description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία επιχειρεί να αναδείξει τους κινδύνους που εγκυμονεί για την προστασία των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων η εξέλιξη της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης. Ειδικότερα, εστιάζει στην προστασία του δικαιώματος της Ελευθερίας της Έκφρασης, μέσα από την περιγραφή του υπερεθνικού νομοθετικού πλαισίου και την επισκόπηση αποφάσεων του Ευρωπαϊκού Δικαστηρίου Δικαιωμάτων του Ανθρώπου. Στη συνέχεια, εξετάζει τους απαραίτητους τεχνολογικούς ορισμούς, καθώς και τα νομικά κενά που ανακύπτουν από την καλπάζουσα τεχνολογική εξέλιξη στο πεδίο της Τεχνητής νοημοσύνης, τέλος δε καταλήγει στην παράθεση κι ερμηνευτική εξέταση των μέτρων, που λαμβάνονται προς την κατεύθυνση της διαμόρφωσης ενός κανονιστικού - προστατευτικού πλαισίου. Το θεσμικό επίπεδο λήψης των μέτρων αυτών, καθώς και η νομική τους φύση, απασχολούν το τελευταίο μέρος της ανάλυσης.
description: The present thesis attempts to highlight the risks that the development of AI poses for the protection of human rights. In particular, it focuses on the protection of the right to Freedom of Expression, through a description of the supranational legal framework and an overview of decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. It examines the necessary technological definitions and considers the legal vacua arising by the rapid technological development in the field of AI, and finally concludes with a list and an interpretative examination of the measures taken towards the development of a regulatory-protective framework. The institutional level of these measures, as well as their legal nature, is the subject of the final part of the analysis.

description: We compute the perturbative corrections to the HQET sum rules for the matrix element of the ΔB=2 operator that determines the mass shift of $B^0$, $\bar{B}^0$ states. Technically, we obtain analytically the non-factorizable contributions at order $α_s$ to the bag parameter that first appear at the three-loop level. Together with the known non-perturbative corrections due to vacuum condensates and $1/m_b$ corrections, the full next-to-leading order result is now available. We present a numerical value for the renormalization group invariant bag parameter that is phenomenologically relevant and discuss comparison with recent lattice determinations.

Quartic Chameleons: Safely Scale-Free in the Early Universe

description: In chameleon gravity, there exists a light scalar field that couples to the trace of the stress-energy tensor in such a way that its mass depends on the ambient matter density, and the field is screened in local, high-density environments. Recently it was shown that, for the runaway potentials commonly considered in chameleon theories, the field's coupling to matter and the hierarchy of scales between Standard Model particles and the energy scale of such potentials result in catastrophic effects in the early Universe when these particles become nonrelativistic. Perturbations with trans-Planckian energies are excited, and the theory suffers a breakdown in calculability at the relatively low temperatures of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. We consider a chameleon field in a quartic potential and show that the scale-free nature of this potential allows the chameleon to avoid many of the problems encountered by runaway potentials. Following inflation, the chameleon field oscillates around the minimum of its effective potential, and rapid changes in its effective mass excite perturbations via quantum particle production. The quartic model, however, only generates high-energy perturbations at comparably high temperatures and is able remain a well-behaved effective field theory at nucleosynthesis.

Low-Cost Energy Meter Calibration Method for Measurement and Verification

description: Energy meters need to be calibrated for use in Measurement and Verification (M&V) projects. However, calibration can be prohibitively expensive and affect project feasibility negatively. This study presents a novel low-cost in-situ meter data calibration technique using a relatively low accuracy commercial energy meter as a calibrator. Calibration is achieved by combining two machine learning tools: the SIMulation EXtrapolation (SIMEX) Measurement Error Model, and Bayesian regression. The model is trained or calibrated on half-hourly building energy data for 24 hours. Measurements are then compared to the true values over the following months to verify the method. Results show that the hybrid method significantly improves parameter estimates and goodness of fit when compared to Ordinary Least Squares regression or standard SIMEX. This study also addresses the effect of mismeasurement in energy monitoring, and implements a powerful technique for mitigating the bias that arises because of it. Meters calibrated by the technique presented have satisfactory accuracy for most M&V applications, at a significantly lower cost.

