description: Η παρούσα εργασία έχει θέμα το κληρονομικό δικαίωμα του επιζώντος συζύγου. Σκοπός είναι να σχηματισθεί μια ολοκληρωμένη εικόνα των δικαιωμάτων που αποκτά ο επιζών σύζυγος στην κληρονομιαία περιουσία αλλά και να παρουσιαστούν οι συνθήκες εκείνες και οι τρόποι με τους οποίους μπορεί να αποκλεισθεί από την κληρονομική διαδοχή. Στα τρία πρώτα κεφάλαια μελετάται η θέση του συζύγου στην εξ αδιαθέτου, την αναγκαστική και την εκ διαθήκης κληρονομική διαδοχή. Την μελέτη διατρέχει το ζήτημα του συγκερασμού των αρχών της ελευθερίας του διατιθέναι και της προστασίας του γάμου που αποτελούν τους δύο πόλους στους οποίους στρέφεται το κληρονομικό δικαίωμα του συζύγου. Στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο το ενδιαφέρον εστιάζεται στην γέννηση και την άσκηση της αξίωσης συμμετοχής στα αποκτήματα όταν ο γάμος λύεται με τον θάνατο ενός εκ των συζύγων και στον τρόπο με τον οποίο συμπλέει με το κληρονομικό δικαίωμα του συζύγου που επιζεί, με ιδιαίτερη μνεία στις σχετικές ρυθμίσεις του Γερμανικού Δικαίου. Κλείνοντας, καθώς οι εναλλακτικές μορφές συμβίωσης βρίσκουν όλο και μεγαλύτερη αποδοχή, το πέμπτο κεφάλαιο αφιερώνεται στην προσπάθεια μιας συγκριτικής μελέτης των διατάξεων που ρυθμίζουν την κληρονομική διαδοχή μεταξύ των συμβίων και των αντίστοιχων διατάξεων του Αστικού Κώδικα που ισχύουν για τους συζύγους, ώστε να εντοπισθούν τα κοινά σημεία και οι διαφοροποιήσεις τους.
description: The present thesis has as its main subject the matter of the inherited right of the surviving spouse. It aims is to contribute to the shaping of a fuller picture of the rights that the surviving spouse acquires with regard to the decesased estate, but also, to present the conditions and the ways in which one can be excluded from the inheritance succession. In the first three chapters the position of the spouse in the intestate, compulsory and testate successions is studied. The question of the combination of the principles of the liberty to dispose and the protection of marriage, which are the two poles to which the spouse's inheritance right is directed, runs through this study. In the fourth chapter the focus is on the birth and exercise of the claim to a share from the acquisitions when the marriage is dissolved by the death of one of the spouses, and in the way in which it coincides with the inherited right of the surviving spouse, with particular reference to the relevant provisions of German law. Concludingly, as alternative forms of cohabitation are met with an ever more widespread acceptance, the fifth chapter is devoted to the attempt at a comparative study of the provisions governing inheritance succession between civil union partners and the corresponding provisions of the Civil Code which are applicable to spouses, in order to identify their common points and differences.

description: The benefits of smoothing demand peaks in the electricity market has been widely recognised. European countries such Spain and some of the Scandinavian countries have recently given to the consumers the possibility to face the spot prices instead of having a fixed tariffs determined by retailers. This paper develops a theoretical model to study the relations between risk averse consumers, retailers and producers, both in the spot and in the forward markets when consumers are able to choose between fixed tariffs and the wholesale prices. The model is calibrated on a real market case - Spain - where since 2014 spot tariffs were introduced beside the flat tariffs for household consumers. Finally, simulations of agents behavior and markets performance, depending on consumers risk aversion and the number of producers, are used to analyse the implications from the model. Our results show that the quantities the retailers and the producers trade in the forward market are positively related with the loss aversion of consumers. The quantities bought by the retailers in the forward market are negatively related with the skewness of the spot prices. On the contrary, quantity sold forward by producers are positively related with the skewness of the spot prices (high probability of getting high prices increase the forward sale) and with the total market demand. In the spot market, the degree of loss aversion of consumers determine the quantity the retailers buy in the spot market but does not have a direct effect on the spot prices.

