description: By using direct numerical simulations (DNS) at unprecedented resolution we study turbulence under rotation in the presence of simultaneous direct and inverse cascades. The accumulation of energy at large scale leads to the formation of vertical coherent regions with high vorticity oriented along the rotation axis. By seeding the flow with millions of inertial particles, we quantify -for the first time- the effects of those coherent vertical structures on the preferential concentration of light and heavy particles. Furthermore, we quantitatively show that extreme fluctuations, leading to deviations from a normal-distributed statistics, result from the entangled interaction of the vertical structures with the turbulent background. Finally, we present the first-ever measurement of the relative importance between Stokes drag, Coriolis force and centripetal forces along the trajectories of inertial particles. We discover that vortical coherent structures lead to unexpected diffusion properties for heavy and light particles in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the rotation axis.
The Impact of Government Spending on Economic Growth: The Case of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Ketema, Teshome
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2006

description: The objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of government spending on economic growth in Ethiopia. Since the link between government spending and economic growth is complex, both analytical (qualitative) explanations and econometric analysis are used in the study. The descriptive and qualitative analysis of the study investigates that the limited revenue buoyancy, unreliable source of financing, imprudent fiscal policy (particularly in the derg regime) and capacity deficiency have limited the role of government expenditure, as fiscal instrument, in stimulating economic growth. Although the rate of growth of expenditure as a ratio of GDP has been increasing consistently over time, its absolute per capita magnitude is too low, even compared to Sub-Saharan African countries. Thus, there is a need to increase government expenditure and to effectively and efficiently utilizing it in a way it induce faster economic growth. The need for increasing government expenditure is also evident in an effort towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This calls for, in general, non destortionary and reliable source of revenue, capacity building, and restraining expenditure that can be efficiently provided by private sector. In the econometric analysis effort has been made to see the impact of various components of government spending (investment, consumption and human capital expenditures) on the growth of real GDP for the period 1960/61-2003/04 using Johanson Maximum Likelihood Estimation procedure. It is found that only expenditure on human capital have long-run significant positive impact. Investment (productive) government spending displays a negative but insignificant impact on growth of real GDP, which again reveals the inefficiency and poor quality nature of public investment. In the short run, all components of government expenditure do not have significant meaning in explaining economic growth.

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

description: Electric traction systems generate various power quality problems that have a negative impact on its distribution network. Poor power quality affects the performance of the train and introduces a problem in the distribution network. Power quality is the main issues in electrical railway systems. In this thesis Static VAR Compensator and Harmonic Filters are modeled and simulated using a Matlab/Simulink environment of Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit Systems. The analysis is performed on the St.Yoseph traction substation. The electrical parameters are taken from Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit phase I project of Ethiopian Railway Corporation. Simulation is carried out and results are compared with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard limits. Static Var Compensator and Harmonic Filter are designed, modeled and simulated using Matlab/ Simulink. The simulation result at Point of Common Coupling for train full load shows that a Total Harmonic Distortion is reduced from 16.38% to 0.36% for current and Total Harmonic Distortion is reduced from 6.99% to 0.26% for voltage in worst scenario, which is below 5% limits of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard. In addition to that the system power factor is improved from 0.94 to 0.98.

description: Magnetic field can penetrate into type-II superconductors in the form of Abrikosov vortices, which are magnetic flux tubes surrounded by circulating supercurrents often trapped at defects referred to as pinning sites. Although the average properties of the vortex matter can be tuned with magnetic fields, temperature or electric currents, handling of individual vortices remains challenging and has been demonstrated only with sophisticated magnetic force, superconducting quantum interference device or strain-induced scanning local probe microscopies. Here, we introduce a far-field optical method based on local heating of the superconductor with a focused laser beam to realize a fast, precise and non-invasive manipulation of individual Abrikosov vortices, in the same way as with optical tweezers. This simple approach provides the perfect basis for sculpting the magnetic flux profile in superconducting devices like a vortex lens or a vortex cleaner, without resorting to static pinning or ratchet effects. Since a single vortex can induce a Josephson phase shift, our method also paves the way to fast optical drive of Josephson junctions, with potential massive parallelization of operations.

description: We study the dynamics of a driven optomechanical cavity coupled to a charged nanomechanical resonator via Coulomb interaction. We find the tunable switch between slow-and fast- light in double-mode can be observed from the output field by adjusting the laser-cavity detuning in this coupled system. Moreover, the requencies of signal light can be tuned by Coulomb coupling strength. The proposal may have potential application in optical communcation and nonlinear optics.

