“…However, the extraction process produces potent pollutants to obtain the residual oil [5]. Ecofriendly ways to recycle pomace is to use it to produce biogas [4] as animal feed, insecticide, herbicide, and compost after thermal concentration [6]. Moreover, three-phase centrifugation and pressure systems produce significant liquid waste, which is called olive vegetation water (VW) or mill wastewater.…”

In the Rural Development Plan (2014–2020), the European Commission encouraged the conversion and supported the maintenance of organic farming. Organic olive oil (bioEVOO) production involves the use of environmentally sustainable fertilizers and the recycling of olive pomace (Pom) and olive vegetation waters (VW) to reduce the environmental impact of these wastes. An ecofriendly way to recycle olive wastes is to reuse them to extract bioactive compounds. In this study, the total phenolic compounds content, their profile and dosage, the antioxidant action in oil, pomace, and vegetation water was evaluated when the Trichoderma harzianum M10 was used as a biostimulant in agriculture. Two spectrophotometric tests (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic) acid (ABTS)) evaluated the antioxidant potential of samples, a spectrophotometric method estimated total phenolic content, and an Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC)–Orbitrap method evaluated the phenolics profile. Our results showed that the biostimulation improved the antioxidant potential and the total concentration of phenolics in the bioEVOO and bio-pomace (bioPom) samples and mainly enhanced, among all classes of phenolic compounds, the production of the flavonoids and the secoiridoids. Moreover, they demonstrated the Trichoderma action in the mevalonate pathway to produce phenols for the first time. The decisive action of the Thricoderma on the production of phenolic compounds increases the economic value of the waste materials as a source of bioactive compounds useful for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries.

“…Unless managed properly, agro-industrial waste may pose both environmental and health problems (Sharma et al 1997). For example, Abu Qdais and Alshraideh (2016) reported that there are 118 olive oil mills in Jordan producing annually about 35,561 tons of solid waste from the olive oil industry. Deterioration of natural water bodies due to olive oil mill wastes is a serious problem as reported by Azbar (2004) and Alburquerque et al (2006).…”

Purpose Agro-industrial wastes are posing serious challenges for the agro-industries. Composting and co-composting of such wastes will lead to converting such wastes into a useful product that will serve as a soil conditioner. The present research investigated the kinetics of composting and co-composting of several agro-industrial wastes. Methods Seven pilot scale composting and co-composting piles of substrates from grain dust (GD), coffee-processing waste (CPW) and olive mill waste (OMW) were tested. Temperature and moisture content of the piles were monitored during the composting process and adjusted whenever necessary. Results The biodegradation kinetics was found to be of first order for all composting and co-composting piles. As judged by the value of the reaction rate constant, and the temperature of the piles, the biodegradability of the grain dust was the highest among all composting piles, followed by the coffee-processing residue and finally the fresh olive mill waste. As for the co-composting, the highest degradability was noticed in the pile that was composed of grain dust and coffee-processing waste followed by that of grain dust mixed with dry olive mill waste, and then followed by coffee-processing waste and dry olive mill waste and finally by grain dust with fresh olive-processing waste. Conclusions Composting and co-composting of agro-industrial wastes is a low cost and an environmentally friendly waste management option for solving the problem of the disposal of such waste. The study revealed that all piles followed first-order kinetics with different biodegradability rates.

“…The PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment of Evaluations) is a MCDM method introduced by Brans and Vincke [20] and developed by Brans et al [21]. It is well adapted to problems where a finite number of alternatives are to be ranked according to several, sometimes conflicting criteria by using six different functions [22].…”

-A 3D printer is a device which is used to produce three-dimensional objects from a digital 3D file. The 3D printers were very expensive and not really affordable for the general public so they were being used only by firms. But nowadays, 3D printers are more accessible to the public with competitive prices and many different models. This situation reveals the problem of choosing the best alternative among these printers. In this paper, we handle the 3D printer selection problem of a company which is in 3D production business. Since there is no study in literature that uses a hybrid Fuzzy AHP and PROMETHEE for selecting a 3D printer, it is believed that this paper can help the decision makers about their 3D printer selection decisions. Another importance of the paper can be introduced as being a real life guide for a real life problem of a company. To solve the problem, firstly the selection criteria are obtained from the company. Then, selection criteria are prioritized using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and potential 3D printers are ranked using PROMETHEE. Finally, the best 3D printer is chosen for the company among five close alternatives. Keywords -3D printer, Fuzzy AHP, PROMETHEE, Additive manufacturingBulanık Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi ve PROMETHEE Yöntemi İle 3D Yazıcı SeçimiÖzet -3B yazıcılar, dijital ortamda bulunan ürün dosyalarını kullanarak 3 boyutlu cisimlerin üretiminin gerçekleştirildiği yazıcılardır. Piyasaya sürüldükleri ilk zamanlarda 3B yazıcılar sadece büyük işletmeler tarafından kullanılan çok pahalı cihazlardı. Ancak zamanla 3B yazıcı üreticilerinin sayılarının artması ile artan rekabet ortamında bir yandan yazıcı çeşitleri artmış diğer taraftan da satış fiyatları düşmüştür. Yazıcı sayılarının ve çeşitlerinin artması ise en uygun yazıcı tipinin seçimi gibi bir problemin ortaya çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, 3B yazıcı sektöründe faaliyet gösteren bir işletme için alternatifler arasından en iyi 3B yazıcı seçim problemi ele alınmıştır. 3B yazıcı seçimi için bulanık analitik hiyerarşi süreci (AHS) ve PROMETHEE yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı melez bir çalışmaya literatürde rastlanılmadığı için bu çalışmanın karar vericilerin söz konusu probleme yaklaşımlarına yardımcı olacağına inanılmaktadır. Çalışmanın diğer bir önemli noktası ise gerçek hayat problemine çözüm aramasıdır. Bu çalışmada 3 aşamalı bir çözüm yaklaşımı uygulanmıştır. İlk aşamada 3B yazıcı seçiminde dikkat edilmesi gereken kriterler netleştirilmiştir. İkinci aşamada söz konusu kriterler bulanık AHS yöntemi ile ağırlıklandırılmış, alternatif 3B yazıcılar ise PROMETHEE yöntemi ile sıralanmıştır. Son aşamada ise, en iyi 3B yazıcı 5 alternatif arasından seçilmiştir.Anahtar kelimeler -3D yazıcı, Bulanık AHS, PROMETHEE, Eklemeli üretim