description: We study the effects of granting an exit option that enables the private party to early terminate a PPP project if it turns out to be loss-making. In a continuous time setting with hidden information about stochastic operating profits, we show that a revenue-maximizing government can optimally trade-off direct subsidies for capital investment against the right of opting out the PPP. In particular, the exit option, acting as a risk-sharing device, can soften agency problems and increase the value-for-money of public spending, even while taking into account the budgetary resources needed to resume the project in the event of early termination by the contractor.

description: In this paper, a regression model is developed to estimate attribute reliability in the evidential reasoning (ER) context. By analysing the difference between attribute weight and attribute reliability, a general qualitative definition of attribute reliability is provided. The reliability of an attribute is quantitatively measured in consistence with the qualitative definition in the context of the ER approach. A regression model is then constructed to generate attribute reliabilities by minimising the maximum differences between the real value of attribute reliability and its estimation. Within the post-optimal solution space of attribute reliabilities, an optimisation model is constructed to determine the expected utilities of each alternative in order to generate solutions to multiple attribute decision analysis problems. A sale place selection problem in Qingyang County of Chizhou in Anhui province of China is analysed using the proposed regression model to demonstrate its detailed implementation process, validity and applicability.
Surveying the Giant HII Regions of the Milky Way with SOFIA: II. M17

description: We present our second set of results from our mid-infrared imaging survey of Milky Way Giant HII regions. We used the FORCAST instrument on the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy to obtain 20 and 37$μ$m images of the central ~10'X10' area of M17. We investigate the small- and large-scale properties of M17 using our data in conjunction with previous multi-wavelength observations. The spectral energy distributions of individual compact sources were constructed with Spitzer-IRAC, SOFIA-FORCAST, and Herschel-PACS photometry data and fitted with massive young stellar object (MYSO) models. Seven sources were found to match the criteria for being MYSO candidates, four of which are identified here for the first time, and the stellar mass of the most massive object, UC1, is determined to be 64 solar mass. We resolve the extended mid-infrared emission from the KW Object, and suggest that the angle of this extended emission is influenced by outflow. IRS5 is shown to decrease in brightness as a function of wavelength from the mid- to far-infrared, and has several other indicators that point to it being an intermediate mass Class II object and not a MYSO. We find that the large-scale appearance of emission in M17 at 20$μ$m is significantly affected by contamination from the [SIII] emission line from the ionized gas of the Giant HII region. Finally, a number of potential evolutionary tracers yield a consistent picture suggesting that the southern bar of M17 is likely younger than the northern bar.

Orbital Approximation for the Reduced Bloch Equations: Fermi-Dirac Distribution for Interacting Fermions and Hartree-Fock Equation at Finite Temperature

description: In this paper, we solve a set of hierarchy equations for the reduced statistical density operator in a grand canonical ensemble for an identical many-body fermion system without or with two-body interaction. We take the single-particle approximation, and obtain an eigen-equation for the single-particle states. For the case of no interaction, it is an eigen-equation for the free particles, and solutions are therefore the plane waves. For the case with two-body interaction, however, it is an equation which is the extension of usual Hartre-Fock equation at zero temperature to the case of any finite temperature. The average occupation number for the single-particle states with mean field interaction is also obtained, which has the same Fermi-Dirac distribution from as that for the free fermion gas. The derivation demonstrates that even for an interacting fermion system, only the lowest $N$ orbitals, where $N$ is the number of particles, are occupied at zero temperature. In addition, their practical applications in such fields as studying the temperature effects on the average structure and electronic spectra for macromolecules are discussed.

Fundamental limitations on "warp drive" spacetimes

description: "Warp drive" spacetimes are useful as "gedanken-experiments" that force us to confront the foundations of general relativity, and among other things, to precisely formulate the notion of "superluminal" communication. We verify the non-perturbative violation of the classical energy conditions of the Alcubierre and Natario warp drive spacetimes and apply linearized gravity to the weak-field warp drive, testing the energy conditions to first and second order of the non-relativistic warp-bubble velocity. We are primarily interested in a secondary feature of the warp drive that has not previously been remarked upon, if it could be built, the warp drive would be an example of a "reaction-less drive". For both the Alcubierre and Natario warp drives we find that the occurrence of significant energy condition violations is not just a high-speed effect, but that the violations persist even at arbitrarily low speeds. An interesting feature of this construction is that it is now meaningful to place a finite mass spaceship at the center of the warp bubble, and compare the warp field energy with the mass-energy of the spaceship. There is no hope of doing this in Alcubierre's original version of the warp-field, since by definition the point in the center of the warp bubble moves on a geodesic and is "massless". That is, in Alcubierre's original formalism and in the Natario formalism the spaceship is always treated as a test particle, while in the linearized theory we can treat the spaceship as a finite mass object. For both the Alcubierre and Natario warp drives we find that even at low speeds the net (negative) energy stored in the warp fields must be a significant fraction of the mass of the spaceship.

