Neonatal Survival in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: S/Mariam, Yodit
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 1995

description: Neonatal mortality is estimated to be high in many developing countries but, very few studies were conducted in this area. To illucidate the magnitude of neonatal mortality and identify its determinants, a descriptive cross sectional study on a cohort of newborns was carried out in Addis Ababa health institutions between November 8 to January 19 1994. A total of 1334 newborns participated in the study . Baseline information on the risk behavior of the mother and child characteristics were recorded just after delivery. Then follow up interview were carried out by visiting each neonate at home on the 7th and 28th day . In this study the prevalence of neonatal mortality was found to be 71.9 per 1000 live birth with early and late neonatal mortality of 50 . 9 and 20.9 live birth respectively. LOW birth weight babies, premature babies and babies born from mothers who were not family planning users were found to be at higher risk of neonatal death using both bi variate and multi - variate analysis. The study concluded neonatal mortality is very high and strengthening of neonatal care facilities and further study to determine the prevalence rate of neonatal mortality among home deliveries are recommended

description: The demagnetization and associated magnetocaloric effect in strong-weak-strong ferromagnetic trilayers, upon a reorientation of the strong ferromagnets from parallel to antiparallel magnetization, is simulated using atomistic spin dynamics. The simulations yield non-trivial spin distributions in the antiparallel state, which in turn allows entropy to be calculated directly. Empirical functional forms are obtained for the magnetization distribution in the spacer, differing significantly from some of the commonly used models. Finally, we find that the magnetocaloric effect in the system can be significantly improved by allowing the local exchange to vary through the spacer, which in practice can be implemented by spatially tailoring the spacer's magnetic dilution.

description: This paper uses data from thirty-three on-farm experiments to explore the use of electrical conductivity (EC) for defining seeding and nitrogen rates for corn production. We estimate the yield response to nitrogen and seeding rates, including an interaction term with EC for each of the trial years. We then determine the optimal uniform and variables rates and compare the profits. If EC can be used on different fields and years, then the correlation between EC and the optimal rates should be consistent across fields and years. We find that the optimal variables rates do not produce profits above $5 an acre for the majority of the fields. Additionally, in different years on the same field, the high EC areas may require more or less of the inputs. The inconsistency of the relationship between EC and the optimal rates does not enable EC to be accurately used for variable rate applications across different growing years. While EC will continue to be important in detecting salt affected soils and can be calibrated for detection of specific soil elements, the use of EC for variable-rate input management is not recommended.

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: We prove time decay of solutions to the Muskat equation in 2D and in 3D. In \cite{JEMS} and \cite{CCGRPS}, the authors introduce the norms $\|f\|_{s}(t)= \int_{\mathbb{R}^{2}} |ξ|^{s}|\hat{f}(ξ)| \ dξ$ in order to prove global existence of solutions to the Muskat problem. In this paper, for the 3D Muskat problem, given initial data $f_{0}\in H^{l}(\mathbb{R}^{2})$ for some $l\geq 3$ such that $\|f_{0}\|_{1} < k_{0}$ for a constant $k_{0} \approx 1/5$, we prove uniform in time bounds of $\|f\|_{s}(t)$ for $-d < s < l-1$ and assuming $\|f_{0}\|_ν < \infty$ we prove time decay estimates of the form $\|f\|_{s}(t) \lesssim (1+t)^{-s+ν}$ for $0 \leq s \leq l-1$ and $-d \leq ν< s$. These large time decay rates are the same as the optimal rate for the linear Muskat equation. We also prove analogous results in 2D.

description: The ultraviolet (UV) continuum slope ($β~$where$~f_λ\proptoλ^β$) of galaxies is sensitive to a variety of properties, from the metallicity and age of the stellar population to dust attenuation throughout the galaxy. Considerable attention has focused on identifying reionization-era galaxies with very blue UV slopes ($β<-3$). Not only do such systems provide a signpost of low-metallicity stars, but they also identify galaxies likely to leak ionizing photons from their HII regions as such blue UV slopes require the reddening effect of nebular continuum to be diminished. In this paper we present a search for reionization-era galaxies with very blue UV colors in recent JWST/NIRCam imaging of the EGS field. We characterize UV slopes for a large sample of$~z\simeq7-11~$galaxies, finding a median of$~β=-2.0$. Two lower luminosity (M$_{\rm{UV}}\simeq-19.5$) and lower stellar mass (6-10$\times10^7$M$_\odot$) systems exhibit extremely blue UV slopes ($β=-2.9~$to$~-3.1$) and rest-optical photometry indicating weak nebular line emission. Each system is very compact (r$_e\lesssim$260pc) with very high star-formation-rate surface densities. We model the SEDs with a suite of BEAGLE models with varying levels of ionizing photon escape. The SEDs cannot be reproduced with our fiducial (f$_{\rm{esc,HII}}$=0) or alpha-enhanced (Z$_\star7$.

