description: The following thesis refers to the methods of the solar desalination and distillation. Originally, various units of desalination are presented worldwide. We examined the methods of solar desalination and more emphasis has been given to the solar distillation and its general operating principle, the common types of solar stills and their composite parts. In addition, we noticed various factors which influence the operation and the efficiency ratio of the stills and several ways of improving their performance. Moreover, special methods of desalination which mainly use the combination of solar and Aeolian energy and have special operating techniques are shown. The referred methods aim at the improvement of the performance of the stills during the day and at a satisfactory level of performance during the night and cloudy days. In the end, the progress of desalination in Greece and Cyprus is generally presented. In the calculating part of thesis a solar still in the Athens area is studied during the period of a year in order to find the efficiency ratio and the mass flow of the distilled water. The results are shown with diagrams and tables and the relative conclusions are made.

Customisable X-ray fluorescence photodetector with submicron sensitivity using a ring array of silicon p-i-n diodes

description: The research and development of silicon-based X-ray fluorescence detectors achieved its submicron sensitivity. Its initial use is intended for in-situ beam monitoring at advanced light-source facilities. The effectively functioning prototype fully leveraged technologies and techniques from a wide array of scientific disciplines: X-ray fluorescence technique, photon scattering and spectroscopy, astronomical photometry, semiconductor physics, materials science, microelectronics, analytical and numerical modelling, and high-performance computing. In the design stage, the systematic two-track approach was taken with the aim of attaining its submicron sensitivity: Firstly, the novel parametric method, devised for system-wide full optimisation, led to a considerable increase in detector's total solid angle (0.9 steradian), or integrated field-of-view (~ 3000 deg$^{2}$), thus in turn yielding a substantial enhancement of its photon-detection efficiency. Secondly, the minimisation of all types of limiting noise sources identified resulted in a boost to detector's signal-to-noise ratio, thereby achieving its targeted range of sensitivity. The subsequent synchrotron-radiation experiment with this X-ray detector demonstrated its capability to respond to 8-keV photon beams with 600-nanometre sensitivity. This Article reports on the innovative and effective design methods formulated for systematising the process of custom-building ultrasensitive photodetectors, as well as future directions.

description: We present a super-Earth orbiting close to the inner edge of the habitable zone of the cool dwarf star K2-286 (EPIC 249889081), detected with data from the K2 mission in its $15^{th}$ campaign. The planet has radius of $2.1\pm0.2$ R$_{\oplus}$, near the 1.5 - 2.0 R$_{\oplus}$ gap in the radii distribution. The equilibrium temperature is $347^{+21}_{-11}$ K, cooler than most of the small planets with well measured masses, and the orbital period is $27.359\pm0.005$ days. K2-286, located at a distance of $76.3\pm0.3$ pc, is an M0V star with estimated effective temperature of $3926\pm100$ K, less active than other M dwarf stars hosting exoplanets. The expected radial velocity semi-amplitude induced by the planet on the star is $1.9^{+1.3}_{-1.2}$ m$\cdot$s$^{-1}$, and the amplitude of signals in transit transmission spectroscopy is estimated at $5.0\pm3.0$ ppm. Follow-up observations for mass measurements and transit spectroscopy should be desirable for this relatively bright target ($m_V=12.76, m_{Ks}=9.32$) hosting a transiting super-Earth within the inner edge of the habitable zone.

description: We investigate how the spectral properties of atomic (HI) and molecular (H$_2$) gas, traced by CO(2-1), are related in M33 on $80$ pc scales. We find the HI and CO(2-1) velocity at peak intensity to be highly correlated, consistent with previous studies. By stacking spectra aligned to the velocity of HI peak intensity, we find that the CO line width ($σ_{\rm HWHM}=4.6\pm0.9$ km s$^{-1}$; $σ_{\rm HWHM}$ is the effective Gaussian width) is consistently smaller than the HI line width ($σ_{\rm HWHM}=6.6\pm0.1$ km s$^{-1}$), with a ratio of ${\sim}0.7$, in agreement with Druard et al. (2014). The ratio of the line widths remains less than unity when the data are smoothed to a coarser spatial resolution. In other nearby galaxies, this line width ratio is close to unity which has been used as evidence for a thick, diffuse molecular disk that is distinct from the thin molecular disk dominated by molecular clouds. The smaller line width ratio found here suggests that M33 has a marginal thick molecular disk. From modelling individual lines-of-sight, we recover a strong correlation between HI and CO line widths when only the HI located closest to the CO component is considered. The median line width ratio of the line-of-sight line widths is $0.56\pm0.01$. There is substantial scatter in the HI--CO(2-1) line width relation, larger than the uncertainties, that results from regional variations on $<500$ pc scales, and there is no significant trend in the line widths, or their ratios, with galactocentric radius. These regional line width variations may be a useful probe of changes in the local cloud environment or the evolutionary state of molecular clouds.

