Soriculus minor

description: Soriculus minor Dobson, 1890 (Fig.6; Table 1)
Soriculus minor Dobson, 1890: pl.xxiv. Type locality: Manipur, Assam.
Soriculus radulus Tomas, 1922: 429. Type locality: Misimi Hills, Assam.
Suggested common name: Lesser large-clawed shrew; ẇkmŧ Dzẽē.
Type locality: Manipur, Assam.
Remarks: This is the smallest species in the genus Soriculus (W = 8.9 ± 1.2 g, HB = 74 ± 1 mm; Table 1). The dorsal pelage is dark brown to black, and ventral pelage slightly paler. Tail is short (TL = 37 ± 4 mm, range 31–43 mm; Table 1), averaging 52% of head and body length. The tail is not sharply bicoloured, dark brown above and paler below. Foreclaws are markedly enlarged. The species externally somewhat similar in appearance to the sympatric species Blarinella wardi Thomas, 1915, but the latter has five upper unicuspids, and all teeth are heavily pigmented dark chestnut or black.
The skull is distinctly smaller than in other Soriculus species, and the posterior of the skull is angular rather than rounded. The apex of the first upper incisor is placed straight downwards. There are four upper unicuspids that are crowded together. Four upper unicuspids (U 1 –U 4) are present; U 1 is largest in size, U 2 is slightly larger than U 3 and U 4 is minute. Pigmentation of the teeth is very light, only present on the tips of the teeth, and much lighter than those of other Soriculus species.
Comments: Soriculus minor was first described by Dobson (1890), but it was not subsequently used as a valid name. Motokawa (2003) demonstrated that S. minor should be used as the senior synonym of S. radulus. It was then treated as a subspecies of S. nigrescens, although many authors have pointed out that it is distinctly smaller (Hoffmann 1985, Jenkins 2013). Jiang et al. (2023) found the sequences of S. n. minor (clade YN) do not form a monophyletic group with S. nigrescens, proposing instead that S. minor may represent a new genus. Our results indicated S. minor is a distinct species of Soriculus.
Distribution: Soriculus minor is distributed in Bhutan, northeastern India, northern Myanmar, and south-western China (southern Tibet and north-western Yunnan, west of Salween River) (Jenkins 2013, Burgin and He 2018). The known elevational range is 1400 m to 2630 m a.s.l.

description: Ο σκοπός της εργασίας είναι να επιτευχθεί ελεγχόμενη αποδέσμευση του φαρμάκου Raloxifene HCl από νανοσωματίδια των συμπολυμερών PESu/PPAd. Η ενθυλάκωση του φαρμάκου στα συμπολυμερή έγινε με την τεχνική της ανάμειξης σε τήγμα, καθότι το φάρμακο παρουσίαζε πολύ μικρή διαλυτότητα σε κοινούς διαλύτες. Οι μελέτες διαλυτότητας του φαρμάκου έδειξαν ότι τελικά διαλύεται σε σύστημα νερού/ακετόνης και μάλιστα η διαλυτότητα του είναι χίλιες φορές μεγαλύτερη γι'αυτό το σύστημα σε σχέση με τη διαλυτότητα σε άλλους διαλύτες, όπως αναφέρεται στη βιβλιογραφία. Η διάλυση του φαρμάκου επέτρεψε την ενθυλάκωση του σε νανοσωματίδια των συμπολυμερών, η οποία επιτεύχθηκε με την τεχνική της συγκαταβύθισης.
description: The purpose of this study is the controlled release of the drug Raloxifene HCl from nanoparticles of co-polyesters PESu/PPAd. Drug encaptulation was carried out with the technique of melt-mixxing because common solvents couldn't dilute the drug. Solubility tests of the drug showed finally that it can be dissolved in a mixture of water/acetone. Furthermore, the solubility of the drug was a thousand times bigger for this solvent, than other solvents in bibliography. So, diluted drug could be encapsulated in co-polymer nanoparticles. Nanocapsulation of the drug was carried out with co-precipitation technique.

