description: We analyze energy exchanges between a qubit and a resonant field propagating in a waveguide. The joint dynamics is analytically solved within a repeated interaction model. The work received by the qubit is defined as the unitary component of the field-induced energy change. Using the same definition for the field, we show that both work flows compensate each other. Focusing on the charging of a qubit battery by a pulse of light, we evidence that the work provided by a coherent field is an upper bound for the qubit ergotropy, while this bound can be violated by non-classical fields, e.g. a coherent superposition of zero- and single-photon states. Our results provide operational, energy-based witnesses to probe the non-classical nature of a light field.

description: We study the discovery reach for Non-Standard Interactions (NSIs) in a neutrino factory experiment. After giving a theoretical, but model-independent, overview of the most relevant classes of NSIs, we present detailed numerical results for some of them. Our simulations take into account matter effects, uncertainties in the neutrino oscillation parameters, systematical errors, parameter correlations, and degeneracies. We perform scans of the parameter space, and show that a neutrino factory has excellent prospects of detecting NSIs originating from new physics at around 1 TeV, which is a scale favored by many extensions of the standard model. It will also turn out that the discovery reach depends strongly on the standard and non-standard CP violating phases in the Lagrangian.

Επιπλέον, η παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζει κατά πόσο η βιομηχανία μόδας βασίζεται στην προώθηση και κατασκευή μιας απατηλής αίσθησης αυτοεκπλήρωσης μέσω της προβολής εξιδανικευμένων μοντέλων εμφάνισης. Επιπλέον, εξετάζεται η κατασκευασιμότητα της δημόσιας εικόνας η οποία οδηγεί στην αμφισβήτηση και πολλές φορές στον εκμηδενισμό της ανθρώπινης υπόστασης καθώς και στην εμπορευματοποίηση της οποιασδήποτε «ηθικής».
description: Αγγλική Περίληψη The present thesis aims to comment on the influence exerted on human identity by the large entertainment industries in the U.S. in the 1990s leading to the emergence of a consumerist-driven behavior as evidenced in Bret Easton Ellis’s Glamorama (1998) and Jay McInerney’s Model Behaviour (1998). In particular, in these two novels emphasis is placed on the behavior and attitude of the youth of the time as this is formulated by the images mass media construct. Attention is paid to the role advertisement plays as a means of reproduction of reality and doubting of truth. In addition, this thesis focuses on the reliance of the fashion industry on the promotion and construction of an illusive sense of self-fulfillment via the projection of the models’ fake appearance. Moreover, what is examined here is the constructedness of the public image which leads to the questioning of human identity, and quite often to its own destruction, as well as to the commercialization of any sense of «morality».
An Empirical UBVRIJHK Color-Temperature Calibration for Stars

description: A collection of Johnson/Cousins photometry for stars with known [Fe/H] is used to generate color-color relations that include the abundance dependence. Literature temperature and bolometric correction dependences are attached to the color relations. The main result of this work is the tabulation of seven colors and the V-band bolometric correction as a function of Teff, log g, and [Fe/H] for -1.06 < V-K < 10.2 and an accompanying interpolation program. Improvements to the present calibration would involve filling photometry gaps, obtaining more accurate and on-system photometry, knowing better log g and [Fe/H] values, improving the statistics for data-impoverished groups of stars such as K dwarfs, applying small tweaks in the processing pipeline, and obtaining better empirical temperature and bolometric correction relations, especially for supergiants and M stars. A way to estimate dust extinction from M dwarf colors is pointed out.

Ruin Imagery and the Iconography of Regeneration in Eighteenth Century French Art
Creators: name: Whitney, Stephen Henry
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 1977

description: While the extraordinary popularity of ruin imagery in
eighteenth century France is well known to art historians, it
has remained a largely unstudied, and thus misunderstood,
cultural phenomenon. The profusion of ruin pictures and
ruinous garden pavilions during the Enlightenment is generally
interpreted as symptomatic of the emotional febrility and
escapist perversity of a society bogged down in decadence.
The popularity of ruins as motifs of interior decoration is
taken as proof of the reign of rococo frivolity.
The present study seeks to bring into focus how eighteenth
century artists, connoisseurs and writers themselves
felt about their ruin imagery. This examination is called
for because the evidence of documents, literary sources and
the art itself overwhelmingly suggests that ruins were considered
to be symbolic of nature's regenerative vitality and
wholesomeness. To the contemporary viewer, therefore, the
experience of a ruin was an antidote to, not a symptom of,
social and personal lethargy.
Early signs of the new iconographical trends appear in
the art of students at the French Academy in Rome and were
probably influenced by the commitments to ecclesiastical and
cultural reform expressed by Italian ruinists associated with
the academy. Ruins had a longstanding association in visual
imagery and literature with the contemplative life, intellectual
insights and poetic inspiration; in the eighteenth century,
to frequent ruin settings implied a rejection of hypocrisy,
pomposity and spiritual complacency.
In France, catastrophes, urban renewal projects and the
Revolution created "fresh" ruins which, even more poignantly
than ancient ruins, illustrated the transience of life.
Images of these modern ruins clearly embodied the unstable
blend of anxiety, excitement, hope and resignation with which
French society watched the shirlwind of change sweeping their
country toward the year 1800.

