description: Η αξιολόγηση των συστημάτων διανομής αυτοκινήτων συνιστά ένα δυσχερές και αμφισβητούμενο ζήτημα τόσο από άποψη ουσιαστικού δικαίου όσο και από άποψη δικαίου κατά των περιορισμών του ανταγωνισμού. Από άποψη ουσιαστικού δικαίου αναφύονται ζητήματα, όπως αυτά της εννόμου προστασίας των κατασκευαστών, εισαγωγέων και διανομέων, καθώς επίσης και της προβληματικής της αποζημίωσης του διανομέα σε περίπτωση λήξης της συμβάσεως, επειδή παρανόμως ο κατασκευαστής δεν του παρείχε ικανό διάστημα προκειμένου να αποσβέσει τις επενδύσεις στις οποίες προέβη για την ένταξη του και τη διατήρηση της θέσης του στο δίκτυο. Όσον αφορά την αντιμετώπιση των ζητημάτων από πλευράς δικαίου κατά των περιορισμών του ανταγωνισμού, το ζήτημα εστιάζεται κυρίως στον έλεγχο της επίδρασης των κάθετων συμφωνιών διανομής στο πεδίο του interbrand competition, ήτοι του ανταγωνισμού μεταξύ διαφόρων δικτύων ανταγωνιζόμενων προϊόντων και στον intrabrand competition, ήτοι στον ενδοσηματικό ή ενδοδικτυακό ανταγωνισμό.
description: The Commission’s first block exemption for selective distribution systems for motor vehicles was Regulation 123/85 which was replaced with effect from 1 October 1995 by Regulation 1475/1995. Many of the provisions are in identical or similar form in both block exemptions and much of the commentary and case law relating to Regulation 123/85 therefore remains relevant to the later block exemptions. However, the Commission recognized that the above Block Exemption Regulation should have been renewed, since the regime which had been created by the Regulation 123/85, had not achieved part of its aims. In particular, consumers suffered from the maintenance of high price differentials between Member States and dealers remained heavily dependent upon manufacturers. There was no longer a natural link between the sale of new cars and after-sales servicing.

description: Large-scale structure formation, accretion and merging processes, AGN activity produce cosmological gas shocks. The shocks convert a fraction of the energy of gravitationally accelerated flows to internal energy of the gas. Being the main gas-heating agent, cosmological shocks could amplify magnetic fields and accelerate energetic particles via the multi-fluid plasma relaxation processes. We first discuss the basic properties of standard single-fluid shocks. Cosmological plasma shocks are expected to be collisionless. We then review the plasma processes responsible for the microscopic structure of collisionless shocks. A tiny fraction of the particles crossing the shock is injected into the non-thermal energetic component that could get a substantial part of the ram pressure power dissipated at the shock. The energetic particles penetrate deep into the shock upstream producing an extended shock precursor. Scaling relations for postshock ion temperature and entropy as functions of shock velocity in strong collisionless multi-fluid shocks are discussed. We show that the multi-fluid nature of collisionless shocks results in excessive gas compression, energetic particle acceleration, precursor gas heating, magnetic field amplification and non-thermal emission. Multi-fluid shocks provide a reduced gas entropy production and could also modify the observable thermodynamic scaling relations for clusters of galaxies.

