    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Motivating Young EFL Learners Through Effective Classroom  Management]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Finding the best way to catch the attention of young EFL learners through  effective classroom management by means of games, realia, role-playing and, drama  is of great significance due to the fact that the world of young learners consists of  visual images, pictures, and games, so they are under the bombardment of all these.  They live in an age of visualization. Depending upon this, it will also be mentioned  that how the ELF teachers will catch the attention of the young EFL learners, which  is actually one of the problematic area in classroom management. The reason is that  just standing in front of the classroom, and trying to teach something to the students  make no sense right now, in the stark contrast, the students themselves want  movement and action, and they would like to be much more involved in the class.  Normally thinking, the learners is not roped to the class. However, the matter is that  in order to learn regularly and peacefully, the students must feel themselves relaxed,  they should be in peace, it shouldn’t be a kind of torture, and the teacher should vary  the activities in the class so as to free from monotonous atmosphere. All of these  things leave an impact on the students’ psychology and their motivational level either  positively or negatively. Therefore, the main objective of the study is to depict how to  motivate young EFL learners through effective classroom management by means of  games, realia, role-playings, drama, and body language of the teacher. From this  perspective, this study will focus on the sustainable development in the foreign  language teaching and learning fundamentally for young EFL learners]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The usage of waste materials as an additive material has became widespread, in  soil stabilization. This case was positive effects on environment by means of recycling,  regains to economy and reducing environmental pollutions. In this study, marble dust had  been used as an additive material in clay soil. Marble dust is a waste of the marble industry  and despite its recycling in various industries, there is still a significant amount of marble dust  left as waste.  In this study, soil specimens were sampled from different locations in the ANS campus of  Afyon Kocatepe University. These specimens were mixed with waste marble dust at ratios of  5%, 10% and 15%. Geotechnical experiments were carried out on specimens. Test results  shows that marble dust have affected consolidation characteristics of clay soils. Especially,  swelling index and consolidation index of specimens were decreased. This decrease is  important in point of swelling potential of clay soils.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Verification And Validation Of The Devs Models]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Simulation remains attractive for teaching, training and performance analysis of  computer networks. This paper presents a robust simulation environment targeted for teaching  and learning the complex dynamics of computer networks. The general-purpose DEVS-Suite  simulator supports animation with I/O and state trajectories of computer network models  developed using parallel DEVS modeling approach. The simulator offers high-level model  abstraction as compared with simulators such as ns-2. The combined capabilities afforded by  the robust DEVS-Suite simulator assists in understanding the fundamentals of computer  network topologies and the logics of communication protocols. This newly developed DEVSSuite  offers an expressive, yet relatively simple to use, simulation environment for students  and educators to develop and experiment with computer network models. The paper  concludes with observations on the proposed modeling approach and outline some  evaluations.  In this paper we discuss verification and validation of DEVS simulation models. Four  different approaches to deciding model validity are described; two different paradigms that  relate verification and validation to the model development process are presented; various  validation techniques are defined; conceptual model validity, model verification, operational  validity, and data validity are discussed; a way to document results is given; a recommended  procedure for model validation is presented; and model accreditation is briefly discussed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Estimation of Phenotypic and Genetic Parameters and Effect of Some  Factors on Birth Weight in Brown Swiss Calves in Turkey Using  MTDFREML]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The objective of this study was therefore to assess the influence of the age of dam,  sex of calf, birth type, season and year of birth of the calf on birth weight and to estimate  phenotypic and genetic parameters for birth weight for Brown Swiss cattle in Turkey using  Multiple Trait Derivative Free Restricted Maximum Likelihood (MTDFREML). A total of  1437 calf birth weight records of Brown Swiss cows raised at Altınova State Farm in Konya  Province were used for estimation of phenotypic and genetic parameters for calf birth weight.  