description:
The aim of this book is the study of the electric and magnetic field in static and time-dependent physical systems. Most of the book is devoted to describing the various forms of Maxwell's equations and developing techniques for solving them and finding the electric and magnetic fields resulting from given charge distributions and boundary/initial conditions. For example, introducing the scalar and vector potential is a useful technique for solving Maxwell's equations.
In the introductory mathematical part of the book (chapter 1) there is a review of basic concepts of vector analysis necessary to describe the vector functions corresponding to the electric and magnetic fields, as well as the corresponding integral and differential equations by solving which these fields can arise.
In the first part of the book (chapters 2-7) static physical systems are studied and methods for calculating electromagnetic fields in these systems are developed. In the second part of the book (chapters 8-15) the complete formalization of Maxwell's equations in time-dependent systems is introduced where the correlation and integration of the electric field with the magnetic field becomes apparent since a changing electric field can cause a magnetic field and vice versa. This unification becomes evem clearer in chapter 10, where the relativistic formalism of electrodynamics is introduced, as well as the electromagnetic tensor, which includes the electric and magnetic field components in a single relativistic entity. Electromagnetic waves and their production (electromagnetic radiation) are also introduced and studied in the second part of the book also revealing the unified nature of the electromagnetic field.

description: This textbook fills a large gap in the Greek musicological literature that refers to the analysis of the repertoire of tonal music, and consists of three distinct parts. The first part is a thorough study of the harmonic vocabulary of tonal music, i.e. of the available types of chords and their notation under a view that, more or less, assimilates to the main relevant traditions cultivated in the field of music theory from the 18th up to the 20th century: the harmonic theory of scale-degrees along with thorough-bass figures, the functional harmony of Hugo Riemann but also the reductive harmonic thought of Heinrich Schenker. Furthermore, a holistic investigation on the degrees of relationship between all keys and harmonic regions used in the musical repertoire already from the late 16th century and, at least, up to the early 20th century is presented. The second part of the textbook has the form of a glossary, consisting of numerous entries in Greek and Latin alphabets, which refer to terms relevant to the tradition of tonal music, with emphasis on the established technical terminology for the harmonic and structural analysis, on comprehensive descriptions of music forms and genres, but also on terms that are obviously excessive, unsuitable or even incorrectly rendered in Greek. The entries are designed ή formed in such way so as to operate both independently and within a dense network of interdependent references. The third and last part is a brief guide for writing papers in the field of music analysis, with useful and specialised advice in writing and editing a text, as well as in stylisation and utilisation of the necessary bibliographical references.

description:
This handbook is a tool for applied spatial planning and focuses on the analysis and evaluation of regional spatial frameworks. The aim of the handbook is to provide students with the necessary knowledge for the analysis and evaluation of spatial planning at the regional level, taking into account the Greek institutional and spatial reality.
Spatial planning at the regional level was chosen, since the scale of the region is one of the most important in spatial planning and because it is a subject in spatial planning laboratory courses.
In the first chapter of the textbook, the theoretical framework concerning spatial planning is discussed and the tools of spatial planning with which we will be asked to work are analysed.
Subsequently, the following chapters contain individual exercises that constitute the methodological steps for the evaluation of a spatial planning policy, i.e. an already established Regional Spatial Planning Framework (RSP).
The individual chapters present the subject matter being analysed and evaluated, followed by specific examples, cartographic and diagrammatic material derived from actual evaluations of RSPs (as is the case in the spatial planning laboratory courses), which are currently in place.
Thus, the student is given the opportunity to gain a realistic picture of what it means to analyse-evaluate spatial planning under real data and conditions. The applied examples given relate to more than one region and make use of the best examples of evaluation in each case.

description: The factors affecting the quality of a cycling network are complex. Firstly, it is important to evaluate the geography of the cycling network, namely its density and city coverage. However, it is important to pay also attention to infrastructure characteristics. There are several studies that correlate parameters of infrastructure with the number of accidents. Nevertheless, more important for the success of a cycling network is measuring the sense of security that the network offers to cyclists. Another measure of the quality of a cycling network are stated preference surveys, in which cyclists assess what they consider to be the best cycling infrastructure. A fourth category of research that has dealt with the quality parameters of cycling networks are revealed preference surveys, in which the routes of cyclists are correlated with the infrastructure offered. In many cases what cyclists say they prefer is not actually what they really choose. Finally, papers are also important, which correlate the number of cyclists with the infrastructure offered or papers that evaluate the exposure of cyclists to pollutants or measure uncomfortable vertical vibrations and associate them with the cycling infrastructure. The book collects the above researches, categorizes them and presents them, and exports the factors that are proven to affect the use of a cycling network and should be evaluated. The work is important for students and engineers guiding them when designing a cycling network. In addition, every citizen has to evaluate the quality of infrastructure offered by his city. The evaluation variables that through the above process were extracted for the evaluation of a cycling network are: Connectivity – Density, Continuity, Directness, Slopes, Stops, Dangerous Crossings, Dangerous segments, Night time safety, Surface quality, Infrastructure width, Separation, Guidance Signage, Quality of environment.

