description: The formation and growth of supermassive black holes is a key issue to unveil the secrets of galaxy formation. In particular, the gravitational recoil produced in the merger of unequal mass black hole binaries could have a number of astrophysical implications, such as the ejection of black holes from the host galaxy or globular cluster. We present estimates of the recoil velocity that include the effect of small eccentricities. The approach is specially suited for the last stage of the merger, where most of the emission of linear momentum in gravitational waves takes place. Supplementing our estimates with post-Newtonian approximations, we obtain lower and upper bounds that constrain previous recoil velocities estimates as well as a best estimate that agrees with numerical simulations in the quasi-circular case. For eccentricities e <= 0.1, the maximum recoil is found for mass ratios of M_1/M_2 ~ 0.38 with a best estimate of ~ 167 (1 + e) km/s and upper and lower bounds of 79 (1 + e) km/s and 216 (1 + e) km/s respectively.

Excessive sexual activities among male clients in substance abuse treatment. An interview study.
Creators: name: Punzi, Elisabeth Hansen
name: Tidefors, Inga

Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2014

description: Purpose: The co-occurrence of substance abuse and excessive sexual activities is acknowledged in research and treatment practice. Men seem particularly at risk for developing excessive sexual activities. Excessive sexual activities complicate substance abuse treatment, and clients with such co-occurring difficulties have considerable treatment needs. It is therefore considered important to investigate how male clients who had enacted excessive sexual activities, perceive their excessive sexual activities, and themselves.


Design: Interviews were performed with five male clients in substance abuse treatment, who had enacted excessive sexual activities. The interviews concerned the participants’ perception of themselves and how they came to enact excessive sexual activities. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis.


Results: Two major themes were identified. One theme concerned overwhelming shame and difficulties to discuss sexuality in treatment. The second theme concerned how perceptions about masculinity had influenced sexual activities. Sexuality was described as an absent topic in their previous and ongoing treatment, and the participants described a need to discuss sexuality.


Implications: It seems important that future studies investigate how excessive sexual activities might be identified and handled in treatment. It also seems important to investigate how gender-perceptions might influence excessive sexual activities. As a suggestion, practitioners should address sexuality, shame and perceptions about gender during treatment.

title: Setting limits, pushing boundaries : Tacitus’ 'Agricola' and the simulacrum of history
Creators: name: González Rojas, Pablo Javier
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This thesis investigates the generic hybridity of Tacitus’ Agricola, a text whose experimental nature still represents a literary puzzle, not only within Tacitus’ historiographical output, but also as a piece of Roman literature produced during the Imperial period. This research aims to look more closely at the interpretative potential of the generic overlapping taking place in the Agricola, arguing that the text exhibits an author thinking and operating historiographically within the frame of a Roman vita. How does the generic instability of the Agricola affect its interpretability? I shall demonstrate that the experimentation readers can perceive in the Agricola at the level of forms emphasises the question of how to represent the past under autocratic regimes, especially from a senatorial perspective. I argue that Tacitus’ first work is a sophisticated metaphor in that it depicts Agricola setting the limits of the empire, and at the same time it envisages the Agricola pushing the boundaries of genre – which accordingly calls into question the very function of history writing in Tacitus’ day. By analysing the text’s macro and micro-structures (from the structural rings down to sentence structure), this thesis will illustrate the way in which the Agricola exhibits a war narrative embedded within a biography. Furthermore, by reading Tacitus’ Agricola in its historico-literary setting, this thesis will contribute to advance our understanding of the phenomenon of transitions as experienced by Romans during the Imperial age. Particularly in the Agricola, the aesthetics of transition exhibits the manner in which literature is employed to provide successive political crises with a palliative and coherent narrative, making sense of the change and asserting the role Tacitus and his peers must perform within the new historico-literary landscape.

