description: We performed comparable polarized Raman scattering studies of MoTe2 and WTe2. By rotating crystals to tune the angle between the principal axis of the crystals and the polarization of the incident/scattered light, we obtained the angle dependence of the intensities for all the observed modes, which is perfectly consistent with careful symmetry analysis. Combining these results with first-principles calculations, we clearly identified the observed phonon modes in the different phases of both crystals. Fifteen Raman-active phonon modes (10Ag+5Bg) in the high-symmetry phase 1T'-MoTe2 (300 K) were well assigned, and all the symmetry-allowed Raman modes (11A1+6A2) in the low-symmetry phase Td-MoTe2 (10 K) and 12 Raman phonons (8A1+4A2) in Td-WTe2 were observed and identified. The present work provides basic information about the lattice dynamics in transition-metal dichalcogenides and may shed some light on the understanding of the extremely large magnetoresistance (MR) in this class of materials.

Creators: name: Mulugeta, Henok
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Brands are considered to create trust and develop ties with customers. It provide a number of valuable functions to firms, the most important and valuable benefit firms can obtain from branding is, its ability to influence consumer buying decision behavior. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of branding on consumer buying decision behavior of local leather foot wear products in the case of selected branches under Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. A research model was used to explain the impact of branding. Based on the frame work adopted from Keller (1998), brand elements such as brand name, logo, Character, slogan and packaging were identified in order to measure their relative impact on consumers buying decision behavior. The population of the study was all clerical employees who are working in Commercial bank of Ethiopia South Addis Ababa district, and bought a leather foot wear product within the last one year period. The sample respondents were 255 and taken from Selected Branches under Commercial Bank of Ethiopia and include both men and women customers who bought local leather foot wear during the past one year period. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Version 20. Based on the analysis the result shows that, brand name and logo have no significant impact on consumer buying decision behavior of local made leather footwear products similarly the other variables such as brand character; slogan and packaging have insignificant impact on consumer buying decision behavior too.

description: Electrically injected deep ultra-violet (UV) emission is obtained using monolayer (ML) thin GaN/AlN quantum structures as active regions. The emission wavelength is tuned by controlling the thickness of ultrathin GaN layers with monolayer precision using plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). Single peaked emission spectra is achieved with narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) for three different light emitting diodes (LEDs) operating at 232 nm, 246 nm and 270 nm. 232 nm (5.34 eV) is the shortest EL emission wavelength reported so far using GaN as the light emitting material and employing polarization-induced doping.

description: The additive manufacturing of natural fibre-reinforced polymers is a pivotal method in developing sustainable engineering solutions. Using the fused filament fabrication method, the current study investigates the additive manufacturing of hemp-reinforced polybutylene succinate (PBS) alongside its mechanical characterization. Two types of hemp reinforcement are considered: short fibres (max. length smaller than 2 mm) and long fibres (max. length smaller than 10 mm), which are compared against non-reinforced (pure) PBS. A detailed analysis is performed regarding the determination of suitable 3D printing parameters (overlap, temperature, nozzle diameter). In a comprehensive experimental study, additionally to general analyses regarding the influence of hemp reinforcement on the mechanical behaviour, the effect of printing parameters is determined and discussed. Introducing an overlap in the additive manufacturing of the specimens results in improved mechanical performance. The study highlights that the Young’s modulus of PBS can be improved by 63% by introducing hemp fibres in conjunction with overlap. In contrast, hemp fibre reinforcement reduces the tensile strength of PBS, while this effect is less pronounced considering overlap in the additive manufacturing process.

description: Un audit national multicentrique des pratiques par observation a été mené en 2020 et 2021 dans le cadre du programme Spicmi pour faire un état des lieux de la préparation cutanée de l’opéré (PCO) et de l’antibioprophylaxie (ATBP) préopératoire. Les interventions concernées étaient celles comportant une incision sur peau saine, hors urgence. Les résultats correspondent aux 3 643 observations réalisées dans 133 établissements de santé (ES) transmises sur la base du volontariat. Pour la PCO, plusieurs étaient très satisfaisants : 99,5% des interventions avec au moins une douche ou toilette préopératoire, détersion ou nettoyage cutané à 98,4% en cas de souillures visibles, antisepsie à 88,3% avec un produit alcoolique. Le traitement des pilosités est à revoir : dépilation en routine encore appliquée dans 3/4 des cas dont la moitié à domicile et rasage mécanique encore fréquent surtout à domicile (29% des dépilations). Un travail d’information est à mener à ce sujet auprès des équipes et des patients. Pour l’ATBP préopératoire (1re injection), les indications, le moment d’administration (avant incision) et le choix des molécules et doses étaient plutôt bien respectés (93,1% des ATBP conformes, 85,9% de molécules et doses adéquates). Le seul point à améliorer est l’adaptation posologique des bêtalactamines et de la clindamycine pour certains profils de patients ou types d’interventions. L’actualisation du référentiel d’ATBP devrait préciser certains aspects, notamment la définition d’un écart acceptable autour des 30 minutes de délai avant incision et les conditions d’utilisation de molécules différentes. Au-delà de l’intérêt local pour les ES, l’évaluation a permis d’identifier des tendances nationales dont les résultats vont être valorisés et des supports de promotion des bonnes pratiques vont être proposés aux ES ainsi qu’une enquête d’impact pour estimer les progrès réalisés.

