description: Neuronal systems have been modeled by complex networks in different description levels. Recently, it has been verified that networks can simultaneously exhibit one coherent and other incoherent domain, known as chimera states. In this work, we study the existence of chimera states in a network considering the connectivity matrix based on the cat cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex of the cat can be separated in 65 cortical areas organised into the four cognitive regions: visual, auditory, somatosensory-motor and frontolimbic. We consider a network where the local dynamics is given by the Hindmarsh-Rose model. The Hindmarsh-Rose equations are a well known model of neuronal activity that has been considered to simulate membrane potential in neuron. Here, we analyse under which conditions chimera states are present, as well as the affects induced by intensity of coupling on them. We observe the existence of chimera states in that incoherent structure can be composed of desynchronised spikes or desynchronised bursts. Moreover, we find that chimera states with desynchronised bursts are more robust to neuronal noise than with desynchronised spikes.

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of internal marketing on service quality in the Ethiopian banking industry. To investigate such effect, most commonly used dimensions of internal marketing which was communication, motivation; training and job satisfaction have been identified and used within this study. The research is designed as descriptive and explanatory and the research approach followed is quantitative. The target population of the study was employees of the four selected banks i.e. CBE, Awash Bank, CBO and ADB. The data was collection through structured questionnaire. Several analytical techniques were used to assess the relationships among the variables under investigation such as Pearson correlation, multiple regressions. The application used to analyze and examine the hypotheses is the SPSS V20. The findings of this study have shown a significant effect of internal marketing dimensions on service quality at the level of (α ≤ 0.05). The entire IM dimension in this study was positively correlated with service quality. The regression result shows that the adjusted R Square value was .555 and this implied that IM dimensions (predictors) accounts for 55.5% of the variation in service quality which is significant and 44.5% are other extraneous variables that can affect service quality. Only communication, training and job satisfaction are predictors of internal marketing with beta value of .314, .242, and .116 respectively that have positive contribution for the variation in service quality. Therefore, it is recommended for Ethiopian banks to fully implement internal marketing principles to increase service quality as it is one of the competitive advantages banks could have over their competitors' in the industry.

description: We study the nonlinear $E$-mode clustering in Lagrangian space by using large scale structure $N$-body simulations and use the displacement field information in Lagrangian space to recover the primordial linear density field. We find that, compared to Eulerian nonlinear density fields, the $E$-mode displacement fields in Lagrangian space improves the cross-correlation scale $k$ with initial density field by a factor of 6-7, containing two orders of magnitude more primordial information. This illustrates ability of potential density reconstruction algorithms, to improve the baryonic acoustic oscillation measurements from current and future large scale structure surveys.

description: This study searches for neutrino signals from 18 dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) using 10 years of publicly available muon-track data of the IceCube neutrino observatory. We apply an unbinned likelihood analysis on each of these dSphs to derive the significance the putative neutrino emission. To further enhance our sensitivity, we also stack all dSphs together to perform a joint analysis. However, no significant neutrino emission signal was detected in either the single-source or stacking analysis. Based on these null results, we derive constraints on the annihilation cross section of dark matter particles. Compared to the existing literature, our constraints via the channel $χχ\rightarrowμ^+μ^-$ are comparable to the ones from the VERITAS observations of dSphs.

description: Decoding, ie prediction from brain images or signals, calls for empirical evaluation of its predictive power. Such evaluation is achieved via cross-validation, a method also used to tune decoders' hyper-parameters. This paper is a review on cross-validation procedures for decoding in neuroimaging. It includes a didactic overview of the relevant theoretical considerations. Practical aspects are highlighted with an extensive empirical study of the common decoders in within-and across-subject predictions, on multiple datasets --anatomical and functional MRI and MEG-- and simulations. Theory and experiments outline that the popular " leave-one-out " strategy leads to unstable and biased estimates, and a repeated random splits method should be preferred. Experiments outline the large error bars of cross-validation in neuroimaging settings: typical confidence intervals of 10%. Nested cross-validation can tune decoders' parameters while avoiding circularity bias. However we find that it can be more favorable to use sane defaults, in particular for non-sparse decoders.

