description: We investigate genuine multipartite nonlocality of pure permutationally invariant multimode Gaussian states of continuous variable systems, as detected by the violation of Svetlichny inequality. We identify the phase space settings leading to the largest violation of the inequality when using displaced parity measurements, distinguishing our results between the cases of even and odd total number of modes. We further consider pseudospin measurements and show that, for three-mode states with asymptotically large squeezing degree, particular settings of these measurements allow one to approach the maximum violation of Svetlichny inequality allowed by quantum mechanics. This indicates that the strongest manifestation of genuine multipartite quantum nonlocality is in principle verifiable on Gaussian states.

Creators: name: Rediate, Tsegaye
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Ethiopian highland hair sheep skins have a wide importance mainly as a source of foreign exchange to the country from the leather industry. The consumption of these products is high for reasons of high quality to make glove, cabretta as well as for sport goods leathers. The present work describes the study on characterization of the Ethiopian highland hair sheep skin by carrying out histological analysis using light microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Indian hair sheep skin has been used for comparing the characteristics features. Various features of the Ethiopian highland sheep and Indian red hair sheep skins such as thickness distribution of the skin, layers in the epidermal area, fibre size, fibre orientation and the interweave in the dermal area, the hair pore count and grain to corium ratio have been determined. In addition to this physico-chemical characteristics of hair sheep skins have been analyzed using different equipment and procedures. From the result of physical and chemical characteristics it could be inferred that tensile and tear strength of the leathers from Ethiopian highland hair sheep skin is higher than Indian hair sheep skins. Chemical characteristics such as the hydroxyproline content, collagen, nitrogen, glycoprotein, hide substance of the skins have been determined and in all result Ethiopia highland hair sheep skins are better compared to Indian material. From the histological, physical and chemical characteristics of the Ethiopian sheep skins, it could be inferred that the inherent character of these skins make it suitable for making of glove and cabretta leathers.

description: Using an anomalous transport model for massless quarks and antiquarks, we study the effect of a magnetic field on the elliptic flows of quarks and antiquarks in relativistic heavy ion collisions. With initial conditions from a blast wave model and assuming that the strong magnetic field produced in non-central heavy ion collisions can last for a sufficiently long time, we obtain an appreciable electric quadrupole moment in the transverse plane of a heavy ion collision. The electric quadrupole moment subsequently leads to a splitting between the elliptic flows of quarks and antiquarks. The slope of the charge asymmetry dependence of the elliptic flow difference between positively and negatively charged particles is positive, which is expected from the chiral magnetic wave formed in the produced QGP and observed in experiments at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, only if the Lorentz force acting on the charged particles is neglected and the quark-antiquark scattering is assumed to be dominated by the chirality changing channel.

description: Parity-violating elastic electron-nucleon scattering at low momentum transfer allows one to access the nucleon's weak charge, the vector coupling of the $Z$-boson to the nucleon. In the Standard Model and at tree level, the weak charge of the proton is related to the weak mixing angle and accidentally suppressed, $Q_W^{p,\,{\rm tree}}=1-4\sin^2θ_W\approx0.07$. Modern experiments aim at extracting $Q_W^p$ at $\sim1\%$ accuracy. Similarly, parity non-conservation in atoms allows to access the weak charge of atomic nuclei. We consider a novel class of radiative corrections, an exchange of two photons with parity violation in the hadronic/nuclear system. These corrections may affect the extraction of $\sin^2θ_W$ from the experimental data at the relevant level of precision because they are affected by long-range interactions similar to other parity-violating radiative corrections, such as, e.g., the $γZ$-exchange, which has obtained much attention recently. We show that the significance of this new correction increases with the beam energy in parity-violating electron scattering, but the general properties of the parity-violating forward Compton amplitude protect the formal definition of the weak charge as a limit at zero-momentum transfer and zero-energy. We also discuss the relevance of the new correction for upcoming experiments.

