Localized severe plastic deformation by plane stress local torsion
Creators: name: Shamdani, Amir Hossein

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The process of plane stress local torsion (PSLT) is proposed as a localised severe plastic deformation for the enhancement of holes. The PSLT process is capable of creating large shear strains and consequently substantial grain refinement in the vicinity of the hole with a gradient in the radial direction. It is of great interest and importance to investigate the effect of the PSLT process on a range of materials commonly used in the industry. The specimen design is a prerequisite for any experimental investigation of the local torsion process. A number of potential designs which enable the implementation of the PSLT process are investigated in this research work. The potential designs of the specimen are compared for their abilities to perform the PSLT and to produce the shearing strain within an annular zone around the hole. The computer-aided specimen design recommends a feasible design for successful implementation of the process. Then, the deformation of the specimen in the vicinity of its hole surface is studied by introducing a parametric kinematically admissible displacement field (PKADF) within the deformation affected zone (DAZ). Calibration of the parameters in relation to the deformation of the material during the process is done by an elastic-plastic finite element solution which was performed in ABAQUS. Subsequently, the calibrated model is used in an upper bound solution of the problem to estimate the torque-twist response of the specimen during the PSLT process. Mechanical behaviour and microstructure of the ultra-fine grained Al6061 and interstitial free (IF) steel specimens processed by the PSLT are also investigated in this work. The PSLT process is simulated using the finite element method. Microstructural changes and the extent of grain refinement are examined by means of optical microscopy, SEM and EBSD. It is shown that a considerable mechanical properties improvement can be achieved adjacent to the surface of the hole by the PSLT processing. The micro shear punch and microhardness tests reveal the degree of enhancement in ultimate and yield strengths of the materials processed by the PSLT.

Beyond the Disciplinary Sector: Theories, Methods and Topics of Latin American Sociology over the last 25 Years
Creators: name: Barbieri, Michele
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021
Subjects: scientific production comparison; Latin American; social imaginary

description: This essay is a contribution to the existing debate on the progress of sociological scientific production over the last 25 years (1991-2016). In contemporary society, the exponential developments consolidate or refute the sense of the implementation of theories, methods and topics in the sociological sciences. Besides, Sociology addresses new topics that require an innovative empirical framework, beneficial on understanding the complexity of reality and to respond to any new challenges. Starting from an analytical assessment of the report 25 Años de Sociología, edited by Alexis Romero Salazar (2017), this article aims to highlight the progression of several disciplinary sectors of Latin American sociological production. Whereas it is difficult to include all the sociological areas in this overview, the choice fell on the following: education, family, religion, economy, political processes, communication, migration and – last but not least – the recognition of the empirical significance of social imaginary.

description: HV-CMOS pixel sensors are a promising option for the tracker upgrade of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, as well as for other future tracking applications in which large areas are to be instrumented with radiation-tolerant silicon pixel sensors. We present results of testbeam characterisations of the $4^{\mathrm{th}}$ generation of Capacitively Coupled Pixel Detectors (CCPDv4) produced with the ams H18 HV-CMOS process that have been irradiated with different particles (reactor neutrons and 18 MeV protons) to fluences between $1\cdot 10^{14}$ and $5\cdot 10^{15}$ 1-MeV-n$_\textrm{eq}$/cm$^2$. The sensors were glued to ATLAS FE-I4 pixel readout chips and measured at the CERN SPS H8 beamline using the FE-I4 beam telescope. Results for all fluences are very encouraging with all hit efficiencies being better than 97% for bias voltages of $85\,$V. The sample irradiated to a fluence of $1\cdot 10^{15}$ n$_\textrm{eq}$/cm$^2$ - a relevant value for a large volume of the upgraded tracker - exhibited 99.7% average hit efficiency. The results give strong evidence for the radiation tolerance of HV-CMOS sensors and their suitability as sensors for the experimental HL-LHC upgrades and future large-area silicon-based tracking detectors in high-radiation environments.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This research work intends to investigate the effect of E-banking variables on customer satisfaction in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. In addition the research tried to investigate major challenges encountered by the bank in delivering the service that may reduce the level of customer satisfaction in using the technology. Based on literature five quality dimensions viz. reliability, efficiency, security, responsiveness and contact have been selected as forecasters of customer satisfaction in E-banking. The study adopts Quantitative Research design. Data has been gathered through already tested questionnaire from 386 CBE E-banking users in Addis Ababa. The sample were selected from eight city branches by judgment sampling technique The data was gathered through 5-point likert scale and analyzed with the help Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. To test the relation between e banking satisfaction and the selected variables Multiple Linear Regression method was used. Further chi square test also done so as to test the relation between demographic character and e banking satisfaction. The empirical result shows that the quality dimensions: reliability, efficiency, responsiveness and contact have strong impact on e banking customer satisfaction in CBE. Therefore CBE need to satisfy these dimensions (efficiency, reliability, responsiveness and contact) by all means in order to achieve customer satisfaction in e banking. More over the finding reveals customer satisfaction in using e banking has a relation with age and educational level. The major challenges that the bank faced in providing the service are; service broken due to internet connectivity and electric power problem, lack of Information and Communication infrastructures, lack of customer awareness in using the technology. Thus, in order to sustain customer satisfaction CBE should work with concerned government bodies (Ethio-telecom & Electric power corporations). In addition to government support the bank should strive along with all banks in Ethiopia with the help of Bankers association so as to have dedicated infrastructure to financial institutions in the country.

