    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Green Technologies And Strategies  The Detarmination Of The Direction Of Wind According To The Years]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Renewable energy sources are seen as an important source in meeting the  requirement of energy increasing gradually. One of these most outstanding  renewable energy sources is the wind energy whose technology and usage  develops most rapidly. To be able to make use of the wind energy effectively, it  should be cared that the dominant wind speed direction should be open enough in  surrounding. In this direction, to benefit from these wind tribunes more effectively  the wind measures must be done the montage of these tribunes should also be  done taking into consideration of these dominant open directions.  In this study, the wind measurements have been done hourly for five years and  consequently the dominant wind direction have been found out as North Northeast  (NNE) and East Southeast (ESE). At the same time, it has also been figured out at  the end of the study that there is absolutely no change in the direction of the wind  where it blows dominantly during these five years. In this direction, it has been  seen that there is no effective change in the direction of dominant winds  accordingly in years in that area and a year of measurement would be highly  enough to determine the dominant wind direction in the area.  Keywords: Renewable energy, wind energy, wind direction, wind tribune, wind  speed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Estimating The Number Of Daily Patient Applications By Using Artificial Neural  Networks]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study is aiming at estimating the patient volumes of hospitals by using artificial neural  networks. In order to train the artificial neural network models in this study, historical patient  applications data from a Turkish hospital were used. All patient applications counted as daily  numbers during three years and dependent variable of our study (patient_count) is derived. A  different approach used in this study and instead of a single independent variable (which is  time), four different time periods were used as input variables of the artificial neural network  models. These input variables were day of month, day of week, month, and year. Several  artificial neural network models have been generated and compared with each other by their  predictive performance measures. The best predictive artificial neural network architecture  has an estimation accuracy of 94.22 percent. This artificial neural network model has an input  layer with four neurons, an output layer with one neuron, and only one hidden layer with  nineteen neurons. The arithmetic mean of patient application in a day is 755.93  (S.d.=486.60). Mean error of the artificial neural network model is -0.047 and mean absolute  error is 105.64. The linear correlation between the actual values and the predicted values of  the number of patients is 0.918.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effects of Basic Macroeconomic Prices on Manufacturing Industry Production in  Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this research; the effects of macroeconomic prices, such as interest rate, exchange rate,  energy prices and wages, on Turkish manufacture industry production in the period 1992-  2008 are investigated. The aim of the research is to bring current macroeconomic policies in  Turkey up for discussion once more. In this framework, the economic policies implemented  in Turkey since 1980 are elaborated in the first place in order to interpret the economic trends  between the years 1992 and 2008 ideally. Then for the purpose of analyzing the mentioned  relations, various econometric methods are used. First of all, ARDL Bound Test is applied to  series in order to investigate the long run relationship among them. Secondly, causality  relationships are questioned by using Granger Causality Test based on Hsiao Approach; and  impulse-response functions and variance decomposition tables obtained from Vector  Autoregressive Model (VAR) are elaborated. At last, findings are evaluated within the  economic framework drawn beforehand and the research is concluded by policy proposals.  Accordingly, long run relationship among variables cannot be found, however at the end of  causality tests all the variables except real wages are found to be “Granger cause of  production”. Moreover, the impulse-response functions put forward that the production  reacted negatively to real interest rate, positively to real effective exchange rate and  negatively to real energy prices. The coefficient derived for real wages, on the other hand, is  discovered to be insignificant. This can be explained by the export orientation policy that has  targeted foreign demand instead of domestic. Above all, it should not be neglected that real  wage level deserves considerable interest since it determines wealth of the majority of  society. As a result of the analyses and assessments in the research, it can be concluded that  these variables can and should be utilized as efficient and essential policy tools.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Sustainability of budget deficits is one of the most important macroeconomic problems in  most countries. High public spending and insufficiency of public revenue are main reasons  collapsing of Greek, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland economies. For this reason, the  conservation of budget balance and sustainability of budget deficits have a great importance.  