description: The SHETLAND-NET research project aims to develop an Internet of Things (IoT) telemetry service in Antarctica by interconnecting Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) through Near Vertical Incidence Skywave radio links (NVIS) that build a Long Fat Network (LFN). This architecture presents some typical properties of the so-called challenging networks, which require an evaluation of the viability of the proposed solution and an analysis of which transport protocol can provide greater reliability for this use case. For this purpose, a layer-based heterogeneous trustworthiness model is defined and presented. Through extensive simulations, the model is validated, different transport protocols are compared, and the reliability of the system is evaluated.

description: We use a novel form of quantum conditional probability to define new measures of quantum information in a dynamical context. We explore relationships between our new quantities and standard measures of quantum information, such as von Neumann entropy. These quantities allow us to find new proofs of some standard results in quantum information theory, such as the concavity of von Neumann entropy and Holevo's theorem. The existence of an underlying probability distribution helps shed light on the conceptual underpinnings of these results.

title:  Implementing a Run-Time System Manager on partially reconfigurable FPGA systems
Creators: name: Χαριτοπουλος Γεωργιος
Publisher: name: Technical University of Crete
Year: 2015

description: The last few years FPGAs have penetrated the mainstream and have experienced wide usage through the users. Also the concept of reconfigurable computing has benefited numerous application domains, with FPGAs being the stronger representative of that. Partial reconfiguration technology can leverage these systems by swapping in and out task modules in an operating-system fashion. A task can be downloaded upon arrival or when needed, during the system operation. To this direction one of the most important parts of said embedded system is the Run Time System Manager.

Despite the fact that, during recent years, many Run Time System Managers have been proposed, very few of them have been implemented on a realistic FPGA system. Moreover due to the vast collection of platforms utilizing reconfigurable logic and their differences the realization of the RTSM on these machines becomes a highly customized
process. Thus the RTSM has to be as generic as possible in order to make it easier for the user to implement our RTSM in different reconfigurable platforms.

In this thesis we present the design and implementation of an RTSM we have crafted that operates and manages multiple reconfigurable platforms created by different vendors (albeit, all using Xilinx Virtex 5, 6, and Zynq series). We present the difficulties and the
design choices we had to make for the realization of our RTSM on each different platform. The RTSM is extended in order to be compared with a high level parallelism model, thus displaying the high generic and customizable fashion of our RTSM. Finally we evaluate our designs with different applications and assess the advantages and disadvantages of the applications chosen and their implementations to the respective platform.

description: We consider the minor process of (Hermitian) matrix diffusions with constant diagonal drifts. At any given time, this process is determinantal and we provide an explicit expression for its correlation kernel. This is a measure on the Gelfand-Tsetlin pattern that also appears in a generalization of Warren's process, in which Brownian motions have level-dependent drifts. Finally, we show that this process arises in a diffusion scaling limit from an interacting particle system in the anisotropic KPZ class in 2+1 dimensions. Our results generalize the known results for the zero drift situation.

A sufficient connectivity condition for rigidity and global rigidity of linearly constrained frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^2$

description: We study the bar-and-joint frameworks in $\mathbb{R}^2$ such that some vertices are constrained to lie on some lines. The generic rigidity of such frameworks is characterised by Streinu and Theran (2010). Katoh and Tanigawa (2013) remarked that the corresponding matroid and its rank function can be characterised by using a submodular function. In this paper, we will transfer this characterisation of the rank function to the form of the value of a ``1-thin cover" and obtain a sufficient connectivity condition for rigidity and global rigidity of these frameworks analogous to the results of Lovász and Yemini (1982).

