description: Παρά τις πολλές και μακροχρόνιες ερευνητικές προσπάθειες που διενεργήθηκαν μέχρι σήμερα, δεν έχει βρεθεί μέθοδος εργαστηριακής συμπύκνωσης ασφαλτομιγμάτων που προσομοιάζει ακριβώς την εργοταξιακή συμπύκνωση. Έτσι το θέμα της εργαστηριακής συμπύκνωσης παραμένει επίκαιρο. Τα τελευταία χρόνια έχει γίνει στροφή από την παραδοσιακή μέθοδο εργαστηριακής συμπύκνωσης Marshall, σε πιο σύγχρονες μεθόδους, όπως η γυροσκοπική μέθοδος. Στο πλαίσιο της παρούσας εργασίας πραγματοποιήθηκε εργαστηριακό πείραμα για τη συστηματική διερεύνηση διαφόρων παραμέτρων που επηρεάζουν τη συμπύκνωση μέσω της γυροσκοπικής μεθόδου, όπως η εσωτερική γωνία περιστροφής, η θερμοκρασία συμπύκνωσης και οι διαστάσεις των δοκιμίων. Επίσης, πραγματοποιήθηκε διερεύνηση της κατανομής των κενών στη μάζα των συμπυκνωμένων δοκιμίων, καθώς και προσδιορισμός και αξιολόγηση των καμπυλών συμπύκνωσης δύο τύπων ασφαλτομιγμάτων. Μεταξύ άλλων διαπιστώθηκε διαφοροποίηση της συμπυκνωσιμότητας των μιγμάτων όταν μεταβάλλεται η γωνία περιστροφής, η οποία είναι πιο χαρακτηριστική κατά τη σύγκριση μεταξύ των γωνιών που συνιστούν η ευρωπαϊκή και η αμερικανική προδιαγραφή. Επίσης, οι διαστάσεις των δοκιμίων, μέσω του λόγου ύψους προς διάμετρο, βρέθηκε ότι επηρεάζουν σημαντικά τη συμπύκνωση.
description: In spite of the large number and of many years of the research efforts that have been accomplished until today, it has not accepted only one laboratory compaction method that simulates exactly the field asphalt compaction. In this way, the problem of laboratory compaction remains opportune. Previous years, it has been done a change from the traditional laboratory compaction method Marshall, to modern methods, like the gyratory method. Within this investigation, a laboratory experiment was accomplished to investigate various factors that affect on the laboratory compaction with gyratory method, like the internal angle, the compaction temperature and the specimens dimensions. Additionally, it was investigated the air voids distribution in the specimens mass and the determination of the compaction curves. Among results, it was found that there is a difference to mixtures compactability, between angles that European and American specifications constitute. Additionally, it was found that specimens dimensions, in terms of height to diameter ratio, affects significantly compaction.

description: We analize a possible explanation of the pulsar motions in terms of resonant neutrino transitions induced by a violation of the equivalence principle (VEP). Our approach, based on a parametrized post-Newtonian (PPN) expansion, shows that VEP effects give rise to highly directional contributions to the neutrino oscillation length. These terms induce anisotropies in the linear and angular momentum of the emitted neutrinos, which can account for both the observed translational and rotational pulsar motions. The violation needed to produce the actual motions is completely compatible with the existing bounds.

description: In practice, one must recognize the inevitable incompleteness of information while making decisions. In this paper, we consider the optimal redeeming problem of stock loans under a state of incomplete information presented by the uncertainty in the (bull or bear) trends of the underlying stock. This is called drift uncertainty. Due to the unavoidable need for the estimation of trends while making decisions, the related Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation is of a degenerate parabolic type. Hence, it is very hard to obtain its regularity using the standard approach, making the problem different from the existing optimal redeeming problems without drift uncertainty. We present a thorough and delicate probabilistic and functional analysis to obtain the regularity of the value function and the optimal redeeming strategies. The optimal redeeming strategies of stock loans appear significantly different in the bull and bear trends.

description: Basically, we all want the same for the children and young people with whom we work. It is not only a particular set of circumstances we strive for, but a set of attitudes which prepare children and young people to go forward into adulthood with personal resources which empower them to live hopeful and satisfying lives. We want young people leaving care settings to be able to make choices which keep them safe and provide opportunities for meaningful inclusion in society. Attachment theory and resilience models provide us with invaluable signposts in terms of how we organise our systems and support plans for vulnerable young people, in the full range of care settings, to achieve these goals.

