description: Schizophrenia is associated with several brain deficits, including abnormalities in visual processes. Neuregulin-1 (Nrg1) is a family of trophic factors containing an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain. It is thought to play a role in neural development and has been linked to neuropsychiatric disorders. Abnormal Nrg1 expression has been observed in schizophrenia in clinical studies. Moreover, in schizophrenia, there is more and more evidence found about pathological changes of the retina regarding structural, neurochemical and physiological parameters. However, mechanisms of these changes are not well known. To investigate this, we analysed the function of the visual system using electroretinography (ERG) and the measurement of visual evoked potentials (VEP) in transgenic mice overexpressing Nrg1 type III of three different ages (12 weeks, 24 weeks and 55 weeks). ERG amplitudes tended to be higher in transgenic mice than in control mice in 12-week old mice, whereas the amplitudes were almost similar in older mice. VEP amplitudes were larger in transgenic mice at all ages, with significant differences at 12 and 55 weeks (p values between 0.003 and 0.036). Latencies in ERG and VEP measurements did not differ considerably between control mice and transgenic mice at any age. Our data show for the first time that overexpression of Nrg1 type III changed visual function in transgenic mice. Overall, this investigation of visual function in transgenic mice may be helpful to understand corresponding changes that occur in schizophrenia, as they may find use as biomarkers for psychiatric disorders as well as a potential tool for diagnosis in psychiatry.

description: The operation of near-term quantum technologies requires the development of feasible, implementable, and robust strategies of controlling complex many body systems. To this end, a variety of techniques, so-called "shortcuts to adiabaticty", have been developed. Many of these shortcuts have already been demonstrated to be powerful and implementable in distinct scenarios. Yet, it is often also desirable to have additional, approximate strategies available, that are applicable to a large class of systems. In this work, we hence take inspiration from thermodynamics and propose to focus on the macrostate, rather than the microstate. Adiabatic dynamics can then be identified as such processes that preserve the equation of state, and systematic corrections are obtained from adiabatic perturbation theory. We demonstrate this approach by improving upon fast quasiadiabatic driving, and by applying the method to the quantum Ising chain in the transverse field.

P. DE VOS, 1972; isoneo-, B, G, K!, M, P, PRE!, Z). Plants 6-30 cm, stem subterranean or reaching 20 cm above ground; corm symmetrical, bellshaped with a circular rim of fibrils. Leaves 2-6, basal and usually cauline, narrowly or widely 4-grooved, sometimes ciliate, 0.5-4 mm diam.; outer bracts without visible membranous margins, inner bracts with narrow or wider white or brown membranous margins. Flowers pink to red or coppery orange, often with dark marks around the yellow cup, unscented, tepals elliptic to oblanceolate, 15-35 mm long; filaments 4-8 mm long, anthers 3-7 mm long. Fruiting peduncles suberect or somewhat spreading. Flowering: Aug.-Sep. A very attractive plant, Romulea hirsuta has a wide range in Western Cape Province from Clanwilliam in the north to the Agulhas Peninsula in the south. The species is most often found on granitic or sands slopes and flats but occasionally occurs on clay. A distinctive feature of many populations is the strongly angled or prominently winged peduncle. Populations from the granite hills between Darling and Saldanha are exceptional in having broad leaves with wide longitudinal grooves and often larger flowers than are usual for the species. Most populations of the species have deep pink to red flowers, usually with darker blotches in the throat but the coppery orange-flowered form which occurs along the mountains from Clanwilliam to Hermanus lacks dark markings and is separated with difficulty from the R. triflora, which has yellow flowers.