description: Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication is a core technology for enabling safety and non-safety applications in next generation Intelligent Transportation Systems. Due to relatively low heights of the antennas, V2V communication is often influenced by topographic features, man-made structures, and other vehicles located between the communicating vehicles. On highways, it was shown experimentally that vehicles can obstruct the line of sight (LOS) communication up to 50 percent of the time; furthermore, a single obstructing vehicle can reduce the power at the receiver by more than 20 dB. Based on both experimental measurements and simulations performed using a validated channel model, we show that the elevated position of antennas on tall vehicles improves communication performance. Tall vehicles can significantly increase the effective communication range, with an improvement of up to 50 percent in certain scenarios. Using these findings, we propose a new V2V relaying scheme called Tall Vehicle Relaying (TVR) that takes advantage of better channel characteristics provided by tall vehicles. TVR distinguishes between tall and short vehicles and, where appropriate, chooses tall vehicles as next hop relays. We investigate TVR's system-level performance through a combination of link-level experiments and system-level simulations and show that it outperforms existing techniques.

description: Software developers frequently refactor code. Often, a single logical refactoring change involves changing multiple related components in a source base such as renaming each occurrence of a variable or function. While many code editors can perform such common and generic refactorings, they do not support more complex refactorings or those that are specific to a given code base. For those, as a flexible - albeit less interactive - alternative, developers can write refactoring scripts that can implement arbitrarily complex logic by manipulating the program's tree representation. In this work, we present Forest, a structural code editor that aims to bridge the gap between the interactiveness of code editors and the expressiveness of refactoring scripts. While structural editors have occupied a niche as general code editors, the key insight of this work is that they enable a novel structural multi-cursor design that allows Forest to reach a similar expressiveness as refactoring scripts; Forest allows to perform a single action simultaneously in multiple program locations and thus support complex refactorings. To support interactivity, Forest provides features typical for text code editors such as writing and displaying the program through its textual representation. Our evaluation demonstrates that Forest allows performing edits similar to those from refactoring scripts, while still being interactive. We attempted to perform edits from 48 real-world refactoring scripts using Forest and found that 11 were possible, while another 17 would be possible with added features. We believe that a multi-cursor setting plays to the strengths of structural editing, since it benefits from reliable and expressive commands. Our results suggest that multi-cursor structural editors could be practical for performing small-scale specialized refactorings.

description: 3D gaze estimation is about predicting the line of sight of a person in 3D space. Person-independent models for the same lack precision due to anatomical differences of subjects, whereas person-specific calibrated techniques add strict constraints on scalability. To overcome these issues, we propose a novel technique, Facial Landmark Heatmap Activated Multimodal Gaze Estimation (FLAME), as a way of combining eye anatomical information using eye landmark heatmaps to obtain precise gaze estimation without any person-specific calibration. Our evaluation demonstrates a competitive performance of about 10% improvement on benchmark datasets ColumbiaGaze and EYEDIAP. We also conduct an ablation study to validate our method.

description: Hyperbolic polynomials are real polynomials whose real hypersurfaces are nested ovaloids, the inner most of which is convex. These polynomials appear in many areas of mathematics, including optimization, combinatorics and differential equations. Here we investigate the special connection between a hyperbolic polynomial and the set of polynomials that interlace it. This set of interlacers is a convex cone, which we write as a linear slice of the cone of nonnegative polynomials. In particular, this allows us to realize any hyperbolicity cone as a slice of the cone of nonnegative polynomials. Using a sums of squares relaxation, we then approximate a hyperbolicity cone by the projection of a spectrahedron. A multiaffine example coming from the Vamos matroid shows that this relaxation is not always exact. Using this theory, we characterize the real stable multiaffine polynomials that have a definite determinantal representation and construct one when it exists.

description: In this paper we discuss the results of some Molecular Dynamics simulations of a magnetized One Component Plasma, targeted to estimate the diffusion coefficient $D_{\perp}$ in the plane orthogonal to the magnetic field lines. We find that there exists a threshold with respect to the magnetic field strength $|\vec B|$: for weak magnetic field the diffusion coefficients scales as $1/|\vec B|^2$, while a slower decay appears at high field strength. The relation of this transition with the different mixing properties of the microscopic dynamics is investigated by looking at the behavior of the velocity auto correlation.

