description: GYOTO, a general relativistic ray-tracing code, is presented. It aims at computing images of astronomical bodies in the vicinity of compact objects, as well as trajectories of massive bodies in relativistic environments. This code is capable of integrating the null and timelike geodesic equations not only in the Kerr metric, but also in any metric computed numerically within the 3+1 formalism of general relativity. Simulated images and spectra have been computed for a variety of astronomical targets, such as a moving star or a toroidal accretion structure. The underlying code is open source and freely available. It is user-friendly, quickly handled and very modular so that extensions are easy to integrate. Custom analytical metrics and astronomical targets can be implemented in C++ plug-in extensions independent from the main code.

description: In Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, interactions between water molecules and graphitic surfaces are often modeled as a simple Lennard-Jones potential between oxygen and carbon atoms. A possible method for tuning this parameter consists of simulating a water nanodroplet on a flat graphitic surface, measuring the equilibrium contact angle, extrapolating it to the limit of a macroscopic droplet and finally matching this quantity to experimental results. Considering recent evidence demonstrating that the contact angle of water on a graphitic plane is much higher than what was previously reported, we estimate the oxygen-carbon interaction for the recent SPC/Fwwater model. Results indicate a value of about 0.2 kJ/mol, much lower than previous estimations. We then perform simulations of cylindrical water filaments on graphitic surfaces, in order to compare and correlate contact angles resulting from these two different systems. Results suggest that modified Young's equation does not describe the relation between contact angle and drop size in the case of extremely small systems and that contributions different from the one deriving from contact line tension should be taken into account.

description: Shell model calculations reveal that the ground and low-lying yrast states of the $N=Z$ nuclei $^{92}_{46}$Pd and $^{96}$Cd are mainly built upon isoscalar spin-aligned neutron-proton pairs each carrying the maximum angular momentum J=9 allowed by the shell $0g_{9/2}$ which is dominant in this nuclear region. This mode of excitation is unique in nuclei and indicates that the spin-aligned pair has to be considered as an essential building block in nuclear structure calculations. In this contribution we will discuss this neutron-proton pair coupling scheme in detail. In particular, we will explore the competition between the normal monopole pair coupling and the spin-aligned coupling schemes. Such a coupling may be useful in elucidating the structure properties of $N=Z$ and neighboring nuclei.

description: Detecting attacks based on their behaviour is challenging for security defence mechanisms, including Anomaly Intrusion Detection Systems (AIDSes) due to the attacks’ behaviours, numbers, and architecture used on AIDSes. Lack of information about attacks and their imbalances in datasets leads to limited performance in AIDSes. This research applied generative adversarial models to obtain more attacks and evaluate their quality to build efficient AIDSes against rare and unseen attacks. Specifically, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Bidirectional Generative Adversarial Networks (BiGAN) and Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks (WGAN) were applied and evaluated on two popular datasets (NSL-KDD and CICIDS-2017) to identify these model’s limitations and propose new ones. The proposed models were Enhanced-Bidirectional Generative Adversarial Network (E-BiGAN) and AutoEncoder-Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks (AE-WGAN), which improved Anomaly Intrusion Detection System (AIDS) performance. The suggested models produce realistic attacks by learning from attack classes to build efficient AIDS against new and unseen attacks. The results indicate a significant enhancement for some attack classes where the AIDSes were utilised to deliver the best performance measure in evaluation metric scores. The study found that the generative model cannot produce high-quality attacks for all classes due to few samples for minor attacks, which delivered limited attack quality and limited impact on AIDS performance. For a comprehensive study, the Architecture types used in AIDS include popular Deep Learning (DL) classifiers; Convolution Neural Network (CNN), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). The study provides important insights into AIDS-related factors, which are affected by the nature of attacks, the dataset used to train the AIDS, classification type to train the AIDS. The research recommends considering all mentioned factors for building a robust AIDS. Finally, the proposed models were tested on the CSE-CIC-IDS2018 dataset for more validation, where the results showed that the performance is better than traditional generative models (BiGAN, WGAN).

