https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2055
<p>Sunulan çalışmada doğalgaz yakıtlı buji ateşlemeli motorlarda strok/çap (s/ç) oranının etkileri <br>kullanılabilirlik (ekserji) analiziyle nümerik olarak incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla iki bölgeli yanma modeline <br>sahip bir sanki boyutlu buji ateşlemeli motor çevrimi modeli kullanılmıştır. Çevrim modelinde yanma <br>işlemi türbülanslı alev yayılması yaklaşımıyla, emme ve egzoz işlemleri ise basit ampirik bağıntılar <br>kullanılarak modellenmiştir. Ekserji analizini gerçekleştirmek için çevrim modeline Termodinamiğin <br>İkinci Kanunu ile ilgili yaklaşımlar uygulanmıştır. Ekserji analizinde ısı, iş ve egzozla transfer edilen <br>ekserjiler, tersinmezlikler, yakıt kimyasal ekserjisi, termomekanik ekserji ve toplam ekserji gibi ekserjitik <br>terimler seçilen strok/çap oranları için hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca, 1. ve 2. Kanun verimleri ile indike özgül <br>yakıt tüketimi de hesaplanmıştır. Böylece, doğalgaz yakıtlı buji ateşlemeli motorlarda strok/çap oranının <br>ekserjitik terimler, 1. ve 2. Kanun verimleri ve indike özgül yakıt tüketimi üzerindeki etkileri <br>belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları, doğalgaz yakıtlı buji ateşlemeli motorlarda strok/çap oranının <br>artırılmasının ısı kayıpları ve tersinmezlik değerlerini azalttığını, faydalı çevrim işi ile 1. ve 2. kanun <br>verimlerini artırdığını ve indike özgül yakıt tüketimini düşürdüğünü göstermiştir. İncelenen doğalgaz <br>yakıtlı buji ateşlemeli motorlarda strok/çap oranının 0,7 değerinden 1,3 değerine çıkarılması ısı <br>kayıplarının %6,69, tersinmezliklerin %1,58 oranlarında azalmasını, işle transfer edilen ekserjinin ise <br>%3,43 artmasını sağlamıştır. Diğer taraftan, strok/çap oranının 0,7 değerinden 1,3 değerine çıkarılması ile <br>1. ve 2. Kanun verimleri sırasıyla %3,11 ve %3,38 oranlarında artmış ve indike özgül yakıt tüketimi <br>%3,25 oranında azalmıştır.</p>İsmet Sezer

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2056
<p>Depremler, özellikle dağlık bölgelerde, ulaşım altyapısına ciddi zararlar verebilen doğal felaketler <br>arasındadır. Bu tür afetlerin etkisini azaltmanın yolları araştırılırken, yeraltı boşlukları ve tünellerin <br>depremlerden daha az etkilendiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma, Kahramanmaraş ilinde meydana gelen iki <br>büyük deprem sonrası yeraltı boşluklarına ve tünel yapılarına odaklanmaktadır. <br>Depremler, yeraltındaki hareketlerle karakterizedir ve bu nedenle yeraltı yapıları, yer üstü yapılarına göre <br>daha dirençli olabilir. Araştırma, bu nedenle yeraltı tünellerin önemini ve dayanıklılıklarını ele almaktadır. <br>Özellikle ulaşım altyapısının sağlanmasında tüneller yüzyıllardır önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. <br>Kahramanmaraş ilindeki iki büyük deprem sonrası, bu tünellerde meydana gelen çökmeler incelenmiş ve <br>deprem sonrası ulaşımın sürdürülebilirliği için öneriler sunulmuştur. Öneriler arasında püskürtme betonun <br>ve beton liflerinin kullanımı gibi teknik ayrıntılar bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca, tünellerin dayanıklılığı ve <br>güçlendirilmesi, inşaat aşamasındaki jeolojik yapı ve yerel zemin koşullarıyla yakından ilişkilidir. <br>Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma, deprem sonrası ulaşımın hayati bir önem taşıdığı durumlarda, yeraltı <br>boşluklarının ve tünellerin güçlendirilmesi için önemli rehberlik sunmaktadır. Bu tür güçlendirmeler, <br>güvenli ve kesintisiz ulaşımın sağlanmasına katkı sağlayabilir ve benzer coğrafyalardaki diğer bölgeler için <br>de bir model oluşturabilir. Bu araştırma, yeraltı yapıların ve tünellerin depremlere karşı dayanıklılığını <br>artırma konusundaki önemli bir adımdır.</p>Gökhan KülekçiAlaaddin Vural

2024-10-132024-10-137101217An approach to solving real-life problems using normal distribution. Approximation of results using the Lagrange-Euler method
https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2057
<p>We deal with the normal distribution as an overview of real-life problems. Our paper focuses on <br>analyzing the normal distribution and its special cases by solving real-life problems and examining them <br>through detailed calculations and graphs. Several research papers have reported that the normal distribution <br>of a random variable has an enormous contribution in analyzing and comparing the data with each other, <br>making the process easier for other methods in real-life applications. Using numerical methods, we get the <br>approximations and the error during the different cases. <br>In this research paper, we will discuss how the Euler equation will be used to solve the same problem in a <br>more efficient way. The Euler method is used during the approximation process and with some widely <br>studied models, including the standard formulas for each method, simulations, and graphs.</p>Shkelqim HajrullaTaylan DemirVasil LinoLoubna Ali

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2058
<p>This study aims to experimentally investigate the slump, compressive strengths (Cs) at 7 and <br>28-day of fifteen HPC combinations made from already-existing local materials in Algeria. After that, <br>establish statistical models based on the mix design modeling technique to examine the impact of <br>employing dune sand powder (DSP), as a supplementary cementitious material, both in binary and ternary <br>combinations with cement (PC) and ground blast-furnace slag (GBFS) on the HPCs characteristics. A four<br>level, three-parameter mixture design was implemented to develop models for the statistical variance of the <br>recorded experimental data and the JMP7 statistical program was employed to perform this analysis. For <br>all responses, models exhibit strong correlation coefficients (R2 ≥ 0.83). Replacing cement with GBFS <br>increases the slump. However, slump only remains good when the combinations have a low proportion of <br>DSP. At 7-day, the improvement in Cs can be attributed to the increasing proportion of DSP. In contrast, <br>results suggest the increasing percentage of GBFS in all systems causes a slight decrease of Cs. At 28-day, <br>it is evident that the use of GBFS alone resulted in a slight decrease in Cs, but when combined with PC, <br>GBFS increased Cs. In contrast, Cs is better when a low percentage of DSP is used. Optimal composition <br>(HPC14) with 5%GBFS offers the best compromise between the three studied characteristics.</p>Mahmoud BenkhelilKarima ArroudjSalim GuettalaTaha-Hocine Douara

