description: During its two-year mission at comet 67P, Rosetta nearly continuously monitored the inner coma plasma environment for gas production rates varying over three orders of magnitude, at distances to the nucleus from a few to a few hundred km. To achieve the best possible measurements, cross-calibration of the plasma instruments is needed. We construct with two different physical models to cross-calibrate the electron density as measured by the Mutual Impedance Probe (MIP) to the ion current and spacecraft potential as measured by the Rosetta Langmuir Probe (LAP), the latter validated with the Ion Composition Analyser (ICA). We retrieve a continuous plasma density dataset for the entire cometary mission with a much improved dynamical range compared to any plasma instrument alone and, at times, improve the temporal resolution from 0.24-0.74~Hz to 57.8~Hz. The new density dataset is consistent with the existing MIP density dataset and covers long time periods where densities were too low to be measured by MIP. The physical model also yields, at 3~hour time resolution, ion flow speeds as well as a proxy for the solar EUV flux from the photoemission from the Langmuir Probes. We report on two independent mission-wide estimates of the ion flow speed which are consistent with the bulk H$_2$O$^+$ ion velocities as measured by ICA. We find the ion flow to consistently be much faster than the neutral gas over the entire mission, lending further evidence that the ions are collisionally decoupled from the neutrals in the coma. RPC measurements of ion speeds are therefore not consistent with the assumptions made in previously published plasma density models of the comet ionosphere at the start and end of the mission. Also, the measured EUV flux is perfectly consistent with independently derived values previously published from Johansson et al. (2017) and lends support for the conclusions drawn therein.

description: This article introduces a design of a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), for the field of diamond particle detectors. This amplifier is described from simulation to measurements, which include pulses from α particles detection. In hadron therapy, with high-frequency pulsed particle beams, the diamond detector is a promising candidate for beam monitoring and time-stamping, with prerequisite of fast electronics. The LNA is designed with surface mounted components and RF layout techniques to control costs and to allow timing performance suitable for sub-nanosecond edges of pulses. Also this amplifier offers the possibility of high voltage biasing, a characteristic essential for driving diamond detectors. Finally the greatest asset of this study is certainly the minimization of the power consumption, which allows us to consider designs with multiple amplifiers, in limited space, for striped diamond detectors.

description: Using isobaric Monte Carlo simulations, we map out the entire phase diagram of a system of hard cylindrical particles of length $L$ and diameter $D$, using an improved algorithm to identify the overlap condition between two cylinders. Both the prolate $L/D>1$ and the oblate $L/D<1$ phase diagrams are reported with no solution of continuity. In the prolate $L/D>1$ case, we find intermediate nematic \textrm{N} and smectic \textrm{SmA} phases in addition to a low density isotropic \textrm{I} and a high density crystal \textrm{X} phase, with \textrm{I-N-SmA} and \textrm{I-SmA-X} triple points. An apparent columnar phase \textrm{C} is shown to be metastable as in the case of spherocylinders. In the oblate $L/D<1$ case, we find stable intermediate cubatic \textrm{Cub}, nematic \textrm{N}, and columnar \textrm{C} phases with \textrm{I-N-Cub}, \textrm{N-Cub-C}, and \textrm{I-Cub-C} triple points. Comparison with previous numerical and analytical studies is discussed. The present study, accounting for the explicit cylindrical shape, paves the way to more sophisticated models with important biological applications, such as viruses and nucleosomes.

description: Spin defects in solid-state materials are strong candidate systems for quantum information technology and sensing applications. Here we explore in details the recently discovered negatively charged boron vacancies ($V_B^-$) in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and demonstrate their use as atomic scale sensors for temperature, magnetic fields and externally applied pressure. These applications are possible due to the high-spin triplet ground state and bright spin-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of the $V_B^-$. Specifically, we find that the frequency shift in optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) measurements is not only sensitive to static magnetic fields, but also to temperature and pressure changes which we relate to crystal lattice parameters. Our work is important for the future use of spin-rich hBN layers as intrinsic sensors in heterostructures of functionalized 2D materials.

