Today, most of necessary equipment in a physics laboratory are available for smartphone users via applications. Physics teachers may measure from acceleration to sound volume with its internal sensors. These sensors collect data and smartphone applications make the raw data visible. Teachers who do not have well-equipped laboratories at their schools may have an opportunity to conduct experiments with the help of smart phones. In this study, we analyzed possible open source physics education applications in terms of blind users in inclusive learning environments. All apps are categorized as partially, full or non-supported. The roles of blind learner's friend during the application are categorized as reader, describer or user. Mentioned apps in the study are compared with additional opportunities like size and downloading rates. Out of using apps we may also get information about whether via internet and some other extra information for different experiments in physics lab. Q-codes reading or augmented reality are two other opportunity provided by smart phones for users in physics labs. We also summarized blind learner's smartphone experiences from literature and listed some suggestions for application designers about concepts in physics.

Fully Integrated Ultra-Low Voltage Step-up Converter with Voltage Doubling LC-Tank for Energy Harvesting Applications
Jayaweera, H. M. P. C.; Pathirana, W. P. M. R.; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2015-12-04)
This paper reports the design, fabrication, and validation of a novel integrated interface circuit for ultra-low voltage step up converter in 0.18 mu m CMOS technology. The circuit does not use off-chip components. Fully integrated centre-tap differential inductors are introduced in the proposed LC oscillator design to achieve 38% area reduction compared to the use of four separate inductors. The efficiency of the system is hence enhanced through the elimination of clock buffer circuits traditionally utiliz...
Model Based Optimization of Integrated Low Voltage DC-DC Converter for Energy Harvesting Applications
Jayaweera, H. M. P. C.; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2016-12-09)
A novel model based methodology is presented to determine optimal device parameters for the fully integrated ultra low voltage DC-DC converter for energy harvesting applications. The proposed model feasibly contributes to determine the maximum efficient number of charge pump stages to fulfill the voltage requirement of the energy harvester application. The proposed DC-DC converter based power consumption model enables the analytical derivation of the charge pump efficiency when utilized simultaneously with ...
Study of tau neutrino production at the CERN SPS
Güler, Ali Murat (2019-01-01)
At the CERN SPS, the DsTau project has been proposed to study tau-neutrino production aiming at providing important information for future v, measurements. Precise measurement of the v, cross section would enable a search for new physics effects in v, charged current interactions. It also has practical implications for neutrino oscillation experiments. The dominant source of v, is the sequential decay of Ds mesons produced by proton interactions, whose uncertainty dominates current uncertainty in the v, cro...
Effect of CNTs dispersion on electrical, mechanical and strain sensing properties of CNT/epoxy nanocomposites
Tanabi, Hamed; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve (Elsevier BV, 2019-03-01)
The remarkable electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) render CNT-reinforced nanocomposites as potentially attractive materials for strain-sensing and monitoring purposes. The dispersion state of CNTs in polymeric matrix has a significant role on the physical and the mechanical properties of the resulting CNT reinforced nanocomposites. In this study, a series of experiments were designed to investigate the effect of dispersion process parameters and CNT concentration, as well as thei...
Interfacial and structural properties of sputtered HfO2 layers
AYGÜN ÖZYÜZER, GÜLNUR; Yıldız, İlker (AIP Publishing, 2009-07-01)
Magnetron sputtered HfO2 layers formed on a heated Si substrate were studied by spectroscopic ellipsometer (SE), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiling techniques. The results show that the formation of a SiOx suboxide layer at the HfO2/Si interface is unavoidable. The HfO2 thickness and suboxide formation are highly affected by the growth parameters such as sputtering power, O-2/Ar gas ratio during sputtering, sputtering time, ...
