description:
In fluid-driven mineral replacement reactions, reaction-induced porosity generation is one of the most important mechanisms that provide fluid pathways into the reaction front. Our multi-scale electron microscopic imaging techniques show that majority of these generated pores are at the nanometer scale. Due to the large surface-to-volume ratios, fluids confined in this nanoporous rock network demonstrate new properties. For example, the permittivity of nanoconfined water is no longer a scalar quantity like bulk and shows a tensorial behavior because of the anisotropy of the system perpendicular to the wall direction. In the present study, we used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the out-of-plane permittivity of water confined between two mineral slabs at elevated pressures and temperatures. We explored the rock material effect by simulating calcite, brucite, and quartz as confining minerals. In all cases, with the reduction of the width of the nanochannel the out-of-plane permittivity of water declines. Thus, in smaller nanopores (φ<10 nm) there is a significant difference between the permittivity of nanoconfined and bulk water that can have a profound impact on mineral solubility, aqueous speciation, and fluid transport properties in nanoporous metamorphic rocks. Although a rise in the out-of-plane permittivity is seen through the decreasing temperature or increasing pressure, its value in all cases is much lower than the bulk water dielectric constant in similar conditions.

description:
Zircon (ZrSiO4) is the most used mineral in geochronology. Recent methods let to date zircon with precision of 1-2% error (Schaltegger et al., 2015) by SHRIMP/SIMS (high-resolution ion microprobe/secondary ion mass spectrometry) and LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry) with a precision of 1-3.2% (Sundell et al., 2021). In comparison to other methods, CA-ID-TIMS (chemical abrasion isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry) enables to date zircons with very high precision of only 0.1% error (>10 times more precise than other methods). Zircon cannot be always used for dating, because not all rocks have zircon in their composition. For example, carbonatites do not always contain zircons, but they contain baddeleyite, which also can be applied as a geochronometer. SHRIMP/SIMS and LA-ICP-MS are fast and inexpensive methods used to date different minerals, including baddeleyite. However, the precision of these methods is not adequate to define a sequence of magmatic intrusions. CA-ID-TIMS dating uses a standard chemical abrasion procedure (CA), which was developed especially for zircon and cannot be applied for baddeleyite. Therefore, the CA method must be adjusted for baddeleyite before the dating is possible.

Rioux et al. (2010) designed numerous experiments to adjust chemical abrasion procedures for baddeleyite dating and achieved some positive results. However, the same effective method of treatment for baddeleyite as for zircon has not yet been developed. In this study, we present the first results of experiments with baddeleyite. We significantly reduced the effect of Pb-loss and increased measurement precision to the values of zircon (0.1%).

We review all the known formulations of the N=1 goldstino theories and we generalize them to an arbitrary number N of non-linearly realized supersymmetries. We explicitly prove the equivalence of all these extended supersymmetry breaking models containing N goldstini and reformulate the theory with N supersymmetries in terms of standard N=1 constrained superfields.

Effect Of Supply Chain Integration On Lead Time: The Case Of Ethio-Nippon Technical Company S. C.
Creators: name: Mulugeta, Tsion
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Over the years, the concept of Supply Chain Integration (SCI) and its effect on firm performance has been an essential topic of interest in the field of Supply Chain Management (SCM). Short Lead time is one of the contributor to improved organizational performance. The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of supply chain integration on lead time in the case of Ethio-Nippon Technical Company S.C.. A conceptual framework is developed linking the three supply chain integration dimensions (Supplier, Customer and internal) with lead time. An explanatory research design was employed to assess the current relationship between lead times and the three dimension of supply chain integration. By using non probability sampling technique i.e. purposive sampling technique from a total of 113 employees who are working in the company Procurement & Sales and After Sales Support Department 56 employees were selected whose educational status is diploma and above, who have a thorough knowledge and direct relation with the topic in discussion. Structured questionnaire was used as a research tool for collecting data. Interview was conducted with the Managers of Procurement & Sales and After Sales Support Departments. From the total questionnaires distributed 53 were returned. The collected data was analyzed using both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as correlation and linear regression. Findings of the study shows that there is a poor Supply Chain Integration in the company. Majority of the respondents disagree in the availability of good supply chain integration in the company and short lead time for the provision of services required by customers by rating low in all the dimensions of supply chain integration and lead time. The Study concluded that the company has weak supply chain integration and extended lead time for the services provided to its customers. Supplier Integration, Customer Integration and Internal Integration have significant relationship with lead time of the company. But even if supplier integration has significant relationship with lead time it doesn't have a significant effect on the company's service lead time. Based on the findings, the study also recommends a number of points that improves the integration between the various supply chain partners and the company in addition to the recommendation direction for future research are provided

