description: Scorpius X-1 (Sco X-1) and X-ray transient (XTE) J1751-305 are Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) that may emit continuous gravitational waves detectable in the band of ground-based interferometric observatories. Neutron stars in LMXBs could reach a torque-balance steady-state equilibrium in which angular momentum addition from infalling matter from the binary companion is balanced by angular momentum loss, conceivably due to gravitational-wave emission. Torque-balance predicts a scale for detectable gravitational-wave strain based on observed X-ray flux. This paper describes a search for Sco X-1 and XTE J1751-305 in LIGO Science Run 6 data using the TwoSpect algorithm, based on searching for orbital modulations in the frequency domain. While no detections are claimed, upper limits on continuous gravitational-wave emission from Sco X-1 are obtained, spanning gravitational-wave frequencies from 40 to 2040 Hz and projected semi-major axes from 0.90 to 1.98 light-seconds. These upper limits are injection validated, equal any previous set in initial LIGO data, and extend over a broader parameter range. At optimal strain sensitivity, achieved at 165 Hz, the 95% confidence level random-polarization upper limit on dimensionless strain $h_0$ is approximately $1.8 \times 10^{-24}$. Closest approach to the torque-balance limit, within a factor of 27, is also at 165 Hz. These are the first upper limits known to date on $r$-mode emission from this XTE source. Upper limits are set in particular narrow frequency bands of interest for J1751-305. The TwoSpect method will be used in upcoming searches of Advanced LIGO and Virgo data.

description: Regarding the role of nicotine in the development of cardiovascular complications of smoking, we investigated whether black tea has a modulatory effect on cardiovascular pathogenesis of nicotine in rat. Animals were randomized to control, tea, nicotine and tea plus nicotine groups. Test groups received black tea brewed (adding 400 ml boiling water to 10 g Lipton black tea for 5 min) orally alone or with nicotine 2 mg/kg/day, s.c. separately or combined for four weeks. On 28th day, lipids profile of blood and also malondialdehyde (MDA) level, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of heart tissue were measured. Nicotine administration caused a significant increase in total cholesterol, TG and HDL-C and also atherogenic index of plasma (log TG/HDL-C). Moreover, nicotine increased MDA level of heart. Black tea alone increased the antioxidant capacity of heart tissue without significant effect on lipid profile and MDA levels. Concomitant use of black tea and nicotine significantly attenuated the hyperlipidemic and atherogenic effects of nicotine but was unable to attenuate the MDA. Our findings suggest that black tea consumption reduces hyperlipidemia and atherogenesis as two cardiovascular risk factors and complications of nicotine, in rat. If these results can be extrapolated to human, smokers who daily drink black tea may be less at risk of cardiovascular disease.

description: Nanoparticles functionalized with multiple ligands can be programmed to bind biological targets depending on the receptors they express, providing a general mechanism exploited in various technologies, from selective drug-delivery to biosensing. For binding to be highly selective, ligands should exclusively interact with specific targeted receptors, because formation of bonds with other, untargeted ones would lead to non-specific binding and potentially harmful behaviour. This poses a particular problem for multivalent nanoparticles, because even very weak bonds can collectively lead to strong binding. A statistical mechanical model is used here to describe how competition between different receptors together with multivalent effects can be harnessed to design ligand-functionalized nanoparticles insensitive to the presence of untargeted receptors, are insensitive to these problems, preventing non-specific binding.

