description: The Generalized Coherent State Model, proposed previously for a unified description of magnetic and electric collective properties of nuclear systems, is used to study the ground state band charge density as well as the E0 transitions from $0^+_β$ to $0^+_g$. The influence of the nuclear deformation and of angular momentum projection on the charge density is investigated. The monopole transition amplitude has been calculated for ten nuclei. The results are compared with some previous theoretical studies and with the available experimental data. Our results concerning angular momentum projection are consistent with those of previous microscopic calculations for the ground state density. The calculations for the E0 transitions agree quite well with the experimental data. Issues like how the shape transitions or shape coexistence are reflected in the $ρ(E0)$ behavior are also addressed.

description: Modern pulsar surveys produce many millions of candidate pulsars, far more than can be individually inspected. Traditional methods for filtering these candidates, based upon the signal-to-noise ratio of the detection, cannot easily distinguish between interference signals and pulsars. We have developed a new method of scoring candidates using a series of heuristics which test for pulsar-like properties of the signal. This significantly increases the sensitivity to weak pulsars and pulsars with periods close to interference signals. By applying this and other techniques for ranking candidates from a previous processing of the Parkes Multi-beam Pulsar Survey, 28 previously unknown pulsars have been discovered. These include an eccentric binary system and a young pulsar which is spatially coincident with a known supernova remnant.

Estrogenic activities of native and cultivated legume species
Creators: name: Gammie, James Stuart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Examination of Vicia amen'cana and Astragalus miser var. serotinus for estrogenic and anti-estrogenic activity demonstrated low potency uterotrophic compounds interfering with synthetic hormones in mammalian reproductive tracts. The potency of the extracts was affected by stage of growth. A toxic fraction was present in Astragalus miser var. serotinus at full bloom stage. Hormonal activity was not correlated with proximate analysis results for both species. Examination of the extract components revealed the overall structures of phenolic and aromatic compounds, including isoflavones, in a dynamic state throughout the growing season. The effects of topical fertilizer application on alsike clover (Trifolium hybridum), ladino clover (Trifolium repens var. ladino) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) indicated that dry matter yields were slightly but insignificantly affected by fertilizer application. A method for the quantitative analysis of the free estrogenic isoflavones biochanin A and genistein was developed. Estimation of these two isoflavones, in addition to coumestrol and formononetin, illustrated that N, P and K applications would significantly affect the level of these plant sterols in the legume species. Alsike clover increased in total isoflavone content with phosphate addition; ladino clover increased total isoflavones to phosphate deficiency and complete fertilizers; alfalfa did not respond to fertilizer treatment. Total estrogenic compounds on a dry matter basis were less affected in the three species than were individual isoflavone components.

description: This project aims to create a tour application for the sightseeing of the city of Serres to highlight cultural sites and familiarize children with the local history. The application will be entirely based on new technologies and adapted for primary school pupils. Initially, the literature study will try to highlight the contribution of digital guides to promoting cultural sites and regional museums, strengthening formal and informal education and familiarizing children with their local history, culture and traditions. The following will describe the design, the choice of digital tools and the objectives of creating this specific application for use by the teacher and pupils in and outside the school environment. The description and the pedagogical background of the proposed ways of using the digital guide complete the study and are followed by the conclusions drawn from the pilot implementation of the programme in a local school in Athens.
Re-identification of G35.6-0.4 as a supernova remnant

description: G35.6-0.4 is an extended radio source in the Galactic plane which has previously been identified as either a supernova remnant or an HII region. Observations from the VLA Galactic Plane Survey at 1.4 GHz with a resolution of 1 arcmin allow the extent of G35.6-0.4 to be defined for the first time. Comparison with other radio survey observations show that this source has a non-thermal spectral index, with alpha -0.47 +/- 0.07. G35.6-0.4 does not have obvious associated infra-red emission, so it is identified as a Galactic supernova remnant, not an HII region. It is approximately 15 x 11 arcmin**2 in extent, showing partial limb brightening.

description: We consider the exclusive diffractive dissociation of a proton into three jets with large transverse momenta in the double-logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD. This process is sensitive to the proton unintegrated gluon distribution at small x and to the proton light-cone distribution amplitudes. According to our estimates, an observation of such processes in the early runs at LHC is feasible for jet transverse momenta of the order of 5 GeV.