description: Potassium intercalated FeSe has been reported as a superconductor with superconducting transition temperatures ($T_{\rm c}$'s) of 30-48 K. However, there is no clear answer to identify the relationship between the surface morphology, compositional ratio and its crystal structure. This report directly reveals the correspondence among these three characteristics in single crystals with a $T_{\rm c}$ onset of around 44 K using a micro-sampling technique. Island-like parts on the surface of the crystals clearly have the K$_x$Fe$_2$Se$_2$ structure with perfect FeSe layers, which is formed in conjunction with the K$_2$Fe$_4$Se$_5$ phase. This results in the appearance of the $T_{\rm c}$ onset of 44 K.

Assessment of Men' S Involvement In Long Acting and Permanent Contraceptive Use among Currently Married Men Aged 20-64 Years, in Mizan-Aman District, South Western Ethiopia
Creators: name: Mulatu, Kebadnew
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Introduction: Though women bear the physical, psychological and emotional strain of pregnancy and childbirth, it could not mean that fertility and contraception are based exclusively on the female population. Thus, the social roles of men who are dominant not only in decision making within the family, but also at community leadership levels have been overlooked. Most family planning programs give less attention to the understanding of men's role in the effective and steadfast utilization of contraceptives. Objective: the main aim was to assess the role of men in long acting and permanent contraceptive use among currently married men aged 20-64 in Mizan-Aman District, South Western Ethiopia. Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted. A mixed method of quantitative and qualitative research was used. A total of 554 study participants were recruited for the study. The investigator prepared, pre-tested and structured questionnaire was used to collect data. Odds ratio along with 95% Confidence interval in Multivariate Binary Logistic regression was used to assess the strength and significance of the association. Thematic analysis has also been adapted for analyzing the qualitative data. Results: A total of 521 men were included in the analysis. Only 11.5% the respondent's wives used LAPMs though no study participant used any of these methods. Discussions between couples about LAPMs in the last 12 months (AOR=4: 95% CI.1.9-8.2) and on the number of children they want to have (AOR=3.1: 95% CI.1-9.2), going to health facilities with wives to discuss about FP with health providers (AOR=2.7: 95% CI. 1.3-5.6), and supporting the use LAPMS (AOR=4.5: 95% CI. 1.6-12.5) were significantly and strongly associated with utilization of LAPMs compared to their respective counterparts. Conclusions and recommendation: Discussion between couples on the use of LAPMs and on the number of children they should have; and men's approval of LAPMs' utilization were factors that influencing utilization of LAPMs in the town. Health extension workers should enhance discussion between couples. Town level health programmers should advocate discussion between couples and men's awareness on LAPMs. Further research, including both men and women is recommended in the Town and beyond.

description: As several large single-dish radio surveys begin operation within the coming decade, a wealth of radio data will become available and provide a new window to the Universe. In order to fully exploit the potential of these data sets, it is important to understand the systematic effects associated with the instrument and the analysis pipeline. A common approach to tackle this is to forward-model the entire system - from the hardware to the analysis of the data products. For this purpose, we introduce two newly developed, open-source Python packages: the HI Data Emulator (HIDE) and the Signal Extraction and Emission Kartographer (SEEK) for simulating and processing single-dish radio survey data. HIDE forward-models the process of collecting astronomical radio signals in a single-dish radio telescope instrument and outputs pixel-level time-ordered-data. SEEK processes the time-ordered-data, removes artifacts from Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), automatically applies flux calibration, and aims to recover the astronomical radio signal. The two packages can be used separately or together depending on the application. Their modular and flexible nature allows easy adaptation to other instruments and data sets. We describe the basic architecture of the two packages and examine in detail the noise and RFI modeling in HIDE, as well as the implementation of gain calibration and RFI mitigation in SEEK. We then apply HIDE & SEEK to forward-model a Galactic survey in the frequency range 990 - 1260 MHz based on data taken at the Bleien Observatory. For this survey, we expect to cover 70% of the full sky and achieve a median signal-to-noise ratio of approximately 5 - 6 in the cleanest channels including systematic uncertainties. However, we also point out the potential challenges of high RFI contamination and baseline removal when examining the early data from the Bleien Observatory.

