Hierarchical Fuzzy Controller Applied To Multi-Input Power System Stabilizer, Ebrahim Rasooli Anarmarzi, Mohammad Reza Feyzi, Mehrdad Tarafdar Hagh
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes the application of a hierarchical fuzzy system (HFS) based on multi-input power system stabilizer (MPSS) in multi-machine environment. The number of rules increases exponentially with the number of variables in a standard fuzzy system. This problem is solved in the proposed HFS method. In this method, the total number of rules increases only linearly with the number of input variables. HFS consists of a number of low-dimensional fuzzy systems in a hierarchical form. In the MPSS, the deviation of reactive power \Delta Q is added to a \Delta P+ \Delta \omega input type Power System Stabilizer (PSS) …
Washout Filter Based Control For The Hodgkin-Huxley Nerve Cell Dynamics, Reşat Özgür Doruk
Washout Filter Based Control For The Hodgkin-Huxley Nerve Cell Dynamics, Reşat Özgür Doruk
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this work we present a washout filter based control approach for stabilizing the oscillations in Hodgkin-Huxley type neurons. The oscillations occur due to the bifurcations that arise from the potassium and sodium channel conductance deviations. The MATCONT toolbox software environment was used for analysis of the bifurcation points in conjunction with MATLAB. The simulations of the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model at those points are provided to validate the results obtained from the MATCONT software. Then a washout filter is proposed to stabilize the oscillations occur at the Hopf bifurcation points where the external current injection is used to provide the …

Fault Detection And Identification For Voltage Sag State Estimation In Power Systems, Jamal Beiza, Seyed Hossein Hosseinian, Behrooz Vahidi
Fault Detection And Identification For Voltage Sag State Estimation In Power Systems, Jamal Beiza, Seyed Hossein Hosseinian, Behrooz Vahidi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents a novel approach for fault detection and identification in order to estimate voltage sag during a fault. One of the best approaches for voltage sag estimation is instantaneous voltage estimation. The approach uses traditional state estimation where redundant measurements are available. The proposed method is used to estimate voltage sag performance during a fault. At the fault duration, the grid topology is changed. In such a case the measurement matrix must be re-determined at the fault duration. The proposed approach is an efficient method for fault detection and identification which is based on residual analysis and topology …

Active Illumination And Appearance Model For Face Alignment, Muhi̇tti̇n Gökmen, Fati̇h Kahraman, Sune Darkner, Rasmus Larsen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Illumination conditions have an explicit effect on the performance of face recognition systems. In particular, varying the illumination upon the face imposes such complex effects that the identification often fails to provide a stable performance level. In this paper, we propose an approach integrating face identity and illumination models in order to reach acceptable and stable face recognition rates. For this purpose, Active Appearance Model (AAM) and illumination model of faces are combined in order to obtain an illumination invariant face localization. The proposed method is an integrated Active Illumination and Appearance Model (AIA) which combines identity, illumination and shape …

In this study, we apply State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) based optimal control technique to a nonlinear tumor growth model. The model consists of three biological cells which are normal tissue, tumor and immune cells. The effect of chemotherapy treatment is also included in the model. Chemotherapy administration is considered as a control input to the nonlinear cancer dynamics and the amount of administered drug is determined by using SDRE optimal control. The optimal control is applied to the model in order not only to drive the tumor cells to the healthy equilibrium state but also to minimize the amount …
Formation Control Of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots Using Implicit Polynomials And Elliptic Fourier Descriptors, Yeşi̇m Hümay Esi̇n, Mustafa Ünel
Formation Control Of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots Using Implicit Polynomials And Elliptic Fourier Descriptors, Yeşi̇m Hümay Esi̇n, Mustafa Ünel
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents a novel method for the formation control of a group of nonholonomic mobile robots using implicit and parametric descriptions of the desired formation shape. The formation control strategy employs implicit polynomial (IP) representations to generate potential fields for achieving the desired formation and the elliptical Fourier descriptors (EFD) to maintain the formation once achieved. Coordination of the robots is modeled by linear springs between each robot and its two nearest neighbors. Advantages of this new method are increased flexibility in the formation shape, scalability to different swarm sizes and easy implementation. The shape formation control is first …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
IIn this paper, we propose a new adaptive controller scheme for the bilateral telerobotic/teleoperation systems. The proposed controller achieves asymptotic tracking despite the parametric uncertainties associated with both master and slave robots while ensuring the passivity of the closed loop system. Extensive simulation studies are presented to illustrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed adaptive controller.

