Year: 2015

description: It is a widely accepted theme to read the fact the industrialization is an engine of growth. This is applicable to all countries of the world whether developed or underdeveloped. With this statements one can start an argument that is the current underdeveloped world, on one part should critically study and analyze the stage of their economic, social, political, geographical situation and take it as a base for their economic planning, which is lacking in countries like Ethiopia, then what we should learn from the developed world is first their development trajectories by critically examining their stage of development how they passed through, then adapt it step by step approach sequencing the development plan scientifically meaning what to emulate and what not to emulate. In Ethiopia, What can be read from different sources (EDRI, 2014), the Micro and Small Enterprises sector is largely unknown sector; this situation by itself is weakness. As to the explanation of (K.Mogus, 2008), fundamental principle governing growth and development of a nation is its potential to exploit its factor endowment, i.e. Agriculture led industrialization. Ethiopia's industrialization strategy starts from Medium level and then goes upward which means in planning (GTP I and II) the MSE sector is largely unknown (EDRI 2014). When this situation further reviewed, industrialization growth sustainability cannot be said that it has a strong base because it started from mid-level than micro level industrialization unlike the Korean development path and this is the basic argument the researcher highlights here. Added to the above fact, the necessity for entrepreneurship, innovative approach to business ideas and productivity development in Ethiopia's Small industries is highly demanding, because this sector is considered as a breeding ground for industrialization. This research paper mainly concentrates on the pros and cons of the macro and small Enterprises sector development and factors that are impediments to the growth of this sector

description: Semantic labeling (or pixel-level land-cover classification) in ultra-high resolution imagery (< 10cm) requires statistical models able to learn high level concepts from spatial data, with large appearance variations. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) achieve this goal by learning discriminatively a hierarchy of representations of increasing abstraction. In this paper we present a CNN-based system relying on an downsample-then-upsample architecture. Specifically, it first learns a rough spatial map of high-level representations by means of convolutions and then learns to upsample them back to the original resolution by deconvolutions. By doing so, the CNN learns to densely label every pixel at the original resolution of the image. This results in many advantages, including i) state-of-the-art numerical accuracy, ii) improved geometric accuracy of predictions and iii) high efficiency at inference time. We test the proposed system on the Vaihingen and Potsdam sub-decimeter resolution datasets, involving semantic labeling of aerial images of 9cm and 5cm resolution, respectively. These datasets are composed by many large and fully annotated tiles allowing an unbiased evaluation of models making use of spatial information. We do so by comparing two standard CNN architectures to the proposed one: standard patch classification, prediction of local label patches by employing only convolutions and full patch labeling by employing deconvolutions. All the systems compare favorably or outperform a state-of-the-art baseline relying on superpixels and powerful appearance descriptors. The proposed full patch labeling CNN outperforms these models by a large margin, also showing a very appealing inference time.

Subjects: subject: 004

description: Programmable devices are a key technology for the design of embedded systems, such as in the consumer electronics market. Processor cores are used as building blocks for more and more embedded system designs, since they provide a unique combination of features: flexibility and reusability. Processor-based design implies that compilers capable of generating efficient machine code are necessary. However, highly efficient compilers for embedded processors are hardly available. In particular, this holds for digital signal processors (DSPs). This contribution is intended to outline different aspects of DSP compiler technology. First, we cover demands on compilers for embedded DSPs, which are partially in sharp contrast to traditional compiler construction. Secondly, we present recent advances in DSP code optimization techniques, which explore a comparatively large search space in order to achieve high code quality. Finally, we discuss the different approaches to retargetability of compilers, that is, techniques for automatic generation of compilers from processor models.
title: Modulation of T cell responses by the products of Ascaris suum
Creators: name: Paterson, Jacqueline Clyde McEwen
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1999

description: Parasitic helminths infect over a billion people world-wide and contribute to one million deaths annually. Therefore, these parasites represent an enormous burden on human health and well-being. Amongst the most prevalent of helminth parasites is the round worm Ascaris. The development of protective immunity against helminth infections is characterised by eosinophilia, mastocytosis and elevated IgE antibody. These responses are known to be controlled by CD4+ T helper type-2 (Th2) cells through the cytokines they secrete following activation. The features of helminth infections that promote the induction of Th2-type immune responses are unknown but it has been suggested that parasite-derived products may have some involvement. The experiments presented in this thesis analysed the immune response resulting from infection with Ascaris suum in the murine host and the contribution of the parasite's products in this process. It was found that infection with Ascaris resulted in the generation of a Th2-type response that was influenced by the host MHC haplotype. Furthermore the Th2-type response generated by infection could be modulated following exposure to the pseudocolomic fluid (ABF) but not with the major allergen of Ascaris, ABA- 1. Immunomodulation by ABF was demonstrated further in its ability to suppress development of the Th1-associated delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction to a heterologous antigen. Immunomodulation by ABF did not require the presence of ABA-1 and was a stable phenomenon resistant to both heat and acid treatments. The future identification and analysis of the component of ABF responsible for this activity has important implications for the mechanisms by which helminth parasites modulate the immune response of their host, which has important implications for vaccine development and the control of pathology.

