Creators: name: Beneberu, Netsanet
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Various literatures were used to discussed the concept of consumer purchase intention and to identify variables influencing purchase intention; message appeal ,advertisement source factor and advertisement media are found to be the major predictor of purchase intention for this research . The principal objective of this study was to investigate the influence of advertisement on consumer purchase intention in the case of Addis Ababa beer market. In particular to identify the major variables which affect consumer purchase intention , To determine if the influence differ as the profile of the consumer differ and to identify the variable which poses the strongest impact on consumers purchase intention .So as to address those objective data were collected from consumers of beer who consume beer in hotels, restaurants and groceries from lideta , Kirkos and lifasilk lafto subcities using multistage cluster sampling , for the data collection a structured questionnaire were used. For the data analysis both descriptive and inferential statistics were used using SPSS Version 20. The finding of the study revealed Habesha beer advertisement is chosen as the most influential followed by St. George and Wallia beer advertisement .Among the advertisement factors identified to predict the dependent variable message appeal is found to be the most predictor of the purchase intention followed by the advertisement media, advertisement source factor(endorser) is insignificant predictor of purchase intention and the influence of advertisement among and between differing demographic groups is insignificant.

description: We report the results of a directed search for continuous gravitational-wave emission in a broad frequency range (between 50 and 1000 Hz) from the central compact object of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). The data comes from the sixth science run of LIGO and the search is performed on the volunteer distributed computing network Einstein@Home. We find no significant signal candidate, and set the most constraining upper limits to date on the gravitational-wave emission from Cas A, which beat the indirect age-based upper limit across the entire search range. At around 170 Hz (the most sensitive frequency range), we set 90% confidence upper limits on the gravitational wave amplitude $h_0$ of $\sim\!\!~2.9\times 10^{-25}$, roughly twice as constraining as the upper limits from previous searches on Cas A. The upper limits can also be expressed as constraints on the ellipticity of Cas A; with a few reasonable assumptions, we show that at gravitational-wave frequencies greater than 300~Hz, we can exclude an ellipticity of $\gtrsim\!\!~10^{-5}$.

description: $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(N)$ super-Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{R}^3\times S^1$ is believed to have a smooth dependence on the circle size $L$. Making $L$ small leads to calculable non-perturbative color confinement, mass gap, and string tensions. For finite $N$, the small-$L$ low-energy dynamics is described by a three-dimensional effective theory. The large-$N$ limit, however, reveals surprises: the infrared dual description is in terms of a theory with an emergent fourth dimension, curiously reminiscent of T-duality in string theory. Here, however, the emergent dimension is a lattice, with momenta related to the $S^1$-winding of the gauge field holonomy, which takes values in $\mathbb{Z}_N$. Furthermore, the low-energy description is given by a non-trivial gapless theory, with a space-like $z=2$ Lifshitz scale invariance and operators that pick up anomalous dimensions as $L$ is increased. Supersymmetry-breaking deformations leave the long-distance theory scale-invariant, but change the Lifshitz scaling exponent to $z=1$, and lead to an emergent Lorentz symmetry at small $L$. Adding a small number of fundamental fermion fields leads to matter localized on three-dimensional branes in the emergent four-dimensional theory.

description: It is demonstrated that the Locally Corrected Nystrom (LCN) method is a versatile and numerically efficient computational method for the modeling of scattering from plasmonic bowtie nanoantennas. The LCN method is a high-order analysis method that can provide exponential convergence. It is straightforward to implement, accurate and computationally efficient. To the best of the authors knowledge, the high-order LCN is here applied for the first time to 3D nanostructures. Numerical results show the accuracy and efficiency of the LCN applied to the electromagnetic analysis of nanostructures.

