description: Η νευροψυχολογική εκτίμηση αποτελεί μία δομημένη διαδικασία εξαγωγής συμπερασμάτων σχετικά με τα δομικά και λειτουργικά χαρακτηριστικά του εγκεφάλου ενός ατόμου μέσω της αξιολόγησης της συμπεριφοράς του σε καθορισμένες συνθήκες διέγερσης-απόκρισης. Πρόσφατες μελέτες στάθμισης ψυχομετρικών εργαλείων, χρησιμοποιούν μοντέλα συνεχών κανονιστικών δεδομένων, τα οποία επιτρέπουν τον έλεγχο των δημογραφικών επιδράσεων στην απόδοση στις διάφορες δοκιμασίες. Στόχος της μελέτης ήταν η εξαγωγή συνεχών κανονιστικών δεδομένων για τη Συστοιχία Νευροψυχολογικής Αξιολόγησης ΣυΝεΨυ. Τα πλεονεκτήματα της δημιουργίας συνεχών κανονιστικών δεδομένων είναι πολλαπλά, καθώς εξαλείφεται το σφάλμα μέτρησης όταν τα άτομα του δείγματος ανήκουν στα άκρα μιας ηλικιακής ή εκπαιδευτικής κατανομής. Δημιουργήθηκαν περισσότεροι δείκτες - που αξιολογούν σημαντικές γνωστικές ικανότητες- και παράχθηκαν τυπικοί βαθμοί για όλες τις δοκιμασίες. Η αξιόπιστη στάθμιση της συστοιχίας για τον ελληνικό πληθυσμό και η σύντομη διάρκεια συμπλήρωσης της, αποτελούν σημαντικά κριτήρια ευχρηστίας τόσο σε κλινικό όσο και σε ερευνητικό επίπεδο.
description: Neuropsychological assessment is a structured process of drawing conclusions about the structural and functional characteristics of an individual's brain by evaluating his behavior in certain stimulus-response conditions. Recent studies of psychometric tools use regression-based norming approaches, which allow the control of demographic factors on performance in various tests. The aim of the study was to produce continuous normative data for the Neuropsychological Assessment Battery SyNePsy. The advantages of creating continuous normative data are manifold, as the error of measurement is eliminated when the individuals in the sample belong to the extremes of an age or educational distribution. More indices have been developed - assessing important cognitive skills – and standard scores have been generated for all tests. The reliable validation of the battery for the Greek population and the short duration of its completion, are important criteria of usability both at clinical and research level.

ZooBank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: CCDF5D43- C7A3-4D8B-AC14-302E7CCB0233.
Diagnosis: Stylonychine with medium to large body size, in vivo 70–210 μm × 30–90 μm. Body obovate, with posterior half of cell distinctly narrower than anterior. Eighteen frontal–ventral–transverse cirri. Transverse cirri arranged in two groups of three left and two right. One right and one left row of marginal cirri. Frontal area in Stylonychia pattern, i.e. frontal cirri distinctly shifted to the right of the midline of the body. Undulating membranes in Stylonychia pattern. Six dorsal kineties, including two dorsomarginal rows; kinety 3 with simple fragmentation. Three narrowly spaced caudal cirri, slightly shifted to right, one each at posterior end of kineties 1, 2, and 4. Oral primordium originates left to leftmost transverse cirrus. Cirrus IV/3 produces anlagen IV–VI of the proter, cirri III/2, IV/2, and V/4 are involved in primordia formation. 18S rRNA gene: 591 (T); 632 (T); 669 (G); 698 (C); 709 (G); 1384 (T); 1404 (A); 1408 (A); 1726 (A).
Etymology: The name is a composite of the Greek prefix apo - (derived from) and the genus group-name Stylonychia Ehrenberg, 1830, indicating that the new genus has a similar cirral pattern to that of Stylonychia, especially the arrangement of transverse cirri. Feminine gender.
Type species: Apostylonychia baugilensis sp. nov.
Species assignable: Apostylonychia baugilensis sp. nov. and Apostylonychia notophorides (Foissner, 2016) comb. nov. (original combination: Stylonychia notophorides Foissner, 2016).

