description: Η φεμινιστική οικονομική ως κλάδος αναπτύχθηκε σταδιακά από την δεκαετία του 1960 μέχρι και σήμερα. Ένα από τα κύρια πεδία κριτικής της ήταν και παραμένει η κριτική στις υποθέσεις του νεοκλασικού υποδείγματος και πιο συγκεκριμένα σε αυτές που σχετίζονται με τον Homo Economicus. Η ορθολογικότητα των ατόμων γίνεται αντικείμενο κριτικής τόσο διότι αναπαράγει την έμφυλη ανισότητα όσο και γιατί δεν ανταποκρίνεται στις πραγματικές συμπεριφορές των ατόμων. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία έχει ως στόχο την παρουσίαση της συμβολής των φεμινιστικών οικονομικών μέσα από το πρίσμα της κριτικής στον Homo Economicus
description: Feminist economics as a field has developed gradually from the sixties until today. One of the major fields of criticism was and still is the critique to the assumptions of the neoclassical model and specifically to those connected with Homo Economicus. Rationality of the individual is being criticized because it reproduces gender inequality and also because it does not respond to the actual behaviors of the individuals. The present thesis has the target of presenting the contribution of feminist economics in the light of the criticism of the Homo Economicus model

Estimation of the effects of measurement characteristics on the quality of survey questions
Creators: name: Saris, Willem E.
name: Gallhofer, Irmtraud
Publisher: name: European Survey Research Association
Year: 2007
Subjects: Reliability and validity of questions; meta analysis; MTMM

description: When designing questionnaires, many choices have to be made. Because the consequences of these choices for the quality of the questions are largely unknown, it has often been said that designing a questionnaire is an art. To make it a more scientific activity we need to know more about the consequences of these choices. In order to further such an approach we have:
1. made an inventory of the choices to be made when designing survey questions and created a code book to transform these question characteristics into the independent variables for explaining quality of survey questions;
2. assembled a large set of studies that use Multi-trait Multi-method experiments to estimate the reliability and validity of questions
3. carried out a meta-analysis that relates these question characteristics to the reliability and validity estimates of the questions.
On the basis of the results of these efforts we have constructed a database. This data base contains at present 1023 measurement instruments based on 87 experiments conducted on random samples from sometimes regional but mostly national samples of 300 to 2000 respondents. The database contains information on studies of reliability and validity of survey questions formulated in three different languages: English, German and Dutch. The purpose of this study was to generate cross national generalizations of the findings published so far drawn from national studies. This analysis provides a quantitative estimate of the effects of the different choices on the reliability, validity and the method effects.

description: By re-examining recently-published data from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we demonstrate that, in the superconducting region of the phase diagram, the pseudogap ground state is an arc metal. This scenario is consistent with results from Raman spectroscopy, specific heat and NMR. In addition, we propose an explanation for the "Fermi pockets" inferred from quantum oscillations in terms of a pseudogapped bilayer Fermi surface.

description: This letter provides a comparison of indoor radio propagation measurements and corresponding channel statistics at 28, 73, and 140 GHz, based on extensive measurements from 2014-2020 in an indoor office environment. Side-by-side comparisons of propagation characteristics (e.g., large-scale path loss and multipath time dispersion) across a wide range of frequencies from the low millimeter wave band of 28 GHz to the sub-THz band of 140 GHz illustrate the key similarities and differences in indoor wireless channels. The measurements and models show remarkably similar path loss exponents over frequencies in both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-LOS (NLOS) scenarios, when using a one meter free space reference distance, while the multipath time dispersion becomes smaller at higher frequencies. The 3GPP indoor channel model overestimates the large-scale path loss and has unrealistic large numbers of clusters and multipath components per cluster compared to the measured channel statistics in this letter.

Survey Non-Response Procedures in Cross-National Perspective: The 2005 ISSP Non-Response Survey
Creators: name: Smith, Tom W.
Publisher: name: European Survey Research Association
Year: 2007
Subjects: Interviewers; incentives; paradata; survey climate

description: A survey of data-collection and non-response procedures used on surveys conducted as part of the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) reveals considerable variation across countries. Of several standard techniques to increase response rates only call-backs were in general use. Leaving letters, books, etc. and interviewers bonuses were utilized in only a bare majority of surveys and an introductory telephone call, the use of converters, and respondent incentives were not used in most surveys. In part, differences in procedures occurred because countries disagreed about their effectiveness. In other cases, techniques were not used simply because countries were not used to these methods.

