description: Abstract: Recent scholarship has acknowledged the contribution of the environmental activist and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Wangari Maathai (1940–2011), to African ecological and decolonial thinking. As far as Maathai’s engagement with religion is concerned, scholarship emphasises her critique of Christianity for its links to colonialism and environmental degradation, and foregrounds her reclaiming of Kikuyu religion and culture as a form of indigenous African knowledge that enhances environmental awareness. However, Maathai’s simultaneous creative and constructive engagement with Christian traditions, in particular the Bible, tends to be systematically overlooked, perhaps because it seems at odds with her status as a decolonial thinker. This article examines Maathai’s engagement with the Bible, arguing that it presents an interrogation of the category of indigenous knowledge, which for her is not static but dynamic and can incorporate biblical scripture as an African knowledge. Hence, Maathai challenges scholars to take the Bible seriously as a relevant resource for environmental activism as well as for ecological and decolonial thought.

description: We compute the mixing rate of a non-backtracking random walk on a regular expander. Using some properties of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, we show that this rate may be up to twice as fast as the mixing rate of the simple random walk. The closer the expander is to a Ramanujan graph, the higher the ratio between the above two mixing rates is. As an application, we show that if $G$ is a high-girth regular expander on $n$ vertices, then a typical non-backtracking random walk of length $n$ on $G$ does not visit a vertex more than $(1+o(1))\frac{\log n}{\log\log n}$ times, and this result is tight. In this sense, the multi-set of visited vertices is analogous to the result of throwing $n$ balls to $n$ bins uniformly, in contrast to the simple random walk on $G$, which almost surely visits some vertex $Ω(\log n)$ times.

description: Entropy-based measures are an important tool for studying human gaze behavior under various conditions. In particular, gaze transition entropy (GTE) is a popular method to quantify the predictability of fixation transitions. However, GTE does not account for temporal dependencies beyond two consecutive fixations and may thus underestimate a scanpath's actual predictability. Instead, we propose to quantify scanpath predictability by estimating the active information storage (AIS), which can account for dependencies spanning multiple fixations. AIS is calculated as the mutual information between a processes' multivariate past state and its next value. It is thus able to measure how much information a sequence of past fixations provides about the next fixation, hence covering a longer temporal horizon. Applying the proposed approach, we were able to distinguish between induced observer states based on estimated AIS, providing first evidence that AIS may be used in the inference of user states to improve human-machine interaction.

description: Static corrosion tests were conducted on two model glasses with the following composition (in mol%): 75 SiO2, 15 Na2O, 10 CaO and 75 SiO2, 15 Na2O, 10 MgO. The tests were performed in deionized water at 80 °C. Glass grains were combined with a monolithic sample in one reacdon vessel to achieve sufficient elemental release and to provide a monolithic sample for analysis. Vapor hydration tests (VHT) were performed on monolithic samples at 200 °C. Solution composition was analyzed with atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), depth profiles of all elements in the surface layers of monolithic samples were analyzed with secondary neutral mass spectrometry (SNMS), and both monolithic and crushed samples were analyzed with scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM/EDS). Solution compositions and saturation indexes of secondary minerals were modeled with the geochemical code PHREEQC version 2.41 using LLNL database. The results showed that the sodium diffusion profiles in the surface layers of the glasses were established during the first few hours of the test. Both glasses showed that the dissolution rate depends on the chemical affinity for dissolution between the surface gel layer and the corrosion solution. Α glass alteration model based on transition state theory taking into account solution chemistry and precipitation of secondary alteration products is presented.

