description: Ο κλάδος των Διεθνών Οικονομικών που εξετάζει τις οικονομικές σχέσεις διαφόρων οικονομιών χωρίζεται στις Διεθνείς Νομισματικές Σχέσεις, που εξετάζουν τις σχέσεις οικονομιών σχετικά με το ισοζύγιο πληρωμών και στη Θεωρία του Διεθνούς Εμπορίου που αφορά την μακροχρόνια ισορροπία στις οικονομικές σχέσεις που αναπτύσσονται μεταξύ διαφορετικών οικονομιών. Συγκεκριμένα εξετάζει γιατί η εξειδίκευση αποτελεί βάση για την έναρξη εμπορίου, αν αυτή αυξάνει το επίπεδο ευημερίας των οικονομικών μονάδων και ποια είναι η βάση στην οποία στηρίζεται η δημιουργία εμπορευματικών ροών μεταξύ των κρατών. Τα θέματα που εξετάζονται από τις Διεθνείς Νομισματικές Σχέσεις είναι βραχυχρόνιου χαρακτήρα ενώ της Θεωρίας Διεθνούς Εμπορίου μακροχρόνιου χαρακτήρα.
Η θεωρία Διεθνούς Εμπορίου διακρίνεται:
 στα Θετικά Οικονομικά (positive economics) και
 στα Οικονομικά της Ευημερίας (welfare economics)
Οι βασικές ερωτήσεις που προσπαθούν να βρουν απάντηση στα πλαίσια του κλάδου των θετικών οικονομικών είναι:
o τι αγαθά εμπορεύονται μεταξύ τους οι χώρες
o με ποιόν γίνεται το εμπόριο
o σε τι ποσότητα τα αγαθά θα ανταλλαχθούν.
Τα βασικά θέματα που εξετάζονται στα πλαίσια του κλάδου των οικονομικών ευημερίας είναι:
• Η επίδραση που έχουν σε μια χώρα τα εμπόδια που εισάγονται στην εξαγωγική διακίνηση αγαθών μεταξύ των χωρών (π.χ. δασμολογικά και μη δασμολογικά μέτρα προστασίας).
• Η θεωρία οικονομικής ολοκλήρωσης που εξετάζει τι συμβαίνει μεταξύ χωρών που δημιουργούν προτιμησιακές εμπορικές σχέσεις.
Το βιβλίο απευθύνεται σε φοιτητές οικονομικών τμημάτων που έχουν την πρώτη επαφή τους με τη θεωρία του Διεθνούς Εμπορίου. Οι θεωρίες που παρουσιάζονται για την εξήγηση των εμπορευματικών ροών μεταξύ των χωρών στηρίζονται στην κλασική και νεοκλασική σχολή οικονομικής σκέψης και παρουσιάζονται με την ιστορική τους σειρά. Εξετάζονται επίσης οι θεωρίες Διεθνούς Εμπορίου που εξηγούν τις εμπορευματικές ροές με βάση την τεχνολογική αλλαγή.
Multivalent biological interactions for the detection and inhibition of HIV-1 protease
Creators: name: Herpoldt, Karla-Luise
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Several diseases including cancer and pathogen infection are mediated by protease activity. In HIV infection, the viral protease plays a central role in the virus lifecycle, which has made it a clear therapeutic target. The dominant approach for the treatment of HIV is heavily dependent on inhibitors of this enzyme, but no new drugs have reached the market since 2006. There is thus a need for new design principles for the development of anti-retroviral therapies. Traditional methods of HIV detection are also limited in their use at point-of-care in resource-limited settings due to their reliance on highly trained laboratory personnel, cold-chain transport and expensive reagents. This thesis examines the role of peptide-protein interactions for the inhibition and detection of HIV-1 protease. Phage display is used to isolate heptameric peptide sequences which interact specifically with the enzyme. These peptides are then utilised as sensors for the detection of the enzyme through Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET). The inhibitory properties of the peptides, both in isolation and through multivalent conjugates are also investigated. Finally, insights into the nature of these peptide-protein interactions are explored through molecular docking and all-atom classical molecular dynamics simulations. The expression of recombinant HIV-1 protease in E. coli is also discussed. The peptide based systems described here are expected to be more stable to environmental effects than protein based therapies and it is hoped that this work will provide new pathways for the design of peptide-based therapeutics and diagnostics for protease related diseases which do not rely on traditional methods.
The role of multiple images and model priors in measuring $H_0$ from supernova Refsdal in galaxy cluster MACS J1149.5+2223

