description: Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η συνεισφορά στο χώρο της επιδεικτικής ρητορικής των Βυζαντινών μέσα από την εξέταση και τη μελέτη των εγκωμιαστικών λόγων που εκφωνήθηκαν από τους Βυζαντινούς ρήτορες με αφορμή την ανάμνηση της ανακομιδής του λειψάνου του Ιωάννη του Χρυσοστόμου από τα Κόμανα στην Κωνσταντινούπολη. Στην εισαγωγή επιχειρείται μια αναδρομή στην ιστορία της εκκλησιαστικής επιδεικτικής ρητορείας, ενώ στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται οι λόγοι, οι οποίοι έχουν γραφεί σε παρόμοιες περιπτώσεις ανακομιδής του λειψάνου ενός αγίου ή της μεταφοράς κειμηλίων κατά τους βυζαντινούς χρόνους. Στο δεύτερο και μεγαλύτερο σε έκταση κεφάλαιο εξετάζονται οι λόγοι οι αφιερωμένοι στην ανακομιδή του λειψάνου του Χρυσοστόμου. Δίνονται στοιχεία για τους συγγραφείς, τη χειτόγραφη παράδοση και τις πηγές των λόγων. Στη συνέχεια επιχειρείται η ρητορική προσέγγιση των λόγων και αναζητούνται τα στοιχεία που τους εντάσσουν στο χώρο της εκκλησιαστικής επιδεικτικής ρητορικής. Το τρίτο κεφάλαιο εξετάζει τα σχήματα λόγου και τα εκφραστικά μέσα που εντοπίζονται στους συγκεκριμένους λόγους. Τέλος, παρατίθενται τα χωρία της Παλαιάς και Καινής Διαθήκης τα οποία οι ρήτορες ενσωμάτωσαν και αξιοποίησαν στην προσπάθεια τους να αναδειχθούν ικανοί εγκωμιαστές του Χρυσοστόμου.
description: The aim of present work is the contribution around the panygeric rhetoric of Byzantines through the research and study of encomia that was pronounced by the Byzantines orators in the occasion of the recollection in the translation of Ioannis Chrysostomos relics from the Komana Pontos in Constantinople. Initially, is attempted a retrospection in the history of ecclesiastical panygeric oratory through presentation of mainer representative of panygeric orations. In the first chapter are presented generally the encomia, which have been wroten in similar occasions or translation relics of the saints or in the occasion of transportation of heirloom at the Byzantines years. In the second and extent chapter, are examined the oration dedicated to the translation relics of Ioannis Chrysostomus. Initially are presented the writers, the handwritten tradition and the sources of the oration. Then is attempted an approach of the oration from their rhetorical point of view including the place of the panygeric oratory. The third chapter researched forms of oration and expressive means. Finally, are mentioned extracts from the Old and New Testament, which the orators use, in order to worthies and capables praisers of Chrysostomus.

