description: Additive manufacturing (AM) technology is being increasingly adopted in a wide variety of application areas due to its ability to rapidly produce, prototype, and customize designs. AM techniques afford significant opportunities in regard to nuclear materials, including an accelerated fabrication process and reduced cost. High-fidelity modeling and simulation (M\&S) of AM processes is being developed in Idaho National Laboratory (INL)'s Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment (MOOSE) to support AM process optimization and provide a fundamental understanding of the various physical interactions involved. In this paper, we employ Bayesian inverse uncertainty quantification (UQ) to quantify the input uncertainties in a MOOSE-based melt pool model for AM. Inverse UQ is the process of inversely quantifying the input uncertainties while keeping model predictions consistent with the measurement data. The inverse UQ process takes into account uncertainties from the model, code, and data while simultaneously characterizing the uncertain distributions in the input parameters--rather than merely providing best-fit point estimates. We employ measurement data on melt pool geometry (lengths and depths) to quantify the uncertainties in several melt pool model parameters. Simulation results using the posterior uncertainties have shown improved agreement with experimental data, as compared to those using the prior nominal values. The resulting parameter uncertainties can be used to replace expert opinions in future uncertainty, sensitivity, and validation studies.

description: This is the first part of a two paper series studying free globularily generated double categories. In this first installment we introduce the free globularily generated double category construction. The free globularily generated double category construction canonically associates to every bicategory together with a possible category of vertical morphisms, a double category fixing this set of initial data in a free and minimal way. We use the free globularily generated double category to study length, free products, and problems of internalization. We use the free globularily generated double category construction to provide formal functorial extensions of the Haagerup standard form construction and the Connes fusion operation to inclusions of factors of not-necessarily finite Jones index.

description: Photons strongly coupled to material systems constitute a novel system for studying the dynamics of non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems. We give a fully analytical description of the dynamics of photons coupled to a one-dimensional array of two-level atoms. The description incorporates input, scattering inside the medium, and the ejection of photons from the array. We show that inelastic collisions, previously identified in small systems, also occur in infinite systems and elucidate the physics behind this effect. The developed theory constitutes an effective field theory for the dynamics, which can be used as a starting point for studies of many-body dynamics. We discuss different parameter regimes and touch upon possible applications and the limit of many excitations.

description: Mathematikunterricht ist ein soziales Geschehen, das in einer Welt der Dinge stattfindet. Nicht nur Schülerinnen, Schüler und Lehrpersonen, sondern auch unterschiedlichste Objekte, wie die Tafel, Mathematikbücher oder didaktische Materialien tragen zu dem bei, was Mathematikunterricht ausmacht. Nicht nur Menschen, sondern auch Objekte sind beteiligt am Vollzug der sozialen Unterrichtswirklichkeit. Objekte sind weit mehr als Instrumente in unseren Händen: Sie sind mitten drin, statt nur dabei. Entsprechend wird in diesem Beitrag einer Perspektive auf Mathematikunterricht besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt, die Objekte sozial in den Blick nimmt und auch nicht-menschliche Akteure im unterrichtlichen Interaktionsprozess akzeptiert. Auf der Grundlage von Latours Actor-Network-Theory wird ein Perspektivwechsel zu einer Soziologie der Objekte angeregt (2005; 2001). Empirische Forschung zur Handlungsträgerschaft von Objekten, wie sie in diesem Beitrag vorgestellt wird, trägt bei zu einer empirisch fundierten Differenzierung des Handlungsbegriffs bei: Wie ‚handeln‘ Arbeitsmittel und Materialien? Welche Formen des Objekt-Handelns lassen sich rekonstruieren?

description: Malaria remains one of the greatest global health problems today. This thesis examined how malaria parasites make people sick by zooming in on the microscopic battlefield between human and parasite. It was discovered that two proteins, found only malaria parasites, appear to help the parasite evade the human immune system. It was also revealed that malaria parasites release factors into the blood which negatively impact the function of human red blood cells. Altogether, this work helps us to understand the remarkably unique biology of malaria parasites.