description: Locally finite omega languages were introduced by Ressayre in [Journal of Symbolic Logic, Volume 53, No. 4, p.1009-1026]. They generalize omega languages accepted by finite automata or defined by monadic second order sentences. We study here closure properties of the family LOC_omega of locally finite omega languages. In particular we show that the class LOC_omega is neither closed under intersection nor under complementation, giving an answer to a question of Ressayre.

description: We describe a simple computer package which illustrates a method of combining stellar dynamics with stellar evolution. Though the method is intended for elaborate applications (especially the dynamical evolution of rich star clusters) it is illustrated here in the context of three-body scattering, i.e. interactions between a binary star and a field of single stars. We describe the interface between the dynamics and the two independent packages which describe the internal evolution of single stars and binaries. We also give an example application, and introduce a stand alone utility for the visual presentation of simulation results.

description: In the setting of the Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase Matrix theory, dual to light-cone M-theory in a PP-wave background, we compute the Von Neumann entanglement entropy between a probe giant graviton and a source. We demonstrate that this entanglement entropy is directly and generally related to the local tidal acceleration experienced by the probe. This establishes a new map between local spacetime geometry and quantum entanglement, suggesting a mechanism through which geometry emerges from Matrix quantum mechanics. We extend this setting to light-cone M-theory in flat space, or the Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind Matrix model, and we conjecture a new general relation between a certain measure of entanglement in Matrix theories and local spacetime geometry. The relation involves a `c-tensor' that measures the evolution of local transverse area and relates to the local energy-momentum tensor measured by a probe.

Biomarkers and depression in multiple sclerosis : a longitudinal pilot study
Creators: name: Norris, DJ
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2024

description: Depression is the most common psychiatric symptom experienced by people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Pathological inflammation, a characteristic hallmark of multiple sclerosis, has shown to alter peripheral and brain biomarkers implicated in the development and perpetuation of depression. However, few studies have examined this relationship in pwMS. The first study cross-sectionally examined the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and depression in pwMS compared to healthy participants. The results suggested: (1) pwMS have higher levels of depressive symptoms than healthy participants; (2) proinflammatory cytokines do not differ across pwMS and healthy participants; and (3) some kynurenine-pathway metabolites differ and are involved in depression in pwMS. The second study examined the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and depression in pwMS cross-sectionally and longitudinally (5-to-6-year period). The results suggested: (1) there are moderate cross-sectional relationships between some proinflammatory cytokines and kynurenine-pathway metabolites in pwMS at baseline; (2) some proinflammatory cytokines increase in pwMS overtime; and (3) no detected relationships between proinflammatory cytokines and depression in pwMS. The contribution of these findings toward the current understanding of inflammatory biomarkers in the pathogenesis and treatment of depression in pwMS is discussed. Future studies examining the role of biomarkers in depression in pwMS are required.
Evidence for sub-Chandrasekhar Type Ia supernovae from the last major merger

description: We investigate the contribution of sub-Chandrasekhar mass Type Ia supernovae to the chemical enrichment of the Gaia Sausage galaxy, the progenitor of a significant merger event in the early life of the Milky Way. Using a combination of data from Nissen & Schuster (2010), the 3rd GALAH data release (with 1D NLTE abundance corrections) and APOGEE data release 16, we fit analytic chemical evolution models to a 9-dimensional chemical abundance space (Fe, Mg, Si, Ca, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn) in particular focusing on the iron-peak elements, Mn and Ni. We find that low [Mn/Fe] $\sim-0.15\,\mathrm{dex}$ and low [Ni/Fe] $\sim-0.3\,\mathrm{dex}$ Type Ia yields are required to explain the observed trends beyond the [$α$/Fe] knee of the Gaia Sausage (approximately at [Fe/H] $=-1.4\,\mathrm{dex}$). Comparison to theoretical yield calculations indicate a significant contribution from sub-Chandrasekhar mass Type Ia supernovae in this system (from $\sim60$% to $100$% depending on the theoretical model with an additional $\pm10$% systematic from NLTE corrections). We compare to results from other Local Group environments including dwarf spheroidal galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way's bulge, finding the Type Ia [Mn/Fe] yield must be metallicity-dependent. Our results suggest that sub-Chandrasekhar mass channels are a significant, perhaps even dominant, contribution to Type Ia supernovae in metal-poor systems, whilst more metal-rich systems could be explained by metallicity-dependent sub-Chandrasekhar mass yields, possibly with additional progenitor mass variation related to star formation history, or an increased contribution from Chandrasekhar mass channels at higher metallicity.

