description: Στην εποχή που ο εκσυγχρονισμός και η πρόοδος στην τεχνολογία και στις επιστήμες βρίσκεται στο ζενίθ της, η προστασία του φυσικού περιβάλλοντος που μας περιβάλλει είναι σίγουρα στο ναδίρ. Ο πολίτης των πόλεων έρχεται σε επαφή με το φυσικό περιβάλλον μέσω του αστικού πρασίνου. Είναι ο χώρος όπου οι κάτοικοι επωφελούνται από παροχές που δεν μπορεί να τους προσφέρει το δομημένο περιβάλλον. Το αστικό κλίμα και τα οικοσυστήματα απειλούνται από την έλλειψη πράσινων υποδομών γεγονός που επηρεάζει άμεσα την εικόνα μιας πόλης και επιβαρύνει καθοριστικά τις συνθήκες διαβίωσης των κατοίκων της. Η παρούσα διπλωματική διερευνά στον ρόλο των πράσινων υποδομών στον αστικό ιστό των πόλεων μέσα από το πρίσμα της πόλης των Αθηνών, λαμβανομένη ως Μελέτη Περίπτωσης. Με γνώμονα τη θεώρηση της αναπόσπαστης συνύπαρξης του πρασίνου με τον αστικό ιστό, εκ της οποίας απορρέει το ασφαλές περίβλημα της ψυχικής υγείας των πολιτών, γίνεται σύντομη διαχρονική αναφορά στους Πράσινους Χώρους και στα γενικά χαρακτηριστικά τους. Στην συνέχεια πραγματοποιείται βιβλιογραφική έρευνα του νομικού πλαισίου που διέπει τους χώρους πρασίνου τόσο σε ελληνικό όσο και σε ευρωπαϊκό επίπεδο. Εν συνεχεία παρουσιάζεται ενδελεχώς η Περίπτωση της Αθήνας. Η παρούσα μελέτη εξελίχθηκε συντάσσοντας ένα ερωτηματολόγιο το οποίο διενεμήθη μέσω διαδικτύου σε τυχαίο δείγμα με την προϋπόθεση ή της κατοικίας ή της εργασίας εντός του Δήμου Αθηναίων, είτε της επισκεψιμότητας σε χώρους πρασίνου του Δήμου. Προηγήθηκε πιλοτική έρευνα μέσω ερωτηματολογίου και με το πέρας της αρχικής έρευνας επακολούθησε νεότερη με τροποποίηση της δειγματοληψίας που έλαβε χώρα μέσω των δημοτικών διαμερισμάτων του Δήμου Αθηναίων. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν υψηλή συσχέτιση της επισκεψιμότητας των ερωτηθέντων στους χώρους πρασίνου με τον τόπο κατοικίας τους. Παραλλήλως επηρεάζεται η συχνότητα μετάβαση στους εν λόγω χώρους τόσο από τον χρόνο όσο και από τον τρόπο μετάβασης σ αυτούς, που συνήθως είναι αντιστρόφως ανάλογα ποσά. Προκειμένου να έρθουν σε επαφή με τη φύση οι κάτοικοι μιας περιοχής είναι πρόθυμοι να μετακινηθούν, με κάποιες επιμέρους μεταβολές που σχετίζονται με τα δημογραφικά τους στοιχεία. Εν κατακλείδι, τα οφέλη του πρασίνου στην υγεία, τις κοινωνικές σχέσεις, την ευεξία και την αποβολή του άγχους είναι κοινώς αποδεκτά. Γενικεύοντας, το αστικό πράσινο είναι η αμεσότερη επαφή του σύγχρονου πολίτη των αστέων με το φυσικό περιβάλλον και η επαφή με αυτό βελτιώνει αναντίρρητα και αποκλειστικά την ποιότητα ζωής των χρηστών.
Graph Learning in Recommender Systems: Toward Structures and Causality
Creators: name: Li, Xiaohan
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Recently, researchers have been exploring the application of machine learning techniques to learn the characteristics of graphs from raw data, a field known as graph learning. Graph learning is particularly useful in Recommender Systems (RS), where objects such as users, items, and their attributes are closely connected and influence each other through various relationships. These systems are highly effective in mitigating the problem of information overload on the internet, by enabling users to find relevant products, songs, movies, or news quickly, based on their preferences and without extensive searching. The basic idea behind an RS is to model the relationships between users and items based on their past interactions. With the advancement of graph learning techniques, exploring and utilizing homogeneous and heterogeneous relationships within graphs holds immense potential for enhancing the effectiveness of RS. In this dissertation, I introduce four recent works about graph learning for recommender systems. In the first work, I propose a model named Dynamic Graph Collaborative Filtering (DGCF) based on dynamic graph learning to learn the changes in user and item embeddings. In the second work, a GNN-based model named RAM-GNN is proposed to learn the complex relations in the user and item graphs, respectively. In the third graph, I propose a causal graph indicating the frequency bias in the next-basket recommendation and a model based on machine learning is derived to solve the problem. In the last work, I propose a model based on the graph attention network to learn the item graph in session-based recommendation in a hyperbolic space.

