description: We propose a new framework for gesture generation, aiming to allow data-driven approaches to produce more semantically rich gestures. Our approach first predicts whether to gesture, followed by a prediction of the gesture properties. Those properties are then used as conditioning for a modern probabilistic gesture-generation model capable of high-quality output. This empowers the approach to generate gestures that are both diverse and representational.

description: The aim of the current dissertation is, through focusing on Greek journalists, to analyze how social media and Web 2.0 change the way news is gathered, reported, consumed and distributed as well as what this means for the future of news and journalism in Greece. This paper will focus especially on contextualizing the Greek Crisis and the media environment in Greece. Moreover, the study will attempt to investigate the impact of new technologies and investigate to what extent Greek journalists have incorporated them into their work. In addition, we will examine the transformative character of journalism drawing on the journalism culture theory proposed by Thomas Hanitzsch (2007), and focusing on Greek journalism culture. This qualitative study is based on the Worlds of Journalism Study (WJS), with focuses on the role of the Greek journalists, perceived influences and editorial autonomy

description: Six heterotrinuclear complexes, Ni[C5H2NBr{N = COC6H3C≡C(trans-Ru(dppe)2)C≡CC6H4R}2 (1a–c) and Zn[C5H2NBr{N = COC6H3C≡C(trans-Ru(dppe)2)C≡CC6H4R}2] (2a–c), have been prepared by reaction of [(OH)(COH)C6H3C≡C(trans-Ru(dppe)2)C≡CC6H4R] (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane; R = H, NO2, OCH3) with nickel acetate or zinc acetate, followed by addition of 2,3-diamino-5-bromopyridine. Our synthetic efforts are discussed along with spectroscopic and electronic characterization of the compounds. The complexes were studied by thermal and electrochemical analyses. They are thermally robust and show quasireversible redox events attributed to Ru(II)/Ru(III) and Ni (II)/Ni(III) couples for 1a–c and Ru(II)/Ru(III) couples for 2a–c. All complexes are luminescent, emitting in the blue-green region at room temperature. Their emission is influenced by substituents and the π-acidic character of the coordinated groups. Second harmonic generation efficiencies of the complexes were measured by the Kurtz powder technique, indicating that all complexes are promising for applications as nonlinear optical materials.

description: What is the role of topology in the propagation of quantum light in photonic lattices? We address this question by studying the propagation of squeezed states in a topological one-dimensional waveguide array, benchmarking our results with those for a topologically trivial localized state, and studying their robustness against disorder. Specifically, we study photon statistics, one-mode and two-mode squeezing, and entanglement generation when the localized state is excited with squeezed light. These quantum properties inherit the shape of the localized state but, more interestingly, and unlike in the topologically trivial case, we find that propagation of squeezed light in a topologically protected state robustly preserves the phase of the squeezed quadrature as the system evolves. We show how this latter topological advantage can be harnessed for quantum information protocols.

description: We are developing a consistent method to combine tree-level event generators for hadron collision interactions with those including one additional QCD radiation from the initial-state partons, based on the limited leading-log (LLL) subtraction method, aiming at an application to NLO event generators. In this method, a boundary between non-radiative and radiative processes necessarily appears at the factorization scale (mu_F). The radiation effects are simulated using a parton shower (PS) in non-radiative processes. It is therefore crucial in our method to apply a PS which well reproduces the radiation activities evaluated from the matrix-element (ME) calculations for radiative processes. The PS activity depends on the applied kinematics model. In this paper we introduce two models for our simple initial-state leading-log PS: a model similar to the "old" PYTHIA-PS and a p_T-prefixed model motivated by ME calculations. PS simulations employing these models are tested using W-boson production at LHC as an example. Both simulations show a smooth matching to the LLL-subtracted W + 1 jet simulation in the p_T distribution of W bosons, and the summed p_T spectra are stable against a variation of mu_F, despite that the p_T-prefixed PS results in an apparently harder p_T spectrum.

