description: Ο βασικός σκοπός της διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν να διαπιστωθεί πώς μια επιχείρηση μπορεί να αναπτύξει την πελατειακή πιστότητα μέσω της διαχείρισης των πελατειακών εμπειριών. Διαπιστώθηκε ύστερα από μελέτη ότι η αφοσίωση του πελάτη αποτελεί στοιχείο καταλυτικής σημασίας και βοηθάει στην απόκτηση συγκριτικού πλεονεκτήματος για τις επιχειρήσεις. Γι’ αυτό το λόγο εξετάστηκαν και προσδιορίστηκαν αναλυτικά οι έννοιες της πελατειακής πίστης και των πελατειακών εμπειριών. Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάστηκαν εξονυχιστικά όλοι οι παράμετροι των πελατειακών εμπειριών που θα συντελέσουν στη δημιουργία επιτυχημένων πελατειακών σχέσεων που προσδοκεί να πετύχει μια επιχείρηση. Ακόμη, εντοπίστηκαν και αναλύθηκαν όλα τα πλεονεκτήματα που προκύπτουν από την διαχείριση των πελατειακών εμπειριών και παρουσιάστηκαν τα τρία κυριότερα μοντέλα. Έπειτα, έγινε η παρουσίαση και ο σχολιασμός της εφαρμογής του μοντέλου του Schmitt από το εθνικό πάρκο Grand Teton των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών. Τέλος, προτάθηκε το βελτιωμένο και εμπλουτισμένο μοντέλο διαχείρισης πελατειακών εμπειριών, το οποίο και εφαρμόστηκε στο περιβαλλοντικό κέντρο «Αρκτούρος».
description: The aim of the current master thesis was to be realised how an enterprise can develop the customer loyalty through the management of customer experiences. After study, it was found out that the devotion of customer constitutes an important element and helps in the acquisition of comparative advantage for the enterprises. For this reason it was analytically examined and determined the significance of customer loyalty and customer experiences, as well. Afterwards, it was presented thoroughly all the parameters of customer experiences which will contribute in the creation of successful customer relations. Moreover, it was located and analyzed the whole advantages of the customer experience management and then, it was represented the three fundamental models of CEM. Furthermore, it was presented and annotated the application of the Schmitt model from the national park Grand Teton of United States. Finally, it was proposed the improved and enriched model of customer experience management which was also applied in the environmental centre “Arktouros”.

description: The current polarisation in public debate surrounding governmental regulatory responses to the Covid-19 pandemic is reminiscent of early modern tensions in the understanding of the locus of authority for knowledge, and of the relation between knowledge and action. Here I bring into dialogue natural philosophy, intellectual history, and Aristotelian physics, in order to examine how the early modern understanding of knowledge reflects, challenges, and responds to the tension between advances in the natural sciences, and the legacy of ancient and medieval theoretical epistemic traditions. I argue that the early modern understanding of knowledge, as well as of the relation between knowledge and action, are based on an implicit recasting of human nature and intellect in physical terms. In particular, I suggest that the early modern idea of knowledge was recast in terms of the Aristotelian physics of motion, as reformulated by the scholastic tradition which it purported to reject. Viewed through this physical recasting, the quest for knowledge acquires normative purpose, which, if transposed to the current debate surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic, may offer a historically informed perspective from which to reflect on the assumptions, rationale, modalities, justification, and implications of governmental regulatory intervention, as well as on the potential and limitations of collective and individual resistance to such regulations.

Έπειτα από μελέτη του νομισματικού υλικού, επιλέγονται τα νομισματοκοπεία τα οποία παρουσιάζουν διονυσιακά στοιχεία και αναλύονται στο σύνολό τους, έτσι ώστε να προσδώσουν στον αναγνώστη μία πλήρη εικόνα για την θέση και την ποσότητα των διονυσιακών στοιχείων και συμβόλων στο εκάστοτε νομισματοκοπείο.

description: The present essay focuses on the worship of god Dionysus, as indicated by the coins of the Greek colonies of Chalcidice, from the beginning of the numismatic activity in the region during the 2nd half of the sixth century B.C, until the incorporation of the dominion, in the Macedonian Kingdom of Philip the second, after 438 B.C. After studying the numismatic material we select the mints which use Dionysian elements, and we analyze them, intending to offer readers a complete aspect of the location and the quantity of those elements for each mint. Through the combination of the findings coming from the archaeological search, ancient literary sources and numismatic research we seek the presence of the Dionysian element in Chalcidice, the possible influences from other regions of the Greek world, and individualities that can only be identified in this area.

