description: The hierarchical interpolative factorization (HIF) offers an efficient way for solving or preconditioning elliptic partial differential equations. By exploiting locality and low-rank properties of the operators, the HIF achieves quasi-linear complexity for factorizing the discrete positive definite elliptic operator and linear complexity for solving the associated linear system. In this paper, the distributed-memory HIF (DHIF) is introduced as a parallel and distributed-memory implementation of the HIF. The DHIF organizes the processes in a hierarchical structure and keep the communication as local as possible. The computation complexity is $O\left(\frac{N\log N}{P}\right)$ and $O\left(\frac{N}{P}\right)$ for constructing and applying the DHIF, respectively, where $N$ is the size of the problem and $P$ is the number of processes. The communication complexity is $O\left(\sqrt{P}\log^3 P\right)α+ O\left(\frac{N^{2/3}}{\sqrt{P}}\right)β$ where $α$ is the latency and $β$ is the inverse bandwidth. Extensive numerical examples are performed on the NERSC Edison system with up to 8192 processes. The numerical results agree with the complexity analysis and demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of the DHIF.

description: The issue of data management is not unknown to the geotechnical engineering industry. In some instances, the storage of data includes an outdated file room cluttered with thousands of files haphazardly shuffled away. In others, data has been digitized to some extent, but the transfer of these files is not as efficient as it could be. Countless resources are wasted every year as data from previous explorations or construction activities are searched for or individually manipulated to fit the needs of current projects. In some instances, data is lost altogether and repeat explorations are required to be performed. Additionally, as data is produced even today, time and money are wasted on manipulating the data as it is shared between different members of the geotechnical community. Two parties using different applications or formatting techniques makes transferring and processing data difficult and time consuming. To combat these issues, the Data Interchange for Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (DIGGS) project was created. This project was initially introduced to manage data from geotechnical explorations, but the ASCE Geo-Institute has been making a push in recent years to expand DIGGS to include data from construction activities as well. Work on DIGGS to expand its capacity to be able to organize data from grouting-related ground improvement activities began in 2021. The initial phase of this expansion was a success, and funding was granted by the Geo-Institute Special Projects Committee to continue this expansion in 2022. The details of this expansion are included in this report. The methods by which this expansion was carried out are detailed in this report, as well as a thorough explanation of the additions made to the DIGGS schema. The Continuous Grouting object was a paramount addition of this expansion, and the testing of this object among others is discussed in this report as well. For the first time, a data set was used to test the time series objects for grouting-related projects in this project. The instance document generated from this sample data set is included in the report and verifies the successful expansion of the DIGGS schema to include jet grouting and deep mixing projects.

description: The construction site of the ancient Temple of Apollo in Didyma existed for five centuries, with interruptions, without the monumental structure being completed. Therefore, the preserved architectural structure contains blocks from different phases of construction when work was halted, giving us insights into the diverse building processes of an ancient construction site. Furthermore, important inscriptions have survived, which document as building reports the construction process of the temple for individual years. The current project »Neuedition der Bauberichte von Didyma«, based on cooperation of epigraphists and building researchers, is therefore investigating unresolved questions about the ancient construction site and the construction processes of the Hellenistic temple.

description: Among different phases of the life cycle of a building or facility, design is of the utmost importance to ensure safety, efficiency and sustainability of the building or facility. How to control and improve design quality and efficiency has been explored for years, and more studies emerged with the popularization of Building Information Modelling (BIM). However, most of them focused on the extraction of design behaviors, while paying less attention to how a design is formed. Therefore, this study proposes an approach to tracking and replaying the BIM-based design process by integrating data logging and 4D visualization techniques. First of all, potential design behaviors and procedures are analyzed and extracted by observing how a designer designs a BIM model. Meanwhile, the required data for logging design process is defined and a relevant method to collect these data is developed based on the APIs of BIM software. Then, strategies on how to visualize different design procedures are designed and implemented via 4D visualization. Finally, a prototype system is developed based on Autodesk Revit and validated through a case study. Result shows that the proposed approach enables intuitively and interactively review of the design process, and makes it easier to understand design behaviors and even identify potential pitfalls, thus improving the design efficiency and quality.