description: We have carried out systematic fracture experiments in a single edge notch geometry over a range of stretch rates on dual crosslink hydrogels made from polyvinyl alcohol chains chemically crosslinked with glutaraldehyde and physically crosslinked with borate ions. If the energy release rate necessary for crack propagation was calculated conventionally, by using the work done to deform the sample to the critical value of stretch $λ_c$ where the crack propagates, we found that the fracture energy $Γ$ peaks around $λ\sim 0.001 s^{-1}$ before decreasing sharply with increasing stretch rate, in contradiction with the measurements of crack velocity. Combining simulations and experimental observations, we propose therefore here a general method to separate the energy dissipated during loading before crack propagation, from that which is dissipated during crack propagation. For fast loading rates (with a characteristic strain rate only slightly lower than the inverse of the typical breaking time of physical bonds), this improved method to estimate a local energy release rate $g_{local}$ at the onset of crack propagation, gives a value of the local fracture energy $Γ_{local}$ which is constant, consistent with the constant value of the crack propagation velocity measured experimentally. Using this improved method we also obtain the very interesting result that the dual crosslink gels have a much higher value of fracture energy at low loading rates than at high loading rates, contrary to the situation in classical chemically crosslinked elastic networks.

description: In Brazil, ethnic-racial inequalities exist in all fields, obstructing access to goods, services, and opportunities, including healthcare services. However, there are no apparent studies that assess, at a national level, ethnic-racial disparities in poisoning cases, emphasizing skin color as a determining factor. The study aimed to examine the relationship between race/ethnicity and general poisoning cases, by medications, pesticides, and drug of abuse in Brazilian states. Poisoning cases data were extracted for the years 2017, 2018, and 2019. Notification data for general poisoning cases and toxic agents were collected: medications, pesticides, and drugs of abuse. Data were categorized between whites and non-whites (blacks, browns, and indigenous) and without information on skin color/ethnicity. Rates of poisonings amongst ethnic-racial groups and cases of not declared skin color as well as relative risk (RR) of poisoning among non-whites were calculated. All states in the North, Northeast (states with the worst Human Development Index), Midwest, and 2 states in the Southeast exhibited higher rates of poisoning cases per 100,000 inhabitants among non-whites. The RR values for nonwhite individuals were higher in the North and Northeast regions for all types of poisonings. The type of poisoning cases that presented the highest RR for non-whites over the 3 years was drugs of abuse (2–2.44), when compared to other types of poisonings from pesticides (2–2.33) and medications (1.5–1.91). The spatial distribution of poisoning cases rates and RR of nonwhite population support public policies to reduce socioeconomic and environmental inequalities.

