description: Σκοπός της διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν η μελέτη και παρουσίαση των εικόνων ναζαρηνής τέχνης του Εκκλησιαστικού Μουσείου της Ιεράς Μητρόπολης Θεσσαλονίκης. Αρχικά, παρουσιάσαμε πληροφορίες για το κίνημα των Ναζαρηνών στην Ευρώπη. Στη συνέχεια, εξετάσαμε τους τρόπους πρόσληψης της νέας αυτής μορφής τέχνης από τους Έλληνες καλλιτέχνες, καταγράψαμε τα ονόματα πολλών εκπροσώπων της και αναλύσαμε την καλλιτεχνική πορεία μερικών από αυτών. Επιπλέον, εξετάσαμε την εξέλιξη της τέχνης αυτής στο Άγιο Όρος. Κατόπιν, περιγράψαμε τις συλλογές του μουσείου και ακολούθησαν δύο κατάλογοι: ο πρώτος αποτελείται από δεκατρείς ναζαρηνές εικόνες του μουσείου και ο δεύτερος, συμπληρωματικός, από πέντε εικόνες δυτικότροπες που όμως δεν τις κατατάξαμε στις ναζαρηνές. Η δεύτερη αυτή επιλογή έγινε ώστε να μπορέσει να κατανοήσει καλύτερα ο αναγνώστης τις διάφορες φάσεις της πρόσληψης των δυτικών στοιχείων στην Ελλάδα του 19ου αιώνα και των αρχών του 20ου. Διαπιστώσαμε την άρτια μουσειολογική μελέτη και παρουσιάση του υλικού στο μουσείο και τη στροφή των μελετητών και προς αυτή τη μορφή τέχνης.
description: The aim of the master’s thesis was the study and presentation of the Nazarene icons of the Ecclesiastical Museum of the Holy Metropolis of Thessaloniki. At first, we presented information about the Nazarene movement in Europe. Next, we examined the ways in which this new art form was adopted by Greek artists, recorded the names of many of its representatives, and analyzed some of them’s artistic path. In addition, we examined the progress of this art on Mount Athos. Then, we described the museum's collections and two catalogs followed: the first consists of thirteen Nazarene icons of the museum and the second, supplementary catalog, consists of five western-style icons, that we did not classify as Nazarene icons. This second selection was made so that the reader can better understand the various phases of the reception of western elements in Greece in the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. We found the perfect museological study and presentation of the material in the museum and the turn of the scholars towards this art form as well.

description: Context. J1407 (1SWASP J140747.93-394542.6 in full) is a young star in the Scorpius-Centaurus OB association that underwent a series of complex eclipses over 56 days in 2007. To explain these, it was hypothesised that a secondary substellar companion, J1407b, has a giant ring system filling a large fraction of the Hill sphere, causing the eclipses. Observations have not successfully detected J1407b, but do rule out circular orbits for the companion around the primary star. Aims. We test to what degree the ring model of J1407b could survive in an eccentric orbit required to fit the observations. Methods. We run N-body simulations under the AMUSE framework to test the stability of Hill radius-filling systems where the companion is on an eccentric orbit. Results. We strongly rule out prograde ring systems and find that a secondary of 60 to 100MJup with an 11 year orbital period and retrograde orbiting material can survive for at least $10^4$ orbits and produce eclipses with similar durations as the observed one.

description: Recent experimental reports on the realizations of two-dimensional (2D) networks of the C60-based fullerenes with anisotropic and nanoporous lattices represent a significant advance, and create exciting prospects for the development of a new class of nanomaterials. In this work, we employed theoretical calculations to explore novel C60-based fullerene lattices and subsequently evaluate their stability and key physical properties. After the energy minimization of extensive structures, we could detect novel 2D, 1D and porous carbon C60-based networks, with close energies to that of the isolated C60 cage. Density functional theory results confirm that the C60-based networks can exhibit remarkable thermal stability, and depending on their atomic structure show metallic, semimetallic or semiconducting electronic nature. Using the machine learning interatomic potentials, thermal and mechanical responses of the predicted nanoporous 2D lattices were investigated. The estimated thermal conductivity of the quasi-hexagonal-phase of C60 fullerene is shown to be in an excellent agreement with the experimental measurements. Despite of different atomic structures, the anisotropic room temperature lattice thermal conductivity of the fullerene nanosheets are estimated to be in the order of 10 W/mK. Unlike the majority of carbon-based 2D materials, C60-based counterparts noticeably are predicted to show positive thermal expansion coefficients. Porous carbon C60-based networks are found to exhibit superior mechanical properties, with tensile strengths and elastic modulus reaching extraordinary values of 50 and 300 GPa, respectively. The theoretical results presented in this work provide a comprehensive vision on the structural, energetic, electronic, thermal and mechanical properties of the C60-based fullerene networks.