description: On the off-the-shelf navigational assistance devices, the localization precision is limited to the signal error of global navigation satellite system (GNSS). During travelling outdoors, the inaccurately localization perplexes visually impaired people, especially at key positions, such as gates, bus stations or intersections. The visual localization is a feasible approach to improving the positioning precision of assistive devices. Using multiple image descriptors, the paper proposes a robust and efficient visual localization algorithm, which takes advantage of priori GNSS signals and multi-modal images to achieve the accurate localization of key positions. In the experiments, we implement the approach on the wearable system and test the performance of visual localization under practical scenarios.

Gamma rays from red giant wind bubbles entering the jets of elliptical host blazars

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Blazars in elliptical hosts have a population of red giants surrounding their jet. These stars can carry large wind-blown bubbles into the jets, leading to gamma-ray emission through bubble-jet interactions. We study the interaction dynamics and the gamma-ray emission produced when the bubbles formed by red giant winds penetrate the jet of a blazar in an elliptical galaxy. First, we characterized the masses and penetration rates of the red giant wind bubbles that enter the jet. Then, the dynamical evolution of these bubbles under the jet impact was analysed analytically and numerically, and the radiation losses of the particles accelerated in the interaction were characterised. Finally, the synchrotron and the inverse Compton contributions above 100 MeV were estimated under different jet magnetic fields, powers, and Lorentz factors. We find that an analytical dynamical model is a reasonable approximation for the red giant wind bubble-jet interaction. The radiation produced by these wind bubbles interacting with a jet can have a duty cycle of up to 1. For realistic magnetic fields, gamma rays could be detectable from sources within the local universe, preferentially from those with high Lorentz factors (of about 10), and this could be a relatively common phenomenon for these sources. For magnetic fields in equipartition with the jet power, and high acceleration rates, synchrotron gamma rays may be detectable even for modest Lorentz factors (of about 3), but with a much lower duty cycle.

description: The electromagnetic response to microwaves in the mixed state of YBa2Cu3Oy(YBCO) was measured in order to investigate the electronic state inside and outside the vortex core. The magnetic-field dependence of the complex surface impedance at low temperatures was in good agreement with a general vortex dynamics description assuming that the field-independent viscous damping force and the linear restoring force were acting on the vortices. In other words, both real and imaginary parts of the complex resistivity, ρ_1, and ρ_2, were linear in B. This is explained by theories for d-wave superconductors. Using analysis based on the Coffey-Clem description of the complex penetration depth, we estimated that the vortex viscosity ηat 10 K was (4 \sim 5) \times 10^{-7} Ns/m^2. This value corresponds to ω_0 τ\sim 0.3 - 0.5, where ω_0 and τare the minimal gap frequency and the quasiparticle lifetime in the vortex core, respectively. These results suggest that the vortex core in YBCO is in the moderately clean regime. Investigation of the moderately clean vortex core in high-temperature superconductors is significant because physically new effects may be expected due to d-wave characteristics and to the quantum nature of cuprate superconductors. The behavior of Z_s as a function of B across the first order transition (FOT) of the vortex lattice was also investigated. Unlike Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy (BSCCO), no distinct anomaly was observed around the FOT in YBCO. Our results suggest that the rapid increase of X_s due to the change of superfluid density at the FOT would be observed only in highly anisotropic two-dimensional vortex systems like BSCCO. We discuss these results in terms of the difference of the interlayer coupling and the energy scale between the two materials.

Scattering by a three-dimensional object composed of the simplest Lorentz-nonreciprocal medium

description: The simplest Lorentz-nonreciprocal medium has the constitutive relations (${\bf D} =\epso {\bf E} -{\bf Γ}\times {\bf H}$ and ${\bf B} =\muo {\bf H} + {\bf Γ}\times{\bf E}$). Scattering by a three-dimensional object composed of this medium was investigated using the extended boundary condition method. Scattering by this object in free space must be attributed to non-zero $Γ=\vert\bf Γ\vert$. The differential scattering efficiency is immune to the transformation of the incident toroidal electric field phasor into a poloidal electric field phasor, or \textit{vice versa}, and a consequence of this source-invariance is the polarization-state invariance of the differential scattering efficiency when the irradiating field is a plane wave. Both the total scattering and forward-scattering efficiencies of an ellipsoid composed of the simplest Lorentz-nonreciprocal medium are maximum when the plane wave is incident in a direction {coparallel (but not antiparallel)} to $\bf Γ$, and the backscattering efficiency is minimum when $\bf Γ$ is {parallel} to the incidence direction. The total scattering and the forward-scattering efficiencies are maximum when the incidence direction is parallel to the largest semi-axis of the ellipsoid if the incidence direction is coparallel (but not antiparallel) to $\bf Γ$. Lorentz nonreciprocity in an object is thus intimately connected to the shape of that object in affecting the scattered field.

