This paper defines, and looks at examples of, the collecting and exhibiting of languages-in-use in the period c. 1600 to 1898, the date of the establishment of the first language museum (Grepstad 2018, 33). Focussing on materials that are generally overlooked in language studies, it discusses how and in what forms language was collected and exhibited in that period, and considers some implications of this evidence in terms related to those of historical cultural linguistics. To this end I present language data from exhibitable objects alongside information and interpretations of language collecting and exhibiting in the British Isles and by British collectors overseas. This examination of hitherto unscrutinized everyday inscribed objects should enrich or at least extend our understanding of the social history of the languages they display. Information about mostly small publications is joined to this data, as they demonstrate a different, but concurrent, manifestation of language collecting. The entire data-set was compiled from entries in online and printed catalogues of connoisseurs and museums, and digitized library collections.Connections between the entity we call language and the activities of exhibiting and collecting may not be immediately obvious. Pursuing insights gained from work on the Eurotales Museum of European Voices and on Museums of Language and the Display of Intangible Cultural Heritage, I show how inscribed objects demonstrate significant aspects of the linguistic culture of their matrix communities, while the historical activities and methods of collecting and exhibiting language(s)—by definition intangible cultural heritage—reveal the collectors’ models and views of language. In other words, renderings of selected aspects of language into tangible and thence collectible forms can be seen as concrete demonstrations of the linguistic ideologies and the linguistic cultural cognition of both the exhibited objects and the collectors.KEY WORDS: Language museums, Language as Intangible cultural heritage, Collecting.

TREATMENT OF EFFLUENTS FROM HEMP-BASED PULP AND PAPER-INDUSTRY .2. BIOLOGICAL TREATABILITY OF PULPING EFFLUENTS celal ferdi, gökçay; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (1994-01-01) This paper is focussed on the biological treatability studies of pulping effluents from a hemp-based pulp and paper industry. Experiments were conducted by using white fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, in a laboratory batch reactor. It was found that the colour removal efficiency is 75% for pulping effluents in the presence of high concentrations of glucose.
Analyzing the determinants of R&D, its impact on productivity and efficiency of firms in the Turkish Manufacturing Industry Kalaycı, Elif; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2012) This dissertation consists of three papers revolving around economics of R&D. The first paper analyzes the determinants of R&D expenditures with specific focus on foreign ownership and spillovers; the second paper studies the impact of R&D on productivity and the third paper analyzes whether conducting R&D enables Turkish manufacturing firms to catch up with sector leaders as far as their productivity levels are concerned. The first contribution of the thesis is the use of newly available data from Turkish ...
The Characteristics of Knowledge in Evolutionary Economics Bozkırlıoğlu, Berna Beyhan (Science And Technology Policies Research Center, Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), 2006) The main objective of this paper is to study the tacit and codified knowledge in evolutionary economic models. In these models, knowledge is defined as different from information, and as dynamic, path dependent and embedded in human actions, in other words, in habits or skills, and routines. Such a definition of knowledge, in fact, gives clues about the characteristics, tacit or codified, of knowledge in evolutionary economic models. From this perspective, tacit knowledge resides at the core of routines, an...
Treatment of effluents from hemp based pulp and paper industry II biological treatability of pulping effluents Gökçay, Celal; Dilek, Filiz Bengü (IWA Publishing; 1993-10-13) This paper is focussed on the biological treatability studies of pulping effluents from a hemp-based pulp and paper industry. Experiments were conducted by using white fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, in a laboratory batch reactor. It was found that the colour removal efficiency is 75% for pulping effluents in the presence of high concentrations of glucose.
REFLECTIONS ON A PROBLEM OF THEBAULT,V. DEMIR, H; Tezer, Cem (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1991-07-01) This paper is concerned with an elementary problem of V. Thebault which has remained unsolved until recently. We offer a natural solution of the problem and relate it to the classical notable configurations of the triangle.