description: The results of a search for Higgs boson pair (HH) production in the WWWW, WW$\tau\tau$, and $\tau\tau\tau\tau$ decay modes are presented. The search uses 138 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV from 2016 to 2018. Analyzed events contain two, three, or four reconstructed leptons, including electrons, muons, and hadronically decaying tau leptons. No evidence for a signal is found in the data. Upper limits are set on the cross section for nonresonant HH production, as well as resonant production in which a new heavy particle decays to a pair of Higgs bosons. For nonresonant production, the observed (expected) upper limit on the cross section at 95% confidence level (CL) is 21.3 (19.4) times the standard model (SM) prediction. The observed (expected) ratio of the trilinear Higgs boson self-coupling to its value in the SM is constrained to be within the interval -6.9 to 11.1 (-6.9 to 11.7) at 95% CL, and limits are set on a variety of new-physics models using an effective field theory approach. The observed (expected) limits on the cross section for resonant HH production amount to 0.18-0.90 (0.08-1.06) pb at 95% CL for new heavy-particle masses in the range 250-1000 GeV.
An Assessment of Forest Resource Conservation and Development Strategy in the Case of Ameya Woreda South West Shewa Zone, Oromia Regional State
Creators: name: Erpasa, Tesfaye
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: Deforestation has taken place, and is still taking place, in proportions that are beyond any expectations. The existing production capacity of the remaining forest is small while the demand for forest output is tremendous and growing by the day. The present demand is many times over the present supply and the gap is widening. The proximate and underlying causes to these problems in the forestry sector are many and varied. Some of the major cross-cutting issues include; macro economic and inter-sectoral effects, land use conflicts in forests and forest fringes, structure and operations of forests and forest fringes, structure and operations of forest related institution, current forestry strategies, land and tree tenure, and consolidated forest policy statement at the national level. In combating these issues and in order to bring about sustainable production of forest goods and services, we need to look at alternative form of land use to nature forests, issues related to sustainable land use in forest and forest fringes, decentralization and institutions. The concern of this research is, therefore, to assess forest resource conservation strategy, state of implementation of the strategy, gaps in implementation and level of community participation in the program by taking Ameya Woreda, South West Showa Zone, Oromia regional state as a case study. The study has employed structured interview, personal observation, and focus group discussion methods to obtain necessary information. The information obtained is analyzed using descriptive statistics. The result of the study has revealed that even if different strategies have been employed to conserve forest resource of the woreda there are many problems that can affect its effectiveness. To mention agricultural land expansion, increased demand for fuel wood, free reaming livestock and willing participation of the community are some of it however, the opinions of the farmer indicate that currently, the number and types of tree they do have on their private plot is increasing. As the result, there have been relative improvements in resource conservation of the area

description: The first search for nonresonant production of Higgs boson pairs (HH) with one H decaying into four leptons and the other into a pair of b quarks is presented, using proton-proton collisions recorded at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV by the CMS experiment. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. A 95% confidence level upper limit of 32.4 is set on the signal strength modifier $\mu$, defined as the ratio of the observed HH production rate in the HH $\to$ ZZ*b$\mathrm{\bar{b}}$ $\to$ 4$\ell$b$\mathrm{\bar{b}}$ decay channel to the standard model expectation. Possible modifications of the H trilinear coupling $\lambda_\text{HHH}$ with respect to the standard model (SM) value are investigated. The coupling modifier $\kappa_{\lambda}$, defined as $\lambda_\text{HHH}$ divided by its SM prediction, is constrained to be within the observed (expected) range -8.8 (-9.8) $<$ $\kappa_{\lambda}$ $<$ 13.4 (15.0) at 95% confidence level.

description: Drug discovery is adapting to novel technologies such as data science, informatics, and artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate effective treatment development while reducing costs and animal experiments. AI is transforming drug discovery, as indicated by increasing interest from investors, industrial and academic scientists, and legislators. Successful drug discovery requires optimizing properties related to pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, and clinical outcomes. This review discusses the use of AI in the three pillars of drug discovery: diseases, targets, and therapeutic modalities, with a focus on small molecule drugs. AI technologies, such as generative chemistry, machine learning, and multi-property optimization, have enabled several compounds to enter clinical trials. The scientific community must carefully vet known information to address the reproducibility crisis. The full potential of AI in drug discovery can only be realized with sufficient ground truth and appropriate human intervention at later pipeline stages.

description: In July 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the CERN Large Hadron Collider announced the observation of a Higgs boson at a mass of around 125 gigaelectronvolts. Ten years later, and with the data corresponding to the production of a 30-times larger number of Higgs bosons, we have learnt much more about the properties of the Higgs boson. The CMS experiment has observed the Higgs boson in numerous fermionic and bosonic decay channels, established its spin–parity quantum numbers, determined its mass and measured its production cross-sections in various modes. Here the CMS Collaboration reports the most up-to-date combination of results on the properties of the Higgs boson, including the most stringent limit on the cross-section for the production of a pair of Higgs bosons, on the basis of data from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 teraelectronvolts. Within the uncertainties, all these observations are compatible with the predictions of the standard model of elementary particle physics. Much evidence points to the fact that the standard model is a low-energy approximation of a more comprehensive theory. Several of the standard model issues originate in the sector of Higgs boson physics. An order of magnitude larger number of Higgs bosons, expected to be examined over the next 15 years, will help deepen our understanding of this crucial sector.

description: A search for a charged Higgs boson H$^\pm$ decaying into a heavy neutral Higgs boson H and a W boson is presented. The analysis targets the H decay into a pair of tau leptons with at least one of them decaying hadronically and with an additional electron or muon present in the event. The search is based on proton-proton collision data recorded by the CMS experiment during 2016-2018 at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The data are consistent with standard model background expectations. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for an H$^\pm$ in the mass range of 300-700 GeV, assuming an H with a mass of 200 GeV. The observed limits range from 0.085 pb for an H$^\pm$ mass of 300 GeV to 0.019 pb for a mass of 700 GeV. These are the first limits on H$^\pm$ production in the H$^\pm$ $\to$ HW$^\pm$ decay channel at the LHC.