description: Here the authors provide a generalized Chudley-Elliott expression for activated atom surface diffusion which takes into account the coupling between both low-frequency vibrational motion (namely, the frustrated translational modes) and diffusion. This expression is derived within the Gaussian approximation framework for the intermediate scattering function at low coverage. Moreover, inelastic contributions (arising from creation and annihilation processes) to the full width at half maximum of the quasi-elastic peak are also obtained.

description: The Faulkes Telescope Project is the educational arm of the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT). It currently has two 2-metre robotic telescopes, located at Haleakala on Maui (FT North) and Siding Spring in Australia (FT South). It is planned to increase this to six 2-metre telescopes in the future, complemented by a network of 30-40 smaller (0.4-1 metre) telescopes providing 24 hour coverage of both northern and southern hemispheres. We are undertaking a study of 10 low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) using FT North to study the optical continuum behaviour of X-ray transients in quiescence. The introduction of FT South in September 2006 allows us to extend this monitoring to include 17 southern hemisphere LMXBs. With new instrumentation, we also intend to expand this monitoring to include both infrared wavelengths and spectroscopy.

The winding and momentum closed string quantum numbers map respectively to the integer and fractional winding quantum numbers of open strings ending on a D-brane array localized in the compactified directions. The closed string amplitudes factorize into products of open string scattering amplitudes with the open strings ending on a D-brane configuration determined by closed string data.

In these lecture notes, we introduce fundamental concepts of evolutionary game theory and review basic properties of deterministic replicator dynamics and stochastic dynamics of finite populations. We discuss stability of equilibria in deterministic dynamics with migration, time-delay, and in stochastic dynamics of well-mixed populations and spatial games with local interactions. We analyze the dependence of the long-run behaviour of a population on various parameters such as the time delay, the noise level, and the size of the population.

Publisher: name: University of Messina
Year: 2014

description: The SEIQoL-DW (Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life-Direct Weighting) method may be misused because of lack of confirmation by scientific theory. It is compared with the representative chaos equation.

Y (n + 1) = p [1 – Y (n)] Y (n)

The Z (m) axis is perpendicular to the "p" and Y (n) axes.

Z (m + 1) = p [1 – Z (m)] Z (m)

From both equations, a three dimensional logistic map is imagined.

[Y (n + 1) / Z (m + 1)] = [1 – Y (n)] Y (n) / [1 – Z (m)] Z (m)

According to "p" that changes from 3.0 to 4.0, the numbers of answers in this equation change to 1, 4, 16, localized chaotic state, and proliferated chaotic state.

 Cue (area), level and weight of the SEIQoL-DW are compared with each group in the localized chaotic state. The erased "p" is considered as a personal ability. Misuse can be avoided provided that the user understands the relation of chaos theory to the SEIQoL-DW.