Dynamic Comparison of Conventional Ballasted Track Versus Ballasted Ladder Track
Creators: name: Mengistu, Wondimu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: In railway transport system there is a continuous demand for railway capacity enhancement. In order to meet the demands in many countries more axle load and higher speed of the train is applied. As a result of these the track responses are becoming big issues that have a great effect on track service. Therefore to develop and utilize appropriate tracks that cover relevant vibration effect, it is necessary to critically analyze and comparatively describing dynamic response of the tracks. The main purpose of this research is to study and compare dynamic response of ballasted ladder and conventional ballasted of railway tracks by using finite element method. Both tracks are completely different depends on rail support system. Ladder track is continuous support system while conventional ballasted track is discrete support system. Depending on structural nature of tracks, both of tracks have been simulated in two dimensional finite elements by using commercial software Abaqus. Rail is considered as a solid element on discrete support in a conventional ballasted track while in the ballasted ladder track as continuous support system. Spring and dashpot has been used for the simulation of railpads and ballast. In the model dynamic explicit analysis has been used for the simulation of a moving load and Eigen frequencies and corresponding vibration modes were extracted from both of the models. Finally by using simulation output, dynamic responses of both of tracks are compared in terms of time and frequency domain. Dynamic responses of both tracks are relatively compared and found that the ballasted ladder track under different speed has lower vibration responses than conventional ballasted track, even if its level of responses at different frequency range is not the same. On contrary, conventional ballasted track shows higher vibration responses irrespective of frequency range. Ballasted ladder track at higher frequency range effectively reduce vibration of track components more than conventional ballasted track. However, at very low frequency range there is no great difference observed. In general the simulations indicate that the ballasted ladder track is effective in reducing vibration at high speed and frequency. Finally this thesis indicates the possible extensive comparative study of dynamics of both tracks by improving the assumption and the modeling approach applied in this research.

description: We present the discovery of a hot-Jupiter transiting the V=9.23 mag main-sequence A-star KELT-17 (BD+14 1881). KELT-17b is a 1.31 -0.29/+0.28 Mj, 1.525 -0.060/+0.065 Rj hot-Jupiter in a 3.08 day period orbit misaligned at -115.9 +/- 4.1 deg to the rotation axis of the star. The planet is confirmed via both the detection of the radial velocity orbit, and the Doppler tomographic detection of the shadow of the planet over two transits. The nature of the spin-orbit misaligned transit geometry allows us to place a constraint on the level of differential rotation in the host star; we find that KELT-17 is consistent with both rigid-body rotation and solar differential rotation rates (alpha < 0.30 at 2 sigma significance). KELT-17 is only the fourth A-star with a confirmed transiting planet, and with a mass of 1.635 -0.061/+0.066 Msun, effective temperature of 7454 +/- 49 K, and projected rotational velocity v sin I_* = 44.2 -1.3/+1.5 km/s; it is amongst the most massive, hottest, and most rapidly rotating of known planet hosts.

Year: 2016

description: We discuss motions of extended bodies in Kerr spacetime by using Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations. We firstly solve the conditions for circular orbits, and calculate the orbital frequency shift due to the mass quadrupoles. The results show that we need not consider the spin-induced quadrupoles in extreme-mass-ratio inspirals for spatial gravitational wave detectors. We quantitatively investigate the temporal variation of rotational velocity of the extended body due to the coupling of quadrupole and background gravitational field. For generic orbits, we numerically integrate the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations for evolving the motion of an extended body orbiting a Kerr black hole. By comparing with the monopole-dipole approximation, we reveal the influences of quadrupole moments of extended bodies on the orbital motion and chaotic dynamics of extreme-mass-ratio systems. We do not find any chaotic orbits for the extended bodies with physical spins and spin-induced quadrupoles. Possible implications for gravitational wave detection and pulsar timing observation are outlined.

