description: Στην παρούσα έρευνα εξετάζεται η πορεία της εξωτερικής πολιτικής της Γιουγκοσλαβίας κατά τη διάρκεια του Ψυχρού Πολέμου, αλλά και η ιδιαίτερη θέση που είχε στο συγκεκριμένο πλαίσιο, με έμφαση στον ρόλο της στο Κίνημα των Αδέσμευτων Χωρών. Η ανάλυση επικεντρώνεται σε συγκεκριμένα κεφάλαια της ιστορίας, περιλαμβάνοντας έτσι μια ανασκόπηση της θέσης της Γιουγκοσλαβίας μετά τον Β' Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο, τη δημιουργία του Κινήματος των Αδέσμευτων, και τον ρόλο του προέδρου Γιόσιπ Μπρόζ Τίτο στη διαμόρφωση και εξέλιξη του Κινήματος έως το 1980. Το κυριότερο βάρος της επιχειρηματολογίας βρίσκεται στις Συνόδους Κορυφής των Αδέσμευτων οι οποίες είχαν άμεση σχέση με τις επιλογές στην εξωτερική πολιτική της Γιουγκοσλαβίας σε συνάρτηση πολλές φορές, μάλιστα, με τις διεθνείς εξελίξεις και τις συνθήκες που χαρακτήριζαν κατά καιρούς τη συνύπαρξη της με την ΕΣΣΔ και τις ΗΠΑ αντίστοιχα. Σε αυτή την κατεύθυνση, γίνεται χρήση κυρίως δευτερογενών βιβλιογραφικών πηγών, και σε μικρότερη κλίμακα πρωτογενών, στην προσπάθεια της ανάδειξης του ρόλο του Τίτο και τη σημασία που κατείχε η παρουσία και δραστηριοποίηση της Γιουγκοσλαβίας στο πλαίσιο του Κινήματος των Αδέσμευτων.
description: The present research examines the course of Yugoslavia's foreign policy during the Cold War and its position in this respective timeline, with emphasis on its role in the Non-Aligned Movement. The analysis focuses on specific chapters of history, thus including a review of Yugoslavia's position after World War II, the creation of the Non-Aligned Movement, and the role of President Josep Broz Tito in the formation and development of the Movement up to 1980. The focus of the argument is directed at the Non-Aligned Summits, which were directly corelated to the choices in Yugoslavia's foreign policy, often, indeed, in relation to international developments and the conditions that characterized its coexistence with the USSR and the USA, respectively. In this direction, use is made of mainly secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, primary sources to highlight the role of Tito and the importance of Yugoslavia's presence and activity within the Non-Aligned Movement.

Formal Integrals and Noether Operators of Nonlinear Hyperbolic Partial Differential Systems Admitting a Rich Set of Symmetries

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)
subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper is devoted to hyperbolic (generally speaking, non-Lagrangian and nonlinear) partial differential systems possessing a full set of differential operators that map any function of one independent variable into a symmetry of the corresponding system. We demonstrate that a system has the above property if and only if this system admits a full set of formal integrals (i.e., differential operators which map symmetries into integrals of the system). As a consequence, such systems possess both direct and inverse Noether operators (in the terminology of a work by B. Fuchssteiner and A.S. Fokas who have used these terms for operators that map cosymmetries into symmetries and perform transformations in the opposite direction). Systems admitting Noether operators are not exhausted by Euler-Lagrange systems and the systems with formal integrals. In particular, a hyperbolic system admits an inverse Noether operator if a differential substitution maps this system into a system possessing an inverse Noether operator.

Sorption-Desorption of Diuron in Subsurface Systems: An Investigation of Desorption Hysteresis
Creators: name: Chang, Shiou-Ling J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: Sorption-desorption of diuron to a subsurface material was investigated by a variety of batch reactor experiments. The time needed to reach sorption equihbrium was longer than 45 days, while desorption equilibrium was apparently approached within 7 days. Nonlinear sorption-desorption equilibrium and desorption hysteresis were observed. The Freundlich equation was found to describe sorption-desorption equilibria best, with a Freundlich sorption exponent of 0.66, and an average desorption exponent of 0.23. Complex pattern sorption-desorption experiments were performed. The results of these experiments showed that the sorption-desorption process may be described by a Freundlich model: sorption exponent, desorption exponent, and sorption capacity constant, and the maximum equilibrium value achieved. Several possible explanations to describe the observed hysteresis were investigated. Nonattainment of equilibrium, loss of solute, artifact of the experimental methods, sorption to nonsettling particles, centrifugation effects, accumulated measurement error, and presence of an implicit-sorbate were found not to be the major cause of desorption hysteresis. A two-site model was developed to describe the sorption and desorption rates. This model assumes that two types of reaction sites exist on the solid-phase—fast and slow sites. The fast-sites sorb solute rapidly inducing an instantaneous equilibrium. The slow-sites are simulated by a first order mass transfer model. The two-site model provided a reasonable fit of the observed data.

