description: Multiferroism can originate from the breaking of inversion symmetry caused by magnetic-spiral order. The usual mechanism for stabilizing a magnetic spiral is competition between magnetic exchange interactions differing by their range and sign, such as nearest-neighbor and next-nearest- neighbor interactions. Since the latter are usually weak the onset temperatures for multiferroism via this mechanism are typically low. By considering a realistic model for YBaCuFeO$_5$ we propose an alternative mechanism for magnetic-spiral order, and hence for multiferroism, that occurs at much higher temperatures. We show using Monte-Carlo simulations and electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory that the Heisenberg model on a geometrically non-frustrated lattice with only nearest-neighbor interactions can have a spiral phase up to high temperature when frustrating bonds are introduced randomly along a single crystallographic direction as caused, e.g., by a particular type of chemical disorder. This long-range correlated pattern of frustration avoids ferroelectrically inactive spin glass order. Finally, we provide an intuitive explanation for this mechanism and discuss its generalization to other materials.

description: Geometric phase optical elements made of space-variant anisotropic media customarily find their optimal operating conditions when the half-wave retardance condition is fulfilled, which allows imparting polarization-dependent changes to an incident wavefront. In practice, intrinsic limitations of man-made manufacturing process or the finite spectrum of the light source lead to a deviation from the ideal behavior. This implies the implementation of strategies to compensate for the associated efficiency losses. Here we report on how the intrinsic tunable features of self-engineered liquid crystal topological defects can be used to enhance the rejection capabilities of spectrally adaptive vector vortex coronagraphs. We also discuss the extent of which current models enable to design efficient devices.

description: Surgical repair of ablation-type peripheral nerve injuries by using peripheral nerve allografts (PNAs) has been hindered for decades due to slow and ineffective axon regeneration from proximal nerve ends as well as immunological rejection of PNAs. We have developed a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-fusion repair protocol for sciatic PNAs in rats that results in maintenance of myelinated axons that do not degenerate, neuromuscular junction innervation, and significantly improved behavioral recovery, as compared to current nerve repair methods. These phenotypes are maintained for weeks postoperatively without using tissue-matching, decellularization, or immunosuppressive drugs. That is, PEG-fused PNAs are functionally tolerated by the host immune system. This dissertation presents work performed to characterize and investigate mechanisms underlying immunological responses to PNAs treated with PEG-fusion with the aim of understanding how and why PEG-fused allografts are not rejected by the host immune system in rat sciatic nerve injury models. Chapter 1 provides a review of the clinical significance of peripheral nerve injury, including: Biological processes of axonal degeneration and regeneration, current methods of nerve repair, immunological rejection of PNAs, concepts underlying PEG-fusion repair and current experimental results of PEG-fusion in rat PNAs, as well as the hypotheses and aims explored. Chapter 2 characterizes innate and adaptive immune responses to PEG-fused PNAs using primarily immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). Our results suggest that PEG-fused PNAs achieve immunotolerance via attenuated innate and adaptive immune responses. Chapter 3 examines via RNA sequencing the coding transcriptome of PEG-fused PNAs to determine which biological processes, protein families, pathways, and protein-protein interaction networks differentiate PEG-fused PNAs from negative control PNAs not treated with PEG with the goal of identifying potential mechanisms underlying immunotolerance. This work provides a critical molecular foundation for future studies investigating PEG-fusion-mediated immunosuppression in PNAs. Chapter 4 investigates whether treatment of PNAs with PEG alone without axonal fusion induces similar immunosuppressive effects. Our results suggest that PEG treatment alone does not prevent Wallerian degeneration or attenuation of innate and adaptive immune responses. Chapter 5 provides a summary of the dissertation work and describes future directions for research.

