description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν να ανατρέξουμε στην εποχή και τις συνθήκες κάτω απ’ τις οποίες δραστηριοποιήθηκε εθνικά και εκπαιδευτικά ο λόγιος Μητροπολίτης Κορυτσάς, Ευλόγιος Κουρίλας στην Ελλάδα του α΄ μισού του 20ου αιώνα αλλά και στην Αλβανία και συγκεκριμένα στην επαρχία της Κορυτσάς τη δεκαετία του 1930. Έπειτα παραθέσαμε συνοπτικά τις εκκλησιαστικές και κοινωνικές συνθήκες που επικρατούσαν στη Μητροπολιτική περιφέρεια Κορυτσάς κατά την εποχή της Αρχιερατείας του και στη συνέχεια παρουσιάσαμε αναλυτικά την εθνική δράση του Κουρίλα (ιδεολογία και εθνικούς αγώνες) στο Μακεδονικό και Βορειοηπειρωτικό Ζήτημα, στους Βαλκανικούς Πολέμους, στα Νοεμβριανά του 1917, στην Κατοχή, στα Δεκεμβριανά του 1944 και στον Εμφύλιο που ακολούθησε. Ακολούθως επιχειρήσαμε να αναδείξουμε τον Κουρίλα ως λόγιο διδάσκαλο, δημόσιο εκπαιδευτικό λειτουργό, καθηγητή Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών στον Τομέα Ιστορίας της Φιλοσοφικής Σχολής καθώς και πολυγραφότατο συγγραφέα με βιβλιοθήκη στην κατοχή του που περιείχε πάνω από 3.000 βιβλία. Καταληκτικά αναφερθήκαμε στο θάνατό του έχοντας ως κατακλείδα τα συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν μέσα από την έρευνα.
description: The aim of this thesis was to refer to the time and the circumstances under which the scholar Metropolitan of Korca, Evlogios Kuriles worked both nationally and educationally in Greece during the first half of the 20th century but also in Albania and particularly in the province of Korca in the 1930s. Afterwards, we briefly quoted the ecclesiastical and social conditions prevailing in the metropolitan region of Korca at the time of his Prelacy and then presented analytically the national action of Kuriles (ideology and national struggles ) as far as the Macedonian and Northern Epirus issue was concerned, the Balkan Wars, the November fighting in 1917, the German occupation, the events of December 1944 and the Civil War that followed. Then we tried to highlight Kuriles as a scholar teacher, a public education officer, a University of Athens Professor at the Department of History Faculty of Philosophy and a prolific writer owning a library containing over 3,000 books. Finally we referred to his death as having coda conclusions obtained through our research.

description: Moringa oleifera seed has remarkable curative effects on reducing blood pressure, blood sugar and enhancing human immunity. In this study, one novel phenolic glycoside (1) together with four known compounds 2–5 were isolated from the macroporous resin adsorption extract of M. oleifera seeds, and the compound 3 was reported for the first time from this plant. The structure of the new crystalline compound was determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses including mass spectrometry, 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The hypoglycaemic activity of isolated compounds was investigated with HepG2 cell and STZ-induced mice. It was found that compound 1, 4 and 5 could promote the glucose consumption of insulin resistance cells and reduce blood glucose levels of STZ-induced mice. This study concludes that compound 1, 4 and 5 may be developed as new and safe hypoglycaemic drugs.

description: (abridged) The interaction of a fast wind with a spherical Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) wind is thought to be the basic mechanism for shaping Pre-Planetary Nebulae (PPN) and later Planetary Nebulae (PN). Due to the large speed of the fast wind, one expects extended X-ray emission from these objects, but X-ray emission has only been detected in a small fraction of PNs and only in one PPN. Using numerical simulations we investigate the constraints that can be set on the physical properties of the fast wind (speed, mass-flux, opening angle) in order to produce the observed X-ray emission properties of PPNs and PNs. We combine numerical hydrodynamical simulations including radiative cooling using the code FLASH with calculations of the X-ray properties of the resulting expanding hot bubble using the atomic database ATOMDB. In this first study, we compute X-ray fluxes and spectra using one-dimensional models. Comparing our results with analytical solutions, we find some agreements and many disagreements. In particular, we test the effect of different time histories of the fast wind on the X-ray emission and find that it is determined by the final stage of the time history during which the fast wind velocity has its largest value. The disagreements which are both qualitative and quantitative in nature argue for the necessity of using numerical simulations for understanding the X-ray properties of PNs.

