description: A surrounding electromagnetic environment can engineer spontaneous emissions from quantum emitters through the Purcell effect. For instance, a plasmonic antenna can efficiently confine an electromagnetic field and enhance the fluorescent process. In this study, we demonstrate that a photonic microcavity can modulate plasmon-enhanced fluorescence by engineering the local electromagnetic environment. Consequently, we constructed a plasmon-enhanced emitter (PE-emitter), which comprised a nanorod and a nanodiamond, using the nanomanipulation technique. Furthermore, we controlled a polystyrene sphere approaching the PE-emitter and investigated in situ the associated fluorescent spectrum and lifetime. The emission of PE-emitter can be enhanced resonantly at the photonic modes as compared to that within the free spectral range. The spectral shape modulated by photonic modes is independent of the separation between the PS sphere and PE-emitter. The band integral of the fluorescence decay rate can be enhanced or suppressed after the PS sphere couples to the PE-emitters, depending on the coupling strength between the plasmonic antenna and the photonic cavity. These findings can be utilized in sensing and imaging applications.

description: Substantial collective flow is observed in collisions between large nuclei at RHIC (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) as evidenced by single-particle transverse momentum distributions and by azimuthal correlations among the produced particles. The data are well-reproduced by perfect fluid dynamics. A calculation of the dimensionless ratio of shear viscosity $η$ to entropy density $s$ by Kovtun, Son and Starinets within anti-de Sitter space/conformal field theory yields $η/s = \hbar/4πk_B$ which has been conjectured to be a lower bound for any physical system. Motivated by these results, we show that the transition from hadrons to quarks and gluons has behavior similar to helium, nitrogen, and water at and near their phase transitions in the ratio $η/s$. We suggest that experimental measurements can pinpoint the location of this transition or rapid crossover in QCD.

Στον εκπαιδευτικό χώρο, η προώθηση της ένταξης μέσω συνεκπαίδευσης των τυπικά αναπτυσσόμενων και μη μαθητών στο γενικό σχολικό περιβάλλον αποτελεί μια σύγχρονη κίνηση που υποστηρίζει τη διαφορετικότητα μεταξύ των εκπαιδευομένων.

description: Inclusion teaches people without any deficiency that those who have deficiencies, should not be marginalized, having the mark of their deficiency, as also people with deficiencies that they are part of community, where they have equal rights in education and life. In education area, the promotion of inclusion through inclusive education of typical and non- typical developed students in general school environment, is an innovative movement that supports diversity among students. The present thesis is a study of general and special education teachers' views on how inclusive programs like Inclusive Education class and Shadow Teaching in general class works in Greek general school and more specifically in Greek elementary school. The main research questions focus on whether these programs benefit or marginalize and stigmatize typical developed students in general school. The results of the study showed that general and special education teachers believe that students with special educational needs who follow the existing inclusive programs in Greek primary school, are benefited both in learning and social contact, but stigma of their diversity does not cease to exist and leads them to marginalization

description: For the certification and benchmarking of medium-size quantum devices efficient methods to characterize entanglement are needed. In this context, it has been shown that locally randomized measurements on a multiparticle quantum system can be used to obtain valuable information on the so-called moments of the partially transposed quantum state. This allows one to infer some separability properties of a state, but how to use the given information in an optimal and systematic manner has yet to be determined. We propose two general entanglement detection methods based on the moments of the partially transposed density matrix. The first method is based on the Hankel matrices and provides a family of entanglement criteria, of which the lowest order reduces to the known $p_3$-PPT criterion proposed in A. Elben et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 200501 (2020)]. The second method is optimal and gives necessary and sufficient conditions for entanglement based on some moments of the partially transposed density matrix.

description: A general method is presented for deriving the limiting behavior of estimators that are defined as the values of parameters optimizing an empirical criterion function. The asymptotic behavior of such estimators is typically deduced from uniform limit theorems for rescaled and reparametrized criterion functions. The new method can handle cases where the standard approach does not yield the complete limiting behavior of the estimator. The asymptotic analysis depends on a decomposition of criterion functions into sums of components with different rescalings. The method is explained by examples from Lasso-type estimation, $k$-means clustering, Shorth estimation and partial linear models.

