description: Στα πλαίσια της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας επιχειρήθηκε μια προσέγγιση του εννόμου αγαθού της τιμής και της δικαιολόγησης των προσβολών του. Η άρση του αδίκου στα εγκλήματα κατά της τιμής εμφανίζει πολλές ιδιαιτερότητες γεγονός, που οφείλεται στην πολυπλοκότητα των ειδικών λόγων άρσης του αδίκου των άρθρων 366 ΠΚ και 367 ΠΚ καθώς και στην σχέση συγκοινωνούντων δοχείων, που υφίσταται μεταξύ των εγκλημάτων της δυσφήμησης και της εξύβρισης. Η διαδικασία άρσης του αδίκου στην περίπτωση του δικαιολογημένου ενδιαφέροντος, στην οποία δόθηκε ιδιαίτερη έμφαση λόγω της συχνότητάς της στην πράξη, είναι ακόμη πιο σύνθετη, καθώς αποτελείται και από ένα δεύτερο στάδιο στάθμισης in concreto του δικαιολογημένου ενδιαφέροντος με την προσβολή της τιμής με βάση την αρχή της αναλογικότητας.
description: At the present diplomatic work was attempted an approach of the value of honour and the justification of the acts against it. The Justification of the acts against honour displays many specialities, that are caused by the complexity of the Special Reasons of Justification of the Articles 366 and 367 Penal Code, as well as by the communicating-vessels relationship, that exists between the crimes of defamation and slander. The process of justification in the case of common interest, to which was given special emphasis due to its frequency in practice, is even more complex, as it is also composed of a second stage of in concreto weighing the common interest against the act against honor on the basis of the principle of proportionality.
ERICC Policy Brief _ Implementing Nigeria’s Universal Basic Education Act: The Case of Adamawa State

subject: Education policy

description: Nigeria’s Universal Basic Education Act, 2004 (UBE Act) states that basic education should be free, compulsory and universal. (UBE Act, 2004). However, its implementation in Adamawa State has been significantly disrupted by the Boko Haram insurgency, which has caused mass internal displacement. The return and resettlement of previously displaced communities provide opportunities to implement the Act fully, and in doing so to improve access to and the quality and continuity of education in the State. The Education Research in Conflict and Protracted Crisis (ERICC) programme considers existing factors influencing educational provision at policy and local levels in areas affected by conflict and crisis. The programme aims to guide interventions that will improve policy-practice coherence, which will lead to greater access to and improved quality and continuity of education in these contexts. Nigeria is one of six countries involved in the research programme. The focus here is on the factors that enable or hinder the implementation of the UBE Act in Adamawa State.
There has been very limited research to date on the provision of basic education in this context of return and resettlement, which limits the opportunities for policy-makers and others to make evidence-informed decisions on basic education. ERICC seeks to fill this research and knowledge gap.This policy brief summarises the findings, implications and recommendations of research conducted in Madagali Local Government Area (LGA) in northern Adamawa State. A comprehensive evidence review was conducted to identify evidence gaps (Mishra et al., 2023), complemented by extensive consultations with federal and local stakeholders in Nigeria (Akogun et al., 2023) to understand the educational context in Adamawa and draw out recommendations. Further research will inform the design of interventions to improve the provision of basic education in the State.

