description: Στην πάροδο του χρόνου οι ηρωίδες του Οβιδίου διαβάστηκαν ως επιστολές ερωτευμένων γυναικών του μύθου, γεγονός που αγνόησε το ήθος αυτών των γυναικών, δηλ. την αρετή τους. Μέσω αυτής οι ηρωίδες ανάγονται στις Ησιοδικές ΗΟΙΑΙ και την περίφημη παραδειγματικότητά τους, στοιχείο ορατό στην προπερτιανή ελεγεία και τους Amores του Οβιδίου. Προβάλλοντας την αρετή και τις προσφορές τους στους ανάξιους ήρωες/εραστές, οι ηρωίδες εκπροσωπούν την ξεπερασμένη ηθική μιας μακρινής εποχής, απόλυτα καταδικαστέα από τον ερωτοδιδάσκαλο της ερωτικής τέχνης. Ωστόσο, η στάση τους απέναντι στο παρελθόν και τη δράση τους καταλήγει στην ανάδειξη του γυναικείου 'ηρωϊδισμού', μιας αντίληψης που στοχεύει στον συστηματικό έλεγχο των αντιφάσεων του ανδρικού 'ηρωισμού'. Αυτός ο ακήρυχτος πόλεμος ενάντια στην καθεστηκύια κειμενική παράδοση ξεδιπλώνεται μέσα από μια αντίστροφη των ελεγειακών ρόλων : ενώ οι ηρωίδες αναλαμβάνουν τον ρόλο του επικού αφηγητή, οι ήρωες/εραστές συμπεριφέρονται ως άπιστες ελεγειακές ερωμένες. Σ'αυτή την ερευνητική βάση οι ηρωίδες ως δυνάμει εναλλακτικό έπος φαίνονται μάλλον να απομακρύνονται από την ελεγειακή παράδοση των Amores
description: Recent approaches have read the Ovidian Heroides as amatory/Elegiac epistles written by desperate mythical women in love, in doing so they seem to neglect a crucial element of these women's ethos, i.e. their arete. These mythical women are thus linked to the Hesiodic EHOIAE and their renowned exemplarity, a reduction already vizible not only in the propertian elegy but also in the Ovidian Amores. By underlying their arete and their offers to the faithless heroes/lovers, the heroines reincarnate the old-fashioned ethics of a distant era, totally condemned by the Ovidian praeceptor of the Ars Amatoria. Nevertheless, their attitude towards past events and their action results in the construction of the feminine "heroinism", a notion intended to check systematically the inconsistencies of the maze "heroism". This invisible struggle against the established textual tradition is unfolded through a reversal of roles : while the heroines undertake the role of the epic narrator, the heroes/lovers turn out to behave like the infidel elegiac mistress. On this research basis the heroides as a potential alternative epic appear rather distant to the elegiac tradition of Amores
Wave reflection effects within a harbour
Creators: name: O’Sullivan, Enda Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis summarizes a numerical model used to predict the wave field in a harbour of constant depth with partially reflecting boundaries, and describes laboratory tests undertaken to assess the numerical model and the importance of partial reflection effects. The numerical model is based on linear diffraction theory, and involves the application of a partial reflection boundary condition. The extension to general harbour configurations that includes breakwaters is made by utilizing a wave doublet representation of the fluid boundaries instead of the usual wave source representation. The numerical model is initially compared to closed-form results for the fundamental case of a straight impermeable offshore breakwater, and the method is found to compare well for this case. Further comparisons are made for a semi-circular harbour with a pair of symmetrical protruding breakwaters, and for a rectangular harbour with a pair of symmetrical protruding breakwaters. The boundaries of the semi-circular harbour were perfectly absorbing and the numerical model predicts the wave field within the harbour realistically. For the later configuration cases which are considered include perfectly absorbing, perfectly reflecting and partially reflecting harbour boundaries, and in all cases the numerical model predicts the wave field within the harbour realistically. Experiments were conducted at the Ocean Engineering Centre at BC Research, Vancouver. Duringthe experiments the wave field within a model harbour was measured under different conditionscorresponding to changes in the wave period, incident wave direction, incident wave height, andreflection coefficients of the harbour boundaries and breakwaters. The experimental results arecompared to those of the numerical model and agreement is generally good. In general the waveheights within the harbour are slightly underpredicted, while the wave heights outside the harbourare slightly overpredicted. Overall, the numerical model is found to provide a reasonably reliable means of predicting the wave field within a harbour of constant depth and arbitrary shape with partially reflecting boundaries.
Antibacterial mechanisms of metal nanoparticles

