Στην απαγόρευση που θεσπίζει ο νόμος εμπίπτουν η άμεση και έμμεση διάκριση, η παρενόχληση και η εντολή για εφαρμογή διακριτικής μεταχείρισης. Παρεκκλίσεις επιτρέπονται όταν τα άνω χαρακτηριστικά αποτελούν ουσιαστική και καθοριστική προϋπόθεση για την άσκηση μιας συγκεκριμένης επαγγελματικής δραστηριότητας, εφόσον ο στόχος είναι θεμιτός και η προϋπόθεση ανάλογη.Τέλος, υπέρ του θιγομένου από την διάκριση προσώπου εισάγονται ορισμένες αποδεικτικές ελαφρύνσεις (μερική αντιστροφή του βάρους απόδειξης) προκειμένου να μην ακυρώνεται σε δικονομικό επίπεδο το δικαίωμα αποτελεσματικής έννομης προστασίας.
description: The Greek legislature has adopted the statute 3304/2005 for the implementation of the directives 2000/43/EC and 2000/78/EC, which aim to lay down a framework for combating discrimination on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation as regards employment and occupation, with a view to putting into effect the principle of equal treatment.The directives apply to all kinds of discrimination, direct, indirect, harassment and instructions to discriminate. A difference of treatment does not constitute discrimination where these characteristics constitute a genuine and determining occupational requirement provided that the objective is legitimate and the requirement is proportionate.As far as the burden of proof is concerned, special provisions are established in order to protect the persons who consider themselves wronged because the principle of equal treatment has not been applied to them.

description: In marine operations underwater manipulators play a primordial role. However, due to uncertainties in the dynamic model and disturbances caused by the environment, low-level control methods require great capabilities to adapt to change. Furthermore, under position and torque constraints the requirements for the control system are greatly increased. Reinforcement learning is a data driven control technique that can learn complex control policies without the need of a model. The learning capabilities of these type of agents allow for great adaptability to changes in the operative conditions. In this article we present a novel reinforcement learning low-level controller for the position control of an underwater manipulator under torque and position constraints. The reinforcement learning agent is based on an actor-critic architecture using sensor readings as state information. Simulation results using the Reach Alpha 5 underwater manipulator show the advantages of the proposed control strategy.

description: In the field theoretical Glauber-Gribov framework in the eikonal approximation, we show that, in hadron-nucleus collisions in the high-energy limit and under especific conditions, the rescattering contributions to the J/psi production cross-section vanish, leading to an A^1 dependence on the atomic number A -- except for nuclear effects in the nucleus structure function, the so-called shadowing. We show that the RHIC data on $J/ψ$ production in d-Au collisions can be described with nuclear shadowing alone (sigma_{abs} = 0). The corresponding results for Au-Au collisions are also presented and compared with available data.

description: This report provides the barge equivalent static load distribution data needed to apply method II of vessel impact design for the Maysville, Kentucky bridge over the Ohio River. The information provided in this report is in accordance with the AASHTO Guide Specification and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges.  A computer program was written to process the database and calculate the probability based length, width., and capacity for each barge category. Additionally, a second computer program was written to calculate the probability based number of barges in a flotilla column and row, and subsequently categorize that flotilla based upon the barge length and width categories designated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The equivalent static impact loads were then calculated using the probability based flotilla sizes and tonnages.  The results indicated 12 barge categories occurring along the Maysville section of the Ohio River. The associated frequencies and impact loads are reported. The equivalent static load for the usually neglected 290 x 54 foot barge was calculated to be a maximum of 8,140 kips with a significant frequency of occurrence of 205 downbound passages per year.

