description: We consider random quantum (tight-binding, XX and Ising) spin chains in the off-critical region and study their Griffiths-McCoy singularities. These are obtained from the density of states of the low-energy excitations, which is calculated exactly by the Dyson-Schmidt method. In large finite systems the low-energy excitations are shown to follow the statistics of extremes and their distribution is given by the Fréchet form. Relation between the Dyson-Schmidt technique and the strong disorder renormalization group method is also discussed.

description: Arctic stakeholders are faced with uncertainty as to the future development of social, political, economic, and environmental conditions, not least due to the ongoing transformations inflicted by climate change. In Blue-Action, the case study focusing on “Yamal 2040: Scenarios for the Russian Arctic” (CS5) has employed a specific co-design and engagement methodology to support stakeholders of one particular region in the Arctic, the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (YNAO) in Russia, to respond to this situation of general uncertainty, to develop forward-looking scenarios to better understand the risks and opportunities associated with future transformations in the Arctic. This methodology is the Foresight Exercise. The Foresight Exercise was conducted in the form of a series of three international workshops over 10 months between late 2017 and late 2018. The result thereof were three scenarios for the possible futures of the YNAO, which were co-designed by stakeholders participating in the workshops and representing environmental NGOs, indigenous peoples’ organisations, business, media, policy-makers, representatives of local communities, and scientists from the natural and social sciences. Results of the workshops were presented in the Blue-Action deliverables D5.20, D5.21, and D5.22 (accessible in https://zenodo.org/communities/blue-actionh2020). This present deliverable takes stock of the Foresight Exercise from the perspective of the stakeholder engagement methodology. While the scenarios constitute the main result with regards to content, a major aspect of this exercise is also the reflection on the applied Foresight Exercise in order to: put the scenarios into the context of their evolutionary history, ensure the that the results of the exercise are put into the right perspective and are used accordingly, and provide “lessons learned” for the future work of researchers and stakeholders concerned with supporting decision-making under conditions of stark uncertainty in the Arctic and beyond. This reflection is conducted with this deliverable, delivering both a quantitative (number of contacted stakeholders, participant group size, and distribution of stakeholder groups) and qualitative (challenges, weaknesses and strengths of the stakeholder engagement method, and success factors) analysis of the engagement of stakeholders during this information service case study.

description: Η διπλωματική μας εργασία με τίτλο «Η βαρύνουσα σημασία του λόγου στη διαμόρφωση εθνικιστικής συνείδησης» βασίζεται στη μετάφραση αγγλόφωνου κειμένου το οποίο περιέχει καταγραφές του Τύπου σχετικά με το ποδόσφαιρο και τον εθνικισμό. Μέσα από τη σχολιασμένη μετάφραση απαντάται το ερώτημα της επιρροής που ασκείται από τον Τύπο στην προώθηση εθνικιστικών συναισθημάτων αλλά και την ενίσχυση της φιλίας των λαών. Ακολούθησε καταγραφή των θετικών και αρνητικών όρων-φράσεων που περιέχονταν στο πρωτότυπο και κατ’επέκταση στο μετάφρασμα. Στη συνέχεια, η έρευνά μας επεκτάθηκε με την καταγραφή περαιτέρω φράσεων μέσα από διεθνή και εγχώρια βιβλιογραφία και αρθρογραφία προκειμένου να αποδοθεί μια σφαιρικότερη σκοπιά του θέματος. Με την έρευνά μας προσπαθήσαμε να απαντήσουμε και σε κάποια διαχρονικά κοινωνιολογικά θέματα που απασχόλησαν τη μετάφρασή μας, όπως αυτό του εθνικισμού και της ουσιοκρατίας. Επόμενο στάδιό μας αποτέλεσε ο σχολιασμός των μεταφραστικών επιλογών και η μεθοδολογία που ακολουθήθηκε, καθώς επίσης και ο σχολιασμός των μεταφραστικών δυσκολιών που συναντήσαμε κατά τη διάρκεια εκπόνησης της διπλωματικής μας εργασίας. Στο τελικό στάδιο συμπεριλάβαμε τα συμπεράσματα της έρευνάς μας, τον επίλογο-ευχαριστίες και τη βιβλιογραφία που συμβουλευτήκαμε. Το τελευταίο κομμάτι της εργασίας μας αποτελείται από τις σημειώσεις τέλους που αφορούν σχόλια σχετικά με το πρωτότυπο, το μετάφρασμα αλλά και άλλα κεφάλαια της εργασίας μας.
description: Our thesis entitled “The vital importance of discourse in shaping nationalistic conscience” is based on the translation of an English text which includes press reports regarding football and nationalism. Through the annotated translation the question of how the press affects people and promotes nationalistic and positive feelings as well is answered. Then, we compiled a table with the positive and negative terms-phrases that were incuded in the source-text and consequently in the target-text. Next, our research was extended by reporting further phrases written in foreign and Greek bibliography and articles in order for us to present a more comprehensive approach of the issue. With our research we tried to address some perennial issues related to Sociology such as nationalism and essentialism. We continued our thesis by commenting on our translating choices, the methodology we followed and the translating difficulties we came up against. In the final stage, we included our research findings, conclusion-acknowledgements and the bibliography we used. The last section of our thesis consists of the endnotes which refer to the source-text, target-text and other chapters of our thesis.