Subjects: Metal nanoparticle, antibacterial mechanism, respiratory enzymes, ATP synthesis, ROS generation, cell dye.

description: Metal nanoparticles (MNs) are the center of attention in different branches of applied sciences as they have unique features in comparison with bulk ones. They are very effective, low cost and stable antibacterial agents which resisting them requires many mutations. Metal nanoparticles first anchor to the bacterial cell wall and interact with thiol and phosphorus groups of respiratory enzymes resulting in their inactivation. These nanostructures can penetrate into the cell via various mechanisms that distort cell integrity leading to cell content leakage followed with weakening of proton motive force functioning and inhibition of ATP synthesis. After penetration, MNs implement denaturation in DNA and RNA molecular structures hinder cellular replication, transcription and translation mechanisms. Metal nanoparticles induce ROS generation which has a detrimental effect on cell viability. Beside, sum of these effects and mechanisms may lead to inhibition of bacterial cell division, cell disruption and the decline of bacterial populations.

description: The thermodynamic formalism, which was first developed for dynamical systems and then applied to discrete Markov processes, turns out to be well suited for continuous time Markov processes as well, provided the definitions are interpreted in an appropriate way. Besides, it can be reformulated in terms of the generating function of an observable, and then extended to other observables. In particular, the simple observable $K$ giving the number of events occurring over a given time interval turns out to contain already the signature of dynamical phase transitions. For mean-field models in equilibrium, and in the limit of large systems, the formalism is rather simple to apply and shows how thermodynamic phase transitions may modify the dynamical properties of the systems. This is exemplified with the q-state mean-field Potts model, for which the Ising limit q=2 is found to be qualitatively different from the other cases.

description: The cyano radical (CN) is one of the most frequently remotely observed species in space, also in comets. Data from the high-resolution Double Focusing Mass Spectrometer (DFMS) on board the Rosetta orbiter, collected in the inner coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, revealed an unexpected chemical complexity, and, recently, also more CN than expected from photodissociation of its most likely parent hydrogen cyanide (HCN). This work is dedicated to the derivation of abundances relative to HCN of three cometary nitriles (including structural isomers) from DFMS data. Mass spectrometry of complex mixtures does not always allow distinction of structural isomers. We assumed the most stable and most abundant (in similar environments) structure in our analysis, that is HCN for CHN, CH3CN for C2H3N, HC3N for C3HN, and NCCN for C2N2. For cyanoacetylene (HC3N) and acetonitrile (CH3CN) the complete mission timeline was evaluated, while cyanogen (NCCN) often was below detection limit. By carefully selecting periods where cyanogen was above detection limit, we were able to follow the abundance ratio between NCCN and HCN from 3.16 au inbound to 3.42 au outbound. These are the first measurements of NCCN in a comet.We find that neither NCCN, nor any of the other two nitriles, is sufficiently abundant to be a relevant alternative parent to CN.

description: Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 3-year data confirm the ellipticity of anisotropies of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) maps, found previously for Boomerang and WMAP 1-year high sensitivity maps. The low noise level of the WMAP latter data enable also to show that, the ellipticity is a property not described by the conventional cosmological model fitting the power spectrum of CMB. As a large scale anomaly, the ellipticity characteristics are consistent with the effect of geodesics mixing occurring in hyperbolic Universe. Its relation to other large scale effects, i.e. to suppressed low multipoles, as well as to dark energy if the latter is due to vacuum fluctuations, is then an arising issue.

