Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Quantification of Environmental Water Requirement based on random percentage of annual mean flow do not address the actual needs of the water dependent ecosystems, it possibly overestimates or underestimate the requirements. Scientific communities worldwide are working to design an appropriate approach for the quantification of the environmental water requirements for an interest area. Among their efforts," habitat based approach" is a popular method in estimating environmental water needs. The environmental water requirement of Lake Abjiata is computed based on this approach by estimating the water requirement of Lesser Flamingos, which are dominant birds that feed on the lake but significantly reducing in number. Their water requirement was computed indirectly based on their food and energy requirement and on the water requirements of their main food, the microalgae known as Arthrospira Spirullina. In addition the estimation considers the direct evaporation from the lake and drinking water requirement of the birds, Therefore, this study estimated the environmental water requirement of Lake Abijata to support 108,275 Lesser Flamingos within 132 km lake area as 221.8MCM. In addition the study evaluates the water balance of the lake to support, this environmental water requirement and confirmed that the environmental water requirement accounts for 50.6% of the mean annual inflow to the Lake, which includes the direct rainfall over the lake and river inflow from the lake catchment.

description: In histopathological image analysis, feature extraction for classification is a challenging task due to the diversity of histology features suitable for each problem as well as presence of rich geometrical structure. In this paper, we propose an automatic feature discovery framework for extracting discriminative class-specific features and present a low-complexity method for classification and disease grading in histopathology. Essentially, our Discriminative Feature-oriented Dictionary Learning (DFDL) method learns class-specific features which are suitable for representing samples from the same class while are poorly capable of representing samples from other classes. Experiments on three challenging real-world image databases: 1) histopathological images of intraductal breast lesions, 2) mammalian lung images provided by the Animal Diagnostics Lab (ADL) at Pennsylvania State University, and 3) brain tumor images from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, show the significance of DFDL model in a variety problems over state-of-the-art methods

description: Переломы и возникающие в результате их костные дефекты трудно поддаются лечению и не всегда позволяют достичь в конечном результате удовлетворительной функции поврежденного сегмента. Для оптимизации регенерации костной ткани и восстановления целостности кости разрабатываются различные техники консервативного и оперативного лечения. Одним из последних перспективных направлений в решении этого вопроса является применение обогащенной тромбоцитами плазмы (PRP). Цель – изучить и оценить возможную перспективность применения обогащенной тромбоцитами плазмы в лечении переломов костей и восполнении дефицита костной ткани и имеющиеся на сегодняшний день технологии применения различных систем и имплантов для оптимизации регенерации костной ткани. Материалы и методы. В ходе работы были использованы интернет-ресурсы PubMed, Elibrary, Сyberleninka. Результаты. Проведен тщательный анализ отечественной и международной литературы (с 2015 по 2020 год), посвященной применению различных костных заменителей, а также обогащенной тромбоцитами плазмы в вопросе оптимизации регенерации костной ткани. Заключение. Анализ изученных данных показал, что на сегодняшний день имеется достаточно много интересных, перспективных, научно обоснованных исследований авторов со всего мира в поддержку использования факторов роста для оптимизации регенерации костной ткани. Тем не менее, клиническую эффективность богатой тромбоцитами плазмы и факторов роста, полученных из крови, еще предстоит доказать. На сегодняшний день отсутствует единый протокол изготовления PRP. Это приводит к высокой гетерогенности исследований, искажает понятие об истинных свойствах тромбоцитов и ограничивает возможность применения обогащенной тромбоцитами плазмы. Вопрос применения PRP в лечении острой травмы как метод восполнения дефицита костной ткани в зоне перелома, как самостоятельный или вспомогающий элемент для реорганизации трансплантата различного генеза в зоне дефекта остается открытым и требует систематизации, общих протоколов использования и дальнейшего изучения.

