Use of corn-steep liquor as an alternative carbon source for biomineralization in cement-based materials and its impact on performance
(Elsevier, 2018-03-20)Early age microcracks are generally the primary cause for a decrease in service life of cement-based structures. Recent studies suggested that it might be possible to develop a smart cement-based material that could self-heal ... -
Use of line spectral frequencies for emotion recognition from speech
(IEEE, 2010)We propose the use of the line spectral frequency (LSF) features for emotion recognition from speech, which have not been been previously employed for emotion recognition to the best of our knowledge. Spectral features ... -
Use of moviemaker to help ESL/EFL students develop language skills
Students learning a new language need as much practice as possible since becoming proficient in a new language is a difficult process. At Ozyegin University, Turkey, we ask our students to use Windows Moviemaker, which we ... -
Use of natural minerals to immobilize bacterial cells for remediating cracks in cement-based materials
(ASCE, 2022-03-01)Cracks in cement-based materials are one of the main factors affecting the durability of structure. Recent research in the field of concrete materials showed that self-healing in cement-based systems can be achieved by ... -
The use of parametric mapping as an analysis method in contextual design studio
This paper is discussed an experimental study carried out in the undergraduate Contextual Design Studio (CDS). The studio comprises four stages: Site Analysis Phase, Conceptual Design Studies, Design Development Phase, ... -
Use of pre-wetted lightweight fine expanded shale aggregates as internal nutrient reservoirs for microorganisms in bio-mineralized mortar
(Elsevier, 2017-11)Interest in developing bio-based self-healing cement-based materials has gained broader attention in the concrete community. One of challenges in developing bio-based self-healing cement-based materials is that cell death ... -
The use of speaking techniques by native and non-native English instructors: a case in Turkey
(2017-10-10)Although the primary goal of English language instruction is to assist students in acquiring communicative competence in l, developing this ability might be very challenging for teachers since not all language learners of ... -
A user detective adaptive facade towards improving visual and thermal comfort
(Elsevier, 2021-01)Adaptive skins and, in particular, adaptive façade play a significant role in the future of environmentally friendly spaces. Meanwhile, occupants' involvement in the process of adaptive façade design and operation is ... -
User, research, and practice. learning from design consultancies
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-07-28)This paper reports a study that focuses on the impact of design research department on a consultancy's design process. Six 10-business-day long field studies were conducted at design consultancies representing architecture, ... -
Using artificial neural networks to provide guidance in extending PL/SQL programs
(Springer, 2022-12)Extending legacy systems with new objects for contemporary functionality or technology can lead to architecture erosion. Misplacement of these objects gradually hampers the modular structure, of which documentation is ... -
Using convolutional neural networks to automate aircraft maintenance visual inspection
(MDPI, 2020-12)Convolutional Neural Networks combined with autonomous drones are increasingly seen as enablers of partially automating the aircraft maintenance visual inspection process. Such an innovative concept can have a significant ... -
Using deep compression on PyTorch models for autonomous systems
(IEEE, 2022)Applications of artificial neural networks on low-cost embedded systems and microcontrollers (MCUs), has recently been attracting more attention than ever. Since MCUs have limited memory capacity as well as limited ... -
Using different loss functions with YOLACT++ for real-time instance segmentation
(IEEE, 2023)In this paper, we study and analyze the performance of various loss functions on a recently proposed real-time instance segmentation algorithm, YOLACT++. In particular, we study the loss functions, including Huber Loss, ... -
Using eigenvoices and nearest-neighbors in HMM-based cross-lingual speaker adaptation with limited data
(IEEE, 2017-04)Cross-lingual speaker adaptation for speech synthesis has many applications, such as use in speech-to-speech translation systems. Here, we focus on cross-lingual adaptation for statistical speech synthesis systems using ... -

(2017-08)Thesis abstract: Cross-lingual speaker adaptation for speech synthesis has many applications, such as use in speech-to-speech translation systems. Here, we focus on cross-lingual adaptation for statistical speech synthesis ... -
Using high-level synthesis for rapid design of video processing pipes
(IEEE, 2016)In this work, we share our experience in using High-Level Synthesis (HLS) for rapid development of an optical flow design on FPGA. We have performed HLS using Vivado HLS as well as a HLS tool we have developed for the ... -
Using hypergraph clustering for software architecture reconstruction of data-tier software
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)Software architecture reconstruction techniques aim at recovering software architecture documentation regarding a software system. These techniques mainly analyze coupling/dependencies among the software modules to group ... -
Using machine learning tools for forecasting natural gas consumption in the province of Istanbul
(Elsevier, 2019-05)Commensurate with unprecedented increases in energy demand, a well-constructed forecasting model is vital to managing energy policies effectively by providing energy diversity and energy requirements that adapt to the ... -
Using simulated experience to make sense of big data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Simulated experience can help companies communicate data analysis results to decision makers. Analysts' conclusions have been found to be different from what decision makers understand. Meanwhile, complex statistical ... -
Using social media to monitor conflict-related migration: A review of implications for A.I. forecasting
(MDPI, 2022-09)Following the large-scale 2015–2016 migration crisis that shook Europe, deploying big data and social media harvesting methods became gradually popular in mass forced migration monitoring. These methods have focused on ...