description: At the Large Hadron Collider, numerous physics processes expected within the standard model and theories beyond it give rise to very high momentum particles decaying to multihadronic final states. Development of algorithms for efficient identification of such "boosted" particles while rejecting the background from multihadron jets from light quarks and gluons can greatly aid in the sensitivity of measurements and new particle searches. This paper presents a new method for identifying boosted high-mass particles using event shapes in Lorentz-boosted reference frames. Variables calculated in these frames for multihadronic jets can then be used as input to a large artificial neural network to discriminate their origin.

description: Defect cavities in 3D photonic crystal can trap and store light in the smallest volumes allowable in dielectric materials, enhancing non-linearities and cavity QED effects. Here, we study inverse rod-connected diamond (RCD) crystals containing point defect cavities using plane-wave expansion and finite-difference time domain methods. By optimizing the dimensions of the crystal, wide photonic band gaps are obtained. Mid-bandgap resonances can then be engineered by introducing point defects in the crystal. We investigate a variety of single spherical defects at different locations in the unit cell focusing on high-refractive-index contrast (3.3:1) inverse RCD structures; quality factors (Q-factors) and mode volumes of the resonant cavity modes are calculated. By choosing a symmetric arrangement, consisting of a single sphere defect located at the center of a tetrahedral arrangement, mode volumes < 0.06 cubic wavelengths are obtained, a record for high index cavities.

description: The generation of photocurrent in an ideal two-dimensional Dirac spectrum is symmetry-forbidden. In sharp contrast, we show that three-dimensional Weyl semimetals can generically support significant photocurrent generations due to the combination of inversion symmetry breaking and finite tilts of the Weyl spectra. Symmetry properties, chirality relations and various dependences on the system and light sources are explored in details. Our results suggest that noncentrosymmetric Weyl materials can be advantageously applied to room temperature detections of mid- and far-infrared radiations.

Modeling galaxy clustering on small scales to tighten constraints on dark energy and modified gravity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a new approach to measuring cosmic expansion history and growth rate of large scale structure using the anisotropic two dimensional galaxy correlation function (2DCF) measured from data; it makes use of the empirical modeling of small-scale galaxy clustering derived from numerical simulations by Zheng et al. (2013). We validate this method using mock catalogues, before applying it to the analysis of the CMASS sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10 (DR10) of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We find that this method enables accurate and precise measurements of cosmic expansion history and growth rate of large scale structure. Modeling the 2DCF fully including nonlinear effects and redshift space distortions (RSD) in the scale range of 16 to 144 Mpc/h, we find H(0.57)r_s(z_d)/c=0.0459 +/- 0.0006, D_A(0.57)/r_s(z_d)=9.011 +/- 0.073, and f_g(0.57)σ_8(0.57)=0.476 +/- 0.050, which correspond to precisions of 1.3%, 0.8%, and 10.5% respectively. We have defined r_s(z_d) to be the sound horizon at the drag epoch computed using a simple integral, f_g(z) as the growth rate at redshift z, and σ_8(z) as the matter power spectrum normalization on 8Mpc/h scale at z. We find that neglecting the small-scale information significantly weakens the constraints on H(z) and D_A(z), and leads to a biased estimate of f_g(z). Our results indicate that we can significantly tighten constraints on dark energy and modified gravity by reliably modeling small-scale galaxy clustering.

