description: A novel solution with a solvent accumulation system is proposed to optimize the performance of a solvent-based CO2 capture system. The solvent accumulation system allows for flexible decoupled operation of the absorption and regeneration parts of the CO2 capture system. For power plant integrations, the proposed solution allows for a temporary increase in the power delivery, through reductions in the reboiler duty. This additional power delivery may be strategically fitted for periods with high energy costs to maximize income. Additionally, for industrial plants with fluctuating gas feeds with variable amounts of CO2, the proposed solution allows for a relatively lower CAPEX capture facility by utilizing the solvent accumulator in periods with peak gas feeds.

description: A proof of existence, uniqueness and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equations is an actual problem, which solution is important for different branches of science. The subject of this study is obtaining the smooth and unique solutions of the three-dimension Stokes-Navier equations for the initial and boundary value problem. The analysis shows that there exist no viscous solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions. The reason is the insufficient capability of the divergence-free velocity field. It is necessary to modify the Navier-Stokes equations for obtaining the desirable solutions. The modified equations describe a three-dimension flow of incompressible fluid which sticks to a body surface. The equation solutions show the resonant blowup of the laminar flow, laminar-turbulent transition, the fluid detachment that opens the way to solve the magnetic dynamo problem.

The Impact of Fiscal Decentralization on Education and Health Outcomes in Ethiopia: A Regional Panel Data Analysis
Creators: name: Weldemariam, Mesele
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: Fiscal decentralization has formed an important component of recent institutional innovation, being widely adopted in both developing and developed countries. It has become a major policy initiative to achieve equity, efficiency, and accountability in the development efforts of many countries. But surprisingly, there is little agreement in the empirical literature in its effects on a number of outcomes. Accordingly, this paper aims to evaluate the effects of such kind of decentralization on basic education and health outcomes in Ethiopia, which undertook a massive decentralization of fiscal resources to regions in 1994/95 and to districts in 2002/03. We estimate the impact of this policy by employing a regional panel data set collected from nine regions and two administrative cities. The results suggest that although the decentralization has been characterized by some kind of vertical and horizontal fiscal imbalances, it has had a significant effect on increasing public primary gross enrollment and completion rates; and on the selected health outcomes too. The results are also robust to the way fiscal decentralization is measured. Moreover, fiscal decentralization has achieved a satisfactory equity in terms of both equality of opportunity and inter-regional equity by reducing disparity in access to basic social services between previously underserved and better-off regions, suggesting that fiscal decentralization has been a pro-poor policy. Thus, the study urges policy makers and development agencies to close the existing fiscal gaps, possibly via fiscal equalization approach and/or relaxing some taxes to lower tiers of government, for better development outcomes at the grassroots level.

description: Solanum nigrum complex is a group of plant species used as indigenous vegetables but also as traditional medicinal plants in Kenya and other parts of the world. In Kenya, just like in most African countries, both the unripe fruits and leaves are used to cure different ailments. This vegetable is said to improve the CD4 count in HIV patients and all HIV patients are encouraged to take it as part of their diet. Despite that high value, African nightshade is a neglected crop. Up to now the farmers exploit traditional landraces and accessions. For development of improved African S. nigrum varieties, knowledge is necessary about the genetic structure of the local African nightshade accessions. Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique was performed to discriminate accessions from the Western region of Kenya. Production of haploid plants of the S. nigrum complex and subsequent chromsome doubling is a promising tool to obtain pure inbred lines in a short time. Therefore, in this study, anthers of S. nigrum were cultivated in vitro. It was observed that the microspores underwent the first divisions and calluses were formed.

description: Climate change will turn how we understand, feel, and design cities. Cities are the stage and a key actor to imagine and realise a resilient present how we live and work together. The aim to transform Europe into the first climate-neutral continent will need inventive design for living spaces—that combines technology with arts, and that enhances new economic and social opportunities. The initiative New European Bauhaus calls urbanism and architecture to link, combine, and accelerate with other disciplines, other creatives, and with active citizens to set up a cultural project for Europe as part of the Green Deal. The creative research exercise of NEW BAUHAUS CITY responds to this call through setting cities at the core—as places where a multitude of phenomena occur at the same time, where people, space, flows, and ideas interact, where new quality of life can be imagined and achieved.

