Rural landscape planning in agro-tourism and agri-tourism

Turizm ülke ekonomisi için gelir getirici önemli bir kaynaktır. Turizm ile ülkemizin doğal ve kültürel peyzaj varlıklarının değerlendirilmesi, hizmete sunulması ve bu faaliyetlerden kazanç sağlanması temel amaçtır. Ancak plansız yada sadece otel işletmesine dayanan bu turizm şekli doğanın tahrip olmasına, doğal ve kültürel peyzaj özelliklerinin bilinçsizce kullanılmasına yada yok edilmesine sebep olmaktadır. Agroturizm ve agriturizm bu sebeplerden dolayı ortaya çıkan turizm çeşitleridir. Son yıllarda önem kazanan bu turizm çeşitleri doğayla barışık olmakla birlikte, var olan doğal ve kültürel peyzaj değerlerinin korunmasını, tanıtılmasını ve sürdürülebilirliğini amaçlamaktadır. Ülkemizin turizm ve kırsal peyzaj potansiyeli içinde agro ve agri turizmin önemi her yıl artmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kırsal peyzaj planlamada agro ve agri turizm nedir, uygulama şartları, genel özellikleri, birbirinden farkı, ülkemiz açısından turizm potansiyeline katkısı ve önemi incelenmiştirTourism is an important source of income for the country's economy. The main purposes are tourism and evaluation of assets of our country's natural and cultural landscape and earnings from these activities to ensure service delivery. However, unplanned, or only form of tourism that is based on the nature of the hotel that was destroyed, the destruction of the natural and cultural landscape features or use of the unconscious causes. Agro-tourism and Agri-tourism are the reason for a wide variety of emerging tourism. Gained prominence in recent years, although these kinds of tourism in harmony with nature, the conservation of existing natural and cultural landscape, the introduction and sustainability aims. İn our country the importance of Agri, Argo tourism in the potantial of rural landscape and tourism is increasing every year. İn this reaserch, the meaning of agri and agro tourism in landscape planning, application requirements, general characteristics, the difference between and importance of the contribution of tourism potential investigated

KAYSERİ KENT BÜTÜNÜNÜN AÇIK VE YEŞİL ALANLARININ SİSTEM YAKLAŞIMI İLE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

In urban environments green areas play an important part in forming good qualityenvironments with their ecological, economical, physical, social and aesthetic functions. Open and greenarea systems contribute the formation of urban communities by creating more livable environments. Inthis reseearch open and green areas have been searched in the frame of urban planning. New ideas on“open and green area system” have been developed. So, open and green area system is consist of threeseperate system components as “spatial, social and time”. The spatial system of open and green areas isrelated to their spatial connections. For forming a spatial system that is related to open and green areas,these areas must design as linked with each other and be costituted a spatial cotinuity. The system fromthe social point of view is related to the distribution of open and green areas according to the settlementhierarchy and social requirement. The system from the time point of view is constituted with providingthe historical continuity of open and green areas and their improvement. In Kayseri City, spatialcontinuity of open and green areas haven’t been provided. However, on the urban complex scale, thereare important potential areas for forming an open and green area system in the vicinity of the city. Butthese areas are under the threat of urban development. With an approach that is largely aboutconservation, a continuity that is related to time, can be provided. When the subject is considered fromthe social point of view, it can be seen that open and green areas are not enough in different scales in thecity. With the precautions that will be taken, an open and green area system can be provide in Kayseriurban complex. In this context, the results of the research present recommendations for an effective use of urban open and green areas of Kayseri for urban inhabitants.Kentsel ortamlarda yeşil alanlar ekolojik, ekonomik, fiziksel, toplumsal, estetik işlevleri ilekaliteli yaşam çevrelerinin oluşumunda önemli rol oynamaktadırlar. Açık ve yeşil alan sistemleri dahayaşanabilir çevreler oluşturarak “kentlileşmeye katkıda bulunmaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada açık ve yeşilalanlar kent planlama ile ilişkileri çerçevesinde ele alınmış, “açık ve yeşil alan sistemi” yaklaşımı üzerinedüşünceler geliştirilmiştir. Buna göre açık ve yeşil alan sistemi, mekansal, zamansal ve toplumsal açıdanolmak üzere üç ayrı sistemin birlikteliğinden oluşmaktadır. Açık ve yeşil alanların mekansal sistemi,onların birbirleri ile olan mekansal ilişkileriyle ilgilidir. Açık ve yeşil alanlara ilişkin mekansal bir sistemoluşumu için, bu alanlar birbirleri ile bağlantılı olarak tasarlanmalı ve mekansal bir süreklilikoluşturulmalıdır. Toplumsal açıdan sistem, açık ve yeşil alanların yerleşim yeri hiyerarşisine vetoplumsal gereksinime göre dağılımı ile ilgilidir. Zamansal açıdan sistem ise açık ve yeşil alanlarıntarihsel sürekliliğinin sağlanması ve geliştirilmesi ile oluşmaktadır. Kayseri Kenti’nde açık ve yeşilalanların mekansal sürekliliği sağlanmamıştır. Kent bütünü ölçeğinde ise kentin yakın çevresinde açıkve yeşil alan sistemi oluşumu açısından önemli alanlar mevcuttur. Fakat bu alanlar kentsel gelişimintehdidi altındadırlar. Planlama ve uygulamaya koruma ağırlıklı yaklaşım ile kentin açık ve yeşilalanlarında zamansal süreklilik sağlanabilir. Konu toplumsal açıdan ele alındığında ise kentte farklıölçeklerde gereksinim duyulan açık ve yeşil alanların yetersiz olduğu görülür. Alınacak bir dizi önlemile Kayseri kent bütününde bir açık ve yeşil alan sistemi oluşumu sağlanabilir. Bu anlayışla araştırmanınsonucunda kent halkına etkili bir kullanım sunmak üzere neler yapılabileceği konusunda önerilergeliştirilmiştir

