description: Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and Ophiophagus hannah L-amino acid oxidase (Oh-LAAO) have been reported to exhibit antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Published data have indicated that synergistic antibacterial effects could be achieved by co-administration of two or more antimicrobial agents. However, this hypothesis has not been proven in a cell and protein based combination. In this study, we investigate if co-administration of MSCs and Oh-LAAO into a mouse model of MRSA infected wounds would be able to result in a synergistic antibacterial effect. MSCs and Oh-LAAO were isolated and characterized by standard methodologies. The effect of the co-administration was evaluated with a C57/BL6 mouse model of MRSA infected full-thickness wound. Individual treatments with MSCs and Oh-LAAO in the infected model resulted in reduction of MRSA load by one order in magnitude compared to untreated controls. Similar wound healing and improvements in histological parameters were observed between the two groups. Co-administration of MSCs and Oh-LAAO reduced bacterial burden by two orders in magnitude. Wound closure measurements and histology analysis of biopsies obtained from the combinational therapy group indicated significant enhancement in the wound healing process compared to all other groups. We demonstrated that co-administration of MSCs and Oh-LAAO into a mouse model of MRSA infected wounds exhibited a synergistic antibacterial effect which significantly reduced the bacterial count and accelerate the wound healing process.

description: Industrial activities in business pose serious and tangible threats to both the wellbeing of society and the environment. Negative consequences of activities on environment and society, referred to as negative externalities, can increase in both magnitude and frequency in the face of a growing global economy. The risk of increased negative externalities warrants the need to adequately manage organizational activities top reserve both environmental and social capital. This research aimed to find out the critical success factors for ISO 14001 EMS implementation among liquor companies in Ethiopia from the Resource based view. A crosssectional approach using survey was conducted. A research model been proposed which comprises of ISO 14001 EMS implementation as the criterion variable while physical capital resources (i.e. environmental performance tracking and organizational infrastructures), human capital resources (i.e. top management commitment and support, training and education, employee empowerment and teamwork) and organizational capital resources (i.e. recognition and reward, organizational culture and organizational communication) as the explanatory variables. The research findings show that only environmental performance tracking, top management commitment and support and organizational culture are found to be positively and significantly associated with ISO 14001 EMS implementation.

Critical Points for Elliptic Equations with Prescribed Boundary Conditions

description: This paper concerns the existence of critical points for solutions to second order elliptic equations of the form $\nabla\cdot σ(x)\nabla u=0$ posed on a bounded domain $X$ with prescribed boundary conditions. In spatial dimension $n=2$, it is known that the number of critical points (where $\nabla u=0$) is related to the number of oscillations of the boundary condition independently of the (positive) coefficient $σ$. We show that the situation is different in dimension $n\geq3$. More precisely, we obtain that for any fixed (Dirichlet or Neumann) boundary condition for $u$ on $\partial X$, there exists an open set of smooth coefficients $σ(x)$ such that $\nabla u$ vanishes at least at one point in $X$. By using estimates related to the Laplacian with mixed boundary conditions, the result is first obtained for a piecewise constant conductivity with infinite contrast, a problem of independent interest. A second step shows that the topology of the vector field $\nabla u$ on a subdomain is not modified for appropriate bounded, sufficiently high-contrast, smooth coefficients $σ(x)$. These results find applications in the class of hybrid inverse problems, where optimal stability estimates for parameter reconstruction are obtained in the absence of critical points. Our results show that for any (finite number of) prescribed boundary conditions, there are coefficients $σ(x)$ for which the stability of the reconstructions will inevitably degrade.

description: The task of device independent secure key distribution requires preparation and subsequently distribution of nonlocal resources. For secured practical implementation, one needs to take two initially uncorrelated quantum systems and perform a unitary on the composite system to generate the nonlocal resource, which is supposed to violate a Bell inequality (say, Bell-CHSH). States which do not violate Bell-CHSH inequality, but violate it when transformed by a global unitary, can be deemed useful for the preparation of nonlocal resource. One may then start from a state which is Bell-CHSH local (take for example, a pure product state) and apply an appropriate global unitary on it which results in a Bell-CHSH non-local state. However, an intriguing fact is the existence of useless states from which no Bell-CHSH non-local resource can be generated with a global unitary. This is due to the purity preserving nature of unitary operators which bound the amount of correlation in the set of final states depending on the purity of the initial (possibly uncorrelated) states. The present work confirms the existence of such a set, pertaining to two qubit systems. The set exhibits counter intuitive features by containing within it some entangled states which remain Bell-CHSH local on the action of any unitary. From practical perspective, this work draws a line between useful and useless states for the task of preparing nonlocal resource using global unitary transformations. Furthermore through an analytic characterization of the set we lay down a generic prescription through which one can operationally identify the useful states. It has also been shown that our prescription remains valid for any linear Bell inequality.

