description:
Optics is the name of the branch of Physics that studies the behavior and properties of light, while at the same time describes the phenomena that govern the interaction of light with matter. However, since the visible perception of space and matter is made with lenses located in the organs of vision, the eyes, the main object of study of optics is also the optical media (mirror, lens, optical fiber, etc.) and instruments (camera, microscope, telescope, periscope, etc.).
This is how Optical Technology has been developed with the aim of providing solutions and aids to the eye that suffers from visual problems and sometimes from systemic diseases that affect the eye. In this book an attempt is made to cover every point and aspect of an optician’s work. In adittion to this the devices and the organization of the individual tasks in an optical laboratory is also presented. At the same time in each chapter, theoretical information is given in order to assist the optician understand and deal with the problem in a better way and thus to enable him help the patient more effectively.

description: The present volume, with subtitle From the classical period to the 21st century, is the second part of the two-volume textbook with the general title Music in Italy from medieval times to the 21st century. The second volume unfolds in 11 chapters, covering music in Italy from the period of the common practice to the modern tendencies of the 21st century, while throwing into relief the interactions of Italian music with important European musical currents. The historical narrative incorporates recent research findings that have thrown light on lesser-known aspects of Italian music during the early modern period, such as the corpus of Italian orchestral music of the 18th century.  The volume unfolds in three large sections. The first section, “The classical period”, focuses on the successive operatic reforms of the 18th century, as well as on the developments that take place in instrumental music, including the interactions between the Italian school and the rising Austro-German school of instrumental composition. The section “Romanticism” explores music in the long 19th century. The four chapters investigate the impact of literary romanticism on operatic subjects, orchestral writing, and the status of musicians; Italian composers from Rossini to Puccini; the operatic institutions; and the thorny issue of censorship that troubled Italian opera of the 19th century. The last section, “Contemporary music”, focuses on Italian music of the 20th and 21st centuries. The three chapters of this section bring forth important figures of Italian contemporary music; the political circumstances that shaped much music making during the 20th century; and aspects of the Italian musical avant-garde in the fields of electronic music and film music.

description: The book covers the design, implementation and analysis of some of the most well-known data structures in the literature of informatics and computer science, such as, for example, the stack, the queue, the deque, the list (implemented using an array or pointers), the skip list, several hash table methods, the binary tree (including the binary search tree, the treap, the scapegoat tree and the red-black tree), the heap (including the binary heap and the randomized meldable heap), the graph (including its representation by a matrix or as a collection of lists), some specialised data structures for integers (including various forms of binary digital trees), the B-tree, etc. The algorithms for implementing the data structures are given in pseudocode (on the basis of the Python programming language) and in the C++ and Java programming languages. The book is organised into 14 chapters and can adequately cover a 13-week academic semester for the "Data Structures" undergraduate course. In addition, some chapters of the book can be taught at a more advanced stage of the academic curriculum, including in the context of relevant postgraduate courses. The book provides the student with the necessary background for the effective use of the data structures in a wide range of application domains in informatics and computer science. The material of the book aims to enable students to analyse the performance of data structures, to compare their efficiency and suitability for solving various problems, to design complex and application-specific data structures, and to implement them with efficient algorithms in the programming language of their choice.

description: The book studies the Europeanization of the Western Balkan countries. Unlike technical studies and EU reports, the book is not confined to registering and assessing the current progress in the accession process of the Western Balkan countries. Instead, it aims to familiarize the reader with contemporary history, prevailing social, national, and cultural perceptions, and the main political and economic choices of the countries in the region. In other words, the book attempts to explain the origins and the causes of the long-standing challenges to the Europeanization of the Western Balkans. The book sheds light on the historical process of nation-building in the region and brings to the fore some of the dominant national myths that have been constructed (and re-constructed) over time. This way, it analyses the historical roots of contemporary conflicts in the Western Balkans and explains each side’s perceptions and aspirations. Similarly, it examines the region's troublesome political and economic transition after the end of the Cold War in the adverse environment generated by the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the outbreak of successive armed conflicts. Therefore, it accounts for the delay in consolidating democracy in the Western Balkan countries. At the same time, it examines the engagement in regional affairs of the international community, which has played a decisive role over the last three decades. Overall, the book offers a comprehensive and multifaceted analysis of contemporary Western Balkan history, focusing on state-building, conflict resolution, and reform implementation challenges on the path to the region’s full integration into the EU structures.

