description: Στόχος της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η ανάλυση κάποιων επιτευγμάτων της κλασικής θεωρίας προσέγγισης ολόμορφων συναρτήσεων. Τα πρώτα θεωρήματα σε αυτήν την κατεύθυνση όπου και αναφέρονται στην εργασία είναι τα Θεωρήματα C.Runge και K.Weierstrass. Το πρώτο έχει να κάνει με την ομοιόμορφη πολυωνυμική ή ρητή προσέγγιση σε συμπαγή υποσύνολα του μιγαδικού επιπέδου, μιγαδικών συναρτήσεων οι οποίες είναι ολόμορφες σε ανοιχτή περιοχή του συμπαγούς και το δεύτερο με την ομοιόμορφη πολυωνυμική προσέγγιση συνεχών συναρτήσεων σε κλειστά διαστήματα της πραγματικής ευθείας. Τίθεται λοιπόν το ερώτημα και αναπτύσσεται διεξοδικά αν υπάρχει πολυωνυμική ή ρητή ομοιόμορφη προσέγγιση συναρτήσεων οι οποίες είναι συνεχείς στο συμπαγές και ολόμορφες στο εσωτερικό, όχι απαραίτητα σε ανοιχτή περιοχή του συμπαγούς. Ανάλογα με τις τοπολογικές ιδιότητες που έχει ένα συμπαγές υπάρχουν και τα αντίστοιχα θεωρήματα προσέγγισης καθώς και αντιπαραδείγματα. Πιο συγκεκριμένα αναλύονται τα Θεωρήματα Mergelyan, Bishop-Mergelyan, Garnett, Ηartogs-Rosenthal καθώς και ένα αντιπαράδειγμα με χρήση συμπαγούς συνόλου τύπου Swiss Cheese. Στην συνέχεια αποδεικνύεται το θεώρημα Arakelyan το οποίο έχει να κάνει με την ομοιόμορφη προσέγγιση ολόμορφων συναρτήσεων σε κλειστά πιθανώς μη φραγμένα υποσύνολα του μιγαδικού επιπέδου. Η προσέγγιση σε αυτήν την περίπτωση γίνεται από ακέραιες συναρτήσεις και όπως και στα προηγούμενα θεωρήματα έτσι κι εδώ το κλειστό σύνολο πρέπει να ικανοποιεί κάποιες τοπολογικές ιδιότητες. Τέλος, αναπτύσσεται αναλυτικά η πολυωνυμική προσέγγιση στον γραμμικό χώρο των τετραγωνικά ολοκληρώσημων συναρτήσεων σε τόπους Καραθεοδωρή
description: The aim of the present master thesis is to analyse certain results of the theory of complex approximation . The first relevant theorems analyzed in the study are C.Runge and K. Weierstrass theorems. According to C. Runge theorem, everyholomorphic function in a neighborhood of a compact set can be uniformly approximated by rational functions or by polynomials if the completeness of the compact set is connected. The question raised is whether it is true in the case of the functions which are holomorphic on the interior of the compact set and continuous on the compact set. Depending of the topological conditions of the compact set, we get the corresponding theorems as well as counter examples. Mergelyan, Bishop-Mergelyan, Garnett and Hartogs-Rosenthal theorems are analyzed in detail, as well as a counter example using a compact set of Swiss Cheese type. In the case of the closed, possibly unbounded, subsets of the complex plane, we define Arakelyan sets. These sets are appropriate to uniformly approximate holomorphic functions by holomorphic functions. Finally, the study analyses the polynomial approximation in the mean on Caratheodory Domains

