description: This textbook aims to study various fundamental aspects of Applied Mathematics, by pursuing a presentation methodology that is suitable for undergraduate students of Engineering Departments and Schools. Emphasis is placed on both the simple presentation of theory and the process of solving relevant problems, while maintaining the necessary mathematical rigor. In particular, each chapter of the book includes the necessary theoretical background, solved examples, illustrative figures, exercises with their answers and relevant bibliography. The topics of the book are broken down into three sub-topics: ordinary differential equations, differential equations with partial derivatives and complex analysis. In particular, ordinary differential equations include the topics of first-order differential equations, higher-order differential equations, solving equations using the Laplace transform, solving equations using power series, systems of linear differential equations and numerical solution of differential equations. The part of the book dealing with partial differential equations studies first-order equations, canonical forms of second-order linear equations, eigenvalue problems, Fourier series and integrals, and problems with Laplace's equation, the diffusion equation and the wave equation. Finally, the part of complex analysis includes complex numbers, complex functions, their differentiation and integration.

description: The textbook consists of three chapters, just as they are mentioned in the title. The book was initially written in order to fill a void of such a topic in the Greek scientific literature. There is not a systematic description of these three subjects in Greek. The first chapter, which is also the largest, is dealing with the systems of units, mainly with the International System of Units (SI). It is important that we refer to the latest version of the SI that has been in use since May 20th, 2019. The difference is that the SI is based on seven basic physical constants that define the fundamental units of measurement. The values of the constants are fixed, given with no uncertainty. The derived units are defined by the fundamental units in the usual way. Precise definitions are given for the various concepts that are relevant to the subject. The second, and most concise chapter, deals with the significant figures. The meaning of significant digits is given in a clear manner, along with the use in calculations. Many people are confused about what significant figures and decimal figures are. The third chapter deals with the dimensional analysis. It is a fact that many physicists (mainly theorists) and engineers use dimensional analysis without knowing the theoretical background of the method. Engineers working with fluids are more experts in the subject and with deeper knowledge. The deeper knowledge helps in the better use of the method for more complicated problems. The textbook could be used/read separately or together with others that are related with subjects we referred to above.

description:
This textbook is an introduction to the most important chapters of Physical Chemistry, and it is a part of  various lectures in the first semester of the undergraduate program in the Biology Department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH).
Biology is the study of living creatures/organisms, and, its historical origin is descriptive in its nature (taxonomy and description of the species). Through contemporary Biology, however, scientists attempt to understand the phenomena in living creatures on a molecular level. In this way, Contemporary Biology is being transformed from a qualitative to a quantitative science, and as a result of this, a theoretical framework,  corresponding to the mathematical approach, is required. Physical Chemistry as a part of the science of Chemistry can provide an important framework in this infrastructure as well as in the study of molecular science, the characteristics of living creatures, and the chemical and biological reactions taking place. Even though Physical Chemistry is mainly an educational tool for the chemists, its terms can also be used for the understanding of various and important mathematical processes, with the minimum background of mathematical knowledge needed.
Physical chemistry studies the molecular structure of macroscopic appearing material as well as its effect on individual properties. In chemical systems, it investigates and analyses various phenomena, such as chemical reactions, energy changes etc., while the biological phenomena, such as enzymatic reactions, photosynthesis, electrolyte transport etc., can be researched and understood with the help of physical chemistry laws.
In this textbook, a reference to the major areas of Quantum Theory, Statistical Thermodynamics and Spectroscopy is not made, as the text is addressed to first-semester undergraduate students.
The present textbook consists of ten chapters. In the first eight chapters, an introduction to theoretical terms is given, while the last two chapters refer to several selected laboratory exercises, and to o the health and safety regulations needed while performing them. All chapters are accompanied with exercises, math problems, bibliography and a brief table of the foremost terms and mathematical equations.

description: In this textbook the Greek cement industry and, by extension, the concrete production industry are analyzed. The required mineral raw materials for cement production are given, their production methods are described and the mechanical preparation of the raw materials for their conversion into a suitable feed (raw meal) for the clinker production is examined. They also described the necessary preparatory processes (pre-homogenization - storage of raw materials) for producing suitable cement kiln feed. The rotary kilns and the pyro-processing operations performed in the kiln for clinker production are described. Furthermore, the book provides information on the selection of suitable refractory linings for rotary kilns. The Bogue equations used to describe the properties of clinker using the percentage ratio of its phases are then given. Afterwards, the mathematical methods for the determination of the appropriate raw materials proportioning for the production of cement are presented. Also, the size reduction processes in the cement industry are investigated and the equations for the prediction of the energy consumed in grinding are given. The types of cement (common and composite), their uses, the methodology for the production of composite cement and the environmental impact of their production are then analyzed. Reference is also made to the energy requirements for cement production and the heat production in the kiln, as well as to the conventional and alternative fuels in the process. Subsequently, the hydration process, i.e. the chemical behaviour of cement during the production and use of concrete, is discussed, and also the chemical admixtures used in the production and use of concrete are briefly discussed. Then, the production methods of concrete aggregates are examined and the methods of testing the suitability of concrete aggregates and the Greek and international Aggregate Testing Standards are briefly reviewed. Finally, an attempt is made to investigate the environmental aspects of the production and use of cement and concrete.

