description: A model-independent experimental signature for flavor oscillations in the neutrino signal from the next Galactic supernova (SN) would be the observation of Earth matter effects. We calculate the probability for observing a Galactic SN shadowed by the Earth as a function of the detector's geographic latitude. This probability depends only mildly on details of the Galactic SN distribution. A location at the North Pole would be optimal with a shadowing probability of about 60%, but a far-northern location such as Pyhasalmi in Finland, the proposed site for a large-volume scintillator detector, is almost equivalent (58%). We also consider several pairs of detector locations and calculate the probability that only one of them is shadowed, allowing a comparison between a shadowed and a direct signal. For the South Pole combined with Kamioka this probability is almost 75%, for the South Pole combined with Pyhasalmi it is almost 90%. One particular scenario consists of a large-volume scintillator detector located in Pyhasalmi to measure the geo-neutrino flux in a continental location and another such detector in Hawaii to measure it in an oceanic location. The probability that only one of them is shadowed exceeds 50% whereas the probability that at least one is shadowed is about 80%. We provide an online tool to calculate different shadowing probabilities for the one- and two-detector cases.

description: An increasing number of papers have appeared in recent years on decoherence in quantum gravity at the Planck energy. We discuss the meaning of decoherence in quantum gravity starting from the common notion that quantum gravity is a theory for the microscopic structures of spacetime, and invoking some generic features of quantum decoherence from the open systems viewpoint. We dwell on a range of issues bearing on this process including the relation between statistical and quantum, noise from effective field theory, the meaning of stochasticity, the origin of non-unitarity and the nature of nonlocality in this and related contexts. To expound these issues we critique on two representative theories: One claims that decoherence in quantum gravity scale leads to the violation of CPT symmetry at sub-Planckian energy which is used to explain today's particle phenomenology. The other uses this process in place with the Brownian motion model to prove that spacetime foam behaves like a thermal bath.

Nucleon superfluidity versus thermal states of isolated and transiently accreting neutron stars

description: The properties of superdense matter in neutron star (NS) cores control NS thermal states by affecting the efficiency of neutrino emission from NS interiors. To probe these properties we confront the theory of thermal evolution of NSs with observations of their thermal radiation. Our observational basis includes cooling isolated NSs (INSs) and NSs in quiescent states of soft X-ray transients (SXTs). We find that the data on SXTs support the conclusions obtained from the analysis of INSs: strong proton superfluidity with T_{cp,max} >= 10^9 K should be present, while mild neutron superfluidity with T_{cn,max} =(2*10^8 -- 2*10^9) K is ruled out in the outer NS core. Here T_{cn,max} and T_{cp,max} are the maximum values of the density dependent critical temperatures of neutrons and protons. The data on SXTs suggest also that: (i) cooling of massive NSs is enhanced by neutrino emission more powerful than the emission due to Cooper pairing of neutrons; (ii) mild neutron superfluidity, if available, might be present only in inner cores of massive NSs. In the latter case SXTs would exhibit dichotomy, i.e. very similar SXTs may evolve to very different thermal states.

description: Sulfur, present in the environment in the form of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, can produce failure in electronics. In particular, copper, which is used extensively in electronic products, is subject to corrosion in the presence of sulfur. This thesis examines the corrosion of copper under the Flowers of Sulfur (FoS) test at varying temperatures and durations. The FoS test setup, described in ASTM B809, was initially designed to evaluate surface finish porosity, but this setup may have boarder application. To expand the applicability of the FoS test, it is important to characterize the test environment. To this end, a systematic study of copper corrosion was conducted through weight gain measurements of copper coupons that were subjected to FoS test environments. From the test results, a model was developed that correlates copper sulfide thickness to temperature and time under the FoS test. This model can be used to determine test conditions given a target field environment.
Link between the chromospheric network and magnetic structures of the corona

