Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the role of compensation practice on employee's satisfaction in Desta Garment and Tasty Food factories, which are sister companies to BEKDES PLC. The company's compensation system consists of financial and non-financial compensation system. Data was collected through questionnaire which is adopted from various researchers work. The validity of the instrument was checked using Cronbach Alpha and the result was 87.2%.From 814 target population, 204 questionnaires were distributed to the sample respondents among two factories. From the distributed of 204 questionnaire, 107were responded. Descriptive Statistics and frequencies were utilized to analyze the data. Interpretation is made on frequency and percentage of the data. The study's result has implied that compensation system has a positive role on employees' job satisfaction in Desta Garment and Tasty Food factories. Three hypotheses were supported to show the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Success of any business is depending upon its people, therefore, to retain the qualified and to recruit experienced employees, organizations has to give due consideration in establishing better compensation system. BEKDES Plc. as a parent company, should give due consideration in conducting research on compensation system of other related sectors. The company should revise the financial compensation system like medical, stock ownership accident relief, educational reimbursement and profit sharing, for employees to make them satisfied and productive. BEKDES Plc. as a parent company, should give due consideration in conducting research on compensation system of other related sectors. The company should improve their compensation strategy to boost employees' dedication and commitment to efficiently increase employees' satisfaction, this will improve the sector's image. Both factories should promote adequate benefit system in order to reduce absenteeism and employee turnover. Garments and Tasty Food should design and implement training exercises as a reward for committed and dedicated staff members improve their compensation strategy to boost employees' dedication and commitment to efficiently increase employees' satisfaction, this will improve the sector's image.

description: We assess the impact of the very recent measurement of the top-quark mass by the CMS Collaboration on the fit of electroweak data in the Standard Model and beyond, with particular emphasis on the prediction for the mass of the W boson. We then compare this prediction with the average of the corresponding experimental measurements including the new measurement by the CDF Collaboration, and discuss its compatibility in the Standard Model, in new physics models with oblique corrections, and in the dimension-six Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Finally, we present the updated global fit to electroweak precision data in these models.

description: Nanoencapsulation of drug/small molecules in nanocarriers (NCs) is a very promising approach for development of nanomedicine. Modern drug encapsulation methods allow efficient loading of drug molecules inside the NCs thereby reducing systemic toxicity associated with drugs. Targeting of NCs can enhance the accumulation of nanonencapsulated drug at the diseased site. This article focussed on the synthesis methods, drug loading, drug release mechanism and cellular response of nanoencapsulated drugs on liposomes, micelles, carbon nanotubes, dendrimers, and magnetic NCs. Also the uses of these various NCs have been highlighted in the field of nanotechnology.

description: A single-sort continuum Curie-Weiss system of interacting particles is studied. The particles are placed in the space $\mathbb{R}^d$ divided into congruent cubic cells. For a region $V\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ consisting of $N\in \mathbb{N}$ cells, every two particles contained in $V$ attract each other with intensity $J_1/N$. The particles contained in the same cell are subjected to binary repulsion with intensity $J_2>J_1$. For fixed values of the temperature, the interaction intensities, and the chemical potential the thermodynamic phase is defined as a probability measure on the space of occupation numbers of cells, determined by a condition typical of Curie-Weiss theories. It is proved that the half-plane $J_1\,\times\,$\textit{chemical potential} contains phase coexistence points at which there exist two thermodynamic phases of the system. An equation of state for this system is obtained.

description: Activated carbon cloth (ACC) was used as a micro solid phase extraction (µSPE) sorbent for the separation-preconcentration and determination of atrazine in water, juice, spice, and artificial urine by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). The adsorbent mass was 10 mg, the adsorption-desorption duration was 90-s, and the proposed method can be applied to different matrices. The preconcentration factor of the method is 16.7. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.7 and 2.2 ng mL−1, respectively. The recovery values of the presented procedure were from 93 to 108% for real samples. This µSPE-HPLC-DAD protocol is practical and sensitive for atrazine and shows that activated carbon cloth is a highly effective adsorbent.

