description: Breaks in the radio spectra of supernova remnants (SNRs) reflect the maximum energy of either shock-accelerated electrons or - in the case of pulsar wind nebulae - of electrons injected by the central pulsar. Otherwise, the break may result from energy losses due to synchrotron aging or it is caused by energy-dependent diffusion. A spectral steepening of the plerionic SNR CTB87 at around 11 GHz was observed in the eighties, but a recent analysis of CTB87's energetic properties based on new radio data raised doubt on it. CTB87 consists of a central compact component surrounded by a diffuse centrally peaked almost circular halo. Missing faint halo emission due to insufficient sensitivity of early high-frequency observations may be be the reason for the reported spectral break. We intend to clarify the high-frequency spectrum of CTB87 by new sensitive observations. We used the broad-band 2-cm receiver at the Effelsberg 100-m telescope for sensitive continuum observations of CTB87 and its halo in two frequency bands. The new 2-cm maps of CTB87 show halo emission with a diameter of about 17' or 30 pc for a distance of 6.1 kpc in agreement with lower-frequency data. The measured flux densities are significantly higher than those reported earlier. The new 2-cm data establish the high-frequency continuation of CTB87's low-frequency spectrum. Any significant high-frequency spectral bend or break is constrained to frequencies well above about 18 GHz. The extended halo of CTB87 has a faint counterpart in gamma-rays (VER J2016+37) and thus indicates a common origin of the emitting electrons.

description: Recent investigation of locality problem for higher-spin fields led to a vertex reconstruction procedure that involved elements of contraction of the original Vasiliev interaction algebra. Inspired by these results we propose the Vasiliev-like generating equations for holomorphic higher-spin interactions in four dimensions based on the observed contracted algebra. We specify the functional class that admits evolution on the proposed equations and brings in a systematic procedure of extracting all-order holomorphic vertices. A simple consequence of the proposed equations is space-time locality of the gauge field sector. We also show that vertices come with a remarkable shift symmetry.

title: Detection of gas in sandstone reservoir using AVO analysis in Prinos basin
Creators: name: Χουστουλακης Εμμανουηλ
Publisher: name: Technical University of Crete
Year: 2015

description: This thesis was focused on an integrated approach of gas detection in the sandstone reservoir of Prinos oil field, located in the northern Aegean Sea between the island of Thasos and city of Kavala on the mainland. The rock properties variation with depth in the study area, were inferred from suite of quality controlled well seismic logs, while the geological structure of the model was based on an East-West 2D geological plan of Prinos basin. Furthermore, the top layer of the reservoir was considered to be 50% saturated with gas, so, its elastic parameters were accordingly adjusted. The above information were given as input to a synthetic data simulator (Applied Geophysics Laboratory of the Technical University of Crete) in order to build low frequency synthetic seismograms. Additionally, a signal processing graphical interface was build, in order to properly process the synthetic data before the application of the AVO analysis. The GUI can support the whole preprocessing scheme prior to the AVO analysis, from the commissioning of the SGY data, until the generation of the stacked and migrated sections, while the results can be represented graphically at any point. Finally, an analytical AVO analysis flow was adapted for the processed seismic data which successfully detected the presence of gas in the shallow gas saturated layer. The AVO analysis flow included rock physics analysis, intercept-gradient crossplots, far versus near stack attributes, detailed investigation of distance to amplitude analysis and AVO inversion for the elastic parmetres of the model.

To this end we extend previous models by going beyond the axial approximation for III-V semiconductors. For heavy-hole subbands we identify an exact spin-preserving symmetry analogous to the electronic case by analyzing the crossover from weak antilocalization to weak localization and spin transmission as a function of extrinsic spin-orbit interaction strength.

description: Local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak plasmas demonstrate that turbulent eddies can extend along magnetic field lines for hundreds of poloidal turns when the magnetic shear is very small. By accurately modeling different field line topologies (e.g. low-order, almost rational, or irrational safety factor), we show that the parallel self-interaction of such "ultra long" eddies can dramatically reduce heat transport. This reveals novel strategies to improve confinement, constitutes experimentally testable predictions, and illuminates past observations of internal transport barriers.

