description: Η συγκεκριμένη διπλωματική εργασία έχει ως στόχο την παρακολούθηση της εξέλιξης της ευημερίας των γυναικών στην Ελλάδα από το 2001, ένταξη της χώρας στη ζώνη του ευρώ, έως σήμερα. Η συγκεκριμένη χρονική περίοδος παρουσιάζει ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον αν λάβουμε υπόψη, πως εκτός από την αλλαγή του νομίσματος, ήρθε αντιμέτωπη η χώρα και με μία πολύ ισχυρή κρίση χρέους, την οποία ακόμα βιώνουμε, που θα συμβάλλει στη μεταβολή των αναμενόμενων αποτελεσμάτων της έρευνας. Η παρούσα εργασία χωρίζεται σε δύο θεματικές ενότητες. Στην πρώτη, γίνεται μία προσπάθεια κατανόησης της έννοιας της ευημερίας. Προσδιορίζεται εννοιολογικά, ταξινομείται και αναφερόμαστε στις θεωρητικές προσεγγίσεις και στον τρόπο μέτρησής της. Η μέτρηση της ευημερίας γίνεται με τη βοήθεια επιλεγμένων δεικτών. Στη δεύτερη ενότητα προσπαθούμε να παρατηρήσουμε την εξέλιξη της ευημερίας των γυναικών στην Ελλάδα, με τη βοήθεια αυτών των δεικτών. Τέλος, οδηγούμαστε σε κάποια συμπεράσματα, τα οποία συνοψίζουν το αποτέλεσμα που έχει επέλθει στην ευημερία των γυναικών στην Ελλάδα, με βάση τους παραπάνω δείκτες, αλλά και τις ιδιαιτερότητες του υπό εξέταση χρονικού διαστήματος.
description: This project aims to monitor the evolution of the women’s well-being in Greece since 2001, when the country joined the euro, until today. This period is particularly interesting if we consider that apart from the changeover to euro, the country was faced with a very strong debt crisis, which still experiencing, that will contribute to the change of the expected results of the research. This paper is divided into two sections. In the first, we make an attempt to understand the meaning of well-being. It is defined, classified and we refer to theoretical approaches and to the options given to measure it. In order to measure the well-being, we can use some selected indicators. In the second section, we try to observe the evolution of the welfare of women in Greece, with the help of these indicators. Finally, we reach to some conclusions, which summarize the result that has come to the well-being of women in Greece, based on the above indicators and on the particularities of the period that we examine.

description: Control of batch processes is a difficult task due to their complex nonlinear dynamics and unsteady-state operating conditions within batch and batch-to-batch. It is expected that some of these challenges can be addressed by developing control strategies that directly interact with the process and learning from experiences. Recent studies in the literature have indicated the advantage of having an ensemble of actors in actor-critic Reinforcement Learning (RL) frameworks for improving the policy. The present study proposes an actor-critic RL algorithm, namely, twin actor twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TATD3), by incorporating twin actor networks in the existing twin-delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (TD3) algorithm for the continuous control. In addition, two types of novel reward functions are also proposed for TATD3 controller. We showcase the efficacy of the TATD3 based controller for various batch process examples by comparing it with some of the existing RL algorithms presented in the literature.

Singular Eigenfunctions of Calogero-Sutherland Type Systems and How to Transform Them into Regular Ones

description: There exists a large class of quantum many-body systems of Calogero-Sutherland type where all particles can have different masses and coupling constants and which nevertheless are such that one can construct a complete (in a certain sense) set of exact eigenfunctions and corresponding eigenvalues, explicitly. Of course there is a catch to this result: if one insists on these eigenfunctions to be square integrable then the corresponding Hamiltonian is necessarily non-hermitean (and thus provides an example of an exactly solvable PT-symmetric quantum-many body system), and if one insists on the Hamiltonian to be hermitean then the eigenfunctions are singular and thus not acceptable as quantum mechanical eigenfunctions. The standard Calogero-Sutherland Hamiltonian is special due to the existence of an integral operator which allows to transform these singular eigenfunctions into regular ones.

description: According to Bell's theorem a large class of hidden-variable models obeying Bell's notion of local causality conflict with the predictions of quantum mechanics. Recently, a Bell-type theorem has been proven using a weaker notion of local causality, yet assuming the existence of perfectly correlated event types. Here we present a similar Bell-type theorem without this latter assumption. The derived inequality differs from the Clauser-Horne inequality by some small correction terms, which render it less constraining.