description: Shear banding and stick-slip instabilities have been long observed in sheared granular materials. Yet, their microscopic underpinnings, interdependencies and variability under different loading conditions have not been fully explored. Here, we use a non-equilibrium thermodynamics model, the Shear Transformation Zone theory, to investigate the dynamics of strain localization and its connection to stability of sliding in sheared, dry, granular materials. We consider frictional and frictionless grains as well as presence and absence of acoustic vibrations. Our results suggest that at low and intermediate strain rates, persistent shear bands develop only in the absence of vibrations. Vibrations tend to fluidize the granular network and de-localize slip at these rates. Stick-slip is only observed for frictional grains and it is confined to the shear band. At high strain rates, stick-slip disappears and the different systems exhibit similar stress-slip response. Changing the vibration intensity, duration or time of application alters the system response and may cause long-lasting rheological changes. We analyse these observations in terms of possible transitions between rate strengthening and rate weakening response facilitated by a competition between shear induced dilation and vibration induced compaction. We discuss the implications of our results on dynamic triggering, quiescence and strength evolution in gouge filled fault zones.

Creators: name: Molalign, Tamirat
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a very common infection both in the community and hospital patients. Development of drug resistance by bacteriuria is a growing problem. Accurate identification of bacteria implicated causing UTIs and determining their drug susceptibility pattern is critical for efficient management of patients with UTIs; that has significant clinical and financial benefits, via reduction of mortality rates and overall hospitalization costs. The aim of this study was to determine the spectrum of bacteria implicated in causing urinary tract infections and their drug susceptibility profile. Methodology: The present study was a single institutional cross-sectional study carried out at Arsho Advanced Medical laboratory, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from March to July 2016. Clean- catch midstream urine was collected from study participants and was inoculated onto primary isolation culture media with calibrated loop. All plates were incubated at 37 0C for 18-24 hours and the number of colonies was counted. Species identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing of bacteria were determined with the automated VITEK 2 compact system. Result: Out of 712 urine samples processed, 256 (36%) yielded significant bacteriuria of which 208 (81.25%) were obtained from female study participants and 48 (18.75%) were from male study participants. Cases of 75 % UTIs were recorded among age group of 15-64 years. Of the 256 bacterial isolates recovered, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Enterococcus faecalis were the dominant bacterial isolates. Ampicillin (21.7%) and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (33.7%) were the least effective drugs against gram negative bacteria while piperacillin/tazobactam (82.3%) was the most effective drug. Erythromycin (17.8%) was the least effective drug against gram positive bacteria and daptomycin (98.1%) was the most active drugs. The overall resistance to two and more antibacterial drugs was high (75.4% and 91.3% for gram negative and positive respectively). Conclusion: Isolation of many unpredictable bacteria, urinary tract infection rate of 36%, and an overall higher resistance rate to two and more antibacterial (75.4% and 91.3% for gram negative and gram positive bacteria respectively) were documented. These highlight the need for nationwide study on the spectrum and drug sensitivity pattern bacterial uropathogens.

description: Employees are the most valuable resource of an organization and assessing their attitudes towards their internal business process make a difference to company performance. This paper demands on assessing the employees' attitudes towards the organizational change of Commercial bank of Ethiopia. In the way to answering the basic questions of the research, the study applied descriptive research design using mixed research approach. Data was gathered through questionnaire, interviews and document review. To collect the relevant data, a five-point Likert-scale is used and descriptive analysis with Mean, Frequencies and percentages were applied during data analysis. The findings of the research shows that the organization has three focus area of change namely, marketing strategy, organizational structure and profit maximization. And employees also have appositive attitude towards those organizational change. And mostly the attitude of employees are influenced by work friendly, smooth communication with supervisors, job satisfaction is by far the most important predictor of employee's attitude, followed by job security, motivation and lastly personal interest. Additionally the finding of the research shows that the success of the organization and profitability is based on the employee's attitude and effort which they sacrifice to the organization. And it can be measured by the profitability and success of the organization. Finally it concludes that employees are dissatisfied on the management actions to support or shape the employee's attitude. Based on the findings, the organization is recommended to improve the level of their employee's attitude because the current employee's positive attitude may not remains constant. Moreover, the organization should have to work on the training and development and Training need assessment should be done before employees are sent to training. In addition online training is recommended to the training and development department Because online training save a cost than classroom training and it's accessible to everyone's whose can access a computer.

