description: Το γλωσσολογικό ... διήγημα του Γρηγόρη Ξενόπουλου: ‘ΤΡΕΙΣ ΛΕΞΕΙΣ – ΤΡΕΙΣ ΤΑΞΕΙΣ’, φανερώνει το πρωτοποριακό πνεύμα ενός από τους μεγάλoυς δημιoυργούς του νεώτερου αφηγηματικού λόγου. Σε μια εποχή που η επιστήμη της κοινωνιογλωσσολογίας έκανε τα πρώτα της διστακτικά βήματα, ο Γρηγόρης Ξενόπουλος μέσα από την αφηγηματική τέχνη αφήνει να διαφανεί η συστηματική σχέση ανάμεσα στη σκέψη και το λόγο, ανάμεσα στο λόγο και τις κοινωνικές παραμέτρους. Η αυστηρά ιεραρχημένη ζακυνθινή κοινωνία προσφέρει το πλαίσιο για μια γλωσσική έκφραση, φορέα οικονομικών και κοινωνικών αξιών. Τα συνώνυμα: Μάνα, Μητέρα, Μαμά αποκτούν το καθένα διαφορετική κοινωνική διάσταση καθώς λειτουργούν στα καθορισμένα όρια ενός συγκεκριμένου κοινωνικού περιβάλλοντος. Άμεσα συνδεδεμένα με τον κόσμο που έφευγε και έναν κόσμο που ερχόταν, αυτά τα γλωσσικά υλικά προοιώνιζαν τον κοινωνικό μετασχηματισμό.

description: A novel trajectory design methodology is proposed in the current work to minimize the state uncertainty in the crucial mission of spacecraft rendezvous. The trajectory is shaped under constraints utilizing a multiple-impulse approach. State uncertainty is characterized in terms of covariance, and the impulse time as the only affective parameter in uncertainty propagation is selected to minimize the trace of the covariance matrix. Further, the impulse location is also adopted as the other design parameter to satisfy various translational constraints of the space mission. Efficiency and viability of the proposed idea have been investigated through some scenarios that include constraints on final time, control effort, and maximum thruster limit addition to considering safe corridors. The obtained results show that proper selection of the impulse time and impulse position fulfils a successful feasible rendezvous mission with minimum uncertainty.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Antimicrobial defence mechanisms have been demonstrated in a variety of invertebrates, including the European cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis L.). Three immune enzymes were investigated in this study—lysozyme, antiprotease, and phenoloxidase—which play an important role in the cellular and humoral defence of invertebrates. The aim of this work was to adapt the enzyme assays to juveniles and then study the impact of four different spawning sites from the English Channel coasts on the hatchling survival and their immune system development in the early life stages. In 2010, different adult cuttlefish organs were collected to localize the immune activities. In parallel, experiments with juveniles from Seine Bay (SB‐FR), Agon Coutainville (AC‐FR), Tor Bay (TB‐UK), and Selsey (S‐UK) were used to investigate the immune assays. Results demonstrated that lysozyme activity was localized in adult organs, playing an important role in immunity, such as the white body and blood circulation system, and so this enzyme could be adapted for juveniles. Phenoloxidase activities were found in all organs with a maximal activity in the immune organs. Antiprotease activities were mainly localized in the digestive system organs so this enzyme was then excluded from the immune system evolution assays on juveniles. Lysozyme was used to investigate the evolution of the juvenile immune system. Preliminary observations indicated that hatching and hatchling survival rates varied between the four studied sites. Hatching and survival rates were, respectively, 60.4% and 90.6% for SB, 68.2% and 92.6% for AC, 66.7% and 98% for TB, and 94.4% and 86.6% for S. The lysozyme assays also revealed differences in eggs and juveniles revealing a site impact on egg incubation that affected thereafter juveniles in the first development stages.

