description: Contrary to the famous Asia Minor Catastrophe, the disastrous events of 6-7 September 1955 in Istanbul are restricted to limited circles. This research aims to shed light on a rather unknown violent act that caused the diminishment of the Greek minority community in Istanbul. For the majority of the minorities, the 6-7 September episodes were proof that they would never be accepted as equal citizens of the Turkish state and would always be vulnerable for discrimination. Using secondary sources in presenting the historical context of treaties, the nationalistic and the sociopolitical actors as background of the period between 1923-1955, the research foresees to capture attention and offer solid ground for providing a convincing answer as to why the events occurred. In parallel, after having examined the concepts of massacre, genocide, pogrom and ethic riot, the research classifies the events. Furthermore, by presenting a little- known atrocity, but not less important in the aspect of history and human rights, the present dissertation expects to contribute to a possible research collaboration on human rights studies in the South East European area.

description: Human Rights Defenders in the Middle East often face dangerous conditions throughout their work. Many have been subjected to human rights violations. As a result, most Human Rights Defenders operate far from the region. In order to understand the circumstances faced by Human Rights Defenders in the Middle East, this thesis analyses the factors contributing to the situation of Human Rights Defenders in the Middle East and the framework in which they operate. Given the complexity and diversity of the situation, the thesis mainly only covers Lebanon. Prior to the examination and analysis of the situation of Human Rights defenders in Lebanon, a thorough analysis of the term “Human Rights Defenders”, and its scope, is conducted in this thesis. The declaration on human rights defenders was the starting point for the protection of human rights defenders around the world. Similarly, the thesis relies on the declaration on human rights defenders as its starting point to address the issues at stake. This thesis also outlines the existing protection mechanisms available for human rights defenders operating in the Middle East and presents a historical analysis of Lebanon with regards to its human rights work, including a comprehensive mapping of different stakeholders and their activities. This thesis mainly analyzes three different factors contributing to the situation of human rights defenders; legal framework, state policies and practices, non-state actors and societal cultures and practices. The examination of these factors identifies the challenges faced by human rights defenders in Lebanon, which is consequently used to outline best practices for the protection of human rights defenders in Lebanon. This thesis hopes to help researchers and activists better understand the situation for human rights defenders in Lebanon and propose effective avenues of protection for human rights defenders suitable for the context of Lebanon. It aims to raise awareness and combat the consequences of being a human rights defender in the Middle East. The main purpose of this research is to help researchers and activists gain a more holistic, nuanced understanding of the topic at hand.

description: We demonstrate a nonradiative flat band for spoof surface plasmon polaritons bounded on a structured surface with Lieb lattice symmetry in the terahertz regime. First, we theoretically derive the dispersion relation of spoof plasmons in a metallic Lieb lattice based on the electrical circuit model. We obtain three bands, one of which is independent of wave vector. To confirm the theoretical result, we numerically and experimentally observe the flat band in transmission and attenuated total reflection configurations. We reveal that the quality factor of the nonradiative flat-band mode decoupled from the propagating wave is higher than that of the radiative flat-band mode. This indicates that the nonradiative flat-band mode is three-dimensionally confined in the lattice.

Magneto-rotational instability in the protolunar disk

description: (Abridged) We perform the first study of magnetohydrodynamic processes in the protolunar disk (PLD). With the use of published data on the chemical composition of the PLD, along with existing analytical models of the disk structure, we show that the high temperatures that were prevalent in the disk would have led to ionization of Na, K, SiO, Zn and, to a lesser extent, O$_2$. We assume that the disk has a vapor structure. The resulting ionization fractions, together with a relatively weak magnetic field, would have been sufficient to trigger the magneto-rotational instability, or MRI. We calculate the intensity of the resulting magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, as parameterized by the dimensionless ratio $α$ of turbulent stresses to gas pressure, and obtain maximum values $α\sim 10^{-2}$ along most of the vertical extent of the disk, and at different orbital radii. Under these conditions, turbulent mixing within the PLD due to the MRI was likely capable of transporting isotopic and chemical species efficiently. To test these results in a conservative manner, we carry out a numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulation of a small, rectangular patch of the PLD, located at 4 Earth radii ($r_{\rm E}$) from the center of the Earth, and assuming once again that the disk is completely gaseous. We obtain turbulence with an average intensity $α\sim 7\times 10^{-6}$ over the course of 280 orbital periods (133 days at 4$r_{\rm{E}}$). Despite this relatively low value of $α$, the effective turbulent diffusivity of a passive tracer introduced in the flow is large enough to allow the tracer to spread across a radial distance of $10r_{\rm{E}}$ in $\sim13-129$ yr, less than the estimated cooling time of the PLD of $\sim250$ yr. Further improvements to our model will need to incorporate the energy balance in the disk, a complete two-phase structure, and a more realistic equation of state.

