (ϕb). For pre-annealing process, ideality factor (n) of 3.5888 and barrier height (ϕb) of 0.5390 eV of were achieved. For post-annealing process, ideality factor (n) of 1.2898 and barrier height (ϕb) of 0.6410 eV of were obtained. The results show that ideality factor decreases while barrier height increases. So, the ideality factor, which is equal to one for ideal diode, moves closer to one and the characteristics of the diodes were improved.

It allows routing traffic efficiently in the network, reduces network congestion and improves performance and efficiency of the Internet. Since MPLS routing supports quality of service, it provides smooth and steady voice transfer. Delivering real time traffic such as video conference doesn’t affect the performance of other applications and provides high security with its data encryption which helps to connect all the branches together in a safely manner. In this paper, we conduct a performance comparison study of two networks which use MPLS and IP routing for voice, video conferencing and web applications using OPNET simulator environment. Jitter, end to end delay, send and received traffic performance criteria are taken into account to compare the performances of two routing strategy. In terms of dropped packets, throughput and jitter, MPLS network provides better results in comparison to IP networks.

The Mott transition refers to the dissolution of these clusters above a certain vapour density (the Mott density). The cluster CM motion has so far been included approximately or at fixed CM momentum in calculations of the Mott density. Often it is neglected altogether due to technical difficulties. In the present work we include the CM motion exactly for clusters up to A = 4 and calculate its effect by averaging over all values of the CM momentum at a given temperature rather than at a fixed value of the CM momentum. We demonstrate that the inclusion of the CM momentum shifts the Mott density to higher values. The shift, however, decreases as the cluster mass increases.

The success of auscultation depends on the hearing ability and experience of the physician who performing the auscultation. In the past, studies were carried out on the automatic recognition of lung sounds to make people independent of their abilities. However, most of these studies have been performed in multi-channel. Auscultation is essentially performed as a single channel. Therefore, in this study, commonly heard lung sounds consisting of healthy, rhonchi, crackles (consist of fine, coarse, and Velcro crackles) were recorded as the single channel. An electronic stethoscope (20-2000Hz) capable of recording in the frequency range suitable for lung sounds and digital sound recorder were used in the recording. All records were taken and labelled by two physicians. The dataset was randomly selected and then equally divided into training and test clusters. This process has been repeated 100 times. The Leave-One-Out Cross-Validation method was applied to the obtained training and test clusters in order to get rid of the random selection problem. Unlike previous studies, time and frequency domain attributes and attributes derived from Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficients (MFCC) were used as features in this study. Support Vector Machine, Naive Bayes, and k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) algorithms were used in the test phase of the classification. The mean and standard deviation of classification results from randomly selected training and test clusters were presented in the results section. After examining the results of each feature, the Sequential Forward Selection method was applied to investigate the success of the appropriate combinations of features. The mean and standard deviations of the MFCC and mean of features obtained from frequency domain is the most successful combination. When this combination was classified by the k-NN algorithm, it gave the most successful result with 96,47%1,94.

Sensors are used in a WSN to monitor physical or environmental conditions. A WSN system incorporates a gateway that provides wireless connectivity back to the wired world and distributed nodes. Accurate and low cost localization is a crucial requirement for wireless sensor networks to be used in a wide variety of applications. Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) localization is one of the widespread methods by virtue of its high estimation accuracy. The TDOA algorithm is guaranteed to find all possible relevant solutions, even when implemented on a computational node with limited capability. In our recent study, Parametric Equation based Hyperbolic Localization Algorithm in 2D space were proposed. In the Parametric Equation based Hyperbolic Localization Algorithm in 2D, two hyperbolic intersection points were found and hyperbolas were rotated clockwise at a certain angle. Uniformly distributed network were used to localize the target nodes while aforementioned algorithm is being run. In this paper, Normal, Rician, Burr and Rayleigh distributed networks is used for localization and the localization performance of the networks are evaluated and compared using MATLAB simulations.

