description: SARS-CoV-2 has recently emerged as a pandemic that has caused more than 2.4 million deaths worldwide. Since the onset of infections, several full-length sequences of viral genome have been made available which have been used to gain insights into viral dynamics. We utilised a meta-data driven comparative analysis tool for sequences (Meta-CATS) algorithm to identify mutations in 829 SARS-CoV-2 genomes from around the world. The algorithm predicted sixty-one mutations among SARS-CoV-2 genomes. We observed that most of the mutations were concentrated around three protein coding genes viz nsp3 (non-structural protein 3), RdRp (RNA-directed RNA polymerase) and Nucleocapsid (N) proteins of SARS-CoV-2. We used various computational tools including normal mode analysis (NMA), C-α discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) and all-atom molecular dynamic simulations (MD) to study the effect of mutations on functionality, stability and flexibility of SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins including envelope (E), N and spike (S) proteins. PredictSNP predictor suggested that four mutations (L37H in E, R203K and P344S in N and D614G in S) out of seven were predicted to be neutral whilst the remaining ones (P13L, S197L and G204R in N) were predicted to be deleterious in nature thereby impacting protein functionality. NMA, C-α DMD and all-atom MD suggested some mutations to have stabilizing roles (P13L, S197L and R203K in N protein) where remaining ones were predicted to destabilize mutant protein. In summary, we identified significant mutations in SARS-CoV-2 genomes as well as used computational approaches to further characterize the possible effect of highly significant mutations on SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins.

description: We study a model SrTiO$_3$ interface in which conduction $t_{2g}$ electrons couple to the ferroelectric (FE) phonon mode. We treat the FE mode within a self-consistent phonon theory that captures its quantum critical behavior, and show that proximity to the quantum critical point leads to universal tails in the electron density of the form $n(z) \sim (λ+z)^{-2}$, where $λ\sim T^{2-d/\mathfrak{z}}$, with $d=3$ the dimensionality and $\mathfrak{z}=1$ the dynamical critical exponent. Implications for the metal-insulator transition at low electron density are discussed.

Analysis of the Primary and Support Activities in the Value Creation of Selected Garment Factories in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Sultan, Zebib

Year: 2017

description: The garment industry of Ethiopia is reported to show a decline in its export performance according to the report of the Ethiopian Textile Industry Development Institute. Gaps in logistics, marketing, leadership capacity are also witnessed in the sector. Success in business depends on finding competitive advantage. With the objective of addressing the problem in the industry from the manufacturers' value chain management perspective, and the role each functional unit plays in delivering value and gaining competitive advantage, this research was carried out on fifteen garment factories what were considered representatives on the basis of long years of experience, productivity, introduction of new technology, marketability. Primary data was collected with the help of questionnaires and personal interviews. In addition, previous research works in the sector, journals and different documents were used as a secondary source of data. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS. The study was based on the value chain model of Michel E. Porter (1985) in which the management of five primary activities: Inbound logistic, operations, outbound logistics, marketing and sales, services, and four support activities as technology development, infrastructures, human resource management and procurements were analyzed. Accordingly, the study revealed that inbound logistics, outbound logistics and firm infrastructure are seen to be well managed. On the other hand; services, technology development, human resources and operations are seen to be moderately managed. However, marketing and sales of the primary activities are seen not to be well managed. In addition, the study also explored the challenges manufacturers face in delivering value. Accordingly, problems with respect to unavailability of locally produced fabrics, accessories, packing materials, and the resulting high cost of import are mentioned as the main challenge by most of the interviewees. Manufacturers should improve their marketing activities incorporating marketing research, product design, branding, beyond the traditional way of selling their products, and develop their human resource management. Considering the challenges they face in the industry, government should work on ways of having input materials manufactured locally

description: Direct photocatalyzed hydrogen atom transfer (d-HAT) can be considered a method of choice for the elaboration of aliphatic C–H bonds. In this manifold, a photocatalyst (PCHAT) exploits the energy of a photon to trigger the homolytic cleavage of such bonds in organic compounds. Selective C–H bond elaboration may be achieved by a judicious choice of the hydrogen abstractor (key parameters are the electronic character and the molecular structure), as well as reaction additives. Different are the classes of PCsHAT available, including aromatic ketones, xanthene dyes (Eosin Y), polyoxometalates, uranyl salts, a metal-oxo porphyrin and a tris(amino)cyclopropenium radical dication. The processes (mainly C–C bond formation) are in most cases carried out under mild conditions with the help of visible light. The aim of this review is to offer a comprehensive survey of the synthetic applications of photocatalyzed d-HAT.

