description: Σκοπός της μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας ήταν η παρουσίαση της Ενορίας Αναλήψεως του Σωτήρος Βερολίνου. Περαιτέρω η παρουσίαση της σύστασης, της οργάνωσης και της λειτουργίας της ελληνορθόδοξης Eνορίας σε έναν χώρο ξένο και όχι πάντα φιλόξενο. Πρωτίστως επιχειρήθηκε η ανακάλυψη, συγκέντρωση, καταγραφή και ανάλυση στοιχείων σχετικών με την Ενορία, καθώς και η ανάδειξη τόσο της ελληνορθοδόξου Ενορίας όσο και της ιστορίας των Ελλήνων, οι οποίοι την πλαισίωσαν. Διερευνήθηκαν οι λόγοι, οι οποίοι υπαγόρευσαν την ίδρυση, καθώς και οι πολιτικές και οι κοινωνικές συνθήκες εν μέσω των οποίων συστάθηκε. Ολοκληρώνοντας την συγγραφή κατέληξα στα εξής συμπεράσματα: Η ελληνική παρουσία στην πόλη του Βερολίνου μαρτυρείται ήδη από τα μέσα του 18ου αιώνα, ενώ αποδεικνύεται συνεχώς. Το έτος 1904 ιδρύεται στην περιοχή Charlottenburg Ενορία και το έτος 1976 η μετονομαζόμενη Ενορία Αναλήψεως του Σωτήρος αποκτά τον πρώτο ελληνορθόδοξο Ιερό Ναό στην Γερμανία, στον δήμο Steglitz, του τότε Δυτικού Βερολίνου. Η Ενορία αποτέλεσε το κοινό σημείο αναφοράς του Ελληνισμού, υπήρξε ο συνδετικός κρίκος με την Μητέρα Πατρίδα και συνέβαλε στην προβολή της ελληνορθοδόξου παραδόσεως.
description: The purpose of the thesis is to present the Parish of the Ascension of the Saviour in Berlin. It comprises the presentation of the constitution, organization and operation of the Greek Orthodox Parish of Berlin in a foreign and not always hospitable place. First of all, an attempt was made to discover, collect, record, and analyze data relating to the Parish and to highlight both the Greek Orthodox Parish and the history of the Greeks who surrounded it. The reasons that dictated the foundation and the political as well as the social conditions in the midst of which it was established were investigated: The Greek presence in the city of Berlin is attested as early as the middle of the 18th century and demonstrated up to the present. In the year 1904 a Parish was founded in the Charlottenburg area and in the year 1976 the renamed Parish of the Ascension of the Saviour established the first Greek Orthodox Church in Germany in the municipality of Steglitz, then West Berlin. The Parish was the common reference point of Hellenism, served as connecting link with the Motherland and contributed to the promotion of the Greek Orthodox tradition.

Channel polarization: A method for constructing capacity-achieving codes for symmetric binary-input memoryless channels
Creators: name: Arikan, Erdal
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: A method is proposed, called channel polarization, to construct code sequences that achieve the symmetric capacity $I(W)$ of any given binary-input discrete memoryless channel (B-DMC) $W$. The symmetric capacity is the highest rate achievable subject to using the input letters of the channel with equal probability. Channel polarization refers to the fact that it is possible to synthesize, out of $N$ independent copies of a given B-DMC $W$, a second set of $N$ binary-input channels $\{W_N^{(i)}:1\le i\le N\}$ such that, as $N$ becomes large, the fraction of indices $i$ for which $I(W_N^{(i)})$ is near 1 approaches $I(W)$ and the fraction for which $I(W_N^{(i)})$ is near 0 approaches $1-I(W)$. The polarized channels $\{W_N^{(i)}\}$ are well-conditioned for channel coding: one need only send data at rate 1 through those with capacity near 1 and at rate 0 through the remaining. Codes constructed on the basis of this idea are called polar codes. The paper proves that, given any B-DMC $W$ with $I(W)>0$ and any target rate $R < I(W)$, there exists a sequence of polar codes $\{{\mathscr C}_n;n\ge 1\}$ such that ${\mathscr C}_n$ has block-length $N=2^n$, rate $\ge R$, and probability of block error under successive cancellation decoding bounded as $P_{e}(N,R) \le \bigoh(N^{-\frac14})$ independently of the code rate. This performance is achievable by encoders and decoders with complexity $O(N\log N)$ for each.

