description: Block copolymers synthesized via Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization from alkyl acrylate and t-butyl acrylate and the subsequent hydrolysis of the t-butyl acrylate to acrylic acid were systematically varied with respect to their hydrophobic part by the variation in the alkyl chain length and the degree of polymerisation in this block. Depending on the architecture of the hydrophobic part, they had a more or less pronounced tendency to form copolymer micelles in an aqueous solution. They were employed for the preparation of IPECs by mixing the copolymer aggregates with the polycations polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC) or q-chit. The IPEC structure as a function of the composition was investigated by Static Light and Small Angle Neutron Scattering. For weakly-associated block copolymers (short alkyl chain), complexation with polycation led to the formation of globular complexes, while already existing micelles (long alkyl chain) grew further in mass. In general, aggregates became larger upon the addition of further polycation, but this growth was much more pronounced for PDADMAC compared to q-chit, thereby leading to the formation of clusters of aggregates. Accordingly, the structure of such IPECs with a hydrophobic block depended largely on the type of complexing polyelectrolyte, which allowed for controlling the structural organisation via the molecular architecture of the two oppositely charged polyelectrolytes.

Light-Front Higher-Spin Theories in Flat Space

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

description: We revisit the problem of interactions of higher-spin fields in flat space. We argue that all no-go theorems can be avoided by the light-cone approach, which results in more interaction vertices as compared to the usual covariant approaches. It is stressed that there exist two-derivative gravitational couplings of higher-spin fields. We show that some reincarnation of the equivalence principle still holds for higher-spin fields - the strength of gravitational interaction does not depend on spin. Moreover, it follows from the results by Metsaev that there exists a complete chiral higher-spin theory in four dimensions. We give a simple derivation of this theory and show that the four-point scattering amplitude vanishes. Also, we reconstruct the quartic vertex of the scalar field in the unitary higher-spin theory, which turns out to be perturbatively local.

Challenges and Prospects of Commodity Exchange in Ethiopia. In the case of Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX)
Creators: name: Zelalem, Dessalew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: The general objective of this study was to assess the current commodity exchange practices in Ethiopia, in the case of Ethiopian commodity exchange. It also aimed to examine the existing prospects to commodity exchange and to explore the challenges faced by the Ethiopian commodity exchange. In order to meet these objectives, the study used qualitative research methods to explore the current commodity exchange practices in the study area. Consequently, stratified random sampling was used to select the informants of the study. The findings showed that the development of commodity exchanges in the country is impeded by the relatively small size of domestic commodity markets, weak physical and communication infrastructure, a lack of legal and regulatory environments, and the likelihood of policy interventions, particularly in the market for staple cereals. Meanwhile, the demand for a domestic commodity exchange for export crops may be limited due to the availability of well-established exchanges. The paper also highlights major prospects and future outlooks an exchange in the specific context of Ethiopia. Finally, The paper also recommend: the goals of risk management and reduced transaction costs in the Ethiopian commodity exchange might be achieved more effectively through investments in transportation, warehousing, information services, or other financial institutions which could support future establishment of a commodities exchange.

description: The increasing demand for electric drives challenges conventional powertrain designs and requires new technologies to increase production efficiency. Hairpin stator manufacturing technology enables full automation, and quality control within the process is particularly important for increasing the process capacity, avoiding rejects and for safety-related aspects. Due to the complex, free-form geometries of hairpin stators and the required short inspection times, inline reconstruction and accurate quantification of relevant features is of particular importance. In this study, we propose a novel method to estimate the creepage distance, a feature that is crucial regarding the safety standards of hairpin stators and that could be determined neither automatically nor accurately until now. The data acquisition is based on fringe projection profilometry and a robot positioning system for a highly complete surface reconstruction. After alignment, the wire pairs are density-based clustered so that computations can be parallelized for each cluster, and an analysis of partial geometries is enabled. In several further steps, stripping edges are segmented automatically using a novel approach of spatially asymmetric windowed local surface normal variation, and the creepage distances are subsequently estimated using a geodesic path algorithm. Finally, the approach is examined and discussed for an entire stator, and a methodology is presented that enables the identification of implausible estimated creepage distances.