description: The scope of the dissertation proposal is to examine factors such as Job Content, Payment, Deprivation that correlate to Job Satisfaction among Greek journalists. The key question/problem addressed by the dissertation is whether job satisfaction in journalism differs in accordance to a number of variables, such as, personal/demographical characteristics, job characteristics, journalists' perceptions of their role, and deprivation. For this reason, we conducted an online research in which 162 journalists took part. Results showed that both job characteristics and journalists' perceptions of their role strongly correlate with the journalists’ job satisfaction.
description: Το αντικείμενο της διατριβής είναι να εξετάσει παράγοντες όπως το περιεχόμενο της δημοσιογραφικής εργασίας, τις αποδοχές και την εργασιακή ανασφάλεια που σχετίζονται με την επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση των Ελλήνων δημοσιογράφων. Το βασικό ερώτημα / πρόβλημα που εξετάζει η διατριβή είναι κατά πόσο η επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση στη δημοσιογραφία διαφέρει ανάλογα με διάφορες μεταβλητές, όπως τα προσωπικά / δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά, τα χαρακτηριστικά της εργασίας, τις αντιλήψεις των δημοσιογράφων για το ρόλο τους και την επαγγελματική ανασφάλεια. Για το λόγο αυτό, πραγματοποιήσαμε μια διαδικτυακή έρευνα, στην οποία συμμετείχαν 162 δημοσιογράφοι. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι τόσο τα χαρακτηριστικά της δημοσιογραφικής εργασίας όσο και οι αντιλήψεις των δημοσιογράφων σχετικά με το ρόλο τους συσχετίζονται έντονα με την επαγγελματική ικανοποίηση των δημοσιογράφων

description: Με την παρούσα μελέτη επιχειρείται μια κατά το δυνατόν περιεκτικότερη παρουσίαση της σημασίας και της ουσίας του ζητήματος της ανάστασης των νεκρών. Η εργασία χωρίζεται σε τέσσερα βασικά κεφάλαια με τα υποκεφάλαιά τους. Το πρώτο κεφάλαιο αφορά την ανάσταση των νεκρών στο Ιουδαϊσμό. Θέμα του κεφαλαίου είναι το είδος της ανάστασης για το οποίο μιλούσαν οι προφήτες και οι συγγραφείς της Παλαίας Διαθήκης και πώς αναπτύχθηκε η ιδέα της ανάστασης στον Ιουδαϊσμό. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο γίνεται μια ανάλυση των στοιχείων περί της ανάστασης των νεκρών στο αρχαίο κόσμο, πιο συγκεκριμένα στην Ελλάδα και στην Ρώμη. Παρουσιάζονται οι αντιλήψεις του αρχαίου εθνικού κόσμου σχετικά με τη μετά θάνατον ύπαρξη και την ανάσταση. Πυρήνας της εργασίας είναι το τρίτο κεφάλαιο, όπου γίνεται η εξήγηση του 15ου κεφαλαίου της επιστολής. Εξετάζονται οι διαφορετικές ερμηνείες που προτάθηκαν από διάφορους ερμηνευτές, δίνονται στοιχεία για την ιστορία του κειμένου και αναλύεται η θεολογική σκέψη του αποστόλου. Τo τέταρτο κεφάλαιο εστιάζει στην θεολογική σκέψη του Παύλου όσον αφορά την ανάσταση των νεκρών. Εδώ παρουσιάζονται επίσης οι ερμηνευτικές θέσεις των Πατέρων της Εκκλησίας καθώς και ορισμένες σκέψεις των σύγχρονων θεολόγων, έτσι ώστε να έχουμε μια σαφή εικόνα, με ποιο τρόπο πρέπει να γίνει κατανοητή η θεολογία του Αποστόλου για το ζήτημα της ανάστασης των νεκρών.
description: This study attempts to present as much as possible the significance and essence of the question of the resurrection of the dead.The thesis is divided into four main chapters with their subchapters.The first chapter concerns the resurrection of the dead in Judaism. The subject of the chapter is the kind of resurrection the prophets and writers of the Old Testament spoke of, and how the idea of resurrection in Judaism developed. In the second chapter is an analysis of the evidence of the resurrection of the dead in the ancient world, more specifically in Greece and Rome. The perceptions of the ancient national world about post-mortem existence and resurrection are presented. The core of the work is the third chapter, which explains the 15th chapter of the letter. Different interpretations proposed by various performers are examined, data on the history of the text is given and the theologian's thought is analyzed. The fourth chapter focuses on Paul's theological thought regarding the resurrection of the dead. Here also the interpretative positions of the Fathers of the Church as well as some thoughts of modern theologians are presented so that we have a clear picture of how to understand the theology of the Apostle on the question of the resurrection of the dead.

