Further, a new power and area efficient approximate carry skip (PAEA-CSK) adder is proposed using the novel adder segment. The effectiveness of the proposed PAEA-CSK adder is evaluated and compared over the existing adders by implementing …


Performance Improvement Of Induction Motor Drives With Model-Based Predictive Torque Control, Fati̇h Korkmaz Jan 2020

Performance Improvement Of Induction Motor Drives With Model-Based Predictive Torque Control, Fati̇h Korkmaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the most important advantages of using modeling and simulation software in design and control engineering is the ability to predict system behavior within specified conditions. This paper presents a novel error vector-based control algorithm that aims to reduce torque ripples predicting flux and torque errors in a conventional vector-controlled induction motor. For this purpose, a new control model has been developed that envisages flux change by applying probabilistic space vectors' torque and flux control. In the proposed predictive control algorithm, flux and torque errors are calculated for each candidate voltage vector. Thus, the optimal output voltage vector that …


Hyperheuristics For Explicit Resource Partitioning In Simultaneous Multithreadedprocessors, İsa Ahmet Güney, Kemal Poyraz, Gürhan Küçük, Ender Özcan Jan 2020

Hyperheuristics For Explicit Resource Partitioning In Simultaneous Multithreadedprocessors, İsa Ahmet Güney, Kemal Poyraz, Gürhan Küçük, Ender Özcan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) processors, various data path resources are concurrently shared by many threads. A few heuristic approaches that explicitly distribute those resources among threads with the goal of improved overall performance have already been proposed. A selection hyperheuristic is a high-level search methodology that mixes a predetermined set of heuristics in an iterative framework to utilize their strengths for solving a given problem instance. In this study, we propose a set of selection hyperheuristics for selecting and executing the heuristic with the best performance at a given stage. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of …

Additionally, the proposed paper-based structure has rows of closely spaced perforations at …


Peak Shaving And Technical Loss Minimization In Distribution Grids: Atime-Of-Use-Based Pricing Approach For Distribution Service Tariffs, Osman Bülent Tör, Mahmut Erkut Cebeci̇, Mehmet Koç, Saaed Teimourzadeh, Deren Atli, Simona Vasilica Oprea, Adela Bara Jan 2020

Peak Shaving And Technical Loss Minimization In Distribution Grids: Atime-Of-Use-Based Pricing Approach For Distribution Service Tariffs, Osman Bülent Tör, Mahmut Erkut Cebeci̇, Mehmet Koç, Saaed Teimourzadeh, Deren Atli, Simona Vasilica Oprea, Adela Bara

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Deployment of time-of-use (ToU)-based retail energy tariffs (i.e. tariff for energy consumption- not the tariff for distribution service) is a common practice to incentivize consumers to use more energy at off-peak times. Distribution service tariffs (DSTs) are usually time-independent, which results in insensitivity of load to the distribution service cost. However, DST can also be time-dependent, which is studied in this paper. This study presents a methodology to address the effect of ToU pricing (i.e. time-dependent) of DSTs on peak shaving and technical loss minimization in power distribution grids. Here, the main focus is to assess the level of consumers' …


A High-Level And Adaptive Metaheuristic Selection Algorithm For Solving Highdimensional Bound-Constrained Continuous Optimization Problems, Osman Gökalp, Aybars Uğur Jan 2020

A High-Level And Adaptive Metaheuristic Selection Algorithm For Solving Highdimensional Bound-Constrained Continuous Optimization Problems, Osman Gökalp, Aybars Uğur

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Metaheuristic algorithms are used to find sufficiently good solutions for the optimization problems that are not solvable in a polynomial time. Although metaheuristics offer a general problem-solving framework and can be applied to various types of optimization problems, their performances depend heavily on the problem to be solved. Thus, hybrid metaheuristics are used to combine strong parts of different algorithms. In this study, a novel adaptive metaheuristic selection algorithm is proposed for solving bound-constrained continuous optimization problems. The developed method hybridizes artificial bee colony, differential evolution, and particle swarm optimization at a high level where each algorithm works independently from …

The proposed decision rules are then modified to deal with the presence of thermal noise and interfering targets. The proposed detectors are investigated on the basis of synthetic data as well as real data of the IPIX radar database. The obtained results exhibit a high probability of …


On Efficient Computation Of Equilibrium Under Social Coalition Structures, Buğra Çaşkurlu, Özgün Eki̇ci̇, Fati̇h Erdem Kizilkaya Jan 2020

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 …


Wavelength Sensitivity Of Indium Tin Oxide On Surface Plasmon Resonance Angles, Antonio Ruiz, Carlos Villa Angulo, Ivan Olaf Hernandez-Fuentes Jan 2020

