description: We present submillimeter observations of dark clouds that are part of the Spitzer Legacy Program, From Molecular Cores to Planet-Forming Disks (c2d). We used the Submillimetre Common User's Bolometer Array to map the regions observed by Spitzer by the c2d program to create a census of dense molecular cores including data from the infrared to the submillimeter. In this paper, we present the basic data from these observations: maps, fluxes, and source attributes. We also show data for an object just outside the Perseus cloud that was serendipitously observed in our program. We propose that this object is a newly discovered, evolved protostar.

description: The energy conditions give upper bounds on the luminosity distance. We apply these upper bounds to the 192 essence supernova Ia data to show that the Universe had experienced accelerated expansion. This conclusion is drawn directly from the distance modulus-reshift graph. In addition to be a very simple method, this method is also totally independent of any cosmological model. From the degeneracy of the distance modulus at low redshift, we argue that the choice of $w_0$ for probing the property of dark energy is misleading. One explicit example is used to support this argument.

description: We develop an athermal version of the shear-transformation-zone (STZ) theory of amorphous plasticity in materials where thermal activation of irreversible molecular rearrangements is negligible or nonexistent. In many respects, this theory has broader applicability and yet is simpler than its thermal predecessors. For example, it needs no special effort to assure consistency with the laws of thermodynamics, and the interpretation of yielding as an exchange of dynamic stability between jammed and flowing states is clearer than before. The athermal theory presented here incorporates an explicit distribution of STZ transition thresholds. Although this theory contains no conventional thermal fluctuations, the concept of an effective temperature is essential for understanding how the STZ density is related to the state of disorder of the system.

We derive the analog of the Gibbons-Hawking-York boundary term required to render the Dirichlet boundary value problem well-defined. It turns out to be a boundary Chern-Simons action for the extrinsic curvature. We address applications to black hole thermodynamics.

Το σύγχρονο μάλιστα πρόταγμα της συντονισμένης αντεγκληματικής πολιτικής επέδρασε με σύο τρόπους στην διεθνή έννομη τάξη. Από τη μία δημιούργησε νέα μέτρα καταστολής και από την άλλη διατύπωσε το αίτημα προστασίας του ατόμου από την επεξεργασία προσωπικών του πληροφοριών. Για την αποτελεσματικότερη προστασία θεσπίστηκε ποινικό άδικο, ιδίως μετά την έκδοση της Οδηγίας 95/46. Την ίδια στιγμή όμως με ειδικές νομοθετικές προβλέψεις εξαιρέθηκαν από την ποινική προστασία τα όργανα δίωξης του εγκλήματος. Στην ελληνική έννομη τάξη συνέβη το ίδιο. Ετσι ερευνάται αν η ποινική προστασία των προσωπικών δεδομένων δημιουργεί αναχώματα στον πολίτη από την επεξεργασία των προσωπικών του δεδομένων

Pressure-robustness for the Stokes equations on anisotropic meshes

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Pressure-robustness has been widely studied since the conception of the notion and the introduction of the reconstruction approach for classical mixed methods in [5]. Using discretizations capable of yielding velocity solutions that are independent of the pressure approximation has been recognized as essential, and a large number of recent articles attest to this fact, e.g., [1,6]. Apart from the pressure-robustness aspect, incompressible flows exhibit anisotropic phenomena in the solutions which can be dealt with by using anisotropic mesh grading. The recent publications [3,4] deal with the combination of both challenges. We briefly revisit the results from [4] and provide an insightful new numerical example.

description: Voltage fluctuations of Platinum wires hosted by silicon nitride beams were investigated. We considered four variants of the wires: three with an adhesion layer and one with no adhesion layer. We found that the presence of an adhesion layer changes the nature of the power spectrum which is $1/f$ for wires with no adhesion layers and $1/f^{3/2}$ for wires with an adhesion layer. We attribute the value of the exponent $α=3/2$ to the long range diffusion of hydrogen originating from adhesion layers that undergo a migration through the Pt wires.

