description: A limitation for collaborative robots (cobots) is their lack of ability to adapt to human partners, who typically exhibit an immense diversity of behaviors. We present an autonomous framework as a cobot's real-time decision-making mechanism to anticipate a variety of human characteristics and behaviors, including human errors, toward a personalized collaboration. Our framework handles such behaviors in two levels: 1) short-term human behaviors are adapted through our novel Anticipatory Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (A-POMDP) models, covering a human's changing intent (motivation), availability, and capability; 2) long-term changing human characteristics are adapted by our novel Adaptive Bayesian Policy Selection (ABPS) mechanism that selects a short-term decision model, e.g., an A-POMDP, according to an estimate of a human's workplace characteristics, such as her expertise and collaboration preferences. To design and evaluate our framework over a diversity of human behaviors, we propose a pipeline where we first train and rigorously test the framework in simulation over novel human models. Then, we deploy and evaluate it on our novel physical experiment setup that induces cognitive load on humans to observe their dynamic behaviors, including their mistakes, and their changing characteristics such as their expertise. We conduct user studies and show that our framework effectively collaborates non-stop for hours and adapts to various changing human behaviors and characteristics in real-time. That increases the efficiency and naturalness of the collaboration with a higher perceived collaboration, positive teammate traits, and human trust. We believe that such an extended human adaptation is key to the long-term use of cobots.

Year: 2018

description: It is almost given that conflict is inevitable in the relation between individuals and groups. Workplaces are not exceptions in this regard. Yet, the occurrence of conflict by itself is no more considered a problem as far as it is managed effectively. In line with this, this study explored the practices of conflict management styles at Arts Media Production. In doing so, attempt has been made to examine the different sorts of interpersonal and interdepartmental conflicts that frequently happen in the operation process of the project and how they are managed. As a result, the findings of the study revealed that the major interpersonal and interdepartmental conflicts that occur in the project are the ones that are structural and socio-cognitive driven conflicts. It was further found out that the project managers tend to apply mainly accommodating and avoiding conflict management styles. However, avoiding have turned out to make employees dissatisfied which resulted in a high staff turnover. This in turn affected the overall performance of the project negatively. Therefore, in order to increase the commitment of the staff, the management should consider of applying a better conflict management style.

description: Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is an essential step in computational model validation because assessment of the model accuracy requires a concrete, quantifiable measure of uncertainty in the model predictions. The concept of UQ in the nuclear community generally means forward UQ (FUQ), in which the information flow is from the inputs to the outputs. Inverse UQ (IUQ), in which the information flow is from the model outputs and experimental data to the inputs, is an equally important component of UQ but has been significantly underrated until recently. FUQ requires knowledge in the input uncertainties which has been specified by expert opinion or user self-evaluation. IUQ is defined as the process to inversely quantify the input uncertainties based on experimental data. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive and comparative discussion of the major aspects of the IUQ methodologies that have been used on the physical models in system thermal-hydraulics codes. IUQ methods can be categorized by three main groups: frequentist (deterministic), Bayesian (probabilistic), and empirical (design-of-experiments). We used eight metrics to evaluate an IUQ method, including solidity, complexity, accessibility, independence, flexibility, comprehensiveness, transparency, and tractability. Twelve IUQ methods are reviewed, compared, and evaluated based on these eight metrics. Such comparative evaluation will provide a good guidance for users to select a proper IUQ method based on the IUQ problem under investigation.

