title: Reconstructing past ice sheets and paleotopography using observations of past sea level and glacial geology
Creators: name:  Gowan , Evan James
Publisher: name: Deutsche Geologische Gesellschaft - Geologische Vereinigung e.V. (DGGV)
Year: 2021

description: During the Quaternary, large ice sheets repeatedly formed and retreated over continental North America and northern Europe, which in turn caused fluctuations in global sea level by up to 120 m. This caused substantial changes to the Earth's surface, changing the distribution of land, continental ice sheets, and ocean. I demonstrate a technique we use to reconstruct ice sheets and paleotopography, and its application for the past 800000 years. I show that with the use of observations from glacial geology and ice extent chronology, it is possible to determine the history of the ice sheet configuration even prior to the Last Glacial Maximum (19000-26000 years ago). During Marine Isotope Stage 3 (57000-27000 years ago), when there are few constraints on sea level, we determined that sea level was between about 25-50 m lower than present, substantially higher than estimates based on marine benthic oxygen proxies. We also determined that global sea level during the Last Glacial Maximum was about -115 m, about 15 m higher than previous estimates. This shows that it is possible that, given the current constraints on sea level, that past ice sheet configuration may be an non-unique problem. The growing community efforts to standardize and compile datasets on past sea level bring an opportunity to reduce the uncertainty on ice sheet configuration, and extend our reconstructions further into the past (such as the last interglacial).

description: Let f be a polynomial over the complex numbers with an isolated singularity at 0. We show that the multiplicity and the log canonical threshold of f at 0 are invariants of the link of f viewed as a contact submanifold of the sphere. This is done by first constructing a spectral sequence converging to the fixed point Floer cohomology of any iterate of the Milnor monodromy map whose E^1 page is explicitly described in terms of a log resolution of f. This spectral sequence is a generalization of a formula by A'Campo. By looking at this spectral sequence, we get a purely Floer theoretic description of the multiplicity and log canonical threshold of f.

Spatial Integration of White Wheat Markets in Ethiopia: Along with Improvements in Transport Infrastructure
Creators: name: Tamru, Seneshaw
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2006

description: This paper attempts to analyze the impact road infrastructure may have on the level and degree of grain market integration on selected Ethiopian markets. Using wholesale price series of six markets and based on monthly data from January 1996 to December 2005, which is disaggregated in the pre and post construction periods, one of the major staple food crops of the country, white wheat is analyzed. The other two major crops, teff and maize were also considered in the descriptive analysis. A threshold autoregressive (TAR) Model in the form of Error Correction Model is used to evaluate the level of integration and speed of adjustment towards equilibrium. The findings of the paper show that there is enough evidence to conclude that the deficit areas are isolated from Addis while the surplus areas were found to be well integrated in both periods. Some of the markets under consideration are found to be inefficient as smaller deviations than the threshold level from the long term equilibrium tend to be cleared (arbitraged) away; the results also show that the markets under consideration, could be clustered in to three market groups, that is the surplus areas including Addis, in one group and the two deficit areas each in other groups independently, isolated from Addis. The findings imply that any agricultural grain marketing policy should realize and be aimed at these three segregated groups, separately. The results suggest that geographic differences and distance are important factors affecting spatial markets integration between Addis and the regional markets. The results also propose, the requirement of government intervention mechanisms, such as availability of information (access to local media and telecommunications facilities), as key factors to improve spatial market integration between the markets. Moreover, as construction of roads alone hasn't as such improved and produced a significant impact on the level of market integration, the results indicate the need for a coordinated effort of the other market enhancing instruments; market information and institutions and put forward a system of commodity exchange as a mechanism that can incorporate these instruments. Key words: Market integration, threshold level, Monte Carlo simulations, wheat, and construction of roads.

