description: The present text is a collective effort and addresses issues of international architecture and the city, which developed mainly during the 20th century. The studies that make up this volume demonstrate that architecture is realized through processes and that architects are in conversation with the institutions that influence the data of design. The texts, each one individually, are tools for orienting historical research and allow for the exploration of landscapes of the past, while at the same time being occasions for understanding the present.

description: This textbook focuses on the analysis of the fundamental guidelines for the design of normal (shallow) geothermal energy systems by presenting and analyzing examples of their application in real-world scenarios. This guide serves as a natural continuation of the book "Normal Geothermy - Design Principles of Geothermal Systems and Applications" of the Kallipos Repository and consists of two parts (Part A' and Part B'). In Part A', a direct connection is made with the first book, where all the knowledge and required methodology for ensuring the proper study and design of geothermal systems are summarized in the form of a technical guide. The first chapter presents the types of geothermal systems and typical applications where they are used. The second chapter analyzes the process of estimating the geothermal potential of a region in the Hellenic territory. The third chapter describes the methodology for designing the three basic types of normal geothermal systems: closed-loop systems (vertical and horizontal) and open-loop systems. The fourth chapter focuses on the proposed method of economic analysis of geothermal systems. Part B' is a guide to technical applications, including detailed examples of real installations applying the methodology described in Part A'. Each presented example consists of independent content, considering different buildings or applications, in different regions with distinct geodynamics, climatic conditions and needs (e.g., installation of a closed-loop vertical geothermal system for cooling, heating, and domestic hot water in a residential building,  application of district heating and cooling in public buildings using the open geothermal system, application for heating of greenhouses in the agricultural area using shallow geothermal).

description: The book, which is devided in nine chapters and two appendices, presents the basic elements of Byzantine Hymnography, i.e. liturgical poetry, from the first hymns, to which a brief mention is made, to the original creations of the Byzantine era, the hymnographic genres of the apogee of hymnography, i.e. the Kontakion and the Canon. For these two kinds of hymns a relatively detailed presentation of their characteristics as well as the various theories related to their birth, establishment and presentation is made. At the same time, the most important representatives of the genres and translated and annotated excerpts from some of their important works are presented. The work of Romanos the Melodist has a special place in this collection, to whom two chapters (3 and 4) are dedicated. In a separate chapter (chapter 5) the presentation of the most important kontakion, the Akathistos Hymn, is made. The second large part of the book consists of four chapters and is dedicated to the textual genre of the Canon. The first of these (chap. 6) is dedicated to the theory related to the Canon (characteristics, birth, use, etc.), while the next three chapters present the most important Byzantine canon writers and excerpts from their works. The most extensive of these is chapter 8 in which the most important hymn writers of the apogee of the genre (9th-10th centuries) are presented. The content of the book closes with two appendices, the first of which briefly presents the most important Byzantine female hymn writer, Cassia, while the second is the glossary of the manual.

description: Ernest Maglischo reveals the science behind the training principles that led his teams to 13 NCAA national championships at the Division II level and 19 conference championships. This book is the definitive reference on stroke technique and training methods for swimming. It shows you how to apply scientific information to the training process so that you can swim stronger and faster. Swimming Fastest addresses not only the how but also the why of training. It's the one source that you can turn to for reliable information about hydrodynamics and exercise physiology, giving you all the information you need to evaluate present and future concepts of training and stroke mechanics. Swimming Fastest covers every aspect of competitive swimming. The book is heavily illustrated, with more than 500 illustrations and photos featuring world-class swimmers. Sequences of photos taken from the front, side, and underneath views show you exactly how to perform competitive strokes, starts, and turns. This book is a source that coaches and athletes will pull down from their shelves again and again for reference. In part I Maglischo masterfully explains the mechanics of competitive swimming. He presents detailed technique analysis of the four primary strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. He also explores the roles of stroke rate, stroke length, and drag reduction and reevaluates the role of lift forces and the Bernoulli principle in swimming propulsion. He explains the complex relationship between stroke length and stroke rate and swimming speed, and he reviews recent findings on the physical basis of swimming propulsion and the techniques that swimmers use to apply propulsive force. Part II explains the physiology behind the most effective training methods and provides detailed sample workouts and training programs for each event. Maglischo provides critical information to help you train more accurately and monitor your training more effectively. He evaluates current training theory, explaining why the anaerobic threshold theory of training needs revision and why muscle fiber types are important to swim training. Maglischo also presents important new studies that define the relationship between endurance and sprint training, and he suggests their implications for training. Part III addresses topics that pertain specifically to competition and racing. Maglischo shares his insights and recommendations for pre-race tapering, establishing race pace, racing strategies, and post-race routine. Every swimming coach and serious swimmer will benefit from this book. Swimming Fastest will be the first resource you turn to when you want to trim precious seconds off your best times.

