description: Η ραγδαία εξέλιξη της τεχνολογίας έχει επιφέρει σημαντικές αλλαγές σε πολλούς τομείς της καθημερινότητας όχι μόνο σε επαγγελματικό αλλά και σε κοινωνικό επίπεδο. Η γεωργία και η κτηνοτροφία αποτελούν δύο από τους σημαντικότερους και ταχέως αναπτυσσόμενους κλάδους στην Ελλάδα οι οποίοι έχουν τη δυνατότητα , μέσω της τεχνολογίας, να εξελιχθούν ακόμη περισσότερο. Η παρούσα εργασία βασίστηκε στον σχεδιασμό και τον προγραμματισμό μιας συσκευής ανοιχτού κώδικα (Arduino) η οποία τοποθετήθηκε σε πτηνοτροφική μονάδα βιολογικών κοτόπουλων. Συγκεκριμένοι αισθητήρες που συνδέονται απευθείας στη συσκευή δίνουν τη δυνατότητα στον κτηνοτρόφο να ελέγχει το περιβάλλον μιας κτηνοτροφικής κατασκευής γενικά, ειδικότερα όμως της υγρασίας και μέσω της συσκευής να αποθηκεύονται οι τιμές σε μια κάρτα τύπου microSD. Η ρύθμιση της υγρασίας αποτελεί σημαντικό παράγοντα στον τομέα των κτηνοτροφικών κατασκευών καθώς οι υψηλές τιμές της μειώνουν την αποδοτικότητα των ζώων μέσα στη μονάδα και δημιουργούν φθορές στην κτηνοτροφική κατασκευή. Τέλος, τα δεδομένα της συσκευής παρατηρήθηκαν για ένα συγκεκριμένο χρονικό διάστημα και κατόπιν έγινε ανάλυση τους και σύγκρισή τους προκειμένου να διαπιστωθεί η αποτελεσματικότητα της συσκευής αλλά και να πραγματοποιηθεί η σωστή μελέτη της κτηνοτροφικής κατασκευής όσον αφορά τη ρύθμιση της υγρασίας
description: The rapid evolution of technology has brought about significant changes in many areas of everyday life, not only on a professional level but also on a social level as well. Agriculture and livestock farming are two of the most important and rapidly growing sectors in Greece which have the potential, through technology, to evolve even more. This project was based on the design and planning of an open-source device (Arduino) which was placed in an organic laying-hen house. Specific sensors are connected directly to the device enabling the farmer to control the general environment of livestock construction, though in relative humidity. The results saved in a microSD card. The regulation of humidity is an important factor for the livestock construction as high levels of it can reduce the production efficiency of animals within the unit and create damage to the livestock structure itself. Finally, the resulted from the device data were observed for a certain period and were further analyzed and compared in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the device but also to concluded about the proper study of livestock structure in terms of humidity regulation.

description: Perturbation theory alone fails to describe thermodynamics of the electroweak phase transition. We review a technique combining perturbative and non-perturbative methods to overcome this challenge. Accordingly, the principal theme is a tutorial of high-temperature dimensional reduction. We present an explicit derivation with a real singlet scalar and compute the thermal effective potential at two-loop order. In particular, we detail the dimensional reduction for a real-singlet extended Standard Model. The resulting effective theory will impact future non-perturbative studies based on lattice simulations as well as purely perturbative investigations.

description: Using molecular simulation, we assess the impact of an electric field on the properties of water, modeled with the SPC/E potential, over a wide range of states and conditions. Electric fields of the order of $0.1V/$Åand beyond are found to have a significant impact on the grand-canonical partition function of water, resulting in shifts in the chemical potential at the vapor-liquid coexistence of up to $20$%. This, in turn, leads to increases in the critical temperatures by close to $7$% for a field of $0.2V/$Å, to lower vapor pressures, and to much larger entropies of vaporization (by up to $35$%). We interpret these results in terms of the greater density change at the transition and of the increased structural order resulting from the applied field. The thermodynamics of compressed liquids and of supercritical water are also analyzed over a wide range of pressures, leading to the determination of the Zeno line and of the curve of ideal enthalpy that span the supercritical region of the phase diagram. Rescaling the phase diagrams obtained for the different field strength by their respective critical properties allows us to draw a correspondence between these systems for fields of up to $0.2V/$Å.

