    3D Palmprint Pose Estimation Using Stereo Camera

    Bingöl, Ozkan; Ekinci, Murat

    Although studies on the palm recognition systems achieving are high performance ratios, hygiene problems in contact systems and change of hand pose in contactless systems were encountered. 3D recognition systems is proposed for solve these problems. But, these systems did not find the opportunity to become widespread because of expensive technologies and low scanning speed. In this study was proposed a method for detemined pose variations of palmprint using stereo cameras and transferring patterns that to be used for recognition to 2D space. Thus, both a non-contact system will be obtained and can be used properties of strong 2D recognition systems.

    Catal, Hatice; Corumluoglu, Ozsen; Bayram, Bulent

    In this study, semi-automatic region-based digital image processing techniques were used to create 3-dimensional (3D) virtual model of talus bone. 5 ballerinas and 5 sedentary women have voluntarily been involved in to the study. Total 20 right and left feet have been used which have been taken from the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). We used 3D Doctor Software in this research. Image preprocessing, segmentation and 3D modeling steps were done respectively. Volume, area and length based various statistical ratios were computed according to the measurements. The comparisons have been accomplished by using these ratios for sedentary and ballerinas. As an outcome, some differences were found in talus of ballerina and sedentary women. We hope that the results from the biometric and reconstructive techniques carried out in this study will contribute to the present knowledge in orthopedics and digital image processing in this area.

    Self-deploying composite shell reflector antenna for Ku-band missions: 1.5 m diameter demonstrator

    Soykasap, Omer; Karakaya, Sukru; Kaplan, Erdar; Ilarslan, M; Ince, F; Kaynak, O; Basturk, S

    Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite shell reflectors have been developed for space borne antennas due to their light weight, high thermal stability, and high surface accuracy. In order to reduce launch cost and structural mass, compactly folding and self-deployment of the reflector is preferred. In this paper, the full-scale offset reflector with a diameter of 6 m was designed by introducing reinforcements in the central region. After modal analysis was carried out for full-scale reflector model, the suitability of design was determined and 1/4-scaled version was manufactured. The experiments of the demonstrator were conducted for modal analysis, folding, dynamic deployment behavior and surface accuracy. As a result of study, new reflector model was successfully designed with low-mass, manufacturing ease, lower cost and has a monolithic structure, which two opposite edges of the reflector can be rolled toward the center of the reflector for packaging.

    The effect of integration types on FLC based MPPT systems

    Cakmak, Recep; Altas, Ismail H.

    Operating the photovoltaic (PV) array at its maximum power available is important to increase system efficiency. In order to operate PV systems at their maximum power point, many maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods have been proposed. Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based MPPT methods have some advantages over classical MPPT methods. The way of using the FLC outputs has an effective role in obtaining the desired results. In this study, the effect of a discrete-time integration method investigated in MPPT including FLC whose output is subjected to integration operation. The system has been designed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink software. The results were given as a comparison.

    Genetic algorithm in Electrical Transmission Lines path finding problems

    Eroglu, Hasan; Aydin, Musa

    Today, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) solutions have entered every corner of the engineering studies like Electrical Transmission Lines (ETL) route optimization, vehicle routing, power plant siting and so on. Raster-based maps generated by GIS are very useful solutions for this kind of route optimization problems. The weighted sum of all the data can be converted to raster-based maps and gathered consecutively in GIS for ETL route optimization. In this paper, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to ETL route optimization problems in order to find the best route on raster-based maps.

    Revisiting graphical passwords for augmenting, not replacing, text passwords

    Akpulat, Murat; Bicakci, Kemal; Cil, Ugur

    Users generally choose weak passwords which can be easily guessed. On the other hand, adoption of alternatives to text passwords has been slow due to cost and usability factors. We acknowledge that incumbent passwords remain difficult to beat and introduce in this study Type&Click (T&C), a hybrid scheme supporting text passwords with the graphical passwords. In T&C, users first type a text as usual and then make a single click on an image to complete the password entry. While largely preserving the login experience with the text passwords, the new scheme utilizes accumulated scientific knowledge in graphical password research (implicit feedback, persuasion during password creation, leveraging cued recall memory). The results of our user study suggest that T&C is promising for augmenting text passwords for improved security without degrading usability. Copyright 2013 ACM.

    Strategic Diversity Management Initiatives: A Descriptive Study

    Besler, Senem; Sezerel, Hakan; Ozsahin, M; Zehir, C

    The study presents a brief literature on diversity management, affirmative action, and equal employment opportunity concepts perspectives, and explores how diversity management takes place in the hotel industry via websites of the biggest hotel groups in Turkey. Recent strategic human resources strategies have reoriented from addressing the average employee stereotype to the employee with diversified skills, backgrounds, cultural competencies and the effects of globalization identities, organization are confronted with the challenge of recognizing and managing diversity. In the study, diversity related human resource management statements and diversity management statements within the given literature are taken into account and interpreted. Data suggests that regarding preceding studies, the biggest hotels groups in Turkey generally do not communicate with the internal and external shareholders about diversity-related issues. Out of 15 entities, only one organization with domestic-based capital has mentioned statements and all the foreign capital organizations have in their websites, but not in Turkish.

    The Effects of Types and Content of Fibers on Mechanical Properties of Cementitious Composites

    Çavdar, Ahmet; Ozkul, MH; Atahan, HN; Dogan, UA; Pekmezci, BY; Sengul, O

    In this study, four different types of fibers are added to cement mortars and it is aimed to investigate their mechanical contributions to mortars, comparatively. Polypropylene (PP), carbon (CF), glass (GF) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers are chosen as fibers to research. These fibers are added into mortars five different ratios (0.0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.50% and 2.0%) by volume. The mechanical properties investigated are flexural strength, deflection and compressive strength of the cement mortars. These properties are determined under two conditions, one of two is saturated surface dry (SSD) and second one is oven dry (OD). It is concluded that each fibers contributes the mechanical properties of mortars in different addition ratios. PVA fibers show the best performance of the fibers investigated in this study. Fibers present best performance at OD condition.

    Acetohydrazide derivative for selective separation and preconcentration of Cu(II) ions by coprecipitation method without using a carrier element

    Ozdes, Duygu; Duran, Celal; Bektaş, Hakan; Tufekci, Mehmet; Soylak, Mustafa

    A simple and rapid procedure based on the combination of carrier element free coprecipitation (CEFC) and flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) determinations has been developed for selective separation and preconcentration of Cu(II) ions in some environmental solid (Turkish and import coffee) and liquid (sea and stream waters) samples. In this method, acetohydrazide derivative was used as an organic coprecipitant without adding any carrier element for coprecipitation of Cu(II) ions. The preconcentration factor was found to be 50, the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.31 μgL -1, while the relative standard deviation (RSD) was found to be 1.6% for Cu(II) ions.