description: During the last years the use of mechanical superchargers has gained increasing interest in a bid to combine attractive emission- and fuel consumption values with dynamic driving performance. Based on an analysis of available supercharging systems the development potential of twin screw superchargers is assessed. A concept using inlet slide valves is developed which allows at the same time to control the mass flow delivered by the supercharger and achieve an expansion of the transported charge under part load conditions when the delivered pressure is lower than ambient pressure, achieving a reduction in necessary shaft power or even the delivery of shaft power. To distinguish it from conventional superchargers the new device is called 'SCREW' - Screw type machine with Compressor Respectively Expander Working mode. The effect of several design parameters on the SCREW's performance is evaluated by extensive simulation calculations, showing that a suitable design varies considerable from conventional supercharger designs and that a significant amount of further research, especially covering the development of rotor profiles suited for this specific task, is still needed to fully utilize the concept's potential. As a proof of concept prototype SCREWs, based on a conventional twin screw supercharger, have been built and tested. The results obtained made clear the general suitability of the concept but also underlined the shortcomings of the prototype as they had already been predicted by the simulations. The SCREW concept is suitable to control the mass flow delivered by a supercharger in a considerable range and increase the efficiency under part load conditions significantly. To fully exploit the concept's potential a significant amount of basic optimization and a completely new design, establishing the SCREW as a category of it's own instead of just a modified supercharger, is needed.

description: Background: In 2015 an estimated 303,000 women died from maternal causes globally and developing countries account for 99% of these deaths. Delay in seeking care during labor is a recognized contributor for these adverse pregnancy outcomes. Birth preparedness and complication readiness plan is one of the crucial elements of Safe motherhood for a woman to get timely care during pregnancy and childbirth to avoid these adverse outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to see the patterns of admission of laboring mothers and the association between Birth preparedness and delayed presentation in public health centers of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2017 Method: This was a facility based cross-sectional study done in 10 public health centers of Addis Ababa from Mar-Apr, 2017. Multistage sampling technique was used to identify the sample health centers then systematic random sampling was used to select the study participants. Data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Tables and charts were used to present descriptive results. OR was used to measure association and 95% CI and P-Value<0.05 were used as predictors of significant association. Bi-variate and Multi-variate analysis was done to see the independent effect of each variable on the outcome variable. Result: Women who came delayed during labor were found to be 47%. Twenty and 13.6% of mothers came in latent first stage and second stage of labor respectively whereas the remaining 32.6% came during early active and 33.4% on late active first stage of labor. Four hundred fifty nine (74.2%) participants were found to be well prepared for birth and mothers who were not well prepared were 1.63(AOR=1.63:1.04, 2.55) times more likely to come delayed during labor. Women at older age (AOR=6.76:1.41, 32.35), multigravida women (AOR=2.14:1.36, 3.36), women having less visits than the recommended number of antenatal visits (AOR=1.8:1.17, 2.80), and aware of danger symptoms of post-partum (2.1:1.28, 2.54) were also the one who were more likely to come delayed. Conclusion: Delayed presentation during labor was found to be high and found to have an inverse relationship with level of birth preparedness. Focus on counseling women that every pregnancy is at risk, on birth preparedness and on the recommended number of antenatal visits is recommended.

description: Information retrieval systems retrieves relevant documents based on a query submitted by the user. The documents are initially indexed and the words in the documents are assigned weights using a weighting technique called TFIDF which is the product of Term Frequency (TF) and Inverse Document Frequency (IDF). TF represents the number of occurrences of a term in a document. IDF measures whether the term is common or rare across all documents. It is computed by dividing the total number of documents in the system by the number of documents containing the term and then computing the logarithm of the quotient. By default, we use base 10 to calculate the logarithm. In this paper, we are going to test this weighting technique by using a range of log bases from 0.1 to 100.0 to calculate the IDF. Testing different log bases for vector model weighting technique is to highlight the importance of understanding the performance of the system at different weighting values. We use the documents of MED, CRAN, NPL, LISA, and CISI test collections that scientists assembled explicitly for experiments in data information retrieval systems.

