description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η ανάδειξη της σχέσης των υπεράκτιων εταιριών με την νομιμοποίηση εσόδων από εγκληματικές δραστηριότητες. Αρχικά, παρουσιάσαμε αναλυτικά τις βασικές έννοιες της «νομιμοποίησης εσόδων από εγκληματικές δραστηριότητες» και των «υπεράκτιων εταιριών». Ακόμη αναφερθήκαμε στις τακτικές που χρησιμοποιούνται για το ξέπλυμα βρώμικου χρήματος μέσω του «οχήματος» των υπεράκτιων εταιριών, με την παρουσίαση των πιο πρόσφατων διεθνών σκανδάλων νομιμοποίησης εσόδων από εγκληματικές δραστηριότητες. Ένα άλλο θέμα που θίξαμε ήταν το γεγονός πως οι υπεράκτιες εταιρίες λειτουργούν ως «μανδύες» προκειμένου να καλύπτουν τους πραγματικούς δικαιούχους των περιουσιακών κεφαλαίων, χωρίς αυτό να σημαίνει πάντοτε ότι η πηγή προέλευσης των χρημάτων θα είναι παράνομη. Καταλήξαμε τέλος, πως η αντιμετώπιση του ως άνω διακρατικού οικονομικού εγκλήματος καθίσταται αντικείμενο τόσο της διεθνούς κοινότητας όσο και της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, οι οποίες πάντως ως «άγρυπνοι φρουροί» μεριμνούν και αναλαμβάνουν πρωτοβουλίες για την κατά το δυνατό καλύτερη αντιμετώπιση του φαινομένου του ξεπλύματος βρώμικου χρήματος.
description: The aim of the present thesis was to highlight the relationship between offshore companies and money laundering. Firstly, we presented in detail the basic concepts of "money laundering" and "offshore companies". Furthermore, we referred to the techniques which are used to launder dirty money through the "vehicle" of offshore companies, by presenting the most recent international money laundering scandals. Another issue that we raised was the fact that offshore companies act as "cloaks" in order to hide the true beneficiaries of the assets, without meaning that the source of the above-mentioned assets will always be illegal. In conclusion, the competent entities to deal with the above transnational financial crime are both the international community and the European Union, which are always concerned and prepared to take initiatives in order to fight against the phenomenon of money laundering in the best possible way.

description: CePdAl with Ce $4f$ moments forming a distorted kagomé network is one of the scarce materials exhibiting Kondo physics and magnetic frustration simultaneously. As a result, antiferromagnetic (AF) order setting in at $T_{\mathrm{N}} = 2.7$~K encompasses only two thirds of the Ce moments. We report measurements of the specific heat, $C$, and the magnetic Grüneisen parameter, $Γ_{\rm mag}$, on single crystals of CePd$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$Al with $x\leq 0.16$ at temperatures down to 0.05~K and magnetic fields $B$ up to $8$~T. Field-induced quantum criticality for various concentrations is observed with the critical field decreasing to zero at $x_c\approx 0.15$. Remarkably, two-dimensional (2D) AF quantum criticality of Hertz-Millis-Moriya type arises for $x=0.05$ and $x=0.1$ at the suppression of 3D magnetic order. Furthermore, $Γ_{\rm mag}(B)$ shows an additional contribution near $2.5$~T for all concentrations which is ascribed to correlations of the frustrated one third of Ce moments.

Manufacturing of synthetic tanning agent from kraft lignin
Creators: name: kassa, Tewodros
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: In chromium tanning adsorptive processes are minimal and leading to empty inter fibrillar spaces. Of these, the phenolic syntans are used which prepared from petroleum by products such as phenol, naphthalene and cresol. Being petroleum by products, the cost of these products is highly fluctuating. Therefor there is a need to evaluate alternatives for these products. In the current work, an effort has been made to develop phenolic synthetic tanning agent from waste of paper and pulp industry. Black liquor from pulp and paper waste was obtained and fully characterize. The treatment of this lignin with ferrous sulfate and hydrogen peroxide (5, 15 and 25 mmol of the reagent) and reaction temperature (25 oC, 45 oC and 65 oC) induces an extensive degradation in the native lignin. The effects of amount of H2O2 concentration, Fe2+concentration and reaction temperature on percentage of were determined by using Design Expert 7.0.0 software three factor Central Composite Design. As observed from optimized design at H2O2 concentration of 25 mmol, Fe2+ concentration of 15 mmol and 45oC the maximum percentage of lignin degradation was found 76.91%. Syntan preparation stage were investigate viz, sulphonation temperature, type of sulphonation agent, duration of reaction and amount of formaldehyde. The combined sulphonation product of sulphuric acid and sodium meta bisulfite (SS2) show better softens, roundness and grain smoothness and colour. Emission load of TS for commercial phenolic syntan is 43.61, whereas there is reduction in TS load by 41.7%-24.1% has been observed using lignin based syntan.

