description: We introduce a stochastic heterogeneous interacting-agent model for the short-time non-equilibrium evolution of excess demand and price in a stylized asset market. We consider a combination of social interaction within peer groups and individually heterogeneous fundamentalist trading decisions which take into account the market price and the perceived fundamental value of the asset. The resulting excess demand is coupled to the market price. Rigorous analysis reveals that this feedback may lead to price oscillations, a single bounce, or monotonic price behaviour. The model is a rare example of an analytically tractable interacting-agent model which allows us to deduce in detail the origin of these different collective patterns. For a natural choice of initial distribution the results are independent of the graph structure that models the peer network of agents whose decisions influence each other.

description: Non-linear behavior in interstellar chemical models has been recognized for 25 years now. Different mechanisms account for the possibility of multiple fixed-points at steady state, characterized by the ionization degree of the gas. Chemical oscillations are also a natural behaviour of non-linear chemical models. We study under which conditions spontaneous sustained chemical oscillations are possible, and what kind of biffurcations lead to, or quench, the occurrence of such oscillations. Methods. The well known Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) integrator VODE is used to explore initial conditions and parameter space in a gas phase chemical model of a dark interstellar cloud. We recall that the time evolution of the various chemical abundances under fixed temperature conditions depends on the density over cosmic ionization rate nH/ζ ratio. We also report the occurrence of naturally sustained oscillations for a limited but well defined range of control parameters. The period of oscillations is within the range of characteristic time scales of interstellar processes and could lead to spectacular resonances in time dependent models. Reservoir species (C, CO, NH3, ...) oscillation amplitudes are generally less than a factor two. However, these amplitudes reach a factor ten to thousand for low abundance species, e.g. HCN, ND3, that may play a key role for diagnostic purposes.The mechanism responsible for oscillations is tightly linked to the chemistry of nitrogen, and requires long chains of reactions such as found in multi-deuteration processes.

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 660

description: Zeolites are hydrated alumino-silicates. They crystallize in framework structures. Zeolites are used in the catalysis, adsorption, drying and separation technologies. Glass-ceramics are polycrystalline solid materials. They also have interesting properties. A new field of application can be opened by combination of the properties of zeolites and glass-ceramics. For example, material surfaces can be functionalized (membranes, foams) or special geometries for catalysis can be stabilized. The goal of the work was to design glassceramics with zeolite(s) as crystal phase(s). The glasses with zeolite compositions were melted from raw materials with partial substitution of NaF for Na2CO3. Samples of the glasses were crystallized at various temperatures. The zeolitic phase Na6[AlSiO4]6 was precipitated in K 1 1/2 samples at all temperatures. Na6[AlSiO4]6 is a zeolite of the sodalite type. The obtained zeolite does not correspond to the synthesis compositions of the glasses. It is remarkable that the zeolite itself is OH- and/or F- -free, although the presence of these anions is necessary for the zeolite formation.

description: For the manufacturing and application of glass products, knowledge about residual stresses inside the glass plays an important role.With the scattered light method stresses can be measured with high spatial resolution at each point of a glass specimen regardless of its dimensions and without destroying the glass. It enables measurement of the whole stress profile in a specimen and measurement of stresses near edges and holes or investigation of the influence of temperature treatment on a stress profile. Thermal stresses as well as mechanically induced stresses can be measured in glass plates and also in tubular glass products.

description: The influence of cobalt and nickel on the formation of irradiation-induced defects was studied in fluoride, phosphate, silicate and borosilicate glasses. Sample plates of high-purity glasses, undoped and doped with 0.3 mol% CoO and NiO, respectively, were irradiated with UV lamps and with X-rays. The subsequent defect centers, formed at ppm levels, were characterized by EPR and optical UV-VIS spectroscopy. X-ray irradiation caused stronger solarization (excitation of inner electrons) than UV lamp irradiation (selective excitation of valence electrons). More defects were formed in doped than in undoped glasses, generally stronger for Co2+ - than for Ni2+ -doped glasses and especially strong in glasses of high optical basicity where Co2+ and Ni2+ were tetrahedrally coordinated. Co2+ was photooxidized to (Co2+)+ in all glasses, replacing some of the intrinsic hole centers (HC), with (Co2+)+ in tetrahedral coordination: charge transfer band < 400 nm, and (Co2+)+ in octahedral coordination: two bands between 300 and 450 nm. Ni2+ was photooxidized in the (boro-)silicate glasses, which all had a higher basicity, but was photoreduced in the fluoride-phosphate glasses of low basicity. Photoreduced (Ni2+)- was found in the phosphate glass of medium basicity only after X-ray irradiation. The photoionized nickel species also displayed distinct EPR signals, with (Ni2+)+: several bands from 700 to 200 nm, g=2.10; and (Ni2+)-: 330 nm, g1=2.08 and g2=2.26.

