Cell-Free Massive Mimo in O-Ran: Energy-Aware Joint Orchestration of Cloud, Fronthaul, and Radio Resources
No full textFor the energy-efficient deployment of cell-free massive MIMO functionality in a practical wireless network, the end-to-end (from radio site to the cloud) energy-aware operation is essential. In line with the cloudification and virtualization in the open radio access networks (O-RAN), it is indisputable to envision prospective cell-free infrastructure on top of the O-RAN architecture. In this paper, we explore the performance and power consumption of cell-free massive MIMO technology in comparison with traditional small-cell systems, in the virtualized O-RAN architecture. We compare two different functional split options and different resource orchestration mechanisms. In the end-to-end orchestration scheme, we aim to minimize the end-to-end power consumption by jointly allocating the radio, optical fronthaul, and virtualized cloud processing resources. We compare end-to-end orchestration with two other schemes: i) “radio-only” where radio resources are optimized independently from the cloud and ii) “local cloud coordination” where orchestration is only allowed among a local cluster of radio units. We develop several algorithms to solve the end-to-end power minimization and sum spectral efficiency maximization problems. The numerical results demonstrate that end-to-end resource allocation with fully virtualized fronthaul and cloud resources provides a substantial additional power saving than the other resource orchestration schemes.

Tepe Seçme Yöntemi ile Tanımlanan Coriolis Titreşimsel Dönüölçer için Kalman Uygulamalı Kontrol Sistemi Tasarımı
No full textCoriolis titreşimsel dönüölçerler (ing. Coriolis Vibratory Gyroscope (CVG)), yüksek performans parametreleri ile özellikle hassas dönü ölçümü gerektiren denizaltı ve uzay araçlarında kullanılan yüksek teknoloji navigasyon sistemlerindendir. Bu nedenle kritik öneme sahiptir. CVG, rezonans frekansında titreyen rezonatör elemanında, dışarıdan gelen dönü sonucunda oluşan Coriolis etkisi ile meydana gelen değişimin elektrot elemanları üzerinden okunmasıyla dönüyü hesaplayan sensördür. Bu çalışmada, halka şekilli rezonatör içeren CVG, hızlı dinamiklerle 2-SD bileşik olarak modellenmiştir. Elde edilen bileşik model, ortalama alma yöntemiyle yavaş dinamikler cinsinden modellenmiştir. Sistemdeki elektrotlar ise lineer olarak modellenerek tüm sisteme ait bir model elde edilmiştir. Modelin oluşturulmasının ardından Coriolis titreşimsel dönüölçerlerin tanımlanmasında literatürde yer almayan ancak iyi bilinen modal sistem tanımlama yaklaşımlarından tepe seçme yöntemi kullanılarak sistem parametreleri kestirilmiştir. Bu yöntem, değişen doğal frekans, kalite faktörü ve eksenel kaçıklık açıları içeren rezonatörlerin MATLAB-Simulink ortamında kurulan modellerine uygulanarak çalışma sınırları incelenmiş, yöntemin uygulanabilirliği doğrulanmış ve etkiler analiz edilmiştir. Yöntemin simülasyonlar üzerinden gerçekleştirilmesinin ardından halka şekilli bir rezonatör laboratuvar koşullarında test edilmiştir. Ardından, tepe seçme yöntemi halka şekilli rezonatöre uygulanmış ve durağan durum zaman çözümü üzerinden elde edilen frekans cevabı ile doğrultma işlemi gerçekleştirilerek sistem parametreleri kestirilmiştir. Kestirilen parametreler kullanılarak sisteme dört paralel kontrol çevrimi içeren Force-to-Rebalance (FTR) kontrol yöntemi uygulanan model numerik simülasyonlar üzerinden incelenmiştir. Halka şekilli rezonatör üzerinden mekanik olarak modellenemeyen elektrot kapasitansı üzerinden kaçak besleme, montaj ve yerleşim hataları, elektronik bileşenlerin hataları gibi etkenler gürültü olarak sisteme eklenmiş ve FTR kontrol yöntemi uygulanan sistemin geçiş cevapları ile performans değerleri incelenmiştir. Ardından, sisteme gürültü olarak yansıyan bu hataların bastırılarak sistem performansının arttırılması amacıyla Kalman filtresi uygulanmış FTR yöntemi oluşturulmuştur. Bu yöntemde, dönünün ve doğal frekans değerindeki kaymanın neden olacağı değişim nedeniyle değişken durum geçiş matrisi ile Kalman filtresi tasarımı gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kalman filtresi tasarımında ve sistem modelinde farklı değerler kullanılarak tasarlanan kontrol yönteminin gürbüzlüğü gösterilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen MATLAB-Simulink numerik simülasyonları üzerinden FTR ve K-FTR yöntemi karşılaştırılarak performans parametrelerinde iyileşme elde edilmiştir. K-FTR yöntemi FTR yöntem ile karşılaştırıldığında, sistemin dönü hassasiyeti 6 °/s değerinden 0.06 °/s değerine ve açısal rastgele yürüyüş (ARW) değeri 0.765 °/hr değerinden 0.046 °/√hr değerine düşerek iyileşme sağlanmıştır.Coriolis vibration gyroscopes (CVG) are among the high-tech navigation systems used in submarines and spacecraft that require particularly precise rotation measurements with high performance parameters. Therefore it is of critical importance. CVG is a sensor that measures the rotation by reading the change in the resonator element vibrating at the resonance frequency due to the Coriolis effect, which occurs as a result of the external rotation, through the electrode elements. In this study, the CVG containing a ring-shaped resonator was modeled as a 2-DOF coupled system with fast dynamics. The resulting coupled model was modeled in terms of slow dynamics using the method of averaging. The electrodes in the system were modeled linearly and a model of the entire system was obtained. After the model was created, peak-picking method which is a well-known modal system identification method was applied to the ring-shaped resonator. This method was applied to models of resonators containing varying natural frequency, quality factor, natural frequency azimuth and time constant azimut mismatch angles establish in the MATLAB-Simulink environment, and the operating limits were examined, the applicability of the method was confirmed and the effects were analyzed. After carrying out the method through simulations, a ring-shaped resonator was tested in a laboratory environment. Then, the peak-picking method was applied to the ring-shaped resonator and system parameters were estimated by correction of the frequency response function obtained from the time domain steady-state solution. Force-to-Rebalance (FTR) control method with four parallel control loops was applied to the system model including the parameter estimation results and the model was examined through the numerical simulations. Feed-through capacitance effects, assembly and electronic components' errors which could not model over the ring-shaped resonator were added to the system as noise. Transient responses and performance values of the FTR control applied system were examined. Then, the Kalman augmented FTR method was design in order to performance enhancement by suppressing the errors that are reflected in the system as noise. In this method, a Kalman filter design was performed with a variable state transition matrix due to the change in the natural frequency and the rotation. The robustness of the designed control method was demonstrated by using different values in the Kalman filter design and the system model. By comparing the FTR and K-FTR methods through the MATLAB-Simulink numerical simulations, an improvement in the performance parameters was achieved. When the K-FTR method is compared with the FTR method, performance enhancement is achieved in the rotation sensitivity and angular random walk (ARW) value, decreased from 6 °/s to 0.06 °/s and from 0.765 °/√hr to 0.046 °/√hr, respectively