Compilers for Embedded Processors

Publisher: name: Universität Dortmund
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: 004

description: This talk responds to the rapidly increasing use of embedded processors for implementing systems. Such processors come in the form of discrete processors as well as in the form of core processors. They are available both from vendors and within system companies. Applications can be found in most segments of the embedded system market, such as automotive electronics and telecommunications. These applications demand for extremely efficient processor architectures, optimized for a certain application domain or even a certain application. Current compiler technology supports these architectures very poorly and has recently been recognized as a major bottleneck for designing systems quickly, efficiently and reliably. A number of recent research projects aim at removing this bottleneck. The talk will briefly discuss the trend towards embedded processors. We will show market trends and examples of recent embedded processors. We will also introduce the terms "application specific instruction-set processors" (ASIPs), "application-specific signal processors" (ASSPs), "soft cores" and "hard cores". We will then present new code optimization approaches taking the special characterstics of embedded processor architectures into account. In particular, we will present new memory allocation and code compaction algorithms. In the final section of the talk, we will present techniques for retargeting compilers to new architectures easily. These techniques are motivated by the need for domain- or application-dependent optimizations of processor architectures. The scope for such optimizations should not be restricted to hardware architectures but has to include the corresponding work on compilers as well. We will show, how compilers can be generated from descriptions of processor architectures. Presented techniques aim at bridging the gap between electronic CAD and compiler generation.

HST/COS Observations of Ionized Gas Accretion at the Disk-halo Interface of M33

description: We report the detection of accreting ionized gas at the disk-halo interface of the nearby galaxy M33. We analyze HST/COS absorption-line spectra of seven ultraviolet-bright stars evenly distributed across the disk of M33. We find Si IV absorption components consistently redshifted relative to the bulk M33's ISM absorption along all the sightlines. The Si IV detection indicates an enriched, disk-wide, ionized gas inflow toward the disk. This inflow is most likely multi-phase as the redshifted components can also be observed in ions with lower ionization states (e.g., S II, P II, Fe II, Si II). Kinematic modeling of the inflow is consistent with an accreting layer at the disk-halo interface of M33, which has an accretion velocity of 110$^{+15}_{-20}$ km s$^{-1}$ at a distance of 1.5$^{+1.0}_{-1.0}$ kiloparsec above the disk. The modeling indicates a total mass of $\sim3.9\times10^7$ M$_{\odot}$ for the accreting material at the disk-halo interface on the near side of the M33 disk , with an accretion rate of $\sim2.9$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The high accretion rate and the level of metal-enrichment suggest the inflow is likely to be the fall back of M33 gas from a galactic fountain and/or the gas pulled loosed during a close interaction between M31 and M33. Our study of M33 is the first to unambiguously reveal the existence of a disk-wide, ionized gas inflow beyond the Milky Way, providing a better understanding of gas accretion in the vicinity of a galaxy disk.

description: Dapsone is an effective antibacterial drug used to treat a variety of conditions. However, the aqueous solubility of this drug is limited, as is its permeability. This study expands the available solubility data pool for dapsone by measuring its solubility in several pure organic solvents: N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (CAS: 872-50-4), dimethyl sulfoxide (CAS: 67-68-5), 4-formylmorpholine (CAS: 4394-85-8), tetraethylene pentamine (CAS: 112-57-2), and diethylene glycol bis(3-aminopropyl) ether (CAS: 4246-51-9). Furthermore, the study proposes the use of intermolecular interactions as molecular descriptors to predict the solubility of dapsone in neat solvents and binary mixtures using machine learning models. An ensemble of regressors was used, including support vector machines, random forests, gradient boosting, and neural networks. Affinities of dapsone to solvent molecules were calculated using COSMO-RS and used as input for model training. Due to the polymorphic nature of dapsone, fusion data are not available, which prohibits the direct use of COSMO-RS for solubility calculations. Therefore, a consonance solvent approach was tested, which allows an indirect estimation of the fusion properties. Unfortunately, the resulting accuracy is unsatisfactory. In contrast, the developed regressors showed high predictive potential. This work documents that intermolecular interactions characterized by solute–solvent contacts can be considered valuable molecular descriptors for solubility modeling and that the wealth of encoded information is sufficient for solubility predictions for new systems, including those for which experimental measurements of thermodynamic properties are unavailable.

