description: This thesis aims to provide a strong foundation for successful adoption of electronic textbooks (e-Textbooks) in school education. E-Textbooks are digitized forms of textbooks which have been envisioned to replace existing paper-based textbooks due to its educational advantages. In the context of this research they are textbooks adapted to the national school curriculum. Therefore, it is of paramount importance for the relevant parties (i.e. national and state governments, or school districts) to address their educational policy and identify the challenges they might face, as well as to identify decisions and projects they need to launch in order to provide educational advantages for students that can be applied nation-wide. This thesis starts by providing a brief overview of e-Textbooks, and subsequently an extensive discussion on challenges associated with e-Textbooks in the pursuit of replacing traditional textbooks with e-Textbooks. Additionally, this thesis further provides an extensive review on how the challenges have been approached using existing e-Textbook technologies, such as multi-touch technology, e-Paper, Web 2.0 and cloud computing. The main focus of this thesis is to develop and validate “the E-Textbook in Education Policy: ETiP”, focusing on Eight domains (Policy, Infrastructure, Curriculum, Educational content, Standardisation, Human resource, Education Information System and Social study). The ETiP has been developed using the following set of three stages: 1) The Developing Stage in which computers are supplied to schools and computer networks are built at the basic level. Basic curriculum studies of e-Textbooks are conducted by the relevant national authority; 2) The Take-off Stage is reached when the construction of infrastructure required for the usage of electronic textbooks in schools is completed. At this stage, prototypes of e-Textbooks are developed; pilot testing is conducted at schools; and, 3) The Expansion Stage, where new educational content is further developed and revised with the enhancement of infrastructure as time goes by. The distribution of the e-Textbook is also conducted nationwide.

description: Let $X:=\mathrm{Spec}(R)$ be an affine Noetherian scheme, and $\mathcal{M} \subset \mathcal{N}$ be a pair of finitely generated $R$-modules. Denote their Rees algebras by $\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{M})$ and $\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{N})$. Let $\mathcal{N}^{n}$ be the $n$th homogeneous component of $\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{N})$ and let $\mathcal{M}^{n}$ be the image of the $n$th homegeneous component of $\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{M})$ in $\mathcal{N}^n$. Denote by $\overline{\mathcal{M}^{n}}$ be the integral closure of $\mathcal{M}^{n}$ in $\mathcal{N}^{n}$. We prove that $\mathrm{Ass}_{X}(\mathcal{N}^{n}/\overline{\mathcal{M}^{n}})$ and $\mathrm{Ass}_{X}(\mathcal{N}^{n}/\mathcal{M}^{n})$ are asymptotically stable, generalizing known results for the case where $\mathcal{M}$ is an ideal or where $\mathcal{N}$ is a free module. Suppose either that $\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ are free at the generic point of each irreducible component of $X$ or $\mathcal{N}$ is contained in a free $R$-module. When $X$ is universally catenary, we prove a generalization of a classical result due to McAdam and obtain a geometric classification of the points appearing in $\mathrm{Ass}_{X}(\mathcal{N}^{n}/\overline{\mathcal{M}^{n}})$. Notably, we show that if $x \in \mathrm{Ass}_{X}(\mathcal{N}^{n}/\overline{\mathcal{M}^{n}})$ for some $n$, then $x$ is the generic point of a codimension-one component of the nonfree locus of $\mathcal{N}/\mathcal{M}$ or $x$ is a generic point of an irreducible set in $X$ where the fiber dimension $\mathrm{Proj}(\mathcal{R}(\mathcal{M})) \rightarrow X$ jumps. We prove a converse to this result without requiring $X$ to be universally catenary. Many of our results are stated and proved more generally for standard graded algebras. Also, we recover, strengthen, and prove a sort of converse of an important result of Kleiman and Thorup about integral dependence of modules.