description: The application of anti-corrosion coated, high-strength steels in the automotive industry has increased in recent years. In combination with various zinc-based surface coatings, liquid metal embrittlement cracking can be observed in some of these materials. A high-quality, crack-free spot-welded joint is essential to realize the lightweight potential of the materials. In this work, the LME susceptibility of different coatings, which will be determined by the crack length and the occurrence rate, will be investigated using a welding under external load setup. The uncoated specimens did not show any LME. EG, GI and GA showed significantly less LME than ZM coatings. The latter coatings showed much larger crack lengths than the EG, GI and GA coatings. Furthermore, two mechanisms regarding the LME occurrence rate were observed: the occurrence of LME in zinc–magnesium coatings was theorized to be driven by the material properties of the coatings, whereas the occurrence of LME at EG, GI and GA samples was forced mainly by the application of the external tensile load. In the experimental setup of this work, the materials were exposed to unusually high mechanical loads (up to 80% of their yield strength) to evoke LME cracks.

description: I review the concept of a {\em disorder operator}, introduced originally by Kadanoff in the context of the two-dimensional Ising model. Disorder operators acquire an expectation value in the disordered phase of the classical spin system. This concept has had applications and implications to many areas of physics ranging from quantum spin chains to gauge theories to topological phases of matter. In this paper I describe the role that disorder operators play in our understanding of ordered, disordered and topological phases of matter. The role of disorder operators, and their generalizations, and their connection with dualities in different systems, as well as with Majorana fermions and parafermions, is discussed in detail. Their role in recent fermion-boson and boson-boson dualities is briefly discussed.

On thermal corrections to near-threshold annihilation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider non-relativistic "dark" particles interacting through gauge boson exchange. At finite temperature, gauge exchange is modified in many ways: virtual corrections lead to Debye screening; real corrections amount to frequent scatterings of the heavy particles on light plasma constituents; mixing angles change. In a certain temperature and energy range, these effects are of order unity. Taking them into account in a resummed form, we estimate the near-threshold spectrum of kinetically equilibrated annihilating TeV scale particles. Weakly bound states are shown to "melt" below freeze-out, whereas with attractive strong interactions, relevant e.g. for gluinos, bound states boost the annihilation rate by a factor 4...80 with respect to the Sommerfeld estimate, thereby perhaps helping to avoid overclosure of the universe. Modestly non-degenerate dark sector masses and a way to combine the contributions of channels with different gauge and spin structures are also discussed.

Drag reduction in turbulent channel flow laden with finite-size oblate spheroids

description: We study suspensions of oblate rigid particles in a viscous fluid for different values of the particle volume fractions. Direct numerical simulations have been performed using a direct-forcing immersed boundary method to account for the dispersed phase, combined with a soft-sphere collision model and lubrication corrections for short-range particle-particle and particle-wall interactions. With respect to the single phase flow, we show that in flows laden with oblate spheroids the drag is reduced and the turbulent fluctuations attenuated. In particular, the turbulence activity decreases to lower values than those obtained by only accounting for the effective suspension viscosity. To explain the observed drag reduction we consider the particle dynamics and the interactions of the particles with the turbulent velocity field and show that the particle wall layer, previously observed and found to be responsible for the increased dissipation in suspensions of spheres, disappears in the case of oblate particles. These rotate significantly slower than spheres near the wall and tend to stay with their major axes parallel to the wall, which leads to a decrease of the Reynolds stresses and turbulence production and so to the overall drag reduction.

description: In this paper, we show the RCS enhancement due to the acoustic disturbances around a pulsating sphere. The acoustic variation is modeled with the dielectric inhomogeneities around the sphere caused by the pressure fluctuations due to the acoustic source. RCS is computed for the modeled dielectric pulsating sphere, a cube, and a cone on a cylinder across a frequency band using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. The RCS of the pulsating sphere and other objects considered are dominated by the background scattering from the pulsating object. In this work, we show that the dielectric variation due to the acoustic source can be detected even if there is no scattering from the object. The scattering from the dielectric variation leads to the detection of Bragg scattering along with a significant increase in RCS.