description: This book is addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students. It is an anthology of Latin poetry of Late Antiquity (3rd-7th centuries AD). Its subject is the study of the main poetic genres of the period through the texts themselves. In addition to the necessary introduction, from which the reader can draw a lot of information on the historical and political circumstances and the literary trends of this era (e.g., the generic mixture, the emergence of new literary genres or the decline of old ones), a number of poets are studied, corresponding to various literary genres from the 3rd to the 7th century AD. The structure of the book's chapters corresponds to a different literary genre each time (except for Chapters 1 and 12, which correspond to the prologue and epilogue respectively, and Chapter 7, which deals with various poetic genres). In this book, the reader will find a variety of literary genres and poets: epic, epyllion, elegy, bucolic poetry, epigram, panegyrics, epithalamia, Christian poetry, centos, etc., namely Claudian, Dracontius, Reposianus, Maximianus, Rutilius Namatianus, Luxorius, Venantius Fortunatus, etc. Consequently, he/she will be introduced into a not so widely known period of Latin poetry and will complement his/her knowledge of the evolution of its literary genres. All the anthologized Latin texts have been translated into Modern Greek, and a detailed vocabulary follows. Each Latin text is preceded by a summary of the text, and followed by commentaries (with various notes). At the end of each chapter, there is a bibliography and questions. The aims of the present book are to introduce students to a field that is widely studied in recent years, to make them understand the similarities and differences between Latin poetry of Late Antiquity and the Augustan period, and thus to realize its evolution and its original aesthetic value.

description:
This work is an attempt to describe the state of implementation of the new technologies of the Semantic Web and Open Linked Data in the library sector. It is an important handbook since it is the first approach to present the relationship of Open Linked Data with libraries and knowledge organizations in general. It is written in simple language and can provide a good basis for those interested in gaining general knowledge about these technologies.
In the beginning, basic information and concepts about open-linked data are given so that the reader can understand these technologies on a theoretical level, followed by concrete examples of applications in German libraries and organizations. In this way, the reader gains the theoretical background necessary to understand these technologies and learns how they are applied in knowledge organizations.
More specifically, the first chapter deals with the basic concepts and historical developments of linked data and open data, with a focus on the library community. This is followed by an explanation of the technical characteristics of linked data, and then the legal framework for open licensing (access) is described.
The second chapter attempts to provide an overview of the vocabulary currently available for describing bibliographic data as linked data and comparing them without going into excessive detail.
The next chapter deals with the representation of journal publications using FRBRoo, thus solving problems that have been created by the lack of proper documentation and presentation of these collections. While the fourth chapter deals with another important issue concerning the provenance of linked data - a parameter that is very important regarding linked data.
Chapter five discusses the research data. More specifically, open-linked data offers an infrastructure for uniformly describing research data, identifying it clearly, and making it available to as many users as possible. Within this context, the challenges, opportunities, and benefits of a LOD-based infrastructure for describing and linking research data are presented based on the experience gained in the InFoLiS project.
Chapter six introduces the theoretical aspects that are important about catalog enrichment based on (open) linked data and gives an example of how to enrich bibliographic data based on other LOD sources via the LOD lobid.org service.
In chapter seven, various projects and technologies are presented and their potential contributions to the German Digital Library are further elaborated.
Chapter eight presents the challenges and the process followed to create B3Kat in 2011 as Open Data in MARC/XML format and as Linked Open Data in RDF/XML format which is the joint catalog of the Bavarian Library Association (BVB) and the Berlin-Brandenburg Cooperative Library Association (KOBV).
Chapter nine presents the development of an information system for the use of linked data in the field of archaeology.
Finally, the text concludes with appendices on the definition, terminology, and requirements of open knowledge. The principles for open bibliographic data and recommendations for opening up bibliographic data are also mentioned. This is followed by a glossary that includes all the terminology that has been used throughout the work.

description:
This book covers some of the main topics regarding the words of the Italian language. It studies their history and origins in Greek or Latin, their borrowing from other languages (i.e. Spanish and French) and their evolution over time, following the changes occurring on a historical, social and cultural level.
In the book, the semantic system of the Italian language/Italian semantics is firstly examined in the light of the historical-comparative method, which is the one that allows us to interpret the etymology and semantic changes of a large part of the Italian vocabulary.
The main goal of the book is to introduce the foreign language student to the acquisition of the semantic-lexical competence, that is, the ability to use online – at the speech stage – the largest possible part of the Italian vocabulary in the most appropriate way and according to the specifications of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
To this end, building on the Lexical Approach and inspired by the natural and the communicative-cultural approach, this study focuses on three "paths" and on contrastive analysis. Thus, an inventory of 5000 words comprising the basic vocabulary of the Italian language is presented (Vocabolario di Base, VdB: De Mauro, 2016), divided into thematic areas (school, family, daily life, etc.) and language concepts (space, time, etc.) as prescribed in the Curricolo di insegnamento dell’italiano Lingua Straniera nei Licei greci (Minniti Gònias, Athens, 2008).
The overall aim of this book is to enable the general public to become acquainted with the vocabulary of Italian as a language quite different from the standard form, which is usually presented in grammar books and textbooks intended for "foreign language" students (the so-called italiano didattico).

description: This book is an excellent introduction to Roman historiography and the work of the leading Roman historian, Cornelius Tacitus. It is an annotated edition of chapters 20-23 and 33-45 of Book 15 of the Annals, in which Tacitus recounts the shocking events of 62-64 AD. The central event is the great fire of Rome (64 AD) that wiped out much of the city (with an account of both what preceded and what followed). This book is an excellent study of these particularly interesting and turbulent years in Roman history. It makes good use of the available bibliography and is remarkable for its intelligent and engaging style of writing. The extensive Introduction is made up of six highly informative essays. The first three focus on the life, times, and work of Tacitus, while the fourth explores his style and distinctive characteristics. The last two essays paint a vivid portrait of the cultural and political scene in Rome at the time. The Main Part provides the Latin text along with a rich vocabulary and questions that invite the reader to explore various issues, such as grammatical identifications, analysis of sentence structure, legal and political issues. The interpretive comments are very rich in stylistic and historical analysis, analysis of the syntactic structure of sentences, and offer original insight into the word order and Tacitus’ choice of diction.

