description: The present dissertation was prepared in the framework of the Postgraduate Program of the ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI DEPARTMENT OF LAW Interdepartmental P.M.S. «Land Registry: Legal, Technical and Environmental Dimensions. The main objective of the research was to investigate the contribution of Forest Maps and Forestry to the Protection of Forest Fires, with the study area of the Municipality of Kassandra, which belongs to the Regional Unit of Chalkidiki. The area and the time period of selection present intense phenomena of intense fires due to the fact that the Municipality of Kassandra continues to be under pressure from various factors regarding the change of land uses, with the consequence that it is threatened with further losses of forest areas in the future. The analysis of data on fire incidents come from the official bulletins of the Fire Brigade of Greece and according to the methodology are collected, processed and displayed with the help of images, maps and tables in order to interpret them and draw correct conclusions. The Geographic Information System was used and in particular the QGIS software, with which the process of processing geospatial data was implemented.
Parameter Estimation Bias From Overlapping Binary Black Hole Events In Second Generation Interferometers

description: Since the initial detection of Gravitational Waves in 2015, 50 candidate events have been reported by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. As the current generation of detectors move towards their design sensitivity the rate of these detections will increase. The next generation of detectors are likely to have high enough sensitivities that multiple merging binaries will be visible at the same time. In this paper we show that this is likely to happen before the end of the decade, with the move to the LIGO-Voyager detector. We investigate the situation of overlapping Binary-Black-Hole mergers in these detectors. We find that current parameter estimation techniques are capable of distinguishing the louder of two merging BBH events, without significant bias, when their merger times are not less than $\sim0.1$ seconds apart and when the ratio of the signal-to-noise ratios of the systems is uneven. This region of overlapping parameter space is dependent upon the sky locations of the signals and the relation of those locations to the light travel time between detectors. We also find that, if two signals are highly overlapping, then the recovered set of parameters often show strong evidence of precession. Finally we show that bias can occur even when the signal causing the bias is below the detection threshold.

description: Recently, in arXiv, we have proposed a discussion about the Egyptian kings Shepseskaf and Userkaf, in relation to an eclipse of 2471 BC. Here, in this further discussion we must focus on some further points, specifically on two we have not mentioned before, but that we can find reported by Italian newspapers and websites, particularly Wired Italia.  The two points are regarding the end of the dominance of the solar cult, as declared by archaeoastronomer G. Magli to newspapers and websites. This end would have been caused by the solar eclipse, which Shepseskaf would have witnessed and reacted accordingly. We will stress that the solar cult does not end at the end of the Fourth Dynasty but becomes dominant during the following Fifth Dynasty. The other point we discuss is the interiors of Shepseskaf’s mastaba. It is strictly necessary to note that this mastaba was restored by Khaemwaset, the fourth son of Ramesses II. We know this fact by an inscription inside the mastaba. We also consider what is reported by earth.com, where we even find "evidence of this eclipse exists ... in... ancient texts". There is no ancient Egyptian text that refers to the eclipse of 2471 BC.

description: Single-molecule junctions are found to show anomalous spikes in dI/dV spectra. The position in energy of the spikes are related to local vibration mode energies. A model of vibrationally induced two-level systems reproduces the data very well. This mechanism is expected to be quite general for single-molecule junctions. It acts as an intrinsic amplification mechanism for local vibration mode features and may be exploited as a new spectroscopic tool.

description: A virtual element method (VEM) with the first order optimal convergence order is developed for solving two-dimensional Maxwell interface problems on a special class of polygonal meshes that are cut by the interface from a background unfitted mesh. A novel virtual space is introduced on a virtual triangulation of the polygonal mesh satisfying a maximum angle condition, which shares exactly the same degrees of freedom as the usual H(curl)-conforming virtual space. This new virtual space serves as the key to prove that the optimal error bounds of the VEM are independent of high aspect ratio of the possible anisotropic polygonal mesh near the interface.