description: Supernova (SN) 2015bh (or SNhunt275) was discovered in NGC 2770 on 2015 February with an absolute magnitude of Mr ~ -13.4 mag, and was initially classified as a SN impostor. Here we present the photometric and spectroscopic evolution of SN 2015bh from discovery to late phases (~ 1 yr after). In addition, we inspect archival images of the host galaxy up to ~ 21 yr before discovery, finding a burst ~ 1 yr before discovery, and further signatures of stellar instability until late 2014. Later on, the luminosity of the transient slowly increases, and a broad light curve peak is reached after about three months. We propose that the transient discovered in early 2015 could be a core-collapse SN explosion. The pre-SN luminosity variability history, the long-lasting rise and faintness first light curve peak suggests that the progenitor was a very massive, unstable and blue star, which exploded as a faint SN because of severe fallback of material. Later on, the object experiences a sudden brightening of 3 mag, which results from the interaction of the SN ejecta with circumstellar material formed through repeated past mass-loss events. Spectroscopic signatures of interaction are however visible at all epochs. A similar chain of events was previously proposed for the similar interacting SN 2009ip.

description: In dieser Dissertation werden Möglichkeiten zur Rattererkennung beim Einlippen-Tiefbohren auf Basis des Körperschallsignals untersucht. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, eine Kontrollkarte zur frühzeitigen Erkennung des Einsetzens von Rattern im Bohrprozess zu entwickeln. Es wird festgestellt, dass sich das Rattern als Veränderung in den zweiten Momenten der Zeitreihen von Körperschallsignalen widerspiegelt. Möglichkeiten die Entwicklung der Varianz und der Korrelationsstruktur eines stochastischen Prozesses über die Zeit zu verfolgen, bieten sich mit der fensterweisen oder adaptiven Schätzung von Spektraldichte, spektraler Verteilungsfunktion, der Autokovarianzfunktion oder der Parameter von ARMA-Modellen. Bei Rattern verändern sich diese Größen je nach Stärke der Störung graduell oder abrupt, aber auch im ruhigen Prozess sind Veränderungen der entsprechenden Schätzwerte zu erkennen. Auf diesen Charakteristika basieren somit diverse in dieser Arbeit dargestellte Verfahren zur Erkennung spektraler Veränderungen in Zeitreihen. Ein Großteil der Methoden zur Kontrolle des Spektralverhaltens setzt voraus, dass die Veränderungen sprunghaft und groß im Vergleich zu sonstigem Rauschen sind. Andere Verfahren, die geeignet sind, kleinere oder graduelle Veränderungen zu erkennen, reagieren allerdings häufig sehr empfindlich auf kleine, irrelevante Schwankungen in den Charakteristika. Für die Überwachung des Körperschallsignals sind daher viele dieser Verfahren nicht empfehlenswert. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf der Untersuchung der Spektraldichte und deren Schätzern. Das Periodogramm und Abwandlungen davon sind einfach zu interpretieren und erhalten die gesamte Information über die Autokovarianzstruktur der Zeitreihe. Bei Betrachtung des Periodogramms in Blöcken über die Zeit wird eine hochdimensionale Zeitreihe erzeugt. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass es bei Verwendung des SLEX-Periodogramms möglich ist, in sich überschneidenden Blöcken sowohl in Zeit- als auch in Frequenzrichtung mit wachsender Blockgröße asymptotisch unkorrelierte Werte zu erhalten. In einer umfangreichen Untersuchung stellt sich die Itakura-Saito-Abweichung als ein in diesem Zusammenhang besonders geeignetes spektrales Abweichungsmaß heraus, das genutzt werden sollte, um die spektralen Veränderungen über die Zeit zu quantifizieren. Auf der Basis von SLEX-Periodogrammen und der Itakura-Saito-Abweichung wird ein Konzept für eine Kontrollkarte erstellt, das sich auf Vorbilder von klassischen multivariaten Kontrollkarten stützt. Es zeigt sich in den untersuchten Beispielen und Simulationen, dass die hier entwickelten Kontrollkarten geeignet sind, Rattern beim Anbohren und im laufenden Bohrprozess zu erkennen.