description: We propose an outlier robust and distributions-free test for the explosive AR(1) model with intercept based on simplicial depth. In this model, simplicial depth reduces to counting the cases where three residuals have alternating signs. Using this, it is shown that the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic is given by an integrated two-dimensional Gaussian process. Conditions for the consistency of the test are given and the power of the test at finite samples is compared with five alternative tests, using errors with normal distribution, contaminated normal distribution, and Frechet distribution in a simulation study. The comparisons show that the new test outperforms all other tests in the case of skewed errors and outliers. Although here we deal with the AR(1) model with intercept only, the asymptotic results hold for any simplicial depth which reduces to alternating signs of three residuals.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: This qualitative study has investigated the current level of adoption the Agile software project management methods at the private banking industry in Ethiopia and the challenges faced by the software development teams at the banks. The current 16 private banks in Ethiopia have been grouped into three categories using the decades of their year of establishments, and from each category, 3 banks were selected at random using the lottery method giving a total sample size of 9. Two sets of questionnaires have been used with one questionnaire distributed to the software development team members and the other distributed to the development teams' managers. Among the 9 banks, complete data was received from 7 banks with total individual responses of 30. The gathered data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis of the data shows that there is a low prevalence of application of agile methods at the private banks in Ethiopia with only 2 out of the 7 participating banks (28%) in the process of adopting the Scrum Agile method and with the remaining 5 (72%) still using the traditional waterfall method. There are several challenges that face the banks from adopting the agile method and these are presented in three categories as customer-related, team-related and management-related. Customer-related challenges include inconsistent requirements, lack of timely feedback, resistance to change, and lack of full commitment to the process. Team-related challenges include reluctance to work in a team, lack of experience, handling of helpdesk requests while working in software development and departure of experienced team members. Management-related challenges include setting unreasonably short deadlines, de-prioritization of ongoing projects out of work, not specifying standard software development tools and frameworks, absence of general long-term ICT Development strategic plan specific to the improvement of the software development process. In conclusion, there is a very low level of adoption of the agile methodology in the private banking sector in Ethiopia with only 28% of the banks attempting the move to the Scrum method while the remaining 72% is planning to adopt an agile method in the future and still using the traditional waterfall software development methodology.

description: Systematic differences exist between values of the proton's electric form factors in the low-$Q^2$ region extracted by different experimental and theoretical groups, though they are all making use of basically the same electron-proton scattering data. To try understand the source of these differences, we make use of the analytically well-behaved rational (N=1, M=1) function, a predictive function that can be reasonably used for extrapolations at $Q^{2} \rightarrow 0$. First, we test how well this deceptively simple two-parameter function describes the extremely complex and state-of-the-art dispersively improved chiral effective field theory calculations. Second, we carry out a complete re-analysis of the 34 sets of eletron-proton elastic scattering cross-section data of the Mainz A1 Collaboration with its unconstrained 31 normalization parameters up to $Q^{2} = 0.5~{\rm (GeV/c)^{2}}$. We find that subtle shifts in the normalization parameters can result in relatively large changes in the extracted physical qualities. In conclusion, we show that by simply using a well-behaved analytic function, the apparent discrepancy between recent form-factor extractions can be resolved.

description: We investigate the optical and Wide-field Survey Explorer (WISE) colors of "E+A" identified post-starburst galaxies, including a deep analysis on 190 post-starbursts detected in the 2μm All Sky Survey Extended Source Catalog. The post-starburst galaxies appear in both the optical green valley and the WISE Infrared Transition Zone (IRTZ). Furthermore, we find that post-starbursts occupy a distinct region [3.4]-[4.6] vs. [4.6]-[12] WISE colors, enabling the identification of this class of transitioning galaxies through the use of broad-band photometric criteria alone. We have investigated possible causes for the WISE colors of post-starbursts by constructing a composite spectral energy distribution (SED), finding that mid-infrared (4-12μm) properties of post-starbursts are consistent with either 11.3μm polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission, or Thermally Pulsating Asymptotic Giant Branch (TP-AGB) and post-AGB stars. The composite SED of extended post- starburst galaxies with 22μm emission detected with signal to noise >3 requires a hot dust component to produce their observed rising mid-infrared SED between 12 and 22μm. The composite SED of WISE 22μm non-detections (S/N<3), created by stacking 22μm images, is also flat, requiring a hot dust component. The most likely source of this mid-infrared emission of these E+A galaxies is a buried active galactic nucleus. The inferred upper limit to the Eddington ratios of post-starbursts are 1e-2 to 1e-4, with an average of 1e-3. This suggests that AGNs are not radiatively dominant in these systems. This could mean that including selections able to identify active galactic nuclei as part of a search for transitioning and post-starburst galaxies would create a more complete census of the transition pathways taken as a galaxy quenches its star formation.

