description: A set $I$ is said to be a universal indifferent set for $1$-genericity if for every $1$-generic $G$ and for all $X \subseteq I$, $G ΔX$ is also $1$-generic. Miller showed that there is no infinite universal indifferent set for $1$-genericity. We introduce two variants (union and subsequence sets for $1$-genericity) of the notion of universal indifference and prove that there are no non-trivial universal sets for $1$-genericity with respect to these notions. In contrast, we show that there is a non-computable subsequence set for weak-$1$-genericity.

description: We compute the renormalized expectation value of the square of a quantum scalar field on a Reissner-Nordstrom-de Sitter black hole in which the temperatures of the event and cosmological horizons are equal (`lukewarm' black hole). Our numerical calculations for a thermal state at the same temperature as the two horizons indicate that this renormalized expectation value is regular on both the event and cosmological horizons. We are able to show analytically, using an approximation for the field modes near the horizons, that this is indeed the case.

description: The involvement of vertical customers in the ongoing deployment of 5G networks increases the need for performing tests and measurements, considering the stringent requirements of the vertical applications and the introduction of new business models. The exploitation of network and computing resource virtualization and sharing, such as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) and the different technology domains employed at the infrastructure substrate (i.e. radio, cloud, transport) are making the 5G network increasingly complex to manage, monitor and test. In case a vertical customer determines a Service Level Agreement (SLA) breach, the process of troubleshooting and conflict resolution includes cross-layer coordination of testing and monitoring. These are the main causes for a very broad and heterogeneous scenario that includes:

-- Roles and expectation of the vertical customers

-- Definition of testing and monitoring approaches and testing levels (from access network to service)

-- The need for, and role of Test as a Service (TaaS) within the Zero-touch philosophy

-- The need of clearly defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to support the validation of the 5G technology

-- The need of a clearly defined KPI Testing and Validation methodology, including KPI monitoring, analysis, verification, and performance diagnosis.

-- The need for a common formalization process for standardizing tests representing different levels of the 5G network.

This White Paper tries to be a first step into providing a more clear and homogeneous view over these topics, that will be briefly introduced and clarified. The idea is to establish a unified vision on the Test and Measurement topics for 5G, allowing for common procedures and terminology on how to solve some of these challenging problems. This is considered beneficial not only the 5G PPP infrastructure owners, but the entire 5G ecosystem. The technical direction is mainly the most predominant one, providing best practices, methodologies and applied solutions, focusing primarily on the actual testing and evaluation of 5G technologies. Nevertheless, the vision is providing substantiated answers to more high-level relevant questions such as “does slicing help fulfilling vertical requirements?”.

description: We seek to model the coupled evolution of a planet and a civilization through the era when energy harvesting by the civilization drives the planet into new and adverse climate states. In this way we ask if triggering "anthropocenes" of the kind humanity is experiencing now might be a generic feature of planet-civilization evolution. In this study we focus on the effects of energy harvesting via combustion and vary the planet's initial atmospheric chemistry and orbital radius. In our model, energy harvesting increases the civilization's population growth rate while also, eventually, leading to a degradation of the planetary climate state (relative to the civilization's habitability.) We also assume the existence of a Complex Life Habitable Zone in which very high levels of $CO_2$ are detrimental to multi-cellular animal life such as those creating technological civilizations. Our models show that the civilization's growth is truncated by planetary feedback (a "climate dominated anthropocene") for a significant region of the initial parameter space.

