description: Robust biometric authentication is studied from an information theoretic perspective. Compound sources are used to account for uncertainty in the knowledge of the source statistics and are further used to model certain attack classes. It is shown that authentication is robust against source uncertainty and a special class of attacks under the strong secrecy condition. A single-letter characterization of the privacy secrecy capacity region is derived for the generated and chosen secret key model. Furthermore, the question is studied whether small variations of the compound source lead to large losses of the privacy secrecy capacity region. It is shown that biometric authentication is robust in the sense that its privacy secrecy capacity region depends continuously on the compound source.

description: The emergence and continued reliance on the Internet and related technologies has resulted in the generation of large amounts of data that can be made available for analyses. However, humans do not possess the cognitive capabilities to understand such large amounts of data. Machine learning (ML) provides a mechanism for humans to process large amounts of data, gain insights about the behavior of the data, and make more informed decision based on the resulting analysis. ML has applications in various fields. This review focuses on some of the fields and applications such as education, healthcare, network security, banking and finance, and social media. Within these fields, there are multiple unique challenges that exist. However, ML can provide solutions to these challenges, as well as create further research opportunities. Accordingly, this work surveys some of the challenges facing the aforementioned fields and presents some of the previous literature works that tackled them. Moreover, it suggests several research opportunities that benefit from the use of ML to address these challenges.

title: Using Bayesian analysis to improve models of in-season estimates of salmon run size and timing

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Salmon stock management is extremely time-sensitive; fishing seasons are short, and decisions have to be made about harvest levels usually while information about the run-size and timing is still being collected. This presents a challenge to managers, as the application of any harvest control rule that depends on stock sizes to determine allowable harvest rates or allowable catches requires accurate inseason estimates of abundance. Current methods of in-season run-size estimation could be improved by quantitatively incorporating prior knowledge about the run timing and stock size from several sources (including historical run timing, stock-recruitment data, and previous year classes), and by explicitly presenting probabilities associated with the estimates of run timing and abundance. A general Bayesian method for estimating salmon run timing and run size based upon prior information and data collected in-season is developed. This method is applied to historical data from the Skeena River salmon runs, and the accuracy of prediction from the new method is compared with the existing methods in use on the Skeena River.

description: We investigate the decoherence of the electron wavepacket in purely ballistic one-dimensional systems described through the Luttinger liquid (LL). At a finite temperature $T$ and long times $t$, we show that the electron Green's function for a fixed wavevector close to one Fermi point decays as $\exp(-t/τ_F)$, as opposed to the power-law behavior occurring at short times, and the emerging electron lifetime obeys $τ_F^{-1}\propto T$ for spinful as well as spinless electrons. For strong interactions, $(Tτ_F)\ll 1$, reflecting that the electron is not a good Landau quasiparticle in LLs. We justify that fractionalization is the main source of electron decoherence for spinful as well as spinless electrons clarifying the peculiar electron mass renormalization close to the Fermi points. For spinless electrons and weak interactions, our intuition can be enriched through a diagrammatic approach or Fermi Golden rule and through a Johnson-Nyquist noise picture. We stress that the electron lifetime (and the fractional quasiparticles) can be revealed from Aharonov-Bohm experiments or momentum resolved tunneling. We aim to compare the results with those of spin-incoherent and chiral LLs.

description: Crystals melt when thermal excitations or the concentration of defects in the lattice is sufficiently high. Upon melting, the crystalline long-range order vanishes, turning the solid to a fluid. In contrast to this classical scenario of solid melting, here we demonstrate a counter-intuitive behavior of the occurrence of crystalline long-range order in an initially disordered matrix. This unusual solidification is demonstrated in a system of passive colloidal particles accommodating chemically active defects -- photocatalytic Janus particles. The observed crystallization occurs when the amount of active-defect-induced fluctuations (which is the measure of the effective temperature) reaches critical value. The driving mechanism behind this unusual behavior is purely internal and resembles a blast-induced solidification. Here the role of "internal micro-blasts" is played by the photochemical activity of defects residing in the colloidal matrix. The defect-induced solidification occurs under non-equilibrium conditions: the resulting solid exists as long as a constant supply of energy in the form of ion flow is provided by the catalytic photochemical reaction at the surface of active Janus particle defects. Our findings could be useful for understanding of the phase transitions of matter under extreme conditions far from thermodynamic equilibrium.