description: We use the idea of a Wigner surmise to compute approximate distributions of the first eigenvalue in chiral Random Matrix Theory, for both real and complex eigenvalues. Testing against known results for zero and maximal non-Hermiticity in the microscopic large-N limit we find an excellent agreement, valid for a small number of exact zero-eigenvalues. New compact expressions are derived for real eigenvalues in the orthogonal and symplectic classes, and at intermediate non-Hermiticity for the unitary and symplectic classes. Such individual Dirac eigenvalue distributions are a useful tool in Lattice Gauge Theory and we illustrate this by showing that our new results can describe data from two-colour QCD simulations with chemical potential in the symplectic class.

La formazione dei genitori: un modello di intervento in contesti socioculturali “a rischio”
Creators: name: Mignosi, Elena
Publisher: name: Studi sulla Formazione
Year: 2013

description: This article presents a possible model of parents’ training in an area at risk by a socio-economic and cultural point of view. It clarifies the theoretical framework that, during four years, has been the basis for the design, the implementation and the evaluation of several actions in a primary school in the city of Palermo. From this theoretical framework, which concern primarily the eco-systemic and socioconstructivist perspectives, some basic points are enucleated, such as the concepts of "context" and of empowerment. Some methodological and operational choices are also explained, in line with this approach, such as: the dimension of the working group, the narrative and the life stories dimension, the analogical area and the dimension of the “play” as “transitional area”. The monitoring and the evaluation in the short and medium term have shown that training programs, according to these theoretical and methodological principles, operate in a system in which the increase in the power of individuals increases the power of the group. However, since the deep cultural changes are long and difficult, it is necessary don’t forget the socio-political dimension, otherwise there will be the possibility of the nullification of the interventions and the risk of causing new frustrations.

The Impact of Intrinsic Alignments: Cosmological Constraints from a Joint Analysis of Cosmic Shear and Galaxy Survey Data

description: Constraints on cosmology from recent cosmic shear observations are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their treatment of potential systematic effects. Here we present cosmological constraints which include modelling of intrinsic alignments. We demonstrate how the results are changed for three different intrinsic alignment models, and for two different models of the cosmic shear galaxy population. We find that intrinsic alignments can either reduce or increase measurements of the fluctuation amplitude parameter sigma_8 depending on these decisions, and depending on the cosmic shear survey properties. This is due to the interplay between the two types of intrinsic alignment, II and GI. It has been shown that future surveys must make a careful treatment of intrinsic alignments to avoid significant biases, and that simultaneous constraints from shear-shear and shear-position correlation functions can mitigate the effects. For the first time we here combine constraints from cosmic shear surveys (shear-shear correlations) with those from "GI" intrinsic alignment data sets (shear-position correlations). We produce updated constraints on cosmology marginalised over two free parameters in the halo model for intrinsic alignments. We find that the additional freedom is well compensated by the additional information, in that the constraints are very similar indeed to those obtained when intrinsic alignments are ignored, both in terms of best fit values and uncertainties.

The kinetic energy of different knot and unknot types is calculated and presented for comparison. These results provide new information on relationships between geometry, topology and dynamics of complex vortex systems and help to establish possible connections between aspects of structural complexity of dynamical systems and vortical flows.

description: V893 Sco is an eclipsing dwarf nova that had attracted little attention from X-ray astronomers until it was proposed as the identification of an RXTE all-sky slew survey (XSS) source. Here we report on the pointed X-ray observations of this object using Suzaku. V893 Sco was in quiescence at the time, as indicated by the coordinated optical photometry we obtained at the South African Astronomical Observatory. Our Suzaku data show V893 Sco to be X-ray bright, with a highly absorbed spectrum. Most importantly, we have discovered a partial X-ray eclipse in V893 Sco. This is the first time that a partial eclipse is seen in X-ray light curves of a dwarf nova. Our preliminary simulations demonstrate that the partial X-ray eclipse can be in principle reproduced if the white dwarf in V893 Sco is partially eclipsed. Higher quality observations of this object have the potential to place significant constraints on the latitudinal extent of the X-ray emission region and thereby discriminating between an equatorial boundary layer and a spherical corona. The partial X-ray eclipse therefore makes V893 Sco a key object in understanding the physics of accretion in quiescent dwarf nova.