description:
In the third book of his Metamorphoses, Ovid focuses on the city of Thebes, its mythical founder, Cadmus, and the ominous adventures of his offspring. Lines 511-733 narrate the conflict between Pentheus, the young prince of Thebes, who adamantly opposes to the introduction of the worship of Dionysus in his city, and Acoetes, a captive who tries in vain to warn Pentheus about the dangers of his rejection of the god. Acoetes, who is most likely none other than Dionysus himself in disguise, recounts the miraculous transformation of his Tyrrhenian companions into dolphins by the god as a punishment for their disrespect towards him. Unfortunately, Pentheus, failing to give due attention to Acoetes' cautionary tale, meets a tragic death at the hands of the raging maenads on Mount Cithaeron.
        Ingo Gildenhard, Professor of Classical Philology at King’s College, University of Cambridge, and Andrew Zissos, Professor of Classical Philology at the University of California, Irvine, offer a modern commentary on this particular section of Ovid's Metamorphoses. The six chapters of the Introduction provide the reader with a clear and accessible discussion of broader topics related to Ovid’s life, work, and era, as well as more specialized subjects like the generic peculiarity of the Metamorphoses, intertextuality, characterization, and even aspects of Roman religion. The main commentary is organized into chapters based on the content of Ovid’s narrative, each of which includes the Latin text, vocabulary, comprehension questions, interpretative comments (covering a wide range of grammatical, syntactical, metrical, stylistic, content, and ideology), topics for further discussion, and a bibliography. The commentary is complete with a chapter on Latin metrics, a glossary of rhetorical terms and syntactical structures, and an extensive bibliography.

description: This book deals with the numerical integration of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and it can be used by science and engineering students who have attended an introductory course on numerical analysis. Chapter 1 is a short introduction to numerical methods for ODEs. In Chapter 2 we review background knowledge that will be used in the next chapters. Chapters 3 and 4 concern Runge-Kutta (RK) methods. In particular, an introduction to explicit methods up to the fourth order is given in Chapter 3, and the theory of RK methods as developed by Butcher is given in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 is devoted to Partitioned RK methods and Two-Derivative RK methods. Linear multistep methods (Adams-Bashforth, Adams-Moulton) are reviewed in Chapter 6. The next two chapters deal with second-order ODEs where the first derivative does not appear. Runge-Kutta-Nyström methods are reviewed in Chapter 7 and multistep methods in Chapter 8. Several test problems are presented in Chapter 9. The last 3 chapters (10, 11, 12) introduce the students to current research in the field such as symplectic methods and methods with special properties.

description: In this book we present an introduction to Stochastic Operations Research, a discipline focused on creating mathematical techniques for assessing performance and optimizing systems and processes that operate under uncertainty. Our primary aim is to provide the reader with a thorough understanding of how to apply the fundamental methods of Stochastic Operations Research with precision, as well as to analyze numerous applications, without overwhelming complexity. To achieve this objective, we present the theoretical framework in an exact and concise manner, including assumptions and mathematical results, along with simplified proofs and explanations, without excessive technical details. From a mathematical perspective, the book focuses on two essential methodological tools: Stochastic Processes with Cost Structure and Stochastic Dynamic Programming. Within the first category we analyze some fundamental models, such as renewal processes and Markovian processes with associated costs. We then extend this framework by introducing decision-making aspects, resulting in the exploration of Stochastic Dynamic Programming and Markov Decision Processes under different optimization criteria. In terms of practical applications, we present an introduction to two core areas: Queueing Theory and Inventory Management. We formulate and analyze problems in these areas utilizing the methods developed in first part. We include an introduction to Queueing Theory, with references to various problem types and an emphasis on modeling and performance assessment. We also consider problems related to the optimal design and dynamic control of service systems. Lastly, we present an introduction to Inventory Management Theory, covering essential concepts and highlighting stochastic models dealing with demand uncertainty.

The rise of the Ottomans, from their emergence to their establishing their empire in the Balkans and Asia Minor during the 14th century, can be identified as the major condition of Byzantine history at the same period. Especially since they established their bridgehead in Thrace (mid 14th century) and began their Balkan conquests, their progress brought the continuous weakening of the Byzantine state and became a catalyst for all other major developments in Byzantine history since. The present study aims at a full investigation of the relations between Byzantium and the Ottomans, as well as to the effect of the Ottoman factor to the Byzantine historical developments, up to the landmark year 1402. This study also aims at a broader and deeper examination of the subject as compared with the previous bibliography. Its contribution lies not only to the more detailed
coverage of the subject, but also to the critical approach of many special topics of those encountered as the study deploys.

description: An annotated presentation of bibliographical titles that cover the history of christianity from its beginnings to the present day. The titles are classified to sources and secondary literature, and they are divided to 21 chapters according to chronological criteria (a chapter for the first three centuries, the 4th, 5th, 6th c., and chapters for medieval, middle-byzantine, late-byzantine, late-medieval era, etc. until the 20th c.), while there are chapters for the Slavic and the non-european christianity as well as for the orthodox church of Greece (chapter 21). Before the 21 chapters there is a first part which contains a methodological introduction to the history of christianity in two chapters: one for the history of the object of history of christianity and a second for an introduction to bibliographical tools (instrumenta studiorum) together with instructions of their use in order to deal with a historical problem. The second part enumerates the sources in a numerical series independently for each chapter, while there is a subclassification number in case of bigger unities (e.g. works of a single writer, genres such as Saints’ Lives etc.). The titles of the secondary sources are enumerated with the designation of Delta (=Deuterevousa, Greek for secondary). The focus of the whole literature collection lies on the orthodox christianity (trying to cover all other forms and areas of christianity also) and the sources and the secondary literature being treated take into consideration the greek public. Yet, the overall criterion of the selection of the literature is the impact on the indigenous and the international state of art.