description: We perform further tests of the correspondence between spectral theory and topological strings, focusing on mirror curves of genus greater than one with nontrivial mass parameters. In particular, we analyze the geometry relevant to the SU(3) relativistic Toda lattice, and the resolved C^3/Z_6 orbifold. Furthermore, we give evidence that the correspondence holds for arbitrary values of the mass parameters, where the quantization problem leads to resonant states. We also explore the relation between this correspondence and cluster integrable systems.

Cause and Effects of Delay on Road Construction Projects in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Zegeye, Biruk
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: Delays of a construction project can be defined as the late completion of works as compared to the planned schedule or contract schedule. Delays on the construction projects are the most common and frequent problem of the industry. Thus, the objective of this study was to identify the major causes of delays and the frequency of occurrence of effects of delays. This study was carried out based on literature review, questionnaire survey and document review of projects. A stratified sampling technique was used to select sample projects. Analysis techniques like relative importance index, Spearman correlation and 'T-test' were used to analyze the data collected so as to rank the factors causing delays, identify frequency of effects of delay and to show the degree of agreement between the different parties (clients, consultants and contractors).The results of the analysis show that the main cause for delay of road construction projects in the Addis are consultants, external or environmental related factors and clients. The spearman correlation test results show that there is no as such a strong agreement between any two parties of the industry towards identifying the cause and of delay on the projects. And the most frequent occurring types of effect of delay were found to be time and cost overrun. This result have been found the same for all groups of respondents, which confirms that all parties have the same view towards the effects of delay. Finally the study has made a recommendation to the players of the industry to work hand in hand to achieve a common goal which is completing projects on time and budget.
Few strongly interacting ultracold fermions in one-dimensional traps of different shapes

description: The ground-state properties of a few spin-1/2 fermions with different masses and interacting via short-range contact forces are studied within an exact diagonalization approach. It is shown that, depending on the shape of the external confinement, different scenarios of the spatial separation between components manifested by specific shapes of the density profiles can be obtained in the strong interaction limit. We find that the ground-state of the system undergoes a specific transition between orderings when the confinement is changed adiabatically from a uniform box to a harmonic oscillator shape. We study the properties of this transition in the framework of the finite-size scaling method adopted to few-body systems.

description: Angesichts organisationspolitischer Rückschläge und Defizite unternehmen die Gewerkschaften in den letzten Jahren verstärkte Anstrengungen, ihre programmatischen, strategischen und organisatorischen Grundlagen zu reformieren. So hat die IG Metall einen umfassenden Organisations-Entwicklungs-Prozess (OE-Prozess) in Gang gesetzt, dessen Ergebnisse im folgenden am Beispiel des Teilprojekts "Beteiligungsorientierte gewerkschaftliche Betriebspolitik" dargestellt werden. Es zeigt sich, dass die Gewerkschaften dort erfolgreich handeln, wo sie die Kompetenzen ihrer Mitglieder und Funktionäre aktiv in die Gestaltung moderner Produktionsprozesse einbringen und diese an der Formulierung und Umsetzung diesbezüglicher Handlungskonzepte beteiligen. Als betriebspolitische Innovation erwies sich die Initiierung von Beteiligungsprojekten zu relevanten betrieblichen Problemen, wobei die Mitglieder der Projektteams in langwierigen Lernprozessen mit der Methode des "Projektmanagements" vertraut gemacht wurden.
description: Considering their organizational and political set backs and deficits trade unions make every efforts within the last years to reform their programmatical, strategical and organizational foundations. So IG Metall has started a far-reaching process to develop its organization One part of it is the project "Beteiligungsorientierte gewerkschaftliche Betriebspolitik", which may be translated with "participatory trade union policy on the plant-level". In the following this project shall be quoted as an illustration for results of this efforts. It can be pointed out, that trade unions act successfully then, when they realize the competences of their members and functionaries actively in the shaping of modern processes of production, so that workers themselves can take part in the development and transfer of concepts of action referring to this. It turned out to be an innovation in union policy on the plant-level that trade unions initiated participatory projects in order to find new solutions for actually important problems. The members of for this installed project-teams got thorough knowledge of the method of "project-management" within lengthy trainee-programmes.