description: Η διατριβή αποτελεί κριτική έκδοση και υπομνηματισμό του 'Περί μονήρους λέξεως' του γραμματικού Ηρωδιανού (2ος αι. μ.Χ.). Στη διατριβή προτάχθηκε εκτενής εισαγωγή, όπου εξετάστηκε λεπτομερώς ο βίος του γραμματικού. Επίσης εξετάστηκαν μαρτυρίες για τη διδασκαλία και τα έργα του γραμματικού. Ο Ηρωδιανός υπήρξε πολυγραφότατος, αλλά μόνο το έργο αυτό ο γραμματικός παραθέτει πρώτα όλες τις όμοιες λέξεις που συγκροτούν κανόνα, σχηματισμένες κατά την αρχή της αναλογίας, και μετά αναφέρει την ανόμοια λέξη, τη μονήρη, που εξαιρείται του κανόνα. Το έργο σώζεται σε τρεις κώδικες, τον Hauniensis 1965, τον Vindobonensis 294 και τον Taurinensis B.VI.10. Ο τελευταίος κώικας παρέχει μόνο το προοίμιο του έργου. Η παρούσα διατριβή λαμβάνει υπόψη της και τα τρία χειρόγραφα, καθώς και τις διορθώσεις πολλών μελετητών. Διορθώνει επίσης το κείμενο σε πολλά χωρία. Επίσης, υπομνηματίζει το κείμενο φωτίζοντας σε πολλά σημεία τη διδασκαλία του Ηρωδιανού
description: This thesis presents both a critical edition and annotation of the work 'Peri monirous lexeos' by the grammarian Aelius Herodianus (2nd c. A.D.). An extensive introduction precedes the edition refering in detail to the life of the grammarian. At the same time testimonies regarding the teaching and the works of the grammarian are also examined. Herodianus proved to have written quite a lot, but only 'Peri monirous lexeos' survived in its entirely. In this work the grammarian first lists all of the similar words which follow the rule - based on the foundation of analogy - followed by any dissimilar word, tin moniri, which is an exeption to the rule. The work has been transmitted in three manuscripts : Haun. 1965, Vind. 294, Taur. B.VI.10. The third one offers only the preamble. This thesis takes into account all three manuscripts as well as corrections proposed by a lot of scholars. This thesis also corrects a lot od passages and at the same time comments on them shedding light on Herodianus' teaching
title: Measurements of Wind Turbine Wake Evolution and Trajectory During Morning Boundary Layer Transition and Under Wake Steering Conditions via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Creators: name: Nelson, Stewart
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: In July of 2019, a flight campaign was conducted using semi-autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) at the Port Alma Kruger Energy wind farm in Ontario, Canada, to study various aspects of wind turbine wake evolution. Horizontal transects across the wakes were measured using modified fixed-wing aircraft fitted with a five-hole probe to measure the wind velocity vector. Reference boundary layer conditions were measured by an octocopter with an assortment of mounted sensors flying vertical profiles upstream of the turbines. Three experiments were conducted during the campaign, which consisted of a study on wake behavior during the morning boundary layer transition, a comparison study between steered and unsteered wakes, and a wake steering study utilizing three aircraft flying in formation. These experiments demonstrated that wind turbine wakes experience increasing meandering and diffusion throughout boundary layer transition corresponding to the increase in boundary layer turbulence, and provided further support for utilizing wake steering to improve inflow conditions for downstream turbines. Such results demonstrate that UAVs can be an effective tool for measuring wind farm aerodynamics.

description: We study the impact of a stochastic background of primordial magnetic fields on the scalar contribution of CMB anisotropies and on the matter power spectrum. We give the correct initial conditions for cosmological perturbations and the exact expressions for the energy density and Lorentz force associated to the stochastic background of primordial magnetic fields, given a power-law for their spectra cut at a damping scale. The dependence of the CMB temperature and polarization spectra on the relevant parameters of the primordial magnetic fields is illustrated.

Resonant energy conversion of 3-minute intensity oscillations into Alfven waves in the solar atmosphere

description: Nonlinear coupling between 3-minute oscillations and Alfven waves in the solar lower atmosphere is studied. 3-minute oscillations are considered as acoustic waves trapped in a chromospheric cavity and oscillating along transversally inhomogeneous vertical magnetic field. It is shown that under the action of the oscillations the temporal dynamics of Alfven waves is governed by Mathieu equation. Consequently, the harmonics of Alfven waves with twice period and wavelength of 3-minute oscillations grow exponentially in time near the layer where the sound and Alfven speeds equal. Thus the 3-minute oscillations are resonantly absorbed by pure Alfven waves near this resonant layer. The resonant Alfven waves may penetrate into the solar corona taking energy from the chromosphere. Therefore the layer c_s=v_A may play a role of energy channel for otherwise trapped acoustic oscillations.

