    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Democracy and Economic Development in Turkey:  An Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The aim of this paper is to perform an exploratory spatial data analysis on the  democracy and development level of the 76 Turkish regions over 1995-2001. While our  choropleth maps indicate that the Western part of the country is significantly more developed  than the East, the tools of spatial statistics reveal the presence of spatial dependence across  provinces. The presence of heterogeneity is reflected in the distribution of LISA statistics.  Overall, our results shed new light on the distribution of growth across Turkish regions and its  relation with participation rates in general elections.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Teacher Attitudes in Mixed Ability Classes]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to tap the problems in the mixed ability classrooms, and  comment on what the reactions of English teachers towards them should be. Having students who  exhibit a wide range of English language ability in the same class often leads to serious  pedagogical problems mostly because they are not well-motivated. Besides this, such kinds of  students sometimes cause discipline problems, which not only spoils the teaching atmosphere, but  also sometimes prevents teaching and learning activities in the curriculum. As for solutions we,  teachers, generally act in different ways; some take it easy, while some take it very seriously.  Actually, experienced teachers mostly deal with the above mentioned problem intuitively;  however, the topic is crucial enough to examine academically. All in all, this paper will suggest  and remind us of some practical and significant solutions to the problems regarding mixed ability  classes. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[A Stochastic non-linear optimization model using Quadratic Programming  (QP) is presented for a hypothetical blending type problem in mining industry.  Microsoft Excel 10.0 Solver is used to develop the model for a three-seam coal mine  and data are hypothetically generated for a case study problem. Optimum quantities of  each run of mine (r.o.m) coal with variability in calorific values to be fed to a nearby  power plant are determined with given specifications. QPs arise directly in such  applications as least-squares regression with bounds or linear constraints, robust data  fitting, Markowitz portfolio optimization, data mining, support vector machines and  tribology. They also arise as sub problems in optimization algorithms for nonlinear  programming and in stochastic optimization.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[As with many other fields, technological developments have rapid effects on the field  of education. The use of new technologies in the field of education has been followed by ISTE  (International Society for Technology in Education) and is conveyed as a standard. The  sufficiency requirements of today’s teachers regarding the use of technology is determined by the  NETS*T standard. This research studies the changes taking place in the sufficiencies of teachers  regarding the use of technology by analyzing the old and new NETS*T (National Educational  Technology Standards for Teachers) standards as well as the indicators of these standards.   Regarding teachers’ sufficiencies on the use of technology; the speed of technological change,  changing roles towards a guide and model (as opposed to an educator) and various innovations  brought by the internet (the digital age, digital citizenship etc.) can be described as important  determinants. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Teaching VAK-abulary]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Research on the understanding of the brain and how people learn have introduced  the VAK learning styles model to the ELT world in the last two decades. The VAK learning   Style -  Neuro-linguistic programming model (NLP) - addresses a learner’s three main sensory  receivers - Vision, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. Teacher feedback and the findings of prevailing  research into the field indicate that teachers’ ability in simultaneous practice of all three styles  in their EFL classes boosts language learners’ success almost in all language skills, including  vocabulary teaching. Studies on brain and cognition also show that strength of memory  depends mostly on how deeply information is processed. The purpose of this presentation is to  demonstrate that we will not only maintain a lively foreign language class atmosphere but also  provide our students with strong memory when we teach new vocabulary by tapping learners’  VAK sensory receivers which are brain friendly learning styles. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Steganography techniques, which are a set of data hiding algorithms utilizing  mathematical methods, have revealed significant advancement by means of latest computing  technologies. Although many distinct steganography techniques have been suggested and  implemented, an ideal solution has not been reached so far. The primary objective for  steganography is to achieve a secure data transfer through a communication channel without  attracting attention of unauthorized third parties. Since encryption methods do not meet the  steganography requirements, a couple of data masking methods are also required. The  performance of a steganography method can be assessed with the statistical similarity between  cover media and stego media. In this paper, we have developed a blind steganography  technique based on Human Vision System (HVS) using visible light wavelength approach. The  proposed technique maintains virtually imperceptible alterations in the stego-video by means  of the HVS approach. In addition, the technique developed does not require the cover video in  the recovery phase so that it provides more secure manner in many types of applications.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Energy consumption is main cost part in marble cutting processing with  circular sawblades. There exist many parameters that effect the energy consumption. It  is possible to ensure optimization in the consumed energy if effects of such parameters  can be fully understood. In this study, the effects of travel speed and saw rotation  speed on energy consumption for two different natural stones. Cutting tests are realized  with the computer controlled test set. In tests, while travel and saw rotation speeds are  selected in different values, the cutting depth and cooling water is kept fixed. The  results obtained for two cut stones indicate that travel and saw rotation speeds have  significant effects on the consumed energy and the effect of travel speed is greater than  the effect of saw rotation speed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There is no suspect that qualified human capital has positive effects on  sustainable development. In particular, on local and regional development, it comes to  the fore. In this respect, when it is evaluated, the importance with regard to this will  come out in terms of regional development issues. In this regard, it is believed that the  urban settlements which has a large portion of the human population is a very effective  element and it has been come forward. Ergonomics in the creation of sustainable cities,  can be considered as an important tool. If this problems that arising from environment  and human conditions is not minimized, the formation of conditions threatened to lives  of individuals are likely to increase. Consequently, this study is expressed that along  with current problem by developing a variety of solutions, providing more qualified  urban life in Erzurum will make a great contribution to sustainable local development.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Turkey is the country having the largest boron reserves in the world. 72% of the  world boron reserves is in Turkey. Commercial boron ores include colemanite, tincal and  ulexite in Turkey. +3 mm ulexite fraction produced in ulexite concentration plant is exported,  but -3 mm fraction, which has 16.6 % B2O3 cannot be sold and is piled up in the mine area.  The Taguchi method has been used to determine optimum conditions for stabilization of CO2  gas with ulexite. Chosen experimental parameters and their ranges were (i) reaction  temperature, 5-40 °C; (ii) solid-to-liquid ratio (in weight), 0.1-0.5; (iii) ; (iv) mean particle  size; -600 -150 mm; (v) stirring speed, 300-700 rpm; (vi) reaction time, 15-120 min. The  optimum conditions were found to be reaction temperature, 40 °C; solid-to-liquid ratio, 0.1;  mean particle size, -150 mm; stirring speed, 500 rpm and reaction time, 90 min. Under these  optimum conditions and 29.78 L CO2/kg ulexite was stabilized.]]></dcterms:abstract>
