Morphism Classes Producing (Weak) Grothendieck Topologies, (Weak) Lawvere--Tierney Topologies, And Universal Closure Operations, Seyed Naser Hosseini, Mehdi Nodehi Jan 2013

Morphism Classes Producing (Weak) Grothendieck Topologies, (Weak) Lawvere--Tierney Topologies, And Universal Closure Operations, Seyed Naser Hosseini, Mehdi Nodehi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this article, given a category X, with \Omega the subobject classifier in Set^{X^{op}, we set up a one-to-one correspondence between certain (i) classes of X-morphisms, (ii) \Omega-subpresheaves, (iii) \Omega-automorphisms, and (iv) universal operators. As a result we give necessary and sufficient conditions on a morphism class so that the associated (i) \Omega-subpresheaf is a (weak) Grothendieck topology, (ii) \Omega-automorphism is a (weak) Lawvere--Tierney topology, and (iii) universal operation is an (idempotent) universal closure operation. We also finally give several examples of morphism classes yielding (weak) Grothendieck topologies, (weak) Lawvere--Tierney topologies, and (idempotent) universal closure operations.

Complete Cotorsion Pairs In The Category Of Complexes, Zhanping Wang, Zhongkui Liu Jan 2013

Complete Cotorsion Pairs In The Category Of Complexes, Zhanping Wang, Zhongkui Liu

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we study completeness of cotorsion pairs in the category of complexes of R-modules. Let (A, B) be a cotorsion pair in R-Mod. It is shown that the cotorsion pair (\widetilde{A}, dg\widetilde{B}) and (\overline{A}, \overline{A}^{\perp}) are complete if A is closed under pure submodules and cokernels of pure monomorphisms, where in Gillespie's definitions \widetilde{A} is the class of exact complexes with cycles in A and dg\widetilde{B} is the class of complexes X with components in B such that the complex Hom(A, X) is exact for every complex A \in \widetilde{A}; and \overline{A} is the class of all complexes …


Slant Submersions From Almost Product Riemannian Manifolds, Yilmaz Gündüzalp Jan 2013

Slant Submersions From Almost Product Riemannian Manifolds, Yilmaz Gündüzalp

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

In this paper, we define the concept of almost product Riemannian submersion between almost product Riemannian manifolds. We introduce slant submersions from almost product Riemannian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We give examples and investigate the geometry of foliations that arise from the definition of a Riemannian submersion. We also find necessary and sufficient conditions for a slant submersion to be totally geodesic.

On The Pollard Decomposition Method Applied To Some Jacobi--Sobolev Expansions, Francisco Marcellán, Yamilet Quintana, Alejandro Urieles

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let {q_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}}_{n \geq 0} be the sequence of polynomials orthonormal with respect to the Sobolev inner product \langle f,g\rangle_S:=\int_{-1}^1f(x)g(x)w^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)dx+\int_{-1}^1f'(x)g'(x)w^{(\alpha+1,\beta+1)}(x)dx, where w^{(\alpha,\beta)}(x)=(1-x)^{\alpha}(1+x)^{\beta}, x\in [-1,1] and \alpha,\beta>-1. This paper explores the convergence in the W^{1,p}\left((-1,1), (w^{(\alpha,\beta)},w^{(\alpha+1,\beta+1)})\right) norm of the Fourier expansion in terms of {q_n^{(\alpha,\beta)}}_{n\geq 0} with 1< p


Colombeau Solutions Of A Nonlinear Stochastic Predator--Prey Equation, Uluğ Çapar Jan 2013

Colombeau Solutions Of A Nonlinear Stochastic Predator--Prey Equation, Uluğ Çapar

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

The solution of a random semilinear hyperbolic system with singular initial data is sought as a random Colombeau distribution. The product of 2 additive white noises is well tackled within the theory of random Colombeau distributions. In the special case of a random predator--prey system, the exact Colombeau solution is obtained under some assumptions when the process is driven by doubly reflected Brownian motions.


