description: This paper proposes Allophant, a multilingual phoneme recognizer. It requires only a phoneme inventory for cross-lingual transfer to a target language, allowing for low-resource recognition. The architecture combines a compositional phone embedding approach with individually supervised phonetic attribute classifiers in a multi-task architecture. We also introduce Allophoible, an extension of the PHOIBLE database. When combined with a distance based mapping approach for grapheme-to-phoneme outputs, it allows us to train on PHOIBLE inventories directly. By training and evaluating on 34 languages, we found that the addition of multi-task learning improves the model's capability of being applied to unseen phonemes and phoneme inventories. On supervised languages we achieve phoneme error rate improvements of 11 percentage points (pp.) compared to a baseline without multi-task learning. Evaluation of zero-shot transfer on 84 languages yielded a decrease in PER of 2.63 pp. over the baseline.

Alleviating the need for exponential evolution of JWST galaxies in 10$^{10} M_{\odot}$ haloes at $z > 10$ by a modified $Λ$CDM power spectrum

description: We infer the evolution of the UV luminosities of galaxies in haloes of masses $10^{10} - 10^{11} M_{\odot}$ in the redshift range of $z \sim 9-16$ from the recent JWST data. Within the standard $Λ$CDM cosmological model, it is found that the average luminosities in this halo mass range show an exponential evolution with redshift, in excess of that expected from astrophysical considerations including the evolution of UV luminosity from Population III galaxies. We find that an enhancement of power on scales $k \sim 1$ Mpc$^{-1}$, as captured by a cosmological transfer function modified from the $Λ$CDM form, is able to alleviate this effect and allow for a non-evolving UV luminosity as a function of redshift at $z > 10$, consistently with the corresponding findings for lower redshifts. We discuss the possible astrophysical and cosmological reasons for such an enhancement.

Effects Of Integrated Marketing Communication Programs On Performance Of Insurance Business (The Case Of Ethiopian Insurance Corporation)
Creators: name: Dawed, Mohammed
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The study was designed to understand the effect of integrated marketing communication programs on the performance of the Ethiopian insurance industry by undertaking a case study on the leading insurer in the industry, the Ethiopian Insurance Corporation. Specifically, the effect of specific integrated marketing communication tools advertising, sales promotion, direct marketing and personal selling activities on performance of the Corporation. Descriptive and causal research designs are used for the investigation. The target population was 264 respondents comprising of 89 managerial and 175 non managerial staff working at the operational level. Stratified proportionate random sampling technique was used. The researcher used primary data for this study and collected using questionnaires complemented with triangulation of secondary data. Descriptive statistics includes mean, frequency, standard deviation and percentages to profile sample characteristics and major patterns emerging from the data. While in order understand the cause and effect of the independent and dependent variables, a multivariate regression model were applied to determine the relative importance of each of the four variables with respect to performance of the Corporation. The study found that advertising and sales promotions practiced by EIC though have positive relationship with performance but failed to register significant contribution. On the other hand direct marketing activities and personal selling influenced the company performance positively as well as significantly. The regression analysis shows an increase in a unit of increase in direct marketing and personal selling activities overall performance of the Corporation by 0.165 and 0.296 units. The study found that the trend new policy issuance and profitability have improved while gross written premium remain constant and market share and policy retention rate has been declining over the years. This study has recommended the exploitation of direct marketing and personal selling activities more in order to enhance performance. It further recommends that further study should be done in understanding the effect of advertising and sales promotion activities in depth in order to enhance their contribution to performance of insurance companies. Another study needs to be done with an aim of investigating the effectiveness of integrated marketing communication tools in relative to investment of such activities and also the industry performance considering the private insurance companies as well. In depth analysis of advertisement and sales promotion are also points to consider for further investigation.

description: In this paper nonparametric methods to assess the multivariate Levy measure are introduced. Starting from high-frequency observations of a Levy process X, we construct estimators for its tail integrals and the Pareto Levy copula and prove weak convergence of these estimators in certain function spaces. Given n observations of increments over intervals of length n, the rate of convergence is k1=2 n for kn = nn which is natural concerning inference on the Levy measure. Analytic properties of the Pareto Levy copula which, to the best of our knowledge, have not been mentioned before in the literature are provided as well. We conclude with a short simulation study on the performance of our estimators.