Wavelength Sensitivity Of Indium Tin Oxide On Surface Plasmon Resonance Angles, Antonio Ruiz, Carlos Villa Angulo, Ivan Olaf Hernandez-Fuentes

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a charge-density oscillation that occurs when a beam of p-polarized monochromatic light impinges with a greater angle than the critical angle in a dielectric-metal interface. Because of the high losses related to metals, the generated surface plasmon waves propagate with high attenuation in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions in most of the dielectric-metal interfaces. An alternative to reduce such losses is to use a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) film. In this paper, we compared theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of the SPR angle $\theta_{SPR}$ on the interfaces of a borosilicate prism (Bp) and …


Formation Of A Wireless Sensor Network Using Custom-Designed Sensors Having Lowpower And Low Cost Components, Veysel Yaman Akgün, Engi̇n Maşazade Jan 2020

Formation Of A Wireless Sensor Network Using Custom-Designed Sensors Having Lowpower And Low Cost Components, Veysel Yaman Akgün, Engi̇n Maşazade

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we first design a sensor with low power and low cost components, namely an MSP430G2553 microcontroller (MCU), nRF24L01+ communication unit, and a light-dependent resistor (LDR). Then, connecting these custom-designed sensors with a central node, a fusion center (FC), we form a wireless sensor network (WSN) in which sensors measure light intensities and send their measurements to the FC for final inference. Since the default addressing structure of nRF24L01+ can simultaneously connect up to 6 devices, in order to have more connections, we define a new addressing scheme for the transmissions between sensors and the FC. Finally, as …


Improving The Efficiency Of Dnn Hardware Accelerator By Replacing Digitalfeature Extractor With An Imprecise Neuromorphic Hardware, Majid Mohammadi Rad, Omid Sojodishijani Jan 2020

Improving The Efficiency Of Dnn Hardware Accelerator By Replacing Digitalfeature Extractor With An Imprecise Neuromorphic Hardware, Majid Mohammadi Rad, Omid Sojodishijani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Mixed-signal in-memory computation can drastically improve the efficiency of the hardware implementing machine learning (ML) algorithms by (i) removing the need to fetch neural network parameters from internal or external memory and (ii) performing a large number of multiply-accumulate operations in parallel. However, this boost in efficiency comes with some disadvantages. Among them, the inability to precisely program nonvolatile memory devices (NVM) with neural network parameters and sensitivity to noise prevent the mixed-signal hardware to perform a precise and deterministic computation. Unfortunately, these hardware-specific errors can get magnified while propagating along with the layers of the deep neural network. In …

A Priority-Based Queuing Model Approach Using Destination Parameters Forreal-Time Applications On Ipv6 Networks, Sadetti̇n Demi̇r, İbrahi̇m Özçeli̇k Jan 2020

A Priority-Based Queuing Model Approach Using Destination Parameters Forreal-Time Applications On Ipv6 Networks, Sadetti̇n Demi̇r, İbrahi̇m Özçeli̇k

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In the early days of the Internet architecture, the most important aim is to transmit data over packet switched networks. The traditional Internet architecture used in these networks lacks quality of service. However, today, as realtime applications increase, it is needed. There are approaches to improving the quality of service using the flow label field in the Internet Protocol version 6 header. In this study, a novel algorithm that uses destination network parameters to reduce queuing and end-to-end delay is created. A round-robin-based time-aware priority queue new model is used within this algorithm. Data packets using this proposed queue are …

Lung cancer is one of the deadly cancer types, and almost 85 % of lung cancers are nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the present study we investigated classification and feature selection methods for the differentiation of two subtypes of NSCLC, namely adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC). The major advances in understanding the effects of therapy agents suggest that future targeted therapies will be increasingly subtype specific. We obtained positron emission tomography (PET) images of 93 patients with NSCLC, 39 of which had ADC while the rest had SqCC. Random walk segmentation was applied to delineate three-dimensional tumor …

Adaptive Prescribed Performance Servo Control Of An Automotive Electronicthrottle System With Actuator Constraint, Zitao Sun, Xiaohong Jiao

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

To further improve the transient and steady-state performance of automotive electronic throttle position tracking, in this paper an adaptive prescribed performance servo control strategy is designed and applied to a real electronic throttle control system. In view of the possible high gain of the prescribed performance controller in practice, the actuator constraint is also considered in the controller design. The designed servo controller can ensure the transient and steady-state responses of tracking error are limited in the range prescribed by the performance function, and converge with the prescribed convergence rate and have no overshoot. The incorporated adaptive updating law can …