Ως μονομερή χρησιμοποιήθηκαν γ 1,3-προπανοδιόλη και ένα αλειφατικό δικαρβοξυλικό οξύ. Σκοπός της εργασίας ήταν να επιτευχθεί η ενθυλάκωση του φαρμάκου Ropinirile σε νανοσωματίδια των παραπάνω πολυεστέρων, καθώς και η ελεγχόμενη αποδέσμευση του φαρμάκου από τα νανοσωματίδια. Στο πρώτο στάδιο της εργασίας έγινε η σύνθεση των πολυμερών και ο χαρακτηρισμός τους. Επίσης μελετήθηκε και η συμπεριφορά των πολυεστέρων στην ενζυμική υδρόλυση. Στο δεύτερο στάδιο έγινε η νανοενθυλάκωση του φαρμάκου, ο χαρακτηρισμός των νανοσωματιδίων και η μελέτη της αποδέσμευσης του φαρμάκου.
description: In the frames of postdoctoral thesis, seven different aliphatic polyesters were prepared (PPSuc, PPGlu, PPAd, PPPim, PPSub, PPAz and PPSeb). 1,3-propanediol and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid were used as monomers. The purpose of the study was the eucaptulation of drug Ropinirole in nanoparticles of the above polyesters, as long as the controlled drug release from nanoparticles. During the first stage of the study, synthesis and characterization of polyesters were carried out. Moreover, biodegradability of polyesters was studied. At the second stage, nanoencapsulation of the drug, nanoparticle characterization and the study of drug release were carried out.

description: Hand pointing and eye gaze have been extensively investigated in automotive applications for object selection and referencing. Despite significant advances, existing outside-the-vehicle referencing methods consider these modalities separately. Moreover, existing multimodal referencing methods focus on a static situation, whereas the situation in a moving vehicle is highly dynamic and subject to safety-critical constraints. In this paper, we investigate the specific characteristics of each modality and the interaction between them when used in the task of referencing outside objects (e.g. buildings) from the vehicle. We furthermore explore person-specific differences in this interaction by analyzing individuals' performance for pointing and gaze patterns, along with their effect on the driving task. Our statistical analysis shows significant differences in individual behaviour based on object's location (i.e. driver's right side vs. left side), object's surroundings, driving mode (i.e. autonomous vs. normal driving) as well as pointing and gaze duration, laying the foundation for a user-adaptive approach.

Ο σκοπός αυτής της έρευνας ήταν να εξετάσει τις στάσεις των καθηγητών Φυσικής Αγωγής απέναντι στην ένταξη των μαθητών με αναπηρίες στο μάθημα της Φυσικής Αγωγής στα πλαίσια του τυπικού σχολείου. 255 καθηγητές Φυσικής Αγωγής (130 άνδρες και 125 γυναίκες), συμπλήρωσαν μία τροποποιημένη έκδοση του Ερωτηματολογίου «Attitudes Τoward Teaching Individuals with Physical Disabilities in Physical Education» (ATIPDPE) του Kudlacek (2002) καθώς και ένα ερωτηματολόγιο με τα δημογραφικά στοιχεία των συμμετεχόντων. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν θετικές στάσεις όλων των καθηγητών απέναντι στη διδασκαλία μαθητών με αναπηρία στις τάξεις Φυσικής Αγωγής. Δεν υπήρχαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές σε σχέση με το φύλο και μεταξύ των καθηγητών που δίδασκαν στα ειδικά προγράμματα και των καθηγητών που δίδασκαν στα γενικά προγράμματα. Τα αποτελέσματα αυτά είναι σύμφωνα με τη σύγχρονη βιβλιογραφία, υπάρχει όμως αναγκαιότητα για συνεχή ενημέρωση για την εξέλιξη της εκπαίδευσης των ατόμων με αναπηρία και της ένταξής τους στο τυπικό σχολείο και πως αυτή επηρεάζει τη στάση των καθηγητών.
description: During the last years in Greece, in the programmes of mass sports, programmes happen for special population, which the purpose of them is to incorporate people with disabilities in sports. The purpose of this study was to examine the attitudes of Physical Educators toward the inclusion of students with disabilities in regular Physical Education classes. 255 Physical Education teachers (130 male and 125 female) completed a modified version of the questionnaire "Attitudes toward Teaching Individuals with Physical Disabilities in Physical Education" (ATIPDPE) of Kudlacek et al (2002) and a second questionnaire with demographic data of the participants. There were no significant differences between physical educators who taught in the special and the general programmes. The results revealed positive attitudes of all teachers toward teaching students with disabilities in Physical Education classes, however, there were no significant differences between males and females and as well as those who teach different Physical Education courses. These results are consistent with the current literature, however it is strongly suggested an ongoing assessment should examine the changes in education of people with disabilities and their inclusion in the typical classes and how these affect the attitudes of Physical Education teachers.

