description: Introduction: Although most countries and healthcare systems worldwide have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, some groups of the population may be more vulnerable to detrimental effects of the pandemic on mental health than others. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesise evidence currently available from systematic reviews on the impact of COVID-19 and other coronavirus outbreaks on mental health for groups of the population thought to be at increased risk of detrimental mental health impacts. Materials and methods: We conducted a systematic review of reviews on adults and children residing in a country affected by a coronavirus outbreak and belonging to a group considered to be at risk of experiencing mental health inequalities. Data were collected on symptoms or diagnoses of any mental health condition, quality of life, suicide or attempted suicide. The protocol for this systematic review was registered in the online PROSPERO database prior to commencing the review (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=194264). Results: We included 25 systematic reviews. Most reviews included primary studies of hospital workers from multiple countries. Reviews reported variable estimates for the burden of symptoms of mental health problems among acute healthcare workers, COVID-19 patients with physical comorbidities, and children and adolescents. No evaluations of interventions were identified. Risk- and protective factors, mostly for healthcare workers, showed the importance of personal factors, the work environment, and social networks for mental health. Conclusions: This review of reviews based on primary studies conducted in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic shows a lack of evidence on mental health interventions and mental health impacts on vulnerable groups in the population.
Relational Quadrilateralland. II. The Quantum Theory

description: This paper provides the quantum treatment of the relational quadrilateral. The underlying reduced configuration spaces are $\mathbb{CP}^2$ and the cone over this, C($\mathbb{CP}^2$). We consider exact free and isotropic HO potential cases and perturbations about these. Moreover, our purely relational kinematical quantization is distinct from the usual one for $\mathbb{CP}^2$, which turns out to carry absolutist connotations instead. Thus this paper is the first to note absolute-versus-relational motion distinctions at the kinematical rather than dynamical level, and also an example of value to the discussion of kinematical quantization along the lines of Isham 1984. This treatment of the relational quadrilateral is the first relational QM with very new mathematics for a finite QM model, and is far more typical of the general quantum relational $N$-a-gon than the previously-studied case of the relational triangle. We consider useful integrals as regards perturbation theory and the peaking interpretation of quantum cosmology. We subsequently consider problem of time applications of this: quantum Kuchař beables, the Machian version of the semiclassical approach and the timeless naive Schrodinger interpretation. These go toward extending the combined Machian semiclassical-histories-timeless approach of [1] to the case of the quadrilateral, which will be treated in subsequent papers.

description: Η τελευταία αναθεώρηση της Κοινής Αγροτικής Πολιτικής (ΚΑΠ) της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης (ΕΕ) επέφερε αλλαγές τόσο στη διαδικασία λήψης αποφάσεων όσο και στα μέτρα που χρησιμοποιεί. Παράλληλα με την ΚΑΠ, αρμοδιότητα της ΕΕ είναι και η ανάσχεση της απώλειας της αγροβιοποικιλότητας και η διατήρησή της σε όσο το δυνατόν υψηλότερα επίπεδα. Στην παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή διατριβή παρουσιάζεται η αναθεωρημένη ΚΑΠ, τα βασικά σημεία της, οι στόχοι της και οι αλλαγές που εμπεριέχει. Ακόμα, αναλύεται το ισχύον διεθνές νομικό πλαίσιο που αφορά τη βιοποικιλότητα και την αγροβιοποικιλότητα, ώστε να γίνουν κατανοητές οι βάσεις στις οποίες στηρίχτηκε η νέα ΚΑΠ. Τέλος, προσεγγίζεται κριτικά και το αντίστοιχο ενωσιακό δίκαιο με εμβάθυνση στους στόχους, τη νομοθεσία και τη στρατηγική της ΕΕ. Αποκτώντας λοιπόν μια σαφή εικόνα της πορείας που χαράζει η ΕΕ
σε επίπεδο Κοινής Αγροτικής Πολιτικής και σε επίπεδο αγροβιοποικιλότητας, εξετάζεται εάν η πορεία αυτή είναι κοινή ή όχι, δηλαδή εάν αποκλίνει ή συγκλίνει.
description: The latest revision of the European Union’s (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) brought changes both in the decision-making process but also to the actions imposed by it. In parallel with the CAP, EU's goal is to halt the loss of agrobiodiversity and maintain it at the highest level possible. This thesis presents the reformed CΑP, the main points, the objectives and the modifications it introduces. Furthermore, the current international legal framework in being analyzed concerning the biodiversity and agrobiodiversity, in order to make clear the foundations on which the new CAP was based. Finally, the corresponding EU law is being critically approached via deepening into the objectives, legislation and the EU Strategy. Thus, having a more clear idea of the way that the EU sets out the Common Agricultural Policy and the agrobiodiversity preservation, it is questioned whether this way has a common course, whether this course diverges or converges.