Έτσι παρέχεται η δυνατότητα στον επισκέπτη να μελετήσει 3D μοντέλα των εκθεμάτων, όπως θα συνέβαινε με την παρουσία του σε ένα φυσικό μουσείο ή έκθεση.
Για το σχεδιασμό των 3D εκθεμάτων ενός Ιδεατού Μουσείου χρησιμοποιούνται διάφορες μέθοδοι λήψης δεδομένων και σχεδίασης. Η μέθοδος λήψης δεδομένων με την οποία ασχολείται η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, αφορά τη λήψη φωτογραφιών ενός εκθέματος από διάφορες γωνίες εντός 360 μοιρών, με στόχο την τελική χρήση των φωτογραφιών για μελλοντική δημιουργία του 3D μοντέλου του εκθέματος.
Για την υλοποίηση της παραπάνω εφαρμογής, κατασκευάστηκε ένα σύστημα στρεφόμενης πλατφόρμας για την υποστήριξη του εκθέματος και την επακόλουθη φωτογράφισή του. Η κίνηση της πλατφόρμας είναι βασισμένη σε βηματικό κινητήρα (stepper motor) ενώ ο έλεγχος του συστήματος βασίζεται σε μικροελεγκτή AVR, τον ATmega8515.
Για τη διεπαφή του συστήματος με το χρήστη, αναπτύχθηκε εφαρμογή Windows, από την οποία ο χρήστης μπορεί να χειριστεί το σύστημα και να επιλέξει τις επιθυμητές γωνίες λήψης. Η εφαρμογή είναι επίσης υπεύθυνη για τη φωτογράφιση του εκθέματος μέσω της ενεργοποίησης της web camera του υπολογιστή. Μετά τη φωτογράφιση του εκθέματος οι φωτογραφίες αποθηκεύονται σε ένα επιλεγμένο directory του υπολογιστή, από το οποίο ο χρήστης μπορεί να τις ανακτήσει και να τις χρησιμοποιήσει.
Μελλοντικά, οι φωτογραφίες μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν για την κατασκευή του 3D μοντέλου του εκάστοτε εκθέματος, ή να αποθηκευθούν σε κάποια βάση δεδομένων παράλληλα με πληροφορίες για το κάθε έκθεμα, με τελικό στόχο τη δημιουργία ενός πλήρους συστήματος Ιδεατού Μουσείου.

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) is already widely applied to applications such as robotics, but it is only sparsely used in sensor management. In this paper, we apply the popular Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) approach to a multi-agent UAV tracking scenario. While recorded data of real scenarios can accurately reflect the real world, the required amount of data is not always available. Simulation data, however, is typically cheap to generate, but the utilized target behavior is often naive and only vaguely represents the real world. In this paper, we utilize multi-agent RL to jointly generate protagonistic and antagonistic policies and overcome the data generation problem, as the policies are generated on-the-fly and adapt continuously. This way, we are able to clearly outperform baseline methods and robustly generate competitive policies. In addition, we investigate explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) by interpreting feature saliency and generating an easy-to-read decision tree as a simplified policy.

Wave-packet collapse and the core quantum postulates: Discreteness of quantum jumps from unitarity, repeatability, and actionable information

description: An unknown quantum state of a single system cannot be discovered, as a measured system is reprepare: it jumps into an eigenstate of the measured observable. This impossibility of finding the quantum state and other symptoms usually blamed on wave-packet collapse follow (as was recently demonstrated for pure states of measured systems) from unitarity (which does not, however, allow for a literal collapse) and from the repeatability of measurements: Continuous unitary evolution and repeatability suffice to establish the discreteness that underlies quantum jumps. Here we consider mixed states of a macroscopic, open system (such as an apparatus), and we allow its microscopic state to change when, e.g., measured by an observer, provided that its salient features remain unchanged and that observers regard macroscopic state of the pointer as representing the same record. We conclude that repeatably accessible states of macroscopic systems (such as the states of the apparatus pointer) must correspond to orthogonal subspaces in the Hilbert space. The symmetry breaking we exhibit defies the egalitarian quantum superposition principle and unitary symmetry of the Hilbert space, as it singles out preferred subspaces. We conclude that the resulting discreteness (which underlies quantum jumps) emerges from the continuity of the core quantum postulates plus repeatability also in macroscopic and open, but ultimately quantum systems such as measuring devices accessed by observers, where (in contrast with pure states of microsystems) repeatability is paramount.