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2059
<p>This paper presents a 3-dimensional, Ultra-wide band MIMO array antenna for high gain <br>(M2M) communication environments. This antenna supports Ultra-Wide band (3.2GHz<br>10.5GHz) frequencies. The radiating patch is made from 1.6mm thick FR-4 substrate. To increase the <br>isolation between radiating elements, parasitic structures are used. The parasitic structures are placed <br>alongside feedline as well as radiating elements. A Defective ground plane is implemented to increase <br>bandwidth and radiation coefficient of array. A Partial Reflecting Surface (PRS) layer, also fabricated on <br>a similar FR-4 substrate is used above the antenna layer to improve the antenna's gain and bandwidth. <br>More crucially, the suggested PRS antenna improves gain by 3dB average over entire ultra-wide band. <br>Based on simulation and measurement results, this configuration appears to be a viable contender for <br>Machine-to-Machine(M2M) communication.</p>Ali AhmadRashid SaleemMuhammad Farhan Shafique

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2062
<p>In the city of Islamabad, a thorough examination into one-dimensional equivalent linear <br>ground response was methodically performed. This thorough investigation was carried out with special <br>attention to the city's distinctive geological features using the DEEPSOIL software in a methodical <br>manner. Notably, the analysis avoided the influence of the groundwater table in Favor of the more general <br>seismic factors that control ground response dynamics. Subsoil data for input were acquired from a <br>combination of laboratory and field research and were chosen based on site-specific conditions. The <br>investigations were carried out at a bedrock site 13 meters below ground level. Following evaluations <br>with the USCS, the soil at the location was classified as silty clay to lean clay. This classification is the <br>result of extensive field and laboratory research. In the study, a set of eight unique accelerograms were <br>carefully chosen and used at the bedrock layer, perfectly coinciding with the seismic characteristics <br>unique to the target geographic location. Surprisingly the study of surface response spectra revealed a <br>significant amplification phenomenon that was present across all seven possible accelerograms and <br>deviated just slightly from the fundamental period inherent to the site. The study's conclusions indicated <br>that the computed spectral acceleration values, which notably fell within the range of 0.16g to 0.24g, <br>surpassed the requirements established by the Pakistan Building Code.</p>Iqbal KhanHammad RazaShahrukh Abbas

2024-10-132024-10-1371097103Synthesis of Cobalt-Free, Low-Cost Layered LiNi0.6Mn0.2Fe0.2O2 (NMF622) Cathode Electrodes for Next Generation Lithium-Ion Batteries
https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2068
<p>In this research, we synthesized LiNi0.6Mn0.2Fe0.2O2 (NMF622) cathodes by substituting iron for <br>cobalt in the cathode electrodes, which are typically associated with the chemistry of LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 <br>(NMC622) cathode material used in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The production of NMF622 nanoparticles <br>was achieved using the sol-gel method, incorporating metal salts as key components for structure formation. <br>We meticulously examined the structure of NMF622 nanoparticles and electrodes through X-ray diffraction <br>(XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), revealing the absence of impurities in <br>the NMF622 nanopowders. Our FESEM analysis further determined particle sizes ranging from 30 to 110 <br>nm. To evaluate the performance of NMF622 cathodes, we conducted galvanostatic charge and discharge <br>tests at a rate of 1C within the potential range of 2.0 to 4.6 volts. Notably, the NMF622 cathodes exhibited <br>various capacities at different rates, including 211.86, 206.07, 198.68, 191.56, 167.16, 154.99, 135.62, <br>115.96, 188.36, 195.36, 202.46, and 209.3 mAh/g at different C-rates. Electrochemical impedance tests <br>indicated that all resistance values increased with the number of cycles. This study represents a significant <br>development and evaluation of NMF cathodes, which are proposed as an alternative to NMC chemistry. As <br>a result, it led to a substantial 60% reduction in cell manufacturing costs compared to NMC chemistry. <br>Furthermore, the environmentally conscious choice of using iron instead of cobalt, along with the use of <br>water-soluble binders, contributed to a reduction in toxicity.</p>Sümeyye KILIÇBüşra OĞUZMehmet Oğuz GÜLER

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2069
<p>Concrete structures experience physical and chemical changes when they interact with the <br>natural environment under service load conditions which results in cracking. Cracking is a critical <br>problem which lowers the long-term service life, strength, as well as the durability of the concrete <br>structures. Furthermore, if preventive measures are not taken on time, then these cracks will lead to the <br>failure of structures. Fibers in different proportions when added into the concrete showed satisfactory <br>performance in enhancing its mechanical properties. Both carbon and steel fibers are introduced in <br>concrete and behaviors of both the Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) and Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is <br>evaluated based on the mechanical testing. Numerious mechanical characteristics including compressive, <br>tensile, and flexural or modulus of rupture (MOR) strength of both steel and carbon fiber reinforced <br>concrete have been compared with PCC. When slump values of PCC and FRC are compared, it is found <br>that the slump of steel and carbon fiber reinforced concrete is reduced due to water thin film in <br>comparison to that of PCC. In the study, stress strain behaviors of PCC and FRC is also compared. The <br>optimum content of carbon as well as steel fiber of 0.3% and 5% by weight of cement is added which <br>after 28 days moist curing is subjected to mechanical testing. The improvement observed in mechanical <br>properties of FRC indicated that fiber content is effective in strength as well as durability regarding the <br>prevention of cracks in the concrete.</p>Shahrukh AbbasAhmer IqbalIqbal KhanUmar Waqas

