Institutional Delivery Service Utilization and Associated CURRENT STATUS: UNDER REVIEW

Background: Different primary studies in Ethiopia showed the weight of institutional delivery service utilization and the factors associated with it. However, variation among those studies was seen. This study was aimed to estimate the pooled national prevalence and associated factors of Institutional delivery service utilization in Ethiopia. Methods: PubMed, Cochrane library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched. A funnel plot and Egger’s regression test were used to see publication bias. I-squared statistic was applied to check heterogeneity of studies. A weighted Dersimonian laired random effect model was applied to estimate the pooled national prevalence and the effect size of associated factors. Result: A total of twenty four studies were included in this review. The pooled prevalence of Institutional delivery service utilization was 31% (95% CI: 0.30, 0.31; I 2 = 0.00%). Attitude towards institutional delivery of 3 studies(AOR=2.83; 95% CI 1.35,5.92 ), maternal age at first pregnancy of 4 studies((AOR= 3.59; 95% CI 2.27,5.69 )), residence setting of 7 studies (AOR= 3.84; 95% CI 1.31, 11.25), educational status of 5 studies(AOR=2.91;95% 1.88,4.52), availability of information source of 6 studies(AOR= 1.80;95% CI 1.16,2.78), ANC follow-up of 13 studies((AOR= 2.57 95% CI 1.46,4.54 )), frequency of ANC follow up of 4 studies(AOR= 4.04;95% CI 1.21,13.46), knowledge of institutional delivery & danger signs during pregnancy of 11 studies((AOR=3.04;95% CI 1.76 ,5.24 )) and place of birth the most recent birth of 4 studies(AOR=8.44;95% CI 5.75,12.39) were identified factors of institutional delivery service utilization. Conclusions: The findings of this review found several modifiable factors such as empowering women through education, promoting antenatal care to prevent home delivery, increasing awareness of women through mass media and making services more
An application of the Lyapunov stability theorem: a bead on a rotating hoop

The motion of a bead on a rotating hoop is a classical problem in mechanics. The problem describes that a bead is placed on the track of a hoop rotating around a vertical axis. Although this issue is researched by lots of scholars, this system is usually analyzed without considering the friction. However, when considering friction, it becomes difficult to analyze the stability. The purpose of this study is to investigate the stability of the system with friction more easily. We derive the equation of motion of the bead and use the Lyapunov stability theorem to analyze the stability. The stability is determined by the angular velocity of the hoop. If the angular velocity is less than or equal to the critical value the bead is asymptotically stable at origin (the bottom of the hoop) otherwise it is asymptotically stable at a non-zero position. In addition, we study the difference between mass point bead and rigid body bead and find that both have identical bifurcation diagram and stability, whereas the trajectories have a difference on the phase plane. In the end, the numerical simulation method is used to verify the conclusion above.

Evaluating a New Shade for Feedlot Cattle Performance and Heat Stress

Heat stress in cattle results in decreased feed intake, lower daily gain, and potentially death in susceptible animals under intense conditions. A study was carried out during the summer of 2013 at the USDA-ARS U.S. Meat Animal Research Center feedlot evaluating the impact of shade on environmental conditions and cattle performance. A novel twotiered shade was used in half of the 14 pens, each holding 30 animals. The shades were designed to reduce solar heat load by 40% to 60% and to provide traveling shade across the pen, providing varied amounts of shade area as well as varied solar reduction potential. The objective of this study was to determine if the shade was effective at improving performance (evaluated as average daily gain, feed intake, and feed to gain ratio) and reducing environmental conditions that cause heat stress. A group of mixed-breed cattle with varied genetics including both Bos taurus and Bos indicus were selected, penned on the basis of sex, and blocked by color. Production parameters of pen feed usage were measured daily, and individual body weights were taken monthly. Environmental conditions including air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, ground temperature, and black globe temperature with and without shade were measured. Solar load on the pens was reduced when shade was provided, with both ground temperature and black globe temperature showing reductions. Cattle showed nominally better performance; however, no significant differences were found in gain or feed intake. Panting scores were significantly lower with shade provided; slopes of cattle respiration rate versus ambient temperature were significantly lower with shade during the afternoon period.
ournal of C osmology and A stroparticle P hysics Inﬂation in multi-ﬁeld modiﬁed DBM potentials

We study multi-ﬁeld inﬂation in random potentials generated via a non-equilibrium random matrix theory process. We make a novel modiﬁcation of the process to include correlations between the elements of the Hessian and the height of the potential, similar to a Random Gaussian Field (RGF). We present the results of over 50,000 inﬂationary simulations involving 5-100 ﬁelds. For the ﬁrst time, we present results of O (100) ﬁelds using the full ‘transport method’, without slow-roll approximation. We conclude that Planck compatibility is a common prediction of such models, however signiﬁcant isocurvature power at the end of inﬂation is possible.
ournal of C osmology and A stroparticle P hysics J Phase-space analysis of Hoˇrava-Lifshitz cosmology