description: The kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of hydrazine by [RuIII(pic)3] (pic- = picolinate anion) were studied spectrophotometrically as a function of hydrazine concentrations at a constant pH of 5.5. The rate of the reaction was followed by monitoring the appearance of the MLCT band of [RuII(pic)3]- at 466 nm. The reaction rate was found to be first-order for Ru(III)-complex concentration. The observed rate constant (kobs) values increased linearly with increase in the hydrazine concentration. The oxidation reaction was studied at varied temperature (20–40 °C). The ΔH≠ (73 ± 3 kJ mol−1 kJ·mol−1) and the negative ΔS≠ (34 ± 7 J·deg−1mol−1) values are consistent with the proposed outer-sphere electron transfer process operative in the oxidation of hydrazine with [RuIII(pic)3]. A working mechanism involving the formation of an active diazene (HN = NH) intermediate followed by its rapid two-electron oxidation by [RuIII(pic)3] in a kinetically inconsequential step producing N2 as sole product is proposed for an overall four-electron oxidation of hydrazine to dinitrogen.

description: We study the unidirectional magnetoresistance (UMR) and the nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE) in the ferromagnetic Rashba model. For this purpose we derive expressions to describe the response of the electric current quadratic in the applied electric field. We compare two different formalisms, namely the standard Keldysh nonequilibrium formalism and the Moyal-Keldysh formalism, to derive the nonlinear conductivities of UMR and NLHE. We find that both formalisms lead to identical numerical results when applied to the ferromagnetic Rashba model. The UMR and the NLHE nonlinear conductivities tend to be comparable in magnitude according to our calculations. Additionally, their dependencies on the Rashba parameter and on the quasiparticle broadening are similar. The nonlinear zero-frequency response considered here is several orders of magnitude higher than the one at optical frequencies that describes the photocurrent generation in the ferromagnetic Rashba model. Additionally, we compare our Keldysh nonequilibrium expression in the independent-particle approximation to literature expressions of the UMR that have been obtained within the constant relaxation time approximation of the Boltzmann formalism. We find that both formalisms converge to the same analytical formula in the limit of infinite relaxation time. However, remarkably, we find that the Boltzmann result does not correspond to the intraband term of the Keldysh expression. Instead, the Boltzmann result corresponds to the sum of the intraband term and an interband term that can be brought into the form of an effective intraband term due to the f-sum rule.

Το δείγμα της έρευνας αποτέλεσαν δεκατέσσερα παιδιά Ε’ και ΣΤ’ τάξεων δημοτικού σχολείου, που συμμετείχαν σε ένα θεατροπαιδαγωγικό εργαστήρι διάρκειας δώδεκα συναντήσεων, μιάμισης ώρας, στη Δημόσια Κεντρική Βιβλιοθήκη Σερρών. Για τη συλλογή των δεδομένων χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ερωτηματολόγια αυτοαναφοράς, που συμπληρώθηκαν από τα παιδιά στην αρχή και στο τέλος του εργαστηρίου, καθώς και στοιχεία από την παρατήρηση της ερευνήτριας και από το «αναστοχαστικό ημερολόγιο» που συμπληρώθηκε από τα παιδιά με την ολοκλήρωση του εργαστηρίου. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας έδειξαν ότι βελτιώθηκε η αυτοαντίληψη των συμμετεχόντων, τόσο ως προς το σύνολό της, όσο και ως προς τις επιμέρους διαστάσεις της, τη σχολική ικανότητα, τις σχέσεις με τους συνομηλίκους, την αθλητική ικανότητα, τη φυσική εμφάνιση, τη διαγωγή-συμπεριφορά και την αυτοεκτίμηση. Επιπλέον, προέκυψαν αλλαγές στην προσωπική ανάπτυξη των συμμετεχόντων σε πνευματικό, συναισθηματικό, κοινωνικό και καλλιτεχνικό επίπεδο, καθώς τα παιδιά γνώρισαν τον εαυτό τους, βελτίωσαν τις σχέσεις τους με τους συνομηλίκους τους, ανέπτυξαν τη φαντασία και τη δημιουργικότητά τους και αξιοποίησαν τον ελεύθερό τους χρόνο.
description: The aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of drama/theatre pedagogy on self-perception, self-esteem and personal development of pre-adolescence children. The research sample included fourteen primary school students from the fifth and sixth grade, who participated in a twelve meetings drama/theatre pedagogy workshop, one and a half hours, at the Public Central Library of Serres. For data collection self-referred questionnaires were used, completed by the children at the beginning and end of the workshop. Also data from the researcher's observation and the “reflective journal” were used, completed by the children at the end of the workshop. The results of the research showed that participants' self-perception was improved both in total and in their individual dimensions, school ability, relationships with peers, athletic ability, physical appearance, conduct-behavior and self-esteem. Furthermore, changes occurred in the participants’ personal development at the spiritual, emotional, social and artistic level, as the children became aware of themselves, improved their relationships with their peers, developed their imagination and creativity and exploited their free time.

