description: We systematically study emergent Kondo lattice models from magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene using the topological heavy fermion representation. At the commensurate fillings, we demonstrate a series of symmetric strongly correlated metallic states driven by the hybridization between a triangular lattice of $SU(8)$ local moments and delocalized fermions. In particular, a (fragile) topological Dirac Kondo semimetal can be realized, providing a potential explanation for the symmetry-preserving correlated state at $ν=0$. We further investigate the stability of the Dirac Kondo semimetal by constructing a quantum phase diagram showing the interplay between Kondo hybridization and magnetic correlation. The destruction of Kondo hybridization suggests that the magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene may be on the verge of a solid-state quantum simulator for novel magnetic orders on a triangular lattice. Experimental implications are also discussed.

description: Kuperberg introduced web spaces for some Lie algebras which are generalizations of the Kauffman bracket skein module on a disk with marked points. We derive some formulas for $A_1$ and $A_2$ clasped web spaces by graphical calculus using skein theory. These formulas are colored version of skein relations, twist formulas and bubble skein expansion formulas. We calculate the $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ and $\mathfrak{sl}_3$ colored Jones polynomials of $2$-bridge knots and links explicitly using twist formulas.

description: To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, many countries plan to massively expand wind power and solar photovoltaic capacities. These variable renewable energy sources require additional flexibility in the power sector. Both geographical balancing enabled by interconnection and electricity storage can provide such flexibility. In a 100% renewable energy scenario of twelve central European countries, we investigate how geographical balancing between countries reduces the need for electricity storage. Our principal contribution is to separate and quantify the different factors at play. Applying a capacity expansion model and a factorization method, we disentangle the effect of interconnection on optimal storage capacities through distinct factors: differences in countries' solar PV and wind power availability patterns, load profiles, as well as hydropower and bioenergy capacity portfolios. Results show that interconnection reduces storage needs by around 30% in contrast to a scenario without interconnection. Differences in wind power profiles between countries explain around 80% of that effect.

description: Η εκλογική διαδικασία είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα στοιχεία ενός δημοκρατικού πολιτεύματος. Για το λόγο αυτό, ο εκλογικός νόμος και οι νομοθέτες θεωρούνται εξαιρετικά σημαντικοί για την εκλογική διαδικασία και τα αποτελέσματα. Ένας εκλογικός νόμος μπορεί να αποτύχει, δημιουργώντας κενά στα εκλογικά αποτελέσματα με τρόπο στρεβλωτικό. Ένας εκλογικός νόμος αποσκοπεί στην όσο το δυνατόν καλύτερη αποτύπωση των ιδιαιτεροτήτων του κράτους, μέσα από την εκλογική διαδικασία. Η ψήφος, τα κόμματα, η γεωγραφία του κράτους είναι κάποια από τα συστατικά, τα οποία ένας νομοθέτης οφείλει να σκεφτεί. Εξίσου σημαντικό με όλα αυτά, ωστόσο, συνεχίζει να είναι το ζητούμενο της διακυβέρνησης. Ένας εκλογικός νόμος επηρεάζει την διακυβέρνηση και άρα ο νομοθέτης οφείλει να έχει ξεκάθαρη εικόνα του ζητούμενου, κάθε φορά που ένας εκλογικός νόμος αλλάζει. Η παρούσα εργασία έχει στόχο να συγκεντρώσει στοιχεία, ώστε να γίνει αποτίμηση της εκλογικής διαδικασίας και του αποτελέσματος, για τις δημοτικές και περιφερειακές εκλογές του 2019
description: The elections’ procedure is one of the most important aspects of a democratic system of governance. The electoral law and the legislators are considered to be the most crucial for this particular procedure and its results. An electoral law an always fail and as a result of this failure, can create disproportions and gaps in a twisted aspect. In reality, an electoral law aims the best capture of the features of each state, through the procedure of the elections. The landscape of the state, the parties, the vote itself, are some of these features. Moreover, as important as the procedure is the governance itself. The kind of governance that is needed each time the elections are held, derives from the electoral law that the legislators create. This paper examines the municipal and regional elections in Greece in 2019 regarding all the above, making a comparison between Sartori’s theory and reality

