Creators: name: Alferid, Semira
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Measuring service quality in higher education has become important to determine students' level of satisfaction. This paper mainly focus on the effect of service quality on student's satisfaction in Addis Ababa private higher education institutions with the specific objective of identifying the service quality dimensions used by students to evaluate the quality of service offered by the private higher education institutions. The researcher used explanatory research design and questionnaires were administered to gather data. Quantitative research approach was conducted to collect information from primary sources .Samples of 374 students from the four private universities in Addis Ababa was contacted. Out of the 374 questionnaires distributed, 360 were deemed valid. The collected data was analyzed through SPPS version 20.0 .The scale constructed to measure the HEdPERF service quality included Academic Aspects, Non-academic Aspects, Program Issues, Reputation and Access. The methods used in data analysis include descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. The findings established that Non-academic Aspects, Program Issues, Reputation and Access proved to be very essential and are predictors of students satisfactions of Higher Education Institutions (HEI) particularly in the case of private institutions in Addis Ababa .On the contrary Academic Aspects had positive but no significant influence on students satisfaction. Non -academic aspect, program issues, reputation and access have high effect on students' satisfaction so PHEI should give priority to these aspects. Overall students' satisfaction was found to be positively explained by the sum of the five independent variables by 66.4 % in the study .According to the finding of the study Reputation and Academic Aspects dimension of HEdPERF have shown average mean score. This study contributes to the scant literature testing the applicability of service quality in the educational sector specifically in Ethiopia.

description: We investigate the possibility of excitonic superfluidity in electron-hole bilayers. We calculate the phase diagram of the system for the whole range of electron-hole density imbalance and for different degrees of electrostatic screening, using mean-field theory and a Ginzburg-Landau expansion. We are able to resolve differences on previous work in the literature which concentrated on restricted regions of the parameter space. We also give detailed descriptions of the pairing wavefunction in the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov paired state. The Ginzburg-Landau treatment allows us to investigate the energy scales involved in the pairing state and discuss the possible spontaneous breaking of two-dimensional translation symmetry in the ground state.

description: Let $σ$ be a permutation on $n$ letters. We say that a permutation $τ$ is an even (resp. odd) $k$th root of $σ$ if $τ^k=σ$ and $τ$ is an even (resp. odd) permutation. In this article, we obtain generating functions for the number of even and odd $k$th roots of permutations. Our result implies know generating functions of Moser and Wyman and also some generating functions for sequences in The On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS).

description: We present results on the variation of 7.7 micron Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) emission in galaxies spanning a wide range in metallicity at z ~ 2. For this analysis, we use rest-frame optical spectra of 476 galaxies at 1.37 < z < 2.61 from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey to infer metallicities and ionization states. Spitzer/MIPS 24 micron and Herschel/PACS 100 and 160 micron observations are used to derive rest-frame 7.7 micron luminosities (L(7.7)) and total IR luminosities (L(IR)), respectively. We find significant trends between the ratio of L(7.7) to L(IR) (and to dust-corrected SFR) and both metallicity and [OIII]/[OII] (O32) emission-line ratio. The latter is an empirical proxy for the ionization parameter. These trends indicate a paucity of PAH emission in low metallicity environments with harder and more intense radiation fields. Additionally, L(7.7)/L(IR) is significantly lower in the youngest quartile of our sample (ages of 500 Myr) compared to older galaxies, which may be a result of the delayed production of PAHs by AGB stars. The relative strength of L(7.7) to L(IR) is also lower by a factor of ~ 2 for galaxies with masses $M_* < 10^{10}M_{\odot}$, compared to the more massive ones. We demonstrate that commonly-used conversions of L(7.7) (or 24 micron flux density; f(24)) to L(IR) underestimate the IR luminosity by more than a factor of 2 at $M_*$ ~ $10^{9.6-10.0} M_{\odot}$. We adopt a mass-dependent conversion of L(7.7) to L(IR) with L(7.7)/L(IR)= 0.09 and 0.22 for $M_* < 10^{10}$ and $> 10^{10} M_{\odot}$, respectively. Based on the new scaling, the SFR-$M_*$ relation has a shallower slope than previously derived. Our results also suggest a higher IR luminosity density at z ~ 2 than previously measured, corresponding to a ~ 30% increase in the SFR density.

