description: Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) are increasingly adopted for low-cost and secure secret key and chip ID generations for embedded and IoT devices. Achieving 100% reproducible keys across wide temperature and voltage variations over the lifetime of a device is critical and conventionally requires large masking or Error Correction Code (ECC) overhead to guarantee. This paper presents an Automatic Self Checking and Healing (ASCH) stabilization technique for a state-of-the-art PUF cell design based on sub-threshold inverter chains. The ASCH system successfully removes all unstable PUF cells without the need for expensive temperature sweeps during unstable bit detection. By accurately finding all unstable bits without expensive temperature sweeps to find all unstable bits, ASCH achieves ultra-low bit error rate (BER), thus significantly reducing the costs of using ECC and enrollment. Our ASCH can operate in two modes, a static mode (S-ASCH) with a conventional pre-enrolled unstable bit mask and a dynamic mode (D-ASCH) that further eliminates the need for non-volatile memories (NVMs) for storing masks. The proposed ASCH-PUF is fabricated and evaluated in 65nm CMOS. The ASCH system achieves "0" Bit Error Rate (BER, < 1.77E-9) across temperature variations of -20°C to 125°C, and voltage variations of 0.7V to 1.4V, by masking 31% and 35% of all fabricated PUF bits in S-ASCH and D-ASCH mode respectively. The prototype achieves a measured throughput of 11.4 Gbps with 0.057 fJ/b core energy efficiency at 1.2V, 25°C.

description: Supply Chain Risk management is a vital approach to enhance the various aspects of operational performance of the firm. The main target of the study was to examine the effects of Supply Chain risks on performance of Awash Winery Share Company. The process of examination has many touch points with multiple functions within the company and these functions need to be examined in order to provide better performance to the company and service to the customer as well. Quantitative methods of research were used and data were collected to the study using questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using both descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (correlation and linear regression). From the result of the analysis it is concluded that operational risks (supply risks, process risk & demand risks) have strong effect on operational performance of the company. Therefore, in order to achieve advancement in market share and profitability in the long run through enhancing operational performance, it is better for the company to give due emphasis to the constructs of supply risks, process risks and demand risks and the measure of operational performance

description: Pulsed spin-torque switching has been studied using single-shot time-resolved electrical measurements in perpendicularly magnetized magnetic tunnel junctions as a function of pulse amplitude and junction size in 50 to 100 nm diameter circular junctions. The mean switching time depends inversely on pulse amplitude for all junctions studied. However, the switching dynamics is found to be strongly dependent on junction size and pulse amplitude. In 50 nm diameter junctions the switching onset is stochastic but the switching once started, is fast; after being initiated it takes less than 2 ns to switch. In larger diameter junctions the time needed for complete switching is strongly dependent on the pulse amplitude, reaching times less than 2 ns at large pulse amplitudes. Anomalies in the switching rate versus pulse amplitude are shown to be associated with the long lived (> 2 ns) intermediate junction resistance states.

description: The purpose of this study is to assess warehousing activities and challenges in a case of ethio telecom. To address this study descriptive analysis method had employed, in addition, this study applies mixed approach. Mainly data was collected using questionnaire, hence the nature of data obtained through this method are quantitative, in addition, qualitative type of data were also gathered using open ended questions from part of the questionnaire and through interview, these are going to be used in supporting & giving full meaning to data obtained by questionnaire. Due to the size of this studies population is few in number and below 100, which is 79, this research is a census study. A total number of 75 questionnaires were distributed, 70 were filled and returned, from this three (3) were filled incompletely, thus, 67 questionnaires were correctly filled & used. Frequency, tables and percentages has used to analyze the data, with the support of SPSS 23 version. The study mainly focused on how are warehousing activities being practiced by ethio telecom, how much emphasis given to warehousing activities, in relation to the five main activities (receiving, put-away, storage, order- picking, and shipping) and what are the major challenges in warehousing practices of ethio telecom. Accordingly, the finding of the study showed that, inadequate availability of unloading & loading space; insufficient availability of machinery's/equipment has to unload, load and move materials. The poor availability of packaging materials. Storage area of goods are also improper, uneconomical and insufficient (including insufficient & narrow sized racks & shelves). Furthermore, the time taken to perform the order – picking activity is higher in the warehouse; this is due to design of the storage area & difficult to pass-through. Low attention given to provisioning of training. Above all, there is significant delay in making decision to avoid/discard obsolete & scrape items, in which abandoned here & there.