Roll Pass Design of UIC 60 Rail Using Finite Element Method
Creators: name: Mesfin, Akmel
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: In metal forming, a simple geometry, bloom or billet, is plastically deformed between tools to obtain the desired geometry. Hot rolling is one of the main metal forming processes. The rail sections are generally made of carbon steels by hot rolling process. The rolling of rail section is carried out in number of passes. For converting initial steel bloom into final rail section, the bloom is passed between numbers of rollers. Each roller has different grooves on it. The shape of groove decides the rolled section at each pass. So, to get desired section of each pass, I designed the sections which, in turn, reduce its cross-sectional area. The final finishing pass gives the standard UIC 60 rail section used in railways. The aim of this paper is to present the developed procedure for the simulation of the hot rolling process of UIC 60 rail. The full rolling process of this rail consists of ten shape passes in different grooves, only one pass in each groove (five in roughing stand and five in the finishing stand). The simulation was carried out by using a finite element analysis called DEFORM 3D. The models developed, take into account all of the non-linearities present in the rolling problem: material, geometric, boundary, and heat transfer. A coupled thermal-mechanical analysis approach is used to account for the coupling between the mechanical and thermal phenomena resulting from the pressure-dependent thermal contact resistance between the steel bloom and the steel rolls. The model predicts the equivalent stress, equivalent plastic strain, maximum strain rate, equivalent total strain, damage during rolling and bloom temperature increase. The simulation result were compared with the previous work performed by experiments and other finite element analysis (Ansys). And finally it is found that the DEFORM 3D finite element software is a powerful and reliable software to perform the design of a roll pass for rail. Thus, this procedure is really useful to give assistance in the roll design and to obtain the stock cross-section temperature distribution for the whole rolling process.

description: In this paper, the design and the performance of a prototype detector based on MicroMegas technology with two detection planes in a common gas volume is discussed. The detector is suited for the forward region of LHC detectors, addressing the high-rate environment and limited available space. Each detection plane has an active area of 9x9 cm^2 with a two-dimensional strip readout and is separated by a common gas region with a height of 14 mm. A micro-mesh, working as a cathode, is placed in the middle of the common gas volume separating it into two individual cells. This setup allows for an angle reconstruction of incoming particles with a precision of 2 mrad. Since this design reduces the impact of multiple scattering effects by the reduced material budget, possible applications for low energy beam experiments can be envisioned. The performance of the prototype detector has been tested with a 4.4 GeV electron beam, provided by the test beam facility at DESY.

Assess Quality of Antenatal Care Services in Rural Health Centers in Bursa Woreda, Sidama Zone, Southern Nations Nationalities People's Region, Ethiopia, 2014
Creators: name: Tesfaye, Tamirat

description: BACKGROUND:-The maternal mortality ratio in Ethiopia is strikingly high. One of Key interventions to reduce maternal deaths is the promotion of ANC. ANC plays an important role in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity by detecting early risk factors in order to have an effective intervention in time and by linking the pregnant women to a planned delivery with a skilled birth attendant. However, studies have shown that there are many missed opportunities for care, both because of client and health system related factors. OBJECTIVE:-To assess the quality of antenatal care services in rural health centers in Bursa woreda from March-April, 2014. METHOD:-The facility based cross- sectional study was conducted in rural health centers in Bursa woreda. Antenatal follow up women's was interviewed about perception on satisfaction towards quality of antenatal services, by using structured questionnaires (n= 290). Twenty-four antenatal care provider client sessions was observed by checklist. Simple observation using checklist was made for availability of resources necessary for antenatal care. Finally data was coded, cleaned, entered using EPI-6 and was analyzed using SPSS statistical software for windows. RESULTS: - The study showed that overall satisfaction of client was low as 33%. The likelihood of satisfaction from ANC service was lower among women secondary and above of education level [AOR = 0.14, 95% CI = (0.03-0.78)]. The study also illustrated that higher proportion of health providers did not provide danger sign counseling, advice and information related to complication of pregnancy. Although all the health centers have basic structural medical equipments, none of them has laboratory equipments and high-level disinfection process Conclusions and Recommendation:-Overall satisfaction of ANC is low. However, for all of them ANC clients were not performed likes (hemoglobin, blood grouping and Rhesus factor, VDRL for Syphilis and urine analysis) and harmful habits likes (smoking, drug abuse &alcoholism, side effects of medicines during pregnancy, breast-feeding, and baby vaccination). Satisfaction from the ANC service in the health centers is very low, and should be stressed health providers and woreda health office to do better for client's satisfaction.