Generation of Type I X-ray Burst Oscillations by Unstable Surface Modes
Creators: name: Narayan, Ramesh
name: Cooper, Randall L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer has detected nearly coherent oscillations in the tails of type I X-ray bursts from 17 low-mass X-ray binaries. The oscillations are thought to be generated by brightness fluctuations associated with a surface mode on the rotating neutron star. The mechanism that drives the modes is, however, not understood, since the burning layer is stable to thermal perturbations. We show here via a linear perturbation analysis that, even under conditions when pure thermal perturbations are stable, nonradial surface modes may still be unstable by the epsilon mechanism. Specifically, we find that, if helium-burning reactions supply a reasonable fraction of the outgoing flux during burst decay, nonradial surface modes will grow in time. On the other hand, the same modes are likely to be stable in the presence of hydrogen burning via the rp-process. The results naturally explain why oscillations in the decay phase of type I X-ray bursts are detected only from short-duration bursts.

The library systematically accounts for the renormalization group evolution of low-scale short-distance masses which depend linearly on the renormalization scale and sums logarithmic terms of high and low scales that are missed by the common logarithmic renormalization scale evolution. The library can also be accessed through Mathematica and Python interfaces and provides renormalization group evolution for complex renormalization scales as well.

description: This article discusses the legal regulation of the real estate rental market. The article presents the fundamental concepts that are subject to legal regulation. The current legislation in the sphere of regulation of relations in the real estate rental market was also reviewed. Among the variety of the reviewed regulatory acts, the laws that directly regulate the residential real estate market (Federal laws and regulations) and indirect laws (laws and regulations of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation) were highlighted. The classification of laws and regulations governing the real estate market is given. Examples of organizational and legal mechanisms of state regulation of the real estate market and mechanisms of regulation and economic regulation in real estate markets are given. The participation of three state structures in examples of the distribution of their activities within the framework of organizational, legal and organizational control mechanisms in real estate markets is shown. The study concluded that the legal regulation of the real estate rental market is one of the basic functions of the state, which has the most important influence on the volume of real estate construction and behavioral characteristics of market participants: sellers, buyers, intermediaries, etc.
The Planet Host Star Gamma Cephei: Physical Properties, the Binary Orbit, and the Mass of the Substellar Companion
Creators: name: Torres, Guillermo

Year: 2006

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The bright K1 III-IV star gamma Cep has been reported previously to have a companion in a 2.5-yr orbit that is possibly substellar, and also has a stellar companion at a larger separation that has never been seen. Here we determine for the first time the three-dimensional orbit of the stellar companion accounting also for the perturbation from the closer object. We combine new and existing radial velocity measurements (of both classical precision and high precision) with intermediate astrometric data from the Hipparcos mission (abscissa residuals) as well as ground-based positional observations going back more than a century. The orbit of the secondary star is eccentric and has a period of 66.8 yr. We establish the primary star to be on the first ascent of the giant branch, and to have a mass of 1.18 M_Sun, an effective temperature of 4800 K, and an age around 6.6 Gyr (for an assumed metallicity [Fe/H] = +0.01). The unseen secondary star is found to be an M4 dwarf with a mass of 0.362 M_Sun, and is expected to be about 6.4 mag fainter than the primary in K. The minimum mass of the putative planetary companion is M_p sin i = 1.43 M_Jup. Taking advantage again of the high-precision Hipparcos observations we are able to place a dynamical upper limit on this mass of 13.3 M_Jup (95% confidence level) and 16.9 M_Jup (99.73%, or 3 sigma) thus confirming that it is indeed substellar in nature.

description: Building on previous work [N. Read, Phys. Rev. B 58, Z. Dong and T. Senthil, 16262 (1998); Phys. Rev. B 102, 205126 (2020)] on the system of bosons at filling factor $ν= 1$, we derive the Dirac composite fermion theory for a half-filled Landau level from first principles and applying the Hartree-Fock approach in a preferred representation. On the basis of the microscopic formulation, in the long-wavelength limit, we propose a noncommutative field-theoretical description, which in a commutative limit reproduces the Son's theory, with additional terms that may be expected on physical grounds. The microscopic representation of the problem is also used to discuss pairing instabilities of composite fermions. We find that a presence of a particle-hole symmetry breaking leads to a weak (BCS) coupling $p$-wave pairing in the lowest Landau level, and strong coupling $p$-wave pairing in the second Landau level that occurs in a band with nearly flat dispersion, a third power function of momentum.

description: We study the dynamics of colliding domain walls including self-gravity. The initial data is set up by applying a BPS domain wall in five-dimensional supergravity, and we evolve the system determining the final outcome of collisions. After a collision, a spacelike curvature singularity covered by a horizon is formed in the bulk, resulting in a black brane with trapped domain walls. This is a generic consequence of collisions, except for non-relativistic weak field cases, in which the walls pass through one another or multiple bounces take place without singularity formation. These results show that incorporating the self-gravity drastically changes a naive picture of colliding branes.