description: Στην παρούσα μελέτη εξετάζουμε τη γνωσιολογία του Άγ. Γρηγορίου Νύσσης, αντιπαραθέτοντάς την με την διδασκαλία του αιρετικού Ευνομίου. Πρώτον, παρουσιάζουμε την πρόκληση των Ευνομιανών, αρχίζοντας με ενα σύντομο ιστορικό και περιγραφή της Τριαδολογίας του και της θεώρησής του για την γνώση της θείας ουσίας. Δεύτερον, μελετάμε τις οντολογικές και πνευματικές προϋποθέσεις, με τις οποίες ο επίσκοπος Νύσσης οικοδομεί τη γνωσιολογία του. Σύμφωνα με τον Γρηγόριο, και όπως καταδεικνύουμε στην μελέτη, η θεογνωσία αποτελεί ανταπόκριση στην αποκάλυψη του Θεού, από την ίδια πράξη της δημιουργίας μέχρι την κορυφαία ιστορική στιγμή της ενσάρκωσης του Λόγου. Έπειτα, αναπτύσσουμε την αντίληψη του Άγ. Γρηγορίου για τον αποφατικό χαρακτήρα της θεογνωσίας, και πώς ισχυρίζεται ότι η πορεία προς τη γνώση του θείου δεν είναι ολοκληρωμένη χωρίς την αποδοχή μιας οντολογικής αγνωσίας της ουσίας του Θεού. Ο Γρηγόριος αντέκρουσε την διδασκαλία του Ευνομίου, επισημαίνοντας τον ρόλο όσο της αγνωσίας τόσο και της βιωματικής και μετοχικής γνώσης του Θεού στη γνωσιολογικό του σύστημα. Συμπεραίνουμε την εργασία μας με μια άναλυση της αποφατικής και της καταφατικής θεολογίας, που αποτελούν την περιγραφή και άρθρωση με ανθρώπινες έννοιες αυτής της βιωματικής γνώσης και αγνωσίας του Θεού.
description: In this study we examine the gnosiology of St. Gregory of Nyssa, juxtaposing it with the teaching of the heretic Eunomius. First, we present the challenge of the Eunomians, beginning with a brief historical summary and description of their Trinitarian doctrine and their understanding of knowledge of the divine essence. Second, we study the ontological and spiritual presuppositions, with which the bishop of Nyssa builds his gnosiology. According to Gregory, and as we make clear in our study, knowledge of God (θεογνωσία) constitutes a response to the revelation of God, from the very act of creation to the crowning moment of the incarnation of the Word. Later, we develop St. Gregory’s understanding of the apophatic character of the knowledge of God, and how he posits that the course towards knowledge of the divine is not complete within the acceptance of an ontological unknowability of the essence of God. Gregory refuted Eunomius’ teaching, noting the role as much of unknowability as experiential and participatory knowledge of God in his gnosiological system. We conclude our paper with an analysis of apophatic and kataphatic theology, which constitute the description and articulation with human concepts of the experiential knowability and unknowability.

description: The scope of this project is two-fold. The key purpose is to demonstrate the relationship between the voice of Lee Smith, a Southern writer from Appalachia and the voice of the author, another Southern writer from the Outer Banks. The foremost conclusion that has been drawn is that a writer's voice comes from deep inside the writer's unconscious. It is a product of generations of experiences that have embedded themselves in the writer's psyche. Some of the assumptions and prejudices surrounding southern women are discussed to some degree.

The second purpose is for this writer to show her work. This writer gets to the heart of creativity and how she uses her native talent as a hopeful author of the future.

description: We compute decay constants of heavy-light mesons in quenched lattice QCD with a lattice spacing of a ~ 0.04 fm using non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions and O(a) improved currents. We obtain f_{D_s} = 220(6)(5)(11) MeV, f_D = 206(6)(3)(22) MeV, f_{B_s} = 205(7)(26)(17) MeV and f_B = 190(8)(23)(25) MeV, using the Sommer parameter r_0 = 0.5 fm to set the scale. The first error is statistical, the second systematic and the third from assuming a +-10% uncertainty in the experimental value of r_0. A detailed discussion is given in the text. We also present results for the meson decay constants f_K and f_πand the ρmeson mass.