description: Passive scalar mixing (metals, molecules, etc.) in the turbulent interstellar medium (ISM) is critical for abundance patterns of stars and clusters, galaxy and star formation, and cooling from the circumgalactic medium. However, the fundamental scaling laws remain poorly understood in the highly supersonic, magnetized, shearing regime relevant for the ISM. We therefore study the full scaling laws governing passive-scalar transport in idealized simulations of supersonic turbulence. Using simple phenomenological arguments for the variation of diffusivity with scale based on Richardson diffusion, we propose a simple fractional diffusion equation to describe the turbulent advection of an initial passive scalar distribution. These predictions agree well with the measurements from simulations, and vary with turbulent Mach number in the expected manner, remaining valid even in the presence of a large-scale shear flow (e.g. rotation in a galactic disk). The evolution of the scalar distribution is not the same as obtained using simple, constant "effective diffusivity" as in Smagorinsky models, because the scale-dependence of turbulent transport means an initially Gaussian distribution quickly develops highly non-Gaussian tails. We also emphasize that these are mean scalings that only apply to ensemble behaviors (assuming many different, random scalar injection sites): individual Lagrangian "patches" remain coherent (poorly-mixed) and simply advect for a large number of turbulent flow-crossing times.

description: Background This research probes probable role of elemene injection on pancreatic cancer employing network pharmacology and experimental validation. Materials and Methods GEO database were used to acquire genes which is differentially expressed between pancreatic cancer tissue with normal tissue. The vigorous energetic ingredients were identified consequent a reading search and the object genes of were obtained from BATMAN-TCM. Subsequently, a Venn diagram was constructed to visualize the common genes. Screening for survival-related genes was performed using the GEPIA database. Moreover, docking and co-immunoprecipitation studies were performed to verify the suggested contact between the elemene components and target genes. In vitro experiments using pancreatic cell lines, including Panc02, Mia PaCa-2, and Capan-1 and in vivo experiments using Panc02-injected C57BL/6 mice were conducted for further validation. Results Twenty-seven target genes that potentially mediate elemene’s effect on pancreatic cancer were obtained. The experiments verified that elemene injection suppresses pancreatic cancer cell expansion, blocks cells in S phase, and causes apoptosis by upregulating EPHX2 and downregulating EFNA5 in vitro and in vivo. Conclusions The mechanism may be related to induced EPHX2 overexpression and EFNA5 hypoexpression. Both EPHX2 and EFNA5 are new targets for pancreatic cancer treatment that require further investigation.

description: The main objective of this study was to examine the impact of online marketing, particularly effective web site marketing on the online application intention of trainees of Ethiopian Aviation Academy. Though there are many factors that can be studied in this area the researcher tried to analyze four factors namely Ease of Use, Usefulness, Physical Attractiveness and Professional look. A quantitative research design is applied in the study. With regard to sampling technique, a stratified random sampling technique was applied to determine the sample size from the three training schools of the academy (AMTS, CC & CS, C & GSTS). The researcher has used both primary and secondary data. The primary data were collected through structured questionnaires prepared in English and distributed to 290 trainees. Whereas, the secondary data are gathered from existing literatures, previous studies, the academy's web site, internal publications, fact sheets and the internet as well. SPSS Version 20 was used to analyze the collected data with descriptive and inferential statistics and to test the hypotheses put forward. The findings obtained from multiple regression analysis have shown that Ease of Use and Usefulness have positive and significant correlation with online application intention which led to supporting of hypothesis one and two. While physical attractiveness and professional look were found to be statistically insignificant in impacting online application intention which led to not supporting of hypotheses three and four. Therefore, the academy has to work aggressively to improve the ease of use and usefulness features of its web site to improve the experience of its trainees so that the users of online application platform can increase. The study highlights more studies to be conducted in the area by broadening the scope, sample size and the variables involved

description: More than 15 years ago Arlie Russell Hochschild published her study on emotional labour stating that service sector employees have to control and utilise their emotions according to corporate demands. How has the concept of emotional labour developed since then and how valid was it for later studies? How much does it contribute to the understanding of service job requirements taking into account companies growing customer orientation? The answers to these questions reveal that the concept of emotional labour is highly significant for the future of jobs in customer relations, in particular for the managerial organisation and evaluation of these jobs. The concept also has consequences for the employed individuals and their personal approach.