description: Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental disorder characterised by delusions, hallucinations, lack of emotion and motivation, as well as cognitive deficits. Imbalance in the dopaminergic neuronal system has been closely linked with symptoms of schizophrenia. Treatment is undertaken with antipsychotics, which are designed to address the dopaminergic imbalance, through action at dopaminergic and/or serotonergic receptors. The work in this thesis was designed to investigate analogues of olanzapine, a currently prescribed antipsychotic, with the aim of developing agents with potent dopamine D₂ and serotonin 5-HT₂ᴀ receptor affinity. The analogues were designed to incorporate a distal aryl system, linked to olanzapine by an appropriate spacer, depicted in Figure A. Figure A. General structure of proposed analogues of olanzapine The nature of the linker and the distal aryl system were varied, with inspiration drawn from structures present in other commercially available antipsychotics. Analogues were initially assessed in vitro, with a number of them shown to be high affinity ligands for the D₂ and 5-HT₂ᴀ receptors. The most promising analogues were further assessed in an in vivo model, inhibition of apomorphine-induced climbing in mice, predictive of CNS antidopaminergic activity. Analogues highlighted in Figure B were identified as promising leads, showing improved potency compared to olanzapine both in vitro and in vivo. Figure B. Selected analogues produced in this thesis with their pharmacological profiles (Ki, and ED50) compared to olanzapine

Factors Influencing Cost Overrun: The Case Of Water And Sanitation Construction Project In Addis Ababa In Partial Fulfillment Of The Requirements For The Award Of Master Of Arts Degree In Project Management
Creators: name: Bekele, Daniel
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Among the many problems in construction projects, cost overrun is one of the prominent problem which has been broadly published in different literatures related to construction. In order to solve the problem one should identify the factors of cost overrun. Thus, this survey study was conducted aiming to sort out and rank the factors of cost overrun on water and sanitation construction projects in Addis Ababa Water and Sanitation Agency. This study was done using purposive sampling technique and 60 practitioners were selected. Based on a comprehensive literature review, 54 factors linked to project cost overrun in AAWSA projects were sorted out. Using these factors questionnaires were designed and distributed to 60 practitioners to evaluate the significant factors that affect project cost overrun. As a result 10 top rated factors were identified and ranked based on severity, frequency and important index. These are underestimating time requirements, Poor project control (cost, schedule and quality), Contractual claim (extension of time), Delay in construction, Inadequate supply of raw materials and equipment by contractors, Delays between design and procurement phases, Lowest bidding procurement procedures, inflation, Design error and omissions and Inadequate preconstruction study. The ten top factors were the highest impacts on the performance of project cost overrun from the client's, consultants' and contractors' perspective. In conclusion poor project and poor resource management were the significant factors for cost overrun in AAWSA projects.

description: We report the discovery of superconductivity in a series of noncentrosymmetric compounds La$_4$$TX$ ($T$ = Ru, Rh, Ir; $X$ = Al, In), which have a cubic crystal structure with space group $F\bar{4}3m$. La$_4$RuAl, La$_4$RhAl, La$_4$IrAl, La$_4$RuIn and La$_4$IrIn exhibit bulk superconducting transitions with critical temperatures $T_c$ of 1.77 K, 3.05 K, 1.54 K, 0.58 K and 0.93 K, respectively. The specific heat of the La$_4$$T$Al compounds are consistent with an $s$-wave model with a fully open superconducting gap. In all cases, the upper critical fields are well described by the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg model, and the values are well below the Pauli limit, indicating that orbital limiting is the dominant pair-breaking mechanism. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the degree of band splitting by the antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling (ASOC) shows considerable variation between the different compounds. This indicates that the strength of the ASOC is highly tunable across this series of superconductors, suggesting that these are good candidates for examining the relationship between the ASOC and superconducting properties in noncentrosymmetric superconductors.