Hole dynamics in an antiferromagnet across a deconfined quantum critical point

description: We study the effects of a small density of holes, delta, on a square lattice antiferromagnet undergoing a continuous transition from a Neel state to a valence bond solid at a deconfined quantum critical point. We argue that at non-zero delta, it is likely that the critical point broadens into a non-Fermi liquid `holon metal' phase with fractionalized excitations. The holon metal phase is flanked on both sides by Fermi liquid states with Fermi surfaces enclosing the usual Luttinger area. However the electronic quasiparticles carry distinct quantum numbers in the two Fermi liquid phases, and consequently the limit of the ratio A_F/delta, as delta tends to zero (where A_F is the area of a hole pocket) has a factor of 2 discontinuity across the quantum critical point of the insulator. We demonstrate that the electronic spectrum at this transition is described by the `boundary' critical theory of an impurity coupled to a 2+1 dimensional conformal field theory. We compute the finite temperature quantum-critical electronic spectra and show that they resemble "Fermi arc" spectra seen in recent photoemission experiments on the pseudogap phase of the cuprates.

description: First-principles calculations reveal that sodium boride (NaB3) undergoes a phase transition from a tetragonal P4/mbm phase to an orthorhombic Pbam phase at about 16 GPa, accompanied by counterintuitive lattice expansion along the crystallographic a-axis. This unusual compression behavior is identified as negative linear compressibility (NLC), which is dominantly attributed to the symmetry-breaking of boron framework. Meanwhile, the P4/mbm and Pbam phases form superionic conductors after undergoing a peculiar swap state at high temperature. Specifically, under warm conditions the Na cation pairs exhibit a rare local exchange (or rotation) behavior, which may be originated from the asymmetric energy barriers of different diffusion paths. The study of NaB3 compound sheds new light on a material with the combination of NLC and ion transportation at extreme conditions.

description: BACKGROUND: Learning to perform new movements is usually achieved by following visual demonstrations. Haptic guidance by a force feedback device is a recent and original technology which provides additional proprioceptive cues during visuo-motor learning tasks. The effects of two types of haptic guidances-control in position (HGP) or in force (HGF)-on visuo-manual tracking ("following") of trajectories are still under debate. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPALS FINDINGS: Three training techniques of haptic guidance (HGP, HGF or control condition, NHG, without haptic guidance) were evaluated in two experiments. Movements produced by adults were assessed in terms of shapes (dynamic time warping) and kinematics criteria (number of velocity peaks and mean velocity) before and after the training sessions. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: These results show that the addition of haptic information, probably encoded in force coordinates, play a crucial role on the visuo-manual tracking of new trajectories.
An Introduction to Loop Quantum Gravity Through Cosmology

description: This introductory review is addressed to beginning researchers. Some of the distinguishing features of loop quantum gravity are illustrated through loop quantum cosmology of FRW models. In particular, these examples illustrate: i) how `emergent time' can arise; ii) how the technical issue of solving the Hamiltonian constraint and constructing the \emph{physical} sector of the theory can be handled; iii) how questions central to the Planck scale physics can be answered using such a framework; and, iv) how quantum geometry effects can dramatically change physics near singularities and yet naturally turn themselves off and reproduce classical general relativity when space-time curvature is significantly weaker than the Planck scale.

description: Sports data is more readily available and consequently, there has been an increase in the amount of sports analysis, predictions and rankings in the literature. Sports are unique in their respective stochastic nature, making analysis, and accurate predictions valuable to those involved in the sport. In response, we focus on Siamese Neural Networks (SNN) in unison with LightGBM and XGBoost models, to predict the importance of matches and to rank teams in Rugby and Basketball. Six models were developed and compared, a LightGBM, a XGBoost, a LightGBM (Contrastive Loss), LightGBM (Triplet Loss), a XGBoost (Contrastive Loss), XGBoost (Triplet Loss). The models that utilise a Triplet loss function perform better than those using Contrastive loss. It is clear LightGBM (Triplet loss) is the most effective model in ranking the NBA, producing a state of the art (SOTA) mAP (0.867) and NDCG (0.98) respectively. The SNN (Triplet loss) most effectively predicted the Super 15 Rugby, yielding the SOTA mAP (0.921), NDCG (0.983), and $r_s$ (0.793). Triplet loss produces the best overall results displaying the value of learning representations/embeddings for prediction and ranking of sports. Overall there is not a single consistent best performing model across the two sports indicating that other Ranking models should be considered in the future.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the evaluation of three types of gels (hydrogels, oleogels, hybrid gels) as coatings and delivery systems of bioactive compounds of chemical and natural origin, for the preservation of sardine fillets. We examined the affect of the individual coatings on the oxidative and microbial deterioration of the samples. Subsequently, the effectiveness of the incorporation of potassium sorbate, BHA and rosemary extract in the coatings was estimated. Rosemary extract was also evaluated for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Finally, the effectiveness of rosemary extract as both an antioxidant and an antimicrobial was evaluated when incorporated into each of the two phases of the hybrid gels.

