The application of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) casts light on this problem. However, given the great improvement in CDSS over the past several years, challenges to their wide-scale application are still present, including: 1) decision making of CDSS is complicated by the complexity of the data regarding human physiology and pathology, which could render the whole process more time-consuming by loading big data related to patients; and 2) information incompatibility among different health information systems (HIS) …


Qos Recommendation In Cloud Services, Xianrong Zheng, Li Da Xu, Sheng Chai Jan 2017

Qos Recommendation In Cloud Services, Xianrong Zheng, Li Da Xu, Sheng Chai

Information Technology & Decision Sciences Faculty Publications

As cloud computing becomes increasingly popular, cloud providers compete to offer the same or similar services over the Internet. Quality of service (QoS), which describes how well a service is performed, is an important differentiator among functionally equivalent services. It can help a firm to satisfy and win its customers. As a result, how to assist cloud providers to promote their services and cloud consumers to identify services that meet their QoS requirements becomes an important problem. In this paper, we argue for QoS-based cloud service recommendation, and propose a collaborative filtering approach using the Spearman coefficient to recommend cloud …

Several power system applications rely on the solution of a very large linear system. As the demands on power systems continue to grow, there is a greater computational complexity involved in solving these large linear systems within …


An Efficient Global Technique For Solving The Network Constrained Static And Dynamic Economic Dispatch Problem, Aamir Nawaz, Nasir Saleem, Ehtasham Mustafa, Umair Ali Khan Jan 2017

An Efficient Global Technique For Solving The Network Constrained Static And Dynamic Economic Dispatch Problem, Aamir Nawaz, Nasir Saleem, Ehtasham Mustafa, Umair Ali Khan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper presents a new approach for solving the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem with generator constraints and transmission losses. The constrained globalized Nelder-Mead algorithm is a newly proposed algorithm for solving economic dispatch problems with and without valve-point effects. Convex and nonconvex cost functions with equality and inequality constraints are difficult to optimize. To circumvent these problems, a robust global technique is desirable. In this paper, the constrained globalized Nelder--Mead algorithm is proposed to optimize the ELD problem globally using variance variable probability. To validate the proficiency of the proposed approach, statistical studies have been accomplished for different test …


Comparing Of Phase Shifting Method And One-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform Method For Reconstruction Using Phase-Only Information, Gülhan Ustabaş Kaya, Zehra Saraç Jan 2017

Comparing Of Phase Shifting Method And One-Dimensional Continuous Wavelet Transform Method For Reconstruction Using Phase-Only Information, Gülhan Ustabaş Kaya, Zehra Saraç

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method has some advantages in hologram reconstruction, when used in the only phase, compared with the phase shifting method. This paper aims to discuss these advantages. One advantage is related to image quality. Another advantage is less power spent and saving time, because the one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method uses only one hologram and the phase shifting method uses four holograms for recording and reconstruction processes. One final advantage is that the one-dimensional continuous wavelet transform method can also be used in real-time applications. Within the context of the ongoing optimization studies, this study will …


A Marching Algorithm For Isosurface Extraction From Face-Centered Cubic Lattices, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu Jan 2017

A Marching Algorithm For Isosurface Extraction From Face-Centered Cubic Lattices, Yusuf Sahi̇lli̇oğlu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This work provides a novel method that extracts isosurfaces from face-centered cubic (FCC) lattices. It has been theoretically shown that sampling volumetric data on an FCC lattice tiled with rhombic dodecahedra is more efficient than sampling them on a Cartesian lattice tiled with cubes, in that the FCC lattice can represent the same data set as a Cartesian lattice with the same accuracy, yet with approximately 23% fewer samples. This fact, coupled with the good properties of rhombic dodecahedra, encouraged us to develop this related isosurface extraction technique. Thanks to the sparser sampling required by the FCC lattices, the de …


Robust Seed Detection For Coronary Arteries Segmentation Using Thresholded Frangi Response, Sammer Zai, Muhammad Ahsan Ansari, Soon-Young Song, Young Shik Moon Jan 2017

Robust Seed Detection For Coronary Arteries Segmentation Using Thresholded Frangi Response, Sammer Zai, Muhammad Ahsan Ansari, Soon-Young Song, Young Shik Moon

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Automatic detection of initial seed points has become an essential step towards delineating coronary arteries in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images due to image inhomogeneity and other factors. Most coronary segmentation algorithms require user interaction for seed point selection, which may lead to erroneous segmentation. In this study, we present an improved technique of seed detection for coronary segmentation using a thresholded Frangi response. Before computing region of interest (ROI), the proposed method first computes the Frangi response of the complete CCTA volume, followed by thresholding with respect to quantile and median values, and then the ROI selection procedure …


