description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία επιδιώκει να αποδείξει τις συγγένειες μεταξύ του ποιητή, Γιώργου Σεφέρη και του ζωγράφου, Αδαμάντιου Διαμαντή γύρω από το θέμα της ελληνικότητας, το οποίο εκείνη την περίοδο απασχολούσε Ελλάδα και Κύπρο. Πρώτα, παρουσιάζονται οι βασικοί άξονες της σεφερικής σκέψης, οι οποίοι τον οδηγούν στην Κύπρο, όπου ανακαλύπτει το ελληνικό θαύμα. Στο νησί θα βρεθεί με την ιδιότητα του διπλωμάτη, γεγονός που θα βοηθήσει, αρχικά, στην έμπνευση της κυπριακής του συλλογής. Εκεί περιγράφεται η εμπειρία της ελληνικής ανακάλυψης στη νέα του πατρίδα, αφού, μετά τη Σμύρνη, μόνο εκεί βρήκε ανόθευτο το ελληνικό αίσθημα στις λαϊκές ψυχές και κάτω από το κυπριακό φως. Έπειτα, αφού αποδειχτεί το ζωγραφιστικό πνεύμα του Σεφέρη, το οποίο τον φέρνει πιο κοντά στον Διαμαντή παρουσιάζεται ο τελευταίος. Αυτός, προσπαθεί να διασώσει το ελληνικό πνεύμα του νησιού, το οποίο «κατοικεί» στον απλό κόσμο της υπαίθρου. Για αυτό πραγματεύεται στο έργο του την ανθρώπινη μορφή μέσα στο αγροτικό της σκηνικό. Ποιητής και ζωγράφος φαίνεται να αναπτύσσουν παρόμοια ιδέα περί ελληνικότητας, η οποία εκκινεί και την έμπνευσή τους. Αυτό αποδεικνύεται και από την αλληλογραφία τους, η οποία αποκαλύπτει και άλλες κοινές πτυχές μεταξύ των τεχνών τους.
description: This dissertation aims to prove the similarities between the poet, George Seferis and the painter, Adamantios Diamantis, about the concept of Greekness that concerns, at that time, both Greece and Cyprus. The project begins with Seferis theories, which has been proved in Cyprus, where he discovered the greek miracle. He visited the island as ambassador, which, at first, helped him write his poetry anthology about the island. In those poems he described his experience discovering the greek spirit in his new motherland, because there, after Smyrna, he witnessed the greek miracle when he communicated with the folk people, the ambassador of Greekness, and facing the sun. After proving Seferis’ painting sense, which brings him closer to Diamantis, follows the presentation of the painter’s work. Diamantis concerns about proving his island’s greek identity by protecting the folk culture and people, because in their soul lives the greek spirit. Therefore, he choices popular figures in their rural scene to dominate his paintings. Both Seferis and Diamantis seem to have similar thoughts about Greekness. This point can be proved, also, by their correspondence, which helps the reader find some more common aspects between their art.

description: Autonomous vehicles require accurate and reliable short-term trajectory predictions for safe and efficient driving. While most commercial automated vehicles currently use state machine-based algorithms for trajectory forecasting, recent efforts have focused on end-to-end data-driven systems. Often, the design of these models is limited by the availability of datasets, which are typically restricted to generic scenarios. To address this limitation, we have developed a synthetic dataset for short-term trajectory prediction tasks using the CARLA simulator. This dataset is extensive and incorporates what is considered complex scenarios - pedestrians crossing the road, vehicles overtaking - and comprises 6000 perspective view images with corresponding IMU and odometry information for each frame. Furthermore, an end-to-end short-term trajectory prediction model using convolutional neural networks (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks has also been developed. This model can handle corner cases, such as slowing down near zebra crossings and stopping when pedestrians cross the road, without the need for explicit encoding of the surrounding environment. In an effort to accelerate this research and assist others, we are releasing our dataset and model to the research community. Our datasets are publicly available on https://github.com/sharmasushil/Navigating-Uncertainty-Trajectory-Prediction .