Geometric-Algebra LMS Adaptive Filter and its Application to Rotation Estimation

description: This paper exploits Geometric (Clifford) Algebra (GA) theory in order to devise and introduce a new adaptive filtering strategy. From a least-squares cost function, the gradient is calculated following results from Geometric Calculus (GC), the extension of GA to handle differential and integral calculus. The novel GA least-mean-squares (GA-LMS) adaptive filter, which inherits properties from standard adaptive filters and from GA, is developed to recursively estimate a rotor (multivector), a hypercomplex quantity able to describe rotations in any dimension. The adaptive filter (AF) performance is assessed via a 3D point-clouds registration problem, which contains a rotation estimation step. Calculating the AF computational complexity suggests that it can contribute to reduce the cost of a full-blown 3D registration algorithm, especially when the number of points to be processed grows. Moreover, the employed GA/GC framework allows for easily applying the resulting filter to estimating rotors in higher dimensions.

description: Für den Nachweis gegen Ermüdung von älteren bestehenden Spannbetonbrücken oder Neubauten werden Bemessungswöhlerlinien für Spannstahl im einbetonierten Zustand benötigt. Die bisherigen Versuche mit gekrümmten Spanngliedern im nachträglichen Verbund decken die Wöhlerlinie im Wesentlichen im Zeitfestigkeitsbereich ab. Nur sehr wenige Versuche weisen Lastspielzahlen über 10 Mio. auf, wobei keine echte Dauerfestigkeit erkennbar ist. Daher ist der Verlauf der Wöhlerlinie im Dauerfestigkeitsbereich im Wesentlichen hypothetisch festgelegt worden. Im Rahmen eines Teilprojektes im SFB 823 „Statistik nichtlinearer dynamischer Prozesse“ an der TU Dortmund wird die Ermüdungsfestigkeit einbetonierter Spannstähle im Bereich bis etwa 10^8 Lastzyklen experimentell untersucht. Des Weiteren wurden auf Grundlage der sehr umfangreichen Datenbasis verschiedener gemessener physikalischer Größen mit mathematisch statistischen Methoden mehrere Prognoseverfahren entwickelt. Diese ermöglichen bei vorgegebener Aussagewahrscheinlichkeit die Abschätzung eines Prognoseintervalls mit Mittelwert- und Quantilkurven für den Schädigungsverlauf.

description: This work addresses the interactions of aerosols, clouds and dynamics in case of a so-called Medicane. This type of cyclone occurs over the Mediterranean Sea, showing similarities to Hurricanes over the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Due to the high wind speed of the Medicane, a large amount of sea salt particles is emitted over the sea. This can influence the development of the Medicane, its associated clouds, and precipitation.

description: The ongoing climate crisis will have a significant impact on the health of people across the world. The effect of extreme heat and air pollution is predicted to impact those already made vulnerable, including women, pregnant and postpartum people, children and newborns. This makes interventions that can mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis on maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) critical. This scoping review aims to map existing academic and grey literature on interventions designed to mitigate the impact of extreme heat and air pollution on MNCH. It maps literature from across the globe published after the Paris Agreement in December 2015, using a systematic search strategy. It aims to map the geographic spread and types of interventions, including target populations, to identify where there are current gaps in knowledge and evidence that are necessary to address in future health policy, programming, and research.

description: The way we look at data has a great impact on how we can understand it, particularly when the data is related to health and wellness. Due to the increased use of self-tracking devices and the ongoing shift towards preventive medicine, better understanding of our health data is an important part of improving the general welfare of the citizens. Electronic Health Records, self-tracking devices and mobile applications provide a rich variety of data but it often becomes difficult to understand. We implemented the hFigures library inspired on the hGraph visualization with additional improvements. The purpose of the library is to provide a visual representation of the evolution of health measurements in a complete and useful manner. We researched the usefulness and usability of the library by building an application for health data visualization in a health coaching program. We performed a user evaluation with Heuristic Evaluation, Controlled User Testing and Usability Questionnaires. In the Heuristics Evaluation the average response was 6.3 out of 7 points and the Cognitive Walkthrough done by usability experts indicated no design or mismatch errors. In the CSUQ usability test the system obtained an average score of 6.13 out of 7, and in the ASQ usability test the overall satisfaction score was 6.64 out of 7. We developed hFigures, an open source library for visualizing a complete, accurate and normalized graphical representation of health data. The idea is based on the concept of the hGraph but it provides additional key features, including a comparison of multiple health measurements over time. We conducted a usability evaluation of the library as a key component of an application for health and wellness monitoring. The results indicate that the data visualization library was helpful in assisting users in understanding health data and its evolution over time.

