description: We report the discovery of only the fourth massive WO star to be found in the Milky Way, and only the seventh identified within the Local Group. This has resulted from the first observations made in a programme of follow-up spectroscopy of candidate emission line stars from the AAO/UK Schmidt Southern Galactic Plane H-alpha Survey. The optical spectrum of this star, to become WR 93b in the Catalogue of Galactic Wolf-Rayet stars, is presented and described. WR 93b is classified as WO3 and is shown to be highly reddened (E(B-V) = 2.1 pm 0.1). A recombination line analysis of the emission lines yields the abundance ratios C/He = 0.95 and O/He = 0.13 (by number). Comparisons at near infrared wavelengths of reddening corrected photometry between WR 93b and both of Sand 2 (WO3, D = 49 kpc) and Sand 5 (WO2, D = 1.75 kpc) yields a consistent distance to WR 93b of 3.4 kpc. Positioned at Galactic co-ordinates l = 353.27, b = -0.85, the star is most likely located in the Scutum-Crux Arm of the inner Milky Way. We note that none of the four Galactic WO stars lies significantly beyond the Solar Circle (with two well inside). Estimation of the wind terminal velocity in WR 93b at 5750 km/s makes this star the current wind speed record holder among all non-degenerate stars.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη των παγιωμένων εκφράσεων της νεοελληνικής γλώσσας. Εξετάσαμε την ορολογία που χρησιμοποιείται για τις παγιωμένες εκφράσεις και τους ορισμούς που έχουν προταθεί. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάσαμε αναλυτικά τα χαρακτηριστικά των παγιωμένων εκφράσεων, καθώς και τους περιορισμούς που ισχύουν όσον αφορά το λεξιλόγιο, τη γραμματική και τη σύνταξή τους. Ακόμη αναφερθήκαμε αναλυτικά στα μοντέλα κατανόησης των παγιωμένων εκφράσεων που έχουν προταθεί και μας απασχόλησε η κατανόηση των παγιωμένων εκφράσεων από τα παιδιά καθώς και η διδασκαλία τους σε ξενόγλωσσους. Ένα άλλο θέμα που θίξαμε ήταν η συγγραφή λεξικών παγιωμένων εκφράσεων και παρουσιάσαμε ορισμένα που έχουν γραφεί για την ελληνική. Ασχοληθήκαμε επιπλέον με την ιστορική διάσταση των παγιωμένων εκφράσεων της νέας ελληνικής και διαπιστώσαμε την παρουσία τους από την αρχαιότητα μέχρι σήμερα
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of frozen expressions (idioms) in Modern Greek. We examined the proposed terminology and the definitions given for frozen expressions. Then we presented the features of frozen expressions and the restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. Furthermore, we analyzed the models concerning the comprehension of frozen expressions and we examined children’s ability to produce and understand frozen expressions as well as ways of teaching them to foreign learners. We also examined the compilation of dictionaries of frozen expressions and we presented selected Greek dictionaries written in the last two decades. Another aim of this study was to examine the historical dimension of frozen expressions

description: The confluence of recent advances in availability of geospatial information, computing power, and artificial intelligence offers new opportunities to understand how and where our cities differ or are alike. Departing from a traditional `top-down' analysis of urban design features, this project analyses millions of images of urban form (consisting of street view, satellite imagery, and street maps) to find shared characteristics. A (novel) neural network-based framework is trained with imagery from the largest 1692 cities in the world and the resulting models are used to compare within-city locations from Melbourne and Sydney to determine the closest connections between these areas and their international comparators. This work demonstrates a new, consistent, and objective method to begin to understand the relationship between cities and their health, transport, and environmental consequences of their design. The results show specific advantages and disadvantages using each type of imagery. Neural networks trained with map imagery will be highly influenced by the mix of roads, public transport, and green and blue space as well as the structure of these elements. The colours of natural and built features stand out as dominant characteristics in satellite imagery. The use of street view imagery will emphasise the features of a human scaled visual geography of streetscapes. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this research also answers the age-old question, ``Is there really a `Paris-end' to your city?''.

description: We study the influence of unitarity corrections on the Drell-Yan transverse momentum distribution within the color dipole approach. These unitarity corrections are implemented through the multiple scattering Glauber-Mueller approach, which is contrasted with a phenomenological saturation model. The process is analyzed for the center of mass energies of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC, $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV) and of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC, $\sqrt{s}=14$ TeV). In addition, the results are extrapolated down to current energies of proton-proton collisions, where non-asymptotic corrections to the dipole approach are needed. It is also shown that in the absence of saturation, the dipole approach can be related to the QCD Compton process.