description: Purpose The incidence of treatment-related toxicity for adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer is well documented in clinical trials. However, the effect of chemotherapy on functional outcomes in older patients is less well known. We identified a cohort of older women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer to examine the association between exposure to chemotherapy and a claims-based measure of function-related adverse events (FAE). Methods Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare dataset, we identified women aged ≥ 66 diagnosed with stage I or II breast cancer from 2004 to 2011. FAE were defined as one or more claims suggestive of functional impairment within 24 months following chemotherapy including claims for durable medical equipment and skilled care. Women who did not receive chemotherapy were weighted to reflect the covariate distribution of chemotherapy recipients using propensity score weighting for age, stage, baseline healthcare utilization, and comorbidities. Results The cohort included 44,626 patients, 6892 (15%) received chemotherapy. 19% of the population experienced ≥ 1 FAE. After propensity weighting, chemotherapy was associated with a small increased risk of FAEs (HR 1.12, 95% confidence interval: 1.04, 1.20). Results were similar in patients 75 years and older versus younger patients. In the chemotherapy group, the highest risk of FAE occurred in the first 3 months, but persisted through follow-up. Conclusions Exposure to chemotherapy was associated with a small increased risk of FAE which did not vary by age. These data can be used to inform treatment decision making for older patients with breast cancer who are eligible for adjuvant chemotherapy.

description: This thesis was carried out in the framework of the postgraduate program "Lifelong Learning and Leadership in Education: Education Sciences" and is entitled "Socially vulnerable groups and distance learning. The educational process based on the reality of Covid-19 in public primary schools in Greece". During its elaboration, an attempt was made to study social vulnerability, social exclusion, experienced by a portion of the population and social justice. In addition, emphasis was placed on the issue of distance learning, the forms of distance education, as well as the readiness of Greece to support the new treaty, which emerged due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This is followed by data on Covid-19 and how it affected training, and some first recorded data that appear to reinforce pre-existing social skills. Finally, an attempt was made to detect and record the basic data that were observed in the Greek data. More specifically, emphasis was placed on how Covid-19 affected the educational function of public primary schools in Greece, the difficulties and new challenges faced by teachers and schools, and how students, who belong to socially vulnerable groups were affected.

description: The transverse momentum ($p_T$) and pseudorapidity ($η$) spectra of charged particles produced in proton-proton ($pp$) and lead-lead (Pb-Pb) collisions at the large hadron collider (LHC) are described by a hybrid model. In the model, the $p_T$ spectrum is described by a two-component distribution which contains an inverse power-law suggested by the QCD (Quantum Chromodynamic) calculus and an Erlang distribution resulted from a multisource thermal model. The $η$ spectrum is described by a Gaussian rapidity ($y$) distribution resulted from the Landau hydrodynamic model and the two-component $p_T$ distribution, where the conversion between $y$ and $η$ is accurately considered. The modelling results are in agreement with the experimental data measured by the ATLAS Collaboration in $pp$ collisions at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=2.76$ TeV and in Pb-Pb collisions at center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV. Based on the parameter values extracted from $p_T$ and $η$ or $y$ spectra, the event patterns or particle scatter plots in three-dimensional velocity and momentum spaces are obtained.

description: We report on transport properties of the super-honeycomb lattice, the band structure of which possesses a flat band and Dirac cones, according to the tight-binding approximation. This super-honeycomb model combines the honeycomb lattice and the Lieb lattice and displays the properties of both. The super-honeycomb lattice also represents a hybrid fermionic and bosonic system, which is rarely seen in nature. By choosing the phases of input beams properly, the flat-band mode of the super-honeycomb will be excited and the input beams will exhibit strong localization during propagation. On the other hand, if the modes of Dirac cones of the super-honeycomb lattice are excited, one will observe conical diffraction. Furthermore, if the input beam is properly chosen to excite a sublattice of the super-honeycomb lattice and the modes of Dirac cones with different pseudospins, e.g., the three-beam interference pattern, the pseudospin-mediated vortices will be observed.

