description: Η ιατρική διάγνωση είναι η διαδικασία κατά την οποία ένας εμπειρογνώμονας διατίθεται να βρει από ποια ασθένεια μπορεί να πάσχει ένας εξεταζόμενος ανάλογα με τα συμπτώματα που εμφανίζει. Ωστόσο, το ευρύ φάσμα της ιατρικής περικλείεται από ένα περιβάλλον ασάφειας, αβεβαιότητας και έλλειψης ιατρικής γνώσης, στοιχεία τα οποία επηρεάζουν αρνητικά τη διαδικασία διάγνωσης άρα και την κρίση ενός ιατρού. Στόχος της εργασίας είναι να προτείνει και να εφαρμόσει την ασαφή λογική ως υποβοήθηση στο παραπάνω πρόβλημα, μιας και η ίδια μπορεί να διαχειριστεί οποιαδήποτε πληροφορία μέσα σε ένα αβέβαιο και ασαφές περιβάλλον. Η ασαφής λογική λαμβάνει υπόψη την ασάφεια χρησιμοποιώντας τον βαθμό συμμετοχής, ενώ η προέκταση τής ασαφούς λογικής (τα προηγμένα ασαφή σύνολα) προσαρμόζεται καλύτερα στα δεδομένα της πληροφορίας με τις επιπλέον παραμέτρους: τον βαθμό μη συμμετοχής και τον βαθμό απροσδιοριστίας. Η καινοτομία της εργασίας αυτής είναι η χρήση των τελεστών συσσωμάτωσης οι οποίοι συνεισφέρουν στην αποδοτικότερη εκτίμηση και αξιολόγηση των αποτελεσμάτων αφού συνδυάζουν πολλαπλές πηγές πληροφορίας. Η μέθοδος του Sanchez, οι τελεστές συσσωμάτωσης, και τα μέτρα ομοιότητας εφαρμόστηκαν σε ιατρικά δεδομένα προκειμένου να γίνει η ταξινόμηση τεσσάρων ασθενών – με τα συμπτώματα: θερμοκρασία, πονοκέφαλος, πόνος στο στομάχι, βήχας και πόνος στο στήθος – στις ασθένειες: ιογενής πυρετός, πυρετός ελονοσίας, τυφοειδής πυρετός, στομαχικά προβλήματα και προβλήματα στο στήθος. Το αποτέλεσμα της διάγνωσης διαφέρει από μέθοδο σε μέθοδο. Συμπερασματικά, τα προηγμένα ασαφή σύνολα με τη χρήση των τελεστών συσσωμάτωσης εμφάνισαν πιο αξιόπιστα αποτελέσματα, λόγω της δεύτερης γνώμης που εμπεριέχεται στα ιατρικά δεδομένα και λόγω της σχετικής ομοιότητας που έχουν σχετικά με προηγούμενες μελέτες. Η παρούσα εργασία αποτελεί συμπληρωματική έρευνα της δημοσίευσης: «Intelligent Medical Diagnosis Reasoning Using Composite Fuzzy Relation, Aggregation Operators and Similarity Measure of q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets» των Anastasios Dounis και Angelos Stefopoulos του περιοδικού Applied Sciences του MDPI.

Online classification of imagined speech using functional near-infrared spectroscopy signals

description: Most brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) require that users perform mental tasks such as motor imagery, mental arithmetic, or music imagery to convey a message or to answer simple yes or no questions. These cognitive tasks usually have no direct association with the communicative intent, which makes them difficult for users to perform. In this paper, a 3-class intuitive BCI is presented which enables users to directly answer yes or no questions by covertly rehearsing the word 'yes' or 'no' for 15 s. The BCI also admits an equivalent duration of unconstrained rest which constitutes the third discernable task. Twelve participants each completed one offline block and six online blocks over the course of 2 sessions. The mean value of the change in oxygenated hemoglobin concentration during a trial was calculated for each channel and used to train a regularized linear discriminant analysis (RLDA) classifier. By the final online block, 9 out of 12 participants were performing above chance (p<0.001), with a 3-class accuracy of 83.8+9.4%. Even when considering all participants, the average online 3-class accuracy over the last 3 blocks was 64.1+20.6%, with only 3 participants scoring below chance (p<0.001). For most participants, channels in the left temporal and temporoparietal cortex provided the most discriminative information. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an online fNIRS 3-class imagined speech BCI. Our findings suggest that imagined speech can be used as a reliable activation task for selected users for the development of more intuitive BCIs for communication.
Simultaneous quantization of edge and bulk Hall conductivity

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: The edge Hall conductivity is shown to be an integer multiple of $e^2/h$ which is almost surely independent of the choice of the disordered configuration. Its equality to the bulk Hall conductivity given by the Kubo-Chern formula follows from K-theoretic arguments. This leads to quantization of the Hall conductance for any redistribution of the current in the sample. It is argued that in experiments at most a few percent of the total current can be carried by edge states.

