description: Background: Nearly 1 million child deaths occur due to Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) annually in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Hence, CMAM Program in Nepal was started in 2009 to increase the access to treatment for acutely malnourished children 6-59 months of age by providing appropriate nutrition services in the communities residing in 11 districts. The current study aims to analyze the trends of CMAM Performance indicators (program admission, discharge categories, recovery and non-recovery) in 11 priority districts. Methods: Secondary quantitative data were analyzed to see the prevalence of SAM across 11 districts. District-wise and year-wise comparison of discharge categories and the average monthly trends in admission were also studied. Results: Out of a total 30,562 admissions in all 11 districts, the highest number of admissions was 6,451 in Kanchanpur district. Trend analysis showed that the highest number of admissions occurred during April after vitamin A campaign in March. All SPHERE Minimum Standards for CMAM program outcomes exceeded in all districts with overall recovery rate of 85.4%, death rate of 0.4% and default rate of 10%, with the exception of Dhanusha and Sarlahi districts. Conclusions: Despite differences in accessibility to health facilities and duration of the programs by district, the overall CMAM performance indicators were achieved beyond the target level set in the national guidelines for all districts. The high quality of services rendered by the health workers in Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) centers and Stabilization Centers (SCs) in health posts have reduced the number of SAM cases in all 11 districts.

description: When considering changing hypnotic pharmacotherapy, lemborexant has attracted attention as a candidate due to its effectiveness and safety profile. However, few studies have investigated switching patterns in clinical practice. We conducted a retrospective cohort study using a nationwide claims database. Patients prescribed a single hypnotic who either subsequently switched to (switching cohort) or were additionally prescribed (add-on cohort) lemborexant between July 2020 and December 2021 were identified. Proportion of successful switching was defined as remaining on lemborexant alone or without any hypnotic at 6 months after lemborexant initiation. The success proportion was 70.1% in the switching cohort (n = 4,861) and 38.6% in the add-on cohort (n = 9,423). In the add-on cohort, the success proportion was lower in patients with a hypnotic history of ≥180 days (31.4%) and in patients whose prescribed hypnotic was a benzodiazepine or non-benzodiazepine (31.5% and 37.6%, respectively). The proportion of successful switching was higher in patients who switched to lemborexant than in those who added lemborexant as a concomitant treatment. The lower success proportion in the add-on cohort might be related to clinically more severe insomnia, and/or a concomitant prescription of benzodiazepine or non-benzodiazepine, from which discontinuation may be challenging.

description: We consider an optical fiber with nanoscale variation of the effective fiber radius supporting whispering gallery modes slowly propagating along the fiber, and reveal that the radius variation can be designed to support reflectionless propagation of these modes. We show that reflectionless modulations can realize control of transmission amplitude and temporal delay, while enabling close packing due to the absence of cross-talk, in contrast to conventional potentials.

Parallel Batch-Dynamic Algorithms Dynamic Trees, Graphs, and Self-Adjusting Computation
Creators: name: Anderson, Daniel
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 80201
subject: Analysis of Algorithms and Complexity

description: The defining feature of many modern large-scale computer systems is the sheer amount of data that they generate and process. Google’s MapReduce clusters process over twenty petabytes of data per day, and Facebook has reported processing over 4 petabytes of data per day and running over one million map reduce computations over this data. Modern systems for processing this kind of data make extensive use of parallel and distributed computation to achieve the necessary level of throughput. An important property of the datasets involved in such computations, however, is that they are not static. Rather, they are frequently evolving. Large social networks, for example, undergo rapid changes; users are added, and links between uses are created and deleted rapidly, but each such update affects a relatively tiny portion of the data. This thesis explores a relatively under-explored area of algorithm design intended to tackle these kinds of problems: parallel batch-dynamic algorithms. Classic algorithms for handling dynamic data support a single update at a time, but this model is insufficient for handling the scale of modern rapidly changing datasets, and furthermore yields little room to exploit parallelism within the updates. A batch-dynamic algorithm consumes multiple updates at a time, which allows for increased throughput and more opportunities for parallelism. In the first part of the thesis, we will design algorithms for parallel batchdynamic trees based on sequential Rake-Compress Trees (RC Trees). In the second part of this thesis, we will design algorithms for batch-dynamic graph connectivity and batch-incremental minimum spanning trees. Then, in Part Three, we show that batch-dynamic algorithms can be used as ingredients in designing highly-efficient parallel static algorithms. Using our parallel Rake-Compress Tree data structure as an ingredient, we obtain the first ever work-efficient parallel algorithm for minimum cuts. The final part of this thesis will explore the implementation of systems for processing batch-dynamic data. One factor that hampers the adoption of efficient dynamic algorithms in practice is that they are often extremely complicated and difficult to implement. To address this issue in the sequential setting, self-adjusting computation is a technique for automatically dynamizing static algorithms to create dynamic ones. This lowers the implementation burden on programmers. In this thesis, we show that self-adjusting computation can be generalized to automatically dynamize parallel algorithms, allowing programmers to reap the benefits of parallel batch-dynamic algorithms without the burden of implementing them from scratch.

