description: Σκοπός της εργασίας ήταν η μελέτη της επίδρασης των ανθρωπογενών ατμοσφαιρικών αιωρημάτων, ανθρακούχων και θειούχων, στη θερμοκρασία, στην περιοχή της Ευρώπης. Για το σκοπό αυτό, υλοποιήθηκαν δύο προσομοιώσεις που κάλυπταν τη χρονική περίοδο 1996-2007, με και χωρίς την επίδραση των ανθρωπογενών αιωρημάτων, και έγινε σύγκριση των αποτελεσμάτων. Διαπιστώθηκε σχετικά μικρή διαφοροποίηση μεταξύ των δύο περιπτώσεων, με περιορισμένη στατιστική σημαντικότητα και χωρική κατανομή που σχετιζόταν περισσότερο με δυναμικές μεταβολές στη γενική κυκλοφορία της ατμόσφαιρας στην περιοχή μελέτης και λιγότερο με την επίδραση των αιωρημάτων στην προσπίπτουσα ηλιακή ακτινοβολία. Αυτή η τελευταία διαπίστωση, παρά την υπερεκτίμηση της προαναφερθείσας επίδρασης των αιωρημάτων στην ακτινοβολία, συγκριτικά με δεδομένα παρατηρήσεων, οδήγησε στο συμπέρασμα ότι η συμβολή των ανθρωπογενών αιωρημάτων είναι σχετικά μικρή σε σχέση με άλλες αιτίες μεταβολής του κλίματος και λαμβάνει χώρα μέσω πιο περίπλοκων φυσικών μηχανισμών
description: The purpose of the study was the investigation of the direct effect of anthropogenic carbon and sulphur compounds, in the form of atmospheric aerosols, on temperatures, in the general European region. To that end, two sets of simulations were performed, covering the 1996-2007 time period, one accounting for the effect of the aerosols and one to act as control. The observed differences were small and of limited statistical significance, while their spatial distribution was more consistent with the dynamical changes to the general atmospheric circulation in the area, rather than the changes to the incident shortwave solar radiation. This last information, despite the overestimation of the aforementioned radiation changes, relative to observational data, led to the conclusion that the direct effect of athropogenic aerosols on temperature in Europe is limited, when compared to other climate altering causes, and occurs through more complex dynamic processes

description: Ένα από τα πιο φλέγοντα ζητήματα στον τομέα της υγείας αφορά στην χρήση θεραπειών ιδιαίτερα υψηλού κόστους και αποτελεί πεδίο έντονων αντιπαραθέσεων, καθώς εγείρει ζητήματα τόσο οικονομικής διαχείρισης στον τομέα της υγείας όσο και ζητημάτων βιοηθικής. Η ανάλυση της βιοηθικής διάστασης της χρήσης θεραπειών με πολύ μεγάλο κόστος είναι μια διαδικασία πολύπλοκη και πολύπλευρη. Η αξία της ανθρώπινης ζωής, όπως και του δικαιώματος στην παροχή υγείας, είναι αναφαίρετα δικαιώματα του ανθρώπου, που κατοχυρώνονται από τη Χάρτα Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων και αποτελούν βασικό συστατικό των ανθρώπινων κοινωνιών. Είναι λογικό ο καθένας να επιδιώκει για τον εαυτό του και τους γύρω του τα «πάντα», ώστε να διασφαλίσει την υγεία του. Ωστόσο, η επάρκεια των πόρων δεν είναι απεριόριστη και γι΄αυτό απαιτείται η κατάλληλη κατανομή τους, προκειμένου να απολαύσουν όσο το δυνατό περισσότεροι αυτό το δικαίωμα. Αυτά τα θέματα ,που άπτονται της βιοηθικής, αναλύονται στη συνέχεια, ενώ παράλληλα παρουσιάζονται και οι προκλήσεις και προοπτικές για τα συστήματα υγείας
description: One of the most important issues in the health sector nowadays is the use of treatments of extremely high cost treatments as it provokes a lot of controversies. The basic issues emerging in these controversies are the financial management in the health sector and the bioethical dimension of the choices in this field. The value of human life as also the right to access to health services is undoubtedly unpalatable and is a basic content of the Human Rights and the modern societies. So it is justified for everyone to desire everything possible for himself and his relatives in order to maintain the best health status possible. However, the available sources for health are not infinite and therefore a special concern in the source allocation is essential, in order to achieve proper medical services for as many as possible. These bioethical issues are analyzed in the main text, while the challenges and the prospective for health systems are presented