Με τον όρο φτώχεια εννοούμε τόσο τον οικονομικό όσο και τον κοινωνικό και πολιτισμικό αποκλεισμό σε μίκρο- και μάκρο-επίπεδο. Η γραφή και η ανάγνωση δε λειτουργούν ως μέσο επικοινωνίας των ΡΟΜ γιατί η γλώσσα τους, romanes, δε διαθέτει γραπτή έκφραση. Η σχολική επιτυχία για τους ΡΟΜ δε συνδυάζεται με την κοινωνική ούτε θεωρείται ως προϋπόθεση για την οικονομική επιτυχία. Αυτός είναι ίσως και ένας από τους λόγους που το σχολείο δεν είναι μέσα στη λογική των ΡΟΜ. Το ασυμβίβαστο που υφίσταται μεταξύ της ζωής στην οικογένεια και την τσιγγάνικη κοινότητα και της ζωής στη σχολική κοινότητα, συντελεί ώστε η παρακολούθηση των μαθημάτων να μη θεωρείται αναγκαία.

description: We report new measurements of the electrical conductivity sigma of the canonical three-dimensional metal-insulator system Si:P under uniaxial stress S. The zero-temperature extrapolation of sigma(S,T -> 0) ~§- S_cmu shows an unprecidentedly sharp onset of finite conductivity at S_c with an exponent mu = 1. The value of mu differs significantly from that of earlier stress-tuning results. Our data show dynamical sigma(S,T) scaling on both metallic and insulating sides, viz. sigma(S,T) = sigma_c(T) F(§- S_cT^y) where sigma_c(T) is the conductivity at the critical stress S_c. We find y = 1/znu = 0.34 where nu is the correlation-length exponent and z the dynamic critical exponent.

description: The quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE), characterized by dissipationless quantized edge transport, relies crucially on a non-trivial topology of the electronic bulk bandstructure and a robust ferromagnetic order that breaks time-reversal symmetry. Magnetically-doped topological insulators (TIs) satisfy both these criteria, and are the most promising quantum materials for realizing the QAHE. Because the spin of the surface electrons aligns along the direction of magnetic-impurity exchange field, only magnetic TIs with an out-of-plane magnetization are thought to open a gap at the Dirac point (DP) of the surface states, resulting in the QAHE. Using a continuum model supported by atomistic tight-binding and first-principles calculations of transition-metal doped Bi$_2$Se$_3$, we show that a surface-impurity potential generates an additional effective magnetic field which spin-polarizes the surface electrons along the direction perpendicular to the surface. The predicted gap-opening mechanism results from the interplay of this additional field and the in-plane magnetization that shifts the position of the DP away from the $Γ$ point. This effect is similar to the one originating from the hexagonal warping correction of the bandstructure but is one order of magnitude stronger. Our calculations show that in a doped TI with in-plane magnetization the impurity-potential-induced gap at the DP is comparable to the one opened by an out-of-plane magnetization.

description: Two new simple fluoroionophores viz. L1 and L2 were synthesized and characterized. These two fluoroionophores were shown to be sensitive and selective for Cs+ among the 12 metal ions in organic HEPES buffer medium by absorption and fluorescence. An attractive glowing green and blue color emission were observed in the presence of Cs+ for L1 and L2.The fluoroionophores were found to be as an effective fluorescence chemosensors for Cs+ ions with the detection limit of 0.03 ppm and 0.49 ppm, respectively. In order to evaluate the chemosensor activity in organo-aqueous medium, organic thin films (OTFs) and TLC kits of fluoroionophores viz. L1 and L2 were formed using physical coating method.

