description: In recent years, the use of next-generation advanced sequencing methods has changed our understanding of microorganisms living in various environments, including the Earth's atmosphere. This scientific progress has revealed the existence of microorganisms under severe conditions and illuminated the potential for life beyond the Earth. Detailed analysis of atmospheric microorganisms can improve our knowledge of the Earth's ecosystem and, in particular, serve as a guide for the search for life on other planets.

 Earth’s atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen, oxygen and traces of other gases. It is playing a crucial role in maintaining suitable conditions for life. Conditions vary with altitude, including decreasing pressure and temperature as one ascends. These changes are accompanied by significant phenomena like weather patterns, the occurrence of air pollution and the presence of aerosols and particulate matter.

 The primary objective of our study is to characterise the specific microbiome components associated with different atmospheric layers of the Earth. We use Next Generation Sequencing data which is available in public databases like the Sequence Read Archive and European Nucleotide Archive, followed by data upload and quality evaluation using FastQC (Galaxy Version 0.73+galaxy0). The following sequence analysis uses tools like Trimmomatic (Galaxy version 0.38.1), Kraken2 (Galaxy Version 2.1.1+galaxy1), and Krona (Galaxy Version 2.6.1.1). The alignment data from these analyses are further evaluated within the Python environment, using Jupyter Notebook on the Galaxy platform.

 By characterising the microbiomes specific to Earth's atmospheric layers, our research can contribute to the development of methodologies and frameworks for extrapolating findings to other planetary atmospheres. Understanding the factors that shape and support microbial life in Earth's atmosphere can inform the search for life on other celestial bodies, such as Venus. Scientists have detected phosphine there, which could potentially indicate the presence of microorganisms in the atmosphere. The ability to identify and analyze atmospheric microorganisms on Earth provides valuable insights into the potential existence and survival strategies of extraterrestrial life.

description: Language variety identification aims at labelling texts in a native language (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese, English) with its specific variation (e.g. Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Spain; Brazil, Portugal; UK, US). In this work we propose a low dimensionality representation (LDR) to address this task with five different varieties of Spanish: Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Spain. We compare our LDR method with common state-of-the-art representations and show an increase in accuracy of ~35%. Furthermore, we compare LDR with two reference distributed representation models. Experimental results show competitive performance while dramatically reducing the dimensionality --and increasing the big data suitability-- to only 6 features per variety. Additionally, we analyse the behaviour of the employed machine learning algorithms and the most discriminating features. Finally, we employ an alternative dataset to test the robustness of our low dimensionality representation with another set of similar languages.

description: We investigate critical $N$-component scalar field theories and the spontaneous breaking of scale invariance in three dimensions using functional renormalisation. Global and local renormalisation group flows are solved analytically in the infinite $N$ limit to establish the phase diagram including the Wilson-Fisher fixed point and a line of asymptotically safe UV fixed points characterised by an exactly marginal sextic coupling. We also study the Bardeen-Moshe-Bander phenomenon of spontaneously broken scale invariance and the stability of the vacuum for general regularisation. Our findings clarify a long-standing puzzle about the apparent unboundedness of the effective potential. Implications for other theories are indicated.

description: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. COPD is preventable, so intervening early should reduce the likelihood of developing COPD. Reducing the negative impact of COPD may be achieved by targeting people at risk of COPD and providing them with quit smoking support, appropriate screening, and effective treatments and management. There is uncertainty regarding the appropriate, evidence-based, diagnosis and management of COPD in at-risk populations. The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the diagnosis and management of COPD in at-risk populations.

For relaxed Ge$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$, a topological semimetal is found for $\textit x$ $>$ 41$\%$ with gapless and band inversion at $Γ$ point, while there is an indirect-direct bandgap transition at $x$ = 8.5$\%$. For strained Ge$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$ on a Ge substrate, semimetals with a negative indirect bandgap appear for $x$ $>$ 43$\%$, and the strained Ge$_{1-x}$Sn$_{x}$ on Ge is always an indirect bandgap semiconductor for $x$ $

description: We propose an Uzawa-type iteration for the Johnson-Nédélec formulation of a Laplace-type transmission problem with possible (strongly monotone) nonlinearity in the interior domain. In each step, we sequentially solve one BEM for the weakly-singular integral equation associated with the Laplace-operator and one FEM for the linear Yukawa equation. In particular, the nonlinearity is only evaluated to build the right-hand side of the Yukawa equation. We prove that the proposed method leads to linear convergence with respect to the number of Uzawa iterations. Moreover, while the current analysis of a direct FEM-BEM discretization of the Johnson-Nédélec formulation requires some restrictions on the ellipticity (resp. strong monotonicity constant) in the interior domain, our Uzawa-type solver avoids such assumptions.

