description: We present a novel natural language generation system for spoken dialogue systems capable of entraining (adapting) to users' way of speaking, providing contextually appropriate responses. The generator is based on recurrent neural networks and the sequence-to-sequence approach. It is fully trainable from data which include preceding context along with responses to be generated. We show that the context-aware generator yields significant improvements over the baseline in both automatic metrics and a human pairwise preference test.

Technical Efficiency of Public Health Centers: The Case of Addis Ababa and Selected Health Centers of Oromia
Creators: name: Balcha, Tamiru
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2002

description: This paper combines Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with regression analysis to evaluate the technical efficiency of public health centers in Addis Ababa and selected health centers of Oromia Region. Efficiency is first estimated using DEA with the inputs and outputs Specific to the health centers operations. An OLS and Logit models are then employed in which the efficiency scores obtained from the DEA Computations is used as the dependent variable, and a number of health center operating characteristics are chosen as the independent variables. The DEA results indicate that 60 % of health centers in data set have some degree of technical inefficiency and about 60% were scale inefficient. In the analysis, the input reduction required to make the inefficient health centers technically efficient is also identified. From the OLS and Logit results, location and availability of public health care providing unit (hospital) in the area are significantly associated with efficiency. In conclusion, the DEA results constitute a strong guide to health care decision-making, especially with regard to rational use of health care resources.
(Re)solving Mysteries of Convection and Mass Loss of AGB Stars: What New Models and Observations Tell Us About Long-Standing Problems
Creators: name: Höfner, Susanne

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: The recent progress in high-spatial-resolution techniques, spanning wavelengths from the visual to the radio regime, is leading to new valuable insights into the complex dynamical atmospheres of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and their wind forming regions. Striking examples are images of asymmetries and inhomogeneities in the photospheric and dust-forming layers which vary on time-scales of months. These features are probably related to large-scale convective flows predicted by 3D star-in-a-box models. Furthermore, high-resolution observations make it possible to measure dust condensation distances, and they give information about the chemical composition and sizes of dust grains in the close vicinity of cool giants. These are essential constraints for building realistic models of wind acceleration and developing a predictive theory of mass loss for AGB stars, which is a crucial ingredient of stellar and galactic chemical evolution models.

Farm Households Labor Supply to off Farm Activities in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Damte, Abebe
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2002

description: Farm households in Ethiopia are participating in off farm activities to supplement their farm income. Despite the importance of off farm income to the farmers less attention was given to the sector. There is also little empirical evidence on the off farm labor supply behavior of farm households in Ethiopia. Understanding the factors that affect the off farm work decisions is very important for rural development in general and farmers in particular. Therefore this paper tries to see the off farm participation decision and labor supply behavior of farm households in Ethiopia. It uses the 1999 Ethiopian rural household survey conducted by the department of economics of Addis Ababa University in collaboration with the US AID. The bivariate probit and Tobit models are used to analyze the data. The results of the study indicated that various individual and farm characteristics affect the off farm work participation and labor supply decisions of farmers. Of the human capital variables, education of the household head does not affect the off farm work decisions of farmers. It increases the return on the farm. But average schooling of the family positively affects the off farm labor supply of males. The off farm wage rate is significantly affected by the level of schooling of the household members and is more important for female members than males. The other human capital variables included in the study, farm experience, handicraft training, and health status of the family are important factors that affect the off farm work decisions of farm households. The availability of financial sources has a significant impact on farmers' decision to engage in the sector. The negative effect with land size shows that poor and landless households will be benefited from the sector

description: The Atacama Cosmology Telescope Polarimeter (ACTPol) is a polarization sensitive upgrade to the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. Located at an elevation of 5190 m, ACTPol measures the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization with arcminute-scale angular resolution. Calibration of the detector angles is a critical step in producing maps of the CMB polarization. Polarization angle offsets in the detector calibration can cause leakage in polarization from E to B modes and induce a spurious signal in the EB and TB cross correlations, which eliminates our ability to measure potential cosmological sources of EB and TB signals, such as cosmic birefringence. We present our optical modeling and measurements associated with calibrating the detector angles in ACTPol.