description: H Τ-LGL λευχαιμία είναι μια κλωνική διαταραχή των Τ-LGL κυττάρων η οποία χαρακτηρίζεται από ουδετεροπενία, αναιμία και θρομβοπενία. Η Τ-LGL λευχαιμία συνοδεύεται συχνά από αυτοάνοσες εκδηλώσεις (π.χ.ρευματοειδή αρθρίτιδα) αλλά και από άλλα λεμφοϋπερπλαστικά νοσήματα. Η διάγνωση της T-LGL λευχαιμίας γίνεται κυρίως με κυτταρομετρία ροής κατά την οποία αναδεικνύεται κλωνικότητα των CD8+CD57+ Τ-κυττάρων ενώ επιβεβαιώνεται και με μοριακή ανάλυση των αναδιατάξεων των γονιδίων του ΤCR υποδοχέα. Στους περισσότερους ασθενείς η κλινική πορεία είναι καλή και τα συμπτώματα ήπια, ενώ επιτυγχάνεται βελτίωση της κυτταροπενίας με ανοσοκατασταλτικούς παράγοντες όπως στεροειδή, μεθοτρεξάτη, κυκλοφωσφαμίδιο και κυκλοσπορίνη Α.Ο παθογενετικός μηχανισμός στην T-LGL λευχαιμία δεν έχει πλήρως διευκρινστεί. Υπάρχουν ενδείξεις ότι η Τ-LGL λευχαιμία είναι μια διαταραχή που οφείλεται στην απορρύθμιση των μονοπατιών της απόπτωσης λόγω ανωμαλιών στο Fas/FasL μονοπάτι. Παράλληλα, πολυάριθμα δεδομένα στηρίζουν την άποψη της εξωγενούς αντιγονικής διέγερσης, όπως κάποιος ιός ( π.χ. HTLV).
description: T-cell large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia is a clonal proliferation of cytotoxic T cells, which causes neutropenia, anemia, and/or thrombocytopenia. This condition is often associated with autoimmune disorders, especially rheumatoid arthritis, and other lymphoproliferative disorders. The diagnosis is suggested by flow cytometry demonstrating an expansion of CD8+CD57+ T cells and is confirmed by T-cell receptor gene rearrangement studies. In most patients, this is an indolent disorder, and significant improvement of cytopenias can be achieved with immunosuppressive agents such as steroids, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide, and cyclosporin A.The pathogenetic mechanism lie on the T-LGL development and progression remains elusive. Mounting evidence suggests that LGL leukemia is a disorder of dysregulation of apoptosis through abnormalities in the Fas/Fas ligand pathway. Simultaneously, various data support the idea of antigenic stimulus prior to leukemic transformation and indicate an exogenous antigen such as a viral component (i.e. HTLV) or even an autoantigen.
Scattering as a quantum metrology problem: a quantum walk approach

description: We address the scattering of a quantum particle by a one-dimensional barrier potential over a set of discrete positions. We formalize the problem as a continuous-time quantum walk on a lattice with an impurity, and use the quantum Fisher information as a mean to quantify the maximal possible accuracy in the estimation of the height of the barrier. We introduce suitable initial states of the walker and derive the reflection and transmission probabilities of the scattered state. We show that while the quantum Fisher information is affected by the width and central momentum of the initial wave packet, this dependency is weaker for the quantum signal-to-noise ratio. We also show that a dichotomic position measurement provides a nearly optimal detection scheme.

description: In the first part of the paper Beilinson's theorem on the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on P^n is extended to weighted projective spaces in a rather explicit form. To this purpose the usual category of coherent sheaves is replaced by a suitable category of graded sheaves, and a more general theory of graded schemes is developed. In the second part of the paper the weighted version of Beilinson's theorem is applied to prove a structure theorem for certain canonical projections of surfaces of general type into a 3-dimensional weighted projective space. This result (which generalizes to the weighted case a theorem by Catanese and Schreyer) is mainly interesting for irregular surfaces, and we illustrate it by studying a family of surfaces with p_g=q=2 and K^2=4, whose canonical rings are explicitly computed along the way.

description: This paper describes a novel integrated circuit technology to manufacture high-density thermoelectric devices on a semiconductor wafer. With no moving parts, a thermoelectric cooler operates quietly, allows cooling below ambient temperature, and may be used for temperature control or heating if the direction of current flow is reversed. By using a monolithic process to increase the number of thermoelectric couples, the proposed solid-state cooling technology can be combined with traditional air cooling, liquid cooling, and phase-change cooling to yield greater heat flux and provide better cooling capability.

