On The Autocentralizer Subgroups Of Finite $P$--Groups, Parisa Seifizadeh, Ali Gholamian, Amirali Farokhniaee, Mohammad Mehdi Nasrabadi Jan 2020

On The Autocentralizer Subgroups Of Finite $P$--Groups, Parisa Seifizadeh, Ali Gholamian, Amirali Farokhniaee, Mohammad Mehdi Nasrabadi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let $G$ be a finite group and ${\rm Aut}(G)$ be the group of automorphisms of $G.$ Then, the autocentralizer of an automorphism $\alpha\in {\rm Aut}(G)$ in $G$ is defined as $C_{G}(\alpha)= \lbrace g \in G\vert \alpha(g)=g\rbrace.$ Let $Acent(G)=\lbrace C_{G}(\alpha)\vert \alpha \in {\rm Aut}(G) \rbrace.$ If $\vert Acent(G)\vert= n,$ then $G$ is an $n$--autocentralizer group. In this paper, we classify all $n$--autocentralizer abelian groups for $n=$ 6, 7 and 8. We also obtain a lower bound on the number of autocentralizer subgroups for $p$--groups, where $p$ is a prime number. We show that if $p\neq 2,$ there is no $n$--autocentralizer $p$--group …

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In present study, we investigate the existence of solution for a multiterm fractional integro-differential system with special boundary conditions under some different conditions. In this way, we provide different results for the existence of solutions for the system and also for obtaining unique solution for the system under different conditions. We also present three numerical examplesin which by using the Legendre multiwavelet method, we approximate solutions of the system. These examples illustrate our main results.

Also, to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the present method, an alternative convergence criterion along with error analysis depending on residual function …


Fluvio-Karstic Evolution Of The Taşeli Plateau (Central Taurus, Turkey), Muhammed Zeynel Öztürk Jan 2020

Fluvio-Karstic Evolution Of The Taşeli Plateau (Central Taurus, Turkey), Muhammed Zeynel Öztürk

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Uplift history is an important factor in the structural patterns and karstification of the Taşeli Plateau. The morphological development of the study area consists of five stages according to its sedimentation, rotation, uplift, and climatic properties. (1) Shallow carbonates accumulated during the Early Miocene. (2) An emersion and drainage network developed as a result of the compressional neotectonic regime in the Late Miocene. (3) Dense joint systems were formed due to the ~40° clockwise rotation of the eastern limb of the Isparta Angle. (4) The climate of the study area changed as a result of rapid uplift from Late Pliocene …

The Ypresian To Lutetian Marine Record In Nw Turkey: A Revised Biostratigraphy Andchronostratigraphy And Implications For Eocene Paleogeography, Ercan Özcan, Zahi̇de Özcan, Aral I. Okay, Kenan Akbayram, Aynur Hakyemez

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Eocene sedimentary units in the Kocaeli and Armutlu peninsulas and İznik-Geyve region (northwest Turkey) consist of marine siliciclastic and carbonate deposits, locally intercalated with volcaniclastic rocks and tuffs (Middle Eocene Magmatic Rocks-MEMR). The record of larger benthic fauna (LBF) and pelagic microfossils, such as planktonic foraminifera and calcareous nannoplankton, combined with lithological description, indicate a wide spectrum of depositional environments ranging from shallowto deep-marine. These deposits contain in situ and/or allochthonous assemblages of orthophragminids, nummulitids, subordinate rotaliids, and sparse alveolinids. The in situ assemblages (mainly orthophragminids) point to several episodes of shallow marine depositional conditions during a) early Ypresian …

Optimal Design Of A Flux Reversal Permanent Magnet Machine As A Wind Turbinegenerator, Majid Ghasemian, Farzad Tahami, Zahra Nasiri-Gheidari

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Flux reversal permanent magnet generators are well suited for use as wind turbine generators owing to their high torque generation ability and magnetic gear. However, they suffer from poor voltage regulation due to their high winding inductance. In this paper, a design optimization method is proposed for flux reversal generators in wind turbine applications. The proposed method includes a new multiobjective function. Cost, volume of the generator, and mass of the permanent magnet are considered in it independently and simultaneously. Besides the new objective function, the main superiority of this paper compared with published papers is considering winding inductance in …

Nonlocal Means Estimation Of Intrinsic Mode Functions For Speech Enhancement, Sagar Reddy Vumanthala, Bikshalu K Jan 2020

