title: 3D printing: analysis of technologies and methodology of its applications
Creators: name: Παπαγεωργιου Μαριαννα

description: Technology, due to its rapid progress, has affected recent human history
significantly, probably more than any other field has achieved to. The personal
computer with its vast capabilities, low price and portability has revolutionised each and every field of science, technology, communication as well as our private lives.
3D Printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is considered to be a
disruptive technology, that has the vast potential to make our lives better in many ways. 3D printing is a radically different manufacturing method based on advanced technology that builds up parts, additively, in layers at the sub mm scale. This is fundamentally different from any other existing traditional manufacturing techniques. This technology, enables us to build objects directly, encourages innovation with design freedom, gives the designers the possibility to implement their creations right away, while being a tool­less process that reduces prohibitive costs and lead times as products are sold before their real existence. Thus, is a technology that will change the
way we choose, offer and produce products.
There are many benefits the 3D printing technology, such as cheap manufacturing, low pre­financing cost, quick production, little excess, less industrial waste, worldwide accessibility and creation of new business models. Each different type of 3D printers employs a different technology that processes different materials in different ways. Functional plastics, metals, ceramics and sand are, now, all routinely used for industrial prototyping and production applications. Even if at the entry level of the market currently materials are quite limited and plastic is currently the only widely used material, there are a growing number of alternatives. One of the most basic limitations of 3D printing, in terms of materials and applications, is that there is no ‘one solution fits all’, promoting customization greatly.
Considering the big variety of the methods and applications of the constantly
growing technology of 3D printing, this thesis describes the different existing
technologies of 3D printing and provides a subsequent analysis of the way each
technology works, focusing on their potential, problems and benefits. The last part of the thesis concerns the production of some 3D printed prototypes, that address diverse type of objects, simple and complex, one­piece and multi­part, with the appropriate assembly techniques, which are designed and printed at the TUC TIE (Transformable Intelligent Environments) laboratory for the aim of this project.
Analytical shock solutions at large and small Prandtl number

description: Exact one-dimensional solutions to the equations of fluid dynamics are derived in the large-Pr and small-Pr limits (where Pr is the Prandtl number). The solutions are analogous to the Pr = 3/4 solution discovered by Becker and analytically capture the profile of shock fronts in ideal gases. The large-Pr solution is very similar to Becker's solution, differing only by a scale factor. The small-Pr solution is qualitatively different, with an embedded isothermal shock occurring above a critical Mach number. Solutions are derived for constant viscosity and conductivity as well as for the case in which conduction is provided by a radiation field. For a completely general density- and temperature-dependent viscosity and conductivity, the system of equations in all three limits can be reduced to quadrature. The maximum error in the analytical solutions when compared to a numerical integration of the finite-Pr equations is O(1/Pr) for large Pr and O(Pr) for small Pr.

description: The free fall of electric charges and dipoles, radial and freely falling into the Schwarzschild black hole event horizon, was considered. Inverse effect of electromagnetic fields on the black hole is neglected. Dipole was considered as a point particle, so the deformation associated with exposure by tidal forces are neglected. According to the theorem, "the lack of hair" of black holes, multipole magnetic fields must be fully emitted by multipole fall into a black hole. The spectrum of electromagnetic radiation power for these multipoles (monopole and dipole) was found. Differences were found in the spectra for different orientations of the falling dipole. A general method has been developed to find radiated electromagnetic multipole fields for the free falling multipoles into a black hole (including higher order multipoles - quadrupoles, etc.). The electromagnetic spectrum can be compared with observational data from stellar mass and smaller black holes.

An investigation of a dual-processing hypothesis of lucid dreaming

Subjects: lucid dreams, dream recall, locus of control, openness to experience, dual-processing theory, Cognitive Reflection Test, syllogisms, Type 2 thinking