description: MaxQuant is a popular software for the quantitative analysis of large datasets from mass spectrometry based proteomics experiments. Initially restricted to the Microsoft Windows operating system, its recent versions are compatible with Mono, the open source implementation of Microsoft’s .NET framework. This allows MaxQuant to be distributed as a Conda package and run on Linux-operated clusters. We present a Galaxy tool that provides a wrapper for MaxQuant. At the current state of the development, the tool offers a reduced set of configuration options, but also the option to run searches with a parameter file that was created beforehand, e.g., using the traditional MaxQuant GUI. We further present examples of workflows for proteomics data analysis and visualization based on the MaxQuant wrapper.

The tool is intended to be part of the Galaxy-Proteomics Tool Shed. The current version is available at https://usegalaxy.eu/root?tool_id=maxquant. The source code is available on GitHub.

description: We revisit Machina's local utility as a tool to analyze attitudes to multivariate risks. We show that for non-expected utility maximizers choosing between multivariate prospects, aversion to multivariate mean preserving increases in risk is equivalent to the concavity of the local utility functions, thereby generalizing Machina's result in Machina (1982). To analyze comparative risk attitudes within the multivariate extension of rank dependent expected utility of Galichon and Henry (2011), we extend Quiggin's monotone mean and utility preserving increases in risk and show that the useful characterization given in Landsberger and Meilijson (1994) still holds in the multivariate case.

description: We have performed ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the mechanism of the phase transition at high pressure from hexagonal graphite (HG) to hexagonal diamond (HD) or to cubic diamond (CD). The transition from HG to HD is found to occur swiftly in very small time of 0.2 ps, with large cooperative displacements of all the atoms. We observe that alternate layers of atoms in HG slide in opposite directions by (1/3, 1/6, 0) and (-1/3, -1/6, 0), respectively, which is about 0.7 Å along the pm[2, 1, 0] direction, while simultaneously puckering by about pm0.25 Å perpendicular to the a-b plane. The transition from HG to CD occurred with more complex cooperative displacements. In this case, six successive HG layers slide in pairs by 1/3 along [0, 1, 0], [-1, -1, 0] and [1, 0, 0], respectively along with the puckering as above. We have also performed calculations of the phonon spectrum in HG at high pressure, which reveal soft phonon modes that may facilitate the phase transition involving the sliding and puckering of the HG layers. The zero-point vibrational energy and the vibrational entropy are found to have important role in stabilizing HG up to higher pressures (>10 GPa) and temperatures than that estimated (<6 GPa) from previous enthalpy calculations.

How does degree heterogeneity affect an order-disorder transition?

Subjects: subject: Physics and Society (physics.soc-ph)

description: We focus on the role played by the node degree distribution on the way collective phenomena emerge on complex networks. To address this question, we focus analytically on a typical model for cooperative behaviour, the Majority Rule, applied to dichotomous networks. The latter are composed of two kinds of nodes, each kind $i$ being characterized by a degree $k_i$. Dichotomous networks are therefore a simple instance of heterogeneous networks, especially adapted in order to reveal the effect of degree heterogeneity. Our main result are that degree heterogeneity affects the location of the order-disorder transition and that the system exhibits non-equipartition of the average opinion between the two kinds of nodes. This effect is observed in the ordered phase and in the disordered phase.

