description: The recent measurement of the third lepton mixing angle, θ_{13}, has shown that, although small compared to θ_{12} and θ_{23}, it is much larger than anticipated in schemes that generate Tri-Bi-Maximal (TBM) or Golden Ratio (GR) mixing. We develop a model-independent formalism for perturbations away from exact TBM or GR mixing in the neutrino sector. Each resulting perturbation scheme reflects an underlying symmetry structure and involves a single complex parameter. We show that such perturbations can readily fit the observed value of θ_{13}, which is then correlated with a change in the other mixing angles. We also determine the implication for the lepton CP violating phases. For comparison we determine the predictions for Bi-Maximal mixing corrected by charged lepton mixing and we discuss the accuracy that will be needed to distinguish between the various schemes.

Hybrid-mode-locked Ce:LiCAF lasers

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This research project entitled “cerium lasers: ultraviolet, ultrafast, and ultracool” was introduced at the MQ Photonics Research Centre in Macquarie University with the aim of advancing ultrafast ultraviolet lasers based on Ce:LiCAF. This resulted in a new modelocking scheme for Ce:LiCAF lasers, a modified cross-correlation technique to measure the duration of the generated pulses, and characterisation of the spectral behaviour of the laser system. Combining a synchronous pumping scheme with Kerr-lens mode-locking led to the first hybrid mode-locking scheme within a Ce:LiCAF laser. Compared with previous results, the addition of this latter mode-locking mechanism decreased the generated pulse duration by more than a factor of 60, from 6 ps to 91 fs. This duration was measured by modifying asynchronous cross-correlation with a simple microscope cover-slip time reference introduced into half of the reference beam profile, dubbed split-beam asynchronous cross-correlation. This new approach determines the measurement time-scale more quickly, on the order of 104, reducing uncertainty. The intra-cavity dispersion of the Ce:LiCAF laser was calculated, and measured experimentally, which enabled Kerr-lens mode-locking. The phenomenon of dispersion tuning was characterised and utilised to determine the amount of intra-cavity dispersion, and as a guide for identifying the zero point, at which there is minimal tuning. Additional dispersive elements were used to dispersion-tune over a range of more than 5 nm in the region of 290 nm. The slope efficiency of the hybrid-mode-locked Ce:LiCAF laser was measured to be 9%, with a threshold of 1.0W. A low-transmission plane output coupler was used to achieve this, which also consolidated the output power from the previous four beams, via a near- Brewster’s-angle plate output coupler, into a single beam for the first time. The low threshold achieved using this output coupler enabled the first demonstration of un-chopped operation from the mode-locked Ce:LiCAF laser.