description: As more government acquisition programs adopt an Agile development methodology, there are more opportunities for Agile to interact with and perhaps contend with earned value management (EVM) principles. EVM has been a mainstay within the U.S. government acquisition community for longer than Agile has, but both are firmly entrenched in policy that mandates their use. While not all EVM programs are Agile and not all Agile programs use EVM, it is becoming more common that government programs use both methods. Professionals within the acquisition community are usually more comfortable with one methodology than they are with the other, and some even perceive them to be at odds. This perception is perhaps forgivable upon examination of the fundamental assumptions for both practices. This blog post will discuss the interactions between Agile and EVM.

description: Recent studies have found that growing or wild-harvesting some of one’s own food is associated with food security in high-income societies. Yet this research has not established causal relationships, and it measures household food security using indicators that assess only access to market food. To disentangle how non-market food production interacts with food security, we interviewed 26 key informants who play central roles in communities of gardeners, hunters, fishers, foragers, and homesteaders in northern New England, U.S.A. These informants indicated that non-market food production relates ambiguously to short-term food access in high-income societies where market food is cheap relative to wages. But non-market production can enhance all other recognized dimensions of food security: availability, adequacy, acceptability, agency, utilization, stability, and sustainability. Causation can run the other way, too: food insecurity was said to increase the likelihood and intensity of engagement in non-market food production. Yet poverty can deprive food-insecure households of the equipment, money, skills, and land access needed for successfully producing their own food. Overall, our informants portrayed non-market food production as a skills-based safety net for reliably feeding oneself from the landscape through personal and societal crises, from the distant past to the climate-change future.

description: The amplitude and phase of a material's nonlinear optical response provide insight into the underlying electronic dynamics that determine its optical properties. Phase-sensitive nonlinear spectroscopy techniques are widely implemented to explore these dynamics through demodulation of the complex optical signal field into its quadrature components; however, complete reconstruction of the optical response requires measuring both the amplitude and phase of each quadrature, which is often lost in standard detection methods. Here, we implement a heterodyne-detection scheme to fully reconstruct the amplitude and phase response of spectral hole-burning from InAs/GaAs charged quantum dots. We observe an ultra-narrow absorption profile and a corresponding dispersive lineshape of the phase, which reflect the nanosecond optical coherence time of the charged exciton transition. Simultaneously, the measurements are sensitive to electron spin relaxation dynamics on a millisecond timescale, as this manifests as a magnetic-field dependent delay of the amplitude and phase modulation. Appreciable amplitude modulation depth and nonlinear phase shift up to 0.09$\timesπ$ radians (16$°$) are demonstrated, providing new possibilities for quadrature modulation at faint photon levels with several independent control parameters, including photon number, modulation frequency, detuning, and externally applied fields.

description: A novel approach termed \emph{stochastic truncated amplitude flow} (STAF) is developed to reconstruct an unknown $n$-dimensional real-/complex-valued signal $\bm{x}$ from $m$ `phaseless' quadratic equations of the form $ψ_i=|\langle\bm{a}_i,\bm{x}\rangle|$. This problem, also known as phase retrieval from magnitude-only information, is \emph{NP-hard} in general. Adopting an amplitude-based nonconvex formulation, STAF leads to an iterative solver comprising two stages: s1) Orthogonality-promoting initialization through a stochastic variance reduced gradient algorithm; and, s2) A series of iterative refinements of the initialization using stochastic truncated gradient iterations. Both stages involve a single equation per iteration, thus rendering STAF a simple, scalable, and fast approach amenable to large-scale implementations that is useful when $n$ is large. When $\{\bm{a}_i\}_{i=1}^m$ are independent Gaussian, STAF provably recovers exactly any $\bm{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ exponentially fast based on order of $n$ quadratic equations. STAF is also robust in the presence of additive noise of bounded support. Simulated tests involving real Gaussian $\{\bm{a}_i\}$ vectors demonstrate that STAF empirically reconstructs any $\bm{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n$ exactly from about $2.3n$ magnitude-only measurements, outperforming state-of-the-art approaches and narrowing the gap from the information-theoretic number of equations $m=2n-1$. Extensive experiments using synthetic data and real images corroborate markedly improved performance of STAF over existing alternatives.

