description: Ο στόχος αυτής της μελέτης είναι να αποκαλυφθούν κρυμμένες ή ακόμα μη διαγνωσμένες μορφές του μονογεννετικού τύπου του διαβήτη, κατά την εγκυμοσύνη. Ο διαβήτης τύπου MODY μπορεί να παρουσιαστεί με διάφορες μορφές οι οποίες περιλαμβάνουν τους: GCK- MODY, HNF1A- MODY 1, HNF1B, HNF4A, KCNJ-11. Αυτές οι μορφές σχετίζονται με μία συγκεκριμένη μετάλλαξη και λόγω αυτού κάθε τύπος έχει διαφορετική κλινική παρουσίαση και διαχείριση κατά τη διάρκεια της εγκυμοσύνης. Οφείλει να σημειωθεί ότι οι συγκεκριμένοι τύποι επηρεάζουν την ανάπτυξη των εμβρύων. Αυτή η έρευνα έχει διεξαχθεί έως τώρα αφορώντας τον MODY και επίσης συζητείται μαζί με τις άλλες επιπλοκές που θα μπορούσαν να επηρεάσουν την πορεία των εμβρύων. Αρχικά, οφείλει να ξεκαθαριστεί ότι εάν ένα έμβρυο έχει επηρεαστεί από μία μετάλλαξη επιπρόσθετες μορφές όπως γενετικές αλλαγές έχουν αποκαλυφθεί περιλαμβάνοντας και τις μεταλλάξεις denovο. Επιπλέον μία σκέψη πρέπει να γίνει αφορώντας τους διάφορους άλλους παράγοντες , οι οποίοι επηρεάζουν την έκκριση ινσουλίνης πέραν από τη γλυκόζη. Οι παράγοντες που είναι υπεύθυνοι είναι οι ακόλουθοι: HNF-4A, HNF-1A, HNF-1B (μεταγραφικοί παράγοντες), Γλυκοκινάση, L- αργινίνη , KATP, διακυλγλυκερόλη κινάση, τα λιπαρά οξέα τα οποία παράγονται μέσω της γενετικής έκφρασης, τα mi- RNAs, m- TOR υποδοχέας, το Ενδοπλασματικό δίκτυο (ERS) και τέλος το Οξειδωτικό Στρες (OS)
description: The purpose of this review is to reveal hidden or even undiagnosed cases of monogenic diabetes, during pregnancy. MODY diabetes can present with various forms which include: GCK- MODY, HNF1A- MODY 1, HNF1B, HNF4A, KCNJ-11. These forms are associated with a specific mutation and because of this, each type has a different clinical presentation and management. It should also be mentioned that these specific types affect the development of the fetuses. The research that has been conducted so far regarding MODY is also discussed, along with the various other complications that could affect the fetuses. Initially, it should be clarified if a fetus is affected by a mutation (additional forms of genetic alterations have been revealed including de novo mutations). Also, a consideration should be made regarding the various other factors, which affect the excretion of insulin apart from glucose. The factors that are responsible are the following: HNF-4A, HNF-1A, HNF-1B (Transcription factors), Glucokinase, L- arginine, KATP, Diacylglycerol Kinase, the fatty acids which are produced through gene expression, mi- RNAs, the m- TOR receptor, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress (ERS) and lastly Oxidative Stress (OS)

description: Nonperturbative determinations of the renormalization group $β$ function are essential to connect lattice results to perturbative predictions of strongly coupled gauge theories and to determine the $Λ$ parameter or the strong coupling constant. The continuous $β$ function is very well suited for this task because it is applicable both in the weakly coupled deconfined regime as well as the strongly coupled confined regime. Here we report on our results for the $β$ function of the pure gauge SU(3) Yang-Mills theory in the gradient flow scheme. Our calculations cover the renormalized coupling range $g^2_{\textrm{GF}} \sim 1.2 - 27$, allowing for a direct determination of $\sqrt{8t_0} Λ_{\overline{\textrm{MS}}}$ in this system. Our prediction, $\sqrt{8 t_0} Λ_{\overline{\textrm{MS}}}=0.622(10)$, is in good agreement with recent direct determinations of this quantity.