description: A covert timing channel is method that utilize to bypass security rules and transfer illegal data across several networks. It conceals critical data from the networks it targets by using traffic inter-arrival times. These channels are utilized by hostile tactics in a variety of damaging situations, including the exposure of economic and military secrets. Because they are not utilizing a new system, existing computer systems may be targeted to spread malware or worms without being discovered. Data leakage from cyber-attacks is on the rise, making the use of covert timing channels a significant network security issue that is getting more complex and pervasive. Therefore, identifying and mitigating the usage of covert timing channels is crucial in today's information technology architecture and network security. Many private and public companies are trying to develop techniques for identifying and eliminating covert timing channels. These approaches would benefit from an information security decision support system that was developed on top of them to assist protect the IT infrastructure. This dissertation makes significant advances fully automated covert timing channel identification and reduces the amount of data that might be transmitted over such channels. It provides a range of dependable and quick detection methods for successfully thwarting hidden timing channels. Images and sequential time series are used in these detection systems and different machine learning and deep learning methods. This study varies from others in the recent literature in the following ways: it combines different input data with various supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods, achieving noteworthy results, and giving important insight into how other solutions are used to develop realistic detection methods for detecting such channels in a variety of applications. The dissertation also introduces a novel method for precisely identifying traffic ow segments carrying covert communications. This accurate identification substantially minimizes overt traffic interruptions caused by non-malicious apps. Furthermore, it enhances the Quality of Service (QoS) that is compromised when the whole traffic ow is lost since it is highly disruptive to the QoS of the overt traffic of legitimate applications, which may include the majority of the packets in the dropped ows. The performance of the proposed methods in this research was tested and compared using various configurations of covert timing channel attacks ranging from simple to stealthy channels based on various sophisticated defensive strategies. These assaults also made use of various sizes of hidden messages. Our comparative analysis demonstrates a possible path for developing effective covert channel detection models utilizing a variety of input data and techniques, eliminating the requirement for robust and diverse concealed network traffic behavior.

description: Innerhalb der Gedächtnisinstitutionen Bibliothek, Museum und Archiv gibt es je eigene Beschreibungsmodelle der beherbergten Objekte und Materialien. Für eine genauere bibliographische Erschließung wurde im Bibliotheksbereich das von Benutzerbedürfnissen ausgehende, statische Modell "Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records" (FRBR) geschaffen, dessen ungenauer "Werk"-Begriff ebenso thematisiert wird wie die schwer zu realisierende Übertragbarkeit des Modells auf Nicht-Buchmaterialien. Die Museumswelt orientiert die Darstellung ihrer Bestände am CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM), das sich hinsichtlich der Beschreibung heterogener Museumsobjekte, also Artefakten künstlerischer und intellektueller Gestaltung, als hilfreich erwiesen hat. In gegenseitigem Austausch zwischen IFLA und ICOM wurde FRBR mit CRM harmonisiert. Das Ergebnis, FRBROO (Objektorientiertes FRBR), zeigt seine Vorzüge zum einen in einer strengeren Interpretation der Entitäten der Gruppe 1 des FRBR-Modells und zum anderen in einer genaueren Abbildung von Prozessen bzw. Ereignissen. Beispiele zum Anwendungsbezug von FRBROO zeigen dessen Zugewinn für die wissenschaftliche Erschließung hand-, druck- und online-schriftlicher Quellen, Werken der Darstellenden Kunst, Landkarten und Musikalien innerhalb einer CRM-basierten Datenbank.
description: Each of the three memory institutions library, museum and archive has developed his own conceptual model for their holdings of objects and materials. The static model "Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records" (FRBR) was established for a more precise bibliographic indexing in libraries. But this model lacks a detailed concept of the entity "work" and is not that much useful for non-book materials. The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) is the central data model for museums; it is very appropriate for the heterogeneous mass of museum objects and artefacts which are all products of an artistic or intellectual creation. IFLA and ICOM harmonized FRBR with CRM in mutual exchange. The outcome, FRBROO (object-oriented FRBR), shows advantages in terms of a more strict interpretation of the group 1-entities of FRBR, and also in a closer illustration of processes and events. Examples of an applied approach of FRBROO show its gain in scientific indexing of manuscripts, prints, online publications, performing arts, maps, and musical works within a CRM-based data base.