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent work suggested that the traditional picture of the corona above the quiet Sun being rooted in the magnetic concentrations of the chromospheric network alone is strongly questionable. Building on that previous study we explore the impact of magnetic configurations in the photosphere and the low corona on the magnetic connectivity from the network to the corona. Observational studies of this connectivity are often utilizing magnetic field extrapolations. However, it is open to which extent such extrapolations really represent the connectivity found on the Sun, as observations are not able to resolve all fine scale magnetic structures. The present numerical experiments aim at contributing to this question. We investigated random salt-and-pepper-type distributions of kilo-Gauss internetwork flux elements carrying some $10^{15}$ to $10^{17}$ Mx, which are hardly distinguishable by current observational techniques. These photospheric distributions are then extrapolated into the corona using different sets of boundary conditions at the bottom and the top. This allows us to investigate the fraction of network flux which is connected to the corona, as well as the locations of those coronal regions which are connected to the network patches. We find that with current instrumentation one cannot really determine from observations, which regions on the quiet Sun surface, i.e. in the network and internetwork, are connected to which parts of the corona through extrapolation techniques. Future spectro-polarimetric instruments, such as with Solar B or GREGOR, will provide a higher sensitivity, and studies like the present one could help to estimate to which extent one can then pinpoint the connection from the chromosphere to the corona.

description: We investigate the dynamics of an initially disentangled Gaussian state on a general finite symmetric graph. As concrete examples we obtain properties of this dynamics on mean field graphs of arbitrary sizes. In the same way that chains can be used for transmitting entanglement by their natural dynamics, these graphs can be used to store entanglement. We also consider two kinds of regular polyhedron which show interesting features of entanglement sharing.

description: The influence of dark matter inhomogeneities on the angular size-redshift test is investigated for a large class of flat cosmological models driven by dark energy plus a cold dark matter component (XCDM model). The results are presented in two steps. First, the mass inhomogeneities are modeled by a generalized Zeldovich-Kantowski-Dyer-Roeder (ZKDR) distance which is characterized by a smoothness parameter $α(z)$ and a power index $γ$, and, second, we provide a statistical analysis to angular size data for a large sample of milliarcsecond compact radio sources. As a general result, we have found that the $α$ parameter is totally unconstrained by this sample of angular diameter data.

MUSIC, TRANCE, AND TRANSMISSION IN THE SANTO DAIME, A BRAZILIAN AYAHUASCA RELIGION.

description: This thesis illuminates the core values within Santo Daime communities and how these are transmitted and practiced during rituals. Santo Daime, a Brazilian Ayahuasca Religion originating in the western Amazon state of Acre, is practiced both inside and outside its urban Amazonian roots, including most Brazilian states and smaller communities in a handful of Western countries, such as the United States, Mexico, and the Netherlands. Adepts of the Santo Daime combine the sacramental use of Ayahuasca (a psychotropic tea with a long history of use in the Amazonian basin), collective shamanism, and music performance practices (singing, dancing, and playing instruments) to achieve a state of religious ecstasy. Using a multi-disciplinary approach with emphasis on ethnography, an expansion of Judith Becker's categorization of trance, and musical and phonological analysis I argue that the doctrine of the Santo Daime and the transmission of these teachings through music are inseparable elements of producing and navigating the altered states of consciousness collectively experienced in Santo Daime rituals.

description: We outline a remarkably efficient method for generating solutions to quantum anharmonic oscillators with an x^{2M} potential. We solve the Schroedinger equation in terms of a free parameter which is then tuned to give the correct boundary condition by generating a power series expansion of the wavefunction in x and applying a modified Borel resummation technique to obtain the large x behaviour. The process allows us to calculate energy eigenvalues to an arbitrary level of accuracy. High degrees of precision are achieved even with modest computing power. Our technique extends to all levels of excitation and produces the correct solution to the double well oscillators even though they are dominated by non-perturbative effects.