description: Taking David Sutton’s “theory of cooking as everyday risk” as inspiration, in this thesis I did research with small and medium food entrepreneurs based in the Chicago Metropolitan Area to understand what “making food as certainty” may entail. Risk and Certainty are concepts from David Pye, professor of design that has been taken in prolific discussions about skill and the generation of form. Here, I argue that there are several dimensions of risk along the process of putting a product in the market. However, making and relating to food as certainty is a feature rendered possible through infrastructures of nested relations that involve food entrepreneurs, food scientists, contract manufacturers, standards and many other nodes, that extend their influence up until the domestic environment.

description: A leader’s expressed humility has a favorable influence on subordinates’ job satisfaction, creativity, and performance. However, we know little about how humility affects one’s same-level coworkers. Shifting focus away from leader humility, we suggest that coworker humility can also produce positive effects but has a relationship-specific component. Some co-worker relationships are characterized by greater expression of humility than others. Specifically, we hypothesize that when a coworker expresses a uniquely high degree of humility to another coworker (i.e., relationship-specific humility), that coworker experiences a uniquely high level of psychological safety (i.e., relationship-specific psychological safety), which, in turn, leads that coworker to perform better (i.e., relationship-specific performance). Pilot Study 1 (N = 155, in 32 teams, yielding 823 relationship-specific ratings) showed that humility has a substantial relationship-specific-variance component, even in unacquainted teams. Pilot Study 2, (N = 180, in 39 moderately-acquainted teams, yielding 854 relationship-specific ratings) built on these results in a sample of moderately acquainted teams and showed that relationship-specific humility is associated with relationship-specific perceptions of performance. The Main Study ( N = 133, in 32 well-acquainted work teams, yielding 555 relationship-specific ratings) tested our full model. It showed that the association between relationship-specific humility and relationship-specific performance is mediated by relationship-specific psychological safety. We discuss how our findings advance humility research in the workplace by showing that a portion of humility expression is relationship-specific and results from each employee’s unique interaction with another specific person, and that such relationship-specific humility affects relationship-specific performance.

description: Measuring the impact of advertisement in consumers brand preference is very essential for every marketer. If Advertisement does not create any positive change in consumers' brand preference; all resources such as money, time, and effort spent on advertisement will go in vain. The study aims to explore the impact of advertisement on consumers brand preference in the case of Anchor milk. It followed a deductive form of research approach and the research design was explanatory. Questionnaires were used to collect primary data by using a self-administered data collection system from 384 respondents, out of which 361 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed. These respondents were selected by using a non probability sampling technique, which is Judgment Sampling method. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage) and inferential statistics like correlation and multiple regressions. The finding revealed that there are positive and significant relationships between media used for advertising, source factor, message factor and brand preference of Anchor milk. Eventually, this study recommends appropriate actions for companies in refining their advertising strategies as a means of overcoming the intense competition that exist in the market, therefore, they can increase their sales volume and market share.

description: Identifying potential and druggable targets for developing new drugs is the first major step for curing a disease, which includes the understanding of the cellular, molecular, biochemical complexities associated with a specific disease. The classical hypothesis of ‘one gene, one drug, one disease’ in the drug discovery paradigm may have contributed to the low success rate in drug development. Using AI and related technologies in the target identification process allows scientists and pharmaceutical companies to really explore all the available evidence to better understand a disease and its underlying biology. Our team has focused on target identification, with growing amounts of data supporting early decision making.

The Determinants of Agricultural Technology Adoption and Its' Impact On Teff Productivity in the Case of Amhara and Oromia National Regional State
Creators: name: Etsehiwot, Semreab
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Enhancing the productivity of agriculture sector plays a vital role for country like Ethiopia where reducing poverty and sustaining food security is government's main agenda. In order to enhance the productivity of agriculture sector, Ethiopian government promotes adoption of multiple agriculture technology. However, in most of the rural areas of Ethiopian farmers adopt single and mix of technology rather than adopting all available practices. As a result, understanding the determinant of adoption of multiple agricultural technology and its impacts on productivity is essential to design appropriate policy options for the wider adoption process. Thus, this study analyzes farmer's choice of single and combination choice of agricultural technologies (i.e. improved teff variety, fertilizer and row planting) and evaluates the impact of these technologies on the productivity of teff. The study used EDRIs' teff value chain data which was collected from 1200 households in Amhara and Oromia regions during 2012. Multinomial logit and endogenous switching regression models were employed to achieve the above objectives. The result of endogenus swiching model reveals that adoption of agricultural technologies has a positive and significant impact on productivity of tef. Moreover the result of the study also shows that full technology adopters' are more productive than other alternative technology adopters. According to the multinomial logit result, technology adoption is positively related with sex, education, soil fertility, contact with an extension and DAs' visit. But adoption of agriculture technologies have negative and significant relation with age, distance to main road, distance to the input and out market, parcel ownership and farm size. The study recommends that the government should enhance DAs' and extension service, increase the access of infrastructure, and encourage women by giving especial service like credit access, extension service and community discussion to widespread the adoption of agricultural technologies.