description: This thesis examines the application of machine learning pipelines for automatic generalised seizure detection. We begin by introducing the potential pipeline components of a signal classification system (Pre-processing, Feature Engineering, Dimensionality Reduction, and Classification), and review the literature associated with each stage. In the subsequent research chapters, Bayesian optimisation is used to systematically optimise many pipeline/model configurations and hyperparameters to provide practical guidance and inform future pipeline development. There is a focus on ecological validity, therefore we use real-world "raw" patient records collected as part of routine care from multiple healthcare institutions. In chapter 3, using a large feature set and feature reduction techniques, we were able to identify components of EEG records useful for identifying absence epilepsy seizures for pipelines with "classical" classifiers. These pipelines had good overall performance, at the expense of a high false positive rate (FPR); with the best binary classifiers never missing a seizure and accurately marking the full duration of most seizures. As class imbalances were a challenge for effective model training, chapter 4 examined pipelines with balanced ensemble classifiers. Compared to chapter 3, boosted ensembles were faster, with a lower FPR and high precision/specificity. However, typically the full seizure was not marked, meaning they may be more useful for accessing the number of seizures in a record rather than their length. Subsequently, chapter 5 examined the performance of boosted ensembles and deep learning architectures on two different types of generalised seizure. Consistent with human raters, models trained to detect absence seizures, a seizure type with little intra-patient and inter-patient variability, had better performance across all investigated metrics compared to non-specific seizures, which have large intra-patient and inter-patient variabilities. Compared to deep learning models, boosted ensembles provided the best overall performance, were more computationally-efficient, and would be easier to implement into healthcare practice. To our knowledge, this thesis provides the first use of optimal hyperparameters and pipeline components found through Bayesian optimisation methods for absence epilepsy detection. In the future, such pipelines could reduce the current bottleneck of clinical time required to manually mark EEG records by providing a preliminary marked record to a physiologist.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: We present a spectropolarimetric study of two weak-line T Tauri stars (wTTSs), TWA 6 and TWA 8A, as part of the MaTYSSE (Magnetic Topologies of Young Stars and the Survival of close-in giant Exoplanets) program. Both stars display significant Zeeman signatures that we have modelled using Zeeman Doppler Imaging (ZDI). The magnetic field of TWA 6 is split equally between poloidal and toroidal components, with the largest fraction of energy in higher-order modes, with a total unsigned flux of 840 G, and a poloidal component tilted $35^{\circ}$ from the rotation axis. TWA 8A has a 70 per cent poloidal field, with most of the energy in higher-order modes, with an unsigned flux of 1.4 kG (with a magnetic filling factor of 0.2), and a poloidal field tilted $20^{\circ}$ from the rotation axis. Spectral fitting of the very strong field in \tb (in individual lines, simultaneously for Stokes $I$ and $V$) yielded a mean magnetic field strength of $6.0\pm0.5$ kG. The higher field strengths recovered from spectral fitting suggests that a significant proportion of magnetic energy lies in small-scale fields that are unresolved by ZDI. So far, wTTSs in MaTYSSE appear to show that the poloidal-field axisymmetry correlates with the magnetic field strength. Moreover, it appears that classical T Tauri stars (cTTSs) and wTTSs are mostly poloidal and axisymmetric when mostly convective and cooler than $\sim4300$ K, with hotter stars being less axisymmetric and poloidal, regardless of internal structure.

Some Results and a Conjecture for Manna's Stochastic Sandpile Model

description: We present some analytical results for the stochastic sandpile model, studied earlier by Manna. In this model, the operators corresponding to particle addition at different sites commute. The eigenvalues of operators satisfy a system of coupled polynomial equations. For an L X L square, we construct a nontrivial toppling invariant, and hence a ladder operator which acting on eigenvectors of evolution operator gives new eigenvectors with different eigenvalues. For periodic boundary conditions in one direction, one more toppling invariant can be constructed. We show that there are many forbidden subconfigurations, and only an exponentially small fraction of all stable configurations are recurrent. We obtain rigorous lower and upper bounds for the minimum number of particles in a recurrent configuration, and conjecture a formula for its exact value for finite-size rectangles.

