Automated Testing For Distributed Databases With Fuzzy Fragment Reallocation, Akhan Akbulut, Gözde Karataş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

As the Internet and big data become more widespread, relational database management systems (RDBMSs) become increasingly inadequate for web applications. To provide what RDBMSs cannot, during the past 15 years distributed database systems (DDBSs) have thus emerged. However, given the complicated structure of these systems, the methods used to validate the efficiency of databases, all towards ensuring quality and security, have become diversified. In response, this paper demonstrates a system for performing automated testing with DDBSs, given that testing is significant in software verification and that accredited systems are more productive in business environments. The proposed system applies several tests …


Choice Of Battery Energy Storage For A Hybrid Renewable Energy System, Kusum Lata Tharani, Ratna Dahiya Jan 2018

Choice Of Battery Energy Storage For A Hybrid Renewable Energy System, Kusum Lata Tharani, Ratna Dahiya

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

There are certain unelectrified villages across the Indian subcontinent where providing supply through the grid is difficult due to forest cover or mountainous terrain. The most feasible option is to provide off-grid electrification through renewable energy resources such as solar or wind energy. These intermittent sources do not promise a 24 $\times $ 7 supply system. Thus, along with solar or wind energy systems, it becomes important to use a renewable resource, such as biomass, which is available in abundance in rural areas. The need for battery energy storage becomes mandatory in order to store the surplus energy produced by …


Design And Implementation Of A New Speed Planner For Semiautonomous Systems, Mustafa Demi̇r, Volkan Sezer Jan 2018

Design And Implementation Of A New Speed Planner For Semiautonomous Systems, Mustafa Demi̇r, Volkan Sezer

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a new speed planning method is developed for semiautonomous systems by improving our previous fuzzy logic-based approach. In this proposed method, an extended risk factor is calculated on top of the classical risk factor, using environmental factors and the user's speed reference. We obtain safer speed values in critical scenarios with this new extended risk factor definition. Another improvement comes from the design of the semiautonomous architecture. Instead of the fully autonomous solution of the previous work, we calculate the final speed reference by combining the risk factor-based speed value and user's speed reference, which provides a …

The proposed QRMW model represents multichannel and $2^{n}\times 2^{m}$ images. Moreover, we present image comparison and some image operations based on the QRMW model. Comparing our model with the models in the literature, the QRMW model has less time complexity. It also uses fewer qubits than existing models in the literature.


Nonintrusive Identification Of Residential Appliances Using Harmonic Analysis, Srdjan Djordjevic, Milan Simic Jan 2018

Nonintrusive Identification Of Residential Appliances Using Harmonic Analysis, Srdjan Djordjevic, Milan Simic

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The role of nonintrusive load monitoring (NILM) is to identify the operating schedules of individual appliances and their power consumption from single-point electrical measurements. This paper discusses appliance load monitoring based on the harmonic analysis of the steady-state current, which is specifically suited for identification of nonlinear appliances. The existing harmonic-based NILM methods have limited applicability due to the fact that their complexity increases exponentially with the number of target appliances. In order to overcome this problem, this study suggests the use of the step changes of current harmonic phasors as a feature for appliance detection. The key benefit of …

Upper Envelope Detection Of Ecg Signals For Baseline Wander Correction: A Pilot Study, Mohammed Assam Ouali, Mouna Ghanai, Kheireddine Chafaa

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Baseline wander (BW) is a common low frequency artifact in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The prime cause from which BW arises is the patient's breathing and movement. To facilitate reliable visual interpretation of the ECG and to discern particular patterns in the ECG signal, BW needs to be removed. In this paper, a novel BW removal method is presented. The hypothesis is based on the observation that ECG signal variation covaries with its BW. As such, the P, Q, R, S, and T peaks will follow the baseline drift. On this basis, the following proposition is true: a reliable approximation of …

Relation Extraction Via One-Shot Dependency Parsing On Intersentential, Higher-Order, And Nested Relations, Gözde Gül Şahi̇n, Erdem Emekli̇gi̇l, Seçi̇l Arslan, Onur Ağin, Gülşen Eryi̇ği̇t

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Despite the emergence of digitalization, people still interact with institutions via traditional means such as submitting free formatted petitions, orders, or applications. These noisy documents generally consist of complex relations that are nested, higher-order, and intersentential. Most of the current approaches address extraction of only sentence-level and binary relations from grammatically correct text and generally require high-level linguistic features coming from preprocessors such as a parts-of-speech tagger, chunker, or syntactic parser. In this article, we focus on extracting complex relations in order to automate the task of understanding user intentions. We propose a novel language-agnostic and noise-immune approach that does …

Design of wideband infinite impulse response (IIR) digital fractional order integrators (DFOIs) based on a bio-inspired metaheuristic optimization approach called the cat swarm optimization (CSO) algorithm is presented in this paper. To investigate the efficiency of the proposed approach, the CSO-based DFOIs are evaluated against those of the approximations designed using real-coded genetic algorithm (RGA), standard particle swarm optimization (PSO), and differential evolution (DE) by different magnitude and phase response error metrics. Simulation results reveal the better frequency response of the CSO-based DFOIs in comparison with the competing designs. Both parametric and nonparametric statistical hypothesis tests validate the performance consistency …

However, to meet the demands for high accuracy of today's practical recognition applications that typically have massive datasets, the sizes of CNNs have to be larger and deeper. Enlargement of the CNN aggravates the problem of off-chip memory bottleneck in the FPGA platform since there …


Concurrency Control Algorithms For Deduplicated Cloud Storage, Prabavathy Balasundaram, Chitra Babu Jan 2018

Concurrency Control Algorithms For Deduplicated Cloud Storage, Prabavathy Balasundaram, Chitra Babu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Deduplication of data is essential to effectively use cloud storage. As the metadata in deduplicated cloud storage are shared across multiple users, concurrent updates may result in inconsistencies. A coarse-grained locking strategy that has been proposed earlier to overcome this difficulty is not suited for inline deduplication owing to poor performance. In the present work, a fine-grained locking strategy that overcomes this shortcoming is proposed. A metadata structure along with a set of concurrent control mechanisms to accomplish this is presented. This strategy is shown to improve the throughput by as much as 60% with only marginal lock overhead.

Transient- And Probabilistic Neural Network-Based Fault Classification In Ehv Three-Terminal Lines, Ravi Kumar Varma Bhupatiraju, Venkata Sesha Samba Siva Sarma Dhanikonda, Venkata Ramana Rao Pulipaka

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a fast and accurate fault classifier for three-terminal transmission circuits. Traditional phasor-based methods fail to meet the high speed requirements of modern power grids and necessitate alternative solutions. The transient-based schemes use advanced signal processing techniques to achieve fast and accurate fault classification. As the three-terminal lines experience very pronounced transients during faults, the proposed method makes use of the fault-generated transients to quickly and correctly classify the fault. Many transient-based schemes fail to give the required accuracy since the transient patterns with relay-measured signals are highly influenced by fault conditions. Therefore, a thorough analysis of transient …


An Adaptive Fault Diagnosis Approach Using Pipeline Implementation For Railway Inspection, Yunus Santur, Mehmet Karaköse, Erhan Akin Jan 2018

This effect significantly reduces the high accuracy rate expected from anomaly inspection algorithms. The second disadvantage is the need to operate in real time. This study presents a new three-stage computer vision method approach that eliminates both disadvantages. First, a three-stage pipeline architecture is implemented and IMU-assisted blur detection is performed on images taken from the …