description: The high prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in China suggests there would be a substantial positive health impact of widespread vaccination against HPV. We adapted a previously described dynamic transmission model of the natural history of HPV infection and related diseases to the Chinese setting to estimate the public health impact in China of 2-valent (with and without cross-protection), 4-valent, and 9-valent HPV vaccination strategies. The model predicted the incidence and mortality associated with HPV-related diseases, including cervical and noncervical cancers, genital warts, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), based on the various vaccination coverage rate (VCR) scenarios, over a 100-year time horizon. The public health impact of the 4 vaccination strategies was estimated in terms of cases and deaths averted compared to a scenario with no vaccination. Under the assumption of various primary and catch-up VCR scenarios, all 4 vaccination strategies reduced the incidence of cervical cancer in females and noncervical cancers in both sexes, and the 4-valent and 9-valent vaccines reduced the incidence of genital warts and RRP in both sexes. The 9-valent vaccination strategy was superior on all outcomes. The number of cervical cancer cases averted over 100 years ranged from ~ 1 million to ~ 5 million while the number of cervical cancer deaths averted was ~ 345,000 to ~ 1.9 million cases, depending on the VCR scenario. The VCR for primary vaccination was the major driver of cases averted.

description: Infinite projected entangled pair states (iPEPS), the tensor network ansatz for two-dimensional systems in the thermodynamic limit, already provide excellent results on ground-state quantities using either imaginary-time evolution or variational optimisation. Here, we show (i) the feasibility of real-time evolution in iPEPS to simulate the dynamics of an infinite system after a global quench and (ii) the application of disorder-averaging to obtain translationally invariant systems in the presence of disorder. To illustrate the approach, we study the short-time dynamics of the square lattice Heisenberg model in the presence of a bi-valued disorder field.

description: In multi-party systems, politicians, voters, and political pundits often speculate about potential coalition governments based on current poll results. Their interest particularly centers around the question whether a specific coalition has enough public support to form a parliamentary majority. In this research note, we present a Bayesian Dynamic Multinomial-Dirichlet model to estimate the probability that a coalition will find enough public support to form a parliamentary majority. An application to German federal elections from 1994–2017 and comparisons with alternative methods underscore the value of this approach.

description: The electrostatic cumulation of current density in relativistic vacuum diodes with ring-type cathodes is described theoretically and confirmed experimentally. The distinctive feature of the suggested cumulation mechanism is a very low energy spread of electrons. As a result of electrostatic cumulation, a thin relativistic electron beam with a current density of 1 kA/mm$^2$ can be formed. This quantity exceeds typical current density values in high-current Cherenkov sources by an order of magnitude. Such a beam can be used as an active medium in high-power terahertz sources.

description: The fine tuning in models of low energy gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking required to obtain the correct $Z$ mass is quantified. To alleviate the fine tuning problem, a model with split $(5+\bar{5})$ messenger fields is presented. This model has additional triplets in the low energy theory which get a mass of $O(500)$ GeV from a coupling to a singlet. The improvement in fine tuning is quantified and the spectrum in this model is discussed. The same model with the above singlet coupled to the Higgs doublets to generate the $μ$ term is also discussed. A Grand Unified version of the model is constructed and a known doublet-triplet splitting mechanism is used to split the messenger $(5+\bar{5})$'s. A complete model is presented and some phenomenological constraints are discussed.

description: This article explores three usual estimators, noted as $v_{12}$ of the pairwise velocity, $ψ_1$ and $ψ_2$ of the observed two-point galaxy peculiar velocity correlation functions. These estimators are tested on mock samples of {\it Cosmicflows-3} dataset \citep{Tully:2016aa} , derived from a numerical cosmological simulation, and also on a number of constrained realizations of this dataset. Observational measurements errors and cosmic variance are taken into consideration in the study. The result is a local measurement of $f σ_8 = 0.43 \left( \pm 0.03 \right)_\mathrm{obs} \left( \pm 0.11 \right)_\mathrm{cosmic}$ out to $z=0.05$, in support of a $Λ$CDM cosmology.