Assessment of Clinical Decision Making Among Nurses Working in Hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2017
Creators: name: Negash, Fikirte
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background: - Decision making at clinical level is the way in which nurses perceived to arrive at appropriate decisions in practical nursing situations. And these decisions have a direct impact on the health status of the patients, poor clinical reasoning skill leads to increasing numbers of adverse patient outcomes. Nurses are required to make decisions with multiple foci for example, diagnosis, intervention, interaction and evaluation in dynamic contexts, using a diverse knowledge base decisional pattern. However, inability to recognize clinical situation is the major cause of errors in decisions. Objectives: - To assess nurse's clinical decision making approach in hospital settings, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2017. Methods: - Institution based cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 390 nurses. To determine the sample size a single proportional formula was used. Self-administered English version questionnaire (theoretical framework developing instrument by Lauri and Sanna Salanterä, included Hammond's CCT) was used. The instrument used to investigate nurses' clinical decision making patterns at clinical practice level. To explain study population in relation to relevant variables, descriptive statistics like: frequencies and percentages were calculated. Multi nominal logistic regression was used to show the association between CDM and associated factors among nurses. Permission was obtained from IRB. Information obtained from participants was kept secured and confidential. Result: Clinical decision making score in this study ranges from 46 to 82 (mean = 65.5, SD = 4.5). Two hundred sixty two (67.2%) of the participant scored in analytical decision making category. One hundred twenty five of respondents (32.1%) scored in the category of quasi decision making which is a combination of both analytic and intuitive decision making process. Out of the total 390 respondents only three (0.8%) of them categorized as using intuitive decision making method when dealing with patient. Organizational type/private sectors (p=0.021), clinical simulation (P=0.031) and ICU department (P=0.025) were factors associated with clinical decision making Conclusion and recommendation: This study found that there was clinical nurses inclination to the use of analytical decision making to the most part, So, health delivery organizations to encourage nurses in particular clinical situation enable them to make decision that is timely and accurate as possible and also the use of quasi rational decision making method in there day today nursing practice with only a very few of them making intuitive decision making method. Organizational type (private sector), clinical simulation and ICU department were factors associated with CDM. Keys Words: - Clinical decision making, Nurses, Intuition, and Analytical, Quasi-rational.

description: The QCD axion is an hypothetical particle introduced to solve the strong CP problem of standard model of particle physics and is of interest as a possible component of cold dark matter. In the axion scenario, J.E. Moody and F. Wilczek showed that a new macroscopic long-range force, mediated by axion exchange, acts on electron spins, and that such force can be described in terms of an effective magnetic field. The QUAX-g$_p$g$_s$ experiment, carried out at INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro, is designed to search for the effects on magnetized samples of the effective field produced by unpolarized mass sources. As this field is macroscopic, it can be detected by measuring the change of magnetization of a paramagnetic Gadolinium silicate (GSO) crystal cooled at liquid helium temperature. The axion effective field induced magnetization can be detected with a SQUID magnetometer. By varying the position of the of source masses, the induced GSO magnetization is modulated at acoustic frequencies. Although the full QUAX-g$_p$g$_s$ sensitivity has not been yet exploited, we are able to measure a magnetization of $10^{-17}~$T at few tens of Hz. With this sensitivity we expect to further improve the upper limit of the coupling of the predicted long-range force in the $10^{-3}$ to $1~$m interval.

