description: Home absence detection is an emerging field on smart home installations. Identifying whether or not the residents of the house are present, is important in numerous scenarios. Possible scenarios include but are not limited to: elderly people living alone, people suffering from dementia, home quarantine. The majority of published papers focus on either pressure / door sensors or cameras in order to detect outing events. Although the aforementioned approaches provide solid results, they are intrusive and require modifications for sensor placement. In our work, appliance electrical use is investigated as a means for detecting the presence or absence of residents. The energy use is the result of power disaggregation, a non intrusive / non invasive sensing method. Since a dataset providing energy data and ground truth for home absence is not available, artificial outing events were introduced on the UK-DALE dataset, a well known dataset for Non Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM). Several machine learning algorithms were evaluated using the generated dataset. Benchmark results have shown that home absence detection using appliance power consumption is feasible.

description: Increasing student retention (successfully finishing a particular course) and persistence (continuing through a sequence of courses or the major area of study) is currently a major challenge for universities. While students' academic and social integration into an institution seems to be vital for student retention, research into the effect of interpersonal interactions is rare. We use network analysis as an approach to investigate academic and social experiences of students in the classroom. In particular, centrality measures identify patterns of interaction that contribute to integration into the university. Using these measures, we analyze how position within a social network in a Modeling Instruction (MI) course -- an introductory physics course that strongly emphasizes interactive learning -- predicts their persistence in taking a subsequent physics course. Students with higher centrality at the end of the first semester of MI are more likely to enroll in a second semester of MI. Moreover, we found that chances of successfully predicting individual student's persistence based on centrality measures are fairly high -- up to $75\%$, making the centrality a good predictor of persistence. These findings suggest that increasing student social integration may help in improving persistence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.

Year: 2018

description: The objective of this study is to assess the effect of organizational stress management one: job performance"A case of Health Counseling & Information Center (952 Health Hotline)". In addition, the study was also conducted to identify the causes, consequences of stress and to examine the relationship between stress, job performance and effects of work stress on performance in 952 Health Hotline. It also examines the stress management practices and to recommend effective way of stress management and the remedial measures to be taken by management to minimize the effects of job stress to build high performance of employees to achieve the unit goals in Health Counseling & Information Center. A combination of qualitative and quantitative research approach has been adopted whereby a structured questionnaire was administered by the researcher to supervisors and coordinator. 23 usable responses were collected and in-depth interviews with coordinator and 2 supervisors of the 952 Health hotline were used to support the quantitative data. SPSS was used to process the primary data. In addition to that, the researcher has done Work environment observation. It was found that, Workload, dealing with difficult customers and malfunctioning system (line problems) are the main factors of work stress and affected the counselors' job performance. This is reflected through absenteeism, reduced productivity, poor working relationship and low morale. There is also lack of career development in the unit. The stress they encountered is not only from their work, the working environmental issues and other issues are considered as added issues such as poor technology, salary, career development, the provision of proper equipment, recognition and lack of attention from the higher officials. In terms of stress management there is no proper training, especially for newly hired counsellors joining the Hotline. Self-counselling to manage stress is not sufficient. Finally, Ministry of Health should consider the significance of this service into account and should involve in the process enhancing of the service by equipping all necessary materials and the facilitation of counseling service without interruption. The Ministry should also help counselors by facilitating stress management training at least once a year. As the unit has a nationwide important contribution it has to be equally treated and be recognized as one of the key departments of the Ministry of Health (MoH).

description: The Open Aid Malawi initiative has collected an unprecedented database that identifies as much location-specific information as possible for each of over 2500 individual foreign aid donations to Malawi since 2003. Ensuring efficient use and distribution of that aid is important to donors and to Malawi citizens. However, because of individual donor goals and difficulty in tracking donor coordination, determining presence or absence of efficient aid allocation is difficult. We compare several Bayesian spatial generalized linear mixed models to relate aid allocation to various economic indicators within seven donation sectors. We find that the spatial gamma regression model best predicts current aid allocation. Using this model, first we use inferences on coefficients to examine whether or not there is evidence of efficient aid allocation within each sector. Second, we use this model to determine a more efficient aid allocation scenario and compare this scenario to the current allocation to provide insight for future aid donations.

description: High-entropy alloys, near-equiatomic solid solutions of five or more elements, represent a new strategy for the design of materials with properties superior to those of conventional alloys. However, their phase space remains constrained, with transition metal high-entropy alloys exhibiting only face- or body-centered cubic structures. Here, we report the high-pressure synthesis of a hexagonal close-packed phase of the prototypical high-entropy alloy CrMnFeCoNi. This martensitic transformation begins at 14 GPa and is attributed to suppression of the local magnetic moments, destabilizing the initial fcc structure. Similar to fcc-to-hcp transformations in Al and the noble gases, the transformation is sluggish, occurring over a range of >40 GPa. However, the behaviour of CrMnFeCoNi is unique in that the hcp phase is retained following decompression to ambient pressure, yielding metastable fcc-hcp mixtures. This demonstrates a means of tuning the structures and properties of high-entropy alloys in a manner not achievable by conventional processing techniques.

