description: We show that it is possible to associate univocally with each given solution of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation a particular phase flow ("quantum flow") of a non-autonomous dynamical system. This fact allows us to introduce a definition of chaos in quantum dynamics (quantum chaos), which is based on the classical theory of chaos in dynamical systems. In such a way we can introduce quantities which may be appelled "Quantum Lyapunov Exponents". Our approach applies to a non-relativistic quantum-mechanical system of n charged particles; in the present work numerical calculations are performed only for the hydrogen atom. In the computation of the trajectories we first neglect the spin contribution to chaos, then we consider the spin effects in quantum chaos. We show how the quantum Lyapunov exponents can be evaluated and give several numerical results which describe some properties found in the present approach. Although the system is very simple and the classical counterpart is regular, the most non-stationary solutions of the corresponding Schroeodinger equation are "chaotic" according to our definition.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία επιχειρεί να διερευνήσει την ιστορική παρουσία και σημασία της Επισκοπής Αρδαμερίου και βασίζεται στη μελέτη αρχειακού υλικού από τα τέλη του 19ου και τις αρχές του 20ου αιώνα που βρίσκεται στο Ιστορικό αρχείο Μακεδονίας. Στην εισαγωγή γίνεται αναφορά στο σύνολο του αρχείου που έχει διασωθεί σχετικά με την Επισκοπή και επιχειρείται να σκιαγραφηθεί το γενικό ιστορικό πλαίσιο της εποχής εκείνης. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο διερευνώνται η πορεία της Επισκοπής Αρδαμερίου, από τη στιγμή που αναφέρεται σε γραπτά κείμενα έως την ενσωμάτωσή της στη Μητρόπολη Ιερισσού, Αγίου Όρους και Αρδαμερίου, και κάποια στοιχεία που τη χαρακτηρίζουν, όπως η έδρα, ο πληθυσμός, οι αρχιερείς που υπηρέτησαν εκεί και οι ναοί που αναγέρθηκαν. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο αναλύεται το ζήτημα της Παιδείας και η συμβολή της Επισκοπής στην ίδρυση και τη λειτουργία σχολείων κατά τη συγκεκριμένη περίοδο. Στο τρίτο και τελευταίο αναδεικνύεται ο κοινωνικός ρόλος που κλήθηκε να διαδραματίσει η επισκοπή, καθώς τα προβλήματα που αντιμετώπιζε το ποίμνιο ήταν πολλά, όπως φαίνεται μέσα από τα πρακτικά του Επισκοπικού δικαστηρίου.
description: The present thesis intends to examine the historical presence and importance of Episcopi of Ardameri and it is based on the study of the archive of the 19th and 20th century that is found at the Historical Archive of Macedonia. The introductory part exposes the collected body of the evidence related to the Episcopi that has survived and outlines the general historical framework of that period. The first chapter examines the course of Episcopi of Ardameri from the time it is referred in written documents until its integration with Mitropoli of Ierissos, Agio Oros and Ardameri and some data which characterize the Episcopi such as its home, population, the bishops who served there and the churches which were erected. The second chapter refers to the topic of Education and on the contribution of Episcopi to the foundation and function of the school during that particular period. The third and last chapter accents the social role that the Episcopi had to play, since the problems that concerned the flock were huge, as is indicated by the conference proceedings of the Episcopic Court.
Αναπαραστάσεις του Δημοσιογράφου-Ερευνητή στο Σύγχρονο, Ελληνικό και Αγγλόφωνο, Αστυνομικό Μυθιστόρημα