description: Η ποιότητα της σχέσης νηπιαγωγού- παιδιού και γονέα- παιδιού είναι μείζονος σημασίας για την ολόπλευρη ανάπτυξη του παιδιού και τη μετέπειτα πορεία του. Ιδιαίτερα σημαντικές είναι οι σχέσεις προσκόλλησης που έχει αναπτύξει το παιδί μαζί τους, καθώς συμβάλλουν σημαντικά στη διαμόρφωση της προσωπικότητάς του και στην προσαρμογή του κατά την είσοδο του στο σχολείο. Η εργασία αυτή διερευνά τις αντιλήψεις των νηπιαγωγών και των γονέων για το προφίλ και τα χαρακτηριστικά των συναισθηματικά εξαρτημένων παιδιών. Για το λόγο αυτό κατασκευάστηκαν δύο νέα εργαλεία μέτρησης, η Κλίμακα Αντιλήψεων Εκπαιδευτικού για Συμπεριφορά Προσκολλημένου Παιδιού (ΚΑΕΓΣΠΠ) και η Κλίμακα Αντιλήψεων Γονέα για Συμπεριφορά Προσκολλημένου Παιδιού (ΚΑΓΓΣΠΠ) με σκοπό να εξετάσουν τις αντιλήψεις τους για τις συμπεριφορές προσκόλλησης του παιδιού. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε με την προώθηση ηλεκτρονικού ερωτηματολογίου και τα ερευνητικά δεδομένα συλλέχθηκαν από 135 νηπιαγωγούς και 174 γονείς (N= 309). Πραγματοποιήθηκαν αναλύσεις περιγραφικής και επαγωγικής στατιστικής για τον έλεγχο της αξιοπιστίας και της εγκυρότητας των μετρήσεων. Επιπλέον, η Ιεραρχική ανάλυση (Cluster Analysis) ανέδειξε τρεις κατηγορίες-διαστάσεις των έντονα προσκολλημένων παιδιών, την Ασφαλή Προσκόλληση, την Εξάρτηση και τη Λειτουργική Προσκόλληση.
description: The quality of teacher- child relationship and parent child- relationship is an important factor for child’s social and emotional development and later achievements. Especially, when children enter in the school, the attachment relationships which have developed with adults from infancy, contribute importantly to their personality and school adjustment. The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers’ and parents’ perceptions about the profile and characteristics of attached child. For this reason, two new measurements constructed, the “Teacher Perceptions about the Behavior of Attached Child Scale- TPBACS” and “Parent Perceptions about the Behavior of Attached Child Scale- PPBACS” so as to assess their perceptions about the kind of child attachment behaviors. The present research was carried out online via online questionnaire. Data were collected from 135 preschool teachers and 174 parents (N=309). The descriptive and inferential statistics analyzes, calculated to check the reliability and validity of the measurements. Additionally, Cluster Analysis revealed three categories-dimensions for intensely attached children, Safe Attachment, Dependency and Operating Attachment.

description: Trap models are intuitively appealing and often solvable models of glassy dynamics. In particular, they have been used to study aging and the resulting out-of-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relations between correlations and response functions. In this note I show briefly that one such relation, first given by Bouchaud and Dean, is valid for a general class of mean-field trap models: it relies only on the way a perturbation affects the transition rates, but is independent of the distribution of trap depths and the form of the unperturbed transition rates, and holds for all observables that are uncorrelated with the energy. The model with Glauber dynamics and an exponential distribution of trap depths, as considered by Barrat and Mezard, does not fall into this class if the perturbation is introduced in the standard way by shifting all trap energies. I show that a similar relation between response and correlation nevertheless holds for the out-of-equilibrium dynamics at low temperatures. The results point to intriguing parallels between trap models with energetic and entropic barriers.