description: A vortex in a superfluid gas inside an optical lattice can behave as a massive particle moving in a periodic potential and exhibiting quantum properties. In this Letter we discuss these properties and show that the excitation of vortex motions in a two-dimensional lattice can lead to striking measurable changes in its dynamic response. It would be possible by means of Bragg spectroscopy to carry out the first direct measurement of the effective vortex mass, the pinning to the underlying lattice, and the dissipative damping.

description: We report the anisotropic magnetic properties of Ho2Ge2O7 determined from dc and ac magnetization, specific heat and powder neutron diffraction experiments. The magnetic lanthanide sublattice, seen in our refinement of the tetragonal pyrogermanate crystal structure, is a right-handed spiral of edge-sharing and corner-sharing triangles; the local Ho-O coordination indicates that the crystal field is anisotropic. Susceptibility and magnetization data indeed show that the magnetism is highly anisotropic, and the magnetic structure has the Ho moments confined to the plane perpendicular to the structural spiral. The ordered moment of Ho3+, as determined from refinement of the neutron diffraction data, is 9.0 mu_B. Magnetic ordering occurs around 1.6 K. Temperature and field dependent ac susceptibility measurements show that this compound displays spin relaxation phenomena analogous to what is seen in the spin ice pyrochlore system Ho2Ti2O7.

description: Cold bent glass is a promising and cost-efficient method for realizing doubly curved glass façades. They are produced by attaching planar glass sheets to curved frames and require keeping the occurring stress within safe limits. However, it is very challenging to navigate the design space of cold bent glass panels due to the fragility of the material, which impedes the form-finding for practically feasible and aesthetically pleasing cold bent glass façades. We propose an interactive, data-driven approach for designing cold bent glass façades that can be seamlessly integrated into a typical architectural design pipeline. Our method allows non-expert users to interactively edit a parametric surface while providing real-time feedback on the deformed shape and maximum stress of cold bent glass panels. Designs are automatically refined to minimize several fairness criteria while maximal stresses are kept within glass limits. We achieve interactive frame rates by using a differentiable Mixture Density Network trained from more than a million simulations. Given a curved boundary, our regression model is capable of handling multistable configurations and accurately predicting the equilibrium shape of the panel and its corresponding maximal stress. We show predictions are highly accurate and validate our results with a physical realization of a cold bent glass surface.

description: The object of the present thesis is the right of self-determination of peoples. It specializes in the case of exercising the right of self-determination by the people of Nagorno Karabakh. Firstly, we referred to the demographic and historical elements of the region and the events that led to the armed conflict. Then we analyzed the events and the current status of the region in terms of International Law. Furthermore, we presented the principle of self–determination as it has evolved from the theory and international practice. In particular, we analyzed the recent Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice in respect of Kosovo and made a comparison between the cases of Nagorno Karabakh and Kosovo. Finally, we examined whether the Karabakh Armenians meet the conditions set by the international community and International Law to be regarded as 'people' entitled to exercise the right of self-determination and if the declaration of independence of Nagorno-Karabakh is consistent with the criteria set by the International Court of Justice in the above mentioned Advisory Opinion.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) administered by NOAA Fisheries has developed a new sampling design for its Access Point Angler Intercept Survey (APAIS) that provides estimates of mean catch rates for marine recreational fishing trips. The new design improves the statistical validity and accuracy of the APAIS which has been a component of the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) since 1979. Although the new MRIP design makes it easier to develop statistically valid estimators, provides more complete temporal coverage of marine recreational fishing trips, and eliminates a number of possible sources of bias that were in the MRFSS design, a 2010 pilot study designed to test its feasibility showed that it would require further adjustments to maximize efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall performance. Based on the pilot study results, MRIP decided to fully implement the new APAIS design in 2013 on the Atlantic coast and in the Gulf of Mexico. Over the first few months, a number of necessary adjustments have been made to increase performance and yield. In addition, a number of additional changes are being evaluated for 2014 that would further enhance performance without sacrificing any of the statistical advantages gained with this new design.