description: Multiple image gravitational lensing systems with measured time delays provide a promising one-step method for determining $H_0$. MACS J1149, which lenses SN Refsdal into a quad S1-S4, and two other widely separated images, SX and SY, is a perfect candidate. If time delays are pinned down, the remaining uncertainty arises from the mass distribution in the lens. In MACS J1149, the mass in the relevant lens plane region can be constrained by (i) many multiple images, (ii) the mass of the galaxy splitting S1-S4 (which, we show, is correlated with $H_0$), (iii) magnification of SX (also correlated with $H_0$), and (iv) prior assumptions on the mass distribution. Our goal is not to estimate $H_0$, but to understand its error budget, i.e., estimate uncertainties associated with each of these constraints. Using multiple image positions alone, yields very large uncertainty, despite the fact that the position of SX is recovered to within $\!\le\!0.036$" (rms $\!\le\!0.36$") by GRALE lens inversion. Fixing the mass of the galaxy that splits S1-S4 reduces $1σ$ uncertainties to $\sim 23\%$, while fixing the magnification of SX yields $1σ$ uncertainties of $32\%$. We conclude that smaller uncertainties, of order few percent, are a consequence of imposing prior assumptions on the shapes of the galaxy and cluster mass distributions, which may or may not apply in a highly non-equilibrium environment of a merging cluster. We propose that if a measurement of $H_0$ is to be considered reliable, it must be supported by a wide range of lens inversion methods.

endurance exercises

description: Prophylaxis of severe forms of COVID-19 infection can be achieved by exercising, especially endurance, which stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and improves their functionality, these organelles having a key role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Some drugs and supplements that stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis through exercise (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox), ω3 fatty acids, vitamin C, zinc, vitamin B12, folic acid, magnesium, MitoQ) and others that inhibit it (acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, acetaminophen). The implementation of the medical hypothesis that stimulating muscle biogenesis through moderate-intensity exercise would reduce the risk of developing a severe form of COVID-19 could result in a decrease in the number of deaths by more than a third.
Quantification of combustion regime transitions
Creators: name: Hampp, Fabian
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: The current work provides fundamental understanding of combustion regime transitions from distributed reactions towards the corrugated flamelet regime through a novel application of the multi-fluid approach of Spalding. Aerodynamically stabilised premixed flames were studied in a back-to-burnt opposed jet configuration featuring fractal grid generated multi-scale turbulence (Re ≃ 18,400 and Ret > 350). The chemical timescale was varied via the mixture stoichiometry, fuel reactivity and excess enthalpy with rates of strain exceeding the laminar flame extinction point. Rayleigh thermometry was performed to quantify the reaction zone broadening with large low temperature regions observed. Simultaneous Mie scattering, OH-PLIF and PIV were used to quantify the encounter of intermediate fluid states (i.e. mixing, mildly and strongly reacting) in addition to reactants and combustion products. A physical interpretation was provided for the individual fluid states. The analysis showed self-sustained flames in low strain regions with a collocated and pronounced dilatation for higher Damköhler numbers. By contrast, highly strained regions resulted in an auto-ignition related burning with attenuated dilatation and increased vorticity levels. The variation of the excess enthalpy – in particular for low Damköhler number combustion – illustrates the dominant influence of the burnt gas state on the dilatation and burning mode, with a distinct impact on the scalar flux also evident. The fuel reactivity showed a clear effect on the burning mode transitions, with explicit differences in the resulting flow field. The flow conditions were analysed in terms of Damköhler and Karlovitz numbers based on chemical timescales corresponding to laminar flames and auto-ignition events. The thesis provides novel insights into the underlying conditions leading to com- bustion regime transitions by means of (i) the evolution of multi-fluid probability, (ii) interface, (iii) mean flow field, (iv) conditional velocity and (v) conditional strain statistics evaluated as a function of the Damköhler number. (vi) The combustion mode influence on the scalar transport is discussed and (iv) a tentative 3D regime diagram is provided. The data illustrate the potential of a multi-fluid delineation to quantify a wide range of burning modes of relevance to low polluting combustion technologies.