We calculate, the variation of the chemical potential and the energy per particle as a function of temperature by assuming the system to be an ideal gas obeying the Haldane-Wu fractional exclusion statistics. Our results for the untrapped gas compare favourably with the recently published Monte Carlo calculations of two groups. For a harmonically trapped gas, the results agree with experiment, and also with other published work.

description: The portrayal of women in advertisements has evolved over the years, with a shift towards showcasing their strengths andabilities. However, there is still a long way to go as many ads continue to objectify women and perpetuate stereotypes.Advertisers need to be more mindful of the messages they are sending out and ensure that their ads are inclusive and diverse.There is a huge scope for the portrayal of women in advertisements, which can help in breaking stereotypes and empoweringwomen. Today the advertising industry is one among the fastest growing industries not only in our country but across the world.Every company, institution and services take the help of advertisement to make the people aware of the product.Advertisements not only inform people about the availability of the product in the market but also help in creating a need for theproduct in the mind of viewers. They also help in building a brand image and creating a niche for the same in the market.Customers have a large selection to pick from because similar products made by various companies are readily available on themarket. Every business in this situation wants to advertise its goods in a way that will draw in increasing numbers of customersto purchase it. As a result, they employ commercials to promote their product. Depending on the budget a company or clientgives an advertising agency, advertisements can take on a variety of shapes and sizes. These companies create theadvertisements for their clients while keeping in mind the product's target market. They choose the type of advertisement thatwould be appropriate for the product and the location.

description: Supersolidity is deeply connected with the emergence of Goldstone modes, reflecting the spontaneous breaking of both phase and translational symmetry. Here, we propose accessible signatures of these modes in harmonically trapped spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensates, where supersolidity appears in the form of stripes. By suddenly changing the trapping frequency, an axial breathing oscillation is generated, whose behavior changes drastically at the critical Raman coupling. Above the transition, a single mode of hybridized density and spin nature is excited, while below it, we predict a beating effect signaling the excitation of a Goldstone spin-dipole mode. We further provide evidence for the Goldstone mode associated with the translational motion of stripes. Our results open up new perspectives for probing supersolid properties in experimentally relevant configurations with both symmetric as well as highly asymmetric intraspecies interactions.

description: We study the typical case properties of the 1-in-3 satisfiability problem, the boolean satisfaction problem where a clause is satisfied by exactly one literal, in an enlarged random ensemble parametrized by average connectivity and probability of negation of a variable in a clause. Random 1-in-3 Satisfiability and Exact 3-Cover are special cases of this ensemble. We interpolate between these cases from a region where satisfiability can be typically decided for all connectivities in polynomial time to a region where deciding satisfiability is hard, in some interval of connectivities. We derive several rigorous results in the first region, and develop the one-step--replica-symmetry-breaking cavity analysis in the second one. We discuss the prediction for the transition between the almost surely satisfiable and the almost surely unsatisfiable phase, and other structural properties of the phase diagram, in light of cavity method results.

description: Regression adjustments are often made to experimental data. Since randomization does not justify the models, bias is likely; nor are the usual variance calculations to be trusted. Here, we evaluate regression adjustments using Neyman's nonparametric model. Previous results are generalized, and more intuitive proofs are given. A bias term is isolated, and conditions are given for unbiased estimation in finite samples.

description: In this paper we study the object SDSS J1130+0058 which is the only AGN known to have both double-peaked low-ionization broad emission lines, and also X-shaped radio structures. Emission from an accretion disk can reproduce the double-peaked line profile of broad H$α$, but not the radio structure. Under the accretion disk model, the period of the inner emission line region is about 230 years. Using a new method to subtract the stellar component from the data of the SDSS DR4, we obtain an internal reddening factor which is less than previously found. The implied smaller amount of dust disfavors the backflow model for the X-shaped radio structure. The presence of a Binary Black Hole (BBH) system is the most natural way to explain ${\it both}$ the optical and radio properties of this AGN. Under the assumption of the BBH model, we can estimate the BBH system has a separation of less than 0.04 pc with a period less than 59 years, this may pose some problem to the BLRs sizes, still we conclude that the BBH model is favored on the basis of the present limited information.