description: Genebanks constitute the substantiated evidence of multidimensional value of Genetic Resources (GRs). Their various activities and the role that they maintain strengthen existing and potential value, that GRs perform through their use. As guarantors of safe conservation of GRs and all information, which is associated with them, they undertake increased responsibilities and obligations. They perform actions with final purpose the legal access and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from their use. A new philosophy is required to regulate Genebanks operations and procedures, challenging the national legislator to fill gaps and to adopt practices in harmonisation with international legislative developments and specialized technological applications based on biology and biotechnology sciences. Genebanks acquire a strategic role in conservation and sustainable use of GRs as well as in the protection of biodiversity. The establishment of a simple, clear and cohesive regulatory framework constitutes the essential requirement for the protection of our country's national capital.

description: Laminated glass structures are formed by stiff layers of glass connected with a compliant plastic interlayer. Due to their slenderness and heterogeneity, they exhibit a complex mechanical response that is difficult to capture by single-layer models even in the elastic range. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an efficient and reliable finite element approach to the simulation of the immediate response of laminated glass beams. It proceeds from a refined plate theory due to Mau (1973), as we treat each layer independently and enforce the compatibility by the Lagrange multipliers. At the layer level, we adopt the finite-strain shear deformable formulation of Reissner (1972) and the numerical framework by Ibrahimbegović and Frey (1993). The resulting system is solved by the Newton method with consistent linearization. By comparing the model predictions against available experimental data, analytical methods and two-dimensional finite element simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed formulation is reliable and provides accuracy comparable to the detailed two-dimensional finite element analyzes. As such, it offers a convenient basis to incorporate more refined constitutive description of the interlayer.

description: Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is prevalent in intensive dairy farms in Ethiopia. Vaccination could be an alternative control approach given the socio-economic challenges of a test-and-slaughter control strategy. The efficacy of the BCG was evaluated on 40 Holstein-Friesian (HF) and zebu crossbred calves recruited from single intradermal cervical comparative tuberculin (SICCT) test negative herds and randomly allocated into two groups. Twenty-two calves were vaccinated within 2 weeks of age, and 18 were kept as a control. Six weeks post-vaccination, the two groups were exposed and kept mixed with known SICCT test positive cows for 1 year. Immune responses were monitored by interferon gamma (IFN-γ) release assay (IGRA), SICCT test, and antibody assay. Vaccinated calves developed strong responses to the SICCT test at the sixth week post-vaccination, but did not respond to ESAT-6/CFP-10 peptide antigen-based IGRA. During the exposure, IFN-γ response to the specific peptide cocktail [F(2.44, 92.67) = 26.96; p < 0.001] and skin reaction to the specific proteins cocktail [F(1.7, 64.3); p < 0.001] increased progressively in both groups while their antibody responses were low. The prevalence of bTB was 88.9% (95% CI: 65.3–98.6) and 63.6% (95% CI: 40.7–83.8) in the control and vaccinated calves, respectively, based on Mycobacterium bovis isolation, giving a direct protective efficacy estimate of 28.4% (95% CI: −2.7 to 50.1). The proportion of vaccinated calves with lesion was 7.0% (34/484) against 11.4% (45/396) in control calves, representing a 38% (95% CI: 5.8–59.4) reduction of lesion prevalence. Besides, the severity of pathology was significantly lower (Mann–Whitney U-test, p < 0.05) in vaccinated (median score = 2.0, IQR = 0–4.75) than in control (median score = 5, IQR = 3.0–6.25) calves. Moreover, survival from M. bovis infection in vaccinated calves was significantly (log-rank test: χ2 = 6.749, p < 0.01) higher than that of the control calves. In conclusion, the efficacy of BCG was low, but the reduced frequency and severity of lesion in vaccinated calves could suggest its potential role in containing onward transmission.