In contrast to the homogeneous case $(γ=0)$, the system is not in equilibrium and ultimately it vanishes, and there are more different types of occupation time limit processes depending on arrangements of the parameters $γ, d$ and $α$.

description:
The International Energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Prices database includes annual energy prices data for more than 120 countries, for gasoline, automotive diesel, electricity and other products.

Energy prices are a significant part of our domestic expenditures, play an important role for industrial competitiveness and influence energy consumption patterns. End-use prices-paid by final consumers- are affected by movements incommodity markets as well as policy decisions. As countries move away from regulated pricing, monitoring energy end-use prices around the world has become increasingly important for analysts and policy makers. World Energy Prices aims to serve this purpose by being the most reliable database that uses official sources with transparent and documented methodologies for each country.
Synergism of the dynamics of tetrahedral hydrogen bonds of liquid water

description: We used modified Arrhenius approximations to analyze the known temperature dependences (TDs) of water microstructure parameters and its dynamic characteristics. The analysis of activation energies showed a significant difference in the molecular dynamics (MD) of water in the ranges from 273 to 298 K and from 300 to 373 K. The features of MD in the first range were associated with the metastable ice-like phase of water, in which hexagonal clusters with tetrahedral hydrogen bonds (HBs) predominate. Based on the ratios of the signs and values of the activation energies of HBs fluctuations and the parameters of the microstructure, it was assumed that fluctuations of HBs dipoles play a key role in the mechanism of resonant activation by thermal energy of consistent reactions of deformation, rupture and formation of tetrahedral HBs in water clusters. The synergism of these reactions and the interaction of the charges of the vacant acceptor and donor tetrahedral orbitals of the oxygen atom trigger at 298 K an explosive transition of the metastable ice like phase of water into the argon like phase. The synergetics of water dynamics above 298 K is adequately characterized by the product diffusion on viscosity, from which TDs follow the activation energies of reactions that determine the form of the Stokes Einstein relation in the temperature ranges below and above the 298 K point.

description: In a co-evolutionary context, the survive probability of individual elements of a system depends on their relation with their neighbors. The natural selection process depends on the whole population, which is determined by local events between individuals. Particular characteristics assigned to each individual, as larger memory, usually improve the individual fitness, but an agent possess also endogenous characteristics that induce to re-evaluate her fitness landscape and choose the best-suited kind of interaction, inducing a non absolute value of the outcomes of the interaction. In this work, a novel model with agents combining memory and rational choice is introduced, where individual choices in a complex fitness landscape induce changes in the distribution of the number of agents as a function of the time. In particular, the tail of this distribution is fat compared with distributions for agents interacting only with memory.

description: We report here X-ray imaging spectroscopy observations of the northeastern shell of the supernova remnant RCW 86 with Chandra and XMM-Newton. Along this part of the shell the dominant X-ray radiation mechanism changes from thermal to synchrotron emission. We argue that both the presence of X-ray synchrotron radiation and the width of the synchrotron emitting region suggest a locally higher shock velocity of V_s = 2700 km/s and a magnetic field of B = 24+/-5 microGauss. Moreover, we also show that a simple power law cosmic ray electron spectrum with an exponential cut-off cannot explain the broad band synchrotron emission. Instead a concave electron spectrum is needed, as predicted by non-linear shock acceleration models. Finally, we show that the derived shock velocity strengthens the case that RCW 86 is the remnant of SN 185.