description: In search of potent urease inhibitor indole analogues (1–22) were synthesized and evaluated for their urease inhibitory potential. All analogues (1–22) showed a variable degree of inhibitory interaction potential having IC50 value ranging between 0.60 ± 0.05 to 30.90 ± 0.90 µM when compared with standard thiourea having IC50 value 21.86 ± 0.90 µM. Among the synthesized analogues, the compounds 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 12, 14, 18, 20 and 22 having IC50 value 3.10 ± 0.10, 1.20 ± 0.10, 4.60 ± 0.10, 0.60 ± 0.05, 5.30 ± 0.20, 2.50 ± 0.10, 7.50 ± 0.20, 3.90 ± 0.10, 3.90 ± 0.10, 2.30 ± 0.05 and 0.90 ± 0.05 µM respectively were found many fold better than the standard thiourea. All other analogues showed better urease interaction inhibition. Structure activity relationship (SAR) has been established for all analogues containing different substituents on the phenyl ring. To understand the binding interaction of most active analogues with enzyme active site docking study were performed. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
Penalty and Barrier Function Methods for Constrained Optimization Problems
Creators: name: Weldegiorgis, Hailay
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of the study was to explore how effectively the penalty and barrier function methods are able to solve constrained optimization problems. The approach in these methods is that to transform the constrained problem into an equivalent unconstrained problem or into a problem with simple constraints, and solved using one (or some variant) of the algorithms for unconstrained optimization problems. Lemmas and theorems are proved which ensure the convergence of the sequence of solu-tions of the unconstrained problem into the solution of the original constrained optimiza-tion problem as the penalty parameter goes to infinity in the case of penalty methods and as the barrier parameter approaches to zero in barrier methods. Algorithms and MAT-LAB codes are developed using Powell's method for unconstrained optimization prob-lems for both penalty and barrier function methods and then problems that have appeared frequently in the optimization literature which have been solved using different tech-niques are solved and compared amongst themselves and with other algorithms. It is found out in the research that the sequential transformation methods converge to at least to a local minimum in most cases without the need for the convexity assumptions and with no requirement for differentiability of the objective and constraint functions. It is also revealed in the research that the Hessian matrix of the sequential transformation methods become ill-conditioned in a limit the penalty/barrier parameter goes to infini-ty/or zero. For problems of non-convex functions (with different local minimum points) it is recommended to solve the problem with different starting points, penalty/barrier para-meters and penalty/barrier multipliers and take the best solution. But on the other hand for the exact penalty methods convexity assumptions and second-order sufficiency conditions for a local minimum is needed for the solution of uncon-strained optimization problem to converge to the solution of the original problem with a finite penalty parameter. In these methods a single application of an unconstrained mini-mization technique as against to the sequential methods is used to solve the constrained optimization problem. These methods alleviate the computational difficulties that we face associated with having to take the penalty parameter to infinity.
Abundance Derivations for the Secondary Stars in Cataclysmic Variables from Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

description: We derive metallicities for 41 cataclysmic variables (CVs) from near-infrared spectroscopy. We use synthetic spectra that cover the 0.8 $μ$m $\leq λ\leq$ 2.5 $μ$m bandpass to ascertain the value of [Fe/H] for CVs with K-type donors, while also deriving abundances for other elements. Using calibrations for determining [Fe/H] from the $K$-band spectra of M-dwarfs, we derive more precise values for T$_{\rm eff}$ for the secondaries in the shortest period CVs, and examine whether they have carbon deficits. In general, the donor stars in CVs have sub-solar metallicities. We confirm carbon deficits for a large number of systems. CVs with orbital periods $>$ 5 hr are most likely to have unusual abundances. We identify four CVs with CO emission. We use phase-resolved spectra to ascertain the mass and radius of the donor in U Gem. The secondary star in U Gem appears to have a lower {\it apparent} gravity than a main sequence star of its spectral type. Applying this result to other CVs, we find that the later-than-expected spectral types observed for many CV donors is mostly an affect of inclination. All of the magnetic CVs, except the low accretion rate polar MQ Dra, have donors with subsolar metallicities. We find that two systems with unusual spectra, EI Psc and QZ Ser, that have large excesses of sodium, and extreme deficits of carbon. Synthetic spectra that have a reduced abundance of hydrogen are best able to explain the spectra of these two objects.