description: The purpose of this study was to assess community capacity building for full range participation in Arada Sub - City. Respondents were dwellers of the Sub -City, program coordinators of CSOs, executives of CSOs and administrators, supervisors and experts of concerned offices in Arada Sub - City administration. Questionnaires, interviews and document review techniques were employed. The statistical tools used to analyze data were percentage and tables. Descriptive method was used to attain the objective of the study. Both Qualitative and quantitative analysis was applied to elaborate the data collected through different methods . Hence, both quantitative and qualitative approaches were employed in the research to come up with the thesis report. The findings of the study revealed that the main roles and contributions of all actors: Arada Sub - City capacity building office , Children, Youth and Women office and Social and civil affairs office , informal CSOs such as Idir , Mahber and Equb and formal CSOs in community capacity building include : Changing community attitudes , giving technical support and advice , enhancing public awareness and community participation in different activities, entrepreneurial training , covering training costs, providing sponsorship for experience sharing, conducting awareness raising programs in social evil activities (such as rape, HIV/AIDS, child abuse), women`s right and others. The main challenges of CSOs in community capacity building include; mistrust with government, they are donor dependent, not yet fully accessed the grass - root problems which are hindering community participation in priority setting. The progress of community in participation on their own agendas is still poor . As well as the findings of the study implies that all activities of CCB which were carried out by different stack holders in Arada sub - city is not enough to create capable community because still now there are left out part of community in different public issues . Finally, the study concluded that even though Arada Sub - City capacity building office , Children, Youth and Women office and Social and civil affairs office are currently operating to build community capacity with other local and international CSOs and government agencies but, the participation of community in priority setting is very low; when we compare with the indicators of full range community participation (Four Ps +C or Priority setting, Planning, Producing, Paying (financing) and Consumption)

description: In the present molecular dynamics study, external ac driving is used at frequencies outside the phonon spectrum to excite gap DBs in uniformly strained graphene nanoribbon. Harmonic displacement or harmonic force is applied to a zigzag atomic chain of graphene. In the former case non-propagating DBs are excited on the atoms next to the driven atoms, while in the latter case the excited DBs propagate along the nanoribbon. The energy transfer along the nanoribbon assisted by the DBs is investigated in detail and the differences between harmonic displacement driving and harmonic force driving are discussed. It is concluded that the amplitude of external driving at out of phonon spectrum frequencies should not necessarily be large to obtain a noticeable energy transfer to the system. Overall, our results suggest that external harmonic driving even at relatively small driving amplitudes can be used to control excitation of DBs and consequently the energy transfer to the system.

description: Here, we present IDNet, a user authentication framework from smartphone-acquired motion signals. Its goal is to recognize a target user from their way of walking, using the accelerometer and gyroscope (inertial) signals provided by a commercial smartphone worn in the front pocket of the user's trousers. IDNet features several innovations including: i) a robust and smartphone-orientation-independent walking cycle extraction block, ii) a novel feature extractor based on convolutional neural networks, iii) a one-class support vector machine to classify walking cycles, and the coherent integration of these into iv) a multi-stage authentication technique. IDNet is the first system that exploits a deep learning approach as universal feature extractors for gait recognition, and that combines classification results from subsequent walking cycles into a multi-stage decision making framework. Experimental results show the superiority of our approach against state-of-the-art techniques, leading to misclassification rates (either false negatives or positives) smaller than 0.15% with fewer than five walking cycles. Design choices are discussed and motivated throughout, assessing their impact on the user authentication performance.

Business Failure Prediction (BFP) An Empirical Study on Ethiopian Private Enterprises
Creators: name: Tafa, Kisi
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: This study is an attempt to test and develop business failure prediction model for enterprises in Ethiopia using multivariate analyses. The study looked at the financial statements using a sample of ten failed and ten non-failed enterprises matched by industry and asset size from the recent 2005-2009 period and used five different financial ratios from liquidity, solvency, leverage, and profitability categories as classifying variables. It applied a revised Altman model developed for private companies to the sample and found that the performance of the model was not strong with successful classification rates of 70% and 65% one and two years prior to failure event respectively. Finally, using a stepwise MDA methodology, the study developed a new model that deemed to suitable in Ethiopian context and found that the model achieved considerable improvement in the successful classification rate that reached 85% and 70% one and two years prior to failure respectively.