description:

In the Equatorial Mid Atlantic Ridge at 7-8°N the Doldrums Fracture Zone (FZ) is located: a complex transform system characterized by four ‘intratransform’ ridge segments (ITRs) bounded by five active transforms (Skolotnev at el., 2020). We determined major element, trace element and Sr, Nd, Hf and Pb isotope compositions for on-axis lavas erupted along the entire fracture domain. Basalts from the central ITRs are selectively enriched in alkalis (Na2O+K2O= 4.3 wt%; Na8 up to 3.7) and LREE (La/SmN=0.86 -0.97), in agreement with low melting degrees in a cold intra-transform regime. Despite this, they have the most depleted Sr and Pb isotope compositions in the entire Equatorial MAR (i.e. 87Sr/86Sr = 0.70237 and 206Pb/204Pb = 18), coupled with comparatively less depleted Nd and Hf isotope compositions, which instead plot in the field of regional MORB (143Nd/144Nd = 0.5131-0.5232; 177Hf/176Hf = 0.2831-0.2832). Hence, the magmatism at the ITRs was predominately sourced by a depleted mantle source, melted at very low melting degrees. On this basis we suggest that the upper mantle currently melting beneath the central portion of the Doldrums FZ has previously undergone partial melting at the MAR axis, consuming the most fertile, isotopically enriched heterogeneities.

description: Perturbed angular correlation (PAC) measurements using the In-111 probe were carried out on FeGa3 as part of a broader investigation of indium site occupation and cadmium diffusion in intermetallic compounds. One PAC signal was observed with hyperfine parameters w1 = 513.8(1) Mrad/s and eta = 0.939(2) at room temperature. By comparison with quadrupole frequencies observed in PAC measurements on isostructural RuIn3, it was determined that indium occupies only the 8j site in the FeGa3 structure, denoted Ga(2) below because two out of the three Ga sites have this point symmetry. PAC spectra at elevated temperature exhibited damping characteristic of electric field gradients (EFGs) that fluctuate as Cd probes jump among Ga(2) sites within the lifetime of the excited PAC level. A stochastic model for the EFG fluctuations based on four conceivable, single-step jump-pathways connecting one Ga(2) site to neighboring Ga(2) sites was developed and used to fit PAC spectra. The four pathways lead to two observable EFG reorientation rates, and these reorientation rates were found to be strongly dependent on EFG orientation. Calculations using density functional theory were used to reduce the number of unknowns in the model with respect to EFG orientation. This made it possible to determine with reasonable precision the total jump rate of Cd among Ga(2) sites that correspond to a change in mirror plane orientation of site-symmetry. This total jump rate was found to be thermally activated with an activation enthalpy of 1.8(1) eV.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: Grey water is one kind of wastewater that is characterized by medium contents of BOD, COD, Tot-N, Tot-P, suspended solids and dissolved solids. It is discharged to the environment without any treatment and significantly affects the environmental media such as soil and water. It also damage microorganism and aquatic life. Therefore, the objective of this study was to reduce the pollutant load of organic and nutrient contents from the grey water to an acceptable level by treating the wastewater using activated carbon of corn cob as an adsorbent. In this study, the effects of adsorbent particle size, adsorbent dosage, pH, adsorption time and agitated speed on the pollutant reduction were investigated in batch experiments. The influent results revealed that the COD, BOD, Tot-N, Tot-P, Turbidity and Conductivity of the grey water were concentration of 1500 mg/L, 152 mg/L, 9.73 mg/L, 15.5 mg/L, 6.64 ms/cm and 200 NTU respectively. On the other hand, the effluent results on the optimum values (pH; 6.5, activated carbon dosage; 0.35 g, time; 60 minutes) showed that the pollutant loads of grey water were reduced to 89 mg/l, 3 mg/l, 0.25 mg/l, 0.4 mg/l, 4.01 NTU and 2.24 ms/cm respectively. Consequently, the experimental results indicated that the agricultural waste corn cob has a potential to be used as an activated carbon for treatment of grey water which is safe and environmentally friendly.