description: Reduced individuation of other-ethnicity faces (outgroup homogeneity effect) results from overlapping neural representations due to low perceptual expertise. While established expertise for own-ethnicity faces leads to distinct neural representations and therefore lower repetition suppression between consecutive perceptions of different faces than of the same face, this distinction was shown to be absent with other-ethnicity faces. Here we attempt to replicate this result for the N170 repetition suppression. Additionally, to study psychological consequences, we ask if reduced individuation on a perceptual and neural level leads to the generalization of associations over members of a different ethnicity. Specifically, we investigate if the threat association of a single other-ethnicity identity results in pronounced LPP amplitudes elicited by different other-ethnicity faces not associated with threat.
Extended slow dynamical regime close to the many-body localization transition

description: Many-body localization is characterized by a slow logarithmic growth of the entanglement entropy after a global quantum quench while the local memory of an initial density imbalance remains at infinite time. We investigate how much the proximity of a many-body localized phase can influence the dynamics in the delocalized ergodic regime where thermalization is expected. Using an exact Krylov space technique, the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the random-field Heisenberg chain is studied up to $L=28$ sites, starting from an initially unentangled high-energy product state. Within most of the delocalized phase, we find a sub-ballistic entanglement growth $S(t)\propto t^{1/z}$ with a disorder-dependent exponent $z\ge1$, in contrast with the pure ballistic growth $z=1$ of clean systems. At the same time, anomalous relaxation is also observed for the spin imbalance ${\cal{I}}(t)\propto t^{-ζ}$ with a continuously varying disorder-dependent exponent $ζ$, vanishing at the transition. This provides a clear experimental signature for detecting this non-conventional regime.

description: The study aims at detecting the relationship between risk perception, state anxiety, the fear of COVID-19, the perceived response efficacy of individual protective measures and their realization during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Germany. In view of possible implications for the communication with the population, the following questions shall be answered. Is it possible to replicate the finding of a partial mediation of the relation between risk perception and the execution of safety measures by state anxiety, as it was found in Italy (Rubaltelli et al., 2020)? Does the specific fear of COVID-19 qualify as a more suitable predictor of protective behaviour than state anxiety? And, to what extent does the perceived response efficacy regarding the protective behaviour influence the effect of state anxiety/fear of COVID-19 on protective behaviour?
Equilibrium states and zero temperature limit on topologically transitive countable Markov shifts

description: Consider a topologically transitive countable Markov shift and, let $f$ be a summable potential with bounded variation and finite Gurevic pressure. We prove that there exists an equilibrium state $μ_{tf}$ for each $t > 1$ and that there exists accumulation points for the family $(μ_{tf})_{t>1}$ as $t \to \infty$. We also prove that the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is continuous at $\infty$ with respect to the parameter $t$, that is $\lim_{t \to \infty} h(μ_{tf})=h(μ_{\infty})$, where $μ_{\infty}$ is an accumulation point of the family $(μ_{tf})_{t>1}$. These results do not depend on the existence of Gibbs measures and, therefore, they extend results of \cite{MaUr01} and \cite{Sar99} for the existence of equilibrium states without the BIP property, \cite{JMU05} for the existence of accumulation points in this case and, finally, we extend completely the result of \cite{Mor07} for the entropy zero temperature limit beyond the finitely primitive case.

