description: Galactic stellar populations are good tracers of the history of the Milky Way. Their study via Gaia astrometric and photometric data should allow to pinpoint the star formation history (SFH) in the disc and halo in a self-consistent dynamical model. Population synthesis models are efficient tools to measure the SFH from the distribution of the stars in the Hess diagram, thanks to different locations of stars according to their age and metallicity. We present the iterative strategy planned to fit the IMF and the SFH of the thin disk using the BGMFast scheme (del Alcazar et al., see poster) based on approximate bayesian computation (ABC) performed with HPC tools and, at the same time, the attempt to keep the self-consistent dynamical model by fitting the gravitational potential of the Milky Way to the stellar kinematics and densities from Gaia data (Robin et al., 2022).

description: We present the open-source radiative transfer code named HELIOS, which is constructed for studying exoplanetary atmospheres. In its initial version, the model atmospheres of HELIOS are one-dimensional and plane-parallel, and the equation of radiative transfer is solved in the two-stream approximation with non-isotropic scattering. A small set of the main infrared absorbers is employed, computed with the opacity calculator HELIOS-K and combined using a correlated-$k$ approximation. The molecular abundances originate from validated analytical formulae for equilibrium chemistry. We compare HELIOS with the work of Miller-Ricci & Fortney using a model of GJ 1214b, and perform several tests, where we find: model atmospheres with single-temperature layers struggle to converge to radiative equilibrium; $k$-distribution tables constructed with $\gtrsim 0.01$ cm$^{-1}$ resolution in the opacity function ($ \lesssim 10^3$ points per wavenumber bin) may result in errors $\gtrsim 1$-10 % in the synthetic spectra; and a diffusivity factor of 2 approximates well the exact radiative transfer solution in the limit of pure absorption. We construct "null-hypothesis" models (chemical equilibrium, radiative equilibrium and solar element abundances) for 6 hot Jupiters. We find that the dayside emission spectra of HD 189733b and WASP-43b are consistent with the null hypothesis, while it consistently under-predicts the observed fluxes of WASP-8b, WASP-12b, WASP-14b and WASP-33b. We demonstrate that our results are somewhat insensitive to the choice of stellar models (blackbody, Kurucz or PHOENIX) and metallicity, but are strongly affected by higher carbon-to-oxygen ratios. The code is publicly available as part of the Exoclimes Simulation Platform (ESP; exoclime.net).

Year: 2018

description: Online service quality has been found to be an important input to customer satisfaction of online marketing. This study follows a modified model of Swaid and Wigand that examines the relationships among the dimensions of e-service quality and customers' satisfaction to assess the online services quality tools and its effects on customers' satisfaction toward the Ethiopian five stars hotel websites. The research was conducted by administering 246 forms of questionnaires and 46 interviews. The findings discovered a positive significant effect between the dimensions of online services quality tools and customers satisfaction exceptReliability (system safety) which is negatively correlated with satisfaction. Website information quality, quality customer service and interactivity (contact) have the most important dimensions contributing to the customer satisfaction while trust and efficiency (system convenience) has the least dimensions contributing to customer satisfaction. The results of the study contribute to enhance the insights for the managers of the hotels how improve the quality of their online service quality tools in their websites

description: The theoretical understanding of time-dependence in magnetic quantum systems is of great importance in particular for cases where a unitary time evolution is accompanied by relaxation processes. A key example is given by the dynamics of single-molecule magnets where quantum tunneling of the magnetization competes with thermal relaxation over the anisotropy barrier. In this article we investigate how good a Lindblad approach describes the relaxation in giant spin models and how the result depends on the employed operator that transmits the action of the thermal bath.

description: The morphology of an elastic strip subject to vertical compressive stress on a frictional rigid substrate is investigated by a combination of theory and experiment. We find a rich variety of morphologies, which -when the bending elasticity dominates over the effect of gravity- are classified into three distinct types of states: pinned, partially slipped, and completely slipped, depending on the magnitude of the vertical strain and coefficient of static friction. We develop a theory of elastica under mixed clamped-hinged boundary conditions combined with the Coulomb-Amontons friction law, and find excellent quantitative agreement with simulations and controlled physical experiments. We also discuss the effect of gravity in order to bridge the difference in qualitative behaviors of stiff strips and flexible strings, or ropes. Our study thus complements recent work on elastic rope coiling, and takes a significant step towards establishing a unified understanding of how a thin elastic object interacts vertically with a solid surface.