description:
This book is addressed to students at polytechnic schools and associated university departments offering them complete knowledge on the topic of sustainable mobility and Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP). It is the first greek book that covers this scientific topic, and its necessity is justified, among others, by the fact that the planning of urban mobility systems through a more sustainable and human-centered philosophy is an integral part of the urban design of modern and environmentally friendly cities.
The book has been organized in such a way so that it follows the teaching process of the courses that is about to be taught. More specifically, the first two chapters aim at familiarizing students with the subject of sustainable urban mobility and its necessity, as well as with the SUMPs, their role and content. Afterwards, the students will receive all the necessary knowledge for the implementation of SUMPs, such as the participatory planning, the evaluation of the existing situation, the development of alternative scenarios, the formulation of sustainable mobility measures and the monitoring and evaluation of the performance of sustainable mobility systems. The citation of good practices from Greece and abroad will contribute to the assimilation of the knowledge provided. The most established and emerging systems and models of sustainable urban mobility are also presented; knowledge useful for students who will further engage with the broader subject of urban planning.
The extensive bibliography provided in each chapter, the presentation of technical terms in an understandable way, the provision of many images/pictures for more effective assimilation of knowledge and the numerous evaluation criteria are key advantages of the book that will significantly help teachers in teaching the subject covered by the book.

description: The relationship between good health and a healthy diet is proved  to be stronger today than it used to be inprevious years. Nutrition is the cultural expression of every people and is influenced by the environment, the climate, the endemic flora and fauna as well asthe history and the tradition. Nutrition is a key factor to the development of the body and  itsproper functioning  It also helps you to mantain healthy and protects you  against  various diseases, as long as  the human body receives all the nutrients to perform its main functions. The aim of this book is to correlate nutrition, from conception to childhood, with the development of the child and its effect on the adoption of healthy eating habits that will follow the child into adulthood. Lack of proper nutrition can have an impact on a child's development and future health. Childhood obesity is one of the major issues that need to be addressed immediately, both at the family and educational level.

This textbook contains virtual experiments in Mechanics, Electromagnetism and Optics. Each chapter corresponds to an experiment and includes the theoretical background of the experiment, the experimental method, the simulation of the experimental setup and the corresponding worksheet. The worksheets are in stand-alone printable format and include both links and QR codes of the simulations, which are recorded in video format.
In addition, for each experiment, there are evaluation criteria enriched with educational activities in the form of videos, related to the corresponding theory, which the trainees can carry out and answer corresponding questions. These activities can be used by teachers both in the laboratory and in the teaching of the respective courses.
The virtual experiments presented in the book are simulations-models, with small variations, of the real experiments of the physics educational laboratory of the Department of Physics of the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences of the National Technical University of Athens. Thus it is possible to use this book not only in the case of distance education, but also in the case of live teaching in the laboratory.
More specifically, the contained virtual experiments could be leveraged:
i. Alongside the actual experiment, so that students understand the role of models.
ii. As additional exercises for better practice and assessment of students.
iii. To familiarize the students with the experimental setup and procedure during their preparation for the corresponding real experiment.
iv. In introductory courses on the processing and presentation of measurements.
Various software was used to create the virtual experiments, such as Interactive Physics, Scratch programming language, Phet simulations, etc. The experiments were converted to video so that the trainee with observation and appropriate handling of the video could take measurements and complete the worksheets. We hope that teachers and students in Physics will find this book useful.

description:
Tax Accounting is one of the main pillars of accounting. Knowledge of the tax framework is an important asset for any active citizen, and mainly for students, undergraduate and postgraduate, of economic schools. At the same time, it is a useful tool for professionals operating in the fields of accounting and financial management of business entities.
This book deals with issues of tax accounting per the Income Tax Code (L.4172/2013), the Tax Procedure Code (L.4174/2013), the Value Added Tax Code (L.2859/2000) and the Greek Accounting Standards (L.4308/2014).
The book is developed into 10 chapters, presenting a part of the tax legislative framework, accompanied by practical examples, which make it easier to understand tax legislation. Chapter 1 presents the basic concepts of the Income Tax Code and the Code of Tax Procedure. Chapter 2 presents income from paid employment and pensions, as well as the method of taxation. Chapter 3 lists the income from the business activity of natural persons. Chapter 4 develops how business expenses are recognized as deductible and non-deductible and thus the distinction between accounting and taxable income. Chapter 5 deals with capital income and how it is taxed. At the same time, chapter 6 presents how to determine the income from capital gains.
Chapter 7 develops alternative methods of calculating taxable income and minimum taxation, which aim to tackle the phenomena of tax evasion and avoidance. Chapter 8 presents how to determine and tax the income of Legal Persons and Legal Entities.
In chapter 9 there is a brief presentation of indirect taxes and in particular, value-added tax, as determined by the Value Added Tax Code (L.2859/2000). Finally, chapter 10 presents the Unified Property Tax, as defined according to L.4223/2013.

description:
The aim of this book is to collect, record, study and correlate elements that reflect in the best possible way the physiognomy of Athens during the last decades of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. To present the image of the city, or rather the small village, that King Otto in the post-revolutionary years made the capital of the newly established Greek state, thus giving it the prospect of evolving over time into a modern city, following western European standards. It thus created the conditions and laid the foundations for the development of a city which, year after year, grew thanks to the constant internal migration of people from all corners of the country and the arrival of people from abroad.
      An attempt is therefore made to capture the image of the first small houses that gradually gave way or coexisted with other large, beautiful, imposing buildings. As the urban landscape changes due to the use of new materials and the rise in living standards, the image of the city's inhabitants, their way of living and dressing, but also the particular characteristics of their domestic and professional life, their habits, their comforts and their problems, all the elements that shape the everyday life of the Athenians, also change.
     It also presents the educational, cultural and intellectual life of the inhabitants of Athens, as well as the position of women in social life and examines the continuous development of the city, its buildings, streets, public transport, energy systems for heating and lighting, factors that constitute a modern advanced society.
     The aim of the book is to present as accurately as possible the European, especially the French, influence on the development of the capital of the modern Greek state and its citizens in all areas and on the formation of the improved image of the country by the beginning of the 20th century.