Value recovery from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE): A potential opportunity towards a circular economy for end-of-life Mobile Phones
Creators: name: Gomez Soto, Moises Ulises Andreas
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is one of the fastest growing solid waste streams worldwide and, if not treated properly, presents serious health and environmental issues as well as extensive loss of strategic metals. The dramatic increase in the consumption of raw materials over recent decades to meet consumer demand has led to an imbalance in supply and demand, and a potential threat to the continued supply of critical metals. WEEE is a resource-rich source with many of the metals embedded in its composition listed as critical by the European Commission; extraction of these metals from WEEE, to mitigate their threat to supply, is imperative. Using end-of-life mobile phones (EoL-MPs), fast-moving consumer electronics, representative of the value embedded in WEEE, as a case study, a full characterisation of metallic and non-metallic fractions within a mobile phone confirms the presence of up to 71 elements, with many of the strategic and critical metals found in higher concentrations than in their natural ores. Exploiting the unique properties of ionic liquids (ILs), chosen for their selectivity as potential extractants, [Bmim]HSO4 for copper, Cyphos 101 for gold, Cyphos 101 and Aliquat 336 for indium, and [Hbet][Tf2N] for REEs, processes were developed using model test systems to determine optimal parameters to achieve recovery. These developed processes were then applied to treat as-received multigenerational EoL-MP components (printed circuit boards, screens, speakers, etc.), with metals of almost 99% purity recovered, for conversion to products of commercial value. Moreover, the benefit of recycling the ILs as extractants multiple times, without impacting their integrity or efficiency, is realised. This research demonstrates the potential to unlock value from this waste stream that can be exploited in other WEEE streams, as a step towards balancing the criticality of supply and demand of metals that are under threat.

Assessment Of Supply Chain Performance Of Anti-Retro-viral Drugs In Public And Private Health Facilities In Adama City, Oromia,Ethiopia
Creators: name: Kifelew, Bezaye
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The goal of health commodities supply chain is to ensure that every customer gets products and services it needs in continuous and uninterrupted system. A poorly functioning supply chain leads to frequent stock outs and over stock which leads to wastage and service interruption. Thus, the objective of this study was assessed the supply chain performance of Anti- Retroviral drugs in public and private health facilities in Adama city. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in all public and private health facilities which provide ART and PMTCT service. Both primary and secondary data was collected by semi- structured questionnaires, observation checklists and interview. The performance of Anti–Retroviral drugs were measured and analyzed using five selected indicators. The study revealed that inventory accuracy rate for ARV drugs in public and in private health facilities found to be 33.33% and 14.29 % respectively.16.67 % of the public and 10 % of the private health facilities were able to submit report and requisition of ARV drugs to Pharmaceutical Fund and Supply Agency always according to the schedule. All of the public and 60% of the private health facility store managers had trained how to fill the Report and Requisition form. None of both the public and the private health facilities received the exact amount of ordered ARV drugs always. Whereas, 50 % of the public and 30 % of the private health facilities received the exact amount of ordered quantity some times. Majority of the public and the private health facilities received ordered quantity in less than a month period after requesting. Regarding storage condition of the health facilities, none of both the public and the private health facilities met at least 80 % of the acceptable storage criteria's according to the checklist. 83.33% of the public and 60% of the private health facilities met more than 50 % of the proper storage criteria's. In terms of stock out rate 50 % of the public and 40 % of the private health facilities were stocked out of one or more of ARV drugs within six-month period. Finally, from the study it is concluded that the performance of ARV drugs supply chain according to the indicators was not satisfactory which might lead to stock outs and service interruption. Based on the findings, it is recommended for both the public and private health facilities to improve ARV drugs recording and reporting, improve storage condition and prevent stock outs. In addition, training and manpower gaps should be analyzed and filled to improve the availability of ARV drugs.
A Game-Theoretic Approach to Word Sense Disambiguation

Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents a new model for word sense disambiguation formulated in terms of evolutionary game theory, where each word to be disambiguated is represented as a node on a graph whose edges represent word relations and senses are represented as classes. The words simultaneously update their class membership preferences according to the senses that neighboring words are likely to choose. We use distributional information to weigh the influence that each word has on the decisions of the others and semantic similarity information to measure the strength of compatibility among the choices. With this information we can formulate the word sense disambiguation problem as a constraint satisfaction problem and solve it using tools derived from game theory, maintaining the textual coherence. The model is based on two ideas: similar words should be assigned to similar classes and the meaning of a word does not depend on all the words in a text but just on some of them. The paper provides an in-depth motivation of the idea of modeling the word sense disambiguation problem in terms of game theory, which is illustrated by an example. The conclusion presents an extensive analysis on the combination of similarity measures to use in the framework and a comparison with state-of-the-art systems. The results show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms and can be applied to different tasks and in different scenarios.

Effective seismic retrofitting of substandard multi-storey buildings using shear walls
Creators: name: Hajjar, Moemen
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis presents a novel simplified approach for the practical assessment and retrofitting of multistorey reinforced concrete (RC) buildings located in seismic hazard regions using shear walls, with emphasis on the buildings of Lebanon. In view of this, the retrofitting of existing buildings is currently a process that relies heavily on engineering judgment and layout constraints, which can be an onerous task. Even when retrofitted, such structures would likely respond inelastically under a major earthquake, where the response is most realistically represented by computationally expensive nonlinear time history analysis (NLTHA). Towards reducing such computational demands, a simplified modelling approach is developed based on the capacity spectrum method (CSM), which utilises nonlinear static pushover analysis in conjunction with the dynamic characteristics of a structure to establish whether the seismic capacity of the structure meets the demands of seismic ground motion. The reliability of the CSM requires satisfying the main assumption that the maximum lateral storey drifts are governed by deformations of the fundamental mode of the originally elastic system. This research presents an approach that reduces the torsional effects in the fundamental mode which consequently enforces the predominance of the latter in the seismic response, and this is accomplished by reducing the average Euclidean eccentricity at all storeys. Furthermore, it encompasses a simplified numerical approach that determines the dynamic characteristics of buildings in a simplified manner that avoids the need for assembling the mass and stiffness matrices that is required by conventional eigenvalue analysis. The work is also complemented with a simplified procedure that estimates the pushover response of RC frame buildings reinforced with shear walls through direct application of static analysis. Last, the aforementioned findings are assembled in the context of the CSM in order to build a solid retrofitting strategy that facilitates and guides the strengthening of existing substandard RC frame buildings. Finally, the proposed work is demonstrated using a few case studies of existing RC buildings, and the results are verified against a complete NLTHA performed on ETABS. Therefore, the proposed work offers a new context on structural assessment and promises to bring immediate impact in an attempt to enhance the safety of multi-storey RC buildings under seismic action.