description: This paper is part of an ongoing endeavor to bring the theory of fair division closer to practice by handling requirements from real-life applications. We focus on two requirements originating from the division of land estates: (1) each agent should receive a plot of a usable geometric shape, and (2) plots of different agents must be physically separated. With these requirements, the classic fairness notion of \emph{proportionality} is impractical, since it may be impossible to attain any multiplicative approximation of it. In contrast, the \emph{ordinal maximin share approximation}, introduced by Budish in 2011, provides meaningful fairness guarantees. We prove upper and lower bounds on achievable maximin share guarantees when the usable shapes are squares, fat rectangles, or arbitrary axis-aligned rectangles, and explore the algorithmic and query complexity of finding fair partitions in this setting. Our work makes use of tools and concepts from computational geometry such as independent sets of rectangles and guillotine partitions.

description: We re-analyse recent Cepheid data to estimate the Hubble parameter $H_0$ by using Bayesian hyper-parameters (HPs). We consider the two data sets from Riess et al 2011 and 2016 (labelled R11 and R16, with R11 containing less than half the data of R16) and include the available anchor distances (megamaser system NGC4258, detached eclipsing binary distances to LMC and M31, and MW Cepheids with parallaxes), use a weak metallicity prior and no period cut for Cepheids. We find that part of the R11 data is down-weighted by the HPs but that R16 is mostly consistent with expectations for a Gaussian distribution, meaning that there is no need to down-weight the R16 data set. For R16, we find a value of $H_0 = 73.75 \pm 2.11 \, \mathrm{km} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1} \, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ if we use HPs for all data points (including Cepheid stars, supernovae type Ia, and the available anchor distances), which is about 2.6 $σ$ larger than the Planck 2015 value of $H_0 = 67.81 \pm 0.92 \,\mathrm{km}\, \mathrm{s}^{-1} \, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ and about 3.1 $σ$ larger than the updated Planck 2016 value $66.93 \pm 0.62 \,\mathrm{km}\, \mathrm{s}^{-1} \, \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$. We test the effect of different assumptions, and find that the choice of anchor distances affects the final value significantly. If we exclude the Milky Way from the anchors, then the value of $H_0$ decreases. We find however no evident reason to exclude the MW data. The HP method used here avoids subjective rejection criteria for outliers and offers a way to test datasets for unknown systematics.

description: Plasmodium falciparum infection can abruptly progress to severe malaria and cerebral malaria. Despite the current efficiency of antimalarial drugs in killing parasites, no specific effective treatment has been found for cerebral malaria. Thus, a new strategy targeting both parasite elimination and endothelial cell protection is urgently needed in this field. In this study, we determined whether curcumin, which has blood-brain permeability, antioxidative activity and/or immunomodulation property, provided a potential effect on both parasite elimination and endothelial protection. Murine brain microvascular endothelial cells (bEnd.3; ATCC) were cocultured with Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells (Pf-IRBC), peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) and platelets. Apoptosis of endothelial cells was demonstrated by annexin V staining. Interestingly, curcumin exhibited high efficiency of antimalarial activity (IC50~10μM) and decreased bEnd.3 apoptosis down to 60.0% and 79.6% upon pre-treatment and co-treatment, respectively, with Pf-IRBC, platelets and PBMC. Our findings open up a high feasibility of applying curcumin as a potential adjunctive compound for cerebral malaria treatment in the future.

description: This research explored self-care practices, disease knowledge and their association with glycemic control among people with diabetes in Pakistan. Poor glycemic control (Glycated hemoglobin ≥ 7%) was observed in the majority of the patients (83%). Disease knowledge, glucose management, dietary control, and physical activity were significantly associated with patients’ glycemic control. Furthermore, we examined the impact of pharmacist-led diabetes education on clinical outcomes of people with diabetes. The pharmacist-led educational intervention resulted in significant improvement in the self-care practices, disease knowledge, and significant (p<0.01) reduction in the levels of glycated hemoglobin (0.91%) of the patients in the intervention group.