description: In the BCS theory of superconductivity, one assumes that all Cooper pairs have the same center of mass momentum. This is indeed enforced by self consistency, if the pairing interaction is momentum independent. Here, we show that for an attractive nearest neighbor interaction, this is different. In this case, stable solutions with pairs with momenta q and -q coexist and, for a sufficiently strong interaction, one of these states becomes the groundstate of the superconductor. This finite-momentum pairing state is accompanied by a charge order with wave vector 2q. For a weak pairing interaction, the groundstate is a d-wave superconductor.

description: The purpose of this thesis is the analysis of the concept of business confidentiality and its criminal protection according to the applicable provisions of both the Greek Penal Code and legislation pertaining to different branches of law. At a first level, an attempt is made to approach it conceptually, while its legal nature is also determined, distinguishing it from other concepts with related features. Then, we look back historically at the beginnings of its appearance, while before the extensive description of the Greek criminal legal framework which is specialized mainly in the provisions on unfair competition (articles 16-18 of Law 146/1914) and indirectly in the provisions of articles 370B - 370C of the Greek Penal Code (Law 4619/2019), a comparative overview of the criminal protection of business secrecy in other countries and jurisdictions is preceded. Finally, through the research and examination of the cases of its violation, which are derived from the meager Greek judicial practice and jurisprudence in this matter, a commentary on the current Greek provisions follows and legislative changes are proposed for its more effective protection.

The meaning of a word is taken to be the entities, predications, presuppositions, and potential inferences that it adds to an ongoing situation. As words compose, the minimal model in the situation evolves to limit and direct inference. At this point we have developed our computational architecture and implemented it on real text. Our focus has been on proving the feasibility of our design.

description: We compare two effective phonon theories, which have both been applied recently to study heat conduction in anharmonic lattices. In particular, we study the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model via the Debye formula, showing the equivalence of both approaches. The temperature for the minimum of the thermal conductivity and the corresponding scaling behavior are analytically calculated, which agree well with the result obtained from nonequilibrium simulations. We also give quantum corrections for the thermal conductivity from quantum self-consistent phonon theory. The vanishing behavior at the low temperature regime and the existence of an umklapp peak are qualitatively consistent with experimental studies.

Mean Motion Resonances in Extrasolar Planetary Systems with Turbulence, Interactions, and Damping

description: This paper continues previous work on the effects of turbulence on mean motion resonances in extrasolar planetary systems. Turbulence is expected to arise in the disks that form planets, and these fluctuations act to compromise resonant configurations. This paper extends previous work by considering how interactions between the planets and possible damping effects imposed by the disk affect the outcomes. These physical processes are studied using three approaches: numerical integrations of the 3-body problem with additional forcing due to turbulence, model equations that reduce the problem to stochastically driven oscillators, and Fokker-Planck equations that describe the time evolution of an ensemble of systems. With this combined approach, we elucidate the physics of how turbulence can remove extrasolar planetary systems from mean motion resonance. As expected, systems with sufficiently large damping (dissipation) can maintain resonance, in spite of turbulent forcing. In the absence of strong damping, ensembles of these systems exhibit two regimes of behavior, where the fraction of the bound states decreases as a power-law or as an exponential. Both types of behavior can be understood through the model developed herein. For systems with weak interactions between planets, the model reduces to a stochastic pendulum, and the fraction of bound states decreases as a power-law. For highly interactive systems, the dynamics are more complicated and the fraction of bound states decreases exponentially. We show how planetary interactions lead to drift terms in the Fokker-Planck equation and account for this exponential behavior. In addition to clarifying the physical processes involved, this paper strengthens the finding that turbulence implies that mean motions resonances should be rare.

description: We study how becoming a grandparent affects grandparents’ labor supply. In a simple model
of the allocation of time in which seniors care about their offspring’s welfare and also value
time spent with family children, the sign of the effect is ambiguous. Using data from the Panel
Study of Income Dynamics we find evidence that becoming a grandparent causes a reduction
of employed grandmother’s hours of work. We identify a lower bound of about 190. This
effect originates towards the bottom of the hours distribution (i.e., among women less attached
to the labor market). For employed grandfathers, the effect is also negative, originates towards
the top of the hours distribution (i.e., where overtime work is substantial), but is smaller and
more imprecisely estimated than for women. We also find that for working grandmothers the
effect is stronger the closer grandparents and grandchildren live and during the first years since
becoming a grandparent (i.e., when the grandchildren are younger). The “extensive margin” of
grandparenting (becoming a grandparent) turns out to be much more important in generating
these effects than the corresponding “intensive” margin (having additional grandchildren).

