Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 43A 3d Virtual Environment for Training Soccer Referees(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019) Isler, Veysi; O'Connor, Rory V.; Clarke, Paul M.; Gulec, Ulas; Yilmaz, Murat; 47439; 06.01. Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; 06.09. Yazılım Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiEmerging 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 - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 17Abstraction-Based Verification of Codiagnosability for Discrete Event Systems(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2010) Schmidt, K.; 06.08. Mekatronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiIn this paper, we investigate the verification of codiagnosability for discrete event systems (DES). That is, it is desired to ascertain if the occurrence of system faults can be detected based on the information of multiple local sites that partially observe the overall DES. As an improvement of existing codiagnosability tests that resort to the original DES with a potentially computationally infeasible state space, we propose a method that employs an abstracted system model on a smaller state space for the codiagnosability verification. Furthermore, we show that this abstraction can be computed without explicitly evaluating the state space of the original model in the practical case where the DES is composed of multiple subsystems.

Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThis research aims to investigate underlying factors that play role in citizens' decision to use e-government services in Turkey. UTAUT model which was enriched by introducing Trust of internet and Trust of government factors is used in the study. The model is evaluated through a survey conducted with Turkish citizens who are from different regions of the country. A total of 529 answers collected through purposive sampling and the responses were evaluated with the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) technique. According to the results, Performance expectancy, Social influence, Facilitating conditions and Trust of Internet were found to have a positive effect on behavioral intention to use e-government services. Additionally, both Trust factors were found to have a positive influence on Performance expectancy of e-government services, a relation which, to our best knowledge, hasn't been tested before in e-government context. Effect of Effort expectancy and Trust of government were found insignificant on behavioral intention. We believe that the findings of this study will guide professionals and policy makers in improving and popularizing e-government services by revealing the citizen's priorities regarding e-government services in Turkey.

N.; Frear, C.; Chen, S.; 45685; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 06.04. Endüstri MühendisliğiPoor ammonia-nitrogen removal in methanogenic anaerobic reactors digesting animal manure has been reported as an important disadvantage of anaerobic digestion (AD) in several studies. Development of anaerobic processes that are capable of producing reduced ammonia-nitrogen levels in their effluent is one of the areas where further research must be pursued if AD technology is to be made more effective and economically advantageous. One approach to removing ammonia from anaerobically digested effluents is the forced precipitation of magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate (MgNH4PO4-6H(2)O), commonly called struvite. Struvite is a valuable plant nutrient source for nitrogen and phosphorus since it releases them slowly and has non-burning features because of its low solubility in water. This study investigated coupling AD and controlled struvite precipitation in the same reactor to minimize the nitrogen removal costs and possibly increase the performance of the AD by reducing the ammonia concentration which has an adverse effect oil anaerobic bacteria. The results indicated that Lip to 19% extra COD and almost 11% extra NH3 removals were achieved relative to a control by adding 1750 mg/L of MgCl2-6H(2)O to the anaerobic reactor.

Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe hesitant fuzzy set is a mathematical tool to express multiple values in decision making. If they could not give a resolution, it is important to give priority and importance to a number of different values. Here, we propose normal wiggly dual hesitant fuzzy set (NWDHFS), as an extension of normal wiggly hesitant fuzzy set. We define a new score function of normal wiggly dual hesitant fuzzy information. The NWDHFS can express deep ideas of membership and non-membership information. In this work, we use hesitant fuzzy set to expose the deepest ideas hidden in the thought-level of the decision makers. We show that the NWDHFS can handle the hesitant fuzzy information. It expresses the deeper ideas of hesitant fuzzy set. An illustration is provided to demonstrate the practicality and effectiveness to the application of site selection of the underground storage of hydrogen. We are compelled to look for alternating fuels to suits changing weather conditions and increasing number of vehicles. This alternative fuel is necessary to control global warming and to be economically viable. Based on this, hydrogen gas is selected as a good alternative fuel. The most important statement is the saving of the selected hydrogen gas. Thus, when saving hydrogen fuel, a safe storage space must be selected. Here, we use the MCDM ideas by use of proposed NWDHFV method is to select the appropriate hydrogen underground storage location. (C) 2019 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Elektronik ve Haberleşme Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe paraxial wave equation is a reduced form of the Helmholtz equation. Its solutions can be directly obtained from the solutions of the Helmholtz equation by using the method of complex point source. We applied the same logic to quantum mechanics, because the Schrodinger equation is parabolic in nature as the paraxial wave equation. We defined a differential equation, which is analogous to the Helmholtz equation for quantum mechanics and derived the solutions of the Schrodinger equation by taking into account the solutions of this equation with the method of complex point source. The method is applied to the problem of diffraction of matter waves by a shutter. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Endüstri Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiAn approximation is proposed to evaluate the steady-state performance of kanban controlled two-stage assembly systems. The development of the approximation is as follows. The considered continuous-time Markov chain is aggregated keeping the model exact, and this aggregate model is approximated replacing some state-dependent transition rates with constant rates. The approximate aggregate model is, then, decomposed into submodels and a product-form steady-state distribution is obtained for each submodel. Finally, the submodels are combined in such a way that the size of the problem becomes independent of the number of kanbans. This leads to the computational advantage in solving the combined model using numerical matrix-geometric solution algorithms. Numerical comparisons of the combined model with simulation, exact model, approximate aggregate model and an approximation in the literature show that the proposed approximation performs well in terms of accuracy and computational burden.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 7Assessment of Improvement of the Iri Model for Fof2 Variability Over Three Latitudes in Different Hemispheres During Low and High Solar Activities(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Timocin, Erdinc; Temucin, Huseyin; Inyurt, Samed; Shah, Munawar; Jamjareegulgarn, Punyawi; 182651; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThis paper discusses the diurnal and seasonal variations of the F2 layer critical frequency (foF2) and the improvement of performance of the IRI-2016 model in predicting foF2 over three latitudes in different hemispheres during low and high solar activities. We extracted the foF2 data from six ionosonde stations which are Manila (14.7 degrees N, 121.1 degrees E), Yamagawa (31.2 degrees N, 130.6 degrees E), Yakutsk (62.0 degrees N,129.6 degrees E), Townsville (19.6 degrees S, 146.8 degrees E), Hobart (42.9 degrees S, 147.3 degrees E) and Terre Adelie (66.6 degrees S, 140.0 degrees E). The data of both low solar activity (LSA) period and high solar activity (HSA) periods were divided into three seasons as Northern Summer (May, June, July and August), Equinoxes (March, April, September and October) and Northern Winter (November, December, January and February). The present study showed that the IRI-2016 performance is strongly dependent on the solar activity, latitude, season, local time and hemisphere. For both hemispheres, the foF2 values at low latitude station are larger than those at middle latitude station, whereas the foF2 values at middle latitude station are larger than those at high latitude station. The agreement between IRI2016-modelled foF2 and foF2 measurements on all stations selected in the northern hemisphere is best for North Summer and worst for North Winter. For northern hemisphere, the values of relative deviations during both solar activities are largest in high latitudes and smallest in middle latitudes. As for southern hemisphere, the values of relative deviations during LSA are largest in middle latitudes and smallest in high latitudes, whereas the values of relative deviations during HSA are largest in low latitudes and smallest in high latitudes. It is thought that the relative deviations in the observed foF2 values are caused by solar activity that strongly alter chemical and electromagnetic processes in the ionosphere. These results are important for future improvements depending on solar activity and seasons in the IRI model for foF2 values over three latitudes in different hemispheres.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 15Assessment of the Effectiveness and the Initial Cost Efficiency of Hot Recycled Asphalt Using Polymer Modified Bitumen(Elsevier, 2023) Almusawi, Ali; Shoman, Sarmad; Lupanov, Andrei P.; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThe drastic increase in environmental concerns and increasing costs of road construction materials necessitate evaluating some alternative solutions. One of the most suitable alternatives is recycling old asphalt pavement to produce reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The RAP materials have been commonly combined with asphalt mixtures during pavement construction. Incorporating RAP material should demonstrate an equivalent or better performance than conventional asphalt mixtures. Conversely, the inclusion of RAP mainly needs to improve performance compared to conventional asphalt mixtures. The key issue of using RAP is to restore the loss properties of aged materials and normally asphalt Agent Rejuvenator (ARA) was used. Also, adding polymers with RAP into the asphalt mixture becomes necessary to obtain the required performance. This study investigated the RAP effects of elastomeric polymer on the performance of the asphalt mixture following Russian standards (GOST). The impact of using PMB with RAP material on the asphalt mixture's performance was primarily considered by employing tests that can reveal the adhesion property. Additionally, the performance of the pavement was evaluated in terms of strength and low-temperature cracking. For this purpose, numerous test methods were implemented to appraise the asphalt performance, such as compressive strength, moisture susceptibility, shear resistance, tensile strength, porosity of the mineral particles, and residual porosity. The results indicated that the overall performance of the asphalt mixtures prepared with RAP and combined with polymer depicted a better performance. Moreover, the initial construction cost for each asphalt composition was estimated and compared. The utilization of PMB increased the cost of the asphalt mixture. However, such an increase in the cost would lead to an increase in the overall performance, especially for RAP mixtures.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 49Automated Classification of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and Normal Hand Radiographs With Deep Learning Methods(Springer, 2022) Maras, Hadi Hakan; Ureten, Kemal; 34410; 06.01. Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiRheumatoid arthritis and hand osteoarthritis are two different arthritis that causes pain, function limitation, and permanent joint damage in the hands. Plain hand radiographs are the most commonly used imaging methods for the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and monitoring of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. In this retrospective study, the You Only Look Once (YOLO) algorithm was used to obtain hand images from original radiographs without data loss, and classification was made by applying transfer learning with a pre-trained VGG-16 network. The data augmentation method was applied during training. The results of the study were evaluated with performance metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision calculated from the confusion matrix, and AUC (area under the ROC curve) calculated from ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve. In the classification of rheumatoid arthritis and normal hand radiographs, 90.7%, 92.6%, 88.7%, 89.3%, and 0.97 accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and AUC results, respectively, and in the classification of osteoarthritis and normal hand radiographs, 90.8%, 91.4%, 90.2%, 91.4%, and 0.96 accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and AUC results were obtained, respectively. In the classification of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and normal hand radiographs, an 80.6% accuracy result was obtained. In this study, to develop an end-to-end computerized method, the YOLOv4 algorithm was used for object detection, and a pre-trained VGG-16 network was used for the classification of hand radiographs. This computer-aided diagnosis method can assist clinicians in interpreting hand radiographs, especially in rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.Article Citation - WoS: 81Citation - Scopus: 106Availibility of Renewable Energy Sources in Turkey: Current Situation, Potential, Government Policies and the Eu Perspective(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2012) Kucukali, Serhat; Baris, Kemal; 20413; 06.05. İnşaat Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiThis study aims to explore the availability and potential of renewable energy sources in Turkey as well as assessing related government policies, financial and environmental aspects of renewable energy projects. Turkey is a country which has the highest hydropower, wind and geothermal energy potential among European countries. As a European Union (EU) candidate several incentives were developed in Turkey for electricity generation from renewable energy sources by the enactment of Law No. 5346 in 2005 which was later restructured by Law No. 6094 in 2010. The most important ones are: ease of land acquisition and feed-in-tariffs which promise purchasing of electricity generated and domestic manufacturing of equipment by the private companies with a price of 5.30-9.69 and 0.3-2.55 (sic)c/kWh, respectively, depending on the type of the renewable and the equipment. However, feed-in tariff amounts take reservoir area into account instead of installed capacity for hydroelectric power plants. Moreover, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report is not mandatory for all renewable energy plants. According to the multi-criteria analysis tool developed in this study to evaluate the renewable energy source (RES) technologies the most appropriate renewable energy alternative for Turkey is biomass, simply because of the highest social benefit among others.

