The Determinants of Financial Distress in the Case of Manufacturing Share Companies in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tesfamariam, Yohannes
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: The major focus of this study is to investigate empirically financial distress determinants in the case of manufacturing share companies in Addis Ababa-Ethiopia. Twelve manufacturing share companies were included in the sample that had at least five years annual report. Document review was used for collecting data from 2009- 2013 annual reports. In line with this objective, the study adopted quantitative methods of research approaches to test the study hypothesis. The study applied panel data model with its random effect estimate to test a series of hypotheses that emerge through the review of existing literature. To confidently forward conclusion, normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedastcity and autocorrelation tests were conducted on the data. The data then was processed using Eviews 6 statistical package. The collected data then analyzed using descriptive statistics, and panel date regression analysis. The results show that solvability (SOL), firm size (FSIZE), economic growth(EG) and liquidity(LI) have positive and significant influences to Debt Service Coverage (DSC) as a proxy of financial distress. On the other hand, leverage (Lev) has a negative and significant relation with DSC. Other variables such as profitability, efficiency and inflation have no significant impact on the status of firm's financial distress in manufacturing share companies in Addis Ababa-Ethiopia

description: Using nonequilibrium Langevin dynamics simulations of an electrolyte with explicit solvent particles, we investigate the effect of hydrodynamic interactions on the power spectrum of ionic nanopore currents. At low frequency, we find a power-law dependence of the power spectral density, with an exponent depending on the ion density. Surprisingly, however, the exponent is not affected by the presence of the neutral solvent particles. We conclude that hydrodynamic interactions do not affect the shape of the power spectrum in the frequency range studied.

description: In this paper we study the shape characteristics of a polymer chain in a good solvent using a mesoscopic level of modelling. The dissipative particle dynamics simulations are performed in the $3D$ space at a range of chain lengths $N$. The scaling laws for the end-to-end distance and gyration radius are examined first and found to hold for $N\geq 10$ yielding reasonably accurate value for the Flory exponent $ν$. Within the same interval of chain lengths, the asphericity, prolateness, size ratio and other shape characteristics of the chain are found to become independent of $N$. Their mean values are found to agree reasonably well with the respective theoretical results and lattice Monte Carlo simulations. Broad probability distributions for the shape characteristics are found resembling in form the results of lattice Monte Carlo simulations. By means of analytic fitting of these distributions the most probable values for the shape characteristics are found to supplement their mean values.

description: We address a long standing problem concerning the origin of bosonic excitations that strongly interact with charge carriers. We show that the time-resolved pump-probe experiments are capable to distinguish between regular bosonic degrees of freedom, e.g. phonons, and the hard-core bosons, e.g., magnons. The ability of phonon degrees of freedom to absorb essentially unlimited amount of energy renders relaxation dynamics nearly independent on the absorbed energy or the fluence. In contrast, the hard core effects pose limits on the density of energy stored in the bosonic subsystems resulting in a substantial dependence of the relaxation time on the fluence and/or excitation energy. Very similar effects can be observed also in a different setup when the system is driven by multiple pulses of equal energy.

description: Nous nous intéressons dans ce travail au calcul de la probabilité de diffusion d'ions lents (quelques Kev) par une surface solide, ce calcul est basé sur la résolution de l'équation de Boltzmann dans la théorie de transport. Dans ce modèle valable pour les faibles angles de diffusion, les collisions sont binaires et la distribution des centres diffuseurs dans la cible est homogène, ce travail est pour but l'étude de l'effet de la perte d'énergie sur la probabilité de diffusion d'ions par une surface solide à basse énergie. Nous avons décrit l'interaction projectile-atome cible par un potentiel coulombien écranté proposé par Zigler - Birsack - Littmark potentiel (ZBL), Nous avons considéré les systèmes He+/Si et He+/Ni pour différentes valeurs de l'énergie incidente des projectiles .Différentes valeurs de l'angle de diffusion ont été étudiées. Dans une première étape, nous avons calculé ΔP1, la probabilité de diffusion en négligeant la perte d'énergie du projectile dans la cible .Cependant, pour les grandes valeurs du parcours dans la cible, la perte d'énergie devient importante et donc non négligeable. Nous avons ainsi calculé la probabilité de diffusion ΔP2 en tenant compte de cet effet .En calculant la correction relative apporté à la probabilité de diffusion, nous avons montré qu'elle dépend inversement à l'énergie incidente et l'angle de diffusion et proportionnellement au numéro atomique de la cible et de distance parcourue.