Isolation and characterization of three novel dictyostelium ras genes : evidence for a unique, developmentally regulated ras gene family
Creators: name: Daniel, Juliet Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Members of the ras gene superfamily encode low molecular weight (21-23 kDa) GTP-binding proteins that are believed to play a role in signal transduction. In the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, two ras genes, (rasD and rasG), and one ras-related gene, (rap1), have been previously isolated and characterized, but preliminary evidence suggested that there were additional ras genes in Dictyostelium. Using the differential hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques, no additional rap genes were isolated, but three novel ras genes, rasB, rasC, and rasS, were cloned and characterized. The expression of all three genes is developmentally regulated; in the wild type Dictyostelium strain V12M2, maximum levels of the rasB transcript were detected during growth and early development, while maximum levels of the rasC and rasS transcripts were detected during aggregation. Consequently, during early development and aggregation, at least four ras genes (rasB, rasC, rasG, and rasS) are being expressed simultaneously in Dictyostelium. The deduced amino acid sequences of rasB, rasC, and rasS are more related to the Dictyostelium RasD and RasG proteins, and the human H-Ras protein than they are to any of the other Ras-related proteins such as Ral, R-Ras, Rho, and Rab. Like RasD, RasG, and Rap1, the RasB protein possesses a conserved effector binding domain relative to H-Ras. However, RasC and RasS have single amino acid substitutions in their effector binding domains at residues that are believed to be necessary for Ras biological activity (RasC: D38N, and RasS: 136L). RasB, RasC, and RasS also have at least three amino acid differences in their effector-proximal domain, a domain which is believed to be involved in Ras target activation and which also acts in conjunction with the effector domain. In addition, all three proteins have amino acid substitutions in the Yl3-259 epitope, a region believed to be involved in mediating Ras:GAP interactions. The RasB and RasC GST-fusion proteins, which have single amino acid substitutions in the Yl3-259 epitope, reacted with the Y13-259 monoclonal antibody but the RasS fusion protein, with three amino acid substitutions in the epitope, did not. Since RasD and RasG have identical Y13-259 epitope, effector, and effector-proximal domain sequences, the atypical variations in the corresponding domains of RasB, RasC, and RasS, suggest that RasB, RasC, and RasS may each interact with different effector and/or GAP molecules than RasD and RasG, and hence have distinct functions. Furthermore, the multiplicity of ras genes in Dictyostelium, coupled with their distinctive gene expression patterns, suggests that the distinct ras gene products may be involved in an intricate network of signal transduction pathways which regulate the Dictyostelium developmental process.

description: We introduce a simple, practical approach with probabilistic information-theoretic security to solve one of quantum key distribution's major security weaknesses: the requirement of an authenticated classical channel to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. Our scheme employs classical secret sharing and partially trusted intermediaries to provide arbitrarily high confidence in the security of the protocol. Although certain failures elude detection, we discuss preemptive strategies to reduce the probability of failure to an arbitrarily small level: probability of such failures is exponentially suppressed with increases in connectivity (i.e., connections per node).

description: The angles of the CKM unitarity triangle are now known well enough to allow a determination of its sides from global fits, with good accuracy. Assuming that new physics does not affect the angles, UTfit and CKMfitter find $|V_{ub}| = (3.50\pm 0.18)\times 10^{-3}$. Using this result, and new high-precision data on the spectrum of $B\toπ\ellν$ decays from BaBar, we find $|V_{ub}| f_+(0) = (9.1\pm 0.7)\times 10^{-4}$ and $f_+(0) = 0.26\pm 0.02$, with $f_+$ the $B\toπ$ weak transition form factor. These results are {\em completely model-independent}. We compare them to theoretical calculations from lattice and QCD sum rules on the light-cone.