description: In the chapters 44-50 of Ben Sira’s book, which constitute a distinct section called "hymn of the fathers", the author strongly uses the element of narrative. He chooses important and prominent personages from Israel’s history, in order to instructively pass certain messages to his people, to his students. In the present thesis, the modern theories about narrative and their use in the pedagogical process are first analyzed. Then, the socio-historical and religious context in which Ben Sira’s book was written and by extension the hymn of the fathers, is also studied. The hymn is analyzed separately for every personage mentioned by the author's narrative techniques. Finally, the conclusions were drawn according to the questions under study of this thesis.

description: Under the assumption that the dijet excess seen by the CDF Collaboration near 150 Gev in Wjj production is due to the lightest technipion of the low-scale technicolor process $ρ_T \rightarrow W π_T$, we study its observability in LHC detectors for 8 TeV collisions and 20 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity. We describe interesting new kinematic tests that can provide independent confirmation of this LSTC hypothesis. We show that cuts similar to those employed by CDF, and recently by ATLAS, cannot confirm the dijet signal. We propose cuts tailored to the LSTC hypothesis and its backgrounds at the LHC that may reveal $ρ_T \rightarrow \ellνjj$. Observation of the isospin-related channel $ρ^{\pm}_T \rightarrow Z π^{\pm}_T \rightarrow \ell^+\ell^- jj$ and of $ρ^{\pm}_T \rightarrow WZ$ in the $\ell^+\ell^-\ell^{pm}ν_\ell$ and $\ell^+\ell^- jj$ modes will be important confirmations of the LSTC interpretation of the CDF signal. The $Zπ_T$ channel is experimentally cleaner than $Wπ_T$ and its rate is known from $Wπ_T$ by phase space. It can be discovered or excluded with the collider data expected by the end of 2012. The $WZ \rightarrow 3\ellν$ channel is cleanest of all and its rate is determined from $Wπ_T$ and the LSTC parameter $\sinχ$. This channel and $WZ \to \ell^+\ell^- jj$ are discussed as a function of $\sinχ$.

description: Η χορήγηση επιπρόσθετης δόσης ακτινοβολίας στην κοίτη του όγκου (boost) στη μετεγχειρητική ακτινοθεραπεία του μαστού (WBI) μπορεί να είναι ευεργετική για επιλεγμένες ασθενείς, με σχετικά υψηλότερο κίνδυνο για τοπική υποτροπή. Ωστόσο, η ακριβής δόση και η κλασματοποίηση της δόσης του boost συνήθως υπόκεινται σε κλινική διαίσθηση, ειδικά στην τρέχουσα εποχή της υποκλασματοποιημένης ακτινοθεραπείας μαστού (HRT), ενώ δεδομένα από μελέτες κλινικής πρακτικής καταδεικνύουν μια τάση προς σημαντικά χαμηλότερα ποσοστά χρήσης boost όταν χρησιμοποιείται HRT έναντι συμβατικής κλασματοποίησης. Στην τρέχουσα εργασία παρουσιάζουμε τα αποτελέσματα των σχημάτων ακτινοθεραπείας (ΑΚΘ) μαστού που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στις κύριες σχετικές κλινικές μελέτες, για τις οποίες υπολογίσαμε τις Βιολογικά Ισοδύναμες Δόσεις (Biologically Effective Dose, BED, χρησιμοποιώντας το Γραμμικό-Τετραγωνικό μοντέλο). Απαιτείται WBI τιμής BED 65-70 Gy3,5 για τη μείωση των ποσοστών τοπικής υποτροπής σε αποδεκτά χαμηλά επίπεδα. Εάν υπάρχει ένδειξη για boost, μπορεί να επαρκεί ένα ισοδύναμο BED 15-18 Gy3,5. Μεγαλύτερα σε διάρκεια σχήματα boost με τιμή BED μεγαλύτερη από 20 Gy3,5 δεν φαίνεται να προσφέρουν πρόσθετο όφελος και μπορεί να συνδέονται με υψηλότερο κίνδυνο για μακροπρόθεσμες συνέπειες και σπατάλη πόρων.
description: The addition of a boost to postoperative whole breast irradiation (WBI) might be beneficial for selected patients, of relatively higher-risk for local recurrence. However, the exact dose and fractionation of the boost are usually subject to clinical intuition, especially in the current era of hypofractionated breast radiotherapy (HRT), while patterns-of-practice data show underutilization of a boost when HRT is used following WBI. In the current work we present the outcomes of breast RT schedules employed in the main relevant clinical trials, for which we calculated the Biologically Effective Doses (BED, using the Linear-Quadratic model). A WBI of a BED value of 65-70 Gy3.5 is required to reduce local recurrence rates to acceptably low levels. If there is an indication for a boost, an equivalent BED of 15-18 Gy3.5 might be adequate. Longer boost RT schedules with a BED value of higher than 20 Gy3.5 do not seem to offer additional benefit and might be given at the cost of a higher risk for long-term consequences and waste of resources.

