Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Increasing Creativity With Unusual Designs(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Ergin, Merve Hande; Rouyendegh (Babek Erdebilli), Babak DaneshvarCreativity is important in synthesizing new ideas. For the engineering students, there are different methods to increase the level of creativity. Also, the unusual designs stimulate the students' creativity helping them to think innovatively. The assessment tool CEDA (Creative Engineering Design Assessment) is applied with minor modifications (CEDA-modified) to measure creativity in IE 101 Introduction to Engineering course. The CEDA score is modified by using AHP method to decrease the subjectivity of the assessment criteria. The study is applied to 49 industrial engineering students as an exam question. The question asked requires developing five advantages to an unusual design given. Male students developed more ideas compared to female students when they face with unusual design. More designs may be required to discuss through out the term and a proper term project that requires more design may be submitted to increase the success level.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Comparison of computer-based propagation models with experimental data collected in an urban area at 1800 MHz(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Acar,T.; Caliskan,F.; Aydin,E.Nowadays a lot of models are set for the efficient and economic usage of frequency band since the band is a limited source. Therefore, the propagation models created for this purpose were studied in the literature. These models are Free Space Path Loss (Fspl) + Reflection plus Multiple Diffraction (RMD), COST-Hata and COST-WI models. In order to compare the success of the models, electric field strength measurements were taken in a chosen district (Mustafa Kemal Mahallesi - Ankara, Turkey) where an irregular structure style can be observed. First set of measurements were recorded at random coordinates and second set of measurements were collected by the following coordinates tracking on a single line. As a conclusion, measured values were compared with the results which were taken from the mentioned models with graphical presentations. The most appropriate model was tried to be found and as another aim of the study, a correction factor was generated as a modification for COST-Hata propagation model. © 2015 IEEE.Conference Object Kinetics Studies on Glyceraldehyde Concentration of Bovine Lens Aldose Reductase(Wiley-blackwell, 2011) Onay, M.; Onay, M.; Coruh, N.; Isgor, S. B.[No Abstract Available]Conference Object The Borderline Between Serious Games and Simulations(Iated-int Assoc Technology Education & development, 2014) Guney, Sinem; Cagiltay, Nergiz Ercil; Tuner, Emre; Cereci, IbrahimGame and simulation-based environments allow trainees to develop motor and cognitive skills as well as to provide some very detailed measurement values which in turn provide a feedback mechanism. It is a well known fact that games and simulation are potentially creating safer and cheaper active learning environments. Even when several benefits of games and simulations are reported in the literature, there is no exact definition of a game and simulation drawing the borders in between. Hence this causes to some complexities and misunderstandings in the field. Accordingly, in this study a definition for simulations and games is searched by being based on the studies found in the literature. Based on these definitions a borderline for the games and simulations will be provided. Results of study aim to guide the educational technology designers by better defining their education designs and better understanding their affect on the educational environments.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Systematical Review Study To Investigate the Use of Biometric Security Techniques in Automatic Teller Machines: Insight From the Past 15 Years(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Saad,A.M.S.E.In a Technological financial world where everything is progressing very fast and the amount of financial transactions through the automatic teller machines (ATM) on a daily basis is increasing. In parallel to these developments, fraudulent attacks and identity theft targeting to access the ATM and steal money or use bank accounts. Those attacks are always possible through the weak security points in the ATMs. The main aim of this study is to investigate and categorize the different approaches taken to overcome those weak security points by using biometric data along with some traditional methods. Accordingly, a systematical mapping was conducted by focusing on research studies published in the years 2004 to 2019 and addressing to the ATMs and biometric security technologies. After an intense investigation, 23 different systems were investigated using different single and multi-biometric models which make use of 8 different biometric technologies and 5 different traditional technologies as key components. As a conclusion from this research that researchers are leaning towards using biometric data in enhancing the security of the ATMs especially in the past 4 years more than they did before. © 2019 IEEE.Conference Object Naturalness Analysis of the Speech Synthesized by a Tts Card(Ieee, 2016) Tora, Hakan; Uslu, BaranIt is known that the performance of a developed text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis system is assessed by subjective tests. These assessments are usually based on the intelligibility and naturalness of the synthesized speech. In this study, an investigation on relating these subjective test results, thus the naturalness of the synthesized speech, to which acoustic features is accomplished. Consequently the features which will increase the performance while synthesizing the speech are determined. Our work is focused especially on the pitch frequency and energy parameters.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 12Design and Implementation of a Mobile Webcast Application With Google Analytics and Cloud Messaging Functionality(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019) Jonathan,O.; Misra,S.; Ibanga,E.; Maskeliunas,R.; Damasevicius,R.; Ahuja,R.Church cast is an application developed to bring the messages of ministries closer to their members by harnessing the Internet and mobile devices. Due to the very busy schedules of people and religious restrictions in some countries, people are not usually able to be physically present at their locations of worship to listen to or watch their ministers. Existing applications developed in the past like DOMI radio and Redemption TV Media were limited to only audio, poor and unintuitive user interfaces and not providing the administrator any interactions with the users of the application. In this work, we develop an Android-based application that makes it possible for users to watch live streams and on-demand videos from their ministries using their mobile devices. The application also incorporates sharing and analytics functionalities to enable users to share videos messages with loved ones and help the administrator monitor users' activities on the application respectively. The cloud messaging functionality enables the administrator to send messages such as announcements to user devices as push notifications. This would eventually increase user knowledge and interaction with the activities going on in their respective places of worship. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Conference Object Design and Fabrication of Dual-Frequency H-Shaped Antenna;(2013) Dagdeviren,B.; Yavuz Kapusuz,K.; Can,S.; Aydin,E.In this study, the parameters that effects the operating frequency of dual frequency H-shaped antenna are examined.

Processing text data that accumulates and grows exponentially every day requires the use of appropriate automation tools. Text classification, a Natural Language Processing task, has the potential to provide automatic text data processing. Many new models have been proposed to achieve much better results in text classification. The transformer model has been introduced recently to provide superior performance in terms of accuracy and processing speed in deep learning. In this article, we propose an improved Transformer model for text classification. The dataset containing information about the books was collected from an online resource and used to train the models. We witnessed superior performance in our proposed Transformer model compared to previous state-of-art models such as L S T M and CNN. © 2021 IEEEConference Object Citation - WoS: 86Citation - Scopus: 95Enhancement of Pem Fuel Cell Performance at Higher Temperatures and Lower Humidities by High Performance Membrane Electrode Assembly Based on Nafion/Zeolite Membrane(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Devrim, Yilser; Albostan, AyhanThis work reports the preparation of Nafion/zeolite composite membranes with different zeolite loading. The structure of the Nafion/zeolite composite membranes are investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The introduction of zeolite particles into the Nafion matrix helps to improve the water uptake, proton conductivity and thermal stability of the nanocomposite membranes compared to the virgin Nafion membrane. The SEM analyses have proved the uniform and homogeneous distribution of zeolite in composite membranes. The composite membranes are tested in a single PEMFC with a 5 cm(2) active area operating at the temperature range of 75-120 degrees C and in humidified under 50% relative humidity (RH) and fully humidified conditions. Single PEMFC tests show that Nafion/zeolite composite membrane is more stable and also performed better than virgin Nafion membrane at low humidity condition. The results indicate the Nafion/zeolite composite membranes could be utilized as the proton exchange membranes for PEMFC. Copyright (C) 2015, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