description: Normative Strukturen, Regeln und Normen gehören zum klassischen Instrumentarium und Untersuchungsgegenstand moderner Ethik. Daher überrascht es womöglich, dass ihr der Begriff der Normalität zwar in den unterschiedlichsten Verwendungsweisen geläufig ist, innerhalb der theoretischen Reflexion bislang aber kaum Beachtung erfahren hat. Diese Ambivalenz zwischen gleichzeitiger Sichtbarkeit und Unsichtbarkeit des Begriffs fordert zu einer genaueren Untersuchung, welcher Stellenwert der Normalität im Gesamt der modernen Moraltheologie und -philosophie einzuräumen ist. Die Arbeit nimmt im ersten Teil eine Unterscheidung der Begriffskonzepte Normalismus, Normalisierung und Normalität vor und untersucht mit den Aspekten des Sein-Sollen-Schlusses, der Genese sozialer Ordnung und der Relation von Norm und Abweichung drei zentrale Schnittstellen zwischen Normativität und Normalität, um so eine Einordnung der Normalität in die normative Ethik leisten zu können. Nachdem gezeigt wird, dass Normalität funktional zwar in enger Anlehnung an moderne Vorstellungen von Normativität verstanden werden kann, sich aber immer auch durch die „Supercodierung“ einer ihr vorgängigen Norm auszeichnet, wird in einem zweiten Schritt nach einer Interpretation dieses Befunds gefragt. Mit dem methodischen Instrumentarium der Systemtheorie wird Normalität dabei als Semantik, d.h. als Selbstbeschreibungsform moderner Normativität bestimmt. Diese theoretischen Ergebnisse werden in einem abschließenden Teil auf ihre Bedeutung für die theologische Ethik hin befragt, indem der empirische Charakter der Normalitätssemantik mit der Diskussion um Konsenskriterien innerhalb der Ethik sowie der Bedeutung von Regelabweichungen verbunden wird.

description: We study the Cauchy problem for the chemotaxis Navier-Stokes equations and the Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system. Local-in-time and global-in-time solutions satisfying fundamental properties such as mass conservation and nonnegativity preservation are constructed for low regularity data in $2$ and higher dimensions under suitable conditions. Our initial data classes involve a new scale of function space, that is $\Y(\rn)$ which collects divergence of vector-fields with components in the square Campanato space $\mathscr{L}_{2,N-2}(\rn)$, $N>2$ (and can be identified with the homogeneous Besov space $\dot{B}^{-1}_{22}(\rn)$ when $N=2$) and are shown to be optimal in a certain sense. Moreover, uniqueness criterion for global solutions is obtained under certain limiting conditions.

description: The thesis focuses on the development of new and safe therapeutic agents against leukemia. A new class of highly potent compounds selectively inhibiting growth of leukemic cells, without any observable harm to normal cells, was discovered. Initially, a series of the compounds was prepared and tested to build a structure-activity relationship model. This model was used to design molecules with a greater antileukemic potential. These compounds were prepared and explored. Being two orders more potent in the inhibition of leukemic cell growth that modern chemotherapeutic medicines, these compounds demonstrated a promising profile for the further development as future therapeutic agents.

description: This research is conducted to assess the practice of project management knowledge areas and challenges in implementing ICT projects in Ethio-Telecom. To achieve this purpose questionnaire were distributed among 100 Telecom Expansion Projects employee participated in the implementation of these projects and selected using simple random sampling. Apart from survey questionnaires, interview with project managers and document reviews were also conducted. Finally, the collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics by applying SPSS. Project scope management, project time management, project quality management, project risk management, project communication and project stakeholders knowledge area are highly practiced during the implementation of the ICT projects whereas project integration management project time management and project procurement management knowledge areas are practiced at low level lack of relevant training and procurement delay were the main challenges during the implementation of the ICT projects . Therefore, it's recommended that the organization should give special attention to the least practiced knowledge area i.e. project integration management, project cost management, project human resource management and project procurement management knowledge areas. The company should introduce different systems/ tools such as project management software as it is very important in implementing the ICT projects. In addition, the organization should introduce and strengthen project management office. This office helps in practicing the project management knowledge areas (PMI, 2013).