description: Airport particulate matter (PM) emissions are the known source of air pollution in the proximity of an airport. Often large airports are located near metropolises, and airport emissions may have a potentially considerable impact on public health in the surrounding urban areas. However, little is known about the sources that are relevant to air quality and health in the vicinity of airports. Therefore, the effect of the chemical composition of airport-related PM on adverse health risks was investigated in comparison to urban traffic emissions. PM0.25 were collected at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and at a central Los Angeles site (USC campus), along with PM2.5 collected directly from turbine and diesel engines. The chemical composition, oxidative potential (OP) of particles as well as the reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity, inflammatory potential (IL 6, IL 8 and TNF–α) release and cytotoxicity on human bronchial epithelial (16HBE) cells were assessed. Chemical composition measurements confirmed that aircraft emissions were the major source to LAX PM0.25, while the sources of USC samples were more complex, including traffic emissions, suspended road and soil dust, and secondary sulfate. The traffic-related transition metals (Fe and Cu) in LAX and USC samples mainly affected OP values of particles, while multiple factors such as compositions, size distribution and internalized amount of particles contributed to the promotion of ROS generation in 16HBE cells during 4 h exposure. Internalized particles in cells might also play an important role in activating inflammatory responses during 20 h recovery period, with LAX particles being more potent. Our results demonstrate considerable toxicity of airport-related particles, even at low exposure concentrations, which suggests that airport emission as source of PM0.25 may also contribute to the adverse effects on public health attributable to PM.

description: We investigate the coupling of a single molecule to a single spherical gold nanoparticle acting as a nano-antenna. Using scanning probe technology, we position the particle in front of the molecule with nanometer accuracy and measure a strong enhancement of more than 20 times in the fluorescence intensity simultaneous to a 20-fold shortening of the excited state lifetime. Direct comparison with three-dimensional calculations allow us to decipher the contributions of the excitation enhancement, spontaneous emission modification, and quenching. Furthermore, we provide direct evidence for the role of the particle plasmon resonance in the modification of the molecular emission.

description: Sequence-to-sequence models have lead to significant progress in keyphrase generation, but it remains unknown whether they are reliable enough to be beneficial for document retrieval. This study provides empirical evidence that such models can significantly improve retrieval performance, and introduces a new extrinsic evaluation framework that allows for a better understanding of the limitations of keyphrase generation models. Using this framework, we point out and discuss the difficulties encountered with supplementing documents with -- not present in text -- keyphrases, and generalizing models across domains.