description: Boron and lithium are two elements commonly found in the chemical composition of ceramic frits. They are usually determined by volumetric titration and atomic absorption spectrometry, respectively, after melting the ceramic frit by high-temperature alkaline fusion and dissolving the melt in acid medium. This dissolution procedure is long and tedious, and does not enable determining both elements simultaneously. An alternative ceramic frit dissolution procedure based on microwave-assisted digestion in acid medium has been proposed, which allows jointly determining boron and lithium by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry. This procedure is rapid and reproducible, and the results are independent of frit chemical composition.

description: The feasibility and features of the production of foamed glass-ceramic materials based on oil shale ash were investigated. The optimal regime of synthesis found involved the following steps: glass fusion at 1400 °C, preparation of the glass powders and blending with the foaming agent. The foaming was carried out at 900 to 920 °C with a further one-stage crystallization at 790 to 820 °C. It was noted that the admixture of calcium carbonate, as a foaming agent, changed the phase composition of the resulting glass-ceramics by an increased rate of the crystallization process and the intensive formation of gehlenite simultaneously with diopside.
The effect of circumstellar matter on the double-peaked type Ic supernovae and implications for LSQ14efd, iPTF15dtg and SN 2020bvc

description: Double peaked light curves are observed for some Type Ic supernovae (SNe Ic) including LSQ14efd, iPTF15dtg and SN 2020bvc. One possible explanation of the first peak would be shock-cooling emission from massive extended material around the progenitor, which is produced by mass eruption or rapid expansion of the outermost layers of the progenitor shortly before the supernova explosion. We investigate the effects of such circumstellar matter (CSM) on the multi-band optical light curves of SNe Ic using the radiation hydrodynamics code STELLA. Two different SNe Ic progenitor masses at the pre-SN stage (3.93$M_\odot$ and 8.26$M_\odot$) are considered in the SN models. The adopted parameter space consists of the CSM mass of $M_\mathrm{CSM} = 0.05 - 0.3 M_\odot$, the CSM radius of $R_\mathrm{CSM} = 10^{13} - 10^{15}$cm and the explosion energy of $E_\mathrm{burst} = (1.0 - 12.0)\times10^{51}$erg. We also investigate the effects of the radioactive nickel distribution on the overall shape of the light curve and the color evolution. Comparison of our SN models with the double peaked SNe Ic LSQ14efd, iPTF15dtg and SN 2020bvc indicate that these three SNe Ic had a similar CSM structure (i.e., $M_\mathrm{CSM} \approx 0.1 - 0.2 M_\odot$ and $R_\mathrm{CSM} = 10^{13} - 10^{14}~\mathrm{cm}$), which might imply a common mechanism for the CSM formation. The implied mass loss rate of $\dot{M} \gtrsim 1.0~M_\odot~\mathrm{yr^{-1}}$ is too high to be explained by the previously suggested scenarios for pre-SN eruption, which calls for a novel mechanism.
Flexible elastomers in Newtonian fluids with harmonic flows: A statistical-mechanical approach

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: This presentation (and the supporting article) explores the steady-state shape of a flexible elastomer filament suspended in a Newtonian fluid with the harmonic flow; a kind of flow that has been developed from the theoretical simplification of the Navier-Stokes equations. The local variation of the pressure in such a fluid has been computed from the Hamiltonian containing the interactions arising from the viscosity terms of the simplified Navier-Stokes equations. Analytical results for the steady-state shape of a filament have been derived and visualized and correlated with the flow schemes and the pressure fields.

description: Using diagrammatic methods, we show how the Ward identity can be used to constrain the ladder kernel in transport coefficient calculations. More specifically, we use the Ward identity to determine the necessary diagrams that must be resummed using an integral equation. One of our main results is an equation relating the kernel of the integral equation with functional derivatives of the full self-energy; it is similar to what is obtained with 2PI effective action methods. However, since we use the Ward identity as our starting point, gauge invariance is preserved. Using power counting arguments, we also show which self-energies must be included in the resummation at leading order, including 2 to 2 scatterings and 1 to 2 collinear scatterings with the LPM effect. We show that our quantum field theory result is equivalent to the one of Arnold, Moore and Yaffe obtained using effective kinetic theory. In this paper we restrict our discussion to electrical conductivity in hot QED, but our method can in principle be generalized to other transport coefficients and other theories.