Assessment on the Challenges Faced in the Delivery of Technical Training for Micro and Small Enterprises': The Case of Two Selected TVET Colleges in A.A City Administration.
Creators: name: Assefa, Ferede
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study was to assess the challenges of TVET Colleges in Addis Ababa city administration while providing technical training for SMEs development. The study has been conducted in two governmental TVET Colleges. The trainees, trainers, College management bodies, and bureau TVET experts were the main sources of data for the study. Stratified random sampling approach was employed in selecting the trainers and trainees. Questionnaires, interviews, observation check list, focus group discussion, and document analysis were the instruments used for the collection of data. The data obtained through questionnaires were analyzed using statistical instruments like percentage and weight mean values. The data are analyzed and interpreted qualitatively as well as quantitatively. The results obtained from the study suggest that, in the selected TVET Colleges, the availability and capability of class rooms; workshop and libraries are not satisfactory. Raw materials and inputs required for the training purpose are not available in the target colleges. Lack of budget and commitment of concerned bodies are also major challenges observed in TVET colleges which in turn contributed for the challenge in providing effective training to TVET trainees and SMEs. The colleges are not well organized internally. At the same time, the colleges are not fully working to improve potential for the industry and are not also appropriately using industries to deliver practical training to trainees. Short term training is not that much encouraging. Similarly, skills given in the TVET colleges are not practically from the need of industry. Finally, based on the findings and conclusions, the following points were recommended to address the existing challenges of the selected TVET colleges in the City administration.. Staff development in the Colleges; internally organized, Necessary facilities should also be fulfilled. In addition, tracery studies should be carried out before providing training, and trainees have to be encouraged in self-employment. Besides strengthening the labor market information system; establishing and enhancing technology transfer department; enhancing supervisory and professional support; offering opportunities for further training for trainers.

description: A class of integrable models, such as the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model, respond nonmonotonically to a periodic drive with respect to the driving parameters and freezes almost absolutely for certain combinations of the latter. In this paper, we go beyond the two-band structure of the Ising-like models studied previously and ask whether such unusual nonmonotonic response and near-absolute freezing occur in integrable systems with a higher number of bands. To this end, we consider a tight-binding model for bilayer graphene subjected to an interlayer potential difference. We find that when the potential is driven periodically, the system responds nonmonotonically to variations in the driving amplitude $V_0$ and frequency $ω$ and shows near absolute freezing for certain values of $V_0/ω$. However, the freezing occurs only in the presence of a constant bias in the driving, i.e., when $V= V'+V_0 \cos{ωt}$. When $V'=0$, the freezing is switched off for all values of $V_0/ω$. We support our numerical results with analytical calculations based on a rotating wave approximation. We also give a proposal to realize the driven bilayer system via ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, where the driving can be implemented by shaking the lattice.

description: Symmetrization of topologically ordered wavefunctions is a powerful method for constructing new topological models. Here, we study wavefunctions obtained by symmetrizing quantum double models of a group $G$ in the Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS) formalism. We show that symmetrization naturally gives rise to a larger symmetry group $\tilde G$ which is always non-abelian. We prove that by symmetrizing on sufficiently large blocks, one can always construct wavefunctions in the same phase as the double model of $\tilde G$. In order to understand the effect of symmetrization on smaller patches, we carry out numerical studies for the toric code model, where we find strong evidence that symmetrizing on individual spins gives rise to a critical model which is at the phase transitions of two inequivalent toric codes, obtained by anyon condensation from the double model of $\tilde G$.