Determinants Of market Efficiency Of Ethiopian Commodity Exchange The Case Of Sesame Trade
Creators: name: Kassaye, Mekdes
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: The Ethiopian commodity exchange (ECX) is the one and only modern market in Ethiopia that launched trading operation in April 2008, with contracts traded in coffee, sesame, maize, wheat & beans. The ECX market plays a vital role in Ethiopian economy. It is a leading market place where buyers and sellers come together to trade, assured of quality, delivery & payment. Efficiency is one of cost benefits analysis measurement tools that are used to determine by some factors. Among the determinants, marketing risk, marketing cost, product quality, information transmission media, transaction risk, payment method and market efficiency has been used for this study. The researcher has tried to find out if the above mentioned factors really determine market efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to explore the determinants of market efficiency in this commodity market specific to sesame trade. In order to address its objectives, the research has generally set conceptual framework. This study used both primary and secondary sources of data. It employed explanatory type of research. The target population of the study are employees and traders of ECX. Measuring of data in the realm of qualitative and quantitative research methods, questionnaire and interview data analysis have been employed respectively which was analyzed using SPSS. In addition, simple random sampling has been used to analyze data collected through questionnaires of ECX employees and for confirmation purpose, 10 market actors (in this case traders) have been involved in the study through interview questions. The finding of the study shows that there is a direct relationship between the variables. All of them are found to be the determinants of market efficiency. The researcher recommended ECX to collaborate with supportive institutions like Ethio-Telecom, and also to work with the concerned stakeholders. It is also advisable to share experiences of other successful countries in commodity market.

description: The intriguing many-body phases of quantum matter arise from the interplay of particle interactions, spatial symmetries, and external fields. Generating these phases in an engineered system could provide deeper insight into their nature and the potential for harnessing their unique properties. However, concurrently bringing together the main ingredients for realizing many-body phenomena in a single experimental platform is a major challenge. Using superconducting qubits, we simultaneously realize synthetic magnetic fields and strong particle interactions, which are among the essential elements for studying quantum magnetism and fractional quantum Hall (FQH) phenomena. The artificial magnetic fields are synthesized by sinusoidally modulating the qubit couplings. In a closed loop formed by the three qubits, we observe the directional circulation of photons, a signature of broken time-reversal symmetry. We demonstrate strong interactions via the creation of photon-vacancies, or "holes", which circulate in the opposite direction. The combination of these key elements results in chiral groundstate currents, the first direct measurement of persistent currents in low-lying eigenstates of strongly interacting bosons. The observation of chiral currents at such a small scale is interesting and suggests that the rich many-body physics could survive to smaller scales. We also motivate the feasibility of creating FQH states with near future superconducting technologies. Our work introduces an experimental platform for engineering quantum phases of strongly interacting photons and highlight a path toward realization of bosonic FQH states.

description: Throughout this thesis, the spectral and temporal long-term behavior of the Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) 1ES1959+650 is studied. Being a blazar, i.e. an AGN with a highly relativistic plasma outflow pointing towards the Earth, and having shown strong hints of hadronic emission processes in the past, 1ES1959+650 is a primary candidate for a source of cosmic rays. The origin of these ultra high energetic charged particles is the central question of astroparticle physics. Therefore, 1ES1959+650 has been monitored with the MAGIC telescope since 2004, measuring very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays. The resulting time-integrated energy spectrum reported here is by far the most exact one determined for this source up to now. Also the temporal variability for different wavelength bands, which should be connected in the case of most non-hadronic emission processes, is examined in this thesis. While strong variations occur in the optical and X-rays, the VHE gamma-ray emission is compatible with a constant flux. Furthermore, the time-integrated spectral energy distribution is compiled from radio to VHE gamma-rays and modeled for hadronic and leptonic emission scenarios to unveil the character of the emitting particles. Unexpected results are obtained on the spectral shape of the observed blazar, especially in high energy gamma-rays. By this, 1ES1959+650 is one of the very first high frequency peaked blazars whose non-thermal emission cannot be explained with a single-zone SSC model. Additionally, in this thesis the idea of long-term monitoring of blazars at VHE gamma-rays is pursued further. The FACT telescope, the first application of G-APDs as photosensors in an imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescope, has recently been constructed and already during its commissioning phase reported on very promising first results. After the commissioning, it will be devoted to monitoring observations of bright blazars. For the construction of this telescope, the completely reworked aluminum mirrors have been characterized, including measurements of the focal lengths and the spot sizes of a reflected point-like light source. Finally, it is presented that DWARF, a global network of a small number of Cherenkov telescopes dedicated to monitoring observations of TeV-bright blazars, will be well suited to obtain comprehensive, well sampled lightcurves which are needed to study possible temporal correlations between VHE gamma-rays and other wavelengths.

