description: This report is Deliverable D9.6 of the SSHOC project. It provides a precondition for subsequent reports D9.7 (Design and Planning of a Knowledge Graph), and D9.9 (Production of a user validated Knowledge Graph). Knowledge graphs are infrastructural tools, in the form of models of knowledge in a substantive domain that connect otherwise isolated silos of information about, for example, publications, data-sets, events, people, tools, etc. They allow the identification of relationships between the objects in these different silos that would otherwise be difficult to detect. Knowledge graphs are therefore potentially important aspects of the infrastructure that SSHOC aims to develop for the social sciences and humanities, and that would promote repurposing and re-use of scientific publications, data and analytical results; multidisciplinary collaboration; and increase the potential for societal impact. WP9 is tasked with the development of a knowledge graph in the field of electoral studies. This development requires first of all a clear description and demarcation of this substantive field and its user community, which will be provided in this report. The definition and demarcation is achieved by elaborating key aspects of the field. These aspects are discussed in subsections 2.2 – 2.6 of this report, and relate to, respectively, the varieties of elections, electoral outcomes, candidates and voters, rules of the game, communications and comparative approaches that are characteristic for the field, separately as well as in their possible combinations. After having defined the field in terms of its distinctive aspects, the question is addressed how to identify and reach its important user communities. It is argued that this can only be achieved through organisational features of such user communities, which can be located in, respectively, professional organisations, dedicated scholarly conferences, dedicated publication outlets, and dedicated tools and resources. Each of these is discussed, leading to the conclusion that dedicated conferences in electoral studies can be expected to provide the most efficient options to reach relevant user communities located at the core of the field. Specific cases of such conferences are identified, which will serve as occasions for disseminating information about SSHOC, and particularly for soliciting feedback and recruiting collaborators for the developent of the Electoral Studies Knowledge Graph that is one of the core deliverables of Work Package 9.

description: The nucleation and growth of CdS nanoparticles within a polymer matrix was followed by in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. The nanoparticles form by effect of the thermolysis of thiolate precursors at temperatures between 200 and 300 Celsius degrees. Above 240 Celsius degrees the precursor decomposition is complete and CdS nanoparticles grow in the polymer matrix forming a nanocomposite with interesting optical properties. The nanoparticle structural properties (size and crystal structure) depend on the annealing temperature.(abridged version)

Geschichte in Literatur-- Literatur als Geschichte: Fürst Pücklers literarische Stellungnahme zu den historisch-politischen und sozialen Zuständen seiner Zeit dargestellt an den Werken : Briefe eines Verstorbenen, Tutti Frutti und Südöstlicher Bildersaal

description: Fürst Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871) is a writer whose work enjoyed immense popularity in his lifetime. Today, however, he is largely forgotten or ignored. This thesis proposes the rehabilitation of Nickler in German literary history. His work, consisting mainly of travelogues, achieves a stylistic distinction comparable to that of Heinrich Heine, and depicts events, places and people with a political and social perception that shows him to have been far ahead of his time. Nickler has always been a controversial figure. Though seen by some of his contemporaries as one of Germany's most influential and eloquent liberal travelogue-writers, he was also denounced as a second-rate poet who pandered to the aristocracy. As far as it exists, modern Nickler scholarship grants his work its deserved position in the genre of travel literature, but does not fully recognize its importance as politically and socially committed writing. For most of his life Pückler was interested in social and political questions. During his travels in Great Britain (1826-1828), documented in the Briefe eines Verstorbenen, he was introduced to the English political system. Henceforth, he proclaimed the need for a German constitutional monarchy. While travelling in Ireland he witnessed the struggle of the Irish people and became a strong supporter of the Irish emancipation movement. In Germany, he came in close contact with the group of writers known as "Junges Deutschland." Their writings were outlawed by the authorities in 1835, because of their treatment of political issues ranging from freedom of the press, autonomy of the universities, and constitutional questions, to the need for greater social justice. When he raised these issues in Tutti Frutti (1834), Nickler narrowly escaped a ban on the publication of his works, for some reactionary circles considered him a liberal agitator. Indeed, both Nickler's early pieces and his later work, such as the travel narrative Süd Ostlicher Bildersaal(1840), depicting the Wittelsbacher reign in Greece and the author’s association with the autocratic King of the Greeks, Otto I, demonstrate liberal conviction and progressive political thinking. This thesis examines critically Nickler's writings about England, Ireland, Germany und Greece, traces the author’s attitudes towards historical circumstances and personages and argues for the importance of his work and for its location close to that of other "Young German" writers, such as Heine, Borne or Herwegh.
Signal Detection in Distributed MIMO Radar with Non-Orthogonal Waveforms and Sync Errors

