The influence of cut-block size and adjacency rules on harvest levels and road networks
Creators: name: Finn, Steven Terence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Previous harvesting practices in coastal British Columbia generally favoured large opening sizes with relatively short regeneration periods before adjacent blocks were removed. These large openings were both criticized for being aesthetically unpleasing and for not providing a proper age class distribution for wildlife habitat. To combat these problems, smaller opening sizes with longer times between harvesting of adjacent blocks have been proposed. It is believed that smaller opening sizes and more rigid adjacency constraints will impact cutting levels and harvesting and transportation costs. An area-based scheduling model was developed between 1989 and 1991 which quantifies these impacts and provides a better understanding of the harvest levels and costs associated with different cut block sizes and adjacency constraints. The effect on the Annual Allowable Cut (AAC) due to block size and exclusion period showed that the delay period had a greater effect on the AAC than did block size. As the block size decreased while keeping the delay period constant, the reduction in AAC ranged from 6.0% to 23.5%. As the delay or exclusion period increased, adjacency constraints limited the number of blocks available for harvest and therefore reduced the harvest volume. Increasing the delay period from I to 2 and from I to 3 caused volumes to drop an average of 18.6% and 40% respectively. Increasing the delay period and decreasing the block size resulted in large reductions in harvest volume of up to 50%. Another effect of increasing the delay period and decreasing the block size is that a large number of blocks may never be harvested. Values ranged from 6.8% to 43.8% of blocks not eligible for harvesting. A stumpage calculation showed that there is a drastic difference in the amount of stumpage payable when comparing the different sized blocks and adjacency requirements. Values ranged from $119.7 million to $52.8 million, a reduction of nearly $67 million as the block size was decreased and the adjacency requirements increased.
The Vedic Background of the Buddhist Notions of Iddhi and Abhiññā
Creators: name: De Notariis, Bryan

Year: 2019

description:

This article begins with a brief introductory account of the vicissitudes of the academic studies on extraordinary capacities. Thereafter, the stereotyped passages in which iddhi and abhiññā occur as a meditative attainment achieved within a Buddhist path of liberation are presented and the interpretation of these two terms is discussed. After these preparatory opening remarks, the Vedic background of iddhi and abhiññā is treated with regards to three aspects. First, the speculative idea sustained by some scholars that would see the body made of mind (manomaya-kāya) as the base and tool to perform iddhis and abhiññās is discussed on the basis of the Vedic evidence. Secondly, the term ‘divine’ (dibba) which occurs in the description of some abhiññās is compared with the use of the corresponding Vedic terms and with the Vedic idea of a divine power behind the functioning of the faculties. Finally, the abhiññā called ‘the knowledge of degeneration and ascent of beings’ (cutūpapātañāṇa) is compared with a couple of narratives involving the oneiric state within the Upaniṣads, showing some similarities between the two accounts.

description: Τα δομικά υποσύνολα δοκού – υποστυλώματος – κόμβου αποτελούν τα σημαντικότερα δομικά στοιχεία των κτιρίων από οπλισμένο σκυρόδεμα, καθώς η αστοχία αυτών μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε κατάρρευση του κτιρίου ή μέρους αυτού, ιδιαίτερα όταν η κατασκευή είναι πλαισιωτή. Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετάται πειραματικά η σεισμική απόκριση τέτοιων δομικών υποσυνόλων. Συγκεκριμένα, σχεδιάζονται δύο δοκίμια μέσης κατηγορίας πλαστιμότητας και σύμφωνα με τους ισχύοντες Ευρωκώδικες 2 και 8. Τα δοκίμια ελέγχονται σύμφωνα με ένα νέο μοντέλο αποφυγής κατάρρευσης των κατασκευών του καθηγητού Τσώνου Αλέξανδρου – Δημήτριου. Με χρήση του μοντέλου υπολογίζονται με εξαιρετική ακρίβεια η τάση αστοχίας του κόμβου και η τάση του κόμβου στην αστοχία της δοκού και εντοπίζεται αν ο κόμβος αστοχεί ή όχι. Τόσο οι υπολογισμοί όσο και τα πειράματα, αποδεικνύουν ότι ακόμα και αν τα δομικά υποσύνολα σχεδιαστούν πλήρως με τους σύγχρονους κανονισμούς, δεν αποτρέπεται οπωσδήποτε η αστοχία του κόμβου.
description: The beam – column joints sub-assemblages are the most important structural elements of reinforced concrete buildings, because a failure of these can lead to total or partial building collapse, especially for frame structures. The present diploma thesis, investigates experimentally the seismic response of structural sub – assemblies. Specifically, there are designed two specimens of ductility class medium according to the applicable Eurocodes 2 and 8. The specimens are checked by a new model proposed by professor Alexander – Dimitrios Tsonos, to avoid collapse of structures. The model calculates the failure joint stress and the joint stress when the beam failures and predicts the failure of the joint. Both, calculations and experiments, proves that even if the structural sub – assemblies are fully designed with modern regulations, the joint failure is not necessarily avoided
Between Mughal Art, Ethnography and Realism

