description: The case of the marginalized and how society regarded or responded to the same has played a significant part in shaping human history, philosophy and religious development. From the looks of it, the issue has not been laid to rest as society debates the share of the marginalized in the resources that are gained in a given society. Whether one calls it class struggle or competition for the ever dwindling resources, claims and counter claims have taken both amicable and violent forms between the haves and the have-nots. Much literature reflects this tug of war that has increasingly transcended national borders. A lot of movements and groupings have emerged over the years to close the gap of resource accessibility and to bring about a community where no one suffers from want and/or exclusion. Social justice as it is called has not come easily to many societies. Many sacrifices have been made in bringing about a playing field where the poor could not be ignored for the many lacks that they may have. From this tension, many gains of goodwill that have their own pivotal roles in making for mature and great societies have been made. From early on, the poor have had many allies. The ancient giants of thought and faith have appealed to all of means to share what they have with the less fortunate and have staked character primarily on the basis of one’s sense of obligation to the poor. Whether virtue or beneficence or piety, these concepts have come to characterize much of the stance of society towards the poor. The Judeo Christian tradition went further in making care for others as the epitome of the love that it advances. Islam regards

description: We present optical and ultraviolet spectra of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave (GW) source, the binary neutron star merger GW170817. Spectra were obtained nightly between 1.5 and 9.5 days post-merger, using the SOAR and Magellan telescopes; the UV spectrum was obtained with the \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} at 5.5 days. Our data reveal a rapidly-fading blue component ($$T\approx5500$$ K at 1.5 days) that quickly reddens; spectra later than $$\gtrsim 4.5$$ days peak beyond the optical regime. The spectra are mostly featureless, although we identify a possible weak emission line at $$\sim 7900$$ \AA\ at $$t\lesssim 4.5$$ days. The colours, rapid evolution and featureless spectrum are consistent with a "blue" kilonova from polar ejecta comprised mainly of light $r$-process nuclei with atomic mass number $$A\lesssim 140$$. This indicates a sight-line within $$\theta_{\rm obs}\lesssim 45^{\circ}$$ of the orbital axis. Comparison to models suggests $$\sim0.03$$ M$$_\odot$$ of blue ejecta, with a velocity of $$\sim 0.3c$$. The required lanthanide fraction is $$\sim 10^{-4}$$, but this drops to $$<10^{-5}$$ in the outermost ejecta. The large velocities point to a dynamical origin, rather than a disk wind, for this blue component, suggesting that both binary constituents are neutron stars (as opposed to a binary consisting of a neutron star and a black hole). For dynamical ejecta, the high mass favors a small neutron star radius of $$\lesssim 12$$ km. This mass also supports the idea that neutron star mergers are a major contributor to $r$-process nucleosynthesis.

description: Different mechanisms have been hypothesized to explain the increase in prevalence and severity of periodontitis in older adults, including shifts in the periodontal microbiota. However, the actual impact of aging in the composition of subgingival biofilms remains unclear. In the present article, we provide an overview of the composition of the subgingival biofilm in older adults and the potential effects of age on the oral microbiome. In particular, this review covers the following topics: (i) the oral microbiota of an aging mouth, (ii) the effects of age and time on the human oral microbiome, (iii) the potential impact of inflammaging and immunosenescence in the host-oral microbiota interactions, and (iv) the relationship of the aging oral microbiota and Alzheimer’s disease. Finally, in order to explore in greater breadth the potential effects of aging on the periodontal microbiota, we present analyses of data compiled from large clinical studies that evaluated the subgingival microbiota of periodontally healthy subjects and periodontitis patients from a wide age spectrum (20–83 years old). Those studies were conducted at Guarulhos University (São Paulo, SP, Brazil) and at The Forsyth Institute (Cambridge, USA), from 1999 to 2014.