description: Cloud-native architecture is becoming increasingly crucial for today's cloud computing environments due to the need for speed and flexibility in developing applications. It utilizes microservice technology to break down traditional monolithic applications into light-weight and self-contained microservice components. However, as microservices grow in scale and have dynamic inter-dependencies, they also pose new challenges in resource provisioning that cannot be fully addressed by traditional resource scheduling approaches. The various microservices with different resource needs and latency requirements can create complex calling chains, making it difficult to provide fine-grained and accurate resource allocation to each component while maintaining the overall quality of service in the chain. In this work, we aim to address the research problem on how to efficiently provision resources for the growing scale of microservice platform and ensure the performance of latency-critical microservices. To address the problem, we present in-depth analyses of Alibaba's microservice cluster and propose optimized resource provisioning algorithms to enhance resource utilization while ensuring the latency requirement. First, we analyze the distinct features of microservices in Alibaba's cluster compared to traditional applications. Then we present Alibaba's resource capacity provisioning workflow and framework to address challenges in resource provisioning for large-scale and latency-critical microservice clusters. Finally, we propose enhanced resource provisioning algorithms over Alibaba's current practice by making both proactive and reactive scheduling decisions based on different workloads patterns, which can improve resource usage by 10-15% in Alibaba's clusters, while maintaining the necessary latency for microservices.

description: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine socio-demographic and psychosocial correlates of non-adherence to an accelerometry protocol in an economically disadvantaged urban population. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: We analyzed 985 New York City adult participants aged 18–81 years from the Physical Activity and Redesigned Community Spaces (PARCS) study. Participants were asked to wear a hip-worn ActiGraph GT3X-BT accelerometer for one week. Adherent accelerometer wear was defined as ≥3 days of ≥8 h/day of wear over a 7-day period and non-adherent accelerometry wear was defined as any wear less than adherent wear from returned accelerometers. Examined correlates of adherence included sociodemographic and psychosocial characteristics (e.g., general physical/mental health-related quality of life, self-efficacy for exercise, stress, sense of community/neighborhood well-being, and social cohesion). Results: From the total sample, 636 (64.6%) participants provided adherent wear and 349 (35.4%) provided non-adherent wear. In multivariable analysis, younger age (odds ratio [OR] = 0.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.53–0.75), poorer health-related quality of life (OR = 0.80, 95% CI: 0.65–0.98 for physical health and OR = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.62–0.94 for mental health), lower sense of community (OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.62–1.00) and current smoking status (OR = 1.97, 95% CI: 1.35–2.86) were associated with non-adherent wear. Conclusions: Non-adherent wear was associated with younger age, smoking, and lower self-reported physical/mental functioning and sense of community. This information can inform targeted adherence strategies to improve physical activity and sedentary behavior estimates from accelerometry data in future studies involving an urban minority population.

description: Aim: Childhood Adversity (CA) is strongly linked to psychotic-like symptoms across the clinical spectrum, though the mechanisms underlying these associations remain poorly understood. Negative cognitive schemas are associated with both CA exposure and psychotic symptoms, highlighting the possibility that cognitive schemas may be a key risk pathway. The purpose of this study was to determine whether negative cognitive schemas mediate the association between CA and specific attenuated psychotic symptoms in a large sample of clinical-high risk youth. Given the variability in experiences that encompass CA (eg, abuse, neglect and poverty) and attenuated psychotic symptoms (eg, suspiciousness and perceptual abnormalities), we also tested whether these associations differ by CA type (threat vs deprivation) and attenuated positive psychotic symptom domain. Methods: Data were collected from 531 clinical-high risk youth between 12 and 35 years of age (mean = 18.80, SD = 4.21) who completed a clinical assessment that included the Structured Interview of Prodromal Syndromes (SIPS), Childhood Trauma and Abuse scale and questionnaires on cognitive schemas and depressive symptoms. Results: No direct effects of threat or deprivation exposure on any of the psychotic symptom domains were found. However, there was a unique indirect effect of threat, but not deprivation, on delusional thinking and suspiciousness through negative cognitive schemas about others. Conclusion: Cognitive vulnerability in the form of negative schemas about others may be one mechanism linking childhood threat experiences and attenuated psychotic symptoms. The results underscore the importance of targeting negative schemas in interventions to mitigate psychosis risk.