description: Dynamical solutions are always of interest to people in gravity theories. We derive a series of generalized Vaidya solutions in the $n$-dimensional de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) massive gravity with a singular reference metric. Similar to the case of the Einstein gravity, the generalized Vaidya solution can describe shining/absorbing stars. Moreover, we also find a more general Vaidya-like solution by introducing a more generic matter field than the pure radiation in the original Vaidya spacetime. As a result, the above generalized Vaidya solution is naturally included in this Vaidya-like solution as a special case. We investigate the thermodynamics for this Vaidya-like spacetime by using the unified first law, and present the generalized Misner-Sharp mass. Our results show that the generalized Minser-Sharp mass does exist in this spacetime. In addition, the usual Clausius relation $δQ= TdS$ holds on the apparent horizon, which implicates that the massive gravity is in a thermodynamic equilibrium state. We find that the work density vanishes for the generalized Vaidya solution, while it appears in the more general Vaidya-like solution. Furthermore, the covariant generalized Minser-Sharp mass in the $n$-dimensional de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley massive gravity is also derived by taking a general metric ansatz into account.

description: Nowadays, the Internet has spread to practically every country around the world and is having unprecedented effects on people's lives. The Internet of Things (IoT) is getting more popular and has a high level of interest in both practitioners and academicians in the age of wireless communication due to its diverse applications. The IoT is a technology that enables everyday things to become savvier, everyday computation towards becoming intellectual, and everyday communication to become a little more insightful. In this paper, the most common and popular IoT device capabilities, architectures, and protocols are demonstrated in brief to provide a clear overview of the IoT technology to the researchers in this area. The common IoT device capabilities including hardware (Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and ESP8266) and software (operating systems, and built-in tools) platforms are described in detail. The widely used architectures that have been recently evolved and used are the three-layer architecture, SOA-based architecture, and middleware-based architecture. The popular protocols for IoT are demonstrated which include CoAP, MQTT, XMPP, AMQP, DDS, LoWPAN, BLE, and Zigbee that are frequently utilized to develop smart IoT applications. Additionally, this research provides an in-depth overview of the potential healthcare applications based on IoT technologies in the context of addressing various healthcare concerns. Finally, this paper summarizes state-of-the-art knowledge, highlights open issues and shortcomings, and provides recommendations for further studies which would be quite beneficial to anyone with a desire to work in this field and make breakthroughs to get expertise in this area.

description: We give a geometric account of the relative motion or the shape dynamics of $N$ point vortices on the sphere exploiting the $\mathsf{SO}(3)$-symmetry of the system. The main idea is to bypass the technical difficulty of the $\mathsf{SO}(3)$-reduction by first lifting the dynamics from $\mathbb{S}^{2}$ to $\mathbb{C}^{2}$. We then perform the $\mathsf{U}(2)$-reduction using a dual pair to obtain a Lie--Poisson dynamics for the shape dynamics. This Lie--Poisson structure helps us find a family of Casimirs for the shape dynamics. We further reduce the system by $\mathbb{T}^{N-1}$-symmetry to obtain a Poisson structure for the shape dynamics involving fewer shape variables than those of the previous work by Borisov and Pavlov. As an application of the shape dynamics, we prove that the tetrahedron relative equilibria are stable when all of their circulations have the same sign, generalizing some existing results on tetrahedron relative equilibria of identical vortices.

description: The Naruse hook-length formula is a recent general formula for the number of standard Young tableaux of skew shapes, given as a positive sum over excited diagrams of products of hook-lengths. In 2015 we gave two different $q$-analogues of Naruse's formula: for the skew Schur functions, and for counting reverse plane partitions of skew shapes. In this paper we give an elementary proof of Naruse's formula based on the case of border strips. For special border strips, we obtain curious new formulas for the Euler and $q$-Euler numbers in terms of certain Dyck path summations.

