description: Material susceptibilities govern interactions between electromagnetic waves and matter and are of a crucial importance for basic understanding of natural phenomena and for tailoring practical applications. Here we present a new calibration-free method for relative complex permittivity retrieval, which allows using accessible and cheap apparatus and simplifies the measurement process. The method combines advantages of resonant and non-resonant techniques, allowing to extract parameters of liquids and solids in a broad frequency range, where material's loss tangent is less than 0.5. The essence of the method is based on exciting magnetic dipole resonance in a spherical sample with variable dimensions. Size-dependent resonant frequencies and quality factors of magnetic dipolar modes are mapped on real and imaginary parts of permittivity by employing Mie theory. Samples are comprised of liquid solutions, enclosed in stretchable covers, which allows changing the dimensions continuously. This approach allows tuning magnetic dipolar resonance over a wide frequency range, effectively making resonance retrieval method broadband. The technique can be extended to powder and solid materials, depending on their physical parameters, such as granularity and processability.

description: We study the beam-normal single-spin asymmetry (BNSSA) in high-energy elastic electron scattering from several spin-0 nuclei. Existing theoretical approaches work in the plane-wave formalism and predict the BNSSA to scale as $\sim A/Z$ with the atomic number $Z$ and nuclear mass number $A$. While this prediction holds for light and intermediate nuclei, a striking disagreement in both the sign and the magnitude of BNSSA was observed by the PREX collaboration for $^{208}$Pb, coined the "PREX puzzle". To shed light on this disagreement, we go beyond the plane-wave approach which neglects Coulomb distortions known to be significant for heavy nuclei. We explicitly investigate the dependence of BNSSA on $A$ and $Z$ by i) including inelastic intermediate states' contributions into the Coulomb problem in the form of an optical potential, ii) by accounting for the experimental information on the $A$-dependence of the Compton slope parameter, and iii) giving a thorough account of the uncertainties of the calculation. Despite of these improvements, the PREX puzzle remains unexplained. We discuss further strategies to resolve this riddle.

description: Using a density-functional-theory-based approach, we explore the symmetrization and proton dynamics in ice-VII, for which recent high-pressure NMR experiments indicate significant proton dynamics in the pressure-range of $20-95$ GPa. We directly sample the potential seen by the proton and find a continuous transition from double- to single-well character over the pressure range of 2 to 130 GPa accompanied by proton dynamics in agreement with the NMR experiments.

description: Exoplanet searches through space-based photometric time series have shown to be very efficient in recent years. However, follow-up efforts on the detected planet candidates have been demonstrated to be critical to uncover the true nature of the transiting objects. In this paper we show a detailed analysis of one of those false positives hidden as planetary signals. In this case, the candidate KOI-3886.01 showed clear evidence of a planetary nature from various techniques. Indeed, the properties of the fake planet set it among the most interesting and promising for the study of planetary evolution as the star leaves the main sequence. To unveil the true nature of this system, we present a complete set of observational techniques including high-spatial resolution imaging, high-precision photometric time series (showing eclipses, phase curve variations and asteroseismology signals), high-resolution spectroscopy and derived radial velocities, to unveil the true nature of this planet candidate. We find that KOI-3886.01 is an interesting false positive case: a hierarchical triple system composed by a $\sim$K2III giant star (KOI-3886A) accompanied by a close-in eclipsing binary formed by a subgiant $\sim$G4IV star (KOI-3886B) and a brown dwarf (KOI-3886C). In particular, KOI-3886C is one of the most irradiated brown dwarfs known to date, showing the largest radius in this substellar regime. It is also the first eclipsing brown dwarf known around an evolved star. In this paper we highlight the relevance of complete sets of follow-up observations to extrasolar planets detected by the transit technique using large-pixel photometers such as Kepler and TESS, and in the future, PLATO. In particular, multi-color high-spatial resolution imaging was the first hint toward ruling out the planet scenario in this system.

