We have developed an algorithm to efficiently eliminate unwanted reflections typically observed in the data obtained by Terahertz time-domain spectroscopic (THz-TDS) methods. The algorithm works by eliminating the reflections from the boundaries. The numerical improvement of the data allows better analysis of the critical parameters obtained by THz-TDS systems.

Numerical methods for multiphysics flow problems
Belenli Akbaş, Mine; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Rebholz, Leo G.; Department of Mathematics (2016)
In this dissertation, efficient and reliable numerical algorithms for approximating solutions of multiphysics flow problems are investigated by using numerical methods. The interaction of multiple physical processes makes the systems complex, and two fundamental difficulties arise when attempting to obtain numerical solutions of these problems: the need for algorithms that reduce the problems into smaller pieces in a stable and accurate way and for large (sometimes intractable) amount of computational resou...
Optimising a nonlinear utility function in multi-objective integer programming
Ozlen, Melih; Azizoğlu, Meral; Burton, Benjamin A. (2013-05-01)
In this paper we develop an algorithm to optimise a nonlinear utility function of multiple objectives over the integer efficient set. Our approach is based on identifying and updating bounds on the individual objectives as well as the optimal utility value. This is done using already known solutions, linear programming relaxations, utility function inversion, and integer programming. We develop a general optimisation algorithm for use with k objectives, and we illustrate our approach using a tri-objective i...
Integrated nonlinear regression analysis of tracer and well test data
Akın, Serhat (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01)
One frequent observation from conventional pressure transient test analysis is that field data match mathematical models derived for homogeneous systems. This observation suggests that pressure data as presently interpreted may not contain details concerning certain reservoir heterogeneities. On the other hand, tracer tests may be more sensitive to heterogeneous elements present in the reservoir because of the convective nature of the flow test. In this study, a possible improvement of conventional pressure...
Consensus clustering of time series data
Yetere Kurşun, Ayça; Batmaz, İnci; İyigün, Cem; Department of Scientific Computing (2014)
In this study, we aim to develop a methodology that merges Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and consensus clustering in a single algorithm. Mostly used time series distance measures require data to be of the same length and measure the distance between time series data mostly depends on the similarity of each coinciding data pair in time. DTW is a relatively new measure used to compare two time dependent sequences which may be out of phase or may not have the same lengths or frequencies. DTW aligns two time serie...
Rigorous optimizations of three dimensional antenna arrays using full wave simulations
Onol, Can; Gokce, Ozer; Boyacı, Huseyın; Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2015-07-09)
We present optimizations of three-dimensional antenna arrays using heuristic techniques coupled with the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Without resorting to any periodicity and infinity assumptions, antenna arrays are modeled with surface integral equations and simulated via MLFMA, which also enables the analysis of arrays with non-identical elements. Genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization methods are employed on the complex data produced by MLFMA in phasor domain to find optimal s...