Modified Theories of Gravity
Inflationary Scenario
Dark Energy

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to present the most typical modified theories of gravity and discuss their validity and viability in constructing a cosmological model. Current issues in cosmology, related to the Standard Cosmological model, i.e. the ``Big Bang model'' and the Λ-CDM FLRW model, and including the inflationary scenario, the post-inflation reheating and the late-time accelerating expansion leading to ``dark energy'', are considered obstacles for the traditional theory of gravity, i.e. General Theory of Relativity, since they can be explained only by means of exogenous fields a posteriori introduced. The goal of many modified theories of gravity is to extend General Relativity in such a way that quantum or sting-theory corrections ate taken into account, but also in order for many such cosmological -or astrophysical- problems to be resolved endogenously, without any additional hypotheses. We shall briefly mention the key modified theories of gravity, namely the f(R) theory, the Gauss-Bonnet theory and the “mimetic” Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory; then, we will proceed by testing their viability in specific cosmological problems, such as the early-time and late-time dynamics

Τα τρέχοντα ζητήματα στην κοσμολογία, που σχετίζονται με το Καθιερωμένο Κοσμολογικό Πρότυπο, δηλαδή με τη θεωρία της ``Μεγάλης Έκρηξης'' και το υπόδειγμα Λ-CDM FLRW, περιλαμβάνοντας το πληθωριστικό σενάριο, την μετα-πληθωριστική αναθέρμασνη και την πρόσφατη επιταχυνόμενη διαστολή που οδηγεί στη ``σκοτεινή ενέργεια'', θεωρούνται εμπόδια στην παραδοσιακή θεωρία βαρύτητας, δηλαδή στη Γενική Θεωρία Σχετικότητας, καθώς μπορούν να εξηγηθούν μόνο με την εκ των υστέρων εισαγωγή εξωγενών πεδίων. Στόχος των εναλλακτικών θεωριών βαρύτητας είναι να επεκτείνουν τη Γενική Σχετικότητα με τέτοιο τρόπο που να λαμβάνονται υπόψιν κβαντικές ή σχετικές με τη θεωρία χορδών διορθώσει, αλλά επίσης να επιλύονται πολλά αντίστοιχα κοσμολογικά -ή αστροφυσικά- ζητήματα ενδογενώς, χωρίς επιπρόσθετες υποθέσεις. Θα αναφερθούμε σύντομα στις κύριες εναλλακτικές θεωρίες βαρύτητας, συγκεκριμένα στην f(R) θεωρία, στη Gauss-Bonnet θεωρία και τη ``μιμητική'' Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet θεωρία; έπειτα, θα προχωρήσουμε ελέγχοντας τη βιωσιμότητα τους σε συγκεκριμένα κοσμολογικά προβλήματα, όπως η δυναμική του πρώιμου και του ύστερου Σύμπαντος

description: Salmonella enterica is an enteric human pathogen that lives in gastrointestinal tract; however, Salmonella are able to survive in plants. Thus, vegetables such as tomato are vectors for Salmonella. Evidence suggests that Salmonella induces PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI) in plants, however, plant systemic acquired resistance (SAR), which may act to suppress Salmonella populations, has not been explored. This research investigates whether Salmonella triggers SAR in tomato, and whether SAR activation restricts epiphytic Salmonella populations. Inoculation of tomato leaves with Salmonella increased SAR marker gene expression in distal tomato leaves, but did not reduce populations of the phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae or Salmonella on distal leaves, even following treatment with chemical SAR activators. NahG plants, which are deficient in SAR signaling, supported higher Salmonella populations, and nitric oxide depletion on leaf surfaces favored Salmonella growth, suggesting that SAR is involved. SAR alone is insufficient to restrict Salmonella growth on tomato, despite being triggered.