description: We investigate the connection between the full- and flat-sky angular power spectra. First, we revisit this connection established on the geometric and physical grounds, namely that the angular correlations on the sphere and in the plane (flat-sky approximation) correspond to each other in the limiting case of small angles and a distant observer. To establish the formal conditions for this limit, we first resort to a simplified shape of the 3D power spectrum, which allows us to obtain analytic results for both the full- and flat-sky angular power spectra. Using a saddle-point approximation, we find that the flat-sky results are obtained in the limit when the comoving distance and wave modes $\ell$ approach infinity at the same rate. This allows us to obtain an analogous asymptotic expansion of the full-sky angular power spectrum for general 3D power spectrum shapes, including the LCDM Universe. In this way, we find a robust limit of correspondence between the full- and flat-sky results. These results also establish a mathematical relation, i.e., an asymptotic expansion of the ordinary hypergeometric function of a particular choice of arguments that physically corresponds to the flat-sky approximation of a distant observer. This asymptotic form of the ordinary hypergeometric function is obtained in two ways: relying on our saddle-point approximation and using some of the known properties of the hypergeometric function.

description: The study aimed to empirically investigate the effect of brand equity on customer preference in the case of Ethiopian Airlines within Addis Ababa. This study attempt to address research questions or problems that the central issue of airlines industry is the issue of building its brand awareness, brand association, brand loyalty and perceived quality. It adopts quantitative method, descriptive and explanatory research design to answer the research questions. Accordingly 340 close ended questionnaires were distributed to customers of Ethiopian Airlines who in Addis Ababa through systematic sampling technique and distributed questioner using convenient sampling technique. Out of this, 323 questioners were used for analysis. The questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Pearson Correlation were used to establish the relationship between the independent and dependent constructs of the research. The findings revealed that the four independent variables (i.e. Brand awareness, perceived Quality Brand loyalty, Brand Association) are statistically important determinants of customer preference in the Airlines industry. A conclusion was drawn to the effect that since factor influencing customer preference have been established, airlines should note these and emphasize them in their marketing strategy.

Micro-Deval

description: Numerous tests exist in the field of aggregate qualification which have little to no relation to field performance. Many aggregate sources have been restricted in their use due to non-conforming results from a test that has little relation to field performance. Many aggregates have also been used in projects because of acceptable test results but have resulted in premature and costly repairs. The aggregate industry needs a test that better correlates test results to field performance. Micro-Deval has shown potential as a good indicator for field performance. The micro-Deval wet abrasion test for coarse aggregate is studied to determine the ability of the test to predict field performance for various uses and mineralogical backgrounds when used in combination with other aggregate tests. Forty-two aggregates were obtained from across the United States and Canada with varying field performance ratings, uses, and mineralogy. General correlations are developed between the micro-Deval test and other laboratory tests as well as determining the ability of the micro-Deval test to predict field performance when used in combination with other laboratory tests

description: We have extended previously published sets of simple sequence repeat markers for Synchytrium endobioticum, selected to be polymorphic for the German-standard isolates of pathotypes P1, P2, P6, P8, and P18. These markers also complement the extensive published information on DNA polymorphisms for the mitogenomes of Synchytrium endobioticum. This extended set of 35 markers representing 73 alleles differentiated 51 isolates from Europe and North America into three large, well-separated clusters and subclusters using dendrogram analysis, principal coordinates analysis (PCoA), and population substructure analysis using STRUCTURE 2.3.4 software. This suggests a limited number of introgressions of the wart disease pathogen into current potato growing areas, followed by recombination and admixture of populations through human activities. The new markers extend the published marker sets and are useful tools for future analyses of population structure and dynamics in Synchytrium endobioticum, which are necessary to understand the biology of the interaction between the pathogen and its potato host and to develop future control strategies.