The cognitively-impaired institutionalized elderly: spousal perceptions and expectations of nursing care
Creators: name: Fong, Susan T. S.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the spouses' perceptions and expectations of nursing care delivered to their cognitively-impaired institutionalized elderly mate. Data were collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire, based on the concept of caring, designed to elicit spouses' perceptions and expectations of certain identified nursing care activities. These nursing careactivities pertain to the Instrumental, Expressive, and Communicative components of a Total Transactional System, the conceptual framework. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in the form of a central tendency analysis and a multivariate approach using profile analysis. Results demonstrated that there was a difference between the spouses' perceptions and expectations. There was a statistically significant difference between the spouses' perceptions and expectations in that the perceptions were less than the expectations. Specifically, in the provision of physical care, the spouses' perceptions were below their expectations. In addition, nursing staff did not consistently achieve the goal of meeting the communicative and emotional needs of residents as perceived by their spouses. The conclusions support the need for nurses to consider improvements in nursing care through nursing research, specifically, in ascertaining the quality of care concept in this context. Through education, the impact of cognitive impairment as a chronic illness on the elderly person and his/her family could be better understood. Through practice, an improvement in the manner of physical and psychological care delivery could be realized. Finally, through administration, an examination of the structures supporting the delivery of nursing care to the cognitively-impaired elderly could lend motivation and assistance to the nurses responsible for care at the bedside.

By studying the exact time evolution of singlet and triplet states we show how the degree of both filtering and spin entanglement can be tuned using a time-dependent gate voltage.

description: The Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies are difficult to measure at large angular scales. In this paper, we present a new analysis of the \Planck\ High Frequency Instrument data that brings the cosmological part and its major foreground signal close to the detector noise. The solar dipole signal, induced by the motion of the solar system with respect to the CMB, is a very efficient tool to calibrate a detector or a set of detectors with high accuracy. In this work, the solar dipole signal is used to extract corrections of the frequency maps offsets reducing significantly uncertainties. The solar dipole parameters are refined together with the improvement of the high frequency foregrounds, and of the CMB large scales cosmological anisotropies. The stability of the solar dipole parameters is a powerful way to control the galactic foregrounds removal in the component separation process. It is used to build a model for Spectral Energy Distribution spatial variations of the interstellar dust emission. The knowledge of these variations will help future CMB analyses in intensity, and also in polarization to measure faint signal related to the optical reionization depth and the tensor-to-scalar ratio of the primordial anisotropies. The results of this work are: improved solar dipole parameters, a new interstellar dust model, and a large scale cosmological anisotropies map.

description: The subject of this thesis and its main objective is to present the procedure of Strategic Environmental Assessment, which was introduced in Community law by the Directive 2001/42/EC. Later the SEA Directive was implemented in Greek law by Joint Decision of Ministers in 2006 (JDM 107017/2006).The aim is also to analyze the (adequate or not) application of SEA in Greece during the implementation of major plans and programs, both in national and European legislation and jurisprudence, as established by the Council of State and the ECJ.Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is the process by which environmental considerations are required to be fully integrated into the preparation of Plans and Programmes and prior to their final adoption. The objectives of the SEA process are to provide for a high level of protection of the environment and to promote sustainable development by contributing to the integration of environmental considerations into the preparation and adoption of specified Plans and Programs.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής είναι η εξέταση της ανόδου και της επιρροής του νεοναζιστικού φαινομένου στη Ελλάδα την περίοδο της οικονομικής κρίσης. Συγκεκριμένα, προσπαθήσαμε να αναζητήσουμε τους λόγους για τους οποίους το κόμμα της Χρυσής Αυγής κατόρθωσε να αποκτήσει σημαντικά εκλογικά ποσοστά σε όλες τις εκλογικές αναμετρήσεις από το 2012 και μετά. Ακόμα περισσότερο, να εξετάσουμε τους λόγους για τους οποίους διατηρεί ισχυρή επιρροή στο κοινωνικό σώμα ενάντια σε όλες τις αισιόδοξες προβλέψεις της κοινωνικής και πολιτικής θεωρίας. Η προσέγγισή μας βασίστηκε στο θεωρητικό σώμα το οποίο προέκυψε από τις σύγχρονες επεξεργασίες της λακανικής ψυχανάλυσης και προσπαθεί να διερευνήσει το συμβολικό περιβάλλον μέσα στο οποίο ο νεοναζιστικός λόγος αγκιστρώνει τα νοήματά του. Ταυτόχρονα όμως επιδιώκουμε μια εστίαση στις συναισθηματικές και σωματικές διαστάσεις τις οποίες οργανώνει ο νεοναζιστικός λόγος προσπαθώντας να διατηρήσει ισχυρή την ταυτότητα των πολιτικών υποκειμένων του. Δίνεται μια εκτίμηση για τον τρόπο με τον οποίο η νεοναζιστική ταυτότητα έρχεται ως απάντηση στην διαταραχή των ταυτοτήτων που προέκυψε από την κοινωνική και οικονομική κρίση των τελευταίων ετών. Διαπιστώνουμε έτσι πως η ανθεκτικότητα της νεοναζιστικής ταυτότητας είναι το αποτέλεσμα της εκμετάλλευσης ενός συμβολικού υλικού το οποίο είναι ευρέως διαθέσιμο στην ελληνική κοινωνία σε συνδυασμό με την επιτυχημένη διαχείριση των συναισθηματικών και των σωματικών διαστάσεων των πολιτικών υποκειμένων του νεοναζιστικού λόγου.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the rise and the influence of the neo-Nazi phenomenon in Greece in times of crisis. Specifically, we try to look for the reasons that the Golden Dawn party was able to gain significant results at all polls since 2012. Even more, we try to examine the reasons for the strong and persistent influence in the Greek society, against all the optimistic anticipations of social and political theory. Our approach was based to the theoretical body of modern elaborations of Lacanian psychoanalysis and tries to examine the symbolic frame in which the neo-Nazi discourse anchors its meaning. At the same time we seek to focus to the affective and bodily dimensions which are organized by the neo-Nazi discourse in order to sustain its powerful influence over its political subjects. We offer estimation about the way the neo-Nazi identity comes in response to the disarrangement of identities at the time of social and economical crisis of the last years. We can see then that the durability of Neo-Nazi identity comes as a result of the exploitation of a symbolic material which is available in Greek society combined with successful management of the affective and bodily dimensions of its political subjects.