description: Analysis of the observations of the SOL2001-12-26 event related to ground-level-event GLE63, including microwave spectra and images from NoRH at 17 and 34 GHz, SSRT at 5.7 GHz, and TRACE in 1600 Å has led to the following results. A flare ribbon overlapped with the sunspot umbra, which is typical of large particle events. Atypical were: i) long duration of the flare of more than one hour; ii) moderate intensity of a microwave burst, about $10^4$ sfu; iii) low peak frequency of the gyrosynchrotron spectrum, around 6 GHz; and its insensitivity to the flux increase by more than one order of magnitude. This was accompanied by a nearly constant ratio of the flux emitted by the volume in the high-frequency part of the spectrum to its elevated low-frequency part determined by the area of the source. With the self-similarity of the spectrum, a similarity was observed between the moving microwave sources and the brightest parts of the flare ribbons in 1600 Å. Comparison of the 17 GHz and 1600 Å images has confirmed that the microwave sources were associated with multiple flare loops, whose footpoints appeared in ultraviolet as intermittent bright kernels. To understand the properties of the event, we simulated its microwave emission using a system of several homogeneous gyrosynchrotron sources above the ribbons. The scatter between the spectra and sizes of the individual sources is determined by the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field within the ribbons. The microwave flux is mainly governed by the magnetic flux passing through the ribbons and the sources. An apparent simplicity of microwave structures is caused by a poorer spatial resolution and dynamic range of the microwave imaging. The results indicate that microwave manifestations of accelerated electrons correspond to the structures observed in thermal emissions, as well-known models predict.

Assessment of Trends and Determinants of Adult Mortality in Butajira, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Nigussie, Haymanot
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Background: Adult mortality rate is the probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60. Levels and trends in overall adult mortality have important implications for health and social program. Globally, adult mortality rate has been declining in the period of 1990 and 2012 though countries in sub-Saharan Africa showed increase in adult mortality. Despite this increase, adult mortality remains a neglected public health issue in Sub-Saharan Africa. A lack of empirical data about the levels of mortality experienced by adults in this region has fueled this neglect. Thus, analyzing data from continuous surveillance system can be a corner stone to the development of reliable data on trends and risk factors for adult mortality. Objective: To assess trends and identify determinants of adult mortality in Butajira, South Central Ethiopia Methods: Both quantitative and qualitative studies were conducted. The Butajira database running from 1987-2008 was extracted and analysed using STATA 12. The trend of adult mortality was computed using event history analysis and Poisson regression analysis was used to calculate IRR with 95% CI. For the qualitative part, data were collected from community leaders, staffs of health and agriculture offices and the BRHP to strengthen the result from quantitative part of the study. Open code 3.6 Software was used to code and categorize qualitative data and themathic analysis was employed. Result: There was a significant decline in adult mortality, with some ups and downs in levels during the survey years.This was due to ill behaviours, social upheavals, food insecurity, health service related problems and occurrence of epidemics at different times.The incidence of adult mortality was found to be 6.57(6.33, 6.82) adult deaths per 1000 person years. There were higher incidences of female adult mortality with a level of (95%CI) 7.14 (6.78, 7.52). The incidence of adult mortality significantly increased with age. Married, divorced and widowed adults had higher incidence of death with adjusted IRR (95% CI) 1.71(1.52, 1.91), 2.93(2.11, 4.06) and 4.90(4.25, 5.66) respectively compared to the singles. Adults who were illiterate, resided in rural areas, confessed in Muslim religion and did not have window for their houses had significantly higher incidence of death with IRR (95% CI) 1.12(1.02, 1.23), 1.27(1.02, 1.57), 1.15(1.05, 1.26) and 1.20(1.08, 1.34) respectively. Conclusion: The incidence of adult mortality showed a declining trend mainly due to social and behavioral problems. Age, residence, religion, marital status, availability of windows were significantly associated with incidence of adult mortality.Awareness creation with prevention of different diseases and ensuring food security are recommended to health and agricultural sectors respectively.Furthermore stakeholders are advised to work on decreasing the work burden of females and their empowerment