We use logistic regression, naive Bayes, support vector machine, and random forest on oversampled and undersampled data to build eight different models to predict FPD loans. A two-class random forest using undersampling …


An Index-Based Joint Multilingual/Cross-Lingual Text Categorization Using Topic Expansion Via Babelnet, Eniafe Festus Ayetiran Jan 2020

An Index-Based Joint Multilingual/Cross-Lingual Text Categorization Using Topic Expansion Via Babelnet, Eniafe Festus Ayetiran

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The majority of the state-of-the-art text categorization algorithms are supervised and therefore require prior training. Besides the rigor involved in developing training datasets and the requirement for repetition of training for different texts, working with multilingual texts poses additional unique challenges. One of these challenges is that the developer is required to have many different languages involved. Term expansion such as query expansion has been applied in numerous applications; however, a major drawback of most of these applications is that the actual meaning of terms is not usually taken into consideration. Considering the semantics of terms is necessary because of …


A New Biometric Identity Recognition System Based On A Combination Of Superior Features In Finger Knuckle Print Images, Hadis Heidari, Abdolah Chalechale Jan 2020

A New Biometric Identity Recognition System Based On A Combination Of Superior Features In Finger Knuckle Print Images, Hadis Heidari, Abdolah Chalechale

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Biometric methods are among the safest and most secure solutions for identity recognition and verification. One of the biometric features with sufficient uniqueness for identity recognition is the finger knuckle print (FKP). This paper presents a new method of identity recognition and verification based on FKP features, where feature extraction is combined with an entropy-based pattern histogram and a set of statistical texture features. The genetic algorithm (GA) is then used to find the superior features among those extracted. After extracting superior features, a support vector machine-based feedback scheme is used to improve the performance of the biometric system. Two …


Automatic Characterization Of Copy Number Polymorphism Using High Throughput Sequencing, Can Alkan Jan 2020

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 …


On The Automorphisms And Isomorphisms Of Mds Matrices And Their Efficient Implementations, Muharrem Tolga Sakalli, Sedat Akleylek, Kemal Akkanat, Vincent Rijmen Jan 2020

On The Automorphisms And Isomorphisms Of Mds Matrices And Their Efficient Implementations, Muharrem Tolga Sakalli, Sedat Akleylek, Kemal Akkanat, Vincent Rijmen

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we explicitly define the automorphisms of MDS matrices over the same binary extension field. By extending this idea, we present the isomorphisms between MDS matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$ and MDS matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{mt}}$, where $t \ge 1$ and $m>1$, which preserves the software implementation properties in view of XOR operations and table lookups of any given MDS matrix over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$. Then we propose a novel method to obtain distinct functions related to these automorphisms and isomorphisms to be used in generating isomorphic MDS matrices (new MDS matrices in view of implementation properties) using the existing ones. The …


A Novel S-Box-Based Postprocessing Method For True Random Number Generation, Erdi̇nç Avaroğlu, Taner Tuncer Jan 2020

A Novel S-Box-Based Postprocessing Method For True Random Number Generation, Erdi̇nç Avaroğlu, Taner Tuncer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The quality of randomness in numbers generated by true random number generators (TRNGs) depends on the source of entropy. However, in TRNGs, sources of entropy are affected by environmental changes and this creates a correlation between the generated bit sequences. Postprocessing is required to remove the problem created by this correlation in TRNGs. In this study, an S-box-based postprocessing structure is proposed as an alternative to the postprocessing structures seen in the published literature. A ring oscillator (RO)-based TRNG is used to demonstrate the use of an S-box for postprocessing and the removal of correlations between number sequences. The statistical …


Filter Design For Small Target Detection On Infrared Imagery Using Normalized-Cross-Correlation Layer, Hüseyi̇n Seçki̇n Demi̇r, Erdem Akagündüz Jan 2020

Filter Design For Small Target Detection On Infrared Imagery Using Normalized-Cross-Correlation Layer, Hüseyi̇n Seçki̇n Demi̇r, Erdem Akagündüz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

n this paper, we introduce a machine learning approach to the problem of infrared small target detection filter design. For this purpose, similar to a convolutional layer of a neural network, the normalized-cross-correlational (NCC) layer, which we utilize for designing a target detection/recognition filter bank, is proposed. By employing the NCC layer in a neural network structure, we introduce a framework, in which supervised training is used to calculate the optimal filter shape and the optimum number of filters required for a specific target detection/recognition task on infrared images. We also propose the mean-absolute-deviation NCC (MAD-NCC) layer, an efficient implementation …


