Optimizing Energy Hub System Operation With Electrical And Thermal Demand Response Programs
No full textElectricity consumption is increasing rapidly and many countries are looking for ways to cope with the energy crisis. Morever, the world is facing the problem of global warming caused by emissions. Therefore, it is of great importance to operate power systems efficiently. Energy Hub (EH) represents a versatile energy system capable of providing efficient and optimal solutions for the operation of power systems across multiple carriers. This paper examines the optimization of an EH encompassing renewable energy systems (RES) like wind and photovoltaic, combined heat and power (CHP), transformer, absorption chiller, energy storage system (ESS) and furnace with aiming at minimizing the cost. Demand response is an energy sector strategy that entails modifying electricity consumption patterns in reaction to fluctuations in electricity supply or pricing. The objective of demand response programs (DRP) is to curtail or shift electricity consumption during periods of elevated electricity prices. Therefore, Electrical Demand Response Program (EDRP) for electrical demand and the Thermal Demand Response Program (TDRP) for heating demand are incorporated into the EH. The optimization problem is formulated as Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and solved with CPLEX solver in GAMS. The outcomes of various case studies are compared to ascertain the model's efficiency

XV. Yüzyıl Osmanlı Fıkıh Geleneğine Fâtih Devri Âlimi Molla Hüsrev’in “Ekûlü”sünden Bakmak
No full textXV. yüzyıla kendinden önceki Türk-İslam devletlerinden çok güçlü bir fıkıh geleneği tevarüs ederek ulaşan Osmanlı fıkıh ulemasının büyük ölçüde nakilcilik, şerhçilik çizgisinde olduğu, dolayısıyla güçlü bir gelenekselcilik takip ettikleri söylenebilir. Bu dönemde bahsedilen geleneğin dışına çıkma gayretinde olan âlimler de bulunmaktadır. Fâtih Sultan Mehmet’in büyük değer verdiği isimlerden olan Molla Hüsrev’in Gurerü’l-Ahkâm ve bunun şerhi olan Dürerü’l-Hükkâm fî Şerhi Gureri’l-Ahkâm adlı teliflerinde buna dair işaretler vardır. Bu yazıda, adı geçen âlimin yukarıda bahsedilen eserlerde kullandığı ve fıkıh ilmi bakımından özgünlüğü aradığını gösteren “ekûlü” iddiası üzerinden gelenekselcilik çizgisinin dışına çıkma gayreti değerlendirilecektir. Fıkıh ilminin gelişen ve değişen şartlara göre sürekli yenilenme ihtiyacı hisseden bir yapısının farkında olan Molla Hüsrev, toplumun artan ihtiyaçlarıyla birlikte değişen sosyal, ekonomik ve hatta siyasî şartlar çerçevesinde yeni görüşler ortaya koyarken gelenekselciliğe çok da bağlı olmadığını göstermektedir. Onun bu sahadaki katkısı dönemin kaynakları çerçevesinde tespit edilecek ve bu sayede daha sonraki yüzyıllarda Osmanlı ilim ve fıkıh anlayışındaki durağanlaşmanın sebeplerine ışık tutulmuş olacaktır
The Effects of Calcite-Producing Bacteria on the Engineering Properties of Alkali-Activated Composite Mortars
No full textThis study aims to explore the impact of calcium carbonate-producing bacteria on the engineering properties of alkali-activated composite mortars (AACMs). This study conducted an investigation on the mechanical properties, water absorption, rapid chloride ion permeability, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and mercury porosimetry of AACMs with varying cell concentrations of microbial Bacillus subtilis (BS) per milliliter (103, 105, and 107 cells/ml). Regarding the beneficial effects of improvement agents on concrete behavior, the effect of microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) in AACMs, which is an environmentally friendly solution for engineering properties, was investigated. AACMs with three different cell concentrations of Bacillus subtilis (103, 105, and 107 cells/ml) were investigated. Among these, the sample featuring 105 cells/ml exhibited the most favorable flexural and compressive strength. 7 and 28 days flexural strengths of 105 cells/ml added AACMs samples were 8.16 and 23.80%, while their compressive strengths were 17.70 and 22.65%, respectively. A decrease of approximately 12.27% was observed in water absorption in 28-day AACMs samples, and a decrease of 24.70% was observed in rapid chloride ion permeability. It was seen in the study that BS bacteria species caused a noticeable improvement in the performance of AACMs. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Shiraz University 2024.Kırıkkale Üniversitesi, KU, (2021/064); Kırıkkale Üniversitesi, K