description:

Nicolò Manucci (or Manuzzi) (ca 1638-1720) is a well-known figure among scholars: a Venetian adventurer, artilleryman and doctor in Early Modern India. He was a dynamic man, who frequented for a long time both the Mughal courts and the European agents of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century trade companies, leaving meaningful testimonies of his age, and thus becoming an important (and controversial) historical source on South Asia. In spite of the celebrity gained by his biography and his work, Manucci’s role as European patron of Indian artists has been undervalued so far, with scholars often preferring to define him as a mere collector of works of Indian miniatures. Through an historic and artistic examination of his work, of other coeval works of art and contemporary sources, the aim of this paper is to show that Manucci was actually an important patron of Indian painting, a paradigmatic precursor of figurative didactic works mainly illustrated by (unfortunately anonymous) Indian artists under his guidance, and at the same time mediated by his bias and his culture, following an interesting and original hybrid format that bridges European figurative culture and Indian art.

description: We apply the Tremaine-Weinberg method to 19 nearby galaxies using stellar mass surface densities and velocities derived from the PHANGS-MUSE survey, to calculate (primarily bar) pattern speeds ($Ω_{\rm P}$). After quality checks, we find that around half (10) of these stellar mass-based measurements are reliable. For those galaxies, we find good agreement between our results and previously published pattern speeds, and use rotation curves to calculate major resonance locations (co-rotation radii and Lindblad resonances). We also compare these stellar-mass derived pattern speeds with H$α$ (from MUSE) and CO($J=2{-}1$) emission from the PHANGS-ALMA survey. We find that in the case of these clumpy ISM tracers, this method erroneously gives a signal that is simply the angular frequency at a representative radius set by the distribution of these clumps ($Ω_{\rm clump}$), and that this $Ω_{\rm clump}$ is significantly different to $Ω_{\rm P}$ ($\sim$20% in the case of H$α$, and $\sim$50% in the case of CO). Thus, we conclude that it is inadvisable to use "pattern speeds" derived from ISM kinematics. Finally, we compare our derived pattern speeds and co-rotation radii, along with bar properties, to the global parameters of these galaxies. Consistent with previous studies, we find that galaxies with a later Hubble type have a larger ratio of co-rotation radius to bar length, more molecular-gas rich galaxies have higher $Ω_{\rm P}$, and more bulge-dominated galaxies have lower $Ω_{\rm P}$. Unlike earlier works, however, there are no clear trends between the bar strength and $Ω_{\rm P}$, nor between the total stellar mass surface density and the pattern speed.

