A Unified Theoretical Framework for Mapping Models for the Multi-State Hamiltonian
Creators: name: Liu, Jian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a new unified theoretical framework to construct equivalent representations of the multi-state Hamiltonian operator and present several approaches for the mapping onto the Cartesian phase space. After mapping an F-dimensional Hamiltonian onto an F+1- dimensional space, creation and annihilation operators are defined such that the F+1 dimensional space is complete for any combined excitations. Commutation and anti-commutation relations are then naturally derived, which show that the underlying degrees of freedom are neither bosons nor fermions. This sets the scene for developing equivalent expressions of the Hamiltonian operator in quantum mechanics and their classical/semiclassical counterparts. Six mapping models are presented as examples. The framework also offers a novel way to derive such as the well-known Meyer-Miller model.
Assessment and Mitigation of Voltage Drops on Traction Lines: Case Study of Sebeta-Adama Line
Creators: name: Kassu, Bekele
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The transmission line in an electrified railway system must provide power transmission within the voltage limit at safe and quality conditions. Therefore, system analysis within the traction power system is vital to the design and operation of an electrified railway. Loads in traction power system are often characterized by their mobility, wide range of power variations, regeneration and service dependence. One of the main problems in the railway supply stations are the voltage drops due to the changes of the load. Voltage drop in electrified railway have an influence on the location of traction substation (reduces distance between traction transformer and section post length) and operating railway transport in a such condition disturbs transportation system, as a result the reactive power compensator should be installed to have a better voltage at receiving end. Ethiopian railway cooperation is constructing national railway transport from Sebeta to Meiso with seven feeding traction substation from Sebeta to Adama. In this thesis traction network voltage drop analysis is undertaken for various feeding condition. Taking sample section from Sebeta substation to Indode substation analyses of the traction network voltage drop over the feeding condition has been conducted for different loading cases. The modeling and simulation of the system is done by MATLAB/SIMULINK software. The systems without Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) have been simulated to investigate the voltage drop for different operating cases. Accordingly, the voltage drop for normal operation case is 5.922kV which is 27.55% voltage regulation. The voltage at the end point of the section is 21.56kV and is within the standard limit (TB10009-2005). However, the voltage drop for over zone (two consecutive sections without section post) is increased to 49.89% and the voltage at end point of the section becomes 18.346kV which is beyond the standard limit. With the STATCOM, for normal operation case the voltage regulation becomes almost zero and for the over zone operation it is reduced to 0.07%. This result clearly indicate that STATCOM application improve the voltage profile and performance of the railway systems.

description: We perform theoretical investigation of the localized state dynamics in the presence of interaction with the reservoir and Coulomb correlations. We analyze kinetic equations for electron occupation numbers with different spins taking into account high order correlation functions for the localized electrons. We reveal that in the stationary state electron occupation numbers with the opposite spins always have the same value - the stationary state is a $"$paramagnetic$"$ one. $"$Magnetic$"$ properties can appear only in the non-stationary characteristics of the single-impurity Anderson model and in the dynamics of the localized electrons second order correlation functions. We found, that for deep energy levels and strong Coulomb correlations, relaxation time for initial $"$magnetic$"$ state can be several orders larger than for $"$paramagnetic$"$ one. So, long-living $"$magnetic$"$ moment can exist in the system. We also found non-stationary spin polarized currents flowing in opposite directions for the different spins in the particular time interval.

Design of Passenger Information System and Smart Passenger Crowdedness Avoidance: Case of AALRT
Creators: name: Yetages, Rorissa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit is playing a prominent role in alleviating the city's transportation problem. Currently, it only has an onboard passenger information system, and there is no wayside passenger information system. Consequently, passengers waiting at the station are unable to know if a train is coming, the estimated arrival time of the train, the crowdedness level on the train and whether the train is single or coupled. The other challenge is that on pick hours there exist a high passenger crowdedness on the trains which makes the service unintentionally unfair as only who can survive the high congestion on the train use the service. The primary objective of this thesis is to avoid the existing passenger information system problems of Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit by devising a reliable passenger information system and come up with a cost-effective solution for the current passenger over crowdedness problem. Hence, a passenger information system was designed by developing a website, an Android application and station displays which will all show the available space on the next train, the number of passengers expected to get off on that station, and its estimated remaining time of arrival. The simulation result showed that we achieved the stated objective as it can give detail information about the train for each passengers waiting at the stations. In addition to this, we introduced a passenger overcrowding solution. It is a passenger counting system that will put a limit on passengers getting on a train when the train load exceeds its carrying capacity. Android based point of sale (POS) ticketing device is proposed to be used as a passenger counter and ticketing at the same time. It is expected that the current manual ticketing problems encountered by Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit can be solved by this device.

