Shortterm Optical Variability Of 4c 29.45, Aykut Özdönmez Jan 2023

Shortterm Optical Variability Of 4c 29.45, Aykut Özdönmez

Turkish Journal of Physics

We observed the flat-spectrum radio quasar 4C 29.45 in the BVRI optical bands for 39 nights from February 2022 to July 2022 with the T60 telescope at TÜBİTAK National Observatory (TUG) in Turkey. In this study, we aimed to study flux, color, and spectral variability on short timescales. The object was in an active (bright) phase with an average optical R-band brightness of 14.7 mag and was variable in the BVRI bands throughout the monitoring period. We analyzed the flux variability during our observation period, and the variability amplitudes in V, R, and I bands were determined to be 220%, …

Gold Thin-Film Based Narrow-Band Perfect Absorbers For Near-Ir Frequencies, Serap Aksu Jan 2023

Gold Thin-Film Based Narrow-Band Perfect Absorbers For Near-Ir Frequencies, Serap Aksu

Turkish Journal of Physics

Perfect absorbers have received significant attention due to their tunable and extraordinary absorptive behaviour of light at selected wavelenghts. Such absorption can be achieved by the means of nanostructured materials with various types of flexibility. Despite these advantages nanofabrication is a challenging process. In this study, we manufacture and characterize a gold thin-film based ultra narrow-band perfects absorber that does not require nanostructures for full absorption of the incident light. Perfect absorption is based on Fabry-Perot interference created using a metal-insulator-metal triple layer. The fabrication involves precise deposition of a gold film (35 nm) and silicon nitride dielectric film (110-170 …

Generalization Of Statistical Limit-Cluster Points And The Concepts Of Statistical Limit Inferior-Superior On Time Scales By Using Regular Integral Transformations, Ceylan Yalçin

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

With the aid of regular integral operators, we will be able to generalize statistical limit-cluster points and statistical limit inferior-superior ideas on time scales in this work. These two topics, which have previously been researched separately from one another sometimes only in the discrete case and other times in the continuous case, will be studied at in a single study. We will investigate the relations of these concepts with each other and come to a number of new conclusions. On some well-known time scales, we shall analyze these ideas using examples.


A Note On $Ss$-Supplement Submodules, Emi̇ne Önal Kir Jan 2023

A Note On $Ss$-Supplement Submodules, Emi̇ne Önal Kir

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we describe $ss$-supplement submodules in terms of a special class of endomorphisms. Let $R$ be a ring with semisimple radical and $P$ be a projective $R-$module. We show that there is a bijection between ss-supplement submodules of $P$ and ss-supplement submodules of $End_{R}(P)$. Moreover, we define radical-s-projective modules as a generalization of projective modules. We prove that every $ss$-supplement submodule of a projective $R-$module is radical-s-projective over the ring $R$ with semisimple radical. We show that over $SSI$-ring $R$, every radical-s-projective $R-$module is projective. We provide that over a ring $R$ with semisimple radical, every $ss$-supplement submodule …

On Solvability Of Homogeneous Riemann Boundary Value Problems In Hardy-Orlicz Classes, Yusuf Zeren, Fi̇dan A. Ali̇zadeh, Feyza Eli̇f Dal

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This work deals with the Orlicz space and the Hardy-Orlicz classes generated by this space, which consist of analytic functions inside and outside the unit disk. The homogeneous Riemann boundary value problems with piecewise continuous coefficients are considered in these classes. New characteristic of Orlicz space is defined which depends on whether the power function belongs to this space or not. Relationship between this characteristic and Boyd indices of Orlicz space is established. The concept of canonical solution of homogeneous problem is defined, which depends on the argument of the coefficient. In terms of the above characteristic, a condition on …


Contiguity Distance Between Simplicial Maps, Ayşe Borat, Mehmetci̇k Pamuk, Tane Vergi̇li̇ Jan 2023

Contiguity Distance Between Simplicial Maps, Ayşe Borat, Mehmetci̇k Pamuk, Tane Vergi̇li̇

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

For simplicial complexes and simplicial maps, the notion of being in the same contiguity class is defined as the discrete version of homotopy. In this paper, we study the contiguity distance, $SD$, between two simplicial maps adapted from the homotopic distance. In particular, we show that simplicial versions of $LS$-category and topological complexity are particular cases of this more general notion. Moreover, we present the behaviour of $SD$ under the barycentric subdivision, and its relation with strong collapsibility of a simplicial complex.