description: Although routinely utilized in literature, orthogonal waveforms may lose orthogonality in distributed multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar with spatially separated transmit (TX) and receive (RX) antennas, as the waveforms may experience distinct delays and Doppler frequency offsets unique to different TX-RX propagation paths. In such cases, the output of each waveform-specific matched filter (MF), employed to unravel the waveforms at the RXs, contains both an \auto term and multiple cross terms, i.e., the filtered response of the desired and, respectively, undesired waveforms. We consider the impact of non-orthogonal waveforms and their cross terms on target detection with or without timing, frequency, and phase errors. To this end, we present a general signal model for distributed MIMO radar, examine target detection using existing coherent/non-coherent detectors and two new detectors, including a hybrid detector that requires phase coherence locally but not across distributed antennas, and provide a statistical analysis leading to closed-form expressions of false alarm and detection probabilities for all detectors. Our results show that cross terms can behave like foes or allies, respectively, if they and the auto term add destructively or constructively, depending on the propagation delay, frequency, and phase offsets. Regarding sync errors, we show that phase errors affect only coherent detectors, frequency errors degrade all but the non-coherent detector, while all are impacted by timing errors, which result in a loss in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

description: I show that reflection positivity implies that the force between any mirror pair of charge-conjugate probes of the quantum vacuum is attractive. This generalizes a recent theorem of Kenneth and Klich to interacting quantum fields, to arbitrary semiclassical bodies, and to quantized probes with non-overlapping wavefunctions. I also prove that the torques on charge-conjugate probes tend always to rotate them into a mirror-symmetric position.

description: The edit distance between two words w1, w2 is the minimal number of word operations (letter insertions, deletions, and substitutions) necessary to transform w1 to w2. The edit distance generalizes to languages L1, L2, where the edit distance is the minimal number k such that for every word from L1 there exists a word in L2 with edit distance at most k. We study the edit distance computation problem between pushdown automata and their subclasses. The problem of computing edit distance to a pushdown automaton is undecidable, and in practice, the interesting question is to compute the edit distance from a pushdown automaton (the implementation, a standard model for programs with recursion) to a regular language (the specification). In this work, we present a complete picture of decidability and complexity for deciding whether, for a given threshold k, the edit distance from a pushdown automaton to a finite automaton is at most k.

description: A systematic survey of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds for radio pulsars using the Parkes radio telescope and the 20-cm multibeam receiver has resulted in the discovery of 14 pulsars and the redetection of five of the eight previously known spin-powered pulsars believed to lie in the Magellanic Clouds. Of the 14 new discoveries, 12 are believed to lie within Clouds, three in the Small Cloud and nine in the Large Cloud, bringing the total number of known spin-powered pulsars in the Clouds to 20. Averaged over all positions within the survey area, the survey had a limiting flux density of about 0.12 mJy. Observed dispersion measures suggest that the mean free electron density in the Magellanic Clouds is similar to that in the disk of our Galaxy. The observed radio luminosities have little or no dependence on pulsar period or characteristic age and the differential luminosity function is consistent with a power-law slope of -1 as is observed for Galactic pulsars.

description: Optical implementation of artificial neural networks has been attracting great attention due to its potential in parallel computation at speed of light. Although all-optical deep neural networks (AODNNs) with a few neurons have been experimentally demonstrated with acceptable errors recently, the feasibility of large scale AODNNs remains unknown because error might accumulate inevitably with increasing number of neurons and connections. Here, we demonstrate a scalable AODNN with programmable linear operations and tunable nonlinear activation functions. We verify its scalability by measuring and analyzing errors propagating from a single neuron to the entire network. The feasibility of AODNNs is further confirmed by recognizing handwritten digits and fashions respectively.

