description: The Marine Biosecurity Porthole was created in 2010 as a collaboration between New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) and the National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) to provide greater public access to information and data on nonindigenous marine species (NIMS) in New Zealand. The porthole is primarily an interactive mapping application that allows verified observations on the distribution of NIMS within New Zealand to be displayed. It draws upon data compiled from a range of funded surveys for NIMS, including a series of port biological baseline surveys and a continuing programme of targeted surveillance for high risk marine pests in major shipping ports and marinas. The data also include records from specimens reported via the passive surveillance system and identified through the Marine Invasives Taxonomic Service (MITS), a taxonomic clearing house service for suspect marine organisms, and observations of NIMS made through taxonomic and ecological research undertaken by NIWA. It currently contains information for over 3,600 native, cryptogenic and non-indigenous marine species with links to over 155,000 individual distribution records. Additional features include a searchable catalogue of relevant reports, papers and information about NIMS and on the surveys undertaken to obtain the data. The design and functionality of the portal have been refreshed to provide a better overall experience for users. New features will allow greater filtering and selection of distribution data, more content on NIMS within New Zealand, and connections to social media.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the basic forms of genuine information crimes, namely those directed solely against information systems and their electronic data, as well as the presentation of the main legislative texts relating to the specific criminal behaviors. In the first part, a brief analysis of the concepts of electronic crime and information systems is carried out and some of the most basic forms of attacks are analyzed. Subsequently, in the second part are analyzed the Convention on Cybercrime of the Council of Europe, as well as the Directive 2013/40/EU, concerning the attacks against information systems, at international and European level respectively. Finally, in the third part are presented the offenses contained in the Greek Criminal Code, concerning the information crime. Specifically, the provisions pre-existing of the aforementioned Directive are analyzed in their previous form, but also with the changes that have been made to them after the transposition of the Directive into the Greek legal system, as well as the new provisions added in the Greek criminal code in compliance with the aforementioned Directive

description: Correlators of Wilson-line operators in non-abelian gauge theories are known to exponentiate, and their logarithms can be organised in terms of collections of Feynman diagrams called webs. In [1] we introduced the concept of Cweb, or correlator web, which is a set of skeleton diagrams built with connected gluon correlators, and we computed the mixing matrices for all Cwebs connecting four or five Wilson lines at four loops. Here we complete the evaluation of four-loop mixing matrices, presenting the results for all Cwebs connecting two and three Wilson lines. We observe that the conjuctured column sum rule is obeyed by all the mixing matrices that appear at four-loops. We also show how low-dimensional mixing matrices can be uniquely determined from their known combinatorial properties, and provide some all-order results for selected classes of mixing matrices. Our results complete the required colour building blocks for the calculation of the soft anomalous dimension matrix at four-loop order.

description: Orientational fluctuations of colloidal particles with magnetic moments may be rectified with the help of external magnetic fields with suitably chosen time dependence. As a result a noise-driven rotation of particles occurs giving rise to a macroscopic torque per volume of the carrier liquid. We investigate the influence of mutual interactions between the particles on this ratchet effect by studying a model system with mean-field interactions. The stochastic dynamics may be described by a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation for the collective orientation of the particles which we solve approximately by using the effective field method. We determine an interval for the ratio between coupling strength and noise intensity for which a self-sustained rectification of fluctuations becomes possible. The ratchet effect then operates under conditions for which it were impossible in the absence of interactions.

description: Using a parametrization of the Wilson loop with the minimal-area law, we calculate the polarization operator of a valence gluon, which propagates in the confining background. This enables us to obtain the infrared freezing (i.e. finiteness) of the running strong coupling in the confinement phase, as well as in the deconfinement phase up to the temperature of dimensional reduction. The momentum scale defining the onset of freezing is found both analytically and numerically. The nonperturbative contribution to the thrust variable, originating from the freezing, makes the value of this variable closer to the experimental one.

