    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[INVESTIGATION OF A BIOMASS GASIFICATION SYSTEM BASED ON ENERGY  AND EXERGY ANALYSIS]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Biomass gasification procedure is a very complex process and it is influenced by many  physical and chemical factors such as biomass gasification temperature and gasifier type.  Thermodynamic assessment methodology based on the energy and exergy analysis can be  used to evaluate the system performance and environmental impacts. In this paper,  thermodynamic analysis of the biomass gasification system is given for the whole system and  its components. The parametric studies reveal the effects of design and operating indicators  on the exergy efficiency and exergy destruction rate. The result shows that the gasification  temperatures for the biomass gasification system change significantly with the type of the  gasifying medium.  Keywords: Biomass gasification, energy analysis, exergy analysis, parametric study.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[INVESTIGATION OF AGING TEST METHODS ON ADSS CABLES]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:Dryband Arcing, ADSS Cable, Aging, Insulation material.  ABSTRACT  All dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) fiber optic cables have been installed in power transmission lines. As time passed, ADSS cable failures started to occur since ADSS cables, placed under transmission lines, have been subjected to a high electrical field. Dry band arcing is one of the electrical phenomena that causes most of these failures and it is a common problem in industry. In order to investigate the reasons of cable failures, several studies have been carried out and a new testing method was developed for the IEEE 1222 standard. This new method simulates the actual field conditions for ADSS cables, and at the same time, it determines the dry band arcing resistance. Rather than defining the insulation strength of the cable, the IEEE 1222 method decides the quality of the cable insulation material. In this study; two different dry band arcing test method is used to investigate the surface behavior of ADSS cables. At first cables were tested according to IEEE 1222 test standart then at the same laboratory conditions, ADSS cable samples studied for the first time under the sag conditions. The results taken from the experimental work were studied with weibull statistics. The reliability, unreliability failure rate and probability density functions (pdf), variations acquired and discussed for two different test set up. The statistical comparison gives us that the aging behavior of the ADSS cables is the same under different experimental conditions. ADSS optical cables have so far shown an acceptable performance on lines up to 150 kV. Nonetheless, failures have occurred with ADSS cables installed on lines with a higher voltage. These failures are caused by electrical phenomena, such as corona, sparking and dry band arcing, since the cables are exposed to the strong electrical field environment. The basic concept of the arc resistance test is that the energized cable is sprayed by salt water for few minutes. This produces conducting wet layer on the cable surface and initiate leakage current.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The main aim of this study is focused on surface water quality classification of the  Yesilirmak River (Turkey) and evaluation of pollution dataset obtained by the monitoring  stations. The study shows the application of selected statistical technique to the pollution  monitoring dataset, namely, cluster analysis. Cluster analysis is an exploratory data analysis  tool for solving classifications problems. Its objective is to sort cases into clusters so that  degree of association is strongly members of the same cluster and weak between members of  different clusters. The analysis of the monitoring stations identified two clusters. It was  concluded that agricultural pollution strongly effected Stations II and Station III. Finally, it  was believed to help surface water management to water quality issues and determine  priorities to improve surface water quality.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Since the collapse of central economic planning in the world, former Iron Curtain Countries  have been changing as social, economic and political structures. Some former socialist countries  (such as Bulgaria, Slovenia and Romania) and Greece became full members of the EU.

After the wars, they have started to struggle for the economic,  social and political reconstruction process. Each country in the Balkan Peninsula wants bigger  real per capita income, a better welfare level, and generally to become a developed country. But  these countries have some political, economic and social problems in the development process.  The aim of this paper is to analyze Balkan countries in terms of development indicators such as  per capita GDP, population growth, life expectancy, consumption potential, education, national  income and income distribution in the period of the 2000’s. In addition, new suggestions for  accelerating the development process will be discussed at the end of the study.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, we aimed to investigate the fracture toughness of the calcium  phosphate (CaP) coating, that was formed with Vickers indentation method, by  the new method with the new patent. The activation process was done with NaOH  + H2O2 on the Ti6Al4V material surface. Elasticity module, hardness values and  coating thickness of the CaP coating that is formed by activation process was  calculated. SEM micrographs and EDS analysis were gathered of the coating.  Fracture toughness was determined by Vickers indentation. At the end of this  study, fracture toughness (K1C) value for the CaP coating on Ti6A14V that was  activated by NaOH+ H2O2 was found to be 0.43 MPa m1/2.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, the growth properties of perch (Perca fluviatilis L. 1758) population  living in Urkmez Lake were investigated. The ages of 876 fish specimen which was caught  from june 1997 to May 1999 ranged from I-IV. The population was composed of 52.78 %  females and 47.22 % males. The fork lengths and weights of caught samples on female and  male varied from 15.97 to 32.01 cm, and 15.87 to 31.43 cm and 79.69 to 697.83 g and 80.87  to 674 g, respectively. Length-weight relationships were found as W= 0.0082*L3.2716 for  males, W= 0.01*L3.2097 for females and W=0.0082*L3.2716 for combined sex. Growth  parameters were estimated as; L∞= 49,621 k=0.205, to= -0835 for males, L∞= 49.983,  k=0,212, to= -0.838 for females and L∞= 51.16, k=0,199, to= -0,865 for combined sex.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this study was to investigate the live weights at birth (BW),  weaning (WW), sixth (SW), twelfth (TW) and eighteenth (EW) months of age by  cluster analysis in Konya Merino sheep. k-means clustering methods was used for the  cluster analysis. Clusters were obtained differently according to sex and birth types.  Effects of dam age on BW, WW (P&lt;0.01) and SW (P&lt;0.05) were found to be  significant and its effects on TW and EW were not significant in single born females.  Dam age did not affect BW, WW, SW, TW and EW in twin born females and single  born males. In twin born males, dam age affected only SW (P&lt;0.05).  By the statistically analyses different cluster numbers were determined as 6, 5 and 4  for single born females, twin born females, single and twin born males respectively. The  differences between the clusters in respect of live weights at the same ages were  statistically significant (P&lt;0.01).  At the end of the study, according to live weights at eighteenth month of age, the  third cluster for twin males and the first cluster for single females gave the highest  values.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A sintering procedure in constant heraus muffle furnace was carried out at an  interval of 1600-1900 oC for 50 min dwelling time and 5 oC min-1 cooling rate to improve the  grain growth of magnesia. The effects of temperature on the grain growth and microstructural  examination of samples were investigated by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).  The average grain size was also determined separately by an intercept measurement method.  According to the findings, crystal size and bulk density were enhanced significantly as a  linear relationship with the increasing temperature. For the samples sintered at 1900 oC, a  maximum average grain growth (~100μm) has been obtained. In this paper, the effects of  temperature on the crystal size and bulk density of the treated magnesia and its marketability  were evaluated.]]></dcterms:abstract>