description: Masses of $^{52g,52m}$Co were measured for the first time with an accuracy of $\sim 10$ keV, an unprecedented precision reached for short-lived nuclei in the isochronous mass spectrometry. Combining our results with the previous $β$-$γ$ measurements of $^{52}$Ni, the $T=2$, $J^π=0^+$ isobaric analog state (IAS) in $^{52}$Co was newly assigned, questioning the conventional identification of IASs from the $β$-delayed proton emissions. Using our energy of the IAS in $^{52}$Co, the masses of the $T=2$ multiplet fit well into the Isobaric Multiplet Mass Equation. We find that the IAS in $^{52}$Co decays predominantly via $γ$ transitions while the proton emission is negligibly small. According to our large-scale shell model calculations, this phenomenon has been interpreted to be due to very low isospin mixing in the IAS.

description: Gapless spin liquids have recently been observed in several frustrated Mott insulators, with elementary spin excitations - "spinons" - reminiscent of degenerate Fermi systems. However, their precise role at the Mott point, where charge fluctuations begin to proliferate, remains controversial and ill-understood. Here we present the simplest theoretical framework that treats the dynamics of emergent spin and charge excitations on the same footing, providing a new physical picture of the Mott metal-insulator transition at half filing. We identify a generic orthogonality mechanism leading to strong damping of spinons, arising as soon as the Mott gap closes. Our results indicates that spinons should not play a significant role within the high-temperature quantum critical regime above the Mott point - in striking agreement with all available experiments.

description: The zero-temperature dynamical structure factor $S(q,ω)$ of one-dimensional hard rods is computed using state-of-the-art quantum Monte Carlo and analytic continuation techniques, complemented by a Bethe Ansatz analysis. As the density increases, $S(q,ω)$ reveals a crossover from the Tonks-Girardeau gas to a quasi-solid regime, along which the low-energy properties are found in agreement with the nonlinear Luttinger liquid theory. Our quantitative estimate of $S(q,ω)$ extends beyond the low-energy limit and confirms a theoretical prediction regarding the behavior of $S(q,ω)$ at specific wavevectors $\mathcal{Q}_n=n 2 π/a$, where $a$ is the core radius, resulting from the interplay of the particle-hole boundaries of suitably rescaled ideal Fermi gases. We observe significant similarities between hard rods and one-dimensional $^4$He at high density, suggesting that the hard-rods model may provide an accurate description of dense one-dimensional liquids of quantum particles interacting through a strongly repulsive, finite-range potential.

description: The interaction between antihistaminic drug oxatomide (OXT) and calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been investigated in a physiological buffer (pH 7.4) using UV–Vis, fluorescence, 1H NMR and circular dichroism spectral techniques coupled with viscosity measurements, KI quenching, voltammetry and in silico molecular modeling studies. OXT binds with CT-DNA in a concentration-dependent manner. At a lower [Drug]/[CT-DNA] molar ratio (0.6–0.1), OXT intercalates into the base pairs of CT-DNA, while at a higher [Drug]/[CT-DNA] molar ratio (13–6), the drug binds in the minor grooves of CT-DNA. The binding constants for the interaction are found to be in the order of 103–105 M−1, and the groove binding mode of interaction exhibits a slightly higher binding constant than that of intercalative mode. Thermodynamic analysis of binding constants at three different temperatures suggests that both these modes of binding are mainly driven by hydrophobic interactions (ΔHo > 0 and ΔSo > 0). Voltammetric investigations indicate that the electro-reduction of OXT is an adsorption controlled process and shifts in reduction peak potentials reiterate the concentration-dependent mode of binding of the drug with CT-DNA. The free energy landscape obtained at the all-atom level, using metadynamics simulation studies, revealed two major binding forces: partial intercalation and minor groove binding, which corroborate well with the experimental results.

The Impacts of Public Spending on Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction in Ethiopia: A Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Creators: name: Haji, Jibril
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: Public expenditure could play an important role in promoting economic growth and poverty reduction. Given the significant role of public spending, this study empirically explores the impacts of public spending on long-run economic growth and poverty reduction in Ethiopia. In particular, the researcher assessed the effects of public spending (disaggregated by function into human capital and agriculture) that can be financed via government saving or foreign saving on economic growth and poverty reduction in the country through its indirect effects on total factor productivity. The researcher employed a dynamic computable general equilibrium model that linked with micro simulation model that is solved recursively for the period 2009-2020. The CGE model used the updated 2009/10 social accounting matrix (SAM) while the MS model employed the 2004/05 household income, consumption and expenditure (HICE) survey to investigate household poverty via the consumption expenditure changes from the CGE model. The results of the study revealed that the government spending either allocated towards human capital or agriculture has improved the macro-economy, welfare and poverty situation of the country regardless of financing options. Given high elasticity of public expenditure on human capital with respect to total factor productivity, public spending targeted towards human capital resulted in high GDP growth and hence significantly reduced the poverty as compared to expenditure targeted agricultural sector. Moreover, the magnitudes of the welfare and poverty improvements is differ among financing options where the improvement of welfare of households and reduction of poverty is large under foreign saving means of financing against government saving financing schemes. Financing additional public expenditure through foreign saving increases the consumption of all households group more than financing through domestic resources (government saving) as households are supposed to save more at the expense of consumption under government saving financing option. In each simulation, the urban households reap more benefit from the improvement of income and consumption than rural households.