description: Kentucky currently has the second longest navigable inland waterway system in the United States. Prior to the design of a bridge at a specific location on a river, a thorough investigation of barge traffic at that location ust be conducted. This report investigates the barge traffic on all navigable waterways in Kentucky. This report provides the data necessary to develop the risk assessment procedures for Kentucky vessel impact design problems in accordance with the AASHTO Guide Specification and Commentary for Vessel Collision Design of Highway Bridges design Method II. Method II is more rigorous to apply than Method I, but it is recommended by the guide specification for most bridges and should lead to more economical designs.  A computer program was written to process the database and calculate the probability based length, width, and capacity for each barge category. Additionally, a second computer program was written to calculate the probability based number of barges in a flotilla column and row, and subsequently categorize that flotilla based upon the barge length and width categories designated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The equivalent static impact loads were then calculated using the probability based flotilla sizes and tonnages. The calculations for the Maysville, KY bridge over the Ohio River are offered as a design example.

description: Precision measurement plays a crucial role in all fields of science. The use of entangled sensors in quantum metrology improves the precision limit from the standard quantum limit (SQL) to the Heisenberg limit (HL). To date, most experiments beating the SQL are performed on the sensors which are well isolated under extreme conditions. However, it has not been realized in solid-state spin systems at ambient conditions, owing to its intrinsic complexity for the preparation and survival of pure and entangled quantum states. Here we show a full interferometer sequence beating the SQL by employing a hybrid multi-spin system, namely the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond. The interferometer sequence starts from a deterministic and joint initialization, undergoes entanglement and disentanglement of multiple spins, and ends up with projective measurement. In particular, the deterministic and joint initialization of NV negative state, NV electron spin, and two nuclear spins is realized at room temperature for the first time. By means of optimal control, non-local gates are implemented with an estimated fidelity above the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum computation. With these techniques combined, we achieve two-spin interference with a phase sensitivity of 1.79 \pm 0.06 dB beyond the SQL and three-spin 2.77 \pm 0.10 dB. Moreover, the deviations from the HL induced by experimental imperfections are completely accountable. The techniques used here are of fundamental importance for quantum sensing and computing, and naturally applicable to other solid-state spin systems.

Factors affecting the enzymatic hydrolysis of primary clarifier sludges

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Bioconversion of cellulose to ethanol, by means of enzymatic hydrolysis, has been, and still is, the focus of much research interest since the early 1980s. The enzymatic hydrolysis process is well developed and offers an environmentally attractive option. However, many obstacles prevent the process from becoming commercially attractive. These obstacles include kinetic inhibitions (competitive reactions with lignin, intermediate and end-product inhibitions), difficulties in enzyme recycling, and economics. These hurdles have resulted in intense research over the last several decades. Despite the economic disadvantages of the enzymatic hydrolysis process, niche opportunities, such as the operations at the Tembec mill in Temiscaming, Quebec, still exist. The ethanol produced from its spent sulphite liquor is distilled to food-grade ethanol, which demands higher prices than fuel ethanol. Additional ethanol produced from Tembec's waste primary clarifier sludge (PCS), using enzymatic hydrolysis, could also be sold for similar use. This work explored several aspects of enzymatic hydrolysis to optimise the production of ethanol from Tembec's sulphite PCS. Batch hydrolysis results indicated that up to 50% of the PCS was hydrolysable by Trichoderma reesei enzymes. Adsorption experiments revealed that a significant fraction of enzyme activity was recoverable in the liquid hydrolysate. Oxygen delignification, as a pretreatment option for the PCS, was also examined. It was found that on a mass basis, a 68% increase in sugar yield from delignified PCS was possible over untreated PCS. A semi-continuous laboratory-scale hydrolysis reactor (22 L working volume) was run on both untreated and oxygen delignified PCS. In both cases, the yields represented 90% of the levels attained by batch hydrolysis.