description: Background: Ataxias represent a challenging group of disorders due to significant clinical overlap. Here, we present a patient with early-onset progressive ataxia, polyneuropathy and discuss how elevation of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) narrows the differential diagnosis. Case report: Ataxia, polyneuropathy, and mild elevation of AFP are features compatible with ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2) but also with ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 4 (AOA4). A genetic analysis demonstrated biallelic mutations in senataxin (SETX), confirming the diagnosis of AOA2. Discussion: Mild elevation of AFP is found in patients with AOA2 and AOA4, and higher levels are commonly seen in ataxia-telangiectasia. AFP is a useful diagnostic tool but not a biomarker for disease progression in AOA2.

Viterbi training in PRISM

description: VT (Viterbi training), or hard EM, is an efficient way of parameter learning for probabilistic models with hidden variables. Given an observation $y$, it searches for a state of hidden variables $x$ that maximizes $p(x,y \mid θ)$ by coordinate ascent on parameters $θ$ and $x$. In this paper we introduce VT to PRISM, a logic-based probabilistic modeling system for generative models. VT improves PRISM in three ways. First VT in PRISM converges faster than EM in PRISM due to the VT's termination condition. Second, parameters learned by VT often show good prediction performance compared to those learned by EM. We conducted two parsing experiments with probabilistic grammars while learning parameters by a variety of inference methods, i.e.\ VT, EM, MAP and VB. The result is that VT achieved the best parsing accuracy among them in both experiments. Also we conducted a similar experiment for classification tasks where a hidden variable is not a prediction target unlike probabilistic grammars. We found that in such a case VT does not necessarily yield superior performance. Third since VT always deals with a single probability of a single explanation, Viterbi explanation, the exclusiveness condition that is imposed on PRISM programs is no more required if we learn parameters by VT. Last but not least we can say that as VT in PRISM is general and applicable to any PRISM program, it largely reduces the need for the user to develop a specific VT algorithm for a specific model. Furthermore since VT in PRISM can be used just by setting a PRISM flag appropriately, it makes VT easily accessible to (probabilistic) logic programmers.

description: Background: Paraneoplastic chorea is typically a subacute progressive hyperkinetic movement disorder. The mainstay of treatment is managing the underlying neoplasm. However, the clinical course may be variable, and effective symptomatic management can precede the start of cancer treatment. Case report: A 63-year-old man presented with insidious onset, slowly progressive generalized chorea for 1 year, later diagnosed as anti-CV2/CRMP5 autoantibody positive paraneoplastic chorea. His chorea was markedly improved with intravenous amantadine. Discussion: In patients with anti-CV2/CRMP5 autoantibody-related chorea, sequential follow-up of brain magnetic resonance imaging reveals progression from active inflammation to atrophy. Our report highlights the efficacy of intravenous amantadine in paraneoplastic chorea.

