    <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: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:abstract><![CDATA[The objective of this study is to offer the alternative policies and strategies in the  context of destination marketing which would be followed by the destination management  organizations and touristic businesses in marketing their services and products to minimize the  impacts of the economic crisis on touristic destinations when the probability of economic crisis is  high, and to contribute to the studies that have been done on this issue. The questionnaire method  was chosen to collect the data in this study. Sample questions were presented via Five-point  Likert and Category Scales. The number of tourism agents operating in Turkey is 5,801, and 2000  of those, that is 33.6%, are in Istanbul. Therefore, considering the time constraint, number of  travel agencies in Istanbul constitutes our study population. The study sample is 300 Type A, B, C  tourism agencies in Istanbul selected by simple random sampling method and corresponding to  15% of the study population. The data obtained was analyzed in computer environment by using  SPSS for Windows package program. Demographic data obtained from survey was subjected to  frequency analysis; appropriate data was subjected to the Chi-square test.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <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[Water resources development is one of the most important national development  factors for developing countries whereas it is a service sector issue in developed countries.  Water management has become one of the conflict areas as the demand for water increases  while the resources available degrade. As a solution to this, integrated water resources  management has been proposed to make tradeoffs among the parties involved. This article  discusses the issues of integrated water resources management with its possible links with  sustainable development.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In Turkey, there is an area of 465.913 hectares which is subject to wind  erosion. 103.000 hectares of this area is in the Karapınar district of Konya province.  The Karapınar district of Konya faced the risk of emigration in the 1960s because of  reasons such as that the region was an old lake bed and the climate of the region was  extremely hot, soil properties etc. The soils lost their yield capacity, the dunes rose,  clouds of dust and sand storms made life difficult for the people living in the area as  the result of erosion in that period. Because of these problems, the first studies started  in 1962. An area of 160.000 decares was taken under control. As the result of  approximately 47 years of improvement practice, which constitutes the topic of this  paper, today, activities aimed at research and production are also being maintained in  Karapınar.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Effects of Various Fibres in a Thin Biocomposite Material]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There are a number of methods for producing biocomposite materials for different  purposes. Wet lying methods are widely used in utilising especially short cellulosic fibres  which offers random mixing and formation of homogenous filtrate over a travelling web. The  method also contains wet pressing and controlled drying stages for achieving maximum fibrefibre  bonding. Fibres having different chemical compositions and physical properties behave  differently in moving/draining suspensions which often give bad formation and heterogeneity  in produced materials. Nevertheless, various fibres with different desirable properties are  required to be finely blended in a suspension for getting targeted materials. This study  investigated the effects of various fibres in a thin cellulosic material. It was aimed to see the  possibility of using some short fibres, regarded as waste materials, in producing thin cellulosic  matrix.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to tell the convergence process which is being tried to be  created by using the izomorfism concept with the standards of international accounting and  financial reporting about accounting records and financial reporting throughout the country.  Convergence is the activity in which accounting and related sections work together with the  purpose of contributing to the developement of a team of accounting standards for every country  to be able to use them globally. However, in the studies done in this concept direction it is seen  that, by ignoring the differences between countries and the negativenesses resulted form county  dynamics, these studies gradually turn into the shape of an obligatory izomorfism. Obligatory  izomorfism concerns the way in wich organizations are subject to external pressure, either from  organizations they depend upon, or from more general cultural expectations. We think that , as a  result of these applications, in the future the regulations that each country will form by adding  their own dynamics will come out and the applications will be similar, not the same.]]></dcterms:abstract>