description: Adult dermatomyositis (DM) and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) are rare autoimmune diseases with characteristic skin rashes, weakness, and other systemic features. Upregulated interferon signaling has been consistently described in both adult and juvenile DM which makes janus kinase inhibitors (jakinibs) an attractive therapeutic agent that has a targeted mechanism of action. Herein is a review of the growing literature of jakinib use in adult and juvenile DM, including reports on specific disease features and safety of jakinibs in this population and a comparison between adult and juvenile DM. We performed a literature review using PubMed including all English-language publications before 1 February 2024 and abstracts from key recent rheumatology conferences. Jakinibs are an exciting and promising treatment in both adult and juvenile DM. Current Phase 2 and 3 randomized placebo-controlled trials of jakinibs in both adult and JDM will provide significant insights into the efficacy of this class of medication as a potentially more mechanistically targeted treatment of both skin and muscle disease. In fact, these results will likely inform the treatment paradigm of dermatomyositis in that it may even be considered as first or second line. The next five years in the therapeutic landscape of both juvenile and adult DM is an exciting time for both patients and medical providers.
Perinatal Incarceration: Next Steps for North Carolina

description: As the number of incarcerated women has continued to rise across the United States, so too has the number of women experiencing perinatal incarceration (PI). Little is known about women who are pregnant while in jail or prison. However, shackling during labor, separation of mother and child and insufficient perinatal care is known to negatively affect mothers and children across their life course. Research has made clear that the absence of data, inconsistent perinatal care and non-existent postpartum care perpetuates the issue of PI. North Carolina illustrates both national trends in PI as well as methods for amending the problem, including collaboration, policy change and advocacy

description: The Addis Ababa city construction sector is one of the key economic sectors and is the
 main force motivating the national economy. However, it is complex and affected by
 many constraints and obstacles that influence its outcomes. Therefore, this research was
 conducted with the aims to assess the challenges and problems faced by small, medium
 and micro enterprise contractors in Addis Ababa city public construction from the
 different local contract stakeholders’ points of view; namely: contractors, owners and
 consultants. Through a careful literature review of different related researches 61
 variables were identified and considered in this research in four groups; Business
 environment, clients, consultants and contractors related factors. A questionnaire was
 administered to evaluate the importance of the construction related problems. 90
 questionnaires were distributed as follows: (40) owner of the company, (22) project
 Managers, (12) sit engineer and (16) office engineer. The statistical method of Relative
 Importance Index was used to analyze the collected data. Based on the findings variables
 were ranked according to their occurrence.
 The results show that the highest top ten important problems that Addis Ababa city
 construction sector suffers from are as follows: Scarce work opportunities, Failure to pay
 interim certificates for contractors, failure to provide reliable tenders, ambiguities and
 mistakes in specifications and drawings, Inadequate supervision, insufficient skilled
 Personnel both technical and managerial levels, failure to complete projects on Time,
 unfair competition, difficult to access capital and political interference.
 The research finally reviled a list of recommendations for decision makers that focused
 on mitigation payment related problems and protection against unequal competition for
 small contractors and ways to improve the opportunities of the small contractors to
 survive and grow. The implication of the findings is that the challenges named above
 need to be addressed if the small, medium and micro enterprise contractors (SMMEs) in
 Addis Ababa city construction bureau will perform and become more competitive

