description: Στην παρούσα εργασία ερευνούμε την συμβολή, αρχικά του Marcel Duchamp και στην συνέχεια του Joseph Beuys, στην επίτευξη μια νέας διαλογικότητας και συλλογικότητας στην τέχνη. Σημαντικό ρόλο παίζει η έννοια της μεταπαραγωγής, όπως την ορίζει ο γάλλος επιμελητής και ιστορικός τέχνης Nicolas Bourriaud στο ομώνυμο βιβλίο του. Όπως υπογραμμίζεται στην εργασία, η συμμετοχικότητα στην τέχνη είναι μια έννοια, η οποία αρχίζει να συζητείται και να εφαρμόζεται την δεκαετία του ’60, εξαπλώνεται την δεκαετία του ’90, έχει όμως τις απαρχές της στην ιστορική αβάν γκαρντ και το κίνημα του Ντανταϊσμού. Στην εργασία, επομένως, αναφερόμαστε στα τρία αυτά χρονικά σημεία, τα οποία έπαιξαν σημαντικό ρόλο στην γέννηση και εξέλιξη της συμμετοχικής τέχνης και ιδιαίτερα στους Duchamp και Beuys, δύο δημιουργούς που αμφισβήτησαν, διεύρυναν και επανασηματοδότησαν, ο καθένας με τον βαθιά προσωπικό του τρόπο, την έννοια της τέχνης. Λαμβάνοντας παράλληλα υπόψη τις βασικές ιδέες του Bourriaud, μελετάται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο οι δυο καλλιτέχνες επένδυσαν στην επίτευξη μια νέας οπτικής και διαλογικότητας στην τέχνη, στην δημιουργία ενός κοινού τόπου για την συνδιαλλαγή καλλιτέχνη και θεατή.
description: In the present thesis we investigate the contribution, first of Marcel Duchamp and then of Joseph Beuys, to the achievement of a new interactiveness and collectivity in art. The concept of postproduction plays an important role, as defined by the French curator and art historian Nicolas Bourriaud in his book of the same name. As underlined in this study, participation in art is a concept that begins to be discussed and applied in the 1960s, spreads in the 1990s, but has its origins in the historical avant-garde and the Dadaist movement.In the work, therefore, we refer to these three time points, which played an important role in the birth and evolution of participatory art and especially to Duchamp and Beuys, two creators who challenged, broadened and redefined, each in his own deeply personal way, the art concept.Taking into account the basic ideas of Bourriaud, this thesis examines the way in which the two artists invested in achieving a new perspective and interaction in art and creating a common place for the artist-spectator reconciliation.

description: As the business database stored and kept large amounts of mostly confidential business or personal information, often represent a great value for the organization in terms of business. This is the main reason business database requires a high degree of safety. Particular attention should be paid to protect them from malicious activities, from unauthorized access through the Internet as well as from malicious use by the employees themselves in the business system. System for safe management business databases are an important tool in raising their productivity. The ability to secure storage, access and management of data in such systems is becoming critical for any business system. For that reason, safety aspects of business databases are located in the center of information systems strategy of each company.

description: Environment education is an essential part of the educational process now days. The contemporary society is facing a crisis for over a period of years, and the near future does not show much chance of ending it. The issue of ecological crisis is mentioned along with the economical crisis, which the contemporary society faces, or is very close to facing it. Environment education has become incorporated into our teaching process just recently. The idea that the industrial systems should be under control of the living environment was not a part of theory or practice during most of the XX century. However, XXI century clearly shows that the issues of the living environment and the development cannot be separated, therefore the idea of substantial development has been developed in order to represent the sort of development needed to satisfy the needs of present times, and provide an idea for the future generations to satisfy their own needs. Without a proper environment education, a healthy environment would not exist as such. Every country strives for a better environment education. However, the environmental issues have not been dealt with by the politics of economical development. In many countries, the concept of the living environment is much younger than it is in our country, while the USA has developed its own agency for environment protection. Environment education is incorporated into the teaching process as an independent subject, depending on the age of students, including the extent to which ecological content is incorporated into the curriculum, taking into consideration the educational profile and the connection to science subjects and ecology.