description: We show that black holes with a Schwarzschild radius of the order of the electroweak scale may act as seeds for the baryon number violation within the Standard model via sphaleron transitions. The corresponding rate is faster than the one in the pure vacuum and baryon number violation around black holes can take place during the evolution of the universe after the electroweak phase transition. We show however that this does not pose any threat for a pre-existing baryon asymmetry in the universe.

description: On the basis of analytic solutions of Schrodinger and Pauli equations for a uniform magnetic field and a single attractive $δ({\bf r})$-potential the equations for the bound one-active electron states are discussed. It is vary important that ground electron states in the magnetic field essentially different from the analog state of spin-0 particles that binding energy has been intensively studied at more then forty years ago. We show that binding energy equations for spin-1/2 particles can be obtained without using of a well-known language of boundary conditions in the model of $δ$-potential that has been developed in pioneering works. Obtained equations are used for the analytically calculation of the energy level displacements, which demonstrate nonlinear dependencies on field intensities. It is shown that in a case of the weak intensity a magnetic field indeed plays a stabilizing role in considering systems. However the strong magnetic field shows the opposite action. We are expected that these properties can be of importance for real quantum mechanical fermionic systems in two- and three-dimensional cases.

description: In applications such as object tracking, time-series data inevitably carry missing observations. Following the success of deep learning-based models for various sequence learning tasks, these models increasingly replace classic approaches in object tracking applications for inferring the objects' motion states. While traditional tracking approaches can deal with missing observations, most of their deep counterparts are, by default, not suited for this. Towards this end, this paper introduces a transformer-based approach for handling missing observations in variable input length trajectory data. The model is formed indirectly by successively increasing the complexity of the demanded inference tasks. Starting from reproducing noise-free trajectories, the model then learns to infer trajectories from noisy inputs. By providing missing tokens, binary-encoded missing events, the model learns to in-attend to missing data and infers a complete trajectory conditioned on the remaining inputs. In the case of a sequence of successive missing events, the model then acts as a pure prediction model. The abilities of the approach are demonstrated on synthetic data and real-world data reflecting prototypical object tracking scenarios.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the armed drones’ targeted killing program legality, under international law. At first, a short analysis of the latest armed conflicts and their effects was presented. Next, a brief reference to the development of drones was made and an assessment regarding their future status was conducted. Furthermore, the opposing ways of understanding September 11, 2001 that have led to the articulation of two competing models: the armed-conflict (or war) and the law-enforcement models, were presented. Additionally, the targeted killings conducted were tested under the prism of international law, especially the rules, concerning the use of force on the territory of another state. What’s more, an analysis of State practice was made. Moreover, a number of targeted killing cases was presented, under the restrictions of evidence not promulgated, due to State confidentiality laws being provoked. Lastly, the final remarks regarding the legality of targeted killing programs were made, the critiques expressed to the afore-mentioned program and the opposite views were presented in order, if possible, to eradicate all misunderstandings in the benefit of the rule of law