description: This work deals with a class of problems under interval data uncertainty, namely interval robust-hard problems, composed of interval data min-max regret generalizations of classical NP-hard combinatorial problems modeled as 0-1 integer linear programming problems. These problems are more challenging than other interval data min-max regret problems, as solely computing the cost of any feasible solution requires solving an instance of an NP-hard problem. The state-of-the-art exact algorithms in the literature are based on the generation of a possibly exponential number of cuts. As each cut separation involves the resolution of an NP-hard classical optimization problem, the size of the instances that can be solved efficiently is relatively small. To smooth this issue, we present a modeling technique for interval robust-hard problems in the context of a heuristic framework. The heuristic obtains feasible solutions by exploring dual information of a linearly relaxed model associated with the classical optimization problem counterpart. Computational experiments for interval data min-max regret versions of the restricted shortest path problem and the set covering problem show that our heuristic is able to find optimal or near-optimal solutions and also improves the primal bounds obtained by a state-of-the-art exact algorithm and a 2-approximation procedure for interval data min-max regret problems.

Multiple relaxation times in single-molecule magnets

description: Multiple relaxation times detected in the ac magnetic susceptibility of several single-molecule magnets have been always assigned to extrinsic factors, such as nonequivalent magnetic centers or effects of intermolecular interactions in the crystal. By solving quantum relaxation equations, we prove that the observed multiple relaxation times can be of intramolecular origin and can show up even in single-ion metal complexes. For the latter a remarkably good description of the coexistent two relaxation times is demonstrated on several experimental examples. This proves the relevance of the intramolecular mechanism of multiple relaxation times in such systems, which is even easier justified in polynuclear magnetic complexes.

Does Culture Alter the Effect of Schizotypal Traits on Autobiographical Speech?
Creators: name: Dumett Torres, Elisa
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: To date, the evidence of whether culture has a meaningful effect on schizotypy presentation remains heavily mixed. There is recent evidence that schizophrenia-like experiences, often conceptualized as lending to a reduced sense of self, influence autobiographical speech and social behavior (Minor et al., 2015; Minor et al., 2017). The current study sought to clarify the effect of culture on schizotypy, and whether culture interacts with schizotypy traits to effect autobiographical speech. 121 undergraduate students enrolled in a psychology course at the University of Illinois at Chicago completed a demographics questionnaire, the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief Revised Updated (SPQ), and a semi-structed interview assessing autobiographical speech. Of these participants, 57 Hispanic, 39 Asian, and 26 White/Caucasian individuals were included in the statistical analysis, as all other cultural groups did not reach sufficient power. Interviews were coded using the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC; Pennebaker et al., 2007) and data was analyzed in R (4.0.2) using linear regression analysis. The current study found consistent evidence of a main effect of schizotypy traits (i.e., total SPQ score and the four SPQ factors) on autobiographical word use. No significant effect of culture on autobiographical word use nor any significant interaction with schizotypy traits was found. Cultural differences may shape expectations for individuals across phases of life, which may in term alter goal-related retrospection, self-concept, and perceived self-actualization. Further research should continue to assess whether culture has a significant effect on sense of self, autobiographical speech, and schizotypy among diverse groups.

Functional-renormalization-group analysis of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya and Heisenberg spin interactions on the kagome lattice

description: We investigate the effects of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interactions on the frustrated $J_1$-$J_2$ kagome-Heisenberg model using the pseudo-fermion functional-renormalization-group (PFFRG) technique. In order to treat the off-diagonal nature of DM interactions, we develop an extended PFFRG scheme. We benchmark this approach in parameter regimes that have previously been studied with other methods and find good agreement of the magnetic phase diagram. Particularly, finite DM interactions are found to stabilize all types of non-collinear magnetic orders of the $J_1$-$J_2$ Heisenberg model ($\mathbf{q}=0$, $\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}$, and cuboc orders) and shrink the extents of magnetically disordered phases. We discuss our results in the light of the mineral {\it herbertsmithite} which has been experimentally predicted to host a quantum spin liquid at low temperatures. Our PFFRG data indicates that this material lies in close proximity to a quantum critical point. In parts of the experimentally relevant parameter regime for {\it herbertsmithite}, the spin-correlation profile is found to be in good qualitative agreement with recent inelastic-neutron-scattering data.