description: Despite significant progress in theoretical and laboratory quantum control, engineering quantum systems remains principally challenging due to manifestation of noise and uncertainties associated with the field and Hamiltonian parameters. In this paper, we extend and generalize the asymptotic quantum control robustness analysis method -- which provides more accurate estimates of quantum control objective moments than standard leading order techniques -- to diverse quantum observables, gates and moments thereof, and also introduce the Pontryagin Maximum Principle for quantum robust control. In addition, we present a Pareto optimization framework for achieving robust control via evolutionary open loop (model-based) and closed loop (model-free) approaches with the mechanisms of robustness and convergence described using asymptotic quantum control robustness analysis. In the open loop approach, a multiobjective genetic algorithm is used to obtain Pareto solutions in terms of the expectation and variance of the transition probability under Hamiltonian parameter uncertainty. The set of numerically determined solutions can then be used as a starting population for model-free learning control in a feedback loop. The closed loop approach utilizes real-coded genetic algorithm with adaptive exploration and exploitation operators in order to preserve solution diversity and dynamically optimize the transition probability in the presence of field noise. Together, these methods provide a foundation for high fidelity adaptive feedback control of quantum systems wherein open loop control predictions are iteratively improved based on data from closed loop experiments.

description: A technique used to accelerate an adaptive optics simulation platform using reconfigurable logic is described. The performance of parts of this simulation have been improved by up to 600 times (reducing computation times by this factor) by implementing algorithms within hardware and enables adaptive optics simulations to be carried out in a reasonable timescale. This demonstrates that it is possible to use reconfigurable logic to accelerate computational codes by very large factors when compared with conventional software approaches, and this has relevance for many computationally intensive applications. The use of reconfigurable logic for high performance computing is currently in its infancy and has never before been applied to this field.

description: Preparing teachers for early language education is crucial for the quality of ECEC education. In the recent decades, the role of teachers and consequently, the education of teachers, has been a major, increasing concern both politically and in research. Worldwide, there are huge variations in how to prepare teachers for the complexity of language education for children in early childhood education contexts, in relation to language, literacy and multilingualism. The paper presents previous research on ECEC teacher education research, in particular studies related to development of the knowledge base for preservice and in-service teachers, and discusses some common challenges for ECEC teacher education. The traditional theoretical underpinnings for language knowledge base in ECEC teacher education concerns the subject knowledge that language teachers need for their teaching practices. This tradition is recently challenged by more critical and sociocultural perspectives, suggesting that language teacher education should be based more on language as a social practice and involve more critical approaches on how language, power and identity are relevant for language teaching. The empirical studies related to teachers’ language knowledge base have mainly revolved around in-service teachers’ practical knowledge and beliefs about language development, literacy and second language/multilingual teaching, documenting the importance of teachers’ experiences. The amount of studies that are oriented towards professional development is increasing. There is consensus that in-service teacher education has an impact on classroom practices and consequently on children’s language development, and that the effort must be extensive to make a difference. The requirements for the teachers’ knowledge base appear vague and unarticulated. The younger the language learners, the lesser the requirements of this knowledge base. Grounded in discussions in the teacher education field, this presentation foregrounds more research at the educational level and scope, as well as the scientific and theoretical knowledge base of language in ECEC teacher education.

