A 3D virtual environment for training soccer referees
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Güleç, Ulaş; Gulec, Ulas; Yilmaz, Murat; Yılmaz, Murat; Isler, Veysi; O'Connor, Rory V.; Clarke, Paul M.; 47439
Emerging digital technologies are being used in many ways by and in particular virtual environments provide new opportunities to gain experience on real-world phenomena without having to live the actual real-world experiences. In this study, a quantitative research approach supported by expert validation interviews was conducted to determine the availability of virtual environments in the training of soccer referees. The aim is to design a virtual environment for training purposes, representing a real-life soccer stadium to allow the referees to manage matches in an atmosphere similar to the real stadium atmosphere. At this point, the referees have a chance to reduce the number of errors that they make in real life by experiencing difficult decisions that they encounter during the actual match via using the virtual stadium. In addition, the decisions and reactions of the referees during the virtual match were observed with the number of different fans in the virtual stadium to understand whether the virtual stadium created a real stadium atmosphere for the referees. For this evaluation, Presence Questionnaire (PQ) and Immersive Tendencies Questionnaire (ITQ) were applied to the referees to measure their involvement levels. In addition, a semi-structure interview technique was utilized in order to understand participants' opinions about the system. These interviews show that the referees have a positive attitude towards the system since they can experience the events occurred in the match as a first person instead of watching them from camera as a third person. The findings of current study suggest that virtual environments can be used as a training tool to increase the experience levels of the soccer referees since they have an opportunity to decide about the positions without facing the real-world risks.
A linearization-based approach of homotopy analysis method for non-linear time-fractional parabolic PDEs
(Wiley, 2019) Odibat, Zaid; Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389
In this paper, a novel approach, namely, the linearization-based approach of homotopy analysis method, to analytically treat non-linear time-fractional PDEs is proposed. The presented approach suggests a new optimized structure of the homotopy series solution based on a linear approximation of the non-linear problem. A comparative study between the proposed approach and standard homotopy analysis approach is illustrated by solving two examples involving non-linear time-fractional parabolic PDEs. The performed numerical simulations demonstrate that the linearization-based approach reduces the computational complexity and improves the performance of the homotopy analysis method.
A Modification Fractional Homotopy Perturbation Method for Solving Helmholtz and Coupled Helmholtz Equations on Cantor Sets
(Mdpi, 2019) Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; Jassim, Hassan Kamil; 56389
In this paper, we apply a new technique, namely, the local fractional Laplace homotopy perturbation method (LFLHPM), on Helmholtz and coupled Helmholtz equations to obtain analytical approximate solutions. The iteration procedure is based on local fractional derivative operators (LFDOs). This method is a combination of the local fractional Laplace transform (LFLT) and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The method in general is easy to implement and yields good results. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the new technique.