description: Neuroimaging research has isolated the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) as a brain structure associated with lucid dreaming, indicating that higher-order executive functions are involved in the onset of lucid dreaming. The DLPFC has also been implicated in the onset of Type 2 thinking. As such, a hypothetical link exists between Type 2 thinking and lucid dreaming, moderated by DLPFC activity. The present study investigated this potential link, hypothesising that lucid dreaming frequency would be related to Type 2 thinking. In Study 1, participants (N=103) reported their lucid dream frequency (LDF) retrospectively, and completed the Cognitive Reflections Test (CRT), which measures Type 2 thinking, as well as several other measures that have previously been found to correlate with LDF.Sinceretrospective estimates may be prone to memory errors and biases, a second study investigating LDF using prospective measures was conducted. In Study 2, participants (N=30) retrospectively estimated their LDF and also prospectively reported their LDF using dream diaries for 1 month; these participants also completed the CRT, a syllogisms test, and several other measures that have previously been found to correlate with LDF. No evidence was found for a dual-processing hypothesis of lucid dreaming:in Study 1, CRT scores did not correlate with retrospective LDF, and in Study 2, neither prospective nor retrospective LDF correlated with either CRT or syllogisms test scores. Significant relationships were found, however, between previously identified correlates of LDF: dream recall frequency; the personality trait “openness to experience”; and internal locus of control. It was additionally found that retrospective and prospective estimates of LDF correlated very highly, indicating the retrospective estimate of LDF is a valid measure.

Non-classical features of Polarization Quasi-Probability Distribution

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Polarization quasi-probability distribution (PQPD) is defined in the Stokes space, and it enables the calculation of mean values and higher-order moments for polarization observables using simple algebraic averaging. It can be reconstructed with the help of polarization quantum tomography and provides a full description of the polarization properties of quantum states of light. We show here that, due to its definition in terms of the discrete-valued Stokes operators, polarization quasi-probability distribution has singularities and takes negative values at integer values of the Stokes observables. However, in experiments with `bright' many-photon states, the photon-number resolution is typically smeared due to the technical limitations of contemporary photodetectors. This results in a PQPD that is positive and regular even for such strongly nonclassical states as single-photon seeded squeezed vacuum. This problem can be solved by `highlighting' the quantum state, that is, by adding a strong coherent beam into the orthogonal polarization mode. This procedure bridges polarization quantum tomography with the Wigner-function tomography, while preserving the main advantage of the first one, namely, immunity to the common phase fluctuations in the light path. Thus, it provides a convenient method for the verification of bright nonclassical states of light, such as squeezed Fock states.

description: We find the weak rate of convergence of the spatially semidiscrete finite element approximation of the nonlinear stochastic heat equation. Both multiplicative and additive noise is considered under different assumptions. This extends an earlier result of Debussche in which time discretization is considered for the stochastic heat equation perturbed by white noise. It is known that this equation has a solution only in one space dimension. In order to obtain results for higher dimensions, colored noise is considered here, besides white noise in one dimension. Integration by parts in the Malliavin sense is used in the proof. The rate of weak convergence is, as expected, essentially twice the rate of strong convergence.

We consider the existence of finite deformations for soft materials and the possibility of electric currents, temperature gradients, and internal heat generation due to dissipation. Starting with Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism and balance laws of nonlinear elasticity, we present the governing equations and boundary conditions in incremental form in order to solve wave propagation problems of boundary value type.

description: Abstract
Objectives: to know about percentage of patients getting wound infection and commonly grown bacteria in emergency laparotomy incisions. Summary: Surgical site infections are very high in developing countries. Infections at surgical sites leads to delayed discharge from hospital increased cost of treatment to either government or patient themselves. We assessed the infection rate in emergency laparotomy patients and time taken for hospital stay, and treatment done with antibiotics according to culture sensitivity report. Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients who had undergone emergency laparotomy for acute abdomen for perforation peritonitis OR intestinal obstruction from Jan 2016 to Dec 2021 in a premier tertiary care hospital in north India. Most of these patients were operated upon by senior residents & assistant professors. We have primarily studied about the wound discharge and culture of bacteria grown from the wound. Results & discussion: Total 142 patients underwent emergency surgery for different reasons in 5 years. 70 patients developed surgical site infections either superficial, deep or organ specific involvement in postoperative period during hospital stay. All the patients were operated by midline incision and mass closure done. All the patients of different ages were involved in study and found that majority patients were operated for perforation of intestine or intestinal obstruction and appendicitis. 50% of operated patients developed infections at surgical site of different depth and the culture from these wounds have grown E.coli, klebsiella, Enterobacter and pseudomonas. Wounds were cleaned, drained and dressed and sensitive antibiotics were given for treatment. Majority of patients (40) with infection stayed up to 20 days in hospital whereas 30 patients stayed for more than 30 days in hospital. Conclusions: Surgical site infection rate is comparatively very high in patients operated in emergency and for bowel involvement.