description: Context. Studying gas chemistry in protoplanetary disks is key to understanding the process of planet formation. Sulfur chemistry in particular is poorly understood in interstellar environments, and the location of the main reservoirs remains unknown. Protoplanetary disks in Taurus are ideal targets for studying the evolution of the composition of planet forming systems. Aims. We aim to elucidate the chemical origin of sulfur-bearing molecular emission in protoplanetary disks, with a special focus on H$_2$S emission, and to identify candidate species that could become the main molecular sulfur reservoirs in protoplanetary systems. Methods. We used IRAM 30m observations of nine gas-rich young stellar objects (YSOs) in Taurus to perform a survey of sulfur-bearing and oxygen-bearing molecular species. In this paper we present our results for the CS 3-2 ($ν_0$ = 146.969 GHz), H$_2$CO 2$_{11}$-1$_{10}$ ($ν_0$ = 150.498 GHz), and H$_2$S 1$_{10}$-1$_{01}$ ($ν_0$ = 168,763 GHz) emission lines. Results. We detected H$_2$S emission in four sources out of the nine observed, significantly increasing the number of detections toward YSOs. We also detected H$_2$CO and CS in six out of the nine. We identify a tentative correlation between H$_2$S 1$_{10}$-1$_{01}$ and H$_2$CO 2$_{11}$-1$_{10}$ as well as a tentative correlation between H$_2$S 1$_{10}$-1$_{01}$ and H$_2$O 8$_{18}$-7$_{07}$. By assuming local thermodynamical equilibrium, we computed column densities for the sources in the sample, with N(o-H$_2$S) values ranging between $2.6\times10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $1.5\times10^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$.

description: Challenging space missions include those at very low altitudes, where the atmosphere is source of aerodynamic drag on the spacecraft. To extend the lifetime of such missions, an efficient propulsion system is required. One solution is Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP) that collects atmospheric particles to be used as propellant for an electric thruster. The system would minimize the requirement of limited propellant availability and can also be applied to any planetary body with atmosphere, enabling new missions at low altitude ranges for longer times. IRS is developing, within the H2020 DISCOVERER project, an intake and a thruster for an ABEP system. The article describes the design and simulation of the intake, optimized to feed the radio frequency (RF) Helicon-based plasma thruster developed at IRS. The article deals in particular with the design of intakes based on diffuse and specular reflecting materials, which are analysed by the PICLas DSMC-PIC tool. Orbital altitudes $h=150-250$ km and the respective species based on the NRLMSISE-00 model (O, $N_2$, $O_2$, He, Ar, H, N) are investigated for several concepts based on fully diffuse and specular scattering, including hybrid designs. The major focus has been on the intake efficiency defined as $η_c=\dot{N}_{out}/\dot{N}_{in}$, with $\dot{N}_{in}$ the incoming particle flux, and $\dot{N}_{out}$ the one collected by the intake. Finally, two concepts are selected and presented providing the best expected performance for the operation with the selected thruster. The first one is based on fully diffuse accommodation yielding to $η_c<0.46$ and the second one based un fully specular accommodation yielding to $η_c<0.94$. Finally, also the influence of misalignment with the flow is analysed, highlighting a strong dependence of $η_c$ in the diffuse-based intake while, ...

Στο πρώτο μέρος της εργασίας παρουσιάζεται ο κλάδος των υπεραγορών στην Ελλάδα και γίνεται ιδιαίτερη μνεία στη Μαρινόπουλος και στον όμιλο Σκλαβενίτη. Στη συνέχεια γίνεται επεξήγηση του πτωχευτικού κώδικα και ιδιαίτερα των άρθρων 99 και 106β. Μετέπειτα αναλύονται οι κοινωνικές οικονομικές και πολιτικές προεκτάσεις τη συμφωνίας εξυγίανσης καθώς και ρόλο που διαδραμάτισε η τότε κυβέρνηση. Γίνεται δε, ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στις οικονομικές υποχρεώσεις προς τους προμηθευτές και τις προεκτάσεις που θα μπορούσε να πάρει σε εθνικό επίπεδο η μη έκβαση συμφωνίας, δηλαδή η περίπτωση χρεοκοπίας. Τέλος για την χρηματοοικονομική ανάλυση του Σκλαβενίτη χρησιμοποιήθηκε η ανάλυση μέσω αριθμοδεικτών και η οριζόντια μέθοδος ανάλυσης με έτος βάσης το 2018. Επίσης έγινε προσπάθεια ανάλυσης με χρήση του μοντέλου Altman Z-score για την αξιολόγηση του κινδύνου πτώχευσης. Τα ευρήματα της εργασίας έδειξαν πως με την απορρόφηση του Μαρινόπουλου, ο Σκλαβενίτης κατάφερε να αυξήσει το μερίδιο του στην αγορά, κυρίως στην επαρχία και δη στην βόρεια Ελλάδα, όπου αποτελεί και πυλώνα της στρατηγικής του. Παρά το αρχικό πόσο που ξοδεύτηκε σε «υπεράξια» ύψους μισού δις. ευρώ που αποτελούσε τη διαφορά μεταξύ των χρεών και του ενεργητικού, κατάφερε σε διάστημα μικρότερο των πέντε ετών να έχει θετικά οικονομικά αποτελέσματα. Σημαντικό ρόλο στην εξαγορά διαδραμάτισαν και οι εγγυήσεις που έλαβε από το τραπεζικά ιδρύματα και το κράτος που καταλήξαν σε έκδοση δάνειων με ιδιαίτερα ευνοϊκούς όρους, διαγραφή των προστίμων και διαγραφή των μέρους των οφειλών προς τους προμηθευτές. Ο Σκλαβενίτης του 2022 κατέχει το μεγαλύτερο μερίδιο της αγοράς με 34,4% με κύκλο εργασιών 4,47 δις. ευρώ και κέρδη προ φόρων που ξεπερνούν τα 78 εκατ. ευρώ.