description: When an entangled state evolves under local unitaries, the entanglement in the state remains fixed. Here we show the dynamical phase acquired by an entangled state in such a scenario can always be understood as the sum of the dynamical phases of its subsystems. In contrast, the equivalent statement for the geometric phase is not generally true unless the state is separable. For an entangled state an additional term is present, the mutual geometric phase, that measures the change the additional correlations present in the entangled state make to the geometry of the state space. For $N$ qubit states we find this change can be explained solely by classical correlations for states with a Schmidt decomposition and solely by quantum correlations for W states.

description: We present a novel method for estimation of 3D human poses from a multi-camera setup, employing distributed smart edge sensors coupled with a backend through a semantic feedback loop. 2D joint detection for each camera view is performed locally on a dedicated embedded inference processor. Only the semantic skeleton representation is transmitted over the network and raw images remain on the sensor board. 3D poses are recovered from 2D joints on a central backend, based on triangulation and a body model which incorporates prior knowledge of the human skeleton. A feedback channel from backend to individual sensors is implemented on a semantic level. The allocentric 3D pose is backprojected into the sensor views where it is fused with 2D joint detections. The local semantic model on each sensor can thus be improved by incorporating global context information. The whole pipeline is capable of real-time operation. We evaluate our method on three public datasets, where we achieve state-of-the-art results and show the benefits of our feedback architecture, as well as in our own setup for multi-person experiments. Using the feedback signal improves the 2D joint detections and in turn the estimated 3D poses.

description: We show how to couple two critical Q-state Potts models to yield a new self-dual critical point. We also present strong evidence of a dense critical phase near this critical point when the Potts models are defined in their completely packed loop representations. In the continuum limit, the new critical point is described by an SU(2) coset conformal field theory, while in this limit of the the critical phase, the two loop models decouple. Using a combination of exact results and numerics, we also obtain the phase diagram in the presence of vacancies. We generalize these results to coupling two Potts models at different Q.

description: We recalculate the beta functions of higher derivative gravity in four dimensions using the one--loop approximation to an Exact Renormalization Group Equation. We reproduce the beta functions of the dimensionless couplings that were known in the literature but we find new terms for the beta functions of Newton's constant and of the cosmological constant. As a result, the theory appears to be asymptotically safe at a non--Gaussian Fixed Point, rather than perturbatively renormalizable and asymptotically free.