Simulating the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of local observables by trading entanglement for mixture

description: The fact that the computational cost of simulating a many-body quantum system on a computer increases with the amount of entanglement has been considered as the major bottleneck for simulating its out-of-equilibrium dynamics. Some aspects of the dynamics are, nevertheless, robust under appropriately devised approximations. Here we present a possible algorithm that allows to systematically approximate the equilibration value of local operators after a quantum quench. At the core of our proposal there is the idea to transform entanglement between distant parts of the system into mixture, and at the same time preserving the local reduced density matrices of the system. We benchmark the resulting algorithm by studying quenches of quadratic Fermionic Hamiltonians.

description: The observed hierarchy of quark and lepton masses and mixings may be obtained by adding an abelian family symmetry to the Minimal Supersymmetric Model and coupling quarks and leptons to an electroweak singlet scalar field. In a large class of such models, this symmetry suffers from anomalies which must be compensated by the Green-Schwarz mechanism; this in turn fixes the electroweak mixing angle to be $\sin^2 θ_W = 3/8$ at the string scale, without any assumed GUT structure. The analysis is extended to two distinct generalisations of the Standard Model: neutrino masses and mixings and R-parity violating interactions.

description: Interfaces between dissimilar materials control the transport of energy in a range of technologies including solar cells (electron transport), batteries (ion transport), and thermoelectrics (heat transport). Advances in computer power and algorithms means that first-principles models of interfacial processes in realistic systems are now possible using accurate approaches such as density functional theory. In this `quick-start guide', we discuss the best practice in how to construct atomic models between two materials and analysis techniques appropriate to probe changes in local bonding and electronic band offsets. A number of examples are given related to perovskite solar cells.

description: The influence of the antiferromagnetic order on the superconductor in the mixed state results in creation of spin-flop domains along the cores of the vortex lines. It is shown that this phenomenon makes possible crossover from quantum creep regime to thermal one, and vice versa, at constant temperature. To do this one needs to simply change the intensity or the direction of applied magnetic field in the basal ${\bf ab}$ plane of layered structure.

description: The vibronic dynamics of a trapped ion in the resolved-sideband regime can be described by the explicitly time-dependent nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model. It is shown that the expectation value of the interaction Hamiltonian and its non-equal-time commutator can be determined by measuring the electronic-state evolution. This yields direct insight into the time-ordering contributions to the unitary time evolution. In order to prove extraction of the quantities of interest works for possibly real data, we demonstrate the procedure by means of generated data.

description: The overlap formalism of chiral fermions provides a tool to measure the index, Q, of the chiral Dirac operator in a fixed gauge field background on the lattice. This enables a numerical measurement of the probability distribution, p(Q), in Yang-Mills theories. We have obtained an estimate for p(Q) in pure SU(2) gauge theory by measuring Q on 140 independent gauge field configurations generated on a 12^4 lattice using the standard single plaquette Wilson action at a coupling of beta=2.4. This distribution is in good agreement with a recent measurement [8] of the distribution of the topological charge on the same lattice using the same coupling and the same lattice gauge action. In particular we find =3.3(4) to be compared with = 3.9(5) found in [8]. The good agreement between the two distributions is an indication that the continuum index theorem can be carried over in a probabilistic sense on to the lattice.

description: Global MCAO aims to exploit a very wide technical field of view to find AO-suitable NGSs, with the goal to increase the overall sky coverage. The concept foresees the use of numerical entities, called Virtual Deformable Mirrors, to deal with the nominally thin depth of focus reduction, due to the field of view size. These objects act together as a best fit of the atmospheric layers behavior, in a limited number of conjugation altitudes, so to become the starting point for a further optimization of the real deformable mirrors shapes for the correction of the -smaller- scientific field. We developed a simulator, which numerically combines, in a Layer-Oriented fashion, the measurements of a given number of wavefront sensors, each dedicated to one reference star, to optimize the performance in the NGSs directions. Here we describe some details of the numerical code employed in the simulator, along with the philosophy behind some of the algorithms involved, listing the main goals and assumptions. Several details, including, for instance, how the number and conjugation heights of the VDMs are chosen in the simulation code, are briefly given. Furthermore, we also discuss the possible approaches to define a merit function to optimize the best solution. Finally, after an overview of the remaining issues and limitations of the method, numerical results obtained studying the influence of Cn2 profiles on the reconstruction quality and the delivered SR in a number of fields in the sky are given.