Es soll darum gehen, ein Zukunftsbild der Entwicklung von Drittmittelprojekten zu zeichnen, aus dem sich Rückschlüsse für aktuelle Handlungsfelder ableiten lassen. Dahinter steht die Überzeugung, dass der Bereich der Drittmittelförderung an Bedeutung gewinnen wird und neben Herausforderungen vor allem Chancen zur Profilierung der Bibliotheken beinhaltet. Folgende Fragen werden daher in den Blick genommen: Welchen Mehrwert haben Projekte? Wie können Projekte als Experimentierfelder für neue Themen der bibliothekarischen Arbeit genutzt werden? Welche Bereiche bieten sich inhaltlich an? Und welche Qualifikationen und Kenntnisse sind erforderlich, um Projekte zu beantragen und zum Erfolg zu führen?

description: We develop a model for the $pp \to π^+ d$ reaction based on the $pp \to Δ(1232) N$ transition followed by $Δ(1232) \to πN'$ decay and posterior fusion of $N N'$ to give the deuteron. We show that the triangle diagram depicting this process develops a triangle singularity leading to a large cross section of this reaction compared to ordinary fusion reactions. The results of the calculation also show that the process is largely dominated by the $pp$ system in $L=2, S=0$, which transfers $J=2$ to the final $π^+ d$ system. This feature is shown to be well suited to provide $L=2,S=1$, $J^\mathrm{tot}=3$ for $np$ in the $np(I=0) \to π^- pp$ followed by $pp \to π^+ d$ reaction, which has been proposed recently, as a means of describing the so far assumed dibaryon $d^*(2380)$ peak.

description: Viele Öffentliche Bibliotheken in der westlichen Welt wandeln sich von klassischen bestandsorientierten Institutionen zu Modellen, die ein breiteres Spektrum an Dienstleistungen bieten als bloße Zugriffe auf Informationen. Die öffentliche Diskussion in Dänemark zeigt, dass Öffentliche Bibliotheken allmählich ihre allgemein anerkannte Identität verlieren. Zwanzig Jahre nach dem Durchbruch des Internets wird immer noch nach neuen Modellen für den öffentlichen Bibliotheksdienst gesucht. Dabei offenbart die Vielfalt der Bibliotheksangebote eine Ungewissheit darüber, was die Kerndienstleistung der Bibliothek geworden ist oder sein sollte. Dieser Beitrag zeigt verschiedene Beispiele, die hauptsächlich aus den nordischen Ländern stammen, und diskutiert Szenarien und Konzepte für Öffentliche Bibliotheken im digitalen Zeitalter: die klassische Bibliothek zur Lese- und Literaturförderung, die Online-Bibliothek und die Bibliothek als multikulturelles Zentrum.