description: Brownian clocks are biomolecular networks that can count time. A paradigmatic example are proteins that go through a cycle thus regulating some oscillatory behaviour in a living system. Typically, such a cycle requires free energy often provided by ATP hydrolysis. We investigate the relation between the precision of such a clock and its thermodynamic costs. For clocks driven by a constant thermodynamic force, a given precision requires a minimal cost that diverges as the uncertainty of the clock vanishes. In marked contrast, we show that a clock driven by a periodic variation of an external protocol can achieve arbitrary precision at arbitrarily low cost. This result constitutes a fundamental difference between processes driven by a fixed thermodynamic force and those driven periodically. As a main technical tool, we map a periodically driven system with a deterministic protocol to one subject to an external protocol that changes in stochastic time intervals, which simplifies calculations significantly. In the non-equilibrium steady state of the resulting bipartite Markov process, the uncertainty of the clock can be deduced from the calculable dispersion of a corresponding current.

description: We study strong-field molecular ionization as a function of pulse duration. Experimental measurements of the photoelectron yield for a number of molecules reveal competition between different ionization continua (cationic states) which depends strongly on pulse duration. Surprisingly, in the limit of short pulse duration, we find that a single ionic continuum dominates the yield, whereas multiple continua are produced for longer pulses. Using calculations which take vibrational dynamics into account, we interpret our results in terms of nuclear motion and non-adiabatic dynamics during the ionization process.

description: We investigate the effects of cosmic ray (CR) dynamics on cold, dense clouds embedded in a hot, tenuous galactic halo. If the magnetic field does not increase too much inside the cloud, the local reduction in Alfvén speed imposes a bottleneck on CRs streaming out from the star-forming galactic disk. The bottleneck flattens the upstream CR gradient in the hot gas, implying that multi-phase structure could have global effects on CR driven winds. A large CR pressure gradient can also develop on the outward-facing edge of the cloud. This pressure gradient has two independent effects. The CRs push the cloud upward, imparting it with momentum. On smaller scales, the CRs pressurize cold gas in the fronts, reducing its density, consistent with the low densities of cold gas inferred in recent COS observations of local $L_{*}$ galaxies. They also heat the material at the cloud edge, broadening the cloud-halo interface and causing an observable change in interface ionic abundances. Due to the much weaker temperature dependence of cosmic ray heating relative to thermal conductive heating, CR mediated fronts have a higher ratio of low to high ions compared to conduction fronts, in better agreement with observations. We investigate these effects separately using 1D simulations and analytic techniques.

description: The field of microbiome research has grown exponentially over the past decade, marked by substantial investments in resources and recognition of its potential clinical significance. Microbiome data consist of highly dimensional and complex genetic information. Our study aimed to answer two key questions. First, does the microshades color palette significantly improve accessibility of the plots published in microbiome literature for those with color vision deficiency? And second, how can we make CVD accessible color palettes widely available to microbiome researchers creating plots for publication?

description: Maintaining the stability of synchronization state is crucial for the functioning of many natural and artificial systems. In this study, we develop methods to optimize the synchronization stability of the Kuramoto model by minimizing the dominant Lyapunov exponent. With the help of the recently proposed cut-set space approximation of the steady states, we greatly simplify the objective function, and further derive its gradient and Hessian with respect to natural frequencies, which leads to an efficient algorithm with the quasi-Newton's method. The optimized systems are demonstrated to achieve better synchronization stability for the Kuramoto model with or without inertia in certain regimes. Hence our method is applicable in improving the stability of power grids. It is also viable to adjust the coupling strength of each link to improve the stability of the system. Various operational constraints can also be easily integrated into our scope by employing the interior point method in convex optimization. The properties of the optimized networks are also discussed.