Woolenfelt is a natural material that can be produced at desired thicknesses with low cost and has a lower dielectric constant as 1,45. Owing to easy fabrication and being adaptable to wearable applications, this material is preferred for the design. In addition to be cheaper than other dielectric substrates andfabricated in our country are others reasons for preferring the material as square-shape substrate of Seljuk star antenna. All designs are fed by using coaxial feedline. The designs are improved by HFSS. While simulations are repeated for patch dimensions, ground plane and substrate dimensions, the feed point and the thickness of the dielectric substrate one by one for each parameter at a time, so the effects of these parameters on antenna performance can be exhibited clearly. At the end of the study more than one design are obtained that can be used for wearable ISM band applications. These designs resonate near and at 2400 MHz with a bandwidth over % 35. For the best design, thanks to its under -50 dB S11 result, it can be used in practical applications on human body. Ground plane and substrate thickness dimensions are reduced by 60% and 49%, respectively. The empedance bandwidth is enhanced to 47,03% with optimizations. The design is simple and easy fabricated with low cost so it can find place in nowadays mobile and wearable applications. KEYWORDS - Seljuk star, patch antenna, HFSS, ISM, wearable applications.

In recent times, it is necessary to use UAV swarm in more complex tasks such as multi-target tracking and tracking, multi-purpose task coordination and strategic objectives identification. Coordination of UAV swarm requires very complex control, planning, communication, and computation. In this study, a comparison study is presented for the optimization and control algorithms that can be used for coordinated task planning of UAV swarm. Basically, the coordination process of UAV swarm consists of an optimization algorithm for task planning and a decision-making approach for cooperation. For this purpose, the performance and the performance of the optimization algorithms were first compared in the study. Then, comparative results for different scenarios are given for task planning in the study. From the optimization algorithms that can be used for task planning of UAV swarm, the performance of particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, artificial immune systems and hybrid algorithms are tested for the targeted study and the results are presented.

These power quality disturbances used in this study are voltage sag and swell. They are two common type power quality disturbances. 50Hz pure sine as a reference, voltage sag and voltage swell are generated at MATLAB in order to extract feature vector of pure sine, voltage sag and voltage swell. Sampling period is 25.6 kHz. Firstly, discrete wavelet transform is applied to these power quality disturbances and 50Hz pure sine. 12 level Daubechies-4 wavelet function are used. Parseval theorem is applied to wavelet coefficients for obtaining energy distribution of detail coefficients of these relevant disturbances in different resolution levels. Energy distrubution of detail coefficients of constituted power quality disturbances and pure sine are obtained. Pure sine coefficients are considered as a reference. It is seen that voltage sag, voltage swell and pure sine can be distinguished when examineing energy distrubution of detail coefficients. Also data size can be reduced in small size. Then amplitudes of voltage swell and sag are incresed. It is observed increased in detail coefficients which are important for these power quality disturbances. Energy coefficients of power quality disturbances and amplitude of power quality disturbances are in direct propotion.

The proposed method has previously been successfully applied to EEG classification. This encouraged the authors to adapt this scheme in order to discriminate between lies and truth in speech signals. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time that such a methodology has been applied in deception detection. The proposed methodology initially applies the spectrogram method to convert the input speech signal to a time-frequency image; after which, GLCM descriptors are extracted. Liblinear SVM classifier is employed to classify the input speech signals as lies or truth. The efficiency of the proposed method is tested with a real-life dataset. The obtained results are encouraging, with classification accuracy reported at almost 10% higher than previously reported results.

Because of this optical and electrical properties, ZnO thin films were preferable for electronics, optoelectronics, sensors, semiconductor devices, electronic circuits and devices, especially in solar cells and thin film transistor (TFT) applications. In this study, we present the optical and structural properties of ZnO thin films, which we have deposited on glass substrates in our laboratory by using PLD technique at room temperature under oxygen (O2) ambient gas environment. An Nd:YAG laser was used for ablation process connected to a homemade PLD vacuum chamber which was design by our group and produced in local industrial area in Konya. The optical, electrical and surface properties of the ZnO thin films produced were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) absorption spectroscopy. As a result, PLD system has a great flexibility to adjust its parameters, therefore, we used these parameters to fabricate ZnO thin film. This parameters will be referred to further studies like the solar cell and the TFT applications. KEYWORDS - PLD, ZnO, TFT, Thin Film.