Sources of Filters for Assemblage Composition and Functional Traits Related to Movement in Urban Carabids
Creators: name: Roberts, Michael B
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Insect communities are sensitive to changes in their environment, including those made by development in human dominated landscapes. Previous research has shown that as urbanization increases, the assemblage of ground beetles (Carabidae) in an area shifts towards species with higher dispersal ability. There is also a turnover of species from forest specialists to generalist and grassland specialist species. While these impacts of urbanization are well known, what characteristic of urbanization produces a given change is not well established. I captured ground beetles in unmowed spaces managed as tallgrass preserves, mowed lawns near the preserves, and mowed lawns distant from preserves. Sites were characterized by being mowed or unmowed, the percentage of impervious surface as ground cover surrounding a site, and distance to the nearest tallgrass habitat. Each ground beetle was identified to species or morphospecies and traits related to dispersal ability were recorded. To describe an insect’s dispersal ability, each beetle’s wing condition (macropterous or brachypterous) was noted, and their leg length and body size were measured. Here I compare the effects of two anthropogenic causes of site isolation and one form of disturbance on the community composition and dispersal traits of urban ground beetles. I find that each cause of isolation has an impact on different aspects of the local community. Distance to the nearest tallgrass preserve is associated with species presence/absence at a site while the amount of impervious surface surrounding the site along with mowing filter for specific dispersal traits. I also find that mowing and the impervious surface surrounding a site have opposing effects on the local community’s leg length relative to body size. These findings further our knowledge about how cities filter insect species by identifying specific components of urbanization that need to be treated separately when analyzing how urban ground beetle communities form.

description: An accurate control of the optical properties of single crystal diamond during microfabrication processes such as ion implantation plays a crucial role in the engineering of integrated photonic devices. In this work we present a systematic study of the variation of both real and imaginary parts of the refractive index of single crystal diamond, when damaged with 2 and 3 MeV protons at low-medium fluences (range: 10^15 - 10^17 cm^-2). After implanting in 125x125 um^2 areas with a scanning ion microbeam, the variation of optical pathlength of the implanted regions was measured with laser interferometric microscopy, while their optical transmission was studied using a spectrometric set-up with micrometric spatial resolution. On the basis of a model taking into account the strongly non-uniform damage profile in the bulk sample, the variation of the complex refractive index as a function of damage density was evaluated.

The Influence of Competition on Performance of Microfinance Institutions in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Addisalem, Gaim

Year: 2015

description: The modern microfinance concept is broadening its target from poor clients that have no access to conventional financial services to the idea of financial inclusion. For this reason, commercial banks are downscale their operational activities to the poor to ensure financial inclusion by introducing new technology like mobile banking and these incidents have changed the tendency of competition which attract the attention of investors. This study examined factors that influence financial performance of MFIs in Ethiopian with special emphasis on competition. An econometrics tool (Eviews-7) is used to generate regression of the balanced panel data from 10 MFIs consisting of 100 observations, covering the periods started from 2005 – 2014, and provided the basis for the descriptive and regression analysis. Ethiopian MFIs are yet not financially self sufficient since the mean average of FSS is below breakeven point (100 percent) which is (96.5 percent), this indicated that if subsidy from government or donors might stop at any time; the MFIs would unable to cover their financial and operational costs through their operating revenues. The results indicate that MFIs' financial performance is negatively and significantly influenced by the market concentration ratio, PAR>90 days and operational expense ratio/operational efficiency. Thus, operational efficiency, portfolio quality and competition are important factors of MFIs' financial performance in Ethiopia. The competition has direct impact on the performance of microfinance in Ethiopia so the regulatory body needs to relax the criteria for new entry to the market. MFIs in Ethiopia are high cost sensitive so the boards and senior management of respective MFIs must give due attention to the cost management of MFIs

