Article GenShare: A Blockchain-Based Genomic Data Sharing Platform(Association for Computing Machinery, 2026-01-27) Dedeturk, B.A.; Soran, A.; Bakir-Güngör, B.Every day, hundreds of gigabytes of data are produced due to the exponential growth of next-generation sequencing and omics technologies. By combining omics data with other data types, such as electronic health record data, panomics research is actively attempting to uncover novel and potentially useful biomarkers. For the effective analysis of high-throughput-derived omics data, it is imperative to establish robust and reliable platforms that prioritize ethical considerations while effectively managing privacy, ownership concerns, and the responsible sharing of data. The GenShare model was proposed to provide an efficient platform that fits these needs. GenShare is a hybrid platform that utilizes blockchain technology. Paillier’s homomorphic encryption scheme in tandem with Intel Software Guard Extension (SGX) serves to enable the sharing of genomic data, execution of count queries, and statistical analysis of genomic data while preserving privacy and avoiding compromise of sensitive information. The objective of this paradigm is to confront security and privacy concerns through the integration of homomorphic encryption and SGX, addressing additional challenges associated with Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. In pursuit of this objective, the implementation of the system involved establishing the Hyperledger Fabric network, with various workloads employed to assess the network’s efficiency. Consequently, it was hypothesized that the new GenShare model would enhance the data collection and dissemination cycle and serve as a proficient platform catering to the needs of its users. © 2026 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).Conference Object Shooting a Water Slug Into an Air Column with and without Vent(Amer Soc Mechanical Engineers, 2025-07-20) Bozkus, Zafer; Dincer, Ali Ersin; Tijsseling, Arris S.; van de Ven, FonsCompressed air is used to shoot a single water slug into an upward sloping pipe with elbow and orifice at its upper end. The experiment concerns a 12 m long pipe of 0.1 m diameter connected to a 0.5 m3 air vessel. The 10 to 50 kg heavy slugs are initially at rest in the lower part of the system. Because the upper end is closed by a flange with orifice, the water slug is expected not to hit the upstream elbow. It causes - like a piston - a fast compression of the air column ahead of it. Sometimes the slug bounces back and forth, which results in a pressure oscillation of serious amplitude. Numerical simulations based on an elementary mathematical model are normally used to interpret the pressure measurements, not all of which are fully understood. Lessons learned are summarised, and suggestions for improved experiments and enhanced simulations are given. The research is of importance, for example, for steam lines where liquid condensates may collect in lower parts after power failure. Start-up of the system will then lead to rapid slug acceleration and potentially damaging impact on elbows, orifices, and machinery.Conference Object Clean Energy Production and Decarbonization of Energy Sector With Floating Photovoltaic Systems(Institute of Physics, 2025-11-01) Bajc, T.; Ozgun, F.; Koca, K.; Karipoğlu, F.Floating photovoltaic systems (FPVS) offer several advantages over traditional land-based PV systems, which has contributed to a growing global interest in their deployment. Since the energy yields are strongly dependent on location and tilt angle of FPVS, this research focuses on the clean energy production and decarbonization potential of FPVS in Serbia and Türkiye for different water bodies, such are natural and artificial lakes and dams. The research is performed for the most appropriate lakes and dams, having in mind importance of the location, energy yields potential, distance from the electricity grid and main roads, environmental impact, water depth and land type quality. Tilt angles are analyzed in a range from 5 to 40°, and the optimal angle is depicted for selected locations. The highest energy yields for Türkiye were obtained for 30° tilt angle, while for Serbia it was 36°. The results showed that possible clean energy production in both countries reaches 15345 kWh of energy in total, while the yearly carbon emissions reduction for all selected locations goes up to 10.76 tCO<inf>2</inf>/year in total. Since the legal framework for the application of FPVS is not established yet in observed countries, these results contribute to the future development of legislation in the field of FPVS and encourage the stakeholders to invest in clean energy production. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Conference Object Modular Floating Energy Islands With Green Hydrogen Integration: Design of a Small-Scale P2x Scheme(Institute of Physics, 2025-11-01) Akpolat, A.N.; Cundeva, S.; Todorovic, J.; Rexhepi, V.; Okhay, O.; Bakon, T.; Borg, R.P.The climate crisis and rising carbon emissions make the integration of renewable energy systems into electricity grids worldwide inevitable. In this context, modular floating energy islands (MFEI) provide innovative solutions for hybrid systems with high renewable energy penetration. This study explores the simultaneous use of various renewable resources, such as solar, wind, tidal, and wave energy, through small-scale MFEI structures that can be situated in seas and lakes. Thanks to their modular design, these systems offer benefits like scalability, portability, and ease of maintenance, allowing for flexible and adaptive developments in the energy infrastructure. As highlighted in recent literature (e.g., the North Sea Wind Power Hub and EU H2Ocean projects), offshore structures for green hydrogen production support energy storage and carbon-free fuel conversion within the Power-to-X (P2X) framework. This study evaluates the potential of photovoltaic (PV)-supported hydrogen production in MFEI structures through numerical analyses. The results emphasize the strategic role of these structures in enhancing energy security, coastal protection, and reducing carbon emissions by producing significant amounts of hydrogen. This hydrogen can be used for various purposes, including re-electrification, industrial applications, heating, and agriculture. Future research should focus on real-time data optimization, AI-supported system management, and integrated hydrogen consumption scenarios. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Conference Object Security Through Digital Twin-Based Intrusion Detection: A Swat Dataset Analysis(IEEE, 2023-10-18) Bozdal, MehmetDigital twin, as a virtual replica of physical entity, offer valuable insights into Industrial Control System (ICS) behavior and characteristics. Leveraging the convergence of digital twins and cybersecurity, this research explores its role in securing critical infrastructure, using the Secure Water Treatment (SWaT) system as a case study. Existing intrusion detection systems (IDS) for SWaT encounter challenges related to requiring huge amounts of a dataset for training, being unable to adopt high data dimensionality, and adaptability to emerging threats. To address these issues, a hybrid digital twin model is proposed, combining physics-based models and data-driven approaches. This model facilitates precise attack localization and explainable IDS outcomes. The method exhibits promising capabilities for enhancing critical infrastructure security and adapting to evolving cyber threats. Experimental results demonstrate the ability to detect eight out of nine attack types.Article Citation - WoS: 2High-Accuracy Identification of Durian Leaf Diseases: A Convolutional Neural Network Approach Validated with K-Fold Cross-Validation and Bayesian Optimization(Springer, 2025-11-18) Soylemez, Ismet; Nalici, Mehmet Eren; Unlu, RamazanTo address the economic losses caused by plant diseases in durian farming, this study presents an optimized deep learning model that diagnoses diseases from leaf images with high accuracy. The model's performance is maximized through Bayesian optimization and hyperparameter tuning, while its reliability is maximized through layered five-fold cross-validation. Training the convolutional neural network model on 2595 leaf images displaying six different states (five diseased and one healthy) resulted in an average test accuracy of 91.98%. This high, consistent success rate demonstrates the model's generalizability to different datasets without overfitting. While the 'Healthy' and 'Algal' classes were successfully detected with high F1-scores, there are difficulties distinguishing between the 'Blight' and 'Colletotrichum' classes due to visual similarities. This study establishes a new reference point for durian disease classification and makes a significant contribution to the development of reliable artificial intelligence-based diagnostic tools for precision agriculture.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Comparative Study of Existing and Current On-Site Documentation of Anatolian Seljuk Kümbets(Elsevier Ltd, 2025-12) Güzelci, O.Z.; Türel, A.During the Anatolian Seljuk period (1077–1307), monumental tombs known as kümbets emerged as a distinct architectural typology in present-day Türkiye. 2D drawings of these structures, produced since the early 20th century, contain inconsistencies that necessitate verification and accurate documentation. This study digitally documents Anatolian Seljuk kümbets in 3D to generate updated 2D sections reflecting their current condition and compares these with previously published drawings. The methodology includes collecting available 2D sections, digitally documenting kümbets through field studies, generating new 2D sections from 3D models, and systematically comparing these datasets. Two image-based metrics are employed in the comparison: the Exact Pixel Match Ratio (EPMR), which evaluates pixel-level alignment, and the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM), a standard indicator for visual similarity. The results provide a comparative framework for assessing previous drawings and present a verified, up-to-date dataset of kümbet sections for future research. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Oscillator Phase Noise Impact on Monostatic/Bistatic Space-Borne Sub-THz ISAR(IEEE, 2025-05-21) Bekari, Ali; Gashinova, Marina; Bekar, Muge; Martorellai, Marco; Antonioni, Michail; Bekar, Ali; Martorella, Marco; Antoniou, MichailThis study develops an oscillator phase noise model and analyzes its effects on the performance of spaceborne monostatic and bistatic Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (B-ISAR) systems operating at the sub-THz band.

This work investigates the application of a multi-algorithm machine learning framework based on the Grouping-Scoring-Modeling (G-S-M) approach for improving the prediction of complex diseases. The study identifies the primary gene and miRNA interactions in various complex diseases with the help of miRGediNET, which is a machine-learning based tool that integrates data from three biological databases. Traditional methods have only focused on independence between features; the G-S-M method focuses on aggregating genes based on biological interactions, pinpointing the scoring of gene groups for a disease, and modeling its predictive capability using advanced machine learning algorithms. In this research paper, seven algorithms, including Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, and CatBoost, were applied to eight datasets extracted from the GEO database. This framework proved very robust in ranking gene clusters, thus predicting critical biomarkers while doing 100-fold randomized cross-validation within the evaluation. The results indicate this approach's high potential for refining disease and supporting research for choosing the best algorithm that can provide biological insights and computational advances.Conference Object High Performance and Resource Efficient Low Density Parity Check Decoder Design(IEEE, 2025-06-25) Unal, BurakLow Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes have gained popularity in communication systems due to their capacity-approaching error correction performance. In this study, a highperformance LDPC decoding algorithm with extremely low resource usage is proposed. Among the hard decision class of LDPC decoders, Gallager B (GaB) provides high-performance hardware due to its computational simplicity. However, GaB suffers from poor error-correction performance. In this study, a new intrinsic computation technique for GaB called Intrinsic Gallager B (IGaB) is introduced to improve error correction performance. Our simulation results show that the IGaB algorithm provides better error correction performance compared with GaB. GaB and IGaB algorithms are implemented on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to compare hardware performance.