description:
The purpose of the book is to systematically present the basic theoretical and practical aspects of interpreting as an autonomous scientific discipline of Translation Studies and a professional activity. Its specific objective is to provide students and aspiring interpreters with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills and professional values needed to understand and apply in practice the complex process of interpreting: from the phase of preparation to the phase following the conclusion of the interpreting process.
As far as the theoretical content is concerned, the book presents a critical overview of the general principles and fundamental issues of interpreting, such as: how interpreting is defined and how it differs from related activities, in what categories it is distinguished, what theoretical considerations contributed to its development, in what settings and what modes of interpreting interpreters work, what the relevant requirements are, what the rules of professional ethics are and how the profession is affected by modern technological developments.
As far as the practical aspects of the book are concerned, students become familiar with the basic skills of interpreting. The issues addressed from that point of view are how interpreting is performed in practice, what cognitive processes are involved, what techniques are applied to each mode of interpreting, what the potential roles and tasks of interpreters are and how they should behave in the performance of their duties. The aforementioned issues are addressed in six chapters, each one of which is followed by several comprehension questions as well as exercises for practical application, using, where possible, authentic material.

description: In the post-modern era there has been a shift from the emphasis on Time (History) to that on Space - the “Territory” (Spatial Turn). At the same time, today we are talking about multiple identities, which are shaped according to the context, while now emphasis is given to the function of the body, the senses and the emotions, which shape the Physiognomy of both the Person and his Community. New data, which come not only from literary sources, but also from excavations and inscriptions (and coins), come to overturn the traditional view of the formation of a unified Christianity in the Mediterranean par excellence by Paul. It is now found that this charismatic figure, like Judaism, was also for centuries examined through the “glass brillen” of Augustine and Luther (cf. the “New Paul Perspective”). Therefore, in this Handbook I will focus on the diverse Christian Communities, which were founded not only around the Aegean but in the Mediterranean as a whole (Asia Minor, Rome, Alexandria, Cartagena, Spain) to examine their “dialogue” and coinherence with the surrounding World. The sensitization of the Space in the 1st c. is also derived from the meaning given to genius loci. Essentially, following the “Way” (as Christianity was originally called) – the "steps" of Jesus Christ, Paul, John and the other “workers” of the Gospel, I will offer the general public a Panorama of the diversity of their Christian Communities during the first two centuries and a “spiritual wandering” to rediscover their ethos and morals, taking into account the latest data regarding the Mediterranean world during the imperial era. History and Geography are intertwined, so that especially after a Crisis, something new emerges.

description:
The goal of this textbook is to present the basic topics of Engineering Geology which will be called upon to deal with both geologists and engineers.
The structure of the book is divided into two parts, where in the first the physical and mechanical characteristics of both soil and rock formations are thoroughly presented and extensive reference is made to the rock mass classifications.
In the second part of the book, reference is made to geological phenomena, which when they threaten the man-made environment are classified as hazards. An extensive presentation is made to the hazard evaluation process of these phenomena such as the methodology regarding the compilation of inventory maps and the assessment of their susceptibility.
The phenomena of landslides, rockfalls and seismically induced failures such as seismic landslides and liquefaction are then analyzed in separate thematic sections.
It was considered appropriate to distinguish the failures caused by seismic loads and to analyze them as a separate thematic unit because Greece is characterized by intense seismic activity with serious consequences for the natural and man-made environment. The triggering mechanism of these phenomena is analyzed and the most recently developed methodologies for evaluating the probability of occurrence are presented.
The last section of the book refers to the use of remote sensing technologies in Engineering Geology. The application of these technologies, by geologists, is strongly recommended for the reliable and accurate mapping of likely to failure areas.

description: The purpose of the book is to teach the Python programming language through the development of programs that solve real engineering problems, particularly in the field of Mining Engineering. The book is aimed at both the first-year student and the practicing engineer; no previous computer programming experience is necessary, although it is welcome. In the first part of the book (Chapters 02 to 10), the introduction to Python programming techniques is step-by-step, following the steps to be taken to solve a real-world mining problem by writing piece by piece the code of a Python program to be developed for this purpose. The second part of the book (Chapters 11 to 20) is dealing with independent engineering subjects and aims to expand the reader's knowledge, with additional elements of the Python language and programming techniques and, mainly, with the use of specialized Python libraries, internal and external (third-party). Some of these subjects are of general interest, such as solving equations, systems of equations, differential equations and integrals, or the development of the graphical user interface (GUI) of a program. However, there are also Chapters dealing with specialized subjects, such as data processing resulting from measurements of quantities, optimization and linear programming, project management and systems simulation. These subjects are, mainly, for the interest of students, who are taking the relevant courses during their studies, or the engineers, who want to apply them in practice. The last Chapter of the book enables the reader to turn his computer into a virtual piano and compose his own music with the help of Python.