description: We present observations made with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) and the Giant Metre-Wave Telescope of the radio source within the galaxy WISE~J071634.59-190039.2, claimed to be host of FRB~150418 by Keane et al. (2016). We have established a common flux density scale between the ATCA and JVLA observations, the main result of which is to increase the flux densities obtained by Keane et al. At a frequency of 5.5 GHz, the source has a mean flux density of 140uJy and is variable on short timescales with a modulation index of 0.36. Statistical analysis of the flux densities shows that the variations seen are consistent with refractive interstellar scintillation of the weak active galactic nucleus at the centre of the galaxy. It may therefore be the case that the FRB and the galaxy are not associated. However, taking into account the rarity of highly variable sources in the radio sky, and our lack of knowledge of the progenitors of FRBs as a class, the association between WISE~J071634.59-190039.2 and FRB~150418 remains a possibility.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL FACIAL ANTHROPOMETRY

Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2010

description: The use of 3D surface technology is progressively increasing in health clinics and research centers. Methods of capturing 3D facial surface may obtain more imaging information providing a reliable and fast analysis. Stereophotogrammetry is a promising method of soft-tissue evaluation that allows reliable analysis of craniofacial deformities, providing fundamental parameters to plan and evaluate dental treatments and maxillofacial surgery, so improving the multi-disciplinary and multi-species studies of genotype?phenotype correlations through simple and precise measurements. In the current study, photogrammetry/stereophotogrammetry systems were used to evaluate soft-tissue facial morphology and dental casts. Three-dimensional images were collected and rebuilt in 3D, using software for rendering images to establish, analyze and compare morphology features of craniofacial structures, and to assess the usage and limitations of these devices. The use and investigation of this system were divided in 4 studies: 1) A photographic system for the three-dimensional study of facial morphology; 2) Accuracy and reproducibility of a 3D stereophotogrammetry imaging system; 3) Digital dental cast placement in 3-dimensional, full-face reconstruction: A technical evaluation and 4) Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate (UCLP): a 3D evaluation. The current studies found the used 3D image systems both accurate and repeatable. The 3D devices and the methods analyzed in these studies could therefore be usefully used for clinical analysis in maxillofacial, plastic and esthetic surgery, as well as in all dental fields. The 3D stereophotogrammetric systems have several advantages over direct anthropometry and gradually are becoming into more accessible cost, replacing classical methods to quantify surface topography.

description: Stress in Railway transportation systems results usually on the contact area between wheel and rail. These high stress which presents on the contact point results damage on the wheel. Damage in railway is resulting from contact between wheel and rail; and a variety of changes to the wheel that may reduce serviceability. The damage assessment in wheel-rail contact is a very complex problem, as is affected by many parameters (materials, load history, climatic condition and others) and different damage mechanisms can occur. The main objective of this research deals with Analyze the Influence of Train Overloading on Wheel Surface Damage in the case of AALRT. The contacts of wheel and rail in straight track are a non-conformal contact which is between wheels tread and rail head. The analysis is done using hertz wheel rail contact theory; and also modeled and analyzed using CATIA and ANSYS software. The materials of the wheels have different mechanical properties but the same structural dimensions and profiles. Deformation, stress, fatigue life and fatigue damage of wheels are analyzed using ANSYS and different results on the wheel materials are observed. Deformation and stress on the wheel increases due to the increment of applied load and these results high fatigue damage on the wheel and decrease materials fatigue life. The fatigue life (76,262) of CL60 wheels are less with high deformation and damage (13,113) compared with R8T and ER7 (fatigue life (123,140) and damage (8,120.7)) wheel materials. As observed from the results ER7 wheel have long life with less deformation and damage than other wheel materials CL60 and R8T wheels. And it may provide improved performances, minimize the sensitivity of overloading and can provide longer life.

