Construction technology transfer for construction works in Ethiopia: The cases of grade one general contractors
Creators: name: YESHIALEM ZELALEM MULU
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018
Subjects: Transfer process, technology transfer channel, construction technology transfer practices

description: International technology transfer from developed to developing countries carry on stimulating
 rapid industrialization and economic growth globally, particularly in the fast growing newly
 industrialized countries like Ethiopia. The technology transfer has been one of the popular
 methods to improve the efficiency and productivity in the construction industry. The main
 objective of this study is to investigate the construction technology transfer practices and
 development of technological capabilities of the Ethiopian Constructions Industries. A crosssectional
 descriptive research design was used on 48 grade one general contractors. Structured
 questionnaire, case study and key informant interview inquiries were used to collect the primary
 source of the data. The data were entered, manipulated, organized and analyzed using Statistical
 Package for Social Science software (version 24). Both descriptive and inferential statistics were
 used to analysis the data. To determine the important factors which are capable to affect the
 applicability of the construction technology transfer selection criteria, multiple linear regression
 model was used. Moreover, the result of the study reveals that 5 predictor variables under
 examined, only 4 variables of them: new technology, transfer process, technology transfer
 channel and creating conducive environment significantly affect the appropriateness of
 technology transfer selection criteria with 95% confidence interval. The model for Ethiopian
 construction work is developed based on the findings of the regression model. As the result
 illustrated that the local construction firms in Ethiopia are characterized by mostly small and the
 lack of capacity and capability, delivering project on time, cost and expected quality.
 Furthermore, the level of technology transfer practice in the construction industry is very low
 and fragmented. From the total of grade one general contractor there is also a big technology
 practice gap among the industries. In addition, the formulated model uses as a guide to facilitate
 the technology transfer process for the construction industry
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A NOVEL cGMP REFRESHER TRAINING PROGRAM ON THE AWARENESS OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS IMPACTING BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
Creators: name: Evans, Carter
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2011

description: Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs) require that "each person engaged in the manufacture, processing, packing, or holding of a drug product shall have education, training and experience to enable that person to perform the assigned functions (21 Code of Federal Regulations 211.25(a))." This project seeks to develop an effective training program for the GMPs. Common issues regarding cGMP guidelines were investigated and compiled into a database. A novel computer-based training program in a game show format was developed linking to the question database. This software was tested at Lonza in Walkersville, Maryland and Hood College. Matched pair t-test analysis shows that survey matching scores improved by almost two points on average for all participants and each trainee's self-evaluation of his or her cGMP knowledge increased by almost one point on a ten-point scale. This training delivered an effective and unique way of improving training compliance.

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: We present an analytic formalism to compute the fluctuating component of the \ion{H}{1} signal and extend it to take into account the effects of partial Lyman-$α$ coupling during the era of cosmic dawn. We use excursion set formalism to calculate the size distribution of randomly distributed self-ionized regions. These ionization bubbles are surrounded by partially heated and Lyman-$α$ coupled regions, which create spin temperature $T_S$ fluctuations. We use the ratio of number of Lyman-$α$ to ionizing photon ($f_L$) and number of X-ray photons emitted per stellar baryons ($N_{\rm heat}$) as modeling parameters. Using our formalism, we compute the global \ion{H}{1} signal, its auto-correlation and power spectrum in the redshift range $10 \le z \le 30$ for the $Λ$CDM model. We check the validity of this formalism for various limits and simplified cases. Our results agree reasonably well with existing results from N-body simulations, in spite of following a different approach and requiring orders of magnitude less computation power and time. We further apply our formalism to study the fluctuating component corresponding to the recent EDGES observation that shows an unexpectedly deep absorption trough in global \ion{H}{1} signal in the redshift range $15

description: Zinc-ion hybrid supercapacitor (ZIHSC) is one of the popular emerging battery hybrid supercapacitors which integrates Zinc-ion battery electrode with capacitive electrode, thereby, taking advantages of high energy and power densities in addition to cycle stability. Their easy availability, optimum stability, high volumetric capacity and safety efficacy make ZIHSC a favoured choice over other battery hybrid supercapacitor. The research progress on ZIHSC is still in the bud stage and mainly faces challenges in developing a high energy density cathode and dendrite-free anode which hinder its practical applicability. To tackle these issues there must a proper understanding of the Zn2+ ion’s charge storage mechanism for the synthesised electrode materials which would be helpful in developing a technologically efficient ZIHSC. This review provides an overview of the fundamental working and performance metrics of ZIHSC. It then discusses about the different cathode and anode materials in length. This review work also highlights some of the newly developed electrode materials’ effectiveness in enhancing the ZIHSC’s performance. The challenges and the solutions associated with cathode and anode were also addressed in this review.