The targum (1980: Feb. 1 - 1980:Feb. 29)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1980

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Gapless Bosonic Excitation without symmetry breaking: Novel Algebraic Spin liquid with soft Gravitons
Creators: name: Xu, Cenke
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A novel quantum ground state of matter is realized in a bosonic model on three dimensional fcc lattice with emergent low energy excitations. The novel phase obtained is a stable gapless boson liquid phase, with algebraic boson density correlations. The stability of this phase is protected against the instanton effect and superfluidity by self-duality and large gauge symmetries on both sides of the duality. The gapless collective excitations of this phase closely resemble the graviton, although they have a soft $ω\sim k^2$ dispersion relation. There are three branches of gapless excitations in this phase, one of which is gapless scalar trace mode, the other two have the same polarization and gauge symmetries as the gravitons. The dynamics of this novel phase is described by a new set of Maxwell's equations. The defects carrying gauge charges can drive the system into the superfluid order when the defects are condensed; also the topological defects are coupled to the dual gauge field in the same manner as the charge defects couple to the original gauge field, after the condensation of the topological defects, the system is driven into the Mott Insulator phase. In the 2 dimensional case, the gapless soft graviton as well as the algebraic liquid phase are destroyed by the vertex operators in the dual theory, and the stripe order is most likely to take place close to the 2 dimensional quantum critical point at which the vertex operators are tuned to zero.

Stress-induced expression of a parsley gene encoding 4-coumarate:CoA-ligase
Creators: name: Ellard, Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Many of the diverse end-products of the phenyipropanoid pathway play an important role in the response of plants to environmental stresses such as wounding and pathogen attack. A key enzyme in the general phenylpropanoid pathway is 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) which catalyses the formation of activated esters of hydroxycinnamic acids. Expression of the parsley genes encoding this enzyme is increased in response to wounding or challenge with a fungal elicitor from Phytophthora megasperma. Using a number different systems I have investigated the stress response of parsley 4 CL. Using transgenic tobacco as a heterologous system to study the wound response, I showed that the same fragment of the 4 CL-1 promoter mediates wound-responsiveness and a strong response to exogenously applied methyl jasmonate. The 4 CL-1 promoter also mediates responsiveness to linolenic acid, from which jasmonates are synthesised via a lipoxygenase mediated step. In parsley cells in suspension culture, linolenic acid also activates 4CL expression, and expression of a number of phenyipropanoid and other defense-related genes is induced by jasmonates in this system. A similar response to jasmonates is observed in whole parsley plants. Jasmonate treatment of parsley cells activates the expression of genes of the furanocoumarin specific branch pathway of phenylpropanoid metabolism and results in secretion of furanocoumarins (which are known phytoalexins in parsley) by the cell cultures. In the presence of an inhibitor of lipoxygenase activity, n-propylgallate, the response of 4CL to stress was decreased in both systems suggesting that de novo synthesis of jasmonates may be required for these stress responses. This suggests that jasmonates may mediate the stress responses of 4CL and other defense-related genes In transgenic Arabidopsis, the parsley 4 CL-1 promoter is responsive to endogenously generated wound signals and directed strong localised expression of the reporter gene GUS at wound-sites. This may provide the basis for a genetic screen to identify genes whose products are necessary for the wound response of 4 CL-1.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the presentation of the study that we carried out under the subject of childhood bilingualism in mixed families. More specifically, we studied Greek-French families in Greece and in France. Using as sample the parents of these families, we examined the use of the two languages within the family, the language skills of the children in their weak language, the attitudes of parents towards this language and bilingualism, their practices to reinforce the language and finally, their perceptions of their own responsibility in the transfer and preservation of language. The research has shown how crucial is the role of parents in the development of childhood bilingualism, but at the same time, the support they also need in their efforts to raise bilingual children; support that starts from the husband / wife, is expanded through the existence of the same linguistic community and culminates in the institutional support of their language.