description: The existence, creation and modification of compositional heterogeneities within the Earth's upper mantle and their influences on the petrogenesis of primitive magmas have been highly debated for decades. The possible origins of mantle heterogeneities within the Earth's peridotite-dominated mantle are numerous and complex. One major mechanism invokes an important role for recycling of oceanic crust at subduction zones, and the storage of these recycled mafic (and sedimentary) materials in the deep mantle, before it is thought to be incorporated in the adiabatically upwelling upper mantle sources of some primitive mantle-derived magmas. This data is then combined with the results of earlier experimental investigations to constrain the complex melting behaviours of (residual) eclogite bodies in upwelling mantle, the nature of the interactions of their partial melts with ambient peridotitic mantle, and the nature of re-melting of such metasomatised mantle assemblages, and a brief evaluation of the contributions of these processes to the genesis of some primitive mantle-derived magmas. This study highlights that mantle heterogeneites caused by upwelling of subducted oceanic crust and its residues 'breed' an infinite number of various heterogeneities, ranging from Si02-oversaturated to Si02-undersaturated. To assess the influence of recycled oceanic crust on the creation of mantle heterogeneities and on the petrogenesis of primitive magmas in homogeneous, buoyant, upwelling peridotite-dominated mantle, high pressure experimental investigations of the melting behaviour of subducted oceanic crust and its residues will be presented. I track a sequential process in which melts are redistributed from the (initially) low temperature melting of average oceanic crust (Spandler et al., 2008), and then from the residues (nominally anhydrous eclogitic compositions) of such subducted oceanic crust (Res2 and REC, this study). This study establishes the phase and melting relations and compositions of reasonable melting residues, which are themselves derived directly from subducted oceanic crust at high pressures and temperatures (GA2; Spandler et al., 2008). In particular, this study has systematically determined the solidus temperatures, phase relations, and partial melt compositions xv during upwelling of both, a residual quartz/coesite-bearing eclogite (Res2) and a residual quartz/coesite-free eclogite (REC) from 5 to 3 GPa and 1500-1200{u00B0}C.

description: We investigate the collapse of an axisymmetric cavity or bubble inside a fluid of small viscosity, like water. Any effects of the gas inside the cavity as well as of the fluid viscosity are neglected. Using a slender-body description, we show that the minimum radius of the cavity scales like $h_0 \propto t'^α$, where $t'$ is the time from collapse. The exponent $α$ very slowly approaches a universal value according to $α=1/2 + 1/(4\sqrt{-\ln(t')})$. Thus, as observed in a number of recent experiments, the scaling can easily be interpreted as evidence of a single non-trivial scaling exponent. Our predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations.

description: Developing compact, low-dissipation, cryogenic-compatible microwave electronics is essential for scaling up low-temperature quantum computing systems. In this paper, we demonstrate an ultra-compact microwave directional forward coupler based on high-impedance slow-wave superconducting-nanowire transmission lines. The coupling section of the fabricated device has a footprint of $416\,\mathrm{μm^2}$. At 4.753 GHz, the input signal couples equally to the through port and forward-coupling port (50:50) at $-6.7\,\mathrm{dB}$ with $-13.5\,\mathrm{dB}$ isolation. The coupling ratio can be controlled with DC bias current or temperature by exploiting the dependence of the kinetic inductance on these quantities. The material and fabrication-process are suitable for direct integration with superconducting circuits, providing a practical solution to the signal distribution bottlenecks in developing large-scale quantum computers.

description: During forming, glass to mould contact temperatures are the significant factor for the final glass surface quality. For a good characterization of this contact condition the heat transfer by conduction and radiation needs to be described in detail. Α laboratory testing unit was set up to investigate the influence of radiation emitted by different glass composidons and the influence of different mould materials used during forming. To support the experimental results, heat transfer conditions and temperatures were modelled at given boundary conditions using the CFD-Code FLUENT software program applying discrete models. Measurement and modelling results show that the radiation influence on heat transfer is strongly dependent on the spectral absorption coefficient of the glass which affects heat flux densities and surface temperatures. Results show up to 15 % higher heat flux density for amber glass compared to flint glass. In addition, internal glass temperature distributions are strongly affected. If glass throughput, type of forming tools and mould cooling settings are carefully adapted to the optical characteristics of the glass, an optimal surface quality and physical strength can be achieved, which may lead to significant economic benefits. Due to the complex interactions of the parameters which influence glass to mould heat transfer mathematical modelling proves to be essential for future developments in forming technology.

