description: Στην παρούσα εργασία, γίνεται μία προσπάθεια ανάλυσης του ποιήματος του Ρίτσου, η Σονάτα του Σεληνόφωτος και ο εντοπισμός στοιχείων χρόνου και πολιτικής μέσα στο ποίημα. Στη συνέχεια αναλύεται ο χρόνος και η πολιτική σε συνάρτηση με το ποίημα και πώς ερμηνεύουν αυτές τις έννοιες ορισμένοι φιλόσοφοι. Ακολουθώντας χρονολογική πορεία από την αρχαία προς τη νεότερη φιλοσοφία, η ανάλυση ξεκινά από την αρχαιότητα με τον Αριστοτέλη ο οποίος συνδύασε το χρόνο με την πολιτική. Έπειτα αναφέρονται συνοπτικά θεωρίες περί χρόνου από τον Πλάτωνα και τον Αριστοτέλη. Στη συνέχεια αναλύεται το πώς ο Kant ερμηνεύει το χρόνο και το πώς ο Heidegger ερμηνεύει την καντιανή σκέψη περί χρόνου. Έπειτα παραθέτονται απόψεις περί πολιτικής, κυρίως του Marx και επιπλέον, γίνεται και μία αναφορά στον Kant. Είναι γνωστή η αριστερή διανόηση του Ρίτσου και η επιρροή που ασκήθηκε σ’ αυτόν από τη φιλοσοφία, από την αρχαία ελληνική γραμματεία και από πολιτικές θεωρίες όπως του Marx.
description: In the present work, an attempt is made to analyze the Ritsus poem, the Sonata of the Moon and the identification of time and politics within the poem. It then analyzes time and politics in relation to the poem, and how some philosophers interpret these concepts. Following a chronological journey from ancient to modern philosophy, the analysis begins from antiquity with Aristotle, who combined time with politics. Summarized theories of time are then given by Plato and Aristotle. Then we analyze how Kant interprets time and how Heidegger interprets the Kantian thought about time. Then there are views on politics, especially Marx, and further, there is a reference to Kant. The left intellect of Ritsos and the influence exerted on him by philosophy, the ancient Greek literature and political theories such as Marx are known.

Teacher Perspectives on the Pandemic Study
Creators: name: Molnar, Danielle S.
name: Zinga, Dawn
Publisher: name: OSF Registries
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: This mixed methods prospective longitudinal study will examine the roles of a range of intrapersonal (e.g., perfectionism, HEXACO personality traits, social comparison) and interpersonal (e.g., social connection, teaching environment) factors related to mental health, burnout, and well-being among teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, we will examine how each of these factors changes across time (e.g., intrapersonal factors, interpersonal factors, mental health, burnout, well-being). We plan on testing the potential moderating roles of gender identity, years of teaching experience, perceived institutional support, work environment (e.g., workload), and perceived control, teaching modality (online versus blended) and position (e.g., permanent contract, occasional etc.) within these relationships. With respect to personality (e.g., perfectionism), we will be testing three competing theoretical models linking personality and mental health, burnout, and well-being outcomes (i.e., vulnerability model, scar model, reciprocal model). We will also be testing potential explanatory mechanisms in the relationship between personality and mental health, burnout, and well-being (e.g., stress, social connection, social comparison). We will also test the unique predictive utility of perfectionism with respect to mental health, burnout, and well-being over and above broader personality traits (i.e., HEXACO). Not all models and variables will be tested simultaneously. Half-longitudinal designs will be tested when data from two time points have been collected, and full longitudinal designs will be tested when data from all three timepoints have been collected.

