A Note On Noncompact And Nonmetricit Quadratic Curvature Gravity Theories, Suat Dengi̇z Jan 2018

A Note On Noncompact And Nonmetricit Quadratic Curvature Gravity Theories, Suat Dengi̇z

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this note, we evaluate the Weyl-invariant quadratic curvature tensors for the particular Weyl gauge field constructed in the $3+1$-dimensional noncompact Weyl-Einstein-Yang-Mills model. We subsequently extend the model to its higher curvature version. We also compute the Weyl-invariant extension of the topological Gauss-Bonnet term for this specific choice of vector field.


Predictions On Three-Particle Azimuthal Correlations In Proton-Proton Collisions, Şener Özönder Jan 2018

Predictions On Three-Particle Azimuthal Correlations In Proton-Proton Collisions, Şener Özönder

Turkish Journal of Physics

The ridge signal, which is long-ranged in rapidity, in di-hadron correlations in high-multiplicity p-p and p-A collisions opened up a whole new research area in high-energy QCD. Although the ridge had been observed in A-A collisions and interpreted as a result of the radial flow of quark-gluon plasma, it had not appeared until recently in the data of small collision systems such as p-p and p-A, nor had it been predicted theoretically or seen in event generators. There are two competing approaches that attempt to explain the systematics of the di-hadron ridge signal: hydrodynamics and gluon saturation physics (color glass …


Design Of A Multifunctional Sample Probe For Transport Measurements, Mustafa Öztürk, Numan Akdoğan Jan 2018

Design Of A Multifunctional Sample Probe For Transport Measurements, Mustafa Öztürk, Numan Akdoğan

Turkish Journal of Physics

Herein, we describe a multifunctional sample probe equipped with a two-axis goniometer for transport measurements. The two-axis goniometer enables both computer-controlled 360$^{\circ}$ out-of-plane and manual 360$^{\circ}$ in-plane rotations. The multifunctional sample probe was successfully implemented to a host dewar and an electromagnet system. The developed probe is capable of performing transport measurements while fully controlling the parameters such as the magnetic and electrical fields, the angle, the temperature, and the current/voltage parameters in a wide range. The design of the multifunctional sample probe allows easy installation into different dewar and magnet systems and connection of a wide range of external …


Permanent Magnet Motion In A Copper Tube, Jaroslav Franek, Martin Soka Jan 2018

Permanent Magnet Motion In A Copper Tube, Jaroslav Franek, Martin Soka

Turkish Journal of Physics

This paper deals with the investigation of braking forces induced by eddy currents, which have effects on the permanent magnet moving at a constant speed in the direction of the conductive tube axis. The analysis is based on calculation of an action of a force between the current density, representing the magnet, and the eddy currents. The chosen solution is based on classical electrodynamics and can serve as a guide for the calculation of other cases, where braking forces are created between the moving cell, which is a source of the magnetic field, and a close conductive subject. The obtained …


Quantum Many-Body Interactions In The Presence Of Disordered Potentials, Riza Oğul Jan 2018

Quantum Many-Body Interactions In The Presence Of Disordered Potentials, Riza Oğul

Turkish Journal of Physics

The time evolution of the quantum nonequilibrium states of many-body particles is described with a set of hierarchies of quantum kinetic equations with quantum wave functions. A collision term is obtained in terms of two-body interactions in the mean-field with a disordered potential, which is proposed for the first time. The implications and the limits of applicability of the resulting kinetic equations are discussed.

Thermodynamics Of Cosmological Models With Generalized $G$ And $\Lambda $, M Saratchandra Singh, Sanasam Surendra Singh

Turkish Journal of Physics

Here we investigate spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-time models of the universe to study the thermodynamic behaviors in light of variables $G$ and $\Lambda $. A particular method to find the solutions of Einstein's field equations and mathematical expressions for temperature and entropy of the perfect fluid cosmological models is introduced by using both the equation of state and the assumption $G=G_{0} \,a^{n}$. It is observed that the phantom field of ($\omega

Single Production Of The Excited Muons At The Sppc-Based Ultimate Μp Collider, Abdullati̇f Çalişkan Jan 2018

Single Production Of The Excited Muons At The Sppc-Based Ultimate Μp Collider, Abdullati̇f Çalişkan

Turkish Journal of Physics

Single production potential of the excited muons at the SPPC-based ultimate muon-proton collider with center-of-mass energy of 116.6 TeV was analyzed. We calculated the production cross-sections and the decay widths of the excited muons with the process of µp → µ*X → γµX. We obtained the normalized transverse momentum and pseudorapidity distributions of the final-state particles to attain the kinematical cuts for the discovery of the excited muons. With these cuts, we determined the mass limits. It was shown that the discovery limits on the mass of the excited muons are 19.6 and 10.1 TeV for λ = mµ* and …