description:
Fluid flow and carbonate recrystallization rates were determined for deep-sea sediments from the Equatorial Eastern Pacific (IODP Exp. 320/321) using δ44/40Ca values of pore water and corresponding sediments. The drill sites are located along a transect of decreasing crustal age, showing different characteristic geochemical pore water depth profiles. An overall isotopic equilibration with the sediment in the upper part of the sedimentary column can be identified, while in the lower part of these Sites, the δ44/40Ca of the pore water increases back to seawater-like values at the sediment/basalt interface, forming a bulge-shaped pore water profile. The magnitude of this bulge decreases with increasing age of the oceanic crust and sediment cover, resulting in seawater-like δ44/40Ca-porewater values throughout the whole sedimentary column of the oldest two Sites. These findings indicate that after sedimentation carbonate recrystallization processes start to enrich the pore water in 40Ca with a subsequent input of a seawater-like fluid from the underlying crust into the sediment. After a time of carbonate recrystallization and cooling of oceanic crust, a flow of seawater-like fluid starts to move through the sedimentary column, shifting porewater back to seawater-like δ44/40Ca. We established a carbonate recrystallization and fluid flow model to quantify these processes. Our determined carbonate recrystallization rates indicate that the fluid flow within the investigated sites of IODP Exp. 320/321 depends on the sedimentary composition and location of the specific site, especially the proximity to a recharge or discharge site of a hydrothermal convection cell, which form the so-called ‘hydrothermal siphon’.

description: Grow: Experiencing Nature in the Fifth Dimension, is an interdisciplinary practice-led research project traversing the realms of art, science and technology through the exploration of germinating seeds. Through my investigation of the aesthetic possibilities of the computational extension of vision with time-resolved (4D) micro-X-ray Computed Tomography, I have tested the potential for visualising virtual germinating seeds in an immersive stereoscopic installation. Using this technology I have set out to create a work of art where an audience can experience seed growth from a very different perspective. However, the rationale to propagate seeds in this way began not just to test the limitations and possibilities of this technology. As an artistic inquiry, my premise for focusing on plant life also began as a way to examine this work from an ecological perspective. By considering the third and fourth dimensional elements in this project I am proposing that an individual’s experience of nature in my work can be considered as an additional ‘fifth dimension’. My research is placed within a range of disciplines from contemporary art and new media practices to scientific technological research and the natural sciences. The works of art developed through this research have been viewed in relation to ideas of the fourth dimension in modern art, to microscopy in both historical and contemporary art practice, to contemporary installation practices, and in relation to ideas of time and wonder. My experience of meeting the Seed Morphologist Dr Wolfgang Stuppy and staying at the Millennium Seed Bank, Royal Botanic Gardens, West Sussex in the UK has also been a point of reflection. The seed becomes a visual analogy for ideas of time, growth and renewal in the context of issues of creating art in the time of the Anthropocene. This exegesis explores the multi-dimensional properties of my research in the wider context of art, science and philosophy.

description:
Basic oxygen furnace slag (BOFS) is a by-product of steelmaking of which about 10.4 Mt are produced annually in the EU. BOFS is mostly used in road construction, earthwork and hydraulic engineering. However, in this use, the iron bound in BOFS is lost and the opportunity to produce higher value products from BOFS is forgone.

In recent decades, many researchers have investigated a thermochemical process to reduce iron oxides to metallic iron in molten BOFS. The metallic iron formed separates from the reduced slag due to its higher density and can be recovered. An advantage of this process is that simultaneously the chemical composition of the reduced slag is adapted to that of the Portland cement clinker and the hydraulic reactive mineral alite is formed.