description: We present the first K'-band, long-baseline interferometric observations of the northern Be stars gamma Cas, phi Per, zeta Tau, and kappa Dra. The measurements were made with multiple telescope pairs of the CHARA Array interferometer, and in every case the observations indicate that the circumstellar disks of the targets are resolved. We fit the interferometric visibilities with predictions from a simple disk model that assumes an isothermal gas in Keplerian rotation. We derive fits of the four model parameters (disk base density, radial density exponent, disk normal inclination, and position angle) for each of the targets. The resulting densities are in broad agreement with prior studies of the IR excess flux and the resulting orientations generally agree with those from interferometric H-alpha and continuum polarimetric observations. We find that the angular size of the K' disk emission is smaller than that determined for the H-alpha emission, and we argue that the difference is the result of a larger H-alpha opacity and the relatively larger neutral hydrogen fraction with increasing disk radius. All the targets are known binaries with faint companions, and we find that companions appear to influence the interferometric visibilities in the cases of phi Per and kappa Dra. We also present contemporaneous observations of the H-alpha, H-gamma, and Br-gamma emission lines. Synthetic model profiles of these lines that are based on the same disk inclination and radial density exponent as derived from the CHARA Array observations match the observed emission line strength if the disk base density is reduced by approximately 1.7 dex.

description: Using the latest data pertaining to \bar u-\bar d asymmetry and the spin polarization functions, detailed implications of the possible values of the coupling strength of the singlet Goldstone boson η' have been investigated in the \chiCQM with configuration mixing. Using Δu, Δ_3, \bar u-\bar d and \bar u/\bar d, the possible ranges of the coupling parameters a, α^2 a, β^2 a and ζ^2 a, representing respectively the probabilities of fluctuations to pions, K, ηand η^{'}, are found. To further constrain the coupling strength of η', detailed fits have been obtained for spin polarization functions, quark distribution functions and baryon octet magnetic moments. The fits clearly establish that a small non-zero value of the coupling of η' is preferred over the higher values of $η'$ as well as when ζ=0, the latter implying the absence of η' from the dynamics of \chiCQM. Our best fit achieves an overall excellent fit to the data, in particular for Δu, Δd, Δ_8 as well as the magnetic moments μ_{n}, μ_{Σ^-}, μ_{Σ^+} and μ_{Ξ^-}. The implications of η' on the gluon polarization have also been investigated.

description: Jerne's idiotypic network theory postulates that the immune response involves inter-antibody stimulation and suppression as well as matching to antigens. The theory has proved the most popular Artificial Immune System (ais) model for incorporation into behavior-based robotics but guidelines for implementing idiotypic selection are scarce. Furthermore, the direct effects of employing the technique have not been demonstrated in the form of a comparison with non-idiotypic systems. This paper aims to address these issues. A method for integrating an idiotypic ais network with a Reinforcement Learning based control system (rl) is described and the mechanisms underlying antibody stimulation and suppression are explained in detail. Some hypotheses that account for the network advantage are put forward and tested using three systems with increasing idiotypic complexity. The basic rl, a simplified hybrid ais-rl that implements idiotypic selection independently of derived concentration levels and a full hybrid ais-rl scheme are examined. The test bed takes the form of a simulated Pioneer robot that is required to navigate through maze worlds detecting and tracking door markers.

