description: With economies shifting towards net-zero carbon emissions, there is an increased interest in carbon-free energy carriers. Hydrogen is a potential carbon-free energy source. However, it poses several production, infrastructural, and safety challenges. Ammonia blends have been identified as a potential hydrogen carrier and fuel for gas turbine combustion. Partially cracked ammonia mixtures consist of large quantities of hydrogen that help overcome the disadvantages of pure ammonia combustion. The presence of nitrogen in the fuel blends leads to increased NOx emissions, and therefore lean premixed combustion is necessary to curb these emissions. Understanding the flame features, precursors, and dynamics of blowout of such blends due to lean conditions is essential for stable operation, lean blowout prediction, and control.
 In this study, high-fidelity large eddy simulations for turbulent premixed ammonia/hydrogen/nitrogen-air flames in an axisymmetric, unconfined, bluff-body stabilized burner are performed to gain insights into lean blowout dynamics. Partially cracked ammonia (40% NH3, 45% H2, and 15% N2, by volume) is chosen as fuel since its laminar burning velocity is comparable to CH4-air mixtures. A finite rate chemistry model with a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism (36 species and 247 reactions) is utilized to capture characteristics of various species during blowout. A comprehensive study of the flow field and flame structure for a weakly stable burning at an equivalence ratio of 0.5 near the blowout limit is presented. Further, the effects of blowout on the heat release rate, vorticity, distribution of major species, and ignition radicals are studied at four time instances at blowout velocity of 70 m/s. Since limited data is available on turbulent premixed combustion of partially cracked ammonia, such studies are essential in understanding flame behavior and uncertainties with regard to blowout.

title: Anselm's Ontological Argument: Its Meaning and Significance.
Creators: name: Brecher, Robert
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: Much of the difficulty surrounding Anselm's ontological argument has been generated by ignoring its metaphysical framework. Examination of the Proslogion and Monologion shows it to be a platonic argument, thus disposing of the 'Lost Island' objection, among others. Contemporary modal interpretations are neither correct versions of, nor advances upon, the original: Hartshorne confuses modal status with truth-value. The Proslogion II argument is valid; it is the sense of Anselm's definition and conclusion which is at issue. Since the argument explicates why God, defined as that which is maximally real, must be real, questions of the logic of 'existence' are irrelevant; however, what 'x is real' means depends on what sort of entity x is, so that Anselm's conclusion remains uncertain until and unless it can be shown in what the non-fictionality of God might consist. Indeed, can God be anything but a fiction? If he can, then he must be real, for, I contend, 'God is eternal and self-sufficient' (which Anselm, as a platonist, claims for him) entails that 'God is real' is necessary. Whether it is necessarily true or necessarily false, then, depends on the coherence of otherwise of 'God', a coherence Anselm assumes. The assumption is disguised by his - and his commentators' - failure to distinguish between the bearer of the name 'God', and the supreme reality described as 'god'. We may thus ask, Can God be god? To discover what sort of entity God is, we must see what may be predicated of him: but neither analogia entis, the language-game theory, nor analogia fidei solve the problem of how attributes may be predicated of a being who is god. The question of God's reality remains unresolved; but Anselm's argument at least shows how and why it is a conceptual question.

description: The fluid dynamics of blood in the systemic circulation modulates production of nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator. Non-invasive techniques such as the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) test and physiologic phenomena associated with autonomic stress induce hyperemia and subsequently higher levels of wall shear stress (WSS), stimulating endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression. In the current clinical practice, WSS–a key regulator of endothelial function–is commonly estimated assuming a parabolic velocity distribution, despite the evidence that the temporal changes of pulsatile blood flow over the cardiac cycle modulate vasodilation in mammals. This work investigates the effect of cardiovascular stress on local WSS distributions and the potential for near-wall accumulation of nitrite, the vasoactive storage form of NO in the bloodstream. The specific aims of the project are therefore as follows: 1) develop a reduced-order model of the major systemic vasculature at rest, during a flight-or-flight response, and under moderate levels of aerobic exercise; 2) derive a velocity-driven Womersley solution for pulsatile flow to support accurate estimation of pulsatile WSS in the clinical setting; and 3) quantify cumulative transport of nitrite in a multiscale model of bifurcating vasculature utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Development of these open-source, translatable methods enable accurate quantification of hemodynamics and species transport during cardiovascular stress. Results detailed herein extend our knowledge about regulation of regional blood flow during autonomic stress, suggest a convergent evolutionary theory for having a complete circle of Willis, and potentially clarify reproducibility concerns associated with the FMD test.