User Community Involvement

description: This report constitutes SSHOC Deliverable 9.8, which describes the planned User Community Involvement in the Development of a Knowledge Graph for Electoral Studies. The report links up closely with the reports of Deliverable D9.6 (‘Demarcation Report of Electoral Studies User Community’) and Deliverable 9.7 (‘Design and Planning of Knowledge Graph in Electoral Studies’). These two earlier reports and the current one prepare the specification and planning of Deliverable 9.9, which is the production and delivery of a Knowledge Graph in electoral studies. The report of D9.6 defined the substantive research field and the scholarly community for which the Knowledge Graph is intended. D9.7 provided specification and planning of the development of the Knowledge Graph and emphasised the need for end-user involvement in its development. The current report (D9.8) details the various forms that user involvement can take, and how members of the user community are to be reached and recruited. The rationale underlying the need for user involvement is to avoid that the functionality of the Knowledge Graph to be produced does not match needs and expectations of end-users, which would result in suboptimal usage in and by the user community and obstruct further development of the Knowledge Graph after its initial delivery. The main elements for which user community involvement will be planned are:
 • Providing feedback on functionality at various stages of development
 • Contributing to ontology development
 • Crowd-contributing to classification of materials as a basis for training of algorithms
 • Beta testing Additionally, all forms of involvement of the user communities will help promote awareness of and familiarity with EOSC/SSHOC and its products, tools and services.

description: Lorentz-violating type-II nodal lines exhibit attracting physical properties and have been hot discussed currently. However, their investigations have been mostly limited in nonmagnetic system because of lacking ideal spin-polarized candidates with clean type-II nodal line states. Here, for the first time, we report the family of X2YZ4 (X=K, Cs, Rb, Y=Cr, Cu, Z=Cl, F) compounds are such ideal candidate materials by using the member of K2CuF4 as an example. We show the material is a ferromagnetic half-metal with weak anisotropy, which host fully spin-polarized conducting electrons. In the conducting spin channel, the band crossing form a pair of type-II nodal lines, protected by mirror symmetry. These type-II nodal lines are different with former proposed examples because they have a 100% spin polarization. In addition, we also show the material can realize switchable topological states, which can be easily controlled by external magnetic field. It is noticed that, the material: i) is stable and can be synthesized in experiments; ii) has clear magnetic structure; and iii) manifests clean type-II nodal line state and clear drumhead surface states. Therefore, the proposed X2YZ4 compounds are expected to be an excellent platform to investigate the novel physical properties of both type-II nodal line states with complete