description: The R system is a tool widely used in statistical, data analysis and machine learning applications. Furthermore, due to the extensibility and flexibility of the R system, the tool has been proven suitable for applications in many other domains and fields of knowledge. R can be used interactively, without programming, but is also a programming language and a tool for software development. It is on this second nature of R (that of a programming language) that this book focuses on. Emphasizing on the use of examples, the book starts with an introduction to programming and the R programming language, and progresses to more advanced topics. The approach taken by the book aims to introduce R to new programmers and/or new users of this particular language using simple, familiar examples of general programming and bypassing, to some extent, the presentation of R as a scientific tool. The relevant concepts, techniques and tools used by developers, the basic principles that govern R language, its peculiarities, the added capabilities produced by its ecosystem (sources, packages, application development environments etc.) are discussed in this first part of the book. In the second part, the book proceeds to more advanced topics, presenting some features of the R language that allow the development of more complex applications and solutions.

description: The importance of Probability and Statistics in solving issues in a variety of scientific domains has been steadily rising in recent decades. As a result, in addition to the Mathematics and Statistics departments, several university departments now teach Probability and Statistics. The major objective of this book is to give students, learning these topics for the first time, all the theoretical grounding they need to select and use the right methodology to solve problems in their field of study. This book can be used as an introduction text in courses on Probability, Statistics, or Probability-Statistics in the aforementioned context. In particular, the material from Chapters 1-7, with full emphasis on proofs and the theoretical background, is considered sufficient for the teaching of an introductory course in Probability, while the material from Chapters 8-13, with full emphasis on theoretical results, is considered sufficient for the teaching of an introductory course in Statistics. Finally, it is advised to cover the topics from Chapters 1-6 and 8-13 without focus on the mathematical proofs when teaching an introductory Probability and Statistics course or while teaching the course in departments other than Mathematics and Statistics.

description: The main aim of this book is to present both traditional Nonparametric Methodologies (such as tests based on ranks, runs, goodness-of-fit tests) as well as subsequent developments (estimation of the probability density function, bootstrap, nonparametric regression). Specifically, in Chapter 1 a review of basic definitions and concepts from Probability Theory and Statistics is given. Moreover, an introduction to the area of Nonparametric Statistics is provided, in which the necessity of nonparametric methodologies, their differences with their parametric counterparts and relevant areas of application are presented. Chapter 2 consists of methods and techniques for the nonparametric estimation of the cumulative distribution function and its functionals, while, in Chapter 3, we provide the main methods for the nonparametric estimation of the probability density function. Chapter 4 is devoted to goodness-of-fit tests, while Chapter 5 presents the simplest hypothesis testing techniques, those that are based on the Binomial distribution. In Chapter 6 we provide a wide variety of nonparametric, techniques for statistical hypothesis testing, which techniques are based on ranks, while randomness tests are presented in Chapter 7. In Chapter 8 we provide the main nonparametric statistical measures for the correlation of two variables. The corresponding nonparametric statistical tests for correlation are also provided. Nonparametric regression techniques are discussed in Chapter 9, while resampling methods, such as jackknife and bootstrap, are presented in Chapters 10 and 11, respectively. Chapter 12 deals with basic nonparametric techniques in statistical process control, while Chapter 13 presents the application of various nonparametric methodologies using SPSS and R. In addition, we provide statistical tables in the Appendix which enable the application of the statistical techniques presented in the main part of the book. Finally, the webpage https://github.com/abatsidis/NPDataSets allows access to the datasets and R codes used in the chapters of this book.

description: This book can be used as the main book for postgraduate courses dealing with Quantum Information Processing and the programming of Quantum Computers. This book is complementary to the KALLIPOS book "Quantum Computing", which was designed for undergraduate courses, because it extends the subject of Quantum Computing to the postgraduate level. The book covers comprehensively the scientific subject of Quantum Information Processing and is self-contained because it contains all the material of Quantum Mechanics that is necessary for the understanding of Quantum Information Processing. The change of orthonormal basis and the subject of quantum measurement are analyzed. Error-correcting codes in quantum computers are described in detail. Quantum computer programming examples are given and quantum algorithms are analyzed. The teleportation process and the production and distribution of cryptographic quantum keys are described. A special category of quantum algorithms, the quantum games, are analyzed and their applications are described. A quantum game simulator is available through the book’s KALLIPOS website. Quantum algorithms based on quantum walks are presented analytically. The quantum cellular automata model is presented. Τhe quantum  harmonic oscillator and the implementation of superconducting qubits are described. Finally, the concept of quantum information and its connection with the free energy of quantum information processing systems are analyzed. The codes of the quantum algorithms are given in Python source code, in the form of Jupyter notebooks and are available through the KALLIPOS website. The codes are open and freely available. In the book the step-by-step process of submitting quantum algorithm codes for execution by real IBM quantum computers is described.

description: This textbook is an attempt to provide a holistic and contemporary approach to the phenomenon of corruption. More specifically, a theoretical approach to the phenomenon of corruption is being attempted as well as an illustration of the main approaches of the international literature regarding the research of the phenomenon of corruption. As corruption is a complex and often difficult to define phenomenon, the main definitions that have been used internationally, the causal factors, the consequences as well as the essential differences between perceived and real levels of corruption are being analyzed. In the next stage, the multifaceted measures to combat the phenomenon of corruption are examined. Special emphasis is given to the –often ignored– relationship between organized crime, money laundering, international financial relations and corruption.

