description: Passivity-based control (PBC) for port-Hamiltonian systems provides an intuitive way of achieving stabilization by rendering a system passive with respect to a desired storage function. However, in most instances the control law is obtained without any performance considerations and it has to be calculated by solving a complex partial differential equation (PDE). In order to address these issues we introduce a reinforcement learning approach into the energy-balancing passivity-based control (EB-PBC) method, which is a form of PBC in which the closed-loop energy is equal to the difference between the stored and supplied energies. We propose a technique to parameterize EB-PBC that preserves the systems's PDE matching conditions, does not require the specification of a global desired Hamiltonian, includes performance criteria, and is robust to extra non-linearities such as control input saturation. The parameters of the control law are found using actor-critic reinforcement learning, enabling learning near-optimal control policies satisfying a desired closed-loop energy landscape. The advantages are that near-optimal controllers can be generated using standard energy shaping techniques and that the solutions learned can be interpreted in terms of energy shaping and damping injection, which makes it possible to numerically assess stability using passivity theory. From the reinforcement learning perspective, our proposal allows for the class of port-Hamiltonian systems to be incorporated in the actor-critic framework, speeding up the learning thanks to the resulting parameterization of the policy. The method has been successfully applied to the pendulum swing-up problem in simulations and real-life experiments.

On three dimensions as the preferred dimensionality of space via the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism

description: In previous work it was shown that, in accord with the Brandenberger-Vafa mechanism, three is the maximum number of spatial dimensions that can grow large cosmologically from an initial thermal fluctuation. Here we complement that work by considering the possibility of successive fluctuations. Suppose an initial fluctuation causes at least one dimension to grow, and suppose successive fluctuations occur on timescales of order alpha'^{1/2}. If the string coupling is sufficiently large, we show that such fluctuations are likely to push a three-dimensional subspace to large volume where winding modes annihilate. In this setting three is the preferred number of large dimensions. Although encouraging, a more careful study of the dynamics and statistics of fluctuations is needed to assess the likelihood of our assumptions.

This geometry is dual to 1+3 dimensional hydrodynamics with a conserved current in a weakly curved background. The causal structure of the bulk geometry is determined and it is shown that the black brane singularity is shielded by an event horizon.

description: We analyze the dynamic optomechanical back-action in signal-recycled Michelson and Michelson-Sagnac interferometers that are operated off dark port. We show that in this case --- and in contrast to the well-studied canonical form of dynamic back-action on dark port --- optical damping in a Michelson-Sagnac interferometer acquires a non-zero value on cavity resonance, and additional stability/instability regions on either side of the resonance, revealing new regimes of cooling/heating of micromechanical oscillators. In a free-mass Michelson interferometer for a certain region of parameters we predict a stable single-carrier optical spring (positive spring and positive damping), which can be utilized for the reduction of quantum noise in future-generation gravitational-wave detectors.

description: A gas of noninteracting particles diffuses in a lattice of pulsating scatterers. In the finite horizon case with bounded distance between collisions and strongly chaotic dynamics, the velocity growth (Fermi acceleration) is well described by a master equation, leading to an asymptotic universal non-Maxwellian velocity distribution scaling as v ~ t. The infinite horizon case has intermittent dynamics which enhances the acceleration, leading to v ~ t ln t and a non-universal distribution.

description: We investigate the lamellar growth of pearlite at the expense of austenite during the eutectoid transformation in steel. To begin with, we extend the Jackson-Hunt-type calculation (previously used to analyze eutectic transformation) to eutectoid transformation by accounting for diffusion in all the phases. Our principal finding is that the growth rates in presence of diffusion in all the phases is different as compared to the case when diffusion in growing phases is absent. The difference in the dynamics is described by a factor 'ρ' which comprises of the ratio of the diffusivities of the bulk and the growing phases, along with the ratios of the slopes of the phase co-existence lines. Thereafter, we perform phase-field simulations, the results of which are in agreement with analytical predictions. The phase-field simulations also reveal that diffusion in austenite as well as ferrite leads to the formation of tapered cementite along with an overall increase in the transformation kinetics as compared to diffusion in austenite (only). Finally, it is worth noting that the aim of present work is not to consider the pearlitic transformation in totality, rather it is to isolate and thereby investigate the influence of diffusivity in the growing phases on the front velocity.