Development of a hybrid bridge evaluation system
Creators: name: Felber, Andreas Johann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: There is an increasing need to verify analytical dynamic models used for the seismic evaluation of existing bridges. During a retrofit evaluation, analytical models are created to predict the bridge response and damage levels due to seismic loading. These models should be verified so damage levels can be determined more confidently. Currently experimental studies are only occasionally performed on existing structures to verify analytical models because existing testing methods are too costly, require traffic shutdowns, and do not deliver results quickly enough for routine use. To overcome these limitations, the hybrid bridge evaluation system (HBES) was developed using ambient vibration techniques to inexpensively and quickly determine the dynamic characteristics of a large variety of structures. The HBES combines state of the art vibration measurement hardware with a series of custom developed programs to expedite ambient vibration studies. In particular, two new functions were developed and implemented as part of the HBES software to interpret the data quickly. These functions made it possible to analyse the data obtained from ambient vibration measurements in the field. This is a considerable advancement over traditional systems which require several weeks of data analysis after the field work is completed. Since partial experimental results can be obtained with the HBES while some of the tests are still in progress, the quality of the collected information can be assessed before leaving the site. After returning from the site, the experimental results can be used to verify and tune analytical models. A number of tests were conducted as part of this thesis which demonstrate the HBES’ performance. The study of the Shipshaw Bridge data, which was analyzed in one day, demonstrated the unique speed of the system. The study of the Squamish Wharf demonstrated the system’s capability to determine the dynamic characteristics of structures with very small ambient vibrations levels (+1- 0.02 mg). The complete study of the Colquitz River Bridge was used to evaluate the HBES’ components and their integration. This study confirmed the suitability of the hardware and demonstrated that the integrated programs were capable of expeditiously acquiring, analyzing, and interpreting large amounts of data. The experimentally obtained characteristics of the structure were used to refine the structure’s analytical models. The HBES system can now be used as an effective tool in the seismic evaluation of bridges.

description: We present the results from the analysis of optical spectra of 31 Halpha-selected regions in the extended UV (XUV) disks of M83 (NGC5236) and NGC4625 recently discovered by GALEX. The spectra were obtained using IMACS at Las Campanas Observatory 6.5m Magellan I telescope and COSMIC at the Palomar 200-inch telescope, respectively for M83 and NGC4625. The line ratios measured indicate nebular oxygen abundances (derived from the R23 parameter) of the order of Zsun/5-Zsun/10. For most emission-line regions analyzed the line fluxes and ratios measured are best reproduced by models of photoionization by single stars with masses in the range 20-40 Msun and oxygen abundances comparable to those derived from the R23 parameter. We find indications for a relatively high N/O abundance ratio in the XUV disk of M83. Although the metallicities derived imply that these are not the first stars formed in the XUV disks, such a level of enrichment could be reached in young spiral disks only 1 Gyr after these first stars would have formed. The amount of gas in the XUV disks allow maintaining the current level of star formation for at least a few Gyr.

