This study investigates the potential of renewable energy sources in Turkey for non-emissions of GHG and elaborates on a carbon capture and storage technology by creating a roadmap for Turkey. The main purpose of this study is to make a roadmap about carbon capture and storage (CCS) for Turkey to use as it proceeds. As one of the members of International Panel of Climate Change, which signed Kyoto protocol, it must adapt its acts and regulations. In addition, this study concentrates on the sustainable energy potential of Turkey, although the study investigated only the alternative energy resources suitable for Turkey: solar, wind, geothermal, bio-energy, and hydropower. There are huge numbers of potential renewable energy sources, and given Turkey's total energy demand of 106.3 million tons equivalent petroleum in 2010, only solar potential would be able to eventually supply the total demand, but energy from the wind and hydropower are sufficient to provide partial amounts. This study might help policy makers in their decisions regarding CCS technology. Currently, there are various technical and non-technical economic and social challenges that prevent CCS from become an extensively used commercial technology. This document discusses them and presents goals for each research pathway.Civil and Environmental Engineerin

Molecular epidemiology of HIV in a cohort of men having sex with men from Istanbul
In Turkey, the first HIV/AIDS case was reported in 1985. Since then the number of persons with HIV infection has increased, HIV is getting a public health problem. The aim of this study was to determine HIV-1 subtype diversity, drug resistance and gag cleavage site mutations among 20 HIV-infected men having sex with men from Istanbul, Turkey. The most prevalent subtype was found to be subtype B (50 %), but also the non-B subtypes A1, C and CRF02_AG, CRF03_AB and CRF06_cpx were found. Resistance-associated mutations were found in 6 patients (30 %) with 2/6 patients being therapy-experienced and 4/6 therapy-na < ve at the time-point of analysis. In these patients, the nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI)-associated resistance mutations M41L, T215C, V75I, T69N, the non-NRTI associated mutations V106I, E138A, K103N and the protease inhibitor associated mutations Q58E and V82I were detected. Two virus strains also presented Gag cleavage site mutations. With increasing numbers of HIV-infected Turkish patients that require anti-retroviral treatment, HIV-1 drug-resistance testing is strongly recommended in order to choose the most active drug combination for therapy to achieve better clinical outcomes
