In this study the data taken from Outokumpu type Flash smelter of Eti-Bakır Plant (Samsun, Turkey) was used to write a computer program in Visual Basic with interface to Excel. Flash smelting is the pyrometallurgical process for smelting metal sulfide concentrates, used in Eti-Bakır plant. In this plant, copper flash smelting consists of blowing fine, dried copper sulfide concentrate mixtures, silica flux, lignite with air into the furnace and natural gas as main fuel. The molten matte is the principal product of the furnace and slag contains 0.5-2% Cu. It is sent to a slag treatment (flotation) process for Cu recovery. This flash furnace off-gas contains from 8-12 volume % SO2 which is fixed as H2SO4. Written program was used to optimize the consumption of oxygen enriched air, fuel and lignite in this Flash Smelter by making material and heat balance of the plant.

Formalization of core-competency processes for integration of value-add chains.
Manzer, Ayesha; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2002)
Process Models for the core-competency processes of enterprises are represented in task systems. For a virtual enterprise that is formed by an integration of the individual organizations' processes over the Internet, the preservation of some attributes is investigated. With the aid of task systems as a formalism that is borrowed from the operating systems theory, processes and attributes are modeled. The anticipated utilization is in the form of a tool that will aid the formation of virtual enterprises over...
Image Annotation With Semi-Supervised Clustering
Sayar, Ahmet; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2009-09-16)
Methods developed for image annotation usually make use of region clustering algorithms. Visual codebooks are generated from the region clusters of low level features. These codebooks are then, matched with the words of the text document related to the image, in various ways. In this paper, we supervise the clustering process by using three types of side information. The first one is the topic probability information obtained from the text document associated with the image. The second is the orientation an...
Analysis of nanoparticle Transmission Electron Microscopy data using a public-domain image-processing program, Image
Woehrle, GH; Hutchison, JE; Özkar, Saim; Finke, RG (2006-01-01)
The need to easily and quickly count larger numbers of nanoparticles, in order to obtain statistically useful size and size-distribution data, is addressed via the use of a readily available, free, public-domain program for particle counting, NIH-Image (and 2 others derived from it, Scion Image and Image J), collectively referred to herein as Image. The best protocols that we have found useful for the use of Image are reported; both appropriate as well as problematic applications of Image are then illustrat...
A Shadow based trainable method for building detection in satellite images
Dikmen, Mehmet; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2014)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a supervised building detection and extraction algorithm with a shadow based learning method for high-resolution satellite images. First, shadow segments are identified on an over-segmented image, and then neighboring shadow segments are merged by assuming that they are cast by a single building. Next, these shadow regions are used to detect the candidate regions where buildings most likely occur. Together with this information, distance to shadows towards illuminati...
Shape recognition with generalized beam angle statistics
Tola, OO; Arica, N; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2004-04-30)
In this study, we develop a new shape descriptor and matching algorithm in order to find a given template shape in an edge detected image without performing boundary extraction. The shape descriptor based on Generalized Beam Angle Statistics (GBAS) defines the angles between the lines connecting each boundary point with the rest of the points, as random variable. Then, it assigns a feature vector to each point using the moments of beam angles. The proposed matching algorithm performs shape recognition by ma...
