description: The spreading of entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of intense interdisciplinary research efforts involving communities with interests ranging from holography to quantum information. Here we provide a constructive and mathematically rigorous method to compute the entanglement dynamics in a class of "maximally chaotic", periodically driven, quantum spin chains. Specifically, we consider the so called "self-dual" kicked Ising chains initialised in a class of separable states and devise a method to compute exactly the time evolution of the entanglement entropies of finite blocks of spins in the thermodynamic limit. Remarkably, these exact results are obtained despite the models considered are maximally chaotic: their spectral correlations are described by the circular orthogonal ensemble of random matrices on all scales. Our results saturate the so called "minimal cut" bound and are in agreement with those found in the contexts of random unitary circuits with infinite-dimensional local Hilbert space and conformal field theory. In particular, they agree with the expectations from both the quasiparticle picture, which accounts for the entanglement spreading in integrable models, and the minimal membrane picture, recently proposed to describe the entanglement growth in generic systems. Based on a novel "duality-based" numerical method, we argue that our results describe the entanglement spreading from any product state at the leading order in time when the model is non-integrable.

description: The persistent decay of bubble clusters in coarsening two-dimensional soap froths is measured experimentally as a function of cluster volume fraction. Dramatically stronger decay is observed in comparison to soap froth models and to measurements and calculations of persistence in other systems. The fraction of individual bubbles that contain any persistent area also decays, implying significant bubble motion and suggesting that T1 processes play an important role in froth persistence.

On the MG conditional connective αν or towards restoring the image of the Greek culture
Creators: name: Kitis, Eliza
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2002

description: There has been a claim regarding the monosemicity or un-ambiguousness of the connective av of Modern Greek (MG), as compared to its translational equivalent if in English -with the additional claim that the Greek culture is far less ambigu­ous than the English (Athanasiadou, 1997). In this paper, my aim is to restore the picture of the MG conditional connective av, on the basis of an examination of re­al data, demonstrating that, despite the existence of connectives such as ενώ, 'while', αφού, 'since', and άμα, 'if [cond.temporal], MG av can function, not only as a conditional connective, but also as a concessive and adversative one, signify­ing factuality as well, just like its English counterpart. Moreover, I will advance the thesis that both English if and MG av are used in contrastive and concessive con­texts, as well as conditional ones, as strategic devices of rhetorical structures.

description: We propose a novel platform for the study of quantum phase transitions in one dimension (1D QPT). The system consists of a specially designed chain of asymmetric SQUIDs; each SQUID contains several Josephson junctions with one junction shared between the nearest-neighbor SQUIDs.We develop the theoretical description of the low energy part of the spectrum. In particular, we show that the system exhibits the quantum phase transition of Ising type. In the vicinity of the transition the low energy excitations of the system can be described by Majorana fermions. This allow us to compute the matrix elements of the physical perturbations in the low energy sector. In the microwave experiments with this system, we explored the phase boundaries between the ordered and disordered phases and the critical behavior of the system's low-energy modes close to the transition. Due to the flexible chain design and control of the parameters of individual Josephson junctions, future experiments will be able to address the effects of non-integrability and disorder on the 1D QPT.

Kalb-Ramond coupled vortex fibration model for relativistic superfluid dynamics

description: The macroscopic dynamics of a rotating superfluid deviates from that of a simple perfect fluid due to the effect of vorticity quantisation, which gives rise to a substructure of cosmic string type line defects that results in a local anisotropy whereby the effective average pressure in the direction of the vortex lines is reduced below its value in lateral directions. Whereas previous descriptions of this effect have been restricted to a non-relativistic framework that is adequate for the treatment of liquid helium in a laboratory context, the present work provides a fully relativistic description of the kind required for application to rotating neutron star models. To start with, the general category of vortex fibration models needed for this purpose is set up on the basis of a Kalb-Ramond type variational principle. The appropriate specification of the particular model to be chosen within this category will ultimately be governed by the conclusions of microscopic investigations that have not yet been completed, but the results available so far suggest that a uniquely simple kind of model with an elegant dilatonic formulation should be tentatively adopted as a provisional choice so long as there is no indication that a more complicated alternative is needed.

description: The goal of this study was the exploration of the attitudes of students towards reading and writing. 353 students attending 2nd through 6th grade in 3 elemen­tary schools participated in the study. The attitudes of the students were evalu­ated through a Likert scale of 16 sentences. The analysis of the data revealed that the students have more positive attitudes towards reading than towards writing, and that girls hold significantly more positive attitudes than boys. Students' attitude differs depending on the area they come from, but appears to become generally less positive as they grow up.