description: The symmetries of the Lévy-Leblond equation are investigated beyond the standard Lie framework. It is shown that the equation has two remarkable symmetries. One is given by the super Schrödinger algebra and the other one by a $\ZZ$ graded Lie algebra. The $\ZZ$ graded Lie algebra is achieved by transforming bosonic into fermionic operators in the super Schrödinger algebra and introducing second order differential operators as generators of symmetry.

description: We present the first quantitative detection of large-scale filamentary structure at $z \simeq 0.7$ in the large cosmological volume probed by the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS). We use simulations to show the capability of VIPERS to recover robust topological features in the galaxy distribution, in particular the filamentary network. We then investigate how galaxies with different stellar masses and stellar activities are distributed around the filaments and find a significant segregation, with the most massive or quiescent galaxies being closer to the filament axis than less massive or active galaxies. The signal persists even after down-weighting the contribution of peak regions. Our results suggest that massive and quiescent galaxies assemble their stellar mass through successive mergers during their migration along filaments towards the nodes of the cosmic web. On the other hand, low-mass star-forming galaxies prefer the outer edge of filaments, a vorticity rich region dominated by smooth accretion, as predicted by the recent spin alignment theory. This emphasizes the role of large scale cosmic flows in shaping galaxy properties.

Prospects and Challenges to Implement Business Process Reengineering (BPR) in Ethiopian Public Universities
Creators: name: Mekonnen, Naod
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Since educational institutions function similar to other types of business organization, they can use Business Process Reengineering (BPR) to enhance their performances in terms of reducing processes" cost and cycle time, increasing service quality, and increasing customers and employees satisfactions. Likewise, starting from 2008 and 2009, all Ethiopian public universities engaged in BPR project to enhance their performances dramatically. However, the implementation phase of BPR pointed as the most challenging one. Thus, this study intended to identify factors that deemed as challenging factors of BPR implementation. To address study"s objectives, sequential explanatory strategy of mixed methods research design adopted. Specifically, in the first phase of the study, survey was conducted on four public universities. To identify various challenging factors of BPR implementation, forty BPR project redesign and implementation team members in the universities were subjects of the study. In the second phase, after results obtained in the first phase, interviews were held with three interviewees to better understand the magnitudes of challenging factors. The study statistically analyzed the data obtained in the first phase. Then, results obtained in the first phase elicited to get qualitative data and thematically analyzed the qualitative data obtained in the second phase. Results of this mixed method research design in the first phase shows that between 11 to 40 percent of the redesigned processes implemented at universities and to implement the entire processes, the implementation phase believed to take more than three years. Results also identified universities" support processes (administrative) as challenging to implement compare to core processes (academic). Besides, out of the thirty challenging factors included in the survey instrument, more than 50 percent of respondents showed a higher degree of agreement to seventeen factors as the most challenging factors that impeded redesigned processes from being implemented. However, results in the second phase shows that, of the seventeen factors, the magnitudes of nine factors to delay the implementation phase were severe. These include problems originated from change-management factors, top management support factors, organizational factors, and country factors. Generally, this study suggests to take corrective measures by the universities" management body and Ethiopian Ministry of Education before the project completely fail.

Multipole charge conservation and implications on electromagnetic radiation

description: It is shown that conserved charges associated with a specific subclass of gauge symmetries of Maxwell electrodynamics are proportional to the well known electric multipole moments. The symmetries are residual gauge transformations surviving after fixing the Lorenz gauge, and have nontrivial charge. These "Multipole charges" receive contributions both from the charged matter and electromagnetic fields. The former is nothing but the electric multipole moment of the source. In a stationary configuration, there is a novel equipartition relation between the two contributions. The multipole charge, while conserved, can freely interpolate between the source and the electromagnetic field, and therefore can be propagated with the radiation. Using the multipole charge conservation, we obtain infinite number of constraints over the radiation produced by the dynamics of charged matter.