description: The present work deals with a detailed study of universal thermodynamics in different modified gravity theories. The validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) and thermodynamical equilibrium (TE) of the Universe bounded by a horizon (apparent/event) in f(R)-gravity, Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity, RS-II brane scenario and DGP brane model has been investigated. In the perspective of recent observational evidences, the matter in the Universe is chosen as interacting holographic dark energy model. The entropy on the horizons are evaluated from the validity of the unified first law and as a result there is a correction (in integral form) to the usual Bekenstein entropy. The other thermodynamical parameter namely temperature on the horizon is chosen as the recently introduced corrected Hawking temperature. The above thermodynamical analysis is done for homogeneous and isotropic flat FLRW model of the Universe. The restrictions for the validity of GSLT and the TE are presented in tabular form for each gravity theory. Finally, due to complicated expressions, the validity of GSLT and TE are also examined from graphical representation, using three Planck data sets.

description: Light massive string states can appear at D-brane intersections with small angles. We compute tri-linear Yukawa couplings of such open-string states to massless ones and to one another. Due to ambiguities in the normalisation of the vertex operators, that involve twist fields, we proceed via factorization of appropriate scattering amplitudes. Some peculiar features are observed that may lead to interesting signatures at colliders in the future.

Adopting Freight Demand Forecasting Model for Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway
Creators: name: Arefeayne, Amare
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Freight transportation is an essential component of any economic activity which makes a continuous change as a result of growth but many economic activities depend on traffic congestion and truck travel time along the origins and destinations which makes series problem mainly for land locked countries like Ethiopia. This is because government and organization pay undesired tax for the stay of goods at the port. In order to solve this problem different countries use different forecasting models which are designed to predict the future need of the country. This thesis work identifies major freight forecasting projection models, discusses those models, chooses the better model based on the merits and demerits of each model and forecasts with one of the classic freight forecasting model which is called four-stage aggregate model (hybrid with its own parameters) to show how it works in the context of Ethiopia by taking traffic congestion as a main problem. As part of this work trip generated using growth factor and linear regression and mode choice along the path has been done by incorporating the truck traffic count, commodity tonnage share and an expense given to each item. This hybrid four-stage aggregate model which begins with trip generation step and gives a result of 3,351,406 trips when working with Annual Growth Factor (AGF) and 57,974 trips with linear regression method. And a comparison between this a model and a model forecasted by ERC has been compared and found ERC model which generates 119,419 trips nearly comparable with linear regression method even though the parameters used here are different. From the total number of trips generated trains took 79 percent mode share and truck took remaining modal share. The distribution and an assignment step is not done because, the demand investigating here focuses only origin and destination. Finally the thesis find out forecasting with four-stage aggregate model(Hybrid model) which uses traffic counts, commodity tonnage share and an expense growth rate given for each items as input parameter is better model in order to generate number of trips along the line. This is because import and export tonnage rates can easily affected by the influence of economy, industrial location patterns, globalization of business, fuel prices,cumulatively can affect the traffic congestion

