The magnetic susceptibility of YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6+x}$ crystals: unusual Curie behavior and small contributions from charge density waves
Creators: name: Kokanović, I.
name: Cooper, J. R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report measurements of the magnetic susceptibility of twinned single crystals of YBa$_{2}$Cu$_{3}$O$_{6+x}$ from just above their superconducting transition temperatures to 300 K with magnetic fields of up to 5 T applied parallel and perpendicular to the CuO$_2$ planes at 7 values of $x$. Appropriate analysis allows the relatively small, but still important, Curie terms to be separated from other contributions to the susceptibility. Our data support a picture in which the Curie terms arise from oxygen disorder in the Cu-O chains. This agrees with published work on polycrystalline samples where the sample cooling rate was varied, but here we show that the Curie plots flatten out above 200 K. We identify small effects of charge density wave (CDW) instabilities in the temperature ($T$) derivative of the in-plane susceptibility $dχ_{ab}(T)/dT$ and discuss their $x$-dependence. For $x=$0.67 we make a detailed comparison with published high energy X-ray diffraction data using a minimal model involving Fermi arcs, thereby obtaining values for the CDW energy gap and the Helmholtz free energy in a coherence volume. At 80 and 100 K the latter is comparable with, or smaller than $k_BT$ respectively, highlighting the probable importance of thermal fluctuations. We note that the effect of the Lorentz force on charge carriers in the Fermi arcs could provide a simple mechanism for enhancing the CDWs in high magnetic fields, as suggested by recent experiments.

The Effect of Job Stress on Job Satisfaction: The Case of Brewery Factories in Addis Ababa
Creators: name: Bedru, Selamawit
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Job stress is considered as the harmful physical and emotional response that occurs when there is a poor match between job demand and capability, resource or need of the employee. Job satisfaction describes how comfortable an individual is with own job. This research was carried out to compute the effect of job stress on employee job satisfaction in two selected brewery factories (Heineken and BGI Ethiopia) in Addis Ababa. To achieve the objectives of this study, information was gathered through self-administered questionnaire from a sample of 273 respondents. These respondents were selected using random sampling technique. The data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, correlation, simple linear regression and multiple regression analysis. In particular, this study analyzes the effects of job stress on job satisfaction by using six stressors—work overload, role ambiguity, role conflict, physical environment, job autonomy and relationship at work. The results of this study indicate that role conflict, role ambiguity and work overload negatively affect job satisfaction whereas relationship at work and job autonomy positively affect job satisfaction the study also shows that physical environment has insignificant relationship with job satisfaction. Based on the findings of the study, some recommendations forwarded; only a single supervisor should give commands to the employees, Making clear employee's responsibility and giving adequate information concerning their role, Improving technology by using advance technology , Closer relationships among employees and granting high autonomy increases job satisfaction. Key words: Job Stress, Work Overload, Role Conflict, Role Ambiguity, Job Autonomy, Relationship at Work, Physical Environment, Job Satisfaction

description: Lake Balaton has undergone rapid eutrophication in the last decades causing dramatic deterioration in water quality. Although water quality has been successfully improved, significant algal blooms have been experienced over the past years again. Since the high level of phosphorus is primarily responsible for algal blooms, it is necessary to explore the status of the nutrient content of the lake sediment. In this study, a 100 m resolution map was created by the reanalysis of an archive database (with measured ammonium-lactate extracted phosphorus concentration) using the regression kriging method with topography, hydrodynamics and vegetation auxiliary variables. The regression model with 0.23 R2 does not indicate a strong correlation with the auxiliary variables. However, based on the result of the validation, the accuracy of the final map after kriging was high (R2=0.81). The reanalysis of soluble phosphorus should represent a significant input to Lake Balaton's water quality management planning.