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: In this paper, we relate the framework of mod-$ϕ$ convergence to the construction of approximation schemes for lattice-distributed random variables. The point of view taken here is that of Fourier analysis in the Wiener algebra, allowing the computation of asymptotic equivalents in the local, Kolmogorov and total variation distances. By using signed measures instead of probability measures, we are able to construct better approximations of discrete lattice distributions than the standard Poisson approximation. This theory applies to various examples arising from combinatorics and number theory: number of cycles in (possibly coloured) permutations, number of prime divisors (possibly within different residue classes) of a random integer, number of irreducible factors of a random polynomial, etc. One advantage of the approach developed in this paper is that it allows us to deal with approximations in higher dimensions as well. In this setting, we can explicitly see the influence of the correlations between the components of the random vectors in our asymptotic formulas.

Variability and Speciation of Halogenated Disinfection By-Products in Chloraminated Drinking Waters and Their Regulatory Implications
Creators: name: Biddle, Lisa Ann
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: Temporal and spatial variability has been examined in the speciation and concentration of disinfection by-products (DBFs) at two drinking water treatment plants practicing chloramination in the United States. This work was part of an epidemiological study in which a specific suspected reproductive health effect of these DBFs was being characterized. Comparative analysis has been conducted to evaluate the weekly variability in concentration and speciation of halogenated DBFs at the two sites (Site 1 and Site 3), specifically for four trihalomethanes (THM4), nine haloacetic acids (HAA9), and total organic halide (TOX). A third water (Site 2), with low levels of all DBFs, was used as a control for the health impacts component of the study. The spatial and temporal variability in the DBF levels in these waters were also examined through several short-term intensive sampling events. The total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations are similar at Site 1 and 3, averaging between 5-8 mg/L and the total THM4 and HAA9 concentrations are also similar at the two sites. The average of 52 weekly THM4 measurements taken in 2003 was 62.4 μg/L at Site 1 and 58.3 μg/L at Site 3; the average HAA9 concentration for 2003 was 49.0 μg/L at Site 1 and 46.0 μg/L at Site3. However, the two plants treat surface waters with sufficiently different bromide concentrations to significantly impact DBF speciation. The source water at Site 1 exhibits very low bromide concentrations near the limit of practical quantitation (20-30 μg/L) and produces mostly chlorine-substituted DBFs while at Site 3 the source water has higher concentrations of bromide (150-400 μ/L) and more highly bromine-substituted DBFs are produced. This difference is apparent in the bromine incorporation factors (BIFs), a measure of the amount of bromine being incorporated into a DBP group, at these two sites. The average THM4 BIF at Site 1 is 0.3 while at Site 3 it is approximately four times larger at 1.3, indicating the influence of source water bromide concentrationon DBP speciation. Regulation of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) in drinking water is currently approached as a group measurement, THM4 and HAAS, where HAAS is a subset of HAA9 that does not include four of the bromine-containing HAAs. It is suspected that the health risks associated with individual DBP species vary, and that the brominated by-products may be associated with more negative health impacts than the chlorinated species. Therefore, the current summation-based regulatory approach may not accurately reflect or protect against THM and HAA exposure to consumers. This report addresses these regulatory weaknesses and provides suggestions for alternative means of monitoring THMs and HAAs in drinking waters.

description: We define the Toledo invariant of a G-Higgs bundle on a Riemann surface, where G is a real semisimple group of Hermitian type, and we prove a Milnor-Wood type bound for this invariant when the bundle is semistable. We prove rigidity results when the Toledo invariant is maximal, establishing in particular a Cayley correspondence when the symmetric space defined by G is of tube type. This gives a new proof of the Milnor-Wood inequality of Burger-Iozzi-Wienhard for representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface into G. Compared to previous results using Higgs bundles, it uses general theory and avoids any case by case study.

Passive scalar mixing and decay at finite correlation times in the Batchelor regime