description: GIARPS (GIAno & haRPS) is a project devoted to have on the same focal station of the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) both the high resolution spectrographs HARPS-N (VIS) and GIANO (NIR) working simultaneously. This could be considered the first and unique worldwide instrument providing cross-dispersed echelle spectroscopy at a high resolution (R=115,000 in the visual and R=50,000 in the IR) and over in a wide spectral range (0.383 - 2.45 micron) in a single exposure. The science case is very broad, given the versatility of such an instrument and the large wavelength range. A number of outstanding science cases encompassing mainly extra-solar planet science starting from rocky planet search and hot Jupiters, atmosphere characterization can be considered. Furthermore both instrument can measure high precision radial velocity by means the simultaneous thorium technique (HARPS - N) and absorbing cell technique (GIANO) in a single exposure. Other science cases are also possible. Young stars and proto-planetary disks, cool stars and stellar populations, moving minor bodies in the solar system, bursting young stellar objects, cataclysmic variables and X-ray binary transients in our Galaxy, supernovae up to gamma-ray bursts in the very distant and young Universe, can take advantage of the unicity of this facility both in terms of contemporaneous wide wavelength range and high resolution spectroscopy.

description: Colorectal cancer is the third most common and second deadliest cancer globally, necessitating new therapies. Combining two immunotherapies, tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and oncolytic viruses, shows promise in improving patient outcomes. While showing promise in select solid cancers, TIL therapy has been limited due to the scarcity of tumour-specific lymphocytes within the tumour. Preliminary studies have shown that oncolytic virus pre-administration increases the number of antitumour lymphocytes within the tumour that can be harvested for adoptive cell therapy. Using an MC38 colorectal tumour model in C57BL/6 mice, we determined the impact of oncolytic viruses on TILs that can be harvested for adoptive cell therapy. The relationship between oncolytic virus pre-administration and TIL composition was characterized using flow cytometry, immune assays, and adoptive cell therapy studies. Oncolytic virus-induced TILs showed greater tumour-specificity and promoted greater antitumour control. Our approach would increase the capacity for TIL therapy to be used in the treatment of more types of solid tumours, including colorectal cancer.

description: Background: Occupational stress and job satisfaction are reported to be interrelated. Occupational stress has been reported to affect job satisfaction among nurses, thus compromising nursing care and placing patients' lives at risk. Nursing has been identified and reported by a number of studies as a stressful occupation. Occupational stress is a serious condition for nursing professionals that is directly associated with impaired and inappropriate performance and working within clinical settings. The low job satisfaction among nurses results negative outcome that affect both quality and cost of patient care. Objective: To assess the level of occupational stress, job satisfaction and associated factors among nurses in East Gojjam Zone Public hospitals Northwest Ethiopia 2016. Method: Institutional based Cross-sectional study design was used. Sampling method was simple random sampling and data was collected from March 8 to 23, 2016. Source population of the study were all nurses who work at public hospitals in East Gojjam zone public hospitals and sample size was 181 nurses from the four hospitals. After nurses were proportionally allocated to size from the four hospitals. Data were collected through pretested self administered structured questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to present the data Results: Among the study participants 102(57.3%) of nurses were occupationally stressful. workload subscale was the most sources of stress for nurses.Sex and work experience of respondents were significantly associated with occupational stress. Overall average prevalence rate of job satisfaction of this study was 54.2%, which was at moderate level. The most highly satisfied subscale for study participants was nature of work. There was a significance mean difference of job satisfaction between age groups, between sex of respondents and between nurses who had children and nurses who had no children. Conclusion and Recommendation: More than half of the nurses were occupationally stressful. The average job satisfaction of nurses was at moderate level. There was a very weak negative but none significant correlation between occupational stress and job satisfaction .The Amhara regional health bureau and study hospitals should develop stress reduction management programs and financial and non financial benefit packages should be balanced to increase job satisfaction among nurses.

description: In this paper, we investigate the possibility of improvement of the widely-used filtering algorithm for the linear constraints in constraint satisfaction problems in the presence of the alldifferent constraints. In many cases, the fact that the variables in a linear constraint are also constrained by some alldifferent constraints may help us to calculate stronger bounds of the variables, leading to a stronger constraint propagation. We propose an improved filtering algorithm that targets such cases. We provide a detailed description of the proposed algorithm and prove its correctness. We evaluate the approach on five different problems that involve combinations of the linear and the alldifferent constraints. We also compare our algorithm to other relevant approaches. The experimental results show a great potential of the proposed improvement.

