description: Using a unique dataset containing gridded data on population densities, rents, housing sizes, and transportation in 192 cities worldwide, we investigate the empirical relevance of the monocentric standard urban model (SUM). Overall, the SUM seems surprisingly capable of capturing the inner structure of cities, both in developed and developing countries. As expected, cities spread out when they are richer, more populated, and when transportation or farmland is cheaper. Respectively 100% and 87% of the cities exhibit the expected negative density and rent gradients: on average, a 1% decrease in income net of transportation costs leads to a 21% decrease in densities and a 3% decrease in rents per m2. We also investigate the heterogeneity between cities of different characteristics in terms of monocentricity, informality, and amenities.

description: In this paper we provide an explicit construction of star products on U(g)-module algebras by using the Fedosov approach. This construction allows us to give a constructive proof to Drinfel'd theorem and to obtain a concrete formula for Drinfel'd twist. We prove that the equivalence classes of twists are in one-to-one correspondence with the second Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of the Lie algebra g. Finally, we show that for Lie algebras with Kähler structure we obtain a strongly positive universal deformation of *-algebras by using a Wick-type deformation. This results in a positive Drinfel'd twist.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Lack of career development after extensive experience & training in organizations is an area of great interest and concern. Lack of career development affects motivation and performance. However, how career development influences motivation is not well researched. The objective of this study is to assess the presence of career development practice, identify constraints to career development, and discover the effect of career development on staff motivation. The study adopted a descriptive and explanatory research design since the study intended to gather quantitative and qualitative data that describes the effect of career development on employee motivation in ethio telecom. The target population is the employees of ethio telecom working at Addis Ababa; this included both management and non-management. The study collected both primary and secondary data. Primary data has been gathered using semi-structured questionnaires where the respondents were issued with the questionnaires. The study carried out a pilot study to pretest and validates the questionnaire. Descriptive and explanatory analysis was used. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the data. This included percentages and frequencies. Tables and other graphical presentations were appropriately used to present the data that were collected for ease of understanding and analysis. The study revealed that among other things, low chances of promotion & a marked lack of opportunities regarding career paths was revealed. The study revealed that there is lack of recognition for skills and accomplishments, staff at levels do not benefit from career advancement. It was revealed, through the study, that the inflexible organizational structure, poor policies on promotion, and favoritism were responsible for lack of career advancement after the reform. The study identified setting clear and transparent policies on promotion and free and fair competition for promotion as a few of the strategies that could minimize constraints to career advancement. The study has recommended among other things, ethio telecom should avoid stagnation at some levels; and facilitate steady career progression by widening promotion opportunities and creating new openings for competent staff. Options include restructuring the organization, job enlargement or developing alternative career paths and making retirement much more attractive. Key words: Career Development, Motivation.

description: Let $M$ be a connected open Riemann surface. We prove that the space $\mathscr L(M,\mathbb C^{2n+1})$ of all holomorphic Legendrian immersions of $M$ into $\mathbb C^{2n+1}$, $n\geq 1$, endowed with the standard holomorphic contact structure, is weakly homotopy equivalent to the space $\mathscr C(M,\mathbb S^{4n-1})$ of continuous maps from $M$ to the sphere $\mathbb S^{4n-1}$. If $M$ has finite topological type, then these spaces are homotopy equivalent. We determine the homotopy groups of $\mathscr L(M,\mathbb C^{2n+1})$ in terms of the homotopy groups of $\mathbb S^{4n-1}$. It follows that $\mathscr L(M,\mathbb C^{2n+1})$ is $(4n-3)$-connected.

description: Police require voluntary cooperation from the general public to be effective in controlling crime and maintaining order. Research shows that citizens are more likely to comply and cooperate with police and obey the law when they view the police as legitimate. The most common pathway that the police use to increase citizen perceptions of legitimacy is through the use of procedural justice. Procedural justice, as described in the literature, comprises four essential components. These components are citizen participation in the proceedings prior to an authority reaching a decision (or voice), perceived neutrality of the authority in making the decision, whether or not the authority showed dignity and respect toward citizens throughout the interaction, and whether or not the authority conveyed trustworthy motives. Police departments throughout the world are implicitly and explicitly weaving the dialogue of these four principles of procedural justice (treating people with dignity and respect, giving citizens “voice” during encounters, being neutral in decision making, and conveying trustworthy motives) into their operational policing programs and interventions. This review synthesizes published and unpublished empirical evidence on the impact of interventions led by the public police to enhance citizen perceptions of police legitimacy. Our objective is to provide a systematic review of the direct and indirect benefits of policing approaches that foster legitimacy in policing that either report an explicit statement that the intervention sought to increase legitimacy or report that there was an application of at least one of the principles of procedural justice: participation, neutrality, dignity/respect, and trustworthy motives.