The jamming transition in high dimension: an analytical study of the TAP equations and the effective thermodynamic potential

description: We present a parallel derivation of the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer (TAP) equations and of an effective potential for the negative perceptron and soft sphere models in high dimension. Both models are continuous constrained satisfaction problems with a critical jamming transition characterized by the same exponents. Our analysis reveals that a power expansion of the potential up to the second order represents a successful framework to approach the jamming line from the SAT phase (the region of the phase diagram where at least one configuration verifies all the constraints), where the ground-state energy is zero. An interesting outcome is that close to jamming the effective thermodynamic potential has a logarithmic contribution, which turns out to be dominant in a proper scaling regime. Our approach is quite general and can be directly applied to other interesting models. Finally, we study the spectrum of small harmonic fluctuations in the SAT phase recovering the typical scaling $D(ω) \sim ω^2$ below the cutoff frequency but a different behavior characterized by a non-trivial exponent above it.

Creators: name: Mulualem, Worku
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Banking industry is one of the critical economic institutions in the economic development of a country. However, the majority of Ethiopians' do not have access to the banking services. Even most of the existing banks operate in cities and towns where significant customers exist to secure financial viability since all commercial banks operate for profit. Thanks to the advancement of information and communications technology in the banking sector commercial banks can provide banking services through mobile banking technology. However, in spite of the implementation of mobile banking technology in Ethiopia through commercial Banks the numbers of users of the services are very small as compared to other countries like Kenya. This research paper aims to understand the factors that affect the adoption of mobile banking technology in the case of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Addis Ababa city customers using technology acceptance model developed by Davis with additional variable namely perceived risk. Understanding the factors that will affect customers' adoption behavior of mobile banking will help the commercial Bank of Ethiopia's Effort to increase the penetration and growth of mobile banking service. To address the research objective 400 sample customers are selected based on purposive and convenient sampling method and questionnaire is distributed from which 294 sample respondents replied appropriately to the questionnaire. Data gathered are analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, mode, median and standard deviation. Besides binary logistics regression analysis is conducted to understand the relationship of mobile banking adoption and perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived risk. As result the study found out that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have positive relationship with the adoption of mobile banking whereas perceived risk has negative relationship with the adoption of mobile banking. Key words: TAM, Mobile Banking, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived risk

description: Opher et al. (2015), Drake et al. (2015) have shown that the heliospheric magnetic field results in formation of two-jet structure of the solar wind flow in the inner heliosheath, i.e. in the subsonic region between the heliospheric termination shock and the heliopause. In this scenario the heliopause has a tube-like topology as compared with a sheet-like topology in the most models of the global heliosphere (e.g. Izmodenov and Alexashov, 2015). In this paper we explore the two-jet scenario for a simplified astrosphere in which 1) the star is at rest with respect to the circumstellar medium, 2) radial magnetic field is neglected as compared with azimuthal component, 3) the stellar wind outflow is assumed to be hypersonic (both the Mach number and the Alfvénic Mach number are much greater than unity at the inflow boundary). We have shown that the problem can be formulated in dimensionless form, in which the solution depends only on one dimensionless parameter epsilon that is reciprocal of the Alfvénic Mach number at the inflow boundary. This parameter is proportional to stellar magnetic field. We present the numerical solution of the problem for various values of epsilon. Three first integrals of the governing ideal MHD equations are presented, and we make use of them in order to get the plasma distribution in the jets. Simple relations between distances to the termination shock, astropause and the size of the jet are established. These relations allow us to determine the stellar magnetic field from the geometrical pattern of the jet-like astrosphere.

Redemption of the Progressive Dystopia — Failed Renewals of the Socialist Immanence
Creators: name: Jiahao Cao
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Socialism
subject: East Germany
subject: 1989

description: This essay offers a theoretically informed reinterpretation of the last months of SED leadership after the internal replacement of long-serving party secretary Erich Honecker and before the first free election in February 1990. The focus lies on the party’s efforts of late reform to save its project in face of the rapidly increasing disinterest of the people to engage with these reforms in a positive way. The point of the exercise is the old hermeneutic precept that cultures need to be understood on their own terms, from within themselves, and this must include attention to goals, values, and ideals developed from within that various actors try to realize. Socialism sees itself in terms of totality that one can only wholly accept or wholly reject.

description: Motivated by trapping and cooling experiments with non-spherical nanoparticles, we discuss how their combined rotational and translational quantum state is affected by the interaction with a gaseous environment. Based on the quantum master equation in terms of orientation-dependent scattering amplitudes, we evaluate the localization rate for gas collisions off an anisotropic van der Waals-type potential and for photon scattering off an anisotropic dielectric. We also show how pure angular momentum diffusion arises from these open quantum dynamics in the limit of weak anisotropies.

