My studies in the UK would not be possible without constant encouragement, support and patience of every member of my family whom deserves the greatest gratitude. I would like to convey my apologies if I have failed to acknowledge any contributions, I hope my apologies will be accepted. Abstract This study investigates whether there are productivity effects through international tech- nology transfer in the Turkish automotive parts industry. Being at sector level, previous studies cannot account for heterogeneities across sectors and within sectors. Before con- ducting this investigation, this study develops a more accurate measure of technological intensity for individual automotive parts, namely patent counts enabling identification of technological and economic characteristics of the industry. Focusing mainly on the motor vehicle assembly section of the industry, previous case studies have not thoroughly examined the automotive parts supply section. Hence, this study does not only enhance the understanding of both motor vehicle assembly and automotive parts supply sections of the industry, but it also provides insights into technological and economic relations of the global automotive industry with a developing economy. This study reveals first that the Turkish automotive industry is a motor vehicle assem- bly hub integrated well with the European automotive value chain. Second, higher the technological intensity of an automotive part, greater the import of that automotive part becomes, whereas smaller the export of that automotive part becomes in Turkey during 2002-2013. On the other hand, there is not clear technological intensity concentration on automotive parts produced in Turkey during 2005-2012, to some extent, reflecting the recent R&D efforts pursued by the industry to build up technological capability. Third, automotive parts supplying enterprises with international linkages in Turkey are more productive, pay more and employ more during 2003-2011. Therefore, this study argues that the government should specifically promote design and R&D activities, and international economic interactions of automotive parts suppliers more that increasingly constitute a larger section of the industry.

  • The Case of Global Warming and Climate Change: a Study of Aksaray, Central Anatolian-Turkey
    American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER) 2017 American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER) e-ISSN: 2320-0847 p-ISSN : 2320-0936 Volume-6, Issue-5, pp-144-155 www.ajer.org Research Paper Open Access The Case of Global Warming and Climate Change: A Study of Aksaray, Central Anatolian-Turkey Burhan Davarcioglu Department of Physics, Aksaray University, Aksaray, Turkey ABSTRACT: Climate is the average weather conditions experienced in a particular place over a long period. Turkey is one of the sensitive areas to climate variation in the world. Global warming has become familiar to many people as one of the most important environmental issues of our day. Climate change is disrupting national economies and affecting lives, costing people, communities and countries clearly today. Climate change emerges as a multifaceted global problem those results in serious environmental and socio-economic consequences. Associated with this warming are changes of climate. Climate change could well be the most severe challenge facing our planet during the 21st century. Tackling the climate challenge therefore requires bridging gaps between scientific disciplines and between science and policy. Dynamic and intensified changes in the global ecosystem result in significant disruptions to the natural environment. Most people recognize from their own experience that we have weather in all its infinite and wonderful variety, so that there are large variations in temperature and precipitation from day to day and week to week. The main income of the country is agriculture and agriculture based industry. Many of the likely characteristics of the resulting changes in climate (such as more frequent heat waves, increases in rainfall, increase in frequency and intensity of many extreme climate events) can be identified.

  • Comparison Various Body Measurements of Aksaray Malakli and Kangal Dogs
    Journal of Istanbul Veterınary Scıences Comparison various body measurements of Aksaray Malakli and Kangal Dogs Yusuf Ziya Oğrak1*, Nurşen Öztürk2, Dilara Akın2, Mustafa Özcan2 1 Cumhuriyet University, Veterinary Faculty, Department of Animal Breeding and Husbandry, Research Article Sivas/Turkey. 2 Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Veterinary Faculty, Department of Animal Volume: 2, Issue: 3 Breeding and Husbandry, İstanbul/Turkey. December 2018 Pages: 86-91 ABSTRACT This study was conducted to compare and evaluate some body measurements of Kangal Dog and Aksaray Malakli Dog breeds. The study group consist of dogs with an age range from 2 to 5 years. Samples for Kangal dogs were obtained from Sivas and for Aksaray Malakli dogs from Aksaray province. Observations from ten dogs from both species (5 male and 5 female), in total 20 adult dogs were used for this study. Some of the morphological characteristics as black mask around the head, cream fur colour and holding spiral tail were found evident for Kangal dogs while in all Aksaray Malakli dogs the head and body size, thimbleful black mask around the head, and 6th nail existence were determined as descriptive differences between the genotypes. While the effect of gender on muzzle length, body index and bone index was not found to be significant, it was found significant for other body measurements. The rump lengths in male Aksaray Malakli dogs were significantly larger than male Kangal dogs (P<0.001). However, this trait was not significant for female dogs. This can be associated with the significant interaction between breed and gender (P<0.01). Body index also showed the same trend.