description: We study a gravitational model in which scale transformations play the key role in obtaining dynamical $G$ and $Λ$. We take a scale non-invariant gravitational action with a cosmological constant and a gravitational coupling constant. Then, by a scale transformation, through a dilaton field, we obtain a new action containing cosmological and gravitational coupling terms which are dynamically dependent on the dilaton field with Higgs type potential. The vacuum expectation value of this dilaton field, through spontaneous symmetry breaking on the basis of anthropic principle, determines the time variations of $G$ and $Λ$. The relevance of these time variations to the current acceleration of the universe, coincidence problem, Mach's cosmological coincidence and those problems of standard cosmology addressed by inflationary models, are discussed. The current acceleration of the universe is shown to be a result of phase transition from radiation toward matter dominated eras. No real coincidence problem between matter and vacuum energy densities exists in this model and this apparent coincidence together with Mach's cosmological coincidence are shown to be simple consequences of a new kind of scale factor dependence of the energy momentum density as $ρ\sim a^{-4}$. This model also provides the possibility for a super fast expansion of the scale factor at very early universe by introducing exotic type matter like cosmic strings.

description: "Motivated by theoretical considerations of damped vibrations of dislocations and the need to better constrain global attenuation models, a laboratory study was undertaken of the attenuation of seismic waves and associated shear modulus dispersion in upper mantle olivine, (Mg{u2080}.{u2089},Fe{u2080}.{u2081}){u2082}SiO{u2084}. Polycrystalline olivine specimens were synthesised from laboratory (solution-gelation) and natural (San Carlos) precursors, hot-pressed and pre-deformed in the laboratory under high temperature.. and pressure (300 MPa). Compressive deformation experiments were performed for differential stresses up to 290 MPa and 22 % stsrain in the dislocation creep regime of olivine..... The observed relationship between dislocation-related dissipation and the orientation of the stress field during prior deformation suggests the possibility of seismological attenuation anisotropy. If dislocation damping is not grain size sensitive, then its operation in coarser-grained upper mantle olivine may contribute signigicantly to attenuation (Q{u207B}{u00B9} ~ 10{u207B}{u00B2}), especially in regions with relatively high levels of prevailing tectonic stress."--P. ix.

description: A fundamental result in modern quantum chaos theory is the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford upper bound on the growth of out-of-time-order correlators, whose infinite-temperature limit is related to the operator-space entanglement entropy of the evolution operator. Here we show that, for one-dimensional quantum cellular automata (QCA), there exists a lower bound on quantum chaos quantified by such entanglement entropy. This lower bound is equal to twice the index of the QCA, which is a topological invariant that measures the chirality of information flow, and holds for all the Rényi entropies, with its strongest Rényi-$\infty$ version being tight. The rigorous bound rules out the possibility of any sublinear entanglement growth behavior, showing in particular that many-body localization is forbidden for unitary evolutions displaying nonzero index. Since the Rényi entropy is measurable, our findings have direct experimental relevance. Our result is robust against exponential tails which naturally appear in quantum dynamics generated by local Hamiltonians.

description: Genus Appendisotoma Stach, 1947
Here we follow the characterization of the genus proposed formerly by Christiansen & Bellinger (1998) and complemented by Potapov et al. (2013). Due to fusion of the two last abdominal segments, the latter diagnosis corresponds to Cryptopygus -complex of genera, completed with the following characters:
- S-chaetae placed in posterior position on body tergites (although the character is unknown for the most North American species)
- mucro with 3 or more teeth
- at least 6+6 ocelli
- chaetae on anterior side of manubrium present
More reliable diagnosis of the genus is impossible so far because of the poor knowledge of morphology of the American species. The following characters are variable: number of s-chaetae on body tergites, apical whorl on tibiotarsi with 7 or 11 chaetae, presence/absence of apical lobe on dens, presence/absence of anal spines (often occur among North American species), and length of furca. The genus appears to be an odd member among the genera of the Cryptopygus -complex (Potapov et al. 2013) and might be closely related to Proisotoma s. str. belonging to the Proisotoma -complex (see the Ecological and taxonomic value of cyclomorphosis of Appendisotoma part). At least several, if not the most, species of the genus have tibiotarsi with all T-chaetae (apical whorl with 11 chaetae, e.g. Fig. 4), which are highly unusual in subfamily Anurophorinae, and thus indicate a possible relation of Appendisotoma congeners to the subfamily Isotominae. Another typical character of Isotominae is the presence of 4 chaetae on proximal field of labium (Fig. 45) that is shown in A. sibirica and A. absoloni. The differences between all the species of Appendisotom a studied by us are given in Table 1.