description: The two-band/two-gap superconductivity in aluminium and carbon doped MgB$_2$ has been addressed by the point-contact spectroscopy. Two gaps are preserved in all samples with $T_c's$ down to 22 K. The evolution of two gaps as a function of the critical temperature in the doped systems suggest the dominance of the band-filling effects but for the increased Al-doping the enhanced interband scattering approaching two gaps must be considered. The magnetic field dependences of the Andreev reflection excess currents as well as zero-energy density of states determined from the experimental data are used to analyze the intraband scattering. It is shown, that while the C-doping increases the intraband scattering in the $π$-band more rapidly then in the $σ$ band, the Al-doping does not change their relative weight.

description: V407 Vul (RXJ1914.4+2456) and HM Cnc (RXJ0806.3+1527) are X-ray emitting stars with X-ray light curves that are 100% modulated on periods of 569 and 321 seconds respectively. These periods are thought possibly to represent the orbital periods of close pairs of white dwarfs. In this paper we present optical light curves taken with the high-speed CCD camera ULTRACAM on the 4.2m WHT in May 2003 and August 2005 and with the VLT in November 2005. The optical and X-ray light curves of HM Cnc have been reported as being in anti-phase, but we find that in fact the X-rays peak around 0.2 cycles after the maximum of the optical light, as seen also in V407 Vul. The X-ray/optical phase shifts are well explained under the accreting models of the systems if most of the optical modulation comes from the heated faces of the mass donors and if the X-ray emitting spots are positioned in advance of the mass donors, as is expected given the angular momentum of the accreting material. Some optical emission may also come from the vicinity of the X-ray spot, and we further show that this can explain the non-sinusoidal lightcurves of HM Cnc. The only significant difference between the two stars is that V407 Vul is observed to have the spectrum of a G star. The variation in position on the sky of a blend of a variable and a constant star can be used as a measure of their separation, and is sensitive to values well below the limit set by seeing. We apply "pulsation astrometry" to deduce that the G star is separated from the variable by about 0.027'' and hence plays no role in the variability of V407 Vul. We show that light travel time variations could influence the period change in V407 Vul if it forms a triple system with the G star.

description: We address the problem whether a given set of expectation values is compatible with the first and second moments of the generic spin operators of a system with total spin j. Those operators appear as the Stokes operator in quantum optics, as well as the total angular momentum operators in the atomic ensemble literature. We link this problem to a particular extension problem for bipartite qubit states; this problem is closely related to the symmetric extension problem that has recently drawn much attention in different contexts of the quantum information literature. We are able to provide operational, approximate solutions for every large spin numbers, and in fact the solution becomes exact in the limiting case of infinite spin numbers. Solutions for low spin numbers are formulated in terms of a hyperplane characterization, similar to entanglement witnesses, that can be efficiently solved with semidefinite programming.

description: We investigate the flow field in the sunspot canopy using simultaneous Stokes vector spectropolarimetry of three sunspots ($θ$ = 27, 50, 75 deg) and their surroundings in visible (630.15 and 630.25 nm) and near infrared (1564.8 and 1565.2 nm) neutral iron lines.} {To calibrate the Doppler shifts, we compare an absolute velocity calibration using the telluric $O_2$-line at 630.20 nm and a relative velocity calibration using the Doppler shift of Stokes V profiles in the umbra under the assumption that the umbra is at rest. Both methods yield the same result within the calibration uncertainties (~150 m/s). We study the radial dependence of Stokes V profiles in the directions of disk center and limb side. Maps of Stokes V profile shifts, polarity, amplitude asymmetry, field strength and magnetic field azimuth provide strong evidence for the presence of a magnetic canopy and for the existence of a radial outflow in the canopy. Our findings indicate that the Evershed flow does not cease abruptly at the white-light spot boundary, but that at least a part of the penumbral Evershed flow continues into the magnetic canopy.