A new fractional exothermic reactions model having constant heat source in porous media with power, exponential and Mittag-Leffler laws
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Kumar, Devendra; Baleanu, Dumitru; Singh, Jagdev; Tanwar, Kumud; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389
The present article deals with the exothermic reactions model having constant heat source in the porous media with strong memory effects. The Caputo, Caputo-Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu fractional operators are used to induce memory effects in the mathematical modeling of exothermic reactions. The patterns of heat flow profiles are very essential for heat transfer in every kind of the thermal insulation. In the present investigation, we focus on the driving force problem due to the fact that temperature gradient is assumed. The mathematical equation of the problem is confined in a fractional energy balance equation (FEBE), which furnishes the temperature portrayal in conduction state having uniform heat source on steady state. The fractional Laplace decomposition technique is utilized to obtain the numerical solution of the corresponding FEBE describing the exothermic reactions. Some numerical results for the fractional exothermic reactions model are presented through graphs and tables. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A new fractional wavelet approach for the simultaneous determination of ampicillin sodium and sulbactam sodium in a binary mixture
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2006) Dinç, E; Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, DB; 6981
A new application of the fractional wavelet transform (FWT) was proposed for the simultaneous determination of ampicillin (AP) and sulbactam (SB) in a pharmaceutical combination for injection. FWT approach is a new powerful tool for removing noise and irrelevant information from the absorption spectra. Cardinal information having higher peak amplitude, eliminated noise, sharp peaks with shrinking width of spectral range was obtained by the application of FWT procedure to the original absorption spectra. In this paper, FWT approach was subjected to the data vector of the UV-signals obtained from AP and SB in the wavelength range of 211.5-313.8 nm. Derivative transform was applied to the original absorption signal together with its FWT generalization. The calibration graphs for AP and SB were obtained by measuring the FWT and usual derivative amplitudes at zero-crossing points. The method validation was carried out by using the synthetic mixture analysis. Our proposed FWT approach was compared with the usual derivative spectrophotometry and chemometric methods (CLS, PCR and PLS) and a good agreement was reported. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

A New Hybrid Algorithm for Continuous Optimization Problem
(Elsevier Science inc, 2018) Farnad, Behnam; Baleanu, Dumitru; Jafarian, Ahmad; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389
This paper applies a new hybrid method by a combination of three population base algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Symbiotic Organisms Search (SOS). The proposed method has been inspired from natural selection process and it completes this process in GA by using the PSO and SOS. It tends to minimize the execution time and in addition to reduce the complexity. Symbiotic organisms search is a robust and powerful metaheuristic algorithm which has attracted increasing attention in recent decades. There are three alternative phases in the proposed algorithm: GA, which develops and selects best population for the next phases, PSO, which gets experiences for each appropriate solution and updates them as well and SOS, which benefits from previous phases and performs symbiotic interaction update phases in the real-world population. The proposed algorithm was tested on the set of best known unimodal and multimodal benchmark functions in various dimensions. It has further been evaluated in, the experiment on the clustering of benchmark datasets. The obtained results from basic and non-parametric statistical tests confirmed that this hybrid method dominates in terms of convergence, execution time, success rate. It optimizes the high dimensional and complex functions Rosenbrock and Griewank up to 10(-330) accuracy in less than 3 s, outperforming other known algorithms. It had also applied clustering datasets with minimum intra-cluster distance and error rate. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
A New Numerical Algorithm For Fractional Fitzhugh-Nagumo Equation Arising in Transmission of Nerve Impulses
(Springer, 2018) Kumar, Devendra; Baleanu, Dumitru; Singh, Jagdev; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389
The principal objective of this study is to present a new numerical scheme based on a combination of q-homotopy analysis approach and Laplace transform approach to examine the Fitzhugh-Nagumo (F-N) equation of fractional order. The F-N equation describes the transmission of nerve impulses. In order to handle the nonlinear terms, the homotopy polynomials are employed. To validate the results derived by employing the used scheme, we study the F-N equation of arbitrary order by using the fractional reduced differential transform scheme. The error analysis of the proposed approach is also discussed. The outcomes are shown through the graphs and tables that elucidate that the used schemes are very fantastic and accurate.

(Shahid Chamran Univ Ahvaz, Iran, 2019) Jassim, Hassan Kamil; Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; 56389
In this study, the local fractional variational iteration method (LFVIM) and the local fractional series expansion method (LFSEM) are utilized to obtain approximate solutions for Korteweg-de Vries equation (KdVE) within local fractional derivative operators (LFDOs). The efficiency of the considered methods is illustrated by some examples. The results reveal that the suggested algorithms are very effective and simple and can be applied for linear and nonlinear problems in mathematical physics.
