I will also be defining the three most important elements of …

Finsler Pp-Waves And The Penrose Limit, Amir Babak Aazami, Miguel Ángel Javaloyes, Marcus C. Werner

Mathematics

We extend the notion of a Lorentzian pp-wave to that of Finsler spacetimes by providing a coordinate-independent definition of a Finsler pp-wave with respect to the Chern connection; our definition also includes the special case of a plane wave. This treatment introduces suitable lightlike coordinates, in analogy with the Lorentzian case, and utilizes the anisotropic calculus recently developed by one of the authors. We then extend Penrose’s “plane wave limit” to the setting of Finsler spacetimes. New examples of such Finsler pp-waves are also presented. © 2023, The Author(s).

Korean American Young Adults: Spiritual And Emotional Formation Though Art, Hesed Lee

Doctor of Ministry

It is a well-known phenomenon in America that many young adults are disengaged from the Church, at the same time they are battling internal emotional conflicts while trying to understand their faith journey. Even though most of them grew up in the Church, participated in church programs, and learned about God, they are anxious, lonely, and struggling to discover their spiritual identity. What then, what are we missing? After conducting an anonymous online survey with Korean American young adults and gathering narrative research from Korean American young adults as well as Asian American English Ministry pastors, this paper explores the …

Interprofessional Collaborative Attitudes: Comparing Social Work Learners To Their Medicine And Nursing Peers, Joseph Bartholomew, Marcia Mount French, Hea-Won Kim

Florida Public Health Review

Interprofessional learning activities in higher education aim to unite healthcare professionals in their future practice, thus reducing duplication and fragmentation of services. This study uses a social learning perspective to examine advanced practice medicine, nursing, and social work learners’ attitudes toward interprofessional education and collaborative practice activities within their university programs. The authors used a cross-sectional design to administer a questionnaire that included the Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (IPAS) to 151 advanced practice health care learners (internal medicine residents, nurse practitioner students, master’s-level social work students). Findings indicated significant differences in three subsections of the IPAS. Social work learners possessed a …

H-Plane Siw Horn Antenna With Enhanced Front-To-Back Ratio For 5g Applications, Özlem Akgün, Nurhan Türker Tokan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) antennas are indispensable components in the fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication systems. With the inherent advantages of integration capability, substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna is an excellent choice for applications in the mmWave frequency bands. However, reflection losses occur at dielectric-filled thin apertures of SIW antennas. These reflections can be overcome by impedance matching between the aperture and the free space. In this study, we introduce an mmWave SIW horn antenna having impedance matching transitions (IMTs) across the horn's aperture width. The designed antenna, operating in the 24-28 GHz band, is simulated with a full-wave analysis tool. The simulation …

Development Of Two Stage Optimization-Based Demand Response Technique For Smart Homes Under Real Time Pricing, Govind Rai Goyal, Shelly Vadhera

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Residential load management deals with two major objectives viz. minimizing the cost of monthly electricity bill and peak demand of power consumption. Both objectives can be achieved by effective operational scheduling of smart home appliances. These two objectives are conflicting in nature because rescheduling of appliances in order to minimize one objective may result in the rise of another. To achieve both objectives concurrently, an algorithm is suggested in this paper based on artificial intelligent techniques like cuckoo search, hybrid GA-PSO, and adaptive cuckoo search. The proposed algorithm is tested successfully on seven households of different monthly power consumption and …

Boomerang Algorithm Based On Swarm Optimization For Inverse Kinematics Of 6 Dof Open Chain Manipulators, Okan Duymazlar, Di̇lşad Engi̇n

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, a feasible swarm intelligence algorithm is proposed that computes the inverse kinematics solution of 6 degree of freedom (DOF) industrial robot arms, which are frequently used in industrial and medical applications. The proposed algorithm is named as Boomerang algorithm due to its recursive structure. The proposed algorithm aims to reduce the computation time to feasible levels without increasing the position and orientation errors. In order to reduce the computational time in swarm optimization algorithms and increase feasibility, an alternative definition method was used instead of the DH method in defining the robot arm kinematic configuration. The effect …

3d Point Cloud Classification With Acgan-3d And Vacwgan-Gp, Onur Ergün, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Machine learning and deep learning techniques are widely used to make sense of 3D point cloud data which became ubiquitous and important due to the recent advances in 3D scanning technologies and other sensors. In this work, we propose two networks to predict the class of the input 3D point cloud: 3D Auxiliary Classifier Generative Adversarial Network (ACGAN-3D) and Versatile Auxiliary Conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network with Gradient Penalty (VACWGAN-GP). Unlike other classifiers, we are able to enlarge the limited data set with the data produced by generative models. We consequently aim to increase the success of the model by …

Teamwork Optimization Based Dtc For Enhanced Performance Of Im Based Electric Vehicle, Anjan Kumar Sahoo, Ranjan Kumar Jena

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The tailpipe emissions caused by vehicles using internal combustion engines are a significant source of air pollution. To reduce the health hazards caused by air pollution, advanced countries are now adopting the use of electric vehicles (EVs). Due to the advancement of electric vehicles, research and development efforts are being made to improve the performance of EV motors. With a nominal reference stator flux, the classical induction motor drive generates significant flux, torque ripple, and current harmonics. In this work, a teamwork optimization algorithm (TOA)-based optimal stator flux strategy is suggested for torque ripple reduction applied in a classical direct …

A Multistep Fusion Matcher Approach For Large Scale Latent Fingerprint/Palmprint Recognition, İsmai̇l Kilinç, Yusuf Oğuzhan Artan, Emre Başeski̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Latent fingerprints are ubiquitously used as forensic evidence by law enforcement agencies in solving crimes. However, due to deformations and artifacts within latent fingerprint images, performance of the automated latent recognition systems are far from desired levels. A basic matcher specifically designed for clean fingerprints using a minutiae-based matching algorithm can have high speed and accuracy in a sensor-to-sensor matching task, but low accuracy in matching latent prints, due to scale, rotation and quality differences between latent and sensor images. In this study, we propose a unique multistep fusion matcher (FM) on top of a base matcher that would utilize …