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the properties of clusters of galaxies in two cosmological models using N-body simulations and the Press-Schecter (PS) theory. In the first model, the initial power spectrum of density fluctuations is in the form P(k) \propto k^{-2} at wavelengths λ<120h^{-1} Mpc. In the second model, the initial linear power spectrum of density fluctuations contains a feature (bump) at wavelengths λ\sim 30-60h^{-1} Mpc which correspond to the scale of superclusters of galaxies. We examine the mass function, peculiar velocities, the power spectrum and the correlation function of clusters in both models for different values of the density parameter Ω_0 and σ_8. The results are compared with observations. We show that in many aspects the second model fits the observed data better than the first simple power law model. We examine the linear theory predictions for the peculiar velocities of peaks in the Gaussian field and compare these to the peculiar velocities of clusters in N-body simulations. The numerical results show that the rms peculiar velocity of clusters increases with cluster richness. The rms peculiar velocity of small clusters is similar to the linear theory expectations, while the rms peculiar velocity of rich clusters is higher than that predicted in the linear theory (\sim 18% for clusters with a mean intercluster separation d_{cl} \sim 30h^{-1} Mpc).

description: Under the assumption of a void-filled Universe we investigate if the characteristic scale of voids can be determined from existing surveys. We use the Voronoi tessellation to create mock surveys and study the properties of the first zero-crossing of the two-point correlation function for various survey geometries. Our main conclusion is that the available data sets should be able to discriminate between 5000 \kms and 12000 \kms voids, if one of these scales actually characterizes the distribution of galaxies.

To this end we apply QCD sum rule method and take into account both the positive and negative parity states corresponding to each possible pentaquark channel having spin $3/2$ or $1/2$. Insisting on the importance of identification of the members of pentaquark family we obtain their spectroscopic parameters such as masses and residues. These parameters are the main inputs in the searches for their electromagnetic, strong and weak interactions.

description: We report initial results from the design and evaluation of two pixellated PIN Cadmium Zinc Telluride detectors and an ASIC-based readout system. The prototype imaging PIN detectors consist of 4X4 1.5 mm square indium anode contacts with 0.2 mm spacing and a solid cathode plane on 10X10 mm CdZnTe substrates of thickness 2 mm and 5 mm. The detector readout system, based on low noise preamplifier ASICs, allows for parallel readout of all channels upon cathode trigger. This prototype is under development for use in future astrophysical hard X-ray imagers with 10-600 keV energy response. Measurements of the detector uniformity, spatial resolution, and spectral resolution will be discussed and compared with a similar pixellated MSM detector. Finally, a prototype design for a large imaging array is outlined.

Modelling, analysis and simulation of incompressible multi-fluid flows
Creators: name: Cimpeanu, Radu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: Multi-fluid flows are omnipresent in our lives, from the fabrication of integrated circuit components in most electronics to the miniature laboratories inside medical tools, and even as a drop of rain splashes onto the wing of an aeroplane. In this thesis we use theoretical and numerical tools to investigate topics from the fascinating world of interfacial flows. The first part of this dissertation is dedicated to the study of multi-fluid systems in small scale channel geometries in the presence of electric fields. We develop the theoretical machinery to address the stabilisation (to the point of complete suppression) of the classical Rayleigh-Taylor instability under the action of an electric field acting in the plane of the liquid-liquid interface. In a related context, in many situations electric fields normal to the fluid-fluid interface may be employed in order to accurately drive instabilities towards beneficial goals. In particular, we discuss novel mechanisms to generate pumping and mixing in millimetre-sized geometries without requiring moving parts or an oncoming flow. In the second part of this thesis we turn our attention to the area of aerodynamics, thus investigating multi-fluid flows in a very different regime, dictated by high speed environments. We initially address one of the canonical problems in fluid mechanics, drop impact onto solid or liquid coated surfaces. This situation arises naturally on an aircraft in either rain or de-icing conditions. A new model for water catch on a surface is proposed, incorporating the violent splashing dynamics occurring in realistic conditions. The impingement of a large number of droplets ultimately leads to the formation of a liquid layer on the surface. We extend the powerful asymptotic framework of triple-deck theory to analyse changes in the flow separation process in the presence of an additional liquid. Flows past surface roughnesses and corners/flaps are discussed as practical examples.

description: We present a systematic investigation of the cosmological constant effects in compact stars interiors in the framework of Einstein's gravity. Consideration of a cosmological constant $Λ$ in compact stars is motivated by the mechanism of acceleration of the observable universe, where $Λ$ is usually related to the dark energy. In particular, we consider compact star mass twins, hybrid neutron stars that populate both the second and third branch of the mass-radius diagram. For those models, the need of consideration of excluded volume effects in the equation of state, resulting from the finite size volume of nucleons, leads to a stiffening of matter causing compact stars to acquire higher mass and radius values. We demonstrate that certain values of the cosmological constant can also modify the compact star properties but in an opposite way. In addition, we find that the inclusion of $Λ$ can have a similar effect to the existence of pasta phases at the hadron-quark interface.