The so-called generalized multipartite concurrences can qualify as legitimate entanglement measures if they are monotonous under LOCC. In the paper we give a necessary and sufficient criterion for their monotonicity.

description: A typical serial production line environment includes materials, workstations and storage locations (buffers). Every material or component flows from workstation to buffer to workstation and they visit each station and storage location exactly once in a fixed sequence. The main problem of every serial production line’s designer is how to allocate efficiently the number of servers at each workstation, the workload and the buffer spaces between workstations. This master thesis focuses on the optimization of serial production lines. The objective of the survey is to optimize three combinatorial allocation problems (Server and Buffer allocation problem, Buffer and Workload problem and Server and Workload allocation problem) for similar data by applying the software prodline.exe, developed by Spinellis Diomidis. The evaluation method that is selected to calculate the performance measures of the systems is parallel decomposition and the optimization methods that are utilized to find the optimal solutions of the parameters are both genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA).
description: Μια σειριακή γραμμή παραγωγής αποτελείται από προϊόντα, σταθμούς εργασίας (workstations) και ενδιάμεσους αποθηκευτικούς χώρους (buffers). Η διαδικασία που ακολουθείται είναι η εξής: κάθε προϊόν παραλαμβάνεται για επεξεργασία από σταθμό παραγωγής από τον αμέσως προηγούμενο αποθηκευτικό χώρο και μετά αποθηκεύεται στον αμέσως επόμενο σταθμό παραγωγής. Σε μια σειριακή γραμμή παραγωγής είναι απαραίτητο να αποφασιστεί με ποιον τρόπο θα κατανεμηθούν οι μηχανές σε κάθε σταθμό εργασίας, ο χρόνος παραγωγής και οι αποθηκευτικές μονάδες. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία επικεντρώνεται στη βελτιστοποίηση σειριακών γραμμών παραγωγής. Σκοπός της έρευνας είναι να βελτιστοποιηθούν τρία συνδυαστικά προβλήματα κατανομής (ταυτόχρονη κατανομή μηχανών και αποθηκευτικών μονάδων, ταυτόχρονη κατανομή χρόνου παραγωγής και αποθηκευτικών μονάδων και ταυτόχρονη κατανομή μηχανών και χρόνου παραγωγής) για όμοια δεδομένα εφαρμόζοντας το λογισμικό prodline.exe. Η εκτιμητική μέθοδος που χρησιμοποιήθηκε για τον υπολογισμό των μετρήσεων απόδοσης των συστημάτων ήταν ο αλγόριθμος Parallel Decomposition και οι μέθοδοι βελτιστοποίησης που χρησιμοποιηθήκαν για να βρεθούν οι βέλτιστες λύσεις των παραμέτρων είναι ο αλγόριθμος Genetic Algorithm (GA) και ο αλγόριθμος Simulated Annealing (SA).

description: The recently revised cosmological constraints from the Five-Year WMAP data ameliorate previous tension between cosmological constraints from the microwave background and from cluster abundances. We demonstrate that the revised estimates of cosmological parameters are in excellent agreement with the mass function of X-ray clusters in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Velocity segregation between galaxies and the underlying dark matter could cause virial mass estimates to be biased, causing the mass scale of the mass function to be offset from the true value. Modest velocity segregation ($σ_{gxy}/σ_{DM}$=1.13$^{+0.06}_{-0.05}$) is sufficient to match the mass function to the Five-Year WMAP results. When the new WMAP results are combined with constraints from supernovae and baryon acoustic oscillations, there is no need for velocity segregation ($σ_{gxy}/σ_{DM}$=1.05$\pm$0.05). This result agrees with expectations for velocity segregation from state-of-the-art numerical simulations of clusters. Together with the improved agreement between the new WMAP results and recent cosmic shear measurements, this result demonstrates that the amplitude of large-scale structure in the nearby universe matches that predicted from the structure seen in the microwave background. The new constraint we place on velocity segregation in clusters indicates that virial mass estimates for clusters are reasonably accurate. This result suggests that future cluster surveys will be able to probe both cosmological parameters and fundamental cluster physics.

