Segmentation of medical images has been one of the most important research areas because of its impact in modeling and diagnosing the structure and the functions of various organs. The lack of unique solution for the segmentation problem of medical images is caused by the wide range of selections among different medical imaging modalities and clustering methods where each setting has its own estimates for solving this problem. The unistable method is a novel method that generates enhanced images with high contrast, which can reduce boundary overlap between different tissues. This is accomplished by fusion of different clustering maps, which …

Deterministic power flow does not provide sufficient information for power system calculation and analysis, since all sources of uncertainty are not taken into account. To handle uncertainties PPF has been introduced and used as an efficient tool. In this paper, we present a cumulant-based PPF approach that can account for various sources of uncertainty in power systems with renewable resources such as wind and photovoltaic energy. We also propose the use of a new methodology to estimate probability distribution for wind power output based on measured data. The proposed approach is carried …

Routing under multiple independent constrains in point-to-point networks has been studied for over 10 years. Its NP-hardness keeps pushing researchers to study approximate algorithms and heuristics, and many results have been published in these years. To the best of our knowledge, the nature of its average case has been explored only for the self-adaptive multiple constraints routing algorithm (SAMCRA), which is an algorithm about multiple constraints routing. In this paper, we simplify SAMCRA into a format that is convenient for our average case analysis. This variant algorithm gives optimal solutions also for very large dimensional networks such as with more …

Dvcc-Based Floating Capacitance Multiplier Design, Hali̇l Alpaslan Jan 2017

Dvcc-Based Floating Capacitance Multiplier Design, Hali̇l Alpaslan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a floating capacitance multiplier including two multioutput differential voltage current conveyors, two grounded resistors, and a grounded capacitor is proposed. The proposed floating capacitance multiplier can realize high capacitor values with two small-valued resistors. It is more suitable for integrated circuit technology because it has only grounded passive components without needing any critical passive component matching conditions. Its performances are examined with several simulations using the SPICE program. As an application example, a third-order notch filter using three resistors and three capacitors is given.

Vector Control Of Unbalanced 3-Phase Im Using Forward And Backward Components, Mohammad Jannati, Nik Rumzi Nik Idris Jan 2017

Vector Control Of Unbalanced 3-Phase Im Using Forward And Backward Components, Mohammad Jannati, Nik Rumzi Nik Idris

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In some industries, continuous operation of 3-phase induction motors (IMs) even under faults until the scheduled maintenance time is essential. Conventional control techniques such as field-oriented control (FOC) cannot be used to control faulty IMs since this will result in significant oscillations in the speed and torque. Consequently, a new control approach must be developed for improving IM performance during fault conditions. This paper presents a method for vector control of 3-phase IMs under open-phase faults. The main advantage of this control scheme is its ability to handle not only one phase but also two phases of open-phase fault conditions. …

Energy-Hole Avoidance And Lifetime Enhancement Of A Wsn Through Load Factor, Krishna Pal Sharma, Teek Parval Sharma Jan 2017

Energy-Hole Avoidance And Lifetime Enhancement Of A Wsn Through Load Factor, Krishna Pal Sharma, Teek Parval Sharma

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In wireless sensor networks, nonuniform communication load across a network often leads to the problem of energy holes or hot spots, i.e. nodes nearer high activity regions deplete their energy much faster than nodes elsewhere. This may partition the network into unreachable segments and thus adversely affect network lifetime. The problem is more acute in random and sparsely deployed networks. Therefore, we propose a deployment strategy that, using the least possible nodes, prolongs network lifetime by avoiding energy holes and also ensures full sensing and communication coverage. The scheme handles the energy imbalance by selecting an appropriate set of communication …