General balance functions of identified charged hadron pairs of $(π,{\rm K},{\rm p})$ in Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76$ TeV

description: First measurements of balance functions (BFs) of all combinations of identified charged hadron $(π,\rm K,\rm p)$ pairs in Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76$ TeV recorded by the ALICE detector are presented. The BF measurements are carried out as two-dimensional differential correlators versus the relative rapidity ($Δy$) and azimuthal angle ($Δφ$) of hadron pairs, and studied as a function of collision centrality. The $Δφ$ dependence of BFs is expected to be sensitive to the light quark diffusivity in the quark$-$gluon plasma. While the BF azimuthal widths of all pairs substantially decrease from peripheral to central collisions, the longitudinal widths exhibit mixed behaviors: BFs of $ππ$ and cross-species pairs narrow significantly in more central collisions, whereas those of $\rm KK$ and $\rm pp$ are found to be independent of collision centrality. This dichotomy is qualitatively consistent with the presence of strong radial flow effects and the existence of two stages of quark production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Finally, the first measurements of the collision centrality evolution of BF integrals are presented, with the observation that charge balancing fractions are nearly independent of collision centrality in Pb$-$Pb collisions. Overall, the results presented provide new and challenging constraints for theoretical models of hadron production and transport in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.

description: The entropy maximum approach (Maxent) was developed as a minimization of the subjective uncertainty measured by the Boltzmann--Gibbs--Shannon entropy. Many new entropies have been invented in the second half of the 20th century. Now there exists a rich choice of entropies for fitting needs. This diversity of entropies gave rise to a Maxent "anarchism". Maxent approach is now the conditional maximization of an appropriate entropy for the evaluation of the probability distribution when our information is partial and incomplete. The rich choice of non-classical entropies causes a new problem: which entropy is better for a given class of applications? We understand entropy as a measure of uncertainty which increases in Markov processes. In this work, we describe the most general ordering of the distribution space, with respect to which all continuous-time Markov processes are monotonic (the Markov order). For inference, this approach results in a set of conditionally "most random" distributions. Each distribution from this set is a maximizer of its own entropy. This "uncertainty of uncertainty" is unavoidable in analysis of non-equilibrium systems. Surprisingly, the constructive description of this set of maximizers is possible. Two decomposition theorems for Markov processes provide a tool for this description.

description: In the past three decades, a large body of data on the effects of exposure to ionizing radiation and the ensuing changes in gene expression has been generated. These data have allowed for an understanding of molecular-level events and shown a level of consistency in response despite the vast formats and experimental procedures being used across institutions. However, clarity on how this information may inform strategies for health risk assessment needs to be explored. An approach to bridge this gap is the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) framework. AOPs represent an illustrative framework characterizing a stressor associated with a sequential set of causally linked key events (KEs) at different levels of biological organization, beginning with a molecular initiating event (MIE) and culminating in an adverse outcome (AO). Here, we demonstrate the interpretation of transcriptomic datasets in the context of the AOP framework within the field of ionizing radiation by using a lung cancer AOP (AOP 272: https://www.aopwiki.org/aops/272) as a case example. Through the mining of the literature, radiation exposure-related transcriptomic studies in line with AOP 272 related to lung cancer, DNA damage response, and repair were identified. The differentially expressed genes within relevant studies were collated and subjected to the pathway and network analysis using Reactome and GeneMANIA platforms. Identified pathways were filtered (p < 0.001, ≥ 3 genes) and categorized based on relevance to KEs in the AOP. Gene connectivities were identified and further grouped by gene expression-informed associated events (AEs). Relevant quantitative dose-response data were used to inform the directionality in the expression of the genes in the network across AEs. Reactome analyses identified 7 high-level biological processes with multiple pathways and associated genes that mapped to potential KEs in AOP 272. The gene connectivities were further represented as a network of AEs with associated expression profiles that highlighted patterns of gene expression levels. This study demonstrates the application of transcriptomics data in AOP development and provides information on potential data gaps. Although the approach is new and anticipated to evolve, it shows promise for improving the understanding of underlying mechanisms of disease progression with a long-term vision to be predictive of adverse outcomes.

