Article Noninvasive Condition Monitoring for Eccentricity Fault Detection in Large Hydro Generators(TÜBİTAK Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2026-01-16) Lemeski, Atena Tazikeh; Tekgun, Didem; Keysan, Ozan; Leblebicioglu, Kemal; Gol, Murat; Leblebicioglu, Mehmet KemalEccentricity faults in electric machines remain a critical concern, as they generate uneven magnetic forces that increase vibration and noise, ultimately raising the risk of premature motor failure. This study proposes a method for the early detection of dynamic eccentricity (DE) faults in hydropower plants through an advanced optimization-based parameter identification technique integrated with finite element analysis (FEA). Finite element modeling (FEM) is first used to analyze an existing salient-pole synchronous generator (SPSG) from a hydroelectric power plant in T & uuml;rkiye. The effects of DE faults on the SPSG's magnetic equivalent circuit parameters are then examined under various fault severities. A comprehensive hydropower plant model-including the synchronous generator, governor, and excitation system-is developed in MATLAB/Simulink, with all input parameters obtained from real plant data and equivalent circuit variations extracted from FEA. After completing the modeling stage, including fault scenarios, MATLAB and Simulink are employed together to estimate key magnetic equivalent circuit parameters using a modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm, achieving highly accurate parameter estimation. Since the hydropower system allows measurement of the three-phase output currents, parameter estimation is performed based on current variations under different fault conditions. The simulation results verify the method's ability to detect faults with high accuracy; thus, this integrated and noninvasive approach provides a robust framework for ensuring the operational reliability and longevity of large hydro generators.Article Modeling and Simulation of Dynamic Energy Management Systems for Smart Buildings(TÜBİTAK, 2025-11-25) Ozel, O.; Rıfat Boynueğrİ, A.; Yigit, H.; Tekgun, B.; Boynuegri, Ali RifatThis study presents a dynamic energy management system tailored for smart residential buildings, integrating thermal and electrical models to achieve both natural gas and electricity bill cost reduction. By harnessing wind and solar energy sources, the system aims to meet the diverse energy needs of modern homes. Through load shifting and thermal storage strategies, known as power-to-heat (P2H) approaches, the system ensures efficient renewable energy utilization while maintaining resident comfort. Validation of the proposed system was conducted using real-world data from the Yıldız Technical University Smart Home Laboratory, demonstrating its practical applicability and effectiveness. Results indicate significant reductions in both natural gas and electricity consumption, leading to substantial cost savings. Specifically, the proposed system reduced natural gas consumption by 3.79% and electricity consumption by 35.62%, highlighting its potential to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in residential settings. © This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Study of Helical Antenna Endowing Short Wire Length and Compact Structure for High-Frequency Operations and Its Exclusive Manufacturing Process(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2023-03-01) Aslan, Melih; Sik, Kaan; Güzelkara, Izzet; Özdür, Ibrahim Tuna; Kilic, Veli TayfunIn this paper a study of a helical antenna resonating at high-frequency (HF) band with a very compact structure is reported. The designed antenna's S11 parameter magnitude change with frequency was calculated for different geometrical parameters. For each case, first, only a single parameter was changed. Then for a fair comparison, multiple parameters were changed simultaneously while the total wire length was set to be constant. Also, shifts in resonance frequencies and variations in -10 dB bandwidths were investigated. Our results show that resonance behaviour changes distinctively with the geometrical parameters and it allows shortening of the antenna wire length. For the designed antenna, the resonances shift to lower frequencies and -10 dB bandwidths around the resonances decrease as the winding wire thickness, number of turns, and turn radius increase. Whereas as the turn spacing increases the resonances shift to higher frequencies and -10 dB bandwidths widen, although the total wire length of the antenna increases. To verify the simulation results, the designed antenna was fabricated with an exclusive manufacturing process and characterized. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results. It demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed manufacturing technique, which is new in the literature and enables accurate and rigid antenna fabrication with simple and low-cost steps.Article Optimizing Parameters for Efficient Computation With Fully Homomorphic Encryption Schemes(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2025-03-21) Karaagac, Cavidan Yakupoglu; Rohloff, Kurt; Yakupoğlu Karaağaç, Cavidan; Yakupoglu, CavidanIn this study, we aim to provide a parameter selection approach for the BFVrns scheme, one of the prominent fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) schemes. Selecting parameters for lattice-based FHE schemes poses a practical challenge for both experts and nonexperts. To solve this problem, we introduce a hybrid approach that combines theoretical approach with experimental analysis. First, we employ regression analysis to examine the impact of parameters on both performance and security. The varying behavior of FHE parameters in terms of performance, security, and ciphertext expansion factor (CEF) makes parameter selection more challenging. To address this issue, we employ a multi-objective optimization algorithm to determine the optimal parameter set for performance, CEF, and security simultaneously. As a result of this optimization, we obtain an improved parameter set that enhances performance at a given security level while ensuring correctness and resistance to lattice-based attacks, maintaining at least 128-bit security. Our results achieve an average similar to 5x reduction in CEF and generally better performance compared to the parameter sets in a previous BFVrns study. Our approach serves as a semi-automated parameter selection method for the PALISADE homomorphic encryption library, a widely recognized FHE library. This study sets a precedent for other FHE libraries.Article Citation - Scopus: 6Network Intrusion Detection Based on Machine Learning Strategies: Performance Comparisons on Imbalanced Wired, Wireless, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Network Traffics(Turkiye Klinikleri, 2024-07-26) Hacilar, Hilal; Aydin, Zafer; Güngör, Vehbi ÇağrıThe rapid growth of computer networks emphasizes the urgency of addressing security issues. Organizations rely on network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and theft. These systems analyze network traffic to detect suspicious activities, such as attempted breaches or cyberattacks. However, existing studies lack a thorough