Incentivizing Farmers to Invest in Quality through Quality-Based Payment
(Wiley, 2021)
We consider a for-profit cooperative that sets a quality-based payment to its risk-averse farmers in order to incentivize them to invest in quality improvements. The quality of the farmer's harvest is affected by his ...
EVALUATING LOGISTICS VILLAGES IN TURKEY USING HYBRID IMPROVED FUZZY SWARA (IMF SWARA) AND FUZZY MABAC TECHNIQUES
(Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, 2021)
Positioning in the right location for organizing logistics activities is a determinative factor in the aspect of costs, effectivity, productivity, and performance of these operations carried out by logistics firms. The ...
Revisiting destination competitiveness through chaos theory: The butterfly competitiveness model
(Elsevier, 2021)
The second decade of this century has been characterized by a particular emphasis on the significance of safety and security in human life in general and in tourist decision-making in particular. This study is therefore a ...
Antioxidant and Enzyme Inhibitory Properties, and HPLC-MS/MS Profiles of Different Extracts of Arabis carduchorum Boiss.: An Endemic Plant to Turkey
(Mdpi, 2022)
In this study, six extracts of Arabis carduchorum prepared from solvents of varying polarity (water, methanol, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, and n-hexane) were investigated for their chemical profiles and total phenolic ...
Four-searchable biconnected outerplanar graphs
(Elsevier, 2022)
This paper deals with constructing obstruction sets for two subclasses of 4-searchable graphs. We first characterize the 4-searchable biconnected outerplanar graphs by listing all graphs that cannot be their minors; we ...
National identity predicts public health support during a global pandemic
(Nature Portfolio, 2022)
Understanding collective behaviour is an important aspect of managing the pandemic response. Here the authors show in a large global study that participants that reported identifying more strongly with their nation reported ...
Re-considering the energy efficient retrofitting approach to question cost-optimality and nZEB under COVID-19 measures
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022)
The building energy performance has been highly studied in the last decades considering the indoor environmental quality, and sustainability indicators to examine energy-efficient cost-optimal, and nZEB building levels for ...
A new service recommendation method for agricultural industries in the fog-based Internet of Things environment using a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022)
Regardless of public perceptions of the agricultural techniques, the fact is that the current agriculture industry is more data-driven, accurate, and intelligent than before. Therefore, novel technologies such as fog ...
New Biological and Chemical Evidences of Two Lamiaceae Species (Thymbra capitata and Thymus sipyleus subsp. rosulans): In Vitro, In Silico and Ex Vivo Approaches
(Mdpi, 2022)
In this study, the methanolic and infusion extracts of two species, Thymbra capitata and Thymus sipyleus subsp. rosulans, were tested for their chemical composition and biological abilities (antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory ...
An advanced Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm and its application to planning problem in smart grids
(Springer, 2022)
Due to the complex mathematical structures of the models in engineering, heuristic methods which do not require derivative are developed. This paper improves recently developed Grey Wolf Optimization Algorithm by extending ...