description: Many atmospheres (cool stars, brown dwarfs, giant planets, extrasolar planets) are predominately composed of molecular hydrogen and helium. H$_2{}^{16}$O is one of the best measured molecules in extrasolar planetary atmospheres to date and a major compound in the atmospheres of brown-dwarfs and oxygen-rich cool stars, yet the scope of experimental and theoretical studies on the pressure broadening of water vapour lines by collision with hydrogen and helium remains limited. Theoretical H$_2$- and He-broadening parameters of water vapour lines (rotational quantum number $J$ up to 50) are obtained for temperatures in the range 300 - 2000 K. Two approaches for calculation of line widths were used: (i) the averaged energy difference method and (ii) the empirical expression for $J$\p $J$\pp-dependence. Voigt profiles based on these widths and the BT2 line list are used to generate high resolution ($Δ\tildeν$ = 0.01 \cm) pressure broadened cross sections for a fixed range of temperatures and pressures between 300 - 2000 K and 0.001 - 10 bar. An interpolation procedure which can be used to determine cross sections at intermediate temperature and pressure is described. Pressure broadening parameters and cross sections are presented in new ExoMol format.

Revolutionizing Galactic Dynamics: The Time Dilation Gradient Model's Application to M87 and Pulsars
Creators: name: Rouse, Johnny
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The concept of dark matter has long been a cornerstone in explaining gravitational anomalies in galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Despite its widespread acceptance, dark matter remains elusive as it has not been directly detected and its nature is still unknown. In this paper, we introduce the Time Dilation Gradient (TDG) model as an alternative framework for understanding these gravitational anomalies. The TDG model leverages time dilation effects from both General Relativity (GR) and Special Relativity (SR) to account for the observed gravitational influences traditionally attributed to dark matter. By conceptualizing space-time as a fluid rather than a fabric, the TDG model enhances gravitational effects through time dilation gradients, providing a novel perspective on galactic dynamics. We apply this model to pulsar data and the galaxy M87, demonstrating its robustness and potential as a superior alternative to existing dark matter models.

description: The Time Dilation Gradient (TDG) model, previously introduced as an alternative to dark matter in explaining gravitational anomalies within galaxies, is expanded in this paper to offer a unified framework for understanding both dark matter and dark energy. At the heart of this framework is the Equivalent Time Boundary (ETB), a critical threshold within the universe where gravitational entanglement transitions to a normalization process that drives cosmic expansion. This paper explores how the ETB serves as the ”God Time” or the balancing point, defining regions where dark matter predominates within anddark energy dominates beyond. By examining ultra-diffuse galaxies like DF2 and massive systems like M87, we demonstrate how the TDG model addresses observed discrepancies in dark matter and reconciles the Hubble constant discrepancy. This paper not only builds on previous work by incorporating new theoretical insights but also suggests observational strategies to test these predictions, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of cosmic structure and evolution.

description: We present a geomorphological map of the Cilo Mountain range located in southeast Turkey that illustrates the recent evolution of the second-most glacierized area of Turkey. The map was produced by the manual delineating of landforms from highresolution satellite imagery (Pleiades and Google EarthTM images). Cilo Mountain glaciation played a crucial role in the evolution of the local physical landscape and even today glaciers are significant features. After the termination of Little Ice Age, deglaciation promoted the onset of multiple and intense surface processes; widespread slope instabilities, due to permafrost melting and frost weathering processes, are still the most active processes. Such processes are further promoted by the scarcity of vegetation. The occurrence of several proglacial lakes significantly contributes to the reduction of sediment output from glaciated watersheds, influencing the evolution of proglacial plains and resulting in a variety of landforms that we identified and described in this work.