description: Simultaneous planning and control of a large variety of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is tackled using the harmonic potential field (HPF) approach. A dense reference velocity field generated from the gradient of an HPF is used to regulate the velocity of the UAV concerned in a manner that would propel the UAV to a target point while enforcing the constraints on behavior that were a priori encoded in the reference field. The regulation process is carried-out using a novel and simple concept called the: virtual velocity attractor (VVA). The combined effect of the HPF gradient and the VVA is found able to yield an efficient, easy to implement, well-behaved and provably-correct context-sensitive control action that suits a wide variety of UAVs. The approach is developed and basic proofs of correctness are provided along with simulation results.

description: We calculate current and density distributions in stripe (2D planar) junctions between normal and Majorana nanowires having a finite ($y$) transverse length. In presence of a magnetic field with vertical and in-plane components, the $y$-symmetry of the charge current distribution in the normal lead changes strongly across the Majorana phase transition: from center-symmetric if a Majorana mode is present to laterally-shifted (as expected by the Hall effect) if the field is tilted such as to destroy the Majorana mode due to the projection rule. We compare quasi-particle and charge distributions of current and density, as well as spin magnetizations. The Majorana mode causes opposite spin accumulations on the junction and the emergence of a spin current.

Evaluating Penitential of "SUPHE" Soil as A Coagulating Agent in Primary Treatment of Asella Malt Factory Wastewater
Creators: name: Arega, Getaneh
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Malt industries generate large amounts of wastewater effluent which contains a high concentration of biodegradable and non-biodegradable organic compounds which are poisonous to the environment and to eco system if discharged untreated. In this study, treatment performance of "Suphe" soil was evaluated first by treating composite malting waste water samples collected from different stages of production process at three different doses which were, 50mg/l, 500mg/l, 1000mg/l of "Suphe" soil in order to remove COD, BOD, TSS, then it was followed by adjusting the pH of waste water at acidic (pH 5), neutral (pH 7) and basic (pH9) medias. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) 0.1N and Sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4 ) 0.1 N were used for adjusting the pH at the desired levels and the removal efficiency of "Suphe" soil was best recorded at pH of 7 and coagulant dose of 50 mg/l. Design-Expert 7.0.0 three-level-three-factor Box-Bhenken Design (BBD) was applied for experimental design and statistical analysis of results. Coagulant dose, pH of wastewater, and settling time had a significant effect on treatment process of malting wastewater samples process. For this treatment system, a set of experiments was performed to investigate removal of COD, BOD and TSS at different experimental phases. From these analyses, Results on overall efficiency had COD and BOD removal performance of 94.3% and 94.4 % for the first wet steep; 97.7%and 97.1% for the second wet steep and 96.3% and 96.1% for the composite treated effluent respectively. Andthe turbidity removal efficiency of the "Suphe" soil coagulant was 98.76%, 99% and 99.83% respectively for first wet steep, second wet steep and finally treated composite effluent at coagulant dose of 50 mg/l and pH of 7 On the other hand at the same pH level in which "suphe" soil was used, Alum turbidity removal efficiency was 96.2%, 96.6%and 99.4% respectively as mentioned above. Therefore, "Suphe" soil is found to lay a significant malting wastewater pretreatment agent which has the potential to replace the hydrated aluminum sulphate.

description: We study meson thermalization in a strongly coupled plasma of quarks and gluons using AdS/CFT duality technique. Four dimensional large-Nc QCD is considered as a theory governing this quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and D4/D6- brane model is chosen to be its holographic dual theory. In order to investigate meson thermalization, we consider a time-dependent change of baryon number chemical potential. Thermalization in gauge theory side corresponds to horizon formation on the probe flavor brane in the gravity side. The gravitational dual theory is compactified on a circle that the inverse of its radius is proportional to energy scale of dual gauge theory. It is seen that increase of this energy scale results in thermalization time dilation. In addition we study the effect of magnetic field on meson thermalization. It will be seen that magnetic field also prolongs thermalization process by making mesons more stable.