description: Ο Σακχαρώδης Διαβήτης της Κύησης (ΣΔΚ) αποτελεί μια σχετικά συχνή διαταραχή κατά τη διάρκεια της κύησης με άριστη έκβαση υπό την προϋπόθεση της έγκαιρης διάγνωσης και αντιμετώπισης. Μέχρι στιγμής έχουν προταθεί από εθνικούς και παγκόσμιους οργανισμούς διαγνωστικά κριτήρια που να απλοποιούν αλλά ταυτόχρονα και να αυξάνουν τη διαγνωστική ακρίβεια αυτών. Το μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό γυναικών που θα διαγνωστούν με ΣΔΚ θα διατηρήσει ευχερώς το γλυκαιμικό έλεγχο μόνο με παρεμβάσεις άσκησης και διατροφής, ενώ μέρος αυτών θα χρειαστεί συμπληρωματική φαρμακευτική αγωγή με ινσουλινοθεραπεία ή αντιδιαβητικά δισκία. Στην παρούσα παρεμβατική πιλοτική μελέτη γυναίκες (n=43) με διαγνωσμένο ΣΔΚ υποβλήθηκαν σε τρία προγράμματα άσκησης (συμβουλευτική για συνήθη σωματική δραστηριότητα, περπάτημα με βηματομετρητή, πρόγραμμα εξειδικευμένης άσκησης) και δύο δίαιτες (η συνιστώμενη από την Αμερικάνικη Διαβητολογική Εταιρία και μια μειωμένη κατά 200 θερμίδες). Οι γυναίκες που ακολούθησαν το πρόγραμμα της οργανωμένης άσκησης και του ολιγοθερμιδικού διαιτολογίου εμφάνισαν λιγότερη αύξηση στο βάρος τους στο τέλος της κύησης, μεγαλύτερη ανοχή στην κόπωση, βελτίωσης του μεταβολικού τους προφίλ κυρίως μέσω της αύξησης της ενεργειακής δαπάνης ηρεμίας καθώς και χαμηλά σκορ στη μέτρηση του άγχους και της κατάθλιψης
description: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a relatively common disorder during pregnancy with an excellent outcome under the premise of early diagnosis and treatment. So far, diagnostic criteria have been proposed by national and global organizations to simplify the diagnostic process and increase accuracy simultaneously. The majority of women with GDM will easily maintain euglycemic profile only with exercise and nutrition interventions, while part of these will require supplemental medication with insulin therapy or/and antidiabetic drugs. In this interventional pilot study, women (n = 43) with GDM underwent three exercise programs (counseling for normal physical activity, walking with a pacemaker, a specialized exercise program) and two diets (the recommended from American Diabetes Association and a 200 calorie reduced). Women who followed the program of organized exercise and diet with calories reduced showed less increase in weight at the end of pregnancy, greater fatigue tolerance, improvement in their metabolic profile mainly through increased energy expenditure as well as low scores in stress measurement and depression

South-eastern Europe

description: Russian propaganda and disinformation have been very pressing issues throughout Europe in recent years. As Bechev (2017, p. 1 – 23) says, Southeastern Europe in particular has been the target of Russian information campaigns ever since the war in Eastern Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea. Southeastern Europe has been traditionally an important area in the strategic planning of the Kremlin. This research has shown that Southeastern Europe has been filled with both “troll factories” and pro – Kremlin domestic media outlets. Similarly, pro – Russian domestic media have infiltrated the media markets in Southeast European countries. Pro – Russian media in Southeastern Europe reproduces strong anti – West narratives which undermine the prestige and the interests of the West in the region. Western leaders are mocked and Western values are presented in a rather derogatory way. Conversely, pro – Russian media maintains a strong pro – Kremlin attitude by perpetuating stories about the cultural, religious, economic bonds between Southeast European nations and Russia. Common narratives also include the face of Vladimir Putin and the superiority of Russian military. Despite the above situation, the impact and the extent of pro – Kremlin propaganda and disinformation in Southeastern Europe has not been adequately studied. This situation underlines the necessity for more research into the field.