description: Spaceborne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors observing at milli-Hz and deci-Hz frequencies are expected to detect large numbers of quasi-monochromatic signals. The first and second time-derivative of the GW frequency ($\dot f_0$ and $\ddot f_0$) can be measured for the most favourable sources and used to look for negative post-Newtonian corrections, which can be induced by the source's environment or modifications of general relativity. We present an analytical, Fisher-matrix-based approach to estimate how precisely such corrections can be constrained. We use this method to estimate the bounds attainable on the time evolution of the gravitational constant $G(t)$ with different classes of quasi-monochromatic sources observable with LISA and DECIGO, two representative spaceborne detectors for milli-Hz and deci-Hz GW frequencies. We find that the most constraining source among a simulated population of LISA galactic binaries could yield $\dot G/G_0 \lesssim 10^{-6}\text{yr}^{-1}$, while the best currently known verification binary will reach $\dot G/G_0 \lesssim 10^{-4}\text{yr}^{-1}$. We also perform Monte-Carlo simulations using quasi-monochromatic waveforms to check the validity of our Fisher-matrix approach, as well as inspiralling waveforms to analyse binaries that do not satisfy the quasi-monochromatic assumption. We find that our analytical Fisher matrix produces good order-of-magnitude constraints even for sources well beyond its regime of validity. Monte-Carlo investigations also show that chirping stellar-mass compact binaries detected by DECIGO-like detectors at cosmological distances of tens of Mpc can yield constraints as tight as $\dot G/G_0 \lesssim 10^{-11}\text{yr}^{-1}$.

description: Bioaccumulation, toxicity and long-range transport of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is a threat to soil and other ecosystems, therefore removal of such pollutants from soil is required. This study thus aimed to isolate and identify bacteria capable of biodegrading a persistent organic pollutant; dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) from a former DDT production unit. The soil was sampled, transported to Japan through standard protocols and bacteria were isolated and assayed for dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane (DDD) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) degradation. The concentration of DDTs in a composite soil sample was 0.7 mg kg−1. Twenty-four bacterial strains were isolated from DDT-contaminated soil, and one of them, strain 885, showed degradation of DDT but could not degrade DDE after 14 days of incubation. This strain also showed significant degradation of 15.6 µM DDD (degradation rate 55.9%) after 28 days incubation. Further metabolites of DDT including 2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl) ethanol (DDOH) and 4,4-dichlorobenzophenone (DBP) were detected from a 14-day incubation culture with DDD as initial substrate. Strain 885 also showed degradation of metabolites of DDT including those of DDOH, and DBP. In conclusion, strain 885 successfully degraded DDT; therefore, it can be used for remediation of DDT-contaminated soil.

description: Mapping the Galactic spiral structure is a difficult task since the Sun is located in the Galactic plane and because of dust extinction. For these reasons, molecular masers in radio wavelengths have been used with great success to trace the Milky Way spiral arms. Recently, Gaia parallaxes have helped in investigating the spiral structure in the Solar extended neighborhood. In this paper, we propose to determine the location of the spiral arms using Cepheids since they are bright, young supergiants with accurate distances (they are the first ladder of the extragalactic distance scale). They can be observed at very large distances; therefore, we need to take the Galactic warp into account. Thanks to updated mid-infrared photometry and to the most complete catalog of Galactic Cepheids, we derived the parameters of the warp using a robust regression method. Using a clustering algorithm, we identified groups of Cepheids after having corrected their Galactocentric distances from the (small) effects of the warp. We derived new parameters for the Galactic warp, and we show that the warp cannot be responsible for the increased dispersion of abundance gradients in the outer disk reported in previous studies. We show that Cepheids can be used to trace spiral arms, even at large distances from the Sun. The groups we identify are consistent with previous studies explicitly deriving the position of spiral arms using young tracers (masers, OB(A) stars) or mapping overdensities of upper main-sequence stars in the Solar neighborhood thanks to Gaia data.

description: At the heart of technology transitions lie complex processes of social and industrial dynamics. The quantitative study of sustainability transitions requires modelling work, which necessitates a theory of technology substitution. Many, if not most, contemporary modelling approaches for future technology pathways overlook most aspects of transitions theory, for instance dimensions of heterogenous investor choices, dynamic rates of diffusion and the profile of transitions. A significant body of literature however exists that demonstrates how transitions follow S-shaped diffusion curves or Lotka-Volterra systems of equations. This framework is used ex-post since timescales can only be reliably obtained in cases where the transitions have already occurred, precluding its use for studying cases of interest where nascent innovations in protective niches await favourable conditions for their diffusion. In principle, scaling parameters of transitions can, however, be derived from knowledge of industrial dynamics, technology turnover rates and technology characteristics. In this context, this paper presents a theory framework for evaluating the parameterisation of S-shaped diffusion curves for use in simulation models of technology transitions without the involvement of historical data fitting, making use of standard demography theory applied to technology at the unit level. The classic Lotka-Volterra competition system emerges from first principles from demography theory, its timescales explained in terms of technology lifetimes and industrial dynamics. The theory is placed in the context of the multi-level perspective on technology transitions, where innovation and the diffusion of new socio-technical regimes take a prominent place, as well as discrete choice theory, the primary theoretical framework for introducing agent diversity.