description: We present a systematic study of the productions and decays of light axial vector mesons with $J^{PC}=1^{+\pm}$ in charmonium decays. In the quark model scenario, the two axial vector nonets are connected with each other by the Gell-Mann-Okubo mass relation through the mixing between two $K_1$ states (i.e. $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$) with configurations of $^3P_1$ and $^1P_1$. The mixing angles between $f_1$ and $f_1'$ (i.e. $f_1(1285)$ and $f_1(1420)$), and between $h_1$ and $h_1'$ (i.e. $h_1(1170)$ and $h_1(1415)$) can be reliably constrained. We then introduce the intermediate $K^*\bar{K}+c.c.$ meson loop transitions in the description of the productions and decays of these axial vector mesons. The presence of the nearby $S$-wave $K^*\bar{K}+c.c.$ to which these axial vector mesons have strong coupling strengths, turns out to be crucial for understanding many puzzling questions related to their productions and decays. This is because that the $S$-wave $K^*\bar{K}+c.c.$ rescatterings by the kaon exchange satisfy the triangle singularity (TS) condition in some of these cases and the TS mechanism can introduce special interference effects in the exclusive decays of these light axial vector mesons.

Separating aa-index into Solar and Hale Cycle Related Components Using Principal Component Analysis
Creators: name: Takalo, Jouni
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We decompose the monthly aa-index of cycles 10-23 using principal component analysis (PCA). We show that the first component (PC1) is related to solar cycle, and accounts for 41.5 % of the variance of the data. The second component (PC2) is related to 22-year Hale cycle, and explains 23.6% of the variance of the data. The PC1 time series of aa cycles 10-23 has only one peak in its power spectrum at the period 10.95 years, which is the average solar cycle period for the interval SC10-SC23. The PC2 time series of the same cycles has a clear peak at period 21.90 (Hale cycle) and a smaller peak at 3/4 of that period. We also study the principal component of sunspot numbers (SSN) for cycles 10-23, and compare mutual behavior of the PC2 components of aa-index and SSN PCA analyses. We note that they are in the same phase in all other cycles than Solar Cycles 15 and 20. The aa cycle 20 also differs from other even aa cycles in its shape, especially in anomalously high peaks during its descending phase. Even though there is a coherence in the PC2 time series phases of aa-index and sunspot number, this effect is too small to cause all of the difference of the shape of even and odd aa cycles. We estimate that 30% of the shape of the PC2 component of aa-index is due to sunspot number and the rest to other recurrent events in Sun/solar-wind. The first maximum of aa-data (typical to odd cycles), during sunspot maximum, has been shown to be related to coronal mass ejections (CME), while the second maximum (typical to even cycles) in the declining phase of cycle, is probably related to high-speed streams (HSS). The last events increase the activity level such that the minimum between even-odd cycle-pair is always higher than the minimum between succeeding odd-even cycle pair.

description: We present new X-ray and optical spectroscopy of a Type 2 quasar candidate selected from a follow-up program of hard, optically-dim, serendipitous Chandra sources. The source is confirmed to be a Type 2 quasar at z=0.536 with an intrinsic 2-10 keV luminosity L_{2-10}=5x10^{44} h_{0.7}^{-2} erg/s, an absorbing column density N_H=8x10^{23} cm^{-2} and a neutral Fe K alpha line detected by XMM-Newton EPIC-MOS1 as well as Chandra ACIS-S. An extended optical forbidden emission line cloud is detected at the same redshift, and at about 15 kpc in projected separation. This cloud lies in close proximity to the peak of the compact steep spectrum radio source 4C+39.29, which has previously been identified with a foreground galaxy in the cluster Abell 963. We present evidence to show that 4C+39.29 is associated with the background X-ray Type 2 quasar. The radio luminosity is dominated by lobes with complex structure and the radio core is weak in comparison to narrow-line radio galaxies at the same X-ray luminosity. The morphology and emission line properties of the extended region are consistent with an on-going jet-cloud interaction. 4C+39.29 possesses a combination of high power and high absorbing column density compared with other X-ray Type 2 quasars in the literature. These observations highlight the efficacy of using X-rays to identify the primary energy source of complex radio sources and distant obscured AGN.