It is also argued that the field of rhetoric—as a body of theory, ideas, and methods for interpreting the persuasive use of language—can assist human geographers in their attempts to interpret landscapes. These positions are put to work in a study of the promotion of tourist landscapes by the British Columbia government. Two time periods are examined: first, presentations of landscape during the 1920s and 1930s, and second the 1970s and 1980s. These periods are similar in that they are periods of transition—periods in which the tourism industry underwent significant change. The first period is associated with the development of mass tourism, and specifically with the emergence of the state as a major player in the tourist industry. The second period concerns the recent development of postmodern (alternative environmental and cultural) tourism. Postmodern tourism is characterized by the rejection of mass tourism and by the quest for real places and experiences. The thesis uses both qualitative and quantitative (computer-assisted content analysis) methods to examine how the state has rhetorically responded to these changes in its presentations of landscape. Changes are found in both periods, but they are gradual and incomplete. It is consequently argued that the state’s character as an author limits its audience and the strategies it may use for presenting tourist landscapes.

description: The SL synchronous programming model is a relaxation of the Esterel synchronous model where the reaction to the absence of a signal within an instant can only happen at the next instant. In previous work, we have revisited the SL synchronous programming model. In particular, we have discussed an alternative design of the model including thread spawning and recursive definitions, introduced a CPS translation to a tail recursive form, and proposed a notion of bisimulation equivalence. In the present work, we extend the tail recursive model with first-order data types obtaining a non-deterministic synchronous model whose complexity is comparable to the one of the pi-calculus. We show that our approach to bisimulation equivalence can cope with this extension and in particular that labelled bisimulation can be characterised as a contextual bisimulation.
Planetary nebulae as probes for galactic chemical evolution

description: The role of planetary nebulae as probes for the galactic chemical evolution is reviewed. Their abundances throughout the Galaxy are discussed for key elements, in particular oxygen and other alpha elements. The abundance distribution derived from planetary nebulae leads to the establishment of radial abundance gradients in the galactic disk that are important constraints to model the chemical evolution of the Galaxy. The radial gradient, well determined for the solar neighborhood, is examined for distinct regions. For the galactic anticenter in particular, the observational data confirm results from galactic evolution models that point to a decreasing in the gradient slope at large galactocentric distances. The possible time evolution of the radial gradient is also examined comparing samples of planetary nebulae of different ages, and the results indicate that a flattening in the gradient occurred, which is confirmed by some galactic evolution models. The galactic bulge is another important region whose modeling can be constrained by observational results obtained from planetary nebulae. Results derived in the last few years indicate that bulge nebulae have an abundance distribution similar to that of disk objects, however with a larger dispersion.

description: The static longitudinal and transverse gluon propagators in the Landau gauge are studied in $2+1$ lattice QCD with nonzero isospin chemical potential $μ_I$. Parameterization of the momentum dependence of the propagators is provided for all values of the chemical potential under study. We find that the longitudinal propagator is infrared suppressed at nonzero $μ_I$ with suppression increasing with increasing $μ_I$. It is found, respectively, that the electric screening mass is increasing with increasing $μ_I$. Additionally, we analyze the difference between two propagators as a function of the momentum and thus compare interactions in chromoelectric and chromomagnetic sectors.

description: I study the behaviour of the maximum rms fractional amplitude, $r_{\rm max}$ and the maximum coherence, $Q_{\rm max}$, of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in a dozen low-mass X-ray binaries. I find that: (i) The maximum rms amplitudes of the lower and the upper kHz QPO, $r^{\ell}_{\rm max}$ and $r^{\rm u}_{\rm max}$, respectively, decrease more or less exponentially with increasing luminosity of the source; (ii) the maximum coherence of the lower kHz QPO, $Q^{\ell}_{\rm max}$, first increases and then decreases exponentially with luminosity; (iii) the maximum coherence of the upper kHz QPO, $Q^{\rm u}_{\rm max}$, is more or less independent of luminosity; and (iv) $r_{\rm max}$ and $Q_{\rm max}$ show the opposite behaviour with hardness of the source, consistent with the fact that there is a general anticorrelation between luminosity and spectral hardness in these sources. Both $r_{\rm max}$ and $Q_{\rm max}$ in the sample of sources, and the rms amplitude and coherence of the kHz QPOs in individual sources show a similar behaviour with hardness. This similarity argues against the interpretation that the drop of coherence and rms amplitude of the lower kHz QPO at high QPO frequencies in individual sources is a signature of the innermost stable circular orbit around a neutron star.