Year: 2002

description: Analysis of the operation of the manufacturing sector in connection with trade liberalization is important. It helps to see what impacts (positive or adverse) has happened following the change in trade regime and envisages what action to take in the future. Review of trade related policy measures and assessment of the extent of liberalization are made using some indicators. Both econometric and descriptive techniques are also applied to investigate the operation of the manufacturing sector and the association between measures of productivity and some indicators of liberalization. The results indicate that manufacturing output, value added, capital expenditure and sales have increased after the reform when compared with the pre reform situation. Share of manufacturing export, however, depicted a declining trend after 1995/96. There is also an increase in the number of firms though manufacturing employment has not shown significant changes between the two periods. The increase in output that observed after the reform is mainly attributed to the performances during the initial periods of the trade reform than being the whole period phenomena. Only a minor increase in productivity has been observed in the post reform period. Increased competition across domestic firms and fall in parallel market premium are found to affect the productivity of the manufacturing sector positively, while the effect of change in relative prices (measured by ratio of effective exchange rates) is not significant. Size of the different sector also has an implication on efficiency. The observed results, in general, imply that strengthening domestic competition by encouraging entry and liberalizing the foreign exchange market with accompanied trade policy adjustment has impacts on the performance of the manufacturing sector. Emphasizing the role of prices alone is not, however, sufficient to bring the intended changes in productivity.

The Role of Women's Status on Children's Nutrition Security in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Aitatikie, Habtamu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Well improved health care and child nutrition is a manifestation for any country to escape from poverty. In most developing countries like Ethiopia children suffer from the burden of malnutrition. Numerous of studies in recent years have focused attention on the determinants of child nutrition in the developing countries. In the Ethiopian case, Studies show that almost half of the children are either stunted or underweight. This paper contributed to this concern by giving concern to that of women empowerment measurement variables and their correlation with nutritional status. Principally this paper examines the role of women's status on children's nutrition security in Ethiopia using the EDHS 2011 survey. The paper employs both descriptive and Econometrics tools (both bivariate and Multivariate techniques) to show the interrelation ship among different women's status indicator variables including other socio economic variables on child nutrition. The study found that women's education, decision making role of women, women's attitude towards domestic violence and child age as a significant factor for child nutrition. The study also found that wealth index of households, availability of toilet and sanitation services as determining factor for child nutrition. Separate regressions for rural and urban samples have been conducted and we observe that there is child malnutrition variation in terms of place of residence in which those of children who reside in rural areas are more stunted and underweight. There is also a considerable malnutrition difference among regions too. Hence, having this trend in mind intervention mechanisms not only to improve child nutrition but also so as to empower women in every aspect like Economical, social and related aspects is necessary

description: Numerical simulation has been conducted for the chaotic flow in a 3D closed-loop pulsating heat pipe (PHP). Heat flux and constant temperature boundary conditions were applied for evaporator and condenser sections, respectively. Water and ethanol were used as working fluids. Volume of Fluid (VOF) method has been employed for two-phase flow simulation. Spectral analysis of temperature time series was carried out using Power Spectrum Density (PSD) method. Existence of dominant peak in PSD diagram indicated periodic or quasi-periodic behavior in temperature oscillations at particular frequencies. Correlation dimension values for ethanol as working fluid was found to be higher than that for water under the same operating conditions. Similar range of Lyapunov exponent values for the PHP with water and ethanol as working fluids indicated strong dependency of Lyapunov exponent to the structure and dimensions of the PHP. An O-ring structure pattern was obtained for reconstructed 3D attractor at periodic or quasi-periodic behavior of temperature oscillations. Minimum thermal resistance of 0.85 degree/W and 0.88 degree/W were obtained for PHP with water and ethanol, respectively. Simulation results showed good agreement with experimental results from other work under the same operating conditions.