Year: 2023

description: Pur nella diversità dei tanti argomenti trattati, dal fenomeno religioso alla questione di genere, ogni indagine portata avanti da Chiara e ogni sua considerazione teorica hanno una loro unità e omogeneità, perché si basano su un ben delineato disegno investigativo, su una definita mappa concettuale e su un solido impianto metodologico finalizzati alla conoscenza sociologica della porzione della realtà socio-culturale osservata. Nel suo procedere analitico, non è mai messa tra parentesi la costante problematizzazione e storicizzazione degli “oggetti” di ricerca, né vengono trascurati i criteri di interdisciplinarità, trasversalità e interdipendenza delle variabili. Il suo approccio teorico-metodologico, che restituisce forti risonanze dal paradigma di Mannheim da lei privilegiato, non imbriglia o segrega i risultati delle ricerche e le sintesi categoriali in “gabbie” interpretative, in protocolli vetero-positiviste o in rigidi modelli sistemico-strutturalisti.

Even in the diversity of the many topics covered, from the religious phenomenon to the gender question, each investigation pursued by Chiara and each of her theoretical considerations have their own unity and homogeneity, because they are based on a well-delineated investigative design, a defined conceptual map and a solid methodological framework aimed at sociological knowledge of the portion of the socio-cultural reality observed. In her analytical proceeding, the constant problematization and historicization of the research "objects" is never bracketed, nor are the criteria of interdisciplinarity, transversality and interdependence of variables neglected. Her theoretical-methodological approach, which returns strong resonances from the Mannheim paradigm she favors, does not harness or segregate research findings and categorical syntheses into interpretive "cages," vetero-positivist protocols or rigid systemic-structuralist models.

description: We compare mass-selected close pairs at z > 1 with the intrinsic galaxy merger rate in the Illustris Simulations. To do so, we construct three 140 arcmin^2 lightcone catalogs and measure pair fractions, finding that they change little or decrease with increasing redshift at z > 1. Consistent with current surveys, this trend requires a decrease in the merger-pair observability time, roughly as (1 + z)^-2, in order to measure the merger rates of the same galaxies. This implies that major mergers are more common at high redshift than implied by the simplest arguments assuming a constant observability time. Several effects contribute to this trend: (1) The fraction of massive, major (4:1) pairs which merge by today increases weakly from ~0.5 at z=1 to ~0.8 at z=3. (2) The median time elapsed between an observed pair and final remnant decreases by a factor of two from z~1 to z~3. (3) An increasing specific star formation rate (sSFR) decreases the time during which common stellar-mass based pair selection criteria could identify the mergers. The average orbit of the pairs at observation time varies only weakly, suggesting that the dynamical time is not varying enough to account by itself for the pair fraction trends. Merging pairs reside in dense regions, having overdensity ~10 to ~100 times greater than the average massive galaxy. We forward model the pairs to reconstruct the merger remnant production rate, showing that it is consistent with a rapid increase in galaxy merger rates at z > 1.

Year: 2023

description: L'autore intreccia la propria esperienza di camminatore con gli insegnamenti della Professoressa Canta, che ha avuto modo di conoscere all'Università e nei molti progetti di ricerca svolti insieme negli anni. La scientificità di un testo sociologico è molto simile al lavoro topografico di chi deve esplorare nuovi sentieri: attenzione alla parte teorica e alla bibliografia (le mappe), formulazione delle ipotesi (tracciare a tavolino una via) e sperimentazione concreta (l'esplorazione vera e propria). Ma l'insegnamento più importante che la Professoressa Canta lascia all'Autore è la consapevolezza che la ricerca non è un cammino solitario, ma di gruppo. Ci si confronta professionalmente e umanamente sui risultati, sulle ipotesi verificate, sulle prospettive future e la direzione da tenere, se modificarla, tornare indietro o proseguire. La ricerca scientifica è frutto di un appassionato e attento lavoro di equipe, con continui e costanti rimodellamenti in base alla sperimentazione e all'ascolto delle riflessioni altrui.

The author interweaves his own experience as a walker with the teachings of Professor Canta, whom he got to know at the University and in the many research projects carried out together over the years. The scientific nature of a sociological text is much like the topographical work of someone who has to explore new paths: attention to the theoretical part and the bibliography (the maps), formulation of hypotheses (plotting a path at the table) and concrete experimentation (the concrete exploration). But the most important lesson Professor Canta leaves with the author is the realization that research is not a solitary path, but a group one. There is professional and human discussion about the results, the hypotheses tested, the future prospects and the direction to take, whether to change it, go back or continue. A research is the result of passionate and careful teamwork, with continuous and constant reshaping based on experimentation and listening to the reflections of others.