Boundedness Of Bergman Projections Acting On Weighted Mixed Norm Spaces, Ivana Savkovic Jan 2023

Boundedness Of Bergman Projections Acting On Weighted Mixed Norm Spaces, Ivana Savkovic

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

We prove that Bergman projections on weighted mixed norm spaces on smoothly bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are bounded for a certain range of parameters of such spaces and assuming certain conditions on weights. The proof relies on estimates of integral means of $M_p(P_\gamma f, r)$ in terms of integral means of $f$. This result complements earlier result on boundedness of $P_\gamma$ on a closely related space $L^{p,q}_\alpha(\Omega).$

On Generalized Darboux Frame Of A Spacelike Curve Lying On A Lightlike Surface In Minkowski Space $\Mathbb{E}^{3}_{1}$, Jelena Djordjevic, Emilija Nesovic, Ufuk Öztürk

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper we introduce generalized Darboux frame of a spacelike curve $\alpha$ lying on a lightlike surface in Minkowski space $\mathbb{E}_{1}^{3}$. We prove that $\alpha$ has two such frames and obtain generalized Darboux frame's equations. We find the relations between the curvature functions $k_g$, $k_n$, $\tau_g$ of $\alpha$ with respect to its Darboux frame and the curvature functions $\tilde{k}_{g}$, $\tilde{k}_{n}$, $\tilde{\tau}_{g}$ with respect to generalized Darboux frames. We show that such frames exist along a spacelike straight line lying on a ruled surface which is not entirely lightlike, but contains some lightlike points. We define lightlike ruled surfaces on …

Novel Results On Trapezoid-Type Inequalities For Conformable Fractional Integrals, Fati̇h Hezenci̇, Hüseyi̇n Budak

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

This paper establishes an identity for the case of differentiable $s-$convex functions with respect to the conformable fractional integrals. By using this identity, sundry trapezoid-type inequalities are proven by $s-$convex functions with the help of the conformable fractional integrals. Several important inequalities are acquired with taking advantage of the convexity, the Hölder inequality, and the power mean inequality. Moreover, an example using graph is given in order to show that our main results are correct. By using the special choices of the obtained results, we present several new results connected with trapezoid-type inequalities.

Copper-Catalyzed Reactions Of Β-Alkoxy/Phenoxy Enones With Dimethyl Diazomalonate, Füsun Şeyma Kişkan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

2,3-dihydrofurans were synthesized from carbonyl-ylides via 1,5-electrocyclization reactions with high yields. Dimethyl diazomalonate was reacted with several β-alkoxy and/or β-phenoxy α,β-unsaturated compounds in the presence of Cu(acac)$_{2}$ as a catalyst. From the reaction of β-methoxy enone with diazo compound, dioxole, and Cα-H insertion products were also obtained as side products along with 2,3-dihydrofuran derivative. When the unsaturated compound has an ester and a ketone group, only one dihydrofuran derivative was formed, which occurred by the 1,5-ring closure of keto-carbonyl ylide. Dihydrofuran derivative from the formation of ester carbonyl ylide in the reactions was not obtained.

Collagen type I is the main structural unit in skin tissue and is therefore used preferentially in skin tissue scaffolds. However, collagen-based 3D scaffolds have weak aqueous stability and degradation profiles in their uncross-linked states and chemical cross-linking reagents arise toxicity concerns, which generally restrict the spectrum of their biomedical applicability. Here, the research goal is to photochemically cross-link collagen type I with rose bengal (RB) when subjected to green laser light and to investigate the effect of silk sericin-capped gold nanoparticles (S-AuNP) when incorporated into scaffolds on the cross-linking process and thus on the scaffold properties. All the collagen …