description: Coherent interactions at a distance provide a powerful tool for quantum simulation and computation. The most common approach to realize an effective long-distance coupling 'on-chip' is to use a quantum mediator, as has been demonstrated for superconducting qubits and trapped ions. For quantum dot arrays, which combine a high degree of tunability with extremely long coherence times, the experimental demonstration of coherent spin-spin coupling via an intermediary system remains an important outstanding goal. Here, we use a linear triple-quantum-dot array to demonstrate a first working example of a coherent interaction between two distant spins via a quantum mediator. The two outer dots are occupied with a single electron spin each and the spins experience a superexchange interaction through the empty middle dot which acts as mediator. Using single-shot spin read-out we measure the coherent time evolution of the spin states on the outer dots and observe a characteristic dependence of the exchange frequency as a function of the detuning between the middle and outer dots. This approach may provide a new route for scaling up spin qubit circuits using quantum dots and aid in the simulation of materials and molecules with non-nearest neighbour couplings such as MnO, high-temperature superconductors and DNA. The same superexchange concept can also be applied in cold atom experiments.

description: There is an increasing demand for smart fogcomputing gateways as the size of cloud data is growing. This paper presents a Fog computing interface (FIT) for processing clinical speech data. FIT builds upon our previous work on EchoWear, a wearable technology that validated the use of smartwatches for collecting clinical speech data from patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The fog interface is a low-power embedded system that acts as a smart interface between the smartwatch and the cloud. It collects, stores, and processes the speech data before sending speech features to secure cloud storage. We developed and validated a working prototype of FIT that enabled remote processing of clinical speech data to get speech clinical features such as loudness, short-time energy, zero-crossing rate, and spectral centroid. We used speech data from six patients with PD in their homes for validating FIT. Our results showed the efficacy of FIT as a Fog interface to translate the clinical speech processing chain (CLIP) from a cloud-based backend to a fog-based smart gateway.

description: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare inflammatory myeloid neoplasia with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. The activation of the MAP kinase pathway plays an integral role in its pathogenesis with genetic alterations found in the majority of cases that most frequently involve a somatic mutation of the oncogenic BRAFV600E variant. In this study we investigated the prevalence of the BRAFV600E mutation and its clinical relevance in adult Greek patients with LCH. Among 37 patients studied, the BRAFV600E mutation was identified in 12 out of 31 (38.7%), whereas in six patients (19.3%) the results were in conclusive. The presence of the mutation did not correlate with age at diagnosis, organ involvement, disease extent, response to initial treatment, development of diabetes insipidus and relapse risk. In our series the prevalence of the BRAFV600E mutation is at the lower range of the relative percentage found in children, but in line to that obtained in previous studies of adult patients with LCH that have found an up to 50% prevalence of the BRAFV600E mutation in these patients. Further studies with a larger number of adults are needed to identify the exact prevalence of mutations in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway and their role on clinical parameters and disease outcomes.

description: The Gurari\uı space is the unique separable Banach space $\mathbb{G}$ which is of almost universal disposition for finite-dimensional Banach spaces, which means that for every $\varepsilon>0$, for all finite-dimensional normed spaces $E \subseteq F$, for every isometric embedding ${e}\colon{E}\to{\mathbb{G}}$ there exists an $\varepsilon$-isometric embedding ${f}\colon{F}\to{\mathbb{G}}$ such that $f \restriction E = e$. We show that $\mathbb{G}^{\mathbb{N}}$ with a special sequence of semi-norms is of almost universal disposition for finite-dimensional graded Fréchet spaces. The construction relies heavily on the universal operator on the Gurari\uı space, recently constructed by Garbulińska-Wegrzyn and the third author. This yields in particular that $\mathbb{G}^{\mathbb{N}}$ is universal in the class of all separable Fréchet spaces.

description: Many countries have introduced Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) to mitigate information asymmetry problems with respect to the thermal quality of houses. Using big data on real estate advertisements that cover large parts of the German housing market, this paper empirically investigates the consequences of a shift from a voluntary to a mandatory quality disclosure regime on the offer prices of houses. Illustrated by a stylized theoretical model, we test the following key hypothesis: Prices for houses whose owners would not voluntarily disclose their house’s energy consumption in real estate advertisements should decrease upon a shift to a mandatory disclosure scheme. Employing an instrumental variable approach to cope with the endogeneity of disclosure decisions, our analysis demonstrates the relative advantage of mandatory over voluntary disclosure rules.

