description: A goal of Cassini's extended mission has been to examine the seasonal variations of Saturn's magnetosphere, moons, and rings. Recently we showed that the magnetospheric plasma between the main rings and Enceladus exhibited a time dependence that we attributed to a seasonally variable source of oxygen from the main rings (Elrod et al., 2012). Such a temporal variation was subsequently seen in the energetic ion composition (Christon et al., 2013). Here we include the most recent measurements by the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) in our analysis (Elrod et al., 2012) and modeling (Tseng et al., 2013a) of the temporal and radial dependence of the thermal plasma in the region between the main rings and the orbit of Enceladus. Data taken in 2012, well past equinox for which the northern side of the main rings were illuminated, appear consistent with a seasonal variation. Although the thermal plasma in this region comes from two sources, the extended ring atmosphere and the Enceladus torus that have very different radial and temporal trends, the heavy ion density is found to exhibit a steep radial dependence that is similar for all years examined. Using our chemical model, we show that this dependence requires a radial dependence for Enceladus torus than differs from recent models or, more likely, enhanced heavy ion quenching with decreasing distance from the edge of the main rings. We examine the possible physical processes and suggest that the precipitation of the inward diffusing high energy background radiation onto the edge of the main rings could play an important role.

description: This thesis proposes a transformative approach for managing dust-related challenges on Australia's extensive unsealed road network. Employing advanced machine learning, the research accurately estimates dust emissions, replacing costly monitoring methods. Field tests demonstrate reduced dust and improved road safety. Application of bitumen emulsion enhances road stability, benefiting travellers and freight operators. The significance lies in optimized maintenance, cost savings, and longer-lasting infrastructure, contributing to a resilient and sustainable transportation network. Safer driving conditions and improved air quality are additional benefits. This innovative approach revolutionizes unsealed road management, benefiting all stakeholders involved in transportation.

description: Objective: Research on Open Science practices in Health Psychology is lacking. This meta-research study aimed to identify research question priorities and obtain consensus on the Top 5 prioritised research questions for Open Science in Health Psychology. Methods and measures: An international Delphi consensus study was conducted. Twenty-three experts in Open Science and Health Psychology within the European Health Psychology Society (EHPS) suggested research question priorities to create a ‘long-list’ of items (Phase 1). Forty-three EHPS members rated the importance of these items, ranked their top five and suggested their own additional items (Phase 2). Twenty-four EHPS members received feedback on Phase 2 responses and then re-rated and re-ranked their top five research questions (Phase 3). Results: The top five ranked research question priorities were: 1. ‘To what extent are Open Science behaviours currently practised in Health Psychology?’, 2. ‘How can we maximise the usefulness of Open Data and Open Code resources?’, 3. ‘How can Open Data be increased within Health Psychology?’, 4. ‘What interventions are effective for increasing the adoption of Open Science in Health Psychology?’ and 5. ‘How can we increase free Open Access publishing in Health Psychology?’. Conclusion: Funding and resources should prioritise the research questions identified here.

description: A method for fabrication of polarization degenerate oxide apertured micropillar cavities is demon- strated. Micropillars are etched such that the size and shape of the oxide front is controlled. The polarization splitting in the circular micropillar cavities due to the native and strain induced bire- fringence can be compensated by elongating the oxide front in the [110] direction, thereby reducing stress in this direction. By using this technique we fabricate a polarization degenerate cavity with a quality factor of 1.7*?10^4 and a mode volume of 2.7 u?m3, enabling a calculated maximum Purcell factor of 11.

description: The Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) observed the distant Earth on three occasions in 2009. These data span a range of phase angles, including a rare crescent phase view. For each epoch, the satellite acquired near-infrared and mid-infrared full-disk images, and partial-disk spectra at 0.26-0.65 microns (R~500) and 1.17-2.48 microns (R~50). Spectra show strong absorption features due to water vapor and ozone, which is a biosignature gas. We perform a significant recalibration of the UV-visible spectra and provide the first comparison of high-resolution visible Earth spectra to the NASA Astrobiology Institute's Virtual Planetary Laboratory three-dimensional spectral Earth model. We find good agreement with the observations, reproducing the absolute brightness and dynamic range at all wavelengths for all observation epochs, thus validating the model to within the ~10% data calibration uncertainty. Data-model comparisons reveal a strong ocean glint signature in the crescent phase dataset, which is well matched by our model predictions throughout the observed wavelength range. This provides the first observational test of a technique that could be used to determine exoplanet habitability from disk-integrated observations at visible and near-infrared wavelengths, where the glint signal is strongest. We examine the detection of the ozone 255 nm Hartley and 400-700 nm Chappuis bands. While the Hartley band is the strongest ozone feature in Earth's spectrum, false positives for its detection could exist. Finally, we discuss the implications of these findings for future exoplanet characterization missions.