Η παρουσία υπολοίπων μονομερών είναι ανεπιθύμητη, ιδιαίτερα στην περίπτωση τοξικών μονομερών. Σε άλλες περιπτώσεις, τα υπολειπόμενα μονομερή αναδύουν μία δυσάρεστη οσμή και τα πτητικά συστατικά είναι δυνατόν να σχηματίσουν ένα εκρητικό μίγμα κατά τη διάρκεια μεταφοράς και αποθήκευση. Η μολύνση με μη-αντιδρώντα μονομερή είναι ιδιαίτερα επικίνδυνη όταν τα πολυμερή χρησιμοποιούνται στην συσκευασία τροφίμων. Στόχος λοιπόν της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας είναι η ανάπτυξη τεχνικών για τον καθορισμό της της ποσότητας μη αντιδρώντων μονομερών και άλλων οργανικών ενώσεων στο πολυμερές, καθώς και η κατανομή τους σε διάφορες φάσεις, ώστε σ΄ένα δεύτερο στάδιο να μπορέσουν να απομακρυνθούν από τα πολυμερή, προκειμένου ν'ανταποκριθούν στους κανονισμούς της Ευρωπαϊκής Ενωσης, όσον αφορά την αυξανόμενη ασφάλεια και τη μόλυνση της περιβάλλοντος.

description: The polymerization of polymers rarely proceeds to completion and there is inevitably a level of unreached monomer remaining in the polymer. The presence of residual monomers is undersirable, particularly when the monomers are toxic. In other cases, the residual monomer in parts an undersirable odor and the residual volatile components might form an explosive mixture during transportation and storage. Contamination with unreacted monomer is particularly a problem when the polymer is used for food packaging as well as in interior development of methodologies for the implementation of more efficient processes for the determination of monomer and non-polymerizable voc in the polymer. Other challenges involve the investigation of various techniques available for the removal of residual monomers and other VOCs from polymers and the effect of the various system amd process parameters on the effectiveness of the process. All the results of this study will have direct and immediate implication on the more efficient reduction of VOCs, in order to meet the increasing safety and anti-pollution regulations
Twin Modular $S_4$ with $SU(5)$ GUT

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We discuss the $SU(5)$ grand unified extension of flavour models with multiple modular symmetries. The proposed model involves two modular $S_4$ groups, one acting in the charged fermion sector, associated with a modulus field value $τ_T$ with residual $Z_3^T$ symmetry, and one acting in the right-handed neutrino sector, associated with another modulus field value $τ_{SU}$ with residual $Z_2^{SU}$ symmetry. Quark and lepton mass hierarchies are naturally generated with the help of weightons, which are SM singlet fields, where their non-zero modular weights play the role of Froggatt-Nielsen charges. The model predicts TM$_1$ lepton mixing, and neutrinoless double beta decay at rates close to the sensitivity of current and future experiments, for both normal and inverted orderings, with suppressed corrections from charged lepton mixing due to the triangular form of its Yukawa matrix.

description: The Habitable zone Planet Finder (HPF) is a fiber fed precise radial velocity spectrograph at the 10 m Hobby Eberly Telescope (HET). Due to its fixed altitude design, the HET pupil changes appreciably across a track, leading to significant changes of the fiber far-field illumination. HPF's fiber scrambler is designed to suppress the impact of these illumination changes on the radial velocities -- but the residual impact on the radial velocity measurements has yet to be probed on sky. We use GJ 411, a bright early type (M2) M dwarf to probe the effects of far-field input trends due to these pupil variations on HPF radial velocities (RVs). These large changes ($\sim$ 2x) in pupil area and centroid present a harsh test of HPF's far-field scrambling. Our results show that the RVs are effectively decoupled from these extreme far-field input changes due to pupil centroid offsets, attesting to the effectiveness of the scrambler design. This experiment allows us to test the impact of these changes with large pupil variation on-sky, something we would not easily be able to do at a conventional optical telescope. While the pupil and illumination changes expected at these other telescopes are small, scaling from our results enables us to estimate and bound these effects, and show that they are controllable even for the new and next generation of RV instruments in their quest to beat down instrumental noise sources towards the goal of a few cm/s.

description: This Diploma Thesis will consider the possibility of a Cold Ironing installation in Chania’s port, Souda, from a cost-benefit perspective.
The aim of using Cold Ironing is to improve air quality in a port and in the city close to the port area, by reducing emissions of air pollutants such as NOx and SOx. This is achieved by replacing onboard generated power from diesel auxiliary engines with clean electricity supplied by a shore connection.
The present Thesis presents a technical design of the installation as well as its financial and environmental evaluation.
The Green aspect of the project is determined by the development of a photovoltaic park as an alternative way to generate electricity for the Cold Ironing application.
Finally, the viability of the total investment is determined by calculating Net Present Value, while at the same time the environmental benefits for the port of Souda are considered.