Using qualitative research methods (e.g., semi-structured interviews), we will be exploring the lived experiences of a subset of our participants, focusing on their experiences in teaching during the pandemic, their experiences using technology, their mental health and coping strategies, and their understanding and experiences with perfectionism. We plan on linking these interview transcripts to their survey responses to examine whether teachers’ experiences during the pandemic vary as a function of gender identity, position, teaching delivery mode (online versus blended) and/or whether they self-identify as a perfectionist. We also plan on examining their responses to the perfectionism scale included in our survey to support their identification (or not) as a perfectionist. Qualitative analysis will begin once the first round of interviews has been completed.

description: We consider interacting massive scalar quantum field theory in the future Rindler wedge. This is a model example of quantum field theory in curved space--time. On this simple example we show how dynamics of correlation functions depends on the choice of initial Cauchy surface, basis of modes and on the choice of initial state build with the use of the corresponding creation and annihilation operators. We show which choice of modes in the future Rindler wedge respects Poincare symmetry. But we do not restrict our attention only to these modes and the corresponding state.

The Nature of SS433 and the Ultraluminous X-ray Sources

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The periodic precession (162--day) and nodding (6.3--day) motions of the jets in SS433 are driven in the outer regions of the disc, whereas the jets themselves, being relativistic, are launched near the black hole at the disc centre. Given that the nutation period is comparable to the dynamical timescale in the outer regions of the disc, it seems unlikely that these periods can be communicated efficiently to the disc centre. Here we propose that the massive outflow observed in SS433 is launched at large radii in the disc, about 1/10 of the outer disc edge, and that it is this outflow which responds to the oscillations of the outer disc and determines the direction of the jets. The massive outflow is launched at large radius because the mass transfer rate is hyper-Eddington. This implies not only that the total luminosity of SS433 exceeds $\le$ by a considerable factor, but also that the radiative output is collimated along the outflow. We thus suggest that SS433 is an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) viewed `from the side'. We also suggest that the obscured {\it INTEGRAL} sources may be SS433--like objects, but with slightly lower mass transfer rates.

description: We study particle production and unitarity violation caused by a curved target space right after inflation. We use the inflaton field value instead of cosmic time as the time variable, and derive a semiclassical formula for the spectrum of produced particles. We then derive a simple condition for unitarity violation during preheating, which we confirm by our semiclassical method and numerical solution. This condition depends not only on the target space curvature but also on the height of the inflaton potential at the end of inflation. This condition tells us, for instance, that unitarity is violated in running kinetic inflation and Higgs inflation, while unitarity is conserved in $α$-attractor inflation and Higgs-Palatini inflation.

description: Let $X$ be a smooth compact connected manifold. Let $G=\mbox{Diff}\, X$ be the group of diffeomorphisms of $X$, equipped with the $C^\infty$-topology, and let $H$ be the stabilizer of some point in $X$. Then the inclusion $H\to G$, which is a morphism of two regular Fréchet--Lie groups, is an epimorphism in the category of smooth Lie groups modelled on complete locally convex spaces. At the same time, in the latter category, epimorphisms between finite dimensional Lie groups have dense range. We also prove that if $G$ is a Banach--Lie group and $H$ is a proper closed subgroup, the inclusion $H\to G$ is not an epimorphism in the category of Hausdorff groups.

description: The present dissertation reports the attempts made towards the synthesis of the terpene moiety of Chabrolonapthoquinone B, a natural product isolated from the sponges of the species Nepthea chabrolii which exhibits significant cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines. In the introduction of this dissertation, the structural characteristics of terpenes and terpenoids are analysed, while greater emphasis is placed on the meroterpenoid metabolites that are isolated from the genus Nepthea, such as Chabrolonapthoquinone B for which an extensive analysis takes place, that exhibit biological activity. Using D-arabinose as starting material, a total synthesis of the terpene moiety is attempted. In the main part of the dissertation, all the synthetic studies that were attempted are analysed in details as well as all the obstacles that occurred and how they were overcome. In the final part, all the experimental procedures are described and all the spectroscopic data of the compounds that were obtained are listed, as well as all the conclusions that were resulted.