We show that isotopy classes in this category can differ from those of classical knot and link theory. In particular we exhibit a Gordian Split Link, a two component link that is split in the classical theory but cannot be split with a physical isotopy.

description: While the legacy of Herodotus has already captured the attention of many commentators, only a few have delved into the distinct aspects of the reception of the Egyptian logos, predominantly concentrated in Book 2. This is surprising given its significance, not only for its exemplary nature, but also for its originality. This study aims to pinpoint the specific features characterizing the reception of Book 2, mainly spanning from the nineteenth century to the present day. It approaches this topic from two interconnected and pivotal perspectives: first, an exploration of the sources used by Herodotus in crafting his depiction of Egypt and an assessment of their credibility; secondly, an examination of how academic research has engaged with Book 2, oscillating between viewing it as a repository of insights into ancient Egypt and interpreting it merely as a reflection of the Greek perspective on the land of the Nile.

title: Quantum Bounds on Detector Efficiencies for Violating Bell Inequalities Using Semidefinite Programming
Creators: name: Sauer, Alexander

Publisher: name: MDPI
Year: 2023

description: Loophole-free violations of Bell inequalities are crucial for fundamental tests of quantum nonlocality. They are also important for future applications in quantum information processing, such as device-independent quantum key distribution. Based on a detector model which includes detector inefficiencies and dark counts, we estimate the minimal requirements on detectors needed for performing loophole-free bipartite and tripartite Bell tests. Our numerical investigation is based on a hierarchy of semidefinite programs for characterizing possible quantum correlations. We find that for bipartite setups with two measurement choices and our detector model, the optimal inequality for a Bell test is equivalent to the Clauser–Horne inequality.

description: Fermi has provided the largest sample of γ-ray selected blazars to date. In this work we use a complete sample of FSRQs detected during the first year of operation to determine the luminosity function (LF) and its evolution with cosmic time. The number density of FSRQs grows dramatically up to redshift \sim0.5-2.0 and declines thereafter. The redshift of the peak in the density is luminosity dependent, with more luminous sources peaking at earlier times; thus the LF of γ-ray FSRQs follows a luminosity-dependent density evolution similarly to that of radio-quiet AGN. Also using data from the Swift Burst Alert Telescope we derive the average spectral energy distribution of FSRQs in the 10 keV-100 GeV band and show that there is no correlation of the peak γ-ray luminosity with γ-ray peak frequency. The coupling of the SED and LF allows us to predict that the contribution of FSRQs to the Fermi isotropic γ-ray background is 9.3(+1.6/-1.0) (\pm3% systematic uncertainty) in the 0.1-100GeV band. Finally we determine the LF of unbeamed FSRQs, finding that FSRQs have an average Lorentz factor of γ = 11.7(+3.3/-2.2), that most are seen within 5\circ of the jet axis, and that they represent only ~0.1 % of the parent population.