description: Ferroelectrics usually adopt a multi-domain state with domain walls separating domains with polarization axes oriented differently. It has long been recognized that domain walls can dramatically impact the properties of ferroelectric materials. The enhancement of low-field susceptibility/permittivity under subswitching conditions is usually attributed to the reversible domain wall vibration. Recent experiments highlight the stationary domain wall contribution to the dielectric susceptibility irrespective of any lateral displacements or deformations of the wall. We study the effects of domain walls on low-field permittivity of PbTiO$_3$ with density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations. The static dielectric constant is calculated as a function of increasing domain wall density and temperature. We find an increase of dielectric permittivity with increasing domain wall density, which is expected to occur at low driving field where the lateral motion of domain walls is forbidden. Real-space decomposition of dielectric response reveals that frustrated dipoles within the finite width of the domain walls are responsible for the enhanced low-field permittivity.

An Analysis of the Prospects and Possible Challenges of Transition from Line Item to Program Budgeting Approach in Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.
Creators: name: Gobezie, Michaele
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Identifying the importance of PB manner the government of Ethiopia has decided to replace the existing traditional line item budgeting approach by program budgeting. It has been argued in this thesis that the government of Ethiopia has made some good progress in introducing PB. It has been successful in initiating the shift in mindset of public servants and in instilling a performance culture in the public sector. The thesis uses in-depth interviews with the budget reform team members, questionnaires to budget experts in public bodies, discussions in training sessions and secondary data which are analysed qualitatively by categorising into themes. According to the finding the shift to PB was necessary to be more result oriented and responsive. All the formats are completed and trainings are given, public bodies are expected to prepare for the coming budget year, but there are a lot of challenges faced which are among others: low capacity of both MoFED to control and follow up and ministries to undertake the reforms genuinely and uniformly, methodological problems like complexity, agreements in terminologies, variations in understanding of objectives, programs, results/outputs, difficulties in costing methods and measuring outcomes, lack of attention and commitment of top level officials and also all staffs of the ministries. Finally based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that MoFED has to strengthen its capacity, keep the framework simple, ensure a genuine participation and ownership, design flexible and effective costing method and communicate it effectively in a gradual step by step approach to bring out the change. Therefore, it is recommended to delay the implementation of PB to the next fiscal year

description: To date, the intrinsic thermal conductivity tensor of bulk black phosphorus (BP), an important 2D material, is still unknown, since recent studies focus on BP flakes not on bulk BP. Here we report the anisotropic thermal conductivity tensor of bulk BP, for temperature range 80 - 300 K. Our measurements are similar to prior measurements on submicron BP flakes along zigzag and armchair axes, but are >25% higher in the through-plane axis, suggesting that phonon mean-free-paths are substantially longer in the through-plane direction. We find that despite the anisotropy in thermal conductivity, phonons are predominantly scattered by the same Umklapp processes in all directions. We also find that the phonon relaxation time is rather isotropic in the basal planes, but is highly anisotropic in the through-plane direction. Our work advances fundamental knowledge of anisotropic scattering of phonons in BP and is an important benchmark for future studies on thermal properties of BP nanostructures.

description: in vivo lead discovery/lead optimization is an important stage using animal models of disease to assess the target mechanism of action, efficacy, safety profiling, unpredicted toxicity and further investigation of the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) properties. Compared to in vivo screening, in vivo testing is better suited for observing the overall effects of an experiment on a living subject. In addition, whole-organism in vivo screening holds several advantages to small molecule discovery for its target agonistic and holistic. The in vivo experiments of drug discovery give convincing evidence for preclinical trials at the physiological level.

