Item A Novel Approach for Estimating Heat Transfer Coefficients of Ethylene Glycol-Water Mixtures(2014) Bulut, Murat; Ankishan, Haydar; Demircioglu, Erdem; Ari, Seckin; Sengul, Orhan; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6240-2545; AAH-4421-2019Ethylene glycol-water mixtures (EGWM) are vital for cooling engines in automotive industry. Scarce information is available in the literature for estimating the heat transfer coefficients (HTC) of EGWM using knowledge-based estimation techniques such as adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) and artificial neural networks (ANN) which offer nonlinear input-output mapping. In this paper, the supervised learning methods of ANFIS and ANN are exploited for estimating the experimentally determined HTC. This original research fulfills the preceding modeling efforts on thermal properties of EGWM and HTC applications in the literature. An experimental test setup is designed to compute HTC of mixture over a small circular aluminum heater surface, 9.5 mm in diameter, placed at the bottom 40-mm-wide wall of a rectangular channel 3 mm x 40 mm in cross section. Measurement data are utilized as the train and test data sets of the estimation process. Prediction results have shown that ANFIS provide more accurate and reliable approximations compared to ANN. ANFIS present correlation factor of 98.81 %, whereas ANN estimate 87.83 % accuracy for test samples.Item A New Portable Device for the Snore/Non-Snore Classification(2017) Ankishan, Haydar; Tuncer, A. Turgut; 0000-0002-6240-2545; AAH-4421-2019Snoring is widely known as a disease. The aim of this paper is to introduce and validate our newly developed snoring detection device to identify automatically snore and non-snore sounds using a nonlinear analysis technique. The developed device can analyze chaotic features of a snore related sounds such as entropy, Largest Lyapunov Exponents (LLEs) and also has the data classification ability depending on the feature values. We report that the developed snoring detection device with proposed automatic classification method could achieve an accuracy of 94.38% for experiment I and 82.02 for experiment II when analyzing snore and non-snore sounds from 22 subjects. This study revealed the efficacy of our newly developed snoring detection device and indicated that it may be used at home an alternative to diagnose snore related sounds. It is anticipated that our findings will contribute to the development of an automated snore analysis system to be used in sleep studies.Item A New Approach for the Acoustic Analysis of the Speech Pathology(2017) Ankishan, Haydar; 0000-0002-6240-2545; AAH-4421-2019Voice disorders are a common physical problem that can be encountered today and can cause serious problems in the long term. It is necessary to analyze the voice and extract its characteristics correctly so that it can be treated. In some cases, due to their sound characteristics, they do not differ from each other characteristics exactly, and today's systems do not yet have the ability to make correct decisions. This study has taken into account those evident which from voice disturbances and tries to the analysis of these disorders by means of previously unused attributes with the help of classifier (SVMs). In this study, after the sounds are modeled with LPC and MFCC, disorder analysis is performed on the obtained signals. In the results obtained from experimental studies, it has been determined that 100% of the patients with four different diseases can be decomposed together with the used nonlinear features.Item Detecting COVID-19 from Respiratory Sound Recordings with Transformers(2022) Aytekin, Idil; Dalmaz, Onat; Ankishan, Haydar; Saritas, Emine U.; Bagci, Ulas; Cukur, Tolga; Celik, Haydar; Drukker, K; Iftekharuddin, KMAuscultation is an established technique in clinical assessment of symptoms for respiratory disorders. Auscultation is safe and inexpensive, but requires expertise to diagnose a disease using a stethoscope during hospital or office visits. However, some clinical scenarios require continuous monitoring and automated analysis of respiratory sounds to pre-screen and monitor diseases, such as the rapidly spreading COVID-19. Recent studies suggest that audio recordings of bodily sounds captured by mobile devices might carry features helpful to distinguish patients with COVID-19 from healthy controls. Here, we propose a novel deep learning technique to automatically detect COVID-19 patients based on brief audio recordings of their cough and breathing sounds. The proposed technique first extracts spectrogram features of respiratory recordings, and then classifies disease state via a hierarchical vision transformer architecture. Demonstrations are provided on a crowdsourced database of respiratory sounds from COVID-19 patients and healthy controls. The proposed transformer model is compared against alternative methods based on state-of-the-art convolutional and transformer architectures, as well as traditional machine-learning classifiers. Our results indicate that the proposed model achieves on par or superior performance to competing methods. In particular, the proposed technique can distinguish COVID-19 patients from healthy subjects with over 94% AUC.Item Blood pressure prediction from speech recordings(2020) Ankishan, HaydarThe aim of this study is to extract new features to show the relationship between speech recordings and blood pressure (BP). For this purpose, a database consisting of / a / vowels with different BP values under the same room and environment conditions is presented to the literature. Convolutional Neural Networks- Regression (CNN-R), Support Vector Machines- Regression (SVMs-R) and Multi Linear Regression (MLR) are used in this study to predict BP with extracted features. From the experiments, the highest accuracy rates of BP prediction from / a / vowel have been obtained based on Systolic BP values with CNNR. In the study, 89.43 % for MLR, 92.15 % for SVM-R and 93.65 % for CNN-R are obtained when ReliefF has been used. When the root mean square errors (RMSE) are considered, the lowest error value is obtained with CNN-R as RMSE = 0.2355. In conclusion, it can be observed that the proposed feature vector (FVx) shows a relationship between BP and the human voices, and in this direction, it can be used as an FVx in a system that will be developed in order to follow the tension of individuals.

The results are presented as two experimental studies. The nine groups of acoustic signals and pathological human voices are investigated in the first and second experiments, respectively. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Multi-Class Support Vector Machines (M-SVMs) are used to figure out the effect of the proposed feature and its FSp on the classification accuracy. It is observed that the proposed feature and its formed space yield significant results for the discrimination of those signals. Experimental studies show that the classification accuracy of test data is increased by 5.3% when the proposed feature is used with CNN and M-SVMs. In addition, each acoustic group is significantly discriminated in both experimental studies. It is concluded that the proposed feature and its space can be used as a temporal feature for different purposes such as automatic speech recognition, pattern recognition, and emotional voice discrimination etc. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

Various samples of the sustained vowel /a/ for different HBR have been extracted from a database which is created for this study. A convolutional neural network (CNN)-Regression (R), support vector machines (SVMs)-Regression (R), and multiple linear regression (MLR) are used as regression models. The experimental results show that the percentage of predictions within an acceptable error margin has been obtained as 98.92% for CNN-R, 98.70% for SVMs-R and 96.88% for MLR when Forward Sequential is used as a feature selection algorithm. The results also reveal that the CNN-R (root mean square error (RMSE) =0.3909) has produced better prediction values in estimating HBR than those produced by SVMs-R (RMSE=0.4277) and MLR (RMSE =0.4449). As a result, it is seen that the extracted hybrid feature vector provides a novel relationship between human voice and HBR. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

The slot parameters on MMPA are modeled using soft computing technique of artificial neural networks (ANN). To achieve the best ANN performance, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Differential Evolution (DE) are applied with ANN's conventional training algorithm in optimization of the modeling performance. In this study, the slot parameters are assumed as slot distance to the radiating patch edge, slot width, and length. Bandwidth enhancement is applied to a formerly designed MMPA fed by a microstrip transmission line attached to the center pin of 50 ohm SMA connecter. The simulated antennas are fabricated and measured. Measurement results are utilized for training the artificial intelligence models. The ANN provides 98% model accuracy for rectangular slots and 97% for square slots; however, ANFIS offer 90% accuracy with lack of resonance frequency tracking.