description: Cet article examine le surgissement des trobairitz, femmes-troubadours au Moyen Âge. Elles ont été les poétesses musiciennes créant de la poésie et composant leur musique, en les chantant dans la société catholique de l’époque. Leurs poèmes sont en langue d’oc, de l’Occitanie de sud de la France. Leur nombre est peu par rapport aux troubadours, n’empêche que leur poésie est la première écriture féminine en Europe. Elle témoigne de leur pensée sociale et personnelle, c’est un miroir des manifestations culturelles féminines dans la société médiévale. Leur rôle dans l’étude de la littérature de l’époque et surtout dans la lyrique troubadouresque est incontestable. Les trobairitz sont aussi considérées comme les premières compositrices de la musique profane en Europe.

description: This thesis looks at the relationship between weight stigma and appearance-related concerns with the tendency to avoid physical activity and sport. It developed a new scale to measure weight stigma and appearance-related concerns in the tendency to avoid physical activity and sport. The findings of this thesis clearly show that psychosocial factors, such as internalised weight stigma are contributing to the tendency to avoid physical activity and sport and therefore people are missing out on the physical and psychological benefits of being physically active.

description: A stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) will affect the CMB anisotropies via weak lensing. Unlike weak lensing due to large scale structure which only deflects photon trajectories, a SGWB has an additional effect of rotating the polarization vector along the trajectory. We study the relative importance of these two effects, deflection \& rotation, specifically in the context of E-mode to B-mode power transfer caused by weak lensing due to SGWB. Using weak lensing distortion of the CMB as a probe, we derive constraints on the spectral energy density ($Ω_{GW}$) of the SGWB, sourced at different redshifts, without assuming any particular model for its origin. We present these bounds on $Ω_{GW}$ for different power-law models characterizing the SGWB, indicating the threshold above which observable imprints of SGWB must be present in CMB.

description: We study the production of $ΛΛ$ and $\overline{Λ\text{n}}$ exotic states in central Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV at LHC via both hadron and quark coalescence within a covariant coalescence model with a blast-wave-like parametrization for the phase-space configurations of constituent particles at freezeout. In the hadron coalescence, the two states are considered as molecular states while they are considered as six-quark states in the quark coalescence.For $\overline{Λ\text{n}}$, we find that the yields of both molecular and six-quark states are much larger than the experimental upper-limits. For $ΛΛ$, while the molecule-state yield is much larger than the experimental upper-limits, the six-quark-state yield could be lower than the upper-limits. The higher molecule-state yields are mainly due to the large contribution of short-lived strong resonance decays into (anti-)nucleons and (anti-)$Λ$ which can significantly enhance the molecule-state yields of $ΛΛ$ and $\overline{Λ\text{n}}$ via hadron coalescence. Our results suggest that the current experimental measurement at LHC cannot exclude the existence of the $ΛΛ$ as an exotic six-quark state, and if $ΛΛ$ is a six-quark state, it is then on the brink of being discovered.

description: Context] Problems in Requirements Engineering (RE) can lead to serious consequences during the software development lifecycle. [Goal] The goal of this paper is to propose empirically-based guidelines that can be used by different types of organisations according to their size (small, medium or large) and process model (agile or plan-driven) to help them in preventing such problems. [Method] We analysed data from a survey on RE problems answered by 228 organisations in 10 different countries. [Results] We identified the most critical RE problems, their causes and mitigation actions, organizing this information by clusters of size and process model. Finally, we analysed the causes and mitigation actions of the critical problems of each cluster to get further insights into how to prevent them. [Conclusions] Based on our results, we suggest preliminary guidelines for preventing critical RE problems in response to context characteristics of the companies.