description: The blind HI survey Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey (AGES) detected several unresolved sources in the Virgo cluster, which do not have optical counterparts in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The origin of these dark clouds is unknown. They might be crucial objects since they could be the so-called dark galaxies, that is, the dark matter halos without stellar content that are expected from cosmological simulations. In order to reveal the nature of the dark clouds, we took a deep optical image of one them, AGESVC1 282, with the newly-commissioned 1.4m Milanković Telescope. After observing it for 10.4h in the $L$-filter, the image reached a surface-brightness limit of about 29.1 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ in $V$. No optical counterpart was detected. We placed an upper limit on the $V$-band luminosity of the object of $1.1\times10^7\,L_\odot$, giving a stellar mass below $1.4\times10^7\,M_\odot$ and a HI-to-stellar mass ratio above 3.1. By inspecting archival HI observations of the surrounding region, we found that none of the standard explanations for optically dark HI clouds fits the available constraints on this object.

description: Absorption spectra were recorded from a glass with the basic composition 16Na2O ∙ 10CaO ∙ 74SiO2 doped with 4 wt% Nd2O3 at temperatures in the range from 25 to 1400°C. The effective width of the observed absorption peaks increased with increasing temperature, while the peak positions remained nearly constant. Some absorption coefficients decreased with temperature while that at a wavelength of 657 nm increased notably. Emission spectra were recorded from glass melts exhibiting a temperature gradient at the surface (cold surface). The spectra showed distinguished minima at those wavelengths where the absorption maxima occurred. Numerical simulation of the emission spectra assuming a constant temperature gradient at the surface is in agreement with the experimental spectra.

description: Distributed data analysis without revealing the individual data has recently attracted significant attention in several applications. A collaborative data analysis through sharing dimensionality reduced representations of data has been proposed as a non-model sharing-type federated learning. This paper analyzes the accuracy and privacy evaluations of this novel framework. In the accuracy analysis, we provided sufficient conditions for the equivalence of the collaborative data analysis and the centralized analysis with dimensionality reduction. In the privacy analysis, we proved that collaborative users' private datasets are protected with a double privacy layer against insider and external attacking scenarios.

description: The presented review has been devoted to the problem of volume-determined properties relaxation of siicate glasses at room temperature. It is shown that the experimental data are described by the simple Debye exponential law or by a superposition of two exponents. Their parameters are calculated and systematized. Α molecular-kinetic model is proposed for these ageing processes. It proceeds from the possibility of volume relaxation due to the cooperative β-relaxation mechanism with no change in the system's topology. The characteristic ageing times can be calculated according to equations obtained based on the viscosity data in the glass transition range. The precision of the calculations is about ± 15 % at the time variations from a few weeks up to about 15 years. The system of calculated parameters is proposed which characterizes the completeness of ageing and its rate at any glass age. Optical and thermometric glasses have been ranked by their tendency to ageing. The scheme of future investigations predetermined by practice is defined.

