description: All Earth System models project a consistent decrease in the oxygen content of the ocean for the coming decades because of ocean warming, reduced ventilation and increased stratification. But large uncertainties for these future projections of ocean deoxygenation remain for the subsurface tropical oceans where the major Oxygen Minimum Zones are located. Here, we combine global warming projections, model-based estimate of natural short-term variability, as well as data and model estimates of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ocean oxygenation to gain some insights into the major mechanisms of oxygenation changes across these different time-scales. We show that the primary uncertainty on future ocean deoxygenation in the subsurface tropical oceans is in fact controlled by a robust compensation between decreasing oxygen saturation (O2sat) due to warming and decreasing apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) due to increased ventilation of the corresponding water masses. Modelled short-term natural variability in subsurface oxygen levels also reveals a compensation between O2sat and AOU, controlled by the latter. Finally, using a model simulation of the LGM, reproducing data-based reconstructions of past ocean (de)oxygenation, we show that the deoxygenation trend of the subsurface ocean during the deglaciation was controlled by a combination of warming-induced decreasing O2sat and increasing AOU driven by a reduced ventilation of tropical subsurface waters.

description: Diet, inflammation, and oxidative stress may be important in breast carcinogenesis, but evidence on the role of the inflammatory and prooxidative potential of dietary patterns is limited. Energy adjusted-Dietary Inflammatory Index (E-DII™) and dietary oxidative balance score (D-OBS) were calculated for 43 563 Sister Study cohort participants who completed a Block 1998 food frequency questionnaire at enrollment in 2003–2009 and satisfied eligibility criteria. D-OBS was validated using measured F2-isoprostanes and metabolites. High E-DII score and low D-OBS represent a more proinflammatory and prooxidant diet, respectively, and associations of quartiles of each index with breast cancer (BC) risk were estimated using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. There were 2619 BCs diagnosed at least 1 year after enrollment (mean follow-up 8.4 years). There was no overall association between E-DII and BC risk, whereas there was a suggestive inverse association for the highest vs lowest quartile of D-OBS (HR 0.92 [95% CI, 0.81-1.03]). The highest quartile of E-DII was associated with risk of triple-negative BC (HR 1.53 [95% CI, 0.99-2.35]). When the two indices were combined, a proinflammatory/prooxidant diet (highest tertile of E-DII and lowest tertile of D-OBS) was associated with increased risk for all BC (HR 1.13 [95% CI, 1.00-1.27]) and for triple-negative BC (1.72 [95% CI, 1.10-2.70]), compared to an antiinflammatory/antioxidant diet (lowest tertile of E-DII and highest tertile of D-OBS). Diets with increased inflammatory potential and reduced oxidative balance were positively associated with overall and triple-negative BC.

description: This paper extends classical results by Langer and Kramers and combines them with modern methods from high-temperature field theory. Assuming Langevin dynamics, the end-product is an all-orders description of bubble-nucleation at high temperatures. Specifically, it's shown that equilibrium and non-equilibrium effects factorize to all orders, and that the nucleation rate splits into a statistical and a dynamical prefactor. The derivation clarifies, and incorporates, higher-order corrections from zero-modes. The rate is also shown to be real to all orders in perturbation theory. The methods are applied to several models. As such, Feynman rules are given; the relevant power-counting is introduced; RG invariance is shown; the connection with the effective action is discussed, and an explicit construction of propagators in an inhomogeneous background is given. The formalism applies to both phase and Sphaleron transitions. While mainly focused on field theory, the methods are applicable to finite-dimensional systems. Finally, as this paper assumes an effective Langevin description, all results only hold within this framework.

Performance Analysis of Hybrid RF-VLC with NOMA for Multi-User Indoor Optical Wireless Communication
Creators: name: Haylemaryam Gashaw Geto
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020

description: Recently, visible light communication (VLC) networks have emerged as a possible alternative
 for data access, primarily for indoors environments. The very high data rates, free from radio
 frequency (RF) interference and low implementation cost behavior make them attractive for
 the next generation of indoor networking. Basically, such technology cannot replace the whole
 radio frequency communication technologies mainly due to two basic reasons. Firstly, visible light communication technology supports only short-range data transmission and hence the
 achievable data rate decreases rapidly with increasing distance between transmitter and receiver.
 The second one is that VLC transmitter LED’s light should always turned on for data transmission. So that, we need integrate VLC technologies with RF access points to improve user’s
 data rate and to minimize the limited range of high data rate in visible light communication.
 Additionally, RF APs are used to improve the total achievable sum rate for randomly deployed
 multi users by minimizing the outage probability of users due to bad channel conditions.
 In this thesis, a low complexity and efficient power allocation strategy is proposed for indoor
 hybrid VLC/RF systems. Furthermore, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is applied on
 both VLC and RF access points to enhance the spectrum efficiency of the system. Generally, the
 performance of the total sum rate of hybrid system with four VLC access points (APs) and RF
 APs is analyzed for typical room indoor scenario, where both RF and VLC subnetworks perform NOMA. More specifically, the average minimum and maximum sum rates of randomly
 deployed multi-users are investigated through extensive Monte Carlo iterations. MATLAB simulation results depict that the effectiveness of the proposed power allocation strategy, as well as
 its robustness for large number of users.