description: The discovery of the short-period giant exoplanet population, the so-called hot Jupiter population, and their link to brown dwarfs and low-mass stars challenges the conventional view of planet formation and evolution. We took advantage of the multi-fiber facilities GIRAFFE and FLAMES-UVES (VLT) to perform the first large radial velocity survey using a multi-fiber spectrograph, aiming at detecting planetary and brown dwarfs candidates and binaries. We observed during 5 consecutive half-nights 816 stars selected within one of the exoplanet field of the space mission CoRoT. We computed the radial velocities of these stars and shown that a systematic error of 30 m s$^{-1}$ has been reached over 5 consecutive nights. Over the whole sample the Doppler measurements allowed us to identify a sample of 50 binaries, 9 active or blended binary stars, 5 unsolved cases and 14 exoplanets and brown dwarf candidates. Further higher precision Doppler measurements are now necessary to confirm and better characterize these candidates. This study demonstrates the efficiency of such a multi-fiber approach for large radial velocity surveys in search for exoplanets as well as the follow-up of transiting exoplanet candidates of existing and future programs like the CoRoT space mission.

description: We exploit here the dramatic field enhancement caused by energy squeezing and tunneling (i.e., 'supercoupling') in metamaterial-inspired ultranarrow waveguide channels with near zero effective permittivity in order to sense small permittivity variations in a tiny object. The supercoupling effect is accurately modeled analytically and closed form expressions are derived to describe the presence of defects or permittivity perturbations along the channel. Applications for tailoring its pass-band frequency and for high-Q sensing are proposed at microwave frequencies.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετήσαμε βαρυτικά κύματα που προέρχονται από την συγχώνεση δύο αστέρων νετρονίων. Μετά την συγχώνευση τους, γνωστή και σαν μετασυγχωνευτική φάση, δημιουργείται ένας υπερμαζικός αστέρας νετρονίων που πάλλεται, συνεπώς παράγει βαρυτικά κύματα επιίσης. Αυτές ακριβώς οι ταλαντώσεις είναι αυτές που εξαρτώνται άμεσα από την καταστατική εξίσωση του αστέρα. Δημιουργήσαμε ένα εργαλείο για την μοντελοποίηση αυτών των σημάτων που συνδέουν χαρακτηριστικά της μετασυγχωνευτικής φάσης όπως οι κύριες συχνότητες εκπομπής με χαρακτηριστικά του αστέρα όπως η ακτίνα και την μάζα του. Στο δεύτερο μέρος της εργασίας αυτής χρησιμοποιήσαμε μηχανική μάθηση ώστε να συσταδοποιήσουμε τις χρονοσειρές αυτές επιβεβαιώνοντας το θεωρητικό μοντέλο κατάταξης των βαρυτικών κυμάτων που είχε προταθεί από τους Bauswein & Stergioulas, PRD, 91, 124056 (2015)
description: In the present work we studied gravitational waves from neutron star binaries. After merging, the remnant of the collision is a hypermassive metastable neutron star that strongly emmits gravitational waves. These gravitational waves are heavily depending on the equation of state that governs neutron stars. We developed a tool for modeling the postmerger phase, which connect postmerger characteristics such as the main frequencies with general characteristics of neutron stars such as the chirp mass and the radius. In the second part of this work we applied machine learning techniques in order to cluster the aforthmentioned gravitational waves confirming the theoretical classification scheme suggested by Bauswein \& Stergioulas, PRD, 91, 124056 (2015)

description: We make use of the AdS/CFT correspondence to determine the energy of an external quark-antiquark pair that moves through strongly-coupled thermal N=4 super-Yang-Mills plasma, both in the rest frame of the plasma and in the rest frame of the pair. It is found that the pair feels no drag force, has an energy that reproduces the expected 1/L (or gamma/L) behavior at small quark-antiquark separations, and becomes unbound beyond a certain screening length whose velocity-dependence we determine. We discuss the relation between the high-velocity limit of our results and the lightlike Wilson loop proposed recently as a definition of the jet-quenching parameter.