The most well-known case is where this number is greater than Aleph_0, i.e. the property is sigma-additive. We give a rather complete survey of the known results about the additivity numbers of a variety of topological covering properties, including those appearing in the Scheepers diagram (which contains, among others, the classical properties of Menger, Hurewicz, Rothberger, and Gerlits-Nagy). Some of the results proved here were not published beforehand, and many open problems are posed.

description:
Automated bioimage analysis is required for reproducible and efficient extraction of information out of time-lapse microscopy data when investigating the in vivo dynamics of complex biological processes.

We developed a comprehensive workflow solution, based on our R/Bioconductor package flowcatchR. Our solution specifically addresses the challenges of
blood cell flow data, where cells show dynamic behaviors, classified e.g. into states such as flowing, rolling and adhering. Analysis of the corresponding fast movements is further complicated by cells entering and leaving the field of view, and transitions in and out of focus.

Subject matter knowledge is incorporated for making analysis feasible. Specifically, we developed a penalty function for a cell tracking algorithm to take into account the directionality of the flowing cells.

The construction of our workflow solution, based on an R package implementing the algorithms, a Shiny App, and Jupyter notebooks, may also serve as a good example of how to bridge the gap between sophisticated analysis tools available and end-user requirements in other bioimaging applications.

In particular, we also address deployment to cooperation partners by custom- made Docker containers that provide a fully operative environment where the necessary libraries and dependencies are already provided and ready for use, in a way that is easily accessible to a broad range of life scientists.
Region based urbanization in Bangkok’s extended periphery
Creators: name: Greenberg, Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Bangkok’s expansion and population increase are both causes and consequences of rapid economic transformation and growth. In this light, the study examines the synergic conditions that are operating in the Bangkok region, that define the relationship between economic growth and spatial expansion. What is emerging is a chaotic tapestry of an urban and rural landscape which reflects a bonanza form of development and has accelerated in the last ten years. Moreover, there is evidence supporting an urban form that is emerging at Bangkok’s edge, extending up to 100 kilometres from the central city, which is neither city nor countryside. It is a settlement system characterised by an intense land use mix, where agriculture, industry, housing, and recreation all inflect upon each other. Within this region there has been a shift of labour from farm to off-farm sectors within the strictly defined rural areas. The dissertation argues for a new set of definitions to account for an extended urban settlement pattern which is sensitive to the prevailing heterogeneous space economy. The term Region Based Urbanization (RBU) is introduced to describe the phenomena in a region with 14 million people, now known as the Extended Bangkok Metropolitan Region (EBMR). Aside from affirming RBU as the predominant settlement form in the EBMR, there are three notable conclusions to this study: (i) Since the mid-nineteenth century diverse and disparate forms of dominant capital have contributed to outer city development. (ii) As the region diversifies, and further affirms its economic primacy within Thailand there is indication of increasing disparities and uneven development among socio-economic classes. (iii) There is empirical support to challenge traditional rural-urban transition models. Outer areas of the EBMR, which are defined as ‘rural’, are not only ‘holding’ population, but are the destination of a large migration from peripheral regions of the Kingdom.

description: BioJS is an open-source, JavaScript-based biological data visualization library. The development of BioJS has been prompted by the growing need for bioinformatics visualisation tools to be shared, reused and discovered. At its core BioJS features an open, inclusive framework to integration of new visualization code (called components) that can easily be combined to create rich and interactive applications. Components can be quickly discovered on the BioJS registry, a searchable and highly descriptive repository that highlights a component usefulness by using a star rating system and a download counter. Applying a modern set of best practices, BioJS makes the process of releasing new components and deploying them to the end user fast and easy. This in turn allows users with only basic computer skills the ability to download BioJS components and use those to inspect and present biological data. Among the 89 currently published (and ready to be used on the web) components, the BioJS library already incorporates a set of commonly used components such as a Cytoscape network viewer, 3D molecule viewer, Multiple Sequence Alignment viewer, Heat map viewer, Phylogenetic tree and BAM file viewers. Some notable bioinformatics resources that have already integrated BioJS components include UniProt, ENSEMBL, PredictProtein, ApiNATOMY and the Galaxy project. Finally, BioJS is also an international community of open source developers that organizes workshops, tutorials, hackathons and participates as a mentoring organization in the Google Summer of Code program.