Rossby adjustment over canyons
Creators: name: Chen, Xiaoyang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The influence of submarine canyons on currents is studied using the Rossby adjustment method for an inviscid fluid on an /-plane. Two geometric models are used: (1) a flat bottom, uniform width, vertical edged and infinitely long canyon which cuts through a flat infinite ocean (F canyon model), and (2) a sloping bottom, uniform width, vertical edged and finite long canyon which extends from the shelf break into a semi-infinitely long strait (S canyon model). The waves which exist around an F canyon are composed of both superinertial waves (Poincare waves) and subinertial waves ("canyon waves"). The canyon waves are more important than Poincare waves in the determination of the steady state. The dispersion relation of the canyon waves is obtained. The canyon waves are dispersive and propagate in both directions along the canyon. While both the geostrophic and the transient solutions of Rossby adjustment over the F and the S canyons are studied, the emphasis of this thesis is to study the geostrophic state. For a homogeneous fluid in the northern hemisphere: (1) when a shelf flow approaches an F canyon, a net transport along the canyon is generated to the left (looking downstream) of the approaching shelf flow; (2) when a shelf flow approaches an S canyon, if the flow is left-bound (with the coast to its left looking downstream), a net in-canyon flux is generated, while if the flow is right-bound (with the coast to its right looking downstream), a net out-canyon flux is generated. For a two-layer stratified fluid (regardless of the shear) in the northern hemisphere: (3) over an F canyon in which the interface is above the shelf, the lower layer adjusts over the canyon in a similar way as in a homogeneous fluid but over the length scale of the baroclinic Rossby radius, while the upper layer adjusts in a way to accommodate the changes at the interface; (4) over an S canyon in which the interface is below the shelf, a left/right-bound shelf flow leads to an in/outcanyon flow throughout the water column. The time scale for adjustment is 1/f for both a homogeneous and a stratified fluid. A parameter, σ ε {0, 1}, which is denoted as the Canyon Number, is found to control the geostrophic state over a canyon. The Canyon Number, which is calculated from the geometric parameters of the shelf-canyon system, determines the interactive strength of one canyon edge on the circulation induced by the other edge. The parameter cr can be used to unify theories over canyons, steps, ridges and straits. The research has demonstrated that a canyon can have an important influence on cross-shelf circulation and has gone beyond earlier work in explaining the details of flow patterns around canyons.
title: Monetary Policy and Racial Inequality in Housing Markets: A Study of 140 US Metropolitan Areas

description: This paper investigates the differential impact of monetary policy on homeownership and housing returns among Black, Hispanic and White households. Using data on 13 million repeat sales from 1993 to 2020, we construct and analyze race-specific entries and exits of homeownership and housing returns for 140 metropolitan areas in the United States. Our findings reveal significant heterogeneity: for minority households, one unit of monetary tightening leads to a 15% lower housing return and a 31% lower entry into homeownership than White households. This heterogeneity primarily stems from the less favorable labor market responses of minority groups to contractionary monetary policy. These findings emphasize the unintended consequences of monetary policy on racial inequality in the housing market.
description: Cet article porte sur l’impact différentiel de la politique monétaire sur l’accession à la propriété et le rendement de l’investissement résidentiel chez les ménages de personnes noires, hispaniques et blanches. À l’aide de données sur 13 millions de reventes de 1993 à 2000, nous analysons le nombre de nouveaux accédants à la propriété et de propriétaires qui revendent leur maison, et le rendement de l’investissement par groupe racisé dans 140 zones métropolitaines des États-Unis. Nous concluons qu’il existe une hétérogénéité importante : une unité de resserrement monétaire entraîne un rendement de l’investissement de 15 % inférieur et un taux d’accession à la propriété de 31 % inférieur chez les ménages des groupes minoritaires comparativement aux ménages de personnes blanches. Cette hétérogénéité est surtout attribuable à la réaction moins favorable du marché du travail chez les groupes minoritaires lors d’une contraction de la politique monétaire. Nous concluons que la politique monétaire a une incidence involontaire sur les inégalités raciales sur le marché du logement.

