The Scarlet Letter

description: Η εργασία αυτή αποτελεί μια σύγκριση μεταξύ του διηγήματος του Nathaniel Hawthorne Το Άλικο Γράμμα (The Scarlet Letter) και της μεταφοράς του στον κινηματογράφο από το σκηνοθέτη Roland Joffe. Επικεντρώνεται δε περισσότερο στο χαρακτήρα της Hester Prynne. Ένας από τους στόχους της εν λόγω εργασίας είναι να δείξει την απόρριψη της πουριτανικής κοινωνίας της Μασαχουσέτης του 1600 από τον Hawthorne μέσω της ηρωίδας του, αν και αυτός έζησε σε μία εποχή που ο πουριτανισμός κυριαρχούσε. Ο συγγραφέας δείχνει να έχει θετική στάση απέναντι στην Prynne, η οποία διαπράττει μοιχεία και δείχνει εμμέσως συμπόνια και κατανόηση για αυτήν και την τιμωρία της από τους πουριτανούς συμπολίτες της. Επίσης ένας άλλος σκοπός της εργασίας είναι να επισημάνει τις ομοιότητες και τις διαφορές στον χαρακτήρα της Hester όπως αυτός παρουσιάζεται στο διήγημα και στην κινηματογραφική του μεταφορά. Διεισδύοντας σε συγκεκριμένες πτυχές της προσωπικότητας της ηρωίδας θα δειχθεί ότι ενώ ο σκηνοθέτης σέβεται τις απόψεις του Hawthorne, επιδεικνύοντας συμπόνια για την ηρωίδα, προσαρμόζει την ιστορία στην δικιά του εποχή. Ο σκηνοθέτης προσθέτει τολμηρές σκηνές και παρουσιάζει την ηρωίδα να ανταποκρίνεται στο μοντέλο της γυναίκας-θηλυκό του 20ου αιώνα.
description: This project is a comparison between Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter and its film adaptation by Roland Joffe, focusing on the character of Hester Prynne. One of its aims is to show how Hawthorne indirectly expresses, via his heroine, Hester Prynne, his disapproval of the Puritan ways in 1600 Massachusetts, Boston, although he actually lived in the Puritan society in question. This project will lay bare that the writer holds a positive attitude towards Prynne, who has committed adultery, and it will demonstrate his implied compassion and sympathy for her and the ordeals she is submitted to by the Puritan people, due to her sin. Another aim of this paper is to highlight the similarities and differences of Hester’s presentation between the film adaptation and the novel, delving into miscellaneous, but specific, aspects of the heroine in question; it will be shown that although the director of the film respects Hawthorne’s narrative and viewpoint about Puritans and Hester, creating himself sympathy for her, as well, he adjusts the story to his own era, adapting it to the twentieth century mentality, adding rather daring scenes and presenting the heroine to correspond to the feminine role-model of the time.

description: The observed physical clustering of the orbits of small bodies in the distant Kuiper Belt (TNOs) has recently prompted the prediction of an additional planet in the outer solar system. Since the initial posing of the hypothesis, the effects of Planet Nine on the dynamics of the main cluster of TNOs - the objects anti-aligned with its orbit - have been well-studied. In particular, numerical simulations have revealed a fascinating phenomenon, referred to as "resonance hopping", in which these objects abruptly transition between different mean-motion commensurabilities with Planet Nine. In this work, we explore this effect in greater detail, with the goal of understanding what mechanism prompts the hopping events to occur. In the process, we elucidate the often underestimated role of Neptune scattering interactions, which leads to diffusion in the semi-major axes of these distant TNOs. In addition, we demonstrate that although some resonant interactions with Planet Nine do occur, the anti-aligned objects are able to survive without the resonances, confirming that the dynamics of the TNOs are predominantly driven by secular, rather than resonant, interactions with Planet Nine.

description: By engineering laser-atom interactions, both Hall ribbons and Hall cylinders as fundamental theoretical tools in condensed matter physics have recently been synthesized in laboratories. Here, we show that turning a synthetic Hall ribbon into a synthetic Hall cylinder could naturally lead to localization. Unlike a Hall ribbon, a Hall cylinder hosts an intrinsic lattice, which arises due to the periodic boundary condition in the azimuthal direction, in addition to the external periodic potential imposed by extra lasers. When these two lattices are incommensurate, localization may occur on a synthetic Hall cylinder. Near the localization-delocalization transitions, the dependence of physical observables on the axial magnetic flux allows us to tackle a fundamental question of determining the accuracy of rational approximation of irrational numbers. In the irrational limit, physical observables are no longer affected by fluctuations of the axial flux.

description: We examine nonlocal effects between normal-metal gold probes connected by superconducting aluminum. For highly transparent Au/Al interfaces, we find nonlocal voltages that obey a spatial and temperature evolution distinct from the nonequilibrium charge imbalance signals usually found in such systems. These voltages are consistent with the predicted effects of crossed Andreev reflection and elastic cotunneling, effects that involve coherent correlations between spatially separated electrons.