description: We study the close circumstellar environment of the nearby S-type star Pi^1 Gruis using high spatial-resolution, mid-infrared observations from the ESO/VLTI. Spectra and visibilities were obtained with the MIDI interferometer on the VLT Auxiliary Telescopes. The cool M5III giant Beta Gruis was used as bright primary calibrator, and a dedicated spectro-interferometric study was undertaken to determine its angular diameter accurately. The MIDI measurements were fitted with the 1D numerical radiative transfer code DUSTY to determine the dust shell parameters of Pi^1 Gruis. Taking into account the low spatial extension of the model in the 8-9 $μ$m spectral band for the smallest projected baselines, we consider the possibility of a supplementary molecular shell. The MIDI visibility and phase data are mostly dominated by the spherical 21 mas (694 Rsol) central star, while the extended dusty environment is over-resolved even with the shortest baselines. No obvious departure from spherical symmetry is found on the milliarcsecond scale. The spectro-interferometric observations are well-fitted by an optically thin (tau(dust)<0.01 in the band) dust shell that is located at about 14 stellar radii with a typical temperature of 700 K and composed of 70% silicate and 30% of amorphous alumina grains. An optically thin (tau(mol)<0.1 in the N band) H2O+SiO molecular shell extending from the photosphere of the star up to 4.4 stellar radii with a typical temperature of 1000 K is added to the model to improve the fit in the 8-9 $μ$m spectral band. We discuss the probable binary origin of asymmetries as revealed by millimetric observations.

description: We show that in driven systems the Gaussian nature of the fluctuating force and time-reversibility are equivalent properties. This result together with the potential condition of the external force drastically restricts the form of the probability distribution function, which can be shown to satisfy time-independent relations. We have corroborated this feature by explicitly analyzing a model for the stretching of a polymer and a model for a suspension of non-interacting Brownian particles in steady flow.

description: People are better at recognizing emotional expressions displayed by members of their own cultural (in-)group, as compared to expressions produced by people from another culture. This effect has been termed "the in-group advantage” in the literature (Elfenbein & Ambady, 2002). One potential explanation for this effect is that people differ in how they visually process facial expressions displayed by in-group compared to out-group faces.

The goal of the current study is to test the prediction that Dutch perceivers differ in their visual processing strategies when viewing emotional expressions displayed by Dutch individuals (i.e., in-group faces) compared to facial expressions displayed by Chinese individuals (i.e. out-group faces).

description: Neural ordinary differential equations (Neural ODEs) are a new family of deep-learning models with continuous depth. However, the numerical estimation of the gradient in the continuous case is not well solved: existing implementations of the adjoint method suffer from inaccuracy in reverse-time trajectory, while the naive method and the adaptive checkpoint adjoint method (ACA) have a memory cost that grows with integration time. In this project, based on the asynchronous leapfrog (ALF) solver, we propose the Memory-efficient ALF Integrator (MALI), which has a constant memory cost \textit{w.r.t} number of solver steps in integration similar to the adjoint method, and guarantees accuracy in reverse-time trajectory (hence accuracy in gradient estimation). We validate MALI in various tasks: on image recognition tasks, to our knowledge, MALI is the first to enable feasible training of a Neural ODE on ImageNet and outperform a well-tuned ResNet, while existing methods fail due to either heavy memory burden or inaccuracy; for time series modeling, MALI significantly outperforms the adjoint method; and for continuous generative models, MALI achieves new state-of-the-art performance.

description: Policymakers widely view education as a key element of the policy response to economic inequality. Indeed, an enormous literature studies the impact of educational reforms on schooling decisions, earnings, and other labor market outcomes. Compulsory schooling laws, in particular, have been studied in multiple contexts. If economic inequality is a central motivating concern, then it is particularly important to understand how such policies affect the outcomes of individuals with different ability levels or disparate socioeconomic backgrounds.

We study the heterogeneous impacts of an educational reform implemented in Sweden over the period 1949-1962. One of the chief provisions of this reform was an increase in compulsory schooling from seven to nine years. However, the reform also involved a nationalized curriculum, and a delay in the sorting of students into academic and vocational tracks. The reform was rolled-out gradually throughout municipalities in Sweden. As a result, pupils belonging to the same age cohorts but living in different municipalities, and pupils living in the same municipality but from adjacent age cohorts, were assigned to different school systems. The gradual roll-out of the reform provides a natural experiment that permits estimation of the effects of the reform that are not confounded by age, cohort, or macro effects.