description: We consider the evolution of the phase transition from the parent hexagonal phase $P6_{3}/mmc$ to the orthorhombic phase $Pmcn$ that occurs in several compounds of $A'A''BX_{4}$ family as a function of the hcp lattice parameter $c/a$. For compounds of $K_{2}SO_{4}$ type with $c/a$ larger than the threshold value 1.26 the direct first-order transition $Pmcn-P6_{3}/mmc$ is characterized by the large entropy jump $Rln2$. For compounds $Rb_{2}WO_{4}$, $K_{2}MoO_{4}$, $K_{2}WO_{4}$ with $c/a<1.26$ this transition occurs via an intermediate incommensurate $(Inc)$ phase. DSC measurements were performed in $Rb_{2}WO_{4}$ to characterize the thermodynamics of the $Pmcn-Inc-P6_{3}/mmc$ transitions. It was found that both transitions are again of the first order with entropy jumps $0.2Rln2 and $0.3Rln2$. Therefore, at $c/a ~ 1.26$ the $A'A''BX_{4}$ compounds reveal an unusual Lifshitz point where three first order transition lines meet. We propose the coupling of crystal elasticity with $BX_{4}$ tetrahedra orientation as a possible source of the transitions discontinuity.

description: The majority of children in society are raised by their parents. This usually means that they will have had an opportunity to learn about their histories first hand by people who have raised them. Family that have been part of and shared in our lives can reminisce with us, or help us separate fact from fiction. Sometimes family provide stories of events that we can't quite remember, yet have heard so many times they become real and vivid. Yet, for many young people living in residential care, the stories of their childhood have become lost or are too painful to be shared.

description: We present the discovery of the Optical Transient (OT) of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB000926. The optical transient was detected independently with the Nordic Optical Telescope and at Calar Alto 22.2 hours after the burst. At this time the magnitude of the transient was R = 19.36. The transient faded with a decay slope of about 1.7 during the first two days after which the slope increased abruptly (within a few hours) to about 2.4. The light-curve started to flatten off after about a week indicating the presence of an underlying extended object. This object was detected in a deep image obtained one month after the GRB at R=23.87+-0.15 and consists of several compact knots within about 5 arcsec. One of the knots is spatially coincident with the position of the OT and hence most likely belongs to the host galaxy. Higher resolution imaging is needed to resolve whether all the compact knots belong to the host galaxy or to several independent objects. In a separate paper we present a discussion of the optical spectrum of the OT, and its inferred redshift (Moller et al. in prep.).

description: We consider cooperative processes (quantum spin chains and random walks) in one-dimensional fluctuating random and aperiodic environments characterized by fluctuating exponents omega>0. At the critical point the random and aperiodic systems scale essentially anisotropically in a similar fashion: length (L) and time (t) scales are related as t ~ log^{1/omega}. Also some critical exponents, characterizing the singularities of average quantities, are found to be universal functions of omega, whereas some others do depend on details of the distribution of the disorder. In the off-critical region there is an important difference between the two types of environments: in aperiodic systems there are no extra (Griffiths)-singularities.

description: In this work, a novel Cu–UiO-66/wood composite was successfully fabricated by a facile in situ growth strategy, and the influence of Cu–UiO-66 metal-organic framework (MOF) loading on the wood substrate thermal stability and flame retardancy were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy images indicated that the octahedral Cu–UiO-66 microparticles were uniformly and firmly decorated on the lumen surface within the balsa wood scaffold. The incorporation of only 6.5 wt% Cu–UiO-66 MOF remarkably enhanced the thermal stability and flame retardancy of the natural wood. Compared with the untreated wood, the peak heat release rate of the Cu–UiO-66/wood composite exhibited a drastic decline by 73.1% from 94.5 to 25.4 W·g−1 and the total heat release from 7.7 to 5 kJ·g−1. Meanwhile, the treated wood had a strong self-extinguishing ability and the char residue rate of the Cu–UiO-66/wood is significantly increased by 132.7%. Therefore, this work provided an effective means of achieving the fire safety wood via introducing and constructing Cu–UiO-66 MOF flame retardants material.