description:
Τhis textbook focuses on bilingualism and in particular on the ways in which minority-group children develop proficiency in the language spoken by their community. It involves families in which at least one parent has an L1 different from the language which is dominant in their country of residence and wish their children to develop both these languages. In the Greek context, such groups include immigrants and refugees, Greek Roma and Muslims, as well as Greek-origin people living abroad.
The authors begin by discussing the various aspects and dimensions of bilingualism as well as issues related to the language use and education of such children. Drawing from research evidence and various theoretical frameworks on Family Language Policy, they manage to highlight the salient factors which contribute to bilingual development in such family contexts.
One of the most important factors is attendance of ‘community schools’; the term refers to -usually informal- courses in which children belonging to a minority group learn the language and culture of their parents’ country of origin outside the mainstream school. The authors use examples from Greece and other countries to discuss issues related to the organization of such schools and their objectives; the latter may include not only the development of language proficiency but also the construction of a particular ethnic identity. They also discuss how schools may attempt to achieve these aims, in the light of recent approaches to bilingualism and language education. The final chapter presents related teaching approaches (‘pluralistic approaches to language teaching’) which stress the importance of developing plural communicative repertoires and exploiting the full range of communicative resources that bilingual students possess.

description: The book is an introduction to the section of Mathematical Programming concerning the optimization of a linear function subject to a set of linear constraints. A distinction is made in respect to whether the domain of the variables is continuous or discrete. In the first case the section is referred to as Linear Programming while in the second case as Integer (Linear) Programming. The book covers a great range of the former  while it presents basic knowledge of the latter. Three core features of the subject are explored in the book: a) the modeling development reflecting practical problems, b) the theoretical study of the underlying structures that these models describe, c) the algorithmic techniques for solving the models developed in (a) based on the analysis presented in (b). Consequently, the book  is a holistic approach to this specific field; the presentation of the underlying theory and its exploitation for model solving, the algorithmic techniques developed for that purpose and the analysis of the information that they provide as an output as well as the wide range of applications are some of the feature of  this book which aims at motivating the reader to become more involved in this fascinating subject.

description: Numerical methods are one of the most important tools for the simulation and analysis of problems in Engineering in general, but also in Geotechnical Engineering in particular. The rapid development of computers in recent years, combined with the corresponding progress in the field of Computational Engineering, have essentially made the use of numerical methods, and especially the Finite Element Method, the exclusive choice when solving problems such as those of foundations, excavations, retaining walls and tunnelling in urban or non-urban environments. For this purpose, an understanding of the theory of the Finite Element Method and its application to geotechnical engineering problems is essential. The book "Analysis of Geotechnical Engineering Problems by the Finite Element Method" attempts to introduce the reader to the process of simulating the physical problem as a process of synthesis of elements and techniques of the Finite Element Method. The book is structured in 3 main axes. 2. The understanding of the peculiarities of geotechnical problems when analyzing/simulating with the Finite Element Method. 3. The application of the Method, as a synthetic process, to Geotechnical Engineering problems. The book is addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in the field of Geotechnical Engineering and, in general, to engineers working on geotechnical problems.

description: Today, imaging techniques are internationally on the cutting edge of non-destructive diagnostics of movable and immovable cultural heritage monuments and constitute a valuable research tool, at the service of expert scientists and professionals in the field. The aim of the book is to present, in a systematic and organized manner, the methodology of applying a series of “popular” imaging techniques, which has been adopted and evaluated in practice by the authors during the study of various objects of cultural heritage. Particular emphasis is placed on the critical presentation of the application requirements, the type of information that these techniques provide in different fields and the interpretative approach to visual information. This book is a practical guide that investigates problems and proposes updated and reliable solutions for dealing in an effective and optimal way with the various issues that arise in the continuous and comprehensive diagnostic process of examination, evaluation and documentation of cultural heritage objects. It is addressed to both specialist and non-specialist readers, as well as scientists and professionals in the field who wish to familiarize themselves with non-destructive imaging methodologies and are interested in delving into issues of preservation and protection of cultural heritage. The book is structured in two parts: the first part consists of three chapters, where the basic principles of non-destructive testing and the necessary theoretical knowledge to understand both the operating principle of imaging techniques and the interpretation of acquired images are presented. Furthermore, the specific methodology, instrumentation, special characteristics and requirements for the application of each method, are described, as well as the importance of the standards. The second part consists of four chapters that discuss the particularities, capabilities and limitations of the techniques in the study of a series of cultural heritage objects such as panel paintings and paintings on canvas, archival material, books and works of art on paper, sculpture and ceramics, archaeological objects, monuments and wall paintings. Finally, at the end of the book the reader is offered the opportunity to evaluate his or her understanding of the chapters with questions which guide towards a synthetic and critical way of thinking.

description: The book is a textbook for the 7th and 8th semesters of Architectural Composition and attempts to bring together Architectural Design and Building Technology. Its aims are to methodically analyse and classify the construction choices that serve architectural composition and to help fostering a deeper understanding of such selections. In addition, it aspires to develop criteria regarding the choice of materials and how construction details can be resolved. The book consists of eight (8) chapters, subdivided in three parts with explanatory and annotated illustrated material. Part 1 discusses the nature of load-bearing structures, their types in construction, the range of choices, the particular requirements of each material, and elements of the design of details. Extensive reference is made to the use of structural materials and their technological evolution. This is followed by a categorisation and a classification of load-bearing structures and of the skin of the building. Furthermore, the elements that make up the skin and the environmental requirements which it must meet are examined. Part 2 introduces the key building materials, their mechanical properties, their physical limits and their compatibility in construction. It analyses their forming and processing techniques, as well as elements of their specification. In addition, each report methodically attempts to develop criteria for their use, as well as to discuss alternative approaches based on issues of economy, regulations and the image of the end result. Finally, part 3 provides information on the design management of the architectural project in the established practices, the approach and design rendering by hand and through CAD, and the specific requirements of integrated information assembly based on a variety of established practices and the requirements of regulations.

