Applying 2 biologically inspired optimization methods, namely particle swarm optimization method and a genetic algorithm, the membership functions and rule base of a basic PI-type FL model were parameterized and optimized simultaneously and successfully. An online self-tuning method was …
Speech Recognition Using Ann And Predator-Influenced Civilized Swarm Optimization Algorithm, Teena Mittal, Rajendra Kumar Sharma
Speech Recognition Using Ann And Predator-Influenced Civilized Swarm Optimization Algorithm, Teena Mittal, Rajendra Kumar Sharma
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes a hybrid optimization technique, predator-influenced civilized swarm optimization, by integrating civilized swarm optimization (CSO) and predator-prey optimization (PPO) techniques. CSO is the integration of the attributes of particle swarm optimization and a society civilization algorithm (SCA). In the SCA, the swarm is divided into a few societies, and each society has its own society leader (SL); other individuals of the society are termed society members. The combination of all such societies forms a civilization, and the best-performing SL becomes the civilization leader (CL). In CSO, SLs and members update their positions through the guidance of their own …
High-Order Uniformly Convergent Method For Nonlinear Singularly Perturbed Delay Differential Equations With Small Shifts, Abdelhay Salama, Dirhem Al-Amery
High-Order Uniformly Convergent Method For Nonlinear Singularly Perturbed Delay Differential Equations With Small Shifts, Abdelhay Salama, Dirhem Al-Amery
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we propose and analyze a high-order uniform method for solving boundary value problems (BVPs) for singularly perturbed nonlinear delay differential equations with small shifts (delay and advance). Such types of BVPs play an important role in the modeling of various real life phenomena, such as the variational problem in control theory and in the determination of the expected time for the generation of action potentials in nerve cells. To obtain parameter-uniform convergence, the present method is constructed on a piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh. The error estimate is discussed and it is shown that the method is uniformly convergent …

On The Nphss-Kpik Iteration Method For Low-Rank Complex Sylvester Equations Arising From Time-Periodic Fractional Diffusion Equations, Min-Li Zeng, Guo-Feng Zhang
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Based on the Hermitian and skew-Hermitian (HS) splitting for non-Hermitian matrices, a nonalternating preconditioned Hermitian and skew-Hermitian splitting-Krylov plus inverted Krylov subspace (NPHSS-KPIK) iteration method for solving a class of large and low-rank complex Sylvester equations arising from the two-dimensional time-periodic fractional diffusion problem is established. The local convergence condition is proposed and the optimal parameter is given. Numerical experiments are used to show the efficiency of the NPHSS-KPIK iteration method for solving the Sylvester equations arising from the time-periodic fractional diffusion equations.

In this study, a new approach based on artificial neural multinetworks is presented to overcome the problem. Two different artificial neural networks were suggested instead of vector selection and sector determination processes in the conventional direct torque control method. The conventional and the proposed control methods were evaluated on an induction motor through an experimental set. It was observed that the speed and torque responses of the proposed method were better than those of the conventional …
A Simple Hybrid Method For Segmenting Vessel Structures In Retinal Fundus Images, Cemal Köse
A Simple Hybrid Method For Segmenting Vessel Structures In Retinal Fundus Images, Cemal Köse
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a simple, fast, and efficient hybrid segmentation method is presented for extracting vessel structures in retinal fundus images. Basically, this hybrid approach combines circular and naive Bayes classifiers to extract blood vessels in retinal fundus images. The circular method samples pixels along the enlarging circles centered at the current pixel and classifies the current pixel as vessel or nonvessel. An elimination technique is then employed to eliminate the nonvessel fragments from the processed image. The naive Bayes method as a supervised technique uses a very small set of features to segment retinal vessels in retinal images. The …

Quadraticeigenparameter-Dependent Quantum Difference Equations, Yelda Aygar Küçükevci̇li̇oğlu
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
The main aim of this paper is to construct quantum extension of the discrete Sturm--Liouville equation consisting of second-order difference equation and boundary conditions that depend on a quadratic eigenvalue parameter. We consider a boundary value problem (BVP) consisting of a second-order quantum difference equation and boundary conditions that depend on the quadratic eigenvalue parameter. We present a condition that guarantees that this BVP has a finite number of eigenvalues and spectral singularities with finite multiplicities.