description: We present an analytical treatment of gravitational lensing by a Kerr black hole in the weak deflection limit. Lightlike geodesics are expanded as a Taylor series up to and including third-order terms in m/b and a/b, where m is the black hole mass, a the angular momentum and b the impact parameter of the light ray. Positions and magnifications of individual images are computed with a perturbative analysis. At this order, the degeneracy with the translated Schwarzschild lens is broken. The critical curve is still a circle displaced from the black hole position in the equatorial direction and the corresponding caustic is point-like. The degeneracy between the black hole spin and its inclination relative to the observer is broken through the angular coordinates of the perturbed images.

description: Trapped beneath the Antarctic ice sheet lie over 400 subglacial lakes, which are considered to be extreme, isolated, yet viable habitats for microbial life. The physical conditions within subglacial lakes are critical to evaluating how and where life may best exist. Here, we propose that Earth's geothermal flux provides efficient stirring of Antarctic subglacial lake water. We demonstrate that most lakes are in a regime of vigorous turbulent vertical convection, enabling suspension of spherical particulates with diameters up to 36 micrometers. Thus, dynamic conditions support efficient mixing of nutrient- and oxygen-enriched meltwater derived from the overlying ice, which is essential for biome support within the water column. We caution that accreted ice analysis cannot always be used as a proxy for water sampling of lakes beneath a thin (<3.166 kilometers) ice cover, because a stable layer isolates the well-mixed bulk water from the ice-water interface where freezing may occur.

description: In their recent paper, Chan and Lee discuss an interesting possibility: radio continuum emission from a dwarf irregular galaxy may be used to constrain upper limits on the cross section of annihilating dark matter. They claim that the contributions from nonthermal and thermal emission can be estimated with such accuracy that one can place new upper limits on the annihilation cross section. We argue that the observations presented can be explained entirely with a standard spectrum and no contribution from dark matter. As a result, the estimated upper limits of Chan and Lee are atleast by a factor of 100 too low.

description: Scaling up to a large number of qubits with high-precision control is essential in the demonstrations of quantum computational advantage to exponentially outpace the classical hardware and algorithmic improvements. Here, we develop a two-dimensional programmable superconducting quantum processor, \textit{Zuchongzhi}, which is composed of 66 functional qubits in a tunable coupling architecture. To characterize the performance of the whole system, we perform random quantum circuits sampling for benchmarking, up to a system size of 56 qubits and 20 cycles. The computational cost of the classical simulation of this task is estimated to be 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than the previous work on 53-qubit Sycamore processor [Nature \textbf{574}, 505 (2019)]. We estimate that the sampling task finished by \textit{Zuchongzhi} in about 1.2 hours will take the most powerful supercomputer at least 8 years. Our work establishes an unambiguous quantum computational advantage that is infeasible for classical computation in a reasonable amount of time. The high-precision and programmable quantum computing platform opens a new door to explore novel many-body phenomena and implement complex quantum algorithms.
Coherent control in a decoherence-free subspace of a collective multi-level system

description: Decoherence-free subspaces (DFS) in systems of dipole-dipole interacting multi-level atoms are investigated theoretically. It is shown that the collective state space of two dipole-dipole interacting four-level atoms contains a four-dimensional DFS. We describe a method that allows to populate the antisymmetric states of the DFS by means of a laser field, without the need of a field gradient between the two atoms. We identify these antisymmetric states as long-lived entangled states. Further, we show that any single-qubit operation between two states of the DFS can be induced by means of a microwave field. Typical operation times of these qubit rotations can be significantly shorter than for a nuclear spin system.

Modeling Spacing Distribution of Queuing Vehicles in Front of a Signalized Junction Using Random-Matrix Theory

description: Modeling of headway/spacing between two consecutive vehicles has many applications in traffic flow theory and transport practice. Most known approaches only study the vehicles running on freeways. In this paper, we propose a model to explain the spacing distribution of queuing vehicles in front of a signalized junction based on random-matrix theory. We show that the recently measured spacing distribution data well fit the spacing distribution of a Gaussian symplectic ensemble (GSE). These results are also compared with the spacing distribution observed for car parking problem. Why vehicle-stationary-queuing and vehicle-parking have different spacing distributions (GSE vs GUE) seems to lie in the difference of driving patterns.
Collective mode of homogeneous superfluid Fermi gases in the BEC-BCS crossover