description: Οι πηγές της περιοχής Τεμενίων είναι οι μόνες πηγές σε όλη τη Δυτική Κρήτη που έχουν αναγνωριστεί και λειτουργήσει ως ιστορικά ιαματικές πηγές με το Βασιλικό Διάταγμα της 31ης Αυγούστου 1957, αν και από τότε το νομοθετικό πλαίσιο έχει αλλάξει. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία, ασχολήθηκε με τη γεωλογική και την υδροχημική ανάλυση των πηγών Μέσα Χωριό και Τζανουδιανά στην ευρύτερη περιοχή Τεμενίων. Όσον αφορά στο γεωλογικό περίγραμμα της περιοχής μελέτης, εργασίες πεδίου έδειξαν ότι οι δύο κύριες πηγές φιλοξενούνται εντός των μεταμορφωμένων πετρωμάτων του Φυλλιτικού Καλύμματος. Αν και στην ευρύτερη περιοχή υπάρχουν σε πολλές θέσεις εναλλαγές σχιστολίθων με μεταεβαπορίτες η χημική σύσταση των πηγών δεν επηρεάζεται από αυτούς. Τα δείγματα που λήφθηκαν σε τρεις δειγματοληψίες που πραγματοποιήθηκαν στις πηγές κατά την διάρκεια δύο υγρών και μιας ξηρής περιόδου επέτρεψαν τον καθορισμό των φυσικοχημικών χαρακτηριστικών τους. Οι άμεσες μετρήσεις θερμοκρασιών επιτρέπουν την ταξινόμηση των πηγών ως υπόθερμων. Με βάση τα αποτελέσματα που προέκυψαν από λεπτομερείς αναλύσεις κύριων ιόντων και ιχνοστοιχείων των υδάτων των πηγών στις τρείς διαφορετικές περιόδους και με βάση την θέση κατανομής των διαφόρων ιόντων στα εμπειρικά υδροχημικά διαγράμματα, τα ιστορικώς ιαματικά ύδατα των πηγών χαρακτηρίζονται ελαφρώς όξινα, Na-Ca-Mg-Cl-HCO3 τύπου και  με μικρές συγκεντρώσεις ολικά διαλυμένων ιόντων (TDS), γεγονός που τα κάνει κατάλληλα για δίαιτα πτωχή σε νάτριο. Σε αντίθεση με την πλειονότητα των ιαματικών υδάτων που χαρακτηρίζονται από αυξημένα TDSκαι για αυτόν το λόγο χαρακτηρίζονται ως μεταλλικά νερά, τα νερά από την περιοχή Τεμενίων στηρίζουν τις ιαματικές τους ιδιότητες στο γεγονός ότι είναι ολιγομεταλλικά, δηλαδή περιέχουν λιγότερα διαλυμένα άλατα. Λόγω αυτών των χημικών χαρακτηριστικών συγκρίθηκαν διαλυτότητες συγκεκριμένων αλάτων των νερών των πηγών Τεμενίων με τις ποσότητες που περιέχονται σε νερό, που θεωρητικά πρέπει να καταναλώνει ο άνθρωπος ημερησίως και στο νερό που καταναλώνει στη πραγματικότητα ο μέσος άνθρωπος.  Εκτός αυτών έγινε επίσης σύγκριση των ποσοτήτων των διαλυμένων κύριων ιόντων με κύρια ιόντα εμφιαλωμένων νερών από διάφορες πηγές της Κρήτης και των ιστορικά ιαματικών νερών των πηγών Μέσα Χωριό και Τζανουδιανά και εξήχθησαν χρήσιμα συμπεράσματα.