Bu araştırmaya dayanarak, özellikle VR'daki işbirlikçi mekânsal üretim gibi yeni yöntemlerle karşılaştırıldığında, mekânsal temsili anlama ve keşfetmede geleneksel ortografik projeksiyonun sınırları ve geleceği tartışılmıştır. Özetle bu tez, mimarlığın temsil ve üretim yöntemi olan geleneksel çizim yöntemlerini, son teknoloji ve bedenlenmiş bilişle desteklenen yenilikçi pedagojik stratejilerle harmanlayan kapsamlı bir mimarlık eğitiminin olanaklarını sorgulamıştır.Architecture inherently possesses a four-dimensional dynamic structure. However, architecture has been discussed using two-dimensional representation and design tools for centuries. This thesis explores whether the four-dimensional nature of architecture can be revealed through embodied cognition in terms of spatial representation, comprehension, and understanding. It questions whether the four-dimensional dynamic structure of architecture can be better explored and experienced through the tools used to produce it and the body's involvement. In this thesis, the historical origins of architectural drawing have been investigated, tracing its evolution from primitive cave drawings to complex orthographic projections and addressing ongoing debates surrounding traditional methods. A critical point is why the methodologies that became systematic in the 18th century have remained prevalent in contemporary architectural education and practice. The theory of embodied cognition posits that cognitive processes are deeply rooted in the body's interactions with the physical world and that the mind-body connection fundamentally shapes thoughts and cognition. In this context, the research discusses the potential implications of spatial learning through the lens of embodied cognition. In the scope of this thesis, first-year architecture students at TOBB University of Economics and Technology were observed interacting with artificial intelligence and virtual reality tools such as Skybox AI, Open Brush, and Arkio in their Basic Design courses, and the impact of these digital tools on the students' spatial understanding and design processes was evaluated. Based on this research, the limitations and future of traditional orthographic projection in understanding and exploring spatial representation were discussed, especially when compared to new methods like collaborative spatial production in VR. In summary, this thesis questions the possibilities of a comprehensive architectural education that integrates traditional drawing methods as the conventional means of architectural representation and production with innovative pedagogical strategies supported by cutting-edge technology and embodied cognition