In this study, BOFS was reduced in a small-scale electric arc furnace using petrol coke as reducing agent, and the hydraulic properties of the reduced, low-iron BOFS were investigated. Despite a chemical and mineralogical composition similar to that of Portland cement clinker, the reduced BOFS produced less heat of hydration, and its reaction was delayed compared to Portland cement. However, the addition of gypsum, as is also done in cement production from Portland cement clinker, has been found to accelerate the hydration rate of reduced BOFS.

Further research to improve the hydraulic properties of the reduced slag is essential. If successful, the production of a hydraulic binder and crude iron from BOFS could have economic and ecological benefits for both the cement and steel industry.

Machine Learning-Assisted Design of Metasurface Radomes
Creators: name: Chen, Yi-Huan
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Antennas are indispensable to wireless communications. With high frequency band signals applying in 5G channels, the wireless transmission rate is significantly boosted. While 5G technologies are expected to be the foundation for the next generation’s communication systems, the high frequency band leads 5G antennas be very sensitive to the environment. To set up the base stations efficiently, the demand for a fast and accurate measurement method of antenna radiation patterns is urgently needed. In addition, the development of multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) antenna systems also plays an essential role in 5G technologies, which enables high-speed wireless communications, wide diversities, and multiplexing at the same time. However, the mutual coupling effect significantly affects the performance of MIMO antenna systems which not only degrades the data diversity but also reduce the antenna gain. There are many previous works in mutual coupling reduction. However, most of the design only focus on a specific type of antenna systems and are limited to be widely applied. In this thesis, a series of machine learning (ML)-assisted models are represented for an efficient measurement method of antenna radiation pattern and a design method of metasurface radomes that enable mutual coupling reduction induced by the interference of radiation waves. In general, measuring the antenna's radiation pattern is a time-consuming task and is typically limited to specific planes (e.g., E- and H-planes) or angles. The proposed ML-assisted model based on the generative adversarial network (GAN) can restore the antenna radiation pattern from the sparse measurement data, and hence enables a fast and accurate measurement procedure. In addition, an auto-encoder-decoder (AED)-based inverse design model is presented to design an antenna radomes with broadband, wide-angle unidirectional or bidirectional absorption that can reduce mutual coupling in multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) antenna arrays. The proposed ML algorithm can automatically synthesize the metasurface radome to tailor reflection, transmission, and absorption of EM waves in a unidirectional or bidirectional manner. Three representative metasurface design examples, including an ultrathin, unidirectional and bidirectional metasurface-absorber, and a wide-angle unidirectional metasurface-absorber, are presented to validate the proposed ML-assisted design model. The three applications demonstrated that the ML-assisted model has a great potential in solving EM problems.

Empirical correlation of the surface tension versus the viscosity for saturated normal liquids

description: In 1966 Pelofsky proposed an empirical linear correlation between the natural logarithm of the surface tension and the reciprocal viscosity, which seems to work adequately for a wide range of fluids. In particular, it has been shown that it is useful in the case of n-alkanes and their binary and ternary mixtures. More recently however, it has been found not to work for several ionic liquids unless the reciprocal viscosity is raised to a power. The exponent of this power was fixed to be 0.3, at least for the studied ionic fluids. In the present work, the performance and accuracy of both the original Pelofsky correlation and the modified expression including the exponent are studied for 56 non-ionic fluids of different kinds over a broad range of temperatures. Also, the temperature range is delimited for which each expression reproduces the surface tension values with average absolute deviations below 1%. The needed coefficients are given for both the broad and the delimited temperature range for each expression. Unfortunately, the results show that the value of the exponent in the modified Pelofsky expression is substance-dependent for the normal fluids studied.