description: Background: Repeated supratherapeutic ingestion (RSTI) of paracetamol can result in acute liver injury. Management guidelines vary worldwide and in Australia, acetylcysteine treatment is recommended in patients with a paracetamol concentration ≥20 mg/L and/or alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥50 U/L. Objectives: To investigate patients with RSTI of paracetamol and determine whether admission ALT <50 U/L rules out those who develop hepatotoxicity (ALT >1000 U/L). Method: Retrospective review of paracetamol RSTI presentations to two toxicology services over a four-year period. Patients were included if they ingested >4 g per 24 h of paracetamol for a period >8 h, regardless of intent. Data collected included demographics, ingestion history, pathology results, treatments and outcomes. Results: 266 patients were identified with median ingested dose of 9 g per 24 h (IQR: 6–12 g) over a median of 2 days (IQR: 1–5 days). On presentation, paracetamol was detected in 192 (72%), with median concentration of 14 mg/L (IQR: 7–27 mg/L). Median ALT on admission in those developing hepatotoxicity was significantly higher, 1182 U/L (IQR: 598–4251 U/L), compared to 30 U/L (IQR: 18–59 U/L; p Conclusions: Our results confirm that those developing hepatotoxicity from RSTI of paracetamol have an elevated ALT on presentation. Presenting ALT <50 U/L appears to be a safe threshold not to administer acetylcysteine, provided the paracetamol concentration is low.

description: This paper presents research conducted in three private schools in Athens, which explores the mode and degree of the pedagogical use of computers in Greek language teaching. The results show that none of these schools incorpo­rates computers in the Greek language curriculum, but where a synthesis of lan­guage and computers is, indeed, attempted, the software chosen is of a traditio­nal, pedagogical and linguistic, content. On the contrary, exciting cross-curricular activities do occur, which can constitute the basis for a fruitful pedagogical use of computers in the Greek language teaching.

description: The advancement of science as outlined by Popper and Kuhn is largely qualitative, but with bibliometric data it is possible and desirable to develop a quantitative picture of scientific progress. Furthermore it is also important to allocate finite resources to research topics that have growth potential, to accelerate the process from scientific breakthroughs to technological innovations. In this paper, we address this problem of quantitative knowledge evolution by analysing the APS publication data set from 1981 to 2010. We build the bibliographic coupling and co-citation networks, use the Louvain method to detect topical clusters (TCs) in each year, measure the similarity of TCs in consecutive years, and visualize the results as alluvial diagrams. Having the predictive features describing a given TC and its known evolution in the next year, we can train a machine learning model to predict future changes of TCs, i.e., their continuing, dissolving, merging and splitting. We found the number of papers from certain journals, the degree, closeness, and betweenness to be the most predictive features. Additionally, betweenness increases significantly for merging events, and decreases significantly for splitting events. Our results represent a first step from a descriptive understanding of the Science of Science (SciSci), towards one that is ultimately prescriptive.

description: By using complex quaternion, which is the system of quaternion representation extended to complex numbers, we show that the laws of electromagnetism can be expressed much more simply and concisely. We also derive the quaternion representation of rotations and boosts from the spinor representation of Lorentz group. It is suggested that the imaginary 'i' should be attached to the spatial coordinates, and observe that the complex conjugate of quaternion representation is exactly equal to parity inversion of all physical quantities in the quaternion. We also show that using quaternion is directly linked to the two-spinor formalism. Finally, we discuss meanings of quaternion, octonion and sedenion in physics as n-fold rotation

description: During the last almost 30 years -the post-junta μεταπολίτευση period - Greek society has undergone a number of profound political and social changes. Modern Greek also marched onto a new stage of its evolution, espe­cially after the historic recognition of Δημοτική as the standard. Several re­searchers have pointed to various aspects of Modern Greek, as the loci of the ongoing reshaping of the language. In this paper, I will attempt to bring to­gether and interpret the findings of most of these studies, in an effort to pres­ent a true, up to date picture of the Modern Greek language, and, possibly, project its future direction.