Συνεπώς, για κάθε έναν εταιρικό τύπο, πέραν της εξέτασης της ατομικής ευθύνης των φυσικών προσώπων, διοικητών και εκπροσώπων, λαμβάνει χώρα αναφορά και σε άλλα ζητήματα ευθύνης που αφορούν είτε τα ίδια τα νομικά πρόσωπα είτε άλλα φυσικά πρόσωπα πέραν του εκπροσώπου του νομικού προσώπου, ως εκδότη της επιταγής, όπως για παράδειγμα τους λοιπούς εταίρους των εμπορικών εταιριών. Τέλος, παρά το γεγονός ότι η παρούσα μελέτη αφορά κυρίως τις εμπορικές εταιρίες, κρίνεται συστηματικά σκόπιμο και λαμβάνει χώρα αναφορά και στους συνεταιρισμούς και την ευθύνη των δικών τους εκπροσώπων σε περίπτωση έκδοσης ακάλυπτης επιταγής, καθώς είναι εξαιρετικά σύνηθες στην πράξη οι αστικοί συνεταιρισμοί να εμφανίζονται ως υποκείμενα εμπορικών συναλλαγών
description: The aim of the present thesis is the study of whether directors and corporation managers’ are civilly liable and criminally responsible for dishonouring of cheques issued by the company. The issuing of bad cheques (which are usually postdated) is a common phenomenon that concerns both Courts and Businesses. In the aforementioned context are also examined issues related to the liability of the companies themselves as legal entities in such cases. Therefore for each company type, in addition to the examination of corporation managers’ liability as natural persons, are also examined other issues concerning the responsibility that may be held either by the legal entities or other natural persons, apart from the corporation manager – drawee of cheque, such as other natural persons, members of the companies. Last but not least, although the present thesis deals mostly with the commercial companies, a reference to urban cooperatives and the liability of their directors in case of bad cheques issuing has been determined as suitable. That is mostly because of the growing appearance and participation of those entities in everyday trade

description: Using the ``modified DPMJET-III'' model explained in the previous paper, we calculate the atmospheric neutrino flux. The calculation scheme is almost the same as HKKM04 \cite{HKKM2004}, but the usage of the ``virtual detector'' is improved to reduce the error due to it. Then we study the uncertainty of the calculated atmospheric neutrino flux summarizing the uncertainties of individual components of the simulation. The uncertainty of $K$-production in the interaction model is estimated by modifying FLUKA'97 and Fritiof 7.02 so that they also reproduce the atmospheric muon flux data correctly, and the calculation of the atmospheric neutrino flux with those modified interaction models. The uncertainties of the flux ratio and zenith angle dependence of the atmospheric neutrino flux are also studied.

description: An optical frequency comb consists of a set of discrete and equally spaced frequencies and has found wide applications in the synthesis over broad spectral frequencies of electromagnetic wave and precise optical frequency metrology. Despite the analogies between magnons and photons in many aspects, the analogue of optical frequency comb in magnonic system has not been reported. Here, we theoretically study the magnon-skyrmion interaction and find that magnonic frequency comb (MFC) can be generated above a threshold of driving amplitude, where the nonlinear scattering process involving three magnons prevails. The mode-spacing of the MFC is equal to the breathing-mode frequency of skyrmion and is thus tunable by either electric or magnetic means. The theoretical prediction is verified by micromagnetic simulations and the essential physics can be generalized to a large class of magnetic solitons. Our findings open a new pathway to observe the frequency comb structure in magnonic devices, that may inspire the study of fundamental nonlinear physics in spintronic platform in the future.

description: Η φιλελεύθερη θεωρία βρίσκεται σήμερα στον τέταρτο αιώνα ύπαρξής της, έχοντας διανύσει μια μακρά και πολυδιάστατη ιστορική πορεία. Η κεντρική θέση που κατέχει στην πολιτική θεωρία, καθώς και οι κρίσεις που ανά περιόδους αντιμετώπισε και συνεχίζει να αντιμετωπίζει, καθιστούν αναγκαία τη μελέτη και διερεύνηση της κριτικής που της ασκείται. Μια από τις σύγχρονες κριτικές που ασκήθηκε στη φιλελεύθερη θεώρηση, αποτελεί αυτή του Αμερικανού φιλοσόφου John Dewey. Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας αποτέλεσε η μελέτη και ανάλυση των θέσεων του φιλοσόφου, στις οποίες στηλίτευσε μια ορισμένη φιλελεύθερη θεώρηση για την ανεπάρκεια και την αναποτελεσματικότητάς αυτής ως προς την επίλυση προβλημάτων της νέας βιομηχανικής κοινωνίας.

