Responses Of CLEAN ENERGY
A) The cleaneast energy source in my opinion based on the info provided on the website is , solar energy, this is because it is abundant in supply and is compleatly non polluting There are no carbon emissions in converting solar energy to electricity. Therefore it is the cleanest energy source.
B) The reason why solar panels are not commonly used is simply because of cost , manufacturing solar panels is quite expensive , and as such they are quite expensive to use. The other reason why solar panels are not used so commonly is because , energy storage is a big issue , i.e at night and in bad sun conditions there arent too many options of using solar energy and as such an alternative system has to be included in solar applications for backup this drives the cost of solar systems really high.
C) Wind turbines are quite effective in the sense that they can generate direct electricity from the wind. The biggest problem concerning wind turbines is the fact that the energy they generate is very unreliable because of the wind unreliability , i.e sometimes there is a lot of wind sometimes there is nothing , then the turbines will not generate any power which again calls for back up systems , driving costs up.
D) Another clean energy technology would be Fuel Cells , as fuel cells directly oxidize hydrogen , and electrochemically convert chemical energy into electricity, as such they are clean as no co2 is produced. A new source of energy can be the free energy source ,or also known as the zero point energy. There are various models out there which seem to work. But another more realistic new energy is nuclear fusion ( not fission) fusion has no harmful products unlike fission and can provide all the energy we need.
3.2 :
Global warming is essentially the phenomena which is responsible for the increase in the average temperature of the earths near surface air , this phenomena has been significant since the mid- twentieth century. This biggest impact of this increase in temperature has been on the polar ice caps , as they have started melting and this in turn has started causing the ocean level to increase slightly , this in turn affects life in the ocean , a lot of coral reefs are affected a lot of plants and species of fishes have been affected. Another big impact has been the weather patterns have started changing , this is because of natural convection currents , and wind temperatures and velocities , and rain storms , cloud formations are all affected by the temperature of the earths near surface air temperature. The only solution is to stop the damage that has not been done yet , and this can be done by adapting clean energy systems and reducing greenhouse gases like co2 , so2 , and no2 which contribute to the temperature increase of the environment. So we should try and get rid of dirty power plants like coal , gas , nuclear , and switch to hydro power , solar , wind , and so on..
3.3 :
Well i can take action by participating in their rallies and helping out with their website and perhaps preparing material and doing research for them.I don not belong to an such organization as of yet. Perhaps i might become a member of such an organization , but right now ill try to do as much as i can by saving electricity and being more careful about global warming. As of now i dont have any plans on joining such an organization as i am quite busy with school and other things , but perhaps later on i might.
3.4 :
Debate question to Greenpeace and shareholder: As you know there has to be balance between how much wealth can be made at the expense of the environment and how much can be conserved,what do u think this balance should be and how should it be implemented successfully.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. It's a pleasure to be with you today. My name's Elif Alış. I'd like to talk to you about Pepsi Company. First, I will give you historical of PepsiCo.
Pepsi-Cola is a carbonated beverage that is produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. It is sold in stores, restaurants and from vending machines. The drink was first made in the 1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina.
Here’s some basic information about name’s of PepsiCo.
There are several theories on the origin of the word "pepsi".
1) The only two discussed within the current PepsiCo website are the following:
Caleb Bradham bought the name "Pep Kola" from a local competitor and changed it to Pepsi-Cola.
2) "Pepsi-Cola" is an anagram for "Episcopal" - a large church across the street from Bradham's drugstore. There is a plaque at the site of the original drugstore documenting this, though PepsiCo has denied this theory.
Pepsi, "Brad's drink" was changed to "Pepsi-Cola" and later trademarked on June 16, 1903. 1905 A new logo appears, the first change from the original created in 1898. The Pepsi trademark is registered in Mexico, Argentina, Soviet Union successively. 1964 A new product, Diet Pepsi, is introduced into Pepsi-Cola advertising.