Using methods from theory of foliations we obtain certain upper bounds for the number of these fibers as functions only of $n$. Equivalently this gives upper bounds for the dimensions of resonance varieties of hyperplane arrangements. We obtain similar bounds for the dimensions of the characteristic varieties of the arrangement complements.

description: Η αναπηρία και ο κοινωνικός αποκλεισμός είναι δυο έννοιες που χαρακτηρίζονται από πολυσημία, καθώς αναφέρονται σε κοινωνικά φαινόμενα των οποίων η ερμηνεία ανάγεται σε ποικίλες, συχνά αντικρουόμενες, θεωρητικές παραδοχές. Σκοπός της εργασίας είναι να αναδείξει το λόγο των ίδιων των αναπήρων και των οικογενειών τους για τα ζητήματα αναπηρίας και κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού που τους αφορούν άμεσα. Το υλικό που μελετήθηκε αποτελείται από κείμενα δημοσιευμένα σε ιστοσελίδες και ιστολόγια που διατηρούν ανάπηρα άτομα και ομάδες αναπήρων. Ως ερευνητικό εργαλείο επιλέχθηκε η ποιοτική ανάλυση περιεχομένου, καθώς επιτρέπει τη συστηματική προσπέλαση των υπό μελέτη κειμένων, παρακάμπτοντας συγχρόνως το σκόπελο του τεμαχισμού του κειμένου. Από την έρευνα αυτή φάνηκε ότι οι ανάπηροι δεν είναι μια ομοιογενής πληθυσμιακή ομάδα της οποίας τα μέλη συνδέονται εξαιτίας μιας βιολογικής βλάβης ή κάποιου ελλείμματος. Μπορεί εκείνο που τους συνδέει να είναι αυτό το έλλειμμα, εκείνο που τους διαφοροποιεί όμως, είναι οι διαφορετικές ιδεολογικές και θεωρητικές αναφορές τους και κοινωνικές αξίες, σύμφωνα με τις οποίες ερμηνεύουν την αναπηρία και αναζητούν λύσεις στα προβλήματά τους. Η έρευνα αυτή έδειξε ότι οι ανάπηροι εμφορούνται από την κυρίαρχη ή άλλες ιδεολογίες με τον ίδιο τρόπο που εμφορούνται και τα υπόλοιπα μέρη του κοινωνικού συνόλου.
description: Disability and social exclusion are social problems with controversial meaning. The aim of this study is to make known the discourse of disabled people and their families concerning the problems connected with disability and social exclusion, which they face immediately. In this dissertation, qualitative content analysis was used as research tool, while texts from internet, written by disabled people, were used as empirical material. According to the results of the study, even though disabled people share in common a kind of impairment, they seem to differentiate their texts in relation to the different ideologies, theoretical aspects and social values adopted. These positions lead them to pathways that familiarize them with the disability and search of problem solving. Our research showed that disabled people hold dominant or less dominant discourses drawn mainly by the medical versus the social model of disability.

description: Swimming bacteria detect chemical gradients by performing temporal comparisons of recent measurements of chemical concentration. These comparisons are described quantitatively by the chemotactic response function, which we expect to optimize chemotactic behavioral performance. We identify two independent chemotactic performance criteria: in the short run, a favorable response function should move bacteria up chemoattractant gradients, while in the long run, bacteria should aggregate at peaks of chemoattractant concentration. Surprisingly, these two criteria conflict, so that when one performance criterion is most favorable, the other is unfavorable. Since both types of behavior are biologically relevant, we include both behaviors in a composite optimization that yields a response function that closely resembles experimental measurements. Our work suggests that the bacterial chemotactic response function can be derived from simple behavioral considerations, and sheds light on how the response function contributes to chemotactic performance.