description: We derive the asymptotical distributions of two-sample U-statistics and two-sample empirical U-quantiles in the case of weakly dependent data. Our results apply to observations that can be represented as functionals of absolutely regular processes, including e.g. many classical time series models as well as data from chaotic dynamical systems. Based on these theoretical results we propose a new robust nonparametric test for the two-sample location problem, which is constructed from the median of pairwise differences between the two samples. We inspect the properties of the test in the case of weakly dependent data and compare the performance with classical tests such as the t-test and Wilcoxon’s two-sample rank test with corrections for dependencies. Simulations indicate that the new test offers better power even than the Wilcoxon test in case of skewed and heavy tailed distributions, if at least one of the two samples is not very large. The test is then applied for detecting shifts of location in some weakly dependent time series, which are contaminated by outliers.

An Assessment on the Practices and Challenges of Urban Productive Safety Net Program in Addis Ababa city Administration
Creators: name: Menen, Melese
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: In urban areas, poverty, food insecurity and vulnerability have been growing overtime and have never been addressed systematically until the design of urban productive safety net program. Since 2017, the program is being implemented in the largest 11 cities of the country (Addis Ababa, Harar, Gambela, Semera, Asosa, Mekelle, Dessie, Hawassa, Jigjiga, Dire Dawa and Adama). The first stage targets about 604,000 beneficiaries who are the poorest in these 11 cities. Given that urban poverty is concentrated in the capital city Addis Ababa, about three-quarters of the beneficiaries (around 400,000 people) would be from this city. The research study attempted to assess the effectiveness of the UPSNP in Addis Ababa city administration. Three sub cities with the highest poverty rate were purposive selected to identify the potential study participants from the study's target population. A total of 145 households were selected for the study. The data was collected using structured and semi structured questionnaires and interviews as well as secondary data. Descriptive statistics were employed to analyze the collected data. The finding shows that the program had a good start in establishing institutional and procedural arrangements. Also, in some extent the program had been implemented properly and improved the livelihood of the beneficiaries. To further improve the performance of the program, it is important to solve challenges in relation to targeting process, public work planning and procurement process.

description: In this work we investigated the longitudinal (zonal) variability of H$_2$O and ammonia (NH$_3$) hydrate ices on the surface of Charon through analysis of the 1.65 $μ$m and 2.21 $μ$m absorption features, respectively. Near-infrared spectra presented here were obtained between 2015-07-14 and 2015-08-30 UT with the OSIRIS integral field spectrograph on Keck I. Spectra centered on six different sub-observer longitudes were obtained through the Hbb (1.473-1.803 $μ$m) and Kbb (1.965-2.381 $μ$m) filters. Gaussian functions were fit to the aforementioned bands to obtain information on band center, band depth, full width at half maximum, and band area. The shift in the band center of the temperature-dependent 1.65 $μ$m feature was used to calculate the H$_2$O ice temperature. The mean temperature of the ice on the observable portion of Charon's surface is 45$\pm$14 K and we report no statistically significant variations in temperature across the surface. We hypothesize that the crystalline and amorphous phases of water ice reached equilibrium over 3.5 Gyr ago, with thermal recrystallization balancing the effects of irradiation amorphization. We do not believe that cryovolcanism is necessary to explain the presence of crystalline water ice on the surface of Charon. Absorption from ammonia species is detected between 12$^{\circ}$ and 290$^{\circ}$, in agreement with results from New Horizons. Ongoing diffusion of ammonia through the rocky mantle and upper layer of water ice is one possible mechanism for maintaining its presence in Charon's surface ice. Reduced Charon spectra corrected for telluric and solar absorption are available as supplementary online material.

description: In this paper, we have developed a new measure of understanding the temporal evolution of phase synchronization for EEG signals using cross-electrode information. From this measure it is found that there exists a small number of well-defined phase-synchronized states, each of which is stable for few milliseconds during the execution of a face perception task. We termed these quasi-stable states as synchrostates. We used k-means clustering algorithms to estimate the optimal number of synchrostates from 100 trials of EEG signals over 128 channels. Our results show that these synchrostates exist consistently in all the different trials. It is also found that from the onset of the stimulus, switching between these synchrostates results in well-behaved temporal sequence with repeatability which may be indicative of the dynamics of the cognitive process underlying that task. Therefore these synchrostates and their temporal switching sequences may be used as a new measure of the stability of phase synchrony and information exchange between different regions of a human brain.

Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this research is to improve and identify factors that affect public service delivery in Addis Ababa Fire and Emergence Prevention Rescue Authority. Descriptive study designs were employed in this study. Qualitative approaches (interview and observation) were used for exhaustive investigation of the study. The study populations were employees of City Fire and Emergency Prevention and Rescue Authority who works with the authority during 2016/17. A total of 314 employees and 5 key informants were participated in the study. The study is expected to provide information about improving public service delivery and factors that render service efficiency and effectiveness among FEPRA. The findings show that factors that render service efficiency and effectiveness like limited knowledge, attitudes, operational skills, poor communication, lack of financial and none financial rewards, lack of suitable environment, public transport services and absences of well-implemented rules and regulations. The study will help design appropriate intervention strategies on improving service delivery efficiency and similar outcomes by giving clear explanation to different managers and stakeholders.

description: We investigate real-space localization in the few-particle regime of the XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain with a random magnetic field. Our investigation focuses on the time evolution of the spatial variance of non-equilibrium densities, as resulting for a specific class of initial states, namely, pure product states of densely packed particles. Varying the strength of both particle-particle interactions and disorder, we numerically calculate the long-time evolution of the spatial variance $σ(t)$. For the two-particle case, the saturation of this variance yields an increased but finite localization length, with a parameter scaling different to known results for bosons. We find that this interaction-induced increase is the stronger the more particles are taken into account in the initial condition. We further find that our non-equilibrium dynamics are clearly inconsistent with normal diffusion and instead point to subdiffusive dynamics with $σ(t) \propto t^{1/4}$.

Abundance gradient

description: Radial abundance gradients in the Galactic disc are one of the most important observational constraints to study
 the chemical evolution of the Milky Way galaxy and also other galaxies in the universe. The radial gradient is the
 result of many physical processes that occur since the formation of the Galaxy, as e.g. the infalling gas to form the
 disc, the star formation history, radial gas flows and the radial migration of stars. Planetary nebulae (PNe) are the
 offspring of low and intermediate-mass stars consisting of an expanding, glowing shell of ionised gas ejected from
 red giant stars late in their lives. They have very intense optical emission lines and some elements observed in PNe
 are not modified during the progenitor star evolution, making then important tools to probe the Galactic chemical
 evolution. However, PNe distances are subject of great uncertainties, since, unlike main sequence stars, these
 objects do not have a physical parameter that is direct dependent of the distance. In this work, we have used Gaia
 DR3 database in order to derive reliable distances for a sample of 294 Galactic PNe. The radial gradient from the O,
 S, Ar and Ne are computed using the new distances in the radial range from 3 to 15 kpc. The results are consistent
 with a flatter gradient than previously found and with a change of the slope around 8 kpc, which coincides with the
 Milky Way corotation radius.

description: Since the 1970s there has been a strongly growing interest in considering the role of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) as a viable strategy for the poor. Ethiopia is also one of the countries where MSEs has been given due consideration as a safety net for the poor to help them overcome the adversities of poverty in post 1991. MSEs, as mentioned above, is basically set up with the goal of poverty alleviation. Hence, the situation whether the objective of these MSEs is met merits special consideration by way of impact assessment. Although several studies have been conducted so far, the impact of MSEs on poverty reduction still remains an issue to be addressed. This study tries to answer three important questions: are MSEs able to increase the income of the Managers/Operators as well as the other members of the enterprises who are taking part in MSEs of the sub city?;can MSEs contribute in alleviating poverty of the managers'/operators' as well as the other members of the enterprises' who are taking part in MSEs of the study area? and what are the constraints and problems with regards to MSEs operation in Gulele sub city? With the above objectives in mind, the research work employed questionnaires, key informants; focus group discussions, and observations to obtain primary data. In addition, secondary sources of data have also been used. Eventually, using a mix of qualitative and quantitative tools, the study found out that MSEs has played positive role in income, creation of employment and improving the quality of life of the participants , either the managers/operators or other members of the enterprises of the MSEs in the study area. However, shortage of start up capital; high interest rates; lack of skilled personnel; inadequate support from Government/NGOs; unaffordable tax and /or rent and lack of production place are among the major constraints for the operation and growth of MSEs. Hence, there is a need for strengthening the MSEs growth by expanding the micro- finance institutions and providing especial financial support for the sector. Government and NGOs support should also be focused on training and consultancy services or in general informative services concerning market, documentation or accounting system