Όπως λέει ο Μπέτσεβ (2017,σελ. 1-23), η Νοτιοανατολική Ευρώπη έχει υπάρξει ο στόχος των ρωσικών πληροφοριακών εκστρατειών από την αρχή του πολέμου στην Ανατολική Ουκρανία και την προσάρτηση της Κριμαίας. Η Νοτιοανατολική Ευρώπη είναι μία σημαντική περιοχή στον στρατηγικό σχεδιασμό του Κρεμλίνου. Αυτή η έρευνα έχει δείξει ότι αυτή η περιοχή είναι γεμάτη από «troll factories» και ΜΜΕ που υποστηρίζουν φανερά την Ρωσία. Παρόμοια, ρωσικά ΜΜΕ έχουν διεισδύσει στις μιντιακές αγορές των Βαλκανίων. Αυτά τα ΜΜΕ αναπαράγουν αντιδυτικά αφηγήματα που υποβαθμίζουν το κύρος και τα συμφέροντα των δυτικών κρατών στην περιοχή. Δυτικοί ηγέτες υποβαθμίζονται και οι δυτικές αξίες παρουσιάζονται με έναν υποτιμιτικό τρόπο. Αντίθετα, τα ρωσικά ΜΜΕ διατηρούν μία στάση υπέρ της Ρωσίας με το αναπαράγουν ιστορίες για τους πολιτισμικούς, θρησκευτικούς και οικονομικούς δεσμούς των Βαλκανίων με την Ρωσία. Συχνά παραδείγματα αφηγήσεων είναι η ζωή του Βλαντιμιρ Πούτιν και η υπεροχή των ρωσικών όπλων. Παρά την παραπάνω κατάσταση, ο αντίκτυπος και το εύρος της ρωσικής προπαγάνδας και παραπληροφόρησης στα Βαλκάνια δεν έχει μελετηθεί επαρκώς. Αυτή η κατάσταση καθιστά επιτακτική την ανάγκη για μεγαλύτερη έρευνα πάνω σε αυτό το θέμα.
Orientation-based representations of shape and attitude determination
Creators: name: Li, Ying
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The three rotational degrees of freedom between the coordinate system of a sensed object and that of a viewer define the attitude of the object. Orientation-based representations record 3-D surface properties as a function of position on the unit sphere. All orientation-based representations considered share a desirable property: the representation of a rotated object is equal to the rotated representation of the object before rotation. This makes the orientation-based representations well-suited to the task of attitude determination. The mathematical background for orientation-based representations of shape is presented in a consistent framework. Among the orientation-based representations considered, the support function is one-to-one for convex bodies, the curvature functions are one-to-one for convex bodies up to a translation and the radial function is one-to-one for starshaped sets. Using combinations of the support function and the curvature functions for convex bodies, the problem of attitude determination is transformed into an optimization problem. Previous mathematical results on the radial function for convex objects are extended to starshaped objects and the problem of attitude determination by the radial function also is transformed into an optimization problem. Solutions to the optimization problems exist and can be effectively computed using standard numerical methods. A proof-of-concept system has been implemented and experiments conducted both on synthesized data and on real objects using surface data derived from photometric stereo. Experimental results verify the theoretical solutions. Novel contributions of the thesis include: the representation of smooth convex objects by the support function and curvature functions; the definition of a new orientation-based representation for starshaped sets using the 3-D radial function; and solutions to the 3-Dattitude determination problem using the aforementioned representations. In particular, the scope of orientation-based representations has been extended, both in theory and in practice, from convexity to starshapedness.

