Article Citation Count: Gulec, Ulas...et al., "A 3D virtual environment for training soccer referees", Computer Standards & Interfaces, Vol. 64, pp. 1-10, (2019).A 3D virtual environment for training soccer referees(Elsevier Science BV, 2019) Güleç, Ulaş; Yılmaz, Murat; İşler, Veysi; O'Connor, Rory V.; Clarke, Paul; 47439Emerging 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.Article Citation Count: Satı, Benhür; Yolcu, Vahdi E, (2023). "A Bi-Objective Integrated Mathematical Model For Blood Supply Chain: Case Of Turkish Red Crescent", Journal Of Industrial And Management Optimization, Vol. 19, No. 5, pp. 3383-3418.A Bi-Objective Integrated Mathematical Model For Blood Supply Chain: Case Of Turkish Red Crescent(2023) Satır, Benhür; Yolcu, Vahdi; 54700Various criteria feature in blood supply chain (BSC) designs, where cost-based and time-based are the most commonly found in the literature. In the current study, total annual cost is used together with a new time-based objective. The total time spent in the transportation of blood products is considered as time lost, and weight is given to that time according to the product amount and then normalized with respect to shelf life. In using cost and time objectives, we developed a bi-objective mixed-integer mathematical programming model for the BSC of Turkish Red Crescent (TRC, the singular authority controlling BSC throughout Turkey), including collection, production, and distribution echelons, and also considering bag-type decisions for whole-blood collection. The objective of the study was to propose a BSC design model and solution approach. With all real-life TRC instances resolved optimally, a linear programming relaxation-based heuristic was developed for large-scale problem sizes. Real-life data were obtained from the TRC and the remainder from open-to-public sources. The study's main finding is that cost and time objectives alone produce significantly different designs, whilst using them together to form efficient-frontier solutions for decision-makers adds practical value.Article Citation Count: Kurt, Atil; Cetinkaya, Ferda Can; Azizoglu, Meral, "A blood distribution problem with new transportation options - an application for the Turkish Red Crescent", European Journal of Industrial Engineering, Vol. 13, No. 3, pp. 332-367, (2019).A blood distribution problem with new transportation options - an application for the Turkish Red Crescent(Inderscience Enterprises LTD, 2019) Kurt, Atıl; Çetinkaya, Ferda Can; Azizoğlu, Meral; 50129This paper considers the blood distribution problem in the Central Anatolian Regional Blood Centre of the Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) and proposes several demand satisfaction options considering the irradiation centres, urgent demands, and product availability. Our aim is to maximise the total weighted blood demand satisfaction. To address the problem, we develop a mixed integer linear programming model and propose a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA). The results of our experiments have revealed that the mathematical model cannot handle even small sized problem instances in reasonable times; however, the hybrid genetic algorithm is capable of handling complex daily operations of the Turkish Red Crescent.Article Citation Count: Karasakal, O., Kandiller, L., Özdemirel, N.E.

Naval Research Logistics, 58(7), 655-669. http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/nav.20474A branch and bound algorithm for sector allocation of a naval task group(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011) Karasakal, Orhan; Kandiller, Levent; Özdemirel, Nur Evin; 5706; 2634A naval task group (TG) is a collection of naval combatants and auxiliaries that are grouped together for the accomplishment of one or more missions. Ships forming a TG are located in predefined sectors. We define determination of ship sector locations to provide a robust air defense formation as the sector allocation problem (SAP). A robust formation is one that is very effective against a variety of attack scenarios but not necessarily the most effective against any scenario. We propose a 0-1 integer linear programming formulation for SAP. The model takes the size and the direction of threat into account as well as the defensive weapons of the naval TG. We develop tight lower and upper bounds by incorporating some valid inequalities and use a branch and bound algorithm to exactly solve SAP. We report computational results that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution approachArticle Citation Count: Çelik, Gence Genç; Çelik, O. (2019). "A Case Study of Structural Failure of Mounting Systems for Solar Panels from South-Eastern Turkey: An Investigation of Design Parameters under Extreme Weather Events", International Journal of Engineering Science Invention (IJESI), Vol. 8, No. 1, pp. 16-23.A Case Study of Structural Failure of Mounting Systems for Solar Panels from South-Eastern Turkey: An Investigation of Design Parameters under Extreme Weather Events(2019) Çelik, Gence Genç; Çelik, O.; 101566One of the biggest demand of growing population, and cornerstone of the socio-economical growth of Nations, Energy is expected today to be Sustainable, Easy to Reach, Economical, and Continuous.

"A combined spatial and frequency based texture model for organsegmentation in computed tomography examinations" Journal Of Medical Imaging And Health Informatics, Vol.4, No.2, pp.230-236.A combined spatial and frequency based texture model for organsegmentation in computed tomography examinations(Amer Scientific Publishers, 2014) Jafari, Aref; Hassanpour, Reza; Shahbahrami, Asadollah; Wong, StephanThe organ segmentation in computed tomography (CT) examination is a tedious and error prone task. The local similarity of the pixels from different organs, and the differences between the pixels of the same organ observed in different examinations are two most challenging problems affecting the segmentation process. In this study, statistical and spectral texture properties are combined with the a-priori knowledge about the human body to develop a model for reliably segmenting organs in CT examinations. The main goal of the developed model is fusing local and global statistics to support spatial-frequency analysis and to maximize the simultaneous localization of energy in both spatial and frequency domains. The feature space dimension is reduced by means of a wrapper technique applied as a pre-processing filter. The proposed classifier utilizes a linear combination (ensemble) of two support vector machines (SVM) where the first SVM classifies the input samples according to their textural information and the second one correct the results of the first classifier by searching the spatial information of those samples in a statistical atlas.Article Citation Count: Al-Mihrab, Mohammed A.; Salim, Ali J.; Ali, Jawad K.

