H-Binder: A Hardened Binder Framework On Android Systems, Dong Shen, Zhangkai Zhang, Xuhua Ding, Zhoujun Li, Robert H. Deng
Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems
The Binder framework is at the core of Android systems due to its fundamental role for interprocess communications. Applications use the Binder to perform high level tasks such as accessing location information. The importance of the Binder makes it an attractive target for attackers. Rootkits on Android platforms can arbitrarily access any Binder transaction data and therefore have system-wide security impact. In this paper, we propose H-Binder to secure the Binder IPC channel between two applications. It runs transparently with Android and COTS applications without making changes on their binaries. In this work, we design a bare-metal ARM hypervisor with …

[First paragraph] A Composite Memento is an archived representation of a web page with all the page requisites such as images and stylesheets. All embedded resources have their own URIs, hence, they are archived independently. For a meaningful archival replay, it is important to load all the page requisites from the archive within the temporal neighborhood of the base HTML page. To achieve this goal, archival replay systems try to rewrite all the resource references to appropriate archived versions before serving HTML, CSS, or JS. However, an effective server-side URL rewriting is difficult when URLs are generated dynamically using JavaScript. …

Elevated Trace Metal Content Of Prokaryotic Communities Associated With Marine Oxygen Deficient Zones, Daniel C. Ohnemus, Sara Rauschenberg, Gregory A. Cutter, Jessica N. Fitzsimmons, Robert M. Sherrell, Benjamin S. Twining
OES Faculty Publications
Little is known about the trace metal content of marine prokaryotes, in part due to their co-occurrence with more abundant particulate phases in the upper ocean, such as phytoplankton and biogenic detritus, lithogenic minerals, and authigenic Mn and Fe oxyhydroxides. We attempt to isolate these biomass signals in particulate data from the US GEOTRACES Eastern Pacific Zonal Transect (cruise GP16) in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific (ETSP), which exhibited consistent maxima in P and other bioactive trace metals, and minima in particulate Mn, in the oxygen deficient zones (ODZs) of 13 stations. Nitrite maxima and nitrate deficits indicated the presence …

OES Faculty Publications
Coral reefs are built of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) produced biogenically by a diversity of calcifying plants, animals, and microbes. As the ocean warms and acidifies, there is mounting concern that declining calcification rates could shift coral reef CaCO3 budgets from net accretion to net dissolution. We quantified net ecosystem calcification (NEC) and production (NEP) on Dongsha Atoll, northern South China Sea, over a 2 week period that included a transient bleaching event. Peak daytime pH on the wide, shallow reef flat during the nonbleaching period was ~8.5, significantly elevated above that of the surrounding open ocean (~8.0-8.1) as …

Twenty-First Century Climate Change And Submerged Aquatic Vegetation In A Temperate Estuary: The Case Of Chesapeake Bay, Thomas M. Arnold, Richard C. Zimmerman, Katharina A.M. Engelhardt, J. Court Stevenson
OES Faculty Publications
Introduction: The Chesapeake Bay was once renowned for expansive meadows of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). However, only 10% of the original meadows survive. Future restoration effortswill be complicated by accelerating climate change, including physiological stressors such as a predicted mean temperature increase of 2-6°C and a 50-160% increase in CO2 concentrations.
Outcomes: As the Chesapeake Bay begins to exhibit characteristics of a subtropical estuary, summer heat waves will become more frequent and severe. Warming alone would eventually eliminate eelgrass (Zostera marina) from the region. It will favor native heat-tolerant species such as widgeon grass (Ruppia maritima) while facilitating colonization by …

Metaproteomics is the characterization of all proteins being expressed by a community of organisms in a complex biological sample at a single point in time. Applications of metaproteomics range from the comparative analysis of environmental samples (such as ocean water and soil) to microbiome data from multicellular organisms (such as the human gut). Metaproteomics research is often focused on the quantitative functional makeup of the metaproteome and which organisms are making those proteins. That is: What are the functions of the currently expressed proteins? How much of the metaproteome is associated with those functions? And, which microorganisms are expressing the …

