Creators: name: Befekadu, Topaz
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The study focus on the role of reward and benefit management practices to wards employee satisfaction the case of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia at selected branches in Addis Ababa. To meet the objectives, the researcher adopted descriptive research design by using qualitative data approaches. The primary data were collected through questionnaire from a sample of 100 clerical employees and through interview from the top management of the bank. The data had been analyzed by using descriptive statistics such as frequency, tables and charts. From the research it is observed that employees perception toward current benefit and reward are subjective, Employees are not participating in benefit and reward decision and finally the researcher has found out that Commercial Bank of Ethiopia has a routine of rewarding and motivating its employees to let them work to its best interest, the rewarding systems are not based on performance. They are instead bonus and salary increments which are given to all employees once annually. The performances of the employees are not considered in these processes. It is just based on the salary scale, which is not advisable according to the theoretical frameworks this researcher used. This is also something that the respondents witnessed. The conclusion is, therefore, the reward system does not motivate its employees to be competitive and work to the best interest of the company given that the reward systems does not take competitiveness and performance in to account. Keywords: reward, compensation, Commercial Bank, selected branch

description: We present a setup for highly polarized proton beams using two parallel propagating laser pulses that have a carrier envelope phase difference of $π$. This mechanism is examined utilizing particle-in-cell simulations and compared to a single-pulse setup commonly used for magnetic vortex acceleration. We find that the use of the dual-pulse setup allows for peak energies of 124 MeV and good angular spread for two pulses with normalized laser vector potential $a_0 = 100$. Compared to a single pulse, we further observe higher polarization of the accelerated bunch.

Financial Sustainability of Ethiopian Resident Charity Organizations: Challenges and Opportunities
Creators: name: Seyoum, Sisay
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: This study examines the financial sustainability challenges and opportunities faced by local NGOs, particularly of those registered as Ethiopian Resident Charities by the law. These NGOs constitute nearly 70 % of the total Civil Society Sector in Ethiopia. This research enhances the evidence basis and there by enable managers and leaders of the study organizations as well as their stakeholders make informed policy and operational decisions to address the problem. Based on literatures reviewed, a conceptual framework inclusive of endogenous and exogenous factors has been developed. The study has examined the prevailing situation in lieu of these factors through a descriptive and analytical design. The sampling was drawn from list of Ethiopian Resident Charities (ERCs) having a head office in Addis. A structured questionnaire was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data from the managers and leaders of the study organizations. Additionally, qualitative information has been gathered from key informants and data from the mixed methods (38 organizations and 5 key informants) has been analysed to inform the research inquiry. The findings show that ERCs are facing a myriad of financial sustainability challenges. Majority of their current funding comes from donors, and yet it is inadequate to support their mission. The future prospect of funding is decreasing and difficult to predict for the most. The lack of information on call for proposals, weak coordination or partnership and limited staff capacity are the major constraints in going for foreign sources, while the undeveloped culture of volunteerism, bureaucracy, distorted image of the public about NGO's contribution were among the significant constraints for local fund raising and marketing. The limited understanding and practice on strategic fund raising and marketing, the lack of strong governance and accountability mechanism are the major internal challenges that limits the capacity of ERCs in local and foreign fund rasing.The major recommendations is for ERCs is to be driven as an institution committed to address internal capaciy limitations. This calls for instilling a strategic management process to adapt to the changing environment. Donors on the otherhand have to improve transparency in funding decisions and also consider the need for increased commitment to the capacity building support in the priority areas highlighted by ERCs. Both ERCs and their networks, as well as other pertinent stakeholders should aggressively work towards improvising relationships and foster a positive image of ERCs. As such the likelihood of both foreign and local resources mobilization will be enhanced, and hence the financial sustainability of ERCs be improved. Key words- Civil Society Organizations,Ethiopian Resident Charities, Sustaintainability, Fund Raising, Stratetegic, Non Governmental Organizations.

description: We study elliptic solutions of the recently introduced Toda lattice with the constraint of type B and derive equations of motion for their poles. The dynamics of poles is given by the deformed Ruijsenaars-Schneider system. We find its commutation representation in the form of the Manakov triple and study properties of the spectral curve. By studying more general elliptic solutions (elliptic families), we also suggest an extension of the deformed Ruijsenaars-Schneider system to a field theory.