Surveys from inside: An assessment of unit nonresponse bias with internal criteria
Creators: name: Kohler, Ulrich
Publisher: name: European Survey Research Association
Year: 2007
Subjects: Unit nonresponse bias; survey quality; sampling; reachability; response rate

description: The article uses the so called “internal criteria of representativeness” to assess the unit nonresponse
bias in five European comparative survey projects. It then goes on investigating several
ideas why unit nonresponse bias might vary between surveys and countries. It is proposed that
unit nonresponse bias is either caused by country characteristics or survey methodology. The
empirical evidence presented speaks more in favour of the latter than of the former. Among
the survey characteristics the features that strengthen the leverage to control interviewers’ behaviour
have top priority

description: We present the results of a spectroscopic survey of the Ca II H & K core strengths in a sample of 60 solar-type stars that are members of the solar-age and solar-metallicity open cluster M67. We adopt the HK index, defined as the summed H+K core strengths in 0.1 nm bandpasses centered on the H and K lines, respectively, as a measure of the chromospheric activity that is present. We compare the distribution of mean HK index values for the M67 solar-type stars with the variation of this index as measured for the Sun during the contemporary solar cycle. We find that the stellar distribution in our HK index is broader than that for the solar cycle. Approximately 17% of the M67 sun-like stars exhibit average HK indices that are less than solar minimum. About 7%-12% are characterized by relatively high activity in excess of solar maximum values while 72%-80% of the solar analogs exhibit Ca II H+K strengths within the range of the modern solar cycle. The ranges given reflect uncertainties in the most representative value of the maximum in the HK index to adopt for the solar cycle variations observed during the period A.D. 1976--2004. Thus, ~ 20% - 30% of our homogeneous sample of sun-like stars have mean chromospheric H+K strengths that are outside the range of the contemporary solar cycle. Any cycle-like variability that is present in the M67 solar-type stars appears to be characterized by periods greater than ~ 6 years. Finally, we estimate a mean chromospheric age for M67 in the range of 3.8--4.3 Gyr.

description: Substance abuse and associated public health and economic consequences represent a pervasive and costly problem. Among inner-city substance users, crack/cocaine is the most common drug of choice and is associated with health compromising behaviors. Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) are more prevalent, severe, and difficult to treat among individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). Psychopathy is a construct which is related to but distinct from ASPD, and the relation between primary psychopathic traits and substance use is not well understood. The present laboratory experimental study of cocaine use-related outcomes in the context of mood inductions among cocaine users found that primary psychopathic traits were negatively associated with attentional bias for cocaine-related cues but not associated with self-reported craving. Assignment to the negative affect manipulation was related to greater attentional bias but not to craving. The interaction between mood condition and primary psychopathic traits was not a significant predictor of either outcome.
Planar defects and the fate of the Bragg glass phase of type-II superconductors

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)

description: It is shown that the Bragg glass phase can become unstable with respect to planar defects. A single defect plane that is oriented parallel to the magnetic field as well as to one of the main axis of the Abrikosov flux line lattice is always relevant, whereas we argue that a plane with higher Miller index is irrelevant, even at large defect potentials. A finite density of parallel defects with random separations can be relevant even for larger Miller indices. Defects that are aligned with the applied field restore locally the flux density oscillations which decay algebraically with distance from the defect. The current voltage relation is changed to ln V(J) -J^{-1}. The theory exhibits some similarities to the physics of Luttinger liquids with impurities.

Monster Talk
Creators: name: Brooks, Jesse
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Fine arts

description: The child perspectives in "Monster Talk," "High Stakes on the Mississippi Racino," and "Where the Weird Comes From" are narrated through either the close third or first person point of view. These children encounter terribly real events that are beyond their full comprehension and thus narrated through a fantastical lens in an attempt to explain their experiences with adult mental illness, fundamentalism, and addiction. "A Sad Day at the Glitter Factory," "Worldsick in the Animal Garden," and "The Company We Keep" focus on how characters are affected by, and interact with, their settings. These pieces explore the narratives that result from direct encounters with their surrounding environment. Situations such as economic depression, homelessness, and large disasters caused by human error occur within these settings. The telling is the characters' innate response to their existence that is inevitably influenced by these worlds and it is how they compose personal identity and significance.