description: In this notice we would like to study the fractal structure of the set of high points for the membrane model in the critical dimension d=4. We are able to compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points which are atypically high, and also that of clusters, showing that high points tend not to be evenly spread on the lattice. We will see that these results follow closely those obtained by Olivier Daviaud for the 2-dimensional discrete Gaussian Free Field.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία διερευνήθηκε σε εργαστηριακή κλίμακα η δυνατότητα αξιοποίησης της παιπάλης που παράγεται ως παραπροϊόν-απόρριμμα κατά την παραγωγή αδρανών υλικών για την παραγωγή ινοπλισμένου κυψελωτού σκυροδέματος. Η παραγωγή κυψελωτού σκυροδέματος πραγματοποιήθηκε χωρίς τη χρήση αυτοκλείστου (NAAC-Non Autoclaved Aerated Concrete), με σκοπό την εξοικονόμηση ενεργειακών πόρων, καθώς για την παραγωγή του απαιτείται μικρότερη κατανάλωση ενέργειας σε σχέση με το κυψελωτό σκυρόδεμα υδροθερμικής κατεργασίας που απαιτεί χρήση αυτοκλείστου (AAC-Autoclaved Aerated Concrete).
Η διερεύνηση περιελάμβανε την παρασκευή και έλεγχο εργαστηριακών δοκιμίων μιγμάτων παιπάλης, λευκού τσιμέντου, υδρασβέστου, ινών πολυπροπυλενίου, νερού και άλλων ειδικών πρόσμικτων. Μετρήθηκαν οι αντοχές σε θλίψη και κάμψη, η πυκνότητα και η υδατοαπορρόφηση, ενώ υπολογίστηκε και ο λόγος νερό/τσιμέντο όλων των δοκιμίων, για όλες τις συνθέσεις.
Με βάση τον παραγοντικό σχεδιασμό παρασκευάστηκαν 18 συνθέσεις με ίνες πολυπροπυλενίου και επιπλέον 3 συνθέσεις χωρίς την προσθήκη ινών, οι οποίες χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ως συνθέσεις-οδηγοί για σκοπούς σύγκρισης με τις υπόλοιπες συνθέσεις. Τέλος, μελετήθηκαν 4 σενάρια βελτιστοποίησης των συνθέσεων απ’ όπου προέκυψαν οι συνδυασμοί των παραγοντικών επιπέδων που ικανοποιούν τα σενάρια αυτά για τις τιμές των μεταβλητών απόκρισης που ορίστηκαν. Τα αποτελέσματα του παραγοντικού σχεδιασμού  έδειξαν  ότι η προσθήκη ινών, είτε μικρού μήκους (2,2mm) είτε του μεγάλου μήκους (6-8mm), στην προτεινόμενη από τον κατασκευαστή δοσολογία (0,9kg/m3), βελτιώνει τις μηχανικές ιδιότητες και ιδιαίτερα την αντοχή σε κάμψη (Fs) και το λόγο αντοχή σε κάμψη προς πυκνότητα (Fs/Density). Η προσθήκη ινών σε δοσολογία μεγαλύτερη (αύξηση κατά 50% και 100% ) από εκείνη που προτείνει ο κατασκευαστής δε βελτιώνει σημαντικά την επιτυγχανόμενη αντοχή σε κάμψη και θλίψη, ενώ η ταυτόχρονη χρήση ινών μεγάλου μήκους και σε αυξημένη δοσολογία οδηγεί σε αυξημένο λόγο νερό/τσιμέντο για να επιτευχθεί ικανοποιητική εργασιμότητα στο νωπό μίγμα γεγονός που επιδρά αρνητικά στις μηχανικές ιδιότητες των σκληρυμένων δοκιμίων. Η πυκνότητα και η υδατοαπορρόφηση των σκληρυμένων δοκιμίων δε φαίνεται να επηρεάζονται σημαντικά από την προσθήκη ινών.
Από τα αποτελέσματα βελτιστοποίησης προέκυψε ότι η σύνθεση που εμφανίζει τον καλύτερο συνδυασμό αντοχής-πυκνότητας (μεγιστοποίηση της αντοχής σε θλίψη (Cs) με ταυτόχρονη επίτευξη πυκνότητας ≤ 0,80 g/cm3) επιτυγχάνει αντοχή σε θλίψη 6,30MPa  και πυκνότητα 0,80g/cm3.

description: A measure is derived to quantify directed information transfer between pairs of vertices in a weighted network, over paths of a specified maximal length. Our approach employs a general, probabilistic model of network traffic, from which the informational distance between dynamics on two weighted networks can be naturally expressed as a Jensen Shannon Divergence (JSD). Our network transfer entropy measure is shown to be able to distinguish and quantify causal relationships between network elements, in applications to simple synthetic networks and a biological signalling network. We conclude with a theoretical extension of our framework, in which the square root of the JSD induces a metric on the space of dynamics on weighted networks. We prove a convergence criterion, demonstrating that a form of convergence in the structure of weighted networks in a family of matrix metric spaces implies convergence of their dynamics with respect to the square root JSD metric.

