Article Effects of Receiver Diversity on Bit Error Rate of Underwater Optical Wireless Communication Systems in Weak Oceanic Turbulence(Springer, 2025) Gokce, Muhsin Caner; Baykal, Yahya; Ata, YalcinThe receiver spatial diversity techniques are employed in underwater optical wireless communication (OWC) systems to mitigate oceanic turbulence, improving the bit error rate performance. In this paper, we consider an OWC system employing a binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulated Gaussian beam at the transmitter and employing receiver spatial diversity at the receiver. The techniques for receiver spatial diversity systems considered in the study are selection combining (SC), equal gain combining (EGC), and the maximum ratio combining (MRC). The bit error rate (BER) performance of the OWC system operating in weak oceanic turbulence is investigated by calculating the Gaussian beam's turbulence-induced scintillation index and the received optical intensity. It is found that the receiver spatial diversity techniques, especially EGC and MRC, are very effective for reducing the BER of an OWC system in weak oceanic turbulence. Furthermore, the BER performance of the underwater OWC system sees an improvement with an increase in the number of photodetectors or a decrease in the level of oceanic turbulence. Moreover, an improvement in the photodetector responsivity or a reduction in the system's noise factor contributes to achieving a favorable BER performance.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Interfacial Behavior and Diffusion Mechanisms of Bni-2 Brazing on Titanium Alloy: Experimental and Molecular Dynamics Insights(Springer, 2025) Goynuk, Tansu; Esen, Ziya; Karakaya, IshakContextJoining titanium alloys, particularly Ti-6Al-4V, is crucial in aerospace applications where reliable, high-performance joints are needed. Brazing offers an effective solution, enabling the joining of dissimilar materials without melting the base metals. However, optimizing the wetting and diffusion behavior of filler metals remains a challenge. This study investigates the high-temperature interaction between BNi-2 filler alloy and Ti-6Al-4V. Boron, the primary melting point depressant in BNi-2, was examined due to its small atomic size and interstitial diffusion mechanism. Elevated temperatures led to improved wetting, reflected by decreased contact angles. Both wetting angles and boron diffusion coefficients were obtained through molecular dynamics simulations and experimental measurements, showing reasonable correlation. These results provide valuable insight into interfacial mechanisms and support further optimization of brazing parameters.MethodsMolecular dynamics simulations were performed using LAMMPS to analyze the temperature-dependent wetting behavior of molten BNi-2 on Ti-6Al-4V and track atomic-scale diffusion. Initial atomic configurations were modeled and simulated under various conditions. Trajectory data were analyzed using OVITO for structural evolution. Boron diffusion was evaluated by calculating mean square displacement from LAMMPS outputs. These values were used to derive diffusion coefficients and activation energies. Parallel experiments were conducted to assess wetting angles and diffusion behavior, and simulation results were compared with experimental data. The consistency between both approaches highlights the reliability of the modeling framework in capturing essential mechanisms during the brazing process.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Prediction of the Profile of a Vertical Air-Entraining Vortex(Springer, 2025) Al-Hakeem, Yasameen Mansoor A.; Tastan, Kerem; Yildirim, NevzatAir-core vortices occurring at intakes cause efficiency losses, vibrations, operational difficulties, and erosion at affiliated water-conveying structures. Air-core vortices are in the forms of non-air entraining vortex (air-core vortex in suspension) and air-entraining vortex. The profile of an air-core vortex is considered to be one of the main characteristics of the vortex. There are available semi-empirical formulas for the profile of a vertical non-air entraining vortex (air-core vortex in suspension) occurring at a vertically-flowing downward intake. However, there is no available developed formula relating to the profile of a vertical air-entraining vortex occurring at a vertically-flowing downward intake because the height, radii, and other physical quantities of the imaginary section of the air-entraining vortex downstream of the intake entrance are not measurable. Therefore, the profile of a vertical air-entraining vortex needs to be predicted. In the present study, by modifying the available formula relating to the profile of a non-air-entraining vortex and incorporating available test data, a practical methodology is developed for predicting the profile of a vertical air-entraining vortex. This study provides a practical formula and a chart to determine the necessary parameters to predict the profile of a vertical air-entraining vortex. The validation of the proposed methodology is examined and checked with available test data relating to the profile of a vertical air-entraining vortex occurring at a vertically-flowing downward intake. The results of the present study are in good agreement with available test data relating to the profile of vertical air-entraining vortices (the coefficient of determination is between 0.976 and 0.995).Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Fractional Systems With Multi-Parameters Fractional Derivatives(Springer, 2025) Muslih, S.I.; Agrawal, O.P.; Baleanu, D.Recently, a generalization of fractional variational formulations in terms of multiparameter fractional derivatives was introduced by Agrawal and Muslih. This treatment can be used to obtain the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian equations of motion. In this paper, we also extend our work to introduce the generalization of the formulation for constrained mechanical systems containing multi-parameter fractional derivatives. Three examples for regular and constrained fractional systems are analyzed. © The Author(s) 2025.