description: It is argued that continuum realisations of distributions of collisionless charged particles should accommodate a dynamically evolving number of electric currents even if the continuum is composed of only one species of particle, such as electrons. A model is proposed that self-consistently describes the interaction of such a continuum and its electromagnetic field. It is formulated using a Lagrangian approach and employs a "folded" flow map to describe the bulk particle motion. An asymptotic perturbation scheme is developed to analyse ultra-relativistic multi-component current configurations. The model is fully relativistic and is formulated over Minkowski spacetime using intrinsic tensor field theory.

description: In recent years, mental health professionals have reported an upsurge in the number of referrals relating to transgender identities among children. While controversies exist among clinicians over treatment for these children, a growing number of practitioners are encouraging parents to accept their children's gender expressions. This practice, however, may be challenging for parents to embrace for a number of reasons, resulting in a vulnerable mental state. Using a combined theoretical framework of decentering heteronormativity within Meyer's minority stress theory (2003), the present study seeks to determine the association between various factors--gender non conformity, gender role beliefs, and child misbehavior--and the anxiety and depression in mothers of transgender and gender non-conforming children. Data were taken from Wave 1 of a longitudinal study of transgender and gender non-conforming children and their parents. Results indicated that only child misbehavior was significantly associated with maternal anxiety, and social support did not moderate this relationship. Complete findings and their implications are discussed, for both future research and further deconstruction of gender in the social sciences.
Verb Production in Aphasia: Testing the Division of Labor Between Syntax and Semantics

description: Verb production is commonly impaired in aphasia, but it has been shown that not all verbs are impaired equally. Some individuals with aphasia have been shown to prefer semantically general "light" verbs, while others prefer semantically specific "heavy" verbs. The "division of labor" theory, that access to syntactic and semantic processes in language production influences the weight of verbs selected, was explored in this study by examining the verbs used in the narrative language of 166 neurologically healthy individuals and 164 individuals with aphasia. The proportions of light verbs used were compared to narrative language measures of syntactic and semantic ability as well as test scores. It was found that certain semantic and syntactic measures showed a significant relationship to the proportion of light verbs used for individuals with aphasia, supporting the "division of labor" model. For healthy individuals, one measure of syntactic complexity significantly predicted light verb use.
Performance of the ATLAS RPC detector and Level-1 muon barrel trigger at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) employs a trigger system consisting of a first-level hardware trigger (L1) and a software-based high-level trigger. The L1 muon trigger system selects muon candidates, assigns them to the correct LHC bunch crossing and classifies them into one of six transverse-momentum threshold classes. The L1 muon trigger system uses resistive-plate chambers (RPCs) to generate the muon-induced trigger signals in the central (barrel) region of the ATLAS detector. The ATLAS RPCs are arranged in six concentric layers and operate in a toroidal magnetic field with a bending power of 1.5 to 5.5 Tm. The RPC detector consists of about 3700 gas volumes with a total surface area of more than 4000 m$^2$. This paper reports on the performance of the RPC detector and L1 muon barrel trigger using 60.8 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment in 2018 at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Detector and trigger performance are studied using $Z$ boson decays into a muon pair. Measurements of the RPC detector response, efficiency, and time resolution are reported. Measurements of the L1 muon barrel trigger efficiencies and rates are presented, along with measurements of the properties of the selected sample of muon candidates. Measurements of the RPC currents, counting rates and mean avalanche charge are performed using zero-bias collisions. Finally, RPC detector response and efficiency are studied at different high voltage and front-end discriminator threshold settings in order to extrapolate detector response to the higher luminosity expected for the High Luminosity LHC.

Αρχικά, μελετήθηκαν οι σχέσεις Ελλάδας και Μαυροβούνιου την περίοδο 1910-1913, μέσα από το πρίσμα της βαλκανικής πολιτικής που ακολουθούσε ο Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος. Ειδικότερα, εξετάστηκε η καθαυτή πολιτική που είχε χαράξει η Ελλάδα, όσο και οι διπλωματικές σχέσεις των δύο χωρών, οι οποίες σχετίζονταν άμεσα με το Αλβανικό ζήτημα. Επιπρόσθετα, πραγματοποιήθηκε διεξοδική μελέτη και έρευνα στον ελληνικό Τύπο, επιδιώκοντας με τον τρόπο αυτό την εξέταση των προσλήψεων του Μαυροβούνιου στις εφημερίδες την περίοδο 1910-1913. Διεξήχθη, έτσι, προσπάθεια προκειμένου να γίνει κατανοητή η στάση του δημοσιογραφικού κόσμου, σε συνάρτηση με τις διπλωματικές σχέσεις Ελλάδας και Μαυροβούνιου, καθώς επίσης και τα γεγονότα που διαδραματίζονταν παράλληλα στη Χερσόνησου του Αίμου
description: The aim of the thesis was to present on the one hand the role of Montenegro in Greece`s balkan policy and on the other hand the attitude of the greek press. At first, we examined the relations between Greece and Montenegro in the period 1910-1913, from the perspective of the balkan policy of Eleftherios Venizelos. Specifically, we examined not only the greek policy, but also the diplomatic relations of the two countries, which were related to the Albanian issue. Furthermore, we thoroughly analyzed the greek press in order to see the perceptions of Montenegro in the newspapers in the period 1910-1913. Thus, we made an effort to efficiently examine the publications of the press, according to the diplomatic relations of Greece and Montenegro and to the events that were taking place in the Balkan Peninsula