Here's some basic information products of Pepsi Company.
There have been many Pepsi variants produced over the years, including Diet Pepsi, Crystal Pepsi, Pepsi Twist, Pepsi Max, Pepsi Samba, Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Gold, Pepsi Holiday Spice, Pepsi Jazz, Pepsi X (available in Finland and Brazil), Pepsi Next (available in Japan and South Korea), Pepsi Raw, Pepsi Retro in Mexico and Pepsi Ice Cucumber in Japan.
Let’s have a look at some statistics.
2007 2006
Net Revenue: $ 13,591 $ 12,730
Growth Rate: 7% 8%
Operating Income: $ 1,095 $ 1,017
Growth Rate: 8% 6%
Diluted EPS: $ 2,20 $ 1.89
Growth Rate: 16% 11%
Operating Free Cash Flow: $ 597 $ 522
Growth Rate: 14% 4%
Secondly, I will talk about our states in other countries.
The Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc. (“PBG”) was incorporated in Delaware in January, 1999, as a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) to effect the separation of most of PepsiCo’s company-owned bottling businesses. PBG is the world’s largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of Pepsi-Cola beverages. This company have the exclusive right to manufacture, sell and distribute Pepsi-Cola beverages in all or a portion of 41 states and the District of Columbia in the United States, nine Canadian provinces, Spain, Greece, Russia, Turkey and 23 states in Mexico.
To conclude, I want to tell you about our vision.
PepsiCo’s resposibility is to continually improve all aspects of the world in which we operate - environment, social, economic - creating a beter tomorrow than today.
Thanks very much for listening to my talk.

Unit 3: BUSINESS
The brand means a lot of thing like name, logo, corporate identity or just recognisable packaging for somebody. And it is a trust mark for others. Common brands' values are very high. Thus, chooses of people may be much easier and it provides to contact with customers correctly. Brands must know what consumer wants. It is a fact which keeps alive competition. Brand provide development of conturies with poorer economies.
The definition of a brand
Type of products is not important; brand recognises its creative. Brand must win consumer's trust and attachment. Strong brands always stand in marketplace. Brands can reach from one country to another. Brand is universal.
Developing brands
Firstly brands is developed as needs of consumer's. Then it is created as a unique market in position but developing of it took long time. Developing of brand consist of four stages:
1. Identifying consumer needs:
Consumer of needs are not static because needs can change with developing of technology. So the brands strive to improve with tecnology for corresponding needs.
2. Designing products:
Product design and packaging are very important because needs of consumer are corresponded by them. For example; canning, baking, chilling and freezing.
3. Cost-effective production:
If the product wants to be give value and competitive the cost-effective is requirement for it. Product efficiencies, marketing efficiencies and distiribution efficiencies are more important for competitor.
4. Creating brand positioning:
This is the way in which the product meets the consumer need. Most important thing that brand has to be orijinal for every product.
Managing brands
There are four activities for obtaining of brand considerablely:
1. Monitor lifestyle changes:
While a brand making change in design it always must be in good value as protect originality.
2. Explore technological changes:
The beneficts can increase with developing technology so the brand leaders have to profit from developments and bring benefits to the marketplace.
3. Measure product performance:
Product mustn't be decadent and never decrease to second grade.
4. Never change positioning:
If brand position change, consumer loses buyers' trust. For example; packaging, distribution and media communication will all change. So, brand position must be fixed.

ABOUT TEXTILE ENGINEERING
Textile engineering (TE) or textile technology deals with the application of scientific and engineering principles to the design and control of all aspects of fiber, textile, and apparel processes, products, and machinery. These include natural and man-made materials, interaction of materials with machines, safety and health, energy conservation, and waste and pollution control. Additionally, textile engineers are given training and experience in plant design and layout, machine and wet process design and improvement, and designing and creating textile products.Textile classes are about; fibers, yarns, fabrics, dying and finishing process.Textile engineers work on product research and development, either improving current textile based products or creating new products. They may also be involved with finding uses for new fibers, yarns, fabrics, or textile finishes.