Pyrolytic gasification: Energy, char, and phosphorus recovery from sewage sludge
Creators: name: Heitmann, Marc
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Sewage sludge is an energy and nutrient rich resource, typically treated by anaerobic digestion and recycled to agriculture in the UK. Sludge provides soil with organic matter and essential nutrients which contribute to crop growth and offsets inorganic fertiliser use. However, this model has limitations: • Sludge mineralisation releases CO2 and energy that could be recovered. • The sludge land bank is constrained. • Sludge contains emerging contaminants. Pyrolysis has the potential to convert sludge into; energy-rich volatiles and char whose formation sequesters carbon and potentially facilitates nutrient recovery and manufacturing high-value products. A laboratory pyrolysis plant was designed and built to enable investigation into practical application of pyrolysis in a representative manner. Key process and energy findings were: • Accumulation of carbon and soot-tar composites must be managed to avoid blockages. • Energy-rich gas was formed (LHV = 15.6-19.7 MJ m-3), which comprised hydrocarbons, hydrogen, carbon oxides and other components. • Conversion efficiency maximised at 800oC, with 59% conversion of sludge (HHV) to gas (LHV). Sludge char retained one-third of sludge carbon by weight, including graphitic and heterocyclic structures which influences char surface chemistry. Sludge char is a Class-B candidate for soil carbon sequestration and analysis suggests it sequesters more than biosolids recycling. Char phosphate extraction with mineral acids is >90% effective, however co-extraction of iron and aluminium complicates phosphate valorisation. Char land application provides a circular-materials approach to phosphate recycling, assuming bespoke permits are obtained. Char contains heavy metals but is not expected to be ecotoxic because of their chemical form (e.g. sulphides). Solvent extraction is required to confirm organic contaminants do not pose a risk. Several regulatory challenges (e.g. End-of-waste) have been identified that inhibit fuel-gas valorisation and char disposal or recycling. These may inhibit widespread adoption of pyrolysis and further development of novel processes that improve process reliability and product valorisation.
Real Exchange Rate Misalignment and Economic Performance in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Dynamic Panel Data Approach
Creators: name: Tarko, Dessie
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of real exchange rate misalignment on the long-run growth of 29 sub-Saharan African countries using a panel data from 1980 to 2007. We first estimate the effects of macroeconomic fundamentals on the real exchange rate of SSA using the more efficient Dynamic panel OLS cointegration estimation technique of Kao and Chiang (2000), from which misalignment indicators are derived. We have found terms of trade and capital flow have positive significant impact on ERER. We have also estimated four different kinds of economic growth regression models using the two step system GMM estimator which is proved to be helpful in resolving econometric problems of endogeneity, heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation and omitted variable biases. The results for the two-step System GMM panel growth models signify that real exchange rate misalignment, its variability and higher undervaluation have strong negative effect on the economic growth of SSA. In contrast, smaller undervaluation is found to have a significant positive effect on economic growth. Consequently, SSA governments' policies should be directed on achieving a moderately depreciated exchange rate.

description: Collective phenomena emerging from non-linear interactions between multiple oscillators, such as synchronization and frequency locking, find applications in a wide variety of fields. Optomechanical resonators, which are intrinsically non-linear, combine the scientific assets of mechanical devices with the possibility of long distance controlled interactions enabled by travelling light. Here we demonstrate light-mediated frequency locking of three distant nano-optomechanical oscillators positioned in a cascaded configuration. The oscillators, integrated on a chip along a coupling waveguide, are optically driven with a single laser and oscillate at gigahertz frequency. Despite an initial frequency disorder of hundreds of kilohertz, the guided light locks them all with a clear transition in the optical output. The experimental results are described by Langevin equations, paving the way to scalable cascaded optomechanical configurations.

By combining secret-key RLWE-based HE, additive secret sharing and PRFs, we reduce approximately by a half the communication cost per party when compared to the usual public-key instantiations, while keeping practical homomorphic aggregation performances. Additionally, for LWE-based instantiations, our approach reduces the communication cost per party from quadratic to linear in terms of the lattice dimension.

Supply Chain Management Practices and Performance of Ethiopian Public Merchandise Business Enterprise (The case of Ethiopian Industrial Inputs Development Enterprise)
Creators: name: Yibeltal, Dinberu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Supply chain management (SCM) has become a means of securing competitive advantage and improving organizational performance since competition is no longer between organizations, but among supply chains. This study examines the relationship of supply chain management practices (strategic supplier partnership (procurement and supply management), transportation and logistics management, customer relationship management, level of information sharing, and internal lean practice) with operational and organizational performance. Data for the analysis were collected from employee of Ethiopian industrial inputs development enterprise and the relationships proposed in the conceptual frame work were tested by using inferential statics. The finding confirmed that, among supply chain management practices; strategic supplier partnership, customer relationship management have statistically significant contribution to the competitiveness of the enterprise. On the other hand, level of information sharing, time to market and product delivery dependability has statistically significant contribution to the overall performance of the enterprise. Since, today's competition is among the supply chain management practices, the enterprise have to address those practices that have statistical significant.