description: As part of a large survey of halo and thick disc stars, we found one halo star, HD 106038, exceptionally overabundant in beryllium. In spite of its low metallicity, [Fe/H] = -1.26, the star has log(Be/H) = -10.60, which is similar to the solar meteoritic abundance, log(Be/H) = -10.58. This abundance is more than ten times higher the abundance of stars with similar metallicity and cannot be explained by models of chemical evolution of the Galaxy that include the standard theory of cosmic-ray spallation. No other halo star exhibiting such a beryllium overabundance is known. In addition, overabundances of Li, Si, Ni, Y, and Ba are also observed. We suggest that all these chemical peculiarities, but the Ba abundance, can be simultaneously explained if the star was formed in the vicinity of a hypernova.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The great technological advances that were made over the last decade in monitoring traffic and the increased emphasis on highway safety for truck traffic have prompted a need to determine more effective ways to monitor and inspect truck traffic. Commercial Vehicle Monitoring (CVM) facilities provide the highway community with the means of supervising truck traffic. However, in an era with limited funds and space for roadway expansion. some consideration must be given to the types of facilities needed and the most efficient way to spend the available funds. Hence, a research study was initiated to determine the successful practices for designing a new CVM facility or retrofitting or upgrading an existing facility; the findings are presented here. A questionnaire was distributed to all 50 states to identify the state of the nation with respect to the newly constructed and lately upgraded CVM facilities. This report focuses on the presentation of issues that need to be considered and addressed when designing or upgrading a CVM facility and provides a checklist of critical factors, considerations for facility components, and typical facility layouts.

Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: There is a need for better cost estimating and forecasting for highway work in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. KRS45.245 grants the Interim Joint Committee on Transportation oversight of the biennial highway plan, including a review of all authorized highway project phases that exceed their estimates by 15%. In recent years, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has suffered the loss of many resources necessary to produce good cost estimates.  Estimates developed using current methods are not sufficiently accurate to preclude cost overruns in excess of 15%. Since enactment of KRS45.245 (1 July 1992 263 overruns, totaling nearly $117 million, have been submitted to the Committee. All have been approved for additional funding.  A cost per mile database and estimating model were developed for preconstruction and construction. A cost per parcel database and model are being developed for estimating right of way. Recommendations for performance measurements to track improvements in cost forecasting ability are presented.

description: We propose a universal transformation from a many-boson state to a corresponding many-fermion state in the lowest Landau level approximation of rotating many-body systems, inspired by the Laughlin wave function and by the Jain composite-fermion construction. We employ the exact-diagonalization technique for finding the many-body states. The overlap between the transformed boson ground state and the true fermion ground state is calculated in order to measure the quality of the transformation. For very small and high angular momenta, the overlap is typically above 90%. For intermediate angular momenta, mixing between states complicates the picture and leads to small ground-state overlaps at some angular momenta.

description: Only 20\% of old field stars have detectable debris discs, leaving open the question of what disc, if any, is present around the remaining 80\%. Young moving groups allow to probe this population, since discs are expected to have been brighter early on. This paper considers the population of F~stars in the 23~Myr-old BPMG where we find that 9/12 targets possess discs. We also analyse archival ALMA data to derive radii for 4 of the discs, presenting the first image of the 63au radius disc of HD~164249. Comparing the BPMG results to disc samples from $\sim45$~Myr and $\sim150$~Myr-old moving~groups, and to discs found around field stars, we find the disc incidence rate in young moving~groups is comparable to that of the BPMG and significantly higher than that of field~stars. The BPMG discs tend to be smaller than those around field~stars. However, this difference is not statistically significant due to the small number of targets. Yet, by analysing the fractional luminosity vs disc radius parameter space we find that the fractional luminosities in the populations considered drop by two orders of magnitude within the first 100~Myr. This is much faster than expected by collisional evolution, implying a decay equivalent to $1/\text{age}^2$. We attribute this depletion to embedded planets which would be around 170~$M_\text{earth}$ to cause a depletion on the appropriate timescale. However, we cannot rule out that different birth environments of nearby young clusters result in brighter debris discs than the progenitors of field~stars which likely formed in a more dense environment.