description: We present high sensitivity 12CO and 13CO (1-0) molecular line maps covering the full extent of the parsec scale Haro~6-10 Herbig-Haro (HH) flow. We report the discovery of a molecular CO outflow along the axis of parsec-scale HH flow. Previous molecular studies missed the identification of the outflow probably due to their smaller mapping area and the confusing spectral features present towards the object. Our detailed molecular line study of the full 1.6 pc extent of the optical flow shows evidence for both blueshifted and redshifted gas set in motion by Haro~6-10 activity. The molecular outflow is centered at Haro~6-10, with redshifted gas being clumpy and directed towards the northeast, while blueshifted gas is in the southwest direction. The molecular gas terminates well within the cloud, short of the most distant HH objects of the optical flow. Contamination from an unrelated cloud along the same line of sight prevents a thorough study of the blueshifted outflow lobe and the mass distribution at the lowest velocities in both lobes. The cloud core in which Haro~6-10 is embedded is filamentary and flattened in the east-west direction. The total cloud mass is calculated from 13CO(1-0) to be ~200Msun. The lower limit of the mass associated with the outflow is ~0.25Msun.

Community based workstyle
Creators: name: Courtney, Lyle George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In Greater Vancouver, like other cities subject to rapid growth, plans have been implemented to relieve many stresses related to land use and transportation. In the 1970s, these included building regional town centres, improving transit sys-tem capacity, and expanding suburban work places, all to reduce negative effects of separating work from residence. A major 1990 household survey indicates these physical infrastructure changes slowed the rate of increase of associated stress-ors. However, critical review of GVRD regional town centre policy sees initial outcomes as 'Edge City' clones, rather than the intended integrated communities. This study examines community based workstyle, denoting preferences for ways of working, within a multi-centred urban region, using systemic concepts and empirical data. The main conclusion is that physical infrastructure intervention alone is insufficient to deal with urban work culture stress. What also must be addressed are changes in work organization and community planning, with due recognition of individual values, motivations and behaviours. This implies a consensual approach, with decision making on a more iterative and participatory basis. Present approaches are traced to Taylorist management and master planning, both traditions derived from closed systems thinking and structure based on detailed central control. Since systems are open, such approaches are incapable of dealing with evident needs for adaptability and flexibility. This study develops an alternative model referred to as community based workstyle, composed of factors affecting individual preferences, organizational needs, and interactions with the community and landscape. Flexible workstyle and community based planning are viable constructs forming a basis for more ecocentric planning options. Evidence of changing community values is based on the Vancouver Urban Futures Projects of 1973 and 1990, complemented by field research targeted on mid-level information workers, and case studies in flexible workstyle. Values are shifting from rigidity to flexibility, from top-down to bottom-up organization, and from segregated to variegated and visible communities. This has implications for organizing work and designing urban regions. The systemic approach is found to be conceptually and methodologically appropriate to broadly based, qualitative research in geography.

We present a theorem excluding the Boltzmann-Gibbs exponential weight in Gibbs $Γ$-space of microscopic configurations, and comment a paper recently published by Baldovin and Orlandini (2006). On the basis of the points here discussed, the ongoing debate on the possible application, within appropriate limits, of the generalized $q$-statistics to long-range Hamiltonian systems remains open.

description: Economic historians have examined economic development in terms of growth for decades. However, only limited research has examined historical economic development from the vantage of sustainable development. Genuine Savings (GS) has emerged as a leading economic indicator of sustainable development. This study reassesses Ireland’s economic development by analysing GS estimates that span the entire history of the Irish Free State from 1922-2017 as well as notional estimates back to 1851, just after Ireland’s “Great Famine”. The findings provide empirical support for the view that Ireland’s economic performance was held back by an archaic institutional framework that prevented a convergence to modern living standards during the European Golden Age. The results amplify the sharp contrast between pre1960s and post-1960s economic performance noted in the traditional literature on Ireland’s economic history. The study shows that Ireland might be viewed as “a land of missed opportunities” before it underwent a “great transition” driven by an improved institutional framework. Ireland’s great transition paved the way for the sharp relative welfare improvement during the Celtic Tiger period of the 1990s. Ireland offers novelty in relation to the GS literature having undergone two distinct development phases before economic convergence. The first phase from 1960-80 represented a typical weakly sustainable path. The second phase from 1987-2007 represented an Environmental Kuznets Curve type path.