Some Results On Cyclic Codes Over The Ring R_{2,M}, Reza Sobhani, Maryam Molakarimi Jan 2013

Some Results On Cyclic Codes Over The Ring R_{2,M}, Reza Sobhani, Maryam Molakarimi

Turkish Journal of Mathematics

Let R_{k,m} be the ring F_{2^m}[u_1,u_2,...,u_k]/\gen u_i^2, u_iu_j-u_ju_i. In this paper, cyclic codes of arbitrary length n over the ring R_{2,m} are completely characterized in terms of unique generators and a way for determination of these generators is investigated. A F_{2^m}-basis for these codes is also derived from this representation. Moreover, it is proven that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between cyclic codes of length 2n, n odd, over the ring R_{k-1,m} and cyclic codes of length n over the ring R_{k,m}. By determining the complete structure of cyclic codes of length 2 over R_{2,m}, a mass formula for the …


Symmetry And The Order Of Events In Time: Description Of A Reversible Thermal Energy Converter Composed Of Negative Mass, Randy Wayne Jan 2013

Symmetry And The Order Of Events In Time: Description Of A Reversible Thermal Energy Converter Composed Of Negative Mass, Randy Wayne

Turkish Journal of Physics

In a previous paper [1], we analyzed the sequence of events that occurs in the time domain of a reversible cyclical thermal energy converter using the Gibbs equation and showed that even when there is no net change of entropy there is an asymmetrical order of quasi-static states along the time axis, when thermal energy is converted into mechanical pressure-volume work. The spontaneous evolution towards an equilibrium state, which is characterized by the unidirectional transport of entropy from the hot reservoir to the cold reservoir, is coincident with this asymmetrical order of events. In this paper, we \"mend\" the above …

Thermodynamic Properties Of The Noncommutative Black Hole In (Z = 3)-Horava-Lifshitz Gravity, Mourad Nach, Khadija Bilal, My Brahim Sedra, Abderrahman El Boukili

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this work, we investigate the effects of noncommutative spaces on the Horava-Lifshitz black hole. We construct the black hole solutions in the noncommutative space of (z = 3)-Horava-Lifshitz gravity. We calculate the horizon and the thermodynamic properties such as the Hawking temperature, the ADM-Mass, and entropy, which reduce to their commutative limits when the noncommutativity parameter tends to zero.

Investigation Of Dominant States In The Collisions Of Ar Vii And Kr Xxiv With H_2 And He Targets, Abdel Aziz Habib, Alaa Abo Zalam, Hassan Ramadan Jan 2013

Investigation Of Dominant States In The Collisions Of Ar Vii And Kr Xxiv With H_2 And He Targets, Abdel Aziz Habib, Alaa Abo Zalam, Hassan Ramadan

Turkish Journal of Physics

In thermal plasma, the ion--atom collisions proceed most probably through resonance processes. One of the important processes is the resonant transfer excitation followed by emission of X-rays (RTEX), which causes self-cooling for plasma. In addition, it is identical to the dielectronic recombination (DR) in electron-ion collisions. The present work deals with the calculation of DR cross-sections (\sigma^{DR}s) and DR rate coefficients (\alpha^{DR}s) as well as RTEX cross-sections (\sigma^{RTEX}s) for Mg-like ions [Ar^{6+} and Kr^{24+}] with L-shell and K-shell excitation for \Deltan = 0 and \Delta n \neq 0. Comparison between the present results and other calculations for the rates are …


Study Of Zone Center Phonons In Wolframite Znwo_4, Ruby Jindal, Murari Mohan Sinha, Hem Chandra Gupta Jan 2013

Study Of Zone Center Phonons In Wolframite Znwo_4, Ruby Jindal, Murari Mohan Sinha, Hem Chandra Gupta

Turkish Journal of Physics

A short-range force constant model was applied to investigate the phonons in wolframite ZnWO_4 crystals in their monoclinic phase having space group P2/c and symmetry C_{2h}. The normal symmetry coordinates for the monoclinic wolframite were computed. The zone center phonons were calculated by using 8 stretching and 6 bending force constants. The calculated results are in very good agreement with the observed ones. The infrared frequencies were assigned for the first time. The potential energy distribution was also investigated for determining the significance of the contribution from each force constant toward the Raman and infrared wavenumbers.