Ernesto De Martino’s theorization and the considerations on the ‘crisis of presence’ represent a milestone in the field of Religious Studies. The crisis reveals itself in the daily events of the human being, such as death. Starting from the methodological frames provided by de Martino’s studies on the lament in ancient world, and the recent attention dedicated to the bodies, this article will analyse one of the most famous episode of kāvya literature as translated by nineteenth-century Italian Indologist Giuseppe Turrini: King Aja’s lament (vilāpa) upon his wife Indumatī, and particularly the stanza of Raghuvaṃa 8.43. The Italian translation reveals some element related to the Western opposition between body and soul, which challenge the original attention paid by Kālidāsa and the ancient Greek literature to the physiological effects produced by suffering.

description: Lo scopo della dissertazione “Formazione e pratica del pensiero orchestrale di Hector Berlioz. Caratteri poetici e strategie del suono” è quello di indagare i tratti essenziali del pensiero di Berlioz in merito all’orchestra riprendendo in considerazione gli elementi della sua educazione giovanile. In particolare, le nozioni ricavate dai suoi insegnanti di composizione Le Sueur e Reicha e dai corsi di medicina brevemente frequentati a Parigi sono indagate con approccio rinnovato, alla luce di nuovi filoni di studio indagati dalla musicologia negli anni più recenti.
Sono analizzate anche le recensioni di Berlioz, alla ricerca di elementi che aiutino a comprendere la sua musica con le argomentazioni destinate a quella altrui.
È analizzato anche il percorso della trattatistica che da un iniziale approccio di tipo pratico tipico del XVIII secolo, giunge con il trattato di Berlioz a una forte connotazione poetica delle risorse strumentali e orchestrali.
Nella seconda parte della dissertazione sono analizzate invece alcune opere di Berlioz e alcune questioni generali concernenti il suo modo di scrivere per l’orchestra, specialmente in relazione ad altri parametri musicali.
Nella dissertazione notevole attenzione è data al rapporto fra questioni tecniche e poetiche, proponendo un approccio leggermente rinnovato.
description: The purpose of the dissertation “Development and practice of Hector Berlioz’s orchestral thought. Poetical features and sound strategies” is to investigate the main traits of Berlioz’s thinking about orchestra by reconsidering the elements of his early education. In particular, the notions acquired from his composition teachers Le Sueur and Reicha and from the medicine courses he briefly attended are examined with a renovated approach, in the light of new lines of study explored by musicology in recent years. Berlioz’s reviews are also analyzed, in the search of elements useful to understand his music through the arguments addressed to others’ music. The dissertation also examines the itinerary of theoretic music literature which, from an initial approach connoted by practice as it was typical in the 18th century,  reaches with Berlioz’s treaty a strong poetical connotation of instrumental and orchestral resources.
The second part of the dissertation deals with some of Berlioz’s works and with some general issues related to his way of writing for the orchestra, especially in relation to other musical parameters. In the whole discussion, sensible attention is put on the relation between technical and poetical issues, suggesting a quite renovated approach.
On the Fokker-Planck approximation in the kinetic equation of multicomponent classical nucleation theory

description: We examine the validity of the Fokker-Planck equation with linear force coefficients as an approximation to the kinetic equation of nucleation in homogeneous isothermal multicomponent condensation. Starting with a discrete equation of balance governing the temporal evolution of the distribution function of an ensemble of multicomponent droplets and reducing it (by means of Taylor series expansions) to the differential form in the vicinity of the saddle point of the free energy surface, we have identified the parameters whereof the smallness is necessary for the resulting kinetic equation to have the form of the Fokker-Planck equation with linear (in droplet variables) force coefficients. The "non-smallness" of these parameters results either in the appearance of the third or higher order partial derivatives of the distribution function in the kinetic equation or in its force coefficients becoming non-linear functions of droplet variables, or both; this would render the conventional kinetic equation of multicomponent nucleation and its predictions inaccurate. As a numerical illustration, we carried out calculations for isothermal condensation in five binary systems of various non-ideality at T=293.15 K: 1-butanol--1-hexanol, water--methanol, water--ethanol, water--1-propanol, water--1-butanol. Our results suggest that under typical experimental conditions the kinetic equation of binary nucleation of classical nucleation theory may require a two-fold modification and, hence, the conventional expression for the steady-state binary nucleation rate may not be adequate for the consistent comparison of theoretical predictions with experimental data.

description:

