Recent improvements to OPUCEM, the tool for calculation of the contributions of various models to oblique parameters, are presented. OPUCEM is used to calculate the available parameter space for the four family Standard Model given the current electroweak precision data. It is shown that even with the restrictions on Higgs boson and new quark masses presented in the 2011 Autumn conferences, there is still enough space to allow a fourth generation with Dirac type neutrinos. For Majorana type neutrinos, the allowed parameter space is even larger. The electroweak precision data also appear to favor non-zero mixing between light and fourth generations, thus effectively reducing the current experimental limits on the masses of the new quarks, which assume that the mixing with the third generation is dominant. Additionally, disregarding the lack of a clear Higgs signal from the LHC and focusing only an electroweak precision data comptability, calculations with OPUCEM show that, the existing electroweak data are compatible with the presence of a 5th and also a 6th generation in certain regions of the parameter space.

Image segmentation based on variational techniques Duramaz, Alper; Ünver, Baki Zafer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) Recently, solutions to the problem of image segmentation and denoising are developed based on the Mumford-Shah model. The model provides an energy functional, called the Mumford-Shah functional, which should be minimized. Since the minimization of the functional has some difficulties, approximate approaches are proposed. Two such methods are the gradient flows method and the Chan-Vese active contour method. The performance evolution in terms of speed shows that the gradient flows method converges to the bou...
TEXTURE PRESERVING MULTI FRAME SUPER RESOLUTION WITH SPATIALLY VARYING IMAGE PRIOR Turgay, Emre; Akar, Gözde (2012-10-03) This paper proposes a new maximum a posteriori (MAP) based super-resolution (SR) image reconstruction method targeting edges and textures in images. Unlike conventional MAP based SR image reconstruction methods a spatially varying image prior is employed which is updated according to the frequency content of the reconstructed image at each iteration at different locations. Two alternative methods based on discrete cosine transforms (DCT) and Gabor filters are proposed for determining the image prior. The pr...
Estimation in bivariate nonnormal distributions with stochastic variance functions Tiku, Moti L.; İslam, Muhammed Qamarul; SAZAK, HAKAN SAVAŞ (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) Data sets in numerous areas of application can be modelled by symmetric bivariate nonnormal distributions. Estimation of parameters in such situations is considered when the mean and variance of one variable is a linear and a positive function of the other variable. This is typically true of bivariate t distribution. The resulting estimators are found to be remarkably efficient. Hypothesis testing procedures are developed and shown to be robust and powerful. Real life examples are given.
Inverse design of compressor cascades on parallel computers Özhamam, M.; Eyi, Sinan (2002-01-01) In this paper, the performance improvements of an inverse compressor cascade design are investigated. A Navier-Stokes code is used for flow analysis. A least-square optimization method is used to minimize pressure discrepancies between initial and target cascades. In optimization process, most of the CPU time is associated with the sensitivity analyses. Sensitivities are evaluated on parallel computers by using a finite difference approach. Results show that, analyzing sensitivities on parallel computers re...
Tree-structured Data Clustering Dinler, Derya; Tural, Mustafa Kemal; Özdemirel, Nur Evin (null; 2018-11-04) Tree-structured Data ClusteringWe consider a clustering problem in which data objects are rooted trees withunweighted or weighted edges and propose a k-means based algorithm whichrepeats assignment and update steps until convergence. The assignment steputilizes Vertex Edge Overlap to assign each data object to the most similarcentroid. In the update step, each centroid is updated by considering the dataobjects assigned to it. For the unweighted edges case, we propose a NonlinearInteger Programming (NIP) for...