description: E-mail has become a de-facto means of communication. Mail servers try to manage the explosive growth of e-mail usage and offer good quality of service to the users, while spam e-mails are expected to account for 90% of the e-mail traffic. The exceedingly heavy workload can lead to the replacement of existing e-mail servers due to their inability to cope with performance standards and storing capacity. In this study, we try to model the workload of the Technical University of Crete e-mail servers, for all types of traffic (spam, user and system e-mails). We collected a vast amount of e-mail logs with high variations in terms of size and volume over time. We tested some of the most popular distributions for workload characterization and used powerful statistical tests to evaluate our findings. Interestingly we come to different conclusions in comparison with previous works in the field. Our work indicates that, with the exception of some outliers, email traffic can be modeled and predicted quite well.

description: Electricity demand is increasing and new energy resources are required, especially environment-friendly resources like PV systems. On the other hand, water scarcity is another growing issue in the modern world, and the availability of potable water is a concern. Therefore, designing a system to address both problems in one solution is needed. In this thesis, a photovoltaic (PV) power system and reverse osmosis (RO) system were designed, simulated, and analyzed for a rural house in Tehran, Iran. Water system configuration in the house was investigated, RO system components were merged into the system, and a new design was proposed. RO load and house load were calculated, and different hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) were introduced. Optimization results with HOMER Pro software suggested that the PV battery RO system had several advantages over other systems. Moreover, the software offered optimum low cost system sizing. Then the PV and RO system dynamic model was introduced to check the behaviour of the system. This part was conducted in two phases; in the first phase, a transfer functionbased model for a small-scale RO unit was introduced, and the model precisely mimicked the system's behaviour for different inputs. In the second phase, components of the PV system were simulated in MATLAB/Simulink, and it was proved that the proposed electrical system powers the loads with a fixed and stable voltage and frequency in all the conditions. Finally, three different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques were designed and simulated for the PV system and shown that the fuzzy logic (FL) controller offers better results.

description: Wireless communications is by any measure the fastest growing segment of the communications industry. Cellular phones, Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), Smart Homes and telemedicine  are some applications that make extensive use of wireless communications.

 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is a modulation that has been applied to a wide variety of applications and is adopted in many recently standardized broadband communication systems. OFDM is an appealing technique for achieving high-bit-rate data transmision, due to its robustness against the multipath fading and Inter Symbol Interference.
 Since the OFDM transmission is vulnerable to time and frequency offsets, accurate estimation of these
 parameters is one of the most important tasks of the OFDM receiver. In this thesis, we  implement a time synchronization algorithm based on correlation of two identical parts of an OFDM pilot symbol. In addition, knowledge of the channel in the transmitter is very useful for effective transmission and/or interference mitigation (especially in static environments). Thus, channel feedback is utilized throughout the experiments conducted for this thesis.
 The experiments were conducted on a software-defined-radio (SDR) testbed based on the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP).

description: Groundwater is a very important parameter of the hydrological circle, with immediate connection with the surface waters and the atmosphere, while it is a source for the human water needs. Groundwater can transfer dissolved substances to the ground that are important  for sustaining the ecosystems, however sometimes it can also transfer dissolved pollutants.
The subject of this diploma thesis is the modelling of the groundwater flow and transport of hexavalent chromium in the industrial area of Oinofyta, in the river basin of Asopos.
In recent years the pollution of the Asopos River has become the subject of research and publications. In the past there had been studies for the identification of the source of the pollution (human or geogenic). In the wider area it has been found that there is natural pollution because of the ophiolithic formations, however in the study area the levels of hexavalent chromium are far higher than the ones resulting from the weathered rocks. This shows that the source of pollution is manmade. The basic question that the current diploma comes to, answer is the size of the plume of hexavalent chromium as well as the exact place of the source.
Hexavalent chromium is one of the forms of chromium which can be found free in nature in low concentrations, whilst in some cases it is a result of specific reactions. It is widely used in the industrial field but it is highly toxic and can become deadly.
The modelling of the groundwater flow and the transport of the hexavalent chromium, was performed using PTC (Princeton Transport Code), using the platform of Argus ONE. The simulation was performed for 5 years (2008-2014) and gave conclusions for the groundwater flow as well as the transport of the pollutant.
Initially, geology, hydrogeology and rain data are presented, while at the same time the theoretical background of groundwater flow and the hexavalent chromium transport is analyzed. Subsequently there is a description of the tools that were used during the simulation (PTC, Argus ONE, GEO 5).
Furthermore, there is an analysis of the parameters and the calibration results in comparison with the field data. Based on the calibration results, conclusions are drawn for the current pollution situation of the area.
Finally, according to the results of the calibration, it is obvious that the source of the pollution is because of human activity, placed through the simulation very close to the actual source of pollution. To determine the source of the pollution accurately, systematic and continuous monitoring of the groundwater as well as the surface water and waste disposal, is suggested.

