description: We follow up on the study of correlations between GDP's of rich countries. We analyze web-downloaded data on GDP that we use as individual wealth signatures of the country economical state. We calculate the yearly fluctuations of the GDP. We look for forward and backward correlations between such fluctuations. The system is represented by an evolving network, nodes being the GDP fluctuations (or countries) at different times. In order to extract structures from the network, we focus on filtering the time delayed correlations by removing the least correlated links. This percolation idea-based method reveals the emergence of connections, that are visualized by a branching representation. Note that the network is made of weighted and directed links when taking into account a delay time. Such a measure of collective habits does not fit the usual expectations defined by politicians or economists.

description: Topic modeling is an unsupervised method for revealing the hidden semantic structure of a corpus. It has been increasingly widely adopted as a tool in the social sciences, including political science, digital humanities and sociological research in general. One desirable property of topic models is to allow users to find topics describing a specific aspect of the corpus. A possible solution is to incorporate domain-specific knowledge into topic modeling, but this requires a specification from domain experts. We propose a novel query-driven topic model that allows users to specify a simple query in words or phrases and return query-related topics, thus avoiding tedious work from domain experts. Our proposed approach is particularly attractive when the user-specified query has a low occurrence in a text corpus, making it difficult for traditional topic models built on word cooccurrence patterns to identify relevant topics. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our model in comparison with both classical topic models and neural topic models.

On the formation and migration of giant planets in circumbinary discs

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present the results of hydrodynamic simulations of the formation and subsequent orbital evolution of giant planets embedded in a circumbinary disc. We assume that a 20 earth masses core has migrated to the edge of the inner cavity formed by the binary where it remains trapped by corotation torques. This core is then allowed to accrete gas from the disc, and we study its orbital evolution as it grows in mass. For each of the two accretion time scales we considered, we performed three simulations. In two of the three simulations, we stop the accretion onto the planet once its mass becomes characteristic of that of Saturn or Jupiter. In the remaining case, the planet can accrete disc material freely in such a way that its mass becomes higher than Jupiter's. The simulations show different outcomes depending on the final mass m_p of the giant. For m_p=1 M_S (where M_S is Saturn's mass), we find that the planet migrates inward through its interaction with the disc until its eccentricity becomes high enough to induce a torque reversal. The planet then migrates outward, and the system remains stable on long time scales. For m_p > 1 M_J (where M_J is Jupiter's mass) we observed two different outcomes. In each case the planet enters the 4:1 resonance with the binary, and resonant interaction drives up the eccentricity of the planet until it undergoes a close encounter with the secondary star. The result can either be ejection from the system or scattering out into the disc followed by a prolonged period of outward migration. These results suggest that circumbinary planets are more likely to be quite common in the Saturn-mass range. Jupiter-mass circumbinary planets are likely to be less common because of their less stable evolution.

Diffractive Photoproduction of D*+/-(2010) at HERA

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: Diffractive photoproduction of D*+/-(2010) mesons was measured with the ZEUS detector at the ep collider HERA, using an integrated luminosity of 78.6 pb^{-1}. The D* mesons were reconstructed in the kinematic range: transverse momentum p_T(D*) > 1.9 GeV and pseudorapidity |eta(D*)| < 1.6, using the decay D*+ -> D0 pi+_s followed by D0 -> K- pi+ (+c.c.). Diffractive events were identified by a large gap in pseudorapidity between the produced hadronic state and the outgoing proton. Cross sections are reported for photon-proton centre-of-mass energies in the range 130 < W < 300 GeV and for photon virtualities Q^2 < 1 GeV^2, in two ranges of the Pomeron fractional momentum x_pom < 0.035 and x_pom < 0.01. The relative contribution of diffractive events to the inclusive D*+/-(2010) photoproduction cross section is about 6%. The data are in agreement with perturbative QCD calculations based on various parameterisations of diffractive parton distribution functions. The results are consistent with diffractive QCD factorisation.