description: Although an extensive body of literature exists on the Python programming language, the Greek equivalent is notably sparse. It generally focuses on grasping Python's core concepts rather than exploring its extensive library ecosystem. Our examination of the available resources through the Eudoxus platform and a review of the content in existing books revealed that they tend to skim the surface, aiming to introduce the Python language and basic programming concepts. Our intention, however, is to take a different approach by presenting the most popular libraries to ensure that students gain not only a proficiency in Python but also a comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem surrounding it. Our aspiration is for our book to serve as a supplementary aid across a variety of courses, rather than as the main textbook for a single subject. The book will begin with a conceptual overview of the language, covering foundational elements such as data types, arithmetic and logical operations, variables, control structures like loops and flow control, functions, file handling, and database management. It will also address the object-oriented aspects of programming in Python, including objects, classes, inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation. Following this, we will delve into specialized libraries for file management, graphical user interfaces, sockets, databases, machine vision, digital game development, data analysis, numeric and vector processing, mathematical computations (linear algebra, statistics, vector calculus etc.), graph plotting, statistical result visualization, machine learning, artificial intelligence, neural networks and interactive user interface development. In conclusion, the book will outline the standard text processors and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) utilized in Python programming, alongside the most effective debugging techniques, to equip students with practical skills in software development.

The inextricable relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship is then analyzed, as well as the concept of the business model and in particular the Business Model Canvas tool and how it includes the involved members of an ecosystem. The main characteristics of the external and internal environment of businesses and their ecosystems follow, and the various tools that contribute to their evaluation, as well as the goals that are then set and the way to evaluate the performance of the operation of businesses and organizations. The identification of the four main generic strategies, as well as other types of business potential strategies is the subject that follows, while particular emphasis is placed on the innovation strategy and how it affects the business/competitive strategies applied by a firm in the context of and wider cooperation in a ecosystem. The next subjects deal within the book concerns cooperative movements with the aim of obtaining mutual benefits, as well as ways of reacting to different competitive movements carried out by organizations of an ecosystem, while it then further focuses on a particular form of business ecosystem, the clusters. The necessary elements and background are given to understand the process of strategic management with an emphasis on achieving and maintaining a competitive advantage. Finally, the book describes the issues of ethical and social responsibility in the context of business sustainability, with particular reference to business sustainability strategy which becomes central to their overall direction and strategy.

description: The subject of the text is the presentation of the basic principles of electrochemistry, in an analytically documented way, with emphasis on the properties of electrolytic solutions and the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. The text consists of six chapters. The first chapter introduces the reader to the concept of electrochemical reaction, the role of electrodes and electrolytic solution, the basic types of electrochemical systems and the basic laws and principles of electrochemistry. Common electrochemical systems are determined by the properties of the electrolytic solution, as well as by the properties of the interface formed between the electrodes and the solution. For this reason, Chapters 2 and 3 will present the properties of electrolytic solutions, in and out of equilibrium, respectively. In particular, in Chapter 2 the reader is introduced to the phenomena of electrical interactions between ions and the concept of electrochemical potential, energy and activity coefficient. In Chapter 3, the phenomena observed in the electrolytic solution out of equilibrium are presented, in particular the motion of ions under the influence of an electric field (electrotransfer, conduction, etc.), and the motion due to concentration gradient (diffusion). Chapters 4 and 5 present the properties of the electrochemical interface at equilibrium. Chapter 4 describes the electrochemical interface with emphasis on ideal flowing electrodes and discusses the main models of its structure. In Chapter 5 the reader is introduced to the concept of electrode potential, how it is measured and the different types of electrodes and systems. Finally, Chapter 6 presents the basic principles of electrochemical kinetics, the dependence of velocity on electrode potential and the role of diffusion. Each chapter includes representative exercises.

The topic of this book focuses on getting familiar with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and learning the latest ArcGIS Pro software. This book is a guide to implementing the various functions of GIS, with the help of ArcGIS Pro, with a description of the functions of the software in illustrative ways, through exercises, images and interactive material. After a brief description of the theoretical background of GIS, the book focuses on getting to know and basic functions of ArcGIS Pro, data development, data analysis, creating proper maps, spatial analysis in three and four dimensions, the art of cartography and GIS methods and applications with an emphasis on the new functions of ArcGIS Pro. As technology evolves and the subject of GIS must also evolve, this book is a new, up-to-date text on GIS and the capabilities of the latest ArcGIS Pro software, which represents the new logic of GIS, and includes new tools, functions and methods of analysis.

description: Mountainous areas offer an important visiting, touring, recreational and culturally didactic destination for contemporary societies. Nevertheless, the correlation of cultural ethics with mountain territories, especially those of high altitude, has not always been positive. As far as it regards Western societies, the affirmative crucial change to mountain oriented cultural habits coincides with the end of the 18th century, and the upraise of the European romanticism. The first part of this volume refers to the previous historic alteration of the cultural imaginary and the way that architectural formations participated to the mountain tourism; providing, through the two previous centuries till nowadays, minor ingenious bivouacs for the adventurous mountaineers, or extended housing and athletic facilities for the biggest number of visitors.The second part of the volume refers to the Hellenic mountainous areas, insisting on the fact that an extended part of them may be associated to important incidents, concerning the real participation of their cultural communities to the historic transformations of the Hellenic and Balkan area, or their emblematic imaginary participation to the ideological neoteric transformation of the post-Renaissance social and political ethics. It is in this context that the promotion and the development of the Hellenic mountainous areas has to be regarded as an effort that largely exceeds economic aspirations of a simplistic touristic attitude. It must be accepted as a cultural and political commitment, in correlation to the didactic offer that has to be provided to the visitors and, furthermore, to the local inhabitants. In the second part of the volume, the context of the term ‘tradition’ is firstly analyzed, in comparison to the historic importance of the Hellenic mountainous territories in reference. Then we proceed to the presentation of exemplary proposals, of academic didactic or research context, concerning the description and promotion of their valuable, internationally unique, identity.