There are some specialization like:
** Textile chemical technology: It deals with the innovative solutions to today and tomorrow's textile wet processing opportunities.
** Fiber science technology: It deals with fiber and polymer research, helps to develops new fibers, and tries to increase the productive capacity.
** Technical textile: Technical textiles are the term given to textile products manufactured for non-aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary criterion. These include textile structures for autmotive applications, medical textiles ( e.g. implants), geotextiles (reinforcement of enbankments), agrotextiles (textiles for crop protection), protective clothing (e.g. against heat and radiation for fire figther clothing, against molten metals for welders, stab protection and bulletproof vests),spacesuits(astraunats).nufactured for non aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary criterion.
** Computer application in textile: This study helps the engineers to design various products with the help of computers.
Graduates with textile chemistry find careers in dyeing and finishing, technical services, research and development, quality control, product development, polymer science and environmental control. Most graduates of the with textile management program initially enter management trainee programs which can ultimately lead to plant or corporate management. Other career options include technical sales, industrial engineering, product development, marketing, customer relations, human resources, and cost and inventory control.
FIBERS AND FABRICS
Textile materials are made three in stages:
* Spinning fibres into yarns
* Weaving or knitting yarns to make fabrics
* Finishing fabrics to make them more useful
There are three types of fibres. They are:
1. Natural fibres
2. Synthetic or man-made fibres
3. Modern fibres
1. Natural Fibres
Natural fibres come from plants and animals: cotton from the cotton plant, linen from the flax plant, wool from sheep, silk from silkworms.
** Natural fibres from plants:
Cotton: It is cool to wear, has a soft handle, a good drape, and is durable. It can be washed and ironed, but it creases easily, is very absorbent and dries slowly. It is used for making jeans, t-shirts and towels.
Linen: It is fresh and cool to wear, has a stiffer handle, and a good drape. It is used for summer clothing, tea towels and tablecloths.
**Natural fibres from animals:
Wool: It is warm to wear, absorbent, dries slowly, is breathable. But it doesn't have good drape, and is not durable .It is used for jumpers, suits and blankets.
Silk: It is warm to wear, absorbent, has a soft handle and a good lustre and drape. It is used for evening wear and ties.
2. Synthetic Fibres
Synthetic fibres are manufactured using plant materials and minerals: viscose comes from pine trees or petrochemicals, while acrylic, nylon and polyester come from oil and coal.
Viscose: It has a soft handle, a good drape and can be washed and ironed. It is not durable and creases easily. It is used for shirts, dresses and linings.
Acrylic: It is warm to wear, non-absorbent, and fast-drying, with a soft handle like wool, and a good drape.It is used for jumpers, fleece jackets and blankets.
Polyester: It has a soft handle, a good drape, is very durable, crease-resistant, easy-care, non-absorbent, and fast drying. It is used for raincoats, fleece jackets, children's nightwear, medical textiles and working clothes.
Nylon: It has a soft handle, a good drape, is non-absorbent, fast drying, very durable, crease-resistant and easy-care. It is used for active sportswear, fleece jackets, socks and seat belts.
3. Modern fibres
** Microfibres can be blended with other synthetic or natural fibres.
** Microfibres are used for outdoor-pursuits clothing and active sportswear.
** Thermoplastic polyester or nylon microfibres can be heat-treated to give them coils, crimps and loops, which makes these textured yarns stretchy and warm. They are used for underwear, sportswear, knitwear and carpets.
Elastane (Lycra): This is always used in a blend with other fibres. It has good handle and drape, is durable, crease-resistant, stretchy (more comfortable) and is easy-care. It is used to make sportswear, body-hugging clothes and bandages.