description: In questo contributo saranno passati in rassegna alcuni enigmi della tradizione letteraria greca che coinvolgono, in varia misura, la sfera della sessualità. Sarà tracciata una distinzione tra indovinelli che chiedono di essere effettivamente risolti e indovinelli che svelano la soluzione contestualmente alla loro enunciazione. In tale contesto, saranno posti in rilievo i punti di contatto tra le esigenze della scena comica e alcuni epigrammi erotici e scoptici che mutuano la forma grifotica senza proporre davvero la soluzione di un enigma, a ulteriore testimonianza della tendenza del genere epigrammatico a incorporare elementi desunti dalla commedia. Il riconoscimento di alcune analogie formali tra gli esempi analizzati indurrà ad accostare alla tradizione del γρῖφοςun testo poco noto, adesp. AP11.272, che della formulazione enigmatica si serve per stigmatizzare i cinedi, in linea con la tendenza, ben documentata in letteratura greco-latina, a definire l’omosessualità attraverso la negazione e la contraddizione logica. Saranno infine espresse alcune considerazioni di ordine generale sul rapporto tra enigma ed epigramma e sui criteri scelti dagli antologizzatori per operare una distinzione tra i due generi. The aim of this paper is to analyse some ancient Greek riddles variously involving the sexual sphere. A distinction between riddles that actually require to be solved and others that reveal their solution while being posed will be drawn. In such a context, attention will be paid to the points of contacts between comedy and some erotic and scoptic epigrams in the form of a riddle, in order to contribute to a better appreciation of the tendency of the epigrammatic genre to incorporate comic elements. The identification of formal analogies among the examples taken into account will also allow to analyse under the light of the riddling tradition an anonymous scoptic epigram, AP11.272, whose targets are passive homosexuals. The paper will be concluded by some observations on the relationship between riddle and epigram, and on the criteria adopted by anthologists in order to distinguish them.

description: The implementation of high fidelity two-qubit gates is a bottleneck in the progress towards universal quantum computation in semiconductor quantum dot qubits. We study capacitive coupling between two triple quantum dot spin qubits encoded in the $S = 1/2$, $S_z = -1/2$ decoherence-free subspace -- the exchange-only (EO) spin qubits. We report exact gate sequences for CPHASE and CNOT gates, and demonstrate theoretically, the existence of multiple two-qubit sweet spots (2QSS) in the parameter space of capacitively coupled EO qubits. Gate operations have the advantage of being all-electrical, but charge noise that couple to electrical parameters of the qubits cause decoherence. Assuming noise with a 1/f spectrum, two-qubit gate fidelities and times are calculated, which provide useful information on the noise threshold necessary for fault-tolerance. We study two-qubit gates at single and multiple parameter 2QSS. In particular, for two existing EO implementations -- the resonant exchange (RX) and the always-on exchange-only (AEON) qubits -- we compare two-qubit gate fidelities and times at positions in parameter space where the 2QSS are simultaneously single-qubit sweet spots (1QSS) for the RX and AEON. These results provide a potential route to the realization of high fidelity quantum computation.

description: A type of super-hydrophobic surface consists of a solid plane boundary with an array of grooves which, due to the effect of surface tension, prevent a complete wetting of the wall. The effect is greatest when the grooves are aligned with the flow. The pressure difference between the liquid and the gas in the grooves causes a curvature of the liquid surface resisted by surface tension. The effects of this surface deformation are studied in this paper. The corrections to the effective slip length produced by the curvature are analyzed theoretically and a comparison with available data and related mathematical models is presented.

