Batmaz Keskin, Güneş
This thesis presents some parts of our continuing work on Almost Perfect Nonlinear( APN) Functions. Through this thesis, first of all the significance of APN functions and couple of generation methods for APN Functions are presented. Some methods are considered in a deeper context. Finally various algorithms to obtain functions related APN functions using Python programming language have implemented and some results are analyzed.

Robust quality metrics for assessing multimodal data
Konuk, Barış; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In this thesis work; a novel, robust, objective, no-reference video quality assessment (VQA) metric, namely Spatio-Temporal Network aware Video Quality Metric (STNVQM), has been proposed for estimating perceived video quality under compression and transmission distortions. STN-VQM uses parameters reflecting the spatiotemporal characteristics of the video such as spatial complexity and motion. STN-VQM also utilizes parameters representing distortions due to compression and transmission such as bit rate and p...
Evaluating an Immersive Virtual Learning Environment for Learning How to Design in Human-Scale
Sonmez, Orkun; Sorguç, Arzu (2018-01-01)
This paper presents a part of a thesis research conducted at METU. It proposes a method for evaluating the effects of an immersive virtual learning environment (IVLE) which is integrated in an architectural design/learning activity. Proposed IVLE application and design/learning activity were designed through a synthesis on constructive learning, problem-based learning, immersive technologies, and intended learning outcomes (ILOs) in learning how to design in human-scale. Immersive experience of bodily inter...
Application of Project-Based Learning in a Theoretical Course: Process, Difficulties and Recommendations
CODUR, K. Burak; Karatas, Sercin; Doğru, Ali Hikmet (2012-01-01)
This paper presents a case study about the application of a project-based learning approach. In this case study, software development projects are performed by the students, using historical software development methods in order to demonstrate evolution of the subject. The presented case study differs from others reported in the literature in its utilization of historical methods for project execution. Getting feedback and reaction of students and assessing the success of the project-based learning implemen...
Real lefschetz fibrations
Salepci, Nermin; Finashin, Sergey; Department of Mathematics (2007)
In this thesis, we present real Lefschetz fibrations. We first study real Lefschetz fibrations around a real singular fiber. We obtain a classification of real Lefschetz fibrations around a real singular fiber by a study of monodromy properties of real Lefschetz fibrations. Using this classification, we obtain some invariants, called real Lefschetz chains, of real Lefschetz fibrations which admit only real critical values. We show that in case the fiber genus is greater then 1, the real Lefschetz chains are...
Comparison of Efficiency of Two dc-to-ac Converters for Grid Connected Solar Applications
Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Yilmaz, Arif (2012-05-26)
In this paper; requirements from grid connected photovoltaic (PV) converters are briefly reviewed. Traditional buck-converter, line-frequency transformer topology is taken as reference, which satisfies all of the requirements imposed by standards and the utility. However, this topology employs a bulky transformer. Furthermore, a large electrolytic capacitor is needed in this circuit, which is expensive and also limits the life of the converter. This is not desirable in modern applications where PV module st...