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2070
<p>A case study was conducted to compare renewable energy technologies with natural gas <br>generators in terms of emissions and costs. The load that was used in the hybrid renewable energy system <br>and the engine system running on natural gas was the same value of 62,500 kW. In the case of using solar <br>panels as the only source of energy, the initial cost was the highest. In the case of using the wind turbine as <br>the only source of energy in the system, the initial cost was lower than the system that works on solar <br>panels, but it was also high. The case in which the system was operated using the wind turbine and solar <br>panels as an energy source was the best case for the system, the initial cost was the lowest compared to <br>wind and solar with no emissions produced. In the case of natural gas generators, the cost was low compared <br>to the hybrid power system, and the operating cost was also low, but the harmful emissions were high. The <br>findings show that integrating renewables into the grid presents the most beneficial alternative for <br>decreasing emissions and minimizing overall costs, compared to the scenario where renewable energy <br>sources are used separately.</p>Abdullah HarisNezihe Yıldıran

<p>In this research study, we investigate the design of a piezoelectric tree-shaped wind power <br>system. If there is a wind strong enough to bend the piezoelectric materials used in the energy conversion <br>process, the suggested system will produce voltage. In this work, two distinct types of piezoelectric <br>materials were utilised to generate electricity using wind-derived energy. and types of piezoelectric <br>materials were used - PZT-5H, and BaTiO3. The voltage produced under different wind speeds(1–30ms−1 <br>)with various load resistors were tested to determine the maximum power output. A maximum Voltage of <br>10.6 v was produced when using an optimal load of 10 kohm of PZT-5A at airflow speed of 30 m s−1 .The <br>findings of this study provide valuable insights into the design and optimization of piezoelectric-based wind <br>energy harvesting systems. The optimized dimensions and material choices established in this study can <br>serve as a useful guideline for the development of piezoelectric-based wind energy harvesting systems in <br>various applications like Structural, health, Environmental, Military and defense monitoring.</p>Muhammad Danyal Faizi JatoiRiffat Asim PashaHassan ElahiMuhammad Abdullah Sheeraz

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2073
<p>Neovaginal procedures are surgical or non-surgical methods used to eliminate enlargement and <br>sagging of the vagina caused by childbirth, menopause or other factors. These practices can help improve <br>quality of life, such as sexual function, hygiene, and self-confidence. Nonsurgical neovaginal procedures <br>are designed to strengthen the muscles and tissue of the vagina. It can be done in a variety of ways, such <br>as laser treatment, radiofrequency therapy, or non-surgical vaginal tightening surgery. Surgical <br>neovaginal procedures are performed to remove or reduce enlarged or sagging parts of the vagina. There <br>are various types such as vaginoplasty, labiaplasty and hymenoplasty. After neovaginal procedures, some <br>care measures can be taken to support the healing of the vagina.

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2075
<p>During the year 2022, approximately 1165 road accidents occurred in Albania where the <br>number of persons involved in accidents was 1599, while the number of accidents due to the behavior of <br>pedestrians was 167. Referring to the statistics, the increase number of accidents due to the behavior of <br>pedestrian over the year is noticed. In this paper we treat the problem of determining the speed of <br>movement of an accident situation when a vehicle and a pedestrian participate in a crash. As a result of <br>this accident the pedestrian involved remained dead. For determination of speed we focus on the resulting <br>of mathematical simulation and PC Crash software. The aim of this work also is to present a vehicle<br>pedestrian situation where the accident could not be avoided even with the allowed speed of vehicle.</p>Raimonda DervishiErjola Cenaj

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2076
<p>Decentralized Finance is a segment of finance that enables financial transactions by the <br>execution of smart contacts, without the intermediation of financial institutions and central authorities. It <br>uses innovative technology to ensure the necessary transparency and autonomy of all the participants and <br>potential investors. Even though DeFi is in its early stages, based on the increasing market size and high <br>return yield of the assets, it is expected to contribute to a more innovative financial economy and the <br>development of traditional finance as well. <br>Through theoretical analysis of the existing literature and information, this study investigates the <br>importance of Decentralized Finance, its advantages, and disadvantages, the associated risks that arise from <br>decentralization, and the lack of central authorities. Decentralized Finance has several advantages, <br>including interoperability, borderless, openness, transparency, innovation, decentralization, efficiency, and <br>so forth. Because of its nature, DeFi has several disadvantages and risks as well, such as high volatility, <br>stablecoin run, unstoppability, irreversibility, lack of transparency, pseudonymity, and the risk of money <br>laundering. <br>As the growth of DeFi is mainly related to innovative and information technology, it is expected that its <br>fast-growing trend will continue in the future as well. Considering the limited research in Decentralized <br>Finance, this study contributes to enriching the related literature.</p>Albina Hysaj

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2081
<p>In the research described in this paper, we used computer simulations to analyze and compare <br>different types of game strategies in the popular board game Don't Get Angry. Following a brief <br>introduction, we summarized a few previous research papers examining similar board games' game <br>strategies. Next, after a review of the Don't Get Angry game's official rules, we outlined four strategies that <br>can be applied to increase the likelihood of winning. We simulated 50,000 games in which all four players <br>made their moves randomly and 50,000 games where each used a different strategy. We tracked how <br>frequently each player finished first, second, third, or last during the simulations. Furthermore, we recorded <br>how many rounds were needed to complete the game for each player, how many times the players’ pawns <br>were kicked out and returned to their houses by other players, and the number of players’ remaining steps <br>during every gameplay. From the analysis of the recorded data, we could conclude that significant <br>differences exist in the chances of winning the game for the examined strategies when all players use <br>different strategies. The results improve the specific domain knowledge for the Don't Get Angry board <br>game. It may help create more vigorous computer opponents and encourage further study to create a tool <br>for evaluating students' strategic thinking while playing.</p>Ladislav Végh Štefan Gubo