description: To describe hand function, and investigate adherence to a rehabilitation protocol and factors associated with upper extremity disability in non-surgically treated proximal phalangeal fractures. In a prospective cohort study, 86 patients (58 women, mean age of 49 years) were assessed at cast removal and 6 weeks follow-up. Adherence was registered in a diary. Factors potentially associated with disability were assessed in a logistic regression model. At 6 weeks, the mean total active range of motion in the injured finger was 84% of the uninjured finger and median pain intensity levels were low (VAS <20). Mean grip strength was 66% of the uninjured hand and 28% perceived high upper extremity disability (QuickDASH score ≥30). Most patients adhered to exercise and night splint regime. The strongest associated factors with high upper extremity disability were more days in cast (Odds ratio 1.429, 95% CI 1.110–1.840) and fear of movement (Odds ratio 1.119, 95% CI 0.990–1.256) in the final regression model (Nagelkerke R Square 0.46). Most patients regain early satisfactory hand function, but a quarter still perceives high upper extremity disability. Longer immobilisation time in particular and fear of movement are important factors that may negatively affect the early outcome.

Instability of the roll/streak structure induced by free-stream turbulence in pre-transitional Couette flow

description: Although the roll/streak structure is ubiquitous in pre-transitional wall-bounded shear flow, this structure is linearly stable if the idealization of laminar flow is made. Lacking an instability, the large transient growth of the roll/streak structure has been invoked to explain its appearance as resulting from chance occurrence in the free-stream turbulence (FST) of perturbations configured to optimally excite it. However, there is an alternative interpretation which is that FST interacts with the roll/streak structure to destabilize it. Statistical state dynamics (SSD) provides analysis methods for studying instabilities of this type which arise from interaction between the coherent and incoherent components of turbulence. Stochastic structural stability theory (S3T), which implements SSD in the form of a closure at second order, is used to analyze the SSD modes arising from interaction between the coherent streamwise invariant component and the incoherent FST component of turbulence. The least stable S3T mode is destabilized at a critical value of a parameter controlling FST intensity and a finite amplitude roll/streak structure arises from this instability through a bifurcation in this parameter. Although this bifurcation has analytical expression only in SSD, it is closely reflected in both the dynamically similar quasi-linear system, referred to as the restricted non-linear (RNL) system, and in DNS. S3T also predicts a second bifurcation at a higher value of the turbulent excitation parameter. This second bifurcation is shown to lead to transition to turbulence. Bifurcation from a finite amplitude roll/streak equilibrium provides a direct route to the turbulent state through the S3T roll/streak instability.

description: Diamantverbundwerkstoffe in Form von Diamantwerkzeugen sind zur abrasiven Bearbeitung harter Materialien von großer Bedeutung. Die Qualität und insbesondere das Verschleißverhalten solcher diamantimprägnierter Metallmatrixwerkstoffe hängt entscheidend von der Diamant-Metall-Bindung ab. Diese kann durch die Bildung von Metallkarbiden gestärkt oder durch die Bildung von Graphit geschwächt werden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die atomare Struktur der Diamant-Metall-Grenzfläche in Abhängigkeit der Metallmatrixzusammensetzung für vakuumgesinterte Diamant-Metall-Segmente untersucht. Unter Verwendung von Synchrotronstrahlung konnte mit Hilfe von Röntgendiffraktionsexperimenten gezeigt werden, dass die Kohlenstoffreaktivität der Übergangsmetalle der 4. Periode des Periodensystemes entscheidend von der elektronischen Besetzung des 3d-Orbitales abhängt. Chrom bildet stabile Cr3C2 und Cr7C3 Karbidstrukturen aus und unterdrückt die Graphitisierung der Diamantstruktur. Eisen ist ein deutlich schwächerer Karbidbilder und ermöglicht zudem die Bildung von Graphit. Kobalt und Nickel besitzen eine große Kohlenstofflöslichkeit und katalysieren die Diamant-Graphit Umwandlung. Kupfer verhält sich inert gegenüber den Diamanten. Aus den Ergebnissen kann abgeleitet werden, dass zur Realisierung einer starken Diamant-Metall-Bindung bei gleichzeitiger Substitution von Kobalt insbesondere eine Kupfer-Chrom wie auch Nickel-Chrom Binderphase geeignet ist.

