description: Inequalities are abundant in a society with a number of agents competing for a limited amount of resource. Statistics of such social inequalities are usually represented by the Lorenz function $L(p)$, where $p$ fraction of the population possesses $L(p)$ fraction of the total wealth, when the population is arranged in the ascending order of their wealth. Similarly, in scientometrics, such inequalities can be represented by a plot of the citation count against the respective number of papers by a scientist, again arranged in the ascending order of their citation counts. Quantitatively, these inequalities are captured by the corresponding inequality indices, namely the Kolkata $k$ and the Hirsch $h$ indices, given by the fixed points of these nonlinear functions. In statistical physics of criticality, the fixed points of the Renormalization Group generator functions are studied in their self-similar limit, where its (fractal) structure converges to a unique form. The statistical indices in the social science, however, correspond to the fixed points where the values of the generator function (wealth or citation sizes) are commensurately abundant in fractions or numbers (of persons or papers). We introduce and study these indices for the inequalities of (pre-failure) avalanches, given by their size distributions in the Fiber Bundle Models (FBM) of non-brittle materials. We show how a prior knowledge of the terminal and almost universal value of the $k$ index for a wide range of disorder parameter, can help in predicting an imminent catastrophic breakdown in the model. This observation has also been complemented by noting a similar (but not identical) behavior of the Hirsch index ($h$), redefined for such avalanche statistics.

description: Der Aufsatz ist eine Gemeinschaftsarbeit zweier renommierter Gelehrten auf dem Gebiet der christlichen Ikonographie (Gerhardt) und der Goethe-Philologie (Reinhardt). Sie spannt einen weiten Bogen: Von einer Notiz des Italienreisenden Goethe, der 1786 im Dom von Verona seinen ersten Tizian betrachtet und – in Verkennung des tatsächlich dargestellten Motivs – sein Gefallen daran notiert, dass "die Himmelfahrende Maria nicht hinaufwärts sondern nach ihren Freunden niederwärts" blickt; über die mittelalterlichen Tradition der (tatsächlich dargestellten) sogenannten Gürtelspende Marias an den Apostel Thomas und Goethes produktives Missverständnis im Sinne der Weltzugewandtheit der Madonna (als Beispiel einer säkularisierten Wendung eines religiösen Bildthemas); bis hin zur Fernwirkung der Veroneser Madonna in der Mater Gloriosa und ihrem Retterblick in der Schluss-Szene des Faust.

description: R-parity conserving supersymmetric models with right-handed (RH) neutrinos are very appealing since they could naturally explain neutrino physics and also provide a good dark matter (DM) candidate such as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). In this work we consider the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model (NMSSM) plus RH neutrino superfields, with effective Majorana masses dynamically generated at the electroweak scale (EW). We perform a scan of the relevant parameter space and study both possible DM candidates: RH sneutrino and neutralino. Especially for the case of RH sneutrino DM we analyse the intimate relation between both candidates to obtain the correct amount of relic density. Besides the well-known resonances, annihilations through scalar quartic couplings and coannihilation mechanisms with all kind of neutralinos, are crucial. Finally, we present the impact of current and future direct and indirect detection experiments on both DM candidates.

description: Mega-parsec scale radio sources in the form of halos and relics are often detected in dynamically disturbed galaxy clusters. Although they are associated with merger-induced turbulence and shocks, respectively, their formation is not fully understood. We aim to identify the mechanisms responsible for particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification in the halo and relics of the galaxy cluster ClG 0217+70. We observed ClG 0217+70 with LOFAR at 141 MHz and VLA at 1.5 GHz, and combine these observations with VLA 1.4 GHz archival data to study the morphological and spectral properties of the diffuse sources. We add Chandra archival data to examine the thermal and non-thermal properties of the halo. Our LOFAR and VLA data confirm the presence of a giant radio halo in the cluster centre and multiple relics in the outskirts. The radio and X-ray emission from the halo are correlated, implying a tight relation between the thermal and non-thermal components. The diffuse radio structure in the south east with a projected size of 3.5 Mpc is the most extended radio relic detected to date. The spectral index across the relic width steepens towards the cluster centre, suggesting the electron ageing in the post-shock regions. The shock Mach numbers for the relics derived from the spectral index map range between 2.0 and 3.2. However, the integrated spectral indices lead to increasingly high Mach numbers for the relics farther from the cluster centre. This discrepancy could be because the relation between injection and integrated spectra does not hold for distant shocks, suggesting that the cooling time for the radio-emitting electrons is longer than the crossing time of the shocks. The variations in the surface brightness of the relics and the low Mach numbers imply that the radio-emitting electrons are re-accelerated from fossil plasma that could originate in active galactic nuclei.