description: In this paper we investigate penalized least squares methods in linear regression models with heteroscedastic error structure. It is demonstrated that the basic properties with respect to model selection and parameter estimation of bridge estimators, Lasso and adaptive Lasso do not change if the assumption of homoscedasticity is violated. However, these estimators do not have oracle properties in the sense of Fan and Li (2001). In order to address this problem we introduce weighted penalized least squares methods and demonstrate their advantages by asymptotic theory and by means of a simulation study.

description: In recent years, searches for the light and heavy charged Higgs bosons have been done by the ATLAS and the CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in proton-proton collision. Nevertheless, a definitive search is a program that still has to be carried out at the LHC. The experimental observation of charged Higgs bosons would indicate physics beyond the Standard Model. In the present work, we study the scaled-energy distribution of bottom-flavored mesons ($B$) inclusively produced in polarized top quark decays into a light charged Higgs boson and a massless bottom quark at next-to-leading order in the two-Higgs-doublet model; $t(\uparrow)\to bH^+\to BH^++X$. This spin-dependent energy distribution is studied in a specific helicity coordinate system where the polarization vector of the top quark is measured with respect to the direction of the Higgs momentum. The study of these energy distributions could be considered as a new channel to search for the charged Higgs bosons at the LHC. For our numerical analysis and phenomenological predictions, we restrict ourselves to the unexcluded regions of the MSSM $m_{H^+}-\tanβ$ parameter space determined by the recent results of the CMS \cite{CMS:2014cdp} and ATLAS \cite{TheATLAScollaboration:2013wia} collaborations.

Year: 1998

description: The number of street people is reported to be increasing with time. To assess the magnitude of and the associated factors with streetism, and the socio-economic, health and nutritional status of street elderly people, a cross sectional survey was conducted in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, in May 1998. A total of 2,064 street elderly people were counted during a one-day census. Of these 413 study subjects were enrolled in to the study by means of convenient sampling; 228 {55.2%} males and 185 {44.8%} females were included. The mean ± SD age of the study population was 70.9 ± 9.2 years {range 60-100 years} . Three hundred thirty four {80.9%} of the elderly people were single, females being more likely {OR=2.88; 95% CI=1.61-5.19}. Three hundred and seventy nine {91.8%} were migrants because of war, starvation, for medical reasons, looking for better job and to see relatives. The Majority did not belong to any social organization, 213 {51.6%} had some role to play and 280 (67.8%) reported to be respected as an elderly. Two hundred and sixty four {63.9%} felt lonely, and 280 {67.8%} felt hopeless. Two hundred and eighty {67 .8%} reported to eat food only when available, 230 {55.7%} to have no extra clothes, 76 {18.4%} and 67 (16.2%) to never wash their clothes and their body, respectively. Two hundred and ninety (70.2%) of the respondents reported to be sick during the study period; the most frequently reported health problems were of vision 212 {51.3%}, mastication 176 {42.6%}, rh eumatism 153 {37.0%}, abdominal 145 {35.1 %} and joint 143 {34.6%} problems. Age was an important predictor for many of the reported health problems. Out of 379 for whom data were available, 302 {79.8%} were found to be malnourished. Two hundred and twenty nine {55.4%} were willing to join any institution providing care for elderly people. One hundred twenty six {30 .5%} were "of" the street type while the rest, 287 {69.5%}, were "on" the street type. The "of" the street ones were more likely to suffer from different conditions, such as lack of food and clothing, harassment, loneliness, hopelessness. The Focus Group Discussions (FGD) also revealed similar findings, moreover, there were elderly people who reported to be capable and willing to work if they got suitable job. In conclusion, the street elderly people are numerous and have complex social, economic, health and nutritional problems which need urgent and mUlti-sectoral intervention.
Radiative Processes in Graphene and Similar Nanostructures at Strong Electric Fields

