description: Bioprospecting of microalgae (food, feed, fertilizers, fuel, pigments, fiber, bioremediator and neutraceuticals) are a latest promising industry because of their high photosynthetic efficiency. Microalgae prospects are under limelight not only for its value added applications but also for no competition with food, water and arable land usage. However, the product is still costlier when compared to other organisms which obstruct large-scale phycoprospecting. Indigenous microalgae can improve phycoprospecting and it is on high demand. There is a need to isolate and identify the potential native microalgae for local application with ease, besides biodiversity in Ethiopia is intense and not investigated much on microalgae. Therefore in this research, focused to isolate microalgae from eight different sites in Ethiopia (Akaki pond, Akaki river, Kality pond, Kality Gidb pond, Tuludimtu ditch, Awash lake, Koka lake and Sumit Ditch) and inoculated in Bold’s Basal medium and incubated under natural Sun light at 25°C for 15 days. Then microalgae were purified using agar plate and identified morphologically using light microscope. We identified 18 species from 12 genera namely, Pediastrum sp., Chlorella sp., Chlamydomonas sp., Scenedesmus sp., Chlorogonium sp., Oscillatoria sp., Anabaena sp., Microcystis sp., Microspora sp., Closterium sp., Synechocystis sp., and Navicula sp. Among these, 8 genera belong to eukaryotic protist and other 4 comes under prokaryotic cyanobacteria. Further analysis on its molecular identification and potential applications are under process. These Ethiopian native species of microalgae can be used effectively for its value added application locally.

description: We study the effects of mass and energy injection due to OB associations spread across the rotating disc of a Milky Way-type galaxy, with the help of 3D hydrodynamic simulations. We compare the resulting X-ray emission with that produced from the injection of mass and energy from a central region. We find that the predicted X-ray image shows a filamentary structure that arises even in the absence of disc gas inhomogeneity. This structure stems from warm clumps made of disc material being lifted by the injected gas. We show that as much as half of the total X-ray emission comes from regions surrounding warm clumps that are made of a mix of disk and injected gas. This scenario has the potential to explain the origin of the observed extra-planar X-ray emission around star forming galaxies and can be used to understand the observed sublinear relation between the $L_X$ and SFR. We quantify the mass contained in these `bow-shock' regions. We also show that the top-most region of the outer shock above the central area emits harder X-rays than the rest. Further, we find that the mass distribution in different temperature ranges is bimodal, peaking at $10^4\hbox{-}10^5$ K (in warm clumps) and $10^6\hbox{-}10^7$ K (X-ray emitting gas). The mass loading factor is found to decrease with increasing SFR, consistent with previous theoretical estimates and simulations.

description: We study the photon induced Lambda(1520) production in the effective Lagrangian method near threshold, E_γ^{LAB}<2 GeV, and in the quark-gluon string model at higher energies 3 GeV < E_γ^{LAB} < 5 GeV. In particular, we study the role of the K^* exchange for the production of Lambda(1520) within the SU(6) Weinberg-Tomozowa chiral unitary model proposed in Phys. Rev. D74 (2006) 034025. The coupling of the Lambda(1520) resonance to the N \bar K^* pair, which is dynamically generated, turns out to be relatively small and, thus, the K exchange mechanism dominates the reaction. In the higher energy region, where experimental data are available, the quark-gluon string mechanism with the K Regge trajectory reproduces both the energy and the angular distribution dependences of the Lambda(1520) photo-production reaction.

Publisher: name: Ethiopian Journal of Sciences and Sustainable Development
Year: 2019

description: The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived factors that hinder mobile banking adoption by using a survey data and forecast its adoption rate using a secondary data from the National Bank of Ethiopia. The survey data was collected randomly from 100 respondents who have bank account and visits the bank in March 2018 and the secondary data time span was from 2010 to 2018. To realize the objective, the study adopts innovation diffusion theory and structural equation modelling for adoption. The study result reveals that, the perceived relative advantage of mobile banking, the perceived complexity of mobile banking usage, observability, trialability, perceived analog complement and trust on provider of mobile banking services, are found to be significant in influencing the decision to adopt mobile banking technology in Ethiopia. In addition, the forecasted cumulative mobile banking users for the coming seven years i.e. by 2025 will be 2.3 million users with 1.27% penetration rate. Some of the policy implications are that; banks (both public plus private) has to promote and create awareness via explaining relative advantage of mobile banking adoption compared to other banking channels, create trust building campaign on mobile banking providers, improves analog complement such as mobile phone service language, and other regulations. Lastly, the concerned body such as banking industry shall provide some incentive which favor mobile banking adoption, at least up to some minimum threshold level, which can sustain adoption rate and increase banking service inclusion for those who are traditionally banked and unbanked.