Μέσω της συγκεκριμένης μεθοδολογικής προσέγγισης κατέστη φανερό ότι οι τοποθετήσεις του φιλοσόφου αποτελούν πλούσια πηγή αναστοχασμού, ενώ παράλληλα ο Dewey εισήγαγε καίριες αντιλήψεις προσπαθώντας να συμβάλει στα κενά που εντόπισε, όπως αυτά της έλλειψης ιστορικότητας στην πρόσληψη κεντρικών εννοιών και της έλλειψης οργανωμένης κοινωνικής δράσης
description: Liberal theory is in the fourth century of its existence and has already run a long and multidimensional historical course. Having a central position in political theory, liberal theory has periodically faced and keeps facing crises that make the study and investigation of the its criticisms necessary. One of the contemporary criticisms that have been exercised on the liberal doctrine, is the critique of the American philosopher John Dewey. The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyze the philosopher’s positions, in which he decried a specific liberal theory for its deficiency and inefficiency regarding the problems of the new industrial society. The methodological approach that was used, includes primary and secondary bibliographic references on the subject. Through this particular methodological approach, it has become obvious that the positions of the philosopher constitute an abundant source of rethinking over the matter, while Dewey introduced insightful concepts on an attempt to contribute to the theoretical gaps that he detected, like the lack of historical perception on core ideas and the lack of organized social action

Sources are selected from various published catalogs, and their broadband quasi-simultaneous spectral data points were collected and used to model. We started with a COSMOS sample of type-1 sources which have broadband photometric points. Then, to include more data points, we cross-matched the COSMOS with the SDSS DR14 quasar catalog, and eventually, we find 90 sources that have broadband data ranging from IR to soft X-ray. The broadband spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling is done in Xspec by using the optxagnf and the SKIRTOR models for the X-ray, UV, Optical, and IR regimes for each source. The whole sample is divided into four bins with respect to redshift, black hole (BH) mass, and Eddington ratio with an equal number of sources in each bin. The viewing angle is estimated in each bin, and its evolution with respect to redshift, BH mass, and Eddington ratio is examined. As a result, we did not find any significant evolution of viewing angle with those parameters within the 95$\%$ confidence interval. We conclude that the use of quasars in cosmology to determine the expansion rate of the universe is therefore justified, and biases are not expected.

description: Online gaming is growing faster than ever before, with increasing challenges of providing better user experience. Recommender systems (RS) for online games face unique challenges since they must fulfill players' distinct desires, at different user levels, based on their action sequences of various action types. Although many sequential RS already exist, they are mainly single-sequence, single-task, and single-user-level. In this paper, we introduce a new sequential recommendation model for multiple sequences, multiple tasks, and multiple user levels (abbreviated as M$^3$Rec) in Tencent Games platform, which can fully utilize complex data in online games. We leverage Graph Neural Network and multi-task learning to design M$^3$Rec in order to model the complex information in the heterogeneous sequential recommendation scenario of Tencent Games. We verify the effectiveness of M$^3$Rec on three online games of Tencent Games platform, in both offline and online evaluations. The results show that M$^3$Rec successfully addresses the challenges of recommendation in online games, and it generates superior recommendations compared with state-of-the-art sequential recommendation approaches.

description: The q-oscillator representation for the Borel subalgebra of the affine symmetry $U_q(sl_N^)$ is presented. By means of this q-oscillator representation, we give the free field realizations of the Baxter's Q-operator $Q_j(t)$, $\bar{Q}_j(t)$ for the W-algebra $W_N$. We give the functional relations of the $T$-$Q$ operators, including the higher-rank generalization of the Baxter's $T$-$Q$ relation.