Faint galaxies are particularly interesting as they are very sensitive to environmental effects, and may have a different behaviour from that of bright galaxies. The aim of this paper is to sample the Coma cluster building history, based on the analysis of galaxy luminosity functions and red sequences in the Color Magnitude Relation down to faint magnitudes, which are privileged tools for this purpose. The present analysis is based on deep (R~24), wide (~0.5 deg2) multiband (BVRI Vega system) images of the Coma cluster obtained with the CFH12K camera at the CFHT. We have derived LFs and CMRs in twenty 10x10 arcmin2 regions and in larger regions. In all photometric bands, we found steeply rising LFs in the north-northeast half of the cluster (due to early type galaxies at bright magnitudes and due to late type galaxies at the faint end), and much flatter LFs in the south-southwest region. Although the fine behaviour of the CMR RS is different in these two regions, a good agreement is found in general between the RS computed for faint and for bright galaxies. All these results can be interpreted consistently in the framework of the building up process previously proposed. The Northern Coma area is a relatively quiescent region while the southern area experiences several infalls.

Industry structure, market structure and international trade: theoretical and empirical observations
Creators: name: White, Lynda E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This paper describes international trade activity as affected by the structure of markets and industries. The paper builds upon recent international economic literature that models international trade within imperfect markets. Arguments for trade intervention by national governments in order to shift industry rents to the home nation are further surveyed. Similar trade models are used to explain economic growth from both a national and global standing. A Cournot perception of competitive behaviour is employed within a basic model developed of two-country, intra-industry, oligopolistic trade of a homogeneous good. The model predicts that lower marginal costs lead to higher output and lower relative costs lead to higher relative market share than of the foreign rival industry. However, firm number within the relative industry can offset cost effects. If fixed costs are present, gains from rationalization may be realized through trade and result in higher industry concentration. In order to test the hypothesis that higher concentration of industry leads to greater trade, particularly export trade, the paper applies regression technique to measure the relationship between Canadian industry exports and a variety of concentration variables. Results show more highly concentrated industries to have greater export volume. When standardized export and concentration variables are used, weak evidence is presented that export and concentration in Canada are positively related. However, analysis of United States industries confirms that concentration explains a significant amount of industry propensity to export. Based on testing and other empirical results, it is concluded that rationalization of costs associated with export trade and/or ability to discriminate between markets motivates trade in concentrated industries. Under imperfect market conditions, government may want to intervene in trade by promoting higher concentration of industry if net social surplus gains through trade can be realized. Competition policy may promote not only combine activity but also cooperation between firms in order to reduce duplication of international trading costs. If competition policy affects international trade partners, regulators of world trade activity may take interest in national policy related to industry structure and competition as it affects global welfare.

description: We study the dynamics of fast two-beam collisions in linear optical media with weak cubic loss in spatial dimension higher than 1. For this purpose, we extend the perturbation theory that was developed for analyzing two-pulse collisions in spatial dimension 1 to spatial dimension 2. We use the extended two-dimensional version of the perturbation theory to show that the collision leads to a change in the beam shapes in the direction transverse to the relative velocity vector. Furthermore, we show that in the important case of a separable initial condition for both beams, the longitudinal part in the expression for the amplitude shift is universal, while the transverse part is not universal. Additionally, we demonstrate that the same behavior holds for collisions between pulsed optical beams in spatial dimension 3. We check these predictions of the perturbation theory along with other predictions concerning the effects on the collision of partial beam overlap and anisotropy in the initial condition by extensive numerical simulations with the weakly perturbed linear propagation model in spatial dimensions 2 and 3. The agreement between the perturbation theory and the simulations is very good. Therefore, our study significantly extends and generalizes the results of previous works, which were limited to spatial dimension 1.

description: Diffusivity, a measure for how rapidly a fluid self-mixes, shows an intimate, but seemingly fragmented, connection to thermodynamics. On one hand, the "configurational" contribution to entropy (related to the number of mechanically-stable configurations that fluid molecules can adopt) has long been considered key for predicting supercooled liquid dynamics near the glass transition. On the other hand, the excess entropy (relative to ideal gas) provides a robust scaling for the diffusivity of fluids above the freezing point. Here we provide, to our knowledge, the first evidence that excess entropy also captures how supercooling a fluid modifies its diffusivity, suggesting that dynamics, from ideal gas to glass, is related to a single, standard thermodynamic quantity.