description: We propose a cosmological model of D3-brane universe on compact and stable supergravity background of wrapped D7-branes in type IIB string theory previously argued to be dual to pure N=1 SU(N) gauge theory in four dimensions. A model universe of order Planck size near the UV boundary dynamically flows toward the IR with constant total energy density and accelerating expansion followed by smooth transition to decelerating expansion and collides with the wrapped D7-branes at the IR boundary. The model addresses the horizon and flatness problems with most of the expansion produced during the decelerating expansion phase. The inflationary scenario is used to generate sources of inhomogeneities in the cosmic microwave background radiation and seeds for large scale structure formation from quantum fluctuations which exit the Hubble radius early during the accelerating expansion phase and the model addresses the inhomogeneity problem with red tilt in the power spectrum. We propose that the kinetic energy of the model universe is converted to matter and radiation by the collision followed by formation of baryons that stabilizes the model universe against gravitational force from the background at a finite distance from the IR boundary with the wrapped D7-branes serving as sources of color. Friedmann evolution then takes over with a positive cosmological constant term coming from the remaining potential energy density which is interpreted as dark energy. The magnitude of dark energy density is smaller than the total energy density during the flow by a ratio of the scale factor when the model universe appears in the UV to the scale factor at the moment of collision and stays constant while the matter-radiation density falls during Friedmann expansion.

description: Plastic has infiltrated every ecosystem on the planet, making encounters between this anthropogenic pollutant and fauna inevitable. Abiotic environmental breakdown involving light, oxygen, temperature and mechanical forces is well-characterized, while biotic degradation mechanisms are less well-understood. Reports of the role of macrofauna in the fragmentation of plastic debris are increasing. This review explores the driving factors for macrofaunal fragmentation, as well as the physiological mechanisms by which plastic items are fragmented. The presence, and access to plastic within an organism’s habitat are the key determinants of macrofaunal plastic degradation. Foraging strategies, along with burrowing and nesting behaviors increase the likelihood of macrofauna interacting with plastics. Though this type of fragmentation can occur externally, it often follows ingestion, which in itself can be driven by resemblance to food. Four physical mechanisms of macrofaunal plastic fragmentation were identified, namely biting, drilling, grazing and grinding. Biting, restricted to the mouthparts of an organism, was the most common form of macrofaunal fragmentation reported in literature. Similarly, the use of specialized mouthparts for drilling or grazing can produce secondary plastic particles. Lastly, grinding, through manipulation by the gizzard or gastric mill following ingestion can significantly reduce the size of the plastic material. Prolonged and/or repeated interactions with plastics pose the risk of increased wear on the mouthparts and digestive organs involved. Through mechanisms that directly affect the plastic’s structural integrity, physical fragmentation by macrofauna can amplify overall plastic degradation rates and the formation of micro- and nanoplastics in the environment, while long internal retention times can contribute to their dispersal, trophic transfer, and the organism’s exposure to plastic additives. To more fully understand the extent of macrofaunal plastic fragmentation and allow predictive modeling, we suggest the reporting of evidence in a unified and systematic way. Our findings further highlight the urgency for the implementation of a global plastic waste management system to reduce the burden of micro- and nanoplastics.

description: This paper is an exposition of the author's recent work (arXiv:1001.3382 [hep-th], arXiv:1005.5430 [cond-mat.dis-nn], arXiv:1212.4956 [quant-ph]) on modeling M-theory vacua and quantum mechanical observers in the framework of a temporally statistical description of quantum geometrodynamics, including measurement processes based on the canonical theory of quantum gravity. In this paper we deal with several fundamental issues of time: the time-less problem in canonical quantum gravity; the physical origin of state reductions; and time-reversal symmetry breaking. We first model the observers and consider the time-less problem by invoking the time reparametrization symmetry breaking in the quantum mechanical world as seen by the observers. We next construct the hidden time variable theory, using a model of the gauged and affinized S-duality symmetry in type IIB string theory, as the statistical theory of time and explain the physical origin of state reductions using it. Finally, by the extension of the time reparametrization symmetry to all of the temporal hidden variables, we treat the issue of time reversal symmetry breaking as the spontaneous breaking of this extended time reparametrization symmetry. The classification of unitary time-dependent processes and the geometrizations of unitary and non-unitary time evolutions using the language of the derived category are also investigated.