description: EU-funded studies on the impact of the Structural Funds often evaluate specific investment projects or programmes, while academic research focuses on the long-term effects, usually by measuring their impact on economic growth. However, in the end many questions still remain unanswered. Undoubtedly, in relatively well-documented analyses of the impact of the Structural Funds on growth, the impact is very positive on social and institutional capital: through programming, partnership, monitoring, evaluation, control and requirements or through specific programmes, the Structural Funds contribute to improving efficiency in the Greek public administration. However, there are unexplored negative externalities. This book fills this gap. Adopting the political economy approach to the impact of aid, it shows that the Structural Funds can be seen as externalities rather than the net result of productive activity within the country. A constant flow of 'easy money' is often a perfect way to maintain an inefficient or simply poor governance structure. Regional authorities relying almost exclusively on these external inflows for infrastructure projects have no incentive to seek better ways to increase funding for development projects. As foreign aid, the Structural Funds may end up supporting bloated bureaucracies, paternalistic structures and patronage networks. Finally, the Structural Funds have a serious impact on the motivation of workers.

description:
Transplantation is one of the greatest medical achievements of the 20th century, and nowadays it has evolved to a technologically advanced medical procedure that significantly improves the quality of life and the life expectancy of the chronically ill patient. Starting from the historical review of transplantation, the aim of this textbook is to communicate to young physicians not only the process, but also the evolution, the importance and the necessity of transplantation. A necessary condition for transplants is the donation of organs, as well as the understanding and the acceptance of the donation procedure. There are regulatory frameworks governing transplantation, which are country-specific but all are operating according to international standards. Topics that will be analyzed are: bioethical issues, medical criteria for the diagnosis of brain death, the legislative framework for donation as well as hematopoietic cell donor and tissue banks.
A necessary condition for transplantation is the close cooperation of members of a multidisciplinary team, consisting of several medical specialties. Students will be informed about the procedures for identifying and evaluating potential donors, as well as the need for thorough screening and pre-transplant evaluation of the prospective recipient. They will familiarise themselves with the basic knowledge of transplant immunology, as well as the current immunosuppressive protocols. The textbook aims to bring medical students closer to transplantation. It roughly describes the surgical procedure of organ transplantation, the potential short-term and long-term medical complications of the recipient and the allograft failure over time. It offers the opportunity to learn about the donation process as well as the indications and the results of hematopoietic cell transplantation. The primary objective of the course is for the multifaceted process of transplantation to be understood and thoroughly studied. However, the need to strengthen the idea of donation and to create social awareness about the value of donation, starting with young health scientists, is also of paramount importance.

description:
The content of this book constitutes a unified presentation of concepts, methods, and results from Ordinary Differential Equations, Complex Functions, and Fourier Transformations, within which general frameworks are formulated, interpreted, and analyzed in various significant applications in the natural and technological sciences, as well as in computer science.
The book is divided into three parts: I. Ordinary Differential Equations, II. Complex Functions, and III. Series and Fourier Transformations. Ordinary Differential Equations represent an extensive field in both pure and applied mathematics, focusing on the study of existence and uniqueness of solutions in pure mathematics and emphasizing computational methodologies in applied mathematics. Differential Equations also play a crucial role in mathematical modeling of physical, technological, and biological processes. The theory of Complex Functions is one of the most fascinating areas of mathematics. Many of the most powerful techniques used to formulate and study applications of mathematics in other sciences are based on the theory of Complex Functions. One of the purposes of the book is to present a wide range of applications and to comprehensively process techniques of Complex Functions that are used for their modeling. The concept of the Fourier Transformation consists of an integral representation of functions and is an extension of the representation of functions with the help of Fourier series. Fourier Transformations have many applications in the natural sciences and technology and are practically used for the transformation of functions between the fields of time or space and the field of frequencies.

description: This book discusses and proposes ways in which concepts, methods and theories from cultural and media studies enrich principles and practices in the design of content and user interfaces in multimedia desktop, virtual and mixed reality applications. At the core of this cultural-communicative approach are the practices by which meanings are produced in the course of a communication process. These practices are discussed in terms of data creation, narrative development, information formatting and human-computer interaction. The centrality of meaning-making in the creation of multimedia content and user interfaces highlights not only the cognitive processes but mainly the whole active engagement with an event, which brings together perceptions, thoughts and actions.

description: The purpose of the book is the introduction of the reader to the compiler construction technology. The book reinforces the acquirement of knowledge through the development experience. Contrary to other books, which are available in Greek and mostly focus on theoretical background, in this book the theoretical background is the vehicle and the development is the motivation and the guide. The structure of this book follows the phases of the compiler construction development. These phases are: lexical analysis, syntax analysis, intermediate code generation, symbol table construction and final code generation. Chapters for each phase, as well as chapters for formal grammars, code optimization and compiler development tools are incorporated. An educational programming language is defined, for which a fully functional compiler is implemented, which generates machine code starting from a source program. This educational programming language resembles to the C programming language. It is simpler than C, both in programming and data structures. Despite its limited programming capabilities, it supports most familiar programming structures, like "while" and "if-else", as well as some custom ones, the compilation of which is of special interest. It also supports functions and procedures, passing parameters by value and by reference, recursive functions and nesting functions of procedure.