description: In this paper, we propose a new deep architecture for fusing camera and LiDAR sensors for 3D object detection. Because the camera and LiDAR sensor signals have different characteristics and distributions, fusing these two modalities is expected to improve both the accuracy and robustness of 3D object detection. One of the challenges presented by the fusion of cameras and LiDAR is that the spatial feature maps obtained from each modality are represented by significantly different views in the camera and world coordinates; hence, it is not an easy task to combine two heterogeneous feature maps without loss of information. To address this problem, we propose a method called 3D-CVF that combines the camera and LiDAR features using the cross-view spatial feature fusion strategy. First, the method employs auto-calibrated projection, to transform the 2D camera features to a smooth spatial feature map with the highest correspondence to the LiDAR features in the bird's eye view (BEV) domain. Then, a gated feature fusion network is applied to use the spatial attention maps to mix the camera and LiDAR features appropriately according to the region. Next, camera-LiDAR feature fusion is also achieved in the subsequent proposal refinement stage. The camera feature is used from the 2D camera-view domain via 3D RoI grid pooling and fused with the BEV feature for proposal refinement. Our evaluations, conducted on the KITTI and nuScenes 3D object detection datasets demonstrate that the camera-LiDAR fusion offers significant performance gain over single modality and that the proposed 3D-CVF achieves state-of-the-art performance in the KITTI benchmark.

Capital Accumulation, GreeParadox, and Stranded Assets: An Endogenous Growth Perspective

description: The existing studies on Green Paradox and stranded assets focus on dirty exhaustible assets (fossil fuel reserves) and show that environmental regulations, by changing the costs of dirty inputs relative to clean ones, lead to replacements of the former by the latter and stranding of dirty assets due to perfect substitution. It, in turn, induces acceleration of dirty resource extractions and pollution emissions for fear of dirty assets becoming stranded - the Green Paradox effect. This paper uses an endogenous growth framework to revisit the problem of Green Paradox and stranded assets by taking a new perspective that focuses on capital accumulation with investment irreversibility. We show that if 1) direct irreversibility of investment does not rule out the indirect channel of converting dirty capital goods into clean ones through final goods allocations, and 2) interactions between dirty and clean capital as imperfect substitutes can generate reciprocal effects, then environmental regulation, through directing investment towards clean capital, does not necessarily leads to asset stranding of dirty capital. Accumulation of clean capital with a pollution-saving effect offsets the polluting impact of dirty one and leads to reversed Green Paradox. We further propose an endogenous growth mechanism through which the accumulation of both dirty and clean capital, as well as environmental improvement, can be sustained in the long run without converging to the steady state.

description: The standard theory of pulsations deals with the frequencies and growth rates of infinitesimal perturbations in a stellar model. Modes which are calculated to be linearly driven should increase their amplitudes exponentially with time; the fact that nearly constant amplitudes are usually observed is evidence that nonlinear mechanisms inhibit the growth of finite amplitude pulsations. Models predict that the mass of convection zones in pulsating hydrogen-atmosphere (DAV) white dwarfs is very sensitive to temperature (i.e., $M_{\rm CZ} \propto T_{\rm eff}^{-90}$), leading to the possibility that even low-amplitude pulsators may experience significant nonlinear effects. In particular, the outer turning point of finite-amplitude g-mode pulsations can vary with the local surface temperature, producing a reflected wave that is out of phase with what is required for a standing wave. This can lead to a lack of coherence of the mode and a reduction in its global amplitude. In this paper we show that: (1) whether a mode is calculated to propagate to the base of the convection zone is an accurate predictor of its width in the Fourier spectrum, (2) the phase shifts produced by reflection from the outer turning point are large enough to produce significant damping, and (3) amplitudes and periods are predicted to increase from the blue edge to the middle of the instability strip, and subsequently decrease as the red edge is approached. This amplitude decrease is in agreement with the observational data while the period decrease has not yet been systematically studied.

description: One of the most striking observations made by Parker Solar Probe during its first solar encounter is the omnipresence of rapid polarity reversals in a magnetic field that is otherwise mostly radial. These so-called switchbacks strongly affect the dynamics of the magnetic field. We concentrate here on their macroscopic properties. First, we find that these structures are self-similar, and have neither a characteristic magnitude, nor a characteristic duration. Their waiting time statistics shows evidence for aggregation. The associated long memory resides in their occurrence rate, and is not inherent to the background fluctuations. Interestingly, the spectral properties of inertial range turbulence differ inside and outside of switchback structures; in the latter the $1/f$ range extends to higher frequencies. These results suggest that outside of these structures we are in the presence of lower amplitude fluctuations with a shorter turbulent inertial range. We conjecture that these correspond to a pristine solar wind.