description: Η παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή εργασία με τίτλο Σουφισμός στα Βαλκάνια. Η περίπτωση των Ριφαΐ του Κοσόβου έχει έναν διττό σκοπό. Αφενός μεν εντοπίζει τις σύγχρονες πρακτικές του σουφισμού στα Βαλκάνια και συγκεκριμένα της tariqa Rifā῾iyya στην περιοχή του Κοσσυφοπεδίου, παρατηρώντας την τελετή για τον εορτασμό των γενεθλίων του Αλί και την έλευση της άνοιξης, ‘darb al-shish’, αφετέρου δε ψηλαφεί την πορεία των σουφικών tariqas/turuq (αδελφοτήτων). Η εργασία αναπτύσσεται σε δύο σκέλη. Το πρώτο, με ιστορική καταγραφή και θρησκειολογική ανάλυση, παρουσιάζει την εμφάνιση του σουφισμού και προσπαθεί να απαντήσει σε ερωτήματα, όπως, τι είναι ο ισλαμικός μυστικισμός, ποια είναι η σημασία του όρου σουφισμός και ποια τα χαρακτηριστικά και οι μορφές του. Η έρευνα επιχειρεί να εξετάσει το ιστορικό πλαίσιο της παρουσίας του Ισλάμ και του σουφισμού συγκεκριμένα στα Βαλκάνια, και τον ποικιλόμορφο εν εξελίξει ιστορικό, κοινωνικο-πολιτικό και θρησκευτικό του χαρακτήρα. Το δεύτερο σκέλος, με εθνογραφική έρευνα και εστιασμένη καταγραφή, στοχεύει στην παρουσίαση και περιγραφή της τελετής ‘darb al-shish’ της tariqa Rifā῾iyya στην περιοχή του Prizren, συνεισφέροντας με αυτό τον τρόπο στον εμπλουτισμό του εθνογραφικού υλικού
description: This Master thesis entitled “Sufism in the Balkans. The case of tariqa Rifā῾iyya in Kosovo” serves a dual purpose. On the one hand the thesis identifies the modern practices of Sufism in the Balkans, and in particular the tariqa Rifāiyya in the Kosovo region, observing the celebration ceremony of Ali's birthday and the arrival of spring, the so-called ‘darb al-shish’, while on the other hand it examines the presence and progress of tariqa / turuq (brotherhoods). The project is developed in two strands. The first section presents the appearance of Sufism using historical and religious analysis, and attempts to answer questions concerning the nature of Islamic mysticism, the meaning of the term ‘Sufism’ and the latter’s features and forms. The research attempts to examine the historical context of the presence of Islam and in particular Sufism in the Balkans, and its diverse historical background, as well as its socio-political and religious character. The second part, with ethnographic research and focused recording, aims at presenting and describing the darb al-shish ceremony of tariqa Rifā῾iyya in the Prizren region, thereby contributing to the enrichment of the ethnographic material

Το σίγουρο είναι ότι πρόκειται για μια κρίση η οποία είναι επίκαιρη και τα αποτελέσματά της είναι ακόμα εμφανή. Για τον λόγο αυτό, οι προσπάθειες για την αντιμετώπισή της μέσω άσκησης νομισματικών πολιτικών βρίσκονται ακόμα στο προσκήνιο και θα συνεχίσουν να βρίσκονται μέχρι την παγκόσμια ανάκαμψη και την διατήρηση αυτής. Ξεκινώντας, λοιπόν, με το παγκόσμιο ιστορικό πλαίσιο της κρίσης και των συνθηκών και παραγόντων που οδήγησαν σε αυτήν, η εργασία συνεχίζει με την ανάδειξη των νομισματικών πολιτικών που ασκούνταν κατά την περίοδο πριν την κρίση αλλά και την κατάσταση μεγάλων χρηματοπιστωτικών ιδρυμάτων, όπως και των νομισματικών πολιτικών που ασκήθηκαν μετά από αυτήν και ποια όργανα έλαβαν μέρος.

description: This postgraduate thesis copes with the monetary policies that have taken place at a global level before and after the 2008 crisis, which has plagued many countries and economies, as well as their effects. What is certain, is that it is a crisis that is on top of the news and its effects are still evident. For this reason, efforts to tackle it through monetary policies are still in the forefront and will continue to be in the midst of global recovery and retention. Starting with the global historical context of the crisis and the conditions and factors that led to it, the thesis continues with the emergence of monetary policies in the pre-crisis period, the situation of large financial institutions as well as the monetary policies pursued after it and which institutions took part. Finally, there are some thoughts as far as the crisis is concerned, as well as how the ECB coped with it and the monetary policies that took place

description: The metadata system designed and implemented for the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) has proven to be a valuable tool to automate data management and documentation for dozens of NEPS studies throughout the past years. Recently, more large-scale studies being conducted at the LIfBi besides NEPS. This has been supported by enhancing the NEPS metadata structure in two ways: (1) By extending the scope of the metadata to central study parameters documenting the field work procedures other study elements for internal purposes, linking these elements to the metadata infrastructures; and (2) by enabling the metadata system to hold information about study projects different form NEPS, whilst fostering metadata reuse between the projects. After a quick introduction to the NEPS metadata system's structure in a nutshell, the presentation will sum up its use for automated documentation and data processing. Afterwards, it will give insights into the process of extending the system for use by other projects. In an outlook, there is room to discuss this practice of opening a “proprietary” (i.e. custom-tailored, not standards-based) metadata system, and the implications for (meta)data sharing in a broader community.