description: Streptococcus pneumoniae causes a considerable disease burden among children in China. Many isolates exhibit antimicrobial resistance but are often serotypes covered by the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13). Because the approved infant immunization schedule in China allows PCV13 vaccination only for those 6 weeks to 15 months of age, this phase 3 study was conducted to evaluate PCV13 immunogenicity and safety in unvaccinated older infants and children. Eligible participants were stratified by age into four cohorts: Cohort 1 (n = 125), 6 weeks−2 months; Cohort 2 (n = 354), 7−<12 months; Cohort 3 (n = 250), 1 −<2 years; Cohort 4 (n = 207), 2−<6 years. Cohort 1 received PCV13 at ages 2, 4, and 6 months; older cohorts were randomized 2:1 to PCV13 or Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine using age-appropriate schedules. Within-group immune responses were assessed by immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations and opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) titers. Safety evaluations included solicited reactogenicity events and adverse events (AEs). IgG geometric mean concentrations and OPA geometric mean titers for all 13 PCV13 serotypes increased for all participants vaccinated with PCV13, but not those vaccinated with Hib. Immune responses in Cohorts 2–4 were generally comparable with those in Cohort 1 (the infant series) for most serotypes. PCV13 was well tolerated across cohorts, with reported AEs consistent with expectations in these age groups; no new safety signals were identified. These results suggest that PCV13 administered as a catch-up regimen to infants and children 7 months−<6 years of age in China will effectively reduce vaccine-type pneumococcal disease in this population.

description: The most important determinant of HPV vaccination uptake is healthcare provider recommendation, yet not all eligible patients receive HPV vaccination recommendations. We used data from the 2020 National Immunization Survey-Teen to determine individual, systemic, and state factors associated with provider recommendation of HPV vaccination. A total of 18,534 teens were included, with 81.4% receiving provider recommendations for HPV vaccination. HPV vaccination recommendation was higher among females compared to males (AOR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.27–1.93), teens who received a well-child exam at 11 or 12 years compared to those who did not (AOR: 2.10; 95% CI: 1.61–2.74), and teens whose mothers had college, some college or at least a high school education compared to those with less than high school education. In addition to individual factors, provider recommendation of HPV vaccination was higher in hospitals (AOR: 1.51; 95% CI: 1.00–2.29) and STD/school/teen clinics (AOR: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.05–5.78) compared to public facilities. However, the odds of provider recommendation were lower when none of the teen’s providers ordered vaccines from the state compared to when all teen providers ordered vaccines from the state (AOR: 0.69; 95% CI: 0.52–0.93). Moreover, the state’s mean prevalence of provider recommendations of HPV vaccination was 7.2% lower (Coefficient: −0.072; 95% CI: −0.107 – −0.036) in states with high religious ideology compared to those with low religious ideology. Interventions to increase provider recommendation of HPV vaccination should take a multiprong and comprehensive approach that addresses religious and systemic barriers to HPV vaccination recommendation.

Below this frequency a narrow Drude-like response is observed which accounts for the metallic behavior. Since de Haas-von Alphen oscillations at low temperatures confirm band structure calculations of bands crossing the Fermi energy, we assign the observed behavior to a two-dimensional metallic state in the proximity of a correlation induced metal-insulator transition.