Dust-Enshrouded AGN can Dominate Host-Galaxy-Scale Cold-Dust Emission

description: It is widely assumed that long-wavelength infrared (IR) emission from cold dust (T~20-40K) is a reliable tracer of star formation even in the presence of a bright active galactic nucleus (AGN). Based on radiative transfer (RT) models of clumpy AGN tori, hot dust emission from the torus contributes negligibly to the galaxy spectral energy distribution (SED) at $λ\ga100$ \micron. However, these models do not include AGN heating of host-galaxy-scale diffuse dust, which may have far-IR (FIR) colors comparable to cold diffuse dust heated by stars. To quantify the contribution of AGN heating to host-galaxy-scale cold dust emission at $λ\ga100$ \micron, we perform dust RT calculations on a simulated galaxy merger both including and excluding the bright AGN that it hosts. By differencing the SEDs yielded by RT calculations with and without AGN that are otherwise identical, we quantify the FIR cold dust emission arising solely from re-processed AGN photons. In extreme cases, AGN-heated host-galaxy-scale dust can increase galaxy-integrated FIR flux densities by factors of 2-4; star formation rates calculated from the FIR luminosity assuming no AGN contribution can overestimate the true value by comparable factors. Because the FIR colors of such systems are similar to those of purely star-forming galaxies and redder than torus models, broadband SED decomposition may be insufficient for disentangling the contributions of stars and heavily dust-enshrouded AGN in the most IR-luminous galaxies. We demonstrate how kpc-scale resolved observations can be used to identify deeply dust-enshrouded AGN with cool FIR colors when spectroscopic and/or X-ray detection methods are unavailable.

title: Detecting cloud virtual network isolation security for data leakage
Creators: name: Al Nasseri, Haifa Mohamed
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This thesis considers information leakage in cloud virtually isolated networks. Virtual Network (VN) Isolation is a core element of cloud security yet research literature shows that no experimental work, to date, has been conducted to test, discover and evaluate VN isolation data leakage. Consequently, this research focussed on that gap. Deep Dives of the cloud infrastructures were performed, followed by (Kali) penetration tests to detect any leakage. This data was compared to information gathered in the Deep Dive, to determine the level of cloud network infrastructure being exposed. As a major contribution to research, this is the first empirical work to use a Deep Dive approach and a penetration testing methodology applied to both CloudStack and OpenStack to demonstrate cloud network isolation vulnerabilities. The outcomes indicated that Cloud manufacturers need to test their isolation mechanisms more fully and enhance them with available solutions. However, this field needs more industrial data to confirm if the found issues are applicable to non-open source cloud technologies. If the problems revealed are widespread then this is a major issue for cloud security. Due to the time constraints, only two cloud testbeds were built and analysed, but many potential future works are listed for analysing more complicated VN, analysing leveraged VN plugins and testing if system complexity will cause more leakage or protect the VN. This research is one of the first empirical building blocks in the field and gives future researchers the basis for building their research on top of the presented methodology and results and for proposing more effective solutions.