description: Οι αναπαραστάσεις του δημοσιογράφου- ερευνητή στο σύγχρονο ελληνικό και αγγλόφωνο αστυνομικό μυθιστόρημα αποτελούν το θέμα της εργασίας αυτής. Ο δημοσιογράφος ως ήρωας ενσάρκωνε έναν έντιμο υπερασπιστή της αλήθειας και ως θύτης μετέρχονταν μέσα –συχνά- αθέμιτα προκειμένου να επιτύχει το στόχο του. Σήμερα, ο ρεπόρτερ της σύγχρονης αστυνομικής λογοτεχνίας αναπαριστάμενος με τρόπο ρεαλιστικότερο, εντοπίζεται ανάμεσα στις δύο προηγούμενες αναπαραστάσεις. Στα μυθιστορήματα που αναλύονται εδώ παρουσιάζεται ως μια σύνθετη, υβριδική διασταύρωση δύο κόσμων, του θετικού και του αρνητικού, η δικαίωση της οποίας προκύπτει από τον ίδιο τον αναγνώστη. Έτσι, η φιγούρα του γίνεται πιο πειστική και πιο καθημερινή. Από την εργασία αυτή προκύπτει ότι οι συμβατικές και στερεοτυπικές αναπαραστάσεις των μυθοπλαστικών δημοσιογράφων δεν μπορεί -παρά το στοιχείο της λογοτεχνικής υπερβολής- να αντανακλούν αναπαραστάσεις του δημοσιογραφικού κόσμου όπως αυτές έχουν εδραιωθεί στην εκτός μυθοπλασίας πραγματικότητα. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό η πιο δημοφιλής κατηγορία είναι εκείνη του ρεπόρτερ-ντετέκτιβ. Ωστόσο, η φιγούρα του δημοσιογράφου έρχεται να αντικαταστήσει ακόμα και τον ντετέκτιβ, καθώς ο δημοσιογράφος -πέρα από την περιέργειά του- διαθέτει με βάση τα κλισέ που υπάρχουν και το δαιμόνιο του ντετέκτιβ.
description: The representations of the journalist-researcher in modern Greek and English detective story are the subject of this work. The journalist as a hero embodied an honest defender of truth and as perpetrator employs usually unfair means in order to achieve his/her goal. Today, the reporter of modern crime fiction device illustrated with realistic manner, is located between the two previous representations. In novels analyzed here journalist is represented as a complex, hybrid crossing of two worlds, the positive and the negative, the vindication of which arises from the reader itself. Thus, the journalist becomes more convincing and more everyday figure. This work demonstrates that conventional and stereotypical representations of fictional journalists cannot, despite the element of literary exaggeration- reflect representations of the journalistic world as they are established outside the fictional reality. In this context, the most popular category is that of the reporter-detective. However, the figure of the journalist is to replace even the detective, since the journalist -besides the curiosity – he /she has also another clichés, the acumen of the detective.
On transport in quantum Hall systems with constrictions

description: Motivated by recent experimental findings, we study transport in a simple phenomenological model of a quantum Hall edge system with a gate-voltage controlled constriction lowering the local filling factor. The current backscattered from the constriction is seen to arise from the matching of the properties of the edge-current excitations in the constriction ($ν_{2}$) and bulk ($ν_{1}$) regions. We develop a hydrodynamic theory for bosonic edge modes inspired by this model, finding that a competition between two tunneling process, related by a quasiparticle-quasihole symmetry, determines the fate of the low-bias transmission conductance. In this way, we find satisfactory explanations for many recent puzzling experimental results.

Η μέθοδος πολυμερισμού που επιλέχθηκε είναι ο in situ πολυμερισμός μάζας• με την παρούσα τεχνική επιτυγχάνεται ομοιόμορφη διασπορά των νανοσωματιδίων αργύρου και ομοιογένεια του τελικού προϊόντος. Η κινητική του πολυμερισμού μελετήθηκε μέσω Διαφορικής Θερμιδομετρίας Σάρωσης (Differential Scanning Calorimetry, DSC). Για να επιβεβαιωθεί η παρουσία Ag NPs στο τελικό προϊόν, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν οι μέθοδοι χαρακτηρισμού της περίθλασης ακτίνων Χ (X-Ray Diffraction, XRD) καθώς και της φασματοσκοπίας υπεριώδους-ορατού (UV-Vis Spectroscopy). Η επίδραση των νανοσωματιδίων αργύρου στην πολυμερική μήτρα, μελετήθηκε με τη χρήση της υπέρυθρης φασματοσκοπίας (FTIR). Για τον προσδιορισμό της θερμικής σταθερότητας των υλικών που συντέθηκαν, χρησιμοποιήθηκε η μέθοδος της θερμοσταθμικής ανάλυσης (Thermogravimetric Analysis, TGA). Ακόμα, μελετήθηκαν οι θερμομηχανικές ιδιότητες και προσδιορίστηκε το σημείο υαλώδους μετάβασης Tg για το σύνολο των υλικών που παρήχθησαν, μέσω δυναμικής μηχανικής ανάλυσης (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, DMA).