description: In this thesis, I discuss the application of Effective Field Theory (EFT) methods to a variety of problems across condensed matter and particle physics. Understanding how symmetries are realized by the system can put strong constraints on the low energy EFT which then dictates the macroscopic behavior of the system. We begin by utilizing these techniques to predict the leading order Landau parameter in the normal state of a strongly interacting cold-atomic fermi gas. We then use methods of coset construction to study magnon-phonon interactions in magnetic insulators where we are able to calculate the magnon lifetime as well predict interesting phenomena that can arise from explicit symmetry breaking effects. We also utilize the EFT in the context of dark matter detection to calculate one-magnon and multi-magnon emission rates for dark matter scattering. Finally, we study the dynamical modes of dislocations in solids and make predictions about the dispersion of these modes based on the lattice structure.
Assessment Of Vehicle Impact Load Response Of Street Lighting Steel Pole

description: The lighting poles of a street electric lightening distribution system are frequently
 damaged by accidental vehicle collisions. This failure causes street lighting power
 outages which in turn leads poor visibility in streets and thus rise in epic crime rates.
 This thesis work presents numerical investigations of accidental vehicular collision
 response of street steel light poles. 3D finite element models of Ethiopian Road
 authorities standard street steel light poles were developed and analyzed using LSDYNA explicit finite element software program. In the absence of high cost field crash
 tests, principle of energy conservation and hourglass formations are used as a
 validation and verification test to ensure accuracy of developed finite element models.
 Further, parametric studies on influential variables such as thickness of steel light pole,
 impacting vehicle speed and mass representing: residential area, city and highway
 speed limits; and passenger car, medium weight pickup and heavy duty trucks are
 performed to get insight into response of a steel pole and propose equivalent static
 force provision for design of street light poles against accidental vehicular impact
 loads.
 Results of this research indicate thickness of hallow steel light pole has insignificant
 effect on overall response of steel pole against vehicular impact load. Therefore, use of
 solid section rather than hallow light poles are recommended. Also, finite element
 analysis results showed equivalent static force of demand of 695 kN applied at height
 of 0.4m clearance from ground is recommended to safeguard steel light poles against
 accidental vehicular collisions.
DETERMINANTS OF MENSTRUAL HYGIENE PRACTICES AMONG YOUNG WOMEN IN INDIA: EVIDENCE FROM DISTRICT-LEVEL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY

description: Objective: Menstrual hygiene management is a neglected and silent issue in India with less than 12% of women having access to commercial sanitary napkins. This paper identifies key determinants of usage of sanitary napkins among young women in India. Methods: Data from a cross-sectional, population-based District level Household Survey (DLHS-3) 2007-08 were analyzed. A sample of 81,506 women, aged 15-24 years, were included in the analysis to assess wealth, education, residence, caste, region, awareness of reproductive tract infections and attitudes toward reproductive health as determinants of usage of sanitary napkins. Results: Multivariate analyses found that background variables such as wealth, education, caste and residence are significant determinants of usage of sanitary napkins. Further, autonomy, awareness of reproductive tract infections, and attitude toward receiving reproductive health education are critical towards improving menstrual hygiene practices. Conclusion: Effective programming should focus on ending taboos associated with menstrual hygiene management by educating women about the importance and usage of safe menstrual hygiene practices. This is also important to dispel myths, misconceptions and negative perception around menstruation. Further, increasing access to subsidized quality sanitary napkins to adolescent girls and women should also be considered along with safe, private places to change and wash themselves along with safe disposal of products.

description: CRISPR is a genome engineering technology that has enabled scientists to precisely manipulate and perturb human genomes. Single-cell CRISPR screens combine CRISPR genome engineering and single-cell sequencing to survey the effects of CRISPR perturbations on the molecular phenotypes of individual cells. Single-cell CRISPR screens have generated substantial academic and industrial interest in recent years, promising to accelerate cancer, longevity, and medical genetics research. However, single-cell CRISPR screens pose considerable statistical challenges, currently limiting the reliability of conclusions drawn on the basis of single-cell CRISPR screen experiments. The broad objective of this thesis is to develop statistically rigorous and computationally efficient methods for the analysis of single-cell CRISPR screen data. To this end we make three main contributions. First, we leverage cluster- and cloud-scale computing to conduct an extensive empirical investigation of a diverse array of single-cell CRISPR screen datasets, identifying the most pressing statistical challenges that the data pose. Next, we develop statistical methods that address these challenges both in theory and practice. An application of the proposed methods to real data indicates considerably improved performance relative to existing methods. Finally, we implement the proposed methods in efficient and practical software aimed at working biologists. Taken together, these contributions help put single-cell CRISPR screen data analysis onto more solid statistical footing, thereby facilitating the application of single-cell CRISPR screen technology to accelerate biological discovery. The methods that we develop — which primarily focus on assumption- and compute-lean hypothesis testing — may be of independent statistical interest.