description: Anomalous electrocaloric effect (ECE) with decreasing temperature upon application of an electric field is known to occur in antiferroelectrics (AFEs), and previous understanding refers to the field-induced canting of electric dipoles if there is no phase transitions. Here, we use a first-principle-based method to study the ECE in Nd-substituted BiFeO3 (BNFO) perovskite solid solutions, which has the Pnma-type AFE ground state. We demonstrate another scenario to achieve and explain anomalous ECE, emphasizing that explicit consideration of octahedral tiltings is indispensable for a correct understanding. This mechanism may be general for AFEs for which the antipolar mode is not the primary order parameter. We also find that the negative ECE can reach a large magnitude in BNFO.

description: Animals often communicate using multiple sensory channels, but these multimodal signals are only successful if they can be perceived by the receiver. Understanding how a receiver’s sensory system processes signals is crucial to understanding how a species communicates. I study the visual system of female túngara frogs, who use a combination of auditory and visual signals sent by males to make mate choice decisions, in order to increase our understanding of the complex communication system in this species. The studies presented here focus on two factors that influence how a female sees and processes visual stimuli: hormonal state and how those visual stimuli interact with concurrent auditory stimuli. Chapter 1 explores the retinal sensitivity of the female túngara frog and how that sensitivity is affected by the frogs’ reproductive state. Chapter 2 takes a deeper look at the hormonal modulation investigated in Chapter 1 by studying the role of estrogen in túngara frog retinal sensitivity. Chapter 3 investigates how the brain of the túngara frog integrates the auditory and visual components of the male’s mating call to influence female response. These studies demonstrate that hormones directly modulate the sensitivity of the female túngara frog’s retina and emphasize the need to incorporate sex and reproductive state in studies of animal sensory systems, particularly in the context of reproductive communication. They also highlight the importance of the functional abilities of an animal’s sensory system in driving their responses to sensory stimuli in communication.

One-loop Matching of Scotogenic Model onto Standard Model Effective Field Theory up to Dimension 7

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The scotogenic neutrino seesaw model is a minimal extension of the standard model with three $\mathbb{Z}_2$-odd right-handed singlet fermions $N$ and one $\mathbb{Z}_2$-odd Higgs doublet $η$ that can accommodate the tiny neutrino mass and provide a dark matter candidate in a unified picture. Due to lack of experimental signatures for electroweak scale new physics, it is appealing to assume these new particles are well above the electroweak scale and take the effective field theory approach to study their effects on low energy observables. In this work we apply the recently developed functional matching formalism to the one-loop matching of the model onto the standard model effective field theory up to dimension seven for the case when all new states $N$ and $η$ are heavy to be integrated out. This is a realistic example which has no tree-level matching due to the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Using the matching results, we analyze their phenomenological implications for several physical processes, including the lepton number violating effect, the CDF $W$ mass excess, and the lepton flavor violating decays like $μ\to eγ$ and $μ\to 3e$.