description: Low-energy single-electron dynamics in graphene monolayers and similar nanostructures is described by the Dirac model, being a 2+1 dimensional version of massless QED with the speed of light replaced by the Fermi velocity v_{F}=c/300. Methods of strong-field QFT are relevant for the Dirac model, since any low-frequency electric field requires a nonperturbative treatment of massless carriers in case it remains unchanged for a sufficiently long time interval. In this case, the effects of creation and annihilation of electron-hole pairs produced from vacuum by a slowly varying and small-gradient electric field are relevant, thereby substantially affecting the radiation pattern. For this reason, the standard QED text-book theory of photon emission cannot be of help. We construct the Fock-space representation of the Dirac model, which takes exact accounts of the effects of vacuum instability caused by external electric fields, and in which the interaction between electrons and photons is taken into account perturbatively, following the general theory (the generalized Furry representation). We consider the effective theory of photon emission in the first-order approximation and construct the corresponding total probabilities, taking into account the unitarity relation.

Vortex spectroscopy in the vortex glass: A real-space numerical approach
Creators: name: Berthod, C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A method is presented to solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations with arbitrary distributions of vortices. The real-space Green's function approach based on Chebyshev polynomials is complemented by a gauge transformation which allows one to treat finite as well as infinite, ordered as well as disordered vortex configurations. This tool gives unprecedented access to vortex lattices at very low magnetic fields and glassy phases. After describing in detail the method and its implementation, we use it to address a series of problems related to $d$-wave superconductivity on the square lattice. We first study the continuity of the vortex-core energy spectrum and its evolution from the quantum regime to the semiclassical limit; we investigate the effect of the band structure on the vortex by following the self-consistent solution through a Lifshitz transition; we then study the evolution from the vortex lattice to the isolated-vortex limit with decreasing field and show that a new emerging length scale controls this transition; finally, we perform a statistical study of the vortex-core local density of states in the presence of positional disorder in the vortex lattice. The calculations reveal a number of qualitative differences between the properties of vortices in the quantum and semiclassical regimes.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 1994

description: A cross-sectional, community-based study of injury was conducted in Bahir-Dar Zuria Woreda between October and December 1993. A study population of 13,286 was surveyed in five randomly selected kebeles, three of which were rural and two urban. A four-week recall period was used to estimate an incidence of injury of 550 per 1000 per year. The most common injuries were due to cutting and piercing objects or other mechanical injury (61.2%), animal injury (11.2%) and falls (10%). The home and its immediate environment were the main sites of occurrence of injury (52.7%), followed by roads or paths (21%) and farms (16.4%). Lower and upper extremities were the body parts affected in 48% and 29% of cases respectively. Over 81% of injuries in adults were occupational. Age and sex were found to be risk factors for injury, with males at higher risk of injuries than females (ratio of 1.8: 1) . Injury incidence increased significantly with increasing age. Children under five were at greater risk of falls and burn injuries. Urban residents, farmers, those who reported alcohol intoxication in the last month, and those owning no animals were also at significantly increased risk of injury. v Treatment was obtained for 33% of injuries, of which 38% were treated at home, 26% treated in out-patient heal th facilities, and five percent admitted to hospital. The average expenditure for medical care, including transport, of injured persons was 16 birr ($US 2.58). Over 35% of injuries resulted in one or more days of restricted activity, with an average duration of disability of 10 days. Based on the discounted healthy years of life (DHLYs) lost due to injury mortality and disability in the study population, it is estimated that annual national losses for treatment and lost productivity are in excess of EtB one billion (US$17l million) . The ratio of indirect to direct costs of injury was 11:1. Ini tial strategies for prevention and control of this neglected public health problem are recommended based on the study findings. A comprehensive national injury control program will require multi sectoral approaches and intervention from the national to the community level.
Considering the totality of evidence: Combining real-world data with clinical trial results to better inform decision-making