description:
This is a multi-purpose book aiming at a diverse audience. It is possible to read it in a non-linear fashion based on the needs of the individual reader. Initially it has been written for the students of the Inter-University Interdepartmental Master's Degree Programme "Higher Education Policy: Theory and Praxis" (MaHep) of the Dpts. of Educational Sciences and Social Work (University of Patras), Primary Education (University of the Aegean) and Social and Educational Policy (University of Peloponnese) (https://mahep-upatras.gr). Therefore, its organization follow the structure and development of the specific postgraduate programme of studies (MaHep). However, it is hoped that it will also be useful: a) to employees of the specialized bodies in Greek universities dealing with strategic planning and quality assurance, b) to other bodies and institutions that would like to systematize or implement methods of strategic planning and quality assurance, c) to students, junior and senior researchers and those involved in the preparation of (competitive or non-competitive) project proposals.
It consists of two parts. The first part deals with strategic planning (Chapter 1), quality assurance and evaluation (Chapter 2) and the tools used for both strategic planning and quality assurance/evaluation implementation (Chapter 3). The second part relates to the writing of proposals for academic, research or training purposes for personal interest or in the context of a competitive proposals in Greece and/or abroad (Chapter 4).
Chapter 5 focuses on the importance of monitoring an approved proposal in the phase of implementation. Chapter 6 discusses the types of project evaluation and the role of evaluators. Chapter 7, initially, refers to the framework of the development of a European Research Area (ERA) and the corresponding Greek legal framework in order to enable the interested parties understand and follow the relevant research context. Finally, it informs about several, indicative, funding bodies pertaining to research or educational projects.
The connecting link between the two parts of the book is the idea that both the work of strategic planning and quality assurance may be understood as a 'project' to be implemented whether funded (as is seasonally the case with the development and consolidation of the relevant bodies of Greek universities -MODIP in Greek) or not. Therefore, the reader who is primarily interested in the first part is invited to read at least Chapters 5 and 6 to gain important information and knowledge.

description: This book by Ingo Gildenhard, Professor of Classics at King’s College, University of Cambridge, is an excellent annotated edition of Book 4.1-299 of Vergil’s Aeneid, the ‘national’ epic of the Romans and one of the greatest works of world literature. Book 4 of the Aeneid is by far the most well-known and popular among the books of the epic. It recounts the story of Aeneas’ and the Trojans’ stay in Carthage, as well as the love affair between the Trojan hero (and progenitor of the Roman people) and the queen of Carthage, Dido. With intelligent and engaging writing and thanks to the excellent use of bibliography, this book is an excellent study of Aeneid Book 4, which occupies a central place in the epic poem, as it constantly refers back to what preceded  in the previous books, while preparing the ground for what ensues. In the Preface, the author explains the structure and organization of the book in detail. This is followed by the Latin Text and then Study Questions for each individual section of the text. The main body of the book is a detailed Commentary, which covers in full issues of language and translation, style, literary technique, intertextuality and historical context, among other topics. The Commentary is accompanied by four Interpretive Essays (1. Content and Form, 2. Historiographical Dido, 3. Allusion, 4. Religion) that cover not only Book 4 but the entire Aeneid.

description: This electronic textbook deals with specialized translation as a form of intercultural communication. It attempts to link specialized translation with the cultural elements of the language and culture concerned, placing them in the broader context of globalization. It emphasizes the fact that the rapid developments brought about by globalization in many areas and the attempts to impose uniformity on specialized texts will not be able to eliminate the cultural elements of the target languages. These will continue to be present in the communicational and economic policies of those involved in the field of specialized translation. The textbook starts with a historical account of the emergence and evolution of specialized language, followed by a description of contemporary specialized translation and communication. A thorough examination of modern specialized language isthen be attempted, explaining the ways in which specialized language has been shaped and the linguistic influences it has been subjected to up to the modern era. The main specialized languages prevalent in the field of specialized communication isdiscussed, providing linguistic and cultural evidence that clarifies the development of the specialized languages under consideration. Finally, a presentation of specialized translation in the context of interlingual and intercultural communication isbe given, citing various views on the formation of certain specialized texts with reference to the phenomenon of localization and the use of controlled language.

description: A Cyber-Physical System (CPS) consists of multiple computing devices which communicate between them as well as with the physical world through sensor and actuators in a closed-loop form. The aim of this book is to describe the concept of cyber-physical systems with emphasis on the modelling, design and analysis of modern systems given in the form of a cyber-physical system. The book contains multiple examples of cyber-physical systems from the areas of robotics, sensor networks and smart grids to assist in the understanding of the cyber-physical systems concept. First, continuous-time dynamic systems are analysed, including methods for control design and stability analysis, which are used to model the physical layer as well as its interaction with the cyber layer. Then, the concept of networked systems is presented, which are analysed through matrix and algebraic graph theory. Discrete systems are consequently presented using state machines (finite state machines, extended state machines, non-deterministic machines); these systems are then combined with the continuous-time dynamic systems to form the hybrid systems, which consist of a composition of continuous and discrete dynamics, as commonly found in cyber-physical systems. Finally, since the design of cyber-physical systems requires suitable selection of the components that are necessary for the interaction between the physical and the cyber layers, this book briefly presents the main individual components that are used to design a cyber-physical system (sensors, actuators, embedded microprocessors, memory architecture and input/output units).

description:
This book will be useful to postgraduate students in business schools who are interested in research methodology  that is currently used in academia and managerial contexts. Research Methodology in Business Administration serves as an introduction to the philosophy and principals of scientific research. It also provides students with essential guidance on how to design and carry out their own research projects. It presents step by step, in a clear and comprehensive way, the complete research process, from the formulation of research questions and hypotheses to writing and presenting findings. It also covers to some extend philosophical and ethical issues that researchers need to  considere As the primary target audience of the book is business school students, examples are derived from a range of subject areas, such as marketing, business strategy and human resources management. Although the book adopts an academic perspective, a secondary audience that may benefit from it are business executives employed in the respective departments. They use research findings to make informed decisions and/or they deal with questions that require empirical data to be answered. Understanding the principles of academic research enables them to better design and implement efficiently commercial business research. Areas of business management research such as accounting, financial management, economics and operational research are not included. These are self-contained fields with different approaches, methods and techniques.
Most students and business practitioners will choose this book because they need to complete a research project of their own. This is the main goal of the book; to help them with their research. Apart from that, the book also aims  to the cultivation of readers’ critical thinking, which is a valuable tool, and a valuable soft skill.