description: In this thesis, we study the evolution of an autonomous and nonlinear fourth-order electric circuit which is based on a third-order autonomous piecewise linear circuit introduced by Lin and Chua in 1990. Initially we study the behavior of the circuit theoretically. Through simulations, we locate interesting regions which show period doubling and crises and then we realize the circuit in the laboratory.We compare the phase portraits of the experiment with those of the simulation while we confirm the circuit’s behavior through Poincare’ maps.The regions of chaotic and hyperchaotic behavior have been located with the help of Lyapunov exponents. Finally we studied the effect of C1 on the frequency of our circuit.

description: The study interrogated electoral violence among youths and stakeholders in Anambra State, Nigeria (2015-2019). Ex-post facto research design was adopted. The population was 4,822 respondents consisting of INEC officials, executive of all registered political parties, town councils, and youth councils in the state. Simple random, proportionate and accidental sampling techniques were used in selecting 966 respondents for the study. Data collection instruments were Elections Regulations and Guidelines (ERG) contained in the 2010 Electoral Act, and Adherence to Election Ethics Questionnaire (AEEQ) with 20 items meant to elicit responses on the problems of the study. Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was .71. Descriptive statistics, One?way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Simple linear regression were adopted for data analysis. Results showed that the level of adherence to election ethics in the study area is not significantly high and there is a statistically significant influence of perceived adherence to election ethics among stakeholders and involvement in election violence. Public perception of INEC conducting free and fair election significantly predicts adherence to election ethics among youths in Anambra State. It was recommended that candidates, electorates and electoral officials should make concerted efforts to adhere in totality to election ethics. Keywords: Ethics, Youths, Electoral, violence, Politics

description: In this work, we demonstrate enhancement-mode field-effect transistors by atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) amorphous In2O3 channel with thickness down to 0.7 nm. Thickness is found to be critical on the materials and electron transport of In2O3. Controllable thickness of In2O3 at atomic scale enables the design of sufficient 2D carrier density in the In2O3 channel integrated with the conventional dielectric. The threshold voltage and channel carrier density are found to be considerably tuned by channel thickness. Such phenomenon is understood by the trap neutral level (TNL) model where the Fermi-level tends to align deeply inside the conduction band of In2O3 and can be modulated to the bandgap in atomic layer thin In2O3 due to quantum confinement effect, which is confirmed by density function theory (DFT) calculation. The demonstration of enhancement-mode amorphous In2O3 transistors suggests In2O3 is a competitive channel material for back-end-of-line (BEOL) compatible transistors and monolithic 3D integration applications.

Effective role of unpolarized nonvalence partons in Drell-Yan single spin asymmetries

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We perform numerical simulations of the Sivers effect from single spin asymmetries in Drell-Yan processes on transversely polarized protons. We consider colliding antiprotons and pions at different kinematic conditions of interest for the future planned experiments. We conventionally name "framework I" the results obtained when properly accounting for the various flavor dependent polarized valence contributions in the numerator of the asymmetry, and for the unpolarized nonvalence contribution in its denominator. We name "framework II" the results obtained when taking a suitable flavor average of the valence contributions and neglecting the nonvalence ones. We compare the two methods, also with respect to the input parametrization of the Sivers function which is extracted from data with approximations sometimes intermediate between frameworks I and II. Deviations between the two approaches are found to be small except for dilepton masses below 3 GeV. The Sivers effect is used as a test case; the arguments can be generalized to other interesting azimuthal asymmetries in Drell-Yan processes, such as the Boer-Mulders effect.

description: We study concretely several issues altogether, moduli stabilization, the dynamical supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, the uplifting of SUSY anti-de Sitter (AdS) vacuum and the sequestering of hidden sector, in a simple supergravity model with a single extra dimension. The sequestering is achieved dynamically by a wavefunction localization in extra dimension. The expressions for the visible sector soft SUSY breaking terms as well as the hidden sector potential are shown explicitly in our model. We find that the tree-level soft scalar mass and the A-term can be suppressed at a SUSY breaking Minkowski minimum where the radius modulus is stabilized, while gaugino masses would be a mirage type.