Phenotypic and genetic parameters were estimated by MTDFREML programme using a  Single Trait Animal Model (STAM). The model included additive direct effect, maternal  permanent environment and errors as random effects, birth type, sex of calf, season of birth,  year of birth and age of dam as fixed effects. Calf birth weight least square mean was  determined as 39.20 ± 2.42 kg, the direct heritability (h2  a), maternal heritability (h2  m) and the  repeatability (r) of calf birth weight were calculated as 0.12 ± 0.06, 0.15 ± 0.006 and 0.12 ±  0.06, respectively. The breeding value of dam, sire and calves were calculated. Minimum and  maximum breeding value of calves and its accuracy were -1.037 ± 0.66, 0.979 ± 0.68, 0.41  and 0.45, respectively. The effect of birth type, sex of calf, season of birth, year of birth and  age of dam on calf birth weight were significant (P&lt;0.01).]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[WSNs consist of sensor nodes with limited capacity, low cost and communicating  with each other in short distances using considerably low power rate. The nodes can be  dispersed randomly into intended region in which they are used for measurement and  monitoring purposes within the frame of a common scenario. They are used in many areas  ranging from military fields to public health services because of their wide range properties.  In this application fields, there are some requirements to appear that the wireless sensor nodes  can be monitoring by remote-controlled and the data which are picked up from where the  system is placed can be processed. This paper describes the design of web based interface for  wireless sensor networks. The proposed web-based interface provide configuration of the  network and access to real-time and archived temperature, humidity, light data through any  Internet-capable device.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Since the collapse of socialism, Balkan countries have been changing as social,  economic and politic structure. Some former socialist countries (Bulgaria, Slovenia and  Romania) and Greece became full member of EU. Some Balkan countries (Serbia,  Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Macedonia) lived difficult war years. After  the wars, they have started to struggle for economic, social and political reconstruction  process. Each country in Balkan Peninsula wants bigger real per capita income, better welfare  level, and generally become a developed country. But these countries have some political,  economic and social problems in development process. The aim of this paper is to analysis  Balkan countries in terms of development indicators such as education, population, national  income and income distribution in 2000s. Moreover, new suggestions will be offered to  accelerate development process at the end of paper.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Alternative Financing Models for Sustainable Housing Finance System: Some  Proposals for Participation Banks in Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This study examines some alternative financing models for sustainable housing  development. As alternatives to conventional interest-based home financing modes, several  financing models are currently in existence, the dominant among which are the cost plus sale (buyand-  sell principle) and the diminishing partnership and lease contracts. In this study, the  alternative financing models compare to the conventional financing (interest-based) system using  illustration from banking practices. The paper examines the differences between the two and goes  on to discuss specific problems of housing finance. In relation to the alternative financing models,  the paper concludes that the diminishing partnership and lease contracts have several advantages  over the cost plus sale for the customer. When implemented through Turkish participation banks  and cooperatives, the diminishing partnership can provide an investment avenue for members  through the fractional reserve money creation process. Consequently, if alternative housing  financing models are adopted worldwide, sustainable housing finance system might be more stable  and fair.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Competency-Graph Based Elearning Content Development For Halal  Quality Control]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Processing and the production of the food and dairy products is one of the most critical  industrial sectors because of its direct effect on human health. On the other hand, echo-ethical  concepts such as Kosher, Vegetarian and Halal terms are becoming more popular for certain  communities.  The concept of Halal on food production and its importance for Muslim communities makes it a great  business opportunity in all around the world with its potential of exceeding 500 billion USD.  Generating standards for Halal Quality and transforming the religious rules in today’s industry and  implementing the Halal concept on food production with well-documented procedures require the  combination of various knowledge with systems engineering practices. More effective and efficient  ways have to be also developed to disseminate this knowledge. Since a universal set of standards for  Certification of Halal is not established yet, Halal Accreditation Agencies in different parts of the  world follow various standards to their best. This paper suggests an approach to develop elearning  content in order to facilitate the training for Halal Quality Control and Certification practices. It is  based on the establishment of competency-graphs according to the standards set in general guidelines  of Codex Alimentarius Commission, Malaysian and Bosnian (CACMB) Standards. The suggested  competency-graphs in this paper may be used as a model for designing an elearning platform in  training all related parties before and during the Halal quality control and certification processes.]]></dcterms:abstract>
