Mapping of the epicardium is possible with the usage of multielectrode venous catheters; however, most of epicardial surface Is still inaccessible. To overcome this problem a method called statistical estimation was proposed, in which the relationship between catheter measurements and the remaining sites are created from previously obtained high resolution maps, called the training set. Thus, there is a need for the acquisition of high resolution epicardial maps from patients during open-chest procedures. In this study we hypothesize that epicardial maps created from computer simulations might be used in combination with maps from patients, so that the need for data acquisition during open-chest procedures would be reduced. We used high-resolution epicardial activation maps acquired from 13 dog heart experiments, 470 maps from 12 experiments (training set) and 50 maps from a separate experiment (test set). Hearts were paced from sites regularly distributed over the epicardium. The simulations of focal arrhythmias originating from epicardium were performed using a modified version of FitzHugh-Nagumo cardiac model within the ventricles of the Auckland canine heart model. We registered the experimental and simulation heart geometries using iterative closest-points algorithm and procrustes method. We started simulations from sites that corresponded to the pacing sites on the experimental geometry and created a simulated activation map database (470 maps) and compared the simulation results with the corresponding experimental maps. Finally, we performed the statistical estimation on the test set by adjusting the content of the training set in such a way that simulated maps constituted 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0% of the training set. Mean correlation coefficient (CC) between the simulated and experimental activation maps was 0.88. Mean CC and the arrhythmia source localization error worsened only from 0.93 to 0.92, and 9.65 mill to 12.14 mm when simulated activation maps constituted 50% of the training set. This study showed the feasibility of including cardiac simulation results in the training set for source localization of focal epicardial arrhythmias using statistical estimation.

Synthesis of Bandstop filters with ultra wide upper passbands Yıldırım, Nevzat (2007-06-08) A new LP Prototype-to-Distributed Bandstop mapping is defined to synthesize BSF's with controllable upper pass bandwidths. The synthesized filters involve resonators made up of commensurate OC and SC stubs coupled by inverters. It is shown that when inverters are approximated by several unit elements (UE) then their contribution to the response increases appreciably upon optimization. Thus, a novel approach is developed which can be used to synthesize BSF's with contributing UE's having ultra wide upper pas...
Evaluation of potential novel variations and their interactions related to bipolar disorders: Analysis of genome-wide association study data AÇIKEL, Cengizhan; Aydın Son, Yeşim; ÇELİK, Cemil; GÜL, Husamettin (2016-11-24) Background: Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) is a nonparametric approach that can be used to detect relevant interactions between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The aim of this study was to build the best genomic model based on SNP associations and to identify candidate polymorphisms that are the underlying molecular basis of the bipolar disorders. Methods: This study was performed on Whole-Genome Association Study of Bipolar Disorder (dbGaP [database of Genotypes and Phenotypes] study ac...
Performance analysis of adaptive loading OFDM under Rayleigh fading Canpolat, B; Tanik, Y (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-07-01) In this paper, we investigate the performance of adaptive loading orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) under Rayleigh fading with maximal ratio-combining (MRC) diversity at the receiver. We assume that channel-state information is available at both the transmitter and the receiver. Closed-form expressions for the lower bound on the average capacity of OFDM transmission under Rayleigh fading are provided for ideal MRC diversity. Simple approximate expressions for the average capacity of the Rayl...
Storage free basis conversion over composite finite fields of odd characteristics Sial, M Riaz; Akyıldız, Ersan (null; 2013-09-19) We study the Finite Fields of type Fq, q = p2pn from the efficient implementation point of view. We found that we can represent these fields with irreducible polynomials in the form f(x) = xp − x − a. By using this representation we have found a way of constructing normal basis for the field, together with transmission matrix between normal basis and algebraic basis (Polynomial Basis) of Fq and vice versa. The key point is that this matrix and its inverse can be computed very efficiently without any memory ...
Prediction of renal respiratory motion for compensation during percutaneous needle insertion in robot assisted surgery Çetinkaya, Mehmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) In this study, the aim is to design a respiratory motion prediction algorithm which can be used to compensate for this physiological disturbance in medical operations where respiration limits operation accuracy. For this purpose, a new Kalman filter has been developed for tracking quasi-periodic signals approximated as finite Fourier series. Instead of relying on approximations provided by Extended Kalman Filter or Unscented Kalman Filter, our filter performs the exact calculation of the mean and covariance...
