description: We consider the nature of quantum properties in non-relativistic quantum mechanics (QM) and relativistic QFTs, and examine the connection between formal quantization schemes and intuitive notions of wave-particle duality. Based on the map between classical Poisson brackets and their associated commutators, such schemes give rise to quantum states obeying canonical dispersion relations, obtained by substituting the de Broglie relations into the relevant (classical) energy-momentum relation. In canonical QM, this yields a dispersion relation involving $\hbar$ but not $c$, whereas the canonical relativistic dispersion relation involves both. Extending this logic to the canonical quantization of the gravitational field gives rise to loop quantum gravity, and a map between classical variables containing $G$ and $c$, and associated commutators involving $\hbar$. This naturally defines a "wave-gravity duality", suggesting that a quantum wave packet describing {\it self-gravitating matter} obeys a dispersion relation involving $G$, $c$ and $\hbar$. We propose an ansatz for this relation, which is valid in the semi-Newtonian regime of both QM and general relativity. In this limit, space and time are absolute, but imposing $v_{\rm max} = c$ allows us to recover the standard expressions for the Compton wavelength $λ_C$ and the Schwarzschild radius $r_S$ within the same ontological framework. The new dispersion relation is based on "extended" de Broglie relations, which remain valid for slow-moving bodies of {\it any} mass $m$. These reduce to canonical form for $m \ll m_P$, yielding $λ_C$ from the standard uncertainty principle, whereas, for $m \gg m_P$, we obtain $r_S$ as the natural radius of a self-gravitating quantum object. Thus, the extended de Broglie theory naturally gives rise to a unified description of black holes and fundamental particles in the semi-Newtonian regime.

description: Hydrodynamical interactions of active micro-particles are pervasive in our planet's fluid environments. Hence, understanding the interactions of these self-propelled particles is essential for science and engineering. In this paper the suspensions of active swimmer-rotor particles have been mathematically modeled by extending a previously developed stochastic kinetic theory to analyze heterogeneous collections of microswimmers and microrotors with multiple spin velocity populations. The paper uses this modeling approach to derive insights on large scale properties such as suspension instabilities and spatial correlations of the active particles and highlights the role of active particle rotations on the behavior of the suspension. This study will have an eye on analytically explaining pattern formation results observed for self-propelled micro-particles using numerical and lab experiments.
Assessment of Back Pain and Disability Status among Automotive Industry Workers, Ethiopia
Creators: name: Hailu, Wondosen
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Background: Back pain is a very common public health problem in the manufacturing industry and a major cause of disability that affects work performance and wellbeing. Currently, in Ethiopia manufacturing sectors, including automotive manufacturing, is growing well but there is poor culture of work place health and safety in the manufacturing sectors. In the process of automotive production, certain mechanical tasks like manual handling, lifting, pushing or pulling heavy objects increased back problem. Which is not frequently studied and there is little evidence on this problem in automotive manufacturing industry, especially in Ethiopia there is no study to the author's knowledge. So studying about the impact of back pain among automotive industry workers is one of the key issues in improving worker's health and safety. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of back pain and disability status in an Ethiopian Automotive Industry workers. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among 412 Bishoftu Automotive Industry workers from February 2017 to May 2018. Simple random sampling technique was applied to select participants from each departments of production factories. The data was collected by face-to-face interview using standard Nordic and Oswestry Back Pain Disability Index tools. The analysis was done by using SPSS version 24. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine associations. Results: The prevalence of work related back pain among automotive production factory workers during the last 12 months and the last seven days were 51.7% and 25% respectively. The prevalence of back pain related disability was 87%. The risk factors of the work related back pain that were identified include; work experience (11-15 years)[AOR: 0.02, 95%CI(0.001−0.46)], tasks that involve bending and twisting [AOR: 2.03, 95%CI(1.19−3.45)] and lifting of heavy loads [AOR: 4.89, 95%CI(2.83−8.47)]. Conclusion and recommendations: This study showed a high prevalence of back pain among automotive industry workers. Furthermore, this study verified workers with back pain and more specifically those working in tasks that involve with the identified associated risk factors were suffer from disability. The problem should have got attention to promote the health and safety of workers to prevent and for early detection and intervention should be planned for those who develop the problem in the automotive manufacturing industry to reduce effects of disability.