description: ML model design either starts with an interpretable model or a Blackbox and explains it post hoc. Blackbox models are flexible but difficult to explain, while interpretable models are inherently explainable. Yet, interpretable models require extensive ML knowledge and tend to be less flexible and underperforming than their Blackbox variants. This paper aims to blur the distinction between a post hoc explanation of a Blackbox and constructing interpretable models. Beginning with a Blackbox, we iteratively carve out a mixture of interpretable experts (MoIE) and a residual network. Each interpretable model specializes in a subset of samples and explains them using First Order Logic (FOL), providing basic reasoning on concepts from the Blackbox. We route the remaining samples through a flexible residual. We repeat the method on the residual network until all the interpretable models explain the desired proportion of data. Our extensive experiments show that our route, interpret, and repeat approach (1) identifies a diverse set of instance-specific concepts with high concept completeness via MoIE without compromising in performance, (2) identifies the relatively ``harder'' samples to explain via residuals, (3) outperforms the interpretable by-design models by significant margins during test-time interventions, and (4) fixes the shortcut learned by the original Blackbox. The code for MoIE is publicly available at: \url{https://github.com/batmanlab/ICML-2023-Route-interpret-repeat}

Medium body VPS impressions of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth among thirty subjects were taken and dental stone casts prepared. Hollow volume overlays were made and metric analysis was done using advanced imaging software like Adobe Photoshop - 9 and Image J. These values were compared to the measurements taken from bite mark impressions of the same 30 individuals on wax wafers using light body VPS material. The mean differences in the parameters measured by the different techniques were compared using Intra Class Correlation Coefficients [ICCC]. Additionally validity parameters such as sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value were computed.

description: Safety critical systems involve the tight coupling between potentially conflicting control objectives and safety constraints. As a means of creating a formal framework for controlling systems of this form, and with a view toward automotive applications, this paper develops a methodology that allows safety conditions -- expressed as control barrier functions -- to be unified with performance objectives -- expressed as control Lyapunov functions -- in the context of real-time optimization-based controllers. Safety conditions are specified in terms of forward invariance of a set, and are verified via two novel generalizations of barrier functions; in each case, the existence of a barrier function satisfying Lyapunov-like conditions implies forward invariance of the set, and the relationship between these two classes of barrier functions is characterized. In addition, each of these formulations yields a notion of control barrier function (CBF), providing inequality constraints in the control input that, when satisfied, again imply forward invariance of the set. Through these constructions, CBFs can naturally be unified with control Lyapunov functions (CLFs) in the context of a quadratic program (QP); this allows for the achievement of control objectives (represented by CLFs) subject to conditions on the admissible states of the system (represented by CBFs). The mediation of safety and performance through a QP is demonstrated on adaptive cruise control and lane keeping, two automotive control problems that present both safety and performance considerations coupled with actuator bounds.

description: We study the prospects of detection at terrestrial and space interferometers, as well as at pulsar timing array experiments, of a stochastic gravitational wave background which can be produced in models of axion inflation. This potential signal, and the development of these experiments, open a new window on inflation on scales much smaller than those currently probed with Cosmic Microwave Background and Large Scale Structure measurements. The sourced signal generated in axion inflation is an ideal candidate for such searches, since it naturally grows at small scales, and it has specific properties (chirality and non-gaussianity) that can distinguish it from an astrophysical background. We study under which conditions such a signal can be produced at an observable level, without the simultaneous overproduction of scalar perturbations in excess of what is allowed by the primordial black hole limits. We also explore the possibility that scalar perturbations generated in a modified version of this model may provide a distribution of primordial black holes compatible with the current bounds, that can act as a seeds of the present black holes in the universe.

description: Over the last century, the concepts of becoming, immanence and difference have generated a great amount of interest in the field of the history of philosophy. However, a proportionate occupation with the work of Heraclitus, the philosopher of becoming par excellence, cannot be observed in recent research. The aim of this paper is to incorporate elements of the heraclitean philosophy in the context and challenges contemporary theories of difference pose, reevaluating its meaning and value in the history of western thought. In order for this to happen, three major fields from the work of the Ephesian were chosen, that illustrate the unity of his philosophy –language, ethico-political analysis and philosophy of nature.

