Nonidentical parallel machine scheduling with time-dependent deterioration of jobs
We consider scheduling of deteriorating jobs on nonidentical parallel machines where the objective is to minimize mean flow time while ensuring the average value (i.e., quality) of processed jobs on machines exceeds a ... -
Development of a torque-controllable upper limb exoskeleton for industrial applications
Chronic upper body pain and injuries are undesirable physical disorders that result from regular exposure to external forces that strain the musculoskeletal system. These symptoms reduce both the quality of life and ... -
High-level representations through unconstrained sensorimotor learning
Living organisms, in particular mammals are adept at learning complex tasks that may require basic planning such as tool use and manipulation. This ability is manifested by the central nervous system; in particular by the ... -
Seismic performance evaluation of concentric X-braced steel frames designed to the Turkish building earthquake code 2018
Concentrically braced steel frame systems are frequently used lateral load resisting frame systems, especially in highly seismic regions. Those systems are preferred due to their significant contribution of lateral stiffness ... -
Investigation of pair distribution function method on structural analysis of x-ray diffraction data from nanocrystalline powders
Pair Distribution Function analysis is a local characterization method gaining momentum recently. Conventional X-ray diffraction and Rietveld methods have proven not to be accurate in the case of analysis of diffraction ... -
An application for a particleboard plant: Web-based decision support system for quality prediction and digital transformation
As it is same for most of the production procedures, a certain quality level must be derived in the particle board production. In the particleboard production, a series of samples taken from the production line for the ... -
Simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer in underwater visible light communications
In this thesis, we investigate simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer (SLIPT) for underwater visible light communication systems. We consider four SLIPT methods namely AC-DC separation (ADS), time switching ... -
Analysis and optimization of the network throughput in ieee 802.15.13 based visible light communication networks
In recent years, commercialization of visible light communication networks have started. As a result, there are multiple groups working for their standardization. In this work, we focus on one of them, which is IEEE 802.15 ... -
A distributed blacklisting protocol for iot device classification using the hashgraph consensus algorithm
Industrial applications require highly reliable, secure, low-power and low-delay communications. However, wireless communication links in the industrial environment suffer from various channel impairments which can compromise ... -
Effects of photon statistics on quantum random number generators and photon detection efficiency
The effects of photon statistics on different quantum applications are explained in this thesis. There are mainly two sections: the first section focuses on the randomly bunched and coherently bunched photons' continuous ... -
Design and processing of multi-phase high entropy alloys
The multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs) known as high- and medium-entropy alloys possess promising properties due to their highly distorted atomic crystal structures. Employing multi-elements as principal elements has ... -
An integrated post-disaster assessment routing problem for collecting damage information with drones
In this study, we focus on post-disaster damage assessment operations supported by a set of drones when the disaster-affected area is divided into grids, and grids are clustered based on their attributes. We propose a ... -
An experimental research on the effects of frost formation on different environmental conditions and surface configurations
Frost formation on finned surfaces is observed on heat exchangers in cooling systems such as refrigerators and air conditioners. Accumulated frost on finned surfaces blocks the air flow in between fins and reduces the ... -
Avoiding short shot quality failure in injection molding machine
The Plastic injection molding machine (IMM) has been one of the most preferred manufacturing methods since its invention and continues its development in parallel with the advancing technology. The demand for faster, better ... -
A split delivery vehicle routing problem for daily tobacco delivery
One of the Turkey's largest cigarette manufacturer, located in Izmir, receives distributors' orders from all over Turkey every day. Processed and packed cigarettes are distributed to all distributors in different locations ... -
An ecologically valid reference frame for perspective invariant action recognition
In robotics, objects and body parts can be represented in various coordinate frames to ease computation. In biological systems, body or body part centered coordinate frames have been proposed as possible reference frames ... -
Numerical investigation of the radiant heating performance of a continuous annealing furnace
Annealing as a type of heat treatment process is widely used in the glass manufacturing industry. It is the last stage of the manufacturing process and has a highly dominant effect on the quality of the glass. Especially ... -
A multistage scenario optimization procedure for capacity planning in TV production final assembly lines
Vestel Electronics is a large-scale TV producer that has an important share in the European television market. High End Factory, where Vestel assembles 20 different TVs in size, consists of 14 final assembly lines. High ... -
Performance and loss assesment of industrial buildings under flood and earthquake actions
Flooding and earthquake are the two most-costliest hazard events that significantly affect communities in Turkey. Especially, their impacts on industrial facilities can trigger fire or release of toxic substances, resulting ... -
Adaptive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques for visible light communications
Visible Light Communication (VLC) technology is a promising solution of wireless communication systems in beyond 5G communication networks, which provides low implementation cost, high energy efficiency, and high-speed ...