description: Following the same steps made for a scalar field in a parallel publication, we propose a class of perturbative theories of quantum gravity based on fractional operators, where the kinetic operator of the graviton is either made of fractional derivatives or a covariant fractional d'Alembertian. The classical action for each theory is constructed and the equations of motion are derived. Unitarity and renormalizability of theories with a fractional d'Alembertian are also considered. We argue that unitarity and power-counting renormalizability never coexist, although in some cases one-loop unitary and finiteness are possible. One of the theories is unitary and infrared-finite and can serve as a ghost-free model with large-scale modifications of general relativity.

Job transferability of Chinese immigrant women in Vancouver : their voices
Creators: name: Chiu, Siu-Miu Luda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The raising of immigration standards for entry into Canada in recent years has resulted in many Chinese immigrant women from Hong Kong being admitted as "independent applicants", on the strength of their academic standing, official language proficiency, and professional training. However, many of them are not able to access jobs for which they would seem to have the appropriate credentials. No studies have yet systematically examined the barriers these women face in the job market in Vancouver. A literature review shows two main approaches to the problems of immigrants adapting to life in their new country. The cultural approach concentrates on the effects of the immigrants' own culture on the adaptation process, and the cultural conflicts between the mainstream culture and the culture immigrants bring with them. The structural approach emphasizes the impact of the social structure of the host country on immigrants, and examines structural barriers which bar immigrants from moving upward in the labour market. The first approach concentrates on immigrants and their culture while the second focuses on the structural constraints experienced by immigrants. The present research argues that examining employment issues of immigrants from only one of these two approaches is inadequate. Both perspectives are important. other informal barriers which could not be categorized under these two approaches should not be ignored. This is a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews with 20 Chinese immigrant women from Hong Kong. The research problem is limited to the employment experiences, as well as to the meanings of events and processes, described by these women. The central questions are: (1) What do Chinese immigrant women who come as "independent applicants" experience in the workplace in Vancouver? (2) What does their work in Vancouver mean to them? And (3) What are the factors, in terms of cultural barriers, structural barriers or other elements, that affect these women in the process of job transferability? Suggestions to eliminate barriers are proposed, and recommendations for further studies are presented.

description: The synthesis of dinuclear carbene complexes from tetrakis-N-heterocyclic (NHC) and silver(I) ions has been achieved through molecular self-assembly. The reaction between 1,2,4,5-tetra(bromomethyl)benzene with four equivalents of N-substituted alkyl benzimidazole resulted in formation of various tetra-benzimidazolium salts, [H4L]·4Br- (1–5). Further reaction of the respective salts with Ag2O yielded mono tetra-NHC dinuclear silver(I) complexes, [Ag2L1]·2PF6 (6–10). The salts and their silver(I) complexes were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, FTIR, elemental analysis, molar conductivity, and UV–Visible spectroscopy. Structure elucidation from single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses data revealed that 10 is a dinuclear complex in a tweezer-like structure containing two silver(I) ions that are bridged by one tetra-carbene ligand with the cyclic aromatic backbone of the ligand perpendicular to the benzimidazolium moieties. Anticancer activities of the salts (1–5) and complexes (6–10) were studied, with Etoposide used as the positive control. Subsequently, 1 showed less activity at 24 h while all salts, 1–5, showed better activity at 48 h. The complexes (6–10) indicated moderate and better activity, which is higher compared to 1–5 and Etoposide, both within 24 and 48 h incubation periods.