assessment of class imbalances and classification performance for different types of network intrusions: wired, wireless, and software-defined networking (SDN). This research aims to fill this gap by examining these networks’ imbalances, feature selection, and binary classification to enhance intrusion detection system efficiency. Various techniques such as SMOTE, ROS, ADASYN, and SMOTETomek are used to handle imbalanced datasets. Additionally, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) identifies key features, and an autoencoder (AE) assists in feature extraction for the classification task. The study evaluates datasets such as AWID, UNSW, and InSDN, yielding the best results with different numbers of selected features. Bayesian optimization fine-tunes parameters, and diverse machine learning algorithms (SVM, kNN, XGBoost, random forest, ensemble classifiers, and autoencoders) are employed. The optimal results, considering F1-measure, overall accuracy, detection rate, and false alarm rate, have been achieved for the UNSW-NB15, preprocessed AWID, and InSDN datasets, with values of [0.9356, 0.9289, 0.9328, 0.07597], [0.997, 0.9995, 0.9999, 0.0171], and [0.9998, 0.9996, 0.9998, 0.0012], respectively. These findings demonstrate that combining Bayesian optimization with oversampling techniques significantly enhances classification performance across wired, wireless, and SDN networks when compared to previous research conducted on these datasets. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 10Lung Cancer Subtype Differentiation From Positron Emission Tomography Images(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2020-01-27) Ayyildiz, Oguzhan; Aydin, Zafer; Yilmaz, Bulent; Karacavus, Seyhan; Senkaya, Kubra; Icer, Semra; Kaya, Eser; Taşdemir, ArzuLung cancer is one of the deadly cancer types, and almost 85% of lung cancers are nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In the present study we investigated classification and feature selection methods for the differentiation of two subtypes of NSCLC, namely adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC). The major advances in understanding the effects of therapy agents suggest that future targeted therapies will be increasingly subtype specific. We obtained positron emission tomography (PET) images of 93 patients with NSCLC, 39 of which had ADC while the rest had SqCC. Random walk segmentation was applied to delineate three-dimensional tumor volume, and 39 texture features were extracted to grade the tumor subtypes. We examined 11 classifiers with two different feature selection methods and the effect of normalization on accuracy. The classifiers we used were the k-nearest-neighbor, logistic regression, support vector machine, Bayesian network, decision tree, radial basis function network, random forest, AdaBoostM1, and three stacking methods. To evaluate the prediction accuracy we performed a leave-one-out cross-validation experiment on the dataset. We also considered optimizing certain hyperparameters of these models by performing 10-fold cross-validation separately on each training set. We found that the stacking ensemble classifier, which combines a decision tree, AdaBoostM1, and logistic regression methods by a metalearner, was the most accurate method for detecting subtypes of NSCLC, and normalization of feature sets improved the accuracy of the classification method.Article Existence of Positive Solutions for Nonlinear Multipoint P-Laplacian Dynamic Equations on Time Scales(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2020-05-08) Dogan, AbdulkadirIn this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for nonlinear multipoint boundary value problems for p-Laplacian dynamic equations on time scales with the delta derivative of the nonlinear term. Sufficient assumptions are obtained for existence of at least twin or arbitrary even positive solutions to some boundary value problems. Our results are achieved by appealing to the fixed point theorems of Avery-Henderson. As an application, an example to demonstrate our results is given.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Existence Results for a Class of Boundary Value Problems for Fractional Differential Equations(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021-05-20) Dogan, AbdulkadirBy application of some fixed point theorems, that is, the Banach fixed point theorem, Schaefer's and the LeraySchauder fixed point theorem, we establish new existence results of solutions to boundary value problems of fractional differential equations. This paper is motivated by Agarwal et al. (Georgian Math. J. 16 (2009) No.3, 401-411).Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Complementary Medicines Used in Ulcerative Colitis and Unintended Interactions With Cytochrome P450-Dependent Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2022-01-01) Sen, AlaattinUlcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease with multiple genetic and a variety of environmental risk factors. Although current drugs significantly aid in controlling the disease, many people have led to the application of complementary therapies due to the common belief that they are natural and safe, as well as due to the consideration of the side effect of current drugs. Curcumin, cannabinoids, wheatgrass, Boswellia, wormwood and Aloe vera are among the most commonly used complementary medicines in UC. However, these treatments may have adverse and toxic effects due to unintended interactions with drugs or drug-metabolizing enzymes such as cytochrome P450s; thus, being ignorant of these interactions might cause deleterious effects with severe consequences. In addition, the lack of complete and controlled long-term studies with the use of these complementary medicines regarding drug metabolism pose additional risk and unsafety. Thus, this review aims to give an overview of the potential interactions of drug-metabolizing enzymes with the complementary botanical medicines used in UC, drawing attention to possible adverse effects.Article Comparative Assessment of Smooth and Non-Smooth Optimization Solvers in Hanso Software(Ramazan Yaman, 2021-10-27) Tor, Ali HakanThe aim of this study is to compare the performance of smooth and nonsmooth mization) software. The smooth optimization solver is the implementation of the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) method and the nonsmooth optimization solver is the Hybrid Algorithm for Nonsmooth Optimization. More precisely, the nonsmooth optimization algorithm is the combination of the BFGS and the Gradient Sampling Algorithm (GSA). We use well-known collection of academic test problems for nonsmooth optimization containing both convex and nonconvex problems. The motivation for this research is the importance of the comparative assessment of smooth optimization methods for solving nonsmooth optimization problems. This assessment will demonstrate how successful is the BFGS method for solving nonsmooth optimization problems in comparison with the nonsmooth optimization solver from HANSO. Performance profiles using the number iterations, the number of function evaluations and the number of subgradient evaluations are used to compare solvers.
