Clytemnestra both victim and executioner
Creators: name: Calabrese, Marinella
Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2019
Subjects: Clytemnestra; Victim; Executioner; Analytical Psychology.

description: The present article deals with the relation between the concept of mask and some dynamics of fiction and revelation related to it. Each person, in the sense of individual, wears more masks, according to the roles and contexts of the society in which they live. The mask hides and, at the same time, reveals parts of the subject's personality. Even in the dynamic "victim-executioner" the roles, although apparently opposed, can sometimes be confused and overturned, and the masks can be exchanged. Among the figures of Greek mythology, Clytemnestra, the uxoricide who witnessed the murder of her first husband and newborn son, who saw the beloved daughter Iphigenia sacrificed for her husband Agamemnon's cravings for power, embodies the double role of victim and executioner. Clytemnestra has no other way to claim her role as a wounded mother and betrayed queen, if not to take power and exercise it in a bloody way: from being a victim she becomes an executioner, manifesting in her actions the primitive, cruel and murderous part she despised in the husband and in the world that surrounds her.

Mask as an epiphenomenon of the complex in psychotherapy
Creators: name: Frisone, Fabio
Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2019
Subjects: Mask; Complex; Psychotherapy.

description: One of the pitfalls in the psychotherapeutic field can be traced when working on the patient's complexes. In order to highlight the implications offered by the function of the mask, capable even of being revealed as a true epiphenomenon of the complexes in the psychotherapeutic path, the work presented, starting from the analytical theoretical framework, highlights the semantic peculiarities offered by C.G. Jung in reference to the concepts that the analytical psychologist himself offers on the themes attributable to the mask and the complex. The methods through which analytical psychology moves in the therapeutic path allow us to grasp the originals of - as they are not produced with a conscious intention – the therapeutic possibilities offered by the analysis of the dream. Indeed, it will be through the interpretation of dreams, that the highlighting of a patient's psychotherapy complexes will be most possible. In the final phase, the conclusions will be drawn on the principal limits and resources of the analytical therapeutic pathway.

An evaluation of the state of nitrate/nitrogen contamination of the Abbotsford-Sumas acquifer
Creators: name: Ryan, Patrick J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis concerns groundwater quality with a detailed study of the Abbotsford-Sumas Aquifer and the high nitrate-nitrogen values that have been occurring for the past 20 or so years. Groundwater is becoming an increasingly scarce resource, both in terms of quantity and quality, worldwide. Aquifers are generally poorly understood, dynamic and are an integral part of the hydrological cycle. Aquifer contamination by land use activities threatens their utility as potable sources of water. The literature suggests that one useful measure of the effects of land use on water contamination is nitrate-nitrogen. This substance may be traced to such activities as agricultural practices and septic systems, two major concerns in the area above the Abbotsford-Sumas Aquifer in southwestern British Columbia. The Abbotsford-Sumas Aquifer was examined in detail with a review of the history, geology, hydrogeology, stakeholders, groundwater use and the current identified contamination. Based on the hydrogeology and land use of the aquifer, a representative study area was selected as a case study. With a focus on nitrate-nitrogen the principle objectives were: to determine land use effects on groundwater contamination, assess the contributions of various nitrogen sources and assess the overall impact of intensive land use on the groundwater contamination. This was investigated by a temporal land use evaluation, a nitrogen / nitrate balance and a review of water quality changes. The major land use change in the study area over the period 1969 to 1992 has been the increase in land used for raspberry production which now accounts for over half of the study area. The nitrogen balance revealed a large quantity of nitrogen unaccounted for which is potentially available for leaching. The predominate source of this excess nitrogen is attributed to the high levels of poultry manure fertilizer applied to the soils supporting raspberry crops. Calculations of the nitrogen sources suggest over 90 percent of the excess nitrogen comes from this source. This was well above the other nitrogen sources such as mineralisation, aerial deposition, septic systems, corn crops and pasture land. Although a minor overall nitrogen source, septic tanks appeared to have the potential for high local loadings of nitrate-nitrogen. The water quality data showed increases in nitrate-nitrogen concentrations in the groundwater over the last 40 years. Seventy percent of the water samples showed nitrate-nitrogen values above the Canadian Drinking Water Guideline maximum value allowed in drinking water. The data however displayed significant variability.