description: It is a long and tedious process to isolate pure, pharmacologically active constituents from plants Flavonoids are pharmacologically active constituents cannot be synthesized by humans. This study was aimed to partially purify favonoids from some selected citrus fruit peels, to determine flavonoid contents and to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity of the extracts. Purification was carried out using silica gel column chromatographic techniques. Flavonoid contents were determined by colorimetric aluminum chloride. In vitro antioxidant properties were investigated by DPPH and Nitric Oxide radical scavenging, and reducing power activity assay. Lemon peel’s extract showed significantly the highest total flavonoid contents (9.57 ± 0.38). Orange peel’s extract showed the significantly the lowest flavonoid content (3.7 ± 0.45). Lemon peel’s extract showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging (75.60 ± 2.38%) at 100 µg/ml. Orange peel’s extract showed the highest Nitric oxide Scavenging(88.32± 1.37%) at 1000 µg/ml and reducing power (0.45 ± 0.5%) at 800µg/ml. A strong correlation between citrus fruit peel extracts and antioxidant activity was failed to demonstrate by regression analysis. In Conclusion, antioxidant activity of citrus fruit peels’ flavonoid was confirmed and antioxidant potential of the peels were not depend on the concentration of flavonoids.

description: Torsion represents the most natural extension of General Relativity and it attracted interest over the years in view of its link with fundamental properties of particle motion. The bulk of the approaches concerning the torsion dynamics focus their attention on their geometrical nature and they are naturally led to formulate a non-propagating theory. Here we review two different paradigms to describe the role of the torsion field, as far as a propagating feature of the resulting dynamics is concerned. However, these two proposals deal with different pictures, i.e., a macroscopic approach, based on the construction of suitable potentials for the torsion field, and a microscopic approach, which relies on the identification of torsion with the gauge field associated with the local Lorentz symmetry. We analyze in some detail both points of view and their implications on the coupling between torsion and matter will be investigated. In particular, in the macroscopic case, we analyze the test-particle motion to fix the physical trajectory, while, in the microscopic approach, a natural coupling between torsion and the spin momentum of matter fields arises.

description: It is shown that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the triple cone. More generally if $κ$ is a cardinal such that $2 \leq κ\leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ then the $κ$-fold cone has the same fundamental group as the double cone. The isomorphisms produced are non-constructive, and no isomorphism between the fundamental group of the $2$- and of the $κ$-fold cones, with $2 < κ$, can be realized via continuous mappings. We also prove a conjecture of James W. Cannon and Gregory R. Conner which states that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the harmonic archipelago.

description: In this report we review the present state of the art of the control of propagating quantum states at the single-electron level and its potential application to quantum information processing. We give an overview of the different approaches which have been developed over the last ten years in order to gain full control over a propagating single electron in a solid state system. After a brief introduction of the basic concepts, we present experiments on flying qubit circuits for ensemble of electrons measured in the low frequency (DC) limit. We then present the basic ingredients necessary to realise such experiments at the single-electron level. This includes a review of the various single electron sources which are compatible with integrated single electron circuits. This is followed by a review of recent key experiments on electron quantum optics with single electrons. Finally we will present recent developments about the new physics that emerges using ultrashort voltage pulses. We conclude our review with an outlook and future challenges in the field.