Towards Improving the Predictive Capability of Computer Simulations by Integrating Inverse Uncertainty Quantification and Quantitative Validation with Bayesian Hypothesis Testing

description: The Best Estimate plus Uncertainty (BEPU) approach for nuclear systems modeling and simulation requires that the prediction uncertainty must be quantified in order to prove that the investigated design stays within acceptance criteria. A rigorous Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) process should simultaneously consider multiple sources of quantifiable uncertainties: (1) parameter uncertainty due to randomness or lack of knowledge; (2) experimental uncertainty due to measurement noise; (3) model uncertainty caused by missing/incomplete physics and numerical approximation errors, and (4) code uncertainty when surrogate models are used. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive framework to integrate results from inverse UQ and quantitative validation to provide robust predictions so that all these sources of uncertainties can be taken into consideration. Inverse UQ quantifies the parameter uncertainties based on experimental data while taking into account uncertainties from model, code and measurement. In the validation step, we use a quantitative validation metric based on Bayesian hypothesis testing. The resulting metric, called the Bayes factor, is then used to form weighting factors to combine the prior and posterior knowledge of the parameter uncertainties in a Bayesian model averaging process. In this way, model predictions will be able to integrate the results from inverse UQ and validation to account for all available sources of uncertainties. This framework is a step towards addressing the ANS Nuclear Grand Challenge on "Simulation/Experimentation" by bridging the gap between models and data.

description: Tension between the Standard Model (SM) and data concerning $b \rightarrow s$ processes has become apparent. Most notoriously, concerning the $R_K$ ratio, which probes lepton non-universality in $b$ decays, and measurements involving the decays $B \rightarrow K^* μ^+ μ^-$ and $B_s \rightarrow ϕμ^+ μ^-$. Careful analysis of a wide range of $b \rightarrow s$ data shows that certain kinds of new physics can significantly ameliorate agreement with experiment. Here, we show that these $b \rightarrow s$ anomalies can be naturally accommodated in the context of Natural Scherk-Schwarz Theories of the Weak Scale -- a class of models designed to address the hierarchy problem. No extra states need to be introduced in order to accommodate these anomalies, and the assumptions required regarding flavor violating couplings are very mild. Moreover, the structure of the theory makes sharp predictions regarding $B$ meson decays into final states including $τ^+ τ^-$ pairs, which will provide a future test of these models.

Year: 2017

description: he general objective of this thesis was assessing the current practices of monitoring and evaluating activities in development projects of Addis Ababa Bureau of Finance and Economic Development. For the achievement of its objective, the study employed descriptive research approach and both primary and secondary data were used. Questionnaires, focus group discussion, interview, and document review were, therefore, used as data collection tools. Furthermore, it employed purposive and judgmental sampling techniques. For data analyzed purpose, the research employed tables, frequency and percentage approaches and examined questionnaires, focus group discussion, observation, review of administrative records, and interview set by AABoFED as development projects monitoring and evaluation gathering tools and techniques. It was found out that efficiency, effectiveness, relevance, impact, sustainability, environment and socio-economic impacts have been employed by the AABOFED as development projects evaluation criteria"s and lack of project evaluation principles and standards, that were not included in monitoring and evaluation manual.AABoFED employed all stages of evaluation and the tasks that were carried out mostly in monthly, quarterly, mid-term and annual bases in planned manner in sector level while at specified bureau level the monitoring and evaluation process were unplanned and irregular. Hence, the study revealed that the most development projects monitoring and evaluation process was participatory involving stakeholders through meetings and discussions held at different stages. The other finding is that there were limited human resources both in terms of quality and quantity to conduct monitoring and evaluation at all levels. Specially, there were no engineers to handle construction projects monitoring and evaluation. Competition over projects resource was also other obstacle identified by this study. The study recommended that conducting development projects outcomes evaluations; reconsidering the human resource structure; Hire qualified and experienced local consultants, providing adequate resources for sector implemented development project coordination office; providing separate plan and allocated separate for M&E; organize documentation of lesson learned during project implementation, and improving its monitoring and evaluation manual by including projects monitoring and evaluation principles and standards were some points