description: We prove several basic ring-theoretic results about tautological rings of manifolds W, that is, the rings of generalised Miller--Morita--Mumford classes for fibre bundles with fibre W. Firstly we provide conditions on the rational cohomology of W which ensure that its tautological ring is finitely-generated, and we show that these conditions cannot be completely relaxed by giving an example of a tautological ring which fails to be finitely-generated in quite a strong sense. Secondly, we provide conditions on torus actions on W which ensure that the rank of the torus gives a lower bound for the Krull dimension of the tautological ring of W. Lastly, we give extensive computations in the tautological rings of CP^2 and S^2 x S^2.

description: The goal of this work on mathematical cosmology and geometric methods in modified gravity theories, MGTs, is to investigate Starobinsky-like inflation scenarios determined by gravitational and scalar field configurations mimicking quasicrystal, QC, like structures. Such spacetime aperiodic QCs are different from those discovered and studied in solid state physics but described by similar geometric methods. We prove that an inhomogeneous and locally anisotropic gravitational and matter field effective QC mixed continuous and discrete "aether" can be modeled by exact cosmological solutions in MGTs and Einstein gravity. The coefficients of corresponding generic off-diagonal metrics and generalized connections depend (in general) on all spacetime coordinates via generating and integration functions and certain smooth and discrete parameters. Imposing additional nonholonomic constraints, prescribing symmetries for generating functions and solving the boundary conditions for integration functions and constants, we can model various nontrivial torsion QC structures or extract cosmological Levi--Civita configurations with diagonal metrics reproducing de Sitter (inflationary) like and other types homogeneous inflation and acceleration phases. Finally, we speculate how various dark energy and dark matter effects can be modeled by off-diagonal interactions and deformations of a nontrivial QC like gravitational vacuum structure and analogous scalar matter fields.

The Effect of Reward Management on Employee Motivation: The case of Ethiopia Commodity Exchange
Creators: name: Kebede, Yared
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2013

description: Reward system is one of the most essential parts in a company's development and success. In order to maximize the overall performance of the company, it is vital for an employer to understand how employees perceived the fairness of the reward system, and motivated by the rewards given by the company. This study sought to find out that the effect of reward management on employees' motivation in Ethiopia Commodity Exchange. Data were collected through questionnaire prepared based on various scholars work. The validity of the instrument was checked and internal consistency of the instrument was measured using Cronbach Alpha and the result was 79%. Considering the manageability of number of employees in the Exchange, the researcher used census method to incorporate all of the employees by excluding those who are not served the exchange above one year. A total of 107 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents. Of the total distributed questionnaires, 91 usable questionnaires were returned which is about 87.5% response rate. With respect to the dimensions of employee motivation assed by the questionnaire, the result indicates that the mean values for the payment, benefit, promotion, working condition, recognition and leadership rated by respondents with their motivation level ranged from a low of 2.72 to a high of 3.84. The values of correlation coefficient in case of significant relationship vary from lowest (0.333**) to highest (0.620**). There is statistically direct significant and positive relationship between non-financial reward and employee motivation (r = .749, p <0.01). The results also indicates that there is a statistically positive significant and direct existing relationship between financial reward and employees motivation (r= .445, p < 0.01) but this relationship is less as compared to the non-financial rewards. The results of regression analysis shows that; 11% variance in employee motivation is explained by Payment, 18% change in employee motivation is due to Benefits, 36% change in employee motivation is due to Promotion, 38% change in employee motivation is due to Recognition, 37% change in employee motivation is due to Work Condition and 26% change in employee motivation is due to Leadership. On top of that, a significant portion of employees considered the reward system in ECX as less motivating, unfair, and seemed to be less engaged, and committed to the organization.

description: Vindicating a sophisticated but non-rigorous physics approach called the cavity method, we establish a formula for the mutual information in statistical inference problems induced by random graphs and we show that the mutual information holds the key to understanding certain important phase transitions in random graph models. We work out several concrete applications of these general results. For instance, we pinpoint the exact condensation phase transition in the Potts antiferromagnet on the random graph, thereby improving prior approximate results [Contucci et al.: Communications in Mathematical Physics 2013]. Further, we prove the conjecture from [Krzakala et al.: PNAS 2007] about the condensation phase transition in the random graph coloring problem for any number $q\geq3$ of colors. Moreover, we prove the conjecture on the information-theoretic threshold in the disassortative stochastic block model [Decelle et al.: Phys. Rev. E 2011]. Additionally, our general result implies the conjectured formula for the mutual information in Low-Density Generator Matrix codes [Montanari: IEEE Transactions on Information Theory 2005].

