In this thesis a simulated fMRI toolbox is developed in order to generate simulated data to compare and benchmark different functional magnetic resonance image analysis methods. This toolbox is capable of loading a high resolution anatomic brain volume, generating 4D fMRI data in the same data space with the anatomic image, and allowing the user to create block and event-related design paradigms. Common fMRI artifacts such as scanner drift, cardiac pulsation, habituation and task related or spontaneous head movement can be incorporated into the 4D fMRI data. Input to the toolbox is possible through MINC 2.0 file format, and output is provided in ANALYZE format. The major contribution of this toolbox is its facilitation of comparison of fMRI analysis methods by generating several different fMRI data under varying noise and experiment parameters.

Comparison of rough multi layer perceptron and rough radial basis function networks using fuzzy attributes Vural, Hülya; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2004) The hybridization of soft computing methods of Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks, Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks with back-propagation learning, fuzzy sets and rough sets are studied in the scope of this thesis. Conventional MLP, conventional RBF, fuzzy MLP, fuzzy RBF, rough fuzzy MLP, and rough fuzzy RBF networks are compared. In the fuzzy neural networks implemented in this thesis, the input data and the desired outputs are given fuzzy membership values as the fuzzy properties أlow...
New montgomery modular multıplier architecture Çiftçibaşı, Mehmet Emre; Yücel, Melek D; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005) This thesis is the real time implementation of the new, unified field, dualا radix Montgomery modular multiplier architecture presented by Savaş et al, for performance comparison with standard Montgomery multiplication algorithms. The unified field architecture operates in both GF(p) and GF(2n). The dual radix capability enables processing of two bits of the multiplier in every clock cycle in GF(2n) mode, while one bit of the multiplier is processed in GF(p) mode. The new architecture is implemented in a Xi...
RC Performance Evaluation of Interconnect Architecture Options Beyond the 10-nm Logic Node Kıncal, Serkan; Abraham, Mathew C.; Schuegraf, Klaus (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-06-01) This paper summarizes the findings of an RC performance modeling approach for evaluating various material and architecture options by which interconnect wires are incorporated onto integrated circuits. For the present dual-damascene structure, the grain boundary and surface scattering modes are identified as the top contributors to resistance degradation, along with the cross-sectional area consumed by the liner/barrier layers. Self-forming barriers, a technology that provides direct Cu-insulator interfaces...
Monte Carlo analysis of ridged waveguides with transformation media Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Wiley, 2013-07-01) A computational model is presented for Monte Carlo simulation of waveguides with ridges, by combining the principles of transformation electromagnetics and the finite methods (such as finite element or finite difference methods). The principle idea is to place a transformation medium around the ridge structure, so that a single and easy-to-generate mesh can be used for each realization of the Monte Carlo simulation. Hence, this approach leads to less computational resources. The technique is validated by me...
A temporal neural network model for constructing connectionist expert system knowledge bases Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (Elsevier BV, 1996-04-01) This paper introduces a temporal feedforward neural network model that can be applied to a number of neural network application areas, including connectionist expert systems. The neural network model has a multi-layer structure, i.e. the number of layers is not limited. Also, the model has the flexibility of defining output nodes in any layer. This is especially important for connectionist expert system applications.