Simultaneous Rotor And Stator Resistance Estimation Of Squirrel Cage Induction Machine With A Single Extended Kalman Filter, Eşref Emre Özsoy, Meti̇n Gökaşan, Ovsanna Seta Estrada
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Accurate knowledge of rotor and stator resistance variations in a squirrel-cage induction motor (SCIM) is crucial for the performance of sensorless control of SCIM over a wide range of speeds. This study seeks to address this issue with a single Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) based solution, which is also known to have accuracy limitations when a high number of parameters/states are estimated with a limited number of inputs. To this aim, different from the author's previous approach in operating several EKFs in an alternating manner (the so-called braided EKF), an 8^{th}-order EKF is implemented in this study to test its …
Analysis And Estimation Of Motion Transmission Errors Of A Timing Belt Drive, Ergi̇n Kiliç, Meli̇k Dölen, Ahmet Buğra Koku
Analysis And Estimation Of Motion Transmission Errors Of A Timing Belt Drive, Ergi̇n Kiliç, Meli̇k Dölen, Ahmet Buğra Koku
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper focuses on viable position estimation schemes for timing belt drives where the position of the carriage (load) is to be determined via reference models receiving input from a position sensor attached to the actuator of the timing belt. A detailed analysis of the transmission error sources is presented, and a number of relevant mathematical models are developed using a priori knowledge of the process. This paper demonstrates that such schemes are very effective when the drive system is not subjected to external loads and operating conditions do not change considerably i.e. ambient temperature, belt tension.

Precise Position Control Using Shape Memory Alloy Wires, Burcu Dönmez, Bülent Özkan, Fevzi̇ Suat Kadioğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are active metallic ``smart'' materials used as actuators and sensors in high technology smart systems [1]. The term shape memory refers to ability of certain materials to ``remember'' a shape, even after rather severe deformations: once deformed at low temperatures, these materials will stay deformed until heated, whereupon they will return to their original, pre-deformed ``learned'' shape [2]. This property can be used to generate motion and/or force in electromechanical devices and micro-machines. However, the accuracy of SMA actuators is severely limited by their highly nonlinear stimulus-response characteristics. In this work, modeling, simulation, and experimental efforts …

Design And Evaluation Of A Linear Switched Reluctance Actuator For Positioning Tasks, António Espírito Santo, Rosário Calado, Carlos Cabrita
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents the development of a new linear switched reluctance actuator and confirms its applicability to perform positioning tasks. After the explanation of the actuator working principle and the presentation of its electromechanical topology, an analysis is accomplished using a finite elements tool. Based on the theoretical results, an experimental prototype that can develop 150 N was constructed. Its behaviour is observed under two different control methods implemented with microcontrollers. Initially, position is controlled applying a single pulse-driving scheme. Meanwhile, significant improvements are obtained with the introduction of a sliding-mode controller, allowing movements with 1 mm of resolution.
Detection Of Static Eccentricity For Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Using The Coherence Analysis, Mehmet Akar, Sezai̇ Taşkin, Şahi̇n Serhat Şeker, İlyas Çankaya
Detection Of Static Eccentricity For Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Using The Coherence Analysis, Mehmet Akar, Sezai̇ Taşkin, Şahi̇n Serhat Şeker, İlyas Çankaya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper reports on work to detect the static eccentricity faults for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) using spectral analysis methods. Measurements are carried out by collecting the stator current and voltage, torque and speed for healthy and faulty cases of the motor. Static eccentricity case is formed by changing the rotor position in the manner of sliding the shaft on a horizontal axis. As a result of the spectral analysis for the motor currents, side band effects appeared at around the fundamental frequency are determined as a most important indicator of the eccentricity. In addition to this determination, the …

