Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Temporal Electroencephalography Features Unveiled Via Olfactory Stimulus as Biomarkers for Mild Alzheimer's Disease(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Olcay, Bilal Orkan; Pehlivan, Murat; Karacali, BilgeAim: Our primary aim is to capture and use the timings of the characteristic brain responses to olfactory stimulation for mild Alzheimer's disease diagnosis purposes. Proposed method: Our method identifies the timings of short-lived signal segments where characteristic distances between pre- and post-stimulus relative spectral energies are attained for each EEG channel and frequency band. These timings and timing-derived features were subsequently used in a leave-one-subject-out cross-validation scenario to assess the diagnostic performance of our framework. We evaluated seven distinct statistical distance measures to determine the most effective one for characterizing the neurological conditions of the subjects. Results: The average cross-validation performance shows that our framework achieved 87.50% diagnosis performance. The frequently used features were mainly derived from the delta and alpha activity of the prefrontal region (Fp1) and the beta activity of the parietal region (Pz), which agree with the current findings of olfaction biophysics. Comparison with existing methods: We compared the performance of our method with that of four existing methods in the literature. Our method outperformed these four methods. Moreover, our method elicited the highest accuracy when the clinical olfactory score (UPSIT) was included as a feature. Conclusions: Our analysis framework reveals a significant alteration of the timing organization of the brain that emerged upon olfactory stimulation in Alzheimer's patients. The timings of characteristic response and the features calculated via these timings contribute to Alzheimer's disease diagnosis performance remarkably. The perspective proposed here may facilitate early diagnosis, thereby facilitating the exploration of novel therapeutic and treatment strategies.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 10Using Chemosensory-Induced Eeg Signals To Identify Patients With <i>de Novo</I> Parkinson's Disease(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Olcay, Orkan; Onay, Fatih; Ozturk, Guliz Akin; Oniz, Adile; Ozgoren, Murat; Hummel, Thomas; Guducu, CagdasObjective: Parkinson's disease (PD) patients generally exhibit an olfactory loss. Hence, psychophysical or electrophysiological tests are used for diagnosis. However, these tests are susceptible to the subjects' behavioral response bias and require advanced techniques for an accurate analysis. Proposed Approach: Using well-known feature extraction methods, we characterized chemosensory-induced EEG responses of the participants to classify whether they have PD. The classification was performed for different time intervals after chemosensory stimulation to see which temporal segment better separates healthy controls and subjects with de novo PD. Results: The performances show that entropy and connectivity features discriminate effectively PD and HC participants when olfactory-induced EEG signals were used. For these methods, discrimination is over 80% for segments 100-700 and 200-800 milliseconds after stimulus onset. Comparison with Existing Methods: We compared the performance of our framework with linear predictive coding, bispectrum, wavelet entropy-based methods, and TDI score-based classification. While the entropy- and connectivity-based methods elicited the highest classification performances for olfactory stimuli, the linear predictive coding-based method elicited slightly higher performance than our framework when the trigeminal stimuli were used. Conclusion: This is one of the first studies that use chemosensory-induced EEG signals along with different feature extraction methods to classify healthy subjects and subjects with de novo PD. Our results show that entropy and functional connectivity methods unravel the chemosensory-induced neural dynamics encapsulating critical information about the subjects' olfactory performance. Furthermore, time- and frequency-resolved feature analysis is beneficial for capturing disease-affected neural patterns.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Identification of Turkish Extra Virgin Olive Oils Produced in Different Regions by Using Nmr (h-1 and C-13) and Irms (c-13/C-12)(Wiley, 2023) Sevim, Didar; Köseoğlu, Oya; Ertaş, Hasan; Özdemir, Durmuş; Ulaş, Mehmet; Günnaz, Salih; Çelenk, Veysel UmutIsotope ratio mass spectroscopy (IRMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques are two of the analytical methods that are used to characterize food products. The aim of this study is to classify extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) samples collected from different regions of Turkey based on H-1 and C-13 NMR spectra along with IRMS d(13)C carbon isotope ratio data by using chemometrics multivariate data analysis methods. A total of 175 EVOO samples were analyzed in 2014/15 and 2015/16 harvest seasons. Multivariate classification and clustering models were used to identify geographical and botanical origins of the EVOOs. IRMS results showed that there was no significant difference in terms of d(13)C values between the years in terms of harvest year (p > 0.05), only extraction phase and variety were statistically significant factors (p < 0.05). The interactions of the factors showed that the harvest year x variety interaction is important. The outcomes of this research clearly indicated that considering the partial least squares discriminant analysis result with NMR spectra, the percent success of the model in the South Marmara, North Aegean, and South Aegean region samples were 95%, 95.7%, and 96.4% in the model set, respectively. The results showed that by using classification and clustering models, geographic marking and labeling of these oils can be carried out regardless of differences in year and production systems (2 and 3 phase extraction system) according the NMR analysis.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11The Utilization of Supervised Classification Sampling for Environmental Monitoring in Turin (italy)(MDPI, 2021) Salata, StefanoIn a world threatened by climate change, the need to observe the land transformation is crucial to set environmental policies. One of the most prominent issues of environmental monitoring is the availability of updated and reliable land use data. The last land-use release in Piedmont Region (Italy) is in 2010, while the most updated Normalized Difference Vegetation Index is in 2016. To overcome this limit, in this study, a supervised classification sampling has been applied on a Sentinel-2 image produced by the Copernicus Program on 29 September 2020, using Esri ArcGIS (ver.10.8 Redlands, California, US) by accessing via ONDA-DIAS services to L2A products. After land classification, three maps were generated-the Habitat Quality, the Habitat Decay, and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. This study aimed at classifying the environmental status in five classes ranging from critical to health with a double perspective-(i) to make a comparative metropolitan assessment between municipalities and (ii) to evaluate the quality of urban public green areas in the city of Turin while defining a different kind of intervention. Results indicate that products derived from supervised classification sampling can be applied in a wide range of applications while reaching seasonal monitoring of the environmental status and delivering just-in-time solutions.