An Attribute Or Tuple Timestamping In Bitemporal Relational Databases, Canan Atay Jan 2016

An Attribute Or Tuple Timestamping In Bitemporal Relational Databases, Canan Atay

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Much of the research on bitemporal databases has focused on the modeling of time-related data with either attribute or tuple timestamping. While the attribute-timestamping approach attaches bitemporal data to attributes, the tuple-timestamping approach splits the object's history into several tuples. Although there have been numerous studies on bitemporal data models, there is no work contrasting these two common approaches in terms of system performance and ease of use. In this paper, we compared interval-based attribute- and tuple-timestamped bitemporal data models by running sample queries to measure processing time, and then we evaluated their usability by using the same data. Our …


Exploring Feature Sets For Turkish Word Sense Disambiguation, Bahar İlgen, Eşref Adali, Ahmet Cüneyd Tantuğ Jan 2016

Exploring Feature Sets For Turkish Word Sense Disambiguation, Bahar İlgen, Eşref Adali, Ahmet Cüneyd Tantuğ

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

It is known that exploiting effective features and removing redundant ones help improving the results. There are two groups of feature sets to disambiguate senses and select the most appropriate ones among a set of candidates: collocational and bag-of-words (BoW) features. We introduce the effects of using these two feature sets on the Turkish Lexical Sample Dataset (TLSD), …

The use of multiphase (more than three-phase) ac machines is well adopted in different high power applications and the evaluation of different losses (no load losses, short circuit load loss, friction and windage losses, and stray loss) in multiphase machines is extremely important for the correct determination of their operating performance. Therefore, the paper presents a detailed experimental investigation of an asymmetrical (30$^{\circ}$ displacement between the two winding sets) six-phase synchronous machine for determination of different losses under no-load condition. Moreover, a comparative study of losses for a six-phase and three-phase synchronous machine has also been performed. The results are …

A Second-Order Volterra Filter-Based Nonlinear Clipping Detector, Jihwan Park, Joon-Hyuk Chang Jan 2016

A Second-Order Volterra Filter-Based Nonlinear Clipping Detector, Jihwan Park, Joon-Hyuk Chang

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we propose a novel nonlinear clipping detector based on the second-order Volterra filter for an acoustic echo canceller (AEC). Since the performance of the conventional AEC algorithm drastically deteriorates when nonlinear clipping occurs, the adaptive filter pauses adaptation during the nonlinear clipping periods to avoid unwanted divergence. These nonlinear clipping periods are detected in our method using the magnitude spectrum of the quadratic Volterra filter in lower frequency ranges. Through extensive computer-based simulation results considering an acoustic room environment and various clipping levels, it is found that the proposed approach is effective in detecting the nonlinear clipping …


Balancing Exploration And Exploitation By Using Sequential Execution Cooperation Between Artificial Bee Colony And Migrating Birds Optimization Algorithms, Hasan Makas, Nejat Yumuşak Jan 2016

The migrating birds optimization (MBO) algorithm is another recent metaheuristic search method. It simulates birds' V flight formation, which minimizes energy consumption during flight. The MBO algorithm achieves a good convergence to the global optimum by using its own unique benefit mechanism. That is, it has a good exploitation capability. This paper aimed to combine the good …


Minimum Number Of Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators For Coordinated Low-Voltage Ride-Through Of Induction Generators In Hybrid Wind Farms, Shenghu Li, Rui An Jan 2016

Minimum Number Of Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Generators For Coordinated Low-Voltage Ride-Through Of Induction Generators In Hybrid Wind Farms, Shenghu Li, Rui An

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Coordinated low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) of induction generators (IGs) utilizing the excessive reactive power of permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) in hybrid wind farms is attractive due to saving investments on shunt compensators. The existing research is mainly based on dynamic simulations to given scenarios and does not quantify the necessary capacity and number of PMSGs. This paper newly proposes an analytical model to quantify the minimum number of the PMSGs for coordinated LVRT. The critical voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) leading to slip instability of the IGs is quantified. To avoid instability, necessary var support from the …


A Sampling-Based Method Using An Improved Nonparametric Density Estimator For Probabilistic Harmonic Load Flow Calculation, Farshid Nasrfard-Jahromi, Mohammad Mohammadi Jan 2016

A Sampling-Based Method Using An Improved Nonparametric Density Estimator For Probabilistic Harmonic Load Flow Calculation, Farshid Nasrfard-Jahromi, Mohammad Mohammadi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Harmonic distortion in electrical power systems is responsible for several technical problems. Harmonic load flow (HLF) methods have been employed in order to predict and solve many of the problems from a deterministic point of view. Moreover, methods based on probability theory have been developed to deal with the uncertainties in power systems and the random nature of harmonics. Unfortunately, since many of these methods are based on linearized models or some simplifying assumptions, they do not have acceptable accuracy. This paper proposes the use of an efficient sampling method, median Latin hypercube sampling, combined with an improved kernel density …

Heuristic Sample Reduction Method For Support Vector Data Description, Wenzhu Sun, Jianling Qu, Yang Chen, Yazhou Di, Feng Gao Jan 2016

Heuristic Sample Reduction Method For Support Vector Data Description, Wenzhu Sun, Jianling Qu, Yang Chen, Yazhou Di, Feng Gao