title: Comparative Study of the Thermal Performance of Old and New Buildings in Ghardaia
Creators: name: Telli, Mohamed Yacine
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: There has been a rise in the number of initiatives undertaken by individuals and organisations to rethink the process of building design, construction, and administration in order to reduce their negative impact on the environment. Specifically, it would be helpful to learn more about how a house's thermal performance affects people's needs for thermal comfort inside the dwelling, since this would shed light on the importance of enhancing residential building design. The thesis's primary focus is on traditional homes in Ghardaia southern of Algeria. Two residences pairs were located in the Ghardaia neighbourhoods of Beni Isguen and Tafilelt. They're rated and compared in accordance with criteria including ideal climate, desired home design, and appropriate build-ing materials. With this research, the aim was to better understand how traditional and modern settlements in Ghardaia responded to residents' climatic, cultural, and architectural preferences. A low-energy building that is suitable for modern people is therefore specified by research into the social and cultural factors that go into the making of vernacular dwellings. In this research, evaluation was carried out by the use of observation, field survey, and computer simulation. By studying how well local homes are insulated, we can learn how to improve the thermal perfor-mance of new houses. Both communities in Algeria's hot and dry interior relied heavily on pas-sive heating and cooling techniques. A field investigation was conducted to evaluate the thermal comfort of both historic and modern Ghardaia homes. Both case studies in the hot and arid regions of Algeria emphasised the use of passive heating and cooling systems during the monitoring and evaluation. The thermal comfort of traditional and modern Ghardaia homes was evaluated by a field survey based on observations of occupants. First, the thermal performance of old and modern Ghardaia structures was calculated and com-pared. Second, recognising and learning from the differences in the performance characteristics of new houses contributes to the creation of innovative and superior urban dwelling designs. The findings of the computer simulations of the interventions suggested that traditional and new homes might increase the future potential for low-energy housing in southern Algeria by increasing the thermal efficiency of the existing dwellings in both settlements. The outcomes of the investigation of two villages illustrate that a suitable indoor atmosphere may be created using locally accessible building materials and conventional environmental practices. This study partially fills a gap in the research on thermal comfort standards for Algeria and demonstrates the potential to minimise energy use in contemporary structures in hot, dry settings. The study also gives simulation-based suggestions for how buildings should be built in Algeria's hot, dry climate.

description: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is a debilitating injury in athletes, especially for those engaged in repetitive stretch-shortening cycle activities. Clinical risk factors are numerous, but it has been suggested that altered biomechanics might be associated with AT. No systematic review has been conducted investigating these biomechanical alterations in specifically athletic populations. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review was to compare the lower-limb biomechanics of athletes with AT to athletically matched asymptomatic controls. Databases were searched for relevant studies investigating biomechanics during gait activities and other motor tasks such as hopping, isolated strength tasks, and reflex responses. Inclusion criteria for studies were an AT diagnosis in at least one group, cross-sectional or prospective data, at least one outcome comparing biomechanical data between an AT and healthy group, and athletic populations. Studies were excluded if patients had Achilles tendon rupture/surgery, participants reported injuries other than AT, and when only within-subject data was available.. Effect sizes (Cohen's d) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated for relevant outcomes. The initial search yielded 4,442 studies. After screening, twenty studies (775 total participants) were synthesised, reporting on a wide range of biomechanical outcomes. Females were under-represented and patients in the AT group were three years older on average. Biomechanical alterations were identified in some studies during running, hopping, jumping, strength tasks and reflex activity. Equally, several biomechanical variables studied were not associated with AT in included studies, indicating a conflicting picture. Kinematics in AT patients appeared to be altered in the lower limb, potentially indicating a pattern of “medial collapse”. Muscular activity of the calf and hips was different between groups, whereby AT patients exhibited greater calf electromyographic amplitudes despite lower plantar flexor strength. Overall, dynamic maximal strength of the plantar flexors, and isometric strength of the hips might be reduced in the AT group. This systematic review reports on several biomechanical alterations in athletes with AT. With further research, these factors could potentially form treatment targets for clinicians, although clinical approaches should take other contributing health factors into account. The studies included were of low quality, and currently no solid conclusions can be drawn.