description: Το τοπίο της ευρωπαϊκής ηπείρου μετά το τέλος του Α’ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου είχε αλλάξει ολοκληρωτικά. Το τέλος των αυτοκρατοριών και η δημιουργία της ευρωπαϊκής πραγματικότητας σχεδόν όπως τη γνωρίζουμε σήμερα, βοήθησε στην εδραίωση δύο εκ διαμέτρου αντίθετων ιδεολογιών, που πάλευαν να επιβιώσουν, το ναζισμό και τον κομμουνισμό. Η Γερμανία μετά την ήττα της στο Μεγάλο Πόλεμο, την ανακωχή και τους δυσβάσταχτους για εκείνη όρους, ένιωθε την ανάγκη μίας επανάστασης, η οποία θα οδηγούσε τη Γερμανία σε τιμές και δόξα. Η ανάδειξη μιας ηρωικής προσωπικότητας που θα μπορούσε να βγάλει τη Γερμανία από αυτήν την κατάσταση, ήταν απαραίτητη. Η άνοδος του αυστριακού Χίτλερ βοήθησε να εδραιωθεί ο ναζισμός στη Γερμανία. Η αμφιλεγόμενη προσωπικότητά του διαμορφώθηκε από τα στοιχεία του χαρακτήρα του, αλλά και με τη βοήθεια των τάξεων της ελίτ. Μετά το πραξικόπημα του 1923 και την αποτυχημένη προσπάθειά του για ανατροπή της Δημοκρατίας της Βαϊμάρης, αποκαλύφθηκαν τόσο στο Χίτλερ όσο και το ναζιστικό κόμμα οι περιορισμοί του κινήματός τους. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη το παρελθόν, ο Χίτλερ κατάφερε να βρει τον τρόπο να κερδίσει την εξουσία. Η οικονομική κρίση του 1929, παράλληλα με την πολιτική και ιδεολογική κρίση, αλλά και η χρήση του κατευνασμού από τις νικητήριες δυνάμεις του Α’ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου, του έδωσαν το κατάλληλο έναυσμα για να μπορέσει να ανέβει στην εξουσία. Μετά την ανάληψη της εξουσίας μέσω δημοκρατικών μέσων, ο Χίτλερ, χρησιμοποίησε την εξουσία του προκειμένου να εδραιώσει το ολοκληρωτικό του καθεστώς.

description: Afterwards is my third published work of fiction, and came out in hardback from William Heinemann in February 2007. My intention had been to submit the manuscript as a PhD thesis, with an accompanying essay on the research process. However, since the publication of Afterwards has preceded my submission, and since the umbrella term for PhD studies such as mine is 'Creative Practice', I decided my dissertation would focus on the process by which Afterwards came into being: the writing and the editorial process which took it from draft through proof to publication and review. The first and longest section is an early draft of around 50,000 words. Then comes an essay detailing why this preliminary version of the story had to change, how editorial feedback shaped the new direction I took, and reflecting upon the critical reception of the novel. Finally, this essay has eight appendices comprising scenes in progress, exchanges with editors, reviews, and my own appraisal of drafts as they were produced. The hardback volume is attached to this submission, and the following pages provide the context for its production.

However, Conti (in Willdenowia 28: 47. 1998) rejected this choice on the grounds of conflict with the protologue, the specimen being labelled “Oriente”, probably from Turkey, and almost certainly belonging to a different taxon.

description: The Drell-Hearn-Gerasimov sum-rule is really two sum-rules: one for each of the valence and the sea/glue contributions to the nucleon wavefunction. The convergence of these sum-rules follows from the Froissart bound for spin dependent processes in QCD and is necessary for the consistency of the constituent quark model of low energy QCD. Some challenges for future polarised photoproduction experiments, for example at ELFE, are discussed.