description: Οι  ανάγκες στα διάφορα τεχνικά έργα στο νησί της Ρόδου καλύπτονται σε μεγάλο ποσοστό από αδρανή υλικά ενός λατομικού χώρου που βρίσκεται στην περιοχή της Έμπωνας στην νοτιοδυτική περιοχή του νησιού. Ο λατομικός χώρος έχει δημιουργηθεί σε περιοχή που δομείται από ασβεστολιθικής σύστασης πετρώματα και φλύσχη της σειράς της Πίνδου.  Από τις δύο λιθολογίες που επικρατούν στην περιοχή ανάπτυξης και δραστηριότητας του λατομικού χώρου ο ασβεστόλιθος και  τα συνοδά ασβεστολιθικά κορήματα είναι τα προϊόντα χρήσης, ενώ ο φλύσχης είναι υλικό το οποίο δεν χρησιμοποιούνται.
Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η δημιουργία ενός αρχικού τρισδιάστατου γεωλογικού μοντέλου της χωρικής κατανομής στην περιοχή του λατομικού χώρου των ασβεστολίθων, των ασβεστολιθικών κορημάτων και του φλύσχη. Το τρισδιάστατο αυτό γεωλογικό μοντέλο εκτός της εποπτείας της χωρικής κατανομής των γεωλογικών σχηματισμών, μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για έναν προσεγγιστικό υπολογισμό των γεωλογικών αποθεμάτων του υλικού ασβεστολιθικής σύστασης (ασβεστόλιθοι και ασβεστολιθικά κορήματα).
Για την επίτευξη του σκοπού αυτού χρησιμοποιήθηκαν πέραν του ψηφιακού μοντέλου εδάφους του λατομικού χώρου λιθολογικά δεδομένα που προέκυψαν από την ερμηνεία των πυρήνων γεωτρήσεων, που διεξήχθησαν κατά την αναγνωριστική ερευνητική φάση της δημιουργίας του σημερινού λατομικού χώρου, που παραχωρήθηκαν από την εταιρία του λατομείου. Πέραν αυτού το τρισδιάστατο αυτό γεωμετρικό γεωλογικό μοντέλο θα μπορούσε να χρησιμεύσει στον μελλοντικό σχεδιασμό παραγωγής του λατομιείου.
Το τρισδιάστατο γεωλογικό μοντέλο κατασκευάστηκε με τη χρήση του λογισμικού πακέτου RockWorks 15 που αποτελεί ένα εργαλείο αποθήκευσης, διαχείρισης, ανάλυσης και απεικόνισης χωρικών γεωλογικών δεδομένων. Μεταξύ των άλλων, το λογισμικό αυτό ειδικεύεται στην απεικόνιση υποεπιφανειακών δεδομένων υπό μορφή γεωτρήσεων, τομών, επάλληλων τομών, στερεών μοντέλων και χαρτών, τόσο σε δισδιάστατο όσο και σε τρισδιάστατο χώρο, δυνατότητες που επέτρεψαν την απεικόνιση του λατομικού χώρου σε εξελικτικά στάδια  εκμετάλλευσης.

description: Reprogramming of metabolic pathways in monocytes and macrophages can induce a proatherosclerotic inflammatory memory called trained innate immunity. Here, we have analyzed the role of the Liver X receptor (LXR), a crucial regulator of metabolism and inflammation, in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced trained innate immunity. Human monocytes were incubated with LXR agonists, antagonists, and oxLDL for 24 h. After five days of resting time, cells were restimulated with the TLR-2 agonist Pam3cys. OxLDL priming induced the expression of LXRalpha but not LXRbeta. Pharmacologic LXR activation was enhanced, while LXR inhibition prevented the oxLDL-induced inflammatory response. Furthermore, LXR inhibition blocked the metabolic changes necessary for epigenetic reprogramming associated with trained immunity. In fact, enrichment of activating histone marks at the IL-6 and TNFalpha promotor was reduced following LXR inhibition. Based on the differential expression of the LXR isoforms, we inhibited LXRalpha and LXRbeta genes using siRNA in THP1 cells. As expected, siRNA-mediated knock-down of LXRalpha blocked the oxLDL-induced inflammatory response, while knock-down of LXRbeta had no effect. We demonstrate a specific and novel role of the LXRalpha isoform in the regulation of oxLDL-induced trained immunity. Our data reveal important aspects of LXR signaling in innate immunity with relevance to atherosclerosis formation.