description: Given an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic zero, a Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over $\Bbbk$ and an associative, commutative $\Bbbk$-algebra $A$ with unit, a Lie superalgebra of the form $\mathfrak{g} \otimes_\Bbbk A$ is known as a map superalgebra. Map superalgebras generalize important classes of Lie superalgebras, such as, loop superalgebras (where $A=\Bbbk[t, t^{-1}]$), and current superalgebras (where $A=\Bbbk[t]$). In this paper, we define Weyl functors, global and local Weyl modules for all map superalgebras where $\mathfrak{g}$ is either $\mathfrak{sl} (n,n)$ with $n \ge 2$, or a finite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebra not of type $\mathfrak{q}(n)$. Under certain conditions on the triangular decomposition of these Lie superalgebras we prove that global and local Weyl modules satisfy certain universal and tensor product decomposition properties. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for local (resp. global) Weyl modules to be finite dimensional (resp. finitely generated).

A remote machine condition monitoring framework for intelligent fault diagnosis and prognosis

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Accurate remote equipment health monitoring systems can improve the efficiency of the agile processes e.g. agile manufacturing facilities, processing, mining and utilities etc. The impairments in industrial equipment are inevitable over the time. These impairments could be due to continuous meshing of the mechanical components, environment issues or nonidealistic operating conditions such as contaminated electrical supplies etc. Despite of deterioration in the industrial equipment, in order to ensure reliable process operation, a robust online condition monitoring system becomes need of the hour. An efficient online condition monitoring system can provide predictive repair maintenance schedule well ahead of the breakdown instances. In this research work, a framework for remote machine condition monitoring is presented to address the challenges in reliable data acquisition, inchoate fault diagnosis under varying industrial conditions and fault prognosis in terms of residual life prediction to minimise unplanned outages. Reliable and flexible data acquisition is necessary for continuous equipment monitoring in agile systems. In this thesis, wireless data acquisition, in the presence of co-existing networks, has been investigated for agile processes, e.g., shop floors of manufacturing facility where the underlying processes are prone to change both in orientation and type, due to new market trends. The problem of fault diagnosis essentially deals with categorizing the type of the fault arising in the machine, using the fault signatures captured from the wireless data acquisition unit. The fault diagnostic module comprises of signal processing, feature extraction and fault detection. The proposed framework optimally and adaptively tunes these constituents, particularly for inchoate, severity invariant machine fault diagnosis and multiple points-defect modelling. Fault prognosis demands continuous monitoring of the fault propagation to estimate the severity of the fault and hence, the residual life prediction of the equipment accordingly. The proposed residual life prediction scheme helps in achieving an optimized scheduling of maintenance to meet industrial demands, challenges and commitments. Proposed remote equipment health monitoring framework is flexible; and can be applied to industries e.g., mining, petroleum, utilities, transport, agriculture, space and building etc.