description: Clinical trials are the key mechanism for testing efficacy of cancer therapy. While results from clinical trials have high internal validity, generalizability is limited due to strict criteria for inclusion and exclusion (i.e., eligibility criteria). Indeed, eligibility criteria are designed to protect the safety of trial participants by excluding those expected to have low efficacy or high toxicity from the treatment under investigation. However, if overly restrictive, eligibility criteria can also result in narrow populations that do not reflect the general population treated in routine practice. Recent analyses of cancer clinical trial data have shown that eligibility criteria have become increasingly restrictive, ranging from 16 to 32 exclusion criteria per trial, over time. Therefore, it is not surprising that <5% of US adult patients with cancer participate in clinical trials, and those who do are often younger and healthier than patients seen in clinical practice. These differences raise serious concern that the “efficacy” of cancer therapies reported in published clinical trials provides incomplete evidence of their “effectiveness” when administered to patients in routine care.

description: Learning and pattern recognition inevitably requires memory of previous events, a feature that conventional CMOS hardware needs to artificially simulate. Dynamical systems naturally provide the memory, complexity, and nonlinearity needed for a plethora of different unconventional computing approaches. In this perspective article, we focus on the unconventional computing concept of reservoir computing and provide an overview of key physical reservoir works reported. We focus on the promising platform of magnetic structures and, in particular, skyrmions, which potentially allow for low-power applications. Moreover, we discuss skyrmion-based implementations of Brownian computing, which has recently been combined with reservoir computing. This computing paradigm leverages the thermal fluctuations present in many skyrmion systems. Finally, we provide an outlook on the most important challenges in this field.

description: Objective Examine the effect of tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors (AIs) on the risk of 12 clinically relevant cardiovascular outcomes in postmenopausal female breast cancer survivors. Methods We carried out two prospective cohort studies among postmenopausal women with breast cancer in UK primary care and hospital data (2002-2016) and US Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results-Medicare data (2008-2013). Using Cox adjusted proportional hazards models, we compared cardiovascular risks between AI and tamoxifen users; and in the USA, between users of both drug classes and women receiving no endocrine therapy. Results 10 005 (UK) and 22 027 (USA) women with postmenopausal breast cancer were included. In both countries, there were higher coronary artery disease risks in AI compared with tamoxifen users (UK age-standardised incidence rate: 10.17 vs 7.51 per 1000 person-years, HR: 1.29, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.76; US age-standardised incidence rate: 36.82 vs 26.02 per 1000 person-years, HR: 1.29, 95% C I1.06 to 1.55). However, comparisons with those receiving no endocrine therapy (US data) showed no higher risk for either drug class and a lower risk in tamoxifen users (age-standardised incidence rate tamoxifen vs unexposed: 26.02 vs 35.19 per 1000 person-years, HR: 0.74, 95% 0.60 to 0.92; age-standardised incidence rate AI vs unexposed: 36.82 vs 35.19, HR: 0.96, 95% CI 0.83 to 1.10). Similar patterns were seen for other cardiovascular outcomes (arrhythmia, heart failure and valvular heart disease). As expected, there was more venous thromboembolism in tamoxifen compared with both AI users and those unexposed. Conclusions Higher risks of several cardiovascular outcomes among AI compared with tamoxifen users appeared to be driven by protective effects of tamoxifen, rather than cardiotoxic effects of AIs.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2005