The correlated beams are created with two independent continuous-wave optical parametric oscillators and a half beam splitter. We define temporal modes using a square temporal filter with duration $T$ and make time-resolved measurement on the generated state. We observe the correlations between the relevant conjugate variables in time domain which correspond to the EPR correlation. Our scheme is extendable to continuous variable quantum teleportation of a non-Gaussian state defined in the time domain such as a Schrödinger cat-like state.

description: We study the resources needed to construct topological 2D stabilizer codes as a way to estimate in part their efficiency and this leads us to perform a comparative study of surface codes and color codes. This study clarifies the similarities and differences between these two types of stabilizer codes. We compute the error correcting rate $C:=n/d^2$ for surface codes $C_s$ and color codes $C_c$ in several instances. On the torus, typical values are $C_s=2$ and $C_c=3/2$, but we find that the optimal values are $C_s=1$ and $C_c=9/8$. For planar codes, a typical value is $C_s=2$, while we find that the optimal values are $C_s=1$ and $C_c=3/4$. In general, a color code encodes twice as much logical qubits as a surface code does.

description: We present results from a near-infrared spectroscopic study of candidate brown dwarfs and low mass stars in the young cluster NGC 2024. Using FLAMINGOS on the KPNO 2.1m and 4m telescopes, we have obtained spectra of ~70 new members of the cluster and classified them via the prominent J and H band water absorption features. Derived spectral types range from ~M1 to later than M8 with typical classification errors of 0.5-1 subclasses. By combining these spectral types with JHK photometry, we place these objects on the H-R diagram and use pre-main sequence evolutionary models to infer masses and ages. The mean age for this low mass population of NGC 2024 is 0.5 Myr and derived masses range from ~0.7-0.02 solar masses with 23 objects falling below the hydrogen-burning limit. The logarithmic mass function rises to a peak at ~0.2 solar masses before turning over and declining into the substellar regime. There is a possible secondary peak at ~0.035 solar masses however the errors are also consistent with a flat IMF in this region. The ratio of brown dwarfs to stars is similar to that found in the Trapezium but roughly twice the ratio found in IC 348, leading us to conclude that the substellar IMF in young clusters may be dependent on the local star forming environment.

description: In quantum Hall systems with two narrow constrictions, tunneling between opposite edges can give rise to quantum interference and Aharonov-Bohm-like oscillations of the conductance. When there is an integer quantized Hall state within the constrictions, a region between them, with higher electron density, may form a compressible island. Electron-tunneling through this island can lead to residual transport, modulated by Coulomb-blockade type effects. We find that the coupling between the fully occupied lower Landau levels and the higher-partially occupied level gives rise to flux subperiods smaller than one flux quantum. We generalize this scenario to other geometries and to fractional quantum Hall systems, and compare our predictions to experiments.

description: We investigate the PT-symmetry of the quantum group invariant XXZ chain. We show that the PT-operator commutes with the quantum group action and also discuss the transformation properties of the Bethe wavefunction. We exploit the fact that the Hamiltonian is an element of the Temperley-Lieb algebra in order to give an explicit and exact construction of an operator that ensures quasi-Hermiticity of the model. This construction relys on earlier ideas related to quantum group reduction. We then employ this result in connection with the quantum analogue of Schur-Weyl duality to introduce a dual pair of C-operators, both of which have closed algebraic expressions. These are novel, exact results connecting the research areas of integrable lattice systems and non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.

description: Many states of linear real scalar quantum fields (in particular Reeh-Schlieder states) on flat as well as curved spacetime are entangled on spacelike separated local algebras of observables. It has been argued that this entanglement can be "harvested" by a pair of so-called particle detectors, for example singularly or non-locally coupled quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator Unruh detectors. In an attempt to avoid such imperfect coupling, we analyse a model-independent local and covariant entanglement harvesting protocol based on the local probes of a recently proposed measurement theory of quantum fields. We then introduce the notion of a local particle detector concretely given by a local mode of a linear real scalar probe field on possibly curved spacetime and possibly under the influence of external fields. In a non-perturbative analysis we find that local particle detectors cannot harvest entanglement below a critical coupling strength when the corresponding probe fields are initially prepared in quasi-free Reeh-Schlieder states and are coupled to a system field prepared in a quasi-free state. This is a consequence of the fact that Reeh-Schlieder states restrict to truly mixed states on any local mode.