description: Robotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture, and applications. The limitation and constrain of the existing mobile robot navigation techniques are overcome by proposing new mobile robot navigation techniques. Thus, the main focuses of this research are to investigate, propose, design and utilize the improved mobile robot navigation techniques. These techniques are applicable to mobile robots with built-in low cost ultrasonic sensors in a highly unstructured, unknown and uncertain environment. Some of the basic behaviors including Goal Seeking, Obstacle Avoidance and Wall Following are investigated using various sensor data received from the simple low cost ultrasonic sensors that are locally available on the mobile robot. Soft Computing techniques are used to improve mobile robot navigation. In this research, Fuzzy-Neural, Neural Q-Learning, Evolutionary Computation and Genetic-Fuzzy-Neural approaches are explored. In Fuzzy-Neural approach, comparative studies of the combination of Fuzzy Logic and Artificial Neural Network have been conducted. In Neural Q-Learning approach, Artificial Neural Network is used to enable the Q-Learning controller to learn from its environment and improve its perception of the environment through learning. In Evolutionary Computation approach, Goal Oriented Path Planning Algorithm (GOPPA) that is capable of obtaining an optimum collision free path in an unrecognized environment is proposed. The combination of three Soft Computing techniques including Genetic Algorithm (GA), Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is taken place in order to develop the proposed Genetic-Fuzzy-Neural Path Planning Algorithm (GFNPPA) for the specific problem domain i.e. near optimum path planning in goal seeking mobile robot navigation. The improved autonomous mobile robot navigation techniques are capable of guiding the mobile robot commencing from the starting point to the specified destination/target in the shortest collision free path. All of the four proposed algorithms are aimed to avoid any obstacles that are detected by the sonar sensors (ultrasonic sensors)of the mobile robot in the environment. Both simulation and real world implementations have been conducted. Their flexibility and robustness of the proposed algorithms have been shown. These proposed mobile robot navigation techniques have been compared with existing techniques which shown better performance.

description: A day in the life of a person involves a broad range of activities which are common across many people. Going beyond diurnal cycles, a central question is: to what extent do individuals act according to patterns shared across an entire population? Here we investigate the interplay between different activity types, namely communication, motion, and physical proximity by analyzing data collected from smartphones distributed among 638 individuals. We explore two central questions: Which underlying principles govern the formation of the activity patterns? Are the patterns specific to each individual or shared across the entire population? We find that statistics of the entire population allows us to successfully predict 71\% of the activity and 85\% of the inactivity involved in communication, mobility, and physical proximity. Surprisingly, individual level statistics only result in marginally better predictions, indicating that a majority of activity patterns are shared across {our sample population}. Finally, we predict short-term activity patterns using a generalized linear model, which suggests that a simple linear description might be sufficient to explain a wide range of actions, whether they be of social or of physical character.

description: The purpose of this study is to highlight the potential use of inexpensive and easily acquired materials, such as paper and thread, on fabrication of microfluidic devices. By contrast, the microfluidic devices in recent use are costly to fabricate due to the complicated workings and processes required and are difficult to utilize without the appropriate training. It is desired that simple microfluidic devices are produced at low cost and by relatively unskilled persons, which will make them available for a wider range of purpose, particular in undeveloped regions. This study illustrates the characterization of paper and thread based materials for this application.
Integrated automatic aircraft landing control system using nonlinear energy methods

description: Automatic flight control systems have been implemented in modern civil aircrafts to complement human pilots. Automation that requires minimal routine pilot interaction are not subject to fatigue and emotion. As designs of the air flight control system evolve, there is a demand for development of a robust control system to provide on-time arrivals of all flights regardless of bad weather conditions. The Nonlinear Energy Method (NEM) has been shown to be very effective and robust in controlling the longitudinal dynamics of the Research Civil Aircraft Model (RCAM). The RCAM used in this research models the behavior of a large fixed-wing twin-engine civil aircraft. In this thesis, a new automatic controller that integrates NEM controllers for both longitudinal and lateral fast dynamics of the RCAM has been designed. The lateral dynamics includes its rolling and yawing motion. The integrated NEM automatic flight controller enables stabilization of the aircraft attitudes, energy regulation and trajectory tracking. An evaluation procedure which includes a one-sided engine failure, a 90o turn, a glideslope and wind shear was performed for 10 different flight conditions. Theoretical proof and simulation results have shown that the integrated NEM controller is stable and robust. A comprehensive fault tolerant control scheme that complements this integrated NEM controller would be a practical area to explore in future works.