Αφού συγκεντρώθηκαν τα γραπτά κείμενα 18 συμμετεχόντων, τα λάθη που παρήχθησαν, καταγράφηκαν με εξειδικευμένο κώδικα και μέθοδο ανάλυσης, και κατηγοριοποιήθηκαν (ανάλυση λαθών-error analysis). Από την ανάλυση προέκυψαν τα λάθη που πραγματοποιούν οι κωφοί και βαρήκοοι ενήλικες σε τέσσερις κατηγορίες και τριάντα υποκατηγορίες παραγωγής γραπτού λόγου. Με βάση την παραπάνω ανάλυση, αναδείχθηκαν τα κυρίαρχα λάθη των κωφών και βαρήκοων ενηλίκων σκιαγραφώντας το προφίλ του γραπτού λόγου των ατόμων με προβλήματα ακοής.
description: The aim of the present thesis was to detect errors made by people with hearing problems and especially the deaf and hard of hearing adults in their writing based on a particular topic. After the writings of the 18 participants were gathered, the generated errors were detected with a specialized code analysis method and classified (error analysis). The analysis revealed the mistakes made by the deaf and hard of hearing adults in four categories and thirty writing process subcategories. Finally, it became clear in which one of the four categories the deaf and hard of hearing adults make most mistakes contributing to a profile of writing for people with hearing problems.
Towards a phonetic and phonological typology of post-velar articulation
Creators: name: Bessell, Nicola J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This dissertation develops a typology of post-velar articulation from the point of view of available inventory, phonetic and phonological studies. The database on which such typologies can draw is expanded by the examination of data from the Interior Salish languages of the Pacific Northwest. The post-velar inventory of Interior Salish is examined acoustically in order to place it within the phonetic typology of post-velars as understood from work on Semitic and Caucasian. Pharyngeals from six Interior Salish languages are examined to determine the range of variation. The basic finding of this acoustic work is that the Interior Salish post-velars are commensurate with what is known about post-velars based on Semitic data and articulatory modelling. Interior Salish phonological data support the extension of articulator-based feature geometry to a fourth node, here termed Tongue Root. It is shown that the fourth node is required to class Interior Salish faucals and accommodate their participation in harmony processes. Furthermore, constraints on the phonology of the fourth node in Interior Salish suggest that we are dealing with an Advanced Tongue Root phenomenon such as found in some African vowel harmonies. This is an encouraging result in the sense that it confirms the existence of Tongue Root consonants and does not confine the fourth node to vowels. The analysis of Interior Salish laryngeals without the fourth node that characterizes their Semitic counterparts corroborates our understanding of laryngeals as lacking Place specifications in the default case. Furthermore, it is argued that the descriptivist and Dependency Phonology view of /2, h/ as minimal stop and fricative is phonologically appropriate. Evidence from epenthesis, laryngeal transparency and debuccalization support the analysis of ii, h/ as (+consonantal, -sonorant, +/-continuant]. Debuccalization and epenthesis processes also suggest that h/ do not necessarily bear Laryngeal Node features. It is argued that unless phonemic phonation features are present in an inventory, there is no need for /2, h/ to bear [constricted glottis, spread glottis]. It is noted that the phonology of post-velars in Interior Salish contrasts with their patterning in Semitic (McCarthy 1991) and Nisgha (Shaw 1991b), specifically with respect to the representation of /2, h/. The presence of a fourth node in Interior Salish does not require that laryngeals be dependents of it. The same finding is reported by McCarthy (1991) for Semitic. Given that there is no acoustic evidence at present to suggest that we are dealing with distinct phonetic entities, it appears that there presentation of laryngeals in languages with a fourth node must be stipulated.

description: Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) is a valuable forest species in the western Mediterranean Basin due to its ecological value and the production of cork (a renewable natural material). Cork quality depends on the genetic background and cork oak environment, which has long been recognized. As no cork oak genetic trials with pedigree information were available, the inference of the genetic relatedness between individuals from molecular markers can potentially be applied to natural populations. This work aimed to investigate the potential of performing kinship prediction and pedigree reconstruction by SNP genotyping a natural cork oak population. A total of 494 trees located in Portugal were genotyped with 8K SNPs. The raw SNP set was filtered differently, producing four SNP sets that were further filtered by missing data, genotype frequency, and minor allele frequency. For each set, an identity by descent (IBD) matrix was generated to perform the relationship prediction, revealing from 22,114 to 23,859 relationships. Familial categories from the first to the third degree were able to be assigned. The feasibility of SNP genotyping for future studies on the kinship analysis and pedigree reconstruction of cork oak populations was demonstrated. The information produced may be used in further breeding and conservation programs for cork oak.

description: On the basis of our recent modifications of the Dirac formalism we generalize the Bargmann-Wigner formalism for higher spins to be compatible with other formalisms for bosons. Relations with dual electrodynamics, with the Ogievetskii-Polubarinov notoph and the Weinberg 2(2J+1) theory are found. Next, we introduce the dual analogues of the Riemann tensor and derive corresponding dynamical equations in the Minkowski space. Relations with the Marques-Spehler chiral gravity theory are discussed.

description: The aim of the present thesis was to propose a more effective way to manage queues in financial institutions. We compared two systems of service in financial institutions. The one is the traditional way, which is waiting in a queue and the other is a modern way via an application. Firstly, the reader is introduced to the queuing theory and emphasis in given on financial institutions. Then we examine the effect that queues have on the quality service and on the satisfaction rate of the customers. Furthermore, the application DoNotWait.gr is presented which is appropriate to manage queues in financial institutions. What’s more, we conduct a survey and a statistical analysis comparing the two ways of service. After that we propose some extensions of the application and some future work and research.