description: This paper discusses the practical development of space-time boundary element methods for the wave equation in three spatial dimensions. The employed trial spaces stem from simplex meshes of the lateral boundary of the space-time cylinder. This approach conforms genuinely to the distinguished structure of the solution operators of the wave equation, so-called retarded potentials. Since the numerical evaluation of the arising integrals is intricate, the bulk of this work is constituted by ideas about quadrature techniques for retarded layer potentials and associated energetic bilinear forms. Finally, we glimpse at algorithmic aspects regarding the efficient implementation of retarded potentials in the space-time setting. The proposed methods are verified by means of numerical experiments, which illustrate their capacity.

description: We propose a new technique for the detection of single atoms in ultracold quantum gases. The technique is based on scanning electron microscopy and employs the electron impact ionization of trapped atoms with a focussed electron probe. Subsequent detection of the resulting ions allows for the reconstruction of the atoms position. This technique is expected to achieve a much better spatial resolution compared to any optical detection method. In combination with the sensitivity to single atoms, it makes new in situ measurements of atomic correlations possible. The detection principle is also well suited for the addressing of individual sites in optical lattices.

An Object-oriented design for hierarchical B-spline surfaces
Creators: name: Yan, Hailin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis documents an object-oriented software system that supports free-form surface modelling based on the hierarchical overlay methodology of [Forsey88]. This work is motivated by the need to provide a space-efficient representation of tensor-product hierarchical spline surfaces, multiple offset method support, and general surface representation. This design uses a spatial data structure, the quadtree, to achieve this goal. The quadtree, itself a hierarchical data structure, is very suitable in this application because of its ability to focus on the interesting subsets of the data. This focusing results in an efficient representation. The quadtree is also attractive because of its conceptual clarity and ease of maintenance. The package is implemented in C++ to provide: a) extensibility so that the new tools can be easily integrated into the existing package; b) reusability of code; and c)localization of code. Finally, this object-oriented hierarchical design keeps all of the original features of the hierarchical overlay method of [Forsey90].

description: In the description of the interaction between electrons beyond the classical Hartree picture, bare exchange often yields a leading contribution. Here we discuss its effect on optical spectra of solids, comparing three different frameworks: time-dependent Hartree-Fock, a recently introduced combined density-functional and Green's functions approach applied to the bare exchange self-energy, and time-dependent exact-exchange within time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-EXX). We show that these three approximations give rise to identical excitonic effects in solids; these effects are drastically overestimated for semiconductors. They are partially compensated by the usual overestimation of the quasiparticle band gap within Hartree-Fock. The physics that lacks in these approaches can be formulated as screening. We show that the introduction of screening in TD-EXX indeed leads to a formulation that is equivalent to previously proposed functionals derived from Many-Body Perturbation Theory. It can be simulated by reducing the long-range part of the Coulomb interaction: this produces absorption spectra of semiconductors in good agreement with experiment.