description: Patients with microscopic colitis may have subtle macroscopic findings on colonoscopy such as erythema, edema, or altered vascular pattern; however, radiographic abnormalities on cross-sectional imaging have not been investigated. We aimed at identifying the abdominopelvic radiographic abnormalities in patients with microscopic colitis, as well as possible correlation with endoscopic findings and the need for extended duration of treatment. This was a retrospective study of patients with biopsy-proven microscopic colitis at two tertiary centers between 1 January 2010 and 30 April 2020. Patients underwent computed tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging within 30 days of a diagnostic flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. Patients with colon ischemia and other causes of colitis were excluded. Radiographic abnormalities from imaging reports included bowel wall thickening, mucosal hyperenhancement and mesenteric fat stranding. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify predictors of radiographic abnormalities. 498 patients with microscopic colitis underwent abdominopelvic cross-sectional imaging within 30 days of flexible sigmoidoscopy/colonoscopy. Lymphocytic colitis was diagnosed in 54.6% of patients, and collagenous colitis in 45.4%. Endoscopic and radiographic abnormalities were identified in 16.1% and 12.4% of patients, respectively. Radiographic abnormalities were associated with the need for budesonide therapy (p = .029) and budesonide therapy long-term (p = .0028). Budesonide therapy long-term (p = .047) was associated with radiographic abnormalities in multivariate analysis. Radiographic abnormalities may be present on abdominopelvic cross-sectional imaging in a minority of patients with biopsy-proven microscopic colitis, suggesting cross-sectional imaging has low clinical value in the evaluation and treatment of this disease.

description: We discuss a scenario consisting of an effective 4D theory containing fundamental and composite fields. The strong dynamics sector responsible for the compositeness is assumed to be of extra dimensional origin. In the 4D effective theory the SM fermion and gauge fields are taken as fundamental fields. The scalar sector of the theory resembles a bosonic topcolor in the sense there are two scalar Higgs fields, a composite scalar field and a fundamental gauge-Higgs unification scalar. A detailed analysis of the scalar spectrum is presented in order to explore the parameter space consistent with experiment. It is found that, under the model assumptions, the acceptable parameter space is quite constrained. As a part of our phenomenological study of the model, we evaluate the branching ratio of the lightest Higgs boson and find that our model predicts a large FCNC mode h -> tc, which can be as large as O(10^{-3}). Similarly, a large BR for the top FCNC decay is obtained, namely B.R.(t -> c + H) \simeq 10^{-4}

description: We obtained a high resolution, high signal-to-noise UV-blue spectrum of the extremely metal-poor red giant HD88609 to determine the abundances of heavy elements. Nineteen neutron-capture elements are detected in the spectrum. Our analysis revealed that this object has large excesses of light neutron-capture elements while heavy neutron-capture elements are deficient. The abundance pattern shows a continuously decreasing trend, as a function of atomic number, from Sr to Yb, which is quite different from those in stars with excesses of r-process elements. Such an abundance pattern is very similar to that of HD122563 that was studied by our previous work. The results indicate that the abundance pattern found in the two stars could represent the pattern produced by the nucleosynthesis process that provided light neutron-capture elements in the very early Galaxy.

description: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the suitability of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires in patients with primary biliary cholangitis. Relevant studies were compiled from a search of five electronic databases. The properties under investigation included the validity of the translated questionnaires, floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Forty-four studies were included, from which fifteen HRQOL questionnaires were identified. The most frequently used instruments were the PBC-40 (n = 22), the SF-36 (n = 19), the PBC-27 (n = 4), the CLDQ (n = 3) and the NIDDK-QA (n = 2). The remaining instruments were used only once. Twenty-six studies used a translated HRQOL questionnaire, but only six reported or referenced validating the translated questionnaire. PBC-specific HRQOL questionnaires generally have good psychometric properties. However, many studies have directly applied HRQOL tools without verifying their validity and reliability in PBC patients. There was no clear indication that one HRQOL tool was superior to another, although the PBC-40 is the most well-studied. Thus, more robust psychometric studies are needed to investigate the measurement properties of HRQOL questionnaires.