description: This paper presents a proposed Research Agenda for education in conflict and crisis in South Sudan. Through a comprehensive ‘country scan’ process guided by the ERICC programme – involving an evidence review, mapping exercises, key informant interviews and key stakeholder meetings – evidence gaps in education within the conflict-affected and protracted crisis context of South Sudan have been identified. From this systematic approach, we arrived at five priority research areas: i) out-of-school children, with a focus on pastoralist communities; ii) determinants of academic outcomes, social-emotional learning, and mental health and psychosocial support; iii) evaluation of policy formulation and implementation over time; iv) assessment of system preparedness and adaptation to shocks; and v) examination of processes and challenges in teacher training.

description: The influence of thiol blocking on the resolution of basic proteins by two-dimensional electrophoresis was investigated. Cysteine blocking greatly increased resolution and decreased streaking, especially in the basic region of the gels. Two strategies for cysteine blocking were found to be efficient: classical alkylation with maleimide derivatives and mixed disulfide exchange with an excess of a low molecular weight disulfide. The effect on resolution was significant enough to allow correct resolution of basic proteins with in-gel rehydration on wide gradients (e.g. 3-10 and 4-12), but anodic cup-loading was still required for basic gradients (e.g. 6-12 or 8-12). These results demonstrate that thiol-related problems are not solely responsible for streaking of basic proteins on two-dimensional gels.

description: We prove existence, uniqueness and non-negativity of solutions of certain integral equations describing the density of states $u(z)$ in the spectral theory of soliton gases for the one dimensional integrable focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (fNLS) and for the Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation. Our proofs are based on ideas and methods of potential theory. In particular, we show that the minimizing (positive) measure for certain energy functional is absolutely continuous and its density $u(z)\geq 0$ solves the required integral equation. In a similar fashion we show that $v(z)$, the temporal analog of $u(z)$, is the difference of densities of two absolutely continuous measures. Together, integral equations for $u,v$ represent nonlinear dispersion relation for the fNLS soliton gas. We also discuss smoothness and other properties of the obtained solutions. Finally, we obtain exact solutions of the above integral equations in the case of a KdV condensate and a bound state fNLS condensate. Our results is a first step towards a mathematical foundation for the spectral theory of soliton and breather gases, which appeared in work of El and Tovbis, Phys. Rev. E, 2020. It is expected that the presented ideas and methods will be useful for studying similar classes of integral equation describing, for example, breather gases for the fNLS, as well as soliton gases of various integrable systems.

description: We extend recently proposed variational coupled-cluster method to describe excitation states of quantum many-body interacting systems. We discuss, in general terms, both quasiparticle excitations and quasiparticle-density-wave excitations (collective modes). In application to quantum antiferromagnets, we reproduce the well-known spin-wave excitations, i.e. quasiparticle magnons of spin $\pm 1$. In addition, we obtain new, spin-zero magnon-density-wave excitations which has been missing in Anserson's spin-wave theory. Implications of these new collective modes are discussed.