Year: 2017

description: Internationally, organizations include corporate social responsibility practice as one of their marketing strategy to attract socially and environmentally conscious customers. Commercial bank of Ethiopia has made a deliberate effort to demonstrate leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives in the country. But, the practice is not assumed as means to attract customers. The objective of this study was to explore the effect of corporate social responsibility practice on building the company's brand equity. The study used both quantitative and qualitative research approaches and explanatory and descriptive types of research design were employed. Interview and questionnaire were used to collect the data. The questionnaire was administered to conveniently selected, 371 samples of respondents. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and linear regressions models. The findings of the study showed that most of respondents were aware of the CSR practice of the bank. The study revealed that the corporate social responsibility practice of the bank make a significant contribution to the company's brand equity. Moreover, CSR practice of the bank also has a significant with individual brand equity dimensions (brand awareness, brand image, brand credibility, brand feeling and brand loyalty). In addition, interview was undertaken to know the existing CSR practice of the bank. The study finding shows that, the bank's CSR practice is not well structured, it didn't disclose on medias and it is not meant to attract customers. Therefore; knowing that the practice is valued by the customers and it has a significant effect on the company's brand, Commercial Bank Ethiopia T should consider publicizing to the public via media outlets in more organized way in order to get the return from its good deeds and the practice should be guided by a clearly defined policy to apply its CSR activities.
Observation of wavelength-dependent Brewster angle shift in 3D photonic crystals

description: The interaction of polarized light with photonic crystals exhibit unique features due to its sub-wavelength nature on the surface and the periodic variation of refractive index in the depth of the crystals. Here, we present a detailed study of polarization anisotropy in light scattering associated with three-dimensional photonic crystals with face centered cubic symmetry over a broad wavelength and angular range. The polarization anisotropy leads to a shift in the conventional Brewster angle defined for a planar interface with certain refractive index. The observed shift in Brewster angle strongly depends on the index contrast and lattice constant. Polarization-dependent stop gap measurements are performed on photonic crystals with different index contrast and lattice constants. These measurements indicate unique stop gap branching at high-symmetry points in the Brillouin zone of the photonic crystals. The inherited stop gap branching is observed for TE polarization whereas that is suppressed for TM polarization as a consequence of Brewster effect. Our results have consequences in the polarized light-scattering from plasmonic structures and dielectric meta-surfaces and are also useful in applications like nano-scale polarization splitters and lasers.

description: Correlations between light neutrino observables are arguably the strongest predictions of lepton avour models based on (discrete) symmetries, except for the very few cases which unambiguously predict the full set of leptonic mixing angles. A subclass of these correlations are neutrino mass sum rules, which connect the three (complex) light neutrino mass eigenvalues among each other. This connection constrains both the light neutrino mass scale and the Majorana phases, so that mass sum rules generically lead to a nonzero value of the lightest neutrino mass and to distinct predictions for the e ective mass probed in neutrinoless double beta decay. However, in nearly all cases known, the neutrino mass sum rules are not exact and receive corrections from various sources. We introduce a formalism to handle these corrections perturbatively in a model-independent manner, which overcomes issues present in earlier approaches. Our ansatz allows us to quantify the modi cation of the predictions derived from neutrino mass sum rules. We show that, in most cases, the predictions are fairly stable: while small quantitative changes can appear, they are generally rather mild. We therefore establish the predictivity of neutrino mass sum rules on a level far more general than previously known.

description: Everyone agrees that Ethiopia must modernize and transform its food systems at speed and scale. The urgency of this task becomes particularly relevant in the face of population growth, the youth bulge, and environmental degradation, further compounded by climate change and the rising middle-class population, which consequently demands nutrient-dense foods. The core question for Ethiopia is how and what to do to modernize and transform traditional agriculture and improve the quality of life of the rural population.

No country has ever developed its agricultural and rural economy without a steadfast commitment and substantial public sector finance. This financial support is crucial for facilitating mechanization, technical adoption, investment in agriculture and rural economy, and sustained improvements in the quality of life for everyone. The aspiration to transform agriculture and the rural economy can only be realized with improved access to capital, purchasing inputs and aggregate land, investing in irrigation infrastructure, adopting farm mechanization, engaging in microeconomic transformation in rural areas, and protecting against agricultural risk. Protecting the investment in the agricultural sector through agricultural risk insurance is paramount and an essential prerequisite for public and private investment.

description: The discovery of the Higgs particle at 125 GeV has put strong constraints on minimal messenger models of gauge mediation, pushing the stop masses into the multi-TeV regime. Extensions of these models with matter-messenger mixing terms have been proposed to generate a large trilinear parameter, $A_t$, relaxing these constraints. The detailed survey of these models \cite{Byakti:2013ti,Evans:2013kxa} so far considered messenger mixings with only MSSM superfields. In the present work, we extend the survey to MSSM with inverse-seesaw mechanism. The neutrino-sneutrino corrections to the Higgs mass in the inverse seesaw model are not significant in the minimal gauge mediation model, unless one considers messenger-matter interaction terms. We classify all possible models with messenger-matter interactions and perform thorough numerical analysis to find out the promising models. We found that out of the 17 possible models 9 of them can lead to Higgs mass within the observed value without raising the sfermion masses significantly. The successful models have stop masses $\sim $1.5 TeV with small or negligible mixing and yet a light CP even Higgs at 125 GeV.