Out of Bounds: Exploring the Response to Professional Athletes’ Support for BLM on Twitter
Creators: name: Prem, Sabrina Rose
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2021

description: The purpose of this research project is to explore the ways that audiences respond to professional athletes using Twitter to support the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. Athletes and their relevant associations and leagues turned into powerful social media influencers of opinions and action that led to political and institutional turbulence and crisis. This research paper investigates how audiences choose to accept or reject the messages that professional athletes post on Twitter, and how this affects their support for the movement. For this end, I will be conducting semi-structured interviews to discover how audiences respond to professional athletes using Twitter to advocate for BLM. I expect to find out that most people will have a mixed opinion on this specific Twitter use, while others will have opposite or polarized opinions

description: Charged-current anti-neutrino interactions on hydrocarbon scintillator in the MINERvA detector are used to study activity from their final-state neutrons. To ensure that most of the neutrons are from the primary interaction, rather than hadronic reinteractions in the detector, the sample is limited to momentum transfers below 0.8 GeV/c. From 16,129 interactions, 15,246 neutral particle candidates are observed. The reference simulation predicts 64\% of these candidates are due to neutrons from the anti-neutrino interaction directly, but also overpredicts the number of candidates by 15\% overall, which is beyond the standard uncertainty estimates for models of neutrino interactions and neutron propagation in the detector. Using the measured distributions for energy deposition, time of flight, position, and speed, we explore the sensitivity to the details those two aspects of the models. We also use multiplicity distributions to evaluate the presence of a two-nucleon knockout process. These results provide critical new information toward a complete description of the hadronic final state of neutrino interactions, which is vital to neutrino oscillation experiments.

description: Development of novel materials may often require a rational use of high price components, like noble metals, in combination with the possibility to tune their properties in a desirable way. Here we present a theoretical DFT study of Au and Pd single atoms supported by doped MgO(001). By introducing B, C and N impurities into the MgO(001) surface, the interaction between the surface and the supported metal adatoms can be adjusted. Impurity atoms act as strong binding sites for Au and Pd adatoms and can help to produce highly dispersed metal particles. The reactivity of metal atoms supported by doped MgO(001), as probed by CO, is altered compared to their counterparts on pristine MgO(001). We find that Pd atoms on doped MgO(001) are less reactive than on perfect MgO(001). In contrast, Au adatoms bind CO much stronger when placed on doped MgO(001). In the case of Au on N-doped MgO(001) we find that charge redistribution between the metal atom and impurity takes place even when not in direct contact, which enhances the interaction of Au with CO. The presented results suggest possible ways for optimizing the reactivity of oxide supported metal catalysts through impurity engineering.

description: In a non-cooperative game, players do not communicate with each other. Their only feedback is the payoff they receive resulting from the strategies they execute. It is important to note that within each level set of the total payoff function the payoff to each player is unchanging, and therefore understanding the structure of these level sets plays a key role in understanding non-cooperative games. This note, intended for both experts and non-experts, not only introduces non-cooperative game theory but also shows its fundamental connection to real algebraic geometry. We prove here a general result about the structure of the level sets, which although likely to be known by experts, has interesting implications, including our recent application to provide a new mathematical explanation for the "paradox of the plankton." We hope to encourage communication between these interrelated areas and stimulate further work in similar directions.

description: We develop an explicit two level system that allows programmers to reason about the behavior of effectful programs. The first level is an ordinary ML-style type system, which confers standard properties on program behavior. The second level is a conservative extension of the first that uses a logic of type refinements to check more precise properties of program behavior. Our logic is a fragment of intuitionistic linear logic, which gives programmers the ability to reason locally about changes of program state. We provide a generic resource semantics for our logic as well as a sound, decidable, syntactic refinement-checking system. We also prove that refinements give rise to an optimization principle for programs. Finally, we illustrate the power of our system through a number of examples.

description: Precision cancer medicine aims to determine the optimal treatment for each patient. In-vitro cancer drug sensitivity screens combined with multi-omics characterization of the cancer cells have become an important tool to achieve this aim. Analyzing such pharmacogenomic studies requires flexible and efficient joint statistical models for associating drug sensitivity with high-dimensional multi-omics data. We propose a multivariate Bayesian structured variable selection model for sparse identification of omics features associated with multiple correlated drug responses. Since many anti-cancer drugs are designed for specific molecular targets, our approach makes use of known structure between responses and predictors, e.g. molecular pathways and related omics features targeted by specific drugs, via a Markov random field (MRF) prior for the latent indicator variables of the coefficients in sparse seemingly unrelated regression. The structure information included in the MRF prior can improve the model performance, i.e. variable selection and response prediction, compared to other common priors. In addition, we employ random effects to capture heterogeneity between cancer types in a pan-cancer setting. The proposed approach is validated by simulation studies and applied to the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer data, which includes pharmacological profiling and multi-omics characterization of a large set of heterogeneous cell lines.