description: Almost two decades of research on applications of the mathematical formalism of quantum theory as a modeling tool in domains different from the micro-world has given rise to many successful applications in situations related to human behavior and thought, more specifically in cognitive processes of decision-making and the ways concepts are combined into sentences. In this article, we extend this approach to animal behavior, showing that an analysis of an interactive situation involving a mating competition between certain lizard morphs allows to identify a quantum theoretic structure. More in particular, we show that when this lizard competition is analyzed structurally in the light of a compound entity consisting of subentities, the contextuality provided by the presence of an underlying rock-paper-scissors cyclic dynamics leads to a violation of Bell's inequality, which means it is of a non-classical type. We work out an explicit quantum-mechanical representation in Hilbert space for the lizard situation and show that it faithfully models a set of experimental data collected on three throat-colored morphs of a specific lizard species. Furthermore, we investigate the Hilbert space modeling, and show that the states describing the lizard competitions contain entanglement for each one of the considered confrontations of lizards with different competing strategies, which renders it no longer possible to interpret these states of the competing lizards as compositions of states of the individual lizards.

description: The development process of high-fidelity SLAM systems depends on their validation upon reliable datasets. Towards this goal, we propose IBISCape, a simulated benchmark that includes data synchronization and acquisition APIs for telemetry from heterogeneous sensors: stereo-RGB/DVS, Depth, IMU, and GPS, along with the ground truth scene segmentation and vehicle ego-motion. Our benchmark is built upon the CARLA simulator, whose back-end is the Unreal Engine rendering a high dynamic scenery simulating the real world. Moreover, we offer 34 multi-modal datasets suitable for autonomous vehicles navigation, including scenarios for scene understanding evaluation like accidents, along with a wide range of frame quality based on a dynamic weather simulation class integrated with our APIs. We also introduce the first calibration targets to CARLA maps to solve the unknown distortion parameters problem of CARLA simulated DVS and RGB cameras. Finally, using IBISCape sequences, we evaluate four ORB-SLAM3 systems (monocular RGB, stereo RGB, Stereo Visual Inertial (SVI), and RGB-D) performance and BASALT Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO) system on various sequences collected in simulated large-scale dynamic environments.

Plants 5-20 cm high, stem subterranean or reaching 10 cm above ground; corms symmetrical, bell-shaped with a circular ridge of fibril clusters. Leaves 3-4, usually all basal, narrowly 4-grooved, c. 1 mm diam.; outer bracts with narrow or scarcely visible membranous margins, inner bracts with wide colorless or brown-streaked membranous margins. Flowers deep rose-pink to red with black blotches and sometimes stripes in a cream or yellow cup, tepals elliptic to oblanceolate, 18-35 mm long; filaments 3-5 mm long, anthers 8-10 mm long. Flowering: Aug.-Sep. Romulea amoena is a striking plant occurring in sandy soils, mostly in rocky places in the Bokkeveld Mts. south of Nieuwoudtville. The large, brilliant red flowers with a cream cup recall those of several other red-flowered species of the Bokkeveld escarpment. Romulea amoena is unique in section Aggregatae in its symmetrical, bell-shaped corm and all other members of the section have oblique corms with a crescentshaped basal ridge. It is allied to R. sanguinalis in flower colour, leaf anatomy and cytology. Both R. amoena and R. sanguinalis are anomalous in the section in their lack of vascular girders in the leaves and in their chromosome number, suggesting that they be placed in a separate series of section Aggregatae. — Ser.