description: The supermassive black holes originally in the nuclei of two merging galaxies will form a binary in the remnant core. The early evolution of the massive binary is driven by dynamical friction before the binary becomes "hard" and eventually reaches coalescence through gravitational wave emission. { We consider the dynamical friction evolution of massive binaries consisting of a secondary hole orbiting inside a stellar cusp dominated by a more massive central black hole.} In our treatment we include the frictional force from stars moving faster than the inspiralling object which is neglected in the standard Chandrasekhar's treatment. We show that the binary eccentricity increases if the stellar cusp density profile rises less steeply than $ρ\propto r^{-2}$. In cusps shallower than $ρ\propto r^{-1}$ the frictional timescale can become very long due to the deficit of stars moving slower than the massive body. Although including the fast stars increases the decay rate, low mass-ratio binaries ($q\lesssim 10^{-3}$) in sufficiently massive galaxies have decay timescales longer than one Hubble time. During such minor mergers the secondary hole stalls on an eccentric orbit at a distance of order one tenth the influence radius of the primary hole (i.e., $\approx 10-100\rm pc$ for massive ellipticals). We calculate the expected number of stalled satellites as a function of the host galaxy mass, and show that the brightest cluster galaxies should have $\gtrsim 1$ of such satellites orbiting within their cores. Our results could provide an explanation to a number of observations, which include multiple nuclei in core ellipticals, off-center AGNs and eccentric nuclear disks.

description: Medical application of femtosecond laser irradiation for possible cancer treatment is a primary interest for this study. In this study the effects of femtosecond laser irradiation time, treatment wavelength and strain type upon the structure of DNA from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (strain I) and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (strain II) is presented using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Six sets of irradiation parameters are considered for the bacterial strains. Fourier transform infrared spectra of genomic nucleic acids extracted from the two Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strains were characterized for control and irradiated samples. FT-IR assignments and structure of nucleic acids subgroups were analyzed from 800 to 1800 cm−1. In particular, the bands at 1074 cm−1 [PO2− symmetric stretching (υsPO2−)], 1233 cm−1 (antisymmetric stretching υaPO2−, possible A-form), 1330 cm−1 [deoxyadenosine (dA)], 1400 cm−1 (C3'-endo/anti, A-form), 1540 cm−1 [deoxycytidine (dC)] and 1650 cm−1 [deoxycytidine (dC) (C2 = O2)] were considered to evaluate the structural changes of DNA functional groups following irradiation.

description: We investigate the attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (ATAS) of graphene by numerically solving four-band density-matrix equations, which demonstrates apparent fish bone resonance structures. To gain insight into these interesting structures, we exploit a simplified model that only considers the electrons of $Γ$ and M points in the Brillouin zone. With the help of this model, we can analytically express the ATAS spectrum as the sum of zeroth- and first-order Bessel functions in the variables of the strength and frequency of the infrared pump field as well as the effective mass of electrons at the $Γ$ and M points. Lorentzian and Fano line shapes in the absorption spectrum are addressed. The fish bone structure consists of periodic V-shaped structure that can be explained by first-order Bessel functions and its tilt angle is solely determined by the frequency of the pump laser. The periodicity of the V-shaped structure in the fish bone originates from the periodic dependence of the Lorentzian and Fano line shapes of the absorption spectrum on the time delay between the pump and probe lasers. Compared with the numerical results, our analytical theory can qualitatively or even quantitatively predict the zeroth- and first-order fringes in the fish bone structures of the ATAS spectrum. The gauge issues in the numerical simulations are also discussed.

