Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Structural Performance of R/C Buildings in 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes Under the Lens of Hassan Index(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Dönmez, Cemalettin; Yesilyurt, Cennet; Gozun, Uveys; Ozturk, Baki; Donmez, Cemalettin; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 03.03. Department of Civil EngineeringStarting with the 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake, seismic damage indices have been developed to quantify damage potential. The late Professor Mete Sozen played a significant role in this endeavor by introducing the Hassan Index, which is an indirect measure of the robustness of structures. Its calculation is straightforward, given the vertical structural element dimensions at ground level. Various earthquakes worldwide, from Taiwan to Chile, have provided opportunities to assess its effectiveness across diverse building practices and earthquake characteristics. Following the February 2023 Kahramanmaras Earthquakes, a reconnaissance team was dispatched to gather field data to observe the damages through the lens of the Hassan Index. The study extended to cover all major city and town centers, studying around 250 reinforced concrete buildings with 2-16 stories. These buildings were all constructed after the 2000s. Hence, the data set sheds light on the performance of Turkish construction practices after the commencement of the 1998 Turkish Building code and the following earthquake regulations. By evaluating the newly gathered data alongside the existing dataset, a basis is established to consider the Hassan Index as a preliminary design index rather than solely as a seismic damage index.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6Discussion on the Causes of the Observed Damages in the 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Dönmez, Cemalettin; Comlekoglu, Hakki Gurhan; Ozturk, Baki; Donmez, Cemalettin; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 03.03. Department of Civil EngineeringThe devastating earthquakes in February 2023 in south-east Turkiye demonstrated that the Turkish built environment does not meet the needed performance. The frequency of earthquakes in Turkiye calls for urgent organization to upgrade the existing structures and avoid the repetition of deficient applications. Hence, it is necessary to identify the causes of the damage. The presented study concentrated on a subset of the existing inventory built under the governance of 1998 and later Turkish Earthquake Codes. Following the earthquakes in Kahramanmaras, Turkiye, a reconnaissance study was conducted to understand the causes of the damage incurred. The extensive study covered all the major city and town centers, specifically concentrating on the 2- to 16-story reinforced concrete buildings. The first impression of the data gathered indicates significant detailing imperfections. Poor drift control, inferior layout preferences, and non-structural detailing issues are the other suspects. The observed damage and the current seismic regulation requirements will be critically discussed to form a basis for possible future improvements to the seismic code.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 25Search for Supersymmetry in Pp Collisions at √s = 13 TeV in the Single-Lepton Final State Using the Sum of Masses of Large-Radius Jets(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2016) Khachatryan, V.; Sirunyan, A. M.; Tumasyan, A.; Adam, W.; Asilar, E.; Bergauer, T.; Woods, N.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyResults are reported from a search for supersymmetric particles in protonproton collisions in the final state with a single, high transverse momentum lepton; multiple jets, including at least one b-tagged jet; and large missing transverse momentum. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2: 3 fb(-1) at root s = 13TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The search focuses on processes leading to high jet multiplicities, such as gluino pair production with (g) over tilde -> t (t) over bar(chi) over tilde (0)(1) . The quantity M-J, defined as the sum of the masses of the large-radius jets in the event, is used in conjunction with other kinematic variables to provide discrimination between signal and background and as a key part of the background estimation method. The observed event yields in the signal regions in data are consistent with those expected for standard model backgrounds, estimated from control regions in data. Exclusion limits are obtained for a simplified model corresponding to gluino pair production with three-body decays into top quarks and neutralinos. Gluinos with a mass below 1600 GeV are excluded at a 95% confidence level for scenarios with low (chi) over tilde (0)(1) mass, and neutralinos with a mass below 800 GeV are excluded for a gluino mass of about 1300 GeV. For models with two-body gluino decays producing on-shell top squarks, the excluded region is only weakly sensitive to the top squark mass.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Engineering Free-Standing Electrospun Pllcl Fibers on Microfluidic Platform for Cell Alignment(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Yildirim-Semerci,Ö.; Arslan-Yildiz,A.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyHere, a PLLCL-on-chip platform was developed by direct electrospinning of poly (L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLLCL) on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microfluidic chips. Designed microchip provides the electrospinning of free-standing aligned PLLCL fibers which eliminates limitations of conventional electrospinning. Besides, aligned fiber structure favors cell alignment through contactless manipulation. Average fiber diameter, and fiber alignment was evaluated by SEM analyses, then, leakage profile of microchip was investigated. 3D cell culture studies were conducted using HeLa and NIH-3T3 cells, and nearly 85% cell viability was observed in PLLCL-on-chip for 15 days, while cell viability of 2D control started to decrease after 7 days based on Live dead and Alamar Blue analyses. These findings emphasize biocompatibility of PLLCL-on-chip platform for 3D cell culture and its ability to mimic extracellular matrix (ECM). Immunostaining results prove that PLLCL-on-chip platform favors the secretion of ECM proteins compared to control groups, and cytoskeletons of cells were in aligned orientation in PLLCL-on-chip, while they were in random orientation in control groups. Overall, these results demonstrate that the developed platform is suitable for the formation of various 3D cell culture models and a potential candidate for cell alignment studies. © The Author(s) 2024.