description: A transversal study of the pitch variability of parkinsonian voices in read speech is presented. 30 patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD) and 32 healthy speakers were recorded while reading a text without voiceless phonemes. The fundamental frequency contours were calculated from the recordings, and the following measures were used for describing them: mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation of the estimated fundamental frequencies. Results based on these measures indicate that the influence of PD on some aspects of intonation can be masked by the effects of aging, especially for male voices. However, some parameters such as the relative fundamental frequency range exhibit lower correlations with age than with PD stage, as evaluated using the Hoehn and Yahr scale. These correlations between relative fundamental frequency range and PD stage reach moderate-to-high values in the case of women. Additionally, three parameters describing the form of the fundamental frequency modulation spectrum were investigated for correlation with age and PD stage. The study of this modulation spectrum provides some insight into the ability of the speakers to plan the intonation of full phrases. For both male and female populations, significant correlations were found between parameters obtained from the modulation spectrum of fundamental frequency and the PD stage. Nevertheless, the quantitative assessment of the performance of regression models built from these modulation parameters and fundamental frequency range suggests that such measures are likely to be of limited value in the early diagnosis of PD due to inter-speaker variability.

description: High synchrotron peak (HSP; $ν_{sy}^{pk} > 10^{15}$ Hz) BL Lacs are some of the most extreme accelerators in the Universe. Those found at high redshifts ($z>1$) challenge our understanding of blazar evolution models and are crucial for cosmological measurements of the Extragalactic Background Light. In this paper, we study a high-$z$ BL Lac, 4FGL J2146.5-1344, detected to be at $z$=1.34 using the photometric dropout technique. We collected multi-wavelength data for this source from optical up to $γ$-rays, in order to study its spectral energy distribution (SED). In particular, this source was observed for the first time with NuSTAR, which accurately measures the synchrotron emission of this blazar up to 50 keV. Despite being classified as an HSP BL Lac object, the modeling of the SED reveals that this source likely belongs to the "masquerading BL Lac" class, which comprises of FSRQs appearing as disguised BL Lac objects.

description: We compute the transport properties of one dimensional interacting electrons, also known as a Luttinger liquid. We show that a renormalization group study allows to obtain the temperature dependence of the conductivity in an intermediate temperature range. In this range the conductivity has a power-law like dependence in temperature. At low temperatures, the motion proceed by tunnelling between localized configurations. We compute this tunnelling rate using a bosonization representation and an instanton technique. We find a conductivity $σ(T) \propto e^{-β^{1/2}}$, where $β$ is the temperature. We compare this results with the standard variable range hopping (VRH) formula.

description: We use data from 8,896 rice farmers based on three surveys in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan, conducted in 2015 and 2016. In the surveys, we asked sample farmers about their use mobile phones to obtain information about weather, agricultural prices, rice seeds, and production practices. We find that more than 13% of all sample farmers received some information about agriculture through operators and SMS messages on their mobile phones from private and extension agencies. The percentage ranges widely across regions and countries. Farmers paid for about half of the calls, often registered to receive them. In India, farmers who live away from the nearest market are more likely to receive paid calls about agricultural information. Better-off farmers in Pakistan are more likely to receive calls on their mobile phones agricultural information. In Bangladesh, only 2% of the sample farmers received agricultural information on their mobile phones.

description: Agricultural research is a big business and plays an important role in country development. This work aims to estimate the economic benefit provided to the Thai economy by investments in cassava research in the past. To complete this study, secondary data regarding cassava planting area, crop production, prices and investment funds expended for cassava research were gathered from the Office of Agricultural Economics, the National Research Council of Thailand, the Thai Tapioca Development Institute, Department of Agriculture, and Kasetsart University, during the years 1976 to 2014. Based on the data, cassava area and yield response functions were evaluated. The results shows that investment in cassava research at the present, as in the past, are determined significantly by the expansion of cassava area and yield; that is, investment in cassava research helps to increase cassava yield significantly. The marginal value product of research found in the study indicates that for each dollar invested in cassava research has resulted in economic benefit of 1.63 times the cost in the short run and 2.21 times the costs in the long run. Hence, investment in cassava research is worthwhile to the Thai economy, and continuing cassava research projects is highly recommended to produce technological innovation in support to agricultural development and transformation in Thailand.

