description: A study of anomalous couplings of the Higgs boson to vector bosons and fermions is presented. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of pp collisions at the LHC of 13 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. The study uses Higgs boson candidates produced mainly in gluon fusion or electroweak vector boson fusion at the LHC that subsequently decay to a pair of $\tau$ leptons. Matrix-element and machine-learning techniques were employed in a search for anomalous interactions. The results are combined with those from the four-lepton and two-photon decay channels to yield the most stringent constraints on anomalous Higgs boson couplings to date. The pure $CP$-odd scenario of the Higgs boson coupling to gluons is excluded at 2.4 standard deviations. The results are consistent with the standard model predictions.

description: The most accurate method to combine measurement from different experiments is to build a combined likelihood function and use it to perform the desired inference. This is not always possible for various reasons, hence approximate methods are often convenient. Among those, the best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE) is the most popular, allowing to take into account individual uncertainties and their correlations. The method is unbiased by construction if the true uncertainties and their correlations are known, but it may exhibit a bias if uncertainty estimates are used in place of the true ones, in particular if those estimated uncertainties depend on measured values. In those cases, an iterative application of the BLUE method may reduce the bias of the combined measurement.

description: Nowadays, cars offer many possibilities to explore the world around you by providing location-based information displayed on a 2D-Map. However, this information is often only available to front-seat passengers while being restricted to in-car displays. To propose a more natural way of interacting with the environment, we implemented an augmented reality head-mounted display to overlay points of interest onto the real world. We aim to compare multiple selection techniques for digital objects located outside a moving car by investigating head gaze with dwell time, head gaze with hardware button, eye gaze with hardware button, and hand pointing with gesture confirmation. Our study was conducted in a moving car under real-world conditions (N=22), with significant results indicating that hand pointing usage led to slower and less precise content selection while eye gaze was preferred by participants and performed on par with the other techniques.

description: Σε αυτήν την εργασία εξετάζονται επιλεκτικά πτυχές της ισλαμικής τέχνης που αφορούν κυρίως τα μουσουλμανικά μνημεία της Θεσσαλονίκης και τον θρησκευτικό συμβολισμό που αναδύουν. Το ισλαμικό στιλ αρχιτεκτονικής δεν χρησιμοποιείται μόνο σε τζαμιά, αλλά και σε ισλαμικά κτίρια – δημόσια και ιδιωτικά – ακόμη και σε κήπους. Η αρχιτεκτονική περιλαμβάνει τόσο κοσμικά όσο και θρησκευτικά καλλιτεχνικά στοιχεία. Ο στόχος αυτής της μελέτης είναι να προσαρμόσει – κατά το δυνατόν – την έννοια της ισλαμικής τέχνης και αρχιτεκτονικής μέσω της ανάλυσης των μνημείων που αυτή κατέλειπε στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Επίσης, η μελέτη εξετάζει τους διάφορους τύπους ισλαμικής αρχιτεκτονικής των μνημείων και πραγματοποιεί μια συνοπτική σημειωτική ανάλυση αυτών των έργων. Η εργασία αυτή καθορίζει την έννοια και το πεδίο της συμβολικής ισλαμικής αρχιτεκτονικής. Τονίζει τις ιδιότητες και τα χαρακτηριστικά που την καθιστούν μοναδική και διακριτή από άλλες μορφές αρχιτεκτονικής. Εξετάζει τις έννοιες και τα χαρακτηριστικά των κατασκευών και διερευνά τα διακοσμητικά στυλ που χρησιμοποιούνται. Τα ευρήματα δείχνουν ότι τα πιο κοινά τυπολογικά στοιχεία στη μουσουλμανική τέχνη είναι η καλλιγραφία, η γεωμετρία και τα σχέδια των λουλουδιών. Η μελέτη διαπίστωσε, επίσης, ότι η ισλαμική αρχιτεκτονική περιλαμβάνει τόσο κοσμικές όσο και θρησκευτικές καλλιτεχνικές μορφές και έχει επιρροή στον σχεδιασμό, την κατασκευή και τη διακόσμηση κτιρίων από άλλους πολιτισμούς, τόσο κατά τους αρχαίους χρόνους, όσο και σήμερα.
description: This work selectively examines aspects of Islamic art that mainly concern the Muslim monuments of Thessaloniki and the religious symbolism that emerges. The Islamic style of architecture is used not only in mosques, but also in other Islamic buildings – public and private – even in gardens. The architecture includes both secular and religious artistic elements. The aim of this study is to adapt – as much as possible – the concept of Islamic art and architecture through the analysis of the monuments that it left in Thessaloniki. The study also examines the different types of Islamic architecture of the monuments and makes a brief semiotic analysis of these works. This work defines the meaning and scope of symbolic Islamic architecture. Emphasizes the properties and characteristics that make it unique and distinct from other forms of architecture. Examines the concepts and the features of constructions and explores the decorative styles used. The findings show that the most common typological elements in Muslim art are calligraphy, geometry and flower designs. The study also found that Islamic architecture incorporates both secular and religious art forms and influences the design, construction and decoration of buildings from other cultures, both in ancient times and today.