description: Video prediction is a pixel-level task that generates future frames by employing the historical frames. There often exist continuous complex motions, such as object overlapping and scene occlusion in video, which poses great challenges to this task. Previous works either fail to well capture the long-term temporal dynamics or do not handle the occlusion masks. To address these issues, we develop the fully convolutional Fast Fourier Inception Networks for video prediction, termed \textit{FFINet}, which includes two primary components, \ie, the occlusion inpainter and the spatiotemporal translator. The former adopts the fast Fourier convolutions to enlarge the receptive field, such that the missing areas (occlusion) with complex geometric structures are filled by the inpainter. The latter employs the stacked Fourier transform inception module to learn the temporal evolution by group convolutions and the spatial movement by channel-wise Fourier convolutions, which captures both the local and the global spatiotemporal features. This encourages generating more realistic and high-quality future frames. To optimize the model, the recovery loss is imposed to the objective, \ie, minimizing the mean square error between the ground-truth frame and the recovery frame. Both quantitative and qualitative experimental results on five benchmarks, including Moving MNIST, TaxiBJ, Human3.6M, Caltech Pedestrian, and KTH, have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed approach.

description: Model driven development envisages the use of model transformations to evolve models. Model transformation languages, developed for this task, are touted with many benefits over general purpose programming languages. However, a large number of these claims have not yet been substantiated. They are also made without the context necessary to be able to critically assess their merit or built meaningful empirical studies around them. The objective of our work is to elicit the reasoning, influences and background knowledge that lead people to assume benefits or drawbacks of model transformation languages. We conducted a large-scale interview study involving 56 participants from research and industry. Interviewees were presented with claims about model transformation languages and were asked to provide reasons for their assessment thereof. We qualitatively analysed the responses to find factors that influence the properties of model transformation languages as well as explanations as to how exactly they do so. Our interviews show, that general purpose expressiveness of GPLs, domain specific capabilities of MTLs as well as tooling all have strong influences on how people view properties of model transformation languages. Moreover, the Choice of MTL, the Use Case for which a transformation should be developed as well as the Skills of involved stakeholders have a moderating effect on the influences, by changing the context to consider. There is a broad body of experience, that suggests positive and negative influences for properties of MTLs. Our data suggests, that much needs to be done in order to convey the viability of model transformation languages. Efforts to provide more empirical substance need to be undergone and lackluster language capabilities and tooling need to be improved upon. We suggest several approaches for this that can be based on the results of the presented study.

description: We study the universality of the three-body parameters for systems relevant for ultracold quantum gases with positive $s$-wave two-body scattering lengths. Our results account for finite-range effects and their universality is tested by changing the number of deeply bound diatomic states supported by our interaction model. We find that the physics controlling the values of the three-body parameters associated with the ground and excited Efimov states is constrained by a variational principle and can be strongly affected by $d$-wave interactions that prevent both trimer states from merging into the atom-dimer continuum. Our results enable comparisons to current experimental data and they suggest tests of universality for atomic systems with{positive scattering lengths.

description: The Standard Model Higgs potential may become unbounded from below at large field values, with important cosmological implications. For a potential of this form, the commonly assumed scenario of a nucleated thin-wall bubble driving the transition from the electroweak vacuum to the unstable region does not apply. We present exact analytical solutions for potentials that have the same qualitative form as the Higgs potential. They show that the transition is driven by a thick-wall spherical bubble of true vacuum, with a surface that expands at asymptotically the speed of light. A `crunch' singularity appears in the quasi-AdS interior, with the collapsed region also expanding at asymptotically the speed of light. The singularity is surrounded by a region of trapped surfaces whose boundary forms an apparent horizon. An event horizon separates the singularity from the bubble exterior, so that the expansion of the bubble surface is not affected by the collapse of the interior. The solutions provide exact descriptions of the geometry for thick-wall bubbles and are consistent with the analysis of [1,2] for the Higgs potential.

