description: Recently, two-photon six-qubit hyperentangled states were produced in experiment and they can improve the channel capacity of quantum communication largely. Here we present a scheme for the hyperentanglement purification of nonlocal two-photon systems in three degrees of freedom (DOFs), including the polarization, the first-longitudinal-momentum, and the second longitudinal momentum DOFs. Our hyperentanglement purification protocol (hyper-EPP) is constructed with two steps resorting to parity-check quantum nondemolition measurement on the three DOFs and SWAP gates, respectively. With these two steps, the bit-flip errors in the three DOFs can be corrected efficiently. Also, we show that using SWAP gates is a universal method for hyper-EPP in the polarization DOF and multiple longitudinal momentum DOFs. The implementation of our hyper-EPP is assisted by nitrogen-vacancy centers in optical microcavities, which could be achieved with current techniques. It is useful for long-distance high-capacity quantum communication with two-photon six-qubit hyperentanglement.

Family, education, and safety: How parents and researchers perceive the needs of trans* youth
Creators: name: Hill, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: trans youth
subject: TGNC
subject: content analysis

description: This study explores the needs of transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth through the eyes of the cisgender guardians, researchers, and care providers raising and working with them. Qualitative conventional content analysis was utilized to evaluate a series of parenting and research articles in order to observe how researchers and caregivers perceive and write about the needs of TGNC youth. Through this analysis I found that cisgender researchers and guardians identify the central needs of TGNC youth to be the need for family support, connection with the LGBTQ+ community, peer support, educational resources, and protection from discrimination. While there is some overlap between the two groups' findings, the incongruencies between the two groups' perspectives demonstrates a present gap in knowledge between guardians, researchers, and care providers. From these results I argue for the integration of guardian and care provider perspectives when developing trans* resources in order to ensure that all parties have a comprehensive understanding of trans* needs and consider a variety of perspectives when caring for TGNC youth.

description: The magnetic storm around 1859 September 2, caused by so-called Carrington flare, was the most intense in the history of modern scientific observations, and hence is considered to be the benchmark event for space weather. The magnetic storm caused worldwide observations of auroras even at very low latitudes such as Hawaii, Panama, or Santiago, and the available magnetic field measurement at Bombay, India, showed two peaks: the main was the Carrington event which occurred in day time in East Asia, and a second storm after the Carrington event which occurred at night in East Asia. In this paper, we present a result from surveys of aurora records in East Asia, which provides new information of the aurora activity of this important event. We found some new East Asian records of low latitude aurora observations caused by the storm which occurred after the Carrington event. The size of the aurora belt of the second peak of the Carrington magnetic storm was even wider than usual low-latitude aurora events.

Valuation of The Benefits of Out-Door Recreation Using the Travel Cost Method: The Case of Wabi-Shebele Langano Recreation Site
Creators: name: Enyew, Sitotaw
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2003

description: Out door recreation is a human activity that increases visitors' utility. The demand for outdoor recreation has been increasing with the increase in population, income and mobility. There is, however, limited natural and financial resource for the provision of outdoor recreation. Thus, there is a need to have a quantitative estimate of economic benefit of outdoor recreation site so as to properly and efficiently allocate scarce resources. It is also important to estimate how much value people attach to the site in order to demonstrate how the Wabi Shebele Langano recreation site managers can extract revenue out of the excess benefit and improve the qualities of the recreation experience and expand the types and varieties of the services. Individual Travel Cost Method (ITCM) is employed to measure the recreational economic benefits from Wabi Shebele Langano recreaton site. ITCM is preferred to Zonal TCM because almost all visitors of Wabi Shebele Langano recreation area come from one area, i.e. Addis Ababa, though there are some foreigners who come from abroad as well as few visitors who visit the site as they pass-by. In the selection of a model we have taken into account the fact that number of visits, which is the dependent variable, is truncated. In this study, travel costs, visitors' income, age, level of education, family size, acquaintance with the site, experience on other similar sites and being the head of the family were found to be major determinants of visits to the site. Using truncated Poisson model, the annual recreational benefit of the site was estimated to be Birr8, 685,774(USD 1,009,974) implying that the site authorities collected 20.87% of this sum.Therefore, this quantitative valuation may help policy makers make policy-oriented decisions on the area for better planning and management of the environmental resources. Furthermore, the study could inspire other researchers to do rigorous research work on the area. Key words: Recreational benefit; Travel cost method; Truncated model