description: This monograph deals with the Revolution of 1821 in Crete in two levels. At the first level, an attempt is made to reconstruct the events from the beginning of the revolution in 1821 until its cessation in 1830. At this level, the revolution in Crete is related to the evolution of the revolution in mainland Greece. The context of Ottoman Crete at the eve of the revolution is presented, as well as the two distinct episodes of the revolutionary struggle (1821-1824, 1825-1830). At the second level, the specific revolutionary event is taken as a case study to examine specific dimensions of a revolutionary process, such as the dialectical relationship between war and state formation, the conditions and limits of a war economy, and the dynamics that develop in the context of a revolution. At this level, our subject of study is based on theories of political science and historical sociology. The mechanisms of the war economy, logistics and recruiting, the conduct of war on land and sea, the formation of power institutions and the relations between local and central administration are separately presented. A chronology of events, bibliographic guide and documents appendix are also included.

description:
The monograph attempts to cover an existing gap in the domestic literature on the topic of economic globalization. It examines critically key issues and alternative aspects of globalization from the perspective of economic geography.
Globalization processes have highlighted the importance of geographical perspective and differentiation, challenging predictions of the so-called “death of geography”. Structural features of geography, such as the synthetic approach and the combined study of phenomena on different scales, ensure a fuller understanding of the evolving mechanisms that are intertwined with places, institutions, individual enterprises, traditions and practices. Contemporary processes of globalization affect even spatially protected production systems with unprecedented speed and intensity. However, places are not passive recipients of global challenges but respond to the new dynamics and co-shape developments. It is precisely this evolving dialectical relationship between the global and the local that constitutes the main axis of the book. Separate chapters deal with issues that preoccupy the current debate on globalization and economic interdependence. Apart from the introductory chapter, which presents the historical evolution and the main parameters revolving the phenomenon of globalization and the concluding chapter, which discusses the current debates on the prospects of it, the remaining eight chapters of the textbook are divided into three parts. The first part frames the discussion and examines the role of global chains and networks, the digital transformation and the cities in the changing international environment. The second part addresses the dramatic effects of digital technologies on labour and entrepreneurship. The third part focuses on the intertwining of the global and the local processes in the agri-food sector.

description: Nowadays urban design can not exist without debate about the future and the role of cities,. In addition to that it has to be intertwined with the future of the planet. The book briefly presents the primary qualities and evaluation criteria of urban projects for the development, completion or repair of parts of settlements and cities, as they interact with planetary processes. It is a handbook that brings together introductory theoretical knowledge and techniques for the processes of urban design, at the intermediate scale between architecture and urban planning. It encapsulates a good number of references to primary theoretical considerations and influential developments in the way that the field of urban design has been defined as a practice and as an interdisciplinary subject until now, and in the context of sustainability. As a handbook, its aim is to establish the design practice systematically and analytically, "pragmatically" and creatively at the same time, in the necessary fields of scientific and technical consideration, in order to produce urban spaces that are liveable, that is, that enjoy wide recognition, successful use, environmental and ecological contribution with reference to place, by and for people and their communities. It doesn’t seek to cover completely the scope of the creative or compositional design process, since this can have various sources of creativity. However, it sets the necessary conditions for design gestures with reference mainly to the cities of the European South and in particular to the Greek cities. This handbook is structured in self-contained chapters that refer to the different aspects of urban design studies, drawing on urban morphology, strategic urban planning, environmental planning, architecture and city governance. Each chapter includes educational material, exercises and activities, bibliography and sources for further in-depth study, and refers to a multitude of more specific instructions, applications and precedents.

