Article Citation - WoS: 43Coupled Fixed Points for Meir-Keeler Contractions in Ordered Partial Metric Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Abdeljawad, Thabet; Aydi, Hassen; Karapinar, ErdalIn this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a new Meir-Keeler type coupled fixed point theorem for two mappings F : X x X -> X and g : X -> X on a partially ordered partial metric space. We present an application to illustrate our obtained results. Further, we remark that the metric case of our results proved recently in Gordji et al. (2012) have gaps. Therefore, our results revise and generalize some of those presented in Gordji et al. (2012)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. The results of this paper extend, generalize, and improve some fixed point theorems in the literature.Article Citation - WoS: 62Best Proximity Points for Generalized α-ψ-Proximal Contractive Type Mappings(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Jleli, Mohamed; Karapinar, Erdal; Samet, BessemWe introduce a new class of non-self-contractive mappings. For such mappings, we study the existence and uniqueness of best proximity points. Several applications and interesting consequences of our obtained results are derived.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: 13Citation - Scopus: 22Demiclosedness Principle for Total Asymptotically Nonexpansive Mappings in cat(0) Spaces(Hindawi Ltd, 2014) Karapinar, Erdal; Salahifard, Hero; Vaezpour, S. MansourWe prove the demiclosedness principle for a class of mappings which is a generalization of all the forms of nonexpansive, asymptotically nonexpansive, and nearly asymptotically nonexpansive mappings. Moreover, we establish the existence theorem and convergence theorems for modified Ishikawa iterative process in the framework of CAT(0) spaces. Our results generalize, extend, and unify the corresponding results on the topic in the literature.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 14Emergency Planning Zones Estimation for Karachi-2 and Karachi-3 Nuclear Power Plants using Gaussian Puff Model(Hindawi Ltd, 2016) Sahin, Sumer; Ali, MuhammadEmergency planning zones (PAZ and UPZ) around the Karachi-2 and Karachi-3 nuclear power plants (K-2/K-3 NPPs) have been realistically determined by employing Gaussian puff model and Gaussian plume model together for atmospheric transport, diffusion, and deposition of radioactive material using onsite and regional data related to meteorology, topography, and land-use along with latest IAEA Post-Fukushima Guidelines. The analysis work has been carried out using U.S. NRC computer code RASCAL 4.2. The assumed environmental radioactive releases provide the sound theoretical and practical bases for the estimation of emergency planning zones covering most expected scenario of severe accident and most recent multiunit Fukushima Accident. Sheltering could be used as protective action for longer period of about 04 days. The area about 3 km of K-2/K-3 NPPs site should be evacuated and an iodine thyroid blocking agent should be taken before release up to about 14 km to prevent severe deterministic effects. Stochastic effects may be avoided or minimized by evacuating the area within about 8 km of the K-2/K-3 NPPs site. Protective actions may become more effective and cost beneficial by using current methodology as Gaussian puff model realistically represents atmospheric transport, dispersion, and disposition processes in contrast to straight-line Gaussian plume model explicitly in study area. The estimated PAZ and UPZ were found 3 km and 8 km, respectively, around K-2/K-3 NPPs which are in well agreement with IAEA Post-Fukushima Study. Therefore, current study results could be used in the establishment of emergency planning zones around K-2/K-3 NPPs.Article Citation - WoS: 7Positive Solutions for Multipoint Boundary Value Problems for Singular Fractional Differential Equations(Hindawi Ltd, 2014) Jleli, Mohamed; Karapinar, Erdal; Samet, BessemA class of nonlinear multipoint boundary value problems for singular fractional differential equations is considered. By means of a coupled fixed point theorem on ordered sets, some results on the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions are obtained.Review Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5A Survey of Results on the Limit q-bernstein Operator(Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Ostrovska, SofiyaThe limit q-Bernstein operator B-q emerges naturally as a modification of the Szasz-Mirakyan operator related to the Euler distribution, which is used in the q-boson theory to describe the energy distribution in a q-analogue of the coherent state. At the same time, this operator bears a significant role in the approximation theory as an exemplary model for the study of the convergence of the q-operators. Over the past years, the limit q-Bernstein operator has been studied widely from different perspectives. It has been shown that. is a positive shape-preserving linear operator on C[0, 1] with parallel to B-q parallel to = 1. Its approximation properties, probabilistic interpretation, the behavior of iterates, and the impact on the smoothness of a function have already been examined. In this paper, we present a review of the results on the limit q-Bernstein operator related to the approximation theory. A complete bibliography is supplied.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 9Fixed Point Theorems for Various Classes of Cyclic Mappings(Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Aydi, Hassen; Karapinar, Erdal; Samet, BessemWe introduce new classes of cyclic mappings and we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for such mappings. The presented theorems generalize and improve several existing results in the literature.Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 83Text Messaging-Based Medical Diagnosis Using Natural Language Processing and Fuzzy Logic(Hindawi Ltd, 2020) Omoregbe, Nicholas A. I.; Ndaman, Israel O.; Misra, Sanjay; Abayomi-Alli, Olusola O.; Damasevicius, RobertasThe use of natural language processing (NLP) methods and their application to developing conversational systems for health diagnosis increases patients' access to medical knowledge. In this study, a chatbot service was developed for the Covenant University Doctor (CUDoctor) telehealth system based on fuzzy logic rules and fuzzy inference. The service focuses on assessing the symptoms of tropical diseases in Nigeria. Telegram Bot Application Programming Interface (API) was used to create the interconnection between the chatbot and the system, while Twilio API was used for interconnectivity between the system and a short messaging service (SMS) subscriber. The service uses the knowledge base consisting of known facts on diseases and symptoms acquired from medical ontologies. A fuzzy support vector machine (SVM) is used to effectively predict the disease based on the symptoms inputted. The inputs of the users are recognized by NLP and are forwarded to the CUDoctor for decision support. Finally, a notification message displaying the end of the diagnosis process is sent to the user. The result is a medical diagnosis system which provides a personalized diagnosis utilizing self-input from users to effectively diagnose diseases. The usability of the developed system was evaluated using the system usability scale (SUS), yielding a mean SUS score of 80.4, which indicates the overall positive evaluation.
