description: The rapid advancements in technology have led to a significant increase in the amount of data being generated and stored. This has created a greater demand for storage systems that are efficient and reliable, especially in critical sectors like finance and healthcare. However, traditional storage solutions are struggling to keep up with the growing data volumes and the need for real-time data processing. To tackle these challenges, machine learning techniques have emerged as a promising approach to improve storage systems. Storage vendors have widely adopted these techniques to enhance their offerings. However, as we evaluate the various ways machine learning can be applied to storage, we've noticed a gap in how effectively it aligns with business objectives. In this presentation, we aim to address this gap by suggesting additional approaches that can complement existing solutions in a non-disruptive manner. Our talk focuses on three key areas. First, we delve into the philosophical aspect of machine learning interpretability. We ponder whether it is truly necessary to have a complete understanding of how black box models make decisions. Second, we explore the importance of counterfactual reasoning and what-if scenarios, particularly in risk-sensitive systems like storage security. We discuss how leveraging causal inference can provide a more comprehensive and informed perspective, leading to better decision-making processes. Finally, we introduce the concept of algorithm-agnostic uncertainty quantification using the conformal prediction framework. This framework acts as a wrapper around any machine learning model and can quantify the reliability of individual predictions, a feature that is currently lacking in most models. Throughout the presentation, we showcase the effectiveness of these focus areas through real-life storage use cases such as data security, intelligent tiering, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. Our goal is to empower the audience to apply machine learning techniques in their own industry settings. We provide practical insights and guidance that will enable industry professionals to navigate the ever-changing landscape of storage systems, contributing to a better and more progressive storage community.

description: We calculate the zero-temperature differential conductance $dI/dV$ of a voltage-biased one-dimensional junction between a nontopological and a topological superconductor for arbitrary junction transparency using the scattering matrix formalism. We consider two representative models for the topological superconductors: (i) spinful $p$-wave and (ii) $s$-wave with spin-orbit coupling and spin splitting. We verify that in the tunneling limit (small junction transparencies) where only single Andreev reflections contribute to the current, the conductance for voltages below the nontopological superconductor gap $Δ_s$ is zero and there are two symmetric conductance peaks appearing at $eV = \pm Δ_s$ with the quantized value $(4-π)2e^2/h$ due to resonant Andreev reflection from the Majorana zero mode. However, when the junction transparency is not small, there is a finite conductance for $e|V| < Δ_s$ arising from multiple Andreev reflections. The conductance at $eV = \pm Δ_s$ in this case is no longer quantized. In general, the conductance is particle-hole asymmetric except for sufficiently small transparencies. We further show that, for certain values of parameters, the tunneling conductance from a zero-energy conventional Andreev bound state can be made to mimic the conductance from a true Majorana mode.

Year: 2014

description: Introduction: Laboratory testing is an integral part of the clinical decision-making process, and results of laboratory testing often strongly influence medical diagnoses and therapies. Quality of specimen is an important factor that affects the accuracy and usefulness of laboratory results. The problem is high in resource poor countries like our country, Ethiopia. Identifying the types, frequency and associated factors influencing the quality of clinical samples is important for designing appropriate interventions to prevent their generation and Serology departments. Compared with the respective frequency with which they collect the specimen, laboratory personnel had significantly fewer rejected specimens than Nonlaboratory personnel. The proportion of specimens that were rejected in emergency department and inpatient services were twice more than for the outpatient services. Conclusion: Our finding shows the problems of specimens in the preanalytic phase and the factors involved in rejection of specimens, particularly with respect to specimen collections performed outside the laboratory walls by Nonlaboratory personnel who are not under the direct control of the laboratory; moreover, the finding shows that the rates of specimen rejection are higher for inpatients and ED than outpatients, owing to the performance of outpatient procedures by personnel under direct laboratory control. and hence improving the quality of laboratory service. Different literatures showed that more than 70% of errors in the laboratory occur in the pre analytical phase. Objective: The purpose of the study is to determine the frequency of specimen rejection and associated factors of specimens submitted for different tests to the St. Paul hospital millennium medical college, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Cross sectional study design was applied at St. Paul hospital millennium medical college medical laboratory. A total of 8063 specimens were collected during the study period. The quality of all specimens submitted to laboratory during data collection period were checked and inappropriate specimens were recorded in data collection checklist format. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 16.0 software. Result: Of 8063 total specimens submitted for testing to the laboratory of St. Paul hospital millennium medical college during the data collection period, 116(1.4%) were rejected. The most frequent reason for rejection was hemolysis of specimen, which occurred much more frequently than the second most cited reasons, clotted specimens and unlabelled specimens. Compared with their respective frequency of rejection of specimens by type of requested laboratory service, significantly more rejected specimens occurred in Hematolog