The Impact of Public Service Sector Expenditure on Economic Growth of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tolcha, Berhanu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: The Ethiopian government aims to increase the overall expenditure especially on service sector by more than double from time to time even if the theorical foundation of some scholars-are inconclusive. I.e. according to Keynesian view, the increase in public spending on socioeconomic and physical structures is important and encourages economic growth while classical economists argue that the increase in public expenditure may shift resources from the productive private sector to public sector which they believe unproductive and hence, crowd out overall performance of the economy. This implies policy makers are under debate whether to increase in public spending helps or hinders economic growth. This paper attempts to measures the impact of public spending on service sector on economic output in Ethiopia; by using annual data set on GDP and government expenditure for the period of 1974-2012. The elasticity of GDP with respect to public spending on service sector is estimated using VAR regression. The study employ co-integration and error-correction model to examine the short and long run relationships between GDP and government sectors spending on service sector (education, health, defense, transport and communication, tourism, culture and sport). It is found that health, education, defense, tourism, culture and sport have both short and long run statistically positive significant effect on growth while transport and communication have negative insignificant effect on economic growth. These results have policy implication because if health, education and tourism are given the priority by investing more on these sectors they will bring us about sustainable economic growth.
Stories from the Land: Revealing Plural Narratives within One Landscape
Creators: name: Davis, Shannon
Publisher: name: Landscape Review

description: Landscape narrative theory initiates new ways of understanding landscape. This paper explores the concept of landscape narrative within a case study site rich in the cultural history of Aotearoa New Zealand: Maungakiekie | One Tree Hill and Cornwall Park, in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. It discusses the complexity of narrative representation within historically significant public spaces and considers the research question first asked by Potteiger and Purinton (1998a) in Landscape Narratives: Design Practices for Telling Stories: ‘how can pluralistic landscape narratives be revealed within shared public landscapes, responding to multiple histories, and relating to a diverse contemporary culture?’ This paper concludes by proposing an ‘open’ narrative approach to revealing historical landscapes, as a method to elicit plural ‘readings’ that traverse conventional boundaries of governance, time and ‘official’ interpretation. In so doing, the approach promotes greater connection, across time, with people and place.

While III-nitride optoelectronics in the visible and ultraviolet spectral range is widely established, all-nitride and In-free efficient devices in the near-infrared (NIR) are still wanted. Here, through a comprehensive protocol of design, modeling, epitaxial growth and in-depth characterization, we develop Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N:Mn/GaN NIR distributed Bragg reflectors and we show their efficiency in combination with GaN:(Mn,Mg) layers containing Mn-Mg$_{k}$ complexes optically active in the telecommunication range of wavelengths.

description: Karanga is the formal call of welcome in Māori culture. Māori are tangata whenua, the Indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Karanga as an expression of culture is more than a call: it is an aspect of intangible heritage. The call is performed by women, representing specific roles within traditional Māori culture, to transfer expertise and information (Ruwhiu, 2009). Karanga is the first voice heard when groups are ceremonially meeting, traditionally occurring as an exchange between senior and trusted women on behalf of the groups. In taking this role, the women assert their place in the extended section of the tribe or group, as well as in Māori ritual and protocol. The karanga may also be sent out to other indivisible life forms such as forests, creatures, mountains, rivers and metaphysical deities. It is an exchange between people, and between people and nature. The elements of nature – birds, insects, land, all life – hear and respond (Menzies and Wilson, 2020, p 60). Adopting a kaupapa Māori rangahau methodology (S Walker et al, 2006, p 331), this paper is based on wānanga karanga which took place at Te Whare Wānanga o Wairaka, held quarterly with practitioners. Karanga is practised as personal and group expansion of life experiences and knowledge of language, tikanga and customary traditions. This is related to land, place identity, and healing. Ancestral knowledge enables cultural practice in a contemporary world that can point to solutions for more sustainable ways of living with Papatūānuku | Earth Mother. This paper addresses how karanga as a cultural practice can enhance landscapes through relationships with land and by offering strategic ways to tackle wicked manmade problems, including biodiversity loss, climate change and pollution.