description: A hydropower plant is quite complicated, consisting mainly of the following components: reservoir, dam, and specific hydropower installations. The first chapter of the present book refers to the reservoirs. The dimensioning of both flood mitigation and storage reservoirs is emphasized. The dimensioning is regarding the reservoir capacity, as well as the safety systems, namely the flood spillway and the bottom outlet of the corresponding dam. Further, optimization methods are developed, which are divided into analytical (linear and dynamic programming) and simulation methods. Optimization concerns the maximization of the economic profit due to the water disposition to the users or the minimization of the material loss due to floods. Apart from that, estimation methods of water evaporation, thermal stratification and water quality of the reservoirs are given. Finally, the reservoir sedimentation problem is investigated and solution techniques are presented. The second chapter of this book concerns the design and construction of earth-fill and rock-fill dams. More specifically, the geotechnical investigation required and the proper construction materials are addressed. The necessary or alternative measures for the improvement of the foundation formation are outlined. Issues regarding the design and construction of filters and drains, as well as the water flow through the earth-fill dams are also covered in the second chapter. At this point, the dam stability analysis and the face sealings from reinforced concrete and asphaltic concrete are described. Finally, the instrumentation for the monitoring of the earth-fill and rock-fill dam behaviour concludes the second chapter. The third chapter of the book is dedicated to the concrete dams. The forces acting on the concrete dams are described and the corresponding formulas are written. The static stability analysis of the gravity, arch and buttress dams is also described. Finally, the flood spillways, as well as the stilling basins downstream of the dams are investigated from constructive and hydraulic points of view. The fourth chapter of the book begins with generalities about hydropower plants. The investigated specific installations of the hydropower plants include the surge chamber, the fall pipeline, where the phenomenon of hydraulic shock takes place, the spiral housing, the turbine and the turbine draft tube. The investigation of the above installations aims at their dimensioning.

description:
According to a common view, what is important in art is emotion. Emotion should refer, on the one hand, to the artist and, on the other hand, to the effect of his work on the receivers.
In our culture, however, the arts communicate through convention, and emotion becomes part of the structure. Emotion is constructed in literature and other arts with words and/or embodied modes of expression—that is, within artistic languages. These invite responses from a reader or a spectator or a listener, although artistic creation and its reception varies considerably between art forms. A written text that engages a reader’s subjective feeling and imagination is quite different to that of a music event bringing together a large listening audience—or a dancing one. So, an artwork itself can ‘embody’ emotion.
This study aims to present ways of articulation of the emotional power of art music, painting and opera in our culture using theories and examples.
The first chapter presents and analyses ways through which we perceive the arts, especially music, to communicate with emotion.
The second chapter aims to present aesthetic theories and works which favored the emotional power of music and painting (movements of baroque, romanticism and expressionism).
The aim of the third chapter is to offer cultural readings in relation to the two opposing poles of emotions as they appear in opera, namely, the emotions of love, especially in the era of them reaching a climax (romantic era), and those in relation to human conflict (war).

description: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery is the most evolving part of Neurosurgery. It is directly related to the specialties of Neurology, Radiology, Radiotherapy and Psychiatry and it includes the treatment of a wide range of disorders of the Central and Peripheral Nervous System. Neurosurgical intervention concerns the restoration of malfunctioning neural circuits of the brain or the spinal cord. Its applications cover a wide range of pathological conditions, such as deep brain stimulation for movement disorders (essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, dystonia), chronic pain (neuralgia, neuropathic pain), mental disorders (pharmacoresistant depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder), treatment of spasticity after traumatic brain injury or multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, it has a role in the treatment of medically intractable epilepsy. Stereotactic biopsy is a precise method of sampling almost all areas of the brain through imaging guidance. In addition, stereotactic radiosurgery (γ-knife, cyberknife) is rapidly evolving for the non-invasive treatment of diseases, beyond intracranial tumours (acoustic neuromas, meningiomas), such as Parkinson's disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, vascular disorders and trigeminal neuralgia.

description:
This e-book is a laboratory guide that aims to meet the needs of students attending courses in Artificial Intelligence, Logic Programming or other courses of similar content. It contains 13 extensive lab exercises for learning the Prolog programming language with applications in Artificial Intelligence, problem solving, searching, constraint satisfaction, and game playing.

The exercises are grouped into two parts. In the first part, exercises 1 through 7 focus on learning the Prolog language. In the second part, exercises 8 to 13 concern applications of Prolog to Artificial Intelligence problems.