description: Когнитивно-поведенческая терапия (КПТ) – это форма психотерапии, которая сосредоточена на изменении отрицательных мыслей и поведений, которые могут приводить к психическим проблемам и эмоциональным расстройствам. КПТ основана на идее, что наши мысли, ощущения и действия взаимосвязаны, и изменение одного из этих элементов может привести к изменению других. В ходе терапии пациент учится распознавать негативные и неадаптивные мысли, анализировать их с точки зрения реалистичности и эффективности, затем заменять их более позитивными и конструктивными мыслями. Кроме того, в КПТ пациентам также предлагаются конкретные задания и упражнения для изменения непродуктивных поведений. Цель КПТ – помочь людям преодолеть свои проблемы, научиться управлять своими мыслями и эмоциями, а также развить более адаптивные и функциональные стратегии поведения.

description: This thesis aims to document the process of correcting cadastral records for properties of forest interest. There will be an introductory reference to key terms necessary for the development of this work, as well as a review of legal principles that demonstrate the superior position of the Greek State compared to private individuals regarding forest areas, due to the need for their protection. Subsequently, the process of correcting the designation of areas as forest or non-forest will be analyzed, along with the possibilities for correcting this designation at each possible stage, emphasizing that this only concerns their designation as forest or non-forest and does not determine their ownership status. Furthermore, there will be mention of the correction of cadastral records for properties of forest interest, starting from the judicial procedures for pursuing this correction at each possible stage, further analyzing legal issues that may arise, such as the common occurrence in cadastral records of encountering presumptions (whether rebuttable or irrebuttable) and ways to overturn them. Finally, there will be an approach to the extrajudicial correction processes of inaccuracies in cadastral records, where this is preferred by the national legislator, with the aim of achieving faster and more economically advantageous corrections.

description: We present a comprehensive study of the regularity of the covariance matrix of a discretized field on the sphere. In a particular situation, the rank of the matrix depends on the number of pixels, the number of spherical harmonics, the symmetries of the pixelization scheme and the presence of a mask. Taking into account the above mentioned components, we provide analytical expressions that constrain the rank of the matrix. They are obtained by expanding the determinant of the covariance matrix as a sum of determinants of matrices made up of spherical harmonics. We investigate these constraints for five different pixelizations that have been used in the context of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data analysis: Cube, Icosahedron, Igloo, GLESP and HEALPix, finding that, at least in the considered cases, the HEALPix pixelization tends to provide a covariance matrix with a rank closer to the maximum expected theoretical value than the other pixelizations. The effect of the propagation of numerical errors in the regularity of the covariance matrix is also studied for different computational precisions, as well as the effect of adding a certain level of noise in order to regularize the matrix. In addition, we investigate the application of the previous results to a particular example that requires the inversion of the covariance matrix: the estimation of the CMB temperature power spectrum through the Quadratic Maximum Likelihood algorithm. Finally, some general considerations in order to achieve a regular covariance matrix are also presented.

description: We report the existence of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) at the (001) surface of CaTiO3. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we find a hybridization between the d_xz and d_yz orbitals, not observed in the 2DESs at the surfaces of other ATiO3 perovskites, e.g. SrTiO3 or BaTiO3. Based on a comparison of the 2DES properties in these three materials, we show how the electronic structure of the 2DES (bandwidth, orbital order and electron density) is coupled to different typical lattice distortions in perovskites. The orbital hybridization in orthorhombic CaTiO3 results from the rotation of the oxygen octahedra, which can also occur at the interface of oxide heterostructures to compensate strain. More generally, the control of the orbital order in 2DES by choosing different A-site cations in perovskites offers a new gateway towards 2DESs in oxide heterostructures beyond SrTiO3.

description: Printing technology based on plasmonic structures has many advantages over pigment based color printing such as high resolution, ultra-compact size and low power consumption. However, due to high losses and broad resonance behavior of metals in the visible spectrum, it becomes challenging to produce well-defined colors. Here, we investigate cross-shaped dielectric nanoresonators which enable high quality resonance in the visible spectral regime and, hence, high quality colors. We numerically predict and experimentally demonstrate that the proposed all-dielectric nanostructures exhibit high quality colors with selective wavelengths, in particular, due to lower losses as compared to metal based plasmonic filters. This results in fundamental colors (RGB) with high hue and saturation. We further show that a large gamut of colors can be achieved by selecting the appropriate length and width of individual $Si$ nanoantennas. Moreover, the proposed all-dielectric metasurface based color filters can be integrated with the well matured fabrication technology of electronic devices.

description: In this study, we probe the transition to cosmic homogeneity in the Large Scale Structure (LSS) of the Universe using the CMASS galaxy sample of BOSS spectroscopic survey which covers the largest effective volume to date, $3\ h^{-3}\ \mathrm{Gpc}^3$ at $0.43 \leq z \leq 0.7$. We study the scaled counts-in-spheres, $\mathcal{N}(2.97$ for $r>\mathcal{R}_H$, we find $\mathcal{R}_H = (63.3\pm0.7) \ h^{-1}\ \mathrm{Mpc}$, in agreement at the percentage level with the predictions of the $Λ$CDM model $\mathcal{R}_H=62.0\ h^{-1}\ \mathrm{Mpc}$. Thanks to the large cosmic depth of the survey, we investigate the redshift evolution of the transition to homogeneity scale and find agreement with the $Λ$CDM prediction. Finally, we find that $\mathcal{D}_2$ is compatible with $3$ at scales larger than $300\ h^{-1}\ $Mpc in all redshift bins. These results consolidate the Cosmological Principle and represent a precise consistency test of the $ΛCDM$ model.