OSSEM: an infrastructure for continuous software evolution management
Creators: name: Sudaman, Fadrian
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: According to the laws of software evolution, software structure tends to degrade over time and cause future evolution to be even more difficult. Managing software evolution right from initial design through its evolution stages is important to ensure the final software product maintains its architectural integrity. Placing precise and timely software evolution information in the hands of the domain experts will allow accurate project and risk management while at the same time establishing clear accountabilities and guidelines. Current Software Evolution Management (SEM) infrastructures based on Software Configuration Management (SCM) lack product knowledge and deeper semantic understanding thus making it harder to effectively apply software metrics and feedback control systems that truly reflect the product and process needs. The disconnection of product knowledge in SCM prevents software practitioners from continually working with the logical design models through the implementation phases thus leads to widening software design and implementation gaps. Software process and product views should be closely linked in order to better manage and improve software quality. A SEM infrastructure is proposed that leverages the current state of SCM, incorporating application domain knowledge, a rich data model and a coherent process model that can be used to preserve the architectural integrity of the evolving software. My solution is Object-oriented Software Semantic Evolution Management (OSSEM), a SEM model and infrastructure with integral support for continuous modelling, applying software measurements and customisable feedback control systems to facilitate early detection of software design erosion. The infrastructure promotes extensibility by supporting custom metadata to define additional semantic artefacts, metrics policies to inject custom measurements and change policies to monitor quality attributes. I believe OSSEM unifies the software process and product perspectives; allows for more tacit knowledge to be made explicit and managed; empowers teams to be more context-aware during software maintenance or evolution activities; and overall provides guidance and governance to minimise software erosion in evolving systems.

description: Fuelled by increasing computer power and algorithmic advances, machine learning techniques have become powerful tools for finding patterns in data. Since quantum systems produce counter-intuitive patterns believed not to be efficiently produced by classical systems, it is reasonable to postulate that quantum computers may outperform classical computers on machine learning tasks. The field of quantum machine learning explores how to devise and implement concrete quantum software that offers such advantages. Recent work has made clear that the hardware and software challenges are still considerable but has also opened paths towards solutions.

Dynamic process nets.

Publisher: name: Monash University

description: Kahn Process Nets (PN) is a general model of computation suitable for most stream-based applications. In the PN, network of concurrent processes, connected through FIFO channels, incrementally transform streams of data. Comparably, scientific workflows are specified as a network of partially ordered analytical steps or activities, which are orchestrated for obtaining solutions to e-Science problems. Owing to the structural and characteristic similarities to dataflows, the PN model effectively captures the computational behavior of scientific workflows and provides semantics for creating their formal descriptions. However, it does not address practical implementation issues related to scheduling and resource management, as they are generally specific to the choice of the platform. We are interested in a deterministic and reconfigurable execution of scientific workflow applications on dynamic, distributed and heterogeneous platforms, specifically the Grid. From modelling perspective, this requires mappmg definitions of fundamental workflow components to PN's semantics. Such a mapping allows inheriting and refining PN properties to devise an appropriate model of computation. In this thesis, we present a refinement of the Kahn Process Nets Model of Computation, called Dynamic Process Nets (DPN) that models and orchestrates scientific workflow execution on the Grid. Unlike other PN refinements, DPN semantics exploit finer inter-component parallelism to optimize concurrent execution. Conditions for the deterministic execution of workflow programs are given. Also, a new dynamic reconfiguration technique for a fault-tolerant implementation of DPN is proposed. Under this technique, the communication mode between the components is selected at runtime. This is equivalent to the dynamic selection of the channel in Kahn Process Nets. From implementation's perspective, a novel scheduling model is devised which exploits temporal and spatial parallelism between the DPN components for their well-behaved (i.e. adhering to the DPN semantics) orchestration on the Grid, based on its current state. It also specifies "when" and "how" the components should communicate at runtime. To specify "how", a specialized inter process communication library is used, which supports multiple communication modes without requiring any source code modification to the existing components. Thus, appropriate mode of communication can be selected at runtime making it possible to delay allocation of tightly coupled downstream activities, or pipeline components with strict temporal ordering. This also provides fault tolerance: for instance, as it is possible to separate the execution of tightly coupled components, the failure of a single downstream component would only require rescheduling of either the failed component, or only a small part of the workflow. These issues are not handled in the existing distributed and dynamic scheduling models.

description: We study a wide class of topological free-fermion systems on a hypercubic lattice in spatial dimensions $d\ge 1$. When the Fermi level lies in a spectral gap or a mobility gap, the topological properties, e.g., the integral quantization of the topological invariant, are protected by certain symmetries of the Hamiltonian against disorder. This generic feature is characterized by a generalized index theorem which is a noncommutative analogue of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. The noncommutative index defined in terms of a pair of projections gives a precise formula for the topological invariant in each symmetry class in any dimension ($d \ge 1$). Under the assumption on the nonvanishing spectral or mobility gap, we prove that the index formula reproduces Bott periodicity and all of the possible values of topological invariants in the classification table of topological insulators and superconductors. We also prove that the indices are robust against perturbations that do not break the symmetry of the unperturbed Hamiltonian.