THE NEXUSES BETWEEN TAX REVENUE, INFLATION, PRIVATE FINAL CONSUMPTION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH INETHIOPIA: CO-INTEGRATED VAR APPROACH
Creators: name: Handamo, Firehiywot
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: Despite the belief that fiscal policy can influence both economic growth and private investment., attempts like the Structural Adjustment Program and Poverty Reduction Strategic Papers have not yet brought that much promising results in Sub- Saharan Africa. If so, Can policy makers help enhance the performance of private investment in the region through fiscal policy changes? In an attempt to answer this question, annual panel data for the period 1986- 2003 for twenty three countries in the region was utilized. The data set depicted the persistence of heterogeneity among the countries. The fixed effects model was applied based on the specification tests. The regression output indicated that private investment is positively responsive to previous period fiscal policy measures, per capita GDP and its growth rate. However, current period fiscal policy measures, domestic credit to the private sector, real exchange rate, inflation, and the size of government control in the exchange rate market appeared insignificant in affecting private investment in the region. Debt servicing significantly and negatively discouraged private investment, while debt stock was not found doing so. The conclusion is that previous period policy measures are more influential in promoting private investment in Sub Saharan Africa. A high debt servicing reduces resource availability for domestic investment immediately than huge external debt stock, whose repayment may be cancelled, at least based on conditions, as observed in HIPCs case. Key words: - Fiscal policy, panel estimates, private investment, Sub- Saharan Africa

description: We present the ultra-low-temperature specific heat and thermal conductivity measurements on the single crystals of YbMgGaO$_4$, which was recently argued to be a promising candidate for quantum spin liquid (QSL). In the zero magnetic field, a large magnetic contribution of specific heat is observed, and exhibits a power-law temperature dependence ($C_m \sim T^{0.74}$). On the contrary, we do not observed any significant contribution of thermal conductivity from magnetic excitations. In magnetic fields $H \ge$ 6 T, the exponential $T$-dependence of $C_m$ and the enhanced thermal conductivity indicate a magnon gap of the fully-polarized state. The absence of magnetic thermal conductivity at the zero field in this QSL candidate puts a strong constraint on the theories of its ground state.

description: A search is conducted for both resonant and non-resonant high-mass new phenomena in dielectron and dimuon final states. The search uses 3.2 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data, collected at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in 2015. The dilepton invariant mass is used as the discriminating variable. No significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction is observed; therefore limits are set on the signal model parameters of interest at 95% credibility level. Upper limits are set on the cross-section times branching ratio for resonances decaying to dileptons, and the limits are converted into lower limits on the resonance mass, ranging between 2.74 TeV and 3.36 TeV, depending on the model. Lower limits on the $\ell\ell qq$ contact interaction scale are set between 16.7 TeV and 25.2 TeV, also depending on the model.

Knowledge, Attitude and Practice on Hand Washing and Associated Factors Among Public Primary School Children in Hosanna Town, Snnpr, Ethiopia 2016
Creators: name: Seyum, Alula
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Back ground: - The burden of communicable diseases within developing countries is mainly influenced by poor personal hygiene practices and inadequate sanitary conditions that affect health of school children. Hand washing with soap (HWWS) is simple and cost effective measure to prevent transmission of many communicable diseases in school-age children. Despite substantial evidence about the effectiveness of hand washing, especially using soap at all critical time, the practice is poor in developing countries including Ethiopia. The problem is not researched well on children who are major risk groups for diarrheal diseases, ARI and other hygiene related problems. This school based cross sectional study focused on describing KAP of school children provides base line information on the area. Objective: - To assess knowledge, attitude and practice of hand washing and associated factors among primary school children in Hosanna town, SNNPR, Ethiopia. Methods: - Institution based cross sectional study was conducted in sample size of 246 students in Girma Bekele primary school in Hosanna town from April 15 -30/2016.Data was collected using interviewer administered pre tasted structured questionnaires by trained data collectors. Result: - From students participated in this study over all 167(69.9%) students have good and 72 (30.1%) have poor knowledge. Knowledge of students in this primary school is affected by grade of student and area of residence with (AOR, 95% CI 9.099(.587-.850) and (AOR.384; 95% CI (.114-.299)) respectively. Regarding the attitude of students 142(59.4%) and 97(40.6%) have good and poor attitude respectively. Overall 172(71.97%) of students have good practice and 67 (28.03%) have poor practice toward hand washing. Conclusion:-Majority of the study subjects has adequate knowledge and about more than half of them have positive attitude. Overall practice of HW is good but utilization of soap and HW after toilet visit is low. Maternal educational status, area of residence, age, sex and grade of student are factors that affect KAP of school children toward hand washing with soap. Recommendations:-The area should have to be further researched to identify where the gap is like food handlers condition at home, interpersonal contacts, school environment and playing area and materials and any launches conditions near the school; because irrespective of good knowledge level of student the prevalence of diarrhea is still high and hand washing after toilet visit and soap utilization of students is still low. Key words: primary school children, hand washing, knowledge, attitude and practice.

