description: Rate adaptation in 802.11 WLANs has received a lot of attention from the research community, with most of the proposals aiming at maximising throughput based on network conditions. Considering energy consumption, an implicit assumption is that optimality in throughput implies optimality in energy efficiency, but this assumption has been recently put into question. In this paper, we address via analysis and experimentation the relation between throughput performance and energy efficiency in multi-rate 802.11 scenarios. We demonstrate the trade-off between these performance figures, confirming that they may not be simultaneously optimised, and analyse their sensitivity towards the energy consumption parameters of the device. Our results provide the means to design novel rate adaptation schemes that takes energy consumption into account.

Peace from a Distance? Identity, Peacekeeping, and Violence in sub-Saharan Africa
Creators: name: Wilke, Connor

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: peacekeeping
subject: civil war
subject: identity

description: An emerging body of literature has examined how the composition of peacekeeping missions influences peacekeeping effectiveness, but this research has thus far relied on country-level analyses, making it difficult to confidently establish causality. This paper provides the first subnational inquiry into how cultural distance between peacekeepers and local populations influences peacekeeping effectiveness in a sample of recent peacekeeping missions in sub-Saharan Africa. After addressing selection bias arising from where/when different peacekeepers are deployed with a two-way country-year and grid cell fixed effects model, my results diverge significantly from the existing findings: culturally distant peacekeepers are more effective at protecting civilians than more culturally proximate peacekeepers. Through an analysis of deployment patterns, I show that any remaining selection bias is likely to bias against these results, as more culturally distant peacekeepers appear to be systematically sent to more conflict prone areas. I argue that these effects arise because culturally proximate peacekeepers are more likely to have their identities associated with those of certain subgroups of the population, making it harder to gain trust and gather information from the broad population in a context of identity conflict. I also provide suggestive empirical support for this causal mechanism.

description: Symmetric electron-positron plasmas in inhomogeneous magnetic fields are intrinsically subject to interchange instability and transport. Scaling relations for the propagation velocity of density blob perturbations relevant to transport in isothermal magnetically confined electron-positron plasmas are deduced, including damping effects when Debye lengths are large compared to Larmor radii. The relations are verified by nonlinear full-F gyrofluid computations. Results are in favour of sufficient magnetic confinement for planned electron-positron plasma experiments. The model is generalised to other matter-antimatter plasmas. Magnetised electron-positron-proton-antiproton plasmas are susceptible to interchange driven local matter-antimatter separation, which can be expected to impede (so far unrealised) sustained laboratory magnetic confinement.

description: We study spinon excitations of the integrable spin-1 (Fateev-Zamolodchikov; FZ) chain and their relation to the hidden supersymmetry. Using the notion of the supercharges earlier introduced to the spin chains, which change the system length by one, we found that they nontrivially act on one of two kinds of the degrees of freedom for the FZ chain. Their actions were obtained to be the same as those of the supercharges defined on the supersymmetric sine-Gordon model, the low-energy effective field theory of the FZ chain. Moreover, we construct the eigenstates which are invariant under the supersymmetric Hamiltonian given as the anti-commutator of the supercharges.

GETTING A HANDLE ON NUMBERS: CAN CARDINAL NUMBER GESTURES FACILITATE PRESCHOOLERS' UNDERSTANDING OF CARDINAL EQUIVALENCE?
Creators: name: JIANG, YUEJIAO
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022

description: Early number learning is a reliable predictor of children’s later math knowledge and academic success (e.g., Duncan et al., 2007; Geary et al., 2018). Decades of research have tried to help advance this learning process with the aim to close the achievement gap caused by individual differences in early number knowledge. Recent studies have shown that cardinal number gestures have the potential to play an important role in early number learning (Butts et al., in prep; Gunderson et al., 2015; Gibson et al., under review; Oswald et al., in prep). However, it remains unclear how number gestures may specifically do so. In the current study, we explore one possible mechanism by which number gestures may support number knowledge, by enhancing children’s understanding of cardinal equivalence. In this study, we compared 2.5 to 4.5-year-old children’s ability to match homogeneous and heterogeneous sets of objects to sets of black dots and to number gestures. Our results showed that children were more accurate at mapping dissimilar sets to number gestures than to nonsymbolic sets of dots. Not only do these results support the hypothesis that number gestures may help children understand the cardinal equivalence, but also offer strong evidence that children may benefit from number gestures’ hybrid feature of being both iconic and symbolic representations of numbers. Together, these findings expand the current understanding of young children’s understanding of number gestures and highlight their potential role as a pedagogical tool in early number learning.

