description: The baryon/skyrmion correspondence implies that the baryon number is encoded into a topological surface integral. Under certain conditions that we clarify, this surface integral can be measured by an asymptotic observer in form of an Aharonov-Bohm phase-shift in an experiment in which the skyrmion passes through a loop of a probe string. In such a setup the baryon/skyrmion number must be respected by black holes, despite the fact that it produces no long-range classical field. If initially swallowed by a black hole, the baryon number must resurface in form of a classical skyrmion hair, after the black hole evaporates below a certain critical size. Needless to say, the respect of the baryon number by black holes is expected to have potentially-interesting astrophysical consequences.

Cold spray is a deposition method developed for manufacturing metallic coatings by impacting high-velocity metallic powders on a substrate surface at around room temperature. Because of the low temperature of impacted particles, no oxidation or phase transformations occur during spraying. However, the main limitations of cold spray are associated with considerable gas consumption to accelerate the particles and stringent powder size. To address these issues, liquid cold spray (LCS), as a pioneering technology, has been developed with the potential of utilizing water as the propellant for depositing coarse powders. In terms of producing the coatings, LCS is like conventional cold spray. In both techniques, the severe plastic deformation of the deposited particle and the substrate is the main cause of metallurgical bonding. However, the main difference is related to a thin film of water formed on the top of the substrate while LCS is being used. Thus, this research aims to examine the effect of the thin  water layer on particle and substrate deformation by elastic- plastic finite-element modeling. Specifically, the deformation  of an impacted 50 μm copper particle on a copper substrate covered with a water layer thickness of 3 and 6 μm was examined by the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method. The results showed that having a 6 μm water film compared to the situation with no water covering the substrate decreased the particle flattening ratio and equivalent plastic strain of the substrate around 4% and 21%, respectively. This reduction in deformation can be related to the portion of the particle’s kinetic energy devoted to passing the particle through the water layer. In the end, it is assumed that the particle velocity increased from 500 m/s to 600 m/s before its impact on a substrate covered with a 6 μm water film. The results illustrated that increasing the kinetic energy of the deposited particle can overcome the negative effect of water film and increase the deformation of the particle, particle flattening ratio, and substrate deformation.

description: This paper examines the potential determinants of FDI inflow to Ethiopia. The selected determinants are market size, trade openness, exchange rate and inflation rate were used as independent variables to measure the effect on FDI inflows to Ethiopia. The study covers 26-year period start from 1992 to 2017 of time series data collected from NBE and World Bank dataset and the collected data analyzed using ARDL model to get long run and short run effects of the variables. Firstly, the study found that in long run market size measured by real GDP per capita has negative but its effect is non-significant, exchange rate and trade openness have positive impact but their effect is insignificant. On the other hand, inflation rate has negative impact on FDI inflow in long term and its effect is significant at 10% level. Secondly, in short run, based on ARDL cointegration real GDP per capita, trade openness and inflation rate have negative impact on net FDI inflow. In short run exchange rate has positive impact on net inflow. The effect of all variables in short term is statistically insignificant. As per findings the recommendation also forwarded. The government should focus on creating conducive investment environment to attract more capital inflow. The government should also focus on more openness through increasing current export level. As a finding indicate exchange rate depreciation positive effect, the policy makers should review to increases on timely bases while controlling other factors increases inflationary level

description: The phenomenon of self-assembly of constituent elements to form molecules at low temperatures appears ubiquitously in transition metal compounds with orbital degrees of freedom. Recent progress in local structure studies using synchrotron radiation x-rays is shifting the interest in structural studies in such molecule-forming systems from the low-temperature ordered phase to the short-range order that appears like a precursor at high temperatures. In this study, we discuss both experimentally and theoretically the relationship between the trimer structure that appears in the layered LiV$X_2$ ($X$ = O, S, Se) system with a two-dimensional triangular lattice of vanadium and the zigzag chain-like local structure that appears near the phase transition boundary where molecular formation occurs. The vanadium trimerization that persistently appears in both low-temperature phases of LiVO$_2$ and LiVS$_2$ disappears in LiVSe$_2$, and a regular triangular lattice is thought to be realized in LiVSe$_2$, but this study reveals that the zigzag chain local distortion appears with a finite correlation length. This zigzag chain state local distortions are similar to the motif of local distortions in the high-temperature phase of LiVS$_2$, indicating that the local distortions are persistent away from the trimer phase transition boundary. On the other hand, it is concluded that the zigzag chain order appearing in LiVSe$_2$ is more stable than that in LiVS$_2$ in terms of the temperature variation of atomic displacement and correlation length. The zigzag chain order is considered to be competitive with the trimer order appearing in the LiV$X_2$ system. In this paper, we discuss the similarities and differences between the parameters that stabilize these electronic phases and the local distortions that appear in other molecular formation systems.