description: In Mekelle town the number of catering establishments is increasing from time to time like other towns of the country. Different efforts are undergoing to prevent and/or avoid the incidence of foodborne diseases that can arise from food service establishments. However, the sanitary condition is not known since no systematic study was carried out to assess the condition. Thus, this study was designed to determine the sanitary conditions of mass catering establishments in Mekelle town. A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2004 to January 2005. A census was employed to obtain the list of catering establishments. Four hundred twenty two (422) establishments were recruited for the study from the total 546 establishments by simple random selection technique. Standardized and structured questionnaire was used to gather information. Bacteriological examination of food utensils from randomly selected 88 establishments was made. Standard swab sample collection and laboratory procedures were employed. Epi Info version 6 was implemented for data management. The findings of the study showed that 91% of the establishments have license, 65.7% were found operating their business in rented buildings and 83.8% of the managers/owners were literate. Sixty two percent of the floor and 54.4% of the walls and ceilings of the kitchens were found in good repair condition. Toilet, hand washing lavatories, proper solid waste receptacles and privately owned tap water supply were available in 96.9%, 57.1%, 39.2% and 93.6% of the establishments, respectively. Ineffective dish washing practice, improper food stuff and food utensil storage, poor personal hygiene and food handling practices of food handlers were also the major deficiencies observed. Of all the bacteriological tested, 44.3% were found with v aerobic mesophilic bacteria above the acceptable level (>100 colonies/utensil) and 45.5% were grossly contaminated (> 50 fecal coliform/100ml). Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were also isolated from 27.3% and 18.2% of the swabbed food utensils. In conclusion large numbers of mass catering establishments were found with poor sanitary condition and major deficiencies of the premises. The knowledge and practice of food handlers were also found unsatisfactory. In addition the laboratory results of swabbed utensils revealed the ineffectiveness of washing, sanitizing, handling and storage system. Therefore, the likelihood of food contamination is very high. Promoting and improving the standard sanitary requirements through regulatory activity, regular sanitary inspection focusing on education and motivation of owners and food handlers as well as an integrated work with other relevant sectors, is recommended.

description: The cubic-quintic Swift-Hohenberg equation (SH35) has been proposed as an order parameter description of several convective systems with reflection symmetry in the layer midplane, including binary fluid convection. We use numerical continuation, together with extensive direct numerical simulations, to study SH35 with an additional nonvariational quadratic term to model the effects of breaking the midplane reflection symmetry. The nonvariational structure of the model leads to the propagation of asymmetric spatially localized structures (LSs). An asymptotic prediction for the drift velocity of such structures is validated numerically. Next, we present an extensive study of possible collision scenarios between identical and nonidentical traveling structures, varying a temperature-like control parameter. The final state may be a simple bound state of the initial LSs or longer or shorter than the sum of the two initial states as a result of nonlinear interactions. The Maxwell point of the variational system is shown to have no bearing on which of these scenarios is realized. Instead, we argue that the stability properties of bound states are key. While individual LSs lie on a modified snakes-and-ladders structure in the nonvariational SH35, the multi-pulse bound states resulting from collisions lie on isolas in parameter space. In the gradient SH35, such isolas are always of figure-eight shape, but in the present non-gradient case they are generically more complex, some of which terminate in T-point bifurcations. A reduced model consisting of two coupled ordinary differential equations is proposed to describe the linear interactions between the tails of the LSs in which the model parameters are deduced using gradient descent optimization. For collisions leading to the formation of simple bound states, the reduced model reproduces the trajectories of LSs with high quantitative accuracy.

description: The Nelson-Seiberg theorem dictates conditions for the spontaneous breaking of the supersymmetry in Wess-Zumino models with generic, possibly non-renormalizable, superpotential; the existence of the R-symmetry is necessary while the spontaneous breaking of the R-symmetry is sufficient. If we restrict ourselves to generic but renormalizable theories, however, there exist Wess-Zumino models whose vacua break the R-symmetry spontaneously while preserving the supersymmetry. The classification and conditions of such renormalizable exceptions are under active study. We give some new examples of spontaneous breaking of the R-symmetry with preserved supersymmetry that are not covered in the literature.

description: Demografische Entwicklungen haben insbesondere kleinräumige Effekte. Hierauf haben sich die Kommunen, aber auch die wirtschaftlich Handelnden einzustellen. Diese Einsicht nimmt der Beitrag zum Anlass, um am Beispiel des Ruhrgebiets die zu erwartenden demografischen und sozialstrukturellen Veränderungen darzustellen und die Konsequenzen für den Arbeitsmarkt und die Wirtschaft herauszuarbeiten. Besonders betont werden dabei die Chancen und Potenziale des demografischen Wandels. Dargestellt wird dies insbesondere anhand eines inzwischen abgeschlossenen Forschungsprojekts, welches sich zum Ziel gesetzt hat, gemeinsam mit den Wirtschaftsakteuren vor Ort neue demografiesensible Geschäftsfelder im Bereich Wellness/Gesundheit, Informationstechnologie, Finanzdienstleistungen und vor allem Wohnen zu erschließen.
description: Demographic developments have in particular small-scale effects. On that the municipalities and the economic actors have to adjust their actions. This insight takes the contribution to the cause, in order to represent by the example of the Ruhr Region the demographic and social structural changes which can be expected and to work the consequences out for the job market and the economy. Especially the chances and potentials of the demographic change are in the spotlight. This focus founds it empirically basis on a finished research project, which had the aim, to discover together with local economic actors new demography-sensitive business fields within the range wellness/health, information technology, financial services and first of all habitation.