description: In this thesis, nanocomposites of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were produced using an in-situ bulk radical polymerization technique. The reactants used were 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and silver nitrate (AgNO3). The reduction of Ag+ precursors to Ag NPs took place during the reaction exclusively by the hydroxyl groups present in HEMA monomer. The formation of silver nanoparticles was identified using XRD characteristic peaks and the surface plasmon resonance vibration, from UV-Vis spectra. FTIR spectroscopy was employed in order to investigate the effect that the inclusion of Ag NPs had on the polymer matrix. Moreover, the thermal stability of the nanocomposites was studied with Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Dynamic Mechanic Analysis (DMA) was used in order to determine the thermo-mechanical properties of the materials. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was used for the determination of the polymerization kinetics. Lastly, in vitro tests were conducted in order to investigate the antimicrobial properties of the materials synthesized.
Ray Velocity Derivatives in Anisotropic Elastic Media. Part I -- General Anisotropy

Year: 2021

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present an original, generic, and efficient approach for computing the first and second partial derivatives of ray velocities along ray paths in general anisotropic elastic media. These derivatives are used in solving kinematic problems, like two-point ray bending methods and seismic tomography, and they are essential for evaluating the dynamic properties along the rays (amplitudes and phases). The traveltime is delivered through an integral over a given Lagrangian defined at each point along the ray. Although the Lagrangian cannot be explicitly expressed in terms of the medium properties and the ray direction components, its derivatives can still be formulated analytically using the corresponding arclength-related Hamiltonian that can be explicitly expressed in terms of the medium properties and the slowness vector components. This requires first to invert for the slowness vector components, given the ray direction components. Computation of the slowness vector and the ray velocity derivatives is considerably simplified by using an auxiliary scaled-time-related Hamiltonian obtained directly from the Christoffel equation and connected to the arclength-related Hamiltonian by a simple scale factor. This study consists of two parts. In Part I, we consider general anisotropic (triclinic) media, and provide the derivatives (gradients and Hessians) of the ray velocity, with respect to (1) the spatial/directional vectors and (2) the elastic model parameters. In Part II, we apply the theory of Part I explicitly to polar anisotropic media (transverse isotropy with tilted axis of symmetry, TTI), and obtain the explicit ray velocity derivatives for the coupled qP and qSV waves and for SH waves.

Minimal set of local measurements and classical communication for two-mode Gaussian state entanglement quantification

description: We develop the minimal requirements for the complete entanglement quantification of an arbitrary two-mode bipartite Gaussian state via local measurements and a classical communication channel. The minimal set of measurements is presented as a reconstruction protocol of local covariance matrices and no previous knowledge of the state is required but its Gaussian character. The protocol becomes very simple mostly when dealing with Gaussian states transformed to its standard form, since photocounting/intensity measurements define the whole set of entangled states. In addition, conditioned on some prior information, the protocol is also useful for a complete global state reconstruction.

description: We exploit the Ward-Slavnov-Taylor identity relating the 3-gluons to the ghost-gluon vertices to conclude either that the ghost dressing function is finite and non vanishing at zero momentum while the gluon propagator diverges (although it may do so weakly enough not to be in contradiction with current lattice data) or that the 3-gluons vertex is non-regular when one momentum goes to zero. We stress that those results should be kept in mind when one studies the Infrared properties of the ghost and gluon propagators, for example by means of Dyson-Schwinger equations.

When y and z are close, it is expected that H_1(x,y,z) H(x,y,z), that is, an integer with a divisor in (y,z] usually has just one. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions on y and z so that H_1(x,y,z) H(x,y,z). In doing so, we answer an open question from the paper "The distribution of integers with a divisor in a given interval", math.NT/0401223.