description: Measurement of an observable on a quantum system involves a probabilistic collapse of the quantum state and a corresponding measurement outcome. Lüders and von Neumann state update rules attempt to describe the above phenomenological observations. These rules are identical for a nondegenerate observable, but differ for a degenerate observable. While Lüders rule preserves superpositions within a degenerate subspace under a measurement of the corresponding degenerate observable, the von Neumann rule does not. Recently Hegerfeldt and Mayato [Phys. Rev. A, 85, 032116 (2012)] had formulated a protocol to discriminate between the two types of measuring devices. Here we have reformulated this protocol for quantum registers comprising of system and ancilla qubits. We then experimentally investigated this protocol using nulear spin systems with the help of NMR techniques, and found that Lüders rule is favoured.

description: Ion implantation is widely used to modify the structural, electrical and optical properties of materials. By appropriate masking, this technique can be used to define nano- and micro-structures. However, depending on the type of mask used, experiments have shown that vacancy-related substrate modification can be inferred tens of microns away from the edge of the mask used to define the implanted region. This could be due to fast diffusion of vacancies from the implanted area during annealing or to a geometric effect related to ion scattering around the mask edges. For quantum and single-atom devices, stray ion damage can be deleterious and must be minimized. In order to profile the distribution of implantation-induced damage, we have used the nitrogen-vacancy colour centre as a sensitive marker for vacancy concentration and distribution following MeV He ion implantation into diamond and annealing. Results show that helium atoms implanted through a mask clamped to the diamond surface are scattered underneath the mask to distances in the range of tens of micrometers from the mask edge. Implantation through a lithographically defined and deposited mask, with no spacing between the mask and the substrate, significantly reduces the scattering to <5 m but does not eliminate it. These scattering distances are much larger than the theoretically estimated vacancy diffusion distance of 260 nm under similar conditions. This paper shows that diffusion, upon annealing, of vacancies created by ion implantation in diamond is limited and the appearance of vacancies many tens of micrometers from the edge of the mask is due to scattering effects.

Geometric Approximation Algorithms for Metric Learning and Poisoning

description: Machine learning tasks such as nearest neighbor and clustering depend on a good representation of the input data. A good representation is one where distance quantifies dissimilarity between pairs of data points. Metric learning aims to find such good representation by mapping input data to points in some metric space. However, the input data can be contaminated by the presence of adversarial data. For this reason, a desirable property of machine learning algorithms is robustness in the presence of such adversarial data. Several algorithms that are robust to small perturbations in the input data have been proposed. However, it is generally not clear how to provably compare the robustness of these algorithms. In this dissertation, we present approximation algorithms for learning Mahalanobis metric spaces even when a small fraction of the data set is adversarial, with theoretical guaranties. To that end, we consider a formulation of Mahalanobis metric learning as an optimization problem, where the objective is to minimize the number of violated similarity/dissimilarity constraints. We show that for any fixed ambient dimension, there exists a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) with nearly-linear running time. Next, we present efficient algorithms for poisoning data sets against k-center and k-means clustering. Formally, given a set of points, $X$, our algorithms compute a small set of poison points, $P$, such that the performance of the chosen clustering method degrades as much as possible on $X\cup P$, compared to the original data set, $X$. We obtain efficient poisoning approximation algorithms that achieve $\frac{1}{6}$-approximation for $k$-center clustering and $(\Omega(1/k^2),2)$-approximation for $k$-means clustering compared to optimal poisoning.We corroborate our theoretical results with experimental evidence that our methods can be used to evaluate the robustness of clustering algorithms. Finally, we present an algorithm for poisoning datasets against k-NN classification by flipping a small portion of the labels through the application of multi-scale random partitions.