Lattice QCD with a chiral twist

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)

description: In these lectures I explain how chiral symmetry of continuum QCD naturally leads to a class of lattice regularisations known as twisted mass QCD (tmQCD). As compared to standard Wilson quarks, its advantages are the absence of unphysical zero modes, the possibility to circumvent lattice renormalisation problems and automatic O(a) improvement. On the other hand, the physical parity and flavour symmetries are explicitly broken. I discuss these aspects and then turn to the theory in a finite space-time volume with Schroedinger functional boundary conditions. Again, chiral transformations of the continuum theory may be used as a guide to formulate an alternative lattice regularisation of the Schrödinger functional, with interesting applications to renormalization problems in QCD.

Particle multiplicities and particle ratios in excluded volume model

description: One of the most surprising results is to find that a consistent description of all the experimental results on particle multiplicities and particle ratios obtained from the lowest AGS to the highest RHIC energies is possible within the framework of a thermal statistical model. We propose here a thermodynamically consistent excluded-volume model involving an interacting multi-component hadron gas. We find that the energy dependence of the total multiplicities of strange and non-strange hadrons obtained in this model agrees closely with the experimental results. It indicates that the freeze out volume of the fireball is uniformly the same for all the particles. We have also compared the variation of the particle ratios such as $/, < K^{-}>/, K^{-}/K^{+}, \bar{p}/p, \barΛ/Λ, \barΞ/Ξ, \barΩ/Ω, < Λ>/, /, /$ and $/$ with respect to the center-of-mass energy as predicted by our model with the recent experimental data.

description: {Magnetic fields exist on all scales in our Galaxy. There is a controversy about whether the magnetic fields in molecular clouds are preserved from the permeated magnetic fields in the interstellar medium (ISM) during cloud formation. We investigate this controversy using available data in the light of the newly revealed magnetic field structure of the Galactic disk obtained from pulsar rotation measures (RMs).} % {We collected measurements of the magnetic fields in molecular clouds, including Zeeman splitting data of OH masers in clouds and OH or HI absorption or emission lines of clouds themselves.} % {The Zeeman data show structures in the sign distribution of the line-of-sight component of the magnetic field. Compared to the large-scale Galactic magnetic fields derived from pulsar RMs, the sign distribution of the Zeeman data shows similar large-scale field reversals. Previous such examinations were flawed in the over-simplified global model used for the large-scale magnetic fields in the Galactic disk.} % {We conclude that the magnetic fields in the clouds may still ``remember'' the directions of magnetic fields in the Galactic ISM to some extent, and could be used as complementary tracers of the large-scale magnetic structure. More Zeeman data of OH masers in widely distributed clouds are required.}

description: We establish new existence and non-existence results for positive solutions of the Einstein-scalar field Lichnerowicz equation on compact manifolds. This equation arises from the Hamiltonian constraint equation for the Einstein-scalar field system in general relativity. Our analysis introduces variational techniques, in the form of the mountain pass lemma, to the analysis of the Hamiltonian constraint equation, which has been previously studied by other methods.

description: In the cuprates, the lightly-doped region is of major interest because superconductivity, antiferromagnetism, and the pseudogap state \cite{Timusk,Lee,Anderson} come together near a critical doping value $x_c$. These states are deeply influenced by phase fluctuations \cite{Emery} which lead to a vortex-liquid state that surrounds the superconducting region \cite{WangPRB01,WangPRB06}. However, many questions \cite{Doniach,Fisher,FisherLee,Tesanovic,Sachdev} related to the nature of the transition and vortex-liquid state at very low tempera- tures $T$ remain open because the diamagnetic signal is difficult to resolve in this region. Here, we report torque magnetometry results on $\rm La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4$ (LSCO) which show that superconductivity is lost at $x_c$ by quantum phase fluctuations. We find that, in a magnetic field $H$, the vortex solid-to-liquid transition occurs at field $H_m$ much lower than the depairing field $H_{c2}$. The vortex liquid exists in the large field interval $H_m \ll H_{c2}$, even in the limit $T\to$0. The resulting phase diagram reveals the large fraction of the $x$-$H$ plane occupied by the quantum vortex liquid.