description: Rivina humilis Linnaeus var. scandens Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 122. 1753.
RCN: 1008.
Neotype (Greuter in Greuter & al., Fl. Republ. Cuba, ser. A, 6(3): 18. 2002): [icon] " Rivina " in Plumier, Nov. Pl. Amer.: t. 39, f. [3] a–g. 1703.
Current name: Trichostigma octandrum (L.) H. Walter (Phytolaccaceae).
Note: Although Kellogg (in Howard, Fl. Lesser Antilles 4: 193. 1988) stated "Type: Plumier", the precise element intended is unclear. Linnaeus’ variety has Plumier’s " Rivina scandens racemosa, amplis solani foliis, baccis violaceis" as its diagnosis, but the illustration (t. 39) accompanying this 1703 work is for the genus as a whole, including both this and " Rivina humilis racemosa, baccis puniceis", so it cannot be assumed to depict only one of them, and cannot be regarded as original material for either. However, in the absence of original material for the name, Greuter’s treatment of the plate as the lectotype is accepted as a neotypification.

TYPE Ib/c SUPERNOVAE AND THEIR RELATION TO BINARY STARS

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The present understanding of type Ib/c supernovae and their connection to interacting binaries is reviewed. The problems of the classification and the lack of well-observed events exclude direct inference of progenitor characteristics. The absence of hydrogen lines in the observed spectrum, nevertheless, requires restricted evolutionary schemes to produce suitable progenitor stars for core collapse explosions with no hydrogen envelope. New relative statistics among the supernova types are presented which indicate that SN~Ib/c are on average brighter than SN~II, and with the dense sampling of supernova searches in nearby galaxies, a small intrinsic incidence of SN~Ib/c is determined. The small rates might be in conflict with the observed ratio of massive stars in binaries in the Galaxy.

description: Energy spectra of particles accelerated by the first-order Fermi mechanism are investigated at ultrarelativistic shock waves, outside the range of Lorentz factors considered previously. For particle transport near the shock a numerical method involving small amplitude pitch-angle scattering is applied for flows with Lorentz factors $γ$ from 3 to 243. For large $γ$ shocks a convergence of derived energy spectral indices up to the value $σ_\infty \approx 2.2$ is observed for all considered turbulence amplitudes and magnetic field configurations. Recently the same index was derived for $γ$-ray bursts by Waxman [Astrophys. J. Lett. 485, L5 (1997)].

The effect of energy-dependent electron scattering on thermoelectric transport in novel topological semimetal CoSi

description: These compounds have long been known as promising thermoelectric materials. Recently it was revealed, that they also have unconventional electronic topology. This renewed interest to the investigation of their transport properties. In order to improve theoretical description of thermoelectric transport in these compounds, we take into account electron scattering beyond commonly used constant relaxation time approximation. Using first principle calculations, we investigate the scattering of charge carriers by phonons and point defects. The dependence of the scattering rate on the energy correlates with that for the total density of states. This implies that in this material not only the intraband, but also the interband scattering is important, especially for bands with low density of states. The Seebeck coefficient and the electrical resistivity of CoSi and of dilute solid solutions Co$_{1-x}$M$_x$Si (M=Fe or Ni, $x<0.1$) are calculated as a function of temperature and the alloy composition. We show that the account of strong energy dependence of relaxation time is important for the description of experimentally observed rapid increase of the resistivity and qualitative change of its temperature dependence with the substitution of cobalt for iron, as well as for the description of the magnitude of the Seebeck coefficient, its temperature and composition dependence.

An observational test of common-envelope evolution

description: By analysing and modelling the change in the abundance ratio of $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C and $^{16}$O/$^{17}$O on the surface of the lower mass star of a binary during the common-envelope (CE) phase of evolution, we propose a simple observational test of the CE scenario. The test is based on the infrared measurement of either the $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C or $^{16}$O/$^{17}$O ratio of red dwarfs in post-common envelope binaries (PCEB's). In certain cases (main-sequence red dwarf secondaries in PCEB's without planetary nebulae), as well as determining whether or not accretion has occurred during the CE phase, we can determine the amount of mass accreted during the CE phase and hence the initial mass of the red dwarf component prior to the CE phase. In the other cases considered (low-mass red dwarfs in PCEB's and red dwarf's in PCEB's with planetary nebulae) we can only say whether or not accretion has occurred during the CE phase.

description: We discuss the formation of spectral features in the decelerating ejecta of gamma-ray bursts, including the possible effect of inhomogeneities. These should lead to blueshifted and broadened absorption edges and resonant features, especially from H and He. An external neutral ISM could produce detectable H and He, as well as Fe X-ray absorption edges and lines. Hypernova scenarios may be diagnosed by Fe K-$α$ and H Ly-$α$ emission lines.

description: These guidelines on improving mobility-enabling university partnerships through the use of eQuATIC are meant for practitioners in the field of internationalisation.