Year: 2015

description: Job analysis is at the heart of all human resource practices, making it a critically important management activity in every organization. However, with increasing competition, shorter product life-cycles, rapid technological innovations, and the changing nature of organizational structures, its underlying assumptions are becoming increasingly questionablein today'sdynamic work environment. Moreover, the methods used by traditional job analysis are simply not applicable to many new and emerging jobs and some authors feel it may even be anobstacle to organizational success. This has led to calls for a more proactive and strategic approach to job analysis so that the procedures will continue to be relevant. In this research paper, the researcher was tried to emphasized on the listed objectives like; identifying the job analysis and job description practices, how job analysis and job description practices affect the performance of ERCA, identifying the techniques or methods of job analysis, the processes of job analysis practice and finally assesses the challenges associated with the job analysis and job description practices of Ethiopian revenue and customs Authority

description: We analyze the quantum capacity of a unital quantum channel, using ideas from the proof of near-optimality of Petz recovery map [Barnum and Knill 2000] and give an upper bound on the quantum capacity in terms of regularized output $2$-norm of the channel. We also show that any code attempting to exceed this upper bound must incur large error in decoding, which can be viewed as a weaker version of the strong converse results for quantum capacity. As an application, we find nearly matching upper and lower bounds (up to an additive constant) on the quantum capacity of quantum expander channels. Using these techniques, we further conclude that the `mixture of random unitaries' channels arising in the construction of quantum expanders in [Hastings 2007] show a trend in multiplicativity of output $2$-norm similar to that exhibited in [Montanaro 2013] for output $\infty$-norm of random quantum channels.

description: Language students are most engaged while reading texts at an appropriate difficulty level. However, existing methods of evaluating text difficulty focus mainly on vocabulary and do not prioritize grammatical features, hence they do not work well for language learners with limited knowledge of grammar. In this paper, we introduce grammatical templates, the expert-identified units of grammar that students learn from class, as an important feature of text difficulty evaluation. Experimental classification results show that grammatical template features significantly improve text difficulty prediction accuracy over baseline readability features by 7.4%. Moreover, we build a simple and human-understandable text difficulty evaluation approach with 87.7% accuracy, using only 5 grammatical template features.

description: The genus Astragalus is a rich source of a variety of biologically active compounds including phenols, saponins, polysaccharides and essential oils. The present study was conducted to determine ontogenetic variation of the volatile organic compounds as well as total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity in leaves of A. compactus. The leaves of plant were harvested at vegetative, flowering and fructification stages and were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Total phenolic content (TPC) was determined using the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent and the antioxidant capacity was evaluated with the 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) test. Different classes of volatile compounds were identified including alcohols, esters, hydrocarbons, sterols and terpenoides. Significant variation of these compounds was found during phenological stages of development. Sterols and hydrocarbons were the main components of essential oils at the vegetative stage. The presence of terpenoides (phytol) and alcohols (docosanol) was significant at the flowering stage. Fructification phase was characterized by the high content of sterols and hydrocarbons and absence of phytol. The antioxidant activity and phenolic content were related to the physiological stage and the highest amount detected at fructification phase. The ontogenetic variations of phenolic contents and antioxidant properties are largely contributed by climatic factors such as temperature and solar radiation.

description: Inflection-point inflation is an interesting possibility to realize a successful slow-roll inflation when inflation is driven by a single scalar field with its initial value below the Planck mass ($ϕ_I \lesssim M_{Pl}$). In order for a renormalization group (RG) improved effective $λϕ^4$ potential to develop an inflection-point, the quartic coupling $λ(ϕ)$ must exhibit a minimum with an almost vanishing value in its RG evolution, namely $λ(ϕ_I) \simeq 0$ and $β_λ(ϕ_I) \simeq 0$, where $β_λ$ is the beta-function of the quartic coupling. As an example, we consider the minimal gauged $B-L$ extended Standard Model at the TeV scale, where we identify the $B-L$ Higgs field as the inflaton field. For a successful inflection-point inflation, which is consistent with the current cosmological observations, the mass ratios among the $Z^{\prime}$ gauge boson, the right-handed neutrinos and the $B-L$ Higgs boson are fixed. Our scenario can be tested in the future collider experiments such as the High-Luminosity LHC and the SHiP experiments. In addition, the inflection-point inflation provides a unique prediction for the running of the spectral index $α\simeq - 2.7 \times 10^{-3}\left(\frac{60}{N}\right)^2$ ($N$ is the $e$-folding number), which can be tested in the near future.