T.; Baykal, Y.; 7688; 7812; 06.02. Elektronik ve Haberleşme Mühendisliği; 06.03. Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiAnalytical expressions for the average intensity, mean-squared beam width and angular spread of partially coherent standard and elegant Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams propagating in turbulent atmosphere are derived. The properties of the average intensity, spreading and directionality of partially coherent standard and elegant LG beams in turbulent atmosphere are studied numerically and comparatively. It is found that the beam parameters and structure constant of turbulence together determine the properties of the beams in turbulent atmosphere. Partially coherent standard and elegant LG beams with smaller coherence length, larger beam orders and longer wavelength are less affected by the turbulence. A partially coherent elegant LG beam is less affected by turbulence than a partially coherent standard LG beam under the same condition. Furthermore, it is found that there exist equivalent partially coherent standard and elegant LG beams, equivalent fully coherent standard and elegant LG beams, equivalent Gaussian Schell-model beams that may have the same directionality as a fully coherent Gaussian beam both in free space and in turbulent atmosphere. Our results will be useful in long distance free-space optical communications.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Averaging of Receiver Aperture for Flat-Topped Incidence(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2013) Kamacioglu, Canan; Baykal, Yahya; Yazgan, Erdem; 7812; 06.03. Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiUsing a flat-topped profile for the incident beam, the power scintillation index for weak atmospheric turbulence is formulated and analytically evaluated. Through the use of the aperture averaging factor, the averaging effect of the finite receiver aperture on the intensity fluctuations for a flat-topped incident beam is examined. The influence of the order of flatness on the averaging is investigated. At large propagation lengths, increasing the flatness parameter decreases the power scintillations and it is possible to further reduce the scintillation by increasing the receiver aperture. Increasing the structure constant increases this effect. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Endüstri Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiIn this paper, we develop a new bi-objective model for dynamic weapon-target assignment problem. We consider that the initial weapon assignment plan of defense is disrupted during engagement because of a destroyed air target, breakdown of a weapon system or a new incoming air target. The objective functions are defined as the maximization of probability of no-leaker and the maximization of stability in engagement order of weapon systems. Stability is defined as assigning same air target in sequence in engagement order of a weapon system so that reacquisition and re-tracking of air target are not required by sensors. We propose a new solution procedure to generate updated assignment plans by maximizing efficiency of defense while maximizing stability through swapping weapon engagement orders. The proposed solution procedure generates non-dominated solutions from which defense can quickly choose the most-favored course of action. We solve a set of representative problems with different sizes and present computational results to evaluate effectiveness of the proposed approach.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Boundary Diffraction Wave Theory of Junctions Between Two Surfaces With Different Face Impedances(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2012) Umul, Yusuf Ziya; 42699; 06.02.

Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği; 06. Mühendislik Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiIn this paper, the effects of atmospheric turbulence, initial field amplitude, optical system and thermal blooming on the centroid position of laser beams propagating through the atmosphere are studied in detail. With the average over the ensemble of the turbulent medium, the centroid position is independent of turbulence. However, the centroid position depends on the centroid positions at the source plane and in the far-field, and the elements of ray-transfer-matrix. The physical reason why the centroid position changes on propagation is that the far-field centroid position is not located on the propagation z-axis due to the field phase distortion and the decentred intensity. The centroid position of laser beams with the spherical aberration and the decentred intensity is examined analytically. When laser beams with the decentred intensity propagate through the atmosphere, the effect of thermal blooming on the centroid position is investigated by using the four-dimensional (4D) computer code of the time-dependent propagation of high power laser beams through the atmosphere.

Ortak Dersler Bölümü; 09. Rektörlük; 01. Çankaya ÜniversitesiTi-6Al-4V foams, biomedical candidate materials, were synthesized by powder metallurgical space holder technique as a result of evaporation of magnesium to achieve desired porosity content. Final products contained porosities in the range similar to 43-64% with an average macropore size between 485 and 572 mu m and a lamellar type Widmanstatten microstructure composed of alpha-platelets and beta-laths. Unlike the case of bulk Ti-6Al-4V alloy tested under compression loading, compression stress-strain curves of manufactured Ti-6Al-4V foams were similar to those of elastic-plastic foams, which contain a linear elastic region; a plateau stage: and a densification stage. In the plateau region deformation bands perpendicular to the compression axis were developed and cell collapsing took place together with the buckling and fracture of some of the cell walls and edges in a ductile manner. Calculated elastic modulus and yield strength were in the range 1.42-14.7 GPa and 28.2-150 MPa, respectively, and the foam mechanical properties were found to be dependent on micro porous cell wall properties, which in turn depends on neck size between powder particles. Around 330 MPa yield strength value was calculated for porous cell walls by the use of Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder samples sintered in loose and compacted conditions, which were utilized to simulate the cell wall structure of foams. In addition, overall mechanical properties of foam s were investigated considering macro porosity fraction, p(macro), and the yield strength of foams exhibited a power law dependence, similar to commonly used minimum solid area models, in the form of A*(1 - p(marco))(n), where the proportionality constant "A" was found to be the yield strength of micro porous cell walls.

Çankaya ÜniversitesiThis study analytically examines internally pressurized power-law functionally graded variable thickness disk. The power-law consideration is applied to the Young's modulus and the Poisson's ratio of the graded material as well as the radial thickness profile variation of the disk. Under this scheme, the solution yields to different Bessel functions including the first, second, and modified types. Stress and displacement fields are investigated at the elastic limits by operating with these functions. The limits are calculated with the well-known von Mises criteria. Following the analytical modeling, numerical examples are built. Therein the examples, some noteworthy nuances have been achieved. It has been observed that unlike the usual prediction in the literature, constant Poisson's ratio, the effect of variable Poisson's ratio on stresses and displacements is still evident, although not as much as variable Young's modulus and disk geometry. We suggest assigning it as a variable in similar applications to be more precise. Additionally, according to the von Mises criterion, yielding may begin at the inner radius, the outer radius, or both at the same time. Parameters in the simultaneous flow initiation state are critical. These parameters allow the disk to reach the highest elastic limit pressure.
