description: Compressed sensing has been discussed separately in spatial and temporal domains. Compressive holography has been introduced as a method that allows 3D tomographic reconstruction at different depths from a single 2D image. Coded exposure is a temporal compressed sensing method for high speed video acquisition. In this work, we combine compressive holography and coded exposure techniques and extend the discussion to 4D reconstruction in space and time from one coded captured image. In our prototype, digital in-line holography was used for imaging macroscopic, fast moving objects. The pixel-wise temporal modulation was implemented by a digital micromirror device. In this paper we demonstrate $10\times$ temporal super resolution with multiple depths recovery from a single image. Two examples are presented for the purpose of recording subtle vibrations and tracking small particles within 5 ms.

The Impact of Business Process Reengineering Implementation on the Human Resource Dimension: A Preliminary Assessment Based on the Experiences of Selected Public Institutions
Creators: name: Ziad, Abdurazak
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: This study is about the preliminary assessment of the perceived impact of Business Process Reengineering implementation on the human resource dimensions in selected public institutions. It is a survey research. The target population of the study was the employees of the selected institutions, namely Ministry of Capacity Building (MOCB) Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of Trade and Industry (MOTI) and Ethiopian Civil Service College (ECSC). A sample size of 70 out of 700 employees was taken. The relevant data was collected through survey questionnaire and random sampling technique was employed when distributing the survey questionnaires. Out of the 70 questionnaires distributed to the randomly selected employees, 55 were properly completed and returned. This represents a response rate of approximately 78.6% from the distributed questionnaires. The data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferences were made accordingly. Major findings revealed that the impact of BPR implementation in the selected organizations was negative in most core human resource dimensions (i.e. reward, promotion, work life, etc,), except empowerment and career development. Some recommendations that might enable BPR to be a reliable vehicle in the process of achieving effectiveness and efficiency in public institutions in the long run are presented.

description: The lattice thermal conductivity of thermoelectric material CuInTe2 is predicted using classical molecular dynamics simulations, where a simple but effective Morse-type interatomic potential is constructed by fitting first-principles total energy calculations. In a broad temperature range from 300 to 900 K, our simulated results agree well with those measured experimentally, as well as those obtained from phonon Boltzmann transport equation. By introducing the Cd impurity and Cu vacancy, the thermal conductivity of CuInTe2 can be effectively reduced to further enhance the thermoelectric performance of this chalcopyrite compound.

description: The Cabuérniga Fault System (CFS) extends for 150 km in E–W trend along the northern divide of the Cantabrian Mountains, near the Cantabrian Sea. This fault system was reactivated several times since the Paleozoic, and displays hydrothermal activity nowadays. We present here a detailed geological map of the whole CFS and six cross-sections distributed along strike, which allowed us to unravel the kinematic history of the individual fault segments comprising the CFS. The current CFS geometry mainly results from the reactivation of E–W Variscan thrusts and NW–SE Late-Variscan strike-slip faults during the Alpine Cycle. Reactivation took place in relation to both Permian and Mesozoic pre-orogenic extension and subsequent Cenozoic shortening. The eastern end of the CFS corresponds to a N–S structure arriving at the Cantabrian coast, while the western edge connects with the E–W trending Llanera fault, leading to an Alpine fault system extending 220 km.

description: Agriculture is a key element of Afghanistan’s economy and plays an essential role supporting the expanding population and urban development of Kabul, the country’s capital. Over the past decades the urban landscape has changed substantially and agricultural land use has shifted in its extent, location, and density. Identifying trends in the amount of agricultural area, as an indication of food production, is important for city planning and humanitarian efforts. While many studies have investigated Afghanistan's agriculture, most are conducted at scales that preclude their use for local-scale decision-making. This study quantifies agricultural extent across 32 years from 1988 to 2020 at local scale using simple and repeatable Landsat multispectral image analysis. The volume of data in time-series analysis complicatesvisualization of key findings and long-term trends. This study also explored visualization methods such as zonal mapping, animations, and the isolation of key themes in a 2D static map.