description: We introduce an energy functional for ground-state electronic structure calculations. Its variables are the natural spin-orbitals of singlet many-body wave functions and their joint occupation probabilities deriving from controlled approximations to the two-particle density matrix that yield algebraic scaling in general, and Hartree-Fock scaling in its seniority-zero version. Results from the latter version for small molecular systems are compared with those of highly accurate quantum-chemical computations. The energies lie above full configuration interaction calculations, close to doubly occupied configuration interaction calculations. Their accuracy is considerably greater than that obtained from current density-functional theory approximations and from current functionals of the one-particle density matrix.

description: During the set of direct numerical simulations of the forced isotropic turbulence of surface gravity waves in the framework of primordial dynamical equations, the universal inverse cascade spectrum was observed. The slope of the spectrum is the same (in the margin of error) for different levels of pumping and nonlinearity as well as dissipation present in the system. In all simulation runs formation of the inverse cascade spectrum was accompanied by appearance of strong long wave background (condensate). The observed slope of the spectrum $\sim k^{-3.07}$ is different from the constant wave action flux solution predicted by the Theory of Wave Turbulence $\sim k^{-23/6}$.

description: We use an external spin as a dynamical probe of many body localization. The probe spin is coupled to an interacting and disordered environment described by a Heisenberg spin chain in a random field. The spin-chain environment can be tuned between a thermalizing delocalized phase and non-thermalizing localized phase, both in its ground- and high-energy states. We study the decoherence of the probe spin when it couples to the environment prepared in three states: the ground state, the infinite temperature state and a high energy Néel state. In the non-thermalizing many body localized regime, the coherence shows scaling behaviour in the disorder strength. The long-time dynamics of the probe spin shows a logarithmic dephasing in analogy with the logarithmic growth of entanglement entropy for a bi-partition of a many-body localized system. In summary, we show that decoherence of the probe spin provides clear signatures of many-body localization.

description: Το ενδιαφέρον των ανθρώπων για τον ουρανό και τα ουράνια σώματα εκδηλώθηκε ήδη από την Αρχαία Ελλάδα, με φιλοσόφους όπως ο Πυθαγόρας, ο Ερατοσθένης, ο Ίππαρχος να μελετούν τα άστρα και να καταγράφουν τις πρώτες θεωρίες για το πλανητικό μας σύστημα. Σήμερα, έχουμε φτάσει να χρησιμοποιούμε τις διαστημικές τεχνολογίες και τις υπηρεσίες που μας παρέχουν σε ποικίλους τομείς της καθημερινής μας ζωής, από την πρόγνωση του καιρού, μέχρι τις επικοινωνίες και την αυτόνομη οδήγηση οχημάτων. Η Ευρώπη έχει δημιουργήσει μία πληθώρα προγραμμάτων που στοχεύουν από την κατασκευή δορυφόρων μέχρι την ανάπτυξη υπηρεσιών και εφαρμογών για την κάλυψη των αναγκών των ευρωπαίων πολιτών, αλλά και στη δική της αυτονομία σε περίπτωση κρίσιμων συνθηκών. Η Ελλάδα ενσωματώνει τη στρατηγική της Ευρώπης στα δικά της εθνικά προγράμματα και προωθεί την συμμετοχή τόσο των δημόσιων αλλά και των ιδιωτικών φορέων σε προγράμματα ανάπτυξης διαστημικών τεχνολογιών και εφαρμογών. Ένα πολύ σημαντικό πρόβλημα της σημερινής εποχής είναι ότι οι πόροι που είναι ζωτικής σημασίας για την επιβίωση των ανθρώπων είναι πεπερασμένοι. Ακόμα και για τους ανανεώσιμους φυσικούς πόρους βασιζόμαστε στα φυσικά συστήματα της Γης για την ανανέωσή τους.

