The paper aims is to highlight the unavoidable changes in industrial society together with the basic elements of this transformation as well as to take the attention of the readers on the healthiest change process. Some actions which are considered to be very …

Innovations, which are one of the most important identifiers of pass to information society, have caused socio-economic transformations on global level. Especially labour factor, which companies use in production, have been affected by innovations. On the grou…

Use of superplasticing chemical admixtures in concrete production is widespread all over the world and has become almost inevitable. Super-plasticizers (SPA), extend the setting time of concrete by adsorbing onto cement particles and provide concrete to preser…

In this study, research on the determination of the technological level in the greenhouse mechanization in Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey has been carried out. The technological equipment and operating parameters that should be in a modern greenhouse h…

This paper describes a laboratory application for the forecasting the dielectric properties, using an artificial neural network embedded in a microprocessor. The dielectric permittivity and loss factor of the insulation material were determined as a function o…

In this article, the influence of the use of three different bricks on the building heat performance is compared for use on wall surfaces as a building construction element. At the beginning of the analysis, the thermal analysis of the building was carried out…

This study was carried out in the pure oriental beech forests of Yenice-Kızılkay in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey, where the changes in the number of side roots and the changes in the height and diameter of the beech trees were examined in three diffe…

In the present study, the effects of cutting parameters on surface roughness were investigated in order to determine the optimum machining conditions for the hot work tool steel (155 HB), which is an important part of the mold industry. For this purpose, the m…

Depending on the growing industry and population, energy needs are increasing day by day. In parallel, our external dependency on energy also increases. This issue made it necessary to use of renewable energy sources as much as possible. As an extension of eff…

Today, the universal development tool of the globalization in the world is ICT. Therefore, the capacity of using advanced tools of ICT in developed countries is increasing rapidly. Intelligent technological tools have become a part of our lives. Intelligent sy…

Researchers attention on the optimization methods to solve several applications increases recently by the advances in the technological field. The Artificial Bee Colony algorithm that has been quite popular during the recent years is firstly used in this study…

Aluminum based metal matrix composites are frequently used in automotive, aircraft, space, automotive, agricultural and building industries due to their easy shaping, good heat and electrical conductivity, low density, high strength and toughness. In these com…

Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) method is prone to automation. In this way, by integrating the robot and automation systems have been easily developed. Thanks to the method, the effective overlapping joints can be obtained a short processing time. In the stu…

For a successful thermal performance, the right choice and design of the thermal management materials used in LED die-moulding, cooler and soldered parts is a critical engineering problem. Because they are affected by heat emitted from the pn junction in the L…

Refrigeration and air-conditioning systems consume about 15% of global electricity, and 46% of energy used in household and commercial buildings belongs to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. Vapor-compression technologies dominate the HV…

This study presents the investigation of thorium utilization in an ADS with Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) target. To effectively burn thorium, the ThO2 fuel rods cylindrically prepared, and cladded with SiC, are mixed with 233UO2 at volumetric ratio of 1%. These…

The use of GPUs for general purpose applications is not a recent approach, but it was quickly becoming widespread with NVIDIA's CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) architecture based on C programming language in 2007. Algorithms suitable for parallel op…

In the present study, energy and exergy analyses of a solar powered absorption refrigeration system are corried out by terms of the first and second laws of thermodynamics. NH3-H2O fluid couple is used in the system. The analyses are performed with the help of…

The aim of this study is to determine instantaneous irradiance and annual percentile sunlit time on the available rooftop floor area of Technical and Social Science Vocational School at Usak University by simulation using open source software. The building of …