description: In this work, efficient hybrid adsorbents were developed through surface modification of commercial activated carbon with magnetic iron nanoparticles (Fe3O4). These modified adsorbents were characterised for their texture, morphology, and other surface properties and investigated for sulphur removal from model fuel consisting of thiophene (T), benzothiophene (BT), and dibenzothiophene (DBT) in liquid phase using hexane as a solvent. The effect of temperature and contact time was studied to understand the thermodynamics and kinetics of the adsorption process, and experimental adsorption data were interpreted using standard isotherms such as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin model. The findings showed that the iron-loaded activated carbon could effectively remove the DBT (a representative sulphur compound) much better than the precursor nascent carbons in single and multicomponent models fuels under the optimised dosage of 30 g.L−1 and operating temperature of ~ 40°C. The kinetic analysis revealed that the pseudo-second-order model could represent the surface binding mechanism of DBT. The rate-limiting step, as indicated by the Weber-Morris plot, involved several steps. It was observed that the adsorption potential of the prepared materials increased with the increasing initial DBT concentration, exhibiting a maximum capacity of 29 mg.g−1, and the adsorption process was well described by the Freundlich isotherm (R2 = 0.95 to 0.99). Fe@AC-2 also demonstrated their ability to satisfactorily remove T, BT, and DBT from multi-component model fuel systems with higher selectivity for the more refractory DBT. Thermal regeneration of Fe@AC-2 saturated with DBT at 350°C could be recycled till the fourth cycle, and loss in adsorbent mass was observed in each cycle. Analysis of real diesel fuel pre- and post-adsorption with Fe@AC-2 showed a negligible change in the gross calorific value, density, and kinematic viscosity of the treated diesel from the untreated diesel.

description: The natural bentonite has small specific surface area and cation exchange capacity. As a result, the focus of this research was directed towards the modification of the surface properties of bentonite to maximize its adsorption capacity. To achieve this aim, the research study was carried out by two stages; (1) Thermal modification of Ethiopian bentonite and (2) characterization, adsorption performance evaluation and kinetics study of the modified Ethiopian bentonite for removal of Zn(II). Characterization of both the raw and thermally modified bentonite clay for specific surface area and cation exchange capacity, surface functional groups, crystallinity and differential thermal analysis were studied using Methylene blue test, FTIR, XRD, DSC respectively. The surface area was increased from 147.1 m2/g to 310.2 m2/g as modification temperature increases from 300oC to 500oC. The results obtained from x-ray diffraction showed that the mineral is composed of montmorillonite and other impurities such as quartz, feldspar, muscovite, cristobalite and hematite. The thermal stability of the bentonite was studied using differential scanning calorimetry and from the result, it was confirmed that thermally stable up to 500 ℃. The effect of time, initial Zn(II) concentration and adsorbent dosage were experimentally studied using RSM. The results revealed that the amount of adsorption of Zn(II) increases with increasing contact time and adsorbent dosage and decreasing with increasing Zn(II) concentration. The optimum design parameters were recorded 75mg/l, 60min and1g and the percentage removal at those conditions was 99.54%. The results revealed that Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second-order kinetics provided better fits of the data. Therefore, the modified bentonite provides the large surface area and adsorption capacity and can be successfully employed for the removal of Zn(II) from wastewater.

description: It is widely accepted that revascularisation guided by functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis is superior to anatomical assessment by coronary angiography alone. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is now the established ‘gold standard’ for functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis. However, routine invasive coronary angiography and fractional flow reserve evaluation for all patients with chest pain is not feasible or economically viable. Therefore, it would be ideal if there is a non-invasive modality that can provide both anatomical and functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis. In this thesis, the utility of cardiac computed tomography for not only anatomical but also functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis was assessed. We confirmed that CT coronary angiography (CTA) has excellent sensitivity and negative predictive value but lacks specificity and positive predictive value. Meanwhile novel adjunct CT methods such as transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG320) and adenosine stress CT perfusion (CTP) have modest accuracy for predicting significant FFR. More importantly, when TAG320 and CTP are combined with CTA, there is incremental predictive value for predicting significant FFR. Some recent studies have highlighted the poor correlation between diameter stenosis on invasive coronary angiography and FFR. With this in mind, we evaluated adjunct predictors that improved the diagnostic accuracy of invasive coronary angiography for significant FFR. We showed that diameter stenosis alone on invasive coronary angiography has poor diagnostic accuracy for functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis. However, when lesion length and area of myocardium subtended by coronary stenosis is added to diameter stenosis (DILEMMA score), there is improvement in diagnostic accuracy.