description: The interest of people towards the sky and the celestial bodies was already manifested from Ancient Greece, with philosophers such as Pythagoras, Eratosthenes, Hipparchus studing the stars and recording the first theories about our planetary system. Today, we use space technologies and services in a variety of areas in our daily lives, from weather forecasting to communications and autonomous vehicle driving.Europe has set up a number of programs aimed at building satellites and developing services and applications to meet the needs of European citizens, as well as its own autonomy in the event of a crisis. Greece integrates Europe's strategy into its own national programs and promotes the participation of both public and private actors in space technology and application development programs. A very important problem in our days is that the resources that are vital to human survival are finite. Even for renewable natural resources we rely on the Earth's natural systems for their renewal. Today, the growing interdependence of nation and international trade on natural resources makes their management a matter of global concern. To solve this problem, the space technologies and the services they offer are utilized

description: We introduce a new search strategy for visibly decaying muonphilic particles using a proton beam spectrometer modeled after the SpinQuest experiment at Fermilab. In this setup, a ${\sim}$100 GeV primary proton beam impinges on a thick fixed target and yields a secondary muon beam. As these muons traverse the target material, they scatter off nuclei and can radiatively produce hypothetical muonphilic particles as initial- and final-state radiation. If such new states decay to dimuons, their combined invariant mass can be measured with a downstream spectrometer immersed in a Tesla-scale magnetic field. For a representative setup with $3\times 10^{14}$ muons on target with typical energies of $\sim$ 20 GeV, a $15\%$ invariant mass resolution, and an effective 100 cm target length, this strategy can probe the entire parameter space for which $\sim$ 200 MeV -- GeV scalar particles resolve the muon $g-2$ anomaly. We present sensitivity to these scalar particles at the SpinQuest experiment where no additional hardware is needed and the search could be parasitically executed within the primary nuclear physics program. Future proton beam dump experiments with optimized beam and detector configurations could have even greater sensitivity.

description: Computational micromagnetics requires numerical solution of partial differential equations to resolve complex interactions in magnetic nanomaterials. The Virtual Micromagnetics project described here provides virtual machine simulation environments to run open-source micromagnetic simulation packages. These environments allow easy access to simulation packages that are often difficult to compile and install, and enable simulations and their data to be shared and stored in a single virtual hard disk file, which encourages reproducible research. Virtual Micromagnetics can be extended to automate the installation of micromagnetic simulation packages on non-virtual machines, and to support closed-source and new open-source simulation packages, including packages from disciplines other than micromagnetics, encouraging reuse. Virtual Micromagnetics is stored in a public GitHub repository under a three-clause Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license.

description: In this paper, we investigate the localization of the $U(1)$ gauge field on Randall-Sundrum-like braneworld models. The localization of the $U(1)$ gauge field is important because it plays a fundamental role in the branworld theories. To achieve the localization, we propose a novel action with a non-minimal coupling between the $U(1)$ gauge field and gravity. We find that the mass spectrum of the gauge field is continuous, without any gap between the zero-mass mode and the massive modes, and except for the zero-mass mode all the massive modes are not localized on the brane. Furthermore, the massive modes have negative squared masses, indicating they are tachyonic. Our analysis can be applied to a wide range of thin and thick braneworld scenarios, provided that the five-dimensional spacetime is asymptotically anti-de Sitter.

description: General Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity with a cosmological constant allows two (A)dS spacetimes as its vacuum solutions. We find a critical point in the parameter space where the two (A)dS spacetimes coalesce into one and the linearized perturbations lack any bilinear kinetic terms. The vacuum perturbations hence loose their interpretation as linear graviton modes at the critical point. Nevertheless, the critical theory admits black hole solutions due to the nonlinear effect. We also consider Einstein gravity extended with general quadratic curvature invariants and obtain critical points where the theory has no bilinear kinetic terms for either the scalar trace mode or the transverse modes. Such critical phenomena are expected to occur frequently in general higher derivative gravities.

