Voltage Profile Improving and Peak Shaving Using Multi-type Distributed Generators and Battery Energy Storage Systems in Distribution Networks
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020)
Optimal sizing and siting of distributed generation (DG) units play an important role for improving voltage profile and reducing power losses. Moreover, battery energy storage system (BESS) units may help peak shaving. ...
Stabilized cut discontinuous galerkin methods for advection-reaction problems
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Publications, 2020)
We develop novel stabilized cut discontinuous Galerkin methods for advection-reaction problems. The domain of interest is embedded into a structured, unfitted background mesh in \BbbR d where the domain boundary can cut ...
Realistic Channel Estimation of IEEE 802.11af Systems in TV White Space
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020)
This work investigates the realistic performance of IEEE 802.11af systems released for the efficient spectrum utilization of TV white space (TVWS). These systems are operated over many contiguous or non-contiguous channels ...

The present study investigated the longitudinal effects of early exposure to L2-English on L1-Turkish language competence, narrative skills and executive functioning. We asked whether early immersion-like exposure to L2, ...
Physical-layer security in visible light communications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020)
Optical wireless communications (OWC) and its potential to solve physical layer security (PLS) issues are becoming important research areas in 6G communications systems. In this paper, an overview of PLS in visible light ...
Metadata Action Network Model for Cloud Based Development Environment
(Springer, 2020)
Cloud-based software development solutions (entitled as Platform-as-a-Service, Low-Code platforms) have been promoted as a game changing paradigm backed by model-driven architecture and supported by various cloud-based ...
Design of Phase Shifters with Ladder Stubs Via Real Frequency Technique
(World Scientific, 2020)
Generally at high frequencies, lumped-elements are not preferred because of their limited range of values. Therefore, in this work, a kind of phase shifter formed with ladder stubs is studied and a new approach to design ...
Evaluation Of Water Supply Alternatives For Istanbul Using Forecasting And Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Water scarcity is one of the most serious problems of the future due to increasing urbanization and water demand. Urban water planners need to balance increasing water demand with water resources that are under increasing ...