Nonlocal Means Estimation Of Intrinsic Mode Functions For Speech Enhancement, Sagar Reddy Vumanthala, Bikshalu K

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The main aim of this paper is to introduce a new approach to enhance speech signals by exploring the advantages of nonlocal means (NLM) estimation and empirical mode decomposition. NLM, a patch-based denoising method, is extensively used for two-dimensional signals like images. However, its use for one-dimensional signals has been attracting more attention recently. The NLM-based approach is quite useful for removing low-frequency noises based on nonlocal similarities present among samples of the signal. However, there is an issue of under averaging in the high-frequency regions. The temporal and spectral characteristics of the speech signal are changing markedly over time. …


Multiplicative-Additive Despeckling In Sar Images, Gülay Aksoy, Fati̇h Nar Jan 2020

Multiplicative-Additive Despeckling In Sar Images, Gülay Aksoy, Fati̇h Nar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Visual and automatic analyses using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are challenging because of inherently formed speckle noise. Thus, reducing speckle noise in SAR images is an important research area for SAR image analysis. During speckle noise reduction, homogeneous regions should be smoothed while details such as edges and point scatterers need to be preserved. General speckle noise model contains gamma distributed multiplicative part which is dominant and Gaussian distributed additive part which is in low amount and mostly neglected in literature. In this study, a novel sparsity-driven speckle reduction method is proposed that takes both multiplicative noise model and …


Detection Of Bga Solder Defects From X-Ray Images Using Deep Neural Network, Ceren Türer Akdeni̇z, Zümray Ölmez, Tamer Ölmez Jan 2020

Detection Of Bga Solder Defects From X-Ray Images Using Deep Neural Network, Ceren Türer Akdeni̇z, Zümray Ölmez, Tamer Ölmez

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In the literature it is observed that complex image processing operations are used in the classification of Ball Grid Array (BGA) X-ray images, however high classification results were not achieved. In recent years, it has been shown that deep learning methods are very successful especially in classification problems. In this study, a new deep neural network (DNN) model is proposed to classify the BGA X-ray images. The proposed DNN model contains feature extractor layers and a minimum distance classifier. Since the proposed network consists of less number of layers (4 convolution layers and 1 fully connected layer), determination of the …


Connectivity Considerations For Mission Planning Of A Search And Rescue Drone Team, Evşen Yanmaz Adam Jan 2020

Connectivity Considerations For Mission Planning Of A Search And Rescue Drone Team, Evşen Yanmaz Adam

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we analyze the mission success performance and mission times of centralized, distributed, and hybrid path-planning methods for a drone team whose mission is to find a target and inform the ground control. We propose two methods that integrate connectivity into the search mission path decisions. We observe that even though the coverage path-planning leads to lower search times, when target connectivity is also required, schemes that incorporate end--end connectivity into path planning result in at least 50 % better mission times for small communication ranges and lower number of drones. Our results also indicate that methods to …

Fuzzy Genetic Based Dynamic Spectrum Allocation (Fgdsa) Approach For Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks, Ganesan Rajesh, Xavier Mercilin Raajini, Kulandairaj Martin Sagayam, Bharat Bhushan, Utku Kose

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Cognitive Radio Sensor Network (CRSN) is known as a distributed network of wireless cognitive radio sensor nodes. Such system senses an event signal and ensures collaborative dynamic communication processes over the spectrum bands. Here, the concept of Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) denes the method of reaching progressively to the unused range of spectrum band. As among the essential CRSN user types, the Primary User (PU) has the license to access the spectrum band. On the other hand, the Secondary User (SU) tries to access the unused spectrum eciently, by not disturbing the PU. Considering that issue, this study introduces a …


Wavelength Sensitivity Of Indium Tin Oxide On Surface Plasmon Resonance Angles, Antonio Ruiz, Carlos Villa Angulo, Ivan Olaf Hernandez-Fuentes Jan 2020

Wavelength Sensitivity Of Indium Tin Oxide On Surface Plasmon Resonance Angles, Antonio Ruiz, Carlos Villa Angulo, Ivan Olaf Hernandez-Fuentes