description: Η διπλωματική αυτή εργασία επιχειρεί να διερευνήσει ποιοτικά την ελληνική εμπειρία των ΛΟΑΤΚΙ ατόμων, μέσα από την καταγραφή εμπειριών σε σχέση με τους δεσμούς με την οικογένεια, το κοινωνικό περιβάλλον και τους ομότιμους, την εμπειρία με τη χρήση, τους παράγοντες που τα οδήγησαν σε αυτή, και την άποψη των ατόμων για το ρόλο του σεξουαλικού προσανατολισμού/ταυτότητας φύλου τους στην επιλογή για χρήση. Η συγκεκριμένη έρευνα είναι ιδιαιτέρως σημαντική, καθώς στον ελληνικό χώρο δεν έχουν διεξαχθεί έρευνες που να εστιάζουν στα ποιοτικά χαρακτηριστικά και τις εμπειρίες της ΛΟΑΤΚΙ κοινότητας σε συνδυασμό με τη χρήση ουσιών και τους παράγοντες επικινδυνότητας. Θα γίνουν, επίσης, προσπάθειες για να εκφραστούν προτάσεις σχετικά με την ευαισθητοποίηση της κοινωνίας και των ειδικών ψυχικής υγείας, τις πολιτικές πρόληψης στην εκπαίδευση, και τη χάραξη πολιτικών με βάση τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα. Για αυτό το σκοπό διεξήχθησαν 14 συνεντεύξεις με ΛΟΑΤΚΙ άτομα που είχαν εμπειρία χρήσης ουσιών. Μέσα από ποιοτική διερεύνηση και ανάλυση, προκύπτουν διάφοροι παράγοντες που φαίνεται πως λειτουργούν καθοριστικά όσον αφορά τη χρήση ουσιών, σε σχέση με την οικογένεια και την αυτοαντίληψη των ατόμων για τη ΛΟΑΤΚΙ ταυτότητά τους, αλλά αναδεικνύεται και η γενικότερη εμπειρία τους από τη συνειδητοποίηση έως την αποδοχή του εαυτού τους μέσα στην κοινωνία.
description: This Master’thesis attempts to qualitatively explore the Greek experience of LGBTQ+ individuals through the recording of experiences in relation to family bonds, social environment and peers, experience with substance use, the factors that led them to it, and individuals’ views on the role of their sexual orientation/gender identity in choosing to begin the substance use. This research is particularly important, as in Greece no research has been conducted that focuses on the quality characteristics and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community in combination with substance use and risk factors. Efforts will also be made to raise proposals for raising public and mental health professionals awareness, including in education prevention policies, and human rights policy-making. For this purpose, 14 interviews were conducted with LGBTQ+ individuals who had experience in substance use. Through qualitative research and analysis, various factors emerge that seem to play a decisive role in substance use, in relation to the family and the self-perception of individuals regarding their LGTBQ+ identity, but their general experience from awareness to acceptance of themselves in society.

description: Based on Holler (1982) and Armijos-Toro et al. (2021) we propose two power indices to measure the influence of the players in the class of weighted majority games in partition function form. We compare these new power indices with their original versions on the class of games in characteristic function form. Finally, we use both pairs of power indices for games in partition function form to study the distribution of power in the National Assembly of Ecuador that emerged after the elections of February 7, 2021.