Magnetoresistance Devices Based on Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: We demonstrate the physical principles for the construction of a nanometer sized magnetoresistance device based on the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The proposed device is made of a short single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) placed on a substrate and coupled to a tip. We consider conductance due to motion of electrons along the circumference of the tube (as opposed to motion parallel to its axis). We find that the circumference conductance is sensitive to magnetic fields threading the SWCNT due to the Aharonov-Bohm effect, and show that by retracting the tip, so that its coupling to the SWCNT is reduced, very high sensitivity to the threading magnetic field develops. This is due to the formation of a narrow resonance through which the tunneling current flows. Using a bias potential the resonance can be shifted to low magnetic fields, allowing the control of conductance with magnetic fields of the order of 1 Tesla.

description: Η υπεριώδης ακτινοβολία Β (UV-B) είναι ένας σημαντικός περιβαλλοντικός στρεσογόνος παράγοντας, ικανός να προκαλέσει σφάλματα στην εμβρυϊκή ανάπτυξη πολλών οργανισμών. Η ακτινοβολία UV-B μπορεί να είναι επιζήμια ή ακόμη και θανατηφόρα σε μικρά αρθρόποδα, όπως ακάρεα και μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως αποτελεσματική μέθοδος βιολογικής καταπολέμησής τους. Στην παρούσα μελέτη εξετάσαμε κάτω από ορισμένα επίπεδα UV-B, τα ποσοστά εκκόλαψης αυγών του αρπακτικού ακάρεως P. persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) και του κοινού Τετράνυχου T. urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). Διερευνήσαμε επίσης την επίδραση της ακτινοβολίας UV-B στην ακόλουθη διάρκεια ζωής και ωοπαραγωγή των θηλυκών που ακτινοβολήθηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια της εμβρυϊκής τους ανάπτυξης. Ο στόχος των πειραμάτων είναι να προσδιοριστούν οι διαφορές μεταξύ των μη ακτινοβολημένων και ακτινοβολημένων ατόμων κάθε είδους καθώς και να συγκριθούν τα δύο είδη σχετικά με την ανοχή τους στην ακτινοβολία UV-B. Τα αποτελέσματα της διατριβής θα μπορούσαν να συμβάλουν στον αποτελεσματικό έλεγχο του κοινού Τετράνυχου (T. urticae), με προσδιορισμό και χρησιμοποίηση των κατάλληλων δόσεων UV-B που δεν βλάπτουν τον φυσικό του εχθρό (P. persimilis).
description: Ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation is a major environmental stressor, able to induce errors in embryonic development of many organisms. UV-B radiation can be detrimental or even lethal to small arthropods like mites and may be used as an effective method for biological control. In the present study we examined under certain UV-B levels, the hatchability rates in eggs of the predatory mite P. persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and the plant feeding spider mite T. urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). We also investigated the effect of UV-B radiation on the subsequent adult life duration and egg production of females irradiated during their embryonic development. The aim of the experiments is to determine differences between the non-irradiated and irradiated individuals of each species as well as to compare the two species regarding their tolerance to UV-B radiation. The results of the thesis could contribute to the improvement of the biological control of the two-spotted spider mite, by determining and using proper doses of UV-B radiation in order to effectively control the mite pest (T. urticae), without harming its natural enemy (P. persimilis).

description: We discuss aspects of magnetically charged black holes in the Standard Model. For a range of charges, we argue that the electroweak symmetry is restored in the near horizon region. The extent of this phase can be macroscopic. If $Q$ is the integer magnetic charge, the fermions lead to order $Q$ massless two dimensional fermions moving along the magnetic field lines. These greatly enhance Hawking radiation effects.