The aim of this paper is to present a comparative study about programmable and reconfigurable implementations of the FitzHugh--Nagumo, Izhikevich, and Hindmarsh--Rose neuron models. Since field programmable analog array (FPAA) and field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices offer several advantages such as flexible design possibilities, reduction of the complexity of design, real-time modification, and software control for programmable and reconfigurable implementations of …
System Identification By Using Migrating Birds Optimization Algorithm: A Comparative Performance Analysis, Hasan Makas, Nejat Yumuşak
System Identification By Using Migrating Birds Optimization Algorithm: A Comparative Performance Analysis, Hasan Makas, Nejat Yumuşak
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
System identification is an important process to investigate and understand the behavior of an unknown system. It aims to establish an interface between the real system and its mathematical representation. Conventional system identification methods generally need differentiable search spaces and they cannot be used for nondifferentiable multimodal search spaces. On the other hand, metaheuristic search algorithms are independent from the search space characteristics and they do not need much knowledge about the real system. The migrating birds optimization algorithm is a recently introduced nature-inspired metaheuristic neighborhood search approach. It simulates the V flight formation of migrating birds, which enables birds …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The majority of power system faults occur in transmission lines. The classification of these faults in power systems is an important issue. In this paper, the real parameters of a 28 km, 154 kV transmission line between Simav and Demirci in Turkey's electricity transmission network is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. Wavelet packet transform (WPT) is applied to instantaneous voltage signals. Instantaneous active power components are obtained by multiplying instantaneous currents obtained from a voltage source side with these WPT-based voltage signal components. A new feature vector extraction scheme is employed by calculating the energies of instantaneous active power components. Constructed feature …
Some Properties Of Digital H-Spaces, Özgür Ege, İsmet Karaca
Some Properties Of Digital H-Spaces, Özgür Ege, İsmet Karaca
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we study certain properties of digital H-spaces. We prove that a digital image that has the same digital homotopy type with any digital H-space is also a digital H-space. We show that the digital fundamental group of a digital H-space is abelian. We give examples that are related to a digital homotopy associative H-space and a $\kappa $-contractible digital H-space. Several important applications of digital H-spaces are given in computer vision and image processing. Finally, we deal with the importance of digital H-space in digital topology and image processing. We conclude that any $\kappa $-contractible digital image …
Application Of Kappa Statistics In Sequential Tests For Family-Based Design, Farid Rajabli
Application Of Kappa Statistics In Sequential Tests For Family-Based Design, Farid Rajabli
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Family-based designs are commonly used in genetic association studies to locate markers associated with diseases. It is a challenging task to collect a large enough sample size, perform a statistical test, and obtain the desired statistical power. The sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) was introduced to overcome the limited sample size problem. However, the drawback of SPRT is that, for the sake of accuracy, the test leaves many markers in a gray zone meaning ``no decision''. In this article, we propose a novel approach: a sequential probability ratio test `plus' (SPRT$+)$ to reduce the number of these gray zone markers. …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), is one of the most important insect pests in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. Thrips infestation is the main cause of vegetable crops losses in low polythene tunnels and plastic greenhouses. Chemical control has been the primary means to control F. Occidentalis in protected cultivation systems in Turkey. A search of alternatives to conventional insecticides for the control of F. Occidentalis has drawn increased interest in the use of biocontrol agents. This study evaluated the control efficiency of F. Occidentalis on eggplants through releases of the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) at a …

Turkish Journal of Biology
Multicellular organisms comprise a variety of cell types that have the same genotype but distinct phenotypes. This diversity is possible because of the establishment of a specific epigenetic landscape that stabilizes gene expression profiles that are exclusive for a particular cell type. Accumulating data indicate that the maintenance, loss, and reacquisition of pluripotency are dynamically regulated by epigenetic alterations evoked by a subset of cellular factors. A better understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in stem cell biology and differentiation will improve our ability to use these cells in the clinical context. Here we review current insights into the epigenetic …

Throughout its half a century of development, stem cell research has included two main fields: embryonic stem (ES) cell research and the reprogramming of body somatic cells. In the present review we focused on stem cell reprogramming and its relation with otolaryngology. The human body somatic cells are transformed into pluripotent cells by three basic methods: the somatic nuclear transfer method, the somatic cell fusion method (getting cellular pluripotent capacity in cellular reprogramming), and by transcription factors influencing the body somatic cells to generate reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. ES cells and iPS cells have pluripotency and differentiate into …

The cornea, the transparent part of the eye that helps in the formation of images, has multiple layers. Among them, the superficial epithelial layer is protected and maintained homeostatically by the limbus, located in the periphery of the cornea. Limbal stem cells are located at the basal layer of the limbus and the loss of these cells is called limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). LSCD is characterized by corneal vascularization, inflammation, and conjunctivalization, which ultimately lead to blindness. Several clinical transplantation procedures used for the treatment of LSCD are cultivated limbal epithelial transplantation, simple limbal epithelial transplantation, and cultured oral …

Analysis Of Global Micrornaome Profiles Of Caenorhabditis Elegans Oocytes And Early Embryos, Selen Güçlü Durgun, Ahmet Raşi̇t Öztürk, Arzu Atalay
Turkish Journal of Biology
One of the most complex cell transformations in biology is the remodeling of a fertilized oocyte into a totipotent zygote. There is no transcription during this event, and therefore mRNAs and proteins accumulated in the oocyte during oogenesis are utilized until zygotic genome activation. In order to differentiate into somatic cells, the embryo must erase the totipotency signature coming from the oocyte cytoplasm in the somatic blastomeres. In this study, the microRNAome profiles of oocytes and early embryos before and after zygotic genome activation were identified. By using next-generation high-throughput pyrosequencing and miRNA microarray techniques, miRNAome profiles of Caenorhabditis elegans …