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

description: Customer loyalty is one of the most important issues organizations face today. Considering highly competitive, complex and dynamic environment of the banking industry together with slight differences which exist in financial products and services, brands become a key differentiator to enable the bank to gain a competitive advantage in the industry. Accordingly, it has become increasingly important for the banks to identify the factors that keep their customers brand loyal to them. Therefore, the present study focuses to comprehensively identify and measure the most important determinants of the brand loyalty in Ethiopian banking industry. To meet the purpose of the study, Explanatory, cross sectional, quantitative survey method is used. The population in this research consist only individuals who have experience using banking services in any one of the Ethiopian banks. Considering the large population of bank service users, a convenience sampling method is used to collect data in view of time and cost constraints and a sample size of 384 is selected from the defined target population accordingly among 384 sample only 297 are correctly respond. The data collection process is done using self-administered questionnaire filled by customers and it has taken place in different branch premises of the selected banks. A three –page standardized survey questionnaire was employed. Descriptive analysis, reliability analysis and correlation analysis are used for purpose of analyzing the data. The correlation study showed that there is a positive relationship between all of the variables considered under the study. The percentages of responses for each question along with their respective mean value confirm that influences switching cost, service quality, reputation and commitment are less important factors and they have week influence on Brand loyalty of banking customers whereas Customer Satisfaction and Trust are the most important factors and have a strong influence on Brand loyalty of banking customers. Given the findings, it is recommended that management should focus their managerial actions on the more important brand loyalty influences first, once these render the best results, managerial input can focus on those influences of lower importance.

description: We report extensive numerical simulations of growth models belonging to the nonlinear molecular beam epitaxy (nMBE) class, on flat (fixed-size) and expanding substrates (ES). In both $d=1+1$ and $2+1$, we find that growth regime height distributions (HDs), and spatial and temporal covariances are universal, but are dependent on the initial conditions, while the critical exponents are the same for flat and ES systems. Thus, the nMBE class does split into subclasses, as does the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class. Applying the "KPZ ansatz" to nMBE models, we estimate the cumulants of the $1+1$ HDs. Spatial covariance for the flat subclass is hallmarked by a minimum, which is not present in the ES one. Temporal correlations are shown to decay following well-known conjectures.

description: In the study of 2d (the space dimension) topological orders, it is well-known that bulk excitations are classified by unitary modular tensor categories. But these categories only describe the local observables on an open 2-disk in the long wave length limit. For example, the notion of braiding only makes sense locally. It is natural to ask how to obtain global observables on a closed surface. The answer is provided by the theory of factorization homology. We compute the factorization homology of a closed surface $Σ$ with the coefficient given by a unitary modular tensor category, and show that the result is given by a pair $(\mathbf{H}, u_Σ)$, where $\mathbf{H}$ is the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and $u_Σ\in \mathbf{H}$ is a distinguished object that coincides precisely with the Hilbert space assigned to the surface $Σ$ in Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT. We also generalize this result to a closed stratified surface decorated by anomaly-free topological defects of codimension 0,1,2. This amounts to compute the factorization homology of a stratified surface with a coefficient system satisfying an anomaly-free condition.

description: Perfect graphs form one of the distinguished classes of finite simple graphs. In 2006, Chudnovsky, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas proved that a graph is perfect if and only if it has no odd holes and no odd antiholes as induced subgraphs, which was conjectured by Berge. We consider the class ${\mathcal A}$ of graphs that have no odd holes, no antiholes and no odd stretchers as induced subgraphs. In particular, every graph belonging to ${\mathcal A}$ is perfect. Everett and Reed conjectured that a graph belongs to ${\mathcal A}$ if and only if it is perfectly contractile. In the present paper, we discuss graphs belonging to ${\mathcal A}$ from a viewpoint of commutative algebra. In fact, we conjecture that a perfect graph $G$ belongs to ${\mathcal A}$ if and only if the toric ideal of the stable set polytope of $G$ is generated by quadratic binomials. Especially, we show that this conjecture is true for Meyniel graphs, perfectly orderable graphs, and clique separable graphs, which are perfectly contractile graphs.

description: Species respond idiosyncratically to environmental variation, which may generate phenological mismatches. We assess the consequences of such mismatches for solitary bees. During 9 years, we studied flowering phenology and nesting phenology and demography of five wood-nesting solitary bee species representing a broad gradient of specialization/generalization in the use of floral resources. We found that the reproductive performance and population growth rate of bees tended to be lower with increasing nesting–flowering mismatches, except for the most generalized bee species. Our findings help elucidate the role of phenological mismatches for the demography of wild pollinators, which perform key ecosystem functions and provide important services for humanity. Furthermore, if climate change increases phenological mismatches in this system, we expect negative consequences of climate change for specialist bees.