description: Several directional techniques have been proposed for a directional detection of Dark matter, among others anisotropic crystal detectors, nuclear emulsion plates, and low-pressure gaseous TPCs. The key point is to get access to the initial direction of the nucleus recoiling due to the elastic scattering by a WIMP. In this article, we aim at estimating, for each method, how the information of the recoil track initial direction is preserved in different detector materials. We use the SRIM simulation code to emulate the motion of the first recoiling nucleus in each material. We propose the use of a new observable, D, to quantify the preservation of the initial direction of the recoiling nucleus in the detector. We show that in an emulsion mix and an anisotropic crystal, the initial direction is lost very early, while in a typical TPC gas mix, the direction is well preserved.

Los procesos de erosión y desertificación constituyen un grave problema económico y medioambiental en España y muy particularmente en la parte suroriental de la Península Ibérica, donde se concentra un gran porcentaje de los más de 8 millones de hectáreas que sufren procesos de erosión graves o muy graves. En más de un tercio del total del territorio de la cuenca mediterránea la pérdida de suelo supera las 15 toneladas por hectárea al año. La erosión es debida a múltiples causas que han sido ampliamente estudiadas, entre las que sobresalen el mal uso de los recursos forestales, las malas prácticas agrícolas y el abandono de cultivos. Sin obviar las grandes implicaciones medioambientales y humanas que los procesos erosivos tienen, especialmente, en lo referente a la consecución universal de la soberanía y seguridad alimentaria, aspectos de singular relevancia en los países del Sur Global. En los 40 años que van de 1955 a 1995, un tercio de las tierras agrícolas del mundo (400 millones de hectáreas) han dejado de ser aptas para usos agrícolas. Un 80% del suelo agrícola de nuestro planeta tiene actualmente unas tasas de erosión medias o altas. En España nos encontramos con tasas de erosión medias o altas entre el 40% y el 50% de los suelos agrarios.

description: The quality of human resource is an asset to any organization and as a result training has become an issue that has to be faced by every organization. This study, therefore, is conducted to determine the impact of training on worker performance in public sector organizations using Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Ministry of Health. The research is a case study in the form of cross sectional design in which data was collected across a population through simple random sampling. The objective of the study was to investigate the actual training practice and its effect in improving the performance of employees. The social identity theory which deals about how people think as members of groups affects the outcomes of learning interventions is the theory that the researcher has used because, social identity is a key input to or driver of learning (training) and performance in organizations. The methodologies primarily the researcher used to collect data were interview and questionnaire augmented by different literatures found in the organization. Besides, the researcher used regression and correlation tools to analyze the data. The correlation analysis result clarified that all relationship between the dependent and independent variables are positively and significantly correlated. Additionally, it was found that training has higher impact on employee performance. Key words: Training, Performance, Human Resource, Ministry of Health, Public Sector, Social Identity Theory.

description: We show that for two-band systems nonsymmorphic symmetries may enforce the existence of band crossings in the bulk, which realize Fermi surfaces of reduced dimensionality. We find that these unavoidable crossings originate from the momentum dependence of the nonsymmorphic symmetry, which puts strong restrictions on the global structure of the band configurations. Three different types of nonsymmorphic symmetries are considered: (i) a unitary nonsymmorphic symmetry, (ii) a nonsymmorphic magnetic symmetry, and (iii) a nonsymmorphic symmetry combined with inversion. For nonsymmorphic symmetries of the latter two types, the band crossings are located at high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone, with their exact positions being determined by the algebra of the symmetry operators. To characterize these band degeneracies we introduce a \emph{global} topological charge and show that it is of $\mathbb{Z}_2$ type, which is in contrast to the \emph{local} topological charge of Fermi points in, say, Weyl semimetals. To illustrate these concepts, we discuss the $π$-flux state as well as the SSH model at its critical point and show that these two models fit nicely into our general framework of nonsymmorphic two-band systems.

description: We present a review on the progress in the understanding and characterization of holonomy and topology of a discrete-time quantum walk architecture, consisting of a unitary step given by a sequence of two non-commuting rotations in parameter space \cite{Puentesarxiv}. Unlike other similar systems recently studied in detail in the literature, this system does not present continous 1D topological boundaries, it only presents a discrete number of Dirac points where the quasi- energy gap closes. At these discrete points the topological winding number is not defined. Therefore, such discrete points represent topological boundaries of dimension zero, and they endow the system with a non-trivial topology. We illustrate the non-trivial character of the system by calculating the Zak phase. We also propose a suitable experimental scheme to implement these ideas, and we present preliminary experimental data.