Optimization of the mixing ration of brewery waste water sludge & coalas energy source for cement industrial & fuelash on the raw material composition
Creators: name: YosePh  Tilahun
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Treatment of brewery waste water produce sludge with high organic content, which required
 proper management before disposal. The sludge is disposed to land fill creating contamination to
 the ground water and surface water due to high organic content. Also increase salinity of crops
 and environment. Since it has a potential for energy production, it can be used in the countries
 coal dependent cement industry due to its energy content. The objective of this study was to
 characterize brewery waste water sludge and coal, to determine the optimum mix ratio and to see
 the effect of mixture fuel ash content on raw mix design. Characterization of coal using ASTM
 2009 and sludge using WHO method was done and also calorific value with different mixing ratio
 of coal and sludge determined by bomb calorimeter in order to find optimum mix. By using
 proportionating calculation, determining the effect of mixture fuel ash on the clinker and
 proportion of raw materials used is done. Brewery waste water sludge has high moisture content
 and volatile mater compared to coal. Also its ash content is higher than coal. Calorific value of
 brewery waste water sludge will not allow as using it without mixing. It is found that 70% coal
 and 30% sludge to be optimum mix ratio. Its high amount of SiO2, Al2O3 and Fe2O3 makes it to
 substitute some portion of clay and sand stone while our lime feed increase as result. Since mixture
 fuel ash content is similar with cement raw materials, brewery waste water sludge is good
 alternative for cement industry.

description: The existence of individual variation in males' motivation to mate remains a conundrum as directional selection should favour high mating frequencies. Balancing selection resulting from (context-dependent) female mate choice could contribute to the maintenance of this behavioural polymorphism. In dichotomous choice tests, mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) females preferred virtual males showing intermediate mating frequencies, reflecting females' tendencies to avoid harassment by highly sexually active males. When tested in the presence of a female shoal—which protects females from male harassment—focal females showed significantly stronger preferences for high sexual activity. A trade-off between (indirect) benefits and (direct) costs of mating with sexually active males likely explains context-dependent female mate choice, as costs depend on the social environment in which females choose their mates. No preference was observed when we tested virgin females, suggesting that the behavioural pattern described here is part of the learned behavioural repertoire of G. holbrooki females.

description: Hydropower has been found to have a positive effect on the quality of life of rural dwellers
 in numerous ways. It provides a wide range of services, such as improved lighting; schools,
 computer and communication service centers, clinics, and etc. Ethiopia has many dams
 built for irrigation and water supply, but these may still have the potential for other uses.
 One of such dams is the Arjo Dedessa dam in west Ethiopia. The dam has a live storage of
 1515.81Mm3 and a yearly average inflow of 3419Mm3. This study is a hydrological
 investigation concerning the possibility of using the dam for power generation. The linear
 regression analysis model of Arjo with Dembi gauging station, as automated in Microsoft
 Excel, was used to extend the available streamflow record at the dam site of Arjo station.
 Thereafter, a reservoir yield-capacity analysis was carried out by maximizing unknown
 release subject to storage continuity constraints. The result showed that the maximum
 monthly yield from the reservoir at a normal and maximum water level is 284.45Mm3 and
 285.74Mm3 respectively. Optimization models have been developed to maximize annual
 energy generation from the Arjo Dedessa dam, subject to the constraint of release for
 irrigation, ecological purposes, the maximum yield from the reservoir and reservoir
 storage. The model was solved with LINGO software for various mean annual inflow
 exceedance probabilities. Two scenarios of hydropower are independent and
 complimentary hydropower release retrofitting were considered. Scenario 1, with the
 inflow at 50%, 75% and 90% probabilities of exceedance, give the total annual power as
 4.44MW, 0.031MW, and 0.026MW, respectively. The corresponding values for scenario 2
 were 4.59MW, 0.4MW, and 0.38M, respectively. The study also considered increasing the
 reservoir’s live storage to 1945.01Mm3 by taking part in the flood storage. With this upper
 limit of storage with reservoir inflow of 50%, 75%, and 90% probabilities of exceedance,
 the hydropower generated increased to 6.54MW, 4.58MW, and 2.01MW respectively for
 scenario 1 arrangement, while those of scenario 2 increased to 6.78MW, 4.62MW, and
 2.04MW respectively. The result indicates that the Arjo Dedessa dam is suitable for the
 production of hydroelectric power and that its generation potential is between 6.54MW
 and 6.78MW.