description: Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study the heavy quark potential and the jet quenching parameter in the near horizon limit of D3-D(-1) background. The results are compared with those of conformal cases. It is shown that the presence of instantons tends to suppress the heavy quark potential and enhance the jet quenching parameter.

description: Antimon ist ein typisches Begleitelement in Stählen, so wie auch Phosphor, Schwefel und Arsen. Durch Segregation von Begleitelementen an die Korngrenzen kommt es zur sogenannten Anlassversprödung von Stählen, einem technisch sehr wichtigen Effekt. In dieser Arbeit wurden die Oberflächen­ und die Korngrenzensegregation an komplexen antimonhaltigen Legierungen untersucht. Von besonderem Interesse war dabei der Einfluss der verschiedenen Legierungs­ und Begleitelemente auf die Segregation des Antimons. Die Oberflächensegregation wurde an Einkristalloberflächen der ferritischen Legierungen Fe­25%Cr­2%Ni­0.15%Sb und Fe­2.5%Si­2%Ni­0.15%Sb untersucht. In beiden Systemen wird Kosegregation von Nickel und Antimon beobachtet, wobei die Anwesenheit von Chrom die Segregation des Nickels verstärkt. An der austenitischen Legierung Fe­44%Ni­0.16%Sb tritt dagegen keine Kosegregation von Nickel und Antimon auf. Bei der Korngrenzensegregation wurden der Einfluss von Chrom, der Einfluss von Chrom und Nickel und der Einfluss von zusätzlichem Kohlenstoff auf die Antimonsegregation betrachtet. Weder die Anwesenheit von Chrom noch die Anwesenheit von Chrom und Nickel gemeinsam erhöhen die Antimonsegregation, eine Kosegregation findet nicht statt. Bei der Anwesenheit von Kohlenstoff kommt es zur Ausscheidung von Karbiden und zu einer starken Anreicherung von Antimon an den Karbid­Ferrit­Grenzflächen. Zusätzlich zu den Segregationsuntersuchungen wurde der Einfluss von segregiertem Antimon auf die Oxidation von Fe­4%Sb­Einkristallen untersucht. Eine Segregationsschicht von Antimon verhindert die Oxidation der Oberfläche für geringere Sauerstoffdrucke und verlangsamt die Oxidation für höhere Sauerstoffdrucke.

description: Last complete novel completed by Charles Dickens and is one of his most sophisticated works, combining savage satire with social analysis. In the opening chapters a body is found in the Thames and identified as that of John Harmon, a young man recently returned to London to receive his inheritance. Were he alive, his father's will would require him to marry Bella Wilfer, a beautiful, mercenary girl whom he had never met. Instead, the money passes to the working-class Boffins, and the effects spread into various corners of London society. Issued monthly from May 1864 to November 1865 in illustrated green paper covers.