description: Passive and active exposure to tobacco smoking among youth is directly associated with immediate as well as long-term health deterioration. Despite all public health policies and efforts, the percentage of teenage smokers is still relatively high, especially in developing countries. Very few, if any, studies have been done on the transgenerational effect of nicotine exposed during the more sensitive, early developmental stages. We employed C. elegans as a biological model to study the multigenerational impact of chronic nicotine exposure. Nicotine treatment was limited to N2 hermaphrodites of the F0 generation. Exposure was limited to the larval period L1-L4 (~31 hours) after which worms were transferred to a fresh NGM plate. N2 hermaphrodites at L4 developmental stage were used for behavioral analysis across three generations: F0, F1, and F2. Our results show that nicotine was associated with changes in sinusoidal locomotion, speed, and body bends in L4 larvae in all three tested generations. These behavioral alterations were not restricted to F0, but were observed in F1 and F2 generations which were never exposed to nicotine. Our study is the first to reveal that nicotine addiction is heritable using C. elegans as a model organism. These results underscored the sensitivity of early development stages, with hope to spread more awareness to encourage the avoidance of nicotine exposure, especially at a young age.

description: This paper investigates the broadband channel estimation (CE) for intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided millimeter-wave (mmWave) massive MIMO systems. The CE for such systems is a challenging task due to the large dimension of both the active massive MIMO at the base station (BS) and passive IRS. To address this problem, this paper proposes a compressive sensing (CS)-based CE solution for IRS-aided mmWave massive MIMO systems, whereby the angular channel sparsity of large-scale array at mmWave is exploited for improved CE with reduced pilot overhead. Specifically, we first propose a downlink pilot transmission framework. By designing the pilot signals based on the prior knowledge that the line-of-sight dominated BS-to-IRS channel is known, the high-dimensional channels for BS-to-user and IRS-to-user can be jointly estimated based on CS theory. Moreover, to efficiently estimate broadband channels, a distributed orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is exploited, where the common sparsity shared by the channels at different subcarriers is utilized. Additionally, the redundant dictionary to combat the power leakage is also designed for the enhanced CE performance. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

The Assessment of Addis Ababa Housing Development project with particular Reference to Delays and Constraints in its Implementation: the Case of HDPO
Creators: name: Kifle, Zerihun
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Housing projects have an impact on personal, socio-economic as well as political conditions. As a result, it is essential to assess the actual causes of delay and constraint in order to minimize the delays and their corresponding costs and time. Successful completion of projects leads to socio economic growth and helps to provide good social welfare. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the main causes of delays and constraints as well as effects of delays in AAHDPO project. The study were used both Primary and secondary data sources to collect the necessary information. Two type of sampling techniques were used namely random and purposive sampling. Two Projects specifically Koye feche (10/90) and Kileto (20/80) were selected randomly based on the lists from HDPO office. The respondents were contractors, consultants and clients who worked in the Koye-feche and Kileto projects. The structured questionnaire in Likert scale was distributed and collected at a selected site of the case study. There are many causes that induce delay in HDPO construction projects. Before identifying the causes of delays the study was to test whether delay in HDPO had been found/ existing or not. From the above sample survey results understand that more than 78.18 percent of the respondents agreed the HDPO construction is exposed to delay. Moreover, Interviews conducted with some of the officials in HDPO indicated that delay is the main challenge for construction projects. The relative important index (RII) was computed for each cause to identify the most significant causes and later the causes of delays were ranked based on the RII; results showed that the ten critical factors that contribute to project delays in HDPO are; delays in the payment for services, Shortages in basic materials, Slow decision making by all functional group, inaccurate cost and time estimate, poor infrastructure development, poor capacity of contractor and sub-contractor, Poor risk management and inadequate financial availability as planned through project duration. The critical effects of delays are time overrun, cost overrun, litigation/ legal action, Public dissatisfaction or loss of belief of citizen, termination and disputes. After the causes and effects could be observed and provide a clue to minimizing delay on construction sites. This study has also delivered recommendation, all of that will assist client organizations to curb the problems associated with delays and constraints in its project implementation. Key words: constraints, delay, cause, effect, mitigation, construction, project implementation