The decay rates of these rare processes are sensitive to contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. One event survives all our selection requirements,consistent with the background expectation. We derive branching ratio limits of BR(Bs->mu+mu-) < 5.8 x 10^-7 and BR(Bd->mu+mu-) < 1.5 x 10^-7 at 90% confidence level.

description: The article traces the collective term “living history” in its various definitions, forms and manifestations, offering an overview of this widespread phenomenon. It will consider developments in the United States and Europe, as well as taking a look at historical precursors of present-day forms. Whereas living history in the Anglo-American world has long been a well-established part of the educational and cultural work of museums, in Germany there is still a great deal of skepticism towards this form of historical representation. Finally, it asks how the fields of history and cultural studies might best engage with living history and which theoretical approaches exist for investigating and analyzing living history.

description: Within an improved transport model, we examine effects of the high momentum tail of the nucleon momentum distribution induced by short-range correlations on the proton-proton momentum correlation function in $^{197}$Au+$^{197}$Au collisions at 400 MeV/nucleon. It is found that the proton-proton momentum correlation function from preequilibrium emissions responds sensitively to the presence as well as fraction of nucleons in the high momentum tail of the nucleon momentum distribution, but is almost robustly insensitive to other factors including the symmetry energy and the uncertainty of cutoff value of nucleon effective high momentum. In terms of the sensitivity and clearness, we propose that the proton-proton momentum correlation function from preequilibrium emissions can be as an effective probe of the high momentum tail of the nucleon momentum distribution.

description: We present spectroscopic determinations of the effective temperatures, surface gravities and metallicities for 21 M-dwarfs observed at high-resolution (R $\sim$ 22,500) in the \textit{H}-band as part of the SDSS-IV APOGEE survey. The atmospheric parameters and metallicities are derived from spectral syntheses with 1-D LTE plane parallel MARCS models and the APOGEE atomic/molecular line list, together with up-to-date H$_{2}$O and FeH molecular line lists. Our sample range in $T_{\rm eff}$ from $\sim$ 3200 to 3800K, where eleven stars are in binary systems with a warmer (FGK) primary, while the other 10 M-dwarfs have interferometric radii in the literature. We define an $M_{K_{S}}$--Radius calibration based on our M-dwarf radii derived from the detailed analysis of APOGEE spectra and Gaia DR2 distances, as well as a mass-radius relation using the spectroscopically-derived surface gravities. A comparison of the derived radii with interferometric values from the literature finds that the spectroscopic radii are slightly offset towards smaller values, with $Δ$ = -0.01 $\pm$ 0.02 $R{\star}$/$R_{\odot}$. In addition, the derived M-dwarf masses based upon the radii and surface gravities tend to be slightly smaller (by $\sim$5-10\%) than masses derived for M-dwarf members of eclipsing binary systems for a given stellar radius. The metallicities derived for the 11 M-dwarfs in binary systems, compared to metallicities obtained for their hotter FGK main-sequence primary stars from the literature, shows excellent agreement, with a mean difference of [Fe/H](M-dwarf - FGK primary) = +0.04 $\pm$ 0.18 dex, confirming the APOGEE metallicity scale derived here for M-dwarfs.

description: We study the effect of rapid quench to zero temperature in a model with competing interactions, evolving through conserved spin dynamics. In a certain regime of model parameters, we find that the model belongs to the broader class of kinetically constrained models, however, the dynamics is different from that of a glass. The system shows stretched exponential relaxation with the unusual feature that the relaxation time diverges as a power of the system size. Explicitly, we find that the spatial correlation function decays as $\exp(-2r/\sqrt{L})$ as a function of spatial separation $r$ in a system with $L$ sites in steady state, while the temporal auto-correlation function follows $\exp(-(t/τ_L)^{1/2})$, where $t$ is the time and $τ_L$ proportional to $L$. In the coarsening regime, after time $t_w$, there are two growing length scales, namely $\mathcal{L}(t_w) \sim t_w^{1/2}$ and $\mathcal{R}(t_w) \sim t_w^{1/4}$; the spatial correlation function decays as $\exp(-r/ \mathcal{R}(t_w))$. Interestingly, the stretched exponential form of the auto-correlation function of a single typical sample in steady state differs markedly from that averaged over an ensemble of initial conditions resulting from different quenches; the latter shows a slow power law decay at large times.