description: The present book focuses on current psycho-pedagogical issues concerning the student population. At the same time, it highlights the multidimensional role of today’s teachers, who are called upon more than ever to ensure the socio-emotional support of the student population, facilitating in this way students’ school adjustment and therefore their learning process. Particularly, the first part of the book describes the school reality, as it has been formed to date by a series of events that have affected our country (chapter 1). Subsequently, the resulting necessity of students’ psycho-pedagogical support, through the counseling role of teachers, emerges (chapter 2). In the second part of the book, current fields of the psycho-pedagogical dimension of the teaching profession are analyzed, which are often met in the school context. These fields include school crises (chapter 3), incidents of violence and bullying (chapter 4), experiences of loss, such as divorce and bereavement (chapter 5), and incidents of domestic violence and child abuse (chapter 6). In the third part of the book, the importance of students’ psychosocial and learning enhancement is highlighted, through strengthening their psychological resilience (chapter 7), their professional guidance and development (chapter 8), as well as the cooperation between school and family (chapter 9). The fourth and final part of the book attempts a brief critical discussion of some key concluding findings, limitations and proposals to further support teachers’ role in enhancing students’ psychosocial and learning adaptation in the school context. The book is considered a modern material for training and self-reflection on key psycho-pedagogical topics, both for student and working teachers of primary and secondary education, as well as for any other professional specialty that (co)works with members of the school community.

description: Although the term “Electronic Music” originally derives from Elektronische Musik, from the 1950s onwards it gradually expanded to include all kinds of music produced with the aid of new media, especially those distinguished for their exploratory and experimental nature. This vast musical area covers a wide range of diverse compositional practices and techniques: Musique Concrète, Elektronische Musik, Electroacoustic music, Acousmatic Music, and Computer Music, as well as genres of urban electronic music such as Intelligent Dance Music (IDM) and various forms of the Aesthetic of Failure (glitch, noise). Initially produced in academic institutions and research centres which were established mainly in Europe and America, it eventually spread widely as technology became more accessible to the general public. The present work traces this fascinating course of history which roughly begins in the early 20th century at the birth of Modernism and ends in the first two decades of the 21st century.

description: A significant part of the flora of the ligneous plants found in Greece are of exotic origin. Some species of alien trees and shrubs have been recorded since ancient times; however, the majority has been introduced after the 16th century and today many come from different continents. In the first chapter of the present book, the attributes and uses of alien species are discussed. Most exotic trees and shrubs are cultivated for their ornamental value and their contribution to improving the quality of the urban and suburban environment. Some have been used for fruit or timber production. In the past, fast growing trees were usually planted more or less systematically in productive and protective reforestations. Some foreign species with a highly competitive capacity have become naturalized and found suitable ground for their expansion. In the latter case, when they pose a potential threat to native biodiversity, they are characterized as "invasive". In the second chapter there is a description of the most important alien genera and species which have been distinguished into four major physiognomic groups. In the first group, species which are gymnosperms are described in detail. These are mainly conifers with the addition of Gingko biloba and cycad plants (Cycas spp.). In the second group the angiosperm tree species which are conventionally identified as "broadleaves" have been included. The third group contains the lianas and climbing shrubs whereas the fourth group includes palm trees and some other monocots which have tree or shrub growth (phanerophytes). For the presentation of genera and species, information is given on nomenclature, geographical distribution and origin, morphology, phenological data, ecology, biological requirements and ecological zone. In addition, reference is made to the currently known uses of the species and to the most popular or more common commercial varieties.

description:
In the first part of the manual we study the birth of the Greek city-state, the role of the nation in this birth, its evolution, the stages of its institutional integration and its ideal type as a political unity. We study its basic functions and the relations between the cities. Then we examine the intermediate political form of the Hellenistic Kingdoms, before the transition to the Roman Empire, where we examine first the creation of the Roman state and the function of the Roman Republic. At the end of the first part, we examine the Roman Empire of Augustus with the apparition of the first centralized State and the ideology of universality, which is achieved with the administrative unification of the Empire.

 In the second part of the manual, we consider the Carolingian Empire as a form of government “from above”, whose decline leaves room for new institutions of stability which are due to the seigneurial organization of the European Space. The privatization of power leads to the “feudal anarchy” which is stabilized thanks to the concentration of power associated with the “feudal kingdoms”. The clash of the feudal kingship with the supra-national forms of organization such as the Catholic Church and the Empire led to the “territorial kingdom”, which coexists with the free cities, before being replaced by the “sectarian State”.

The third part starts with the analysis of the absolutist state based on the French paradigm in chapter 9. After setting the conceptual framework of the absolutist monarchy, we shall demonstrate the basic mechanisms which developed in it. We shall focus on the basic executive mechanisms of the absolutist state, as well as on its limitations. In the 10th chapter, we shall focus on the modern state. After the discussion of parliamentarism, as it developed in England, the focus shifted to the French revolutionary paradigm and then to the procedures of the construction of the German state in the 19th century.  In the end, we shall consider the two states which dominated the bipolar world, before analyzing the crisis of the state in the 70’s.