2024-10-132024-10-13710195198DAMAGES CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKES TO MINES AND UNDERGROUND SPACES AND MINIMIZING THESE DAMAGES
https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2084
<p>Earthquakes can damage underground mines in two main ways. First, earthquakes can cause <br>axial shift of faults, creating cave-ins and fissures. This poses a serious danger to mine workers and <br>infrastructure. Earthquake-induced collapses in underground mines may threaten the life safety of workers <br>and disrupt the operations of mines. <br>Secondly, earthquakes, especially in mines where gas emissions are common, may cause hairline cracks to <br>coalesce and turn into larger cracks. This may lead to increased gas emissions and explosions and fires. <br>Such incidents in gas-related mines, such as coal mines, both endanger the safety of workers and have <br>negative effects on the sustainability of mines. <br>Therefore, it is of great importance to be aware of the effects of earthquakes on underground mining <br>operations and underground cavities and to take the necessary precautions to minimize such dangers. <br>Protective measures such as structural strengthening, safe evacuation of workers, gas monitoring systems <br>and fire suppression systems play a vital role in reducing risks from earthquakes. Scientific research and <br>the development of mine safety standards play a critical role in minimizing the damage that earthquakes <br>can cause to mining operations and underground cavities. <br>In this article, the damages caused by historical earthquakes to mining enterprises and underground cavities <br>are examined. Historical data shows how earthquakes can affect such structures. Past experiences provide <br>important lessons to prevent similar situations from recurring in the future. For this purpose, technologies <br>and protective measures that can be used to reduce the damage caused by earthquakes to mining operations <br>and underground cavities are also discussed in this article. Appropriate measures taken against earthquakes <br>are vital in protecting both human life and property. <br>This study sheds light on efforts to understand the effects of earthquakes on underground mining operations <br>and underground cavities and to make such structures safer. Understanding the effects of earthquakes on <br>such structures is a critical step in reducing the effects of future disasters.</p>Gökhan KÜLEKÇİ

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2085
<p>Recent great progress in studying theoretical and especially experimental properties of Bose<br>Einstein condensate (BEC) creates a new era in developing and designing principally novel types of <br>quantum devices, including quantum sensors for measuring nonlinear interactions, external electrical and <br>magnetic fields, and other physical characteristics with high sensitivity. Here we discuss the application <br>of feedback control over a quantum sensor based on the Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in two<br>dimensional ring potential. For a weakly interacting regime, the dynamics of such a system are modeled <br>by three coupled complex differential master equations containing the parameter of interaction and the <br>chemical potential parameter. The last one plays the role of control variable in sensing protocol for two<br>body interaction. The goal of control is to minimize the effects of the higher energy levels in BEC by <br>driving their corresponding matrix density elements. The control algorithm is designed as Kolesnikov’s <br>feedback forming an artificial target attractor in the dynamical system. We re-formulate Kolesnikov’s <br>approach in the operator form to adapt it to quantum engineering processes. The control approach <br>proposed here can be efficiently extended to different sensing protocols for detecting external magnetic <br>fields, rotational components, and other physical characteristics of BEC interacting with the environment.</p>Sergey Borisenok

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2088
<p>One of the most common and dangerous illnesses affecting people on a global scale, chronic <br>kidney disease (CKD), does not manifest itself until the kidneys of a particular person have sustained <br>irreparable harm. The progression of CKD is linked to many serious side effects, such as an increased risk <br>of different diseases, kidney failure, nerve harm, pregnancy problems, anemia, and hyperlipidemia. This <br>illness claims the lives of millions of individuals each year. Since there are no significant symptoms that <br>can be used as a benchmark to identify CKD, diagnosing the condition might be difficult. Occasionally, <br>data may be interpreted wrongly when the diagnosis is persistent. To diagnose CKD in patients, this study <br>employs a machine learning classifier. Six machine learning (ML) techniques are used in this study, <br>including Random Forest (RF), Random Tree (RT), Decision Table (DTa), Decision Tree (DTr), Naïve <br>Bayes (NB), and Hoeffding Tree and multiple performance metrics are considered such as accuracy, TPR, <br>FPR, recall and mean absolute error (MAE). To select the most accurate classifier for predicting CKD, <br>these predictive models are created using a dataset on chronic kidney disease containing 279 attributes <br>acquired from Kaggle. Our objective is to ease the introduction of machine learning techniques for precisely <br>detecting CKD by learning from dataset attribute reports. The main contribution of the research is an ML<br>based model for diagnosing chronic renal disease that outperforms common diagnosing techniques and <br>reaches the highest predicted accuracy. This study also contrasted how well each model performed. We <br>were able to predict this disease with the Random Forest model more accurately than ever before, at a <br>76.23% accuracy level.</p>Abdul MajidMuhammad IsmailFazal MuhammadJamal Hussain ArmanBilal Khan

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2089
<p>Polymers and polymeric composites are increasingly used in a variety of products, mainly due <br>to their associated weight savings and ease of installation. There are three main joining methods for <br>polymers and polymeric composites: mechanical fixing, bonding and welding.

2024-10-132024-10-13710240245Parameterized Differential Transformation Method for Solving Initial and Boundary Value Problems
https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2091
<p>Recently there has been developed various modifications of some numerical methods of <br>approximating the solution of high order ordinary and partial differential equations. The differential <br>transformation method (DTM) is one of the numerical methods that allows one to find an approximate <br>solution in the case of linear and nonlinear initial and/or boundary value problems for various type of <br>differential equations. This numerical method was first proposed by Zhou, in solving of linear and <br>nonlinear boundary value problems in electrical circuit analysis. The main advantage of DTM is that it <br>can be applied directly to solve nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations without requiring <br>perturbation or linearization. This study develops a new extension/generalization of DTM called α<br>parameterized differential transform method (α-PDTM). The α -PDTM differs from classical DTM in the <br>calculation of differential transform coefficients. In this work, we applied the parameterized differential <br>transformation method to solve the following simple but illustrative differential equation. <br>�<br>�''(x) + u(x) +3ex = 0, <br>together with boundary conditions <br>�<br>�(0) = 3, <br>�<br>� ∈[0,1] <br>�<br>�'(0) = 0. <br>We also plotted the approximate solution to demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of our own <br>method. The results obtained showed that the proposed new method can become an alternative way to <br>solve boundary value problems of various types. Note that in some concrete values of the auxiliary <br>parameter our own method reduces to the classic DTM.</p>Oktay Sh. MukhtarovMerve YücelKadriye Aydemir