description: Treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) should aim at achieving mucosal healing. However, monitoring schedules to support this goal remain undefined. We aimed to identify patients’ and physicians’ preferences regarding monitoring strategy and investigated the feasibility of such a strategy. Elements considered relevant for monitoring were identified in questionnaire surveys among 1) patients with IBD receiving biologic agents (n = 172) and 2) their physicians (n = 87). Adherence to a monitoring strategy incorporating these elements was investigated in a retrospective cohort of patients with IBD treated with biologic agents (n = 139). Patients considered blood and stool samples, endoscopies, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to be relevant aspects of monitoring their disease. However, patients also considered stool samples and endoscopies unpleasant. Physicians considered blood samples (99%), medical consultations (99%), fecal calprotectin (85%), endoscopy (78%), and MRI (71%) to be important aspects of IBD monitoring but considered endoscopies and MRI relevant only at clinical signs of relapse. A review of the clinical use of monitoring strategies including the elements identified above revealed high adherence for blood samples and disease activity indices (92%), but low adherence for fecal calprotectin (38%), therapeutic drug monitoring (38%), and endoscopies (32%). Important tools for evaluating mucosal healing (e.g., endoscopy) were rated highly unpleasant by patients, and physicians found endoscopies/MRI relevant only in case of relapse. These findings were reflected by low rates of adherence to use of these monitoring tools. In defining monitoring schedules to help achieve treatment goals, these important barriers must be addressed.

description: Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή πραγματεύεται το πλέγμα των ελληνοτουρκικών σχέσεων τη δεκαετία 1950 - 1960, επίκεντρο των οποίων ήταν οι εξελίξεις στο Κυπριακό, υπό το πρίσμα της γαλλικής διπλωματίας. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, εξετάζονται αφ’ ενός οι απόψεις των Γάλλων διπλωματών για το ζήτημα της Κύπρου, όπως αποτυπώνονται στα διπλωματικά αρχεία του Quai d’ Orsay και αφ’ ετέρου ο ρόλος που διαδραμάτισαν στη διαμόρφωση της πολιτικής των γαλλικών κυβερνήσεων επί του θέματος, σε μία περίοδο που η Γαλλία αντιμετώπιζε ένα εξίσου σοβαρό πρόβλημα αποαποικιοποίησης. Στο πρώτο μέρος διερευνώνται οι εκτιμήσεις των Γάλλων διπλωματών για τις προσπάθειες που καταβλήθηκαν αρχής γενομένης από το δημοψήφισμα της 15ης Ιανουαρίου 1950, προκειμένου να εγερθεί το ζήτημα της Κύπρου στη Γενική Συνέλευση των Ηνωμένων Εθνών, αλλά και η στάση που τήρησε το Παρίσι επί του θέματος. Στο δεύτερο μέρος αναλύεται η κριτική που άσκησε η γαλλική διπλωματία τόσο στις πρωτοβουλίες που αναλήφθηκαν την περίοδο 1955 - 1959 για τη διευθέτηση του Κυπριακού, όσο και στη λύση που εν τέλει προκρίθηκε διά της υπογραφής τον Φεβρουάριο του 1959 των Συμφωνιών της Ζυρίχης και του Λονδίνου, απόρροια των οποίων ήταν η ανακήρυξη της ανεξαρτησίας της Κύπρου τον Αύγουστο του 1960.
description: The present thesis deals with the nexus of greek-turkish relations in the fifties, the focus of which were the developments in the Cyprus question, under the prism of french diplomacy. In this context, are examined on the one hand the points of view of French diplomats for the Cyprus question, as they are presented in the diplomatics archives of Quai d’ Orsay and on the other hand the role that they played in the formation of french governments policy in the issue, in a period that France confronted an equally serious problem of decolonization. In the first part are scrutinized the estimations of French diplomats for the efforts that they were made, after the referendum of 15th January of 1950, to bring the Cyprus question in the General Assembly of the United Nations and the attitude that Paris kept in the issue. In the second part is analyzed the criticism that the french diplomacy exercised in the initiatives that they were undertaken the period 1955 - 1959 in order to settle the Cyprus question, and also in the solution that in the end was chosen through the signature in February 1959 of Zurich and London Agreements, the outcome of which was the proclamation of Cyprus independence in August 1960.