description: The existence of water dimers in equilibrium water vapor at room temperature and their anomalous properties revealed by recent studies suggest the benchmark role of water dimer in both experiment and theory. However, there has been a limited observation of individual water dimers due to the challenge of water separation and generation at the single-molecule level. Here, we achieve real-space imaging of individual confined water dimers embedded inside self-assembled layer of a DNA base, adenine, on Ag(111). The hydration of the adenine layers by these water dimers causes a local surface chiral inversion in a way that the neighboring homochiral adenine molecules become heterochiral after hydration, resulting in a mismatched hydrogen-bond pattern between neighboring adenine molecules. Furthermore, the mutual influence between the adenine superstructure and these dynamic confined water dimers is corroborated by theoretical simulation and calculations. The observation of single confined water dimers offers an unprecedented approach to studying the fundamental forms of water clusters and their interaction with the local chemical environment.

description: The role of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and concomitant end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains unknown. The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) (2002–2017) was queried to identify all cases of CAD and ESRD. The relative merits of PCI vs CABG were determined using a propensity-matched multivariate logistic regression model. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for mortality and other in-hospital complications were calculated. A total of 350,623 [CABG = 112,099 (32%) and PCI = 238,524 (68%)] hospitalizations were included in the analysis. The overall adjusted odds for major bleeding (aOR 1.28, 95% CI 1.25–1.31, P < 0.0001), post-procedure bleeding (aOR 5.19, 95% CI 4.93–5.47, P < 0.0001), sepsis (aOR 1.29, 95% CI 1.26–1.33, P < 0.0001), cardiogenic shock (aOR 1.23, 95% CI 1.20–1.26, P < 0.0001), and in-hospital mortality (aOR 1.65, 95% CI 1.61–1.69, P < 0.0001) were significantly higher for patients undergoing CABG compared with PCI. The need for intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) placement (aOR 2.52, 95% CI 2.45–2.59, P < 0.001) was higher in the CABG group, while the adjusted odds of vascular complications were similar between the two groups (aOR 0.99, 95% CI 0.94–1.06, P = 0.82). As expected, patients undergoing CABG had a higher mean length of stay and mean cost of hospitalization. CABG in ESRD may be associated with higher in-hospital complications, increased length of stay, and higher resource utilization.

This comes in contrast with the dimension 2 case, where by a partial case of a result of Zapolsky, an opposite statement holds.

description: With the ever-growing interest in quantum computing, understanding the behaviour of excitons in monolayer quantum dots has become a topic of great relevance. In this paper, we consider a Wannier exciton confined in a triangular quantum dot of hexagonal Boron Nitride. We begin by outlining the adequate basis functions to describe a particle in a triangular enclosure, analyzing their degeneracy and symmetries. Afterwards, we discuss the excitonic hamiltonian inside the quantum dot and study the influence of the quantum dot dimensions on the excitonic states.

description: Anisotropic flow is accredited to have effects from the initial state geometry and fluctuations in the nuclear overlap region. The elliptic flow ($v_2$) and triangular flow ($v_3$) coefficients of the final state particles are expected to have influenced by eccentricity ($\varepsilon_2$) and triangularity ($\varepsilon_3$) of the participants, respectively. In this work, we study $v_2$, $v_3$, $\varepsilon_2$, $\varepsilon_3$ and the correlations among them with respect to event topology in the framework of a multi-phase transport model (AMPT). We use transverse spherocity and reduced flow vector as event shape classifiers in this study. Transverse spherocity has the unique ability to separate events based on geometrical shapes, i.e., jetty and isotropic, which pertain to pQCD and non-pQCD domains of particle production in high-energy physics, respectively. We use the two-particle correlation method to study different anisotropic flow coefficients. We confront transverse spherocity with a more widely used event shape classifier -- reduced flow vector ($q_n$) and they are found to have significant (anti-)correlations among them. We observe significant spherocity dependence on $v_2$, $v_3$ and $\varepsilon_2$. This work also addresses transverse momentum dependent crossing points between $v_2$ and $v_3$, which varies for different centrality and spherocity percentiles.