description: Durch die steigende Automatisierung von Fahrerassistenzsystemen wird die Fahraufgabe zunehmend vom Fahrer auf das Fahrzeug übertragen. Das szenariobasierte Testen ist dabei ein vielversprechender Ansatz, mit dem die Sicherheit von Fahrerassistenzsystemen nachgewiesen werden kann. Bei der Verwendung des Ansatzes zur entwicklungsbegleitenden Bestimmung des Reifegrads eines Fahrerassistenzsystems ergibt sich allerdings eine Anzahl an Herausforderungen, die in der vorliegenden Dissertation herausgearbeitet werden. Im Anschluss wird der Stand der Wissenschaft und Technik dargestellt, der für die Adressierung der Herausforderungen notwendig ist. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Testen von Fahrerassistenzsystemen während des Entwicklungsprozesses. In der Diskussion des Stands der Technik und Wissenschaft wird anschließend gezeigt, dass die aktuell vorhandenen Testmethoden in der Automobilindustrie nicht ausreichend sind um Fahrerassistenzsysteme in einem szenariobasierten Testkonzept entwicklungsbegleitend zu testen. Als eine zentrale Herausforderung wird herausgearbeitet, dass Szenarien durch die Variation verschiedener Parameter erzeugt werden, wodurch sowohl der zeitliche Ablauf des erzeugten Szenarios im Vorfeld unbekannt ist als auch neue Szenarien entstehen können. Darauf aufbauend wird in dieser Dissertation ein Testkonzept entwickelt, mit dem Fahrerassistenzsysteme in Fahrszenarien bewertet werden können. Das Konzept ermöglicht es zu überprüfen, ob Systemanforderungen durch ein entwickeltes Fahrerassistenzsystem in unterschiedlichen Fahrszenarien erfüllt werden. Zusätzlich beinhaltet das Testkonzept eine Analyse der durchgeführten Fahrszenarien und deren Inhalt. Aus diesen Ergebnissen wird dann ein szenariospezifischer Reifegrad des Fahrerassistenzsystems bestimmt. Anschließend erfolgt eine prototypische Umsetzung in einer Software-in-the-Loop und Hardware-in-the-Loop Testumgebung. In der Software-in-the-Loop Testumgebung wird beispielsweise ein automatisiertes Notbremssystem in unterschiedlichen Fahrszenarien getestet. Die Evaluation der prototypischen Umsetzung zeigt, dass das entwickelte Testkonzept grundsätzlich funktioniert und eine systemspezifische Bewertung von Fahrerassistenzsystemen in Fahrszenarien ermöglicht. Im Vergleich mit dem aktuellem Stand der Technik und Wissenschaft, können mit dem erarbeiteten Konzept darüber hinaus auch die Kosten für die Testerstellung und Testdurchführung reduziert werden.

description: Recent international surveys present that educational games can be used to promote critical thinking and enhance problem solving skills even in the early school ages. On the other hand, it is a common belief that due to the rapidly changing technology, education should be adapted in order to follow the changes and the new needs of students. To this end, any tool supporting the creation of educational learning experiences, through the use of modern devices and technologies, is considered invaluable both for educators and young learners. In this thesis we discuss the design and implementation of a platform for the development and management of learning experiences in location-based games. More specifically, we present an authoring tool (desktop application) supporting the creation and management of mobile location-based games, as well as scenario editing, user interface customization and organization of gaming activities. Furthermore, we present the player application (mobile application) that we have developed, supporting the play of games which have been created using the authoring tool. The player application is compatible with most state-of-the-art mobile devices and platforms, while both tools have been designed with flexibility and extensibility in mind. To this end, they can be used in various domains including education, museum exploration, city sightseeing, as well as in everyday gaming activities for having fun. Our applications are compatible with well known modern educational tools and repositories through the direct use of the Tin Can API. Finally, is worth mentioning that they have been evaluated for their usability by professionals and naive users.

description: Exploring the accelerated expansion of the universe, we investigate the generalized ghost dark energy (GGDE) model from the statefinder diagnosis analysis in a flat FRW universe. First we calculate the cosmological evolution and statefinder trajectories for non-interacting case and then extend this work by considering the interaction between dark matter and dark energy components. We show that in the non-interacting case the phantom line can not be crossed and also he evolutionary trajectories of model in $s-r$ plane can not be discriminated. It has been shown that the present location of model in $s-r$ plane would be close to observational value for negative values of model parameter. In the presence of interaction between dark matter and dark energy, the phantom regime is achieved, the accelerated phase of expansion occurs sooner compare with non-interacting case. The GGDE model is also discussed from the viewpoint of perturbation theory by calculating the adiabatic sound speed of the model. Finally, unlike the non-interacting case, the evolutionary trajectories in $s-r$ plane can be discriminated in the interacting model. Like non-interacting model, in the interacting case the present location of GGDE model is closer to observational value for negative values of model parameter.

