On The Automorphisms And Isomorphisms Of Mds Matrices And Their Efficient Implementations, Muharrem Tolga Sakalli, Sedat Akleylek, Kemal Akkanat, Vincent Rijmen
On The Automorphisms And Isomorphisms Of Mds Matrices And Their Efficient Implementations, Muharrem Tolga Sakalli, Sedat Akleylek, Kemal Akkanat, Vincent Rijmen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we explicitly define the automorphisms of MDS matrices over the same binary extension field. By extending this idea, we present the isomorphisms between MDS matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$ and MDS matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{mt}}$, where $t \ge 1$ and $m>1$, which preserves the software implementation properties in view of XOR operations and table lookups of any given MDS matrix over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$. Then we propose a novel method to obtain distinct functions related to these automorphisms and isomorphisms to be used in generating isomorphic MDS matrices (new MDS matrices in view of implementation properties) using the existing ones. The …

Wideband Patch Array Antenna Using Superstrate Configuration For Future 5gapplications, Sidra Farhat, Farzana Arshad, Yasar Amin, Jonathan Loo
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this work, four distinct antenna configurations for future-centric 5G applications are proposed. Initially, a single rectangular patch is designed to operate at the frequency of 28 GHz while maintaining a wide operational band. Performance of the antenna is improved by incorporating an array of identical rectangular elements resulting in a higher gain and wider bandwidth. The proposed arrangement consists of three rectangular elements realized using 0.508-mm thick Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 laminate. The bandwidth is further enhanced by increasing the number of radiating elements in the array from three to five. Evolution of the proposed design is concluded by stacking …
Revised Polyhedral Conic Functions Algorithm For Supervised Classification, Gürhan Ceylan, Gürkan Öztürk
Revised Polyhedral Conic Functions Algorithm For Supervised Classification, Gürhan Ceylan, Gürkan Öztürk
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In supervised classification, obtaining nonlinear separating functions from an algorithm is crucial for prediction accuracy. This paper analyzes the polyhedral conic functions (PCF) algorithm that generates nonlinear separating functions by only solving simple subproblems. Then, a revised version of the algorithm is developed that achieves better generalization and fast training while maintaining the simplicity and high prediction accuracy of the original PCF algorithm. This is accomplished by making the following modifications to the subproblem: extension of the objective function with a regularization term, relaxation of a hard constraint set and introduction of a new error term. Experimental results show that …

Sedimentology And Hydrocarbon Potential Of The Late Ordovician Glacial Deposits On Thearabian Platform And Southeastern Turkey, Muhi̇tti̇n Şenalp, Sema Teti̇ker
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
The Late Ordovician glacial deposits are widespread and constitute a significant portion of the Early Paleozoic stratigraphic sequence of the cover rocks of the Arabian and African platforms. The glaciation lasted less than one million years between the Late Ashgillian (445 Ma) and Early Silurian (444 Ma) but it had a strong impact on the whole area. It has been proven that the glaciofluvial sandstones form important oil and gas reservoirs in Saudi Arabia and in North African and other Middle Eastern countries, including SE Turkey, but their heterogeneity and internal lithofacies characteristics have not been fully understood yet.

Apmdisc: An Online Computer Program For The Geochemical Discrimination Ofsiliciclastic Sediments From Active And Passive Margins, María Abdelaly Rivera-Gómez, John Selvamony Armstrong-Altrin, Surendra P. Verma, Lorena Díaz-González
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
An online computer program called APMdisc (Active and Passive Margin discrimination) for the discrimination of siliciclastic sediments from active and passive margin settings was written in Java along with the ZK framework. APMdisc calculates four complex discriminant functions (DFilr(A-P)M and DFmlr(A-P)M; DFilr(A-P)MT and DFmlr(A-P)MT), which represent linear combinations of log-ratios of all ten major elements (M) and ten major and six trace elements (MT), respectively. In these equations, ilr and mlr stand for isometric log-ratio and modified log-ratio transformations of the chemical composition of active and passive margin sediments, respectively. The ilr transformation provided the same results as the mlr …

A Novel S-Box-Based Postprocessing Method For True Random Number Generation, Erdi̇nç Avaroğlu, Taner Tuncer
A Novel S-Box-Based Postprocessing Method For True Random Number Generation, Erdi̇nç Avaroğlu, Taner Tuncer
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The quality of randomness in numbers generated by true random number generators (TRNGs) depends on the source of entropy. However, in TRNGs, sources of entropy are affected by environmental changes and this creates a correlation between the generated bit sequences. Postprocessing is required to remove the problem created by this correlation in TRNGs. In this study, an S-box-based postprocessing structure is proposed as an alternative to the postprocessing structures seen in the published literature. A ring oscillator (RO)-based TRNG is used to demonstrate the use of an S-box for postprocessing and the removal of correlations between number sequences. The statistical …
Harmonic Effects Optimization At A System Level Using A Harmonic Power Flowcontroller, Reza Mehri, Hossein Mokhtari
Harmonic Effects Optimization At A System Level Using A Harmonic Power Flowcontroller, Reza Mehri, Hossein Mokhtari
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Increase of nonlinear loads in industries has resulted in high levels of harmonic currents and consequently harmonic voltages in power networks. Harmonics have several negative effects such as higher energy losses and equipment life reduction. To reduce the levels of harmonics in power networks, different methods of harmonic suppression have been employed. The basic idea in all of these methods is to prevent harmonics from flowing into a power network at customer sides and the point of common coupling (PCC). Due to the costs, none of the existing mitigating methods result in a harmonic-free power system. The remaining harmonic currents, …

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
Late Cretaceous felsic rocks are common in the eastern Pontides (NE Turkey). These rocks developed as an island arc from the Jurassic to the Miocene; they also host numerous volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits. The Late Cretaceous dacites that outcrop around Zigana Mountain (Gümüşhane, NE Turkey) were exposed to intensive hydrothermal alteration. Widespread hydrothermal alteration of Late Cretaceous dacite in Zigana Mountain has led to the formation of well-developed clay minerals. Their main alteration products are sericite, chlorite, and carbonates (ankerite and calcite). The clay minerals identified by X-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis include illite, chlorite, small amounts of kaolinite, …