Default risk premia on government bonds in a quantitative macroeconomic model

description: We develop a macroeconomic model where the government does not guarantee to repay debt. We ask whether movements in the prices of government bonds can be rationalized by lender's unwillingness to roll over debt when the outstanding debt level exceeds a government's repayment capacity. Default occurs if a worsening state of the economy leads to a build-up of debt that exceeds the government's ability to repay. Investors are unwilling to engage in a Ponzi game and withdraw lending in this case and thus force default at an endogenously determined fractional repayment rate. Interest rates on government bonds reflect expectations of this event. We analytically show that there exist two equilibrium bond prices. Our numerical analysis shows that, at moderate debt-to-gdp levels, default premia hardly emerge in the low risk equilibrium. High risk premia can either arise at high debt-to-gdp ratios, where even small changes in fundamentals lead to steeply rising interest rates, or as realizations of the high risk equilibrium.

description: We investigate the phase diagram of the spin-orbit-coupled three orbital Hubbard model at arbitrary filling by means of dynamical mean-field theory combined with continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo. We find that the spin-freezing crossover occurring in the metallic phase of the non-relativistic multiorbital Hubbard model can be generalized to a $\mathbf{J}$-freezing crossover, with $\mathbf{J}=\mathbf{L}+\mathbf{S}$, in the spin-orbit-coupled case. In the $\mathbf{J}$-frozen regime the correlated electrons exhibit a non-trivial flavor selectivity and energy dependence. Furthermore, in the regions near $n=2$ and $n=4$ the metallic states are qualitatively different from each other, which reflects the atomic Hund's third rule. Finally, we explore the appearance of magnetic order from exciton condensation at $n=4$ and discuss the relevance of our results for real materials.

description: Uniform asymptotic confidence bands for a multivariate regression function in an inverse regression model with a convolution-type operator are constructed. The results are derived using strong approximation methods and a limit theorem for the supremum of a stationary Gaussian field over an increasing system of sets. As a particular application asymptotic confidence bands for a time dependent regression function ft(x) (x 2 Rd; t 2 R) in a convolution-type inverse regression model are obtained. To the best knowledge of the authors the results presented in this paper are the first which provide uniform confidence bands for multivariate nonparametric function estimation in inverse problems.

description: Social distancing to limit the spread of COVID-19 poses a unique psychological challenge, especially in light of evidence for the importance of even minimal cues of inclusion. In a German (N = 546) and a US (N = 199) sample, we examined the impact of work-related social distancing on the outcomes of ostracism, measuring need fulfillment in self-esteem, belonging, control, and meaning. Overall, social distancing was associated with decreased need fulfillment. German participants reported a higher need fulfillment compared to American participants. Compared to previous studies, social distancing impacted self-related need fulfillment less than experimental manipulations of ostracism, however more so than the baseline condition of inclusion. Working, while social distancing was associated with greater need fulfillment, as was identifying as male. Women reported lower need fulfillment overall and this difference was mediated by the need to belong. Results are discussed in terms of understanding self-related needs in different contexts of isolation.