Tencel: This is natural microfibre made from cellulose derived from wood-pulp. It has soft handle, good drape, is breathable, durable, crease-resistant, easy-care and biodegradable. It is absorbent and has low warmth.It is used for shirts and jeans.
Fabrics:
Most fabrics are made by weaving or knitting yarns together. Non-woven fabrics are made by bonding or felting fibres together.
1.Woven fabrics
2.Knitted fabrics
3.Non-woven fabrics
4.Modern, smart and combination fabrics
1. Woven fabrics
Woven fabrics are made up of a weft - the yarn going across the width of the fabric - and a warp - the yarn going down the length of the loom.The side of the fabric where the wefts are double back to form a non-fraying edge is called the selvedge.
There are two types of woven fabrics:
** Plain weave fabric
** Twill-weave fabric
2. Knitted fabrics
There are two types of knitted fabrics:
** Weft-knitted fabrics are made by hand or machine. Weft knitted fabric is made by looping together long length of yarn. The yarn runs in rows across the fabric. Weft knits are used for socks, T-shirts and jumpers.
** Warp-knitted fabric is made by machine and is used for swimwear. Warp knitted fabris is made by machine. The loops interlock vertically along the length of the fabric.
3. Non-woven fabrics
Non-woven fabric is made by bonding or felting:
** Bonded-fibre fabrics are made from webs of synthetic fibres bonded together with heat or adhesives. They are easy to sew, crease-resistant, do not fray and are stable to washing and dry-cleaning.
** Wool felt is a non-woven fabric made from animal hair or wool fibres matted together using moisture, heat and pressure. It is used for hats and slippers and in handcrafts.
4. Modern, smart and combination fabrics
Modern and smart fabrics are designed to maximise characteristics such as lightness, breathability, waterproofing etc - or to react to heat or light. They are usually manufactured using microfibres. The table shows some key modern fabrics and their properties.
Combination fabrics: Fabrics can be layered and combined to improve their handle, appearance or performance. For example:
- An interfacing fabric such as Vilene can be stitched or laminated to other fabrics. This reinforces, stiffens and gives strength to collars and cuffs and prevents the fabric from stretching or sagging.
- A quilted fabric has two or more layers sewn together to give an attractive appearance and added warmth.
- Gore-Tex can be laminated to another fabric using adhesive or heat. Gore-Tex is used for all-weather clothing and shoes because it is breathable and waterproof.
Choosing materials
It is important to choose materials that are fit for their purpose.
** Fibre content - should you use natural or synthetic fibres?
** Fabric construction - should you use woven, knitted or non-woven?
** Manufacturing processes - should you use dyeing, printing, mechanical finishing or chemical finishing?
** End-use of the fabric. What are you making - jeans, jumper, sportswear or a seatbelt?
** Maintenance. What are the aftercare requirements of the product?
Unit 1: ENGINEERING MATERIALS IRON AND STEEL
1. What is the first stage of the smelting of iron ore?
** Smelting of iron ore takes place in a blast furnace.At the beginning of the process the furnace is charged with coke(C), iron ore (Fe2O3) and limestone (CaCO3), which are placed in alternate layers.
2. What is the second stage?
** Then a blast of hot air at high pressure enters through the tuyere at the bottom of the furnace.
3. When does the coke burn to form carbaon dioxide?
** At the second stage the coke burns to form carbon dioxide.
4. Which reactions are simultaneous?
** The carbom monoxide then reacts with the hot iron ore, forming iron and carbon dioxide. At the same time, the limestone absorbs earthy impuruties from the ore, forming a liquid know as slag.
5. Why does the slag float on top of the molten iron?
** Because they are two layers there.
6. What is the final stage of the smelting of iron ore?
** The molten crude iron and slag pass out of the furnace at different levels.

HOW LAPTOPS WORK
INGLÉS II: PRÁCTICA DE AULA 4
1.- How Laptops Work
2.- Grammar Revision: Modal verbs
Name: ………ELİF ALIŞ………

- Explain how laptops differ from desktops.