The results show that the tunneling rates and Hawking temperatures are depended on the properties of spacetime (event horizon, mass and angular momentum). Besides, our results are the same as scalars and fermions tunneling from 4-dimensional Kerr-de Sitter black hole and 5-dimensional Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole.

description: Abstract Previous studies have applied Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann's Spiral of Silence Theory to social media, yet no study has used social media metrics to quantify the minority-majority opinion gap and to construct a 3D model of an actual Spiral of Silence using field data from a development discussion. This research offers five contributions: (i) an equation that measures the gap in minority-majority opinion or positive-negative social media engagement rates, (ii) a ratio which is the output of the equation, (iii) an index which is the output of the ratio and which measures the size of the spiral, (iv) a theorem that demonstrates logical transitivity of numbers to denote the presence or absence of communication, and (v) a methodology to visualize and model the shape of the spiral in 3D. This study finds that an equation modified from Facebook's engagement rate formula-one that disaggregates positive from negative engagement (minority-majority opinion gaps) and allows data to be gathered even from respondents who do not have access to Facebook-can be used to quantify and then model in 3D an actual Spiral of Silence.

description: The literature has portrayed entrepreneurial pivoting as a vital component of the lean startup approach by which entrepreneurs focus on testing and altering key aspects of their business strategy and goals. Against this backdrop, I conceptualize entrepreneurial pivoting—i.e., a change in a firm’s strategy that reorients the firm’s strategic direction through a reallocation or restructuring of activities, resources, and attention—as a potentially disruptive process that may weaken the strategic cognition of entrepreneurial team members. Drawing from representational gaps theory, I investigate the extent to which entrepreneurial pivoting undermines strategic agreement and/or understanding among entrepreneurial team members. Given that team members’ shared grasp of the pivoting allows effective implementation of the new strategy, I extend entrepreneurial team strategic agreement and understanding as predictors of team entrepreneurial performance. Furthermore, I explore factors that may accentuate or alleviate the relationship between entrepreneurial pivoting and the team strategic cognition constructs. I specifically address factors based on the following two themes. First, I focus on those that pertain to the nature of pivoting (the extent to which the pivoting decision originates more from outside of the boundary of the venture, i.e., pivot external origin, and the concreteness of the new idea toward which the venture is shifting its direction, i.e., pivot concreteness). Second, I focus on team compositional attributes (team temporal stability, team skill differentiation, and team authority differentiation). I develop and validate measures for team entrepreneurial pivoting, pivot external origin, and pivot concreteness. Then, I conduct two studies—an online panel-based study of individual entrepreneurs and a field study based on student entrepreneurial project teams at a large public university in the Southwestern United States—to test my hypotheses. My empirical findings demonstrate that the negative influence of team entrepreneurial pivoting on team strategic understanding (hence, team entrepreneurial performance) is mitigated when pivoting originates more from within the team. Also, the negative influence of team entrepreneurial pivoting on team strategic agreement (hence, team entrepreneurial performance) is mitigated when team skill differentiation is lower. Finally, I discuss theoretical and practical implications and some promising avenues for future research.

Publics otherwise : the poetics of exclusion facing Roma communities in illiberal Hungary

Subjects: Roma

Exclusion

description: This dissertation is an ethnographic study of the exclusion of Roma in northeastern Hungary and its social impacts on Roma communities. Based on 21 months of fieldwork in the region, I argue that pharrajimos—a Romani word meaning “fragmentation” or “cutting up” also used to name the Roma Holocaust—shapes how Roma communities in Hungary experience exclusion, evictability, and deportability through what I call neo-pharrajimos, or new, material, and affective forms of anti-Roma ideology that recur into the present. The entangled poetics of evictability and deportability facing Roma endure as racialized chronotopes that are disappeared through the fragmenting impacts of anti-Roma racism structuring Hungarian illiberalism, but have real material impacts including homelessness and loss of public benefits. Ethnographically engaging with various interactional and narrative genres of neo-pharrajimos, this work points to the ways in which Roma collectively and personally conduct themselves otherwise by moving away from direct forms of confrontation in response to the slow liquidation of publics in which Roma can be heard, in which their voices are audible. Methodologically I track this process and its implications for the possibility of addressing social inequalities through analyses of (1) a speech performed by a Roma activist during a demonstration in solidarity with refugees arriving at Hungary’s southern border in the summer of 2015, (2) slogans imprinted on large banners used by activists protesting a discriminatory housing decree disproportionately affecting Roma community members, and (3) narratives as related by former Roma refugee claimants whose refugee claims were rejected in Canada forcing them to return to Hungary. Analyses of the racialized erasures and removals taking place in ordinary life in post-socialist, illiberal Hungary reveal a deep inability to reckon with its own past as it articulates its relationship with the shared values of the European Union.