description: This book examines translated texts which appear in Thessaloniki’s public spaces from the perspective of an interdisciplinary approach, combining methods from sociolinguistics and the sociology of translation. Its main purpose is to look into the social aspects of this particular translation phenomenon which can be viewed all around us, but has not hitherto received due academic attention. It is the first book which deals with this particular topic and the research it presents is the only contribution to the literature which includes authentic Greek data. Firstly, the term translation landscape is introduced and its theoretical conception discussed which derives from contemporary ethnographic research in sociolinguistics, adapted so as to be applicable to the realities of translation. The potential for collaboration between sociolinguistics and translation studies in relation to the translation landscape is also highlighted, not least because the phenomenon in question is often associated with non-professional translation, serving a variety of communicative and social purposes. The data’s analytical categories are then presented as well as the ways in which the book’s approach can be applied. For instance, the book includes references to the analysis of speech acts which have been translated from Greek into English, the identity of the translator and the ways in which politeness phenomena have been rendered between the source and target languages. Finally, the relationship between translation and translanguaging in the context of the translation landscape is also discussed.

description: Electronic Government is a recent interdisciplinary scientific field. Therefore, a holistic treatment of Electronic Government should include constitutional, legal, organizational, and technological aspects to name only a few. In addition, Electronic Government is important to academicians and researchers, however, it mainly has a practical orientation. It is thus important that research results are used in the field from pertinent authorities to improve public services and governance as a whole. This book focuses mainly on conceptual and technological aspects and less on other dimensions of Electronic Government, as these evolve in the member states of the European Union, having an emphasis on Greece. It covers a wide range of issues including the Electronic Government institutional framework, the concept of public service, public service provision, open government data, electronic participation, one-stop government and interoperability. In addition, several relevant technologies are presented, e.g. BPMN, APIs, Linked Open Data and Artificial Intelligence, with an emphasis on their exploitation in the public sector. This book is mainly addressed to undergraduate and graduate students of programs that are related to information and computer science. However, the largest part of the book does not require a technical background, hence it can be read by anyone interested in the field of Electronic Government.

description:
Στο βιβλίο αυτό παρουσιάζεται συνοπτικά ο τρόπος θεωρητικής μελέτης αλλά και εργαστηριακής-πειραματικής υλοποίησης ηλεκτρονικών κυκλωμάτων. Στόχος του είναι, οι φοιτητές να κατανοήσουν τη λειτουργία, απλών αλλά και πιο σύνθετων, κυκλωμάτων, να τα υλοποιήσουν στο εργαστήριο και να μελετήσουν τα χαρακτηριστικά τους.

Στα εισαγωγικά κεφάλαια του βιβλίου παρουσιάζονται τα βασικά ηλεκτρονικά στοιχεία καθώς και κάποια είδη σημάτων και οι ιδιότητες τους, τα οποία αποτελούν την απαραίτητη βασική γνώση, για τη μελέτη της λειτουργίας των ηλεκτρονικών κυκλωμάτων, στο εργαστήριο. Έτσι, εξετάζονται απλά και βασικά ηλεκτρονικά κυκλώματα, τα οποία πρέπει να γνωρίζει και να μπορεί να κατανοεί κάθε φοιτητής που έχει παρακολουθήσει ένα βασικό μάθημα “Ηλεκτρονικής”, καθώς και πολύ πιο σύνθετα, τα οποία πρέπει να μπορεί να αντιλαμβάνεται και να επιλύει κάποιος ο οποίος έχει επιλέξει να ακολουθήσει συγκεκριμένη επιστημονική κατεύθυνση σχετική με την ηλεκτρονική Φυσική.

Πιο συγκεκριμένα, στο βιβλίο αυτό, αφού παρουσιάζεται και αναλύεται, η λειτουργία βασικών ηλεκτρονικών στοιχείων, μελετώνται κυκλώματα με διόδους, με τρανζίστορ επαφής, με τελεστικούς ενισχυτές και με τρανζίστορ επίδρασης πεδίου. Επίσης εξετάζονται από απλά ψηφιακά κυκλώματα έως πιο σύνθετα π.χ. flip-flop. Όλα τα κυκλώματα αναλύονται θεωρητικά ενώ παρουσιάζεται και ο τρόπος της εργαστηριακής υλοποίησης τους.

