This article investigates the socio-demographic determinants affecting the demand for functional and nutritional enhancements in milk products based on a two-stage model. In order to derive the implicit market values of these enhancements, first we estimated the relationship between the prices of differentiated dairy products and the amount or respectively the presence of specific characteristics in these products. Next, using these implicit prices along with the information on households' demographic background, we analyzed the socio-demographic factors that affect consumer demand for specific functional and nutritional enhancements. The model is estimated using a combined panel data set based on AC Nielsen Retail Homescan Panel and the USDA Nutrient Database. Our results indicate that being lactose/cholesterol free (LFCF) and organic implies substantially higher price premiums, whereas soy has a negative price. Socio-demographic factors such as income, racial profile, presence of children; education level. and age have significant effects on the demand for functional enhancements. Specialty milk consumption increases with age, education, and presence of kids, whereas it declines with income. The ratio of specialty milk consumption to total milk consumption is substantially higher among Hispanic, Asian and African-American households.

Challenges in dried whey powder production: Quality problems Özel, Barış; McClements, David Julian; Arikan, Cagatay; Kaner, Ozlem; Öztop, Halil Mecit (2022-10-01) © 2022 Elsevier LtdWhey is a high nutritional value by-product of the dairy industry. It is generally produced in large quantities and its disposal as wastewater poses environmental risks. For this reason, whey streams are used for the production of value-added products such as dried whey powders. However, there are several challenges related to whey processing that lead to low powder yield and quality, especially caking. These challenges can be addressed by optimization of product formulation and processin...
Development of a scada control system for a weighing and bagging machine Aykaç, Emel Sinem; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this thesis study, a prototype is designed in order to improve the weighing accuracy of the weighing and packaging machine that used in sugar factories. The unavoidable factory conditions cause weighing and packaging machine to do weighing errors. In order to correct these errors, the prototype produced in this study was designed as a quality control unit which will take the excess sugar and fill the deficient sugar in the sacks. Because of being small and having an easy installation, the application of ...
Hybrid transparent conductive electrode structure for solar cell application Altuntepe, Ali; Olgar, Mehmet Ali; Erkan, Serkan; Hasret, Onur; Kececi, Ahmet Emin; Kokbudak, Gamze; TOMAKİN, MURAT; Seyhan, Ayse; Turan, Raşit; Zan, Recep (2021-12-01) This study draws on our experiences with graphene to perform a hybrid TCO structure composed of AZO and graphene. We first set out to enhance the electrical and optical properties of AZO to enable its use especially in the field of solar cell. Hence, in our study, we deposited various thicknesses of AZO thin films on glass substrates and transferred single layer graphene on them to realize the formation of hybrid TCO structure. Among the various AZO film thicknesses, the optimum one, 300 nm, was determined ...
Comparative advantages of spinoff suppliers: a case study of a Turkish automotive manufacturer Uzunca, Bilgehan; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı; Department of Business Administration (2009) Using an evolutionary perspective, this thesis examines the presence of specific genetic features that make spinoff suppliers more advantageous compared to other (non-spinoff) suppliers. The spinoff supplier concept is studied by analyzing the automotive subsidiary of one of the largest industrial and commercial conglomerates in Turkey. The company name is kept confidential. In this study, the idea that managerial processes and routines of the parent firm will pass on to spinoff suppliers (like the transfer...
Advanced mathematical and statistical tools in the dynamic modelling and simulation of gene-environment networks Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (Springer, 2014-01-01) In this study, some methodologies and a review of the recently obtained new results are presented for the problem of modeling, anticipation and forecasting of genetic regulatory systems, as complex systems. In this respect, such kind of complex systems are modeled in the dynamical sense into the two different ways, namely, by a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and Gaussian graphical methods (GGM). An artificial time-course microarray dataset of a gene-network is modeled as an example by usin...