The Charities and Societies Proclamation: Current Practice, Challenges and its Impact on the Activities of Selected NGOs/CSOs
Creators: name: Mulata, Habtu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: No other Ethiopian laws/proclamations have attracted as much attention as the CSP 621/2009. Ever since its inception over six years ago, it has aroused considerable attention and debate from a great variety of concerned parties. Despite this, the author is not aware of any previous comprehensive research study in the last three years that has been done on the CSP proclamation. Employing the Descriptive Qualitative Approach as its primary methodology, this study endeavors to extract the most important elements of this proclamation and examine why it has attracted so much attention. It examines the impact of CSP on the activities of CSOs/NGOs in the areas of the right of freedom of association, promotion of human rights, and the right to raise funds to support their programs and allocation of costs. Among the major issues examined are the restriction on Ethiopian Charities to mobilize at least 90% of their funding from local sources; the restriction of Ethiopian Resident Charities from participating in "rights activities"; and the 30% administrative ceiling and the way administration costs are defined. The study compares the CSP with CSO-related laws in other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study found out that CSP is prohibitive in the area of Public Policy activities, restrictive in securing funding and lacks tax provision for individual and corporate donors to Charities, The study found out the positive impact of CSP as well: It encourages directing 70% or more of the fund to beneficiaries. It emboldens transparency stewardship and accountability of CSOs .Allowing CSO to involve in IGA was another positive finding. Finally, the study recommends practical ways that the government could change or modify the CSP legislation to create smoother and fairer relationships between the government and the CSOs serving the country

description: Visual overview of experimental conditions for our Experiments 1-3. A.) Experiment 1 tests the loss of the third dimension—comparison of our 3D complete model to our 2D model. B.) Experiment 2 tests the loss of half of the mandible. In Experiment 2a, we compare our 3D hemi-mandible to our 3D complete mandible. Next, in Experiment 2b, we attempt to simulate symphyseal force transfer and compare our 3D hemi-mandible with different symphyseal boundary conditions. C.) Experiment 3 tests the effect of constraints. In Experiment 3a we compare our constrained 2D and 3D models. In Experiment 3b, we remove symphyseal constraints and compare our unconstrained 2D model to our unconstrained 3D hemi-mandible. Bite point and condylar constraints are also depicted.
The Evolving Question of Land in Ethiopia: Tenure Preferences, Property Rights and Land Governance
Creators: name: Diriba, Getachew

description: Ethiopia faces major political and economic difficulties, expressed in massive shortfalls in domestic food supply, food imports that swell continuously to meet national demand, and resulting trade deficits and pressure on the national accounts. Population pressure is associated with high unemployment, particularly among the youth, farm decapitalization, and a vicious cycle of poverty and food insecurity. These are not insurmountable challenges if Ethiopia could only stimulate its currently dead land assets into an active source of capital for national development.

Land as a political economy agent is a source of economic and political power, and essential to the survival and viability of the agricultural population (smallholder farming households) and of the Ethiopian people as a whole. However, land in Ethiopia carries historical baggage which provokes fresh memories of the 1974 revolution. This resulted in the 1975 land reform, codified in the 1995 federal constitution, which placed land as the public property of the Ethiopian people. It is all too obvious to perceive land tenure discussions as a political tinderbox, and it is not impossible to appreciate the reticence of political authorities and policy-makers in resisting reform. As a result, land problems have accumulated over the decades and now surpass the limits of tolerance in terms of food insecurity, environmental degradation, and land scarcity; land issues are also now shaping national political contestation and conflict.

Land tenure, which is the question of ‘who owns the land’ or ‘who uses the land’, is in part philosophical (that land is a gift of nature), in part a question of property rights (the right of every citizen to own property protected by law), and in part a question of development (land being one of the factors of production that constitutes the very foundation of social and economic development). Regardless of the perception of its ownership or use, or how long it is owned (indefinite for private or definite for public ownership), all land tenure regimes are governed by the same property rights and land administration principles.

The argument of this paper is that Ethiopia’s national development in the 21st century and the transformation of its food system rest on three priority pillars of land reform: a) close the sterile land tenure preference debate, i.e., private vs public ownership; b) activate and enshrine property rights provisions for all Ethiopians; and, c) put in place an integrated land administration and governance system. These three are inseparable and interdependent. Managed well, these land reform priorities could be sources of capital formation and food system transformation that will free millions from poverty and food insecurity and put Ethiopia on the path of inclusive national development. Managed poorly or inadequately, the land question will be a source of massive poverty and interminable conflict on the national political landscape.