description: A Dyck sequence is a sequence of opening and closing parentheses (of various types) that is balanced. The Dyck edit distance of a given sequence of parentheses $S$ is the smallest number of edit operations (insertions, deletions, and substitutions) needed to transform $S$ into a Dyck sequence. We consider the threshold Dyck edit distance problem, where the input is a sequence of parentheses $S$ and a positive integer $k$, and the goal is to compute the Dyck edit distance of $S$ only if the distance is at most $k$, and otherwise report that the distance is larger than $k$. Backurs and Onak [PODS'16] showed that the threshold Dyck edit distance problem can be solved in $O(n+k^{16})$ time. In this work, we design new algorithms for the threshold Dyck edit distance problem which costs $O(n+k^{4.544184})$ time with high probability or $O(n+k^{4.853059})$ deterministically. Our algorithms combine several new structural properties of the Dyck edit distance problem, a refined algorithm for fast $(\min,+)$ matrix product, and a careful modification of ideas used in Valiant's parsing algorithm.

description: Quantum hypothesis testing is one of the most basic tasks in quantum information theory and has fundamental links with quantum communication and estimation theory. In this paper, we establish a formula that characterizes the decay rate of the minimal Type-II error probability in a quantum hypothesis test of two Gaussian states given a fixed constraint on the Type-I error probability. This formula is a direct function of the mean vectors and covariance matrices of the quantum Gaussian states in question. We give an application to quantum illumination, which is the task of determining whether there is a low-reflectivity object embedded in a target region with a bright thermal-noise bath. For the asymmetric-error setting, we find that a quantum illumination transmitter can achieve an error probability exponent stronger than a coherent-state transmitter of the same mean photon number, and furthermore, that it requires far fewer trials to do so. This occurs when the background thermal noise is either low or bright, which means that a quantum advantage is even easier to witness than in the symmetric-error setting because it occurs for a larger range of parameters. Going forward from here, we expect our formula to have applications in settings well beyond those considered in this paper, especially to quantum communication tasks involving quantum Gaussian channels.

Fatliquor Product Development from Vernonia galamensis Seed Oil via Modified Sulphitation Process
Creators: name: Gebeyehu, Senait
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Fatliquor is one of the most important chemical used in leather processing industry. It is currently imported with foreign currency. This research showed the potential of locally available raw material vernonia galamensis seed oil for production of sulphited fatliquor, which will potentially substitute the imported vegetable oil sulphited fatliquor. 4.5 liter purified Vernonia oil was obtained from 22 kg Vernonia seed. FAME is prepared from vernonia oil with 85% yield. The sulphited fatliquor was synthesized using vernonia oil, FAME and concentrated sodium bisulphite solution. The process involves preparation of seed, extraction and purification of oil, preparation of FAME and 40% by weight sodium bisulphite solution, oxidation of mixture of vernonia oil and FAME, sulphitation of the mixture with sodium bisulphite, washing excess sodium bisulphite and finally drying the sulphited fatliquor. Design-Expert 7.0.0 three-level-three-factor face-centered CCD was applied for experimental design and statistical analysis of results. A total of 20 experiments were conducted at conditions of reaction temperature 60, 65 and 700C, amount of sodium bisulphite solution 20, 30 and 40% and 10, 12.5 and 15 h reaction time. From the analysis of experimental results the interaction effects were studied and the optimal sulphitation reaction process conditions, which will maximize the degree of sulphitation, were found to be 700C reaction temperature, 30% amount of sodium bisulphite and 12.5 h reaction time which gave 3.36% degree of sulphitation. The physicochemical characterization of the synthesized fatliquor and the visual and physical properties test on the fatliquored leather met the IS 14488 and BASF specification respectively. From the preliminary feasibility study for 2750 kg/day capacity Sulphited fatliquor production plant, Birr 40.95 million TCI is required. The unit product cost was estimated 28.85 Birr. The project was financially feasible with 51.6% RORI, Birr 66.16 million NPV, 2 years and 4 months payback period, 2.6 profitability index and 42% IRR.