Classification of simple heavy vector triplet models

description: We investigate decay modes of spin-1 heavy vector bosons ($V'$) from the viewpoint of perturbative unitarity in a model-independent manner. Perturbative unitarity requires some relations among couplings. The relations are called unitarity sum rules. We derive the unitarity sum rules from processes that contain two fermions and two gauge bosons. We find the relations between $V'$ couplings to the SM fermions $(f)$ and $V'$ couplings to the SM gauge bosons ($V$). Using the coupling relations, we calculate partial decay widths for $V'$ decays into $VV$ and $ff$. We show that Br($W' \to WZ) \lesssim$ 2$\%$ in the system that contains $V'$ and CP-even scalars as well as the SM particles. This result is independent of the number of the CP-even scalars. We also show that contributions of CP-odd scalars help to make Br($W' \to WZ$) larger than Br($W' \to ff$) as long as the CP-odd scalars couple to both the SM fermions and the SM gauge bosons. The existence of the CP-odd scalar couplings is a useful guideline to construct models that predict Br($W' \to WZ) \gtrsim$ 2$\%$. Our analysis relies only on the perturbative unitarity of $f\bar{f} \to WW'$. Therefore our result can be applied to various models.

Divide and Conquer: An Incremental Sparsity Promoting Compressive Sampling Approach for Polynomial Chaos Expansions

description: This paper introduces an efficient sparse recovery approach for Polynomial Chaos (PC) expansions, which promotes the sparsity by breaking the dimensionality of the problem. The proposed algorithm incrementally explores sub-dimensional expansions for a sparser recovery, and shows success when removal of uninfluential parameters that results in a lower coherence for measurement matrix, allows for a higher order and/or sparser expansion to be recovered. The incremental algorithm effectively searches for the sparsest PC approximation, and not only can it decrease the prediction error, it can also reduce the dimensionality of PCE model. Four numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach. The results from these examples show that the incremental algorithm substantially outperforms conventional compressive sampling approaches for PCE, in terms of both solution sparsity and prediction error.

description: This study investigated the effect of the serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) fluoxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine and the tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) impiramine on oxi-dative stress in brain and liver induced by lipopolysaccharide administration in mice. Each drug was administered subcutaneously at doses of 10 or 20 mg/kg, for two days prior to in-traperitoneal (i.p.) administration of lipopolysaccharide E (LPS: 200 μg/kg). Mice were euthanized 4 h after administration of the lipopolysaccharide. Lipid peroxidation (malondial-dehyde; MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and nitric oxide (nitrite/nitrate) concentrations were measured in brain and liver. Results: The administration of lipopolysaccharide increased oxidative stress in brain and liv-er; it increased brain MDA by 36.1 and liver MDA by 159.8 %. GSH decreased by 34.1 % and 64.8 % and nitric oxide increased by 78.7 % and 103.8 % in brain and liver, respectively. In brain, MDA decreased after the administration of sertraline and by the lower dose of fluo-xetine or fluvoxamine, but increased after the higher dose of imipramine. Reduced glutathione increased after sertraline, fluvoxamine and the lower dose of fluoxetine or imipramine. Nitric oxide decreased by sertraline, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine and by the lower dose of imipramine. In the liver, all drugs decreased MDA and increased GSH level. Nitric oxide is decreased by sertraline, fluvoxamine and by the lower dose of fluoxetine or imipramine. It is concluded that, during mild systemic inflammatory illness induced by peripheral bacterial endotoxin in-jection, the SSRIs fluoxetine, sertraline and fluvoxamine reduced, while the TCA impiramine increased oxidative stress induced in the brain. The SSRIs as well as imipramine reduced oxi-dative stress due to lipopolysaccharide in liver tissue.

description: Lorentz Invariance Violation introduced as a generic modification to particle dispersion relations is used to study high energy cosmic ray attenuation processes. It is shown to reproduce the same physical effects for vacuum Cherenkov radiation, as in some particular models with spontaneous breaking of Lorentz symmetry. This approximation is also implemented for the study of photon decay in vacuum, where stringent limits to the violation scale are derived from the direct observation of very high energy cosmic ray photon events on gamma telescopes. Photo production processes by cosmic ray primaries on photon background are also addressed, to show that Lorentz violation may turn off this attenuation process at energies above a well defined secondary threshold.