description: Facilitating the coexistence of radar systems with communication systems has been a major area of research in radar engineering. The current work presents a new way to sense the environment using the channel equalization block of existing communication systems. We have named this system CommSense. In the current paper we demonstrate the feasibility of the system using Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) signals. The implementation has been done using open-source Software Defined Radio (SDR) environment. In the preliminary results obtained in our work we show that it is possible to distinguish environmental changes using the proposed system. The major advantage of the system is that it is inexpensive as channel estimation is an inherent block in any communication system and hence the added cost to make it work as an environment sensor is minimal. The major challenge, on which we are continuing our work, is how to characterize the features in the environmental changes. This is an acute challenge given the fact that the bandwidth available is narrow and the system is inherently a forward looking radar. However the initial results, as shown in this paper, are encouraging and we intend to use an application specific instrumentation (ASIN) scheme to distinguish the environmental changes.

description: Deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly applied in safety-critical domains, such as self-driving cars, unmanned aircraft, and medical diagnosis. It is of fundamental importance to certify the safety of these DNNs, i.e. that they comply with a formal safety specification. While safety certification tools exactly answer this question, they are of no help in debugging unsafe DNNs, requiring the developer to iteratively verify and modify the DNN until safety is eventually achieved. Hence, a repair technique needs to be developed that can produce a safe DNN automatically. To address this need, we present SpecRepair, a tool that efficiently eliminates counter-examples from a DNN and produces a provably safe DNN without harming its classification accuracy. SpecRepair combines specification-based counter-example search and resumes training of the DNN, penalizing counter-examples and certifying the resulting DNN. We evaluate SpecRepair's effectiveness on the ACAS Xu benchmark, a DNN-based controller for unmanned aircraft, and two image classification benchmarks. The results show that SpecRepair is more successful in producing safe DNNs than comparable methods, has a shorter runtime, and produces safe DNNs while preserving their classification accuracy.

description: Collective motion in biology is often modelled as a dynamical system, in which individuals are represented as particles whose interactions are determined by the current state of the system. Many animals, however, including humans, have predictive capabilities, and presumably base their behavioural decisions---at least partially---upon an anticipated state of their environment. We explore a minimal version of this idea in the context of particles that interact according to a pairwise potential. Anticipation enters the picture by calculating the interparticle forces from linear extrapolations of the particle positions some time $τ$ into the future. Simulations show that for intermediate values of $τ$, compared to a transient time scale defined by the potential and the initial conditions, the particles form rotating clusters in which the particles are arranged in a hexagonal pattern. Analysis of the system shows that anticipation induces energy dissipation and we show that the kinetic energy asymptotically decays as $1/t$. Furthermore, we show that the angular momentum is not necessarily conserved for $τ>0$, and that asymmetries in the initial condition therefore can cause rotational movement. These results suggest that anticipation could play an important role in collective behaviour, since it induces pattern formation and stabilises the dynamics of the system.

description: We study the cosmological power spectra (PS) of the differential and integral galaxy volume number densities $γ_i$ and $γ_i^{*}$, constructed with the cosmological distances $d_i$ $(i=A,G,L,Z)$, where $d_A$ is the angular diameter distance, $d_G$ is the galaxy area distance, $d_L$ is the luminosity distance and $d_z$ is the redshift distance. Theoretical and observational quantities were obtained in the FLRW spacetime with a non-vanishing $Λ$. The radial correlation $Ξ_i$, as defined in the context of these densities, is discussed in the wave number domain. All observational quantities were computed using luminosity function (LF) data obtained from the FORS Deep Field galaxy survey. The theoretical and observational PS of $γ_i$, $γ_i^{\ast}$, $Ξ_i$ and $γ_i / γ_i^\ast$ were calculated by performing Fourier transforms on these densities previously derived by Iribarrem et al. (2012) from the observed values $γ_{obs}$ and ${γ^\ast}_{obs}$ obtained using the galactic absolute magnitudes and galaxy LF Schechter's parameters presented in Gabasch et al. (2004, 2006) in the range $0.5 \le z \le5.0$. The results show similar behavior of the PS obtained from $γ$ and $γ^{\ast}$ using $d_L$, $d_z$ and $d_G$ as distance measures. The PS of the densities defined with $d_A$ have a different and inconclusive behavior, as this cosmological distance reaches a maximum at $z\approx 1.6$ in the adopted cosmology. For the other distances, our results suggest that the PS of ${γ_i}_{obs}$, ${γ^\ast_i}_{obs}$ and ${γ_i / γ^{\ast}_i}_{obs}$ have a general behavior approximately similar to the PS obtained with the galaxy two-point correlation function and, by being sample size independent, they may be considered as alternative analytical tools to study the galaxy distribution.