Εκ πρώτης όψεως, επιφανειακά δεν υπάρχει καμία επαφή και καμία αιτιώδης σχέση ανάμεσα σε αυτές τις δυο έννοιες. Αλλά μπορούμε να βρούμε διάφορα αμέτρητα κοινωνικά μηνύματα από τους ατελείωτους Ορθόδοξους Ιερούς Πατέρες, οι οποίοι έκαναν λόγο για αυτό το θέμα πριν πολλά χρόνια. Οι αναφορές τους σχετικά με τη φτώχεια και τον πλούτο, είναι αξιοσημείωτες και ακόμη πολύ διαχρονικές, παρουσιάζοντας πραγματικά μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον στη ζωή μας. Επίσης, αξίζει να αναφερθούμε στη Βυζαντινή Αυτοκρατορία, η οποία έδωσε τα φώτα της σε ολόκληρο το σύγχρονο κόσμο με πολλούς διαφορετικούς τρόπους, όπως με τη δημιουργία του « Κράτους Πρόνοιας».

Τέλος, θα μπορούσαμε να πούμε ότι όλα τα Ορθόδοξα Διδάγματα έχουν ένα κοινό σημείο αναφοράς: την αγάπη και το σεβασμό στους συνανθρώπους μας καθώς και να μην είμαστε αμέτοχοι σε αυτή την κατάσταση που επέβαλε η οικονομική κρίση, η οποία αποτελεί μία πραγματική μάστιγα για τον κόσμο μας
description: This postgraduate work, titled “The Social Teaching of Church and Economic Crisis” tries to describe the social value of the Holy Fathers’ messages and to analyze the modern economic crisis. From the first side, there isn’t any contact or any reasonable relation between these two meanings, on the surface. But we can find different accountable social messages from the eternal Orthodox Holy Fathers, who talked about this theme, years and years ago. Their references about the poverty and wealth are noticeable and even very contemporary, which really presented a lot of interest, in our lives. Moreover, it is worthy to say about the Byzantine Empire, which enlightens the entire modern world in different ways, like the creation of the “Welfare State”. We can talk about a worldwide and international phenomenon that shows all the glory and the magnificence of the whole Hellenism. Furthermore, in this research, we have the opportunity to see some other civilizations, their behavior and their point of view about the modern economic crisis, in general. Finally, we can say that all the Orthodox teachings have a main point of view about the modern economic crisis, in have a main point: to love and respect our fellows and not be uninvolved in this situation of the economic crisis, which consists a real plague for our world

description: Multi-organ segmentation of X-ray images is of fundamental importance for computer aided diagnosis systems. However, the most advanced semantic segmentation methods rely on deep learning and require a huge amount of labeled images, which are rarely available due to both the high cost of human resources and the time required for labeling. In this paper, we present a novel multi-stage generation algorithm based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) that can produce synthetic images along with their semantic labels and can be used for data augmentation. The main feature of the method is that, unlike other approaches, generation occurs in several stages, which simplifies the procedure and allows it to be used on very small datasets. The method has been evaluated on the segmentation of chest radiographic images, showing promising results. The multistage approach achieves state-of-the-art and, when very few images are used to train the GANs, outperforms the corresponding single-stage approach.

description: (Abridged) We use a complete sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) selected on the basis of relativistically beamed 15 GHz radio flux density to derive the parent radio luminosity function (RLF) of bright radio-selected blazar cores. We use a maximum likelihood method to fit a beamed RLF to the observed data and thereby recover the parameters of the intrinsic (unbeamed) RLF. We analyze two subsamples of the MOJAVE sample: the first contains only objects of known FR II class, with a total of 103 sources, and the second subsample adds 24 objects of uncertain FR class for a total of 127 sources. Both subsamples exclude four known FR I radio galaxies and two gigahertz-peaked spectrum sources. We obtain good fits to both subsamples using a single power law intrinsic RLF with pure density evolution function. We find that a previously reported break in the observed MOJAVE RLF actually arises from using incomplete bins (because of the luminosity cutoff) across a steep and strongly evolving RLF, and does not reflect a break in the intrinsic RLF. The derived space density of the parent population of the FR II sources from the MOJAVE sample (with L>1.3e25 W/Hz) is approximately 1600/Gpc^3.