Η μελέτη της αλληλεπίδρασης αυτής είναι πολύ σημαντική για τους υπεύθυνους χάραξης πολιτικής, καθώς μπορεί να συμβάλει αποτελεσματικά στην προώθηση μίας βιώσιμης οικονομικής μεγέθυνσης. Μελετάται τόσο η μακροχρόνια, όσο και η βραχυχρόνια αιτιώδης σχέση, πραγματοποιώντας ελέγχους συνολοκλήρωσης (Westerland) και ελέγχους Granger causality (DH έλεγχοι). Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα υπάρχει σχέση συνολοκλήρωσης μεταξύ των εκπομπών του διοξειδίου του άνθρακα (CO2), κατανάλωση ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας (EPC) και οικονομικής μεγέθυνσης στις χώρες της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης (Ε.Ε.). Επίσης υπάρχει μία μονόδρομη βραχυχρόνια σχέση αιτιότητας από την οικονομική μεγέθυνση στην κατανάλωση ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας, το αντίθετο δηλαδή από τη μακροχρόνια σχέση. Επιπλέον, βρέθηκε μακροχρόνια σχέση μεταξύ των εκπομπών διοξειδίου του άνθρακα (CO2), των αριθμό κατοχυρωμένων ευρεσιτεχνιών (Patents) σχετικά με την κατανάλωση της ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας ενέργεια (EPC) και με την οικονομική μεγέθυνση. Τα αποτελέσματα είναι συμβατά με τα ευρήματα της ενδογενούς θεωρίας της οικονομικής μεγέθυνσης θεωρίας.
description: The present study investigates the interaction of energy expressed with a) electricity consumption, b) carbon dioxide, c) technological innovation (patent number) with economic growth to clarify more clearly the causal relationship between variables 27 OECD countries during the period 1990-2018. Studying this interaction is very important for policymakers, as it can effectively contribute to promoting sustainable economic growth. Both the long-term and the short-term causal relationship are studied by performing integration tests (Westerland) and Granger causality tests (DH tests). According to the results, there is an integration relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, electricity consumption (EPC) and economic growth in the countries of the European Union (EU). As well as there is a one-way short-term causality relationship from economic growth to electricity consumption, the opposite of the long-term relationship. In addition, a long-term relationship was found between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the number of patents on electricity consumption (EPC) and economic growth. The results are consistent with the findings of the endogenous theory of economic growth theory.

description: The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in ultrathin ferromagnets can result in nonreciprocal propagation of spin waves. We examine theoretically how spin wave power flow is influenced by this interaction. We show that the combination of the dipole-dipole and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions can result in unidirectional caustic beams in the Damon-Eshbach geometry. Morever, self-generated interface patterns can also be induced from a point-source excitation.

description: In order to study the potential in high precision CCD astrometry of irregular satellites, we have made experimental observations for Himalia, the sixth and irregular satellite of Jupiter. A total of 185 CCD observations were obtained by using the 2.4 m telescope and 1 m telescope at Yunnan Observatories over ten nights. Preliminary analysis for the observations were made, including the geometric distortion, the atmospheric refraction, and also the phase effect. All positions of Himalia are measured relative to the reference stars from the catalogue UCAC4 in each CCD field of view. The theoretical positions of Himalia were retrieved from the IMCCE, while the positions of Jupiter were obtained based on the planetary theory INPOP13C. The results show that the mean (O-C) (observed minus computed) residuals are -0.004 and -0.002 arcsec in right ascension and declination, respectively. The standard deviation of (O-C) residuals are estimated at about 0.04 arcsec in each direction.

description: We consider, in the context of a braneworld cosmology, the motion of the universe coupled to a four-form gauge field, with constant field strength, defined in higher dimensions. It is found, under rather general initial conditions, that in this situation there is a period of exponential inflation combined with cyclotron motion in the inflaton field space. The main effect of the cyclotron motion is that conditions on the flatness of the inflaton potential, which are typically necessary for exponential inflation, can be evaded. There are Landau levels associated with the four-form gauge field, and these correspond to quantum excitations of the inflaton field.