description: The dynamical responses of Blume-Capel (S=1) ferromagnet to the plane propagating (with fixed frequency and wavelength) and standing magnetic field waves are studied sepa- rately in two dimensions by extensive Monte Carlo simulation. Depending on the values of temperature, amplitude of the propagating magnetic field and the strength of anisotropy, two different dynamical phases are observed. For a fixed value of anisotropy and the amplitude of the propagating magnetic field, the system undergoes a dynamical phase transition from a driven spin wave propagating phase to a pinned or spin frozen state as the system is cooled down. The time averaged magnetisation over a full cycle of the propagating magnetic field plays the role of the dynamic order parameter. A comprehensive phase diagram is plotted in the plane formed by the amplitude of the propagating wave and the temperature of the system. It is found that the phase boundary shrinks inward as the anisotropy increases. The phase boundary, in the plane described by the strength of the anisotropy and temperature, is also drawn. This phase boundary was observed to shrink inward as the field amplitude increases.

description: This paper introduces rank-based tests for the cointegrating rank in an Error Correction Model with i.i.d. elliptical innovations. The tests are asymptotically distribution-free, and their validity does not depend on the actual distribution of the innovations. This result holds despite the fact that, depending on the alternatives considered, the model exhibits a non-standard Locally Asymptotically Brownian Functional (LABF) and Locally Asymptotically Mixed Normal (LAMN) local structure—a structure which we completely characterize. Our tests, which have the general form of Lagrange multiplier tests, depend on a reference density that can freely be chosen, and thus is not restricted to be Gaussian as in traditional quasi-likelihood procedures. Moreover, appropriate choices of the reference density are achieving the semiparametric efficiency bounds. Simulations show that our asymptotic analysis provides an accurate approximation to finite-sample behavior. Our results are based on an extension, of independent interest, of two abstract results on the convergence of statistical experiments and the asymptotic linearity of statistics to the context of, possibly non-stationary, time series.

description: The ultraviolet background (UVB) emitted by quasars and galaxies governs the ionization and thermal state of the intergalactic medium (IGM), regulates the formation of high-redshift galaxies, and is thus a key quantity for modeling cosmic reionization. The vast majority of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations implement the UVB via a set of spatially uniform photoionization and photoheating rates derived from UVB synthesis models. We show that simulations using canonical UVB rates reionize and, perhaps more importantly, spuriously heat the IGM, much earlier z ~ 15 than they should. This problem arises because at z > 6, where observational constraints are nonexistent, the UVB amplitude is far too high. We introduce a new methodology to remedy this issue, and we generate self-consistent photoionization and photoheating rates to model any chosen reionization history. Following this approach, we run a suite of hydrodynamical simulations of different reionization scenarios and explore the impact of the timing of reionization and its concomitant heat injection on the the thermal state of the IGM. We present a comprehensive study of the pressure smoothing scale of IGM gas, illustrating its dependence on the details of both hydrogen and helium reionization, and argue that it plays a fundamental role in interpreting Lyman-alpha forest statistics and the thermal evolution of the IGM. The premature IGM heating we have uncovered implies that previous work has likely dramatically overestimated the impact of photoionization feedback on galaxy formation, which sets the minimum halo mass able to form stars at high redshifts. We make our new UVB photoionization and photoheating rates publicly available for use in future simulations.