description: Infectious diseases typically spread over a contact network with millions of individuals, whose sheer size is a tremendous challenge to analysing and controlling an epidemic outbreak. For some contact networks, it is possible to group individuals into clusters. A high-level description of the epidemic between a few clusters is considerably simpler than on an individual level. However, to cluster individuals, most studies rely on equitable partitions, a rather restrictive structural property of the contact network. In this work, we focus on Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemics, and our contribution is threefold. First, we propose a geometric approach to specify all networks for which an epidemic outbreak simplifies to the interaction of only a few clusters. Second, for the complete graph and any initial viral state vectors, we derive the closed-form solution of the nonlinear differential equations of the N-Intertwined Mean-Field Approximation (NIMFA) of the SIS process. Third, by relaxing the notion of equitable partitions, we derive low-complexity approximations and bounds for epidemics on arbitrary contact networks. Our results are an important step towards understanding and controlling epidemics on large networks.

description: We study how conserved quantities such as angular momentum and center of mass evolve with respect to the retarded time at null infinity, which is described in terms of a Bondi-Sachs coordinate system. These evolution formulae complement the classical Bondi mass loss formula for gravitational radiation. They are further expressed in terms of the potentials of the shear and news tensors. The consequences that follow from these formulae are (1) Supertranslation invariance of the fluxes of the CWY conserved quantities. (2) A conservation law of angular momentum à la Christodoulou. (3) A duality paradigm for null infinity. In particular, the supertranslation invariance distinguishes the CWY angular momentum and center of mass from the classical definitions.

description: It is investigated the reconstruction during the slow-roll inflation in the most general class of scalar-torsion theories whose Lagrangian density is an arbitrary function $f(T,ϕ)$ of the torsion scalar $T$ of teleparallel gravity and the inflaton $ϕ$. For the class of theories with Lagrangian density $f(T,ϕ)=-M_{pl}^{2} T/2 - G(T) F(ϕ) - V(ϕ)$, with $G(T)\sim T^{s+1}$ and the power $s$ as constant, we consider a reconstruction scheme for determining both the non-minimal coupling function $F(ϕ)$ and the scalar potential $V(ϕ)$ through the parametrization (or attractor) of the scalar spectral index $n_{s}(N)$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r(N)$ as functions of the number of $e-$folds $N$. As specific examples, we analyze the attractors $n_{s}-1 \propto 1/N$ and $r\propto 1/N$, as well as the case $r\propto 1/N (N+γ)$ with $γ$ a dimensionless constant. In this sense and depending on the attractors considered, we obtain different expressions for the function $F(ϕ)$ and the potential $V(ϕ)$, as also the constraints on the parameters present in our model and its reconstruction.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν να μελετήσουμε, μέσα από παραδείγματα, τη μεταφορά ιταλικών μυθιστορημάτων στον κινηματογράφο και να εξετάσουμε την πιστότητα ή απόκλιση των πολιτισμικών στοιχείων που εμπεριέχονται στο μυθιστόρημα κατα τη μεταφορά του στον κινηματογράφο. Έπειτα από μια σύντομη ιστορική αναδρομή στην ιταλική λογοτεχνία και τον ιταλικό κινηματογράφο, επιχειρήσαμε την αποσαφήνιση της έννοιας του πολιτισμού και της κουλτούρας. Στη συνέχεια αναλύσαμε τη μεθοδολογία που χρησιμοποιήθηκε για την ανάλυση των τεσσάρων μυθιστορημάτων και παρατηρήσαμε τη σχέση μεταξύ των δύο τεχνών. Τέλος, αφού εξηγήσαμε τα κριτήρια βάσει των οποίων επιλέχθηκαν τα συγκεκριμένα λογοτεχνικά έργα, παρατηρήσαμε τη μεταφορά τους στον κινηματογράφο ως προς τα πολιτισμικά στοιχεία που εμπεριέχουν και καταλήξαμε στα συμπεράσματα της διαδικασίας αυτής.
description: The aim of the present thesis was to study, through examples, the transfer of italian novels into cinema and to examine whether there was faithfulness or divergence in terms of cultural elements included in the novel by its transfer into film. After a short retrospect in italian literature and italian cinema, we attempted to clarify the concepts of civilisation and culture. Afterwards we presented the methodology used to analyze the four novels and we looked into the correlation between these two forms of art. In the end, after having explained the criteria on which we based our selection of the particular novels, we observed their transfer into film over the cultural elements they include and we eventually came to the conclusions of such procedure.