description: We introduce a rigorous approach to the many-body spectral theory of extended anyons, i.e. quantum particles confined to two dimensions that interact via attached magnetic fluxes of finite extent. Our main results are many-body magnetic Hardy inequalities and local exclusion principles for these particles, leading to estimates for the ground-state energy of the anyon gas over the full range of the parameters. This brings out further non-trivial aspects in the dependence on the anyonic statistics parameter, and also gives improvements in the ideal (non-extended) case.

description: The dual-fermion approach provides a formally exact prescription for calculating properties of a correlated electron system in terms of a diagrammatic expansion around dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Most practical implementations, however, neglect higher-order interaction vertices beyond two-particle scattering in the dual effective action and further truncate the diagrammatic expansion in the two-particle scattering vertex to a leading-order or ladder-type approximation. In this work we compute the dual-fermion expansion for the two-dimensional Hubbard model including all diagram topologies with two-particle interactions to high orders by means of a stochastic diagrammatic Monte Carlo algorithm. We benchmark the obtained self-energy against numerically exact Diagrammatic Determinant Monte Carlo simulations to systematically assess convergence of the dual-fermion series and the validity of these approximations. We observe that, from high temperatures down to the vicinity of the DMFT Néel transition, the dual-fermion series converges very quickly to the exact solution in the whole range of Hubbard interactions considered ($4 \leq U/t \leq 12$), implying that contributions from higher-order vertices are small. As the temperature is lowered further, we observe slower series convergence, convergence to incorrect solutions, and ultimately divergence. This happens in a regime where magnetic correlations become significant. We find however that the self-consistent particle-hole ladder approximation yields reasonable and often even highly accurate results in this regime.

Assessment Of Project Procurement Management Practice In Ethio Telecom
Creators: name: Dagnachew, Kidist

description: Project procurement management is among the ten knowledge areas that a project manager must be familiar with for a successful implementation of a project work. Depending upon the specific type of project being managed, over 50 percent of the total project cost can be attributed to parts, supplies and services procured. For many high-technology projects, this procurement fraction can approach 90 percent. Most of the world telecom operators upgrade their procurement capabilities to achieve best suppliers relation, to bring improved risk management, and to enhance fast growth opportunities. Hence, this study is targeted to assess project procurement practice of Ethio Telecom by addressing the process undergone namely: Procurement planning, Solicitation Planning, Solicitation, Source Selection, Contract Administration and Contract Closeout. The primary data was collected from a total of 60 respondents from a total population of 198 out of which 15 was approached for answering questions related to planning procurement process and the rest 45 are approached for answering the remaining process which are selected using nonprobability purposive sampling and the collected data analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Then the data presented quantitatively using descriptive statistics with the help of table, frequency and percentage. Semi-structured interview was also conducted with the 5 project managers and 4 Contract Management Program Managers, and analyzed qualitatively by integrating secondary data obtained from the company policy and procedure documents, project management working manual, reports, process templates and magazines. Accordingly, the finding of the study reveals the company fail to provide training related to project and project procurement, fail to arrange pre-proposal visit, not considering suppliers risk management issue as evaluation criteria, week monitoring system for products arrived at the project site and not gathering suppliers' performance status report from concerned stakeholders. Thus, a recommendation has been made under this study on what actions should be taken in order to improve project procurement management practice of Ethio Telecom.

description: So far, many network-structure-based link prediction methods have been proposed. However, these methods only highlight one or two structural features of networks, and then use the methods to predict missing links in different networks. The performances of these existing methods are not always satisfied in all cases since each network has its unique underlying structural features. In this paper, by analyzing different real networks, we find that the structural features of different networks are remarkably different. In particular, even in the same network, their inner structural features are utterly different. Therefore, more structural features should be considered. However, owing to the remarkably different structural features, the contributions of different features are hard to be given in advance. Inspired by these facts, an \emph{adaptive} fusion model regarding link prediction is proposed to incorporate multiple structural features. In the model, a logistic function combing multiple structural features is defined, then the weight of each feature in the logistic function is \emph{adaptively} determined by exploiting the known structure information. Last, we use the "learnt" logistic function to predict the connection probabilities of missing links. According to our experimental results, we find that the performance of our adaptive fusion model is better than many similarity indices.