description: Ethiopia is one of the countries most seriously affected by HIV/AIDS in the world. With 2.2 million individuals living with the virus the 2001 estimate of HIV prevalence is 6.6% ranging from 3.7% in the rural to 13.7% in the urban centers. This cross sectional study is aimed at investigation of the prevalence and incidence of HIV- 1 infection and to assess knowledge and willingness to participate in HIV vaccine trial among residents of Wonji Shoa Sugar Estate. It was conducted in Wonji Shoa Sugar Estate between December 2002 and February 2003. A total of 1998 and 371 randomly selected individuals aged 18-29 participated in the serosurvey and behavioral survey respectively. Information regarding sociodemographic characteristics, sexual behavior and knowledge on HIV and vaccines was collected using a structured questionnaire. ELISA test was used to determine the prevalence of HIV-1 infection and the BED IgG capture assay was applied to identify recent infections. The prevalence and incidence of HIV-1 infection was found to be 2.46% and 0.4 per 100 persons respectively. Prevalence of HIV-1 infection was significantly higher among females 3.49% (P<0.05) in the age groups 20-24 and 25-29 years (3.57% and 4.83%, p<0.05, respectively) among the residents of the two factory villages Wonji (3.58%) and Shoa (3.34%) and among day laborers (3.73%) all with p<0.05. There was high knowledge of HIV prevention and low level of misconceptions regarding transmission viii but low condom use among those involved in risky sexual behaviors. The majority were also assuming themselves as not being high risk for HIV while they were involved in risky sexual behavior. Despite misconceptions on the uses of vaccines, the majority of the respondents were willing to participate in HIV vaccine trial. From this study it was concluded that Wonji Shoa Sugar Estate is a low HIV prevalence site with the incidence of HIV infection a bit higher than the existing cohort with adequate knowledge of HIV and few misconceptions regarding transmission of HIV, use of vaccines and remarkable majority willing to participate in HIV vaccine trial. To maintain the prevalence and incidence of HIV-1 infections at a further lower level and conduct HIV vaccine trial a more focused educational intervention is required for the general community with special emphasis on females and the residents of the two factory villages is recommended. The low incidence of HIV-1 infection and the high willingness of participants to enroll in a HIV vaccine trial make Wonji a potential site for Phase I/II vaccine trial.
Flavon-induced connections between lepton flavour mixing and charged lepton flavour violation processes

description: In leptonic flavour models with discrete flavour symmetries, couplings between flavons and leptons can result in special flavour structures after they gain vacuum expectation values. At the same time, they can also contribute to the other lepton-flavour-violating processes. We study the flavon-induced LFV 3-body charged lepton decays and radiative decays and we take as example the $A_4$ discrete symmetry. In $A_4$ models, a $Z_3$ residual symmetry roughly holds in the charged lepton sector for the realisation of tri-bimaximal mixing at leading order. The only processes allowed by this symmetry are $τ^-\to μ^+ e^- e^-, e^+ μ^- μ^-$, and the other 3-body and all radiative decays are suppressed by small $Z_3$-breaking effects. These processes also depend on the representation the flavon is in, whether pseudo-real (case i) or complex (case ii). We calculate the decay rates for all processes for each case and derive their strong connection with lepton flavour mixing. In case i, sum rules for the branching ratios of these processes are obtained, with typical examples $\text{Br}(τ^-\to μ^+ e^- e^-) \approx \text{Br}(τ^-\to e^+ μ^- μ^-)$ and $\text{Br}(τ^-\to e^- γ) \approx \text{Br}(τ^-\to μ^- γ)$. In case ii, we observe that the mixing between two $Z_3$-covariant flavons plays an important role. All processes are suppressed by charged lepton masses and current experimental constraints allow the electroweak scale and the flavon masses to be around hundreds of GeV. Our discussion can be generalised in other flavour models with different flavour symmetries.

description: The Scorpius-Centaurus (Sco-Cen) young and nearby massive star-forming region is particularly well suited for extrasolar planet searches with both direct imaging and radial velocity (RV) techniques. The RV search, however, is challenging, as the stars are faster rotators on average than their older stellar counterparts of similar spectral types. Moreover, the RV time series show strong signatures of stellar variability (spots and faculae) and/or stellar pulsations. Our aim is to search for giant planets (GPs) and brown dwarfs at short orbital distances around star members of the Sco-Cen association. We also aim at using these data together with others available on young stars to estimate the GP occurrence rate for young stars for periods of up to 1000 days. We used the HARPS spectrograph on the 3.6m telescope at the La Silla Observatory to monitor 88 A-F Sco-Cen stars. To improve our statistics and analysis, we combined this survey with two previous surveys that focused on young nearby stars (YNS) to compute companion occurrence rates from a sample of 176 young A-M stars. We report the discovery of a massive hot-Jupiter candidate around HD 145467, together with the discovery of one probable short-period (P < 10 days) brown dwarf around HD 149790. In addition, we confirm the binary nature of eight single-line binaries: HD 108857, HD 108904, HD 111102, HD 114319, HD 121176, HD 126488, HD 126838, and HD 133574. From our sample, we obtain a GP ($m_c\in[1;13] M_{Jup}$) occurrence rate of $0.7_{-0.2}^{+1.6} \ \%$ for periods between 1 and 1000 days and a brown dwarf ($m_c\in[13;80] M_{Jup}$) occurrence rate of $0.6_{-0.2}^{+1.4} \ \%$, in the same period range. In addition, we report a possible lack of close ($P\in[1;1000] days$) GPs around young F-K stars compared to their older counterparts, with a confidence level of 95%.