Ακόμη, διερευνήθηκαν οι διαφορές μητέρων και πατέρων, αναφορικά με το συναίσθημα και τους μηχανισμούς προσαρμογής. Χρησιμοποιήθηκε η θεωρία των σταδίων για τη διεργασία του θρήνου των Drotar, Baskiewicz, Irvin, Kennell και Klaus (1975), το διαδικαστικό μοντέλο του στρες και της αντιμετώπισης των Lazarus και Folkman (1984) και αποτελέσματα πολυάριθμων ερευνών για τη θετική επίδραση των παιδιών με αναπηρία στην οικογένεια τους, για να ερμηνεύσουν το υπό διερεύνηση ζήτημα. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν οχτώ γονείς παιδιών με κινητική αναπηρία, τέσσερις μητέρες και τέσσερις πατέρες. Για την ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων χρησιμοποιήθηκε η θεματική ανάλυση. Δημιουργήθηκαν πέντε κατηγορίες αποτελεσμάτων από τις οποίες εξήχθησαν τα εξής συμπεράσματα: η προσαρμογή των γονέων ακολουθεί κυκλικό σχήμα, το οποίο περιλαμβάνει το ψυχοπιεστικό γεγονός, την αξιολόγηση του και τους μηχανισμούς που εγείρονται για την αντιμετώπιση του. Το θετικό συναίσθημα συνυπάρχει με το αρνητικό και υπερισχύει αυτού. Δεν βρέθηκαν σημαντικές διαφορές φύλου ως προς το θετικό συναίσθημα για το παιδί και τους μηχανισμούς προσαρμογής
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the experience of parents with physically disabled children about their positive emotion and their coping mechanisms. In addition, the differences between mothers’ and fathers’ emotion and coping mechanisms were examined. For the aim of this thesis it was used the model of Drotar, Baskiewicz, Irvin, Kennell and Klaus (1975) about the stages of grieving process, the process model of stress and coping of Lazarus and Folkman (1984) and results from many other studies that examined the positive way that physically disabled children contribute to their families. For the examination of the issue, eight parents, four mothers and four fathers, were interviewed. Thematic Analysis was used for the results analysis and five categories developed, which result in the following conclusions: parents’ adaptation follows cyclical scheme, which includes the stressor, the evaluation and the coping mechanisms that arise. Positive emotion coexists with negative and preponderates. There were not found significant differences between maternal and paternal experience about the positive emotion for the child and the coping mechanisms

Από τον Πλάτωνα και τον Μάρξ μέχρι και σήμερα η κατάκτηση της αλήθειας έχει πρωταγωνιστικό ρόλο. Τόσο για την κατανόηση του κόσμου, όσο και για την αλλαγή του, κρίθηκε ως απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση η υπέρβαση των ανθρώπινων αυταπατών. Χρησιμοποιώντας εργαλεία είτε μέσα από την θεωρία, είτε από την υλική πράξη, η γνώση ενός βαθύτερου επιπέδου αλήθειας, το οποίο αποκρύπτεται, θεωρήθηκε βαρύνουσας σημασίας. Σύμφωνα μ’ αυτήν την αντίληψη όσοι επιδίωκαν την αλήθεια όφειλαν, ξεπερνώντας τη μορφή, να κατανοήσουν το περιεχόμενο των πραγμάτων, έχοντας διαχωρίσει την ουσία από την ύλη. Το βασικό ερώτημα που τίθεται εδώ, είναι η αξία αυτής της θέσης. Υπάρχει πράγματι μία κρυμμένη αλήθεια πίσω από τα γεγονότα; Και εάν ναί, έχει νόημα να την αναζητά κανείς; Τελικά, πόσο βοηθά στην χειραφέτηση του ανθρώπου η υιοθέτηση μιας τέτοιας θεώρησης; Μέσα από τα έργα των Πλάτωνα, Μάρξ, Φουκώ, Κούν και άλλων σημαντικών συγγραφέων η εργασία προσπαθεί να αναμετρηθεί με τα ιδιαίτερα αυτά ερωτήματα
description: The main aim of this essay is to investigate the significance of the concept of "Truth" in political theory, outlining how specific conceptions of this notion have been developed in different historical periods and by different authors. From Plato to Marx and even today the acquisition of truth has been given a primary role; both for understanding the world and for changing it, the overcoming of human illusions has been considered as a necessary prerequisite. Using tools either from theory or from material practice, the knowledge of a deeper level of truth, which is somehow hidden has been regarded of great significance. According to this perspective, those who aimed at truth have to overcome the form of things and comprehend their content, having in the process distinguished between essence and matter. The basic question asked here concerns the value of this standpoint. Is there indeed a hidden truth behind facts? If yes, is there any point seeking it? Ultimately, how much does such a theory contribute in human emancipation? Through the work of Plato, Marx, Foucault, Khun and other authors, my essay will try to tackle these questions