description: Because of their unique properties, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) promise to deliver an indefinite number of any type of somatic cell. Unfortunately, current differentiation protocols only result in heterogeneous mixtures of cells, often with a low percentage of the desired cell type. Consequently, much stem cell research is currently devoted to understanding the nature of, or improving the yield from differentiation, which has often meant that detailed functional studies of the cells obtained from ESCs have been ignored. In this study I generated dopaminergic neurons, the cell type lost from the midbrain of patients with Parkinson’s disease, and investigated some of the functional characteristics these neurons possess throughout differentiation.

description: Archdeacon (1987) proved that graphs embeddable on a fixed surface can be $3$-coloured so that each colour class induces a subgraph of bounded maximum degree. Edwards, Kang, Kim, Oum and Seymour (2015) proved that graphs with no $K_{t+1}$-minor can be $t$-coloured so that each colour class induces a subgraph of bounded maximum degree. We prove a common generalisation of these theorems with a weaker assumption about excluded subgraphs. This result leads to new defective colouring results for several graph classes, including graphs with linear crossing number, graphs with given thickness (with relevance to the earth-moon problem), graphs with given stack- or queue-number, linklessly or knotlessly embeddable graphs, graphs with given Colin de Verdière parameter, and graphs excluding a complete bipartite graph as a topological minor.

description: Work place culture is underscored to have a powerful strength to influence employee"s work motivation and efficiency. Studies elsewhere have demonstrated that organizational culture correlate with individual and organizational outcomes. Investigation of the association of organizational culture with work performance in the local context was necessary. The main purpose of this study was to explore the effects of organizational culture on employee performance. The study measured the effect of organizational culture on employee performance at the Addis Ababa Abattoirs Enterprise. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been utilized to generate the needed data. After establishment of adequate sample size for the study, and pre tested questionnaire and focus group discussions were conducted to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using statistical package for social sciences; version 24.Corelation and regression analysis were used to examine association between dependent and independent variables. The findings suggest that organizational culture has a positive effect and a significant relation with the performance of employees in the study enterprise. The study clearly showed that all the four cultures, namely clan adhocracy market and bureaucratic cultures had a significant effect on employee performance with dominant culture characteristics of market culture practiced in the enterprise. Thus, the study demonstrated positive relationship between organizational culture and employee Performance. Finally, we strongly recommend that the organization ought to try to empower rand enhance welfare of the employees to maximize employee performance to the desirable direction

description: We look at the influence of external fields on systems described by generic free energy functional of the order parameter. The external force may have arbitrary spatial dependence, and the order parameter coupling may be nonlinear. The treatment generalizes seemingly disparate works, such as pure fluids, liquid and polymer mixtures, lipid monolayers, and colloidal suspensions in electric fields, fluids and nematics in gravity, solutions in an ultracentrifuge, and liquid mixtures in laser radiation. The phase lines and thermodynamic behavior are calculated at the mean-field level. We find a ``surface'' critical point that can be shifted to higher or lower temperatures than the bulk critical point. Below this point, the transition from a ``gas'' phase to a ``liquid'' phase is first-order, while above it, the transition is second-order. The second-order line is affected by the spatial dependence of the force, while the first-order line is universal. Moreover, the susceptibility may diverge at a finite location ${\bf r}$. Several analytical expressions are given in the limit where a Landau expansion of the free energy is valid.

description: We consider three problems of selecting optimal gun barrel direction (or those of selecting optimal semiaxis position) when firing an unguided artillery projectile on the assumption that the gun barrel semiaxis can move in a connected nonconvex cone having a non-smooth lateral surface and modelling visibility zone restrictions. In the first problem, the target is in the true horizon plane of the gun, the second and the third problems deal with some region of 3D space. A distinctive feature of the models is that the objective functions are $\varepsilon$-Lipschitz ones. We have constructed a unified numerical method to solve these problems based on an algorithm of projecting a point onto $\varepsilon$-Lipschitz level function set. A computer program has been based on it. A series of numerical experiments on each problem has been carried out. App. 1.