description: In diesem Jubiläumsheft finden Sie ein Hörspiel zur Sprachförderung: Die Wetterschacht-Detektive. Das Hörspiel wurde unter Leitung der TU Dortmund in Kooperation mit der Hoffbauer Berufsakademie und der Folkwang Universität konzipiert und produziert. Das Projekt wurde von der Dortmund-Stiftung gefördert. Mit diesem Hörspiel, das sich an ein- und mehrsprachig aufwach-sende GrundschülerInnen der dritten und vierten Klassen sowie SchülerInnen im Übergang zur Se-kundarstufe I richtet, wird eine bislang einzigartige Verbindung wissenschaftlicher und künstlerischer Ansprüche erfüllt. Auf der Grundlage mehrerer empirischer Studien zum Sprachför-derpotenzial von Hörspielen wurden sechs Episoden einer Hörspielserie produziert, die sich insbe-sondere zur Förderung der konzeptionellen Schriftlichkeit eignen. Gleichzeitig sind die Episoden so unterhaltsam gestaltet, dass sich das Sprachförderpotenzial beiläufig entfalten kann. In diesem Bei-trag werden die künstlerischen und linguistischen Konstruktionsprinzipien erläutert, die dieser O-pen-Access-Produktion zugrunde liegen.
description: This anniversary issue contains a narrative audio story fostering language development: "Die Wetterschacht-Detektive" ("The Air Pit Detectives"). The audio play has been designed and pro-duced under the direction of the Technical University Dortmund in cooperation with the Hoffbauer University of Cooperative Education and the Folkwang University. The Dortmund Foundation funded the project. The audio play, which adresses mono- and multilingual primary school children in third and fourth grade as well as pupils in the first years of transition to secondary school, realiz-es a hitherto unique fulfilment of both scientific and artistic criteria. Based on several empirical studies proving the beneficial potential of narrative audio tapes to language development, six epi-sodes of a narrative audio series have been produced, which are especially suitable to enhancing the academic performance of conceptual writtenness. At the same time, the episodes are of such enter-taining design that the potential to assist in language development can be displayed in a casual way. The following article illustrates the artistic as well as linguistic principles of construction underly-ing this open access production.

description: Aimed to measure the effect of in-store promotion on brand awareness of motorcycle market in Ethiopia with specific emphasis to Bajaj and TVS brands, using the M-R theory of S-O-R, and Baker et al., (2002) model, the study was conducted to measure the two basic dimensions- store design dimensions (store decoration, store product assortment, store feature area, store light & color, and store social/talent dimensions (store employee appearance, and store employee professionalability)using quantitative approach of explanatory research design implemented to show the causal links between constructs taking sample of 384 respondents who either deal, retail, or bought, or own Bajaj and/or TVS motorcycle brands selected on nonprobability purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using structured survey questionnaire designed to measure the extent of influence exhibited in the minds of the respondents as to each of the constructs/variables is concerned and their level of brand awareness resulted from these in-store promotions. A total of 422 questionnaires were distributed, out of which 384 questionnaires with no missing spaces and inconsistencies were selected for the analysis. From the demographic analysis of respondents, store design cue has got 55.5% to be used as environmental cue to locate the motorcycle stores followed by 42.7% for store social/talent. The store atmospheric cue showed almost negligible result which may be attributed to the nature of the product being high value good. Moderate and strong correlation of variables was found which are all significant at a 0.01 level of significance. Multiple linear regression analysis of the data collected showed only store decoration, store feature area, and store light & color have shown positive significant relationship with the dependent variable, store brand awareness. Store feature area was found the most influential predictor of brand awareness, the least insignificant being store employee professionalability. Therefore, heavy investment on the in-store promotion related to store feature area can result in increased brand awareness of motorcycle market in Ethiopia.

description: Photons that are entangled or correlated in orbital angular momentum have been extensively used for remote sensing, object identification and imaging. It has recently been demonstrated that intensity fluctuations give rise to the formation of correlations in the orbital angular momentum components and angular positions of random light. Here, we demonstrate that the spatial signatures and phase information of an object, with rotational symmetries, can be identified using classical orbital angular momentum correlations in random light. The Fourier components imprinted in the digital spiral spectrum of the object, measured through intensity correlations, unveil its spatial and phase information. Sharing similarities with conventional compressive sensing protocols that exploit sparsity to reduce the number of measurements required to reconstruct a signal, our technique allows sensing of an object with fewer measurements than other schemes that use pixel-by-pixel imaging. One remarkable advantage of our technique is the fact that it does not require the preparation of fragile quantum states of light and works at both low- and high-light levels. In addition, our technique is robust against environmental noise, a fundamental feature of any realistic scheme for remote sensing.
