ORGANIZATION OF SELLING PRODUCTS IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES: CASE OF TURKUAZ GROUP OF COMPANIES
No full textThe term organization of selling products acquires a major importance in success of business environment. World has withessed huge economic development in last century. Industrial revolution of two centuries back has resulted into all round economic growth and prosperity across the nations. So, the world's successful business environment is the main driver of stable workplaces and high GDP for the economy. But under successful sales organization there are so many details, like satisfaction of customers, training and educating or sales reps, researching of marketplaces, designing of sales territory and sales people. All these details are engine for successful business environment. In this research author tried to find the efficient organization of selling products in Kazakhstan and Central Asian countries. So, author has found that in Kazakhstan there are so many challenges in organization of selling products especially in logistics as well as privileges in legal system of the Republic of Kazakhstan
Effects of prototype air deflector and spray unit on pesticide canopy distribution uniformity and drift in vineyards
No full textA prototype air deflector and spraying unit hanged on conventional air-assisted orchard sprayer was used to make applications to the outside row of a trellis vineyard. Fluorescent tracer dye was applied by using hollow cone nozzles with 1.2 mm diameter orifice. Experiments were conducted at three levels of spraying pressure, which were 6, 12 and 18 bar, and three levels of air flow rates, which were 24,830, 30,473 and 36,117 m(3) h(-1). During the experiments, canopy distribution uniformity, coverage, downwind sedimentation and airborne drift were measured from 16 locations by using water- sensitive papers and filter papers. Treatment with air deflector and spraying unit at 6 bar pressure and 30,473 m(3) h(-1) air flow rate produced the most uniform canopy distribution (CV = 6.24%). Although treatment with 18 bar provided the highest average deposit on the canopy samples, the difference between these two treatments was not significant. Generally, increasing of pressure and air flow rate increased the coverage on the canopy, but the differences among all treatments were found not significant statistically. One of the lowest sedimentation on ground was measured at the treatment with 6 bar pressure and 30,473 m(3) h(-1) air flow rate. The conventional air-assisted sprayer produced worse deposits, coverage and canopy distribution uniformity than the unit. Additionally, the conventional air-assisted sprayer produced higher ground sedimentation and airborne drift than the treatment with air deflector and spraying unit at 6 bar pressure and 30,473 m(3) h(-1) air flow rate conditions. Therefore, instead of conventional air-assisted sprayer, use of air deflector and spraying unit is suggested to achieve better application results
Comparing of Ridge Planting Performance of Precision Planters Equipped with Shoe and Disc Coulters
No full textThe objective of this study was to determine ridge planting performance of the precision seeders equipped with shoe and disc type coulters and to reveal differences between seeders. To meet this target both laboratory and field experiments were conducted. Seed spacing distribution uniformity of the machines were determined using sticky belt tests at the laboratory. The values of plant spacing distribution uniformity, ratio of plant emergence, seeding depth uniformity, negative driven wheel slips of the seeders and driven wheel slips of the tractors were determined by the tests carried out on field conditions. Based on the experimental results, it was determined that, all seeders performances in terms of seed spacing distribution uniformity were found in "good" quality under laboratory conditions, while seeding quality in ridge planting on the field was determined lower than laboratory conditions for all seeders. But seeders equipped with disc type coulters were determined more effective than seeders equipped with shoe type coulters in high quality corn seeding under field conditions. It was found that seeders equipped with disc type coulters provided both higher plant emergences and more uniform seed depths in firm terms. The values of negative driven wheel slips of the seeders were determined as 0.93-5.34% and 9.14-10.24% for shoe type and disc type seeders, respectively. The values of driven wheel slips of the tractors were ranged from 1.38% to 3.83% and from 5.39% to 9.50% for shoe type and disc type seeders, respectively. Based on the all findings it was determined that seeders equipped with disc type coulters should be used in ridge planting

Improved mobility of the copper phthalocyanine thin-film transistor
No full textWOS: 000280381600025Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) was fabricated by thermal evaporation deposition on p-SiO2 dielectric layer. Organic thin-film transistors used in large display areas need the enhancement of transistor performances by increasing the I-on/I-off ratio and the mobility. The output and transfer characteristics of CuPc-OTFF having source/drain interdigitated-finger geometry were investigated. The mobility, I-on/I-off ratio and inverse sub-threshold slope for the CuPc-OTFT were found to be 5.32 x 10(-3) cm(2) V-1 s(-1), 1.94 x 10(4) and 2.5 V/decade, respectively. The interface state density of the transistor was found to be 3.73 x 10(11) eV(-1) cm(-2) using the conductance-frequency method. The CuPc film indicated a homogeneous surface having 3.878 nm small roughness values as observed by atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements. The obtained results indicate that we have improved a CuPc-OTFT transistor with high mobility without being of any substrate treatmentFeyzi AKKAYA Scientific Activates Supporting Fund (FABED); National Boron Research Institute (BOREN) [BOREN-2009.C0226]; Anadolu University Commission of Scientific Research [204, 061039]This work was supported by Feyzi AKKAYA Scientific Activates Supporting Fund (FABED).