The majority of the studies on speaker recognition demonstrates the results obtained from databases consisting of English voice. Since there are very few studies on Turkish speech, the speaker recognition performance of the known successful methods on Turkish spoken language are uncertain. Therefore, in this study, the performance of the Turkish text - dependent speaker verification system is investigated using well-known Gaussian Mixture Model - Universal Background Model (GMM - UBM) method. A Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for each speaker is derived from the Universal Background Model (UBM) with maximum a Posteriori (MAP) adaptation. The impact of the language used to train the UBM is considered in this study. To this end, UBMs are trained using Turkish and English speech databases and their effects on the performance of Turkish speaker verification system are compared. Experiments are conducted on Turkish text-dependent speaker verification database using two well-known feature extraction techniques, Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) and Modified Group Delay cepstral coefficients (MGDC). Experimental results reveal that training the UBM model using Turkish data considerably improves the equal error rate (EER) of text-dependent speaker recognition in comparison to English data and magnitude spectrum based MFCC features outperforms the phase spectrum based MGDC features.

Such as; fiber optic communication systems, laser resonator frequency selective mirrors, electro optic modulators, and electro optic tunable filters. This work targets towards optimizing the properties and performance of multilayered Mg – based guided mode resonance filter in terms of resonance efficiency, sidebands effects, and resonance bandwidths, while additional layers are introduced. The effects of varying the parameters of the grating such as its thickness, period, and duty cycle, also the effects of changing the number, location and thicknesses of the additional layers were investigated and optimized by means of rigorous – coupled wave analysis (RCWA). The most interesting things about the multilayered Mg – based guided mode resonance filter are its simplicity, compactness, integration of other sensing systems, and possibility of growth of all layers in one process. The spectral sensitivity of the filter for both the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarization modes were estimated and compared for various regions in the spectrum. A spectral response characterized with narrow bandwidth and low reflection sidebands was realized by carrying out extensive parameter search and optimization. The most interesting thing in our results is that one can design a GMR filter with a specific wavelength and linewidth, also the existence of the buffer layer gives us more ability to control the thickness of the grating and the waveguide.

This study helps to fill information gap about the effects of voltage recovery after the voltage sags on the fluorescent lamps by providing detailed analysis. Varied voltage sag magnitudes and durations were applied to the test circuits by using California Instruments 4500LX programmable power source. Tests were performed on selected equipments such that voltage sags tend not to damage them. Data sets were recorded by Scopemeter 199-C. Obtained data sets were analysed by using MATLAB programme. The test results showed that at the instant of the voltage recovery, there may be a current spike in the illuminating system. Evaluating the test results, some special conditions have been identified that cause the inrush current to reach its maximum level.

This psychiatric illness with hypomanic and depressive mood can be modelled as limit cycle oscillator. Artificial sweetener like Aspartame (ASP), which has neurologic and behavioral effects on animals, induces the bipolar disorder-like behavioral properties on rats. In this study, mood changes of rats exposed to intraperitoneal ASP injections in 8 different sessions at following dosages: 50 mg/kg/day, 100 mg/kg/day and 200 mg/kg/day have been investigated. Open Field Test (OFT) is implemented to determine the bipolar disorder behaviors of animals. In order to interpret the chaotic moods of bipolar disorder a sliding-mode observer (SMO) has been designed. The advantage of the estimation unmeasurable moods is that provides us the knowledge of which bipolar disorder mood the rat is in and helps to understand the future moods of rats. According to the observation results after the ASP injection, considerable increases were observed in grooming values as OFT results were monitored, while considerable decreases were observed in line crossing and rearing activities after ASP injections.

Firstly, the deposition of tris (2,2’-bipyridine) ruthenium (II)-complex thin film on p-Si substrate by spin coating technique was presented. The Ru (II) was directly formed by casting 5 mL of the 0.001 M Ru (II) solution in alcohol on the front surface of the p-Si substrate and then spin coating the solution onto the Si substrate, which was rotated at 1000 rpm/min for 30 s and then dried for 60 min at room temperature in order to remove the solvent. The electrical and photovoltaic properties of the Al /tris (2,2’-bipyridine) Ru (II) complex/p-Si were investigated both under dark and under 100 mW/cm2 illumination level, using forward and reverse bias current-voltage (I-V) room temperature. Secondly, modified artificial bee colony (MABC) algorithm has been employed to calculate the electrical parameters and series resistance (Rs), ideality factor (n) and barrier height (ϕb) are identified 13.80 Ω, 1.44 and 0.84 eV, respectively. Compared to other conventional methods that find Rs of 14.43 Ω, n of 1.42 and ϕb of 0.84 eV, proposed method based MABC algorithm is very efficient and quickly technique to estimate the electrical parameters of the fabricated photodiode.