description: Navigation applications are becoming ubiquitous in our daily navigation experiences. With the intention to circumnavigate congested roads, their route guidance always follows the basic assumption that drivers always want the fastest route. However, it is unclear how their recommendations are followed and what factors affect their adoption. We present the results of a semi-structured qualitative study with 17 drivers, mostly from the Philippines and Japan. We recorded their daily commutes and occasional trips, and inquired into their navigation practices, route choices and on-the-fly decision-making. We found that while drivers choose a recommended route in urgent situations, many still preferred to follow familiar routes. Drivers deviated because of a recommendation's use of unfamiliar roads, lack of local context, perceived driving unsuitability, and inconsistencies with realized navigation experiences. Our findings and implications emphasize their personalization needs, and how the right amount of algorithmic sophistication can encourage behavioral adaptation.

description: We present results of high-resolution thermal-expansion and specific-heat measurements on single crystalline alpha'-NaV2O5. We find clear evidence for two almost degenerate phase transitions associated with the formation of the dimerized state around 33K: A sharp first-order transition at T1=(33+-0.1)K slightly below the onset of a second-order transition at T2onset around (34+-0.1)K. The latter is accompanied by pronounced spontaneous strains. Our results are consistent with a structural transformation at T1 induced by the incipient spin-Peierls (SP) order parameter above T2=TSP.

description: We study a mean-field model of a Kondo alloy using numerical techniques and analytic approximations. In this model, randomly distributed magnetic impurities interact with a band of conduction electrons and have a residual RKKY coupling of strength $J$. This system has a quantum critical point at $J=J_{c} \sim T_{K}^0$, the Kondo scale of the problem. The $T$ dependence of the spin susceptibility near the quantum critical point is singular with $χ(0)-χ(T) \propto T^γ$ and non-integer $γ$. At $J_{c}$, $γ= 3/4$. For $J\lesssim J_{c}$ there are two crossovers with decreasing $T$, first to $γ=3/2$ and then to $γ=2$, the Fermi-liquid value. The dissipative part of the time-dependent susceptibility $χ''(ω)\propto ω$ as $ω\to 0$ except at the quantum critical point where we find $χ''(ω) \propto \sqrtω$. The characteristic spin-fluctuation energy vanishes at the quantum critical point with $ω_{\rm sf} \sim (1-J/J_{c})$ for $J\lesssim J_{c}$, and $ω_{\rm sf} \propto T^{3/2}$ at the critical coupling.

description: The effect of misalignment between the magnetic field $\magB$ and the angular momentum $\Jang$ of molecular cloud cores on the angular momentum evolution during the gravitational collapse is investigated by ideal and non-ideal MHD simulations. For the non-ideal effect, we consider the ohmic and ambipolar diffusion. Previous studies that considered the misalignment reported qualitatively contradicting results. Magnetic braking was reported as being either strengthened or weakened by misalignment in different studies. We conducted simulations of cloud-core collapse by varying the stability parameter $α$ (the ratio of the thermal to gravitational energy of the core) with and without including magnetic diffusion The non-ideal MHD simulations show the central angular momentum of the core with $θ=0^\circ$ ($\Jang \parallel \magB$) being always greater than that with $θ=90^\circ$ ($\Jang \perp \magB$), independently of $α$, meaning that circumstellar disks form more easily form in a core with $θ=0^\circ$. The ideal MHD simulations, in contrast, show the the central angular momentum of the core with $θ=90^\circ$ being greater than with $θ=0^\circ$ for small $α$, and is smaller for large $α$. Inspection of the angular momentum evolution of the fluid elements reveals three mechanisms contributing to the evolution of the angular momentum: (i) magnetic braking in the isothermal collapse phase, (ii) selective accretion of the rapidly (for $θ=90^\circ$ ) or slowly (for $θ=0^\circ$) rotating fluid elements to the central region, and (iii) magnetic braking in the first-core and the disk. The difference between the ideal and non-ideal simulations arises from the different efficiencies of (iii).

description: We study the cosmological evolution of a D3-brane Universe in a type 0 string background. We follow the brane-universe along the radial coordinate of the background and we calculate the energy density which is induced on the brane because of its motion in the bulk. We find that for some typical values of the parameters and for a particular range of values of the scale factor of the brane-universe, the effective energy density is dominated by a term proportional to $\frac{1}{(loga)^{4}}$ indicating a slow varying inflationary phase. For larger values of the scale factor the effective energy density takes a constant value and the brane-universe enters its usual inflationary period.