description: This dissertation contributes to the discussion on financial stability and regulation in the form of five independent articles that empirically explore different facets of systemic risk of banks and insurers. An overview and motivation is given in chapter one. In chapter two, systemic risk for an international panel of insurers is empirically investigated using three prominent measures of systemic risk proposed in the literature as dependent variables in panel regressions. These analyses employ key indicators of systemic relevance suggested by regulators including insurers’ size, leverage, and interconnectedness. The third chapter is a follow-up study to the first analysis and explores the methodology of regulators to detect systemically important financial institutions. Chapter four is dedicated to the relation of stock performance and differences in regulation and supervision of banks around the world. Chapter five of the dissertation introduces two measures of individual and market-level “crisis sentiment” and analyzes its impact on insurer stock prices. Finally, the analyses in chapter six make use of internet search volume data on the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to proxy for the attention and knowledge of U.S. depositors on deposit insurance schemes. This empirical study investigates whether bank deposit withdrawals are mainly driven by sentiment and attention to deposit insurance rather than bank fundamentals.

description: The success and failure of organization depends to the extent as to know how much efficient, experienced and capable employee are procured and recruited. The purpose of this study was to assess recruitment and selection practice in Ethiopian Electric power enterprise. The study used both quantitative and qualitative approach and employed descriptive research design to objectively answer the research questions. For achieving the study objective, 184 sample respondents were selected through simple random sampling technique. Accordingly, data were collected through self administered Questionnaire and interview from sample respondents. Out of 184 respondents, workable data were obtained from 179 respondents. The study found that newspaper is the only recruitment EEP does not consider other methods, there is no proper planning for recruitment and selection processes and there is a very long delay in filling the vacant position and also there is lack of transparence in selection criteria and process .Planning is key for effective Human resource management. Every problem identified in this study occurred due to lack of proper planning. Generally the practices of recruitment and selection were characterized with lots of problems. The study suggested that EEP should haves proper strategic plan for recruitment and selection, conduct internal HR and cost benefit analysis for each recruitment and selection methods and tools and to use online recruitment and selection.
Phosphoinositide-binding molecules as potential multifunctional anticancer, anti-infective and immunomodulatory therapeutics

Multidrug resistance and adverse off-target toxicity of current therapeutics have urgently called for less toxic, more effective and multifaceted therapeutics with new modes of action. Furthermore, owing to the emerging pathological association between cancer and microbial infection, there is also expectation for combinatorial anticancer and antiinfective agents, especially for patients suffering infective agent-induced malignancies or immunocompromised anticancer treatments. As phosphoinositides (PIPs), which are minor, yet functionally important, cellular lipids, and their metabolising enzymes crucially control multiple stages of malignant transformation and microbial infection, they offer invaluable opportunities for therapeutic targeting. Based on previous findings on a novel PIP-binding motif present in antifungal solanaceous plant defensins and on PIP-binding aminoglycosidic antibiotics, this thesis aimed to: (i) identify candidates that bind PIPs, particularly phosphatidylinositol 4,5- bisphopsphate [PI(4,5)P2], and display antimicrobial as well as anticancer activity through aminoglycoside testing, computational search for plant defensin-like or HBD-2-like cationic patterns, and PI(4,5)P2 bead pull-down using human hematological samples; (ii) investigate the role of PIPs and elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying the anticancer properties of a potential candidate, and (iii) determine the immunological effects, particularly ones governed by PI(4,5)P2 signalling, of the selected candidate. The study revealed an arsenal of potential PI(4,5)P2-binding proteins with speculative anticancer an antimicrobial activities. It also provides mechanistic and structural insights to lipid/PI(4,5)P2 targeting on mammalian plasma membranes, particularly in PI(4,5)P2- mediated cancer cell permeabilisation. Furthermore, it enriches the knowledge of PI(4,5)P2 and its signalling in immune response. Together, the knowledge acquired from this study would ultimately contribute to the exploration of PIP-binding molecules with anticancer, antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects as a new generation of multifaceted therapeutics.

description: The optical properties of KCa$_{2}$Fe$_{4}$As$_{4}$F$_{2}$ (K12442, $T_c = 33.5$~K) and KCa$_{2}$(Fe$_{0.95}$Ni$_{0.05}$)$_{4}$As$_{4}$F$_{2}$ (Ni-K12442, $T_c = 29$~K) have been examined at a large number of temperatures. For both samples, a nodeless superconducting gap is clearly observed in the optical conductivity at 5~K. The superconducting gap $Δ\simeq 8.7$~meV ($2Δ/k_{\text{B}}T_{c} \simeq 6.03$) in K12442, pointing towards strong-coupling Cooper pairs, but in sharp contrast, $Δ\simeq 4.6$~meV ($2Δ/k_{\text{B}}T_{c} \simeq 3.68$) in Ni-K12442, which agrees with the BCS weak-coupling pairing state. More intriguingly, below $T^{\ast} \simeq 75$~K, the optical conductivity of K12442 reveals a pseudogap that smoothly evolves into the superconducting gap below $T_{c}$, while no such behavior is detected in the electron-doped Ni-K12442. The comparison between the two samples hints that the pseudogap and strong-coupling Cooper pairs in K12442 may be intimately related to the shallow and incipient bands. We provide arguments supporting a preformed pairing mechanism of the pseudogap, but at the moment a magnetic scenario can not yet be excluded.