Automatic Slip Controller for Railway Vehicles Using Fuzzy Logic
Creators: name: Emebet, Gebeyehu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The moment applied on the wheel by the traction motor has to be transferred in to tangential force in order to guarantee the longitudinal motion of train vehicle. The force that is transmitted between wheels and rail is called the adhesion force which is the product of normal force and adhesion coefficient. The adhesion coefficient depends on the slip velocity, conditions of rail surface, a train velocity and temperature in the contact area. From parameters that can influence the adhesion coefficient slip velocity the vital one. Therefore slip controlling is important in order to prevent wear of the wheels and the rail and to use the present adhesion effectively. On this thesis the relation between the wheel road adhesion force coefficient and slip ratio is developed based on Burckhardt Static Modell (BSM) which treats the wheel as a circular beam supported by springs. First the longitudinal slip ratio is to be calculated as the speed difference of the driven and non-driven wheels. Where, the non-driven wheel presents speed of the train vehicle and the driven wheel velocity is considered as the wheel-rail contact specimen. Then adhesion torque observer is designed in order to estimate the existing adhesion in real time. This torque is then applied as a load torque for Proportional Integral (PI) controller based speed loop. After developing proper speed loop to control wheel speed, Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) based slip controller is installed inside to compensate traction torque fluctuation caused by adhesion load. The FLC has two inputs namely the slip ratio error and the rate of slip ratio error. Using linguistic rules to increase and decrease compensating torque, the FLC generates adhesion coefficient which will be multiplied by the normal force and wheel radius to be added or subtracted from the traction torque. Then the advantage of the controller is evaluated by considering the speed response with and without the slip controller. For the slip ratio varying drastically from 0.7 to 0.01 and vice versa, the wheel speed response shows up to 50% overshoot and undershoot in the early stage of the accelerating speed. However, the FLC slip controller compensates this up and down to 6% which is a remarkable result to smooth the motion of the system.
Isomorphism between the multi-state Hamiltonian and the second-quantized many-electron Hamiltonian with only 1-electron interactions

description: We introduce the isomorphism between the multi-state Hamiltonian and the second-quantized many-electron Hamiltonian (with only 1-electron interactions). This suggests that all methods developed for the former can be employed for the latter, and vice versa. The resonant level (Landauer) model for nonequilibrium quantum transport is used as a proof-of-concept example. Such as the classical mapping models for the multi-state Hamiltonian proposed in our previous work [J. Chem. Phys. (submitted)] lead to exact results for this model problem. We further demonstrate how these methods can also be applied to the second-quantized many-electron Hamiltonian even when 2-electron interactions are included.
Numerical Simulation of Passenger Train Aerodynamics in Tunnels

description: In the present study, an analysis to investigate the aerodynamic drag and related pressure characteristics of the passenger train traveling in tunnel is performed. In particular, the effect of aerodynamic loads on the Ethiopian National passenger train at speed of 120 km/hr operating in open field and as it travels through in currently constructing Addi-onfito tunnel with 179m length is analyzed. The aerodynamic drag and pressure loads developed on the train are estimated and compared; while the train is moving in open field and while the train travels in the tunnel. In addition the study also investigated the effect of the blockage ratio of an underground train upon the aerodynamic drag and pressure developed on a train body, by altering the train-tunnel gaps. The investigation uses computational fluid dynamics techniques (CFD). First a numerical simulation was developed to estimate the aerodynamic drag and peak pressures on operational passenger train operating in open filed and underground railway with existing tunnel crosssectional area and blockage ratio which is currently under construction. The results of the study show that in existing high blockage ratio underground railways, the pressure acting on the train body experienced huge fluctuations as the train moved along the current Addi-onfito tunnel. The maximum pressure change (∆�� ������ ) on the train body reaches around the value of 4.36 kPa, which exceeds the maximum admissible limit of change in pressure on train body travelling in tunnel. There is significant increment of the aerodynamic drag approximately 3.65 times that of the train in open field. Peak-pressures experienced are also greater on all train position when the train travels in the tunnel as compared to the train travelling in open field. Then the blockage ratio of the underground railway is varied (by increasing the train-tunnel gaps) to evaluate the effects upon aerodynamic drag and pressure developed. The simulation results shows that due to reduction of the blockage ratio by 12.19% of train in tunnel the value of maximum pressure change (∆�� ������ ) on the train body reduced to around 3.20 kPa, which satisfy the maximum admissible limit of change in pressure on train body travelling in tunnel. Due to reduction of blockage ratio; the magnitude of the drag force decreased by 28.46% at constant train speed and tunnel length. These results of reduction of aerodynamic drag and pressure is enormous indicating that without affecting the shape and speed of the train one can save 28.48% of aerodynamic power requirements by little modification of the blockage ratio.