description: We developed a technique that enables to replace a metallic waveguide cladding with a low-index (n $\sim$ 1.4) material - CaF2 or BaF2 - that in addition is transparent from the mid-IR up to the visible range: elevated confinement is preserved while introducing an optical entryway through the substrate. Replacing the metallic backplane also allows double-side patterning of the active region. Using this approach, we demonstrate strong light-matter coupling between an intersubband transition (lambda $\sim$ 10 microns) and a dispersive resonator, at 300 K and at 78 K. Finally, we evaluate the potential of this approach as a platform for waveguiding in the mid-IR spectral range, with numerical simulations that reveal losses in the 1-10 cm$^{-1}$ range.

description: We report 0.9-1.4 micron spectroscopic observations of NGC1068 collected during the commissioning phase of the near infrared camera spectrometer (NICS) of the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG). These yielded the first extragalactic measurement of [PII] (1.188 micron) line emission. In the central 0.75"x2" the [FeII]/[PII] line-intensity ratio is close to unity, similar to that measured in the Orion bar and a factor of about 20 smaller than in supernova remnants. This indicates that most of iron is locked into grains and, therefore, argues against shock excitation being the primary origin of [FeII] line emission in the central regions of NGC1068. We propose the [FeII]/[PII] ratio as a simple and effective tool to study and perhaps resolve the long debated questions related to the origin of [FeII] line emission and, more generally, to constrain the role of shock excitation in active galaxies.

description: In the Netherlands, about five percent children receive some type of youth care. This is governed by the Youth Care Act, whereby children and parents get support for problems which may arise in the process of child development or parenting. Inadequate parenting is the reason given for admission to residential care in approximately 70 percent of cases (Knorth & Van der Ploeg, 1994). Research demonstrates that it is helpful for a child if parents are actively involved in the youth care process. The Netherlands has facilities called 'multifunctional youth care organisations'. These are organisations which offer a range of services such as non residential care, day-care, and residential care. One such organisation called STEK developed a method called 'Child and Youth Care in Context' (CYC). This method builds on the idea of secure base and ensures that parents maintain the responsibility for the upbringing of their child and that they have a say in arrangements in the youth care process. This paper will present an overview of evidence encouraging family centred approaches, describe the CYC method and outline findings of a study carried out on its effectiveness.

description: Gallium-nitride (GaN) is a promising material platform for integrated electro-optic devices due to its wide direct bandgap, pronounced nonlinearities and high optical damage threshold. Low-loss ridge waveguides in GaN layers were recently demonstrated. In this work we provide a first report of four-wave mixing in a GaN waveguide at telecommunication wavelengths, and observe comparatively high nonlinear propagation parameters. The nonlinear coefficient of the waveguide is measured as 1.6 +/- 0.45 [W*m]-1, and the corresponding third-order nonlinear parameter of GaN is estimated as 3.4e-18 +/- 1e-18 [m^2/W]. The results suggest that GaN waveguides could be instrumental in nonlinear-optical signal processing applications.

description: Using Monte Carlo simulations, we study the properties of an elastic triangular lattice subject to a random background potential. As the cooling rate is reduced, we observe a rather sudden crossover between two different glass phases, one with exponential decay of correlations, the other with power-law decay. Contrary to predictions derived from continuum models, no evidence of a crossover in the mean-square displacement, B(r), from quadratic growth at small r, to logarithmic growth at large r is found.

description: Using exact expressions for the persistence probability and for the leading eigenvalue of the Focker-Planck operator of a random walk in a random environment we establish a fundamental relation between the statistical properties of anomalous diffusion and the critical and off-critical behavior of random quantum spin chains. Many new exact results are obtained from this correspondence including the space and time correlations of surviving random walks and the distribution of the gaps of the corresponding Focker-Planck operator. In turn we derive analytically the dynamical exponent of the random transverse-field Ising spin chain in the Griffiths-McCoy region.

description: This article reflects on the use of one type of therapy, called Theraplay, in building attachments in residential child care in one agency in Finland. The purpose is to examine the role of this therapy in helping to heal relationships in the residential centre before the child moves on to a foster home. Nikinharjun kuntayhtyma is a joint municipal authority in Hyvinkaa in Southern Finland. Nikinharju Child Care Centre has two units for short-term placements and assessment. Other services provided by the centre include family work, both within and outwith the centre, therapy services like Theraplay, music therapy and family therapy, supported living services for adolescents and a crisis residential service. The philosophy of the centre is based on attachment theory (Bowlby, 1988) but different approaches including psychodynamic and short term therapeutic approaches are also available depending on the situation of the child.