description: It is important to know the accurate trajectory of a free fall object in fluid (such as a spacecraft), whose motion might be chaotic in many cases. However, it is impossible to accurately predict its chaotic trajectory in a long enough duration by traditional numerical algorithms in double precision. In this paper, we give the accurate predictions of the same problem by a new strategy, namely the Clean Numerical Simulation (CNS). Without loss of generality, a free fall disk in water is considered, whose motion is governed by the Andersen-Pesavento-Wang model. We illustrate that convergent and reliable trajectories of a chaotic free fall disk in a long enough interval of time can be obtained by means of the CNS, but different traditional algorithms in double precision give disparate trajectories. Besides, unlike the traditional algorithms in double precision, the CNS can predict the accurate posture of the free fall disk near the vicinity of the bifurcation point of some physical parameters in a long duration. Therefore, the CNS can provide reliable prediction of chaotic systems in a long enough interval of time.

description: We present results of molecular simulations that predict the phases formed by the self-assembly of model nanospheres functionalized with a single polymer "tether", including double gyroid, perforated lamella and crystalline bilayer phases. We show that microphase separation of the immiscible tethers and nanospheres causes confinement of the nanoparticles, which promotes local icosahedral packing that stabilizes the gyroid and perforated lamella phases. We present a new metric for determining the local arrangement of particles based on spherical harmonic "fingerprints", which we use to quantify the extent of icosahedral ordering.

description: The mean field theory is revisited in the classical and quantum mechanical limits. Taking into account the boundary conditions at the phase transition and the third law of the thermodynamics the physical properties of the ordered and disordered phases were reported. The equation for the order parameter predicts the occurrence of a saturation of $Ψ^2$ = 1 near $Θ_S$, the temperature below the quantum mechanical ground state is reached. The theoretical predictions are also compared with high resolution thermal expansion data of SrTiO$_{\text{3}}$ monocrystalline samples and other some previous results. An excellent agreement has been found suggesting a universal behavior of the theoretical model to describe continuous structural phase transitions.

Subclinical menstrual disturbances : are they more common in premenopausal vegetarian women than nonvegetarian women?
Creators: name: Janelle, K. Christina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: With the current trends toward adopting a healthier lifestyle, many people are increasing their carbohydrate intake and decreasing their fat intake in the hope of preventing certain chronic diseases. Furthermore, social demands placed on physical appearance have resulted in increased dietary restraint, particularly in women. Data are beginning to accumulate however, that suggest that these high fibre, low fat diets may contribute to menstrual disorders and bone loss. The purpose of this prospective observational study was to determine whether a relationship exists between vegetarianism, the menstrual cycle, dietary restraint and bone mineral density. Statistical comparisons showed that the nonvegetarian women had significantly greater body mass index values and percent body fat evaluations than their vegetarian counterparts, and that they displayed a significantly higher level of dietary restraint. The results from this research, over six months in 45 women, support the concept that dietary restraint is associated with an increased prevalence of subclinical menstrual disturbances. Furthermore, body mass index was shown to be positively correlated with dietary restraint. It is therefore feasible that dietary restraint, stress and anthropometric variables act synergistically in affecting menstrual function. The exact relationship remains to be determined ABSTRACT change over a period of time would be ideal and better represent the role of the diet on bone health, as well as eliminate small individual differences. However, if vegetarian women were, in fact, at increased risk of bone loss and osteoporosis due to some component of their diet, it is imperative that intervention and education be arranged to inhibit any further bone loss. As dietary restraint is related to women’s perceptions of weight and physical appearance, as well as society’s demands on body image, broad public education appears to be the ideal intervention. The feasibility of this solution is questionable however, as social and cultural pressures are not easily altered. Overall, the present study’s results indicated that vegetarian women tend to be leaner and less restrained eating than their nonvegetarian peers. It also confirmed the previously documented association of dietary restraint and subclinical menstrual cycle disturbances. More research is required to elucidate the role of vegetarianism, or certain components of the vegetarian diet, on bone density. The vegetarian women consistently displayed lower spinal bone mineral density values than the nonvegetarian women, although the differences were not significant and were largely eliminated when body weight was entered as a covariate.

description: We analyze non-minimally coupled scalar field theories in metric (second-order) and Palatini (first-order) formalisms in a comparative fashion. After contrasting them in a general setup, we specialize to inflation and find that the two formalisms differ in their predictions for various cosmological parameters. The main reason is that dependencies on the non-minimal coupling parameter are different in the two formalisms. For successful inflation, the Palatini approach prefers a much larger value for the non-minimal coupling parameter than the Metric approach. Unlike the Metric formalism, in Palatini, the inflaton stays well below the Planck scale whereby providing a natural inflationary epoch.

