The Agricultural Reform Implementation Programme (ARIP), which was adopted under the aegis of a World Bank-financed Structural Adjustment Programme between 2001-2008, aimed to ‘lock in’ the neoliberal hegemony that had been developing in Turkey since the early 1980s by transforming the nation’s agrarian political economy. For hazelnut-producing petty peasant groups of the Black Sea Region, this...

Bu çalışmanın amacı, hercai menekşenin (Viola tricolor L.) gelişim ve kalite parametreleri ile besin maddesi içerikleri üzerine fındık zurufunun olgunlaşma zamanı çözeltisinin etkilerini belirlemektir. Serada yürütülen çalışma, 56 bitki tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre dört tekerrürlü gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, çözeltisi uygulanmış (7) uygulanmamış kontrol (%100 torf) farklı oranla...

Formaldehyde-based adhesives are used in the forestry industry. This is because formaldehyde inexpensive, easy to use and resistant moisture; it also has particular mechanical effects. Formaldehyde both advantages disadvantages. It known that various diseases such as lung cancer occur humans a result of release into air during after board production. In this study, urea glue mixture was prepare...

Rapid increase in construction activities has resulted in shortage of conventional construction materials.In the present scenario, the high cost of conventional building materials is a major factor affecting housing delivery in the world.This has necessitated research into alternative materials of construction.The effective housing techniques deal with reduction in cost of construction as well ...

Nocardiopsis sp. KNU was found to degrade various lignocellulosic waste materials, namely, sorghum husk, sugarcane tops and leaves, wheat straw, and rice husk very efficiently. The strain was found to produce high amounts of cellulase and hemicellulase. Augmentation of cotton seed cake as an organic nitrogen source revealed inductions in activities of endoglucanase, glucoamylase, and xylanase u...

The efficiency of four low-cost sorbent materials namely peas husk, broad bean husk, medlar peel and fig leaves, for removing cadmium ions from aqueous solutions, in single systems, has been investigated in batch mode. Kinetic data and equilibrium sorption isotherms were measured. Kinetics of cadmium sorption was contact time, initial cadmium concentration and sorbent type dependent. For a give...

Rice husk is an abundant agricultural by-product reaching the output of 80 million tons annually in the world. The most common treatment method of rice husk is burning or burying, which caused serious air pollution and resource waste. In order to solve this problem, a new method is proposed to comprehensively utilize the rice husk in this paper. Firstly, the D-xylose was prepared from the semic...

Agroindustrial wastes such as spent grain, cocoa husk, rice bran and sawdust, unamended and amended with cattle, poultry and goat droppings were studied as to their effect on growth, fruit yield and nutrient composition of tomato (Lycopersicum escutentum Mill) in two experiments. Analysis of the wastes showed varying nutrient composition with C:N values of 11.1, 12.5, 23.3 and 18.2 respectively...

The use of waste materials as organic amendments in soil remediation can affect metal solubility; this interaction will vary with the characteristics of the organic matter that is added to the soil. A pot experiment was carried out in a calcareous, metal-polluted soil, using Beta maritima L. as an indicator species for the treatment effects on metal solubility. The treatments were: fresh solid ...

The pyrolysis of hazelnut shell, polyethylene oxide and their blends were carried out catalytically at 500 and 650 oC. Potassium dichromate was chosen according to its oxidative characteristics and decomposition temperature (500 oC) where decomposition products are CrO3 and K2CrO4. As a main effect, a remarkable increase in gasification was observed using this catalyst for pure components and b...