In the passive limit this interval remains finite, similarly to what has been found in bidimensional systems of hard and soft disks. We did not find discontinuous behaviour upon increasing activity from the passive limit.

The correlates of explicit weight bias among mental health providers in training
Creators: name: Franko, Idil
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and correlates of explicit weight bias among mental health providers who are in training. Specifically, the study aimed to understand whether disordered eating patterns or preoccupation with shape and weight are associated with explicit bias. Participants were 287 trainees (Mage = 28.22) currently enrolled in master’s and doctoral programs in mental healthcare fields. Students completed an online questionnaire assessing their explicit attitudes towards obese persons, beliefs about the causes of obesity, demographic characteristics, eating disorder psychopathology, and weight and shape concerns. One sample t-tests revealed that the mean score on a scale that measured stigmatized attitudes towards obese persons (M = 76.86) was significantly higher than the mean score in a community sample of UK adults [t(286)= 13.127, p <.001] and graduate psychology students from previous cohorts [t(286)= 12.407, p <.001]. Similarly, the mean score on a scale that measured beliefs in the personal controllability of weight (M = 26.58) were significantly higher than in UK adults [t(286)= 23.958, p <.001] and past psychology trainees [t(286)= 8.457, p <.001]. One-way ANOVAs revealed no significant differences between groups with and without clinically significant shape and weight concerns with respect to negative attitudes [F(1, 285) = 1.679, p > .05] or beliefs scores [F(1, 285) = .050, p > .05]. In a similar vein, no significant differences were found in attitude scores [F(2, 283) = .937, p = .423] or beliefs scores [F(3, 283) = .217, p = .885] between the different BMI groups. Post-hoc analyses revealed that participants’ age, race, and beliefs in the personal controllability of weight were significantly associated with stigmatized attitudes. Trainees’ gender-identification and training year were significantly associated with beliefs in the behavioral causes of obesity. The results suggest that graduate students in mental healthcare fields hold strong beliefs that obesity is within an individual’s control and display negative attitudes towards overweight and obese individuals. It is possible that these biases translate to compromised quality of care for obese individuals. Addressing weight stigma in graduate curricula and emphasizing the multiple determinants of obesity can potentially ameliorate this bias.

description: With the rapidly increasing interest in machine learning based solutions for automatic image annotation, the availability of reference annotations for algorithm training is one of the major bottlenecks in the field. Crowdsourcing has evolved as a valuable option for low-cost and large-scale data annotation; however, quality control remains a major issue which needs to be addressed. To our knowledge, we are the first to analyze the annotation process to improve crowd-sourced image segmentation. Our method involves training a regressor to estimate the quality of a segmentation from the annotator's clickstream data. The quality estimation can be used to identify spam and weight individual annotations by their (estimated) quality when merging multiple segmentations of one image. Using a total of 29,000 crowd annotations performed on publicly available data of different object classes, we show that (1) our method is highly accurate in estimating the segmentation quality based on clickstream data, (2) outperforms state-of-the-art methods for merging multiple annotations. As the regressor does not need to be trained on the object class that it is applied to it can be regarded as a low-cost option for quality control and confidence analysis in the context of crowd-based image annotation.

description: The overall aim of the recruitment and selection is to obtain at minimum cost the desired number and quality employees needed to satisfy the HR needs of the organization/ institution. For organization to be sustained, employees have crucial roles to play in order to ensure that organizations attain competitive advantage over the competitors across the globe. The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of recruitment and selection practices on military personnel retention in Major General Hayelom Araya military Academy. The research employed mixed research approach with explanatory research design. Questionnaire was used to collect data from 122 respondents. Stratified random sampling techniques were used to select the sample from the targeted population. Data processing was done using SPSS software version 20. The data were collected using structured questionnaires and Semi-structured interviews. The researcher also used regression and correlation tools to analyze the relationship of the variables. The correlation analysis result confirmed that all relationship between the dependent and independent variables are positively and significantly correlated. Furthermore, it was found that recruitment and selection has moderate impact on personnel retention in the military Academy. The major findings were the practice of conducting recruitment and selection was found not made properly. Therefore, it is suggested that the Military Academy must work hard on those dimensions in order to improve the recruitment and selection practice