description: The Deep Space Network (DSN) enables NASA to communicate with its spacecraft in deep space. By virtue of its large antennas, the DSN can also be used as a powerful instrument for radio astronomy. Specifically, Deep Space Station (DSS) 43, the 70 m antenna at the Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex (CDSCC) has a K-band radio astronomy system covering a 10 GHz bandwidth at 17 GHz to 27 GHz. This spectral range covers a number of atomic and molecular lines, produced in a rich variety of interstellar gas conditions. Lines include hydrogen radio recombination lines (RRLs), cyclopropenylidene, water masers, and ammonia. A new high-resolution spectrometer was deployed at CDSCC in November 2019 and connected to the K-band downconverter. The spectrometer has a total bandwidth of 16 GHz. Such a large total bandwidth enables, for example, the simultaneous observations of a large number of RRLs, which can be combined together to significantly improve the sensitivity of these observations. The system has two firmware modes: 1) A 65k-pt FFT to provide 32768 spectral channels at 30.5 kHz and 2) A 16k-pt polyphase filterbank (PFB) to provide 8192 spectral channels with 122 kHz resolution. The observation process is designed to maximize autonomy, from the Principle Investigator's inputs to the output data in FITS file format. We present preliminary mapping observations of hydrogen RRLs in Orion KL mapping taken using the new spectrometer.

Τα δίκτυα γνώσης αποτελούν βήμα εξέλιξης της διοίκησης γνώσης, γιατί ξεφεύγουν από τα εταιρικά όρια και σχηματίζονται με συνεργασία και συναίνεση ομάδας εταιριών.

description: This research concerns mainly knowledge networks, the means that they are formed and the advantages they bring to businesses. In today’s markets it is all about innovation and the ability for knowledge to be shared amongst businesses is considered leverage and an important resource. Knowledge networks go one step further than knowledge management. They go beyond knowledge management of one firm and are formulated at an inter-firm level. In this paper five key criteria are examined, namely the cooperation factor, the corporate culture, innovation, technology and methods of assessment of the knowledge. In the second part of the paper several case studies are analyzed and examined in accordance to the key criteria mentioned. An analysis of whether the networks are formally or informally formed is also included, as well as the benefits that a firm or a number of firms enjoy. Finally, reference is made to Greek businesses, the state of knowledge networks in Greece at present and in the future.

description: The growing worldwide levels of renewable power generation require innovative solutions to maintain grid reliability and stability, due to their variability and uncertainty. The implementation of microgrids in small regions can help with these challenges, by intelligently storing or releasing electricity to the grid, depending on the loads and the grid requirements at any specific time. Renewable microgrids are also good solutions for regions wishing to produce green electricity independently from the grid, saving potentially high cable laying and grid connection costs. Switzerland does not yet have a large number of installed wind turbines (0.2% penetration level in 2016), and despite the ambitious Energy Strategy 2050, not a single wind turbine was installed in 2018. This lack of progress is mainly due to large delays, costs and risks associated with the permitting procedure for wind turbines higher than 30 m. Whilst wind turbines lower than 30 m require a much easier permitting procedure, they are less economically viable than large wind turbines, generally having average installed costs of about 4,400 $/kW compared to 1,400 $/kW for MW-size wind turbines. The implementation of renewable microgrids consisting of small wind turbines below 30 m, photovoltaic panels and a storage system may be a potential solution to help Switzerland to reach the goals of the Energy Strategy 2050. In this work, twelve sites in Switzerland were chosen for a 100% renewable energy microgrid feasibility study. Five of these sites were found to be economically viable, assuming that organisations / municipalities are prepared to make extra investments up to 0.2 $/kWh for electricity independence. The Self-Sufficiency Ratio (SSR) was between 1 and 2 for each site, reflecting the extra installed capacity required in order to fully cover every hour of demand (island operation). Reduced battery costs (up to 50%) reduce COE (up to 11%) but reduce SSR only minimally (<1%). Reduced wind turbine costs (up to 75%) reduce COE (up to 46%) but increase SSR (up to 30%). Reduced PV costs (up to 33%) reduce COE (up to 66%) but increases SSR (up to 81%). However, the implementation of 100% renewable energy microgrids is strongly limited by the area required / available. Furthermore, a suitable solution was found for a High Performance Computin

description: Brownian thermal noise associated with highly-reflective mirror coatings is a fundamental limit for several precision experiments, including gravitational-wave detectors. Recently, there has been a worldwide effort to find mirror coatings with improved thermal noise properties that also fulfill strict optical requirements such as low absorption and scatter. We report on the optical and mechanical properties of ion-beam-sputtered niobia and titania-niobia thin films, and we discuss application of such coatings in current and future gravitational-wave detectors. We also report an updated direct coating thermal noise measurement of the HR coatings used in Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo.

