Helpful life habits from successful people

Germans

• Wake up around 6:23
  
• Spend 23 mins in the bathroom 
• Start work at 7:49
• Work for eight hour per day including one hour lunch.
• So, leave at 16:00
• Go to bed at 11:15

Extra work is means inefficiency, not being hard-worker. 

Classical Politicians

This post gathers a list of politicians. The people who were giants in their times. I am trying to understand what happened to the world, which led to this level of degradation in politics.

Never do an experiment in a hurry

Rashing just ruins your experiment and stresses your soul. Eventually, you’ll repeat it!

قانون خدمت وظیفه عمومی

هدف از پست جمع‌آوری اطلاعات و مراجع مربوط به خدمت وظیفه عمومی است و رویکرد آن بررسی شرایط معافیت، کسری یا خرید سربازی است. قانون خدمت وظیفه عمومی که در قوانین جمهوری اسلامی به آن رجوع می‌شود قانونی است که در سال 1363 توسط مجلس شورا تصویب شده است (لینک به متن قانون) منتها این قانون پس از تصویب در طول به دفعات مکرر اصلاح شده است. لذا مراجعه‌کننده جهت درک صحیح قوانین باید اصلاحات آن را نیز در نظر بگیرد. ضمنا «آیین نامه اجرایی قانون خدمت وظیفه عمومی»، مصوب هیآت وزیران در سال 1391 نیز بررسی خواهد شد. یکی دیگر از مراجع معتبر قوانین روزنامه رسمی است که متن آیین‌نامه‌ی مذبور به صورت در روزنامه رسمی ارائه می‌شود. همچنین قوانین و مقررات کشور در وبسایت dastour.ir جمع‌آوری شده‌است که می‌تواند به عنوان منبع مورد رجوع قرار گیرد.

Electro-spinnability and the Weather

This is the third summer that we cannot perform electrospinning on 10 wt.% PAN solution. We have tested all the effective parameters that we think might affect the process. Finally, we hypothesized that the weather may be responsible for the condition: temperature, relative humidity. Temperature is usually kept at room temperature in the lab, but we are not sure about the humidity.

Extension of Residence Permit

This post is about everything which is related to the extension of my residence permit in Turkey. I will update it frequently.

In this post, I have collected the most important documents and requirements which are necessary to apply some Turkish grad schools.

Targeted Universities for Postdoctoral Studies

Since I have not yet a good brand, I have to look for well-known universities while trying to find the best-fit research group for my research topic. The following list contains a bunch of top schools I am trying to get into. I have to look for the schools located in North America and Europe to have a reasonable and safe number of choices, so I'll skip those schools which are in other parts of the world.

Languages I need to learn

At the moment, I know Turki, Farsi, Arabic, English, and Latin. For my professional life and my interests in science, I need to learn a few languages more. Among them are Greek, German, Russian, and French.

It usually takes one term to progress one step. The following is the time calculation for learning German based on the Gotte Institute information. Supposing that I want to cover A and B levels, it will take totally 18 months or 1.5 year: A1.1 (2 months), A1.2 (2 months), A2.1 (2 months), A2.2 (2 months), B1.1 (2 months), B1.2 (2 months), B2.1 (2 months), B2.2 (2 months), B2.3 (2 months).

If I complete these steps for all the four languages I need, 4*18=72 moths or 5 years. It is not a long time to spend on my future. Once I finish these languages, besides the English, Latin, Turki, Farsi, and Arabic, I will have access to almost all important documents from the west and east cultures to explore the history and evolution of human thought.

MSc Paper Publication

This post entails the journals which are potential locations to publish my paper out of the MSc studies. I will list them and inspect them one-by-one. In the end, I will prepare an ordered list of suitable journals.

MIT Science Textbook Collections

The textbooks are being listed which are advised in the science departments of MIT. The information is gathered from OCW.

My MATSE Bookshelf

This page contains those books on various branches of materials science and engineering which I will read in the future.

Best books to learn solid state physics

I am going toward solid state physics in my research. To strengthen my background on the topic, I was searching for some good books. Throughout the search on the internet, I found the following list of books more recommended.

