Procedure for the management of distribution routes in the “Tínıma” Brewery of Camagüey, Cuba
(Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2019) Escobar, María
The design of distribution routes for the transport of products is a factor that increases the level of customer’s service and directly influence on good results in organizations, since it involves indicators such as: the travelled distance, transportation costs, and fuel consumption, which contribute to a more rational use of means of transport and available resources. The decision making process in the optimization process of transport, in many occasions, has been based solely on the subjectivity and experience of the members and managers of the organizations.
Reductions of topologically massive gravity II. First order realizations of second order Lagrangians
(American Institute of Physics, 2020) Çağatay Uçgun, Filiz; Esen, Oğul; Gümral, Hasan
Second order degenerate Clement and Sarolu-Tekin Lagrangians are casted into forms of various first order Lagrangians. The structures of the iterated tangent bundle and acceleration bundle are presented as a suitable geometric framework. Hamiltonian analyses of these equivalent formalisms are performed by means of the Dirac-Bergmann constraint algorithm. All formulations are shown to possess only second class constraints.
A new systematic approach for warehouse management system evaluation
(UNIV OSIJEK, TECH FAC, 2016) Apak, Sinan; Tozan, Hakan; Vayvay, Ozalp
Warehouse management is one of the most important legs in supply chain operations and production management. To support that warehouse execution, a warehouse management system is required. Many warehouses have used various methods to handle this difficult and time consuming evaluation process. The purpose of this paper is to provide a decision support model to make a careful evaluation of warehouse management system. Purchasing an appropriate warehouse management system in a supply value chain is not an easy decision making and is related to fuzziness and uncertainty, which should be considered as a large number of complex factors in multiple evaluation criteria. A Fuzzy Multi Criteria Decision Making approach is adopted to effectively evaluate warehouse management systems. To provide a practical guidance for other companies a real life framework is presented with an application.
A Decision Making Model for the Evaluation of Supply Chain Execution and Management Systems
(ATLANTIS PRESS, 2013) Apak, Sinan; Vayvay, Ozalp; Feyzioglu, Orhan; Apak, Sinan
A Supply Chain Execution and Management (SCEM) system is an enterprise application that integrates all of the necessary supply chain functions into a single system. These functions range from common ones such as warehouse and transportation management to less known ones such as demand management. In order to execute and manage the supply chain processes successfully, organisations need a comprehensive evaluation approach to determine the most suitable system. The evaluation of an SCEM system involves numerous decision making criteria. Moreover, it is usually characterised with uncertainty and vagueness since it is very difficult to rate SCEM system alternatives with exact terms. To cope with this problem, a fuzzy logic-based approach is developed in this study. This approach main integrates the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process to weight the decision criteria and the Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution to rate alternatives. A real life example is provided to demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach.

Outstanding thermo-mechanical properties of graphene-like B3C3 and C3N3
(Springer, 2020) Şenturk, Ahmet Emin
Experimentally fabricated two-dimensional (2D) carbon-based nanomaterials have received significant attention because of their ultra-high physical properties, in recent years. In this manuscript, the thermal conductivity (TC) and mechanical response of 2D B3C3 and C3N3 structures are studied in detail, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Their superior mechanical properties (Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile strength and failure strain) and TC make an excellent candidate for various applications of nanodevices. The mechanical properties of these 2D structures are also examined at five various temperatures up to 900 K along with the different loading directions and various strain rates from 107 to 109 s?1. MD results demonstrate that the mechanical properties of these 2D structures gradually decrease as temperature increases, due to the weakening effect of high temprerature. Additionally, when the strain rate increases, it is revealed that the mechanical properties show an increasing trend. Furthermore, at 300 K, the failure processes of these 2D structures are studied. MD simulations results demonstrate that these structures show brittle failure mechanism. On the other hand, various types of structural defects occurs during the production process and so these defects affect the physical properties of these structures adversely. Accordingly, the effects of various atom types, such as, N, B and C, vacancy defects on the mechanical properties and TC of these structures were investigated. The existence of vacancy defects in these structures reduces the TC and mechanical properties significantly by increasing the concentrations of defects. Finally, non-equilibrium MD simulations results indicate exceptionally high TC values of these structures.
Thermal conductivity and mechanical properties of graphene-like BC2, BC(3)and B4C3
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2020) Şentürk, Ahmet Emin; Öktem, Ahmet Sinan; Konukman, Alp Er S.
Recently, carbon-based 2D nanomaterials have received significant attention because of their superior physical properties. In this investigation, the thermal conductivity (TC) and mechanical properties of graphene-like BC2, BC(3)and B(4)C(3)structures are systematically examined, using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. For graphene-like BC2, BC(3)and B(4)C(3)structures, our MD results predict remarkably high thermal and mechanical properties. Especially, graphene-like BC(3)structure indicates higher mechanical properties than graphene-like BC(2)and B(4)C(3)structures. Also, the mechanical properties of these graphene-like structures are investigated at four various temperatures from 200 to 900 K. Our results indicate that the mechanical properties of graphene-like structures gradually decrease as the temperature rises. In addition, the failure processes of graphene-like BC2, BC(3)and B(4)C(3)structures are examined at room temperature. According to the MD simulations, these graphene-like structures show brittle failure mechanism. In addition, graphene-like BC(3)structure is more stretchable than other structures. Remarkably, non-equilibrium MD simulation results demonstrate ultra high TC values of graphene-like BC2, BC(3)and B(4)C(3)structures and so propose them for thermal management of polymeric materials or in nanoelectronics. Similar to the mechanical properties, graphene-like BC(3)has higher TC value than others.