Spearman's Law of Diminishing Returns

description: Spearman’s Law of Diminishing Returns (SLODR) posits that the contribution of a general intelligence factor (g) is lower at higher ability levels in explaining individual differences in cognitive ability test scores. This phenomenon has been supported across a variety of methodologies. The present study sought first to model SLODR using factor mixture modeling wherein high- and low-ability classes were created using latent modeling instead of through a priori group selection. The linking sample of the WISC-V and WIAT-III was used (n = 181). This approach was supported in the present study. Known classes were then generated based on this latent class model; these known classes were used to model the relation between intelligence and various achievement domains. As an extension of the SLODR phenomenon, it was hypothesized that the loadings of each achievement domain onto g would be lower in the high-ability group. This hypothesis was based on the premise that SLODR extends to domains that are highly correlated with intelligence such as achievement. Because SLODR posits that a given battery’s subtests are more intercorrelated in lower-ability groups, it would therefore follow that the correlation (and therefore the factor loading) between g and achievement domains in reading, mathematics, and writing similarly increase in a lower-ability group. In most cases, this hypothesis was supported; the standardized loading of the achievement domain onto g was lower in the high-ability class in seven of the nine measured achievement domains. These findings suggest that the relation between intelligence and achievement is not static across the ability spectrum as has previously been assumed. Further, this study suggests that psychologists conducting psychoeducational assessment should use a three-stratum model of intelligence in which broad abilities are also analyzed, especially for individuals with higher cognitive ability. Future research is needed to assess this hypothesis across batteries and methodologies.

description: Adherent placenta disorders, encompassing conditions like placenta accreta, placenta increta, and placenta percreta, pose significant threats to maternal health during pregnancy. Of these, placenta percreta represents a severe manifestation where chorionic villi invade the uterine serosa and affix to surrounding organs, presenting complex challenges in management. This review delves into the distinctive features of placenta percreta, emphasizing its gravity compared to other adherent placenta disorders.

The placental villi play a pivotal role in facilitating nutrient exchange between the mother and fetus. Abnormal attachment of fetal chorionic villi to the myometrium, instead of the decidua, leads to the development of placenta accreta, increta, or percreta. Placenta percreta, the most severe variant, involves chorionic villi breaching the uterine serosa and establishing adherence to adjacent organs.

This paper presents a compelling case of a woman with a preserved uterus following a history encompassing two occurrences of placenta percreta and three incidents of uterine rupture. The rarity and intricacy of such cases underscore the urgency for a nuanced understanding of placenta percreta, not only for immediate clinical management but also for long-term considerations.

Despite the gravity of placenta percreta, optimal management strategies remain contentious due to a dearth of comprehensive studies evaluating treatment modalities and long-term outcomes for affected individuals (Clausen et al., 2014). This review aims to contribute to the evolving discourse on placenta percreta, elucidating the complexities of its presentation, management, and the need for sustained research efforts in this critical area of maternal-fetal medicine.

description: The model of generalized Tsallis holographic dark energy (which is known to be particular representative of Nojiri-Odintsov HDE) with event horizon as cut-off is investigated using methods of dynamical analysis. We take into consideration possible interaction with dark energy and matter in various forms. Critical points are determined. Cosmological evolution of the Universe depends from interaction parameters. If we use event horizon scale as cutoff quasi-de Sitter expansion is possible only for interaction of type $\sim H(αρ_{de}+βρ_{m})$ (where $H$ is the Hubble parameter). For interactions $\sim ρ_m ρ_{de} /H$ and $\sim H ρ_{m}^αρ_{de}^{1-α}$ Universe eventually stops ($H\rightarrow 0$) or ends its existence in final singularity ($H\rightarrow\infty$). In first case fraction of dark energy tends to $1$ or constant value lesser than 1 because dynamical equilibrium between matter and dark energy is established on late times.

description: In the 1980s, 44 fragments of musical instruments from the 3rd/2nd century BCE were excavated in the Oxus Temple at Takht-i Sangin, Tajikistan. Correctly identified as remnants of doublepipes (Greek: auloí) and provisionally published, this unique cache from the Hellenistic period had never been evaluated in terms of its music-archaeological potential. We endeavor to fill this gap using a combination of physical modelling and 3D printing, interpreting the fragments in the context of other finds. Study sessions with the originals in Dushanbe thus enabled us to join fragments to longer pipe sections, revealing an instrument design that appears closely tied to the technical advancements of Hellenistic music.