description: We introduce end-to-end support of co-existing schema versions within one database. While it is state of the art to run multiple versions of a continuously developed application concurrently, it is hard to do the same for databases. In order to keep multiple co-existing schema versions alive; which are all accessing the same data set; developers usually employ handwritten delta code (e.g. views and triggers in SQL). This delta code is hard to write and hard to maintain: if a database administrator decides to adapt the physical table schema, all handwritten delta code needs to be adapted as well, which is expensive and error-prone in practice. In this paper, we present InVerDa: developers use the simple bidirectional database evolution language BiDEL, which carries enough information to generate all delta code automatically. Without additional effort, new schema versions become immediately accessible and data changes in any version are visible in all schema versions at the same time. InVerDa also allows for easily changing the physical table design without affecting the availability of co-existing schema versions. This greatly increases robustness (orders of magnitude less lines of code) and allows for significant performance optimization. A main contribution is the formal evaluation that each schema version acts like a common full-fledged database schema independently of the chosen physical table design.

description: We analyze in detail the spatial distribution and kinematic properties of two different stellar populations in Andromeda II (And II) dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We obtained their detailed surface density maps, together with their radial density profiles. The two populations differ not only in age and metallicity, but also in their spatial distribution and kinematics. Old stars ($\gtrsim 11$ Gyr) follow a round distribution well fitted by truncated density profiles. These stars rotate around the projected optical major axis of the galaxy with line-of-sight velocities $v_{los}(r_h) = 16 \pm 3$ km s$^{-1}$ and a velocity gradient of $2.06 \pm 0.21$ km s$^{-1}$ arcmin$^{-1}$. Intermediate-age stars ($\lesssim 9$ Gyr) concentrate in the centre of the galaxy and form an elongated structure extending along the projected optical major axis. This structure appears to rotate with a velocity gradient of $2.24 \pm 0.22$ km s$^{-1}$ arcmin$^{-1}$, and around the optical minor axis. The centres of rotation and kinetic position angles (PA$_{\rm kin}$) of both populations differ. For intermediate-age stars we obtained PA$_{\rm kin} = 18^\circ \pm 2^\circ$ and for the old ones PA$_{\rm kin} = 63^\circ \pm 3^\circ$ in good agreement with photometric PA measured from isopleths fitted to the photometry. We conclude that the two stellar populations may not be fully relaxed and thus be the result of a merger occurred at redshift $z\sim 1.75$.

description: We study the parallel transport of modular Hamiltonians encoding entanglement properties of a state. In the case of 2d CFT, we consider a change of state through action with a suitable diffeomorphism on the circle: one that diagonalizes the adjoint action of the modular Hamiltonian. These vector fields exhibit kinks at the interval boundary, thus together with their central extension they differ from usual elements of the Virasoro algebra. The Berry curvature associated to state-changing parallel transport is the Kirillov-Kostant symplectic form on an associated coadjoint orbit, one which differs appreciably from known Virasoro orbits. We find that the boundary parallel transport process computes a bulk symplectic form for a Euclidean geometry obtained from the backreaction of a cosmic brane, with Dirichlet boundary conditions at the location of the brane. We propose that this gives a reasonable definition for the symplectic form on an entanglement wedge.

description: The Kondo effect is a universal phenomena observed in a variety of fermion systems containing a heavy impurity particle whose interaction is governed by the non-Abelian interaction. At extremely high density, I study the Kondo effect by color exchange in quark matter containing a single heavy (charm or bottom) quark as an impurity particle. To obtain the ground state with the Kondo effect, I introduce the condensate mixing the light quark and the heavy quark (Kondo cloud) in the mean-field approximation. I estimate the energy gain by formation of the Kondo cloud, and present that the Kondo cloud exhibits the resonant structure. I also evaluate the scattering cross section for the light quark and the heavy quark, and discuss its effect to the finite size quark matter.

