Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 39A Computationally Efficient Method for Hybrid Eeg-Fnirs Bci Based on the Pearson Correlation(Hindawi Ltd, 2020) Hasan, Mustafa A. H.; Khan, Muhammad U.; Mishra, DeeptiA hybrid brain computer interface (BCI) system considered here is a combination of electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). EEG-fNIRS signals are simultaneously recorded to achieve high motor imagery task classification. This integration helps to achieve better system performance, but at the cost of an increase in system complexity and computational time. In hybrid BCI studies, channel selection is recognized as the key element that directly affects the system's performance. In this paper, we propose a novel channel selection approach using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, where only highly correlated channels are selected from each hemisphere. Then, four different statistical features are extracted, and their different combinations are used for the classification through KNN and Tree classifiers. As far as we know, there is no report available that explored the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient for hybrid EEG-fNIRS BCI channel selection. The results demonstrate that our hybrid system significantly reduces computational burden while achieving a classification accuracy with high reliability comparable to the existing literature.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 20Coupled Coincidence Point Theorem in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces Via Implicit Relation(Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Nguyen Manh Hung; Karapinar, Erdal; Nguyen Van LuongWe prove a coupled coincidence point theorem for mappings F : X x X -> X and g : X -> X, where F has the mixed g-monotone property, in partially ordered metric spaces via implicit relations. Our result extends and improves several results in the literature. Examples are also given to illustrate our work.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 9On Cyclic Generalized Weakly c-contractions on Partial Metric Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Karapinar, Erdal; Rakocevic, VladimirWe give new results of a cyclic generalized weakly C-contraction in partial metric space.

MCDMs have been used in different ways and with several applications that proved their efficiency in achieving this goal. In this research, the advantages and disadvantages of the different MCDM methodologies are studied, along with the different techniques implemented to increase their accuracy and precision. The main aim of the study is to develop a hybrid MCDM process that combines the strengths of several MCDM methods and apply it to choose the best fit maintenance policy/strategy for industrial application. Moreover, fuzzy linguistic terms are utilized in all of the used MCDM techniques in order to eliminate the uncertainty and ambiguity of the results. Through an extensive literature review performed on studies that have used MCDM methods in a hybrid context and using fuzzy linguistic terms, a model is developed to use fuzzy DEMATEL-AHP-TOPSIS hybrid technique. The model with its application is the first of its kind, which combines the strengths of fuzzy DEMATEL in establishing interrelationships between several criteria, as well as performing a pairwise comparison between the criteria for prioritization using the fuzzy AHP method. Thereafter, the alternatives are compared using fuzzy TOPSIS method by establishing negative and positive solutions and calculating the relative closeness for each of the alternatives. Furthermore, six main criteria, twenty criteria, and five alternatives are selected from the literature for the model application.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 62Discussion on Α - Ψ Contractions on Generalized Metric Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2014) Karapinar, ErdalWe discuss the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of alpha - psi contractive mappings in complete generalized metric spaces, introduced by Branciari. Our results generalize and improve several results in the literature.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 9Experimental Simulation-Based Performance Evaluation of an Sms-Based Emergency Geolocation Notification System(Hindawi Ltd, 2017) Osebor, Isibor; Misra, Sanjay; Omoregbe, Nicholas; Adewumi, Adewole; Fernandez-Sanz, LuisIn an emergency, a prompt response can save the lives of victims. This statement generates an imperative issue in emergency medical services (EMS). Designing a system that brings simplicity in locating emergency scenes is a step towards improving response time. This paper therefore implemented and evaluated the performance of an SMS-based emergency geolocation notification system with emphasis on its SMS delivery time and the system's geolocation and dispatch time. Using the RAS metrics recommended by IEEE for evaluation, the designed system was found to be efficient and effective as its reliability stood within 62.7% to 70.0% while its availability stood at 99% with a downtime of 3.65 days/year.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 7Some Almost Generalized (ψ, Φ)-Contractions in g-metric Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Aydi, Hassen; Amor, Sana Hadj; Karapinar, ErdalIn this paper, we introduce some almost generalized (psi, phi)-contractions in the setting of G-metric spaces. We prove some fixed points results for such contractions. The presented theorems improve and extend some known results in the literature. An example is also presented.Article Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 19Use of Uhpc in Bridge Structures: Material Modeling and Design(Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Gunes, Oguz; Yesilmen, Seda; Gunes, Burcu; Ulm, Franz-JosephUltra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a promising new class of concrete material that is likely to make a significant contribution to addressing the challenges associated with the load capacity, durability, sustainability, economy, and environmental impact of concrete bridge infrastructures. This paper focuses on the material modeling of UHPC and design of bridge girders made of UHPC. A two-phase model used for modeling the behavior of UHPC was briefly discussed, and the model was implemented in a preliminary design case study. Based on the implemented design and the reported use of UHPC in bridge applications, the advantages, limitations, and future prospects of UHPC bridges were discussed, highlighting the need for innovative research and design to make optimum use of the favorable properties of the material in bridge structures.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Concentration Dependent Different Action of Progesterone on the Order, Dynamics and Hydration States of the Head Group of Dipalmitoyl-Phosphatidylcholine Membrane(Hindawi Ltd, 2005) Korkmaz, F; Kirbiyik, H; Severcan, FInteractions of progesterone with zwitterionic dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilamellar liposomes (MLVs) were investigated as a function of progesterone concentration at selected temperatures monitoring both the gel and liquid crystalline phase, by using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It has been show that the effect of progesterone on membrane dynamics is dependent on progesterone concentration. At 1 mol%, which is close to physiological level, progesterone behaves differently. At this concentration the decrease in dynamics is more noticeable. Additionally a dramatic decrease in the strength of hydrogen bonding in the interfacial region of the bilayer is also observed. When concentration increases up to 12 mol% opposite behaviour is observed at all interactions. Above 12 mol%, progesterone-DPPC interactions shows almost linear plot.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 8Coupled Coincidence Point and Coupled Fixed Point Theorems via Generalized Meir-Keeler Type Contractions(Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Aydi, Hassen; Karapinar, Erdal; Erhan, Inci M.We prove coupled coincidence point and coupled fixed point results of F : X x X -> X and g : X -> X involving Meir-Keeler type contractions on the class of partially ordered metric spaces. Our results generalize some recent results in the literature. Also, we give some illustrative examples and application.