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2092
<p>Identifying and categorizing diseases in apple fruit is a difficult and time-consuming task in <br>the field of agriculture. It is crucial to have an automated method for detecting apple diseases to <br>effectively monitor and ensure sufficient and healthy production. While disease symptoms are visible in <br>the apple fruit, having experts diagnose them in a lab is expensive and time consuming. This paper <br>proposes a deep learning approach to detect and classify three types of common fungal diseases in apples <br>(apple scab, apple rot, and apple blotch) from Red Green Blue (RGB) images of apples taken at various <br>resolutions. The convolutional neural network model is used to distinguish between healthy and diseased <br>apples. Agriculture heavily relies on digital image processing and analysis to ensure the production of <br>high-quality fruits. Using CNN as a classifier to automatically detect and classify apple diseases, we have <br>experimentally proven the importance of pre-programmed knowledge in the agriculture industry. Cross<br>validation and testing on unseen data were conducted to exhaustively evaluate the trained model in <br>various parameters. The experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed deep learning-based <br>algorithm can accurately classify the three types of apple diseases with good accuracy.</p>Abdul RafayMuhammad AqeelMuhammad IqbalAhmed SohaibBadarul IslamAhmed Zaheer

<p>This research aims to enhance the quality of welding joints in industrial applications made from <br>High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steel, by optimizing the welding parameters for Shielded Metal Arc <br>Welding (SMAW). The quality of welds significantly impacts mechanical properties and is influenced by <br>factors such as welding current, welding speed, and electrode diameter. Suboptimal values of these <br>parameters can lead to defects, affecting mechanical characteristics adversely. In this study, we conducted <br>nine experiments using the Taguchi orthogonal array L9 design and applied Grey Relational Analysis <br>(GRA) for multi-response optimization. The optimized welding parameters, identified as 125 A current, 4 <br>mm/s speed, and 4 mm electrode diameter, resulted in a notable 9% increase in Tensile Strength and a <br>3.20% improvement in hardness values, indicating significant enhancement in weld quality and joint <br>integrity.</p>Muhammad Saad AfzalAneela WakeelMuhammad Ali NasirAsad Yousaf

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2094
<p>This study analysed the impact of roadside features and roadway characteristics on the travel <br>speed of multilane highways. Video photography collected data on traffic count and roadside factors from <br>ten sections. The study used the floating vehicle technique to gather data on speed, pedestrian road <br>crossing, and side walking simultaneously. A regression analysis was performed to examine the <br>correlation between speed and factors related to the roadside. The study found that pedestrian road <br>crossing was the most crucial speed-influencing element on open-access multilane highways, followed by <br>road built-up area and pedestrian side walking, through a multilinear regression analysis. The developed <br>models were validated using predicted and observed speeds. Proper pedestrian crossings, standing <br>facilities, and parking can mitigate the impact of these factors on travel speed. However, the study <br>determined that limiting pedestrian crossing and side walking and preventing built-up areas across the <br>road would increase the efficiency of open-access multilane highways.</p>Aziz Ur RehmanJamal Ahmed Khan

Polytechnics and <br>community colleges are significant contributors, accounting for 45% of TVET enrolment and producing <br>graduates with a marketability rate exceeding 90%. However, challenges persist in making TVET the <br>primary education option in Malaysia. The country's TVET agenda faces governance, industry <br>cooperation, quality accreditation, branding, and funding issues, which demand comprehensive solutions <br>to produce competent graduates that meet industry demands. To overcome these challenges, the <br>Malaysian government is taking initiatives to empower TVET through the establishment of the Malaysia <br>Technical and Vocational Education and Training (MTVET) department, Global Institute of Training and <br>Consulting (GITC), and Technical and Vocational Education and Training Council (TCH), as well as <br>funding allocation. The government aims to enhance the standardization and quality of TVET, actively <br>involve industries, and produce highly skilled graduates. In order to increase the number of youths <br>interested in TVET, comprehensive campaigns and branding efforts are necessary. By doing so, TVET <br>can become the top choice for preparing young people for the future. The successful implementation of <br>the TVET Collaboration Hub is crucial in achieving these goals, and Polytechnics and community <br>colleges are well-positioned to contribute significantly to this effort. By working together, all parties <br>involved can support the development of a highly skilled and competitive workforce that can contribute to <br>Malaysia's continued growth and success.</p>Mohd Daud IsaTengku Azman Tengku MohdSharifah Nurulhuda Tuan Mohd Yasin

2024-10-132024-10-13710274280UNRAVELING THE IMPACTS OF OCEAN PLASTIC POLLUTION AND STRATEGIES FOR EFFECTIVE MITIGATION
https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2096
<p>Plastic pollution in the ocean is a global environmental crisis with profound consequences for <br>marine ecosystems, human societies, and the planet as a whole. This paper delves into the concept of plastic <br>pollution in the ocean, emphasizing its pervasive and detrimental effects. It highlights the role of ocean as <br>a source of sustenance, climate regulator, transportation route, and vital ecosystem provider. While oceans <br>offer immense benefits, they face dire threats from plastic pollution. The harms of plastic pollution on <br>marine life are explored, with a focus on ingestion, entanglement, and the introduction of harmful chemicals <br>into the food chain. The adverse impact on water quality, sediment contamination, navigation, and various <br>human activities are also discussed. Understanding the pathways of plastic leakage including land-based <br>activities, stormwater runoff, marine-based industries, microplastic generation, shipping and maritime <br>accidents, and even atmospheric deposition into the ocean is paramount. To mitigate plastic pollution, <br>multifaceted approaches are required. Effective waste management and reduction of plastic production and <br>consumption, including bans and restrictions on single-use plastics, offer tangible solutions. Extended <br>Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs, improved recycling, and circular economy promotion are vital <br>components of mitigation. Innovative cleanup technologies and the strengthening of international <br>agreements and regulations are essential. This paper also offers policy recommendations, including the <br>implementation of plastic reduction and bans, the enhancement of waste management systems, promotion <br>of recycling and circular economy, and the enforcement of marine pollution prevention regulations. <br>Education, research, and public awareness initiatives are equally critical in our collective efforts to combat <br>plastic pollution in the ocean and safeguard the health of our marine ecosystems and our planet.</p>S.