description: Using 25 years of data from uninterrupted monitoring of stellar orbits in the Galactic Center, we present an update of the main results from this unique data set: A measurement of mass of and distance to SgrA*. Our progress is not only due to the eight year increase in time base, but also due to the improved definition of the coordinate system. The star S2 continues to yield the best constraints on the mass of and distance to SgrA*; the statistical errors of 0.13 x 10^6 M_sun and 0.12 kpc have halved compared to the previous study. The S2 orbit fit is robust and does not need any prior information. Using coordinate system priors, also the star S1 yields tight constraints on mass and distance. For a combined orbit fit, we use 17 stars, which yields our current best estimates for mass and distance: M = 4.28 +/- 0.10|stat. +/. 0.21|sys. x 10^6 M_sun and R_0 = 8.32 +/- 0.07|stat. +/- 0.14|sys. kpc. These numbers are in agreement with the recent determination of R_0 from the statistical cluster parallax. The positions of the mass, of the near-infrared flares from SgrA* and of the radio source SgrA* agree to within 1mas. In total, we have determined orbits for 40 stars so far, a sample which consists of 32 stars with randomly oriented orbits and a thermal eccentricity distribution, plus eight stars for which we can explicitly show that they are members of the clockwise disk of young stars, and which have lower eccentricity orbits.

description: Regarding three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators and semimetals as a stack of constituent 2D topological (or sometimes non-topological) layers is a useful viewpoint. Primarily, concrete theoretical models of the paradigmatic 3D topological phases such as Weyl semimetal (WSM), strong and weak topological insulators (STI/WTI), and Chern insulator (CI), are often constructed in that way. Secondarily, fabrication of the corresponding 3D topological material is also done in the same spirit; epitaxial growth technique is employed, making the resulting sample in the form of a thin film. Here, in this paper we calculate $\mathbb{Z}$- and $\mathbb{Z}_2$-indices and study evolution of the topological properties of such thin films of 3D topological systems, making also a comparative study of CI- vs. TI-type models belonging to different symmetry classes in this respect. Through this comparative study we suggest that WSM is to CI as STI is to WTI. Finally, to test the robustness of our scenario against disorder and relevance to experiments we have also studied numerically the two-terminal conductance of the system using transfer matrix method.

description: Background: In the last two decades Ethiopia has witnessed increasing immigration flows from South Sudan, Somalia and Eritrea. However, these immigrants are not screened for hepatitis B and C which could be additional burden for the local population. Objective: To determine Prevalence of hepatitis B and C viruses, associated risk factors and knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) among refugees at Pugnido-I refugee camp in Gambela, Ethiopia. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted on 453 refugees at Pugnido-I refugee camp in Gambella region from January to May 2018.Socio-demographic, risk factors and KAP was assessed by using structured questionnaires. Five ml blood sample was collected with serum separator tube. HBsAg and anti-HCV rapid screening tests were performed and those positive samples were confirmed using ELISA method. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS statistical software version 20. The odds ratio and 95% confidence interval was calculated to assess the strength of the association. P-value less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Results: The overall prevalence of HBV and HCV among refugees was 7.3 %( n=33/453) and 2.0 %( n=9/453) respectively. Of those 6.8% (n=25/370) and 1.4% (n=5/370) of females were positive for HBV and HCV respectively. And 9.6 % (n=8/83) and 4.8 % (n=4/83) of males were positive for HBV and HCV respectively There was no significant association between HBV and proposed risk factors (p>0.05), however, statistical significant association was observed between HCV and age group of 18-25years (AOR=0.045, CI 95%=0.005-0.378, P=0.004) and 26-35years (AOR=0.035, CI 95%0.004-0.301, P=0.002). From the total participants, 86.5%(n= 392/453) did not know how the disease is transmitted, 8.2%(n= 37/453) believed that hepatitis can be transmitted through food, 86.8%(n= 393/453) had no information about the availability of HBV vaccine and 98.5%(n=446/453) were not vaccinated. Conclusion: The prevalence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C among refugees was intermediate which might be due to low knowledge and attitude towards the transmission and prevention of the disease. Therefore this indicates the need for creating awareness for refugees about the transmission and prevention mechanisms of hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection. Large scale study is recommended at national level.