description: Previous analyses of a large ensemble of stock markets have demonstrated that a log-periodic power law (LPPL) behavior of the prices constitutes a qualifying signature of speculative bubbles that often land with a crash. We detect such a LPPL signature in the foreign capital inflow during the bubble on the US markets culminating in March 2000. We detect a weak synchronization and lag with the NASDAQ 100 LPPL pattern. We propose to rationalize these observations by the existence of positive feedback loops between market-appreciation / increased-spending / increased-deficit-of-balance-of-payment / larger-foreign-surplus / increased-foreign-capital-inflows and so on. Our analysis suggests that foreign capital inflow have been following rather than causing the bubble. We then combine a macroeconomic analysis of feedback processes occurring between the economy and the stock market with a technical analysis of more than two hundred years of the DJIA to investigate possible scenarios for the future, three years after the end of the bubble and deep into a bearish regime. We also detect a LPPL accelerating bubble on the EURO against the US dollar and the Japanese Yen. In sum, our analyses is in line with our previous work on the LPPL ``anti-bubble'' representing the bearish market that started in 2000.

A Case for Secondary School Polytechnic Education
Creators: name: Erickson, Bryan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: In the 21st century urban learning environment, where digital technology is relatively inexpensive and access to information virtually limitless, can shop class still be relevant? I believe the answer is yes, more so now than ever before. Newer curriculum emphasizes competencies over content. Memorization and standardized testing are becoming less consequential to universal skills. There is growing interest in Maker culture and STEM/STEAM educational tracts. However, urban secondary students are largely fixated on traditional academics, rote learning, and the easiest path to an “A” grade. Government educational policies and post-secondary schools are not dissuading this line of thinking. Polytechnic courses have traditionally been appreciated as an educational resource, providing practical vocational skills to benefit ‘weaker academic students’ in preparation for a potential future career in trades or factory work. These courses are typically viewed as merely hands-on classes where you get dirty and make stuff. Nothing could be further from the truth; these antiquated stereotypical perceptions conceal the benefits. When taught accordingly, polytechnic courses are rich in learning outcomes. Whether a project is assigned or more inquiry-driven, students are required to use creative thinking, critical thinking and problem solving skills. Polytechnic projects encourage students to be organized and able to manage necessary steps and sequences in a set timeframe, demanding the absolute attention of a student to be mindful and work safely in the organized chaos of the workshop classroom. Polytechnic courses are not a panacea to student cognitive skill development in education. They are and continue to be, however, under utilized venues for empowering students with individual agency, expanding various skills and minds to be better prepared for life and countless future career paths.

description: In the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, we study the production of Higgs bosons at the Large Hadron Collider via cascade decays of scalar quarks and gluinos. We focus on the cascades involving heavier charginos and neutralinos, which decay into the neutral $h,A,H$ and charged $H^\pm$ bosons and lighter charginos and neutralinos, but we will also discuss direct decays of third--generation squarks into their lighter partners and Higgs bosons as well as top quark decays into $H^\pm$ bosons. We show that the production rates of relatively light Higgs bosons, $M_Φ\lsim 250$ GeV, via these mechanisms can be rather large in some areas of the parameter space. Performing a fast detector simulation analysis that takes into account the signals and the various backgrounds, we show that the detection of the neutral Higgs bosons through their decays into $b\bar{b}$ pairs, and of the charged Higgs particles through the $τ^\pm ν$ signature, is possible at the LHC.