The Effect of Leadership Styles on Employee Job satisfaction: The Case Of PEPFAR Implementing University Partners
Creators: name: W/tensay, Ruth
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: The research study achieved its aims of defining and assessing the relationship between leadership styles (transactional and transformational) and employee's job satisfaction in Presidential Emergency Program for HIV/AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) funded implementing Partner (IP) located in Addis Ababa-Ethiopia. The purpose is to examine the effect of leadership styles on the dimensions of employees' job satisfaction. This study also attempted to investigate what types of leadership styles contribute to the high managers/supervisors and subordinates who have working in head office Addis Ababa were purposively selected. Data were collected from 7 manager/supervisors and 23 subordinate using Bass & Avolio's (2004) Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ ) which measure transformational leadership and transactional leadership styles and Clark (2009) Employee Job satisfaction survey(JSS) which measure employees' job satisfaction dimensions. Survey data collected from respondents was analyzed using descriptive and cross tabulation analysis. The findings of the study indicated that there was a significant relationship between transactional and transformational leadership style and employees' job satisfaction. The transformational and transactional leadership styles positively influenced job satisfaction of employees' working in these organizations. The findings also revealed that employees preferred transformational leadership style over transactional leadership style as a result the highest mean score of the employee job satisfaction dimension went to transformational leadership style, With the cross tabulation analysis, the data indicated that there was a significant relationship between leadership styles (transformational and transactional) and particular dimensions of job satisfaction i.e. relationships of employees with their supervisors and job independence. There is also an interesting relationship between leadership styles (transactional and transformational) with the biographical variables i.e. Age and Gender. Employees at their younger age they preferred a transformational leader than transactional leader and female employees were satisfied and more inclined to transformational leaders than transactional leaders.Finally, it is the recommendations of the research study that leaders (whether they are transactional or transformational) have an impact on employees' job satisfaction and we observed that there was a significant difference with the relationships of employees with their supervisors and degree of independence particular dimensions of job satisfaction and the style of the organization's leaders. Key words: Transformational leadership, transactional leadership and employees' job satisfaction.

description: A system with many degrees of freedom can be characterized by a covariance matrix; principal components analysis (PCA) focuses on the eigenvalues of this matrix, hoping to find a lower dimensional description. But when the spectrum is nearly continuous, any distinction between components that we keep and those that we ignore becomes arbitrary; it then is natural to ask what happens as we vary this arbitrary cutoff. We argue that this problem is analogous to the momentum shell renormalization group (RG). Following this analogy, we can define relevant and irrelevant operators, where the role of dimensionality is played by properties of the eigenvalue density. These results also suggest an approach to the analysis of real data. As an example, we study neural activity in the vertebrate retina as it responds to naturalistic movies, and find evidence of behavior controlled by a nontrivial fixed point. Applied to financial data, our analysis separates modes dominated by sampling noise from a smaller but still macroscopic number of modes described by a non--Gaussian distribution.

description: These notes offer an introduction to the functorial and algebraic description of 2-dimensional topological quantum field theories `with defects', assuming only superficial familiarity with closed TQFTs in terms of commutative Frobenius algebras. The generalisation of this relation is a construction of pivotal 2-categories from defect TQFTs. We review this construction in detail, flanked by a range of examples. Furthermore we explain how open/closed TQFTs are equivalent to Calabi-Yau categories and the Cardy condition, and how to extract such data from pivotal 2-categories.

description: Logistics is a vital area of management within most firms, whether they are manufacturing or service firms. Logistics is important because it creates value-value for customers and suppliers of the firm, and value for the firm's stakeholders. The purpose of this study was to assess Practices and Challenges of Logistics Management in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Addis Ababa. This research conceptualizes and develops six dimensions of LM practice (Inventory Management, Supply Management, Warehouse Management, Transportation Management, Customer Response and Information Flow Management). The study employed descriptive design and both qualitative and quantitative approach were used. Data for the study was collected using a self-administered questionnaire procedure, where the questionnaires were administered to the selected respondents through drop and pick later technique. A sample size of 138 respondents was drawn from the sample frame using simple stratified random sampling technique to promote the needs for efficiency and representativeness from various departments. Data was analyzed by aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The study will be useful in the academic circles as it will contribute immensely towards filling the gaps in knowledge in the area of service industry particularly in banking as well it can be used as a base for future study. The study found that logistics management was not practiced effectively in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. It also found that poor exchange of information, lack of integrated system, inadequate education or sensitization program are some of the major challenges. The study recommends that high degree of collaboration between various departments of the bank and deployment of logistics infrastructure and technology as an enabler. Also it recommends that CBE should be encouraged to adopt excellent human resource management.