We perform a detailed phase-space analysis of Hoˇrava-Lifshitz cosmology, with and without the detailed-balance condition. Under detailed-balance we ﬁnd that the universe can reach a bouncing-oscillatory state at late times, in which dark-energy, behaving as a simple cosmological constant, is dominant. In the case where the detailed-balance condition is relaxed, we ﬁnd that the universe reaches an eternally expanding, dark-energy-dominated solution, with the oscillatory state preserving also a small probability. Although this analysis indicates that Hoˇrava-Lifshitz cosmology can be compatible with observations, it does not enlighten the discussion about its possible conceptual and theoretical problems.
A Decision Support System for Integrated Berth and Ship Un - loader Allocation in Bulk Material Handling port

: Berth allocation and material handling problems in ports are generally solved independently. This article provides a framework for aligning allocation decisions of berth and ship un-loader in an integrative manner. The ultimate goal of these decisions is to minimize the waiting time, operating time and ships priority deviation. As the sojourn time of a ship in port is costly, and given the scale and the complexity of the problem, a Decision Support System (DSS) is developed for the port authority. Two different approaches have been considered in this paper: 1) Solving the problem sequentially by decomposing the problem into two sub-problems- the berth allocation and the dynamic allocation of ship un-loaders in different berths 2) solving the problem by integrating berth allocation and dynamic allocation problem. Controlled Elitist Non - dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm and Chemical Reaction Optimization are proposed in designing the DSS. Computational experiments are conducted on information provided from an Indian port. Results show that integrating berth and ship un-loader allocation achieves significant cost savings by considerably reducing the ship sojourn time in port.
Approach for improving inter‐element isolation of orthogonally polarised MIMO slot antenna over ultra‐wide bandwidth

With the increasingly multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) applications in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems, antenna researchers face big challenges in designing compact operational geometries that meet the essential demand of achieving high isolation among antenna elements over the ultra-wide operating bandwidth. Disposed antenna elements orthogonally are seen to be the most common methodology to reduce mutual coupling of MIMO antenna by exploiting polarisation diversity performance. In such configuration, the mutual coupling mainly depends on the inter-element spacing, which it may not be in line with the compact structure. In this Letter, taking the advantages of symmetry of planar UWB antennas, asymmetric feeding scheme miniaturising technique is utilised to improve the inter-element isolation of a reference MIMO antenna made up of four previously designed slot antenna elements, closely-disposed orthogonally. Analytical results have validated the design concept and the improved MIMO antenna using the halved-chopped elements, showing good performance in terms of impedance matching, isolation, radiation features, signal correlation, and system fidelity factor.
Real-time Networks and Protocols for Industrial Automation

Nowadays, networks are fundamental elements for developing factory automation systems. In this thesis, we focus industrial communication networks (ICNs) employed at the device level, for the fast data exchange between controller and sensors/actuators, that are required to satisfy tight reliability and real-time requirements. In this context, the scenario is rapidly evolving. Indeed on the one hand, high performance and low costs are required to cope with more and more demanding requirements, while, on the other hand, real-time characteristics are needed in an increasing number of industrial automation applications. In the last years, two new types of ICNs have been introduced for device-level industrial communication. Besides eldbuses, traditionally employed, both real-time Ethernet (RTE) networks, based on IEEE 802.3 standard, and wireless networks have become available. In this thesis we focus on Ethernet Powerlink, a popular RTE network. Firstly, we refer to the Ethernet Powerlink speci cations and provide a description of the network and, in particular, of the data link layer protocol real-time features. We propose a modi cation to the protocol that allow the network to better manage real-time acyclic tra c and provide results of a relevant both theoretical and a simulative analysis. Subsequently we investigate possible wireless extensions of Ethernet Powerlink based on the IEEE 802.11 wlan and present results of both a theoretical and a simulative analysis relevant to two speci c solutions. Finally we practically realize one of the two solutions and provide results of extensive measurements on the real system. We particularly focus on the comparison between theoretical, simulative and experimental results and on the in uence of real components behavior on the overall performance of the system.
Potential Role in Antigen Presentation Hyaluronan by Dendritic Cells and Its Synthesis and Surface Expression of