description: Mathematical models and numerical simulations are widely used in the field of hemodynamics, representing a valuable resource to better understand physiological and pathological processes. The theory behind the phenomenon is closely related to the study of incompressible flow through compliant thin-walled tubes. The mechanical interaction between blood flow and vessel wall must be properly described by the model. Recent works show the benefits of characterizing the rheology of the vessel wall through a viscoelastic law. Considering the viscous contribution of the wall material and not simply the elastic one leads to a more realistic representation of the vessel behavior, which manifests not only an instantaneous elastic strain but also a viscous damping effect on pulse pressure waves, coupled to energy losses. The aim of this work is to propose an easily extensible 1D mathematical model able to accurately capture the FSI. The originality lies in the introduction of a viscoelastic tube law in PDE form, valid for both arterial and venous networks, leading to an augmented FSI system. In contrast to well established mathematical models, the proposed one is natively hyperbolic. The model is solved with a 2nd-order numerical scheme based on an IMEX RK scheme conceived for applications to hyperbolic systems with stiff relaxation terms. The validation of the model is performed on different tests. Results obtained in Riemann problems, adopting a simple elastic tube law for the characterization of the vessel wall, are compared with available exact solutions. To validate the contribution given by the viscoelastic term, the Method of Manufactured Solutions is applied. Specific tests are designed to verify the well-balancing and the AP property of the scheme. A specific test with an inlet pulse pressure wave is designed to assess the effects of viscoelasticity.

description: We introduce {\em quadri-tilings} and show that they are in bijection with dimer models on a {\em family} of graphs $\{R^*\}$ arising from rhombus tilings. Using two height functions, we interpret a sub-family of all quadri-tilings, called {\em triangular quadri-tilings}, as an interface model in dimension 2+2. Assigning "critical" weights to edges of $R^*$, we prove an explicit expression, only depending on the local geometry of the graph $R^*$, for the minimal free energy per fundamental domain Gibbs measure; this solves a conjecture of \cite{Kenyon1}. We also show that when edges of $R^*$ are asymptotically far apart, the probability of their occurrence only depends on this set of edges. Finally, we give an expression for a Gibbs measure on the set of {\em all} triangular quadri-tilings whose marginals are the above Gibbs measures, and conjecture it to be that of minimal free energy per fundamental domain.

description: Introduction: Guidelines recommend that, where possible, clinicians convey HIV-positive test results in person in Australia. However, HIV-negative and all other STI results are routinely delivered by phone or text message. Requesting individuals to obtain positive HIV test results in person could be a deviation from the standard delivery of healthcare and be interpreted as indicating a positive HIV diagnosis. Methods: This paper is based on two related, ongoing qualitative studies conducted in Australia with HIV healthcare providers and people recently diagnosed with HIV. In study one, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with people who had recently received a positive HIV diagnosis. In study two, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with HIV healthcare and peer support providers. Interviews were analyzed thematically. Results: While clinicians were willing to convey HIV-positive diagnoses by phone, most preferred in-person delivery. In-person delivery enabled clinicians to assess visual cues to better respond to the psychological and emotional needs of patients. For some participants living with HIV, however, the requirement to return to the clinic was interpreted as an unofficial HIV-positive diagnosis. This led to a period in which recently diagnosed participants believed they were HIV-positive without having received an explicit diagnosis. Conclusion: Protocols for delivering HIV diagnoses by phone, followed by a face-to-face appointment, may reduce the period of anxiety for some patients and assist with an early connection to HIV care and support. Policy Implications: In some instances, conveying HIV diagnoses by phone may be more appropriate than recalling individuals to the clinic to deliver a positive HIV diagnosis in person.

description: We describe results of computer simulations of steady state heat transport in a fluid of hard discs undergoing both elastic interparticle collisions and velocity randomizing collisions which do not conserve momentum. The system consists of N discs of radius r in a unit square, periodic in the y-direction and having thermal walls at x = 0 with temperature T0 taking values from 1 to 20 and at x = 1 with T1 = 1. We consider different values of the ratio between randomizing and interparticle collision rates and extrapolate results from different N, to N->infinity, r->0 such that rho=1/2. We find that in the (extrapolated) limit N->infinity, the systems local density and temperature profiles are those of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and obey Fourier's law. The variance of global quantities, such as the total energy, deviates from its local equilibrium value in a form consistent with macroscopic fluctuation theory.

description: The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has precisely determined the total active (nu_x) 8B solar neutrino flux without assumptions about the energy dependence of the nu_e survival probability. The measurements were made with dissolved NaCl in the heavy water to enhance the sensitivity and signature for neutral-current interactions. The flux is found to be 5.21 +/- 0.27 (stat) +/- 0.38 (syst) x10^6 cm^{-2}s^{-1}, in agreement with previous measurements and standard solar models. A global analysis of these and other solar and reactor neutrino results yields Delta m^{2} = 7.1^{+1.2}_{-0.6}x10^{-5} ev^2 and theta = 32.5^{+2.4}_{-2.3} degrees. Maximal mixing is rejected at the equivalent of 5.4 standard deviations.