description: An elegant model for passive scalar mixing was given by Kraichnan assuming the velocity to be delta-correlated in time. We generalize this model to include the effects of a finite correlation time, $τ$, using renewing flows. The resulting equation for the 3-D passive scalar spectrum $\hat{M}(k,t)$ or its correlation function $M(r,t)$, gives the Kraichnan equation when $τ\to 0$, and extends it to the next order in $τ$. It involves third and fourth order derivatives of $M$ or $\hat{M}$ (in the high $k$ limit). For small-$τ$, it can be recast using the Landau-Lifshitz approach, to one with at most second derivatives of $\hat{M}$. We present both a scaling solution to this equation neglecting diffusion and a more exact solution including diffusive effects. We show that the steady state 1-D passive scalar spectrum, preserves the Batchelor form, $E_θ(k) \propto k^{-1}$, in the viscous-convective limit, independent of $τ$. This result can also be obtained in a general manner using Lagrangian methods. Interestingly, in the absence of sources, when passive scalar fluctuations decay, we show that the spectrum in the Batchelor regime and at late times, is of the form $E_θ(k) \propto k^{1/2}$ and also independent of $τ$. More generally, finite $τ$ does not qualitatively change the shape of the spectrum during decay, although the decay rate is reduced. From high resolution ($1024^3$) direct numerical simulations of passive scalar mixing and decay, We find reasonable agreement with predictions of the Batchelor spectrum, during steady state. The scalar spectrum during decay agrees qualitatively with analytic predictions when power is dominantly in wavenumbers corresponding to the Batchelor regime, but is however shallower when box scale fluctuations dominate during decay (abridged).

Investigation of the Metabolism of 3-Nitro[14C] fluoranthene in vivo in the Rat
Creators: name: Inhof, Christina J.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: The metabolism of the environmental pollutant, weak carcinogen and potent bacterial mutagen, 3-nitrofluoranthene (3-NFA), has been investigated in the Sprague-Dawley rat. Roughly 30% of an i.p. administered dose (10 mg/kg) labelled with [14]C was recovered on the peritoneal wall and inside the peritoneal cavity. Over half of the absorbed dose was recovered in the feces while only 17% of the absorbed dose was eliminated in the urine. The 8-24 hour urinary metabolites of 3-NFA were digested with beta-glucuronidase and sulfatase enzymes, concentrated on C18 Sep-Paks, and analyzed on a reverse-phase HPLC system. Three metabolites were isolated by HPLC and analyzed by proton NMR. The metabolites were tentatively identified as4,8-dihydroxy-3-aminofluoranthene, 4,9-dihydroxy-3-aminofluoranthene, and 4,8,9-trihydroxy-3-aminofluoranthene. These findings indicate extensive oxidative metabolism of the aromatic ring and reduction of the nitro group, and offer a comparison to the well characterized. In vivo metabolism of 1-nitropyrene (1-NP) for which 6-hydroxy-1-acetamidopyrene, a mutagenic compound, was the major metabolite in the 8-24 hour urine. The acetylation pathway observed for 1-NP does not appear to represent a common pathway for the metabolism of 3-NFA and 1-NP suggesting different mechanisms of genotoxicity for these two compounds.

description: Dynamical systems are frequently used to model biological systems. When these models are fit to data it is necessary to ascertain the uncertainty in the model fit. Here we present prediction deviation, a new metric of uncertainty that determines the extent to which observed data have constrained the model's predictions. This is accomplished by solving an optimization problem that searches for a pair of models that each provide a good fit for the observed data, yet have maximally different predictions. We develop a method for estimating a priori the impact that additional experiments would have on the prediction deviation, allowing the experimenter to design a set of experiments that would most reduce uncertainty. We use prediction deviation to assess uncertainty in a model of interferon-alpha inhibition of viral infection, and to select a sequence of experiments that reduces this uncertainty. Finally we prove a theoretical result which shows that prediction deviation provides bounds on the trajectories of the underlying true model. These results show that prediction deviation is a meaningful metric of uncertainty that can be used for optimal experimental design.
Evaluation of an Acoustical Particle Sizing Device as a Counting Device for Particles with Diameters Below 5 μm
Creators: name: Chua, Manuel S.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1986

description: The particle counts of the Acoustical Particle Sizing Device (APSD) developed by Coover in 1978 was compared with that of the Climet 208 Optical Particle Analyzer (OPA) and the Gardner Condensation Nuclei Counter (CNC). The OPA was used as the reference machine in counting lycopodium spores using three different set-ups, as well as polystyrene latex spheres (PSL) of different diameters and concentration levels. The CNC was used as the standard in counting particles from cigarette smoke, magnesium strip fumes and the reaction of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) pellets and nitric acid. The mean difference in the number of particles per liter counted by both machines was computed for every trial, and the statistical significance was tested; the correlation coefficient was also determined. Results indicate the inability of the APSD to count particles with diameters below 5 μm.