description: The ordering transitions of a 2D lattice liquid characterized by a single favoured local structure (FLS) are studied using Monte Carlo simulations. All eight distinct geometries for the FLS are considered and we find a variety of ordering transitions - first order, continuous and multi-step transitions. Using a microcanonical representation of the freezing transition we resolve the dual influence of the local structure on the ordering transition, i.e. via the energy of the crystal and the entropy cost of structure in the liquid.
title: Non-linear synchronization methods on magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings

Publisher: name: Technical University of Crete

description: Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) is thought to represent a basic mechanism of functional integration of neural networks across distant brain regions. Furthermore, several neuroimaging studies have suggested that functional brain connectivity networks exhibit “small-world” characteristics, whereas recent studies based on structural data have proposed a “rich-club” organization of brain networks, whereby nodes of high connection density tend to connect among themselves compared to nodes of lower density. In this study, CFC profiles are analyzed from resting state Magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings obtained from 30 mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients and 50 controls. The non-linear synchronization metric, mutual information (MI) is used to quantify the phase-to-amplitude coupling (PAC) of activity among the recording sensors in six nonoverlapping frequency bands. After forming the CFC-based functional connectivity graphs (FCGs), a tensor representation and tensor subspace analysis is employed to identify an set of features with low dimensions for subject classification as mTBI or control. Keeping FCGs from the optimal set of features, an “attack strategy” to is developed to compare the rich-club and small-world organizations and identify the model that describes best the topology of brain connectivity. Results show that the controls form a dense network of stronger local and global connections, indicating higher functional integration compared to mTBI patients. Furthermore, mTBI patients could be separated from controls with more than 90% classification accuracy. Finally, the results suggest that resting state MEG connectivity networks follow a rich-club organization. These findings indicate that the analysis of brain networks computed from resting-state MEG with PAC and tensorial representation of connectivity profiles may provide a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis of mTBI.

description: We analyze the consequences caused by a deformed dispersion relation, suggested in several quantum gravity models, upon a bosonic gas. Concerning the ground state of the Bogoliubov space of this system, we deduce the corrections in the pressure, the speed of sound, and the corresponding healing length. Indeed, we prove that the corrections in the relevant thermodynamic properties associated with the ground state, defines a non trivial function of the density of particles and the deformation parameters, allowing us to constrain, in principle, the form of the modified energy-momentum dispersion relation.

Είναι εμφανής όμως η ελάχιστη αξιοποίηση αυτής της τεχνολογίας σε εφαρμογές που χαρακτηρίζονται από την χρήση ευαίσθητων δεδομένων πού δεν επιτρέπεται να μεταδίδονται στο διαδίκτυο ή να αποθηκεύονται σε απομακρυσμένες περιοχές του υπολογιστικού νέφους. Μια λύση αυτού του προβλήματος αναφέρθηκε για πρώτη φορά στο EC Cloud report 2010 [1] το οποίο εισάγει μια καινούργια έννοια του «υβριδικού» ή «αντίστροφου» υπολογιστικού νέφους (Hybrid or reverse cloud) που προτείνει ως λύση που εξασφαλίζει την ασφάλεια των δεδομένων, την μεταφορά του λογισμικού στα δεδομένα.

description: Cloud computing offers a development platform with many benefits such as low cost application development and deployment along with minimization of maintenance and upgrades. Despite the technology’s numerous advantages, health care and other application fields related with sensitive and confidential information have been reluctant to seize its offerings. This is because of the requirement for data processing data on remote cloud datacenters and therefore the transferring of sensitive data over the Internet. A solution to this problem is the reverse cloud approach that allows software to be transferred near to the data source and to be instantiated into a new cloud environment in order to eliminate the problems of processing sensitive data remotely. This encompasses the concept of virtual machine migration for cloud federations that are composed by various OpenStack systems. To achieve this we developed an innovative software to data service that allows virtual machines in the form of running instances or images to be migrated between OpenStack environments. Further, the service allows easily reconfiguration (regarding hardware features) along with monitoring and calculating of virtual machine use in the OpenStack federation.