The Effect of Human Resource Development (HRD) Practices on Perceived Employee Productivity at Dashen Bank Share Company
Creators: name: Belete, Anteneh
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of HRD on perceived employee productivity at Dashen Bank Share Company. The study focuses on the three HRD investment factors: training, career development, and financial support for education and their effect on employees' productivity. The tree research questions and three hypotheses were formulated in line with the objectives of the study. A self-administered structured questionnaire was designed and distributed to 262 respondents. The researcher collected 251 responses and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regressions. The research assumptions are checked against the data gathered. Although training contributes for improved productivity of employees, most of the respondents agree on that most trainings do not allow them perform or apply what is learned back on the job. This is because of the training delivery method ignored the practical aspect. Another finding is that the management is not keen in counseling and providing direction to employees about their future career development. Based on the finding of the study the researcher forwarded his recommendations.

description: Millimeter wave (mm-wave) communications and radar receivers capable of processing small signals must be protected from high-power signals, which can damage sensitive receiver components. Many of these systems arguably can be protected by using photonic limiting techniques, in addition to electronic limiting circuits in receiver front-ends. Here we demonstrate, experimentally and numerically, a free-space, reflective mm-wave limiter based on a multilayer structure involving a nanolayer of vanadium dioxide (VO2), experiencing a thermal insulator-to-metal transition. The multilayer acts as a variable reflector, controlled by the input power. At low input power levels, VO2 remains dielectric, and the multilayer exhibits resonant transmittance. When the input power exceeds a threshold level, the emerging metallic phase renders the multilayer highly reflective while dissipating a small portion of the input power without damage to the limiter. In the case of a Gaussian beam, the limiter has a nearly constant output above the limiting threshold input.

description: Sensory cue integration in the human brain plays a crucial role in perception. The neurobiology community have assembled an ample amount of data and behavioral evidence in recent decades enhancing our understanding about sensory information processing in the human brain and in perception. The primary aim of this thesis is to model the sensory cue integration in the biological brain by drawing on the neurobiological findings gathered so far. At the higher level of abstraction, four main characteristics of sensory cue integration are examined this research endeavor by means of modeling; multimodal dynamics, hierarchical sensory cue integration, crossmodal interactions and multisensory integration. Moreover, the computational modeling effort addresses the limitations of some current fusion techniques and theoretical frameworks on multisensory integration. Four unsupervised neural network models are designed and implemented to capture the characteristics of sensory cue integration. Eventually a fusion framework is built by merging the functionalities and neuronal dynamics of these four neural network models. Empirical evaluation of the these models are performed using real data sources drawn from the application ~eas such as image processing, lip reading and bioinformatics. Further analysis of these models explains some of the key neurobiological properties in cross¬modal integration: binding problem, crossmodal matching, congruent/incongruent cue processing, reliability-based selective attention, inverse effectiveness, silent lip reading and ensemble coding hypothesis in cue integration. While these models explain possible mechanisms underlying sensory integration they can be used to solve problems in real data mining applications. The fusion framework allows proper integration of multiple data sources to discover hidden patterns and rela¬tionships in an unsupervised manner. Furthermore, it allows a data analyst to investigate patterns under different level of granularities from multiple data sources.

description: We relate the brace construction introduced by Calaque and Willwacher to an additivity functor. That is, we construct a functor from brace algebras associated to an operad $O$ to associative algebras in the category of homotopy $O$-algebras. As an example, we identify the category of $P_{n+1}$-algebras with the category of associative algebras in $P_n$-algebras. We also show that under this identification there is an equivalence of two definitions of derived coisotropic structures in the literature.
