description: The Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) can incorporate inflation, where a combination of the Higgs-doublet fields plays the role of the inflaton. At the high scale, the Higgs doublets are non-minimally coupled to supergravity; this coupling appears as an additional contribution to the $μ$ term in the low-energy effective superpotential and potentially changes physics at the electroweak scale. In a recent publication, we investigate the extended parameter space of this model with respect to collider phenomenology at the electroweak scale, and discuss scenarios which are potentially different from the pure NMSSM. We analyse the stability of the electroweak vacuum, the masses of neutralinos/charginos and Higgs bosons as well as the mixing and decays of Higgs bosons. Some important aspects of this study are described in the following.

description: The present study explores the mechanisms activated in the formation of Greek deverbal compounds by native speakers (language instructors and high school pupils). We aim to investigate a) the preferred compound internal structure, b) the location of stress, c) the presence and the role of the linking vowel, d) the position of compound heads, e) the depth of semantic and morphological compound transparency. We further examined the role of age in compound learning and the extent to which systematic teaching influences the perception of deverbal compounds. The emergent data are usedin order to make certain teaching proposals regarding deverbal compounds.

description: If trees are constructed from a pure birth process and one defines the depth of a leaf to be the number of edges to its root, it is known that the variance in the depth of a randomly selected leaf of a randomly selected tree grows linearly in time. In this letter, we instead consider the variance of the average depth of leaves within each individual tree, establishing that, in contrast, it converges to a constant, $7$. This result indicates that while the variance in leaf depths amongst the ensemble of pure birth processes undergoes large fluctuations, the average depth across individual trees is much more consistent.

description: We consider the effect of electron correlations on tunneling from a 2D electron layer in a magnetic field parallel to the layer. A tunneling electron can exchange its momentum with other electrons, which leads to an exponential increase of the tunneling rate compared to the single-electron approximation. Explicit results are obtained for a Wigner crystal. They provide a qualitative and quantitative explanation of the data on electrons on helium. We also discuss tunneling in semiconductor heterostructures.

description: Effects associated in quantum mechanics with a divisible probability wave are explained as physically real consequences of the equal but opposite reaction of the apparatus as a particle is measured. Taking as illustration a Mach-Zehnder interferometer operating by refraction, it is shown that this reaction must comprise a fluctuation in the reradiation field of complementary effect to the changes occurring in the photon as it is projected into one or other path. The evolution of this fluctuation through the experiment will explain the alternative states of the particle discerned in self interference, while the maintenance of equilibrium in the face of such fluctuations becomes the source of the Born probabilities. In this scheme, the probability wave is a mathematical artifact, epistemic rather than ontic, and akin in this respect to the simplifying constructions of geometrical optics.

description: By analyzing large quantities of discharges in the unfavorable ion $ \vec B\times \nabla B $ drift direction, the I-mode operation has been confirmed in EAST tokamak. During the L-mode to I-mode transition, the energy confinement has a prominent improvement by the formation of a high-temperature edge pedestal, while the particle confinement remains almost identical to that in the L-mode. Similar with the I-mode observation on other devices, the $ E_r $ profiles obtained by the eight-channel Doppler backscattering system (DBS8)\cite{J.Q.Hu} show a deeper edge $ E_r $ well in the I-mode than that in the L-mode. And a weak coherent mode (WCM) with the frequency range of 40-150 kHz is observed at the edge plasma with the radial extend of about 2-3 cm. WCM could be observed in both density fluctuation and radial electric field fluctuation, and the bicoherence analyses showed significant couplings between WCM and high frequency turbulence, implying that the $ E_r $ fluctuation and the caused flow shear from WCM should play an important role during I-mode. In addition, a low-frequency oscillation with a frequency range of 5-10 kHz is always accompanied with WCM, where GAM intensity is decreased or disappeared. Many evidences show that the a low-frequency oscillation may be a novel kind of limited cycle oscillation but further investigations are needed to explain the new properties such as the harmonics and obvious magnetical perturbations.

description: Low frequency dielectric measurements on plexiglass (PMMA) show that cooling and heating the sample at constant rate give an hysteretic dependence on temperature of the dielectric constant $ε$. A temporary stop of cooling produces a downward relaxation of $ε$. Two main features are observed i) when cooling is resumed $ε$ goes back to the values obtained without the cooling stop (i.e. the low temperature state is independent of the cooling history) ii) upon reheating $ε$ keeps the memory of the aging history ({\it Memory}). The analogies and differences with similar experiments done in spin glasses are discussed.

