Adaptive fractional-order blood glucose regulator based on high-order sliding mode observer
(inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2019) Delavari, Hadi; Baleanu, Dumitru; Heydarinejad, Hamid; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389
Type I diabetes is described by the destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. Hence, exogenous insulin administration is necessary for Type I diabetes patients. In this study, to estimate the states that are not directly available from the Bergman minimal model a high-order sliding mode observer is proposed. Then fractional calculus is combined with sliding mode control (SMC) for blood glucose regulation to create more robustness performance and make more degree of freedom and flexibility for the proposed method. Then an adaptive fractional-order SMC is proposed. The adaptive SMC protect controller against disturbance and uncertainties while the fractional calculus provides robust performance. Numerical simulation verifies that the proposed controllers have better performance in the presence of disturbance and uncertainties without chattering.

The safety awareness and safety behaviors has an average score of 3.85 +/- 0.81 and 3.56 +/- 0.82, respectively. The safety awareness and safety behavior levels of healthcare professionals were found to be high. Conclusion: A significant positive correlation was found between safety awareness and safety behaviors and it was concluded that the increase in safety awareness led to an increase in safety behavior.
An Efficient Computational Technique for Fractal Vehicular Traffic Flow
(Mdpi, 2018) Kumar, Devendra; Baleanu, Dumitru; Tchier, Fairouz; Singh, Jagdev; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389
In this work, we examine a fractal vehicular traffic flow problem. The partial differential equations describing a fractal vehicular traffic flow are solved with the aid of the local fractional homotopy perturbation Sumudu transform scheme and the local fractional reduced differential transform method. Some illustrative examples are taken to describe the success of the suggested techniques. The results derived with the aid of the suggested schemes reveal that the present schemes are very efficient for obtaining the non-differentiable solution to fractal vehicular traffic flow problem.
Analysis for Fractional-Order Predator–Prey Model With Uncertainty
(inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2019) Narayanamoorthy, Samayan; Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; Thangapandi, Kalidas; Perera, Shyam Sanjeewa Nishantha; 56389
Here, the authors analyse the fractional-order predator-prey model with uncertainty, due to the vast applications in various ecological systems. The most of the ecological model do not have exact analytic solution, so they proposed a numerical technique for an approximate solution. In the proposed method, they have implemented the higher order term into the fractional Euler method to enhance the precise solution. Further, the present attempt is aimed to discuss the solutions of the FPPM with uncertainty (fuzzy) initial conditions. The initial conditions of the predator-prey model were taken as fuzzy initial conditions due to the fact that the ecological model highly depends on uncertain parameters such as growth/decay rate, climatic conditions, and chemical reactions. Finally, the numerical example manifest that the proposed method is authentic, applicable, easy to use from a computational viewpoint and the acquired outcomes are balanced with the existing method (HPM), which shows the efficiency of the proposed method.