description: We present the first results from the Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS), which consist of deep radio observations of a 3.7 square degree field surrounding the Chandra Deep Field South, largely coincident with the infrared Spitzer Wide-Area Extragalactic (SWIRE) Survey. We also list cross-identifications to infrared and optical photometry data from SWIRE, and ground-based optical spectroscopy. A total of 784 radio components are identified, corresponding to 726 distinct radio sources, nearly all of which are identified with SWIRE sources. Of the radio sources with measured redshifts, most lie in the redshift range 0.5-2, and include both star-forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN). We identify a rare population of infrared-faint radio sources which are bright at radio wavelengths but are not seen in the available optical, infrared, or X-ray data. Such rare classes of sources can only be discovered in wide, deep surveys such as this.

description: The Lasserre's reconstruction algorithm is extended to the D-polytopes with the construction of their shape space. Thus, the areas of d-skeletons $(1\leq d\leq D)$ can be expressed as functions of the areas and normal bi-vectors of the (D-1)-faces of D-polytopes. As weak solutions of the simplicity constraints in all dimensional loop quantum gravity, the simple coherent intertwiners are employed to describe semiclassical D-polytopes. New general geometric operators based on D-polytopes are proposed by using the Lasserre's reconstruction algorithm and the coherent intertwiners. Such kind of geometric operators have expected semiclassical property by the definition. The consistent semiclassical limit with respect to the semiclassical D-polytopes can be obtained for the usual D-volume operator in all dimensional loop quantum gravity by fixing its undetermined regularization factor case by case.

Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας ήταν η διερεύνηση της επίδρασης του φύλου και της ενασχόλησης με τον αθλητισμό στην ικανότητα προσανατολισμού των παιδιών (αγοριών και κοριτσιών) ηλικίας 4-5 ετών. Στην έρευνα έλαβαν μέρος 400 παιδιά τα οποία αξιολογήθηκαν στην ικανότητα προσανατολισμού τους με τη μέθοδο Witeba-Test of Spatial Orientation (1979), η οποία περιελάμβανε μέτρηση της απόκλισης μετά από περπάτημα σε ευθεία 6m χωρίς οπτική επαφή σε δεξιά, αριστερή και ευθεία κατεύθυνση. Από τα αποτελέσματα φάνηκε πως δεν υπήρξαν διαφορές μεταξύ των δυο φύλων ή μεταξύ των παιδιών που ασχολούνταν ή όχι με τον αθλητισμό. Συμπερασματικά, από την παρούσα έρευνα φάνηκε πως η ικανότητα προσανατολισμού αποτελεί συγγενές χαρακτηριστικό που τουλάχιστον στη νηπιακή ηλικία δεν επηρεάζεται από τους παραπάνω παράγοντες.
description: The spatial orientation ability is an important skill for peoples' everyday life, as well as for their distinction when it comes to the sector of athleticism, which depends on many endogenous and extraneous factors. Target of the present project was the effect investigation of gender and athletic avocation in the ability of orientation of children (boys and girls) of age 4 to 5 years old. On this survey participated 400 children who were evaluated on their ability of orientation according to the "Witeba-Test of Spatial Orientation, (1979)" method, which encompassed divergence measurement after a walk on a 6m straight line without visual contact on right, left and direct orientation. The results presented the lack of differences between the two genders or between the children that did or did not participate in sports. By inference, from the present survey it appeared that the ability of orientation consists an inherent feature which at least during the early years is not affected by the above factors.

description: We study supersymmetric sectors at half-BPS boundaries and interfaces in the 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills with the gauge group $G$, which are described by associative algebras equipped with twisted traces. Such data are in one-to-one correspondence with an infinite set of defect correlation functions. We identify algebras and traces for known boundary conditions. Ward identities expressing the (twisted) periodicity of the trace highly constrain its structure, in many cases allowing for the complete solution. Our main examples in this paper are: the universal enveloping algebra $U(\mathfrak{g})$ with the trace describing the Dirichlet boundary conditions; and the finite W-algebra $\mathcal{W}(\mathfrak{g},t_+)$ with the trace describing the Nahm pole boundary conditions.