Bank Capital Regulation and Its Impact on Capital and Risk of Commercial Banks in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Fekadu, Abraham
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The effectiveness of risk based bank capital regulation as outlined in the Basel I framework and its national diversities, has been debated. Specifically, the arguments are related to the frameworks objective of linking bank capitalization and levels of risk involved in their asset portfolio. Within this objective of the risk based capital regulation framework, this study attempted to investigate the effectiveness of the national version of the framework followed to regulate banks' capital in Ethiopia. The study is framed around the competing and yet unsettled theoretical arguments and empirical findings on bank capital and risk relationship and the role bank capital regulation plays. The partial adjustment model introduced in earlier works is applied to explain observed changes in the risk and capital levels. According to this model observed changes in the capital and risk levels are the results of short term adjustments made to achieve equilibrium target levels. Thus, in this adjustment process capital regulation comes with its intuitive influence on the speed and direction of adjustment. Instead of the simple panel OLS or TSLS estimations which are less consistent and inefficient, the model is estimated using the asymptotically more efficient system three stage least square method. The result revealed that adjustment in capital and risk are negatively related for Ethiopian banks. Besides, introducing a regulatory pressure variable defined as the size of the standardized capital buffer banks maintain above the minimum, found to be with significant effect only when consideration is made to the volatility of capital level. When this variable is interacted with the cross coordinating risk and capital variables, the result showed that the coordination between risk and capital adjustment is insignificant for banks with low capital buffer while it is negative for banks with high capital buffer. Besides, banks with low capital buffer prefer to adjust their capital than their risk level while banks with high capital buffer prefer to reduce their risk than increase their capital. The capital buffer size banks hold above the minimum fails to explain the variation in capital and risk adjustment preferences of banks in Ethiopia implying that the influence of the capital regulation framework is limited. Therefore, the regulator need to take measures that link capital requirement with level of risk aversion, direct its supervisory effort on those banks with low capital buffer standard and reconsider its use of enforcement mechanisms.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic infection has claimed many lives and added to the social, economic, and psychological distress. The contagious disease has quickly spread to almost 218 countries and territories following the regional outbreak in China. As the number of infected populations increases exponentially, there is a pressing demand for anti-COVID drugs and vaccines. Virtual screening provides possible leads while extensively cutting down the time and resources required for ab-initio drug design. We report structure-based virtual screening of a hundred plus library of quinoline drugs with established antiviral, antimalarial, antibiotic or kinase inhibitor activity. In this study, targets having a role in viral entry, viral assembly, and viral replication have been selected. The targets include: 1) RBD of receptor-binding domain spike protein S 2) Mpro Chymotrypsin main protease 3) Ppro Papain protease 4) RNA binding domain of Nucleocapsid Protein, and 5) RNA Dependent RNA polymerase from SARS-COV-2. An in-depth analysis of the interactions and G-score compared to the controls like hydroxyquinoline and remdesivir has been presented. The salient results are (1) higher scoring of antivirals as potential drugs (2) potential of afatinib by scoring as better inhibitor, and (3) biological explanation of the potency of afatinib. Further MD simulations and MM-PBSA calculations showed that afatinib works best to interfere with the the activity of RNA dependent RNA polymerase of SARS-COV-2, thereby inhibiting replication process of single stranded RNA virus.