description: We derive observed Halpha and R band luminosity densities of an HI-selected sample of nearby galaxies using the SINGG sample to be l_Halpha' = (9.4 +/- 1.8)e38 h_70 erg s^-1 Mpc^-3 for Halpha and l_R' = (4.4 +/- 0.7)e37 h_70 erg s^-1 A^-1 Mpc^-3 in the R band. This R band luminosity density is approximately 70% of that found by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This leads to a local star formation rate density of log(SFRD) = -1.80 +0.13/-0.07(random) +/- 0.03(systematic) + log(h_70) after applying a mean internal extinction correction of 0.82 magnitudes. The gas cycling time of this sample is found to be t_gas = 7.5 +1.3/-2.1 Gyr, and the volume-averaged equivalent width of the SINGG galaxies is EW(Halpha) = 28.8 +7.2/-4.7 A (21.2 +4.2/-3.5 A without internal dust correction). As with similar surveys, these results imply that SFRD(z) decreases drastically from z ~ 1.5 to the present. A comparison of the dynamical masses of the SINGG galaxies evaluated at their optical limits with their stellar and HI masses shows significant evidence of downsizing: the most massive galaxies have a larger fraction of their mass locked up in stars compared with HI, while the opposite is true for less massive galaxies. We show that the application of the Kennicutt star formation law to a galaxy having the median orbital time at the optical limit of this sample results in a star formation rate decay with cosmic time similar to that given by the SFRD(z) evolution. This implies that the SFRD(z) evolution is primarily due to the secular evolution of galaxies, rather than interactions or mergers. This is consistent with the morphologies predominantly seen in the SINGG sample.

description: We present the results of a single dish survey toward 95 VeLLOs in optically thick (HCN 1-0) and thin ($\rm N_2H^+$ 1-0) lines performed for the purpose of understanding the physical processes of inward motions in the envelopes of the VeLLOs and characterizing their true nature. The normalized velocity differences ($δV_{HCN}$) between the peak velocities of the two lines were derived for 41 VeLLOs detected in both lines. The $δV$ distribution of these VeLLOs is found to be significantly skewed to the blue, indicating the dominance of infalling motions in their envelopes. The infall speeds were derived for 15 infall candidates by using the HILL5 radiative transfer model. The speeds were in the range of 0.03 $\rm km~s^{-1}$ to 0.3 $\rm km~s^{-1}$, with a median value of 0.16 $\rm km~s^{-1}$, being consistent with the gravitational free-fall speeds from pressure-free envelopes. The mass infall rates calculated from the infall speeds are mostly of the order of $10^{-6} M_{\odot}~yr^{-1}$ with a median value of $\rm 3.4 \pm 1.5 \times 10^{-6} M_{\odot}~yr^{-1}$. These are found to be also consistent with the values predicted with the inside-out collapse model and show a fairly good correlation with the internal luminosities of the VeLLOs. This again indicates that the infall motions observed toward the VeLLOs are likely to be due to the gravitational infall motions in their envelopes. Our study suggests that most of the VeLLOs are potentially faint protostars while two of the VeLLOs could possibly be proto-brown dwarf candidates.

description: Engineering a low singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST) is necessary for efficient reverse intersystem crossing (rISC) in delayed fluorescence (DF) organic semiconductors, but results in a small radiative rate that limits performance in LEDs. Here, we study a model DF material, BF2, that exhibits a strong optical absorption (absorption coefficient =3.8x10^5 cm^-1) and a relatively large ΔEST of 0.2 eV. In isolated BF2 molecules, intramolecular rISC is slow (260 μs), but in aggregated films, BF2 generates intermolecular CT (inter-CT) states on picosecond timescales. In contrast to the microsecond intramolecular rISC that is promoted by spin-orbit interactions in most isolated DF molecules, photoluminescence-detected magnetic resonance shows that these inter-CT states undergo rISC mediated by hyperfine interactions on a ~24 ns timescale and have an average electron-hole separation of >1.5 nm. Transfer back to the emissive singlet exciton then enables efficient DF and LED operation. Thus, access to these inter-CT states resolves the conflicting requirements of fast radiative emission and low ΔEST.