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη αποτελεί μια προσπάθεια διερεύνησης του τρόπου με τον οποίο το συναίσθημα του φόβου υπεισέρχεται στη νεότερη πολιτική κουλτούρα και εξακολουθεί να αποτελεί ένα αναπόσπαστο εργαλείο της κυβερνητικής εξουσίας μέχρι και τις πρώτες δεκαετίες του 21ου αιώνα. Εν προκειμένω, εξετάζονται οι θεωρητικές αντιλήψεις που αναδεικνύουν τον «πολιτικό» φόβο ως εργαλείο προσαρμογής της κοινωνίας στις δυνάμεις του κράτους και της οικονομίας στο όνομα της προσωπικής ή της εθνικής ασφάλειας. Επίσης, αναλύεται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο το κυρίαρχο σύστημα εξουσίας ενορχηστρώνει τη στρατηγική του φόβου προκειμένου να ελέγξει τις απρόβλεπτες εκδηλώσεις της ανθρώπινης συμπεριφοράς και να αποσπάσει τη συναίνεση των κοινωνικών δυνάμεων. Έτσι, θα δειχθεί ότι η κρατική εξουσία χρησιμοποιεί τον «πολιτικό φόβο» ως καταλύτη προκειμένου να εξασφαλιστεί η υπακοή της κοινωνίας και να αποδυναμωθεί κάθε πρόθεση για αμφισβήτηση ή ρήξη με τους εκμεταλλευτικούς και καταπιεστικούς μηχανισμούς του παγκόσμιου καπιταλιστικού συστήματος. Ειδικότερα, εξετάζεται η στρατηγική του φόβου όπως εφαρμόστηκε από τα κόμματα της συγκυβέρνησης ΝΔ- ΠΑΣΟΚ (2012-2014) κατά τη διάρκεια των Ευρωεκλογών της 25ης Μαϊου του 2014.
description: The goal of this essay is to research further and bring into the spotlight how the feeling of fear invades into the modern political culture and is regarded as an indisposable tool of governmental authority up to the primary decades of the 21stcentury. We will examine the theoretical perspectives that designate “political fear” as a tool for forced adjustment of the society to the power of the State and the economy, in the name of personal or national security. Also, we will be analyzing the way with which the predominant Authority System orchestrates the strategic use of fear in order to control and redulate the unpredictable expressions of human behavior and extort. Thus, in the center of our attention we find the ways governmental authority utilizes “political fear” as a catalyst so as to achieve the total submission of society and the deconstruction of all will and effort for questioning and/or challenging the established mechanisms of exploitation and oppression, set by the global capitalistic system. In particular, we examine the “strategy of fear” as implemented and executed by the ceovemmemtal coalition parties of “ΝΔ” and “ΠΑΣΟΚ”, as an integral part of their joint pre elections campaign during the Euro elections of the 25st of May in 2014.

description: We discuss ILC measurements for a specific MSSM scenario with CP phases, where the lightest neutralino is a good candidate for dark matter, annihilating efficiently through t-channel exchange of light staus. These prospective (CP-even) ILC measurements are then used to fit the underlying model parameters. A collider prediction of the relic density of the neutralino from this fit gives 0.116

description: Στην εργασία αυτή επιχειρείται η μελέτη της θέσης των ευνούχων στην βυζαντινή αυτοκρατορία και ιδίως η δράση τους στην βυζαντινή αυλή κατά την πρώιμη και μέση περίοδο. Οι ευνούχοι αποτέλεσαν αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της βυζαντινής αυτοκρατορίας, ήδη από τα πρώτα χρόνια ζωής της μέχρι και το τέλος της. Η παρουσία τους εντοπίζεται σε τομείς όπως η εκκλησία, ο στρατός, και κυρίως η βυζαντινή αυλή. Η δράση τους εκεί τους ανέδειξε ως μία από τις ισχυρότερες πολιτικές ελίτ της πρώιμης και μέσης περιόδου. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, επιχειρήθηκε η αναζήτηση των αιτίων που οδήγησαν τους ευνούχους στην θέση ισχύος που βρέθηκαν, οι επιπτώσεις που είχε η δύναμη που απέκτησαν στην βυζαντινή πολιτική σκηνή, καθώς και ο αντίκτυπος του γεγονότος αυτού στην βυζαντινή κοινωνία.
description: This thesis attempts to study the position of eunuchs in the Byzantine Empire and especially their action at the Byzantine court in the early and middle period. The eunuchs were an integral part of the Byzantine Empire, from the earliest years of life until the end. Their presence is found in areas such as the church, the military, and especially the Byzantine court. Their action there elevated them as one of the strongest political elite of the early and middle period. In this context, the search for the causes that led to eunuchs in a position of strength, the impact of the power acquired in Byzantine politics, as well as the impact of this fact in the Byzantine society, was attempted.