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2101
<p>The impact of tourism on the safety of green turtle hatching at Pantai Kerachut, Penang, <br>Malaysia has been reviewed in this paper. It emphasizes the need for sustainable ecotourism practices to <br>protect the reproduction processes of endangered green turtles. The uncontrolled influx of tourists at <br>Penang National Park has raised concerns about its biodiversity and ecosystem. The study aims to <br>understand the existing situation related to tourism-based activities at Pantai Kerachut and their <br>repercussions on green turtle reproduction. The findings reveal that while authorities are making efforts to <br>control the number and activities of tourists to safeguard the ecosystem, room for improvement remains. <br>Illegal activities such as night camping disrupt the hatching process of turtles, necessitating stricter <br>monitoring. Furthermore, tourist facilities at Pantai Kerachut do not adhere to proper safety standards, <br>particularly concerning the jetty, accessibility, sanitation, and other essential amenities. There is potential <br>for enhancing the nesting environment for green turtles by introducing suitable vegetation along the <br>shoreline. To address these concerns, a comprehensive review of existing tourism rules and activities <br>based on national ecotourism policies is recommended. Specific guidelines tailored to the unique <br>ecosystem of Penang National Forest should also be developed. Lastly, further research is proposed to <br>investigate the hatching patterns and suitable environmental conditions for green turtles. This research <br>also projected to define specific time durations and activities with appropriate facilities, ensuring the <br>proper management of tourism and the preservation of the ecosystem at Pantai Kerachut.</p>Nayeem AsifSarker Mohammad Rezaul KarimRafia Karim

2024-10-132024-10-13710313319Ekolojik ve Ekonomik Sistemlerde Besin Olarak Böcekler
https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2102
<p>Böcekler, ekosferde yer alan hemen hemen tüm besin zicir ve ağlarının en önemli bileşenleridir. <br>Üreme, adaptasyon ve yayıma yeteneklerinin etkisi ile hayvansal organizmaların yaklaşık 2/3 lük kısmını <br>oluşturan bu canlılar nitel ve nicel olarak da biyolojik çeçitlilik bakımından da en zengin biotik <br>faktörlerdendir. İlerleyen yıllarda dünya nüfusunun çok artacağı öngörülmekte ve artan nüfus, şehirleşme <br>oranının büyümesi, ekonomik nedenler ve bazı çevresel faktörler nedeniyle, insanların yeterli miktarda <br>hayvansal ürün kaynaklarına ulaşmada büyük sorunlar yaşayacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu sebeple <br>geleneksel protein kaynakları yetersiz kalacak olup, yenilebilir böceklerin alternatif protein kaynakları, <br>mineraller ve vitaminler açısından zengin olduğu hesaba katılacaktır. Günümüzde birçok böcek türü <br>yenilebilmektedir. Böcek üretimi için özel bir alana ihtiyaç duyulmaması ve çiftlik hayvanlarına kıyasla, <br>daha az sera ve amonyak gazı üretmesi de yenilebilir böcekleri sürdürülebilir beslenme için de önemli bir <br>alternatif besin kaynağına dönüştürmektedir. Ayrıca anti-obezite, antimikrobiyal ve antioksidan <br>özellikleri mevcut olsa da, böcekler, çeşitli biyolojik, kimyasal ve fiziksel tehlikelerin de kaynağı <br>olabilmektedir ve bu nedenle yenilebilir böcekler ile ilgili araştırmaların artması, böceklere özel mevzuat <br>ve kalite kontrollerin oluşturulması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, böceklerin ekolojik <br>sistemlerdeki rolleri vurgulanarak, özellikle yenilebilir böceklerin besin kaynağı olarak kullanımı, <br>potansiyel yararlı-zararlı etkileri ve gıda alanında kullanımlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.</p>Aysel KekillioğluBuse Yıldız

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2103
<p>Patateslerin en zararlı böceklerinden biri patates böceğidir. Patates böceği (Leptinotarsa <br>decemlineata Say, 1824), Chrysomelidae familyasına ait bir böcektir. Dünya çapında tanımlanan 35.000 <br>tür ile Coleoptera takımının üçüncü en büyük familyasıdır. Bu familyanın üyeleri hem larva hem de ergin <br>olarak bitkilerle beslenir ve her iki yaşam evresi de aynı veya ilgili bitki türlerini tüketir. Birçok tür <br>konukçuya özgüdür. Bu tür ilk olarak Thomas Say tarafından 1824 yılında Doryphora cinsinin bir üyesi <br>olarak tanımlanmıştır (Say, 1824). Familyanin diğer üyeleriyle olan morfolojik benzerliklere dayanarak, <br>Suffrian (1858) organizmanın yeniden sınıflandırılması gerektiğini belirtmiş ancak kendisi herhangi bir <br>resmi değişiklik yapmamıştır. L. decemlineata 19. yüzyılın ortalarında bir sorun haline gelmiş ve bilim <br>camiasının büyük ilgisini çekmiştir. Patates endüstrisinde, böcek zorlu bir tehlike olmaya devam etmekte <br>ve coğrafi kapsamını sürekli olarak dünyanın diğer bölgelerine doğru genişletmektedir. Çeşitli stres <br>faktörlerine karşı potansiyel dayanıklılığının yanı sıra, çeşitli ve adaptasyon yeteneği yüksek yaşam <br>döngü ve süreci nedeniyle kontrol edilmesi çok zor bir haşeredir. Bu bağlamda; çalışmanın amaç ve <br>içeriğini, Patates böceği olarak bilinen Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say, 1824 ‘nın istilacı tür olarak <br>analizi oluşturmaktadır.</p>Aysel Kekillioğlu

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2111
<p>One of the critical issues in financial management is the investment decision-making process, <br>and one of the main goals of investment management is optimal stock portfolio selection. In this context, <br>there are various criteria and methods for optimal stock portfolio selection in the literature. This article <br>first calculates investment return and investment risk using data from 6 companies such as Amazon, <br>Yahoo, Microsoft, IBM, Apple, and Google for a one-month period from January 2014 to November <br>2014. Investment is calculated by 4 classical methods (mean-variance, mean-semi variance, mean <br>absolute deviation, conditional value at risk). As a result of these calculations, 0.05706, 0.028409, <br>0.028871, and 0.032995 with maximum ROI (0.0142 respectively) and Risk are calculated for each <br>classical method. Then, meta-heuristic methods (PSO, NSGA-II) are used for optimal selection of the <br>portfolio. As a result of the calculations, it can be seen that the NSGA-II meta-heuristic algorithm tends to <br>achieve the highest return on investment with a lower risk. These results suggest that the integration of <br>advanced computational methods, such as multi-objective optimization algorithms, may be important to <br>improve the precision and efficiency of portfolio selection in financial management. This can provide <br>valuable insights for investors and financial analysts.</p>Tohid YousefiÖzlem Aktaş