description: Background: In a previous exploratory study, we reported lower concentrations of the ovarian reserve biomarker anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in adulthood with prenatal farm exposure. We now examine this association as well as childhood farm exposure using enrollment data from the Sister Study, a large US cohort of women. Methods: We collected prenatal and childhood farm exposure data by questionnaire and telephone interview. However, serum AMH data were available only for a nested subset: premenopausal women ages 35-54 subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer (n = 418 cases) and their matched controls (n = 866). To avoid potential bias from restricting analyses to only premenopausal controls, we leveraged the available cohort data. We used data from both premenopausal cases and controls as well as postmenopausal women ages 35-54 (n = 3,526) (all presumed to have undetectable AMH concentrations) and applied weights to produce a sample representative of the cohort ages 35-54 (n = 17,799). The high proportion of undetectable AMH concentrations (41%) was addressed using reverse-scale Cox regression. An adjusted hazard ratio (HR) <1.0 indicates that exposed individuals had lower AMH concentrations than unexposed individuals. Results: Prenatal exposure to maternal residence or work on a farm was associated with lower AMH concentrations (HR 0.66; 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 0.48 to 0.90). Associations between childhood farm residence exposures and AMH were null or weak, except childhood contact with pesticide-treated livestock or buildings (HR 0.69; 95% CI = 0.40 to 1.2). Conclusions: Replication of the prenatal farm exposure and lower adult AMH association raises concern that aspects of prenatal farm exposure may result in reduced adult ovarian reserve.

description: Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentrations are a marker of ovarian reserve and are indicative of a woman's reproductive lifespan. Exposure to tobacco smoke has been associated with lower AMH concentrations; however, less is known about the association between ambient air pollution and ovarian reserve. Methods: For 883 premenopausal Sister Study participants recruited between 2003 and 2009 in the United States, adult residential annual average concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, and NO2 were estimated using validated universal kriging models incorporating land-use regression. We estimated the distance in meters to the nearest major road for both adult enrollment and childhood residences. Serum AMH was measured using an ultrasensitive ELISA assay. Samples with AMH concentrations below the detection limit were analyzed using a picoAMH ELISA assay. Multivariable-adjusted linear regression was used to estimate the percent change in AMH in relation to ambient residential air pollution, categorized in quartiles and per interquartile range increase, and distance to a major roadway. Results: Overall, we observed little to no evidence of associations between AMH and air pollution concentrations or proximity to roadways. Women in the highest quartile of NO2 exposure, a traffic-related pollutant, had higher estimated AMH concentrations (Q4 vs. Q1, 42.9%; 95% CI=-3.4, 111.4) compared with the lowest quartile. However, lower mean AMH concentrations were observed for women living closer to a major roadway (<50 m to nearest roadway vs. ≥200 m=-32.9%; 95% CI=-56.1, 2.6). Conclusions: We saw little consistent evidence to support an association between outdoor air pollution and diminished ovarian reserve in US women ages 35-54.

description: Recently the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) types of unmanned aerial vehicle
 (UAV) have attracted most of the control and aeronautical researchers due to its
 compatibility of hovering and long mileage. This thesis deals with the controller design
 of fixed-wing VTOL UAV. The dynamic modelling and kinematic modelling of the
 vehicle is performed by the Euler Lagrange mathematical modelling technique.
 However it is demanding to find the aerodynamic coefficients, this thesis proposes
 estimating the aerodynamic modelling of the vehicle using Athena Vortex Lattice
 method (AVL).
 Two controllers are used sequentially in the controller design. In order to provide stable
 closed loop system Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is optimized by Particle Swarm
 Optimization (PSO) in the inner loop and the reference command regulation is provided
 by the genetic algorithm based PID controller. The linearized dynamical model is
 simulated on MATLAB/Simulink. PSO and GA are provided by MATLAB/Script and
 MATLAB/Optimization Tool Box respectively. The simulation result shows that the
 settling time is achieved within less than 5 seconds for the stability of the system. The
 system robustness is evaluated for step input disturbance and small parameter variation.
 The result for robustness test shows that the controller is capable of withstanding 2 unit
 disturbance of control input deflection and 10 unit disturbance of rotor speed.
 Considering the system is exposed to 2Kg mass variation, the states converges to the
 desired output with an average of 12 second except for the roll angle which converges
 within 2 minutes. Nevertheless, the system is robust to the small input disturbance and
 parameter variation.

