Fault-Controlled Gas Escapes In The Shelf Sediments Of The Saros Gulf, Ne Aegean Sea, Şebnem Önder, Naci̇ Görür, Alina Polonia, Luca Gasperini

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

High-resolution marine seismic reflection studies on the eastern shelf of the Saros Gulf have revealed the presence of gas-charged sediments across a narrow submarine valley incised by the Ganos Fault along the North Anatolian Fault system. Quaternary sediments, accumulated during glacial and interglacial periods through transgressional and progradational units, were controlled by glacio-eustatic sea-level fluctuations and tectonic deformation. The transgressional units made of upward-fining deposits created seals at their tops to form gas accumulation pockets. Conversely, the progradational units appear heavily eroded at their top, which is unfavorable for gas accumulation. The sediment?s gas accumulation features include enhanced reflections, acoustic …

Optimal Directional Overcurrent Relay Coordination Based On Computationalintelligence Technique: A Review, Suzana Pil Ramli, Muhammad Usama, Hazlie Mokhlis, Wei Ru Wong, Muhamad Hatta Hussain, Munir Azam Muhammad, Nurulafiqah Nadzirah Mansor

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

An exponential increase in diverse load demand in the last decade has influenced the integration of more power plants into the power system. This increases the fault current due to the bidirectional flow of current, resulting in unwanted tripping of the relays if not properly coordinated. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure the installation of relays in the grid being able to sense the fault current from any direction (i.e. upstream or downstream). This can be accomplished by introducing an optimal directional overcurrent relay (DOCR) coordination scheme into the system. This paper presents an in-depth review of the applications of …


A New Design Algorithm For The Pmhs Motor Considering The Combination Ratio, Ali Behniafar, Ahmad Darabi Jan 2021

A New Design Algorithm For The Pmhs Motor Considering The Combination Ratio, Ali Behniafar, Ahmad Darabi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Recently, the hysteresis motors have a special significance in the nuclear industries. This is because these motors have some advantages such as low noise, high mechanical strength and group feeding ability. They also have some disadvantages that make some limitations for related industries. These disadvantages include low synchronization torque, low power factor, low efficiency, and hunting. One solution to reduce these disadvantages is to combine the hysteresis motor with the PM motor. This however requires a correct and flexible design procedure as well as an appropriate choice of the machine structure. Accordingly, this paper aims to present a new design …

Shapeshifter: A Morphable Microprocessor For Low Power, Nazli Tokatli, İsa Ahmet Güney, Sercan Sari, Merve Güney, Uğur Nezi̇r, Gürhan Küçük

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A composite core contains large and small heterogeneous microengines. The most important property of composite cores is their ability to select the most proper microengine for running applications to save power without sacrificing too much performance. To achieve this, a composite core tries to predict the performance of the passive microengine by collecting various processor statistics from the active microengine at runtime. In the method proposed in the literature, the microengine, which is more ideal for running the rest of the application, is determined by a migrationdecision circuitry that is bound to collected statistics and complex functions, which are run …


Comparative Review Of Disk Type And Unconventional Transverse Flux Machines:Performance Analysis, Erhan Tuncel, Emi̇n Yildiriz Jan 2021

Comparative Review Of Disk Type And Unconventional Transverse Flux Machines:Performance Analysis, Erhan Tuncel, Emi̇n Yildiriz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Transverse flux machines (TFM) can be designed with high pole numbers, so they are very useful in directdrive systems with high torque density. Although many TFM models have been proposed to date, no detailed classification and comparison has been made before. Conventional TFMs have a high power and torque density, but low power factors and high cogging torques have prevented them from being widely used. However, especially with the new disk type TFMs proposed in recent years and the methods developed, these drawbacks have been reduced. In this paper, the TFMs proposed in recent years have been classified and their …

Attention Augmented Residual Network For Tomato Disease Detection Andclassification, Getinet Yilma Abawatew, Seid Belay, Kumie Gedamu, Maregu Assefa, Melese Ayalew, Ariyo Oluwasanmi, Zhiguang Qin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Deep learning techniques help agronomists efficiently identify, analyze, and monitor tomato health. CNN (convolutional neural network) locality constraint and existing small train sample adversely influenced disease recognition performance. To alleviate these challenges, we proposed a discriminative feature learning attention augmented residual (AAR) network. The AAR network contains a stacked pre-activated residual block that learns deep coarse level features with locality context, whereas the attention block captures salient feature sets while maintaining the global relationship in data points, attention features augment the learning of the residual block. We used conditional variational generative adversarial network (CVGAN) image reconstruction network and augmentation techniques …

Investigating The Effect Of Self-Trapped Holes In The Current Gain Mechanism Of $ \Beta \Mathbf{-}{\Mathbf{Ga}}_{\Mathbf{2}}{\Mathbf{O}}_{\Mathbf{3}}$ Schottky Diode Photodetectors, Fati̇h Akyol