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2112
<p>Engineering problems are converted to multiobjective problems and the methods to solve these <br>problems have progressed significantly in recent years. However, most of these algorithms are designed to <br>solve unconstrained multiobjective optimization problems. In fact, many engineering problems contains s <br>large number of constraints. For this reason, handling the constraints is relatively hard challenge for <br>multiobjective algorithms. In recent years, the constraint handling methods have achieved promising <br>performance. Among these handling techniques, transforming the problem to a different problem to handle <br>the constraint looks promising and relatively new papers have been focusing on these frameworks. Hence <br>in this research this constraint handling algorithms discussed on a set of multiobjective algorithms and <br>analyzed their performances by comparing them with each other.</p>Okkes Tolga Altinoz

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2113
<p>The use of electrospun fiber using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as an adsorbent is a promising <br>premise in the treatment of dyed wastewater, such as brilliant green dye, from the environment. <br>Electrospinning is the technology where polymer solutions can be formed into micro to nano-sized fibers <br>that contain massive potential in wastewater treatment technology. In the present study, PAN/Bentonite <br>(PAN/Ben) was prepared by suspending bentonite powder in PAN solution before the electrospinning <br>process. The composite electrospun adsorbent fiber is then used for treating cationic dye wastewater. The <br>composition and morphology study of the adsorbent fiber found that the diameter of the fibers formed at <br>3.42 µm with elements of bentonite embedded in it. The adsorption ability of the adsorbent fibers reached <br>96% removal of 100 ppm dye concentration, with 64.84 mg/g adsorption capacity. The batch adsorption <br>analysis demonstrated that the adsorption process followed the Langmuir isotherm best, showing that the <br>adsorption process consists of monolayer adsorption on the surface of the adsorbent fiber. The experimental <br>data fits better in the pseudo-second order kinetic model, proving the adsorption to be chemisorption. The <br>pH and temperature study found that the adsorbent performs better as the pH levels increase from neutral <br>to basic conditions, meanwhile the fiber adsorption ability improves as the temperature of the solution <br>increase.

2024-10-132024-10-13710396402Seasonal Determination of Particulate Matter (PM) Pollution in Harran University Osmanbey Campus
https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2114
<p>Inhalable particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) pollution is a significant environmental and <br>public health issue globally. Exposure to high levels of PM, especially fine particles, can have severe <br>health consequences. These particles can come from a variety of sources, including natural events like <br>dust storms and wildfires, as well as human activities such as industrial processes and transportation. In <br>order to determine PM2.5 and PM10 levels at Şanlıurfa Harran University Osmanbey Campus, samples <br>were taken at certain times of the day using the Termo Scientific pDR 1500 personal DataRam sampler <br>device in the autumn and spring seasons. In order to determine spatial difference, 40 different points were <br>determined within the campus. The highest value for PM2.5 in November 2019 was measured at Point 5 <br>with 39.46 µg/m3. The highest value for PM10 was measured at Point 5 with 70.08 µg/m3. The highest <br>value for PM2.5 in April 2020 was measured at Point 1 with 46.79 µg/m3. The highest value for PM10 was <br>measured at Point 5 with 78.38 µg/m3. Considering the spatial distribution seven points (1, 5, 10, 14, 15, <br>16, and 32) with the highest PM2.5 and PM10 pollution were determined among 40 different points <br>determined for both periods. Common reasons for this include the fact that these points are exposed to <br>heavy vehicle use, the months in which the study was carried out are seasonal transition months, and dust <br>transport is at its highest levels in these months, which supports the results. Moreover, low pollution <br>levels were determined at the points where there is almost no vehicle use and are far from the campus <br>center.</p>Tuba Rastgeldi DoğanBedia Çalış

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2115
<p>With the introduction of additive manufacturing, traditional manufacturing processes have <br>been reinterpreted, with 3D printing emerging as a transformational technology across multiple industries. <br>Specifically, the utilization of polymers in 3D printing has surged due to their versatility, cost<br>effectiveness, and ease of processing. However, while 3D printing enables unparalleled design <br>complexity, some properties of printed polymer parts often necessitate further refinement to meet high <br>performance standards. Post-processing techniques have grown in popularity as a result of challenges <br>such as restricted mechanical strength, surface roughness, and material-specific restrictions. This <br>comprehensive review explores recent advancements in post-processing methodologies applied to 3D<br>printed polymer parts, aiming to enhance their mechanical, thermal, and aesthetic properties. The paper <br>delves into an extensive analysis of various techniques, categorizing them into mechanical enhancements, <br>surface finish improvements, and functional enhancements. Techniques such as annealing or heat <br>treatment have been investigated for their capacity to improve mechanical integrity, while sanding, <br>polishing, and chemical treatments have been employed to refine surface finishes. Coatings, including <br>priming, painting, and specialized nano-coatings, have demonstrated their efficacy in augmenting both <br>functional and aesthetic attributes. Understanding and applying these techniques is critical not just for <br>achieving current performance requirements, but also for realizing the full potential of additive <br>manufacturing across a wide range of industries. This investigation highlights the significance of post<br>processing techniques in expanding the capabilities and applications of 3D-printed polymer parts.</p>Ziya MehdiyevCsaba Felhő

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2116
<p>This study conducted a comparative analysis of machine learning algorithms to discern the most <br>effective approach for detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD). Timely and precise detection of AD stands <br>crucial for efficient intervention in this prevalent neurodegenerative disorder among the elderly. Deep <br>learning algorithms have demonstrated promising outcomes in AD diagnosis through the examination of <br>magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The research focused specifically on evaluating the performance <br>of diverse deep learning architectures, encompassing CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), in detecting <br>AD using MRI images. Utilizing a substantial dataset comprising MRI scans from both AD patients and <br>healthy individuals, the models were trained to automatically extract discriminative features from these <br>images. Experimental results underscore the effectiveness of the proposed models, notably the active use <br>of MobileNet and CNN, which achieved an impressive accuracy of 95.92% in identifying Alzheimer's <br>disease. These findings highlight the superior performance of CNN and MobileNet compared to DenseNet <br>and Inception V3 in AD detection, emphasizing their potential for accurate identification of AD compared <br>to other algorithms. Such insights offer valuable direction for selecting the most appropriate algorithm for <br>AD diagnosis, considering critical factors such as accuracy, computational efficiency, and resource <br>availability. However, further exploration and validation employing larger and more diverse datasets are <br>essential to establish the broader applicability and clinical relevance of these algorithms in real-world <br>scenarios for AD detection.</p>Mais AlhamidiNehad T.A.