description: We present the photometric properties of a sample of infrared (IR) bright dust obscured galaxies (DOGs). Combining wide and deep optical images obtained with the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) on the Subaru Telescope and all-sky mid-IR (MIR) images taken with Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), we discovered 48 DOGs with $i - K_\mathrm{s} > 1.2$ and $i - [22] > 7.0$, where $i$, $K_\mathrm{s}$, and [22] represent AB magnitude in the $i$-band, $K_\mathrm{s}$-band, and 22 $μ$m, respectively, in the GAMA 14hr field ($\sim$ 9 deg$^2$). Among these objects, 31 ($\sim$ 65 %) show power-law spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the near-IR (NIR) and MIR regime, while the remainder show a NIR bump in their SEDs. Assuming that the redshift distribution for our DOGs sample is Gaussian, with mean and sigma $z$ = 1.99 $\pm$ 0.45, we calculated their total IR luminosity using an empirical relation between 22 $μ$m luminosity and total IR luminosity. The average value of the total IR luminosity is (3.5 $\pm$ 1.1) $\times$ $10^{13}$ L$_{\odot}$, which classifies them as hyper-luminous infrared galaxies (HyLIRGs). We also derived the total IR luminosity function (LF) and IR luminosity density (LD) for a flux-limited subsample of 18 DOGs with 22 $μ$m flux greater than 3.0 mJy and with $i$-band magnitude brighter than 24 AB magnitude. The derived space density for this subsample is log $ϕ$ = -6.59 $\pm$ 0.11 [Mpc$^{-3}$]. The IR LF for DOGs including data obtained from the literature is well fitted by a double-power law. The derived lower limit for the IR LD for our sample is $ρ_{\mathrm{IR}}$ $\sim$ 3.8 $\times$ 10$^7$ [L$_{\odot}$ Mpc$^{-3}$] and its contributions to the total IR LD, IR LD of all ultra-luminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), and that of all DOGs are $>$ 3 %, $>$ 9 %, and $>$ 15 %, respectively.

description: We study a free-boundary fluid–structure interaction problem with growth, which arises from the plaque formation in blood vessels. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, while the structure is considered as a viscoelastic incompressible neo-Hookean material. Moreover, the growth due to the biochemical process is taken into account. Applying the maximal regularity theory to a linearization of the equations, along with a deformation mapping, we prove the well-posedness of the full nonlinear problem via the contraction mapping principle.

Promoting Economic Opportunity for North Carolina Children and Families Through Children's Savings Accounts
Creators: name: O'Rourke, Sarah

Year: 2016

description: The economic success and post-recession recovery of the United States relies on the health and well being of its children. Yet, nearly one in four children in North Carolina live in poverty. Children who grow up in poverty are at risk for a host of poor outcomes, both in childhood and as they transition into adolescence and adulthood. Education has been seen as a way out of poverty, but rising tuition costs are increasing the debt burden on low-income students. Social investments that promote wealth accumulation, such as Children's Savings Accounts, are essential to creating opportunities and preparing the next generation to become a productive and innovative workforce. Students with even small amounts of savings under $500 are three times more likely to enroll in college and four times more likely to graduate. Results from initial CSA program studies have been promising, including improved social-emotional development among children, reduced maternal depressive symptoms and increased college expectations among children and parents. A state CSA program would have an immeasurable impact on child well-being and the economic growth of the entire state.

description: Access to hormone treatment is imperative to improving mental health outcomes for transgender individuals. Furthermore, providing transgender-specific healthcare services helps increase access to healthcare for a population that often faces discrimination in healthcare settings and is less likely to access healthcare services in general. Since its inception one year ago, Virginia League for Planned Parenthood’s Transgender Services Program has provided needed hormone therapy services to 490 transgender patients in Virginia. A program evaluation was conducted in order to determine patient and staff satisfaction, effectiveness of recruitment strategies, access to care, staff preparedness and effectiveness of programmatic systems. Patient and staff surveys were disseminated and 103 patients and 18 staff members completed the survey. 96% of patients and 83% of staff members indicated satisfaction with the program. 73% of patients accessed hormone therapy services for the first time through Virginia League for Planned Parenthood’s Transgender Services Program, and 27% of patients have accessed other forms of healthcare at Planned Parenthood. However, just 72% of clinic staff members are confident in their ability to serve members of the transgender community, and 64% of staff members say that the documentation systems they use to record patient data could be improved. Program recommendations include providing cultural competency training for all new staff members, providing1 an overview of Planned Parenthood’s healthcare services in every Transgender Services intake appointment and conducting further research to determine specific changes that can be made to improve Transgender Services Program documentation systems.