description: We propose a new platform for observing the Josephson diode effect: the Andreev molecule. This nonlocal electronic state is hosted in circuits made of two closely spaced Josephson junctions, through the hybridization of the Andreev states. The Josephson diode effect occurs at the level of one individual junction while the other one generates the required time-reversal and spatial-inversion symmetry breaking. We present a microscopic description of this phenomenon based on fermionic Andreev states, focusing on single channels in the short limit, and we compute both supercurrent and energy spectra. We demonstrate that the diode efficiency can be tuned by magnetic flux and the junctions transmissions, and can reach $45~\%$. Going further, by analyzing the Andreev spectra, we demonstrate the key role played by the continuum, which consists of leaky Andreev states and is largely responsible for the critical current asymmetry. On top of proposing an experimentally accessible platform, this work elucidates the microscopic origin of the Josephson diode effect at the level of the fermionic Andreev states.

description: We model transport of individuals across a heterogeneous scale-free network where a few weakly connected nodes exhibit heavy-tailed residence times. Using the empirical law Axiom of Cumulative Inertia and fractional analysis we show that `anomalous cumulative inertia' overpowers highly connected nodes in attracting network individuals. This fundamentally challenges the classical result that individuals tend to accumulate in high-order nodes. The derived residence time distribution has a non-trivial U-shape which we encounter empirically across human residence and employment times.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The ASTEP concept was proposed within the European Project with the same name (Application of Solar Thermal Energy to Processes). It consists in the integration of a rotary Fresnel collector and a Phase Change Material (PCM) Thermal Energy Storage (TES) connected in series with the collector, to demonstrate the viability to cover the energy demands of industry processes with solar thermal technologies. The concept will be tested in two industrial sites with different demands and meteorology. The maximum working temperature will be 240ºC, and the heat thermal fluid is Therminol 55®. The demand studied in the first case (Mandrekas, Greece) is a boiler producing steam at 175ºC and two chillers to cool water at -5ºC. This work aims to assess the exergy analysis of the concept. Majority exergy losses are located in the solar receiver, followed a long way behind by the salt heat exchanger, and in the same order of magnitude, boiler and pumps/valves losses.
On the origin of the negative energy-related contribution to the elastic modulus of rubber-like gels

description: We consider a coarse-grained polymer model in order to investigate the origin of a recently discovered negative energy-related contribution to the elastic modulus $G(T)$ of rubber-like gels. From this model, we are able to compute an exact expression for the free energy of the system, which allows us to evaluate a stress-strain relationship that displays a non-trivial dependence on the temperature $T$. We validate our approach through comparisons between the theoretical results and the experimental data obtained for tetra-PEG hydrogels, which indicate that, although simple, the present model works well to describe the experiments. Importantly, our approach unveiled aspects of the experimental analysis which turned out to be different from the conventional entropic and energetic analysis broadly used in the literature. Also, in contrast to the linear dependence predicted by the traditional, {\it i.e.}, purely entropic, models, our results suggest that the general expression of the elastic modulus should be of the form $G(T) \propto k_BT w(T)$, with $w(T)$ being a temperature-dependent correction factor that could be related to the interaction between the chains in the network and the solvent. Accordingly, the correction factor allows the expression found for the elastic modulus to describe both rubber and rubber-like gels.

To illustrate, the breathing-soliton solutions, periodic-wave solutions and localized rational soliton solutions are derived with the zero and plane-wave solutions as the seeds. The properties of those solutions are also discussed, and particularly the asymptotic analysis reveals all possible cases of the interaction between the discrete rational dark and antidark solitons.