description: In the era of the 4th industrial revolution, organizations are redefining their business models and strategies, emphasizing issues of flexibility, partnerships and the way their task is executed, formulating strategies to attract and retain people with the appropriate knowledge, abilities and skills, who are able to ensure their long-term competitiveness. At the same time, the role of the human resources department becomes more central in the implementation of their strategy. Some issues raised by both academics and HRM practitioners relate to a) how the global context is transforming the role of executives and the human resource function, b) the ability of management systems to collect and process data in order to improve organizational effectiveness, c) the efforts of organizations to be desirable workplaces through actions to develop a strong "employer brand", d) the utilization of the findings of positive sciences for a better understanding of management theories and practices, e) the importance of strategic management of human resources, and technology for competitiveness, f) the quest for new ways of harmonizing human and systemic capabilities based on quality. The book focuses on the concept and importance of human resource management for quality and sustainable excellence, especially in today's complex international context that requires flexibility, continuous improvement and high performance work systems. It also presents a range of contemporary relevant topics for readers to understand the characteristics and effects of the international context on human resource management and ultimately evaluate critical parameters that affect the effectiveness of management systems.

description: Soils are central to life on Earth because they provide food, clean water and air due to their filtering capacity; raw materials; habitats for living organisms; and climate resilience via carbon sequestration, therefore supporting a variety of ecosystem services. Despite this, soil’s life-sustaining functions have been underestimated until recently, and few people seem to be aware of them. It is now clear that soil plays an active role in maintaining life and that life is unable to exist without it. The insights about soils that have been gleaned over the last few decades have revealed that these complex systems are fragile, scarce, non-renewable, threatened resources as well as a crucial link between local and global environmental issues. Pedology is the study of soils as they occur in their environment. This includes soil morphology, formation, genesis, classification, and mapping. These topics make pedology relevant for tackling global issues such as soil, food, energy and water security, and climate regulation and human health. Pedology is the study of soils as they occur in their environment. This includes soil morphology, formation, genesis, classification and cartography. These topics make pedology relevant for tackling global issues such as soil, food, energy and water security, and climate regulation and human health. Pedology is an integrative and extrapolative science. Pedologists integrate an understanding of landscapes, vegetation patterns, climate and human activity into knowledge about soils and their distribution and extrapolate their knowledge into soil maps. Pedology is the "heart", the "soul" and the "artistry" of soil science: the "heart" because it integrates all the components of soils in their landscapes; the "soul" because it deals with concepts of soil morphology and genesis; the "artistry" because it deals with the location and patterns of soils. Pedology is the "glue" that holds soil science together and is the hard core of soil science that does not fit with any other science discipline.

description: Photoelectrochemistry of semiconductors is a relatively new field of Electrochemistry, dealing with the electrochemical processes occurring at the interfaces of semiconducting materials with electrolytic solutions, both in the absence and presence of illumination. It is an interdisciplinary field that relies on principles from Semiconductor Physics, Electrochemistry, and Photochemistry. Although the first known reference to the photoelectrochemical phenomenon was made by Bequerel 170 years ago, the real development of this scientific field began after 1950. This growth was due to the availability of single-crystal semiconductors suitable for fundamental research and a better understanding of many physicochemical properties of these materials. The peculiarities the semiconductor/electrolyte heterojunctions present compared to their metal/electrolyte counterparts under light, make semiconducting materials particularly suitable for applications in solar energy utilization, environmental protection, organic synthesis, chemical etching, anti-corrosion protection, and many other fields. The photoelectrochemical phenomenon, along with the photovoltaic effect and plant photosynthesis, are the only methods capable of directly converting solar energy into useful energy. The potential provided by Photoelectrochemistry for the direct conversion of sunlight into chemical or electrical energy led to its rapid development after the 1970s. During that period, the first photoelectrochemical cells for converting solar energy into electricity appeared, significantly contributed to by eminent electrochemists like H. Gerischer, A. Bard, R. Memming, A. Fujishima, and H. Grätzel, among others. These cells constitute an intermediate state between common galvanic cells and photovoltaic cells, and with appropriate modifications, they achieve not only the conversion of solar energy into electricity but also the direct splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen or the reduction of CO2 into useful chemical compounds. Among other applications, the inactivation of toxic substances and pathogenic microorganisms in water and air is of particular interest, integrating solar energy into the purification process (heterogeneous photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, self-cleaning surfaces), a field with intense research activity over the last three decades.

description:
Proper description is essential for locating objects in collections and for the enhancement of their value. This textbook aims to take a comprehensive approach to the field of museum object documentation in the context of museum collection management. After introducing the concept of museums and the description of their objects, it then specifies the guidelines and standards related to the creation of metadata and the process of knowledge representation.
To achieve the above objective, the textbook is based on three main axes. The first axis concerns the concept of the museum as a cultural heritage institution and how descriptions of objects create structured metadata. Finally, it shows how metadata, although not a substitute for resources, can function as such in the context of performing specific tasks.
The second axis analyses standards and guidelines related to museum collections documentation. Specific metadata schemas and description guidelines are analyzed, such as Cataloging Cultural Objects (CCO), VRA, etc., whose use is widespread in museums around the world.
The third axis concerns how technologies that promote knowledge representation - such as semantic networks, knowledge graphs and ontologies - are transforming the documentation ecosystem of museum objects. In this context, the focus shifts from the mere description of an individual object to the context in which it is conceptualized and interpreted. For this approach, the reference point is the CIDOC-CRM ontology, which is captured in the international standard ISO 21127:2023. This ontology was developed - and continues its development - under the auspices of the International Council of Museums (ICOM).