title: Contrasting examples of liturgical installation art in Christian worship in England and Scotland from the 1980s to the present day
Creators: name: Marples, Carol
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation argues that liturgical installation is a sub-genre of installation art. Liturgical installation encompasses many of the same key characteristics as installation art but with the distinction that its main focus is to ‘serve the liturgy.’ I intend to demonstrate that liturgical installation, albeit in very different forms, has existed in Christian worship in Scotland and England since the early 1980s. This was initially on the fringes but latterly also within the institution of the Church. Despite its presence in worship for nearly forty years, to date, only a very limited amount has been published on the subject of liturgical installation either by academics, ministers or artists. In support of my key claim that liturgical installation is a sub-genre of installation art, Chapter One will explore the history, development and nature of secular installation art. Contemporary secular art installations, in particular the work of Ann Hamilton and Paul Thek, will be examined in detail. This body of work will be drawn upon throughout the dissertation by way of comparison with the liturgical installations under discussion. This will enable exploration of the parallels and differences between installations created for the purely secular art world and those with a liturgical focus. Chapters Two, Three and Four of the thesis investigate a series of liturgical installations in three different worship expressions: The worship of Wild Goose (1982 - Present Day), the Alternative Worship Movement, with particular focus on the Nine O’ Clock Service (1985-1995), the Late Late Service (ca. 1991-2000) and Soul Circus (2011 - Present Day) and specific instances where liturgical installation has been employed in institutional worship: that of the Presbyterian Parish Church of Renfield St. Stephen’s, Glasgow and the Scottish Episcopal of St. James the Less, Leith, Edinburgh. In addition, in order to compare and contrast liturgical worship with installations made for exhibitional purposes in ecclesial spaces, I examine three case studies of exhibitions at Sheffield, Salisbury and Birmingham Cathedrals. Throughout the thesis, I will explore what this new genre of liturgical installation has brought to the worship of the Church and what it can bring in the future. I will investigate where and for what reasons it has been employed albeit in diverse ways in these very different expressions of contemporary worship. I will conclude by offering some important questions and considerations for the enhanced practice of liturgical installation in the Church.

Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετήθηκε η διαυγαστική ικανότητα τεσσάρων εμπορικών διαυγαστικών προϊόντων: τριών ζελατινών με πολύ μικρό, μεσαίο και πολύ μεγάλο βαθμό υδρόλυσης και μιας αλβουμίνης αυγού. Μελετήθηκε επίσης η επίδρασή τους στα φαινολικά συστατικά, το χρώμα, την αντιοξειδωτική ικανότητα και τα οργανοληπτικά χαρακτηριστικά οίνων από τις ερυθρές ποικιλίες, Αγιωργήτικο και Ξινόμαυρο, που είναι από τις πιο διαδεδομένες στην Ελλάδα. Με τη βοήθεια της στατιστικής και συγκεκριμένα της παραγοντικής ανάλυσης σε δύο συνιστώσες (PCA), επιχειρήθηκε η συσχέτιση μεταξύ των χαρακτηριστικών των οίνων πριν και μετά τη διαύγαση. Η ανάλυση διακύμανσης (One-Way ANOVA) σε επίπεδο εμπιστοσύνης 95% έδειξε επίσης, ότι κάποια από τα διαυγαστικά προϊόντα επηρεάζουν σημαντικά τη θολερότητα, την περιεκτικότητα σε ολικές φαινόλες, ανθοκυάνες, ταννίνες και πολυσακχαρίτες, όπως επίσης και την ένταση του χρώματος των παραπάνω οίνων. Τα αποτελέσματα όμως αυτά, δεν έγιναν αντιληπτά κατά την οργανοληπτική εξέταση που πραγματοποιήθηκε.
description: Fining is an important process in wine production as it allows clarification and reported to increase the stability of wines. Fining ability of four commercial fining agents was studied: three gelatins with low, medium and high degree of hydrolysis and an egg albumin. Their impact in total phenols, color, antioxidant activity and organoleptic characteristics, of two Greek red grape varieties, Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro, was also studied. Using principal component analysis (PCA), a correlation among all variables, before and after the fining treatment was attempted. One-Way ANOVA, (p<0.05), showed that clarification treatments significantly modified turbidity, content of total polyphenols, anthocyanins, tannins, polysaccharides and color intensity and that the degree of these variations was related to the specific fining agent used. However, these results were not confirmed by the results of the sensorial analysis of wines.

