description: Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας είναι να καταδείξει την εμπλοκή του ρωσικού παράγοντα όπως αυτός εκφράζεται μέσα από την επίσημη πολιτική της ρωσικής αυτοκρατορίας κατά το 19ο αιώνα στην περιοχή της μέσης Ανατολής και ιδιαίτερα στους Αγίους Τόπους. Η ανάδειξη του εθνικισμού – εθνοφυλετισμού( για την Εκκλησία), ως στοιχείο της νεωτερικότητας, χαρακτηρίζει τις μεγάλες αλλαγές στην Ευρώπη και διαμορφώνει καινούργιες καταστάσεις στα Βαλκάνια και στην ευρύτερη περιοχή της μέσης Ανατολής. Μέσα σ’ αυτή την συγκυρία οι ευρωπαϊκές δυνάμεις διαγκωνίζονται για σφαίρες επιρροής και για επίτευξη γαιοπολιτικών επιδιώξεων, με άξονα την θρησκεία και την προσπάθεια των λαών της περιοχής για εθνική αυτοδιάθεση. Στη βάση του ‘Ανατολικού Ζητήματος’, η Ρωσία ως δύναμη – προστάτιδα αφενός των Ορθοδόξων λαών της περιοχής, αφετέρου των Παναγίων Προσκυνημάτων, που στη συντριπτική τους πλειοψηφία η διαχείρισή τους ανήκει στην ελληνορθόδοξη Αγιοταφική Αδερφότητα, αλληλεπιδρά με τις άλλες Ευρωπαϊκές μεγάλες Δυνάμεις, την Οθωμανική Αυτοκρατορία, το Ελληνορθόδοξο Πατριαρχείο, τους λαούς της Μέσης Ανατολής, τους Αραβόφωνους Χριστιανούς ,προκειμένου να επιτύχει ευρύτερους γεωπολιτικούς σκοπούς και να πραγματοποιήσει τα οράματα της εξωτερικής αυτοκρατορικής πολιτικής της.
description: The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the involvement of the Russian factor as expressed through the official policy of the Russian Empire in the 19th century in the Middle East region and particularly in the Holy Land. The emergence of nationalism - ethno-racialism (for the Church), as an element of modernity, characterizes the great changes in Europe and shapes new situations in the Balkans and the wider Middle East region. In this context, the European powers are competing for spheres of influence and for the achievement of geopolitical goals, with religion and the attempt of the peoples of the region to achieve national self-determination at their core. On the basis of the 'Eastern Question', Russia, as a power - protector of the Orthodox peoples of the region on the one hand, and of the Holy Shrines on the other, the vast majority of which are administered by the Greek Orthodox Hagiotaphite Brotherhood, is interacting with the other major European powers, the Ottoman Empire, the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, the peoples of the Middle East, the Arabic-speaking Christians, in order to achieve wider geopolitical goals and to realize the visions of its foreign imperial policy.

description: A cluster analysis procedure was used to develop a market segmentation of U.S. crop and livestock farms with annual sales in excess of $100,000. The results indicate that four distinct segments exist: convenience buyers, balance buyers, price buyers, and performance buyers. Differences in preferences across these segments have important implications for the marketing strategies of agricultural input suppliers.

description: We consider chiral fermion confinement in scalar thick branes, which are known to localize gravity, coupled through a Yukawa term. The conditions for the confinement and their behavior in the thin-wall limit are found for various different BPS branes, including double walls and branes interpolating between different AdS_5 spacetimes. We show that only one massless chiral mode is localized in all these walls, whenever the wall thickness is keep finite. We also show that, independently of wall's thickness, chiral fermionic modes cannot be localized in dS_4 walls embedded in a M_5 spacetime. Finally, massive fermions in double wall spacetimes are also investigated. We find that, besides the massless chiral mode localization, these double walls support quasi-localized massive modes of both chiralities.