description: The mass, coupling and width of the newly observed charged resonance $ Z_{c}^{-}(4100)$ are calculated by treating it as a scalar four-quark system with a diquark-antidiquark structure. The mass and coupling of the state $ Z_{c}^{-}(4100)$ are calculated using the QCD two-point sum rules. In these calculations we take into account contributions of the quark, gluon and mixed condensates up to dimension ten. The spectroscopic parameters of $ Z_{c}^{-}(4100)$ obtained by this way are employed to study its $S$-wave decays to $η_c(1S)π^{-}$, $η_c(2S)π^{-}$, $D^{0}D^{-}$, and $ J/ψρ^{-}$ final states. To this end, we evaluate the strong coupling constants corresponding to the vertices $Z_{c}η_c(1S)π^{-}$, $ Z_{c}η_c(2S)π^{-}$, $Z_{c}D^{0}D^{-}$, and $Z_{c}J/ψρ^{-}$ respectively. The couplings $g_{Z_cη_{c1} π}$, $g_{Z_{c}η_{c2} π}$ , and $g_{Z_{c}DD}$ are computed by means of the QCD three-point sum rule method, whereas $g_{Z_{c}J/ψρ}$ is obtained from the QCD light-cone sum rule approach and soft-meson approximation. Our results for the mass $ m=(4080 \pm 150)~\mathrm{MeV}$ and total width $Γ=(147 \pm 19)~\mathrm{ MeV}$ of the resonance $Z_{c}^{-}(4100)$ are in excellent agreement with the existing LHCb data.

description: General expressions for the unpolarized differential cross section and for various polarization observables in the coherent pseudoscalar meson photo- and electroproduction on the deuteron target have been obtained in one-photon-exchange approximation. The spin structure of the matrix element is explicitly derived in terms of structure functions. The correspondence with the helicity amplitudes is given. The polarization effects have been investigated for the case of a longitudinally polarized electron beam and vector or tensor polarized deuteron target. The polarization (vector or tensor) of the scattered deuteron for the case of unpolarized or a longitudinally polarized electron beam is also considered. In the case of the photoproduction reaction, we consider linearly, circularly or elliptically polarized photon beam. Numerical estimations have been done for the unpolarized differential cross section and for some polarization observables.

description: Tandem-duplication-random-loss (TDRL) is an important genome rearrangement operation studied in evolutionary biology. This paper investigates some of the formal properties of TDRL operations on the symmetric group (the space of permutations over an $ n $-set). In particular, the cardinality of `balls' of radius one in the TDRL metric, as well as the cardinality of the maximum intersection of two such balls, are determined. The corresponding problems for the so-called mirror (or palindromic) TDRL rearrangement operations are also solved. The results represent an initial step in the study of error correction and reconstruction problems in this context and are of potential interest in DNA-based data storage applications.

description: The density of states of the ideal three-dimensional Penrose tiling, a quasicrystalline model, is calculated with a resolution of 10 meV. It is not spiky. This falsifies theoretical predictions so far, that spikes of width 10-20 meV are generic for the density of states of quasicrystals, and it confirms recent experimental findings. The qualitative difference between our results and previous calculations is partly explained by the small number of k points that has usually been included in the evaluation of the density of states of periodic approximants of quasicrystals. It is also shown that both the density of states of a small approximant of the three-dimensional Penrose tiling and the density of states of the ideal two-dimensional Penrose tiling do have spiky features, which also partly explains earlier predictions.

description: We studied a QED analog of the Franz-Keldysh effect, and the interplay between the non-perturbative (the Schwinger mechanism) and the perturbative particle production mechanism from the vacuum in the presence of a strong slow field superimposed by a weak field. We found that the Franz-Keldysh effect significantly affects the particle production: (i) the perturbative particle production occurs even below the threshold energy; (ii) the perturbative production becomes the most efficient just above the threshold energy; and (iii) an oscillating behavior appears in the production number above the threshold energy. These non-trivial changes are suppressed only weakly by powers of the critical field strength of QED. A relation to the dynamically assisted Schwinger mechanism and implications to experiments are also discussed.

description: This paper is concerned with the acquisition of word order (WO) patterns by adult second language (L2) learners of Modern Greek. The question addressed here is whether L2 learners transfer the WO of their native language (L1), espe­cially during the early phases of L2 acquisition, or whether they follow the same developmental pattern, regardless of their L1. Comprehension, production da­ta and results from an acceptability judgement test suggest that learners' L1 not only affects the rate of acquisition but also consists the starting point of L2 ac­quisition.

