Lifeline network systems extend spatially over large geographical regions. Such network systems are composed of interconnected components most of which can be idealized as long segments. Correlation resulting from similar material, construction procedure, soil conditions as well as external loading due to the same environmental factors should be taken into consideration and be quantified. In this respect the spatial correlation proportional to the distance between components should be taken into consideration. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the system reliability of networks subjected to environmental loads (e.g. earthquakes) by concentrating especially on the modelling and quantification of spatial correlation in a format suitable for the implementation in the evaluation of network reliability. For this purpose the main concepts of the random field theory will be applied and the scale of fluctuation will be utilized as a measure of spatial correlation. A case study based on real life data will be presented in order to illustrate the implementation of the methods developed in the paper.

Massive MIMO Channel Estimation With an Untrained Deep Neural Network Balevi, Eren; Doshi, Akash; Andrews, Jeffrey G. (2020-03-01) This paper proposes a deep learning-based channel estimation method for multi-cell interference-limited massive MIMO systems, in which base stations equipped with a large number of antennas serve multiple single-antenna users. The proposed estimator employs a specially designed deep neural network (DNN) based on the deep image prior (DIP) network to first denoise the received signal, followed by conventional least-squares (LS) estimation. We analytically prove that our LS-type deep channel estimator can app...
Evaluating the utility of satellite-based precipitation estimates for runoff prediction in ungauged basins Yılmaz, Koray Kamil; Hogue, Terri S.; Hsu, Kuo-Lin; Wagener, Thorsten; Sorooshian, Soroosh (2005-04-09) Increased availability of global satellite-based precipitation estimates makes them potentially suitable for hydrological applications in remote regions where ground-based measurement networks are missing or sparse. This potential can be evaluated by testing the satellite estimates at locations where relatively dense ground-based networks are available. This study was conducted for two sites in the southeastern United States where precipitation estimates from a raingauge networks weather radar and satellite...
Optimizing pump schedule and valve characteristics of water distribution networks Gençoğlu, Gençer; Merzi, Nuri; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) From design stage to operation, water distribution networks hold the vital part of the infrastructure systems. Pumps contain significant operational consumptions by pumping and maintenance costs. Wise scheduling is an important tool that may decrease these costs. Leakage, defined as a portion of treated and pumped water; and through a typical water distribution network, it may possess a large percentage of the total water supplied. Pressure heads within the water distribution network are one of the major ca...
Integration of geophysical - geological data using geographic information systems Şirinyıldız, Tunç; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2003) This study attempts to integrate geophysical data with other spatial data using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The study is carried out in a part of Galatean Volcanic Province, north of Ankara. Gravity, magnetic, topographic, rock type and volcanic eruption center data are the data layers used in the study. All data layers are converted to raster format with a grid spacing of 100 m. The first step in the analysis is the pair-wise analyses of all data layers. For the geophysical data, different layers...
Transient signal detection in continuous GPS coordinate time series using empirical mode decomposition and principal component analysis Özdemir, Soner; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur.; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2019) Continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinate time series might be exposed to tectonic and non-tectonic transient signals as well as the persistent signals such as secular rates and seasonal motions. Transient signal detection becomes challenging when the targeted signal is weak and buried in the noise. Incoherency of the transient signal in space and large number of sites in the GPS network make the detection even more complicated. We propose a new approach based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EM...