description: We study the circular Wilson loop in the symmetric representation of U(N) in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super-Yang-Mills (SYM). In the large N limit, we computed the exponentially-suppressed corrections for strong coupling, which suggests non-perturbative physics in the dual holographic theory. We also computed the next-to-leading order term in 1/N, and the result matches with the exact result from the k-fundamental representation.

description: We study the statistics of the fluorescence decay rates for single quantum emitters embedded in a scattering medium undergoing a phase transition. Under certain circumstances, the structural properties of the scattering medium explore a regime in which the system dynamically switches between two different phases. While in that regime the light scattering properties of both phases are hardly distinguishable, we demonstrate that the lifetime statistics of single emitters with low diffusivity is clearly dependent on the dynamical state in which the medium evolves. Hence, lifetime statistics provides clear signatures of phase switching in systems where light scattering does not.

Approaches to Near Zero Utilization of Water in the Post tanning Operations of Leather Processing
Creators: name: Solomon, Fessehaye
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Any industrial activity would generate waste, whose form would be as solid, liquid and/or gas. While industrialization is important to a nation's economy, the wellbeing of human kind is even more important. The conflict for water between mankind consumption and industrial activity is increasing day by day as the population is increasing. An industrial activity like leather processing is a water intensive process, with most of the industries consuming 35 L of water to process every kilogram of hide/skin. While it is easy to wish away an activity like leather processing, an analysis of the relevance of this industry to Nation building would reveal that this is the only industry that uses a byproduct of meat industry, viz., skin and converts it into a fashion commodity. In the transformation, a host of rural men and women are involved directly or indirectly. For the nation, it is a good source of export income. This research work is one of an out-of-the-box thinking of systematic reduction and utilize known concepts of recycle, reduce or recovery of used water from processing. For this, the methodology has relied upon the replacement of water with environmentally benign and clean/green solvent for transporting chemicals into the skin matrix instead. The work consists of identifying the appropriate solvent or solvent mixture that a) did not have any adverse effect on the fibre structure, b) where a significant number of leather auxiliaries could be dissolved or dispersed and c) could be easily recovered and reused. The combination of solvents was selected from amongst reported clean/green solvents and the solubility / stability of the auxiliary dispersions determined by the measurement of the zeta potential of the system. The initial interaction of the dispersed auxiliaries with skin matrix being one of adsorption, various models of adsorption can be fitted to understand the nature of binding. The physical and visual properties of developed leathers have also been compared.