description: We observe that high-Q electromagnetic cavity resonances increase the cyclotron cooling rate of pure electron plasmas held in a Penning-Malmberg trap when the electron cyclotron frequency, controlled by tuning the magnetic field, matches the frequency of standing wave modes in the cavity. For certain modes and trapping configurations, this can increase the cooling rate by factors of ten or more. In this paper, we investigate the variation of the cooling rate and equilibrium plasma temperatures over a wide range of parameters, including the plasma density, plasma position, electron number, and magnetic field.

description: We present an exact mathematical framework able to describe site-percolation transitions in real multiplex networks. Specifically, we consider the average percolation diagram valid over an infinite number of random configurations where nodes are present in the system with given probability. The approach relies on the locally treelike ansatz, so that it is expected to accurately reproduce the true percolation diagram of sparse multiplex networks with negligible number of short loops. The performance of our theory is tested in social, biological, and transportation multiplex graphs. When compared against previously introduced methods, we observe improvements in the prediction of the percolation diagrams in all networks analyzed. Results from our method confirm previous claims about the robustness of real multiplex networks, in the sense that the average connectedness of the system does not exhibit any significant abrupt change as its individual components are randomly destroyed.

Determinants of Non-performing Loans: Empirical Study on Ethiopian Commercial Banks
Creators: name: Tsige, Zelalem
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2013

description: This study examines the bank-specific and macro-economic determinants of Non- performing loans (NPLs) of commercial banks in Ethiopia. The study adopts a mixed methods research approach by combining documentary analysis (structured review of documents) and in-depth interviews. More specifically, the study reviews the financial records of eight commercial banks in Ethiopia and relevant data on macroeconomic factors considered for the period from the year 2000 to 2011. The findings of the study show that, loan growth, financial performance, operational efficiency, effective exchange rate, inflation rate and gross domestic product have negative and statistically significant relationship with banks' NPLs. On the other hand, variables like bank size and state ownership have a positive and statistically significant relationship with banks' NPLs. However, the relationship for average lending rate and income diversification were found to be statistically insignificant. The study suggests that focusing and reengineering the banks alongside the key drivers of NPLs could reduce the probability of loan default in Ethiopian commercial banks

description: We identified voids in the completed VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS), using an algorithm based on searching for empty spheres. We measured the cross-correlation between the centres of voids and the complete galaxy catalogue. The cross-correlation function exhibits a clear anisotropy in both VIPERS fields (W1 and W4), which is characteristic of linear redshift space distortions. By measuring the projected cross-correlation and then deprojecting it we are able to estimate the undistorted cross-correlation function. We propose that given a sufficiently well measured cross-correlation function one should be able to measure the linear growth rate of structure by applying a simple linear Gaussian streaming model for the redshift space distortions (RSD). Our study of voids in 306 mock galaxy catalogues mimicking the VIPERS fields would suggest that VIPERS is capable of measuring $β$ with an error of around $25\%$. Applying our method to the VIPERS data, we find a value for the redshift space distortion parameter, $β= 0.423^{+0.104}_{-0.108}$, which given the bias of the galaxy population we use gives a linear growth rate of $fσ_8 = 0.296^{+0.075}_{-0.078}$ at $z = 0.727$. These results are consistent with values observed in parallel VIPERS analysis using standard techniques.

description: From quantum mechanical first principles only, we rigorously study the time-evolution of a $N$-level atom (impurity) interacting with an external monochromatic light source within an infinite system of free electrons at thermal equilibrium (reservoir). In particular, we establish the relation between the full dynamics of the compound system and the effective dynamics for the $N$-level atom, which is studied in detail in [Bru-de Siqueira Pedra-Westrich, Annales Henri Poincaré, 13(6):1305-1370, 2012]. Together with [Bru-de Siqueira Pedra-Westrich, Annales Henri Poincaré, 13(6):1305-1370, 2012] the present paper yields a purely microscopic theory of optical pumping in laser physics. The model we consider is general enough to describe gauge invariant atom-reservoir interactions.

description: We present a measurement of the charged particle reconstruction inefficiency inside of jet cores, using data collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2015 of $pp$ collisions produced at the LHC, at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The determination of this inefficiency is important for jet energy scale and mass calibration, as well as multiple other performance studies and analyses. A data driven method is used, where the fraction of lost particle tracks is determined from energy deposition $dE/dx$ in the pixel detector. The fraction of lost tracks is found to be less than 5%, which is an improvement since the previous study, and agrees well within systematic uncertainties with a Monte Carlo simulation.