description: We present an algorithm for the classification of triples of lattice polytopes with a given mixed volume m in dimension 3. It is known that the classification can be reduced to the enumeration of so-called irreducible triples, the number of which is finite for fixed m. Following this algorithm, we enumerate all irreducible triples of normalized mixed volume up to 4 that are inclusion-maximal. This produces a classification of generic trivariate sparse polynomial systems with up to 4 solutions in the complex torus, up to monomial changes of variables. By a recent result of Esterov, this leads to a description of all generic trivariate sparse polynomial systems that are solvable by radicals.

description: Gas turbine film cooling strategies must provide adequate cooling performance under high levels of mainstream turbulence. Detailed information about the structure, dynamics and transport of the cooling films is needed to understand the flow physics and develop suitable numerical simulation tools. Here, we study film cooling flows in a wind tunnel with mainstream turbulence generated by an active turbulence grid. Gas temperature and velocity fields are measured using a laser-imaging method based on thermographic phosphor tracer particles. By replacing the previously used tracer BaMgAl10O17: Eu2+ with ZnO, significant gains in accuracy and precision could be achieved. The increased sensitivity (~ 1%/K) of ZnO led to a threefold improvement in the single-shot, single-pixel temperature precision to ± 5 K. The smaller particle size (dp,v ~ 600 nm) and agglomerated nanoparticle structure also reduced the tracing response time to ~ 5 μs allowing accurate tracking of turbulent fluctuations approaching 10 kHz. Moreover, no uncertainty arising from multiple scattering effects were observed using ZnO particles in this enclosed wind tunnel geometry at an estimated average seeding density of 2 × 1011 particles/m3. Timeaverage, fluctuation and single-shot temperature–velocity fields are presented for two mainstream turbulence levels ( u /um= 7% and 14%) and two momentum ratios (IR = 4.7 and 9.3) at a fixed density ratio of 1.55. These flow conditions produce a cooling jet which is detached from the surface. High main flow turbulence causes faster mixing with the surrounding hot gas, increasing the wall-normal spreading of the cooling jet. The instantaneous flow fields show that mainstream turbulence has a significant effect on the shear layer velocity fluctuations and consequently on the streamwise and wall-normal turbulent heat flux, which is derived from the simultaneously acquired temperature–velocity data. We found that high mainstream turbulence reduces the heat flux away from the wall, suggesting that mainstream turbulence can act to diminish cooling performance. Sets of instantaneous measurements recorded at a 6 kHz repetition rate also reveal the dynamic interactions between the main flow turbulence and the cooling jet. These findings and the recorded data can be used to advance turbulence modelling for numerical simulations.

description: Background : Mother -to- child transmission of HIV infection is the major source of infection under the age of 15 and global coverage of prevention of mother-to-child services reached 53% in 2009 .However, factors that influence utilization of PMTCT service and referral linkage to chronic ART clinic for HIV positive pregnant women are not well studied in Hawassa town. Objective: To assess factors that influence utilization of PMTCT service and referral linkage to chronic care before delivery in HIV positive pregnant women. Methods: Facility based cross sectional study was conducted in 6 Hawassa town public health facilities. Using systematic sampling procedure 588 study subject were included in the study. Indepth interview was also used to gather greater depth of information. A pretested structured questioner was used to collect data and the data analyzed using SPSS version 17. Moreover, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression model with crude and adjusted OR along with their 95% confidence interval were used to see the independent effect of factors influencing utilization of PMTCT service. Results: A total number of 588 pregnant women were included in this study. Five hundred thirty one (90.3%) of the respondents reported they had under gone voluntary counseling and testing and 522(98.67%) of those who were tested received the test result and Four hundred ninety nine (95.6%) were negative and twenty three (4.4%) were positive. Out of 23 women who were positive HIV status twenty women were linked to chronic ART care service 12 of them with formal referral linkage and eight of with non-formal and nine of those who were linked to chronic ART care service started HAART while seven started ARV prophylaxis. Pregnant women who were two or more number of ANC attendance were more likely to utilize PMTCT service when compared to other sources [AOR=2.99% CI=1.44, 6.23]. The pregnant women believed that their husbands support couple testing were associated with utilization of PMTCT service [AOR=16.2,95% CI= 6.58, 39.67].The pregnant women who support the idea of every pregnant should be tested also associated with utilization of PMTCT service [AOR=9.86, 95% CI=3.67, 26.51]. Conclusion: partner involvement, increasing access of women to VCT, community based education and sensitization targeted to the women and promoting PMTCT service to all facility and improving referral system and getting feedback between facilities will create good referral system between facilities is recommended.