description: We report a simultaneous ground and space-based photometric study of the Beta Cephei star Nu Eridani. Half a year of observations have been obtained by four of the five satellites constituting BRITE-Constellation, supplemented with ground-based photoelectric photometry. We show that carefully combining the two data sets virtually eliminates the aliasing problem that often hampers time-series analyses. We detect 40 periodic signals intrinsic to the star in the light curves. Despite a lower detection limit we do not recover all the pressure and mixed modes previously reported in the literature, but we newly detect six additional gravity modes. This behaviour is a consequence of temporal changes in the pulsation amplitudes that we also detected for some of the p modes. We point out that the dependence of theoretically predicted pulsation amplitude on wavelength is steeper in visual passbands than those observationally measured, to the extent that the three dominant pulsation modes of Nu Eridani would be incorrectly identified using data in optical filters only. We discuss possible reasons for this discrepancy.

Modelling and Analysis of the Life Cycle Cost of Addis Ababa to Djibouti Railway Track
Creators: name: Abiselom, Mehari
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Rail infrastructure is a large and costly investment, therefore infrastructure managers should manage the infrastructures properly to achieve the aim of the project. Ones the railway line is constructed it should be managed efficiently. In order to have an efficiently management system the infrastructure manager should know all cost during railways life time. Life cycle cost analysis help the infrastructure manager to know the cost of maintenance, risk, renewal, organization, Train delay and initial cost. The aim of this research is to analyze the Life cycle cost of Addis Ababa – Djibouti Railway track. In this research rail, Sleeper and ballast LCC models are developed separately. For the rail and Sleeper LCC model, an existing model is used, whereas for the ballast LCC model, a new model is proposed based on a track geometry degradation model. This paper also describes a decision support system approach for railway track maintenance and renewal management system to analyze the track components and suggests methods for helping the track managers and help engineers decide when maintenance is necessary and when is the best time for renewal. In this Thesis, the Life cycle cost of the track is determined and the results shows that the maintenance cost of rail using lubrication has less LCC than without use lubrication. The analysis also shows the best Grinding interval, Inspection interval, Tamping interval and Renewal interval which give the least LCC of the line.

Year: 2023

description: This study explores how leadership affects organisational learning capability (OLC) in enhancing organisational performance and community engagement in Hong Kong higher education. University-community engagement here refers to the partnership between universities and local communities for the public good, with both partners contributing their expertise to serve the community. A self-financed research centre of a university in Hong Kong was chosen for this study. A mixed methods approach was used. Questionnaires were distributed to principal office bearers of all local communities who have been working with the research centre in providing services to students with special educational needs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with all staff members, and focus groups comprising centre staff and collaborating local communities were organised. Survey data were analysed using path modelling and regression analysis. Thematic analysis was used to analyse interview and focus group data. Results show that leaders of the research centre enable staff to see they are trusted, empowered, and supported in their learning and discharging duties. The impact of the leadership is enhanced by the mediating role of organisational learning capability (i.e., conducive learning culture environment and routinised learning infrastructure) on organisational performance. The research also reveals that good organisational performance does facilitate university-community engagement. The heads of local communities echo in focus groups that they perceived the research centre as competitive because of its performance competence and because it provides knowledge-laden input in university-community engagement. Thus, this study sheds light on the importance of leadership and the building and managing the knowledge base, a critical capability of OLC, to attract local communities for collaboration to secure funding and the growth of self-financed higher education research centres.