•	 Στο δεύτερο μέρος του πειράματος, πραγματοποιήθηκε σειρά πειραματικών μετρήσεων για να καταστεί εφικτή η σύγκριση  της ενεργειακής απόδοσης τεσσάρων (4) φωτοβολταϊκών πλαισίων σε καθένα εκ των οποίων είχε τοποθετηθεί διάταξη ψύξης και ΥΑΦ με διαφορετικά χαρακτηριστικά ενώ ένα Φ/Β χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως αναφοράς.
Οι μετρήσεις και στις 2 φάσεις διενεργήθηκαν κάνοντας χρήση ηλεκτρονικής συσκευής του Εργαστηρίου ‘’Ανανεώσιμων και Βιώσιμων Ενεργειακών Συστημάτων’’ και του λογισμικού Realterm.
Αρχικά,  γίνεται μια γενική αναφορά στο θέμα των ΑΠΕ καθώς και του Φ/Β φαινομένου, έπειτα παρουσιάζονται παρόμοιες τεχνικές που έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί στο παρελθόν σχετικά με τη χρήση των ΥΑΦ στα φωτοβολταϊκά πλαίσια. Επιπλέον, περιέχονται κάποια θεωρητικά στοιχεία γύρω από τα ΥΑΦ. Tα αποτελέσματα παρουσιάζονται υπό μορφή διαγραμμάτων και πινάκων, και έπειτα γίνεται ανάλυση και αξιολόγηση τους προκειμένου να προκύψουν κάποια συμπεράσματα. Τέλος, γίνεται αναφορά σε συγκεκριμένες προτάσεις για περαιτέρω αξιοποίηση της παρούσας μελέτης, καθώς οι εφαρμογές ΥΑΦ βρίσκονται σε πρώιμο στάδιο.

description: Fourier phasing is the problem of retrieving Fourier phase information from Fourier intensity data. The standard Fourier phase retrieval (without a mask) is known to have many solutions which cause the standard phasing algorithms to stagnate and produce wrong or inaccurate solutions. In this paper Fourier phase retrieval is carried out with the introduction of a randomly fabricated mask in measurement and reconstruction. Highly probable uniqueness of solution, up to a global phase, was previously proved with exact knowledge of the mask. Here the uniqueness result is extended to the case where only rough information about the mask's phases is assumed. The exponential probability bound for uniqueness is given in terms of the uncertainty-to-diversity ratio (UDR) of the unknown mask. New phasing algorithms alternating between the object update and the mask update are systematically tested and demonstrated to have the capability of recovering both the object and the mask (within the object support) simultaneously, consistent with the uniqueness result. Phasing with a phase-uncertain mask is shown to be robust with respect to the correlation in the mask as well as the Gaussian and Poisson noises.