description: This study investigated and compared the effects of elevated temperature and elevated CO2 on the microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and nitrogen (MBN) of urban and rural forest soils.  Soils analyzed from Baltimore Long-Term Ecological Research forests in June and October, 2014 had greater MBC and MBN quantities in rural than urban forests.  A controlled environmental chamber study was conducted where June-collected soils were planted with hybrid poplars and exposed to ambient and elevated temperature and CO2 levels. After exposure for 49 days, MBC and MBN quantities were again greater in rural than urban soils.  Soil MBC was greater under elevated than ambient CO2, while soil MBN was greater under elevated than ambient CO2 and temperature. Results suggest that if temperature and CO2 levels increase in the Baltimore area as predicted, microbial C and N pools in the studied forests will increase, and will remain greater in rural than urban soils.
Designing air transport networks that serve sparse demands
Creators: name: Khayat, Abdulaziz A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The aim of this thesis is to formulate a balanced routing strategy for constructing efficient airline networks in situations where travel demand is sparse. The strategy must strike a balance between the various objectives of both the airline operator and the passengers. Integer programming was used to develop three routing algorithms. The algorithms were then used to create three efficient air networks. The networks were designed to attain specific objectives. The first network minimized the total cost of airline operations. This was accomplished by consolidating the traffic demands at a few efficient hub locations to reduce the unit cost of operations, and by reducing the minimum number of required flights that meet all traffic demands. The second network minimized the cost of travel of the passengers by reducing their travel and schedule delay times. The third network was designed to minimize the total combined cost of both the airline and the passengers. This was done by minimizing the airline unit costs of operations, schedule delays, and travel times. As a case study, the domestic air transportation network of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were examined. The routes and links between the different airports in the network were restructured. The study showed that the algorithms were successful in achieving their design goals. The study also showed that the attributes of air transport networks influence both the passengers’ travel cost and the airline operating cost. The total cost and network structure are not independent. Hence, air transport networks must be developed in such a fashion that total costs are minimized and travel service within the network maximized.

Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Literature

description: The stories in Underground Radio tell of life in all its forms, be it organic, mechanical, or incorporeal.  By making use of the short short story, this collection encompasses the various ways life rises and falls and rises again.  "Ascension," the story of a woman who spends her afterlife as an elevator, captures this rising and falling literally; "The Time My Back was on Television" and the science fiction "Batch 49" explore other life arcs, like the rise to fame and the approach of life's end.  For characters in this collection, life does not end at death: stories like "Valedictorian of the Afterlife" and "Slow Fade" explore the potential conflicts that arise in a life after death.  Underground Radio broadcasts stories populated by characters experiencing and enduring all stages of real, surreal, or alternate life.

description: This research study aimed to investigate the reading comprehension errors of children with specific learning disabilities, using data from the individual files of children who received their diagnosis during the sixth grade of elementary school. In particular, the research was based on data from 142 children with specific learning disabilities in reading and from 41 children with specific learning disabilities in writing. Regarding data collection, we used the individual files of their evaluation by a Diagnostic and Support Center (KEDDY) in Thessaloniki. The files included the WISC-III psychometric evaluation test and the TEST-A reading test. The results are discussed in the framework of: a) the range of the reading difficulties that children with specific learning disabilities face, b) the qualitative analysis of reading comprehension errors in a narrative and two expository texts when asked to answer questions that correspond to different levels of comprehension and c) the relationship between the performance in reading comprehension, decoding, fluency and morphosyntax for children with specific learning disabilities in reading and specific learning disabilities in writing