description: The variation of a stellar light curve owing to the rotational modulation by the magnetic features (starspots and faculae) on the star's surface can be used to investigate the magnetic properties of the host star. In this paper, we use the periodicity and magnitude of the light-curve variation, as two proxies, suggested by (He et al. 2015), to study the stellar magnetic properties for a large sample of G-type main sequence \emph{Kepler} targets, for which the rotation periods recently determined by (McQuillan et al. 2014). By analyzing the correlation between the two magnetic proxies, it is found that: (1) The two proxies are positively correlated for most of the stars in our sample, and the percentages of negative, zero, and positive correlation are $4.27\%$, $6.81\%$, and $88.91\%$, respectively; (2) Negative correlation stars cannot have large magnitude of light-curve variation; (3) with the increase of rotation period, the relative number of positive correlation stars decreases and the negative correlation one increases. These results indicate that the stars with shorter rotation period tend to have positive correlation between the two proxies, and a good portion of the positive correlation stars have larger magnitude of light-curve variation (and hence more intense magnetic activities) than the negative correlation stars.

The impact of NBE bills purchase on the profitability of private commercial banks: An Empirical Study on Ethiopian Private Commercial
Creators: name: Tesfaye, Memru
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of NBE bills purchase on the profitability of private commercial banks in Ethiopia by using panel data of sixteen private commercial banks with a total of 64 observations from year 2011 to2014. The study used quantitative research approach and secondary financial data are analyzed by using multiple linear regression models for the three bank profitability measures; Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), and Net Interest Margin (NIM). Regression model was applied to investigate the impact of Capital adequacy, NBE bills, liquidly & total loans to total asset. Growth rate on major bank profitability measures (i.e., (ROA), (ROE), and (NIM) separately). The study finds that exposure to government bill has moderate effect on banks profitability in the past years. However if the policy persist without amendment or phase out it will definitely create a significant negative impact on banks performance. On the other hand the bills seems contributed positively to perform via mopping up the excess liquidity holding of banks or to invest excess funds in earning government securities than the customary practices of holding liquid asset in zero earning account at the NBE. In addition, it instigated banks to some extent provide focus on other fee generating sources. The significant relation of the NIM with performance revealed that banks respond to the policy through adjusting their loan price in a way to compensate for the opportunity they lost. Consequently the banks cost related to bill purchase to some extent seems to be covered by borrowers but the increase in the rate of interest has not resulted in materialized high default risk. In general, the result of the study shows the effect of the policy measure is mitigated by the excess liquidity standing of banks during the policy formulation, the likely possibility to expand to other fee generating services, stable liability price and banks discretion to adjust their asset price. Nevertheless, the decline trend in the share of loans from the total asset could have negative effect on the long run which in fact to some extent will be moderated by the maturity of part (but significant sum) of the bills in few years time. The study focused on the historical impact of the bill measure: hence its long run effect requires further exploration.

description: The NRCS-CN method, integrated with GIS and remote sensing, can be used for estimating curve numbers (CN) and surface runoff in geohydrological systems. The study area is divided into 63 sub-basins, and the land use land cover (LULC)-hydrologic soil group (HSG) complex is identified for each sub-basin. The CN values for three antecedent soil moisture (AMC) conditions are calculated and corrected for surface slope variations. The surface runoff depth is determined using the rainfall data for 16 years (2005–2020). The average runoff depth and mean annual precipitation ranges from 444.50 to 1960.55 mm and 936.99 to 3520.55 mm, respectively. For all sub-basins, strong correlations between runoff depth and rainfall (R2 ≥ 0.8) as well as between simulated runoff and measured runoff (R2 ≥ 0.8) are observed. The Nash–Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE) values suggest that the model's efficiency is good to satisfactory.
A Comparative Study of Employees Performance Appraisal Practices and Problems in Ethiopian Higher Education Institutions: The Case of Addis Ababa University and St. Mary University College
Creators: name: Diriba, Chemeda
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2012