description: Collaborative Positioning (CP) is a networked positioning technique in which different multi-sensor systems (nodes) enhance the accuracy and precision of these navigation solutions by performing measurements or by sharing information (links) between each other. The wide spectrum of available sensors that are used in these complex scenarios bring the necessity to analyze the sensibility of the system to different configurations in order to find optimal solutions. In this paper, we discuss the implementation and evaluation of a simulation tool that allows us to study these questions. The simulation tool is successfully implemented as a plane based localization problem, in which the sensor measurements are fused in a Collaborative Extended Kalman Filter (C-EKF) algorithm with implicit constraints. Using a real urban scenario with three vehicles equipped with various positioning sensors, the impact of the sensor configuration is investigated and discussed by intensive Monte Carlo simulations. The results show the influence of the laser scanner measurements on the accuracy and precision of the estimation, and the increased performance of the collaborative navigation techniques with respect to the single vehicle method. © Authors 2019.

Centrality determination of Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV with ALICE

description: This publication describes the methods used to measure the centrality of inelastic Pb-Pb collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per colliding nucleon pair with ALICE. The centrality is a key parameter in the study of the properties of QCD matter at extreme temperature and energy density, because it is directly related to the initial overlap region of the colliding nuclei. Geometrical properties of the collision, such as the number of participating nucleons and number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, are deduced from a Glauber model with a sharp impact parameter selection, and shown to be consistent with those extracted from the data. The centrality determination provides a tool to compare ALICE measurements with those of other experiments and with theoretical calculations.

description: Recent experiments have shown that when a near-hemispherical lipid vesicle attached to a solid surface is subjected to a simple shear flow it exhibits a pattern of membrane circulation much like a dipole vortex. This is in marked contrast to the toroidal circulation that would occur in the related problem of a drop of immiscible fluid attached to a surface and subjected to shear. This profound difference in flow patterns arises from the lateral incompressibility of the membrane, which restricts the observable flows to those in which the velocity field in the membrane is two-dimensionally divergence free. Here we study these circulation patterns within the simplest model of membrane fluid dynamics. A systematic expansion of the flow field based on Papkovich--Neuber potentials is developed for general viscosity ratios between the membrane and the surrounding fluids. Comparison with experimental results [C. Vézy, G. Massiera, and A. Viallat, Soft Matter 3, 844 (2007)] is made, and it is shown how such studies could allow measurements of the membrane viscosity. Issues of symmetry-breaking and pattern selection are discussed.

description: Abstract We use the F-theory realization of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) to study the corresponding spectrum of stringlike, i.e., surface defects. On the tensor branch, all of the stringlike excitations pick up a finite tension, and there is a corresponding lattice of string charges, as well as a dual lattice of charges for the surface defects. The defect group is data intrinsic to the SCFT and measures the surface defect charges which are not screened by dynamical strings. When non-trivial, it indicates that the associated theory has a partition vector rather than a partition function. We compute the defect group for all known 6D SCFTs, and find that it is just the abelianization of the discrete subgroup of U (2) which appears in the classification of 6D SCFTs realized in F-theory. We also explain how the defect group specifies defining data in the compactification of a (1, 0) SCFT.

description: In most cases, workplace stresses are happening in the work of humanitarian organization. This is because the work is more emergency that is should be finalized within specific period of time. The case of workplace stress also believed to be happening in NRC Ethiopia because of different reasons like workload and the working environment of the offices are located. In addition, there is no formal guideline on how to handle workplace stress. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to explore to what extent employees of NRC are stressed and assess the general stress management practice of the organization. And in addition, this study is to determine the main causes and consequences of stress at work, most stress symptoms and the coping mechanisms of stress. The research also analyses the overall situation of workplace stress in the organization under the study. Staffs in different field offices and Addis Ababa office were requested to fill questionnaire and some management staff were invited for interview in order to get more informational and practical examples from the real and current situation of the organization. The researcher found out that there is workplace stress that should be managed by individual staff and the organization management. The most frequent work place stressors in the organization includes workload, improper responsibility, role not clearly defined, work amenities, self interest, poor communication, bad management practice, organizational change policies and conflict in work. Because of these stressors staff face the following stress symptoms: worry, restlessness, anxiety, depression, poor judgment, feeling of insecurity, anger, sadness, inability to concentrate, memory losing, headache, loss of energy, back pain, sleeping problem, under eating and alcohol abuse. Therefore, to cope up with stress situation, employees use different coping mechanisms including taking responsibility, learn better communication, learn task management skills and the organization uses job redesign/restructuring, improve communication, coaching, counseling and medication. This shows stress management strategies used by this organization so as to minimize the occurrence of workplace stress and to prevent the case should be improved. Therefore, the staff and organization to be effective at work and support the refugees in need, there should be stress management policy in the organization and the staff should get training about stress and coping mechanisms.