Ecology of Tigriopus californicus (Copepoda, Harpacticoida) in Barkley Sound, British Columbia
Creators: name: Powlik, James John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The thesis addresses several aspects of the habitat characters and population attributes of the splashpool copepod, Tigriopus californicus (Baker) in Barkley Sound, British Columbia. Overall, 90.1% of pools containing T. californicus were found at 3.0 to 5.0 m above lowest normal tide, with an average surface area-to-volume ratio of 7.06. Copepod habitation was found at water temperatures of 6 to 33°C; salinities of less than 1 to 139%; hydrogen ion concentrations (pH) of 6.1 to 9.5; and oxygen levels of 1.1 to 13.7 mg L1. Vegetation and sediment were sparse in T. californicus pools (15.79 ± 10.6% cover in 9.4 ± 11.1 % of pools, mean ± s.E.); with the most common macroalgae including Enteromorpha compressa, Scytosiphon lomentaria and its Ralfsia-lilce alternate phase. Incidental invertebrates and vertebrates that may act as potential agents of dispersal for T. californicus and its congeners are also listed and discussed relative to the world-wide biogeography of the genus. In an analysis of the copepod’s association with chlorophytic macroalgae, pools and laboratory microcosms containing the alga Cladophora trichotoma retained fewer surviving T. calfomicus (18.6 ± 7.3%) compared to treatments containing E. compressa (93.8 ± 5.4%) or without vegetation (95.6 ± 0.1%); the susceptibility of mature T. californicus to a possible crustacean deterrent produced by C. trichotoma may preclude the establishment of copepod populations. In a second experiment, apparently dead Tigriopus cahfornicus were enlivened following re-hydration with either fresh or sea water, with gravid females and adult males demonstrating the greatest response (10.7 ± 8.5% recovery overall). Development and body length were also compared under conditions representative of in situ summer (18 - 20°C; 30 - 32% salinity) or winter (10 - 15°C; 20 - 25% salinity) conditions. Total generation time (egg to adult) was 21 days under summer conditions, and 30 days under winter conditions, though no net difference in body length was observed. Clutch size was 20 ± 4.2 eggs at 10- 15°C and 26 ± 8.1 eggs at 18 - 20°C for females in culture; field specimens had a mean clutch size of 23 ± 6.5 eggs in winter (January), increasing to 37 ± 10.2 eggs • clutch⁻¹ in summer (July and August). Population density ranged from 217 ± 401.7 individuals • L⁻¹ in winter to 835 ± 1750.6 individuals • L⁻¹ in summer, exceeding 20,000 individuals L⁻¹ in some pools. A synthesis of these results with previous studies is provided, including suggested parameters for estimating population flux.

description: The Lagrangian that defines quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the strong interaction piece of the Standard Model, appears very simple. Nevertheless, it is responsible for an astonishing array of high-level phenomena with enormous apparent complexity, e.g., the existence, number and structure of atomic nuclei. The source of all these things can be traced to emergent mass, which might itself be QCD's self-stabilising mechanism. A background to this perspective is provided, presenting, inter alia, a discussion of the gluon mass and QCD's process-independent effective charge and highlighting an array of observable expressions of emergent mass, ranging from its manifestations in pion parton distributions to those in nucleon electromagnetic form factors.

description: The nuGeN experiment searches for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) at the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant. A 1.41-kg high-purity low-threshold germanium detector surrounded by active and passive shielding is deployed at the minimal distance of 11.1 m allowed by the lifting mechanism from the center of reactor core, utilizing one of the highest antineutrino fluxes among the competing experiments. The direct comparison of the count rates obtained during reactor-ON and reactor-OFF periods with the energy threshold of 0.29~keV$_{ee}$ shows no statistically significant difference. New upper limits on the number of CEvNS events are evaluated on the basis of the residual ON$-$OFF count rate spectrum.
Capacity of Wireless Networks within o(log(SNR)) - the Impact of Relays, Feedback, Cooperation and Full-Duplex Operation

description: Recent work has characterized the sum capacity of time-varying/frequency-selective wireless interference networks and $X$ networks within $o(\log({SNR}))$, i.e., with an accuracy approaching 100% at high SNR (signal to noise power ratio). In this paper, we seek similar capacity characterizations for wireless networks with relays, feedback, full duplex operation, and transmitter/receiver cooperation through noisy channels. First, we consider a network with $S$ source nodes, $R$ relay nodes and $D$ destination nodes with random time-varying/frequency-selective channel coefficients and global channel knowledge at all nodes. We allow full-duplex operation at all nodes, as well as causal noise-free feedback of all received signals to all source and relay nodes. The sum capacity of this network is characterized as $\frac{SD}{S+D-1}\log({SNR})+o(\log({SNR}))$. The implication of the result is that the capacity benefits of relays, causal feedback, transmitter/receiver cooperation through physical channels and full duplex operation become a negligible fraction of the network capacity at high SNR. Some exceptions to this result are also pointed out in the paper. Second, we consider a network with $K$ full duplex nodes with an independent message from every node to every other node in the network. We find that the sum capacity of this network is bounded below by $\frac{K(K-1)}{2K-2}+o(\log({SNR}))$ and bounded above by $\frac{K(K-1)}{2K-3}+o(\log({SNR}))$.