Pest management in tropical vegetable systems in cucurbit crops
Creators: name: Qureshi, Sohail Aslam
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Cucurbit crops are prone to attack by a number of sap-sucking insect pests, including silverleaf whitefly (SLW) and aphids. These pests have the potential to cause devastating and irreversible damage to the $1.5 billion Australian horticulture industry. This project investigated a number of potential management strategies. An efficient and accurate sampling method was established to assess harmful and beneficial insects in both organic and conventional cucurbit farms. The relationships between SLW and selected biotic and abiotic parameters were investigated. In particular the role of weather, predators and alternative hosts was documented. Lastly a range of alternative control strategies was investigated. SLW numbers increased as maximum temperature and relative humidity 3- 4 weeks prior to sampling increased. Therefore, periods of increased temperature and relative humidity may provide a warning to vegetable growers of a potential SLW outbreak in 3-4 weeks, allowing growers to take necessary precautions. Alternative control strategies, such as the use of the soft pesticide, Pyriproxyfen, an insect growth regulator, returned beneficial results including reduced SLW numbers, reduced fruit damage and increased yield and fruit quality. Floating Row Covers were also found to reduce numbers of SLW and fruit damage, and to increase yield. The use of companion plants for habitat manipulation was also investigated. Plantings of Lablab hosted the highest numbers of beneficial insects, followed by Good Bug Mix. Lucerne and Niger not only showed little promise in hosting beneficial insects but also hosted significantly more of the harmful insects. Of the potential alternative hosts assessed, pumpkin, capsicum and eggplant hosted the greatest numbers of SLW, whilst pigweed hosted almost none. Compared to the conventional farm, crops on the organic farm had more predators (ladybird beetles, lacewings and spiders) and fewer SLW and aphids probably due to the absence of use of conventional and broad-spectrum insecticides. These results demonstrated the feasibility of alternative control strategies.

description: With molecular beam epitaxy and topotactic chemical reaction, we prepared NdFeAs(O,H) epitaxial thin films with various hydrogen concentrations on 5° vicinal cut MgO substrates. By measuring the resistivities along the longitudinal and transversal directions, the ab plane and the c axis resistivities (\{rho}_ab and \{rho}_c) were obtained. The resistivity anisotropy γ_\{rho}=\{rho}_c \ \{rho}_ab of NdFeAs(O,H) with various hydrogen concentrations was compared with that of NdFeAs(O,F). At the H concentrations which led to superconducting transition temperatures Tc over 40 K, γ_\r{ho} recorded ~100-150 at 50 K. On the other hand, a low γ_\{rho} value of 9 was observed with the mostly doped sample. The exponent \{beta} of the ab plane resistivity obtained by fitting a power law expression \{rho}_{ab}(T)=\{rho}_0+AT^\{beta} to the data was close to unity down to low temperature in the vicinity where the second antiferromagnetic phase locates, which may be related to the quantum critical point discussed at the over-doped side of the phase diagram.

description: En este trabajo fueron diseñadas las etapas de hidrólisis y fermentación para producir bioetanol a partir de almidón de yuca amarga, basándose en la respuesta dinámica del sistema, con el fin de obtener un proceso continuo estable y con alto rendimiento de producto. En el estudio, se implementaron modelos cinéticos complejos de estructura matemática no lineal que permitieron verificar fenómenos de inestabilidad que propiciaron bajo rendimiento de producto. Se simuló el arranque de cada etapa en un biorreactor de tanque agitado continuo (CSTBR) utilizando códigos programados en Matlab. Los resultados permitieron determinar el efecto de la velocidad de dilución, y la concentración de alimentación de sustrato sobre la estabilidad de ambas etapas, así como el efecto de la temperatura sobre la estabilidad del proceso de fermentación. Mediante el análisis de la información, se establecieron valores para los parámetros de operación estudiados y para las concentraciones de arranque, que permitieron alcanzar y mantener estados estables de alta productividad y rendimiento en cada uno de los procesos. Se obtuvo un diseño integral al incluir un análisis coherente de la respuesta dinámica del sistema para cada una de las etapas. Este diseño aporta a la solución de problemas que se presentan actualmente en las plantas industriales de producción de alcohol carburante, relacionados a caídas de rendimiento inesperadas que se atribuyen a la inestabilidad del sistema.

