Increasing use of software, rapid and unavoidable changes in the operational environment bring many problemsfor software engineers. One of these problems is the aging and degradation of software performance. Software rejuvenationis a proactive and preventive approach to counteract software aging. Generally, when software is initiated, amounts ofmemory are allocated. Then, the body of software is executed for providing a service and when the software is terminated,the allocated memory is released. In this paper, a rejuvenation model based on multilevel software rejuvenation andMarkov chain presented. In this model, the system performance as a result of degraded physical memory and memoryusage is …

An Efficient Reliability Simulation Tool For Lifetime-Aware Analog Circuit Synthesis, Engi̇n Afacan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Time-dependent degradation (aging) has become more severe in modern CMOS technologies. Therefore, it is highly critical to capture the variation effects and design reliable circuits against aging. Simulation of time-dependent variations is quite complicated since the degradation is a function of time, where the step count of simulation directly affects the accuracy and the efficiency of the analysis. Commercial simulator tools use a constant step count during reliability simulations, in which choosing a large step count degrades the efficiency whereas keeping it small may result in accuracy problems. To overcome this bottleneck, a couple of different approaches have been proposed …
A Computational Study On Aging Effect For Facial Expression Recognition, Elena Sönmez
A Computational Study On Aging Effect For Facial Expression Recognition, Elena Sönmez
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This work uses newly introduced variations of the sparse representation-based classifier (SRC) to challenge the issue of automatic facial expression recognition (FER) with faces belonging to a wide span of ages. Since facial expression is one of the most powerful and immediate ways to disclose individuals? emotions and intentions, the study of emotional traits is an active research topic both in psychology and in engineering fields. To date, automatic FER systems work well with frontal and clean faces, but disturbance factors can dramatically decrease their performance. Aging is a critical disruption element, which is present in any real-world situation and …
A Study On Influence Of Borax To Polyester Insulators, Aysel Ersoy, Ayten Kuntman
A Study On Influence Of Borax To Polyester Insulators, Aysel Ersoy, Ayten Kuntman
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study the effect of borax on polyester insulators is investigated by evaluating the tracking and erosion resistance using the inclined plane test. The test procedure follows the ASTM D2303 standard. During the test, 50 Hz current was acquired from the ground electrode allowing a sampling rate of 48000 samples per second. The effect of borax concentration on the glass transition and the degradation temperature is studied by employing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. The addition of borax to the unsaturated polyester resulted in an increase in the glass transition temperature, while the addition of 0.5% of borax by …