description: We calculate the transverse momentum dependence in the production of two back-to-back hadrons in electron-positron annihilations at the medium/large energy scales of BES-III and BELLE experiments. We use the parameters of the transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) fragmentation functions that were recently extracted from the semi-inclusive deep-inelastic-scattering multiplicities at low energy from HERMES. TMD evolution is applied according to different approaches and using different parameters for the nonperturbative part of the evolution kernel, thus exploring the sensitivity of our results to these different choices and to the flavor dependence of parton fragmentation functions. We discuss how experimental measurements could discriminate among the various scenarios.

description: The YARH-3 summative evaluation will be the first rigorous evaluation of Colorado’s Pathways comprehensive service model. The Pathways implementation study will support interpretation of youth outcomes and identify factors that contributed to or inhibited implementation of Pathways in different counties. The implementation study will assess different contexts in which Pathways is being implemented and the fidelity to which Pathways is being implemented. The implementation study will use multiple methods to collect, analyze, and report on data from a subset of both intervention (Pathways) and comparison (business as usual Chafee services) counties. The implementation study will conduct document reviews, site visits, and analyses of administrative data. Two rounds of site visits to selected sites in the implementation study sample will be conducted to speak with a range of stakeholders involved in Pathways services and comparison services. Information will be collected early in enrollment and closer to the end of the enrollment period.
Assessment and Evaluation of EarthquakeInduced Soil Liquefaction Potential: A Case Study in Hawassa Town
Creators: name: Haimanot Gashaw
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020
Subjects: ArcGIS, Liquefaction, Qualitative approach, LPI, SPT

description: Hawassa is located in the Rift Valley of seismically active area which is found on alluvial
 deposit. On top of this, high population growth, rapid development and being a lake side
 town makes the liquefaction problem a potential hazard that calls for serious consideration
 in Hawassa. This study evaluated the potential of liquefaction in the town based on soil
 type and characteristics, rock units, slope data and soil investigation data. Analysis of soil
 type, rock units and slope of landforms in the town examined using qualitative approach.
 Available subsurface investigation data of Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Ground Water
 Table (GWT) and Fine Content (FC) for the selected four sites also used to evaluate
 liquefaction potential of soil using Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI) values of
 probabilistic analysis and deterministic method. SeismoMatch software used for
 earthquake matching in probabilistic analysis and ArcGIS software also used to show
 liquefaction susceptible areas in the town based on qualitative approach. According to the
 analysis result, central, northern and the areas along Lake Hawassa side were
 comparatively susceptible to liquefaction hazard than the south and southeast part of the
 town. Selected sites in this study have fallen under low and very low liquefaction severity
 categories since the LPI were on the range of 0 to 5 for the considered earthquake
 magnitudes of 6.5, 6.7, 6.9 and 7.2. This study recommended, emphasis should be given
 for areas in threat with liquefaction
The effect of religion and religiosity on contraception decisions among emerging adults
Creators: name: Lemoine, Laetitia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: Emerging adults (age 18-25) are at high risk for unplanned pregnancy because of their relatively low use of contraception. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of religion and religiosity on contraceptive behaviors among emerging adults. Using different search criteria and databases, thirteen studies were selected for review. Overall, there appears to be negligible influence of religion on contraceptive use among emerging adults. Religiosity had an effect to a certain extent, but there is not enough evidence to make any firm conclusions. None of the studies examined emerging adults who were not enrolled in college, which was an important limitation. Yet, the findings have implications for religious communities and for providers who offer birth control counseling. Further research is urged.
Career Identity Development of “Dependent” Immigrant Women: A Qualitative Exploration
Creators: name: Rastogi, Deepika
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2018
Subjects: Career identity
Dependent immigrants
Qualitative