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a charge-density oscillation that occurs when a beam of p-polarized monochromatic light impinges with a greater angle than the critical angle in a dielectric-metal interface. Because of the high losses related to metals, the generated surface plasmon waves propagate with high attenuation in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions in most of the dielectric-metal interfaces. An alternative to reduce such losses is to use a transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) film. In this paper, we compared theoretical calculations and experimental measurements of the SPR angle $\theta_{SPR}$ on the interfaces of a borosilicate prism (Bp) and …

Hyracoidea From The Middle Miocene Hominoid Locality Of Paşalar (Nw Turkey), Martin Pickford, Serdar Mayda, Berna Alpagut, Fatma Arzu Demi̇rel, Ayşegül Şarbak, Tümel Tanju Kaya Jan 2020

Hyracoidea From The Middle Miocene Hominoid Locality Of Paşalar (Nw Turkey), Martin Pickford, Serdar Mayda, Berna Alpagut, Fatma Arzu Demi̇rel, Ayşegül Şarbak, Tümel Tanju Kaya

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Previously available samples of Hyracoidea from Paşalar (MN 6, Middle Miocene), Turkey, have indicated the presence of Pliohyracidae at the site, but the material was too scanty for confident identification. The single upper molar, an upper molar ectoloph fragment and an ascending ramal fragment were too uninformative for determining the taxonomic identity of the fossils, although several names have been proposed in the literature. Additional fossils collected from Paşalar include upper and lower premolars, which help to tie down the affinities of this hyracoid. They are attributed to the genus Prohyrax, but were not named specifically, even though they are …

4-Generated Pseudo Symmetric Monomial Curves With Not Cohen-Macaulay Tangent Cones, Ni̇l Şahi̇n Jan 2020

4-Generated Pseudo Symmetric Monomial Curves With Not Cohen-Macaulay Tangent Cones, Ni̇l Şahi̇n

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, standard bases of some toric ideals associated to 4-generated pseudo symmetric semigroups with not Cohen-Macaulay tangent cones at the origin are computed. As the tangent cones are not Cohen-Macaulay, nondecreasingness of the Hilbert function of the local ring was not guaranteed. Therefore, using these standard bases, Hilbert functions are explicitly computed as a step towards the characterization of Hilbert function. In addition, when the smallest integer satisfying $k(\alpha_2+1)


Network Dynamics Reconstruction From Data, Deni̇z Eroğlu Jan 2020

Network Dynamics Reconstruction From Data, Deni̇z Eroğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

We consider the problem of recovering the model of a complex network of interacting dynamical units from time series of observations. We focus on typical networks which exhibit heterogeneous degrees, i.e. where the number of connections varies widely across the network, and the coupling strength for a single interaction is small. In these networks, the behavior of each unit varies according to their connectivity. Under these mild assumptions, our method provides an effective network reconstruction of the network dynamics. The method is robust to a certain size of noise and only requires relatively short time series on the state variable …


Transfer Matrix In Scattering Theory: A Survey Of Basic Properties And Recent Developments, Ali̇ Mostafazadeh Jan 2020

Transfer Matrix In Scattering Theory: A Survey Of Basic Properties And Recent Developments, Ali̇ Mostafazadeh

Turkish Journal of Physics

We give a pedagogical introduction to time-independent scattering theory in one dimension focusing on the basic properties and recent applications of transfer matrices. In particular, we begin surveying some basic notions of potential scattering such as transfer matrix and its analyticity, multidelta-function and locally periodic potentials, Jost solutions, spectral singularities and their time-reversal, and unidirectional reflectionlessness and invisibility. We then offer a simple derivation of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation and the Born series, and discuss the Born approximation. Next, we outline a recently developed dynamical formulation of time-independent scattering theory in one dimension. This formulation relates the transfer matrix and therefore …


Quantum Gravity Correction To The Thermodynamic Quantities Of The Charged Drgt Black Hole, Gani̇m Geçi̇m Jan 2020

Quantum Gravity Correction To The Thermodynamic Quantities Of The Charged Drgt Black Hole, Gani̇m Geçi̇m

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, in the framework of the Hamilton approach, the quantum gravity effect on Hawking temperature, on the specific heat capacity, and on the stability conditions of the charged de Rham, Gabadadze, and Tolley (dRGT) black hole are investigated by using the tunneling processes of both charged massive scalar and Dirac particles. It is shown that quantum corrected Hawking temperature depends not only on the black hole properties but also on the properties of the tunnelling particles. It is also observed that quantum corrected Hawking temperature is lower than that of the standard Hawking temperature. Also, the specific heat …