description: Kerr frequency combs generated in high-Q microresonators offer an immense potential in many applications, and predicting and quantifying their behavior, performance and stability is key to systematic device design. Based on an extension of the Lugiato-Lefever equation we investigate in this paper the perspectives of changing the pump scheme from the well-understood monochromatic pump to a dual-tone configuration simultaneously pumping two modes. For the case of anomalous dispersion we give a detailed study of the optimal choices of detuning offsets and division of total pump power between the two modes in order to optimize single-soliton comb states with respect to performance metrics like power conversion efficiency and bandwidth. Our approach allows also to quantify the performance metrics of the optimal single-soliton comb states and determine their trends over a wide range of technically relevant parameters.

The present proposals can be experimentally implemented and easily controlled by tunning the external parameters.

Spacetime topology from holographic entanglement

description: An asymptotically AdS geometry connecting two or more boundaries is given by a entangled state, that can be expanded in the product basis of the Hilbert spaces of each CFT living on the boundaries. We derive a prescription to compute this expansion for states describing spacetimes with general spatial topology in arbitrary dimension. To large N, the expansion coincides with the Schmidt decomposition and the coefficients are given by $n$-point correlation functions on a particular Euclidean geometry. We show that this applies to all spacetime that admits a Hartle-Hawking type of wave functional, which via a standard hypothesis on the spatial topology, can be (one to one) mapped to CFT states defined on the asymptotic boundary. It is also observed that these states are endowed with quantum coherence properties. Applying this as holographic engineering, one can to construct an emergent space geometry with certain predetermined topology by preparing an entangled state of the dual quantum system. As an example, we apply the method to calculate the expansion and characterize a spacetime whose initial spatial topology is a (genus one) handlebody.

description: In order to expand the applicability of muon spin rotation, relaxation, and resonance ($μ$SR) experiments with pulsed muons and to make effective use of the high-flux beam, we have developed a new experimental method ``transient $μ$SR''. In this method, $μ$SR data for each muon pulse are tagged with external parameters such as temperature and magnetic field in real time, allowing the sample environment to be changed without interrupting data collection. As a result, continuous $μ$SR measurements under sample conditions that vary on a time scale longer than the beam pulse interval (40 ms) are realized, and efficient beam utilization is achieved by eliminating the lag time associated with moving between discrete measurement points. The transient $μ$SR method was applied to the study of the magnetic properties of cupric oxide (CuO) and the observation of level-crossing resonance relaxation in copper, and the method was successfully established by confirming that the results reproduce those in the previous reports.

Integration Of Artificial Neural Network And Finite Element Method For Prediction Of Elastic-Plastic Deformation Behaviour Near Crack Tips
Creators: Mortazavi, S.N.S.
Ince, A.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

It has been widely accepted that stress and strain fields near the crack tip govern crack propagation behavior. In most cases, an elasto-plastic analysis is required to determine local stress and strain fields around the crack tip due to the high stress concentration. However, complexities of such analysis lead researchers to either employ modified elastic analyses to approximately address stress/strain fields near the crack tip, or consider cracks as micro notches and use the  Neuber rule as an approximation method to estimate elasto- plastic stress/strain fields from elastic stress/strain fields in the  vicinity of micro notch tips. Unfortunately, both approaches have limitations to provide generalized solutions. The present work aims to develop robust artificial neural network (ANN) models to obtain elasto-plastic stress, strain, and displacement fields near the crack tips by means of a numerical elastic solution rather than a complex elasto-plastic solution. In order to do so, two separate finite element models (FEMs) are implemented to analyze a cracked specimen, made of stainless steel (SS304), under mode (I) of loading in both elastic and elasto-plastic states. ANN models are developed to learn the relationship between elastic and elasto-plastic behavior of the  material in the presence of cracks. The elastic and elasto- plastic FEMs are employed to generate the input and output  numerical data, respectively, to train and validate the constructed ANN models. The results show that well-trained  ANN models can efficiently and accurately predict the elasto-plastic stress, strain, and displacement fields around the crack  tips on the basis of numerical elastic finite element solution under monotonic loading conditions.