description: We report on the deceleration of a beam of SrF molecules from 290 to 120~m/s. Following supersonic expansion, the molecules in the $X^2Σ$ ($v=0$, $N=1$) low-field seeking states are trapped by the moving potential wells of a traveling-wave Stark decelerator. With a deceleration strength of 9.6 km/s$^2$ we have demonstrated the removal of 85 % of the initial kinetic energy in a 4 meter long modular decelerator. The absolute amount of kinetic energy removed is a factor 1.5 higher compared to previous Stark deceleration experiments. The demonstrated decelerator provides a novel tool for the creation of highly collimated and slow beams of heavy diatomic molecules, which serve as a good starting point for high-precision tests of fundamental physics.

Effectiveness of Foreign Aid in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Less Aggregated Analysis
Creators: name: Abda, Hassen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2008

description: Inspired by the contradicting findings of studies on aid effectiveness and the recently emerging dissatisfaction of scholars with the methodologies of earlier works, this study has taken up the examination of the effectiveness of bilateral and multilateral aids on economic growth. To this end, the estimation technique of Difference-GMM – along with other techniques for comparison – has been applied to a panel data from 42 Sub-Saharan African countries for the years 1980 through 2007. For the data at hand, no evidence is found for the – conditional or unconditional – effectiveness of both kinds of aid. This result is robust to the alternatives of using the augmented Solow type growth models and the 'modern' models which emphasize the roles of institutional, policy and geographical factors at explaining growth differences. Bilateral aid on its own or in an interaction with policy is ineffective at enhancing economic growth, regardless of whether it is measured relative to the recipients GDP or in per capita terms. The same holds for multilateral aid. The concluding point of this study which says that both bilateral and multilateral aids are ineffective at influencing economic growth is confined to the data at hand and thus gives no evidence about the effectiveness of the recently emerging aid modalities. Research on aid effectiveness remains to be extended along high level of disaggregating aid and testing for the effectiveness of the new approaches of delivering aid which are argued to possess elements of better government accountability, better transparency and better recipient-ownership.

description: We consider a scenario of Low Scale Seesaw where the masses of its heavy Majorana neutrinos are arranged in a pattern of three pairs of quasi degenerate ones, in the range of O(1-6 GeV). Since they can violate lepton number by two units, they contribute to rare decays of Ds and Bc mesons, providing, besides, conditions for maximal CP violation. We found that new phenomenology is possible depending on how many of on-shell pairs mediate these decays. In particular, we present new constraints on muon-heavy neutrinos mixing parameters.

description: An ellipsoid, the simplest non-spherical shape, has been extensively used as models for elongated building blocks for a wide spectrum of molecular, colloidal and granular systems. Yet the densest packing of congruent hard ellipsoids, which is intimately related to the high-density phase of many condensed matter systems, is still an open problem. We discover a novel dense crystalline packing of ellipsoids containing 24 particles with a quasi-square-triangular (SQ-TR) tiling arrangement, whose packing density ϕ exceeds that of the SM2 crystal for aspect ratios α in (1.365, 1.5625), attaining a maximal ϕ about 0.75806 at α = 93/64. We show that SQ-TR phase is thermodynamically stable at high densities over the aforementioned α range and report a novel phase diagram for self-dual ellipsoids. The discovery of SQ-TR crystal suggests novel organizing principles for non-spherical particles and self-assembly of colloidal systems.

Data Collection Optimization for UAV-Assisted Wireless Sensor Networks
Creators: name: Chen, Mengyu
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2023