description: The chapter approaches the book in Arabic script as the indispensable means for the transmission of knowledge across Eurasia and Africa, within cultures and across cultural boundaries, since the seventh century ad. The state of research can be divided into manuscript and print studies, but there is not yet a history of the book in Arabic script that captures its plurilinear development for over fourteen hundred years. The chapter explores the conceptual and practical challenges that impede the integration of the book in Arabic script into book history at large and includes an extensive reference list that reflects its diversity. The final published version was slightly updated, and includes seven illustrations of six Qurans from the holdings of Columbia University Libraries, four manuscripts and two printed versions. Moreover, the illustrations are images of historical artifacts which are in the public domain - despite Wiley's copyright claim.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αναφέρεται στο χαρακτηρισμό και την διαχείριση στερεών αποβλήτων τα οποία καθιζάνουν σε χώρους αποθήκευσης πετρελαίου.
Ειδικότερα έγινε αναλυτικός χαρακτηρισμός των φυσικοχημικών ιδιοτήτων του αποβλήτου, το οποίο αποτελεί υπόλειμμα από δεξαμενές αποθήκευσης καυσίμου αργού πετρελαίου, καθαρισμού σωληνώσεων εγκαταστάσεων και πλοίων. Παρουσιάζονται οι διεργασίες στη βιομηχανία πετρελαίου, τα παραγόμενα προϊόντα, τα είδη των αποβλήτων που προκύπτουν από τις διεργασίες αυτές και ειδικότερα οι πετρελαιοειδείς λάσπες του πυθμένα δεξαμενών.
Εξετάζεται η δυνατότητα χρήσης των αποβλήτων αυτών ως ασφαλτικά πρόσθετα σε εναλλακτικά ασφαλτομίγματα και ως εναλλακτικά καύσιμα στην τσιμεντοβιομηχανία.

description: We theoretically study the electronic transport properties of Dirac fermions through one and double triangular barriers in graphene. Using the transfer matrix method, we determine the transmission, conductance and Fano factor. They are obtained to be various parameters dependent such as well width, barrier height and barrier width. Therefore, different discussions are given and comparison with the previous significant works is done. In particular, it is shown that at Dirac point the Dirac fermions always own a minimum conductance associated with a maximum Fano factor and change their behaviors in an oscillatory way (irregularly periodical tunneling peaks) when the potential of applied voltage is increased.

The metals-to-dust ratio to very low metallicities using GRB and QSO absorbers; extremely rapid dust formation

description: Among the key parameters defining the ISM of galaxies is the fraction of the metals that are locked up in dust: the metals-to-dust ratio. This ratio bears not only on the ISM and its evolution, but particularly on the origin of cosmic dust. We combine extinction and abundance data from GRB afterglows, from QSO absorbers, as well as from galaxy-lensed QSOs, to determine the metals-to-dust ratios for lines-of-sight through a wide diversity of galaxies from blue, dwarf starbursts to massive ellipticals, across a vast range in redshift z=0.1-6.3, and nearly three orders of magnitude in column density and metal abundance. We thus determine the metals-to-dust ratio in a unique way, providing direct determinations of in situ gas and dust columns without recourse to assumptions with large uncertainties. We find that the metals-to-dust ratios in these systems are surprisingly close to the value for the local group (10^{21.3} cm-2 A_V mag-1), with a mean value of 10^{21.2} cm-2 A_V mag-1 and a standard deviation of 0.3 dex. There is no evidence of deviation from this mean ratio as a function of metallicity, even down to our lowest metallicity of 0.01 Z/Z_sun. The lack of any obvious dependence of the metals-to-dust ratio on either column density, galaxy type or age, redshift, or metallicity indicates a close correspondence between the formation of the metals and the formation of dust. Any delay between the formation of metals and dust must be shorter than the typical metal-enrichment times of these galaxies. Formation of the bulk of the dust in low mass stars is therefore ruled out by these data at any cosmic epoch. Furthermore, dust destruction must not dominate over formation/growth in virtually any galaxy environment. The correlation between metals and dust is a natural consequence of the formation of the bulk of dust in SNe [Abridged].

