PROCESS OF THE ATATÜRK FOREST FARM It was established on an area of 20 thousand decares purchased by Mustafa Kemal, in the year of 1925 under the name of “Forest Farm”. The Farm which reached 52 thousand decares surface area with the purchase of new areas in between the years of 1925-1937 was granted and entrusted to the Republic of Turkey Treasury with the testament letter of Atatürk written on 11 June 1937. The Forest Farm which was first attached to “State Agricultural Enterprises Institution” was then included within the body of “State Production Farms General Directorate”. “Atatürk Forest Farm Directorate” was founded with the Law numbered 5659 enacted on 24 March 1950 and the name of the farm was changed as “Atatürk Forest Farm- Atatürk Orman Çiftliği (AOÇ)” until today. Together with various laws which were enacted in between the years 1950-1983 a part of the AOÇ area was transferred or sold to various institutions and its surface area was reduced to 30 thousand decares. A part of such transferred area was even passed to private property from public property through the following privatizations.

Yurekli (2) (1) Ankara University Agricultural Faculty Farm Structures and Irrigation Department, Ankara, Turkey ([email protected]), (2) Gaziosmanpasa University Agricultural Faculty Farm Structures and Irrigation Department, Tokat Turkey In this study, at-site and regional frequency analysis of rainfall data are carried out through methods of L-moments in Ankara province. Annual maxima and partial-duration series are formed using daily rainfall records obtained from rainfall gauging stations. In the first stage, L-moments and L-moment ratios, and probability distribution parameters of these series are computed and quantile values are estimated for various distribution and return periods for at-site frequency analysis. In the second stage, four data sets extracted from annual maxima series and annual exceedance and non-annual exceedance series are used for regional frequency analysis. Firstly, whole stations in Ankara province are assumed one region and then stations are split up three and four region using cluster analysis according to discordant stations. A set of analysis is carried out through index-storm procedure and regional homogeneity is obtained for each data set, and suitable distribution is selected for each region and probable rainfall values are estimated for various return periods via regional L-moment algorithm. In the last stage, regional growth curves are obtained with Monte Carlo simulation experiments for assessment of the accuracy of estimated rainfall quantiles.

CANKAYA, N. K. DARCAN and E. GUNES, 2010. A case study for production system analysis of Turkish Angora goat farms. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 512-520 The aim of this study was to determine both the current economic situation and the major characteristics of Angora goat farms. For this study, 100 goat farms were surveyed in the Ankara province, specifically, the Polatli, Gudul, Ayas, Beypazari, and Nallihan district, to examine the role breeding plays in the rural economy. In addition to technical analyses of Angora goat production, some outstanding traits of Angora goats were determined. There were no significant differences among the Polatli, Nallihan, Ayas and Gudul provinces, except for the Beypazari province in terms of goat population (P < 0.05). Over the last twenty years, the number of angora goats has decreased by almost 89%. Total mohair, milk and meat production has slumped because of the decrease in goat numbers. The main income of these farms is obtained from mohair, meat and the sale of live animals. Most of the milk produced from the goats is consumed by the families of the farmers.

  • Investigating How the Biographies of Today's Scientists Affect 8Th
    Eurasia Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016, 12(8), 1971-1995 doi: 10.12973/eurasia.2016.1286a Investigating How the Biographies of Today’s Scientists Affect 8th Graders’ Scientist Image Sedat Karaçam Duzce University, TURKEY Received 23 October 2015Revised 24 January 2016 Accepted 16 March 2016 This study aimed to investigate how a poster study focusing on the biographies of today’s scientists affected 8th graders’ scientist images. The study utilized a mixed model which combined qualitative and quantitative research techniques. 142 8th graders from a secondary school in Ankara Province Keçiören District participated in the study. Implementation took place in the spring term of 2013-2014 academic years. In implementation, students were given “Draw A Scientist Test (DAST)” in order to determine the scientist image of students before and after implementation and students were asked to explain scientists in their drawings. After the pretest, control group students continued their training following the curriculum, while experimental group students were given the task of preparing poster studies titled “biographies of today’s scientists’” in addition to their regular curriculum. According to research results, poster study on biographies of today’s scientists had no effect on 8th graders’ scientist images. In this sense, it can be argued that teaching process should include biographies of past scientists rather than today’s scientists and teaching practices that include the use of posters in presentations and discussions