Hyaluronan (HA) is a large glycosaminoglycan consisting of repeating disaccharide units of glucuronic acid and N -acetylglu-cosamine. HA is known to act as a ﬁlling material of extracellular matrices and as an adhesive substrate for cellular migration. Here we report that dendritic cells (DC) express mRNAs for HA synthases and hyaluronidases, actively synthesize HA, and display HA on their surfaces. Interestingly, HA expression levels on DC were not signiﬁcantly altered by their maturation states. With respect to physiological function, three speciﬁc HA inhibitors, i.e., bovine proteoglycan, a 12-mer HA-binding peptide (GAH WQFNALTVR) termed Pep-1, and an oligomeric Pep-1 formulation, all interfered with DC-induced activation of CD4 (cid:1) T cells isolated from DO11.10 TCR transgenic mice. For example, Pep-1 oligomer efﬁciently inhibited DC-dependent cluster formation, IL-2 and IFN- (cid:2) production, and proliferation by DO11.10 T cells in vitro without affecting the viabilities of DC or T cells, DC function to uptake exogenous proteins, or DC-T cell conjugate formation at earlier time points. These observations suggest a paracrine mechanism by which DC-associated HA facilitates some of the late changes in T cell activation. Although T cells constitutively expressed mRNAs for HA synthases and hyaluronidases, their surface HA expression became detectable only after activation. Oligomeric Pep-1 and bovine proteoglycan both inhibited mitogen-triggered T cell activation in the absence of DC, suggesting an autocrine mechanism by which HA expressed by T cells assists their own activation processes. Finally, adoptively transferred DO11.10 T cells showed progressive mitosis when stimulated with Ag-pulsed DC in living animals, and this clonal
EFFECT OF CYCLOHEXIMIDE TREATMENT ON THE MIXED-FUNCTION OXIDASE SYSTEM OF RAT LIVER

The effect of cycloheximide treatment on the mixed-function oxidase system of rat liver was studied at 12 and 24 hours after administration of the antibiotic. Protein synthesis was inhibited in the animals for the 24-hour experimental period with the maximal tolerable dose, 2 mg;1<g . Cycloheximide treatment caused an alteration in the sedimentation properties of the endoplasmic reticulum. A "fluffyll fraction containing ap-prec iable amounts of drug-metabol izing activity, as well as cytochrome P-450, was recovered with the microsomes from the 15,000 x §L supernatant of treated animals, but was never observed in control preparations. Also, there was an increase in the microsomal protein level of treated animals that was apparently unrelated to drug-metabolizing activity; therefore, total protein was not a suitable reference standard for expressing the activity of this enzyme system. However, I iver ight the period, and was used as the reference standard in the present study . the preparations from drug-treated rats. represents a true decrease in total enzymatic activity a comparable depression of demethylase activity was observed in the corresponding liver homogenates. The apparent Michael is constant, K m, did not change with drug treatment, but V max was significantly lower.
Curvature from Sliding.

We introduce a novel interpretation of the curvature over discrete surfaces that allows to compute a multi scale measure of principal directions and values of curvature and which is robust with regards to tessellation degeneracies and geometric and topological noise. The key observation is that there is a direct relation between the way a portion of surface can rotationally slide over a surface and the directions of principal curvature. We exploit such relation to setup a optimization problem that we use to actually compute the curvature values in a novel way.
Molecular and Biochemical Evaluation of Ethyl Methanesulfonate-Induced Mutant Lines in Camelina sativa L.

Background: Camelina sativa is one of the most important oilseeds that has a proportionate profile of essential unsaturated fatty acids that are suitable for human nutrition. In this regard, we can mention a high percentage and a reasonable ratio of omega 3 and omega 6. Objectives: In the current study, the created variation of second-generation mutant (M2) camelina lines in terms of fatty acid profiles and ISSR molecular markers in C. sativa was evaluated. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, while producing the first-generation of mutant plants (M1), 200 M2 seeds with 0.1% and 0.5% ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutations were treated in two replications for 8 and 16 hours based on a completely randomized design. Results: The results of mean comparisons showed that there was no significant difference between treatments in terms of fatty acids of palmitic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, eicosadienoic acid, oleic acid and erucic acid. The cluster analysis revealed that all the treatments used with five replications were divided into eight groups. It was found that all replications of the treatment with a concentration of 0.1% and a time of 16 hours (C1T2) were in the second group with the lowest palmitic acid was present among other treatments. Therefore, C1T2 treatment is recommended as the best treatment to reduce palmitic acid. Examination of the information content of ISSR molecular markers also showed that markers 2, 5, and 6 were the best informative markers in the detection of camelina fatty acid profiles. Conclusion: A significant variation has been created in the fatty acids profile and it can be applied in future breeding programs depending on the intended purpose.
Transcriptome Analysis of Glutathione Response: RNA-Seq Provides Insights into Balance between Antioxidant Response and Glucosinolate Metabolism