description: The preparation of water based inks whick contain proprietary tri-functional reactive dyes for digital printing on artificial and natural fabric is described. Water based inks containing a miscible organic solvent and a colorant were prepared. The organic solvent of choice was isopropyl alcohol. The inks were prepared with both CMYK and RBY systems in mind. Therefore six inks were prepared for use with digital printers. Properties of pH, viscosity, conductivity and surface tension were monitored for a period of one year. The formulation was found to be stable for that period of time. The inks were used to print with a conventional ink-jet printer on cotton fabric. The printed fabric was then thermostabilized and washed. Determination of color fastness after multiple wash cycles was done using the BS 1006:1990 standard method. The results were excellent

description: The majority of tumour samples studied by high-throughput transcriptomics are heterogeneous at three levels: (1) bulk samples contain a mixture of several cell types; (2) cancers naturally develop inter and intra-tumour heterogeneity of malignant cells; (3) the evolving technology may introduce technical biases and limit comparison of new patient data to large publicly available datasets. Here we propose to use a data-driven deconvolution method – consensus independent component analysis (ICA) to decompose heterogeneous transcriptomics data and extract features suitable for patient diagnostics and prognostics. The method separates biologically-relevant transcriptional signals from technical effects and provides information about cellular composition and biological processes. The method was applied to RNA-seq and microarray data originated from several studies on patients with glioblastoma and low-grade gliomas. We also validated the approach on in-house data from GBM patient tumour specimens and corresponding patient-derived cell lines and xenograft models in vivo. The proposed method efficiently cleans the heterogeneous datasets from technical biases and allows making diagnostic and prognostic conclusions about the new patients. In addition, it provides information about biological processes activated in the new patient tumours and can be applied for stratification of tumour and stroma-specific signals.

description: We study star formation in a sample of 1204 galaxies in minor (| Δm_z | \geq 2) pairs and compact groups, drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5). We analyze an analogous sample of 2409 galaxies in major (| Δm_z | < 2$) pairs and compact groups to ensure that our selection reproduces previous results, and we use a ``field'' sample of 65,570 galaxies for comparison. Our major and minor pairs samples include only galaxies in spectroscopically confirmed pairs, where the recessional velocity separation $ΔV < 500$ km/s and the projected spatial separation $ΔD < 50$ kpc/h. The relative magnitude (a proxy for the mass ratio) of the pair is an important parameter in the effectiveness of the tidally triggered star formation in minor interactions. As expected, the secondary galaxies in minor pairs show evidence for tidally triggered star formation, whereas the primary galaxies in the minor pairs do not. The galaxy color is also an important parameter in the effectiveness of triggered star formation in the major galaxy pairs. In the major pairs sample, there is a correlation between the specific H$α$ star formation rate (SSFR) and $ΔD$ in the blue primary and blue secondary galaxies; for the red primary and red secondary galaxies, there is none. Galaxies in pairs have a higher mean SSFR at every absolute magnitude compared to matched sets of field galaxies, and the relative increase in mean SSFR becomes larger with decreasing intrinsic luminosity. We also detect a significantly increased AGN fraction in the pair galaxies compared to matched sets of field galaxies.

Regular black holes and black universes

description: We give a comparative description of different types of regular static, spherically symmetric black holes (BHs) and discuss in more detail their particular type, which we suggest to call black universes. The latter have a Schwarzschild-like causal structure, but inside the horizon there is an expanding Kantowski-Sachs universe and a de Sitter infinity instead of a singularity. Thus a hypothetic BH explorer gets a chance to survive. Solutions of this kind are naturally obtained if one considers static, spherically symmetric distributions of various (but not all) kinds of phantom matter whose existence is favoured by cosmological observations. It also looks possible that our Universe has originated from phantom-dominated collapse in another universe and underwent isotropization after crossing the horizon. An explicit example of a black-universe solution with positive Schwarzschild mass is discussed.

Cognitive strategies and heuristics underlying psychologists’ judgments on the WISE-R verbal scales : a protocol analysis
Creators: name: Perot, Josette Anne-Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate psychologists' natural, interactive decision-making behaviour while scoring difficult verbal responses on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised. A total of 23 psychologists participated in the study. First of all, in order to obtain scoring information descriptive of the sample, psychologists scored a WISC-R protocol. This protocol comprised four verbal scale subtests: the Vocabulary, Similarities, Information, and Comprehension subtests. In order of difficulty, the Vocabulary, Comprehension, Similarities, and Information subtests were found to be most prone to scoring differences. The Verbal IQ was found to vary by 11 points. Differences in point assignment within subtests accounted for variance in scoring. Following the completion of the first measure, a sub-sample of 8 psychologists provided think-aloud protocols in a separate session while scoring a second fabricated Comprehension subtest. The complexity of the task involved the consideration of administration errors and response judgment while scoring. Rather than focus solely on quantitative analysis of error differences as has been done in prior research, this study conceptualized these sources by providing additional analysis of specific strategies psychologists used while making scoring decisions. The results of the verbal protocol analysis identified cognitive strategies inherent in the scoring of difficult type responses. The type and frequency of cognitive strategies identified in the study appear to be related to individual scoring accuracy. At the end of the session, psychologists were asked to identify strategies that were useful to them in difficult scoring situations. All psychologists identified the manual as the primary heuristic; however, percentage frequencies of verbalized strategies across subjects indicated that only four of the subjects used the manual as their primary aid on this task. These findings are further discussed, as well as their implications and inferences.