description: Σκοπός της μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας ήταν η διερεύνηση του ζητήματος της ελληνικότητας και του ιδεώδους του Γιώργου Θεοτοκά για το ‘Νεοελληνικό Λαϊκό Θέατρο’. Πρόκειται για τον τίτλο που δίνει ο ίδιος ο συγγραφέας σε επτά από τις δεκατρείς δραματουργικές του απόπειρες. Εξετάσαμε τον τρόπο με τον οποίο αυτά τα ζητήματα εκφράζονται μέσα από τέσσερις κωμωδίες του, οι οποίες ανήκουν σε αυτό το συγκεκριμένο σύνολο των έργων του δραματουργού. Πρόκειται για τα έργα Όνειρο του Δωδεκάμερου, Το κάστρο της Ωριάς, Το Παιχνίδι της Τρέλας και της Φρονιμάδας, Συναπάντημα στην Πεντέλη. Η μελέτη αυτή διερευνά το ιστορικό πλαίσιο της εποχής που ξεκινά λίγα χρόνια νωρίτερα, με τη συγγραφή του δοκιμίου μανιφέστου του Θεοτοκά Ελεύθερο Πνεύμα, όπου ο συγγραφέας αναρωτιέται τι θα συμβεί με την λογοτεχνία στην Ελλάδα και εκφράζει την αγωνία του να εφαρμοστούν στην πράξη οι αρχές της Γενιάς του Τριάντα περί ελληνικότητας. Τα τελευταία χρόνια τέθηκε συχνά από μελετητές το ερώτημα για τη χρήση του όρου Γενιά του Τριάντα. Εξετάσαμε τους λόγους για τους οποίους η ελληνικότητα συνδέθηκε με τη γενιά αυτή, τι είδους ελληνικότητα απασχολούσε τον Θεοτοκά και εάν το όραμα εκείνης της γενιάς εκφράστηκε και εκπληρώθηκε στις κωμωδίες του. Η εργασία περιλαμβάνει τρεις άξονες που σχετίζονται με τον αισθητικό προσανατολισμό στη θεατρική γραφή του συγγραφέα, τον τρόπο που εκείνος συνομιλεί με την παράδοση και την ιδεολογία της ελληνικότητας του τότε.
description: The aim of the thesis was to investigate the issue of Hellinism and the ideal of Giorgos Theotokas for ‘Modern Greek Popular Theatre’. This is the title given by the author himself in seven of his thirteen dramaturgical attempts. We examined the way in which these issues are expressed through four comedies, which belong to this particular set of dramatist projects. These are Dream of Dodekamero, The Castle of Oria, The Game of Madness and Decency, Encounter at Penteli. This study explores the historical context of the time that begins a few years earlier, with the writing of Theotokas’s manifesto essay Free Spirit, where the author wonders what would happen with the literature in Greece and expresses his anguish to put into practice the ideas of the Generation of the Thirties about Hellenism. In recent years scholars often came across the question of the use of the term Generation of the Thirties. We examined the reasons why the Greek character is associated with that generation, what kind of Hellenism employed by Theotokas and whether the vision of that generation was expressed and fulfilled in his comedies. The work includes three areas associated with the sensory-oriented theatrical spirit of the writer, the way he interacts to tradition and the ideology of Hellenism of the times.
Activation barrier scaling and crossover for noise-induced switching in a micromechanical parametric oscillator

description: We explore fluctuation-induced switching in a parametrically-driven micromechanical torsional oscillator. The oscillator possesses one, two or three stable attractors depending on the modulation frequency. Noise induces transitions between the coexisting attractors. Near the bifurcation points, the activation barriers are found to have a power law dependence on frequency detuning with critical exponents that are in agreement with predicted universal scaling relationships. At large detuning, we observe a crossover to a different power law dependence with an exponent that is device specific.