The laptops are completely portable, and they use less power and make less notice than desktops models. But they are often a little slower and have less graphics and sound processing power. Nevertheless most users prefer the laptops. So laptops are also more expensive than desktops, laptops prices are falling faster than desktop prices. The laptops have battery for power to use portable. Keyboards and mouse are on the laptop. Also laptops have wireless system.
Like a desktop, a laptop has an internal hard disk drive, which stores the operating system, applications and data files. However, laptops generally have less disk space than desktops. A laptop hard drive is also physically smaller than that of a desktop. In addition, most laptop hard drives spin more slowly than desktop hard drives, reducing both heat and power consumption.
- What are the disadvantages of laptops?
Disadvantages: Laptops are more expensive price, have less disk space, have smaller hard drive more slowly, have less graphics and sound processing power than desktops.
- What are the main features of laptop components? (Processor, memory and storage, display and sound, power supplies)
A laptop’s memory can make up for some of the reduced performance that comes from a slower processor. Some laptops have cache memory on or very near the CPU, allowing it the access data more quickly. Some also have larger busses, allowing data to move between the processor, motherboard and memory more quickly. The motherboard is one piece of equipment that ties everything together, allows all the parts of your computer to receive power and communicate with one another. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a microprocessor that handles the calculations necessary for 3-D graphics rendering. Most laptops have graphics capability built into the motherboard or have smaller graphics cards with a GPU designed specifically for laptop use. Laptops frequently share memory between the CPU and GPU, saving spaces and reducing power consumption.
Most laptops also have sounds cards or integrated sound processing on the motherboard as well as small, built-in speakers. Laptops have small batteries so laptops are portable and can run on batteries alone. Lilon batteries are the current standard for laptop computers. They are light and have long life spans.
- What are whitebooks?
A¬ modded or homemade laptop is called a whitebook.
-Who invented the laptop?
William Moggridge of Grid Systems Corporation invented it.
-When was it invented?
It was invented in 1979.
- Describe what kind of laptop Gavilan computer and Apple Computer produced.
Gavilan computer and Apple introduced other portable computers. The first commercially viable machine however was the IBM PC Convertible, introduced in 1986. The PC Convertible featured:
• An 8088 microprocessor
• 256 kilobytes of memory
• Two 3.5-inch (8.9-cm) floppy drives
• An LCD display
• Parallel and serial printer ports
• Space for an internal modem
• A software suite including basic word processing, appointment calendar, telephone/address book, and calculator software
-Summarize the main ideas from the two video clips and paste them on your blog
First video: How to add RAM to a laptop?
There is a part behind of laptop which contains two slides. One of them is open. We can fix new RAM in this part, so we can do everything very quickly.
Second video: How to buy a laptop?
Typical use: purchase ‘sale’ laptop verify it has 512 Mb RAM
Heavy use: Processor 2 GHz+
RAM 1 Gb+
Screen 1024 x 768+
Hard drive 80 Gb+
DVD writer
Wireless network 802.11 g
The first important thing is processor. Processor is sold in units of MHz and GHz. For heavy works, it must be 2 GHz. Second important topic is amount of ram /size of ram. There are three types of ram's size. These are 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB. 256 MB isn't enough and 512 MB is for typical use and 1 GB is for heavy use. Screen size: most low cost screen size loptops have 1024*768 pixel. This is typical screen size. If you want to buy loptop that has higher pixel,you have to pay extra money for more pixel. Hard discs are sold in unit of GB. 40 GB is typical harddisc but it is not enough. For heavy use like storing sounds and photographers, 80 GB is more suitable. Optical drive:we can have 3 options.these are CD or DVD reader,CD writer and dvd writer. CD writer is nice because it is easy way to back up. DVD writer is nice , if you want to store more data. Wireless network: make sure we have a wireless network card. Typical wireless network card is 802,11 g.
