description: We investigate the role of specific phonon mode symmetries for the room temperature superconductivity in atomic hydrogen under large pressure. Using anisotropic Migdal-Eliashberg theory with ab initio input from density functional theory, we show that the $E_u$ phonon modes are the dominant driving force for obtaining such high critical temperatures. When going from 400 to 600 GPa, we find an increased transition temperature, however, the total electron-phonon coupling strength is counterintuitively reduced. Our analysis reveals that this is due to an enhanced contribution to the coupling strength by the $E_u$ phonon mode.

description: This paper approaches the apocryph Gospel of Judas under the light of the canonical books of the New Testament, approaches in order to prove the heretical nautre of this document and collect informations about the religious group who has written this text. Gospel of Judas is an ancient manuscript which has been written between the third and the forth century ac. It belongs to the gnostic heresy of Sithians. Their religious conception is that the salvation comes to the human people with a secret knowledge, which gives them the opportunity to come over the material things and to a heavenly world. Bearer of this knowledge is Jesus, who has come from the celestial world to give this learning to Judas.

description: In early January of 1999, approximately 15 miles ofl-75 in Scott County began to rapidly deteriorate. The existing pavement exhibited several potholes and delaminations. The worst section of deterioration fell approximately between milepoints 125 and 133.  In the latter part of January, the condition of the highway had declined to the point thatcorrective action was necessary. The worst sections were milled and patched with hotmixasphalt (HMA). Despite this temporary improvement to the pavement condition, adesire developed within the Department to investigate the cause of the deterioration inorder to prevent a future similar occurrence.  Therefore, personnel from the Division of Materials and the Kentucky Transportation Center conducted an abbreviated investigation of the deteriorating pavement and theasphalt mixtures involved. The findings from this investigation, including analyses of thehistorical data for these mixtures and testing of the in-place pavement, revealed severalpossibilities for the premature pavement failure.  These possibilities included questionable quality of the aggregates in the mixtures, lowasphalt contents and high dust contents, poor volumetric properties of the mixtures, andlow in-place densities and high permeability of the existing pavement. It was concludedthat no single deficiency caused the failure, but rather, a combination of several factors.  A companion section of I-7 5 immediately south of the deteriorated Scott County portions,constructed about one year prior to the pavement presently in question, continues toperform well. Investigation of this pavement and the involved asphalt mixtures revealedhigher asphalt contents, better volumetric properties, higher in-place densities, and lowerpermeability.  It is believed that recent revisions to the applicable asphalt mixture specifications have allbut eliminated the possibility of the recurrence of this type of failure. Mixtures designedcurrently under the Superpave system undergo greater scrutiny and must satisfy tougherspecifications. Also, asphalt mixtures are accepted differently today than when thispavement was originally constructed. It is highly unlikely that the mixtures that arecurrently deteriorating on I-75 could satisfy today's specifications.
Some conjectures about the mechanism of poltergeist phenomenon

description: Poltergeist accounts concern at least four kinds of strange spontaneous manifestations, such as burning of materials, failures of electric equipments, rapping noises and movements of objects. A simple analysis of phenomenology of these disturbances shows that they might have a common origin, that is, a reduction in strength of molecular bonds due to an enhancement in polarization of vacuum which decreases the actual electron charge. Arguments based on Prigogine' nonequilibrium thermodynamics are proposed, which show how transformations in brain of some pubescent childs or young womans might be the cause of these effects.

description: Innovative practices in construction contracting techniques have become more frequent and necessary in recent years. These practices benefit the transportation industry by experimenting with methods different from the traditional methods. This allows for growth and the adoption of procedures that provide higher quality and a better benefit to cost ratio.  An Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), referred to as TRIMARC (Traffic Response and Incident Management Assisting the River Cities), was installed in the Louisville, Kentucky and southern Indiana area. A system integrator approach was used for the installation, operation, and maintenance of this system. Special Experimental Project No. 14 (SEP-14) procedures were used to procure the services of the equipment installation contractor. An evaluation was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the process approved for this procurement. This evaluation was accomplished by review of documentation related to the TRIMARC project including contracts, memorandums, and proposals. Also, input was received from the principal participants in the project including representatives of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, HNTB, Spartan Construction Company, and TRW, Inc.  The SEP-14 process is an innovative means of procuring projects that may be uncharacteristic to the traditional projects normally encountered by highway departments. SEP-14 provides states an opportunity to use and evaluate the contractual arrangements when an alternate process is more beneficial than the traditional processes. After some time period, this alternate process may be evaluated by the Federal Highway Administration to determine if it should be classified operational instead of experimental.  The evaluation on the TRIMARC project's use of the system integrator and SEP-14 bidding practices has been very positive. The project has encountered some delays; however, it is progressing in a manner that is satisfactory to all parties involved. The overall project has been received positively and the contract is now being extended to include a larger area for the incident management program. The SEP-14 process has provided the system integrator more flexibility and has allowed the procurement of the equipment and services to be based on criteria other than cost. This has allowed the system integrator to receive the specific equipment desired and to contract for the equipment installation from a contractor that had previous experience with similar projects resulting in time and cost savings to Kentucky and Indiana.

description: The cryogenic buffer gas beam (CBGB) is an important tool in the study of cold and ultracold molecules. While there are known techniques to enhance desired beam properties, such as high flux, low velocity, or reduced divergence, they have generally not undergone detailed numerical optimization. Numerical simulation of buffer gas beams is challenging, as the relevant dynamics occur in regions where the density varies by orders of magnitude, rendering standard numerical methods unreliable or intractable. Here, we present a hybrid approach to simulating CBGBs that combines gas dynamics methods with particle tracing. The simulations capture important properties such as velocities and divergence across an assortment of designs, including two-stage slowing cells and de Laval nozzles. This approach should therefore be a useful tool for optimizing CBGB designs across a wide range of applications.

description: We present the first results of extragalactic black hole X-ray binaries LMC X-1 and LMC X-3 using all the archival and legacy observations by AstroSat during the period of $2016-2020$. Broadband energy spectra ($0.5-20$ keV) of both sources obtained from the SXT and LAXPC on-board AstroSat are characterized by strong thermal disc blackbody component ($kT_{in}\sim1$keV, $f_{disc}>79\%$) along with a steep power-law ($Γ\sim2.4-3.2$). Bolometric luminosity of LMC X-1 varies from $7-10\%$ of Eddington luminosity ($L_{Edd}$) and for LMC X-3 is in the range $7-13\%$ of $L_{Edd}$. We study the long-term variation of the light curve using MAXI data and find the fractional variance to be $\sim25\%$ for LMC X-1 and $\sim53\%$ for LMC X-3. We examine the temporal properties of both sources and obtain fractional rms variability of PDS in the frequency range $0.002-10$ Hz to be $\sim9\%-17\%$ for LMC X-1, and $\sim7\%-11\%$ for LMC X-3. The `spectro-temporal' properties indicate both sources are in thermally dominated soft state. By modelling the spectra with relativistic accretion disc model, we determine the mass of LMC X-1 and LMC X-3 in the range $7.64-10.00$ $M_{\odot}$ and $5.35-6.22$ $M_{\odot}$ respectively. We also constrain the spin of LMC X-1 to be in the range $0.82-0.92$ and that of LMC X-3 in $0.22-0.41$ with 90\% confidence. We discuss the implications of our results in the context of accretion dynamics around the black hole binaries and compare it with the previous findings of both sources.

Distribution
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czechia, France (Corsice), Greece, Italy and Montenegro (Di Sabatino et al., 2009, 2010). It is new record for the Turkish fauna.
Remarks
Torrenticola laskai is very similar to T. barsica (Szalay, 1933). Males of T. barsica differ from T. laskai in shorter medial suture of Cx-II+III (L ratio Cx-I / Cx-II+III 1.3-1.8), shape of genital field (anteriorly slightly enlarged, forming an obtuse triangle, anterolaterally obtuse angled), in both sexes, palp segment P-2 longer than P-4. So, distinction of females of the two species may be impossible (Di Sabatino et al., 2009, 2010). The Turkish male specimen is agree with T. laskai by the ratio length of Cx-I / Cx-II+III, genital field paralel sides, anterior margin smoothly convex, anterolateral angles rounded, P-2 and P-4 nearly equal in length. In female P-2 slightly longer than P-4, and the other characteristic features is agree with previously description of the species.