description: A solution to the Boltzmann equation governing the thermal relic abundance of cold dark matter is constructed by matched asymptotic approximations. The approximation of the relic density is an asymptotic series valid when the abundance does not deviate significantly from its equilibrium value until small temperatures. Resonance and threshold effects are taken into account at leading order and found to be negligible unless the annihilation cross section is negligible at threshold. Comparisons are made to previously attempted constructions and to the freeze out approximation commonly employed in the literature. Extensions to higher order matching is outlined, and implications for solving related systems are discussed. We compare our results to a numerical determination of the relic abundance using a benchmark model and find a fantastic agreement. The method developed also serves as a solution to a wide class of problems containing an infinite order turning point.

Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετώνται επίσης οι σχετικές διεθνείς και ευρωπαϊκές προβλέψεις για την αντιμετώπισή του και το εθνικό νομοθετικό πλαίσιο, ήτοι ο ν. 3500/2006, ενώ επιχειρούνται και κριτικά σχόλια. Περαιτέρω, ο θεσμός της ποινικής διαμεσολάβησης αποτέλεσε αντικείμενο εμπειρικής έρευνας όσον αφορά στην εφαρμογή του στην εισαγγελία πρωτοδικών Θεσσαλονίκης. Μέσα από τη μελέτη των δικογραφιών του εκ του νόμου προβλεπόμενου ειδικού αρχείου και την πραγματοποίηση συνεντεύξεων με τους ειδικούς αναφάνηκαν τα προβληματικά σημεία και οι δυσκολίες στην ουσιαστική εφαρμογή του νόμου. Αξιολογώντας, τέλος, τόσο τα παρόντα ερευνητικά συμπεράσματα αλλά και τα πορίσματα από τη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία προτείνονται μέτρα βελτίωσης.
description: The substantial understanding of the domestic violence, especially the violence in the terms of an intimate relationship, demands more systematic approach through the study of its causes, the characteristics of the perpetrator and the victim, but most of all, through the distinctions to the specific types, in order to form an effective criminal policy. The international and European provisions regarding the combat against domestic violence are also considered, as also the national legal framework, namely the law no 3500/2006, which is subjected to fruitful critic. The institution of mediation and the circumstances of its application have been researched through the studying of the relevant case files of the special record in the prosecutor’s office in Thessaloniki and the conduction of interviews with experts. In conclusion, the practical problems and the difficulties that arose are presented and relevant measures of improvement are suggested in combination with the international literature.

description: With the increasing number of mobile devices, there has been continuous research on generating optimized Language Models (LMs) for soft keyboard. In spite of advances in this domain, building a single LM for low-end feature phones as well as high-end smartphones is still a pressing need. Hence, we propose a novel technique, Optimized N-gram (Op-Ngram), an end-to-end N-gram pipeline that utilises mobile resources efficiently for faster Word Completion (WC) and Next Word Prediction (NWP). Op-Ngram applies Stupid Backoff and pruning strategies to generate a light-weight model. The LM loading time on mobile is linear with respect to model size. We observed that Op-Ngram gives 37% improvement in Language Model (LM)-ROM size, 76% in LM-RAM size, 88% in loading time and 89% in average suggestion time as compared to SORTED array variant of BerkeleyLM. Moreover, our method shows significant performance improvement over KenLM as well.

description: In this paper we explore some of the features of a heavy quark-antiquark pair at finite temperature using a five-dimensional framework nowadays known as AdS/QCD. We shall show that the resulting behavior is consistent with our qualitative expectations of thermal gauge theory. Some of the results are in good agreement with the lattice data that provides additional evidence for the validity of the proposed model.

description: We study Kolmogorov-Johnson-Mehl-Avrami (KJMA) theory of phase conversion in finite volumes. For the conversion time we find the relationship $τ_{\rm con} = τ_{\rm nu} [1+f_d(q)]$. Here $d$ is the space dimension, $τ_{\rm nu}$ the nucleation time in the volume $V$, and $f_d(q)$ a scaling function. Its dimensionless argument is $q=τ_{\rm ex}/ τ_{\rm nu}$, where $τ_{\rm ex}$ is an expansion time, defined to be proportional to the diameter of the volume divided by expansion speed. We calculate $f_d(q)$ in one, two and three dimensions. The often considered limits of phase conversion via either nucleation or spinodal decomposition are found to be volume-size dependent concepts, governed by simple power laws for $f_d(q)$.