description: UKSLOPE is a comprehensive, PC-based, slope stability computer program that can be used to design and analyze reinforced and unreinforced earth structures. The computer program consists of two parts: limit equilibrium models and a computerized method for determining the spacing, length, Md number of tensile reinforcement elements. The design of reinforcement elements generally follows guidelines developed by the Tensar® Corporation. However, some modifications and improvements to the original methods have been made. The slope stability analysis portion of UKSLOPE is based partly on the original mainframe version. The following are the main features of the program:      UKSLOPE is an extremely user-friendly, menu-driven, computer program. Its Graphical User Interface offers a convenient way to input data and to analyze the results.     The program can be used tor both design and analysis of earth structures .     Both reinforced and unreinforced earth structures can be analyzed by the program .     A vaiety of limiting equilibrium methods can be used for stability analysis. These models include newly developed statical/y consistent methods, which can be used to analyze both circular and noncircular failure surfaces, and also the traditional Bishop's method.     Four options are offered to simulate pore pressures in an unstable soil mass. These options cover most practical cases.  Many example problems were considered in the research study. These examples were analyzed by both UKSLOPE and other computer programs. The results of the analyses show that UKSLOPE yields reasonable answers and can be used in practical applications.

description: Det er velkendt, at Danmarks officielle trafikulykkesstatistik med omkring 550 personskader/mio. indbyggere/år er forbundet med et stort mørketal. I en befolkningsundersøgelse blandt 5.532 repræsentativt udvalgte danskere på eller over 18 år har vi estimeret et mere retvisende ulykkestal. Undersøgelsen viser, at det bedste bud er, at for hver million indbygger på eller over 18 år i Danmark kommer 14.637 hvert år til skade i trafikken i et omfang, så de tager på hospitalernes akutmodtagelser, til egen læge eller til vagtlægen. Næsten halvdelen af dem har fravær fra arbejde eller skole og en tredjedel modtager genoptræning i forbindelse med ulykken. 72 % af de kvæstede er bløde trafikanter, og 68 % af ulykkerne sker i byområder. Dette er i klar modsætning til den officielle ulykkesstatistik, hvor cyklister og fodgængere kun udgør 36 % af de tilskadekomne, og uheld i byområder kun 53 % af samtlige personskadeuheld. En af konsekvenserne ved det store mørketal kan være, at det ulykkesforebyggende arbejde nedprioriteres i den politiske proces, samtidig med at arbejdet vægtes med uforholdsmæssig stor vægt på bilulykker på landet og for lidt vægt på ulykker med bløde trafikanter i byerne.

description: Energetic electrons are a common feature of interplanetary shocks and planetary bow shocks, and they are invoked as a key component of models of nonthermal radio emission, such as solar radio bursts. A simulation study is carried out of electron acceleration for high Mach number, quasi-perpendicular shocks, typical of the shocks in the solar wind. Two dimensional self-consistent hybrid shock simulations provide the electric and magnetic fields in which test particle electrons are followed. A range of different shock types, shock normal angles, and injection energies are studied. When the Mach number is low, or the simulation configuration suppresses fluctuations along the magnetic field direction, the results agree with theory assuming magnetic moment conserving reflection (or Fast Fermi acceleration), with electron energy gains of a factor only 2 - 3. For high Mach number, with a realistic simulation configuration, the shock front has a dynamic rippled character. The corresponding electron energization is radically different: Energy spectra display: (1) considerably higher maximum energies than Fast Fermi acceleration; (2) a plateau, or shallow sloped region, at intermediate energies 2 - 5 times the injection energy; (3) power law fall off with increasing energy, for both upstream and downstream particles, with a slope decreasing as the shock normal angle approaches perpendicular; (4) sustained flux levels over a broader region of shock normal angle than for adiabatic reflection. All these features are in good qualitative agreement with observations, and show that dynamic structure in the shock surface at ion scales produces effective scattering and can be responsible for making high Mach number shocks effective sites for electron acceleration.