In this study; in selected 20 European Union countries and Turkey, the sustainability of  budget deficit was analyzed with via under cross-section dependence panel co-integration  analysis. At the end of the analysis; cross-section dependence was determined in these  countries. Therefore, an economic shock which will come to one of these countries, affects  the others, too. For this reason, the shocks that have been come to series don’t eliminate in the  long term Co-integration relationship couldn&#039;t found between these series. Consequently, it  has been seen budget deficits of these countries were unsustainable in the long term.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Women’s Role In Economic Development: From Classical Approach To The Present]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this study is to examine women’s role in economic development from a historical  perspective. Many classical economists considered women to be irrational as economic  agents. They took it for granted that women were paid less than men. Feminist economists  criticise traditional-neoclassical economics claiming that conceptual basis for the mainstream  economic knowledge is gender discrimination and women’s experiences are not reflected in  economics. For this reason, they suggest that economic horizon be broadened by reviewing  and questioning economics, including women’s perspective.  Towards the end of the 1980s, the concept of human development was improved and United  Nations Development Programme (UNDP) started working under the name of Human  Development Index (HDI) in order to measure the development levels of countries. In the  same way, studies on the elimination of gender-related inequality that is one of the new  dimensions of development concept were started by UNDP. In this context, Gender-Related  Development Index (GDI) was developed. Furthermore, Gender Empowerment Measure  (GEM) has been emerged to measure the distribution and participation of women in the economic and political life. In recent years, The World Bank has shifted its focus from  structural adjustment to poverty reduction. The growing interest to the problems of gender  and women has been an important part of this process. When gender inequality is not taken  into consideration, economic growth and development cannot be handled effectively, because  poverty leads to gender inequality and gender inequality negatively affects economic  development.  Considered as a human capital, human factor is a fundamental determinant of economic  development. In this context, the major target of economic development is to improve life  standards and to provide equal opportunities in health, education, employment for everybody  without gender discrimination. Women should be involved in the current economic  development plans, programs and projects with the help of the government policy.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Recent debates about renewable energy consumption manifest two main expectations. Firstly,  renewable energy consumption should contribute to economic growth and secondly, it should  not cause a damage on environment. This study focuses on the first issue by applying  bootstrap-corrected causality test for the US since empirical literature criticizes the Toda-  Yamamoto test which bases on asymptotic distribution. The models consist of real GDP,  employment, investment and kinds of renewable energy consumption. Only one causal  relationship was found from biomass-waste-drived energy consumption to real GDP. No  causal relationship was found between real GDP and all of the other renewable energy kinds –  total renewable energy consumption, geothermal energy consumption, hydro-electric energy  consumption, biomass energy consumption and biomass-wood-drived energy consumption.  That is using of energy from waste cause not only solving the dumping problems but also it  contributes to real GDP. For policy purpose, the results of this study suggest that countries  should concentrate on energy producing from waste as an alternative energy resource.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The efficiency of Wheat Straw (WS) and modified Wheat Straw (MWS) in removing Cr(VI)  ions from aqueous solution was studied. Batch experiments were designed to obtain Cr(VI)  ion sorption data. The influences of contact time, pH, adsorbent dose and initial chromium  concentration on adsorption process performance was researched and an appropriate  adsorption isotherm of Cr(VI) adsorption on (WS) and (MWS) was determined. The results of  this study showed that adsorption of chromium by (RWS) and (MWS) reached to equilibrium  after 120 min and after that a little change of chromium removal efficiency was observed.  Higher Cr(VI) adsorption was observed at lower pH and maximum Cr(VI) concentration and  lower adsorbent doses. The equilibrium sorption capacity of Cr(VI) ion after 120 min was  28.6 and 81.9 mg/g for (WS) and (MWS) respectively. The investigated adsorbents showed  different adsorption capacities for Cr(VI) ions. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms have been  used to characterize observed biosorption phenomena of Cr(VI) ions on (MWS). The carboxyl  groups on the surface of (MWS) were primarily responsible for the sorption of Cr(VI) ions.  Keywords: Sorption; Cr(VI); Agricultural by-product; Citric acid]]></dcterms:abstract>