Adaptations of Hamlet in Different Cultural Contexts: Globalisation, Postmodernism, and Altermodernism
No full textAlthough there has traditionally been a resistance to the study of adaptations, adaptation studies as a subsection of 'intertextuality‘ currently has a significant place in academic debates. Hamlet is "the Mona Lisa of literature" (T.S. Eliot), and has been the subject of constant scrutiny, mythologizing and adaptation. Hamlet has been adapted and appropriated into and by various cultural contexts. Even confining our attention to the same medium as Shakespeare‘s text, there exists an array of theatrical adaptations in languages and cultures as diverse as Persian, Korean, Arabic, German, Russian, and Turkish. Borrowing Ludwig Wittgenstein‘s metaphor of 'family resemblance,‘ I argue the usefulness of his idea, enabling us to examine not simply a small number of common properties among adaptations of Hamlet, but rather to explore the 'complicated network of similarities overlapping and criss-crossing‘ (Philosophical Investigations, §66). I further propose subdividing the 'global family‘ of Hamlets from around the world that participate in this/these web-like resemblances into 'local families‘ of adapted Hamlets, to enable better intercultural and cross-cultural studies.
In this thesis I analyse seven theatrical adaptations of Hamlet in Turkish, Russian, Arabic and Persian cultural contexts, from the perspectives of postmodernism, globalisation and altermodernism. I also scrutinise the Persian family of Hamlet in the light of 'intertextuality‘. Given that each adaptation per se brings together 'self‘ and 'other‘ at the same time, I go on to coin two new terms: homointertextuality and heterointertextuality, in order to explore fully the various connections of the adaptations of Hamlet in Iran with the 'cultural self‘ (Persian culture) and the 'cultural other‘ (Anglophone culture)
Vascular function and arginine and dimethylarginines in gentamicin-induced renal failure: A possible effect of heme oxygenase-1 inducer hemin
No full textIncreased oxidative stress and disturbance in nitric oxide bioavailability lead to endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular complication in renal disease. Gentamicin (GM), a commonly used antibiotic exhibits a toxic effect on renal proximal tubules. Prevention of its nephrotoxicity is important. Therefore, we investigated whether heme oxygenase (HO)-1 induction influenced kidney and vascular function in GM-administered rats. GM (100 mg/kg/day; ip) was given to rats alone or together with hemin (20 mg/kg/alternate days; ip.) for 14 days. Plasma and kidney L-arginine, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) as well as kidney 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) levels and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were measured. Histopathologic examinations of kidney and relaxation and contraction responses of aorta were also examined. GM increased serum SDMA, urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine levels and caused histopathologic alterations in kidney. GM elevated HO-1 protein and mRNA expressions, 4-HNE level, MPO activity and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities and L-arginine levels in kidney. Decreased relaxation and contraction were detected in the aorta. Hemin restored renal oxidative stress and inflammatory changes together with vascular dysfunction, but did not affect SDMA, BUN, and creatinine levels. It is concluded that HO-1 induction may be effective in improving renal oxidative stress, inflammation and vascular dysfunction mediated by GM.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