description: A R-parity breaking SUSY model characterized by an effective bilinear violation with only $τ$-lepton number breaking in the superpotential is outlined. The CP-odd Higgs boson masses and those of charged Higgs bosons are discussed. In the model, several interesting mass mixings else such as the mixing between $τ$ lepton and charginos etc in the model are discussed too. Being one of example, we have computed the mixing production $e^{+} e^{-} \to τ^{\mp} \tildeκ^{\pm}_{i} (i=1,2)$ in e^+ e^- colliders, where $τ^{\mp}, \tildeκ^{\pm}_{i}(i=1,2)$ denote the physical $τ$ lepton and charginos.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: The Dairy Products Laboratory, Eastern Utilization Research and Development Division (EURDD), Agricultural Research Service, has been carrying out research to develop a dry whole milk powder that is manufactured by a foam spray-dry process and that reconstitutes to milk of beverage quality. Sufficient research had been carried out to establish the packaging and storage conditions necessary for commercial use of the foam spray-dried whole milk powder if it is distributed under refrigeration. The dry whole milk had been tested by both trained and untrained taste panels within the Department. Both groups found the product acceptable and comparable to fresh whole milk. Therefore, the developers were interested in consumers’ reactions to the flavor, the residual surface foam on the reconstituted milk, and the time and effort required to reconstitute the milk product. The findings reported on here are based upon personal interviews with 327 homemakers selected by area probability sampling procedures in the incorporated city of Alexandria, Va. , during the fall of 1965. Only private households were selected. As in all surveys where a sample is interviewed rather than the total population, the findings are subject to sampling error. A description of the sample design, sampling method, and sampling tolerances appears at the end of this report.

description: For any surface $Σ$ of infinite topological type, we study the Torelli subgroup ${\mathcal I}(Σ)$ of the mapping class group ${\rm MCG}(Σ)$, whose elements are those mapping classes that act trivially on the homology of $Σ$. Our first result asserts that ${\mathcal I}(Σ)$ is topologically generated by the subgroup of ${\rm MCG}(Σ)$ consisting of those elements in the Torelli group which have compact support. In particular, using results of Birman, Powell, and Putman we deduce that ${\mathcal I}(Σ)$ is topologically generated by separating twists and bounding pair maps. Next, we prove the abstract commensurator group of ${\mathcal I}(Σ)$ coincides with ${\rm MCG}(Σ)$. This extends the results for finite-type surfaces of Farb-Ivanov, Brendle-Margalit and KIda to the setting of infinite-type surfaces.

description: We investigate the relation between on-shell and zero-momentum non-perturbative quantities entering the parametrization of the two-point Green's function of two-dimensional non-linear O(N) sigma models. We present accurate estimates of ratios of mass-scales and renormalization constants, obtained by an analysis of the strong-coupling expansion of the two-point Green's function. These ratios allow to connect exact known on-shell results with typical zero-momentum lattice evaluations. Our results are supported by the 1/N-expansion.

description: Στη σύγχρονη εποχή ένα από τα πιο σημαντικότερα ζητήματα που απασχολούν την διεθνή κοινότητα, είναι εμφάνιση πολλαπλών υβριδικών επιθέσεων από ασύμμετρες απειλές σε ευαίσθητους τομείς που αφορούν στην ασφάλεια και τις κρίσιμες υποδομές ενός Κράτους ειδικότερα αυτές που πηγάζουν μέσα από τη χρήση των μη επανδρωμένων οχημάτων στην καθημερινή ζωή. Με την εξέλιξη της τεχνολογίας αντιλαμβάνεται κανείς πως ο ρόλος των μη επανδρωμένων οχημάτων είναι διπλός. Αφενός, λόγω της ερασιτεχνικής τους χρήσης με αυξανόμενο αριθμό ανθρώπων που επιλέγουν ως δημιουργική δραστηριότητα την δυνατότητα που τους προσφέρεται για θεαματικές εναέριες λήψεις. Αφετέρου, αποτελούν το σημείο αναφοράς για την έναρξη μιας νέας τεχνολογικά εξαρτημένης εποχής, όπου πλέον κρίνεται η ασφάλεια της κοινωνίας. Είναι έκδηλο, ότι στρατιωτικά μη επανδρωμένα οχήματα, χρησιμοποιούνται ακόμη και σε καιρό ειρήνης για σκοπούς επιτήρησης, ανίχνευσης και συλλογής πληροφορίων. Ενώ είναι απόλυτα απτό, ότι εν καιρώ πολέμου η χρήση τους πέραν των όσων αναφέρονται άνωθεν, περιλαμβάνει επιπλέον και την εξάλειψη διαφόρων στρατηγικών στόχων. Στο διεθνές επίπεδο, υπάρχει πλήθος γεγονότων όπου τα μη επανδρωμένα οχήματα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν τόσο για την καταπολέμηση της παγκόσμιας τρομοκρατίας, όσο και για την καταστολή ενός αντίπαλου μέρους, είτε και για την εξολόθρευση ενός εχθρού. Από τον Α’ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο έως και σήμερα οι ΗΠΑ, έδειξαν το μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον τους για την τεχνολογική ανάπτυξη και εξέλιξη τέτοιων οχημάτων τόσο για τη χρήση τους σε εμπόλεμες συρράξεις όσο και στην αντιμετώπιση τρομοκρατικών ενεργειών στο βωμό της ασφάλειας της ανθρωπότητας. Αυτό δεν έμεινε απαρατήρητο και από άλλες χώρες, όπως η Βρετανία, το Ισραήλ, την Κίνα, τη Ρωσία και τη γείτονα Τουρκία.