description: Machine learning techniques based on neural networks are achieving remarkable results in a wide variety of domains. Often, the training of models requires large, representative datasets, which may be crowdsourced and contain sensitive information. The models should not expose private information in these datasets. Addressing this goal, we develop new algorithmic techniques for learning and a refined analysis of privacy costs within the framework of differential privacy. Our implementation and experiments demonstrate that we can train deep neural networks with non-convex objectives, under a modest privacy budget, and at a manageable cost in software complexity, training efficiency, and model quality.

description: Explainable AI (XAI) is currently a vibrant research topic. However, the absence of ground truth explanations makes it difficult to evaluate XAI systems such as Explainable Search. We present an Explainable Search system with a focus on evaluating the XAI aspect of Trustworthiness along with the retrieval performance. We present SIMFIC 2.0 (Similarity in Fiction), an enhanced version of a recent [1] explainable search system. The system retrieves books similar to a selected book in a query-by-example setting. The motivation is to explain the notion of similarity in fiction books. We extract hand-crafted interpretable features for fiction books and provide global explanations by fitting a linear regression and local explanations based on similarity measures. The Trustworthiness facet is evaluated using user studies, while the ranking performance is compared by analysis of user clicks. Eye tracking is used to investigate user attention to the explanation elements when interacting with the interface. Initial experiments show statistically significant results on the Trustworthiness of the system, paving way for interesting research directions that are being investigated.

description: We investigate how GWs pass through the spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole using time-domain numerical simulations. Our work is based on the perturbed 3+1 Einstein's equations up to the linear order. We show explicitly that our perturbation equations are covariant under infinitesimal coordinate transformations. Then we solve a symmetric second-order hyperbolic wave equation with a spatially varying wave speed. As the wave speed in our wave equation vanishes at the horizon, our formalism can naturally avoid boundary conditions at the horizon. Our formalism also does not contain coordinate singularities and, therefore, does not need regularity conditions. Then, based on our code, we simulate both finite and continuous initially plane-fronted wave trains passing through the Schwarzschild black hole. We find that for the finite wave train, the wave zone of GWs is wildly twisted by the black hole. While for the continuous wave train, unlike geometric optics, GWs can not be sheltered by the back hole. A strong beam and an interference pattern appear behind the black hole along the optical axis. Moreover, we find that the back-scattering due to the interaction between GWs and the background curvature is strongly dependent on the direction of the propagation of the trailing wavefront relative to the black hole. Finally, for a realistic input waveform generated by binary black holes, we find that the lensed waveform in the merger and ringdown phases is much longer than that of the input waveform due to the effect of back-scattering.

Theoretical framework bridging classical and quantum mechanics for the dynamics of cryogenic liquid helium-4 using smoothed-particle hydrodynamics

description: Our recent study suggested that a fully classical mechanical approximation of the two-fluid model of superfluid helium-4 based on smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is equivalent to solving a many-body quantum mechanical equation under specific conditions. This study further verifies the existence of this equivalence. First, we derived the SPH form of the motion equation for the superfluid component of the two-fluid model, i.e., the motion equation driven by the chemical potential gradient obtained using the Gibbs-Duhem equation. We then derived the SPH form of the motion equation for condensates based on the Gross-Pitaevskii theory, i.e., the motion equation driven by the chemical potential gradient obtained from the Schrodinger equation of interacting bosons. Following this, we compared the two discretized equations. Consequently, we discovered that a condition maintaining zero internal energy for each fluid particle ensures the equivalence of the equations when the quantum pressure is negligible. Moreover, their equivalence holds even when the quantum pressure is nonnegligible if the quantum pressure gradient force equals the mutual friction force. A zero internal energy indicates the thermodynamic ground state, which includes an elementary excitation state. Therefore, the condition can be sufficiently satisfied when the velocities of fluid particles do not exceed the Landau critical velocity, which is not a stringent condition for simulations with a characteristic velocity of a few cms-1 in a laboratory system. Based on the above, we performed a simulation of rotating liquid helium-4 and succeeded in generating a vortex lattice with quantized circulation, known as a quantum lattice.