description: Considering the kinematics of the moving frame associated with a constant mean curvature surface immersed in S^3 we derive a linear problem with the spectral parameter corresponding to elliptic sinh-Gordon equation. The spectral parameter is related to the radius R of the sphere S^3. The application of the Sym formula to this linear problem yields constant mean curvature surfaces in E^3. Independently, we show that the Sym formula itself can be derived by an appropriate limiting process R -> infinity.

description: We consider the zeroth-order optimization problem in the huge-scale setting, where the dimension of the problem is so large that performing even basic vector operations on the decision variables is infeasible. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm, coined ZO-BCD, that exhibits favorable overall query complexity and has a much smaller per-iteration computational complexity. In addition, we discuss how the memory footprint of ZO-BCD can be reduced even further by the clever use of circulant measurement matrices. As an application of our new method, we propose the idea of crafting adversarial attacks on neural network based classifiers in a wavelet domain, which can result in problem dimensions of over 1.7 million. In particular, we show that crafting adversarial examples to audio classifiers in a wavelet domain can achieve the state-of-the-art attack success rate of 97.9%.

description: In previous work, we established a duality between the algebraic de Rham cohomology of a flat algebraic connection on a smooth quasi-projective surface over the complex numbers and the rapid decay homology of the dual connection relying on a conjecture by C. Sabbah, which has been proved recently by T. Mochizuki for algebraic connections in any dimension. In the present article, we verify that Mochizuki's results allow to generalize these duality results to arbitrary dimensions also.
Artificial event horizons in Weyl semimetal heterostructures and their non-equilibrium signatures

description: We investigate transport in type-I/type-II Weyl semi\-metal heterostructures that realize effective black- or white-hole event horizons. We provide an exact solution to the scattering problem at normal incidence and low energies, both for a sharp and a slowly-varying Weyl cone tilt profile. In the latter case, we find two channels with transmission amplitudes analog to those of Hawking radiation. Whereas the Hawking-like signatures of these two channels cancel in equilibrium, we demonstrate that one can favor the contribution of either channel using a non-equilibrium state, either by irradiating the type-II region or by coupling it to a magnetic lead. This in turn gives rise to a peak in the two-terminal differential conductance which can serve as an experimental indicator of the artificial event horizon.

Structure and Stability of Phase Transition Layers in the Interstellar Medium

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We analyze the structure and stability of the transition layer (or front) that connects the cold neutral medium and warm neutral medium in the plane-parallel geometry. Such fronts appear in recent numerical simulations of a thermally bistable interstellar medium. The front becomes an evaporation or condensation front depending on the surrounding pressure. The stability analysis is performed in both long- and short-wavelength approximations. We find that the plane-parallel evaporation front is unstable under corrugational deformations, whereas the condensation front seems to be stable. The instability is analogous to the Darrieus-Landau instability in combustion front. The growth rate of the instability is proportional to the speed of the evaporation flow and the corrugation wavenumber for modes with wavelength much longer than the thickness of the front, and it is suppressed at scales approximately equal to the thickness of the front. The timescale of the instability is smaller than the cooling timescale of the warm neutral medium ($\sim 1$ Myr), and can be as small as the cooling timescale of the cold neutral medium ($\sim 0.01-0.1$ Myr). Thus, this instability should be one of the processes for driving the interstellar turbulence.

description: The left-handed sneutrino in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) has been ruled out as a viable thermal dark matter candidate, due to conflicting constraints from direct detection experiments and from the measurement of the dark matter relic density. The intrinsic fine-tuning problem of the MSSM, however, motivates an extension with a new U(1)' gauge symmetry. We show that in the U(1)'-extended MSSM the right-handed sneutrino becomes a good thermal dark matter candidate. We identify two generic parameter space regions where the combined constraints from relic density determinations, direct detection and collider searches are all satisfied.