Canonical models for torus canards in elliptic bursters

description: We revisit elliptic bursting dynamics from the viewpoint of torus canard solutions. We show that at the transition to and from elliptic burstings, classical or mixed-type torus canards can appear, the difference between the two being the fast subsystem bifurcation that they approach, saddle-node of cycles for the former and subcritical Hopf for the latter. We first showcase such dynamics in a Wilson-Cowan type elliptic bursting model, then we consider minimal models for elliptic bursters in view of finding transitions to and from bursting solutions via both kinds of torus canards. We first consider the canonical model proposed by Izhikevich (ref. [22] in the manuscript) and adapted to elliptic bursting by Ju, Neiman, Shilnikov (ref. [24] in the manuscript), and we show that it does not produce mixed-type torus canards due to a nongeneric transition at one end of the bursting regime. We therefore introduce a perturbative term in the slow equation, which extends this canonical form to a new one that we call Leidenator and which supports the right transitions to and from elliptic bursting via classical and mixed-type torus canards, respectively. Throughout the study, we use singular flows ($\varepsilon=0$) to predict the full system's dynamics ($\varepsilon>0$ small enough). We consider three singular flows: slow, fast and average slow, so as to appropriately construct singular orbits corresponding to all relevant dynamics pertaining to elliptic bursting and torus canards.

description: [Abridged] Type-I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear flashes that take place on the surface of accreting neutron stars. The wait time between consecutive bursts is set by the time required to accumulate the fuel needed to trigger a new burst; this is at least one hour. Sometimes secondary bursts are observed, approximately 10 min after the main burst. These short wait-time bursts are not yet understood. We observed the low-mass X-ray binary and X-ray burster EXO 0748-676 with XMM-Newton for 158 h, during 7 uninterrupted observations lasting up to 30 h each. We detect 76 X-ray bursts. Most remarkably, 15 of these bursts occur in burst triplets, with wait times of 12 min between the three components of the triplet. We also detect 14 doublets with similar wait times between the two components of the doublet. The characteristics of the bursts indicate that possibly all bursts in this system are hydrogen-ignited, in contrast with most other frequent X-ray bursters in which bursts are helium-ignited, but consistent with the low mass accretion rate in EXO 0748-676. Possibly the hydrogen ignition is the determining factor for the occurrence of short wait-time bursts.