description: The 5-kW PPS5000 Hall thruster is currently under qualification at Safran. The life test demonstration has new exceeded the 12,800-hr milestone, with the thruster delivering a total impulse of almost 11.7 MN.s. In parallel to the ongoing qualification life test on the primary qualification unit, additional test campaigns are being conducted with other qualification-standard hardware. These parallel activities are in support of the qualification as risk-mitigation actions, or as system-compatibility verifications. This paper focuses on the mass flow rate of the PPS5000 and on a tool set-up for in flight operations. More than a simple correlation tool from experimental test data, the entire dynamic simulation of the XFC (xenon flow control) based on EcosimProProosis and ESPSS libraries (European Space Propulsion System Simulation) has been included in a black-box fashion in the tool, thus enabling the steady-state assessments as well as the dynamic transients. The paper concludes with some examples of the use of the tool for the End-users for various inputs from in-flight data files or user-defined inputs.

description: The compact radio frequency negative ion source NIO1 (Negative Ion Optimization phase 1) has been designed, built and operated by Consorzio RFX and INFN-LNL in order to study and optimize the production and acceleration of H- ions in continuous operation. In 2020 Cs was evaporated in the source to increase the total extracted ion current. After an initial reduction of extracted electron to ion ratio and subsequently an increase of extracted negative ion current, the source performances progressively worsened, because of the excessive amount of Cs evaporated in the source; the extracted electron to ion ratio increased from below 1 to more than 10, while ion current density reduced from max. 67 A/m2 ion current to not more than 30 A/m2). The paper presents the experimental observations collected during Cs evaporation (reduction of plasma light, Cs emission and H$β$/H$γ$ ratio, etc.) that can help stopping the process before an excessive amount of Cs is introduced in the source. The paper also reports the cleaning techniques tested to remove the Cs excess by the action of hydrogen or argon plasmas; while argon was predictably more effective in surface sputtering, a 3 h Ar plasma treatment was not sufficient to recover from overcesiation.

description: Previous stochastic localization-based super-resolution techniques are largely limited by the labeling density and the fidelity to the morphology of specimen. We report on an optical super-resolution imaging scheme implementing joint tagging using multiple fluorescent blinking dyes associated with super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging (JT-SOFI), achieving ultra-high labeling density super-resolution imaging. To demonstrate the feasibility of JT-SOFI, quantum dots with different emission spectra were jointly labeled to the tubulin in COS7 cells, creating ultra-high density labeling. After analyzing and combining the fluorescence intermittency images emanating from spectrally resolved quantum dots, the microtubule networks are capable of being investigated with high fidelity and remarkably enhanced contrast at sub-diffraction resolution. The spectral separation also significantly decreased the frame number required for SOFI, enabling fast super-resolution microscopy through simultaneous data acquisition. As the joint-tagging scheme can decrease the labeling density in each spectral channel, we can faithfully reflect the continuous microtubule structure with high resolution through collection of only 100 frames per channel. The improved continuity of the microtubule structure is quantitatively validated with image skeletonization, thus demonstrating the advantage of JT-SOFI over other localization-based super-resolution methods.

description: Many datasets exhibit a well-defined structure that can be exploited to design faster search tools, but it is not always clear when such acceleration is possible. Here, we introduce a framework for similarity search based on characterizing a dataset's entropy and fractal dimension. We prove that searching scales in time with metric entropy (number of covering hyperspheres), if the fractal dimension of the dataset is low, and scales in space with the sum of metric entropy and information-theoretic entropy (randomness of the data). Using these ideas, we present accelerated versions of standard tools, with no loss in specificity and little loss in sensitivity, for use in three domains---high-throughput drug screening (Ammolite, 150x speedup), metagenomics (MICA, 3.5x speedup of DIAMOND [3,700x BLASTX]), and protein structure search (esFragBag, 10x speedup of FragBag). Our framework can be used to achieve "compressive omics," and the general theory can be readily applied to data science problems outside of biology.