This study, which provides close readings of short stories written by 朱文 (1967-), Han Dong 韩东 (1961-) and Dong Xi (1966-), major exponents of a Nanjing-based group of writers called Duanlie 断裂 (Rupture), suggests that for these writers the body is represented in terms of human capital (suzhi 素质) in a way that resonates well with what the political scientist Crawford Brough Macpherson has defined as «possessive individualism». In fact, their characters’ individual private body is for them the most important capital as well as the primary object of self-investment; they owe nothing to society; they regard personal relations as market relations breaking free from traditional kinship bonds and, finally, they regard themselves as «proprietor of themselves». What these middle-class intellectuals introduce in their writings is the newly-born middle-class consumer willing to celebrate, as Paterson says, «carnivalesque consuming bodies celebrating popular pleasures, not of the mind, but of the body» (2005, 105).

description: We construct a global Lindblad master equation for a Kitaev quantum wire of finite length, weakly coupled to an arbitrary number of thermal baths, within the Born-Markov and secular approximations. We find that the coupling of an external bath to more than one lattice site generates quantum interference effects, arising from the possibility of fermions to tunnel through multiple paths. In the presence of two baths at different temperatures and/or chemical potentials, the steady-state particle current can be expressed through the Landauer-Büttiker formula, as in a ballistic transport setup, with the addition of an anomaly factor associated with the presence of the $p$-wave pairing in the Kitaev Hamiltonian. Such a factor is affected by the ground-state properties of the chain, being related to the finite-size equivalent of its Pfaffian topological invariant.

An approach to automated product valuing for a real-time value optimization system
Creators: name: Thomas, Ian Murray
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Uncertainties in timber supply are forcing forest product companies to search out ways of extracting greater economic benefit from the available forest resource. Secondary manufacturing is one area to which they are turning. Many of these secondary manufacturing operations employ rip-chop sawing systems to cut boards or slabs into custom size parts and improve quality by cutting out defects. In this thesis a methodology is developed for estimating product values and using these values to decide how to cut the boards. The goal is to maximize the total value produced over a production run while minimizing inventory and ensuring that customer orders are met on time. The method uses a linear programming model to estimate each product’s marginal value. It guides the chopsaw system towards a set of production targets by monitoring production and dynamically updating product prices. A singleboard- cut-up algorithm uses the product prices to decide where to cut. In a case study, this method recovered 95.6% of the maximum recoverable value of the production run, an 11.6% improvement over the current method used in the test mill. The method has the potential to improve the value recovery of rip-chop sawing systems, an important component of many secondary manufacturing operations. Increasing the value recovery will increase profitability and better utilize the available forest resource.

description: We demonstrate that the probability distribution of the net number of electrons passing through a quantum system in a junction obeys a steady-state fluctuation theorem (FT) which can be tested experimentally by the full counting statistics (FCS) of electrons crossing the lead-system interface. The FCS is calculated using a many-body quantum master equation (QME) combined with a Liouville space generating function (GF) formalism. For a model of two coupled quantum dots, we show that the FT becomes valid for long binning times and provide an estimate for the finite-time deviations. We also demonstrate that the Mandel (or Fano) parameter associated with the incoming or outgoing electron transfers show subpoissonian (antibunching) statistics.

description: Even simply-defined, finite-state generators produce stochastic processes that require tracking an uncountable infinity of probabilistic features for optimal prediction. For processes generated by hidden Markov chains the consequences are dramatic. Their predictive models are generically infinite-state. And, until recently, one could determine neither their intrinsic randomness nor structural complexity. The prequel, though, introduced methods to accurately calculate the Shannon entropy rate (randomness) and to constructively determine their minimal (though, infinite) set of predictive features. Leveraging this, we address the complementary challenge of determining how structured hidden Markov processes are by calculating their statistical complexity dimension -- the information dimension of the minimal set of predictive features. This tracks the divergence rate of the minimal memory resources required to optimally predict a broad class of truly complex processes.

description:

After illustrating the varied artistic production of the Kwanyin Clan, one of the most important Chinese graffiti crews, this paper analyses six of their main artworks in detail (styles, techniques, aesthetic conceptions and artworks texts). In these artworks, the Kwanyin Clan tried for the first time to merge Euro-American graffiti practice with the ancient traditional arts practiced and appreciated by the Chinese literati (calligraphy, poetry, painting, seals and ceramics). Comparing the Kwanyin Clan members to ‘modern literati writers’, the present article shows how this crew succeeded in reinventing ancient Chinese art forms using Euro-American graffiti vocabulary, paving the way for a new development of graffiti art in China.