Targeting the molecular mechanisms of axonal degeneration, demyelination and remyelination in multiple sclerosis

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative condition that can lead to life-long disability in the predominantly female population of less than 40 years of age. In contrast to the original focus of research on the autoimmune mechanisms that are operative in MS, there is now clear evidence that axonal damage/loss is the major arbiter of profound neurological deficit in MS sufferers. This thesis aimed to investigate the neuroprotective mechanism in MS by (i)identifying the potential molecular targets that govern axonal damage, (ii) devising experimental methods to directly protect axons during neuroinflammation and (iii) investigating therapeutic strategies for the re-formation of the myelin sheath (remyelination) to protect axons from secondary damage upon demyelination.

description: We discuss the influence on spin-fluctuation pairing theory of orbital selective strong correlation effects in Fe-based superconductors, particularly Fe chalcogenide systems. We propose that a key ingredient for an improved itinerant pairing theory is orbital selectivity, i.e., incorporating the reduced coherence of quasiparticles occupying specific orbital states. This modifies the usual spin-fluctuation via suppression of pair scattering processes involving those less coherent states and results in orbital selective Cooper pairing of electrons in the remaining states. We show that this paradigm yields remarkably good agreement with the experimentally observed anisotropic gap structures in both bulk and monolayer FeSe, as well as LiFeAs, indicating that orbital selective Cooper pairing plays a key role in the more strongly correlated iron-based superconductors.

description: We investigate the nonnegative solutions to the nonlinear integral inequality $u \ge I_α\ast\big((I_β\ast u^p)u^q\big)$ a.e. in $\mathbb{R}^N$, where $α, β\in (0,N)$, $p, q>0$ and $I_α$, $I_β$ denote the Riesz potentials of order $α$ and $β$ respectively. Our approach relies on a nonlocal positivity principle which allows us to derive optimal ranges for the parameters $α$, $β$, $p$ and $q$ to describe the existence and the nonexistence of a solution. The optimal decay at infinity for such solutions is also discussed.

The assessment of arrhythmic risk and arrhythmic substrate in patients with a manifest or concealed accessory pathway

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The thesis presents the arrhythmic risk as part of the natural history in asymptomatic patients with a manifest atrio-ventricular accessory pathway (i.e., Wolff-Parkinson-White electrocardiogram pattern) highlighting the ongoing controversy pertaining to the invasive electrophysiological management of these asymptomatic patients. The thesis argues against population screening or routine invasive testing with a view to catheter ablation based on the meta-analysis research presented which demonstrates the low mortality/morbidity rates in asymptomatic patients. The presented low mortality and morbidity along with the potential for harm by screening and subsequent testing, low sensitivity and specificity of risk stratifiers, practicality, cost-effectiveness and the potential for complications from electrophysiology study and ablation and even mortality that can mitigate benefit if undertaken routinely population wide is elaborated to justify current clinical practice and clinical guidelines. Additionally the thesis presents novel intra-cardiac electrophysiological measures for arrhythmic substrate assessment in patients with a suspected concealed septal atrio-ventricular accessory pathway. The widely utilized intra-cardiac pacing maneuver, the para-Hisian pacing maneuver is investigated demonstrating short stimulus-to-atrial intervals to reliably indicate inadvertent atrial capture to avoid technical and interpretative pitfalls. A critical change of stimulus-to- atrial interval using a small catheter adjustment to deliberately lose and obtain atrial capture reliably ensures that inadvertent atrial capture can be identified to avoid interpretative pitfalls. Additionally to overcome the limitation of requiring sustained supra-ventricular tachycardia for the utility of the widely used post entrainment measures, the first tachycardia cycle after supra-ventricular tachycardia induction with right ventricular extra stimulation is demonstrated to yield comparable information to entrainment, precluding the need for sustained supra-ventricular tachycardia, providing a unique maneuver and measures that both diagnose the supra-ventricular tachycardia substrate and mechanism when tachycardia is not sustained.
