Adaptive Modified Artificial Bee Colony Algorithms (Amabc) For Optimization Ofcomplex Systems, Rabi̇a Korkmaz Tan, Şebnem Bora
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Complex systems are large scale and involve numerous uncertainties, which means that such systems tend to be expensive to operate. Further, it is difficult to analyze systems of this kind in a real environment, and for this reason agent-based modeling and simulation techniques are used instead. Based on estimation methods, modeling and simulation techniques establish an output set against the existing input set. However, as the data set in a given complex systems becomes very large, it becomes impossible to use estimation methods to create the output set desired. Therefore, a new mechanism is needed to optimize data sets in …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A genetic algorithm (GA) is not a good option for finding solutions around in neighborhoods. The current study applies a memetic algorithm (MA) with a proposed local search to the mutation operator of a genetic algorithm in order to solve the traveling salesman problem (TSP). The proposed memetic algorithm uses swap, reversion and insertion operations to make changes in the solution. In the basic GA, unlike in the real world, the relationship between generations has not been considered. This gap is resolved using the proposed complex network to allow selection among possible solutions. The degree measure has been used for …

Automated Labeling Of Terms In Medical Reports In Serbian, Aldina Avdic, Ulfeta Marovac, Dragan Jankovic
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Nowadays, many electronic health reports (EHRs) are stored daily. They consist of the structured part and of an unstructured section written in natural language. Due to the limited time for medical examination, EHRs are short reports which often contain errors and abbreviations. Therefore it is a challenge to process an EHR and extract knowledge from this part of the text for different purposes. This paper compares the results of three proposed methods for automatic labeling of medical terms in unstructured parts of EHRs. All words are categorized as words within the medical domain (symptoms, diagnoses, therapies, anatomy, specialties etc.) and …

Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This research article deals with novel two species of initial value problems, one of them, the fractional neutral functional integrodifferential equations, and the other one, the coupled system of fractional neutral functional integrodifferential equations, with finite delay and involving a $\psi$-Caputo fractional operator. The existence and uniqueness results are studied through Banach's contraction principle and Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem. We also establish two various kinds of Ulam stability results for the proposed problems. Further, two pertinent examples are presented to demonstrate the reported results.
Retinal Vessel Segmentation Using Modified Symmetrical Local Threshold, Umar Özgünalp
Retinal Vessel Segmentation Using Modified Symmetrical Local Threshold, Umar Özgünalp
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Retinal vessel segmentation is important for the identification of many diseases including glaucoma, hypertensive retinopathy, diabetes, and hypertension. Moreover, retinal vessel diameter is associated with cardiovascular mortality. Accurate detection of blood vessels improves the detection of exudates in color fundus images, as well as detection of the retinal nerve, optic disc, or fovea. A retinal vessel is a darker stripe on a lighter background. Thus, the objective is very similar to the lane detection task for intelligent vehicles. A lane on a road is a light stripe on a darker background (i.e. asphalt). For lane detection, the symmetrical local threshold …

Automatic Characterization Of Copy Number Polymorphism Using High Throughput Sequencing, Can Alkan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Genome structural variation, broadly defined as alterations longer than 50 bp, are important sources for genetic variation among humans, including those that cause complex diseases such as autism, developmental delay, and schizophrenia. Although there has been considerable progress in characterizing structural variation since the beginnings of the 1000 Genomes Project, one form of structural variation called segmental duplications (SDs) remained largely understudied in large cohorts. This is mostly because SDs cannot be accurately discovered using the alignment files generated with standard read mapping tools. Instead, they can only be found when multiple map locations are considered. There is still a …

A Modified Relay-Race Algorithm For Floorplanning In Pcb And Ic Design, Mert Vatansever, İsmai̇l Fai̇k Başkaya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Floorplanning is a fundamental design step in the physical design of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and integrated circuits (ICs), as it handles the complexity of layout design. From a computational point of view, the floorplanning problem is an NP hard problem, and the size of the search space grows exponentially with increasing numbers of modules. Thus, the algorithm used is an essential factor for speed and quality of the floorplanning process. Although polynomial-time floorplanning algorithms can be implemented when solution space is limited to slicing floorplans, optimal solutions often exist only in the nonslicing floorplan search space. Various stochastic algorithms …

An Arbitrary Waveform Magnetic Nanoparticle Relaxometer With An Asymmetricalthree-Section Gradiometric Receive Coil, Can Bariş Top
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have a wide range of clinical applications for imaging, therapy, and biosensing. Superparamagnetic MNPs can be directly visualized with high spatiotemporal resolution using the magnetic particle imaging (MPI) modality. The image resolution of MPI depends on the relaxation properties of the MNPs. Therefore, characterization of MNP response under alternating magnetic field excitation is necessary to predict MPI imaging performance and develop optimized MNPs. Biosensing applications also make use of the change in the relaxation response of MNPs after binding to a target agent. As MNP relaxation properties change with temperature and viscosity, noninvasive probing of these microenvironmental …

On Efficient Computation Of Equilibrium Under Social Coalition Structures, Buğra Çaşkurlu, Özgün Eki̇ci̇, Fati̇h Erdem Kizilkaya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In game-theoretic settings the key notion of analysis is an equilibrium, which is a profile of agent strategies such that no viable coalition of agents can improve upon their coalitional welfare by jointly changing their strategies. A Nash equilibrium, where viable coalitions are only singletons, and a super strong equilibrium, where every coalition is deemed viable, are two extreme scenarios in regard to coalition formation. A recent trend in the literature is to consider equilibrium notions that allow for coalition formation in between these two extremes and which are suitable to model social coalition structures that arise in various real-life …