description: A transition is happening within the energy sector from traditionally centralised,analogue fossil fuel based systems to a new concept of decarbonisation,decentralisation and digitalisation (the 3Ds). The energy sector is struggling with the integration of distributed renewable energy sources, and the development of new technologies will dictate the extent to which the transition will be possible. So called distributed ledger technology - blockchain is seen as one of the solutions to enhance the energy transition.The key sectors where strategic changes have to be made in order to reach the Paris Agreement objectives are energy and energy efficiency, where Energy Services Company (ESCO) model as a financing mechanism could play a crucial role. Around 50 % of final energy consumption in Southeast Europe is attributed to the consumption in buildings. It is estimated that energy savings from 20 % to 40 % could be achieved only by improving energy efficiency in that sector. An overall digital upgrade could contribute with additional 15-25 %.The purpose of this thesis is to validate whether blockchain technology could support the implementation of energy conservation measures through ESCO business models in the Serbian market for energy efficiency. A theoretical decision framework is proposed to test the concept of energy performance contracting supported by blockchain. Secondly, the thesis analyses the main barriers in deploying ESCO financing in Serbia to meet the national goals of increased energy efficiency.

description: We study measures defined on effect algebras. We characterize real-valued measures on effect algebras and find a class of effect algebras, that include the natural effect algebras of sets, on which sigma-additive measures with values in a finite dimensional Banach space are always bounded. We also prove that in effect algebras the Nikodym and the Grothendieck properties together imply the Vitali-Hahn-Saks property, and find an example of an effect algebra verifying the Vitali-Hahn-Saks property but failing to have the Nikodym property. Finally, we define the concept of variation for vector measures on effect algebras proving that in effect algebras verifying the Riesz Decomposition Property, the variation of a finitely additive vector measure is a finitely additive positive measure.

description: Liquid-phase exfoliation, the use of a sheared liquid to delaminate graphite into few-layer graphene, is a promising technique for the large-scale production of graphene. But the micro and nanoscale fluid-structure processes controlling the exfoliation are not fully understood. Here we perform non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of a defect-free graphite nanoplatelet suspended in a shear flow and measure the critical shear rate $\dot γ_c$ needed for the exfoliation to occur. We compare $\dot γ_c$ for different solvents including water and NMP, and nanoplatelets of different lengths. Using a theoretical model based on a balance between the work done by viscous shearing forces and the change in interfacial energies upon layer sliding, we are able to predict the critical shear rates $\dot γ_c$ measured in simulations. We find that an accurate prediction of the exfoliation of short graphite nanoplatelets is possible only if both hydrodynamic slip and the fluid forces on the graphene edges are considered, and if an accurate value of the solid-liquid surface energy is used. The commonly used "geometric-mean" approximation for the solid-liquid energy leads to grossly incorrect predictions.

description: The subject of this dissertation concerns the static valuation study of the Church of the Holy Greek Community Monastery of Koutloumousi on Mount Athos. It is a building made of load-bearing masonry with the central original Temple dating back to before the 12th century. The holy monastery suffered great destructions and damages throughout its life with many restorations and reconstructions. The Holy Monastery of Koutloumousi is a historical monument of important cultural heritage as it has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The analysis of the Temple system was performed with the method of surface finite elements through the program SAP2000. The purpose of this dissertation is on the one hand to recognize the dynamic identity of the Temple and to identify its vulnerabilities to dynamic external charges and on the other hand to determine the reason for the genesis of the existing pathology found in the Holy Temple. The soil-superstructure interaction is also being examined as there is significant pathology over the years which indicates the existence of landslides in the wider area of the Monastery. Finally, various restoration and reinforcement measures for the Temple are being investigated

At what cost? : Asking the right questions about how to finance climate change action in Canada
Creators: name: Liem, Simon
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Climate change poses a dire threat to Canadian cities. Immediate action is required to adapt urban centres to weather regimes that are becoming more extreme and unpredictable. Planners and their municipalities must change their practices in this new reality, especially with regard to planning for infrastructure. This will require a large investment into adapting urban infrastructure for climate change. Unfortunately, municipal governments are ill-equipped to face this challenge. The fiscal tools available to municipal governments are not capable of meeting the responsibilities delegated to them. This Capstone Project argues that this lack of fiscal capacity is a self-imposed political constraint that can be lifted at any time. Canada’s federal government, as the issuer of the Canadian dollar, has a unique ability to create financial resources at its discretion. This fact supersedes arguments over which level of government has the necessary capacity to spend, because the federal government has a fundamentally different ability to spend than all other levels of government. Canada also has a history of federal-municipal collaboration that continues to the present day, providing an institutional framework for directing federal resources to local governments. Proposals, such as the Green New Deal, offer paths to utilize federal spending powers and existing federal-municipal relationships to take the necessary steps to adapting Canadian cities to climate change. The goal of this Capstone Project is to show that there are fewer barriers to financing climate change adaptation than commonly thought. If the observations made in this report are accepted it will lead to more fruitful work of building cities that meet the needs of its citizens in this changing climate.