description: Slip activation, slip band interactions, and GND densities in iron-base, galling resistant alloy Nitronic 60 have been characterised at the grain length scale using small-scale mechanical testing with high resolution digital image correlation and high-angular resolution electron backscatter diffraction. By correlating the two measurement techniques, new insight into slip band interactions, the generation of lattice curvature and the corresponding accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) is provided. Multiple discrete slip bands are typically active within single grains, resulting in significant slip band interactions. Crossing slip bands were found to generate accumulations of GNDs. Regions where slip bands block other slip bands were associated with the highest GND densities, in excess of three time the densities of crossing slip bands. Representative crystal plasticity modelling investigations have demonstrated that discrete slip blocking events are responsible for locally elevated GND density. This behaviour is rationalised in terms of lattice curvature associated with the differing levels of constraint provided by the crossing or blocking-type behaviours. Ferrite grains are also found to contribute to the generation of GNDs. Together, these two effects provide significant work hardening mechanisms, likely to be key to the development of future iron-base hard facing alloys.

description: L’articolo propone una riflessione filosofica sul valore antropologico del desiderio, della marginalità e delle istituzioni, a partire da una pratica della critica d’arte intesa come critica filosofica. Dopo una premessa teorica sul rapporto tra contemporaneo, arte, filosofia, psicanalisi e scienze umane in relazione al valore antropologico dell’arte come specchio della condizione umana, vengono presentati tre casi esemplari di applicazione di questa impostazione. Tre artiste (Sonia Ros, Lucia Nazzaro e Claudia Virginia Vitari) vengono messe a confronto, individuando nelle loro opere gli elementi che uniscono produzione artistica e riflessione sui saperi e poteri che tengono assieme marginalità, umanità e istituzioni.

The article proposes a philosophical reflection on the anthropological value of desire, margins and institutions, from a practice of art criticism understood as philosophical criticism. After a theoretical introduction on the relationship between contemporary art, philosophy, psychoanalysis and human sciences in relation to the anthropological value of art as a mirror of the human condition, article presents three case-studies of the application of this approach. Three artists (Sonia Ros, Lucia Nazzaro and Claudia Virginia Vitari) are compared to identify the elements in their works that combine artistic production and reflection on the knowledge and power that hold together marginality, humanity and institutions.

Spin nematic phases in models of correlated electron systems: a numerical study

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: Strongly interacting systems are known to often spontaneously develop exotic ground states under certain conditions. For instance, spin nematic phases have been discovered in various magnetic models. Such phases, which break spin symmetry but have no net local magnetization, have also been proposed by Nersesyan et al. (J. Phys.: Cond. Matt. 3, 3353 (1991)) in the context of electronic models. We introduce a N-flavor microscopic model that interpolates from the large-N limit, where mean-field is valid and such a nematic phase occurs, to the more realistic N=1 case. By using a sign-free quantum Monte-Carlo, we show the existence of a spin nematic phase (analogous to a spin flux phase) for finite N; when N decreases, quantum fluctuations increase and this phase ultimately disappears in favor of an s-wave superconducting state. We also show that this nematic phase extends up to a finite critical charge doping. Dynamical studies allow us to clarify the Fermi surface property: in the nematic phase at half-filling, it consists of 4 points and the low-energy structure has a Dirac cone-like shape. Under doping, we observe clear signatures of Fermi pockets around these points. This is one of the few examples where numerical simulations show how quantum fluctuations can destroy a large-N phase.

Teacher decision-making in the ESL classroom : the influence of theory, beliefs, perceptions and context
Creators: name: Smith, Deborah Binnie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This study is concerned with teacher decision-making in the English as a Second Language classroom. Specifically, the study examines the impact of teacher beliefs and perceptions, context factors and second language theory on planning and implementation decisions for the ESL instructional context. Nine ESL teachers in three post-secondary institutions participated in this qualitative study. Data were gathered through classroom observations, postlesson conferences and interviews. These data were examined in terms of what instructional decisions teachers made and the factors that influenced these decisions from the individual teacher's perspective. Second, the data were analysed for internal consistency between stated beliefs and instructional decisions and external consistency between decisions and second language theory. In examining the role of the teacher in the ESL instructional context, this thesis contributes to both research and teaching theory in English as a Second Language. First, while regular classroom research has indicated that the role of the teacher and the ecology of the classroom are central to understanding the instructional context, ESL classroom studies have primarily focused on the learner, the learning process and language learning outcomes in this context. This thesis addresses this gap in the research by investigating the teacher's role in the ESL instructional setting and the factors that impact on teacher decisionmaking. Second, ESL classroom researchers have observed that theoretical ideas are implemented in various ways in the formal setting. While researchers have speculated on the reasons for teachers' eclectic use of theory in practice, there has been little exploratory research conducted to investigate this phenomenon. The findings from this present study indicate that teachers' instructional decisions are centrally influenced by both individually held beliefs about second language learning and teaching as well as experiential knowledge of the ESL classroom. These findings not only contribute to our understanding of the ESL instructional context from the teacher's perspective, but are also significant for the development of instructional theory.
Characterising the signatures of star-forming galaxies in the extra-galactic $γ$-ray background