description: The Braess paradox describes the counterintuitive situation that the addition of new roads to road networks can lead to higher travel times for all network users. Recently we could show that user optima leading to the paradox exist in networks of microscopic transport models. We derived phase diagrams for two kinds of route choice strategies that were externally tuned and applied by all network users. Here we address the question whether these user optima are still realized if intelligent route choice decisions are made based upon two kinds of traffic information. We find that the paradox still can occur if the drivers 1) make informed decisions based on their own past experiences or 2) use traffic information similar to that provided by modern navigation apps. This indicates that modern traffic information systems are not able to resolve Braess' paradox.

description: Serial diffraction of proteins requires an injection method to deliver protein molecules - preferably uncharged, fully hydrated, spatially oriented, and with high flux - into the crossed beams of an alignment laser and a focused probe beam of electrons or X-rays of typically only a few tens of microns diameter. The aim of this work has been to examine several potential droplet sources as to their suitability for this task. We compare Rayleigh droplet sources, electrospray sources, nebulizers and aerojet-focused droplet sources using time-resolved optical images of the droplet beams. Shrinkage of droplets by evaporation as a means of removing most of the water surrounding the proteins is discussed. Experimental measurements of droplet size, conformation of proteins after passing through a Rayleigh jet, and triboelectric charging are presented and conclusions are drawn about the source configuration for serial diffraction. First experimental X-ray diffraction patterns from Rayleigh droplet beams doped with 100nm gold balls are shown.

description: The use of mass media in the field of foreign language teaching is not a new phenomenon. Nowadays using mass media in the process of self-education is spread widely and also it is an important tool used by foreign language teachers. Technological progress, the communication revolution, the spread of the Internet, and the development of new media and mobile technologies offer modern and more effective methods of language education. This article reviews the conditions relating to the relationship between mass. media and language learning.

description: The $η$-meson production in photon- and hadron-induced reactions, namely, $γp \to p η$, $π^- p \to n η$, $pp \to ppη$, and $pn \to pnη$, are investigated in a combined analysis in order to learn about the relevant production mechanisms and the possible role of nucleon resonances in these reactions. We consider the nucleonic, mesonic, and nucleon resonance currents constructed within an effective Lagrangian approach and compare the results with the available data for cross sections and spin asymmetries for these reactions. We found that the reaction $γp \to p η$ could be described well with the inclusion of the well-established $S_{11}(1535)$, $S_{11}(1650)$, $D_{13}(1520)$, and $D_{13}(1700)$ resonances, in addition to the mesonic current. Consideration of other well-established resonances in the same mass region, including the spin-5/2 resonances, $D_{15}(1675)$ and $F_{15}(1680)$, does not further improve the results qualitatively. For the reaction $π^- p \to n η$, the $P_{13}(1720)$ resonance is found to be important for reproducing the structure observed in the differential cross section data. Our model also improves the description of the reaction $NN \to NNη$ to a large extent compared to the earlier results by Nakayama \textit{et al.} [Phys.\ Rev.\ C \textbf{68}, 045201 (2003)]. For this reaction, we address two cases where either the $S_{11}(1535)$ or the $D_{13}$ dominates. Further improvement in the description of these reactions and the difficulty to uniquely determine the nucleon resonance parameters in the present type of analysis are discussed.

description: We compute sigma model solutions for rigidly rotating open strings suspended between giant gravitons in general LLM geometries. These solutions are confined to the LLM plane. These all have a dispersion relation for $Δ-J$ that is consistent with saturation of a BPS bound of the centrally extended spin chain. For the special case of circularly symmetric LLM geometries, we can further evaluate the amount of angular momentum $J$ carried by these strings. This quantity diverges for string configurations that try to move between different "coloring regions" in the LLM plane. All of these quantities have a perturbative expansion in the t'Hooft coupling. For the strings suspended between AdS giants, we can compute in field theory the leading result of $J$ carried by the string via an analytic continuation of the $SU(2)$ result, with the help of the Bethe Ansatz for the $SL(2)$ sector. We thus provide additional information on how the radial direction of $AdS$ arises from (open) spin chain calculations.