description: We confirm that the object DDO216-A1 is a substantial globular cluster at the center of Local Group galaxy DDO216 (the Pegasus dwarf irregular), using Hubble Space Telescope ACS imaging. By fitting isochrones, we find the cluster metallicity to be [M/H] = -1.6 +/-0.2, for reddening E(B-V) = 0.16 +/-0.02; the best-fit age is 12.3 +/-0.8 Gyr. There are ~30 RR Lyrae variables in the cluster; the magnitude of the fundamental mode pulsators gives a distance modulus of 24.77 +/-0.08 - identical to the host galaxy. The ratio of overtone to fundamental mode variables and their mean periods make DDO216-A1 an Oosterhoff Type I cluster. We find an I-band central surface brightness 20.85 +/-0.17 F814W mag per square arcsecond, a half-light radius of 3.1 arcsec (13.4 pc), and an absolute magnitude M814 = -7.90 +/-0.16 (approximately 10^5 solar masses). King models fit to the cluster give the core radius and concentration index, r_c = 2.1" +/-0.9" and c = 1.24 +/-0.39. The cluster is an "extended" cluster somewhat typical of some dwarf galaxies and the outer halo of the Milky Way. The cluster is projected <30 pc south of the center of DDO216, unusually central compared to most dwarf galaxy globular clusters. Analytical models of dynamical friction and tidal destruction suggest that it probably formed at a larger distance, up to ~1 kpc, and migrated inward. DDO216 has an unexceptional cluster specific frequency, S_N = 10. DDO216 is the lowest-luminosity Local Group galaxy to host a 10^5 solar mass globular cluster, and the only transition-type (dSph/dIrr) in the Local Group with a globular.

The Effect of bank specific Sources of competitive advantage on performance: In the case of Ethiopian private commercial banks
Creators: name: Molla, Mengistu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: RBV posits tangible firm's resources are vital for superior business performance, as main source of competitive advantage. Private commercial banks in Ethiopia are facing stiff competition necessitating the design of competitive strategies to guarantee their performance. They have to know how and to what extent their internal resources affect their performance and then build competitive strategies to acquire these resources. This study aimed at examining the effect of bank specific tangible resources as sources of competitive advantage on the performances of private commercial banks in Ethiopia. Both explanatory and descriptive research designs were employed. While population of the study was 16 private commercial banks, purposive sampling technique was adopted to reach at 6 target banks, after selecting two senior banks from each three categories. 2009/10 to 2016/17 Panel data of target banks was collected and multivariate regression model with diagnostic tests were applied using STATA software. The study found bank size, total capital and total investment & expense were positively and significantly affected performances, while number of branch negatively and significantly affected performance. Bank size, total capital and total investment & expense used as sources of competitive advantage by the larger private banks while number of branch was not. The larger banks were mainly beneficiaries while the medium banks were competent relative to the smaller. We recommend medium banks to focus on internal growth and small banks on external growth either through mergers or acquisitions to gain competitive advantage. Theses private banks should have to revisit their aggressive branch expansion to moderate and multi channel distribution.

description: We measure the Einstein radius of the single-lens microlensing event KMT-2022-BLG-2397 to be theta_E=24.8 +- 3.6 uas, placing it at the upper shore of the Einstein Desert, 9 < theta_E / uas < 25, between free-floating planets (FFPs) and bulge brown dwarfs (BDs). In contrast to the six BD (25 < theta_E < 50) events presented by Gould+22, which all had giant-star source stars, KMT-2022-BLG-2397 has a dwarf-star source, with angular radius theta_* ~ 0.9 uas. This prompts us to study the relative utility of dwarf and giant sources for characterizing FFPs and BDs from finite-source point-lens (FSPL) microlensing events. We find `dwarfs' (including main-sequence stars and subgiants) are likely to yield twice as many theta_E measurements for BDs and a comparable (but more difficult to quantify) improvement for FFPs. We show that neither current nor planned experiments will yield complete mass measurements of isolated bulge BDs, nor will any other planned experiment yield as many theta_E measurements for these objects as KMT. Thus, the currently anticipated 10-year KMT survey will remain the best way to study bulge BDs for several decades to come.

description: We discuss hadron-tomography studies for the nucleon and exotic hadrons by high-energy hadron reactions. First, the constituent-counting rule is explained for determining internal quark configurations of exotic-hadron candidates by scaling properties of high-energy exclusive cross sections. Next, possibilities are discussed for investigating the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the nucleon and exotic hadrons at J-PARC. In particular, we study hadronic $2 \to 3$ process $p+p \to N+π+B$, exclusive Drell-Yan process, and exotic-hadron GPDs. For determining three-dimensional structure of unstable exotic hadrons, we consider $s$-$t$ crossed quantities of the GPDs called generalized distribution amplitudes (GDAs), which can be investigated at KEKB. We explain possible studies of the GDAs by two-photon processes.