description: We present the exact solution of the Richardson-Gaudin models associated with the SU(3) Lie algebra. The derivation is based on a Gaudin algebra valid for any simple Lie algebra in the rational, trigonometric and hyperbolic cases. For the rational case additional cubic integrals of motion are obtained, whose number is added to that of the quadratic ones to match, as required from the integrability condition, the number of quantum degrees of freedom of the model. We discuss different SU(3) physical representations and elucidate the meaning of the parameters entering in the formalism. By considering a bosonic mapping limit of one of the SU(3) copies, we derive new integrable models for three level systems interacting with two bosons. These models include a generalized Tavis-Cummings model for three level atoms interacting with two modes of the quantized electric field.

Έτσι λοιπόν η ανάλυση, η σχεδίαση καθώς και η μετατροπή των συστημάτων από το ένα στο άλλο για την καλύτερη μελέτη και απόδοσή τους ήταν αναπόφευκτη. Στην εργασία αυτή θα ασχοληθούμε με τη διακριτοποίηση δισδιάστατων συστημάτων στα οποία η μία μεταβλητή είναι συνεχούς χρόνου και η άλλη διακριτού. Σκοπός μας μετά τη διακριτοποίηση είναι να έχουμε ένα σύστημα διακριτού χρόνου και στις δύο μεταβλητές του. Ο λόγος για τον οποίο χρειάζεται να γίνει αυτή η μετατροπή είναι ότι στην πράξη είναι πολύ δύσκολο να αναλύσουμε και να σχεδιάσουμε απευθείας ένα τέτοιο υβριδικό (συνεχές-διακριτό) σύστημα. Έτσι λοιπόν για την πιο αποτελεσματική ανάλυση και σχεδίασή του είναι αναγκαία η μετατροπή του σε καθαρά δισδιάστατο διακριτό σύστημα. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο αναφέρονται τα δισδιάστατα μοντέλα της μορφής χώρου καταστάσεων, μελετούμε τις προϋποθέσεις της ευστάθειάς τους, τον τρόπο με τον οποίο γίνεται η δειγματοληψία τους και στο τέλος του κεφαλαίου παρουσιάζουμε επιγραμματικά τις μεθόδους διακριτοποίησης στα μονοδιάστατα συστήματα. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται και αναλύονται οι μέθοδοι διακριτοποίησης για τα δισδιάστατα συστήματα, και στο τέλος του κεφαλαίου αυτού συγκρίνονται μεταξύ τους για την καλύτερη κατανόηση της αποδοτικότητάς τους.
description: In the past few years, the evolution in the word of the automatic control was raised dramatically especially because of the constantly increased complexibility of the controlled systems and of the simultaneous desire for the achievement of its best behavior. For this reason, the analysis and the systems drawing up affected by more than one variable were inevitable. In this paper we will focus on the discretization of two dimensional systems that one of their variables is continuous and the other one is discrete. Our motivation in applying discretization, is to obtain a system that involves only discrete variables. The reason is that in action is very difficult to analyze and draw a hybrid (continuous-discrete) system, so it is necessary to transform it in to a fully discrete time model so that this processes will be easier to be done. On chapter one, the two dimensional (2-D) state space models are mentioned, we also analyze the stability properties of these systems, we approach sampling of 2-D and finally we make a report to the discretization methods of 1-D systems. On chapter two we show and analyze the discretization methods of 2-D systems and in the end of it, these methods are compared in order to decide which of them are better.

description: Numerical simulations of the interference of a three-way segmented nonrotating Bose-Einstein condensate reveal the production of a honeycomb vortex lattice containing significant numbers of vortices and antivortices. If confined within a trap, the lattice subsequently melts, exhibiting a rich assortment of vortex-antivortex interactions. In contrast with nonlinear vortex production mechanisms previously described for Bose-Einstein condensates, the process here is shown to be primarily one of linear superposition, with initial vortex locations approximately described by a linear theory of wave packet interference.