description: Polluted water continues to be a major problem globally since it deteriorates human health after consumption and impedes sustainable development. Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) has been used to tackle the problem, but certain significant disadvantages of the nZVI limit its efficiency. Owing to the demerits of nZVI, various materials have been employed to support the nZVI to ensure efficient decontamination. There is rising interest in using attapulgite as a support for nZVI. The use of attapulgite supported nanoscale zero-valent iron (A-nZVI) to decontaminate wastewater/groundwater has proven to be highly efficient as compared to unsupported nZVI. This paper presents an overview of the syntheses, performance, application and limitations of using A-nZVI to treat wastewater/remediate groundwater. A-nZVI has been extensively employed on laboratory scale, thus making it difficult to simulate its removal efficiency on a large scale. However, its high removal efficiency under the appropriate operational conditions make it ideal to be used on an industrial level. This review is important because it identifies gaps in literature with respect to A-nZVI that need to be filled to improve ZVI-based technology.

description: When data is poor we resort to theory modelling. This is a two-step process. We have first to identify the appropriate type of model for the system under consideration and then to tailor it to the specifics of the case. To understand settlement formation, which is the concern of this paper, this not only involves choosing input parameter values such as site separations but also input functions which characterises the ease of travel between sites. Although the generic behaviour of the model is understood, the details are not. Different choices will necessarily lead to different outputs (for identical inputs). We can only proceed if choices that are "close" give outcomes are similar. Where there are local differences it suggests that there was no compelling reason for one outcome rather than the other. If these differences are important for the historic record we may interpret this as sensitivity to contingency. We re-examine the rise of Greek city states as first formulated by Rihll and Wilson in 1979, initially using the same "retail" gravity model. We suggest that, whereas cities like Athens owe their position to a combination of geography and proximity to other sites, the rise of Thebes is the most contingent, whose success reflects social forces outside the grasp of simple network modelling.

This talk will introduce the Right to Replicate as an example of both how the issue of vendor lock-in has been addressed for infrastructure projects by outlining specific infrastructure commitments when developing digital goods, and how setting such values at an organisation or team level can lubricate operational activities. Lastly, the talk will invite reflection on where a Right to Replicate could apply to less infrastructure-centred projects. Audience RSEs develop software that advances science through technological innovation, and often do this openly to enable collaboration and future work. The Right to Replicate (https://2i2c.org/right-to-replicate/) is an example of codifying these beliefs into concrete strategies for working practices. RSE leaders and policymakers will particularly benefit from this talk in terms of imagining what a Right to Replicate (or similar) may look like for their team's outputs.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We consider a measurement of the position of a spot painted on the surface of a trapped nano-optomechanical sphere. The measurement extracts information about the position of the spot and in doing so measures a combination of the orientation and position of the sphere. The quantum back-action of the measurement entangles and correlates these two degrees of freedom. Such a measurement is not available for atoms or ions, and provides a mechanism to probe the quantum mechanical properties of trapped optomechanical spheres. In performing simulations of this measurement process we also test a numerical method introduced recently by Rouchon and collaborators for solving stochastic master equations. This method guarantees the positivity of the density matrix when the Lindblad operators for all simultaneous continuous measurements are mutually commuting. We show that it is both simpler and far more efficient than previous methods.

Determinants of Agricultural Export in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence From Panel Study
Creators: name: Tesfaye, Eyayu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Despite the critical importance of agriculture in SSA countries; there are constraints behind between, and beyond the border that directly and indirectly affects agricultural export performance of these countries. This paper attempts to explain theoretically and assess empirically the demand and the supply side factors affecting agricultural export of SSA countries. Specifically, the study focuses on analyzing the relative importance of the two major factors in determining the countries agricultural export performance. Panel data set with fixed effects estimation technique is used to address the question. The data set covers 47 SSA countries over the periods 20002008. The estimation result shows that on the supply side, factors such as real GDP, real GDP (lagged) of exporting country and lagged agricultural input use positively and significantly affects agricultural export of the SSA countries. The study also indicates that on the demand side the effect of per capita GDP of US, the major trading partner of SSA countries, is positive and significant. Moreover, the effect of US import tariff imposed on agricultural products from SSA countries is negative and significant. Therefore, the overall result reiterates that both supply side and demand side factors are equally important in determining agricultural export performance of SSA countries.

