Ulan BRİMKULOV | Kasım BARIKTABASOV

Many states of the world are developing e-government to raise operating efficiency, better service delivery to citizens, and reduce corruption. But successful development of e-government depends on many factors, such as the level of economic development, the development level of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure, the ICT literacy of citizens, legal framework, political leadership etc. This chapter attempts to confirm this statement using the example of the Central Asian states. The chapter also describes best practices, main challenges and obstacles, and lesson ...Daha fazlası

Artificial Neural Network Model for Evaluating Parameters of Reflection-Asymmetric Samples From Reference-Plane-Invariant Measurements

Mehmet ERTUĞRUL

A technique based on artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed to extract the electromagnetic properties of reflection-asymmetric samples from reference-plane-invariant (RPI) scattering parameter measurements. It first determines reference plane transformation distances and then extracts the material properties. The number of neurons in the hidden layer of the ANN model was evaluated subject to accuracy and time constraints. We examined the conformity of the dataset of the ANN model and the required time for the training process by considering different numbers of neurons in the selected hid ...Daha fazlası

Synthesis, characterization and coating properties of carboxymethyl cellulose from sock production wastes

Nurzat ŞAYKİYEVA | Kubat KEMELOV | Mirlan MOLDOBAYEV | Canıl İSKAKOVA | Mustafa DOLAZ

This study aims to evaluate and reuse defective products and cotton wastes resulting from factories producing socks in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in order to solve the issues related to their disposal. For this purpose, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was obtained after isolating the cellulose from these wastes by treating them with sulfuric acid solutions. Then, under constant NaOH and monochloroacetic acid (MCA), CMC with the highest DS value of (0.65) was synthesized at 65 degrees C for 2 hours. When the reaction time was increased (3, 4 and 5 hours) at the same temperature, the DS value decreas ...Daha fazlası

Concentration Distribution of Molecules and Other Species in the Model System Fe-NaCl-Na2S-H2SO4-H2O at Various Temperatures of the Electrocoagulation Process

Zarlık MAYMEKOV | Canarbek İZAKOV | Nurzat ŞAYKİYEVA | Mustafa DOLAZ | Mehmet KOBYA

Under practical conditions, one of the possible solutions to the problem of treatment of hydrogen-sulfide-containing industrial wastewater is the electrochemical oxidation of sulfides. In this work, the model system Fe-NaCl-Na2S-H2SO4-H2O is considered, an experimental setup is constructed, and the electrocoagulation process is studied in a wide (288-308 K) range of temperatures of an aqueous solution of hydrogen sulfide. The optimal ratios between the initial components in the system are determined. The experimental and calculated pH of the solution are found. The system is thermodynamically ...Daha fazlası

This research study depends upon psychological perspective research based on the primary data analysis to determine the research study develop different questions related to information technology and motivation and the sport's performance. These questions fulfill by different participants who know information technology and motivation. Information technology is the main independent variable, motivation is the mediator variable, and the performance ...Daha fazlası

Optimization by Using the Taguchi Method of Boric Acid Production by Dissolving Flash Calcined Colemanite in Water Saturated with SO2

Ali Osman SOLAK

Turkey has the largest boron reserves in the world with a rate of approximately 72. The most common commercial boron reserves in Turkey are colemanite, tincal, and ulexite. Boric acid, which is the most commonly used boron compound in Turkey, is obtained from the dissolution of colemanite with sulfuric acid. In the present study, an aqueous medium saturated with sulfur dioxide instead of sulfuric acid was used in order to obtain boric acid. Colemanite ore was flash calcined at various temperatures and optimum dissolution conditions of the ore obtained in water saturated with SO2 were examined ...Daha fazlası

A Multi-Objective Mathematical Programming Model for Transit Network Design and Frequency Setting Problem

İbrahim AKGÜN

In this study, we propose a novel multi-objective nonlinear mixed-integer mathematical programming model for the transit network design and frequency setting problem that aims at designing the routes and determining the frequencies of the routes to satisfy passenger demand in a transit network. The proposed model incorporates the features of real-life transit network systems and reflects the views of both passengers and the transit agency by considering the in-vehicle travel time, transfers, waiting times at the boarding and transfer stops, overcrowding and under-utilization of vehicles, and v ...Daha fazlası

Renewable-based treatment solution of Reactive Blue 21 dye on fly ash as low-cost and sustainable adsorbent

Mehmet KOBYA

This study investigated the removal of Reactive Blue 21 (RB 21) dye from aqueous solutions by adsorption, evaluating the waste fly ash (FA). The effects of the parameters, such as initial dye concentration (100–750 mg/L), initial pH (2.0–8.0), adsorbent dose (1.0–4.0 g/L), and temperature (298–323 K) on the adsorption process were investigated. The optimum initial pH value was 2.0 for the highest RB21 dye removal (75.2 mg/g).