description: COupled SLope and scIntillation Detection And Ranging (CO-SLIDAR) is a recent profiling method of the vertical distribution of atmospheric turbulence strength ($C_n^2$ profile). It takes advantage of correlations of slopes and of scintillation, both measured with a Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor on a binary star. In this paper, we present the improved CO-SLIDAR reconstruction method of the $C_n^2$ profile and the first on-sky results of the CO-SLIDAR profiler. We examine CO-SLIDAR latest performance in simulation, taking into account the detection noise bias and estimating error bars along with the turbulence profile. The estimated $C_n^2$ profiles demonstrate the accuracy of the CO-SLIDAR method, showing sensitivity to both low and high altitude turbulent layers. CO-SLIDAR is tested on-sky for the first time, on the $1.5$~m MeO (Métrologie Optique) telescope at Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur (France). The reconstructed profiles are compared to turbulence profiles estimated from meteorological data and a good agreement is found. We discuss CO-SLIDAR's contribution in the $C_n^2$ profilers' landscape and we propose some improvements of the instrument.

description: Recently, it was shown that the spectrum of anomalous dimensions and other important observables in N = 4 SYM are encoded into a simple nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert problem: the Pμ-system or Quantum Spectral Curve. In this letter we present the Pμ-system for the spectrum of the ABJM theory. This may be an important step towards the exact determination of the interpolating function h(λ) characterising the integrability of the ABJM model. We also discuss a surprising symmetry between the Pμ-system equations for N = 4 SYM and ABJM.

description: The aim of this study was to estimate the feeding strategies of pregnant and lactating ewes fed only silage/hay or supplemented with concentrates (oat) on the ewe body condition score (BCS), production of ewes (lambs born per ewe lambed (LB), lambs born alive per ewe lambed (LBA), lambs born dead per ewe lambed (LBD), lamb birth weight (LBW), lamb 100 day weight (L100DW)) and ewe blood glycose and β-hydroxy-butyrate (BHB) concentrations. The Estonian White Face and Texel ewes (107 ewes) were divided into two similar groups: the experimental group (59 ewes) and control group (48 ewes). For 45–60 days before lambing (from 90th–105th day of gestation) the experimental ewes were fed in addition to forage feeds (silage, hay or pasture grass) 0.22 kg of organic oat per day (totally 10 kg in gestation period) and 0.3 kg of oat during suckling period (totally 13.5 kg per ewe). The control group of ewes were fed only with forage-based rations (silage, hay, pasture grass) without cereals. Ewe BCS was assessed before mating, on 130–140 day of pregnancy, after lambing (following 7th–10th day), during the 2nd suckling months (45–60 suckling day) and at weaning of lambs by two observers during the whole study. It was concluded that additional feeding of minimal amount of oats increased the ewes BCS in the experimental group at 130–140 day of pregnancy (BCS was respectively 3.36 and 2.97, p < 0.001) and on the 45–60th suckling day (BCS respectively 2.84 and 2.52, p < 0.001) compared with control ewes, but did not affect BCS of ewes at the end of the experiment (at weaning). Production traits (LBA, LBW, L100DW) nor ewes blood glycose and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations at the 130–140 days of pregnancy and 7–10 days after lambing were not affected by supplementation of oat to ewes' diet.

Στην παρούσα εργασία αναλύεται το ζήτημα της σύζευξης του χώρου εργασίας με τις διαδραστικές τεχνολογίες, καθώς υπάρχουν αρκετά πεδία στα οποία αυτές ασκούν δραστική επιρροή στη διαδικασία του σχεδιασμού. Αρχικά θα αναλυθεί η χωρική εμπειρία και πώς αυτή επιτυγχάνεται μέσω της αρχιτεκτονικής σύνθεσης. Στη συνέχεια, θα ερευνηθούν οι παράμετροι που συντελούν στην ανθρωποκεντρική προσέγγιση του σχεδιασμού στον εργασιακό χώρο, υπό το πρίσμα των διαδραστικών τεχνολογιών. Επιπλέον, γίνεται αξιολόγηση των υφιστάμενων χώρων εργασίας και ερευνάται ποιες είναι οι παράμετροι που καθιστούν λειτουργικό έναν εργασιακό χώρο, με στόχο αυτός να ικανοποιεί τις ανάγκες του προσωπικού. Ύστερα, θα προσδιοριστούν οι κατάλληλες συνθήκες εργασίας, με τις διαδραστικές τεχνολογίες και την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη να βρίσκονται στην υπηρεσία του ανθρώπου και των αναγκών του. Τέλος, κρίνεται ποια θα πρέπει να είναι τα νέα δεδομένα στο σχεδιασμό του χώρου εργασίας και επισυνάπτεται η ανάγκη για την εφεύρεση μίας νέας τυπολογίας στο χώρο εργασίας.