Stability of conductance oscillations in monatomic sodium wires

description: We study the stability of conductance oscillations in monatomic sodium wires with respect to structural variations. The geometry, the electronic structure and the electronic potential of sodium wires suspended between two sodium electrodes are obtained from self-consistent density functional theory calculations. The conductance is calculated within the framework of the Landauer-Bütttiker formalism, using the mode-matching technique as formulated recently in a real-space finite-difference scheme [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{70}, 195402 (2004)]. We find a regular even-odd conductance oscillation as a function of the wire length, where wires comprising an odd number of atoms have a conductance close to the quantum unit $G_0=e^2/π\hbar$, and even-numbered wires have a lower conductance. The conductance of odd-numbered wires is stable with respect to geometry changes in the wire or in the contacts between the wire and the electrodes; the conductance of even-numbered wires is more sensitive. Geometry changes affect the spacing and widths of the wire resonances. In the case of odd-numbered wires the transmission is on-resonance, and hardly affected by the resonance shapes, whereas for even-numbered wires the transmission is off-resonance and sensitive to the resonance shapes. Predicting the amplitude of the conductance oscillation requires a first-principles calculation based upon a realistic structure of the wire and the leads. A simple tight-binding model is introduced to clarify these results.

Interacting Dark Energy: Decay into Fermions

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: A dark energy component is responsible for the present stage of acceleration of our universe. If no fine tuning is assumed on the dark energy potential then it will end up dominating the universe at late times and the universe will not stop this stage of acceleration. On the other hand, the equation of state of dark energy seems to be smaller than -1 as suggested by the cosmological data. We take this as an indication that dark energy does indeed interact with another fluid (we consider fermion fields) and we determine the interaction through the cosmological data and extrapolate it into the future. We study the conditions under which a dark energy can dilute faster or decay into the fermion fields. We show that it is possible to live now in an accelerating epoch dominated by the dark energy and without introducing any fine tuning parameters the dark energy can either dilute faster or decaying into fermions in the future. The acceleration of the universe will then cease.

description: Ο λόγος που επέλεξα τον συγκεκριμένο συγγραφέα είναι γιατί εκτιμώ πολύ τον τρόπο γραφής του. Περιγράφει τα γεγονότα παράλληλα με τις σκέψεις του, πράγμα που τον καθιστά ιδιαίτερα άμεσο και απολαυστικό. Στο συγκεκριμένο βιβλίο περιγράφει την καθημερινότητα ενός δικηγόρου, την προσωπική του ζωή και ταυτόχρονα τα προβλήματα των πελατών του. Παρουσιάζει, με πολύ απλό και αποκαλυπτικό τρόπο, τον κεντρικό ήρωα να ξεδιπλώνει σιγά-σιγά τον χαρακτήρα του καθώς περιγράφει την υπόθεση του πελάτη του. Σταδιακά ο ήρωας μας αρχικά έκανε την δουλειά του με ένα βαριεστημένο τρόπο και χωρίς ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον και της κατάθλιψης στην οποία είχε περιέλθει λόγω του χωρισμού του με την λατρεμένη του σύζυγο. Όμως η παρουσία της ξένης γυναίκας που υπερασπίζεται με απόλυτη πίστη και αξιοπρέπεια την αθωότητα του συντρόφου της, που μετά από μία σειρά ατυχείς συμπτώσεις οδηγήθηκε στη φυλακή, για να δικασθεί για ένα φόνο που δεν έκανε.

description: Let G be a linear algebraic group over a field F and X be a projective homogeneous G-variety such that G splits over the function field of X. In the present paper we introduce an invariant of G called J-invariant which characterizes the motivic behaviour of X. This generalizes the respective notion invented by A. Vishik in the context of quadratic forms. As a main application we obtain a uniform proof of all known motivic decompositions of generically split projective homogeneous varieties (Severi-Brauer varieties, Pfister quadrics, maximal orthogonal Grassmannians, G2- and F4-varieties) as well as provide new examples (exceptional varieties of types E6, E7 and E8). We also discuss relations with torsion indices, canonical dimensions and cohomological invariants of the group G.