description: We introduce an algebra of data linkages. Data linkages are intended for modelling the states of computations in which dynamic data structures are involved. We present a simple model of computation in which states of computations are modelled as data linkages and state changes take place by means of certain actions. We describe the state changes and replies that result from performing those actions by means of a term rewriting system with rule priorities. The model in question is an upgrade of molecular dynamics. The upgrading is mainly concerned with the features to deal with values and the features to reclaim garbage.

description: We present a general method to add KK-monopole charge to any asymptotically flat stationary axisymmetric solution of five dimensional General Relativity. The technique exploits the underlying SL(3,R) invariance of the system by identifying a particular element of the symmetry group which changes the asymptotic boundary condition and adds KK-monopole charge. Furthermore, we develop a set of technical tools which allow us to apply the SL(3,R) transformations to solutions produced by the Inverse Scattering method. As an example of our methods, we construct the exact solution describing a static black ring carrying KK-monopole charge.

description: We give a proof of universality in the bulk of spectrum of unitary matrix models, assuming that the potential is globally $C^{2}$ and locally $C^{3}$ function. The proof is based on the determinant formulas for correlation functions in terms of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. We do not use asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials. We obtain the $sin$-kernel as a unique solution of a certain non-linear integro-differential equation.

description: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common indication for liver transplantation (LT), but post-LT tumor recurrence remains a concern. Early post-LT immunosuppression is suggested to affect recurrence risk. We evaluated the impact on HCC recurrence of an immunosuppression protocol introduced in 2010 with interleukin-2 receptor antibody (IL-2RA) induction and delayed-introduction of reduced-dose tacrolimus with mycophenolate. We included consecutive HCC patients transplanted 2000–2017 in Gothenburg. The impact on HCC recurrence of IL-2RA induction and mean tacrolimus trough concentration during the first 20 post-LT days was analyzed by multivariable Cox regression and propensity score-adjusted analyses. The study comprised 235 patients (mean age 57 yrs, men 80%, mean MELD 13, within Milan criteria 57%). The cumulative 5-yr HCC recurrence rate among patients transplanted before and after 2010 were 28.6% and 19.7%, respectively. IL-2RA induction had no independent effect on HCC recurrence. High tacrolimus exposure (mean 20-day tacrolimus concentration ≥8ng/mL) was associated with increased HCC recurrence risk on univariable analysis (HR 2.22, 95% CI 1.23–4.01, p = .008), but was non-significant on multivariable analysis (p = .17). Outside Milan criteria, high tacrolimus exposure was significant for HCC recurrence (HR 3.68, 95% CI 1.34–10.11, p = .012) independently of tumor characteristics and AFP level. This was confirmed on multivariable propensity score-adjusted analysis. Reduced early tacrolimus exposure, facilitated by IL-2RA induction, was associated with reduced risk for HCC recurrence among patients outside Milan criteria. Prospective studies are needed to confirm if early tacrolimus-minimization strategies can help reduce HCC recurrence rates and help extend transplant criteria.

description: We have studied a highly variable ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the Fornax galaxy NGC 1365, with a series of 12 Chandra and XMM-Newton observations between 2002 and 2006. In 2006 April, the source peaked at a luminosity ~ 3 x 10^{40} erg/s in the 0.3-10 keV band (similar to the maximum luminosity found by ASCA in 1995), and declined on an e-folding timescale ~ 3 days. The X-ray spectrum is always dominated by a broad power-law-like component. When the source is seen at X-ray luminosities ~ 10^{40} erg/s, an additional soft thermal component (which we interpret as emission from the accretion disk) contributes ~ 1/4 of the X-ray flux; when the luminosity is higher, ~ 3 x 10^{40} erg/s, the thermal component is not detected and must contribute < 10% of the flux. At the beginning of the decline, ionized absorption is detected around 0.5-2 keV; it is a possible signature of a massive outflow. The power-law is always hard, with a photon index Gamma ~ 1.7 (and even flatter at times), as is generally the case with bright ULXs. We speculate that this source and perhaps most other bright ULXs are in a high/hard state: as the accretion rate increases well above the Eddington limit, more and more power is extracted from the inner region of the inflow through non-radiative channels, and is used to power a Comptonizing corona, jet or wind. The observed thermal component comes from the standard outer disk; the transition radius between outer standard disk and Comptonizing inner region moves further out and to lower disk temperatures as the accretion rate increases. This produces the observed appearance of a large, cool disk. Based on X-ray luminosity and spectral arguments, we suggest that this accreting black hole has a likely mass ~ 50-150 Msun (even without accounting for possible beaming).

