Adaptive Optimization Of Edca Parameters For Improved Qos In Multi-Media Applications, Alparslan Çi̇l, Mehmet Akar, Emi̇n Anarim

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

IEEE 802.11e Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) has been incorporated into the standard as an effective medium access mechanism in order to provide the desired QoS for multimedia applications such as VoIP and IPTV. This paper presents an adaptive optimization algorithm in EDCA which strives to provide improved QoS from both delay and throughput perspectives. As a first step towards this goal, a Markov model of the EDCA mechanism has been introduced, which is subsequently used to compute the estimates of throughput and delay. Based on the analytical model that is validated via real-time simulations in OPNET, a new algorithm …


Hybrid Mpi+Upc Parallel Programming Paradigm On An Smp Cluster, Zeki̇ Bozkuş Jan 2012

Hybrid Mpi+Upc Parallel Programming Paradigm On An Smp Cluster, Zeki̇ Bozkuş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) cluster system, which consists of shared memory nodes with several multicore central processing units connected to a high-speed network to form a distributed memory system, is the most widely available hardware architecture for the high-performance computing community. Today, the Message Passing Interface (MPI) is the most widely used parallel programming paradigm for SMP clusters, in which the MPI provides programming both for an SMP node and among nodes simultaneously. However, Unified Parallel C (UPC) is an emerging alternative that supports the partitioned global address space model that can be again employed within and across the nodes …

Covers And Envelopes With Respect To A Semidualizing Module, Xiaoguang Yan, Xiaosheng Zhu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let R be a commutative ring and C be a semidualizing R-module. For a given class of R-modules Q, we define a class Q_C by M \in Q_C \Leftrightarrow Hom_R(C,M) \in Q. We prove that if Q \subseteq (R) is a Kaplansky class and closed under direct sums, then Q_C^{\bot} is special preenveloping. As corollaries, we can show that p_C^{n \bot} and f_C^{n \bot} are both special preenveloping. Finally, we show that I_C^n is covering, I_C^{n \bot} is enveloping and special preenveloping provided R is Noetherian.

Combinatorial Results For Order-Preserving And Order-Decreasing Transformations, Gonca Ayik, Hayrullah Ayik, Meti̇n Koç

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let O_n and C_n be the semigroup of all order-preserving transformations and of all order-preserving and order-decreasing transformations on the finite set X_n={1,2,\ldots ,n}, respectively. Let \fix (\alpha )={x\in X_n:x\alpha =x} for any transformation \alpha. In this paper, for any Y\subseteq X_n, we find the cardinalities of the sets O_{n,Y}={\alpha\in O_n:\fix (\alpha)=Y} and C_{n,Y}={\alpha\in C_n: \fix (\alpha )=Y}. Moreover, we find the numbers of transformations of O_n and C_n with r fixed points.

Weak-Projective Dimensions, Mohammad Javad Nikmehr, Zahra Poormahmood, Reza Nikandish

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, the notions of weak-projective modules and weak-projective dimension over commutative domain R are given. It is shown that over semisimple rings with weak global dimension 1, these modules are equivalent to weak-injective modules. The weak-projective dimension measures how far away a domain is from being a Prüfer domain. Several properties of these modules are also presented.

On Generalized (\Alpha,\Beta)-Derivations Of Semiprime Rings, Faisal Ali, Muhammad Anwar Chaudhry Jan 2011

On Generalized (\Alpha,\Beta)-Derivations Of Semiprime Rings, Faisal Ali, Muhammad Anwar Chaudhry

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We investigate some properties of generalized (\alpha,\beta)-derivations on semiprime rings. Among some other results, we show that if g is a generalized (\alpha,\beta)-derivation, with associated (\alpha,\beta)-derivation \delta, on a semiprime ring R such that [g(x),\alpha(x)]=0 for all x\in R, then \delta(x)[y,z]=0 for all x,y,z\in R and \delta is central. We also show that if \alpha,\nu,\tau are endomorphisms and \beta,\mu are automorphisms of a semiprime ring R and if R has a generalized (\alpha,\beta)-derivation g, with associated (\alpha,\beta)-derivation \delta, such that g([\mu(x),w(y)])=[\nu(x),w(y)]_{\alpha,\tau}, where w:R\rightarrow R is commutativity preserving, then [y,z]\delta(w(p))=0 for all y,z,p\in R.

The Otsuki (non-round) sphere in E^4 is one of the special examples of this surface. Finally, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the flat Ganchev-Milousheva rotational surface to have pointwise 1-type Gauss map.

