Upon 3' and 5' RACE analysis of the cDNAs, two full length genes designated Cm-ETR1 and Cm-ETR2 were obtained. Cloning and sequencing of the genes showed that Cm-ETR1 and Cm-ETR2 genes were 2320 and 2537 bp in length, respectively. Cm-ETR1 had a predicted open reading frame (ORF) of 2223 nucleotides encoding a protein of 740 …
Seed Morphology Of Some Silene L. (Caryophyllaceae) Species Collected From Turkey, Mehmet Yaşar Dadandi, Kemal Yildiz
Seed Morphology Of Some Silene L. (Caryophyllaceae) Species Collected From Turkey, Mehmet Yaşar Dadandi, Kemal Yildiz
Turkish Journal of Botany
The seed micro- and macromorphology of 39 Silene taxa were studied by stereomicroscope and scanning electron microscope. Quantitative (9) and qualitative (11) values of seed characters vary greatly both within and between taxa. The tree topology of UPGMA based on quantitative values does not supported the traditional relationship. Therefore, we concluded that seed characters of Silene alone cannot be used to describe taxa without detecting the full range of intra- and intertaxon variation of those characters.

A New Systematic And Flexible Method For Developing Hierarchical Decision-Making Models, Ulaş Beldek, Mehmet Kemal Leblebi̇ci̇oğlu
A New Systematic And Flexible Method For Developing Hierarchical Decision-Making Models, Ulaş Beldek, Mehmet Kemal Leblebi̇ci̇oğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The common practice in multilevel decision-making (DM) systems is to achieve the final decision by going through a finite number of DM levels. In this study, a new multilevel DM model is proposed. This model is called the hierarchical DM (HDM) model and it is supposed to provide a flexible way of interaction and information flow between the consecutive levels that allows policy changes in DM procedures if necessary. In the model, in the early levels, there are primary agents that perform DM tasks. As the levels increase, the information associated with these agents is combined through suitable processes and …
An Intelligence-Based Islanding Detection Method Using Dwt And Ann, Mehrdad Heidari, Ghodratollah Seifossadat, Morteza Razaz
An Intelligence-Based Islanding Detection Method Using Dwt And Ann, Mehrdad Heidari, Ghodratollah Seifossadat, Morteza Razaz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a new method based on artificial neural network (ANN) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed for electrical islanding detection. Transient signals produced during an event are used in the proposed method. ANN is trained to classify the transient events as islanding and nonislanding. The required features for classifying are extracted through DWT of voltage and current transient signals. The proposed method is then simulated on a medium voltage distribution system of CIGRE with 2 kinds of DGs. Results show that this method can detect electrical islands more rapidly and accurately.

Improving The Performance Of Primal--Dual Interior-Point Method In Inverse Conductivity Problems, Ashkan Javaherian, Amir Movafeghi, Reza Faghihi, Effat Yahaghi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This study improves the performance of primal--dual interior-point method in inverse conductivity problems via replacing the conventional, complicatedly calculated scalar regularization parameter with a diagonal matrix termed ``multi-regularization parameter matrix'' here. The solution of the PD--IPM depends considerably on the choice of the regularization parameter. Calculation of the optimal regularization parameter, which yields the most accurate solution, is not simple due to the long iterative nature of the algorithm. The objective optimization, which is implemented by minimizing error in the solutions over an extensive range of the regularization parameters, yields the most accurate solution that can be achieved, although this …
Continuous-Time Hopfield Neural Network-Based Optimized Solution To 2-Channel Allocation Problem, Zekeri̇ya Uykan
Continuous-Time Hopfield Neural Network-Based Optimized Solution To 2-Channel Allocation Problem, Zekeri̇ya Uykan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The channel allocation problem in cellular radio systems is NP-complete, and thus its general solution is not known for even the 2-channel case. It is well known that the link gain system matrix (or received-signal power system matrix) of the radio network is (and may be highly) asymmetric, and that as the Hopfield neural network is applied to optimization problems, its weight matrix should be symmetric. The main contribution of this paper is as follows: turning the channel allocation problem into a maxCut graph partitioning problem, we propose a simple and effective continuous-time Hopfield neural network-based solution by determining its …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Microcalcification detection is a very important issue in early diagnosis of breast cancer. Generally physicians use mammogram images for this task; however, sometimes analyzing these images become a hard task because of problems in images such as high brightness values, dense tissues, noise, and insufficient contrast level. In this paper, we present a novel technique for the task of microcalcification detection. This technique consists of three steps. The first step is focused on removing pectoral muscle and unnecessary parts from the mammogram images by using cellular neural networks (CNNs), which makes this a novel process. In the second step, we …

Emg Classification In Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome And Periodic Limb Movement Syndrome Patients By Using Wavelet Packet Transform And Extreme Learning Machine, Necmetti̇n Sezgi̇n
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Electromyogram (EMG) signals, measured at the skin surface, provide crucial access to the muscle tones of a body. Some diseases, such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and periodic limb movement syndrome (PLMS), are closely associated with the electrical activity of muscle tones. In this paper, a hybrid model containing wavelet packet transform (WPT) plus an extreme learning machine (ELM) was proposed to classify EMG signals in OSAS and PLMS patients. At first, the WPT was used to extract the features of the EMG signal, and then these features were fed to the ELM classifier. The mean classification accuracy of …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Denoising of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals plays a vital role in sEMG-based mechatronics applications and diagnosis of muscular diseases. In this study, 3 different denoising methods of sEMG signals, empirical mode decomposition, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and median filter, are examined. These methods are applied to 5 different levels of noise-added synthetic sEMG signals. For the DWT-based denoising technique, 40 different wavelet functions, 4 different threshold-selection-rules, and 2 threshold-methods are tested iteratively. Three different window-sized median filters are applied as well. The SNR values of denoised synthetic signals are calculated, and the results are used to select DWT and median …

Regulation Of Methane Gas Output From An Anaerobic Reactor System Using Moving Horizon $H_{\Infty }$ Control, Fatma Yildiz Taşcikaraoğlu, Şeref Naci̇ Engi̇n
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, the moving horizon $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$\textbf{ }control used for tracking a desired methane gas output from an anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor is compared with classical $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$ control and a proportional-integral-derivative controller. The nonlinear system is first linearized around the set of equilibrium and operating points selected, and then the linear matrix inequalities required to comply with the constraints and guarantee the stability are constructed. Finally, the experimental results are obtained by implementing the control method in a MATLAB environment. It is concluded that moving horizon $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$ control yields satisfactory results.

Bifurcation And Dynamics Of A Normal Form Map, Reza Khoshsiar Ghaziani
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This paper investigates the dynamics and stability properties of a so-called planar truncated normal form map. This kind of map is widely used in the applied context, especially in normal form coefficients of n-dimensional maps. We determine analytically the border collision bifurcation curves that characterize the dynamic behaviors of the system. We first analyze stability of the fixed points and the existence of local bifurcations. Our analysis shows the presence of a rich variety of local bifurcations, namely stable fixed points, periodic cycles, quasiperiodic cycles that are constraints to stable attractors called invariant closed curves, and chaos, where dynamics of …
