Performance Of Prefiltered Model-Based Frequency Estimators, Mustafa A. Altınkaya, Bülent Sankur, Emin Anarım Jan 1998

Performance Of Prefiltered Model-Based Frequency Estimators, Mustafa A. Altınkaya, Bülent Sankur, Emin Anarım

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this work, the performance improvement due to prefiltering of inputs in model-based frequency estimators is investigated based on simulation experiments. Initial estimates on the tone frequency locations, which are obtained via DFT peak picking type preanalysis, are used to design a prefilter to remove noise and interference. The simulations indicate that prefiltering can improve the accuracy of Pisarenko and AR frequency estimators and MUSIC and KT frequency estimators with low subspace order significantly. The SNR thresholds of model-based frequency estimators are lowered by prefiltering. Additionally, interesting trade-offs between prefiltering gain and the gain due to subspace noise filtering have …


Object-Oriented Computer Simulations Of Physical Systems Using Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Methodology, J. Friedrich Jan 1998

Object-Oriented Computer Simulations Of Physical Systems Using Dual Reciprocity Boundary Element Methodology, J. Friedrich

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Models of physical systems are essential in every engineering field. This work deals with computer simulations of physical systems that can be mathematically modelled by differential equations together with sufficient boundary conditions. The computer simulations are based on object-oriented technology and the dual reciprocity boundary element method which is a universal solution scheme for various types of partial differential equations (e.g. Laplace, Poisson, diffusion, convection-diffusion, and steady Navier-Stokes equation). This technique fulfills efficiency criteria like precision, robustness, versatility, programmability, user-friendliness, need of computational time and computer memory to a very high degree. This is demonstrated by three examples: Laplace's solution …


Analysis Of Nonlinear Sustained Oscillations In Discrete Systems With Backlash And Resolution By Using A Discretization-Oriented Describing Function, M. De La Sen, A. Pena, J. Esnaola Jan 1998

Analysis Of Nonlinear Sustained Oscillations In Discrete Systems With Backlash And Resolution By Using A Discretization-Oriented Describing Function, M. De La Sen, A. Pena, J. Esnaola

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, a discretization-oriented describing function is derived for nonlinear devices combining backlash and quantization (resolution) while being subject to discretization through a sampler and zero-order hold. Such a describing function is frequency-dependent so that the overall nonlinearity, which includes both resolution and backlash, is interpreted as possessing nonlinear inertia. That nonlinear inertia is generated by the sampling process, since it does not appear if the system is continuous. The presence of nonlinear sustained oscillations (limit cycles) is investigated through simulations.


Adaptive Shape From Shading, Ati̇lla Gülteki̇n, Muhi̇tti̇n Gökmen Jan 1998

Adaptive Shape From Shading, Ati̇lla Gülteki̇n, Muhi̇tti̇n Gökmen

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Extracting surface orientation and surface depth from one or more images is one of the classic problems in computer vision. Shape-from-shading (SFS) deals with the recovery of 3-D shape from a single shaded image. The shape is recovered by minimizing an energy functional involving constraints such as smoothness. In this constrained problem, although the smoothness constraint helps to stabilize the minimization process, it pushes the reconstruction toward a smooth surface. In this paper, we present a new adaptive shape-from-shading method which reduces this oversmoothing by controlling the smoothness spatially over the image space. In order to improve the quality of …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Electric currents produced by the neural activity in the brain create electric potentials on the scalp and magnetic field distribution outside the scalp. Measuring electric and magnetic fields provides a means to understand the spatio-temporal distribution of the neural activity. The representations of the intracellular electric current of active cell populations based on bimodal data are called electro-magnetic source image (EMSI). With the recent development of large arrays of magnetic sensors, and systems for measuring scalp voltages at more than 100 locations, it is now feasible to implement computational methods that employ numerical models which incorporate the correct geometry and …

Carbon Monoxide Hydrogenation Over Ru-Mn-K/Al_2o_3 Catalysts, S. Tajammul Hussain, M. Ashraf Atta Jan 1997

Carbon Monoxide Hydrogenation Over Ru-Mn-K/Al_2o_3 Catalysts, S. Tajammul Hussain, M. Ashraf Atta

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The catalytic behavior of a series Ru/Al_2O_3 catalysts promoted with various levels of Mn and K prepared by coimpregnation were investigated in the CO-hydrogenation reaction. Catalytic studies showed that the addition of Mn enhances the production of Fischer Tropsch products and K promotion in particular enhances the production of unsaturated hydrocarbons while inhibiting the methanation reaction. The influence of K and Mn on the Fischer Tropsch product selectivity in CO-hydrogenation studies is discussed in terms of ensemble and electronic effects, and the production of a new surface site Ru:Mn:K.

Complex Conjugation Equivariant Topology Of Complex Surfaces, Sergey Finashin Jan 1997

Complex Conjugation Equivariant Topology Of Complex Surfaces, Sergey Finashin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Suppose X is a non-singular complex surface defined over \R, which is a complete intersection constructed by the method of a small perturbation, and Y=X/\conj is its quotient by the complex conjugation \conj\: X\to X. Assume that \conj has a fixed point. Then Y is completely decomposable, i.e., splits into a connected sum \#_n \Cp^2\#_m\barCP^2 or \#_n(S^2\!\times\! S^2).


A (--86)-Sphere In The K3 Surface, Sergey Finashin, Grigory Mikhalkin Jan 1997

A (--86)-Sphere In The K3 Surface, Sergey Finashin, Grigory Mikhalkin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Consider the self-intersection number [\Sigma].[\Sigma] of a 2-dimensional sphere \Sigma embedded into a K3 surface. Since a K3 surface is spin, [\Sigma].[\Sigma] is even and by Gauge theoretical arguments [\Sigma].[\Sigma]\le 0. No other restriction on [\Sigma].[\Sigma] is known. It is a problem 4.105(D) from the Kirby list \cite{K} to determine the possible values of [\Sigma].[\Sigma]. This paper shows that the even numbers between 0 and -86 do appear as [\Sigma].[\Sigma].