description: New technologies are an integral part of our daily life. In our days, when it comes to creating a realizable result, expertise plays an equally important role as creativity. We live in the age of continuous knowledge sharing, easy communication and artificial intelligence. This paper analyzes the issue of coupling the workplace with interactive technologies, as there are now several fields in which they exert a drastic influence on the design process. Initially, the spatial experience in architecture will be analysed within scientific frameworks. In next chapters the paper investigates the parameters that contribute to the human-centered approach to design in the workplace, in the light of interactive technologies. In addition, as part of the work, an evaluation of existing workplaces is carried out and the parameters that make a workplace functional are investigated in order to satisfy the needs of the staff. Moreover, the appropriate working conditions are defined, so that they are at the service of human, his needs and desires. In the final chapter this paper analyzes the new data in the design of the workplace and attaches need for the invention of a new typology in the workplace.

description: We propose a minimal tight-binding model for thin films made of topological crystalline insulator (TCI) on the basis of the mirror and discrete rotational symmetries. The basic term consists of the spin-orbit interaction describing a Weyl semimetal, where gapless Dirac cones emerge at all the high symmetry points in the momentum space. We then introduce the mass term providing gaps to Dirac cones at our disposal. They simulate the thin films made of the [001], [111] and [110] TCI surfaces. TCI thin films are topological insulators protected by the mirror symmetry. We analyze the mirror-Chern number, the edge modes and the conductance by breaking the mirror symmetry with the use of electric field. We propose a multi-digit topological field-effect transistor by applying electric field independently to the right and left edges of a nanoribbon. Our results will open a new way to topological electronics.

description: We observe the large enhancement in the dielectric response near the percolation threshold in a composite nanoparticle system consisting of metallic RuO$_2$ grains embedded into dielectric CaCu$_3$Ti$_4$O$_1$$_2$ (CCTO) matrix and annealed at 1100OC. To understand the nature of the dielectric response, we compare CCTO fabricated by two different techniques, solid state process (CCTO$_S$$_S$) and sol-gel process (CCTO$_S$$_G$) with the intrinsic dielectric constant in both cases found to be on the order of 10$^3$-10$^4$ at 10 kHz. For RuO$_2$/CCTO$_S$$_S$ and RuO$_2$/CCTO$_S$$_G$ composites and composites, an increase of the dielectric constant by factors of 7 and 5 respectively is observed in the vicinity of the percolation threshold of about 0.1, with moderate losses at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy indicate that the difference in the size of the effect may arise from the microstructure of the copper oxide enriched grain boundaries in the host CCTO.

description: A technique is presented to characterize the Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) of a representative link with a multiantenna linear Minimum-Mean-Square-Error receiver in a wireless network with transmitting nodes distributed according to a doubly stochastic process, which is a generalization of the Poisson point process. The cumulative distribution function of the SINR of the representative link is derived assuming independent Rayleigh fading between antennas. Several representative spatial node distributions are considered, including networks with both deterministic and random clusters, strip networks (used to model roadways, e.g.), hard-core networks and networks with generalized path-loss models. In addition, it is shown that if the number of antennas at the representative receiver is increased linearly with the nominal node density, the signal-to-interference ratio converges in distribution to a random variable that is non-zero in general, and a positive constant in certain cases. This result indicates that to the extent that the system assumptions hold, it is possible to scale such networks by increasing the number of receiver antennas linearly with the node density. The results presented here are useful in characterizing the performance of multiantenna wireless networks in more general network models than what is currently available.