description: Let $\mathcal{DZ}_k$ be the $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space spanned by double zeta values with weight $k$, and $\mathcal{DM}_k$ be its quotient space divided by the space $\mathcal{PZ}_k$ spanned by the zeta value $ζ(k)$ and products of two zeta values with total weight $k$. When $k$ is even, an upper bound for the dimension of $\mathcal{DM}_k$ is known. By adding the dimensions of $\mathcal{DM}_k$ and $\mathcal{PZ}_k$, an upper bound of $\mathcal{DZ}_k$ which equals $k/2$ minus the dimension of the space of modular forms of weight $k$ on the modular group is given. In this note, we obtain some specific sets of generators for $\mathcal{DM}_k$ which represent the upper bound. These yield the corresponding sets and the upper bound for $\mathcal{DZ}_k$.

description: Selective heating of a microparticle surface had been observed to cause its autonomous movement in a fluid medium due to self-generated temperature gradients. In this work, we theoretically investigate the response of such an auto-thermophoretic particle near a planar wall which is held isothermal. We derive an exact solution of the energy equation and employ the Reynolds reciprocal theorem to obtain the translational and rotational swimming velocities in the creeping flow limit. Subsequently, we analyse the trajectories of the micromotor for different thermo-physical and configurational parameters. Results show that the micromotor trajectories can be switched either from wall-bound sliding or stationary state to escape from the near-wall zone by suitably choosing the particle and the surrounding fluid pair having selective thermal conductivity contrasts. Further, we discuss the dependency of this swimming-state transition on the launching orientation and the coverage of the metallic cap. Our results reveal that the scenario addressed here holds several exclusive distinguishing features from the otherwise extensively studied self-diffusiophoresis phenomenon near an inert wall, despite obvious analogies in the respective constitutive laws relating the fluxes with the gradients of the concerned forcing parameters. The most contrasting locomotion behaviour here turns out to be the ability of a self-thermophoretic micromotor to migrate towards the wall with large heated cap even if it is initially directed away from the wall. Besides, during the stationary state of swimming, the cold portion on the micromotor surface faces away from the wall, under all conditions. Such unique aspects of locomotion hold the potential of being harnessed in practice towards achieving intricate control over autonomous motion of microparticles in thermally-regulated fluidic environments.

description: We present a catalogue of homogeneous determined chromospheric emission (CE), stellar atmospheric parameters and ages for 1,674 FGK main sequence (MS), subgiant, and giant stars. The analysis of CE level and variability is also performed. We measured CE in the CaII lines using more than 180,000 high-resolution spectra from the HARPS spectrograph, as compiled in the AMBRE project, obtained between 2003 and 2019. We converted the fluxes to bolometric and photospheric corrected chromospheric emission ratio, $R'_\text{HK}$. Stellar atmospheric parameters $T_\text{eff}$, $\log g$, and [Fe/H] were retrieved from the literature or determined using an homogeneous method. $M_\star$, $R_\star$, and ages were determined from isochrone fitting. We analysed the CE distribution for the different luminosity classes and spectral types and confirmed the existence of the very inactive stars (VIS) and very active stars (VAS) populations at $\log R'_\text{HK}< -5.1$ and $> -4.2$ dex, respectively. We found indications that the VIS population is composed mainly of subgiant and giant stars and that $\log R'_\text{HK}= -5.1$ dex marks a transition in stellar evolution. There appears to be at least three regimes of variability, for inactive, active and very active stars, with the inactive and active regimes separated by a diagonal Vaughan-Preston gap. We show that stars with low activity levels do not necessarily have low variability. In the case of K dwarfs which show high CE variability, inactive and active stars have similar levels of activity variability. This means that activity levels alone are not enough to infer about the activity variability of a star. We also explained the shape of the VP gap observed in the distribution of CE by using the CE variability-level diagram. In the CE variability-level diagram, the Sun is located in the high variability region of the inactive MS stars zone. (Abridged)