description: Complete fusion cross sections in collisions of light, weakly bound nuclei and high Z targets show above-barrier suppression of complete fusion. This has been interpreted as resulting from breakup of the weakly bound nucleus prior to reaching the fusion barrier, reducing the probability of complete fusion. This paper investigates how these conclusions are affected by lifetimes of the resonant states that are populated prior to breakup. If the mean life of a populated resonance is much longer than the fusion timescale, then its breakup cannot suppress complete fusion. For short-lived resonances, the situation is more complex. This work includes the mean life of the short-lived 2+ resonance in 8Be in classical dynamical model calculations to determine its effect on energy and angular correlations of the breakup fragments and on predictions of fusion suppression. Coincidence measurements of breakup fragments produced in reactions of 9Be with 144Sm, 168Er, 186W, 196Pt, 208Pb and 209Bi at energies below the barrier are re-analysed. Predictions of breakup observables and of complete and incomplete fusion at energies above the fusion barrier are made using the classical dynamical simulation code PLATYPUS, modified to include the lifetimes of short-lived resonant states. The agreement of the breakup observables is improved when lifetime effects are included. The predicted suppression of complete fusion due to breakup is nearly independent of Z, with an average value of 9%, below the experimentally determined fusion suppression of 30% in these systems. This more realistic treatment of breakup leads to the conclusion that the suppression of complete fusion cannot be fully explained by breakup prior to reaching the fusion barrier. Other mechanisms that can suppress complete fusion must be investigated. A candidate is cluster transfer that produces the same nuclei as incomplete fusion.

Manipulating localized matter waves in multi-component Bose-Einstein condensates

description: We analyze vector localized solutions of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) with variable nonlinearity parameter and external trap potential through similarity transformation technique which transforms the two coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations into a pair of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations with constant coefficients under a specific integrability condition. In this analysis we consider three different types of external trap potentials: a time-independent trap, a time-dependent monotonic trap, and a time-dependent periodic trap. We point out the existence of different interesting localized structures, namely rogue waves, dark-and bright soliton-rogue wave, and rogue wave-breather-like wave for the above three cases of trap potentials. We show how the vector localized density profiles in a constant background get deformed when we tune the strength of the trap parameter. Further we investigate the nature of the trajectories of the nonautonomous rogue waves. We also construct the dark-dark rogue wave solution for repulsive-repulsive interaction of two-component BECs and analyze the associated characteristics for the three different kinds of traps. We then deduce single, two and three composite rogue waves for three component BECs and discuss the correlated characteristics when we tune the strength of the trap parameter for different trap potentials.

description: In this article, a network model incorporating both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) transmissions is proposed to investigate impacts of blockages in urban areas on heterogeneous network coverage performance. Results show that co-existence of NLOS and LOS transmissions has a significant impact on network performance. We find in urban areas, that deploying more BSs in different tiers is better than merely deploying all BSs in the same tier in terms of coverage probability.

Emergent quantum mechanics without wave functions

description: We present our model of an Emergent Quantum Mechanics which can be characterized by "realism without pre-determination". This is illustrated by our analytic description and corresponding computer simulations of Bohmian-like "surreal" trajectories, which are obtained classically, i.e. without the use of any quantum mechanical tool such as wave functions. However, these trajectories do not necessarily represent ontological paths of particles but rather mappings of the probability density flux in a hydrodynamical sense. Modelling emergent quantum mechanics in a high-low intesity double slit scenario gives rise to the "quantum sweeper effect" with a characteristic intensity pattern. This phenomenon should be experimentally testable via weak measurement techniques.

A Stackelberg Game Model for Overlay D2D Transmission with Heterogeneous Rate Requirements

description: This paper studies the performance of overlay device-to-device (D2D) communication links via carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) protocols. We assume that the D2D links have heterogeneous rate requirements and different willingness to pay, and each of them acts non-altruistically to achieve its target rate while maximizing its own payoff. Spatial reuse is allowed if the links are not interfering with each other. A non-cooperative game model is used to address the resource allocation among the D2D links, at the same time leveraging on the ideal CSMA network (ICN) model to address the physical channel access issue. We propose a Stackelberg game in which the base station in the cellular network acts as a Stackelberg leader to regulate the individual payoff by modifying the unit service price so that the total D2D throughput is maximized. The problem is shown to be quasi-convex and can be solved by a sequence of equivalent convex optimization problems. The pricing strategies are designed so that the network always operates within the feasible throughput region. The results are verified by simulations.

description: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) frequently use vocal exercises in the treatment of patients with speech disorders. Patients receive treatment in a clinical setting and need to practice outside of the clinical setting to generalize speech goals to functional communication. In this paper, we describe the development of technology that captures mixed speech signals in a group setting and allows the SLP to analyze the speech signals relative to treatment goals. The mixed speech signals are blindly separated into individual signals that are preprocessed before computation of loudness, pitch, shimmer, jitter, semitone standard deviation and sharpness. The proposed method has been previously validated on data obtained from clinical trials of people with Parkinson disease and healthy controls.