description: Coumarin is a naturally occurring lactone-type benzopyrone with various applications in the pharmaceutical, food, perfume, and cosmetics industries. This hydrophobic compound is poorly soluble in water but dissolves well in protic organic solvents such as alcohols. Despite the extensive use of coumarin, there are only a few reports documenting its solubility in organic solvents, and some reported data are incongruent, which was the direct impulse for this study. To resolve this problem, a theoretical congruency test was formulated using COSMO-RS-DARE for the determination of intermolecular interaction parameters, which allowed for the identification of outliers as suspicious datasets. The perfect match between back-computed values of coumarin solubility and the experimental ones confirms the reliability of the formulated theoretical approach and its adequacy for testing solubility data consistency. As the final approval, the temperature-related coumarin solubility in seven neat alcohols was determined experimentally. Four solvents (methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol) were used for reproducibility purposes, and an additional three (1-butanol, 1-pentanol, and 1-octanol) were used to extend the information on the homologous series. The consistency of this extended solubility dataset is discussed in terms of the comparison of remeasured solubility values with the ones already published and within the series of structurally similar solvents. The proposed procedure extends the range of applicability of COSMO-RS-DARE and provides a real and useful tool for consistency tests of already published solubility data, allowing for the approval/disapproval of existing data and filling gaps in datasets. Linear regressions utilizing a 2D molecular descriptor, SpMin2_Bhm, or the distance between solute and solvent in the Hansen solubility space, Ra, were formulated for the estimation of COMSO-RS-DARE integration parameters.
Interpolations of Smoke and Liquid Simulations

description: We present a novel method to interpolate smoke and liquid simulations in order to perform data-driven fluid simulations. Our approach calculates a dense space-time deformation using grid-based signed-distance functions of the inputs. A key advantage of this implicit Eulerian representation is that it allows us to use powerful techniques from the optical flow area. We employ a five-dimensional optical flow solve. In combination with a projection algorithm, and residual iterations, we achieve a robust matching of the inputs. Once the match is computed, arbitrary in between variants can be created very efficiently. To concatenate multiple long-range deformations, we propose a novel alignment technique. Our approach has numerous advantages, including automatic matches without user input, volumetric deformations that can be applied to details around the surface, and the inherent handling of topology changes. As a result, we can interpolate swirling smoke clouds, and splashing liquid simulations. We can even match and interpolate phenomena with fundamentally different physics: a drop of liquid, and a blob of heavy smoke.

description: Στην παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή διπλωματική εργασία επιχειρείται μία ανασκόπηση της έννοιας της υπερφονικότητας σε σχέση με τις κοινωνικές αντιλήψεις απέναντι στους υπερφονικούς δράστες. Καθώς δεν διεξήχθη ποιοτική έρευνα με ερωτηματολόγια ή συνεντεύξεις δεν υπάρχει ερευνητικό μέρος, παρά μόνο θεωρητική προσέγγιση του θέματος της υπερφονικότητας. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, γίνεται αναφορά στον στιγματισμό των υπερφονικών δραστών και ειδικότερα στον τρόπο με τον οποίο η κοινωνία αντιμετωπίζει τους ίδιους και τις οικογένειές τους
description: In this dissertation, a review of the concept of overkill in relation to social perceptions of overkilling perpetrators is attempted. As no qualitative research was conducted through questionnaires or interviews, there is no research part, only a theoretical approach to the issue of overkill. More specifically, reference is made to the stigmatization of suicidal perpetrators and in particular to the way in which society treats themselves and their families

description: The growing field of quantum information technology requires propagation of information over long distances with efficient readout mechanisms. Excitonic quantum fluids have emerged as a powerful platform for this task due to their straightforward electro-optical conversion. In two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, the coupling between spin and valley provides exciting opportunities for harnessing, manipulating and storing bits of information. However, the large inhomogeneity of single layers cannot be overcome by the properties of bright excitons, hindering spin-valley transport. Nonetheless, the rich band structure supports dark excitonic states with strong binding energy and longer lifetime, ideally suited for long-range transport. Here we show that dark excitons can diffuse over several micrometers and prove that this repulsion-driven propagation is robust across non-uniform samples. The long-range propagation of dark states with an optical readout mediated by chiral phonons provides a new concept of excitonic devices for applications in both classical and quantum information technology.