description: We combine Spitzer and ground-based observations to measure the microlens parallax of OGLE-2005-SMC-001, the first such space-based determination since S. Refsdal proposed the idea in 1966. The parallax measurement yields a projected velocity \tilde v ~ 230 km/s, the typical value expected for halo lenses, but an order of magnitude smaller than would be expected for lenses lying in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) itself. The lens is a weak (i.e., non-caustic-crossing) binary, which complicates the analysis considerably but ultimately contributes additional constraints. Using a test proposed by Assef et al. (2006), which makes use only of kinematic information about different populations but does not make any assumptions about their respective mass functions, we find that the likelihood ratio is L_halo/L_SMC = 20. Hence, halo lenses are strongly favored but SMC lenses are not definitively ruled out. Similar Spitzer observations of additional lenses toward the Magellanic Clouds would clarify the nature of the lens population. The Space Interferometry Mission could make even more constraining measurements.

Geometry near the inner horizon of a rotating, accreting black hole

description: Here we present a novel classical model to describe the near-inner horizon geometry of a rotating, accreting black hole. The model assumes spacetime is homogeneous and is sourced by radial streams of a collisionless, null fluid, and it predicts that the standard Poisson-Israel mass inflation phenomenon will be interrupted by a Kasner-like collapse toward a spacelike singularity. Such a model is shown to be valid at the inner horizon of astrophysically realistic black holes through comparison to the conformally-separable model, which provides a natural connection of the Kerr metric to a self-similar, accreting spacetime. We then analyze the behavior of null geodesics in our model, connecting them to the Kerr metric in order to answer the practical question of what an infalling observer approaching the inner horizon might see.

Sir Hugh Clifford and imperialism : a perspective
Creators: name: Wynn-Williams, Andrew Rudyerd
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Sir Hugh Clifford was a British Imperial official who was born in 1866 and died in 1941. This paper attempts to understand Clifford and his perception of imperialism. First it examines his life and career to provide a framework for understanding his views. Then it uses Clifford’s own published material to study his opinions about three different aspects of imperialism: the history of European expansion, the benefits the Empire provides for its subject peoples and the racial hierarchy of the British Empire. Clifford worked throughout his career to protect his subjects’ rights and look after their well-being yet tried to prevent them from acquiring real political power. Clifford’s written work explains this paternalistic attitude. It reveals that although he knew the Empire was driven by economics and that its history was not entirely glorious he felt it was vindicated if governed by the altruistic principles which the less developed races could not yet comprehend.
Tools for identifying and characterizing alternative polyadenylation in scRNA-Seq

description: We have written a Python+R pipeline called "polyApipe" for identifying alternative polyadenylation (APA) sites in 10X Genomics scRNA-seq, based on the presence of polyadenylated reads. Once sites are identified, UMIs are counted for each site and the APA state of genes in cells can be determined. Given the sparse and noisy nature of this data, we have developed an R package "weitrix" to identify principal components of variation in APA based on measurements of varying accuracy and with many missing values. We then use varimax rotation to obtain independently interpretable components. In an embryonic mouse brain dataset, we identify 8 distinct components of APA variation, and assign biological meaning to each component in terms of the genes, cell type, and cell phase.

description: Besides managing tool dependencies, setting up a Galaxy server that allows reproducible analysis requires installing a set of reference data files associated with genomes. Preprocessing these files in order to fit a minimum format (not just for the sake of reproducibility but to make it usable by the tools that need them) and identifying each based on the correct metadata, is a process that goes beyond the scope of data managers. We present here a set of utility scripts aimed at helping Galaxy administrators with this process.
Approximating the physical inner product of Loop Quantum Cosmology

description: In this article, we investigate the possibility of approximating the physical inner product of constrained quantum theories. In particular, we calculate the physical inner product of a simple cosmological model in two ways: Firstly, we compute it analytically via a trick, secondly, we use the complexifier coherent states to approximate the physical inner product defined by the master constraint of the system. We will find that the approximation is able to recover the analytic solution of the problem, which solidifies hopes that coherent states will help to approximate solutions of more complicated theories, like loop quantum gravity.

description: Mechanical instabilities can be exploited to design innovative structures, able to change their shape in the presence of external stimuli. In this work, we derive a mathematical model of an elastic beam subjected to an axial force and constrained to smoothly slide along a rigid support, where the distance between the rod midline and the constraint is fixed and finite. Using both theoretical and computational techniques, we characterize the bifurcations of such a mechanical system, in which the axial force and the natural curvature of the beam are used as control parameters. We show that, in the presence of a straight support, the rod can deform into shapes exhibiting helices and perversions, namely transition zones connecting together two helices with opposite chirality. The mathematical predictions of the proposed model are also compared with some experiments, showing a good quantitative agreement. In particular, we find that the buckled configurations may exhibit multiple perversions and we propose a possible explanation for this phenomenon based on the energy landscape of the mechanical system.