description: Six semi-detached Algol-type binaries lacking a period analysis were chosen to test for a presence of a third body. The O-C diagrams of these binaries were analyzed with the least-squares method by using all available times of minima. Also fourteen new minima, obtained from our observations, were included in the present research. The light-time effect was adopted as a main factor for the detailed description of the long-term period changes. Third bodies were found with orbital periods from 46 up to 84 years, and eccentricities from 0.0 to 0.78 for the selected binaries. The mass functions and the minimal masses of such bodies were also calculated.

description: This study, entitled “Recent case law perspectives on the criminal liability of the surgeon and the anaesthesiologist spurring from medical errors committed by negligence”, initially examines the responsibility of the surgeon and the anaesthesiologist from a medical point view. Subsequently, surgical interventions and the administering of anaesthesia are addressed from a legal standpoint. The main part of the study deals with the surgeon’s and anaesthesiologist’s criminal liability for offences against life and health committed by negligence. The following legal issues are analysed in depth: external negligence, the distinction between action and omission, the legal obligation arising under article 15 of the Penal Code, the principle of legal causation and finally the issue of internal negligence. The final section approaches the criminal liability arising by negligence in relation to the allocation of responsibilities according to functions of competence, and, also, deals with the principle of trust and the surgical safety checklist of WHO.

The targum (1950:Jan. 6 - 1950:Jan. 31)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1950

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Μέσα στη δίνη των θεαματικών ιστορικών εξελίξεων του πέμπτου μ.Χ. αιώνα και στην απαρχή μιας εποχής έντονου θεολογικού αναβρασμού, χαρισματικές προσωπικότητες σε Ανατολή και Δύση διαδραματίζουν πρωταγωνιστικό ρόλο στη διαμόρφωση του Χριστολογικού δόγματος. Ο άγιος Ιωάννης Κασσιανός και ο αιρεσιάρχης Νεστόριος Κωνσταντινουπόλεως θα βρεθούν αντιμέτωποι στην προσπάθεια διερεύνησης και ερμηνείας της θεολογικής αλήθειας. Με κοινά όπλα, θα προσπαθήσουν να διατηρήσουν την εύθραυστη ισορροπία στο πρόβλημα της αντίληψης της ενανθρώπησης του Κυρίου. Ο άγιος με το έργο του De Incarnatione Domini contra Nestorium, αφενός παρουσιάζει και υπερασπίζεται την ορθόδοξη πίστη για το Χριστό και αφετέρου σκιαγραφεί τις θεολογικές και πνευματικές εκτροπές του μεγάλου αιρετικού.
description: In the midst of spectacular historical developments of the fifth AD century and the beginning of an era of intense theological turmoil, charismatic figures in the East and West play a leading role in shaping the Christological dogma. St. John Cassian and the heresiarch Nestorius of Constantinople will be faced in the effort of investigation and interpretation of theological truth. With common weapons, they will try to maintain the delicate balance about the problem of understanding the incarnation of the Lord. The Saint with his work De Incarnatione Domini contra Nestorium, both presents and defends the orthodox faith in Christ and also outlines the theological and spiritual aberrations of the great heretic.