description: We theoretically study gate-defined one-dimensional channels in planar Ge hole gases as a potential platform for non-Abelian Majorana zero modes. We model the valence band holes in the Ge channel by adding appropriate confinement potentials to the 3D Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian, additionally taking into account a magnetic field applied parallel to the channel, an out-of-plane electric field, as well as the effect of compressive strain in the parent quantum well. Assuming that the Ge channel is proximitized by an $s$-wave superconductor (such as, e.g., Al) we calculate the topological phase diagrams for different channel geometries, showing that sufficiently narrow Ge hole channels can indeed enter a topological superconducting phase with Majorana zero modes at the channel ends. We estimate the size of the topological gap and its dependence on various system parameters such as channel width, strain, and the applied out-of-plane electric field, allowing us to critically discuss under which conditions Ge hole channels may manifest Majorana zero modes. Since ultra-clean Ge quantum wells with hole mobilities exceeding one million and mean-free paths on the order of many microns already exist, gate-defined Ge hole channels may be able to overcome some of the problems caused by the presence of substantial disorder in more conventional Majorana platforms.

description: We study the transport properties for a walker on a ratchet potential. The walker consists of two particles coupled by a bistable potential that allow the interchange of the order of the particles while moving through a one-dimensional asymmetric periodic ratchet potential. We consider the stochastic dynamics of the walker on a ratchet with an external periodic forcing, in the overdamped case. The coupling of the two particles corresponds to a single effective particle, describing the internal degree of freedom, in a bistable potential. This double-well potential is subjected to both a periodic forcing and noise, and therefore is able to provide a realization of the phenomenon of stochastic resonance. The main result is that there is an optimal amount of noise where the amplitude of the periodic response of the system is maximum, a signal of stochastic resonance, and that precisely for this optimal noise the average velocity of the walker is maximal, implying a strong link between stochastic resonance and the ratchet effect.

Structural analysis of beta-lactamase and resistant transpeptidase inhibition
Creators: name: Gretes, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Beta-lactam antibiotics have achieved phenomenal success in the treatment of infections by inhibiting the transpeptidase enzymes that cross-link the bacterial cell wall. Beta-lactamase-producing pathogenic bacteria and multi-drug-resistant “superbugs” such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have emerged, however. Overcoming resistance factors is thus a research priority. BLIP (Beta-Lactamase Inhibitory Protein) from Streptomyces clavuligerus binds a variety of beta-lactamase enzymes with widely ranging specificity. Its interaction with Escherichia coli beta-lactamase TEM-1 is a well-established model system for protein-protein interaction studies. Presented in Chapter 2 are crystal structures of two BLIP relatives: BLIP-I (a highaffinity inhibitor, alone and in complex with TEM-1) and BLP (which appears not to inhibit beta-lactamases). Substantial variation appears possible in the sub-nanomolar binding of TEM-1 by two homologous proteinaceous inhibitors and such favorable interactions can be negated by a few, strongly unfavorable interactions. OXA-10 is a Pseudomonas aeruginosa beta-lactamase that is resistant to inhibitors in clinical use. Cyclobutanone beta-lactam mimics could be used instead. Chapter 3 reports the crystal structure of OXA-10 covalently modified at its catalytic serine nucleophile with a cyclobutanone inhibitor to form a hemiketal. Favorable and unfavorable contacts made at the active site are examined with a view to improved inhibitor design. PBP2a is the resistant transpeptidase that allows MRSA to maintain the bacterial cell wall in the presence of beta-lactam antibiotics. Ceftobiprole is the most clinically-advanced among a new generation of beta-lactams designed to treat MRSA by targeting PBP2a itself. Chapter 4 uses the crystal structure of a truncated, soluble form of PBP2a solved in complex iii with ceftobiprole to explain its inhibitory power and evaluate current anti-MRSA drug design hypotheses. Its efficacy appears to arise from improved binding affinity that overcomes the disfavored energetics of acylation. Ceftobiprole clinical trials reported no bacterial resistance, yet fully ceftobiproleresistant MRSA (MIC 128 !g/ml) were generated by passage through subinhibitory concentrations of ceftobiprole, discussed in Chapter 5. Resistance emerges in most cases via mutations to the gene encoding PBP2a. Computational modeling predicts that ceftobiprole resistance may be mediated in PBP2a by alteration of binding affinity, acylation efficiency, or by influencing interactions with other proteins.