description: A networked output feedback loop subject to packetized transmissions of the output signal is considered. Based on the small gain theorem, an easy-to-use stability criterion covering two important cases is presented. In the first case a packet numbering mechanism is employed whereas in the second case neither packet numbering nor synchronization between sender and receiver is assumed. The analysis makes use of acausal subsystems and deduces the optimal constant time delay that should be used in a nominal controller design such that additional packet delay variations introduced by the network are maximized. A simulation example of a networked control system with a filtered Smith predictor illustrates the application of the proposed criterion and compares the results to different approaches from literature.

description: The objective of this study is to derive functional networks for the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) population using the group ICA and dictionary learning model together and to classify ASD and typically developing (TD) participants using the functional connectivity calculated from the derived functional networks. In our experiments, the ASD functional networks were derived from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data. We downloaded a total of 120 training samples, including 58 ASD and 62 TD participants, which were obtained from the public repository: Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange I (ABIDE I). Our methodology and results have five main parts. First, we utilize a group ICA model to extract functional networks from the ASD group and rank the top 20 regions of interest (ROIs). Second, we utilize a dictionary learning model to extract functional networks from the ASD group and rank the top 20 ROIs. Third, we merged the 40 selected ROIs from the two models together as the ASD functional networks. Fourth, we generate three corresponding masks based on the 20 selected ROIs from group ICA, the 20 ROIs selected from dictionary learning, and the 40 combined ROIs selected from both. Finally, we extract ROIs for all training samples using the above three masks, and the calculated functional connectivity was used as features for ASD and TD classification. The classification results showed that the functional networks derived from ICA and dictionary learning together outperform those derived from a single ICA model or a single dictionary learning model.

Asymmetry measures for QSOs and companions

description: An asymmetry index is derived from ellipse-fitting to galaxy images, that gives weight to faint outer features and is not strongly redshift-dependent. These measures are made on a sample of 13 2MASS QSOs and their neighbour galaxies, and a control sample of field galaxies from the same wide-field imaging data. The QSO host galaxy asymmetries correlate well with visual tidal interaction indices previously published. The companion galaxies have somewhat higher asymmetry than the control galaxy sample, and their asymmetry is inversely correlated with distance from the QSO. The distribution of QSO-companion asymmetry indices is different from that for matched control field galaxies at the $\sim95%$ significance level. We present the data and discuss this evidence for tidal and other disturbances in the vicinity of QSOs.

description: For the prototypical example of the Ising chain in a transverse field, we study the impact of decoherence on the sweep through a second-order quantum phase transition. Apart from the advance in the general understanding of the dynamics of quantum phase transitions, these findings are relevant for adiabatic quantum algorithms due to the similarities between them. It turns out that (in contrast to first-order transitions studied previously) the impact of decoherence caused by a weak coupling to a rather general environment increases with system size (i.e., number of spins/qubits), which might limit the scalability of the system.

description: Hydroxy-quinones constitute an intriguing class of compounds with unique biological activity and numerous pharmaceutical applications (e.g anticancer properties of anthracyclines, like doxorubicin). Hydroxy-quinone complexes with transition and other metal complexes, have been found to possess a variety of structural peculiarities, given their various oxidation states. On the other hand, over the last three decades, organotins have found a solid application field within pharmaceuticals. A respectful number of organotins has been synthesized, characterized and tested for their antitumor profile. Both the structure and anti-cancer activity of organotins vary according to the ligand- metal interactions. Given: a) the limited work that has been done to investigate the triorganotin compounds of hydroxy-quinones and b) our previous experience on hydroxy-quinone metal complexes, we have been engaged in studying the synthesis, structure and in vitro antitumor activity of new triorganotin compounds of hydroxy-quinones