description: The present study aims at studying the practices and problems of performance appraisal in Ethiopian Higher Education Institutions: The case of Addis Ababa University and St. Mary University College. The reason for the study is the continuous complaints heard form internal and external customers of the AAU about the sluggish service of employees, and to make comparative analysis with that of SUC, if there is a one can learn from one another. The researcher employed simple random sampling techniques in selecting respondents, while informants were selected purposively for data generated through questionnaires and interviews conducted. As the findings of present study a show, PA is implemented in AAU at moderate level; while, it is implemented in the SUC relatively in a better way on the basis of the desired goals. However, the use of PA for motivational purposes is not at the desired level, and very low in AAU. Additionally, PA used by employees' close supervisors is not such a motivational approach. Rather, it consists of mixed interests which is vague, particularly to be used for the purposes of determining warnings, retentions or discharging low performing workers. The study reveals that such mixed interests rather discourage workers from competitive workings and creativities. Hence, the primary purposes of performance appraisal are missing its direction, which is creating competitive working systems and giving balanced rewards for workers for their contributions to an organization. In the study, performance appraisal is seen to be implemented in a biased manner based on proximity and mixed interests as mentioned before for punishing employees performing at the lowest status. Thus, in order to create competitive working conditions and systems of balanced benefits for employees, performance appraisal should be understood very well particularly by heads of human resources and supervisors; and, should be implemented in the desired way for the desired purposes.

description: Geotourism is a form of nature-oriented tourism devoted to the knowledge and understanding of landscape forms and geological processes; flora and fauna and cultural, historical and human heritage. The great geological and morphological variability of Avellino Province, also called Irpinia, in southern Italy makes this province of particular interest for geotourists. Irpinia has a unique set of geosites, sites of cultural interest, archaeological sites and natural parks. Additionally, since ancient times, it has been a transit route between the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas and, as in all countries of the Mediterranean area, it was dominated by different races, peoples and cultures that contributed to developing its cultural identity and heritage, including its food and wine. Indeed, some Irpinian products were already known and commercialised in Roman times, including wine and olive oil. On this basis, we propose a map showing the characteristics of Avellino Province, including sites of geological, historical-archaeological and cultural value. The map will contribute to a better understanding of this province from a geotourism perspective and might guide tourists through knowledge of Irpinia.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: This study aimed at comparing the performance of Private commercial banks in Ethiopia during pre and post Bill Periods. i.e 2008-2011 and 2012-2015 years. The study used quantitative research approach and secondary financial ratio analysis for six private commercial banks. Profitability performance, liquidity performance and asset quality performance of the banks were assessed to compare pre and post bill periods performance of the private banks. Purposive sampling was used to select samples from the total population. The study used trend analysis using graphs for each of the variables in the study to observe the trend on them throughout the observation period. A paired t- test is employed to test the hypothesis that the means of the two periods are same on the eight variables. As a result of hypothesis test it was found there is statistically significant difference between the two periods in respect to profitability measures of Return of Equity (ROE), Cost to Income(C/I) ratio, and Net interest margin (NIM). In addition statistically significant difference between the two periods is observed in the Liquidity measure of Liquid asset to deposit (LAD) ratio and asset quality measure of loan reserve to total loan (LRTL) ratio. The study reveal statistically insignificant difference between the two periods in respect to Return on Asset(ROA) and liquidity measure of Loan to Deposit(LD) ratio and Loan to total asset(LTA) ratios. Finally, the study had recommended on further research in bank performance and regulatory requirements in private banking business