description: Polarimetry is a powerful tool for the analysis of the optical properties of materials and systems, such as human skin. However, in many polarimetric setups, the field of view is limited to a few square centimeters. In these cases, it is possible to resort to stitching techniques, which involve combining multiple Mueller matrix measurements obtained from different overlapping regions of the sample. In this paper, we propose a stitching technique for polarimetric data and discuss its advantages and limitations. We also describe the potential of image stitching for improving the accuracy and robustness of in vivo polarimetry in the presence of random patient movement. We conducted our research using a diverse set of samples which included porcine skin, human skin from arms and fingers, cold cuts of chicken and gelatine, alongside synthetically created sample data. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of this technique for the application in dermatology. Each additional in vivo measurement enhances the field of view by approximately one third, thereby considerably augmenting the total observation area. We show that stitching enables for the polarimetric assessment of large skin patches which is useful for the diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases.

description: We study the sensitivity of the processes `e+ e- -> lepton (l) neutrino (v) quark (u) antiquark (d)' at LEP2 energies on the non-standard trilinear gauge couplings (TGC), using the optimal observables method. All relevant leading logarithmic corrections to the tree-order cross section, as well as experimental resolution effects have been studied. Taking into account correlations among the different TGC parameters we show that the limits on the TGC can reach the level of 0.15~(1sd) at 161 GeV with 100 pb$^{-1}$, a challenge for the first LEP2 phase. At higher energies this can be improved drastically, reaching the level of 0.02~(1sd).

description: A class of solutions to the WDVV equations is provided by period matrices of hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces, with or without punctures. The equations themselves reflect associativity of explicitly described multiplicative algebra of (possibly meromorphic) 1-differentials, which holds at least in the hyperelliptic case. This construction is direct generalization of the old one, involving the ring of polynomials factorized over an ideal, and is inspired by the study of the Seiberg-Witten theory. It has potential to be further extended to reveal algebraic structures underlying the theory of quantum cohomologies and the prepotentials in string models with N=2 supersymmetry.

description: Motivated by the realisation of Yang-Baxter equation of 2d Integrable models in the 4d gauge theory of Costello-Witten-Yamazaki (CWY), we study the embedding of integrable 2d Toda field models inside this construction. This is done by using the Lax formulation of 2d integrable systems and by thinking of the standard Lax pair $L_{\pm }$ in terms of components of CWY gauge connection propagating along particular directions in the gauge bundle. We also use results of the CWY theory to build quantum line operators for 2d Toda models and compute the one loop contribution of two intersecting lines exchanging one gluon. Other features like local symmetries and comments on extension of our method to other 2d integrable models are also discussed. We also comment on\textrm{\ }some basic points that still need a refinement before talking about a fully consistent embedding of Lax pairs into CWY theory.

description: Addis Ababa city introduced Light Rail Transit into median of principal arterial streets. The effects of introducing Light Rail Transit into urban median streets at grade crossings on additional delays experienced by vehicles was examined. The effects of different factors of light rail transit were studied and the level of service of the intersection with and without light rail was evaluated using VISSIM 9 model simulation software package taking a case of Addey Ababa at grade crossing as a case study. Additionally the study attempted to demonstrate the feasibility, and practicality to analyse the delay of vehicles at intersection using the VISSIM simulation method. The results of the simulation indicate that the average additional delays experienced by vehicles that are in conflict with the light rail crossing, increase with increasing crossing frequencies and increasing traffic volumes up to the roadway’s capacity. And also the average additional delay was much greater for separate arrival than simultaneous arrival of light rails at grade crossings. Generally, the average additional delay experienced by vehicles was increased as well as the level of service of the intersection was affected due to the pre-emption strategy, frequency, train schedule, and the number of vehicles crossing, and the geometry of the intersection.

