The aim of this study is to solve Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) problems occurring in nonlinear dynamical systems by using model and knowledge-based FDD methods and to give a priority and a degree about faults. For this purpose, three model-based FDD approaches, called FDD by utilizing principal component analysis (PCA), system identification based FDD and inverse model based FDD are introduced. Performances of these approaches are tested on different nonlinear dynamical systems starting from simple to more complex. New fuzzy discrete event system (FDES) and fuzzy discrete event dynamical system (FDEDS) concepts are introduced and their applicability to an FDD problem is investigated. Two knowledge-based FDD methods based on FDES and FDEDS structures using a fuzzy rule-base are introduced and they are tested on nonlinear dynamical systems. New properties related to FDES and FDEDS such as fuzzy observability and diagnosibility concepts and a relation between them are illustrated. A dynamical rule-base extraction method with classification techniques and a dynamical and a static diagnoser design methods are also introduced. A nonlinear and event based extension of the Luenberger observer and its application as a diagnoser to isolate faults are illustrated. Finally, comparisons between the proposed model and knowledge-based FDD methods are made.

An ınvestigation of a complementary feedback model for l2 writing: peer and teacher feedback versus teacher feedback
Tokdemir Demirel, Elif; Enginarlar, Hüsnü; Department of English Language Teaching (2009)
This study aimed at developing a complementary peer-teacher feedback model, in which students and teachers share the responsibility of providing feedback in a systematic way and testing its effectiveness. The effectiveness of the developed feedback model on improving students’ writing ability was tested in the context of a multiple draft writing course which followed a process approach with 57 preparatory class students at Karadeniz Technical University, Department of English Language and Literature for a p...
Language learning from the perspective of nonlinear dynamic systems
Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Peltzer-Karpf, Annemarie (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2009-01-01)
This article outlines a nonlinear dynamic systems approach to language learning on the basis of developmental cognitive neuroscience. Language learning, on this view, is a process of experience-dependent shaping and selection of broadly defined domain-general and domain-specific genetic predispositions. The central concept of development is (neuro) cognitive,e growth in terms of self-organization. Linguistic structure-building is synergetic and emergent insofar as the acquisition of a critical mass of eleme...
Convergence Error and Higher-Order Sensitivity Estimations
Eyi, Sinan (2012-10-01)
The aim of this study is to improve the accuracy of the finite-difference sensitivities of differential equations solved by iterative methods. New methods are proposed to estimate the convergence error and higher-order sensitivities. The convergence error estimation method is based on the eigenvalue analysis of linear systems, but it can also be used for nonlinear systems. The higher-order sensitivities are calculated by differentiating the approximately constructed differential equation with respect to the...
Perceptions of efl learners towards portfolios as a method of alternative assessment : a case study at a Turkish state university
Burnaz, Yeşim Erden; Svaş, Perihan; Department of English Language Teaching (2011)
This study investigated perceptions of EFL learners towards the benefits and the challenges of keeping a portfolio. The study also examined the students‟ perceptions towards the effect of keeping a portfolio on learner autonomy. The study was conducted with 21 intermediate level students at Galatasaray University Foreign Languages School in the fall semester of 2010 – 2011 academic year. The data for this study were gathered through a pre-portfolio study survey and an open-ended question survey before the i...
Inference in multivariate linear regression models with elliptically distributed errors
İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; Yazici, Mehmet (2014-08-01)
In this study we investigate the problem of estimation and testing of hypotheses in multivariate linear regression models when the errors involved are assumed to be non-normally distributed. We consider the class of heavy-tailed distributions for this purpose. Although our method is applicable for any distribution in this class, we take the multivariate t-distribution for illustration. This distribution has applications in many fields of applied research such as Economics, Business, and Finance. For estimat...