Searching for Diamagnetic Blob Accretion in the 74 day K2 Observation of V2400 Ophiuchi

description: Since its discovery in 1995, V2400 Ophiuchi (V2400 Oph) has stood apart from most known intermediate polar cataclysmic variables due to its proposed magnetic field strength (9-27 MG) and disk-less accretion. To date, the exact accretion mechanism of the system is still unknown, and standard accretion models fail to accurately predict the peculiar behavior of its lightcurve. We present the K2 Campaign~11 light curve of V2400 Oph recording 74.19 days of photometric data cadenced at 1 minute. The light curve is dominated by aperiodic flickering and quasi-periodic oscillations, which make the beat and spin signals inconspicuous on short timescales. Notably, a log-log full power spectrum shows a break frequency at $\sim10^2$ cycles~d$^{-1}$ similar to some disk-fed systems. Through power spectral analysis, the beat and spin periods are measured as $1003.4\pm0.2$ seconds and $ 927.7\pm 0.1$ seconds respectively. A power spectrum of the entire K2 observation demonstrates beat period dominance. However, time-resolved power spectra reveals a strong dependence between observation length and the dominant frequency of the light curve. For short observations (2-12 hrs) the beat, spin, or first beat harmonic can be observed as the dominant periodic signal. Such incoherence and variability indicate a dynamical accretion system more complex than current intermediate polar theories can explain. We propose that a diamagnetic blob accretion model may serve as a plausible explanation for the accretion mechanism.

description: We investigate the detection of exotic massive strongly interacting hadrons (uhecrons) in ultra high energy cosmic ray telescopes. The conclusion is that experiments such as the Pierre Auger Observatory have the potential to detect these particles. It is shown that uhecron showers have clear distinctive features when compared to proton and nuclear showers. The simulation of uhecron air showers, and its detection and reconstruction by fluorescence telescopes is described. We determine basic cuts in observables that will separate uhecrons from the cosmic ray bulk, assuming this is composed by protons. If these are composed by heavier nucleus the separation will be much improved. We also discuss photon induced showers. The complementarity between uhecron detection in accelerator experiments is discussed.

description: Στις μέρες μας το κύμα προσφύγων από εμπόλεμες περιοχές προς τις ελεύθερες χώρες, κυρίως της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, αυξάνεται ολοένα και περισσότερο. Μεγάλη μερίδα των προσφύγων είναι παιδιά πρόσφυγες, διωκόμενα και ευάλωτα στην πιο τρυφερή τους ηλικία. Οι εικόνες αυτών των παιδιών που κατακλύζουν καθημερινά τα ΜΜΕ κάνουν κάθε θεατή να αναρωτιέται τι συμβαίνει με τα δικαιώματα αυτών των παιδιών. Έχουν δικαιώματα και ποια είναι αυτά; Έτσι, τίθεται το ερώτημα ποια είναι τα δικαιώματα για τα παιδιά όλου του κόσμου. Με βάση αυτά τα ερωτήματα, γεννήθηκε η ιδέα αυτού του έργου. Στο πλαίσιο του Διατμηματικού Μεταπτυχιακού Προγράμματος «Τεχνολογίες Πληροφορικής και Επικοινωνίας: Δίκαιο και Πολιτική», σχεδιάστηκε και αναπτύχθηκε ένα σοβαρό παιχνίδι με στοιχεία επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας. Μέσα από τις περιπέτειες ενός νεαρού πρόσφυγα, το παιχνίδι προσπαθεί να φέρει τους συμμετέχοντες σε επαφή με τα δικαιώματα του παιδιού αλλά και να αναδείξει τη δυνατότητα των εκπαιδευτικών να συμβάλουν στο σχεδιασμό και την ανάπτυξη ενός πρότυπου σοβαρού παιχνιδιού, κατάλληλου για την εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία.
description: Nowadays, the wave of refugees from war-torn areas towards the free countries, mainly of the European Union, is increasing more and more. A large portion of the refugees are children refugees, persecuted and vulnerable at their most tender age. The images of these children that flood the media every day make every viewer wonder what is happening to the rights of these children. Do they have rights and what are they? Thus, the question arises as to what are the rights for the children of the whole world. Based on these questions, the idea of this work was born. In the context of the Interdepartmental Master's Program “ICT: Law and Policy”, a serious game with elements of augmented reality was designed and developed. Through the adventures of a young refugee, the game tries to bring the participants in contact with the rights of the child, but also to highlight the possibility of teachers to contribute to the design and development of a model serious game, suitable for the educational process.