description: Field-level economic analyses have indicated that blending fresh and saline water is suboptimal. This paper examines this issue on a regional scale, where both water sources and land are concurrently allocated to crops. We compare regional waterdistribution networks that enable salinity adjustment at the field level to networks that allow controlling water salinity on a regional scale only, such that salt concentrations cannot differ per crop. We characterize the conditions for optimal blending under regional salinity-control networks, and show that these conditions can be met in empirical studies based on production models commonly used in the literature. Empirical analysis of 16 regions in Israel revealed optimal blending in six of them. The paper analyzes the relationship of shadow values of water and land constraints to the properties of distribution networks, and relative farming profitability under exogenous and endogenous water- and land-pricing schemes.

Here we present, in the first part, a theoretical derivation for the conversion rate both in the case of spontaneous generation and in the presence of a seed beam. Then we review three types of optical fibers and we examine their properties in terms of conversion efficiency and practical feasibility.

Ο λόγος της μετάφρασης του συγκεκριμένου αποσπάσματος ήταν το ενδιαφέρον που προκάλεσε η απλότητα της γραφής του συγκεκριμένου συγγραφέα μέσα από την οποία αναδεικνύεται με μεγάλη μαεστρία η προσωπικότητα των ηρώων και οι καταστάσεις στις οποίες εμπλέκονται. Η λογοτεχνική μετάφραση, αποτελεί μια πρόκληση για τον μεταφραστή. Σε αντίθεση με την μετάφραση ενός μη λογοτεχνικού κειμένου όπου οι περισσότεροι όροι είναι ξεκάθαροι, στη μετάφραση ενός λογοτεχνικού κειμένου ο μεταφραστής καλείται να λάβει υπόψη του πολλούς παράγοντες που θα του επιτρέψουν να ολοκληρώσει το έργο του. Όμως αυτές οι προκλήσεις θα βοηθήσουν στην καλύτερη προετοιμασία όσων ασχολούνται με τη μετάφραση λογοτεχνικών κειμένων αλλά και στην προετοιμασία των μελλοντικών μεταφραστών που θα έχουν ως αντικείμενο την λογοτεχνική μετάφραση
description: This present thesis is an annotated translation of the romance «La casa di ringhiera» by the Italian writer Francesco Recami. Its aim is to examine the translation difficulties during the process of translation. The reason for the translation of this abstract was the interest that aroused by the simplicity of the writing of this particular author, through which the personality of the heroes and the situations in which they are involved are highlighted with great mastery. Literary translation is a challenge for the translator. Contrary to the translation of a non - literary text where most of the terms are clear, during the translation of a literary text the translator is invited to take into account many factors that will enable him to complete his work. However, these challenges will help to the better preparation of those involved in translating literary texts, but also in preparing future translators for literary translation

description: Photon entanglement is an essential ingredient for linear optics quantum computing schemes, quantum cryptographic protocols and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. Here we describe a setup that allows for the generation of polarisation-entangled N-photon states on demand. The photons are obtained by mapping the entangled state of N atoms, each of them trapped inside an optical cavity, onto the free radiation field. The required initial state can be prepared by performing postselective measurements on the collective emission from the cavities through a multiport beamsplitter.

description: In this paper we report on work that has aimed at measuring and understanding the sources of productivity differences among firms and their changes over time. These issues have been investigated at the micro level, which is the decision-making level. The relationship between inputs and the economic environment is informed by an underlying economic model. The issues involved in the specification and estimation of production functions are related to the role played by errors in the production and optimization decisions. Under this general umbrella, the paper traces my interaction with the literature on some key subjects in production and supply. Turning to the macro level, we review subjects related to the analysis of agriculture as a sector of the economy and the determinants of agricultural growth. The incentives and constraints are affected by sector-specific and sector-neutral policies, by world prices, and by the implementation of new technology. The paper concludes with a review of empirical work on these subjects. How does one reflect on the outcome of a random walk? This in essence, is what I am setting out to do, and the easy way to do it would be to do what some of us do best, namely, talk about the past. It would have been more impressive if I could pretend to have followed my trajectory with the clarity of a crystal ball. A natural starting point in my case is high-school, where I took a turn in the direction of agriculture, revealing my convictions at the time. Eventually, as outlined below, I invested much of my research efforts in two main fields, production and agricultural growth, and they will be the main subject of this review. The two are not independent, and in both cases I have tried to understand what the data tell us. Situating my work in the rich literature was largely accomplished in Mundlak, (2000; 2001a), which allows me here to walk through my efforts without elaborating on all the pertinent work

