    Facial emotion recognition on a dataset using Convolutional Neural Network

    Tümen, Vedat; Söylemez, Ömer Faruk; Ergen, Burhan

    Nowadays, deep learning is a technique that takes place in many computer vision related applications and studies. While it is put in the practice mostly on content based image retrieval, there is still room for improvement by employing it in diverse computer vision applications. In this study, we aimed to build a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based Facial Expression Recognition System (FER), in order to automatically classify expressions presented in Facial Expression Recognition (FER2013) database. Our presented CNN achieved % 57.1 success rate on FER2013 database.

    Performance comparisons of current metaheuristic algorithms on unconstrained optimization problems

    Can, Umit; Alatas, Bilal

    Nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms have been recognized as powerful global optimization techniques in the last few decades.Many different metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been presented and successfully applied to different types of problems. In this paper; seven of newest metaheuristic algorithms namely, Ant Lion Optimization, Dragonfly Algorithm, Grey Wolf Optimization, Moth-Flame Optimization, Multi-Verse Optimizer, Sine Cosine Algorithm, and Whale Optimization Algorithm have been tested on unconstrained benchmark optimization problems and their performances have been reported. Some of these algorithms are based on swarm while some are based on biology and mathematics. Performance analysis of these novel search and optimization algorithms satisfying equal conditions on benchmark functions for the first time has given important information about their behaviors on unimodal and multi-modal optimization problems. These algorithms have been recently proposed and many new versions of them may be proposed in future for efficient results in many different types of search and optimization problems.

    Phase-ambiguity-free and accurate permittivity determination from waveguide measurements

    Hasar, U.C.; Buldu, G.

    A microwave method has been proposed for accurate and unique extraction of relative complex permittivity (ϵr) of dielectric materials from 2π phase-ambiguity-free amplitude-only two-port and one-port scattering parameter measurements. Improved accuracy has been shown by the applied uncertainty analysis. For the validation of our method, ϵr of low-loss and lossy samples was extracted.

    Conformal, concircular, quasi-conformal and conharmonic flatness on normal complex contact metric manifolds

    Vanli, Aysel Turgut; Unal, Inan

    Conformal, concircular, quasi-conformal and conharmonic curvature tensors play an important role in Riemannian geometry. In this paper, we study on normal complex contact metric manifolds under flatness conditions of these tensors.

    Smart Home Assistant for Ambient Assisted Living of Elderly People with Dementia

    Demir, Eren; Köseoǧlu, Erdem; Sokullu, Radosveta; Şeker, Burhan; Shakshuki, E.

    It is the nature of life that with advancing age human brain cells are damaged and brain functions degrade, which is manifested by memory loss, lack of concentration, reduced judgement abilities as well as speaking problems and even noticeable changes in personality and behavior. When a number of these symptoms collectively detected in a person, he usually diagnosed with dementia. These people have problems in managing their daily activities and shortly become unable to live by themselves. Ways to prolong the independent life of elderly people have drawn the attention of a large scientific community. In this paper, we present an integrated system design that allows collection, recording and transmission through a cloud application of the data from different sensors placed in a house of a person having dementia. The concept of this work is a part of the so-called Internet of Things (IoT) where information from smart things around us can be evaluated and transmitted over the internet. Peer-review under responsibility of the Conference Program Chairs.

    Regulation of signal transduction cascades by Pterostilbenes in different cancers: Is it a death knell for oncogenic pathways

    Butt, Ghazala; Attar, Rukset; Tabassum, Sobia; Aras, Aliye; Qadir, Muhammad Imran; Ozbey, Ulku; Alaaeddine, Nada; Ozcelik, Beraat; Farooqi, Ammad Ahmad

    Interdisciplinary research has revolutionized the field of medicine and we have witnessed exponential increase in the high-impact research in past few decades. However, the road to this burgeoning research field is obstacle-ridden because of intratumor heterogeneity, loss of apoptosis and dysregulation of spatio-temporally controlled signaling pathways. Ground-breaking findings obtained through genetic, genomic and proteomic studies have considerably improved our concepts related to the complexity of protein network and excitingly, discovery of miRNAs has added another layer of intricacy to quantitatively regulated gene networks. In this review, we chronicle the milestone achievements and discuss how Pterostilbenes effectively regulated different cellular pathways. We have provided detailed mechanistic insights related to regulation of JAK-STAT signaling, Notch pathway, Wnt mediated intracellular signaling by pterostilbene. Underlying mechanisms about regulation of PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways by pterostilbene in different cancers. Regulation of Metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) proteins and Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in cancer cells by pterostilbene. Pterostilbene has also been reported to modulate the expression of various oncogenic and tumor suppressor microRNAs in cancer cells. Better and sharper comprehension of the concepts associated with the modes of action of pterostilbene in different cancers will be useful in identification of cancers which can be efficiently targeted by pterostilbene.

    Adsorption of hazardous crystal violet dye by almond shells and determination of optimum process conditions by taguchi method

    Goksu, Ali; Tanaydin, Mehmet Kayra

    Almond shells are classified as an agricultural waste of the food industry. In this study, almond shells were prepared as efficient adsorbents for removing Crystal Violet (CV) dye. The effects of adsorbent dosage, pH, initial concentration, shaking speed, temperature and particle size were studied. The Taguchi L25 experimental design method was used to obtain the optimum experimental condition. The data were analyzed using the signal to noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for removal of CV from aqueous solutions. The isotherm data were obtained from the experiments performed. The obtained isotherm data were analyzed via the Langmuir, Freundlich and Temkin isotherm models of which the Langmuir isotherm model fitted the best. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH°, ΔS° and ΔG° were calculated and the results were 18.5 kJ/mol, 0.057 kJ/mol K and –1.514 kJ/mol at 25°C, respectively. The results of this study indicate that almond shells are efficient adsorbents for removing Crystal Violet (CV) from aqueous solutions. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 1.075 mg/g on the almond shells. Adsorption kinetics studies showed that adsorption data can be modeled by a pseudo-second-order model. The optimum conditions for the adsorption on almond shells were found to be: adsorbent dosage = 0.5 g, concentration = 4 ppm, pH = 6, shaking speed = 200 rpm and shaking time = 180 min.

    Investigation of various travelling wave solutions to the extended (2+1)-dimensional quantum ZK equation

    Baskonus, Haci Mehmet; Bulut, Hasan; Sulaiman, Tukur Abdulkadir

    In this paper, with the aid of the Wolfram Mathematica 9 program, we obtain some novel complex hyperbolic function solutions to the extended (2+1)-dimensional quantum Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation by using the sine-Gordon expansion method. We find some complex and hyperbolic function solutions. Subsequently, we plot 2D surfaces representing the obtained solutions by considering some suitable values of the parameters. At the end of this paper, we compare our results with the existing results in the literature by presenting comprehensive conclusions.