Shearing the Vacuum - Quantum Friction

description: We consider two perfectly smooth featureless surfaces at T=0, defined only by their respective dielectric functions, separated by a finite distance, and ask the question whether they can experience any friction when sheared parallel to their interface. We find large frictional effects comparable to everyday frictional forces provided that the materials have resistivities of the order of 1 m-Ohm and that the surfaces are in close proximity. The friction depends solely on the reflection coefficients of the surfaces to electromagnetic waves and its detailed behaviour with shear velocity and separation is dictated by the dispersion of the reflectivity with frequency.

description: The role of dynamical magneto-elastic coupling in spin-Peierls chains is investigated by numerical and analytical techniques. We show that a Heisenberg spin chain coupled to dynamical optical phonons exhibits a transition towards a spontaneously dimerized state in a wide range of parameter space. The low energy excitations are characterized as solitons. No binding between solitons occurs in the isolated spin-phonon chain and the dynamical spin structure factor shows a broad magnon dispersion. However, elastic interchain coupling can lead to the formation of bound states.

description: In this work, we analyse the $q-$state Potts model with long-range interactions through nonequilibrium scaling relations commonly used when studying short-range systems. We determine the critical temperature via an optimization method for short-time Monte Carlo simulations. The study takes into consideration two different boundary conditions and three different values of range parameters of the couplings. We also present estimates of some critical exponents, named as raw exponents for systems with long-range interactions, which confirm the non-universal character of the model. Finally, we provide some preliminary results addressing the relations between the raw exponents and the exponents obtained for systems with short-range interactions. The results assert that the methods employed in this work are suitable to study the considered model and can easily be adapted to other systems with long-range interactions.

Dirac Equation in Kerr Geometry

Year: 1999

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We are familiar with Dirac equation in flat space by which we can investigate the behaviour of half-integral spin particle. With the introduction of general relativistic effects the form of the Dirac equation will be modified. For the cases of different background geometry like Kerr, Schwarzschild etc. the corresponding form of the Dirac equation as well as the solution will be different. In 1972, Teukolsky wrote the Dirac equation in Kerr geometry. Chandrasekhar separated it into radial and angular parts in 1976. Later Chakrabarti solved the angular equation in 1984. In 1999 Mukhopadhyay and Chakrabarti have solved the radial Dirac equation in Kerr geometry in a spatially complete manner. In this review we will discuss these developments systematically and present some solutions.

title: What 'if'? A modal analysis of indicative conditionals
Creators: name: McCardel, Finlay
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: Indicative conditionals - e.g. ‘If I was born in Glasgow, then I was born in Scotland’ - seem to express propositions. In other words, they seem to express thoughts that can be shared and evaluated as either true or false. For the past hundred years or so, analytic philosophers have commonly interpreted them as equivalent to disjunctions, e.g. ‘Either I was not born in Glasgow, or I was born in Scotland’. Those who dig a little deeper tend to agree that this is not quite right, but they often come to the conclusion that indicative conditionals do not express propositions at all. I argue for an alternative theory according to which indicative conditionals express a type of strict implication. What this means is that they are modal statements - e.g. ‘Necessarily, either I was not born in Glasgow, or I was born in Scotland’ - an idea that used to be quite popular despite striking many contemporary philosophers as radical. More specifically, I defend the idea that indicative conditionals express metaphysical necessity. I argue that this view respects our intuitions in an important way, and I show that it can be incorporated into a promising view of natural language conditionals more generally. Lastly, I argue that it also has plausible consequences for the related concepts of conditional probability, causal explanation, and risk.

description: Dynamics of vortices reflects the electronic states of quasiparticles in the core. To understand this, we investigated the following three issues. (1) We investigated the complex surface impedance, Zs, of YBa2Cu3Oy as a function of magnetic field, H. The total features were well expressed by the Coffey-Clem model. From the data, we estimated the viscosity and pinning frequency, which were found to be independent of frequency. In particular, the obtained viscosity definitely shows that the core of vortex of YBa2Cu3Oy is moderately clean. This result suggests that new physics will show up, for the physics of quantum moderately clean vortex core is unknown at all. (2) An anomaly found in the surface reactance at the first order transition (FOT) of vortex lattice was investigated in Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy with various doping levels. As a result, the anomaly was found only in the samples exhibiting the FOT. On the other hand, we did not observe the anomaly in YBa2Cu3Oy. These suggest that the anomaly is due to the change in the electronic states of the vortices characteristic of materials with very strong anisotropy. (3) We measured H dependence of both the thermal conductivity κ(H) and Zs(H) in exactly the same pieces of crystal. We could not find any anomaly in Zs(H) even at the onset of the plateau. This result suggests that the origin of the plateau in κ(H) is not a drastic phase transition but is rather gradual crossover.

