description: The present thesis examines the distinct cultural responses in American and European literature with regard to the collective and individual trauma that was brought about by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The works Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer and The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Moshin Hamid are used as a reference corpus for the purpose of conducting a comparative analysis between the American and European literature respectively. The thesis employs theories of cultural memory, public discourse and psychogeography to consider the evolution of individual and social identity in both the United States and Europe at the dawn of the War on Terror era

description: The isospin doublet scalar field with hypercharge 3/2 is introduced in some new physics models such as tiny neutrino masses. Detecting the doubly charged scalar bosons from the doublet field can be a good probe of such models. However, their collider phenomenology has not been examined sufficiently. We investigate collider signatures of the doubly and singly charged scalar bosons at the LHC for the high-luminosity upgraded option (HL-LHC) by looking at transverse mass distributions etc. With the appropriate kinematical cuts we demonstrate the background reduction in the minimal model in the following two cases depending on the mass of the scalar bosons. (1) The main decay mode of the singly charged scalar bosons is the tau lepton and missing (as well as charm and strange quarks). (2) That is into a top bottom pair. In the both cases, we assume that the doubly charged scalar boson is heavier than the singly charged ones. We conclude that the scalar doublet field with $Y = 3/2$ is expected to be detectable at the HL-LHC unless the mass is too large.

description: Recommender system recommends interesting items to users based on users' past information history. Researchers have been paying attention to improvement of algorithmic performance such as MAE and precision@K. Major techniques such as matrix factorization and learning to rank are optimized based on such evaluation metrics. However, the intrinsic Matthew Effect problem poses great threat to the fairness of the recommender system, and the unfairness problem cannot be resolved by optimization of traditional metrics. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm that incorporates Matthew Effect reduction with the matrix factorization framework. We demonstrate that our approach can boost the fairness of the algorithm and enhances performance evaluated by traditional metrics.

description: This Master thesis research was completed at the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry, at the Department of Chemistry of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Main goal of this scientific research was the design and study of a synthetic plan that would lead to the efficient total synthesis of natural product Chabrolonaphthoquinone B. In the introductory part, some general information about terpenes, terpenoids and meroterpenoids are being given, followed by the presentation of some terpenoid metabolites that have been isolated from the sponges of Nephthea species that show interesting biological activity, including Chabrolonaphthoquinone B. Then, extensive analysis of Chabrolonaphthoquinone B is followed by the presentation of a potential retrosynthetic plan, which could eventually lead to the synthesis of this natural product by simple starting materials like methyl-p-benzoquinone, myrcene and geraniol. The main part of the study contains all the synthetic schemes that were designed and followed step by step, including the problems faced and troubleshooting, for the efficient synthesis of the precursor compounds needed in order to successfully synthetize Chabrolonaphthoquinone B. In the last part of this study, all the experimental procedures are described with every detail. Also, the spectral data of all the compounds synthetized are being given, whereas all references are listed at the last pages of this manuscript.

description: In order to analyze the importance of the star formation rate in generating and amplifying magnetic fields in the interstellar medium we obtained deep total power and polarization maps at 4.85 GHz of three late type spiral galaxies NGC4236, NGC4656 and IC2574 using the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope. This was accompanied by imaging in the Halpha line. We also observed these objects at 1.4 GHz to obtain their integrated fluxes at this frequency and to determine their radio spectra. All galaxies were found to possess weak but detectable total power emission at 4.85 GHz, coincident with regions of recent star formation as traced by bright Halpha regions. The surface brightness of the radio-strongest object of our sample (NGC4656) is comparable to the radio-weakest objects in a sample of more than 50 normally star-forming spiral galaxies for which measurements at 4.8 GHz with the Effelsberg radio telescope are available. The fractional polarization of the 2 galaxies of our sample is less than 2%, significantly lower than for spiral galaxies of intermediate types, suggesting that the magnetic fields are not only weaker, but also less ordered than in spiral galaxies. The radio spectra of galaxies in our small sample are indicative of a substantial fraction of thermal emission, with a higher thermal fraction than in spirals with high star formation rates (SFR), while the nonthermal emission in our sample is relatively weak compared to spiral galaxies. We propose an equipartition model where the nonthermal emission increases ~SFR^(~1.4) and the ratio of nonthermal to thermal emission increases ~SFR^(~0.4). The objects of our sample still follow the radio-FIR correlation of surface brightness of the total emission, extending it towards the lowest values measured so far.