description: We present a first-principles investigation of the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of pyrolusite ($β$-MnO$_2$) using conventional and extended Hubbard-corrected density-functional theory (DFT+$U$ and DFT+$U$+$V$). The onsite $U$ and intersite $V$ Hubbard parameters are computed using linear-response theory in the framework of density-functional perturbation theory. We show that while the inclusion of the onsite $U$ is crucial to describe the localized nature of the Mn($3d$) states, the intersite $V$ is key to capture accurately the strong hybridization between neighboring Mn($3d$) and O($2p$) states. In this framework, we stabilize the simplified collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering (suggested by the Goodenough-Kanamori rule) that is commonly used as an approximation to the experimentally-observed noncollinear screw-type spiral magnetic ordering. A detailed investigation of the ferromagnetic and of other three collinear AFM spin configurations is also presented. The findings from Hubbard-corrected DFT are discussed using two kinds of Hubbard manifolds - nonorthogonalized and orthogonalized atomic orbitals - showing that special attention must be given to the choice of the Hubbard projectors, with orthogonalized manifolds providing more accurate results than nonorthogonalized ones within DFT+$U$+$V$. This work paves the way for future studies of complex transition-metal compounds containing strongly localized electrons in the presence of pronounced covalent interactions.

description: We analyze very deep HST, VLT and Spitzer photometry of galaxies at 22 galaxies. The estimated distributions of these properties do not change significantly when adding IRAC data to the UBVIJHK photometry. However, for individual galaxies the addition of IRAC can improve the constraints on the stellar populations, especially for red galaxies: uncertainties in stellar mass decrease by a factor of 2.7 for red (U-V > 1) galaxies, but only by a factor of 1.3 for blue (U-V < 1) galaxies. We find a similar color-dependence of the improvement for estimates of age and dust extinction. In addition, the improvement from adding IRAC depends on the availability of full near-infrared JHK coverage; if only K-band were available, the mass uncertainties of blue galaxies would decrease by a more substantial factor 1.9. Finally, we find that a trend of galaxy color with stellar mass is already present at z>2. The most massive galaxies at high redshift have red rest-frame U-V colors compared to lower mass galaxies even when allowing for complex star formation histories.

$P$-wave quarkonium wavefunctions at the origin in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We compute $P$-wave quarkonium wavefunctions at the origin in the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme based on nonrelativistic effective field theories. We include nonperturbative effects from the long-distance behaviors of the potential, while the short-distance behaviors are determined from perturbative QCD. We obtain $\overline{\rm MS}$-renormalized $P$-wave quarkonium wavefunctions at the origin that have the correct scale dependences that are expected from factorization formalisms, so that the dependences on the scheme and scale cancel in physical quantities. This greatly reduces the theoretical uncertainties associated with scheme and scale dependences in predictions of decay and production rates. Based on the calculation of the $P$-wave wavefunctions at the origin in this work, we make first-principles predictions of electromagnetic decay rates and exclusive electromagnetic production rates of $P$-wave charmonia and bottomonia, and compare them with measurements.

Evolution of microstructure and texture during continuous annealing of cold rolled, Ti-stablized interstitial-free steel
Creators: name: Mukunthan, Kannappar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Interstitial-Free (I-F) steels are increasingly being used for press forming operations due to their markedly improved deep-drawability. Additional interest is due to the fact that the cold rolled I-F steels can be effectively heat treated in a continuous annealing line without the need for any accompanying overaging process. The objective of this study was to characterize the evolution of microstructure and crystallographic texture of a 80 % cold rolled, Ti-stabilized I-F steel during heating rates applicable to batch and continuous annealing processes. Isothermal recovery kinetics, as monitored by {220} x-ray peak resolution measurements, were described using a semi-empirical logarithmic equation. Isothermal recrystallization kinetics were determined by quantitative metallographic measurements and were characterized by both Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov and Speich-Fisher relationships. The isothermal recrystallization kinetics were also described in terms of the experimentally determined microstructural path function and an empirical kinetic function relating the interfaceaveraged growth rate with recrystallization time. The additivity procedure was success fully employed in conjunction with the isothermal kinetic parameters to predict continuous heating recovery and recrystallization kinetics at heating rates simulating batch and continuous annealing processing. Microstructural examination showed that the recrystallization event was heterogeneous and related to the cold rolled cell structure. The recrystallized nuclei, developed primarily by subgrain coalescence occurring during the later stages of recovery, grew into the cold rolled matrix by the migration of high misorientation boundaries. Large precipitates of TiN and TiS acting as preferred nucleation sites and fine precipitates impeding the boundary mobility were also observed. The hot band texture with the moderate presence of (112)[1ï0] yielded a strongly developed cold rolled texture extending from (001)[1ï0] to (112)[1ï0]. The recrystallization texture was characterized by the strong presence of (554)[225] and (111) [1ï0]. Grain growth following recrystallization strengthened the existing texture with an accompanying improvement in average strain ratio values. The effect of heating rate on the final recrystallization texture was found to be insignificant.
Why the xE distribution triggered by a leading particle does not measure the fragmentation function but does measure the ratio of the transverse momenta of the away-side jet to the trigger-side jet

