description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν η διερεύνηση πολυμορφισμών γονιδίων υπεύθυνων για αναπαραγωγικά χαρακτηριστικά σε ελληνικές εκτροφές χοίρων. Η έκφραση και αλληλεπίδραση των γονιδίων αυτών, έχει δειχθεί ότι μπορούν να καθορίσουν ποσοτικά χαρακτηριστικά, όπως ο αριθμός χοιριδίων ανά τοκετό. Η χρήση των γονιδίων ως δείκτες επιλογής σε προγράμματα γενετικής βελτίωσης, τα καθιστά σημαντικά για τον τομέα, αφού δίνουν τη δυνατότητα μείωσης του κόστους παραγωγής. Στη μελέτη εξετάστηκαν τα γονίδια MC4R και GPX5. Ο υποδοχέας 4 της μελανοκορτίνης είναι γνωστός για τη λειτουργία του ως μεσολαβητής στη ρύθμιση πρόσληψης της τροφής και του σωματικού βάρους, καθώς αποκρίνεται στα σήματα της λεπτίνης. Ένα από τα γονίδια της οικογένειας ενζύμων της γλουταθειόνης της υπεροξειδάσης (GPX5) εκφράζεται στην επιδιδυμίδα και επηρεάζει τον αριθμό σπερματοζωαρίων που θα γονιμοποιήσουν επιτυχώς τα ωάρια. Τα αποτελέσματα της εργασίας για τους πολυμορφισμούς των γονιδίων αυτών στο εξεταζόμενο δείγμα αποκάλυψαν την ύπαρξη των μεταλλαγμένων αλληλομόρφων σε αρκετά χαμηλό ποσοστό που δεν ξεπερνούσε το 35%. Επομένως, η συσχέτιση των πολυμορφισμών των γονιδίων MC4R και GPX5 με τη γονιμότητα των χοίρων χρήζει περαιτέρω ανάλυσης.
description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate gene polymorphisms responsible for reproductive traits in Greek pig production. The expression and interaction of these genes has shown that they are able to determine quantitative characteristics, such as the number of piglets per parturition. The use of genes as selection markers in genetic improvement programs, emphasize their importance for the sector, as there is the potential of reducing production costs. The study examined the MC4R and GPX5 genes. The melanocortin 4 receptor is known for its function as a mediator in the regulation of food intake and body weight, as well as its respond to leptin signals. One of the genes in the enzymes glutathione peroxidase family, GPX5, expresses in the epididymis and affects the number of spermatozoa that will successfully fertilize the ova. The results on the polymorphisms of both genes in the examined sample revealed the presence of the mutant allele at fairly low percentage that did not exceed 35%. Therefore the correlation of polymorphisms of MC4R and GPX5 genes with swine’s fertility requires further analysis.

description: The linear electron acoustic waves propagating in plasmas with two kappa-distributed electrons and stationary ions are investigated. The temperatures of the two electrons are assumed to be the same, but the kappa indices are not. It shows that if one kappa index is small enough and the other one is large enough, a weak damping regime of the electron acoustic waves exists. The dispersions and damping rates are numerically studied. The parameter spaces for the weakly damped electron acoustic waves are analyzed. Moreover, the electron acoustic waves in the present model are compared with those in other models, especially the plasmas with two-temperature electrons. At last, we perform Vlasov-Poisson simulations to verify the theory.