description: ‘Strategic air power’ is an operating concept through which air power is arranged and directed to achieve objectives at the strategic level of warfare by exerting control over an adversary. At the end of the Cold War, utilising a new theory of strategic effect, the Desert Storm air campaign demonstrated its power and potential in practice. A question then emerges: how did the concept of strategic air power develop in the post-Cold War period and what factors accounted for its direction? Across five development phases from 1989-2015 this question was addressed from the experiences of six relevant states by determining the underlying process in action, common factors, and an explanatory model. It is based on comparative case study analyses of the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Israel and Australia and their development of strategic air power theories and capabilities, the influence of environmental and national factors, and practice. This thesis finds that a common process of concept development became evident following Desert Storm. This process repeated itself throughout the research period. It also finds that eight common factors shaped the direction of strategic air power. In the early research period, air power transformed in response to a reconceived battlefield and new technology and was reframed as a tool for conventional strategic effect. After Desert Storm precision weapons’ unique role in enabling strategic attack was recognised and applied in successive air campaigns. Development cycles were compressed and sensor-to-shooter timescales improved, creating new options and expectations for strategic effect. Their limits were exposed by adaptive adversaries and complexity, leading to a divergence of agreement in the concept’s direction and a shift in its place in defence thinking. Combined with political and operational demands, by the end of the research period structural limits emerged on the strategic effects that could be delivered in practice.

description: We study Higgs boson production in exclusive jet bins at possible future 33 and 100 TeV proton-proton colliders. We compare the cross sections obtained using fixed-order perturbation theory with those obtained by also resuming large logarithms induced by the jet-binning in the gluon-fusion and associated production channels. The central values obtained by the best-available fixed-order predictions differ by $10-20\%$ from those obtained after including resummation over the majority of phase-space regions considered. Additionally, including the resummation dramatically reduces the residual scale variation in these regions, often by a factor of two or more. We further show that in several new kinematic regimes that can be explored at these high-energy machines, the inclusion of resummation improvement is mandatory.

Higher cohomology of parabolic actions on certain homogeneous spaces

description: We show that for a parabolic R^d-action on a compact quotient of PSL(2,R)^d, the cohomologies in degrees 1 through d-1 trivialize, and we give the obstructions to solving the degree-d coboundary equation, along with bounds on Sobolev norms of primitives. In previous papers we have established these results for certain Anosov systems. The present work extends the methods of those papers to systems that are not Anosov. The main new idea is in Section 4, where we define special elements of representation spaces that allow us to modify the arguments from the previous papers. In Section 7 we discuss how one may generalize this strategy to R^d-systems coming from a product of Lie groups, like in the systems we have here.

description: As with the whole Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ), EU migration policy is one area of EU policy-making in which differentiated integration has found its clearest expression. Owing to its intergovernmental roots, differentiated governance has been considered the necessary compromise for a deeper integration in this policy field since the Amsterdam Treaty entered into force. The adoption of flexible mechanisms aimed to accommodate the political interests of some Member States. While many of the technical intricacies related to this special institutional set-up have now disappeared in the aftermath of Brexit, looking at the possible intersections between the recent migration and rule of law "crises" has brought to the fore a more serious form of disagreement between the Member States on the deeper values - or the possible absence thereof - with respect to EU migration policy. This has become especially clear in the way in which the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) seems to have adopted a disconnected approach in its case law relating, respectively, to the "rule of law crisis" and the "migration crisis" so far. This Article argues that beyond the fragmented scope of the EU migration policy caused by differentiation, lies a deeper "fracture" on the values that underpin it. In this sense, it invites for a more careful examination of what could become a widening gap by examining especially the relevant case law of the CJEU on asylum in the aftermath of the "migration crisis".
Invariants and Separating Morphisms for Algebraic Group Actions

description: The first part of this paper is a refinement of Winkelmann's work on invariant rings and quotients of algebraic groups actions on affine varieties, where we take a more geometric point of view. We show that the (algebraic) quotient $X/\!/\!G$ given by the possibly not finitely generated ring of invariants is "almost" an algebraic variety, and that the quotient morphism $π\colon X \to X/\!/\! G$ has a number of nice properties. One of the main difficulties comes from the fact that the quotient morphism is not necessarily surjective. These general results are then refined for actions of the additive group $\mathbb{G}_a$, where we can say much more. We get a rather explicit description of the so-called plinth variety and of the separating variety, which measures how much orbits are separated by invariants. The most complete results are obtained for representations. We also give a complete and detailed analysis of Roberts' famous example of a an action of $\mathbb{G}_a$ on 7-dimensional affine space with a non-finitely generated ring of invariants.