description: The first chapter is a reminder of basic notions from General Topology. In the second chapter quotient spaces are studied, a concise introduction to topological manifolds is given and the classical classification of compact surfaces is presented. In the third chapter topological groups and group actions on topological spaces are studied, with emphasis on the useful notion of even actions. The fourth chapter is an introduction to homotopy of maps, fundamental groups of topological spaces and homotopy equivalence. In the fifth chapter simply connected spaces, contractible spaces, deformation retractions and strong deformation retractions are introduced and the proof that topological groups have abelian fundamental groups is given. The sixth and seventh chapters introduce coverings, liftings of maps and homotopies, the monodromy action, universal covering spaces, hierarchies and automorphisms of coverings, even actions and normal coverings. The eighth chapter introduces Singular Homology. Homology groups of topological spaces and homomorphisms induced by continuous maps are studied and the homotopy invariance of homology is proven. In the ninth chapter higher homotopy groups are introduced and the connection between homotopy and homology is presented via the Hurewicz Theorem. Also, using the Mayer-Vietoris sequence, the homology groups of spheres are calculated. In the tenth chapter, important theorems in Algebraic Topology are proven, namely Invariance of Dimension, the Hairy Ball Theorem and the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem. The study of embeddings of spheres into spheres also establishes Invariance of Domain and the Jordan-Brouwer Theorem. The general Seifert-Van Kampen Theorem is stated and Grothendieck’s proof of a special case is given. The fundamental groups of compact surfaces are calculated, using basic tools from Combinatorial Group Theory. Finally, a concise reference is made to foundational issues, like the word problem, the isomorphism problem and the homeomorphism problem.

description: This book is an introductory presentation of the philosophy of Seneca the Younger, one of the most important Roman writers and exponents of Stoicism in the Imperial era. Through a variety of excerpts, anthologized in nine thematic units, the book exposes the Stoic art of life, which focuses on the eradication of passions, self-control, the release from the fear of death, the disengagement from material goods, the creative use of time, so that individuals can attain virtue, peace of mind and internal satisfaction. These features, which constitute the portrait of the Stoic sage in Seneca's philosophical treatises, remain at the centre of the quests of modern people and contemporary culture where the teachings of Stoicism have been found to have a common ground with psychotherapy and similar practices. Thus, the practical wisdom of Seneca, a man who was often criticized by his contemporaries and later scholars for failing to respond to the challenges of his time as an advisor of the emperor Nero, is of particular interest since many of his concerns are largely related not only to the politico-social and literary elite of the early Roman Empire but also to what we nowadays approach as western civilization. All Latin passages are accompanied by an introductory essay and a translation followed by grammatical and interpretive notes. In contrast, at the end of the book, there is a supplement of Latin-Greek vocabulary and an index locorum.

description:
This book is a selection of teaching material for the teaching of five postgraduate-level courses, which was initially gathered and cognitively organized in three volumes. The scattered original material today is presented renewed in this volume and intended for
postgraduate students that are graduates of Humanities, who wish to deal with the scientific field of Computational Linguistics and its applications (Natural Language Processing).
The content of this book is structured in twelve chapters. The first five chapters cover those topics that are a prerequisite for creating quality Natural Language Processing software (and more). That is, these chapters mainly cover issues of preparing a software creation project, such as the issues of project organization and management, recording of procedures, methods, options and results, as well as the quality control of all previous ones. Because this knowledge of the above topics cultivates a work culture of total quality, it is considered here that their teaching should precede, contrary to what may happen in other corresponding manuals, where these topics usually follow. The remaining chapters mainly cover the methodological issues of the realization of Natural Language Processing software products, with the rationale that every software application (regardless of the field) consists of three basic components: (a) the data and their management, (b) the processing algorithms of the data, as well as (c) the interaction of the user with the information system, through the interface environment.