description: Mental illnesses are one of the most prevalent public health problems worldwide, which negatively influence people's lives and society's health. With the increasing popularity of social media, there has been a growing research interest in the early detection of mental illness by analysing user-generated posts on social media. According to the correlation between emotions and mental illness, leveraging and fusing emotion information has developed into a valuable research topic. In this article, we provide a comprehensive survey of approaches to mental illness detection in social media that incorporate emotion fusion. We begin by reviewing different fusion strategies, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, we discuss the major challenges faced by researchers working in this area, including issues surrounding the availability and quality of datasets, the performance of algorithms and interpretability. We additionally suggest some potential directions for future research.

description: We analyze the synchronization dynamics of a model obtained from the phase reduction of the mean-field complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with heterogeneity. We present exact results that uncover the role of dissipative and reactive couplings on the synchronization transition when shears and natural frequencies are independently distributed. As it occurs in the purely dissipative case, an excess of shear diversity prevents the onset of synchronization, but this does not hold true if coupling is purely reactive. In this case the synchronization threshold turns out to depend on the mean of the shear distribution, but not on all the other distribution's moments.

description: We present U-Note, an augmented teaching and learning system leveraging the advantages of paper while letting teachers and pupils benefit from the richness that digital media can bring to a lecture. U-Note provides automatic linking between the notes of the pupils' notebooks and various events that occurred during the class (such as opening digital documents, changing slides, writing text on an interactive whiteboard...). Pupils can thus explore their notes in conjunction with the digital documents that were presented by the teacher during the lesson. Additionally, they can also listen to what the teacher was saying when a given note was written. Finally, they can add their own comments and documents to their notebooks to extend their lecture notes. We interviewed teachers and deployed questionnaires to identify both teachers and pupils' habits: most of the teachers use (or would like to use) digital documents in their lectures but have problems in sharing these resources with their pupils. The results of this study also show that paper remains the primary medium used for knowledge keeping, sharing and editing by the pupils. Based on these observations, we designed U-Note, which is built on three modules. U-Teach captures the context of the class: audio recordings, the whiteboard contents, together with the web pages, videos and slideshows displayed during the lesson. U-Study binds pupils' paper notes (taken with an Anoto digital pen) with the data coming from U-Teach and lets pupils access the class materials at home, through their notebooks. U-Move lets pupils browse lecture materials on their smartphone when they are not in front of a computer.

description: Current challenges, such as climate change or military conflicts, show the great importance of urban supply infrastructures. In this context, an open question is how different scenarios and crises can be studied in silico to assess the interaction between the needs of social systems and technical infrastructures. Agent-based modeling is a suitable method for this purpose. This review investigates (i) how agent-based models of residential water demand should be validated, (ii) how such models are commonly built and (iii) validated, and (iv) how these validation practices compare to the recommendations drawn from question (i). Therefore, a systematic literature review using the PRISMA framework is conducted. Out of 207 screened papers, 35 models are identified with an emphasis on highly realistic models (i.e., highly detailed and representing specific real-world systems) for planning, management, and policy of urban water resources. While some models are thoroughly validated, quantified validation distinct from calibration data should be emphasized and used to communicate the confidence in results and recommendations drawn from the models. Pattern-oriented validation, validation on multiple levels and on higher moments of aggregated statistics should be considered more often. These findings expand prior literature by providing a more extensive sample of reviewed articles and recommending specific approaches for the validation of models.