 Σκοπός για την εγκατάσταση ενός συστήματος Cold Ironing είναι η βελτίωση της ποιότητας της ατμόσφαιρας στο λιμάνι αλλά και στην περιοχή γύρω από αυτό, μειώνοντας τις εκπομπές των αέριων ρύπων (π.χ. ΝOx, SΟx ). Αυτό μπορεί να επιτευχθεί αν αντικατασταθεί η χρήση των βοηθητικών κινητήρων diesel για την παραγωγή ισχύος με παροχή ηλεκτρικού ρεύματος από την ξηρά.
Στην συγκεκριμένη εργασία παρουσιάζεται η τεχνική σχεδίαση της εφαρμογής αυτής καθώς και το οικονομικό και περιβαλλοντικό της αποτύπωμα.
Η πράσινη πτυχή του έργου καθορίζεται από την ανάπτυξη ενός φωτοβολταϊκού πάρκου, ως εναλλακτικός τρόπος παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας για την εφαρμογή του Cold Ironing.

Attitudes toward resource conservation and conservation behaviour: the moderating role of self-interest and social values
Creators: name: Lavallee, Loraine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: People's tendency to deplete shared natural resources has been well documented (Edney, 1979; Hardin, 1968). At the same time, however, people are generally in favour of resource conservation. A possible explanation for the observed inconsistency between attitudes toward resource conservation and conservation behaviour is that people do not hold their attitudes with conviction(Abelson, 1988). Attitudes held with conviction, or important attitudes, are attitudes related to important goals or values in the self-concept (Kronsnick, 1990). In the present study, the attitude object -- resource conservation -- was experimentally linked to participants' important values to investigate whether attitude importance, conservation behaviour, and attitude-behaviour correspondence would be enhanced. Eighty-four subjects, pretested on the positivity of their attitudes toward resource conservation and the relative importance of personal versus social values, were selected for the study. Participating in groups of 3 to 6, subjects read an experimental message that either described the societal or personal outcomes of resource depletion. For half of the participants the message linked the issue to their more important value, for the other half the message linked the issue to a lessimportant value. After reading the message, the positivity and importance of subjects' attitudes were measured. Then subjects completed a replenishable resource task that manipulated the costs (low or high) of conserving a shared resource and served as the measure of conservation behaviour. The predicted effects were not found: linking attitudes to more important as compared to less important values did not increase attitude importance,conservation behaviour or attitude-behaviour consistency. Additional analyses, which included pretest attitude positivity, however, demonstrated that when conservation behaviour was costly to perform, subjects with more positive attitudes toward resource conservation were more likely than people with less positive attitudes to conserve the resource. When the correlations between pretest attitude positivity and conservation behaviour were examined, the correspondence between attitudes and behaviour was found to be strong only when behaviour was costly to perform and when subjects were made aware of the personal rather than the societal outcomes of resource depletion. These results suggest that both positive attitudes and awareness of the potential personal outcomes of conservation are needed to motivate people to conserve a shared resource.

description: The spectrum of the bosonic sector of the D=11 supermembrane with central charges is shown to be discrete and with finite multiplicities, hence containing a mass gap. The result extends to the exact theory our previous proof of the similar property for the SU(N) regularised model and strongly suggest discreteness of the spectrum for the complete Hamiltonian of the supermembrane with central charges. This theory is a quantum equivalent to a symplectic non-commutative super-Yang-Mills in 2+1 dimensions, where the space-like sector is a Riemann surface of positive genus. In this context, it is argued how the theory in 4D exhibits confinement in the N=1 supermembrane with central charges phase and how the theory enters in the quark-gluon plasma phase through the spontaneous breaking of the centre. This phase is interpreted in terms of the compactified supermembrane without central charges.