Αρχικά αναπτύσσονται οι έννοιες της ανάπτυξης, της βιωσιμότητας, καθώς και η κεντρική για την εργασία έννοια της βιώσιμης Γαλάζιας Οικονομίας. Στη συνέχεια, αναλύεται το υφιστάμενο ρυθμιστικό πλαίσιο χρηματοδότησης της μετάβασης σε μια βιώσιμη Γαλάζια Οικονομία, όπως αυτό έχει διαμορφωθεί από την Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και τον Οργανισμό Ηνωμένων Εθνών. Τέλος, με την παρούσα εργασία έγινε προσπάθεια οριοθέτησης των πηγών και των μέσων χρηματοδότησης της βιώσιμης Γαλάζιας Οικονομίας, οι οποίοι έχουν ήδη αξιοποιηθεί για την προώθησή της και την προσέγγιση επενδύσεων σε αυτό τον εξαιρετικά υποχρηματοδοτούμενο τομέα. Πρόκειται κατά βάση για δύο κύρια είδη χρηματοδότησης. Το πρώτο αφορά την κρατική υποστήριξη για ολοκληρωτική αναμόρφωση της οικονομίας και μετάβαση σε οικονομικές δραστηριότητες οι οποίες θα ικανοποιούν τις προϋποθέσεις ανάπτυξης μιας βιώσιμης Γαλάζιας Οικονομίας, ενώ το δεύτερο αφορά τα νέα, εξειδικευμένα και καινοτόμα χρηματοδοτικά εργαλεία και πηγές χρηματοδότησης, όπως τα γαλάζια ομόλογα, τα οποία αναπτύσσονται με σκοπό να προσφέρουν επενδυτικές ευκαιρίες σε όλους τους οικονομικούς δρώντες και να συγκεράσουν την ανάγκη προστασίας και διατήρησης της θαλάσσιας ζωής, με την οικονομική ανάπτυξη και το κέρδος.
description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the existing legal framework of Blue Economy financing, from a European and international law point of view. Firstly, we present the definitions of the terms of development, sustainability, as well as the work-central concept of a sustainable Blue Economy. Afterwards, we analyze the existing regulatory framework for financing the transition to a sustainable Blue Economy, as formulated by the European Union and the United Nations. Finally, with this paper, an attempt was made to delineate the sources and means of financing the sustainable Blue Economy, which have already been used for its promotion and the approach of investments in this extremely underfunded sector. There are basically two main types of financing. The first concerns state support for a complete reform of the economy and transition to economic activities that will satisfy the conditions for the development of a sustainable Blue Economy, while the second concerns new, specialized and innovative financial tools and sources of financing, such as blue bonds, which are developed in order to offer investment opportunities to all economic actors and to reconcile the need to protect and preserve marine life with economic development and profit.

description: We introduce a class of inequalities based on low order correlations of operators to detect entanglement in bipartite systems. The operators may either be Hermitian or non-Hermitian and are applicable to any physical system or class of states. Testing the criteria on example systems reveals that they outperform other common correlation based criteria, such as those by Duan-Giedke-Cirac-Zoller and Hillery-Zubairy. One unusual feature of the criteria is that it includes a term involving the average of the density matrix squared, related to the purity of the system. We discuss how such a term could be measured in relation to the criteria.

description: Energy efficiency is crucial for sustainability and competitiveness in the manufacturing sector. This brief highlights methodologies and best practices from EU projects E2COMATION and DENiM aimed at optimising energy use across manufacturing processes. By employing techniques such as digitalisation, lifecycle assessment, and energy monitoring, these projects achieved notable reductions in energy consumption, ranging from 10% to 40% across pilot cases. The focus is on implementing advanced energy data measurement, digital twin technologies for process simulation, and efficient transportation to minimise CO2 emissions. The ultimate goal is to support manufacturers in adopting  sustainable, energy-efficient practices that yield both environmental and economic benefits.

description: We study the dissipative dynamics of an atom in a V-level configuration driven by lasers and coupled to a semi-infinite waveguide. The coupling to the waveguide is chiral, in that each transition interacts only with the modes propagating in a given direction, and this direction is opposite for the two transitions. The waveguide is terminated by a mirror which coherently feeds the photon stream emitted by one transition back to the atom. First, we are interested in the dynamics of the atom in the Markovian limit where the time-delay in the feedback is negligible. Specifically, we study the conditions under which the atom evolves towards a pure "dark" stationary state, where the photons emitted by both transitions interfere destructively thanks to the coherent feedback, and the overall emission vanishes. This is a single-atom analog of the quantum dimer, where a pair of laser-driven two-level atoms is coupled to a unidirectional waveguide and dissipates towards a pure entangled dark state. Our setup should be feasible with current state-of-the-art experiments. Second, we extend our study to non-Markovian regimes and investigate the effect of the feedback retardation on the steady-state.

