Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Partial discharge (PD) is an abnormal activity that occurs in high-voltage components, such as power cables, switchgear, machines, and power transformers. Such activity needs to be diagnosed for the equipment to last longer as PD could harm the insulation and potentially lead to asset destruction from time to time. Moving one or more externally mounted acoustic sensors to different locations on the transformer tank is commonly used in order to detect and locate PD signal occurring in the power transformer. However, this procedure may lead to less accuracy in PD identification. Therefore, this research paper presents an analysis of acoustic …

To generate the DTMD descriptor, the actor?s silhouettes are gathered into single motion templates by applying motion history images. These motion templates capture the spatiotemporal movements of the actor and compactly represent the human actions using a single 2D template. Then deep convolutional neural networks are used to compute discriminative deep …

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' …

This direct approach is novel in the sense that most of the fabricationoriented surface tiling methods introduce additional primitives, such as curve networks in an interactive semiautomatic framework. Our method is based on a remeshing procedure that converts a given quad mesh with arbitrary topology into our desired structure that is ready to be fabricated. The main advantages of establishing auxetic patterns on meshes are the achieved flexibility using cheap inflexible materials as well as less material usage …

A Novel Genome Analysis Method With The Entropy-Based Numerical Techniqueusing Pretrained Convolutional Neural Networks, Bi̇hter Daş, Suat Toraman, İbrahi̇m Türkoğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The identification of DNA sequences as exon and intron is a common problem in genome analysis. The methods used for feature extraction and mapping techniques for the digitization of sequences affect directly the solution of this problem. The existing mapping techniques are not enough to detect coding and noncoding regions in some genomes because the digital representation of each base in a DNA sequence with an integer does not fully reflect the structure of an original DNA sequence. In the entropy-based mapping technique, we could overcome this problem because the technique deepens distinction rates of exon regions, and better reflects …


Finite-Time Dynamic Surface Approach To Nonlinear Systems With Mismatcheduncertainties, Guofa Sun, Yaming Xu Jan 2020

Finite-Time Dynamic Surface Approach To Nonlinear Systems With Mismatcheduncertainties, Guofa Sun, Yaming Xu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper develops a finite-time dynamic surface control (DSC) scheme for nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties via a high-order sliding mode(HOSM) observer. By designing a second-order terminal sliding surface based on the estimated signals, an observer-based sliding mode control (SMC) is designed to counteract the mismatched uncertainties in each step of backstepping. The proposed DSC scheme exhibits the following two attractive features. One is the application of HOSM observer to deal with mismatched system uncertainty functions. This is very different from the traditional approximator-based adaptive methods in dealing with high-order uncertain nonlinear systems. The other is the finite-time convergence of …

Reducing Computational Complexity In Fingerprint Matching, Mubeen Sabir, Tariq Mahmood Khan, Munazza Arshad, Sana Munawar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The performance of cross-correlation functions can decrease computational complexity under optimal fingerprint feature selection. In this paper, a technique is proposed to perform alignment of fingerprints followed by their matching in fewer computations. Minutiae points are extracted and alignment is performed on the basis of their spatial locations and orientation fields. Unlike traditional cross-correlation based matching algorithms, ridges are not included in the matching process to avoid redundant computations. However, optimal cross-correlation is chosen by correlating feature vectors accompanying x-y locations of minutiae points and their aligned orientation fields. As a result, matching time is significantly reduced with much improved …