description:
In this book, we present in detail, the basic principles of the theory of Electric Circuits, at a theoretical level, as well as at the level of experimental implementation in the laboratory. Its main aim is to enable the readers to understand the operation of simple but also more complex electric circuits, to learn to implement them in the laboratory and to study their behavior. This book also presents in detail, the operation of useful, in many applications, electric circuits, their theoretical study, as well as the comparison of their results with those obtained experimentally. This comparison helps the reader to understand better their function and allows a better study of them.
Furthermore, this book presents circuits and measurement procedures that can be implemented using the free online circuit simulation software MultisimLive. The use of this software aims to give the reader the possibility of first contact with how he can, before implementing an electric circuit in the laboratory, design and study it at a simulation level, using simple and free online simulation software. Circuits designed in MultisimLive are presented in the form of exercises, in which the reader is guided step by step to perform the circuit design and measurements. In addition, at the end of each chapter a section that includes a series of unsolved exercises, for the reader to check the possibility of assimilating the material offered, is cited.

description: The book includes basic elements of Biology and Genetics presented in a way that makes it easier for engineers and other disciplines that do not have the basic biological knowledge to understand the basics and to be introduced to areas such as cell factory, omics technologies (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics), high throughput technologies etc. The concept of Systems Biology is presented and the elements that differentiate it from classical biology are highlighted, such as the quantified study of bioprocesses as integrated systems and the need for its support from bioinformatics and omics technologies. The systemic approach of organisms, cells and the entire biological structure (metabolic networks, protein synthesis, transcriptional process etc.) highlights the relationships that govern its elements and the need for their mathematical formulation that allows the possibility of predicting functions and designing new ones. In addition, the techniques and methods used in the Systemic study of biological systems such as the bioinformatics tools, as well as the modelling methods of cellular function are presented with specific examples. Finally, new applications based on systemic approaches are described and define the concept of "Systemic Biotechnology". The fundamental role of Metabolic Engineering in the development of Systemic and Synthetic Biology is also presented. Synthetic Biology (SB) and how it arose from the development of the systemic approach to biological systems is also described. The connection of Biology with Engineering and the rational management of the cell and mechanisms through the control of the flow of genetic information are attempted. Concepts such as the synthesis of "new life" from simple "biological spare parts", what these are, what is meant by "orthogenicity" of cellular functions, "minimal cell" and "cellular chassis" are analyzed. Finally, the development of "Synthetic Biotechnology" is described with examples in areas from health and food to the environment.

description: Cosmology is the study of the structure and the evolution of the Universe in large scale. This book covers the topic of Cosmology via three main directions. 1) The main astronomical observations that shaped our understanding of Cosmology and lead to the model of the expanding universe are discussed. Then, a Newtonian approach is presented. This is followed by a brief introduction in the concept of curvature, so that, through General Relativity, the equations governing the evolution the universe depending on its content are introduced. The main definitions of distances used in Cosmology are also presented in this context. 2) Next, we follow the evolutions of the Universe starting from its first stages, the decoupling of fundamental forces, the synthesis of the first element and the emission of the Cosmic Background Radiation reaching the dark ages and the reionisation epoch. The physical mechanisms interpreting these phenomena are studied. 3) We complete our study exploring the Standard Model of Cosmology and its challenges. We examine possible answers to open Cosmology problems. Furthermore, topics related to dark matter and gravitational lensing are presented and some cosmological problems that can be solved numerically are discussed.

description:
This book presents in a complete and thorough way the issue of plastics recycling, emphasizing the variety of products that can be derived from it. Initially, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of plastic waste are given, together with the main types of polymers in plastic waste and the necessity of recycling plastics as well as the problems that make it difficult to recycle them on a large scale. Then, methods are developed for sorting different types of polymers from a mixture of plastic waste, such as manual sorting, flotation, the use of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy etc.
The main body of the book includes an extensive description of the various methods that have been proposed for recycling plastics. In particular, mechanical recycling methods such as melting/reforming and selective dissolution/reprecipitation are described. Comprehensive examples of mechanical recycling of various types of plastics, such as PET and PVC, are given. Subsequently, a detailed description is given of the chemical recycling of plastics with an emphasis on the three major categories of polymers, i.e. polyesters (PET, PC, PLA), polyamides (Nylon) and polyurethanes and the products obtained depending on the process followed. The methods of thermo-chemical recycling of plastics are developed with special emphasis on pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis of various polymers (such as polyethylene, polypropylene etc.) and briefly on gasification and hydro-pyrolysis. The recovery of energy from plastic waste is also presented by combustion/incineration technologies and the potential environmental issues raised by the emission of hazardous substances. Finally, integrated methods of recycling various categories of plastic waste are presented, such as packaging materials, waste electrical and electronic equipment, and end-of-life vehicles, including tires. Reference is made to topics of particular environmental interest today, such as microplastics, single-use plastics, the existence of high-risk compounds in plastic waste, the recycling of multilayer films etc., in order to highlight the contribution of plastic recycling to the transition from linear to the circular economy.

