Hepatitis is a major public health problem all around the world. Hepatitis disease diagnosis via proper interpretation of the hepatitis data is an important classification problem. In this study, a comparative hepatitis disease diagnosis study was realized. For this purpose, a probabilistic neural network structure was used. The results of the study were compared with the results of the previous studies reported focusing on hepatitis disease diagnosis and using same UCI machine learning database.

The most ideal learning about a topic is to put the theoretical knowledge into practice. Computer Architecture and Organization course plays a significant role in the electronics engineering, computer engineering and similar disciplines. To convert practice the concepts handled in this course is not easy task. In this paper, we present a computer architecture simulator design named BZK.SAU. It has fifty nine instructions that are commonly used in commercial microprocessors. Also, it has eleven registers and implements interrupt, stack and input-output operations. This simulator with memory of 64 KB uses sixteen bits data bus to communicate between registers, memory, and peripheral devices. This simulator is a useful tool for Computer Architecture and Organization course since all units of this simulator can be examined in detail. Many of the simulators in the literature have been designed using a software programming language. These simulators can help to enhance learning the concepts in Computer Architecture and Organization course. However, examining the internal structure of the units in these simulators is not possible. The simulator designed in this paper allows being able to analyze the internal structures since all units of this simulator was designed at logic gate level. Additionally, the Assembler and Compiler Programs was written for this Simulator in the Microsoft Visual Studio. NET platform.The students can watch the execution of the assembly code written using these programs. Also, they can watch step by step changes on its registers and other units by adjusting the clock speed in the sim ulator.

This article describes a modular approach to FPGA-based micro computer architecture design for supporting undergraduate courses in computer science and related discipline. We have adopted the modular approach to the second FPGA version of the BZK.SAU[6] named BZK.SAU.FPGA10

This manuscript focuses on the results of a project study on the field programmable gate array (FPGA) and modular based microcomputer architecture design for improving the teaching and learning effectiveness in computer organization course and similar courses. The design mentioned in this manuscript is a unique system allowing to students to directly write their program and/or include their own designs. The main objective of this study is to improve the teaching effectiveness in the computer organization course at graduate level via hands‐on learning. The goal of the project is to encourage students to create their unique microcomputer designs since this design has modular structure and the fundamental elements which a simple computer has. Also it is to make appropriate modifications using students’ concerns and the results of project study for computer architecture and organization course for next semesters. To evaluate the improvement of the teaching and learning effectiveness, the students enrolled in the computer organization course in computer engineering department are divided into two groups. A student survey is conducted to provide students with an opportunity to have their views about this methodology at computer organization course. The results of the survey acquired with the probability density distribution function reveal the effectiveness of this methodology with FPGA development environment.

Logic circuits can generally be classified into two categories, combinational and sequential logic circuits. In the sequential circuit design, although it is easy to construct a state transition table from state transition diagram, creating an excitation table according to memory type is a very laborious and time-consuming task. There are several software-based applications and hardware description languages to describe the structure and behavior of electronic circuits. This will take more time and persistence much like learning any other skill. Computer science degrees include courses focused mainly on programming languages. There's a strong case to be made for use of skills acquired in programming courses to shorten the learning curve. Thus, this work has proposed a method for the implementation of the circuit only the state equations of the sequential circuit without dealing with excitation tables. This allows to model the behavior of circuit through buttonbox, checkbox, textbox etc. which are basic elements of the graphical user interface based programming language. The questionnaire was applied to assess the change in the student's learning activity and perceptions of the proposed method. The results provide that this method is an effective and engaging way of teaching the sequential circuit design.