description: We study the entangling power of a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) simultaneously interacting with two separately trapped ions. To highlight this entangling capability, we consider a special regime where the ion-ion coupling does not generate entanglement in the system, and any resulting entanglement will be the result of the NEMS acting as an entangling device. We study the dynamical behavior of the bipartite NEMS-induced ion-ion entanglement as well as the tripartite entanglement of the whole system (ions+NEMS). We found some quite remarkable phenomena in this hybrid system. For instance, the two trapped ions initially uncorrelated and prepared in coherent states can become entangled by interacting with a nanoelectromechanical resonator (also prepared in a coherent state) as soon as the ion-NEMS coupling achieve a certain value, and this can be controlled by external voltage gate on the NEMS device.

description: By the virtues of the Dyson-Schwinger equations, we upgrade the published code \mtt{HELAC} to be capable to calculate the heavy quarkonium helicity amplitudes in the framework of NRQCD factorization, which we dub \mtt{HELAC-Onia}. We rewrote the original \mtt{HELAC} to make the new program be able to calculate helicity amplitudes of multi P-wave quarkonium states production at hadron colliders and electron-positron colliders by including new P-wave off-shell currents. Therefore, besides the high efficiencies in computation of multi-leg processes within the Standard Model, \mtt{HELAC-Onia} is also sufficiently numerical stable in dealing with P-wave quarkonia (e.g. $h_{c,b},χ_{c,b}$) and P-wave color-octet intermediate states. To the best of our knowledge, it is a first general-purpose automatic quarkonium matrix elements generator based on recursion relations on the market.

description: Η ανακάλυψη των αντιβιοτικών αποτέλεσε μια από τις μεγαλύτερες καινοτομίες των τελευταίων αιώνων για την καταπολέμηση ασθενειών σε ανθρώπους και ζώα. Στην πορεία των χρόνων παρατηρήθηκε πως τα βακτήρια στο περιβάλλον άρχισαν να προσαρμόζονται και να εμφανίζουν ανθεκτικότητα στην χρήση των αντιβιοτικών με διάφορους μηχανισμούς.
Στην παρούσα εργασία έγινε προσπάθεια να προσδιοριστεί αν η απολύμανση των υδάτων με τη μέθοδο της οζόνωσης επηρεάζει το προφίλ της ανθεκτικότητας των βακτηρίων. Για τη μελέτη χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στελέχη από τα βακτήρια E. coli, Staphylococcus sp., Enterococcus sp., Pseu-domonas sp., που απομονώθηκαν από διάφορα δείγματα νερού (επιφανειακά & θαλασσινά) και λύματα. Οι δειγματοληψίες πραγματοποιήθηκαν στην ευρύτερη περιοχή των Χανίων, στην Κρήτη. Τα αντιβιοτικά που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν είναι τα εξής: Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Amikacin, Ciprof-loxacin, Imipenem, Erythromycine, Tertacycline, Trimethoprim, ανάλογα την κάθε περίπτωση βακτηρίου, και η μέθοδος που εφαρμόστηκε είναι Ελάχιστη Ανασταλτική Συγκέντρωση (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration - MIC) στο εργαστήριο Περιβαλλοντικής Μικροβιολογίας του Πολυτεχνείου Κρήτης.
Για την οζόνωση χρησιμοποιήθηκε γεννήτρια Aqua-Flo CD1B, και πραγματοποιήθηκαν πειράματα στο εργαστήριο Τεχνολογίας και Διαχείρισης Περιβάλλοντος, που πολύ ευγενικά μας παραχωρήθηκε για την εκτέλεση των πειραμάτων.
Μέσα από όλη αυτή τη διαδικασία, αυτό που κατέστη σαφές, είναι πως η απολύμανση υδάτων με όζον σίγουρα συμβάλλει στη μεταβολή του προφίλ ανθεκτικότητας των βακτηρίων σε αντιβιοτικά. Το πρόβλημα αυτό πρέπει να ληφθεί υπόψη, και να πραγματοποιηθούν ακόμα περισσότερες μελέτες και πειράματα για τον αναλυτικότερο προσδιορισμό και επίλυση του προβλήματος.
From principal component to direct coupling analysis of coevolution in proteins: Low-eigenvalue modes are needed for structure prediction