description: Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die elektrische Gleichstromleitfähigkeit der Zintlphasen Cs-Pb, K-Sb und K-Bi über einen großen Temperaturbereich zu beobachten und mit den Ergebnissen der Strukturuntersuchungen zu verknüpfen, um Aussagen über die Korrelation zwischen strukturellen und elektronischen Eigenschaften der Legierungen im expandierten Zustand treffen zu können. Die flüssigen Zintlphasen sind äußerst komplexe molekulare Flüssigkeiten, die eine ausgeprägte Nahordnung bis in den expandierten Zustand besitzen. In der Legierung bilden sich durch partiellen Ladungstransfer vom elektropositiveren zum elektronegativeren Metall kovalent gebundene Polyanionen aus. Neben der Stärke der Wechselwirkungen hängt die Struktur der Legierung auch von der Größe des Alkalimetalls ab. Auch die thermodynamischen Eigenschaften und Transportgrößen, wie die elektrische Leitfähigkeit, werden von diesen Effekten beeinflußt. Es werden Leitfähigkeitsmessungen im Temperaturbereich von bis zu 1000 K oberhalb des Schmelzpunktes der jeweiligen Legierung durchgeführt. Für die Messungen im unteren Temperaturbereich bis maximal 1000 K wird eine Meßanordnung entwickelt und der für die Experimente notwendige Autoklav konstruiert und gebaut. Für die Hochtemperaturexperimente wird eine bei der Hochtemperatur-Neutronenstreuung angewandte experimentelle Technik weiterentwickelt, um den Anforderungen der Leitfähigkeitsmessungen gerecht zu werden.
description: The aim of this work was the measuring of the electrical dc conductivity for the Zintl alloys Cs-Pb, K-Sb and K-Bi in a wide temperature range. The results of the experiments are combined with the results of neutron scattering experiments, to provide information about the correlation of structural and electronic properties of the alloys in the expanded state. Liquid Zintl alloys are very complex molecular liquids with a distinct short range order even in the expanded state. Covalent bonded polyanions are formed in the alloy by a partial charge transfer from the electropositive metal to the electronegative one. The structure of the alloy depends on the strength of this interaction and the size of the alkali metal. Also thermodynamic and transport properties like the electrical conductivity are affected by these effects. Conductivity measurements are carried out up to 1000 K above the melting points of the alloys. The measurement setup for the temperatures up to 1000 K is developed and an autoclave is built for the experiments. For the high temperature experiments the high temperature neutron scattering technique is modified to meet the requirements of conductivity measurements.

description: We review some aspects of the isotope effect (IE) in superconductors. Our focus is on the influence of factors not related to the pairing mechanism. After summarizing the main results obtained for conventional superconductors, we review the effect of magnetic impurities, the proximity effect and non-adiabaticity on the value of the isotope coefficient (IC). We discuss the isotope effect of $T_c$ and of the penetration depth $δ$. The theory is applied to conventional and high-$T_c$ superconductors. Experimental results obtained for YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ related materials (Zn and Pr-substituted as well as oxygen-depleted systems) and for La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ are discussed.

description: We show how strong light-mediated resonant dipole-dipole interactions between atoms can be utilized in a control and storage of light. The method is based on a high-fidelity preparation of a collective atomic excitation in a single correlated subradiant eigenmode in a lattice. We demonstrate how a simple phenomenological model captures the qualitative features of the dynamics and sharp transmission resonances that may find applications in sensing.

description: We present GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum well devices that can operate as both electron-hole (e-h) and hole-hole (h-h) bilayers, with separating barriers as narrow as 5 nm or 7.5 nm. With such narrow barriers, in the h-h configuration we observe signs of magnetic-field-induced exciton condensation in the quantum Hall bilayer regime. In the same devices we can study the zero-magnetic-field e-h and h-h bilayer states using Coulomb drag. Very strong e-h Coulomb drag resistivity (up to 10% of the single layer resistivity) is observed at liquid helium temperatures, but no definite signs of exciton condensation are seen in this case. Self-consistent calculations of the electron and hole wavefunctions show this might be because the average interlayer separation is larger in the e-h case than the h-h case.

description: The hadroproduction of the radially excited heavy-quarkonium states $ψ(2S)$ and $Υ(3S)$ at high energies is studied in the parton reggeization approach and the factorization formalism of nonrelativistic QCD at lowest order in the strong-coupling constant $α_s$ and the relative heavy-quark velocity $v$. A satisfactory description of the $ψ(2S)$ transverse-momentum ($p_T$) distributions measured by ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{S}=7$ TeV is obtained using the color-octet long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) extracted from CDF data at $\sqrt{S}=1.96$ TeV. The importance of the fragmentation mechanism and the scale evolution of the fragmentation functions in the upper $p_T$ range, beyond 30 GeV, is demonstrated. The $Υ(3S)$ $p_T$ distributions measured by CDF at $\sqrt{S}=1.8$ TeV and by LHCb at $\sqrt{S}=7$ TeV and forward rapidities are well described using LDMEs fitted to ATLAS data at $\sqrt{S}=7$ TeV. Comparisons of polarization measurements by CDF and CMS at large $p_T$ values with our predictions consolidate the familiar problem in the $ψ(2S)$ case, but yield reasonable agreement in the $Υ(3S)$ case.