Analysis of reciprocity of cos-Gaussian and cosh-Gaussian laser beams in a turbulent atmosphere
(Optical Soc Amer, 2004) Eyyuboglu, HT; Baykal, Y; 7688; 7812
In a turbulent atmosphere, starting with a cos-Gaussian excitation at the source plane, the average intensity profile at the receiver plane is formulated. This average intensity profile is evaluated against the variations of link lengths, turbulence levels, two frequently used free-space optics wavelengths, and beam displacement parameters. We show that a cos-Gaussian beam, following a natural diffraction, is eventually transformed into a cosh-Gaussian beam. Combining our earlier results with the current findings, we conclude that cos-Gaussian and cosh-Gaussian beams act in a reciprocal manner after propagation in turbulence. The rates (paces) of conversion in the two directions are not the same. Although the conversion of cos-Gaussian beams to cosh-Gaussian beams can happen over a wide range of turbulence levels (low to moderate to high), the conversion of cosh-Gaussian beams to cos-Gaussian beams is pronounced under relatively stronger turbulence conditions. Source and propagation parameters that affect this reciprocity have been analyzed. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
Attentional Control is Partially Impaired in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
(Wiley, 2013) Tulek, Baykal; Atalay, Nart Bedin; Atalay, Nart Bedin; Kanat, Fikret; Suerdem, Mecit; 102366
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is associated with executive cognitive impairment. An important question is whether impairment in executive functioning in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome is independent of dysfunction in attention. Attentional control is a subcomponent of executive functioning that is mediated by frontal lobe processing. In the current study, we investigated whether attentional control is deficient in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Attentional control processes were investigated through conflict adaptation and conflict frequency paradigms. These neuropsychological paradigms were assessed by using the Simon, Flanker and Stroop tasks. We additionally analysed post-error slowing data within these tasks. Error processing is another index of cognitive control that is mediated by frontal lobe functioning. Our sample consisted of 14 healthy adults and 24 patients with untreated moderate-severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Results indicated that attentional control is partially dysfunctional among patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Attentional control processes were deficient when focal attention (Flanker task) processes were involved, but were intact when observed using the Simon and Stroop tasks. A non-significant trend in post-error slowing data suggested that error processing, assessed with the Flanker task, was diminished among patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. These results support the view that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome leads to some amount of frontal lobe dysfunction, and that attentional control and error processing might be particularly affected by obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Certain Fractional Integral Formulas Involving the Product of Generalized Bessel Functions
(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Baleanu, D.; Baleanu, Dumitru; Agarwal, P.; Purohit, S. D.; 56389
We apply generalized operators of fractional integration involving Appell's function F-3(.) due to Marichev-Saigo-Maeda, to the product of the generalized Bessel function of the first kind due to Baricz. The results are expressed in terms of the multivariable generalized Lauricella functions. Corresponding assertions in terms of Saigo, Erdelyi-Kober, Riemann-Liouville, and Weyl type of fractional integrals are also presented. Some interesting special cases of our two main results are presented. We also point out that the results presented here, being of general character, are easily reducible to yield many diverse new and known integral formulas involving simpler functions.
Chemometric Determination of Naproxen Sodium and Pseudoephedrine Hydrochloride in Tablets by HPLC
(Pharmaceutical Soc Japan, 2006) Dinç, E; Baleanu, Dumitru; Özdemir, A; Aksoy, H; Üstündag, Ö; Baleanu, D; 6981; 26096; 105547
A new chemometric determination by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photodiode array (PDA) detection was implemented for the simultaneous determination of naproxen sodium and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in tablets. Three chemometric calibration techniques, classical least squares (CLS), principle component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) were applied to the peak area at multiwavelength PDA detector responses. The combinations of HPLC with chernometric calibration techniques were called HPLC-CLS, HPLC-PCR and HPLC-PLS. For comparison purposes the HPLC method called the classic HPLC method was used to confirm the results obtained from combined HPLC-chemometric calibration techniques. A good chromatographic separation between two drugs with losartan potassium as an internal standard was achieved using a Waters Symmetry (R) C18 Column 5 mu m 4.6 +/- 250 mm and a mobile phase containing 0.2 m acetate buffer and acetonitrile (v/v, 40 : 60). The multiwavelength PDA detection was measured at five different wavelengths. The chromatograms were recorded as a training set in the mobile phase. Three HPLC-chemometric calibrations and the classic-HPLC method were used to test the synthetic mixtures of naproxen sodium and pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in the presence of the internal standard. The HPLC-chemometric approaches were applied to real samples containing drugs of interest. The experimental results obtained from HPLC-chemometric calibrations were compared with those obtained by a classic HPLC method.
Competitive Analysis for Stochastic Influenza Model With Constant Vaccination Strategy
(inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2019) Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; Raza, Ali; Rafiq, Muhammad; Arif, Muhammad Shoaib; Ali, Muhammad Asghar; 56389
This manuscript discusses a competitive analysis of stochastic influenza model with constant vaccination strategy. The stochastic influenza model is comparatively more pragmatic versus the deterministic influenza model. The effect of influenza generation number holds in the stochastic model. If the value of this number is less than one, this situation will help us to control the disease in a population. A greater than one value of this threshold number shows the persistence of disease to become endemic. The proposed structure for the stochastic influenza model as stochastic non-standard finite difference scheme conserve all vital characteristics like positivity, boundedness and dynamical consistency defined by Mickens.
