A Novel Compact Defected Ground Structure And Its Application In Mutual Coupling Reduction Of A Microstrip Antenna, Soroush Veisee, Mahsa Keshavarz Hedayati, Shahrooz Asadi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a novel compact T-shape defected ground structure (DGS) is proposed in order to reduce the mutual coupling between elements in a microstrip antenna array structure. The proposed DGS has considerable advantages compared to an H-shaped DGS. As is known, DGS insertion is a common problem in microstrip antenna array structures. However, the proposed T-shaped structure is more compact so it could be suitable for a compact microstrip array antenna. The T-shaped DGS is about 24% more compact than the H-shaped one. However, the most important novelty of our work is reducing mutual coupling both in the E-plane …

Railroad transportation systems are an area that poses the threat of causing huge risk for both the environment and people if an error emerges during operation. For this reason, designing and developing relevant products in this area is challenging. What is more, methods to be utilized for the purposes of minimizing risk susceptibility are to be specified by international standards. While relevant standards strongly recommend that some methods be utilized based on the desired safety integrity level during the development phase, some methods are not recommended to be utilized. CENELEC 50128 strongly recommends the utilization of timed-arc Petri nets during …

Improved Control Of A Photovoltaic Pumping System By Dtc-Svm To Optimize The Water Flow, Moulay Idriss Chergui Jan 2016

Improved Control Of A Photovoltaic Pumping System By Dtc-Svm To Optimize The Water Flow, Moulay Idriss Chergui

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper deals with two different techniques of vector method-related direct torque control: the conventional (DTC-C) and the space vector modulation (DTC-SVM). Both are used for an induction motor in the photovoltaic pumping system. Based on instantaneous space vector theory, and with an optimal selection of the space voltage vectors in each sampling period, the DTC achieves effective control of the stator flux and torque. Consequently, the number of space voltage vectors and switching frequency directly influence the performance of the DTC control system, giving an advantage for a rotor position free control system.

A Simple Hybrid Method For Segmenting Vessel Structures In Retinal Fundus Images, Cemal Köse Jan 2016

A Simple Hybrid Method For Segmenting Vessel Structures In Retinal Fundus Images, Cemal Köse

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a simple, fast, and efficient hybrid segmentation method is presented for extracting vessel structures in retinal fundus images. Basically, this hybrid approach combines circular and naive Bayes classifiers to extract blood vessels in retinal fundus images. The circular method samples pixels along the enlarging circles centered at the current pixel and classifies the current pixel as vessel or nonvessel. An elimination technique is then employed to eliminate the nonvessel fragments from the processed image. The naive Bayes method as a supervised technique uses a very small set of features to segment retinal vessels in retinal images. The …

This research introduces an electromyogram (EMG) pattern classification of individual motor unit action potentials (MUPs) from intramuscular electromyographic signals. The presented technique automatically classifies EMG patterns into healthy, myopathic, or neurogenic categories. To extract a feature vector from the EMG signal, we use different autoregressive (AR) parametric methods and subspace-based methods. The proposal was validated using EMG recordings composed of 1200 EMG patterns obtained from 7 healthy, 7 myopathic, and 13 neurogenic-disordered people. A feedforward error backpropagation artificial neural network (FEBANN) and combined neural network (CNN) were used for classification, where the success rate was slightly higher in CNN. Among …

Scale Invariant And Fixed-Length Feature Extraction By Integrating Discrete Cosine Transform And Autoregressive Signal Modeling For Palmprint Identification, Burhan Ergen

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Recently, the need for automatic identification has caused researchers to focus on biometric identification methods. Palmprint-based biometric identification has several advantages such as user friendliness, low-cost capturing devices, and robustness. In this paper, a method that integrates the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and an autoregressive (AR) signal modeling is proposed for biometric identification. The method provides scale invariance and produces a fixed-length feature vector. In particular, the Burg algorithm is used for the determination of the AR parameters used as a feature vector. Experimental results demonstrate that a small number of the AR parameters that are modeling the DCT coefficients …

A New Fuzzy Membership Assignment And Model Selection Approach Based On Dynamic Class Centers For Fuzzy Svm Family Using The Firefly Algorithm, Omid Naghash Almasi, Modjtaba Rouhani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The support vector machine (SVM) is a powerful tool for classification problems. Unfortunately, the training phase of the SVM is highly sensitive to noises in the training set. Noises are inevitable in real-world applications. To overcome this problem, the SVM was extended to a fuzzy SVM by assigning an appropriate fuzzy membership to each data point. However, suitable choice of fuzzy memberships and an accurate model selection raise fundamental issues. In this paper, we propose a new method based on optimization methods to simultaneously generate appropriate fuzzy membership and solve the model selection problem for the SVM family in linear/nonlinear …

Penalty Factor-Based Optimization Algorithm For Distributed Generation Sizing In Distribution Network, Jasrul Jamani Jamian, Mohd Nabil Bin Muhtazaruddin, Muhammad Ariff Baharuddin

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The installation of distributed generation (DG) can be used to minimize the total power loss in the distribution network. Besides that, other power system performances such as voltage profile, stability index, and total harmonic distortion can also be improved via DG. Although many works on DG have been done, most researchers have assumed that the distribution line is in an ideal condition (unlimited capacity limit). On the contrary, all practical lines should have their own capacity limit. Therefore, the main contribution of this paper is to determine the optimal DG output that can fulfill the maximum allowable line capacity limit …


System Identification By Using Migrating Birds Optimization Algorithm: A Comparative Performance Analysis, Hasan Makas, Nejat Yumuşak Jan 2016

System Identification By Using Migrating Birds Optimization Algorithm: A Comparative Performance Analysis, Hasan Makas, Nejat Yumuşak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

System identification is an important process to investigate and understand the behavior of an unknown system. It aims to establish an interface between the real system and its mathematical representation. Conventional system identification methods generally need differentiable search spaces and they cannot be used for nondifferentiable multimodal search spaces. On the other hand, metaheuristic search algorithms are independent from the search space characteristics and they do not need much knowledge about the real system. The migrating birds optimization algorithm is a recently introduced nature-inspired metaheuristic neighborhood search approach. It simulates the V flight formation of migrating birds, which enables birds …

In this paper, we study certain properties of digital H-spaces. We prove that a digital image that has the same digital homotopy type with any digital H-space is also a digital H-space. We show that the digital fundamental group of a digital H-space is abelian. We give examples that are related to a digital homotopy associative H-space and a $\kappa $-contractible digital H-space. Several important applications of digital H-spaces are given in computer vision and image processing. Finally, we deal with the importance of digital H-space in digital topology and image processing. We conclude that any $\kappa $-contractible digital image …