We detected two subharmonic gap structures related with multiple Andreev reflections, indicating the presence of two superconducting gaps with the BCS-ratios $2Δ_L/k_BT_C = 4.2 ÷5.9$ and $2Δ_S/k_BT_C\sim 1 \ll 3.52$, respectively. Temperature dependences of the two gaps $Δ_{L,S}(T)$ in FeSe indicate a $k$-space proximity effect between two superconducting condensates. For the studied iron-based superconductors we found a linear relation between the gap $Δ_L$ and magnetic resonance energy, $E_{\rm res} \approx 2Δ_L$.

title: Biogeography and evolution of Thermococcus isolates from hydrothermal vent systems of the Pacific
Creators: name: Price, Mark Thomas
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2013

description:
Thermococcus are an Archaeal genus of hyperthermophilic microorganisms found to be ubiquitously present in hydrothermal habitats. DNA analyses of Thermococcus isolates focusing primarily on isolates from the Juan de Fuca Ridge, Gorda Ridge, and South East Pacific Rise, were applied in order to determine the relationship between geographic distribution and relatedness. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) were used to resolve genomic differences at the species and strain level in 90 isolates of Thermococcus, allowing for the detection of biogeographic patterns and evolutionary relationships within this genus. Isolates were differentiated at regional levels and into distinct lineages within regions. Although no correlation was found between environmental characteristics and genotype, the presence of distinct lineages within the same vent site suggests the utilization of different ecological niches by distinct Thermococcus species. A unique group of Thermococcus identified, that lacked geographic genetic structure, contained highly similar isolates from disparate regions. The anomalous nature of this group may be explained by a recent population divergence, having high dispersal potential or possibly in being a niche specific ecotype. In addition to the resolution of biogeographic patterns and evolution in Thermococcus that this study has provided, new questions have been raised about the closely related Pyrococcus genus. Analysis of loci GC ratios and the placement of Pyrococcus type strains in phylogenetic trees have demonstrated the close association between Thermococcus and Pyrococcus and the unresolved divergence between these two genera.

description: With the aim to identify and document gaps and good practices for enhancing graduate employability, what private universities doing in Ethiopia and the associated macro environment were assessed with mixed approaches, using qualitative and quantitative data collection. Methods included: an extensive review of literature, examination of official documents and key informant interview at five institutions selected for case study. Document survey results show that since the second half of the 1990s, Ethiopia has been made to have national policies and strategies promoting and supporting the education for employment agenda which needs to be supported by national graduate employability focused policy framework, vision, strategies, programs, guidelines and working group dealing with the matter. Regarding the situation at micro level, it was found that all private higher education providers covered in the study are well aware of the fact that graduate unemployment or underemployment problem has been manifesting in unprecedented way in present Ethiopia. Paradoxically, however, none of them managed to have a full-fledged system function dedicated to the enhancement of graduate employability. Unlike pre-program need assessment, the practice of conducting tracer studies and/or industry satisfaction surveys for identifying the employment situation of graduates and taking the necessary corrective measures with industry feedback and participation was found a rarity. In so far as interventions seeking to enhance graduate employability through curricular, cocurricular and extracurricular activities are concerned, much has not been done in all cases. In nutshell, the agenda of graduate employability has not been given adequate attention at all levels: policy, strategy, curriculum & instruction, research and development. Changing such a scenario will definitely enable the case study institutions produce employable graduates capable of emancipating themselves and others from the yoke of poverty.