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 11Md Study of Energetics, Melting and Isomerization of Aluminum Microclusters(Springer, 2006) Boyukata, Mustafa; Guvenc, Ziya B.Voter and Chen version of an Embedded Atom Model has been applied to study the locally stable structures, energies, melting, isomerization and growth patterns of small aluminum clusters, Al(n), in the size range of n = 2 - 13. Using molecular dynamics and thermal quenching simulations, the global minima and the other locally stable structures have been distinguished from those stationary structures that correspond to saddle points of the potential energy surface. A large number (10000) of independent initial configurations generated at high temperatures has been used to obtain the stable isomers, and the probabilities of sampling different basins of attractions, for each size of the clusters. Their energy spectra have been determined and melting, and isomerization dynamics are investigated.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Estimation of Cross Sections for Molecule-Cluster Interactions by Using Artificial Neural Networks(Springer, 2006) Boyukata, Mustafa; Kocyigit, Yucel; Guvenc, Ziya B.The cross sections Of D-2 (v,j) + Ni-n (T), n = 19 and 20, collision systems have been estimated by using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). For training, previously determined cross section values via molecular dynamics simulation have been used. The performance of the ANNs for predicting any quantities in molecule-cluster interaction has been investigated. Effects of the temperature of the clusters and the rovibrational states of the molecule are analyzed. The results are in good agreement with previous studies.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Exchange Rate Volatility and Firms' Export Decisions: Evidence From Exporter Dynamics Database(Springer, 2024) Tunc, Cengiz; Solakoglu, M. NihatIn this paper, we study the effects of bilateral exchange rate volatility on the extensive margin of export. More specifically, we explore the effect of bilateral exchange rate volatility on the number of exporters, new entrants to the export market, and exiters from the market using destination and sector-specific export data of 28 developing countries from 1997 to 2014 provided by the Exporter Dynamics Database of the World Bank. The estimation results show that bilateral exchange rate volatility generates a depressing effect on the extensive margin of export. However, the effect is more significant for the entrants and minor for the exiters. Looking at the asymmetric effects with respect to currency depreciations versus appreciations, we find that more significant depreciations of currencies over longer horizons intensify the depressing effect of the volatility on the extensive margin. When we disentangle the destination countries as advanced and developing countries, we find that volatility displays a more significant asymmetric effect in the sample of developing destination countries.Article A Novel High-Performance Traffic Load Management Method: Error Rate Based Window Size Adjustment(Springer, 2025) Preveze, BarbarosBy introducing all IP networks together with IP TVs, smart homes, mobile phones, smartwatches, vehicle communication systems, etc. The demand for internet-based applications has increased which has also produced an increasing demand for bandwidth requirements in packet-switched networks. Thus, improving the system performance is now more important to gain more available bandwidth on the system. In the literature, many studies try to improve network performance for this reason using either hardware or software updates. But instead of having hardware-based modifications requiring more financial support, modifications of the methods used in network structures are much more preferred. In this study, a novel congestion control method called Error Rate Based Window Size Adjustment (ERBWSA) is proposed to be implemented on packet-switched networks which yields an improved system throughput performance by dynamic adjustment on the window size (cwnd) according to the probability of packet error rate.Article Prunable collision free random interleaver design(Springer, 2012) Gazi, OrhanIn this article we introduce a new collision free prunable random interleaver. The suggested interleaver is a joint structure involving rectangular and S-random interleaver. It comprises a general model for all kind of collision free prunable random interleavers. In addition, it can be designed for any number of parallel processors and any length of information sequence vector and can be considered also as a template for collision free prunable interleavers. The proposed interleaver can be used with all kind of turbo-like codes. The performance of the proposed interleaver is measured with parallel decodable serially concatenated convolutional codes (PDSCCCs) and compared to the PDSCCCs' performance with collision full S-random interleaver.Article A Novel Solution for Network Flexibility Problem in Mobile Multi-Hop Tunneling Networks(Springer, 2023) Preveze, BarbarosSince the network throughput performance is limited by the available technology limits, there are too many attempts in the literature to improve the throughput performance of the network by modifying the routing algorithms currently in use. Although application of the tunneling on IP networks provides reserved paths for the higher priority packet streams and succeeds in providing faster communication performances, it is also determined in the literature that, the greatest up to date problem of tunneling networks is the flexibility problem, which is defined as the problem of difficulty to have minimal delay and highest throughput when congestions or node failures occur and the throughput decreases due to high traffic loads on the network. sIn this work, a high performance solution, called LB-ACN (Location Based- Avoid Congested Node) is proposed to solve this flexibility problem and to compensate the increased delay which came up due to the high traffic load and also due to inflexible tunneling network structure, considering the locations of the nodes in addition to their traffic loads. And it is shown that, it is succeeded to carry the throughput of the highly traffic loaded network back to 48.6 Mbps from 36.9 Mbps by about 31.7% performance improvement for which we could improve it from 36.9 Mbps up to 45.9 Mbps by 24.3% using the proposed ACN (Avoid Congested Node) algorithm in our previous work. As a result, we have succeeded in having about 7.4% more improvement on throughput performance in comparison with the previously proposed ACN algorithm.