description: Background: Despite the deleterious effects posing on the life of young women, the sensitiveness and stigma associated with Gender Based Violence (GBV) and lack of data have hampered full understanding and the development of appropriate interventions. Methods: Cross-sectional institution based survey, using self-administered anonymous questionnaire and focus group discussion, was conducted among college female students found in Mekelle, Northern Ethiopia in March 2007 to determine the prevalence and associated factors of gender based violence. A total of 1024 female students were involved in the study. Prevalence was calculated using frequencies and logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals using SPSS statistical packages. Result: Among the respondents, the overall prevalence of GBV in lifetime and in the current year was found to be 62.1% (95%CI: 59.1, 65.1) and 40.2% (95%CI: 37.2, 43.2) respectively. Prevalence of sexual violence in lifetime, since joining college and in the current academic year was 45.4% (95%CI: 42.4, 48.4), 34.4% (95%CI: 31.5, 37.3) and 28.1% (95%CI: 25.3, 30.9) respectively where as the prevalence of physical violence in this order being 46.3% (95%CI: 43.2, 49.4), 32.3% (95%CI: 29.4, 35.2) and 26.4% (95%CI: 23.7, 29.1). Current year GBV was associated with female students who witnessed parental violence as a child, having boyfriend currently, who were sexually active at the time of the survey, with history of alcohol consumption and having drunken peers (males or/and females), whose childhood residence was in rural area and having poor school performance. In the focus group discussions both in female and male groups, it was underscored that officials' tolerance, traditions rewarding manliness and females' loss of confidence as how to negotiate about sexual relations were exposing girls to gender based violence even in higher learning institution. Conclusion: Based on the findings of the survey, it is concluded that gender based violence is common and serious problem among college female students in the study area. Therefore, it is recommended that GBV needs due attention and remedial action from policy makers, college officials, non-governmental organizations, parents, students and other concerned bodies. viii Programs aimed at preventing gender-based violence must address these identified factors or correlates of violence against female students

description: Μέσα στο πένθιμο κλίμα της Μεγάλης Τεσσαρακοστής, ξεπροβάλλουν σαν οάσεις οι ημέρες των Κυριακών, οι οποίες ξεχωρίζουν με την τέλεση της θείας Λειτουργίας, την μερική κατάλυση της νηστείας και την ύπαρξη διαφόρων εορτών. Η μακραίωνη διαμόρφωση των εορτολογικών θεμάτων καταδεικνύει την επιβίωση μέχρι και σήμερα λειτουργικών στρωμάτων, τα οποία έχουν την καταγωγή τους στα Ιεροσόλυμα και, μετά από μετατροπές και διαφοροποιήσεις που δέχθηκαν στην Κωνσταντινούπολη, έλαβαν την μορφή που έχουν στην σύγχρονη λειτουργική πρακτική. Η εξέταση των επιμέρους θεμάτων στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία άρχεται με την ιεροσολυμιτική παράδοση του 7ου αι., μέσα από το Κανονάριο της Αγίας Πόλης, συνεχίζεται με το «Τυπικό» της Αγίας Σοφίας Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, το οποίο μεταφέρει την παράδοση της πρωτεύουσας της Βυζαντινής Αυτοκρατορίας λίγο πριν τον 10ο αι. και φθάνει μέχρι την τελική διαμόρφωση του κύκλου του Τριωδίου και των Κυριακών της Τεσσαρακοστής στην σημερινή του μορφή. Η συνεξέταση των Τυπικών και των Τριωδίων φανερώνει την εξέλιξη και την διαμόρφωση των εορτολογικών θεμάτων των Κυριακών, μέσα σε μία πορεία τουλάχιστον δέκα αιώνων
description: In the penitential climate of Great Lent, the days of the Lord (Sunday) shine forth as a spiritual oasis. Sundays are distinct from the other days due to the celebration of a complete Divine Liturgy, the partial relaxation of the fast, and the commemoration of specific feasts. The age-old formulation of heortological themes is indicative of the survival of various liturgical strata originating in the liturgical tradition of Jerusalem. These remnants were incorporated into the Byzantine Rite and helped shape the Church’s current liturgical practice. We commence the present thesis by analyzing and examining the ancient liturgical sources of Jerusalem, namely, the 7th century Kanonarion of the Holy City. We then move on to the so-called “Typikon” on the Great Church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, which showcases the tradition of the imperial Capital of the Byzantine Empire just prior to the 10th century. Finally, we study the subsequent development of the Triodion cycle and, specifically, the Sundays of Lent in their contemporary form. The comparative evaluation of the sources of both the Typikon and the Triodion highlights the development of the heorotolgical themes of the Sundays over a period of at least ten centuries