Credit Reference Bureau Report and Lending Decision of private Commercial Bank in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Endalamahu, Sileshi
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: With the adoption of the Credit Reference Bureau regulation in Ethiopia in 2012, Commercial banks in Ethiopia have been mandated to share credit information with the CRBs in order to set up a database for all borrowers and enable checks and balances in the credit market. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the role of CRB on lending decision of private commercial banks in Ethiopia. Specifically, the study sought to examine the following research objectives: the registration process, the information collected from borrowers, the information update by other banks, the use of the credit information and the regulatory requirement. The study used a descriptive research design and adopted the mixed research approach. The study used questioner and interview as a data collection method. The target population was 128 employees working in private commercial banks as a credit analyst and credit officer and 6 directors and 7 division managers were participated in the interview. The sample size of the study was 97 employees and the study used convenience sampling technique to draw the sample responses of the questionnaires were analyzed, processed and tabulated by use of a computer Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23.0 program. The data collected was cleaned then coded and checked for any errors and omissions. Frequency tables and percentages were used to present the findings. The study found out that almost 100% agreed that registering in credit information system needs to get permission from the bureau, on average 70% of the respondent agreed that commercial banks use the credit information for lending decision, 58% of disagreed that the information collected from borrower are not accurate, 79.4% of the respondent agreed that banks update credit information of their borrowers continuously and almost 100% of the respondent agreed that the regulatory requirement meet by the banks. The study recommended that the credit reference bureau to upgrade the server, to use multiple sources to compiled the data, put stringent penalties for those who violates the directives, and also the study recommends the commercial bank management to use the credit history of the borrower to set interest rate.

description: We develop the methodology of positioning graph vertices relative to each other to solve the problem of determining isomorphism of two undirected graphs. Based on the position of the vertex in one of the graphs, it is determined the corresponding vertex in the other graph. For the selected vertex of the undirected graph, we define the neighborhoods of the vertices. Next, we construct the auxiliary directed graph, spawned by the selected vertex. The vertices of the digraph are positioned by special characteristics --- vectors, which locate each vertex of the digraph relative the found neighborhoods. This enabled to develop the algorithm for determining graph isomorphism, the runing time of which is equal to $O(n^4)$.

description: The moment conditions or estimating equations for instrumental variables quantile regression involve the discontinuous indicator function. We instead use smoothed estimating equations (SEE), with bandwidth $h$. We show that the mean squared error (MSE) of the vector of the SEE is minimized for some $h>0$, leading to smaller asymptotic MSE of the estimating equations and associated parameter estimators. The same MSE-optimal $h$ also minimizes the higher-order type I error of a SEE-based $χ^2$ test and increases size-adjusted power in large samples. Computation of the SEE estimator also becomes simpler and more reliable, especially with (more) endogenous regressors. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate all of these superior properties in finite samples, and we apply our estimator to JTPA data. Smoothing the estimating equations is not just a technical operation for establishing Edgeworth expansions and bootstrap refinements; it also brings the real benefits of having more precise estimators and more powerful tests. Code for the estimator, simulations, and empirical examples is available from the first author's website.

description: The cave map, as a result of mapping in limited cave spaces, is a specific cartographic product characterized by a high degree of cartographic abstraction and subjectivity of the cave features. Over the last decade, remote sensing methods have been increasingly used in cave mapping. Specifically, the laser scanning technology can effectively record the vastly fragmented interior of the cave at a high level of detail. The presented paper demonstrates a methodology of making the high-scale cave map from LiDAR point clouds. The innovativeness of the presented approach is in the use of highly detailed model of a cave floor derived from a point cloud as a base data layer for identification of the cave features. The main benefit of the final cave map is in the diminution of the authoŕs subjective perception during the cave mapping resulting in the generalization of the cave spaces geometry and cave features.

description: O projeto Nexus adotou uma abordagem participativa multiescala, combinando métodos qualitativos e quantitativos das ciências naturais e sociais para analisar a inter-relação e os desafios da produção agrícola, energética e do uso dos recursos hídricos na Caatinga e no Cerrado. Durante seus seis anos (2018-2024), o projeto envolveu mais de cem atores de diferentes setores e produziu diagnósticos e cenários sobre futuros sustentáveis para esses biomas. O Relatório de Diálogos Multiescala, disponível para download[1], detalha a metodologia e os resultados. Mais informações sobre o projeto podem ser consultadas em: https://nexus.ccst.inpe.br/.