description: Detection of unwanted (`foreign') objects within products is a common procedure in many branches of industry for maintaining production quality. X-ray imaging is a fast, non-invasive and widely applicable method for foreign object detection. Deep learning has recently emerged as a powerful approach for recognizing patterns in radiographs (i.e., X-ray images), enabling automated X-ray based foreign object detection. However, these methods require a large number of training examples and manual annotation of these examples is a subjective and laborious task. In this work, we propose a Computed Tomography (CT) based method for producing training data for supervised learning of foreign object detection, with minimal labour requirements. In our approach, a few representative objects are CT scanned and reconstructed in 3D. The radiographs that have been acquired as part of the CT-scan data serve as input for the machine learning method. High-quality ground truth locations of the foreign objects are obtained through accurate 3D reconstructions and segmentations. Using these segmented volumes, corresponding 2D segmentations are obtained by creating virtual projections. We outline the benefits of objectively and reproducibly generating training data in this way compared to conventional radiograph annotation. In addition, we show how the accuracy depends on the number of objects used for the CT reconstructions. The results show that in this workflow generally only a relatively small number of representative objects (i.e., fewer than 10) are needed to achieve adequate detection performance in an industrial setting. Moreover, for real experimental data we show that the workflow leads to higher foreign object detection accuracies than with standard radiograph annotation.

Effect Of Internal Marketing On Customer Service Quality In Commercial Bank Of Ethiopia East Addis Ababa District
Creators: name: Tolessa, Elsabeth
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: This project investigates the situation of customer-employee interaction during service encounters, and to see whether there is a plausible relationship between IM programs of the firm which aims at enabling employees by applying marketing like tools that the firm normally used for the external market and customers perceived service quality which is the outcome of customers' evaluation of the service quality which could be the basis for their future patronage decision. Even though the growing importance of people in service sectors are supported in main literatures there are still problems where traditional approaches of managing business that dully focus on external customers' satisfaction is still a believes of many firms. The study targets 130 samples of customers based on their convenience and easiness to discern their perception of service quality they receive from the bank and select 189 front-line employees randomly from different branches to obtain there evaluation of the bank's IM practice.The result shows that generally employees are dissatisfied with their bank's IM activity. The correlation analysis shows that all variables of IM have a significant association with employees' perception of internal service quality. The study also examines the influence of five dimensions of service quality on customers' perception of service quality. Employees' empathy, responsiveness, tangibility dimension, assurance and reliability of the service were found significant in affecting customers' judgment of service quality. Even if there is a strong positive correlation between IM variables and perceived service quality, the regression analysis shows that only Employees' Training, reward, empowerment and internal marketing research are significant to explain the variation in customers perceived service quality. Therefore, it is advisable for the bank to take the necessary measures regarding employees' training; revising the existing reward system to reflect all employees requirement; there should be empowerment to assist employees in their difficulties; internal marketing should be there to treat the employee as a customer

description: Using numerical models for star clusters spanning a wide range in ages and metallicities (Z) we study the masses of binary black holes (BBHs) produced dynamically and merging in the local universe ($z\lesssim0.2$). After taking into account cosmological constraints on star-formation rate and metallicity evolution, which realistically relate merger delay times obtained from models with merger redshifts, we show here for the first time that while old, metal-poor globular clusters can naturally produce merging BBHs with heavier components, as observed in GW150914, lower-mass BBHs like GW151226 are easily formed dynamically in younger, higher-metallicity clusters.More specifically, we show that the mass of GW151226 is well within $1σ$ of the mass distribution obtained from our models for clusters with Z/Zsun$\gtrsim0.5$. Indeed dynamical formation of a system like GW151226 likely requires a cluster that is younger and has a higher metallicity than typical Galactic globular clusters. The LVT151012 system, if real, could have been created in any cluster with Z/Zsun$\lesssim0.25$. On the other hand, GW150914 is more massive (beyond $1σ$) than typical BBHs from even the lowest-metallicity (Z/Zsun=0.005) clusters we consider, but is within $2σ$ of the intrinsic mass distribution from our cluster models with Z/Zsun$\lesssim0.05$; of course detection biases also push the observed distributions towards higher masses.

description: Onsite gain-loss-induced topological braiding principle of non-Hermitian energy bands is theoretically formulated in multiband lattice models with Hermitian hopping amplitudes. Braid phase transition occurs when the gain-loss parameter is tuned across exceptional point degeneracy. Laboratory realizable effective-Hamiltonians are proposed to realize braid groups $\mathbb{B}_2$ and $\mathbb{B}_3$ of two and three bands, respectively. While $\mathbb{B}_2$ is trivially Abelian, the group $\mathbb{B}_3$ features non-Abelian braiding and energy permutation originating from the collective behavior of multiple exceptional points. Phase diagrams with respect to lattice parameters to realize braid group generators and their non-commutativity are shown. The proposed theory is conducive to synthesizing exceptional materials for applications in topological computation and information processing.