Each chapter contains separate sections with the presentation of the exercise, an indicative solution, a detailed explanation with the reasoning behind the solution, observations on the solution and, where applicable, alternative solutions. The exercises are of increasing complexity. They start with simple questions in the Prolog knowledge base and work their way up to sophisticated algorithms that solve more complex problems. In the first 8 chapters, each exercise is preceded by a background section summarizing the elements of Prolog theory that the reader needs to know in order to solve the exercise. This lab guide assumes that the reader is already familiar with the basic theory of Logic Programming and Artificial Intelligence, so it does not attempt to repeat elements of the theory, but only briefly covers elements of the Prolog language in the background section of the initial exercises, so that the guide should be as self-contained as possible.

description: The book includes special topics of nonlinear dynamical systems in continuous and discrete time and applications. Its aim is to enrich the Greek literature in dynamical systems with more specialized topics. The book is divided into five sections. The first section includes a detailed introduction to the theory of dynamical systems that allows even a non-specialist reader to proceed with the study and understand the topics covered in the book. The second section deals with regular and chaotic attractors, both those associated with equilibrium points and those not associated with any unstable equilibrium point and called hidden. It also includes the essential tools for detecting chaotic behaviour, such as the Melnikov theory and various numerical indices, such as Lyapunov exponents, the SALI method and the GALI method. The third section deals with Hamiltonian systems, integrable and non-integrable. Various theorems, such as the KAM Theorem and the Poincare Birkhoff theorem, and different non-integrability criteria and theorems are also presented. The fourth section includes discrete systems (maps) in one or more dimensions, as well as symbolic dynamics. In this section, the basic concepts are developed, various theorems with which the discrete systems are studied, and the idea of fractal sets and the characteristic Julia and Mandelbrot set. The last fifth section includes chapters with applications such as Targeted Energy Transfer in coupled linear and nonlinear oscillator systems, epidemiology and Josephson Junctions.

description: Until recently, quantitative sample surveys were mainly conducted through three data collection techniques: interviews conducted through face-to-face interviewer-respondent communication, interviews conducted through interviewer-respondent telephone communication via landline telephones, and questionnaires sent by mail. Encouraging the respondent to participate in the research process (recruitment) was also done in the same way: by face-to-face interviewer-respondent communication, by telephone interviewer-respondent communication and by using an awareness and information invitation sent by mail together with the questionnaire respectively. In all the above cases, responses were recorded on a paper questionnaire and case management was done on paper contact forms. With the development of technology, a new dimension in data collection methods, 'computerisation', is now being introduced. This concerns the use of digital questionnaires and the use of a digital case management system. In addition, two new means of communication are being introduced: the Internet and the mobile phone. Online surveys, which are self-completed and self-administered, are now carried out via the Internet. On the other hand, telephone surveys now have to include mobile phones, as the use of landline telephones is declining. The concept of 'data collection method' is becoming more complex, since, in addition to the collection techniques, it includes the dimension of recruitment of the respondent and the dimension of computerisation. With the technological explosion of recent years, the social scientist now has in his toolbox more and more tools, digital mainly, to carry out data collection but also the recruitment of the interviewees and the control of the interviewers. At the same time, however, they must know how to use them effectively, using appropriate methodological procedures, and coordinate workflows, systems, respondents and interviewers. This book aims to introduce the reader to these new challenges with primary survey-based data collection using Limesurvey and SPSS software.

description:
Because we deal with human behaviour every day, we tend to think that we already know what is true in psychology. All too often, we are tempted to “buy” commonsense beliefs. These beliefs, however, are often proven to be wrong. Because common sense is problematic, psychologists focus their attention on scientific observation, which is based on gathering empirical evidence. But unlike our everyday experiences, scientific observation is systematic and carefully planned.
Psychology's greatest strength is that it uses scientific observation to systematically answer questions about behaviour. The careful recording of information is at the core of all sciences. The scientific method is a form of critical thinking based on careful data collection, precise measurement, analytical definition, controlled observation, and repeatability of findings.
A course on the scientific method and experimental design in Psychology is capable of enriching critical thinking skills, but it is the practical application of knowledge that will lead to the consolidation of skills acquired in the classroom. The goal of this book is to highlight the knowledge gained and offer practical learning exercises—in and out of the classroom—to continually enhance scientific thinking and experimental design in Psychology. This textbook will encourage the student to engage in a variety of critical thinking activities, thus, making learning more active. It will also be a useful tool for the professor, enhancing the education process. Such a laboratory manual is currently not available in the Greek market and, therefore, it is considered useful to be accessible to all students interested in practicing the scientific method.

description: This book covers the field of Space Physics, including some essential elements of Solar and Plasma Physics. Thus it complements the available academic books, as until recently there was no Space Physics book available in Greek. This book is divided into three parts. The first part is an introduction to Plasma Physics, dealing with basic plasma concepts such as frequency, gyroradius and electromagnetic shielding, while a detailed description of the motion of charged particles in electromagnetic fields, the kinetic theory and the magnetohydrodynamic approximation of plasma as a set of charged particles follow, as well as the waves generated in plasma and especially the waves generated in a planetary magnetosphere. The second part is the main part of Space Physics. Beginning with a description of the Sun and the solar wind as drivers of geospace disturbances, it continues with a detailed description of geospace as a set of trapped charged particle populations interacting with magnetic fields and various current systems within the Earth's magnetosphere, while also detailing the conditions that lead to disturbances of the system causing its extremely high variability. This section concludes with a description of the magnetospheres of the two largest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn. The third part is an introduction to Space Weather and space technology. It begins by describing basic techniques for measuring particles and electromagnetic fields in space, characteristics of space systems, and the basic principles of rocket launch. Finally, the reader has a first acquaintance with the applied part of Space Physics, i.e. space weather and its effects both on terrestrial and space technological infrastructures and on humans themselves, highlighting the need for timely and accurate predictions of geospace dynamics.