description: We carry out the first step of a program conceived, in order to build a realistic model, having the particle spectrum of the standard model and renormalized masses, interaction terms and couplings, etc. which include the class of quantum gravity corrections, obtained by handling gravity as an effective theory. This provides an adequate picture at low energies, i.e. much less than the scale of strong gravity (the Planck mass). Hence our results are valid, irrespectively of any proposal for the full quantum gravity as a fundamental theory. We consider only non-analytic contributions to the one-loop scattering matrix elements, which provide the dominant quantum effect at long distance. These contributions are finite and independent from the finite value of the renormalization counter terms of the effective lagrangian. We calculate the interaction of two heavy scalar particles, i.e. close to rest, due to the effective quantum gravity to the one loop order and compare with similar results in the literature.

Tensor and scalar interactions of neutrinos may lead to observable neutrino magnetic moments

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recently more generalized four-fermion interactions of neutrinos such as tensor and scalar interactions (TSIs) have been extensively studied in response to forthcoming precision measurements of neutrino interactions. In this letter, we show that due to the chirality-flipping nature, at the 1-loop level TSIs typically generate much larger ($10^{7}\sim10^{10}$) neutrino magnetic moments ($ν$MMs) than the vector case. For some cases, the large $ν$MMs generated by TSIs may reach or exceed the known bounds, which implies potentially important interplay between probing TSIs and searching for $ν$MMs in current and future neutrino experiments.

description: We report a mechanism which can lead to long range attractions between like-charged spherical macroions, stemming from the existence of metastable ionized states. We show that the ground state of a single highly charged colloid plus a few excess counterions is overcharged. For the case of two highly charged macroions in their neutralizing divalent counterion solution we demonstrate that, in the regime of strong Coulomb coupling, the counterion clouds are very likely to be unevenly distributed, leading to one overcharged and one undercharged macroion. This long-living metastable configuration in turn leads to a long range Coulomb attraction.

The verb forming suffix -ízo and its similative meaning
Creators: name: Lampropoulou, Martha
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2017
Subjects: the suffix -ízo; similative meaning; word-formation; metaphor; metonymy

description: This paper attempts to specify the semantic motivation of -ízo derivatives which bear the [+similative] feature. The similative sense of -ízo refers to the similarity of the appearance or manner of an individual/entity to that of another individual/entity. It is assumed that the properties of the base in combination with the suffix trigger a conceptual metaphoric and metonymic link and give rise to a repetitive sense of -ίzo derivatives i.e μαϊμού [maimoú]‘monkey’ >μαϊμουδίζω [maimoudízo] ‘behave like a monkey in terms of manner-s’. This sense is part of the semantics of -izo; according to Efthymiou (2011); the most prominent meaning of the suffix -ízo is that of ‘use X’, where X stands for an instrument. Nevertheless, the similative meaning is quite frequent. The study also comprises an empirical part: a questionnaire given to 30 native speakers of Greek examining possible formations of -ízo derivatives [+similative]. The derivatives of -ízo are examined through morphological studies (Efthymiou 2011; Mela-Athanasopoulou 2007; Plag 1999). The Cognitive Linguistic framework (Langacker 2009; Radden & Kövecses 1999) is also adopted in order to clarify further the plurality of meanings of a single suffix.

Abstract:The static and dynamical properties of one-dimensional water chains confined in zeolitic channels are studied by means of the Car Parrinello method. The properties of such an unusual water structure, present in zeolites Li−ABW and bikitaite, are reported and compared. Differences in the zeolitic frameworks are responsible for the different properties of the water chains. A more rigid chain structure is found in bikitaite, whereas our calculations predict that in Li−ABW water molecules are allowed some rotational degrees of freedom. We interpret such a finding on the basis of the different strengths of host−guest dipolar interactions. Weaker interactions in Li−ABW allow for rotation of water molecules.

description: We propose and investigate the modified Born$-$Infeld-type gravity model with the function $F(R) = [1-(1-βR/σ)^σ]/β$. At different values of the dimensionless parameter $σ$ the action is converted into some models including general relativity ($σ=1$), the Starobinsky model ($σ=2$), the exponential model of gravity ($σ=\infty$), and a model proposed in [9], [10] ($σ=0.5$). A bound on the parameters, $β(1-σ)/σ\leq 2\times 10^{-6}$ cm$^2$, are due to local tests. The constant curvature solutions are obtained, and we found the potential, and the mass of the scalaron in the Einstein frame. The model describes the inflation of the universe. The de Sitter spacetime is unstable and a Minkovsky spacetime is stable. We investigate the cosmological parameters and some critical points of autonomous equations.

description: Τhis paper reports on a questionnaire study investigating primary school teachers’ (N=85) attitudes and practices with regard to bilingualism in their classes. The study was conducted in three major Greek cities in 2013-14 as part of a large European Union funded project (‘Thalis’) on bilingualism and bilingual education, run by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Our findings demonstrate that teachers are divided between those who are more aware of the benefits of bilingualism and adopt related practices and those who are more conservative in their views and practices. The need for continuing professional development aiming to enhance teachers’ awareness on issues connected to bilingualism cannot be overestimated.

