In this thesis, time series of position estimates are generated from the data collected at Turkish National Permanent GNSS Stations Network-Active (TNPGN-Active) stations with high-precision GNSS analysis methods, and obtained time series are analysed using Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT) whereby associated problems of this transformation are investigated. The accuracy of the positional correction parameters sent to the end users on the field from TNPGN-Active system is important when it is considered these coordinates are used in the new cadastral applications. After the generation of time series, problematic sites are detected which can impose adverse effects on coordinate accuracies. GNSS time series show non-linear and/or non-stationary behaviours due to the underlying physical processes. Adaptive nature of HHT makes it possible to address each time series seperately and sheds light upon the individual characteristics of the time series. With Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method, original GNSS signals are transformed into amplitude/frequency modulated Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) in this study. Together with the Hilbert Spectrum, a more detailed representation of the physical processes is supplied. Problematic areas in HHT, such as interpolation technique between extrema, end effects, stopping criteria for sifting process, mode mixing, and some coproducts of EMD, such as detrending and denoising are also evaluated. With this study, HHT is applied to TNPGN-Active time series for the first time. Great efforts are awaiting for physical interpretation of the results obtained in this study.

Analysis of metal forming by using isogeometric elements
Özdoğan, Yasin; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
In this thesis, a new numerical analysis method named as isogeometric analysis (IGA), based on usage of non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS) basis functions is studied in order to examine the behavior of parts in the forming processes. NURBS is a mathematical modeling method used for representing any kind of curves, surfaces and 3-D shapes and it is widely used in computer aided design (CAD) software packages since its favorable and flexible nature makes modelling of complex geometries possible.

Simplified MAP estimator for OFDM systems under fading
Cueruek, Selva Muratoglu; Tanık, Yalçın (2007-04-25)
This paper presents a simplified Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimator, which yields channel taps in OFDM systems under fading conditions using a parametric correlation model, assuming that the channel is frequency selective, slowly time varying and Gaussian. Expressions for the variance of estimation error are derived to evaluate the performance of the MAP estimator. The relation between the correlation of subchannels taps and error variance and the effect of Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) are investigated. Th...
Measurement of quarkonium production cross sections in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV
Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2018-05-01)
Differential production cross sections of prompt J/psi and psi(2S) charmonium and Upsilon(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3) bottomonium states are measured in proton-proton collisions at root s = 13 TeV, with data collected by the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb(-1) for the J/psi and 2.7 fb(-1) for the other mesons. The five quarkonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel, for dimuon rapidity vertical bar y vertical bar < 1.2. The double-differential cross sectio...
Comparison of method of lines and finite difference solutions of 2-D Navier-Stokes equations for transient laminar pipe flow
Selçuk, Nevin; Tanrikulu, S (2002-03-10)
Performances of method of lines (MOL) and finite difference method (FDM) were tested from the viewpoints of solution accuracy and central processing unit (CPU) time by applying them to the solution of time-dependent 2-D Navier-Stokes equations for transient laminar flow without/with sudden expansion and comparing their results with steady-state numerical predictions and measurements previously reported in the literature. Predictions of both methods were obtained on the same computer by using the same order ...
Determination of the Strange-Quark Density of the Proton from ATLAS Measurements of the W -> lv and Z -> ll Cross Sections
Aad, G.; et. al. (2012-07-05)
AQCD analysis is reported of ATLAS data on inclusive W-+/- and Z boson production in pp collisions at the LHC, jointly with ep deep-inelastic scattering data from HERA. The ATLAS data exhibit sensitivity to the light quark sea composition and magnitude at Bjorken x similar to 0:01. Specifically, the data support the hypothesis of a symmetric composition of the light quark sea at low x. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea quark distributions is determined to be 1:00(-0:28)(+0.25) at absolute four-momentum t...