description: The rich phenomena of deformations in neutron-deficient krypton isotopes such as the shape evolution with neutron number and the shape coexistence attract the interests of nuclear physicists for decades. It will be interesting to study such shape phenomena using a novel way, i.e., by thermally exciting the nucleus. So in this work, we develop the finite temperature covariant density functional theory for axially deformed nuclei with the treatment of pairing correlations by BCS approach, and apply this approach for the study of shape evolutions in $^{72,74}$Kr with increasing temperatures. For $^{72}$Kr, with temperature increasing, the nucleus firstly experiences a relatively quick weakening in oblate deformation at temperature $T \sim0.9$ MeV, and then changes from oblate to spherical at $T \sim2.1$ MeV. For $^{74}$Kr, its global minimum locates at quadroupole deformation $β_2 \sim -0.14$ and abruptly changes to spherical at $T\sim 1.7$ MeV. The proton pairing transition occurs at critical temperature 0.6 MeV following the rule $T_c =0.6 Δ_p (0)$ where $Δ_p(0)$ is the proton pairing gap at zero temperature. The signatures of the above pairing transition and shape changes can be found in the curve of the specific heat. The single-particle level evolutions with the temperature are presented.

description: We consider the problem of sampling $n$ numbers from the range $\{1,\ldots,N\}$ without replacement on modern architectures. The main result is a simple divide-and-conquer scheme that makes sequential algorithms more cache efficient and leads to a parallel algorithm running in expected time $\mathcal{O}(n/p+\log p)$ on $p$ processors, i.e., scales to massively parallel machines even for moderate values of $n$. The amount of communication between the processors is very small (at most $\mathcal{O}(\log p)$) and independent of the sample size. We also discuss modifications needed for load balancing, online sampling, sampling with replacement, Bernoulli sampling, and vectorization on SIMD units or GPUs.

description: The lymphatic system plays important roles in maintaining fluid balance, the transport of dietary fat and immune surveillance. The intestinal lymphatic system harbors a large population of immune cells an is therefore a target for immune modulating agents that are used to treat eg. autoimmune diseases or organ transplantation. This thesis has examined a technology that chemically modifies drugs to form prodrugs that mimic the structure of dietary fats and are therefore transported in high concentration into the intestinal lymph. The data presented provides evidence of improved immune suppression using the lipid mimetic prodrug technology.

description: Reinforcement Learning (RL) can be considered as a sequence modeling task: given a sequence of past state-action-reward experiences, an agent predicts a sequence of next actions. In this work, we propose State-Action-Reward Transformer (StARformer) for visual RL, which explicitly models short-term state-action-reward representations (StAR-representations), essentially introducing a Markovian-like inductive bias to improve long-term modeling. Our approach first extracts StAR-representations by self-attending image state patches, action, and reward tokens within a short temporal window. These are then combined with pure image state representations -- extracted as convolutional features, to perform self-attention over the whole sequence. Our experiments show that StARformer outperforms the state-of-the-art Transformer-based method on image-based Atari and DeepMind Control Suite benchmarks, in both offline-RL and imitation learning settings. StARformer is also more compliant with longer sequences of inputs. Our code is available at https://github.com/elicassion/StARformer.

description: Communication over proven-secure quantum channels is potentially one of the most wide-ranging applications of currently developed quantum technologies. It is generally envisioned that in future quantum networks, separated nodes containing stationary solid-state or atomic qubits are connected via the exchange of optical photons over large distances. In this work we explore an intriguing alternative for quantum communication via all-microwave networks. To make this possible, we describe a general protocol for sending quantum states through thermal channels, even when the number of thermal photons in the channel is much larger than one. The protocol can be implemented with state-of-the-art superconducting circuits and enables the transfer of quantum states over distances of ~100 m via microwave transmission lines cooled to only T=4K. This opens up completely new possibilities for quantum communication within and across buildings, and consequently, for the implementation of intra-city quantum networks based on microwave technology only.