description: We show the effects of a triangle singularity mechanism for the $γp \to K^+Λ(1405)$ reaction. The mechanism has a $N^*$ resonance around 2030 MeV, which decays into $K^* Σ$. The $K^*$ decays to $K^+ π$, and the $πΣ$ merge to form the $Λ(1405)$. This mechanism produces a peak around $\sqrt{s} = 2110$ MeV, and has its largest contribution around cos$θ=0$. The addition of this mechanism to other conventional ones, leads to a good reproduction of ${\rm d}σ/{\rm dcos}θ$ and the integrated cross section around this energy, providing a solution to a problem encountered in previous theoretical models.

description: We consider observational limits on a proposed model of the string landscape in inflation. In this scenario, effects from the decoherence of entangled quantum states in long-wavelength modes in the universe result in modifications to the Friedmann Equation and a corresponding modification to inflationary dynamics. Previous work by Holman, Mersini-Houghton, and Takahashi suggested that such effects could provide an explanation for well-known anomalies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), such as the lack of power on large scales and the "cold spot" seen by both the WMAP and Planck satellites. In this paper, we compute limits on these entanglement effects from the Planck CMB data combined with the BICEP/Keck polarization measurement, and find no evidence for observable modulations to the power spectrum from landscape entanglement, and no sourcing of observable CMB anomalies. The originally proposed model with an exponential potential is ruled out to high significance. Assuming a Starobinsky-type $R^2$ inflation model, which is consistent with CMB constraints, data place a $2σ$ lower bound of $b > 6.46 \times 10^7\ {\rm GeV}$ on the Supersymmetry breaking scale associated with entanglement corrections.

Wild bird trade
Spatial patterns

description: Governments and international organizations have attempted to develop preemptive regulatory regimes that prevent overexploitation in the wild bird trade. Most trade regulation focuses on international borders, but managing sub-national trade is one of the greatest challenges in wild bird trade regulation. Sub-national regulation will greatly benefit from a better understanding of how the trade works and what influences it. This thesis examines the structure and spatial pattern of the wild bird trade within Guyana in an attempt to offer insight into how different factors impact patterns in harvesting pressure. Based on market value, it analyzes how selective the harvest becomes as the distance from regional markets and the capital increases. In addition, it examines the associated cost of transportation for both the trapper and the trader

description: The nature and evolution of high-redshift dusty star-forming galaxies (high-z DSFGs) remain an open question. Their massive gas reservoirs play an important role in driving the intense star-formation rates hosted in these galaxies. We aim to estimate the molecular gas content of high-z DSFGs by using various gas mass tracers such as the [CI], CO, [CII] emission lines and the dust content. These tracers need to be well calibrated as they are all limited by uncertainties on factors such as aCO, XCI, aCII and GDR, thereby affecting the determination of the gas mass accurately. The main goal of our work is to check the consistency between the gas mass tracers and cross-calibrate the uncertain factors. We observe the two [CI] line transitions for 29 SPT-SMGs with the ALMA-ACA. Additionally, we also present new APEX observations of [CII] line for 9 of these galaxies. We find a nearly linear relation between the infrared luminosity and [CI] luminosity if we fit the starbursts and main-sequence galaxies separately. We measure a median [CI]-derived excitation temperature of 34.5+/-2.1 K. We probe the properties of the interstellar medium (ISM) such as density and radiation field intensity using [CI] to mid- or high-J CO lines and [CI] to infrared luminosity ratio, and find similar values to the SMG populations in literature. Finally, the gas masses estimated from [CI], CO, dust, and [CII] do not exhibit any significant trend with the infrared luminosity or the dust temperature. We provide the various cross-calibrations between these tracers. Our study confirms that [CI] is a suitable tracer of the molecular gas content, and shows an overall agreement between all the classical gas tracers used at high redshift. However, their absolute calibration and thus the gas depletion timescale measurements remain uncertain.