Real and apparent inconsistencies in Davidson’s view of interpretation
Creators: name: Johnson, Jennifer Elisabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In "Radical Interpretation" and "A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs" Donald Davidson addresses the question how we are able to understand what people say. Davidson intends the positive arguments in these two essays to be part of a coherent explanation of communication. However, there are, I will argue, inconsistencies between the theories in his two essays which suggest that they are not reconcilable into a coherent picture. In chapters one and two I will explicate the arguments that Davidson presents in "Radical Interpretation" and "A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs". In chapter three I will discuss several areas in which discrepancies between the positions presented in these two papers seem to arise. The issues that will be discussed in chapter three stem from an apparent inconsistency in Davidson's position regarding the time period over which interpretation should occur. In "Radical Interpretation" Davidson maintains that interpretation should occur over an extended period of time, while in "A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs" he maintains that what is necessary for interpretation cannot be learned prior to the occasion of utterance. Although it may appear that he is inconsistent on this issue, I will argue that the differences between the descriptions of interpretation m the two papers are differences of emphasis rather than differences of substance. In chapter four I will argue that there is, however, a genuine inconsistency between the conception of linguistic meaning presented in "Radical Interpretation" and the one presented in "A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs". Whereas in "Radical Interpretation" meaning is held to be discovered by the interpreter, in "A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs" meaning is held to be created by the speaker and interpreter. I will argue that this latter conception of meaning is problematic because it assumes that meaning is derived from, rather than being independent of, communication. I will conclude that the theories of interpretation presented in these two essays are, therefore, irreconcilable and that, of the two, the picture presented in "Radical Interpretation" is superior.

description: We respond to criticism of our paper "Paradox in Wave-Paricle Duality for Non-Perturbative Measurements". We disagree with Steuernagel's derivation of the visibility of the Afshar experiment. To calculate the fringe visibility, Steuernagel utilizes two different experimental situations, i.e. the wire grid in the pattern minima and in the pattern maxima. In our assessment, this proceduere cannot lead to the correct result for the complementarity properties of wave-particle in one particular experimental set-up.

description: Infrared observations probe the warm gas in the inner regions of planet-forming disks around young sun-like, T Tauri stars. In these systems, H$_2$O, OH, CO, CO$_2$, C$_2$H$_2$, and HCN have been widely observed. However, the potentially abundant carbon carrier CH$_4$ remains largely unconstrained. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be able to characterize mid-infrared fluxes of CH$_4$ along with several other carriers of carbon and oxygen. In anticipation of the JWST mission, we model the physical and chemical structure of a T Tauri disk to predict the abundances and mid-infrared fluxes of observable molecules. A range of compositional scenarios are explored involving the destruction of refractory carbon materials and alterations to the total elemental (volatile and refractory) C/O ratio. Photon-driven chemistry in the inner disk surface layers largely destroys the initial carbon and oxygen carriers. This causes models with the same physical structure and C/O ratio to have similar steady state surface compositions, regardless of the initial chemical abundances. Initial disk compositions are better preserved in the shielded inner disk midplane. The degree of similarity between the surface and midplane compositions in the inner disk will depend on the characteristics of vertical mixing at these radii. Our modeled fluxes of observable molecules respond sensitively to changes in the disk gas temperature, inner radius, and the total elemental C/O ratio. As a result, mid-infrared observations of disks will be useful probes of these fundamental disk parameters, including the C/O ratio, which can be compared to values determined for planetary atmospheres.