Radial vibrations of BPS skyrmions

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study radial vibrations of spherically symmetric skyrmions in the BPS Skyrme model. Concretely, we numerically solve the linearised field equations for small fluctuations in a skyrmion background, both for linearly stable oscillations and for (unstable) resonances. This is complemented by numerical solutions of the full nonlinear system, which confirm all the results of the linear analysis. In all cases, the resulting fundamental excitation provides a rather accurate value for the Roper resonance, supporting the hypothesis that the BPS Skyrme model already gives a reasonable approximate description of this resonance. Further, for many potentials additional higher resonances appear, again in agreement with known experimental results.

Extraction of Gravitational Waves in Numerical Relativity
Creators: name: Bishop, Nigel T.
name: Rezzolla, Luciano
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A numerical-relativity calculation yields in general a solution of the Einstein equations including also a radiative part, which is in practice computed in a region of finite extent. Since gravitational radiation is properly defined only at null infinity and in an appropriate coordinate system, the accurate estimation of the emitted gravitational waves represents an old and non-trivial problem in numerical relativity. A number of methods have been developed over the years to "extract" the radiative part of the solution from a numerical simulation and these include: quadrupole formulas, gauge-invariant metric perturbations, Weyl scalars, and characteristic extraction. We review and discuss each method, in terms of both its theoretical background as well as its implementation. Finally, we provide a brief comparison of the various methods in terms of their inherent advantages and disadvantages.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The objective of this research was to assess the performance of the outsourced Logistics functions of Sur construction plc with the intention of identifying, reason for outsourcing, benefits of outsourced logistics functions and its implementation challenges.It was conducted in a bid to get relevant information about the study. To this end, the researcher has gathered data from primary sources using questionnaire, interview and personal observation. Descriptive type of research is applied using SPSS software to present and analyze the data gathered from 40 respondents. The finding shows that outsourcing logistics function was an ideal solution that helps the company to focus on its core activities, reduce its operation cost, to efficiently utilize company's asset and saving in capital investment. This research finding has shown that the implementation of outsourcing logistics function face some logistical challenges that would affect its performance. To overcome outsourcing logistics challenges, the company have to plan or schedule for required items or services and make clear the roles and duties of both parties and implement good monitoring and evaluation system a good communication system should also be established between outsourcing team of the company and 3Pl providers
Imaging snake orbits at graphene n-p junctions

description: We consider conductance mapping of the snake-orbits confined along the n-p junction defined in graphene by the electrostatic doping in the quantum Hall regime. We explain the periodicity of conductance oscillations at the magnetic field and the Fermi energy scales by the properties of the n-p junction as a conducting channel. We evaluate the conductance maps for a floating gate scanning the surface of the device. In the quantum Hall conditions the currents flow near the edges of the sample and along the n-p junction. The conductance mapping resolves only the n-p junction and not the edges. The conductance oscillations along the junction are found in the maps with periodicity related to the cyclotron orbits of the scattering current. Stronger probe potentials provide support to localized resonances at one of the sides of the junction with current loops that interfere with the n-p junction currents. The interference results in a series of narrow lines parallel to the junction with positions that strongly depend on the magnetic field through the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The consequences of a limited transparency of finite width n-p junctions are also discussed.

description: It has been proposed that the states of fully many-body localized systems can be described in terms of conserved local pseudospins. Due to the multitude of ways to define these, the explicit identification of the optimally local pseudospins in specific systems is non-trivial. Given continuing intense interest in the role of disorder in strongly correlated systems, we consider the disordered Hubbard model. Focusing on a two-site system, we track the evolution of the optimally localized pseudospins as hopping and interactions are varied to move the system away from the trivially localized atomic limit, examining the explicit form of the pseudospins and exploring the broad distribution of non-optimal forms.