description: A computational investigation of Cu-, Ni-, and Ag-introduced ZSM-5 as potential hydrogen storage materials for nuclear fusion energy systems is performed. Among the 24 distinct tetrahedral sites of the monoclinic phase of ZSM-5, systematic periodic density functional theory (DFT) computations have been carried out on 15 experimentally identified T sites that show clear Al site preference and stability in high Si ZSM-5. Adsorption energies estimated from DFT studies have revealed that the T sites in the sinusoidal channels T4 and T10 are the most stable for including all three metal ions. Hence, these should also be considered as potential active sites for dihydrogen binding investigations in addition to the common T12 site in the intersection. The average hydrogen binding energies at these representative T sites were −79 to −45 kJ/mol, which correlates well with both the metal-H2 distance and H-H bond elongation distance. The computed hydrogen bond stretching frequency values were in the 3300 to 3755 cm−1 range upon adsorption of H2 onto the Ni, Cu, and Ag, indicating Kubas-type dihydrogen complex formation. The evidence for dihydrogen binding was also obtained from investigating the σ donation and back donation between the metal ion valence orbitals and the H2σ, H2σ* orbitals through projected density of states and natural bond order analysis. Our analysis indicates that Ni is better stabilized in the framework sites and is considered a potential candidate for dihydrogen binding.

description: We investigate the asymptotic properties of the large deviation function of the integrated particle current in systems, in or out of thermal equilibrium, whose dynamics exhibits anomalous diffusion. The physical systems covered by our study include mutually repelling particles with a drift, a driven lattice gas displaying a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition, and particles diffusing in a anisotropic random advective field. It is exemplified how renormalisation group techniques allow for a systematic determination of power laws in the corresponding current large deviation functions. We show that the latter are governed by known universal scaling exponents, specifically, the anomalous dimension of the noise correlators.

description: This study investigated the process one woman went through in becoming dependent on alcohol. The story of the process, and its context, was elicited from the main character and from her sister, brother, and husband. Each participant in the study was interviewed and transcripts were made. The story was developed by integrating information from all the interviews. The process revealed evolved from the interaction of biological, psychological, sociocultural and economic factors. It was grounded in attachment and learning processes. The addictive process was identified as a maladaptive stress-coping cycle that developed a "life of its own" due to the feedforward effect of circular causation.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματοποιήθηκε η σύνθεση και η μελέτη νέων ενώσεων του υπερσθενούς ιωδίου. Αρχικά συντέθηκε ένα νέο μ-οξο-παράγωγο του τρισθενούς ιωδίου και μελετήθηκε η ικανότητά του να πραγματοποιεί αντιδράσεις οξείδωσης φαινολών σε διαλύτη DCM, MeCN/H2O και σε σκέτο H2O. Επίσης, συντέθηκαν in situ τρία χειρόμορφα ακυλοξυϊωδοβενζόλια από σάκχαρα της ριβόζης και της γλυκόζης με διαφορετικές ομάδες προστασίας και μελετήθηκε η οξειδωτική τους δράση σε μια αντίδραση οξείδωσης ενός σουλφιδίου προς το αντίστοιχο σουλφοξείδιο. Τέλος, συντέθηκαν δύο 3-υποκατεστημένα-2-ιωδοβενζοϊκά οξέα με χειρόμορφες ομάδες που προέρχονται από προστατευμένα αμινοξέα, την αλανίνη και την προλίνη. Οι ενώσεις αυτές αποτελούν πρόδρομες ενώσεις νέων χειρόμορφων IBXs και γι αυτό το λόγο μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν ως οργανοκαταλύτες σε αντιδράσεις ασύμμετρης σύνθεσης.
description: In the present MSc Thesis, the synthesis and the study of new compounds of hypervalent iodine are described. First of all, a new μ-oxo-derivative of trivalent iodine was synthesized and its ability to give oxidation reactions of phenols at solvent DCM, MeCN/H2O and pure H2O was studied. Also, three chiral akyloxyiodobenzenes were synthesized in situ from sugars of ribose and glucose with different protective groups and their oxidative effect at the oxidation of a sulfide to the corresponding sulfoxide was investigated. Finally, two 3-substituted-2-iodobenzoic acids with chiral groups which are arise from the protected aminoacids, alanine and proline were prepared. These compounds are precursors of new chiral IBXs. Thus, they could be used as organocatalysts at asymmetric synthesis reactions.

