    Secrecy performance of full-duplex space-air integrated networks in the presence of active/passive eavesdropper, and friendly jammer
    (Wiley, 2024) Buyuksar, Ayse Betul; Erdoğan, Eylem; Altunbas, Ibrahim
    In this paper, a full-duplex (FD) space-air ground integrated network (SAGIN) system with passive and active eavesdroppers (PE/AE) and a friendly jammer (FJ) is investigated. The shadowing side information (SSI)-based unmanned aerial vehicle relay node (URN) selection strategy is considered to improve signal-to-interference plus noise power ratio (SINR) at the ground destination unit. To quantify the secrecy performance of the considered scenario, outage probability (OP), interception probability (IP), and transmission secrecy outage probability (TSOP) are investigated in the presence of FJ and PE/AE. The results have shown that aerial AE is an important threat since it can severely degrade the OP of the main transmission link. Furthermore, the FJ can decrease the IP of the eavesdropper by causing interference with the cost of power consumption of URNs. Simulations are performed to verify the theoretical findings.

    A Comparative Study of Metaheuristic Feature Selection Algorithms for Respiratory Disease Classification
    (MDPI, 2024) Gürkan Kuntalp, D.; Özcan, N.; Düzyel, Okan; Kababulut, F.Y.; Kuntalp, M.
    The correct diagnosis and early treatment of respiratory diseases can significantly improve the health status of patients, reduce healthcare expenses, and enhance quality of life. Therefore, there has been extensive interest in developing automatic respiratory disease detection systems. Most recent methods for detecting respiratory disease use machine and deep learning algorithms. The success of these machine learning methods depends heavily on the selection of proper features to be used in the classifier. Although metaheuristic-based feature selection methods have been successful in addressing difficulties presented by high-dimensional medical data in various biomedical classification tasks, there is not much research on the utilization of metaheuristic methods in respiratory disease classification. This paper aims to conduct a detailed and comparative analysis of six widely used metaheuristic optimization methods using eight different transfer functions in respiratory disease classification. For this purpose, two different classification cases were examined: binary and multi-class. The findings demonstrate that metaheuristic algorithms using correct transfer functions could effectively reduce data dimensionality while enhancing classification accuracy. © 2024 by the authors.

    Liquid Metal-Controlled Dual-Band Doppler Radar for Enhanced Velocity Measurement
    (IEEE, 2024) Karatay, Anıl; Yaman, Fatih
    Doppler radars, which are critical instruments for velocity measurement, may need to be reconfigured to adapt to different environmental conditions or for ease of use. However, conventional electrical, optical, and physical reconfiguration methods often come with several disadvantages such as deteriorated radiation pattern, reduced radiation efficiency, and high cost. Therefore, the aim of this article is to integrate microwave components that can be controlled using liquid metal (LM) displacement into a Doppler radar to adjust its main lobe direction and operating frequency to the desired values and enhance the measurement capacity of the respective radar. Through this study, multiple parameters of an operational Doppler radar have been simultaneously adjusted using LM displacement exploitation for the first time, thus avoiding the shortcomings associated with conventional reconfiguration methods. To achieve this objective, initially, a back-to-back Vivaldi antenna operating at 2.45 GHz is designed, and beam switching ability is imparted to the structure using the LM displacement method. Subsequently, various techniques are used to convert the structure into a dual-band antenna capable of simultaneous operation at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz, ensuring the desired beam switching feature at both the frequencies. In addition, a power divider capable of switching between the two operating frequencies through LM assistance is proposed, and its integration into the radar system enables the control of both main lobe direction and frequency using the proposed method.

    A New Shapley-Based Feature Selection Method in a Clinical Decision Support System for the Identification of Lung Diseases
    (MDPI, 2023) Kababulut, Fevzi Yasin; Kuntalp, Damla Gurkan; Düzyel, Okan; Özcan, Nermin; Kuntalp, Mehmet
    The aim of this study is to propose a new feature selection method based on the class-based contribution of Shapley values. For this purpose, a clinical decision support system was developed to assist doctors in their diagnosis of lung diseases from lung sounds. The developed systems, which are based on the Decision Tree Algorithm (DTA), create a classification for five different cases: healthy and disease (URTI, COPD, Pneumonia, and Bronchiolitis) states. The most important reason for using a Decision Tree Classifier instead of other high-performance classifiers such as CNN and RNN is that the class contributions of Shapley values can be seen with this classifier. The systems developed consist of either a single DTA classifier or five parallel DTA classifiers each of which is optimized to make a binary classification such as healthy vs. others, COPD vs. Others, etc. Feature sets based on Power Spectral Density (PSD), Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), and statistical characteristics extracted from lung sound recordings were used in these classifications. The results indicate that employing features selected based on the class-based contribution of Shapley values, along with utilizing an ensemble (parallel) system, leads to improved classification performance compared to performances using either raw features alone or traditional use of Shapley values.