description: Queensland Department of Primary Industries and University of Queensland Stochastic-computerised-activity-budgeting (SCAB) facilitates and extends the traditional gross margins analysis for sheep activities. SCAB is one of the very few computerised management aids so far developed for Australian farm management situations. In the deterministic mode SCAB calculates gross margins based on point estimates of all the relevant parameters. In stochastic mode it generates a distribution of pay-offs (gross margins) based on the manager's subjective probability distribution for the relevant major uncertain paramaters. The variance of this distribution of pay-offs represents a measure of the risk associated with the activity given the manager's current knowledge and expectations.

description: In his book Discourses on the Mahábhárata, Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar (1922-1990), a spiritual teacher (also known as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti) and social philosopher, clarifies the role of Lord Krśńa as both the real author of the Mahábhárata War and as a physical embodiment of the Cosmic Nucleus and creator of the universe. The Cosmic Nucleus has played the roles of different divine personalities in the drama of the universe, which is actually a thought process within the Cosmic Mind. One was the role of Lord Shiva about 7000 years ago. A second was the role of Lord Krśńa about 3500 years ago. Both were embodiments of Divine force at the time of their birth. Each played a vital role in the spiritual and social development of human society in different historical periods. We can learn much from Shrii Shrii Anandamurti’s clarification of the roles that the Cosmic Nucleus has played in human history. Two chapters that focus on these topics are presented here.

description: Hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowires are predicted to undergo a field-induced phase transition from a trivial to a topological superconductor, marked by the closure and re-opening of the excitation gap, followed by the emergence of Majorana bound states at the nanowire ends. Many local density-of-states measurements have reported signatures of the topological phase, however this interpretation has been challenged by alternative explanations. Here, by measuring nonlocal conductance, we identify the closure of the excitation gap in the bulk of the semiconductor before the emergence of zero-bias peaks. This observation is inconsistent with scenarios where zero-bias peaks occur due to end-states with a trivially gapped bulk, which have been extensively considered in the theoretical and experimental literature. We observe that after the gap closes, nonlocal signals fluctuate strongly and persist irrespective of the presence of local-conductance zero-bias peaks. Thus, our observations are also incompatible with a simple picture of clean topological superconductivity. This work presents a new experimental approach for probing the spatial extent of states in Majorana wires, and reveals the presence of a regime with a continuum of spatially extended states and uncorrelated zero-bias peaks.
Automated Improvement for Component Reuse

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Software component reuse is the key to significant gains in productivity. However, the major problem is the lack of identifying and developing potentially reusable components. This paper concentrates on our approach to the development of reusable software components. A prototype tool has been developed, known as the Reuse Assessor and Improver System (RAIS) which can interactively identify, analyse, assess, and modify abstractions, attributes and architectures that support reuse. Practical and objective reuse guidelines are used to represent reuse knowledge and to do domain analysis. It takes existing components, provides systematic reuse assessment which is based on reuse advice and analysis, and produces components that are improved for reuse. Our work on guidelines has been extended to a large scale industrial application.

Episodic processes in fluvial landscape evolution
Creators: name: Dadson, Simon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The fractal dimension provides a succinct summary of topographic intricacy and a measure of landscape roughness. The work presented in this thesis is an attempt to examine the spatial variation of fractal properties of topography. It is hypothesized that distinct zones, or domains, may be identified in the landscape, within which the fractal dimension is constant, owing to the dominance of a characteristic geomorphic process. The variogram method (structure-function analysis) is used to measure the fractal properties of digital elevation models of the Queen Charlotte Islands and small tributaries of the Capilano River (in the Southern Coast Mountains). Process domains are identified using upslope-area criteria, and are shown to have distinct fractal dimensions. In the Capilano basin, the fractal dimension is found to be higher on upper slopes; whereas on the Queen Charlotte Islands, it is higher on lower slopes. This difference is explained with reference to the details of specific surficial processes operating in each of the areas, and to their different glacial histories. A multiple-process landscape evolution model is presented to explore the link between geomorphic process and fractal form. The model is carefully calibrated using field data from several recent surveys within the study areas. Non-linear diffusion is used to represent surficial slope failure; fluvial processes are represented using a simplified Bagnold equation; and deep-seated rock slides are introduced at random on the steepest, highest slopes. The model results confirm the smoothing effect of diffusion, which lowers the fractal dimension of the resulting topography. Structures introduced by rock-slope failures introduce visible short-term complexity on hillslopes; however, this is quickly incorporated into the channel network so does not appear to increase the fractal dimension of areas defined as hillslopes using the threshold slopearea criterion. Further work is suggested to improve modelling of fluvial processes in steep, headwater channels, and to investigate the details of hillslope-channel coupling at higher spatial resolution.