description: We show that the formalism of tensor-network states, such as the matrix product states (MPS), can be used as a basis for variational quantum Monte Carlo simulations. Using a stochastic optimization method, we demonstrate the potential of this approach by explicit MPS calculations for the transverse Ising chain with up to N=256 spins at criticality, using periodic boundary conditions and D*D matrices with D up to 48. The computational cost of our scheme formally scales as ND^3, whereas standard MPS approaches and the related density matrix renromalization group method scale as ND^5 and ND^6, respectively, for periodic systems.

description: It has recently been shown that the TIP4P/Ice model of water can be studied numerically in metastable equilibrium at and below its liquid-liquid critical temperature. We report here simulations along a subcritical isotherm, for which two liquid states with the same pressure and temperature, but different density, can be equilibrated. This allows for a clear visualisation of the structural changes taking place across the transition. We specifically focus on how the topological properties of the H-bond network change across the liquid-liquid transition. Our results demonstrate that the structure of the high-density liquid, characterised by the existence of interstitial molecules and commonly explained in terms of the collapse of the second neighbour shell, actually originates from the folding back of long rings, bringing pairs of molecules separated by several hydrogen-bonds close by in space.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SUBMICROSCOPIC MALARIA INFECTION AND FEVER: FINDINGS FROM A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY IN MALAWI
Creators: name: Barrall, Angelica Lynne
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Public health

description: Individuals with submicroscopic malaria infection are an important reservoir for transmission, but the clinical consequences of these low-density parasitemia infections are poorly understood. Using cross-sectional data from six household-based surveys conducted during the dry and rainy seasons in Malawi from 2012 to 2014, this study examined the association between submicroscopic infection and fever in children and adults. For each survey, 900 households were recruited from three distinct ecological settings in southern Malawi to participate in the study (N=22,145). Overall prevalence of submicroscopic infection in the analytic sample was 8.1%. In a generalized linear mixed model accounting for clustering at the household and neighborhood levels and controlling for age and survey number, submicroscopic infection predicted fever in the dry season only (OR=1.66; 95% CI: 1.04, 2.66). Therefore, fever might not be a consistent marker of submicroscopic infection, but identification and treatment of low parasitemia infections is necessary to eliminate malaria transmission.
Dust sputtering by Reverse Shocks in Supernova Remnants

description: We consider sputtering of dust grains, believed to be formed in cooling supernovae ejecta, under the influence of reverse shocks. In the regime of self-similar evolution of reverse shocks, we can follow the evolution of ejecta density and temperature analytically as a function of time in different parts of the ejecta, and calculate the sputtering rate of graphite and silicate grains embedded in the ejecta as they encounter the reverse shock. Through analytic (1D) calculations, we find that a fraction of dust mass ($ 1\hbox{--}20$% for silicates and %$\le 5$% for graphites) can be sputtered by reverse shocks, the fraction varying with the grain size distribution and the steepness of the density profile of the ejecta mass. It is expected that many more grains will get sputtered in the region between the forward and reverse shocks, so that our analytical results provide a lower limit to the destroyed fraction of dust mass.

description: This thesis investigates Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) in the Web3 era, focusing on its legal challenges and implementation as a digital identification method on the internet. It examines the evolution of the internet, from Web 1.0 to Web 3.0, to understand the transformative potential of SSI. Various digital identity management models, including centralized, federated, and decentralized models, are discussed, leading to an exploration of SSI principles and its building blocks like verifiable credentials, decentralized IDs, digital wallets, digital agents, and blockchains. The thesis further analyzes the legal landscape in the European Union, specifically the eIDAS Regulation and the GDPR, and assesses the compatibility of SSI with these regulations. It defines the roles of data controllers and processors in a self-governing identity system and evaluates the relationship between SSI and the eIDAS Regulation, considering the European Digital Wallet and the limitations of decentralization within the regulation.