description: Let $M$ be a topological $G_2$-manifold. We prove that the space of infinitesimal associative deformations of a compact associative submanifold $Y$ with boundary in a coassociative submanifold $X$ is the solution space of an elliptic problem. For a connected boundary $\partial Y$ of genus $g$, the index is given by $\int_{\partial Y}c_1(ν_X)+1-g$, where $ν_X$ denotes the orthogonal complement of $T\partial Y$ in $TX_{|\partial Y}$ and $c_1(ν_X)$ the first Chern class of $ν_X$ with respect to its natural complex structure. Further, we exhibit explicit examples of non-trivial index.

A Census of Blue Stragglers in Gaia DR2 Open Clusters as a Test of Population Synthesis and Mass Transfer Physics

description: We use photometry and proper motions from Gaia DR2 to determine the blue straggler star (BSS) populations of 16 old (1-10 Gyr), nearby ($d< 3500$ pc) open clusters. We find that the fractional number of BSS compared to RGB stars increases with age, starting near zero at 1 Gyr and flattening to $\sim 0.35$ by 4 Gyr. Fitting stellar evolutionary tracks to these BSS, we find that their mass distribution peaks at a few tenths of a solar mass above the main-sequence turnoff. BSS more than 0.5 $M_\odot$ above the turnoff make up only $\sim25$\% of the sample, and BSS more than 1.0 $M_\odot$ above the turnoff are rare. We compare this to population synthesis models of BSS formed via mass transfer using the Compact Object Synthesis and Monte Carlo Investigation Code (COSMIC). We find that standard population synthesis assumptions dramatically under-produce the number of BSS in old open clusters. We also find that these models overproduce high mass BSS relative to lower mass BSS. Expected numbers of BSS formed through dynamics do not fully account for this discrepancy. We conclude that in order to explain the observed BSS populations from Roche lobe overflow, mass-transfer from giant donors must be more stable than assumed in canonical mass-transfer prescriptions, and including non-conservative mass transfer is important in producing realistic BSS masses. Even with these modifications, it is difficult to achieve the large number of BSS observed in the oldest open clusters. We discuss some additional physics that may explain the large number of observed blue stragglers among old stellar populations.

description: We identify many new solvable subcases of the general dynamical system characterized by two autonomous first-order ordinary differential equations with purely quadratic right-hand sides; the solvable character of these dynamical systems amounting to the possibility to obtain the solution of their initial value problem via algebraic operations. Equivalently---by considering the analytic continuation of these systems to complex time---their algebraically solvable character corresponds to the fact that their general solution is either singlevalued or features only a finite number of algebraic branch points as functions of complex time (the independent variable). Thus our results provide a major enlargement of the class of solvable systems beyond those with singlevalued general solution identified by Garnier about 60 years ago. An interesting property of several of these new dynamical systems is the elementary character of their general solution, identifiable as the roots of a polynomial with explicitly obtainable time-dependent coefficients. We also mention that, via a well-known time-dependent change of (dependent and independent) variables featuring the imaginary parameter $% \mathbf{i} ω$ (with $ω$ an arbitrary strictly positive real number), autonomous variants can be explicitly exhibited of each of the algebraically solvable models we identify: variants which all feature the remarkable property to be isochronous, i.e. their generic solution is periodic with a period that is a fixed integer multiple of the basic period $T=2π/ω$.

description: Clinical coding is an administrative process that involves the translation of diagnostic data from episodes of care into a standard code format such as ICD10. It has many critical applications such as billing and aetiology research. The automation of clinical coding is very challenging due to data sparsity, low interoperability of digital health systems, complexity of real-life diagnosis coupled with the huge size of ICD10 code space. Related work suffer from low applicability due to reliance on many data sources, inefficient modelling and less generalizable solutions. We propose a novel collaborative residual learning based model to automatically predict ICD10 codes employing only prescriptions data. Extensive experiments were performed on two real-world clinical datasets (outpatient & inpatient) from Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital with real case-mix distributions. We obtain multi-label classification accuracy of 0.71 and 0.57 of average precision, 0.57 and 0.38 of F1-score and 0.73 and 0.44 of accuracy in predicting principal diagnosis for inpatient and outpatient datasets respectively.