description: We theoretically propose that an electric voltage can be generated by thermal gradient with a rotating skyrmion crystal confined in a magnetic disk. We find that the rotation of skyrmion crystal induced by diffusive thermal magnon currents in the presence of temperature gradient gives rise to spinmotive forces in the radial direction through coupling to conduction-electron spins. The amplitude of generated spinmotive force is larger for a larger temperature gradient at a lower temperature. The proposed phenomenon can be exploited as spintronics-based thermoelectric devices to realize the conversion of heat to electricity.

description: We construct a "stringy" version of Newton-Cartan gravity in which the concept of a Galilean observer plays a central role. We present both the geodesic equations of motion for a fundamental string and the bulk equations of motion in terms of a gravitational potential which is a symmetric tensor with respect to the longitudinal directions of the string. The extension to include a non-zero cosmological constant is given. We stress the symmetries and (partial) gaugings underlying our construction. Our results provide a convenient starting point to investigate applications of the AdS/CFT correspondence based on the non-relativistic "stringy" Galilei algebra.

Η αναδρομική μελέτη στηρίχτηκε σε σειρά επτά ασθενών όλοι από τους οποίους υπεβλήθησαν σε εκτομή όγκων του παραφαρυγγικού χώρου ενδοστοματικά με χρήση δευτρεύουσας βοηθητικής τραχηλικής προσπέλασης. Η μέγιστη ενδονοσοκομειακή νοσηλεία των ασθενών έφτασε τις τρείς ημέρες ενώ κανείς δεν εμφάνισε μετεγχειρητικές επιπλοκές ή υποτροπή του όγκου. Με βάση τα ευρήματα της μελέτης φαίνεται ότι η προσπέλαση του παραφαρυγγικού χώρου ενδοστοματικά και τραχηλικά για την εκτομή ευμεγέθων όγκων της περιοχής, αποτελεί μια ασφαλή επέμβαση με χαμηλή νοσηρότητα και επιτυχή αποτελέσματα.
description: The present study was conducted to propose transoral resection via a combined approach as an efficient way to excise large tumors of the parapharyngeal space. This retrospective case series study was conducted on seven patients all of which underwent transoral tumor excision preceded by an auxiliary transcervical approach, Average hospital stay reached a maximum of 3 days, and all patients did not experience any postoperative adverse outcomes or signs of recurrence. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that approaching the parapharyngeal space through a both transoral and transcervical route to excise sizeable tumors is a safe and effective procedure with low morbidity and successful outcomes.

description: A theoretical study of the K-shell ionization of hydrogen-like ions, colliding with bare nuclei, is performed within the framework of the time-dependent Dirac equation. Special emphasis is placed on the ionization probability that is investigated as a function of impact parameter, collision energy and nuclear charge. To evaluate this probability in a wide range of collisional parameters we propose a simple analytical expression for the transition amplitude. This expression contains three fitting parameters that are determined from the numerical calculations, based on the adiabatic approximation. In contrast to previous studies, our analytical expression for the transition amplitude and ionization probability accounts for the full multipole expansion of the two-center potential and allows accurate description of nonsymmetric collisions of nuclei with different atomic numbers, $Z_1 \neq Z_2$. The calculations performed for both symmetric and asymmetric collisions indicate that the ionization probability is reduced when the difference between the atomic numbers of ions increases.

description: Large data-sets defined on the sphere arise in many fields. In particular, recent and forthcoming observations of the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) made on the celestial sphere contain approximately three and fifty mega-pixels respectively. The compression of such data is therefore becoming increasingly important. We develop algorithms to compress data defined on the sphere. A Haar wavelet transform on the sphere is used as an energy compression stage to reduce the entropy of the data, followed by Huffman and run-length encoding stages. Lossless and lossy compression algorithms are developed. We evaluate compression performance on simulated CMB data, Earth topography data and environmental illumination maps used in computer graphics. The CMB data can be compressed to approximately 40% of its original size for essentially no loss to the cosmological information content of the data, and to approximately 20% if a small cosmological information loss is tolerated. For the topographic and illumination data compression ratios of approximately 40:1 can be achieved when a small degradation in quality is allowed. We make our SZIP program that implements these compression algorithms available publicly.