description: To evaluate the feasibility of measuring differences in bulk composition among carbonaceous meteorite parent bodies from an asteroid or comet orbiter, we present the results of a performance simulation of an orbital gamma-ray spectroscopy ("GRS") experiment in a Dawn-like orbit around spherical model asteroids with a range of carbonaceous compositions. The orbital altitude was held equal to the asteroid radius for 4.5 months. Both the asteroid gamma-ray spectrum and the spacecraft background flux were calculated using the MCNPX Monte-Carlo code. GRS is sensitive to depths below the optical surface (to ~20--50 cm depth depending on material density). This technique can therefore measure underlying compositions beneath a sulfur-depleted (e.g., Nittler et al. 2001) or desiccated surface layer. We find that 3σ uncertainties of under 1 wt% are achievable for H, C, O, Si, S, Fe, and Cl for five carbonaceous meteorite compositions using the heritage Mars Odyssey GRS design in a spacecraft- deck-mounted configuration at the Odyssey end-of-mission energy resolution, FWHM = 5.7 keV at 1332 keV. The calculated compositional uncertainties are smaller than the compositional differences between carbonaceous chondrite subclasses.

description: As pesquisas com a temática da Educação Antirracista têm alcançado destaque a partir da Lei 10.639/2003, uma vez que as discussões acerca do racismo na Educação Básica têm sido uma pauta necessária. Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar um panorama das pesquisas realizadas sobre este tema e publicadas no período compreendido entre os anos de 2003 e 2021. Para tanto, no mês de junho do ano de 2021 foi realizada uma busca no Portal de Periódicos da CAPES de artigos com os descritores “Educação Básica”, “Educação Antirracista”, “Lei 10.639/2003, “História da África” e “Racismo Estrutural”. Foram identificados 865 artigos. Após a leitura de todos os títulos, foram selecionados 11 para análise, os quais, em cada descritor, relacionavam-se com a temática da Educação Antirracista. Verificou-se uma crescente nos números das pesquisas que envolvem estes descritores e o interesse em compreender a implementação da referida lei no contexto educacional como uma política de afirmação e reparação pleiteada por muito tempo pelo Movimento Negro brasileiro. Verificou-se, também, o importante papel da formação de professores em serviço para a constituição de seu desenvolvimento profissional e de seu papel na efetivação de uma educação, de fato, antirracista.

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: The discovery of binary and triple asteroids in addition to the execution of space missions to minor celestial bodies in the past several years have focused increasing attention on periodic orbits around irregular-shaped celestial bodies. In the present work, we adopt a polyhedron shape model for providing an accurate representation of irregular-shaped bodies, and employ the model to calculate their corresponding gravitational and effective potentials. We also investigate the characteristics of periodic orbit families and the continuation of periodic orbits. We prove a fact, which provides a conserved quantity that permits restricting the number of periodic orbits in a fixed energy curved surface about an irregular-shaped body. The collisions of Floquet multipliers are maintained during the continuation of periodic orbits around the comet 1P/Halley. Multiple bifurcations in the periodic orbit families about irregular-shaped bodies are also discussed. Three bifurcations in the periodic orbit family have been found around the asteroid 216 Kleopatra, which include two real saddle bifurcations and one period-doubling bifurcation.

Train Operation System Development For Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit
Creators: name: Befikadu, Diro
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: This research paper mainly deals with the train operation system development for railway transport of Addis Ababa LRT. The prime justification for the introduction of a Light Rail System in Addis Ababa is the provision of major improvements to public transport in the city, particularly with reference to greatly increased carrying capacity, reduced pollution and improved the service of operation. To achieve this, system analysis approach is presented for the investigation of train operations in railway stations and routes based on demand, network, timetable (train schedule), and rolling stock and crew analysis data. Network and train schedule analysis are the main focus of this paper which are solved using a simulation model programmer language Arena5. The simulation model is formulated in the way that it represents the appropriate actual working system of the Addis Ababa LRT. For the constructed simulation model, the "Program" is well made and run. The simulation model combines the two routes together and the number of waiting time result shows the stations operations are busy from Lideta to Meskel Square including the route between both stations where the two routes separate to east and south lines. Therefore, these route and stations are the bottle neck of the Addis Ababa LRT corridors. Testing the real operation by simulation, Delay minimization and resource utilization, waiting time for each station and the route bottle neck identification are the major output of the research. This research is done depending on the actual data for the Addis Ababa light rail transit and its application is more for the future operation coming soon. Finally, the operation data are verified and the simulation model output is valid.