Monitoring visual water clarity in lakes
Creators: name: Traverse Environmental
Publisher: name: AgResearch
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 41
subject: Environmental sciences

description: Visual water clarity is a measure of the ability of light to travel through water. Visual clarity in lakes may be reduced due to suspended sediment or when there are phytoplankton or cyanobacteria blooms. Visual water clarity is an important indicator of lake health. Reduced clarity can indicate high suspended sediment inputs to the lake from the surrounding catchment. Low visual clarity can also be a sign of algal (phytoplankton) or cyanobacteria blooms, which are an outcome of eutrophication (excess nutrients). Low visual clarity can impact the aesthetic and recreational values of a lake and adversely affect ecological health. For example, if light cannot reach the lake bottom the growth of aquatic plants will be affected. Monitoring visual clarity is a key part of evaluating the trophic status of a lake, which is a common measure used to describe lake health in New Zealand. Trophic state provides an indicator of how much growth or productivity occurs in the lake, productivity being directly related to the availability of nutrients. Visual clarity is one of four variables (along with total nitrogen, total phosphorus and chlorophyll a) used to determine the ‘Trophic Level Index’ for New Zealand lakes.

The gas is suddenly released into a region of size $2L$ by moving one of the box edges. We show that the analytic prediction for the entanglement entropy obtained from quantum fluctuating hydrodynamics holds quantitatively true even after several reflections of the gas against the box edges. We further investigate the long time limit $t/L\gg 1$ where a Floquet picture of the non-equilibrium dynamics emerges and hydrodynamics eventually breaks down.

description: Deposited fine sediment is the fine sand, silt or clay (less than 2mm wide) that settles on the bed of a river. It occurs naturally through weathering processes, bank erosion and water movement, but can increase due to human activities. The natural levels of deposited fine sediment will vary for a number of reasons, including source inputs, surrounding geology, stream size, land slope and amount of rainfall in the catchment. However, activities such as agriculture, horticulture, forestry and earthworks can increase the amount of fine sediment that enters a river.

description: \emph{Hitomi} observations of Perseus with the Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS) provide a high-resolution look at the 3.5 keV feature reported by multiple groups in the Perseus cluster. The \emph{Hitomi} spectrum -- which involves the sum of diffuse cluster emission and the point-like central Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) -- does not show any excess at $E \sim 3.5 {\rm keV}$, giving an apparent inconsistency with previous observations of excess diffuse emission. We point out that 2009 \emph{Chandra} data reveals a strong dip in the AGN spectrum at $E = (3.54 \pm 0.02) {\rm keV}$ (cluster frame) -- the identical energy to the diffuse excess observed by \emph{XMM-Newton}. Scaling this dip to the 2016 AGN luminosity and adding it to the diffuse \emph{XMM-Newton} excess, this predicts an overall dip in the SXS field of view of $(-5.9 \pm 4.4) \times 10^{-6} \, {\rm ph} \, {\rm cm}^{-2} \, {\rm s}^{-1}$ at $E= 3.54$ keV -- a precise match to the \emph{Hitomi} data when broadened by the dark matter virial velocity. We describe models of Fluorescent Dark Matter that can reproduce this physics, in which dark matter absorbs and then re-emits 3.5 keV photons emitted from the central AGN.

description: Controlling directionality of optical emitters is of utmost importance for their application in communication and biosensing devices. Metallic nanoantennas have been proven to affect both excitation and emission properties of nearby emitters, including directionality of their emission. In this regard, optical directional nanoantennas based on a Yagi-Uda design have been demonstrated in the visible range. Despite this impressive proof of concept, their overall size and considerable number of elements represent obstacles for the exploitation of these antennas in nanophotonic applications and for their incorporation onto photonic chips. In order to address these challenges, we investigate an alternative design. In particular, we numerically demonstrate unidirectionality of an ultracompact optical antenna based on two parallel gold nanorods (side-by-side dimer). Our results show that exciting the antiphase mode by an emitter placed in the near-field can lead to unidirectional emission. Furthermore, in order to verify the feasibility of this design, we study the effect on the directionality of several parameters such as shape of the nanorods, possible defects in dimer assembly, and different position and orientation of the emitter. We conclude that this design is robust to changes, making it experimentally achievable.