description: We examine a multidimensional optimisation problem in the tropical mathematics setting. The problem involves the minimisation of a nonlinear function defined on a finite-dimensional semimodule over an idempotent semifield subject to linear inequality constraints. We start with an overview of known tropical optimisation problems with linear and nonlinear objective functions. A short introduction to tropical algebra is provided to offer a formal framework for solving the problem under study. As a preliminary result, a solution to a linear inequality with an arbitrary matrix is presented. We describe an example optimisation problem drawn from project scheduling and then offer a general representation of the problem. To solve the problem, we introduce an additional variable and reduce the problem to the solving of a linear inequality, in which the variable plays the role of a parameter. A necessary and sufficient condition for the inequality to hold is used to evaluate the parameter, whereas the solution to the inequality is considered a solution to the problem. Based on this approach, a complete direct solution in a compact vector form is derived for the optimisation problem under fairly general conditions. Numerical and graphical examples for two-dimensional problems are given to illustrate the obtained results.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία γίνεται μια συστηματική προσέγγιση των ραδονούχων πηγών του Αγίου Αντωνίου, μιας συστοιχίας πηγών που εκφορτίζονται στο παραλιακό μέτωπο μιας περιοχής ανατολικά της Σούγιας, της επαρχίας Σελίνου, στις νότιες παρυφές των Λευκών Ορέων του νομού Χανίων της Κρήτης.
Από προηγούμενες έρευνες οριοθετούνται και παρουσιάζονται οι γεωλογικές συνθήκες της περιοχής.  Από δείγματα υδάτων που συλλέχθηκαν σε τρεις διαφορετικές περιόδους δειγματοληψίας (Σεπτέμβριο του 2016 και 2017 και τον Απρίλιο του 2018) μετά από αναλύσεις κύριων στοιχείων και ιχνοστοιχείων, ερμηνεύονται οι μετρούμενες συγκεντρώσεις του ραδονίου και τα φυσικοχημικά χαρακτηριστικά των παραδοσιακά ιαματικών πηγών. Το σύνολο των φυσικοχημικών και υδροχημικών χαρακτηριστικών τους απεικονίστηκαν με τη χρήση υδροχημικών διαγραμμάτων.
Συμπερασματικά, τα νερά των πηγών του Αγίου Αντωνίου, όπως διαπιστώθηκε, είναι ψυχρά (14,3-15,2ºC), μπορεί να θεωρηθούν ραδονούχα (συγκέντρωση max 130.000 Bq/m3), εμπίπτουν δε στην κατηγορία των χλωρονατριούχων υδάτων. Σύμφωνα με τα συνολικά διαλυμένα στερεά (TDS), την έντονη παρουσία χλωρίου και νατρίου και λαμβάνοντας υπ’ όψιν το φαινόμενο Venturi, οδηγούμαστε στο σαφές συμπέρασμα της περιοδικής ανάμειξης θαλασσινού νερού στις υπό μελέτη πηγές. Η απουσία διαλυμένων ραδιενεργών ιχνοστοιχείων στα νερά των πηγών σε συνδυασμό με την αυξημένες τιμές συγκέντρωσης ραδονίου οδηγούν στην υπόθεση ότι η έκλυση ραδονίου συνδέεται με ρήγματα μεγάλου βάθους, που οριοθετούν τα πετρώματα της Ενότητας του Τρυπαλίου στην περιοχή.

title: Exploration of a mine waste dump failure
Creators: name: Figueiredo-Lopes-Pereira Rui-Miguel
Publisher: name: Technical University of Crete
Year: 2018

description: Nowadays the mining exploration is the aim of several studies in order to exploit in a safe, orderly and sustainable way all mine material of economic or no economic value.

Focusing on the material with no economic value that represents large volumes of
waste soil material is going to be deposited in areas properly chosen and close as
possible of the open pits where the waste is produced. These volumes after a few
stages of deposition give rise to enormous masses of soil material named waste
dumps. Due to their gradual depositions and different water conditions that can be present, the study of their stability becomes necessary, in order to avoid hazards that can put at risk operations, equipment and above all human lives.

In this thesis, analysis of a waste dump stability on a Lignite Mine located in northern Greece was carried out using two different soil models in Plaxis 2D.

In the first scenario the kinetic behaviour of all the formations was simulated using the Mohr Coulomb model.

In the second scenario, the clayey layer located in the base of deposition was
simulated using Softening Soil Model, while the remaining layers were simulated using the Mohr Coulomb criterion.