description: The last decade witnessed rapid advancement of digital technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), having enormous applications in various domains. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) play a central role in the context of IoT for providing a massive amount of data captured by ubiquitous sensors. Thus, data collection becomes crucial to feed fresh data into IoT services while avoiding data overwritten due to limited storage capacities of IoT sensors. With high agility, mobility and flexibility, the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have recently received considerable attention for data collection in WSNs. In this thesis, we investigated novel problems for optimizing the data collection efficiency in UAV-assisted WSNs. We conducted studies to maximize data collection volume via UAV hovering duration allocation. Furthermore, we studied the maximization of the data collection utility by jointly considering the UAV hovering location recognition and the UAV hovering duration allocation. We also investigated the design for UAV data collection trajectory, with the consideration of the UAV energy consumption on both hovering and mechanical movement, where the variation of the data transmission rate is also considered. We firstly address the UAV hovering duration allocation problem, which is a fundamental but crucial issue for data collection optimization. For WSNs with a special deployment, we develop an optimal algorithm which guarantees the maximized volume of collected data. For general cases, we devise an efficient algorithm with a provable approximation ratio, which significantly improves the data collection efficiency. We secondly deal with the UAV hovering location identification problem. It is widely considered to be intractable to precisely determine the UAV's hovering locations from infinitely many potential ones jointly with the data collection. Most existing studies either neglect this critical issue or discretize the UAV serving area into small regions with a given size, which results in the inevitable utility loss of data collection. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel algorithm to precisely determine the UAV's potential hovering locations and devise an efficient approximation algorithm with guaranteed data collection performance. We thirdly explore the UAV traveling trajectory designing problem, which focuses on both the hovering location identification of the UAV and the UAV traveling path designing for improving data collection efficiency in WSNs. We consider the energy consumption of the UAV on both hovering and mechanical movement together with the variation of sensors' data transmission rate, and develop a promising algorithm to find a closed UAV data collection tour for maximizing the data collection volume. We finally evaluate the performance of all proposed algorithms in this thesis through experimental simulations. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms significantly outperform existing algorithms.

description: Although surveys of infall motions in dense cores have been carried out for years, few surveys have focused on mapping infall across cores using multiple spectral line observations. To fill this gap, we present IRAM 30-m Telescope maps of N2H+(1-0), DCO+(2-1), DCO+(3-2), and HCO+(3-2) emission towards two prestellar cores (L492 and L694-2) and one protostellar core (L1521F). We find that the measured infall velocity varies with position across each core and choice of molecular line, likely as a result of radial variations in core chemistry and dynamics. Line-of-sight infall speeds estimated from DCO+(2-1) line profiles can decrease by 40-50 m/s when observing at a radial offset >= 0.04 pc from the core's dust continuum emission peak. Median infall speeds calculated from all observed positions across a core can also vary by as much as 65 m/s depending on the transition. These results show that while single-pointing, single-transition surveys of core infall velocities may be good indicators of whether a core is either contracting or expanding, the magnitude of the velocities they measure are significantly impacted by the choice of molecular line, proximity to the core center, and core evolutionary state.

Year: 2017

description: Ethiopian airlines is getting its part and component requirement through component exchange program service providers. However, due to lack of integration among stakeholders and poor execution of component exchange program agreement Ethiopian airlines being paying hundred thousands of dollars. Consequently, the objective of this research is to identify and examine the in component exchange program sourcing and to draw their effect on the performance of outbound logistics. A lot of literatures were reviewed empirically to produce a set of concepts and factors about sourcing and logistics integration and its effect on the performance of outbound logistics. From the total of 180 populations 153 participants selected and a total of 153 questionnaires were distributed to Aircraft mechanics, Procurement and Logistics officers, and section team leaders. The raw data captured by questionnaire in word format were then converted into statistical software package for Social Science version 10 and analyzed quantitatively. The research finding shows despite the fact that component exchange program sourcing strategy is one of the best sourcing strategy in aviation industry, there is a significant disintegration between sourcing and logistics department which result poor execution. It also disclosed that the 7 days agreed lead time for core return and different terms and conditions stipulated on the agreement doesn't consider the competency and capability of outbound logistics section. To bring the required level of operational efficiency all component exchange program stakeholders should work together. In particular utmost collaboration and integration required among sourcing and logistics section from the inception of component exchange program agreement through execution

description: In the search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of $^{136}$Xe, a high pressure xenon time projection chamber (HPXe-TPC) has two advantages over liquid xenon TPCs: a better energy resolution and the access to topological features, which may provide extra discrimination from background events. The PandaX-III experiment has recently proposed a 200 kg HPXe-TPC based on Micromegas readout planes, to be located at the Jinping Underground Laboratory in China. Its detection concept is based on two results obtained within the T-REX project: Micromegas readouts can be built with extremely low levels of radioactivity; and the operation in xenon-trimethylamine at 10 bar in realistic experimental conditions has proven an energy resolution of 3% FWHM at the region of interest. In this work, two discrimination methods are applied to simulated signal and background data in a generic 200 kg HPXe-TPC, based on two well-known algorithms of graph theory: the identification of connections and the search for the longest path. Rejection factors greater than 100 are obtained for small pixel sizes and a signal efficiency of 40%. Moreover, a new observable (the blob charge density) rejects better surface contaminations, which makes the use of a trigger signal ($T_0$) not imperative in this experiment.