description: A stellar mass black hole (BH) surrounded by a neutrino-dominated accretion flow (NDAF) has been discussed in a number of works as the central engine of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). It is widely believed that NDAF cannot liberate enough energy for bright GRBs. However, these works have been based on the assumption of "no torque" boundary condition, which is invalid when the disk is magnetized. In this paper, we present both numerical and analytical solutions for NDAFs with non-zero boundary stresses, and reexamine their properties. We find that NDAF with such boundary torque can be powerful enough to account for those bright short GRBs, energetic long GRBs and ultra-long GRBs. The disk becomes viscously unstable, which makes it possible to interpret the variability of GRB prompt emission and the steep decay phase in the early X-ray afterglow. Finally, we study the gravitational waves radiated from a processing BH-NDAF. We find that the effects of the boundary torque on the strength of the gravitational waves can be ignored.

description: System dynamics modelling applied to rural spatial and societal development and planning is one of the focus of the PoliRural project. Work Package 3 focuses on the Innovation Hub, in which the system dynamics solution is a central piece. Task 3.3 tackles the introductory works to design a final solution within the framework of the Innovation Hub, considering the whole process, from the more general qualitative models to the more accurate local dynamics. The document begins with a brief introduction of the system dynamics concepts and technique, as well as the limits and bottlenecks of modelling. Then an overview of the software packages available for modelling is covered, including open source and proprietary software. The section finishes with a comparison matrix and a first valuation of the most feasible choice at this stage. Chapters 4 defines the structure of the model and its authoring, starting from the PoliRural Base Qualitative Model, and then the Local Customized model. A special focus has been put on the feedback process of enriching the models and the community generated around it. To complete the explanation of the process, chapter 5 deals with the model execution, both of the Base Qualitative Model and the Local Customized ones; to end up with the possibility of embedding the models within externals applications. Once the modelling process has been described, chapter 6 specifies the recommended solution, including the system requirements, architecture and components. The deliverable ends up with a conclusion containing the recommended components and next steps to complete the first version of the SD solution.

Head and Neck Cancer Patient Perspectives on Phase O Trials
Creators: name: Lupieri, Annik
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Novel drug discovery is a lengthy process, and for head and neck cancer (HNC), few antineoplastics have been developed in the past decades. This has led to a relative stagnation of HNC survival rates. Phase 0 trials offer a solution to the slow cancer drug development. By injecting a microdose of a novel antineoplastic agent directly into a tumor in-vivo, drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics can be studied after tumor resection and offers more accurate findings than with the utilization of animal models. Phase 0 trials do not offer therapeutic benefit to the participants but also carry minimal risk. Challenges with patient enrollment in phase 0 trials have hindered a more widespread implementation. The aim of this study was to better understand patient motivations and perceptions of phase 0 trials when considering whether to enroll. A hypothetical vignette survey was administered to 80 HNC patients presenting to their otolaryngology clinic. Among the sample, a majority of participants (78.8%) reported being likely to participate in a phase 0 trial, whereas a minority (21.2%) reported being unlikely to participate. Patients’ main reason to agree to participate was a desire to help future cancer patients (73%). Younger participants were significantly more likely to choose to participate. Reasons not to participate were more varied. Concern for injection complications (25%), fear of being experimented on (20%), and not wanting to be in a clinical trial (19%) were the most frequently selected answers. Black-identifying participants were 9.3 times more likely (95% CI 2.04, 43.06) to choose fear of being experimented on than non-black participants (p=0.0017). Only 10% of responders chose the lack of therapeutic benefit as a reason not to participate. Several patients mentioned logistical concerns, including transportation and financial support, as being potential deterrents to their participation. These findings showcase a number of barriers and challenges faced by patients that need to be addressed in order to improve enrollment in phase 0 trials.

description: The type-II Weyl and type-II Dirac fermions may emerge behind the event horizon of black holes. Correspondingly the black hole can be simulated by creation of the region with overtilted Weyl or Dirac cones. The filling of the electronic states inside the "black hole" is accompanied by Hawking radiation. The Hawking temperature in the Weyl semimetals can reach the room temperature, if the black hole region is sufficiently small, and thus the effective gravity at the horizon is large.