description: The exact cause of most neurodegenerative diseases remains to be completely elucidated and therefore, hampering the development of precise and highly effective therapeutic interventions. Emerging evidence suggest that amino acid metabolism is a major key player in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders which eventually lead to degeneration and subsequent axonal loss. The aim of the present work is to outline the most representative neurodegenerative disorders and dissect the interplay in regard to amino acid metabolism modulation. In this context, amino acid signaling pathways and metabolomic studies reveal distinct cellular and molecular signatures in pathological conditions in comparison to healthy individuals. This study indicates the disturbances of amino acid metabolism, with an upper goal to identify potential amino acid biomarkers and pinpoint therapeutic strategies by manipulating amino acid sensing signaling cascades in order to tackle and eliminate neurodegenerative disorders.
description: Η ακριβής αιτία των περισσότερων νευροεκφυλιστικών ασθενειών δεν έχει διασαφηνιστεί πλήρως και ως εκ τούτου, εμποδίζει την ανάπτυξη εξαιρετικά αποτελεσματικών και υψηλής ακρίβειας θεραπευτικών προσεγγίσεων. Αναδυόμενα ερευνητικά δεδομένα υποστηρίζουν ότι ο μεταβολισμός σε επίπεδο αμινοξέων αποτελεί ένα κρίσιμο παράγοντα που εμπλέκεται στην παθογένεση νευρολογικών διαταραχών, οι οποίες ως γνωστόν οδηγούν σε νευροεκφυλισμό και επακόλουθη απώλεια νευραξόνων. Ο στόχος αυτής της εργασίας είναι να παρουσιάσει τις πιο αντιπροσωπευτικές νευροεκφυλιστικές ασθένειες και να διερευνήσει την συσχέτιση αυτών με τη ρύθμιση του μεταβολισμού των αμινοξέων. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, τα μονοπάτια κυτταρικής σηματοδότησης αμινοξέων καθώς επίσης και οι μεταβολομικές μελέτες αναδεικνύουν διακριτές κυτταρικές και μοριακές υπογραφές σε ασθενείς με νευροεκφυλιστικά νοσήματα συγκριτικά με υγιή άτομα. Η παρούσα μελέτη εστιάζει στις διαταραχές του μεταβολισμού των αμινοξέων, με απώτερο στόχο τον εντοπισμό και την ταυτοποίηση πιθανών βιοδεικτών-αμινοξέων και τον εντοπισμό θεραπευτικών στρατηγικών μέσω ρύθμισης και τροποποίησης κυτταρικών σηματοδοτικών μονοπατιών αμινοξέων για μια αποτελεσματικότερη αντιμετώπιση των νευροεκφυλιστικών διαταραχών.

description: We have obtained a closed-form expression for the threshold of Risken-Nummedal-Graham-Haken (RNGH) multimode instability in a Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavity quantum cascade laser (QCL). This simple analytical expression is a versatile tool that can easily be applied in practical situations which require analysis of QCL dynamic behavior and estimation of its second threshold. Our model for a FP cavity laser accounts for the carrier coherence grating and carrier population grating as well as their relaxation due to carrier diffusion. In the model, the RNGH instability threshold is analyzed using a second-order bi-orthogonal perturbation theory and we confirm our analytical solution by a comparison with the numerical simulations. In particular, the model predicts a low second threshold in QCLs. This agrees very well with experimental data available in the literature.

description: Electronic structure properties of nanowires (NW) with diameters of 1.5 nm and 3 nm based on semimetallic $α$-Sn are investigated by employing density functional theory and perturbative $GW$ methods. We explore the dependence of electron affinity, band structure and band gap values with crystallographic orientation, NW cross-sectional size and surface passivants of varying electronegativity. We consider four chemical terminations in our study: methyl ($\rm{CH_3}$), hydrogen ($\rm{H}$), hydroxyl ($\rm{OH}$), and fluorine ($\rm{F}$). Results suggest a high degree of elasticity of Sn-Sn bonds within the SnNWs' cores with no significant structural variations for nanowires with different surface passivants. Direct band gaps at Brillouin zone centers are found for most studied structures with quasi-particle corrected band gap magnitudes ranging from 0.25 eV to 3.54 eV in 1.5 nm diameter structures indicating an exceptional range of properties for semimetal NWs below the semimetal-to-semiconductor transition. Band gap variations induced by changes in surface passivants indicate the possibility of realizing semimetal-semiconductor interfaces in NWs with constant cross-section and crystallographic orientation allowing the design of novel dopant-free NW-based electronic devices.

