In developed countries, technology has become an inseparable part of people’s lives. While it is changing in a rapid pace, people are intensely eager to own its latest versions. This insatiable demand for technological equipment results in creating the world’s fastest-growing waste stream called “Waste of Electrical and electronic equipment(WEEE)”. Due to limited resources of the materials used in the components of WEEE and the risk that is exposed to the environment caused by some hazardous material included in, it is intensively needed to design a WEEE recovery system. In this thesis, we aim to make use of reverse logistics to design a network, which enables us to benefit from the recycling of valuable materials and diminish the environmental risk of hazardous material by treating and recycling. We are planning to decide on the location of facilities and the flows between the related points under different scenarios.

Evaluating attitudes towards Metu online a study of instructors of FLE department Cirit, Nazlı Ceren; Gümüşok, Fatma (null; 2013-04-01) Lately, through the rapid expansion of technology into the social branches of life, education has also taken advantage of the opportunities that technology provides for educational purposes. In all levels of education, the integration of computer technologies has not only been limited to the school hours but also off-school time. This recent trend is adapted for enabling instructors to share the documents necessary for the courses, promote communication between teachers and students, etc.(Lonn & Teasley, 20...
Feedback Motion Planning For a Dynamic Car Model via Random Sequential Composition Özcan, Melih; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert (2019-01-01) Autonomous cars and car-like robots have gained huge popularity recently due to the recent advancements in technology and AI industry. Motion and path planning is one of the most fundamental problems for such systems. In the literature, kinematic models are widely adopted for planning and control for these type of robots due to their simplicity (control and analysis) and fewer computational requirements. Though, applicability of kinematic models are limited to very low speeds or some specific cases, which c...
An Investigation into user experience of mobile passenger systems Kökcü Çetin, Selcen; Özgen Koçyıldırım, Dalsu; Department of Industrial Design (2019) With the developments in information and communication technologies, the use of mobile apps has increased significantly in many areas, one of which is transportation. Transportation, especially in urban environments, is a very current and prominent issue, with the ever-increasing size of the cities requiring more roads and more vehicles, while traffic congestions worsens day by day. Therefore, urban residents want to choose the most convenient and the least time-consuming way to complete their journeys. Mob...
Discusssion On The Idea And Technology In Labor Augmenting Solow Model Besides Physical And Human Capital Complementarity Erdil, Erkan (2009-01-01) It is suggested that developing countries could catch up with the developed world if only they attained increased levels of human development. The links between growth and human development are complex even with human capital its self and human capital to the physical capital. Besides large disparities in indicators of human well-being, such as life expectancy and educational attainment, not all countries with relatively higher levels of human development handles to achieve high long-term economic growth r...
Examining teaching presence, social presence, cognitive presence, satisfaction and learning in online and blended course contexts Akyol, Zehra; Özden, M. Yaşar; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2009) Online and Blended learning are becoming widespread along with the changing needs of society and advances in technology. Recently, there is a growing emphasis on building learning communities in order to increase the effectiveness of these learning environments. In recent years there is one promising theory that has generated considerable interest and has been widely adopted and studied by researchers: the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework developed by Garrison, Anderson and Archer (2000). The CoI framew...