description: In this study the decomposition of the antidepressant drug duloxetine through hydrolysis, photolysis and photocatalysis has been studied. The process of photolysis took place under UV-A irradiation for 24 hours and the effect of certain parameters on the kinetics of photolysis was examined. These parameters are the initial concentration of the drug, the pH value of the solution, the presence of humic acid and the presence of ions NO3- and Cl-. Also in order to determine the effect of environmental matrices, photolysis experiments were conducted in samples of drinking water, water samples from the river Aliakmonas and lake Kerkinh and sea water from the bay Potamos Epanomis. The process of photocatalysis took place under UV-A irradiation and TiO2 catalyst for 45 min and the effect of certain parameters on the kinetics of photocatalysis was examined. These parameters are the catalyst concentration, the initial concentration of the drug, the pH value of the solution and the presence of scavengers. Lastly the transformation products formed during photolysis and photocatalysis were identified by liquid chromatography/ mass spectrometry technique (LC/MS).
Hyperspherical approach to dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates beyond the mean-field limit

description: We apply a hyperspherical formulation to a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate with dipolar and contact interactions. Central to this approach is a general correspondence between K-harmonic hyperspherical methods and a suitable Gaussian ansatz to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, regardless of the form of the interparticle potential. This correspondence allows one to obtain hyperspherical potential energies for a wide variety of physical problems. In the case of the dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate, this motivates the inclusion of a beyond-mean field term within the hyperspherical picture, which allows us to describe the energies and wavefunctions of excitations of self-bound dipolar droplets outside of the mean-field limit.

description: Currently, string theory represents the only advanced approach to a unification of all interactions, including gravity. In spite of the more than thirty years of its existence it did not make any empirically testable predictions. And it is completely unknown which physically interpretable principles could form the basis of string theory. At the moment, "string theory" is no theory at all, but rather a labyrinthic structure of mathematical procedures and intuitions which get their justification from the fact that they, at least formally, reproduce general relativity and the standard model of elementary particle physics as low energy approximations. However, there are now strong indications that string theory does not only reproduce the dynamics and symmetries of our standard model, but a plethora of different scenarios with different low energy nomologies and symmetries. String theory seems to describe not only our world, but an immense landscape of possible worlds. So far, all attempts to find a selection principle which could be motivated intratheoretically remained without success. So, recently the idea that the low energy nomology of our world, and therefore also the observable phenomenology, could be the result of an anthropic selection from a vast arena of nomologically different scenarios entered string theory. Although multiverse scenarios and anthropic selection are not only motivated by string theory, but lead also to a possible explanation for the fine tuning of the universe, they are concepts which transcend the framework defined by the epistemological and methodological rules which conventionally form the basis of physics as an empirical science.

description: We have performed a series of numerical experiments aimed at studying the activation of Kerr black holes (BHs) by advection of small scale magnetic fields. Such configurations may potentially give rise to the formation of quasi-striped Blandford-Znajek jets. It can also lead to enhanced dissipation and generation of plasmoids in current sheets formed in the vicinity of the BH horizon, which may constitute a mechanism to power the hard X-ray emission seen in many accreting BH systems (a la lamppost models). Our analysis suggests that formation of quasi-striped jets with significant power may be possible provided loops with alternating polarity having sizes larger than $\sim 10 r_g$ or so can be maintained (either form sporadically or advected from outside) at a radius $\lesssim 10^2 r_g$. This conclusion is consistent with recent results of general relativistic force-free simulations. We also find that the accretion dynamics exhibits cyclic behaviour in MAD states, alternating between high accretion phases and quenched accretion phases during which the magnetosphere becomes force-free out to radii $\gtrsim 10r_g$. We suggest that such a behaviour should lead to notable variations of the observed luminosity and image of the inner disc (BH shadow image). Finally, we find that the transition between accreted loops on the BH gives rise to the formation of current sheets and energetic plasmoids on the jet boundary during intermittent periods when the jet becomes inactive, in addition to an equatorial current sheet that forms during peaks in the jet activity.