description: We propose to implement tunable interfaces for realizing universal quantum computation with topological qubits. One interface is between the topological and superconducting qubits, which can realize arbitrary single-qubit gate on the topological qubit. When two qubits are involved, the interface between the topological qubits and a microwave cavity can induce a nontrivial two-qubit gate, which can not be constructed based on braiding operations. The two interfaces, being tunable via an external magnetic flux, may serve as the building blocks towards universal quantum computation with topological qubits.

description: Objective: To explore the effect of far-infrared therapeutic apparatus combined with path-based rehabilitation on the health of internal fistula blood vessels in patients with hemodialysis. Methods: In this study, 136 participants were admitted who had hemodialysis at our hospital between March 2019 and March 2021. They were divided into two groups based on their admission orders: a control group and a study group, each comprising 68 cases. Traditional rehabilitative nurse intervention was offered to the control group. On this basis, the study group received a far-infrared therapy device together with a path-based rehabilitation intervention, and the two groups' quality of life, dialysis adequacy, internal fistula blood flow, complication rate, and satisfaction were compared. Results: After the intervention, the VAS and PSQI scores were lower than those before the intervention, and the EQ-5D scores were higher than those. The study group's VAS and PSQI scores were substantially reduced than the control group's, but the EQ-5D scores were significantly higher than the control group's (P< 0.05); After the intervention, both groups' BUN and 24 h urine protein levels were lower than before the intervention, although their URR and KT/V were higher. KT/V were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05); the internal fistula blood flow and dialysis blood flow in the two groups increased significantly after 1 week of intervention and 1 month after intervention, and the fistula blood flow and dialysis blood flow in the study group were higher than those in the control group significantly increased (P<0.05); after intervention, the incidence of internal fistula vascular complications in the study group was 5.88%, which was significantly lower than that in the control group, 16.18% (P<0.05). 86.76% (P<0.05). Conclusion: The intervention of far-infrared therapeutic apparatus combined with path-based rehabilitation for hemodialysis patients can significantly improve the quality of life and dialysis adequacy, regulate the vascular circulation of internal fistulas, reduce the risk of adverse events, and improve nursing satisfaction, which is worthy of extensive clinical promotion.

description: The purpose of this thesis is finding the most effective temperature control strategy for use in drying units in drywall production factories. To accomplish this, the methodology used involves recognizing the mathematical model which describes this process. This was achieved with the help of input/output measurements of the process obtained in the Knauf. factory drying unit. Afterwards, the controller was configured using Lambda, Ziegler-Nichols and Cohen-Coon methods, which were applied consecutively to three possible scenarios of models and controllers. The results of these scenarios determine the ideal mathematical model which describes the process of the drying unit as well as the most effective method of configuring the possible controller.

description: In this paper, an unrolling algorithm of the iterative subspace-based optimization method (SOM) is proposed for solving full-wave inverse scattering problems (ISPs). The unrolling network, named SOM-Net, inherently embeds the Lippmann- Schwinger physical model into the design of network structures. The SOM-Net takes the deterministic induced current and the raw permittivity image obtained from back-propagation (BP) as the input. It then updates the induced current and the permittivity successively in sub-network blocks of the SOM- Net by imitating iterations of the SOM. The final output of the SOM-Net is the full predicted induced current, from which the scattered field and the permittivity image can also be deduced analytically. The parameters of the SOM-Net are optimized in a supervised manner with the total loss to simultaneously ensure the consistency of the induced current, the scattered field, and the permittivity in the governing equations. Numerical tests on both synthetic and experimental data verify the superior performance of the proposed SOM-Net over typical ones. The results on challenging examples like scatterers with tough profiles or high permittivity demonstrate the good generalization ability of the SOM-Net. With the use of deep unrolling technology, this work builds a bridge between traditional iterative methods and deep learning methods for solving ISPs.

description: Background: There are few studies and reports on combined antithyroid drugs in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Objective: To evaluate the influence of propylthiouracil together with bisoprolol on the levels of miR-206, IL-17, and 2-MG in hyperthyroid patients. Method: From January 2018 to June 2021, 80 individuals with hyperthyroidism were admitted to a hospital. In the study, 80 participants are randomly assigned to control and test groups. The control group received propylthiooxide pyrimidine, whereas the test group received combination bisoprolol. Thyroid indicators, serum indicators, blood lipid metabolism indicators, therapeutic effects, and the incidence of adverse responses were examined and assessed in both groups.Results: Post therapy, the levels of TT3, TT4, and TPOAb in both groups were considerably lower than Prior treatment, whereas TSH was significantly increased (P < 0.05). The decline in TT3, TT4, and TPOAb levels were larger in the study group than in the control group, while the TSH level increased.