Optimal Pavement Maintenance Strategies for Addis Ababa City Road Network, Analysis Using HDM4
Creators: name: Betelihem Alemu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Defects, Maintenance alternatives

description: In developing countries like Ethiopia where the traffic growth and axle loading is growing,
 deterioration of highways is very fast. This increased traffic demands multilane highways with
 proper maintenance time to time. During the process of road network maintenance and
 rehabilitation, road authorities strive to select an optimum maintenance strategy from a number of
 alternatives. This selection may be obtained only through a realistic approach. An economically
 acceptable maintenance strategy may be selected among a number of maintenance alternatives. It
 can be done through the analysis of costs and benefits by comparing the various maintenance
 alternatives with the help of Highway Development and Management tool (HDM-4). This paper
 specifically addresses flexible pavement, including two principal arterial streets under the
 administration of Addis Ababa city Roads Authority. The roads include road from Gotera
 Interchange to Meskel Square and from Iran Embassy to Bisrate Gebriel. These roads are divided
 into different sections and the sections are in turn divided into segments each having 100m length.
 The Study involves data collection, data analysis and the selection of optimal maintenance strategy
 by using project analysis component of HDM-4 for the road sections under consideration. Four
 types of maintenance alternatives including Scheduled patching, overlay, thin lay and slurry seal
 were assigned. The optimum maintenance strategy has been selected by comparing Discounted
 Net Present Value, Road Deterioration (Roughness progression) and Emission by vehicle Report.
 The results of the analysis has shown that scheduled patching and overlay is the optimal
 maintenance alternative for both of the selected road networks. It is expected that the information
 contained in this paper would be a base line to develop optimal maintenance management strategy
 principal arterial streets in Ethiopia

description: Abstract

The report from the Ministry of Laboure showed that the 54362 Vietnamese workers in 2023 working in Taiwan have left their contracts illegally to work in Taiwan. Therefore, how to maintain the employment of Vietnamese workers keep working in Taiwan. Working environment and sociocultural adaptation and reduce the negative benefits is an important issue for Vietnamese workers. This study aims to clarify the relationships among Psychological Contract Violations, Unmet expectation, Job Dissatisfaction, Social cultural of the adaption and Intention to Leave of Vietnamese migrant workers in Taiwan. The primary motive was to find those factors which are strong predictors of Intention to leave. This study using quantitative research methods to examine the relationship among variables. The sample for this study included 290 Vietnamese migrant workers who are currently working in Taiwan. The findings of this study revealed that Psychological Contract Violations have significant effect on Unmet Expectations and Job Dissatisfaction. In addition, Job Dissatisfaction has significant effect on their Intention to Leave. Furthermore, the study found that Unmet Expectation mediates the relationship between Psychological Contract Violations and Job Dissatisfaction; Sociocultural adaptation have a moderating effect on intention to leave.

Subjects: Proximate composition, Dioscorea praehensilis benth, wild edible plant, tuber, indigenous, antioxidant

description: Dioscorea praehensilis benth is tuber based underutilized edible plant that is an
 indigenous in Ethiopia. Herein, nutritional and anti-nutritional composition,
 antioxidant, antibacterial activities and functional properties of this tuber plant
 were investigated. The total phenolic content and total flavonoid content of the
 extract were determined by Folin ciocalteus method and aluminum colorimetric
 assay, respectively. The antioxidant activities were quantified by 2,2-diphenyl-
 1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging and ferric reducing power assay.
 The shade dried had the highest moisture, ash, and crude protein content of
 7.28%, 4.55%, and 20.72%, respectively. In addition, calcium (253.17 mg/100g)
 and potassium (125.39 mg/100g) contents of the shade dried were significantly
 higher than that of other drying conditions. The oven-dried had the highest iron
 (49.84 mg/100mg) and the least zinc (0.49 mg/100g) content. The antinutritional content of oxalic (0.19±0.03 g/100g) and phytic (2.43±0.12 g/100g)
 acids were found to be also higher in shade-dried sample than the other samples.
 The total phenolic contents of shade-dried, sun-dried, and oven-dried samples
 were 16.25±0.05, 16.3±0.07, 15.84±0.1 mg gallic acid equivalent/ gram weight,
 respectively. The total flavonoid contents follow the same order as calculated in
 terms of, which were 12.82±0.05, 11.69±0.15, and 8.78±0.13 mg quercetin/
 gram, respectively. The shade dried had strongest DPPH scavenging activity
 IC50= 82.91 µg/ml and the lowest was for oven-dried (IC50=308.8 µg/ml). For
 the antibacterial activity the highest inhibition zone was found for shade-dried
 on both strain of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus 7.25±0.08 mm and
 8.26±0.06 mm, respectively while there were no inhibition zone for oven-dried
 sample. Thus, the result obtained indicated that Dioscorea praehensilis benth
 (shade dried) had better micro and macro nutrient composition, antioxidant,
 antimicrobial activities and less amount of anti-nutritional compounds as
 compared to other reported Dioscorea species.