Η πρόταση αυτή στηρίζεται σε δύο πυλώνες. Ο ένας αφορά τα κείμενα που προτείνονται ως αντικείμενα μελέτης. Συγκεκριμένα, διερευνώνται τα χαρακτηριστικά του «είδους» της σύγχρονης μικρομυθοπλασίας, η μεγάλη της διάδοση και οι δυνατότητες εκπαιδευτικής της αξιοποίησης. Ο δεύτερος πυλώνας αφορά τη χρήση της δημιουργικής γραφής ως εργαλείου προσέγγισης των λογοτεχνικών κειμένων και ως εργαλείου πρόκλησης μαθητικής γραφής. Κι εδώ ανιχνεύονται τα πλεονεκτήματα του εργαλείου στη διδακτική πράξη και ο ρόλος της δημιουργικής γραφής στα σύγχρονα προγράμματα σπουδών. Ακολουθεί η οργάνωση και η πραγματοποίηση μιας έρευνας δράσης σε ένα περιορισμένο δείγμα μαθητών, με βασικό ερώτημα προς διερεύνηση το κατά πόσο ο συνδυασμός των δύο παραπάνω – μικρομυθοπλασίας και δημιουργικής γραφής - θα μπορούσε να είναι επιτυχής και εποικοδομητικός για το μάθημα της Λογοτεχνίας στο Γυμνάσιο. Συγκεντρώθηκαν ποσοτικά και ποιοτικά δεδομένα για το δείγμα αυτό και εξήχθησαν χρήσιμα συμπεράσματα προς επίρρωση της αρχικής πρότασης
description: The present paper aims to formulate theoretically and then to research a teaching proposal for the subject of literature, and more specifically of prose, at the level of Junior High School (Gymnasium). The proposal is based on two pillars. One concerns the texts proposed as study objects. In particular, the characteristics of the "genre" of modern microfiction, its wide dissemination and the educational potential of its exploitation are explored. The second pillar concerns the use of creative writing as a tool for approaching literary texts and as a tool for eliciting student writing. And here the advantages of the tool in didactic practice and the role of creative writing in modern curricula are to be traced. The above mentioned research assumption is followed by the organization and conduct of an action research on a limited sample of students, with a key question to investigate whether the combination of the two - microfiction and creative writing - could be successful and edifying for the subject of Literature in Junior High School. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected for this sample and useful conclusions were drawn in corroboration of the original proposal
The role and interaction of food labelling systems in promoting healthier and sustainable choices among the UK adult population A study using choice-based conjoint analysis simulations

description: Food labelling systems have garnered significant interest for their role in aiding consumers with clear and understandable details on the nutritional content of foods.However, academic discussions do not agree on the most efficient approach for integrating information on products. This study offers insights into presenting nutritional information on packaging effectively, aiming to assist consumers in making healthier and environmentally conscious decisions. We simulated data for a choice-based conjoint analysis (CA) involving 1500 participants to explore how individuals adapt their selections based on different food labeling systems. Overall, it appears that the majority of respondents have a moderate appreciation for both food labelling systems, implying that they could wield a comparable impact on food selection. Analysis by social groups indicates that some of them might prioritize food choices endorsed by Ecolabels over those supported by Food labels.

description: The scope of this present thesis is to deal with the issue of on-call work both at a national and an international level. After the introduction, and in particular at the first chapter of the thesis, follows a general introduction to the definition of employment and more specifically to the definition of the on-call work as well as a historical overview of the opinions that have been expressed concerning this issue. Consequently, the second chapter of the thesis is referring to the distinctions of on-call work, namely the distinctions to the “genuine” on-call work, the “simple” on- call work and the “readiness for work calls” whereas some law cases of further distinctions are being described. Furthermore, in this particular chapter flexible forms of on call work such as teleworking and digital working are also being mentioned. Lastly, the consequences of the above mentioned distinctions as well as the criticism on these forms of on call work are being presented. Furthermore, at the third chapter of the thesis, the community legislation and jurisprudence concerning the working time and more specifically, the on-call work, are being mentioned whereas examples of the Court of Justice of the European Union judgements are being presented. Finally, the consequences which the judgements of the Court of Justice of the European Union have on the community as well as on the Greek legislation and practice, are being thoroughly described

description: We report an apparent detection of the C VI 4p to 1s transition line at 459 eV, during a long-term enhancement (LTE) in the Suzaku north ecliptic pole (NEP) observation of 2005 September 2. The observed intensity of the line is comparable to that of the C VI 2p to 1s line at 367 eV. This is strong evidence for the charge-exchange process. In addition to the C VI lines, emission lines from O VII, O VIII, Ne X, and Mg XI lines showed clear enhancements. There are also features in the 750 to 900 eV range that could be due to some combination of Fe XVII and XVIII L-lines, higher order transitions of O VIII (3p to 1s and 6p to 1s), and a Ne IX line. From the correlation of the X-ray intensity with solar-wind flux on time scales of about half a day, and from the short-term (~10 minutes) variations of the X-ray intensity, these lines most likely arise from solar-wind heavy ions interacting with neutral material in the Earth's magnetosheath. A hard power-law component is also necessary to explain the LTE spectrum. The origin of this component is not yet known. Our results indicate that solar activity can significantly contaminate Suzaku cosmic X-ray spectra below ~1 keV. Recommendations are provided for recognizing such contamination in observations of extended sources.