We study the heterogeneous impact of the Swedish schooling reform on a range of outcomes, including educational attainment, cognitive performance (available only for men), adult earnings and wealth, smoking, body mass index, and various measures of health. For each outcome, we ask whether the impact of the schooling reform in Sweden varied as a function of the individuals’ genetic endowments and sex. As measures of individuals’ genetic endowments, we use polygenic indices (PGI) of various traits. The PGI of a trait is a variable that partially predict the trait based on individuals’ genetic data.

description: Similar sublattices of the root lattice $A_4$ are possible, according to a result of Conway, Rains and Sloane, for each index that is the square of a non-zero integer of the form $m^2 + mn - n^2$. Here, we add a constructive approach, based on the arithmetic of the quaternion algebra $\mathbb{H} (\mathbb{Q} (\sqrt{5}))$ and the existence of a particular involution of the second kind, which also provides the actual sublattices and the number of different solutions for a given index. The corresponding Dirichlet series generating function is closely related to the zeta function of the icosian ring.

Transformer modelling for transient studies
Creators: name: Neves, Washington L. A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Transformer modelling is a concern for the utility industry. The object of this work is to develop and investigate dynamic core models suitable for transient studies. A major advantage of the core models developed here is that they use readily available transformer test data as supplied by the manufacturer. For ferroresonance and inrush current studies, core saturation needs to be represented reasonably well. A direct approach to producing nonlinear peak flux-current and voltage-current characteristic of the iron core, taking iron losses into account, is presented. The algorithm is simple in concept, easy to implement, and may be useful for electromagnetic transient programs. A crude estimation of the transformer open circuit capacitance is also made from rated frequency data. It is useful for situations in which the transformer exciting current experiences strong capacitive effects. An iterative algorithm for more correctly representing the flux-linkage curve of a delta-connected transformer, suitable for situations in which the tests are performed with a closed delta, is developed. It uses positive sequence excitation test data as input and takes into consideration the removal of triplen harmonics from the line current. An approach to model frequency-dependent effects in the transformer core from transformer no-load loss data, is presented. Hysteresis and eddy current effects in the core are treated simultaneously. The flux-current trajectories are generated by circuit models with no need to pre-define them. Simulations using the developed models are compared to laboratory measurement of inrush current and to a ferroresonance field test.

description: Recently, interesting non-monotonic time evolution has been pointed out in the experiments by Jönsson, {\it et al.} and Jonsson {\it et.al.} and also in the numerical simulation by Takayama and Hukushima where the magnetic susceptibility does not monotonically relax to the equilibrium value, but moves to the opposite side. We study mechanism of this puzzling non-monotonic dynamical property in a frustrated Ising model in which the equilibrium correlation exhibits non-monotonic temperature dependence (reentrant type). We study the time evolution of spin correlation function after sudden change of temperature. There, we find that the value of the correlation function shows non-monotonic relaxation, and analyze mechanisms of the non-monotonicity. We also point out that competition between different configurations widely causes non-monotonic relaxation.

description: The aim of the present thesis is the translation of the article's “La propulsion diesel électrique des méthaniers Gaz de France” segment, by M. Roger Courtay, project engineer in the shipyard Chantiers de l' Atlantique. The original text which is written in French, is translated into Greek with the title “Η ντιζελοηλεκτρική πρόωση των υγραεριοφόρων της εταιρείας Gaz de France”. This thesis aims for the correct translation of the segment in order to be logically fluent and understood in Greek. It starts off with the introduction, the translation and then follows the glossary, the documentation, which consists of each term's definition in both languages, the annotation of all the problems that occurred during the translating process and finally the bibliography and the appendix. The original article deals with the use of natural gas as the primary fuel in gas carriers. It offers specific information on the use of diesel, steam and electricity while comparing them with a more modern solution, natural gas. There is a detailed description of how an engine runs on diesel, natural gas, steam, electricity, as well as combined solutions, and a presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of each choice