description: Clusters of galaxies are self-gravitating systems of mass ~10^14-10^15 Msun. They consist of dark matter (~80 %), hot diffuse intracluster plasma (< 20 %) and a small fraction of stars, dust, and cold gas, mostly locked in galaxies. In most clusters, scaling relations between their properties testify that the cluster components are in approximate dynamical equilibrium within the cluster gravitational potential well. However, spatially inhomogeneous thermal and non-thermal emission of the intracluster medium (ICM), observed in some clusters in the X-ray and radio bands, and the kinematic and morphological segregation of galaxies are a signature of non-gravitational processes, ongoing cluster merging and interactions. In the current bottom-up scenario for the formation of cosmic structure, clusters are the most massive nodes of the filamentary large-scale structure of the cosmic web and form by anisotropic and episodic accretion of mass. In this model of the universe dominated by cold dark matter, at the present time most baryons are expected to be in a diffuse component rather than in stars and galaxies; moreover, ~50 % of this diffuse component has temperature ~0.01-1 keV and permeates the filamentary distribution of the dark matter. The temperature of this Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) increases with the local density and its search in the outer regions of clusters and lower density regions has been the quest of much recent observational effort. Over the last thirty years, an impressive coherent picture of the formation and evolution of cosmic structures has emerged from the intense interplay between observations, theory and numerical experiments. Future efforts will continue to test whether this picture keeps being valid, needs corrections or suffers dramatic failures in its predictive power.

description: A super Lie group is a group whose operations are $G^{\infty}$ mappings in the sense of Rogers. Thus the underlying supermanifold possesses an atlas whose transition functions are $G^{\infty}$ functions. Moreover the images of our charts are open subsets of a graded infinite-dimensional Banach space since our space of supernumbers is a Banach Grassmann algebra with a countably infinite set of generators. In this context, we prove that if $\hfrak$ is a closed, split sub-super Lie algebra of the super Lie algebra of a super Lie group $\Gcal,$ then $\hfrak$ is the super Lie algebra of a sub-super Lie group of $\Gcal.$ Additionally, we show that if $\gfrak$ is a Banach super Lie algebra satisfying certain natural conditions, then there is a super Lie group $\Gcal$ such that the even part of $\gfrak$ is the even part of the super Lie algebra of $\Gcal.$ In general, the module structure on $\gfrak$ is required to obtain $\Gcal,$ but the "structure constants" involving the odd part of $\gfrak$ can not be recovered without further restrictions. We also show that if $\Hcal$ is a closed sub-super Lie group of a super Lie group $\Gcal,$ then $\Gcal \rar \Gcal/\Hcal$ is a principal fiber bundle. Finally, we show that if $\gfrak$ is a graded Lie algebra over $C,$ then there is a super Lie group whose super Lie algebra is the Grassmann shell of $\gfrak.$ We also briefly relate our theory to techniques used in the physics literature.

description: A deterministic system of interacting agents is considered as a model for economic dynamics. The dynamics of the system is described by a coupled map lattice with near neighbor interactions. The evolution of each agent results from the competition between two factors: the agent's own tendency to grow and the environmental influence that moderates this growth. Depending on the values of the parameters that control these factors, the system can display Pareto or Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical behaviors in its asymptotic dynamical regime. The regions where these behaviors appear are calculated on the space of parameters of the system. Other statistical properties, such as the mean wealth, the standard deviation, and the Gini coefficient characterizing the degree of equity in the wealth distribution are also calculated on the space of parameters of the system.

Sum rules and the domain after the last node of an eigenstate

description: It is shown that it is possible to establish sum rules that must be satisfied at the nodes and extrema of the eigenstates of confining potentials which are functions of a single variable. At any boundstate energy the Schroedinger equation has two linearly independent solutions one of which is normalisable while the other is not. In the domain after the last node of a boundstate eigenfunction the unnormalisable linearly independent solution has a simple form which enables the construction of functions analogous to Green's functions that lead to certain sum rules. One set of sum rules give conditions that must be satisfied at the nodes and extrema of the boundstate eigenfunctions of confining potentials. Another sum rule establishes a relation between an integral involving an eigenfunction in the domain after the last node and a sum involving all the eigenvalues and eigenstates. Such sum rules may be useful in the study of properties of confining potentials. The exactly solvable cases of the particle in a box and the simple harmonic oscillator are used to illustrate the procedure. The relations between one of the sum rules and two-particle densities and a construction based on Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics are discussed.