description: High-redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) beyond redshift $\sim6$ are potentially powerful tools to probe the distant early Universe. Their detections in large numbers and at truly high redshifts call for the next generation of high-energy wide-field instruments with unprecedented sensitivity at least one order of magnitude higher than the ones currently in orbit. On the other hand, follow-up observations of the afterglows of high-redshift GRBs and identification of their host galaxies, which would be difficult for the currently operating telescopes, require new, extremely large facilities of at multi-wavelengths. This chapter describes future experiments that are expected to advance this exciting field, both being currently built and being proposed. The legacy of Swift will be continued by SVOM, which is equipped with a set of space-based multi-wavelength instruments as well as and a ground segment including a wide angle camera and two follow-up telescopes. The established Lobster-eye X-ray focusing optics provides a promising technology for the detection of faint GRBs at very large distances, based on which the {THESEUS}, {Einstein Probe} and other mission concepts have been proposed. Follow-up observations and exploration of the reionization era will be enabled by large facilities such as {SKA} in the radio, the 30m class telescopes in the optical/near-IR, and the space-borne {WFIRST} and {JWST} in the optical/near-IR/mid-IR. In addition, the X-ray and $γ$-ray polarization experiment POLAR is also introduced.

description: We examine analytically and numerically a variant of the stochastic Kuramoto model for phase oscillators coupled on a general network. Two populations of phased oscillators are considered, labelled `Blue' and `Red', each with their respective networks, internal and external couplings, natural frequencies, and frustration parameters in the dynamical interactions of the phases. We disentagle the different ways that additive Gaussian noise may influence the dynamics by applying it separately on zero modes or normal modes corresponding to a Laplacian decomposition for the sub-graphs for Blue and Red. Under the linearisation ansatz that the oscillators of each respective network remain relatively phase-sychronised centroids or clusters, we are able to obtain simple closed-form expressions using the Fokker-Planck approach for the dynamics of the average angle of the two centroids. In some cases, this leads to subtle effects of metastability that we may analytically describe using the theory of ratchet potentials. These considerations are extended to a regime where one of the populations has fragmented in two. The analytic expressions we derive largely predict the dynamics of the non-linear system seen in numerical simulation. In particular, we find that noise acting on a more tightly coupled population allows for improved synchronisation of the other population where deterministically it is fragmented.

description: The properties of $\isotope[12]{C}$, $\isotope[16]{O}$, and $\isotope[20]{Ne}$ nuclei in strong magnetic fields $B\simeq 10^{17}\,$G are studied in the context of strongly magnetized neutron stars and white dwarfs. The SKY3D code is extended to incorporate the interaction of nucleons with the magnetic field and is utilized to solve the time-independent Hartree-Fock equations with a Skyrme interaction on a Cartesian three-dimensional grid. The numerical solutions demonstrate a number of phenomena, which include a splitting of the energy levels of spin-up and -down nucleons, spontaneous rearrangment of energy levels in $\isotope[16]{O}$ at a critical field, which leads to jump-like increases of magnetization and proton current in this nucleus, and evolution of the intrinsically deformed $\isotope[20]{Ne}$ nucleus towards a more spherical shape under increasing field strength. Many of the numerical features can be understood within a simple analytical model based on the occupation by the nucleons of the lowest states of the harmonic oscillator in a magnetic field.