description: Embedded and personal IoT devices are powered by microcontroller units (MCUs), whose extreme resource scarcity is a major obstacle for applications relying on on-device deep learning inference. Orders of magnitude less storage, memory and computational capacity, compared to what is typically required to execute neural networks, impose strict structural constraints on the network architecture and call for specialist model compression methodology. In this work, we present a differentiable structured network pruning method for convolutional neural networks, which integrates a model's MCU-specific resource usage and parameter importance feedback to obtain highly compressed yet accurate classification models. Our methodology (a) improves key resource usage of models up to 80x; (b) prunes iteratively while a model is trained, resulting in little to no overhead or even improved training time; (c) produces compressed models with matching or improved resource usage up to 1.4x in less time compared to prior MCU-specific methods. Compressed models are available for download.

description: In the studies of network structures, much attention has been devoted to developing approaches to reconstruct networks and predict missing links when edge-related information is given. However, such approaches are not applicable when we are only given noisy node activity data with missing values. This work presents an unsupervised learning framework to learn node vectors and construct networks from such node activity data. First, we design a scheme to generate random node sequences from node context sets, which are generated from node activity data. Then, a three-layer neural network is adopted training the node sequences to obtain node vectors, which allow us to construct networks and capture nodes with synergistic roles. Furthermore, we present an entropy-based approach to select the most meaningful neighbors for each node in the resulting network. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is validated through both synthetic and real data.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία είναι μία προσπάθεια να αναλυθεί εκτενέστερα η λειτουργία του σχεδιαστικού προγράμματος AutoCAD της τελευταίας έκδοσης 2018. Ο λόγος για την ανάλυση του προαναφερθέντος λογισμικού είναι διότι πρόκειται για ένα σημαντικό εργαλείο πού κάθε μηχανικός πρέπει να γνωρίζει να χειρίζεται ώστε να μπορεί να φέρνει εις πέρας περίπλοκες σχεδιαστικές εφαρμογές που αφορούν το περιβάλλον, να συνεργάζεται με άλλους επιστήμονες του χώρου και να αξιολογεί περιβαλλοντικά σχεδία. Η αξιοποίηση των δεδομένων σχεδιασμού σε ψηφιακή μορφή καθιστά τη συνεργασία και την επικοινωνία των μηχανικών πολύ απλούστερη. Σε ένα κόσμο όπου ο εννοιολογικός σχεδιασμός, η μηχανική και η κατασκευή γίνονται συχνά σε διαφορετικά μέρη ,επιχειρήσεις και γραφεία, το AutoCAD επιτρέπει στους μηχανικούς να επικοινωνούν εύκολα και γρήγορα. Το λογισμικό έχει τεράστιες δυνατότητες και ανταποκρίνεται σε όλους τους τομείς της μηχανικής. Φυσικά λοιπόν , η χρήση του στον τομέα της περιβαλλοντικής μηχανικής έχει εξέχουσα σημασία. Παρατηρούμε ότι διατρέχει καθοριστικό ρόλο σε πάρα πολλές περιβαλλοντικές εφαρμογές, συμβάλλει στη βελτίωση του σχεδιασμού τους και της μετέπειτα παρακολούθησης και πορείας τους. Εκτός από αυτές τις εφαρμογές , το AutoCAD χρησιμοποιείται και για την υλοποίηση σχεδίων πολιτιστικού χαρακτήρα, όπως η εφαρμογή που έλαβε χώρα στη παρούσα εργασία και αφορά την τοπογραφική απεικόνιση του εθνικού Σταδίου Χανίων με χρήση GPS χειρός και περεταίρω σχεδίαση στο AutoCAD. Η εφαρμογή αυτή είχε ως απώτερο σκοπό την εξοικείωση με το πρόγραμμα και την βαθύτερη κατανόηση των δυνατοτήτων του.

description: Several recent works have addressed the ability of deep learning to disclose rich, hierarchical and discriminative models for the most diverse purposes. Specifically in the super-resolution field, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) using different deep learning approaches attempt to recover realistic texture and fine grained details from low resolution images. In this work we explore the viability of these approaches for iris Super-Resolution (SR) in an iris recognition environment. For this, we test different architectures with and without a so called image re-projection to reduce artifacts applying it to different iris databases to verify the viability of the different CNNs for iris super-resolution. Results show that CNNs and image re-projection can improve the results specially for the accuracy of recognition systems using a complete different training database performing the transfer learning successfully.