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Support vector data description (SVDD) has become one of the most promising methods for one-class classification for finding the boundary of the training set. However, SVDD has a time complexity of $O\;(N^{3})$ and a space complexity of $O\;(N^{2})$. When dealing with very large sizes of training sets, e.g., a training set of the aeroengine gas path parameters with the size of $N>10^{6}$ sampled from several months of flight data, SVDD fails. To solve this problem, a method called heuristic sample reduction (HSR) is proposed for obtaining a reduced training set that is manageable for SVDD. HSR maintains the classification …


Extracting The Region Of Interest From Mfl Signals, Ali Sadr, Raziyeh Sadat Okhovat Jan 2016

Extracting The Region Of Interest From Mfl Signals, Ali Sadr, Raziyeh Sadat Okhovat

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we study the magnetic flux leakage (MFL) signals for detection of defects in ferromagnetic materials. MFL signals consist of a background that is not constant and is combined with noise. Since there are slight variations because of noise, any large distortion shows a defect. Here the estimation of the background and then the determination of a threshold to distinguish defects from noise have been used for locating defects. In this method, precise evaluation of these two parameters has a vital role on the defect detection. The concept of histograms has been employed for eliminating the effect of …

A Mapreduce-Based Distributed Svm Algorithm For Binary Classification, Ferhat Özgür Çatak, Mehmet Erdal Balaban Jan 2016

A Mapreduce-Based Distributed Svm Algorithm For Binary Classification, Ferhat Özgür Çatak, Mehmet Erdal Balaban

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Although the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm has a high generalization property for classifying unseen examples after the training phase~and a small loss value, the algorithm is not suitable for real-life classification and regression problems. SVMs cannot solve hundreds of thousands of examples in a training dataset. In previous studies on distributed machine-learning algorithms, the SVM was trained in a costly and preconfigured computer environment. In this research, we present a MapReduce-based distributed parallel SVM training algorithm for binary classification problems. This work shows how to distribute optimization problems over cloud computing systems with the MapReduce technique. In the second …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The popularity of renewable energy conversion systems, and especially of wind energy, has been growing in recent years. Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy systems are extensively used due to their wide range of active and reactive power controllability. Conventional DFIG control structures consist of decoupled PI rotor current controllers with stator flux orientation and machine parameter-dependent compensating terms. The accuracy of stator flux calculations is dependent on how accurately the stator resistance is known. Integration problems also exist and additional low-pass filters are implemented to accurately calculate the stator flux. In the current study, machine-dependent compensating terms are …


An Unsupervised Heterogeneous Log-Based Framework For Anomaly Detection, Asif Iqbal Hajamydeen, Nur Izura Udzir, Ramlan Mahmod, Abdul Azim Abdul Ghani Jan 2016

An Unsupervised Heterogeneous Log-Based Framework For Anomaly Detection, Asif Iqbal Hajamydeen, Nur Izura Udzir, Ramlan Mahmod, Abdul Azim Abdul Ghani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Log analysis is a method to identify intrusions at the host or network level by scrutinizing the log events recorded by the operating systems, applications, and devices. Most work contemplates a single type of log for analysis, leading to an unclear picture of the situation and difficulty in deciding the existence of an intrusion. Moreover, most existing detection methods are knowledge-dependent, i.e. using either the characteristics of an anomaly or the baseline of normal traffic behavior, which limits the detection process to only anomalies based on the acquired knowledge. To discover a wide range of anomalies by scrutinizing various logs, …


Reconstructive Sensing Circuit For Complementary Resistive Switches-Based Crossbar Memories, Ertuğrul Karakulak, Reşat Mutlu, Erdem Uçar Jan 2016

Reconstructive Sensing Circuit For Complementary Resistive Switches-Based Crossbar Memories, Ertuğrul Karakulak, Reşat Mutlu, Erdem Uçar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Complementary resistive switches (CRSs) are suggested as an alternative to one-cell memristor memories to decrease leakage currents. However, their sensing is more difficult and complex than one-cell memristor memories. A method has been given for sensing their state using only DC voltages in the literature. However, in this strategy, sensing one of the logic states results in the destruction of the state and the destroyed state must be written again. To the best of our knowledge, a circuit with this sensing strategy does not exist in the literature yet. In this paper, such a circuit employing this method, which is …

Input parameters for the algorithm are the geometrical variables of the motor. This approach is more advantageous than finite element analysis requiring a long period of time. Results of the artificial …


Finger-Vein Biometric Identification Using Convolutional Neural Network, Syafeeza Ahmad Radzi, Mohamed Khalil Hani, Rabia Bakhteri Jan 2016

Finger-Vein Biometric Identification Using Convolutional Neural Network, Syafeeza Ahmad Radzi, Mohamed Khalil Hani, Rabia Bakhteri

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A novel approach using a convolutional neural network (CNN) for finger-vein biometric identification is presented in this paper. Unlike existing biometric techniques such as fingerprint and face, vein patterns are inside the body, making them virtually impossible to replicate. This also makes finger-vein biometrics a more secure alternative without being susceptible to forgery, damage, or change with time. In conventional finger-vein recognition methods, complex image processing is required to remove noise and extract and enhance the features before the image classification can be performed in order to achieve high performance accuracy. In this regard, a significant advantage of the CNN …