description: Differential enrichment between $α$- and Fe-peak elements is known to be strongly connected with the shape of the star formation history (SFH), the star formation efficiency (SFE), the inflow and outflow of material, and even the shape of the Initial Mass Function (IMF). However, beyond the Local Group detailed explorations are mostly limited to early-type galaxies due to the lack of a good proxy for [$α$/Fe] in late-type ones, limiting our understanding of the chemical enrichment process. We intent to extend the explorations of [$α$/Fe] to late-type galaxies, in order to understand the details of the differential enrichment process. We compare the gas phase oxygen abundance with the luminosity weighted stellar metallicity in an extensive catalog of $\sim$25,000 H ii regions extracted from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey, an exploration using integral field spectroscopy of $\sim$900 galaxies, covering a wide range of masses and morphologies. This way we define [O/Fe] as the ratio between both parameters, proposing it as an indirect proxy of the [$α$/Fe] ratio. Results. We illustrate how the [O/Fe] parameter describes the chemical enrichment process in spiral galaxies, finding that: (i) it follows the decreasing pattern with [Fe/H] reported for the [$α$/Fe] ratio and (ii) its absolute scale depends of the stellar mass and the morphology. We reproduce both patterns using two different chemical evolution models (ChEM), considering that galaxies with different stellar mass and morphology present (i) different SFHs, SFEs and different inflow/outflow rates, or (ii) a different maximum stellar mass cut for the IMF. We will explore the differential chemical enrichment using this new proxy galaxy by galaxy and region by region in further studies.

description: New Spitzer imaging observations have revealed the structure around the Mira variable star R Hya to be a one-sided parabolic arc 100 arcsec to the West stretching from North to South. We successfully model R Hya and its surroundings in terms of an interaction of the stellar wind from an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star with the interstellar medium (ISM) the star moves through. Our three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation reproduces the structure as a bow shock into the oncoming ISM. We propose this as another explanation of detached shells around such stars which should be considered alongside current theories of internal origin. The simulation predicts the existence of a tail of ram-pressure-stripped AGB material stretching downstream. Indications for such a tail behind R Hya are seen in IRAS maps.

description: Neutrino accompanied double beta-decay of Ge-76 can populate the ground state and the excited states of Se-76. While the decay to the ground state has been observed with a half-life of 1.74 +0.18 -0.16 10^21 years, decays to the excited states have not yet been observed. Nuclear matrix elements depend on details of the nuclear transitions. A measurement of the half-life of the transition considered here could help to reduce the uncertainties of the calculations of the nuclear matrix element for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Ge-76. This parameter relates the half-life of the process to the effective Majorana neutrino mass. The results of a feasibility study to detect the neutrino accompanied double beta-decay of Ge-76 to the excited states of Se-76 are presented in this paper. Segmented germanium detectors were assumed in this study. Such detectors, enriched in Ge-76 to a level of about 86%, will be deployed in the GERDA experiment located at the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory, Italy. It is shown that the decay of Ge-76 to the 1122 keV 0+ level of Se-76 can be observed in GERDA provided that the half-life of the process is in the range favoured by the present calculations which is 7.5 10^21 y to 3.1 10^23 y.

description: In order to establish personal liability of a public employee, the grid of the provisions of the GCC (Greek Civil Code) and the Civil Service Code is used. In organizing the liability of the employee, the application of the GCC is generally prior to the application of the Civil Service Code in the sense that civil liability of the State is firstly established and then is followed by the liability of the employee or the State’s right of recourse. In the first part, historical elements of the civil liability of the State are mentioned, with emphasis on personal liability and the conditions of civil liability of the State as they were formulated before and after the introduction of the Civil Code. In the second part, we will deal with personal civil liability, that is the conditions of liability of the responsible body under the Civil Service Code. The third part deals with the procedural handling of the liability claims and the procedural issues that are raised before the competent court to deal with the claim, that is the Court of Auditors.