Competitive Numerical Analysis for Stochastic Hıv/Aıds Epidemic Model in A Two-Sex Population
(inst Engineering Technology-iet, 2019) Raza, Ali; Baleanu, Dumitru; Rafiq, Muhammad; Baleanu, Dumitru; Shoaib Arif, Muhammad; Naveed, Muhammad; Ashraf, Kaleem; 56389
This study is an attempt to explain a reliable numerical analysis of a stochastic HIV/AIDS model in a two-sex population considering counselling and antiretroviral therapy (ART). The authors are comparing the solutions of the stochastic and deterministic HIV/AIDS epidemic model. Here, an endeavour has been made to explain the stochastic HIV/AIDS epidemic model is comparatively more pragmatic in contrast with the deterministic HIV/AIDS epidemic model. The effect of threshold number H* holds on the stochastic HIV/AIDS epidemic model. If H* < 1 then condition helps us to control disease in a two-sex human population while H* > 1 explains the persistence of disease in the two-sex human population. Lamentably, numerical methods such as Euler-Maruyama, stochastic Euler, and stochastic Runge-Kutta do not work for large time step sizes. The recommended structure preserving framework of the stochastic non-standard finite difference (SNSFD) scheme conserve all vital characteristics such as positivity, boundedness, and dynamical consistency defined by Mickens. The effectiveness of counselling and ART may control HIV/AIDS in a two-sex population.
Diffraction by a black half plane: Modified theory of physical optics approach
(Optical Soc Amer, 2005) Umul, YZ; Umul, Yusuf Ziya; 42699
The scattered fields from a black half plane which absorbs all the incoming electromagnetic energy are evaluated by defining a new modified theory of physical optics surface current. This current eliminates the reflected fields, coming from the first stationary point of the reflection integral and only creates a reflected diffracted field. The incident scattered fields are found from the same integral, written for the perfectly conducting half plane. The scattered fields are evaluated by using the stationary phase method and edge point technique. The evaluated fields are plotted numerically. (c) 2005 Optical Society of America.
Entropy-Functional-Based Online Adaptive Decision Fusion Framework With Application to Wildfire Detection in Video
(Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2012) Gunay, Osman; Töreyin, Behçet Uğur; Toreyin, Behcet Ugur; Kose, Kivanc; Cetin, A. Enis; 19325
In this paper, an entropy-functional-based online adaptive decision fusion (EADF) framework is developed for image analysis and computer vision applications. In this framework, it is assumed that the compound algorithm consists of several subalgorithms, each of which yields its own decision as a real number centered around zero, representing the confidence level of that particular subalgorithm. Decision values are linearly combined with weights that are updated online according to an active fusion method based on performing entropic projections onto convex sets describing subalgorithms. It is assumed that there is an oracle, who is usually a human operator, providing feedback to the decision fusion method. A video-based wildfire detection system was developed to evaluate the performance of the decision fusion algorithm. In this case, image data arrive sequentially, and the oracle is the security guard of the forest lookout tower, verifying the decision of the combined algorithm. The simulation results are presented.
Equivalent functions for the Fresnel integral
(Optical Soc Amer, 2005) Umul, YZ; Umul, Yusuf Ziya; 42699
Fresnel integral is modeled with three equivalent functions. The first function is derived by considering the sum of the first term of the Fresnel integral's asymptotic expansion {(F) over cap (x)} and an exponential function which approaches to infinity at the zero of the Fresnel function's argument and has the properties of a unit step function. The second one is the sum of a unit step function and the transition function defined for the simplified uniform theory of diffraction. The third function considers directly eliminating the infinity coming from (F) over cap (x). The amplitude and the phase of Fresnel integral and its equivalent functions are compared numerically. The result is applied to the modified theory of physical optics solution of the diffraction of edge waves from a half plane problem. (c) 2005 Optical Society of America.