description: A cross-sectional study was carried out to examine the interrelationship of a ge, sex, nutr i t ional s tatus and the effect of residing i n malarious areas, \~ith the development of malaria infection with and without symptoms. The study population consisted of 2,708 individual s from Pawi resettlement area, of whom 1,513 (55.87 %) were chi l dren under the age of 5 years and the rest 1,195 (44.13 %) above the age of 5 years. Symptomat.ic mala r i a , defined as fever plus shivering or sweating , coupled with a positive smear for malaria parasite had a prevalence of 10 . 2 %. Asymptomat.ic malar i a, defined as a positive smear for ma l aria, with none of the above symptoms had a preval e nce of 7.0 %. The overa ll prevalence of malaria was significantl y lower during inf ancy (9 %) and higher in the second year of life (22 %), P = 0 . 0001. Similarly the preva lence of symptomatic malaria was significantly lower (4 %) during 1nfancy and hig he r (14 %) i n chi ldren 1n the second year of 1 ife, P = 0.001. No significant. var iati on vli t h age 1n the prevalence of a symptomatic mal aria was observed. No s ign iflcant association between age, sex , nut r it 10na l status of chi ldren or res idence in malarious areas with the proportion of ma l arl a infectlon with and without symptoms was detected . Child ren in the second year o f life were identified as hav i ng hi ghe r risk of clinical malaria therefore due attention should be paid to provide them wi th facilit i es fo r ea rly diagnosis and treatment. The study also sugges t.s that re l atively short experience, in areas with high transmission of malaria ma y lead to th e development of certain level o f protective immunity against the disease.

description: The temperature dependence of the sum of the QCD up- and down-quark masses, $(m_u + m_d)$ and the pion decay constant, $f_π$, are determined from two thermal finite energy QCD sum rules for the pseudoscalar-current correlator. This quark-mass remains mostly constant for temperatures well below the critical temperature for deconfinement/chiral-symmetry restoration. As this critical temperature is approached, the quark-mass increases sharply with increasing temperature. This increase is far more pronounced if the temperature dependence of the pion mass (determined independently from other methods) is taken into account. The behavior of $f_π(T)$ is consistent with the expectation from chiral symmetry, i.e. that it should follow the thermal dependence of the quark condensate, independently of the quark mass.

description: We investigate the evolution dynamics of inhomogeneous discrete-time one-dimensional quantum walks displaying long-range correlations in both space and time. The associated quantum coin operators are built to exhibit a random inhomogeneity distribution of long-range correlations embedded in the time evolution protocol through a fractional Brownian motion with spectrum following a power-law behavior, $S(k)\sim 1/k^ν$. The power-law correlated disorder encoded in the phases of the quantum coin is shown to give rise to a wide variety of spreading patterns of the qubit states, from localized to subdiffusive, diffusive, and superdiffusive (including ballistic) behavior, depending on the relative strength of the parameters driving the correlation degree. Dispersion control is then possible in one-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks by suitably tunning the long-range correlation properties assigned to the inhomogeneous quantum coin operator.