description: This paper presents a detailed analysis of the pseudocontact shift (PCS) field induced by a mobile spin label that is viewed as a probability density distribution with an associated effective magnetic susceptibility anisotropy. It is demonstrated that non-spherically-symmetric density can lead to significant deviations from the commonly used point dipole approximation for PCS. Analytical and numerical solutions are presented for the general partial differential equation that describes the non-point case. It is also demonstrated that it is possible, with some reasonable approximations, to reconstruct paramagnetic centre probability distributions from the experimental PCS data.

description: Recently ATLAS reported a $3.3σ$ excess in the stop search with $\ell+jets+E_T^{miss}$ channel. We try to interpret the signal by a light stop pair production in the MSSM. We find: (1) simple models where stop decays into a higgsino or a bino are not favored. (2) an extension of them can explain the data at $2σ$ level without conflicting with the other search channels. A surviving possibility includes a light stop and a light higgsino, which is expected in a natural SUSY scenario.

description: We present a numerical study of quasiperiodic foams, in which the bubbles are generated as duals of quasiperiodic Frank-Kasper phases. These foams are investigated as potential candidates to the celebrated Kelvin problem for the partition of three-dimensional space with equal volume bubbles and minimal surface area. Interestingly, one of the computed structures falls close (but still slightly above) the best known Weaire-Phelan periodic candidate. This gives additional clues to understanding the main geometrical ingredients driving the Kelvin problem.
Pulp Production from Agricultural Residues

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Growth in pulp and paper production entails massive felling of trees, which in turn leads to deforestation. Increasing competition for wood supplies coupled with gradually rising costs of wood have generated renewed interest in the use of non-wood plant fibers for papermaking in the highly industrialized countries. The utilization of agricultural residues for the production of value-added products presents an innovative opportunity for sustainable resource management, provides additional income for farmers and contributes to the development of rural economies. In this study pulping of wheat straw was carried out by conventional soda-antraquinone (AQ) pulping under different conditions. The influence of soda concentration (10, 12 and 14% on the basis of dried wheat straw), cooking temperature (155,160 and 1650C) and cooking time (20, 35 and 50 min) on pulp properties were studied. Results indicated that soda concentration and cooking time had a significant influence on yield and kappa number. However the best result with respect to yield and kappa number was obtained with 10% soda concentration with 20 min cooking time. Physical tests of hand sheets made from wheat straw soda-AQ pulps were carried out at Ethiopian Pulp and Paper Factory located at Wonji. At the optimum operating conditions tensile, tear and burst index were determined to be 67.9 Nm/g, 7.5 mNm2/g and 7.3 kN/g respectively.

description: The EDELWEISS-III direct dark matter search experiment uses cryogenic HP-Ge detectors Fully covered with Inter-Digitized electrodes (FID). They are operated at low fields ($<1\;\mathrm{V/cm}$), and as a consequence charge-carrier trapping significantly affects both the ionization and heat energy measurements. This paper describes an analytical model of the signals induced by trapped charges in FID detectors based on the Shockley-Ramo theorem. It is used to demonstrate that veto electrodes, initially designed for the sole purpose of surface event rejection, can be used to provide a sensitivity to the depth of the energy deposits, characterize the trapping in the crystals, perform heat and ionization energy corrections and improve the ionization baseline resolutions. These procedures are applied successfully to actual data.

Addis Ababa’s sefer, iddir, and gebbi

Publisher: name: A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment
Year: 2023

description: This research is motivated by the scholarly calls for new concepts and analytic tools for documenting, analysing, and theorizing complex urban territories such as those of cities in Africa. With implicit comparative intent, it takes the case of Addis Ababa city and its old and typifying places—the sefer, to develop and test a new architectural transdisciplinary research methodology referred to as the trinocular. By way of this methodology, it unearths and introduces sefer, iddir, and gebbi of Addis Ababa as not only socio-spatial phenomena but concepts and vocabulary for a located and nuanced reading of the city itself. Sefer are introduced as flexible boundary conditions that are primarily cognized by their dwellers—results of indigenous and autochthonous foundation and continued processes of self-actualization by communities that construct them. Iddir is unearthed as a form of social capital embedded in sefer that appears in the structures of relations among residents. And the gebbi as an urban spatial typology that constitutes the sefer’s morphology—the last frontier of communality just prior domestic spaces which, in many cases, can be a single multi-functional room. These concepts and vocabulary, it is argued, in both practical and metaphoric sense, should be the starting point of new urban imaginaries for Addis Ababa. Urban planning and housing projections thus, should draw inspiration from these notions, elements, and phenomena. Furthermore, lessons learnt from the trinocular and the findings are presented as new avenues for architectural research in similar, less-known, and complex urban conditions as the sefer of Addis Ababa.