description: There has been substantial recent work on methods for estimating the slope function in linear regression for functional data analysis. However, as in the case of more conventional finite-dimensional regression, much of the practical interest in the slope centers on its application for the purpose of prediction, rather than on its significance in its own right. We show that the problems of slope-function estimation, and of prediction from an estimator of the slope function, have very different characteristics. While the former is intrinsically nonparametric, the latter can be either nonparametric or semiparametric. In particular, the optimal mean-square convergence rate of predictors is $n^{-1}$, where $n$ denotes sample size, if the predictand is a sufficiently smooth function. In other cases, convergence occurs at a polynomial rate that is strictly slower than $n^{-1}$. At the boundary between these two regimes, the mean-square convergence rate is less than $n^{-1}$ by only a logarithmic factor. More generally, the rate of convergence of the predicted value of the mean response in the regression model, given a particular value of the explanatory variable, is determined by a subtle interaction among the smoothness of the predictand, of the slope function in the model, and of the autocovariance function for the distribution of explanatory variables.

description: Although assigning D_{s0}^+(2317) to the I_3=0 component of iso-triplet four-quark mesons is favored by experiments, its neutral and doubly charged partners have not yet been observed. It is discussed why they were not observed in inclusive e^+e^- annihilation experiments and that they can be observed in B decays.

description: Recent studies have shown that minimal couplings for massive spinning particles, which in the classical limit reproduce the leading PM Kerr black hole dynamics, leads to an Eikonal S-matrix exhibiting spin-entanglement suppression. In this paper we trace this phenomenon to the suppression of spin-flipping components in the S-matrix, known to be the hallmark of minimal coupling in the ultra-relativistic limit. We further generalize the consideration to charged and $\mathcal{N}=4$ black holes, demonstrating that in both cases maximal suppression occurs at the extremal limit.

description: We study the effect of electromagnetic interactions on the classical soft theorems on an asymptotically AdS background in 4 spacetime dimensions, in the limit of a small cosmological constant or equivalently a large AdS radius $l$. This identifies $1/l^2$ perturbative corrections to the known asymptotically flat spacetime leading and subleading soft factors. Our analysis is only valid to leading order in $1/l^2$. The leading soft factor can be expected to be universal and holds beyond tree level. This allows us to derive a $1/l^2$ corrected Ward identity, following the known equivalence between large gauge Ward identities and soft theorems in asymptotically flat spacetimes.

description: We report on measurements of the adiabatic second order elastic constants of the off-stoichiometric Ni$_{54}$Mn$_{23}$Al$_{23}$ single crystalline Heusler alloy. The variation in the temperature dependence of the elastic constants has been investigated across the magnetic transition and over a broad temperature range. Anomalies in the temperature behaviour of the elastic constants have been found in the vicinity of the magnetic phase transition. Measurements under applied magnetic field, both isothermal and variable temperature, show that the value of the elastic constants depends on magnetic order, thus giving evidence for magnetoelastic coupling in this alloy system.

description: The purpose of this research is the mapping of Hayekian thought, from the point of view of political philosophy. Also pursued is the restoration of its nuances, its classification within the spectrum of the history of ideas, as well as its projection onto certain aspects of the world of political practice. After a short biographical retrospection and a look at the school of thought that nurtured Hayek as a thinker, the most important moments of his work are divided into periods and thoroughly presented. Through his work, the puzzle of concepts and theories that make up the body of his cohesive political understanding is pulled together. Hayek’s theory of the state is gradually uncovered, through the tools given by his own methodology. Finally, some of his positions are criticized, and the foundation for the update of his historical relevance is set. The Austrian is profiled as indeed politically relevant, but also as significantly misinterpreted in public discourse

description: The accurate description of molecule-surface interactions requires a detailed knowledge of the underlying potential-energy surface (PES). Recently, neural networks (NNs) have been shown to be an efficient technique to accurately interpolate the PES information provided for a set of molecular configurations, e.g. by first-principles calculations. Here, we further develop this approach by building the NN on a new type of symmetry functions, which allows to take the symmetry of the surface exactly into account. The accuracy and efficiency of such symmetry-adapted NNs is illustrated by the application to a six-dimensional PES describing the interaction of oxygen molecules with the Al(111) surface.