description: Data taking values on discrete sample spaces are the embodiment of modern biological research. "Omics" experiments produce millions of symbolic outcomes in the form of reads (i.e., DNA sequences of a few dozens to a few hundred nucleotides). Unfortunately, these intrinsically non-numerical datasets are often highly contaminated, and the possible sources of contamination are usually poorly characterized. This contrasts with numerical datasets where Gaussian-type noise is often well-justified. To overcome this hurdle, we introduce the notion of latent weight, which measures the largest expected fraction of samples from a contaminated probabilistic source that conform to a model in a well-structured class of desired models. We examine various properties of latent weights, which we specialize to the class of exchangeable probability distributions. As proof of concept, we analyze DNA methylation data from the 22 human autosome pairs. Contrary to what it is usually assumed, we provide strong evidence that highly specific methylation patterns are overrepresented at some genomic locations when contamination is taken into account.

As a basis, an Integrated Theoretical Framework (ITF) is developed, which includes theories from healthcare, information systems, and psychology perspectives to study the intention to use. The ITF is applied to study individual decision-making behavior for different decisions and different levels of risk.

description: Understanding factors influencing the adoption and subsequent diffusion of solar lighting products at the household level is crucial to creating access to sustainable renewable energy sources for rural communities. This study therefore is conducted with the main objective of identifying factors that affect solar lighting products adoption in rural villages of Ethiopia particularly in Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Addis Ababa. The study is tuned to Rogers' perceived attributes of innovation constructs, namely relative advantage, compatibility with needs, compatibility with values and experiences, complexity, observability, and trialability in determining their effect on intention to adopt solar lighting products. A cross-sectional survey design was employed. Respondents were selected using cluster sampling method from each weredas of the special zone and a convenient sample of 384 off-grid household heads were selected for the study. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The finding revealed that there are positive and significant relationships between the predictor variables: relative advantage, compatibility with values & experiences, complexity and observability; and the dependent variable adoption intention; whereas, negative and significant relationship observed between the rest two predictor variables: compatibility with needs and Trialability; and the dependent variable: adoption intention. Therefore, the study forwarded valuable recommendations for governmental organizations, solar lighting products' promoters, traders, and other stakeholders to take appropriate actions in the aim of uplifting the adoption and diffusion rates of solar lighting products in rural villages of Ethiopia.

description: We prove various converse theorems for automorphic forms on Γ_0(N), each assuming fewer twisted functional equations than the last. We show that no twisting at all is needed for holomorphic modular forms in the case that N is 18, 20, or 24 - these integers are the smallest multiples of 4 or 9 not covered by earlier work of Conrey-Farmer. This development is a consequence of finding generating sets for Γ_0(N) such that each generator can be written as a product of special matrices. As for real-analytic Maass forms of even (resp. odd) weight we prove the analogous statement for N=1,...12,16,18 (resp. N=1,...,12,14,15,16,17,18,20,23,24).

description: We establish that the existence of a winning strategy in certain topological games, closely related to a strong game of Choquet, played in a topological space $X$ and its hyperspace $K(X)$ of all nonempty compact subsets of $X$ equipped with the Vietoris topology, is equivalent for one of the players. For a separable metrizable space $X$, we identify a game-theoretic condition equivalent to $K(X)$ being hereditarily Baire. It implies quite easily a recent result of Gartside, Medini and Zdomskyy that characterizes hereditary Baire property of hyperspaces $K(X)$ over separable metrizable spaces $X$ via the Menger property of the remainder of a compactification of $X$. Subsequently, we use topological games to study hereditary Baire property in spaces of probability measures and in hyperspaces over filters on natural numbers. To this end, we introduce a notion of strong $P$-filter $\mathcal{F}$ and prove that it is equivalent to $K(\mathcal{F})$ being hereditarily Baire. We also show that if $X$ is separable metrizable and $K(X)$ is hereditarily Baire, then the space $P_r(X)$ of Borel probability Radon measures on $X$ is hereditarily Baire too. It follows that there exists (in ZFC) a separable metrizable space $X$ which is not completely metrizable with $P_r(X)$ hereditarily Baire. As far as we know this is the first example of this kind.
The Yield Curve Dynamics and Forecasting: A Comparison between the US and China
Creators: name: Sun, Mingyang
Publisher: name: University of Chicago

