    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[INNOVATION AND RESEARCH &amp; DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE OF SMES IN TURKEY]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:Innovation, Research and Development, SMEs in Turkey, New Production Design.  ABSTRACT  Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Turkey similar to all countries, holds largest share of the economy. It should be considered together with all the functions affecting these enterprises, in order to ensure them successful in competitive markets. New technologies, new competitors, reduced profit margins, etc. reasons adversely affect revenues of the enterprises. In this case, enterprises are required to activate new factors to stay afloat. Today, one of the most important factor of competition is innovation and technological development. The number of SMEs has reached 255 thousand in Turkey and these enteprises have 75% of total employment, 65% of total production capacity . In addition to economic and cultural characteristics of these enterprises, their perception to innovation and R&amp;D(research and develoment) should be examined as well. Aim of this study to assess the perspectives of SMEs in Turkey to technological innovation and R&amp;D. The study examined enterprises that give importance to technological innovation. It is seen from the the studies cited in this study that the SMEs are aware of the importance of innovation to survive competitive market conditions. However, cited studies show that SMEs in Turkey are insufficient in terms of innovation culture and technology management.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[PROACTIVE CRISIS MANAGEMENT IN CASES OF EARTHQUAKE: A CASE STUDY OF BURDUR]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords: Earthquake, Proactive Crisis Management.  ABSTRACT  Earthquake is of the natural disasters that cause great destruction and loss of life in places where they occur. Turkey, a large deal of whose territory stretches on first-degree earthquake zone and on which a large number of earthquakes occurred in the past, is an earthquake country. May 17, 1999 Marmara Earthquake, which was felt in large part of the country in recent past, is the most painful experience. Unpredictable and unavoidable impacts of earthquakes urge all actors of crisis management to think strategically and make effective decisions. Crisis management is composed of a four-step process including pre-earthquake preparedness, first responders, recovery and reorganization. Reducing the loss of life and property depends on the pre-planning of an earthquake and making all necessary preparations. Considering all kinds of possibilities, planning and organization are carried out in this process which is described as proactive crisis management. Burdur, stretching on first-degree earthquake zone and having experienced great destructions in the past, is one of the provinces which must be constantly prepared to earthquakes. Different-scale-earthquakes in 1842, 1876, 1901, 1914, 1925, 1930, 1963, and 1971 are known to have occurred in the triangle of Burdur, Isparta and Dinar. The objective of this study is to examine the different aspects of earthquake preparation of general and local government agencies in Burdur. In this paper, it is aimed to scan the literature regarding the study and to conduct direct talks with senior administrators responsible for managing the earthquake crisis in the city.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[THE EFFECT OF USING DIFFERENT TYPES OF SURGE TANK ON THE COST OF HYDRO ENGINEERING PLANT – PUMPED STORAGE HE PLANT VRILO, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords: Surge tanks, pumped storage HE plant, Tom’s criteria, resistance coefficient, hydro engineering power, silencers, hydro power, Euler method.  ABSTRACT  For countries and regions enriched with water surfaces such as rivers and lakes, the cheapest source of power is water. Hydro power is called also “pure power” as it has minor pollution effects on the environment and health if compared with other types of power sources. Surge tanks have important role in the functionality of HE plant as they balance the pressure variation in cases of sudden rise or decrease. They are a massive construction that can receive the water in several cases. The cost of these tanks varies according to several factors such as dimensions, construction and maintaining works and shape. This paper aims to compare the cost of several shapes and types of surge tank in the case of Pumped storage HE plant Vrilo by fixing the needed outcomes such as the maximum and minimum level of water needed for producing the expected energy, the location of tank and the materials used for it. This paper will also give some advices about choosing the type, shape and dimension for surge tanks while designing them.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:MQL machining, Oil-on-water droplet, aluminium bronze, cutting forces, surface roughness.  ABSTRACT  Flood and through-tool delivering of cutting fluids have been widely used for the machining operations. The use of a large amount of cutting fluid can impact the environment and increase manufacturing costs, and possibly lead to ground contamination, excess energy consumption, the need for wet chip disposal and potential health and safety issues. Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) machining involves the application of a minute amount of oil-based lubricant to the machining process in an attempt to replace the conventional flood coolant system. This paper presents a classification of MQL methods, discussing their advantages and drawback. Also, the results of measurements of cutting forces and surface roughness when machining one type of aluminum bronze using MQL, are presented. As a medium for cooling and lubricating a system of oil-on-water was used. The results show that the cutting force of less than 16%, and also parameters of surface roughness, compared to machining without the use of coolant and lubricants.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are very efficient electro- chemical energy-conversion systems because of their high energy conversion efficiency, high power density, clean and environmentally friendly output when hydrogen is used as fuel, and flexibility in using various fuels. Bi2O3-based materials have been considered as potential materials for solid oxide fuel cell electrolyte due to their high oxygen ionic conductivity. They have also been shown to be the most promising electrolytes for intermediate operating temperatures (600–800 0C) of SOFCs since they have higher oxygen ion conductivity compared with other materials with similar properties. Many researchers have focused on the properties of oxide doped Bi2O3-based electrolytes operating at intermediate temperatures and most of them have attempted to overcome the in stability problems of the materials to obtain better performance in technological applications]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords: Dental implants, sandblasting, nanostructured TiO2, surface morphology.  ABSTRACT  Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been used for dental implants due to their excellent biological compatibility, superior mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance. The nanometer-sized roughness and the chemistry have a key role in the interactions of surfaces with proteins and cells. In this study, commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) discs were treated by sandblasting and then anodizing. The formation of titanium oxide (TiO2) nanoporous on sandblasted titanium substrates was investigated in the electrolytes containing fluoride by electrochemical method. Anodizing was carried out at the constant cell potential ranging from 20 to 60 V at the temperature of 25◦C. The nanostructured TiO2 coatings was characterized using, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Sandblasting/anodizing significantly improved the hydrophilicity of Ti.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Keywords:smart grid; regulatory framework; electricity market; distribution activity.  ABSTRACT  In terms of power sector restructuring and electricity market opening there have been significant changes in the functioning of activities at the level of Public Enterprise Elektroprivreda BiH d.d - Sarajevo (EPBiH). Distribution activity in an open electricity market is not a market activity, but the regulated activity, and although does not participate directly in the electricity market, its action must allow unhindered development and functioning of the market in which suppliers competes. The introduction of the smart grid concept in electricity distribution activity is a particularly challenging area of research due to the actuality and importance. The paper presents the elements of the business framework of EPBiH in terms of application of modern technologies in the area of smart grid and the changes that inevitably occur during transition process of energy sector in general.]]></dcterms:abstract>