description: We consider a spin-(1/2) XY chain in a transverse (z) field with multisite interactions. The additional terms introduced into the Hamiltonian involve products of spin components related to three adjacent sites. A Jordan–Wigner transformation leads to a simple bilinear Fermi form for the resulting Hamiltonian and, hence, the spin model admits a rigorous analysis. We point out the close relationships between several variants of the model, which were discussed separately in previous studies. The ground-state phases (ferromagnet and two kinds of spin liquid) of the model are reflected in the dynamic structure factors of the spin chains, which are the main focus in this study. First, we consider the zz dynamic structure factor, reporting for this quantity a closed-form expression and analyzing the properties of the two-fermion (particle-hole) excitation continuum, which governs the dynamics of transverse spin component fluctuations and of some other local operator fluctuations. Then we examine the xx dynamic structure factor, which is governed by many-fermion excitations, reporting both analytical and numerical results. We discuss some easily recognized features of the dynamic structure factors, which are signatures of the presence of the three-site interactions.

description: Unsupervised representation learning for dynamic graphs has attracted a lot of research attention in recent years. Compared with static graph, the dynamic graph is a comprehensive embodiment of both the intrinsic stable characteristics of nodes and the time-related dynamic preference. However, existing methods generally mix these two types of information into a single representation space, which may lead to poor explanation, less robustness, and a limited ability when applied to different downstream tasks. To solve the above problems, in this paper, we propose a novel disenTangled representation learning framework for discrete-time Dynamic graphs, namely DyTed. We specially design a temporal-clips contrastive learning task together with a structure contrastive learning to effectively identify the time-invariant and time-varying representations respectively. To further enhance the disentanglement of these two types of representation, we propose a disentanglement-aware discriminator under an adversarial learning framework from the perspective of information theory. Extensive experiments on Tencent and five commonly used public datasets demonstrate that DyTed, as a general framework that can be applied to existing methods, achieves state-of-the-art performance on various downstream tasks, as well as be more robust against noise.

description: Higher education institutions provide staff support within an increasingly internationalised global higher education context. One aspect of this context is the increasing international mobility of academic teachers. Academic teachers may face considerable challenges in navigating cross-national and cross-cultural contexts of higher education teaching and learning but there is limited understanding of these challenges and associated institutional support is typically underdeveloped. This thesis addresses this issue by generating theoretical insight into academic teachers’ transitions into international teaching roles. The research uses an in-depth qualitative interview research design involving twenty-one international academics teaching in Oman, a country heavily dependent on international academic teachers. The theoretical concept of teaching and learning regimes (TLRs) helps to reveal deep-rooted sociocultural underpinnings of the academics’ teaching experiences. These experiences reveal how departmental teaching cultures that TLRs describe are embedded in wider societal culture – a link that the research theorises through the concept of institutional logics. In turn, the thesis proposes a concept of “teaching cultural distances” to help understand the experiences and support requirements of international academic teachers. The research identifies teaching-cultural-distance-related tensions and challenges and reveals pronounced experiences of accompanying negative emotions. The research indicates a consequential relationship between these emotions and isolation, with the latter leading to individualised “coping” teaching practices. These elements are conceptualised as potentially forming a “transition trap”. The research suggests that experience of a transition trap may contribute to teachers departing prematurely from their role or continuing but without genuine engagement. Factors and behaviours are identified that, instead, facilitate some teachers embracing their new teaching role. The research calls for institutional support for international academic teachers that: recognises teaching cultural distances being navigated; promotes associated productive surfacing and questioning of individuals’ basic assumptions and values about teaching; recognises teaching-related emotional vulnerabilities of individuals; and overall, is theoretically and sensitively conceived.

description: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that affect the purchase decisions of working women in Addis Ababa. This study attempts to explore and determine the effects of personality that are responsible for the purchasing decisions made the working women. In this research the OCEAN model of personality or the "Big Five" model is used as the theoretical foundation to examine the factor. The population size was 274,762 which were found from 2007 Population and Housing Census results. The primary data had been collected through 380 valid questionnaire surveys from target respondents of working women in Addis Ababa from the age of 25 to 59. Mixed research approach method has been employed. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to generate the actual results on frequency tables while descriptive analysis was used to analyze and describe the findings. The results confirmed that personality factors like Openness, Extraversion and Agreeableness as having a positive significant relationship with purchase decision of working women in Addis Ababa while Neuroticism was proven to have a negative significant relationship and Conscientiousness as having a positive insignificant relationship. The study recommended marketers to give much emphasis on considering working women personality traits for better awareness target their strategies on convincing these social influencers and address the marketing gap by giving attention for effects of working women personality on their purchase decision.