A Simple Method To Extract The Parameters Of The Single-Diode Model Of A Pv System, Ahmed A. El Tayyan Jan 2013

A Simple Method To Extract The Parameters Of The Single-Diode Model Of A Pv System, Ahmed A. El Tayyan

Turkish Journal of Physics

This article suggests a simple method of modeling and simulation of photovoltaic systems. The main goal is to find the parameters (I_{ph}, I_o, R_s, R_{sh}, and a) of the single-diode model by adjusting the P-V curve and/or I-V curve at parameters provided by the manufacturer specification sheets (I_{sc}, V_{oc}, I_{mp}, and V_{mp}). An empirical model is incorporated into the single-diode model in order to remove its implicit nature and to ease the calculations. Calculations using this method can be extended to generate the I-V curves at temperatures and irradiances other than the standard test condition (STC)


Study Of Solid-State Stability Of The Zoto Binary System, Sandeep A. Waghuley Jan 2013

Study Of Solid-State Stability Of The Zoto Binary System, Sandeep A. Waghuley

Turkish Journal of Physics

The ZOTO binary system contains different compositions of zinc oxide (ZnO) and tin oxide (SnO_2). These are important semiconductors and have been intensively explored for various applications. SnO_2, ZnO, and different mole ratios (70:30, 40:60, 30:70, and 20:80 SnO_2:ZnO) of the ZOTO system were prepared through proper thermal treatment in powder form. The comparative solid-state stability was investigated using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). The stability study showed that the SnO_2 material absorbs much lower heat (Ea = -72.06 kJ/g mol) compared with ZnO and their compositions. Thus the SnO_2 material shows stability at near room temperature operation. The …

The aim of the work is to investigate the corrosion and evaluate proper oxygen content of injection for significant and effective reduction. To study the phenomena we calculated the diffusion coefficients, radial distribution functions and mean square displacement of iron, and also observed the micro-structure of iron before and after oxygen injection into coolant. The present calculation shows that a significant and effective reduction of corrosion can be achieved by injection of 7.68 \times 10^{-2}-1.55 \times 10^{-1} wt\% …


The Development Of A Novel Technique To Evaluate The Cr-39 Track Response To Alpha Particles, Khalil Ibrahim Mohammad, Muzahim Ibrahim Azawe Jan 2013

The Development Of A Novel Technique To Evaluate The Cr-39 Track Response To Alpha Particles, Khalil Ibrahim Mohammad, Muzahim Ibrahim Azawe

Turkish Journal of Physics

A novel technique is presented for the assessment of the track response of the detector CR-39 to alpha particles by photothermal deflection spectroscopy and image analysis. The 2 new techniques can be implemented to CR-39 as in situ measurements. The proposed techniques offer the possibility of monitoring nuclear radiation directly. Photothermal deflection is described to detect the change in the thermal and optical properties of the track nuclear detector CR-39 when irradiated to alpha particles. In situ image analysis of the photothermal deflection spot is presented to assess the detection of the CR-39 of any nuclear particle or radiation instantaneously.

A Different Point Of View: A Continuous Tracing Of Acid-Base Titration With Fiber-Optic Sensor, Şerafetti̇n Yaltkaya, Esra Kendi̇r

Turkish Journal of Physics

Our main aim was to investigate variations in the refractive index of a solution during chemical reaction. The variation of refractive index was measured through the entire acid--base titration process, especially near the equivalence point. To determine the equivalence point, the conductivity of the solution and the refractive index were measured simultaneously. In this preliminary study, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid were used as the base and the acid solution, respectively. To measure the refractive index variation, a fiber-optic refractive index sensor was designed. The fiber-optic probe was dipped into the solution and acted as a refractive index sensor according …

Development And Utilization Of A Retarding Analyzer For Field Emission Investigation Of Lab_6/W Emitter, Ahmed Abdurrahman Ahmed Al-Tabbakh, Mahendra A. More, Dilip S. Joag

Turkish Journal of Physics

A cold field emission from LaB_6/W-coated cathodes has been investigated with a high-accuracy and low-cost retarding field analyzer instrument. Guidelines are provided for measurements of Fowler-Nordheim (FN) characteristics and total energy distributions using a single set-up and direct detection technique to address presumed shortages in sophisticated instrumental requirements for integral investigation. Electron emission from LaB_6 nanoprotrusions, deposited on a tungsten microtip, was successfully investigated. Results emphasize a metallic behavior of the emitter in accordance with the FN theory. No size effects were observed for protrusions of 300 nm in radii.