description: Various approaches have explored the covariation of residues in multiple-sequence alignments of homologous proteins to extract functional and structural information. Among those are principal component analysis (PCA), which identifies the most correlated groups of residues, and direct coupling analysis (DCA), a global inference method based on the maximum entropy principle, which aims at predicting residue-residue contacts. In this paper, inspired by the statistical physics of disordered systems, we introduce the Hopfield-Potts model to naturally interpolate between these two approaches. The Hopfield-Potts model allows us to identify relevant 'patterns' of residues from the knowledge of the eigenmodes and eigenvalues of the residue-residue correlation matrix. We show how the computation of such statistical patterns makes it possible to accurately predict residue-residue contacts with a much smaller number of parameters than DCA. This dimensional reduction allows us to avoid overfitting and to extract contact information from multiple-sequence alignments of reduced size. In addition, we show that low-eigenvalue correlation modes, discarded by PCA, are important to recover structural information: the corresponding patterns are highly localized, that is, they are concentrated in few sites, which we find to be in close contact in the three-dimensional protein fold.

 Comparative remarks. Ito (2002) described C. kasaharai as a taxomomically rather isolated species from Hubei somewhat similar to C. schaubergeri Jedlička from Sichuan. Kataev et al. (2012) treated C. kasaharai together with C. shunichii Ito and C. fugongensis Kataev et Kavanaugh, both the latter from Yunnan, as belonging to the kasaharai species group. Members of this group are morphologically very similar to species of the irvinei group, but are distinguished from them in having not fused elytra, presence of a parascutellar setigerous pore, and presence of a basal parascutellar striole (the latter is rudimentary present in some specimens of the irvinei group). Conceivably the kasaharai species group should also include C. schaubergeri. This species is distinguished by the presence of additional lateral setigerous pores of pronotum. Chydaeus kasaharai is readily distinguished from C. shunichii and C. fugongensis by having tarsi pubescent dorsally and head and elytra distinctly punctate.
 Distribution. Described from the series collected in Dashennongjia Mountain, western Hubei, China (Ito 2002). Additional material suggests that this brachypterous species seems to be endemic to the eastern part of Daba Shan Mountain Range.

description: Context. The main element of the observing program of the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma orbital observatory is a four-year all-sky survey, in the course of which the entire sky will be scanned eight times. Aims. We analyze the statistical properties of AGN and QSOs that are expected to be detected in the course of the eROSITA all-sky survey (eRASS). Methods. According to the currently planned survey strategy and based on the parameters of the Galactic and extragalactic X-ray background as well as on the results of the recent calculations of the eROSITA instrumental background, we computed a sensitivity map of the eRASS. Using the best available redshift-dependent AGN X-ray luminosity function (XLF), we computed various characteristics of the eRASS AGN sample, such as their luminosity- and redshift distributions, and the brightness distributions of their optical counterparts. Results. After four years of the survey, a sky-average sensitivity of ~1x10^(-14) erg/s/cm^2 will be achieved in the 0.5-2.0keV band. With this sensitivity, eROSITA is expected to detect ~3 million AGN on the extragalactic sky (|b|>10deg). The median redshift of the eRASS AGN will be z~1 with ~40% of the objects in the z=1-2 redshift range. About 10^4 - 10^5 AGN are predicted beyond redshift z=3 and about 2 000 - 30 000 AGN beyond redshift z=4, the exact numbers depend on the poorly known behavior of the AGN XLF in the high-redshift and luminosity regimes. Of the detected AGN, the brightest 10% will be detected with more than ~38 counts per PSF HEW, while the faintest 10% will have fewer than ~9 counts. The optical counterparts of ~95% of the AGN will be brighter than I_(AB)=22.5mag. The planned scanning strategy will allow one to search for transient events on a timescale of half a year and a few hours with a 0.5-2.0keV sensitivity of ~2x10^(-14) to ~2x10^(-13) erg/s/cm^2, respectively.

description: Recent studies of the dynamically assisted Schwinger effect have shown that particle production is significantly enhanced by a proper choice of the electric field. We demonstrate that optimal control theory provides a systematic means of modifying the pulse shape in order to maximize the particle yield. We employ the quantum kinetic framework and derive the relevant optimal control equations. By means of simple examples we discuss several important issues of the optimization procedure such as constraints, initial conditions or scaling. By relating our findings to established results we demonstrate that the particle yield is systematically maximized by this procedure.
