Multidimensional quantum tunnelling formulation of oxygen-16 and uranium-238 reaction
Ataol, Murat Tamer; Yılmaz, Osman; Department of Physics (2004)
Multidimensional quantum tunnelling is an important tool that is used in many areas of physics and chemistry. Sub-barrier fusion reactions of heavy-ions are governed by quantum tunnelling. However, the complexity of the structures of heavy-ions does not allow us to use simple one-dimensional tunnelling equations to and the tunnelling probabilities. Instead of this one should consider all the degrees of freedom which affect the phenomenon and accordingly the intrinsic structure or the deformation of the nucl...

A grounded theory of school as a social system in an atypical context
Zeybekoğlu Çalışkan, Zuhal; Kondakçı, Yaşar; Şimşek, Hasan; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
This is a grounded theory study of school as a social system in an atypical context. It was the aim of this study to develope context-specific theoretical propositions to understand how a school as a social system looks like in an atypical context, which is characterized by ethnic group, migrated groups of low socio-economic status and low-level education. A public school that shows these characteristics was chosen for the study. The school is mostly populated by students coming from Roman community and mig...
Super symmetric quantum mechanics applications on some diatomic potentials
Kaya, Murat; Sever, Ramazan; Department of Physics (2015)
One dimensional molecular potentials are studied by solving the Schrödinger Equation for some well known potentials, such as the deformed Morse, Eckart and the Hua potentials. Parametric generalization of Hamiltonian Hierarchy is introduced. Nikiforov-Uvarov method and SUSYQM with Hamiltonian Hierarchy method is used in the calculations to get energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions exactly.
A coherentist approach to the justification of scientific theories
Kamözüt, Mehmet Cem; Sayan, Erdinç; Department of Philosophy (2008)
Philosophers of science have long realized that it is not possible to decide which scientific theory is true just by relying on their empirical adequacy. That theories should possess other virtues in order to be accepted by the scientific community is well understood. Nevertheless, empirical adequacy remained as having a privileged value among these virtues. In this thesis I argue that scientific theories are accepted or rejected on the bases of an evaluation of their degree of coherence. In such a coherent...