LEACH can be applied with minimum system resources in a distributed manner. The LEACH algorithm selects cluster heads randomly with a certain probability. The probability of being cluster head for a node depends on how many times it is selected as a cluster head. Therefore, remaining energy of nodes in network may not be homogeneous across the network. The proposed method uses Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the probability of being elected as cluster head in a distributed manner. According to simulation results the proposed method can extend network lifetime.

All of these can exist by integrating communications infrastructure to the traditional grid which enable to provide data acquisition, protection, and control qualifications. Due to the power grid is already distributed over a large area, utilization of the existing infrastructure as a communication medium - power line communication - will be a wise choice. Therefore, it is necessary to know the behavior of each element in the grid as a communication medium. Transmission line characteristics of cables are a well-established subject with the help of recent power line communication studies. On the other hand, busbar distribution systems which are used to carry electrical energy as a part of low voltage grid have differed from cables at installation requirements, physical and electrical properties. Thus, modeling busbar distribution system as a transmission line is a necessity for the sake of completeness in this research area. At this point, the modeling approach is a powerful method to obtain the primary line parameters of a transmission line by using an optimization algorithm according to some objective functions that utilize measurements such as S-parameters. In this study, Nelder-Mead, genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithms which are commonly preferred methods in the literature are compared for the aspect of obtaining accurate busbar transmission line parameters in 1-50 MHz frequency band. The comparisons are conducted under same conditions such as parameter search range and objective function definition at the point of convergence rate, runtime, number of iterations, and the number of function evaluations. According to the numerical results, particle swarm optimization method is the most efficient algorithm for the extraction of busbar transmission line parameters.

Inverter systems rely on accurate and fast detection of the phase angle, the amplitude and the frequency of the utility voltage to guarantee the correct generation of the reference signals. This is also required by the relevant industrial standards affecting distributed generation systems. Recently, several advanced phase-locked loop (PLL) techniques have been proposed for single-phase applications. This paper presents performance investigation a multi phaselocked-loop (PLL) method which generates the orthogonal voltage system using a structure based on a second order generalized integrator (SOGI). The advantages of this PLL include simple implementation independent of the grid frequency and avoidance of filtering delays due to its resonance at the fundamental frequency. The solutions for the discrete implementation of the structure generating the orthogonal system are presented. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method under distorted conditions by comparing Dual-SOGI and SOGI PLLs performances.

For this purpose, we use their Electrooculogram (EOG) signals obtained from EOG goggles completely designed by the authors. Through designed EOG goggles, vertical-horizontal eye movements and voluntary blink detection are verified by using 5 Ag-AgCl electrodes located around the eyes. EOG signals utilized to control wheelchair motion by applying signal processing techniques. The main steps of signal processing phase are preprocessing, maximum-minimum value detection and classification, respectively. At first, preprocessing step is used to amplify and smooth EOG signals. In maximum-minimum value detection we obtain maximum and minimum voltage levels of the eye movements. Furthermore, we determine the peak time of blink to distinguish voluntary blinks from involuntary blinks. Finally, at classification step k-Nearest Neighboring (k-NN) technique is applied to separate eye movement signals from each other. Several computer simulations are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed EOG based wheelchair control system. According to the results, proposed system can communicate paralyzed people with their wheelchair and by this way they will be able to move by their selves.

In this study wireless power system structure is researched. And electromagnetic analysis of fundamental system is analyzed by FEM. In wireless power transmission systems (WPT), spiral shaped coils are commonly used. At this method two coils can be used. One of them works as a transmitter and the other works as a receiver coil. In this study, unlike this extensive method, a transformer approach is been implemented. Therefore transmitter and receiver coils are applied to primary and secondary windings. Core structure is divided into two parts. One of the parts is used as a transmitter side core and the other is considered as a receiver side core. Steel laminations are used as a core material. In addition to that, at WPT systems with a high frequency signals is needed for higher efficiencies. So, to realize that ferrite core which provides higher frequency range than steel core, is been applied to the design too. As a side effect of higher frequency, skin effect that can be come across at primary and secondary windings. Therefore these situations considered, and conducting materials has been chosen according to that. Primary and secondary side cores’ geometric shapes determined and conductors applied to this cores by entering number of turns. Analyzes are done at different distances and input output powers are obtained at no-load and full-load states. According to that, efficiency up to 20% is achieved. Distance arranged different values up to a 100 mm. At the beginning an input signal arranged to a 220 V 50 Hz, after that this values arranged different values, and results are obtained. When input signal arranged to Turkey’s network values, at 5mm distance, about 145W transfer obtained. For more efficient transfer, at the external circuit passive circuit elements can be applied. At the suggested method, proposed design is a new approach for wireless power transmission.