description: It is a well-known fact that a cluster of nucleons can be formed in the interior of an atomic nucleus, and such clusters may occupy molecular-like orbitals, showing characteristics similar to normal molecules consisting of atoms. Chemical molecules having a linear alignment are commonly seen in nature, such as carbon dioxide. A similar linear alignment of the nuclear clusters, referred to as linear-chain cluster state (LCCS), has been studied since the 1950s, however, up to now there is no clear experimental evidence demonstrating the existence of such a state. Recently, it was proposed that an excess of neutrons may offer just such a stabilizing mechanism, revitalizing interest in the nuclear LCCS, specifically with predictions for their emergence in neutron-rich carbon isotopes. Here we present the experimental observation of α-cluster states in the radioactive 14C nucleus. Using the 10Be+α resonant scattering method with a radioactive beam, we observed a series of levels which completely agree with theoretically predicted levels having an explicit linear-chain cluster configuration. We regard this as the first strong indication of the linear-chain clustered nucleus.

description: We unravel a fundamental connection between supersymmetry and a wide class of two dimensional second-order topological insulators (SOTI). This particular supersymmetry is induced by applying a half-integer Aharonov-Bohm flux $f=Φ/Φ_0=1/2$ through a hole in the system. Here, three symmetries are essential to establish this fundamental link: chiral symmetry, inversion symmetry, and mirror symmetry. At such a flux of half-integer value the mirror symmetry anticommutes with the inversion symmetry leading to a nontrivial $n=1$-SUSY representation for the absolute value of the Hamiltonian in each chiral sector, separately. This implies that a unique zero-energy state and an exact twofold degeneracy of all eigenstates with non-zero energy is found even at finite system size. For arbitrary smooth surfaces the link between 2D-SOTI and SUSY can be described within a universal low-energy theory in terms of an effective surface Hamiltonian which encompasses the whole class of supersymmetric periodic Witten models. Applying this general link to the prototypical example of a Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang(BHZ)-model with an in-plane Zeeman field, we analyze the entire phase diagram and identify a gapless Weyl phase separating the topological from the non-topological gapped phase. Surprisingly, we find that topological states localized at the outer surface remain in the Weyl phase, whereas topological hole states move to the outer surface and change their spatial symmetry upon approaching the Weyl phase. Therefore, the topological hole states can be tuned in a versatile manner opening up a route towards magnetic-field-induced topological engineering in multi-hole systems. Finally, we demonstrate the stability of localized states against deviation from half-integer flux, flux penetration into the sample, surface distortions, and random impurities for impurity strengths up to the order of the surface gap.

description: While green hydrogen holds promise for enhancing energy security and achieving climate goals, challenges such as the variability of renewable sources hinder its integration into industries. To overcome these obstacles, this thesis introduces structured frameworks for designing green hydrogen-based distributed energy systems and supply chains by employing process system engineering, mathematical programming, and decision-making methodologies. The research involves devising multi-criteria optimal configurations for these sustainable green hydrogen-based networks, aiming to foster renewable energy adoption and create a resilient energy future.

description: We prove the presence of topological chaos at high internal energies for a new class of mechanical refraction billiards coming from Celestial Mechanics. Given a smooth closed domain $D\in\mathbb{R}^2$, a central mass generates a Keplerian potential in it, while, in $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus \overline{D}$, a harmonic oscillator-type potential acts. At the interface, Snell's law of refraction holds. The chaoticity result is obtained by imposing progressive assumptions on the domain, arriving to geometric conditions which hold generically in $C^1$. The workflow starts with the existence of a symbolic dynamics and ends with the proof of topological chaos, passing through the analytic non-integrability and the presence of multiple heteroclinic connections between different equilibrium saddle points. This work can be considered as the final step of the investigation carried on in arXiv:2108.11159 [math.DS] and arXiv:2105.02108 [math.DS].