description: We present a time domain waveform model that describes the inspiral-merger-ringdown (IMR) of compact binary systems whose components are non-spinning, and which evolve on orbits with low to moderate eccentricity. The inspiral evolution is described using third order post-Newtonian equations both for the equations of motion of the binary, and its far-zone radiation field. This latter component also includes instantaneous, tails and tails-of-tails contributions, and a contribution due to non-linear memory. This framework reduces to the post-Newtonian approximant TaylorT4 at third post-Newtonian order in the zero eccentricity limit. To improve phase accuracy, we incorporate higher-order post-Newtonian corrections for the energy flux of quasi-circular binaries and gravitational self-force corrections to the binding energy of compact binaries. This enhanced inspiral evolution prescription is combined with an analytical prescription for the merger-ringdown evolution using a catalog of numerical relativity simulations. This IMR waveform model reproduces effective-one-body waveforms for systems with mass-ratios between 1 to 15 in the zero eccentricity limit. Using a set of eccentric numerical relativity simulations, not used during calibration, we show that our eccentric model accurately reproduces the features of eccentric compact binary coalescence throughout the merger. Using this model we show that the gravitational wave transients GW150914 and GW151226 can be effectively recovered with template banks of quasi-circular, spin-aligned waveforms if the eccentricity $e_0$ of these systems when they enter the aLIGO band at a gravitational wave frequency of 14 Hz satisfies $e_0^{\rm GW150914}\leq0.15$ and $e_0^{\rm GW151226}\leq0.1$.

description: Brweery Industries have been one of the most rapid growing markets in this country for the last decade. Companies should have to use sales promotion effectively to stay in the market. Thus this study explores the influence of sales promotion tools like: price discount, coupon, Free Sample, Sweepstakes and Contest, and Buy one Get one free on consumer buying behavior case of Walia Beer. Data was collected from customers of Walia Beer. A sample of 384 respondents was selected using non probability sampling method. The researcher selected participants of the study from different sub-cities of Addis Ababa by using convenience sampling method due to large number of population. The data were collected through self administered questionnaire which resulted in 370 responses and out of this 357 statistically acceptable response. After that, the data was checked through testes like; validity by KMO and Bartlett's Test, Reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Data analysis was done using descriptive analysis, correlation, regression and one-way ANOVA using SPSS 20 Version. The Pearson correlation coefficient used in the study signifies that all independent variables (tools of sales promotion) and the dependent variable (buying behavior) have strong positive relationships with one another. The result from regression analysis concludes that all sales promotion tools that listed above have significant influence on buying behavior (Price Discount, β1 = 0.13, Coupon, β2= 0.21, Free sample β3=0.24, Sweepstakes & contest, β4 = 0.255 and B1G1F, β5= 0.20) at 95% confidence interval. It was also concluded that this overall sales promotion tools have a significant impact on consumer buying behavior. The results are useful in identifying the influential components of sales promotion and it will help Walia Beer as marketing strategy. As evident from the finding section that the study was conducted in Addis Ababa only, applicability of the results in other countries side may result differently. Further, as the study is recommends the company should focus on associating their products with the consumers through incentive of sales promotion they consumer prefer mostly so as to retain their existing customers and attract the new ones

description: Increasingly, students with ASD are attending tertiary education levels. Data indicates the numbers are increasing, but it is difficult to certify the percentage of students diagnosed with ASD attending postsecondary education. Rates vary across studies about how many students with ASD attend postsecondary education because many do not graduate compared to individuals without disabilities. This information signifies an important area of study in that research needs to address how we can best support adults with ASD attending postsecondary education programs to ensure their graduation rates are in line with those who do not have disabilities. Research provides some evidence to support self-advocacy skills, but little has occurred to explore how best to teach these skills at the postsecondary level. To that end, there is a positive model that emphasizes the unique needs of persons with autism, and it is the video model. Video modeling has a solid evidence base; however, studies involving video modeling for undergraduate students to advocate on college campuses are non-existent. The current study sought to explore how the use of video modeling, paired with a task analysis and role-play, impacted the ability of undergraduate students with ASD to use self-determination and self-advocacy skills in a university setting successfully. The video modeling intervention covered four essential areas of self-advocacy identified by the literature, including a) requesting accommodations from disability services, b) talking to a professor to disclose accommodations, c) locating services/supports throughout campus, and d) handling situations when a professor is not accommodating. Participants were required in the baseline phase to check in on their progress by completing a questionnaire about self-advocacy skills related to an intervention package consisting of a video model, a task analysis, and role-playing about specific components related to self-advocacy. Although there is a paucity using precise psychometric scales towards self-advocacy, the Self-Management Self-Test (SMST) was used as a template to create the questionnaire utilizing the four components of self-advocacy skills. The methodology used was a complex reversal (ABACADAE) design. For each phase, the participants watched a video model about four elements of self-advocacy and role-played the skill until mastery. A second questionnaire was completed afterward as a means of self-monitoring alongside questions that are not directly targeting self-advocacy components as a means of experimental control. The process occurred until the interventionists assessed all four components.