description: L’identification des « agglomérations ouvertes » de la fin de l’âge du Fer (IIIe-Ier s. av. J.-C.) au sein de l’actuelle Auvergne, dont les limites recouvrent celles des territoires gaulois des Arvernes (Puy-de-Dôme, Cantal, Allier), des Vellaves (Haute-Loire) et des Ambluarètes (Allier), est relativement récente. Les premières hypothèses formulées en ce sens ont d’abord concerné le bassin de Clermont-Ferrand avec la mise en évidence, vers 1980, d’une première grande agglomération, connue dans la littérature archéologique sous le nom de site « d’Aulnat », quelques kilomètres à l’est de la métropole clermontoise. Dans le courant de la décennie suivante, un second site est localisé à une trentaine de kilomètres plus au nord, à l’emplacement de l’actuelle localité d’Aigueperse. Depuis, le dossier s’est considérablement enrichi et une dizaine d’agglomérations gauloises non fortifiées sont aujourd’hui identifiées de façon plus ou moins assurée en Auvergne : Les Martres-de-Veyre, Saint-Flour, Saint-Paulien, Brioude, Bas-en-Basset ; auxquelles peuvent s’ajouter, bien que moins certaines, La Roche Blanche, Lezoux et Ambert. Bien que la connaissance de ces sites soit encore souvent très largement lacunaire, les fouilles réalisées sur certains d’entre eux permettent d’en préciser les caractéristiques (chronologie, taille, la structuration interne...).

description: Ελληνική Περίληψη Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η διερεύνηση της έννοιας της ενσώματης υποκειμενικότητας όπως πραγματώνεται στο έργο της Kathy High μέσα από πρακτικές συμβίωσης και μετα-ανθρώπινης φροντίδας. Το πεδίο του σώματος τοποθετείται στο επίκεντρο των σύγχρονων πρακτικών της βιοτεχνολογίας. Η έννοια του σώματος δεν γίνεται αντιληπτή ως ένα βιολογικό, αντικειμενικό σώμα, αλλά ως ένα σύνθετο δίκτυο υλικών και σημειωτικών πραγματώσεων. Στο πλαίσιο των μεταδομιστικών και μετα-ανθρώπινων φεμινιστικών θεωριών καθώς και των καλλιτεχνικών πρακτικών της bio art οι έννοιες του σώματος και του υποκειμένου επαναπροσδιορίζονται ενώ παράλληλα ασκείται κριτική στις σύγχρονες βιοτεχνολογικές πρακτικές. Στο καλλιτεχνικό παράδειγμα της Kathy High επιχειρείται αυτός ο επαναπροσδιορισμός των εννοιών του σώματος και της υποκειμενικότητας μέσα από την πραγμάτωση πρακτικών μετα-ανθρώπινης φροντίδας και συμβίωσης κυρίως με μη ανθρώπινα ζώα, μικροοργανισμούς, μόρια και βακτήρια. Η High επιχειρεί να δημιουργήσει στο έργο της ένα νέο παράδειγμα αισθηματικής διάδρασης και μετα-ανθρώπινης επικοινωνίας συντελώντας στη διαμόρφωση νέων αντιλήψεων για την ταυτότητα, το σώμα και την υποκειμενικότητα που μεταβαίνουν από την εξατομίκευση και τον ατομοκεντρισμό στη συμβίωση.

The body is not anymore perceived as the biological or objective body but as a complex field of material and semiotic performativities. In the context of poststructural and posthuman feminist theories as well as the artistic practices of bio art, the concepts of body and subjectivity are redefined through practices of posthuman care and symbiosis with non humans, microorganisms and bacteria. High is trying to create a new model of affective interactions and posthuman communication contributing in the configuration of new conceptions about the identity, the body and the subjectivity that move from the individualism to a symbiotic view of life.

description: Flat bands (FB) are strictly dispersionless bands in the Bloch spectrum of a periodic lattice Hamiltonian, recently observed in a variety of photonic and dissipative condensate networks. FB Hamiltonians are finetuned networks, still lacking a comprehensive generating principle. We introduce a FB generator based on local network properties. We classify FB networks through the properties of compact localized states (CLS) which are exact FB eigenstates and occupy $U$ unit cells. We obtain the complete two-parameter FB family of two-band $d=1$ networks with nearest unit cell interaction and $U=2$. We discover a novel high symmetry sawtooth chain with identical hoppings in a transverse dc field, easily accessible in experiments. Our results pave the way towards a complete description of FBs in networks with more bands and in higher dimensions.