description: The effect of the electron transverse and longitudinal velocity spread at the entrance to the interaction space on wide-band chaotic oscillations in intense multiple-velocity beams is studied theoretically and numerically under the conditions of formation of a virtual cathode. It is found that an increase in the electron velocity spread causes chaotization of virtual cathode oscillations. An insight into physical processes taking place in a virtual cathode multiple velocity beam is gained by numerical simulation. The chaotization of the oscillations is shown to be associated with additional electron structures, which were separated out by constructing charged particle distribution functions.

description: Providing care to children and adults requires time and resources. In this snapshot, we explore the supports used by caregivers and the supports they still need. Since the caregiving needs of children and adults vary, we also explore variations in supports used based on the type of care provided. Overall, we find that caregivers use and desire a variety of programs and resources to support them in their caregiving duties. There were important differences in needs based on who they care for. Those who care for both children and adults (also sometimes referred to as the “sandwich generation”) consistently reported a greater need for support.

description: Τα μόρια κυτταρικής προσκόλλησης(ΜΚΠ) αντιπροσωπεύουν μεμβρανικούς υποδοχείς που βοηθούν στην αλληλεπίδραση του κυττάρου με τα γειτονικά του και το εξωκυττάριο περιβάλλον, συμβάλλοντος στην ιστική αρχιτεκτονική και ομοιστασία καθώς και παθολογία πχ. νεοπλάσματα. Σκοπός είναι η μελέτη της έκφρασης ΜΚΠ στα νεοπλάσματα σιελογόνων αδένων σε σχέση με το φυσιολογικό και φλεγμαίον αδενικό παρέγχυμα. ΥΛΙΚΟ-ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ : μελετήθηκαν η β4 ιντεγκρίνη, η Ε-καντχερίνη, η δεσμογλεϊνη-2, το ICAM-1 και το CD44s με την ανοσοιστοχημική μέθοδο Envision-HPP σε 54 καλοήθη και 36 κακοήθη νεοπλάσματα και 41 μάρτυρες ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ : η β4 ιντεγκρίνη φυσιολογικά εκφράζεται στις πλαγιοβασικές επιφάνειες κυττάρων σε επαφή με βασική μεμβράνη. Στακαλοήθη και κακοήθη νεοπλάσματα υπήρχε διατήρηση ή αύξηση της έκφρασης μεμβρανικό, ανεξάρτητα από επαφή με βασική μεβράνη. Οι Ε-καντχερίνη και δεσμογλεϊνη 2 στα καλοήθη και περισσότερο στα κακοήθη νεοπλάσματα παρουσιάζουν μείωση έως απώλεια έκφρασης στις επιφάνειες διακυτταρικής επαφής. Το ICAM-1 απών από το φυσιολογικό αδενικό επιθήλιο, εκφράζεται ωστόσο στο νεοπλασματικό(καλόηθα και κακόηθα), ενώ το CD44s παρουσιάζει ελάττωση ή απώλεια έκφρασης. Συμπέρασμα : Τα ΜΚΠ βοηθούν στην κατανόηση της φυσιολογικής αρχιτεκτονικής αλλά και μπορούν να αποτελέσουν δείκτες βιολογικής συμπεριφοράς στα κακοήθη νεοπλάσματα των σιελογόνων αδένων
description: Cell adhesion molecules(CAMs) are membrane receptors participating in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interactions. They implicate in tissue architecture, growing, homeostasis and paehology(neoplasms) AIM : our study was focused in expression of CAMs in neoplasms of salivary glands comparing to normal and inflammed tissues : MATERIAL-METHODS : b4 integrin, E-cadherin, desmoglein-2, ICAM-1 and CD44s were examined using the Envision-HRP immunohistochemical technique in 54 cases of benign and 36 of malignant neoplasms and 41 normal controls(parafin tissues). RESULTS : b4 integrin was normally expressed in basolateral surfaces of cells contacted to basal lamina. This CAM was also expressed in both benign and malignant neoplasms as well in a non polarised manner. E-cadherin and desmoglein-2 were descreased in benign and malignant(mainly) tumors companing to their normal expression in cell-cell contacts ICAM-1 was expressed in salivary glands tumors instead of its absence in normal epithelia and finally CD44s was characterized by decreased expression in these tumors mainly in malignantenes. CONCLUSIONS : CAMs help us to understand the normal architecture of salivary glands and furthermore they can be important markers for prognosis in cases of salivary gland malignancy