description: The system decomposition theory has recently been developed for the dynamic analysis of nonlinear compartmental systems. The application of this theory to the ecosystem analysis has also been introduced in a separate article. Based on this methodology, multiple new dynamic ecological system measures and indices of matrix, vector, and scalar types are systematically introduced in the present paper. These mathematical system analysis tools are quantitative ecological indicators that monitor the flow distribution and storage organization, quantify the direct, indirect, acyclic, cycling, and transfer (diact) effects and utilities of one compartment on another, identify the system efficiencies and stress, measure the compartmental exposures to system flows, determine the residence times and compartmental activity levels, and ascertain the system resilience and resistance in the case of disturbances. The proposed dynamic system measures and indices, thus, extract detailed information about ecosystems' characteristics, as well as their functions, properties, behaviors, and various other system attributes that are potentially hidden in and even obscured by data. A dynamic technique for the quantitative characterization and classification of main interspecific interactions and the determination of their strength within food webs is also developed based on the diact effect and utility indices. Moreover, major concepts and quantities in the current static network analyses are also extended to nonlinear dynamic settings and integrated with the proposed dynamic measures and indices in this unifying mathematical framework. We consider that the proposed methodology brings a novel complex system theory to the service of urgent and challenging environmental problems of the day and has the potential to lead the way to a more formalistic ecological science.

Decay of high-density matter in the electroweak theory

description: High-density fermion matter is meta-stable due to the anomalous non-conservation of baryon and lepton numbers in the electroweak theory. The meta-stable state decays by penetrating the sphaleron barrier separating topologically different vacua. The decay happens locally, and results in an annihilation of twelve fermions, accompanied by a production of gauge and Higgs bosons. We find numerically local bounce solutions determining the decay rate, which are classical paths in imaginary time, connecting two adjacent topological sectors. We also follow the real-time evolution of the bosonic fields after the tunneling and analyze the spectrum of the created bosons.

description: A surprising feature of the Kerr metric is the anisotropy of the speed of light. The angular momentum of a rotating massive object causes co- and counter-propagating light paths to move at faster and slower velocities, respectively as determined by a far-away clock. Based on this effect we derive ultimate quantum limits for the measurement of the Kerr rotation parameter $a$ using a interferometric set up. As a possible implementation, we propose a Mach-Zehnder interferometer to measure the "one-way height differential" time effect. We isolate the effect by calibrating to a dark port and rotating the interferometer such that only the direction dependent Kerr-metric induced phase term remains. We transform to the Zero Angular Momentum Observer (ZAMO) flat metric where the observer see $c=1$. We use this metric and the Lorentz transformations to calculate the same Kerr phase shift. We then consider non-stationary observers moving with the planet's rotation, and find a method for cancelling the additional phase from the classical relative motion, thus leaving only the curvature induced phase.

description: Two kinds of configurations involving steps on surfaces are reviewed. The first one results from an initially planar vicinal surface, i.e. slightly deviating from a high-symmetry (001) or (111) orientation. In some cases, these surfaces separate into domains of different orientations by a mechanism which is very similar to phase separation in mixtures. The domain size initially increases with time and goes to a finite limit, whose value is related to elastic phenomena. The second kind of configurations results from making grooves in a high-symmetry surface. The surface smoothes out and takes an intermediate shape with facet-like hills and valleys, which are the source of a controversy which we try to clarify as much as possible.

description: We show that instanton effects may play a crucial role in the decay of scalar mesons into two pseudoscalars. Particularly the branching ratios of two meson decays of the $f_0(1500)$, which is considered as a glue-ball candidate, are then compatible with an ordinary $q \bar{q}$-structure of this resonance and a small positive SU(3) mixing angle, close to a result recently calculated with the same instanton-induced force.