description: Wenn ich recht sehe, kann man zwei unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf den Begriff der Resilienz unterscheiden: die Anpassungsperspektive und die Verarbeitungsperspektive. Bei der Verarbeitungsperspektive geht es darum, herauszufinden, wie bestimmte Kollektive wie etwa Städte, Organisationen oder ganze Gesellschaften mit Naturrisiken und Sozialkatastrophen fertig werden, d.h. wie sie es schaffen, an ihnen nicht zu zerbrechen, sondern sie – auf welche Weise auch immer – zu verarbeiten. Diese Verarbeitungskompetenz ist für mich der eigentliche Kern von Resilienz.
Gender differences in spouses’ coping with marital tension
Creators: name: Daylen, Judith Lynne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study provides an examination of gender differences in the coping process of married couples dealing with naturally occurring marital tension. Emphasizing the interpersonal aspects of marital coping, this study examined spouses' reports of their use of confrontation, compromise, and withdrawal strategies and the relationship between spouses' coping reports and their own mood and their partner's mood. The data analyzed in this study were drawn from a community sample of 168 heterosexual, married couples who completed daily structured diaries for a six-week period. The diary questionnaires assessed each spouse's daily reports of marital tension or arguments, appraisals of marital tension, their own coping and their perceptions of their partner's coping (scored using both raw and relative coping values), and daily reports of mood. Analyses of the daily responses across the diary period revealed that wives reported proportionately more days in which marital tension occurred than did their husbands. In addition, wives were significantly more distressed by the occurrence of marital tension than were their husbands. Analyses of a subset of the data (n = 59 couples) in which both spouses within a couple reported marital tension on the same day revealed no gender differences in spouses' appraisal of marital tension or in their coping with marital tension. Significant gender differences emerged, however, in the extent to which spouses' distress was related to their own coping or their partner's coping. The findings from this study suggest that the influence of gender operated at the initial level at which spouses reported the existence of marital tension, but when both spouses agreed that marital tension had occurred, husbands and wives tended to report dealing with marital tension in similar ways. The role of gender also operated in the relationship between coping and spouses' mood. These gender similarities and differences are discussed in relation to the gender-based demand-withdraw patterns reported in the previous literature. The results of this study suggest that gender differences found in studies with maritally distressed couples who respond to reenacted marital conflict may not generalize to community residing couples dealing with naturally occurring marital stressors in their day-to-day lives.

description: Faraday complexity describes whether a spectropolarimetric observation has simple or complex magnetic structure. Quickly determining the Faraday complexity of a spectropolarimetric observation is important for processing large, polarised radio surveys. Finding simple sources lets us build rotation measure grids, and finding complex sources lets us follow these sources up with slower analysis techniques or further observations. We introduce five features that can be used to train simple, interpretable machine learning classifiers for estimating Faraday complexity. We train logistic regression and extreme gradient boosted tree classifiers on simulated polarised spectra using our features, analyse their behaviour, and demonstrate our features are effective for both simulated and real data. This is the first application of machine learning methods to real spectropolarimetry data. With 95 per cent accuracy on simulated ASKAP data and 90 per cent accuracy on simulated ATCA data, our method performs comparably to state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks while being simpler and easier to interpret. Logistic regression trained with our features behaves sensibly on real data and its outputs are useful for sorting polarised sources by apparent Faraday complexity.

description: It is shown that the dual to the linear programming problem that arises in constraint-based models of metabolism can be given a thermodynamic interpretation in which the shadow prices are chemical potential analogues, and the objective is to minimise free energy consumption given a free energy drain corresponding to growth. The interpretation is distinct from conventional non-equilibrium thermodynamics, although it does satisfy a minimum entropy production principle. It can be used to motivate extensions of constraint-based modelling, for example to microbial ecosystems.