description: This paper sets out to re-approach the famous leptêacrostich in Aratus’ Phaenomena (783-87) by confronting it with other early Greek acrostichs and the discourse of technê and sophia,which has been shown to play an important role in a gamut of Greek literary texts, including texts very much relevant for the study of Aratus’ acrostich. In particular, there is a tantalizing connection between the acrostich in Aratus’ poem that poeticized Eudoxus’ astronomical work and the so-called Ars Eudoxi, a (pseudo-)Eudoxian acrostich sphragisfrom a second-century BC papyrus.

description: At the end of July 2006, the blazar PKS 2155-304 (z=0.116) underwent a strong outburst observed at TeV energies by HESS (up to 17 Crab flux level at E > 200 GeV). The Swift satellite followed the evolution of the source for about one month. The data analysis - reported in another paper - has shown that, despite the violent activity at TeV energies, the synchrotron energy distribution increased in normalization, but only with a small shift in frequency. In the present work, we fit the broad-band spectrum with a log-parabolic model, to search for indications of intrinsic curvature, which in turn is usually interpreted as a signature of energy-dependent acceleration mechanisms of electrons.

description: A partire dalla Grecia arcaica gli enigmi e gli indovinelli trovano la loro collocazione ideale nell’istituto del simposio. In epoche più recenti si sviluppano teorie e classificazioni ad opera dei retori. Oggi possediamo un buon numero di indovinelli antichi e anche diverse testimonianze che, malgrado il più delle volte sembrino indirizzarci verso un’idea dell’enigma legata al gioco e alla sfida tra due o più contendenti, restano tuttavia saldamente ancorate alla tradizione artistica e letteraria da cui dipendono. Questo studio è finalizzato a comprendere se e in che misura dalle testimonianze antiche si possano ricavare tracce di veri e propri contesti agonali al di fuori dello spazio letterario dei Greci e dei Romani. Starting from archaic Greece, enigmas and riddles find their ideal place in the symposium. In more recent times ancient theories and classifications were developed by rhetoricians. Today we have a good number of ancient riddles and also numerous testimonies. Although the latter often seem to lead us towards an idea of the enigma linked to the game and the challenge between two or more contenders, they remain firmly anchored in the artistic and literary tradition on which they depend. This study is aimed at understanding whether, and to what extent, from ancient evidence we can derive traces of real agonal contexts outside the literary space of the Greeks and Romans.

L’analisi di uno degli indovinelli, che è presente anche nella novella persiana dalla quale Gozzi ha tratto la trama della sua commedia, permette di stabilire un collegamento tra quell’indovinello particolare e altri indovinelli simili testimoniati nella letteratura greca e nel folklore. The essay deals with the riddles connected with Turandot’ story, as they appear in the Italian version of Carlo Gozzi (1762) and in the German translation of Friedrich Schiller (1802). The analysis of one of the riddles, also present in the Persian tale Gozzi used as the source of his play, allows to establish a relationship between that particular riddle and similar riddles witnessed in Greek literature and in ancient folktales.