description: Hemoglobin is the red protein of erythrocytes which, through its highly specialized structure, transports the oxygen of the air from the lungs to the tissues and organs.Each hemoglobin molecule consists of two α- and 2 non-α chains. The information for the synthesis of hemoglobin is contained in the respective genes. There are different types of hemoglobin. The globin genes can suffer various damages that bring about either a reduction in synthesis or various variations of its structure accompanied by new properties, often harmful to the organism.These situations are important both for the patients and for the Health Service Delivery System. Consequently, they are an important chapter in the Medical Curriculum. The proposed book is intended to assist in the teaching of hemoglobinopathies by systematically covering in 15 chapters (a) the structure and function of the various types of hemoglobin, (b) the genes that direct its synthesis, and (c) the molecular disorders that result in morbid situations (Chapters 1-3). In the following chapters, the pathophysiology and the clinical picture that characterizes each of them are described in detail. In particular, chapters 4-10 deal with the thalassemias, where the damage results in a reduction of α- or β-chains resulting in severe, chronic and incurable anemia, while chapters 11-14 cover sickle cell disease, another severe hemoglobinopathy characterized by unbearable pain for life. Each set includes information about the symptoms and findings of the respective pathological conditions, the imposed conventional treatment, as well as the efforts made for radical treatment utilizing recent technological advances. Finally, chapter 15 refers to other variations of hemoglobin, which give it strange, sometimes beneficial, sometimes harmful and sometimes indifferent functional properties.

description: The present monograph attempts an educational approach to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship, associated to innovation, is a concept that has attracted the interest of economic theory, among others, in the last three decades through the new economic paradigm that is the knowledge economy. The first chapter defines entrepreneurship as a teaching subject, i.e. suitable for teaching particularly in an academic environment. Relevant definitions and approaches are given which have changed from the original redefinition of entrepreneurship in the early 00s, where human behavior was considered as inherently influencing the phenomenon, to the present day, where entrepreneurship is considered as a mindset, a competence, design and science of the artificial. Policies which have supported and continue supporting entrepreneurship education are then presented as well as the entrepreneurial learning which underlies the behavior of the entrepreneur and is the main objective of entrepreneurship education. Chapter four discusses open problems that the subject matter poses to standard instructional design, and in particular on the articulation of learning objectives relating to knowledge, skills and attitudes. This chapter also includes a critical perspective on entrepreneurship education. Chapter five presents basic learning theories on which entrepreneurship teaching can be based in a consistent and understandable way for educators. Chapter six discusses informal and non-formal learning in entrepreneurship and how this has also influenced formal entrepreneurship education. Finally, chapter seven presents issues and methods of evaluating entrepreneurship education as well as capturing its overall impact on learners. The final chapter summarizes the conclusions of the volume and discusses the current and future perspectives of entrepreneurship education. The educational approach to entrepreneurship is of concern to educators at all levels, but at the same time it identifies the complex phenomenon of entrepreneurship by illuminating both its known didactic aspects and any less known ones.

description: The book at hand is the first systematic critical presentation in the Greek language of the political philosophy of international relations and international law in the thought of some of the classical thinkers. The book is mainly focused on the theme of war and peace. In the first chapter, the reader is introduced to the fundamental distinction between war and peace and the basic principles of, first, the ‘political realism’ tradition, second, the ‘just war’ theory, and third, the tradition of ‘perpetual peace’ projects. The rest of the book critically presents and reconstructs the political thought of Thucydides, St. Augustine, Grotius, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, and Mill on war, peace, the state, natural law, jus ad bellum and jus in bello among other things. The general approach of the book is historical and normative at the same time.

description: The book “Anthropos-Space-Ekistics: Planning Directions of Human Settlements in Greece” elaborates on the relationship between these three elements during the planning process. Emphasis is placed on the degree of influence of the political will in forming planning directions for the residential network of Greece. It is a guidance manual where basic notions such as space, place, city, settlement, and neighbourhood are clarified for the readers to better understand their meanings and their role during the planning process; only in that way could it be possible for them to realize its contribution in forming the space by applying existing methods in various scales with particular interest to be put in local scale. Through the historical review of settlements and cities as a system of concentration of (a)  population and (b) activities and transportation network, the historical, geographical, and architectural identity as well as the uniqueness of each place are highlighted. By analysing the theoretical ground as well as the legislative and the methodological framework of design issues for human settlements, in the European and Greek area, limitations and barriers that arise on a case-by-case basis may come to the fore. For Greece, the historical reference presents the evolution and structure of the residential network of Greece with the growth of urban centres, mainly in Athens, revealing challenges of sustainable development.