A novel approach for renovation of current social housing stock based on energy consumption in Turkey: significance of occupant behaviour
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Harputlugil, Guelsu Ulukavak; Harputlugil, Timuçin; Harputlugil, Timucin; Pedergnana, Matthieu; Sarioglu, Esra; 26110; 40295
The goal of this research is to attempt establishing occupant behaviour profiles and how that behaviour impacts energy consumption with regard to indoor comfort levels in the current social housing stock in Turkey. The data consists of a large statistical survey that included four housing complexes situated in different climate regions in Turkey. Another more detailed survey was given to occupants of housing blocks in Ankara. Apartments were also monitored during a one-week period in summer and again in winter. All collected data were evaluated by sensitivity analysis. The results showed that occupant presence at home and operating windows had the most profound effect on internal loads and comfort levels whole year. Additionally, the transparency level of curtains, impacts the indoor temperature during the winter time. The results were used to develop a web-based tool which is going to be a guide for renovation strategies of current housing stock.
A Novel Shuffling Technique Based on Fractional Chaotic Maps
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018) Bai, Yun-Ru; Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; Wu, Guo-Cheng; 56389
An image encryption technique based on the fractional logistic map is designed in this work. A novel shuffling technique is established by use of fractional chaotic signals. Then it is used to scramble pixel positions. The results are analyzed in comparison with the classical logistic map. Since the employed fractional chaotic map holds complicated dynamics behavior, the encryption result is highly secure. Moreover, by experimental and statistical analysis, we demonstrate that the encryption performance is better than the results in literature. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier GmbH.
A Reliable Mixed Method for Singular Integro-Differential Equations of Non-Integer Order
(Edp Sciences S A, 2018) Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; Darzi, Rahmat; Agheli, Ahram; 56389
It is our goal in this article to apply a method which is based on the assumption that combines two methods of conjugating collocation and multiple shooting method. The proposed method can be used to find the numerical solution of singular fractional integro-differential boundary value problems (SFIBVPs) D-upsilon y(t) + eta integral(t)(0) (t - s)(zeta-1) y(s) ds = g(t), 1 < upsilon <= 2, 0 < zeta < 1, eta is an element of R, where D-upsilon denotes the Caputo derivative of order upsilon. Meanwhile, in a separate section the existence and uniqueness of this method is also discussed. Two examples are presented to illustrate the application and further understanding of the methods.
Almost autonomous training of mixtures of principal component analyzers
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2004) Musa, MEM; de Ridder, D; Duin, RPW; Atalay, V
In recent years, a number of mixtures of local PCA models have been proposed. Most of these models require the user to set the number of submodels (local models) in the mixture and the dimensionality of the submodels (i.e., number of PC's) as well. To make the model free of these parameters, we propose a greedy expectation-maximization algorithm to find a suboptimal number of submodels. For a given retained variance ratio, the proposed algorithm estimates for each submodel the dimensionality that retains this given variability ratio. We test the proposed method on two different classification problems: handwritten digit recognition and 2-class ionosphere data classification. The results show that the proposed method has a good performance. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Almost local stability in discrete delayed chaotic systems
(Springer, 2017) Nategh, Mehdi; Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; Taghizadeh, Elham; Gilani, Zahra Goli
This work studies dynamic of delayed discrete chaotic systems with bounded and unbounded delays. The time lags appear in additive which is coupled with a smooth function and nonadditive forms. It has been shown that, in both additive and nonadditive cases, the primal (non-delayed) system is neutral to the bounded delay to possess an attractive fixed point. Nevertheless, if a nonadditive and unbounded delay is supposed to affect a chaotic and measure preserving system locally, then the delay function might be sensitive to initial states. A local stabilization to the dynamics of Logistic and Gaussian maps are made and creation of attractive fixed points is illustrated.
An algorithm for Hopf bifurcation analysis of a delayed reaction-diffusion model
(Springer, 2017) Kayan, S.; Merdan, H.; 49206
We present an algorithm for determining the existence of a Hopf bifurcation of a system of delayed reaction-diffusion equations with the Neumann boundary conditions. The conditions on parameters of the system that a Hopf bifurcation occurs as the delay parameter passes through a critical value are determined. These conditions depend on the coefficients of the characteristic equation corresponding to linearization of the system. Furthermore, an algorithm to obtain the formulas for determining the direction of the Hopf bifurcation, the stability, and period of the periodic solution is given by using the Poincare normal form and the center manifold theorem. Finally, we give several examples and some numerical simulations to show the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed.