description: „Of the many odd and various things we believe, few are believed more confidently than the truths of simple mathematics. When asked for an example of a thoroughly dependable fact, many will turn from common sense – ‘after all, they used to think humans could’nt fly’ – from science – ‘the sun has risen every day so far, but it might fail us tomorrow ’ – to the security of arithmetic – ‘but 2 plus 2 is surely 4’. “ (Maddy 1990, S. 1) Die Mathematik gilt als Musterbeispiel für logische Stringenz und lückenlose Beweisführung. Mathematische Sätze haben, sobald sie einmal bewiesen sind, den Ruf unumstößlicher Wahrheiten, an denen niemand mehr zweifeln kann. Aus fachlicher Sicht führt jede mathematisch-logische Argumentationskette irgendwann zu Aussagen, die in einer mathematischen Theorie nicht weiter bewiesen werden (können), den sogenannten Axiomen. Von ihnen ausgehend stellt sich die Mathematik als eine deduktive Wissenschaft dar, die allein auf Grundlage der Axiome mit logischen Schlüssen die Richtigkeit ihrer Aussagen sichert. Den Ausführungen in diesem Artikel liegt die Prämisse zu Grunde, dass das axiomatische Arbeiten „ein zu wichtiger Bestandteil des mathematischen Denkens [ist], als daß wir es den Schülern vorenthalten dürften“ (Lehmann 1979, S. 120). Es ist nach Ansicht des Autors heutzutage durchaus noch möglich, in sinnvoller Weise Axiomatik an der Schule zu betreiben. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine Unterrichtsreihe zu Andrei Kolmogoroffs Axiomen der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung für Zusatzkurse der Sekundarstufe II entwickelt, die in diesem Artikel vorgestellt wird. Ferner werden erste Ergebnisse einer qualitativen empirischen Pilotstudie über Schülervorstellungen zu diesem Thema präsentiert.

description: We consider quantum scattering of particles in media exhibiting strong dispersion degeneracy. In particular, we study flat-banded lattices and linearly dispersed energy bands. The former constitute a prime example of single-particle frustration while the latter show degeneracy at the few- and many-particle level. We investigate both impurity and two-body scattering and show that, quite generally, scattering does not occur, which we relate to the fact that transition matrices vanish on the energy shell. We prove that scattering is instead replaced by projections onto band-projected eigenstates of the interaction potential. We then use the general results to obtain localised flat band states that are eigenstates of impurity potentials with vanishing eigenvalues in one-dimensional flat bands and study the particular case of a sawtooth lattice. We also uncover the relation between certain solutions of one-dimensional systems that have been categorised as "strange", and the scattering states in linearly dispersed continuum systems.

description: We develop a semidefinite programming method for the optimization of quantum networks, including both causal networks and networks with indefinite causal structure. Our method applies to a broad class of performance measures, defined operationally in terms of interactive tests set up by a verifier. We show that the optimal performance is equal to a max relative entropy, which quantifies the informativeness of the test. Building on this result, we extend the notion of conditional min-entropy from quantum states to quantum causal networks. The optimization method is illustrated in a number of applications, including the inversion, charge conjugation, and controlization of an unknown unitary dynamics. In the non-causal setting, we show a proof-of-principle application to the maximization of the winning probability in a non-causal quantum game.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2009