description: Unitary decomposition is a widely used method to map quantum algorithms to an arbitrary set of quantum gates. Efficient implementation of this decomposition allows for translation of bigger unitary gates into elementary quantum operations, which is key to executing these algorithms on existing quantum computers. The decomposition can be used as an aggressive optimization method for the whole circuit, as well as to test part of an algorithm on a quantum accelerator. For selection and implementation of the decomposition algorithm, perfect qubits are assumed. We base our decomposition technique on Quantum Shannon Decomposition which generates O((3/4)*4^n) controlled-not gates for an n-qubit input gate. The resulting circuits are up to 10 times shorter than other methods in the field. When comparing our implementation to Qubiter, we show that our implementation generates circuits with half the number of CNOT gates and a third of the total circuit length. In addition to that, it is also up to 10 times as fast. Further optimizations are proposed to take advantage of potential underlying structure in the input or intermediate matrices, as well as to minimize the execution time of the decomposition.

description: We represent minimal upper gradients of Newtonian functions, in the range $1\le p<\infty$, by maximal directional derivatives along "generic" curves passing through a given point, using plan-modulus duality and disintegration techniques. As an application we introduce the notion of $p$-weak charts and prove that every Newtonian function admits a differential with respect to such charts, yielding a linear approximation along $p$-almost every curve. The differential can be computed curvewise, is linear, and satisfies the usual Leibniz and chain rules.
 The arising $p$-weak differentiable structure exists for spaces with finite Hausdorff dimension and agrees with Cheeger's structure in the presence of a Poincaré inequality. It is moreover compatible with, and gives a geometric interpretation of, Gigli's abstract differentiable structure, whenever it exists. The $p$-weak charts give rise to a finite dimensional $p$-weak cotangent bundle and pointwise norm, which recovers the minimal upper gradient of Newtonian functions and can be computed by a maximization process over generic curves. As a result we obtain new proofs of reflexivity and density of Lipschitz functions in Newtonian spaces, as well as a characterization of infinitesimal Hilbertianity in terms of the pointwise norm.

Logarithmic M(2,p) Minimal Models, their Logarithmic Couplings, and Duality

description: A natural construction of the logarithmic extension of the M(2,p) minimal models is presented, which generalises our previous model [0708.0802] of percolation (p=3). Its key aspect is the replacement of the minimal model irreducible modules by reducible ones obtained by requiring that only one of the two principal singular vectors of each module vanish. The resulting theory is then constructed systematically by repeatedly fusing these building block representations. This generates indecomposable representations of the type which signify the presence of logarithmic partner fields in the theory. The basic data characterising these indecomposable modules, the logarithmic couplings, are computed for many special cases and given a new structural interpretation. Quite remarkably, a number of them are presented in closed analytic form (for general p). These are the prime examples of ``gauge-invariant'' data - quantities independent of the ambiguities present in defining the logarithmic partner fields. Finally, mere global conformal invariance is shown to enforce strong constraints on the allowed spectrum: It is not possible to include modules other than those generated by the fusion of the model's building blocks. This generalises the statement that there cannot exist two effective central charges in a c=0 model. It also suggests the existence of a second ``dual'' logarithmic theory for each p. Such dual models are briefly discussed.

description: En nuestro ordenamiento jurídico se considera que una de las herramientas para asegurar la Constitución como norma superior (La Constitución es norma de normas) y mantener la paz en la sociedad, es otorgarle a todos los ciudadanos la posibilidad de demandar cuando consideren que una norma es contraria a la Constitución. Esta acción se conoce como acción pública de inconstitucionalidad, que la Corte Constitucional entiende como “un mecanismo jurisdiccional constitucional de carácter público”. El uso de esta acción ha aumentado progresivamente desde 1991 hasta llegar en septiembre de 2022 a 14.993, lo que nos puede llevar a afirmar que si entendemos el control de constitucionalidad como un diálogo público, este es cada vez mayor.