description: Παρακάτω θα αναπτύξουμε την αίτια του πόνου αλλά και την αξία αυτού του πόνου. Ο Χρυσόστομος παρουσιάζει τον πόνο ως τον καλύτερο διδάσκαλο, είναι το προσκλητήριο του Θεού που μας καλεί σε μετάνοια. Ο πόνος είναι το φάρμακο της ψυχής. Βέβαια θα αναρωτηθεί κάποιος, ο πόνος έρχεται μόνο στους ασεβής ή μόνο στους δικαίους; Ο Χρυσόστομος μας δίνει απαντήσεις και για αυτό. Πονά και ο ασεβής αλλά αυτός ο πόνος είναι ένα μέσον που θα τον κινήσει σε μετάνοια ενώ στον δίκαιο ο πόνος επιτρέπεται για να λάμψει ακόμη περισσότερο. Επειδή όμως είναι στην φύση μας να ψάχνουμε την αιτία του πόνου αλλά και ποιός είναι αυτός που ευθύνεται για την καταστροφή μας, ο Άγιος μας λέει πως δεν φταίει ο Θεός για τις θλίψεις και τις δοκιμασίες που συναντούμε στη ζωή. Ίσα-ίσα με τις θλίψεις και τις δοκιμασίες μας δίνει ευκαιρία να τον γνωρίσουμε, να γίνουμε πολύ δικοί του. Το πώς θα ενεργήσει σε μας το φάρμακο της λύπης, εξαρτάται από του καθενός την προαίρεση. Η ράθυμη και οκνηρή ψυχή δυσανασχετεί και θλίβεται στην πρώτη δυσκολία που θα συναντήσει. Αντίθετα, η γενναία και ρωμαλέα ψυχή δέχεται την ευεργετική επίδραση των θλίψεων και ωφελείται από αυτές. «Ο πόνος, αν δεν ταυτιστεί με τη σταυρική θυσία και με τις συνέπειές της, παύει να είναι δημιουργικός, και γίνεται καταστροφικός».
description: Below we will develop reason of pain but also the value of this pain. Chains Chrysotomos presents the pain as the best teacher, it is the invitation card of God that us calls in penitence. The pain is the medicine of soul. Of course wonder does the some, will pain come only in their disrespectful or only in fair? The Chrysotomos gives us also answers on this. Aches also this disrespectful but pain is a means that him will move in penitence while in the right the pain is allowed in order to it shines still more. Because however it is in our nature we search in cause of pain but also who he is the one that is accountable for our destruction, give us it says that is not to blame the God for the sadness and the ordeals that we meet in the life. Equally-equal with the sadness and the ordeals us it gives occasion him to know, to become very his. How it will act in us the medicine of sorrow depends from each one the needs. The indolent soul feel bad and is distressed in the first difficulty that it will meet. On the contrary, the brave and vigorous soul accepts the beneficial effect of sadness and is profited by them.

description: Diffusive dynamics in presence of deep energy minima and weak nongradient forces can be coarse-grained into a mesoscopic jump process over the various basins of attraction. Combining standard weak-noise results with a path integral expansion around equilibrium, we show that the emerging transition rates satisfy local detailed balance (LDB). Namely, the log ratio of the transition rates between nearby basins of attractions equals the free-energy variation appearing at equilibrium, supplemented by the work done by the nonconservative forces along the typical transition path. When the mesoscopic dynamics possesses a large-size deterministic limit, it can be further reduced to a jump process over macroscopic states satisfying LDB. The persistence of LDB under coarse graining of weakly nonequilibrium states is a generic consequence of the fact that only dissipative effects matter close to equilibrium.

description: In most experimental studies, active drops propel in a liquid bulk due to self-generated interfacial stresses of solutal origin. Here, we demonstrate the self-propulsion of a volatile drop on the surface of a liquid bath due to stresses of thermal origin. Evaporative heat pumping is converted into directed motion driven by thermocapillary stresses, which emerge on the drop surface as a result of a symmetry breaking of the drop temperature field. The dependence of the drop speed on the activity source, i.e. the evaporation flux, is derived with scaling arguments and captures the experimental data.

description: This paper describes Brown University's submission to the TREC 2019 Deep Learning track. We followed a 2-phase method for producing a ranking of passages for a given input query: In the the first phase, the user's query is expanded by appending 3 queries generated by a transformer model which was trained to rephrase an input query into semantically similar queries. The expanded query can exhibit greater similarity in surface form and vocabulary overlap with the passages of interest and can therefore serve as enriched input to any downstream information retrieval method. In the second phase, we use a BERT-based model pre-trained for language modeling but fine-tuned for query - document relevance prediction to compute relevance scores for a set of 1000 candidate passages per query and subsequently obtain a ranking of passages by sorting them based on the predicted relevance scores. According to the results published in the official Overview of the TREC Deep Learning Track 2019, our team ranked 3rd in the passage retrieval task (including full ranking and re-ranking), and 2nd when considering only re-ranking submissions.