description: Nanotechnology is the use of extremely small materials that have unique physical and chemical properties due to their size. Use of nanoparticles (NPs) has spread by the advance in technology and realizing the different applications of NPs in industries. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles by microorganism is a green and eco-friendly technology despite the traditional methods. Fungi are a great candidate for biosynthesize of NPs because of a large variety of enzymes in the cell, high capacity for metal absorption and the ease of working with. Biosynthesize of nanoparticles could be intracellular or extracellular. The several workers have reported that NADH dependent nitrate reductase enzyme plays a vital role in the conversion of metallic ions to nanoparticles. The FTIR study reveals that diverse biomolecules viz. car-boxyl group, primary and secondary amines, amide I, II, and III bands etc. serve as a tool for bioreductionand capping agents there by offering stability to particles by preventing agglomeration and growth. It has followed by the fungus examples and suggested mechanisms of biosynthesize of nano particles employing fungus, in this article

description: Rheotaxis is a well-known phenomenon among microbial organisms and artificial active colloids, wherein the swimmers respond to an imposed flow. We report the first experimental evidence of upstream rheotaxis by spherical active droplets. It is shown that the presence of a nearby wall and the resulting strong flow-gradient at the droplet level is at the root of this phenomenon. Experiments with optical cells of different heights reveal that rheotaxis is observed only for a finite range of shear rates, independent of the bulk flow-rate. We conjecture that the flow induced distortion of an otherwise isotropic distribution of filled/empty micelles around the droplet propels it against the flow. We also show that nematic droplets exhibit elastic stress-induced oscillations during their rheotactic flight. A promising potential of manipulating the rheotactic behavior to trap as well as shuttle droplets between target locations is demonstrated, paving way to potentially significant advancement in bio-medical applications.

description: 1st Stage: The design of the questionnaire was informed by the literature (for instance, Harris & Moran 1998, Hay and Nye 1998) and the findings of a previous research project which investigated the perceptions of middle school students in Catholic schools of their religiosity and spirituality (Engebretson, de Souza & Salpietro, 2001). From this, a relational dimension of spirituality was identified which was relationship to self, to others, to the world and to God or a Divine presence. The questionnaire was divided into two sections. The first focused on the background of the participant in relation to gender, family, and cultural and religious practices. The second drew on the relational dimension of spirituality that had been identified from the literature, and items were constructed that focused on the following four aspects: - Mystery of the existence of God or a Supreme Being – the focus was on a sense of a transcendent dimension in life, a sense that each person has a reason for being, prayer. - Inner lives and sense of self – items related to an awareness of one’s own identity, the need for quiet, reflective times, and the act of creating as an expression of the inner spirit. - Others and the world –items included aspects of values and justice, relationships and influences. - Influence of a religious tradition on spirituality – items related to the role of family and individual religious practice, links to Church, priests and other members of the hierarchy. 109 students from Years 6, 9 and 11. These comprised the total number of students from each of these Year levels. Location: Two Coptic schools in Melbourne, Victoria Quantitative – Questionnaires 2nd Stage Questions focused on: - participants’ involvement in religious activities associated with their tradition; - perceptions of themselves as belonging to the Coptic community – that is, their sense of identity; - experiences of their lives as active members within their faith tradition in a pluralistic, secular society; - perceptions of how other young people from outside their community may have viewed them.

description: The subject of dangerousness and criminality of the mentally ill is the main focus of the master’s thesis. The thesis’ aim was to investigate whether the mentally ill are more likely to commit crimes and if there is a causal link between the mental illness and the crime, when there is one. Before this investigation, a presentation of the timeless connection of mental illness to negative, even hostile, feelings among human societies took place. The following chapter referred to the meaning of the term “dangerousness”, the reasons why it has been described as a vague term and the scientific association of the term with mental illness. Then, a review of the studies that took place in the latest decades followed about the frequency and the severity of the criminality of the mentally ill, comparing to the rest of the population. A special chapter was made about the difficulties these studies face. Furthermore, we presented the mental illnesses and their symptoms which are usually related to criminality and violent behavior in particular. In the last chapter, we tried to question the causal link between mental illness and crime, based on the previous data.