Στην παρούσα εργασία αναλύσαμε τις εφαρμογές της στρατηγικής επικοινωνίας στις σύγχρονες συγκρούσεις και σε περιβάλλον ασύμμετρων απειλών. Είδαμε πως η ψηφιακή εποχή και η άνοδος των τεχνολογιών των τηλεπικοινωνιών και των ΜΜΕ, έδωσαν νέες διαστάσεις σε εφαρμογές της στρατηγικής επικοινωνίας όπως η προπαγάνδα, οι ψυχολογικές επιχειρήσεις και ο πληροφοριακός πόλεμος. Μελετήσαμε πως οι εξτρεμιστές Ισλαμιστές αξιοποιούν τις δυνατότητες που παρέχονται από τα διαδικτυακά μέσα, όπως τα social media και για ποιους σκοπούς. Ερευνήσαμε πως αντιμετωπίζει η δυτική συμμαχία την επικοινωνιακή εκστρατεία του ‘Ισλαμικού Κράτους’ (ISIS). Τέλος αφιερώσαμε λίγα λόγια για τις Ελληνικές Ένοπλες Δυνάμεις και για το πως αντιμετωπίζουν τη νέα αυτή παγκόσμια πρόκληση στον τομέα της στρατηγικής επικοινωνίας.
description: The aim of this thesis was to highlight the importance of strategic communication in modern conflicts and promote the way of her use by an extremist organization, which is adapted to the sophisticated world of networks and modern environment of information and technologies, such as ISIS. In this paper, we analyzed the communication strategy applications in modern conflicts and asymmetric threat environment. We have seen that the digital era and the rise of telecommunications technologies and media have given new dimensions to the strategic communication applications such as propaganda, psychological operations and informational war. We studied how the extremist Islamists exploit the possibilities provided by the online media, including social media and for what purposes. We investigated how the Western alliance faces the communication campaign of the 'Islamic State' (ISIS). Finally, we dedicated a few words about the Greek Armed Forces and how they face this new global challenge in the strategic communications field.

description: We consider the extended Hubbard diamond chain with an arbitrary number of particles driven by chemical potential. The interaction between dimer diamond chain and nodal couplings is considered in the atomic limit (no hopping), while the dimer interaction includes the hopping term. We demonstrate that this model exhibits a pseudo-transition effect in the low-temperature regime. Here, we explore the pseudo-transition rigorously by analyzing several physical quantities. The internal energy and entropy depict sudden, although continuous, jumps which closely resembles discontinuous or first-order phase transition. At the same time, the correlation length and specific heat exhibit astonishing strong sharp peaks, quite similar to a second-order phase transition. We associate the ascending and descending part of the peak with power-law \textquotedbl pseudo-critical\textquotedbl exponents. We determine the pseudo-critical exponents in the temperature range where these peaks are developed, namely $ν=1$ for the correlation length and $α=3$ for the specific heat. We also study the behavior of the electron density and isothermal compressibility around the pseudo-critical temperature.

description: The Two Micron All Sky Survey, along with the Stellar Population Synthesis Model of the Galaxy, developed in Besancon, is used to calculate the extinction distribution along different lines of sight. By combining many lines of sight, the large scale distribution of interstellar material can be deduced. The Galaxy model is used to provide the intrinsic colour of stars and their probable distances, so that the near infrared colour excess, and hence the extinction, may be calculated and its distance evaluated. Such a technique is dependent on the model used, however we are able to show that moderate changes in the model parameters result in insignificant changes in the predicted extinction. This technique has now been applied to over 64000 lines of sight, each separated by 15 arcmin, in the inner Galaxy (|l|<=100 deg, |b|<=10 deg). Using our extinction map, we have derived the main characteristics of the large scale structure of the dust distribution: scale height and warp of the ISM disc as well as the angle of the dust in the Galactic Bar. This resulting extinction map will be useful for studies of the inner Galaxy and its stellar populations.

description: The basic properties of the C-metric are well known. It describes a pair of causally separated black holes which accelerate in opposite directions under the action of forces represented by conical singularities. However, these properties can be demonstrated much more transparently by making use of recently developed coordinate systems for which the metric functions have a simple factor structure. These enable us to obtain explicit Kruskal-Szekeres-type extensions through the horizons and construct two-dimensional conformal Penrose diagrams. We then combine these into a three-dimensional picture which illustrates the global causal structure of the space-time outside the black hole horizons. Using both the weak field limit and some invariant quantities, we give a direct physical interpretation of the parameters which appear in the new form of the metric. For completeness, relations to other familiar coordinate systems are also discussed.

