Efficient Content Delivery in Urban Vehicular Networks: A Hybrid RSU-UAV Framework

Muhammad Ismail — 2023-09-29

Vehicular networks offer many advantages in smart transportation systems, even when dealing with occasional disruptions in regular networks and relying on Road Side Units (RSUs) to share data. For a smooth flow of information to and from smart vehicles in transportation systems, it is crucial to seamlessly switch communication from RSUs to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) when a smart vehicle goes beyond RSU coverage. However, transitioning smart vehicles from RSUs to UAVs in smart transportation presents a significant challenge. This is because the remaining content must be efficiently delivered by UAVs to vehicles to ensure smooth and efficient data transmission. To address this challenge, this study proposes an advanced vehicular network design that divides the responsibility of content delivery between RSUs and UAVs. In this research article, we propose a cooperative approach that unites UAVs and RSUs to enhance content delivery, employing diverse strategies that may overlap or not within the context of smart transportation. The research establishes a robust network structure, clearly outlining the roles of RSUs and UAVs in content delivery. By maintaining a balanced utilization of communication channels between RSUs and UAVs, resources are allocated evenly, ensuring efficient content delivery. We evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies, both overlapping and non-overlapping, and their impact on data rates, throughput, and overall network performance through extensive simulations. The results reveal that our coordinated non-overlapping content delivery scheme yields higher individual RSU-UAV throughput and the sum of which is equal to the total required content size and required throughput.

Kürşad Osman AY — 2023-08-29

As the World population increases, the main motivation of the agriculture industry becomes to obtain much more agriproducts from unit agriculture area, which hereby promotes the use of pesticides at the expense of harming nature and threatening human and animal health. Cypermethrin, which is a synthetic pyrethroid, is utilised as an insecticide in agriculture industry. While being highly toxic to bees and fish in nature, its gradual aggregation also gives rise to contamination of soil and grand water to a significant extent. Thus, its detection at even ultra low concentrations is of utmost importance, in terms of human and natural life’s safety. Currently, several analytical methods such as gas chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and HPLC, are utilised in order to detect cypermethrin. These methods require expensive consumables and analysing durations are quite long. At this point, Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy emerges as an effective alternative. In this method, metal nanoparticle structures are utilised in order to boost Raman Signals, which have low intensities. In this study, Ag Nanowire structures are used in order to detect cypermethrin pesticide at even ultra-low concentrations. Cypermethrin solutions from 10-3 M to 10-10 M are detected via Raman Spectroscopy, in a very short duration with regard to analytical methods and without the need to almost any consumables.

Effects of Magnetic Fluid Concentration and Cell Size on Magneto-Optical Light Transmission

Serhat Küçükdermenci — 2023-08-29

In this study, magnetic liquids were first synthesized using the "high temperature hydrolysis reaction" method, which is a novel method for synthesizing magnetic field sensitive colloidal nanoparticles. For magneto-optical characterization, the magnetic liquids were exposed to magnetic field (0-600 G) in DC regime. The effects of concentration, cell size and magnetic field strength on light transmittance were observed. The largest change in light transmission was 10.4% for the sample with a concentration of 74%, 8.4% for the sample with 71% and 7.4% for the liquid with 66%. As the concentration increased, the power change increased and it was found that light transmission was high at low concentrations. As the cell size increased, the power variation was found to increase accordingly. This was explained in terms of the number of particles per unit volume and early saturation. Magneto-optical characterization studies have shown that these liquids can be used in various devices such as gaussmeter design in the optical field. This study revealed that the behavior of magnetic liquids changes in the presence of a magnetic field and that this behavior is affected by various conditions. The results show that the effect of magnetic fields on magnetic liquids is affected by a wide range of parameters.

Serhat Küçükdermenci — 2023-08-29

In this study, a method for detecting sign language is created to help people with speech and hearing impairments communicate more effectively with each other and with people who do not know sign language. One of the applications of flexible sensors for the development of interaction/interface devices based on human gestures is the translation of sign language into audio. Resistive flexible sensors can be used in a wide variety of applications due to their light weight, compact form, flexibility, measurement efficiency and low power consumption. The design is outlined in Proteus simulation environment by connecting five flexible sensors, a switch and an LCD display to a Raspberry pi. Each finger gesture combination in the generated system represents a separate character or phrase. In digital electronics, these combinations are digital sets consisting of logic 0 and logic 1. Finger signals corresponding to the characters or sentences to be used in the study are given to the developed system. The sensor output is converted to digital form using Raspberry Pi and after processing the data, audio output is generated using gTTS. For each combination of finger movements made by the user, a character or sentence presented to the system is transferred to the LCD screen. The aim of this study is to help bridge the communication gap between sign language users and non-sign language speakers.