description: A search for stable and long-lived massive particles of electric charge |Q/e| = 1 or 2/3, pair-produced in e+e- collisions at centre-of-mass energies from 130 to 183 GeV, is reported by the OPAL collaboration at LEP. No evidence for production of these particles was observed in a mass range between 45 and 89.5 GeV. Model-independent upper limits on the production cross-section between 0.05 and 0.19 pb have been derived for scalar and spin-1/2 particles with charge +/-1. Within the framework of the minimal supersymmetric model (MSSM), this implies a lower limit of 82.5 (83.5) GeV on the mass of long-lived right- (left-)handed scalar muons and scalar taus. Long-lived charged leptons and charginos are excluded for masses below 89.5 GeV. For particles with charge +/-2/3 the upper limits on the production cross-section vary between 0.05 and 0.2 pb. All limits, on masses and on cross-sections, are valid at the 95% confidence level for particles with lifetimes longer than 10^{-6} s.

Multimedia teaching material on Greek-English false friends
Creators: name: Mattheoudaki, Marina
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2002
Subjects: Greek-English; false friends; cognates; educational software; multimedia teaching material

description: This paper aims to present the first CD-ROM designed at the Multimedia center of the Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Its content is based on the results of pre­vious research into Greek-English false friends and its aim is primarily peda­gogical. In particular, it aims to raise students' awareness of the level of diffi­culty of these deceptively transparent words and stimulate further study into this lexical area. The article will also present the results of two diagnostic mul­tiple-choice tests of the CD-ROM, taken by first-year students of our depart­ment. The analysis of the results will help us draw conclusions and make sug­gestions regarding the treatment of false friends in the ELT classroom.

description: In this paper analytical solutions of the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations that describe nonequatorial circular orbits of a spinning particle in the Schwarzschild-de Sitter background are studied, and the role of the cosmological constant is emphasized. It is shown that generally speaking a highly relativistic velocity of the particle is a necessary condition of motion along this type of orbits, with an exception of orbits locating close to the position of the static equilibrium, where low velocities are possible as well. Depending on the correlation between the spin orientation of the particle and its orbital velocity some of the possible nonequatorial circular orbits exist due to the repulsive action on the particle caused by the spin-gravity coupling and the others are caused by the attractive action.Here values of the energy of the particle on the corresponding orbits are also analyzed.

description: We show that locally Lorentz invariant, third order, topological massive gravity can not be broken down neither to the local diffeomorphism subgroup nor to the rigid Poincaré group. On the other hand, the recently formulated, locally diffeomorphism invariant, second order massive triadic (translational) Chern-Simons gravity breaks down on rigid Minkowski space to a double massive spin-two system. This flat double massive action is the uniform spin-two generalization of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons-Proca system which one is left with after U(1) abelian gauge invariance breaks down in the presence of a sextic Higgs potential.

Age of the Universe: Influence of the Inhomogeneities on the global Expansion-Factor

description: For the first time we calculate quantitatively the influence of inhomogeneities on the global expansion factor by averaging the Friedmann equation. In the framework of the relativistic second-order Zel'dovich-approximation scheme for irrotational dust we use observational results in form of the normalisation constant fixed by the COBE results and we check different power spectra, namely for adiabatic CDM, isocurvature CDM, HDM, WDM, Strings and Textures. We find that the influence of the inhomogeneities on the global expansion factor is very small. So the error in determining the age of the universe using the Hubble constant in the usual way is negligible. This does not imply that the effect is negligible for local astronomical measurements of the Hubble constant. Locally the determination of the redshift-distance relation can be strongly influenced by the peculiar velocity fields due to inhomogeneities. Our calculation does not consider such effects, but is contrained to comparing globally homogeneous and averaged inhomogeneous matter distributions. In addition we relate our work to previous treatments.

Comment on the Appropriate Null Hypothesis for Cosmological Birefringence

description: A recent paper (Nodland and Ralston, PRL 78, 3043, astro-ph/9704196) claims to have detected evidence for birefringence in the propagation of radio waves across cosmological distances. In order to assess the statistical significance of their results, the authors analyze simulated data sets, finding a stronger correlation in the real data than in the simulations. Unfortunately, the procedure used for generating the simulated data sets is based on an incorrect null hypothesis. Furthermore, the correct null hypothesis would lead to a stronger correlation in the simulated data sets, weakening the case for birefringence. We conclude that the paper's analysis does not provide statistically significant evidence of birefringence.