Sea level rise (SLR) can exert significant stress on highly populated coastal societies and low-lying island countries around the world. Because of this, there is huge societal demand for improved decadal predictions and future projections of SLR, particularly on a local scale along coastlines. Regionally, sea level variations can deviate considerably from the global mean due to various geophysical processes. These include changes of ocean circulations, which partially can be attributed to natural, internal modes of variability in the complex Earth's climate system. Anthropogenic influence may also contribute to regional sea level variations. Separating the effects of natural climate modes …

Among conventional DR methods, principal component analysis, maximum noise fraction, and independent component analysis were used for the purpose of dimension reduction. The study was conducted using these DR techniques on a real hyperspectral image, an AVIRIS dataset with 224 bands, throughout the experiments. It was observed that DR may have a significant effect on the classification performance. After the DR methods were applied to the image dataset, the extracted reduced bands were used for testing classification performances. Four commonly used classification …
A Game-Theoretic Framework For Active Distribution Network Planning To Benefit Different Participants Under The Electricity Market, Bo Zeng, Jinyue Shi, Junqiang Wen, Jianhua Zhang
A Game-Theoretic Framework For Active Distribution Network Planning To Benefit Different Participants Under The Electricity Market, Bo Zeng, Jinyue Shi, Junqiang Wen, Jianhua Zhang
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
With the deregulation of the power sector, distribution system planning is transforming from the traditional integrated decision mode to the multiple-player-based decentralized paradigm. However, this could potentially cause an adverse impact on the performance of the system due to interest conflict of market players during operations. To address such an issue, this paper develops a game-theoretic framework for active distribution network planning under the electricity market. The interplay between the distribution utility (DISCO) and distributed generation investors (DGO) is formulated as a noncooperative, two-person-based Stackelberg game in which the DISCO, as the leader of the game, makes expansion of the …
Unknown Input Observer Based On Lmi For Robust Generation Residuals, Souad Tahraoui, Abdelmadjid Meghabbar, Djamila Boubekeur
Unknown Input Observer Based On Lmi For Robust Generation Residuals, Souad Tahraoui, Abdelmadjid Meghabbar, Djamila Boubekeur
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, a method of generating robust residuals of a linear system, subject to unknown inputs, is proposed. The impact of disturbances and uncertainty may create difficulties at the decision stage of diagnosis (false alarm); this has resulted in the use of a robust observer for the unknown inputs to ensure the robustness of the system based on the unknown input observer with an optimal decoupling approach, which has a sensitivity that is minimal to unknown inputs and maximal to faults. A generation of robust residuals is then transformed into a problem of robustness/sensitivity constraints (H$_{\infty }$, H and …
Periodic Control For The Cart Pendulum System With Structured Uncertainty, Arindam Chakraborty, Jayati Dey
Periodic Control For The Cart Pendulum System With Structured Uncertainty, Arindam Chakraborty, Jayati Dey
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The robust stabilization of the cart pendulum system was studied under structured uncertainty with a continuous-time periodic controller. The cart pendulum system was considered here as the test set-up as it is a well-known example of an unstable nonminimum phase system. The uncertainty in the system rose due to measurement error or dry friction in it. In this paper, the robust stability of the periodic controller in the presence of uncertainty was examined. The gain margin and delay margin endow with the periodic controller were superior to those obtained in the case of linear time invariant (LTI) control even in …

Low Power 3rd Order Feedforward Sigma Delta Adc Design, Feyyaz Meli̇h Akçakaya, Günhan Dündar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this work, a 3-bit feedforward 3rd order sigma delta analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is presented. In this proposed architecture, feedforward paths and multibit design help the integrator output swings to become smaller, which renders the exploitation of a telescopic cascode opamp in the integrators possible. Moreover, a double sampling method is used to relax the opamp specifications. The proposed sigma delta ADC consumes 28.2 $\mu $W and has 81.3 dB SNDR according to postlayout simulations.