description: From the first appearance of the rules of international law, their mission was to regulate the functioning of the international community. Today, the examination of the conformity of international law to a system of social values that are rather commonly accepted (international ethics) and its development towards integration are fundamental issues of contemporary reflection on international relations and naturally have a strong influence on legal science. Thus, the common values on which international relations are founded are adopted as the object of analysis, but different positions on their use are invoked: either to explain the basis of international law, or to describe objectively the state of international relations and the impact of this value system on law, or finally to trace trends in the development of international law in the light of these values. The need to go beyond the classical views of international law leads us to a first consideration, namely whether modern (modernist) approaches to international law are distinguished by their completeness and accuracy. The questioning of a doctrinal view does not automatically point to a sharp innovation but possibly to the production of a new doctrine.

description: The book consists of three parts which answer the fundamental questions of this specific scientific field: a) What is the theory behind a simulation? b) How do we implement a simulator? c) How do we use the simulations and the results they give us? The first part of the book (Chapters 1 and 2) "builds" the necessary theoretical background for designing and implementing simulation studies. The second part of the book (chapters 3-8) studies the core of this scientific field which is no other than the implementation of simulators itself. We study 24 short programs written in C++ and 13 simulator implementations in the C++ language and the JaamSim software of JaamSim Software Inc. (https://jaamsim.com/). The simulators concern, among others, production, inventory, service and queuing systems. All applications are freely available to readers who may cite this book as a bibliographical source (see licensing page at the beginning of the book). The third part of the book (Chapters 9 and 10) addresses the topics that come after a simulator implementation. In chapter 9 we study how to set up/run simulation experiments and how to analyze the numerical results. In chapter 10 we discuss key issues related to optimization in simulation applications.

description: The textbook focuses on the concept of the recontextualizing of the artistic work via its creative modification and its integration into new contexts. It mainly examines the method of modification as applied to the illustrated narratives of comics from the modernist period onwards. Thus, this method is presented using the multiplying effect resulting from the coexistence of the word and the image in order to create new narratives (metanarratives, metafictions, etc.). Concepts that are particularly widespread in modern, and especially contemporary art, are analysed and described in relation to the transfer of a work into new contexts, such as appropriation, revision, adaptation, intersemiotic translation, etc. Not only this but also, terms describing the ways in which images are associated, such as interpictoriality, are explained with a wealth of examples. To this end, terminology and methods of analysing the relationship between 'texts' in the broad sense (intertextuality - Kristeva, metatextuality, hypertextuality, etc. - Genette) are used in an attempt to identify the possibility of extending them with appropriate adaptations to the field of images, but also theories - critiques of postmodern art and its function that have been formulated both by thinkers who are negative to postmodernism (e.g. Jameson, Baudrillard, etc.) and by its supporters (e.g. Hutcheon, Rose etc.). In an attempt to clarify the confusing terminology, concepts such as the Droste Effect, encapsulation, irony, parody, farce, grotesque, homage, etc. are presented and developed through examples and their possible relationship with humour and defamiliarization (association, transposition, exaggeration, transformation, etc. - Klein). Finally, an attempt is made to provide a historical interpretation of the practice of recontextualizing from its beginnings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (editorial cartoons, Little Nemo, Krazy Kat, etc.) to its generalized use in the post-war period by MAD magazine, its politicisation in the Underground years and its complex forms and multiple dimensions in contemporary alternative comics (Art Brut, Art Ops, Army @Love, Crossed, Asterix, etc)through the recontextualization of iconic artworks by artists such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, David, Goya, Hokusai, Manet, Whistler, Munch, Duchamp, Malevich, Dali, Picasso, Magritte, Hopper, Wood, Escher, etc.

description: The book examines all forms of transnational state aid (bilateral and multilateral) from the perspective of both donor and recipient states (mainly countries in Africa, the Arab World and South and South-East Asia). It also analyses the less-studied transnational private aid, presenting the roles of international NGOs (Médecins Sans Frontières, World Vision, Caritas, CARE, OXFAM, ACTIONAID etc.), large private charitable foundations (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Carnegie Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, etc.) as well as migrants’ remittances which are considered by the World Bank and other international organisations as important forms of assistance. The book's chapters examine the complex motives of donors (self-interested or altruistic) and present debates on aid effectiveness with reference to both the preconditions for giving aid (such as economic and political conditionalities) and the findings of major empirical studies. The role of multilateral institutions such as the European Union, the World Bank and regional development banks is also examined. Finally, a separate chapter critically presents the history of Greek development assistance (from Greece’s contribution to the reconstruction of Western Balkans in the 1990s to the refugee crisis of 2015-6).

description: The book "Introduction to the Basic Principles of Combustion Theory and Technology" is intended for students of the Energy Sector of the Department of Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering of the Polytechnic School of the University of Patras, but also to anyone interested in learning about the basic processes of fluid mechanics, mass and heat transfer, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, turbulence, and combustion. The usefulness of combustion science in solving technical problems covers a wide range of applications, such as thermal and propulsive power generation, fire prevention, fire safety, toxic waste incineration, alternative fuels, and control of pollutant emissions. It is therefore clear that the proper design of a combustion system is one of the most critical parts of the overall design process for an energy system. Through continuous development and updating in line with technological advances, this textbook will also serve as a suitable reference for postgraduate studies.

description:
This book is addressed to students of business management and/or marketing and covers two main interrelated fields of informatics. The first part of the book includes the principles of Data Bases and more specifically, topics on collection and management of data in businesses. In the second part, the reader is introduced in topics of business intelligence, such as knowledge extraction from data, data processing and analysis, prediction modeling, knowledge representation and decision support. The aim of the book is the acquaintance, through easy to understand theory and practical applications, with modern tools of collection and data analysis, knowledge extraction and the effective use of this knowledge in problem solving. Applications such as prediction of consumer behavior, selection of target market, product positioning, measurement of promotion action effectiveness, tracking of opportunities for cross-selling, and others are presented. Additionally, methods for knowledge-based decision support are considered and technologies are presented for model construction suitable for business problems.