A study of the traditional governance of the Gitxsan : its relevance today
Creators: name: Wright, Maisie Helen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: After a century of being prohibited from any political or cultural expression, Native people are now finally able to do so. The Indian Act was the mechanism through which assimilation policies were enforced, prohibiting any use of a traditional government system, a system which was inseparable from spiritual, cultural, and family ideals and values. Fortunately, however, segments of the traditional system have remained despite stripping its political powers at the community level. Native communities today are in various states of despair because of the century long victimization. This is shown statistically in higher rates of suicide, substance abuse, and family violence. The human rights violations have gradually lessened as more and more freedoms are given to them for self-determination. Within this setting of greater freedom, an expression of their traditional system as a form of self-government is a goal for most Native communities. A century of demoralizing suppression of the traditional system, however, has an impact on the successful implementation of an ancient system today. The destruction of the spiritual belief as a base for this ancient system, creates challenges in adapting it today. This thesis will identify and analyze the challenges in adapting an ancient political system to meet today's aboriginal community needs, using the Gitxsan nation as a case study. In researching these challenges, the writer began by studying the features of the traditional system, focusing on its political functions. Then an analysis of the effects of the Indian Act and its assimilation policies on the political features of the traditional system is closely examined. The writer goes a step further and identifies a planning task with options which could be considered in adapting an ancient system to meet today's societal and community needs, as an incentive for grassroots people of the Gitxsan nation to continue the planning process.

description: Η εργασία ξεκινάει με μια εισαγωγή στην έννοια της ποιότητας, της διαχείρισης ποιότητας. Γίνεται αναφορά στον οργανισμό ISO και στη συνέχεια γίνεται μια περιγραφή των προτύπων. Στόχος είναι να έχει ο αναγνώστης μια εικόνα για την πρακτική διαδικασία που ακολουθείται για την πιστοποίηση ενός οργανισμού.Ακολουθεί επισκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας / αρθρογραφίας γύρω από την εφαρμογή του ISO 9000 στον εκπαιδευτικό τομέα και αναλύονται ορισμένα σημεία που απασχολούν τους μελετητές.Παρουσιάζονται μελέτες περίπτωσης της εφαρμογής του προτύπου στην Ευρώπη, συγκεκριμένα στην Αγγλία και περιγράφεται η περίπτωση ενός πανεπιστημίου στη Ρουμανία. Σκόπιμα επιλέχθηκαν δύο χώρες με σημαντικές διαφορές στο επίπεδο διαβίωσης και στην κοινωνική κουλτούρα, για να μελετηθεί το θέμα από δύο διαφορετικές σκοπιές που όμως τελικά καταλήγουν στο ίδιο συμπέρασμα. Γίνεται η περιγραφή των διαδικασιών που ακολουθήθηκαν για την πιστοποίηση ενός ιδιωτικού σχολείου στη Θεσσαλονίκη, σύμφωνα με το πρότυπο ISO 9001:2000. Τέλος κατατίθεται μία καινοτόμος πρόταση που αφορά την πιστοποίηση ενός μεταπτυχιακού προγράμματος σπουδών στο Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης.
description: The study begins with a general view of the significance of quality, and total quality management. Then follows a report for ISO organization and afterwards a description of ISO 9000 models. The objective is to give a brief image of the practical steps that are required for accreditation through ISO 9000. Next there is a broader review of bibliography about the application of ISO 9000 in the educational sector and certain points that occupy the students are analyzed. Some case studies of ISO application are presented. These took place in Europe, most of them in England and in Romania. Deliberately these two countries have been selected for this study because they have important economic and social differences. Despite these two different viewpoints both of them lead to the same conclusion. Afterwards there is a description of ISO 9001:2000implementation in a private school in Greece.Finally an innovative proposal is stated which concerns the certification of postgraduate program in the Aristotelian University Thessalonica.