description: Nowadays the northeastern Aegean islands of Lesbos, Chios, Lemnos, Samos and Ikaria experience during the late Ottoman period (1876-1912) their capitalist transformation and gradual entry into modernity, a process ongoing throughout the "long" 19th century. Profound changes in the economy and society of the islands are also observed during the first decades of the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Greek state (1912-1940).  In this study, the world of the above islands is examined during the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, in relation to the changes that took place during this period in the wider Mediterranean and European area. In particular, the subject of this study is the transition processes of the islands from the Ottoman Empire to the Greek state and the reception of the changing historical conditions of the period 1876-1940 by the historical subjects themselves, the inhabitants of the islands, who are not treated as passive receivers of influences from  the West, but as participants in shaping historical becoming. Relatively to the issues that are examined here, which certainly go beyond the narrow framework of local history, we  approach historical searches which are connected not only to the concept of insularity, approaching every aspect of communication and interconnection, but also to isolation that stamp these insular places.

description: This digital textbook provides theoretical and applied knowledge of piano pedagogy issues, to prepare university music students to teach beginner piano students (from their first steps at the piano, up to the first years of piano instruction), regardless of age and teaching environment. Each chapter includes a theoretical background addressing a range of teaching approaches to accommodate the different cognitive and motor abilities according to age. The theoretical background enables young teachers to identify individual learning challenges and promote inclusive lesson plans. The analysis of learning outcomes of lessons designed to address various music and motor skills, as well as the description of instrumental teaching challenges in different ages and teaching environments, aim to ensure the adequate theoretical background of students for their future teaching perspectives. The digital textbook also provides practical application of the theoretical concepts including indicative lesson plans and activities that aim to develop the musical abilities of a new pianist via a holistic approach. In addition, extended bibliographical references on international research and applied methodologies enable the familiarisation of university students with a broad spectrum of methods for beginners, including formal and informal learning approaches and current digital applications. Contemporary developments in the piano pedagogy field suggest that aside from the development of technique and repertoire teaching, piano pedagogy also encompasses fields such as ear training, sight reading, improvisation, group teaching, and so forth. As a result, all these teaching subjects are key elements around which this textbook revolves.

en: Mechanical Engineering / Process Engineering

description: This book is intended to accompany “introductory” courses in Mechanical Engineering, which are frequently encountered in first year Mechanical Engineering curricula. In almost every Engineering department, the goal of the first years of study is to provide the necessary foundations, drawing heavily from mathematical and physical sciences. The experience is often disheartening for young students, who are eager to venture into the world of “real engineering”. However, it is often the case that first year students are not aware of the essence of the disciplines that they are about to study or they perceive Mechanical Engineering as a pre-determined execution of procedures for the sizing, maintenance or repair of machines or installations. Although these are indeed some aspects of the Mechanical Engineering practice, the full range of the challenge of becoming a well-versed Mechanical Engineer emerges only when one adds the elements of design and innovation. The purpose of this book is to provide students with a timely perspective of Mechanical Engineering, without going too far into matters that will be the subject of deeper and more extensive analysis in one or more courses later on in their studies. The Mechanical Engineering practice is presented within the general framework of technological progress while the importance of innovation is underlined. The student is introduced to an engineering approach to applied problems of analysis, design and even construction and the benefits are many: interest is aroused, useful methods of thought and approaches are introduced and experience is gained in the hands-on application of theories and ideas. Finally, the student obtains an holistic perspective of the role of Mechanical Engineering in the progress of technology and, ultimately, society.

description: In the first chapter we briefly present the concepts, which are needed throughout the book. In the second chapter we present the theory of Polish spaces. Emphasis is put on the fundamental spaces of Baire and Cantor and on the concept of a tree. We study the Cantor-Bendixson Theorem, some universal properties of Polish spaces and the zero-dimensional Polish spaces. Further we present some topological characterizations of the Baire space and the Cantor space. The third chapter is concerned with the general theory of pointclasses in Polish spaces as well as the fundamental operators from logic and set theory. We introduce two of the most fundamental types of pointclasses: the Borel pointclasses of finite order and the projective pointclasses. Further related concepts are studied, such as the completeness with respect to a pointclass, the uniformization and the separation of sets. The fourth chapter is concerned with Borel sets and Borel-measurable functions. We study the Borel-isomorphism Theorem, the relation between sets and injective functions, and we prove the well-known representation of Borel sets as the continuous injective images of closed subsets of the Baire space. Finally, we present the Borel pointclasses of transfinite order and we prove their fundamental properties. In the fifth chapter we study deeper the pointclass of analytic sets. We give the proofs of some fundamental results about this pointclass: the Lusin Separation Theorem, the Susin Theorem, the Perfect Set Theorem, the Kunen-Martin Theorem and the theorem on the measurability of analytic sets. The sixth chapter is concerned with the deeper study of the pointclass of coanalytic sets and their applications in the uniformization of Borel sets. We present a new approach to the later with techniques from effective descriptive set theory. In the seventh chapter we present some elements from game theory and its applications in descriptive set theory. The eighth chapter is concerned with some applications from graph theory. The notes contain a large collection of exercises of varying difficulty. Hints and solutions are given in the appendix.