So, they have been extensively studied and applied in many applications, such as sensors, light-emitting diodes, thin film transistors, photodetectors and solar cells. Microwave-assisted chemical bath deposition (MW-CBD) was used to deposit zinc oxide nanorods (ZnO-NRs) films by using different microwave irradiation time (5, 8 and 10 min). The films exhibit a good crystallinity having a hexagonal wurtzite phase formation. An increase in the microwave irradiation time improved the structural quality of ZnO-NRs. ZnO-NRs which grew perpendicular to the surface were detected by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and it was identified the effect of microwave irradiation time on the densities and orientations of nanorods. The p-Si/n-ZnO-NRs heterojunction photodiodes were fabricated. The currentvoltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements were taken with KEITHLEY 4200SCS and SIGNATONE Probe Station. The intensity of illumination measurements was carried out using a solar simulator (SCIENCETECH). The I-V of these photodiodes were investigated under dark and different illumination intensity. An increase in the reverse current with increasing illumination intensity confirmed that the fabricated photodiodes exhibited a photoconducting behavior. The diode parameters of the photodiodes determined using different methods. In addition, the existence of interface states and series resistance values of the photodiodes were determined from C-V measurements. The obtained all results suggest that the p-Si/n-ZnO-NRs photodiodes can be used as a sensor in the optoelectronic applications.

The pure or doped ZnO films can be deposited by several methods. The sol gel method is one of the most commonly used method for preparation of transparent and conducting oxides owing to its simplicity, safety, non-vacuum system of deposition and hence inexpensive method for large area coatings. In this work, undoped and manganese doped ZnO films have been prepared onto n-Si substrate by facile sol gel method using spin coating technique. The precursor sol was spin coated with a speed of 3000 rpm for 30 s onto the n-Si. Then the films were dried at 300 oC for 10 min. This coating/drying procedure was repeated for ten times before the film was inserted into a tube furnace and annealed at 700 oC in air for 2 h. The effects of Mn doping level on the structural, morphological and optical properties of Mn doped ZnO films were investigated by means of XRD, FESEM and UV spectrophotemeter, respectively. XRD analysis revealed that the films are polycrystalline in nature and consist of single phase ZnO (zincite phase) with wurtzite structure. The crystallinity was changed with increasing Mn concentration. The structural parameters are determined. The diffuse reflectance spectra of the Mn doped ZnO films deposited on n-Si substrate were measured and the optical band gaps of them were determined using the reflectance spectra by means of Kubelka-Munk function.

ZnO is n-type semiconductor with wide band gap of 3.37 eV and large exciton binding energy of 60 meV at room temperature. Undoped and doped ZnO can be deposited using various techniques. The microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis (MW-HTS) is one of the most important methods to prepare the nanopowder due to simple and cost effective technique. Compared with conventional methods, microwave irradiation requires very short reaction times, produces small inorganic particles with narrow particle size distributions, and consumes low energy. In this study, undoped and different doped (Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu) and Magnesium (Mg); 1%) ZnO nanopowders were synthesized via MW-HTS. The effect of Fe, Cu and Mg content on the structural, morphological and optical properties of ZnO nanopowders was investigated. To investigate the crystalline structure and the orientation of the ZnO nanopowders, XRD patterns were used. All of the nanopowders have polycrystalline in nature with (101) orientation. The lattice parameters and texture coefficient values of the nanopowders were determined. Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) was used to analyze the surface morphology of all the ZnO nanopowders. The molecular bonding characterization of these nanopowders was also determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

In order to observe Es within a day; long term (24 hour) E measurement was conducted at the location where the highest Eavg value was recorded. The maximum recorded E is 3.75 V/m, the mean E is 2.76 V/m while the standard deviation is 0.40 V/m for long term measurement. Analysis of 24 hour measurement results for four specific time interval such as morning, afternoon, evening and night show that the mean E value for morning is 2.53 V/m, while 3.03 V/m, 3.04 V/m and 2.42 V/m for afternoon, evening and night respectively. Evening E level increases by 25.6 % compared to night E level. At the end of the study daily variations of E value was examined and an empirical model were proposed using curve fitting method. With the use of this model the E in the medium can be predicted with an accuracy of 90%.