Comparing the simulation results with the records in the field, the importance of using the appropriate behavioral criterion for each individual layer in order to achieve the optimum result is highlighted.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly in various domains, including smart city applications. In many cases, IoT data in smart city applications have time constraints in which they are relevant and acceptable to the task at hand—a window of validity (WoV). Existing algorithms, such as ex post facto adjustment, data offloading, fog computing, and blockchain applications, generally focus on managing the time-validity of data. In this paper, we consider that the functional components of the IoT devices’ decision-making strategies themselves may also be defined in terms of a WoV. We propose an aspect-oriented mechanism to supervise the execution of the IoT device’s strategy, manage the WoV constraints, and resolve invalidated functional components through communication in the multi-agent system. The applicability of our proposed approach is considered with respect to the improved cost, service life, and environmental outcomes for IoT devices in a smart cities context.

Emotional Narratives at Holocaust Exhibitions in the UK: Exploring Visitors’ Engagement and Experience
Creators: name: Katharaki, Sofia
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: My thesis analyses the ways in which individuals experienced and responded to Holocaust history exhibitions in the UK, immediately after their visit by interpreting their emotional and personal narratives. This research aims primarily to understand what triggers people to visit/revisit Holocaust exhibitions, the nature of the visitors' experience within Holocaust exhibitions, as well as understanding both how and why individuals engage with the difficult past in certain ways. Consequently, the thesis examines how emotional responses were contextualised within museum and whether emotional engagement has any significance in visitors' thoughts, feelings and attitude, in relation to the past and its contemporary meaning. The fieldwork took place in two museums in the UK: The National Holocaust Centre and Museum in Nottingham and the Jewish museum in London. The use of interpretative qualitative approach, and open-ended interviews were conducted to enhance the exploration and understanding of how visitors responded to difficult past. The visitors' diverse emotional responses shed light on the ways in which they related and interpreted historical narratives within museums' exhibitions. The contribution of this thesis is also enhanced by providing insights regarding the extent in which individuals used the museum exhibitions to reinforce their established ideas and values, and/or validate their identities, and how this engagement shaped their museum experience. Furthermore, by bridging together theories and methodologies from different disciplines (museum studies, media psychology, theory of emotions and sociocultural paradigms) the research has enriched our understanding of how the emotions work and how visitors used them within the museum space. Finally, this research questions the assumption that creating Holocaust exhibitions encourages visitors to engage effectively in ideas that affect their thoughts and actions in the future.

description: A coupled-channel effective Lagrangian model respecting unitary and gauge invariance is applied to the combined analysis of the $(π,γ) N \to KΣ$ reactions for the center of mass energies up to 2 GeV. The recent photoproduction data obtained by the CLAS, CBELSA, LEPS, and GRAAL groups are included into our calculations with the aim to extract the resonance couplings to the $KΣ$ state. Both resonances and background contributions are found to be important to reproduce a correct shape of the angular distributions and polarization observables. Our description to the data is of good quality. The extracted properties of isospin $I = 3/2$ resonances are discussed in detail while the $I = 1/2$ resonances are largely determined by the non-strangeness channels.

description: We study diffusion in a network which is governed by non-autonomous Kirchhoff conditions at the vertices of the graph. Also the diffusion coefficients may depend on time. We prove at first a result on existence and uniqueness using form methods. Our main results concern the long-term behavior of the solution. In the case when the conductivity and the diffusion coefficients match (so that mass is conserved) we show that the solution converges exponentially fast to an equilibrium. We also show convergence to a special solution in some other cases.

description: Lines in the energy spectrum of gamma rays are a fascinating experimental signal, which are often considered "smoking gun" evidence of dark matter annihilation. The current generation of gamma ray observatories are currently closing in on parameter space of great interest in the context of dark matter which is a thermal relic. We consider theories in which the dark matter's primary connection to the Standard Model is via the top quark, realizing strong gamma ray lines consistent with a thermal relic through the forbidden channel mechanism proposed in the Higgs in Space Model. We consider realistic UV-completions of the Higgs in Space and related theories, and show that a rich structure of observable gamma ray lines is consistent with a thermal relic as well as constraints from dark matter searches and the LHC. Particular attention is paid to the one loop contributions to the continuum gamma rays, which can easily swamp the line signals in some cases, and have been largely overlooked in previous literature.