description: We address the question as to whether data for J/ψmesons produced exclusively in the forward direction at the LHC can be used in global parton analyses (based on collinear factorization) to pin down the low x gluon PDF. We show that it may be possible to overcome the problems that (i) the process is described by a skewed or Generalized Parton Distribution (GPD), (ii) it is very sensitive to the choice of factorization scale and (iii) there is bad LO, NLO,... perturbative stability to the predictions. However, we start by briefly explaining how the alternative k_T factorization approach has been used to describe the process.

Entrepreneurial Intention of Undergraduate Students: Impacts of Attitudes and Role Model. (in Case Of College Of Business and Economics of Addis Ababa University)
Creators: name: Asfawu, Abebe
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: It has always been the interest of our government to promote entrepreneurship and new venture in business as a mean to enhance economic growth for the nation and creating jobs to help to solve the problem of unemployment. There are many university graduates that are languishing at home. Not all graduates are equal in the fierce battle for jobs. This study aimed to examine the impact of entrepreneurial education, role model and attitude on students' entrepreneurial intentions in Addis Ababa University and also to determine the motivators, and obstacles to entrepreneurial intentions. The sample size for the study is 210 comprising of 164 males and 46 females. In the study, both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. Primary data was obtained using questionnaires and Secondary data was also collected from books, journals, past research works, official documents and the internet. Simple random sampling was used to select proportional number of samples from the study area. Data were analysed using percentages, regression and correlation. . The study has also focused on examining how many Addis Ababa University students possess the entrepreneurial intention towards self-employment, how the relationship of demographic factors affecting their entrepreneurial intention. However, training and skill development programs are necessary to increase the personal capabilities and generate interest and intention among students to have positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship. This survey has also confirmed that the male persons at their prime age of 20-25 years old continue to be the most active group in terms of entrepreneurship and the role of entrepreneurial role models in the family has a positive effect on the entrepreneurial perception and intentions This paper suggests that there should be continuous effort to promote female entrepreneurship and continuous effort from university to work closely with a variety of business support agencies or other government agencies to raise students' awareness of various avenues of support and programs available to assist them in their business start-ups.

description: In this paper we study cosmological signatures of modified gravity theories that can be written as a coupling between a extra scalar field and the electromagnetic part of the usual Lagrangian for the matter fields. In these frameworks all the electromagnetic sector of the theory is affected and variations of fundamental constants, of the cosmic distance duality relation and of the evolution law of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) are expected and are related each other. In order to search these variations we perform jointly analyses with angular diameter distances of galaxy clusters, luminosity distances of type Ia supernovae and $T_{CMB}(z)$ measurements. We obtain tight constraints with no indication of violation of the standard framework.