In contemporary China, rural-urban migrants constitute a new urban subject with entirely new identity-related issues. This study aims at demonstrating how literature can be a valid field in investigating such evolving subjectivities, through an analysis of Xu Zechen’s early novellas depicting migrants’ vicissitudes in Beijing. Combining a close reading of the texts and a review of the main social problems characterising rural-urban migration in China, this paper focuses on the representation of the identity crisis within the migrant self in Xu’s stories, taking into account the network of meanings employed by the writer to signify the objective and subjective tension between the city and the countryside.

description: Recently, the radius of neutron star (NS) PSR J0740+6620 was measured by Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) and an updated measurement of neutron skin thickness of ${}^{208}$Pb ($R_{\rm skin}^{208}$) was reported by the PREX-II experiment. These new measurements can help us better understand the unknown equation of state (EOS) of dense matter. In this work, we adopt a hybrid parameterization method, which incorporates the nuclear empirical parameterization and some widely used phenomenological parameterizations, to analyze the results of nuclear experiments and astrophysical observations. With the joint Bayesian analysis of GW170817, PSR J0030+0451, and PSR J0740+6620, the parameters that characterize the ultradense matter EOS are constrained. We find that the slope parameter $L$ is approximately constrained to $70_{-18}^{+21}$ MeV, which predicts $R_{\rm skin}^{208}=0.204^{+0.030}_{-0.026}\,{\rm fm}$ by using the universal relation between $R_{\rm skin}^{208}$ and $L$. The bulk properties of canonical $1.4\,M_\odot$ NS (e.g., $R_{1.4}$ and $Λ_{1.4}$) as well as the pressure ($P_{2ρ_{\rm sat}}$) at two times the nuclear saturation density are well constrained by the data; i.e., $R_{1.4}$, $Λ_{1.4}$, and $P_{2ρ_{\rm sat}}$ are approximately constrained to $12.3\pm0.7$ km, $330_{-100}^{+140}$, and $4.1_{-1.2}^{+1.5}\times10^{34}\,{\rm dyn\,cm^{-2}}$, respectively. Besides, we find that the Bayes evidences of the hybrid star and normal NS assumptions are comparable, which indicates that current observation data are compatible with quarkyonic matter existing in the core of massive star. Finally, in the case of normal NS assumption, we obtain a constraint for the maximum mass of nonrotating NS $M_{\rm TOV}=2.30^{+0.30}_{-0.18}$ $M_\odot$. All of the uncertainties reported above are for 68.3% credible levels.

description: Exact static spherically symmetric charged black holes in four dimensions are presented. One of them has only electric charge and another electric and magnetic charges. In these solutions the metric is asymptotically flat, has two horizons, irremovable singularity only at $r=0$, and the dilaton field is singular only at $r=0$. The solution with electric charge only is characterized by three free parameters, the ADM mass, the electric charge and an additional free parameter. It can be considered as a modification of the GHS-GM solution obtained by changing the coupling between dilaton and electromagnetic field. The general dyonic solution is again characterized by three free parameters, the ADM mass, the magnetic charge and an additional free parameter, which is not the electric charge. According to a definition of the no-hair conjecture the solutions are "hairy".A very interesting special case of the dyonic solution is characterized by three free parameters, the ADM mass and the electric and the magnetic charges. The solutions satisfy the dominant as well as the strong energy condition outside and on the external horizon.