description: SWAN and a parametric wave model implemented by the Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) were used to simulate wave climate from 1985 to 2005 in Chesapeake Bay (CB). Calibrated sea level simulations from the CBP hydrodynamic model were acquired. Spatial patterns of sea levels during high wave events were dominated by local north-south winds in the upper Bay and by remote coastal forcing in the lower Bay.  A dataset comprising shoreline erosion rates and related characteristics was combined with the wave and sea-level climates to explore the most influential factors affecting erosion. The results show that wave power is the most significant factor for erosion in the Maryland CB. Marsh shorelines present a nearly linear relationship between wave power and erosion rates, whereas bank shorelines are less clear.  The results of this study are applicable at large scales.  A more comprehensive data set is needed for building detailed local predictive relationships.
Non equilibrium steady states: fluctuations and large deviations of the density and of the current
Creators: name: Derrida, B.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: These lecture notes give a short review of methods such as the matrix ansatz, the additivity principle or the macroscopic fluctuation theory, developed recently in the theory of non-equilibrium phenomena. They show how these methods allow to calculate the fluctuations and large deviations of the density and of the current in non-equilibrium steady states of systems like exclusion processes. The properties of these fluctuations and large deviation functions in non-equilibrium steady states (for example non-Gaussian fluctuations of density or non-convexity of the large deviation function which generalizes the notion of free energy) are compared with those of systems at equilibrium.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία επιχειρείται η διερεύνηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο επηρεάζει η συμμετοχή στις δράσεις ενός κέντρου δημιουργικής απασχόλησης την ανάπτυξη γνώσεων, στάσεων και δεξιοτήτων σχετικών με την εκπαίδευση του πολίτη. Το κέντρο αυτό βρίσκεται σε μουσουλμανικό μαχαλά του Διδυμοτείχου, στον οποίο κατοικεί ως επί το πλείστον πληθυσμός ρομά. Τα ερευνητικά δεδομένα συλλέχθηκαν μέσα από καταγραφές ημερολογίου της εκπαιδευτικού αλλά και παρατήρησης στο πεδίο σε διάρκεια δυόμιση ετών. Επιπλέον πραγματοποιήθηκαν συνεντεύξεις με γονείς ή κηδεμόνες, των οποίων τα παιδιά παρακολουθούν τακτικά τις δράσεις του κέντρου. Το σύνολο των δεδομένων αναλύθηκε ποιοτικά κι από τη διαδικασία αυτή προέκυψαν τρεις μεγάλες θεματικές κατηγορίες: η κοινωνική συνοχή, η προσωπική ενδυνάμωση και η κοινωνική συμμετοχή. Γενικό συμπέρασμα της ανάλυσης αποτελεί το ότι δημιουργικές δράσεις με παιδιά της μειονότητας εντός του χώρου τους είναι δυνατόν να συντελέσουν στην ανάπτυξη της ιδιότητας του πολίτη κι αυτό να συμβάλει στη γενικότερη εκπαιδευτική και κοινωνική τους ένταξη
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the contribution of creative activities to citizenship education. The study took place in Didymoteicho, at a non-formal education center, located in a region which is mostly inhabited by muslim roma people. The data was collected through research diary, participatory observation and interviews with parents or guardians of those children who systematically participated in the group. Through qualitative analysis emerged three big categories: social cohesion, personal empowerment and social participation. An overall conclusion is the statement that participating in creative activities can develop and strengthen citizenship among muslim roma children, which contributes to their social and educational integration in modern greek society

description: This collection explores the different ways silence acts as a form of communication, recognizing both the power and failure of the unspoken. At once critical and empathetic, the speaker of these poems finds connection between the self and a self-destructive father whose influence carries into future relationships. The poems navigate moments of anger, forgiveness and guilt, ultimately allowing each to happen simultaneously.