description: Modern science and engineering computing environments often feature storage systems of different types, from parallel file systems in high-performance computing centers to object stores operated by cloud providers. To enable easy, reliable, secure, and performant data exchange among these different systems, we propose Connector, a pluggable data access architecture for diverse, distributed storage. By abstracting low-level storage system details, this abstraction permits a managed data transfer service (Globus in our case) to interact with a large and easily extended set of storage systems. Equally important, it supports third-party transfers: that is, direct data transfers from source to destination that are initiated by a third-party client but do not engage that third party in the data path. The abstraction also enables management of transfers for performance optimization, error handling, and end-to-end integrity. We present the Connector design, describe implementations for different storage services, evaluate tradeoffs inherent in managed vs.\ direct transfers, motivate recommended deployment options, and propose a performance model-based method that allows for easy characterization of performance in different contexts without exhaustive benchmarking.

Sous la présidence d’un historien, une quinzaine de représentants des sciences humaines et sociales pratiquées à l’université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne ont librement échangé sur leurs usages scientifiques, leur façon de se définir institutionnellement, la place de l’histoire et le rapport au passé dans leurs champs respectifs, leur formation et la construction de leurs carrières aussi. Ces questionnements développés en commun visaient à déplacer les lignes et à sortir de configurations pensées en termes de conflits des facultés et de hiérarchies (l’histoire et les sciences auxiliaires). Loin de toute épistémologie essentialiste, il s’agissait de réfléchir sur les méthodes, mais aussi sur les conditions, les possibilités, et les limites, du dialogue entre disciplines.

English Title and Abstract Who Says that Only Historians Do History Work? Practices and Institutionalizations of Research on the Past by Non-Historians When are we ‘historians’?

In jointly developing these issues, they aimed at moving the lines—at escaping the various configurations of the present ‘conflict of the faculties’ and of disciplinary hierarchies (history vs. auxiliary sciences). Far from any essentialist epistemology, the intent of this conversation was to reflect on the methods, but also on the conditions, possibilities, and limits of the current dialogue between disciplines.

description: Computational modeling is an important aspect of the research on nuclear waste materials. In particular, atomistic simulations, when used complementary to experimental efforts, contribute to the scientific basis of safety case for nuclear waste repositories. Here we discuss the state-of-the-art and perspectives of atomistic modeling for nuclear waste management on a few cases of successful synergy of atomistic simulations and experiments. In particular, we discuss here: (1) the potential of atomistic simulations to investigate the uranium oxidation state in mixed valence uranium oxides and (2) the ability of cementitious barrier materials to retain radionuclides such as 226Ra and 90Sr, and of studtite/metastudtite secondary peroxide phases to incorporate actinides such as Np and Am. The new contribution we make here is the computation of the incorporation of Sr by C-S-H (calcium silicate hydrate) phases.

description: We present a partial analysis of a multi-wavelength study of the X-ray binary Cir X-1, a system harboring the most relativistic outflow in our galaxy so far. The data were taken (almost) simultaneously in radio and X ray during a survey carried out in October 2000 and December 2002. Cir X-1 was observed at the radio frequencies of 4.8 and 8.6 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). In the X-ray spectral domain we used the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). We found strong evidence for flaring activity in radio not only at the periastron but also at the apoastron passages. A comparison of our data against different correlations between radio and X ray found in other neutron star systems shows that Cir X-1 does not seem to follow the general trend. However, the fact that Cir X-1 is an `exotic' X-ray binary makes any interpretation more complicated.

description: Yellow fever appeared in Senegal during the Atlantic slave trade. The epidemic episodes of this pathology were both a revealer of social processes and a driving force for the transformation of colonial society. From the point of view of the history of science and medical ideas, yellow fever sheds light on the social body in its various interactions and makes more visible the essential joints of the group, the lines of force and tensions that run through it. From group survival strategies to commercial and political wars, the morbid event is a privileged place from which one can better observe colonial society in its administrative mechanisms and relationships between powers. The present study focuses on a long-term analysis of the medical discourse and practices around yellow fever with regard to, among other things, the domestication of Western biomedical science outside its zone of elaboration, as well as the implementation of a particular form of medical practice as an expression of domination. The epidemics of 1878-1881, 1900 and 1927 were important moments for the evolution of ideas about disease, while at the same time they induced ruptures and transformations in social groups and geographical space (architecture). They show how scientific views and theories condition and determine health policies in the colonies.