Circadian clocks optimally adapt to sunlight for reliable synchronization

description: Circadian oscillation provides selection advantages through synchronization to the daylight cycle. However, a reliable clock must be designed through two conflicting properties: entrainability to synchronize internal time with periodic stimuli such as sunlight, and regularity to oscillate with a precise period. These two aspects do not easily coexist because better entrainability favors higher sensitivity, which may sacrifice the regularity. To investigate conditions for satisfying the two properties, we analytically calculated the optimal phase-response curve with a variational method. Our result indicates an existence of a dead zone, i.e., a time period during which input stimuli neither advance nor delay the clock. A dead zone appears only when input stimuli obey the time course of actual solar radiation but a simple sine curve cannot yield a dead zone. Our calculation demonstrates that every circadian clock with a dead zone is optimally adapted to the daylight cycle.

description: This paper presents a method for the classification of images of silk fabrics with the aim to predict properties such as the placeand time of origin and the production technique. The proposed method was developed in the context of the EU project SILKNOW(http://silknow.eu/). In the context of classification, we address the problem of limited as well as not fully labelled data andinvestigate the connection between the distinct variables. A pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used for thefeature extraction and a classification network realizing Multi-task learning (MTL) is trained based on these features. The trainingprocedure is adapted to enable the consideration of images that do not have a label for all tasks. Additionally, MTL with fullylabeled training data is investigated for the classification of silk fabrics. The impact of both MTL approaches is compared to singletask learning based on two different class structures. We achieve overall accuracies of 92-95% and average F1-scores of 88-90% inour best experiments. © 2019 Authors.
Relaxation of magnetic field relative to plasma density revealed from microwave zebra patterns associated with solar flares

description: It is generally considered that the emission of microwave zebra pattern (ZP) structures requires high density and high temperatures, which is similar to the situation of the flaring region where primary energy releases. Therefore, the parameters analysis of ZPs may reveal the physical conditions of the flaring source region. This work investigates the variations of 74 microwave ZP structures observed by Chinese Solar Broadband Radio Spectrometer (SBRS/Huairou) at 2.6-3.8 GHz in 9 solar flares, and found that the ratio between the plasma density scale height LN and the magnetic field scale height LB in emission source displays a tendency of decrease during the flaring processes. The ratio LN/LB is about 3-5 before the maximum of flares. It decreases to about 2 after the maximum. The detailed analysis of three typical X-class flares implied that the variation of LN/LB during the flaring process is most likely due to the topological changes of the magnetic field in the flaring source region, and the step-wise decrease of LN/LB possibly reflects the magnetic field relaxation relative to the plasma density when the flaring energy released. This result may also constrain the solar flare modeling to some extent.

Investigation of Peak Load Reduction Strategies in Residential Buildings in Cooling Dominated Climates
Creators: name: Atallah, Fady
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2013

description: This investigation of peak load reduction strategies in residential buildings contributes to the global international efforts in reducing energy consumption and is related directly to energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings. Work reported here involves computer aided building energy simulation of energy efficient and non-energy efficient residential homes coupled with empirical energy consumption data gathered from monitoring an array of energy efficient residential homes. The latter have been implemented for peak load reduction strategies. In addition non-energy efficient residential homes have been monitored to compare performance to the energy efficient homes. This study demonstrates the crucial importance of energy efficiency and peak load reduction strategies in sustaining the energy needs of the southwest US region using Las Vegas for the actual setting. It provides the largest energy consumption data set examined, specifically peak consumption, from energy efficient and non-energy efficient homes at this location. The study demonstrates the peak load reduction benefits of a variety of strategies, namely roof-integrated PV panels, energy efficient building envelope, and substation battery storage. The study focuses on the month of August 2011 and shows how the load reduction can reach 75% at peak times during that month using the computer aided energy simulation. Moreover, the study compares the recorded electrical consumption data from the collection of energy efficient and non-energy efficient residential homes and proves the simulation results in reaching the 75% reduction in electrical consumption at peak times. The study also tries to marry the gathered electrical consumption data of the energy efficient and non-energy efficient homes with the computer simulation model. This is done to reach an actual representative model which behaves similarly to the average of the group of energy and non-energy efficient homes. The benefit of the energy efficient strategies in reducing the load in peak times is emphasized.

