Yayın Aşırı Sağ ve Demokrasi(Tasam, 2009) Celep, Ödül1980'lerden bu yana birçok demokraside aşırı sağ partilerin seçmen desteğindeki yükselişine şahit olmaktayız. Bu yükseliş, demokratik sistemlerin tehlike altında olduğu yönünde genel bir endişe uyandırmıştır. Bu endişenin oluşmasının başlıca nedeni, aşırı sağ partilerin otoriter ve dışlayıcı politikaları savunması ve demokratik kurum ve uygulamaları sert bir dille eleştirmesidir. Bu çalışmanın başlıca amacı, aşırı sağ partilerin demokratik siyaseti doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak nasıl etkileyebileceğini irdelemek ve bu bağlamda demokrasilerin geleceği ile ilgili duyulan endişenin ne derece haklı bir endişe olduğunu araştırmaktır. Hangi partilerin aşırı sağ parti kategorisinde yer aldığı tespit edildikten sonra çalışma üç aşamada ilerlemektedir. Öncelikle aşırı sağ partilerin oy oranlarına bakılarak bu partilerin seçim performanslarının kendilerine ne derecede siyasi etkinlik sağladığı araştırılmaktadır. Sonrasında ise aşırı sağ partilere verilen oyların ne derece ideolojik, ne derece protesto oyu olduğuna bakılmaktadır. Bulgular ideolojik yakınlığın bu partilere oy verme üzerindeki etkisinin daha kuvvetli olduğunu gösterse de, yakın gelecekte aşırı sağın oy oranında önemli bir artış öngörülmemektedir. Bunun üzerine son aşamada aşırı sağ dışındaki partilerin son otuz yıl içinde aşırı sağ partilere ne derecede benzedikleri sorusu sorulmaktadır. Karşılaştırmalı Manifesto Projesi kapsamındaki sayısal veri kullanılarak yapılan analiz, toplam 19 demokrasideki demokratik partilerin önemli bir kısmının otoriter sağ temaları benimsediğini ve ideolojik anlamda sağa kaydığını göstermektedir. Çalışmanın sonucu, demokratik siyaset üzerindeki tehlikenin aşığı sağ partilerden ziyade diğer partilerden gelebileceğine işaret etmektedir.Yayın Calculating the VC-dimension of decision trees(IEEE, 2009) Aslan, Özlem; Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Alpaydın, Ahmet İbrahim EthemWe propose an exhaustive search algorithm that calculates the VC-dimension of univariate decision trees with binary features. The VC-dimension of the univariate decision tree with binary features depends on (i) the VC-dimension values of the left and right subtrees, (ii) the number of inputs, and (iii) the number of nodes in the tree. From a training set of example trees whose VC-dimensions are calculated by exhaustive search, we fit a general regressor to estimate the VC-dimension of any binary tree. These VC-dimension estimates are then used to get VC-generalization bounds for complexity control using SRM in decision trees, i.e., pruning. Our simulation results shows that SRM-pruning using the estimated VC-dimensions finds trees that are as accurate as those pruned using cross-validation.Yayın On the sensitivity of desirability functions for multiresponse optimization(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2008-11) Aksezer, Sezgin ÇağlarDesirability functions have been one of the most important multiresponse optimization technique since the early eighties. Main reasons for this popularity might be counted as the convenience of the implementation of the method and it's availability in many experimental design software packages. Technique itself involves somehow subjective parameters such as the importance coefficients between response characteristics that are used to calculate overall desirability, weights used in determining the shape of each individual response and the size of the specification band of the response. However, the impact of these sensitive parameters on the solution set is mostly uninvestigated. This paper proposes a procedure to analyze the sensitivity of the important characteristic parameters of desirability functions and their impact on pareto-optimal solution set. The proposed procedure uses the experimental design tools on the solution space and estimates a prediction equation on the overall desirability to identify the sensitive parameters. For illustration, a classical desirability example is selected from the literature and results are given along with the discussion.Yayın Contributions of higher order terms to nonlinear waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes: strongly dispersive case(Pergamon-Elsevier Science, 2003-07) Demiray, HilmiIn the present work, employing the nonlinear equations of an incompressible, isotropic and elastic thin tube and the approximate equations of an incompressible inviscid fluid, and then utilizing the modified reductive perturbation technique presented by us [15] the amplitude modulation of weakly nonlinear waves is examined. It is shown that the first order term in the perturbation expansion is governed by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation and the second order term is governed by the linearized Schrodinger equation with a nonhomogeneous term. In the longwave limit a travelling wave type of solution to these equations are also given.Yayın On the extraction of the channel allocation information in spectrum pooling systems(IEEE, 2007-04) Öner, Mustafa Mengüç; Jondral, Friedrich K.The spectrum pooling strategy allows a license owner to share a part of his licensed spectrum with a secondary wireless system (the rental system, RS) during its idle times. The coexistence of two mobile systems on the same frequency band poses many new challenges, one of which is the reliable extraction of the channel allocation information (CAI), i.e. the channel occupation of the licensed system (LS). This paper presents a strategy for the extraction of the CAI based on exploiting the distinct cyclostationary characteristics