description: Constraining the astrophysical nature of Ultra-Luminous X-ray (ULX) sources, which have X-ray luminosities exceeding 10^39 erg/s, has been elusive due to the optical faintness of any counterparts. With high spectral resolution observations in the ~10-30 microns wavelength range we have conducted an experiment to study six ULX sources in the NGC 4485/90 galaxy pair. We have found that five of the six ULXs, based on mid-infrared spectral diagnostics, show the characteristic higher ionization features that are found in AGN. The sixth source, ULX-1, is consistent with being a supernova remnant. The chief infrared spectral diagnostics used are the ratios of [S III]/[Si II] vs [Ne III}]/[Ne II]. In two instances fits to the continuum and poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) features also indicate higher dust temperatures that are characteristic of accreting sources. Overall, however, we find the continuum is dominated by stellar processes, and the best diagnostic features are the emission lines. High spectral resolution studies in the mid-infrared thus appear to show great promise for determining the astrophysical nature of ULXs.

description: It was recently proposed by the second author to consider lattice formulations of QCD in which complete actions, including the gauge part, are built explicitly from a given Dirac operator D. In a simple example of such theory, the gauge action is proportional to the trace of Ginsparg-Wilson operator D chosen to define the quark dynamics. This construction relies on the proposition that the classical limit of lattice gauge operator tr D(x,x) is proportional to tr F.F(x) (up to an additive constant). Here we show this for the case of the overlap Dirac operator using both analytical and numerical methods. We carry out the same analysis also for the tensor component of D, which is similarly related to the field-strength tensor F, and obtain results identical to our previous derivation that used different approach. The corresponding proportionality constants are computed to high precision for wide range of the negative mass parameter values, and it is verified that they are the same in finite and infinite volumes.

We include the subadiabatic part of the tachocline and show that this, in conjunction with turbulent heat conductivity within the convection zone and overshoot region, provides the key physics to break the Taylor-Proudman constraint, which dictates differential rotation with contour lines parallel to the axis of rotation in case of an isentropic stratification. We show that differential rotation with contour lines inclined by 10 - 30 degrees with respect to the axis of rotation is a robust result of the model, which does not depend on the details of the Reynolds stress and the assumed viscosity, as long as the Reynolds stress transports angular momentum toward the equator. The meridional flow is more sensitive with respect to the details of the assumed Reynolds stress, but a flow cell, equatorward at the base of the convection zone and poleward in the upper half of the convection zone, is the preferred flow pattern.

description: We further analyze a class of recently studied metastable string vacua obtained by wrapping D5-branes and anti-D5-branes over rigid homologous S^2's of a non-compact Calabi-Yau threefold. The large N dual description is characterized by a potential for the glueball fields which is determined by an auxiliary matrix model. The higher order corrections to this potential produce a suprisingly rich phase structure. In particular, at sufficiently large 't Hooft coupling the metastable vacua present at weak coupling cease to exist. This instability can already be seen by an open string two loop contribution to the glueball potential. The glueball potential also lifts some of the degeneracy in the vacua characterized by the phases of the glueball fields. This generates an exactly computable non-vanishing axion potential at large N.