Η χερσόνησος της Κασσάνδρας με το φυσικό της πλούτο και τη νευραλγική της θέση από πολύ νωρίς αποτέλεσε ένα θελκτικό προορισμό για τους κατοίκους της νοτίου Ελλάδος. Αποτέλεσμα ήταν να ιδρυθούν οκτώ αποικίες σε κοντινή απόσταση η μία με την άλλη (Ποτίδαια, Άφυτη, Νεάπολη, Αιγή, Θέραμβος, Σκιώνη, Μένδη, Σάνη). Οι πρώτες εγκαταστάσεις εμφανίζονται στα τέλη του 12ου αι. π.Χ. με αρχές του 11ου αι. π.Χ., ενώ τον 8ο και 7ο αι. π.Χ. με το νέο κύμα αποικισμού σημειώνεται αύξηση των θέσεων. Οι πόλεις μπορεί να μην εξελίχθηκαν σε μεγάλα κέντρα, γνώρισαν, όμως, μια περίοδο ακμής και οικονομικής άνθισης. Είχαν τη δυνατότητα να κόψουν δικό τους νόμισμα και να ιδρύσουν αποικίες. Παράλληλα, φαίνεται ότι διατηρούσαν δεσμούς με τις μητροπόλεις τους (Εύβοια, Αττική, Κόρινθος), ενώ ανέπτυξαν σχέσεις και με άλλες περιοχές (Ιωνία, Αιολίδα).
description: The subject of work is the historical and topographical study of colonies, that were founded in the peninsula of Kassandras from the season of their foundation until the roman years using the information of ancient sources with the excavation's data. The peninsula of Kassandras with her natural wealth and her strategic place from very early constituted a charming destination for the southern Greeks. As result was the foundation of eight colonies in short distance (Potidea, Aphytis, Neapolis, Aigi, Therambos, Skioni, Mendi, Sani). The first installations were created at the end of the 12th century BC or at the beginning of the 11th century BC, while during the 8th and 7th century BC, when the second fase of colonization occurred, new sites were founded. The cities inspite of the fact that experienced a period of great economic prosperity, didn't manage to develop into great economic centres. They had the possibility of cutting their own currency and founding colonies. They had connections with theirs mitropolis (Euboea, Attica, Corinth) and at the same time they developed relations with other regions (Ionia, Aiolis).

description: Η παρούσα εργασία καταγίνεται με την παρουσίαση της πολιτικής σκέψης του Πλάτωνα, όπως αυτή ξετυλίγεται στην "Πολιτεία" και τον "Πολιτικό" του. Στην "Πολιτεία" ο Πλάτων δημιουργεί την Καλλίπολιν, όπου οι πολίτες διάγουν εν ευδαιμονία, βιώνοντας την υπέρτατη απόλαυση από τον ενάρετο βίο υπό την κυβέρνηση των φυλάκων. Η σύνδεση γνώσης-εξουσιαστικού καθιστά βασιλιά τον φιλόσοφο, ο οποίος κατέχει την ύψιστη γνώση του αγαθού. Η ανάδειξη αυτού του ιδανικού πολιτικού εναπόκειται στη δημιουργία του σωστού εκπαιδευτικού προγράμματος. Βάσει της τριμερούς διάταξης της ψυχής, ο Πλάτων χωρίζει τους πολίτες σε φύλακες, επίκουρους και δημιουργούς. Η αρμονική συνύπαρξη των μερών, υπό την υγεσία των φυλάκων, και η αποφυγή κάθε αλλαγήςαποτελεί απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση για τη διατήρηση της ευδαιμονίας. Ενδεχόμενη παρέκκλιση από το ιδεατό οδηγεί στην πτώση και τη φθορά. Η μετάβαση στον κόσμο του πραγματικού και τις ατελείς συνθήκες που επικρατούν σ' αυτόν τοποθετούν εκ νέου τη διερεύνηση του εξουσιαστικού. Αυτό συμβαίνει στον "Πολιτικό" όπου ο Πλάτων, ενώ ουσιαστικά συνεχίζει να θεωρεί ως ιδανικό πολιτικό αυτόν που κατέχει την υπέρτατη γνώση, το βασιλικό ανήρ, η αδυναμία ύπαρξης του οδηγεί στο δεύτερο πλου, την επικράτηση του νόμου.
description: The present project deals with the presentation of Plato's political thought, as it unfolds in the 'Republic' and the 'Politicus'. In the 'Republic' Plato creates Callipolis, where Guardians govern. As a result, citizens revel in hapiness. The connection of knowledge and domination settles the philosopher as a king because he has the utmost knowledge of the good. The creation of ideal politic depends on the right education. On the basis of the threefolder division of the soul, Plato divides citizens in the full Guardians, the auxiliaries and the third class. These different parts must live in harmony and try to avoid any kind of change in order to maintain happiness and have the ideal constitution. Any deviation of the ideal would cause decline. The transition of the ideal state to the real world and the imperfect conditions changes plato's political investigation to a certain degree. This is what happens in 'Politicus'. Plato keeps on believing that the ideal Statesman is the one who has th utmost knowledge but in the light of this absence, the best policy is the adherence to law, which is proposed as the 'second sail'.