Flat topped beams and their characteristics in turbulent media
(Optical Soc Amer, 2006) Eyyuboglu, Halil Tanyer; Arpali, Caglar; Baykal, Yahya Kemal; 7688; 7812
The source and receiver plane characteristics of flat topped ( FT) beam propagating in turbulent atmosphere are investigated. To this end, source size, beam power and M(2) factor of source plane FT beam are derived. For a turbulent propagation medium, via Huygens Fresnel diffraction integral, the receiver plane intensity is found. Power captured within an area on the receiver plane is calculated. Kurtosis parameter and beam size variation along the propagation axis are formulated. Graphical outputs are provided displaying the variations of the derived source and receiver plane parameters against the order of flatness and propagation length. Analogous to free space behavior, when propagating in turbulence, the FT beam first will form a circular ring in the center. As the propagation length increases, the circumference of this ring will become narrower, giving rise to a downward peak emerging from the center of the beam, eventually turning the intensity profile into a pure Gaussian shape.

Fractional-Continuous Wavelet Transforms and Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography for the Multicomponent Analysis of A Ternary Mixture Containing Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Lidocaine in Ampules
(Oxford Univ Press inc, 2012) Dinc, Erdal; Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389
New chemometric approaches based on the application of partial least squares (PLS) and principal component regression (PCR) algorithms with fractional wavelet transform (FWT) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) are proposed for the spectrophotometric multicomponent determination of thiamine hydrochloride (B-1), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B-6), and lidocaine hydrochloride (LID) in ampules without any separation step. In this study PLS and PCR techniques were applied to the raw spectral data, FWT-coefficients, and FWT-CWT-coefficients. These calibration models were labeled as Raw-PLS and Raw-PCR, FWT-PLS and FWT-PCR, and FWT-CWT-PLS and FWT-CWT-PCR, respectively. A new ultra-performance liquid chromatographic (UPLC) method was developed for the comparison of the results obtained by applying the chemometric calibration methods. Chromatographic separation and determination of B-1, B-6, and LID in ampules were performed on an Acquity UPLC (R) BEH C18 column (50 x 2.1 mm id, 1.7 mu m particle size) using gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and 0.01 M HCl at a constant flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. These combined chemometric calibrations and UPLC were validated by analyzing various ternary mixtures, B-1, B-6, and LID. The proposed chemometric approaches (signal processing-multivariate calibrations) and UPLC method were applied to the quantitative multicomponent analysis of marketed ampules containing the vitamins B1 and B-6 with LID.
H(D) -> D(H)+Cu(111) collision system: Molecular dynamics study of surface temperature effects
(Amer inst Physics, 2011) Vurdu, Can D.; Guvenc, Ziya B.
All the channels of the reaction dynamics of gas-phase H (or D) atoms with D (or H) atoms adsorbed onto a Cu(111) surface have been studied by quasiclassical constant energy molecular dynamics simulations. The surface is flexible and is prepared at different temperature values, such as 30 K, 94 K, and 160 K. The adsorbates were distributed randomly on the surface to create 0.18 ML, 0.28 ML, and 0.50 ML of coverages. The multi-layer slab is mimicked by a many-body embedded-atom potential energy function. The slab atoms can move according to the exerted external forces. Treating the slab atoms non-rigid has an important effect on the dynamics of the projectile atom and adsorbates. Significant energy transfer from the projectile atom to the surface lattice atoms takes place especially during the first impact that modifies significantly the details of the dynamics of the collisions. Effects of the different temperatures of the slab are investigated in this study. Interaction between the surface atoms and the adsorbates is modeled by a modified London-Eyring-Polanyi-Sato (LEPS) function. The LEPS parameters are determined by using the total energy values which were calculated by a density functional theory and a generalized gradient approximation for an exchange-correlation energy for many different orientations, and locations of one-and two-hydrogen atoms on the Cu(111) surface. The rms value of the fitting procedure is about 0.16 eV. Many different channels of the processes on the surface have been examined, such as inelastic reflection of the incident hydrogen, subsurface penetration of the incident projectile and adsorbates, sticking of the incident atom on the surface. In addition, hot-atom and Eley-Rideal direct processes are investigated. The hot-atom process is found to be more significant than the Eley-Rideal process. Furthermore, the rate of subsurface penetration is larger than the sticking rate on the surface. In addition, these results are compared and analyzed as a function of the surface temperatures.