An Experimental Study On The Angular Dependence Of Coherent To Compton Scattering Differential Cross-Section Ratios Of Calcium, Tuba Akkuş Jan 2018

An Experimental Study On The Angular Dependence Of Coherent To Compton Scattering Differential Cross-Section Ratios Of Calcium, Tuba Akkuş

Turkish Journal of Physics

The coherent to Compton scattering cross-section ratio of calcium was measured experimentally for several polar scattering angles (90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, and 130°) and azimuthal scattering angles (30°, 20°, 10°, 0°, -10°, and -20°). A high purity germanium semiconductor detector with a resolution of 199.6 eV at 5.9 keV was used. The theoretical values of the coherent to Compton scattering differential cross-section of calcium were calculated on the basis of nonrelativistic form factors, relativistic form factors, and S-matrix theories. It was observed that the experimental results were most compatible with the nonrelativistic form factor theory.

Effects Of Annealing Temperature On Electrical Characteristics Of Sputtered Al/Al2o3/P-Si (Mos) Capacitors, Şenol Kaya, Erhan Budak, Ercan Yilmaz

Turkish Journal of Physics

The aim of this study is to investigate annealing effects on the electrical characteristics of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) MOS capacitors. Chemical changes after annealing have been characterized using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy prior to detailed electrical investigation. The influence of annealing temperature on electrical characteristics has been investigated by capacitance-voltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G/ω-V) curves. Effective oxide trap density (Nox), border trap densities (N2bt), and interface trap densities (Nit) were calculated during the electrical analysis. Remarkable changes in the measurements were observed depending on the annealing temperatures. The obtained results demonstrate that the optimum annealing temperature is 450 °C …

Size Investigation Of Silicon Nanoclusters Deposited On Hopg Using Noncontact Atomic Force Microscopy, Mümi̇n Mehmet Koç

Turkish Journal of Physics

The sizes of silicon nanoparticles produced using two different novel methods are investigated in this report. The method of production used to generate silicon oxide nanoparticles was achieved via gas aggregation codeposition with water on a cold target, and also via a liquid jet method. The nanoparticles were drop-cast on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) substrate and assessed using ultrahigh vacuum atomic force microscopy (AFM). Noncontact constant force mode was used in the AFM investigations. The silicon nanoparticles produced using the gas aggregation and water codeposition method were found to be smaller than 2 nm. A degree of deviation …


Nature Of Entropy In A Scalar-Tensor Theory Of Gravity, Onur Siğinç, Mustafa Salti, Hi̇lmi̇ Yanar, Oktay Aydoğdu Jan 2018

Nature Of Entropy In A Scalar-Tensor Theory Of Gravity, Onur Siğinç, Mustafa Salti, Hi̇lmi̇ Yanar, Oktay Aydoğdu

Turkish Journal of Physics

This work is devoted to studying the generalized nature of the entropy function in a specific form of the scalar-tensor-vector (STeVe) theory of gravity for the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime in the state of thermal equilibrium. For this purpose, we define an equilibrium picture of thermodynamics by making use of a suitable set of the dark energy density and dark pressure descriptions, which defines an energy-momentum tensor obeying the local energy conservation law. Furthermore, we also discuss our results numerically in order to get additional implications.


Lattice Calculations For Two-Component Fermion Systems With Unequal Masses: Onedimension, Serdar Elhatisari Jan 2018

Lattice Calculations For Two-Component Fermion Systems With Unequal Masses: Onedimension, Serdar Elhatisari

Turkish Journal of Physics

We consider systems of two-component fermions with unequal masses and interacting via a short-range attractive potential. We discuss the case where the two-component fermions form a shallow dimer with large scattering length. The three-fermion and four-fermion systems with such properties are universal and characterized by the twofermion scattering length aff and the ratio of the mass of spin-↑ fermion to the mass of spin-↓ fermion, m↑/m↓. In this study, using lattice effective field theory, we analyze fermion-dimer and dimer-dimer systems and calculate the universal fermion-dimer and dimer-dimer scattering lengths for various values of the mass ratio m↑/m↓. We find that …


Lattice Modeling Of A Real Gas Revisited, Lisha Damodaran, Udayanandan Kandoth Murkoth Jan 2018

Lattice Modeling Of A Real Gas Revisited, Lisha Damodaran, Udayanandan Kandoth Murkoth