Assessment of the Performance of Export Support/Promotion Services: The Case of EEPA/EPD
Creators: name: Haile, Abebe
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2008

description: The rapid pace of technological change and increased capital mobility has stimulated a process of globalization which has encouraged firms to locate the production process across countries to take advantage of differences in comparative advantage. Today the world is becoming a small village. To be participant in this is process is not a matter of choice but indeed a must. Since the last two decades Ethiopia has been taking series of macro and micro -economic measures and shows its commitment to integrate itself to the global economy. Though there are improvements in both the type and quantity of export commodities, the country has been experiencing an increase in the negative balance of trade. It is believed that effective national export support/promotion programs, if complemented with enabling national environment and international market access, are instrumental to sustainable growth and development. Additionally, in countries like Ethiopia, establishment and effective execution of a public export promotion/support service, that is integrated, networked, and has the public's trust and confidence is very desirable. In the course of this research project factors hindering this process are identified and possible solutions forwarded.

description: We present scattered light images of the TW Hya disk performed with SPHERE in PDI mode at 0.63, 0.79, 1.24 and 1.62 micron. We also present H2/H3-band ADI observations. Three distinct radial depressions in the polarized intensity distribution are seen, around 85, 21, and 6~au. The overall intensity distribution has a high degree of azimuthal symmetry; the disk is somewhat brighter than average towards the South and darker towards the North-West. The ADI observations yielded no signifiant detection of point sources in the disk. Our observations have a linear spatial resolution of 1 to 2au, similar to that of recent ALMA dust continuum observations. The sub-micron sized dust grains that dominate the light scattering in the disk surface are strongly coupled to the gas. We created a radiative transfer disk model with self-consistent temperature and vertical structure iteration and including grain size-dependent dust settling. This method may provide independent constraints on the gas distribution at higher spatial resolution than is feasible with ALMA gas line observations. We find that the gas surface density in the "gaps" is reduced by 50% to 80% relative to an unperturbed model. Should embedded planets be responsible for carving the gaps then their masses are at most a few 10 Mearth. The observed gaps are wider, with shallower flanks, than expected for planet-disk interaction with such low-mass planets. If forming planetary bodies have undergone collapse and are in the "detachted phase" then they may be directly observable with future facilities such as METIS at the E-ELT.

description: We present the identification of 634 variable stars in the Milky Way dSph satellite Sculptor based on archival ground-based optical observations spanning $\sim$24 years and covering $\sim$ 2.5 deg$^2$. We employed the same methodologies as the "Homogeneous Photometry" series published by Stetson. In particular, we have identified and characterized one of the largest (536) RR Lyrae samples so far in a Milky Way dSph satellite. We have also detected four Anomalous Cepheids, 23 SX Phoenicis stars, five eclipsing binaries, three field variable stars, three peculiar variable stars located above the horizontal branch - near to the locus of BL Herculis - that we are unable to classify properly. Additionally we identify 37 Long Period Variables plus 23 probable variable stars, for which the current data do not allow us to determine the period. We report positions and finding charts for all the variable stars, and basic properties (period, amplitude, mean magnitude) and light curves for 574 of them. We discuss the properties of the RR Lyrae stars in the Bailey diagram, which supports the coexistence of subpopulations with different chemical compositions. We estimate the mean mass of Anomalous Cepheids ($\sim$1.5M$_{\odot}$) and SX Phoenicis stars ($\sim$1M$_{\odot}$). We discuss in detail the nature of the former. The connections between the properties of the different families of variable stars are discussed in the context of the star formation history of the Sculptor dSph galaxy.

Huaki: Cultural Landscape Recognition Needed for Māori to Flourish in Housing

Publisher: name: Landscape Review
Year: 2022

description: Cultural landscape is important for Māori identity and connections to place (Fleming, 2016; Menzies and Wilson, 2020). However, the New Zealand government did not take this into account when it belatedly began to provide Māori with access to state houses. While having a rental house or being able to build a house with state assistance enabled Māori whānau (families and extended families) to form attachments to secure home environments, government planners did not consider either the tangible or the intangible aspects of place, both of which are generally seen as significant for Māori. Instead, they adopted plans and designs that fit with the dominant western culture. This paper investigates the approach of governments over time to policy, planning and design for state housing, arguing that recognising the tangible and intangible cultural landscape could benefit Māori tenants by addressing historical trauma and ameliorating cultural alienation without excluding others (Kennedy, 2019a, 2019b). This work is part of a government-funded research programme, Building Better Homes, Towns and Cities National Science Challenge, and aims to identify which policies have achieved the best outcomes for Māori housing. This paper considers how Māori culture and values could be incorporated into state policy and urban design for housing in ways that increase the wellbeing of residents and support their attachment to place and to Māori cultural landscapes. In exploring the relevance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (L Henry, 2021) and Māori cultural values in the context of government-planned suburban development, this paper interrogates the opinions of Māori living in the suburbs of Glen Innes, Ōtara and Māngere in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. The theoretical method of He Awa Whiria (Macfarlane et al, 2015), implemented as co-design, is an opportunity to implement urban design responsive to Māori culture. Its recognition of the interrelationship of all aspects of the community, including people, place, nature and water, would lead to better housing outcomes for Māori spiritually, emotionally and culturally.