A phenomenological exploration of bereaved individuals' experience of counselling
Creators: name: Vaugeois, M. Alma
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This phenomenological study sought to explore the bereaved individuals' experience of therapy. The research question was "How do bereaved individuals experience therapy while going through the grief process?" Four bereaved individuals who experienced the sudden loss of a loved one were recruited from the Lower Mainland. Through in-depth interviews, which were audio-taped, the participants shared their experiences of therapy. Using Giorgi's (1989) phenomenological analysis, the material yielded four major themes and several sub-themes. Under the first major theme, 'the experience of self' the participants reported a lack of wholeness, hopelessness and depletion. With the second major theme, 'the experience of therapeutic process' the participants reported difficulty engaging in the therapeutic process and inner turmoil. Through interaction with the therapist the impasse created by inner turmoil was resolved, and the following themes emerged: sense of safety, development of trust, formation of positive therapeutic relationship, being inspired by therapist, willingness to engage in the therapeutic process, relief and appreciation of the therapist. Under the third major theme, 'experience of self-discovery and self actualization' the participants reported a growing sense of freedom to be genuine and a willingness to risk being themselves. Under the fourth major theme, 'experience of belonging and fulfilment' the participants reported a sense of purpose, preciousness in life and discovery of one's needs. In conclusion, the this study indicates the profound change undergone by participants as a result of therapy. The participants were able to acknowledge the pain of their grief and re-discover their own uniqueness. Through the guidance and acceptance of their therapists, these individuals were able move beyond their grief and re-invest in the world.

description: Το τοπίο της Θεσσαλονίκης σήμερα χαρακτηρίζεται από πληθώρα στοιχείων, διάφορων επιρροών και πηγών έμπνευσης το οποίο δίνει ένα μοναδικό αποτέλεσμα. Για να κατανοήσουμε όμως το σημερινό τοπίο της πόλης πρέπει να ανατρέξουμε στο παρελθόν και στα γεγονότα που διαδραματίστηκαν και σχημάτισαν το τοπίο αυτό ώστε να κατανοήσουμε καλύτερα αυτά που διασώζονται σήμερα και έχουμε την δυνατότητα να επισκεφθούμε. Έτσι θα μπορέσουμε να καταλάβουμε και την αξία των ιστορικών κήπων και την ανάγκη για την προστασία τους. Αντικείμενο αυτής της εργασίας αποτελεί η μελέτη επιλεγμένων υπαίθριων χώρων πρασίνου (ιδιωτικές κατοικίες, αύλειοι χώροι δημόσιων κτηρίων, δημόσιοι χώροι, παραγωγικοί κήποι) που χρήζουν κρατικής προστασίας λόγω της ιστορικότητας τους και βρίσκονται στην περιοχή της Θεσσαλονίκης, αστικό κέντρο με μακραίωνη ιστορία και πληθώρα σημαντικών ιστορικών μνημείων.Θα επιχειρηθεί επισήμανση, καταγραφή και κριτική θεώρηση των επιμέρους στοιχείων που καθιστούν έναν κήπο ιστορικό όπως η μεγάλης ηλικίας βλάστηση, δομικά στοιχεία, κηποτεχνικές διαμορφώσεις, αστικός εξοπλισμός κ.ά. Βάση του ορισμού του “Ιστορικού κήπου” που διατυπώθηκε στην χάρτα της Φλωρεντίας το 1982, θα γίνει αντιστοίχιση των κήπων που θα μελετηθούν με τις κηποτεχνικές τάσεις της εποχής εκείνης και ο τρόπος που επηρέασαν την διαμόρφωση του πολιτισμικού τοπίου της Θεσσαλονίκης
description: The urban landscape of Thessaloniki is comprised of a plethora of elements inspired by a lot of different sources which gives it a very unique and distinctive look. To further understand the modern landscape of this city we have to dive into the past to uncover the factors that played a critical role in the shaping of this landscape throughout the years. This way we will grasp the importance of these remaining historical gardens and the need to protect and display them. The subject of this paper is the study of chosen green spaces (private estates, public gardens, vegetable gardens) in Thessaloniki that show great historical elements. Cataloging and reviewing of those elements that make a garden historical will be attempted such as architectural elements, vegetation, gardening habits and urban equipment of each era based of the definition of the “historical garden” stated in the Florence landscape Convention of 1982

description: Il gioco del mondo, diffuso in Italia e in parecchi altri paesi anche extra-europei con denominazioni diverse, è uno dei giochi infantili che maggiormente ha attratto l’attenzione degli studi etnografici, per i suoi rimandi al rito e al mito, connessi alle specifiche modalità del percorso d’andata e ritorno entro uno schema tracciato a terra. Attraverso considerazioni d’ordine lessicale e storico, s’intende evidenziare e giustificare la natura labirintica del gioco, ad oggi solo sporadicamente ipotizzata. In appendice, una testimonianza della scrittrice Carla Muschio. The Mondo(Italian word for Hopscotch) is one of the most known children’s playground games. In Italy and across the globe, this game is called by several different names, even in the same language and nation. Since it is connected to the rite and the myth, being a sort of initiation path represented into a scheme drawn on the ground, it has been the object of more than one ethnographic research. By analyzing some lexical and historical evidences, this paper aims to stress and motivate the labyrinthic nature of the Mondo game, which has been rarely proposed since now. As an appendix, a testimony by the writer Carla Muschio.