title: Percezione degli ebrei e conoscenza della cultura ebraica in Dante e nell’Italia medievale
Creators: name: Buffo, Jacopo
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2021

description: The aim of this thesis is to depict the situation of Jewish culture during the Middle Ages, especially before and during Dante’s lifetime. Starting from Europe and moving to Italy, it will show the extent of these Jewish and Christian interactions, which were already taking place during this epoch, and will discuss the likelihood of Dante taking part in these exchanges. Furthermore, this thesis will underline the personality of Dante Alighieri as a sui generis individual; a poet who, although his ideas were in line with the Zeitgeist of his time, came into contact with Jewish milieus, and interacted with them far from any prejudicial obstacles. These interactions surely left traces on his thoughts and works, as will be shown in this thesis.

title: Toward the development of sustainable polymers – zinc and iron complexes for poly(carbonate), poly(ether) and poly(ester) synthesis
Creators: name: Anderson, Timothy Simon
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: In recent decades, significant effort has been put toward the development of sustainable polymers to compliment or replace the materials currently in use. Two major classes of interest are poly(carbonate)s and poly(ester)s. The allure of these stems from the materials that are used to synthesize them. Copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides is one method of synthesizing poly(carbonate) and carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere continue to rise – a result of anthropogenic activity – therefore, utilizing the small molecule for various transformations is convenient and necessary. The most common epoxides used in poly(carbonate) synthesis are produced from petroleum but there are naturally sourced compounds as well. Similarly, poly(ester) is produced mainly in the form of poly(ethylene terephthalate) but recently, naturally sourced reagents (i.e. lactide) have begun commercial production. The synthesis of the polymers is often facilitated through metal-based catalysts that encourage controlled reactivity between the substrates. In this work, a zinc amino-bis(phenolate) complex was investigated for catalytic activity toward carbon dioxide and cyclohexene oxide copolymerization in the presence of benzyl alcohol co-catalyst producing poly(ether-co-carbonate) with high molecular weights containing both ether and carbonate linkages. The catalyst was active at 1 bar carbon dioxide – a trait shared by some of the most active catalysts in this area. The complex also exhibited activity toward copolymerization of carbon dioxide and limonene oxide – a naturally sourced epoxide. Poly(limonene carbonate) typically exhibits physical properties more similar to commercially produced bisphenol-A poly(carbonate)s. Iron complexes were also examined for carbon dioxide and epoxide coupling as part of a collaboration between the groups of Drs. Kerton and Kozak with my own contributions studying three Fe(III) amino-bis(phenolate) complexes. Toward cyclohexene oxide and carbon dioxide coupling in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium chloride co-catalyst, only cyclic cyclohexene carbonate was observed in low yields. However, the activity of two of the complexes toward lactide ring-opening polymerization was high. Furthermore, co- and terpolymerization reactions involving lactide, phthalic anhydride and epoxides produced poly(ester-co-ether)s with narrow dispersities. A zinc alkylperoxo complex was synthesized and structurally characterized. This could be applied toward the epoxidation of α-ß unsaturated ketones and subsequent copolymerization with carbon dioxide in one-pot in low yields. This represents the first instance of poly(carbonate) synthesis from epoxide-devoid starting materials in one-pot.

description: Οι διαρροές πετρελαίου αποτελούν σοβαρό κίνδυνο για τα οικοσυστήματα,
δημιουργώντας στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις σημαντικά περιβαλλοντικά προβλήματα.Όσον αφορά τις περιπτώσεις διαρροών πετρελαίου στη θάλασσα (πετρελαιοκηλίδες), η εξυγίανση του περιβάλλοντος είναι εξαιρετικά δύσκολο να επιτευχθεί. Η μέθοδος της ενισχυμένης βιοαποδόμησης πετρελαίου αποτελεί ένα εξαιρετικό τεχνολογικό επίτευγμα αποκατάστασης θαλάσσιου περιβάλλοντος, το οποίο στηρίζεται στην ικανότητα των αυτόχθονων μικροοργανισμών (βακτήρια και μύκητες) να αποδομούν το πετρέλαιο. Η ενίσχυση των μικροοργανισμών γίνεται με την προσθήκη κατάλληλων θρεπτικών υλικών (φώσφορο, άζωτο), σε συνδυασμό με λιπόφιλες φυσικές ουσίες και επιλεγμένες επιφανειοδραστικές ουσίες βιολογικής προέλευσης (biosurfactants), με σκοπό την ταχύτερη διέγερση τους.
Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία σε ένα πείραμα 56 ημερών μελετήθηκε η επίδραση της χρήσης επιλεγμένων λιπόφιλων φυσικών ουσιών (ουρικό οξύ και λεκιθίνη) , σε συνδυασμό με τρεις διαφορετικές επιφανειοδραστικές ουσίες βιολογικής προέλευσης (Rahmnolipids, BB1000, New Cherry), όσον αφορά την αποτελεσματικότητα τους στην αποδόμηση υδρογονανθράκων ακατέργαστου αργού πετρελαίου (crude oil) σε θαλάσσιο περιβάλλον.
Η μέθοδος που χρησιμοποιήθηκε για την εξέταση των παραγόντων βιοεξυγίανσης
βασίζεται στο τροποποιημένο πρωτόκολλο δοκιμής της αποτελεσματικότητας των παραγόντων της μεθόδου που ανέπτυξε η EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) [40CFR Ch. I, Pt 300, App.C]. Το πρωτόκολλο εξετάζει τη μικροβιακή δραστηριότητα μέσω της ανάλυσης του πιο πιθανού αριθμού (Most Probable Number) και ποσοτικοποιεί την απομάκρυνση των κορεσμένων υδρογονανθράκων και των πολυκυκλικών αρωματικών υδρογονανθράκων (PAHs) με τη χρήση GC/MS.