Electrokinetically-driven deterministic lateral displacement for particle separation in microfluidic devices

description: An electrokinetically-driven deterministic lateral displacement (e-DLD) device is proposed for the continuous, two-dimensional fractionation of suspensions in microfluidic platforms. The suspended species are driven through an array of regularly spaced cylindrical posts by applying an electric field across the device. We explore the entire range of orientations of the driving field with respect to the array of obstacles and show that, at specific forcing-angles, particles of different size migrate in different directions, thus enabling continuous, two-dimensional separation. We discuss a number of features observed in the kinetics of the particles, including directional locking and sharp transitions between migration angles upon variations in the direction of the force, that are advantageous for high-resolution two-dimensional separation. A simple model based on individual particle-obstacle interactions accurately describes the migration angle of the particles depending on the orientation of the driving field, and can be used to re-configure driving field depending on the composition of the samples.
Dynamical core polarization of two-active-electron systems in strong laser fields

description: The ionization of two-active-electron systems by intense laser fields is investigated theoretically. In comparison with time-dependent Hartree-Fock and exact two electron simulation, we show that the ionization rate is overestimated in SAE approximation. A modified single-active-electron model is formulated by taking into account of the dynamical core polarization. Applying the new approach to Ca atoms, it is found that the polarization of the core can be considered instantaneous and the large polarizability of the cation suppresses the ionization by 50% while the photoelectron cut-off energy increases slightly. The existed tunneling ionization formulation can be corrected analytically by considering core polarization.

Complex modes in unstable quadratic bosonic forms

description: We discuss the necessity of using non-standard boson operators for diagonalizing quadratic bosonic forms which are not positive definite and its convenience for describing the temporal evolution of the system. Such operators correspond to non-hermitian coordinates and momenta and are associated with complex frequencies. As application, we examine a bosonic version of a BCS-like pairing Hamiltonian, which, in contrast with the fermionic case, is stable just for limited values of the gap parameter and requires the use of the present extended treatment for a general diagonal representation. The dynamical stability of such forms and the occurrence of non-diagonalizable cases are also discussed.

description: We present a photometrical and morphological study of the properties of low redshift (z < 0.5) quasars based on a large and homogeneous dataset of objects derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (DR7). This study over number by a factor about 5 any other previous study of QSO host galaxies at low redshift undertaken either on ground or on space surveys. We used about 400 quasars that were imaged in the SDSS Stripe82 that is up to 2 mag deeper than standard Sloan images. For these quasars we undertake a study of the host galaxies and of their environments. In this paper we report the results for the quasar hosts. We are able to detect the host galaxy for more than 3/4 of the whole dataset and characterise the properties of their hosts. We found that QSO hosts are dominated by luminous galaxies of absolute magnitude M*-3 < M(R) < M*. For the unresolved objects we computed a upper limit to the host luminosity. For each well resolved quasar we are also able to characterise the morphology of the host galaxy that turn out to be more complex than what found in previous studies. QSO are hosted in a variety of galaxies from pure ellipticals to complex/composite morphologies that combine spheroids, disk, lens and halo. The black hole mass of the quasar, estimated from the spectral properties of the nuclei, are poorly correlated with the total luminosity of the host galaxy. However, taking into account only the bulge component we found a significant correlation between the BH mass and the bulge luminosity of the host.

description: The EU's decade-long rule of law crisis has normalized into an everyday constitutional and political experience. The lens of differentiated governance calls for a close inquiry into the legal and political dynamics - processes, incentive structures and inter-institutional conflicts - that are consequential for the future of the Union as a "community of values and of laws". Tracing the debate on financial sanctions (budgetary conditionality) in the broader context of the rule of law crisis, this Article argues that the future of Europe hinges on attributing practical, political and legal significance to the found-ing values set forth in art. 2 TEU. Without respect for these founding values differentiated governance as a set of political or legal practices and as an academic-intellectual project has no purpose or endpoint.

description: We carried out a fully non-adiabatic analysis for nonradial oscillations of pre-white dwarfs evolved from the post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) with hydrogen-dominated envelopes. It is shown that nuclear reactions in the hydrogen burning-shell excite low-degree g-modes in the period range of about 40-200 s for the pre-white dwarf models with Teff=40,000 K - 300,000 K. It is also shown that the amount of hydrogen {has} a significant influence on the instability domain of such pre-white dwarfs in the Hertzsprung-Russel (H-R) diagram. Thus, the thickness of hydrogen-dominated envelopes may be well constrained by observing the presence of the g-mode oscillations.