A Novel Hybrid Approach Based On A Chaotic Cloud Gravitational Search Algorithm To Complicated Image Template Matching, Weijia Cui, Yuzhu He Jan 2017

Template matching is the process of accurately extracting the interesting regions in a source image according to reference templates. In this paper, the gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is employed as a novel search strategy for template matching. However, the basic GSA is easily trapped in a local optimum and has a poor exploitation ability. In this paper, to enhance the optimization performance of GSA, a novel cross-search strategy based on chaotic global search (CGS) and cloud local search (CLS) is incorporated into GSA. The new variant is named chaotic cloud GSA (CCGSA). CGS makes full use of the ergodicity of …


A Novel Approach To Solve Transient Stability Constrained Optimal Power Flow Problems, Huy Nguyen-Duc, Linh Tran-Hoai, Dieu Vo Ngoc Jan 2017

A Novel Approach To Solve Transient Stability Constrained Optimal Power Flow Problems, Huy Nguyen-Duc, Linh Tran-Hoai, Dieu Vo Ngoc

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes an approach to solve the transient stability constraint optimal power flow (TSC-OPF) problem. The transient stability constraints are expressed as the critical clearing time (CCT) of different contingencies, and are approximated using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The ANNs provide a nonlinear, differentiable mapping between the load flow variables and the CCT. As a result, the TSC-OPF with multiple transient stability constraints can be solved very efficiently with little additional computational burden. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated with the IEEE 39 bus and the IEEE 300 bus systems.

Low-Power Voltage To A Frequency-Based Smart Temperature Sensor With +0.8/-0.75 $^{\Circ}$C Accuracy For -55 $^{\Circ}$C To 125 $^{\Circ}$C, Mudasir Bashir, Sreehari Rao Patri, Krishna Prasad

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The high power densities in system-on-chips demand accurate, low power, and compact smart temperatures for thermal monitoring. In this paper, a low-power CMOS-based smart temperature sensor, operating in the subthreshold region, for military applications (-55 $^{\circ}$C to 125 $^{\circ}$C) is presented. The sensor exploits the thermal dependency of the threshold voltage of MOS transistors to generate a voltage proportional to absolute temperature ($V_{PTAT})$. A frequency locked loop technique is employed to generate frequency from $V_{PTAT}$. The frequency variation due to temperature is measured by counting the rising edge with an asynchronous 12-bit counter. The large die area and requirement of …

Audio classification is one of the key components of car apps as a front-end technology to enable human-app interactions. Existing approaches for audio classification, however, fall short as the unique and time-varying audio characteristics of car environments are not appropriately taken into account. Leveraging recent advances in mobile sensing technology that allows for an active and accurate driving environment detection, in this thesis, we develop an audio classification framework for mobile apps that categorizes …


Classification Of Radar Jammer Fm Signals Using A Neural Network Approach, Ariadna Estefania Mendoza Jan 2017

Classification Of Radar Jammer Fm Signals Using A Neural Network Approach, Ariadna Estefania Mendoza

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

A Neural Network (NN) used to classify radar signals is proposed for the purpose of military survivability and lethality analysis. The goal of the NN is to correctly differentiate Frequency-Modulated (FM) signals from Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) using limited signal pre-processing. The FM signals used to test the NN approach are the linear or chirp FM and the power-law FM. Preliminary simulations using the moments of the signals in the time and frequency domain yielded better results in the frequency domain, suggesting that time domain training would not be as effective frequency domain training. To test this hypoThesis, we …

The Impact Of Sampling Frequency And Amplitude Modulation Index On Low Order Harmonics In A 3-Phase Sv-Pvm Voltage Source Inverter, Qamil Kabashi, Myzafere Limani, Nebi Caka, Milaim Zabeli

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Nowadays, variable speed AC motors are widely used in industry and there are many speed adjustment techniques available. In the last decade there has been a trend towards the use of space vector PWM--IGBT inverters, due to easier digital realization and better utilization of the DC bus. Every power inverter produces a total harmonic distortion (THD) on its output that causes extra losses in stator of induction motors. By eliminating a number of low order voltage/current harmonics it is possible to reduce harmonic losses (stator losses) and mechanical oscillations in general. This could be achieved by implementing filters in the …