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 12The Impact of Feature Selection on One and Two-Class Classification Performance for Plant Micrornas(PeerJ Inc., 2016) Khalifa, Waleed; Yousef, Malik; Saçar Demirci, Müşerref Duygu; Allmer, JensMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short nucleotide sequences that form a typical hairpin structure which is recognized by a complex enzyme machinery. It ultimately leads to the incorporation of 18-24 nt long mature miRNAs into RISC where they act as recognition keys to aid in regulation of target mRNAs. It is involved to determine miRNAs experimentally and, therefore, machine learning is used to complement such endeavors. The success of machine learning mostly depends on proper input data and appropriate features for parameterization of the data. Although, in general, two-class classification (TCC) is used in the field; because negative examples are hard to come by, one-class classification (OCC) has been tried for pre-miRNA detection. Since both positive and negative examples are currently somewhat limited, feature selection can prove to be vital for furthering the field of pre-miRNA detection. In this study, we compare the performance of OCC and TCC using eight feature selection methods and seven different plant species providing positive pre-miRNA examples. Feature selection was very successful for OCC where the best feature selection method achieved an average accuracy of 95.6%, thereby being ~29% better than the worst method which achieved 66.9% accuracy. While the performance is comparable to TCC, which performs up to 3% better than OCC, TCC is much less affected by feature selection and its largest performance gap is ~13% which only occurs for two of the feature selection methodologies. We conclude that feature selection is crucially important for OCC and that it can perform on par with TCC given the proper set of features.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 28Classification of Turkish Monocultivar (ayvalık and Memecik Cv.) Virgin Olive Oils From North and South Zones of Aegean Region Based on Their Triacyglycerol Profiles(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2013) Gökçebag, Mümtaz; Dıraman, Harun; Özdemir, DurmuşIn this study, a total of 22 domestic monocultivar (AyvalIk and Memecik cv.) virgin olive oil samples taken from various locations of the Aegean region, the main olive growing zone of Turkey, during two (2001-2002) crop years were classified and characterized by well-known chemometric methods (principal component analysis [PCA] and hierarchical cluster analysis [HCA]) on the basis of their triacylglycerol (TAG) components. The analyses of TAG components (LLL and major fractions LOO, OOO, POO, PLO, SOO, and ECN 42-ECN 50) in the oil samples were carried out according to the HPLC method described in a European Union Commission (EUC) regulation. In all analyzed samples the value of trilinolein (LLL), the least abundant TAG, did not exceed the maximum limit of 0.5 % given by the EUC regulation for different olive oil grades. The ranges of abundant TAG, namely LOO, OOO, POO, PLO, and SOO, were 13.30-16.08, 37.27-46.36, 21.39-23.24, 4.93-7.03, and 4.72-6.00 %. The TAG data of Aegean virgin olive oils were similar to those of products from important olive-oil-producing Mediterranean countries was determined. Also, the estimation of major fatty acids (FA) was carried out by using a formula based on TAG data. The PCA results showed that some TAG components have an important role in the characterization and geographical classification of 22 monocultivar virgin olive oil. The Aegean virgin olive oil samples were successfully classified and discriminated into two main groups as the North and South (growing) subzones or AyvalIk and Memecik olives (cultivars) according to the HCA results based on experimental TAG data and calculated major FA profile.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Classification of Turkish Extra Virgin Olive Oils by a Saw Detector Electronic Nose(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2011) Kadiroğlu, Pınar; Korel, Figen; Tokatlı, FigenAn electronic nose (e-nose), in combination with chemometrics, has been used to classify the cultivar, harvest year, and geographical origin of economically important Turkish extra virgin olive oils. The aroma fingerprints of the eight different olive oil samples [Memecik (M), Erkence (E), Gemlik (G), Ayvalik (A), Domat (D), Nizip (N), Gemlik-Edremit (GE), Ayvalik-Edremit (AE)] were obtained using an e-nose consisting a surface acoustic wave detector. Data were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant function analysis (DFA). Classification of cultivars using PCA revealed that A class model was correctly discriminated from N in two harvest years. The DFA classified 100 and 97% of the samples correctly according to the cultivar in the 1st and 2nd harvest years, respectively. Successful separation among the harvest years and geographical origins were obtained. Sensory analyses were performed for determining the differences in the geographical origin of the olive oils and the preferences of the panelists. The panelists could not detect the differences among olive oils from two different regions. The cultivar, harvest year, and geographical origin of extra virgin olive oils could be discriminated successfully by the e-nose.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 31Dynamic Replication Strategies in Data Grid Systems: A Survey(Springer Verlag, 2015) Tos, Uras; Mokadem, Riad; Hameurlain, Abdelkader; Ayav, Tolga; Bora, ŞebnemIn data grid systems, data replication aims to increase availability, fault tolerance, load balancing and scalability while reducing bandwidth consumption, and job execution time. Several classification schemes for data replication were proposed in the literature, (i) static vs. dynamic, (ii) centralized vs. decentralized, (iii) push vs. pull, and (iv) objective function based. Dynamic data replication is a form of data replication that is performed with respect to the changing conditions of the grid environment. In this paper, we present a survey of recent dynamic data replication strategies. We study and classify these strategies by taking the target data grid architecture as the sole classifier. We discuss the key points of the studied strategies and provide feature comparison of them according to important metrics. Furthermore, the impact of data grid architecture on dynamic replication performance is investigated in a simulation study. Finally, some important issues and open research problems in the area are pointed out.