description: Nuclear fusion reactors require electron cyclotron heating and current drive (EC H&CD) systems for plasma heating and stabilization. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polycrystalline diamond windows on both the torus and gyrotron sides of the reactors act as confinement and/or vacuum boundaries allowing the transmission of high-power microwave beams. For example, the beam power scenarios of 1.5 MW and 2 MW are the current targets considered respectively in Wendelstein 7-X and European DEMO fusion machines. In this work, with reference to both reactors, the numerical analyses required to verify the thermal and structural performance of the windows are discussed. Experimental measurements of loss tangent in diamond provided inputs for the numerical analyses. Sensitivity studies of the windows with respect to loss tangent and other parameters were also carried out to check the temperature reserve margins of the design.

description: Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης εργασίας είναι μελέτη της βιωσιμότητας ενός συστήματος παραγωγής βιοντίζελ από μικροφύκη με τη μέθοδο ανάλυσης κύκλου ζωής. Συγκεκριμένα μελετήθηκαν τέσσερις διαφορετικές καλλιέργειες μικροφυκών ως προς την διαδικασία παραγωγής τους και στην συνέχεια έγινε σύγκριση των περιβαλλοντικών επιπτώσεών τους μεταξύ τους, αλλά και σε σχέση με το συμβατικό ντίζελ. Οι παράμετροι που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν λήφθηκαν υπόψη βάση των ελληνικών στοιχείων.
	Είναι γεγονός ότι στις μέρες η κλιματική αλλαγή έχει θέσει ως αναγκαία προϋπόθεση την χρήση βιοκαυσίμων έναντι των κοινών καυσίμων. Στη βάση αυτή έχει αναπτυχθεί μεγάλη έρευνα σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο γύρω από τον τομέα των μικροφυκών, καθώς αποτελούν μία πολλά υποσχόμενη πηγή βιοκαυσίμων λόγω συγκεκριμένων χαρακτηριστικών τους. Παρόλα αυτά η έρευνα αυτή βρίσκεται ακόμα σε πρώιμο στάδιο λόγω της ποικιλότητας των ειδών αλλά και των μεθόδων παραγωγής τους.
	Τα περιβαλλοντικά φορτία που προκύπτουν ανά κιλό παραγόμενου βιοντίζελ δείχνουν ότι η καλλιέργεια με την μικρότερη επιβάρυνση στο περιβάλλον είναι αυτή του είδους  Spirulina Platensis σε ανοιχτή δεξαμενή. Ωστόσο συγκριτικά με το κοινό ντίζελ τα αποτελέσματα μοιάζουν αποθαρρυντικά. Μόνο με την χρήση των εναλλακτικών σεναρίων προκύπτουν μικρότερες περιβαλλοντικές επιβαρύνσεις για ορισμένες από τις εξεταζόμενες καλλιέργειες σε σχέση με το ντίζελ.
	Τα αποτελέσματα μας οδηγούν στο συμπέρασμα ότι μόνο με την εξέλιξη των τεχνολογιών παραγωγής και την διερεύνηση εναλλακτικών μεθόδων επεξεργασίας με μικρότερες ενεργειακές απαιτήσεις μπορεί να καταστεί εφικτή η βιωσιμότητα παρόμοιων διαδικασιών παραγωγής βιοντίζελ, καθώς με τις παρούσες συνθήκες το προερχόμενο από μικροφύκη βιοντίζελ φαντάζει περιβαλλοντικά ασύμφορο.