description: Knowledge of biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, pathophysiology-pathology, analytical chemistry, toxicology, and biostatistics are all combined in the scientific field of Clinical Biochemistry. Its goals include identifying appropriate biomarkers for disease differential diagnosis and researching the metabolic abnormalities that underlie the various diseases. Clinical Biochemistry also addresses the creation of suitable methods for the identification and measurement of these biomarkers as well as their use in prognosis and diagnosis of various diseases. Lastly, the goal of Clinical Biochemistry is to develop and implement suitable analytical techniques for tracking the efficacy and/or adverse effects of pharmacological treatments for a range of diseases. The target audience for this textbook, "Clinical Biochemistry-Diagnostics," is medical practitioners who operate in biochemistry labs of hospitals and diagnostic centers. Additionally, university students in the departments of Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, and other biomedical fields are targeted; these students should have a foundational understanding of organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry as well as biochemistry and molecular biology. The book's content is organized in a way that gives readers up-to-date knowledge on pathological biochemistry and physiology as it relates to the human body's systems and organs, as well as the biomarkers that are currently used to predict the prognosis of various diseases. Furthermore, the content covers fundamental concepts related to the setup and maintenance of a clinical chemistry laboratory, including quality control. The fundamentals of biostatistics and their uses in clinical biochemistry are covered, along with laboratory techniques for identifying different biomarkers that are employed in routine clinical practice. We believe that professionals working in the field of clinical biochemistry as well as students who choose to study the scientific field of clinical biochemistry in the framework of their coursework will find this book especially helpful.

description:
The text provides an overview of the concept of museums and their collections, offering both a theoretical background and examples of good practice. It presents a brief historical development of the course of museums, from nuclei of private collections to spaces of public debate and fields of social cohesion, with special reference to Greece.
The concept of the museum as an idea is examined, how it relates to museology, which studies the theory and practice of the museum, transcribing and interpreting scientific data in a way that is comprehensible to the public, and the dimensions of the museum as a public good.
The concept of museum management as a complex organisation is defined, the different types of museums, the functions and departments of museum organisations, management policies and museum professions are presented.
Collecting policy in the contemporary context of cultural heritage protection is discussed. The collections are considered as the 'heart' of the museum, the paragraph discusses the acquisition of collections, the legal framework and codes of ethics and morals are discussed, and a case study of donation is mentioned as an example of good practice on museum collecting policy and how it 'talks' to the permanent collection of a particular museum.
The approach to object conceptualisation is discussed, and models for object study are discussed. It also considers how we move from the documentation and meaning-making of objects to narrative.
The main axes of organising the museum's collection are presented, in particular the creation of catalogues and registers that include historical and informational documentation of objects using international standards. Special reference is made to the use of controlled standardised vocabularies to convey the meaning of museum objects.
Finally, an overview is given of the development of the educational role of the museum, and how this has been shaped on the basis of relevant educational theories and epistemological data.

description:
The science of Oceanography deals with the entire marine environment, i.e. seawater (coastal – open sea, shallow -deep systems), marine ecosystems (plankton, fishes, mammals etc), sea bottom (coastal and deep zones), currents, waves, marine pollution etc.
The main target of Oceanography is to increase our knowledge about the marine environment in order to ensure proper management following the principles of sustainable development all over our planet. In order to achieve its goal Oceanography incorporates techniques from other sciences, i.e. Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Geology, Economy, Law etc.
Chemical Oceanography (or Marine Chemistry) studies the chemical processes taking place in the marine environment, including sea bottom, marine ecosystems, estuaries, lagoons, air-sea exchanges etc. The study of marine pollution is of high priority in the research of Chemical Oceanography in parallel with the study of the exploitation of marine resources without affecting the marine ecosystems.
This book includes subjects concerning all parts of the marine environment and the processes taking place there. Chapter 1 provides information about the history of Oceanography in general and especially in Greece at the 20th and 21th  centuries. The main chemical processes in seawater are discussed in chapters 2,3,6,7. The main characteristics of sea bottom and marine sediments are presented in chapter 4. Chapter 5 contains a brief overview of marine life and ecosystems as well as the processes of photosynthesis and chemosynthesis. Some of the processes taking place at interfaces of sea water with marine sediments, fresh water, atmosphere, and marine organisms are presented in chapter 8. This book contains chapters relative to geology (chapters 2 & 4), biology (chapter 5) and physics (chapter 3). The significant problem of marine pollution is presented at length in chapter 9 with emphasis to the Mediterranean Sea. The methodology of Chemical Oceanography research and the main techniques that are used at field work are presented in chapter 10, whereas some key laboratory analytical techniques concerning seawater and sediments are present in chapter 11.

description: This book aspires to provide an extensive introduction to the Numerical Analysis of Partial Differential Equation (PDE) problems and to serve as a textbook for both advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in this topic. The presentation of two popular categories of methods is chosen: Finite Difference Methods (FDM) and Finite Element Methods (FEM). The volume contains a brief, and inevitably incomplete, review of basic PDE theory (Chapters 1 and 7) covering key concepts, properties and results, as well as some advanced topics in modern PDE theory, such as the weak form, Lebesgue and Sobolev function spaces, energy method etc. Chapter 2 gives a brief introduction to divided differences and presents the basic finite difference method for the one-dimensional second-order boundary value problem. We proceed by presenting finite difference methods for parabolic (Chapter 3), linear hyperbolic (Chapter 4), nonlinear hyperbolic (Chapter 5), and elliptic PDE problems (Chapter 6), with special attention to the study of consistency, stability and convergence of the methods, for which we prove basic error estimates. Next, we proceed with the presentation and analysis of finite element methods for linear elliptic problems (Chapter 8). We present FEM for parabolic problems in Chapter 9. In Chapter 10, an introduction to the so-called, a posteriori error analysis is given, which is then used to define algorithms for automatically adjusting the local "resolution" of FEM for elliptic and parabolic problems. Chapter 11 gives the basic principles and error analysis of the Discontinuous Galerkin Method for these problems. Finally, in Chapter 12, we present some advanced topics in FEM theory. In particular, some basic concepts are given for the definition of high-order finite elements, as well as a space-time FEM with time stepping defined via a discontinuous Galerkin method.