2024-10-132024-10-13710441444Investigating The Impact of Renewable Energy Sources on Networked Microgrids Using Probabilistic Load Flow
https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2122
<p>Efforts to reduce the environmental impact of fossil fuels have led to the proliferation of <br>renewable energy sources in the power grid. As a result of the increase in renewable energy sources such <br>as solar and wind, uncertainties in the grid have increased. It is not possible to observe these increasing <br>uncertainties with deterministic methods. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the output values for different <br>input conditions using stochastic methods. Probabilistic power flow (PPF) was used as a stochastic method <br>in our study. We performed the study on a micro-grid (MG) test system with Monte Carlo Simulation <br>(MCS), which gives more accurate results than other methods. This method records the results by <br>performing the deterministic power flow repeatedly with high repetition numbers. With the increasing <br>processing power of computers, Monte Carlo simulations can be performed much faster. The test system <br>used utilizes multiple microgrids (MGs). There are no studies in the literature using MGs of this complexity. <br>In the test system used, four microgrids are connected to each other. In the results obtained, we can see the <br>total losses region by region. Only the lines between the microgrids are approaching their limits. The aim <br>of this study was to produce a program that can perform probabilistic power flow analysis in MGs. By <br>making improvements in the developed program, probabilistic load flow was performed in a very high <br>busbar system in a short time.</p>Abdulkerim İskenderoğluÖmer Gül

<p>Certain information is included to introduce cyclic codes on the finite ring. These are the <br>structure of the ring, its status as a linear code, weight function and distance concepts. Here the Lee <br>weight function is given for the ring. An automorphism is defined on the ring. With the help of defined <br>function, the composition of automorphism cyclic codes was constructed. A separate isometry is defined <br>to determine the correspondences of the codes on the rings on the objects. Then, the definition of the <br>inverse quasi-cyclic code is given and certain propositions and theorems are presented. It has been shown <br>that the image code of a code under isometry and the inverse quasi-cyclic shift transformation are the <br>same code as automorphism and the image of a cyclic code under isometry is the same code. Moreover, <br>the results and proofs regarding the written permutation, inverse quasi-cyclic code and automorphism <br>cyclic codes are included.</p>Mustafa ÖZKAN

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2125
<p>Pesticides are chemical mixtures developed to target certain organisms, kill them, control or <br>reduce their damage. Insecticides can be classified as subgroups of pesticides. In this study, the effects of <br>neonicotinoid insecticides and thiamethoxam, a derivative of neonicotinoid, on aquatic ecosystem were <br>investigated. Pesticides are frequently used in the agriculture and food industry, and their unusual use poses <br>a threat to the lives of creatures that are not a target in the ecosystem. Although they are used in small <br>amounts, neonicotinoid-derived drugs also pose a threat to human health because they accumulate in the <br>central nervous system and cause chronic poisoning. Similarly, as a result of industrial waste or excessive <br>use in agriculture, the residues of these pesticides mix with the nature and cause deterioration of the aquatic <br>ecosystem. Though its high volatility and low concentration in water pose little threat to aquatic organisms, <br>its absorption and storage in the fat tissues of these organisms that human consume as food leads to toxicity <br>to human health. Therefore, the definition, classification, properties and effects of pesticides were <br>investigated in detail.</p>Gökhan NURFatih AKARFatma AKAR

https://as-proceeding.com/index.php/ijanser/article/view/2126
<p>Microwave integrated circuits (MICs) are becoming increasingly important in communication <br>systems due to their ability to efficiently transfer power and signals using crossover structures. <br>Conventional crossover designs, however, suffer from significant signal and power losses, limiting their <br>performance. In various studies, there are complex planar designs, MICs and Radio Frequency (RF) circuits <br>operating from frequencies and bands. This paper proposes a novel fully symmetric four-port microstrip <br>planar crossover that overcomes these limitations. A square microstrip structure with a size of <br>80.0 × 80.0 ×1.6 mm3 is presented in the design, which has a planar crossover and wide band gap at an <br>operating frequency of 2.1 GHz. The proposed design provides excellent isolation between ports and <br>minimizes signal and power losses, making it a promising solution for MICs and RF circuits for LTE <br>applications.</p>Mert YerliMerih Palandöken

<p>Energy has an important quality considering that it provides opportunities to compete in <br>international markets and triggers growth mechanisms. In this respect, both non-renewable and renewable <br>energy sources are important cost elements in production functions, and on the other hand, they are also an <br>important manufacturing input. In addition to the fact that fossil energy resources are not infinite in nature, <br>global and environmental problems have led the world to search for new energy sources. This search has <br>led humankind to renewable energy sources that exist in nature, do not cause environmental degradation, <br>and can quickly renew themselves in case of depletion. The problems arising from the use of non-renewable <br>energy resources and their disadvantages in terms of sustainability have recently increased the importance <br>given to renewable energy resources. In this context, analyzing the relationship network between renewable <br>energy and economic growth has critical importance in determining more efficient and effective growth <br>strategies and policy alternatives. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of renewable energy <br>supply, renewable energy R&D expenditures and technological innovations in renewable energy on <br>economic growth in the example of the Netherlands which is a member state of EU. The findings obtained <br>as a result of the VECM model applied for the 1990-2021 research period show that the developments in <br>renewable energy supply and renewable energy technologies in the Netherlands has a positive impact on <br>economic growth.</p>Burak SeyhanZiya Çağlar Yurttançıkmaz