description: The buckling instabilities of core-shell systems, comprising an interior elastic sphere, attached to an exterior shell, have been proposed to underlie myriad biological morphologies. To fully discuss such systems, however, it is important to properly understand the elasticity of the spherical core. Here, by exploiting well-known properties of the solid harmonics, we present a simple, direct method for solving the linear elastic problem of spheres and spherical voids with surface deformations, described by a real spherical harmonic. We calculate the corresponding bulk elastic energies, providing closed-form expressions for any values of the spherical harmonic degree (l), Poisson ratio, and shear modulus. We find that the elastic energies are independent of the spherical harmonic index (m). Using these results, we revisit the buckling instability experienced by a core-shell system comprising an elastic sphere, attached within a membrane of fixed area, that occurs when the area of the membrane sufficiently exceeds the area of the unstrained sphere [C. Fogle, A. C. Rowat, A. J. Levine and J. Rudnick, Phys. Rev. E 88, 052404 (2013)]. We determine the phase diagram of the core-shell sphere's shape, specifying what value of l is realized as a function of the area mismatch and the core-shell elasticity. We also determine the shape phase diagram for a spherical void bounded by a fixed-area membrane.

Resonance interaction energy between two accelerated identical atoms in a coaccelerated frame and the Unruh effect

description: We investigate the resonance interaction energy between two uniformly accelerated identical atoms, interacting with the scalar field or the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state, in the reference frame coaccelerating with the atoms. We assume that one atom is excited and the other in the ground state, and that they are prepared in their correlated symmetric or antisymmetric state. Using perturbation theory, we separate, at the second order in the atom-field coupling, the contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction field to the energy shift of the interacting system. We show that only the radiation reaction term contributes to the resonance interaction between the two atoms, while Unruh thermal fluctuations, related to the vacuum fluctuations contribution, do not affect the resonance interatomic interaction. We also show that the resonance interaction between two uniformly accelerated atoms, recently investigated in the comoving (locally inertial) frame, can be recovered in the coaccelerated frame, without the additional assumption of the Fulling-Davies-Unruh temperature for the quantum fields (as necessary for the Lamb-shift, for example). This indicates, in the case considered, the equivalence between the coaccelerated frame and the locally inertial frame.

description: A descriptive cross-sectional study to assess factors of sustainability of water supply and sanitation projects was done in the rural setting of North Gondar in North Western Ethiopia, January 2002. The quantitative study included an interviewing 768 female household respondents using a structured questionnaire. A qualitative study was conducted from one hundred fourteen water and sanitation projects using observation checklist and supported by slide film and computer print out pictures. Focus group discussion was conducted, both at the community and at the project funding organization level. The study examined Utilization, Functionality and Participation of the community as important elements of sustainability to their water and sanitation projects. The mean age of the respondents were 37.09 years. Seventy (9.11%) were literate, six hundred thirty two (82.3%) were married, of these 267(42.25%) of their husbands were literate, a mean family size of 5.31 persons per household, a mean of 60.72 Birr family income per month. Four hundred forty two (57.6%) households were using protected water projects and 5 (0.7%) were having pit latrines. The mean per capita water consumption was 6.68 liters, the mean time to collect water; total time, from house to source, staying at the source, and back to the house were 20.51, 6.11, 5.65, and 8.76 minutes respectively. The average frequency of water collection was 2.04 times per day. Three hundred thirty nine (76.7%) were participated in the development of the water projects. Fifty-two (11.76%) of the respondents were complaining of not functionality of the water projects. A significant positive association of adequate water per capita was found with the family size four and less number of people (p= .009). Vii 10 A very significant positive association with the respondents complains of projects not function (p < .00001) was found time waiting at the water point (mean + SD 5.65 + 2.24). Significant positive association with the participation of respondents contributed (p < 0.05) was found with the type of water projects (protected springs) than Protected hand dug well. Results from the observation checklist showed that 77% of the protected spring and 52% of the hand dug wells were broken at least once since of their duration of services. Animal trough and cloth washing facilities were observed in 11(21%) protected springs and 9(17%) hand dug wells. There were Guards at the water source points in 12(23%) of the protected springs and 19(36.5%) protected hand-dug wells. Based on the findings, the need of training on proper financial management of the contributed money, strengthening the skill and resource capacity of the water desk agents at the Woreda level, and planning to construct additional protected water are recommended.