Composability of global phase invariant distance and its application to approximation error management
Creators: name: Mukhopadhyay, Priyanka
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many quantum algorithms can be written as a composition of unitaries, some of which can be exactly synthesized by a universal fault-tolerant gate set, while others can be approximately synthesized. A quantum compiler synthesizes each approximately synthesizable unitary up to some approximation error, such that the error of the overall unitary remains bounded by a certain amount. In this paper we consider the case when the errors are measured in the global phase invariant distance. Apart from deriving a relation between this distance and the Frobenius norm, we show that this distance composes. If a unitary is written as a composition (product and tensor product) of other unitaries, we derive bounds on the error of the overall unitary as a function of the errors of the composed unitaries. Our bound is better than the sum-of-error bound (Bernstein,Vazirani,1997), derived for the operator norm. This indicates that synthesizing a circuit using global phase invariant distance maybe done with less number of resources. Next we consider the following problem. Suppose we are given a decomposition of a unitary. The task is to distribute the errors in each component such that the T-count is optimized. Specifically, we consider those decompositions where $R_z(θ)$ gates are the only approximately synthesizable component. We prove analytically that for both the operator norm and global phase invariant distance, the error should be distributed equally among these components (given some approximations). The optimal number of T-gates obtained by using the global phase invariant distance is less. Furthermore, we show that in case of approximate Quantum Fourier Transform, the error obtained by pruning rotation gates is less when measured in this distance.

description: Sub-10nm wide graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistors (GNRFETs) are studied systematically. All sub-10nm GNRs afforded semiconducting FETs without exception, with Ion/Ioff ratio up to 10^6 and on-state current density as high as ~2000uA/um. We estimated carrier mobility ~200cm2/Vs and scattering mean free path ~10nm in sub-10nm GNRs. Scattering mechanisms by edges, acoustic phonon and defects are discussed. The sub-10nm GNRFETs are comparable to small diameter (d<=~1.2nm) carbon nanotube FETs with Pd contacts in on-state current density and Ion/Ioff ratio, but have the advantage of producing all-semiconducting devices.

description: Long-term neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations in full general relativity are performed for the collapse of rotating massive stars that are evolved from He-stars with their initial mass of $20$ and $32M_\odot$. It is shown that if the collapsing stellar core has sufficient angular momentum, the rotationally-supported proto-neutron star (PNS) survives for seconds accompanying the formation of a massive torus of mass larger than $1\,M_\odot$. Subsequent mass accretion onto the central region produces a massive and compact central object, and eventually enhances the neutrino luminosity beyond $10^{53}$\,erg/s, resulting in a very delayed neutrino-driven explosion in particular toward the polar direction. The kinetic energy of the explosion can be appreciably higher than $10^{52}$ erg for a massive progenitor star and compatible with that of energetic supernovae like broad-line type-Ic supernovae. By the subsequent accretion, the massive PNS collapses eventually into a rapidly spinning black hole, which could be a central engine for gamma-ray bursts if a massive torus surrounds it.

description: Pre-trained representations are becoming crucial for many NLP and perception tasks. While representation learning in NLP has transitioned to training on raw text without human annotations, visual and vision-language representations still rely heavily on curated training datasets that are expensive or require expert knowledge. For vision applications, representations are mostly learned using datasets with explicit class labels such as ImageNet or OpenImages. For vision-language, popular datasets like Conceptual Captions, MSCOCO, or CLIP all involve a non-trivial data collection (and cleaning) process. This costly curation process limits the size of datasets and hence hinders the scaling of trained models. In this paper, we leverage a noisy dataset of over one billion image alt-text pairs, obtained without expensive filtering or post-processing steps in the Conceptual Captions dataset. A simple dual-encoder architecture learns to align visual and language representations of the image and text pairs using a contrastive loss. We show that the scale of our corpus can make up for its noise and leads to state-of-the-art representations even with such a simple learning scheme. Our visual representation achieves strong performance when transferred to classification tasks such as ImageNet and VTAB. The aligned visual and language representations enables zero-shot image classification and also set new state-of-the-art results on Flickr30K and MSCOCO image-text retrieval benchmarks, even when compared with more sophisticated cross-attention models. The representations also enable cross-modality search with complex text and text + image queries.