description: Στην παρούσα μελέτη διερευνώνται τα κίνητρα εργασίας στις δημόσιες και ιδιωτικές εκπαιδευτικές μονάδες. Σκοπός, της ήταν να διερευνήσει τα κίνητρα των εργαζομένων στις σχολικές μονάδες και να τα κατατάξει σε σειρά προτεραιότητας ανάλογα με τις προτιμήσεις των εκπαιδευτικών. Το θέμα είναι αρκετά ενδιαφέρον γιατί μελετά μια θεματική ενότητα που δεν έχει εξετασθεί εκτενώς στην ελληνική βιβλιογραφία. Η εργασία εκτείνεται σε τρία μέρη. Το πρώτο που είναι η αποσαφήνιση των βασικών εννοιών, οι θεωρίες γύρω από αυτές και η ανασκόπηση της αντίστοιχης υπάρχουσας βιβλιογραφίας. Το δεύτερο κεφάλαιο που περιλαμβάνει την έρευνα, την μεθοδολογία και τα συμπεράσματα της. Στο τρίτο μέρος, η εργασία ολοκληρώνεται μια εποικοδομητική συζήτηση που συνοψίζει τα ευρήματα και, προτείνει πρακτικές εφαρμογής και θέματα για περαιτέρω έρευνα. Στην έρευνα έλαβαν μέρος 102 εκπαιδευτικοί πρωτοβάθμιας και δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης, ιδιωτικού και δημοσίου τομέα. Η ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων έγινε με τη μέθοδο της Conjoint analysis. Βασικό εύρημα της έρευνας είναι ότι ο μισθός είναι το κίνητρο που οι εκπαιδευτικοί θεωρούν το πιο σημαντικό για την υποκίνηση τους ανάμεσα στα υπόλοιπα που είχαν να επιλέξουν. Η εργασία κλείνει με μια εποικοδομητική συζήτηση που συνοψίζει τα ευρήματα και, προτείνει πρακτικές εφαρμογής και θέματα για περαιτέρω έρευνα.

description: This study investigates work incentives in public and private educational institutions. Its purpose was to investigate the motivations of the employees in the schools and to classify them in order of priority according to the preferences of the teachers. The subject is quite interesting as it studies a thematic unit that has not been extensively studied in the Greek bibliography. This paper is divided into three chapters. The first one seeks to clarify the basic concepts, the theories around them and the review of the corresponding existing literature. The second chapter presents the research, its methodology and its conclusions. And the third one summarizes the findings and suggests implementation practices and issues for further research. The survey was attended by 102 elementary and secondary school teachers, working in both private and public sector. The results were analyzed using the Conjoint method. A key element of the research is that salary is the motivation that teachers consider as the most important one for encouraging them among the others they have chosen. The paper closes with a constructive discussion summarizing the findings and proposing practical applications and further research topics. Research field: Human Resource Management

description: The recent observation of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelate Nd$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$NiO$_{2}$ has received considerable attention. Despite the many efforts to understand the superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates, a consensus on the underlying mechanism for the superconductivity has yet to be reached, partly owing to the challenges with the material synthesis. Here, we report the successful growth of superconducting infinite-layer Nd$_{0.8}$Sr$_{0.2}$NiO$_{2}$ films by pulsed-laser deposition and soft chemical reduction. The details on growth process will be discussed.

Η συμβολή της εθνοαρχαιολογίας στη μελέτη των νεολιθικών κοινοτήτων του ελλαδικού χώρου

