Transfer of military technology to developing countries: the Turkish case
… of selfsufficiency. The value of domestic arms production at the beginning of the 1980s was about 500 times higher than that at the beginning of the 1950s. By the early 1980s, more than 50 developing countries were producing weapons . The evidence indicates that Turkey has relatively enough arms …

Simulation study of a semi-automated flexible production line
… equipment is essential. Increasingly complex production facilities are difficult to analyse and improve. The possibility of worsening the situation rather than improving it means that experimentation on the line itself is often a risk not worth taking. One solution to this problem is the use …