description: Stellar activity and convection-related surface structures might cause bias in planet detection and characterization that use these transits. Surface convection simulations help to quantify the granulation signal. We used realistic three-dimensional radiative hydrodynamical simulations from the Stagger grid and synthetic images computed with the radiative transfer code Optim3D to model the transits of three prototype planets: a hot Jupiter, a hot Neptune, and a terrestrial planet. We computed intensity maps from RHD simulations of the Sun and a K-dwarf star at different wavelength bands from optical to far-infrared. We modeled the transit using synthetic stellar-disk images and emulated the temporal variation of the granulation intensity. We identified two types of granulation noise that act simultaneously during the planet transit: (i) the intrinsic change in the granulation pattern with timescales smaller than the usual planet transit, and (ii) the fact that the transiting planet occults isolated regions of the photosphere that differ in local surface brightness. Our modeling approach shows that the granulation pattern has a non-negligible effect on the light curve depth during the transit, and, consequentially on the determination of the radius of the planet transiting. The granulation noise appears to be correlated among the different wavelength ranges either in the visible or in the infrared regions. The granulation has to be considered as an intrinsic uncertainty (as a result of stellar variability) on the precise measurements of exoplanet transits of planets. The full characterization of the granulation is essential for determining the degree of uncertainty on the planet parameters. In this context, the use of 3D RHD simulations is important to measure the convection-related fluctuations.

description: We propose an efficient and flexible method for solving Abel integral equation of the first kind, frequently appearing in many fields of astrophysics, physics, chemistry, and applied sciences. This equation represents an ill-posed problem, thus solving it requires some kind of regularization. Our method is based on solving the equation on a so-called compact set of functions and/or using Tikhonov's regularization. A priori constraints on the unknown function, defining a compact set, are very loose and can be set using simple physical considerations. Tikhonov's regularization on itself does not require any explicit a priori constraints on the unknown function and can be used independently of such constraints or in combination with them. Various target degrees of smoothness of the unknown function may be set, as required by the problem at hand. The advantage of the method, apart from its flexibility, is that it gives uniform convergence of the approximate solution to the exact solution, as the errors of input data tend to zero. The method is illustrated on several simulated models with known solutions. An example of astrophysical application of the method is also given.

description: Stories of first explorations and the naming of landmarks, boundaries and resources by a renowned tipuna (ancestor) feature in most Māori pūrākau (oral traditions). The first explorer sets out captaining their great waka (ocean-going canoe), fighting battles with monsters or other explorers, enduring hardship to traverse the land and discover, name or create geographical features on their journey. In this way, the intrepid pioneer declares and defines the boundaries of the takiwā (area of responsibility) of their iwi (tribe), metaphorically throwing a korowai (cloak) of their mana (prestige or honour) and responsibility over the new whenua (land), embedding their nomenclature, collective tribal mauri (spirituality), traditions and whakapapa (genealogies) into the lands they anticipate their peoples will settle. Naming confers the status of mana whenua (local people), but in the Māori (Indigenous New Zealander) world, it confers much more than that. Naming, especially when done by a prominent leader or explorer, is the step that sees the recent settlers accept the role of kaitiaki (guardian) for the environment of their new home, as well as the resources it can produce. In this paper, I examine the deeds of the explorers of the past, comparing the kaupapa (methodology) of name-giving with the arbitrary nomenclature systems of settler surveyors and explorers in the nineteenth century, revealing the stories behind each original name and offering reasons for recognising them today.