description: Στα πλαίσια της παρούσας διατριβής μελετήθηκε η μετάβαση του οριακού στρώματος από τη στρωτή σε τυρβώδη ροή υπό συνθήκες διατμητικής ροής στην είσοδο. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο προσομειώνεται η μετάβαση που πραγματοποιείται στα πτερύγια μιας στροβιλομηχανικής όπου το προφίλ εισόδου της ταχύτητας εμφανίζει κλίση είτε θετικής είτε αρνητικής τιμής. Τα πειράματα πραγματοποιήθηκαν σε αεροσήραγγα όπου βρίσκονταν τοποθετημένη πλάκα από αλουμίνιο με ημικυκλική ακμή προσβολής. Παράλληλα πραγματοποιήθηκε υπολογιστική μοντελοποίηση της ροής με τη χρήση γραμμικών μοντέλων τύρβης(Κ-Σ, K-W) καθώς και μη γραμμικού μοντέλου για χαμηλούς τοπικούς αριθμούς Reynolds. Οι πειραματικές μετρήσεις πραγματοποιήθηκαν με την τεχνική της ανεμομετρίαςθερμού σύρματος και περιελάμβαναν 3 ομάδες μετρήσεων : 1)ομοιόμορφη κατανομή της ταχύτητας εισόδου 2)θετική κλίση κατανομή της ταχύτητας εισόδου και 3)αρνητική κλίση στην κατανομή της ταχύτητας εισόδου. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν τη μετάβαση του οριακού στρώματος από στρωτή σε τυρβώδη ροή μέσω αποκόλλησης της ροής. Η μετάβαση πραγματοποιήθηκε πιο γρήγορα για ορυκτική κλίση της ταχύτητας όπου σχηματίστηκε η μεγαλύτερη φυσαλίδα αποκόλλησης. Το μέγεθος της φυσαλίδας στην ακμή πρόσβασης της πλάκας δεδομένου ότι η ένταση της τύρβης ήταν και στις τρείς περιπτώσεις
description: In the present thesis the boundary layer transition from lominar to turbulent flow under free-stream shear flow have been studied it simulates the boundary layer transition in the blades of a turbomachine where the velocity profile. The experiments have been carried out in a wind tunnel where a plate of aluminium with semi-circular leading edge the use of K-S and K-W linear low Reynolds formulation. The experimental measurements have been carried out with the hot-wine anemometry technique and included 3 set of measurements : 1)uniform inlet velocity profile 2) Velocity inlet profile with positive gradient 3) Velocity inlet profile with negative gradient. The results showed a boundary layer transition from laminar to turbulent flow through flow seperation for the three set of measurements. The boundary layer transition completed earlier for the case of negative velocity gradient profile in which the separation bublle had the larged dependent on the position of the stagnation point in the flat plate leading edge while the turbolence intensity was the same for all the cases

Applications of GIS in hydrologic modeling

description: Literature on applications of geographic information systems (GIS) to hydrologic modeling, stormflow generation in steep watersheds of humid regions, and automated configurations of watersheds was reviewed. A hydrologic model in conjunction with GIS technology was constructed to simulate stormflow hydrographs from a watershed. The model consists of three components: stormflow generation, translation and detention. Two major aspects were emphasised in the model: one is taking advantage of standard GIS to extract, overlay and delineate land and water-related characteristics required for stormflow modeling; another is integrating GIS with hydrologic modeling to simulate both spatial and temporal transformation of rainfall into stormflow. A good agreement between simulated and observed stormflow hydrographs was achieved when the model was tested using real data from Jamieson Creek, a well gaged and forested watershed in North Vancouver. Applications of this model in an ungaged and forested watershed, Nitinat watershed on Vancouver Island, show that the model is capable of handling the effects of complexities of soil, land use, topography and rainfall intensity on stormflow simulation. It was revealed that for a given return period the maximum peak flow for a design storm would increase with the duration of the storm and the Rational Method would not be suitable in estimating the maximum peak flow from a watershed with large storage capacity. The GIS technology was highly recommended for water resources management because of its ability of managing and modeling spatial information. Further improvement and testing of the model would result in a comprehensive GIS based model, simulating stormflow, soil erosion and non-point source water pollution.