description: The `Rayleigh line' $μ=η^2$, where $μ=Ω_o/Ω_i$ and $η=r_i/r_o$ are respectively the rotation and radius ratios between inner (subscript `i') and outer (subscript `o') cylinders, is regarded as marking the limit of centrifugal instability (CI) in unstratified inviscid Taylor-Couette flow, for both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric modes. Non-axisymmetric stratorotational instability (SRI) is known to set in for anticyclonic rotation ratios beyond that line, i.e. $η^2
Hidden Gauge Structure of Supersymmetric Free Differential Algebras

description: The aim of this paper is to clarify the role of the nilpotent fermionic generator Q' introduced in Ref. [3] and appearing in the hidden supergroup underlying the free differential algebra (FDA) of D=11 supergravity. We give a physical explanation of its role by looking at the gauge properties of the theory. We find that its presence is necessary, in order that the extra 1-forms of the hidden supergroup give rise to the correct gauge transformations of the p-forms of the FDA. This interpretation is actually valid for any supergravity containing antisymmetric tensor fields, and any supersymmetric FDA can always be traded for a hidden Lie superalgebra containing extra fermionic nilpotent generators. As an interesting example we construct the hidden superalgebra associated with the FDA of N=2, D=7 supergravity. In this case we are able to parametrize the mutually non local 2- and 3-form B^(2) and B^(3) in terms of hidden 1-forms and find that supersymmetry and gauge invariance require in general the presence of two nilpotent fermionic generators in the hidden algebra. We propose that our approach, where all the invariances of the FDA are expressed as Lie derivatives of the $p$-forms in the hidden supergroup manifold, could be an appropriate framework to discuss theories defined in enlarged versions of superspace recently considered in the literature, such us double field theory and its generalizations.

Rethinking the Wild in Human-Elephant Conflicts
Creators: name: Chang, Lei
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022

description: This paper focused on a particular event that unfolded in 2021, both online and in several villages in Xishuangbanna and Pu’er, where migrating wild elephants and humans came into contact and conflict. In examining the varied impacts of this event on elephants, villagers, Chinese netizens, and even plant species, I reconsidered the notion of “wild” for all participants involved. I argued that “wildness” is not a fixed characteristic of animals themselves, but rather an ambiguous and, in some ways, paradoxical concept—simultaneously an idea of nature without/untouched by humans, a state that is co-created by humans and animals, and a form of multispecies cooperation.

description: The synthesis, characterisation, and crystallographic analysis of a novel -OH functionalised Ni-Salphen complex and its hybrid nanomaterial counterparts in the form of the molecule covalently bonded to Edge-Oxidised Graphene Oxide are described. Spectrophotometric titrations of the complex and of the nanomaterial performed against different pyridine-based guests showed a constant stoichiometry of association but different trends in association constants upon grafting. These changes could be ascribed to differences in the supramolecular environment at the binding site upon grafting, which may find cooperativity thanks to additional interactions arising from the graphene component. The spectrofluorimetric emission profile was explored before and upon association to find that emission intensity was affected in a different manner depending on whether the complex was used as a free molecule or in the hybrid nanomaterial, while it also depended on the size and flexibility of the guest used.

description: In this work the DBL3x domain of the erythrocyte membrane protein from Plasmodium Falciparum (PfEMP1), was revisited as a potential molecular target for the development of new drugs against malaria. This protein interacts with chondroitin sulfate A (CSA), a glycosaminoglycan present in the substance fundamental for connective tissues of vertebrates and is implicated in malaria complications in pregnant women. We performed molecular docking and molecular dynamic studies of DBL3x complexed with CSA and five analogues, where the sulfate group was replaced by phosphate, in order to evaluate if the better electrostatic interactions provided by phosphate groups could afford better binders capable of preventing the binding of CSA to DBL3x. Results suggest that all proposed compounds have high affinity towards DBL3x and could bind better to the DBL3x domain of PfEMP1 than CSA, qualifying as potential inhibitors of this protein and, therefore, new potential leads for the drug design against malaria.

description: We revisit the $ρ$-meson longitudinal leading-twist distribution amplitude (DA) $ϕ_{2;ρ}^\|$ by using the QCD sum rules approach within the background field theory. To improve the accuracy of the sum rules for its moments $\langleξ_{n;ρ}^\|\rangle$, we include the next-to-leading order QCD correction to the perturbative part and keep all non-perturbative condensates up to dimension-six consistently within the background field theory. The first two moments read $\langle ξ_{2;ρ}^\| \rangle|_{1{\rm GeV}} = 0.241(28)$ and $\langle ξ_{4;ρ}^\| \rangle|_{1{\rm GeV}} = 0.109(10)$, indicating a double humped behavior for $ϕ_{2;ρ}^\|$ at small energy scale. As an application, we apply them to the $B\to ρ$ transition form factors within the QCD light-cone sum rules, which are key components for the decay width $Γ(B\to ρ\ell ν_\ell)$. To compare with the world-average of $Γ(B\to ρ\ell ν_\ell)$ issued by Particle Data Group, we predict $|V_{\rm ub}| = 3.19^{+0.65}_{-0.62}$, which agrees with the BABAR and Omnès parameterization prediction within errors.
