Robust Seed Detection For Coronary Arteries Segmentation Using Thresholded Frangi Response, Sammer Zai, Muhammad Ahsan Ansari, Soon-Young Song, Young Shik Moon
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Automatic detection of initial seed points has become an essential step towards delineating coronary arteries in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images due to image inhomogeneity and other factors. Most coronary segmentation algorithms require user interaction for seed point selection, which may lead to erroneous segmentation. In this study, we present an improved technique of seed detection for coronary segmentation using a thresholded Frangi response. Before computing region of interest (ROI), the proposed method first computes the Frangi response of the complete CCTA volume, followed by thresholding with respect to quantile and median values, and then the ROI selection procedure …

Extraction Of Geometric And Prosodic Features From Human-Gait-Speech Data For Behavioral Pattern Detection: Part I, Raj Kumar Patra, Tilendra Shishir Sinha, Ravi Prakash Dubey
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this work, we extract prosodic features from subjects while they are talking while walking using human-gait-speech data. These human-gait-speech data are separated into 1D data (human-speech) and 2D data (human-gait) using the adaptive-lifting scheme of wavelet transform. We carry out extraction of prosodic features from human-speech data, such as speech duration, pitch, speaking rate, and speech momentum, using five different natural languages (Hindi, Bengali, Oriya, Chhattisgarhi, and English) for the detection of behavioral patterns. These behavioral patterns form real-valued measured parameters, stored in a knowledge-based model called the human-gait-speech model. Extraction of geometrical features from human-gait data, such as …

This work presents the analysis of a joined split-ring frequency selective surface (FSS) for X-band applications using the wave concept iterative procedure (WCIP). When the incident normal plane wave is polarized in the $x$ direction, the joined split-ring FSS shows three rejecting bands at 9 GHz, 10.5 GHz, and 11.5 GHz simultaneously with bandwidths of 3.11 GHz, 0.6 GHz, and 1.13 GHz, respectively. Moreover, one rejecting band at 6.5 GHz is present when the FSS is fed with a normal plane excited in the $y$ direction. In addition, the different resonant frequencies can be tuned independently to give rise to …

Two-Group Decodable Distributed Differential Space-Time Code For Wireless Relay Networks Based On Sast Codes, Obada Abdallah, Ammar Abu Hudrouss
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Space-time code can be implemented in wireless relay networks when all relays cooperate to generate the code at the receiver. In this case, it is called distributed space-time code. If the channel response changes very quickly, the idea of differential space-time coding is needed to overcome the difficulty of updating the channel state information at the receiver. As a result, the transmitted signal can be demodulated without any knowledge of the channel state information at the relays or the receiver. In this paper, development of new low decoding complexity distributed differential space-time codes is considered. The developed codes are designed …

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common sleep disorder that yields cardiovascular diseases, excessive daytime sleepiness, and poor quality of life if not treated. Classification of OSAS from electrocardiograms (ECGs) is a noninvasive method and much more affordable than traditional methods. This study proposes a pattern recognition system for automated apnea diagnosis based on heart rate variability (HRV) and ECG-derived respiratory signals. The k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classifier has been used to develop the models for classifying the sleep apnea types. For comparison purposes, classification models based on multilayer perceptron, support vector machines, and C4.5 decision tree (C4.5 DT) have …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A flexible (2 $\times $ 1) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) antenna with an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) unit cell is designed and measured. The proposed MIMO antenna is based on a circular slotted patch antenna to work at 3.5 GHz. An EBG unit cell is used to reduce the effect of the inherent mutual coupling produced between the closely spaced MIMO elements. The results show that the measured mutual coupling has been reduced by -11.6 dB (from -10 dB to -21.6 dB), and the measured realized gain has been increased by 1.074 dBi (from 1.59 dBi to 2.66 dBi).

Embedded systems have geared up their applications in the field of smart phones, mobile devices, automobiles, and medical instrumentation. Along with the growth of technology, the functional requirements of the systems have also grown multifold. To accommodate these ever increasing functional requirements, the hardware should be designed to include the maximum capability, which in turn increases power consumption. Thus this has to be dynamically managed using software techniques. The dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) feature provided in most of the recent processors has enabled power optimization through software. With this feature the processor operating frequency can be reduced on …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents a new algorithm based on the sequential method for power flow calculation in multiterminal AC/DC systems. The proposed approach differs from other similar studies in the literature by handling two main properties. Firstly, a real equivalent circuit model is considered for the under-load tap changer transformers (ULTCs) of DC converters for the first time in the literature. Hence, new DC equations are obtained. Thus, exact and accurate results can be obtained for practical applications using the proposed algorithm. Tap values adjustment effects of the ULTCs connected to DC converters are included into the Jacobian matrix instead of …

Constrained Control Allocation For Nonlinear Systems With Actuator Failures Or Faults, Saman Ebrahimi Boukani, Mohammad Javad Khosrowjerdi, Roya Amjadifard
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a combination of dynamic constrained control allocation with terminal sliding mode control is proposed for a general class of overactuated nonlinear systems with actuator faults/failures. First, the terminal sliding mode control is designed to converge the system tracking error to zero in a finite-time. Then a control allocation strategy is developed and will be solved by a Lyapunov method, which leads to a dynamic update law with finite-time convergence. This strategy satisfies input limits and when faults/failures occur in some of the actuators, the control signals are automatically redistributed among the healthy actuators. Simulation results on a …

Unsupervised Learning Of Allomorphs In Turkish, Burcu Can
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
One morpheme may have several surface forms that correspond to allomorphs. In English, ed and $d$ are surface forms of the past tense morpheme, and $s$, es, and ies are surface forms of the plural or present tense morpheme. Turkish has a large number of allomorphs due to its morphophonemic processes. One morpheme can have tens of different surface forms in Turkish. This leads to a sparsity problem in natural language processing tasks in Turkish. Detection of allomorphs has not been studied much because of its difficulty. For example, tü and di are Turkish allomorphs (i.e. past tense morpheme), but …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The major issues in most watermarking schemes are security, reliability, and robustness against attacks. To achieve these objectives in a watermarking algorithm, the selection of a scale factor to embed the watermark into the host image is a challenging problem. In this paper, a block singular value decomposition (SVD)-based reliable, robust, secure, and fast watermarking scheme is proposed that uses particle swarm optimization (PSO) in the selection of the scale factor. SVD is applied here on the nonoverlapping blocks of LL wavelet subbands. Selected singular values of these blocks are modified with the pixel values of the watermark image. Selected …

Disk Scheduling With Shortest Cumulative Access Time First Algorithms, Nai̇l Akar, Çağlar Tunç, Mark Gaertner, Fati̇h Erden
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A new class of scheduling algorithms is proposed for disk drive scheduling. As opposed to choosing the request with the shortest access time in conventional shortest access time first (SATF) algorithms, we choose an ordered sequence of pending I/O requests at the scheduling instant with the shortest cumulative access time. Additionally, we introduce flexibility for forthcoming requests to alter the chosen sequence. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed disk scheduler. Throughput gains of 3% and above are shown to be attainable, although this occurs at the expense of increased computational complexity.