A toy model is introduced and the physically relevant quantities are derived. The energy fluctuation which shows that for large N the relative r.m.s fluctuation in the values of E is quite negligible is derived. The negative temperature for such systems is also studied. Finally a physical example is discussed and physical explanations in the context of quantum physics are given.

description: To examine whether positive associations between alcohol and liver enzymes were modified by coffee consumption, smoking, or weight status in a female population. Regular consumption of beer, wine, and spirits was assessed in a representative cohort of 1462 Swedish women aged 38–60 in 1968, and re-assessed in 1974. In 1980, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and aspartase transaminase (AST) were measured in 1130 women. Exposures were averaged over values obtained in 1968 and 1974. Multivariable linear regression linked total ethanol intake to log-transformed enzyme values, including interactions by coffee, smoking, and overweight in mutually adjusted models. Coffee consumption significantly modified the association between ethanol intake and liver enzymes. One g/day higher ethanol intake was associated with 5.5 (3.5, 7.5)% higher values of GGT, and 1.2 (0.4, 2.1)% higher values of AST in women consuming 0–1 cups of coffee per day, while smaller or no effects were observed in women consuming ≥2 cups/day. Synergistic interactions were observed for ethanol and smoking, and for ethanol and overweight. Average alcohol-related effects on GGT in smokers and non-smokers were given by 3.8 (2.7, 4.9)% and 2.1 (0.9, 3.2)% per g ethanol/day, and by 0.9 (0.4, 1.4)% and 0.2 (−0.3, 0.7)% for AST. Similarly, in overweight women, 1 g/day higher ethanol intake was associated with 4.3 (3.0, 5.6)% higher GGT compared to 1.6 (0.7, 2.5)% in non-overweight women. The results suggest that coffee consumption reduces the enzyme-raising effect of ethanol in the presence of synergistic interactions with smoking and overweight, specifically in women.

We realize F4 as the automorphisms group of the exceptional Jordan algebra, whose elements are 3 x 3 hermitian matrices with octonionic entries. We use a parametrization which generalizes the Euler angles for SU(2) and is based on the fibration of F4 via a Spin(9) subgroup as a fiber. This technique allows us to determine an explicit expression for the Haar invariant measure on the F4 group manifold. Apart from shedding light on the structure of F4 and its coset manifold OP2=F4/Spin(9), the octonionic projective plane, these results are a prerequisite for the study of E6, of which F4 is a (maximal) subgroup.