description: Upon discussion of price setting on electricity wholesale markets, many refer to the so-called merit order model. Conventional wisdom holds that during most hours of the year, coal- or natural gas-fired power plants set the price on European markets. In this context, this paper analyses price setting on European power markets. We use a fundamental electricity market model of interconnected bidding zones to determine hourly price-setting technologies for the year 2020. We find a price-setting pattern that is more complex and nuanced than the conventional wisdom suggests: across all researched countries, coal- and natural gas-fired power plants set the price for only 40 per cent of all hours. Other power generation technologies such as wind, biomass, hydro and nuclear power plants as well as lignite-fired plants set the price during the rest of the year. On some markets, the price setting is characterised by a high level of interconnectivity and thus foreign influence – as illustrated by the example of the Netherlands. During some 75 per cent of hours, foreign power plants set the price on the Dutch market, whilst price setting in other more isolated markets is barely affected by foreign markets. Hence, applying the price setting analysis to the proposed Dutch carbon price floor, we show that different carbon prices have little effect on the technological structure of the price-setting units. In this respect, the impacts of the unilateral initiative are limited. There are, however, considerable changes to be observed in wholesale power prices, import/export balances as well as production volumes and subsequent CO2 outputs of lignite-, coal- and gas-fired power plants.

description: The ability to estimate rich geometry and camera motion from monocular imagery is fundamental to future interactive robotics and augmented reality applications. Different approaches have been proposed that vary in scene geometry representation (sparse landmarks, dense maps), the consistency metric used for optimising the multi-view problem, and the use of learned priors. We present a SLAM system that unifies these methods in a probabilistic framework while still maintaining real-time performance. This is achieved through the use of a learned compact depth map representation and reformulating three different types of errors: photometric, reprojection and geometric, which we make use of within standard factor graph software. We evaluate our system on trajectory estimation and depth reconstruction on real-world sequences and present various examples of estimated dense geometry.

Teaching about controversial issues in Food Studies 12 : a self-study action research project
Creators: name: Denham, Cara
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This self-study, action research project explores three teaching strategies for teaching controversial topics with Foods Studies 12 students. My interest in this research stemmed from a desire to improve my teaching in order to help students consider controversial issues critically from a variety of perspectives and make decisions based on logical and rational evidence. I chose three specific strategies to pair with the teaching of three different controversial topics. The strategies were debate, structured academic controversy (SAC), and Socratic circles. Each of the strategies allowed me to facilitate the learning about the controversial topic with increased confidence and effectiveness. With the proper preparation, each of these strategies allowed me to provide students with opportunities to think critically about controversial topics from multiple perspectives. After using debate, SAC, and Socratic circles, I believe these strategies helped me improve my teaching by providing students with active, student-centered, problem based learning conditions that encouraged critical thinking about controversial issues.

description: A precise estimation of the computational complexity in Shor's factoring algorithm under the condition that the large integer we want to factorize is composed by the product of two prime numbers, is derived by the results related to number theory. Compared with Shor's original estimation, our estimation shows that one can obtain the solution under such a condition, by less computational complexity.

AGRICULTURAL AND RURAL DATA SERIES B

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1977
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: To overcome obsolescence of data, a series of papers dealing with the conceptual and operational foundations of major data systems was commissioned by the Economic Statistics Committee of the American Agricultural Economics Association in conjunction with the Statistical Reporting Service, Economic Research Service and Agricultural Marketing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These papers were presented and discussed extensively at an Agricultural and Rural Data Workshop held in Washington, D.C., May 4-6, 1977. Papers were subsequently revised and are being published in the two Series in which they were organized. Papers prepared by teams in Series B (Gaylord Worden, leader) on Indicators of Economic Well-being of People Engaged in Farming, and Data for Farm and Rural Employment are contained in this publication . Papers prepared by teams in Series A (W.E. Kibler, leader) on Price Reporting, and the Capacity of the Food and Fiber Systems are contained in a separate publication. The papers deserve much study--they were carefully prepared by professionals highly qualified to deal with the conceptual and operational issues in data systems where series data gaps and obsolescence are prominent. The papers will be little more than an academic exercise unless recommendations are used by administrators and policymakers to improve the respective data systems which they address. Many of the recommendations can be implemented with little or no additional resources. In cases where additional funds are required, it is the teams' judgments that the additional resources required will provide benefits to users in excess of costs.