description: Ever since its dynamic entrance in the Greek book industry in the 80s, Latin American literature still maintains its intense impact on the reading audience and publishers and generates interest for further investigation, while at the same time it remains a major translation challenge for anyone attempting to render it into Greek. Within this framework, the distinct writing of Julio Cortázar along with his complicated —in terms of their translation— texts can form sufficient incentive for any translator intending to step into the universe of Cortázar and render part of his non-translated material. This holds true even more for a book as particular as Around the Day in Eighty Worlds which eradicates both the boundaries of genre classification and the role of the one and only —and omniscient— creator, as well as it minimizes the distance between author and reader as it establishes bonds of conspiracy and liberty between them. Thus, through this dissertation, we get the chance to discover and enter even a few of the “80 worlds” of Julio Cortázar.

description: Determining physically admissible boundary conditions for higher moments in an extended continuum model is recognised as a major obstacle. Boundary conditions for the regularised 26-moment (R26) equations obtained using Maxwell's accommodation model do exist in the literature; however, we show in this article that these boundary conditions violate the second law of thermodynamics and the Onsager reciprocity relations for certain boundary value problems, and, hence, are not physically admissible. We further prove that the linearised R26 (LR26) equations possess a proper $H$-theorem (second-law inequality) by determining a quadratic form without cross-product terms for the entropy density. The establishment of the $H$-theorem for the LR26 equations in turn leads to a complete set of boundary conditions that are physically admissible for all processes and comply with the Onsager reciprocity relations. As an application, the problem of a slow rarefied gas flow past a spherical droplet with and without evaporation is considered and solved analytically. The results are compared with the numerical solution of the linearised Boltzmann equation, experimental results from the literature and/or other macroscopic theories to show that the LR26 theory with the physically admissible boundary conditions provides an excellent prediction up to Knudsen number $\,\lesssim 1$ and, consequently, provides transpicuous insights into intriguing effects, such as thermal polarisation. In particular, the analytic results for the drag force obtained in the present work are in an excellent agreement with experimental results even for very large values of the Knudsen number.

description: In this article, we investigate the contribution of the high twist Feynman diagrams to the large-$p_T$ pion production cross section in proton-proton collisions and we present the general formulae for the high and leading twist differential cross sections. The pion wave function where two non-trivial Gegenbauer coefficients $a_2$ and $a_4$ have been extracted from the CLEO data, two other pion model wave functions, $P_2$, $P_3$, the asymptotic and the Chernyak-Zhitnitsky wave functions are used in the calculations. The results of all the calculations reveal that the high twist cross sections, the ratios $R$, $r$, the dependence transverse momentum $p_T$ and the rapidity $y$ of pion in the $Φ_{CLEO}(x,Q^2)$ wave function case is very close to the $Φ_{asy}(x)$ asymptotic wave function case. It is shown that the high twist contribution to the cross section depends on the choice of the meson wave functions.

Balancing privacy and data access: an interdisciplinary approach to markets for differentially-private smart meter data
Creators: name: Chhachhi, Saurab
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: Access to high-resolution smart meter data has many operational benefits for energy suppliers, network operators, and the energy system as a whole. However, access also raises privacy concerns, hindering the adoption of smart meters and the sharing of high-resolution smart meter data. This thesis addresses this dilemma by employing an interdisciplinary approach to designing a privacy-preserving data market mechanism for smart meter data as a means of balancing privacy and data access. The first research direction determines the design criteria of a data market for smart meter data. Specifically, we map the data dependence of benefits as well as the potential privacy infringements and risks associated with smart meter data. Data resolution, both spatial and temporal play a significant role in determining both benefits and privacy risks. We investigate consumers’ privacy concerns and their willingness-to-pay/accept for anonymisation through a novel survey and discrete choice experiment. Significant heterogeneity and endowment effects are observed with information asymmetries leading to depressed valuations for privacy protection. Finally, we assess the suitability of different privacy-preserving techniques for smart meter data, finding differential privacy to be a flexible, transparent, and easily integrated mechanism for ensuring privacy while allowing access to data. The second research direction develops a novel data market framework, using the design criteria determined in the first. A novel data valuation mechanism is developed based on the Wasserstein distance, which embodies the drivers of smart meter data value, including the privacy-utility trade-off induced by differential privacy. This is integrated into a novel procurement mechanism, developed using incentive mechanism design theory, which can model data buyers’ and consumers’ preferences, while preserving privacy. A joint energy and market is developed, which through case studies is shown to be a viable proposition to balance privacy and access to smart meter data, given our estimations of consumers’ willingness-to-accept.