Reduction of inrush current in a shockwave non-thermal food processing system using an exponential clock pulse generator
(MDPI, 2020) Eguchi, Kei; Asadı, Farzin; Shibata, Akira; Abe, Hiroto; Oota, Ichirou
Recently, shockwave food processing is drawing much attention as a low-cost non-thermal food process technique. In shockwave non-thermal food processing, underwater shockwaves are generated by a high voltage generator. Therefore, high inrush currents and high voltage stress on circuit components significantly reduce the reliability and life expectancy of the circuit. However, to the best of our knowledge, stress reduction techniques and their experimental verification have not been studied yet in the shockwave non-thermal food processing system. In this paper, we propose a stress reduction technique for the shockwave non-thermal food processing system and investigate the effectiveness of the proposed technique experimentally. To achieve high reliability and life expectancy, a new high voltage multiplier with an exponential clock pulse generator is proposed for the shockwave non-thermal food processing system. By slowing down the rate at which the capacitors charge in the high voltage multiplier, the exponential clock pulse generator significantly reduces the inrush current. Furthermore, to perform shockwave non-thermal food processing continuously at a lower voltage level, we present a new electrode with a reset mechanism for wire electric discharge (WED), where a square-shaped metal wire swings on a hinge in the proposed electrode. The proposed electrode enables not only shockwave generation at a lower voltage level but also continuous non-thermal food processing, because the square-shaped metal wire is not melted in the WED process. To confirm the validity of the proposed techniques, some experiments are performed regarding the laboratory prototype of the shockwave non-thermal food processing system. In the performed experiments, reduction of inrush currents and effective food processing are confirmed.
Electrostatic theory of irregular conductance oscillations through a quantum constriction under Hall conditions
(Elsevier, 2020) Sıddıki, Afif
We propose a semi-classical explanation to the conductance oscillations () observed at gate-controlled quantum dots under quantized Hall conditions. Our approach is based on the self-consistent screening theory of the quantum Hall effect and originates either from the interference of electrons or from charging effects. In the interference regime electrons acquire an Aharonov–Bohm phase while propagating coherently along the evanescent incompressible stripes at a particular filling factor, where the stripes enclose a magnetic flux. The charging regime finds its ground in Coulomb blocked, where the transport electron generates an additional energy scale to conductance oscillations. Combining these two regimes, we found that the period of conductance oscillations in magnetic field () may increase, decrease or remain constant at different filling factors, as observed in the experiments. In addition it is shown that, a gate potential can shift the incompressible stripe along the gated edge spatially, thereby changing the enclosed flux, and can induce with a period . We demonstrate that our formulation is able to generate the superimposed - interferences in stripe or checkerboard patterns in agreement with experiments. We can account for further salient and peculiar features of experimental observations for example the surprising absence of oscillations at certain filling factors.
Interconnected conductive gel binder for high capacity silicon anode for Li-ion batteries
(Elsevier, 2020) Taşkın, Ömer Suat; Yuca, Neslihan; Papavasiliou, Joan; Avgouropoulos, George
A new design for conjugation and crosslinking combined with a conjugated polymer and its application for high capacity Li-ion battery are demonstrated. Polyfluorene (PF), poly(phenylene) (PP), with lateral substituents, namely carboxylic acids, as a potential building block for conjugation was synthesized and characterized. The synthesis was achieved through Suzuki polycondensation reaction in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 catalyst by using dibromo benzoic acid in conjunction with dioctylfluorene-diboronic acid bis(1,3-propanediol) ester. Thermal chemical cross-linking between carboxylic acid in the polymer backbone and free hydroxyl groups in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) has been performed in the presence of Si. This approach enables a polymer binder with multi-functionality providing a high electronic conductivity and good cycling stability. Overall, we report on a Si-anode with capacity of 1932 mAh/g at C/3, demonstrating the improvement of the electrode using gel polymer binder.