description: Let $\mathcal{S}_n$ denote the set of permutations of $\{1,2,\dots,n\}$. The function $f(n,s)$ is defined to be the minimum size of a subset $S\subseteq \mathcal{S}_n$ with the property that for any $ρ\in \mathcal{S}_n$ there exists some $σ\in S$ such that the Hamming distance between $ρ$ and $σ$ is at most $n-s$. The value of $f(n,2)$ is the subject of a conjecture by Kézdy and Snevily, which implies several famous conjectures about latin squares. We prove that the odd $n$ case of the Kézdy-Snevily Conjecture implies the whole conjecture. We also show that $f(n,2)>3n/4$ for all $n$, that $s!< f(n,s)< 3s!(n-s)\log n$ for $1\leq s\leq n-2$ and that \[f(n,s)>\left\lfloor \frac{2+\sqrt{2s-2}}{2}\right\rfloor \frac{n}{2}\] if $s\geq 3$.

description: In this article the framework for Parisi's spontaneous replica symmetry breaking is reviewed, and subsequently applied to the example of the statistical mechanical description of the storage properties of a McCulloch-Pitts neuron. The technical details are reviewed extensively, with regard to the wide range of systems where the method may be applied. Parisi's partial differential equation and related differential equations are discussed, and a Green function technique introduced for the calculation of replica averages, the key to determining the averages of physical quantities. The ensuing graph rules involve only tree graphs, as appropriate for a mean-field-like model. The lowest order Ward-Takahashi identity is recovered analytically and is shown to lead to the Goldstone modes in continuous replica symmetry breaking phases. The need for a replica symmetry breaking theory in the storage problem of the neuron has arisen due to the thermodynamical instability of formerly given solutions. Variational forms for the neuron's free energy are derived in terms of the order parameter function x(q), for different prior distribution of synapses. Analytically in the high temperature limit and numerically in generic cases various phases are identified, among them one similar to the Parisi phase in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. Extensive quantities like the error per pattern change slightly with respect to the known unstable solutions, but there is a significant difference in the distribution of non-extensive quantities like the synaptic overlaps and the pattern storage stability parameter. A simulation result is also reviewed and compared to the prediction of the theory.

description: We use the doped Fullerenes as an example of how realistic systems can be described by simple models. Starting from the band structure we set up a tight-binding model that describes the t_{1u} conduction band. Adding correlation terms we arrive at a generalized Hubbard Hamiltonian that we treat using quantum Monte Carlo. To address the problem of superconductivity in the doped Fullerenes, we study the screening of a point charge. We find surprisingly efficient metallic screening even for strong correlations, almost up to the Mott transition, and discuss the implications on superconductivity, in particular the effect of the efficient screening on the Coulomb pseudopotential and the electron-phonon coupling.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Extending recent work on SU gauge theory, we engineer local string models for N=1 four-dimensional SO and USp gauge theories coupled to matter in the fundamental. The local models are type IIB orientifolds with D7 branes on a curved orientifold 7-plane, and matter realized by adding D3 branes on the orientifold plane. The Higgs branches of the SO and USp theories can be matched with the moduli spaces of SO and USp instantons on the compact four-dimensional part of the D7 branes worldvolume. The R-charge of the gauge theories is identified with a U(1) symmetry on the worldvolume of an Euclidean D3 brane instanton. We argue that the quantum field theory dualities of these gauge theories arise from T-dualities of type IIB strings exchanging D7 and D3 charges. A crucial role is played by the induced D3 charge of D7 branes and an orientifold 7-plane, both partially compactified on a $Z_2$ orbifold of K3.

description: A search for nu_bar_mu to nu_bar_e oscillations has been conducted at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility using nu_bar_mu from mu+ decay at rest. The nu_bar_e are detected via the reaction (nu_bar_e,p) -> (e+,n), correlated with the 2.2 MeV gamma from (n,p) -> (d,gamma). The use of tight cuts to identify e+ events with correlated gamma rays yields 22 events with e+ energy between 36 and 60 MeV and only 4.6 (+/- 0.6) background events. The probability that this excess is due entirely to a statistical fluctuation is 4.1E-08. A chi^2 fit to the entire e+ sample results in a total excess of 51.8 (+18.7) (-16.9) (+/- 8.0) events with e+ energy between 20 and 60 MeV. If attributed to nu_bar_mu -> nu_bar_e oscillations, this corresponds to an oscillation probability (averaged over the experimental energy and spatial acceptance) of 0.0031 (+0.0011) (-0.0010) (+/- 0.0005).