description: Academic self-efficacy is mostly construed as specific; task-specific, course-specific or domain-specific. Previous research in the Danish university context has shown that the self-efficacy subscale in the Motivated Strategies for Leaning Questionnaire is not a single scale, but consists of two separate course- and activity-specific scales; the Specific Academic Learning Self-Efficacy Scale (SAL-SE) and the Specific Academic Exam Self-efficacy scale (SAE-SE). The SAL-SE and the SAE-SE subscales have previously been found to fit the Rasch model, have excellent reliability, and initial evidence of criterion validity has been established. The aim of this study was to conduct a new validity study of the SAL-SE and SAE-SE scales in the Danish university context. Specifically, whether the original findings of fit to the Rasch model, as well as the other psychometric properties of the scales could be replicated for a sample enrolled in another course context, as well as additional criterion validity. The sample consisted of 341 Psychology students enrolled in a first-semester statistics course. Results showed that the SAL-SE scale fit the Rasch model, while the SAE-SE scale did not as two items were locally dependent, reliability was excellent, and both SAL-SE and SAE-SE levels were positively related to final statistics grades.

Self-Adjusting Threshold Mechanism for Pixel Detectors

description: Readout chips of hybrid pixel detectors use a low power amplifier and threshold discrimination to process charge deposited in semiconductor sensors. Due to transistor mismatch each pixel circuit needs to be calibrated individually to achieve response uniformity. Traditionally this is addressed by programmable threshold trimming in each pixel, but requires robustness against radiation effects, temperature, and time. In this paper a self-adjusting threshold mechanism is presented, which corrects the threshold for both spatial inequality and time variation and maintains a constant response. It exploits the electrical noise as relative measure for the threshold and automatically adjust the threshold of each pixel to always achieve a uniform frequency of noise hits. A digital implementation of the method in the form of an up/down counter and combinatorial logic filter is presented. The behavior of this circuit has been simulated to evaluate its performance and compare it to traditional calibration results. The simulation results show that this mechanism can perform equally well, but eliminates instability over time and is immune to single event upsets.

description: Regression under the "small $n$, large $p$" conditions, of small sample size $n$ and large number of features $p$ in the learning data set, is a recurring setting in which learning from data is difficult. With prior knowledge about relationships of the features, $p$ can effectively be reduced, but explicating such prior knowledge is difficult for experts. In this paper we introduce a new method for eliciting expert prior knowledge about the similarity of the roles of features in the prediction task. The key idea is to use an interactive multidimensional-scaling (MDS) type scatterplot display of the features to elicit the similarity relationships, and then use the elicited relationships in the prior distribution of prediction parameters. Specifically, for learning to predict a target variable with Bayesian linear regression, the feature relationships are used to construct a Gaussian prior with a full covariance matrix for the regression coefficients. Evaluation of our method in experiments with simulated and real users on text data confirm that prior elicitation of feature similarities improves prediction accuracy. Furthermore, elicitation with an interactive scatterplot display outperforms straightforward elicitation where the users choose feature pairs from a feature list.

description: The use of substances to increase productivity and resource use efficiency is now essential to face the challenge of feeding the rising global population with the less environmental impact on the ecosystems. Trichoderma-based products have been used as biopesticides, to inhibit pathogenic microorganisms, and as biostimulants for crop growth, nutrient uptake promotion, and resistance to abiotic stresses. Methods in this work, plant metabolomics combined with roots and rhizosphere bacterial metabarcoding were exploited to inspect the performance of Trichoderma spp. biostimulants on Arabidopsis thaliana under drought, heat and their combination and its impact on plant holobiont. Results and discussion and overall modulation of N-containing compounds, phenylpropanoids, terpenes and hormones could be pointed out by metabolomics. Moreover, metabarcoding outlined an impact on alpha and beta-diversity with an abundance of Proteobacteria, Pseudomonadales, Burkholderiales, Enterobacteriales and Azospirillales. A holobiont approach was applied as an integrated analytical strategy to resolve the coordinated and complex dynamic interactions between the plant and its rhizosphere bacteria using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model host species.

description: We report results from a systematic measurement campaign conducted to identify low radioactivity materials for the construction of the EXO-200 double beta decay experiment. Partial results from this campaign have already been reported in a 2008 paper by the EXO collaboration. Here we release the remaining data, collected since 2007, to the public. The data reported were obtained using a variety of analytic techniques. The measurement sensitivities are among the best in the field. Construction of the EXO-200 detector has been concluded, and Phase-I data was taken from 2011 to 2014. The detector's extremely low background implicitly verifies the measurements and the analysis assumptions made during construction and reported in this paper.