description: 0.5%, 1%, 3% and 5% Ce-concentration single crystals of Tl2LiLuCl6 were grown from the melt using two zone vertical Bridgman technique. X-ray induced emission spectra showed Ce3+ emission between 370 nm and 540 nm wavelength range. Energy resolution, light yield and decay time of the grown samples were measured under γ-ray excitation at room temperature. Energy resolution of 5.6% (FWHM) with 27,000+-2700 light yield is found for 1%Ce doped sample. For the same dopant concentration, three decay time components are also observed. Variation of scintillation properties is observed as a function of dopant concentration in this material.This material will provide excellent detection efficiency for X- and γ-rays due to its high effective Z-number and density. It is expected that this scintillor will be a potential detector for the medical imaging techniques.

description: We use the final data from the VIPERS redshift survey to extract an unparalleled sample of more than 2000 massive M > 10^11 M_sun passive galaxies (MPGs) at redshift 0.5 < z < 1.0, based on their NUVrK colours. This enables us to investigate how the population of these objects was built up over cosmic time. We find that the evolution of the number density depends on the galaxy mean surface stellar mass density, Sigma. In particular, dense (Sigma > 2000 M_sun pc^-2) MPGs show a constant comoving number density over this redshift range, whilst this increases by a factor ~ 4 for the least dense objects, defined as having Sigma < 1000 M_sun pc^-2. We estimate stellar ages for the MPG population both fitting the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) and through the D4000_n index, obtaining results in good agreement. Our findings are consistent with passive ageing of the stellar content of dense MPGs. We show that at any redshift the less dense MPGs are younger than dense ones and that their stellar populations evolve at a slower rate than predicted by passive evolution. This points to a scenario in which the overall population of MPGs was built up over the cosmic time by continuous addition of less dense galaxies: on top of an initial population of dense objects that passively evolves, new, larger, and younger MPGs continuously join the population at later epochs. Finally, we demonstrate that the observed increase in the number density of MPGs is totally accounted for by the observed decrease in the number density of correspondingly massive star forming galaxies (i.e. all the non-passive M > 10^11 M_sun objects). Such systems observed at z ~ 1 in VIPERS, therefore, represent the most plausible progenitors of the subsequent emerging class of larger MPGs.

description: We demonstrate an active carrier-envelope phase (CEP) stabilization scheme for optical waveforms generated by difference-frequency mixing of two spectrally detuned and phase-correlated pulses. By performing ellipsometry with spectrally overlapping parts of two co-propagating near-infrared generation pulse trains, we stabilize their relative timing to 18 as. Consequently, we can lock the CEP of the generated mid-infrared (MIR) pulses with a remaining phase jitter below 30 mrad. To validate this technique, we employ these MIR pulses for high-harmonic generation in a bulk semiconductor. Our compact, low-cost, and inherently drift-free concept could bring long-term CEP stability to the broad class of passively phase-locked OPA and OPCPA systems operating in a wide range of spectral windows, pulse energies, and repetition rates.

Decorated defect condensate, a window to unconventional quantum phase transitions in Weyl semimetals

description: We investigate the unconventional quantum phase transitions in Weyl semimetals. The emergent boson fields, coupling with the Weyl fermion bilinears, contain a Wess-Zumino-Witten term or topological $Θ$ term inherited from the momentum space monopoles carried by Weyl points. Three types of unconventional quantum critical points will be studied in order: (1) The transition between two distinct symmetry breaking phases whose criticality is beyond Landau's paradigm. (2) The transition between a symmetry breaking state to a topological ordered state. (3) The transition between $3d$ topological order phase to trivial disordered phase whose criticality could be traced back to a $Z_2$ symmetry breaking transition in $4d$. The essence of these unconventional critical points lies in the fact that the topological defect of an order parameter carries either a nontrivial quantum number or a topological term so the condensation of the defects would either break some symmetry or give rise to a topological order phase with nontrivial braiding statistics.

description: We have found that the minimum energy configuration of $N=395$ charges confined in a disk and interacting via the Coulomb potential, reported by Cerkaski et al. in Ref.~\cite{Cerkaski15} is not a global minimum of the total electrostatic energy. We have identified a large number of configurations with lower energy, where defects are present close to the center of the disk; thus, the formation of a hexagonal core and valence circular rings for the centered configurations, predicted by the model of Ref.~\cite{Cerkaski15}, is not supported by numerical evidence and the configurations obtained with this model cannot be used as a guide for the numerical calculations, as claimed by the authors.