description: We discuss why, in the determination of $α_s(m_τ^2)$ from hadronic $τ$ decays, two important assumptions made in most of previous analyses, namely the neglect of higher-dimension condensates and of Duality Violations (DVs), have introduced uncontrolled systematic errors into this determination. Although the use of pinched weights is usually offered as a justification of these assumptions, we explain why it is not possible to simultaneously suppress these two contributions; particularly since the Operator Product Expansion is expected to be an asymptotic, rather than a convergent expansion. There is not only experimental and theoretical evidence for DVs, but they also affect the extraction of $α_s(m_τ^2)$.

aerospike nozzle

description: The fluid flow and the aeroacoustic signature of an aerospike nozzle configuration are analyzed for one cold over-expanded configuration (Nozzle Pressure Ratio NPR3) and non-rotating inlet boundary conditions. Implicit Large Eddy Simulations (ILES) are performed, which provide data for far-field acoustic computations based on Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings equation (FWH). Power spectral density estimates in the far-field allow to identify screech and oscillations modes of the annular shock-cell structure as the main sources of sound
Magnetic Catalysis in Graphene Effective Field Theory

description: We report on the first observation of magnetic catalysis at zero temperature in a fully nonperturbative simulation of the graphene effective field theory. Using lattice gauge theory, a nonperturbative analysis of the theory of strongly-interacting, massless, (2+1)-dimensional Dirac fermions in the presence of an external magnetic field is performed. We show that in the zero-temperature limit, a nonzero value for the chiral condensate is obtained which signals the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. This result implies a nonzero value for the dynamical mass of the Dirac quasiparticle. This in turn has been posited to account for the quantum-Hall plateaus that are observed at large magnetic fields.

Assessment of Addis Ababa as a Business Tourism Destination from the Suppliers' Perspective
Creators: name: Abebe, Frew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Tourism worldwide is becoming increasingly competitive. Performance of destinations has been associated in the tourism literature as a critical element for the success of tourism destinations. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying and analyzing the various factors that influence the competitiveness of tourism destinations. The aim of this study was to present the results of a survey on the performance of Addis Ababa as a business tourism destination from a suppliers' perspective. The study was descriptive and used cross sectional data. The data were collected using survey questionnaire from supply side stakeholders found in Addis Ababa city. In addition, secondary data were also utilized. The data collected were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics and results were discussed on importance-performance analysis (IPA) grid. The study reveals that Addis Ababa is not performing well in many of the business tourism destination attributes. It is only 22% of the total attributes presented to the respondents that the destination was viewed to be competitive when almost all attributes were seen to be important for Addis Ababa as a business tourism destination. The study also suggests recommendations which should be taken to increase the competitiveness of Addis Ababa as a business tourism destination. Key Words: Business Tourism, Destination performance, Addis Ababa, Suppliers' perspective

description: Astrophysical techniques have pioneered the discovery of neutrino mass properties. Current cosmological observations give an upper bound on neutrino masses by attempting to disentangle the small neutrino contribution from the sum of all matter using precise theoretical models. We discover the differential neutrino condensation effect in our TianNu N-body simulation. Neutrino masses can be inferred using this effect by comparing galaxy properties in regions of the universe with different neutrino relative abundance (i.e. the local neutrino to cold dark matter density ratio). In "neutrino-rich"' regions, more neutrinos can be captured by massive halos compared to "neutrino-poor" regions. This effect differentially skews the halo mass function and opens up the path to independent neutrino mass measurements in current or future galaxy surveys.

description: We exploit the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G) — the deepest infrared (IR) insight available for nearby galaxies at 3.6 μm and 4.5 μm — to determine the stellar mass content of bars based on a sample of ~350 massive barred galaxies. Our results point to bars encompassing from a few percent to 30% of the galaxy’s total stellar mass, with a typical value of 7%, where bars appear to englobe a greater proportion of the total stellar mass of the host in more massive galaxies and in galaxies with more prominent bulges. We also take a multi-band look at bar properties (length and strength, characterized via ellipticity) and show that bars appear thinner and longer at bluer bands. These results are pioneering in providing a reference for band-shifting corrections in order to reliably gauge any intrinsic redshift evolution of bar properties beyond z∼0.8. This opens the door for current and future studies to exploit current high-resolution imaging surveys and extend detailed morphological and mass studies of bars out to the high-z universe.