Τα δεδομένα που αποτέλεσαν αντικείμενο έρευνας παρουσιάζονται αντικρουόμενα, καθώς κάποιες μελέτες διαπίστωσαν ότι όντως υφίσταται σχέση ανάμεσα στη διγλωσσία και στον τραυλισμό, ενώ κάποιες άλλες όχι. Το ποσοστό εμφάνισης του τραυλισμού στις γλώσσες του δίγλωσσου ομιλητή εξαρτάται από την μεταξύ τους ομοιότητα. Η εκδήλωση του τραυλισμού ποικίλλει στον δίγλωσσο πληθυσμό, διότι τραυλικές συμπεριφορές είναι δυνατό να εντοπιστούν στη μία από τις δύο γλώσσες ή και στις δύο γλώσσες, αλλά με διαφορετικό τρόπο. Σ’ αυτό το πλαίσιο απαιτείται περισσότερη έρευνα, ώστε να εξαχθούν πιο ασφαλή συμπεράσματα.
description: The aim of this thesis is to explore the relation between bilingualism and stuttering through the review of research data generated during the period 2000 to 2016. The data presented conflicting results while some studies showed that there is indeed a relation between bilingualism and stuttering and others showed no correlation between them. The incidence of stuttering in bilinguals depends on the similarity of languages. Furthermore, the manifestation of stuttering varies in the bilingual population while behaviors can be identified in one of two languages or in both languages, but in different ways. Finally, more data and research is needed in order to come up with better and more accurate results.
Suppression of heavy flavors at RHIC & LHC

description: Some of the open questions on jet quenching are expected to be clarified by measuring heavy-flavored mesons at high transverse momentum. The formalism based on radiative in-medium energy-loss, which describes other high-pt results at RHIC, gives definite predictions for the suppression of charm and beauty quarks. However, the uncertainties from both contributions to the observed electrons make the interpretation of the data difficult due to the absence of a well calibrated benchmark. We review the present situation as well as the consequences for the future LHC. We also comment on the use of heavy flavored jet angular correlations as an additional tool to study the underline dynamics of jet quenching.

description: We analyze the symbol error probability (SEP) of $M$-ary pulse amplitude modulation ($M$-PAM) receivers equipped with optimal low-resolution quantizers. We first show that the optimum detector can be reduced to a simple decision rule. Using this simplification, an exact SEP expression for quantized $M$-PAM receivers is obtained when Nakagami-$m$ fading channel is considered. The derived expression enables the optimization of the quantizer and/or constellation under the minimum SEP criterion. Our analysis of optimal quantization for equidistant $M$-PAM receiver reveals the existence of error floor which decays at a double exponential rate with increasing quantization bits, $b$. Moreover, by also allowing the transmitter to optimize the constellation based on the statistics of the fading channel, we prove that the error floor can be eliminated but at a lower decay exponent than the unquantized case. Characterization of this decay exponent is provided in this paper. We also expose the outage performance limitations of SEP-optimal uniform quantizers. To be more precise, its decay exponent does not improve with $b$. Lastly, we demonstrate that the decay exponent of a quantized receiver can be complemented by receive antenna diversity techniques.

description: We introduce and study the random "locked" constraint satisfaction problems. When increasing the density of constraints, they display a broad "clustered" phase in which the space of solutions is divided into many isolated points. While the phase diagram can be found easily, these problems, in their clustered phase, are extremely hard from the algorithmic point of view: the best known algorithms all fail to find solutions. We thus propose new benchmarks of really hard optimization problems and provide insight into the origin of their typical hardness.

description: It was suggested that light-cone superstring field theory (LCSFT) and matrix string theory (MST) are closely related. Especially the bosonic twist fields and the fermionic spin fields in MST correspond to the string interaction vertices in LCSFT. Since CFT operators are characterized by their OPEs, in our previous work we realized the most important OPE of the twist fields by computing contractions of the interaction vertices using the bosonic cousin of LCSFT. Here using the full LCSFT we generalize our previous work into the realization of OPEs for a vast class of operators.