description: The subgroup structure of Thompson's group F is not yet fully understood. The group F is a subgroup of the group PL(I) of orientation preserving, piecewise linear self homeomorphisms of the unit interval and this larger group thus also has a poorly understood subgroup structure. It is reasonable to guess that F is the "only" subgroup of PL(I) that is not elementary amenable. In this paper, we explore the complexity of the elementary amenable subgroups of F in an attempt to understand the boundary between the elementary amenable subgroups and the non-elementary amenable. We construct an example of an elementary amenable subgroup up to class (height) omega squared, where omega is the first infinite ordinal.

Driven lattice gas with nearest-neighbor exclusion: shear-like drive

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We present Monte Carlo simulations of the lattice gas with nearest-neighbor exclusion and Kawasaki (hopping) dynamics, under the influence of a nonuniform drive, on the square lattice. The drive, which favors motion along the +$x$ and inhibits motion in the opposite direction, varies linearly with $y$, mimicking the velocity profile of laminar flow between parallel plates with distinct velocities. We study two drive configurations and associated boundary conditions: (1) a linear drive profile, with rigid walls at the layers with zero and maximum bias, and (2) a symmetric (piecewise linear) profile with periodic boundaries. The transition to a sublattice-ordered phase occurs at a density of about 0.298, lower than in equilibrium ($ρ_c \simeq 0.37$), but somewhat higher than in the uniformly driven case at maximal bias ($ρ_c \simeq 0.272$). For smaller global densities ($ρ\leq 0.33$), particles tend to accumulate in the low-drive region. Above this density we observe a surprising reversal in the density profile, with particles migrating to the high-drive region and forming structures similar to force chains in granular systems.

description: A population is said to have an ideal free distribution in a spatially heterogeneous but temporally constant environment if each of its members have chosen a fixed spatial location in a way that optimizes its individual fitness, allowing for the effects of crowding. In this paper, we extend the idea of individual fitness associated with a specific location in space to account for the full path that an individual organism takes in space and time over a periodic cycle, and extend the mathematical formulation of an ideal free distribution to general time periodic environments. We find that, as in many other cases, populations using dispersal strategies that can produce a generalized ideal free distribution have a competitive advantage relative to populations using strategies that do not produce an ideal free distribution. A sharp criterion on the environmental functions is found to be necessary and sufficient for such ideal free distribution to be feasible. In the case the criterion is met, we showed that there exist dispersal strategies that can be identified as producing a time-periodic version of an ideal free distribution, and such strategies are evolutionarily steady and are neighborhood invaders from the viewpoint of adaptive dynamics. Our results extend previous works in which the environments are either temporally constant, or temporally periodic but the total carrying capacity is temporally constant.

description: The evolution of two species with different fitness is investigated on degree-heterogeneous graphs. The population evolves either by one individual dying and being replaced by the offspring of a random neighbor (voter model (VM) dynamics) or by an individual giving birth to an offspring that takes over a random neighbor node (invasion process (IP) dynamics). The fixation probability for one species to take over a population of N individuals depends crucially on the dynamics and on the local environment. Starting with a single fitter mutant at a node of degree k, the fixation probability is proportional to k for VM dynamics and to 1/k for IP dynamics.