Computer Program for Railway Bridge Management
Creators: name: Abdurehman, Muleta
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: A railway route contains a number of bridge structures along its path. Consequently during operation, these bridges go through different type of load and stresses; as a result the bridges get damaged. The severity of the damage is mainly dependent on the volume of traffic, tonnage of the rolling stock, service year of the bridge, maneuver of users, etc. But in order to determine whether a bridge needs to be maintained or reconstructed, there must be an investigation, either thorough or timely scheduled investigation. Asset management is a strategic and systematic process through which an organization procures, operates, maintains, rehabilitates, and replaces assets to manage their performance, risks, and costs over their lifecycle to provide safe, cost-effective, and reliable service to current and future customers. For an organization to have a proficient bridge asset management, incorporating BMS in the system is very important. BMS is a formal procedure for collecting, processing, and updating data, predicting deterioration, identifying alternative actions and predicting their costs, and identifying optimal preservation policies. For an effective bridge management, computer aided management system is a very valuable choice that would serve the need of the authorized legal entity management personnel those responsible for monitoring of Railway Bridges, and managing bridge maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. This research study is focused to develop and introduce a computer program that could assist specially bridge asset management decision making. Transportation accesses are critical to the well being of the nation. And one of the biggest factors to influence transportation is railway transport service. It supports everyday social, political and economic activities by linking communities and connecting people with services. Hence, keeping the railway infrastructures in good condition is keeping the railway transport service efficiently. The computer program graphical interface is designed using Visual Basic Programming tool which is user friendly and easy to slot in all necessary information in to the computer. The data encoded in to the software are stored for fast and reliable accessibility using SQL (Server Query Language) Server, which allows all authorized computers on the network to access the information on their desk. The computer program does bridge registration and inventory, inspection data processing, priority ranking, maintenance cost estimation and maintenance plan generation.
Periodically Driven Three-Level Systems

description: We study the dynamics of a three-level system (ThLS) sinusoidally driven in both longitudinal and transverse directions and in the presence of a uniaxial anisotropy $D$ entering the generic Hamiltonian through the zero-energy splitting term $D(S^{z})^{2}$ where $S^{z}$ is the projection of the spin vector along the quantization direction. As a consequence of the addition of this term, the order of the symmetry group of the Hamiltonian is increased by a unit and we observe a sequence of cascaded $SU(3)$ Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana (LZSM) interferometers. The study is carried out by analytically and numerically calculating the probabilities of non-adiabatic and adiabatic evolutions. For non-adiabatic evolutions, two main approximations based on the weak and strong driving limits are discussed by comparing the characteristic frequency of the longitudinal drive with the amplitudes of driven fields. For each of the cases discussed, our analytical results quite well reproduce the gross temporal profile of the exact numerical probabilities. This allows us to check the range of validity of analytical results and confirm our assumptions. For adiabatic evolutions, a general theory is constructed allowing for the description of adiabatic passages in arbitrary ThLSs in which direct transitions between states with extremal spin projections are forbidden. A compact formula for adiabatic evolutions is derived and numerically tested for some illustrative cases. Interference patterns demonstrating multiple LZSM transitions are reported. Applications of our results to the Nitrogen Vacancy Center (NVC) in diamond are discussed.