description: Continued observations of the Double Pulsar, PSR J0737-3039A/B, consisting of two radio pulsars (A and B) that orbit each other with a period of 2.45hr in a mildly eccentric (e=0.088) binary system, have led to large improvements in the measurement of relativistic effects in this system. With a 16-yr data span, the results enable precision tests of theories of gravity for strongly self-gravitating bodies and also reveal new relativistic effects that have been expected but are now observed for the first time. These include effects of light propagation in strong gravitational fields which are currently not testable by any other method. We observe retardation and aberrational light-bending that allow determination of the pulsar's spin direction. In total, we have detected seven post-Keplerian (PK) parameters, more than for any other binary pulsar. For some of these effects, the measurement precision is so high that for the first time we have to take higher-order contributions into account. These include contributions of A's effective mass loss (due to spin-down) to the observed orbital period decay, a relativistic deformation of the orbit, and effects of the equation of state of super-dense matter on the observed PK parameters via relativistic spin-orbit coupling. We discuss the implications of our findings, including those for the moment of inertia of neutron stars. We present the currently most precise test of general relativity's (GR's) quadrupolar description of gravitational waves, validating GR's prediction at a level of $1.3 \times 10^{-4}$ (95% conf.). We demonstrate the utility of the Double Pulsar for tests of alternative theories by focusing on two specific examples and discuss some implications for studies of the interstellar medium and models for the formation of the Double Pulsar. Finally, we provide context to other types of related experiments and prospects for the future.

description: We investigate bouncing solutions in the framework of the non-singular gravity model of Brandenberger, Mukhanov and Sornborger. We show that a spatially flat universe filled with ordinary matter undergoing a phase of contraction reaches a stage of minimal expansion factor before bouncing in a regular way to reach the expanding phase. The expansion can be connected to the usual radiation- and matter-dominated epochs before reaching a final expanding de Sitter phase. In general relativity (GR), a bounce can only take place provided that the spatial sections are positively curved, a fact that has been shown to translate into a constraint on the characteristic duration of the bounce. In our model, on the other hand, a bounce can occur also in the absence of spatial curvature, which means that the timescale for the bounce can be made arbitrarily short or long. The implication is that constraints on the bounce characteristic time obtained in GR rely heavily on the assumed theory of gravity. Although the model we investigate is fourth order in the derivatives of the metric (and therefore unstable vis-a-vis the perturbations), this generic bounce dynamics should extend to string-motivated non singular models which can accommodate a spatially flat bounce.

description: We present the first multi-wavelength simultaneous detection of QPP in a superflare (more than a thousand times stronger than known solar flares) on a cool star, in soft X-rays (SXR, with XMM-Newton) and white light (WL, with Kepler). It allowed for the first-ever analysis of oscillatory processes in a stellar flare simultaneously in thermal and non-thermal emissions, conventionally considered to come from the corona and chromosphere of the star, respectively. The observed QPP have periods $1.5 \pm 0.15$ hours (SXR) and $3 \pm 0.6$ hours (WL), and correlate well with each other. The unique relationship between the observed parameters of QPP in SXR and WL allowed us to link them with oscillations of the electric current in the flare loop, which directly affect the dynamics of non-thermal electrons and indirectly (via Ohmic heating) the thermal plasma. These findings could be considered in favour of the equivalent LCR-contour model of a flare loop, at least in the extreme conditions of a stellar superflare.