description: This study focuses on the role of the informal sector in alleviating poverty in Yeka sub city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The objectives of this research were exploring general context in which the informal sector operates, assessing the living and working conditions of informal sector operators, exploring the contribution of the informal sector to reducing poverty, identifying coping mechanism of poverty in the urban informal sector and forwarding recommendation. A descriptive survey design was used and a purposive sample of two respondent groups, namely government officials and the informal sector participants themselves was drawn, and personal interviews conducted and questionnaires were filled. The purpose of the interviews of the first respondent group was to discover their perception of the informal sector in Addis Ababa City in general, and in Yeka sub city in particular. This perception was vital for it was clear that this group influenced government policies much more than the general public. The informal sector participants themselves filled a questionnaire to learn how the informal sector operated, its scope and benefits, how successful it was in alleviating poverty in Yeka sub city. The results show that there were mixed feelings among the people in each of the two respondent groups. Although many of the government officials were positive, mainly because the government's policy of free enterprise and promote the formalization of the informal sector publicly, they still believe there is a need to control the sector's operations. More than 83 percent of the informal sector participants are making a comfortable livelihood through their activities despite some difficulties. The lack of employment in the formal sector and the desire to survive were found to be the two pressing problems that enhance the growth of the informal sector in Yeka sub city. The participants could further expand their informal business activities if access to credit facilities and working space were made available. However, further research is required into the size and contribution of this sector to poverty alleviation and economic growth. Keywords: Informal Sector, poverty alleviation

description: The CIV broad emission line is visible in optical spectra to redshifts exceeding z~5. CIV has long been known to exhibit significant displacements to the blue and these `blueshifts' almost certainly signal the presence of strong outflows. As a consequence, single-epoch virial black hole (BH) mass estimates derived from CIV velocity-widths are known to be systematically biased compared to masses from the hydrogen Balmer lines. Using a large sample of 230 high-luminosity (log $L_{\rm Bol}$ = 45.5-48 erg/s), redshift 1.55000 km/s. Using the monotonically increasing relationship between the CIV blueshift and the mass ratio BH(CIV)/BH(H$α$) we derive an empirical correction to all CIV BH-masses. The scatter between the corrected CIV masses and the Balmer masses is 0.24 dex at low CIV blueshifts (~0 km/s) and just 0.10 dex at high blueshifts (~3000 km/s), compared to 0.40 dex before the correction. The correction depends only on the CIV line properties - i.e. full-width at half maximum and blueshift - and can therefore be applied to all quasars where CIV emission line properties have been measured, enabling the derivation of un-biased virial BH mass estimates for the majority of high-luminosity, high-redshift, spectroscopically confirmed quasars in the literature.

description: We study the spread of a persuasive new idea through a population of continuous-time random walkers in one dimension. The idea spreads via social gatherings involving groups of nearby walkers who act according to a biased "majority rule": After each gathering, the group takes on the new idea if more than a critical fraction $\frac{1-\varepsilon}{2} < \frac{1}{2}$ of them already hold it; otherwise they all reject it. The boundary of a domain where the new idea has taken hold expands as a traveling wave in the density of new idea holders. Our walkers move by Lévy motion, and we compute the wave velocity analytically as a function of the frequency of social gatherings and the exponent of the jump distribution. When this distribution is sufficiently heavy tailed, then, counter to intuition, the idea can propagate faster if social gatherings are held less frequently. When jumps are truncated, a critical gathering frequency can emerge which maximizes propagation velocity. We explore our model by simulation, confirming our analytical results.

description: We study the spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) and the magnon spin transport (MST) in Pt/Y3Fe5O12(YIG)-based devices with intentionally modified interfaces. Our measurements show that the surface treatment of the YIG film results in a slight enhancement of the spin-mixing conductance and an extraordinary increase in the efficiency of the spin-to-magnon excitations at room temperature. The surface of the YIG film develops a surface magnetic frustration at low temperatures, causing a sign change of the SMR and a dramatic suppression of the MST. Our results evidence that SMR and MST could be used to explore magnetic properties of surfaces, including those with complex magnetic textures, and stress the critical importance of the non-magnetic/ferromagnetic interface properties in the performance of the resulting spintronic devices.