description: The book examines the basic models of Industrial Organization. Industrial Organization is the branch of Microeconomics that studies the behavior of firms in imperfectly competitive markets. Imperfectly competitive markets cover the area between the two extreme models of Microeconomics: those of the perfect competition and the monopoly. In perfect competitive markets there many firms, each with a negligible market share. As a result, firms accept the price of the product as a given. In a monopoly market, there is a single firm that sets the price to maximize its profits. In imperfectly competitive markets there is strategic interdependence between the firms that participate in them. That is, the choices made by one firm affect the choices of all other firms in the same market. In the following pages we mainly deal with duopoly markets. We examine markets in which two firms produce identical products and either choose quantities or prices. Their decisions may be either simultaneous or sequential. We also examine models in which the products are differentiated either horizontally or vertically.

Chapter 2 is dedicated to two-dimensional parametric design, using either geometric or dimensional constraints. Chapter 3 provides an introduction to 3D design, covering all known commands for three-dimensional modeling through examples. In Chapter 4, all modification commands for three-dimensional models are analyzed, such as transformation commands for solid models or commands for creating local modifications. Chapter 5 presents, through examples, the process of designing and editing mesh models. Chapter 6 thoroughly explains commands for creating surface models from sketches or using basic surface models. The available tools for modifying surface models are also discussed in the latter part of the chapter. In Chapter 7, the process and available tools for creating assembly models are presented. Chapter 8 introduces the process of programming 3D models in CAM environment. It covers the entire model preparation process, tool selection for machining, and all two-dimensional and three-dimensional machining operations. In Chapter 9, the concept of generative design is analyzed, along with the process of conducting a relevant study. The final chapter, Chapter 10, presents the available tools for creating technical drawings.

description:
Το προτεινόμενο βιβλίο θα αποτελέσει συμπληρωματικό βοήθημα για την εμπέδωση του μαθήματος της Γενικής Ανόργανης Χημείας. Είναι προφανές ότι η Γενική Ανόργανη Χημεία δεν απευθύνεται αποκλειστικά σε χημικούς, αφού επιστήμονες πολλών ειδικοτήτων, όπως μηχανικοί και τεχνολόγοι, αντλούν ολοένα και περισσότερο στοιχεία για την πρόοδο των εργασιών τους. Με το παραπάνω σκεπτικό, το βιβλίο αυτό θα γραφτεί με απλότητα και σαφήνεια, ώστε να ωφελήσει τους νεοεισερχόμενους σπουδαστές από διαφορετικές σχολές.
Η δημιουργία τράπεζας ερωτήσεων- ασκήσεων - προβλημάτων στην Ανόργανη Χημεία έχει διπλό όφελος. Πρώτον υποβοηθεί τους σπουδαστές στην ευχερέστερη ανάγνωση, κατανόηση και εμπέδωση του μαθήματος. Δεύτερον διευκολύνει τους διδάσκοντες, αφού μπορεί να αποτελέσει τη βάση μιας πλούσιας πηγής θεμάτων για την εξέταση των σπουδαστών.
Στο Α΄ μέρος θα προτάσσεται επιγραμματικά η θεωρία
Στο Β’ μέρος του βιβλίου θα καταγραφούν ερωτήσεις κλειστού τύπου (πολλαπλής επιλογής, σωστού-λάθους) και ερωτήσεις ανοικτού τύπου (ανάπτυξης, σύντομης απάντησης και υπολογιστικά προβλήματα). Σε κάθε κεφάλαιο θα χαράσσονται αρχικά οι στόχοι, ενώ η ακολουθούμενη ροή των ερωτήσεων ταξινομείται ανά τύπο ερώτησης και με διαβάθμιση δυσκολίας. Στο τέλος κάθε κεφαλαίου θα προτείνονται δοκιμασίες (test), ώστε να διαγνωσθεί η επίτευξη των στόχων. Ο βαθμός επίδοσης στην παραπάνω δοκιμασία θα σχολιάζεται θετικά ή αρνητικά και θα παραπέμπει, είτε σε επανάληψη και περαιτέρω άσκηση στο ίδιο κεφάλαιο, είτε στο επόμενο κεφάλαιο.
Στο Γ’ μέρος του βιβλίου θα δίνονται οι απαντήσεις και οι λύσεις των προβλημάτων. Ιδιαίτερο βάρος θα δίνεται όταν η επιλογή ή απάντηση στα ερωτήματα που τίθενται στο Α’ μέρος του βιβλίου είναι λανθασμένη. Στην περίπτωση αυτή το βιβλίο θα παραθέτει επεξηγήσεις και παραδείγματα, θα παραπέμπει στην ανάγνωση καθορισμένων χωρίων από βασικά συγγράμματα ή ηλεκτρονικούς ισότοπους (sites). Ακόμα, θα δίνονται διαδραστικές δράσεις, ώστε να εξαλειφθεί η παρανόηση και αποκατασταθεί η εμπέδωση.