description: This paper proposes two new weighting schemes that average forecasts using different estimation windows to account for structural change. We let the weights reflect the probability of each time point being the most-recent break point, and we use the reversed ordered Cusum test statistics to capture this intuition. The second weighting method simply imposes heavier weights on those forecasts that use more recent information. The proposed combination forecasts are evaluated using Monte Carlo techniques, and we compare them with forecasts based on other methods that try to account for structural change, including average forecasts weighted by past forecasting performance and techniques that first estimate a break point and then forecast using the post break data. Simulation results show that our proposed weighting methods often outperform the others in the presence of structural breaks. An empirical application based on a NAIRU Phillips curve model for the United States indicates that it is possible to outperform the random walk forecasting model when we employ forecasting methods that account for break uncertainty.

title: Religious Heritage Tourism: The St. Paul Trail Project in Troas
Creators: name: Boz, Mustafa
Publisher: name: Technological University Dublin

description: Today many tourists wish to explore different cultures, and thus, visit cultural, historical and religious sites. The WTO estimates that each year between 300-330 million tourists visit the most important religious sites in the world. Religious tourism is purported to foster socio-economic development of host communities and promote awareness of the historical, cultural, traditional, and artistic heritage values of destinations. Host destinations increasingly create and offer cultural and religious routes as tourism products, so that the staying duration of tourists can be extended and revenues can be increased. One such destination, where religious / pilgrim tourism is growing in popularity is Turkey. This paper is a preparatory work of a project called ‘The St. Paul Trail in Troas’.
St. Paul was responsible for the spread of Jesus’ message and Christianity throughout Asia Minor and Western Europe. St. Paul had 3 Missionary Journeys and one voyage to Rome. In his 2nd Missionary Journey to Greece (AD 50-52 or 49-52) (Acts 15:3618:22) and his 3rd Missionary Journey, Paul travelled to Asia and Greece. In AD 53-58 (or 54-58) (Acts 18:23-21:15) he visited and passed through the Troas region (today’s Canakkale), raising a young Eutychus from the dead and meeting with Luke in Assos.
The project has been accepted as a ‘Future is in Tourism Project’ which is supported by the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme), the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Turkey, and Anadolu Group, as an important stage of the ‘Troy Culture Route’. The St. Paul Trail starts from the ancient port of Alexandria Troas (Dalyan), where he landed on his 3rd Missionary Journey and follows his footsteps to the temple of Apollo Smintheion, ending at the ancient port of Assos where he boarded a boat to go to Lesbos. The trail will be about 60kms and in some places, it follows an original Roman route.
The general objectives of the project are: the development of sustainable tourism in the region; supporting local development, to ensure not only economic growth but also socio-cultural development, and; to ensure the spread of tourism in all seasons. It is expected that a successfully constructed and promoted trail will attract many tourists from all over the world who wish to trace the history of their religion, visit Biblical places, and places linked to Homer's epic tales (The Iliad and Odysseus).

description: Turán's theorem is a cornerstone of extremal graph theory. It asserts that for any integer $r \geq 2$ every graph on $n$ vertices with more than ${\tfrac{r-2}{2(r-1)}\cdot n^2}$ edges contains a clique of size $r$, i.e., $r$ mutually adjacent vertices. The corresponding extremal graphs are balanced $(r-1)$-partite graphs. The question as to how many such $r$-cliques appear at least in any $n$-vertex graph with $γn^2$ edges has been intensively studied in the literature. In particular, Lovász and Simonovits conjectured in the 1970s that asymptotically the best possible lower bound is given by the complete multipartite graph with $γn^2$ edges in which all but one vertex class is of the same size while the remaining one may be smaller. Their conjecture was recently resolved for $r=3$ by Razborov and for $r=4$ by Nikiforov. In this article, we prove the conjecture for all values of $r$.

EUROPEANIZATION VERSUS DEMOCRATIZATION IN GEORGIA, MOLDOVA AND UKRAINE. INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CHALLENGES TO DEMOCRATIC CONSOLIDATION
Creators: name: POPSOI, MIHAIL
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2021

description: There is a growing disconnect between Europeanization and democratization in the immediate neighborhood of the European Union. Often overlooked by euro-centric academic research, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine are a litmus test for the challenges facing democratic consolidation in a geopolitically contested region. The study dissects the relationship between Europeanization and Democratization processes in the three countries; scrutinizes the internal and external challenges to democratic consolidation and critically assesses the effectiveness of EU?s normative power projection in the region. In the process, the author challenges Huntington?s concept of ?snowballing?, disconfirming his one directional democratic cascade theory in the specific condition of the countries comprising the case study. The unique condition of these countries is epitomized by the European Union?s facilitation of democracy, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, Russia?s facilitation of the status quo, while also encouraging undemocratic practices. This challenges the neofunctionalist democratic spillover expectation and accredits a path-dependent neo-institutionalist account of democratization in the region. Moreover, the author finds robust evidence in support of the modernization theory of democracy, while also confirming the negative effects of active geopolitical competition on the battleground countries. The study questions the efficacy of EU?s democracy promotion efforts and argues in favor of anchoring the three countries on the European integration track as an imperative mechanism for boosting the chances of democratic consolidation.
Rapid literature review on the impact of health messaging and product information on alcohol labelling