description: Context: Individuals' personality traits have been shown to influence their behavior during team work. In particular, positive group attitudes are said to be essential for distributed and global software development efforts where collaboration is critical to project success. Objective: Given this, we have sought to study the influence of global software practitioners' personality profiles from a psycholinguistic perspective. Method: Artifacts from ten teams were selected from the IBM Rational Jazz repository and mined. We employed social network analysis (SNA) techniques to identify and group practitioners into two clusters based on the numbers of messages they communicated, Top Members and Others, and used standard statistical techniques to assess practitioners' engagement in task changes associated with work items. We then performed psycholinguistic analysis on practitioners' messages using linguistic dimensions of the LIWC tool that had been previously correlated with the Big Five personality profiles. Results: For our sample of 146 practitioners, we found that the Top Members demonstrated more openness to experience than the Other practitioners. Additionally, practitioners involved in usability-related tasks were found to be highly extroverted, and coders were most neurotic and conscientious. Conclusion: High levels of organizational and inter-personal skills may be useful for those operating in distributed settings, and personality diversity is likely to boost team performance.

description: We study the Josephson effect between chiral p-wave superconductor / diffusive normal metal (DN) / chiral p-wave superconductor (CP/DN/CP) junctions using quasiclassical Green's function formalism with proper boundary conditions. The px+ipy-wave symmetry of superconducting order parameter is chosen which is believed to be a pairing state in Sr2RuO4. It is shown that the Cooper pairs induced in DN have an odd-frequency spin-triplet s-wave symmetry, where pair amplitude is an odd function of Matsubara frequency. Despite the peculiar symmetry properties of the Cooper pairs, the behavior of the Josephson current is rather conventional. We have found that the current phase relation is almost sinusoidal and the Josephson current is proportional to exp(-L/xi), where xi is the coherence length of the Cooper pair in DN and L is the length of DN. The Josephson current between CP / diffusive ferromagnet metal (DF) / CP junctions is also calculated. It is shown that the 0-pi transition can be realized by varying temperature or junction length L similar to the case of conventional s-wave junctions. These results may serve as a guide to study superconducting state of Sr2RuO4.

description: As part of this thesis there was an attempt to concisely determine the concept and the legal nature of the franchising contract, to distinguish the forms it can take and to explore the legal framework, which will be placed. Subsequently, we analyzed the matter of the contract’s termination as well as the consequences that this involves for the parties, before we proceeded to the more extensive analysis of the specific issues arising from the termination of the franchising contract, namely the franchisee’s right to compensation of goodwill and the implementation of the clause prohibiting competition after the termination of the franchising contract.

description: For an ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring over a field, a monomial support of $I$ is the set of monomials that appear as terms in a set of minimal generators of $I$. Craig Huneke asked whether the size of a monomial support is a bound for the projective dimension of the ideal. We construct an example to show that, if the number of variables and the degrees of the generators are unspecified, the projective dimension of $I$ grows at least exponentially with the size of a monomial support. The ideal we construct is generated by monomials and binomials.