description: Hard-scattering of point-like constituents (or partons) in p-p collisions was discovered at the CERN-ISR in 1972 by measurements utilizing inclusive single or pairs of hadrons with large transverse momentum ($p_T$). It was generally assumed, following Feynman, Field and Fox, as shown by data from the CERN-ISR experiments, that the $p_{T_a}$ distribution of away side hadrons from a single particle trigger [with $p_{T_t}$], corrected for of fragmentation would be the same as that from a jet-trigger and follow the same fragmentation function as observed in $e^+ e^-$ or DIS. PHENIX attempted to measure the fragmentation function from the away side $x_E\sim p_{T_a}/p_{T_t}$ distribution of charged particles triggered by a $π^0$ in p-p collisions at RHIC and showed by explicit calculation that the $x_E$ distribution is actually quite insensitive to the fragmentation function. Illustrations of the original arguments and ISR results will be presented. Then the lack of sensitivity to the fragmentation function will be explained, and an analytic formula for the $x_E$ distribution given, in terms of incomplete Gamma functions, for the case where the fragmentation function is exponential. The away-side distribution in this formulation has the nice property that it both exhibits $x_E$ scaling and is directly sensitive to the ratio of the away jet $\hat{p}_{T_a}$ to that of the trigger jet, $\hat{p}_{T_t}$, and thus can be used, for example, to measure the relative energy loss of the two jets from a hard-scattering which escape from the medium in A+A collisions. Comparisons of the analytical formula to RHIC measurements will be presented, including data from STAR and PHENIX, leading to some interesting conclusions.

description: The contribution of culture to the learning of the Italian language. The study of the Italian language textbook Nuovo Progetto italiano 1 case. The selection of elements of the Italian culture, which some of them are well-known and some less known, as a stimulus for the students to understand the Italian language through culture. The first part refers to the theoretical concepts of culture and semiotics, the contribution of culture in foreign language teaching, the common frame of reference for foreign languages, the teaching of foreign languages in Greek education and, in particular, of the Italian language. In addition, the role of the textbook and the image in it is analyzed. Furthermore there is an analysis of the images contained in the eleven culture units of the textbook. The analysis is based on the code model, which leaves to the correlation of culture with the grammatical phenomena and the linguistic functions of each unit of study. Beside some activities for the teacher are provided. In the conclusions, the codes are recorded in percentage format and general conclusions are given on the subject of the cultural units and their use in the teaching of the Italian language

