Interpretations of tracer tests involve matching field data by the use of computer simulation programs. As the complexity of the simulator model increases, the number of trial runs needed to fit field data satisfactorily increases rapidly. The conventional fitting procedure can thus become cumbersome and can involve prohibitive computer costs. This study presents a new methodology that is devised to model tests in heterogeneous formations. These rigorous simulators written in high-level computer languages are replaced by simple response functions generated in spreadsheet software. Matching the tracer data now involves function evaluations rather than full simulator runs, resulting in a large reduction in computing time. Analyzing laboratory tracer tests shows the uses of spreadsheet models. Advantages and disadvantages of the technique are discussed.

Investigation of nanoantennas using surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm Karaosmanoglu, Barıscan; Gur, Ugur Merıc; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2015-07-09) A rigorous analysis of nanoantennas using surface integral equations and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is presented. Plasmonic properties of materials at optical frequencies are considered by using the Lorentz-Drude models and employing surface formulations for penetrable objects. The electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation is preferred for fast and accurate solutions, which are further accelerated by an MLFMA implementation that is modified for plasmonic structures....
Analysis of extended feature models with constraint programming Karataş, Ahmet Serkan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) In this dissertation we lay the groundwork of automated analysis of extended feature models with constraint programming. Among different proposals, feature modeling has proven to be very effective for modeling and managing variability in Software Product Lines. However, industrial experiences showed that feature models often grow too large with hundreds of features and complex cross-tree relationships, which necessitates automated analysis support. To address this issue we present a mapping from extended fe...
Evaluation of UAS Camera Operator Interfaces in a Simulated Task Environment An Optical Brain Imaging Approach Çakır, Murat Perit; Akay, Daryal; Ayaz, Hasan; İşler, Veysi (null; 2012-07-11) In this paper we focus on the effect of different interface designs on the performance and cognitive workload of sensor operators (SO) during a target detection task in a simulated environment. Functional near-infrared (fNIR) spectroscopy is used to investigate whether there is a relationship between target detection performance across three SO interfaces and brain activation data obtained from the subjects’ prefrontal cortices that are associated with relevant higher-order cognitive functions such as atten...
Implementation and simulation of mc68hc11 microcontroller unit using systemc for co-design studies Tuncalı, Cumhur Erkan; Aşkar, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, co-design and co-verification of a microcontroller hardware and software using SystemC is studied. For this purpose, an MC68HC11 microcontroller unit, a test bench that contains input and output modules for the verification of microcontroller unit are implemented using SystemC programming language and a visual simulation program is developed using C# programming language in Microsoft .NET platform. SystemC is a C++ class library that is used for co-designing hardware and software of a system...
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...