Modeling Premartensitic effects in Ni2MnGa: A Mean Field and Monte Carlo Simulation Study

description: The degenerate Blume-Emery-Griffiths model for martensitic transformations is extended by including both structural and magnetic degrees of freedom in order to elucidate premartensitic effects. Special attention is paied to the effect of the magnetoelastic coupling in Ni2MnGa. The microscopic model is constructed and justified based on the analysis of the experimentally observed strain variables and precursor phenomena. The description includes the (local) tetragonal distortion, the amplitude of the plane-modulating strain, and the magnetization. The model is solved by means of mean-field theory and Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that a variety of premartensitic effects may appear due to the magnetoelastic coupling. For large values of the magnetoelastic coupling parameter we find a premartensitic first-order transition line ending in a critical point. This critical point is responsible for the existence of large premartensitic fluctuations which manifest as broad peaks in the specific heat, not always associated with a true phase transition. The main conclusion is that premartensitic effects result from the interplay between the softness of the anomalous phonon driving the modulation and the magnetoelastic coupling. In particular, the premartensitic transition occurs when such coupling is strong enough to freeze the involved mode phonon.

Implementing differentiated instruction in the Greek state primary school: Teachers’ attitudes and preferred differentiated strategies
Creators: name: Mavroudi, Anastasia
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2017
Subjects: differentiated instruction; differentiated strategies; English language teaching; Greek state schools; primary education

description: This paper investigates the attitudes of Greek state school teachers of English towards differentiated instruction. A self-report questionnaire has served as a research instrument in this case. The questionnaire was completed by 149 teachers working in Greek state primary schools. The findings demonstrate that the respondents’ overall attitude towards differentiated instruction is positive and that participants have adopted several differentiated strategies. Nevertheless, differentiated instruction cannot be said to have been fully implemented in the context of the Greek state school, due to teachers’ misconceptions of its underlying principles, as well as practical considerations, such as lack of training and resources.

Abstract:The static and dynamical properties of one-dimensional water chains confined in zeolitic channels are studied by means of the Car Parrinello method. The properties of such an unusual water structure, present in zeolites Li−ABW and bikitaite, are reported and compared. Differences in the zeolitic frameworks are responsible for the different properties of the water chains. A more rigid chain structure is found in bikitaite, whereas our calculations predict that in Li−ABW water molecules are allowed some rotational degrees of freedom. We interpret such a finding on the basis of the different strengths of host−guest dipolar interactions. Weaker interactions in Li−ABW allow for rotation of water molecules.

description: We study the rotational motion of the galaxy cluster Abell 2107 at redshift z = 0.04 and its connection to nearby large-scale structures using a large amount of spectroscopic redshift data. By combining 978 new redshifts from the MMT/Hectospec observations with data in the literature, we construct a large sample of 1968 galaxies with measured redshifts at clustercentric radius $R < 60^\prime$. Our sample has high (80%) and spatially uniform completeness at r-band apparent magnitude $m_{r,\textrm{Petro},0}$ < 19.1. We first apply the caustic method to the sample and identify 285 member galaxies of Abell 2107 at $R < 60^\prime$. Then the rotation amplitude and the position angle of rotation axis are measured. We find that the member galaxies show strong global rotation at $R < 20^\prime$ ($v_\textrm{rot}/σ_v$ ~0.6) with a significance of > 3.8$σ$, which is confirmed by two independent methods. The rotation becomes weaker in outer regions. There are at least five filamentary structures that are connected to the cluster and that consist of known galaxy groups. These structures are smoothly connected to the cluster, which seem to be inducing the global rotation of the cluster through inflow of galaxies.