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let M^n be an n\(n \geq 3)-dimensional complete connected and oriented hypersurface in M^{n+1}(c)(c \geq 0) with constant mean curvature H and with two distinct principal curvatures, one of which is simple. We show that (1) if c=1 and the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M^n satisfies a rigidity condition (1.3), then M^n is isometric to the Riemannian product S^1(\sqrt{1-a^2}) \times S^{n-1}(a); (2) if c=0, H \neq 0 and the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M^n satisfies S \geq n^2H^2/(n-1), then M^n is isometric to the Riemannian product S^{n-1}(a)\times R or S^1(a) \times R^{n-1}

Stress-Strain Characteristics, Dynamic Recrystallization, Grain Growth, And Melting Point Of The Binary And Ternary Solder Alloys, Shakib Moqbel Ali Mohammed Alsowidy, Mohammed Ali Shukri

Turkish Journal of Physics

An advanced solder alloy, Pb-10wt%Sn-3wt%Zn, has been developed to improve the mechanical properties of the Pb-10wt%Sn based solders. Deformation behavior of Pb-10wt%Sn and Pb-10wt%Sn-3wt%Zn alloys was investigated in tension at strain rates from 0.005% to 0.25% s^{-1} in the temperature range 383--433 K. The stress-strain characteristics curves showed two deformation modes: (i) continuous work softening and fracture following a sharp stress in Pb-10wt%Sn, (ii) work hardening with steady-state flow and fracture just after yielding in Pb-10wt%Sn-3wt%Zn. In the work softening type, relatively coarse grains ranging from 30 to 60 \mu m are produced by dynamic recrystallization (DRX). In the work …

Coverings Of Lie Groupoids, İlhan İçen, M. Habi̇l Gürsoy, A. Fati̇h Özcan

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this work we constitute the category of coverings of the Lie fundamental groupoid associated with a connected smooth manifold. We show that this category is equivalent to the category of universal coverings of a connected smooth manifold. In addition, we prove the equivalence of the category of coverings of a Lie groupoid and the category of actions of this Lie groupoid on a connected smooth manifold. Also we present two side results related to actions of Lie groupoids on the manifolds and coverings of Lie groupoids.


Krull Dimension Of Types In A Class Of First-Order Theories, Domenico Zambella Jan 2011

Krull Dimension Of Types In A Class Of First-Order Theories, Domenico Zambella

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We study a class of first-order theories whose complete quantifier-free types with one free variable either have a trivial positive part or are isolated by a positive quantifier-free formula---plus a few other technical requirements. The theory of vector spaces and the theory fields are examples. We prove the amalgamation property and the existence of a model-companion. We show that the model-companion is strongly minimal. We also prove that the length of any increasing sequence of prime types is bounded, so every formula has finite Krull dimension.

Geometrical Objects Associated To A Substructure, Fatma Özdemi̇r, Mircea Craşmareanu Jan 2011

Geometrical Objects Associated To A Substructure, Fatma Özdemi̇r, Mircea Craşmareanu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Several geometric objects, namely global tensor fields of (1,1)-type, linear connections and Riemannian metrics, associated to a given substructure on a splitting of tangent bundle, are studied. From the point of view of lifting to entire manifold, two types of polynomial substructures are distinguished according to the vanishing of not of the sum of the coefficients. Conditions of parallelism for the extended structure with respect to some remarkable linear connections are given in two forms, firstly in a global description and secondly using the decomposition in distributions. A generalization of both Hermitian and anti-Hermitian geometry is proposed.

A New Lvi Assisted Psfb Dc-Dc Converter, Ahmet Faruk Bakan Jan 2011

A New Lvi Assisted Psfb Dc-Dc Converter, Ahmet Faruk Bakan

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, a new Phase Shifted Full Bridge (PSFB) Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) isolated dc-dc converter is proposed. In the proposed converter, resonant inductor is replaced with Linear Variable Inductor (LVI) that is controlled by output current. The soft switching operation range is increased and the dependency of ZVS operation on the load current is decreased. The required energy for ZVS operation at low current levels is obtained by means of the high value of the LVI. The value of LVI decreases approximately linearly with increasing current. At high current levels parasitic resonance and duty cycle loss are decreased. …

We transferred the integral of the Hankel function multiplied by sinc functions to Hankel function introducing a slight error with large band width. We proved that this relative error during the generation of the main matrix …