Subjects: Forensic testing, swab devices, absorption capacity, extraction efficiency, DNA analysis, buccal sample, sample collection

description: Objective: DNA analysis is an important tool for crime conviction or human exoneration. Swab devices are used to collect body fluids, including buccal samples, for forensic testing and analysis. They are made of different materials and are differently shaped, which may impact on the quality of the DNA that can be recovered from the body fluids absorbed by the swabs. In this study, commercially available swabs used for COVID-19 testing in Nigeria were used to collect buccal samples and analyzed using Nanodrop spectrophotometry to determine the quality, quantity and purity of extracted DNA.

Method: The buccal cavity of an individual was examined for any open wounds or incisions with gloves on after which the internal cheek was swabbed for 60 seconds on each side using the swab tool. The swabbing process was carried out thrice and the samples were processed.

Results: The analysis for each swab type was carried out thrice. Swabs with optimal sampling efficacy also demonstrated superior efficiency in the extraction process. The oral swab performed best with an efficiency of 82%.  The cotton swab performed second best with an efficiency of 67%. Statistical analysis (ANOVA) indicated a significant difference between at least two swab devices, since the p-value was less than the significance value of 0.05.

Conclusions: Based on the results of swabs tested, nylon-flocked swabs and cotton swabs are better recommended for sampling and collection of body fluids for forensic applications, with the oral swab being an appropriate choice, and the cotton swab as a suitable alternative.

description: We derive a master equation describing the collective decay of two-level atoms inside a single mode cavity in the dispersive limit. By considering atomic decay in the collective thermostat, we found a decoherence-free subspace of the multiparticle entangled states of the W-like class. We present a scheme for writing and storing these states in collective thermostat.

description: An n-truncated model structure on simplicial (pre-)sheaves is described having as weak equivalences maps that induce isomorphisms on certain homotopy sheaves only up to degree n. Starting from one of Jardine's intermediate model structures we construct such an n-type model structure via Bousfield-Friedlander localization and exhibit useful generating sets of trivial cofibrations. Injectively fibrant objects in these categories are called n-hyperstacks. The whole setup can consequently be viewed as a description of the homotopy theory of higher hyperstacks. More importantly, we construct analogous n-truncations on simplicial groupoids and prove a Quillen equivalence between these settings. We achieve a classification of n-types of simplicial presheaves in terms of (n-1)-types of presheaves of simplicial groupoids. Our classification holds for general n. Therefore this can also be viewed as the homotopy theory of (pre-)sheaves of (weak) higher groupoids.

Identity and Politics: Causal Evidence from a Natural Experimental in Thailand
Creators: name: Barceló, Joan
name: Taishi Muraoka
Publisher: name: OSF Registries
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: In this project, we examine the causal relationship between identity and preferences using some unique features of color identities in Thailand. First, colors are a big part of Thailand’s culture, and Thai people generally identify with a (lucky) color. Each day of the week is associated with a specific color – e.g., Sunday-born people are red, Monday-born people are yellow. Our identification hinges on the exogenous assignment of Thai citizens to color identities at birth, which plausibly gives exogenous variation in which color people identify themselves with. Furthermore, we use the fact that colors are a visible feature of Thai politics. Political parties and social movements set their theme colors, and electoral candidates often campaign on specific colors.

