Verimli bir kongre geçirmemiz dileğiyle... Saygılarımla, Öğr. Gör. Dr. Hatice YILMAZ ALAN Ankara Üniversitesi TFD–37 Düzenleme Kurulu Başkanı IV Dear Participants of the 37th Turkish Physical Society International Physics Congress, The annual international physics congress of the Turkish Physical Society is being organized during this second year of the pandemic. This is perhaps one of the most extraordinary periods where almost all standards of daily life has been under a big change. It is worth mentioning that despite all the changes, the invariant concept that effects everybody has been science itself. These challenging times have given all societies worldwide the opportunity to better realize the value of science and the importance of scientific thinking. My personal will is of course to see the pandemic end as soon as possible, but at the same time, to see that the appreciation to science and scientists continue at an increasing pace. This is especially crucial for our field as a fundamental science not only because we try to resolve mysteries of nature but also because physics provides the basis to all applied and engineering sciences. Founded in 1950, the Turkish Physical Society (TPS) represents the vast majority of Turkish academics, researchers and graduate students in physics. Among the various scientific and educational activities of TPS, the International Physics Congress series is the largest annual organization of its kind in Turkey, covering essentially most sub and allied fields of physics. The high standards of this congress could only be achieved through the vision and guidance of high quality physicists, reflecting their experience to V assure the correct roadmap and content of the event; hence, the composition of the Scientific Committee of TPS-37 played a crucial role. I am grateful to the members of the Scientific Committee for being part of this effort and establishing the high standards. The plenary part of the scientific program of the congress includes more than 30 invited talks from pioneering physicists in their field of research. During the opening ceremony, we will also be holding an important panel on “Accelerator Technologies for the Mankind”. The aim of this panel is to discuss the need and the use of particle accelerators in a wide spectrum from fundamental research to applied science and to daily life as generic and advanced technologies. The congress will be hosting more than 200 oral presentations to be held in parallel sessions and about 60 posters presentations. I would like to thank once again all invited speakers, panelists, participants and members of the Scientific Committee for making TPS-37 a big success. Prof. Dr. Serkant Ali Çetin İstinye University TPS-37 Scientific Committee Chair VI Değerli Fizikçiler, 19. Yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren bilimsel keşifler akıl almaz hızda gelişim göstermektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda fizik alanında her gün belki de her saat yeni teoriler, gözlemler veya buluşlar ortaya çıkarılmaktadır. Bilimsel süreçlerdeki bu hızlı değişimleri takip etmek, daha doğrusu bu gelişmelerin bizatihi içerisinde yer almak bireysel çalışmadan ziyade kolektif çalışmayı gerektirmektedir. Bu amaçla 1950 yılında kurulan Türk Fizik Derneği düzenlediği konferanslarla yurt içinde ve dışında çalışan bilim insanlarını, özellikle fizikçileri bir araya getirerek onların fizik alanındaki en son gelişmeleri tartışmalarını sağlamak ve birlikte çalışma bilincini oluşturmak için büyük çaba sarf etmektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda ülkelerin savunma sanayi ve sağlık başta olmak üzere bilimsel bilgiyi paylaşmada oldukça tutucu davrandıklarına hepimiz şahit olmaktayız. Millet olarak gelişmiş ülkeler arasında yer almak için kritik teknolojilere sahip olmamız gerekir. Şüphesiz bunun başlıca yolu temel bilimlere ve özellikle fiziğe önem verilmesinden geçmektedir. Maalesef son yıllarda ülkemizde lisans düzeyinde fizik eğitimi can çekişmektedir. Fizik alanındaki bu olumsuz durumun başta mühendislik olmak üzere diğer bilim alanlarına da yansıması giderek hissedilmektedir. Bu nedenle, ülkemizde fizik alanında yapılan bilimsel araştırmalar, bunların bilim insanları arasında tartışılması ve ortak çalışma ortamlarının oluşturulması oldukça önemlidir. VII Türk Fizik Derneği tarafından gerçekleştirilen bu kongre; fizik alanındaki son gelişmelerin