Turkish Journal of Physics

The spin-half Ising model has been used with remarkable success in describing magnetism and phase transition in magnetic materials. Likewise, the lattice gas model, which uses the spin-1 Ising model, was employed to investigate the phase transition in liquid-gas systems. In all the earlier lattice gas models, the kinetic energy of atoms occupying the various lattice sites were not considered for finding the equation of state. In this paper we use the Hamiltonian with kinetic energy and a modified equation of state is obtained. The isotherms of this model show the behavior of real gases at all pressures and they …


Isotopic Distribution In Projectile Fragments Above The Coulomb Barrier, Ayşegül Kaya, Ni̇hal Büyükçi̇zmeci̇, Riza Oğul Jan 2018

Isotopic Distribution In Projectile Fragments Above The Coulomb Barrier, Ayşegül Kaya, Ni̇hal Büyükçi̇zmeci̇, Riza Oğul

Turkish Journal of Physics

We have studied fragmentation properties of projectiles in peripheral heavy-ion collisions within a statistical ensemble approach. Distributions of projectile fragments are calculated for the reaction systems 86Kr on 58;64Ni and are compared to the experimental data for the same reactions at projectile energy of 15 MeV/nucleon. We assume that the projectile nuclei capture many neutrons from the targets as a result of the multinucleon transfer reactions (direct and fast reactions) at the first step of the dynamical stage of the collisions, and then the excited spectators are formed during the preequilibrium process (multistep reactions) long before the statistical equilibrium stage, …


Triple Higgs Boson Production In A Γγ-Collider At The Future Linear Collider, Nasuf Sönmez Jan 2018

Triple Higgs Boson Production In A Γγ-Collider At The Future Linear Collider, Nasuf Sönmez

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, triple Higgs boson production channels in a γγ-collider are investigated in the context of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM). This model has three neutral Higgs bosons (h0/H0/A0 ) and two charged Higgs bosons (H±). Between all the possible combinations of the triple Higgs bosons in the final state, only the following two scattering processes are probable at tree-level: γγ → H+H-h0 and γγ → H+H-H0. These two processes are important to determine the triple Higgs self-couplings gH+H-h0 and gH+H-H0 in the 2HDM. The calculation is carried out for two scenarios, which are inspired by recent experimental and theoretical …


The Field Blocking On The Interface With Nonlinear Response Between Nonlinearfocusing Media, Sergey Savotchenko Jan 2018

The Field Blocking On The Interface With Nonlinear Response Between Nonlinearfocusing Media, Sergey Savotchenko

Turkish Journal of Physics

We consider the nonlinear nonsymmetrical spatially distributed excitations near the thin layer with nonlinear properties separated with two media with Kerr-type focusing (positive) nonlinearity. We use the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonlinear potential containing two parameters to describe the new types of nonlinear stationary states. The problem is reduced to the solution of nonlinear Schrödinger equations on half spaces with the nonlinear boundary conditions at the interface plane. We obtain and analyze the two types of nonlinear excitations describing the effect of the field blocking passing through the interface into one half-space from another one. The field blocking effect is …


Multiple-Line Study Of Molecular Gas In Spiral Galaxy Ngc 2903, Selçuk Topal Jan 2018

Multiple-Line Study Of Molecular Gas In Spiral Galaxy Ngc 2903, Selçuk Topal

Turkish Journal of Physics

Multiple molecular lines with radiative transfer modeling are a powerful tool to probe the physics of starforming gas in galaxies. We investigate the gas properties in the center of spiral galaxy NGC 2903 using low-J CO lines, i.e. 12CO(1-0), 12CO(2-1), 12CO(3-2), 13CO(1-0), and HCN(1-0). We apply a nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium radiative transfer code to derive beam-averaged molecular gas properties. We use two methods (i.e. X2 minimization and likelihood) to define the best model representing the observed line ratios best. The line ratio diagnostics suggest that CO gas in the center of NGC 2903 is thinner and the dense gas fraction …

A Phenomenological Calculation For W+W- Diboson Production For The Largehadron Collider And Future Circular Collider, Kamuran Di̇lsi̇z, Hasan Oğul

Turkish Journal of Physics

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has been designed to collide beams of protons at 7, 8, 13, and 14 TeV center-of-mass energies and a new hadron collider called the Future Circular Collider (FCC), which is larger and more energetic than the LHC, is being planned for the near future. The maximum planned energy for FCC is 100 TeV center-of-mass energy. In this regard, we present the leading order and next-to-leading order cross-section predictions of two simultaneously produced opposite-sign W bosons at 7, 8, 13, 14, and 100 TeV center-of-mass energies by using the MCFM MC generator. The results …

A Noninvasive Time-Frequency-Based Approach To Estimate Cuffless Arterial Blood Pressure, Ömer Faruk Ertuğrul, Necmetti̇n Sezgi̇n Jan 2018