On the Stability of a General Magnetic Field Topology in Stellar Radiative Zones

description: This paper provides a brief overview of the formation of stellar fossil magnetic fields and what potential instabilities may occur given certain configurations of the magnetic field. In particular, a purely magnetic instability can occur for poloidal, toroidal, and mixed poloidal-toroidal axisymmetric magnetic field configurations as originally studied in Tayler (1973), Markey & Tayler (1973), and Tayler (1980). However, most of the magnetic field configurations observed at the surface of massive stars are non- axisymmetric. Thus, extending earlier studies of the axisymmetric Tayler instability in spherical geometry (Goossens, 1980), we introduce a formulation for the global change in the potential energy contained in a convectively-stable region given an arbitrary Lagrangian perturbation, which permits the inclusion of both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric magnetic fields. With this tool in hand, a path is shown by which more general stability criterion can be established.

description: We present the full public data release (PDR-2) of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS), performed at the ESO VLT. We release redshifts, spectra, CFHTLS magnitudes and ancillary information (as masks and weights) for a complete sample of 86,775 galaxies (plus 4,732 other objects, including stars and serendipitous galaxies); we also include their full photometrically-selected parent catalogue. The sample is magnitude limited to i_AB < 22.5, with an additional colour-colour pre-selection devised as to exclude galaxies at z<0.5. This practically doubles the effective sampling of the VIMOS spectrograph over the range 0.5= 2 are shown to have a confidence level of 96% or larger and make up 88% of all measured galaxy redshifts (76,552 out of 86,775), constituting the VIPERS prime catalogue for statistical investigations. For this sample the rms redshift error, estimated using repeated measurements of about 3,000 galaxies, is found to be sigma_z = 0.00054(1+z). All data are available at http://vipers.inaf.it and on the ESO Archive.

description: Active control of light-matter interactions in semiconductors is critical for realizing next generation optoelectronic devices, with tunable control of the systems optical properties via external fields. The ability to manipulate optical interactions in active materials coupled to cavities via geometrical parameters, which are fixed along with dynamic control with applied fields opens up possibilities of controlling exciton lifetimes, oscillator strengths and their relaxation properties. Here, we demonstrate electrical control of exciton-plasmon polariton coupling strength of a two-dimensional semiconductor integrated with plasmonic nanoresonators assembled in a field-effect transistor device between strong and weak coupling limits by electrostatic doping. As a result, the exciton-plasmon polarion dispersion can be altered dynamically with applied electric field by modulating the excitonic properties of monolayer MoS2 arising from many-body effects with carrier concentration. In addition, strong coupling between charged excitons plasmons was also observed upon increased carrier injection. The ability to dynamically control the optical properties of an ultra-thin semiconductor with plasmonic nanoresonators and electric fields demonstrates the versatility of the coupled system and offers a new platform for the design of optoelectronic devices with precisely tailored responses.

description: In the context of Standard Model Extensions (SMEs), we analyse four general classes of Super Symmetry (SuSy) and Lorentz Symmetry (LoSy) breaking, leading to {observable} imprints at our energy scales. The photon dispersion relations show a non-Maxwellian behaviour for the CPT (Charge-Parity-Time reversal symmetry) odd and even sectors. The group velocities exhibit also a directional dependence with respect to the breaking background vector (odd CPT) or tensor (even CPT). In the former sector, the group velocity may decay following an inverse squared frequency behaviour. Thus, we extract a massive and gauge invariant Carroll-Field-Jackiw photon term in the Lagrangian and show that the mass is proportional to the breaking vector. The latter is estimated by ground measurements and leads to a photon mass upper limit of $10^{-19}$ eV or $2 \times 10^{-55}$ kg and thereby to a potentially measurable delay at low radio frequencies.