description: Students in higher institutions are exposed to many psychosocial problems and risky sexual behaviors as they are away from their parents and possibly due to suboptimal counseling services. The problems may be more apparent in newly established universities. Despite this concern, there is no information regarding the psychosocial health status and risky sexual behaviors of students in higher learning institutions in Ethiopia. The study aimed to assess and compare the magnitude of risky sexual behaviors and psychosocial ill health among students of newly established and old universities. The study employed a comparative cross-sectional survey supplemented with qualitative methods. Cluster sampling technique was used to select the departments after dividing the total sample size proportionally to first year and second year students. A total of 1033 students were included in this study: 518 from DBU and 515 from AAU. Quantitative data were processed in SPSS v.13.00 statistical software. Ethical clearance was obtained from ethical review committee of the school of public health and institutional review board at Medical Faculty of Addis Ababa University. Taped qualitative data were transcribed, translated into English, and manually analyzed by grouping into predetermined thematic areas. The response rate was 97.4%. The results indicate that significantly more students of DBU than AAU [(24.7%) versus 69(13.4%)] were likely to have had sexual intercourse [P<0.001]. More students of AAU than DBU used condom in their last sexual intercourse [40(60.6%) versus 21(22.8 %); AOR (95%CI) = 7.08 (3.00, 16.71)]. Students at DBU were significantly more likely to have multiple se xual partners than AAU students [75(78.2%) versus 42(62.7%): COR (95%CI)= 2.13(1.06,4.24)]. More students of DBU than AAU [64.9% versus 50.9 % ; AOR(95%CI)=0.60(0.45,0.8 0)]were found to have sad feelings. More students of DBU than AAU [69 (13.4%) versus 47(9.14%); O R (95%CI) =1.50 (1.03,2.27)] seriously considered suicide. In addition, more students who had psychos ocial ill health had multiple sexual partner [ 82(70.1%) versus 35(29.9%); COR(95%CI) = 1.82(1.20,2.75)]. Overall the findings indicate that substantial segment of the student population in both viii universities have risky sexual behavior and psychosocial problems. This calls for strengthened effort to expand the existing and initiate additional preventive measures. In both universities, proper orientation is crucially important especially when students first join the university. Preventive activities for HIV/AIDS like condom distribution, providing health information about HIV are urgently needed at DBU. In addition, mechanisms for economic support (for example loan service) should be arranged to the needy students in both universities.

description: This study aims to look into the text history of 1 Thessalonians and more particularly the Byzantine text tradition and its development in the 9th and 10th centuries. For this purpose, the second chapter of Paul’s letter was selected as a case study. In the introductory part, basic information about New Testament textual criticism and the history of the so–called Byzantine text is provided. Then the variations attested in manuscript tradition regarding 1 Thess 2 are evaluated and analyzed based on external and internal evidence. 50 manuscripts mainly dated to the 9th and 10th centuries as well as the patristic citations of 1 Thess 2 are thoroughly studied and systematically presented. The study concludes with some interesting remarks regarding 1) relations and/or deviations from the previous tradition that may lead to a different understanding of the text and 2) different Byzantine variations within the Byzantine text tradition.

description: Complex inner-city junctions are among the most critical traffic areas for injury and fatal accidents. The development of highly automated driving (HAD) systems struggles with the complex and hectic everyday life within those areas. Sensor-equipped smart infrastructures, which can communicate and cooperate with vehicles, are essential to enable a holistic scene understanding to resolve occlusions drivers and vehicle perception systems for themselves can not cover. We introduce an intelligent research infrastructure equipped with visual sensor technology, located at a public inner-city junction in Aschaffenburg, Germany. A multiple-view camera system monitors the traffic situation to perceive road users' behavior. Both motorized and non-motorized traffic is considered. The system is used for research in data generation, evaluating new HAD sensors systems, algorithms, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) training strategies using real-, synthetic- and augmented data. In addition, the junction features a highly accurate digital twin. Real-world data can be taken into the digital twin for simulation purposes and synthetic data generation.

description: Western Ghats are one of the hottest hotspots of the world situated in the southern part of India. Among all the hotspots of the country, Western Ghat is a unique landscape attributed to their position parallel to the western coast of southern India facing the monsoon winds, results in abundant rainfall to the region. This discontinuous mountain landscape of Western Ghats, extending from the Tapti River in Gujarat to the southern tip of India, accommodates a rich diversity of species. The maximum diversity and endemism within the Western Ghats are concentrated in the small pockets of unique ecosystems scattered throughout the range, such as freshwater swamps and sholas.