Quality of life and uncertainty in illness for chronic patients

description: The experience of chronic illness, together with physical impairment and hospitalization in some cases, can be a difficult occurrence to manage. Illness determines changes in patients’ life style and limitations, that often cause psychological distress. It may happen that patients neither understand the meaning of the events correlated with illness, nor can predict when such events will occur. This uncertainty augments the negative impact of the state of chronic illness on patients’ quality of life.


The present study has the purpose to examine the correlations between uncertainty due to  chronic disease and patients’ quality of life, keeping into account the diverse coping strategies adopted and the anxiety/depression feelings developed during hospitalization.


There is an inverse correlation between chronic patients’ quality of life and the diverse dimensions of uncertainty in illness as identified by the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale. The paper suggests how uncertainty hampers the possibility that patients choose coping strategies, involving their active management of illness. The lower the uncertainty, the higher is the possibility of activate coping mechanisms based on the acceptance of illness, together with a reflexive attitude concerning the actions to be taken to reduce the risk of anxiety/depression during hospitalization.


Finally, the present study presents some policy implications, suggesting how the medical staff should not only treat patients, but also help patients to elaborate problem solving strategies and to positively accept their chronic health state.

Energy and mean-payoff parity Markov decision processes

Subjects: 000 Computer science, knowledge general works

description: We consider Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) with mean-payoff parity and energy parity objectives. In system design, the parity objective is used to encode ω-regular specifications, and the mean-payoff and energy objectives can be used to model quantitative resource constraints. The energy condition re- quires that the resource level never drops below 0, and the mean-payoff condi- tion requires that the limit-average value of the resource consumption is within a threshold. While these two (energy and mean-payoff) classical conditions are equivalent for two-player games, we show that they differ for MDPs. We show that the problem of deciding whether a state is almost-sure winning (i.e., winning with probability 1) in energy parity MDPs is in NP ∩ coNP, while for mean- payoff parity MDPs, the problem is solvable in polynomial time, improving a recent PSPACE bound.
Solution to the Mean King's problem with mutually unbiased bases for arbitrary levels

description: The Mean King's problem with mutually unbiased bases is reconsidered for arbitrary d-level systems. Hayashi, Horibe and Hashimoto [Phys. Rev. A 71, 052331 (2005)] related the problem to the existence of a maximal set of d-1 mutually orthogonal Latin squares, in their restricted setting that allows only measurements of projection-valued measures. However, we then cannot find a solution to the problem when e.g., d=6 or d=10. In contrast to their result, we show that the King's problem always has a solution for arbitrary levels if we also allow positive operator-valued measures. In constructing the solution, we use orthogonal arrays in combinatorial design theory.

Simulated three-component granular segregation in a rotating drum

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Discrete particle simulations are used to model segregation in granular mixtures of three different particle species in a horizontal rotating drum. Axial band formation is observed, with medium-size particles tending to be located between alternating bands of big and small particles. Partial radial segregation also appears; it precedes the axial segregation and is characterized by an inner core region richer in small particles. Axial bands are seen to merge during the long simulation runs, leading to a coarsening of the band pattern; the relocation of particles involved in one such merging event is examined. Overall, the behavior is similar to experiment and represents a generalization of what occurs in the simpler two-component mixture.

description: We present an exploratory tool that extracts person names from multilingual news collections, matches name variants referring to the same person, and infers relationships between people based on the co-occurrence of their names in related news. A novel feature is the matching of name variants across languages and writing systems, including names written with the Greek, Cyrillic and Arabic writing system. Due to our highly multilingual setting, we use an internal standard representation for name representation and matching, instead of adopting the traditional bilingual approach to transliteration. This work is part of the news analysis system NewsExplorer that clusters an average of 25,000 news articles per day to detect related news within the same and across different languages.