description: Coexistence of intrinsic ferromagnetism and piezoelectricity, namely piezoelectric ferromagnetism (PFM), is crucial to advance multifunctional spintronic technologies. In this work, we demonstrate that Janus monolayer YBrI is a PFM, which is dynamically, mechanically and thermally stable. Electronic correlation effects on physical properties of YBrI are investigated by using generalized gradient approximation plus $U$ (GGA+$U$) approach. For out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy, YBrI is a ferrovalley (FV) material, and the valley splitting is larger than 82 meV in considered $U$ range. The anomalous valley Hall effect (AVHE) can be achieved under an in-plane electric field. However, for in-plane magnetic anisotropy, YBrI is a common ferromagnetic (FM) semiconductor. When considering intrinsic magnetic anisotropy, the easy axis of YBrI is always in-plane with magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) from 0.309 meV to 0.237 meV ($U$=0.0 eV to 3.0 eV). However, the magnetization can be adjusted from the in-plane to off-plane direction by external magnetic field, and then lead to the occurrence of valley polarization. Moreover, missing centrosymmetry along with mirror symmetry breaking results in both in-plane and out-of-plane piezoelectricity in YBrI monolayer. At a typical $U$=2.0 eV, the $d_{11}$ is predicted to be -5.61 pm/V, which is higher than or compared with ones of other two-dimensional (2D) known materials. The electronic and piezoelectric properties of YBrI can be effectively tuned by applying a biaxial strain. For example, tensile strain can enhance valley splitting and $d_{11}$ (absolute value). The predicted Curie temperature of YBrI is higher than those of experimentally synthesized 2D ferromagnetic materials $\mathrm{CrI_3}$ and $\mathrm{Cr_2Ge_2Te_6}$.

description: One of the main challenges in Environmental sciences is the identification and chemical evolution of polluting traces (e.g, cadmium or antimony) in soil, which requires long acquistion times for accurate measurements at synchrotron facilities. In this context, the potential of a new generation multi-element germanium detectors to identify traces at 0.1-1~ppm in a reasonable time has been studied using Allpix Squared framework. This code has been customized to include the three dimensional electric and weighting field maps generated by COMSOL Multiphysics software, and several features to model the sample environment at SOLEIL synchrotron and the signal response of a germanium detector equipped with a Digital Pulse Processor (DPP). The full simulation chain has been validated by experimental data from SAMBA beamline of SOLEIL synchrotron. This work presents a first estimation of the detection limit to cadmium traces in a soil sample for a future multi-element germanium detector, using this simulation chain.

description: One of the readily accessible observables in trapped cold-atom experiments is the column density, which is determined from optical depth (OD) obtained from absorption imaging and the absorption cross-section ($σ_{\rm abs}$). Here we report on simple and accurate determination of OD for dense gases of light atoms such as lithium-6. We investigate theoretically and experimentally an appropriate condition for the probe intensity and duration to achieve good signal-to-noise ratio by considering the influences of photon recoils and photon shot noises. As a result, we have succeeded in measuring OD which reached 2.5 with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 under spatial resolution of 1.7 $μ$m.

description: We present the vector, scalar and tensor renormalization constants (RCs) using overlap fermions with either regularization independent momentum subtraction (RI/MOM) or symmetric momentum subtraction (RI/SMOM) as the intermediate scheme on the lattice with lattice spacings $a$ from 0.04 fm to 0.12 fm. Our gauge field configurations from the MILC and RBC/UKQCD collaborations include sea quarks using either the domain wall or the HISQ action, respectively. The results show that RI/MOM and RI/SMOM can provide consistent renormalization constants to the $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$ scheme, after proper $a^2p^2$ extrapolations. But at $p\sim 2$\,GeV, both RI/MOM and RI/SMOM suffer from nonperturbative effects which cannot be removed by the perturbative matching. The comparison between the results with different sea actions also suggests that the renormalization constant is discernibly sensitive to the lattice spacing but not to the bare gauge coupling in the gauge action.
