An algorithm for the symbolic computation of recursion operators for systems of nonlinear differential-difference equations (DDEs) is presented. Recursion operators allow one to generate an infinite sequence of generalized symmetries. The existence o...

This paper studies the extraction of semantic word relations found in Turkish lexicon. Main goal of the study is to build an effective lexical-conceptual database and contribute to natural language processing (NLP) studies in Turkish. Fundamental wor...

The aim of this study is to show the artificial neural network (ANN) on classification of mineral based on color values of pixels. Twenty two images were taken from the thin sections using a digital camera mounted on the microscope and transmitted to...

In this paper, a robust sensor fault detection and isolation (FDI) method based on the unknown input observer (UIO) approach is presented. The basic principle of unknown input observers is to decouple disturbances from the state estimation error. A s...

The dichotic listening (DL) paradigm has an important role in brain asymmetry studies at the behavioral level. In dichotic listening, the subjects are alerted by diotic or dichotic stimuli which are meaningless, consonant vowel syllables on both ears...

Thanks to its complexity, Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) has been one of the most intensively studied problems in computational mathematics. Although many solutions have been offered so far, all of them have yielded some disadvantages and none has...

This study measures the production efficiencies and total factor productivity changes of Hazelnut Agricultural Sales Cooperatives Unions (HASCUs) in Turkey over the period 2004-2008. Turkey produces %78.2 hazelnut production of world and gives servic...

Open canals are important water transfer structures used in water resources systems. As such, they may require substantial amount of investment depending on its length and cross section. Therefore, cross section design should be carried out on an opt...

Ensemble clustering is a promising approach that combines the results of multiple clustering algorithms to obtain a consensus partition by merging different partitions based upon well-defined rules. In this study, we use an ensemble clustering approa...

The marble factory in this study is a typical instance of a flow shop based production system. Adding new machines to the plant and/or introducing a new product may convert the actual layout to an inefficient one. Such cases may cause a significant i...