Turkish Journal of Physics

Monoclinic gallium oxide $(\beta\mathrm{-}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{3}})$ has found great research interest in solar blind photodetector (SBP) applications due to its' bandgap $\mathrm{\sim}$4.85 eV and availability of high quality native crystal growth. Applications including missile guidance, flame detection, underwater/intersatellite communication and water purification systems require SBPs. $\beta\mathrm{-}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{3}}$ SBPs with high responsivity values have been published indicating internal gain in these devices. The gain has been attributed to accumulation of self-trapped hole (STH) below Schottky metal which the lowers Schottky barrier in these devices based on some approximations rather than a proper device simulation. In this paper, technology computer-aided design (TCAD) simulation of $\beta\mathrm{-}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{3}}$ …


Vacuum Polarization Energy Of The Kinks In The Sinh-Deformed Models, Ishmael Takyi, Benedict Barnes, Joseph Ackora-Prah Jan 2021

Vacuum Polarization Energy Of The Kinks In The Sinh-Deformed Models, Ishmael Takyi, Benedict Barnes, Joseph Ackora-Prah

Turkish Journal of Physics

We compute the one-loop quantum corrections to the kink energies of the sinh-deformed $\phi^{4}$ and $\varphi^{6}$ models in one space and one time dimensions. These models are constructed from the well-known polynomial $\phi^{4}$ and $\varphi^{6}$ models by a deformation procedure. We also compute the vacuum polarization energy to the non-polynomial function $U(\phi)=\frac{1}{4}(1-\sinh^{2}\phi)^{2}$. This potential approaches the $\phi^{4}$ model in the limit of small values of the scalar function. These energies are extracted from scattering data for fluctuations about the kink solutions. We show that for certain topological sectors with nonequivalent vacua the kink solutions of the sinh-deformed models are destabilized.


Fano Enhancement Of Second Harmonic Field Via Dark-Bright Plasmon Coupling, Mehmet Günay Jan 2021

Fano Enhancement Of Second Harmonic Field Via Dark-Bright Plasmon Coupling, Mehmet Günay

Turkish Journal of Physics

Surface plasmon resonances, the coherent oscillation of free electrons, can concentrate incident field into small volumes much smaller than the incident wavelength. The intense fields at these hot spots enhance the light-matter interactions and may lead to the appearance of nonlinearity. Controlling such nonlinearities is significant for various practical applications. The existence of the long-lived particles in these hotspots may lead to creating Fano resonances in both linear and nonlinear fields. Here we demonstrate that by coupling plasmonic dark modes to the first and the generated second harmonic modes separately, one can gain control over both fields. We find that …

Manipulation of these quantum entities forms the basis of modern quantum technology, from quantum computation to quantum communication and quantum sensing. One, therefore, needs to reconsider the basic concepts of state, evolution, and measurement for these so-called open quantum systems. This is a pedagogical review paper on the rudiments of modern quantum mechanics, which keeps citations to …


Contrasting The Fuzzball And Wormhole Paradigms For Black Holes, Bin Guo, Marcel Hughes, Samir Mathur, Madhur Mehta Jan 2021

Contrasting The Fuzzball And Wormhole Paradigms For Black Holes, Bin Guo, Marcel Hughes, Samir Mathur, Madhur Mehta

Turkish Journal of Physics

We examine an interesting set of recent proposals describing a `wormhole paradigm' for black holes. These proposals require that in some effective variables, semiclassical low-energy dynamics emerges at the horizon. We prove the `effective small corrections theorem' to show that such an effective horizon behavior is not compatible with the requirement that the black hole radiate like a piece of coal as seen from outside. This theorem thus concretizes the fact that the proposals within the wormhole paradigm require some nonlocality linking the hole and its distant radiation. We try to illustrate various proposals for nonlocality by making simple bit …

A Simulation And Experimental Validation Of Third-Order Coma In Nodal Aberrationtheory With A Cassegrain Telescope, Özgür Karci

Turkish Journal of Physics

This study presents a simulation and experimental validation of third-order coma in Nodal Aberration Theory (NAT) with a custom-designed Cassegrain system. The Cassegrain system uses a piezo-driven flexure tool to align the telescope's secondary mirror with respect to the primary mirror. This alignment mechanism is also used to misalign the telescope's secondary mirror to induce the intentional aberrations. The third-order Fringe Zernike coma (Z$_{7/8}$) was simulated utilizing the Cassegrain telescope's real ray-trace model (e.g., in Code V) and analyzed for both the telescope's nominal aligned and misaligned states. The simulated aberration of third-order coma was induced utilizing the secondary mirror …


Mixing Angles Between The Tetraquark States With Two Heavy Quarks Within Qcdsum Rules, Selçuk Bi̇lmi̇ş Jan 2021

Mixing Angles Between The Tetraquark States With Two Heavy Quarks Within Qcdsum Rules, Selçuk Bi̇lmi̇ş

Turkish Journal of Physics

LHCb collaboration has recently announced the observation of a doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc \bar{u} \bar{d}}^+$ state with spin parity $J^P = 1^+$. This exotic state can be explained as a molecular state with small binding energy. According to conventional quark model, both $D^+ D^{0\ast}$ and $(D^0 D^{+\ast})$ multiquark states are expected to have the same mass and flavor in the exact $SU(3)$ symmetry. However, since the quark masses are different, $SU(3) (SU(2))$ symmetry is violated; hence, the mass and flavor eigenstates do not coincide. The mass eigenstates can be represented as a linear combination of the flavor eigenstates, which is …