            The hilltops of the Western Ghats are home to enchanting, fantasy-like landscapes called sholas. Cool, moisture-laden fog in the air, sparkling dew adorns the grasses and vegetation, while short-stature trees are draped in spongy epiphytic mosses. Even in daylight, the complete cloud cover in the landscape and scenic view of rolling grasslands with the mosaic of short-stature vegetation mark the absolute art of nature.

description: Direct imaging of exoplanets by reflected starlight is extremely challenging due to the large luminosity ratio to the primary star. Wave-front control is a critical technique to attenuate the speckle noise in order to achieve an extremely high contrast. We present a phase quantization study of a spatial light modulator for wave front control to meet the contrast requirement of detection of a terrestrial planet in the habitable zone of a solar-type star. We perform the numerical simulation by employing the SLM with different phase accuracy and actuator numbers, which are related to the achievable contrast. We use an optimization algorithm to solve the quantization problems that is matched to the controllable phase step of the SLM. Two optical configurations are discussed with the SLM located before and after the coronagraph focal plane mask. The simulation result has constrained the specification for SLM phase accuracy in the above two optical configurations. Finally, we have demonstrated that a SLM with more actuators can deliver a competitive contrast performance to that by using a deformable mirror.

description: Automatic examination of thin-prep cytologic test (TCT) slides can assist pathologists in finding cervical abnormality for accurate and efficient cancer screening. Current solutions mostly need to localize suspicious cells and classify abnormality based on local patches, concerning the fact that whole slide images of TCT are extremely large. It thus requires many annotations of normal and abnormal cervical cells, to supervise the training of the patch-level classifier for promising performance. In this paper, we propose CellGAN to synthesize cytopathological images of various cervical cell types for augmenting patch-level cell classification. Built upon a lightweight backbone, CellGAN is equipped with a non-linear class mapping network to effectively incorporate cell type information into image generation. We also propose the Skip-layer Global Context module to model the complex spatial relationship of the cells, and attain high fidelity of the synthesized images through adversarial learning. Our experiments demonstrate that CellGAN can produce visually plausible TCT cytopathological images for different cell types. We also validate the effectiveness of using CellGAN to greatly augment patch-level cell classification performance.

description: Crohn’s Disease (CD) is a chronic immune-mediated disorder with progressive and destructive course. Current guidelines on the treatment strategy still recommend a step-up approach with sequential prescription of corticosteroids and immunosuppressives. However, mounting evidences manifested that top-down therapy with early administration of anti-TNF or combination of immunosuppressives can achieve more rapid and higher rate of mucosal healing and has the potential of modifying the natural course of disease. Therefore, who is suitable to accept and when to start anti-TNF therapy have attracted the attention of astroenterologists. And what benefit/risk can be expected from the two strategies should be carefully taken into account by clinicians. Age stratification, special patients, disease location and extension, genetic and serologic testing are predictors of disease progression and complication and thus guide a personalized treatment approach in CD. A definition of early CD has been proposed to select an algorithm for treatment of moderate-to-severe CD with a suitable strategy. To date mucosal healing has been widely used, the Lémann score, which assesses the extent and severity of bowel damage at a specific time-point and over time, and is a new disability index for patients with CD, will be considered as a new endpoint for future studies of treatment strategies. Besides medicines of the two strategies, surgery, vaccine, Leukocytapheresis and stem cell therapy are all effective therapeutic approaches which lead to another thinking about what should they be putted in the conditional pyramid. However, we are trying to answer these questions.

Creators: name: Mehari, Woinshet
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019

description: Introduction Maternal satisfaction used as one evaluating tool for quality of maternal health care given in health facilities and help to improve quality of care given to delivery mothers as well as decrease maternal mortality. Objectives: This study aimed to assess level of maternal satisfaction on delivery service and its associated factor among women who gave birth in selected public health center in Addis Ababa city Administration. Methods: A facility based cross sectional study was conducted from March to April 2019 in Addis Ababa city. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select 582 mothers who gave birth within the study period. The satisfaction of mothers was measured using 27 questions that were adopted from Donabedian quality assessment framework. Multivariate logistic regression was fitted to identify independent predictors of maternal satisfaction. Result: The overall satisfaction on delivery service of the respondent mothers was 89.7%. Process related delivery mothers' satisfaction was 94.5%, whereas mothers' satisfaction in relation to structure of the health centers was 68.6%. There was no significant predictor for process based delivery services. For structural bases, educational status (AOR 95% CI: 1.96(1.112-3.45), type of transport (AOR 95% CI: 0.39(0.19, 0.78), time of admission from 6am12am (AOR 95% CI: 2.142(1.16-3.94), status of pregnancy (AOR 95% CI: 2.34(1.16, 4.69) and long waiting time (AOR 95% CI: 0.426(0.27, 0.66) were significant factors for delivery mothers' satisfaction. However, short waiting time (AOR 95% CI: 6.07 (2.1-17.15), wanted pregnancy (AOR 95% CI: 3.98(1.60-9.90) and time of admission from 6am-12am (AOR 95% CI 3.26(1.023-10.38) and from 0 pm-6pm (AOR 95% CI 2.56(1.077-6.09) were factors that had positive association for overall delivered mothers' satisfaction. Conclusion: This study revealed that the overall satisfaction of mothers on delivery service was found to be good. Wanted pregnancy; waiting time and time of admission were independent predictors of maternal satisfaction. Thus, there is a need of an intervention on shortening waiting time, provide good service during night time and increase access and awareness of family planning mothers to reduce and prevent unplanned pregnancy.

