    Energy dissipation characteristics of slab type buildings with special connectors
    (National Technical University of Athen, 2015-05-25) Şenol, Erkan; Dindar, Ahmet Anıl; Yüksel, Ercan; Karadoğan, Hüseyin Faruk
    The latest developments in the construction technologies and the materials facilitated the practicing engineers to go higher and energy-efficient buildings. However, the safety of the buildings and the residents has been an issue all the time. This is not an exception for the precast structures. The advantages of the precast elements are the quality assurance and the rapid erection on the site and challenged by the connection details and their performances during the extreme loading cases such as earthquakes. The utilization of a special mechanical connection of the precast members have been in the focus of the recent works in Istanbul Technical University (ITU-STEELAB). The prototypes of the proposed special connectors, called as cushion, were tested in STEELAB in order to determine the mechanical properties such as lateral and axial stiffness and the failure modes. Once the properties were determined, a hypothetical building of single story multi-bay slab type structure was modeled in the computer framework capable of substituting various parametric values into the model, processing and extracting the results for statistical analysis, SAMA. SAMA is developed based on the use of SAP 2000 OAPI functions called in MATLAB and Python scripts. In the hypothetical model, the cushions were modeled as link elements and placed between all the precast elements including foundation-cladding interface. Extensive non-linear time-history analysis was conducted to identify the damage localization by comparing the energy dissipation at each mechanical connector under ground motion records selected according to focal distance, site conditions and intensity. The preliminary results reveal that the cushions are effectively dissipating a significant amount of energy and mitigating the collapse of the precast elements. The more detailed conclusions will be discussed in the near future.

    Weakly nonlinear waves in a prestressed thin elastic tube containing a viscous fluid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 1999-11) Antar, Nalan; Demiray, Hilmi
    In this work, we studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in a prestressed thin elastic tube filled with an incompressible viscous fluid. In order to include the geometrical and structural dispersion into analysis, the wall's inertial and sheer deformation are taken into account in determining the inner pressure-inner cross sectional area relation. Using the reductive perturbation technique, the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves, in the long-wave approximation, is shown to be governed by the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB) equation. Due to dependence of coefficients of the governing equation on the initial deformation, the material and viscosity parameters, the profile of the travelling wave solution to the KdVB equation changes with these parameters. These variations are calculated numerically for some elastic materials and the effects of initial deformation and the viscosity parameter on the propagation characteristics are discussed.

    A new speech modeling method: SYMPES
    (IEEE, 2006) Güz, Ümit; Gürkan, Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa
    In this paper, the new method of speech modeling which is called SYMPES is introduced and it is compared with the commercially available methods. It is shown that for the same compression ratio or better, SYMPES yields considerably better hearing quality over the coders such as G.726 at 16 Kbps and voice excited LPC-10E of 2.4Kbps.

    Waves in fluid-filled elastic tubes with a stenosis: Variable coefficients KdV equations
    (Elsevier B.V., 2007-05-15) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, by treating the arteries as thin-walled prestressed elastic tubes with a stenosis and the blood as an inviscid fluid we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a medium, in the longwave approximation, by employing the reductive perturbation method. The variable coefficients KdV and modified KdV equations are obtained depending on the balance between the nonlinearity and the dispersion. By seeking a localized progressive wave type of solution to these evolution equations, we observed that the wave speeds takes their maximum values at the center of stenosis and gets smaller and smaller as one goes away from the stenosis. Such a result seems to reasonable from the physical point of view.

    A certain class of starlike log-harmonic mappings
    (Elsevier Science BV, 2014-11) Aydoğan, Seher Melike; Polatoğlu, Yaşar
    In this paper we investigate some properties of log-harmonic starlike mappings. For this aim we use the subordination principle or Lindelof Principle (Lewandowski (1961) [71).

    Pilot-aided bayesian MMSE channel estimation for OFDM systems: Algorithm and performance analysis
    (IEEE, 2004) Şenol, Habib; Çırpan, Hakan Ali; Panayırcı, Erdal
    This paper proposes a computationally efficient, pilot-aided minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimation algorithm for OFDM systems. The proposed approach employs a convenient representation of the discrete multipath fading channel based on the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) orthogonal expansion and estimates uncorrelated series expansion coefficients. Moreover, optimal rank reduction is achieved in the proposed approach by exploiting the optimal truncation property of the KL expansion resulting in a smaller computational load on the estimation algorithm. The performance of the proposed approach is studied through analytical and experimental results. We first consider the stochastic Cramer-Rao bound and derive the closed-form expression for the random KL coefficients. We then exploit the performance of the MMSE channel estimator based on the evaluation of minimum Bayesian MSE.

    A context-aware, AI-driven load balancing framework for incident escalation in SOCs
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-08-12) Abuaziz, Ahmed; Çeliktaş, Barış
    SOCs face growing challenges in incident management due to increasing alert volumes and the complexity of cyberattacks. Traditional rule-based escalation models often fail to account for the workload of the analyst, the severity of the incident, and the organizational context. This paper proposes a context-aware, AI-driven load balancing framework for intelligent analyst assignment and incident escalation. Our framework leverages large language models (LLMs) with retrievalaugmented generation (RAG) to evaluate incident relevance and historical assignments. A reinforcement learning (RL)-based scheduler continuously optimizes incident-to-analyst assignments based on operational outcomes, enabling the system to adapt to evolving threat landscapes and organizational structures. Planned simulations in realistic SOC environments will compare the model with traditional rule-based models using metrics such as Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR), workload distribution, and escalation accuracy. This work highlights the potential of AIdriven approaches to improve SOC performance and enhance incident response effectiveness.