description: A finite discrete graph is turned into a quantum (metric) graph once a finite length is assigned to each edge and the one-dimensional Laplacian is taken to be the operator. We study the dependence of the spectral gap (the first positive Laplacian eigenvalue) on the choice of edge lengths. In particular, starting from a certain discrete graph, we seek the quantum graph for which an optimal (either maximal or minimal) spectral gap is obtained. We fully solve the minimization problem for all graphs. We develop tools for investigating the maximization problem and solve it for some families of graphs.

description: Any material in thermal equilibrium exhibits fundamental thermodynamic fluctuations of its mechanical and optical properties. Such thermodynamic fluctuations of length, elastic constants, and refractive index of amorphous materials -- like dielectric mirror coatings and substrates -- limit the performance of today's most precise optical instruments. Crystalline materials are increasingly employed in optical systems because of their reduced mechanical dissipation, which implies a reduction of thermo-mechanical fluctuations. However, the anisotropy of the crystalline state implies a fundamental source of thermal noise: depolarization induced by thermal fluctuations of its birefringence. We establish the theory of this effect, elucidate its consequences, discuss its relevance for precision optical experiments with crystalline materials, and hint at the conditions under which it can be evaded.

description: Caustics occur widely in dynamics and take on shapes classified by catastrophe theory. At finite wavelengths they produce interference patterns containing networks of vortices (phase singularities). Here we investigate caustics in quantized fields, focusing on the collective dynamics of quantum spins. We show that, following a quench, caustics are generated in the Fock space amplitudes specifying the many-body configuration and which are accessible in experiments with cold atoms, ions or photons. The granularity of quantum fields removes all singularities, including phase singularities, converting point vortices into nonlocal vortices that annihilate in pairs as the quantization scale is increased. Furthermore, the continuous scaling laws of wave catastrophes are replaced by discrete versions. Such `quantum catastrophes' are expected to be universal dynamical features of quantized fields.

description: Chemotherapy is used extensively for inhibiting the growth of tumors or reducing tumor size. However, most of the potential and existing drugs are poorly water soluble, which greatly limits their practical application. In this thesis, effects were made to develop new drug delivery systems from porous silicon nanomaterials and polymers for cancer treatments. The hydrophobic camptothecin was chosen as a model anticancer drug. Due to the pore confinement of nanomaterials, drug solubility could be improved and sustained drug release was achieved. Porous silicon incorporated with polymer and active targeting peptide could maintain colloidal stability and enhance cell killing.

description: In the first part of this article, we prove two-sided estimates of hitting probabilities of balls, the potential kernel and the Green function for a ball for general isotropic unimodal Lévy processes. Our bounds are sharp under the absence of the Gaussian component and a mild regularity condition on the density of the Lévy measure: its radial profile needs to satisfy a scaling-type condition, which is equivalent to $O$-regular variation at zero and at infinity with lower indices greater than $-d - 2$. We also prove a supremum estimate and a regularity result for functions harmonic with respect to a general isotropic unimodal Lévy process. In the second part we apply the recent results on the boundary Harnack inequality and Martin representation of harmonic functions for the class of isotropic unimodal Lévy processes characterised by a localised version of the scaling-type condition mentioned above. As a sample application, we provide sharp two-sided estimates of the Green function of a half-space. Our results are expressed in terms of Pruitt's functions $K(r)$ and $L(r)$, measuring local activity and the amount of large jumps of the Lévy process, respectively.