On The Asymptotic Analysis Of The High-Order Statistics Of The Channel Capacity Over Generalized Fading Channels, Ferkan Yilmaz Jan 2020

On The Asymptotic Analysis Of The High-Order Statistics Of The Channel Capacity Over Generalized Fading Channels, Ferkan Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this article, we provide further asymptotic analysis to the higher-order statistics (HOS) of the channel capacity over generalized fading channels, especially by proposing simple and closed-form expressions each of which can be easily computed as a tight bound revealing the existence of constant gap between the actual and asymptotic HOS of the channel capacity in the limit of both high and low signal-to-noise ratios. As such, we show that these closed-form asymptotic expressions are insightful enough to comprehend the diversity gains. The mathematical formalism we followed in this article is illustrated with some selected numerical examples that validate the …


Reliability Comparisons Of Mobile Network Operators: An Experimental Case Study From A Crowdsourced Dataset, Engi̇n Zeydan, Ahmet Yildirim Jan 2020

Reliability Comparisons Of Mobile Network Operators: An Experimental Case Study From A Crowdsourced Dataset, Engi̇n Zeydan, Ahmet Yildirim

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

It is of great interest for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to know how well their network infrastructure performance behaves in different geographical regions of their operating country compared to their horizontal competitors. However, traditional network monitoring and measurement methods of network infrastructure use limited numbers of measurement points that are insufficient for detailed analysis and expensive to scale using an internal workforce. On the other hand, the abundance of crowdsourced content can engender various unforeseen opportunities for MNOs to cope with this scaling problem. This paper investigates end-to-end reliability and packet loss (PL) performance comparisons of MNOs using a previously …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This communication presents a miniaturised series linear wideband array of notched rectangular dielectric resonator antennas that operate in the band IEEE 802.11a. Three dielectric resonators (DRs) were excited through the aperture slots coupled with a microstrip feed. To improve the array gain, the aperture slots were placed based on the attributes related to the standing-wave ratio on a short-ended microstrip feeder to obtain optimal joint power for the DRs, while the bandwidth was improved using the notched rectangular DRs. An equivalent impedance model of the proposed array was postulated to provide physical insight into the array resonance behaviour. The impedance …


A Wide Angle Multiple Beam Lens For Convex Conformal Arrays, Rasi̇me Uyguroglu, Abdullah Y. Oztoprak Jan 2020

A Wide Angle Multiple Beam Lens For Convex Conformal Arrays, Rasi̇me Uyguroglu, Abdullah Y. Oztoprak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Multifocal lenses have been widely used as multiple beam forming networks for linear and planar arrays, but are not suitable for large convex conformal arrays as they are not physically realizable for wide angle beams. In this study, a new lens design especially suitable for convex conformal arrays is introduced. The new lens has no perfect focal points, but there are a certain number of correct phases in each of the beam directions. The directional patterns of the radiating elements are also taken into account to improve radiation patterns for desired directions. It has been shown that the new lens …

Sensor Anomaly Detection In The Industrial Internet Of Things Based On Edge Computing, Dequan Kong, Desheng Liu, Lei Zhang, Lili He, Qingwu Shi, Xiaojun Ma

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In the industrial internet of things (IIoT), because thousands of pieces of hardware, instruments, and various controllers are involved, the core problem is the sensors. Detection using sensors is the bottom line of the IIoT, directly affecting the detection accuracy and control indicators of the IIoT system. However, when a large number of real-time data generated by IIoT devices are transferred to cloud computing centers, large-scale data will inevitably bring computing load, which will affect the computing speed of cloud computing centers and increase the computing load of cloud computing data centers. These factors directly lead to instability and delay …


Controlling Waveguide Modes Using $\Mathcal{Pt}$ Transformation Media, Hayretti̇n Odabaşi Jan 2020

Controlling Waveguide Modes Using $\Mathcal{Pt}$ Transformation Media, Hayretti̇n Odabaşi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We study rectangular waveguide modes loaded with parity-time $\left(\mathcal{PT}\right)$ transformation media derived by complex transformation optics (CTO) approach. $\mathcal{PT}$ transformation media are obtained through mirror symmetric complex coordinate transformations resulting in a balanced loss/gain media. It is shown that waveguide modes can be controlled by simply changing the imaginary part of the complex coordinate transformation while not affecting any other characteristic of the waveguide. The field distribution inside the waveguide can either be stretched towards the sides or squeezed at the center of the waveguide by employing different loading configurations. \keywords{Complex transformation optics, waveguides, $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry}