description: Δύο από τους σημαντικότερους τομείς μελέτης στη σύγχρονη κοινωνία αποτελούν ο τομέας των κατασκευών και η προστασία του περιβάλλοντος. Δύο αλληλένδετοι κλάδοι όπου ο ένας εξυπηρετεί τις ανάγκες του άλλου με πάρα πολλά και διαφορετικά πεδία εφαρμογής. Στα πλαίσια της παρούσας διατριβής μελετάται η σχέση ανάμεσα στη διαχείριση αποβλήτων αμιαντοτσιμέντου και στην χρησιμοποίησή τους από τον κατασκευαστικό τομέα.
Συγκεκριμένα, το αμιαντοτσιμέντο που αποτελεί κίνδυνο για την ανθρώπινη υγεία και αποτελεί μία από τις συνηθέστερες εφαρμογές αμιαντούχων υλικών, υπέστη επεξεργασία για την αποτοξικοποίηση και χρησιμοποίησή του ως ενισχυτικό υλικό στην παρασκευή δοκιμίων σκυροδέματος. Χρησιμοποιήθηκαν τέσσερις διαφορετικές μορφές επεξεργασμένου αμιαντοτσιμέντου η παρασκευή των οποίων διέφερε τόσο στον τρόπο επεξεργασίας όσο και στην χρονική διάρκεια που απαιτήθηκε. Παρήχθησαν αρκετές σειρές δοκιμίων με διαφορετικές αναλογίες από τα εξεταζόμενα υλικά για να μελετηθεί ο τρόπος που καθένα από αυτά επηρεάζει τις μηχανικές ιδιότητες του σκυροδέματος. Τα αποτελέσματα των δοκιμίων αυτών συγκρίθηκαν με ένα δοκίμιο αναφοράς πρότυπων συνθηκών χωρίς προσθήκη επεξεργασμένου αμιαντοτσιμέντου και με ένα δοκίμιο στο οποίο είχε προστεθεί έτοιμο εμπορικό ενισχυτικό υλικό παρόμοιων ιδιοτήτων και χαρακτηριστικών με τα εξεταζόμενα. Η κοκκομετρική ανάλυση, η δοκιμή Chapelle, η μέθοδος UPV, η φασματοσκοπία ακτίνων Χ φθορισμού (XRF) όπως και η τεχνική περίθλασης ακτίνων Χ (XRD) των επιμέρους υλικών είναι κάποιες από τις μεθόδους που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν.
Από τις ανωτέρω περιγραφόμενες μεθόδους προέκυψαν πολύ ικανοποιητικά αποτελέσματα όσον αφορά τη χρήση των εξεταζόμενων υλικών ως πρόσθετα ενισχυτικά σκυροδέματος. Τα επεξεργασμένα αυτά υλικά αμιαντοτσιμέντου προσέδωσαν στα δοκίμια μηχανικές ιδιότητες παρόμοιες ή και ακόμα καλύτερες από αυτές του ήδη χρησιμοποιούμενου εμπορικού υλικού.

description: We consider the binomial random set model $[n]_p$ where each element in $\{1,\dots,n\}$ is chosen independently with probability $p:=p(n)$. We show that for essentially all regimes of $p$ and very general conditions for a matrix $A$ and a column vector $\mathbf{b}$, the count of specific integer solutions to the system of linear equations $A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b}$ with the entries of $\mathbf{x}$ in $[n]_p$ follows a (conveniently rescaled) normal limiting distribution. This applies among others to the number of solutions with every variable having a different value, as well as to a broader class of so-called non-trivial solutions in homogeneous strictly balanced systems. Our proof relies on the delicate linear algebraic study both of the subjacent matrices and the corresponding ranks of certain submatrices, together with the application of the method of moments in probability theory.