tartışılmasını, bilimsel paylaşımlar ve ortak çalışmalar için iş birliği ortamı oluşturmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu nedenle, fizik kongrelerinin gerçekleştirilmesinde yoğun çaba sarf eden TFD başkanı Prof. Dr. Baki Akkuş’a, 37. Fizik Kongresinin bütün kurullarında ve Yerel Organizasyon Komitesinde yer alan hocalarımıza, ayrıca davetli konuşmacı olarak veya bildiri sunarak katılan bütün bilim insanlarımıza teşekkürlerimizi sunarız. Prof. Dr. Fahrettin GÖKTAŞ Fırat Üniversitesi Rektörü TFD-37 Danışma Kurulu Başkanı VIII Değerli Fizikçiler; Türk Fizik Derneği Uluslararası Fizik Kongresi, fizik bilimi alanındaki güncel bilimsel çalışmaları sunabilen, bu sayede yüksek katılımlı bir kongrede iş birliklerinin doğmasına sebep olan, sektörel uygulamalar ve araştırmalarla ilgili güncel bilgileri de edinebilmek gibi amaçlar doğrultusunda yerli ve yabancı tüm akademisyenleri ve lisans/lisansüstü öğrencileri bir araya getirerek bilimsel niteliği yüksek büyük bir platform sunan en önemli uluslararası etkinliklerin başında gelmektedir. Türk Fizik Derneğimiz tarafından her yıl düzenlenen yüksek katılımcı sayısına sahip Türk Fizik Derneği Uluslararası Fizik Kongresi bilimsel toplantısının 37.’si bu yıl, devam eden korona virüs salgını nedeniyle 01- 05 Eylül 2021 tarihleri arasında Bodrum Herodot Kültür Merkezi’nde hem yüz yüze hem de online olarak ZOOM uygulaması üzerinden gerçekleştirilecektir. Umuyoruz ki korona virüs salgını yapılan aşılarla tehdit olmaktan çıkar ve önümüzdeki yıllarda Türk Fizik Derneği Kongrelerimizi yüz yüze katılımla yapabiliriz. Her yıl Türk Fizik Derneği tarafından verilen ödüller Bodrum Herodot Kültür Merkezi’nde 1 Eylül 2021 tarihinde saat 09:00 da yapılacak olan Açılış Töreni içerisinde ödül sahiplerinin IX katılımıyla takdim edilecektir.

It is a survey type study of quantitative research methods. The population of the study consists of students from a state university in Turkey. The sample consists of 700 students determined by stratified sampling method. In the study, as data collection tools, English language anxiety scale and English language attitude scale were used. In this study, it was concluded that students with preparatory education had less anxiety scores than the students without preparatory education. It was found that freshman students feel less anxious about English lessons than junior and senior students. It was also found that females’ attitude scores towards English were higher than males’ and freshman students have higher attitude scores towards English lesson. © 2018 JLLS and the Authors - Published by JLLS.

  • Simulation Studies of the Mechanisms of Interaction Between Carbon Nanotubes and Amino Acids
    Simulation Studies of the Mechanisms of Interaction between Carbon Nanotubes and Amino Acids by George Bassem Botros Abadir B.Sc., Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, 2000 M.Sc., Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Electrical and Computer Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 c George Bassem Botros Abadir 2010 Abstract In this thesis, molecular dynamics and ab initio density functional theory/non- equilibrium Green’s function simulations are used to study the interaction between carbon nanotubes and amino acids. Firstly, rules for the proper choice of the parameters used in these simulations are established. It is demonstrated how the improper choice of these parameters (particularly the basis set used in ab initio simulations) can lead to quantitatively and qualitatively erroneous conclusions regarding the bandgap of the nanotubes. It is then shown that the major forces responsible for amino-acid adsorp- tion on carbon nanotubes are van der Waals forces, and that hydrophobic interactions may accelerate the adsorption process, but are not necessary for it to occur. The mechanisms of interaction between carbon nanotubes and amino acids are elucidated. It is found that geometrical deformations do not play a major role in the sensing process, and that electrostatic inter- actions represent the major interaction mechanism between the tubes and amino acids. Fully metallic armchair tubes are found to be insensitive to various amino acids, while small-radius nanotubes are shown to be inade- quate for sensing in aqueous media, as their response to the motion of the atoms resulting from the immersion in water is comparable to that of an- alyte adsorption.