description: The purpose of the proposed study was to understand the process of career identity development among women immigrants arriving as applicants with dependent status, where career identity refers to a generalized perception of one’s career-related interests and potential in terms of acceptable career roles. Previous research has shown that the majority of dependent applicants under the economic class of immigrants are women and constitute a group of talented persons, possessing the skills to contribute positively to Canada’s economy. However, immigrant women who arrive on a dependent visa to Canada have largely been ignored within immigrant literature. Exploring their career-related experiences upon immigration may assist in understanding the effect of these experiences on their developing career identity. This in turn may lead to useful information in terms of how to tap into their potential and help them realize their career goals, within an evolving process of career development. Adopting a constructivist approach, a qualitative enquiry inspired by a grounded theory methodology was carried out to identify some of the key themes relevant to immigrant women’s career identity development and possible interactions between those themes. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to recruit six participants for the study. Semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions were conducted with each participant. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s (2012) six-phase method of conducting thematic analysis to generate themes and subthemes. Eight main themes were generated and include: On board the Canadian dream, Coming to terms with “dependent” status, Maintaining equilibrium, Tipping point, Grieving the loss of preferred career trajectory, Taking agency, Redirecting one’s career path, and Emergence of a strengthened career identity. Findings from the study shed light on some of the gender-specific experiences that women immigrants undergo in their career journey, and may provide useful information to career counsellors who play a critical role in helping immigrants navigate through career transitions in a new country.
Assessing the Hydraulic Performance of Flow Impact on Bridge Structures: The Case of Saris and Lafto Bridges in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Gezahagn Getiso
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Bridge, Peak Flood, HEC-RAS, Abutment Scour, Contraction Scour

description: Bridges that cross the rivers and valleys are vital components of the road network that
 contributes significantly to the national development and public daily life. Any damage or
 collapse of bridge can risk the lives of road users as well as create serious influence to
 the entire country.Saris and Lafto Bridge are constructed on Little Akaki River in Addis
 Ababa city as cross drainage structure to connect the Highway Road from Saris to Saint
 Hana Mariam Road and Mebrat to Lafto road respectively. This study work focuses on
 Assessing hydraulic performance of flow impact on Both Bridges and the main target of
 the work is to evaluate the hydraulic performance of the bridges by using HEC-RAS
 software. In case the bridge is at risk due to the failures of the abutment retaining wall,
 scour at the abutment, debris, and the river bed of the bridge structure failure. Hence
 this research provides the hydraulic performance of the Bridge from the hydrological and
 hydraulic analysis. From the hydrological aspect, Generalized extreme value
 Distribution was selected from easy software and the design flood at different return
 periods was estimate by the Flood Frequency Analysis method and the peak discharge
 for 100 year return period of Saris Bridge is 263.9m3/s and for the Lafto bridge
 253.03m3/s . Based on the result from the Saris Bridge HEC-RAS model the significant
 bed scours were modeled and abutment local scour depth for the estimated design flood
 of 100 year return period is 3.3m at left abutment and 3.45m at right abutment and the
 contraction scour or bed scour is 1m. For the Lafto Bridge Scour depth for estimated
 design flood of 100 year return period is 2.1 at the left and 2.14m at right abutment and
 the contraction scour is1.48. In addition to this the steady flow water surface profile is
 checked and the result shows that the water surface elevation of Saris and Lafto Bridges
 are lower than the low chord elevation of the Bridges, so the flood could not over top
 even for design flood of 100 year return period. Finally, depending on the HEC-RAS
 software model the scour mitigation methods constructing the wing wall with riprap are
 recommended besides this the agricultural practice should far from the bridge location
 and bridges must be kept free of obstructions.

description: Phase change materials are a technologically important materials class and are used for data storage in rewritable DVDs and in phase change random access memory. Furthermore, new applications for phase change materials are emerging. Phase change materials with a high structural quality, such as offered by epitaxial films, are needed in order to study the fundamental properties of phase change materials and to improve our understanding of this materials class. Here, we review the progress made in the growth of crystalline phase change materials by physical methods, such as molecular beam epitaxy, sputtering, and pulsed laser deposition. First, we discuss the difference and similarities between these physical deposition methods and the crystal structures of Ge2Sb2Te5, the prototype phase change material. Next, we focus on the growth of epitiaxial GST films on (0 0 1)- and (1 1 1)-oriented substrates, leading to the conclusion that (1 1 1)-oriented substrates are preferred for the growth of phase change materials. Finally, the growth of GeTe/Sb2Te3 superlattices on amorphous and single crystalline substrates is discussed.