description: We show that the BFV quantization scheme can be implemented in the nonprojectable 2+1 Horava theory. This opens the possibility of imposing more general gauge conditions in the quantization of this theory. The BFV quantization is based on the canonical formalism, which is suitable to incorporate the measure associated to the second-class constraints that the theory has. Special features of the Hamiltonian density and the matrix of second-class constraints allow that the system be involutive in terms of Dirac brackets, which is a nontrivial requisite for implementing the BFV formalism. We present the BRST symmetry transformations in the canonical variables. The theory is of rank one, in the classification introduced by Fradkin and Fradkina. The originally called relativistic gauge-fixing conditions of the BFV formalism can be implemented in the nonprojectable Horava theory, extended to nonrelativistic forms. We show that the nonlocal gauge condition introduced in the projectable theory can be included among these gauges.

description: Στο θεωρητικό μέρος της διατριβής διευκρινίζονται αρχικά οι έννοιες "παιδεία" και "ανθρωπιστική παιδεία", ενώ παράλληλα επιχειρείται μια λεπτομερής περιγραφή της κοινωνικής ιστορίας των ανθρωπιστικών σπουδών στο δυτικό κόσμο. Κατόπιν, μελετάται συστηματικά η λειτουργική σημασία αυτών των σπουδών στην ελληνική εκπαίδευση και κυρίως στο δεύτερο δίκτυο της τεχνικο-επαγγελματικής εκπαίδευσης. Στο ερευνητικό μέρος της διατριβής, εξετάζεται συγκεκριμένα η διαβάθμιση που παρατηρείται(βαθμός"θετικότητας") στον τρόπο που αντιλαμβάνονται το λειτουργικό ρόλο της ανθρωπιστικής παιδείας εκπαιδευτικοί και μαθητές σε ένα Τ.Ε.Ε.(εξαρτημένη μεταβλητή) ως προς την ειδικότητα, το φύλο, τον τόπο διαμονής και την οικονομική κατάσταση(ανεξάρτητες μεταβλητές). Η έρευνα που διεξάγεται, κατόπιν, είναι πανελλαδική και χρησιμοποιούνται δύο ερωτηματολόγια. Η στατιστική ανάλυση των δεδομένων, στη συνέχεια, επαληθεύει τις αρχικές υποθέσεις : αντιλαμβάνονται θετικότερα το λειτουργικό ρόλο της ανθρωπιστικής παιδείας στην τεχνική εκπαίδευση α) εκείνοι οι εκπαιδευτικοί και μαθητές που έχουν ακαδημαϊκότερη-θεωρητικότερη κατεύθυνση στις σπουδές τους β)οι γυναίκες εκπαιδευτικοί και μαθήτριες γ)αυτοί που κατοικούν σε αστικές περιοχές δ)αυτοί που βρίσκονται σε καλύτερη οικονομική κατάσταση
description: In the theoretical part of dissertation, the concepts of "education" and "humanities" have been elucidated, whereas an alaborate description of the social history of the humanities in western world has also been attempted. Moreover, the functional meaning of these studies has been systematically-especially in the second educational track : vocational education. In the searching part, i've tried to ascertain the gradation (degree of "Positiveness") in the perception of vocational educators and pupils as far as that concern their economical position. As a result, i've engaged in a panhellenic inquiry using two questionnaires. The following statistic analysis has verified the initial hypothesis : they perceive the functional role of humanities in vocational education much more positively(a) all those vocational educators and pupils who have more academic-theoretical direction in their studies b) the female educators and pupils c)all those who live in urban areas d)all those who are in a better economical position