description: We review recent progress relating to the extreme value statistics of the characteristic polynomials of random matrices associated with the classical compact groups, and of the Riemann zeta-function and other $L$-functions, in the context of the general theory of logarithmically-correlated Gaussian fields. In particular, we focus on developments related to the conjectures of Fyodorov \& Keating concerning the extreme value statistics, moments of moments, connections to Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos, and explicit formulae derived from the theory of symmetric functions.

description: We show that in electron-hole bilayers with excitonic order arising from conduction and valence bands formed by atomic orbitals that have different parities, nonzero interlayer tunneling leads to a second order Josephson effect. This means the interlayer electrical current is related to the phase of the excitonic order parameter as $J = J_c \sin2θ$ instead of $J = J_c \sin θ$, and that the system has two degenerate ground states at $θ=0, π$ that can be switched by an interlayer voltage pulse. When generalized to a three dimensional stack of alternating electron-hole planes or a two dimensional stack of chains, AC Josephson effect implies that electric field pulses perpendicular to the layers and chains can steer the order parameter phase between the two degenerate ground states, making these devices ultrafast memories. The order parameter steering also applies to the excitonic insulator candidate Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$.

description: We study the three-body baryonic B decays of $B\to p\bar{p}(K^{*},ρ)$ in the standard model. The baryonic matrix elements are calculated in terms of the SU(3) flavor symmetry and the QCD power counting rules within the the perturbative QCD. We find that the decay branching ratios, angular and direct CP asymmetries of ($B^{-}\to p\bar{p}K^{*-}, \bar{B}^{0}\to p\bar{p}K^{*0}, B^{-}\to p\bar{p}ρ^{-}$) are around $(6,1,30)\times 10^{-6}$, $(13,-27,11)%$ and $(22,1,-3)%$, which are consistent with the current BaBar and Belle data, respectively. The large values of the branching ratio in $B^{-}\to p\bar{p}ρ^{-}$ and the direct CP asymmetry in $B^{\pm}\to p\bar{p}K^{*\pm}$ are useful to test the standard model and search for new physics.

The high redshift galaxy population in hierarchical galaxy formation models

description: We compare observations of the high redshift galaxy population to the predictions of the galaxy formation model of Croton et al. (2006) and De Lucia & Blaizot (2006). This model, implemented on the Millennium Simulation of the concordance LCDM cosmogony, introduces "radio mode" feedback from the central galaxies of groups and clusters in order to obtain quantitative agreement with the luminosity, colour, morphology and clustering properties of the present-day galaxy population. Here we construct deep light cone surveys in order to compare model predictions to the observed counts and redshift distributions of distant galaxies, as well as to their inferred luminosity and mass functions out to redshift 5. With the exception of the mass functions, all these properties are sensitive to modelling of dust obscuration. A simple but plausible treatment agrees moderately well with most of the data. The predicted abundance of relatively massive (~M*) galaxies appears systematically high at high redshift, suggesting that such galaxies assemble earlier in this model than in the real Universe. An independent galaxy formation model implemented on the same simulation matches the observed mass functions slightly better, so the discrepancy probably reflects incomplete galaxy formation physics rather than problems with the underlying cosmogony.

description: We perform a new analysis on the dissipative Olami-Feder-Christensen model on a small world topology considering avalanche size differences. We show that when criticality appears the Probability Density Functions (PDFs) for the avalanche size differences at different times have fat tails with a q-Gaussian shape. This behaviour does not depend on the time interval adopted and is found also when considering energy differences between real earthquakes. Such a result can be analytically understood if the sizes (released energies) of the avalanches (earthquakes) have no correlations. Our findings support the hypothesis that a self-organized criticality mechanism with long-range interactions is at the origin of seismic events and indicate that it is not possible to predict the magnitude of the next earthquake knowing those of the previous ones.