A Multifunctional Dstatcom For Power Quality Improvement, Mohammad Mahdianpoor, Arash Kiyoumarsi, Mohammad Ataei, Rahmat Allah Hooshmand, Houshang Karimi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) is used for various purposes such as load balancing, harmonic rejection, and power factor correction (PFC) in power distribution networks. In unbalanced and polluted power systems, the classic definition of power factor cannot be used for PFC due to the existence of harmonics and negative sequence components in voltage and current waveforms. In this paper, PFC is performed using the IEEE power factor definition for harmonic and unbalanced environments. Moreover, the application of a proportional-resonant (PR) controller is proposed as an effective controller in the stationary frame for DSTATCOM performance improvement. The PR controller is …

The Impact Of Sampling Frequency And Amplitude Modulation Index On Low Order Harmonics In A 3-Phase Sv-Pvm Voltage Source Inverter, Qamil Kabashi, Myzafere Limani, Nebi Caka, Milaim Zabeli
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Nowadays, variable speed AC motors are widely used in industry and there are many speed adjustment techniques available. In the last decade there has been a trend towards the use of space vector PWM--IGBT inverters, due to easier digital realization and better utilization of the DC bus. Every power inverter produces a total harmonic distortion (THD) on its output that causes extra losses in stator of induction motors. By eliminating a number of low order voltage/current harmonics it is possible to reduce harmonic losses (stator losses) and mechanical oscillations in general. This could be achieved by implementing filters in the …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Presently, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are being used extensively in the defense, private, domestic, etc. fields and each of these emulates a personal area network (PAN). A MANET does not require any infrastructure; moreover, it can behave as a mobile network. These features have boosted the popularity of MANETs in the community. As more and more fields become dependent on MANETs, the system needs to be more energy aware and low cost. To commercialize MANETs, the routing protocols need to be lightweight, secure, and energy efficient, and the hardware on which it is to be implemented should be low …

Real-time multimedia applications are becoming increasingly popular among mobile cellular users. Given that Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A), which is an emerging mobile cellular standard, needs to support these multimedia applications, packet scheduling is of paramount importance in LTE-A. This paper proposes a packet scheduling algorithm known as novel scheduling for usage in the downlink of LTE-A. It takes channel quality, average throughput, and packet delay into account when determining the priority of each user. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm in optimizing real-time multimedia performance for more mobile cellular users.

Minimizing Scheduling Overhead In Lre-Tl Real-Time Multiprocessor Scheduling Algorithm, Hitham Seddig Alhassan Alhussian, Mohamed Nordin Bin Zakaria, Fawnizu Azmadi Bin Hussin
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this paper, we present a modification of the local remaining execution-time and local time domain (LRE-TL) real-time multiprocessor scheduling algorithm, aimed at reducing the scheduling overhead in terms of task migrations. LRE-TL achieves optimality by employing the fairness rule at the end of each time slice in a fluid schedule model. LRE-TL makes scheduling decisions using two scheduling events. The bottom (B) event, which occurs when a task consumes its local utilization, has to be preempted in order to resume the execution of another task, if any, or to idle the processor if none exist. The critical (C) event …
Implementation Of Zero Voltage Switched Sepic/Zeta Bidirectional Converter For Low Power Applications Using Fpga, Venmathi Mahendran, Ramaprabha Ramabadran
Implementation Of Zero Voltage Switched Sepic/Zeta Bidirectional Converter For Low Power Applications Using Fpga, Venmathi Mahendran, Ramaprabha Ramabadran
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper presents a derived SEPIC/ZETA bidirectional converter (BDC) with reduced ripple in the noninverted output voltage. This converter is obtained by the fusion of unidirectional SEPIC and ZETA converters that ensures reduced ripple in the inductor currents. The optimal selection of duty ratio enables the proposed converter to operate either in SEPIC or ZETA mode under forward and reverse power flow. The presence of auxiliary circuit not only reduces the voltage stress on the switches by operating under zero voltage switching condition but also provides isolation between the input and the output ports. The operational principle and the stability …