    Integrated Space Domain Awareness and Communication System
    (IEEE, 2023) Geçgel Çetin, Selen; Özbek, Berna; Karabulut Kurt, Güneş
    Space has been reforming and this evolution brings new threats that, together with technological developments and malicious intent, can pose a major challenge. Space domain awareness (SDA), a new conceptual idea, has come to the forefront. It aims sensing, detection, identification and countermeasures by providing autonomy, intelligence and flexibility against potential threats in space. In this study, we first present an insightful and clear view of the new space. Secondly, we propose an integrated SDA and communication (ISDAC) system for attacker detection. We assume that the attacker has advanced communication capabilities to vary attack scenarios, such as random attacks on some receiver antennas. To track random patterns and meet SDA requirements, a lightweight convolutional neural network architecture is developed. The proposed ISDAC system shows superior and robust performance under 12 different super-attacker configurations with a detection accuracy of over 97.8%. © 2023 IEEE.

    Görgül kip ayrıştırması kullanılarak optik faz kırınımında hassasiyet iyileştirilmesi
    (IEEE, 2023) Ataç, Enes; Dinleyici, Mehmet Salih
    Phase diffraction is a potent property used in transparent dielectric film characterization. The measured diffraction pattern on the camera is evaluated by matching numerically computed diffraction patterns to determine the optical properties of the ultra-thin films (refractive index, thickness, etc.). However, the obtained diffraction data is not only a nonlinear and non-stationary signal but also exhibits micron-scale variations, thus limiting the measurement accuracy. Therefore, it is challenging to identify shifts in minima and deviations in amplitude on diffraction data to extract information about the optical properties of phase objects. In this study, it is aimed to improve the thickness sensitivity of the system by applying Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to plane wave-based near-field phase diffraction data. Since EMD is very sensitive to abrupt changes in the signal due to the spatial frequency components, the nanoscale variations in the film thickness become more observable and detectable. Experimental outputs and numerical simulations show that the decomposition increases the thickness sensitivity comparing the classical matching technique.

    Parkinson hastalığı sınıflandırmasına yönelik ivmeölçer tabanlı zamanlama analizi
    (IEEE, 2023) Karaçalı, Bilge; Onay, Fatih
    Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by dopamine deficiency in the basal ganglia, resulting in cognitive and motor impairments. In this study, accelerometer signals were used to estimate the delay time between the command to start pedaling and the actual movement onset in three groups: healthy individuals (n=13), Parkinson's disease patients (n=13), and patients with freezing of gait symptoms (n=13). Features were extracted from the delay time distributions for each participant and subjected to a triple classification. Linear support vector machine achieved a classification accuracy of 69.2% for all participants. Notably, the average time to start pedaling was found to be significantly different among the three groups, and accelerometer-based timing analysis could be used as a diagnostic tool to assist clinical tests.

    Dalgacık gürültü giderme yöntemiyle mikrodalga bileşen karakterizasyonunun iyileştirilmesi
    (IEEE, 2023) Karatay, Anıl; Olcay, Bilal Orkan; Yaman, Fatih
    In this study, an efficient approach is presented to improve the characterization of various microwave components commonly used in communication and radar applications, such as antennas and power dividers. The components were initially simulated and then fabricated using the Computer Simulation Technology (CST) software. Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) measurements of the fabricated components were performed using a low-cost but noisy coaxial cable, and the measurement results were processed using a wavelet-based noise reduction method. For comparison purposes, the Haar and Daubechies-4 (DB4) wavelet functions were applied separately, and the results were examined. It was observed that the correlation and root mean square error between the ideal and measurement results improved in a positive direction with the noise reduction application. This approach provides significant cost and labor advantages, particularly when expensive elements such as gold and silver are used in coaxial cables that are physically free from noise. The experimental and numerical results show good agreement between the ideal simulation results and the filtered measurement results.

    Algıda gecikme ve kısa-ömürlü senkronizasyon temelli yeni bir hayali motor aktivite tanıma yaklaşımı
    (IEEE, 2023) Olcay, B. Orkan; Karaçalı, Bilge
    This study proposes a novel approach for investigating a brain-computer interface that considers the temporal organization of brain activity, explicitly accounting for perception latency. To this end, we aligned the onset of task periods with the concurrence of left parietal and parieto-occipital electrodes to obtain the timings of perception latencies. Then, activity-specific synchronization timings between channel pairs were calculated using the time-aligned task periods. The perception latency and activity-specific synchronization timings were subsequently used for feature extraction and classification. The proposed approach achieved significantly better performance when comparing the proposed approach with the method that did not account for the perception latency

    A New Method for Gan-Based Data Augmentation for Classes With Distinct Clusters
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Kuntalp, Mehmet; Düzyel, Okan
    Data augmentation is a commonly used approach for addressing the issue of limited data availability in machine learning. There are various methods available, including classical and modern techniques. However, when applying modern data augmentation methods, such as Generative Adversarial Neural Networks (GANs), to a class specific data, the resulting data can exhibit structural discrepancies. This study explores a different use of GANs as a data augmentation method that solves this problem using the electrocardiogram (ECG) signals in the MITBIH arrhythmia dataset as the example. We begin by examining the cluster structure of a specific class using tDistributed Stochastic Neighbor (t-SNE) method. Based on this cluster structure, we propose a new method for applying GANs to augment data for that class. We assess the effect of our method in a classification task using 1-D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), One vs one classifier (Ovo), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Random Forest as the classifiers. The results demonstrate that our proposed method could lead to better classification performance if a specific class has distinct clusters when compared to normal use of GANs.