description: Erfahrungen mit der Umsetzung von komplexen Frauenförderprogrammen haben teils zu Ernüchterung, teils zu realistischeren Einsichten darüber geführt, welchen Stellenwert formale Vereinbarungen haben, und wie Entscheidungen in Organisationen tatsächlich zustande kommen. Im folgenden Beitrag werden die strategischen und mikropolitischen Dimensionen von betrieblicher Gleichstellung untersucht. Auf der Grundlage macht- und politiktheoretischer Ansätze der Organisationsforschung werden Ergebnisse der Machtforschung sowie Befunde einer eigenen empirischen Untersuchung hinsichtlich spezifischer Merkmale von Verhandlungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen über Frauenförderung diskutiert. Die Analyse zeigt, dass für AkteurInnen von Gleichstellungspolitik eine konfliktfähige Konsensstrategie besonders geeignet ist: Auf der Mikroebene der direkten Interaktion ist Konfliktfähigkeit gefordert, während bei der strategischen Planung und Umsetzung von Gleichstellungsmaßnahmen eine Orientierung am Konsens der Beteiligten unerläßlich erscheint.
description: Experience with the implementation of complex support programmes for women has sometimes led to disillusionment; sometimes it has also led to a more realistic understanding of the relevance of formal agreements, and of the way decisions are actually reached in companies. This paper explores the strategical and micropolitical dimensions of gender equality policies in companies. Drawing on organization research, and more specifically on political theory and theory of power, it discusses both relevant findings of power research and findings of an empirical study, carried out by the author, on the specific features of negotiating and decision making processes in the context of policies to support women. The analysis shows that the most useful strategy for those involved in gender equality policies is a consensus-based strategy which is capable at the same time of handling conflicts. The ability to deal with conflicts is especially needed on the micro level of direct interaction, whereas the strategic planning and the implementation of gender equality policies seem to require a more consensus-oriented attitude in all actors involved.

In this note we prove that if the $(2n+1)$-dimensional (Heisenberg) Riesz transform on $\mathbb{H}^n$ is $L^2(μ)$-bounded, and if $μ(F)=0$ for all Borel sets with $\dim_H(F)\leq 2$, then $μ$ must have $(2n+1)$-polynomial growth. This is the Heisenberg counterpart of a result of Guy David from 1991.

description: The evolution of the magnetic and charge transport properties of itinerant magnetic metal MnSi with the substitution of Al and Ga on the Si site is investigated. We observe an increase in unit cell volume indicating that both Al and Ga substitutions create negative chemical pressure. There are substantial increases in the Curie temperature and the ordered moment demonstrating that the substitutions give the magnetism a more local character. The substitutions also increase the range of temperature and field where the skyrmion phase is stable due to a change in the character of the magnetism. In contrast to the behavior of pure MnSi and expectations for the intrinsic anomalous Hall effect, we find a significant temperature dependence to the magnitude and sign of anomalous Hall conductivity constant in Al or Ga substituted samples. This temperature dependence likely reflects changes in the spin-orbit coupling strength with temperature, which may have significant consequences on the helical and skyrmion states. Overall, we observe a continuous evolution of magnetic and charge transport properties through positive to negative pressure

description: Der Aufsatz zeigt, wie Manager in der ostdeutschen Industrie an die Gestaltung betrieblicher Arbeits- und Organisationsstrukturen herangehen. Auf der Grundlage von Betriebsfallstudien wird der Zusammenhang von strukturellen Handlungsbedingungen, Situationsdefinitionen, Handeln der Manager und den Ergebnissen diese Handelns nachgezeichnet. In den sich relativ erfolgreich am Markt behauptenden ostdeutschen Firmen sind im Ergebnis des Handelns der Manager Strukturen und Funktionsweisen der Unternehmens- und Arbeitsorganisation entstanden, die sowohl Elemente der tayloristischen Traditionslinie enthalten als auch solche, die darüber hinaus weisen.

