Motivation: Hot spots are residues comprising only a small fraction of interfaces yet accounting for the majority of the binding energy. These residues are critical in understanding the principles of protein interactions. Experimental studies like alanine scanning mutagenesis require significant effort; therefore, there is a need for computational methods to predict hot spots in protein interfaces.

Qualitative behavior of solutions of dynamic equations on time scales
Mert, Raziye; Ağacık, Zafer; Department of Mathematics (2010)
In this thesis, the asymptotic behavior and oscillation of solutions of dynamic equations on time scales are studied. In the first part of the thesis, asymptotic equivalence and asymptotic equilibrium of dynamic systems are investigated. Sufficient conditions are established for the asymptotic equivalence of linear systems and linear and quasilinear systems, respectively, and for the asymptotic equilibrium of quasilinear systems by unifying and extending some known results for differential systems and diffe...
Characterization of fracture processes by continuum and discrete modelling
KALISKE, M.; Dal, Hüsnü; FLEISCHHAUER, R.; JENKEL, C.; NETZKER, C. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-09-01)
A large number of methods to describe fracture mechanical features of structures on basis of computational algorithms have been developed in the past due to the importance of the topic. In this paper, current and promising numerical approaches for the characterization of fracture processes are presented. A fracture phenomenon can either be depicted by a continuum formulation or a discrete notch. Thus, starting point of the description is a micromechanically motivated formulation for the development of a loc...
Analysis of fiber reinforced composite vessel under hygrothermal loading
Sayman, Sümeyra; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003)
The aim of this study is to develop an explicit analytical formulation based on the anisotropic elasticity theory that determines the behavior of fiber reinforced composite vessel under hygrothermal loading. The loading is studied for three cases separately, which are plane strain case, free ends and pressure vessel cases. For free-end and pressure vessel cases, the vessel is free to expand, on the other hand for plane strain case, the vessel is prevented to expand. Throughout the study, constant, linear an...
Detection in heterogeneous radar clutter
Doyuran, Uelkue Cilek; Tanık, Yalçın (2007-06-13)
Classical algorithms that were derived with Rayleigh clutter assumption yield increased false alarm rate under Weibull clutter. In this study, a method for radar thresholding in range-heterogeneous Weibull radar clutter is proposed. The method employs Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm in estimation of the parameters and sets the threshold according to these estimates to yield the desired false alarm rate. Due to the mathematical complexity of the shape parameter estimation, an algorithm that uses a pr...
An attempt to classify Turkish district data : K-Means and Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithms
Aksoy, Ece; Işık, Oğuz; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2004)
There is no universally applicable clustering technique in discovering the variety of structures display in data sets. Also, a single algorithm or approach is not adequate to solve every clustering problem. There are many methods available, the criteria used differ and hence different classifications may be obtained for the same data. While larger and larger amounts of data are collected and stored in databases, there is increasing the need for efficient and effective analysis methods. Grouping or classific...