The modified Maxwell equations coincide with other derivations obtained using different procedures. These modified equations are interpreted as describing macroscopic ones in a polarized and magnetized medium. A tiny magnetic field (seed) emerges as particular static solution that gradually increases once the modified Maxwell equations are solved as a self-consistent equations system.

description: Monoenergetic muon neutrinos at 236 MeV are readily produced in intense medium-energy proton facilities ($\gtrsim$2-3~GeV) when a positive kaon decays at rest (KDAR; $K^+ \rightarrow μ^+ ν_μ$). These neutrinos provide a unique opportunity to both study the neutrino interaction and probe the nucleus with a monoenergetic weak-interaction-only tool. We present cross section calculations for quasielastic scattering of these 236~MeV neutrinos off $^{12}$C and $^{40}$Ar, paying special attention to low-energy aspects of the scattering process. Our model takes the description of the nucleus in a mean-field (MF) approach as the starting point, where we solve Hartree-Fock (HF) equations using a Skyrme type nucleon-nucleon interaction. Thereby, we introduce long-range nuclear correlations by means of a continuum random phase approximation (CRPA) framework where we solve the CRPA equations using a Green's function method. The model successfully describes ($e,e'$) data on $^{12}$C and $^{40}$Ca in the kinematic region that overlaps with the KDAR $ν_μ$ phase space. In addition to these results, we present future prospects for precision KDAR cross section measurements and applications of our calculations in current and future experiments that will utilize these neutrinos.

description: We report the discovery of planetary companions orbiting four low-luminosity giant stars with M$_\star$ between 1.04 and 1.39 M$_\odot$. All four host stars have been independently observed by the EXoPlanets aRound Evolved StarS (EXPRESS) program and the Pan-Pacific Planet Search (PPPS). The companion signals were revealed by multi-epoch precision radial velocities obtained during nearly a decade. The planetary companions exhibit orbital periods between $\sim$ 1.2 and 7.1 years, minimum masses of m$_{\rm p}$sini $\sim$ 1.8-3.7 M$_{jup}$ and eccentricities between 0.08 and 0.42. Including these four new systems, we have detected planetary companions to 11 out of the 37 giant stars that are common targets between the EXPRESS and PPPS. After excluding four compact binaries from the common sample, we obtained a fraction of giant planets (m$_{\rm p} \gtrsim$ 1-2 M$\_{jup}$) orbiting within 5 AU from their parent star of $f = 33.3^{+9.0}_{-7.1} \%$. This fraction is significantly higher than that previously reported in the literature by different radial velocity surveys. Similarly, planet formation models under predict the fraction of gas giant around stars more massive than the Sun.

description: The ground state properties and neutron structure factor for the two-dimensional antiferromagnet on the triangular lattice, with uni-directional anisotropy in the nearest-neighbor exchange couplings and a weak Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction, are studied. This Hamiltonian has been used to interpret neutron scattering measurements on the spin 1/2 spiral spin-density-wave system, Cs_2CuCl_4, [R. Coldea, et al., Phys. Rev. B 68, 134424 (2003)]. Calculations are performed using a 1/S expansion, taking into account interactions between spin-waves. The ground state energy, the shift of the ordering wave-vector, Q, and the local magnetization are all calculated to order 1/S^2. The neutron structure factor, obtained using anharmonic spin-wave Green's functions to order 1/S, is shown to be in reasonable agreement with published neutron data, provided that slightly different parameters are used for the exchange and DM interactions than those inferred from measurements in high magnetic field.