description: We propose a spin-independent scheme to generate and detect two-particle entanglement in a mesoscopic normal-superconductor system. A superconductor, weakly coupled to the normal conductor, generates an orbitally entangled state by injecting pairs of electrons into different leads of the normal conductor. The entanglement is detected via violation of a Bell inequality, formulated in terms of zero-frequency current cross-correlators. It is shown that the Bell inequality can be violated for arbitrary strong dephasing in the normal conductor.

description: Capital is a fundamental component of agricultural production, and the accumulation of capital is key to growth in agriculture and the process of development. Unfortunately, cross-country data sets on agricultural fixed capital are rare. Using a common methodology that allows comparisons across countries, as well as over time, we introduce a data series on fixed capital in agriculture, based on national accounts data. The fixed capital measure differs remarkably from the FAO data series on tractors which has been widely utilized as a proxy for agricultural fixed capital. We construct comparable measures of capital in livestock and treestock. We examine the evolution of the capital stocks from 1970 to 2000, paying particular attention to the changing composition of agricultural capital, as well as differences in the accumulation of capital for highincome and middle- and lower-income countries. Using our capital measures in agricultural productivity analyses, the data yield estimated input elasticities substantially different from those found previously in the literature. We show explicitly that this is due to the improved data set on agricultural capital stocks, as well as the methodology used in the study.

description: A lower proportion of females are overweight than is males. Females’ food choices in comparison to those of males reflect the higher importance they attribute to health and physical appearance, more complex attitude toward risk, greater esteem for home-cooked food, and sociological factors. This paper explores the variables that affect consumers’ final food choices, shedding light specifically on the choice process and analyzing whether gender affects predispositions toward foods, perceptions, choice processes, or both. Perceptions and choice processes based on memory judgments serve only as a benchmark used to compare choices made with calorie information. In two experiments wherein subjects were exposed to two forms of calorie information on three fast food items, we show that that differences in perceptions of healthfulness and tastiness of foods account for gender differences in memory-based choices; while calorie information affected both perceptions and choice processes for females, it changed only the perceptions of food for males. We show that differing calorie presentations affected males and females differently

description: We cast the problem of image denoising as a domain translation problem between high and low noise domains. By modifying the cycleGAN model, we are able to learn a mapping between these domains on unpaired retinal optical coherence tomography images. In quantitative measurements and a qualitative evaluation by ophthalmologists, we show how this approach outperforms other established methods. The results indicate that the network differentiates subtle changes in the level of noise in the image. Further investigation of the model's feature maps reveals that it has learned to distinguish retinal layers and other distinct regions of the images.
Generalized Kinetic Equations for a System of Interacting Atoms and Photons: Theory and Simulations