description: In the modern era, cultural diplomacy constitutes a key pillar of the strategic planning of the actors of the international environment. Cultural diplomacy is implemented through a wide range of activities and offers countries and organizations the opportunity to enhance their public image and maximize their soft power. The textbook approaches a number of special issues of cultural diplomacy in an attempt to highlight its multidimensional role on a political, social and economic level. Each chapter of the book focuses on a distinct field, linked to the cultural diplomacy. More specifically, the book analyses the objectives and the specific practices of cultural diplomacy with reference to cultural heritage, education, sports, tourism, cities and museums, nation branding, religion; in addition, it designates the dimensions of phenomena, such as the propaganda, cultural imperialism and cultural genocide. The textbook also makes reference to institutional initiatives at the international, European and national level, which reflect the dynamic evolution of cultural diplomacy, its interaction with broader areas of policy-making and its designation as a factor of power and development. Through the multidimensional analysis of special fields of cultural diplomacy, the book aims to contribute to the better understanding of their characteristics and to highlight the advantages for countries from the use of their soft power. An additional aim of the textbook is to strengthen the dialogue on the issues of cultural diplomacy and to enhance the interest in less prominent, but equally important, tools of action in the modern political, social and economic affairs.

description: Introduction to the formal analysis of tonal music: Baroque, Classicism is addressed to undergraduate and/or postgraduate students who attend classes in music form and analysis, as well as to professional musicians or music teachers who are interested in deepening their knowledge of the relevant theoretical background and the corresponding analytical methodology. The book contains the necessary material for understanding fundamental theoretical concepts and analytical practices related to common-practice formal structures of Baroque and Classical music. This material concerns the theoretical treatment of historically informed formal typology and the exemplary analytical approach to musical compositions that fall within the stylistic horizon of European art music from the late 17th century to the first decades of the 19th century. The book opens with an introductory examination of tonal music’s structural parameters, including rhythm, meter, pitch, melody, harmony and voice-leading, texture, and motive. In the context of addressing the systematic and balanced manipulation of these parameters as a form-defining procedure, the principle of continuous and sectional variations is examined. The book then proceeds to investigate three of the most emblematic types of formal organization in Baroque music: binary form, ritornello, and fugue. Subsequently, it turns to idiomatic formal structures of Classical music, starting with Classical formal types of intrathematic organization and then proceeding to sonata form as a regulative framework for the interthematic organization of the structural narrative of complete movements from multi-movement works.

Introduction to Physical Processes

keywords:
Unit Operations
Mass-Transfer Processes

description:
The book provides a concise yet systematic exposition of the methodologies for analysing and designing mass-transfer processes. The first part develops mass and energy balances and applies them to a variety of examples of industrial relevance. These examples serve as an informal introduction to the main physical processes. Transient balances are covered in a separate section and are combined with some preliminary ideas of automatic control. Next, the equilibrium thermodynamics of liquid/vapour mixtures are reviewed, followed by the description of mass transfer in multiphase systems. Thus, the necessary background for the analysis and design of physical processes is complete.
In the second part of the book, the main physical processes are introduced. Process equipment is classified according to the mode of contact of interacting streams, as multi-cascade or continuous. Fractional distillation of a binary mixture is analyzed as the representative example of the first category, and gas absorption in a packed column is an example of the second category. Humidification processes are considered next in significant detail because they are central to many engineering applications (cooling towers, air-conditioning, drying etc.) and serve as a paradigm of simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Finally, liquid-liquid extraction and gas adsorption to a porous solid are given introductory consideration, providing examples of additional processes that may be analyzed with similar engineering methodologies.

description:
Το προτεινόμενο βιβλίο απευθύνεται σε προπτυχιακούς φοιτητές που σπουδάζουν σε τμήματα/ σχολές Φυσικής και θα περιέχει λυμένα προβλήματα της Φυσικής της Συμπυκνωμένης Ύλης (ΦΣΥ). Τέτοιου είδους βιβλίο δεν υπάρχει την ελληνική βιβλιογραφία σχετικά με τη ΦΣΥ, τουλάχιστον εξ’ όσων γνωρίζω ο ίδιος. Επίσης και σύμφωνα πάντα με τη δική μου αντίληψη, δεν υπάρχει βιβλίο στην αγγλική το οποίο περιέχει λυμένα προβλήματα στη ΦΣΥ για ένα εισαγωγικό μάθημα πάνω σε αυτό το αντικείμενο. Έτσι λοιπόν, το προτεινόμενο βιβλίο φιλοδοξεί να γίνει το πρώτο, ίσως, βιβλίο που θα επιλύει προβλήματα στη ΦΣΥ και θα λειτουργεί συμπληρωματικά ενός κύριου συγγράμματος που, παραδοσιακά, περιέχει τη σχετική θεωρία μαζί με, ως επί το πλείστον, άλυτες ασκήσεις (αν περιέχει ασκήσεις).