description: We present an explicit scheme for a two-dimensional multilayer shallow water model with density stratification, for general meshes and collocated variables. The proposed strategy is based on a regularized model where the transport velocity in the advective fluxes is shifted proportionally to the pressure potential gradient. Using a similar strategy for the potential forces, we show the stability of the method in the sense of a discrete dissipation of the mechanical energy, in general multilayer and non-linear frames. These results are obtained at first-order in space and time and extended using a simple second-order MUSCL extension. With the objective of minimizing the diffusive losses in realistic contexts, sufficient conditions are exhibited on the regularizing terms to ensure the scheme's linear stability at first and second-order in time and space. The other main result stands in the consistency with respect to the asymptotics reached at small and large time scales in low Froude regimes, which governs large-scale oceanic circulation. Additionally, robustness and well-balanced results for motionless steady states are also ensured. These stability properties tend to provide a very robust and efficient approach, easy to implement and particularly well suited for large-scale simulations. Some numerical experiments are proposed to highlight the scheme efficiency: an experiment of fast gravitational modes, a smooth surface wave propagation, an initial propagating surface water elevation jump considering a non trivial topography, and a last experiment of slow Rossby modes simulating the displacement of a baroclinic vortex subject to the Coriolis force.

description: This paper deals with analysis of marketing mix component and consumer buying behavior. The purpose of the study was to find out The Effect of Marketing Mix on Consumer Buying Behavior of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Addis Ababa (The case of Lideta, Kolfe-Keraniyo and Arada Sub Cities. Accordingly, the research models were composed of four independent variables such as product, price, place and promotion while there is one dependent variable which is consumer buying behavior. Furthermore hypotheses were developed to shown the effect of all the independent variables of marketing mix on the dependent variable of consumer buying behavior. To this end, a structured 5-point Likert scale close ended questionnaire based survey was employed to collect data. By using probability sampling technique from the consumer of three selected sub cities found in Addis Ababa, more specifically 400 questionnaires were distributed and 372 (93 %) were returned back for analysis. The correlation analysis was illustrated to examine the relationship between those variables and effects of the factors was reported and analyzed by using multiples liner regression. Descriptive statistics also conducted in the research through the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science version 24 (SPSS). The findings of the study revealed that among the independent variables of product significantly affect consumer buying behavior of SME in Lideta ,Kolfe keraniyo and Arada sub city . Concerning to price the beta value as well as the p-value told that those factors has no a positively and significantly affect consumer buying behavior of SME in Lideta ,Kolfe keraniyo and Arada sub city. Another promising finding was also told that place is considered as a factor and which positively and significantly affect consumer buying behavior. The last independent factors promotion has also a positively and significantly affect the consumer buying behavior of SME of those previously mentioned sub cities. Based on the finding, the researcher tried to forward a recommendation that government and other stakeholder should focus and working on the above statistically significant factor in order to enhance and improve the enterprise activities in the near future.

description: Binary black holes as the recently detected sources of gravitational waves can be formed from massive stellar binaries in the field or by dynamical interactions in clusters of high stellar density, if the black holes are the remnants of massive stars that collapsed without natal kicks that would disrupt the binary system or eject the black holes from the cluster before binary black hole formation. Here are summarized and discussed the kinematics in three dimensions of space of five Galactic black hole X-ray binaries. For Cygnus X-1 and GRS 1915+105 it is found that the black holes of ~15 and ~10 solar masses in these sources were formed in situ, without energetic kicks. These observations suggest that binary black holes with components of ~10 solar masses may have been prolifically produced in the universe.

description: We present initial results from the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS). CUBS is designed to map diffuse baryonic structures at redshift z<~1 using absorption-line spectroscopy of 15 UV-bright QSOs with matching deep galaxy survey data. CUBS QSOs are selected based on their NUV brightness to avoid biases against the presence of intervening Lyman Limit Systems (LLSs) at zabs<1. We report five new LLSs of log N(HI)/cm^-2 >~ 17.2 over a total redshift survey pathlength of dz=9.3, and a number density of n(z)=0.43 (-0.18, +0.26). Considering all absorbers with log N(HI)/cm^-2 > 16.5 leads to n(z)=1.08 (-0.25, +0.31) at z<1. All LLSs exhibit a multi-component structure and associated metal transitions from multiple ionization states such as CII, CIII, MgII, SiII, SiIII, and OVI absorption. Differential chemical enrichment levels as well as ionization states are directly observed across individual components in three LLSs. We present deep galaxy survey data obtained using the VLT-MUSE integral field spectrograph and the Magellan Telescopes, reaching sensitivities necessary for detecting galaxies fainter than 0.1L* at d<~300 physical kpc (pkpc) in all five fields. A diverse range of galaxy properties is seen around these LLSs, from a low-mass dwarf galaxy pair, a co-rotating gaseous halo/disk, a star-forming galaxy, a massive quiescent galaxy, to a galaxy group. The closest galaxies have projected distances ranging from d=15 to 72 pkpc and intrinsic luminosities from ~0.01L* to ~3L*. Our study shows that LLSs originate in a variety of galaxy environments and trace gaseous structures with a broad range of metallicities.