Aspiration and Activism: Middle Power Behavior During International Power Shifts

description: This study investigates the relationship between international power shifts and middle power behavior in foreign policy. I argue that, in times of changing global power dynamics, internal and external variables come together to create an environment conducive to heightened middle power activism. I assess how domestic politics condition the foreign policies of middle powers during power shifts. The degree of foreign policy activism, and whether it is benign or revisionist, are contingent on domestic political conditions. Middle powers and states that are aspirant to middle power status are more likely to take on more offensive foreign policies if they are facing domestic economic and political challenges at the time of the global power shift. I find evidence that states are more likely to initiate use of force in environments of strategic rivalry when they are facing domestic turmoil, and scrutinize how strategic rivalries affect middle power behavior during shifts. I also conduct a case study on Turkey, focusing on three different time frames, to demonstrate the impact of domestic politics and power shifts on foreign policy activism.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The purpose of this research is to assess the existing warehousing practices of Finfine Furniture Factory (3F). The researcher prefers to use a descriptive research type, which helps to use both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Furthermore, from the point of view of time, the research is one-time research (cross-sectional) research. The target population is 70 employees and they were taken using purposive sampling methods. Questionnaires, interview, as well as observation were used to collect primary data. The researcher were validate the research by pilot testing of the questionnaires through distributing the questionnaires for some staff members of the company who involved in warehousing practices as well as check the validity of the interview questions via conducting a pre-interview to a few staff members the company. Then, the collected data were analyzed by using IBM SPSS statistics 22, such as percentages, frequencies, mean and standard deviation and the analyzed data were presented in tables and charts. The findings showed that, in its current form, the warehousing practices of the case company can be divided according to the five warehousing activity which is: Receiving, Put-way, Storage, Order picking, and Shipping. Moreover, results of the study revealed that even though respondents rating as a moderate or a little bit above the company overall warehousing practices, there are also so many various challenges in performing those warehousing activity: lack of adequate warehousing facility, lack of information technology infrastructures, lack of training, lack of manpower (labor) and warehousing personnel"s. Moreover, there are also key issues; cube utilization, aisles width, and excess inventory and how the case company strive to maximize their storage space and the utilization of airspaces. Despite the limitation, the study is believed to create awareness about the concept, principle and practices of warehouse management in the case company. Thus, the Government of Ethiopia, academicians and other concerned organizations which assist Ethiopia in its effort to reduce poverty and foster development should assist the sector by providing/sponsoring effective warehouse management training for business leaders and investors so that the firms will increase their competitiveness in global marketplace, contribute to the economic development of the country and environmental sustainability
Searching for cosmological signatures of the Einstein equivalence principle breaking

description: Modifications of gravity generated by a multiplicative coupling of a scalar field to the electromagnetic Lagrangian lead to a breaking of Einstein equivalence principle (EEPB) as well as to variations of fundamental constants. In these theoretical frameworks, deviations of standard values of the fine structure constant, $Δα/α=ϕ$, and of the cosmic distance duality relation, $D_L(1+z)^{-2}/D_A=η=1$, where $D_L$ and $D_A$ are the luminosity and angular diameter distances, respectively, are unequivocally linked. In this paper, we search for cosmological signatures of the EEPB by using angular diameter distance from galaxy clusters, obtained via their Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) and X-ray observations, and distance modulus of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). The crucial point here is that we take into account the dependence of the SZE/X-ray technique with $ϕ$ and $η$. Our new results show no indication of the EEPB.

Static hyperpolarizability of space-fractional quantum systems
Creators: name: Dawson, Nathan J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The nonlinear response is investigated for a space-fractional quantum mechanical system subject to a static electric field. Expressions for the polarizability and hyperpolarizability are derived from the fractional Schrödinger equation in the particle-centric view for a three-level model constrained by the generalized Thomas-Rieke-Kuhn sum rule matrix elements. These expressions resemble those for a semi-relativistic system, where the reduction of the maximum linear and nonlinear static response is attributed to the functional dependence of the canonical position and momentum commutator. As examples, a clipped quantum harmonic oscillator potential and slant well potential are studied. The linear and first nonlinear response to the perturbing field are shown to decrease as the space fractionality is moved further below unity, which is caused by a suppression of the dipole transition moments. These results illustrate the importance of dimensionality and the order of the kinetic momentum operator which affect the strength of a system's optical response.

description: Rural life near the city? In all larger German cities, urban expansion has greatly changed the peripheral areas since 70 years. In Hanover, where suburbanisation took place along major infrastructure axes, 10 small villages close to the city have survived to this day. Only partly characterised by cultural heritage and agricultural functions, they have already functionally become parts of the city—almost hidden in the general perception. The aim of WESTSIDE STORY is to discover these villages and develop narratives for their future, as liveable, attractive places, with new spatial and social density, which actively contribute to the increased demand for living and working space in the Hannover conurbation.