The asymmetries arise due to one-loop QED radiative corrections to the leptonic part of the interaction and present a systematic correction for the studies of virtual Compton Scattering on a proton through interference with the Bethe-Heitler amplitude. Considered are SSA with either longitudinally polarized electron beam or a polarized proton target. The computed effect appears to be small, not exceeding 0.1 per cent for kinematics of current virtual Compton scattering experiments.

description: Adoption of conservation tillage can lead to substantial environmental benefits from reduced soil erosion. But benefits may be partially offset if adoption increases reliance on agricultural chemicals. Using area study data from the Cornbelt, this study examines factors affecting adoption of no-till and other conservation tillage systems and their effect on chemical use and corn yield. The results find no evidence that herbicide or fertilizer application rates are higher on fields with conservation tillage systems compared with conventional tillage. However, insecticide use may increase somewhat and yield may be lower. Current demographic trends in U.S. agriculture favor continued diffusion of conservation tillage.

description: Characterizing non-local magnetic fluctuations in materials with strong electronic Coulomb interactions remains one of the major outstanding challenges of modern condensed matter theory. In this work we address the spatial symmetry and orbital structure of magnetic fluctuations in perovskite materials. To this aim, we develop a consistent multi-orbital diagrammatic extension of dynamical mean field theory, which we apply to an anisotropic three-orbital model of cubic $t_{2g}$ symmetry. We find that the form of spatial spin fluctuations is governed by the local Hund's coupling. For small values of the coupling, magnetic fluctuations are anisotropic in orbital space, which reflects the symmetry of the considered $t_{2g}$ model. Large Hund's coupling enhances collective spin excitations, which mixes orbital and spatial degrees of freedom, and magnetic fluctuations become orbitally isotropic. Remarkably, this effect can be seen only in two-particle quantities; single-particle observables remain anisotropic for any value of the Hund's coupling. Importantly, we find that the orbital isotropy can be induced both, at half-filling and for the case of $4$ electrons per lattice site, where the magnetic instability is associated with different, antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic modes, respectively.

description: In the present study, we investigate the necessity of communication skills in the Political sphere and the importance of cultivating political awareness and culture at an early age. The aim of this work is to examine the opinions of secondary education students regarding the contribution of the Social and Political Education course to their political behavior and the development of their political communication skills. The increasing depoliticization of young people served as the catalyst for this research. The sample consists of students from secondary schools in Western Macedonia. The mixed methodology used in conducting the research contributed to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the findings. The conclusions include the cognitive results of the students who participated in the study regarding the content of the Social and Political Education course, their opinions on student elections, as well as the teaching methods of the course and their consequences.
Magnetic field induced by elliiptical instability in a rotating tidally distorded sphere

description: It is usually believed that the geo-dynamo of the Earth or more generally of other planets, is created by the convective fluid motions inside their molten cores. An alternative to this thermal or compositional convection can however be found in the inertial waves resonances generated by the eventual precession of these planets or by the possible tidal distorsions of their liquid cores. We will review in this paper some of our experimental works devoted to the elliptical instability and present some new results when the experimental fluid is a liquid metal. We show in particular that an imposed magnetic field is distorted by the spin- over mode generated by the elliptical instability. In our experiment, the field is weak (20 Gauss) and the Lorenz force is negligible compared to the inertial forces, therefore the magnetic field does not modify the fluid flow and the pure hydrodynamics growth rates of the instability are recovered through magnetic measurements.

description: We use the Baum-Douglas construction of K-homology to explicitly describe various aspects of D-branes in Type II superstring theory in the absence of background supergravity form fields. We rigorously derive various stability criteria for states of D-branes and show how standard bound state constructions are naturally realized directly in terms of topological K-cycles. We formulate the mechanism of flux stabilization in terms of the K-homology of non-trivial fibre bundles. Along the way we derive a number of new mathematical results in topological K-homology of independent interest.

description: The effects of considering variable within-farm soil runoff and leaching potential on costs of reducing nitrogen losses are analyzed for a Virginia dairy. Manure applications may cause nitrogen losses through runoff and leaching because of factors such as uncertain nitrogen mineralization. Farmers can reduce nitrogen control costs by applying manure on soils with less nitrogen loss potential. Ignoring within-farm soil variability may result in overstating the farm's costs of reducing nitrogen losses.