The Trajectory, Prevalence and Consequences of Serious Crimes in Addis Ababa: An Exploratory Descriptive Study
Creators: name: Ephrem, Demeke
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Crimes are not accepted and criminals are condemned in all societies. Penalties are arise from all legal systems, albeit, the magnitude, pervasiveness and consequences thereof are extensive globally in general and in Ethiopia in particular. This study aims at investigating how serious crimes' are ongoing, their prevalence and the consequence in the study area of Addis Ababa. The study's target populations consisted of Addis Ababa Police Commission, Courts and the Attorney General. Relevant to this thesis secondary data were acquired from these organs archives and questionnaires were also distributed to their respective employees and also discussions were made with these organs staffs. From the study, it was principally proven that socioeconomic problems are root causes for crimes including poverty, unemployment, the prevalence of abusive and drug substances, psychological disorders and others. In addition, the study revealed that serious crimes remain as challenging in the study area including fraud, robbery, aggravated theft and homicide. The study further found that certain members of society like females and children are directly affected by crimes. The perpetrators are largely male, bachelor or single, with limited education; young and early adults. On the other hand, the impact of serious crime goes far beyond affecting people and property to the highest level that perturbing the socio-economic fabric of the study area including the wellbeing and security of the dwellers and business transaction. Those bodies which are expected to encounter serious crimes having faced diverse challenge in preventing serious crimes. The study further found that the existing criminal justice policy is not addressing all serious crimes sufficiently and exhaustively as it should and stockholders are not coordinated and well-organized in regards to serious crimes. As well to fight serious crimes, institutional bottlenecks can be taken as impediments viz. lack of capacity, logistics, and infrastructures lack of coordination, communication, and commitment among stakeholders. The study found that crime prevention mechanisms like awareness creation are key in responding to crimes. The study concludes with recommendation grave crimes prescribed in the thesis. Those stockholders who involve in crime control and curbing institution should work together to reduce and ultimately eliminate serious crimes.

description: Kleine und mittelgroße Unternehmen (KMU) gelten in der Öffentlichkeit häufig als sehr viel flexibler als die mitunter als `sklerotisch' und `überbürokratisiert' apostrophierten Großunternehmen. Diese Einschätzung ist hinsichtlich der Arbeitszeit-Flexibilisierung nur teilweise durch das vorliegende Datenmaterial gedeckt: So wird in zahlreichen (quantitativen) Studien auf ein vergleichsweise niedriges Niveau von Arbeitszeitflexibilisierung in den KMU hingewiesen. Dennoch dürften die Arbeitszeitstrukturen in der weitgehend durch Informalität geprägten Betriebspraxis der KMU insgesamt flexibler sein, als es sich in der Literatur mitunter darstellt. Gleichzeitig haben KMU aber auch mit spezifischen Problemlagen zu kämpfen, was die Einführung innovativer Arbeitszeitmuster betrifft: Unzureichende Organisationsstrukturen, mangelndes Wissen, mentale Vorbehalte bei den (Eigentümer-)Unternehmern und ein fehlendes systematisches Personal- bzw. Arbeitszeitmanagements.
description: Public, small and medium-seized enterprises (SMEs) are often thought to be much more flexible than large companies which often have the image of being 'sclerotic' or 'overbureaucratized'. This appraisal only partially corresponds with existing data on working time flexibility as several (quantitative) studies indicate only a relatively low level of flexibility of working time structures in SMEs. Nevertheless, because of the typically informal shop floor practices in SMEs, working hours probably are more flexible there than it is widely suggested in the literature. Despite this, SMEs still face specific problems concerning the introduction and implementation of innovative working time patterns: Unsufficient organizational structures, a considerable lack of knowledge, mental reservations on the side of the owners or managers, and a missing systematic personnel and working time management.

description: Proton radiography is a technique extensively used to resolve magnetic field structures in high energy density plasmas, revealing a whole variety of interesting phenomena such as magnetic reconnection and collisionless shocks found in astrophysical systems. Existing methods of analyzing proton radiographs give mostly qualitative results or specific quantitative parameters such as magnetic field strength, and recent work showed that the line-integrated transverse magnetic field can be reconstructed in specific regimes where many simplifying assumptions were needed. Using artificial neural networks, we suggest a novel 3-D reconstruction method that works for a more general case. A proof of concept is presented here, with mean reconstruction errors of less than 5 percent even after introducing noise. We demonstrate that over the long term, this approach is more computationally efficient compared to other techniques. We also highlight the need for proton tomography because (i) certain field structures cannot be reconstructed from a single radiograph and (ii) errors can be further reduced when reconstruction is performed on radiographs generated by proton beams fired in different directions.