Epidemic threshold in directed networks

description: Epidemics have so far been mostly studied in undirected networks. However, many real-world networks, such as the social network Twitter and the WWW networks, upon which information, emotion or malware spreads, are shown to be directed networks, composed of both unidirectional links and bidirectional links. We define the directionality as the percentage of unidirectional links. The epidemic threshold for the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) epidemic has been proved to be 1/lambda_{1} in directed networks by N-intertwined Mean-field Approximation, where lambda_{1}, also called as spectral radius, is the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. Here, we propose two algorithms to generate directed networks with a given degree distribution, where the directionality can be controlled. The effect of directionality on the spectral radius lambda_{1}, principal eigenvector x_{1}, spectral gap lambda_{1}-|lambda_{2}|) and algebraic connectivity |mu_{N-1}| is studied. Important findings are that the spectral radius lambda_{1} decreases with the directionality, and the spectral gap and the algebraic connectivity increase with the directionality. The extent of the decrease of the spectral radius depends on both the degree distribution and the degree-degree correlation rho_{D}. Hence, the epidemic threshold of directed networks is larger than that of undirected networks, and a random walk converges to its steady-state faster in directed networks than in undirected networks with degree distribution.

description: We perform a definitive analysis of Bianchi VII_h cosmologies with WMAP observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature anisotropies. Bayesian analysis techniques are developed to study anisotropic cosmologies using full-sky and partial-sky, masked CMB temperature data. We apply these techniques to analyse the full-sky internal linear combination (ILC) map and a partial-sky, masked W-band map of WMAP 9-year observations. In addition to the physically motivated Bianchi VII_h model, we examine phenomenological models considered in previous studies, in which the Bianchi VII_h parameters are decoupled from the standard cosmological parameters. In the two phenomenological models considered, Bayes factors of 1.7 and 1.1 units of log-evidence favouring a Bianchi component are found in full-sky ILC data. The corresponding best-fit Bianchi maps recovered are similar for both phenomenological models and are very close to those found in previous studies using earlier WMAP data releases. However, no evidence for a phenomenological Bianchi component is found in the partial-sky W-band data. In the physical Bianchi VII_h model we find no evidence for a Bianchi component: WMAP data thus do not favour Bianchi VII_h cosmologies over the standard Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) cosmology. It is not possible to discount Bianchi VII_h cosmologies in favour of LCDM completely, but we are able to constrain the vorticity of physical Bianchi VII_h cosmologies at $(ω/H)_0 < 8.6 \times 10^{-10}$ with 95% confidence.