Exploiting this unique natural experiment, we examine to what extent people’s color identity impact their political choices, including vote choice, party identification, and protest participation. We use people’s birthdays as an instrument of their color identity and estimate the latter’s causal effects on political behavior. Theoretically, this study serves as a clean test of identities on political preferences in a real-world political setting.

description: We present a study of the X-ray properties of the nearby face-on Scd spiral galaxy M101 based on recent XMM-Newton observations. In this third and final paper in the present series, we focus on the spatial and spectral properties of the residual emission, after excluding bright X-ray sources with L(X) > 10^37 erg/s. Within a central region of radius 10 arcmins (21 kpc), the X-ray emission broadly traces the pattern of the spiral arms, establishing a strong link with recent star formation, but it also exhibits a radial scale length of \~2.6 arcmins (5.4 kpc) consistent with optical data. We estimate the soft X-ray luminosity within the central 5 arcmins (10.5 kpc) region to be L(X) ~2.1 x 10^39 erg/s (0.5-2 keV), the bulk of which appears to originate as diffuse emission. We find a two-temperature thermal model best fits the spectral data with derived temperatures of 0.20 +/- 0.01 keV and 0.68^(+0.06)_(-0.04) keV which are very typical of the diffuse components seen in other normal and starburst galaxies. More detailed investigation of the X-ray morphology reveals a strong correlation with images recorded in the far-UV through to V band, with the best match being with the U band. We interpret these results in terms of a clumpy thin-disk component which traces the spiral arms of M101 plus an extended lower-halo component with large filling factor.

Application of multi-model adaptive control to pulping processes
Creators: name: Mohsenian, Navid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis, the theory of Multi-Model Adaptive Control is applied to pulping processes, particularly for wood species compensation and identification, and dead-time compensation. Wood species identification is performed on a kraft pulping process whose kinetics are described by the Hatton’ s equations where the ratios of the different wood species in the incoming feed stream are identified on-line by a recursive least-squares based estimation algorithm. Upon wood species identification, a multi-model adaptive controller takes action to compensate for the variability in the wood chips supply content and to control the kappa number. Dead-time compensation is applied to a chlorination tower in a bleaching process with chlorine and chlorine dioxide. The corresponding mass balance equations are developed. The process is simulated, sampled, and identified in open-loop. A multi-model adaptive controller is utilized in closed-loop to compensate for the variations in the pulp quality and transport time delay and to control the bleaching kappa number. The controller’s performance is compared against an adaptive controller which is coupled with a recursive least-squares based algorithm and the Fixed Model Variable Regression Estimation algorithm to compensate for the same variations.

description: Excerpts from the report: In 1960, the United States production of truck crops for fresh market and processing occupied nearly 3.5 million acres of cropland. These crops used less than 1 percent of the total cropland. The farm value of truck crops harvested for sale was almost $1.1 billion, or an average of $310 per acre harvested. Although the total acreage of truck crops is small, it is highly concentrated in areas with conditions favorable for production of these crops. The major areas are in California, Florida, Texas, the Eastern Seaboard from Georgia to Long Island, N. Y., the States bordering the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Northwest. To gain further knowledge of some of the inputs involved in production of vegetables, information regarding the 1958-59 crop was obtained from 2,496 vegetable growers in 12 areas. The areas included in the survey were selected on the basis of importance of seasonal and overall production, diversity of crops grown -- both for fresh market and for processing -- and number and proportion of farmers harvesting truck crops for sale. This report presents information on labor requirements, production practices, and costs involved in the production of truck crops in Accomack and Northampton Counties, Va.

description: Arrays of quantum dot micropillar lasers are an attractive technology platform for various applications in the wider field of nanophotonics. Of particular interest is the potential efficiency enhancement as consequence of cavity quantum electrodynamics effects which makes them prime candidates for next generation photonic neurons in neural network hardware. However, in particular for optical pumping their power-conversion efficiency can be very low. Here we perform an in-depth experimental analysis of quantum dot microlasers and investigate their input-output relationship over a wide range of optical pumping conditions. We find that the current energy efficiency limitation is caused by disadvantageous optical pumping concepts and by a low exciton conversion efficiency. Our results indicate that for non-resonant pumping into the GaAs matrix (wetting layer), 3.4% (0.6%) of the optical pump is converted into lasing-relevant excitons, and of those only 2% (0.75%) provide gain to the lasing transition. Based on our findings we propose to improve the pumping efficiency by orders of magnitude by increasing the aluminium content of the AlGaAs/GaAs mirror pairs in the upper Bragg reflector.