description: Modern code review (MCR) processes are prevalent in most organizations that develop software due to benefits in quality assurance and knowledge transfer. With the rise of collaborative software development platforms like GitHub and Bitbucket, today, millions of projects share not only their code but also their review data. Although researchers have tried to exploit this data for more than a decade, most of that knowledge remains a buried treasure. A crucial catalyst for many advances in deep learning, however, is the accessibility of large-scale standard datasets for different learning tasks. This paper presents the ETCR (Exploit Those Code Reviews!) infrastructure for mining MCR datasets from any GitHub project practicing pull-request-based development. We demonstrate its effectiveness with ETCR-Elasticsearch, a dataset of >231𝑘 review comments for >47𝑘 Java file revisions in >40𝑘 pull-requests from the Elasticsearch project. ETCR is designed with the challenge of deep learning in mind. Compared to previous datasets, ETCR datasets include all information for linking review comments to nodes in the respective program’s Abstract Syntax Tree.
A proposed paradigm for solar cycle dynamics mediated via turbulent pumping of magnetic flux in Babcock-Leighton type solar dynamos

description: At present, Babcock-Leighton flux transport solar dynamo models appear as the most promising model for explaining diverse observational aspects of the sunspot cycle. The success of these flux transport dynamo models is largely dependent upon a single-cell meridional circulation with a deep equatorward component at the base of the Sun's convection zone. However, recent observations suggest that the meridional flow may in fact be very shallow (confined to the top 10 % of the Sun) and more complex than previously thought. Taken together these observations raise serious concerns on the validity of the flux transport paradigm. By accounting for the turbulent pumping of magnetic flux as evidenced in magnetohydrodynamic simulations of solar convection, we demonstrate that flux transport dynamo models can generate solar-like magnetic cycles even if the meridional flow is shallow. Solar-like periodic reversals is recovered even when meridional circulation is altogether absent, however, in this case the solar surface magnetic field dynamics does not extend all the way to the polar regions. Very importantly, our results demonstrate that the Parker-Yoshimura sign rule for dynamo wave propagation can be circumvented in Babcock-Leighton dynamo models by the latitudinal component of turbulent pumping -- which can generate equatorward propagating sunspot belts in the absence of a deep, equatorward meridional flow. We also show that variations in turbulent pumping coefficients can modulate the solar cycle amplitude and periodicity. Our results suggest the viability of an alternate magnetic flux transport paradigm -- mediated via turbulent pumping -- for sustaining solar-stellar dynamo action.

description: In this paper we construct an exact spherically symmetric black hole solution with a power Yang-Mills (YM) source in the context of $4D$ Einstein Gauss-Bonnet gravity ($4D$ EGB). We choose our source as $(F_{μν}^{(a)}F^{μν(a)})^q$, where $q$ is an arbitrary positive real number. Thereafter we study the horizon structure, thermodynamic issues like thermal stability and black hole phase transition of this black hole solution. Our focus here is to analyse the black hole space-time under the net non-linear effect coming both from the gravitational sector (due to Gauss-Bonnet term) as well as from the gauge fields (the power of Yang-Mills field invariant) in $4$-dimensions. We evaluate some extended thermodynamic quantities such as pressure, temperature, entropy in order to establish the form of the Smarr formula and the first law of thermodynamics. The behaviour of heat capacity as a function of horizon radius is thoroughly studied to understand the thermal stability of the black hole solution. An interesting phenomena of existence/ absence of thermal phase transition occur due to the nonlinearity of YM source. For some values of the parameters, we find that the solution exhibits a first-order phase transition, like a van der Waals fluid. In addition, we also verify Maxwell's equal area law numerically by crucial analysis of Gibbs free energy as a function of temperature. Moreover, the critical exponents are derived and showed the universality class of the scaling behaviour of thermodynamic quantities near criticality.

Green-Schwarz superstring on doubled-yet-gauged spacetime

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We construct a world-sheet action for Green-Schwarz superstring in terms of doubled-yet-gauged spacetime coordinates. For an arbitrarily curved NS-NS background, the action possesses $\mathbf{O}(10,10)$ T-duality, $\mathbf{Spin}(1,9)\times\mathbf{Spin}(9,1)$ Lorentz symmetry, coordinate gauge symmetry, spacetime doubled-yet-gauged diffeomorphisms, world-sheet diffeomorphisms and Weyl symmetry. Further, restricted to flat backgrounds, it enjoys maximal spacetime supersymmetry and kappa-symmetry. After the auxiliary coordinate gauge symmetry potential being integrated out, our action can consistently reduce to the original undoubled Green-Schwarz action. Thanks to the twofold spin groups, the action is unique: it is specific choices of the NS-NS backgrounds that distinguish IIA or IIB, as well as lead to non-Riemannian or non-relativistic superstring a la Gomis-Ooguri which might deserve the nomenclature, type IIC.