description: Alcohol labelling enables people to make informed decisions about the products they purchase and consume. This rapid review explores the impact of health messaging and product information on consumer attention, comprehension, recall, judgment and behavioural compliance in relation to alcohol use. The rapid review adopted a multi-faceted search strategy to identify primary studies on health messaging and/or product information on alcohol packaging, and the impact of these on consumer-related outcomes. The review provides support for large, colourful labels on the front of alcohol products and the use of plain packaging to increase the visibility of health messaging. It also supports the use of explicit, negatively-framed statements that link alcohol to specific diseases. Colour-coded schemes and pictorial warnings may further optimize the effectiveness of alcohol labels. We did not find sufficient evidence to support the effectiveness of product information alone in influencing consumerattention, comprehension, recall, judgment and behavioural compliance. Well-designed alcohol labels can positively influence consumers’ attention, comprehension, recall, judgment and behavioural compliance. The findings have implications for alcohol labelling research and policy.

Localization in coupled heterogeneously disordered transport channels on the Bethe lattice

description: We study the Anderson localization in systems, in which transport channels with rather different properties are coupled together. This problem arises naturally in systems of hybrid particles, such as exciton-polaritons, where it is not obvious which transport channel dominates the coupled system. Here we address the question of whether the coupling between a strongly and a weakly disordered channel will result in localized (insulating) or delocalized (metallic) behavior. Complementing an earlier study in 1D [H. Y. Xie, V. E. Kravtsov, and M. Müller, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{86} 014205 (2012)], the problem is solved here on a bilayer Bethe lattice with parametrically different parameters. The comparison with the analytical solution in 1D shows that dimensionality plays a crucial role. In D=1 localization is in general dominated by the dirtier channel, which sets the backscattering rate. In contrast, on the Bethe lattice a delocalized channel remains almost always delocalized, even when coupled to strongly localized channels. We conjecture that this phenomenology holds true for finite dimensions $D>2$ as well. Possible implications for interacting many-body systems are discussed.

Impact

description: There is a substantial body of literature concerning evaluation and impact of citizen science (CS) including methodical approaches to measure impact in the best way. However, existing knowledge on the actual outcomes and impact of co- creative citizen social science (CSS) is scarcer. This gap includes how impact in CSS can be measured and assessed in the best way.  

The H2020 YouCount project can contribute to better understanding of the effects of co-creative CSS as a large multilevel Y-CSS project involving nine countries across Europe and several research substudies. This deliverable introduces the challenges faced when it comes to impact assessment of CSS, the multidisciplinary applied research conducted in YouCount and defines its own approach to impact assessment. The studies’ results show the conclusions of the impact assessment of YouCount, building from the rich variety of the outputs and outcomes produced in YouCount. The study delves into the level of achievement of the intended impact objectives of YouCount; and analyses its unplanned impacts.

description: The provision of publicly funded UK drug and alcohol services moved from a predominantly face-to-face to a remote care model in response to COVID-19. This major natural experiment can inform policy and practice in service delivery. The self-reported experiences of N = 2723 receiving remotely provided services during the pandemic were collected via an anonymous online survey. The survey was available for completion June to November 2020. Cross-sectional survey data were analyzed, using thematic analysis, at five consecutive timepoints. This allowed for information on changing perspectives and experiences to be fed back to services in real time to underpin service user-informed practice. Experiences of the switch to remote care were characterized by both positive themes: (1) feeling safe; (2) feeling supported; (3) greater convenience; (4) the positive impact of remote care on my progress, and by negative themes: (1) limits of remote care; (2) missing face-to-face care; (3) loneliness and isolation; (4) not enough support; and (5) lack of person-centered focus. Informed suggestions to improve the remote care offer, post-COVID comprised: (1) leave remote care in place; (2) increase support; (3) new models of working. Longer-term provision of remote care will be welcomed by some, but not all, service users. Work to tailor remote care to account for preferences and personal circumstances has the potential to provide greater choice and expand capacity—potentially necessary to absorb an anticipated surge in new treatment starters post-COVID.