description: Obesity consists one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality, especially in developed countries, in many of which obesity has taken the dimensions of an epidemic. Disease rates are also worrying in the developing world, where the western lifestyle is increasingly adopted. The aim of the present thesis was the study of the prevalence of obesity mainly among Greek adults and secondly among children, while analyzing extensively the clinical management of the disease in our country, from the changes in patients’ lifestyle to the implementation of medical and surgical treatments. Initially, we elucidated the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of obesity, including both environmental and genetic factors, as long as the comorbidities often burdening obese people. Furthermore, we estimated the cost of the clinical management of the disease and the financial impact on the Health System. Finally, in order to fill the bibliography gaps, on which our research was carried out for the collection of the data, we interviewed experts on this field (Key Opinion Leaders, KOLs), whose answers are presented thoroughly in the last part of this thesis

description: The equation for the quantum motion of a Brownian particle in a gaseous environment is derived by means of S-matrix theory. This quantum version of the linear Boltzmann equation accounts non-perturbatively for the quantum effects of the scattering dynamics and describes decoherence and dissipation in a unified framework. As a completely positive master equation it incorporates both the known equation for an infinitely massive Brownian particle and the classical linear Boltzmann equation as limiting cases.

In this project, metaphase chromosomes from normal subjects were banded using restriction endonuclease to establish the frequency of chromosomal polymorphism in the general population and also metaphase chromosomes were banded using restriction endonucleases in an attempt to trace the parental origin of embryonic chromosomes. The purpose of chromosome tracing analysis was to determine if uniparental disomy can be detected in early diploid spontaneous abortuses. The restriction endonuclease AluI was selected over RsaI, MboI, and DdeI, as it revealed reproducible polymorphisms at the centromeric regions of 20 out of 24 human chromosomes. The method of chromosome structure as standards was selected over the methods of linear measurements, surface area measurements, and polymorphism sizing, to quantify the size of the polymorphic region on each of the chromosomes. Using the chromosome structure as standards method, the frequencies of polymorphisms for each chromosome was calculated. This revealed that chromosomes 1,6,16, and Y were the most likely to be variable at the centromeric region. When parent to progeny chromosome tracing analysis was applied to metaphases treated with AluI restriction endonuclease, a visual method of tracing was superior to the method of chromosome structure as standards. Tracing analysis of Alul restriction endonuclease treated chromosomes revealed that 6% of chromosomes could be traced.

description: In a recent paper (hep-th/0703157), Sen studied unstable D-branes in NS5-branes backgrounds and argued that in the strong curvature regime the universal open string tachyon (on D-branes of the wrong dimensionality) and the geometric tachyon (on D-branes that are BPS in flat space but not in this background) may become equivalent. We study in this note an example of a non-BPS suspended D-brane vs. a BPS D-brane at equal distance between two fivebranes. We use boundary worldsheet CFT methods to show that these two unstable branes are identical.

description: The ground-state energy of the doubly magic nuclei 4He and 16O has been calculated within the framework of the Goldstone expansion starting from modern nucleon-nucleon potentials. A low-momentum potential V-low-k has been derived from the bare potential by integrating out its high-momentum components beyond a cutoff Lambda. We have employed a simple criterion to relate this cutoff momentum to a boundary condition for the two-nucleon model space spanned by a harmonic-oscillator basis. Convergence of the results has been obtained with a limited number of oscillator quanta.