description: Heavy neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale can simultaneously generate the light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the baryon asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis. The requirement to explain these phenomena imposes constraints on the mass spectrum of the heavy neutrinos, their flavour mixing pattern and their $CP$ properties. We first combine bounds from different experiments in the past to map the viable parameter regions in which the minimal low scale seesaw model can explain the observed neutrino oscillations, while being consistent with the negative results of past searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. We then study which additional predictions for the properties of the heavy neutrinos can be made based on the requirement to explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe. Finally, we comment on the perspectives to find traces of heavy neutrinos in future experimental searches at the LHC, NA62, BELLE II, T2K, SHiP or a future high energy collider, such as ILC, CEPC or FCC-ee. If any heavy neutral leptons are discovered in the future, our results can be used to assess whether these particles are indeed the common origin of the light neutrino masses and the baryon asymmetry of the universe. If the magnitude of their couplings to all Standard Model flavours can be measured individually, and if the Dirac phase in the lepton mixing matrix is determined in neutrino oscillation experiments, then all model parameters can in principle be determined from this data. This makes the low scale seesaw a fully testable model of neutrino masses and baryogenesis.

description: The van der Waals (vdW) magnetic heterostructures provide flexible ways to realize particular magnetic properties that possess both scientific and practical significance. Here, by firstprinciples calculation, we predict strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMIs) by constructing CrI3/Metal vdW heterostructures. The underlaying mechanisms are ascribed the large spin-orbital coupling (SOC) of the I atom and the structural distortion in CrI3 layer caused by interlayer interaction. This is different from the traditional way that deposit magnetic films on substrate to generate DMI, wherein DMI is dominated by interlayer hybridization and large SOC of substrates. In addition, both Heisenberg exchange and magnetic anisotropy are modulated dramatically, such as Heisenberg exchange is nearly doubled on Au(111), and the out-of-plane magnetism is enhanced by 88% on Ir(111). Our work may provide a experimentally accessible strategy to induce DMI in vdW magnetic materials, which will be helpful to the design of spintronics devices.

description: The glass-former salol was studied using carbon and deuteron NMR. For the 13C measurements protonated samples were used. For the deuteron experiments salol was selectively deuterated at the phenyl ring. The measurement of the spin-lattice relaxation times provides clear evidence for an anisotropic reorientation of the molecules in the supercooled liquid. Close to the glass transition a bimodal longitudinal magnetization recovery is observed which indicates the presence of relatively slow intramolecular degrees of freedom. From deuteron solid echo spectra this process is identified as a uniaxial large amplitude motion of the phenyl group which exhibits a broad distribution of correlation times.

The results of the analysis indicate a strong signal, with a confidence level of approximately $5σ$, for the presence of an excited electron with a mass of $308\pm 14$ GeV, and a deviation from a point-like behavior of the charge distribution of the electron. The radius of this deviation is $1.57\pm0.07\times 10^{-17}$ cm, which can be interpreted as the size of the electron.

description: Homework in introductory physics represents an important part of a student's learning experience; therefore choosing the manner in which homework is presented merits investigation. We performed three rounds of clinical trials comparing the effects of mastery-style homework vs traditional-style homework with students in both algebra-based and calculus-based introductory mechanics. Results indicate a benefit from mastery-style over traditional-style homework, principally for weaker students who are less familiar with the material being covered and on questions that are nearer transfer to the study materials.

description: Floriculture is the newest of Ethiopia"s export industries, having grown very rapidly over the past years to become the country"s fourth largest export industry. The Ethiopian floriculture industry began in the 1980s when state-owned farms started exporting cut flowers to Europe. An investors and managers which dealing with several problems resulting in failures of this investment; this study was carried out to identify and understand the underlying causes of floriculture investment failure. The main instrument of the study was interview and questionnaire which is supported with secondary source of data. It is concluded that the main cause for failure of floriculture investment in Ethiopia is poor management i.e. poor business planning, poor marketing management, poor financial management and poor human resource management followed by economic related and other causes like disaster, change, land fertility, joint ventures relation ship lack of quality packing industries, lack of efficient cargo freight and high transportation cost. Considerable suggestion and recommendation was given to overcome the failure causes floriculture investment in Ethiopia.