description: Music preference was reported as a factor, which could elicit innermost music emotion, entailing accurate ground-truth data and music therapy efficiency. This study executes statistical analysis to investigate the distinction of music preference through familiarity scores, response times (response rates), and brain response (EEG). Twenty participants did self-assessment after listening to two types of popular music's chorus section: music without lyrics (Melody) and music with lyrics (Song). \textcolor{red}{We then conduct a music preference classification using a support vector machine, random forest, and k-nearest neighbors with the familiarity scores, the response rates, and EEG as the feature vectors. The statistical analysis and F1-score of EEG are congruent, which is the brain's right side outperformed its left side in classification performance.} Finally, these behavioral and brain studies support that preference, familiarity, and response rates can contribute to the music emotion experiment's design to understand music, emotion, and listener. Not only to the music industry, the biomedical and healthcare industry can also exploit this experiment to collect data from patients to improve the efficiency of healing by music.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας μελέτης είναι η διερεύνηση των αποτελεσματικών πρακτικών διαχείρισης των ψυχικών διαταραχών, όπως εφαρμόζονται από τους ειδικούς της Β’ Μονάδας Ψυχοκοινωνικής Στήριξης Επαρχιακού Τύπου Θεσσαλονίκης (Β’ ΜΟΨΣΕΤ), ως παράδειγμα κοινοτικής δομής ψυχικής υγείας. Η μελέτη βασίσθηκε στη μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση της θεσμικής εθνογραφίας. Πραγματοποιήθηκε αρχικά συμμετοχική παρατήρηση του τρόπου λειτουργίας της υπηρεσίας και εφαρμογής καθημερινών πρακτικών και στη συνέχεια διεξήχθησαν ημι-δομημένες συνεντεύξεις με τους χρήστες των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών, με στόχο να αξιολογηθούν οι υπό μελέτη πρακτικές και να αναδειχθούν οι σχετικές απόψεις των συμμετεχόντων. Τα δεδομένα των καταγραφών και των συνεντεύξεων ομαδοποιήθηκαν κατά άξονα σύμφωνα με τα ευρήματα της βιβλιογραφίας ως προς τις ενδεδειγμένες αρχές οργάνωσης των κοινοτικών υπηρεσιών και η επεξεργασία τους πραγματοποιήθηκε με βάση τη θεματική ανάλυση. Τα αποτελέσματα ανέδειξαν ένα σύνολο αποτελεσματικών πρακτικών, οι οποίες ενσαρκώνουν τις αρχές οργάνωσης των κοινοτικών δομών και βασίζονται εν γένει σε πρακτικά στοιχεία οργάνωσης της μονάδας, στην επιστημονικότητα των επαγγελματιών που την απαρτίζουν και τέλος, στην έμφαση που δίνεται στην δημιουργία θετικών θεραπευτικών σχέσεων
description: The aim of the current study is to investigate the effective practices for managing mental disorders, as they are applied by the experts of the 2nd Rural Psychosocial Support Unit of Thessaloniki, as an example of community mental health service. The study was based on the methodological approach of institutional ethnography. Participatory observation concerning the way the service was run and the implementation of daily practices was carried out at first and then semi-structured interviews were conducted with the users of the services provided in order to evaluate the under study practices and to highlight the relevant views of the participants. The data of the recordings and interviews were grouped according to the findings of the literature with regard to the appropriate principles of organizing community services, while their processing was based on the thematic analysis. The results have highlighted a set of effective practices, which embody the principles of community services and are based on practical elements of the unit’s structure, the scientific knowledge of its practitioners and the emphasis on positive therapeutic relationships
Asymptotic Infrared Fractal Structure of the Propagator for a Charged Fermion

description: It is well known that the long-range nature of the Coulomb interaction makes the definition of asymptotic ``in'' and ``out'' states of charged particles problematic in quantum field theory. In particular, the notion of a simple particle pole in the vacuum charged particle propagator is untenable and should be replaced by a more complicated branch cut structure describing an electron interacting with a possibly infinite number of soft photons. Previous work suggests a Dirac propagator raised to a fractional power dependent upon the fine structure constant, however the exponent has not been calculated in a unique gauge invariant manner. It has even been suggested that the fractal ``anomalous dimension'' can be removed by a gauge transformation. Here, a gauge invariant non-perturbative calculation will be discussed yielding an unambiguous fractional exponent. The closely analogous case of soft graviton exponents is also briefly explored.

description: Vector-boson scattering (VBS) processes probe the innermost structure of electroweak interactions in the Standard Model, and provide a unique sensitivity for new physics phenomena affecting the gauge sector. In this review, we report on the salient aspects of this class of processes, both from the theory and experimental point of view. We start by discussing recent achievements relevant for their theoretical description, some of which have set important milestones in improving the precision and accuracy of the corresponding simulations. We continue by covering the development of experimental techniques aimed at detecting these rare processes and improving the signal sensitivity over large backgrounds. We then summarise the details of the most relevant VBS signatures and review the related measurements available to date, along with their comparison with Standard-Model predictions. We conclude by discussing the perspective at the upcoming Large Hadron Collider runs and at future hadron facilities.

