    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Effects and Role of Regional Development Agencies  in Economic Crises]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Regional development agencies,when looked at their historical.development  started to be constructed after the World Economic Crisis of 1929. Especially due to the  economic and social effects of the Second World War and interregional imbalances  ,regional development agencies around the world became prominent. Countries have  began to understand that to get rid of the effects of the Economic crisis or to minimize  them , emphasizing the potentialities of the region themselves are so important that they  could compete with the world. Regional development agencies play the most important  role in the development of the region, considering the properties of each region.  Globalization has to adapt itself to the recent circumstances in order for all the unıts in  economy to be competitive. At the same time,we must benefit from the potentials of all  the regions to improve the economic conditions of the countries. Efficient use of  resources must be provided by preparing crisis programmes suitable to the region and  presenting them to the government to take which has been an effective precautions in  the crisis times. Regional imbalance problem has been an agenda in Turkey for years and  planned development started in the 1960s,thereby supporting the regional development  with the help of 5- year development programmes. In order for Turkey to increase the  competition power of the regions and to accelerate development , ıt has to give primary  importance to regional development and the agencies which play an important role in  it.In this study, the primary focus is to investigate the role and effects of development  agencies especially in the face of economic crises.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Determination of University Selection Based Upon Analytic Hierarchy  Process]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The most important factor in career planning of a person is to direct him depending  upon his features. The best way of choosing career is to compare the wishes of a person with the  requirements of that career so that he can decide the best one. Particularly, those who think to have  a university education for their careers come across difficulties while deciding on their career path  on account of the fact that the global world can offer various opportunities for education in a great  many places. The student must choose by taking into account some criteria. As an example,  several factors play a crucial role in this process such as the academic success of the university, the  working opportunities provided, the distance of the university to the hometown of the student, the  economic status of that city, the facilities of accommodation. Considering all these factors, the  student should give an optimal decision. In this context, the common decision including both the  personal different opinions and convincing for all is strongly needed. AHP (Analytic Hierarchy  Process) has gained a very big momentum at these kind of situations.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper describes a developed Multilingual Media Monitoring System (MMMS)  software and reports how it may be utilized to effectively facilitate PR facilities at an academic  institution in Balkans.  There are many international charity projects of Turkey in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).  These institutes comprise the academics and businessmen both from Turkey and Bosnia. Due to  major number of the stakeholders and students from Turkey and Bosnia as well as other  different countries, and the mission of such an institution to become an international Balkan  institution requires the establishment to perform PR facilities in Balkans effectively in a multinational  and multilingual manner. Therefore, a software system called Multilingual Media  Monitoring System (MMMS) was developed by the authors herein to manage the PR facilities  more effectively by easing the collection, search and evaluation of the news in Balkan region  and Turkey. The paper describes the system in detail.]]></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:title><![CDATA[The Effects of Initial Boron Concentration on Energy Consumption in  Boron Removal by Electrocoagulation]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, it was investigated initial boron concentration affecting energy  consumption in boron removal from boron containing wastewaters prepared  synthetically, via electrocoagulation method. Initial boron concentration of solution was  selected as experimental parameter affecting energy consumption. The other parameters  such as solution pH, current density and temperature of solution were kept constant  during reaction time. Experiments were carried out with different initial boron  concentrations ranging from 100, 250, 500 and 1000mg/L. Increasing initial boron  concentration caused to increase specific conductivity of solution. Specific conductivity  of solution was a important parameter on energy consumption of electrocoagulation  system. The higher specific conductivity of solution caused to the lower energy  consumption values. While energy consumption value was 49,87 kW-h/m3 for 100  mg/L initial boron concentration, this value was decreased to 14, 3 kW-h/m3 for 1000  mg/L initial boron concentration under 3.0 mA/cm2 of current density, pH 8.0, 293 K of  solution temperature and 150 rpm of stirring speed.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The fact that financial crises have happened with regular intervals and probably  will happen in the future in much the same way has attracted great attention on the  dynamics of crises from scholars as well as policy makers, and causes and remedies have  been intensively discussed in the literature. Some have argued that deregulation of  financial markets have significantly contributed to the recent crises, and thus they very  much favor for sound regulation on financial markets, especially on big investment banks.  Conversely, the other view strongly disfavors the aforementioned vision, and supports the  liberal idea that the state should not intervene the market with any tool including the  regulation. The objective of this study is to analyze the dynamics of the recent crises,  investigate their causes, and discuss whether the states can be held responsible against  them in the sense of (de)regulating the markets and ensuring the stability of the system.  As a case study, the Obama administration&#039;s new bank plan is examined to shed lights on  the current discussion.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, nonlinear vibrations of curved Euler-Bernoulli beams carrying  arbitrarily placed concentrated masses have been investigated. Sag-to-span ratio of the beam,  which was assumed to have sinusoidal curvature function at the beginning, was taken as 1/10.  Equations of motion were obtained by using Hamilton Principle. Cubic nonlinear terms  aroused at the mathematical model because of the elongations occurred during the vibrations  of the simple-simple supported beam. Method of multiple scales, a perturbation technique,  was used for solving the equations of motion about analytically. Natural frequencies were  obtained for different numbers, sizes and locations of the masses as control parameters.  Analytical solutions were found for primary resonance case. Frequency-amplitude and  frequency-response graphs were drawn using different control parameters for these resonance  cases. Stability of the solutions was investigated in detail.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[After the “alle”s which were constituded in Medieval, greenways that took form  with the “parkway” idea of Olmsted and Vaux in XIX. Century are the open space connectors  which arrange parks, natural reserves, historical sites, and their cultural components. The  greenways which have been constituted with ecological, cultural, recreational and aesthetic  purposes are also important constituents of urban open and green area system.  The planning approach of greenways and the open and green area systems that they connected  with, have interesting examples in England and America. But in our country this planning  approach hasn’t stil been settled. It’s also possible to observe this in Kayseri urban complex.  However there are areas which surround the city and be considered as “greeenway”.  Especially the narrow-deep valleys that surround the city from south-east are unplanned  “greenways” which analyse the transition from urban to rural areas, and existing their rich  cultural petterns. The city in which rapid urbanization continue with the impact of the  industriy, combining with the tresholds on the south make possible of forming a greenbelt  here. In this study it wil be investigated that the possibilities of forming greenways and  activities in possible greenways.]]></dcterms:abstract>