description: Callinectes sapidus reo-like virus (RLV) is a fatal to blue crabs and consistently found within the Chesapeake Bay. Development of a sensitive and reliable RT-qPCR assay permitted a precise assessment of RLV prevalence in crabs captured from locations near and far from soft-shell crab production sites. Viral prevalence was temporally and spatially highly variable, but outbreaks of RLV appeared to be localized to an area of 1 - 2 km2. When significantly different between sites, higher prevalence was observed near soft-shell crab production. RLV prevalence was not correlated with crab characteristics, with the exception of larger mean carapace width for infected crabs. Sequences of RLV PCR products were used to compare genotypes of outbreak and non-outbreak infections. Identical genotypes were found in outbreaks from the middle Chesapeake Bay and Long Island, NY. Together, the prevalence and genetic data are consistent with RLV outbreaks being caused by focal spread of the virus through a local population.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία έχει σκοπό να εξετάσει το έργο του βραβευμένου φιλοσόφου και καθηγητή Charles Taylor «Πολυπολιτισμικότητα. Εξετάζοντας την πολιτική της αναγνώρισης». Επικεντρώνεται στην προσέγγιση των εννοιών της πολυπολιτισμικότητας και της ταυτότητας στα έργα του ίδιου, αλλά και άλλων φιλοσόφων, εξετάζοντας τις σημασιολογικές τους αποχρώσεις διαχρονικά και σε συνδυασμό με τα κυρίαρχα πολιτικο-οικονομικά μοντέλα, κυρίως σε σχέση με τον φιλελευθερισμό, που κυριαρχεί στον λεγόμενο δυτικό κόσμο. Ξεκινώντας με τη γενικότερη έννοια του κοινωνικού συμβολαίου στην πολιτική φιλοσοφία και της συμβίωσης στο πλαίσιο μιας οργανωμένης πολιτείας, εξετάζεται ο φιλελευθερισμός και ο τρόπος που επηρεάζει τη ζωή, αλλά και τη νοοτροπία των πολιτών. Διασαφηνίζονται οι διαπλεκόμενοι όροι της ατομικής ταυτότητας και της κοινωνικής ταυτότητας. Το κύριο μέρος της εργασίας περιλαμβάνει την παρουσίαση της πολιτικής της αναγνώρισης στο έργο του Taylor και κλείνει με τον διάλογο που αναπτύχθηκε μεταξύ αυτού και άλλων διανοητών σχετικά με το ίδιο ζήτημα
description: This paper aims to examine the work of the award-winning philosopher and professor Charles Taylor "Multiculturalism. Examining Recognition Policy ". It focuses on the approach of the concepts of multiculturalism and identity in the works of the same and other philosophers, examining their semantic diachronicities and in combination with the dominant political-economic models, mainly in relation to the liberalization dominating the so-called western. Starting with the general concept of the social symbol in political philosophy and coexistence within an organized state, liberalization and the way it affects the life and the attitudes of citizens are being examined. We clarify the branched terms of individual identity and social identity. The main part of the work includes the presentation of the recognition policy in Taylor's work and closes with the dialogue developed between it and other distributors on the same issue

Observable Signatures of a Black Hole Ejected by Gravitational Radiation Recoil in a Galaxy Merger

description: According to recent general-relativistic simulations, the coalescence of two spinning black holes (BHs) could lead to recoil speeds of the BH remnant of up to thousands of km/s as a result of the emission of gravitational radiation. Such speeds would enable the merger product to escape its host galaxy. Here we examine the circumstances resulting from a gas-rich galaxy merger under which the ejected BH would carry an accretion disk with it and be observable. As the initial BH binary emits gravitational radiation and its orbit tightens, a hole is opened around it in the disk which delays the consumption of gas prior to the eventual BH ejection. The punctured disk remains bound to the ejected BH within the region where the gas orbital velocity is larger than the ejection speed. For a ~10^7 solar mass BH the ejected disk has a characteristic size of tens of thousands of Schwarzschild radii and an accretion lifetime of ~10^7 years. During that time, the ejected BH could traverse a considerable distance and appear as an off-center quasar with a feedback trail along the path it left behind. A small fraction of all quasars could be associated with an escaping BH.