description: There is a range of products available which claim to reduce calorie uptake from the diet leading to a reduction in an individual’s weight but they do not have the scientific proof available to support these claims. This thesis examines the influence of silica particles on the digestion and absorption of calories found in food with the aim of producing a new weight-loss pharmaceutical. The results indicate that the addition of silica particles with specific properties are able to reduce the amount of fat and sugar that is digested as well as interferes with their subsequent absorption into the blood. Consequently there is potential for such materials to reduce the amount of fat stored per meal.
The Perceived Knowledge Management Practice in IT Project Stakeholders in case of Ministry of Innovation and Technology, and Information Network Security Agency

description: Knowledge management is revolutionizing the activities of business organizations and decreasing the learning curve in current organizations, and it is giving a vital opportunity by enabling to work more efficiently and maximize productivity by learning from the past. This research is conducted to assess and compare knowledge management practice in IT projects in the Ministry of Innovation and Technology and Information and Network Security Agency of Ethiopian. Quantitative research approaches were followed and this research is more of behavioral science research. None-probability sampling was used and the total population of IT project members, project sponsors and project manager of Ministry of Innovation and Technology (MinT), and Information Network Security Agency (INSA) was considered for this study; SPSS Version 21.0 is used for analyzing quantitative data. Knowledge management is a process of creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization. In this study the process of creating, sharing, using and managing knowledge is assessed in project. Each process of knowledge management (that is creating, sharing, using and managing) is assessed from the perspective of IT project stakeholders. The study categorized the stakeholders in to three which are, project sponsors, project managers and project team member, and studied each knowledge management process from the three project stakeholders' perspective. In addition to that the organization project culture is also assessed. Given the prominence of knowledge to efficiency and productivity, it is important that organizations manage their knowledge effectively. Knowledge management practices in INSA and MinT vary from each other. INSA's project team members have a better understanding of the knowledge management practice and share knowledge in between project team. Among the 35 factors used to assess the knowledge management practice in INSA only 4 factors responded high towards knowledge management and in MinT only six resulted high toward knowledge management practice. The overall knowledge management practice indicated poor knowledge management practice in IT projects both in MinT and INSA and obtained a low response

description: This paper focuses on hyperspectral image (HSI) super-resolution that aims to fuse a low-spatial-resolution HSI and a high-spatial-resolution multispectral image to form a high-spatial-resolution HSI (HR-HSI). Existing deep learning-based approaches are mostly supervised that rely on a large number of labeled training samples, which is unrealistic. The commonly used model-based approaches are unsupervised and flexible but rely on hand-craft priors. Inspired by the specific properties of model, we make the first attempt to design a model inspired deep network for HSI super-resolution in an unsupervised manner. This approach consists of an implicit autoencoder network built on the target HR-HSI that treats each pixel as an individual sample. The nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) of the target HR-HSI is integrated into the autoencoder network, where the two NMF parts, spectral and spatial matrices, are treated as decoder parameters and hidden outputs respectively. In the encoding stage, we present a pixel-wise fusion model to estimate hidden outputs directly, and then reformulate and unfold the model's algorithm to form the encoder network. With the specific architecture, the proposed network is similar to a manifold prior-based model, and can be trained patch by patch rather than the entire image. Moreover, we propose an additional unsupervised network to estimate the point spread function and spectral response function. Experimental results conducted on both synthetic and real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

description: We investigate the effect of resonance decays on the three-particle correlator charge separation observable in search for the chiral magnetic effect, using a simple simulation with realistic inputs. We find that resonance decays can largely account for the measured signal. We suppress the elliptic flow ($v_2$) background by using zero event-by-event $v_2$ (or via the mixed-event technique). We find that the background is suppressed, but not eliminated as naively anticipated. We identify the reason to be the non-identicalness of the resonance and final-state particle's $v_2$ and the induced correlation between the transverse momentum dependent resonance $v_2$ and decay angle. We make predictions for the charge separation signal due to resonance decays in 200~GeV Au+Au collisions.