description: Standard methods for video recognition use large CNNs designed to capture spatio-temporal data. However, training these models requires a large amount of labeled training data, containing a wide variety of actions, scenes, settings and camera viewpoints. In this paper, we show that current convolutional neural network models are unable to recognize actions from camera viewpoints not present in their training data (i.e., unseen view action recognition). To address this, we develop approaches based on 3D representations and introduce a new geometric convolutional layer that can learn viewpoint invariant representations. Further, we introduce a new, challenging dataset for unseen view recognition and show the approaches ability to learn viewpoint invariant representations.
Dilatancy characterization of sands using the resistivity cone penetration test
Creators: name: Kokan, Matthew J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The determination of in situ dilatancy in sands has been a difficult and elusive objective in site investigations. Difficulty with sampling, as well as problems with extrapolating laboratory results to field performance have caused geotechnical engineers to place increased reliance on in situ tests. One such test which is gaining acceptance in the geotechnical profession is the cone penetration test (CPT). As with other in situ tests, the CPT can be used to predict dilatancy behaviour of sands based on empirical correlations. As with most empirical methods, correlations are often site specific and sensitive to variables that are not readily measurable. A new, geophysically based, technique has been developed to determine dilatancy characteristics of sands in situ. The resistivity cone penetration test (RCPT) employs a standard 10 sq cm piezo cone, paired with a module which measures soil resisitivity at different electrode spacings. The resistivity is recorded in a semi—continuous manner along with regular CPT data. The resistivity measurements at different electrode spacings can be used to infer sand densities at different distances from the penetrating probe. By comparing the resistivity close to the probe with the resistivity further away from the probe, it is possible to observe the shear induced volume change caused by penetration of the probe. This approach is analytical and does not require water sampling, nor is it site specific. Data are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of this technique in determining in situ dilatancy of sands. The technique is compared to existing empirically based approaches for prediction of dilatancy. Finally, possible future applications of the RCPT are discussed.

description: Although mobile phones incorporate low-cost vibration motors to enhance touch-based interactions, it is not possible to generate complex tactile effects on their touchscreens. It is also difficult to relate the limited vibrotactile feedback generated by these motors to different types of physical buttons. In this study, we focus on creating vibrotactile feedback on a touchscreen that simulates the feeling of physical buttons using piezo actuators attached to it. We first recorded and analyzed the force, acceleration, and voltage data from twelve participants interacting with three different physical buttons: latch, toggle, and push buttons. Then, a button-specific vibrotactile stimulus was generated for each button based on the recorded data. Finally, we conducted a threealternative forced choice (3AFC) experiment with twenty participants to explore whether the resultant stimulus is distinct and realistic. In our experiment, participants were able to match the three digital buttons with their physical counterparts with a success rate of 83%. In addition, we harvested seven adjective pairs from the participants expressing their perceptual feeling of pressing the physical buttons. All twenty participants rated the degree of their subjective feelings associated with each adjective for all the physical and digital buttons investigated in this study. Our statistical analysis showed that there exist at least three adjective pairs for which participants have rated two out of three digital buttons similar to their physical counterparts.

description: With expanding interest in graphene-based electronics, it is crucial that high quality graphene films be grown. Sublimation of Si from the 4H-SiC(0001) Si-terminated) surface in ultrahigh vacuum is a demonstrated method to produce epitaxial graphene sheets on a semiconductor. In this paper we show that graphene grown from the SiC$(000\bar{1})$ (C-terminated) surface are of higher quality than those previously grown on SiC(0001). Graphene grown on the C-face can have structural domain sizes more than three times larger than those grown on the Si-face while at the same time reducing SiC substrate disorder from sublimation by an order of magnitude.