Έγιναν 2 διαφορετικά πειράματα για κάθε δεκαετία, το Control και το Feedback, όπου είναι ανενεργή και ενεργή αντίστοιχα, η αλληλεπίδραση της σκόνης με την ακτινοβολία. Στη μελλοντική περίοδο, συνολικά οι διαφορές δεν είναι σημαντικές. Ωστόσο, ο ετήσιος κύκλος της σκόνης παρουσιάζει σημαντικές μεταβολές στο μέλλον. Συγκεκριμένα, αναμένονται περισσότερες συγκεντρώσεις σκόνης την άνοιξη και ειδικά το Απρίλιο, ενώ θα μειωθούν σημαντικά τους χειμερινούς μήνες Ιανουάριο-Φεβρουάριο αλλά και τον Σεπτέμβριο, μήνα κατά τον οποίο, οι ποσότητες σκόνης την ιστορική περίοδο θέλουν να έρχεται δεύτερος μετά τον Απρίλιο.

description: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the optical depth of African dust in Athens, Thessaloniki and Finokalia, between 2 decades, December 2089 - November 2099, and December 1999 - November 2009 through simulations of the regional climate model RegCM4.5. There were 2 different experiments for every decade. Control and Feedback, where the dust is inactive and interactive respectively, with the radiation. Οverall differences are not significant between the 2 decades. However, the annual cycle of dust is changing significantly in the future. Specifically, more dust concentrations are expected in the spring, especially in April, and will fall sharply in the winter months of January-February, but also in September, the month in which dust quantities in the historical period are expected to come second after April. It is also that the dust episodes will become more extreme for all three cities

description: This thesis examines the production of narrative (istoriato) maiolica ceramics in sixteenth-century Urbino, particularly the practice of adapting pre-existing woodcuts and engravings to the painted scenes on the surfaces of these objects. I perform this analysis through a case-study of the Anne de Montmorency tableware service, manufactured in the workshop of Guido Durantino in 1535. Istoriato maiolica studies have often included the art-historical convention of the early modern artist as a solitary individual or genius. I will destabilize this trope by focusing on a prominent service for a powerful aristocrat that was nonetheless designed by anonymous artisans. I assert that the unique circumstances of the duchy of Urbino enabled artisans to compose narrative paintings of classical stories within the confines of their own workshop. With this in mind, I analyze the processes and design practices of these artisans through their products, and offer new conclusions about their compositional choices.

description: As the need for advanced, interactive mathematical models has increased, user/programmers are increasingly choosing the MatLab scripting language over spreadsheets. However, applications developed in these tools have high error risk, and no best practices exist. We recommend that advanced, highly mathematical applications incorporate these tools with spreadsheets into hybrid applications, where developers can apply EuSpRIG best practices. Development of hybrid applications can reduce the potential for errors, shorten development time, and enable higher level operations. We believe that hybrid applications are the future and over the course of this paper, we apply and extend spreadsheet best practices to reduce or prevent risks in hybrid Excel/MatLab applications.

Should the liberal state help its citizens maintain their voluntary ethnocultural identities, and using what measures?
Creators: name: Jackson, Jennifer Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis offers a general discussion of the reasons which might be given to justify a liberal state's political affirmation of all ethnocultural identities in its jurisdiction. Although I hope my argument may be pertinent to practical debates about state recognition of ethnocultural identities, I am primarily concerned with liberal theory's ability to provide such a justification. An immigrant society that contains voluntary ethnocultural associations raises important normative considerations of the sort that political theorists address. These associations, perhaps unlike those of the colonial plural society, are to be valued by liberals because they are driven not only by fate but also by choice. In societies made up in part of immigrants from diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, some people choose to express their individuality in this way. However, this choice is not always easy to make. In the historical experience of plural immigrant societies like Canada and the United States, for example, there have been certain periods when ethnocultural association and expression where not affirmed but despised by the majority of people. In circumstances of majority hostility and government indifference such choices can only be made by individuals who possess courage and determination to go against public opinion. People lacking these exceptional traits will, in effect, be denied an essential element of freedom. This seems both unreasonable and unwarranted if something can be done to change it which does not sacrifice a value of equal importance. I conclude that no such sacrifice is necessary in the case of political affirmation of ethnocultural identities. No one will be disadvantaged as a result of this kind of state intervention. In acknowledging all ethnocultural identities to be good and worthy, in no way can the liberal state inadvertently inflict indignity on any individual or group. Nor does this measure involve taking anything away from the political community as a whole. Political affirmation of ethnocultural groups in a plural immigrant society is an integrative--although not assimilative-- principle. Members of such respected and worthy groups would have a stake in the political community that adopted such measures: they would have a significant reason to obey and be loyal to that political community. In sum: the political affirmation of the dignity of all ethnocultural identities in a plural society is integrative, entails no significant costs, and is the right thing for a liberal state to do.