description: We extend our recent work on the two-fluid hydrodynamics of the condensate and non-condensate in a trapped Bose gas by including the dissipation associated with viscosity and thermal conduction. For purposes of illustration, we consider the hydrodynamic modes in the case of a uniform Bose gas. A finite thermal conductivity and shear viscosity give rise to a damping of the first and second sound modes in addition to that found previously due to the lack of diffusive equilibrium between the condensate and non-condensate. The relaxational mode associated with this equilibration process is strongly coupled to thermal fluctuations and reduces to the usual thermal diffusion mode above the Bose-Einstein transition. In contrast to the standard Landau two-fluid hydrodynamics, we predict a damped mode centered at zero frequency, in addition to the usual second sound doublet.

A Study of the Effects of Stream Improvement Procedures on Benthic Macroinvertebrates
Creators: name: Evans, William Kirk
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1977

description: The effects of stream flow alteration on benthic macroinvertebrates and water quality were studied in two regions of Hunting Creek, a cold water stream originating in Catoctin Mountains in northern Frederick County, Maryland. The study involved two sections of stream, both located in the headwaters of Hunting Creek. One stream section was modified for the purpose of this study by building stream improvement devices in the stream channel; the other section of stream was maintained in its natural condition. Permanent collecting stations were established along each stream segment and benthic fauna and water quality were sampled on a regular basis. Monthly, benthic samples were collected for eight months by means of a Surber square foot bottom sampler. Drift net samples also were collected on three occasions during the study. Chemical and physical features of water collected from the two study areas were measured using standard methods for water analysis. Water samples for chemical analysis were collected on three occasions while physical parameters were measured each time benthic samples were collected. Random stream sampling for benthic macroinvertebrates and water quality also was done above and below the study areas to obtain additional data for use in characterizing the two stream sections being studied. The benthic faunas of the study areas were compared on the basis of diversity, density of organisms, species composition, frequency and dominance. The physical features used in evaluating water quality included depth, velocity, volume and temperature. The chemical characteristics measured were dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrate, ammonia, total phosphate, turbidity, total hardness, conductivity, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide. Analysis of chemical and physical data failed to show a statistically significant difference in water quality of the two stream areas. The benthic composition of the two study areas, was found to differ significantly with respect to diversity, density, frequency, dominance, species composition and drift. Data from the improved stream section showed lower values for all biological features evaluated for benthic macroinvertebrates, regardless of stream improvement efforts. The unimproved stream area and random stream sites located above and below Hunting Creek Lake showed similar values that were consistently higher than the improved stream section for all biological characteristics evaluated for the benthic macroinvertebrate fauna.

TREE SPECIES-RICHNESS AND TOPOGRAPHIC COMPLEXITY ALONG THE RIPARIAN EDGE OF THE POTOMAC RIVER
Creators: name: Everson, Daniel A.
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 1996

description: I studied the riparian forest edge of a central portion of the Potomac River in order to test whether there is a relationship between small-scale topographic complexity of the riverbank profile and tree species-richness. A total of 153 transects and 2568 trees were measured along 60 miles of the Maryland side of the Potomac River corridor between Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and Hancock, Maryland. Five-meter-wide strip quadrats (transects) perpendicular to the river were established systematically at 1/3-mile intervals. Three tree species, silver maple (Acer saccharinum), boxelder (Acer negundo), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), dominated the species composition of the riparian edge. Silver maple dominated in terms of overall basal area with over 43 percent, while boxelder dominated in terms of individuals, with over 38 percent of the stems. Standardization of species-richness for differing sample sizes was accomplished utilizing the rarefaction technique, which standardizes on the number of individuals rather than on unit area. Small-scale topographic complexity was measured by calculating the standard deviation of 2.5m slope measurements taken along the length of each transect. A significant positive relationship was observed between tree species-richness and topographic complexity. However, the low r2 value suggested that change in topography at a small scale explained only a small part of the variation in species-richness. An analysis of covariance using adjacent land use designations and underlying geology as categorical variables, with the standard-deviation-of-slopes as the covariate, indicated that adjacent land use and bedrock geology had no statistically significant impact on species-richness, and that the simple linear regression model was adequate to estimate the effect of topographic complexity on species-richness. Observations made during field work, as well as a one-way analysis of variance between the different land use/geology groups, and a rarefaction species-richness analysis of pooled transect data in the Conococheague Limestone indicated that there were greater concentrations of tree species near cliffs. A negative relationship was observed between tree species-richness and the width of the riparian zone, and this relationship was consistent across geology. Tree species summaries and the location of narrow riparian edges on the outside of meander bends, suggest that this is an edge effect, due to a greater number of tree species able to take advantage of an increased light gradient and the presence of a stable, well-drained substrate not subjected to repeated additions of sediment.
Exploring physical features of anisotropic strange stars beyond standard maximum mass limit in $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)$ gravity