description: The observation of phenomena in nature led to the recognition of physical quantities that evolve in time, but also to the development of laws that describe their change over time. Gradually, the study of the composition of matter led to the recognition that a (macroscopic) physical system consists of microscopic molecular structures that are constantly in motion. The study of the macrocosm led to the foundation of thermodynamics in equilibrium and kinetic theories out of equilibrium, such as hydrodynamics. At the same time, statistical theories were developed that reproduce the macroscopic phenomena based on the molecular motion. Statistical Mechanics of equilibrium reproduces thermodynamics and kinetic (statistical) theories reproduce (macroscopic) kinetic theories. For example, in dilute systems, the Boltzmann kinetic equation reproduces hydrodynamics. For non-equilibrium systems there is no general kinetic theory due to the many ways in which the kinetic states of matter arise and correspondingly the statistical theories are formulated according to the physical system they describe. In this book, the phenomenological theories of thermodynamics and hydrodynamics are presented first, the stochastic processes that describe the statistical evolution of physical quantities over time and characterize physical and chemical systems follow. Subsequently, based on classical mechanics and the use of the Liouville equation, the derivation of kinetic equations for the velocity distributions is presented. In the limit of weak interactions the Boltzmann kinetic equation is obtained and its properties are studied. Then, transport properties are calculated based on the intermolecular interactions. Next, the statistical study of the linear response of a system to the action of external fields is presented. In the last chapter, since thermodynamics has not been generalized to all physical systems, some cases of generalization of local thermodynamics in non-equilibrium conditions are presented for special systems that display various applications.

description:
In the last decade, the international efforts to reduce out of hospital cardiac arrest deaths contain actions that promote the integration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in education. This book entitled " The teaching of CRP in educational settings " combines information related to CPR training, according to current guidelines, with the pedagogical background that supports effective teaching at all levels of education. Recent innovative interdisciplinary collaborative CPR research and training actions targeting pupils and students, led by academics of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science (DPESS) of the University of Thessaly (UTh), in collaboration with the Directorate of Education of Thessaly and members / CPR instructors from the Hellenic Association of Emergency Prehospital Care (E.E.E.P.F.), have contributed to the creation of new knowledge & appropriate material to support the teaching of CPR to teachers, students and pupils.
Especially P.E. teachers, but also other pedagogy graduates who work in the school setting have now the support that will allow them to integrate CPR teaching into an active learning model. By doing so they can reap multiple benefits for developing a positive school culture and they can also contribute to benefiting the society at large, in the context of the educational reform of the Greek School curriculum.
Therefore, this book provides the appropriate pedagogical and practical information for the organization of class of teaching CPR, whether with or without the use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED), It also contains advice to the educator for class implementation, with actionable steps to provide an escalating degree of difficulty (depending on educational level). This book offers the teacher or lecturer easy-to-use visual aids, practical tips and sample lessons. In addition, it provides key information and recommendations for the necessary actions that an educational unit needs to take in order to apply risk/hazard reduction and formulate actionable emergency/crisis response action plans. Also, this book can serve in the training of students and the preparation of DPESS future graduates, as well as graduates of pedagogical departments or other scientists acquiring pedagogical competence, who will serve in the three levels of education.

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.

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.

description:
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.