Cycles of invisibility: The limits of transparency in dealing with scientific misconduct

description: Sanctions for plagiarism, falsification and fabrication in research are primarily symbolic. This paper investigates sanctions for scientific misconduct and their preceding investigation processes as visible and legitimate symbols. Using three different data sources (retraction notices, expert interviews, and a survey of scientists), we show that sanctions for scientific misconduct operate within a cycle of visibility, in which sanctions are highly visible, while investigation and decision-making procedures remain mostly invisible. This corresponds to high levels of acceptance of sanctions in the scientific community, but a low acceptance of the respective authorities. Such a punitiveness in turn exacerbates confidentiality concerns, so that authorities become even more secretive. We argue that punitiveness towards scientific misconduct is driven by such a cycle of invisibility.
Micropatterned Co-cultures of the Liver and the Heart for Drug Screening and Cell Therapy
Creators: name: Brown, Grace E
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: In vivo animal studies are useful for evaluating a small number of compounds during the later stages of preclinical development. In comparison, tissue engineering allows for the ability to obtain high throughput and human relevant data utilizing small amounts of cellular material. Two main organs of interest remain the liver and heart, not only because they are the leading cause of drugs failing in clinical trials due to drug induced liver injury (DILI) or cardiotoxicity concerns, but also because they are key contributors to global diseases including atrial fibrillation (AF) and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) expansion through extramedullary hematopoiesis (EmH). Optimal platforms should maintain stable functionality, allow for genetic diversity, and remain human relevant. However, conventional hepatocyte cultures decline in phenotype and cardiomyocytes do not form optimal cell-cell junctions, leading to random beating. Thus, there remains a need to further improve these platforms. To this end, we determined two techniques useful for stabilizing key cell types, namely micropatterning to improve homotypic interactions and coculture with specific fibroblast populations. To begin, current in vitro platforms lack the ability to investigate genetic variation in the human population as donor tissue is limited. Advances in mouse genetics have been shown to recapitulate human toxicity for certain drug classes; therefore, we aim to create a robust mouse liver platform utilizing the above-mentioned techniques to maintain hepatocyte functionality, which can also be utilized prior to in vivo animal studies to verify human relevance in drug metabolism. For this purpose, a platform utilizing human hepatocytes and portal fibroblasts was created to determine if a stable hepatocyte phenotype can be achieved with liver specific fibroblasts. We will then utilize these platforms to study HSC expansion in a liver microenvironment to replicate key factors of EmH. Finally, we will utilize iPSC-derived atrial cardiomyocytes (iPSC-aCMs) as a genetically diverse and patient specific cell source for the study of genetic variation in AF by improving maturation through micropatterning and coculture with cardiac fibroblasts. Ultimately, the micropatterned coculture liver and atrial cardiac platforms developed in this thesis can be used to study novel therapeutics and allow for fundamental investigations into disease mechanisms.

The research findings have shown that CBE have facing different problems from its current performance management system. Current performance management system of Commercial bank of Ethiopia lack effective goal communication. Lack of individual and organizational goals alignment, unfair job rotation, tendency of giving unbalanced targets, unclear understanding of vision and strategy of the bank, poor translation of vision and strategy are problems underlying PMS implementation of the bank. There is disintegration of PMS with other HR functions, poor HRM focus for PMS, policy and procedures are not conducive and PM outcomes contribute less for decision making. This research shows that the performance management practice of Commercial bank of Ethiopia didn't communicate its goals to performers effectively. Again PMS lacks alignment with bank's business strategy, PMS is not integrated with other HR functions, appropriate policies and procedures are not developed, and outcomes of PM have no significance contribution for decision making. And also HRM of the bank didn't give enough attention for PMS. On the basis of the findings, the researcher recommended that the bank has to be making sure that goals are effectively communicated, avoid problems underline PMS, align PMS with business strategy, integrate PMS with other HR functions, give strategic concern for PMS, develop job conducive policy and procedures, and use PM outcomes for decision making. Key words: Performance Management System, Human Resource Management, Commercial Bank of Ethiopia.

description: We derive asymptotic freedom and the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills $β$-function using the renormalization group procedure for effective particles. In this procedure, the concept of effective particles of size $s$ is introduced. Effective particles in the Fock space build eigenstates of the effective Hamiltonian $H_s$, which is a matrix written in a basis that depend on the scale (or size) parameter $s$. The effective Hamiltonians $H_s$ and the (regularized) canonical Hamiltonian $H_{0}$ are related by a similarity transformation. We calculate the effective Hamiltonian by solving its renormalization-group equation perturbatively up to third order and calculate the running coupling from the three-gluon-vertex function in the effective Hamiltonian operator.