description: Flood reduction infrastructure is a vital aspect of many urban and peri-urban areas. To date, the majority of flood reduction projects use traditional “grey” materials and techniques. However, the use of blue-green infrastructures (BGI) is becoming more popular. This paper explores residents’ preferences for BGI or grey infrastructure projects to reduce flood risk. A discrete choice experiment using a split sample methodology was employed to determine if residents of the Carlingford Lough catchment in Ireland prefer either type of infrastructure to reduce flood risk. A random parameter logit was applied to the data. The results reveal that for the average person, they have a preference for flood risk reduction resulting in a flooding event once every 25 years rather than once every five years. The average respondent also holds a preference for BGI based solutions as opposed to a grey infrastructure solution. However, respondent living in a flood-prone area show no greater preference for a BGI solution.
description: The authors acknowledge research funding received from the EU Interreg Atlantic Area Programme 2014–2020 (EAPA_261/2016 ALICE). We are also grateful to Diane Burgess, Graham Finney and Rachel McCann for their work with catchment stakeholders which helped to inform the early stages of the survey’s development as well as for their comments on early drafts of the survey.

description: Κατά τη διάρκεια των τελευταίων δεκαετιών, ο κλάδος την πολιτιστικής διαχείρισης κερδίζει σταθερά στις επιστημονικές βιβλιογραφικές αναφορές. Η ορολογία του πολιτιστικού μάρκετινγκ έχει κάνει από το 1970 την εμφάνισή της και έκτοτε το μάρκετινγκ αποτελεί αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι των πολιτιστικών οργανισμών. Η παρούσα εργασία έχει ως σκοπό να διαπιστώσει κατά πόσον το παράδειγμα της πολιτιστικής διαχείρισης του Μεγάρου Μουσικής Θεσσαλονίκης συγκλίνει ή αποκλίνει από τα πρότυπα που παρουσιάζει η διεθνής βιβλιογραφία. Έτσι, στο πρώτο μέρος της εργασίας παρουσιάζεται βιβλιογραφική επισκόπηση, που αφορά την διοίκηση και την προώθηση των πολιτιστικών οργανισμών, ενώ στο δεύτερο μέρος παρουσιάζεται μία μελέτη περίπτωσης και σύγκριση της βιβλιογραφίας, με το παράδειγμα του Μεγάρου Θεσσαλονίκης. Τα δεδομένα για την μελέτη περίπτωσης συλλέχθηκαν από συνέντευξη με στέλεχος του Οργανισμού, από τον επίσημο ιστότοπο του Οργανισμού, αλλά και από επισκέψεις στις εγκαταστάσεις του. Τα αποτελέσματα της εργασίας κατέδειξαν πως η πολιτιστική διαχείριση του ΟΜΜΘ συμβαδίζει σε πολύ μεγάλο ποσοστό με τα πρότυπα που παρουσιάζει η διεθνής βιβλιογραφία.
description: During the last decades the discipline of cultural management is steady gaining scientific bibliographical references. The terminology of cultural management was born in the 70s and since then it constitutes an integral part of cultural organizations. The present research aims to identify whether the paradigm of Thessaloniki Concert Hall resembles or diverges from other cultural organizations. Thus, at the first part of this study, there is a presentation of literature review relevant to the management and the marketing of cultural organizations while at the second part there is a case study and the comparison of the literature review to the paradigm of Thessaloniki Concert Hall. The data was gathered out of interview provided by maker of the organization, out of the official site of the organization, during researcher‘s visit at facilities of the organization. The research result showed that the cultural management of Thessaloniki Concert Hall resembles in a large percentage with the standards introduced by the international literature review.

description: The axion solution of the strong CP problem provides a number of possible windows to physics beyond the standard model, notably in the form of searches for solar axions and for galactic axion dark matter, but in a broader context also inspires searches for axion-like particles in pure laboratory experiments. We briefly review the motivation for axions, astrophysical limits, their possible cosmological role, and current searches for axions and axion-like particles.

description: We construct supersymmetric D-brane probe solutions in the background of the 2-charge D1-D5 system on M, where M is either K3 or T^4. We focus on `near-horizon bound states' that preserve supersymmetries of the near-horizon AdS_3 x S^3 x M geometry and are static with respect to the global time coordinate. We find a variety of half-BPS solutions that span an AdS_2 subspace in AdS_3, carry worldvolume flux and can wrap an S^2 within S^3 and/or supersymmetric cycles in M.