description: We construct a time dependent adjustment mechanism for the cosmological "constant" which could be at work in a late Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe dominated by quintessence and matter. It makes use of a Brans-Dicke field that couples to the evolving standard-model vacuum energy density. Our explicit model possesses a stable late-time solution with a fixed ratio of matter and field energy densities. No fine tuning of model parameters or initial conditions is required.

description: To relieve the pain of manually selecting machine learning algorithms and tuning hyperparameters, automated machine learning (AutoML) methods have been developed to automatically search for good models. Due to the huge model search space, it is impossible to try all models. Users tend to distrust automatic results and increase the search budget as much as they can, thereby undermining the efficiency of AutoML. To address these issues, we design and implement ATMSeer, an interactive visualization tool that supports users in refining the search space of AutoML and analyzing the results. To guide the design of ATMSeer, we derive a workflow of using AutoML based on interviews with machine learning experts. A multi-granularity visualization is proposed to enable users to monitor the AutoML process, analyze the searched models, and refine the search space in real time. We demonstrate the utility and usability of ATMSeer through two case studies, expert interviews, and a user study with 13 end users.

Quantum Geometric Tensor in $\mathcal{PT}$-Symmetric Quantum Mechanics

description: A series of geometric concepts are formulated for $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric quantum mechanics and they are further unified into one entity, i.e., an extended quantum geometric tensor (QGT). The imaginary part of the extended QGT gives a Berry curvature whereas the real part induces a metric tensor on system's parameter manifold. This results in a unified conceptual framework to understand and explore physical properties of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems from a geometric perspective. To illustrate the usefulness of the extended QGT, we show how its real part, i.e., the metric tensor, can be exploited as a tool to detect quantum phase transitions as well as spontaneous $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking in $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems.

description: Two-dimensional system of the fermions with the indirect Einstein phonon-exchange attraction and added local four-fermion interaction is considered. It is shown that in such a system at resulting attraction between particles a new nonsuperconducting phase arises along with the normal and superconducting phases. In this, called "abnormal normal", or pseudogap, phase the absolute value of the order parameter is finite but its phase is a random quantity. It is important that the new phase really exists at low carrier density only, i.e. it shrinks with doping increasing in the case of phonon attraction. The relevance of the results for high-temperature superconductors is speculated. Key words: 2D metal, arbitrary carrier density, normal phase, abnormal normal phase, pseudogap, suderconducting phase, Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase, electron-electron and electron-hole pairing

description: By means of high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy, we investigate the low-energy excitation spectrum of transition-metal monopnictides hosting Weyl fermions. We observe gapped plasmonic modes in (001)-oriented surfaces of single crystals of NbAs and TaAs at 66 and 68 meV, respectively. Our findings are consistent with theory and we estimate an effective Coulomb interaction strength $α_{\rm eff}\approx0.41$ for both samples. We also demonstrate that the modification of the surface of transition-metal monopnictides by the adsorption of chemical species (in our case, oxygen and hydrocarbon fragments) changes the frequency of the plasmonic excitations, with a subsequent modification of the effective interaction strength in the 0.30-0.48 range. The remarkable dependence of plasmonic features on the presence of adsorbates paves the way for plasmonic sensors based on Weyl semimetals operating in the mid-infrared.

Wind of presupernova IIn SN~1997eg

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Spectra and phototometry of type IIn supernova SN 1997eg are used to determine properties of the circumstellar gas lost by the presupernova during the latest 200 years before the explosion. The analysis of narrow H$α$ and [Fe X] 6374 Å results in the wind velocity $u = 20$ km/s, significantly lower than the earlier accepted value (160 km/s) upon the bases of the radial velocity of a blue absorption wing of the narrow H$α$. That high velocity of the wind in our picture is related to the preshock gas accelerated by the cosmic ray precursor. The modelling of the circumstellar interaction results in the wind density parameter $\dot{M}/u$ that being combined with the wind velocity suggests the presupernova mass loss rate of $1.6\cdot10^{-3} M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The wind density is consistent with the [Fe X] 6374 Å luminosity. The model H$α$ luminosity also agrees with the observational value. Recovered wind properties indicate that the presupernova at the final evolutionary stage was a massive red supergiant with a high mass loss rate, but not the LBV-supergiant as suggested earlier.