Optical conductivity in non-equilibrium d-wave superconductors

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the optical conductivity of a d-wave BCS superconductor in the presence of a non-equilibrium distribution of excess quasiparticles. Two different simplified models used in the past for the s-wave case are considered and results compared. In the $T^\ast$-model of Parker the excess quasiparticles are assumed to be in a thermal distribution at some temperature $T^\ast$ larger than the equilibrium sample temperature. In the $μ^\ast$- model of Owen and Scalapino a chemical potential is introduced to accommodate the excess quasiparticles. Some of the results obtained are specific to the model, most are qualitatively similar in both.

description: Fermionic atoms in an optical superlattice can realize a very peculiar Anderson lattice model in which impurities interact with each other through a discretized set of delocalized levels. We investigate the interplay between Kondo effect and magnetism under these finite-size features. We find that Kondo effect can dominate over magnetism depending on the parity of the number of particles per discretized set. We show how Kondo-induced resonances of measurable size can be observed through the atomic interference pattern.

description: Στόχο της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας αποτελεί η παρουσίαση τόσο του ευρωπαϊκού όσο και του ελληνικού νομικού πλαισίου της δήμευσης περιουσιακών στοιχείων, ενός πολύτιμου “εργαλείου” στην προσπάθεια ανάκτησης εγκληματικών εσόδων και πρόληψης τέλεσης νέων εγκλημάτων. Εκκινώντας από τις ρυθμίσεις που θέτει ο ευρωπαίος νομοθέτης με την Οδηγία 2014/42/ΕΕ και τις επιμέρους μορφές δήμευσης (κλασική δήμευση, δήμευση χωρίς καταδίκη, εκτεταμένη δήμευση και δήμευση εις χείρας τρίτου), ασκείται κριτική σε αυτές που παραβιάζουν θεμελιώδεις αρχές και δικαιώματα, όπως είναι το τεκμήριο αθωότητας και η αρχή της ενοχής, με παράλληλη επισκόπηση της νομολογίας του ΕΔΔΑ. Στη συνέχεια αναλύεται το εθνικό νομικό πλαίσιο της δήμευσης, οι αδυναμίες που εμφανίζουν οι σχετικές ρυθμίσεις καθώς και το επίπεδο της εναρμόνισης του έλληνα νομοθέτη στις ευρωπαϊκές επιταγές. Τέλος, επιχειρείται μια κριτική αξιολόγηση του πρόσφατου Κανονισμού (EE) 2018/1805 για την αμοιβαία αναγνώριση των αποφάσεων δέσμευσης και δήμευσης, στόχο του οποίου αποτελεί η αποτελεσματικότερη συνεργασία μεταξύ των κρατών μελών της Ένωσης, και των βασικών καινοτομιών που αυτός εισάγει.
description: The aim of the present thesis is to present the European and Greek legal framework of confiscation of criminal assets, a useful implement in the asset recovery effort and the prevention of commiting new crimes. Starting from the European legislator’s provisions in the Directive (EU) 2014/42 and the several types of confiscation (classic confiscation, non-conviction-based confiscation, extended confiscation and third party confiscation), the ones that violate fundamental principles like the presumption of innocence and the principle of guilt, are critically examined. Consequently, the author of the thesis assesses the greek legal framework of confiscation and its weaknesses, as well as the harmonization of the greek legislator to the european commands. Finally, an attempt is made to critically evaluate the new Regulation 2018/1805 (EU) about mutual recognition of confiscation orders, which aims for effective cooperation between the member states of the European Union and the main novelties introduced by the Regulation.
A Study on Wrist Identification for Forensic Investigation

