The main objective of this study is to compute the similarity of decision trees using data mining techniques. This study proposes DTreeSim, a new approach that applies multiple data mining techniques (classification, sequential pattern mining, and …


Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Three-Phase Active Power Filter Based On Feedback Linearization, Shixi Hou, Juntao Fei Jan 2017

Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control Of A Three-Phase Active Power Filter Based On Feedback Linearization, Shixi Hou, Juntao Fei

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a robust adaptive fuzzy control system using feedback linearization is proposed for a three-phase active power filter (APF). The APF system is divided into two separate loops: the current dynamic inner loop and the DC voltage dynamic outer loop. Adaptive fuzzy tracking control using feedback linearization is employed for the current dynamic inner loop to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional method. The proposed controller can ensure proper tracking of the reference current and impose desired dynamic behavior, giving robustness and insensitivity to parameter variations. Adaptive fuzzy proportional-integral control is applied to the DC voltage dynamics outer …

The Impact Of Sampling Frequency And Amplitude Modulation Index On Low Order Harmonics In A 3-Phase Sv-Pvm Voltage Source Inverter, Qamil Kabashi, Myzafere Limani, Nebi Caka, Milaim Zabeli

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Nowadays, variable speed AC motors are widely used in industry and there are many speed adjustment techniques available. In the last decade there has been a trend towards the use of space vector PWM--IGBT inverters, due to easier digital realization and better utilization of the DC bus. Every power inverter produces a total harmonic distortion (THD) on its output that causes extra losses in stator of induction motors. By eliminating a number of low order voltage/current harmonics it is possible to reduce harmonic losses (stator losses) and mechanical oscillations in general. This could be achieved by implementing filters in the …

In order to deal with this situation, in this paper an improved ICA, named GICA, is proposed that can enhance ICA performance by using a new assimilation method and establishing a relationship between countries inspired by the globalization concept in the real world. The proposed algorithm is evaluated using a set of well-known benchmark functions for global optimization. …


Application Of Singular Value Decomposition Algorithm For Implementing Power Amplifier Linearizer, Rajbir Kaur, Manjeet Singh Patterh Jan 2017

Application Of Singular Value Decomposition Algorithm For Implementing Power Amplifier Linearizer, Rajbir Kaur, Manjeet Singh Patterh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A power amplifier (PA) is an integral component of all base stations in wireless communication systems and is used for converting DC power supply into radio frequency output power, but PAs are highly nonlinear. To achieve high power conversion efficiency, the PA is operated near saturation, which causes intermodulation products and hence results in nonlinear distortion. Digital predistortion (DPD) is a technique used to compensate for the nonlinear distortion without compromising its efficiency. Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) systems use a carrier aggregation scheme to combine separate available bandwidths to deliver high data speeds. In this paper the …

Adaptive Control Of Pure-Feedback Systems In The Presence Of Parametric Uncertainties, Mehrnoosh Asadi, Heydar Toossian Shandiz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The purpose of this study is to investigate an adaptive control approach for completely nonaffine pure-feedback systems with linear/nonlinear parameterization. In this approach, the parameter separation technique and the idea of the positive function of linearly connected parameters are coupled effectively with the combination of backstepping and time-scale separation. Subsequently, a fast dynamical equation is derived from the original subsystem, where the solution is sought to approximate the corresponding ideal virtual/actual control inputs. Furthermore, the adaptation law of unknown parameters can be derived based on Lyapunov theory in the backstepping technique and there is no need to design a state …

Full Occlusion Handling For Pedestrian Tracking Via Hybrid System, Xiaoyu Zhang, Shiqiang Hu, Huanlong Zhang, Xing Hu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Occlusion and lack of visibility even in sparse crowd scenes make it difficult to track individual pedestrians correctly and consistently, particularly in a single view. We present a novel pedestrian tracking approach that connects tracking with reidentification to locate and maintain the identity of certain people who may be occluded for a long time. First, two models are constructed. One model tracks the pedestrian and trains a classifier, while the other model reidentifies the pedestrian of interest from detection results with the trained classifier. Secondly, we design a set of transition rules for model switching. Finally, the two models work …