description: We evaluate theoretically the radiative decay widths into $γΛ$ and $γΣ^0$ of the two poles of the $Λ(1405)$ found in chiral unitary theories and we find quite different results for each of the two poles. We show that, depending on which reaction is used to measure the $Λ(1405)$ radiative decays, one gives more weight to one or the other pole, resulting in quite different shapes in the $γΛ(Σ^0)$ invariant mass distributions. Our results for the high-energy pole agree with those of the empirical determination of the $γΛ$ and $γΣ^0$ radiative widths (based on an isobar model fitting of the $K^-p$ atom data), which are sometimes referred to as ``experimental data''. We have made a detailed study of the $K^-p\toπ^0γΛ(Σ^0)$ and $π^-p\to K^0γΛ(Σ^0)$ reactions and have shown that they, indeed, lead to different shapes for the $γΛ(Σ^0)$ invariant mass distributions.

description: A major challenge in the field of correlated electrons is the computation of dynamical correlation functions. For comparisons with experiment, one is interested in their real-frequency dependence. This is difficult to compute, as imaginary-frequency data from the Matsubara formalism require analytic continuation, a numerically ill-posed problem. Here, we apply quantum field theory to the single-impurity Anderson model (AM), using the Keldysh instead of the Matsubara formalism with direct access to the self-energy and dynamical susceptibilities on the real-frequency axis. We present results from the functional renormalization group (fRG) at one-loop level and from solving the self-consistent parquet equations in the parquet approximation. In contrast to previous Keldysh fRG works, we employ a parametrization of the four-point vertex which captures its full dependence on three real-frequency arguments. We compare our results to benchmark data obtained with the numerical renormalization group and to second-order perturbation theory. We find that capturing the full frequency dependence of the four-point vertex significantly improves the fRG results compared to previous implementations, and that solving the parquet equations yields the best agreement with the NRG benchmark data, but is only feasible up to moderate interaction strengths. Our methodical advances pave the way for treating more complicated models in the future.

description: Exposure to environmental factors can affect DNA methylation at a 5'-cytosine-phosphate-guanine-3' (CpG) site or a genomic region, which can then affect an outcome. In other words, environmental effects on an outcome could be mediated by DNA methylation. To date, single CpG-site-based mediation analysis has been employed extensively. More recently, however, there has been considerable interest in studying differentially methylated regions (DMRs), both because DMRs are more likely to have functional effects than single CpG sites and because testing DMRs reduces multiple testing. In this report, we propose a novel causal mediation approach under the counterfactual framework to test the significance of total (TE), direct (DE), and indirect effects (IE) of predictors on response variable with a methylated region (MR) as the mediator (denoted as MR-Mediation). Functional linear transformation is used to reduce the possible high dimension of the CpG sites in a predefined MR and to account for their location information. In our simulation studies, MR-Mediation retained the desired Type I error rates for TE, DE, and IE tests. Furthermore, MR-Mediation had better power performance than testing mean methylation level as the mediator in most considered scenarios, especially for IE (i.e., mediated effect) test, which could be more interesting than the other two effect tests. We further illustrate our proposed method by analysing the methylation mediated effect of exposure to gun violence on total immunoglobulin E or atopic asthma among participants in the Epigenetic Variation and Childhood Asthma in Puerto Ricans study.

description: Abstract for poster and talk to presented 25 July 2019 at ISMB/ECCB 2019 as part of the Education COSI:

Background: As the life sciences have become more computational and data intensive, the pressure to incorporate the requisite training into life-science education and training programs has increased. To facilitate curriculum development, various sets of bioinformatics competencies have been articulated; however, these have proved difficult to implement in practice. Addressing this issue, we have created a curriculum design and evaluation tool – the Mastery Rubric for Bioinformatics (MR-Bi) - to support the development of specific Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs) that promote bioinformatics practice and the achievement of competencies.

Methods: 12 KSAs were extracted, and stages along a developmental trajectory were identified. The KSAs and their performance level descriptors at each stage were formulated, ultimately yielding the MR-Bi.