description: Αντικείμενο της παρούσης διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η νομική ανάλυση του εγκλήματος της εκούσιας ανθρωποκτονίας (φόνος εκ προνοίας) στο Αττικό Δίκαιο. Αρχικά επιχειρήθηκε μία έρευνα της ποινικής αντιμετώπισης των εγκλημάτων που στρέφονται κατά της ζωής από την ομηρική εποχή και στη συνέχεια εξετάστηκε η νομοθετική πρωτοβουλία του Δράκοντα ο οποίος μέσω των «φονικών νόμων» αναμόρφωσε πλήρως το ποινικό νομικό σύστημα της Αθήνας. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο, αναλύθηκε η αντικειμενική και υποκειμενική υπόσταση του εγκλήματος και ορισμένες ιδιαίτερες περιπτώσεις εκούσιας ανθρωποκτονίας. Έπειτα, στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται οι λόγοι άρσης του αδίκου, του καταλογισμού και της εξάλειψης του αξιοποίνου. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο παρατίθεται η διαδικασία στις δίκες εκούσιας ανθρωποκτονίας (αρμόδια δικαστήρια, προδικασία, κύρια διαδικασία). Στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο εξετάζονται οι επιβαλλόμενες για το έγκλημα αυτό ποινές. Τέλος, καταλήγουμε στα συμπεράσματα της παρούσης εργασίας και εκθέτουμε τα επιστημονικά ευρήματα για την μετάβαση του Αττικού Ποινικού Δικαίου από ένα πνεύμα συλλογικής αντεκδίκησης του δράστη σε μια πιο οργανωμένη μορφή καταστολής του ποινικού φαινομένου.
description: The aim of the present thesis is the legal analysis of the crime of intentional homicide (phonos ek pronoias) in Attic Law. Initially, we intend a survey of the legal confrontation of the crimes against the human life from the era of Homer and then we examined the legislative proposal of Dracon who through “lethal laws” reformed totally the criminal legal system of Athens. In the first chapter we analyze the constituent and the mental element of the crime and some particular cases of intentional homicide. In what follows we present the reasons that raise the unfairness, the imputability and the elimination of the criminality. In the third chapter we introduce the procedure of the intentional homicide trial (competent courts, prejudgment, main procedure). In the fourth chapter we scrutinize the enforced punishments for this crime. Finally, we end up into the conclusion of the present thesis and we display the scientific findings for the transition of the Attic Criminal Law from a collective retaliation mentality of the perpetrator to a more organized form of punishment of the criminal phenomenon.

description: We employ reduced density-matrix functional theory in the calculation of the fundamental gap of open-shell systems. The formula for the calculation of the fundamental gap is derived with special attention to the spin of the neutral and the charged systems. We discuss the effects of different functionals as well as the changes due to different basis sets. Also, we investigate the importance of varying the natural orbitals for the calculation of the fundamental gap

description: The motivation of this work is to produce an integrated formulation for material response due to detonation wave loading. Here, we focus on elastoplastic structural response. In particular, we are interested to capture miscible and immiscible behaviour within condensed-phase explosives arising from the co-existence of a reactive carrier mixture of miscible materials, and several material interfaces due to the presence of immiscible impurities such as particles or cavities. The dynamic and thermodynamic evolution of the explosive is communicated to one or more inert confiners through their shared interfaces, which may undergo severe topological change. We also wish to consider elastic and plastic structural response of the confiners, rather than make a hydrodynamic assumption for their behaviour. Previous work by these authors has met these requirements by means of the simultaneous solution of appropriate systems of equations for the behaviour of the condensed-phase explosive and the elastoplastic behaviour of the confiners. In the present work, we employ a single system of partial differential equations (PDEs) proposed by Peshkov and Romenski, which is able to account for different states of matter by means of generalising the concept of distortion tensors beyond solids. We amalgamate that formulation with a single system of PDEs which meets the requirement of co-existing miscible and immiscible explosive mixtures. We present the mathematical derivation and construct appropriate algorithms for its solution. The resulting model is validated against exact solutions for several use-cases, including mechanically- and thermally-induced, inviscid and viscous detonations. Results indicate that the model can accurately simulate a very broad range of problems involving the nonlinear interaction between reactive and inert materials within a single framework.

description: Zinc Ferrite Nanoparticles (ZnFe2O4) with different particle sizes have been synthesized by
 co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction results show that the samples are mixture of
 normal and inverse spinel structures were confirmed with analysis Fourier Transform
 Infra-red (FTIR). The lattice constants were observed to increase with increasing stirring
 duration. The particle size estimated using the Scherrer formula. The nanoparticles size
 were confirmed using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The particle size decrease
 with increasing of stirring duration from 60 to 120 minutes is obtained between 8.38 nm to
 7.12 nm. Characterization of magnetic properties by using Vibrating Sample Magnetometer
 (VSM) showed that the samples has a coercivity increases with decreasing particle size.
 The variation of magnetization maximum on 15 kOe, which can be explained by the
 appearance of α-Fe2O3 and the cation redistribution on tetrahedral A and octahedral B sites.