description: Galaxies experiencing intense star-formation episodes are expected to be rich in energetic cosmic rays (CRs). These CRs undergo hadronic interactions with the interstellar gases of their host to drive $γ$-ray emission, which has already been detected from several nearby starbursts. Unresolved $γ$-ray emission from more distant star-forming galaxies (SFGs) is expected to contribute to the extra-galactic $γ$-ray background (EGB). However, despite the wealth of high-quality all-sky data from the Fermi-LAT $γ$-ray space telescope collected over more than a decade of operation, the exact contribution of such SFGs to the EGB remains unsettled. We investigate the high-energy $γ$-ray emission from SFGs up to redshift $z=3$ above a GeV, and assess the contribution they can make to the EGB. We show the $γ$-ray emission spectrum from a SFG population can be determined from just a small number of key parameters, from which we model a range of possible EGB realisations. We demonstrate that populations of SFGs leave anisotropic signatures in the EGB, and that these can be accessed using the spatial power spectrum. Moreover, we show that such signatures will be accessible with ongoing operation of current $γ$-ray instruments, and detection prospects will be greatly improved by the next generation of $γ$-ray observatories, in particular the Cherenkov Telescope Array.

description: Da una parte l'imbarazzo dello storico dell'arte nel prendere atto dei limiti di una formazione basata su rigide categorie, nicchie temporali, correnti, stili, strumenti che, seppur utili, risultano talvolta inadeguati alla comprensione del senso profondo dell'arte irregolare.  Dall'altra l'esigenza di classificare, catalogare, descrivere, mettere ordine (anche in senso fisico) in una materia complessa, cercando di individuare le "emergenze" di un mondo sommerso, le coordinate a cui far riferimento per orientarsi, a partire dal  desiderio di comprensione che segue un'esperienza estetica del tutto inconsueta.
Infine la necessità del curatore di attivare un processo di estetizzazione e di comunicazione, necessari al riconoscimento e all'accreditamento culturale (di conseguenza alla salvaguardia e alla tutela) delle opere e degli autori, presso addetti ai lavori e studiosi, ma anche presso i decisori politici e il grande pubblico.  In questo scenario, fra questi due e più poli, il giovane curatore diventa un equilibrista sul filo delle "nuove committenze" nel flusso informativo del contemporaneo sempre più impermeabile al trapasso di contenuti complessi e davanti ad un pubblico ora partecipe ora distratto e perplesso...

Cataloguing, studying and curating Outsider Art. A field experience.

On one hand there is the embarrassment of the art historian in acknowledging the limits of a training path based on strict categories, currents, movements, styles. Although useful, these instruments are sometimes inadequate to understand the deep sense of Outsider Art. On the other side there is the need to classify, catalog, describe, bring order (even physically) in a complex issue. Therefore, starting from the desire of understanding that follows a quite unusual aesthetic experience, the art historian seeks everything come to light from the underground and try to find the coordinates to orient himself/herself.
Furthermore there is also the need of the curator to start a process of aesthetization and communication in order to gain the recognition and the cultural accreditation (hence aimed to the preservation and protection) of outsider artworks and artists. In this scenario, between these two and more poles, the young curator becomes as a tightrope walker surrounded by the information flow of contemporary art system, which is increasingly impervious to the passing of complex contents.

