A Memory-Efficient Canonical Data Structure For Decimal Floating Point Arithmetic Systems Modeling And Verification, Mohammad Saeed Jahangiry, Saeed Safari
A Memory-Efficient Canonical Data Structure For Decimal Floating Point Arithmetic Systems Modeling And Verification, Mohammad Saeed Jahangiry, Saeed Safari
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Decimal floating point (DFP) number representation was proposed in IEEE-754-2008 in order to overcome binary floating point inaccuracy. Neglecting binary floating point verification has resulted in significant validity and economic losses. Formal verification can be a solution to similar DFP design problems. Verification techniques aiming at DFP are limited to functional methods whereas formal approaches have been neglected and traditional decision diagrams cannot model DFP representation complexity. In this paper, we propose an efficient canonical data structure that can model DFP properties. Our novel data structure models coefficient, exponent, sign, and bias of a DFP number. We will prove mathematically …

Therefore, a noise reduction technique is required to restore the image. In this paper, a new method, which is called improvement of quantized adaptive switching median filter (IQASMF), has been proposed to reduce the fixed value impulse noise from gray-scale digital images. The implementation of IQASMF has five processing blocks. The first processing block is the noise detection block, where the noise pixel candidates are detected based on the intensity value. …

Graph Analysis Of Network Flow Connectivity Behaviors, Hangyu Hu, Xuemeng Zhai, Mingda Wang, Guangmin Hu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Graph-based approaches have been widely employed to facilitate in analyzing network flow connectivity behaviors, which aim to understand the impacts and patterns of network events. However, existing approaches suffer from lack of connectivity-behavior information and loss of network event identification. In this paper, we propose network flow connectivity graphs (NFCGs) to capture network flow behavior for modeling social behaviors from network entities. Given a set of flows, edges of a NFCG are generated by connecting pairwise hosts who communicate with each other. To preserve more information about network flows, we also embed node-ranking values and edge-weight vectors into the original …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The basis of encryption techniques is random number generators (RNGs). The application areas of cryptology are increasing in number due to continuously developing technology, so the need for RNGs is increasing rapidly, too. RNGs can be divided into two categories as pseudorandom number generator (PRNGs) and true random number generator (TRNGs). TRNGs are systems that use unpredictable and uncontrollable entropy sources and generate random numbers. During the design of TRNGs, while analog signals belonging to the used entropy sources are being converted to digital data, generally comparators, flip-flops, Schmitt triggers, and ADCs are used. In this study, a computer-controlled new …

Prey-Predator Algorithm For Discrete Problems: A Case For Examination Timetabling Problem, Surafel Luleseged Tilahun
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The prey-predator algorithm is a metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the interaction between a predator and its prey. Initial solutions are put into three categories: the better performing solution as the best prey, the worst performing solution as a predator, and the rest as ordinary prey. The best prey totally focuses on exploiting its neighborhood while the predator explores the search space searching for a promising region in the search space. The ordinary prey will be affected by these two extreme search behaviors of exploration and exploitation. The algorithm has been tested and found to be effective in solving different problems …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Sleep electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is an important clinical tool for automatic sleep staging process. Sleep EEG signal is effected by artifacts and other biological signal sources, such as electrooculogram (EOG) and electromyogram (EMG), and since it is effected, its clinical utility reduces. Therefore, eliminating EOG artifacts from sleep EEG signal is a major challenge for automatic sleep staging. We have studied the effects of EOG signals on sleep EEG and tried to remove them from the EEG signals by using regression method. The EEG and EOG recordings of seven subjects were obtained from the Sleep Research Laboratory of Meram Medicine …

The rainfall amount observed at a given location mostly depend on the cloud density, which can be quantified with the reflectivity values observed by meteorology weather radars. In this study, we aim to estimate the rainfall amount using a Kalman filter with radar reflectivity measurements. We first assume that the amount of rainfall observed at automatic weather observation stations (AWOSs) are elements of an unknown state vector and consider the Kalman filter process model as the true rainfall amounts observed at these AWOSs over time. For the measurement model of the Kalman filter, we use the radar reflectivity values observed …

Dynamic Physarum Solver: A Bio-Inspired Shortest Path Method Of Dynamically Changing Graphs, Hi̇lal Arslan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In dynamic graphs, edge weights of the graph change with time and solving the shortest path problem in such graphs is an important real-world problem. The studies in the literature require excessive computational time for computing the dynamic shortest path since determining changing edge weights is difficult especially when the graph size becomes large. In this paper, we propose a dynamic bio-inspired algorithm for finding the dynamic shortest path for large graphs based on Physarum Solver, which is a shortest path algorithm for static graphs. The proposed method is evaluated using three different large graph models representing diverse real-life applications. …

Multiellipsoidal Extended Target Tracking With Known Extent Using Sequential Monte Carlo Framework, Süleyman Fati̇h Kara, Emre Özkan
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we consider a variant of the extended target tracking (ETT) problem, namely the multiellipsoidal ETT problem. In multiellipsoidal ETT, target extent is represented by multiple ellipses, which correspond to the origin of the measurements on the target surface. The problem involves estimating the target's kinematic state and solving the association problem between the measurements and the ellipses. We cast the problem in a sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) framework and investigate different marginalization strategies to find an efficient particle filter. Under the known extent assumption, we define association variables to find the correct association between the measurements and …