description: Micromagnetic exchange is usually derived by performing the continuum limit of the Heisenberg model on a cubic lattice, where the exchange integrals are assumed to be identical for all nearest neighbors. This limitation normally imposes the use of a microscopic theory to explain the appearance of higher order magnetic interactions such as the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). In this paper we combine graph- and gauge field- theory to simultaneously account for the symmetries of the crystal, the effect of spin-orbit coupling and their interplay on a micromagnetic level. We obtain a micromagnetic theory accounting for the crystal symmetry constraints at all orders in exchange and show how to successfully predict the form of micromagnetic DMI in all 32 point groups.

description: This document constitutes Deliverable D7.7. The deliverable is titled “D7.7: Report on legal and ethics monitoring v1.0: Initial report”. It is the result of the work conducted in WP7, Task 7.4 “Legal framework, ethics & gender balance”. This document provides the reader with an initial report on 5G-ROUTES project activities related to legal, ethics, and gender concerns. This initial report (D7.7) defines legal, ethics, and gender guidelines to guide and drive the 5G-ROUTES partners when executing their project activities. The main purpose of this initial report is to create awareness about ethics, legal, and gender issues, as well as to create a mindset among all consortium members to avoid potential risks related to such issues. To do so, this report presents a set of common methods and procedures for the project research process, which should be applied by all consortium members. The guidelines and recommendations that constitutes the basis for the Research Ethics Protocol are defined according to and in order to ensure compliance with the current legal and ethics framework. In this respect, 5GROUTES Consortium partners commit to adhere to fundamental ethical principles and relevant national, Union and international legislation, including the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (2000/c 364/01), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, and the European Convention on Human Rights. In relation to the ethics issues, the respective ethics protocols included in this report materialise this commitment by identifying the partner’s responsibilities and describing the procedures and methodology to ensure that 5G-ROUTES research activities, test beds and field trial use cases are ethically sound. Throughout the project, the 5G-ROUTES partners will adhere to the Research Ethics Protocol in their work and its implementation will be monitored and refined including an update on the review procedures: the second version of this document (D7.8 “Report on legal and ethics monitoring final version”) will be delivered at month 35 just before the end of project on month 36. Compliance of the 5G-ROUTES project research activities and field tests, with legislation, ethics standards and guidelines will be also reinforced and assured with the establishment of the Ethics Panel of experts.

description: We report the discovery of giant (50-100 kpc) [O II] emitting nebulae with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) in the field of TXS 0206-048, a luminous quasar at z=1.13. Down-the-barrel UV spectra of the quasar show absorption at velocities coincident with those of the extended nebulae, enabling new insights into inflows and outflows around the quasar host. One nebula exhibits a filamentary morphology extending over 120 kpc from the halo toward the quasar and intersecting with another nebula surrounding the quasar host with a radius of 50 kpc. This is the longest cool filament observed to-date and arises at higher redshift and in a less massive system than those in cool-core clusters. The filamentary nebula has line-of-sight velocities >300 km/s from nearby galaxies but matches that of the nebula surrounding the quasar host where they intersect, consistent with accretion of cool inter- or circum-galactic medium or cooling hot halo gas. The kinematics of the nebulae surrounding the quasar host are unusual and complex, with redshifted and blueshifted spiral-like structures. The emission velocities at 5-10 kpc from the quasar match those of inflowing absorbing gas observed in UV spectra of the quasar. Together, the extended nebulae and associated redshifted absorption represent a compelling case of cool, filamentary gas accretion from halo scales into the extended interstellar medium and toward the nucleus of a massive quasar host. The inflow rate implied by the combined emission and absorption constraints is well below levels required to sustain the quasar's radiative luminosity, suggesting anisotropic or variable accretion.

description: Over the last years, a rapid growth in the development of applications that are based on Convolutional Neural Networks is observed.
Despite of the large advances in processor units, the use of computer
vision tasks is still challenging in resource constrained platforms. This
thesis will present four toolkits, that accelerate the performance of
inference applications by targeting the processor units from the top
hardware vendors; Intel, Nvidia, Arm and Xilinx. In order to achieve
optimal execution, the toolkits exploit the hardware acceleration that
processors provide, as well as special processor units and platforms,
which are specially developed for deep learning inference tasks. The
most well-known models for each task are described, alongside with
the frameworks that the toolkits support and are used for model representation. Last but not least, real-world performance results are
collected for different batches of images, in order to achieve a performance landscape of the existing tools.