description: Heat generation from electronics increases with the advent of high-density integrated circuit technology. To come up with the heat generation, microscale cooling has been thought as a promising technology. Prediction of heat transfer rate is crucial in design of microscale cooling device but is not clearly understood yet. This work proposes a new correlation between heat transfer rate and Brinkman number which is nondimensional number of viscosity, flow velocity and temperature. It is expected that the equation proposed by this work can be useful to design microchannel cooling device.

description: We describe the design and construction of a new apparatus for detecting or constraining deviations from Newtonian gravity at short length scales. The apparatus consists of a new type of probe with rotary mass actuation and cantilever-based force detection which is used to directly measure the force between two micromachined masses separated by tens of microns. We present the first data from the experiment, and discuss the prospects of more precisely constraining or detecting non-Newtonian effects using this probe. Currently, the sensitivity to attractive mass-dependent forces is equal to the best existing limits at length scales near 5 microns. No non-Newtonian effects are detected at that level.

The effect of micropillar height and electrode spacing on the performance of the micropumps was investigated. The performance of the EHD micropump improved with increased applied voltage and decreased electrode spacing. The optimum micropillar height for the micropump with electrode spacing of 40$μ$m and channel height of 100$μ$m at 200V was 40$μ$m, where a maximum mass flow rate of 0.18g/min was predicted. Compared to that of planar electrodes, the 3D micropillar electrode geometry enhanced the overall performance of the EHD micropumps.

description: We report the detection of individual emitters in silicon belonging to seven different families of optically-active point defects. These fluorescent centers are created by carbon implantation of a commercial silicon-on-insulator wafer usually employed for integrated photonics. Single photon emission is demonstrated over the [1.1,1.55]-$μ$m range, spanning the O- and C-telecom bands. We analyse their photoluminescence spectrum, dipolar emission and optical relaxation dynamics at 10K. For a specific family, we show a constant emission intensity at saturation from 10K to temperatures well above the 77K-liquid nitrogen temperature. Given the advanced control over nanofabrication and integration in silicon, these novel artificial atoms are promising candidates for Si-based quantum technologies.

description: We report the first XMM detection of the SNR candidate G337.2+0.1 (=AX J1635.9-4719). The object shows centrally filled and diffuse X-ray emission. The emission peaks in the hard 3.0-10.0 keV band. A spatially resolved spectral study confirms that the column density of the central part of the SNR is about N_{H}~5.9 +/- 1.5*10^{22} cm^{-2} and its X-ray spectrum is well represented by a single power-law with a photon index Gamma=0.96 +/- 0.56. The non-detection of line emission in the central spectrum is consistent with synchrotron radiation from a population of relativistic electrons. Detailed spectral analysis indicates that the outer region is highly absorbed and quite softer than the inner region, with N_{H}~16.2(+/-5.2)*10^{22} cm^{-2} and kT=4.4(+/-2.8) keV. Such characteristics are already observed in other X-ray plerions. Based on the morphological and spectral X-ray information, we confirm the SNR nature of G337.2+0.1, and suggest that the central region of the source is a pulsar wind nebula (PWN), originated by an energetic though yet undetected pulsar, that is currently losing energy at a rate of ~ 10^{36} erg s^{-1}.