description: In recent years increasing tendency has been found in patients’ use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as an adjunct to cancer treatment. Although many patients wish to discuss the safe use of CAM with a health professional, they rarely do. Several studies have attempted to develop and test interventions integrating the dialogue about CAM in clinical oncology practice, but to the best of our knowledge, no review has mapped the different interventions.
The purpose of this scoping review is to provide an overview of available interventions aiming to integrate dialogue about CAM in conventional clinical oncology practice.
Nicea, oriente contro occidente?

description: L’articolo si domanda se e quando la controversia attorno a Nicea sia stata vista come un conflitto tra oriente e occidente. A questo proposito, è necessario individuare i gruppi in conflitto e i parametri delle controversie. Innanzitutto, si studia l’origine del Figlio di Dio secondo Eusebio, Ario e Alessandro, per comprendere i parametri teologici all’inizio della crisi ariana; si analizza il concilio di Antiochia (341), che aggiunse ulteriori parametri dottrinali; e si esamina l’origine e la prima ricezione dell’homoousios. In tutte queste discussioni, non si percepisce un’opposizione tra oriente e occidente. Invece, lo scontro tra Giulio di Roma e i vescovi radunati ad Antiochia (341) e, soprattutto, i sinodi di Serdica e Filippopoli (343) vengono descritti come un conflitto tra «gli orientali» e «gli occidentali». Questo percorso, dunque, mostra che prima del 341 il concilio di Nicea non era stato visto come un fattore di conflitto tra oriente e occidente.

In parallelo, i canoni niceni, reinterpretati a Serdica (343), diventano, almeno nelle intenzioni della chiesa di Roma, uno strumento per ottenere una unanimità costruita intorno al suo primato.

description: The purpose of the thesis was to investigate the impact of ecotourism on population dynamics of wild animals, namely the one of Griffon Vulture and the Black Vulture, which are two of the endangered bird species in Greece. The survey area includes the forest complex of Dadia -Lefkimi- Soufli (D-L-S) in the prefecture of Evros. The questions raised were examined, through statistical analysis of recorded data that were collected on a daily basis on both the presence of visitors and the presence of bird in the artificial feeding site, in purpose to identify factors that contribute to the disturbance of predators and the change of their behavior, the role of artificial feeding site in the conservation of species and their biology. Reaching to some conclusions and citing other relevant research, proposals were made for ecotourism, assuming that it will help minimize the negative effects on population dynamics of endangered species over time.

description: We present results from our two year study of ground-layer turbulence as seen through the 6.5-meter Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory. The experiment consists of multiple, moderate resolution, Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors deployed over a large 16 arcminute field. Over the two years of the experiment, the ground-layer turbulence has been sampled on eleven nights in a variety of seeing and wind conditions. On most nights the ground-layer turbulence contributes 10% to the total visible-band seeing, although a few nights exhibit ground-layer contributions up to 30%. We present the ground-layer turbulence on the sampled nights as well as a demonstration of its strength as a function of field size. This information is combined with data from a MASS-DIMM seeing monitor adjacent to the Magellan Telescopes to infer the annual ground-layer contribution to seeing at Las Campanas.

description: A valley-contrasting Berry curvature in bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides with spin-orbit coupling can generate valley magnetization when the inversion symmetry is broken, for example, by an electric field, regardless of time-reversal symmetry. A nontrivial Berry curvature can also lead to anomalous transport responses, such as the anomalous Hall effect and the anomalous Nernst effect. Applied to a bilayer WSe$_2$, an electric field can tune the Berry curvature and orbital magnetic moment, which has important consequences for the orbital magnetization and the anomalous Nernst responses. The orbital magnetization and its two contributions, one due to the magnetic moment and one due to the Berry curvature, are calculated and interpreted in terms of opposite circulating currents of the bands in the two layers. The valley anomalous Nernst coefficient and spin Nernst coefficient are also calculated. We find that a finite electric field leads to peaks and dips in the Nernst responses that have the signs of the Berry curvatures of the bands and are proportional to their magnitudes; it also enhances the valley Nernst responses. These experimentally verifiable findings may be promising for caloritronic applications.