description: Machine learning has revolutionized the high-dimensional representations for molecular properties such as potential energy. However, there are scarce machine learning models targeting tensorial properties, which are rotationally covariant. Here, we propose tensorial neural network (NN) models to learn both tensorial response and transition properties, in which atomic coordinate vectors are multiplied with scalar NN outputs or their derivatives to preserve the rotationally covariant symmetry. This strategy keeps structural descriptors symmetry invariant so that the resulting tensorial NN models are as efficient as their scalar counterparts. We validate the performance and universality of this approach by learning response properties of water oligomers and liquid water, and transition dipole moment of a model structural unit of proteins. Machine learned tensorial models have enabled efficient simulations of vibrational spectra of liquid water and ultraviolet spectra of realistic proteins, promising feasible and accurate spectroscopic simulations for biomolecules and materials.

description: We present a general analysis of shot noise in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer, of the type investigated experimentally [Yang Ji et al., Nature 422, 415 (2003)], under the influence of dephasing produced by fluctuations of a classical field. We show how the usual partition noise expression T(1-T) is modified by dephasing, depending on the power spectrum of the environmental fluctuations.

description: Jet shape observables which involve measurements restricted to a part of phase space are sensitive to multiplication of soft gluon with large relative angles and give rise to specific single logarithmically enhanced (SL) terms (non-global logs). We consider associated distributions in two variables which combine measurement of a jet shape V in the whole phase space (global) and that of the transverse energy flow away from the jet direction, Eout (non-global). We show that associated distributions factorize into the global distribution in V and a factor that takes into account SL contributions from multi-gluon ``hedgehog'' configurations in all orders. The latter is the same that describes the single-variable Eout distribution, but evaluated at a rescaled energy VQ.

description: Active matter exhibits remarkable collective behavior in which flows, continuously generated by active particles, are intertwined with the orientational order of these particles. The relationship remains poorly understood as the activity and order are difficult to control independently. Here we demonstrate important facets of this interplay by exploring dynamics of swimming bacteria in a liquid crystalline environment with pre-designed periodic splay and bend in molecular orientation. The bacteria are expelled from the bend regions and condense into polar jets that propagate and transport cargo unidirectionally along the splay regions. The bacterial jets remain stable even when the local concentration exceeds the threshold of bending instability in a non-patterned system. Collective polar propulsion and different role of bend and splay are explained by an advection-diffusion model and by numerical simulations that treat the system as a two-phase active nematic. The ability of prepatterned liquid crystalline medium to streamline the chaotic movements of swimming bacteria into polar jets that can carry cargo along a predesigned trajectory opens the door for potential applications in cell sorting, microscale delivery and soft microrobotics.

description: Είναι ευρέως γνωστό πως η χώρα μας αποτελεί μια από τις πλέον σεισμογενείς. Ιδιαίτερα τα τελευταία χρόνια, οι μεσαίας και μεγάλης έντασης σεισμού είναι συχνότεροι, με επιπτώσεις στις κατασκευές και σε συνέπεια και σε ανθρώπινες ζωές. Έτσι, δημιουργείται η ανάγκη σχεδιασμού των κατασκευών δίνοντας ιδιαίτερη σημασία στις σεισμικές δράσεις. Στην Ελλάδα οι ισχύοντες αντισεισμικοί κανονισμοί είναι ο ΕΑΚ 2000, δηλαδή ο Ελληνικός κανονισμός, και ο Ευρωκώδικας 8 (ΕΝ 1998:2005), δηλαδή οι ευρωπαϊκός κανονισμός. Η παρούσα εργασία έχει σκοπό την σύγκριση των κανονισμών του ισχύοντα ευρωκώδικά με αυτόν που βρίσκεται υπό διαμόρφωση όσον αφορά τον έλεγχο της φέρουσας ικανότητας επιφανειακών θεμελίων και τοίχων αντιστήριξης. Για τον σκοπό αυτό ήταν απαραίτητη η καλή κατανόηση των δύο κανονισμών και η επισήμανση των διαφορών τους. Στην εργασία, αρχικά παρατίθενται οι σχέσεις με τις οποίες γίνεται ο έλεγχος της φέρουσας ικανότητας στους δύο κανονισμούς τόσο για επιφανειακά θεμέλια, όσο και για τοίχους αντιστήριξης. Στην συνέχεια, δημιουργούνται διαγράμματα ευαισθησίας για κάθε μια από τις παραμέτρους σχεδιασμού για τα δύο είδη θεμελιώσεων με την βοήθεια προγραμμάτων που αναπτύχθηκαν σε γλώσσα python. Τέλος, παρουσιάστηκαν τα συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν από τις αναλύσεις
description: It is widely known that our country is one of the most earthquake-prone in Europe. Especially in recent years, medium and high intensity earthquakes are most frequent, with impact on structures and consequently in human lives. Thus, the design of structures must pay attention to seismic actions. Nowadays, in Greece current earthquake-resistant regulations are EAK2000, i.e. Greek regulation, and Eurocode 8 which are European regulations. Purpose of the present thesis is comparison of current Eurocode 8 and the one under development regarding the test of bearing capacity for spread foundations and retaining walls. For this reason, it was necessary to have a good understanding of regulations and point out their differences. In this thesis, at first, the equations which bearing capacity is being checked are listed. Subsequently, sensitivity curves are created for each of the design parameters for these two types of structures, by programs which are developed in python language. Finally, the conclusions drawn from these analyses were presented