Using Covariates For Improving The Minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance Feature Selection Method, Olcay Kurşun, Cemal Okan Şakar, Oleg Favorov, Ni̇zametti̇n Aydin, Sadik Fi̇kret Gürgen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Maximizing the joint dependency with a minimum size of variables is generally the main task of feature selection. For obtaining a minimal subset, while trying to maximize the joint dependency with the target variable, the redundancy among selected variables must be reduced to a minimum. In this paper, we propose a method based on recently popular minimum Redundancy-Maximum Relevance} (mRMR) criterion. The experimental results show that instead of feeding the features themselves into mRMR, feeding the covariates improves the feature selection capability and provides more expressive variable subsets.
Usage Of Spline Interpolation In Catheter-Based Cardiac Mapping, Bülent Yilmaz, Uğur Cunedi̇oğlu, Engi̇n Baysoy
Usage Of Spline Interpolation In Catheter-Based Cardiac Mapping, Bülent Yilmaz, Uğur Cunedi̇oğlu, Engi̇n Baysoy
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Due to their minimal invasiveness catheters are highly preferred in cardiac mapping techniques used in the source localization of rhythm disturbances in the heart. In cardiac mapping, standard steerable catheters and multielectrode basket catheters are the two alternatives for the characterization of the underlying tissue on the inner (endocardium) and outer (epicardium) surfaces of the heart. As with any discrete sampling technique, an important question for catheter-based cardiac mapping is how to determine values at locations from which direct measurements are not available. Interpolation is the most common approach for providing values at unmeasured sites using the available measurements. In …
Delta-Sigma Subarray Beamforming For Ultrasound Imaging, Hasan Şaki̇r Bi̇lge
Delta-Sigma Subarray Beamforming For Ultrasound Imaging, Hasan Şaki̇r Bi̇lge
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, an ultrasonic digital beamformer based on subarray processing of 1-bit delta-sigma (\Delta \Sigma ) oversampled echo signals is presented. The single-bit oversampling \Delta \Sigma conversion simplifies the coherent processing in beamforming with improved timing accuracy. Subarray processing also aims to simplify the beamforming complexity, where the partial-beam sums (low-resolution beams) are acquired from small subarrays, and then these partial beams are coherently processed for producing high-resolution beams. In the \Delta \Sigma subarray beamforming, the \Delta \Sigma coded echo signals are summed over the subarray channels, and then these partial beam-sums are first \Delta \Sigma demodulated, then processed …
Design Of Optimal Sampling Times For Pharmacokinetic Trials Via Spline Approximation, Musa Hakan Asyali
Design Of Optimal Sampling Times For Pharmacokinetic Trials Via Spline Approximation, Musa Hakan Asyali
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Understanding and comparison of different drug delivery formulations are based on pharmacokinetic parameters (PKP) such as area under curve, maximum concentration, and time to reach maximum concentration. Accurate estimation of PKP is of critical importance in capturing drug absorption and elimination characteristics and in reaching bioequivalence decisions. Since PKP are estimated from a limited number of samples, the timing of the samples directly influences the accuracy of estimation. Optimization of the sampling times may not only increase the accuracy of PKP estimation, but also reduce the number of samples to be drawn, which in turn lessens the inconvenience to the …
Optimal Feature Selection For 3d Facial Expression Recognition Using Coarse-To-Fine Classification, Hamit Soyel, Hasan Demirel
Optimal Feature Selection For 3d Facial Expression Recognition Using Coarse-To-Fine Classification, Hamit Soyel, Hasan Demirel
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Automatic facial expression recognition for novel individuals from 3D face data is a challenging task in pattern analysis. This paper describes a feature selection process for pose-invariant 3D facial expression recognition. The process provides a lower dimensional subspace representation, which is optimized to improve the classification accuracy, retrieved from geometrical localization of facial feature points to classify facial expressions. Fisher criterion-based approach is adopted to provide a basis for the optimal selection of features. Two-stage probabilistic neural network architecture is employed as a classifier to recognize the facial expressions. In the first stage, which can be regarded as the coarse …
Fast Computation Of Determination Of The Prime Implicants By A Novel Near Minimum Minimization Method, Fati̇h Başçi̇ftçi̇, Şi̇rzat Kahramanli
Fast Computation Of Determination Of The Prime Implicants By A Novel Near Minimum Minimization Method, Fati̇h Başçi̇ftçi̇, Şi̇rzat Kahramanli
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study proposed is an off-set-based direct-cover near-minimum minimization method for single-output Boolean functions represented in a sum-of-products form. To obtain the complete set of prime implicants including given on-cube (on-minterm), the proposed method uses off-cubes (off-minterms) expanded by this On-cube. The amount of temporary results produced by this method does not exceed the size of the off-set. To make fast computation, we used logic operations instead of standard operations. Expansion off-cubes, commutative absorption operations and intersection operations are realized by logic operations for fast computation. The proposed minimization method is tested on several different kinds of problems and …