Getting to the table: making the decision to negotiate comprehensive land claims in British Columbia
Creators: name: Thomas, Patty
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Although the rest of Canada has a long history of treaty making, British Columbia has refused to negotiate treaties with Natives since 1854. In 1991, B.C. reversed this position. Events across Canada in the years 1990 and 1991 provide a case study to explain why this decision was made. Quebec’s Oka crisis catalyzed the decision making process underway in B.C. First, during the Oka crisis, B.C. agreed to cooperate with the federal government on a strategy to settle Indian land claims. Second, following the Oka crisis, the First Nations and the federal and provincial governments set up the B.C. Claims Task Force to recommend how these negotiations should proceed. Third, the Task Force made recommendations to address numerous Native grievances and to prevent “another Oka.” Fourth, because of the changed political environment in B.C., both governments accepted all the Task Force’s recommendations by December 10, 1991. It can be argued that B.C. took a rational approach in making this decision to negotiate. The B.C. comprehensive claims conflict can be viewed as part of the evolution of the Native/non—Native relationship in Canada. In early Canada, the two parties initially cooperated through trading and military alliances. Next, in the coercive phase of their relationship, the parties interacted through treaty making and assimilation attempts. Starting in 1969, Natives used protests, lobbying, and legal cases to confront non—Natives. Although B.C. followed a similar pattern, this province’s most notable difference is that no major treaties were signed here. Now, by agreeing to negotiate comprehensive land claims, B.C. is starting to re—establish the cooperative relationship that Natives and non—Natives initially had.
XY magnetism, Kitaev exchange, and long-range frustration in the $J_{\rm eff}=1/2$ honeycomb cobaltates

description: The quest for Kitaev quantum spin liquids has led to great interest in honeycomb quantum magnets with strong spin-orbit coupling. It has been recently proposed that even Mott insulators with $3d$ transition metal ions, having nominally weak spin-orbit coupling, can realize such exotic physics. Motivated by this, we study the rhombohedral honeycomb cobaltates CoTiO$_3$, BaCo$_2$(PO$_4$)$_2$, and BaCo$_2$(AsO$_4$)$_2$, using $\textit{ab initio}$ density functional theory, which takes into account realistic crystal field distortions and chemical information, in conjunction with exact diagonalization numerics. We show that these Co$^{2+}$ magnets host $j_\text{eff}=1/2$ local moments with highly anisotropic $g$-factors, and we extract their full spin Hamiltonians including longer-range and anisotropic exchange couplings. For CoTiO$_3$, we find a nearest-neighbor easy-plane ferromagnetic $XXZ$ model with additional bond-dependent anisotropies and interlayer exchange, which supports three-dimensional (3D) Dirac nodal line magnons. In contrast, for BaCo$_2$(PO$_4$)$_2$ and BaCo$_2$(AsO$_4$)$_2$, we find a strongly suppressed interlayer coupling, and significant frustration from additional third-neighbor antiferromagnetic exchange mediated by P/As. Such bond-anisotropic $J_1$-$J_3$ spin models can support collinear zig-zag or coplanar spiral ground states; we discuss their dynamical spin correlations which reveal a gapped Goldstone mode, and argue that the effective parameters of these pseudospin-$1/2$ models may be strongly renormalized by coupling to a low energy spin-exciton. Our results call for re-examining proposals for realizing Kitaev spin liquids in the honeycomb cobaltates.

From the Greek theater to the mind: the opportunities of the mask

Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2019
Subjects: Greek theatre; Mind; Mask.