description: We report on a dark matter search for a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) in the mass range $m_χ\in [4, 30]\,\mathrm{GeV}/c^2$ with the EDELWEISS-III experiment. A 2D profile likelihood analysis is performed on data from eight selected detectors with the lowest energy thresholds leading to a combined fiducial exposure of 496 kg-days. External backgrounds from $γ$- and $β$-radiation, recoils from $^{206}$Pb and neutrons as well as detector intrinsic backgrounds were modelled from data outside the region of interest and constrained in the analysis. The basic data selection and most of the background models are the same as those used in a previously published analysis based on Boosted Decision Trees (BDT). For the likelihood approach applied in the analysis presented here, a larger signal efficiency and a subtraction of the expected background lead to a higher sensitivity, especially for the lowest WIMP masses probed. No statistically significant signal was found and upper limits on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section can be set with a hypothesis test based on the profile likelihood test statistics. The 90% C.L. exclusion limit set for WIMPs with $m_χ= 4\,\mathrm{GeV/}c^2$ is $1.6 \times 10^{-39}\,\mathrm{cm^2}$, which is an improvement of a factor of seven with respect to the BDT-based analysis. For WIMP masses above $15\,\mathrm{GeV/}c^2$ the exclusion limits found with both analyses are in good agreement.

An exploration of rapid-use reading-accuracy tests in an Australian context
Creators: name: Galletly, Susan A
Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2022
Subjects: Education assessment and evaluation

description: When compared to western countries such as the USA, Australia has made relatively little use of reading-accuracy tests at the school level. This is despite there being readily available rapid-use reading-accuracy tests such as the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS, Good & Kaminski, 2002a), and the Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE, Torgesen, Wagner, & Rashotte, 1999). Current developments such as the publication of the report of the National Inquiry into the Teaching of Literacy (NITL) have given impetus to addressing this issue. This investigation explores the use of both the DIBELS and TOWRE tests to establish their usefulness in Australian school settings for the following purposes: Providing reliable achievement data for monitoring reading-accuracy achievement at school level. Providing useful qualitative diagnostic data. Building school and teacher understanding of reading-accuracy development, assessment and instruction. Building school and teacher effectiveness in instructional decision-making from test-data, to improve reading-accuracy instruction and achievement. The results from the investigation indicate that both DIBELS and TOWRE tests are suitable for the above stated purposes. The results intimate a need to establish norms for Australian use of the tests, and value in developing specific additional tests. Based on the findings of this research, a number of recommendations have been made towards Australian use of DIBELS and TOWRE tests. A model of reading-accuracy development is also presented for use in Australian reading instruction.

description: Quantum networks of growing complexity play a key role as resources for quantum computation; the ability to identify the quality of their internal correlations will play a crucial role in addressing the buiding stage of such states. We introduce a novel diagnostic scheme for multipartite networks of entangled particles, aimed at assessing the quality of the gates used for the engineering of their state. Using the information gathered from a set of suitably chosen multiparticle Bell tests, we identify conditions bounding the quality of the entangled bonds among the elements of a register. We demonstrate the effectiveness, flexibility, and diagnostic power of the proposed methodology by characterizing a quantum resource engineered combining two-photon hyperentanglement and photonic-chip technology. Our approach is feasible for medium-sized networks due to the intrinsically modular nature of cluster states, and paves the way to section-by-section analysis of large photonics resources.

description: N-chlorotaurine (NCT) a long-lived oxidant generated by leukocytes, can be synthesized chemically and applied topically as an anti-infective to different body sites, including the lung via inhalation. Here, we demonstrate the activity of NCT against viruses causing acute respiratory tract infections, namely severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), influenza viruses, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Virucidal activity of NCT was tested in plaque assays, confirmed by RT-qPCR assays. Attack on virus proteins was investigated by mass spectrometry. NCT revealed broad virucidal activity against all viruses tested at 37°C and pH 7. A significant reduction in infectious particles of SARS-CoV-2 isolates from early 2020 by 1 log10 was detected after 15 min of incubation in 1% NCT. Proteinaceous material simulating body fluids enhanced this activity by transchlorination mechanisms (1 −2 log10 reduction within 1–10 min). Tested SARS-CoV-2 variants B.1.1.7 (Alpha) und B.1.351 (Beta) showed a similar susceptibility. Influenza virus infectious particles were reduced by 3 log10 (H3N2) to 5 log10 (H1N1pdm), RSV by 4 log10 within a few min. Mass spectrometry of NCT-treated SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and 3C-like protease, influenza virus haemagglutinin and neuraminidase, and RSV fusion glycoprotein disclosed multiple sites of chlorination and oxidation as the molecular mechanism of action. Application of 1.0% NCT as a prophylactic and therapeutic strategy against acute viral respiratory tract infections deserves comprehensive clinical investigation.
