Yayın Spectral renormalization group for the Gaussian model and 𝜓4 theory on nonspatial networks(American Physical Society, 2015-08-06) Tuncer, Aslı; Erzan, AyşeWe implement the spectral renormalization group on different deterministic nonspatial networks without translational invariance. We calculate the thermodynamic critical exponents for the Gaussian model on the Cayley tree and the diamond lattice and find that they are functions of the spectral dimension, (d) over tilde. The results are shown to be consistent with those from exact summation and finite-size scaling approaches. At (d) over tilde = 2, the lower critical dimension for the Ising universality class, the Gaussian fixed point is stable with respect to a psi(4) perturbation up to second order. However, on generalized diamond lattices, non-Gaussian fixed points arise for 2 < <(d)over tilde> < 4.Yayın On the equilibrium of a rigid body suspended by a set of linear springs(John Wiley & Sons, 2000-08) Tokad, YılmazIn this paper an approach is described for determining equilibrium states of a rigid body suspended elastically in space by a set of linear springs. This system is considered as a two-terminal generalized spring with terminal across (translational and rotational velocities, V-G, omega(G)) and terminal through (terminal force and moment, f(G), m(G)) variables. The algorithmic approach used for the solution of six nonlinear and coupled equilibrium equations consists of two major steps. The first step is to assign an initial orientation to the rigid body which is represented by the transformation (rotation) matrix T(theta,n) and reduce the problem to the solution of force equations only through a computer program. This yields the position vector xi of a preselected point G on the rigid body. Although the terminal force f(G) becomes zero at this position, the calculated terminal moment m(G), in general, is not equal to zero. The second step is to try to determine the correct orientation of the rigid body based on an argument that the terminal moment should vanish. The same argument is also used for the solution of force equilibrium equations. These two steps are repeated several times until both f(G) and m(G) vanish simultaneously yielding an equilibrium state (xi,T(theta, n)). Application of the approach is illustrated through various examples. It is observed that, if there are nonstable equilibrium states of the system, then sometimes all possible physical equilibrium states may not be obtained with this approach.Yayın Breaking an orbit-based symmetric cryptosystem(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-09) Solak, Ercan; Rhouma, Rhouma; Belghith, Safya MdimeghWe report a break for a recently proposed class of cryptosystems. The cryptosystem uses constant points of a periodic secret orbit to encrypt the plaintext. In order to break the system, it suffices to sort the constant points and find the initial fixed point. We also report breaks for modified versions of the cryptosystem. In addition, we discuss some efficiency issues of the cryptosystem.Yayın VC-dimension of univariate decision trees(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015-02-25) Yıldız, Olcay TanerIn this paper, we give and prove the lower bounds of the Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC)-dimension of the univariate decision tree hypothesis class. The VC-dimension of the univariate decision tree depends on the VC-dimension values of its subtrees and the number of inputs. Via a search algorithm that calculates the VC-dimension of univariate decision trees exhaustively, we show that our VC-dimension bounds are tight for simple trees. To verify that the VC-dimension bounds are useful, we also use them to get VC-generalization bounds for complexity control using structural risk minimization in decision trees, i.e., pruning. Our simulation results show that structural risk minimization pruning using the VC-dimension bounds finds trees that are more accurate as those pruned using cross validation.Yayın Weakly nonlinear waves in a linearly tapered elastic tube filled with a fluid(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-01) Demiray, HilmiIn the present work, treating the arteries as a tapered, thin-walled, long and circularly conical prestressed elastic tube and using the long-wave approximation, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible inviscid fluid the evolution equation is obtained as the Korteweg-de Vries equation with a variable coefficient. It is shown that this type of equations admits a solitary wave type of solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that the wave speed increases with the scaled time parameter tau for positive tapering while it decreases for negative tapering, as expected.Yayın Design and implementation of a smart beehive and its monitoring system using microservices in the context of IoT and open data(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05) Aydın, Şahin; Aydın, Mehmet NafizIt is essential to keep honey bees healthy for providing a sustainable ecological balance. One way of keeping honey bees healthy is to be able to monitor and control the general conditions in a beehive and also outside of a beehive. Monitoring systems offer an effective way of accessing, visualizing, sharing, and managing data that is gathered from performed agricultural and livestock activities for domain stakeholders. Such systems have recently been implemented based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) and IoT to monitor the activities of honey bees in beehives as well. Scholars have shown considerable interests in proposing IoT- and WSN-based beehive monitoring systems, but much of the research up to now lacks in proposing appropriate architecture for open data driven beehive monitoring systems. Developing a robust monitoring system based on a contemporary software architecture such as microservices can be of great help to be able to control the activities of honey bees and more importantly to be able to keep them healthy in beehives. This research sets out to design and implementation of a sustainable WSN-based beehive monitoring platform using a microservice architecture. We pointed out that by adopting microservices one can deal with long-standing problems with heterogeneity, interoperability, scalability, agility, reliability, maintainability issues, and in turn achieve sustainable WSN-based beehive monitoring systems.Yayın Strategies for the evolution of sex(American Physical Soc, One Physics Ellipse, 2001-12) Tüzel, Erkan; Sevim, Volkan; Erzan, AyşeWe find that the hypothesis made by Jan, Stauffer, and Moseley [Theory Biosci. 119, 166 (2000)] for the evolution of sex, namely, a strategy devised to escape extinction due to too many deleterious mutations, is sufficient but not necessary for the successful evolution of a steady state population of sexual individuals within a finite population. Simply allowing for a finite probability for conversion to sex in each generation also gives rise to a stable sexual population, in the presence of an upper limit on the number of deleterious mutations per individual. For large values of this probability, we find a phase transition to an intermittent, multistable regime. On the other hand, in the limit of extremely slow drive. another transition takes place to a different steady state distribution. with fewer deleterious mutations within the population.Yayın On the kinematic of a 3-DOF Stewart platform(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1999-02) Bürüncük, Kadri; Tokad, YılmazThe kinematic behavior of the Stewart platform has been discussed in the literature by many researchers. In the present article, a special form of the Stewart platform, namely, the 3-degrees of freedom platform with triangular shaped base and upper platforms, is considered by thoroughly deriving a new set of constraint equations which makes it possible to discover several new properties of the platform. Both the inverse and direct kinematic problems are discussed and a new approach for solution of the direct kinematic problem is described which gives all the real (physical) solutions.Yayın Fusing multiple W states simultaneously with a Fredkin gate(American Physical Society, 2014-04-14) Özaydın, Fatih; Buğu, Sinan; Yeşilyurt, Can; Altıntaş, Azmi Ali; Tame, Mark; Kaya Özdemir, ŞahinWe propose an optical scheme to prepare large-scale entangled networks of W states. The scheme works by simultaneously fusing three polarization-encoded W states of arbitrary size via accessing only one qubit of each W state. It is composed of a Fredkin gate (controlled-swap gate), two fusion gates [as proposed in S. K. Ozdemir et al., New J. Phys. 13, 103003 (2011)], and an H-polarized ancilla photon. Starting with three n-qubit W states, the scheme prepares a new W state with 3(n - 1) qubits after postselection if both fusion gates operate successfully, i.e., a fourfold coincidence at the detectors. The proposed scheme reduces the cost of creating arbitrarily large W states considerably when compared to previously reported schemes.