description: Until 6 October 2005 sixteen redshifts have been measured of long gamma-ray bursts discovered by the Swift satellite. Further 45 redshifts have been measured of the long gamma-ray bursts discovered by other satellites. Here we perform five statistical tests comparing the redshift distributions of these two samples assuming - as the null hypothesis - identical distribution for the two samples. Three tests (Student's $t$-test, Mann-Whitney test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test) reject the null hypothesis on the significance levels between 97.19 and 98.55%. Two different comparisons of the medians show extreme $(99.78-99.99994)$% significance levels of rejection. This means that the redshifts of the Swift sample and the redshifts of the non-Swift sample are distributed differently - in the Swift sample the redshifts are on average larger. This statistical result suggests that the long GRBs should on average be at the higher redshifts of the Swift sample.

Carrier-induced Phase Transition in Metal Dichlorides XCl$_{2}$ (X: Fe, Co, and Ni)

description: We investigated the ground state of monolayer 1T-XCl$_{2}$ (X: Fe, Co, and Ni) using the generalized Bloch theorem, which can generate ferromagnetic, spiral, and antiferromagnetic states. Each state was represented by a unique spiral vector that arranges the magnetic moment of magnetic atom in the primitive unit cell. We found the ferromagnetic ground state for the FeCl$_{2}$ and NiCl$_{2}$ while the spiral ground state appears for the CoCl$_{2}$. We also showed that the ground state depends sensitively on the lattice constant. When the hole-electron doping was taken into account, we found the phase transition, which involves the ferromagnetic, spiral, and antiferromagnetic states, for all the systems. Since the spin-spin interaction in the monolayer metal dichlorides is influenced by the competition between the direct exchange and the superexchange, we justify that the carrier concentration determines which interaction should dominate.

description: The canonical quantization in Weyl gauge of gauge fields in static space-times is presented. With an appropriate definition of transverse and longitudinal components of gauge fields, the Gauss law constraint is resolved explicitly for scalar and spinor QED and a complete non-perturbative solution is given for the quantized Maxwell-field coupled to external currents. The formalism is applied in investigations of the electromagnetic field in Rindler spaces. The relation of creation and annihilation operators in Minkowski and Rindler spaces is established and initial value problems associated with bremsstrahlung of a uniformly accelerated charge are studied. The peculiar scaling properties of scalar and gauge theories in Rindler spaces are discussed and various quantities such as the photon condensate or the interaction energy of static charges and of scalar sources are computed.