Study Of Helical Antenna Endowing Short Wire Length And Compact Structure For High-Frequency Operations And Its Exclusive Manufacturing Process, Meli̇h Aslan, Kaan Şik, İzzet Güzelkara, İbrahi̇m Tuna Özdür, Veli̇ Tayfun Kiliç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper a study of a helical antenna resonating at high-frequency (HF) band with a very compact structure is reported. The designed antenna's S11 parameter magnitude change with frequency was calculated for different geometrical parameters. For each case, first, only a single parameter was changed. Then for a fair comparison, multiple parameters were changed simultaneously while the total wire length was set to be constant. Also, shifts in resonance frequencies and variations in -10 dB bandwidths were investigated. Our results show that resonance behaviour changes distinctively with the geometrical parameters and it allows shortening of the antenna wire length. …

Solving Turkish Math Word Problems By Sequence-To-Sequence Encoder-Decoder Models, Esi̇n Gedi̇k, Tunga Güngör

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Solving math word problems (MWP) is a challenging task due to the semantic gap between natural language texts and mathematical equations. The main purpose of the task is to take a written math problem as input and produce a proper equation as output for solving that problem. This paper describes a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) neural model for automatically solving Turkish MWPs based on their semantic meanings in the text. It comprises a bidirectional encoder to comprehend the semantics of the problem by encoding the input sequence and a decoder with attention to extract the equation by tracking the semantic meanings of …

Reconstructing Dynamic Human Shapes From Sparse Silhouettes Via Latent Space Optimization Of Parametric Shape Models, Kanika Singla, Parma Nand

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The problem of dynamic 3D reconstruction has gained popularity over the last few years with most approaches relying on data driven learning and optimization methods. However this is quite a challenging task because of the need for tracking different features in both space and time?that too of deformable objects-where such robust tracking may not always be possible. A common way to better ground the problem is by using some forms of regularizations primarily on the shape representations. Over the years, mesh-based linear blend skinning models have been the standard for fitting templates of humans to the observed time series data …

An Exploratory Study On The Effect Of Applying Various Artificial Neural Networks To The Classification Of Lower Limb Injury, Rachel Yun, May Salama, Lamiaa Elrefaei

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper explores the application of a deep neural network (DNN) framework to human gait analysis for injury classification. The paper aims to identify whether a subject is healthy or has an injury of the ankle, knee, hip, or heel solely based on ground reaction force plate measurements. We consider how three DNNs-the multi-layer perceptron (MLP), fully convolutional network (FCN), and residual network (ResNet)-can be applied to gait analysis when the number of trainable network parameters far exceeds the number of training samples, and benchmark their performance in this context against that of shallow neural networks. The DNN architectures outperformed …

Spayk: An Environment For Spiking Neural Network Simulation, Aykut Görkem Gelen, Ayten Atasoy

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In research areas such as mobile robotics and computer vision, energy and computational efficiency have become critical. This has greatly increased interest in high-efficiency neuromorphic hardware and spiking neural networks. Because neuromorphic hardware is not yet widely available, spiking neural network studies are conducted by simulations. There are numerous simulators available today, each designed for a specific purpose. In this paper, a novel and open source package (SPAYK) for simulating spiking neural networks is presented. SPAYK has been proposed to speed up spiking neural network research. In the majority of simulators, networks are expressed with differential equations and require advanced …

A Review On Derivative Hedging Using Reinforcement Learning, Peng Liu

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Hedging is a common trading activity to manage the risk of engaging in transactions that involve derivatives such as options. Perfect and timely hedging, however, is an impossible task in the real market that characterizes discrete-time transactions with costs. Recent years have witnessed reinforcement learning (RL) in formulating optimal hedging strategies. Specifically, different RL algorithms have been applied to learn the optimal offsetting position based on market conditions, offering an automatic risk management solution that proposes optimal hedging strategies while catering to both market dynamics and restrictions. In this article, the author provides a comprehensive review of the use of …

Cooperative Filtering And Parameter Identification For Advection-Diffusion Processes Using A Mobile Sensor Network, Jie You, Ziqiao Zhang, Fumin Zhang, Wencen Wu

Faculty Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activity

This article presents an online parameter identification scheme for advection-diffusion processes using data collected by a mobile sensor network. The advection-diffusion equation is incorporated into the information dynamics associated with the trajectories of the mobile sensors. A constrained cooperative Kalman filter is developed to provide estimates of the field values and gradients along the trajectories of the mobile sensors so that the temporal variations in the field values can be estimated. This leads to a co-design scheme for state estimation and parameter identification for advection-diffusion processes that is different from comparable schemes using sensors installed at fixed spatial locations. Using …

Checking The Scales: A Psychometric Evaluation Of The Weight Concerns Scale In A Sample Of College-Aged Cisgender Men From The United States, Kyle M. Brasil, Callie E. Mims, Ryon C. Mcdermott, Mary E. Pritchard

Psychological Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Historically, western societies have considered body image issues to predominantly affect young, White women. While in recent years men’s body image issues have been increasingly highlighted by researchers and the media alike, many instruments currently used to identify clinically significant body image disturbances were developed and validated with samples solely of women and/or girls. One such measure, Killen et al.’s (1994) Weight Concerns Scale (WCS), was initially validated in a sample of adolescent girls. The WCS has yet to be validated in samples of men, despite being used in large national surveys of college men and women (e.g., the Healthy …