(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020) Es, Firat; Semiz, Emel; Orhan, Efe; Genc, Ezgi; Kokbudak, Gamze; Baytemir, Gulsen; Turan, Rasit
Passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) concept with an already developed roadmap for 24% efficiency will be leading the photovoltaics industry in the upcoming years. In a few industrial pilot lines, efficiencies above 22% have already been attained. Pilot lines have important roles in bridging lab scale proven concepts with the products which are ready for mass production. Therefore, GUNAM Photovoltaic Line which is specialized on PERC concepts has been established to overcome the barriers that hinder the performance of c-Si solar cells in PERC concepts in a relevant environment. The aim of this article is to show how a loss analysis can be employed in a practical way in an industrially relevant environment. The analysis depends on the first results of the studies from 6 months ramp up period of GPVL A batch of standard PERC type solar cells with p-type base and atomic layer deposited Al2O3 rear passivation have been fabricated during the ramp up of the line. A detailed gain-loss analysis was performed to address the optical, electrical and recombination losses in order to increase the cell efficiency. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Small divisors in the solar system
(Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2019) Zhivkov, Angel
Consider the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth+Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune as point masses, moving according Newton’s inverse–square law of gravitation. Poincar´e proved [1] that the general solution of the N–body problem can be expressed as a formal Fourier series. But Poincar´e also proved that such a series generally diverges. This happens because some small divisors appear when we apply the method of variation of arbitrary constants [2, 3]. A divisor which may vanish during the next 1010 years we define as a small divisor. For each pair of planets, there always exists a principal small divisor which could spoil the stability of their orbits after certain time. Finally we estimate the impact of the small divisors to conclude that they would not destroy the stability of the solar system at least for the next 1010 years.

Analysis of function-call graphs of open-source software systems using complex network analysis
(PAMUKKALE UNIV, 2020) Tunali, Volkan; Tuysuz, Mehmet Ali Aksoy
Software systems are usually designed in a modular and hierarchical fashion, where functional responsibility of a system is decomposed into multiple functional software elements optimally such as subsystems, modules, packages, classes, methods, and functions. These elements are coupled with each other with some kind of dependency relationships to some degree, and their interactions naturally form a graph or network structure. In this study, we generated the static function-call graphs of several open-source software systems, where functions were the most basic type of interacting elements calling each other. Then, we analyzed the call graphs both visually and topologically using the techniques of complex network analysis. We found the call graphs to reveal scale-free and small-world network properties similar to the findings of the previous studies. In addition, we identified the most central and important functions in each call-graph using several centrality measures. We also performed community analysis and found that the call graphs exhibited a tendency to form communities. Finally, we showed that analysis of static function-call graphs of software systems through complex network analysis has the potential to reveal useful information about them.
Ensuring information security and non-stop functioning of an e-wallet / Bir e-cüzdan’ın bilgi güvenliğinin ve kesintisiz çalişmasının garantilenmesi
(Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2019) Mukambetov, Zhankarach
This paper explores the security of electronic payment systems. The study is relevant due to the constant increase in the number of crimes in the field of electronic payments, which is confirmed by official statistics. Users of electronic payment systems need to have an idea about the security of these systems, and therefore, about the security of their funds stored in them. In the course of this work, various electronic payment systems were examined methods ensuring the security of systems were analyzed, and the advantages and disadvantages of their protection methods were identified. Electronic payment system (EPS) is a technology that is a combination of methods, agreements and sub-technologies and allows for payments between counter parties over data transmission networks. EPS is part of e-commerce. Currently the main threat to e-commerce are crimes in the field of information technology, or cybercrime. EPS are divided into mobile services (EPS applications for mobile devices) and non-mobile (browser EPS, desktop EPS applications). By type of payment, EPS is divided into card payment systems and electronic money operators. Payment gateways are a symbiosis of card payment systems and digital cash operators. Such systems allow making almost all possible transactions within one system. Most of the EPS can be considered as gateways, but usually each EPS specifies the main type of electronic payments. During the work the following were accomplished: • Main business processes implemented at the facility were identified; • important assets were identified that relate specifically to these business processes; • vulnerabilities of the described assets were identified. In the course of the work, an analysis was made of the methods protecting mobile and non-mobile EPS services, such as SSL and SET, combined SSL and SET, CVV2- and CVK2-code, Address Verification Service, one-step and two-step authentication, electronic user certificates, E-num, electronic tokens, IP binding, biometric data, etc. Analysis of the protection of mobile services EPS showed that most of the protection methods identified weaknesses and vulnerabilities that make the theft of user’s money possible. However, legislative and technical measures to restrict payments prevent the theft of large sums of money through mobile services.

Towards achieving reliable and efficıent green cloud computing using micro-smart grids to power internet data center / İnternet veri merkezine güç sağlayan mikro-akıllı şebekeleri kullanarak yapılan güvenilir ve verimli yeşil bulut bilişime doğru
(Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2019) İbrahm, Mohammed Mansur
Energy generation and consumption are the main aspects of social life due to the fact that, modern people’s necessity for energy is a fundamental ingredient for existence. Therefore, energy efficiency is regarded as the best economical approach to provide safer and affordable energy for both utilities and consumers, through the enhancement of energy security and reduction of energy emissions. One of the problems of cloud computing service providers is the high rise in cost for energy, efficiency together with carbon emission with regards to the running of their internet data centres IDCs. In order to mitigate these issues, smart micro-grids was found to be suitable in increasing the energy efficiency, sustainability together with reliability of electrical services for the IDCs. We also found in our review how smart micro-grids can bring down the disturbing carbon emission by the IDC all in an effort to achieve a green cloud computing services from the service providers. In specific term we aim at achieving green ICT in the field of cloud computing with respect to energy efficiency, cost effectiveness and carbon emission reduction from cloud data centre’s perspective.