description: We have analysed ground-based multi-colour Stromgren photometry and single-filter photometry from the star tracker on the WIRE satellite of the delta scuti star Epsilon Cephei. The ground-based data set consists of 16 nights of data collected over 164 days, while the satellite data are nearly continuous coverage of the star during 14 days. The spectral window and noise level of the satellite data are superior to the ground-based data and this data set is used to locate the frequencies. However, we can use the ground-based data to improve the accuracy of the frequencies due to the much longer time baseline. We detect 26 oscillation frequencies in the WIRE data set, but only some of these can be seen clearly in the ground-based data. We have used the multi-colour ground-based photometry to determine amplitude and phase differences in the Stromgren b-y colour and the y filter in an attempt to identify the radial degree of the oscillation frequencies. We conclude that the accuracies of the amplitudes and phases are not sufficient to constrain theoretical models of Epsilon Cephei. We find no evidence for rotational splitting or the large separation among the frequencies detected in the WIRE data set. To be able to identify oscillation frequencies in delta scuti stars with the method we have applied, it is crucial to obtain more complete coverage from multi-site campaigns with a long time baseline and in multiple filters. This is important when planning photometric and spectroscopic ground-based support for future satellite missions like COROT and KEPLER.

description: Τα προβλήματα που αντιμετωπίζουν οι έφηβοι με ειδικές ανάγκες δεν αφορούν μόνο στις περιορισμένες δυνατότητές τους, αλλά επεκτείνονται και σε έναν ακόμη εξίσου σημαντικό τομέα, αυτόν της συνύπαρξης και αποδοχής από τους γύρω. Η κοινωνική τους ενσωμάτωση εξαρτάται σε μεγάλο βαθμό από τον τρόπο που τους αντιμετωπίζει το περιβάλλον και που πηγάζει από τις προσωπικές εμπειρίες και τα βιώματα που «κουβαλάει» ο καθένας μας. Τα τελευταία χρόνια οι παραδοσιακές θεωρίες (Μπιχεβιορισμός, Εξελικτική Ψυχολογία) που ασχολούνται με το φαινόμενο της μάθησης και της προσωπικής ανάπτυξης τίθενται υπό αμφισβήτηση. Η προσοχή τώρα στρέφεται από μία μηχανιστική αντίληψη σε μία βιωματική και επικοινωνιακή προσέγγιση της μάθησης. Σε όλες τις βαθμίδες της εκπαίδευσης εισάγονται έννοιες και πρακτικές όπως «βίωμα», «βιωματική εμπειρία» ή «βιωματική μάθηση» (Μπακιρτζής, «Το βίωμα και η σημασία του», προς δημοσίευση).Η βιωματική εκπαίδευση δεν είναι αποτελεί μια γνώση που αναπαράγεται βιβλιογραφικά. Οι δομικές αλλαγές της κοινωνίας και οι σύγχρονες απαιτήσεις της προϋποθέτουν την εφαρμογή εκπαιδευτικών αρχών και μεθόδων ενεργητικής μάθησης και προσωπικής ανάπτυξης που στοχεύουν στον κριτικό στοχασμό, στη δημιουργική διαχείριση των εμπειριών και στην αποτελεσματικότερη προσαρμογή του ατόμου στο κοινωνικό γίγνεσθαι. Η σχέση μεταξύ εκπαιδευτικού-εκπαιδευόμενου είναι αποτέλεσμα ανταλλαγής, επικοινωνίας, συνεργατικότητας και αποδοχής, που επηρεάζεται τόσο από εσωτερικούς παράγοντες (συναισθήματα), όσο και από εξωτερικούς παράγοντες (σχέσεις που αναπτύσσονται μεταξύ των μελών της ομάδας). Η στάση λοιπόν του εκπαιδευτικού δεν αποκτάται μέσα από τη στείρα μάθηση και τη γνώση θεωριών και μεθόδων αλλά μέσα από την εμπειρία και το βίωμα (Μπακιρτζής, 2002).Η μορφή της επικοινωνίας που αναπτύσσεται στα πλαίσια της παραπάνω σχέσης εξετάζεται μέσα από το πρίσμα της μη κατευθυντικής παρεμβατικότητας του Michel Lobrot και της γνησιότητας, της ενσυναίσθησης και της ανεπιφύλακτα θετικής αποδοχής του Carl Rogers. Οι μεθοδολογικές αρχές και τεχνικές της εμψύχωσης που εφαρμόστηκαν στη συγκεκριμένη έρευνα βασίζονται στη μεθοδολογική πρόταση του κ. Μπακιρτζή όπως αναφέρεται στο βιβλίο του «Επικοινωνία και Αγωγή» (2002).

