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 - WoS: 2Fem-Based Design Modifications and Efficiency Improvements of a Brushed Permanent Magnet Dc Motor(Ieee, 2017) Tarvirdilu-Asl, Rasul; Zeinali, Reza; Ertan, H. BulentThis paper describes design modifications of a brushed permanent magnet DC motor. Test motor is modeled using a Finite Element Method (FEM) based software. Model accuracy is investigated by comparing measurement and simulation results. Reducing material consumption in motor fabrication while the motor develops the desired torque at a higher efficiency is aimed in this paper. Modifications are done in three stages and simulations results are also presented. These results are also compared to simulation results of the test machine.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2A Proposal on Requirements for Cosmic Fsm Automation From Source Code(Ieee, 2016) Tarhan, Ayca; Ozkan, Baris; Icoz, Gonca CananAutomation of functional size measurement (FSM) process has increasingly gained importance since manual measurement is time-consuming, costly, and sometimes error-prone. There exist studies that automate measurement from different software artifacts such as requirements specifications, design models, and software code. In this study we review and compare four studies that we have carried out in recent years to automate COSMIC FSM from software code. Based on the comparison and the lessons learned, we derive an operational scenario for automated FSM from software code and propose a set of requirements that need to be considered in automation. We think the proposal will be helpful not only for our future studies and also for future work of interested researchers.Conference Object Distance Laboratory Applications Errl(Ieee, 2008) Aydin, C. C.; Turkmen, G.; Ozyurt, E.; Aydin, E. U.; Cagiltay, N. E.; Ozbek, M. E.; Kara, A.In the last decade, the effect of internet usage in education is gradually increased. When we look from academic perspective, the new technologies provided alternatives for students learning. As distance education becomes important everyday, the indispensable elements of teaching and education, laboratories must be reachable via remote connection. Consequently, the education that is going to be given to the students will be more flexible with respect to place and time constraints and students can reach laboratory facilities at any time and anywhere not only in lectures and practical hours. In this study, European Remote Radio Laboratory (ERRL) which is a distance remote Radio Frequency (RF) laboratory designed for electrical-electronics students, is described generally. The software architecture, infrastructure and experiment that can be done with a remote connection have been described.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 14Examination of Ev-Grid Integration Using Real Driving and Transformer Loading Data(Ieee, 2015) Erden, Fatih; Kisacikoglu, Mithat C.; Gurec, Ozan H.The growing environmental concerns and the increase in oil prices will lead to the proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) in the near future. The increase in the number of EVs, while providing green and inexpensive solutions to transportation needs, may cause constraints on the operation of the utility grid that should be investigated. In this paper, the real user driving information is collected from individual data tracking devices of passenger vehicle owners instead of assuming randomly distributed trip characteristics. The collected trip data are first analyzed to generate a statistical model of the trip characteristics in terms of home arrival times and state of charge (SOC) levels. The resulting model is then used to simulate and analyze the impact of EV integration in a real grid with different EV penetration levels. For this, real distribution transformer data provided by Baskent Electric Distribution Co. is used. The proposed method produces more realistic results in comparison to the studies assuming random scenarios.Conference Object An Experimental Study Towards Examining Human Body Movements in Indoor Wave Propagation at 18-22 Ghz(Ieee, 2018) Alabish, Ahmed; Kara, Ali; Dalveren, YaserAs 5G communication may use Millimeter waves (mmWave) bands, it is necessary to evaluate short-range indoor links from the link blockage point of view. This paper presents some initial studies for characterizing effects of human body movements on short range indoor links at 18 - 22 GHz. Firstly, measurement system is described, and then, calibration measurements along with initial results of the impact of human body movement on the channel are presented for some scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to experimentally examine the effects of human body movements at this band. Yet, as this study constitutes a part of an ongoing research, further results will be anticipated to present the effects of objects over and around the link on the directional propagation at mmWave bands (28 - 30 GHz).Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Gender Prediction by Using Local Binary Pattern and K Nearest Neighbor and Discriminant Analysis Classifications(Ieee, 2016) Camalan, Seda; Çamalan, Seda; Sengul, Gokhan; Şengül, Gökhan; Çamalan, Seda; Şengül, Gökhan; Information Systems Engineering; Computer Engineering; Information Systems Engineering; Computer EngineeringIn this study, gender prediction is investigated for the face images. To extract the features of the images, Local Binary Pattern (LBP) is used with its different parameters. To classify the images male or female, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and Discriminant Analysis (DA) methods are used. Their performances according to the LBP parameters are compared. Also classification methods' parameters are changed and the comparison results are shown. These methods are applied on FERET database with 530 female and 731 male images. To have better performance, the face parts of the images are cropped then feature extraction and classification methods applied on the face part of the images.Conference Object Design, Analysis and Manufacturing of Dielectric Rod Added Conical Rom Antennas(Ieee, 2016) Avcioglu, Esra; Özaslan, Alper; Caliskan, FatmaIn this study, ANSYS HFSS (High Frequency Structural Simulator) software had been used. By using this software, dielectric rod added conical horn antennas with various shapes and dimensions had been designed and analyzed. 5 (five) distinct antennas designed and their gains and return losses had been observed to evaluate the effects of the changes. From the results of these comparisons, the proper antenna type was selected and it was manufactured.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 11Towards Modeling Patterns for Embedded Software Industry: Feedback From the Field(Ieee, 2018) Akdur, Deniz; Demirors, Onur; Say, BilgeThe analysis, design, implementation and testing of software for embedded systems are not trivial. Software modeling is a commonly used approach in the embedded software industry to manage complexity of these phases. The modeling approaches vary since the characteristics of modeling such as its purpose, the medium type used, the lifecycle phase used, differ among systems and industrial sectors. Our previous research identified and defined the modeling approach patterns in embedded software development projects based on quantitative data. In this paper, to validate and improve the pre-investigated pattern set, we present a series of semi-structured interviews over eight months with 53 embedded software professionals across a variety of target industrial sectors and roles. With the help of these interviews, the different modeling approach patterns in embedded software development were better understood and the hidden patterns not evident in the previous study were identified along with a documentation of personalized modeling experiences.Conference Object An Rfid Based Location Finding and Tracking With Guidance(Ieee, 2008) Oktem, Rusen; Aydin, Elif Uray; Cagiltay, Nergiz ErcilThis paper tackles an RFID based location finding and tracking system. The system is an integral part of a navigation aid being developed for guiding visually disabled people in a store. The aid is composed of a portable hardware interface unit, a standalone RFID unit, and a central processing unit. The units interact via wireless communication to locate the position of the user in a known indoor environment and tracking his/her movement. An active RFID tag helps to estimate the location of a user and the user is guided to follow a route accordingly, via a tactile compass. The system uses RF signal strengths and is based on Bayes Decision Theory. Initial simulation results with the system prove promising for location finding and tracking, especially when the tracked person is guided by a system.