A abordagem participativa partiu da metodologia 3H-CLD e revelou problemas interligados. Os principais desafios relatados englobam concentração fundiária, degradação ambiental e conflitos socioambientais. Dessa forma, os indicadores apresentados neste banco de dados visam representar quantitativamente esses desafios nas últimas décadas. Eles foram obtidos de fontes secundárias e espacializados para os biomas Cerrado e Caatinga, além da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio São Francisco e área de transposição.

A concentração fundiária é avaliada pelo índice de Gini da Estrutura Agrária (IBGE, 2006; 2017). A degradação ambiental é representada pelo desmatamento ocorrido entre 2000 e 2020 (PRODES-INPE, 2022). Já os conflitos socioambientais são analisados por meio do número de famílias afetadas por conflitos de terra e água, com dados referentes aos períodos de 2002-2011 e 2012-2021 (CPT, 2022).

description: This research aims to investigate factors affecting the performance of MSEs with a special emphasizes on textile and garment, food processing and wood and metal work sectors in Arada and Lideta sub-cities, Addis Ababa. For the sake of achieving the objectives of this study, questionnaires were analyzed using statistical analysis such as descriptive and inferential analyses. The information gleaned through questionnaire from a sample of 237 operators and face-to-face interviews were conducted with 20 operators of MSEs. The respondent operators were selected using stratified sampling technique. Besides, the interview questions were analyzed using descriptive narrations through concurrent triangulation strategy. The empirical study elicited eight major challenges which seem to affect performance of MSEs in sub-cities which include: inadequate finance, lack of working premises, marketing problems, inadequate infrastructures, poor management practices, and technological, entrepreneurial and politico-legal problems including bureaucratic bottlenecks system. The findings further indicate that, there exists linear and positive significant ranging from substantial to strong relationship was found between independent variables and dependent variable. Moreover, the selected independent variables may significantly explain the variations in the dependent variable at 1% level of significance. Based on findings, recommendations to government bodies, to operators of MSEs and suggestions for other researchers are forwarded. Key words: MSEs, performance, factors

description: This paper explores the thematic depth and narrative structure of Mo Yan's novel Red Sorghum, a seminal work in contemporary Chinese literature that intricately weaves elements of magical realism with historical and cultural narratives. Through the story of Jiu'er, a resilient and courageous woman, the novel portrays the brutal realities of rural China during the Japanese invasion of the 1930s. The use of red imagery, particularly the symbol of red sorghum, underscores the themes of love, resistance, and the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people. This analysis highlights how Mo Yan's narrative techniques and cultural references create a powerful and enduring portrayal of human nature amidst adversity.

description: The exponential parameterization of Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata mixing matrix for neutrino is used for comparative analysis of different neutrino mixing data. The UPMNS matrix is considered as the element of the SU(3) group and the second order matrix polynomial is constructed for it. The inverse problem of constructing the logarithm of the mixing matrix is addressed. In this way the standard parameterization is related to the exponential parameterization exactly. The exponential form allows easy factorization and separate analysis of the rotation and the CP violation. With the most recent experimental data on the neutrino mixing (May 2016), we calculate the values of the exponential parameterization matrix for neutrinos with account for the CP violation. The complementarity hypothesis for quarks and neutrinos is demonstrated to hold, despite significant change in the neutrino mixing data. The values of the entries of the exponential mixing matrix are evaluated with account for the actual degree of the CP violation in neutrino mixing and without it. Various factorizations of the CP violating term are investigated in the framework of the exponential parameterization.