Basing our approach on the linear Debye-Hückel as well as the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory, together with the general Frumkin-Fowler-Guggenheim adsorption isotherm model of the charge regulation process, we analyse and review the dependence of the local pH on the position, as well as bulk electrolyte concentration, bulk pH and curvature of the amphiphilic single membrane vesicle. With appropriately chosen adsorption parameters of the charge regulation model, we find a good agreement with available experimental data.

description: College practitioners and national policymakers are turning to sub-associate workforce education as a solution for providing new skills and knowledge in a rapidly changing labor market, a situation made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic and accelerating technological innovation across the economy. Jobseekers too are seeking short-term training as an affordable and rapid path to economic mobility. However, there is limited evidence showing significant economic return to the nearly one million credit certificates awarded by public community colleges every year, and almost no data disaggregated by race and ethnicity or that explores the labor market value of noncredit programs in which more than 42 percent of community college students are enrolled. This dissertation aims to enhance limited research literature on this topic by exploring the degree to which workforce programs at community colleges advance economic mobility for low-income and underrepresented student populations, or if they instead divert lower income and historically marginalized students (non-White students) away from longer term college pathways with ultimately higher wage potential. Put another way, are short-term training programs advancing economic mobility, or are they effectively maintaining income inequality by exacerbating pre-existing economic disparities? The study sample includes 533,391 unique students, 20 years or older, who enrolled in either credit or noncredit community college workforce programs in Texas between January 2011 and July 2015. The findings show that noncredit workforce programs are not adversely enrolling a disproportionate number of non-White or relatively low-wage earners, and in fact serve as a preferred option for older workers seeking workforce training. The study also highlights consistent patterns of growing wage inequality by race-ethnicity and binary gender for students who enroll in workforce training programs. The goal of many if not all community colleges is to help grow economic outcomes and mobility for all students who enroll in these institutions. The results of this study indicate that colleges and policymakers need to do much more to understand how their workforce programs achieve that mission.

description: A pair of resonant laser fields can drive a three-level system into a dark state where it seizes to absorb and emit radiation due to destructive interference. We propose a scheme to search for this resonance by randomly changing the frequency of one of the fields each time a fluorescence photon is detected. The longer the system is probed, the more likely the frequency is close to resonance and the system populates the dark state. Due to the correspondingly long waiting times between detection events, the evolution is non-ergodic and the precision of the frequency estimate does not follow from the conventional Cramér-Rao bound of parameter estimation. Instead, a Lévy statistical analysis yields the scaling of the estimation error with time for precision probing of this kind.

description: Traditional agency models study communication in settings where agents are better informed than principals. However, in many settings, principals have better information than agents. In this dissertation, I explore the question of how communication occurs between informed principals and uninformed agents. I study this question in the context of two settings. In the first setting, which is explored in Chapter 1, top management in a firm (principal) has better information about some economic parameter (e.g. consumer demand or preferences), which influences an employee's (agent) performance on a project. In the second setting, which is studied in Chapter 2 and coauthored with Alexandra Lilge, top management has better information about the employee's promotion prospects within the firm. Across both settings, I show that, in contrast to conventional wisdom, the principal can benefit from not disclosing private information. In the first setting, nondisclosure allows the principal to obtain better contractual terms with the agent in a moral-hazard context. In the second setting, nondisclosure benefits the principal by curtailing the agent's incentive to engage in accounting misreporting.

Activated hopping transport in anisotropic systems at low temperatures

description: Numerical calculations of anisotropic hopping transport based on the resistor network model are presented. Conductivity is shown to follow the stretched exponential dependence on temperature with exponents changing from 1/4 to 1 as the wave functions become anisotropic and their localization length in the direction of charge transport decreases. For sufficiently strong anisotropy, this results in nearest-neighbor hopping at low temperatures due to the formation of a single conduction path, which adjusts in the planes where the wave functions overlap strongly. In the perpendicular direction, charge transport follows variable-range hopping, a behavior that agrees with experimental data on organic semiconductors.