description: For a $2$-dimensional non-flat spray we associate a Berwald frame and a $3$-dimensional distribution that we call the Berwald distribution. The Frobenius integrability of the Berwald distribution characterises the Finsler metrizability of the given spray. In the integrable case, the sought after Finsler function is provided by a closed, homogeneous $1$-form from the annihilator of the Berwald distribution. We discuss both the degenerate and non-degenerate cases using the fact that the regularity of the Finsler function is encoded into a regularity condition of a $2$-form, canonically associated to the given spray. The integrability of the Berwald distribution and the regularity of the $2$-form have simple and useful expressions in terms of the Berwald frame.

description: We build and analyze the network of hundred top cited nodes (research papers and books from Google Scholar; strength or citation of the nodes range from about 44000 up to 100) starting early 1980 to till last year. These searched publications (papers, books) are based on Quantum Annealing Computation and Information categorized in four different sets: A) Quantum/Transverse Field Spin Glass Model, B) Quantum Annealing, C) Quantum Adiabatic Computation and D) Quantum Computation Information in the title or abstract of the searched publications. We fitted the growth in the annual number of publication ($n_p$) in each of these four categories A to D to the form $n_p \sim\exp{(t/τ)}$ where $t$ denotes the time in year. We found the scaling time $τ$ to be of order about 10 years for category A and C whereas $τ$ is order of about 5 years for category B and D.

description: Magnitude is a numerical isometric invariant of metric spaces, whose definition arises from a precise analogy between categories and metric spaces. Despite this exotic provenance, magnitude turns out to encode many invariants from integral geometry and geometric measure theory, including volume, capacity, dimension, and intrinsic volumes. This paper will give an overview of the theory of magnitude, from its category-theoretic genesis to its connections with these geometric quantities.

description: We investigate logarithmic price returns cross-correlations at different time horizons for a set of 25 liquid cryptocurrencies traded on the FTX digital currency exchange. We study how the structure of the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and the Triangulated Maximally Filtered Graph (TMFG) evolve from high (15 s) to low (1 day) frequency time resolutions. For each horizon, we test the stability, statistical significance and economic meaningfulness of the networks. Results give a deep insight into the evolutionary process of the time dependent hierarchical organization of the system under analysis. A decrease in correlation between pairs of cryptocurrencies is observed for finer time sampling resolutions. A growing structure emerges for coarser ones, highlighting multiple changes in the hierarchical reference role played by mainstream cryptocurrencies. This effect is studied both in its pairwise realizations and intra-sector ones.

description: A novel topological insulator with tunable edge states, called quantum spin-quantum anomalous Hall (QSQAH) insulator, is predicted in a heterostructure of a hydrogenated Sb (SbH) monolayer on a LaFeO3 substrate by using ab initio methods. The substrate induces a drastic staggered exchange field in the SbH film, which plays an important role to generate the QSQAH effect. A topologically nontrivial band gap (up to 35 meV) is opened by Rashba spin-orbit coupling, which can be enlarged by strain and electric field. To understand the underlying physical mechanism of the QSQAH effect, a tight-binding model based on px and py orbitals is constructed. With the model, the exotic behaviors of the edge states in the heterostructure are investigated. Dissipationless chiral charge edge states related to one valley are found to emerge along the both sides of the sample, while low-dissipation spin edge states related to the other valley flow only along one side of the sample. These edge states can be tuned flexibly by polarization-sensitive photoluminescence controls and/or chemical edge modifications. Such flexible manipulations of the charge, spin, and valley degrees of freedom provide a promising route towards applications in electronics, spintronics, and valleytronics.

description: We prove that for any triangle-free intersection graph of $n$ axis-parallel line segments in the plane, the independence number $\alpha$ of this graph is at least $\alpha \ge n/4 + \Omega(\sqrt{n})$. We complement this with a construction of a graph in this class satisfying $\alpha \le n/4 + c \sqrt{n}$ for an absolute positive constant $c$, which demonstrates the optimality of our result. Wegner's conjecture states that the clique covering number of the intersection graph of axis-parallel rectangles can be bounded by twice its independence number. As a consequence of our results, we show that the multiplicative constant in Wegner's conjecture is tight already for the highly restricted case of axis-parallel segments, even with the assumption of triangle-freeness. Still, for this class, we improve on Wegner's bound by an additive term of order $\sqrt{\alpha}$.

