    Günümüzde, yazar tanıma çalışmaları, teknolojinin gelişmesi ve bilginin yaygınlaşması ile ortaya çıkan bir takım sorunlara çözüm üretmek için yapılmaktadır. Bu sorunlardan bazıları yazarı belli olmayan dokümanların yazarlarının belirlenmesi ve yazarının kim olduğundan tam olarak emin olunamayan metinlerin yazarlarının belirlenmesidir. Bu çalışmada, Türkçe dokümanlar için yazar tanıma sistemleri geliştirilmiştir. Sistemlerin eğitilmesinde ve test edilmesinde kullanılmak üzere, gazetelerden seçilen 6 yazara ait köşe yazıları kullanılmıştır. Yazarların 70?er makalesinden oluşan 420 dokümandan oluşan bir derlem hazırlanmıştır. Bu dokümanlardan 20?şer tanesi eğitim için, 50?şer tanesi test için kullanılmıştır. İlk olarak, 6 yazara ait dokümanlar toplanmış, daha sonra her yazara ait 20 doküman birleştirilerek tek bir doküman haline getirilmiştir. Bu şekilde elde edilen 6 doküman için sözcük, gövde, hece ve karakter n-gramlarının öznitelik vektörleri belirlenmiştir. K-En Yakın Komşu algoritması için öznitelik vektörleri belirlenirken her yazar için vektör uzunlukları 120, 180 ve 240 olarak seçilmiş, oluşan öznitelik vektörleri için K-En Yakın Komşu algoritmasıyla test edilmiştir. En başarılı sonuçlar, vektör boyu 120 olduğunda elde edildiğinden diğer metotlar için de vektör boyu 120 olarak kullanılmıştır. Geliştirilen sistemler eğitildikten sonra test edilerek doğruluk ve F-ölçüsü değerlerine göre birbirleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır.Today, the studies of author recognition have been made for providing the solutions of the problems which occur by developing and growing of information technology. Some of these problems are to specify the authors who the papers are exactly written by. In this study, some systems about author recognition for Turkish documents have been developed. For generating the systems, we have used the columns which belong to six authors in some newspapers. A corpus which includes totally 420 documents is constructed for training and testing of the systems. Each author has seventy documents. Twenty documents of every author are used for training operation. But, the other documents are utilized for testing stage. The features of word, stem, syllable, character and their n-grams are decided for each documents of these six author. Author recognition systems have been developed with the methods as K-Nearest Neighbor, Support Vector Machine, Multi-Layer Perceptron and Learning Vector Quantization. The feature vectors? lengths of the systems developed by K-Nearest Neighbor have been chosen as 120, 180 and 240. Because the most successful results are obtained as the length of the feature vectors is 120, we have used this length for the other methods. After the developed systems are trained the methods, the systems have been tested and evaluated according to accuracy and F-measure values

    Using Harmel and Janda\ue2s integrated theory of party change, the author examines the changes within the Democratic Progressive Party\ue3(DPP)\ue3from 2008-2014. In this thesis, the author specifically explores how the three main independent variables \ue2 chairperson change, dominant faction displacement, and external stimuli \ue2 are related to the changes observed in DPP which is considered a vote-seeking party. The research finds that changes within the DPP including organization, ideology, strategies, constitution, and policy changes can be attributed to numerous factors such as \ue2 changes in DDP\ue2s chairperson, external stimuli and external shocks such as electoral system change, jurisdictional changes in Taiwan\ue2s local government structure, the Sunflower protest movement in early 2014, and others. Despite these changes, DPP factional structure have not changed substantially. The changes observed in the DPP in this thesis corroborates Harmel and Janda\ue2s integrated theory of party change

    A Novel Quercetin Encapsulated Glucose Modified Liposome and Its Brain-Target Antioxidative Neuroprotection Effects

    Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are mainly induced by oxidative stress which produces excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). Quercetin (QU) is a potent antioxidant with some effects on NDDs. This study prepared and characterized a novel glucose-modified QU liposome (QU&ndash;Glu&ndash;Lip), aiming not only to overcome QU&rsquo;s poor water solubility and bioavailability but also to deliver more QU to brain tissue to enhance its neuroprotective effect. QU&ndash;Glu&ndash;Lip possessed encapsulation efficiency (EE) of 89.9%, homogenous particle sizes (116&ndash;124 nm), small PDI value (&lt;0.3), zeta value &minus;1.363 &plusmn; 0.437 mV, proper pH and salt stability, and proper cytotoxicity. The glucose-modified liposome penetrated the blood&ndash;brain barrier (BBB) mediated via the glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and was taken by neuronal cells more efficiently than liposome without glucose, according to bEnd.3 and PC12 cell tests. QU&ndash;Glu&ndash;Lip attenuated H2O2-induced oxidative damage to PC12 with higher cell viability (88.42%) and lower intracellular ROS compared to that of QU. QU&ndash;Glu&ndash;Lip had higher brain target ability and delivered more QU to neuronal cells, effectively exerting the antioxidative neuroprotection effect. There is potential for the QU&ndash;Glu&ndash;Lip application for more effective treatment of NDDs

    Now autonomous driving is a hot topic, and the identification of traffic signs is also extremely important for autonomous driving. This paper mainly compares the difference of the Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Logistic Regression (LR) Classifier in the traffic sign classification. The effect of the initial image processing on classification accuracy is also studied. The paper found that sharpening the image significantly improved the accuracy of the image classification. Based on the results of various situations, the author found that, in this paper, SVM is the classifier with the best classification effect, but the effect of LR classifier is not much worse than that of SVM when the image is sharpened

    Mitigating the autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag by metakaolin

    No full text
    This study investigates the effectiveness of metakaolin (MK)in mitigating the autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS). It is found that the autogenous shrinkage of AAS paste can be reduced by 40% and 50% when replacing 10% and 20% slag with MK, respectively. By providing additional Si and Al, and decreasing the pH of the pore solution, the incorporation of MK retards the formation of aluminium-modified calcium silicate hydrate (CASH)gels, the main reaction products in the studied pastes. The chemical shrinkage and pore refinement are consequently mitigated, resulting in a substantial reduction in the pore pressure. Meanwhile, the elastic modulus of AAS paste is only slightly influenced after MK addition. As a result, the autogenous shrinkage of AAS is significantly mitigated by incorporating MK. In addition, the introduction of MK would extend the setting time, slightly decrease the compressive strength, but greatly increase the flexural strength of AAS.Accepted Author ManuscriptMaterials and Environmen