The directional nature of hydrophobic interactions: Implications for the mechanism of molecular recognition

description: Based on recent studies on hydrophobic interactions, it is devoted to investigate the directional nature of hydrophobic interactions. It means that the hydrophobic interactions are dependent on the relative orientations as the solutes tend to be aggregated in water. In H1w process, they are attracted to approach each other in the specific direction with lower energy barrier until their surfaces become contact. In H2s process, to maximize the hydrogen bondings of water, the solutes are aggregated in the specific direction to minimize the ratio of surface area to volume of them. Additionally, with decreasing the separation between them, the short-range interactions between the solutes become stronger. In addition, these can be demonstrated by the calculated potential of mean force (PMF) using molecular dynamics simulation. From this work, the hydrophobic driven model is proposed to understand the specificity and affinity of molecular recognition in water.

description: As the integration and the miniaturization of electronics devices, design space become narrower and interactions between design factors affect their reliability. This paper presents a methodology of quantifying the interaction of each design factor in electronics devices. Thermal fatigue reliability of BGA assembly was assessed with the consideration of the interaction between design factors. Sensitivity analysis shows the influence of each design factor to inelastic strain range of a solder joint characterizing the thermal fatigue life if no interaction occurs. However, there is the interaction in BGA assembly since inelastic strain range depends on not only a mismatch in CTE but also a warpage of components. Clustering can help engineers to clarify the relation between design factors. The variation in the influence was taken to quantify the interaction of each design factor. Based on the interaction, simple evaluating approach of inelastic strain range for the BGA assembly was also developed. BGA package was simplified into a homogeneous component and equivalent CTE wascalculated from the warpage of BGA and PCB. The estimated equation was derived by using the response surface method as a function of design factors. Based upon these analytical results, design engineers can rate each factor's effect on reliability and assess the reliability of their basic design plan at the concept design stage.

description: Future electron-ion colliders (eIC) will focus on the unitarity properties of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) in the limit of strong nuclear absorption. Strong nuclear shadowing and a large abundance of coherent diffraction are the most striking consequences of unitarity, and here we report quantitative predictions for these effects in the kinematical range of the planned eIC.

Efficiency of Thermal Conduction in a Magnetised Circumgalactic Medium

description: The large temperature difference between cold gas clouds around galaxies and the hot halos that they are moving through suggests that thermal conduction could play an important role in the circumgalactic medium. However, thermal conduction in the presence of a magnetic field is highly anisotropic, being strongly suppressed in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field lines. This is commonly modelled by using a simple prescription that assumes that thermal conduction is isotropic at a certain efficiency $f<1$, but its precise value is largely unconstrained. We investigate the efficiency of thermal conduction by comparing the evolution of 3D hydrodynamical (HD) simulations of cold clouds moving through a hot medium, using artificially suppressed isotropic thermal conduction (with $f$), against 3D magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations with (true) anisotropic thermal conduction. Our main diagnostic is the time evolution of the amount of cold gas in conditions representative of the lower (close to the disc) circumgalactic medium of a Milky Way-like galaxy. We find that in almost every HD and MHD run, the amount of cold gas increases with time, indicating that hot gas condensation is an important phenomenon that can contribute to gas accretion onto galaxies. For the most realistic orientations of the magnetic field with respect to the cloud motion we find that $f$ is in the range 0.03 -- 0.15. Thermal conduction is thus always highly suppressed, but its effect on the cloud evolution is generally not negligible.
Brewery wastewater treatment using aerobic sequencing batch reactors with mixed culture activated sludge
Creators: name: Ling, Luqiong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Laboratory-scale aerobic sequencing batch reactors, in both suspended-growth and attached-growth modes, were used to study the treatment of brewery wastewater. A Ringlaces material was selected and employed for the attached-growth reactors. Experiments were conducted employing a wide range of hydraulic retention times, from 0.56 to 6.06 days. The experimental results demonstrated that brewery wastewater could be successfully treated using both suspended-growth and attached-growth aerobic sequencing batch reactors. Treatment efficiencies in terms of the removals of total organic carbon (TOC), the five days biological demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and suspended solids (SS) were consistently maintained over 90%, with the suspended-growth reactors performing significantly better than the attached-growth reactors. As the results of these experiments demonstrated that the performance of suspended-growth SBRs was superior to that of attached-growth SBRs, only the suspended-growth SBR system was selected to study the optimal conditions of HRT and loading rate. The results showed that the maximum removal of TOC and SS could be reached at the optimal of HRT and loading rate. The removal of TOC was more sensitive to variations in the HRT than to variations in the loading rate; however, the effect of loading rate was dominant in the removal of SS compared to the effect of the HRT. The pH remained relatively constant during the aeration stage. The dissolved oxygen concentration changed as aeration proceeded. This may be related to TOC degradation and microbial activity. A lower sludge production rate was observed in the aerobic suspended-growth SBRs. [Scientific formulae used in this abstract could not be reproduced.]