description: Spin polarization of a topological surface state for GeBi$_2$Te$_4$, the newly discovered three-dimensional topological insulator, has been studied by means of the state of the art spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. It has been revealed that the disorder in the crystal has a minor effect on the surface state spin polarization and it exceeds 75% near the Dirac point in the bulk energy gap region ($\sim$180 meV). This new finding for GeBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$ promises not only to realize a highly spin polarized surface isolated transport but to add new functionality to its thermoelectric and thermomagnetic properties.

description: There exists no generally accepted definition of the term “capital flight”. For the purpose of this article capital flight refers to Illegal capital flight, also known as illicit financial flows, which disappear from any record in the country of origin. Moreover earnings on the stock of illegal capital flight outside of a country generally do not return to the country of origin. In this regard, capital flight is creating a serious development challenges for most African economies. Ethiopia is not exceptional for this impact. The analysis of this article led to two major findings. First, African countries have become increasingly indebted; they experienced large scale capital flight. According to studies a group of 33 SSA (Sub- Saharan Africa) countries has lost a total of $814 billion dollars from 1970 to 2010. This exceeds the amount of official development aid ($659 billion) and foreign direct investment ($306 billion) received by these countries. Oil-rich countries account for 72 percent of the total capital flight from the sub region ($591 billion). Secondly, an upcoming report by Global Financial Integrity 2009, finds that Ethiopia, which has a per-capita GDP of just US$365, lost US$11.7 billion to illicit financial outflows between 2000 and 2009. In 2009, illicit money leaving the economy totaled US$3.26 billion, which is double the amount in each of the two previous years. In conclusion, currently the impact of capital flight for Ethiopia economy is becoming very severe. So, Ethiopian government effort to promoting economic development must be go hand in hand with fighting capital flight

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: This study illustrated that fiber moisture restoration gives good protection against certain losses of fiber properties attributable to severe drying. However, the combination of severe drying followed by the restoration of moisture is considered to be a less satisfactory practice than that of drying cotton to its proper moisture level through adequate controls. If the latter is done, restoration of moisture is not necessary. The proper function of restoring moisture at the gin is to raise the moisture level of cotton that was brought to the gin too dry for proper ginning.

description: Delegating difficult computations to remote large computation facilities, with appropriate security guarantees, is a possible solution for the ever-growing needs of personal computing power. For delegated computation protocols to be usable in a larger context---or simply to securely run two protocols in parallel---the security definitions need to be composable. Here, we define composable security for delegated quantum computation. We distinguish between protocols which provide only blindness---the computation is hidden from the server---and those that are also verifiable---the client can check that it has received the correct result. We show that the composable security definition capturing both these notions can be reduced to a combination of several distinct "trace-distance-type" criteria---which are, individually, non-composable security definitions. Additionally, we study the security of some known delegated quantum computation protocols, including Broadbent, Fitzsimons and Kashefi's Universal Blind Quantum Computation protocol. Even though these protocols were originally proposed with insufficient security criteria, they turn out to still be secure given the stronger composable definitions.

description: Sleep apnea disorder has recently emerged as a significant public health issue. While the prevalence of obesity is on the rise among children, it is one of the main risk factors associated with apnea. Upper airway dimensions and morphology seem to be major components of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and can be affected by different craniofacial patterns. The purpose of this retrospective, cross-sectional pilot study is to correlate gender, Body Mass Index, risk for OSA, neck circumference, and 3-D oropharyngeal airway dimensions in children and adolescents with different antero-posterior (AP) and vertical craniofacial skeletal patterns. A total of 86 pre-orthodontic treatment records in the age group of 8-16 years were analyzed. 3-D volumetric skeletal tracing and oropharyngeal airway measurements were completed for each scan. Each subject was classified into AP Classes I, II, and III groups; vertical Normodivergent, Hypodivergent, and Hyperdivergent groups; and combined AP-vertical subgroups. Oropharyngeal airway measurements included the total oropharyngeal airway volume, minimum cross-section area, depth, width, and perimeter. Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were performed to evaluate the relationships among variables. There were one or more correlations, but not all, between gender, Body Mass Index, risk for OSA, neck circumference, and 3-D oropharyngeal airway dimensions in children and adolescents among the AP groups, vertical groups, and nine craniofacial subgroups (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). This investigation aimed to determine whether patients with certain skeletal deficiencies are predisposed to upper airway obstruction. Early identification and management of airway problems in children and adolescents may prevent or minimize the sequelae and adverse dental implications of obstructive sleep apnea. Our small, young groups of sample were mainly in the healthy weight category with normal size neck circumference. Therefore, this limited our overall findings. Currently, sleep disorders are not well researched and understood. Long-term goal of our study is to further investigate this study in larger sample size taken into considerations predisposing factors (i.e. abnormal neural regulation and intrinsic muscle weakness) and pathologic conditions (allergies, polyps, and tumors). The physiology of the airway, influenced by these confounding factors, has an essential role in determining whether patients with certain skeletal deficiencies are predisposed to upper airway obstruction. Sleep apnea is a complex phenomenon that warrants further research regarding the physiology and anatomy of the airway and craniofacial structures.

