An Energy-Efficient Lightweight Security Protocol For Optimal Resource Provenance In Wireless Sensor Networks, Sujesh Lal, Joe Prathap P M Jan 2020

An Energy-Efficient Lightweight Security Protocol For Optimal Resource Provenance In Wireless Sensor Networks, Sujesh Lal, Joe Prathap P M

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Security of resource sharing and provenance is a major concern in wireless sensor networks(WSNs),wherethe intruders can easily inject malicious intermediate nodes for various personal gains. This selective forwarding attack may reduce the flow of resource sharing and throughput in the network. Most of the existing techniques are complex and do not provide sufficient security to sensor nodes with low energy. This paper proposes an energy-efficient and lightweight security protocol for optimal resource provenance in multihop WSNs and the Internet of things (IoT) network. The sharing of the resources between the sensor nodes indicates the strength of the mutual cooperation between …


Analysis Of Biometric Data Using Watermarking Techniques, Foday Jorh, Bariş Özyer, Claude Fachkha Jan 2020

Analysis Of Biometric Data Using Watermarking Techniques, Foday Jorh, Bariş Özyer, Claude Fachkha

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper evaluates and analyses the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) frequency bands for embedding and extracting of the biometric data using DWT single level and multilevel watermarking approach with and without the use of alpha blending approach. In addition, singular value decomposition (SVD) combined with DWT is used to embed and extract the watermark image. The performance of compression and decompression approaches has been analyzed to examine the robustness and to check whether the compression function does destroy the integrity of the watermarked image. We investigate the proposed approach to understand how robust the watermarked on different sub-band is against …

A New Configuration For Four-Switch Three-Phase Inverters Based On A Switched-Capacitor Step-Up Cell For Electric Vehicles Application, Alireza Lahooti Eshkevari, Ali Mosallanejad, Mohammad Sadegh Sepasian Jan 2020

A New Configuration For Four-Switch Three-Phase Inverters Based On A Switched-Capacitor Step-Up Cell For Electric Vehicles Application, Alireza Lahooti Eshkevari, Ali Mosallanejad, Mohammad Sadegh Sepasian

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes a new configuration for four-switch three-phase inverters based on a step-up switchedcapacitor cell, which is called switched-capacitor four-switch three-phase inverter (SCFSTPI). This converter includes eight power switches and two DC-link capacitors. Voltage step-up feature, high efficiency, integrated structure, and bidirectional power flow are the main contribution of this new configuration. A modified space vector modulation (SVM) strategy is presented to generate appropriate pulses for the converter. This modulation method also eliminates the effect of capacitors voltage imbalance problem on the inverter output voltage and current. Simulation and experimental results are presented and investigated to confirm the performance …


A Regular Expression Generator Based On Css Selectors For Efficient Extraction From Html Pages, Erdi̇nç Uzun Jan 2020

A Regular Expression Generator Based On Css Selectors For Efficient Extraction From Html Pages, Erdi̇nç Uzun

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Cascading style sheets (CSS) selectors are patterns used to select HTML elements. They are often preferred in web data extraction because they are easy to prepare and have short expressions. In order to be able to extract data from web pages by using these patterns, a document object model (DOM) tree is constructed by an HTML parser for a webpage. The construction process of this tree and the extraction process using this tree increase time and memory costs depending on the number of HTML elements and their hierarchies. For reducing these costs, regular expressions can be considered as a solution. …

Accurate Indoor Positioning With Ultra-Wide Band Sensors, Taner Arsan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Ultra-wide band is one of the emerging indoor positioning technologies. In the application phase, accuracy and interference are important criteria of indoor positioning systems. Not only the method used in positioning, but also the algorithms used in improving the accuracy is a key factor. In this paper, we tried to eliminate the effects of off-set and noise in the data of the ultra-wide band sensor-based indoor positioning system. For this purpose, optimization algorithms and filters have been applied to the raw data, and the accuracy has been improved. A test bed with the dimensions of 7.35 m × 5.41 m …


A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz Jan 2020

A Fully Batteryless Multiinput Single Inductor Single Output Energy Harvesting Architecture, Ridvan Umaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Conventional energy architectures that utilize multiple ambient energy sources are initiated either by an external power supply or through the addition of an extra power source (e.g., battery) to the architecture. However, these interventions compromise the goal of a self-sustainable energy harvesting system. Moreover, conventional architectures are not effective in situations where space is limited (e.g., an artificial heart) or when access to this space is difficult (e.g., human implantable devices), due to their large battery size. Thus, conventional energy combiner circuits that use multiple energy sources are not well suited for supplying power to most applications. This paper presents …


Remac: A Novel Hybrid And Reservation-Based Mac Protocol For Vanets, Fi̇kri̇ Ağgün, Musa Çibuk, Shafqat Ur Rehman Jan 2020