Subjects: classificationCode: 41
subject: Environmental sciences

description: Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a common bacteria found in the digestive system of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Because E. coli can survive for a few weeks in freshwater environments it is a useful indicator of the presence of faecal matter of human or animal origin. If E. coli is detected, there may be other pathogens present that can cause illness. Common sources of E. coli in rivers and lakes are discharges of human wastewater, livestock faeces, bird droppings and stormwater. Management practices to reduce E. coli in waterbodies include stock exclusion, riparian planting, erosion control and pest eradication. E. coli is a key attribute in the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 and councils are required to monitor recreational sites in lakes and rivers at monthly intervals, or more frequently, according to the level of risk of infection. Long-term monitoring of E. coli may be useful for assessing the effectiveness of land mitigation actions.
The Effect of Leadership Style on Employee Performance In Some Selected Non-Governmental Organizations: Orbis International Ethiopia, Family Guidance Association and Fred Hollows Foundation
Creators: name: Haileyesus, Woineshet

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of leadership style on employee performance in some selected None Government Organizations. A sample size of 160 was used from three selected NGOs in Addis Ababa using stratified sampling technique. The study adopted explanatory research design. A five point likert scale structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software was used in analyzing the questionnaires. Descriptive statistics was used to measure the central tendency through use of mean scores, percentages, frequencies and presented in tables and charts. Regression analysis was used to establish the relationship between the study variables. The study found that all the three leadership styles namely democratic, autocratic and laissez-fair are practiced at Orbis International Ethiopia, Family Guidance Association and Fred Hollows Foundation. Democratic leadership style is predominantly exhibited by the leaders of these organizations followed by Laissez-faire leadership style. Autocratic leadership style is the least practiced by the supervisors. The study revealed that the task and contextual performance of the employees working at the three selected organizations is high. Lastly, the study found that leadership style of the managers affect the employee performance either negatively or positively. Accordingly, democratic leadership style and laissez-faire leadership style positively affect employees' performance. Thus, hypotheses in relation to these factors were accepted. On the other hand, autocratic leadership style insignificantly negatively affects employee performance and the tested hypothesis in relation to this variable was rejected. The study recommends that supervisors to practice more of laissez-faire leadership style to enhance the performance of employees. Though the result of the descriptive analysis shows that this leadership style has greater effect on employee performance, the managers should monitor the attitude, behavior of employees and situation and exhibit the right mix of the three types of leadership style depending on the situation

description: Biomedical researchers use ontologies to annotate their data with ontology terms, enabling better data integration and interoperability. However, the number, variety and complexity of current biomedical ontologies make it cumbersome for researchers to determine which ones to reuse for their specific needs. To overcome this problem, in 2010 the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) released the Ontology Recommender, which is a service that receives a biomedical text corpus or a list of keywords and suggests ontologies appropriate for referencing the indicated terms. We developed a new version of the NCBO Ontology Recommender. Called Ontology Recommender 2.0, it uses a new recommendation approach that evaluates the relevance of an ontology to biomedical text data according to four criteria: (1) the extent to which the ontology covers the input data; (2) the acceptance of the ontology in the biomedical community; (3) the level of detail of the ontology classes that cover the input data; and (4) the specialization of the ontology to the domain of the input data. Our evaluation shows that the enhanced recommender provides higher quality suggestions than the original approach, providing better coverage of the input data, more detailed information about their concepts, increased specialization for the domain of the input data, and greater acceptance and use in the community. In addition, it provides users with more explanatory information, along with suggestions of not only individual ontologies but also groups of ontologies. It also can be customized to fit the needs of different scenarios. Ontology Recommender 2.0 combines the strengths of its predecessor with a range of adjustments and new features that improve its reliability and usefulness. Ontology Recommender 2.0 recommends over 500 biomedical ontologies from the NCBO BioPortal platform, where it is openly available.

description: Long range interaction between distant spins is an important building block for the realization of large quantum-dot network in which couplings between pairs of spins can be selectively addressed. Recent experiments on coherent logical states oscillation between remote spins facilitated by intermediate electron states has paved the first step for large scale quantum information processing. Reaching this ultimate goal requires extensive studies on the superexchange interaction on different quantum-dot spatial arrangements and electron configurations. Here, we consider a linear triple-quantum-dot with two anti-parallel spins in the outer dots forming the logical states while various number of electrons in the middle dot forming a mediator, which facilitates the superexchange interaction. We show that the superexchange is enhanced when the number of mediating electrons increases. In addition, we show that forming a four-electron triplet in the mediator dot further enhance the superexchange strength. Our work can be a guide to scale up the quantum-dot array with controllable and dense connectivity.