description: We perform a detailed study of the collective mode across the whole BEC-BCS crossover in fermionic gases at zero temperature, covering the whole range of energy beyond the linear regime. This is done on the basis of the dynamical BCS model. We recover first the results of the linear regime in a simple form. Then specific attention is payed to the non linear part of the dispersion relation and its interplay with the continuum of single fermionic excitations. In particular we consider in detail the merging of collective mode into the continuum of single fermionic excitations. This occurs not only on the BCS side of the crossover, but also slightly beyond unitarity on the BEC side. Another remarkable feature is the very linear behaviour of the dispersion relation in the vicinity of unitarity almost up to merging with the continuum. Finally, while on the BEC side the mode is quite analogous to the Bogoliubov mode, a difference appear at high wavevectors. On the basis of our results we determine the Landau critical velocity in the BEC-BCS crossover which is found to be largest close to unitarity. Our investigation has revealed interesting qualitative features which would deserve experimental exploration as well as further theoretical studies by more sophisticated means.

description: Πολλά παιδιά παρουσιάζουν ήδη από την πρώιμη σχολική ηλικία μειωμένο κινητικό συντονισμό, γεγονός που επηρεάζει αρνητικά τις γραφοκινητικές τους δεξιότητες. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η σύγκριση παιδιών πρώιμης σχολικής ηλικίας με και χωρίς κινητικές δυσκολίες, μέσω της κλίμακας ΚΑΓΔ 4-6, αναφορικά με τέσσερις υποκατηγορίες: έλεγχος χεριού κατά τη γραφή, γνώση εννοιών χώρου, προσανατολισμός γραφικού χώρου κι αναπαραγωγή σχημάτων. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν συνολικά 121 παιδιά, τα οποία αρχικά αξιολογήθηκαν για το επίπεδο του κινητικού τους συντονισμού με την κινητική δοκιμασία MABC-2. Από την περιγραφική στατιστική προέκυψε πως 27.5% των παιδιών παρουσίασαν κινητικές δυσκολίες, μέτριες έως σοβαρές. Επιλέχθηκαν τυχαία 13 παιδιά με κινητικές δυσκολίες, τα οποία αποτέλεσαν την πρώτη ομάδα και 14 παιδιά χωρίς κινητικές δυσκολίες, που αποτέλεσαν τη δεύτερη ομάδα κι αξιολογήθηκαν με την κλίμακα ΚΑΓΔ 4-6. Μέσα από τη στατιστική ανάλυση t-test για ανεξάρτητα δείγματα βρέθηκε πως υπάρχουν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ των ομάδων αναφορικά με την αναπαραγωγή σχημάτων και τον έλεγχο χεριού κατά τη γραφή (p < .05), ενώ από την άλλη, δε βρέθηκαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές ως προς τη γνώση εννοιών χώρου και τον προσανατολισμό του γραφικού χώρου. Συμπερασματικά, προκύπτει ότι οι κινητικές δυσκολίες επηρεάζουν αρνητικά τις γραφοκινητικές δεξιότητες κι επομένως κρίνεται απαραίτητη η έγκαιρη κινητική αξιολόγηση με στόχο την εφαρμογή κατάλληλων παρεμβατικών προγραμμάτων για τη βελτίωση τους.
description: Many children display already from early school age diminished motor coordination, which negatively affects their handwriting skills. The purpose of the present research was to compare early school age children with and without movement difficulties, using KAGD 4-6, relating to four sub-categories: hand control during writing, knowledge of space concepts, orientation of writing space and reproduction of shapes. A total number of 121 children, were assessed by the MABC-2 testing process in order to determine the level of motor coordination. Descriptive statistics showed 27.5% of children had moderate to severe movement difficulties. There was a random selection of 13 children with dcd, who formed the first group, and an other one of 14 children without dcd, who formed the other group and were evaluated with KAGD 4-6. The statistical analysis of t-test for independent samples showed statistically significant differences between groups relating to the reproduction of shapes and hand control during writing (p

description: We non-perturbatively analyze the effect of electron-electron interactions on weak localization (WL) in relatively short metallic conductors with a tunnel barrier. We demonstrate that the main effect of interactions is electron dephasing which persists down to T=0 and yields suppression of WL correction to conductance below its non-interacting value. Our results may account for recent observations of low temperature saturation of the electron decoherence time in quantum dots.