description: The increase in global energy demand and raised environmental concerns have motivated the design of novel materials for energy-related applications. However, the design of ever-complicating materials for emerging energy technologies is currently bottlenecked by limited resources to understand complex surface and interface structures and property relationships. In the first part of this thesis, we develop a tandem framework that combines a molecular thermodynamic theory and molecular dynamics simulations in an attempt to investigate solid interfacial phenomena and to discuss how deep learning methods can improve the framework as a next step. In the second part, we develop a set of deep learning methods that solve various materials and catalyst design problems including property, structure, and stability analysis. We present a graph neural networks architecture to learn the optimal representations of heterogeneous catalysis systems for the accurate prediction of adsorption/binding energies. Then we extended the approach to approximate ground-state structures of the catalysis systems by incorporating differentiable optimization methods into the graph neural networks architecture. We further develop a general deep reinforcement learning framework to identify the metastability of alloy catalyst surfaces by exploring possible surface reconstructions and their associated kinetic barriers under reaction conditions. With these advanced data-driven methods that understand the surface and interfacial phenomena, we open up new avenues for accelerated materials and catalyst discovery.
Child [Un]Friendly Border Control: A Criminological Analysis of Young Asylum Seeker’s Migration and Immigration Detention Experiences

description: Globalization has expanded the travelling privileges of certain populations (namely for those in the West) while it has simultaneously resulted in restrictions on the movement of the more racialized and impoverished populations. The economically disadvantaged groups are subjected to strict border control policies such as stringent visa requirements (to stop them before they migrate), border infrastructure (to curb their mobility while they are travelling across international borders), and detention policies (after they arrive in the host country). The corresponding challenges are particularly taxing and traumatic for vulnerable populations, especially minors. Using qualitative methodology, this research explores the interview-based accounts of nine asylum-seeking children and young adults regarding their migration experiences with border control policies (during their migration) and administrative detention procedures in Canada. Drawing on Criminology of Mobility as a conceptual framework, the findings of this study demonstrate that border infrastructure endangers young asylum seekers’ lives as it compels them to pursue more precarious means, such as using the services of human smugglers or crossing international borders from isolated and dangerous crossing points. The findings of this research also suggest that juvenile asylum seekers may be experiencing border control policies and immigration detention more negatively because of their age-related vulnerabilities.

description: Due to adaption mechanisms, continuous perception of a simple stimuli can lead to perceptual fading, and successive perception of stimuli of the same general category but with different characteristics can lead to illusionary perceptual exaggeration of differences. Another reason for perceptual illusions is peripheral vision due to sparse neural representations of peripherally perceived stimuli. Some adaptation-based illusions are potentiated or exclusive in peripheral vision, which postulates an interaction between adaption mechanisms and peripheral vision. Consecutively perceived faces in peripheral vision appear distorted after the first few faces within a sequence, a phenomenon called flashed face distortion effect. Here we aim to systematically analyze adaptation-based neural and perceptual consequences of sequential and pairwise consecutive face perceptions in central and peripheral vision.

description: La multiplication des attentats terroristes menés contre l’Occident dans les dernières années a soulevé un intérêt tout particulier de la part de la communauté intellectuelle. Or, il de notre avis qu’une approche philosophique est un besoin manifeste pour la littérature associée à ce sujet. Conséquemment, c’est en examinant le rapport entre l’Occident et l’Islam dans le regard de l’acteur de premier plan : l’idéologie salafiste que cette présente étude envisage contribuer au large champ de recherche qu’est celui de l’occidentalisme, mais plus particulièrement l’orientalisme inversé. En l’absence d’une littérature abondante portant sur l’orientalisme inversé, une subdivision de l’occidentalisme, cette étude se définit comme une recherche a teneur théorique ayant pour objectif d’approfondir les mécanismes permettant à cette école d’observer et de dépeindre l’Occident dans le but de forger sa propre identité. C’est en présentant l’articulation du concept d’altérité dans le discours de Sayyid Qutb (19061966), l’un des théoriciens les plus influents de l’idéologie islamiste salafiste que cette thèse de maîtrise explore la perception de l’Occident dans la pensée salafiste. Cette étude tend à démontrer que l’altérité est le pilier d’un discours contre-hégémonique qui vise à renverser la domination occidentale par celle de l’Islam. Le corpus théorique de cette recherche, composé des œuvres théoriques les plus connues de l’auteur est alors observé au moyen de l’analyse critique de discours, une technique méthodologique interprétative qui s’alimente des contextes discursifs.