description: The performance of solution-processed organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) is often limited by non-uniform contacts. In this work, we introduce Ni-containing solution-processed metal oxide (MO) interfacial layers inserted between indium tin oxide (ITO) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to improve the bottom electrode contact for OLEDs using the poly(p-phenylene vinylene) (PPV) derivative Super-Yellow (SY) as an emission layer. For ITO/Ni-containing MO/PEDOT:PSS bottom electrode structures we show enhanced wetting properties that result in an improved OLED device efficiency. Best performance is achieved using a Cu-Li co-doped spinel nickel cobaltite [(Cu-Li):NiCo2O4], for which the current efficiency and luminous efficacy of SY OLEDs increased, respectively, by 12% and 11% from the values obtained for standard devices without a Ni-containing MO interface modification between ITO and PEDOT:PSS. The enhanced performance was attributed to the improved morphology of PEDOT:PSS, which consequently increased the hole injection capability of the optimized ITO/(Cu-Li):NiCo2O4/PEDOT:PSS electrode.

description: Transparent glasses based on a stoichiometric boron-containing sodium fluorphlogopite composition, NaMg2.5(B, Si)4O10F2, were prepared. Additions of boron in glasses lower the melting temperature and strongly affect the nucleation and crystallization temperatures. The crystallization process was studied by means of DTA, XRD, and SEM. Thermal treatment of glasses at 800 °C for 5 or 20 h did not show any crystallization of sodium fluorphlogopite, whereas at 500 °C/2 h and 750 °C/2 h crystallization of sodium fluorphlogopite took place. However, magnesium fluorrichterite, fluoborite, suanite and small amounts of enstatite were detected in the crystallized glasses. Increase of crystal growth rate was observed in the microstructure with the increase of boron oxide in the glass-ceramic samples. The incorporation of boron oxide changed the infrared spectra of the parent glasses and the corresponding glass-ceramics and bands referred to triangular (BO3) and tetrahedral (BO4) groups were observed. However, crystallization of the sodium fluorphlogopite led to intensification of the bands related to BO4, which means that boron was substituted for silicon in the sodium fluorphlogopite structure. In the case of the samples with the highest boron oxide content or borate-rich phases, i.e. suanite and fluoborite phases, the BO3 group was the dominant one.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία το θέμα που αναπτύχθηκε ήταν η άποψη του Αριστοτέλη σχετικά με το θέμα της δουλείας και της γυναίκας. Το θέμα αυτό είναι δύσκολο, οι ερμηνείες είναι σίγουρα πολλές και σ' αυτό συμβάλλουν και οι αντιφάσεις που ο ίδιος ο φιλόσοφος υποπέπτει. Αυτό έχει να κάνει με τη φύση του ανθρώπου που δεν είναι δυνατό κάποιος να είναι απόλυτος με αυτή. Ο Αριστοτέλης πιστεύει πως οι άνθρωποι διαχωρίζονται σε αυτούς που έχουν το ψυχικό σθένος και τη λογική και από την άλλη οι φύσει δούλοι που χρειάζονται καθοδήγηση. Τις γυναίκες ο Αριστοτέλης δεν τις ταυτίζει με τους δούλους αλλά τους δίνει ένα δευτερεύοντα και αυστηρά οικιακό ρόλο.
description: Slavery and the position of women according to Aristotle and presented in this research. The topic is complex, the interpretations definitely varied and that implies contradiction as well that even the philosopher himself falls into, since human nature itself varies. Aristotle believes that human beings are divided into those who have mental power and logic, and to people who are "natural" slaves and need guidance. As for women Aristotle does not present them as equal to slaves, however they are not presented having a primarily role but a strictly domestic role.

description: The large-$x$ behavior of the transverse-momentum dependent quark distributions is analyzed in the factorization-inspired perturbative QCD framework, particularly for the naive time-reversal-odd quark Sivers function which is responsible for the single transverse-spin asymmetries in various semi-inclusive hard processes. By examining the dominant hard gluon exchange Feynman diagrams, and using the resulting power counting rule, we find that the Sivers function has power behavior $(1-x)^4$ at $x \to 1$, which is one power of $(1-x)$ suppressed relative to the unpolarized quark distribution. These power-counting results provide important guidelines for the parameterization of quark distributions and quark-gluon correlations.