description: Η εμπορική μίσθωση αποτελεί ένα ιδιαίτερο είδος σύμβασης, και ως εκ τούτου σε πολλά σημεία διαφοροποιείται σημαντικά από τις ρυθμίσεις του Αστικού Κώδικα σχετικά με τη μίσθωση πράγματος. Οι ιδιομορφίες της εντοπίζονται από την κατάρτιση και τη λειτουργία της, ως τη λύση και την καταγγελία της και οφείλονται σε μεγάλο βαθμό στους ιδιαίτερους σκοπούς που επιδιώκονται μέσα από την πρόβλεψη του συγκεκριμένου νομοθετικού πλαισίου. Επαγγελματική μίσθωση είναι η μίσθωση πράγματος ακινήτου, η οποία συνάπτεται για να ασκηθεί σ’ αυτό δραστηριότητα προστατευόμενη από το νόμο. Η νομοθετική θέσπιση ιδιαίτερου καθεστώτος για τις εμπορικές μισθώσεις υπαγορεύτηκε από την ανάγκη προώθησης σκοπών που δεν προσιδιάζουν στις «κοινές» μισθωτικές συμβάσεις του Αστικού Κώδικα. Η υποστήριξη και η προστασία των μισθωτών – επαγγελματιών, επιχειρηματιών, αποτελεί εθνικής εμβέλειας δικαιϊκό στόχο, ο οποίος έχει τις ρίζες του στις ίδιες τις δομές του κοινωνικοοικονομικού μας συστήματος, η διασφάλιση πραγμάτωσης του οποίου προωθείται μέσω του ειδικά ρυθμιζόμενου από το δίκαιό μας θεσμού των εμπορικών μισθώσεων.
description: The commercial lease constitutes a special kind of contract and as a result differs significantly in many respects from the civil code’s regulations regarding the lease of thing. Its particularities are identified from its setting up and function, till its solution and termination, and are largely due to the specific objectives pursued through the provision of this specific legislative framework. Business lease is the lease of an immovable thing, which is concluded in order to apply to it protected activity by law. The legislation enactment of special regulations for commercial leases dictated by the need to promote goals that do not resemble to the "common" leasing contracts of the Civil Code. The support and protection of lessees - professionals, businessmen, constitutes a nationwide legal objective, which has its roots in the structures of our socioeconomic system, the realization of which is promoted through the specially regulated by our law institution of commercial leases.
Long-term X-ray spectral evolution of Ultraluminous X-ray sources: implications on the accretion flow geometry and the nature of the accretor

description: The discovery of pulsations in several Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) demonstrated that a fraction of ULXs are powered by super-Eddington accretion onto neutron stars (NSs). This opened the debate as to what is the NS to black hole (BH) ratio within the ULX population and what physical mechanism allows ULXs to reach luminosities well in excess of their Eddington luminosity: strong magnetic fields or rather strong outflows that collimate the emission towards the observer. To distinguish between supercritically accreting BHs, weakly or strongly magnetised NSs, we study the long-term X-ray spectral evolution of a sample of 17 ULXs, 6 of which are known to host NSs. We combine archival data from \chandra, \xmm\ and \nustar\ observatories to sample a wide range of spectral states for each source and track each source's evolution in a hardness-luminosity diagram (HLD). We find NS-ULXs to be among the hardest sources in our sample with highly variable high-energy emission. On this basis, we identify M81 X-6 as a strong NS-ULX candidate, whose variability is shown to be akin to that seen in NGC 1313 X-2. Most softer sources with unknown accretor show the presence of three markedly different spectral states that we interpret invoking changes in the mass-accretion rate and obscuration by the supercritical wind/funnel structure. Finally, we report on a lack of variability at high-energies ($\gtrsim$ 10 keV) in NGC 1313 X-1 and Holmberg IX X-1, which we argue may offer means to differentiate BH from NS-ULXs. We argue that the hardest sources in our sample might harbour strongly magnetised NSs, while softer sources may be explained by weakly magnetised NSs or BHs, in which the presence of outflows naturally explains their softer spectra through Compton down-scattering, their spectral transitions and the dilution of the pulsed-emission, should some of these sources contain NSs.

description: We present a new test of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) on galactic scales, based on the escape speed in the solar neighbourhood. This test is independent from other empirical successes of MOND at reproducing the phenomenology of galactic rotation curves. The galactic escape speed in MOND is entirely determined by the baryonic content of the Galaxy and the external field in which it is embedded. We estimate that the external field in which the Milky Way must be embedded to produce the observed local escape speed of 550 km/s is of the order of a_0/100, where a_0 is the dividing acceleration scale below which gravity is boosted in MOND. This is compatible with the external gravitational field actually acting on the Milky Way.