description: Background: Undernutrition is one of the major public health challenges in Ethiopia. Poor nutritional and hygiene practice major contributors to the problem. Focusing on the crucial period from conception to the child 2nd birthday which is the 1000 days is the best time to tackle the burden of undernutrition.It ensures a good nutrition, healthy growth that has lasting benefit throughout life. One of the strategies is awareness creation using mass media which is tailored to the context of the target audiences. Addressing nutritional through behavioral communication have been done so far hence most of the messages aren't consistent and doesn't bring satisfactory change. Objective: To assess the effect of 1000days message disseminated through TV /Radio on maternal and child feeding practice among mothers of childfren under two years. Method: This study was carried out in Mekelle city, Tigray region. It used Post - only community-based cross-sectional design using mixed method. A total of 602 mothers of under two children were selected using systematical random sampling. Additionally, 10 mothers of under two children's and 3 key informants were interviewed. Quantitative data were analyzed using STATA version 14.Multiple linear regression analysis was done to identify predictors of feeding practice at 95%CI and P< 0.05 was used to determine the statistically significant association. Qualitative data was entered into open code version 4.02 for analysis then analyzed using content analysis. Result: 47.3% of respondents reported they had been exposed to 1000 days spots. Exposure to Tv spots was found to be high than radio. The top key message mostly recalled was exclusive breastfeeding. The model was explained by age of the child (β= 0.156, p<0.00195%CI 0.0128 to0.0399 ), exposure to the spots (β=0.113, p=0.003 95% CI 0.0556 to 0.4066),those who watched television at least once a week (β=0.182,p=0.010 95% CI 0.0217 to1.1854), Tigray ethnicity (β=0.109, p=0.008 95%CI 0.1429 to 0.9307) and those who are widowed (β= -0.109 p=0.005 95%CI -2.8129 to -0.5003 ) significantly predict maternal and child feeding practice by 12.77%. The spots were highly liked, especially its message. Gap has been found in conducting need assessment, pretesting, selecting appropriate messenger in the design of message which results in low quality of the spots.Conclusion: Although the media have done a significant contribution in feeding practice, there is still more to be done with respect to affecting behavior change. Identifying the crucial behavioral determinants for feeding practice in 1000 days may be an important first step in planning effective large-scale promotion programmes.

description: Image noise is ubiquitous in photography. However, image noise is not compressible nor desirable, thus attempting to convey the noise in compressed image bitstreams yields sub-par results in both rate and distortion. We propose to explicitly learn the image denoising task when training a codec. Therefore, we leverage the Natural Image Noise Dataset, which offers a wide variety of scenes captured with various ISO numbers, leading to different noise levels, including insignificant ones. Given this training set, we supervise the codec with noisy-clean image pairs, and show that a single model trained based on a mixture of images with variable noise levels appears to yield best-in-class results with both noisy and clean images, achieving better rate-distortion than a compression-only model or even than a pair of denoising-then-compression models with almost one order of magnitude fewer GMac operations.

description: Within this thesis, an optical resonator is used to characterise the quantum state of a fs pulse squeezed in an optical fibre. The resonator separates the carrier pulse from the quantum state. The influences of the laser and the resonator's properties on this separation are investigated. Furthermore, the occurring Brillouin scattering on thermally excited vibrational modes of the fibre is examined. With the addition of a pulse shaper, the setup is enabled to experimentally access and measure complex correlation within the squeezed fs pulse.

description: Ever since the discovery of the record-high thermal conductivity of single layer graphene, thermal transport capability of monolayer 2D materials has been under constant spotlight. Since thermal conductivity is an intensive property for 3D materials and the thickness of 2D materials is not well defined, different definitions of thickness in literature have led to ambiguity towards predicting thermal conductivity values and thus in understanding the heat transfer capability of different monolayer 2D materials. We argue that if conventional definition of thermal conductivity should be used as the quantity to compare the heat transfer capability of various monolayer 2D materials, then the same thickness should be used. Alternatively, to circumvent the problem of ambiguous thickness completely, we also suggest that a "sheet thermal conductance" to be defined as an intensive 2D material property when characterizing the heat transfer capability of 2D materials. When converting literature thermal conductivity values of monolayer materials to this new property, some new features that were not displayed when using different thicknesses show up.

