Item A closer look at the statistical data: The tractor count increases as the agricultural production value decreases for Turkey(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2020-06-30) Solak, MehmetFAO claims that the World population will increase by 2.3 billion people by the year 2050 that practically means more food and more energy demand. Agriculture is an energy-intensive industry. Nearly 30% of the world’s total energy production is utilized by agriculture and related sectors. Energy consumption per-capita is accepted as an indicator of development and prosperity. Mechanization levels in agriculture are believed to be the key factor for total productivity. Tractors are the key mechanization units that operate in agricultural activities. Statistics show that in past years tractor numbers of Turkey have shown a great increase every year, however, some other statistics show a decrease in total agricultural production value. A simple co-efficient is proposed in this study calculated by dividing total production value to tractor count. Study shows that although tractor numbers are rising, agricultural production value is decreasing and the co-efficient for 2010 was 0.075, and it gradually decreased to 0,052 in the year 2016. Simplistic forecasting of tractor numbers showed that there might be nearly 1.6M tractors by the year 2030. Statistical data from TUIK and FAO shows tractor count increases but total agricultural production value decreases.Item Development of an android-based application to be used in the calculation of biogas and electrical energy potentials of different livestock manure(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2020-06-14) Altınbilek, Hakkı Fırat; Kızıl, ÜnalToday, in parallel with the increasing world population, the amount of waste and energy deficit is growing steadily. In order to ensure the sustainability of the resources available in this process, the environmental damage of waste should be minimized and innovative approaches should be undertaken. Especially recently, biogas production from organic wastes has been considered as an alternative for the effective use of resources. Since organic wastes are used in the biogas production process, not only the wastes are removed from the production facilities but also the energy acquisition makes waste management systems necessary. Data operating environments are important sources for demonstrating different capacities and alternatives in waste management. In this context, an application has been developed on the MIT App Inventor 2 platform that can calculate biogas and electrical energy potentials according to the characteristics of 7 different farm animals’ manure including dairy cattle, beef cattle, calf, sheep, goat, laying hen and broiler. As an example, biogas potential was calculated using the dairy and beef cattle data in Biga district of Çanakkale.