description: Today, the majority of the cosmic baryons in the Universe are not observed directly, leading to an issue of "missing baryons" at low redshift. Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations have indicated that a significant portion of them will be converted into the so-called Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM), with gas temperature ranging between 10$^5$-10$^7$K. While the cooler phase of this gas has been observed using O VI and Ne VIII absorbers at UV wavelengths, the hotter fraction detection relies mostly on observations of O VII and O VIII at X-ray wavelengths. Here, we target the forbidden line of [Fe XXI] $λ$ 1354$\unicode{x212B}$ which traces 10$^7$K gas at UV wavelengths, using more than one hundred high-spectral resolution (R$\sim$49,000) and high signal to noise VLT/UVES quasar spectra, corresponding to over 600 hrs of VLT time observations. A stack of these at the position of known DLAs lead to a 5-$σ$ limit of $\mathrm{log[N([Fe\,XXI])]

Confirming the role of nuclear tunnelling in aqueous ferrous-ferric electron transfer

description: We revisit the well-known aqueous ferrous-ferric electron transfer reaction in order to address recent suggestions that nuclear tunnelling can lead to significant deviation from the linear response assumption inherent in the Marcus picture of electron transfer. A recent study of this reaction by Richardson and coworkers has found a large difference between their new path-integral method, GR-QTST, and the saddle point approximation of Wolynes (Wolynes theory). They suggested that this difference could be attributed to the existence of multiple tunnelling pathways, leading Wolynes theory to significantly overestimate the rate. This was used to argue that the linear response assumptions of Marcus theory may break down for liquid systems when tunnelling is important. If true, this would imply that the commonly used method for studying such systems, where the problem is mapped onto a spin-boson model, is invalid. However, we have recently shown that size inconsistency in GR-QTST can lead to poor predictions of the rate in systems with many degrees of freedom. We have also suggested an improved method, the path-integral linear golden-rule (LGR) approximation, which fixes this problem. Here we demonstrate that the GR-QTST results for ferrous-ferric electron transfer are indeed dominated by its size consistency error. Furthermore, by comparing the LGR and Wolynes theory results, we confirm the established picture of nuclear tunnelling in this system. Finally, by comparing our path-integral results to those obtained by mapping onto the spin-boson model, we reassess the importance of anharmonic effects and the accuracy of this commonly used mapping approach.

description: Common and low-cost natural sedimentary raw materials such as ball clay, dolomite, quartz sand and diatomite were used as the main constituents for the production of glasses and glass-ceramics of the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2. The crystallization of the glassy batch was promoted by the addition of a nucleation agent (TiO2). The crystallization sequence was examined by DTA, XRD, SEM, and thermal expansion analyses. Wollastonite and diopside are the main phases detected and the amount and grain size/shape of crystals were found to be strongly dependent on titania additions and on the annealing conditions. The characterization of relevant functional parameters of glass and glass-ceramic samples revealed interesting results.

description: Several studies have proposed that the shape of the Universe may be a Poincare dodecahedral space (PDS) rather than an infinite, simply connected, flat space. Both models assume a close to flat FLRW metric of about 30% matter density. We study two predictions of the PDS model. (i) For the correct model, the spatial two-point cross-correlation function, $\ximc$, of temperature fluctuations in the covering space, where the two points in any pair are on different copies of the surface of last scattering (SLS), should be of a similar order of magnitude to the auto-correlation function, $\xisc$, on a single copy of the SLS. (ii) The optimal orientation and identified circle radius for a "generalised" PDS model of arbitrary twist $ϕ$, found by maximising $\ximc$ relative to $\xisc$ in the WMAP maps, should yield $ϕ\in \{\pm 36°\}$. We optimise the cross-correlation at scales < 4.0 h^-1 Gpc using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method over orientation, circle size and $ϕ$. Both predictions were satisfied: (i) an optimal "generalised" PDS solution was found, with a strong cross-correlation between points which would be distant and only weakly correlated according to the simply connected hypothesis, for two different foreground-reduced versions of the WMAP 3-year all-sky map, both with and without the kp2 Galaxy mask: the face centres are $(l,b)_{i=1,6}\approx (184d, 62d), (305d, 44d), (46d, 49d), (117d, 20d), (176d, -4d), (240d, 13d) to within ~2d, and their antipodes; (ii) this solution has twist ϕ= (+39 \pm 2.5)d, in agreement with the PDS model. The chance of this occurring in the simply connected model, assuming a uniform distribution $ϕ\in [0,2π]$, is about 6-9%.