The Determinants of Export Performance in East African Countries: A Panel Data Approach
Creators: name: Aman, Denekew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: The paper examines the effect of demand and supply side factors on East Africa countries total, agricultural raw materials, service and manufacture export performance. Thus, both internal and external aspects are responsible for poor export performance in the region. The study employed a penal data to empirically analysis these determinants in East Africa for the periods 2005 to 2014. A Sample of 7 countries from the region was selected for analyze the determinants of the exports of total, agricultural raw materials, service and manufacture based on the standard international trade classification. Based on the Hausmanestimate the total and agricultural export fixed effect model is appropriate whereas for service and manufacture export random effect model is fitted. Using the first model (fixed effect) we found that the police related to FDI and trade openness have impact on the total export performance in the region. And for model two (fixed effect) the agricultural raw materials export performance in this region is not influenced as the expected theoretical. Using random effect in the model of service sector human capital and foreign direct investment net inflow are the major factors to improve the service and manufacture sector export performance in the region. Moreover, except the agriculture raw material export the supply and demand sides'factors are found the major determinants of the total, service and manufacture export performance in the region.
Generalized squeezing rotating-wave approximation to the isotropic and anisotropic Rabi model in the ultrastrong-coupling regime
Creators: name: Zhang, Yu-Yu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Generalized squeezing rotating-wave approximation (GSRWA) is proposed by employing both the displacement and the squeezing transformations. A solvable Hamiltonian is reformulated in the same form as the ordinary RWA ones. For a qubit coupled to oscillators experiment, a well-defined Schrödinger-cat-like entangled state is given by the displaced-squeezed oscillator state instead of the original displaced state. For the isotropic Rabi case, the mean photon number and the ground-state energy are expressed analytically with additional squeezing terms, exhibiting a substantial improvement of the GSRWA. And the ground-state energy in the anisotropic Rabi model confirms the effectiveness of the GSRWA. Due to the squeezing effect, the GSRWA improves the previous methods only with the displacement transformation in a wide range of coupling strengths even for large atom frequency.

description: Multi-method approaches are an emerging trend in CSCL research as they allow to paint a more comprehensive picture of complex group learning processes than using a single method. In this contribution, we combined measures from different data sources to capture the quality of collaborative group engagement (QCGE) in CSCL-groups: QCGE-self-assessments, QCGE-ratings of verbal group communication, and video recorded nonverbal group behaviors. Using different methods of analysis, we visualized, described, and analyzed the data and related the measures to each other. Here, we present results suggesting that measures from different data sources are interrelated: For instance, nonverbal behavior (like nodding the head) is related to high QCGE-ratings of verbal communications. Results are preliminary and show disparities, too. Yet, we conclude that the multi-method approach results in a more comprehensive understanding of QCGE. Feasibility and suitability of the multi-method approach are discussed and conclusions for future research are drawn.

Improved Performances in Subsonic Flows of an SPH Scheme with Gradients Estimated using an Integral Approach

description: In this paper we present results from a series of hydrodynamical tests aimed at validating the performance of a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) formulation in which gradients are derived from an integral approach. We specifically investigate the code behavior with subsonic flows, where it is well known that zeroth-order inconsistencies present in standard SPH make it particularly problematic to correctly model the fluid dynamics. In particular we consider the Gresho-Chan vortex problem, the growth of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, the statistics of driven subsonic turbulence and the cold Keplerian disc problem. We compare simulation results for the different tests with those obtained, for the same initial conditions, using standard SPH. We also compare the results with the corresponding ones obtained previously with other numerical methods, such as codes based on a moving-mesh scheme or Godunov-type Lagrangian meshless methods. We quantify code performances by introducing error norms and spectral properties of the particle distribution, in a way similar to what was done in other works. We find that the new SPH formulation exhibits strongly reduced gradient errors and outperforms standard SPH in all of the tests considered. In fact, in terms of accuracy we find good agreement between the simulation results of the new scheme and those produced using other recently proposed numerical schemes. These findings suggest that the proposed method can be successfully applied for many astrophysical problems in which the presence of subsonic flows previously limited the use of SPH, with the new scheme now being competitive in these regimes with other numerical methods.

description: In the case of a compact orientable pseudomanifold, a well-known theorem of M. Goresky and R. MacPherson says that the cap product with a fundamental class factorizes through the intersection homology groups. In this work, we show that this classical cap product is compatible with a cap product in intersection (co)-homology, that we have previously introduced. If the pseudomanifold is also normal, for any commutative ring of coefficients, the existence of a classical Poincaré duality isomorphism is equivalent to the existence of an isomorphism between the intersection homology groups corresponding to the zero and the top perversities.