HANEFÎ FIKHININ MÂTURÎDÎ TEFSİRİNE ETKİSİ
No full textMâturîdî is a scholar from Samarkand who studied and adopted Hanefî fıqh. The understanding he adopted in his commentary called Ta’wilat al-Qurân is Hanefism. In our study, we discussed some verse interpretations that Mâturîdî was influenced by Hanefi fıqh. We tried to show that Mâturîdî transferred fiqh issues to the period he lived in through his interpretation of verses. As a result of our work, we saw that Mâturîdî transferred his Hanefi fiqh knowledge to the period he lived in through his interpretation of verses, that is he shared the fıqh knowledge with the society he lived in based on the interpretation of verses. Additionally, our study is on example of how the culture the interpreter lives and the education he receieves affect his interpretation of the verses. As a method, we used a descriptive and comparative method in our study to read Ta’wilat Qur’an cultural anthropologically.Mâturîdî, Hanefi fıkıh eğitimi almış ve bu fıkhı benimsemiş Semerkantlı bir âlimdir. Onun Te’vîlâtu’l Kur’ân adlı tefsirinde benimsediği fıkhî anlayış Hanefîliktir. Çalışmamızda Mâturidî’nin (ö.333) Hanefi fıkhından etkilendiği bazı ayet yorumlarını ele aldık. Mâturîdi’nin fıkhi meseleleri ayeti yorumlayarak yaşadığı döneme aktardığını göstermeye çalıştık. Çalışmamız neticesinde Mâturîdî’nin ayet yorumları üzerinden Hanefi fıkıh bilgisini yaşadığı döneme aktardığı, yaşadığı toplum ile fıkhî bilgileri paylaştığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca çalışmamız müfessirin yaşadığı kültürün ve aldığı eğitimin ayet yorumunu etkilemesine örnek teşkil etmektedir. Yöntem olarak çalışmamızda Te’vîlâtu’l Kur’ân’ı kültürel antropolojik okumaya çalışarak; betimleyici ve karşılaştırmalı bir yöntem kullandık
A picture fuzzy CIMAS-ARTASI model for website performance analysis in human resource management
No full textThe central emphasis of human resource management resides in the precise delineation of job responsibilities, engaging in systematic inquiry to identify well-suited candidates, and discerningly electing the most qualified individual from the pool whose qualifications align with the job description. The selection of a well-suited candidate is dependent on the creation of an appropriate candidate pool. Digital platforms are preferred over traditional approaches to reach human resources. The main objective of this research is to identify the most suitable digital platform for posting job advertisements based on website performance. The multiple-attribute group decision-making approach is adopted in this research, considering both qualitative and quantitative criteria. A decision support system for website selection is developed, where expert importance levels are calculated based on picture fuzzy sets (PFS). The weight levels of criteria are determined using the introduced PFS-based criteria importance assessment (CIMAS) method. The ranking of websites is calculated using the proposed PFS-based alternative ranking technique based on adaptive standardized intervals (ARTASI) method. These methods are hybridized into the PFS-CIMAS-ARTASI model. Additionally, an algorithm for this hybrid model is developed. A case study is conducted to demonstrate the applicability of the PFS-CIMAS-ARTASI hybrid model for website performance calculations. Robustness tests based on various sensitivity analysis scenarios are performed. The research results indicate that PFS-CIMAS-ARTASI is both applicable and robust. Comprehensive managerial implications are presented and elaborated on

On Level Hypersurfaces of the Vertical Lift of a Submersion
No full textSuppose that (M, G) be a Riemannian manifold and f: M ? ? be a submersion. Then the vertical lift of f, fv: T M ? ? defined by fv = f ? ? is also a submersion. This interesting case, differently from [10], leads us to investigation of the level hypersurfaces of fv in tangent bundle T M. In this paper we obtained some differential geometric relations between level hypersurfaces of f and fv. In addition, we noticed that, unlike [13], a level hypersurface of fv is always lightlike, i.e., it doesn’t depend on any additional condition. © MatDer