Defect Studies In Strain-Relaxed Si_{1-X}Ge_X Alloys, Şeref Kalem Jan 2013

Defect Studies In Strain-Relaxed Si_{1-X}Ge_X Alloys, Şeref Kalem

Turkish Journal of Physics

Raman light scattering, low-temperature photoluminescence, light-scattering tomography, and hydrogenation were used to investigate optical properties of defects in strain-relaxed Si_{1-x}Ge_x (0.05 \le x \le 0.50) alloys. The photoluminescence emission was characterized by typical zero-phonon, phonon-assisted, and dislocations-related emissions, which are dependent on Ge composition x. However, luminescence spectra exhibited above band-gap features, which are likely associated with the presence of Si-rich regions in the alloys. The results are correlated with light-scattering tomography, revealing the presence of dislocations and Si precipitates. The excess peak at 519 cm^{-1} in Ge-rich samples is supportive of this observation. At low Ge content, a dislocation-related …


Recombination Mechanisms In Hydrogenated Silicon Nanocrystalline Thin Films, Zaki M. Saleh, Salam M. Kmail, Samah F. Assaf, Atif F. Qasrawi Jan 2013

Recombination Mechanisms In Hydrogenated Silicon Nanocrystalline Thin Films, Zaki M. Saleh, Salam M. Kmail, Samah F. Assaf, Atif F. Qasrawi

Turkish Journal of Physics

The photoconductivity dependences on temperature and illumination intensity were investigated for thin films of hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) grown by very-high-frequency, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The nanocrystalline phase was achieved by heavy hydrogen dilution of silane (SiH_4). We find that the activation energy of the photoconductivity is sensitive to the incident illumination intensity for illumination intensities below 6 mW/cm^2. The photocurrent follows a power-law dependence on illumination intensity (I_{ph}\propto F^{gamma}), with gamma ranging from 0.36 to 0.83. The illumination dependence of the photocurrent suggests 2 different recombination mechanisms depending on temperature. In the lower temperature regime (300-340 K), recombination appears …


Synthesis And Optical Characterization Of Zn_{1-X}Mg_Xs: Eu Nanoparticles, Alexander Nwabueze Amah, Audu Onoja, Richard Akpagher Jan 2013

Synthesis And Optical Characterization Of Zn_{1-X}Mg_Xs: Eu Nanoparticles, Alexander Nwabueze Amah, Audu Onoja, Richard Akpagher

Turkish Journal of Physics

Zn_{1-x}Mg_xS: Eu^{3+} nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile co-precipitation technique with varying magnesium concentrations (0 =< x =< 0.20). X-ray diffraction results showed a mixture of cubic and hexagonal structures. There was an observed peak shift towards higher angles, decrease in peak intensities, disappearance of other peaks, and increase in diffraction peak broadening as Mg concentration increased. The estimated average particle sizes ranged from 2.0 nm to 8.79 nm. Scanning electron microscopy results showed smooth and uniform surface morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray studies indicated that the samples contained mainly Zn, S, and Eu because of the low detection limit for Mg. UV-Vis absorption spectrophotometer results showed a blue shift in energy due to quantum confinement as Mg concentration increased.


Effects Of The Different Types Of Nuclear Radiations On The Optically Stimulated Luminescence, Ayşe Güneş Tanir, Mustafa Hi̇cabi̇ Bölükdemi̇r, Tülay Neşe Kizilirmak Jan 2013

Effects Of The Different Types Of Nuclear Radiations On The Optically Stimulated Luminescence, Ayşe Güneş Tanir, Mustafa Hi̇cabi̇ Bölükdemi̇r, Tülay Neşe Kizilirmak

Turkish Journal of Physics

This study aims to investigate the effects of different nuclear radiation fields on an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dosimeter using Al_2O_3:C material. The Al_2O_3:C material was exposed to alpha- and beta-particles and gamma-photons, and the luminescence signals were measured by stimulation with a blue light emitting diode. It is concluded that the OSL technique is suitable for obtaining an adequate blue light stimulated luminescence signal in alpha, beta, and gamma radiation fields, and if the source activity was low, the statistical distributions were large.