The Docker project makes installing, running and reproducing the output of an application easier because all the dependencies can be provided by creating a "container" of the application. The bioboxes project furthers this concept by creating an interface standard so that containerised software of the same biobox type can be seamlessly interchanged. Feedback and contributions of new biobox interfaces are managed using the Github issue system. Bioboxes provides documentation and software to help developers follow this standard. The bioboxes.org website provides instructions and guide on how to build a biobox. We also provide a validator tool that tests whether a container follows a biobox interface and thereby helps the developer create their own bioboxes. Furthermore we provide bioboxes in Github and our public Docker Hub repository for download and use.

Researchers with a whole selection of bioboxes at their fingertips can comprehensively evaluate many similar tools that have the same interface and improve the quality of their research. A system of well-defined bioboxes is an important step towards the making provenance easier and research more shareable and reproducible.

description: A direct measure of hydrogen bonding in water under conditions ranging from the normal state to the supercritical regime is derived from the Compton scattering of inelastically-scattered X-rays. First, we show that a measure of the number of electrons $n_e$ involved in hydrogen bonding at varying thermodynamic conditions can be directly obtained from Compton profile differences. Then, we use first-principles simulations to provide a connection between $n_e$ and the number of hydrogen bonds $n_{HB}$. Our study shows that over the broad range studied the relationship between $n_e$ and $n_{HB}$ is linear, allowing for a direct experimental measure of bonding and coordination in water. In particular, the transition to supercritical state is characterized by a sharp increase in the number of water monomers, but also displays a significant number of residual dimers and trimers.

description: Using a dictionary translating a variety of classical and modern covering properties into combinatorial properties of continuous images, we get a simple way to understand the interrelations between these properties in ZFC and in the realm of the trichotomy axiom for upward closed families of sets of natural numbers. While it is now known that the answer to the Hurewicz 1927 problem is positive, it is shown here that semifilter trichotomy implies a negative answer to a slightly weaker form of this problem.

Η ιδέα της μεθόδου HSG εξετάστηκε στη μία διάσταση και στις δύο διαστάσεις. Παρουσιάστηκε αναλυτικά ο αλγόριθμος της μεθόδου για τον TEz τρόπο στην FDTD. Ακολούθως παρουσιάστηκαν οι βασικές μεταβλητές του προγράμματος που χρησιμοποιήθηκε για την υλοποίηση του αλγορίθμου και η λογική πίσω από τον ορισμό και τη χρήση τους. Περιγράφηκαν δύο πειράματα ελέγχου της εγκυρότητας της μεθόδου και συγκρίθηκαν τα αποτελέσματά τους με λύσεις αναφοράς. Τέλος, αναφέρθηκαν οι βασικές εφαρμογές της μεθόδου και τα πλεονεκτήματα και τα μειονεκτήματά της μεθόδου.
description: The purpose of the present thesis was the test of the validity (that is, the test of the stability and accuracy) of the 2-dimensional Huygens Subgridding technique (HSG) applied to the TEz mode of the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method of Computational Electromagne-tism. The idea behind the HSG method was studied in the 1-dimensional and the 2-dimensional case. The algorithm of the method was analytically presented for the TEz mode of the FDTD. Afterwards, the basic variables of the computer program employed for the materialization of the algorithm were presented as well as the rationale behind their definition and their use. Two experiments testing the validity of the aforementioned method were then described, and their results were compared to reference solutions. Last but not least, basic implementations of the method as well as its pros and cons were stated.

Aging in One-Dimensional Coagulation-Diffusion Processes and the Fredrickson-Andersen Model

name: Sollich, Peter
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyse the aging dynamics of the one-dimensional Fredrickson-Andersen (FA) model in the nonequilibrium regime following a low temperature quench. Relaxation then effectively proceeds via diffusion limited pair coagulation (DLPC) of mobility excitations. By employing a familiar stochastic similarity transformation, we map exact results from the free fermion case of diffusion limited pair annihilation to DLPC. Crucially, we are able to adapt the mapping technique to averages involving multiple time quantities. This relies on knowledge of the explicit form of the evolution operators involved. Exact results are obtained for two-time correlation and response functions in the free fermion DLPC process. The corresponding long-time scaling forms apply to a wider class of DLPC processes, including the FA model. We are thus able to exactly characterise the violations of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) in the aging regime of the FA model. We find nontrivial scaling forms for the fluctuation-dissipation ratio (FDR) X = X(tw/t), but with a negative asymptotic value X = -3*pi/(6*pi - 16) = -3.307. While this prevents a thermodynamic interpretation in terms of an effective temperature, it is a direct consequence of probing FDT with observables that couple to activated dynamics. The existence of negative FDRs should therefore be a widespread feature in non mean-field systems.