description: Languages which are in long time and intense contact commonly end up inter-influencing each other. The exchange of linguistic materials is not usually analogous. However, materials of more powerful and dominant language in bilingual situation tend to be borrowed by minority language(s). Alagwa and Kiswahili are in intensive contact for more than a century and like other ECLs in Tanzania, massive Kiswahili loans enter into the Alagwa lexicon. Also, Kiswahili loanwords introduced new phonemes in the Alagwa phonemic inventory. Thus, Kiswahili loans are incorporated into this language through phonological, morphological and currently direct phonological diffusion.

description: Caterina Marinelli, esposta in numerose occasioni in mostre di arte irregolare in diverse parti d’Italia, è stata di recente invitata in Cina a lavorare nella residenza del Mo Art Space, a Xinmi, Henan. Caterina è una scultrice straordinaria, interessata soprattutto alla realizzazione di cani in creta, in carta e in rete metallica. Nonostante sia partita con un evidente svantaggio, dovuto all’abbandono in orfanotrofio, Caterina ha sviluppato doti intellettive e capacità manuali straordinarie, tanto da divenire un Artista di talento a tutto tondo.

Outsider in the West, insider in East. The case of Caterina Marinelli

Catherine Marinelli, exposed in numerous Outsider Art exhibitions in different parts of Italy, was recently invited to China to work in the residence of Mo Art Space, in Xinmi, Henan. Catherine is an extraordinary sculptor, primarily concerned with the realization of clay or paper and metal mesh dogs. Despite having started with a clear disadvantage (she was abandoned in an orphanage) Catherine has developed extraordinary intellectual gifts and manual skills, becoming an all-round talent artist.
Being and traveling with her I had the opportunity to enter her world both spiritually and materially. For the Chinese, it is a world where learning to live. They recognize in her work the same strenght that was recognized to the avant-garde of the early twentieth century. They don’t consider it “another art”, but one of the possible contemporary looks. At least for the time being, in China the outsider artist does not exist.

description: The extended Hubbard model in the atomic limit (AL-EHM) on a square lattice with periodic boundary conditions is studied with use of the Monte Carlo (MC) method. Within the grand canonical ensemble the phase and order-order boundaries for charge orderings are obtained. The phase diagrams include three types of charge ordered phases and the nonordered phase. The system exhibits very rich structure and shows unusual multicritical behavior. In the limiting case of tij = 0, the EHM is equivalent to the pseudospin model with single-ion anisotropy 1/2U, exchange interaction W in an effective magnetic field (mu-1/2U-zW). This classical spin model is analyzed using the MC method for the canonical ensemble. The phase diagram is compared with the known results for the Blume-Capel model.

Στη συνέχεια εξετάζεται το πρόβλημα της ομαδοποίησης χρηστών του Π.Ι. με βάση τα ενδιαφέροντά τους και προτείνονται 4 αλγόριθμοι για την επίλυσή του. Τέλος, μελετώνται τρία προβλήματα συν-ομαδοποίησης για την ταυτόχρονη ομοδαποίηση των δεδομένων που ανήκουν σε δύο διαφορετικά σύνολα, ώστε να εντοπιστούν υπάρχουσες μεταξύ τους συσχετίσεις
description: The dissertation focuses on the web clustering problem Specifically, new clustering techniques are proposed to provide efficient data management frameworks. A clustering-driven framework for directory services is proposed along with a query framework which, considering the clustering based LDAP data organization, results in the enhancement of the LDAP server's performance. Then, four algorithms are proposed which deal with the problem of web users clustering. Their goal is to identify similarities between users according to their navigational behaviour. Next, three, co-clustering frameworks are studied in order to identify relations between elements of two different datasets

Subjects: L-ART/04 Museologia e critica artistica e del restauro

description: Gustav Mesmer (1903-1994) fu rinchiuso per 35 anni contro la sua volontà in istituti psichiatrici. Spinto dalla sua creatività e dal desiderio di andare oltre le mura che lo separavano dal mondo esterno, sviluppò l’utopia del volo dell’uomo. Disegnò i suoi sogni, costruì biciclette per volare e le provò. Vengono fatte ipotesi sul collegamento psicologico tra vita e arte, e viene affrontata la posizione di Gustav Mesmer nell’Art Brut.