Journal Of Materıals Engineering And Performance, Vol. 32, No. 13, pp. 5946-5955.A Comparative Study of Effects of Additive Particle Size and Content on Wetting Behavior and Brazing Performance of C/SiC Composite(2023) Saltık, Simge; Esen, Ziya; Dericioğlu, Arcan F.; 52373This study has focused on the influence of size and content of SiC particle incorporation on the wetting behavior of the Ticusil brazing filler alloy and on its brazing performance in C/SiC composite/Ti6Al4V alloy joints. The effect of the size and content of additive SiC particles on the variation of molten brazing filler alloy contact angle was recorded at various brazing time and temperatures. Moreover, the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the additive containing C/SiC composite/Ti6Al4V alloy joints produced by the brazing method were investigated. The contact angles in both brazing filler alloys containing nano- and micro-sized SiC particles exhibited a sudden decrease with time during isothermal holding as observed in as-received brazing filler alloys. As the quantity of the SiC particles increased in the brazing alloy, the recorded contact angle values including the final, stable contact angle increased, while the time for the drastic contact angle change also increased remarkably. Compared to as-received counterparts, the addition of 2 wt.% nano-sized SiC and 1 wt.% micro-sized SiC particles improved the shear strength of the joints by 35 and 8%, respectively. Although the recorded contact angle values were close to each other in brazing alloys containing SiC particles with different sizes (37 and 42 degrees for 1 wt.% micro-sized and 2 wt.% nano-sized additions), higher increment was achieved in the mechanical performance of the joints with nano-sized SiC additive due to more homogeneous reinforcement effect of the nanoparticles. The results indicated that the optimum brazing filler alloy contact angle for the highest shear strength is similar to 40 degrees for both nano- and micron-sized additive containing Ticusil filler alloy.Article Citation Count: Koçak, Eyüp; Aylı, Ece; Türkoğlu, Haşmet (2022). "A Comparative Study of Multiple Regression and Machine Learning Techniques for Prediction of Nanofluid Heat Transfer", JOURNAL OF THERMAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS, Vol. 14, No. 6.A Comparative Study of Multiple Regression and Machine Learning Techniques for Prediction of Nanofluid Heat Transfer(2022) Koçak, Eyüp; Aylı, Ece; Türkoğlu, Haşmet; 283455; 265836; 12941The aim of this article is to introduce and discuss prediction power of the multiple regression technique, artificial neural network (ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) methods for predicting the forced convection heat transfer characteristics of a turbulent nanofluid flow in a pipe. Water and Al2O3 mixture is used as the nanofluid. Utilizing fluent software, numerical computations were performed with volume fraction ranging between 0.3% and 5%, particle diameter ranging between 20 and 140 nm, and Reynolds number ranging between 7000 and 21,000. Based on the computationally obtained results, a correlation is developed for the Nusselt number using the multiple regression method. Also, based on the computational fluid dynamics results, different ANN architectures with different number of neurons in the hidden layers and several training algorithms (Levenberg-Marquardt, Bayesian regularization, scaled conjugate gradient) are tested to find the best ANN architecture. In addition, ANFIS is also used to predict the Nusselt number. In the ANFIS, number of clusters, exponential factor, and membership function (MF) type are optimized. The results obtained from multiple regression correlation, ANN, and ANFIS were compared. According to the obtained results, ANFIS is a powerful tool with a R-2 of 0.9987 for predictions.Article Citation Count: Alsaka, Dina Yaqoob; Arpali, Çağlar; Arpali, Serap A. (2018). "A comparison of iterative Fourier transform algorithms for image quality estimation", Optical Review, Vol.25, No.5, pp.625-637.A comparison of iterative Fourier transform algorithms for image quality estimation(2018) Alsaka, Dina Yaqoob; Arpali, Çağlar; Arpali, Serap Altay; 20809A comparison was established between two iterative Fourier transform algorithms (IFTAs), such as the original Gerchberg–Saxton (GS) and the mixed-region amplitude freedom (MRAF) algorithms, for the hologram reconstruction of different target images through the full reference image quality estimation (IQE) and pixel homogeneity in the Fourier plane presented theoretically and experimentally. The comparison was applied depending upon both algorithms based on a computer-generated hologram (CGH) implemented utilizing a reflective phase-modulated liquid-crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) to obtain the digital kinoform holograms of the desired intensity distributions. These digital holograms were applied to reconstruct the intensity patterns for 852 nm, which represents a laser beam source. The theoretical and experimental results of the reconstructed patterns obtained using the MRAF algorithm were found to be smoother and better than the patterns obtained using the GS algorithm. Unmodulated light beam (dc term) is removed from the reconstructed patterns attributed to digital kinoform holograms of MRAF algorithm as an alternative to the theoretical and experimental results without using any additional optic equipment at the light path. Moreover, this paper discussed the full reference objective quality estimations, such as mean square error (MSE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural content (SC), normalized absolute error (NAE), normalized cross correlation (NK), and homogeneity of pixels, through the contrast (Cont) and inverse difference moment (IDM) for numerical and experimental results. According to the two desired intensity distributions processed theoretically and experimentally, the results of MRAF algorithm were found to be in the highly accurate recovered phase, the quality of image was enhanced, and the dc term was decreased.