description: Through the Educational Administration off ice, a total of 88 schools were screened in Western Gojjam Region using self administrated questionnaires. From 88 recovered questionnaires, based on the defined criteria, only 68 questionnaires were accepted as properly completed. A total of 3580 students were interviewed through their teachers in four weeks time. From 3580 "indirectly" interviewed children, prevalences of 10.4%, 30.6% and 9.0% were found for the three markers; blood in stool, distended belly and schistosomiasis respectively. From 600 children screened parasitologicaly in 10 schools, over all 90 Schistosomiasis mansoni positives were found, yielding an estimated 15% prevalence rate for the region. A higher infection rate was found in males (17.5%) than females (12.9%) with an odds ratio of 1.64. A positive pearson's coefficient of correlation was found between the questionnaire and parasitological approaches in assessing the prevalence of intestinal schistosomiasis in ten schools. A coefficient of correlation of 0.89, 0.69, and 0 . 45 was found between the prevalence of schistosomiasis, prevalence of blood in the stool, and prevalence of distended belly respectively, and the parasitological screening. The indirect interview approach is not only operationally feasible, it is thirty times less costly biomedical approach. The also four times faster and than the corresponding possible use of the questionnaire approach in the monitoring of ~. mansoni infec tion is dis cussed. vi
Toward CL-20 crystalline covalent solids: On the dependence of energy and electronic properties on the effective size of CL-20 chains

description: One-dimensional CL-20 chains have been constructed using CH$_2$ molecular bridges for the covalent bonding between isolated CL-20 fragments. The energy and electronic properties of the nanostructures obtained have been analyzed by means of density functional theory and nonorthogonal tight-binding model considering Landauer-Büttiker formalism. It has been found that such systems become more thermodynamically stable as the efficient length of the chain increases. Thus, the formation of bulk covalent CL-20 solids may be energetically favorable, and such structures may possess high kinetic stability comparing to the CL-20 molecular crystals. As for electronic properties of pure CL-20 chains, they are wide-bandgap semiconductors with energy gaps equal to several electron volts that makes their use in nanoelectronic applications problematic without any additional modification.

title: Cesare alla conquista di Roma: il guado dell’Ariminus (Rubicon), la presa di Ariminum da parte dei Galli ed il terrore. Per una nuova interpretazione spazio-temporale degli eventi (versione rivista e corretta)

description: Il rimpatrio, veloce, e per occultissimum iter, di Cesare dalle Gallie negli ultimi giorni dell’anno 50 e nei primi del 49 a. C. per contrastare Pompeo e le decisioni del Senato della Repubblica ha ricevuto l’attenzione di molti studiosi per l’importanza che viene data al modo nel quale terminò la Repubblica a Roma. Il presente lavoro, basato sulle fonti antiche, vuole chiarire la strategia di Cesare, sfatando tanti luoghi comuni, ricercando il percorso fisico e temporale da Ravenna, allora nelle Gallie, fino a Roma. A questa analisi viene premessa la descrizione del teatro dei fatti, ricercando il confine fra la Gallia ed il territorio romano con il sistema viario in essere nella zona. Si entra poi nel dettaglio della successione temporale degli eventi argomentando sui luoghi percorsi da Cesare e si fanno ipotesi sulla sua strategia, pianificata ma anche sempre modificata da imprevisti, che ha così profondamente caratterizzato l’operato del grande condottiero: da Ravenna a Mevaniola, di qui a Rimini, seminando il terrore per una presunta invasione dei Galli, poi a Ravenna, di nuovo a Rimini con la legione aggiunta, e quindi verso Roma lungo la Flaminia.
Europol's Data Odyssey: Unraveling the Interplay of Big Data, Human Rights, and EU Legislative Intervention