Pitting corrosion and intergranular corrosion of Al and Al-Cu alloy single crystals and bicrystals
Creators: name: Yasuda, Mitsuhiro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Single crystals and bicrystals have been used to study pitting corrosion and intergranular corrosion of Al and Al-Cu alloys in 0.5M NaCl solution. The critical pitting potential and pit density were examined as a function of a number of factors. These included crystallographic orientation; the bulk solution chemistry including CI- concentration, NO₃- addition and pH; the effect of Cu alloying; and the effects of homogenizing and aging on the alloy crystals. The susceptibility for pitting corrosion was found to depend on crystallographic orientation in pure Al with {111} showing maximum pitting and {011} and {001} exhibiting progressively less pitting. This crystallographic effect was not observed in the Al-3 wt% Cu alloy. The addition of Cu to pure Al was found to raise the Epit and produce a higher pit density on the surface. The increase of CI⁻ concentration was found to enhance pitting corrosion, producing a higher pit density and lowering the Epit. Addition of NO₃- to the solution decreases pitting corrosion, reduces the pit density and substantially shifts the Epit to a more noble potential. A model of pitting corrosion is proposed, based on a local kinetic balance between the repassivation process and the dissolution process at the bare metal surface at the base of a preexisting oxide flaw on the crystal surface. The model successfully accounts for the observed effects of the Cu alloy addition, and the solution composition variations on pitting corrosion. In the alloy bicrystals, it was observed that pitting corrosion in the grain boundary region was dependent on the composition and thermal history of the crystal. In most of the homogenized Al-Cu bicrystals, the presence of the grain boundary did not influence the pitting corrosion. In a 0.1 wt% Cu alloy with a tilt boundary of 28° about the <001> direction preferential pitting along the grain boundary was observed. The preferential pitting is attributed to nonequilibrium depletion of Cu at the high angle tilt boundary. Preferential attack is also observed at grain boundaries in as-grown and in aged bicrystals. This is attributed to Cu segregation in the crystals and the lower value of Epit associated with the Cu depleted regions.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A comprehensive research program has been developed since 1995 to focus on C. gigas abnormal mortality rates occurring regularly during the summer period in the Bay of Marennes Oleron. (France). Several subprojects were carried out including in-vitro ecophysiological studies to asses 1) the relationship between reproductive status, scope for growth and mortality, 2) effects of stress temperature on physiological functions. Meanwhile, field studies concerned monitoring surveys of calibrated oyster populations at various emersion time and geographic sites. A database was developed and incorporated into a geographic information system (GIS) to overlay several layers of information and establish relationship among environmental parameters and mortality rates. Concomitantly, seawater quality monitoring surveys were developed to assess carrying capacity and overall environmental conditions affecting oysters. Temperature probes were deployed at the near vicinity of oysters as well as a multiparameter probe to record, temperature, salinity, turbidity, pH and 02 concentration on a continuous basis. Moreover, a va!vometer recording continuously the oyster valve closure activity was deployed near the previous probe to establish relationship with environmental conditions. C. gigas summer mortality rates will be discussed and a general hypothesis will be proposed to explain mortality occurrence.

description: After reviewing known results on sensitiveness and also on robustness of attractors together with observations on their proofs, we show that for attractors of three-dimensional flows, robust chaotic behavior meaning sensitiveness to initial conditions for the past as well for the future for all nearby flows) is equivalent to the existence of certain hyperbolic structures. These structures, in turn, are associated to the existence of physical measures. In short in low dimensions, robust chaotic behavior for smooth flows ensures the existence of a physical measure.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A number of standard survey stations in the western Irish Sea were sampled by both the Republic and Northern Irish research vessels: This provided a 12 year time series of sexed length frequency distributions for the Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus. The male length frequency distributions were analysed using the computer programme MULTIFAN. This programme identifies length at age cohorts in the length frequency distributions, which it follows over time providing information on the mean lengths at age and the von Bertalanffy growth parameters for that population. These results were briefly discussed in relation to spatial and temporal differences and with a view to analysing conunercial catch data in the future.