Existing methods for multi-task learning cannot be applied to compositional data due to their intrinsic properties. In this paper, we propose a multi-task learning method for compositional data using a sparse network lasso. We focus on a symmetric form of the log-contrast model, which is a regression model with compositional covariates. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through simulation studies and application to gut microbiome data.

description: This work is concerned with camera pose estimation from correspondences of 3D/2D lines, i. e. with the Perspective-n-Line (PnL) problem. We focus on large line sets, which can be efficiently solved by methods using linear formulation of PnL. We propose a novel method "DLT-Combined-Lines" based on the Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) algorithm, which benefits from a new combination of two existing DLT methods for pose estimation. The method represents 2D structure by lines, and 3D structure by both points and lines. The redundant 3D information reduces the minimum required line correspondences to 5. A cornerstone of the method is a combined projection matri xestimated by the DLT algorithm. It contains multiple estimates of camera rotation and translation, which can be recovered after enforcing constraints of the matrix. Multiplicity of the estimates is exploited to improve the accuracy of the proposed method. For large line sets (10 and more), the method is comparable to the state-of-theart in accuracy of orientation estimation. It achieves state-of-the-art accuracy in estimation of camera position and it yields the smallest reprojection error under strong image noise. The method achieves top-3 results on real world data. The proposed method is also highly computationally effective, estimating the pose of 1000 lines in 12 ms on a desktop computer.

description: A group-theoretical structure in a perturbative expansion of the Wilson loops in the 3d Chern-Simons theory with $SU(N)$ gauge group is studied in symmetric approach. A special basis in the center of the universal enveloping algebra $ZU(\mathfrak{sl}_N)$ is introduced. This basis allows one to present group factors in an arbitrary irreducible finite-dimensional representation. Developed methods have wide applications, the most straightforward and evident ones are mentioned. Namely, Vassiliev invariants of higher orders are computed, a conjecture about existence of new symmetries of the colored HOMFLY polynomials is stated, and the recently discovered tug-the-hook symmetry of the colored HOMFLY polynomial is proved.

description: The proper vertex amplitude is derived from the EPRL vertex by restricting to a single gravitational sector in order to achieve the correct semi-classical behaviour. We apply the proper vertex to calculate a cosmological transition amplitude that can be viewed as the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction. To perform this calculation we deduce the integral form of the proper vertex and use extended stationary phase methods to estimate the large-volume limit. We show that the resulting amplitude satisfies an operator constraint whose classical analogue is the Hamiltonian constraint of the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology. We find that the constraint dynamically selects the relevant family of coherent states and demonstrate a similar dynamic selection in standard quantum mechanics. We investigate the effects of dynamical selection on long-range correlations.

description: The antifungal potential of essential oil and ethanolic leaf extracts of Lonicera japonica Thunb. was evaluated for controlling the growth of dermatophytes. The oil (1,000 ppm) and extracts (1,500 ppm) of L. japonica revealed 55.1–70.3 % and 40.1–65.5 % antidermatophytic effect against Microsporum canis KCTC 6348, 6349, 6591, Trichophyton rubrum KCTC 6345, 6352, 6375, Trichophyton mentagrophytes KCTC 6077 and 6085, respectively, along with their respective minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 62.5-500 and 125-1,000 μg/ml. Also, the oil had strong detrimental effect on spore germination of all the tested dermatophytes as well as concentration and time-dependent kinetic inhibition of M. canis KCTC 6348. The results demonstrated that L. japonica oil and extracts could be potential sources of natural fungicides to protect human and animals from fungal infections.

description: The increased interest in deep learning applications, and their hard-to-detect biases result in the need to validate and explain complex models. However, current explanation methods are limited as far as both the explanation of the reasoning process and prediction results are concerned. They usually only show the location in the image that was important for model prediction. The lack of possibility to interact with explanations makes it difficult to verify and understand exactly how the model works. This creates a significant risk when using the model. The risk is compounded by the fact that explanations do not take into account the semantic meaning of the explained objects. To escape from the trap of static and meaningless explanations, we propose a tool and a process called LIMEcraft. LIMEcraft enhances the process of explanation by allowing a user to interactively select semantically consistent areas and thoroughly examine the prediction for the image instance in case of many image features. Experiments on several models show that our tool improves model safety by inspecting model fairness for image pieces that may indicate model bias.