Symmetrizing Cost of Quantum States

description: We introduce and analyze a task that we call symmetrization, in which a state of a quantum system, associated with a symmetry group, is transformed by a random unitary operation to a symmetric state. Each element of the unitary ensemble is required to be symmetry preserving, in the sense that it keeps the set of symmetric states invariant. We consider an asymptotic limit of infinitely many copies and vanishingly small error, and analyze the symmetrizing cost, that is, the minimum cost of randomness per copy required for symmetrization. We prove that the symmetrizing cost of an arbitrary quantum state is equal to the relative entropy of frameness, thereby providing it with a direct operational meaning.

description: Metamaterials with the transformation method has greatly promoted the development in achieving invisibility and illusion for various classical waves. However, the requirement of tailor-made bulk materials and extreme constitutive parameters associated to illusion designs hampers its further progress. Inspired by recent demonstrations of metasurfaces in achieving reduced versions of electromagnetic cloaks, we propose and experimentally demonstrate source illusion devices to manipulate flexural waves using metasurfaces. The approach is particularly useful for elastic waves due to the lack of form-invariance in usual transformation methods. We demonstrate metasurfaces for shifting, transforming and splitting a point source with "space-coiling" structures. The effects are found to be broadband and robust against a change of source position, with agreement from numerical simulations and Huygens-Fresnel theory. The proposed approach provides an avenue to generically manipulate guided elastic waves in solids, and is potentially useful for applications such as non-destructive testing, enhanced sensing and imaging.

description: ZnO/GaN alloys exhibit exceptional photocatalyst applications owing to the flexibly tunable band gaps that cover a wide range of the solar spectrum, and thus have attracted extensive attentions over the past few years. In this study, first-principles calculations were employed to investigate structural stabilities and electronic properties of (1-100) and (11-20) ZnO/GaN heterostructured nanofilms. The effects of nanofilm thickness and GaN ratio were explored. It was found that all studied heterostructured nanofilms were less stable than the corresponding pure ZnO film but more stable than pure GaN one, exhibiting a much thicker film with better stability. Electronic band structures displayed that both two types of (1-100) and (11-20) heterostructured nanofilms were semiconductors with band gaps strongly depending on the GaN ratios as well as the thicknesses. Of particular interesting is that the band gaps decreased firstly, and then increased with the increasing GaN ratio. Furthermore, electronic contribution to the valence band maximum and the conduction band minimum, and optical absorption were discussed. Our results of ZnO/GaN heterostructured nanofilms with spatial separation of electrons and holes, and flexibly tunable band gaps hold great promise for applications in visible-photovoltaic field.

description: Cancer cells exhibit an altered redox balance and aberrant redox signaling due to genetic, metabolic, and microenvironment-associated reprogramming. Persistently elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to many aspects of tumor development and progression. Emerging studies demonstrated the vital role of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 or reduction/oxidation (redox) factor 1(APE1/Ref-1) in the oxidative stress response and survival of cancer cells. APE1/Ref-1 is a multifunctional enzyme involved in the DNA damage response and functions as a redox regulator of transcription factors. We herein demonstrated that basal hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and APE1/Ref-1 expression levels were markedly higher in cancer cell lines than in non-cancerous cells. Elevated APE1/Ref-1 levels were associated with shorter survival in liver cancer patients. Mechanistically, we showed that H2O2 activated nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). RelA/p65 inhibited the expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin, possibly by interfering with ATF4 activity. Parkin was responsible for the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of APE1/Ref-1; therefore, the H2O2-induced suppression of Parkin expression increased APE1/Ref-1 levels. The probability of survival was lower in liver cancer patients with low Parkin and high RelA expression levels. Additionally, Parkin and RelA expression levels negatively and positively correlated with APE1/Ref-1 levels, respectively, in the TCGA liver cancer cohort. We concluded that increases in APE1/Ref-1 via the NF-κB and Parkin pathways are critical for cancer cell survival under oxidative stress. The present results show the potential of the NF-κB-Parkin-APE1/Ref-1 axis as a prognostic factor and therapeutic strategy to eradicate liver cancer.