Η τεχνική αξιολόγηση βασίστηκε στην διατρησιμότητα των πετρωμάτων η οποία προσδιορίστηκε μέσω της ειδικής ενέργειας, μιας παραμέτρου που υπολογίστηκε με βάση τα διαθέσιμα δεδομένα διάτρησης όπως, τύπος και μέγεθος κοπτικού άκρου, εφαρμοζόμενο βάρος επί του κοπτικού άκρου, ταχύτητα περιστροφής και ρυθμός διείσδυσης. Στην συνέχεια, εκτιμήθηκε η πίεση των σχηματισμών με βάση την μέθοδο του εκθέτη d. Όσον αφορά την οικονομική αξιολόγηση των κοπτικών άκρων, αυτή στηρίχθηκε στον υπολογισμό του κόστους ανά πόδι διάτρησης. Τέλος, συγκρίθηκε τόσο η διατρησιμότητα όσο και το κόστος ανά πόδι μεταξύ των δύο γειτονικών γεωτρήσεων
description: The aim of the present thesis was the technical and economic evaluation of drill bits used in three wells in Northern Greeece: the two neighboring wells of Nestos 1 and Nestos 2 which are located close to Nestos Delta and the third well of Komotini which is located nearby Vistonida Lake. The technical evaluation was based on formation drillability which was computed by specific energy, a parameter which is dependent on available drilling data such as, bit type and size, weight applied on bit, rotary speed and penetration rate. Then, formation pore pressure was estimated based on d-exponent method. As for the economic evaluation of drill bits, this was determined by the computation of cost per drilled foot. Finally, drillability and cost per foot of the two neighboring wells were compared

description: There is recently a significant effort to add quantitative objectives to formal verification and synthesis. We introduce and investigate the extension of temporal logics with quantitative atomic assertions, aiming for a general and flexible framework for quantitative-oriented specifications. In the heart of quantitative objectives lies the accumulation of values along a computation. It is either the accumulated summation, as with the energy objectives, or the accumulated average, as with the mean-payoff objectives. We investigate the extension of temporal logics with the prefix-accumulation assertions Sum(v) ≥ c and Avg(v) ≥ c, where v is a numeric variable of the system, c is a constant rational number, and Sum(v) and Avg(v) denote the accumulated sum and average of the values of v from the beginning of the computation up to the current point of time. We also allow the path-accumulation assertions LimInfAvg(v) ≥ c and LimSupAvg(v) ≥ c, referring to the average value along an entire computation. We study the border of decidability for extensions of various temporal logics. In particular, we show that extending the fragment of CTL that has only the EX, EF, AX, and AG temporal modalities by prefix-accumulation assertions and extending LTL with path-accumulation assertions, result in temporal logics whose model-checking problem is decidable. The extended logics allow to significantly extend the currently known energy and mean-payoff objectives. Moreover, the prefix-accumulation assertions may be refined with “controlled-accumulation”, allowing, for example, to specify constraints on the average waiting time between a request and a grant. On the negative side, we show that the fragment we point to is, in a sense, the maximal logic whose extension with prefix-accumulation assertions permits a decidable model-checking procedure. Extending a temporal logic that has the EG or EU modalities, and in particular CTL and LTL, makes the problem undecidable.