description: If gravity is an emergent phenomenon, as suggested by several recent results, then the structure of the action principle for gravity should encode this fact. With this motivation we study several features of the Einstein-Hilbert action and establish direct connections with horizon thermodynamics. We begin by introducing the concept of holographically conjugate variables (HCVs) in terms of which the surface term in the action has a specific relationship with the bulk term. In addition to g_{ab} and its conjugate momentum \sqrt{-g} M^{cab}, this procedure allows us to (re)discover and motivate strongly the use of f^{ab}=\sqrt{-g}g^{ab} and its conjugate momentum N^c_{ab}. The gravitational action can then be interpreted as a momentum space action for these variables. We also show that many expressions in classical gravity simplify considerably in this approach. For example, the field equations can be written in a form analogous to Hamilton's equations for a suitable Hamiltonian if we use these variables. More importantly, the variation of the surface term, evaluated on any null surface which acts a local Rindler horizon can be given a direct thermodynamic interpretation. The term involving the variation of the dynamical variable leads to TδS while the term involving the variation of the conjugate momentum leads to SδT. We have found this correspondence only for the choice of variables (g_{ab}, \sqrt{-g} M^{cab}) or (f^{ab}, N^c_{ab}). We use this result to provide a direct thermodynamical interpretation of the boundary condition in the action principle, when it is formulated in a spacetime region bounded by the null surfaces. We analyse these features from several different perspectives and provide a detailed description, which offers insights about the nature of classical gravity and emergent paradigm.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία έχει ως αντικείμενο τη διερεύνηση της ευστάθειας εδαφικών πρανών σε συνθήκες μερικού κορεσμού, λόγω μεταβολής της μύζησης.
Διερευνήθηκε η ευστάθεια ενός πρανούς  που δομείται από εδαφικό γεωϋλικό (μανδύα αποσάθρωσης) με ή χωρίς υποκείμενο μητρικό πέτρωμα. Εξετάσθηκε η συμπεριφορά για δύο διαφορετικούς τύπους εδαφικού σχηματισμού: α) μιας ιλυώδους άμμου και β) μιας αργίλου.
Για τη διερεύνηση της επίδρασης της μύζησης στην ευστάθεια των πρανών, πραγματοποιήθηκε παραμετρική ανάλυση, με προσομοίωση της κατείσδυσης από βροχόπτωση σταθερής έντασης 7.2 mm/hr και διάρκειας 24 ωρών.
Οι αναλύσεις ευστάθειας πραγματοποιήθηκαν με χρήση του λογισμικού GeoStudio. Αρχικά έγινε προσομοίωση της ροής του νερού και της μεταβολής της πίεσης των πόρων λόγω βροχόπτωσης, (με το λογισμικό SEEP/W). Στη συνέχεια ακολούθησε η διερεύνηση της ευστάθειας (με το λογισμικό SLOPE/W), με χρήση του εκτεταμένου Mohr – Coulomb κριτήριου, προκειμένου να συμπεριληφθεί στην ανάλυση και η επίδραση της μύζησης.
Από τις αναλύσεις προέκυψε σημαντική μείωση του συντελεστή ασφάλειας της τάξης του 40% για την περίπτωση της ιλυώδους άμμου και 7% στην περίπτωση του συνεκτικού αργιλικού εδάφους μετά από τη διακοπή της παρατεταμένης βροχόπτωσης. Επιπλέον, διαπιστώθηκε ότι  η παρουσία συνεκτικού υποβάθρου σε μικρό βάθος  επιδεινώνει τις συνθήκες ευστάθειας.
Ακολούθησε η διερεύνηση της ευστάθειας απόθεσης στείρων υλικών λιγνιτωρυχείου, με σκοπό να εκτιμηθούν οι κυριότεροι παράγοντες που θα μπορούσαν να οδηγήσουν σε αστοχίες απόθεσης άγονων υλικών σε συνθήκες παραταγμένης βροχόπτωσης. Προσδιορίσθηκε η χαρακτηριστική καμπύλη των στείρων υλικών της απόθεσης και εκτιμήθηκε η συμπεριφορά του πρανούς. Η ανάλυση, έδειξε σημαντική μείωση του συντελεστή ασφάλειας, της τάξεως του 20% με το πέρας της βροχόπτωσης χωρίς την εκδήλωση φαινομένων αστοχίας.

description: Abstract: We show that for each γ∈(0, 2), there is a unique metric (i.e., distance function) associated with γ-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG). More precisely, we show that for the whole-plane Gaussian free field (GFF) h, there is a unique random metric Dh associated with the Riemannian metric tensor “eγh(dx2+dy2)” on C which is characterized by a certain list of axioms: it is locally determined by h and it transforms appropriately when either adding a continuous function to h or applying a conformal automorphism of C (i.e., a complex affine transformation). Metrics associated with other variants of the GFF can be constructed using local absolute continuity. The γ-LQG metric can be constructed explicitly as the scaling limit of Liouville first passage percolation (LFPP), the random metric obtained by exponentiating a mollified version of the GFF. Earlier work by Ding et al. (Tightness of Liouville first passage percolation for γ∈(0, 2), 2019. arXiv:1904.08021) showed that LFPP admits non-trivial subsequential limits. This paper shows that the subsequential limit is unique and satisfies our list of axioms. In the case when γ=8/3, our metric coincides with the 8/3-LQG metric constructed in previous work by Miller and Sheffield, which in turn is equivalent to the Brownian map for a certain variant of the GFF. For general γ∈(0, 2), we conjecture that our metric is the Gromov–Hausdorff limit of appropriate weighted random planar map models, equipped with their graph distance. We include a substantial list of open problems.