description: This thesis reports results of an experimental study of various parameters that affect the performance of railplugs. Their performance was quantified by the distance that the arc traveled along the rails from the initiation point. Travel along the rails is thought to be an important performance metric because rail-travel limits excessive local wear and produces a distributed ignition source which can potentially reduce mixture inhomogeneity induced ignition problems. Parameters considered included rail shape, rail divergence angle, initiation gap distance, electrical polarity, the extent to which the rails were enclosed, components in the circuit, external magnetic field, and delivered energy. The cross-sectional shape was found to be important to arc travel. Smaller rail divergence angles tended to enhance arc travel. Arc travel distance decreases with increasing pressure. Arc travel was shorter for fully enclosed railplugs then for an unenclosed plug; however, a partially enclosed designed showed promise

description: When passing an optical medium in the presence of a magnetic field, the polarization of light can be rotated either when reflected at the surface (Kerr effect) or when transmitted through the material (Faraday rotation). This phenomenon is a direct consequence of the optical Hall effect arising from the light-charge carrier interaction in solid state systems subjected to an external magnetic field, in analogy with the conventional Hall effect. The optical Hall effect has been explored in many thin films and also more recently in 2D layered materials. Here, an alternative approach based on strain engineering is proposed to achieve an optical Hall conductivity in graphene without magnetic field. Indeed, strain induces lattice symmetry breaking and hence can result in a finite optical Hall conductivity. First-principles calculations also predict this strain-induced optical Hall effect in other 2D materials. Combining with the possibility of tuning the light energy and polarization, the strain amplitude and direction, and the nature of the optical medium, large ranges of positive and negative optical Hall conductivities are predicted, thus opening the way to use these atomistic thin materials in novel specific opto-electro-mechanical devices.

Year: 2017

description: This research paper was conducted to examine the effect of internal marketing on employees' customer orientation in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. To investigate such effect, most commonly used dimensions of internal marketing which were training and development, communication and motivation have been identified and used within this study. The target population of the study was employees of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia assigned in the area where there is a direct contact with customers. The data collection through questionnaire resulted from 317 feedbacks received from employees' of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. Statistical Package for social studies (SPSS) version 20 was used for analysis. In addition to correlation analysis, further regression analysis was conducted to examine the effect of internal marketing on employees' customer orientation. The result indicates that all selected dimensions of internal marketing have significant effect on employees' customer orientation. Therefore, Commercial Bank of Ethiopia is recommended to fully implement internal marketing principles to increase employees' customer orientation behavior as it is one of the competitive advantages of an organization to remain competitive in such dynamic, ambiguous and turbulent business environment.
Ultrahigh electrostrain > 1% in lead-free piezoceramics: A critical review

description: Recently, a series of reports showing ultra-high electrostrain (> 1 %) have appeared in several Pb-free piezoceramics. The ultrahigh electrostrain has been attributed exclusively to the defect dipoles created in these systems. We examine these claims based on another report arXiv:2208.07134 which demonstrated that the measured electric field driven strain increased dramatically simply by reducing the thickness of the ceramic discs. We prepared some representative Pb-free compositions reported to exhibit ultrahigh strain and performed electrostrain measurements. We found that these compositions do not show ultrahigh electrostrain if the thickness of the discs is above 0.3 mm (the disc diameters were in the range 10- 12 mm diameter). The ultrahigh strain values were obtained when the thickness was below 0.3 mm. We compare the electrostrain obtained from specimens designed to exhibit defect dipoles with specimens that were not designed to have defect dipoles in Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 (NBT) and K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) -based lead-free systems and could obtain much higher strain levels (4- 5 %) in the defect dipole free piezoceramics in the small thickness regime. Our results do not favor the defect dipole theory as the exclusive factor for causing ultrahigh strain in piezoceramics. A new approach is called for to understand the phenomenon of ultrahigh electrostrain caused by the thickness reduction of piezoceramic discs.

description: The energy density and the pressure of SU(3) gauge theory at finite temperature are studied by direct lattice measurements of the renormalized energy-momentum tensor obtained by the gradient flow. Numerical analyses are carried out with $β=6.287$--$7.500$ corresponding to the lattice spacing $a= 0.013$--$0.061\,\mathrm{fm}$. The spatial (temporal) sizes are chosen to be $N_s= 64$, $96$, $128$ ($N_τ=12$, $16$, $20$, $22$, $24$) with the aspect ratio, $5.33 \le N_s/N_τ \le 8$. Double extrapolation, $a\rightarrow 0$ (the continuum limit) followed by $t\rightarrow 0$ (the zero flow-time limit), is taken using the numerical data. Above the critical temperature, the thermodynamic quantities are obtained with a few percent precision including statistical and systematic errors. The results are in good agreement with previous high-precision data obtained by using the integral method.