description: The Zak phase $γ$, the generalization of the Berry phase to Bloch wave functions in solids, is often used to characterize inversion-symmetric 1D topological insulators; however, since its value can depend on the choice of real-space origin and unit cell, only the difference between the Zak phase of two regions is believed to be relevant. Here, we show that one can extract an origin-independent part of $γ$, the so-called inter-cellular Zak phase $γ^{\mathrm{inter}}$, which can be used as a bulk quantity to predict the number of surface modes as follows: a neutral finite 1D tight-binding system has $n_s = γ^{\mathrm{inter}}/π$ (mod 2) number of in-gap surface modes below the Fermi level if there exists a commensurate bulk unit cell that respects inversion symmetry. We demonstrate this by first verifying that $\pm eγ^{\mathrm{inter}}/2π$ (mod $e$) is equal to the extra charge accumulation in the surface region for a general translationally invariant 1D insulator, while the remnant part of $γ$, the intra-cellular Zak phase $γ^{\mathrm{intra}}$, corresponds to the electronic part of the dipole moment of the bulk's unit cell. Second, we show that the extra charge accumulation can be related to the number of surface modes when the unit cell is inversion symmetric. This bulk-boundary correspondence using $γ^{\mathrm{inter}}$ reduces to the conventional one using $γ$ when the real-space origin is at the inversion center. Our work thereby clarifies the usage of $γ$ in the bulk-boundary correspondence. We study several tight binding models to quantitatively check the relation between the extra charge accumulation and the inter-cellular Zak phase as well as the bulk-boundary correspondence using the inter-cellular Zak phase.

description: Virtualization plays an essential role in providing security to computational systems by isolating execution environments. Many software solutions, called hypervisors, have been proposed to provide virtualization capabilities. However, only a few were designed for being deployed at the edge of the network, in devices with fewer computation resources when compared with servers in the Cloud. Among the few lightweight software that can play the hypervisor role, seL4 stands out by providing a small Trusted Computing Base and formally verified components, enhancing its security. Despite today being more than a decade with seL4 microkernel technology, its existing userland and tools are still scarce and not very mature. Over the last few years, the main effort has been put into increasing the maturity of the kernel itself and not the tools and applications that can be hosted on top. Therefore, it currently lacks proper support for a full-featured userland Virtual Machine Monitor, and the existing one is quite fragmented. This article discusses the potential directions to a standard VMM by presenting our view of design principles and feature set needed. This article does not intend to define a standard VMM, we intend to instigate this discussion through the seL4 community.

description: We show that, under the effect of an external magnetic field, a photogalvanic effect and the generation of second harmonic wave can be induced in inversion-symmetric and time reversal invariant Dirac semimetals. The mechanism responsible of these non linear optical responses is the magnetochiral effect. The origin of this magnetochiral effect is the band bending of the dispersion relation in real Dirac semimetals. Some observable consequences of this phenomenon are the appearance of a dc current on the surface of the system when it is irradiated with linearly polarized light or a rotation of the polarization plane of the reflected second harmonic wave.