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: The udkm1Dsim toolbox is a collection of Python classes and routines to simulate the thermal, structural, and magnetic dynamics after laser excitation as well as the according X-ray scattering response in one-dimensional sample structures. The toolbox provides the capabilities to define arbitrary layered structures on the atomic level including a rich database of element-specific physical properties. The excitation of dynamics is represented by an $N$-temperature-model which is commonly applied in ultrafast physics. Structural dynamics due to thermal stresses are calculated by a linear-chain model of masses and springs. The implementation of specific magnetic dynamics can be easily accomplished by the user employing a generalized magnetization interface class. The resulting X-ray diffraction response is computed by kinematical or dynamical X-ray theory which can also include polarization-dependent magnetic scattering. The udkm1Dsim toolbox is highly modular and allows for injecting user-defined inputs at any step within the simulation procedure.

The development of bilingualism in early childhood: Chinese parents’ attitudes, beliefs and family practice
Creators: name: Du, Ting
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: An exploratory study was conducted to examine what Chinese immigrant parents have thought and done in regard to their children’s bilingual development. An interview schedule was used to collect data from a total of 15 parents who have been selected from eight preschool and daycare settings in Vancouver. The multiple case study approach was used for analysing the results. The parents attached greater importance to or had higher expectations for their children’s speaking skills in Chinese (L 1) than their reading and writing skills in Li. Their motives for wishing their children to retain Li were given in the following order: personal/social motives, symbolic motives, intellectual motives, and instrumental motives. All of the parents ranked English (L2) learning for their children in all language skills very important. The instrumental motive played the most important role. All parents reported that there was a tendency for their children to use more and more L2 at home once they were in daycare. Upon this change, some parents responded to their children in L2 at home. It seems that these parents’ reactions depended on their children’s language proficiency in Li and L2. When their children’s Li was still good or their L2 was average or poor, these parents tended to take no action in helping their children retain Li and they hoped that their children would first learn L2 well. In addition, most parents reported that they had made an effort to help their children maintain Li. However, most of them met with difficulties in doing so. The main factor causing such difficulty was the English-speaking social environment. Furthermore, most parents perceived that the family environment was the main source for their children to learn Li. As for L2 learning, they thought that their children could learn it naturally from many sources such as schools, friends and TV. Though not very conclusive, there was an indication in this study that the presence of monolingual grandparents and home country visits were two factors in helping children maintain Li.

Our results are used to study the higher-order behaviour of dimensionless ratios of vector and pseudo-scalar moments used for the precise extraction of the strong coupling, $α_s$, from relativistic quarkonium sum rules and lattice data, respectively. We show that these ratios benefit from a partial cancellation of the leading renormalon singularities. Our results can guide the design of combinations of moments with improved perturbative behaviour.

description: Measuring the thermal conductivity of sub-surface buried substrates are of significant practical interests. However, this remains challenging with traditional pump-probe spectroscopies due to their limited thermal penetration depths (TPD). Here, we experimentally and numerically investigate the TPD of recently developed optical pump-probe technique steady-state thermoreflectance (SSTR) and explore its capability for measuring the thermal properties of buried substrates. The conventional definition of the TPD does not truly represent the upper limit of how far beneath the surface SSTR can probe. For estimating the uncertainty of SSTR measurements of a buried substrate a priori, sensitivity calculations provide the best means. Thus, detailed sensitivity calculations are provided to guide future measurements. Due to the steady-state nature of SSTR, it can measure the thermal conductivity of buried substrates typically inaccessible by traditional pump-probe techniques, exemplified by measuring three control samples. We also discuss the required criteria for SSTR to isolate the thermal properties of a buried film. Our study establishes SSTR as a suitable technique for thermal characterizations of sub-surface buried substrates in typical device geometries.

This analysis is complete at next-to-next-to-leading order and includes the full resummation of logarithms at next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy and some partial contributions at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. Compared with fixed-order computations at next-to-next-to-leading order the scale dependence and convergence of the perturbative series is greatly improved for both the position of the peak and the normalization of the total cross section. Nevertheless, we identify a possible source of large scale dependence in the result. At present we estimate the remaining theoretical uncertainty of the normalization of the total cross section to be of the order of 10% and for the position of the peak of the order of 100 MeV.

description: We use a characterization of the fractional Laplacian as a Dirichlet to Neumann operator for an appropriate differential equation to study its obstacle problem. We write an equivalent characterization as a thin obstacle problem. In this way we are able to apply local type arguments to obtain sharp regularity estimates for the solution and study the regularity of the free boundary.

description: Tensor Networks are non-trivial representations of high-dimensional tensors, originally designed to describe quantum many-body systems. We show that Tensor Networks are ideal vehicles to connect quantum mechanical concepts to machine learning techniques, thereby facilitating an improved interpretability of neural networks. This study presents the discrimination of top quark signal over QCD background processes using a Matrix Product State classifier. We show that entanglement entropy can be used to interpret what a network learns, which can be used to reduce the complexity of the network and feature space without loss of generality or performance. For the optimisation of the network, we compare the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) algorithm to stochastic gradient descent (SGD) and propose a joined training algorithm to harness the explainability of DMRG with the efficiency of SGD.