description: We present experimental results that demonstrate a glassy behavior in the conductance of quench condensed insulating granular metals that is different from that observed in continuous disordered systems. Exciting the granular system by biasing the sample with a high electric field results in a slow conductance change both during the excitation and during the relaxation back to its steady state. The time scales for these processes are many orders of magnitudes longer than the typical hopping time. We find that, initially, this conductance change has an opposite sign to that observed in similar experiments performed on continuous films. Only after relatively long times this trend is reversed and the samples exhibit conventional behavior. We suggest that the granular systems exhibit a new glassy process related to charge redistribution among the grains. This process combines with the relaxation processes that are characteristic of disordered systems to give rise to a unique relaxation profile.

Genesi e trasformazione del dibattito teologico nel concilio di Nicea
Creators: name: Pietras, Henryk
Publisher: name: Apulia Theologica
Year: 2025

description: L’articolo parte dalla questione degli obiettivi della convocazione del concilio da parte di Costantino, delle sue intenzioni e dei risultati ottenuti. L’imperatore desiderava sottolineare solennemente il suo potere nel ventesimo anniversario della sua proclamazione a imperatore ed eliminare tutte le divergenze nella chiesa, in modo che l’unità della chiesa sostenesse l’unità dello stato. Non si preoccupava tanto dell’unità delle credenze teologiche, quanto dell’unità del culto e della fissazione di un unico giorno per celebrare la Pasqua, che fosse espressione di questa unità. Per questo motivo fece pressione per la creazione di un unico credo e per stabilire le condizioni per l’ammissione di scismatici ed eretici nella chiesa. Riuscì a ottenere questo risultato, anche se i dibattiti in merito furono pieni di tensioni.

Problemi di gusto. Hume e Dorfles
Creators: name: Mecacci, Andrea
Publisher: name: Materiali di Estetica. Terza serie
Year: 2019

description: The essay aims to highlight the links between Dorfles’ Le oscillazioni del gusto (The Oscillations of Taste) (1958 and 1970) and David Hume’s classic essay Of the Standard of Taste (1757). Taste becomes the core of aesthetic experience, making the relationship between subjectivity and shared values problematic, but necessary. Like Hume, Dorfles also conceives taste, despite its variety and variability, as a process of cultural exercising that finds its operative grammar in the balance between facility and novelty and in the dimension of delicacy.

