Item Open Access The Iranian quagmire: how to move forward. Position: resuscitate the nuclear swap deal(Educational Foundation for Nuclear Science, 2010) Kibaroglu, M.As the writers in this symposium illustrate, dealing with Iran's nuclear program is one of the most important foreign policy issues of the day. Years of stalled talks, diplomatic dead-ends, and sanctions have made it difficult to see exactly where progress has been made and what efforts are worth pursuing. In this Global Forum, leading foreign policy experts weigh in from around the world on the options for how to move forward with Iran-from diplomacy to fuel swaps to military strikes. Whatever their proposed solutions, the writers express one common theme: We ignore Iran at our own peril.Item Open Access Modelling and optimization of Turkish army fuel supply system via simulation(Bilkent University, 2001) Hatip, AhmetThe movement of the troops, which is so critical to tactical success, depends on the provision of large quantities of fuel. This thesis employs the simulation tool as an effective vehicle for defining the path from competitive concepts to real world solutions, models Turkish Army Fuel Supply System and brings up ways of optimization. During peace, the utilization of all the pipelines between the tanks and the utilization of the tanks are measured, minimum number of tanks and their sizes needed to meet the demands of troops are specified, the thought of making the system available for civilian use is analyzed and some suggestions are made. In war conditions, the endurance of the existing system for different demand sizes are measured and new system configurations are investigated. The trigger levels of the tanks are optimized in each of these new scenarios so that the system can supply fuel longer for the troops.
