    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Tunçbilek Open Cast Coal Mine of Garp Lignite Enterprise (GLI) is located in  Kütahya, Turkey and the overburden removal operations are carried out by using  Truck/Shovel Systems which is faced with the problem of changing number of trucks due to  equipment breakdowns. The maintenance of failed trucks are planned to occur at fixed  scheduling days. It is required to determine the operating number of truck drivers for each  operating shifts in a weekly planning horizon. A simple Integer Programming model is  developed using LINGO software to determine the optimum number of truck drivers required  to satisfy the variable number of trucks for each operating shift. The developed model  schedules the trucks drivers optimally for each operating shift in a weekly scheduling period.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Semantic and Operational Contribution of the Conjunctions to the  Improvement of the Linguistic Expression]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the 20th century, with F. de Saussure’s bringing scientific approach to the  language , language/ word separation has been made in the language. The foundation of this  separation was attributed to the language with social dimension and to word with individual  dimension. This perspective led the individuality-based words (spoken language) to come into  prominence. Spoken language, with the freewill of the individual, showed its existence in the  axis of paradigm, the possibility of the unlimited utterance production through the preferred  limited indicator. In the individual expression too, utterances are cultivated and the discourses  are formed with the combination of them. In this process, it was seen that the conjunctions  performed an important semantic and Operational functions. The presence significant  contribution was observed intending for the flexibility of the conjunction expression and  improvement, in this abstract, the impact of the important function that conjunction perform  in the collocation axis to the development of the expression will be discussed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Preferences of Irrigation Methods by Sugar Beet Producers, Their Age  and Educational Levels for Konya - Çumra Region of Turkey]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Agriculture is one of the most important strategic sectors in terms of  the social and economic ways for Turkey. Approximately 35% of the  population has lived in rural areas and there is a huge inactive labor force in  such regions. Success and sustainability of agricultural activities depends on the  education and social structures of farmers. Irrigation and irrigation technologies  are possibly the most important inputs in agricultural activities. This study was  conducted in Konya where it has the greatest agricultural land of Turkey with  25% of the total sugar beet production of Turkey. The preferences of irrigation  methods by sugar beet producers, age distributions, education status, and  number of person in family were researched by face to face technique. The  percentages of farmers in 20-30, 31-40, 41-50 and 51-60 years old were 18.2% ,  22.7%, 35.2% and 23.9%, respectively. The education levels of those farmers  graduated from university, high, and primary schools were determined as  12.5%, 23.3%, and 64.2%, respectively. The number of person in most family  varied from 5 to 8. The 95% of the farmers have preferred sprinkler irrigation  method. The preference of drip irrigation method was 4.7% for high school  graduated farmers. The 89.3% of the farmers defined that irrigation charges  were expensive. The overall result of the study showed that increasing the  education level in farmers contributed sensitivity of farmers for the water  saving irrigation technologies]]></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>

    <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: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: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: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>