description: Over the last couple of years there have been fierce discussions between Europol and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) over the processing of uncategorized data. The 1987 Recommendation on the use of personal data in the police sector already required law enforcement to foresee in Data Subject Categorization (DSC), i.e. the process of subdividing persons, data subjects, into categories, such as suspect, victim, witness, associate, informant and others. In 2016, both Europol and national law enforcement authorities for the processing of data, including operational data, were given a new legal framework, through respectively a Regulation and a Directive. In 2018, the European Union legislators agreed on a new legislative framework for the processing of data by institutions, agencies and bodies. Each one of these instruments refers, directly or indirectly, to the need to categorise data in the sphere of law enforcement, justice or border protection. However, the reference foreseen in the Europol Regulation has caused some turmoil. According to the EDPS, Europol could process non-DSC data, but more data protection measures were in order and even a retention period of six months was imposed. Whilst criticism on the Europol was widespread, the question was never answered whether the EDPS' view on the Europol Regulation was correct. This presentation argues that Europol could perform DSC for several reasons, but also argues that Europol, contrary to the conclusion of the EDPS, could process non-DSC data for as long as necessary. The line of argumentation is threefold. As the legislator intervened, and did not require Europol to seek redress before the CJEU, it will remain in doubt whether the CJEU would have agreed with the EDPS or with Europol. However, history has, at least for now, made clear that the EDPS cannot seek the annulment of specific provisions (Articles 74a and 74b of the consolidated Europol Regulation) touching upon it decision ordering Europol to delete non-DSC data after six months of processing. The General Court declared the case inadmissible, but the EDPS could still seek redress before the Court of Justice, where in case of admissibility, the line of reasoning included in this presentation could prove value.

description: Electron emission from nanometric size emitters becomes of increasing interest due to its involvement to sharp electron sources, vacuum breakdown phenomena and various other vacuum nanoelectronics applications. The most commonly used theoretical tools for the calculation of electron emission are still nowadays the Fowler-Nordheim and the Richardson-Laue-Dushman equations although it has been shown since the 1990's that they are inadequate for nanometrically sharp emitters or in the intermediate thermal-field regime. In this paper we develop a computational method for the calculation of emission currents and Nottingham heat, which automatically distinguishes among different emission regimes, and implements the appropriate calculation method for each. Our method covers all electron emission regimes (thermal, field and intermediate), aiming to maximize the calculation accuracy while minimizing the computational time. As an example, we implemented it in atomistic simulations of the thermal evolution of Cu nanotips under strong electric fields and found that the predicted behaviour of such nanotips by the developed technique differs significantly from estimations obtained based on the Fowler-Nordheim equation. Finally, we show that our tool can be also successfully applied in the analysis of experimental I-V data.

description: The LIT approach is tested for the calculation of astrophysical S-factors. As an example the S-factor of the reaction 2H(p,gamma)3He is considered. It is discussed that a sufficiently high density of LIT states at low energies is necessary for a precise determination of S-factors. In particular it is shown that the hyperspherical basis is not very well suited for such a calculation and that a different basis system is much more advantageous. A comparison of LIT results with calculations, where continuum wave functions are explicitly used, shows that the LIT approach leads to reliable results. It is also shown how an error estimate of the LIT inversion can be obtained.

description: In this paper, we investigate the quality of constraining the spin of the massive black hole (MBH) at the Galactic center (GC) by using full general relativistic simulations of the motion of a surrounding star. We obtain the dependence mapping of the spin-induced signals on any spin direction of the MBH for given example stars, which indicates the feasibility to test whether the spin direction is the same as the normal of the young stellar disk located at the GC, and, further to provide insights into the assembly history of the MBH. We demonstrate the quality of constraining the MBH spin that may be achieved, given any set of the astrometric and the redshift precisions of observational facilities. We find that in the ranges of the astrometric and the velocity precisions with 1--30$μ$as and 0.1--10 km/s, an improvement in astrometric precision would be more effective at improving the quality of constraining the spin than an improvement in velocity precision. We obtain the parameter space of the semimajor axis and the eccentricity for the orbit of the target star that a high-precision constraint on the GC MBH spin can be obtained via the motion of the star. Our results show that the spin of the GC MBH can be constrained with 1-sigma error ~0.02 by monitoring the orbital motion of a star, if existing as expected, with semimajor axis ~0.95 over a period shorter than a decade through future facilities.