description: We have mapped [Ne II] (12.8um) and [S IV] (10.5um) emission from W51 IRS 2 with TEXES on Gemini North, and we compare these data to VLA free-free observations and VLT near-infrared images. With 0.5" spatial and 4 km/s spectral resolution we are able to separate the ionized gas into several components: an extended H II region on the front surface of the molecular cloud, several embedded compact H II regions, and a streamer of high velocity gas. We interpret the high velocity streamer as a precessing or fan-like jet, which has emerged from the molecular cloud into an OB star cluster where it is being ionized.

description: The theory of constructing instantaneous equilibrium (ieq) transition under arbitrary time-dependent temperature and potential variation for a Brownian particle is developed. It is shown that it is essential to consider the underdamped dynamics for temperature-changing transitions. The ieq is maintained by a time-dependent auxiliary position and momentum potential, which can be calculated for given time-dependent transition protocols. Explicit analytic results are derived for the work and heat statistics, energy, and entropy changes for harmonic and non-harmonic trapping potential with arbitrary time-dependent potential parameters and temperature protocols. Numerical solutions of the corresponding Langevin dynamics are computed to confirm the theoretical results. Although ieq transition of the reverse process is not the time-reversal of the ieq transition of the forward process due to the odd-parity of controlling parameters, their phase-space distribution functions restore the time-reversal symmetry, and hence the energy and entropy changes of the ieq of the reverse process are simply the negative of that of the forward process. Furthermore, it is shown that it is possible to construct an ieq transition that has zero entropy production at a finite transition rate, i.e., a fast ieq isentropic process, and is further demonstrated by explicit Langevin dynamics simulations. Our theory provides fundamental building blocks for designing controlled microscopic heat engine cycles. Implications for constructing an efficient Brownian heat engine are also discussed.

description: The microvascular networks in the body of vertebrates consist of the smallest vessels such as arterioles, capillaries, and venules. The flow of RBCs through these networks ensures the gas exchange in as well as the transport of nutrients to the tissues. Any alterations in this blood flow may have severe implications on the health state. Since the vessels in these networks obey dimensions similar to the diameter of RBCs, dynamic effects on the cellular scale play a key role. The steady progression in the numerical modeling of RBCs, even in complex networks, has led to novel findings in the field of hemodynamics, especially concerning the impact and the dynamics of lingering events, when a cell meets a branch of the network. However, these results are yet to be matched by a detailed analysis of the lingering experiments in vivo. To quantify this lingering effect in in vivo experiments, this study analyzes branching vessels in the microvasculature of Syrian golden hamsters via intravital microscopy and the use of an implanted dorsal skinfold chamber. It also presents a detailed analysis of these lingering effects of cells at the apex of bifurcating vessels, affecting the temporal distribution of cell-free areas of blood flow in the branches, even causing a partial blockage in severe cases.

description: The experimental realization of optimal symmetric phase-covariant 1->2 cloning of qubit states is presented. The qubits are represented by polarization states of photons generated by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The experiment is based on the interference of two photons on a custom-made beam splitter with different splitting ratios for vertical and horizontal polarization components. From the measured data we have estimated the implemented cloning transformation using the maximum-likelihood method. The result shows that the realized transformation is very close to the ideal one and the map fidelity reaches 94%.