description: Υπάρχουν αντιφατικά δεδομένα στη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία, που αφορούν τη σχέση ανάμεσα στο κάπνισμα και τη Φυσική δραστηριότητα (ΦΔ). Ο σκοπός αυτής της έρευνας ήταν να εκτιμηθεί ο βαθμός στον οποίο η ΦΔ σχετίζεται με το κάπνισμα, συνεκτιμώντας και άλλες παραμέτρους που καθορίζουν τη ΦΔ. Να προσδιορισθούν οι διαστάσεις της Σχετιζόμενης με την υγεία ποιότητας ζωής (HRQoL) που σχετίζονται περισσότερο με τη ΦΔ σε μεσήλικες καπνιστές και μη καπνιστές. Μέθοδος: Η ΦΔ μετρήθηκε με το επιταχυνσιόμετρο RT3 και το ερωτηματολόγιο Baecke. Η HRQoL μετρήθηκε με το ερωτηματολόγιο MOS SF-36. Αποτελέσματα: Σημαντικά μεγαλύτερες τιμές σε όλες τις παραμέτρους της ΦΔ και της HRQoL καταγράφηκαν στους μη καπνιστές. Οι καπνιστές παρουσίασαν σημαντικότερη συσχέτιση ανάμεσα στη ΦΔ και στις διαστάσεις της σωματικής υγείας (PH), ενώ οι μη καπνιστές έδειξαν μεγαλύτερη συσχέτιση ανάμεσα στη ΦΔ ελεύθερου χρόνου με τις διαστάσεις ψυχικής υγείας (GMH). Η ανάλυση παλινδρόμησης έδειξε ότι μεταξύ των παραγόντων που επηρεάζουν τη ΦΔ, όπως η αθλητική εμπειρία, ο δείκτης μάζας σώματος (ΒΜΙ), και οι αϋπνίες, το κάπνισμα παρουσίασε τη μεγαλύτερη αρνητική σχέση με τη ΦΔ. Συμπεράσματα: Η ΦΔ ελεύθερου χρόνου των μη καπνιστών εξαρτάται σε μεγάλο βαθμό από τη ψυχική τους υγεία και αντίστροφα. Οι καπνιστές είναι δυνατό να βελτιώσουν τη σωματική τους λειτουργία (Physical functioning, PF) με την αύξηση της ΦΔ.
description: Background: There are contradictory results regarding the relationship between smoking and physical activity. Objectives: To evaluate the extent to which Physical activity (PA) is related with smoking, after co-estimating other determinants of PA. To estimate the dimensions of Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), more associated with PA in middle-aged smokers and non smokers. Methods: PA was measured with the accelerometer RT3 and the Baecke questionnaire. HRQoL was measured with the questionnaire MOS SF-36. Results: Significantly higher rates in all PA and HRQoL variables, were recorded in the non smoking group. Smokers showed a more significant relationship of PA with physical health dimensions (PH), whereas non smoker’s leisure time PA (LTPA) was associated with general mental health (GMH). The multivariate regression analysis indicated that, among other determinants of PA, such as sport experience, insomnia and BMI, smoking had the strongest association with PA. Conclusions: Non smoker’s LTPA was more dependable on GMH, and vise versa. Smokers could improve their physical functioning (PF) with an increase in PA.

description: With one out of every two marriages statistically doomed to fail, we must ask ourselves: how does this affect children? This thesis examines the relationship between divorce rates in the 135 cities and counties in Virginia and rates of juvenile violent crime and drug abuse. Social disorganization, used as a main source of reference in this study, is helpful in understanding how divorce affects juveniles at the community level. Family disruption, due to parental divorce, supports the notion that there is less juvenile supervision in the home and in effect the community, which leads to juvenile delinquency.

The three different datasets were used to analyze statistics on rates of juvenile violent crime, drug abuse, and divorce are the Easy Access to FBI Arrest Statistics, Social Indicators Project (Governor's Office for Substance Abuse Prevention 2005), and the 2000 Census. Regression models indicated that divorce was positively and significantly related to rates of juvenile violent crime and drug abuse at the bivariate level. Early detection of risk factors associated with juvenile delinquency could help initiate prevention programs. Recreational and after-school programs could provide juveniles with supervised activities and role models that inhibit the introduction of delinquent behaviors.
Inclination-Dependent Luminosity Function of Spiral Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Implication for Dust Extinction

description: Using a samples of 61506 spiral galaxies selected from the SDSS DR2, we examine the luminosity function (LF) of spiral galaxies with different inclination angles. We find that the characteristic luminosity of the LF, $L^*$, decreases with increasing inclination, while the faint-end slope, $α$, depends only weakly on it. The inclination-dependence of the LF is consistent with that expected from a simple model where the optical depth is proportional to the cosine of the inclination angle, and we use a likelihood method to recover both the coefficient in front of the cosine, $γ$, and the LF for galaxies viewed face-on. The value of $γ$ is quite independent of galaxy luminosity in a given band, and the values of $γ$ obtained in this way for the 5 SDSS bands give an extinction curve which is a power law of wavelength ($τ\proptoλ^{-n}$), with a power index $n=0.96\pm0.04$. Using the dust extinction for galaxies obtained by Kauffmann et al. (2003), we derive an `extinction-corrected' luminosity function for spiral galaxies. Dust extinction makes $M^*$ dimmer by about 0.5 magnitudes in the $z$-band, and about 1.2 magnitudes in the $u$- band. Since our analysis is based on a sample where selection effects are well under control, the dimming of edge-on galaxies relative to face-on galaxies is best explained by assuming that galaxy disks are optically thick in dust absorptions.

