You know more than %50 of the price of gasoline is tax. So if people switch to Electrical cars there will be serious decline in tax.... so, some brilliant official must have come with this idea to compansate for the tax gains.

They may introduce some taxing system but this montly 100 euros won't work.

Solution could be hybrid or developing car with electric and small gasoline engine..

It's such a shame that Vestel has suppressed itself to be OEM manufacturer, it is the largest TV manufacturer in Europe yet it has none to very little brand presence in Europe, as the screen panels are produced for Sony.. Maybe Vestel can do good with this phone?

Damn it... It seems that guy really clever one who is able to create some great stuff with his prof title but why we are so fvcking professionals of wasting human source like him in a 30 squarmeter labs its windows covered with foil? Really? Yea maybe foils have a purpose like keeping EMW inside or something like that but don't we have any ultra modern labs with brand new scientific equipments under his command, EMW-proof rooms as he wishes... The guy has a valuable brain, we have plenty of them that we didn't give them enough credit, and unfortunately left the country... Can you understand the weight of what this guy achieved, if news is reliabe? This news is enough big for every single spy agencies may try to get that info... Is it really healthy to uncover such achievements before its finished? The outsiders may try to sabotage right? Idk... what you guys think?

screen size is big but full HD would be better 5" is good

it has no IP67

it has a snapdragon s400 processor s400 is for excample in the s5 mini.. that is not a fast but not a slow processor

android 4.4 is up to date..

1 GB RAM is not much.. it shoul have at least 1,5 GB RAM better 2 GB if it hat 2 than it would be a good phone

16 GB "hard disk" is good you can enhance it via SD Card..

camera we dont know the quality of the pictures.. a 8 MP camera can make better pictures than a 20 MP camara MP is not the only thing wich is importand..

they use 2 mp front camera its normal but a 5 mp front camera would be good for selfies..

but if they would have build a phone with Full HD and at least snapdragopn 600 and 2 GB ram it would be a good mobile phone like the CPU in HTC ONE M7

the disign is a mixture of HTC Samsung and Sony

GEBZE TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE PURIFIES WATER WITH A NEW TECHNIQUE

​

KOCAELI — An electrochemical reactor that exterminates disease causing elements in water was developed by the Gebze Institute of Technology (GYTE). The system is expected to reduce the risks caused by the use of chlorine, ozone and ultraviolet (UV) lamps in purifying drinking water. Research assistant in the department of environmental engineering at Gebze Institute of Technology Özge Türkay Daglı, in her statement to Anadolu Agency (AA), said the methods that are used in current purification plants have advantages as well as disadvantages. She pointed out the risks that are caused by chlorine, ozone and UV lamps, adding, "As it is cheap and simple, chlorine is used at purification plants in Turkey. She said ozone can be used to prevent the byproducts but ozonization is not only expensive but also its practice is challenging. She said UV lamps, on the other hand, are also expensive and not effective for viruses. Daglı emphasized that other countries are working on alternative methods, and like GYTE, started a project to produce disinfectants using electrochemical substances. She said that producing chlorine from salty water is a known and easy method: "This system can be used by integrating it with the developing technology."

The system is based on using titanium plaques as positive and negative poles and a process of decomposition of ions in the water using a diaphragm. The scientists produced two types of water, anolyte and catholyte, with advanced features by decomposing salty water in its ions in the reactor. The anolyte is called electroactive water and is used as a disinfectant since it has a high oxidation potential. Explaining the procedure, Daglı added that the disinfectant that is produced by only adding salt into drinking water is cheaper and more ecological than using harmful chemicals. She further said that electroactive technology is currently used in daily life in Russia and Japan.

She said that the countries that are mentioned above benefit from the electroactive water in food safety and medical sterilization: "This water prevents mildew, fungus and bacteria to grow in fish, fruits and vegetables," and that before using electroactive water as a disinfectant, its toxicity should be studied. Daglı said there are numerous devices in different types or volumes that produce electroactive water in other countries. She said that although Turkey has started to use this technology recently, the prices of imported devices are too high. "I support the idea that these devices should be produced in Turkey, however, we want to take action after carrying out more studies since drinking water is a sensitive subject," she said before adding that current studies only gauge chlorine concentrations. She continued, "Food engineers only study the bacteria in the water, but we are trying to determine the physicochemical features of the electroactive water as we are environmental engineers. On the other hand, we continue to carry out microbiological analyses that are specified in 'Regulation Concerning Water Intended for Human Consumption.' So far, we confirmed that electroactive water kills E. coli in drinking water 100 percent." She added that they will carry out their research on more resistant pathogens with performance tests. Daglı mentioned that since the primed water is a disinfectant in some ways, it can be used as bleach in homes and concluded that the cost of the project will be revealed in the next phases.

TURKEY TO SAVE $800 MLN BY USING DOMESTIC OS PARDUS​

​

ISTANBUL — Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology started a new project to install Turkish operating system Pardus to 10,000 computers used in its services.

The decision to use Pardus for public services was announced within the 62nd Davutoğlu government program.

An amount of 500 TL per copy was paid annually to U.S. based software giant Microsoft for its MS Office softwares.

With the new project, it is projected that $800 million can be saved from approximately 3.3 million computers used in public services.

Pardus is already in use in all computers of the Turkish Armed Forces and Turkish General Staff, while it is partially used by almost 20 public institutions, municipalities and universities, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Police Department.

Developed by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) in 2003 and released in 2005, Pardus bears its name from Panthera Pardus Tulliana, the zoological name of the Anatolian Leopard.

Turkey working to produce electricity from pistachios

From nuts to watts: Scientists work to produce electricity from biogas gathered from pistachios.
World Bulletin / News Desk

Turkey plans to produce power from pistachios. And it certainly has enough of them.

The country, the world's third-largest producer of pistachios, will gather biogas from the nuts, which are related cashews, to produce electricity. Production will begin initially in Gaziantep, a southeastern city of more than a million people that is one of the most important agricultural centers in the country.

Among Gaziantep's features are numerous pistachio orchards.

Scientists in Turkey have been working to produce biogas from pistachios on an experimental level for more than three years in a collaboration between the government, a small business development organization and the Middle East Technical University.

One ton of pistachios can produce 1.1 million cubic meters of biogas, which in turn can generate 14 kilowatt-hours -- enough to meet the needs of a typical Turkish house for a year, said Goksel Demirer, a professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering at Middle East Technical University in Ankara.

Turkey produces 112,000 tons of pistachios a year, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, making it the third-largest producer in the world after Iran and the U.S.

Gaziantep is the center of pistachio cultivation in Turkey, producing 100,000 tons a year. The city, formerly known as Antep, even lends its name to the Turkish term for pistachio -- Antep fistigi, or "Antep nut."

"Turkey's pistachio production is huge, and the potential of pistachio waste, which contains significant high organic compounds that allow us to use it as a bioenergy source, should be considered," Demirer said. "Since 2011 we have been working on using pistachio waste to produce biogas, and eventually we will have a facility in Gaziantep where we can produce biogas effectively."

A private nut company will open a facility to convert pistachio waste into bio-gas.

"Our studies on pistachio production in Gaziantep found that approximately 1 million cubic meters of liquid waste and, 20,000 tons of solid waste can be produced," Demirer said. He said that would also solve a significant environmental problem in terms of disposing of the waste, which can be expensive.

He said the pistachio waste remaining after the biogas is gathered could be used as fertilizer, as well.

A meeting on the topic opened Friday in Gaziantep. The meeting will bring together people from the public and private sectors, academia, nongovernmental organizations, as well as international entrepreneurs.