description: We investigate the Cauchy problem and the diffusion asymptotics for a spatially inhomogeneous kinetic model associated to a nonlinear Fokker-Planck operator. We derive the global well-posedness result with instantaneous smoothness effect, when the initial data lies below a Maxwellian. The proof relies on the hypoelliptic analog of classical parabolic theory, as well as a positivity-spreading result based on the Harnack inequality and barrier function methods. Moreover, the scaled equation leads to the fast diffusion flow under the low field limit. The relative phi-entropy method enables us to see the connection between the overdamped dynamics of the nonlinearly coupled kinetic model and the correlated fast diffusion. The global in time quantitative diffusion asymptotics is then derived by combining entropic hypocoercivity, relative phi-entropy and barrier function methods.

description: The notions of taxis and kinesis are introduced and used to describe two types of behavior of an organism in non-uniform conditions: (i) Taxis means the guided movement to more favorable conditions; (ii) Kinesis is the non-directional change in space motion in response to the change of conditions. Migration and dispersal of animals has evolved under control of natural selection. In a simple formalisation, the strategy of dispersal should increase Darwinian fitness. We introduce new models of purposeful kinesis with diffusion coefficient dependent on fitness. The local and instant evaluation of Darwinian fitness is used, the reproduction coefficient. New models include one additional parameter, intensity of kinesis, and may be considered as the {\em minimal models of purposeful kinesis}. The properties of models are explored by a series of numerical experiments. It is demonstrated how kinesis could be beneficial for assimilation of patches of food or of periodic fluctuations. Kinesis based on local and instant estimations of fitness is not always beneficial: for species with the Allee effect it can delay invasion and spreading. It is proven that kinesis cannot modify stability of positive homogeneous steady states.

description: Geostrophic transport can affect the structure of thewind-driven coastal upwelling/downwelling. Focusing on quantifying this impact is vital to understanding circulation dynamics in the Persian Gulf. To this end, in this study, after the investigation of wind patterns, the temporal and spatial structure of coastal upwelling/downwelling using the Ekman transport upwelling index, and the intra-annual vertical variability of temperature are investigated based on the daily wind, and monthly temperature data time series of 28 years (1993–2020). Then, the geostrophic transport using an improved methodology and the total cross-shore transport as a sum of Ekman and geostrophic transport are estimated based on the monthly SLA data time series. The results indicated that the region, located around 51.5 and 28 (48 and 29 and 50.5 and 25.5) experienced the most intense coastal upwelling (downwelling) at a peak in June with larger mixed and thermocline layers than other regions. The intensity of Ekman transport is higher than the geostrophic transport in the Persian Gulf due to the presence of the prevailing wind and the shallowness of the mixed layers’ depth. We found that the intensity of the coastal upwelling (downwelling) decreases (increases) under favorable spatial and temporal conditions by considering the geostrophic transport in the upwelling index.

description: Time-frequency concentration operators restrict the integral analysis-synthesis formula for the short-time Fourier transform to a given compact domain. We estimate how much the corresponding eigenvalue counting function deviates from the Lebesgue measure of the time-frequency domain. For window functions in the Gelfand-Shilov class, the bounds almost match known asymptotics, with the advantage of being effective for concrete domains and spectral thresholds. As such our estimates allow for applications where the spectral threshold depends on the geometry of the time-frequency concentration domain. We also consider window functions that decay only polynomially in time and frequency.

description: Could there be a large population of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) formed in the early universe? Whether primordial or formed in Population III, these are likely to be very subdominant compared to the dark matter density, but could seed early dwarf galaxy/globular cluster and supermassive black hole formation. Via survival of dark matter density spikes, we show here that a centrally concentrated relic population of IMBHs, along with ambient dark matter, could account for the Fermi gamma-ray "excess" in the Galactic center because of dark matter particle annihilations.