Ömer Faruk Nemutlu — 2023-08-29

Deprem kaynaklı kayıpların önceden tahmin edilmesi deprem kaynaklı zararların en aza indirgenebilmesi açısından önemli bir araştırma alanıdır. Kayıp değerlendirmesi (Loss estimation) çalışmaları olası bir deprem sonrası meydana gelecek can kayıpları ve ekonomik kayıpları olasılıksal açıdan tahmin etmeyi amaçlar. Bu değerlendirmeyi yaparken belirli bir işlem aşamasını izlemek gereklidir. Çünkü her aşamada yapılan doğru ya da yanlış yaklaşım, elde edilen sonuçları doğrudan etkilemektedir. Kayıp değerlendirmesi en genel anlamda 4 aşamadan oluşmaktadır. Bu aşamalar sırasıyla Deprem Tehlikesinin Belirlenmesi, Yapı Stok Özelliklerinin Belirlenmesi, Yapısal Analiz, Can ve Mal Kayıplarının belirlenmesidir. Deprem tehlikesi belirlenirken deprem kaynaklarının modellenmesi, bu kaynakların üretebileceği deprem büyüklüklerinin tespit edilmesi, bu büyüklüklerin azalım ilişkileri yardımı ile binalara etki edeceği ivme değerleri belirlenerek kayıp değerlendirmesi çalışmalarına devam edilir. Bu aşamada iki farklı yaklaşım mevcuttur. Deprem tehlikesinin olasılıksal olarak belirlenmesi ve deterministik olarak belirlenmesidir. Olasılıksal yaklaşımda depremin üretebileceği parametreler önceden meydana gelmiş depremler üzerinden istatistiksel olarak tahmin yaparken, deterministik yaklaşımda çalışma yapılacak bölgelerde meydana gelebilecek depremler deterministik olarak belirlenir ve değerlendirme devam eder. Senaryo depremler olarak isimlendirilen bu depremler ile bölgede meydana gelen sismik boşluklar üzerinden bir deprem senaryosu hazırlanır ve kayıp değerlendirmeleri bu depremlerin olma ihtimali üzerinden gerçekleştirilir. Bu çalışmada, Bingöl ilindeki konut türü binalarda deterministik yaklaşım ile bir kayıp değerlendirmesi çalışması yapılmış, bu değerlendirme ile meydana gelecek can ve mal kayıpları tahmin edilmiştir. Çalışmada görüldüğü üzere depremin gün içinde ne zaman olacağı, can kaybı katsayılarının farklılığı, hane halkı sayısındaki farklı yaklaşım yeni çalışmalara yol gösterici olacaktır. Sonuçlar gerekçeleri ile birlikte irdelenmiştir.

Comparison of Support Vector Machines and ShuffleNet for Detection of Rice Species

Oznur Ozaltin — 2023-08-29

The objective of the current investigation is to identify the optimal approach for the automated identification of rice species based on images. Two types of datasets have been utilized. The initial dataset comprises a total of 75,000 images, including five different rice species, namely Arborio, Basmati, Ipsala, Jasmine, and Karacadag. The dataset is a balanced set comprising 15,000 images for each type. During this dataset's analysis phase, ShuffleNet, one of the pre-trained architectures in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), was used. The second dataset was created by extracting features from the same rice images. 106 distinct features were acquired, which include morphological, shape, and color features as the main features. The previously extracted features have been analyzed for the classification of rice species using Support Vector Machines (SVM), which have a quadratic kernel function. Moreover, the two datasets have been obtained from the URL https://www.muratkoklu.com/datasets/. Additionally, 5- fold cross-validation has been applied for both ShuffleNet and SVM to avoid overfitting. Based on the empirical findings, ShuffleNet has achieved an accuracy rate of 99.8%, while SVM has acquired an accuracy rate of 99.9%. While the results exhibit minimal differences, the optimal algorithm choice may be contingent upon the researcher's level of proficiency in the field.