Measurements of branching fraction ratios and CP-asymmetries in suppressed B^- -> D(-> K^+ pi^-)K^- and B^- -> D(-> K^+ pi^-)pi^- decays

We report the first reconstruction in hadron collisions of the suppressed decays B^- -> D(-> K^+ pi^-)K^- and B^- -> D(-> K^+ pi^-)pi^-, sensitive to the CKM phase gamma, using data from 7 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron collider. We reconstruct a signal for the B^- -> D(-> K^+ pi^-)K^- suppressed mode with a significance of 3.2 standard deviations, and measure the ratios of the suppressed to favored branching fractions R(K) = [22.0 \pm 8.6(stat)\pm 2.6(syst)]\times 10^-3, R^+(K) = [42.6\pm 13.7(stat)\pm 2.8(syst)]\times 10^-3, R^-(K)= [3.8\pm 10.3(stat)\pm 2.7(syst]\times 10^-3, as well as the direct CP-violating asymmetry A(K) = -0.82\pm 0.44(stat)\pm 0.09(syst) of this mode. Corresponding quantities for B^- -> D(-> K^+ pi^-)pi^- decay are also reported.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, accepted by Phys.Rev.D Rapid Communications for Publicatio

Design, Performance, and Calibration of the CMS Hadron-Outer Calorimeter

The CMS hadron calorimeter is a sampling calorimeter with brass absorber and plastic scintillator tiles with wavelength shifting fibres for carrying the light to the readout device. The barrel hadron calorimeter is complemented with an outer calorimeter to ensure high energy shower containment in the calorimeter. Fabrication, testing and calibration of the outer hadron calorimeter are carried out keeping in mind its importance in the energy measurement of jets in view of linearity and resolution. It will provide a net improvement in missing \et measurements at LHC energies. The outer hadron calorimeter will also be used for the muon trigger in coincidence with other muon chambers in CMS

Search for B_s --> mu+mu- and B_d --> mu+mu- Decays with CDF II

A search has been performed for B_s --> mu+mu- and B_d --> mu+mu- decays using 7/fb of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The observed number of B_d candidates is consistent with background-only expectations and yields an upper limit on the branching fraction of BF(B_d-->mu+mu-) < 6.0E-9 at 95% confidence level. We observe an excess of B_s candidates. The probability that the background processes alone could produce such an excess or larger is 0.27%. The probability that the combination of background and the expected standard model rate of B_s --> mu+mu- could produce such an excess or larger is 1.9%. These data are used to determine BF(B_s-->mu+mu-) = (1.8^{+1.1}_{-0.9})E-8 and provide an upper limit of BF(B_s -->mu+mu-) < 4.0E-8 at 95% confidence level.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure; version accepted by PR

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass