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Gpprmon: Gpu Runtime Memory Performance and Power Monitoring Tool(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Öz, Işıl; Öz,I.; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.04. Department of Computer Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringGraphics Processing Units (GPUs) perform highly efficient parallel execution for high-performance computation and embedded system domains. While performance concerns drive the main optimization efforts, power issues become important for energy-efficient GPU executions. While performance profilers and architectural simulators offer statistics about the target execution, they either present only performance metrics in a coarse kernel function level or lack visualization support that enables performance bottleneck analysis or performance-power consumption comparison. Evaluating both performance and power consumption dynamically at runtime and across GPU memory components enables a comprehensive tradeoff analysis for GPU architects and software developers. This paper presents a novel memory performance and power monitoring tool for GPU programs, GPPRMon, which performs a systematic metric collection and offers useful visualization views to track power and performance optimizations. Our simulation-based framework dynamically collects microarchitectural metrics by monitoring individual instructions and reports achieved performance and power consumption information at runtime. Our visualization interface presents spatial and temporal views of the execution. While the first demonstrates the performance and power metrics across GPU memory components, the latter shows the corresponding information at the instruction granularity in a timeline. Our case study reveals the potential usages of our tool in bottleneck identification and power consumption for a memory-intensive graph workload. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Classification of Turkish and Balkan House Architectures Using Transfer Learning and Deep Learning(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Yönder,V.M.; Çavka, Hasan Burak; Doğan, Fehmi; Apaydın, Mehmet Serkan; Yönder, Veli Mustafa; Apaydın,M.S.; Doğan,F.; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 03.05. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 03. Faculty of EngineeringClassifying architectural structures is an important and challenging task that requires expertise. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), which are a type of deep learning (DL) approach, have shown successful results in computer vision applications when combined with transfer learning. In this study, we utilized CNN based models to classify regional houses from Anatolia and Balkans based on their architectural styles with various pretrained models using transfer learning. We prepared a dataset using various sources and employed data augmentation and mixup techniques to solve the limited data availability problem for certain regional houses to improve the classification performance. Our study resulted in a classifier that successfully distinguishes 15 architectural classes from Anatolia and Balkans. We explain our predictions using grad-cam methodology. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 14Combination of Inclusive Top-Quark Pair Production Cross-Section Measurements Using Atlas and Cms Data at S = 7 and 8 Tev(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Aad,G.; Abbott,B.; Abbott,D.C.; Abed Abud,A.; Abeling,K.; Abhayasinghe,D.K.; Jiggins,S.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyA combination of measurements of the inclusive top-quark pair production cross-section performed by ATLAS and CMS in proton–proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV at the LHC is presented. The cross-sections are obtained using top-quark pair decays with an opposite-charge electron–muon pair in the final state and with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 5 fb−1 at s = 7 TeV and about 20 fb−1 at s = 8 TeV for each experiment. The combined cross-sections are determined to be 178.5 ± 4.7 pb at s = 7 TeV and 243.3−5.9+6.0 pb at s = 8 TeV with a correlation of 0.41, using a reference top-quark mass value of 172.5 GeV. The ratio of the combined cross-sections is determined to be R8/7 = 1.363 ± 0.032. The combined measured cross-sections and their ratio agree well with theory calculations using several parton distribution function (PDF) sets. The values of the top-quark pole mass (with the strong coupling fixed at 0.118) and the strong coupling (with the top-quark pole mass fixed at 172.5 GeV) are extracted from the combined results by fitting a next-to-next-to-leading-order plus next-to-next-to-leading-log QCD prediction to the measurements. Using a version of the NNPDF3.1 PDF set containing no top-quark measurements, the results obtained are mtpole=173.4−2.0+1.8 GeV and αsmZ=0.1170−0.0018+0.0021. © The Author(s) 2023.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 45Measurements of P P → Z Z Production Cross Sections and Constraints on Anomalous Triple Gauge Couplings at √s=13tev(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Sirunyan,A.M.; Tumasyan,A.; Adam,W.; Ambrogi,F.; Bergauer,T.; Dragicevic,M.; Bychkova,O.; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe production of Z boson pairs in proton–proton (p p) collisions, p p → (Z / γ∗) (Z / γ∗) → 2 ℓ2 ℓ′, where ℓ, ℓ′= e or μ , is studied at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137fb-1, collected during 2016–2018. The Z Z production cross section, σtot(pp→ZZ)=17.4±0.3(stat)±0.5(syst)±0.4(theo)±0.3(lumi) pb, measured for events with two pairs of opposite-sign, same-flavor leptons produced in the mass region 60<mℓ+ℓ-<120GeV is consistent with standard model predictions. Differential cross sections are also measured and agree with theoretical predictions. The invariant mass distribution of the four-lepton system is used to set limits on anomalous Z Z Z and Z Z γ couplings. © 2021, CERN for the benefit of the CMS collaboration.