Year: 2019

description: Looking into the futures of eHealth? The title of this publication might seem quite presumptuous at first. Its objective, however, is to serve a much more modest purpose, in that it strives to take a look at potential, likely, desired, anticipated or feared futures of digital health technologies and practices. When analysing the opportunities and risks associated with them as well as the social, legal and ethical challenges they might pose, what we also see in the process are the expectations and promises projected onto them.

description: We report on the first observations of the Askaryan effect in ice: coherent impulsive radio Cherenkov radiation from the charge asymmetry in an electromagnetic (EM) shower. Such radiation has been observed in silica sand and rock salt, but this is the first direct observation from an EM shower in ice. These measurements are important since the majority of experiments to date that rely on the effect for ultra-high energy neutrino detection are being performed using ice as the target medium. As part of the complete validation process for the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, we performed an experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in June 2006 using a 7.5 metric ton ice target, yielding results fully consistent with theoretical expectations.

description: Chemotaxis is a phenomenon which enables cells to sense concentrations of certain chemical species in their microenvironment and move towards chemically favorable regions. This behavior is best understood in the bacteria Escherichia coli, which exhibits chemotaxis towards a variety of energy sources and signaling molecules. Recent advances in microbiology have engineered the chemotactic properties of bacteria to perform novel functions, but traditional methods of characterizing chemotaxis are not sufficient for such complex applications.

The field of microfluidics offers solutions in the form of gradient generators. Many of these gradient generators are flow-based, where a chemical species diffuses across a solution moving through a microchannel. A microfluidic gradient generator was explored as a chemotaxis platform. Sources of error during experimental operation and methods of mitigating this error were demonstrated, and the fundamental theory behind these devices was examined. These devices were determined to be inadequate for the study of bacterial chemotaxis.
Information and maximum power in a feedback controlled Brownian ratchet

description: Closed-loop or feedback controlled ratchets are Brownian motors that operate using information about the state of the system. For these ratchets, we compute the power output and we investigate its relation with the information used in the feedback control. We get analytical expressions for one-particle and few-particle flashing ratchets, and we find that the maximum power output has an upper bound proportional to the information. In addition, we show that the increase of the power output that results from changing the optimal open-loop ratchet to a closed-loop ratchet also has an upper bound that is linear in the information.

description: Mobile health (mHealth) technologies, such as apps, smartwatches, sensors or technology built into shoes or fabrics, are increasingly becoming an essential part of healthy life- styles, disease prevention and management. The hope is that mHealth can revolutionise and transform healthcare (European Commission 2014, 2018; WHO 2011). Given the ground-breaking importance for health and health care mHealth is assumed to have, our research team “META”1 interrogates the ethical, legal and social aspects (ELSA) of mHealth. In this article, we identify some profound and potentially conflicting implications of mHealth for individuals and society. In our conclusion, we emphasise the importance of rethinking disciplinary and normative approaches to mHealth.

description: We present a method that may allow an estimate of the value of the speed of sound as well as its logarithmic derivative with respect to the baryon number density in matter created in heavy-ion collisions. To this end, we utilize well-known observables: cumulants of the baryon number distribution. In analyses aimed at uncovering the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter, cumulants gather considerable attention as their qualitative behaviour along the explored range of collision energies is expected to aid in detecting the QCD critical point. We show that the cumulants may also reveal the behavior of the speed of sound in the temperature and baryon chemical potential plane. We demonstrate the applicability of such estimates within two models of nuclear matter, and explore what might be understood from known experimental data.