description: We consider settings where the observations are drawn from a zero-mean multivariate (real or complex) normal distribution with the population covariance matrix having eigenvalues of arbitrary multiplicity. We assume that the eigenvectors of the population covariance matrix are unknown and focus on inferential procedures that are based on the sample eigenvalues alone (i.e., "eigen-inference"). Results found in the literature establish the asymptotic normality of the fluctuation in the trace of powers of the sample covariance matrix. We develop concrete algorithms for analytically computing the limiting quantities and the covariance of the fluctuations. We exploit the asymptotic normality of the trace of powers of the sample covariance matrix to develop eigenvalue-based procedures for testing and estimation. Specifically, we formulate a simple test of hypotheses for the population eigenvalues and a technique for estimating the population eigenvalues in settings where the cumulative distribution function of the (nonrandom) population eigenvalues has a staircase structure. Monte Carlo simulations are used to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed methodologies over classical techniques and the robustness of the proposed techniques in high-dimensional, (relatively) small sample size settings. The improved performance results from the fact that the proposed inference procedures are "global" (in a sense that we describe) and exploit "global" information thereby overcoming the inherent biases that cripple classical inference procedures which are "local" and rely on "local" information.

description: Reliable spatial information can be difficult to obtain in planetary remote sensing applications because of errors present in the metadata of images taken with space probes. We have designed a pipeline to address this problem on disk-resolved images of Jupiter's moon Europa taken with New Horizons' LOng Range Reconnaissance Imager, Galileo's Solid State Imager and Voyager's Imaging Science Subsystem. We correct for errors in the spacecraft position, pointing and the target's attitude by comparing them to the same reference. We also address ways to correct for distortion prior to any metadata consideration. Finally, we propose a vectorized method to efficiently project images pixels onto an elliptic target and compute the coordinates and geometry of observation at each intercept point.
Politeness and the speech act of requesting in Japanese as a second language
Creators: name: Takezawa, Chieko

description: In recent years, studies of "interlanguage pragmatics" have been receiving more attention in second language research. Acquiring sociolinguistic competence, an important component of communicative competence, requires that L 2 learners of Japanese have knowledge of concepts such as politeness and face that are determined by Japanese social context Learners of Japanese must therefore learn how to use socially appropriate linguistic devices that are specific to the target culture in order to show politeness and save both hearers' and speakers' face. This case study examined how native Japanese speakers and native English speaking learners of Japanese approached and attained their request goals while maintaining the face of both requester and requestee. The following research questions were considered in this case study: 1)How do Japanese native speakers and English-speaking learners of Japanese attain their request goal while maintaining effective communication? 2) How do Japanese native speakers and English speaking learners of Japanese show politeness? 3)How do Japanese native speakers and English learners of Japanese react when their initial request is indirectly refused ? The speech data were collected through an oral role-play. The results showed that there was not much difference in the use of honorific language between the Japanese and learners of Japanese. However, different linguistic devices were used for sentence endings, especially request speech act endings, between the native Japanese and the learners of Japanese. Based on the raw tallies (without statistical analysis), it was found that the Japanese used more unfinished sentences and nominalizers while the learners of Japanese used more finished sentences and fewer nominalizers. The use of nominalizers and unfinished sentences might be sociolinguistic devices which function to reduce imposition and create feelings of mutual understanding.Differences were also found in the way that the native Japanese and learners of Japanese reacted when the requestee indirectly refused their initial request. The native Japanese made long pauses and waited for the requestee's suggestion or decision, while the learners of Japanese attempted to negotiate with the requestee immediately. Differences in perception of social variables such as relative status might have led to these different reactions. One pedagogical implication of the study is that learners of Japanese should be made aware of the functions of sociolinguistic devices such as nominalizers and clause particles as well as concepts (e. g., empathy and reserve) that are related to social variables that determine appropriate speech behavior in order to communicate more effectively with native speakers of Japanese.

description: We have used the Submillimeter Array for the first interferometric CO imaging toward the starburst-Seyfert nucleus of the southern barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365, which is one of the four galaxies within 30 Mpc that have L_{8-1000micron} >= 10^{11} Lsun. Our mosaic maps of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O (J=2-1) emission at up to 2" (200 pc) resolutions have revealed a circumnuclear gas ring and several CO clumps in the central 3 kpc. The molecular ring shows morphological and kinematical signs of bar-driven gas dynamics, and the region as a whole is found to follow the star formation laws of Kennicutt. We have found that some of the gas clumps and peaks in CO brightness temperature, which we collectively call CO hotspots, coincide with the radio and mid-infrared sources previously identified as dust-enshrouded super star clusters. This hotspot-cluster association suggests that either the formation of the most massive clusters took place in large molecular gas concentrations (of Sigma_{mol} ~10^{3} Msun/pc^2 in 200 pc scales) or the clusters have heated their ambient gas to cause or enhance the CO hotspots. The active nucleus is in the region of weak CO emission and is not associated with distinctive molecular gas properties.