Effect of Exchange Rate Volatility on Ethiopian Coffee Export
Creators: name: Amezenech, Muluneh
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: This study tried to evaluate the effect of exchange rate volatility on Ethiopian coffee export. It has employed annual time series data (1980-2015) collected from the country's different institutions, namely: National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), Ministry of Finance and economic development (MOFED) and Ethiopian Custom Authority (ECA). The overall objective of the study was to investigate the effect of exchange rate volatility on Ethiopian coffee export. Tools of descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data and understand the dynamics of the variables included in the analysis. A Bounds testing and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used to establish the presence of a long run relationship between exchange rate volatility and coffee export. In order to evaluating exchange rate volatility, the study employed the standard deviation method. The result of the study indicates that coffee export in Ethiopia has negative and significant relationship with exchange rate volatility. Again Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Terms of Trade (TOT) have negative effect on coffee export. On the other hand, Trade openness and real effective exchange rate were found to be positively related and significant. From these results, the study recommended that policy makers in the country should try to maintain a well-managed stable exchange rate regime. Also, the government could set up a coffee export stabilization fund that would ensure a certain amount of predictability in coffee prices during export. The other measures should be related with both export and destination diversification. Other agricultural and industrial products and goods to be exported in addition to coffee to earn foreign currency should be assessed. The other one is not only diversifying the export items, but also the government needs to diversify export market destinations.
Axion star collisions with Neutron stars and Fast Radio Bursts

description: Axions may make a significant contribution to the dark matter of the universe. It has been suggested that these dark matter axions may condense into localized clumps, called "axion stars." In this paper we argue that collisions of dilute axion stars with neutron stars, of the type known as "magnetars," may be the origin of most of the observed fast radio bursts. This idea is a variation of an idea originally proposed by Iwazaki. However, instead of the surface effect of Iwazaki, we propose a perhaps stronger volume effect caused by the induced time dependent electric dipole moment of neutrons.

Exchange Rate Pass-Through and Inflation Dynamics in Ethiopia: A Markov Switching Approach
Creators: name: Biniyam, Kassa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Exchange rate movements have been a determinant of inflation for long time and Ethiopia is not an exception. Thus, the study examines the effects of exchange rate variability on inflation in Ethiopia for data covering 1990Q1-2016Q4. Markov-switching methodology with Fixed Transition Probability (FTP) and Time Varying Transition Probability (TVTP) has been employed. Based on FTP the effect of changes in bilateral nominal exchange rate (NER) of Ethiopian birr per US dollar to inflation has been found insignificant. This result indicates absence of exchange rate pass-through to consumer price inflation in Ethiopia. The result obtained from TVTP, which used nominal effective exchange rate (NEER) as an exogenous variable and a determinant for the transition probability found exchange rate pass through to consumer price inflation. This implies that NEER is a better measurement for exchange rate pass-through. The study also attempted to test Taylor hypothesis for two inflation regimes, high and low. However, no evidence is found that supports the Taylor hypothesis in the case of Ethiopia.

description: In the present paper, the Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) with the nearest-neighbor (NN) repulsions is studied from the view point of possible bosonic analogs of the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state in the vicinity of the Mott insulator (MI). First, by means of the Gutzwiller approximation, we obtain the phase diagram of the BHM in a magnetic field. Then, we introduce an effective Hamiltonian describing excess particles on a MI and calculate the vortex density, momentum distribution and the energy gap. These calculations indicate that the vortex solid forms for small NN repulsions, but a homogeneous featureless `Bose-metal' takes the place of it as the NN repulsion increases. We consider particular filling factors at which the bosonic FQH state is expected to form. Chern-Simons (CS) gauge theory to the excess particle is introduced, and a modified Gutzwiller wave function, which describes bosons with attached flux quanta, is introduced. The energy of the excess particles in the bosonic FQH state is calculated using that wave function, and it is compared with the energy of the vortex solid and Bose-metal. We found that the energy of the bosonic FQH state is lower than that of the Bose-metal and comparable with the vortex solid. Finally, we clarify the condition that the composite fermion appears by using CS theory on the lattice that we previously proposed for studying the electron FQH effect.