The eQuATIC project is based on the initial efforts of Ghent University to strengthen their decision-making process for inter-institutional partners for student mobility based on data. Through a pilot project co-funded by the Flemish Ministry of Higher Education, the project developed, in cooperation with multiple Flemish Higher Education Institutions, an analysis tool for the quality of partnerships and allowed the abovementioned consortium to learn both from the research data presented in this paper, as well as from the practical experiences of the pilot project.

Absolute-Magnitude Calibration for W~UMa-type Systems. II. Influence of Metallicity
Creators: name: Rucinski, Slavek
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A modification to the absolute magnitude calibration for W~UMa-type systems, taking into account differences in metal abundances, is derived on the basis of contact binary systems recently discovered in metal-poor clusters. A preliminary estimate of the magnitude of the metallicity-dependent term for the $(B-V)$-based calibration is $ΔM_V = -(0.3 \pm 0.1) \times [Fe/H]$. The calibration based on the $(V-I_C)$ color is expected to be less sensitive with the correction term $\approx -(0.12\pm 0.05) \times [Fe/H]$.

description: Το σύγγραμμα αποτελεί εκτεταμένη και επικαιροποιημένη εισαγωγή στην κοινωνική, οικονομική και πολιτισμική ιστορία της Βενετίας και της Βενετικής Αυτοκρατορίας. Χρονικά καλύπτει την περίοδο από τον 11ο αιώνα, όταν τίθενται τα θεμέλια της εμπορικής και ναυτιλιακής ανάπτυξης και αποικιακής επέκτασης της Βενετίας, έως τον 18ο αιώνα, όταν το βενετικό κράτος καταλύεται από τα ναπολεόντεια στρατεύματα. Το σύγγραμμα καλύπτει ένα ευρύ γεωγραφικό φάσμα, καθώς επικεντρώνεται αφενός στη Βενετία, διερευνώντας την πορεία ενός μεσαιωνικού αστικού κέντρου που σταδιακά εξελίχθηκε σε ναυτική αυτοκρατορική υπερδύναμη, και αφετέρου στη συγκρότηση της Βενετικής Αυτοκρατορίας στην ιταλική ενδοχώρα, τη Δαλματία και την Ανατολική Μεσόγειο. Στόχος του συγγράμματος είναι η γνωριμία των φοιτητών/τριών με την ιστορία του Βενετικού Κράτους και η εξοικείωση τους με τις βασικές θεματικές και τα θεμελιώδη ερμηνευτικά εργαλεία που έχουν ανανεώσει την ευρωπαϊκή ιστοριογραφία τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες κατά τις οποίες η ιστορία της Βενετίας βρέθηκε στην αιχμή του ερευνητικού ενδιαφέροντος. Το σύγγραμμα αναλύει τις οικονομικές και κοινωνικές δομές και διαδικασίες που κατέστησαν τη Βενετία εμπορική υπερδύναμη ενώ ταυτόχρονα στρέφεται σε ζητήματα της καθημερινότητας, υιοθετώντας οπτικές που αντλούν από την πολιτισμική ιστορία, την ιστορία του φύλου και τη θεωρία της συγκρότησης των ταυτοτήτων. Με αφετηρία το βενετικό παράδειγμα ανιχνεύονται σημεία σύγκλισης και απόκλισης μεταξύ μητρόπολης και κτήσεων ως προς ποικίλες πτυχές της κοινωνικής, οικονομικής και πολιτισμικής ζωής. Το τελευταίο κεφάλαιο φιλοδοξεί να αποτελέσει γέφυρα μεταξύ του παρελθόντος και της σύγχρονης πολιτισμικής παραγωγής, μελετώντας τις αφηγήσεις και αναπαραστάσεις του βενετικού παρελθόντος στον κινηματογράφο.
Τα σύγγραμμα θα καλύπτει πλήρως μαθήματα σχετικά με την ιστορία του Βενετικού Κράτους ενώ θα μπορούσε επίσης να αξιοποιηθεί σε μαθήματα ευρωπαϊκής, μεσαιωνικής και νεότερης ιστορίας και ιστορίας του νέου ελληνισμού