description: This paper examines asymptotic equivalence in the sense of Le Cam between density estimation experiments and the accompanying Poisson experiments. The significance of asymptotic equivalence is that all asymptotically optimal statistical procedures can be carried over from one experiment to the other. The equivalence given here is established under a weak assumption on the parameter space $\mathcal{F}$. In particular, a sharp Besov smoothness condition is given on $\mathcal{F}$ which is sufficient for Poissonization, namely, if $\mathcal{F}$ is in a Besov ball $B_{p,q}^α(M)$ with $αp>1/2$. Examples show Poissonization is not possible whenever $αp<1/2$. In addition, asymptotic equivalence of the density estimation model and the accompanying Poisson experiment is established for all compact subsets of $C([0,1]^m)$, a condition which includes all Hölder balls with smoothness $α>0$.

description: We have performed electron transport and ARPES measurements on single crystals of transition metal dipnictide TaAs2 cleaved along the ($\overline{2}$ 0 1) surface which has the lowest cleavage energy. A Fourier transform of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations shows four different peaks whose angular dependence was studied with respect to the angle between the magnetic field and the [$\overline{2}$ 0 1] direction. The results indicate the elliptical shape of the Fermi surface cross-sections. Additionally, a mobility spectrum analysis was carried out, which also reveals at least four types of carriers contributing to the conductance (two kinds of electrons and two kinds of holes). ARPES spectra were taken on freshly cleaved ($\overline{2}$ 0 1) surface and it was found that bulk states pockets at the constant energy surface are elliptical, which confirms the magnetotransport angle dependent studies. First-principles calculations support the interpretation of the experimental results. The theoretical calculations better reproduce the ARPES data if the theoretical Fermi level is increased, which is due to a small n-doping of the samples. This shifts the Fermi level closer to the Dirac point, allowing to investigate the physics of the Dirac and Weyl points, making this compound a platform for the investigation of the Dirac and Weyl points in three-dimensional materials.

Dollar value of error-seeking audits

Subjects: subject: 150102 Auditing and Accountability
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Internal audit methods that rely on representations by management, and by which auditors gain confirmation that controls have operated as intended — such as interviews, control self-assessment, checklists, walk-through tests, transaction sampling, and analytical review of reasonableness — can be vulnerable to confirmation bias. Such conclusions could be uncontroversial, but risk internal audit’s reputation if significant errors or fraud came to light at a later date.
Confirmation bias in fieldwork, combined with under-negotiated and then poorly-implemented remedial actions, can conspire to hide the possible existence of significant errors and fraud, which experience suggests occur more frequently than might be expected.
One way to minimize the chance of providing false assurance, de-risk the organization and boost internal audit’s value to the board is to search for the very errors that internal controls were intended to prevent.
Through hypothesizing error and fraud scenarios in audit planning, internal audit can increase its probability of finding material errors resulting in faster management responses, material dollar recoveries, and long overdue personnel changes.
Case studies are presented where this approach has succeeded in generating material gains for the host organisation.

description: We study the implications of primordial magnetic fields for the thermal and ionization history of the post-recombination era. In particular we compute the effects of dissipation of primordial magnetic fields owing to ambipolar diffusion and decaying turbulence in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and the collapsing halos and compute the effects of the altered thermal and ionization history on the formation of molecular hydrogen. We show that, for magnetic field strengths in the range $2 \times 10^{-10} {\rm G} \la B_0 \la 2 \times 10^{-9} {\rm G}$, the molecular hydrogen fraction in IGM and collapsing halo can increase by a factor 5 to 1000 over the case with no magnetic fields. We discuss the implication of the increased molecular hydrogen fraction on the radiative transfer of UV photons and the formation of first structures in the universe.