description: We present sensitive (rms-noises $\sim$ 4 -- 25 $μ$Jy) and high angular resolution ($\sim$1--2$"$) 8.9 GHz (3.3 cm) Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) radio continuum observations of 10 presumed transitional disks associated with young low-mass stars. We report the detection of radio continuum emission in 5 out of the 10 objects (RXJ1615, UX Tau A, LkCa15, RXJ1633, and SR24s). In the case of LkCa15, the centimeter emission is extended, and has a similar morphology to that of the transitional disk observed at mm wavelengths with an inner depression. For these five detections, we construct the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) from the centimeter to submillimeter wavelengths, and find that they can be well fitted with a single (RXJ 1633 and UX Tau A) or a two component power-law (LkCa 15, RXJ 1615, and SR24s). For the cases where a single power-law fits well the data, the centimeter emission is likely produced by optically thin dust with large grains i.e. centimeter-size pebbles) present in the transitional disks. For the cases where a double power-law fits the data, the centimeter emission might be produced by the combination of photoevaporation and/or a free-free jet. We conclude that RXJ1633 and UX Tau A are excellent examples of transitional disks where the structure of the emission from centimeter/millimeter pebbles can be studied. In the other cases, some other physical emitting mechanisms are also important in the centimeter regime.

description: We investigate the autonomous control of gravity-assist hyperbolic trajectories using a path following control law based on sliding mode control theory. This control strategy ensures robustness to bounded disturbances. Monte Carlo simulations in the environments of Titan and Enceladus, considering significant insertion errors on the order of 50 km, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The Enceladus example showcases the applicability of the control strategy for close flybys of asteroids and small moons during scientific observations. It successfully stabilizes the orbital geometry within a short time span, avoiding collisions and enabling a close approach to Enceladus' surface with a separation distance of 10 km. Furthermore, we explore its application in a Jovian tour, considering a more complex N-body problem. Results indicate that the control system, while unable to guarantee a complete tour, plays a crucial role in ensuring precise trajectory control during flybys. In such cases, the vehicle guidance system requires higher precision than what can be achieved with a patched conics model. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy for gravity-assist maneuvers and highlight its potential for various space exploration missions involving close encounters with celestial bodies.

description: The topological phase transition is theoretically studied in a metallic single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) by applying a magnetic field $B$ parallel to the tube. The $\mathbb{Z}$ topological invariant, winding number, is changed discontinuously when a small band gap is closed at a critical value of $B$, which can be observed as a change in the number of edge states owing to the bulk-edge correspondence. This is confirmed by numerical calculations for finite SWNTs of $\sim$ 1 $μ$m length, using a one-dimensional lattice model to effectively describe the mixing between $σ$ and $π$ orbitals and spin-orbit interaction, which are relevant to the formation of the band gap in metallic SWNTs.

description: Moringa Oleifera ist eine Pflanze der Subtropen und hat bereits mehrfach in verschiedenen Studien ihre antikanzerogene Wirkung unter Beweis gestellt. In dieser Arbeit wurde der Einfluss eines Moringablattextraktes auf das Wachstumsverhalten von Endometriumkarzinomzellen untersucht. Als Zelllinien dienten Ishikawa und RL95-2. Der Moringa-Extrakt zeigte in allen durchgeführten Zelltesten eindeutige antitumorale Eigenschaften, zum Teil statistisch signifikant. Quercetin, ein Inhaltsstoff von Moringa, könnte für diese Wirkung verantwortlich sein. Der genaue Wirkmechanismus bleibt zu ergründen.

description: We analyze plasma heating in weakly collisional kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) turbulence using high resolution gyrokinetic simulations spanning the range of scales between the ion and the electron gyroradii. Real space structures that have a higher than average heating rate are shown not to be confined to current sheets. This novel result is at odds with previous studies, which use the electromagnetic work in the local electron fluid frame, i.e. $\mathbf{J} \!\cdot\! (\mathbf{E} + \mathbf{v}_e\times\mathbf{B})$, as a proxy for turbulent dissipation to argue that heating follows the intermittent spatial structure of the electric current. Furthermore, we show that electrons are dominated by parallel heating while the ions prefer the perpendicular heating route. We comment on the implications of the results presented here.