description: Surface lattice resonance (SLR) is the collective excitation of nanoparticle resonances arising from the hybridization between localized surface plasmons (LSPs) and propagating Rayleigh anomalies (RAs). When comparing with the corresponding LSPs, SLRs exhibit much higher quality factor. In fact, as the quality factor depends on the constituting resonances and their hybridization, how one can parametrize it in an analytic form is an important issue. We have studied the SLRs arising from 2D Au monopartite nanoparticle arrays by angle- and polarization-resolved reflectivity spectroscopy, temporal coupled mode theory (CMT) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation. The scattering matrix of the SLRs is formulated, revealing the importance of the spectral detuning and the interaction strengths between the LSP and the RAs in governing the quality factor. We then extend the CMT approach to study bipartite arrays where nanoparticle dimer is employed and find the coupling between two LSPs plays a major role in further boosting the quality factor. Specifically, the coupling takes part in controlling the detuning factor as well as determining whether the coupled bright or dark mode is hybridized with the RAs. The dark mode hybridization can strongly enhance the quality factor which is otherwise not possible in the monopartite counterparts.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη της επίδρασης των χαρακτηριστικών του κτιριακού κελύφους στις διαφορετικές θέσεις του εσωτερικού χώρου ενός κτιρίου γραφείων. Τα διάφορα χαρακτηριστικά του κελύφους είναι η θέση της θερμομόνωσης, τα εσωτερικά επιχρίσματα, ο τύπος υαλοπίνακα και είδος θερμοστάτη. Εξάγονται τα αποτελέσματα της θερμικής άνεσης, της θερμοκρασίας του τοίχου και του δαπέδου για κάθε τμήμα στο οποίο χωρίστηκε ο χώρος όπως και η ενεργειακή απαίτηση για θέρμανση και ψύξη της θερμικής ζώνης με τη χρήση του προσομοιωτικού λογισμικού EnergyPlus. Στη συνέχεια αναλύονται τα αποτελέσματα σε μορφή διαγραμμάτων και πινάκων και σχολιάζονται οι επιδράσεις των χαρακτηριστικών για τρεις αντιπροσωπευτικές ημέρες κάθε εποχής του χρόνου. Στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο της εργασίας αναλύονται τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης των διαφορετικών σεναρίων από τα οποία προκύπτει πως η θέση μπροστά στο παράθυρο θα έχει πάντα δυσμενέστερη θερμική άνεση από τις υπόλοιπες και οι ανατολικοί τοίχοι, κυρίως αυτός δίπλα στο παράθυρο, είναι οι θερμότεροι από όλους. Επίσης η χρήση θερμοστάτη με λειτουργική θερμοκρασία έχει μεγαλύτερη ενεργειακή απαίτηση. Τέλος για τους υαλοπίνακες βγαίνει το συμπέρασμα πως δεν υπάρχει βέλτιστη επιλογή αλλά η κάθε περίπτωση προσφέρει διαφορετικά αποτελέσματα ως προς τη θερμική άνεση και την ενεργειακή απαίτηση σε θέρμανση και ψύξη
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the effect of the characteristics of the building envelope on the different positions of the interior. The different characteristics of the building envelope that are discussed include, the position of insulation, interior coatings, types of glass and thermostat. By applying the energy requirements for heating and cooling divided by space into EnergyPlus simulator, thermal comfort, wall and floor temperatures for each compartment has been derived. The results are then analyzed in the form of diagrams and tables and comment on the effects of attributes for three representative days of each season. In the last chapter of the thesis, the results of the study of the different scenarios are analyzed which show that the position in front of the window will always have less thermal comfort than the rest. Also the warmest wall was identified to be the eastern next to the window. In addition to position, a thermostat of operating temperature was found to have a higher energy consumption. However, it was concluded that there was no optimal choice for panes, in regards to thermal comfort and energy requirements with respect to heating and cooling

description: Deep X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the bright pulsar wind nebula 3C58 confirms the existence of an embedded thermal X-ray shell surrounding the pulsar PSR J0205+6449. Radially resolved spectra obtained with the XMM-Newton telescope are well-characterized by a power-law model with the addition of a soft thermal emission component in varying proportions. These fits reproduce the well-studied increase in the spectral index with radius attributed to synchrotron burn-off of high energy electrons. Most interestingly, a radially resolved thermal component is shown to map out a shell-like structure ~6' in diameter. The presence of a strong emission line corresponding to the Ne IX He-like transition requires an overabundance of ~3 x [Ne/Ne(sun)] in the Raymond-Smith plasma model. The best-fit temperature kT ~ 0.23 keV is essentially independent of radius for the derived column density of N_H = (4.2 +/- 0.1)E21 per cm squared. Our result suggests that thermal shells can be obscured in the early evolution of a supernova remnant by non-thermal pulsar wind nebulae emission; the luminosity of the 3C58 shell is more than an order of magnitude below the upper limit on a similar shell in the Crab Nebula. We find the shell centroid to be offset from the pulsar location. If this neutron star has a velocity similar to that of the Crab pulsar, we derive an age of 3700 yr and a velocity vector aligned with the long axis of the PWN. The shell parameters and pulsar offset add to the accumulating evidence that 3C58 is not the remnant of the supernova of CE 1181.