When being stressed, plants require a balance between the resistance pathway and metabolism. Glucosinolates (GS) are secondary metabolics that widely exist in Brassicaceae. Glutathione (GSH) not only participates in plant processing reactive oxygen species (ROS) but also directly participates in GS synthesis as a sulfur donor. Therefore, we used transcriptomic to identify antioxidant and GS metabolism responses in GSH-treated pakchoi. Our study elucidated that GSH can be used as priming to improve oxidative resistance and preferentially stimulate the expression of resistance genes such as CAT1. The reduction in transcription factor expression inhibits the key steps of the GS synthesis pathway. When ROS returned to normal level, the resistance gene decreased and returned to normal level, while GSH restored the gene expression of GS biosynthesis. This work puts forward the mechanism of GSH in regulating the antioxidant system and glucosinolate metabolic pathway, which provides a basis for further study on the relationship between environmental signals and plant metabolism and provides ideas for follow-up research.
Modeling Financial Products and Their Supply Chains

The objective of this paper is to explore how novel financial datasets and machine learning methods can be applied to model and understand financial products. We focus on residential mortgage backed securities, resMBS, which were at the heart of the 2008 US financial crisis. These securities are contained within a prospectus and have a complex waterfall payoff structure. Multiple financial institutions form a supply chain to create the prospectuses. To model this supply chain, we use unsupervised probabilistic methods, particularly dynamic topics models (DTM), to extract a set of features reflecting community (topic) formation and temporal evolution along the chain. We then provide insight into the performance of the resMBS securities and the impact of the supply chain communities through a series of increasingly comprehensive models. First, models at the security level directly identify salient features of resMBS securities that impact their performance. We then extend the model to include prospectus level features and demonstrate that the composition of the prospectus is significant. Our model also shows that communities along the supply chain that are associated with the generation of the prospectuses and securities have an impact on performance. We are the first to show that toxic communities that are closely linked to financial institutions that played a key role in the subprime crisis can increase the risk of failure of resMBS securities.

The ALMA Survey of 70 μm Dark High-mass Clumps in Early Stages (ASHES). VI. The Core-scale CO Depletion

Studying the physical and chemical properties of cold and dense molecular clouds is crucial for the understanding of how stars form. Under the typical conditions of infrared dark clouds, CO is removed from the gas phase and trapped onto the surface of dust grains by the so-called depletion process. This suggests that the CO-depletion factor (f D ) can be a useful chemical indicator for identifying cold and dense regions (i.e., prestellar cores). We have used the 1.3 mm continuum and C18O (2–1) data observed at the resolution of ∼5000 au in the ALMA Survey of 70 μm Dark High-mass Clumps in Early Stages (ASHES) to construct averaged maps of f D in 12 clumps to characterize the earliest stages of the high-mass star formation process. The average f D determined for 277 of the 294 ASHES cores follows an unexpected increase from the prestellar to the protostellar stage. If we exclude the temperature effect due to the slight variations in the NH3 kinetic temperature among different cores, we explain this result as a dependence primarily on the average gas density, which increases in cores where protostellar conditions prevail. This shows that f D determined in high-mass star-forming regions at the core scale is insufficient to distinguish among prestellar and protostellar conditions for the individual cores and should be complemented by information provided by additional tracers. However, we confirm that the clump-averaged f D values correlate with the luminosity-to-mass ratio of each source, which is known to trace the evolution of the star formation process.
Constant Weight Codes With Gabor Dictionaries and Bayesian Decoding for Massive Random Access

This paper considers a general framework for massive random access based on sparse superposition coding. We provide guidelines for the code design and propose the use of constant-weight codes in combination with a dictionary design based on Gabor frames. The decoder applies an extension of approximate message passing (AMP) by iteratively exchanging soft information between an AMP module that accounts for the dictionary structure, and a second inference module that utilizes the structure of the involved constant-weight code. We apply the encoding structure to (i) the unsourced random access setting, where all users employ a common dictionary, and (ii) to the “sourced” random access setting with user-specific dictionaries. When applied to a fading scenario, the communication scheme essentially operates non-coherently, as channel state information is required neither at the transmitter nor at the receiver. We observe that in regimes of practical interest, the proposed scheme compares favorably with state-of-the art schemes, in terms of the (per-user) energy-per-bit requirement, as well as the number of active users that can be simultaneously accommodated in the system. Importantly, this is achieved with a considerably smaller size of the transmitted codewords, potentially yielding lower latency and bandwidth occupancy, as well as lower implementation complexity.