description: Η φωνολογική επίγνωση αποτελεί βασική δεξιότητα του ατόμου, η οποία βρίσκεται άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένη με την αναγνωστική ικανότητα. Έτσι, η μη κατάκτησή της, έχει ως συνέπεια την εμφάνιση προβλημάτων στην ικανότητα ανάγνωσης ενώ η παρέμβαση του εκπαιδευτικού κρίνεται αναγκαία. Πολλές τεχνικές μπορούν να εφαρμοσθούν για την επίτευξη αυτή, ωστόσο, η ομαδοσυνεργατική παρέμβαση κρίνεται μια από τις καταλληλότερες πρακτικές που μπορεί να συμβάλλει προς την κατάκτηση της φωνολογικής επίγνωσης του μαθητή και κατά συνέπεια την αναγνωστική δεξιότητα. Η παρούσα μελέτη αποτελεί μια μελέτη περίπτωσης παιδιού που παρουσιάζει μαθησιακές δυσκολίες αναγνωστικής ικανότητας ενώ περιλαμβάνει την αξιολόγηση του μαθητή μέσω του ψυχομετρικού εργαλείου Λατ-ω ΙΙ αλλά και τη διεξαγωγή συνέντευξης αλλά και συμπλήρωση ερωτηματολογίου για την άντληση στοιχείων από τον εκπαιδευτικό καθώς και την παρατήρηση του μαθητή. Στη συνέχεια, ακολουθεί η παρέμβαση μέσω της ομαδοσυνεργατικής διδασκαλίας αλλά και η δεύτερη φάση της αξιολόγησης όπου ο μαθητής θα αξιολογηθεί ξανά μέσω του ψυχομετρικού κριτηρίου Λατ-ω ΙΙ ενώ θα επαναληφθεί η παρατήρηση του μαθητή και η εφαρμογή της συνέντευξης και το ερωτηματολογίου με τον καθηγητή μετά από την εφαρμογή της ομαδοσυνεργατικής παρέμβασης. Τελικά, η παρέμβαση στέφθηκε με επιτυχία ενώ ο μαθητής κατάφερε να ξεπεράσει τις βασικές δυσκολίες που αντιμετώπιζε στην ανάγνωση
description: Phonological awareness is one of the basic abilities, that is inseperable from the reading ability. So, the absence of this ability leads to a number of problems related to reading ability and the intervention of the teacher seems to be needed. A lot of educational practices could be done so as to deal with the problems, although, cooperative learning seems to be the best practice that could face the phonological problems and improve reading ability. This study consists of one case study of a child that faces learning disabilities that are related to the ability of reading. So, it provides an evaluation of the child with the psychometric test Λατ-ω ΙΙ and also an interview with the teacher and a questionnaire so as to derive informations of him about the problems of the student. Furthermore, after the subsequent intervention, the second part of the evaluation takes part, where the student is evaluated with Λατ-ω ΙΙ and the interview with the teacher and the questionnaire are conducted again. Finally, the intervention seems to be succesfull and the student exceeded his reading problems

description: We argue that long-range photon-photon attraction induced by the dipole interaction of two electron-positron loops can lead to "vacuum self-focussing" of very intense laser beams. The focussing angle theta(F) is found to increase with the beam intensity I as theta(F) I^(4/3); for the laser beams available at present or in the near future, theta(F) 10^(-10)--10^(-7).

The influence of emotional salience and age on a laboratory measure of prospective memory
Creators: name: Rendell, Peter Gregory
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University

description: Emotional factors have been found to be an important influence on memory. The current study investigated the influence of emotional salience and age on a laboratory measure of prospective memory (PM) using Virtual Week. Virtual Week is a laboratory based test of prospective memory that simulates a week of activities in a computerised board game format. This includes simulated activities that require participants to carry out prospective memory tasks. They are scored on completion and timeliness. Thirty young and thirty old adults completed Virtual Week, in which the emotional salience of the tasks at encoding was manipulated to be positive, negative or neutral in content. Background data includes age, gender, years of education, self rated health, depression scale (HADS), dementia scale screening (ACER), vocabulary test score (Mill Hill) and general mental ability test (Raven). For event-based, but not time-based tasks, positivity enhancement in both age groups was seen, with a greater number of positive PM tasks being performed relative to neutral tasks. There was no negativity enhancement effect. Older adults showed generally poorer levels of PM, but they also demonstrated greater beneficial effects of positive valence compared to young. These effects of emotion on PM accuracy do not appear to reflect the retrospective component of the task as a different pattern of emotion effects was seen on the recall of PM content. Results indicate that older adults’ difficulties in prospective remembering can be reduced where the tasks to be remembered are positive. Primary data, experimental data. SPSS files