Giribawa, Sri Lanka. An exceptional site of raw glass and glass bead production. Season 2022
Creators: name: De Saxcé, Ariane
Publisher: name: e-Forschungsberichte
Year: 2023

description: A new excavation has started in February 2022 on the site of Giribawa, in the north-west of Sri Lanka. Its occupation goes back to the early medieval period and probably earlier. The remains that could be identified include bead-making furnaces, glass waste, finished beads, and raw glass fragments, indicating raw glass production on the same site. The chemical composition of the beads and the raw glass are similar. Further investigations on the site will focus on the cultural sequence, the chronology, the location of a settlement area and the technological details of this very specific type of semi-circular furnaces.

description: This is a follow-up study of our previous preregistration on the same topic: “The impact of emotion regulation on subsequent memory control” (preregistered on Jan 14, 2020). Because of COVID-19 pandemic, we stopped data collection when we had 21 participants at University X, and thus did not reach our planned sample size, N=36. We now plan to start new data collection at University Y using a different EEG system, which lead to this new preregistration. Behavioral data collected from the prior, incomplete study (n=21) will be reported as pilot. Sample size will be determined based on a priori power analyses, using effect sizes calculated from this pilot study with n=21.

description: An ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF)-based mixed model (EnKF-MM) is proposed for the subgrid-scale (SGS) closure in the large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulence. The model coefficients are determined through the EnKF-based data assimilation technique. The direct numerical simulation (DNS) results are filtered to obtain the benchmark data for LES. Reconstructing the correct kinetic energy spectrum of the filtered DNS (fDNS) data has been adopted as the target for the EnKF to optimize the coefficient of the functional part in the mixed model. The proposed EnKF-MM framework is subsequently tested in the LES of both the incompressible homogeneous isotropic turbulence (HIT) and turbulent mixing layer (TML). The performance of LES is comprehensively examined through the predictions of the flow statistics including the velocity spectrum, the probability density functions (PDFs) of the SGS stress, the PDF of the strain rate and the PDF of the SGS energy flux. The structure functions, the evolution of turbulent kinetic energy, the mean flow and the Reynolds stress profile, and the iso-surface of the Q-criterion are also examined to evaluate the spatial-temporal predictions by different SGS models. The results of the EnKF-MM framework are consistently more satisfying compared to the traditional SGS models, including the dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM), the dynamic mixed model (DMM) and the velocity gradient model (VGM), demonstrating its great potential in the optimization of SGS models for LES of turbulence.

Year: 2014

description: Being one of the fast moving consumer good businesses Ambo Mineral Water Share Company has taken the role of distribution as one of its main focus to achieve its business objectives. The purpose of this research therefore, was to examine distribution management of Ambo Mineral Water Share Company and then identify weaknesses and challenges in its distribution practice. The methodology used was survey questionnaires, interview and secondary data from company's web site, data base, and brochure. The questionnaires were distributed to respondents selected randomly Descriptive research in the form of frequency distribution has been used and presented in graphs, tables and charts. In due course the research identified some key findings that affected distribution effectiveness in Ambo such as low work moral of its staffs, frequent truck and machine brake down, bad taste of products, bottle and crate shortage and poor distribution management practice in terms of selecting, motivating and controlling channel members in distribution. Finally the research has also put some recommendations such as putting in place preventing maintenance (PM) program for both distribution trucks and machinery, getting the right product at the right time, invest on bottles and crates, motivate own staff as well as all others players in the distribution network and apply a comprehensive distribution management that incorporates defining the distribution objective, design distribution structure, choosing the right distributors and managing them.
Stochastic timing in gene expression for simple regulatory strategies

description: Timing is essential for many cellular processes, from cellular responses to external stimuli to the cell cycle and circadian clocks. Many of these processes are based on gene expression. For example, an activated gene may be required to reach in a precise time a threshold level of expression that triggers a specific downstream process. However, gene expression is subject to stochastic fluctuations, naturally inducing an uncertainty in this threshold-crossing time with potential consequences on biological functions and phenotypes. Here, we consider such "timing fluctuations", and we ask how they can be controlled. Our analytical estimates and simulations show that, for an induced gene, timing variability is minimal if the threshold level of expression is approximately half of the steady-state level. Timing fuctuations can be reduced by increasing the transcription rate, while they are insensitive to the translation rate. In presence of self-regulatory strategies, we show that self-repression reduces timing noise for threshold levels that have to be reached quickly, while selfactivation is optimal at long times. These results lay a framework for understanding stochasticity of endogenous systems such as the cell cycle, as well as for the design of synthetic trigger circuits.