Study monitor spring 2017-18

The post has my study time in it. In some weeks, I have given up recording the study time. So, the data for some weeks is missing. I will do a slight change to the time managing book so that I can claim some tasks for every day, and perform them.

I want to live in a country

This post is a list of the best countries to live in, according to Business Insider. I am pursuing an academic job in one of these countries so that I can settle there as my second home. I will explore the appropriate opportunities in the universities, research centers, and R&Ds. I will list them with their pros and cons. Finally, I will select an optimum set of them and start applying:

1. Norway, 2. Austrailia, 3. Switzerland, 4. Germany, 5. Denmark
6. Singapore, 7. The Netherlands, 8. Ireland, 9. Iceland, 10. Canada
11. The United States, 12. Hong Kong, 13. New Zealand, 14. Sweeden, 15. Liechtenstein

Radioactivity of Drinking Water in Ardabil, Iran

For measuring the radioactivity of materials in comparison to ²³⁸ U, there are two common methods: 1) neutron activation spectroscopy and 2) gamma spectroscopy. There is doubt amongst people who live nearby Savalan volcanic mountain about the level of radioactive materials in the city network water. They suspect that the high level of cancer roots in this factor. Of course, it can be true but should be tested. The thing that is needed to be done is a standard measurement of the activity level using one of these instruments. These instruments are most probably available in the laboratories belong to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI). They are even available in the Iran Nanotechnology Laboratory Network (here). The water samples should be taken from different water resources, tested and compared to standard levels.

To-read books in Turkish

This is the list of the Turkish books which I want to read but I do not have time. Here I am listing them to read in the future.

Surface Science

This semester, I am auditing Surface Science: Chemistry and Physics instructed by Dr. Gözde İnce. At the beginning of the semester, I audited the course to help me launch in the field then I would continue with professional textbooks. Yesterday when I was solving the first homework, I had a look at the textbooks. Amongst the three resources which I found, the below two were the best to continue with.

Surface Chemistry and Catalysis
by Gabor A. Somorjai
SU IC: QD506.S66 1994

The author of the book is considered as the most cited scientist in the field.

Surface Science: An Introduction
by K. Oura, V. G. Lifshits, A.A. Saranin, A.V.Zotov. and M. Katayama

West Turkey tour

This a plan of a journey to western Turkey in the upcoming summer. The aimed cities are Erzincan, Erzurum, Ağrı, Kars, and Ardahan. This post contains the agglomerating information about these cities and the possible routes.

A few hours in I.R.I. General Consulate

Today, I went to the consulate for some paperwork. There, I experienced some problems. To number them, (1) the responsible person was not there. What a good chance! Therefore, I decided to call her beforehand, in the future, and make sure that she will be in her position: Ms. Jahanbackshi, the extension number is 132. I remember that we can only call them after 14:00.

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis is a useful technique for analyzing the mechanical behavior of laminae. I was trained yesterday to use it: Netzsch DMA 242 C. In this post, I'll share the experiences that I gain during this adventure.

The best rout to get I.R.I. Consulate General in İstanbul from Sabancı University

The map shows the most appropriate route to get the I.R.I. Consulate General, İstanbul, from Sabancı University:

1. Shuttle from Sabancı University to Kozyatağı
2. Metro from Kozyatağı to Ayrılık Çeşmesi
3. Marmaray from Ayrılık Çeşmesi to Sirkeci
4. Walk from Sirkeci station to the consulate

Study monitor

The below image shows my study behavior in fall 2017-18. I have increased the study time during the semester. The increase, however, may be due to the fluctuations I experienced if the lab hours and assisting hours are included in the study time. To avoid this problem, I will itemize clearly which activities should and which should not be included in the study time.

Turkish Dictionary

I want to buy three dictionaries: 1. Azeri-English, 2. English-Turkish, and 3. Turkish-Turkish. The dictionaries should not be so comprehensive. I want them to be a learner's dictionary. Here are some reliable candidates which I am going to choose out of them.