description: In this paper we will introduce the Terzina instrument, which is one of the two scientific payloads of the NUSES satellite mission. NUSES serves as a technological pathfinder, hosting a suite of innovative instruments designed for the in-orbit detection of cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gamma rays across various energy ranges. The Terzina instrument itself is a compact telescope equipped with Schmidt-Cassegrain optics. Its primary objective is to detect Cherenkov radiation emitted by Extensive Air Showers generated by the interaction of high-energy (> 100 PeV) cosmic rays with the Earth's atmosphere. Terzina represents a critical step forward in the development of future space-based instruments aimed at detecting upward-moving showers induced by tau-leptons and muons resulting from the interaction of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos with the Earth. In this paper, we will delve into the key technical aspects of the Terzina instrument, its capabilities, and its potential for detection.

description: Background The duration of protection afforded by coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccines in the United States is unclear. Whether the increase in postvaccination infections during the summer of 2021 was caused by declining immunity over time, the emergence of the B.1.617.2 (delta) variant, or both is unknown. Methods We extracted data regarding Covid-19–related vaccination and outcomes during a 9-month period (December 11, 2020, to September 8, 2021) for approximately 10.6 million North Carolina residents by linking data from the North Carolina Covid-19 Surveillance System and the Covid-19 Vaccine Management System. We used a Cox regression model to estimate the effectiveness of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech), mRNA-1273 (Moderna), and Ad26.COV2.S (Johnson & Johnson–Janssen) vaccines in reducing the current risks of Covid-19, hospitalization, and death, as a function of time elapsed since vaccination. Results For the two-dose regimens of messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines BNT162b2 (30 μg per dose) and mRNA-1273 (100 μg per dose), vaccine effectiveness against Covid-19 was 94.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 94.1 to 94.9) and 95.9% (95% CI, 95.5 to 96.2), respectively, at 2 months after the first dose and decreased to 66.6% (95% CI, 65.2 to 67.8) and 80.3% (95% CI, 79.3 to 81.2), respectively, at 7 months. Among early recipients of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, effectiveness decreased by approximately 15 and 10 percentage points, respectively, from mid-June to mid-July, when the delta variant became dominant. For the one-dose regimen of Ad26.COV2.S (5×1010 viral particles), effectiveness against Covid-19 was 74.8% (95% CI, 72.5 to 76.9) at 1 month and decreased to 59.4% (95% CI, 57.2 to 61.5) at 5 months. All three vaccines maintained better effectiveness in preventing hospitalization and death than in preventing infection over time, although the two mRNA vaccines provided higher levels of protection than Ad26.COV2.S. Conclusions All three Covid-19 vaccines had durable effectiveness in reducing the risks of hospitalization and death. Waning protection against infection over time was due to both declining immunity and the emergence of the delta variant.

description: The collective behavior of swarms is extremely difficult to estimate or predict, even when the local agent rules are known and simple. The presented work seeks to leverage the similarities between fluids and swarm systems to generate a thermodynamics-inspired characterization of the collective behavior of robotic swarms. While prior works have borrowed tools from fluid dynamics to design swarming behaviors, they have usually avoided the task of generating a fluids-inspired macroscopic state (or macrostate) description of the swarm. This work will bridge the gap by seeking to answer the following question: is it possible to generate a small set of thermodynamics-inspired macroscopic properties that may later be used to quantify all possible collective behaviors of swarm systems? In this paper, we present three macroscopic properties analogous to pressure, temperature, and density of a gas, to describe the behavior of a swarm that is governed by only attractive and repulsive agent interactions. These properties are made to satisfy an equation similar to the ideal gas law, and also generalized to satisfy the virial equation of state for real gases. Finally, we investigate how swarm specifications such as density and average agent velocity affect the system macrostate.