description: The emergence of glassy dynamics and the glass transition in dense disordered systems is still not fully understood theoretically. Mode-coupling theory (MCT) has shown to be effective in describing some of the non-trivial features of glass formation, but it cannot explain the full glassy phenomenology due to the strong approximations on which it is based. Generalized mode-coupling theory (GMCT) is a hierarchical extension of the theory, which is able to outclass MCT by carefully describing the dynamics of higher order correlations in its generalized framework. Unfortunately, the theory has so far only been developed for single component systems and as a result works poorly for highly polydisperse materials. In this paper, we solve this problem by developing GMCT for multi-component systems. We use it to predict the glassy dynamics of the binary Kob-Andersen Lennard-Jones mixture, as well as its purely repulsive Weeks-Chandler-Andersen analogue. Our results show that each additional level of the GMCT hierarchy gradually improves the predictive power of GMCT beyond its previous limit. This implies that our theory is able to harvest more information from the static correlations, thus being able to better understand the role of attraction in supercooled liquids from a first-principles perspective.

description: Non-hermiticity presents a vast newly opened territory that harbors new physics and applications such as lasing and sensing. However, only non-Hermitian systems with real eigenenergies are stable, and great efforts have been devoted in designing them through enforcing parity-time (PT) symmetry. In this work, we exploit a lesser-known dynamical mechanism for enforcing real-spectra, and develop a comprehensive and versatile approach for designing new classes of parent Hamiltonians with real spectra. Our design approach is based on a novel electrostatics analogy for modified non-Hermitian bulk-boundary correspondence, where electrostatic charge corresponds to density of states and electric fields correspond to complex spectral flow. As such, Hamiltonians of any desired spectra and state localization profile can be reverse-engineered, particularly those without any guiding symmetry principles. By recasting the diagonalization of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians as a Poisson boundary value problem, our electrostatics analogy also transcends the gain/loss-induced compounding of floating-point errors in traditional numerical methods, thereby allowing access to far larger system sizes.

description: The ANTARES Neutrino Telescope is a water Cherenkov detector currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. It is also designed to serve as a platform for investigations of the deep-sea environment. In this context, the ANTARES group at the University of Erlangen will integrate acoustic sensors within the infrastructure of the experiment. With this dedicated setup, tests of acoustic particle detection methods and deep-sea acoustic background studies shall be performed. The aim of this project is to evaluate the feasibility of a future acoustic neutrino telescope in the deep sea operating in the ultra-high energy regime. In these proceedings, the implementation of the project is described in the context of the premises and challenges set by the physics of acoustic particle detection and the integration into an existing infrastructure.

description: We make a number of comments regarding modeling degeneracies in strong lensing measurements of the Hubble parameter $H_0$. The first point concerns the impact of weak lensing associated with different segments of the line of sight. We show that external convergence terms associated with the lens-source and observer-lens segments need to be included in cosmographic modeling, in addition to the usual observer-source term, to avoid systematic bias in the inferred value of $H_0$. Specifically, we show how an incomplete account of some line of sight terms biases stellar kinematics as well as ray tracing simulation methods to alleviate the mass sheet degeneracy. The second point concerns the use of imaging data for multiple strongly-lensed sources in a given system. We show that the mass sheet degeneracy is not fully resolved by the availability of multiple sources: some degeneracy remains because of differential external convergence between the different sources. Similarly, differential external convergence also complicates the use of multiple sources in addressing the approximate mass sheet degeneracy associated with a local ("internal") core component in lens galaxies. This internal-external degeneracy is amplified by the non-monotonicity of the angular diameter distance as a function of redshift. For a rough assessment of the weak lensing effects, we provide estimates of external convergence using the nonlinear matter power spectrum, paying attention to non-equal time correlators.