Analysis Of Chaotic And Regular Behavior Of Matinyan-Yang-Mills-Higgshamiltonian System, Engi̇n Kandiran, Avadi̇s Si̇mon Hacinliyan

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study we analyze the Matinyan-Yang-Mills-Higgs (MYMH) system, based on semiclassical solutions to a Yang-Mills model, using Poincaré surfaces of section and the method of averaging. To investigate the possible chaotic behavior for the system, we simulate the trajectories of the system and calculate the Lyapunov exponents. We observe that the system displays weakly chaotic behavior. We search for the existence of approximately conserved quantities for the system using the method of averaging. In this way, we show the existence of four fixed points where period orbits exist.


Hypergeometric Distribution Of The Number Of Draws From An Urn With Two Types Of Items Before One Of The Counts Reaches A Threshold, J. L. Gonzalez-Santander Jan 2020

Hypergeometric Distribution Of The Number Of Draws From An Urn With Two Types Of Items Before One Of The Counts Reaches A Threshold, J. L. Gonzalez-Santander

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We consider an urn with $R$ elements of one type and $B$ elements of other type. We calculate the probability distribution $P_{n_{R},n_{B}}^{R,B}\left( s\right) $ wherein the random variable $s$ is the number of draws from the urn until we reach $n_{R}$ elements of type $R$ or $n_{B}$ elements of type $B$. We calculate the mean value $\left\langle s\right\rangle $ and the standard deviation $\sigma $ of $P_{n_{R},n_{B}}^{R,B}\left( s\right) $ in terms of hypergeometric functions. For $n_{R}=n_{B}$ and $B=R$ , we reduce $\left\langle s\right\rangle $ and $\sigma $ in terms of elementary functions. Also, the normalization condition leads to a new …

Sedimentology And Hydrocarbon Potential Of The Late Ordovician Glacial Deposits On Thearabian Platform And Southeastern Turkey, Muhi̇tti̇n Şenalp, Sema Teti̇ker

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

The Late Ordovician glacial deposits are widespread and constitute a significant portion of the Early Paleozoic stratigraphic sequence of the cover rocks of the Arabian and African platforms. The glaciation lasted less than one million years between the Late Ashgillian (445 Ma) and Early Silurian (444 Ma) but it had a strong impact on the whole area. It has been proven that the glaciofluvial sandstones form important oil and gas reservoirs in Saudi Arabia and in North African and other Middle Eastern countries, including SE Turkey, but their heterogeneity and internal lithofacies characteristics have not been fully understood yet. In …


Joint Modeling Of Rayleigh Wave Dispersion And H/V Spectral Ratio Using Pareto-Basedmultiobjective Particle Swarm Optimization, Ersi̇n Büyük, Ekrem Zor, Abdullah Karaman Jan 2020

Joint Modeling Of Rayleigh Wave Dispersion And H/V Spectral Ratio Using Pareto-Basedmultiobjective Particle Swarm Optimization, Ersi̇n Büyük, Ekrem Zor, Abdullah Karaman

Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences

Estimating the shear wave velocity and thickness of geologic units in a sedimentary structure is important for quantifying the local site effect caused by an earthquake. Inversion of the Rayleigh wave dispersion alone is sensitive to the absolute average shear wave velocity, while the H/V spectral ratio is sensitive to velocity contrasts. The solution of these models in a joint system using conventional inversion techniques suffers from difficulties while evaluating partial derivatives, dependencies to the initial model that is sometimes difficult to estimate, and trapping at a local minimum. Herein, a joint model using the Pareto optimality technique with multiobjective …


A Spreadsheet-Based Decision Support System For Examination Timetabling, Mehmet Güray Güler, Ebru Geçi̇ci̇ Jan 2020

A Spreadsheet-Based Decision Support System For Examination Timetabling, Mehmet Güray Güler, Ebru Geçi̇ci̇

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Examination timetabling is an inevitable problem of educational institutions. Each institution has its own particular limitations; however, the main structure is the same: assigning exams to time slots and classrooms. Several institutions solve the problem manually, but it becomes more difficult every year with increasing numbers of students and limited resources. There are many studies in the literature addressing the examination timetabling problem (ETP) and providing high quality solutions within reasonable amounts of time. Nevertheless, almost none of them can be used in practice since they are not converted into a decision support system (DSS). Commercial DSSs, on the other …