description: The perpetual opposition between antiviruses and malware leads both parties to evolve continuously. On the one hand, antiviruses put in place solutions that are more and more sophisticated and propose more complex detection techniques in addition to the classic signature analysis. This sophistication leads antiviruses to leave more traces of their presence on the machine they protect. To remain undetected as long as possible, malware can avoid executing within such environments by hunting down the modifications left by the antiviruses. This paper aims at determining the possibilities for malware to detect the antiviruses and then evaluating the efficiency of these techniques on a panel of antiviruses that are the most used nowadays. We then collect samples showing this kind of behavior and propose to evaluate a countermeasure that creates false artifacts, thus forcing malware to evade.

description: We present a technique for the single-shot measurement of the space- and time-resolved spatiotemporal amplitude and phase of an ultrashort laser pulse. The method, transient-grating single-shot supercontinuum spectral interferometry (TG- SSSI), is demonstrated by the space-time imaging of short pulses carrying spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs). TG-SSSI is well-suited for characterizing ultrashort laser pulses that contain singularities associated with spin/orbital angular momentum or polarization.

description: Consciousness about power consumption at the appliance level can assist user in promoting energy efficiency in households. In this paper, a superior non-intrusive appliance recognition method that can provide particular consumption footprints of each appliance is proposed. Electrical devices are well recognized by the combination of different descriptors via the following steps: (a) investigating the applicability along with performance comparability of several time-domain (TD) feature extraction schemes; (b) exploring their complementary features; and (c) making use of a new design of the ensemble bagging tree (EBT) classifier. Consequently, a powerful feature extraction technique based on the fusion of TD features is proposed, namely fTDF, aimed at improving the feature discrimination ability and optimizing the recognition task. An extensive experimental performance assessment is performed on two different datasets called the GREEND and WITHED, where power consumption signatures were gathered at 1 Hz and 44000 Hz sampling frequencies, respectively. The obtained results revealed prime efficiency of the proposed fTDF based EBT system in comparison with other TD descriptors and machine learning classifiers.

Unraveling the Non-Hermitian Skin Effect in Dissipative Systems

description: The non-Hermitian skin effect, i.e. eigenstate condensation at the edges in lattices with open boundaries, is an exotic manifestation of non-Hermitian systems. In Bloch theory, an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is generally used to describe dissipation, which however is not norm-preserving and neglects quantum jumps. Here it is shown that in a self-consistent description of the dissipative dynamics in a one-band lattice, based on the stochastic Schrödinger equation or Lindblad master equation with a collective jump operator, the skin effect and its dynamical features are washed out. Nevertheless, both short- and long-time relaxation dynamics provide a hidden signature of the skin effect found in the semiclassical limit. In particular, relaxation toward a maximally mixed state with the largest von Neumann entropy in a lattice with open boundaries is a manifestation of the semiclassical skin effect.

On the origin of soft X-rays in obscured AGN: answers from high-resolution spectroscopy with XMM-Newton

description: We present results of a high-resolution soft X-ray (0.2-2 keV) spectroscopic study of a sample of 69 nearby obscured Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) observed with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) on board XMM-Newton. This is the largest sample ever studied with this technique so far. The main conclusions of our study can be summarized as follows: a) narrow Radiative Recombination Continua are detected in about 36% of the objects in our sample (in 26% their intrinsic width is <10 eV); b) higher order transitions are generally enhanced with respect to pure photoionization, indicating that resonant scattering plays an important role in the ionization/excitation balance. These results support the scenario, whereby the active nucleus is responsible for the X-ray ``soft excess'' almost ubiquitously observed in nearby obscured AGN via photoionization of circumnuclear gas. They confirm on a statistical basis the conclusions drawn from the detailed study of the brightest spectra in the sample. Furthermore, we propose a criterion to statistically discriminate between AGN-photoionized sources and starburst galaxies, based on intensity of the forbidden component of the OVII He-alpha triplet (once normalized to the OVIII Ly-alpha) coupled with the integrated luminosity in He-like and H-like oxygen lines.