description: Criminal and victim identification based on crime scene images is an important part of forensic investigation. Criminals usually avoid identification by covering their faces and tattoos in the evidence images, which are taken in uncontrolled environments. Existing identification methods, which make use of biometric traits, such as vein, skin mark, height, skin color, weight, race, etc., are considered for solving this problem. The soft biometric traits, including skin color, gender, height, weight and race, provide useful information but not distinctive enough. Veins and skin marks are limited to high resolution images and some body sites may neither have enough skin marks nor clear veins. Terrorists and rioters tend to expose their wrists in a gesture of triumph, greeting or salute, while paedophiles usually show them when touching victims. However, wrists were neglected by the biometric community for forensic applications. In this paper, a wrist identification algorithm, which includes skin segmentation, key point localization, image to template alignment, large feature set extraction, and classification, is proposed. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on NTU-Wrist-Image-Database-v1, which consists of 3945 images from 731 different wrists, including 205 pairs of wrist images collected from the Internet, taken under uneven illuminations with different poses and resolutions. The experimental results show that wrist is a useful clue for criminal and victim identification. Keywords: biometrics, criminal and victim identification, forensics, wrist.
Measuring White Dwarf Accretion Rates via their Effective Temperatures

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Our previous theoretical study of the impact of an accreting envelope on the thermal state of an underlying white dwarf (WD) has yielded equilibrium core temperatures, classical nova ignition masses and thermal luminosities for WDs accreting at time averaged rates of = 10^-11 - 10^-8 Msun/yr. These 's are appropriate to WDs in cataclysmic variables (CVs) of P_orb predicted for CV's as they transit the period gap. For DN below the period gap, we show that if is that given by gravitational radiation losses alone, then the WD masses are > 0.8 Msun. An alternative conclusion is that the masses are closer to 0.6 Msun and is 3-4 times larger than that expected from gravitational radiation losses. In either case, it is very plausible that a subset of CVs with P_orb < 2 hours will have T_eff's low enough for them to become non-radial pulsators, as discovered by van Zyl and collaborators in GW Lib.

description: This special issue of theReview of Agricultural, Food and EnvironmentalStudiessets out to describe the social logics that enable consumers to manage theirrestrictions and resources, leading them to multimodal provisioning practices. Althoughit has become common to make use of multiple suppliers for food provisioning, theseplaces of commodification differ depending on each person’s restrictions. The fivearticles in this issue make important contributions on this point. In the first section ofthis introduction, we examine the way in which consumers mobilise these differentsuppliers, integrating different practices to authenticate foods. In the second section, welook at the complementarity of the disciplines and methods of this issue’sauthors,whoshare the same comprehensive approach. They pay special attention not only to themeaning consumers give to their provisioning but also to its material aspects, which weanalyse in the third section. Lastly, we return to the way in which all these studiesincorporate politics, economics and social aspects when analysing the commodificationand decommodification occurring in today’s food provisioning.

description: We introduce a straightforward, single-ensemble, path sampling approach to calculate free energy differences based on Jarzynski's relation. For a two-dimensional ``toy'' test system, the new (minimally optimized) method performs roughly one hundred times faster than either optimized ``traditional'' Jarzynski calculations or conventional thermodynamic integration. The simplicity of the underlying formalism suggests the approach will find broad applicability in molecular systems.

description: In this manuscript we provide an exact solution to the maxmin problem max ||Ax|| subject to ||Bx||<= 1, where A and B are real matrices. This problem comes from a remodeling of max ||Ax|| subject to min ||Bx||, because the latter problem has no solution. Our mathematical method comes from the Abstract Operator Theory, whose strong machinery allows us to reduce the first problem to max parallel to Cx parallel to subject to parallel to x parallel to <= 1, which can be solved exactly by relying on supporting vectors. Finally, as appendices, we provide two applications of our solution: first, we construct a truly optimal minimum stored-energy Transcranian Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) coil, and second, we find an optimal geolocation involving statistical variables