description: The midpoint single-electron reduction potential of nitroaromatic compounds in aqueous medium at pH 7.0 (potential of ArNO2/ArNO2·– couple, Em7) frequently determines their therapeutic and/or toxic properties. However, its estimation remains a complex problem. We propose a modified method of Em7 estimation by quantum mechanical calculations, based on the use of the dielectric continuum model together with a certain number of H2O molecules at the vicinity of nitro group. The optimal number of H2O molecules corresponds to a minimal difference between the experimentally determined and calculated values of Em7, and/or the most negative value of calculated Em7. This enabled us to calculate the Em7 values for a number of ArNO2 (n = 19) with the average deviation of 0.027 V from the experimentally determined ones. Apart from nitrobenzene derivatives, the application of this approach for the representatives of nitropyridines, nitrofurans, nitrothiophenes, and nitrothiazoles was demonstrated. In this case, nitroimidazole derivatives are an exception, evidently due to a strong proton accepting properties of N3 atom of their free radicals.

description: This study sought to address the gap in the literature concerning how online advertising affect customers attitude. The main objective of the study was to find out the effect of Online advertising on Customers' Attitude. The specific objectives were to know the relationship between dependent variables (credibility, informativeness, entertainment and irritation) and independent variable (attitude towards online advertising). The target population of this study was Addis Ababa social media users. Convenience sampling technique was used to obtain representative sample. Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze the data. A total of 337 questionnaires were returned and analyzed to find the result. Assumption and diagnostic tests were done, and it is found out that relationship between independent and dependent variables exists and, in the end, entertainment was found to be dominative determinant of attitude towards online advertising while credibility and informativeness were also found to have positive significant. On the other hand, irritation was found to have no significant effect on attitude towards online advertising

description: We study holographic superconductor model with two scalar fields coupled to one single Maxwell field in the AdS soliton background away from the probe limit. We disclose properties of phase transitions mostly from the holographic topological entanglement entropy approach. With different sets of parameters, we observe various types of transitions, especially a new first order phase transition between the condensation of different order parameters in the insulator/superconductor system. Our results show that the entanglement entropy is a good probe to critical phase transition points and the order of phase transitions in the two-order model. We also conclude that the entanglement entropy is useful to some extent in determining the physically supported phases. In addition, we investigate properties of the condensation through the scalar operator and the charge density in the dual theory. As a summary, we draw the complete phase diagram of the effects of the scalar charge on phase transitions. At last, we give some qualitative understanding and obtain the analytical condition for the first order phase transition to occur.

description: We propose a new class of spontaneous baryogenesis models that does not produce baryon isocurvature perturbations. The baryon chemical potential in these models is independent of the field value of the baryon-generating scalar, hence the scalar field fluctuations are blocked from propagating into the baryon isocurvature. We demonstrate this mechanism in simple examples where spontaneous baryogenesis is driven by a non-canonical scalar field. The suppression of the baryon isocurvature allows spontaneous baryogenesis to be compatible even with high-scale inflation.

description: Due to increasing self-service and changing consumers' lifestyle the interest in packaging as a tool of sales promotion and stimulator of impulsive buying decision is growing increasingly. So packaging performs an important role in marketing communications, especially in the point of sale and could be treated as one of the most important factors influencing consumer's purchase decision. Many consumers today shop under higher levels of perceived time pressure and tend to purchase fewer products than intended (Herrington and Capella, 1995; Silayoi and Speece, 2004). Products purchased during shopping excursions often appear to be chosen without prior planning and represent an impulse buying event (Hausman, 2000). A package that attracts consumers at the point of sale will help them make decisions quickly in-store. As the customer's eye movement tracks across a display of packages, different new packages can be noticed against the competitors. Hence, the research findings could provide how important the packaging elements are to consumers to make decisions at the point of purchase & to marketers how they attract consumers at the point of sale. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of packaging on purchase decision of consumers in Addis Ababa, the case of Yami Mango Juice. one of frequently purchased products in supermarkets. The research adapted a model that consisted visual & verbal elements of packaging such as packaging color, design, graphics, material, and size from visual elements & product & nutritional information from the verbal. The effect of these packaging elements on consumers purchase decision was evaluated. The research findings revealed that majority of the packaging elements such as packaging color, design material, size, and product information had significant effect, but graphics and nutritional information failed to have significant effect on consumers purchase decision

Distinct Lepidoptera superfamilies are represented by different colors and non-lepidopteran arthropods are represented in black.