description: Corn starch was extracted from local corn (Melkasa-2) obtained from Melkasa Agricultural Research Center. And this extracted corn starch synthesized by the reaction of corn starch with acetic anhydride in the presence of acetic acid under varying reaction temperature and time. The result was with different value of degree of substitution (minimum DS= 0.26 and maximum DS=2.38) and different value acetyl percent (minimum Ac=6.45 and maximum Ac=43.29). The effects of temperature and time on acetylated modified corn starch were that as time and temperature increase the acetyl percentage and degree of substitute also increase. The Infrared spectrophotometer was demonstrated that the spectra of acetylated modified corn starch and the standard corn starch (commercially available pharmaceutical grade) had similar chromatogram or finger print. The swelling power and solubility of acetylated modified corn starch was higher than that of native starch. The moisture content (5.78%) was also in the range of commercially available(NMT 15%) and also other physicochemical property like sulphated ash (0.198%), bulk density of normal (0.725) and acetylated modified (0.726) corn starch was not significant, and also the water binding capacity (WBC) g/g of native starch is higher than of acetylated modified corn starches. All the above chemical and physicochemical property of acetylated modified corn starch parameter fulfilled the criteria of commercially available pharmaceutical grade starch. From the above result it is conclude that its possible to prepare pharmaceutical acetylated corn starch. Key words: Acetylated modified corn starch

description: The government of Ethiopia has given a great attention for establishment of chemical industries since 2011. The establishments of this chemical industry begin with coal based urea plant with an integration of a 90MW coal based thermal power plant for electric source. This power plant produces 75,000 ton per annum of coal ash as a waste during the production process. Using this ash, as raw material is an enormous opportunity both for cement and thermal power industries to reduce their environmental impact. The aim of the research is to stress the characterization and optimum utilization of coal ash as additive for blended cement production. In this study coal sample was collected from Yayu and burned at home to get ash. The characteristics of coal ash and cement raw materials were investigated by classical and analytical testing methods. 15 types of blended cements having a solid residue of ≤ 10, (10-16], and (16-20]% on 45μm sieve were produced by inter-grinding of coal ash, clinker and gypsum in laboratory ball mill, with the clinker replacement levels of 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40% by mass. The performance of the cements was evaluated by conducting the following tests: setting time, soundness and compressive strength. The results showed that Yayu coal ashes possess sufficient pozzolanic characteristics to be used in production of blended cement, and the optimum clinker replacement level by this ash can range between 20-25% by mass. Key words: setting time, soundness, compressive strength, pozzolanic, coal ash, blended cement,
Flavor origin of dark matter and its relation with leptonic nonzero $θ_{13}$ and Dirac CP phase $δ$

description: We propose a minimal extension of the standard model by including a $U(1)$ flavor symmetry to establish a correlation between the relic abundance of dark matter, measured by WMAP and PLANCK satellite experiments and non-zero value of $\sin θ_{13}$ observed at DOUBLE CHOOZ, Daya Bay, RENO and T2K. The flavour symmetry is allowed to be broken at a high scale to a remnant $\mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry, which not only ensures the stability to the dark matter, but also gives rise to a modification to the existing $A_4$-based tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing. This deviation in turn suggests the required non-zero value of $\sin θ_{13}$. We assume the dark matter to be neutral under the existing $A_4$ symmetry while charged under the $U(1)$ flavor symmetry. Hence in this set-up, the non-zero value of $\sin θ_{13}$ predicts the dark matter charge under $U(1)$, which can be tested at various ongoing and future direct and collider dark matter search experiments. We also point out the involvement of nonzero leptonic CP phase $δ$, which plays an important role in the analysis.

Machine learning to identify pathways in Parkinson Disease?

description: Despite the increasing prevalence of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and research efforts to understand its underlying molecular pathogenesis, early diagnosis of PD remains a challenge. Machine learning analysis of blood-based omics data is a promising non-invasive approach to finding molecular fingerprints associated with PD that may enable an early and accurate diagnosis.

 We applied several machine learning classification methods to public omics data from PD case/control studies. We used aggregation statistics and Pathifier’s pathway deregulation scores to generate higher order functional representations of the data such as pathway-level features. The models’ performance and most relevant predictive features were compared with individual feature level predictors.
 The resulting diagnostic models from individual features and Pathifier’s pathway deregulation scores achieve significant Area Under the Curve (AUC, a receiver operating characteristic curve) scores for both cross-validation and external testing. Furthermore, we identify plausible biological pathways associated with PD diagnosis.

 We have successfully built machine learning models at pathway-level and single-feature level to study blood-based omics data for PD diagnosis. Plausible biological pathway associations were identified. Furthermore, we show that pathway deregulation scores can serve as robust and biologically interpretable predictors for PD.

 The outlook for the future is to look at different prognosis outcomes such as motor impairments or cognitive decline, and to use graph-based methods such as graph neural networks and signal processing techniques to leverage the interactions among molecules in the modelling phase, which may increase the performance of our classifiers and/or reveal further insights into the pathology of Parkinson's Disease.