description: We discuss the future prospects of heavy neutrino searches at next generation lepton colliders. In particular, we focus on the planned electron-positron colliders, operating in two different beam modes, namely, $e^+e^-$ and $e^-e^-$. In the $e^+e^-$ beam mode, we consider various production and decay modes of the heavy neutrino ($N$), and find that the final state with $e+2j+{E\!\!\!/}_T$, arising from the $e^+e^-\to Nν$ production mode, is the most promising channel. However, since this mode is insensitive to the Majorana nature of the heavy neutrinos, we also study a new production channel $e^+e^-\to Ne^\pm W^\mp$, which leads to a same-sign dilepton plus four jet final state, thus directly probing the lepton number violation in $e^+e^-$ colliders. In the $e^-e^-$ beam mode, we study the prospects of the lepton number violating process of $e^-e^-\to W^-W^-$, mediated by a heavy Majorana neutrino. We use both cut-based and multivariate analysis techniques to make a realistic calculation of the relevant signal and background events, including detector effects for a generic linear collider detector. We find that with the cut-based analysis, the light-heavy neutrino mixing parameter $|V_{eN}|^2$ can be probed down to $\sim 10^{-4}$ at 95\% C.L. for the heavy neutrino mass up to $400$ GeV or so at $\sqrt s=500$ GeV with $100 \rm{fb}^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. For smaller mixing values, we show that a multivariate analysis can improve the signal significance by up to an order of magnitude. These limits will be at least an order of magnitude better than the current best limits from electroweak precision data, as well as the projected limits from $\sqrt s=14$ TeV LHC.

REUSABLE LAUNCH VEHICLES

description: The introduction of reusability to launch vehicles is expected to lower launch costs, subsequently enabling a low-cost access to space. The recent success of the Falcon 9 vehicle has proven that reusable launch vehicles are able to combine low launch costs with high reliability. Nevertheless, introducing reusability to launch vehicles always comes with a price: lower payload performance, higher dry mass, higher complexity and thus higher development effort of the respective launchers. Thus, developing, producing and operating a reusable launch vehicle can only be justified if the total launch costs and life-cycle costs can be lowered compared to expendable launch vehicles. The key to economic success of an RLV (reusable launch vehicle) are low refurbishment and maintenance costs. An accurate estimation of expected costs, which favorably already is done in the preliminary design phase of a launch vehicle, is hence of crucial importance for the future development of RLVs. However, determining launch costs is a difficult and uncertain venture. Contrary to the technical design of a launcher, there are many uncertainties and unknowns in the calculation of launch costs. Therefore, in a first step, the established parametric cost estimation tool Transcost was used to determine launch costs of RLV studies and systems which were recently designed at DLR. A simple model for refurbishment costs was introduced and a parametric variation is performed to identify breakeven-points to expendable launch vehicles and determine the influence of factors such as number of reuses, launch rate and refurbishment costs onto the launch and life-cycle costs. In a second step, the cost data of historic such as recently developed launchers is used to build an own, simplified model. The cost estimation relationships of the Transcost model are re-evaluated and recalculated taking also statistical uncertainties into account. Thus, new cost estimation formulas are derived, allowing the determination of launch costs including a measurement of the uncertainty of said costs. Furthermore, the influence of input parameters and their uncertainties onto the launch costs are determined by parametric variation and a sensitivity study. In the end, the costs calculated with this in-house cost estimation tool are compared to the Transcost model. Both approaches are critically evaluated and discussed with respect to their validity to allow a better understanding of the potential costs and cost structure of future RLVs.
Kinematics of powerful jets from intermediate-mass protostars in the Carina nebula

description: We present measurements of proper motions and radial velocities of four powerful Herbig-Haro (HH) jets in the Carina nebula: HH 666, HH 901, HH 902, and HH 1066. Two epochs of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging separated by a time baseline of ~4.4 years provide proper motions that allow us to measure the transverse velocities of the jets, while ground-based spectra sample their Doppler velocities. Together these yield full three-dimensional space velocities. Aside from HH 666, their identification as outflows was previously inferred only from morphology in images. Proper motions now show decisively that these objects are indeed jets, and confirm that the intermediate-mass protostars identified as the candidate driving sources for HH 666 and HH 1066 are indeed the origin of these outflows. The appearance of two new knots in the HH 1066 jet suggest recent (~35 yr) changes in the accretion rate, underscoring the variable nature of accretion and outflow in the formation of intermediate-mass stars. In fact, kinematics and mass-ejection histories for all the jets suggest highly episodic mass loss, and point toward pronounced accretion fluctuations. Overall, we measure velocities similar to those found for low-mass protostars. However, the HH jets in Carina have higher densities and are more massive than their low-mass counterparts. Coarse estimates suggest that the heavy jets of intermediate-mass protostars can compete with or even exceed inject ~10 or more times the cumulative momentum injection of lower-mass protostars.