description: At the beginning of the twentieth century, a British mapping team led by Captain S. F. Newcombe surveyed and mapped the Negev region, Sinai, and western Jordan. The map was mainly produced for military use. Consequently, it included a network of branched routes, water supplies and facilities, and topographic contours. This study used this map to examine the development of routes in the Negev region between the beginning of and until the end of the twentieth century. First, the individual sheets comprising the study area were pieced together and the accuracy of the map was evaluated. The accuracy found on the Newcombe map was 0.76 mm on the map scale, equivalent to 100.3 m. Route development during the twentieth century was then evaluated by comparing the routes digitized from the Newcombe map to digitized routes on a late twentieth-century map. The results do not reveal tremendous changes in path, shape, or number of routes. Instead, they merely indicate the natural development in their quality. This Historical GIS-based approach provided a useful technique for analyzing and comparing the line segments extracted from historical and modern maps. The implemented approach may also serve other geographical or historical studies aiming to examine the development of branched networks throughout history.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted routine healthcare delivery, causing declines in CDC-recommended vaccination rates across the life-course in the United States (US). Ensuring protection against disease outbreaks and associated morbidity and mortality depends on improving vaccine coverage rates (VCRs) and uptake. The authors conducted a targeted literature review to assess the pandemic’s effects on routine vaccination rates across different populations, evaluating VCR recovery and improvement efforts. The review highlights articles published with data measuring or evaluating VCR decline across the US during the COVID-19 pandemic from January 2020 to April 2022, associated health impacts, and policy and programmatic strategies to recover routine VCRs. While vaccination rates stagnated or declined across some populations pre-pandemic, the review indicated there were further VCR declines in 2020 and 2021 compared to 2019 across numerous CDC-recommended vaccines, ages, and geographies, with some vaccines and sub-populations disproportionally impacted. The review additionally identified declines in patient healthcare visit frequency and increases in morbidity and mortality associated with vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) complications. Reviewed publications highlighted multifaceted strategies that could aid in recovering VCRs. Overall, findings demonstrate a significant reduction in VCRs across all age groups and highlight promising solutions to inform vaccine uptake efforts and ensure broader protection against VPDs.

description: A new derivation method of duality relations in stochastic processes is proposed. The current focus is on the duality between stochastic differential equations and birth-death processes. Although previous derivation methods have been based on the viewpoint of time-evolution operators, the current derivation is based on basis expansions. In addition, only the tool needed for the derivation is the integration by parts, which is rather simple and understandable. The viewpoint of basis expansions enables us to obtain various dual stochastic processes. As a demonstration, dual processes based on Taylor-type and Hermite polynomials are derived.

description: In this paper, the resistive switching and neuromorphic behavior of memristive devices based on parylene, a polymer both low-cost and safe for the human body, is comprehensively studied. The Metal/Parylene/ITO sandwich structures were prepared by means of the standard gas phase surface polymerization method with different top active metal electrodes (Ag, Al, Cu or Ti of about 500 nm thickness). These organic memristive devices exhibit excellent performance: low switching voltage (down to 1 V), large OFF/ON resistance ratio (about 10^3), retention (> 10^4 s) and high multilevel resistance switching (at least 16 stable resistive states in the case of Cu electrodes). We have experimentally shown that parylene-based memristive elements can be trained by a biologically inspired spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) mechanism. The obtained results have been used to implement a simple neuromorphic network model of classical conditioning. The described advantages allow considering parylene-based organic memristors as prospective devices for hardware realization of spiking artificial neuron networks capable of supervised and unsupervised learning and suitable for biomedical applications.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The recent collapse and recovery of the anchovy population in the Bay of Biscay raised the need to assess environmental influences on the mortality of juvenile stages, in particular the impacts of predation by tunas. Stomachs of 1354 albacore and 579 bluefin tunas were collected in several zones of the Bay of Biscay and adjacent waters in the summers of 2004–2007 (period of depletion in anchovy population) and of 2009–2010 (period of recovery). Among different years, average daily consumption of anchovy (when present in diet) varied between 6.7 and 26.5 individuals (max. 118) per day and predator for bluefin tunas, and between 4.8 and 15.5 (max. 103) for albacore. Anchovy consumption by tunas appeared to have an important interannual, seasonal, and geographical variability. Juvenile anchovy were absent from both albacore and bluefin tuna diets until early August in all years. They were also absent from albacore diet outside the inner Bay of Biscay (core area of anchovy) in 2004–2007, whereas they were present up to the most northwestern part of the Bay in 2010, which supposes a higher exposure to predation in the period of recovery. On the other hand, the absence of albacore in the inner Bay of Biscay since 2008 tends to reduce predation impacts. Anchovy appears to be a significantly more important prey for bluefin tuna than for albacore, particularly in the case of age‐1 bluefin tunas. No significant relationship was found between tuna size and anchovy consumption.

description: Coupling constants of $η$ and $η^{\prime}$ mesons with nucleons have been calculated using the method of QCD sum rules. Starting from vacuum-to-meson correlation function of interpolating fields of two nucleons, its matrix element with respect to nucleon spinors has been considered. Coupling constants at the physical points have been estimated from extrapolation of results obtained at two other points. Anomalous glue has been found to give substantial contribution to the coupling constants and also accounts for a significant OZI-rule violation.