Model measuring for hybrid systems

Subjects: 000 Computer science, knowledge & general works

description: As hybrid systems involve continuous behaviors, they should be evaluated by quantitative methods, rather than qualitative methods. In this paper we adapt a quantitative framework, called model measuring, to the hybrid systems domain. The model-measuring problem asks, given a model M and a specification, what is the maximal distance such that all models within that distance from M satisfy (or violate) the specification. A distance function on models is given as part of the input of the problem. Distances, especially related to continuous behaviors are more natural in the hybrid case than the discrete case. We are interested in distances represented by monotonic hybrid automata, a hybrid counterpart of (discrete) weighted automata, whose recognized timed languages are monotone (w.r.t. inclusion) in the values of parameters.The contributions of this paper are twofold. First, we give sufficient conditions under which the model-measuring problem can be solved. Second, we discuss the modeling of distances and applications of the model-measuring problem.

Patterns of cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis and their relationship to neuropathology on magnetic resonance imaging
Creators: name: Ryan, Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Recent reviews (Peyser & Poser, 1986; Rao, 1986) suggest that Multiple Sclerosis results in cognitive impairments in the areas of learning and memory, abstract reasoning, information processing efficiency, and, often, visual-spatial ability. Whether this pattern applies to the individual with MS is unclear. Due to the disseminated distribution of MS neuropathology, patients may undergo idiosyncratic cognitive changes dependent upon the site of white matter lesions. The present study explored this question using cluster analysis on the neuropsychological data from a group of mildly disabled MS patients (n = 177) and a well-matched control group (n=89). In a group of MS patients who were identified with unequivocal cognitive impairment, the resultant clusters indicated that MS does not result in a characteristic pattern of impairment. Two clusters were obtained that resembled the pattern described in the literature, while the majority of patients clustered into groups with specific deficits in one or two areas, with normal performance in others. In order to identify associations between cluster groups and lesion sites, frequency tables were constructed for the presence of a lesion on Magnetic Resonance Imaging in 24 brain sites. An association was obtained between two lesion sites and two cognitive tests. Visual-spatial impairment, as assessed by the Benton Visual Retention test, was associated with lesions in the genu of the corpus callosum and with more lesions throughout the corpus callosum. Impaired performance on Paired Associates, a test of learning and memory for novel verbal associations, was associated with a lesion in the deep white matter of the left parietal lobe. The results support the hypothesis that MS results in multiple patterns of cognitive impairment depending on the individual placement of white matter lesions. Identifying and characterizing the heterogeneity of the impairment may greatly increase our understanding of the role of myelin in cognition and the functions of white matter tracts in the brain.

description: Magnetosheath jets are currently an important topic in the field of magnetosheath physics. It is thought that 97~\% of the jets are produced by the shock rippling at quasi-parallel shocks. Recently, large statistical studies of magnetosheath jets have been performed, however it is not clear whether rippling also produces jets found downstream of quasi-perpendicular shocks. We analyze four types of events in the quasi-perpendicular magnetosheath with signatures characteristic of magnetosheath jets, namely increased density and/or dynamic pressure, that were not produced by the shock rippling: 1) magnetic flux tubes connected to the quasi-parallel bow-shock, 2) non-reconnecting current sheets, 3) reconnection exhausts and 4) mirror mode waves. The flux tubes are downstream equivalents of the upstream traveling foreshocks. Magnetosheath jets can impact the magnetopause, so knowing the conditions under which they form may enable us to understand their signatures in the magnetosphere.

description: In the framework of the reaction operator approach we calculate and resum the multiple elastic scattering of a fast $q \bar{q}$ system traversing dense nuclear matter. We derive the collisional broadening of the meson's transverse momentum and the distortion of its intrinsic light cone wave function. The medium-induced dissociation probability of heavy mesons is shown to be sensitive to the opacity of the quark-gluon plasma and the time dependence of its formation and evolution. We solve the system of coupled rate equations that describe the competition between the fragmentation of $c$- and $b$-quarks and the QGP-induced dissociation of the $D$- and $B$-mesons to evaluate the quenching of heavy hadrons in nucleus-nucleus collisions. In contrast to previous results on heavy quark modification, this approach predicts suppression of $B$-mesons comparable to that of $D$-mesons at transverse momenta as low as $p_T \sim 10$ GeV. It allows for an improved description of the large attenuation of non-photonic electrons in central Au+Au reactions at RHIC.