description: We study Josephson effect in graphene superconductor- barrier- superconductor junctions with short and wide barriers of thickness $d$ and width $L$, which can be created by applying a gate voltage $V_0$ across the barrier region. We show that Josephson current in such graphene junctions, in complete contrast to their conventional counterparts, is an oscillatory function of both the barrier width $d$ and the applied gate voltage $V_0$. We also demonstrate that in the thin barrier limit, where $V_0 \to \infty$ and $d \to 0$ keeping $V_0 d$ finite, such an oscillatory behavior can be understood in terms of transmission resonance of Dirac-Bogoliubov-de Gennes quasiparticles in superconducting graphene. We discuss experimental relevance of our work.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. In England (UK), sea angling is a very popular activity. However there is no available list-frame of individual anglers on which to base a randomised survey to estimate catches. During 2012 we carried out a 12-month pilot survey using a stratified-random roving creel design to provide mean catch per unit effort (CPUE: catch per day-trip) for shore-based and private boat angling, in parallel with a monthly population survey to estimate sea angling effort (numbers of day trips). The survey was part of a larger programme Sea Angling 2012 estimating catches and economic value of sea angling in England. The roving creel approach was adopted in order to maximise the number of sites visited, as there was little prior information on the actual effort distribution beyond the most popular sites, and survey resources were limited. The approach proved more effective for shore angling than for private boats, due to the very patchy and unpredictable distribution of boat landings. The surveys provided an important data set on spatio-temporal angling activity, but highlighted the disadvantages of roving-creel surveys, particularly the issues with partial trip data from shore anglers and the inability to estimate total daily effort directly

description: Are Brazilian developers less likely to have a contribution accepted than their peers from, say, the United Kingdom? In this paper we studied whether the developers' location relates to the outcome of a pull request. We curated the locations of 14k contributors who performed 44k pull requests to 20 open source projects. Our results indeed suggest that developers from countries with low human development indexes (HDI) not only perform a small fraction of the overall pull requests, but they also are the ones that face rejection the most.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. A recent study on catch-and-release (C&R) behavior of marine angling tourists in Norway showed that large proportions of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) catches are released. To investigate the potentially negative consequences of C&R on cod in their natural environment, 80 cod were caught in fyke nets, fitted with acoustic tags and released. Nine individuals were subsequently recaptured and released at least once by experimental recreational angling using rod and line, following best release practice. All cod survived the release event, but three individuals showed short term behavioral alterations, e.g. reduced swimming activity or disruption of diel vertical migrations after the release event. To minimize the negative effects of C&R, fishery managers are encouraged to consider C&R practice in future management regulations, in conjunction with the development of best practice guidelines and angler education on proper fish handling.

description: Human chromosome 21 is the only chromosome in human genome that exhibits oscillation of (G+C)-content of cycle length of hundreds kilobases (500 kb near the right telomere). We aim at establishing the existence of similar periodicity in structure-related sequence features in order to relate this (G+C)% oscillation to other biological phenomena. The following quantities are shown to oscillate with the same 500kb periodicity in human chromosome 21: binding energy calculated by two sets of dinucleotide-based thermodynamic parameters, AA/TT and AAA/TTT bi-/tri-nucleotide density, 5'-TA-3' dinucleotide density, and signal for 10/11-base periodicity of AA/TT or AAA/TTT. These intrinsic quantities are related to structural features of the double helix of DNA molecules, such as base-pair binding, untwisting/unwinding, stiffness, and a putative tendency for nucleosome formation.