Εξετάζονται και αναλύονται οι νομοθετικές ρυθμίσεις των Κομνηνών που αποσκοπούσαν στη βελτίωση των συνθηκών διαβίωσης των δούλων και ευνοούσαν την απελευθέρωσή τους. Ειδική αναφορά γίνεται στην επίσημη στάση της Εκκλησίας απέναντι στον θεσμό και στη συμβολή της στην ηθική εξίσωση δούλων και ελευθέρων. Παρουσιάζονται, ακόμη, οι διακρινόμενες εξελίξεις όσον αφορά τον ρόλο των δούλων στον οικονομικό τομέα. Παράλληλα, μέσα από ενδεικτικές περιπτώσεις δεσποτών περιγράφεται η εξελισσόμενη κοινωνική πραγματικότητα, ενώ σχολιάζονται και οι συντηρητικές νοοτροπίες και αντιδράσεις. Για τη διερεύνηση του θέματος, μελετήθηκε κριτικά και αξιοποιήθηκε η σχετική δευτερεύουσα βιβλιογραφία. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δόθηκε στις μαρτυρίες που αντλήθηκαν από το πρωτογενές υλικό: την προαναφερθείσα αυτοκρατορική και εκκλησιαστική νομοθεσία, από δημόσια και ιδιωτικά έγγραφα της εξεταζόμενης περιόδου (πρακτικά παράδοσης κτήσεων, διαθήκες, επιστολές, συμβόλαια απελευθέρωσης δούλων), κανονολογικές πραγματείες και φοροτεχνικά εγχειρίδια καθώς και από δημόσιες ομιλίες με έμμεση αναφορά στο ζήτημα.
description: The aim of this postgraduate thesis is the presentation and study of the institution of Slavery during the 11th and 12th centuries, when the institution -according to the prevailing view- was in decline. The legislative regulations of the Komnenoi aimed at improving the living conditions of slaves and favouring their emancipation are examined and analysed. Special reference is made to the official attitude of the Church towards the institution and its contribution to the moral equation of slaves and freemen. Our research also presents the apparent developments concerning the role of slaves in the economic sector. At the same time, the evolving social reality is described through indicative cases of despots, while conservative attitudes and objections are also commented on. For the examination of the subject, the relevant secondary bibliography was consulted and reviewed. Particular emphasis was placed on the evidence culled from the primary sources: the aforementioned imperial and ecclesiastical legislation, public and private documents (such as documents of delivery of property rights, wills, letters, emancipation contracts), canonological treatises, fiscal handbooks and public speeches.

description: In this work we analise the electrostatic self-energy and self-force on a point-like electric charged particle induced by a global monopole spacetime considering a inner structure to it. In order to develop this analysis we calculate the three-dimensional Green function associated with this physical system. We explicitly show that for points inside and outside the monopole's core the self-energy presents two distinct contributions. The first is induced by the geometry associated with the spacetime under consideration, and the second one is a correction due to the non-vanishing inner structure attributed to it. Considering specifically the ballpoint-pen model for the region inside, we were able to obtain exact expressions for the self-energies in the regions outside and inside the monopole's core.

description: We propose a novel, frequency-domain approach to the analysis of the gravitational-wave ringdown signal of binary black holes and the identification of quasinormal mode frequencies of the remnant. Our approach avoids the issues of spectral leakage that would normally be expected (associated with the abrupt start of the ringdown) by modeling the inspiral and merger parts of the signal using a flexible sum of sine-Gaussian wavelets truncated at the onset of the ringdown. Performing the analysis in the frequency domain allows us to use standard (and by now well-established) Bayesian inference pipelines for gravitational wave data as well as giving us the ability to readily search over the sky position and the ringdown start time, although we find that it is necessary to use an informative prior for the latter. We test our method by using it to analyze several simulated signals with varying signal-to-noise ratios injected into two- and three-detector networks. We find that our frequency-domain approach is generally able to place tighter constraints on the remnant black-hole mass and spin than a standard time-domain analysis.

description: The current study analyzed individual mechanisms of language gains following the Solomon et al. (2014) randomized control trial (RCT) of the Play and Language for Autistic Youngsters (PLAY) Project, a DIR/Floortime based early intervention program for children with autism spectrum disorder. 80 parent-child play interactions from the original RCT were analyzed to assess the relationship between various forms of parental question input, as taught in PLAY parent trainings, and child language measures. While high parental question input did correlate with high child language measures, one targeted intervention component, parental Asked/Answered question input, did not increase following parent training and did not improve child language measures. We consider other mechanisms responsible for successful child language gains following PLAY intervention.