description: From some elements of the mask in the ancient Greek theatre which are expressed in the current civilization and psychic economy, it is possible to identify positive some psychological functions that can be performed by the mask, especially the self-protection and the possibility to put into play unknown parts of the self, therefore meeting the diveristy within and outside us. It's highlighted how the ongoing simplification in the mask could on one side offer a supporting screen in a society that multiplies images and amplifies the fragmentation risk, and on the other could reduce the risk of distortions of one own’s image in the other’s eyes. Therefore, the problem of believable speakers on which one could put his epistemophilic trust is arised and this is linked to the theme of openness to the future, to the persistence and the necessity of sharing, of relationship. Namely, it’s highlighted the possibility offered by the mask of experimenting what is not yet, but is present in the desire, as a sort of anticipating background that, instead of being closed in a mental fantasy or in a daydream, is played in the reality (virtual?). It's underlined how this function stays in a delicate balance between experimentation – the “carnival” function – and the gamble and its collocation could therefore fluctuate between the work-in-progress frame and the suicidary one, in which parts of the self can be integrated rather than reduced. Finally, highlighting the dimension of beauty and culture, recalled from the Greek theatre mask, it’s adfirmed the importance of these values, translated as play and care systems, a transitional space, in the psychological and psychotherapy fields. The explained themes are lastly evoked and exemplified through the illustration of a clinical case.

description: Recent literature underlines that, during adolescence, social networks are used to manage friendships. The reflection on the relational dynamics in social networks is based on the construction and shaping identity; online identity becomes not only personal information published on the Internet but also support in defining identity in peer group situations.Internet becomes an integral part of their experiential context, weakening influence of the family context on the development of identity. In this process, the web becomes both architect and theatre of Identity achievement, and it enables the adolescents to choose an impressive visual and comprehensive filter for their lives, contributing to the “Mask” construction or the genesis of a “Pseudo-Self”.The research goal is to investigate the influence of family functioning on the perception of risky behaviors as well as the disfunctional use of the Internet in a group of Italian adolescents, taking part in a research-intervention, carried out within school organizational context. The research involved 110 high school students, aged between 15 and 18 (with an average age of 16.14 years), who, in test and test-re test phases, completed the following instruments: Family Assessment Device, Cognitive Appraisal of Risky Events, and Internet Addiction Test. Data show that the perceived behavioral control determines a higher risk perceptions; an elevated problem-solving capacity and family communication lead to reduce the internet use in students. In the field of identity development, the reflection on the relationship between the image and its representation on the social networks is fundamental, in order to help adolescents to become aware of their choices.

description: The single ion properties of the zig-zag chain compound SrTm$_2$O$_4$ have been investigated using heat capacity, magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, inelastic neutron scattering, and polarized muon spectroscopy. Two crystal field models are employed to estimate the single ion properties; a Density Function Theory based model and an effective charge model based on the Hutchings point charge model. The latter describes our experimental results well. This model estimates an easy-axis anisotropy for one of the Tm$^{3+}$ sites and an easy-plane anisotropy for the second site. It also predicts a mixed ground state with dominating $J = 0$ characteristics for both sites. Additionally, muon spin rotation/relaxation ($μ^+$SR) spectra reveal oscillations, typically a sign of long-range magnetic order. However, the temperature dependence of the precession frequency and the relaxation rates indicate that the system is in an extended critical regime and the observed relaxation is actually dynamic.
The “fluid mask” of Antonin Artaud: effects of corporeal hyperreflexivity on schizophrenic subjects
Creators: name: Pennisi, Giovanni
Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2019
Subjects: Fluid Mask; Corporeal hyperreflexivity; Shizofrenia

description: The aim of this paper is to frame schizophrenia as a paradigm for the identification of the bodily roots of self. In order to do that, we will deepen the knowledge of a central figure of twentieth-century theatre: the schizophrenic playwright, actor and poet Antonin Artaud. However, we will not focus on his notorious conceptualization of theatre, but rather on the interpretation that an influential psychiatrist – namely, Louis Sass – gave to some excerpts of his early writings, such as The Umbilicus of Limbo, The Nerve Meter and Fragments of a Journal in Hell, which all date back to 1925. The reason why such collections of poems and disorganized thoughts are particularly interesting is that they shed light on some typical traits of schizophrenia, such as disembodiment, self-fragmentation and a tendency towards the “explication of the implicit”, or hyperreflexivity. The writings of Artaud will serve us as a key to understanding the schizophrenic corporeity, since his words reflect the tormented relationship that all the patients have with their own body. We will address the topic of the problematic subject-body relationship starting with one of the most peculiar features of schizophrenic alienation: the distorted, inharmonious, mask-like perception of one’s own and others’ face.