description: Οι εκπομπές ΝΟx του αναγεννητή μονάδας FCC αποτελούν το 50% των ολικών NOx του διυλιστηρίου στις DENOx τεχνολογίες ξεχωρίζει η χρήση καταλυτικών πρόσθετων. Σήμερα τα περισσότερα διυλιστήρια χρησιμοποιούν προωθητικά μέσα καύσης του CO, τα οποία ενισχύουν την οξείδωση του CO, αλλά αυξάνουν τις εκπομπές NOx. Ετσι, αντικείμενο της παρούσας διατριβής ήταν η ανάπτυξη και αξιολόγηση καινοτόμων καταλυτικών πρόσθετων για την ταυτόχρονη μείωση εκπομπών ΝΟ και CO. Αξιολόγηση της επίδρασης εμπορικών πρόσθετων στις εκπομπές NOx οδήγησε στην ανάπτυξη πρωτοκόλλου αξιολόγησης καινοτόμων DENOx καταλυτών σε εργαστηριακή μονάδα μικρής κλίμακας. Νέα καταλυτικά πρόσθετα(Ag, Rh, Ir, Ru) αξιολογήθηκαν με εφαρμογή αυτού του πρωτοκόλλου. Το καταλυτικό υπόστρωμα και το ποσοστό μετάλλου είχαν καθοριστική επίδραση στην DENOx απόδοση. Οι αποτελεσματικότεροι καταλύτες δοκιμάστηκαν και σε πιλοτική μονάδα FCC του ΤΧΗΔ/ΕΚΕΤΑ. Χρήση των πρόσθετων Ir μείωσε κατά 72% τις εκπομπές ΝΟ. Από μελέτες IR προτείνεται η αναγωγή του ΝΟ από το CO πάνω σε καταλύτες Rh-Ir- και Ru/ALUMINA λαμβάνει χώρα μέσω διασπαστικής ρόφησης του ΝΟ, σχηματισμό του ΝΟ, σχηματισμό ειδών NCO πάνω στο μέταλλο, μετατόπιση αυτών στο υπόστρωμα αλουμίνας, όπου και αντιδρούν τελικά προς N^(2) και CO^(2)
description: NOx emissions from the regenerator of a FCC unit make up to 50% of the total NOx emissions in a refinary. Use of catalytic additives seems the most attractive among the NOx control strategies. Today most of teh increase NOx emissions. Thus, the subject of the present thesis was the developement and evaluation of novel catalytic additives for thesimultaneous reduction of NO and CO emissions during regeneration. Evaluation of three commercial products on NOx emissions levels during regeneration led to the development of a standard, bench-scale evaluation protocal for novel DENOx catalysts. New catalytic additives(Ag-,Rh, Ir-Ru-Based) were evaluated using this protocol. Catalytic support and metal loading were crucial parameters affective the DENOx performance. The most efficient catalysts were also tested in the pikot plant FCC unit unit of CPERI/CERTH. Use of Ir additives led up to 72% reduction of the no emissions. Ir studies suggest that no reduction by CO over Rh-, Ir-and Ru/A LUMINA catalysts proceeds via dissociative apsorption of NO, formation of NCO species on the metal and their subsequent react to finaly yield N^(2) and CO^(2)

description: This paper addresses the critical challenge of building consumer trust in AI-powered customer engagement by emphasising the necessity for transparency and accountability. Despite the potential of AI to revolutionise business operations and enhance customer experiences, widespread concerns about misinformation and the opacity of AI decision-making processes hinder trust. Surveys highlight a significant lack of awareness among consumers regarding their interactions with AI, alongside apprehensions about bias and fairness in AI algorithms. The paper advocates for the development of explainable AI models that are transparent and understandable to both consumers and organisational leaders, thereby mitigating potential biases and ensuring ethical use. It underscores the importance of organisational commitment to transparency practices beyond mere regulatory compliance, including fostering a culture of accountability, prioritising clear data policies and maintaining active engagement with stakeholders. By adopting a holistic approach to transparency and explainability, businesses can cultivate trust in AI technologies, bridging the gap between technological innovation and consumer acceptance, and paving the way for more ethical and effective AI-powered customer engagements.