description: Glasses with the basic composition 16Na2O - 10CaO - 74SiO2 doped with iron or with both iron and arsenic were studied by means of high-temperature UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. Increasing temperatures led to a shift of the UV absorption edge caused by Fe3+ -charge transfer bands to larger wavelengths. All other bands, especially the Fe2+ absorption band at around 1100 nm, decreased in intensity at higher temperatures. For glasses, solely doped with iron, the temperature dependency of the extinction coefficient was quantitatively determined. Glasses doped with both arsenic and iron showed a different behaviour: the intensity of the bands decreased up to a temperature of 600 to 650 °C and then increased again. This can be explained by the temperature-dependent redox reaction 2Fe3+ + As3+ ⇌ 2Fe2+ + As5+. Increasing temperatures lead to a shift of the reaction to the right. This reaction is in equilibrium at temperatures > 650 °C and gets frozen in at smaller temperatures, depending on the respective iron and arsenic concentrations. The latter is explained by a numerical simulation assuming the redox reactions to be controlled by diffusion.

Η ιστορία και εξέλιξη ενός αξιώματος στην Αρχαία Ελλάδα", μελετά τον θεσμό του παιδονόμου στην διαχρονική του εξέλιξη μέσα από την αναλυτική παρουσίαση των περιορισμένων διαθέσιμων γραμματειακών πηγών και της επιγραφικής παράδοσης. Αξιοποιώντας το υλικό αυτό και παράλληλα λαμβάνοντας υπόψη την υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία σχετικά με την εκπαίδευση των ελληνικών πόλεων επιδιώκει αφενός να περιγράψει τις αρμοδιότητες του παιδονόμου και τη σχέση του με την δημόσια εκπαίδευση των πόλεων που διέθεταν τέτοια και αφετέρου να μελετήσει δευτερεύουσες πτυχές του θεσμού, όπως π.χ. η κοινωνική προέλευση των παιδονόμων. Οπως φαίνεται από τους επιδιωκόμενους στόχους η παρούσα εργασία αποσκοπεί να δώσει μια ολοκληρωμένη εικόνα του θεσμού του παιδονόμου αλλά και να αποτελέσει μια μικρή συμβολή στην μελέτη της ιστορίας της εκπαίδευσης κατά την αρχαιότητα.

description: The influence of different modifying cations on the radiation-induced defect generation in metaphosphate glasses was studied by optical absorption and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. For this task, several model glasses were prepared. These were simple metaphosphates of alkaline earths, aluminum and zinc. The synthesized glass samples were irradiated with X-rays and with UV light from an Xe/Hg lamp. The cation-dependent differences in the structure of the phosphate glasses were found to have a great influence on the concentration of some radiation-induced defects and thus on the optical absorption. The influence of the different cations became especially distinct under UV light Irradiation due to the selective interaction of the UV light with the glass samples. Some additional phenomena were observed for the irradiated zinc and magnesium metaphosphate glasses which were not found by the previously undertaken study of complex phosphate glasses.
Two modes of carbonaceous dust alignment

description: Radiative Torques (RATs) or Mechanical Torques (METs) acting on irregular grains can induce the alignment of dust grains in respect to the alignment axis (AA), which can be either the direction of the magnetic field, or the direction of the radiation. We show that carbonaceous grains can be aligned with their axes both parallel and perpendicular to the AA and we explore the conditions where the particular mode of alignment takes place. We identify a new process of alignment of charged carbonaceous grains in a turbulent magnetized interstellar medium with respect to an electric field. This field acts on grains accelerated in a turbulent medium and gyro-rotating about a magnetic field. The electric field can also arise from the temporal variations of magnetic field strength in turbulent compressible media. The direction of the electric field is perpendicular to a magnetic field and the carbonaceous grains precess in the electric field because of their electric moments. If this precession is faster than Larmor precession in the magnetic field, the alignment of such grains is with their long axes parallel to magnetic field. We explore the parameter space for which the new mechanism aligns grains with long axes parallel to the magnetic field. We compare this mechanism with another process that provides the same type of alignment, namely, the RAT alignment of grains with insufficiently fast internal relaxation. We describe the conditions for which the particular mode of carbonaceous grain alignment is realized and discuss what information can be obtained by measuring the resulting polarization.