description: The so-called "optimal filter" analysis of a microcalorimeter's x-ray pulses is statistically optimal only if all pulses have the same shape, regardless of energy. The shapes of pulses from a nonlinear detector can and do depend on the pulse energy, however. A pulse-fitting procedure that we call "tangent filtering" accounts for the energy dependence of the shape and should therefore achieve superior energy resolution. We take a geometric view of the pulse-fitting problem and give expressions to predict how much the energy resolution stands to benefit from such a procedure. We also demonstrate the method with a case study of K-line fluorescence from several 3d transition metals. The method improves the resolution from 4.9 eV to 4.2 eV at the Cu K$α$ line (8.0keV).

Does the velocity of light depend on the source movement?

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

description: Data from spacecrafts tracking exhibit many anomalies that suggest the dependence of the speed of electromagnetic radiation with the motion of its source. This dependence is different from that predicted from emission theories that long ago have been demonstrated to be wrong. By relating the velocity of light and the corresponding Doppler effect with the velocity of the source at the time of detection, instead of the time of emission, it is possible to explain quantitatively and qualitatively the spacecraft anomalies. Also, a formulation of electromagnetism compatible with this conception is possible (and also compatible with the known electromagnetic phenomena). Under this theory the influence of the velocity of the source in the speed of light is somewhat subtle in many practical situations and probably went unnoticed in other phenomena.

Macroeconomic Effects of Foreign Aid in Ethiopia Using Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model
Creators: name: Kahsay, Nguse
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Macroeconomic effects of foreign aid depend on how it affects savings, investment and government behaviour. The study used recursive dynamic general equilibrium (DCGE), auto regressive distributed lag model approach to cointegration (ARDL) and vivid three gap based descriptive reports aiming to find out the preponderant effect. The data used in descrptive analysis and ARDL were collected from World Bank, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and International Monetary Fund data bases. DCGE requires social accounting matrix (SAM) and that was obtained from Ethiopian Development Research Institute (EDRI). The SAM was built in 2005 and updated its key accounts in 20091. Using recursive DCGE, the study shows that aid inflow can result in export reduction and exchange rate appreciation. But, it leads to higher gevernemt revenue, expenditure and savings. Aid"s effect in total absorption and gross domestic product is not discernible. Thus, the study"s results are ambiguous to generalize. The long run results of the ARDL model also show significant positive relationship between national income and domestic savings. However, the relationsip between Development Assistance Committee (DAC)-aid inflow and domestic savings is significantly inverse2.1 The recursive feature of the model ensures generation of SAM in years when SAM was not actually collected. 2 A 1 unit increment in DAC-aid inflow results in 0.5 unit reduction in domestic savings.

The experimental Gothic: the mad scientist and the horrors of unexceptionality
Creators: name: Midgett, Matthew
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: This thesis analyzes the figure of the mad scientist as they exist within Victorian works of Gothic fiction. At the end of the 19th century, there was frequent interaction between the literary and scientific communities in Britain and through this relationship developed landmark works such as Emile Zola’s The Experimental Novel. This thesis is concerned with understanding late-19th century Gothic tales as examples of experimental fiction. Within these works of experimental Gothic, the characters themselves conduct experiments, beginning with observation as understood through Michel Foucault’s clinical gaze. In each of these tales, the bourgeois protagonist begins with complete faith in both the reality and power of their clinical gaze. By contextualizing the specific instances of observation that occur within each tale with regards to the observation-based pseudosciences that flourished during the Victorian era and the economic factors that necessitated such pseudosciences, I argue that the tales ultimately dismantle the myth of the powerful clinical gaze right before each protagonist’s eyes. The clinical gaze— and the bourgeoisie who benefit from such a mode of observation— is exposed as not the natural mode of digesting and interacting with the world but a weapon of capitalism bent on erecting boundaries through labor, class, and humanity in its entirety. The introduction to this thesis focuses on constructing the theoretical framework from which the two following chapters are built. The first chapter analyzes Robert Louis Stevenson’s short story The Body Snatcher, establishing the ways the clinical gaze and the mechanisms of capitalism, work in conjunction to bolster the myth of bourgeois exceptionality. The second chapter, dealing first with Stevenson’s novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and later with H. G. Well’s The Island of Dr Moreau, considers each work as compared to Victorian criminal anthropology writing, outlining each protagonist’s shift from such a mindset to the horrific reality of both class and human unexceptionality. All three of these tales work to unveil the false realities presented by the mechanisms of capitalism as a means to construct harmful boundaries which are ultimately created in order to best regulate labor.