description: Η εργασία εξετάζει τη συμβολή των εθνοαρχιολογικών ερευνών στη μελέτη των νεολιθικών κοινοτήτων του ελλαδικού χώρου. Παρουσιάζει την ιστορίας της έρευνας και εξετάζει θεωρητικά ζητήματα που απασχόλησαν την εθνοαρχαιολογία. Μέσα από την εξέταση της Οργάνωσης του Χώρου και της Οικονομίας (γεωργία, κτηνοτροφία, τεχνολογία) των παραδοσιακών και των νεολιθικών κοινοτήτων αναδεικνύεται η συνθετότητα, η δυναμική και η ποικιλία τους. Γίνεται σαφές ότι δεν πρόκειται για μια Νεολιθική με ενιαία και παγιωμένα χαρακτηριστικά, αλλά για διαρκή διαμόρφωση και επαναδιαπραγμάτευση του τόπου και του χρόνου. Θα μπορούσαμε να μιλάμε για Νεολιθικές αντί για Νεολιθική. Διαφαίνεται επίσης η σημασία της διεπιστημονικότητας στην αρχαιολογική έρευνα, καθώς εμπλουτίζει και φωτίζει όλο και περισσότερες πτυχές της ανθρώπινης δράσης του παρελθόντος. Οι ανθρώπινες κοινωνίες δεν μπορούν να είναι μετρήσιμα μεγέθη ούτε οι κοινωνικές σχέσεις αυστηρές και κλειστές δομές. Η ανθρωπολογία και η εθνογραφία θυμίζουν στην αρχαιολογία ότι πίσω από τα αρχαιολογικά ευρήματα βρίσκονται κοσμοθεωρίες, σχέσεις και συνήθειες, που υπαγορεύουν ατομικές και συλλογικές αποφάσεις (όχι πάντα ορθολογικές). Οι επιλογές αυτές αποτυπώνονται στα αντικείμενα και μας αφήνουν να τις αποκωδικοποιήσουμε. Σε αυτή την προσπάθεια η συμβολή της εθνοαρχαιολογίας είναι ζωτικής σημασίας
description: This post-graduate work examines the contribution of ethnoarchaeological research to the study of Neolithic communities in Greece. It presents the history of the research and examines theoretical issues of ethnoarchaeology. Through the examination of the Organization of the Space and Economy (agriculture, livestock, technology) of traditional and Neolithic communities, their complexity, dynamics and variety are highlighted. It is clear that this is not for a Neolithic with unified and established characteristics, but for a permanent formation and renegotiation of place and time. We could talk about Neolithics rather than Neolithic. The importance of interdisciplinarity in archaeological research also appears as it enriches and illuminates more and more aspects of human action in the past. Human societies cannot be measurable sizes nor are social relations strict and closed structures. Anthropology and ethnography reminisce in archeology that beyond the archaeological finds there are worldviews, relationships and habits that dictate individual and collective decisions (not always rational). These choices are depicted on the objects and allow us to decode them. In this effort the contribution of ethnoarchaeology is vital.
Generalized Boozer coordinates: a natural coordinate system for quasisymmetry

description: We prove the existence of a straight-field-line coordinate system we call generalized Boozer coordinates. This coordinate system exists for magnetic fields with nested toroidal flux surfaces} provided $ \oint\mathrm{d}l/B\:(\mathbf{j}\cdot\nablaψ)=0$, where symbols have their usual meaning, and the integral is taken along closed magnetic field lines. All quasisymmetric fields, regardless of their associated form of equilibria, must satisfy this condition. This coordinate system presents itself as a convenient form in which to describe general quasisymmetric configurations and their properties. Insight can be gained analytically into the difference between strong and weak forms of quasisymmetry, as well as axisymmetry, and the interaction of quasisymmetry with different forms of equilibria.

Black Hole Entropy and the Problem of Universality
Creators: name: Carlip, Steven
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A key test of any quantum theory of gravity is its ability to reproduce the known thermodynamic properties of black holes. A statistical mechanical description of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy once seemed remote, but today we suffer an embarrassment of riches: many different approaches to quantum gravity yield the same entropy, despite counting very different states. This ``universality'' suggests that some underlying feature of the classical theory may control the quantum density of states. I discuss the possibility that this feature is an approximate two-dimensional conformal symmetry near the horizon.

description: Predictions of the existence of well-defined deeply bound pionic atom states for heavy nuclei and the eventual observation of such states by the (d,3He) reaction have revived interest in the pion-nucleus interaction at threshold and in its relation to the corresponding pion-nucleon interaction. Explanation of the 'anomalous' s-wave repulsion in terms of partial restoration of chiral symmetry and/or in terms of energy-dependence effects have been tested in global fits to pionic atom data and in a recent dedicated elastic scattering experiment. The role of neutron density distributions in this context is discussed in detail for the first time.