description: Question answering (QA) has significantly benefitted from deep learning techniques in recent years. However, domain-specific QA remains a challenge due to the significant amount of data required to train a neural network. This paper studies the answer sentence selection task in the Bible domain and answer questions by selecting relevant verses from the Bible. For this purpose, we create a new dataset BibleQA based on bible trivia questions and propose three neural network models for our task. We pre-train our models on a large-scale QA dataset, SQuAD, and investigate the effect of transferring weights on model accuracy. Furthermore, we also measure the model accuracies with different answer context lengths and different Bible translations. We affirm that transfer learning has a noticeable improvement in the model accuracy. We achieve relatively good results with shorter context lengths, whereas longer context lengths decreased model accuracy. We also find that using a more modern Bible translation in the dataset has a positive effect on the task.

description: Objective: This study aims (1) to assess physicians’ attitudes toward different palliative end-of-life (EOL) practices in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) care, including forgoing artificial nutrition and hydration (FANH), continuous sedation until death (CSD), and withdrawing invasive ventilation (WIV), and toward physician-assisted dying (PAD) including physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia and (2) to explore variables influencing these attitudes. Methods: We used two clinical vignettes depicting ALS patients in different stages of their disease progression to assess the influence of suffering (physical/psycho-existential) on attitudes toward WIV and the influence of suffering and prognosis (short-term/long-term) on attitudes toward FANH, CSD, and PAD. Results: 50 physicians from European ALS centers and neurological departments completed our survey. Short-term prognosis had a positive impact on attitudes toward offering FANH (p = 0.014) and CSD (p = 0.048) as well as on attitudes toward performing CSD (p = 0.036) and euthanasia (p = 0.023). Predominantly psycho-existential suffering was associated with a more favorable attitude toward WIV but influenced attitudes toward performing CSD negatively. Regression analysis showed that religiosity was associated with more reluctant attitudes toward palliative EOL practices and PAD, whereas training in palliative care was associated with more favorable attitudes toward palliative EOL practices only. Conclusion: ALS physicians seem to acknowledge psycho-existential suffering as a highly acceptable motive for WIV but not CSD. Physicians appear to be comfortable with responding to the patient’s requests, but more reluctant to assume a proactive role in the decision-making process. Palliative care training may support ALS physicians in these challenging situations.
Do crossover functions depend on the shape of the interaction profile?

description: We examine the crossover from classical to non-classical critical behaviour in two-dimensional systems with a one-component order parameter. Since the degree of universality of the corresponding crossover functions is still subject to debate, we try to induce non-universal effects by adding interactions with a second length scale. Although the crossover functions clearly depend on the range of the interactions, they turn out to be remarkably robust against further variation of the interaction profile. In particular, we find that the earlier observed non-monotonic crossover of the effective susceptibility exponent occurs for several qualitatively different shapes of this profile.

description: THE CYRILLOMETHODIAN TRADITION IN THE SLAVIC WORLD The Eastern Roman Empire made a huge effort for the spiritual and cultural approach of the Slavic world that stretched north of its border in the 9th century AD. Two brothers from Thessaloniki, Constantine – Cyril and Methodius, started this effort and their work, in which the cultural and ecclesiastical tradition of the Christian East is clearly reflected, set the conditions for the diplomatic approach of the Slavic world to the Empire of New Rome. We are going to attempt a theological assessment of the cultural and spiritual approach of the Slavic world to the Empire of New Rome, which began with the work of the Thessalonians brothers on which it was mainly founded. Their work had two critical axes for the approach of the Slavic world, which are especially presented here. These two axes concern the consolidation of the ecclesiastical tradition of the Christian East through the dissemination of its worship and its hagiographic and patristic tradition on one hand, and the prevalence of the tradition of the law of Constantinople on the other. These two axes could ensure the creation of institutions and structures similar to those of the Empire in the Slavic world. All these would ensure not only the approach but also the connection of the Slavic peoples with the Empire of New Rome through indissoluble and indestructible bonds.

description: Star Formation Rates or SFRs are crucial to constrain theories of galaxy formation and evolution. SFRs are usually estimated via spectroscopic observations requiring large amounts of telescope time. We explore an alternative approach based on the photometric estimation of global SFRs for large samples of galaxies, by using methods such as automatic parameter space optimisation, and supervised Machine Learning models. We demonstrate that, with such approach, accurate multi-band photometry allows to estimate reliable SFRs. We also investigate how the use of photometric rather than spectroscopic redshifts, affects the accuracy of derived global SFRs. Finally, we provide a publicly available catalogue of SFRs for more than 27 million galaxies extracted from the Sloan Digital Sky survey Data Release 7. The catalogue is available through the Vizier facility at the following link ftp://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/pub/cats/J/MNRAS/486/1377.