description: We measure the projected half-light radii of young star clusters in 31 galaxies from the Legacy Extragalactic UV Survey (LEGUS). We implement a custom pipeline specifically designed to be robust against contamination, which allows us to measure radii for 6097 clusters. This is the largest sample of young star cluster radii currently available. We find that most (but not all) galaxies share a common cluster radius distribution, with the peak at around 3 pc. We find a clear mass-radius relation of the form $R_{\mathrm{eff}} \propto M^{0.24}$. This relation is present at all cluster ages younger than 1 Gyr, but with a shallower slope for clusters younger than 10 Myr. We present simple toy models to interpret these age trends, finding that high-mass clusters are more likely to be not tidally limited and expand. We also find that most clusters in LEGUS are gravitationally bound, especially at older ages or higher masses. Lastly, we present the cluster density and surface density distributions, finding a large scatter that appears to decrease with cluster age. The youngest clusters have a typical surface density of 100 $M_\odot$ pc$^{-2}$.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας μεταπτυχιακής διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη της τελεστικής τάξης της θείας Λειτουργίας, σύμφωνα με τα μυσταγωγικά υπομνήματα των πατέρων του ΙΔ´και ΙΕ´αιώνα, Νικολάου Καβάσιλα και Συμεών αρχιεπισκόπου Θεσσαλονίκης. Εξετάσαμε τον βίο και τις διαφορετικές ερμηνευτικές προϋποθέσεις των δύο Πατέρων καθώς και έτερα βυζαντινά υπομνήματα που προηγήθηκαν και επηρέασαν την θεολογική τους σκέψη. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάσαμε αναλυτικά την πορεία της Θείας Λειτουργίας, από τα προπαρασκευαστικά στάδια της προετοιμασίας των λειτουργών και των προσφορών μέχρι την κορύφωση της ιερουργίας και την απόλυση των πιστών, σύμφωνα πάντα με τη διδασκαλία των αγίων Νικολάου Καβάσιλα και Συμεών Θεσσαλονίκης. Επίσης αναφερθήκαμε αναλυτικά στα ιδιαίτερα τελετουργικά στοιχεία που συνθέτουν την ιερουργία, όπως και στους μυσταγωγικούς συμβολισμούς που προκύπτουν από αυτά. Ένα άλλο θέμα που θίξαμε ήταν τα σύγχρονα τελεστικά προβλήματα που εντοπίζονται στην τέλεση της θειας Λειτουργίας. Ακολουθώντας την μακραίωνη παράδοση της Εκκλησίας και συγγράμματα σύγχρονων λειτουργιολόγων, προσπαθήσαμε να ανιχνεύσουμε τις ορθές πρακτικές, oι οποίες αποκαθάρουν τα επίσεικτα στοιχεία και είναι σύμφωνες με την τάξη καί την Παράδοση της Εκκλησίας
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the ritual order of the divine Liturgy, according to the mystagogical lectures of the fathers of XIV and XV century, Nicolas Kabasilas and Symeon Archbishop of Thessaloniki. We examined the life and the different interpretative conditions of the two Fathers as well as other Byzantine lectures that preceded and influenced their theological thought. Then we presented in detail the course of Divine Liturgy, from the preparatory stages of the preparation of the priests and the Gifts to the culmination of the officiation and the dismissal of the faithful, according to the teaching of the saints Nicolas Kabasila and Symeon of Thessaloniki. We also referred to the particular ritualistic elements that make up the officiation, as well as to the mystagogical symbols that emerge from them. Another aim of this study was the contemporary ritual problems that are found in the accomplishment of the divine Liturgy. Following the long tradition of the Church and the writings of modern Liturgical theologians, we tried to trace the orthodox practices, which restore the adventitious elements and are in accordance with the Οrder and the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church
Additional restrictions on quasi-exactly solvable systems

description: In this paper we discuss constraints on two-dimensional quantum-mechanical systems living in domains with boundaries. The constrains result from the requirement of hermicity of corresponding Hamiltonians. We construct new two-dimensional families of formally exactly solvable systems and applying such constraints show that in real the systems are quasi-exactly solvable at best. Nevertheless in the context of pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians some of the constructed families are exactly solvable.

description: Krawtchouk's polynomials occur classically as orthogonal polynomials with respect to the binomial distribution. They may be also expressed in the form of matrices, that emerge as arrays of the values that the polynomials take. The algebraic properties of these matrices provide a very interesting and accessible example in the approach to probability theory known as quantum probability. First it is noted how the Krawtchouk matrices are connected to the classical symmetric Bernoulli random walk. And we show how to derive Krawtchouk matrices in the quantum probability context via tensor powers of the elementary Hadamard matrix. Then connections with the classical situation are shown by calculating expectation values in the quantum case.