Supply Chain Management Practices and Company competitiveness. The case of BLU Mineral Water Factory
Creators: name: Bahiru, Getachew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Effective Supply Chain Management has become a potentially valuable way of securing competitive advantage since competition is no longer between organizations, but among supply chains. This research conceptualizes and develops four dimensions of Supply Chain Management practice (strategic supplier partnership, customer relationship, level of information sharing and Internal Lean Practice) and tests the relationships between Supply Chain Management practices and competitiveness. Data for the study were collected from 50 employees' of Blu Mineral water Bottling Factory Data collected through questionnaires were analyzed through descriptive statistics Pearson correlation and regression analysis technique to show the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable by using SPSS software version 20.0. The relationships proposed in the framework were tested using Pearson correlation, and the causal relations were analyzed using regression analysis. From the result of the analysis it is concluded that there is weak practice of SCM functions and found positive, strong relationship between Supply Chain Management practices and Competitive Advantage. As the result reviled that there is weak SCM practices in the case Factory, it should improve the practices in all dimensions to capture the necessary competitive advantage and the findings of this research were similar to former researches

General Relativity from Three-Forms in Seven Dimensions

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: We consider a certain theory of 3-forms in 7 dimensions, and study its dimensional reduction to 4D, compactifying the 7-dimensional manifold on the 3-sphere of a fixed radius. We show that the resulting 4D theory is General Relativity (GR) in Plebanski formulation, modulo corrections that are negligible for curvatures smaller than Planckian. Possibly the most interesting point of this construction is that the dimensionally reduced theory is GR with a non-zero cosmological constant, and the value of the cosmological constant is directly related to the size of S^3. Realistic values of Lambda correspond to S^3 of Planck size.

The Current Account – Budget Deficits Link in Sub-Saharan Africa Countries: Panel VAR Modeling Approach
Creators: name: Azene, Abebe
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2008

description: Many economists have argued that prolonged fiscal expansions contribute to current account imbalances. The purpose of this paper is to explore this phenomenon in the case of Sub-Saharan Africa countries during the period 1980 to 2007. In the framework of panel cointegration test, panel VAR Granger Causality analysis and a reduced-form consumption function, the paper evaluates the validity of the conventional (Keynesian) view and the Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis in Sub-Saharan Africa economies. The major findings of this study are: First, as a priori expectation, a unidirectional causality that runs from current account deficits to budget deficits (termed as current account targeting by Summers (1988)) has been found for oil-importing Sub-Saharan Africa countries. In these countries exchange rate is found to be the main mediating variable in linking the two deficits. Second, for oil-exporting countries, while the findings from Granger causality test is in accordance with the Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis, the restriction test from the estimation result of the reduced-form consumption function shows rejection of the pure Equivalence Hypothesis. One line of argument for the acceptance of the Keynesian Proposition for oil-exporting countries is that a rising consumption (both private and government) fueled by rising oil revenues eventually leads to current account deterioration. A policy implication resulting from these findings is that managing the current account deficit as well as the debt burden offers a scope for improvement in the budget deficits

Work Overload and Job Satisfaction: in Public Service Organizations (Addis Ababa)
Creators: name: Miesho, Mulu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: This research investigates the state and relationship between work overload and job satisfaction in five selected public service organizations (Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation, Ethiopian Shipping and Logistics Services Enterprise, Ethiopian wholesale and Import Trade Enterprise, Industry Project Service Enterprise, and Public Procurement Services Enterprise), in Addis Ababa. Work overload is defined as "incompatibility between the work requirements and the amount of time and resources available to comply with requirements". Job satisfaction has been defined as "a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one's job or job experience". So as to achieve the objectives of this study, information was gathered through self administered questionnaire from a sample of 334 respondents. These respondents were selected using stratified sampling technique. The data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, and simple linear and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that, firefighting to be dominant indicator of work overload; whereas job pressure and, inadequate selection and training of personnel as major causes of work overload. The study also showed that, both the signs and causes of work overload could significantly and positively predict work overload. Employees were found to be most satisfied with relationships that they have with their co-workers, and least satisfied with the pay that they earn; and they enjoy average level of overall job satisfaction. The findings of the study further indicate that, the facets of job satisfaction may significantly and positively explain the variation in job satisfaction. Moreover, low, negative and statistically significant relationship was found between work overload and job satisfaction; and work overload could negatively and significantly predict the variation in job satisfaction. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher forwards some recommendations to the management of the service public organizations considered in this study.