description: Ο σκοπός της εργασίας ήταν η μελέτη του βαθμού ωρίμανσης των καρπών της ποικιλίας Χονδρολιά Χαλκιδικής στα επίπεδα των πτητικών συστατικών του ελαιολάδου, σε μια προσπάθεια εκτίμησης του βέλτιστου βαθμού ωρίμανσης των καρπών ελιάς, για την παραλαβή ελαιολάδου με το καλύτερο δυνατό άρωμα. Οι ελιές συλλέχθηκαν σε τρία διαφορετικά στάδια ωρίμανσης από το ίδιο ελαιόδεντρο. Τα δείγματα ελαιολάδου αναλύθηκαν για την περιεκτικότητά τους σε ξηρό υπόλειμμα και σε έλαιο και για την σύσταση τους σε ελεύθερα λιπαρά οξέα. Η παραλαβή των πτητικών συστατικών έγινε με την τεχνική της μικροεκχύλισης στερεάς φάσης (SPME) και οι πτητικές ενώσεις προσδιορίστηκαν με αέρια χρωματογραφία-φασματοσκοπία μάζας (GC-MS). Οι ενώσεις που προσδιορίστηκαν ποσοτικά στην εργασία ήταν η (Ε)-2-εξενάλη, η (Ζ)-3-εξενόλη και η εξανάλη. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν πως οι συγκεντρώσεις των πιο πάνω ενώσεων μειώθηκαν καθώς ο βαθμός ωρίμανσης των καρπών αυξήθηκε. Το ελαιόλαδο από τους καρπούς ελιάς με τον ενδιάμεσο βαθμό ωρίμανσης χαρακτηρίστηκε ως το έλαιο με την καλύτερη οργανοληπτική ποιότητα.
description: The aim of this work was to study the stage of fruit ripening of the fruits of the Hondrolia Halkidikis variety, in the levels of the volatiles compounds of olive oil, in an attempt to estimate the optimum degree of ripeness of the olive fruits for the extraction of oil with the best possible aroma. The olives were collected in three different stages of ripening from the same olive tree. The olive oil samples were analysed for water and oil content and for their free fatty acids composition. The extraction of the volatiles compounds was done with the solid phase microextraction (SPME) and their volatile compounds were determined with GC-MS. The volatile compounds (E)-2-hexenal (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol and hexanal were considered quantitatively in this study. Results showed that the concentrations of the above volatiles compounds were reduced as the degree of ripeness of the olive fruit was increased. The olive oil from the olives with the middle stage of ripeness was characterised as the oil with better organoleptic quality.

description: We suggest and study designed defects in an otherwise periodic potential modulation of a two-dimensional electron gas as an alternative approach to electron spin based quantum information processing in the solid-state using conventional gate-defined quantum dots. We calculate the band structure and density of states for a periodic potential modulation, referred to as an antidot lattice, and find that localized states appear, when designed defects are introduced in the lattice. Such defect states may form the building blocks for quantum computing in a large antidot lattice, allowing for coherent electron transport between distant defect states in the lattice and tunnel coupling of neighboring defect states with corresponding electrostatically controllable exchange coupling between different electron spins.