description: For compact U(1) lattice gauge theory (LGT) we have performed a finite size scaling analysis on $N_τ N_s^3$ lattices for $N_τ$ fixed and $N_s\to\infty$, approaching the phase transition from the confined phase. For $N_τ=4$, 5 and 6 our data contradict the expected scenario that this transition is either first order or in the universality class of the 3d XY model. If there are no conceptional flaws in applying the argument that the Gaussian fixed point in 3d is unstable to our systems, estimates of the critical exponents $α/ν$, $γ/ν$, $(1-β)/ν$ and $2-η$ indicate the existence of a new, non-trivial renormalization group fixed point for second order phase transitions in 3d. Such a fixed point would be of importance for renormalization group theory and statistical physics.

description: We generalize Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) semi-classical equations for pseudospin-1 $α-\mathcal{T}_3$ materials with arbitrary hopping parameter $0 < α< 1$, which includes the dice lattice and graphene as two limiting cases. In conjunction with a series-expansion method in powers of Planck constant $\hbar$, we acquired and solved a system of recurrent differential equations for semi-classical electron wave functions in $α-\mathcal{T}_3$. Making use of these obtained wave functions, we analyzed the physics-related mechanism and quantified the transmission of pseudospin-1 Dirac electrons across non-rectangular potential barriers in $α-\mathcal{T}_3$ materials with both zero and finite band gaps. Our studies reveal several unique features, including the way in which the electron transmission depends on the energy gap, the slope of the potential barrier profile and the transverse momentum of incoming electrons. Specifically, we have found a strong dependence of the obtained transmission amplitude on the geometry-phase $ϕ= \tan^{-1} α$ of $α-\mathcal{T}_3$ lattices. We believe our current findings can be applied to Dirac cone-based tunneling transistors in ultrafast analog RF devices, as well as to tunneling-current control by a potential barrier through a one-dimensional array of scatters.

description: The study of cells' dynamical properties is essential to a better understanding of several physiological processes. These properties are directly associated with cells' mechanical parameters experimentally achieved through physical stress. The micropipette aspiration essay has proven an accurate and controllable tool to apply physical stress to the cell. In this work, we explore the numerical modeling of two-dimensional cells using an active multi-particle ring submitted to micropipette aspiration. We correlate simulation parameters with experimental data and obtain a complete map of the input parameters and the resulting elastic parameters that could be measured in experiments.

description: Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο εξετάζομαιτην ιστορική και θεολογική εξέλιξη της πνευματικής πατρότητας. Ο Επίσκοπος κατ'εξοχήν πνευματικός πατέρας ο οποίος με την χειροτονία γεννά Πατέρες στην Εκκλησία. Οι πρεσβύτεροι με την ευλογία του Επισκόπου γίνονται Πατέρες και γεννούν τέκνα στην εκκλησία. Διακρίνεται η "λειτουργική πατρότητα" και η "χαρισματική πατρότητα". Παραμένει το αρχέτυπο ο Θεός, ως πατέρας αγαθός και εύσπλαχνος. Στην σύγχρονη εποχή παρατηρούνται διάφορες καταχρήσεις όπως ειδωλοποίηση του πνευματικού και καταπίεση της ελευθερίας του υποτακτικού. Η πνευματική ζωή έχει δυναμικό χαρακτήρα και κάθε ανθρωπος οφείλει να αγωνιστεό για την απόκτηση των αρετών, τόσο περισσότερο ο πνευματικός πατέρας
description: According the texts of Philokalia underlined the importance of being spiritual father in the life of each christian to help me in the spiritual struggle. The spiritual father serve as a companion and guide into the salvation of theosis. We have two figure for fatherhood. The liturgies and charismatic figure. The liturgics one when the spiritual father has priesthood. The second one, the charismatic figure, in this case the spiritual father accredited for his task by the direct action of the holy spirit be still need requires authorization from the bishop. In this case the spiritual father or geron gives advices, not only at confession, but on many others occasions. The ascetic, prayer nepsis and hesychasm have essential presupposition for the spiritual life of spiritual father. The discernment considered as the most important gift for spiritual guide. From the side of spiritual child should to offer full and unquestioning obedience for "his growth in Christ"
