    Automated Labeling of Cancer Textures in Larynx Histopathology Slides Using Quasi-Supervised Learning
    (Science Printers and Publishers Inc., 2014) Önder, Devrim; Sarıoğlu, Sülen; Karaçalı, Bilge
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of a quasisupervised statistical learning algorithm, operating on datasets having normal and neoplastic tissues, to identify larynx squamous cell carcinomas. Furthermore, cancer texture separability measures against normal tissues are to be developed and compared either for colorectal or larynx tissues. STUDY DESIGN: Light microscopic digital images from histopathological sections were obtained from laryngectomy materials including squamous cell carcinoma and nonneoplastic regions. The texture features were calculated by using co-occurrence matrices and local histograms. The texture features were input to the quasisupervised learning algorithm. RESULTS: Larynx regions containing squamous cell carcinomas were accurately identified, having false and true positive rates up to 21% and 87%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Larynx squamous cell carcinoma versus normal tissue texture separability measures were higher than colorectal adenocarcinoma versus normal textures for the colorectal database. Furthermore, the resultant labeling performances for all larynx datasets are higher than or equal to that of colorectal datasets. The results in larynx datasets, in comparison with the former colorectal study, suggested that quasi-supervised texture classification is to be a helpful method in histopathological image classification and analysis.

    Structure and Performance Evaluation of Fractional Lower-Order Covariance Method in Alpha-Stable Noise Environments
    (Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2019) Ahmed, Areeb; Savacı, Ferit Acar
    Background: All existing time delay estimation methods, i.e. correlation and covariance, depend on second or higher-order statistics which are inapplicable for the correlation of alpha-stable noise signals. Therefore, fractional lower order covariance is the most appropriate method to measure the similarity between the alpha-stable noise signals. Methods: In this paper, the effects of skewness and impulsiveness parameters of alpha-stable distributed noise on fractional lower order covariance method have been analyzed. Results: It has been found that auto-correlation, i.e. auto fractional lower order covariance, \ of non delayed alpha-stable noise signals follows a specific trend for specific ranges of impulsiveness and skewness parameters of alpha-stable distributed noise. The results also depict that, by maintaining the skewness and impulsiveness parameters of alpha-stable noise signals in a certain suggested range, better auto-correlation can be obtained between the transmitted and the received alpha-stable noise signals in the absence and presence of additive white Gaussian noise. Conclusion: The obtained results would improve signal processing in alpha-stable noise environment which is used extensively to model impulsive noise in many noise-based systems. Mainly, it would optimize the performance of random noise-based covert communication, i.e. random communication.

    Neural Network Based Robust Control of an Aircraft
    (ACTA Press, 2020) Tanyer, İlker; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Zergeroǧlu, Erkan
    Output tracking control of an aircraft subject to uncertainties in the dynamic model and additive state-dependent nonlinear disturbancelike terms is aimed. Uncertainties in the aircraft dynamic model yield an uncertain input gain matrix, which is neither positive definite nor symmetric and an uncertain term in the error dynamics. To deal with the uncertain input gain matrix, a decomposition method is utilized to put error dynamics in a form where an uncertain positive definite matrix multiplies the auxiliary error but this results in the control input to be pre-multiplied first with a unity upper triangular matrix which is uncertain and then with a known diagonal matrix. A novel controller composed of a neural network compensation term and an integral of signum of error is designed. A novel Lyapunov type stability analysis is utilized to prove global asymptotic tracking of output of a reference model. Extensive numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed controller where robustness to variation of initial states and a comparison with a robust controller are also shown. © 2020 Acta Press.
