    Influence of Welding on Microstructure and Strength of Rail Steel
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020) Turkbas, Osman Selim; Cogun, Can; Sarikavak, Yasin
    In this study, metallurgical and mechanical aspects of cold flash butt welded rail joints were investigated. The relationship between the material characteristics and the distance to the fusion line were evaluated. Significant changes observed in grain size as it ranges 2-8 according to ASTM E 112. Hardness tests conducted and the average results of the rail head, web, and foot were recorded. According to the results, three different zones were identified including the fusion line, recrystallization zone, and transition areas. Tensile properties and strength characteristics have been investigated for the specified zones separately. Obtained experimental values were used as input parameters for the developed finite element model (FEM) to calculate stress distribution. The welded rail was subjected to realistic wheel load and stress distributions in weld were evaluated. The developed model has also been validated by comparing the theoretically obtained stress values with the experimental ones under various loading conditions. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.

    A Model for Adopting Cloud Computing in Government Sector: Case Study in Iraq
    (Nadia, 2020) Al Bajjari, Faten; Hassanpour, Reza
    Cloud computing is an on-demand delivery system of computing resources, such as servers, databases, storage, networking, software, and analytics, over the Internet on a pay-for-use basis. This technology is not currently widely utilized in government institutions, especially in the case of Iraq, for different factors. The main objective of this research is to identify the most critical factors that prevent the adoption of cloud computing, through developing a conceptual model that integrates the Technology Organization, and Environment (TOE) framework, Iacovou et al.' s model, and the Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory. The key factors influencing the adoption of cloud technology have been determined through literature review. The results show that the most significant concerns that can have a negative impact in the decision of adoption are as follows: feasibility, trust, regulatory concerns, IT readiness, privacy, compatibility, government support, availability and reliability, industry type, security, cost, complexity, organization size, organization culture, as well as direct benefits and indirect benefits have a positive impact in the decision of cloud adoption. Moreover, the researchers used the CloudAnalyst simulator to identify the real time performance of the cloud technology environment, and applied two algorithms via this tool, namely the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique, which used to obtain the weight of variables depending on the questionnaire results, and the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), which used to identify the privacy and security of cloud technology. Finally, the researchers have proposed guidelines to help government institutions to move to the cloud environment in an effective manner.

    Using Containers as Storage Facilities in Humanitarian Logistics
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2014) Sahin, Aysenur; Ertem, Mustafa Alp; Emur, Emel
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of freight containers to store relief items instead of operating a permanent warehouse building. Design/methodology/approach - A mathematical model is developed to determine the location and quantity of containers as well as the type and amount of relief supplies to store in order to investigate the practicality of using freight containers for storage. The model is tested using earthquake risk data, estimates of population under risk, and the distances between cities. An experimental study is performed using Turkish Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (abbreviated as AFAD in Turkish) data for total number of relief supplies. Findings - Considering the earthquake risk of possible locations, the results of the study indicate the target locations for containers. The idea of using containers as storage facilities helped beneficiaries to be reached within a short distance and in an efficient way. Research limitations/implications - The presented model is not implemented in real life disaster relief operations even if it is tested with real earthquake risk, demand and distance data. Practical implications - To apply this model in practice, the container locations within cities should be determined and managerial operations such as maintenance, environmental, and security planning have to be considered. Originality/value - This study presents the first analysis of three sub-topics' intersection: warehousing, pre-positioning in disaster relief, and containerization. To the best of authors' knowledge, containers have not been considered for storage of relief items in humanitarian logistics before.