description: Data security and sharing remains nuisance among many applications like business data, medical data, banking data etc. In this research, block chain technology is built with encryption algorithm for high level data security in cloud storage. Medical data security seems critical aspect due to sensitivity of patient information. Unauthorized access of medical data creates major issue to patients. This article proposed block chain with hybrid encryption technique for securing medical data stored in block chain model at cloud storage. New Two fish encryption model is implemented based on RSA Multiple Precision Arithmetic. MPA works by using library concept. The objective of using this methodology is to enhance security performance with less execution time. Patient data is processed by encryption algorithm and stored at blockchain infrastructure using encrypted key. Access permission allows user to read or write the medical data attached in block chain framework. The performance of traditional cryptographic techniques is very less in providing security infrastructure.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this study is to look at the perception of the selected individuals that is gender and persons with disabilities towards the implementation of affirmative action in the education sector in Kampala-Uganda. This research used both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the policy contributions in the education sector. The instruments utilised to collect data were questionnaire, interview and secondary information sources. To report the findings, descriptive statistics were used. On the whole, the findings indicate that gender and persons with disabilities are still discriminated even though government states that affirmative policies have been implemented in the education sector. Hence both gender and persons with disabilities facing problems like women not being represented equally with men. Also persons with disabilities are not considered with facilities needed in the education sector and still discriminated. As a result, the study provides some recommendations aimed at redressing the situation where by the government has to put an independent ministry dealing with the marginalised groups so that it keeps on monitoring and evaluating these services. Also to make sure that all facilities are provided for gender and disabilities thus improve on the policy implementations of affirmative action in the education sector
Shock waves in dispersive hydrodynamics with non-convex dispersion

description: Dissipationless hydrodynamics regularized by dispersion describe a number of physical media including water waves, nonlinear optics, and Bose-Einstein condensates. As in the classical theory of hyperbolic equations where a non-convex flux leads to non-classical solution structures, a non-convex linear dispersion relation provides an intriguing dispersive hydrodynamic analogue. Here, the fifth order Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, also known as the Kawahara equation, a classical model for shallow water waves, is shown to be a universal model of Eulerian hydrodynamics with higher order dispersive effects. Utilizing asymptotic methods and numerical computations, this work classifies the long-time behavior of solutions for step-like initial data. For convex dispersion, the result is a dispersive shock wave (DSW), qualitatively and quantitatively bearing close resemblance to the KdV DSW. For non-convex dispersion, three distinct dynamic regimes are observed. For small jumps, a perturbed KdV DSW with positive polarity and orientation is generated, accompanied by small amplitude radiation from an embedded solitary wave leading edge, termed a radiating DSW or RDSW. For moderate jumps, a crossover regime is observed with waves propagating forward and backward from the sharp transition region. For jumps exceeding a critical threshold, a new type of DSW is observed we term a translating DSW or TDSW. The TDSW consists of a traveling wave that connects a partial, non-monotonic, negative solitary wave at the trailing edge to an interior nonlinear periodic wave. Its speed, a generalized Rankine-Hugoniot jump condition, is determined by the far-field structure of the traveling wave. The TDSW is resolved at the leading edge by a harmonic wavepacket moving with the linear group velocity. The non-classical TDSW exhibits features common to both dissipative and dispersive shock waves.

description: Spatiotemporal sculpturing of light pulse with ultimately sophisticated structures represents the holy grail of the human everlasting pursue of ultrafast information transmission and processing as well as ultra-intense energy concentration and extraction. It also holds the key to unlock new extraordinary fundamental physical effects. Traditionally, spatiotemporal light pulses are always treated as spatiotemporally separable wave packet as solution of the Maxwell's equations. In the past decade, however, more generalized forms of spatiotemporally nonseparable solution started to emerge with growing importance for their striking physical effects. This roadmap intends to highlight the recent advances in the creation and control of increasingly complex spatiotemporally sculptured pulses, from spatiotemporally separable to complex nonseparable states, with diverse geometric and topological structures, presenting a bird's eye viewpoint on the zoology of spatiotemporal light fields and the outlook of future trends and open challenges.

Victorian Era Ballet Performers and Gender Roles Exhibition

subject: Exhibition
subject: Victorian Era
subject: Gender Roles
subject: Curation

description: This exhibition examines nineteenth-century English ballerinas and the coinciding gendered themes of the era. My thesis is in the form of a traveling museum exhibition proposal on the professional lives of ballerinas during the Victorian Era in England. A "traveling" exhibition generally includes pieces from various collections. A traveling exhibition would allow a larger audience to enjoy and learn from the collection because it would be more mobile and accessible. This exhibit offers people a new way of looking at and experiencing Victorian ballet. Ballet is often associated with fashion, beauty, and effortlessness. While there are truths to these observations, ballet has a gritty side, especially when ballet first became popular in Great Britain. Viewers may be surprised by the poor working conditions of the corps de ballet and even the mistreatment of star ballerinas. Viewers should come away with their own observations about gender roles in Victorian England, the idea of ballerinas as celebrities, and ballet as an art form.
