Yayın Investigating the thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence source trap in fired geological quartz(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-03) Koul, Dileep K.; Patil, Pravinkumar G.; Oniya, Ebenezer O.; Polymeris, George S.The pre-dosed thermoluminescence (TL) emission of quartz has been found to be useful in retrospective dosimetry and archaeometry. Though the pre-dosed optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and emissions have been reported to be similar, the former has been found to be un-reliable for the equivalent dose estimation. As this measurement protocol involves thermal heating at around 400 degrees C, the work reported in this paper investigated the influence of this heating on the OSL using fired specimens from various regions. The results suggested that the discrepancy in the behaviour of two emissions is caused by the presence of the thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) induced by thermal-activation involved in the pre-dose treatment. This transferred signal was observed to be very significant in the case of samples containing a prominent higher-temperature TL peak at similar to 375 degrees C. The characterization of this signal based on (i) the nature of the glow curves, (ii) thermal-annealing of the OSL trap, (iii) observation of the TT-OSL, (iv) bleaching of the source trap and (v) the correlation between TL and OSL seems to suggest that the trap corresponding to this TL peak is the source trap in the TT-OSL emission mechanism.Yayın Evaluation of proactive maintenance policies on a stochastically dependent hidden multi-component system using DBNs(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-07) Özgür Ünlüakın, Demet; Türkali, BusenurIn complex systems with stochastically dependent components which are not observed directly, determining an effective maintenance policy is a difficult task. In this paper, a dynamic Bayesian network based maintenance decision framework is proposed to evaluate proactive maintenance policies for such systems. Two preventive and one predictive maintenance strategies from a cost perspective are designed for multi-component dependable systems which aim to reduce maintenance cost while increasing system reliability at the same time. Tabu procedure is employed to avoid repetitive similar actions. The performances of the policies are compared with a reactive maintenance strategy and also with each other using different strategy parameters on a real life system confronted in thermal power plants for six different scenarios. The scenarios are designed considering different structures of system dependability and reactive cost. The results show that the threshold based maintenance which is the predictive strategy gives the minimum cost and maintenance number in almost all scenarios.Yayın A multi-frequency iterative method for reconstruction of rough surfaces separating two penetrable media(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024-12-18) Sefer, Ahmet; Yapar, Ali; Bağcı, HakanA numerical scheme that uses multi-frequency Newton iterations to reconstruct a rough surface profile between two dielectric media is proposed. At each frequency sample, the scheme employs Newton iterations to solve the nonlinear inverse scattering problem. At every iteration, the Newton step is computed by solving a linear system that involves the Frechet derivative of the integral operator, which represents the scattered fields, and the difference between these fields and the measurements. This linear system is regularized using the Tikhonov method. The multi-frequency data is accounted for in a recursive manner. More specifically, the profile reconstructed at a given frequency is used as an initial guess for the iterations at the next frequency. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through numerical examples, which demonstrate its ability to accurately reconstruct surface profiles even in the presence of measurement noise. The results also show the superiority of the multi-frequency approach over single-frequency reconstructions, particularly in terms of handling surfaces with sharp variations.