description: The large amount of information accumulated over the years and the research on the human - or animal – brain, requires simulations and ways to represent the data. These are necessary both for scientists and non-specialized users, in order to understand better the functions and the way that the brain manages any information it acquires.
In the contexts of this diploma thesis, an application has been designed in order to visualize the information obtained after a neural network simulation. The implementation of the Neural Network Simulation is detailed in the diploma thesis titled “Neural Network Simulation Speedup based on Reconfigurable Logic”. The application also enables the input of simulation data, thus acting - in combination with the software system for simulation - as a comprehensive study tool and neural network representation.
Due to the fact that biologists who work in the neurobiology field are using standard forms for displaying exit data of a simulation, in this thesis a different approach is being tested. This approach constitutes an effort on the imaging of a non-photorealistic scene, based on scientific discoveries and microscopic photos.
In opposition with the current forms of displaying neuron data - such as tables, networks with nodes, graphs - a three-Dimensional space is visualized, by using the game engine Unity. Three-dimensional biological models coexist with some of the forms of displaying, as mentioned above.
Two forms of visualization are implemented. The first is based on the idea of raster-plot, but it is a little bit more complicated and more analytic, as it contains the value of cells and dendrites action potential. The second form of visualization was based on the idea of the creation of a three-dimensional world, with three-dimensional neuron cells models in it, and graphs with each neuron and dendrite action potential.

description: In the geometric-optics limit, Yang-Mills gravity with space-time translational gauge symmetry predicts $\D ϕ=7Gm/(2R) \approx 1.53''$ for the deflection of a light ray by the sun. The result, which is about 12% smaller than that in the conventional theory, is consistent with experiments involving optical frequencies that had an accuracy of 10-20%.

description: In this thesis a new implementation of the “Face Detection, Pose Estimation, and Landmark Localization in the Wild” algorithm by Xiangxin Zhu and Deva Ramanan is represented. This implementation was firstly designed for being used by embedded systems but finally it can also be used by large multiprocessors systems. This is because the modern embedded systems tend to be similar to what we used to call multiprocessor systems years ago. Because of the huge needs of the market in the area of embedded systems (smart-phone, tablets and more) the latest embedded system are in the category of small multiprocessor systems using from 2 to 4 and even more cores in their central processing unit.
Our implementation of the “Face Detection, Pose Estimation, and Landmark Localization in the Wild” algorithm was implemented in basic C\C++ as there is no usage of any external C\C++ library in the core of the algorithm. This gives the algorithm the ability to be used in both Windows and UNIX systems with no further changes. It also allows further improvements and alteration as it is easily readable for those who would like to use it for custom application. Our implementation gives the ability of customizing the functionality of the algorithm through a set of settings and parameters that can easily be modified.
As this implementation is designed for usage in embedded systems the need of reducing memory consumption and processing speedup was encounter. For that reason a number of customizations were made in contrast to the original implementation of its creators. There were also produced a set of techniques that some may pull down the algorithm’s performance but in contrast they offer extra speedup and memory saving. These techniques may be very useful for custom application.
Despite any further speedup the main problem of making the face detection task a great time consumer is the fact that the image size in the one that makes it a long time processing. Large images compel the system to create large image pyramids in order to search them for face detection. In addition the larger the top image is the more time is needed to be processed. The main solution on this problem is proposed is the scaling of the original image to a smaller size in order to reduce the number of data needed to be processed. This solution makes the systems faster but they lose part of their performance as scaling an image to a smaller size makes small size faces to be unable for detection. Our implementation offers a method that scans the image pyramid faster for face detections in order to avoid detection processing in pyramid levels that seems to be empty of faces. This can be a very effective method for video application where empty faces frames can be faster processed and rejected.