Results and Conclusions: The MR-Bi prioritizes the development of independence and scientific reasoning. It can be used by practicing scientists at all career stages to direct their (and their team’s) acquisition of new, or to deepen existing, bioinformatics KSAs. It can be used to strengthen teaching and learning and for curriculum building. It can thereby contribute to the cultivation of a next generation of bioinformaticians who can design reproducible and rigorous research, and to critically analyze results from their own, and others’, work.
A Low Power Threshold, Ultrathin Optical Limiter Based on a Nonlinear Zone Plate

description: Ultrathin optical limiters are needed to protect light sensitive components in miniaturized optical systems. However, it has proven challenging to achieve a sufficiently low optical limiting threshold. In this work, we theoretically show that an ultrathin optical limiter with low threshold intensity can be realized using a nonlinear zone plate. The zone plate is embedded with nonlinear saturable absorbing materials that allow the device to focus low intensity light, while high intensity light is transmitted as a plane wave without a focal spot. Based on this proposed mechanism, we use the finite-difference time-domain method to computationally design a zone plate embedded with InAs quantum dots as the saturable absorbing material. The device has a thickness of just 0.5 $μm$ and exhibits good optical limiting behavior with a threshold intensity as low as 0.45 kW/$cm^2$, which is several orders of magnitude lower than current ultrathin flat-optics-based optical limiters. This design can be optimized for different operating wavelengths and threshold intensities by using different saturable absorbing materials. Additionally, the diameter and focal length of the nonlinear zone plate can be easily adjusted to fit different systems and applications. Due to its flexible design, low power threshold, and ultrathin thickness, this optical limiting concept may be promising for application in miniaturized optical systems.

description: We consider a chain of free electrons with periodically switched dimerization and study the entanglement entropy of a segment with the remainder of the system. We show that it evolves in a stepwise manner towards a value proportional to the length of the segment and displays in general slow oscillations.

description: Fungal meroterpenoids are important bioactive natural products. Their biosynthetic machineries are highly diverse, and reconstitutions lead to the production of unnatural meroterpenoids. In this study, heterologous gene expression in Aspergillus oryzae and in vitro assays elucidated the biosynthetic pathway of the orthoester-containing fungal meroterpenoid austalide F. Remarkably, the α-ketoglutarate-dependent oxygenase AstB produces the hemiacetal intermediate, and the methyltransferase AstL transfers a methyl group on it to construct the orthoester functionality. This study presents the extraordinary orthoester biosynthetic machinery and provides valuable insights into the creation of unnatural novel bioactive meroterpenoids through engineered biosynthesis.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Reactivity and mechanism in chemical and synthetic biology’.

description: We compute all fusion algebras with symmetric rational $S$-matrix up to dimension 12. Only two of them may be used as $S$-matrices in a modular datum: the $S$-matrices of the quantum doubles of $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ and $S_3$. Almost all of them satisfy a certain congruence which has some interesting implications, for example for their degrees. We also give explicitly an infinite sequence of modular data with rational $S$- and $T$-matrices which are neither tensor products of smaller modular data nor $S$-matrices of quantum doubles of finite groups. For some sequences of finite groups (certain subdirect products of $S_3,D_4,Q_8,S_4$), we prove the rationality of the $S$-matrices of their quantum doubles.

A Further Measurement of the beta-Delayed alpha-Particle Emission of 16N

description: We measured the beta-delayed alpha-particle emission spectrum of 16N with a sensitivity for beta-decay branching ratios of the order of 10-10. The 16N nuclei were produced using the d(15N,16N)p reaction with 70 MeV 15N beams and a deuterium gas target 7.5 cm long at a pressure of 1250 torr. The 16N nuclei were collected (over 10 s) using a thin aluminum foil with an areal density of 180 mu g/cm2 tilted at 7 Deg with respect to the beam. The activity was transferred to the counting area by means of a stepping motor in less than 3 s with the counting carried out over 8 s. The beta-delayed alpha-particles were measured using a time of flight method to achieve a sufficiently low background. Standard calibration sources (148Gd, 241Am, 208,209Po, and 227Ac) as well as alpha-particles and 7Li from the 10B(n,alpha)7Li reaction were used for an accurate energy calibration. The energy resolution of the catcher foil (180-220 keV) was calculated and the time of flight resolution (3-10 nsec) was measured using the beta-delayed alpha-particle emission from 8Li that was produced using the d(7Li,8Li)p reaction with the same setup. The line shape was corrected to account for the variation in the energy and time resolution and a high statistics spectrum of the beta-delayed alpha-particle emission of 16N is reported. However, our data (as well as earlier Mainz data and unpublished Seattle data) do not agree with an earlier measurement of the beta-delayed alpha-particle emission of 16N taken at TRIUMF after averaging over the energy resolution of our collection system. This disagreement, amongst other issues, prohibits accurate inclusion of the f-wave component in the R-matrix analysis.