description: We study a specific model of anisotropic strange stars in the modified $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)$-type gravity by deriving solutions to the modified Einstein field equations representing a spherically symmetric anisotropic stellar object. We take a standard assumption that $f(R,\mathcal{T})=R+2χ\mathcal{T}$, where $R$ is Ricci scalar, $\mathcal{T}$ is the trace of the energy-momentum tensor of matter, and $χ$ is a coupling constant. To obtain our solution to the modified Einstein equations, we successfully apply the `embedding class 1' techniques. We also consider the case when the strange quark matter (SQM) distribution is governed by the simplified MIT bag model equation of state given by $p_r=\frac{1}{3}\left(ρ-4B\right)$, where $B$ is bag constant. We calculate the radius of the strange star candidates by directly solving the modified TOV equation with the observed values of the mass and some parametric values of $B$ and $χ$. The physical acceptability of our solutions is verified by performing several physical tests. Interestingly, besides the SQM, another type of matter distribution originates due to the effect of coupling between the matter and curvature terms in the $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)$ gravity theory. Our study shows that with decreasing the value of $χ$, the stellar systems under investigations become gradually massive and larger in size, turning them into less dense compact objects. It also reveals that for $χ<0$ the $f\left(R,\mathcal{T}\right)$ gravity emerges as a suitable theory for explaining the observed massive stellar objects like massive pulsars, super-Chandrasekhar stars and magnetars, etc., which remain obscure in the standard framework of General Relativity (GR).

description: Roads that transport people and commodities from one place to another are subjected to heavy loadings and harsh environmental conditions, due to which they deteriorate with time. Therefore, as literatures indicate road performance has to be monitored to evaluate the rate of deterioration, need for maintenance, and proper scheduling of maintenance activities. This research was designed to evaluate Addis Ababa City road network performance and assessing the traditional road maintenance along with the determination the road agency capacity to start to apply Performance Based Road Maintenance. Under the study seven sample road sections were selected based on cluster and purposive sampling technique. Throughout the selected road samples roads a condition survey were conducted using automated pavement condition survey vehicle to evaluate distress severity extent and International Roughness Index (IRI). In order to assess the current method of road maintenance at Addis Ababa City Road Authority and their competency to start Performance Based Road Maintenance an interview and desk study were used. The result for road condition survey indicates minor surface distress and poor riding quality which is characterized with greater than 5 % surface distress and IRI greater than 2.7 mm/m. From interview and desk study all maintained roads undertaken at the capital city are done by own force, due to lack of contractual agreement every maintained under the road agency are poor. As the study indicated the capacity of Addis Ababa City Road Authority to start Performance Based Road Maintenance indicate the agency lack the expected Management system, Data base, experienced personnel and machineries. Finally the study recommends to the road agency to improve its management system, data base and personnel experience and shift its traditional maintenance system to Performance Based Road Maintenance

description: To investigate the effect of multiple seasons of play on serum S100B concentration in male professional rugby players, while also assessing the acute effects following a season of play and concussion. A prospective study of professional male rugby players over three seasons (2016/17 to 2018/19) was conducted. Serum sampling was carried out during pre-season, post-season and following a concussion; sustained during match play at a home game (between 2-24hrs), during each season. Serum S100B concentrations were determined by ELISA assay. Fourteen players sustained 24 concussions over three seasons, of which 13 samples (54%) were collected. Pre- and post-season serum S100B remained stable across multiple seasons. S100B concentration increased significantly following concussion compared with pre-season (p = 0.002) and post-season (p = 0.009), reflective in a 3.23-fold-change post-concussion, with no difference found between pre- and post-season values. S100B concentration measured at post-season was not significantly different for players who had a concussion during a season and players who did not. S100B remains stable across multiple seasons of play in professional rugby players. As concussion results in a temporary increase in S100B concentration, returning to pre-season values by post-season, S100B may be a useful diagnostic marker for improving existing management protocols for sports-related concussions.