description: Underrepresentation of marginalized persons in datasets leads to biases in models, which in turn cause decisions made about marginalized people to be biased. On the other hand, marginalized persons experience disproportionate harms from privacy violations and so need protection from data collection which creates ' a data gap paradox'. In this poster, we discuss this paradox and we provide a draft of a solution using privacy enhancing technologies.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματεύεται την έννοια του θρησκευτικού και πολυμορφικού τουρισμού και τη συμβολή τους, τόσο στον άνθρωπο, όσο και στο φυσικό περιβάλλον. Αρχικά, αναλύεται η έννοια του τουρισμού και γίνεται μία ιστορική αναδρομή της εξέλιξής του. Ακολούθως, εξετάζεται εκτενώς η έννοια του θρησκευτικού τουρισμού και η διάκρισή του από άλλες μορφές τουρισμού. Ακόμη, η εργασία επικεντρώνεται ερευνητικά στο νομό της Πιερίας, μίας περιοχής έντονου ενδιαφέροντος για τον θρησκευτικό τουρισμό. Αφού καταγραφούν όλοι οι ιστορικοί, και συνάμα θρησκευτικοί, προορισμοί τουριστικού ενδιαφέροντος, στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο αναπτύσσεται η έννοια του πολυμορφικού τουρισμού. Μετά την ανάλυσή του, δίνεται μία προτεινόμενη διαδρομή πολυμορφικού τουρισμού για το νομό Πιερίας. Τέλος, παρουσιάζεται ο στρατηγικός σχεδιασμός βιώσιμης τουριστικής ανάπτυξης, κατά τον οποίο συνυπολογίζονται ποικίλες παράμετροι, ώστε ο τουρισμός που θα αναπτυχθεί να είναι βιώσιμος, τόσο από τις τοπικές κοινωνίες που γίνονται θέσεις τουριστικού ενδιαφέροντος, όσο και από το περιβάλλον.
description: The present master thesis dissertation deals with the concept of religious and multifaceted tourism and their contribution to both humans and the natural environment. First, the concept of tourism is analyzed and a historical review of its development is made. Next, the concept of religious tourism and its distinction from other forms of tourism are examined in detail. Also, the work focuses on research in the prefecture of Pieria, an area of intense interest for religious tourism. After historical, and at the same time religious, destinations of tourist interest have been recorded, in the third chapter the concept of polymorphic tourism is developed. Thereafter its analysis, a suggested route of polymorphic tourism for the prefecture of Pieria is given. Finally, the strategic planning of sustainable tourism development is presented, which takes into account various parameters, so that the tourism that will be developed is sustainable, both by the local communities that become places of tourist interest, and by the environment.
Reduction of friction by normal oscillations. I. Influence of contact stiffness

description: The present paper is devoted to a theoretical analysis of sliding friction under the influence of oscillations perpendicular to the sliding plane. In contrast to previous works we analyze the influence of the stiffness of the tribological contact in detail and also consider the case of large oscillation amplitudes at which the contact is lost during a part of the oscillation period, so that the sample starts to "jump". It is shown that the macroscopic coefficient of friction is a function of only two dimensionless parameters - a dimensionless sliding velocity and dimensionless oscillation amplitude. This function in turn depends on the shape of the contacting bodies. In the present paper, analysis is carried out for two shapes: a flat cylindrical punch and a parabolic shape. Here we consider "stiff systems", where the contact stiffness is small compared with the stiffness of the system. The role of the system stiffness will be studied in more detail in a separate paper.
Synthese chiraler Liganden mit [3.3.0]- und [3.3.1]-bicyclischem Grundgerüst und ihre Anwendung in der enantioselektiven Übergangsmetall-Katayse

description: Die asymmetrische Synthese mit chiralen Übergangsmetallkomplexen gewinnt in der großtechnischen Produktion enantiomerenreiner Wirkstoffe zunehmend an Bedeutung. Daher besteht nach wie vor besonderes Interesse an der Entwicklung neuer Ligandensystemen für derartige Reaktionstypen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden am Beispiel chiraler Aminoalkohole zwei unterschiedliche Syntheserouten zu einem neuen Ligandentyp mit einem Struktur-prägenden [3.3.1]-bicyclischen Grundgerüst, dem Bispidin, entwickelt. Die lineare Synthese ermöglicht die Einführung unterschiedlicher Substitutionsmuster, während sich die konvergente Synthese durch ihre hohe Effizienz auszeichnete. Hierbei ließen sich auch das Methylbispidin, Oxobispidin und ein dem Bispidin ähnliches [3.3.0]-bicyclisches Diamin erfolgreich einsetzen. Mit den chiralen Aminoalkoholen als Liganden bei der Nickel-katalysierten konjugierten Addition von Diethylzink an Chalcon ließen sich Enantioselektivitäten von bis zu 85% ee erzielen. Am Beispiel chiraler Oxazolin-Liganden mit [3.3.1]-bicyclischem Grundgerüst konnte die Vielseitigkeit der konvergenten Synthesestrategie demonstriert werden, die sich, wie die Synthese chiraler Phosphoramidit-Liganden zeigte, auch auf labile Funktionalitäten anwenden ließ. Im Fall der chiralen Phosphoramidite wurde deutlich, daß die Natur des bicyclischen Grundgerüstes ebenfalls die Selektivität bei asymmetrischen Reaktionen beeinflußt. Phosphoramidite mit einem [3.3.1]-bicyclischen Grundgerüst ermöglichten bei der Kupfer-katalysierten konjugierten Addition von Dialkylzinkreagenzien an Chalcon Enantioselektivitäten von bis zu 81% ee, während in Gegenwart von Phosphoramidit-Liganden, die das [3.3.0]-bicyclische Grundgerüst besaßen, die Rhodium-katalysierte Hydrierung von Itaconsäuredimethylester mit Selektivitäten von bis zu 90% ee verlief.