description: We describe an algorithm that computes the linear dispersion relation of waves and instabilities in relativistic plasmas within a Vlasov-Maxwell description. The method used is fully relativistic and involves explicit integration of particle orbits along the unperturbed equilibrium trajectories. We check the algorithm against the dispersion curves for a single component magnetised plasma and for an unmagnetised plasma with counter-streaming components in the non-relativistic case. New results on the growth rate of the Weibel or two-stream instability in a hot unmagnetised pair plasma consisting of two counter-streaming relativistic Maxwellians are presented. These are relevant to the physics of the relativistic plasmas found in gamma-ray bursts, relativistic jets and pulsar winds.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. The blue cod fishery in the Marlborough Sounds (New Zealand) suffers from intense recreational fishing pressure, which has recently led to new strict regulations. This study is the first to explore the social aspects of the fishery management regime, investigating fisher attitudes about, and knowledge of the rules. The results from face-to-face interviews show that overall although fishers are generally knowledgeable about the regulations; they are also dissatisfied with them and only marginally satisfied with the blue cod fishing itself. However, these results are not uniform. Older and more experienced fishers, as well as those resident in the Marlborough region, display higher levels of regulation awareness but lower satisfaction levels. Rules suggested by fishers also enjoy higher levels of support than those implemented by the government. While knowledge of the rules is high, the strong levels of disagreement suggest high levels of non-compliance are possible and a more inclusive management strategy may increase the effectiveness of the current management regime.

description: Weighted and controlled frames have been introduced recently to improve the numerical efficiency of iterative algorithms for inverting the frame operator. In this paper we develop systematically these notions, including their mutual relationship. We will show that controlled frames are equivalent to standard frames and so this concept gives a generalized way to check the frame condition, while offering a numerical advantage in the sense of preconditioning. Next, we investigate weighted frames, in particular their relation to controlled frames. We consider the special case of semi-normalized weights, where the concepts of weighted frames and standard frames are interchangeable. We also make the connection with frame multipliers. Finally we analyze weighted frames numerically. First we investigate three possibilities for finding weights in order to tighten a given frame, i.e., decrease the frame bound ratio. Then we examine Gabor frames and how well the canonical dual of a weighted frame is approximated by the inversely weighted dual frame.

description: How does the impact of a deformable droplet on a granular bed differ from that caused by a solid impactor of similar size and density? Here, we experimentally study this question and focus on the effect of intruder deformability on the crater shape. For comparable impact energies, we show that the crater diameter is larger for droplets than for solid intruders but that the impact of the latter results in deeper craters. Interestingly, for initially dense beds of packing fractions larger than 0.58, we find that the resultant excavated crater volume is independent of the intruder deformability, suggesting an impactor-independent dissipation mechanism within the sand for these dense beds.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. At the present time, offshore mussel culture farms (MCFs) and anti-erosion barriers can be considered as one of the major drivers affecting both the structure and functioning of the coastal area in the West coast of the Northern Adriatic Sea, having important biogeochemical, biological, ecological and socioeconomic impacts. All this, for instance, is expected to deeply affect the nektonic assemblage, and consequently reflecting also on the recreational fishery, that, in this part of the Adriatic, plays an important social role, even if it is still not fully described. For these reasons, we started an investigation of this activity to analyze possible changes related to the ecological modifications of the area. The study aims to describe nekton assemblage composition, by using also recreational fishery data, and assess its exploitation level.

Τα σωματίδια διατρέχουν μία απόσταση μερικών εκατοστών υπό συνθήκες υψηλού κενού και εναποτίθενται σε ένα θερμαινόμενο ή μη υπόστρωμα (πυρίτιο, γυαλί ή άλλο). Έτσι, με κάθε παλμό λέιζερ, το υμένιο σχηματίζεται με αλλεπάλληλα στρώματα υλικού. Έπειτα περιγράφεται η φασματοσκοπία απορρόφησης ακτίνων Χ και το φαινόμενο EXAFS. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο περιγράφονται αναλυτικά τα δείγματα και οι πειραματικές συνθήκες υπό τις οποίες διενεργήθηκε το πείραμα. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζεται η ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων της μελέτης των νανοσύνθετων δειγμάτων TiN/Cu πριν και μετά την ανόπτηση και έπειτα συζητούνται τα συμπεράσματα.
description: Titanium Nitride (TiN) is an exceptionally hard ceramic material which is used and has been studied mainly as covering in various types of alloys that it improves the attributes of surface. The structure of this paper is the following: In the first chapter there are described the attributes and the applications of nanocomposites materials as well as their methods of growth and more specifically the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) where the focus of powerful pulse laser on a objective attributes as result the vaporization of part of surface of the material and his deposition on the material objective that interests us. The particles run through a certain distance under conditions of high void and after repositioned on a heated or not sublayer (silicon, glass or other).Then are described the Xray spectroscopy and the EXAFS phenomenon. In the second chapter are described analytically the samples and the experimental conditions under which was the experiment. In the third chapter is presented the analysis of results of nanocomposite samples TiN/Cu before and afterwards the annealing and finally is discussed the conclusions.