Advanced translation research steps and tools used in ESP teaching
Creators: name: Nikolarea, Ekaterini
Publisher: name: Selected papers on theoretical and applied linguistics
Year: 2017
Subjects: advanced translation research steps and tools; untranslatability; equivalence; interdisciplinarity; inter-scientific competence; inter-scientificity

description: This presentation is an intellectual and a mental exercise of an ESP teacher in various departments at a non-English (i.e. Greek) University, who has encountered two different but very problematic case studies in her ESP teaching: • How can waves of translation and the polysemous terminological entity bed be rendered in Greek? • Where can their possible equivalences be found and how can one be sure for their appropriate use? To answer these questions, the author explores how the advanced search for translators methodology and the concept of inter-scientificity can help ESP teachers acquire a better knowledge of the domain-related discourse(s) they may teach in English. Finally, considering the complexity of teaching ESP/EAP at non-English universities, the writer wishes to see ESP teachers cooperate with a variety of specialists (i.e. specialists in scientific domains, translation scholars, lexicographers) to take further their teaching.

description: The prevalence of skin melanoma is rapidly increasing as well as the recorded death cases of its patients. Automatic image segmentation tools play an important role in providing standardized computer-assisted analysis for skin melanoma patients. Current state-of-the-art segmentation methods are based on fully convolutional neural networks, which utilize an encoder-decoder approach. However, these methods produce coarse segmentation masks due to the loss of location information during the encoding layers. Inspired by Pyramid Scene Parsing Network (PSP-Net), we propose an encoder-decoder model that utilizes pyramid pooling modules in the deep skip connections which aggregate the global context and compensate for the lost spatial information. We trained and validated our approach using ISIC 2018: Skin Lesion Analysis Towards Melanoma Detection grand challenge dataset. Our approach showed a validation accuracy with a Jaccard index of 0.837, which outperforms U-Net. We believe that with this reported reliable accuracy, this method can be introduced for clinical practice.

description: Research into learners’ development of motivation has been a challenging endeavour. The present study[1]explores EFL learners’ course of motivation and motivational orientations as their age advances from primary to secondary education and seeks possible relations between those learners’ motivation, gender, and their self-perceived language proficiency. The participants were 3,356 elementary (10-12 years of age) and lower secondary school (13-15 years of age) learners from all over Greece. The results portray the dynamics of motivation over time and the transition of interest in preferred reasons for learning English. They also confirm previous studies with regard to differences in education level, gender, and self-perceived proficiency level. [1] This study is part of the THALES project MIS 379335. It was held in the frame of the National Strategic Reference Frame (Ε.Σ.Π.Α.) and was co-funded by resources of the European Union (European Social Fund) and national resources.

description: To derive current real-world data on the rates and costs of severe hypoglycemia (SH) for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) who have initiated basal insulin therapy and to examine differences in SH rates and costs stratified by history of prior SH events. We used a nation-wide electronic health records database that included encounter and laboratory data, as well as clinical notes, to estimate the rates and costs of SH events among adults with T2D who initiated basal insulin between 2008 and 2011. Unadjusted and regression-adjusted rates and quarterly costs were calculated for all patients as well as stratified by history of a SH event before starting basal insulin and history of a SH event during the basal insulin titration period. We identified 7235 incident cases of basal insulin use among patients with T2D who did not use insulin during the previous 12 months. Regression-adjusted incidence and total event rates were 10.36 and 11.21 per 100 patient-years, respectively. A history of SH events during the pre-index baseline and post-index titration periods were statistically significantly associated with both the incidence and total event rates (p < 0.01). Regression-adjusted total healthcare and diabetes-related costs were statistically significantly (p < 0.01) higher in those quarters when a SH event occurred than in those quarters without any SH events ($3591 vs. $487 and $3311 vs. $406, respectively). A history of previous SH or SH events during the titration period were not statistically significantly associated with costs. These results suggest that the real-world burden of SH is high among people with T2D who start using basal insulin and that history of previous SH events, both before starting insulin and during the insulin titration period, influences future SH. These results can also provide insights into interventions that can prevent or delay SH. These results should, however, be interpreted in light of the key limitations of our study: not all SH events may have been captured or coded in the database, data on filled prescriptions were not available, and the post-titration follow-up period could have been divided into time units other than quarters (3 month blocks) resulting in potentially different conclusions. Further real-world studies on the frequency and costs of SH, using methods to identify as many SH events as possible, can allow healthcare providers to make more informed decisions on the risks and benefits of basal insulin therapy in T2D patients.

description: Given the significance of sentence repetition as a possible clinical marker across languages for specific language impairment (SLI), this study investigates Cypriot Greek. It reports on the clinical utility of a sentence repetition task (SRT) to distinguish children with SLI from those with typical language development (TLD). The research questions address (i) quantitative differences on SRT abilities between children with SLI (n=16) and TLD (n=22), (ii) SRT performance influenced by sentence length as related to short-term working memory span, and (iii) possible correlations of SRT scores with a global language test used for the identification of SLI in Cyprus.