Colors correspond to geographical locations where the species were sampled (Table S1). Figure S3. Mirrored cladograms representing the phylogeny in Fig. 1 (left) and Fig. 2 (right). Branches with two black asterisks indicate phylogenetic incongruences according to taxonomic classification of species. Branches with black and red asterisks indicate phylogenetic incongruences associated with geographical proximity between sample locations of the taxa involved. Thus, black and red asterisks correspond to incongruences potentially explained by the geographical overlap of species, which is a feature required for the occurrence of HT events. Because the geographical region where a species was sampled does not always correspond to the whole extent of the species distribution, it is likely that more phylogenetic incongruences are associated with spatial overlapping of the taxa involved (see text).

description: Many superconducting qubit systems use the dispersive interaction between the qubit and a coupled harmonic resonator to perform quantum state measurement. Previous works have found that such measurements can induce state transitions in the qubit if the number of photons in the resonator is too high. We investigate these transitions and find that they can push the qubit out of the two-level subspace, and that they show resonant behavior as a function of photon number. We develop a theory for these observations based on level crossings within the Jaynes-Cummings ladder, with transitions mediated by terms in the Hamiltonian that are typically ignored by the rotating wave approximation. We find that the most important of these terms comes from an unexpected broken symmetry in the qubit potential. We confirm the theory by measuring the photon occupation of the resonator when transitions occur while varying the detuning between the qubit and resonator.

description: In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten wurden die europäischen Hochschulen einem erheblichen Wandel unterzogen, welcher u. a. auf die New Public Management (NPM) Reformen und die relativ starke Konvergenz der europäischen Hochschulsysteme durch zwischenstaatliche Vereinbarungen wie den Bologna-Prozess zurückzuführen ist. Einhergehend mit einem starken Aufbau von Managementkapazitäten haben sich Universitäten immer mehr zu zentral gesteuerten Organisationen entwickelt. Als Teil dieses Prozesses wurde eine schrittweise Abkehr vom klassischen Humboldtschen Modell der Einheit von Lehre und Forschung im akademischen Beruf in Richtung strukturell differenzierter akademischer Rollen beobachtet. Das Humboldtsche Modell nimmt eine starke Verkopplung von Lehre und Forschung sowohl in Bezug auf den Inhalt von wissenschaftlicher Arbeit als auch in Bezug auf den Aufgabenbereich von Wissenschaftlern an. Nach diesem Modell sind sowohl Lehre als auch Forschung Teil von Universitäten. Das sich verändernde Verhältnis von Forschung und Lehre sowie die Tendenz zu der akademischen Rollendifferenzierung können zur Folge haben, dass neue Ungleichheiten unter Akademikern entstehen oder dass die bereits bestehenden Ungleichheiten intensiviert werden. Frühere Studien haben gezeigt, dass Wissenschaftlerinnen tendenziell mehr in der Lehre als in Forschungs- oder Führungsaufgaben tätig sind, im Gegensatz zu ihren männlichen Kollegen. Die Entkopplung von Lehr- und Forschungsaufgaben und ihre ungleiche Verteilung zwischen Gruppen von Akademikern kann eventuell zu einer genderspezifischen Segregation der akademischen Rollen führen und somit ein Hindernis für den Karriereverlauf von Wissenschaftlerinnen darstellen, da Erfolg in der Forschung nach wie vor eines der wichtigsten Kriterien für den beruflichen Aufstieg ist. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Veränderung der akademischen Rollen für Wissenschaftlerinnen und die Auswirkungen dieser Veränderung auf ihre Karriereperspektiven zu verstehen.