Vision transformer

description: In recent years, Vision Transformers (ViTs) have emerged as a promising approach for various computer vision tasks. However, their high computational cost poses a significant challenge for practical deployment. This report presents a comprehensive study of two distinct yet complementary methods for compressing and optimizing ViTs. First, we introduce a unified ViT compression framework that combines pruning, layer skipping, and knowledge distillation in a budget-constrained, end-to-end optimization process. The primal-dual algorithm is employed to solve the optimization problem, and experimental results on the ImageNet dataset demonstrate competitive performance with reduced computational overhead. Second, we present an automatic low-rank approximation framework based on neural architecture search, which efficiently searches for optimal low-rank configurations. The low-rank compression approach leverages weight inheritance and a hierarchical search space inspired by computer architecture’s cache memory to balance exploration and exploitation while reducing supernet training overhead. By integrating these two methods, we aim to provide a comprehensive solution for the effective compression and optimization of Vision Transformers, paving the way for their broader applicability in real-world scenarios.

description: Previous studies have reported that oleuropein, the major constituent of olive leaves, has cardioprotective effects. There is no report related to oleuropein and ischemic-reperfusion injuries (cardiac dysfunction and myocardial infarction) as well as preconditioning in rat hearts. 56 male Wistar rats were divided into 7 groups (n=8). Group 1 as the control group and groups 2 to 7 as the treatment groups that received a single dose of oleuropein (100 mg/kg, i.p.) 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours before the excision of the heart, respectively. After these times, their hearts were excised and subjected to 30 min regional ischemia and 120 min reperfusion under Langendorff apparatus. Electrocardiogram and intraventricular pressures were monitored and recorded throughout the procedure. Finally, infarct size was measured by triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. Compared to the control group, oleuropein significantly reduced infarct size and reperfusion-induced cardiac dysfunction in groups 2 and 3. Oleuropein markedly attenuated both ischemic and reperfusion arrhythmias in groups 2 and 3. There was no significant difference between other groups (4 to 7) than the control group. Heart rate had no significant difference among all of the groups. These results indicate that pretreatment of rats with a single dose of intraperitoneal oleuropein could protect their heart against ischemic-reperfusion injury for at least 3 hours. However, it has no preconditioning effect, since oleuropein had not cardioprotective effects 24 hour later.

Latin loanwords in Old Saxon : a statistical analysis of three dictionaries

Subjects: Old Saxon

Loanwords

description: The following is an analysis of loanwords of Latin origin found in the historical Germanic language of Old Saxon, which was spoken by a group of people in parts of modern-day Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, and which is preserved in a number of texts dating from the 9th to the 12th centuries. Included is a general discussion of the historical socio-linguistic context in which the speakers of Old Saxon were in contact with Latin, as well as the linguistic principles of borrowing between languages. Three dictionaries of Old Saxon, those by Holthausen, Tiefenbach, and Köbler, provide both the definitions and the grammatical information of the individual Latin loanwords (LLW) for analysis. The statistical analysis includes comparisons between the dictionaries as to where they (dis)agree, including possible reasons for their (dis)agreement. The primary analysis is of the LLWs themselves, identifying: 1) what types of grammatical forms are borrowed and how they are incorporated into the Old Saxon grammatical system; 2) what types of words, in terms of semantic fields are borrowed, and with what frequency; and 3) what types of LLWs are found in the various source texts and the possible reasons for this distribution.
Neutral bremsstrahlung electroluminescence in noble liquids revisited

description: Recent discovery of neutral bremsstrahlung (NBrS) mechanism of electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases in two-phase detectors for dark matter searches has led to a prediction that NBrS EL should be present in noble liquids as well. A rigorous theory of NBrS EL in noble liquids was developed accordingly in the framework of Cohen-Leckner and Atrazhev formalism. It has been recently followed by the first experimental observation of NBrS EL in liquid argon, which however deviates significantly from the previous theory. Given these results, we revise previous theoretical calculations of EL NBrS in noble liquids to be consistent with experiment. In particular, NBrS EL yield and spectra were calculated in this work for argon, krypton and xenon with momentum-transfer cross section of electron scattering (instead of energy-transfer one) being used for calculation of NBrS cross section. The results for light noble liquids, helium and neon, are also reexamined.