A Noninvasive Time-Frequency-Based Approach To Estimate Cuffless Arterial Blood Pressure, Ömer Faruk Ertuğrul, Necmetti̇n Sezgi̇n

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Arterial blood pressure (ABP) is one of the most vital signs in the prophylaxis and treatment of blood pressure-related diseases because raised blood pressure is the most significant cause of death and the second major cause of disability in the world. Higher ABP yields greater strain on arteries and these extra strains turn arteries into thicker, less flexible, and more narrow structures. This increases the possibility of having an artery busting or artery occlusion, which are the primary reasons for heart attacks, kidney disease, or strokes. In addition to its importance in monitoring cardiovascular homeostasis, measurement of ABP is imperative …

Human sleep is one of the essential indicators that gauge the overall health and well-being. Presently, it is common for people to face issues related to sleep. Various biomedical signals including electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculography (EMG), and electrooculography (EOG) are utilized in the diagnosis and during the treatment of sleep disorder cases. An automatic classification to diagnose sleep problems can help in the analysis of sleep EEG data. In this current study, an effort is made to classify the sleep stages from a single EEG channel (C4-A1) based on K-nearest neighbors (K-NN) with three alternative distance metrics. The Euclidean distance is …

Various metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been proposed and they have been applied to problems in different fields. This paper proposes a novel optimization method based on a modified version of the Golden Sine Algorithm for solving unconstrained, constrained, and engineering problems. The basic idea behind the proposed modified Golden Sine Algorithm (GoldSA-II) depends on finding the optimum solution field in search space by using the decreasing pattern of the sine function and the golden ratio. The performance …

Integral Laminations On Nonorientable Surfaces, S. Öykü Yurttaş, Mehmetci̇k Pamuk

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We describe triangle coordinates for integral laminations on a nonorientable surface $N_{k,n}$ of genus $k$ with $n$ punctures and one boundary component, and we give an explicit bijection from the set of integral laminations on $N_{k,n}$ to $(\mathbb{Z}^{2(n+k-2)}\times \mathbb{Z}^k)\setminus \left\{0\right\}$.


On $H$-Antimagicness Of Cartesian Product Of Graphs, Martin Baca, Andrea Semanicova-Fenovcikova, Muhammad Awais Umar, Des Welyyanti Jan 2018

On $H$-Antimagicness Of Cartesian Product Of Graphs, Martin Baca, Andrea Semanicova-Fenovcikova, Muhammad Awais Umar, Des Welyyanti

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

A graph $G=(V(G),E(G))$ admits an $H$-covering if every edge in $E$ belongs to a~subgraph of $G$ isomorphic to $H$. A graph $G$ admitting an $H$-covering is called {\it $(a,d)$-$H$-antimagic} if there is a bijection $f:V(G)\cup E(G) \to \{1,2,\dots, V(G) + E(G) \}$ such that, for all subgraphs $H'$ of $G$ isomorphic to $H$, the $H$-weights, $wt_f(H')= \sum_{v\in V(H')} f(v) + \sum_{e\in E(H')} f(e),$ constitute an arithmetic progression with the initial term $a$ and the common difference $d$. In this paper we provide some sufficient conditions for the Cartesian product of graphs to be $H$-antimagic. We use partitions subsets of integers …

The purpose of this paper is to prove some of his theta-function identities of level 10 and to establish certain partition identities for them.


Stability Of Abstract Dynamic Equations On Time Scales By Lyapunov's Second Method, Alaa Hamza, Karima Oraby Jan 2018

Stability Of Abstract Dynamic Equations On Time Scales By Lyapunov's Second Method, Alaa Hamza, Karima Oraby

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we use the Lyapunov's second method to obtain new sufficient conditions for many types of stability like exponential stability, uniform exponential stability, $h$-stability, and uniform $h$-stability of the nonlinear dynamic equation \begin{equation*} x^{\Delta}(t)=A(t)x(t)+f(t,x),\;t\in \mathbb{T}^+_\tau:=[\tau,\infty)_{\mathbb T}, \end{equation*} on a time scale $\mathbb T$, where $A\in C_{rd}(\mathbb T,L(X))$ and $f:\mathbb T\times X\to X$ is rd-continuous in the first argument with $f(t,0)=0.$ Here $X$ is a Banach space. We also establish sufficient conditions for the nonhomogeneous particular dynamic equation \begin{equation*} x^{\Delta}(t)=A(t)x(t)+f(t),\,t\in\mathbb{T}^+_{\tau}, \end{equation*} to be uniformly exponentially stable or uniformly $h$-stable, where $f\in C_{rd}(\mathbb T,X)$, the space of rd-continuous functions from …