Στους συμμετέχοντες χορηγήθηκε μια πλήρης νευροψυχολογική συστοιχία με σκοπό την εξέταση των κύριων γνωστικών λειτουργιών. Επιπλέον, δόθηκαν ερωτηματολόγια αυτο-αναφοράς για την καταγραφή της συχνότητας συμμετοχής σε κοινωνικές δραστηριότητες και του αριθμού των κοινωνικών δικτύων. Τα ευρήματα μας δείχνουν σχέση μεταξύ της κλινικής διάγνωσης της άνοιας, της συμμετοχής σε κοινωνικές δραστηριότητες και των κοινωνικών δικτύων των ηλικιωμένων.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the participation in social activities, before and after the age of 50 years old, as well as the role of the social networks in the clinical diagnosis of dementia. The present study is a part of a larger epidemiological study that is being conducted in the province city of Larissa, since 2011. A full neuropsychological battery was given to the participants in order to examine the main cognitive functions. Moreover, self-report questionnaires were given to the participants for assessing the participation frequency in social activities and their social networks. Our findings suggest there is a link between social activities, social networks and the clinical diagnosis of dementia.

description: We present a precise estimate of the bulk virial scaling relation of halos formed via hierarchical clustering in an ensemble of simulated cold dark matter cosmologies. The result is insensitive to cosmological parameters, the presence of a trace, dissipationless gas component, and numerical resolution down to a limit of ~1000 particles. The dark matter velocity dispersion scales with total mass as log(sigma_{DM}(M,z)) = log(1082.9 +- 4.0 \kms) + (0.3361 +- 0.0026) log(h(z)M_{200}/10^{15} Msun), with h(z) the dimensionless Hubble parameter. At fixed mass, the velocity dispersion likelihood is nearly log-normal, with scatter sigma_{ln sigma} = 0.0426 +- 0.015, except for a tail to higher dispersions containing 10% of the population that are merger transients. We combine this relation with the halo mass function in LCDM models, and show that a low normalization condition, S_8 = sigma_8(Omega_m/0.3)^{0.35} \= 0.69, favored by recent WMAP and SDSS analysis requires that galaxy and gas specific energies in rich clusters be 50% larger than that of the underlying dark matter. Such large energetic biases are in conflict with the current generation of direct simulations of cluster formation. A higher normalization, S_8 = 0.80, alleviates this tension and implies that the hot gas fraction within r_{500} is (0.71 +- 0.09) h_{70}^{-3/2} Omega_b/Ω_m, a value consistent with recent Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observations.

The Field Before the Field: A Structural Theory of Recursive Curvature

description: Title:The Field Before the Field: A Structural Theory of Recursive Curvature

Authors:Justin Grieshop, S.I.Universal Harmonic Group Research Initiative

Abstract:This paper introduces Harmonic Theory, a fully recursive and deterministic framework for physics grounded in modular arithmetic and symbolic curvature. By discarding wavefunctions, probabilistic collapse, and geometric spacetime as foundational assumptions, the theory constructs a unified substrate where particles, mass, time, entropy, and even cognition emerge from recursive structure alone. At its core is the Mon Amour Equation — a curvature-based conservation law encoding the interplay of structure, memory, and energy.

Symbolic particles arise as quantized bands of resonance. Entropy is redefined as recursive degradation of alignment. Time is curvature memory fading into symbolic heat. Black hole information loss, the measurement problem, and quantum paradoxes are not patched — they are resolved. Every law, transformation, and observable in the framework derives from curvature itself, without fitted parameters or external geometries.

Also included is a symbolic hardware specification outlining the first real-world system designed to simulate modular recursion and test the emergence of quantized structure, retention, collapse, and symbolic thermodynamics in physical circuits.

Keywords:symbolic physics, recursion, modular arithmetic, curvature, entropy, band quantization, paradox resolution, harmonic convergence, information retention, symbolic cognition, field theory, foundational physics