description: The nuclear physics input from the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be cross section is a major uncertainty in the fluxes of 7Be and 8B neutrinos from the Sun predicted by solar models and in the 7Li abundance obtained in big-bang nucleosynthesis calculations. The present work reports on a new precision experiment using the activation technique at energies directly relevant to big-bang nucleosynthesis. Previously such low energies had been reached experimentally only by the prompt-gamma technique and with inferior precision. Using a windowless gas target, high beam intensity and low background gamma-counting facilities, the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be cross section has been determined at 127, 148 and 169 keV center-of-mass energy with a total uncertainty of 4%. The sources of systematic uncertainty are discussed in detail. The present data can be used in big-bang nucleosynthesis calculations and to constrain the extrapolation of the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be astrophysical S-factor to solar energies.

description: Targeted drug delivery to endothelial cells lining the vasculature can improve treatment of many pathologies. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), a transmembrane glycoprotein overexpressed in many diseases, is a good determinant for endothelial targeting of drug nanoparticles (NPs). In this study we synthesized surfactant-free, FITC-labeled poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) NPs coated with anti-ICAM, and used fluorescence microscopy and radiotracing to study their interaction with endothelial cells in culture and in vivo. These NPs were stable in storage conditions and degraded in conditions mimicking intracellular lysosomes. Furthermore, NPs showed specific ICAM-1 binding, which was enhanced in diseased-like conditions, followed by efficient uptake and lysosomal trafficking via the CAM-mediated pathway. Intravenous administration of NPs in mice resulted in organ-specific accumulation, most prominently the lungs. Hence, surfactant-free, FITC-labeled anti-ICAM PLGA NPs enabled the study of NP interactions with biological systems, which along with their fast degradation profile in physiological-like conditions, will guide future therapeutic applications.

description: Historically, ELIXIR CZ focused on bioinformatics solutions for precision medicine—addressing haematological, oncological, autoimmune, and neurodegenerative diseases—which recently led to the development of ML-driven tools such as PredictOnco. However, with the scientific community’s push for open science and AI-driven healthcare, our focus is now shifting toward establishing a federated human data infrastructure. This new direction aims to integrate and standardize sensitive human omics data across Europe, enabling secure, interoperable data sharing and analysis that will drive AI model training and innovative diagnostics. By aligning with initiatives such as GDI, FEGA and EOSC-CZ, ELIXIR CZ is committed to developing a robust national and pan-European platform that ultimately enhances personalized medicine through data-driven insights and open science collaboration.
Plurality of values in mHealth: Conventions and ethical dilemmas
Creators: name: Cappel, Valeska
name: Kappler, Karolin Eva
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The pragmatic economics of conventions offers new insights into mHealth, providing a deeper understanding of current ethical problems. By conducting a pragmatic analysis of digitisation and mHealth, we want to introduce a new fundamental perspective to shed light on the moral and ethical questions arising from mHealth. As a general social science theory, the economics of conventions (EC) offers consistent pragmatic concepts for the sociological analysis of social institutions, social cognition, social actions, social interactions and coordination processes, social constructions of facts, and social entities and their qualities. EC conceives of conventions as deeper and more general logics of coordination, interpretation and evaluation that actors apply in situations (Diaz-Bone 2018). From this perspective, actions are always the result of a process (Eymard-Duvernay et al. 2011) and are characterised by coordination between individuals and their social and material environments (Diaz-Bone 2018). Therefore, and in addition to the actors, conventions (Boltanski & Thévenot 2007), forms and objects (Thévenot 1984, 2001) become relevant by partly defining the meaning and social relevance of health. Adopting this theoretical perspective, we focus on health as a category that has to be mobilised in the first place (Foucault 1973; Ewald 1993) and has to be seen as a plural social institution (Collyer 2015; Batifoulier, Da Silva & Domin 2018; Da Silva 2018) that is enforced by ongoing digital transformations (Ruckenstein & Dow Schüll, 2017; Sharon 2018). Related to the EC perspective, we assume that the implementation of mHealth is guided by a plurality of logics, which causes – at least partially – (ethical) conflicts among them.
