Preserving privacy of health data residing in HL7 FHIR repositories through de-identification
Şimşek Yılgın, Ezelsu; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-1-28)
Collaboration and data sharing are essential aspects of health research. Nevertheless, the number of sensitive health data breaches is increasing and there is a significant need to ensure that the privacy of patients is preserved. Health data accumulated in different repositories can be useful for statistical analysis, data mining and machine learning tasks; which results in long-term value for both healthcare professionals and patients. Preserving the privacy and ensuring the security is essential while co...
Improving performance of index insurance using crop models and phenological monitoring
Afshar, Mahdı Hesamı ; Parkes, Ben; Hufkens, Koen; Ceballos, Francisco (2020-05-04)
Extreme weather events pose significant risks to the livelihoods of smallholder farmers across Asia and Africa. Weather index-based insurance provides a potential solution to mitigate risks caused by crop failures, providing farmers with a payout in the event of a poor harvest. It also reduces costs relative to traditional indemnity insurance by eliminating the need for resource-intensive, in-situ assessment of losses. However, one challenge associated with weather index-based insurance is basis risk – wher...
Improving land data assimilation performance with a water budget constraint
Yılmaz, Mustafa Tuğrul; Houser, Paul R. (American Meteorological Society, 2011-10-01)
A weak constraint is introduced in ensemble Kalman filters to reduce the water budget imbalance that occurs in land data assimilation. Two versions of the weakly constrained filter, called the weakly constrained ensemble Kalman filter (WCEnKF) and the weakly constrained ensemble transform Kalman filter (WCETKF), are proposed. The strength of the weak constraint is adaptive in the sense that it depends on the statistical characteristics of the forecast ensemble. The resulting filters are applied to assimilat...
Improving operational performance of antennas on complex platforms by arranging their placements
Bayseferoğulları, Can; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
The aim of this thesis is to improve the operational performance of the communication antennas mounted on complex platforms such as aircrafts and warships by arranging placements of these antennas. Towards this aim, primarily, in order to gain insight on the influence of geometrically simple structures composing the platform on antenna performance, a quarter wavelength monopole antenna placed at the center of a finite square ground plane is studied by using uniform Geometrical Theory of Diffraction (GTD). B...