description: Entrepreneurship has played an important role in economic growth, innovation, competitiveness and in poverty alleviation. Today’s dynamic, global, and challenging business environment requires a firm to be entrepreneurial if it is to survive and grow. Rapidly changing technology and shortened product life cycles support the need for a firm to be innovative and develop new ideas, products, and processes, and be willing to take risks to cope with rapid change. Increased domestic and global competition amplifies the need for a firm to stay ahead of competition. In dynamic business environment, Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) must make competitive changes in order to move forward. The capacity to seize on an opportunity depends on the level of entrepreneurial orientation that a firm possesses (Waldron, 2004). This is because direct entrepreneurial orientation is associated with innovation, proactive and the willingness to take risk which is an important measurement to a firm when implementing a certain strategy to compete with opponents. This study investigated the degree of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) of thirty footwear manufacturing Small and Medium scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Addis Ababa. This study deals with the five dimensions that are critical to entrepreneurial orientation: innovation, pro-activeness, risk taking, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy in relation to small & medium leather footwear manufacturing enterprises in Addis Ababa. And finally come up with the information that to what extent the investigated enterprises are aware of EO and practice it. Qualitative and quantitative techniques were applied for data analysis. Findings showed about 80% of SMEs in AA represented moderate and above moderate level of EO. From the five dimensions: Proactiveness, innovativeness, risk taking competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy, the autonomy and proactiveness dimensions are the most and least exercised ones by the respondents taken in this study. Results further indicated there were moderate responses to the rest dimensions. This study could be useful for policy makers to plan their activities towards entrepreneurship development of SMEs in AA. It is hoped that the findings of this study discussed here can benefit the government, entrepreneurs, other researchers, and important parties in the field of entrepreneurship.

description: The United States (U.S.) is facing significant challenges in addressing aging water infrastructure. Most of the drinking water infrastructure is reaching the end of their useful lives. The American Water Works Association (AWWA) estimated that it will cost about $1 trillion to repair or replace drinking water pipes. Over the next 20 years, it will cost about $298 billion to fix or expand pipes of the nation's wastewater and storm-water systems (AWWA, 2012). Owners, engineers, and contractors are using Alternative Project Delivery (APD) methods - e.g., Design-Build Construction Management-at-Risk Construction Management/General Contractor- to build water and wastewater projects in order to save time, cost, and improve the quality of the projects.
The purpose of the research was to find the owners' satisfaction levels regarding various benefits related to APD methods as well as different obstacles in using these methods in water and wastewater projects. In addition to this, it was to determine the different satisfaction level of APD methods experienced by different levels of respondents as well as by type of project delivery method experience. A survey questionnaire was prepared and emailed to 455 utility owners to determine their assessments about these project delivery methods.
The results showed the majority of respondents were satisfied with various benefits provided by the APD methods. They also showed that Project Staff was significantly more satisfied with APD methods than Utility Manager. Design-Build users were significantly more satisfied with the quality of completed project than Construction Management-at-Risk users. In addition, Statistical analysis of the responses revealed important insight to interested parties of the water industry.