description: Federal legislation mandates substantial reduction of air pollution emissions from electric utilities. Utilities in Appalachia that use locally mined high-sulfur coal must choose among abatement options such as fuel mixing and smokestack scrubbing technologies. Wet scrubbers are the most frequently adopted abatement technology in Ohio. This paper investigates beneficial reuses of by-product from wet scrubbers. By-product is most often disposed of in landfills, resulting in large external costs. We combine social cost and benefit transfers with a linear optimization model to investigate potential benefits of by-product recycling. Results suggest that significant incentives exist to find beneficial uses for by-product.
Spin susceptibility of underdoped cuprates: the case of Ortho-II YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.5}

description: Recent inelastic neutron scattering measurements found that the spin susceptibility of detwinned and highly ordered ortho-II YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.5} exhibits, in both the normal and superconducting states, one-dimensional incommensurate modulations at low energies which were interpreted as a signature of dynamic stripes. We propose an alternative model based on quasiparticle transitions between the arcs of a truncated Fermi surface. Such transitions are resonantly enhanced by scattering to the triplet spin resonance. We show that the anisotropy in the experimental spin response is consistent with this model if the gap at the saddle points is anisotropic.

The role of heterozygosity for ataxia telangiectasia in breast cancer
Creators: name: Bebb, Gwyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Epidemiological data suggest that women carriers for ataxia telangiectasia (AT), a cancer predisposition and radiation sensitivity syndrome have an increased risk of breast cancer. If so, the ATM would represent a novel breast cancer gene. Confirming this association has many implications, but attempts to verify it have proved difficult because AT carriers have no clinical phenotype. This thesis describes a series of studies designed to investigate a possible role for the ataxia telangiectasia gene in the development and management of breast cancer. The first half of the thesis describes attempts to perfect two phenotypic assays to identify AT carriers based on in vitro cellular responses to ionizing radiation. Enhancement of chromosomal radiation-sensitivity by caffeine failed to improve discrimination of AT heterozygotes, suggesting that caffeine simulates the cellular AT defect. Studies of radiationinduced apoptosis revealed an impaired ability to implement the death pathway in AT cells. AT heterozygous lymphoblasts, but not primary lymphocytes, were discriminated by this assay. The paradoxical apoptotic response of AT cells deserves further investigation. Logically, the second half of the thesis applies knowledge of a candidate gene for ataxia telangiectasia (ATM) in two separate approaches. The first was to screen a series of sporadic breast cancer patients for mutations in the ATM gene using the protein truncation test (PTT). No mutations were found. Although this does not confirm the association between AT and breast cancer, neither does it exclude it. A large scale sequencing exercise of the whole ATM gene may be the required next step. The second looked for evidence of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the ATM locus in breast cancer by comparing tumour-derived with constitutional DNA. ATM LOH occurred at a high frequency suggesting it may be a mechanism underlying breast carcinogenesis. The radio-therapeutic implication of ATM LOH is being assessed by five-year survival and recurrence data. Investigating the role of ATM in breast cancer has implications in all aspects of breast cancer management. Not only does it shed light on breast cancer aetiology but also on predisposition and screening. Most exciting however, is the possibility that future anti-cancer therapy may be dictated by the genetic make-up of tumour and patient

description: Eight input combinations of commercial fertilizer, insecticides, and herbicides on a corn-soybean crop rotation in the Brazos River Bottom of Texas are evaluated. Input combinations which do not fully utilize all three inputs are consistently ranked higher by all criteria as the preferred input strategy for the corn-soybean rotation system. These results, which indicate limited input crop rotations that fall somewhere between the extremes of conventional agricultural production and organic agriculture, deserve further attention as a possible production alternative.