description: Σκοπός της εργασίας ήταν η ανάδειξη του τρόπου με τον οποίο η σεξουαλικότητα και ο πόλεμος διαμόρφωσαν το πνεύμα του μοντερνισμού μελετώντας κείμενα διαφορετικού ύφους και τεχνικής γραφής. Μελετήσαμε αρχικά τη σχέση του μοντερνισμού με την ελεύθερη έκφραση της σεξουαλικότητας και το πώς αυτή αποτυπώνεται σε μοντερνιστικά μυθιστορήματα, δίνοντας έμφαση στον τρόπο γραφής και αφήγησης. Επίσης, παρουσιάσαμε στοιχεία θεωρίας σχετικά με τις τεχνικές αναπαράστασης της συνείδησης στο μυθιστόρημα, όπως τα συστηματοποιούν η Dorrit Cohn και η Μαρία Κακαβούλια. Στη συνέχεια, μελετήσαμε το διαφορετικό τρόπο αναπαράστασης της σεξουαλικότητας στα δύο μυθιστορήματα, με παράθεση αποσπασμάτων και σχολιασμό των αφηγηματικών τεχνικών που χρησιμοποιούνται. Ακόμη ασχοληθήκαμε αναλυτικά με τη θέση που κατέχει στα μυθιστορήματα αυτά ο Α΄ Παγκόσμιος Πόλεμος. Τέλος, παρουσιάσαμε συγκριτικά τα στοιχεία ομοιότητας και διαφοράς των μυθιστορημάτων ως προς τη μορφή της αφήγησης όσο και ως προς τις επιμέρους θεματικές τους
description: The aim of the present thesis was to highlight the way sexuality and war shaped the spirit of modernity by studying texts of different style and technical writing. The primary object of the thesis was the relationship of modernity with the free manifestation of sexuality and how it is depicted in modernist novels, with a special focus on the modes of writing and narrative. The thesis presented elements of theory on consciousness techniques in the novel, as Dorrit Cohn and Maria Kakavoulia systemize them. Another point of discussion was the way of representing sexuality in the two novels, with specific references to the two novels and a discussion of the narrative techniques used in the two texts. Finally, the thesis focused on the place World War I occupied in these novels. The two novels were discussed comparatively in terms of their narrative form as well as the individual themes mentioned above
Investigating the structure of wild-type and HP1-bound human chromatin by cryoEM
Creators: name: Ellins, Jessica
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: In the field of chromatin biology, there are still many unknowns in regards to the true higher-order structure of chromatin. One of the main models is the ‘two-start’ model, suggesting an open zig-zag structure of parallel nucleosome stacks twists into a helical 30-nm fiber. With advancements in cryo-EM, we are in a position to solve high-resolution chromatin structures to investigate this model further. An understanding of wild-type unmodified chromatin structure is essential for elucidating the role of various chromatin regulatory proteins. Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) is a major player in regulating heterochromatin formation and repressing gene expression, and is heavily implicated in disease. In this project, we utilised biochemical and structural biology techniques to elucidate structures of 12-nucleosome arrays under physiological salt conditions. Wild-type arrays demonstrated a flat structure of two parallel nucleosome stacks, with a high degree of flexibility. Addition of HP1 isoforms to nucleosome arrays revealed differences between the three human isoforms, suggesting different roles in vivo. Structural studies have suggested that HP1α promotes stabilisation of the twisted form of the 12-mer array. Overall this project has opened several exciting avenues for future studies and provided vital insight into chromatin structure at the most fundamental level.

Cluster state quantum computation in coupled cavity arrays

description: Measurement-based quantum computation has revolutionized quantum information processing, and the physical systems with which it can be implemented. One simply needs the ability to prepare a particular state, known as the cluster state, and subsequently to perform single-qubit measurements on it. Nevertheless, a scalable implementation is yet to be realized. Here we propose a hybrid light-matter system comprised of coupled cavities interacting with two level systems. Utilising the stable, individually addressable, qubits resulting from the localised long-lived atom-photon excitations, we demonstrate how to use the natural system dynamics to `weave' these qubits into a cluster state and propose the implementation of quantum algorithms employing just two rows of qubits. Finally, we briefly discuss the prospects for experimental implementation using atoms, quantum dots or Cooper pair boxes.