Compared to terrestrial work, the analysis of larger areas with remote sensing techniques can be done on a shorter timescale and at lower cost. Image classification in remote sensing is one of the most popular methods used for the detection of forest and agricultural areas. However, the accuracy of classification changes according to …
An Intelligent Approach In Delay Tolerant Network Routing, Azadeh Omidvar, Karim Mohammadi
An Intelligent Approach In Delay Tolerant Network Routing, Azadeh Omidvar, Karim Mohammadi
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are wireless intermittent networks. DTNs have different applications such as wildlife tracking, military, and space searching. Conventional mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing protocols are not efficient in these networks because of intermittency. DTNs use store-carry-forward (SCF) for data transferring. In SCF, nodes store the messages and carry them until finding appropriate nodes for forwarding. Message replication greatly helps to improve the delivery ratio while increasing overhead. This paper examines the use of intelligent routing to choose nodes that have more probability to reach their destination. This will help to increase the message delivery ratio while …

Protection Coordination For A Distribution System In The Presence Of Distributed Generation, Muhammad Yousaf, Tahir Mahmood
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes an effective strategy to overcome the impacts on coordination among protection devices due to distributed generator (DG) integration. Increased fault current magnitude and changes in power flow directions are the major impacts imposed by DGs on a typical distribution system. The recloser-fuse coordination is much influenced upon the integration of DGs. The proposed approach presents the rehabilitation of recloser-fuse coordination for post-DG integration effects using the directional properties of a recloser. The simulation results show that coordination among protection devices can be regained using fast operation of the recloser to design a fuse saving scheme in the …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In recent years, an increasing number of various surgeries are observed utilizing fluoroscopy. The radiation exposure received by patients and medical staff and the surgical guidance in multiple planes frequently necessitate the positioning of a mobile C-arm. Operative navigation enables a mobile C-arm to provide multiplanar surgical guidance and decreases the radiation dose to the patient and operating room personnel. In this study, we propose a video-based tracked mobile C-arm (referred to as a "tracked C-arm system") to position the system. This system defines a reference framework to maintain the video-optical tracker data and computed tomography (CT) or cone-beam CT …
Probabilistic Data Fusion Model For Heart Beat Detection From Multimodal Physiological Data, Tehseen Zia, Zulqarnian Arif
Probabilistic Data Fusion Model For Heart Beat Detection From Multimodal Physiological Data, Tehseen Zia, Zulqarnian Arif
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Automatic detection of heart beats constitutes the basis for electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis and mainly relies on detecting QRS complexes. Detection is typically performed by analyzing the ECG signal. However, when signal quality is low, it often leads to the triggering of false alarms. A contemporary approach to reduce false alarm rate is to use multimodal data such as arterial blood pressure (ABP) or photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals. To leverage the correlated temporal nature of these signals, a probabilistic data fusion model for heart beat detection is proposed. A hidden Markov model is used to decode waveforms into segments. A Bayesian network …

Adaptive Control Of Pure-Feedback Systems In The Presence Of Parametric Uncertainties, Mehrnoosh Asadi, Heydar Toossian Shandiz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
The purpose of this study is to investigate an adaptive control approach for completely nonaffine pure-feedback systems with linear/nonlinear parameterization. In this approach, the parameter separation technique and the idea of the positive function of linearly connected parameters are coupled effectively with the combination of backstepping and time-scale separation. Subsequently, a fast dynamical equation is derived from the original subsystem, where the solution is sought to approximate the corresponding ideal virtual/actual control inputs. Furthermore, the adaptation law of unknown parameters can be derived based on Lyapunov theory in the backstepping technique and there is no need to design a state …