description: Our understanding of how the Galaxy was formed and evolves is severely hampered by the lack of precise constraints on basic stellar properties such as distances, masses, and ages. Here, we show that solar-like pulsating red giants represent a well-populated class of accurate distance indicators, spanning a large age range, which can be used to map and date the Galactic disc in the regions probed by observations made by the CoRoT and Kepler space telescopes. When combined with photometric constraints, the pulsation spectra of such evolved stars not only reveal their radii, and hence distances, but also provide well-constrained estimates of their masses, which are reliable proxies for the ages of the stars. As a first application we consider red giants observed by CoRoT in two different parts of the Milky Way, and determine precise distances for ~2000 stars spread across nearly 15,000 pc of the Galactic disc, exploring regions which are a long way from the solar neighbourhood. We find significant differences in the mass distributions of these two samples which, by comparison with predictions of synthetic models of the Milky Way, we interpret as mainly due to the vertical gradient in the distribution of stellar masses (hence ages) in the disc. In the future, the availability of spectroscopic constraints for this sample of stars will not only improve the age determination, but also provide crucial constraints on age-velocity and age-metallicity relations at different Galactocentric radii and heights from the plane.

description: In recent years, due to the rise of microservices, cloud com-
puting and now the Internet of Things ( IoT ) the development,
deployment and management of distributed services is more
important than ever. In order to circumvent the challenges that
arise from this evolution, we need tools that, among others, ab-
stract the inherent complexities, manage dependencies, maxi-
mize portability across systems and enhance scalability. Soft-
ware containers encapsulate many of the aforementioned fea-
tures. The Docker project, started in 2013, has enabled users
to easily build, ship and run applications based on contain-
ers, through an automated workflow. Running and managing
multi-container web applications in the cluster infrastructure
though, is not a trivial task, which requires to deal with orches-
tration, service discovery, data and configuration management,
networking e.t.c.
We designed and implemented a container management tool
for multi-container web applications, on single and multi-host
(cluster) environments for development and production. We
consider containers as components offering and requiring ser-
vices, empowering a container-agnostic design. We offer a stan-
dard way to map services for web applications into containers,
complete life-cycle management for containers and provided
services, coordination between dependent services, data man-
agement, service discovery, network isolation with per-application
custom networks, support for private container image registries
and a solution to N-to-N configuration problem between con-
tainers.
title: Analysis of LDPC and Repeat-Accumulate Codes
Creators: name: Γεωργιοπουλος Θεοδωρος
Publisher: name: Technical University of Crete

description: Information Theory was created in 1948, by Claude Shannon. Besides other contributions, Shannon defined the channel capacity and proved that it can be achieved arbitrarily well via channel coding. Since then, both theory and practice for point-to-point communications have been constantly developed, up to the point that, nowadays, techniques for practically attaining channel capacity exist. This has been made possible by the invention of powerful coding methods, such as turbo codes and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. In this thesis, we focus on LDPC codes, which were invented by Robert Gallager in the early Sixties. At that time, the limited available computational power made the use of LDPC codes impractical and prevented scientists from fully understanding their potential. After the introduction of irregular LDPC codes and of practical performance analysis tools in the late nineties, LDPC codes became the most powerful error correcting codes, enabling reliable transmissions at rates close to the channel capacity for a number of communication channels.

description: The task of ranking individuals or teams, based on a set of comparisons between pairs, arises in various contexts, including sporting competitions and the analysis of dominance hierarchies among animals and humans. Given data on which competitors beat which others, the challenge is to rank the competitors from best to worst. Here we study the problem of computing rankings when there are multiple, potentially conflicting modes of comparison, such as multiple types of dominance behaviors among animals. We assume that we do not know a priori what information each behavior conveys about the ranking, or even whether they convey any information at all. Nonetheless we show that it is possible to compute a ranking in this situation and present a fast method for doing so, based on a combination of an expectation-maximization algorithm and a modified Bradley-Terry model. We give a selection of example applications to both animal and human competition.

description: We discuss the deformed sigma-model that arises when considering four-dimensional N=2 abelian vector multiplets in the presence of an arbitrary chiral background field. In addition, we allow for a class of deformations of special geometry by non-holomorphic terms. We analyze the geometry of the sigma-model in terms of intrinsic torsion classes. We show that, generically, the deformed geometry is non-Kahler. We illustrate our findings with an example. We also express the deformed sigma-model in terms of the Hesse potential that underlies the real formulation of special geometry.