description: From the electrical resistivity and ac susceptibility measurements down to $T$ = 40 mK, a rich temperature-field phase diagram has been constructed for the geometrically frustrated heavy-fermion compound CePdAl. In the limit of zero temperature, the field-induced suppression of the antiferromagnetism in this compound results in a sequence of phase transitions/corssovers, rather than a single critical point, in a critical region of field 3$-$5 T. In the lowest temperature region, a power-law description of the temperature-dependent resistivity yields $A$$\cdot$$T^n$ with $n$$>$2 for all applied fields. However, a quadratic-in-temperature resistivity term can be extracted when assuming an additional electron scattering channel from magnon-like excitations, with $A$ diverging upon approaching the critical regime. Our observations suggest CePdAl to be a new playground for exotic physics arising from the competition between Kondo screening and geometrical frustration.

description: The Piuro 1618 landslide is renowned as one of the most catastrophic historical events of the Central Alps. The landscape of the Bregaglia Valley has been successively modified to such an extent to make it difficult to ascertain the source of the landslide, the extent of its deposits and the setting of the ancient village. This study focuses on the identification of the source area of the landslide, its dynamics, the extent of its deposits and the estimation of the involved volumes. The geological map here proposed permitted to reconstruct the relationships between the pre-1618 setting, the 1618 restructuration of the landscape and the post-event changes that occurred owing to erosion by the trunk river, deposition of debris flow fans and slope dynamics. The paper shows how geological mapping may help to unravel landscape evolution of an Alpine valley even at the high-resolution required by historical and archaeological studies.
The Role of Export Service Quality on Improving the Level of Customer Satisfaction of Exporters: The Case of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia
Creators: name: W/Senbet, Sahlemariam
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: The customer's standard of living and consciousness is demanding quality of service. Service quality is mandatory to provide added value to retain and make customers loyal. This research project paper focuses on the export service quality of Commercial Bank of Ethiopia /CBE/. The main objective of the study is to find out the impact of service quality to the level of exporter's satisfaction. To this end, it assesses and measures export customer expectation and what they actually perceive which is crucial for the bank to point out their needs and satisfy them accordingly. The study has analyzed the service quality which has a great impact on exporter's satisfaction using SERVQUAL model which has five dimensions (tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy). In doing so the study used the quantitative method of data collection and analysis to identify and explain the gaps. To collect the primary data, survey questionnaire has been administered on the export customers of CBE. The results show that the assurance dimension is the most important, while tangible is the least important factor of quality service for both expectation and perception of the export customers. The least gap is on empathy with mean score of -0.12 and the highest gap is on tangible with a mean score of - 0.32. The overall mean gap score of perception and expectation is -0.23. With this finding, the study concluded that expectation level is higher than the perception level which shows the export customer's dissatisfaction on the bank's service delivery. It also recommended the bank needs to improve its service quality in the entire dimensions, especially on those with higher gaps i.e. tangibles, reliability and responsiveness. Key words: Service quality, expectation, perception, satisfaction, SERVQUAL, CBE

description: This article presents the geomorphological mapping of the Kalamas river delta in Thesprotia (Epirus, north-western Greece). The Kalamas (also known as Thyamis) is one of the three main deltas of this region. Detailed mapping was performed through analysis of field geomorphological surveys and interpretation of old maps, satellite images, aerial photos, and DEM. The evolution of the delta as well as its current morphology derives from complex interactions between alluvial, marine dynamics and human activities. Several palaeo-channels have been identified, and the recent morphology of the delta has been altered by the construction of a dam and the canalization of the river during the second half of the twentieth century. The coastline is complex, and mainly consists of lagoons, sandy barriers and sand spits. Since part of the delta has been prograding for about fifty years, the current dynamics indicate erosion as well as progressive submersion of these low coasts.