An analytical solution for the plane wave diffraction by a resistive half-plane residing at the interface of left and right handed media
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2019) Basdemir, Husnu Deniz; Başdemir, Hüsnü Deniz; 20399
The diffraction of waves by a resistive half-plane lying on the interface of left and right handed media is investigated in this study. Because of the anomalous refraction property of left handed media, shadow boundary shifts toward to the lower surface of the half-plane. In order to obtain the shifted boundary, diffracted waves are divided to subfields. Thus, obtained diffracted waves compensates the deficiency of geometries optics fields at the transition regions. The uniform version of waves is obtained by using the uniform theory of diffraction. The wave behaviors are examined numerically.
An application of derivative and continuous wavelet transforms to the overlapping ratio spectra for the quantitative multiresolution of a ternary mixture of paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in tablets
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2005) Dinç, E; Baleanu, Dumitru; Özdemir, A; Baleanu, D; 56389
Quantitative multi resolution of tablets and ternary mixtures of paracetamol (PAR), acetylsalicylic acid (ASP) and caffeine (CAF) having strongly overlapping spectra was accomplished by two graphical transform methods as ratio spectra first derivative-zero crossing and ratio spectra-continuous wavelet transform-zero crossing (ratio spectra CWT-zero crossing) methods. In this study, ratio spectra derivative-zero crossing and ratio spectra CWT-zero crossing methods are based on the use of transformed signals of the ratio spectra and their calibration graphs were obtained by measuring the dA/dlambda and CWT amplitudes of the ratio spectra corresponding to zero crossing points. For the comparison purpose. PLS calibration method was applied to predict the content of the same mixtures containing the subject active Compounds. The obtained calibrations were tested by using the synthetic mixtures and standard addition technique and they applied to the simultaneous determination of PAR, ASP and CAF in commercial pharmaceutical preparation. The obtained results were statistically compared with each other as well as those obtained by HPLC method and they showed good agreement. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.
An examination of personality traits and how they impact on software development teams
(Elsevier, 2017) Yilmaz, Murat; Yılmaz, Murat; O'Connor, Rory V.; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; Clarke, Paul; 55248
Context Research has shown that a significant number of software projects fail due to social issues such as team or personality conflicts. However, only a limited number of empirical studies have been undertaken to understand the impact of individuals' personalities on software team configurations. These studies suffer from an important limitation as they lack a systematic and rigorous method to relate personality traits of software practitioners and software team structures. Objective: Based on an interactive personality profiling approach, the goal of this study is to reveal the personality traits of software practitioners with an aim to explore effective software team structures. Method: To explore the importance of individuals' personalities on software teams, we employed a two-step empirical approach. Firstly, to assess the personality traits of software practitioners, we developed a context-specific survey instrument, which was conducted on 216 participants from a middle-sized soft ware company. Secondly, we propose a novel team personality illustration method to visualize team structures. Results: Study results indicated that effective team structures support teams with higher emotional stability, agreeableness, extroversion, and conscientiousness personality traits. Conclusion: Furthermore, empirical results of the current study show that extroversion trait was more predominant than previously suggested in the literature, which was especially more observable among agile software development teams.

An implicit decoupling for the dilatons and the axions of the heterotic string
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2007) Yilmaz, Nejat T.
A set of consistency conditions is derived for the massless sector of the D-dimensional E-8 x E-8 heterotic string. Under the solvable Lie algebra gauge these conditions are further formulated explicitly in terms of the dilatons and the axions. It is then shown that these consistency conditions which are satisfied by the solution space give way to an implicit decoupling between the coset scalar sector namely the dilatons and the axions and the gauge fields of the theory.

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.