description: The modeling of complex reaction-diffusion processes in, for instance, cellular biochemical networks or self-assembling soft matter can be tremendously sped up by employing a multiscale algorithm which combines the mesoscopic Green's Function Reaction Dynamics (GFRD) method with explicit stochastic Brownian, Langevin, or deterministic Molecular Dynamics to treat reactants at the microscopic scale [A. Vijaykumar, P.G. Bolhuis and P.R. ten Wolde, J. Chem. Phys. {\bf 43}, 21: 214102 (2015)]. Here we extend this multiscale BD-GFRD approach to include the orientational dynamics that is crucial to describe the anisotropic interactions often prevalent in biomolecular systems. We illustrate the novel algorithm using a simple patchy particle model. After validation of the algorithm we discuss its performance. The rotational BD-GFRD multiscale method will open up the possibility for large scale simulations of e.g. protein signalling networks.

description: Camera-based perception systems play a central role in modern autonomous vehicles. These camera based perception algorithms require an accurate calibration to map the real world distances to image pixels. In practice, calibration is a laborious procedure requiring specialised data collection and careful tuning. This process must be repeated whenever the parameters of the camera change, which can be a frequent occurrence in autonomous vehicles. Hence there is a need to calibrate at regular intervals to ensure the camera is accurate. Proposed is a deep learning framework to learn intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of the camera in real time. The framework is self-supervised and doesn't require any labelling or supervision to learn the calibration parameters. The framework learns calibration without the need for any physical targets or to drive the car on special planar surfaces.

description: An efficient algorithm for SU(2) symmetric matrix product states (MPS) with periodic boundary conditions (PBC) is proposed and implemented. It is applied to a study of the spectrum and correlation properties of the spin-1 bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model. We characterize the various phases of this model by the lowest states of the spectrum with angular momentum J = 0, 1, 2 for systems of up to 100 spins. Furthermore, we provide precision results for the dimerization correlator as well as the string correlator.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: In today's society, packaging is pervasive and essential. It surrounds, enhances and protects the goods we buy, from processing and manufacturing through handling and storage to the final consumer. Without packaging, materials handling would be a messy, inefficient and costly exercise and modern consumer marketing would be virtually impossible. (Lockhart H.E, 1989). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of packaging elements of cosmetic products on consumer purchase intention. The study consider packaging color, wrapping design, background image, fontstyle, packaging material, printed information, innovation and brand of packaging as independent variable and consumer purchase intention as dependent variable. This empirical study was conducted using survey through a set of questionnaires with 5-point likert scale. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed to different individuals lived in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia). Out of these 385 questionnaires were returned for data processing which gave the response rate of 96%. During data entry only 382 were used for statistical analysis by using SPSS micro soft excel. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, standard deviation, correlation and regression. The finding of the study shows that packaging color, wrapping design, background image, font style, packaging material and printed information of packaging elements significantly influence consumers' purchase intention of cosmetic products. Packaging innovation and brand on the package have no significant influence on consumers' purchase intention. Therefore, manufacturers of cosmetic products should give great attention to packaging elements that influences intention to buy the product to increase their market share and sales volume. Creative and technology based packaging for innovation and attractive and easily remember able packaging for brand may increase the influence of consumers to buy the product. So, packaging performs an important role in marketing communications, especially in the point of sale and could be treated as one of the most important factors influencing consumers' purchase intention

description: We address the astrophysical imaging of a family of deformed Kerr black holes (BHs). These are stationary, asymptotically flat black hole (BH) spacetimes, that are solutions of General Relativity minimally coupled to a massive, complex scalar field: Kerr BHs with scalar hair (KBHsSH). Such BHs bifurcate from the vacuum Kerr solution and can be regarded as a horizon within a rotating boson star. In a recent letter, it was shown that KBHsSH can exhibit very distinct shadows from the ones of their vacuum counterparts. The setup therein, however, considered the light source to be a celestial sphere sufficiently far away from the BH. Here, we analyse KBHsSH surrounded by an emitting torus of matter, simulating a more realistic astrophysical environment, and study the corresponding lensing of light as seen by a very far away observer, to appropriately model ground-based observations of Sgr A*. We find that the differences in imaging between KBHsSH and comparable vacuum Kerr BHs remain, albeit less dramatic than those observed for the corresponding shadows in the previous setup. In particular, we highlight two observables that might allow differentiating KBHsSH and Kerr BHs. The first is the angular size of the photon ring (in a Kerr spacetime) or lensing ring (in a KBHSH spacetime), the latter being significantly smaller for sufficiently non-Kerr-like spacetimes. The second is the existence of an edge in the intensity distribution (the photon ring in Kerr spacetime). This edge can disappear for very non-Kerr-like KBHsSH. It is plausible, therefore, that sufficiently precise Very Long Baseline Interferometric observations of BH candidates can constrain this model.