First-principles quantum simulations of dissociation of molecular condensates: Atom correlations in momentum space

description: We investigate the quantum many-body dynamics of dissociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate of molecular dimers into pairs of constituent bosonic atoms and analyze the resulting atom-atom correlations. The quantum fields of both the molecules and atoms are simulated from first principles in three dimensions using the positive-P representation method. This allows us to provide an exact treatment of the molecular field depletion and s-wave scattering interactions between the particles, as well as to extend the analysis to nonuniform systems. In the simplest uniform case, we find that the major source of atom-atom decorrelation is atom-atom recombination which produces molecules outside the initially occupied condensate mode. The unwanted molecules are formed from dissociated atom pairs with non-opposite momenta. The net effect of this process -- which becomes increasingly significant for dissociation durations corresponding to more than about 40% conversion -- is to reduce the atom-atom correlations. In addition, for nonuniform systems we find that mode-mixing due to inhomogeneity can result in further degradation of the correlation signal. We characterize the correlation strength via the degree of squeezing of particle number-difference fluctuations in a certain momentum-space volume and show that the correlation strength can be increased if the signals are binned into larger counting volumes.

Mechanics and dynamics of ballend milling
Creators: name: Lee, Peter Pak Wing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ball end milling has been used extensively in current manufacturing industry in producing parts with sculptured surfaces. Due to its complex cutter geometry, ball end milling mechanics and dynamics have not been studied until recently. In this research, the mechanics and dynamics of cutting with a special helical ball end cutter are modeled. A unified mathematical model, which considers the true rigid body kinematics of milling, static deformations and forced and self excited vibrations, is presented. The ball end mill attached to the spindle is modeled by two orthogonal structural modes in the feed and normal directions at the tool tip. For a given cutter geometry, the process dependent cutting coefficients are obtained by applying oblique tool geometry to the fundamental properties such as shear yield stress, shear angle and average friction angle measured from orthogonal cutting tests. The three dimensional surface finish generated by the helical flutes is digitized using the true kinematics of ball end milling process. The dynamically regenerated chip thickness, which consists of rigid body motion of the cutter and structural vibrations, is evaluated at discrete time intervals by comparing the present and previous tooth marks left on the finish surface. The process is simulated in time domain, by considering the instantaneous regenerative chip load, local cutting force coefficients, structural transfer functions and the geometry of ball end milling process. The proposed model predicts cutting forces, finished surface and chatter-free condition charts, and is verified experimentally under both static and dynamic cutting conditions. The model allows process planners to select cutting conditions to minimize dimensional surface errors, shank failure and chatter vibrations for end milling operations.
Pair creation by a photon in a strong magnetic field

description: The process of pair creation by a photon in a strong magnetic field is investigated basing on the polarization operator in the field. The total probability of the process is found in a relatively simple form. The probability exhibits a "saw-tooth" pattern because of divergences arising when the electron and positron are created at threshold of the Landau energy levels. The pattern will be washed out at averaging over any smooth photon energy distribution. The new results are obtained in the scope of the quasiclassical approach: 1) in the case when the magnetic field $B \ll B_0, (B_0$ is the critical field) the new formulation extends the photon energy interval to the case when the created particles are not ultrarelativistic; 2) the correction to the standard quasiclassical approximation is found showing the range of applicability of the approach at high photon energy as well. The very important conclusion is that for both cases $B \ll B_0$ and $B \geq B_0$ the results of the quasiclassical calculation are very close to averaged probabilities of exact theory in a very wide range of photon energies. The quasiclassical approximation is valid also for the energy distribution if the electron and positron are created on enough high levels.