On the maximal cut of Feynman integrals and the solution of their differential equations

description: The standard procedure for computing scalar multi-loop Feynman integrals consists in reducing them to a basis of so-called master integrals, derive differential equations in the external invariants satisfied by the latter and, finally, try to solve them as a Laurent series in $ε= (4-d)/2$, where $d$ are the space-time dimensions. The differential equations are, in general, coupled and can be solved using Euler's variation of constants, provided that a set of homogeneous solutions is known. Given an arbitrary differential equation of order higher than one, there exist no general method for finding its homogeneous solutions. In this paper we show that the maximal cut of the integrals under consideration provides one set of homogeneous solutions, simplifying substantially the solution of the differential equations.

description: Vor dem Hintergrund der anhaltenden Debatte um den Industriestandort Deutschland beschäftigt sich der vorliegende Beitrag mit einer Alternative zu den gängigen Konzepten des Kostenwettlaufs oder der Produktionsverlagerung: der Integration von Sachgutproduktion und produktbegleitender Dienstleistung. Auf der Grundlage einer aktuellen Erhebung in der Investitionsgüterindustrie wird dargestellt, welchen Umfang und welche Inhalte das Dienstleistungsangebot der deutschen Firmen hat. Darauf aufbauend wird gezeigt, daß u.a. die betriebliche Organisation der Investitionsgüterbetriebe und die Qualifikation der darin Beschäftigten an die neuen Aufgaben anzupassen sind. Mit drei Praxisbeispielen wird veranschaulicht, wie unternehmensspezifisch Lösungen beim Übergang von der Sachgutherstellung zur Produktion von Sachgütern und produktbegleitenden Dienstleistungen aussehen können.
description: Against the background of the actual debate on the disadvantages of Germany as a location for industrial production, this paper deals with an alternative approach to securing production in Germany: the integration of product manufacturing and services instead of cost cutting or relocation of production plants abroad. Using the database of a 1997 survey in the German Capital goods industry the extent and contents of services offered by manufacturers are described and analysed. Organization of manufacturers and the qualification of personnel were identified as two out of a complex set of factors, which are barriers to a broader orientation of manufacturers towards customer-oriented services. Solutions for these problems were described theoretically and by introducing three firm examples of a successful transition from manufacturer to producer of goods and services.

description: In diesem Beitrag werden die wichtigsten vorliegenden Prognosen zu den Auswirkungen der neuen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IuK) auf die Beschäftigung analysiert und miteinander verglichen. Neben der methodischen Anlage der Untersuchungen werden vor allem die Annahmen der Prognosen, die Indikatoren für die Diffusionstheorien der Verfasser sind, thematisiert. Den Prognosen liegen implizit oder explizit Theorien über die Diffusion der neuen IuK zugrunde. Wenn es sich nur um einen inkrementalen technischen Fortschritt handelt, der innerhalb der bestehenden Strukturen umgesetzt werden kann, sind einfache Diffusionstheorien hinreichend, die wie klassische ökonomische Theorien zum technischen Wandel davon ausgehen, daß eine hohe Preiselastizität der Nachfrage besteht und sich neue Produkte und Dienstleistungen vor allem über Preissenkungen verbreiten. Es wird gezeigt, daß die Auswirkungen der IuK nur mit komplexeren Diffusionstheorien erkannt werden können, da es sich um eine technische Revolution handelt. Bei technischen Revolutionen werden gesellschaftliche Institutionen grundlegend verändert, und es bedarf neuer Paradigmen etwa bei der Organisation von Arbeit.
description: This article analyses and compares the most important forecasts available of the effects on employment of new information and communications technologies (ICTs). In addition to outlining the methodological approaches adopted by the various studies, the article focuses in particular on those assumptions in the forecasts that acts as pointers to the authors theories of diffusion. The forecasts are underpinned implicitly or explicitly by theories on the diffusion of ICTs. Simple theories of diffusion are a satisfactory means of dealing with incremental technical progress that can be implemented within existing structures; such theories, like standard economic theories on technical change, are based on the assumption that the demand is highly price-elastic and that new products and services are diffused above all through price reductions. The article seeks to demonstrate that more complex theories of diffusion are required to understand the effects of ICTs, since they constitute a technical revolution. Technical revolutions give rise to fundamental changes in social institutions and new paradigms, for example on work organisation, are required.