This is particularly important in 3D face reconstruction from one or more face images. The literature provides several established methods to recover a single lighting vector. Problem is reduced into two parts as the tilt and slant angles of the illuminant, in general. In this paper, we provide an experimental analysis of the common methods and shown that given algorithms predict the former at a high success rate while this is not the case for the latter. Outcomes of the conducted experiments are discussed and methods for improvements are proposed.

At the beginning, 3D printer technology was used in prototype and mold production. However ongoing years this technology has started to be used for final product manufacturing. With the help of 3D printers, manufacturing cost of the some end-products significantly decreased. The all production process for 3D printers is completed according to the files created on the computer. This significantly decreased the manufacturing cost of the some end-products. This new technology also results in emerging different models for measuring the performance of raw materials used in FDM 3D printers.

Robots have a control box named as teach pendant that is used to programming robot motions and moving robot to desired positions. The robot can be set to teach mode and the current position can be got by teach pendant. The movement of robot is provided by using the keys on the teach pendant. It is not easy to perform a robot by using keys. It requires expertness. This paper proposes to design a 3-axis joystick to manipulate the robot instead of teach pendant. A 3-axis Joystick with button, an Arduino Uno and an ethernet shield are used. The Ethernet protocol is used to connection between the joystick and the robot controller. The obtained joystick controller manipulates the robot into three axes and provides gripper control. The manipulation of a robot via 3D joystick is easier than by using teach pendant.

Industrial robot collision control and management is one of the most significant points in multi-robot production cell in all of the automotive industry. If robot collisions are not configured with the right methodology, then they can impact production cycletimes, cause robot crashes and breakdowns, spare part consumption and even result in severe injuries. Typically, two types of methods are used for industrial robot collisions programming; the first method is offline programming before robot installation and the second method is online programming during robot commissioning. However, these two methods are not the exact solution for robot collision control and management for multirobot production cells. We proposed a new collision management method for modelling robot kinematic on the PLC (programming logic controller) by getting all axis positions data from all robots in multi-robot production cell and then calculating the actual dynamic TCP (tool center point) for each robot. This method makes it possible PLC to know all robots’ actual and auxiliary TCP positions on the robot body and create dynamic work space zones to manage all robot collisions in the same cell. Using proposed methodology, it is possible to improve production cycle time, efficiency, breakdowns of robot and safety functions in multi robot production cells.

All of the models have same stator and rotor slot geometry only difference between models are their rotor slot distance from the rotor core. In analysis, a single phase, 2 pole, 96 W, 220 V with capacitor start-capacitor run induction motor was used. For each rotor slot model, electrical performance characteristic included speed, efficiency, current, torque and power factor (PF), the distribution of the magnetic field density on different location on motors and current density on all of the rotor slot were examined.

A modal analysis of the blade is realized and natural frequencies of the blade are derived analytically, numerically and experimentally. The analytical model of the blade element for control design is obtained by using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. In a control system, different control specifications should be satisfied at the same time. Norm based linear control approaches have some distinct advantages. While Hinfinity control mainly enforces the robust stability, H2 control improves the transient behavior of the control system. The multiobjective H2/Hinfinity control combines both design objectives. It is an advantage that both frequency and time domain specifications are performed in vibration control of the distributed parameter systems. In this paper, three different H2/Hinfinity controllers are designed by introducing a multiplicative uncertainty which represents unmodeled highfrequency dynamics in the control system. The designed controllers are realized in experiments and performances of the controllers are compared using frequency and time domain responses.

The method generates a set of coefficients for each sub-band of the 3D-DWT. The fuzzy inference model uses energy, entropy, and standard deviation values of each sub-band as inputs and generates coefficients as output. Fuzzy membership functions and rules are determined by analysis and experiments performed on Brainweb MRI image database. Experiments are evaluated with MSE, PSNR and SSIM. It was observed that using fuzzy logic inference system improved the results obtained by w-3D-DWT.

Proposed PA array has a dualband spectral response and the locations of resonances can be adjusted by varying the geometrical dimensions of the structure. Nearly unity absorbance is obtained from the PA array for both resonances. Absorbance characteristics of PA array are analyzed by using finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. High near-field enhancement is achieved by the interaction of the sharp corners of triangular nanoparticles. Due to the nearly unity absorbance and high near-field enhancements the proposed dual-band PA array with adjustable spectral responses can be useful for bio-sensing applications in mid-infrared regime.