Neville Interpolation-Based Normal Estimation, Buse Meli̇s Özyildirim, Ulus Çevi̇k Jan 2017

Neville Interpolation-Based Normal Estimation, Buse Meli̇s Özyildirim, Ulus Çevi̇k

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Displaying useful and meaningful information from 3D data is known as volume rendering. Ray casting is one of the most frequently used direct volume rendering methods. It consists of data preparation, sampling, classification, compositing, and shading steps. Normal values are needed for efficient shading. However, 3D volumetric data are discrete and cannot be used directly for shading. Hence, the estimation of normal values, at each voxel on the surface, is needed for realistic shading. In normal estimation, the use of small voxel neighborhoods results in the staircase effect. On the other hand, the use of larger voxel neighborhoods causes loss …

Full Occlusion Handling For Pedestrian Tracking Via Hybrid System, Xiaoyu Zhang, Shiqiang Hu, Huanlong Zhang, Xing Hu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Occlusion and lack of visibility even in sparse crowd scenes make it difficult to track individual pedestrians correctly and consistently, particularly in a single view. We present a novel pedestrian tracking approach that connects tracking with reidentification to locate and maintain the identity of certain people who may be occluded for a long time. First, two models are constructed. One model tracks the pedestrian and trains a classifier, while the other model reidentifies the pedestrian of interest from detection results with the trained classifier. Secondly, we design a set of transition rules for model switching. Finally, the two models work …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper a new robust direct torque control strategy based on second order continuous sliding mode and space vector modulation of a doubly fed induction generator integrated in a wind energy conversion system is presented. The conventional direct torque control (C-DTC) with hysteresis regulators has significant flux and torque ripples at steady-state operation and also the switching frequency varies in a wide range. The proposed DTC technique based on second order continuous sliding mode control reduces flux, current, and torque ripples. It also narrows down the switching frequency variations in induction machine control. Two different sliding surfaces such as …


A Methodology To Include Real-Life Failure Data In The Failure Rate Estimation Of Power Distribution Systems, Mojtaba Gilvanejad, Hossein Askarian Abyaneh, Kazem Mazlumi Jan 2017

A Methodology To Include Real-Life Failure Data In The Failure Rate Estimation Of Power Distribution Systems, Mojtaba Gilvanejad, Hossein Askarian Abyaneh, Kazem Mazlumi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Random failure rates are usually assumed as constant values in reliability calculations. In this paper, this topic is investigated using stochastic models of uncertain phenomena like lightning, cold load pickup, and overloading, which result in random failures. An algorithm is developed to estimate the random failure rates in distribution networks during their lifetime. This algorithm stochastically generates the random failures as well as sustained failures as a result of equipment wear-out state due to the aging process and finally estimates the total number of temporary/sustained failures in a period of the network lifetime. The results of applying this algorithm to …

Optimal Design Of Voltage Regulators For Static Excitation System In Synchronous Generator To Reduce Shaft-Induced Voltage, Mahmoud Samieimoghaddam, Mohammad Tavakoli Bina, Masoud Aliakbar Golkar, Shokrollah Shokrikojoori

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Long-term shaft-induced voltage could harm synchronous generators, specifically their bearings and insulators. This paper investigates the reduction of shaft-induced voltage using both a passive filter and an active voltage regulator. An RLC circuit is used as a passive filter, and a DC-DC buck converter is used as an active voltage regulator. As a result, they remove high-frequency spikes, leading to the reduction of shaft-induced voltage. Buck converters show minimum-phase behavior and can pose as stable-casual converters. A 5 kW synchronous generator was considered for the laboratory setup in which a static excitation system using a 6-pulse thyristor rectifier supplies the …


Intrusion Detection In Network Flows Based On An Optimized Clustering Criterion, Jaber Karimpour, Shahriar Lotfi, Aliakbar Tajari Siahmarzkooh Jan 2017

Intrusion Detection In Network Flows Based On An Optimized Clustering Criterion, Jaber Karimpour, Shahriar Lotfi, Aliakbar Tajari Siahmarzkooh

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Graph-based intrusion detection approaches consider the network as a graph and detect anomalies based on graph metrics. However, most of these approaches succumb to the cluster-based behavior of the anomalies. To resolve this problem in our study, we use flow and graph-clustering concepts to create a data set first. A new criterion related to the average weight of clusters is then defined and a model is proposed to detect attacks based on the above-mentioned criterion. Finally, the model is evaluated using a DARPA data set. Results show that the proposed approach detects the attacks with high accuracy relative to methods …