Subjects: subject: yield curve forecast
subject: Nelson–Siegel
subject: dynamic model
subject: high-frequency data

description: The yield curve contains a lot of important information for asset pricing, financial risk management, portfolio allocation, monetary policy implementation, and so on. Despite the prevalence of dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) models in capturing yield curve dynamics, comparatively little attention has been paid to forecasting the yield curve with high-frequency daily data. In this thesis, I explore the DNS models with different specifications using both U.S. and Chinese treasury bonds' monthly and daily data. Different estimation methods are employed, including a one-step DNS that applies a Kalman filter and a two-step DNS approach. Based on these models, comparisons of the characteristics and phenomena in both markets are made as well. I find that the in-sample fit of the DNS models is excellent with small root mean squared errors. I find strong evidence of the effects of variation in the slope factor on monetary policy variables and evidence for a reverse influence is not as strong. Forecasts with high-frequency data have higher predictive power for bonds with different maturities in both U.S. and Chinese markets. The inverted yield curve is a good indicator of macro risks in the U.S. financial market, but it has little correlation with economic recessions in the Chinese market.

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

description: The purpose of this study is to assess the human resource management practices of Addis Ababa University with particular reference to administrative staff. It covered employee performance appraisal, training and promotion practices of the university. The study adopted a mixed research approach and made use of both primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected from the concerned university officials through semi-structured interviews and from 129 administrative staff members selected from four colleges and the central administration through questionnaire survey. A simple random sampling was used to select respondents from the four colleges, while employees from the central administration were purposely included in the sample. The data gathered through questionnaire survey, mainly using 5-point Likert scale items, were analyzed using statistical techniques (such as frequency distribution, mean rank and Chi-square test), the results of the analyses were presented using tables, and the findings were interpreted and discussed using qualitative narrations. The findings of the study indicated that there is no sound performance appraisal system for administrative staff in the university, the process of employee training was found to be unsystematic and employee promotion process of the university was also not adequately fair and objective. Hence, it has been recommended that the university should improve its human resource management system and practices (i.e. performance appraisal, training and promotion) in order to ensure the availability of efficient and effective administrative staff in all colleges and institutes

description: Along with the development of modern smart cities, human-centric video analysis has been encountering the challenge of analyzing diverse and complex events in real scenes. A complex event relates to dense crowds, anomalous individuals, or collective behaviors. However, limited by the scale and coverage of existing video datasets, few human analysis approaches have reported their performances on such complex events. To this end, we present a new large-scale dataset with comprehensive annotations, named Human-in-Events or HiEve (Human-centric video analysis in complex Events), for the understanding of human motions, poses, and actions in a variety of realistic events, especially in crowd & complex events. It contains a record number of poses (>1M), the largest number of action instances (>56k) under complex events, as well as one of the largest numbers of trajectories lasting for longer time (with an average trajectory length of >480 frames). Based on its diverse annotation, we present two simple baselines for action recognition and pose estimation, respectively. They leverage cross-label information during training to enhance the feature learning in corresponding visual tasks. Experiments show that they could boost the performance of existing action recognition and pose estimation pipelines. More importantly, they prove the widely ranged annotations in HiEve can improve various video tasks. Furthermore, we conduct extensive experiments to benchmark recent video analysis approaches together with our baseline methods, demonstrating HiEve is a challenging dataset for human-centric video analysis. We expect that the dataset will advance the development of cutting-edge techniques in human-centric analysis and the understanding of complex events. The dataset is available at http://humaninevents.org

description: We study theoretically the dynamics of a Shiba state forming around precessing classical spin in an s-wave superconductor. Utilizing a rotating wave description for the precessing magnetic impurity, we find the resulting Shiba bound state quasi-energy and the spatial extension of the Shiba wavefunction. We show that such a precession pertains to dc charge and spin currents flowing through a normal STM tip tunnel coupled to the superconductor in the vicinity of the impurity. We calculate these currents and find that they strongly depend on the magnetic impurity precession frequency, precession angle, and on the position of the Shiba energy level in the superconducting gap. The resulting charge current is found to be proportional to the difference between the electron and hole wavefunctions of the Shiba state, being a direct measure for such an asymmetry. By dynamically driving the impurity one can infer the spin dependence of the Shiba states in the absence of a spin-polarized STM tip