description: The main objective of this textbook is to acquaint undergraduate and postgraduate students of linguistics with the theoretical model of Optimality Theory, broadly known as OT. It is a model of phonological analysis originally proposed by Prince and Smolensky within the framework of Generative Linguistics (Chomsky, 1957) in an extensive scientific report circulated in 1993. The present book consists of eight chapters and is structured as follows: Chapter 1 presents the basic concepts and principles of OT and develops in detail an example of phonological analysis couched within the OT framework. Chapter 2 focuses on three important problems that have attracted and continue to attract the interest of phonological research and the answers / solutions offered by OT. Chapter 3 examines how OT analyzes phonological contrasts, allophonic relations and neutralization processes through the reordering of markedness and faithfulness constraints. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with processes that lie at the heart of phonology-morphology interface. More specifically, Chapter 4 presents the constraints of Generalized Alignment and examines their role in infixation and templatic morphology, whereas Chapter 5 explores how reduplicative processes are analyzed within OT. The subject matter of Chapter 6 is language acquisition from the perspective of OT. Since children’s productions at the beginning of acquisition are characterized by unmarked sounds and structures, the ranking of faithfulness and markedness constraints in such early grammars should be MARKEDNESS ≫ FAITHFULNESS. However, children’s grammars evolve via constraint re-ordering, so that gradually more complex structures emerge. Each reordering corresponds to intermediate grammars which together form the developmental path that young speakers follow in order to acquire their target language. Chapter 7 focuses on the analysis of phenomena of phonological variation (e.g., τρέχουν vs. τρέχουνε ‘they run’) and gradience (e.g., the cluster φτ [ft] is preferred over φθ [fθ]), as they emerge from experimental research and/or data corpora. The focus of Chapter 8 is on stochastic aspects of OT, such as Stochastic OT and two stochastic versions of Harmonic Grammar, namely Noisy Harmonic Grammar and the Maximum Entropy Model.

description: In this book, an attempt has been made to present and study in detail, the content of the theory of signals and systems in the logic of the "physics of things", in terms of physics that describe their operation. This approach requires the systematic way of introducing definitions and concepts for the essential understanding of natural principles and laws with the aim of avoiding frequent and important misunderstandings. Specifically, the basic concepts and principles of signals and systems that an undergraduate and/or graduate student should know are presented and their key importance in the correct processing of experimental data and the drawing of correct conclusions, in every scientific field, is explained in detail. In addition, the signals as well as the operation of the systems in the field of frequency and time are analyzed in detail, while the implementation of the relevant simulation methods through programming codes, presented in the chapters of the book, is of interest. In this way, the reader is given the opportunity to understand the theory and the appropriate procedures for the study of signals, as well as in the analysis and synthesis of systems, continuous or discrete time. In each chapter the theory is presented and analyzed, the relevant codes in Matlab which are necessary for the simulations, while several examples are solved analytically with the aim of understanding the applications related to the study of real signals. The citation of the appropriate examples as well as the analytical way of solving them aims to arouse the interest of the student and lead to the consolidation of the theory and the understanding of the design of the simulation codes which can also be implemented in the laboratory. Signals and systems are inextricably linked to applications in Physics and the Positive Sciences, while the relevant conclusions and resulting equations highlight their decisive contribution to drawing correct conclusions through experimentation.

description: This book deals with the oeuvre of  Sappho and Alcaeus, who composed mainly monodic poetry. These two great poets from Lesbos, inheritors of a rich tradition of poetry and music, lived at about the same time (late 6th century, early 5th century BC).  While Alcaeus' poetry was dictated primarily by his politically turbulent surroundings, Sappho's poems were the fruit of her reflections on human relationships, the interaction with the divine, primarily with Aphrodite, and the problems that preoccupied both her audience and her wider social environment.  The Introduction of this book begins with a general presentation of Early Greek Lyric Poetry and then focuses on the poetry of Alcaeus and Sappho, with particular emphasis on the historical and political context in which they acted and composed their songs, and on their audiences.  Chapter 2 deals with the language, the Aeolian dialect, as well as with the metres and the versification of their poetry.  At Chapters 3-12  a big part of the surviving fragments from the Odes of Sappho and Alcaeus which are categorized according to their subject, is presented, translated, analyzed and interpreted . The first chapters  examine fragments with a common theme, such as prayer and hymn, erotic desire and the influence of Aphrodite and Eros, politics and invective, and old age, while  the last chapters discuss themes that appear only in Alcaeus' poetry or only in Sappho's: The drinking songs (Alcaeus), Sappho's wedding songs and the poetess's odes on the sorrow of separation from the Sapphic circle. The fragments are approached not only as literary texts but also as compositions reflecting the early Greek society and its institutions.

description:
The modern design engineer now relies on new CAD/CAM/CAE systems daily for product development, optimization, and production. In these processes, Parametric Design has a critical role since, through it, the geometric model of the product is produced, which is necessary for the design cycle. Parametric Design has evolved to such an extent that it has even changed the way engineers are trained in university institutions. Nowadays, emphasis is placed on training young engineers in issues related to the design process, interaction with the design software, and the efficient use and exploitation of its available functions. The book aims to present the fundamental principles of Parametric Design, which are integrated into the respective CAD/CAM/CAE software.
The book does not aim to educate its readers in a specific software but to explain concepts that will help them understand in depth how the respective systems work. Modern parametric design software has converted to a very high degree, and therefore, if the user is properly trained, they can use any related software successfully with no increased need for further training.
Understanding the theoretical background will greatly help students or graduates understand these systems’ functions better, faster, and more efficiently. The fundamental knowledge they will acquire will also help solve specialized problems both in the context of their studies, e.g., for preparing a diploma thesis, and at a professional level. In this way, they will have the flexibility and will be able to master the functions offered by modern systems to an advanced degree with less time and training costs. The book focuses on the "why" and not the "how» and can therefore be included in the cognitive load of those who will choose to enter the field of research in universities or industry.