description: We present a method to estimate dense depth by optimizing a sparse set of points such that their diffusion into a depth map minimizes a multi-view reprojection error from RGB supervision. We optimize point positions, depths, and weights with respect to the loss by differential splatting that models points as Gaussians with analytic transmittance. Further, we develop an efficient optimization routine that can simultaneously optimize the 50k+ points required for complex scene reconstruction. We validate our routine using ground truth data and show high reconstruction quality. Then, we apply this to light field and wider baseline images via self supervision, and show improvements in both average and outlier error for depth maps diffused from inaccurate sparse points. Finally, we compare qualitative and quantitative results to image processing and deep learning methods. http://visual.cs.brown.edu/diffdiffdepth

description: Οι ποτάμιες μεταφορές αποτελούν μια αναπτυσσόμενη και εξελίξιμη μορφή μεταφορών που μπορεί να υπαχθεί στη Ναυτιλία Μικρών Αποστάσεων. Η Ναυτιλία Μικρών Αποστάσεων παίζει σπουδαίο και σημαντικό ρόλο στις μεταφορές των εμπορευμάτων μέσα στην ΕΕ. Μια ανάλογη σημασία θα έχει και η σύνδεση του Δούναβη με το Αιγαίο μέσω των ποταμών Μοράβα και Βάρνταρ/Αξιού, διασχίζοντας τη Σερβία, την ΠΓΔΜ και την Ελλάδα. H ιδέα της σύνδεσης του Δούναβη με το Αιγαίο μέσω των ποταμών Μοράβα και Αξιού/Βάρνταρ πρωτοεκδηλώθηκε το 1841 εξαιτίας των γεωγραφικών και γεωπολιτικών πλεονεκτημάτων που θα είχε μια τέτοια σύνδεση καθώς επίσης και με τη μεγάλη σημασία που θα είχε η σύνδεση της Βόρειας και της Κεντρικής Ευρώπης με τη Μεσόγειο Θάλασσα. Για πολλά χρόνια εκπονήθηκαν διάφορες μελέτες για την υλοποίηση αυτού του έργου, αλλά μόλις το 2013 ξανά ήρθε στην επικαιρότητα με αφορμή την επίσκεψη του Σέρβου Υπουργού φυσικών πόρων στην Κίνα. Σκοπός της παρούσης εργασίας είναι η παρουσίαση όλων των τεχνικών χαρακτηριστικών και λεπτομερειών του έργου με την ταυτόχρονη παρουσίαση των περιορισμών που έχει η κατασκευή μιας τέτοιας θαλάσσιας σύνδεσης μεταξύ του Δούναβη με του Αιγαίου. Παράλληλα όμως παρουσιάζονται και τα πλεονεκτήματα και τα οφέλη από την κατασκευή μιας τέτοιας θαλάσσιας σύνδεσης, για τις χώρες που διασχίζει ο ποταμός αλλά και για το λιμάνι της Θεσσαλονίκης.
description: Ιnland waterways are a sort of way of transportation which are included in Short Sea Shipping. Short Sea Shipping has an important role in the freight transportation within EU. Similar significance will have the Danube link with Aegean Sea through Morava river and Vardar/Axios, which pass through Serbia, FYROM and Greece. The idea of the connection of Danube with the Aegean Sea through Morava river and Vardar/Axios was first demonstrated in 1841 because of the geographic and political importance that would have such a link. For Many years, a lot of studies have been published for this linkage but only on 2013, the minister of Natural Resources of Serbia published again the idea in a visit in China Republic. The Chinese shows interest about the feasibility studies of such a link between Danube and Aegean Sea. In this thesis, all the technical characteristics and the details of the project, presented with the simultaneous presentation of the restrictions of the construction of such a maritime link between the Danube and Aegean Sea. Furthermore the advantages of this link presented especially for the countries which are the river pass through and especially for the port of Thessaloniki.
Dual theory of choice with multivariate risks

description: We propose a multivariate extension of Yaari's dual theory of choice under risk. We show that a decision maker with a preference relation on multidimensional prospects that preserves first order stochastic dominance and satisfies comonotonic independence behaves as if evaluating prospects using a weighted sum of quantiles. Both the notions of quantiles and of comonotonicity are extended to the multivariate framework using optimal transportation maps. Finally, risk averse decision makers are characterized within this framework and their local utility functions are derived. Applications to the measurement of multi-attribute inequality are also discussed.