description: We propose a class of models with gauge mediation of supersymmetry breaking, inspired by simple brane constructions, where R-symmetry is very weakly broken. The gauge sector has an extended N=2 supersymmetry and the two electroweak Higgses form an N=2 hypermultiplet, while quarks and leptons remain in N=1 chiral multiplets. Supersymmetry is broken via the D-term expectation value of a secluded U(1) and it is transmitted to the Standard Model via gauge interactions of messengers in N=2 hypermultiplets: gauginos thus receive Dirac masses. The model has several distinct experimental signatures with respect to ordinary models of gauge or gravity mediation realizations of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). First, it predicts extra states as a third chargino that can be observed at collider experiments. Second, the absence of a D-flat direction in the Higgs sector implies a lightest Higgs behaving exactly as the Standard Model one and thus a reduction of the `little' fine-tuning in the low tan(beta) region. This breaking of supersymmetry can be easily implemented in string theory models

description: We explore the competiton of doped holes and defects that leads to the loss of orbital order in vanadate perovskites. In compounds such as La$_{1-{\sf x}}$Ca$_{\,\sf x}$VO$_3$ spin and orbital order result from super-exchange interactions described by an extended three-orbital degenerate Hubbard-Hund model for the vanadium $t_{2g}$ electrons. Long-range Coulomb potentials of charged Ca$^{2+}$ defects and $e$-$e$ interactions control the emergence of defect states inside the Mott gap. The quadrupolar components of the Coulomb fields of doped holes induce anisotropic orbital rotations of degenerate orbitals. These rotations modify the spin-orbital polaron clouds and compete with orbital rotations induced by defects. Both mechanisms lead to a mixing of orbitals, and cause the suppression of the asymmetry of kinetic energy in the $C$-type magnetic phase. We find that the gradual decline of orbital order with doping, a characteristic feature of the vanadates, however, has its origin not predominantly in the charge carriers, but in the off-diagonal couplings of orbital rotations induced by the charges of the doped ions.

description: The provision of retirement payouts to employees through the use of defined benefits has been diminishing in popularity amongst employers for some time. One way in which this has been realised is through the closure of defined benefit schemes to new entrants, creating a subset of schemes that rapidly increase in maturity as the closed membership ages. The actuarial monitoring of these schemes is vitally important; due to their fixed time horizon the security of members' benefits is paramount. This thesis investigates the actuarial monitoring of closed defined benefit retirement schemes. This is done via a simulation approach of a model scheme, with economic and decrement factors varying stochastically. The desires of trustees and employer-sponsors are expressed numerically and the distribution of these desires analysed from the simulated output. In addition, a single objective function is developed, balancing the desires of all parties, in order to quantify the optimal use of investment and contribution strategies. In addition, adjustments to the model scheme are made to investigate their effect on the use of these strategies. It is found that schemes that are closed to new entrants should be invested more conservatively, but with surpluses and deficits allowed to be spread over a longer time frame than schemes that are open to new entrants. There is a strong trend towards a surplus of assets over liabilities, due to the lower boundary of a zero contribution rate when the scheme is in surplus but no corresponding upper boundary when the scheme is in deficit. This trend is exacerbated by the fact that there are no new liabilities entering the scheme through new entrants. Improvements in the minimum objective function can be obtained by spreading surplus only above a certain funding level, cash flow matching liabilities for pensions in payment, reducing investment risk as surplus grows and allowing for smoothing of asset levels in determining contribution rates.

Recently proposed iSWAP gates, however, require tuning qubit energies into resonance and have limited fidelity due to charge noise. We present a novel photon-mediated cross-resonance gate that is consistent with realistic experimental capabilities and requires no resonant tuning. Furthermore, we propose gate sequences capable of suppressing errors due to quasistatic noise for both the cross-resonance and iSWAP gates.

description: Temperature and rainfall have a significant impact on economic growth as well as the outbreak of seasonal diseases in a region. In spite of that inadequate studies have been carried out for analyzing the weather pattern of Bangladesh implementing the artificial neural network. Therefore, in this study, we are implementing a Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) model to forecast the month-wise temperature and rainfall by analyzing 115 years (1901-2015) of weather data of Bangladesh. The LSTM model has shown a mean error of -0.38oC in case of predicting the month-wise temperature for 2 years and -17.64mm in case of predicting the rainfall. This prediction model can help to understand the weather pattern changes as well as studying seasonal diseases of Bangladesh whose outbreaks are dependent on regional temperature and/or rainfall.