description: We propose a WIMP candidate with an ``excited state'' 1-2 MeV above the ground state, which may be collisionally excited and de-excites by e+e- pair emission. By converting its kinetic energy into pairs, such a particle could produce a substantial fraction of the 511 keV line observed by INTEGRAL/SPI in the inner Milky Way. Only a small fraction of the WIMPs have sufficient energy to excite, and that fraction drops sharply with galactocentric radius, naturally yielding a radial cutoff, as observed. Even if the scattering probability in the inner kpc is << 1% per Hubble time, enough power is available to produce the ~3x10^42 pairs per second observed in the Galactic bulge. We specify the parameters of a pseudo-Dirac fermion designed to explain the positron signal, and find that it annihilates chiefly to e+e- and freezes out with the correct relic density. We discuss possible observational consequences of this model.

description: We study the structure of the accretion flow in the hard state of the black-hole X-ray binary MAXI~J1820+070 with \nicer data. The power spectra show broadband variability which can be fit with four Lorentzian components peaking at different time scales. Extracting power spectra as a function of energy enables the energy spectra of these different power spectral components to be reconstructed. We found significant spectral differences among Lorentzians, with the one corresponding to the shortest variability time scales displaying the hardest spectrum. Both the variability spectra and the time-averaged spectrum are well-modelled by a disc blackbody and thermal Comptonization, but the presence of (at least) two Comptonization zones with different temperatures and optical depths is required. The disc blackbody component is highly variable, but only in the variability components peaking at the longest time scales ($\gsim1$ s). The seed photons for the spectrally harder zone come predominantly from the softer Comptonization zone. Our results require the accretion flow in this source to be structured, and cannot be described by a single Comptonization region upscattering disc blackbody photons, and reflection from the disc.

Faces in the Brain

Subjects: Face recognition; Emotion, Experience; Mind-reading; Pareidolia; Prosopagnosia; Social cognition.

description: In this paper it will be investigated the distinction – supported by experimental data – of two different degrees within the so-called face perception: 1) The automatic perception/detection of faces; 2) The recognition of a specific face, that concerns personal meanings association – a story, we could say – to that first automatic perceptual configuration. In general, the first degree is a basic perception process, a universal, innate and early capacity belonging to all human beings. It includes three face-selective regions in the brain, with the OFA and the STS who process the partial data of faces, and the FFA that “produces” the overall basic form. The second degree consists in a complex recognition process, which implies the activation of many cerebral areas with different functions such as, for example, the subcortical regions responsible for emotions modulation (amygdala, insula), the intraparietal sulcus, the auditory cortex. It associates a given perceptual pattern with specific semantic entities, which compose a qualitative complex of experience, knowledge and subjective understanding.

description: We present a large family of Spin(p,q)-valued discrete spectral problems. The associated discrete nets generated by the so called Sym-Tafel formula are circular nets (i.e., all elementary quadrilaterals are inscribed into circles). These nets are discrete analogues of smooth multidimensional immersions in R^m including isothermic surfaces, Guichard nets, and some other families of orthogonal nets.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, μετά από μια σύντομη περιγραφή του Διεθνούς Αερολιμένα Θεσσαλονίκης, εστιάζεται στην ανάλυση της επιβατικής και της εμπορευματικής κίνησής του καθώς και στην ανάλυση του επιπέδου εξυπηρέτησης που παρέχει το αεροδρόμιο, έτσι όπως το αντιλαμβάνεται ο επιβάτης. Συγκεκριμένα, αναλύει την αεροπορική κίνηση κατά τη χρονική περίοδο 2009-2016, τόσο σε μακροσκοπικό επίπεδο όσο και σε επίπεδο φόρτων μικρής διάρκειας. Μελετά, για το διάστημα από τον Μάιο έως τον Αύγουστο του 2018, το βαθμό ικανοποίησης των χρηστών για τις βασικές λειτουργίες που παρέχονται στον αεροσταθμό, όπως επίσης και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο οργανώνει ο αναχωρούν επιβάτης το αεροπορικό του ταξίδι, από την έκδοση του εισιτηρίου μέχρι τον τρόπο πρόσβασης στο αεροδρόμιο. Επίσης, μελετά πώς οι επιλογές των επιβατών επηρεάζουν τη λήψη αποφάσεων όσον αφορά την αντικατάσταση βασικών διαδικασιών μέσα στον αερολιμένα με νέες τεχνολογίες, αλλά και πώς επηρεάζουν τη φόρτιση του οδικού δικτύου κατά την τυπική ώρα αιχμής. Καταλήγει, προτείνοντας τη χρήση τεχνολογικών συστημάτων σε συγκεκριμένα στάδια της διαδικασίας του ταξιδιού μέσα στον αεροσταθμό.
description: This research, after a short description of Thessaloniki International Airport, focuses on the analysis of its passenger and freight traffic as well as the analysis of the level of services provided by the airport as perceived by the passenger. In particular, it analyzes air traffic in the period 2009-2016, both at the macroscopic level and the level of short-term loads. It studies for the period from May to August 2018 the degree of users’ satisfaction for basic functions provided at the terminal as well as the way in which the departing passenger organizes his / her air travel, from the issue of the ticket to the way access to the airport. Also, it studies how passenger choices affect decision-making on the replacement of basic procedures at the airport with new technologies, but also how they affect the charging of the road network at the typical peak time. It concludes by proposing the use of technology systems at specific stages of the travel process at the terminal.