These developments have facilitated the use and construction of biotelemetry systems. At this point, the patient can be traced from his home by the biotelemetry system designed, instead of constantly going to and from the hospital. With the help of the sensors on the system, the desired values are obtained about the patients and transferred to the necessary individuals. It is important for nurses and doctors to have access to patient-related information on an ongoing basis. In this study, an Arduino based Patient Tracking System was developed for the online monitoring and storage of data related to patients in need of care. With the developed system, the data received by the sensors can be monitored in any environment and at any time through an internet connection. The data belonging to the patient can be instantly evaluated and recorded with the use of an Android based software.

Knowing the severity of RA disease is very important for the treatment to be carried out. While determining the severity of disease in RA, clinical laboratory findings are very important as well as anamnesis. In this study, a fuzzy expert system has been designed to determine the severity of RA disease, using the laboratory test results of CRP, Sedim, Rheumatoid Factor (RF), and Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA). The input variables of the designed system, linguistic expressions, and its rule base have been determined with the aid of a specialist, and a web based software has been realized to determine the RA disease severity.

Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, creating 8.8 million deaths in 2015. The four most common causes of cancer death are stomach cancer. Approximately 754,000 people die from stomach cancer every year in the whole world. The importance of image processing and its use is increasing day by day in today's medical world. An important step in image processing is the segmentation process. Diagnosis of stomach cancer can not be performed fully automatically because of the complicated structure of the stomach. The aim of this study is to study locally for the presence of the cancerous zone and to suggest a cancerous area using statistical methods in the determined region. Segmentation will be done by Region Growing and Statistical Region Merging methods in the region determined by the proposed model and the results will be obtained by comparing the accuracy of the cancerous zone found in the study with the zone determined by the specialist doctor.

In PDT, the optical energy received by the tumorous tissue is crucial for successful treatment. Therefore, penetration depth of the light in the target tissue is an important parameter for dosimetry calculations. In this study, the penetration depths of LED light with the wavelengths of 635 nm and 660 nm in chicken breast tissue have been measured. For this purpose, 13 tissue samples with different thicknesses between 2.2 mm and 8.2 mm have been prepared. Collimated transmittances through the samples have been analyzed using Beer-Lambert law to obtain the penetration depths. It has been found that the optical penetration depths for chicken breast tissue at 635 nm and 660 nm are 7.1±0.4 mm and 7.6±0.5 mm, respectively.

Its self-assembly into highly organized different level of structures deeply influences a variety of physiological processes such as cell migration, proliferation, motility, gene expression, and signaling [1, 2, 3]. Due to the comprehensive function of this important physiological event, collagen self-assembly is extensively used in a variety of biomedical and biotechnological applications such as tissue engineering [4], cellular processing [5], bio-compatibility improving, generating templates for nonowire assembly and biofunctionalization of surfaces [4]. Although both experimental and theoretical understanding of the interaction forces driving the self-assembly is crucial, most of the studies are experimental. In this study, we theoretically investigated the main interaction forces accompanying the selfassembly of collagen molecules onto hydrophilic mica surface with the Derjaguin-LandauVerwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory [6] as a qualitative model at macro-molecular scale. Application of the theory to collagen-mica system provides insight regarding the intervening factors and rationalizes important system parameters such as force, energy, or adhesion. A pure attraction at long distances is calculated in addition to a comparative adhesion at contact with the literature. To further investigate the nanoscale organization of collagen fibrils, a more detailed sequence based computational analysis will be performed at short distances for the future goal of the project.

Experiments used different types of features ranging from separate EEG filtered band waves to combinations of filtered band waves in addition to two added feature vectors: signal power and signal energy. We used two classifiers with the feature vectors: TreeBoost and support vector machines. We carried out experiments using a real life EEG signals data set that is available from the University Hospital of Bonn in Germany. The main contribution of our work is to show the effect of combining together signal energy and power with different EEG band waves to classify epilepsy, and that this combination has shown improvement (96.5% accuracy) over using feature vectors with fewer band wave transformations (86-92.75% accuracy), using the TreeBoost algorithm. This combination also computed 99% specificity and 94% sensitivity. The results were evaluated using cross validation with 10 folds.