Emergent Structural Mechanisms for High-Density Collective Motion Inspired by Human Crowds

description: Collective motion of large human crowds often depends on their density. In extreme cases like heavy metal concerts and Black Friday sales events, motion is dominated by physical interactions instead of conventional social norms. Here, we study an active matter model inspired by situations when large groups of people gather at a point of common interest. Our analysis takes an approach developed for jammed granular media and identifies Goldstone modes, soft spots, and stochastic resonance as structurally-driven mechanisms for potentially dangerous emergent collective motion.

Klima & Geschlecht: Eine ökofeministische Perspektive für die Grüne Soziale Arbeit
Creators: name: Schmid, Adrian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Bachelor-Arbeit mit dem Titel Klima & Geschlecht - Eine ökofeministische Perspektive für die Grüne Soziale Arbeit wurde von Adrian Schmid verfasst. In dieser Fachliteraturarbeit wird jenes Wissen zusammengeführt, welches die geschlechterspezifischen Aspekte rund um das Thema Klima und Klimawandel behandelt. Geschlecht, als gesellschaftliche Strukturkategorie, beeinflusst individuelles Handeln und Erleben. Während Männer in der Tendenz emissionsintensiver leben, sind Frauen von den daraus resultierenden Klimawandelfolgen tendenziell stärker betroffen. Dafür rahmengebend sind patriarchal-kapitalistische Gesellschaftsstrukturen der Wachstumsgesellschaft und die darin inhärenten Geschlechterrollen. Der Zusammenhang zwischen der Unterdrückung der Frau und der Natur durch den Mann seit Anbeginn der industriellen Revolution, manifestiert sich im Grundgedanken der ökofeministischen Bewegung. Als anzustrebender Zustand im Geschlechterverhältnis wird Geschlechtergerechtigkeit verstanden. Diese ist für eine klimagerechte Gesellschaft vorausgesetzt. Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich die Frage, inwiefern in der Sozialen Arbeit im Sinne der Klimagerechtigkeit auf Geschlechterverhältnisse eingewirkt werden kann. Der Fokus der Handlungsplanung liegt dabei auf einem Ansatz der progressiven Männerarbeit. Dieser nimmt sich den männerspezifischen Herausforderungen innerhalb patriarchaler Machtstrukturen an, unterstützt Männer bei der Emanzipation von traditionellen Männlichkeitsnormen und in der Ausbildung selbst- und fremdfürsorglicher Eigenschaften. Daraus lässt sich die Wichtigkeit von Genderkompetenzen für die Profession Soziale Arbeit ableiten.

From Path Integrals to Tensor Networks for AdS/CFT

description: In this paper, we discuss tensor network descriptions of AdS/CFT from two different viewpoints. First, we start with an Euclidean path-integral computation of ground state wave functions with a UV cut off. We consider its efficient optimization by making its UV cut off position dependent and define a quantum state at each length scale. We conjecture that this path-integral corresponds to a time slice of AdS. Next, we derive a flow of quantum states by rewriting the action of Killing vectors of AdS3 in terms of the dual 2d CFT. Both approaches support a correspondence between the hyperbolic time slice H2 in AdS3 and a version of continuous MERA (cMERA). We also give a heuristic argument why we can expect a sub-AdS scale bulk locality for holographic CFTs.

description: This study investigated the underperformance of Latinx students on standardized tests at a southern California elementary school. The study explored the impact of specific professional learning opportunities in culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) on teacher expectations and possible biases. The study aimed to determine if such learning opportunities can help teachers create a classroom environment where Latinx students feel valued and empowered, potentially leading to improved test scores. This qualitative, evaluative, multiphase study collected participant data using PDSA cycles, including questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Findings suggested that professional learning opportunities in CRP can effectively change teacher expectations and biases and positively impact Latinx students' performance on standardized tests. Findings highlighted the importance of ongoing professional learning in CRP for teachers to create inclusive and equitable classrooms for all students.