Urban agriculture and critical environmental justice: a case study of gardens and growers in Philadelphia and Camden
Creators: name: Jackson, Kathryn L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Environmental injustice weighs upon urban communities that have suffered decades of disinvestment. The persistence of structural inequalities, pollution, Covid-19, racial violence, food inaccessibility, and climate change have created unprecedented inequities for communities of color, who are more likely to be exposed to environmental inequities and to experience disparities in health, income, and wellbeing. In the last two decades, urban agriculture (UA) has become both a revitalization tool used by policy makers and a form of grassroots resistance for communities impacted by disinvestment and dispossession. While research about the health benefits of UA is abundant, scholars and activists are calling for an analysis of both the practice and study of UA that includes race and structural inequality. This dissertation asks specifically, how do race and inequality show up in UA in terms of access to land, funding, support, and outcomes? Using in-depth interviews, participant observation, GIS mapping and a case study of growing spaces in Camden and Philadelphia, this dissertation connects Environmental Justice (EJ) scholarship and Urban Agriculture (UA) and highlights the act of “resistance farming” utilizing Critical Race Theory (CRT), to center UA around race and structural inequality as EJ. The in depth case studies of growing spaces reveal 1) a typology of urban agriculture with sharp differences along racial lines in terms of motivations for growing and relationships between community and land, 2) inequities in political power, and access, highlighting the negative impact of whitespace on policy, program development, and access to resources including land, and 3) ways in which growers are organizing for the collective good and creating space that confronts and rectifies the slow violence of racism and redevelopment. These findings provide a more robust understanding of the impact of structural racism and cumulative environmental impacts, calling attention to the wounds and traumas of racism but also the ways in which communities are organizing, resisting, healing, and growing, to move us forward in equity and environmental health. This study elevates and celebrates the wisdom of radical growers , connecting movements for land, food, environmental, and racial justice to advance a conceptual framework of Critical Urban Agroecological Restoration.

description: Quantum phase transitions also occur in non-Hermitian systems. In this work we show that density functional theory, for the first time, uncovers universal behaviors for phase transitions in non-Hermitian many-body systems. To be specific, we first prove that the non-degenerate steady state of a non-Hermitian quantum many-body system is a universal function of the first derivative of the steady state energy with respect to the control parameter. This finding has far-reaching consequences for non-Hermitian systems: (i) It bridges the nonanalytic behavior in physical observable and nonanalytic behavior of steady state energy, which explains why the quantum phase transitions in non-Hermitian systems occur for finite systems. (ii) It predicts universal scaling behaviors of any physical observable at non-Hermitian phase transition point with scaling exponent being $(1-1/p),2(1-1/p),\cdots,n(1-1/p),\cdots$ with $p$ being the number of coalesced states at the exceptional point and $n$ being a positive integer. (iii). It reveals that quantum entanglement in non-Hermitian phase transition point presents universal scaling behaviors with critical exponents being $(1-1/p),2(1-1/p),\cdots,n(1-1/p),\cdots$. These results uncover universal critical behaviors in non-Hermitian phase transitions and provide profound connections between entanglement and phase transition in non-Hermitian quantum many-body physics and establish foundations for quantum metrology in non-Hermitian systems.