Λόγω της πολυπλοκότητας των προβλημάτων στη ΦΣΥ, αρκετά από τα προβλήματα δεν επιδέχονται αναλυτικής μαθηματικής λύσης και ως εκ τούτου χρήζουν μεθόδων αριθμητικής ανάλυσης. Χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα η εύρεση των ενεργειακών ζωνών σε μονοδιάστατο στερεό που περιγράφεται από το πρότυπο Kronig-Penney (ίσως το απλούστερο κρυσταλλικό στερεό που μπορεί να φανταστεί κανείς) η οποία απαιτεί την αριθμητική επίλυση μη γραμμικών (υπερβατικών) εξισώσεων (βλέπε σχετικό απόσπασμα από ενδεικτικό κεφάλαιο). Έτσι, λοιπόν, στο προτεινόμενο βιβλίο θα περιέχονται και προβλήματα τα οποία επιλύονται μόνο με αριθμητικές μεθόδους όπου και θα παρατίθενται οι αντίστοιχοι αλγόριθμοι – πηγαίοι κώδικες σε γλώσσα FORTRAN 90 η οποία αποτελεί την επικρατούσα γλώσσα προγραμματισμού στις φυσικές επιστήμες. Τα επιλυόμενα προβλήματα αναφέρονται στη διδακτέα ύλη που αντιστοιχεί σε ένα εισαγωγικό μάθημα στη ΦΣΥ το οποίο, επιγραμματικά, καλύπτει τα θέματα του χημικού δεσμού στα στερεά, της κρυσταλλικής δομής και περίθλασης, της δυναμικής του πλέγματος (φωνόνια), των θερμικών ιδιοτήτων, του προτύπου των ελευθέρων ηλεκτρονίων, των ενεργειακών ζωνών ηλεκτρονίων και των ημιαγωγών.

uk: Математика, природничі науки

description: The primary focus of analysis revolves around sedimentary rocks and their deposition mechanisms across the planet. Of particular interest is the dynamic relationship between the different rocks, as well as the processes that govern their sequence. How do these rocks alternate with each other? What processes have shaped their sequence? Answers to these questions can be provided by sequence stratigraphy as it examines the influence of sea level fluctuations, tectonic activity, and climate on sediment deposition, thus providing information about the history of the planet. By analyzing sedimentation patterns and relationships between the different rocks, geologists can reconstruct the history of Earth and gain insights into the processes that have shaped it. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to sequence stratigraphy, covering from basic principles to advanced methodologies and applications. It is designed to be accessible to both students and professionals, providing a comprehensive overview of the field and its significance for understanding Earth history. Readers will learn about various types of sedimentary environments and the processes that shape them. Furthermore, they will explore the various methods used to analyze sedimentary rocks, such as seismic stratigraphy, well correlation, and outcrop data analysis. Additionally, the book covers the latest developments in sequence stratigraphy, including the use of high-resolution data and computer modeling. Ultimately, this book is a testament to the significance of sequence stratigraphy in understanding Earth dynamics. By providing a comprehensive overview of the field, we hope that readers will gain a deeper understanding of the complex processes that have shaped our planet over millions of years.

description: This book is an introduction to the basic principles of discrete signal processing with applications in biomedicine. The goal of the book is not a presentation of all the processes and methods of signal processing, which are also presented in dozens of academic books, but rather their deeper understanding through their implementation in an algorithmic way in a programming language. The book, in its first part, introduces the reader to general concepts of signals, with a focus on medical signals. Then, after introducing basic discrete signal generation functions, basic signal processing concepts are presented, namely convolution, correlation, and Fourier transform. At the same time, applications are being developed using the above procedures, mainly in signal filtering, both in the time and in the frequency domains. The examples used refer mainly to medical signals and images. The second part of the book includes a series of comprehensive laboratory exercises, involving the implementation in a programming language of the theoretical signal processing concepts developed in the first part. Each exercise consists of a brief theory, with the basic knowledge that the student must know in order to carry out the laboratory course followed by solved examples of the concepts of the course with progressive difficulty, and finally topics for practice are included, the solutions of which are at the end of the book. The MATLAB environment was chosen for the implementation of the programs in the book, due to both the simplicity and ease of coding, as well as its great penetration in engineering, both in academic and research as well as in a development environment. However, as the goal of the book is to gain a deeper understanding of the signal processing methods being developed, ready-made MATLAB functions for signal processing are generally not used. Instead, the code is developed using simple algorithmic structures, common to most widely used programming languages.

description: The book “Places of Engagement – A methodological approach to the cultural subtext of architectural design” addresses students of architecture by proposing the systematic investigation of the cultural subtext of design and research by design. It  draws from the position that loci, landscapes, wider realms -such as ecumene, continuum, network- incorporate natural or abstract forms which constitute the cultural underpinnings of architectural design. Under the conditions of place and landscape -natural and manmade- as within the  perceived realms of continuum and network lurk entities and meanings which, once registered by architectural  thinking, become part of the design work in process as embedments or "loans". Following these concepts, the tools of site plan, diagram and program are presented and analyzed regarding their role in the making of architectural intention. The four conditions and the three tools offer a framework for the development of design in architecture. The methodology or methodologies presented in this book allow for multiple readings and ways to prioritize the values of cultural influence throughout the design process. As designs are formulated as architectural praxis, what we refer to as loans are returned as counter-loans to the environment; architecture radiates its own values and feeds anew into the cultural continuum.