Dynamics of deposit dollarization in Turkey
No full textDeposit dollarization in Turkey has been on the rise, reaching record levels in 2022. This was caused by the worsening macroeconomic fundamentals along with the transition to the presidential system in 2018 and the associated deviation from the monetary policy stance afterward. The unique case of Turkey presents an excellent natural experiment to explore the dynamics of deposit dollarization and how it is affected by the changes in the institutional structure as well as various social, economic, and financial shocks in a relatively short time. This study examines the time varying reactions of deposit dollarization for the period between 2013 and 2022 based on rolling window maximum entropy bootstrap estimates. Our findings reveal that all the model variables had significant and sometimes asymmetric effects on deposit dollarization during the different stages of this turbulent period. In particular, we observe diminishing effects of real exchange rate, policy credibility and consumer confidence over time. The findings provide ample new evidence regarding the dynamics of deposit dollarization in general, and how it is affected by loss of monetary policy credibility.This work was sponsored by the Economic Research Forum (ERF) and has benefited from both financial and intellectual support.

Search for Light Long-Lived Neutral Particles From Higgs Boson Decays Via Vector-Boson Production From i>pp/I> Collisions at √i>s/I>=13 Tev With the Atlas Detector
No full textCamplani, Alessandra/0000-0002-6386-9788; Pezzullo, Gianantonio/0000-0002-6653-1555; Petersen, Troels/0000-0003-0221-3037; Nellist, Clara/0000-0002-5171-8579A search is reported for long-lived dark photons with masses between 0.1 GeV and 15 GeV, from exotic decays of Higgs bosons produced via vector-boson-fusion. Events that contain displaced collimated Standard Model fermions reconstructed in the calorimeter or muon spectrometer are probed. This search uses the full LHC Run 2 (2015-2018) data sample collected in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb(-1). Dominant backgrounds from Standard Model processes and non-collision sources are estimated using data-driven techniques. The observed event yields in the signal regions are consistent with the expected background. Upper limits on the Higgs boson to dark photon branching fraction are reported as a function of the dark photon mean proper decay length or of the dark photon mass and the coupling between the Standard Model and the potential dark sector. This search is combined with previous ATLAS searches obtained in the gluon-gluon fusion and WH production modes. A branching fraction above 10% is excluded at 95% CL for a 125 GeV Higgs boson decaying into two dark photons for dark photon mean proper decay lengths between 173 and 1296 mm and mass of 10 GeV.We thank CERN for the very successful operation of the LHC and its injectors, as well as the support staff at CERN and at our institutions worldwide without whom ATLAS could not be operated efficiently.

Ethical Issues and Ethical Problems in Psychiatry
No full textPsychiatry is a medical specialty that aims to understand, classify, prevent, treat disorders, and improve mental health. Medical ethics is a discipline that evaluates, analyzes, and discusses ethical principles in the field of medicine, examines the value issues that arise in medical practice, and establishes rules and norms. The relationship between psychiatry and ethics occupies a distinctive place in medical ethics due to the unique characteristics of psychiatry. Over the past century, developments in the psychiatric practices and treatments had increased remarkably. As psychiatric practices have advanced, the relationship between psychiatry and ethics has been increasingly discussed, leading to the development of specialized guidelines in this field. Advances in genetics, imaging, and pharmacology have made mental disorders more understandable, and developments in treatments have led to the evolution of ethical approaches in psychiatry. It seems very important to include ethical evaluation and approach issues in psychiatric education. In this chapter of the book, we summarized the history of psychiatry, the relationship between psychiatry and ethics, and ethical issues and ethical problems in psychiatry. The chapter contains a summary of highlights of clinical ethics approaches in psychiatry and suggests recommendations to guide psychiatrists and mental healthcare providers. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024
Study of Z → Llγ Decays at √s=8 Tev With the Atlas Detector
No full textThis paper presents a study of Z -> ll gamma decays with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis uses a proton-proton data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb(-1) collected at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 8 TeV. Integrated fiducial cross-sections together with normalised differential fiducial cross-sections, sensitive to the kinematics of final-state QED radiation, are obtained. The results are found to be in agreement with state-of-the-art predictions for final-state QED radiation. First measurements of Z -> ll gamma gamma decays are also reported