description: Η εργασία, όπως γίνεται αντιληπτό και από τον τίτλο, εξετάζει τις πολιτικές και διπλωµατικές σχέσεις της Ελλάδας και της Βουλγαρίας από την απελευθέρωση της πρώτης τον Οκτώβριο του 1944 ως τη συµφωνία του Παρισιού το Μάιο του 1954, συμφωνία που αποκαθιστούσε µερικώς τις διπλωµατικές σχέσεις των δύο χωρών. Βασικός στόχος είναι η καταγραφή και ερμηνεία των σηµαντικότερων φάσεων που διήλθαν οι ελληνοβουλγαρικές σχέσεις από το ναδίρ του 1944, οπότε Αθήνα και Σόφια βρίσκονταν σε εµπόλεµη κατάσταση και χωρίς διπλωµατικές σχέσεις, στην εξομάλυνση των σχέσεων αυτών το έτος 1954. Πολύτιμος αρωγός στην προσπάθεια αυτή στάθηκε το πρωτογενές αρχειακό υλικό που εντοπίσθηκε στο Ιστορικό Αρχείο του υπουργείου Εξωτερικών της Ελλάδας και στα Κεντρικά Κρατικά Αρχεία της Βουλγαρίας, το οποίο για πρώτη φορά βλέπει το φως της δημοσιότητας στην ελληνική βιβλιογραφία. Η εξομάλυνση δε των ελληνοβουλγαρικών σχέσεων μπορεί να καταγραφεί ως ορόσημο στη διπλωματική ιστορία της Βαλκανικής χερσονήσου, καθώς έπειτα από μία μακρά περίοδο σκληρών αντιθέσεων και αντιπαραθέσεων, απότοκη πολιτικών και ιδεολογικών παραγόντων, οι δύο χώρες αποφάσισαν να εγκαταλείψουν την πολιτική έντασης και να προχωρήσουν στην εγκαθίδρυση σχέσεων φιλίας και συνεργασίας.
description: This thesis is an extended analysis of the Greek-Bulgarian political and diplomatic relations from the liberation of Greece in October 1944 till their normalization in May 1954. The primary objective is to record and interpret the main phases of the Greek-Bulgarian relations during this period. It is based on archival material discovered in the Foreign Ministries of Greece and Bulgaria, a material which is presented for the first time in Greek bibliography. This normalization can be recorded as a milestone in the diplomatic history of the Balkan Peninsula since the two countries decided to embark on a policy of friendship and cooperation.
Characterization of the cooling and transformation of steels on a run-out table of hot-strip mill
Creators: name: McCulloch, Craig Allen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A mathematical model has been developed to predict the thermal history of strip during cooling on the run-out table of a hot strip mill. The model incorporates phase transformation kinetics and accounts for the heat of transformation. To characterize the cooling by laminar water sprays, in-plant trials were conducted at the Stelco Lake Erie Works hot strip mill. The temperature data was used in the thermal model to calculate an overall heat transfer coefficient for a laminar water bank of 1 kW/m²°C. Isothermal diametral dilatometer testing was used to generate phase transformation kinetics for a 0.34 weight percent plain carbon steel. Continuous cooling dilatometer testing was used to calculate the transformation start time as a function of the cooling rate. The high cooling rates of 40 °C/s to 50°C/s, experienced on the run-out table had the effect of depressing the transformation start temperature by over 100°C. The phase transformation kinetics were incorporated in a phase transformation model and employed to predict thermal profiles for a 0.34 carbon plain-carbon steel. The temperature predictions were within 25"C of the plant pyrometer readings using the calculated overall heat transfer coefficient and within 35°C of the plant pyrometer values using literature derived heat transfer coefficients. A simulation of the model predicted cooling conditions on a Gleeble high temperature testing machine showed that the transformation was occurring at approximately 730°C. The empirical transformation start time, obtained from cooling rate versus transformation start time tests, which was used in the phase transformation portion of the model, and the Gleeble simulation gave excellent agreement with the model thermal profile predictions.

description: Optical trapping of selected species of radioactive atoms has great potential in precision measurements for testing fundamental physics such as EDM, PNC and parity violating beta-decay asymmetry correlation coefficients. We report trapping of 10^4 radioactive ^{82}Rb atoms (t_{1/2}=75 s) with a trap lifetime of ~55 seconds in an optical dipole trap. Transfer efficiency from the magneto-optical trap was ~14%. We further report the evidence of spontaneous spin polarization of the atoms in optical dipole trap loading. This advancement is an important step towards a new generation of precision J-beta correlations measurements with polarized ^{82}Rb atoms.