A Second Order Approximation To Reduce The Complexity Of Ldpc Decoders Based On Gallager's Approach, Aykut Kalaycioğlu, Oktay Üreten, H. Gökhan İlk
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
A piece-wise second order approximation to the f (x) = -log [tanh (x/2)] function is proposed to reduce the computational complexity of LDPC decoder's utilizing Log-Likelihood Ratio Belief Propagation (LLR-BP) algorithm based on Gallager's approach. Simulation results show that the proposed low complexity approximation doesn't cause BER performance degradation.
Performance Analysis Of Swarm Optimization Approaches For The Generalized Assignment Problem In Multi-Target Tracking Applications, Ali̇ Önder Bozdoğan, Asim Egemen Yilmaz, Murat Efe
Performance Analysis Of Swarm Optimization Approaches For The Generalized Assignment Problem In Multi-Target Tracking Applications, Ali̇ Önder Bozdoğan, Asim Egemen Yilmaz, Murat Efe
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The aim of this study is to investigate the suitability of selected swarm optimization algorithms to the generalized assignment problem as encountered in multi-target tracking applications. For this purpose, we have tested variants of particle swarm optimization and ant colony optimization algorithms to solve the 2D generalized assignment problem with simulated dense and sparse measurement/track matrices and compared their performance to that of the auction algorithm. We observed that, although with some modification swarm optimization algorithms provide improvement in terms of speed, they still fall behind the auction algorithm in finding the optimum solution to the problem. Among the investigated …

Stpso: Strengthened Particle Swarm Optimization, Ai̇şe Zülal Şevkli̇, Fati̇h Erdoğan Sevi̇lgen
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we present a novel approach to strengthen Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). PSO is a population-based metaheuristic that takes advantage of individual memory and social cooperation in a swarm. It has been applied to a variety of optimization problems because of its simplicity and fast convergence. However, straightforward application of PSO suffers from premature convergence and lack of intensification around the local best locations. To rectify these problems, we modify update procedure for the best particle in the swarm and propose a simple and random moving strategy. We perform a Reduced Variable Neighborhood Search (RVNS) based local search …

Biosequence similarity search is an important application in computational biology. Mercury BLASTN, an FPGA-based implementation of BLAST for DNA, is one of the alternatives for fast DNA sequence comparison. The re-design of BLAST into a streaming application combined with a high-throughput hardware pipeline have enabled Mercury BLAST to emerge as one of the fastest implementations of bio-sequence similarity search. This performance can be further enhanced by exploiting the data-level parallelism present within the application. Here we present a multiple FPGA-based Mercury BLASTN design in order to double the speed and throughput of DNA sequence computation. This paper describes a dual …

All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Classical scheduling abstractions such as deadlines and priorities do not readily capture the complex timing semantics found in many real-time cyber-physical systems. Time utility functions provide a necessarily richer description of timing semantics, but designing utility-aware scheduling policies using them is an open research problem. In particular, optimal utility accrual scheduling design is needed for real-time cyber-physical domains. In this paper we design optimal utility accrual scheduling policies for cyber-physical systems with periodic, non-preemptable tasks that run with stochastic duration. These policies are derived by solving a Markov Decision Process formulation of the scheduling problem. We use this formulation to …
Global Constructive Optimization Of Vascular Systems, Manfred Georg, Tobias Preusser, Horst K. Hahn
Global Constructive Optimization Of Vascular Systems, Manfred Georg, Tobias Preusser, Horst K. Hahn
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
We present a framework for the construction of vascular systems based on optimality principles of theoretical physiology. Given the position and flow distribution of end points of a vascular system, we construct the topology and positions of internal nodes to complete the vascular system in a realistic manner. Optimization is driven by intravascular volume minimization with constraints derived from physiological principles. Direct optimization of a vascular system, including topological changes, is used instead of simulating vessel growth. A good initial topology is found by extracting key information from a previously optimized model with less detail. This technique is used iteratively …

Arch: Practical Channel Hopping For Reliable Home-Area Sensor Networks, Mo Sha, Gregory Hackmann, Chenyang Lu
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Home area networks (HANs) promise to enable sophisticated home automation applications such as smart energy usage and assisted living. However, recent empirical study of HAN reliability in real-world residential environments revealed significant challenges to achieving reliable performance in the face of significant and variable interference from a multitude of coexisting wireless devices. We propose the Adaptive and Robust Channel Hopping (ARCH) protocol: a lightweight receiveroriented protocol which handles the dynamics of residential environments by reactively channel hopping when channel conditions have degraded. ARCH has several key features. First, ARCH is an adaptive protocol that channel-hops based on changes in channel …

Sorting As A Streaming Application Executing On Chip Multiprocessors, Roger D. Chamberlain, Greg A. Galloway, Mark A. Franklin
All Computer Science and Engineering Research
Expressing concurrency in applications has always been a difficult and error-prone endeavor, yet effective utilization of multi-core processors requires that the concurrency in applications be understood. One approach to the expression of concurrency is streaming, which has shown real promise as a safe and effective method for many application classes. Here, we express a classic problem, sorting, in the streaming paradigm and explore the implications of various algorithm and architectural design parameters on the performance of the application.