description: Analysis of traffic pattern recognition and traffic congestion expansion in real time are one of the exciting and challenging tasks which help the government to build a robust and sustainable traffic management system specially in a densely populated city like Dhaka. In this paper, we analyze the traffic intensity for small areas which are also known as junction points or corridors. We describe Dhaka city traffic expansion from a congestion point by using gravity model. However, we process real-time traffic data of Dhaka city rather than depend on survey and interview. We exactly show that traffic expansion of Dhaka city exactly follows gravity model. Expansion of traffic from a congestion point spreads out rapidly to its neighbor and impact of congested point decreases as the distance increases from that congested point. This analysis will help the government making a planned urbanized Dhaka city in order to reduce traffic jam.

The Effectiveness of Balanced Scorecard in Creating Strategy- Focused City Administration (The Case of Bole Sub City Trade Office)
Creators: name: Ermias, Legesse
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The main aim of this research paper is to identify the effectiveness of the Balanced Scorecard in creating a strategy focused city Administration by taking the case of Bole Sub City Trade Office. And according to Kaplan and Norton companies that have adopted the Balanced Scorecard, among other things, have been able to create a strategy – focused organization by following five common principles, which they refer to as principles of a strategy – focused organization, these are: translating the strategy to operational terms, align the organization to strategy, making strategy everyone's every day job, making strategy a continues process, and mobilizing change through executive leadership. Therefore, to evaluate how far the Balanced Scorecard has enabled the office to create a strategy – focused organization, the researcher forwarded five main questions that will help answer whether or not the above stated principles (except principle two, which is applicable to conglomerate type of organization), are at work. And it was possible to conclude that, there are some indications of the Balanced Scorecard's effectiveness in making the Bole Sub City Trade Office a strategy – focused organization. However, a very significant proportion of the key indicators or principles of a strategy – focused organization are not at work in the office. Some of the major causes of the challenges the office faced in using the Balanced Scorecard to create a strategy – focused organization are: Lack of skilled man power, man power turnover, lack of resources, politicization of public administration, lack of top management commitment, and lack of adequate knowledge in the subject matter. In line with this, it was recommended that the Bole Sub City Trade Office should acknowledge the system had in design and implementation stage and take corrective measures.

Does the configurational entropy of polydisperse particles exist?

description: Classical particle systems characterized by continuous size polydispersity, such as colloidal materials, are not straightforwardly described using statistical mechanics, since fundamental issues may arise from particle distinguishability. Because the mixing entropy in such systems is divergent in the thermodynamic limit we show that the configurational entropy estimated from standard computational approaches to characterize glassy states also diverges. This reasoning would suggest that polydisperse materials cannot undergo a glass transition, in contradiction to experiments. We explain that this argument stems from the confusion between configurations in phase space and states defined by free energy minima, and propose a simple method to compute a finite and physically meaningful configurational entropy in continuously polydisperse systems. Physically, the proposed approach relies on an effective description of the system as an $M^*$-component system with a finite $M^*$, for which finite mixing and configurational entropies are obtained. We show how to directly determine $M^*$ from computer simulations in a range of glass-forming models with different size polydispersities, characterized by hard and soft interparticle interactions, and by additive and non-additive interactions. Our approach provides consistent results in all cases and demonstrates that the configurational entropy of polydisperse system exists, is finite, and can be quantitatively estimated.

description: Bovine milk is one of the best pre-and pro-workout sources for athletes owing to its rich nutritional content. The consumption of bovine milk positively affects endurance, muscle strength, muscle damage, and recovery in athletes. Furthermore, bovine milk consumption after physical exercise has a positive effect on acute recovery, as well as chronic exercise adaptation. Thus, many athletes prefer to consume bovine milk and its products which provide a myriad of health benefits through its rich nutritional content.