We consider the effect of a resonance mass term from the DGP braneworld model for the higher-derivative massive gravity. Moreover, we add the gravitational Chern-Simons and Ricci-Cotton terms to this model and evaluate the graviton propagator using a basis of Barnes-Rivers spin projectors. Using the obtained propagator, we proceed with discussing the consistency of the model, writing the dispersion relations, and analyzing causality and unitarity.

description: We calculate chirally enhanced corrections to the muon's electric and magnetic dipole moments in two-Higgs-doublet models extended by vector-like leptons, and we explore a sharp correlation between $h \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ and the muon's dipole moments in these models. Among many detailed predictions, for a model with new leptons with the same quantum numbers as standard model leptons, we find that $0.38 \lesssim \tan β\lesssim 21$ necessarily requires a muon electric dipole moment to be observed at near-future experiments, assuming $h \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ is measured within $1\%$ of the standard model prediction for the current central value of the measured muon magnetic moment. In all studied models, the predicted values of the electric dipole moment can reach up to current experimental limits. Moreover, we show that in some models there can be two sources of chiral enhancement, parametrizing the correlation between $h \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-$ and the dipole moments by a complex number. This leads to sign-preferred predictions for the electric dipole moment.

description: We develop the interface tool $\verb|wan2respack|$, which connects $\verb|RESPACK|$ (software that derives the low-energy effective Hamiltonians of solids) with $\verb|Wannier90|$ (software that constructs Wannier functions). $\verb|wan2respack|$ converts the Wannier functions obtained by $\verb|Wannier90|$ into those used in $\verb|RESPACK|$, which is then used to derive the low-energy effective Hamiltonians of solids. In this paper, we explain the basic usage of $\verb|wan2respack|$ and show its application to standard compounds of correlated materials, namely, the correlated metal SrVO$_3$ and the high-$T_{c}$ superconductor La$_2$CuO$_4$. Furthermore, we compare the low-energy effective Hamiltonians of these compounds using Wannier functions obtained by $\verb|Wannier90|$ and those obtained by $\verb|RESPACK|$. We confirm that both types of Wannier functions give the same Hamiltonians. This benchmark comparison demonstrates that $\verb|wan2respack|$ correctly converts Wannier functions in the $\verb|Wannier90|$ format into those in the $\verb|RESPACK|$ format.

description: In this essay, I discuss an interdisciplinary science that is just blossoming: that of geo-neutrinos. I begin with a couple of episodes from the history of thought, showing the deep roots of Earth science and its many connections with microphysics. I then recall the stage of full maturity reached in the knowledge of neutrinos, which allows one to argue the full reliability of recent measurements. I conclude with a discussion of the state of the field and its prospects for the near future, and with a dedication to the memory of a colleague and friend, Giovanni Fiorentini, a pioneer of these studies.

description: The objective of this study was to examine the effects of social marketing advertising communication on intention of condom use. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire survey containing Likert statements on respondents' attitude towards the advertising in general, the advertising message, Advertising appeal and its orientation of social value and intention of condom use. Survey data was collected from 344 student sample respondents from University Gerji main campus to measure their attitude towards DKT Ethiopia's social marketing advertising communication. Multiple regression analysis was employed on survey to examine the proportion of variation on the dependent variable of intention of condom use explained by the independent variables Attitude towards the ad in general, advertising message, advertising appeal and its orientation to social value. One sample t- test was performed to measure the sample mean for intention of condom use. Results from data analysis revealed predictor variables attitude towards the ad, advertising message, ad appeal and ad's orientation to social value has a positive significant effect on the dependent variable and moderately strong intention of condom use.