Development of a Learning Module for Nurses: Pre-Discharge Assessment of Psychological Distress in Hospitalized Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Creators: name: Human, Megan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Background: Psychological distress is common among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This can lead to significant cardiac risk and, ultimately, increased rates of morbidity and mortality. Clinical practice guidelines recommend that routine screening for psychological distress should occur following any cardiac event. With this practice change, nurses are expected to perform such mood assessments using an appropriate screening tool. Aims: To identify, review and synthesize the relevant literature in order to develop an online, self-directed learning module for nurses that outlines 1) the evidence for the association between CVD and psychological distress and 2) how to effectively conduct the psychological-distress screening with all CVD inpatients. Methods: The literature was reviewed with a focus on three key points: the important links between psychological distress and CVD; the best practices for psychological screening among CVD patients; and the evidence for the benefits of psychological distress screening. A literature search was also done on adult learning principles, knowledge translation, and learning module development. Using all of this information, a self-directed online learning module was developed. Recommendations: Nurses, as adult learners, must take an active role in learning how to effectively screen cardiac patients for psychological distress. This module offers background evidence, relevant case scenarios, and self-evaluation questions to promote optimal learning. Conclusion: The opportunity to screen patients with CVD for psychological distress is one that must not be missed. Nurses play a pivotal role in the screening process, since/because the nursepatient relationship is an important determinant of patients’ perceived benefits of a healthier lifestyle after a major cardiac event. With practice changes regularly occurring in the nursing profession, it is imperative that nurses take an active role in such educational opportunities such as this learning module regarding screening patients with CVD for psychological distress.
Critical supercurrent and $ϕ_0$ state for probing a persistent spin helix

description: We theoretically study the profile of a supercurrent in two-dimensional Josephson junctions with Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction (RDSOI) in the presence of a Zeeman field. Through investigating self-biased supercurrent (so called $φ_0$-Josephson state), we obtain explicit expressions for the functionality of the $φ_0$ state with respect to RDSOI parameters ($α,β$) and in-plane Zeeman field components ($h_x,h_y$). Our findings reveal that, when the chemical potential ($μ$) is high enough compared to the energy gap ($Δ$) in superconducting electrodes, i.e., $μ\gg Δ$, RSOI and DSOI with equal strengths ($|α|=|β|$) cause vanishing $φ_0$ state independent of magnetization and the type of RDSOI. A Zeeman field with unequal components, i.e., $|h_x|\neq |h_y|$, however, can counteract and nullify the destructive impact of equal-strength RDSOIs (for one type only), where $μ\simΔ$, although $|h_x|= |h_y|$ can still eliminate the $φ_0$ state. Remarkably, in the $μ\simΔ$ limit, the $φ_0$ state is proportional to the multiplication of both components of an in-plane Zeeman field, i.e., $h_xh_y$, which is absent in the $μ\gg Δ$ limit. Furthermore, our results of critical supercurrents demonstrate that the persistent spin helices can be revealed in a high enough chemical potential regime $μ\gg Δ$, while an opposite regime, i.e., $μ\simΔ$, introduces an adverse effect. In the ballistic regime, the "maximum" of the critical supercurrent occurs at $|α|=|β|$ and the Zeeman field can boost this feature. The presence of disorder and nonmagnetic impurities change this picture drastically so the "minimum" of the critical supercurrent occurs at and around the symmetry lines $|α|=|β|$.

description: The elements of a finite partial order $P$ can be identified with the maximal indecomposable two-sided ideals of its incidence algebra $\A$, and then for two such ideals, $I\prec J \iff IJ \not=0$. This offers one way to recover a poset from its incidence algebra. In the course of proving the above, we classify all of the two-sided ideals of $\A$.