Remac: A Novel Hybrid And Reservation-Based Mac Protocol For Vanets, Fi̇kri̇ Ağgün, Musa Çibuk, Shafqat Ur Rehman

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The period in which a roadside unit (RSU) of a vehicle remains in the coverage area is too short in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in which the vehicles move at high speeds. In this short period, it is necessary for the vehicles to join the network and establish continuous communication with the RSU. To accomplish this, the RSU and vehicles need an efficient and robust media access control (MAC) protocol. In this study, a new reservation-based MAC (ReMAC) protocol in which multiple channels are used is suggested to ensure rapid connection to RSUs, smooth transition between RSUs, and efficient …


A Fuzzy Neural Network For Web Service Selection Aimed At Dynamic Software Rejuvenation, Kimia Rezaei Kalantari, Ali Ebrahimnejad, Homayun Motameni Jan 2020

A Fuzzy Neural Network For Web Service Selection Aimed At Dynamic Software Rejuvenation, Kimia Rezaei Kalantari, Ali Ebrahimnejad, Homayun Motameni

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Software rejuvenation is an effective technique to counteract software aging in continuously running applications such as web service-based systems. In these systems, web services are allocated based on the requirements of receivers and the facilities of servers. One of the challenges while assigning web services is how to select appropriate server to reduce faults. In this paper, we propose dynamic software rejuvenation as a proactive fault-tolerance technique based on the neural fuzzy system. While considering a threshold for the rejuvenation of each web service, we completed the training based on the features of the service providers as well as the …

Some Deformations Of The Fibred Biset Category, Laurence Barker, İsmai̇l Alperen Öğüt Jan 2020

Some Deformations Of The Fibred Biset Category, Laurence Barker, İsmai̇l Alperen Öğüt

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We prove the well-definedness of some deformations of the fibred biset category in characteristic zero. The method is to realize the fibred biset category and the deformations as the invariant parts of some categories whose compositions are given by simpler formulas. Those larger categories are constructed from a partial category of subcharacters by linearizing and introducing a cocycle.


Development Of A Sensor Suite For Atmospheric Boundary Layer Measurement With A Small Multirotor Unmanned Aerial System, Kevin A. Adkins, Christopher J. Swinford, Peter D. Wambolt, Gordon Bease Jan 2020

Development Of A Sensor Suite For Atmospheric Boundary Layer Measurement With A Small Multirotor Unmanned Aerial System, Kevin A. Adkins, Christopher J. Swinford, Peter D. Wambolt, Gordon Bease

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

Small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) are increasingly being used to conduct atmospheric research. Because of the dynamic nature and inhomogeneity of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), the ability of instrumented sUAS to make on-demand 3-dimensional high-resolution spatial measurements of atmospheric parameters makes them particularly suited to ABL investigations. Both fixed-wing and multirotor sUAS have been used for ABL investigations. Most investigations to date have included in-situ measurement of thermodynamic quantities such as temperature, pressure and humidity. When wind has been measured, a variety of strategies have been used. Two of the most popular techniques have been deducing wind from inertial …


Automatic Gaze Classification For Aviators: Using Multi-Task Convolutional Networks As A Proxy For Flight Instructor Observation, Justin Wilson, Sandro Scielzo, Sukumaran Nair, Eric C. Larson Jan 2020

Automatic Gaze Classification For Aviators: Using Multi-Task Convolutional Networks As A Proxy For Flight Instructor Observation, Justin Wilson, Sandro Scielzo, Sukumaran Nair, Eric C. Larson

International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace

In this work, we investigate how flight instructors observe aviator scan patterns and assign quality to an aviator's gaze. We first establish the reliability of instructors to assign similar quality to an aviator's scan patterns, and then investigate methods to automate this quality using machine learning. In particular, we focus on the classification of gaze for aviators in a mixed-reality flight simulation. We create and evaluate two machine learning models for classifying gaze quality of aviators: a task-agnostic model and a multi-task model. Both models use deep convolutional neural networks to classify the quality of pilot gaze patterns for 40 …


Introducing Parallelism To First-Year Cs Majors, Barbara M. Anthony, D. Cenk Erdil, Olga Glebova, Robert Montante Jan 2020

Introducing Parallelism To First-Year Cs Majors, Barbara M. Anthony, D. Cenk Erdil, Olga Glebova, Robert Montante

School of Computer Science & Engineering Faculty Publications

We propose to strengthen the computer science (CS) curriculum by embedding parallel concepts in a required first-semester seminar taken by all incoming declared CS majors. We introduce students to parallel computing concepts through a series of unplugged activities so that students see parallel approaches as a natural form of solution to a task. We describe a pilot offering of the class and activities, with measurements and analysis of what students self-report and their performance on assessments.