Interpretation of apparent thermal conductivity in finite systems from equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations

description: We propose a way to properly interpret the apparent thermal conductivity obtained for finite systems using equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations (EMD) with fixed or open boundary conditions in the transport direction. In such systems the heat current autocorrelation function develops negative values after a correlation time which is proportional to the length of the simulation cell in the transport direction. Accordingly, the running thermal conductivity develops a maximum value at the same correlation time and eventually decays to zero. By comparing EMD with nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations, we conclude that the maximum thermal conductivity from EMD in a system with domain length 2L is equal to the thermal conductivity from NEMD in a system with domain length L. This facilitates the use of nonperiodic-boundary EMD for thermal transport in finite samples in close correspondence to NEMD.

Fast multi-labelling in early vision

description: Multi-labelling algorithms are widely used in solving early vision problems. These early vision problems, which include image segmentation, stereo correspondence estimation, etc., are of fundamental importance in computer vision research and applications. Solving a multi-label problem is in general NP-hard. Despite the notable success in the development of multi-labelling algorithms in recent years, heavy computation is still required especially when the size of the problem becomes large, which makes multi-labelling in general a slow process. The limitation in efficiency bottlenecks the availability of multi-labelling algorithms for practical applications and scientific research. This thesis aims to improve the situation via significantly elevating the solving speed of multi-labelling problems in early vision applications. - provided by Candidate.

Kinetics of Domain Growth and Aging in a Two-Dimensional Off-lattice System

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We have used molecular dynamics simulations for a comprehensive study of phase separation in a two-dimensional single component off-lattice model where particles interact through the Lennard-Jones potential. Via state-of-the-art methods we have analyzed simulation data on structure, growth and aging for nonequilibrium evolutions in the model. These data were obtained following quenches of well-equilibrated homogeneous configurations, with density close to the critical value, to various temperatures inside the miscibility gap, having vapor-"liquid" as well as vapor-"solid" coexistence. For the vapor-liquid phase separation we observe that $\ell$, the average domain length, grows with time ($t$) as $t^{1/2}$, a behavior that has connection with hydrodynamics. At low enough temperature, a sharp crossover of this time dependence to a much slower, temperature dependent, growth is identified within the time scale of our simulations, implying "solid"-like final state of the high density phase. This crossover is, interestingly, accompanied by strong differences in domain morphology and other structural aspects between the two situations. For aging, we have presented results for the order-parameter autocorrelation function. This quantity exhibits data-collapse with respect to $\ell/\ell_w$, $\ell$ and $\ell_w$ being the average domain lengths at times $t$ and $t_w$ ($\leq t$), respectively, the latter being the age of a system. Corresponding scaling function follows a power-law decay: $~\sim (\ell/\ell_w)^{-λ}$, for $t\gg t_w$. The decay exponent $λ$, for the vapor-liquid case, is accurately estimated via the application of an advanced finite-size scaling method. The obtained value is observed to satisfy a bound.

A change of variable formula with Itô correction term

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We consider the solution $u(x,t)$ to a stochastic heat equation. For fixed $x$, the process $F(t)=u(x,t)$ has a nontrivial quartic variation. It follows that $F$ is not a semimartingale, so a stochastic integral with respect to $F$ cannot be defined in the classical Itô sense. We show that for sufficiently differentiable functions $g(x,t)$, a stochastic integral $\int g(F(t),t)\,dF(t)$ exists as a limit of discrete, midpoint-style Riemann sums, where the limit is taken in distribution in the Skorokhod space of cadlag functions. Moreover, we show that this integral satisfies a change of variable formula with a correction term that is an ordinary Itô integral with respect to a Brownian motion that is independent of $F$.

description: When we first developed the original version of the “Baby Bonds” proposal toward the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the motivation was our perception of the timidity of the Obama administration about implementing policies that were designed specifically to improve the condition of Black Americans. The only significant Black-specific program introduced under Obama’s presidency was “My Brother’s Keeper,” a project based upon the premises of Black male dysfunction and Black family pathology. Instead, we sought to design a plan intended for all Americans—what can be described as a universal program rather than a Black-specific program—that might have a disproportionate benefit for Black Americans.