description: Introduction: HIV/ AIDS continue to be a major global health priority. HIV counseling and testing is a key strategic entry point to prevention, treatment, care and support services. But according to EDHS 2005 voluntary HIV counseling and testing utilization in Ethiopia is low; this means: people living with HIV get testing and counseling only when they already have advanced clinical disease. Assessing willingness of home based HIV counseling and testing service is essential for promoting, expanding and accessing HIV counselling and testing service to the community. Objective: To assess willingness to home based HIV counseling and testing service among residents in Chagni town administration and Guangua wereda. Methodology: Cross-sectional household survey both quantitative and qualitative methods was conducted from August 2010 to June 2011. Result: A total of 480 study participants were included in the study with the response rate of 99.6%. Of the total respondents 243(50.6%) were females. The mean age of the respondents was 30 years (±sd 9). This study also indicated that 445(92.7%) the respondents were willing to undergo HIV counselling and testing at home. Multivariate analysis showed that study participants who ever had HIV test, participants who knew availability of VCT service in their locality and respondents who ever had sexual intercourse have statistically significant association with willingness to have HIV test at home. But only 190 (39.6%) respondents ever had HIV test. The main reasons of HIV test were to know self status and to plan future life, on the other hand the main reasons for not had HIV test were self and partner trust followed by fear to know results. Multivariate analysis showed that being married, individuals who had good knowledge about HIV/AIDS and individuals who had none stigmatizing and discriminating attitude were more likely to utilize VCT service. Conclusion and Recommendation: Even though majority of the study participants were willing to undergo HIV counseling and testing at home, only few respondents ever had HIV test. Based on the finding BCC/IEC activities should be strengthened to promote VCT service utilization, to increase knowledge of HIV/AIDS and to reduce stigma and discrimination. Home based HIV counselling and testing should be implemented by wereda health office in collaboration with wereda HAPCO and other organizations working on HIV/AIDS by integrating to existing Health Extension Package.

description: Coherent extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation produced by table-top high-harmonic generation (HHG) sources provides a wealth of possibilities in research areas ranging from attosecond physics to high resolution coherent imaging. However, it remains challenging to fully exploit the coherence of such sources for interferometry and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS). This is due to the need for a measurement system that is stable at the level of a wavelength fraction, yet allowing a controlled scanning of time delays. Here we demonstrate XUV interferometry and FTS in the 17-55 nm wavelength range using an ultrastable common-path interferometer suitable for high-intensity laser pulses that drive the HHG process. This approach enables the generation of fully coherent XUV pulse pairs with sub-attosecond timing variation, tunable time delay and a clean Gaussian spatial mode profile. We demonstrate the capabilities of our XUV interferometer by performing spatially resolved FTS on a thin film composed of titanium and silicon nitride.

description: Compact Obscured Nuclei (CONs) potentially hide extreme supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth behind large column densities of gas/dust. We present a spectroscopic analysis of the heavily obscured nucleus and the surrounding environment of the eastern region of the nearby ($z = 0.02007$) interacting galaxy VV 114 with the JWST Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI). We model the spectrum from 4.9 - 28 $μ$m to extract Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) emission and the underlying obscured continuum. We find that the NE nucleus (A) is highly obscured where the low PAH equivalent width (EW) ratio, EW(12.7)/EW(11.3), reveals a dust enshrouded continuum source. This is confirmed by decomposing the continuum into nuclear and star-forming where the nuclear component is found to be typical of CONs. The 11.3/6.2 PAH flux ratio is consistent with originating in star-forming regions rather than typical AGN. The second nucleus (B) is much less obscured, with PAH flux ratios also typical of star-forming regions. We do not detect any high ionisation lines such as [Ne V] or [Ne VI] which suggests that if an AGN is present it must be highly obscured. Additionally, we detect a shock front south of the secondary nucleus (B) in the [Fe II] (5.34 $μ$m) line and in warm molecular hydrogen. The 6.2 PAH emission does not spatially coincide with the low-J transitions of H$_2$ but rather appears strong at the shock front which may suggest destruction of the ionised PAHs in the post-shock gas behind the shock front.