We describe various aspects that appear key points to us, and finish with a limit of such a construction which stand in the dynamics on probability spaces where it seems that branching effects can be fully studied without any adaptation of the framework.

Isobaric Yield Ratio Difference in Heavy-ion Collisions, and Comparison to Isoscaling

description: An isobaric yield ratio difference (IBD) method is proposed to study the ratio of the difference between the chemical potential of neutron and proton to temperature ($Δμ/T$) in heavy-ion collisions. The $Δμ/T$ determined by the IBD method (IB-$Δμ/T$) is compared to the results of the isoscaling method (IS-$Δμ/T$), which uses the isotopic or the isotonic yield ratio. Similar distributions of the IB- and IS-$Δμ/T$ are found in the measured 140$A$ MeV $^{40,48}$Ca + $^{9}$Be and the $^{58,64}$Ni + $^{9}$Be reactions. The IB- and IS-$Δμ/T$ both have a distribution with a plateau in the small mass fragments plus an increasing part in the fragments of relatively larger mass. The IB- and IS-$Δμ/T$ plateaus show dependence on the $n/p$ ratio of the projectile. It is suggested that the height of the plateau is decided by the difference between the neutron density ($ρ_n$) and the proton density ($ρ_p$) distributions of the projectiles, and the width shows the overlapping volume of the projectiles in which $ρ_n$ and $ρ_p$ change very little. The difference between the IB- and IS-$Δμ/T$ is explained by the isoscaling parameters being constrained by the many isotopes and isotones, while the IBD method only uses the yields of two isobars. It is suggested that the IB-$Δμ/T$ is more reasonable than the IS-$Δμ/T$, especially when the isotopic or isotonic ratio disobeys the isoscaling. As to the question whether the $Δμ/T$ depends on the density or the temperature, the density dependence is preferred since the low density can result in low temperature in the peripheral reactions.

description: We discuss the possibility to create hybrid quantum systems that combine ultracold atoms with graphene membranes. We investigate a setup in which a cold atom cloud is placed close to a free-standing sheet of graphene at distances on the order of a few hundred nanometers. The atoms then couple to the graphene membrane via Casimir-Polder forces. Temporal changes in the atomic state of the atomic cloud changes the Casimir-Polder interaction, thereby leading to the creation of a backaction force in the graphene sheet. This setup provides a controllable way to engineer ripples in a graphene sheet.