Modified theory of physical optics
(Optica Publishing Group, 2004) Umul, YZ; Umul, Yusuf Ziya; 42699
A new procedure for calculating the scattered fields from a perfectly conducting body is introduced. The method is defined by considering three assumptions. The reflection angle is taken as a function of integral variables, a new unit vector, dividing the angle between incident and reflected rays into two equal parts is evaluated and the perfectly conducting (PEC) surface is considered with the aperture part, together. This integral is named as Modified Theory of Physical Optics (MTPO) integral. The method is applied to the reflection and edge diffraction from a perfectly conducting half plane problem. The reflected, reflected diffracted, incident and incident diffracted fields are evaluated by stationary phase method and edge point technique, asymptotically. MTPO integral is compared with the exact solution and PO integral for the problem of scattering from a perfectly conducting half plane, numerically. It is observed that MTPO integral gives the total field that agrees with the exact solution and the result is more reliable than that of classical PO integral. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.

(Optica Publishing Group, 2005) Umul, YZ; Umul, Yusuf Ziya; 42699
The problem of diffraction from a perfectly conducting wedge is examined with the modified theory of physical optics (MTPO). The exact wedge diffraction coefficient is compared with the asymptotic edge waves of MTPO integral and related surface currents are evaluated. The scattered electric fields are expressed by using these current components. The total, incident and reflected diffracted fields are compared with the exact series solution of the wedge problem, numerically. (C) 2005 Optical Society of America.
Optimal control for a fractional tuberculosis infection model including the impact of diabetes and resistant strains
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Sweilam, N. H.; Baleanu, Dumitru; AL-Mekhlafi, S. M.; Baleanu, D.; 56389
The objective of this paper is to study the optimal control problem for the fractional tuberculosis (TB) infection model including the impact of diabetes and resistant strains. The governed model consists of 14 fractional-order (FO) equations. Four control variables are presented to minimize the cost of interventions. The fractional derivative is defined in the Atangana-Baleanu-Caputo (ABC) sense. New numerical schemes for simulating a FO optimal system with Mittag-Leffler kernels are presented. These schemes are based on the fundamental theorem of fractional calculus and Lagrange polynomial interpolation. We introduce a simple modification of the step size in the two-step Lagrange polynomial interpolation to obtain stability in a larger region. Moreover, necessary and sufficient conditions for the control problem are considered. Some numerical simulations are given to validate the theoretical results. (C) 2019 The Authors.

Oral Trail Making Task as a Discriminative Tool for Different Levels of Cognitive Impairment and Normal Aging
(Oxford Univ Press, 2013) Bastug, G.; Ozel-Kizil, E. T.; Sakarya, A.; Altintas, O.; Kirici, S.; Altunoz, U.
The Trail Making Test (TMT) is a useful measure of executive dysfunction in elderly subjects. This study aims to investigate the discriminative validity of the oral version of the TMT (OTMT), which can be administered to subjects with visual or motor disabilities, in elderly patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI; n = 30), Alzheimer's disease (AD; n = 30), and healthy controls (HCs; n = 25). The WAIS-R Digit Span Backwards Subscale, written form of the Trail Making Task, the Clock Drawing Test, the AD Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale, and the OTMT were also administered to all participants in order to examine the concurrent validity of the OTMT. The OTMT part B discriminated between patients with MCI, AD, and HC correctly. The OTMT completion time was not correlated with age, but was negatively correlated with education. In conclusion, the OTMT (mostly part B) is a valid and practical measurement tool for different levels of cognitive impairment, especially for patients with visual or motor disabilities for whom the classical written form is not feasible.