On the use of the Padé-Fourier approximation in fast evaluation of the Green's function of layered media

description: Efficient Green's function evaluation in layered media is a holy-grail of wave theory in general and for electromagnetics in particular. While there is a very large amount of knowledge in this context with vast literature, there are yet challenging cases such as the Green's function in thick lossy media and the Green's function at thick media with negative parameters. Here we propose a technique that can nicely tackle these issues. Our approach is based on a rational function approximation of the spectra using the Fourier-Padé approximation that is carried out in a conformal mapped spectral plane. We show that this approach can be used in challenging scenarios such as very thick and lossy layers, materials with negative parameters such as in plasmonics, and even to approximate a dominant branch-cut contribution far from the source.

description: Recent research suggests that the supercritical state consists of liquidlike and gaslike states where particle dynamics and key system properties are qualitatively different. We report experimental evidence of the structural crossover in supercritical neon at pressure and temperature conditions significantly exceeding the critical point values: 250$\,P_c$ and 6.6$\,T_c$. The experimental results show a crossover of the medium-range order structure evidenced by the change of the structure factor with pressure. We also observe the crossover of the short-range order structure indicated by changes in the coordination number. The relative width of the crossover is fairly narrow and is smaller than 10-12 \% in pressure and temperature. By comparing our experimental results with molecular dynamics simulations, we suggest that the observed crossover can be attributed to the Frenkel line and discuss the relationship between the structural crossover and qualitative changes of dynamical and thermodynamic properties of supercritical matter.

description: Motivated by the proposed time-delayed cosmology in the primordial inflationary era, we consider the application of the delayed Friedmann equation in the late-time Universe and explore some of its observable consequences. We study the background evolution predicted by the delayed Friedmann equation and determine the growth of Newtonian perturbations in this delayed background. We reveal smoking-gun imprints of time-delayed cosmology that can be traced to derivative discontinuities generic in delay differential equations. We show that a late-time cosmic delay is statistically consistent with Hubble expansion rate and growth data. Based on these observables, we compute a nonzero best estimate for the time delay parameter and find that the Bayesian evidence does not strongly rule out a late-time time delay but warrants the subject further study.

description: The thesis describes development of a novel method for the synthesis of 1,3,5-triazines and their evaluation as anticancer agents. An efficient one-pot protocol for the synthesis of such compounds includes a three-component condensation, Dimroth rearrangement and dehydrogenative aromatization under microwave irradiation. In the prepared series, compounds highly potent and selective towards triple negative breast cancer cells and without observable toxicity towards normal cells were identified. A quantitative structure activity relationship model was developed to reliably predict anticancer properties for the compounds of interest and to design new more potent agents.
Project Procurement Management Practice In Bank Of Abyssinia

description: This study tries to identify the practice of project procurement management in Bank of Abyssinia .The researcher has used descriptive research method .The data collection tools were questionnaires and interview. The sample size of the study was 27 individuals selected through purposive sampling. The response rate was 100%.The sample size was selected through purposive sampling and questionnaires with items of 34 were distributed to employees who have been directly or indirectly involved in procurement practice of the Bank's projects. The findings of the study revealed that less consideration is given to project schedule in procurement planning. Also make or buy analysis is not done to determine the procurement decision. Pre meeting or bidder conference is not conducted with vendors prior to submittal of bid or proposal. Also conducting inspection and auditing is not commonly practiced and regular review is not carried out to evaluate procurement performance progress of vendor. Generally, the outcome of the research confirmed that project procurement management practice is implemented to some extent but there is a gap between the theory of project procurement management and the actual practices. Therefore, possible recommendations are outlined at the end of this project work on what actions should be taken to improve this practice.