description: We propose a new method to produce self- and cross-Kerr photonic nonlinearities, using light-induced Stark shifts due to the interaction of a cavity mode with atoms. The proposed experimental set-up is considerably simpler than in previous approaches, while the strength of the nonlinearity obtained with a single atom is the same as in the setting based on electromagnetically induced transparency. Furthermore our scheme can be applied to engineer effective photonic nonlinear interactions whose strength increases with the number of atoms coupled to the cavity mode, leading to photon-photon interactions several orders of magnitude larger than previously considered possible.

description: The role of viscous stress in heating of the fuel mixture in deflagration-to-detonation transition in tubes is studied both analytically and numerically. The analytical theory is developed in the limit of low Mach number; it determines temperature distribution ahead of an accelerating flame with maximum achieved at the walls. The heating effects of viscous stress and the compression wave become comparable at sufficiently high values of the Mach number. In the case of relatively large Mach number, viscous heating is investigated by direct numerical simulations. The simulations were performed on the basis of compressible Navier-Stokes gas-dynamic equations taking into account chemical kinetics. In agreement with the theory, viscous stress makes heating and explosion of the fuel mixture preferential at the walls. The explosion develops in an essentially multi-dimensional way, with fast spontaneous reaction spreading along the walls and pushing inclined shocks. Eventually, the combination of explosive reaction and shocks evolves into detonation.

description: We present a system model for optical and far UV spectra of the nova-like variable UX UMa involving a white dwarf, secondary star, gas stream, hot spot and accretion disk using our code BINSYN and based on an initially adopted system distance. Calculated SED intensity data successfully fit successive tomographically-extracted annuli longward of the Balmer limit but require a postulated `iron curtain' shortward of the Balmer limit that is applied to the annulus section closest to the secondary star, while postulated recombination emission fills in the model SED shortward of the Balmer limit and is applied to the annulus section more remote from the secondary star. The same model fits $UBV$ 1954 light curves by Walker and Herbig. Fits to $HST$ $FOS$ spectra are approximate but require assumed time-variable changes in the SED.

description: A numerical analysis of several phases in the cold neutral two flavor dense quark matter is realized. In the analysis, besides the normal, single plane wave LOFF, and color superconducting 2SC/g2SC phases, we also include two gluonic phases (the gluonic cylindrical phase II and the gluonic color-spin locked one). It is shown that these two gluonic phases are dynamically realized and, on the basis of this analysis, the phase diagram with respect to the coupling strength in this medium is suggested. In particular, it is shown that the gluonic phases are energetically favorable in a wide region of the parameter space. On the other hand, there also exists a window where the LOFF phase is stable. The 2SC state and the normal one are realized in the strong and weak coupling regimes, respectively, as was expected.

description: Neural networks have enabled applications in artificial intelligence through machine learning, and neuromorphic computing. Software implementations of neural networks on conventional computers that have separate memory and processor (and that operate sequentially) are limited in speed and energy efficiency. Neuromorphic engineering aims to build processors in which hardware mimics neurons and synapses in the brain for distributed and parallel processing. Neuromorphic engineering enabled by photonics (optical physics) can offer sub-nanosecond latencies and high bandwidth with low energies to extend the domain of artificial intelligence and neuromorphic computing applications to machine learning acceleration, nonlinear programming, intelligent signal processing, etc. Photonic neural networks have been demonstrated on integrated platforms and free-space optics depending on the class of applications being targeted. Here, we discuss the prospects and demonstrated applications of these photonic neural networks.