The book is adapted to the needs of business management students or executives and differs from books addressed to informaticians or engineers, as well as from practical guides for software usage. Elements of theory are provided as necessary to comprehend the basic principles and way of thinking required to solve typical problems but also the necessary guidance is given to enable practical application. The book also differs from those who are limited to the presentation of systems and the discussion of cases, but instructs the reader to solve real problems on his own.

description: The book "Shipyards: Rise _ Reuse" is an interdisciplinary project, which presents different aspects of the shipbuilding industry. The theme of the rise and reuse of shipyards is related to large technical projects of landscape transformation, technological inventions but also historical, social and cultural issues. This book presents the facilities and the shipbuilding processes of historic as well as modern operational shipyards, echoing the culture and innovation of each era. It explores a panorama of places at the interface between land and water, where human ingenuity has exploited the topographical peculiarities to shape the diverse coastline dominated by slipways, iconic cranes, graving docks with steel gates, impressive workshops and warehouse buildings. We believe that every technical construction, like a shipbuilding infrastructure, a factory, a machine or a ship etc., carries values that must be passed on to the future. The book is divided into four chapters: Maritime Culture, Historical Shipyards, Modern Shipyards, Reuse of Shipyards. The text highlights timeless needs but also construction innovations with influences in the wider technical, cultural and social field. It describes issues relevant to a shipyard’s arrangement, diversity of infrastructure, variety of shipbuilding processes and ceremonies. It develops questioning on the types of interventions in abandoned shipyards and their reintegration into modern life, opening the horizons to the option of giving another use to old industrial facilities.

description:
The digital condition has changed the nature of textual scholarship at the most fundamental level and has affected  the way editors and scholars work and the research questions they attempt to answer. The volume Digital Scholarly Editing: theories and practices —edited by Matthew James Driscoll & Elena Pierazzo— concerns the field of "textual editing" and in particular "digital scholarly editing", i.e. scholarly digital editions of historical textual sources and documents. Drawing together the work of established and emerging researchers, it offers a sustained reflection on the practices involved in producing, editing and reading digital scholarly editions—and the theories that underpin them.
The volume consists of two parts, which, as announced in the title, focus respectively on the Theory and Practice of digital scholarly editing. The main theoretical issues discussed are: a definition for digital scholarly editions; the changes that have occurred in the transition from print to digital; and the practices involved in the production, publishing and reading of digital scholarly editions. In terms of practice, the reader will find critical presentations of specific case-studies, as well as a discussion on specific methodological issues, such as the need to encode the critical apparatus or enrich the encoding schema for correspondence corpora.
This collection is essential reading for editors, scholars, students and readers who are invested in the future of textual scholarship and the digital humanities.

description: The book pursues a writing from many voices and from many languages, which address how literature and art are able to introduce tools and methods into theoretical research, as well as how material spatial (critical) practices allow possibilities of transferring writing, 'voices' and 'images' from texts to other places of meaning (as in visual micrographs). In this context, physical location becomes text in the processes of site-specific writing, which (the text) itself has many different specific sites that can become objects of processing. The artistic subject in the threshold position of "writer and reader" at the interface of an internal dialogue (with the self), as well as an external one (with the referential personal and collective "library"), in the context of the textual relations involved (both trans-poetic and intra-poetic), interposes creative inventive mechanisms, different methods or tactics of writing (potential literature, surrealistic, etc.), and also different techniques and modes of reading (e.g. imaginative, unconscious, of lost characters, poetic misreading, etc.) via archetypal patterns (such as labyrinth, rhizome, circular and linear routines, etc.). The entangled "image" of imagination and memory that arises in daydreaming meets the performative handmade realization of materiality in the constructional acts. The Appendix in this book presents the plastic spatiality of the text, in the times of the workshops in the laboratory, as embodied gestures with applied technologies on the page as so as performative praxis around the paper. The spatial micrographs (miniatures) correspond to the mirrored (heterotopic) constitution of personal microcosms.

description: The book consists of two parts. In Part A we review some basic concepts from linear algebra, as these form the basis of what we will be looking at. We study the numerical solution of a linear system with a square matrix using direct methods, which compute the exact solution in a predetermined number of steps, known in advance. We also study iterative methods, where we construct a sequence of vectors that converge to the solution of the linear system. In addition, we consider linear systems with a non-square matrix, where we search for vectors that minimise an appropriate function, like e.g., a residual. We then address the problem of locating the eigenvalues of a matrix and consider methods for solving nonlinear equations and systems. Part B deals with the numerical solution of initial value problems (I.V.P.) for first-order systems of ordinary differential equations. The simplest numerical method for solving the initial value problem (I.V.P.) is Euler's method. We also consider other single-step methods, and more generally the Runge-Kutta family of methods. We also study the linear multistep methods. Their implementation is economical, and this is why they appeared and were applied before the advent of computers. We study these methods' stability, consistency, accuracy, and order of convergence. The implicit Runge-Kutta methods are more demanding to implement than both explicit Runge-Kutta methods and multistep methods. However, they have higher accuracy and excellent stability properties. We also consider stiff linear differential equations. Some numerical methods are unstable and require a small step size to approximate well the exact solution of these problems. This stability property associated with the approximate solution of a method for a stiff differential equation problem is called absolute stability.