Gustav Mesmer (1903 - 1994) has been hospitalized involuntarily for 35 years in psychiatric hospitals. Impelled by his creativity and his wish to overcome the wall between him and the world he evolved the utopia of man’s flight. He painted his dreams, constructed bicycles for flight and tested them. Hypothesis on the psychological connections between life and art are formulated, and the position of Gustav Mesmer within outsider art is outlined.

description: The entropy of a hierarchical network topology in an ensemble of sparse random networks with "hidden variables" associated to its nodes, is the log-likelihood that a given network topology is present in the chosen ensemble.We obtain a general formula for this entropy,which has a clear simple interpretation in some simple limiting cases. The results provide new keys with which to solve the general problem of "fitting" a given network with an appropriate ensemble of random networks.

description: Η γνώση της γεωγραφικής προέλευσης του ελληνικού θυμαρίσιου μελιού είναι αναγκαία και αποτελεί προϋπόθεση για την τεκμηρίωση της ποιότητάς του, για την ανάδειξη των ιδιαίτερων τοπικών χαρακτηριστικών και για την προστασία του καταναλωτή, αλλά και του μελισσοκόμου. Η πειραματική διαδικασία υπαίθρου της παρούσας διατριβής πραγματοποιήθηκε στη διάρκεια τριών ετών (2003, 2004 και 2005) με δειγματοληψίες μελιού από τρεις διαφορετικές περιοχές-σταθμούς της Ελλάδας: 1. Γραμβούσα Κισσάμου Χανίων, 2. Άγιος Νικόλαος 1όμβραινας, και 3. Φανός Αλμυρού Βόλου. Σε κάθε πειραματικό σταθμό τοποθετήθηκαν πέντε αριθμημένες κυψέλες από τις οποίες προήλθαν τα δείγματα μελιού. Επιπλέον, έγινε συλλογή όλων των ανθισμένων φυτών που φύονταν σε ακτίνα έως και 2 km γύρω από τις κυψέλες του πειράματος σε δύο χρονικές περιόδους των δύο πρώτων ετών του πειράματος. Η πρώτη περίοδος ήταν πριν την έναρξη της ανθοφορίας του θυμαριού και η δεύτερη περίοδος περίπου στη μέση της ανθοφορίας αυτής. 1ημιουργήθηκαν πρότυπα παρασκευάσματα γύρης από τα ανθισμένα φυτά που συλλέχθηκαν, οι γυρεόκοκκοι των οποίων φωτογραφήθηκαν σε οπτικό μικροσκόπιο και κατασκευάστηκε σχετικό αρχείο αναφοράς, με το οποίο συγκρίθηκαν οι γυρεόκοκκοι που απομονώθηκαν από τα δείγματα μελιών
description: The knowledge of greek thyme honey geographical origin is of great importance for its quality assurance, the determination of its particular local characteristics and the protection of both the consumers and the beekeepers. The outdoors experimental procedure of this project was carried out during three successive years (2003, 2004 and 2005) by collecting plant and honey samples from three different areas of Greece: i) Grambousa, Kissamos, Chania, ii) Aghios Nikolaos, Dombrena, and iii) Fanos, Almiros, Volos. Five numbered beehives were set at each experimental station as the source of the honey samples. Moreover, all plants in flower growing up to 2 km from the beehives of each area were collected in two periods during the years 2003 and 2004: the first period was before the anthesis of thyme and the second one was approximately in the middle of the flowering time. Reference slides from all plants in flower were prepared, their pollen grains were photographed at a light microscope and a relevant reference file was created, so as to compare with the pollen grains isolated from the honey samples

On the construction of QED using ERG

description: It has been known for some time that a smooth momentum cutoff is compatible with local gauge symmetries. In this paper we show concretely how to construct QED using the exact renormalization group (ERG). First, we give a new derivation of the Ward identity for the Wilson action using the technique of composite operators. Second, parameterizing the theory by its asymptotic behavior for a large cutoff, we show how to fine-tune the parameters to satisfy the identity. Third, we recast the identity as invariance of the Wilson action under a non-linear BRST transformation.