description: We address the problem of facial expression analysis. The proposed approach predicts both basic emotion and valence/ arousal values as a continuous measure for the emotional state. Experimental results including cross-database evaluation on the AffectNet, Aff-Wild, and AFEW dataset shows that our approach predicts emotion categories and valence/arousal values with high accuracies and that the simultaneous learning of discrete categories and continuous values improves the prediction of both. In addition, we use our approach to measure the emotional states of users in an Human-Robot-Collaboration scenario (HRC), show how these emotional states are affected by multiple difficulties that arise for the test subjects, and examine how different feedback mechanisms counteract negative emotions users experience while interacting with a robot system.

description: We present lattice QCD calculations of valence parton distribution function (PDF) of pion employing next-to-next-leading-order (NNLO) perturbative QCD matching. Our calculations are based on three gauge ensembles of 2+1 flavor highly improved staggered quarks and Wilson--Clover valance quarks, corresponding to pion mass $m_π=140$~MeV at a lattice spacing $a=0.076$~fm and $m_π=300$~MeV at $a=0.04, 0.06$~fm. This enables us to present, for the first time, continuum-extrapolated lattice QCD results for NNLO valence PDF of the pion at the physical point. Applying leading-twist expansion for renormalization group invariant (RGI) ratios of bi-local pion matrix elements with NNLO Wilson coefficients we extract $2^{\mathrm{nd}}$, $4^{\mathrm{th}}$ and $6^{\mathrm{th}}$ Mellin moments of the PDF. We reconstruct the Bjorken-$x$ dependence of the NNLO PDF from real-space RGI ratios using a deep neural network (DNN) as well as from momentum-space matrix elements renormalized using a hybrid-scheme. All our results are in broad agreement with the results of global fits to the experimental data carried out by the xFitter and JAM collaborations.

description: The exploration of large-scale conflicts, as well as their causes and effects, is an important aspect of socio-political analysis. Since event data related to major conflicts are usually obtained from different sources, researchers developed a semi-automatic matching algorithm to integrate event data of different origins into one comprehensive dataset using hierarchical taxonomies. The validity of the corresponding integration results is not easy to assess since the results depend on user-defined input parameters and the relationships between the original data sources. However, only rudimentary visualization techniques have been used so far to analyze the results, allowing no trustworthy validation or exploration of how the final dataset is composed. To overcome this problem, we developed VEHICLE, a web-based tool to validate and explore the results of the hierarchical integration. For the design, we collaborated with a domain expert to identify the underlying domain problems and derive a task and workflow description. The tool combines both traditional and novel visual analysis techniques, employing statistical and map-based depictions as well as advanced interaction techniques. We showed the usefulness of VEHICLE in two case studies and by conducting an evaluation together with conflict researchers, confirming domain hypotheses and generating new insights.

description: Neural networks have proven effective for solving many difficult computational problems. Implementing complex neural networks in software is very computationally expensive. To explore the limits of information processing, it will be necessary to implement new hardware platforms with large numbers of neurons, each with a large number of connections to other neurons. Here we propose a hybrid semiconductor-superconductor hardware platform for the implementation of neural networks and large-scale neuromorphic computing. The platform combines semiconducting few-photon light-emitting diodes with superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors to behave as spiking neurons. These processing units are connected via a network of optical waveguides, and variable weights of connection can be implemented using several approaches. The use of light as a signaling mechanism overcomes fanout and parasitic constraints on electrical signals while simultaneously introducing physical degrees of freedom which can be employed for computation. The use of supercurrents achieves the low power density necessary to scale to systems with enormous entropy. The proposed processing units can operate at speeds of at least $20$ MHz with fully asynchronous activity, light-speed-limited latency, and power densities on the order of 1 mW/cm$^2$ for neurons with 700 connections operating at full speed at 2 K. The processing units achieve an energy efficiency of $\approx 20$ aJ per synapse event. By leveraging multilayer photonics with deposited waveguides and superconductors with feature sizes $>$ 100 nm, this approach could scale to systems with massive interconnectivity and complexity for advanced computing as well as explorations of information processing capacity in systems with an enormous number of information-bearing microstates.

Quasi-Integrability in Supersymmetric Sine-Gordon Models

description: The deformed supersymmetric sine-Gordon model, obtained through known deformation of the corresponding potential, is found to be quasi-integrable, like its non-supersymmetric counterpart, which was observed earlier. The system expectedly possesses finite number of conserved quantities, leaving-out an infinite number of non-conserved anomalous charges. The quasi-integrability of this supersymmetric model heavily rely on the boundary conditions of the potential, otherwise rendered to be completely non-integrable. Moreover, interesting additional algebraic structures appear, absent in the non-supersymmetric counterparts.