description: In the blooming field of exoplanetary science, NASA's Kepler Space Telescope has revolutionized our understanding of exoplanets. Kepler's very precise and long-duration photometry is ideal for detecting planetary transits around Sun-like stars. The forthcoming Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is expected to continue Kepler's legacy. Along with transits, the Doppler technique remains an invaluable tool for discovering planets. The next generation of spectrographs, such as G-CLEF, promises precision radial velocity measurements. In this paper, we explore the possibility of detecting planets around hypervelocity and runaway stars, which should host a very compact system as consequence of their turbulent origin. We find that the probability of a multi-planetary transit is $10^{-3}\lesssim P\lesssim 10^{-1}$. We therefore need to observe $\sim 10-1000$ high-velocity stars to spot a transit. However, even if transits are rare around runaway and hypervelocity stars, the chances of detecting such planets using radial velocity surveys is high. We predict that the European Gaia satellite, along with TESS and the new-generation spectrographs G-CLEF and ESPRESSO, will spot planetary systems orbiting high-velocity stars.

description: Zur Erhöhung der Brillianz bei hohen Photonenergien wurden an der ESRF während der letzten Jahre Insertion Devices mit kürzeren Perioden genutzt. Im Zuge dessen wurden Vakuumkammern mit kleinerem vertikalen Kammerquerschnitt in die geraden Strecken eingebaut. Die Verminderung des Kammerquerschnittes führte zu erheblichen Elektronenverlusten auf der Kammerwand mit Strahlungsproblemen an der jeweiligen Beamline und auf dem Tunneldach. Nach dem Einbau von Strahlverlustmonitoren wurden die Ursachen der Elektronenverluste untersucht. Daraufhin wurden mehrere Änderungen an dem Speicherringbetrieb vorgenommen, um die Anzahl der Elektronenverluste zu verringern. Zusätzlich wurde die Nutzung von Scrapern zum Auffangen der Elektronen untersucht und optimiert. Aufgrund der gesammelten Erfahrung wurde eine Verbesserung an den Strahlverlustmonitoren durchgeführt. Die in der Dissertation vorgestellten Ergebnisse belegen, daß mit Hilfe der an der ESRF eingeleiteten Maßnahmen zur Verminderung der Elektronenverluste die Strahlungswerte selbst für die Kammern mit dem kleinsten Querschnitt auf ein akzeptables Niveau gesenkt werden konnten.
description: To increase at the ESRF the brilliance at high photon energies, Insertion Devices with shorter periods were installed during the last years. Accordingly smaller vertical gap vacuum chambers were installed in the straight sections. The vacuum chamber gap reduction resulted in significant electron losses on the chamber walls - therefore creating radiation problems for the corresponding beam lines and on the roof of the tunnel. After the installation of a beam loss detection system a study of the beam loss origins was carried out. Following this several modifications were applied to the machine operation to reduce the overall losses in the storage ring. Additionally the use of scrapers to intercept the electrons was investigated and optimised. Based on the experience gained an upgrade of the beam loss detection system was done. The results presented in this thesis demonstrate how the ESRF radiation levels were reduced to an acceptable level, even for the smallest gap chambers.

The novel tells the story of Henry Esmond's twin grandsons, Virginia-born George and Henry Warrington. Henry's romantic entanglement with an older woman leads to his volunteering in the British army and fighting under the command of General Wolfe at the 1759 capture of Quebec. On the outbreak of the American War of Independence he takes the revolutionary side. George, who also becomes a British officer, eventually resigns his commission rather than continuing in arms against his brother.