description: The production of pairs of Higgs bosons at hadron colliders provides unique information on the Higgs sector and on the mechanism underlying electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB). Most studies have concentrated on the gluon fusion production mode which has the largest cross section. However, despite its small production rate, the vector-boson fusion channel can also be relevant since even small modifications of the Higgs couplings to vector bosons induce a striking increase of the cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the Higgs boson pair. In this work, we exploit this unique signature to propose a strategy to extract the $hhVV$ quartic coupling and provide model-independent constraints on theories where EWSB is driven by new strong interactions. We take advantage of the higher signal yield of the $b\bar b b\bar b$ final state and make extensive use of jet substructure techniques to reconstruct signal events with a boosted topology, characteristic of large partonic energies, where each Higgs boson decays to a single collimated jet . Our results demonstrate that the $hhVV$ coupling can be measured with 45% (20%) precision at the LHC for $\mathcal{L}=$ 300 (3000) fb$^{-1}$, while a 1% precision can be achieved at a 100 TeV collider.

description: The Chiral Magnetic Effect (CME) is a macroscopic manifestation of fundamental chiral anomaly in a many-body system of chiral fermions, and emerges as anomalous transport current in the fluid dynamics framework. Experimental observation of CME is of great interest and has been reported in Dirac and Weyl semimetals. Significant efforts have also been made to look for CME in heavy ion collisions. Critically needed for such search, is the theoretical prediction for CME signal. In this paper we report a first quantitative modeling framework, the Anomalous Viscous Fluid Dynamics (AVFD), which computes the evolution of fermion currents on top of realistic bulk evolution in heavy ion collisions and simultaneously accounts for both anomalous and normal viscous transport effects. The AVFD allows a quantitative understanding of the generation and evolution of CME-induced charge separation during hydrodynamic stage as well as its dependence on theoretical ingredients. With reasonable estimates of key parameters, the AVFD simulations provide the first phenomenologically successful explanation of the measured signal in 200AGeV AuAu collisions.

description: We use refined spectral sequence arguments to calculate known and previously unknown bi-Hamiltonian cohomology groups, which govern the deformation theory of semi-simple bi-Hamiltonian pencils of hydrodynamic type with one independent and \( N\) dependent variables. In particular, we rederive the result of Dubrovin-Liu-Zhang that these deformations are parametrized by the so-called central invariants, which are \( N\) smooth functions of one variable.

description: Exposure modeling plays a significant role for regulatory organizations, companies, and professionals involved in assessing and managing occupational health risks in workplaces. One context in which occupational exposure models are particularly relevant is the REACH Regulation in the European Union (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006). This commentary describes the models for the occupational inhalation exposure assessment of chemicals within the REACH framework, their theoretical background, applications, and limitations, as well as the latest developments and priorities for model improvement. Summing up the debate, despite its relevance and importance in the context of REACH not being in question, occupational exposure modeling needs to be improved in many respects. There is a need to reach a wide consensus on several key issues (e.g., the theoretical background and the reliability of modeling tools), to consolidate and monitor model performance and regulatory acceptance, and to align practices and policies regarding exposure modeling.

Applicability of Business Failure Prediction Models to the Insurance Sector of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tibebu, Girma
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The bankruptcy of insurance companies recorded in different parts of the world sends messages to interested stakeholders of insurance companies operating in Ethiopia to utilize the existing verified models or to develop new models of business failure prediction so as to identify and manage potential business failure risk in the insurance sector. Two global and two local accounting-based statistical models developed with MDA (Multiple Discriminant Analysis) are examined in this study to determine their applicability to the insurance sector of Ethiopia. The selected models are: Altman's Z''-score model developed in USA, Springate's model developed in Canada, Wondim's Model developed in Ethiopia on Public Enterprises, and Fufa's Model developed in Ethiopia on Private Enterprises. Fourteen out of 16 insurance companies operating in Ethiopia for the recent five years of 2012 to 2016 are sampled for the study. The prediction accuracy in correctly identifying non-bankrupt insurance companies of the country for year 2017 is calculated for each of the four models. The research found out that, from the four models studied, only the adjusted Altman's Z''- score model has satisfactorily predicted non-bankrupt insurance companies of the country, with accuracy rates of 85.71% for prediction made two-years prior to the year prediction is made for (2017). The applicability of the remaining three models to the Ethiopian insurance sector is not supported by the study as the maximum prediction accuracy achieved by the models is 28.57%. It is suggested that Altman's Z'' score model be considered as an instrument in prediction of business failure risks in the Ethiopian insurance sector, and recommendations are provided on further studies that need to be made to identify bankruptcy prediction models specifically appropriate to the insurance sector of the Ethiopia.