description: In an era where external data and computational capabilities far exceed statistical agencies' own resources and capabilities, they face the renewed challenge of protecting the confidentiality of underlying microdata when publishing statistics in very granular form and ensuring that these granular data are used for statistical purposes only. Conventional statistical disclosure limitation methods are too fragile to address this new challenge. This article discusses the deployment of a differential privacy framework for the 2020 US Census that was customized to protect confidentiality, particularly the most detailed geographic and demographic categories, and deliver controlled accuracy across the full geographic hierarchy.

description: We perform a comprehensive cosmological study of the $H_0$ tension between the direct local measurement and the model-dependent value inferred from the Cosmic Microwave Background. With the recent measurement of $H_0$ this tension has raised to more than $3σ$. We consider changes in the early time physics without modifying the late time cosmology. We also reconstruct the late time expansion history in a model independent way with minimal assumptions using distances measures from Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and Type Ia Supernovae, finding that at $z<0.6$ the recovered shape of the expansion history is less than 5 % different than that of a standard LCDM model. These probes also provide a model insensitive constraint on the low-redshift standard ruler, measuring directly the combination $r_s h$ where $H_0=h \times 100$ km/s/Mpc and $r_s$ is the sound horizon at radiation drag (the standard ruler), traditionally constrained by CMB observations. Thus $r_s$ and $H_0$ provide absolute scales for distance measurements (anchors) at opposite ends of the observable Universe. We calibrate the cosmic distance ladder and obtain a model-independent determination of the standard ruler for acoustic scale, $r_s$. The tension in $H_0$ reflects a mismatch between our determination of $r_s$ and its standard, CMB-inferred value. Without including high-l Planck CMB polarization data (i.e., only considering the "recommended baseline" low-l polarisation and temperature and the high l temperature data), a modification of the early-time physics to include a component of dark radiation with an effective number of species around 0.4 would reconcile the CMB-inferred constraints, and the local $H_0$ and standard ruler determinations. The inclusion of the "preliminary" high-l Planck CMB polarisation data disfavours this solution.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2005

description: Back ground Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is by far the largest source of HIV infection in children below the age of 15 years. The virus may be transmitted during pregnancy child birth or breast feeding. Globally 2.7 million children under the age of 15 years have died of AIDS since the beginning of the epidemics. Over 9 in 10 were infected by their mothers. For many years little was known about preventing transmission of HIV infection from mother to child. Recently however, many interventions are available to reduce mother to child transmission, such as anti retroviral drug and avoidance of breast feeding. For women to take advantage of measures to reduce transmission, they need to know their HIV status. Despite this fact many women are not willing to take voluntary HIV counseling and testing. Objective The main objective of the study is to identify factors determining acceptance of voluntary HIV testing among pregnant women at army hospitals in Addis Ababa. Method Unmatched case control study was conducted on 88 acceptors and 176 non-acceptors of VCT using structured pretested questionnaire from December 2004 to January 2005, at army hospitals in Addis Ababa. Results Among socio-demographic factors the odds of VCT acceptance was higher among better educated, married, with higher income women and among women whose husbands live at home. Women who had better knowledge of VCT and MTCT and women with at least two ANC visit had significantly higher VCT acceptance than their counterparts. vi Adjusted for socio-demographic and some reproductive characters tics VCT acceptance was significantly associated with knowledge about MTCT (OR=7.34, 95% CI= 3.44, 15.67), previous VCT experience (OR= 2.51, 95% CI= 1.03, 6.17) and husbands residence ( at home) (OR= 4.97, 95% CI = 2.15,11.46). Conclusions and recommendation Education of the mother, knowledge of MTCT and VCT and partner participation were important factors of VCT acceptance. Health education targeted on pregnant women on PMTCT and VCT would have paramount importance using different sources Key words acceptance, HIV testing, pregnant women, antenatal care