description: Developing Internet of Things (IoT) systems has to cope with several challenges mainly because of the heterogeneity of the involved sub-systems and components. With the aim of conceiving languages and tools supporting the development of IoT systems, this paper presents the results of the study, which has been conducted to understand the current state of the art of existing platforms, and in particular low-code ones, for developing IoT systems. By analyzing sixteen platforms, a corresponding set of features has been identified to represent the functionalities and the services that each analyzed platform can support. We also identify the limitations of already existing approaches and discuss possible ways to improve and address them in the future.

description: We consider a population that experienced a first wave of infections, interrupted by strong, top-down, governmental restrictions and did not develop a significant immunity to prevent a second wave (i.e. resurgence). As restrictions are lifted, individuals adapt their social behaviour to minimize the risk of infection. We consider two scenarios. In the first, individuals reduce their overall social activity towards the rest of the population. In the second scenario, they maintain a normal social activity within a small community of peers (i.e., social bubble) while reducing social interactions with the rest of the population. In both cases, we consider possible correlations between social activity and behaviour change, reflecting for example the social dimension of certain occupations. We model these scenarios considering a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered epidemic model unfolding on activity-driven networks. Extensive analytical and numerical results show that i) a minority of very active individuals not changing behaviour may nullify the efforts of the large majority of the population, and ii) imperfect social bubbles of normal social activity may be less effective than an overall reduction of social interactions.

description: Volume shrinkage, grain growth, and their interaction are major events occurring during free sintering of ceramics. A high temperature sintering dilatometry curve is influenced by these both phenomena. It is shown that the continuum theory of sintering can be utilized in the format enabling the extraction of the maximum amount of information on the densification and grain growth kinetics based on a simple dilatometry test. We present here the capability of such a fast approach (Dilatometry based Grain growth Assessment DGA) utilized for the modeling of sintering and grain growth of zirconia.

description: Σύμφωνα με την D. Hervieu - Leger στην αρχή κάθε θρησκείας βρίσκεται η πίστη στη συνέχεια της καταγωγής και της εξέλιξης, η οποία διαβεβαιώνεται μέσα από τη θρησκευτική πράξη που βασίζεται στο παρελθόν και χρησιμοποιείται για να δυναμώσει το μέλλον. Η θρησκευτική μνήμη είναι αυτή που συνέχει τις θρησκευτικές ομάδες και δημιουργεί ουσιαστικά μια αλυσίδα πίστης στην ομάδα μέσα από την ενότητα που παρουσιάζει στο χρόνο. Η θρησκευτική μνήμη παρουσιάζεται κυρίως σε ομάδες με έντονη εθνική ταυτότητα και παράδοση και εντάσσει τη θρησκευτική παράδοση στο εθνικό υποσυνείδητο. Στο στοιχείο αυτό βασίστηκε και η δημιουργία των εθνικών κρατών, τα οποία χρησιμοποίησαν τους μουσειακούς οργανισμούς για την ανάδειξη του παρελθόντος. Τα μουσεία, ως «τόποι μνήμης» όπως τους ονομάζει ο P. Nora, έχουν το ρόλο του κοινωνικού μετασχηματιστή και του «κατασκευαστή» της ιστορικής μνήμης και εθνικής ταυτότητας. Έτσι, στην παρούσα εργασία κύριος στόχος είναι η διερεύνηση του τρόπου, με τον οποίο τα μουσεία διαχειρίζονται τη θρησκευτική μνήμη και η σχέση που αναπτύσσεται τόσο με τη μνήμη γενικότερα και την προφορική ιστορία- μαρτυρία. Για να γίνει πιο κατανοητό, η εργασία θέτει ως παράδειγμα τον τρόπο που τρία μουσεία της πόλης της Θεσσαλονίκης διαχειρίζονται την θρησκευτική μνήμη.
description: According to the author D. Hervieu- Leger, in the offset of every religion there is the belief in the continuity of origin and evolution, which testifies itself through the religious action based on the past and which is used to enforce the future. The religious memory is what binds the religious groups together and nominally creates a chain of belife in the group through its unity in the course of time. The religious memory is mainly found in groups with strong national identity and tradition and it engulfs the religious tradition of the national subconscious. This element underlies in the creation of nation states which used museum organisation for the revelation of the past. Museums, that is to say “places of memory”, as a P. Nora calls them, have undertaken such a role of a social transformer and of the “producer” of historical memory and national identity. So, the main role of this present project is the research of the way in which museums deal with religious memory and the relationship that is developed between memory generally and recent historical manifestation. To be more specific, the project displays, as an example, the way in which three museums of the city of Thessaloniki deal with religious memory.