Creators: name: Φανουργιακης Σωτηρης

description: Η διεργασία της ξηρής αναμόρφωσης του βιοαερίου έχει αποκτήσει ερευνητικό και βιομηχανικό ενδιαφέρον για τους εξής λόγους: α) την εκμετάλλευση δύο αερίων (του CO2 και του CH4) που συμβάλλουν σημαντικά στην πρόκληση του φαινομένου του θερμοκηπίου και β) την παραγωγή αερίου σύνθεσης (CO/H2), ιδιαιτέρως υδρογόνου: το H2 θεωρείται πλέον το καύσιμο του μέλλοντος. Η εκμετάλλευση του γίνεται κυρίως μέσω των κυψελίδων καυσίμου για την παραγωγή ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας, με εφαρμογές σε πολλούς τομείς συμπεριλαμβανομένου του αυτοκινήτου και του διαστήματος. Το μεθάνιο είναι ο υδρογονάνθρακας με το μεγαλύτερο ενδιαφέρον προς αυτή την κατεύθυνση, καθώς είναι το βασικό συστατικό του βιοαερίου που παράγεται πλέον ελεγχόμενα σε μεγάλες ποσότητες στις εγκαταστάσεις βιολογικού καθαρισμού των αστικών-βιομηχανικών αποβλήτων.
Η αναμόρφωση του βιοαερίου μπορεί να γίνει είτε με ατμό (ατμό- αναμόρφωση) είτε με CO2 (ξηρή αναμόρφωση) είτε με μικτό τρόπο (H2O και CO2).
CH4+H2O → CO+3H2 (ΔΗο=206kj/mol) (ατμό- αναμόρφωση)
CH4+CO2 → 2CO+2H2 (ΔΗο=240kj/mol) (ξηρή αναμόρφωση)
Η ξηρή αναμόρφωση παρουσιάζει ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον καθώς: α) αποτελεί τρόπο χρήσης του CO2 που είναι αέριο που συμβάλει στο φαινόμενο του θερμοκηπίου και αποτελεί ένα από τα βασικά συστατικά του βιοαερίου σε αναλογία περίπου 50/50 με το μεθάνιο και β) πραγματοποιείται σε άνυδρες συνθήκες με αποτέλεσμα να αποφεύγεται η δύσκολη και υψηλού κόστους διαχείριση του ατμού.
Διάφορα καταλυτικά συστήματα έχουν δοκιμαστεί επιτυχώς στην ξηρή αναμόρφωση του μεθανίου με το Ni να συγκεντρώνει το μεγαλύτερο ενδιαφέρον. Όμως το σημαντικότερο πρόβλημα είναι η εναπόθεση άνθρακα, η οποία είναι υπεύθυνη για την απενεργοποίηση των καταλυτών. Ο συνδυασμός Ir και Ni έχει δείξει μια ενδιαφέρουσα αποτρεπτικότητα στην εναπόθεση άνθρακα, πράγμα που τους δίνει μια δυναμική για πρακτική εφαρμογή ως καταλύτες ξηρής αναμόρφωσης μεθανίου ή και άλλων υδρογονανθράκων.
Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετήθηκαν οι καταλύτες 55wt%Ni/YSZ, 2wt%Ir-55wt%Ni/GDC, 2wt%Ir-55wt%Ni/YSZ, 3wt%Au-51,1wt%Ni/GDC, 3wt%Au-51,1wt%Ni/YSZ, Ni/Al2O3(βιομηχανικός), με στόχο τη ανάδειξη των καταλυτών εκείνων που παρουσιάζουν υψηλή απόδοση και αντίσταση στην εναπόθεση άνθρακα που θα υποβάθμιζε την απόδοσή τους με τον χρόνο κατά την ξηρή αναμόρφωση του CH4. Από τη μελέτη των καταλυτών στην ξηρή αναμόρφωση του μεθανίου διαπιστώθηκε ότι η ενεργότητα τους βελτιώνεται με την αύξηση της θερμοκρασίας, καθώς και ότι οι καταλύτες που περιείχαν Ir είχαν μεγαλύτερη καταλυτική ενεργότητα από τους αντίστοιχους που περιείχαν Au. Επίσης μελετήθηκε και ένας μονομεταλλικός καταλύτης ιριδίου ο 1wt%Ir/Al2O3 για την πληρέστερη κατανόηση της συμπεριφοράς της φάσης του Ιριδίου στην υπό μελέτη καταλυτική διεργασία. Το συμπέρασμα που προέκυψε είναι πως παρά την υψηλή του απόδοση, όταν επεξεργαστεί σε κύκλους οξείδωσης-αναγωγής είναι έντονα επιζήμιο για την απόδοση του λόγω εκτεταμένης συσσωμάτωσης.