description: The following are reflections of a clinical psychologist and a psychotherapist; first of all it’s important to remember that the task of the disciplinary sector is to find applications of the clinical report, hence the gaps, that other scholars will find, derive from the precise professional context that does not intend to avoid drawing on other knowledge to improve the care in suffering; also the therapeutic plan, of a clear analytical inspiration, wants to obtain from the culture those necessary cues for the amplifications that make the original psychotherapy according to the thought of C.G Jung.

Adolescent phobia as a “mask object”
Creators: name: Merlo, Emanuele Maria
Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2019
Subjects: Adolescence; Phobia; Mask; Psychopathology ; Solitude.

description: As suggested by the title, this dissertation is based on the term "object" as a bridge between the experience of phobia and the use of the mask. The choice of the phobia as a theme, is part of our project with adolescents, which highlighted the massive presence of this experience. This evidence did not fully satisfy the study for the following reasons. The knowledge about the presence of such phenomenon, can give an account of the presence of phobic experience and can also provide an opportunity to place the subject within a clinical reference group. It allows us to observe the subject’s proximity or distance from the beloved "normativity". In our case, our purpose is represented by the comprehension of the attribution of meaning. The clinical observation allows us to evoke the psychological and phenomenological dynamics and also the modalities of the subject to reach knowledge, without which the objects would remain threatening in themselves and without a certain specification.

Optimal Construction of Hierarchical Overlap Graphs

description: Genome assembly is a fundamental problem in Bioinformatics, where for a given set of overlapping substrings of a genome, the aim is to reconstruct the source genome. The classical approaches to solving this problem use assembly graphs, such as de Bruijn graphs or overlap graphs, which maintain partial information about such overlaps. For genome assembly algorithms, these graphs present a trade-off between overlap information stored and scalability. Thus, Hierarchical Overlap Graph (HOG) was proposed to overcome the limitations of both these approaches. For a given set $P$ of $n$ strings, the first algorithm to compute HOG was given by Cazaux and Rivals [IPL20] requiring $O(||P||+n^2)$ time using superlinear space, where $||P||$ is the cumulative sum of the lengths of strings in $P$. This was improved by Park et al. [SPIRE20] to $O(||P||\log n)$ time and $O(||P||)$ space using segment trees, and further to $O(||P||\frac{\log n}{\log \log n})$ for the word RAM model. Both these results described an open problem to compute HOG in optimal $O(||P||)$ time and space. In this paper, we achieve the desired optimal bounds by presenting a simple algorithm that does not use any complex data structures. At its core, our solution improves the classical result [IPL92] for a special case of the All Pairs Suffix Prefix (APSP) problem from $O(||P||+n^2)$ time to optimal $O(||P||)$ time, which may be of independent interest.