description: We investigate the resonant process of nuclear excitation by electron capture, in which a continuum electron is captured into a bound state of an ion with the simultaneous excitation of the nucleus. In order to derive the cross section a Feshbach projection operator formalism is introduced. Nuclear states and transitions are described by a nuclear collective model and making use of experimental data. Transition rates and total cross sections for NEEC followed by the radiative decay of the excited nucleus are calculated for various heavy ion collision systems.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author. Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is one of the most important commercial and recreational target species in European marine waters. Recent recreational fisheries surveys revealed that recreational cod catches and release rates are substantial compared to the commercial fishery, particularly in the western Baltic Sea. Despite high release rates, no literature exists exploring the post-release mortality of cod and potential sublethal effects after catch-and-release in recreational fisheries. This study investigates (i) the post-release mortality of undersized cod, (ii) potential factors affecting mortality, and (iii) consequences of the catch-and-release process on cod. During four experimental trials, western Baltic Sea cod were angled from a charter vessel and thereafter observed together with control fish in netpens for 10 d at holding temperatures between 6.2 and 19.8°C. Adjusted mortality rates for angled cod ranged from 0.0–27.3% (overall mean 11.2%). A logistic regression analysis revealed that bleeding and holding-water temperature were the only significant predictors of mortality. Slow hook injury healing (>10 d) and bacterial wound infections were observed in some surviving cod. The results will help to increase the accuracy of recreational cod removal estimates and thereby improve the management of western Baltic cod stock.
Computer Program Decomposition and Dynamic/Behavioral Modeling

description: Decomposition, statically dividing a program into multiple units, is a common programming technique for realizing parallelism and refining programs. The decomposition of a sequential program into components is tedious, due to the limitations of program analysis and because sequential programs frequently employ inherently sequential algorithms. This paper contributes to this area of study by proposing a diagrammatic methodology to decompose a sequential program. The methodology involves visualizing the program in terms of a conceptual model called the thinging machine (TM) model. The TM diagram-based model establishes three levels of representation (1) a static description; (2) a dynamic representation; and (3) a behavioral model. The decomposition is performed in the last phase of modeling, according to the streams of events. This method is contrasted with formal decomposition specifications and compared with the typical decomposition of a C++ program. The results point to the viability of using TM for decomposing programs.

Overlapping Probabilities of Top Ranking Gene Lists, Hypergeometric Distribution, and Stringency of Gene Selection Criterion

description: When the same set of genes appear in two top ranking gene lists in two different studies, it is often of interest to estimate the probability for this being a chance event. This overlapping probability is well known to follow the hypergeometric distribution. Usually, the lengths of top-ranking gene lists are assumed to be fixed, by using a pre-set criterion on, e.g., $p$-value for the t-test. We investigate how overlapping probability changes with the gene selection criterion, or simply, with the length of the top-ranking gene lists. It is concluded that overlapping probability is indeed a function of the gene list length, and its statistical significance should be quoted in the context of gene selection criterion.