description: We present the results of the first complete survey of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds for 6668-MHz methanol and 6035-MHz excited-state hydroxyl masers. In addition to the survey, higher-sensitivity targeted searches towards known star-formation regions were conducted. The observations yielded the discovery of a fourth 6668-MHz methanol maser in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), found towards the star-forming region N160a, and a second 6035-MHz excited-state hydroxyl maser, found towards N157a. We have also re-observed the three previously known 6668-MHz methanol masers and the single 6035-MHz hydroxyl maser. We failed to detect emission from either transition in the Small Magellanic Cloud. All observations were initially made using the Methanol Multibeam (MMB) survey receiver on the 64-m Parkes telescope as part of the MMB project and accurate positions have been measured with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). We compare the maser populations in the Magellanic Clouds with those of our Galaxy and discuss their implications for the relative rates of massive star-formation, heavy metal abundance, and the abundance of complex molecules. The LMC maser populations are demonstrated to be smaller than their Milky Way counterparts. Methanol masers are under-abundant by a factor of ~45, whilst hydroxyl and water masers are a factor of ~10 less abundant than our Galaxy.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία επικεντρώνεται στη μελέτη και παρουσίαση των εκφάνσεων του μοτίβου της φτερωτής μορφής στην ελληνική ζωγραφική του 20ου αιώνα. Η σταχυολόγηση εικαστικών παραδειγμάτων από την ελληνική τέχνη της συγκεκριμένης περιόδου συνιστά μια ανομοιογενή ομάδα τόσο όσον αφορά στην τεχνοτροπία των έργων όσο και στην ίδια την ταυτότητα της φτερωτής μορφής. Η ανάπτυξη του θέματος γίνεται σε δύο βασικούς άξονες που σχετίζονται με τη συμβολική ή αλληγορική χρήση του μοτίβου. Ειδικότερα, στο πρώτο μέρος εξετάζονται οι ουράνιες φτερωτές μορφές-όπως οι άγγελλοι-ενώ στο δεύτερο οι επίγειες φτερωτές μορφές με πιο χαρακτηριστικές τις αποδόσεις της Νίκης, του Ερωτα, του Θανάτου, της Ψυχής, του Ικαρου, των Μηνών, των Εποχών και των Ανέμων.
description: The on hand dissertation focalizes on the study and presentation of the multiple appearances of the winged figure motif throughout the 20th century greek painting. The aggregation of many examples from the afore-sai period comprises a diversified group regarding either each painting's style or the motif's interpretation. The followed structure takes into account the symbolic or allegoric use of the motif. Therefore, the paper consists of two parts. The first refers to the celestial winged figures-like angels-and the second to the secular winged figures like Victory, Eros, Death, Psyche, Icarus, Months, Seasons and Winds.
Trapping and decay of negative charge in silicon nitride films for photovoltaic applications

description: Surface passivation is a major technology area requiring improvement in order to increase device efficiency for most commercial solar cells. As the thickness of solar cells continues to decrease, surface passivation becomes even more important as the efficiency loss due to poorly passivated surfaces becomes greater. This thesis aims to combine the excellent passivation properties of silicon nitride (SiNx) with the application advantages offered by corona charging to embed negative charges, particularly for the rear surface of conventional solar cells. Normal SiNx film contains positive charges, which is often beneficial as it results in field effect passivation of n type surfaces. However, for p type surfaces, the positive charge in SiNx induces a depletion region which increases recombination, and results in a parasitic shunt [1]. Therefore, the ability to trap negative charge in SiNx for long periods of time could be of interest for solar cell applications. This thesis focuses on a simple technique to modify positive charges to negative charges in SiNx films. The negative charge trapping behavior of silicon nitride thin films using various processing methods is studied. The effect of post-deposition annealing on the charge trapping ability and charge stability is investigated. Capacitance-Voltage measurements are used to estimate the injected negative charge density in silicon nitride films. It is observed that post-deposition annealing prior to charging can increase the charge trapping ability and improve the charge stability in silicon nitride films. Higher and more stable negative charge density can be achieved in nitrogen-rich silicon nitride films. Lifetime results also show that the negatively charged silicon nitride layers lead to an improvement in surface passivation. However, there is also some evidence that the process of negative charge injection can result in an increase in the interface defect density but still within acceptable levels. The thesis shows that negatively charged LPCVD silicon nitride and PECVD silicon nitride are both effective for the surface passivation of p type surfaces. The lifetime has been improved after negative charge injection. A charge decay model is proposed to explain the observed charge decay with time at elevated storage temperatures in the silicon-oxide-nitride (ON) and silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide (ONO) structures. It is, therefore, concluded that these structures, together with the charge-injection technologies developed in this thesis are viable and promising options for the surface passivation of silicon solar cells.