A detailed analysis based on a comparison of the temperature dependences of the absorption band at 1125 cm^{-1} and of IR and Raman active fundamental vibrations results in assignment of the former to a biphonon.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Sandeels are eaten by a range of predatory fish including commercially fished species—but they are also exploited at large scale by industrial fisheries. Could sandeel depletions deprive predatory fish of food, so affecting their condition? In the North Sea, sandeel fishing is largely concentrated in the Dogger Bank region. Here we studied predator–sandeel interactions at two sites differing widely in sandeel abundance as well as in local sandeel fishing effort. Surveys took place in 2004, 2005, and 2006, years of comparatively low, rather high, and high sandeel abundance, respectively. In the two sandeel‐rich years, as well as in the sandeel‐rich study area, a range of predatory fish species exhibited higher sandeel consumption than was the case under sandeel‐poor conditions, and they also exhibited better body condition indices. As body condition relates to growth, reproduction, and survival chances, we infer that predators in sandeel‐rich conditions had a higher fitness. These links between sandeels, sandeel consumption, and predator condition hint that, if large‐scale localized depletions of sandeels were to occur, negative indirect effects on predatory fish species might become an issue, thus underlining the importance of considering the sandeel fishery in a wider ecosystem context.

description: The rank-2 sector of classical $3+1$ dimensional Ashtekar gravity is considered. It is found that the consistency of the evolution equations with the reality of the volume requires that the 3-surface of initial data is foliated by 2-surfaces tangent to degenerate triads. In turn, the degeneracy is preserved by the evolution. The 2-surfaces behave like $2+1$ dimensional empty spacetimes with a massless complex field propagating along each of them. The results provide some evidence for the issue of evolving a non-degenerate gravitational field into a degenerate sector of Ashtekar's phase space.

description: Background: Response to neoadjuvant cisplatin treatment in bladder cancer has been linked to expression of Bcl-2 protein by cancer cells. The objective of this study was to test Bcl-2 as a predictive marker of neoadjuvant cisplatin chemotherapy response in a patient cohort from randomized cystectomy trials. Methods: Tumor samples were taken from 247 patients with T2–T4 bladder cancer enrolled in two randomized trials comparing cystectomy with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Tissue microarrays from pre-intervention transurethral resection specimens were assessed for Bcl-2 protein status by immunohistochemistry. Extension of staining above 10% was regarded as positive. Downstaging and survival ratios in relation to Bcl-2 immunoreactivity and neoadjuvant chemotherapy utilization were calculated using the log rank test and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. Results: Bcl-2 expression was positive in 38% and negative in 62% of the 236 evaluable patients. Bcl-2 negative patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy had a significant increase in survival (p = 0.009), while Bcl-2 positive patients showed no difference (p = 0.4). However, the interaction variable between neoadjuvant chemotherapy and biomarker status was not significant (p = 0.38). When the prognostic value was assessed in the no-chemotherapy group, 5-year overall survival times were significantly better among Bcl-2 positive patients than among Bcl-2 negative patients (42 months vs 33 months, p = 0.04), but again Bcl-2 status did not remain independent when other factors were adjusted. Also, in a multivariate analysis with all patients, Bcl-2 was not significant. Conclusions: Bcl-2 status is not an independent predictor of neoadjuvant cisplatin chemotherapy response and is not prognostic in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