description: Both polydispersity and the presence of a gravitational field are inherent to essentially any colloidal experiment. While several theoretical works have focused on the effect of polydispersity on the bulk phase behavior of a colloidal system, little is known about the effect of a gravitational field on a polydisperse colloidal suspension. We extend here sedimentation path theory to study sedimentation-diffusion-equilibrium of a mass-polydisperse colloidal system: the particles possess different buoyant masses but they are otherwise identical. The model helps to understand the interplay between gravity and polydispersity on sedimentation experiments. Since the theory can be applied to any parent distribution of buoyant masses, it can be also used to study sedimentation of monodisperse colloidal systems. We find that mass-polydispersity has a strong influence in colloidal systems near density matching for which the bare density of the colloidal particles equals the solvent density. To illustrate the theory, we study crystallization in sedimentation-diffusion-equilibrium of a suspension of mass-polydisperse hard spheres.

description: Malnutrition is a major threat to the health of HIV infected individuals and is associated with increased risks of morbidity and mortality. Objective; the objective of the study was to assess the nutritional status and associated factors among adolescents living with HIV enrolled at public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Facility based across-sectional study was conducted between February and April 2016.Data were collected on 340 adolescents aged 10-19 years attending government public hospitals in Addis Ababa. Nutritional status was assessed using BMI-for-Age (BAZ) and Height-for-age (HAZ) as measures of thinness and stunting respectively. Standard deviation (SD) scores (Z scores) were applied to determine the nutritional status. Adolescents whose BAZ and HAZ was less than -3SD were considered severely malnourished; those adolescent with BAZ and HAZ between -2SD and -3SD were considered malnourished while those with BAZ and HAZ >= - 2SD were wellnourished. Statistical analysis was done using WHO anthro plus and STATA 12. Statistical software package. Result: The prevalence of stunting was 37.4% [0.3218-0.425, 95% CI, with 8.2% [0.052- 0.11, 95% CI] of adolescents being severely stunted. The risk factors for stunting included skipping of meal [(AOR: 1.74.; 95% CI:1.07- 2.83) and primary care (AOR: 1.23.; 95% CI, 1.03.-1.47). The prevalence of thinness was 15.6 % [0.117- 0.194, 95%CI] with 2.9% [0.0113 - 0 .047, 95% CI] severely thin. The risk factors for thinness include treatment interruption [AOR 2.78, 95% CI, 1.20- 6.43] nutrition counseling[AOR 2.05 ,95 %CI,1.13- 3.72 ] and moderately household food insecurity (AORAOR1.67,95CI % 1.21- 3.21) amongadolescentsliving with the HIV enrolled at public hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Conclusion:The prevalence of stunting and thinness was high among the HIV infected adolescents. Skipping meal, getting primary care from relatives, nutritional counseling, and moderately household food insecurity were significantly associated with malnutrition (stunting and thinness). Recommendation; Greater recognition of the substantial burden of malnutrition among adolescents living with HIV is needed, and there is a need for more services aimed at nutrition counseling, retention in care , nutrition interventions beyond clinical settings and economic empowerments of adolescents living with HIV. Key words; HIV, thinness, stunting, adolescents
Subtraction of power counting breaking terms in chiral perturbation theory: spinless matter fields

description: When matter fields are included in chiral perturbation theory, the nonvanishing mass in the chiral limit introduces a new energy scale so that the loop diagrams including such matter field propagators spoil the usual power counting. However, the power counting breaking terms can be absorbed into counterterms in the chiral Lagrangian. In this paper, we systematically derive these terms to leading one-loop order (next-to-next-to leading order in the chiral expansion) at once by calculating the generating functional using the path integral. They are then absorbed by counterterms in the next-to-leading order Lagrangian. The method can be extended to calculating power counting breaking terms for other matter fields.