Design And Implementation Of A Modified Communication Disturbance Observer For Teleoperation Systems, Zahra Zeinaly, Amin Ramezani, Sadjaad Ozgoli Jan 2017

Design And Implementation Of A Modified Communication Disturbance Observer For Teleoperation Systems, Zahra Zeinaly, Amin Ramezani, Sadjaad Ozgoli

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a novel structure for a communication disturbance observer in teleoperation systems is proposed to achieve robust stability. A time delay compensation method based on the concept of network disturbance and a communication disturbance observer (CDOB) has been proposed in past research. Unlike model-based approaches, it works without a time delay model. Therefore, it can be implemented in teleoperation systems with unknown and time-varying delay. However, it has been observed that the system model errors and external disturbances seriously affect the steady-state characteristics. Hence, in this paper, to achieve robustness against disturbance and model uncertainty, the structure of …

In this paper, we present an efficient application of the capacity and coverage-constrained assignment query on outsourced spatial databases. In the proposed technique, we introduce a novel spatial transformation strategy (square spiral encoding) to achieve privacy efficiently for approximate assignment query results. To process the assignment query, we use the parallel auction …


Using Latent Semantic Analysis For Automated Keyword Extraction From Large Document Corpora, Tuğba Önal Süzek Jan 2017

Using Latent Semantic Analysis For Automated Keyword Extraction From Large Document Corpora, Tuğba Önal Süzek

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, we describe a keyword extraction technique that uses latent semantic analysis (LSA) to identify semantically important single topic words or keywords. We compare our method against two other automated keyword extractors, Tf-idf (term frequency-inverse document frequency) and Metamap, using human-annotated keywords as a reference. Our results suggest that the LSA-based keyword extraction method performs comparably to the other techniques. Therefore, in an incremental update setting, the LSA-based keyword extraction method can be preferably used to extract keywords from text descriptions from big data when compared to existing keyword extraction methods.

Analysis And Design Of Grid-Connected 3-Phase 3-Level At-Npc Inverter For Low-Voltage Applications, Emre Avci, Mehmet Uçar Jan 2017

Analysis And Design Of Grid-Connected 3-Phase 3-Level At-Npc Inverter For Low-Voltage Applications, Emre Avci, Mehmet Uçar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The 3-level T-type neutral point clamped (T-NPC) inverter has become the most popular multilevel inverter used in low-voltage applications. However, the realization of a bidirectional switch located at the midpoint leg of the T-NPC inverter is achieved using two insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) with two antiparallel diodes. Power dissipation in these switches is high since there are two semiconductors (an IGBT and a diode) in the current path at the midpoint leg. Switch losses can be reduced and thus the highest conversion efficiency can be achieved if the bidirectional switches in the T-NPC inverter are replaced by highly efficient …

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 …


Two-Group Decodable Distributed Differential Space-Time Code For Wireless Relay Networks Based On Sast Codes, Obada Abdallah, Ammar Abu Hudrouss Jan 2017

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 …

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.


An Rc-Triggered Esd Clamp For High-Voltage Bcd Cmos Processes, Fati̇h Koçer Jan 2017

An Rc-Triggered Esd Clamp For High-Voltage Bcd Cmos Processes, Fati̇h Koçer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a novel RC-triggered, field-effect transistor (FET)-based power clamp that can be used in high-voltage complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) processes.

Analysis And Design Of An Invisibility Cloak Based On Transformation Optics At Microwave Frequencies, Maryam Bayati, Masood Omoomi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Invisibility cloaks can be constructed with electromagnetic metamaterials. In this paper, structural metamaterials are used to design an invisibility cloak. To this end, transformation optics is used to design electromagnetic parameters. These parameters are selected so that when we excite the cloak its presence does not perturb radiated fields. Therefore, we formulate the electric field both at the inner and outer parts of the cloak, when the excitation source is placed both inside and outside, and we show that the scattered fields will be suppressed due to its presence. Finally, simulation results verify that the invisibility cloak is well designed …