description: 	Αντικείμενο της παρούσας μεταπτυχιακής εργασίας αποτελεί η αποτίμηση και η ενίσχυση ενός τυπικού κτιρίου με φέροντα οργανισμό από οπλισμένο σκυρόδεμα, με εφαρμογή γραμμικών και μη-γραμμικών μεθόδων ανάλυσης σύμφωνα με τις σχετικές διατάξεις του Κανονισμού Επεμβάσεων (ΚΑΝ.ΕΠΕ.). Αρχικά παρουσιάζεται η διαχρονική εξέλιξη των αντισεισμικών κανονισμών στην Ελλάδα από το 1959 έως σήμερα και στη συνέχεια αναφέρεται η αναγκαιότητα αποτίμησης και ενίσχυσης των υφιστάμενων κατασκευών με βάση τον πρόσφατο Κανονισμό Επεμβάσεων.
	Για το υπό μελέτη κτίριο λαμβάνεται ως χρόνος κατασκευής το 1965. Το κτίριο αποτελείται από ισόγειο-pilotis και τέσσερις ορόφους, ενώ ο φέρων οργανισμός είναι από οπλισμένο σκυρόδεμα. Σε πρώτη φάση έγινε έλεγχος επάρκειας των δομικών μελών στον υφιστάμενο φορέα. Για τον σκοπό αυτό αρχικά διενεργήθηκε ιδιομορφική ανάλυση και στη συνέχεια έγινε υπερωθητική ανάλυση (Pushover analysis). Από τις παραπάνω αναλύσεις προέκυψαν σημαντικές ανεπάρκειες με συνέπεια την ανάγκη ανασχεδιασμού του κτιρίου με εφαρμογή κατάλληλων ενισχύσεων. Στην παρούσα διερεύνηση παρουσιάζονται δύο προτάσεις ενίσχυσης, και πιο συγκεκριμένα η ενίσχυση του μόνο με ενφατνούμενα τοιχώματα και η ενίσχυση του με ενφατνούμενα τοιχώματα και μανδύες οπλισμένου σκυροδέματος σε δοκούς και υποστυλώματα.
	Με την προσθήκη μόνο των ενφατνούμενων τοιχωμάτων παρατηρείται -πάλι μέσω ιδιομορφικής και υπερωθητικής ανάλυσης- βελτίωση της εικόνας της κατασκευής όσον αφορά στη στρεπτική της ευαισθησία και μια μικρή βελτίωση, αλλά όχι σημαντική, όσον αφορά τον έλεγχο επάρκειας των δομικών μελών της. Με την προσθήκη ενφατνούμενων τοιχωμάτων και μανδυών οπλισμένου σκυροδέματος σε δοκούς και υποστυλώματα παρατηρείται ότι ο φορέας του κτιρίου ενισχύεται επαρκώς και εμφανίζει πολύ καλύτερη απόκριση σε σύγκριση με τον αρχικό, αφού πληροί τα κριτήρια του ισχύοντος κανονιστικού πλαισίου επεμβάσεων.

description: A new route to $d^0$ magnetism is established with help of the first principles methods. Non-magnetic interstitial impurities from group 14 in the periodic table are found to induce $p$-orbital magnetism in polycrystalline PbO-type structures. The half-filled $p$-orbitals occupied by two electrons is generated on the impurity site for which the ferromagnetic state of high stability is guaranteed by the first Hund's rule. Since the impurity is embedded between layers of the host, its atomic radius is a key to tune not only its solubility but also the magnetic behavior: the on-site stability of the spin polarized state grows with reduction of the atomic radius while losing in the long-rang order interactions. However, for impurities of smaller radius the weaker inter-site magnetic coupling can be compensated by their concentration as the impurity solubility limit is shifted to higher magnitudes.

description: Patients with advanced stage invasive cervical cancer (CC) exhibit highly complex genomic alterations and respond poorly to conventional treatment protocols. In our efforts to understand the molecular genetic basis of CC, we examined the role of Fanconi Anemia (FA)-BRCA pathway. Here, we show that FANCF gene is disrupted by either promoter hypermethylation and/or deregulated gene expression in a majority of CC. Inhibition of DNA methy- lation and histone deacetylases induces FANCF gene re-expression in CC cell lines. FANCF-deregulated CC cell lines also exhibit a chromosomal hyper- sensitivity phenotype after exposure to an alkylating agent, a characteristic of FA patients. We also show the involvement of BRCA1 gene by promoter hypermethylation or down-regulated expression in a small subset of CC patients. Thus, we have found inactivation of genes in the FA-BRCA pathway by epigenetic alterations in a high proportion of CC patients, suggesting a major role for this pathway in the development of cervical cancer. Thus, these results have important implications in understanding the molecular basis of CC tumorigenesis and clinical management in designing targeted experimen- tal therapeutic protocols.