description: Electricity price volatility in the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) poses significant financial threat to many players in the electricity market, though most of the financial burden falls on the retail electric providers (REPs). REPs are contractually obligated to purchase and provide all electricity that the end-user wishes to consume, even when the purchase of this electricity brings them financial losses. Electricity prices in ERCOT can increase from typical ranges ($30/MWh) to $3,000/MWh in as little as 15 minutes, causing REPs to seek mitigation techniques to avoid paying price spike prices for electricity. We explore two techniques for REPs to schedule mitigation techniques: a price prediction-based heuristic approach, as well as an optimal scheduling algorithm using dynamic programming (DP). We aim to optimally schedule these mitigation techniques which shift load from high price periods to times of lower prices, called demand response (DR). To achieve this load shifting, REPs remotely manipulate internet-connected thermostats of residential customers, thereby controlling a fraction of residential HVAC load. We found that the price prediction approach was highly unreliable, even for predicting prices as near as 5 minutes out. We therefore chose to rely on the DP as the primary scheduling model. By applying the DP deterministically to historical electricity price and weather data, the load-shifting technique is shown to potentially improve REP profit margins by 10% to 25% per customer annually. Most of these savings come from a few crucial events, highlighting the usefulness of the DP and the importance of accuracy in the timing of DR events. Due to the uncertainty in electricity prices, we apply a multi-objective approach considering the REP’s conflicting objectives: maximizing savings and minimizing financial risk. Results from this multi-objective formulation point to shorter duration DR events in the evening being the least risky, with additional savings possible through riskier short midday events. To ensure that REPs could apply our DP formulation for use in near real-time decision-making applications, the computation speed was verified to be under one second for 24 stages (i.e., 1-hour intervals for one day.)

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη και η σύνδεση μεταξύ των δύο αδικημάτων και συγκεκριμένα του αδικήματος της νομιμοποίησης εσόδων από παράνομες δραστηριότητες και της προηγούμενης (βασικής) άδικης πράξης. Αρχικά, αναδείχθηκε ο εξαρτημένος χαρακτήρας του αδικήματος της νομιμοποίησης εσόδων με την προηγουμένως τελεσθείσα άδικη πράξη, η εναρμόνιση του νόμου της νομιμοποίησης εσόδων με τις ευρωπαϊκές οδηγίες καθώς και επιδιώχθηκε να συγκεκριμενοποιηθεί το έννομο αγαθό που προστατεύεται. Στη συνέχεια διαχωρίστηκαν σύμφωνα με την νομοθεσία οι δύο άδικες πράξεις και παρουσιάστηκε αναλυτικά η έννοια του «αυτοξεπλύματος». Ακόμη στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία επιχειρήθηκε να αναφερθεί αναλυτικά και η ποινική μεταχείριση του δράστη στις περιπτώσεις όπου οι δραστηριότητες από τις οποίες προέρχεται η παράνομη περιουσία έλαβαν χώρα στο έδαφος άλλου κράτους, με την προϋπόθεση ότι η προηγούμενη άδικη πράξη είναι βασικό αδίκημα στην Ελλάδα και θεωρείται αξιόποινη σύμφωνα με την νομοθεσία του κράτους που τελέσθηκε καθώς και αναφέρθηκαν αναλυτικά οι εξαιρέσεις στον ανωτέρω κανόνα.
description: The aim of the thesis was to study and link between the two offences, specifically the offense of money laundering and the previous (main) wrongful act. Initially, the dependent nature of the money laundering offense was highlighted with the previously committed unjust act, the harmonization of the anti money laundering L. with European directives, and an attempt was made to specify the legal interest, which is protected. Then the two unfair acts were separated according to the legislation and the concept of "self-washing" was presented in detail. Even in this diplomatic work, an attempt was made to report in detail the criminal treatment of the perpetrator in cases where the activities from which the illegal property originates took place on the territory of another state, on the condition that the previous wrongful act is a basic offense in Greece and is considered punishable according to the legislation of the state that was carried out and the exceptions to the above rule were detailed.