description: Η μεταπτυχιακή διπλωματική εργασία «Η πόλη των Αθηνών στη Λογοτεχνία της κρίσης» διερευνά το θέμα της κρίσης στα λογοτεχνικά δρώμενα και κυρίως τη λογοτεχνική παρουσία της πόλης. Η εργασία κινείται στο πεδίο της συγκριτικής γραμματολογίας και ανοίγει το θέμα της λογοτεχνίας της κρίσης στην κατεύθυνση της συγχρονίας και συγκεκριμένα σε λογοτεχνικά κείμενα στα οποία η πόλη πρωταγωνιστεί όπως στα βιβλία Φακός στο στόμα του Χ. Χρυσόπουλου, Η Βικτώρια δεν υπάρχει του Γ.Τσίρμπα, Πέτρα, ψαλίδι, χαρτί του Ν.Μάντη και Η άκρα ταπείνωση της Ρέας Γαλανάκη. Άξονας της διερεύνησής της εργασίας είναι το ερώτημα κατά πόσον η θεματική της κρίσης συνιστά γραμματολογική κατηγορία και εάν ναι, πώς ένας τέτοιος ορισμός σχετίζεται με την πρωταγωνιστική παρουσία του άστεως, και εν προκειμένου της Αθήνας. Υπό το παραπάνω πρίσμα, η διπλωματική εργασία διατρέχει τη μεταπολιτευτική πεζογραφία, καθώς η λογοτεχνία διέβλεψε πολύ πρώιμα τα στοιχεία που οδηγούσαν σε κρίση τη μεταπολιτευτική ελληνική κοινωνία, εξετάζοντας και παράλληλα συγκροτώντας μία γενεαλογία της λογοτεχνίας της κρίσης, όσον αφορά την πεζογραφική παραγωγή. Το καίριο ζητούμενο είναι το καινούριο στοιχείο που φέρνει η λογοτεχνία της κρίσης, η τομή που θέλει να προκαλέσει στην ελληνική κοινωνία και η αλλαγή στο αστικό τοπίο, με σημείο αναφοράς την πόλη της Αθήνας
description: The postgraduate dissertation "The city of Athens in the Literature of crisis" explores the theme of the crisis in literary events and especially the literary presence of the city. The dissertation moves in the field of Comparative Literature and opens the topic of the literature of crisis towards synchrony namely on literary texts in which the city is the protagonist as in the books Torch in the mouth of Ch.Chrisopoulos, Victoria doesn’t exist of G.Tsirmpas, Stone, scissors, paper of N.Mantis and The extreme humiliation of R.Galanaki. The axis of the research is the question whether the subject of the crisis constitutes a literary category and if so, how such a definition is associated with the leading presence of the city, and specifically of Athens. In the above context, the dissertation runs the Greek regime change literature as literature saw very early data that led the Greek society to the crisis, while considering and setting up one genealogy of the literature of crisis in terms of prose production. The main question is the new element that the literature of crisis brings, the turnover that wants to cause to the Greek society and the change in the urban landscape, with reference to the city of Athens

description: Detailed analysis of seizure semiology, the symptoms and signs which occur during a seizure, is critical for management of epilepsy patients. Inter-rater reliability using qualitative visual analysis is often poor for semiological features. Therefore, automatic and quantitative analysis of video-recorded seizures is needed for objective assessment. We present GESTURES, a novel architecture combining convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to learn deep representations of arbitrarily long videos of epileptic seizures. We use a spatiotemporal CNN (STCNN) pre-trained on large human action recognition (HAR) datasets to extract features from short snippets (approx. 0.5 s) sampled from seizure videos. We then train an RNN to learn seizure-level representations from the sequence of features. We curated a dataset of seizure videos from 68 patients and evaluated GESTURES on its ability to classify seizures into focal onset seizures (FOSs) (N = 106) vs. focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (TCSs) (N = 77), obtaining an accuracy of 98.9% using bidirectional long short-term memory (BLSTM) units. We demonstrate that an STCNN trained on a HAR dataset can be used in combination with an RNN to accurately represent arbitrarily long videos of seizures. GESTURES can provide accurate seizure classification by modeling sequences of semiologies.

description: We derive a general expression for the threshold resummation of transverse momentum distributions for processes with a colorless final state, by suitably generalizing the renormalization-group based approach to threshold resummation previously pursued by two of us. The ensuing expression holds to all logarithmic orders, and it can be used to extend available results in the literature, which only hold up to the next-to-leading log (NLL) level. We check agreement of our result with the existing NLL result, as well as against the known fixed next-to-leading order results for the Higgs transverse momentum distribution in gluon fusion, and we provide explicit expressions at the next-to-next-to-leading log level.