description: We present a spectropolarimetric snapshot survey of solar-type planet hosting stars. In addition to 14 planet-hosting stars observed as part of the BCool magnetic snapshot survey, we obtained magnetic observations of a further 19 planet-hosting solar-type stars in order to see if the presence of close-in planets had an effect on the measured surface magnetic field (|B$_{\ell}$|). Our results indicate that the magnetic activity of this sample is congruent with that of the overall BCool sample. The effects of the planetary systems on the magnetic activity of the parent star, if any, are too subtle to detect compared to the intrinsic dispersion and correlations with rotation, age and stellar activity proxies in our sample. Four of the 19 newly observed stars, two of which are subgiants, have unambiguously detected magnetic fields and are future targets for Zeeman Doppler Mapping.

description: We present a comprehensive study of synthesis, structure analysis, transport and thermodynamic properties of the C14 Laves phase Ta(Fe1-xVx)2. Our measurements confirm the appearance of spin-density wave (SDW) order within a dome-like region of the x - T phase diagram with vanadium content 0.02 < x < 0.3. Our results indicate that on approaching TaFe2 from the vanadium-rich side, ferromagnetic (FM) correlations increase faster than the antiferromagnetic (AFM) ones. This results in an exchange-enhanced susceptibility and in the suppression of the SDW transition temperature for x < 0.13 forming the dome-like shape of the phase diagram. This effect is strictly related to a significant lattice distortion of the crystal structure manifested in the c/a ratio. At x = 0.02 both FM and AFM energy scales have similar strength and the system remains paramagnetic down to 2 K with an extremely large Stoner enhancement factor of about 400. Here, spin fluctuations dominate the temperature dependence of the resistivity ρ~ T ^ 3/2 and of the specific heat C/T ~ - log(T) which deviate from their conventional Fermi liquid forms, inferring the presence of a quantum critical point of dual nature.

description: Background: The incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing on a global basis. Provision of proper educational session in health care facilities is believed as important in the management of T2DM. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the perception of adult diabetic patients on diabetic related education and counseling. Method: This cross-sectional study was done in Addis Ababa Black Lion Specialized Hospital (BLSH) and Yekatit 12 Hospital Diabetic clinics from April 25 – May 22, 2009. The techniques for data collection were interview method and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Six nurses were interviewers and the principal investigator supervised the over all process during an interview. FGD was conducted by the investigator with the aid of tape-recorder. A total of Four-hundred forty two participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and 25 patients were included in FGD. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 15.0 and results were presented by tables, figures and different statistical tests were done to indicate associations between variables. Result: Out of 442 study participants and 25 informants, nearly 56.6% of them were females and 60.7% of them aged above 40 years of age. Three- hundred ninety one (88.5%) of them were living with family and 225 (50.9%) of them had low monthly income (< 400 ETB). Mean BMI and FBS of study participants were 23.6 ± 3.81 kg/m2 and 164 ± 71.1 mg/dl respectively. Almost half of the study participants had FBS level between 120- 199 mg/ dl of blood. Around 63.6 – 97.7% of study participants had sufficient knowledge on what diabetes mellitus is, management options and related acute/ chronic complications. Perception about given diabetic education was strongly associated with age, education, income and duration of patient's diagnosis with T2DM (P < o.oo1 and p < 0.005). Conclusions: Regular educational session for patients with adult onset diabetes mellitus is mandatory for empowering them with knowledge and skill. The result of this study will be used in those diabetic clinics as valuable information for improvement of patient education, which is essential for the betterment in quality of health. Keywords: Counseling, education, perception, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