description: We argue that the RSI model can provide a strong signature in gravitational waves. This signal is a relic stochastic background generated during the cosmological phase transition from an AdS-Schwarschild phase to the RS1 geometry that should occur at a temperature in the TeV range. We estimate the amplitude of the signal in terms of the parameters of the potential stabilizing the radion and show that over much of the parameter region in which the phase transition completes, a signal should be detectable at the planned space interferometer, LISA.

description: Semi-classical states in homogeneous loop quantum cosmology (LQC) are constructed by two different ways. In the first approach, we firstly construct an exponentiated annihilation operator. Then a kind of semi-classical (coherent) state is obtained by solving the eigen-equation of that operator. Moreover, we use these coherent states to analyze the semi-classical limit of the quantum dynamics. It turns out that the Hamiltonian constraint operator employed currently in homogeneous LQC has correct classical limit with respect to the coherent states. In the second approach, the other kind of semi-classical state is derived from the mathematical construction of coherent states for compact Lie groups due to Hall.

description: We consider the distributed synthesis problem fortemporal logic specifications. Traditionally, the problem has been studied for LTL, and the previous results show that the problem is decidable iff there is no information fork in the architecture. We consider the problem for fragments of LTLand our main results are as follows: (1) We show that the problem is undecidable for architectures with information forks even for the fragment of LTL with temporal operators restricted to next and eventually. (2) For specifications restricted to globally along with non-nested next operators, we establish decidability (in EXPSPACE) for star architectures where the processes receive disjoint inputs, whereas we establish undecidability for architectures containing an information fork-meet structure. (3)Finally, we consider LTL without the next operator, and establish decidability (NEXPTIME-complete) for all architectures for a fragment that consists of a set of safety assumptions, and a set of guarantees where each guarantee is a safety, reachability, or liveness condition.

description: The Bogoliubov energy functional proposed recently by Napiórkowski, Reuvers and Solovej is revisited. We offer a direct proof of the existence of minimizers at zero temperature, which covers a significantly larger class of interaction potentials. The ideas used in this proof also imply that in any ground state, more than half of the particles are inside the Bose-Einstein condensate.

description: Contemporary spreadsheets are plagued by a profusion of errors, auditing difficulties, lack of uniform development methodologies, and barriers to easy comprehension of the underlying business models they represent. This paper presents a case that most of these difficulties stem from the fact that the standard spreadsheet user-interaction paradigm - the 'cell-matrix' approach - is appropriate for spreadsheet data presentation but has significant drawbacks with respect to spreadsheet creation, maintenance and comprehension when workbooks pass a minimal threshold of complexity. An alternative paradigm for the automated generation of spreadsheets directly from plain-language business model descriptions is presented along with its potential benefits. Sunsight Modeller (TM), a working software system implementing the suggested paradigm, is briefly described.

description: We study a theory where the presence of an extra spin-two field coupled to gravity gives rise to a phase with spontaneously broken Lorentz symmetry. In this phase gravity is massive, and the Weak Equivalence Principle is respected. The newtonian potentials are in general modified, but we identify an non-perturbative symmetry that protects them. The gravitational waves sector has a rich phenomenology: sources emit a combination of massless and massive gravitons that propagate with distinct velocities and also oscillate. Since their velocities differ from the speed of light, the time of flight difference between gravitons and photons from a common source could be measured.