description: We study infinite matrices $A$ indexed by a discrete group $G$ that are dominated by a convolution operator in the sense that $|(Ac)(x)| \leq (a \ast |c|)(x)$ for $x\in G$ and some $a\in \ell ^1(G)$. This class of "convolution-dominated" matrices forms a Banach-*-algebra contained in the algebra of bounded operators on $\ell ^2(G)$. Our main result shows that the inverse of a convolution-dominated matrix is again convolution-dominated, provided that $G$ is amenable and rigidly symmetric. For abelian groups this result goes back to Gohberg, Baskakov, and others, for non-abelian groups completely different techniques are required, such as generalized $L^1$-algebras and the symmetry of group algebras.

description: For further improving the capacity and reliability of optical networks, a closed-loop autonomous architecture is preferred. Considering a large number of optical components in an optical network and many digital signal processing modules in each optical transceiver, massive real-time data can be collected. However, for a traditional monitoring structure, collecting, storing and processing a large size of data are challenging tasks. Moreover, strong correlations and similarities between data from different sources and regions are not properly considered, which may limit function extension and accuracy improvement. To address abovementioned issues, a data-fusion-assisted telemetry layer between the physical layer and control layer is proposed in this paper. The data fusion methodologies are elaborated on three different levels: Source Level, Space Level and Model Level. For each level, various data fusion algorithms are introduced and relevant works are reviewed. In addition, proof-of-concept use cases for each level are provided through simulations, where the benefits of the data-fusion-assisted telemetry layer are shown.

description: Intermediate energy Coulomb excitation and dissociation is a useful tool for nuclear structure and astrophysics studies. Low-lying strength in nuclei far from stability was discovered by this method. The effective range theory for low-lying strength in one-neutron halo nuclei is summarized and extended to two-neutron halo nuclei. This is of special interest in view of recent rather accurate experimental results on the low-lying electric dipole strength in $^{11}$Li. Another indirect approach to nuclear astrophysics is the Trojan horse method. It is pointed out that it is a suitable tool to investigate subthreshold resonances.

description: By now, tens of gravitational-wave (GW) events have been detected by the LIGO and Virgo detectors. These GWs have all been emitted by compact binary coalescence, for which we have excellent predictive models. However, there might be other sources for which we do not have reliable models. Some are expected to exist but to be very rare (e.g., supernovae), while others may be totally unanticipated. So far, no unmodeled sources have been discovered, but the lack of models makes the search for such sources much more difficult and less sensitive. We present here a search for unmodeled GW signals using semi-supervised machine learning. We apply deep learning and outlier detection algorithms to labeled spectrograms of GW strain data, and then search for spectrograms with anomalous patterns in public LIGO data. We searched $\sim 13\%$ of the coincident data from the first two observing runs. No candidates of GW signals were detected in the data analyzed. We evaluate the sensitivity of the search using simulated signals, we show that this search can detect spectrograms containing unusual or unexpected GW patterns, and we report the waveforms and amplitudes for which a $50\%$ detection rate is achieved.

description: What is the complex impedance of a fully coherent quantum resistance-capacitance (RC) circuit at GHz frequencies in which a resistor and a capacitor are connected in series? While Kirchhoff's laws predict addition of capacitor and resistor impedances, we report on observation of a different behavior. The resistance, here associated with charge relaxation, differs from the usual transport resistance given by the Landauer formula. In particular, for a single mode conductor, the charge relaxation resistance is half the resistance quantum, regardless of the transmission of the mode. The new mesoscopic effect reported here is relevant for the dynamical regime of all quantum devices.