description: Olfactory feedback for analytical tasks is a virtually unexplored area in spite of the advantages it offers for information recall, feature identification, and location detection. Here we introduce the concept of ‘Information Olfactation’ as the fragrant sibling of information visualization, and discuss how scent can be used to convey data. Building on a review of the human olfactory system and mirroring common visualization practice, we propose olfactory marks, the substrate in which they exist, and their olfactory channels that are available to designers. To exemplify this idea, we present ‘viScent(1.0)’: a six-scent stereo olfactory display capable of conveying olfactory glyphs of varying temperature and direction, as well as a corresponding software system that integrates the display with a traditional visualization display. We also conduct a comprehensive perceptual experiment on Information Olfactation: the use of olfactory marks and channels to convey data. More specifically, following the example from graphical perception studies, we design an experiment that studies the perceptual accuracy of four ``olfactory channels''---scent type, scent intensity, airflow, and temperature---for conveying three different types of data---nominal, ordinal, and quantitative. We also present details of an advanced 24-scent olfactory display: ‘viScent(2.0)’ and its software framework that we designed in order to run this experiment. Our results yield a ranking of olfactory channels for each data type that follows similar principles as rankings for visual channels, such as those derived by Mackinlay, Cleveland & McGill, and Bertin.

description: We present deep colour-magnitude diagrams for three rich intermediate-age star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud, constructed from archival ACS F435W and F814W imaging. All three clusters exhibit clear evidence for peculiar main-sequence turn-offs. NGC 1846 and 1806 each possess two distinct turn-off branches, while the turn-off for NGC 1783 shows a much larger spread in colour than can be explained by the photometric uncertainties. We demonstrate that although all three clusters contain significant populations of unresolved binary stars, these cannot be the underlying cause of the observed turn-off morphologies. The simplest explanation is that each cluster is composed of at least two different stellar populations with very similar metal abundances but ages separated by up to ~300 Myr. The origin of these unusual properties remains unidentified; however, the fact that at least three massive clusters containing multiple stellar populations are now known in the LMC suggests a potentially significant formation channel.

description: We study the consequences of the $f(R/\Box)$ gravity models for the Solar system and the large scale structure of the universe. The spherically symmetric solutions can be used to obtain bounds on the constant and the linear parts of the correction terms. The evolution of cosmological matter structures is shown to be governed by an effective time dependent Newton's constant. We also analyze the propagation of the perturbation modes. Tensor and vector modes are only slightly modified, but two new scalar degrees of freedom are present. Their causality and stability is demonstrated, and their formal ghost conditions are related to a singularity of the cosmological background. In general, the Newtonian limit of these models has no apparent conflicts with observations but can provide useful constraints.

description: Η έρευνα για την πρακτική του τρυπανισμού στην αρχαιότητα, στην συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των άρθρων που δημοσιεύονται, βασίζεται σε μελέτες περιπτώσεων και σπάνια σε συνθετικές εργασίες, με περιορισμένο ωστόσο γεωγραφικό ορίζοντα. Σκοπός της προτεινόμενης διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι, μέσα από συστηματική ανασκόπηση της διεθνούς βιβλιογραφίας, να διερευνήσει τη χωρική και χρονική κατανομή του τρυπανισμού. Τα δεδομένα από την κριτική αξιολόγηση των πηγών, θα συγκεντρωθούν σε βάση δεδομένων. Η μετα-ανάλυση θα εστιάσει στις τεχνικές, τα δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά, τη σχετιζόμενη παθολογία και τα ποσοστά επιβίωσης της επέμβασης. Τα αποτελέσματα που θα προκύψουν από την ευρείας κλίμακας ιχνηλάτηση των περιπτώσεων, αναμένεται να αποτυπώσουν και να αναδείξουν την πορεία του τρυπανισμού, μέσα από το πρίσμα της Βιοαρχαιολογίας και της Ιστορίας της Ιατρικής.
description: The study of trepanation in antiquity, as observed in the literature, predominantly revolves around case studies with a geographically narrow scope. Furthermore, there seems to be a scarcity of comprehensive synthesis within the research. The objective of this thesis is to delve into the spatiotemporal distribution of trepanation by reviewing the international literature. Through a systematic review of the literature, pertinent data was collated into a database. The meta-analysis placed emphasis on various facets including trepanation techniques, demographic attributes, concomitant pathologies, and operative survival rates. By examining trepanation through the lenses of Bioarchaeology and the History of Medicine, the thesis unraveled the evolution of this medical practice. This comprehensive approach fostered a broader understanding of the cultural, medical, and historical contexts underpinning the practice of trepanation across different civilizations and time periods.