Combined Feature Compression Encoding In Image Retrieval, Lu Huo, Leijie Zhang
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Recently, features extracted by convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are popularly used for image retrieval. In CNN representation, high-level features are usually chosen to represent the images in coarse-grained datasets, while mid-level features are successfully applied to describe the images for fine-grained datasets. In this paper, we combine these different levels of features as a joint feature to propose a robust representation that is suitable for both coarse-grained and fine-grained image retrieval datasets. In addition, in order to solve the problem that the efficiency of image retrieval is influenced by the dimensionality of indexing, a unified subspace learning model named spectral …

Domain Adaptation On Graphs By Learning Graph Topologies: Theoretical Analysis And An Algorithm, Eli̇f Vural
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Traditional machine learning algorithms assume that the training and test data have the same distribution, while this assumption does not necessarily hold in real applications. Domain adaptation methods take into account the deviations in data distribution. In this work, we study the problem of domain adaptation on graphs. We consider a source graph and a target graph constructed with samples drawn from data manifolds. We study the problem of estimating the unknown class labels on the target graph using the label information on the source graph and the similarity between the two graphs. We particularly focus on a setting where …

Electrolyte current must be controlled in the water electrolysis systems. For this purpose, the power converter for the cell stack of the electrolyzer used in industrial hydrogen production is realized. A series resonant converter, which is suitable for high input voltage and low output current applications, is used as power stage of the electrolyzer. The high-frequency transformer is used for the impedance matching. While the system is running, the electrical resistance of the electrolyzer changes continuously; thus, fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is used to control the output current of the power converter. In this study, a 700-W converter prototype is …

Channel Estimation For Ofdm-Im Systems, Yusuf Acar, Sultan Aldirmaz Çolak, Ertuğrul Başar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (OFDM-IM) has been recently proposed to increase the spectral efficiency and improve the error performance of multicarrier communication systems. However, all the OFDM-IM systems assume that the perfect channel state information is available at the receiver. Nevertheless, channel estimation is a challenging problem in practical wireless communication systems for coherent detection at the receiver. In this paper, a novel method based on the pilot symbol-aided channel estimation technique is proposed and evaluated for OFDM-IM systems. Pilot symbols, which are placed equidistantly, allow the regeneration of the response of the channel so that pilot …

Ingan/Gan Tandem Solar Cell Parameter Estimation: A Comparative Stud, Abdelmoumene Benayad, Smail Berrah
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, two hybrid estimation approaches, hybrid genetic algorithm (TR-GA) and hybrid particle swarm optimization (TR-PSO), are used to estimate single-diode model InGaN/GaN solar cell parameters from J?V experimental data under AM0 illumination. These parameters are photocurrent density ($J_{ph}$), reverse saturation current density ($J_{s}$), ideality factor ($A$), series resistance ($R_{s}$), and shunt resistance ($R_{sh}$). The trust region (TR) method used in both approaches provides the initial conditions and helps to avoid the problem of premature convergence (due to local minimum). Simulation results based on the minimization of the mean square error between experimental and theoretical J-V characteristics show that …

A New Failure Protection Algorithm For Circuit Breakers Using The Power Loss Of Switching Arc Incidents, Behnam Feizifar, Ömer Usta
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The principal function of circuit breakers (CBs) is to isolate a portion of the power network from the rest of it in a timely manner following an opening command. Any failure in the opening operation of CBs, especially following a fault condition, will almost certainly result in a catastrophic event. Therefore, the issue of failure detection of CBs is essential and has a vital role in power system protection. This paper presents a novel power-based algorithm for failure detection of CBs. The power loss of CBs due to an arcing event increases as the arcing time gets longer. The arcing …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
As new cellular networks support not only voice services but also many multimedia applications, the requirements for reliable data transmission at high speeds create heavy load on the system. Even though LTE/LTE-A technology takes action towards alleviating this load, it is still necessary to manage resources effectively because of the inadequacy of the available radio resources. Thus, the scheduler at the MAC layer of the base station plays a very important role in resource allocation to the user. In this study a novel algorithm for resource allocation in mobile environments is presented, with two variations addressing different input traffic. The …
Queue Length Feedback-Based Solution Of Tcp Incast In Data Center Networks, Hasnain Ahmed, Junaid Arshad
Queue Length Feedback-Based Solution Of Tcp Incast In Data Center Networks, Hasnain Ahmed, Junaid Arshad
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The Internet offers a large number of applications and services that we use on a daily basis. These widely used applications are hosted on large-scale, high-performance computing systems called data centers. The performance of TCP is inefficient in many-to-one communication, which is a common traffic pattern in data center networks. This many-to-one communication causes significant packet losses followed by timeouts, which consequently results in throughput collapse in data center networks; this problem is known as TCP Incast. In this paper, we present a queue length feedback-based solution to mitigate TCP Incast. The scheme has two parts: i) a novel queue …

Axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) motors are usually controlled by drive; therefore, in the design of these machines the feeding voltage and frequency are completely independent parameters. Undoubtedly, the values of these parameters have significant effects on the performance characteristics of the machine. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of these parameters on the efficiency of a double-sided TORUS-type nonslotted (TORUS NS) AFPM motor and propose a formula for selecting the optimal values of the feeding voltage and frequency at the beginning of the design process. To fulfill this goal, different machines with various speeds, …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Discretization is the process of converting continuous values into discrete values. It is a preprocessing step of several machine learning and data mining algorithms and the quality of discretization may drastically affect the performance of these algorithms. In this study we propose a discretization algorithm, namely line fitting-based discretization (lFIT), based on the Ramer--Douglas--Peucker algorithm. It is a static, univariate, unsupervised, splitting-based, global, and incremental discretization method where intervals are determined based on the Ramer--Douglas--Peucker algorithm and the quality of partitioning is assessed based on the standard error of the estimate. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, a …