description: Employee performance appraisal is one of the most commonly used management tools in organizations irrespective of their type, size and objective. Performance appraisal is one of the most widely researched areas in industrial/organizational psychology. However, the traditional research agenda has done little to improve the usefulness of performance appraisal as a managerial tool. Recent research has moved away from studies of rater accuracy and rating instruments to themes of employee reactions towards performance appraisal as indicators of system satisfaction and efficiency. Employee attitude towards performance appraisal has been studied as a significant factor in employee acceptance and satisfaction of performance appraisal. This study investigated the attitude and reactions of employees towards the overall performance appraisal system as well as its major component parts such as standard setting, appraisal instrument, feedback, and appeal procedure in Bank of Abyssinia. Data were obtained via a questionnaire from 75 participants in the head office and four branches of the bank. An interview was also made with some 10 key personnel of the bank particularly with employees working in Administration and Human Resource department The findings of the study indicated that respondents perceived the performance appraisal system as an unfair and a system which cannot accurately measure their job related performance. Respondents also indicated their dissatisfaction with standard setting, and performance rating instrument used by the organization, The respondents indicated their relative satisfaction with feedback aspect of performance appraisal. Satisfaction was indicated with the appeal procedure of the performance appraisal of the organization.
Polynomial potentials determined from the energy spectrum and transition dipole moments that give the largest hyperpolarizabilities

description: We attempt to get a polynomial solution to the inverse problem, that is, to determine the form of the mechanical Hamiltonian when given the energy spectrum and transition dipole moment matrix. Our approach is to determine the potential in the form of a polynomial by finding an approximate solution to the inverse problem, then to determine the hyperpolarizability for that system's Hamiltonian. We find that the largest hyperpolarizabilities approach the apparent limit of previous potential optimization studies, but we do not find real potentials for the parameter values necessary to exceed this apparent limit. We also explore half potentials with positive exponent, which cannot be expressed as a polynomial except for integer powers. This yields a simple closed potential with only one parameter that scans nearly the full range of the intrinsic hyperpolarizability. The limiting case of vanishing exponent yields the largest intrinsic hyperpolarizability.

description: Determining whether two cells have the same genotype is a key problem in forensic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis using electropherograms (EPGs). Single-cell extraction of DNA has become more practical in recent years and holds promise in reducing the complexity of downstream data interpretation. Clustering of EPG data is a potential way to aid downstream interpretation. We explore many clustering techniques. The clustering methods that meet certain criteria are selected for further experiments with combinations of sample types and parameters including two proposed per-locus feature transformations. The best performing clusterers form cluster ensembles for further testing. Clustering performances are measured and compared to the baseline Mclust using $L^{1}$-norm. For EPGs from saliva samples, the best clusterer using affinity propagation scores 39\% higher in metrics mean and the best clusterer using mean-shift scores 528\% higher in perfect clustering for unfiltered data; whereas Mclust using $L^{2}$-norm scores 3\% higher in metrics mean and the best clusterer using HDBSCAN scores 43\% higher in perfect clustering for highpass-filtered data. For EPGs from blood samples, Mclust using $L^{1}$-norm is the best in metrics mean and Mclust using $L^{2}$-norm scores 2\% higher in perfect clustering for unfiltered data; and Mclust using $L^{1}$-norm is the best in metrics mean and in perfect clustering for highpass-filtered data. For EPGs from all samples, the best clusterer using BIRCH scores 1\% higher in metrics mean and Mclust using $L^{2}$-norm scores 4\% higher in perfect clustering for unfiltered data; and Mclust using $L^{1}$-norm is the best in metrics mean and in perfect clustering for highpass-filtered data. Whereas various clusterers in the experiments perform better on saliva samples, the Mclust clusterers mostly perform better on blood samples and mixtures of both. Cluster ensembles as tested do not show better performances than individual clusterers, although the MCLA ensembles may be useful in providing consensus results in real use cases when which clusterer performs best is generally unknowable.