title: Hospital-acquired infections in two district hospitals in Kenya

description: Introduction: Little is known about hospital-acquired infections (HAI) in developing countries although surgical site infections (SSI) are thought to be a particular problem. The aim of the work in this thesis was to describe three different forms of HAI (SSI, hospital-acquired bacteraemia in children, transmission of MRSA in hospital inpatients) in hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa and to make changes, where possible, to prevent their occurrence. Methods: A literature review on the subject of SSI in sub-Saharan Africa was conducted as part of the preliminary investigation. To study the occurrence of SSI in Thika Hospital in Kenya, SSI surveillance was established at this site and we subsequently implemented a change in the use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis at this hospital. The occurrence of MRSA amongst inpatients in Thika Hospital was measured in a cross-sectional study and the occurrence of hospital-acquired bacteraemia in children in Kilifi Hospital, Kenya was measured using surveillance data from 2002-2009. Results: The epidemiological characteristics of the SSI surveillance programme in Thika Hospital were examined including: the consistency of parameter scoring by surgeons and anaesthetists; the sensitivity and specificity of telephone-based post-discharge surveillance; the performance of risk indicators in predicting SSI after major Obstetric+Gynaecological surgery. The process, outcome and balancing effects of changing the use of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis at Thika Hospital were evaluated, showing that there was rapid and sustained uptake of pre-operative antibiotic prophylaxis use and a more gradual reduction in use of post-operative antibiotics. There was evidence of a modest reduction in the risk of superficial SSI, and an overall reduction in the use of antibiotics, with accompanying cost and time savings. The risk, rate, aetiology and morbidity and mortality impacts associated with paediatric hospital- acquired bacteraemia in Kilifi Hospital were examined. In a subsequently published correspondence questions regarding Coagulase-negative staphylococci, premature infants and competing risks were addressed. MRSA carriage rate amongst inpatients in Thika Hospital was estimated. This organism was relatively rare, and carriage was largely confined to patients with bums. All MRSA isolates obtained were in the ST239-t037 clone, suggesting within-hospital transmission. Conclusion: The work of this thesis suggests that the problem of hospital-acquired infections in sub- Saharan Africa is substantial, although there are some simple and achievable steps that can be taken to reduce their occurrence.

description: We derive mean-field equations for a general class of ferromagnetic spin systems with an explicit error bound in finite volumes. The proof is based on a link between the mean-field equation and the free convolution formalism of random matrix theory, which we exploit in terms of a dynamical method. We present three sample applications of our results to Kać interactions, randomly diluted models, and models with an asymptotically vanishing external field.

description: The redshift distribution of the short-duration GRBs is a crucial, but currently fragmentary, clue to the nature of their progenitors. Here we present optical observations of nine short GRBs obtained with Gemini, Magellan, and the Hubble Space Telescope. We detect the afterglows and host galaxies of two short bursts, and host galaxies for two additional bursts with known optical afterglow positions, and five with X-ray positions (<6'' radius). In eight of the nine cases we find that the most probable host galaxies are faint, R~23-26.5 mag, and are therefore starkly different from the first few short GRB hosts with R~17-22 mag and z<0.5. Indeed, we measure spectroscopic redshifts of z~0.4-1.1 for the four brightest hosts. A comparison to large field galaxy samples, as well as the hosts of long GRBs and previous short GRBs, indicates that the fainter hosts likely reside at z>1. Our most conservative limit is that at least half of the five hosts without a known redshift reside at z>0.7 (97% confidence level), suggesting that about 1/3-2/3 of all short GRBs originate at higher redshifts than previously determined. This has two important implications: (i) We constrain the acceptable age distributions to a wide lognormal (sigma>1) with tau~4-8 Gyr, or to a power law, P(tau)~tau^n, with -1

description: We propose a novel class of responsive polymer brushes, where the effective grafting density can be controlled by external stimuli. This is achieved by using end-grafted polymer chains that have an affinity to the substrate. For sufficiently strong surface interactions, a fraction of chains condenses into a near-surface layer, while the remaining ones form the outer brush. The dense layer and the more tenuous outer brush can be seen as coexisting microphases. The effective grafting density of the outer brush is controlled by the adsorption strength and can be changed reversibly and in a controlled way as a response to changes in environmental parameters. The effect is demonstrated by numerical SCF calculations and analyzed by scaling arguments. Since the thickness of the denser layer is about a few monomer sizes, its capacity to form a microphase is limited by the product of the brush chain length and the grafting density. We explore the range of chain lengths and grafting densities where the effect is most pronounced. In this range, the SCF studies suggest that individual chains inside the brush show large rapid fluctuations between two states that are separated by only a small free energy barrier. The behavior of the brush as a whole, however, does not reflect these large fluctuations, and the effective grafting density varies smoothly as a function of the control parameters.