of the LS and RS signals and demonstrates, via simulations, its application on a specific spectrum pooling scenario, where the LS is a GSM network and the RS is an OFDM based WLAN system.Yayın On the effect of random sampling jitter on cyclostationarity based spectrum sensing algorithms for cognitive radio(IEEE, 2009) Öner, Mustafa MengüçCognitive radio is an enabling technology, which is expected to lead to a more efficient utilization of the available spectral resources due to its flexibility and its ability to sense its spectral environment. Recently, spectrum sensing methods based on exploiting the cyclostationary characteristics of communication signals have been drawing considerable interest. Imperfections in the cognitive radio receiver that affect the cyclic statistics of a signal of interest may lead to a degradation in the performance of spectrum sensing algorithms based on cyclostationarity. One such typical source of imperfection is random timing jitter in the sampling process. In this work, we explore the effect of random sampling jitter on the second order cyclostationary statistics of wide sense cyclostationary signals. General analytical expressions are derived for the cyclic statistics of sampled signals in the presence of sampling jitter and specific results are provided for two cases of interest. Subsequently, the effect of the jitter on a spectrum sensing algorithm is investigated via simulations.Yayın EEG signal compression based on classified signature and envelope vector sets(Wiley, 2009-03) Gürkan, Hakan; Güz, Ümit; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this paper, a novel method to compress electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is proposed. The proposed method is based on the generation process of the classified signature and envelope vector sets (CSEVS), which employs an effective k-means clustering algorithm. It is assumed that both the transmitter and the receiver units have the same CSEVS. In this work, on a frame basis, EEG signals are modeled by multiplying only three factors called as classified signature vector, classified envelope vector, and gain coefficient (GC), respectively. In other words, every frame of an EEG signal is represented by two indices R and K of CSEVS and the GC. EEG signals are reconstructed frame by frame using these numbers in the receiver unit by employing the CSEVS. The proposed method is evaluated by using some evaluation metrics that are commonly used in this area such as root-mean-square error, percentage root-mean-square difference, and measuring with visual inspection. The performance of the proposed method is also compared with the other methods. It is observed that the proposed method achieves high compression ratios with low-level reconstruction error while preserving diagnostic information in the reconstructed EEG signal.Yayın “International conference on vibration problems” ICOVP-2007 and a short history(Springer Science and Business Media, LLC, 2008) İnan, Esin[No abstract available]Yayın Evolving strategies for web crawler(Işık Üniversitesi, 2009-05-06) Küçük, Kamil; Perdahçı, Nazım Ziya; Işık Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Enformasyon Teknolojileri Yüksek Lisans ProgramıWith the rapid growth of Internet and Internet-based information, it becomes the largest and publicly accessible data source in the world. Every day millions of information available so to achieve information becomes harder. To get the correct information trusted web sites and search engines are used. Trusted web sites have links between themselves, and users can reach correct and relevant information. Search engines are using crawler to follow links between pages. The context available to such crawlers can guide the navigation of links with the goal of efficiently locating highly relevant target pages. Crawler takes seed pages from search engines and follows these links using multi-agents. After first search, the results are inserted to database and they are used for seed pages for another search. The aim is the get access more reliable information using more seed pages in a short time.Yayın Phased subarray imaging for low-cost, wideband coherent array imaging(IEEE, 2003) Johnson, Jeremy A.; Oralkan, Ömer; Ergün, Arif Sanlı; Demirci, Utkan; Karaman, Mustafa; Khuri-Yakub, Butrus ThomasThe front-end hardware complexity of conventional full phased array (FPA) imaging is proportional to the number of array elements. Phased subarray (PSA) imaging has been proposed as a method of reducing the hardware complexity-and therefore system cost and size-while achieving near-FPA image quality. A new method is presented for designing the subarray-dependent interpolation filters suitable for wideband PSA imaging. The method was tested experimentally using pulse-echo data of a wire target phantom acquired using a 3.2-cm. 128-element capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) array with 85% fractional bandwidth at 3 MHz. A specific PSA configuration using seven 32-element subarrays was compared to FPA imaging, representing a 4-fold reduction in front-end hardware complexity and a 43% decrease in frame rate. For targets near the fixed transmit focal distance, the mean 6-dB lateral resolution was identical to that of FPA, the axial resolution improved by 4%, and the SNR decreased by 5 dB. Measurements were repeated for 10 different PSA configurations with subarray sizes ranging from 4 to 60. The lateral and axial resolutions did not vary significantly with subarray size; both the SNR and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) improved with increased subarray size.