description: We prove explicit coercivity estimates for the linearized Boltzmann and Landau operators, for a general class of interactions including any inverse-power law interactions, and hard spheres. The functional spaces of these coercivity estimates depend on the collision kernel of these operators. They cover the spectral gap estimates for the linearized Boltzmann operator with Maxwell molecules, improve these estimates for hard potentials, and are the first explicit coercivity estimates for soft potentials (including in particular the case of Coulombian interactions). We also prove a regularity property for the linearized Boltzmann operator with non locally integrable collision kernels, and we deduce from it a new proof of the compactness of its resolvent for hard potentials without angular cutoff.

description: The Moore Penrose inverse of polynomial matrices finds numerous applications in control theory. Hence it is important to determine its algebraic structure and the interconnections between the original matrix and its Moore Penrose inverse. This thesis determines and proves analytically the connection between the algebraic structure of the Moore Penrose inverse of a matrix pencil in Kronecker canonical form and its Moore Penrose inverse. Furthermore contains a Mathematica package that allows the calculation of structural properties for rational matrices and the Moore Penrose inverse of any polynomial matrix.

description: Gas phase Elemental abundances in Molecular CloudS (GEMS) is an IRAM 30m Large Program designed to estimate the S, C, N, and O depletions and gas ionization degree, X(e-), in a set of star-forming filaments of Taurus, Perseus and Orion. Our immediate goal is to build up a complete database of molecular abundances that can serve as an observational basis for estimating X(e-) and the C, O, N, and S depletions through chemical modeling. We observed and derived the abundances of 14 species (13CO, C18O, HCO+, H13CO+, HC18O+, HCN, H13CN, HNC, HCS+, CS, SO, 34SO, H2S, and OCS) in 244 positions, covering the AV 3 to 100 mag, n(H2) a few 10$^{3}$ to 10$^6$ cm$^{-3}$, and Tk 10 to 30 K ranges in these clouds, avoiding protostars, HII regions, and outflows. A statistical analysis is carried out to identify general trends between different species and with physical parameters. Relations between molecules reveal strong linear correlations which define three different families: (1) 13CO and C18O; (2) H13CO+, HC18O+, H13CN, and HNC; and (3) the S-bearing molecules. The abundances of the CO isotopologs increase with the gas kinetic temperature until TK 15 K. For higher temperatures, the abundance remains constant with a scatter of a factor of 3. The abundances of H13CO+, HC18O+, H13CN, and HNC are well correlated with each other, and all of them decrease with molecular hydrogen density, following the law n(H2)$^{-0.8\pm0.2}$. The abundances of S-bearing species also decrease with n(H2) at a rate of (S-bearing/H)gas n(H2)$^{-0.6\pm0.1}$. The abundances of molecules belonging to groups 2 and 3 do not present any clear trend with gas temperature. At scales of molecular clouds, the C18O abundance is the quantity that better correlates with the cloud mass. We discuss the utility of the 13CO/C18O, HCO+/H13CO+, and H13CO+/H13CN abundance ratios as chemical diagnostics of star formation in external galaxies.

description: In this work, in vitro antibacterial and Leishmanicidal activities of a ligand and phthalocyanine derivatives (2, 3, 3a–3c and 4) were tested for six selected standard bacteria and one Leishmania species. The synthesis of fluorinated pyrazoline compound (2) was first carried out from a chalcone precursor (1). Then, peripherally tetra-substituted metallophthalocyanines (zinc(II) (3a), cobalt(II) (3b) and iron(II) (3c)) and axially di-substituted silicon(IV) (4) containing fluorinated pyrazoline groups were obtained. The characterizations of 2, 3, 3a–3c and 4 were performed by IR,1H and 13C NMR, MALDI-TOF-MS and UV-Vis spectra and elemental analyses. The antibacterial and Leishmanicidal activities of the pyrazoline and phthalocyanine compounds were investigated.