Effects of the self-propulsion parity on the efficiency of a fuel-consuming active heat engine
Creators: name: Oh, Yongjae

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We propose a thermodynamically consistent, analytically tractable model of steady-state active heat engines driven by both temperature difference and a constant chemical driving. While the engine follows the dynamics of the Active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Particle, its self-propulsion stems from the mechanochemical coupling with the fuel consumption dynamics, allowing for both even- and odd-parity self-propulsion forces. Using the standard methods of stochastic thermodynamics, we show that the entropy production of the engine satisfies the conventional Clausius relation, based on which we define the efficiency of the model that is bounded from above by the second law of thermodynamics. Using this framework, we obtain exact expressions for the efficiency at maximum power. The results show that the engine performance has a nonmonotonic dependence on the magnitude of the chemical driving, and that the even-parity (odd-parity) engines perform better when the size of the engine is smaller (larger) than the persistence length of the active particle. We also discuss the existence of a tighter upper bound on the efficiency of the odd-parity engines stemming from the detailed structure of the entropy production.

description: The combination of parametric pumping and spin-transfer torque is a powerful approach that enables high-level control over magnetic excitations in thin-film ferromagnets. The excitation parameters, such as pumping power and external field strength, affect the instabilities of individual magnon modes. We theoretically explore how the simultaneous effects of parametric pumping and spin transfer torque influence these magnetic instabilities in a thin-film ferromagnet. Within the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert framework, we perform micromagnetic simulations of magnon excitations in yttrium iron garnet by pumping, spin transfer torque, and a combination of the two. We find that consistent with experimental results, the magnitude and direction of the spin-transfer torque tune the parametric instability thresholds.
Contribution of directedness in graph spectra

description: In graph analyses, directed edges are often approximated to undirected ones so that the adjacency matrices may be symmetric. However, such simplification has not been thoroughly verified. In this study, we investigate how directedness affects the graph spectra by introducing random directization, which is an opposite operation of neglecting edge directions. We analytically reveal that uniformly random directization typically conserves the relative spectral structure of the adjacency matrix in the perturbative regime. The result of random directization implies that the spectrum of the adjacency matrix can be conserved after the directedness is ignored.

Year: 2010

description: The city of A.A has serious problems in the provision of sewerage service delivery .The AAWSA is authorized to give services in the area to the city residents. The Addis Ababa city administration has also made private providers to take part in delivering the service. As to comparing service delivery quality between the two, very few probably one i.e World Bank in 2008 has made a comparison of the two. Comparing service delivery and customers' satisfaction levels in the two organizations is reasonable to identify the problems. Therefore; the main objective of this study is to examine challenges of service delivery in AAWSA and private providers. Comparison of service deliveries in both organizations are made using organizational and motivational factors which were identified as indicators of quality services delivery. Descriptive survey method was used to carry out the study. Questionnaire, interview and observation were tools used to gather data from sample population of the two organizations by employing appropriate sampling techniques. The collected data were organized, summarized and comparative analysis of the two sector service deliveries were made. From the analysis the following findings were drawn. The public provider (AAWSA) is better at giving trainings to its staff, guidance and support than the private providers. Service standards were established in both organization. There is better communication between the staff and the management in the private sewage providing organizations. Staff in the private providers are better empowered in decision making. Undesired work procedures were avoided and prompt services are given in the private providers. There is established accountability system in the private sewerage service providing organizations more than in AAWSA. Staff in the private sewerage service providing organizations are more benefited based on their performance evaluation results than staff in AAWSA. The private providers have made available equipment and material facilities needed to give services more than AAWSA does. AAWSA performed better at establishing complaint handling system and collecting comments from customers. In general, even though, the public provider (AAWSA) has been good at performing in some indicators, in the over all assessment, the private sewerage service providing organizations have better performances in the majority of the factors identified to assess service deliveries of the two sector providers. So customers of private providers are better satisfied with the services given by the private sewerage service providing organizations

description: We present high-order variational Lagrangian finite element methods for compressible fluids using a discrete energetic variational approach. Our spatial discretization is mass/momentum/energy conserving and entropy stable. Fully implicit time stepping is used for the temporal discretization, which allows for a much larger time step size for stability compared to explicit methods, especially for low-Mach number flows and/or on highly distorted meshes. Ample numerical results are presented to showcase the good performance of our proposed scheme.