description: In the present paper we introduce generalized kinetic equations describing the dynamics of a system of interacting gas and photons obeying to a very general statistics. In the space homogeneous case we study the equilibrium state of the system and investigate its stability by means of Lyapounov's theory. Two physically relevant situations are discussed in details: photons in a background gas and atoms in a background radiation. After having dropped the statistics generalization for atoms but keeping the statistics generalization for photons, in the zero order Chapmann-Enskog approximation, we present two numerical simulations where the system, initially at equilibrium, is perturbed by an external isotropic Dirac's delta and by a constant source of photons.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this culminating project was first to conduct an extensive literature review of Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in orthopedic surgical settings, second to review the literature on how to create a successful professional poster, and then to present the findings of the orthopedic NP review in a professional poster. Background: Orthopedic conditions account for more disability, pain, and costs to the Canadian/American Healthcare systems than any other conditions. As a result patients are experiencing profound difficulty accessing orthopedic surgeons. As a solution to this shortage, NPs are becoming an essential part of the multidisciplinary orthopedic team in Level 1 trauma hospitals. Results: NPs are qualified and competent to work in a variety of orthopedic settings including preoperative clinics, primary care orthopedic clinics, as well as provide pre and postoperative care for patients within the hospital setting. The benefits of NPs in orthopedic surgical settings includes: increased access to care, improved team communication, decreased patient length of stay, improved quality of care, and improved patient satisfaction. Moreover, NPs meet patient needs while surgeons are operating, and have a positive impact on resident surgeon education. Conclusion: A need exists for NPs in orthopedic surgical settings in Canada to both improve access to healthcare for patients, and reduce the burden on orthopedic surgeons.

description: For future configurations, we study the relation between the abatement of the noise sources and the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) for coalescing binaries. Our aim is not the proposition of a new design, but an indication of where in the bandwidth or for which noise source, a noise reduction would be most efficient. We take VIRGO as the reference for our considerations, solely applicable to the inspiralling phase of a coalescing binary. Thus, only neutron stars and small black holes of few solar masses are encompassed by our analysis. The contributions to the SNR given by final merge and quasi-normal ringing are neglected. It is identified that i) the reduction in the mirror thermal noise band provides the highest gain for the SNR, when the VIRGO bandwidth is divided according to the dominant noises; ii) it exists a specific frequency at which lies the potential largest increment in the SNR, and that the enlargement of the bandwidth, where the noise is reduced, produces a shift of such optimal frequency to higher values; iii) the abatement of the pendulum thermal noise provides the largest, but modest, gain, when noise sources are considered separately. Our recent astrophysical analysis on event rates for neutron stars leads to a detection rate of one every 148 or 125 years for VIRGO and LIGO, respectively, while a recently proposed and improved, but still conservative, VIRGO configuration would provide an increase to 1.5 events per year. Instead, a bi-monthly event rate, similar to advanced LIGO, requires a 16 times gain. We analyse the 3D (pendulum, mirror, shot noises) parameter space showing how such gain could be achieved.

description: This paper aims to provide an explanation for the counterintuitive response of some consumers to calorie information, which is described in the literature. While most consumers do not change their food choices post calorie information, some do reduce their calorie consumption, while others increase their calorie consumption by shifting to foods with higher calorie content. Overestimation of calorie content of calorie-dense food has been widely employed to explain the counterintuitive choice of the higher-calorie dish. This paper suggests that since calories are associated with better taste, and there is a distribution of willingness to trade physical appeal for taste, then the odds of a consumer who assigns high importance to taste will shift to the highest calorie entrée are greater than those of a consumer who assigns high importance to her or his looks. Consumers who shift their choices of entrée to that with higher calorie content may reduce the number of side orders, and thus consume fewer calories than previously; while the segment more concerned with calorie consumption may choose to consume more dishes, yet each with lower calorie content. Our empirical study, which is based on market experiments, supports this assertion. The importance of looks and fashion, income, and age characterize the two types of consumers — calorie lovers versus calorie avoiders — while gender affects response to calorie information only.

description: Two of the major obstacles to achieve quantum computing (QC) are (i) scalability to many qubits and (ii) controlled connectivity between any selected qubits. Using Josephson charge qubits, here we propose an experimentally realizable method to efficiently solve these two central problems. Since any two charge qubits can be effectively coupled by an experimentally accessible inductance, the proposed QC architecture is scalable. In addition, we formulate an efficient and realizable QC scheme that requires only one (instead of two or more) two-bit operation to implement conditional gates.