description: We present a systematic study of the intensity mapping technique using updated models for the different emission lines from galaxies and identify which ones are more promising for cosmological studies of the post reionization epoch. We consider the emission of ${\rm Lyα}$, ${\rm Hα}$, H$β$, optical and infrared oxygen lines, nitrogen lines, CII and the CO rotational lines. We then identify that ${\rm Lyα}$, ${\rm Hα}$, OII, CII and the lowest rotational CO lines are the best candidates to be used as IM probes. These lines form a complementary set of probes of the galaxies emission spectra. We then use reasonable experimental setups from current, planned or proposed experiments to access the detectability of the power spectrum of each emission line. Intensity mapping of ${\rm Lyα}$ emission from $z=2$ to 3 will be possible in the near future with HETDEX, while far-infrared lines require new dedicated experiments. We also show that the proposed SPHEREx satellite can use OII and ${\rm Hα}$ IM to study the large-scale distribution of matter in intermediate redshifts of 1 to 4. We found that submilimeter experiments with bolometers can have similar performances at intermediate redshifts using CII and CO(3-2).

Dynamical Coulomb blockade theory of plasmon-mediated light emission from a tunnel junction

description: Inelastic tunneling of electrons can generate the emission of photons with energies intuitively limited by the applied bias voltage. However, experiments indicate that more complex processes involving the interaction of electrons with plasmon polaritons lead to photon emission with overbias energies. We recently proposed a model of this observation in Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{113}, 066801 (2014), in analogy to the dynamical Coulomb blockade, originally developed for treating the electromagnetic environment in mesoscopic circuits. This model describes the correlated tunneling of two electrons interacting with a local plasmon-polariton mode, represented by a resonant circuit, and shows that the overbias emission is due to the non-Gaussian fluctuations. Here we extend our model to study the overbias emission at finite temperature. We find that the thermal smearing strongly masks the overbias emission. Hence, the detection of the correlated tunneling processes requires temperatures $k_BT$ much lower than the bias energy $eV$ and the plasmon energy $\hbarω_0$, a condition which is fortunately realized experimentally.

description: Let $ϕ: M\to M$ be a diffeomorphism of a $C^\infty$ compact connected manifold, and $X$ its mapping torus. There is a natural fibration $p:X\to S^1$, denote by $ξ\in H^1(X, \mathbb{Z})$ the corresponding cohomology class. Let $λ\in \mathbb{Z}^*$. Consider the endomorphism $ϕ_k^*$ induced by $ϕ$ in the cohomology of $M$ of degree $k$, and denote by $J_k(λ)$ the maximal size of its Jordan block of eigenvalue $λ$. Define a representation $ρ_λ: π_1(X)\to\mathbb{C}^*$ by $ρ_λ(g) = λ^{p_*(g)}.$ Let $H^*(X,ρ_λ)$ be the corresponding twisted cohomology of $X$. We prove that $J_k(λ)$ is equal to the maximal length of a non-zero Massey product of the form $\langle ξ, \ldots , ξ, a\rangle$ where $a\in H^k(X,ρ_λ)$ (here the length means the number of entries of $ξ$). In particular, if $X$ is a strongly formal space (e.g. a Kähler manifold) then all the Jordan blocks of $ϕ_k^*$ are of size 1. If $X$ is a formal space, then all the Jordan blocks of eigenvalue 1 are of size 1. This leads to a simple construction of formal but not strongly formal mapping tori. The proof of the main theorem is based on the fact that the Massey products of the above form can be identified with differentials in a Massey spectral sequence, which in turn can be explicitly computed in terms of the Jordan normal form of $ϕ^*$.

description: Let $X$ be a smooth cubic hypersurface, and let $F$ be the Fano variety of lines on $X$. We establish a relation between the Chow motives of $X$ and $F$. This relation implies in particular that if $X$ has finite-dimensional motive (in the sense of Kimura), then $F$ also has finite-dimensional motive. This proves finite-dimensionality for motives of Fano varieties of cubics of dimension $3$ and $5$, and of certain cubics in other dimensions.