description: Η εργασία αφορά στο βυζαντινό γυαλί από την Κωνσταντινούπολη κατά την Πρώιμη και Μέση Βυζαντινή περίοδο (324-1204 μ. Χ.). Η έρευνα βασίστηκε κυρίως σε δύο άξονες: τα δημοσιευμένα ευρήματα που ήρθαν στο φως από τις ανασκαφές στην Κωνσταντινούπολη, καθώς και από άλλα μέρη του βυζαντινού κόσμου που συνδέονται άμεσα ή έμμεσα, με την πρωτεύουσα της αυτοκρατορίας. Το δεύτερο πεδίο πληροφοριών είναι η κατηγορία των αντικειμένων γνωστών ως "Exuviae Sacrae Constantinopolitanae", τα οποία μεταφέρθηκαν στο δυτικό τμήμα της αυτοκρατορίας από τους σταυροφόρους της 4ης σταυροφορίας. Εκτός από τις άμεσες ενδείξεις που μας παρέχουν τα γυάλινα αντικείμενα, υπάρχουν και οι έμμεσες μαρτυρίες που μας προσφέρουν οι τοιχογραφίες, τα ψηφιδωτά και τα χειρόγραφα. Όλα τα στοιχεία συγκλίνουν στο συμπέρασμα ότι η υαλουργία της Κωνσταντινούπολης ήταν μια εναργής και συνεχώς εξελισσόμενη βιοτεχνική και καλλιτεχνική δραστηριότητα κατά την Πρώιμη και Μέση Βυζαντινή περίοδο
description: The paper deals with the Byzantine glass from Constantinople during the Early and Middle Byzantine period (324-1204). The research was based mainly on two axes: the limited published findings that have come to light during the excavations in Constantinople, as well as other parts of the Byzantine world which are in connection, directly and indirectly, with the capital city of the empire. The second field of information is the category of objects known as the “Exuviae Sacrae Constantinopolitanae”, which were transferred to the west part of the Empire by the crusaders of the 4th crusade. Apart from the direct indications which provide us the glass objects, there are also the indirect testimonies offered by frescoes, mosaics and manuscripts. All elements converge to the conclusion that the glass industry of Constantinople was a vigorous and constantly evolving craft and artistic activity during the Early and Middle Byzantine period

description: The present thesis is concerned with the Psaltic manuscripts collection of the Patriarchal Institute For Patristic Studies in Thessaloniki (Vlatades Monastery). In particular, after an introductory chapter of presenting the Institute we proceed with a musicological analysis of selected compositions that can be found in the manuscripts. We deal with the first exegeseis by Grigorios Protopsaltis to the 8-mode “Theotoke Parthene” by Petros Bereketis, we investigate on the issue of the existence or not of an eponymous Anastasimatarion by Germanos Neon Patron, in comparison with its counterpart by Chrysafes the Younger, and we finally publish the as yet unpublished Makarios Aner (Blessed is the man) by Matthaios Ephesios Vatopaidinos in the barys mode accompanied with comments. In the annex one can find a detailed descriptive catalogue of the musical manuscripts, an alphabetical index of proper names, an index of tunes’ descriptions and some coloured facsimiles from the Institute’s collection
Giant Kerr nonlinearities and slow optical solitons in coupled double quantum-wells

description: We show the formation of slow optical solitons in the asymmetric coupled double quantum-wells (CQW) via a two-photon Raman resonance. With the consideration of real parameters in AlGaAs-based CQW, we indicate the possibility to have cancellation of the linear absorption and giant Kerr nonlinearities. With the controllable balance between dispersion and nonlinear effects in these solid-state based devices, this work may provide a practical platform for nonlinear optical signal processing.

description: This Master thesis research was conducted at the Laboratory of Organic Chemistry, at the Department of Chemistry of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Main goal of this scientific research was the synthetic studies of arylamidic isoxazole derivatives that could potentially serve as inhibitors of PARP-1 enzyme. Some general information is given, in the introductory part, regarding the structure and biological activity of PARP enzymes. In addition, it is explained why the inhibition of PARP-1 is beneficial and could potentially help in fighting cancer and so some categories of PARP enzyme, currently in use, are mentioned. Moreover, in the second part of our work, all the synthetic routes that were used and developed are described in detail. Finally, we present our experimental procedures in the third part of this research and information on the characterization of the synthesized compounds is also given
Shape and soft functions of HQET and SCET in the 't Hooft Model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The main application of Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) and of Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) is in establishing factorization theorems for exclusive and semi-inclusive decays of heavy mesons. However, the calculation of the soft factors from the HQET or SCET factorization relations is, as usual, impeded by the non-perturbative aspect of the strong interactions. In the hope of gaining some insights into some of these quantities we compute them in the 't Hooft model. We find that the B-meson shape function is exactly given by the square of the B-meson light-cone wave-function. The structure of the B-pi structure function is more complicated: it is given by the product of wave-functions or by a resonant sum depending on the kinematics. The result simplifies dramatically in the chiral limit, where it can be compared with general arguments based on Heavy Meson-Chiral Perturbation theory. No attempt is made to use these results for applications to phenomenology.
