Measurement Of Network-Based And Random Meetings In Social Networks, Pranav Nerurkar, Madhav Chandane, Sunil Bhirud
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Social networks are created by the underlying behavior of the actors involved in them. Each actor has interactions with other actors in the network and these interactions decide whether a social relationship should develop between them. Such interactions may occur due to meeting processes such as chance-based meetings or network-based (choice) meetings. Depending upon which of these two types of interactions plays a greater role in creation of links, a social network shall evolve accordingly. This evolution shall result in the social network obtaining a suitable structure and certain unique features. The aim of this work is to determine the …

Polyhedral Conic Kernel-Like Functions For Svms, Gürkan Öztürk, Emre Çi̇men
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, we propose a new approach that can be used as a kernel-like function for support vector machines (SVMs) in order to get nonlinear classification surfaces. We combined polyhedral conic functions (PCFs) with the SVM method. To get nonlinear classification surfaces, kernel functions are used with SVMs. However, the parameter selection of the kernel function affects the classification accuracy. Generally, in order to get successful classifiers which can predict unknown data accurately, best parameters are explored with the grid search method which is computationally expensive. We solved this problem with the proposed method. There is no need to …

A Novel Accuracy Assessment Model For Video Stabilization Approaches Based On Background Motion, Md Alamgir Hossain, Tien-Dung Nguyen, Eui Nam Huh
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we propose a new accuracy measurement model for the video stabilization method based on background motion that can accurately measure the performance of the video stabilization algorithm. Undesired residual motion present in the video can quantitatively be measured by the pixel by pixel background motion displacement between two consecutive background frames. First of all, foregrounds are removed from a stabilized video, and then we find the two-dimensional flow vectors for each pixel separately between two consecutive background frames. After that, we calculate a Euclidean distance between these two flow vectors for each pixel one by one, which …

Why Protein Conformers In Molecular Dynamics Simulations Differ From Their Crystal Structures: A Thermodynamic Insight, Fi̇li̇ppo Pullara, Mao Wenzhi, Mert Gür
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Conformers generally deviate structurally from their starting X-ray crystal structures early in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Studies have recognized such structural differences and attempted to provide an explanation for and justify the necessity of MD equilibrations. However, a detailed explanation based on fundamental physics and validation on a large ensemble of protein structures is still missing. Here we provide the first thermodynamic insights into the radically different thermodynamic conditions of crystallization solutions and conventional MD simulations. Crystallization solution conditions can lead to nonphysiologically high ion concentrations, low temperatures, and crystal packing with strong specific protein--protein interactions, not present under physiological …