description: We report absolutely calibrated measurements of diffuse radio emission between 90 and 190 MHz from the Experiment to Detect the Global EoR Signature (EDGES). EDGES employs a wide beam zenith-pointing dipole antenna centred on a declination of -26.7$^\circ$. We measure the sky brightness temperature as a function of frequency averaged over the EDGES beam from 211 nights of data acquired from July 2015 to March 2016. We derive the spectral index, $β$, as a function of local sidereal time (LST) and find -2.60 > $β$ > -2.62 $\pm$0.02 between 0 and 12 h LST. When the Galactic Centre is in the sky, the spectral index flattens, reaching $β$ = -2.50 $\pm$0.02 at 17.7 h. The EDGES instrument is shown to be very stable throughout the observations with night-to-night reproducibility of $σ_β$ < 0.003. Including systematic uncertainty, the overall uncertainty of $β$ is 0.02 across all LST bins. These results improve on the earlier findings of Rogers & Bowman (2008) by reducing the spectral index uncertainty from 0.10 to 0.02 while considering more extensive sources of errors. We compare our measurements with spectral index simulations derived from the Global Sky Model (GSM) of de Oliveira-Costa et al. (2008) and with fits between the Guzmán et al. (2011) 45 MHz and Haslam et al. (1982) 408 MHz maps. We find good agreement at the transit of the Galactic Centre. Away from transit, the GSM tends to over-predict (GSM less negative) by 0.05 < $Δ_β = β_{\text{GSM}}-β_{\text{EDGES}}$ < 0.12, while the 45-408 MHz fits tend to over-predict by $Δ_β$ < 0.05.

description: We present a constrained transport (CT) algorithm for solving the 3D ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations on a moving mesh, which maintains the divergence-free condition on the magnetic field to machine-precision. Our CT scheme uses an unstructured representation of the magnetic vector potential, making the numerical method simple and computationally efficient. The scheme is implemented in the moving mesh code Arepo. We demonstrate the performance of the approach with simulations of driven MHD turbulence, a magnetized disc galaxy, and a cosmological volume with primordial magnetic field. We compare the outcomes of these experiments to those obtained with a previously implemented Powell divergence-cleaning scheme. While CT and the Powell technique yield similar results in idealized test problems, some differences are seen in situations more representative of astrophysical flows. In the turbulence simulations, the Powell cleaning scheme artificially grows the mean magnetic field, while CT maintains this conserved quantity of ideal MHD. In the disc simulation, CT gives slower magnetic field growth rate and saturates to equipartition between the turbulent kinetic energy and magnetic energy, whereas Powell cleaning produces a dynamically dominant magnetic field. Such difference has been observed in adaptive-mesh refinement codes with CT and smoothed-particle hydrodynamics codes with divergence-cleaning. In the cosmological simulation, both approaches give similar magnetic amplification, but Powell exhibits more cell-level noise. CT methods in general are more accurate than divergence-cleaning techniques, and, when coupled to a moving mesh can exploit the advantages of automatic spatial/temporal adaptivity and reduced advection errors, allowing for improved astrophysical MHD simulations.

description: The {\it{Cosmological Boundary Flux Parameter}} is a novel proposal that attempts to explain the origin of the cosmological parameter $Λ$ purely by geometric nature. Then we implement this new approach to a flat FLRW universe along with a barotropic fluid. We present an ansatz in which $Λ$ is straightforwardly coupled to the matter sector; therefore, only one additional parameter was introduced: $λ$. Also, through a statistical analysis, using late-time data of observational Hubble and type Ia Supernovae, we computed the joint best-fit value of the free parameters by means of the affine-invariant MCMC. We want to emphasise that the joint analysis produces a smaller $H_{0}^{\rm CBFP}=69.80\rm\,\, Km \,s^{-1}\,Mpc^{-1}$ in contrast to the flat $Λ$CDM result $H_{0}^{Λ\rm CDM}=70.53\rm\,\, Km \,s^{-1}\,Mpc^{-1}$. The work presented here seeks to contribute to the discussion of the possible explanation for the cosmos' acceleration, together with tackling other important questions in modern cosmology.

Creators: name: G/egziabher, Hadush
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: Background Occupational injury is a global public health burden in developed and developing countries. The nature of a firefighter's job is hazardous and involves rescuing people as well as preventing further escalation of dangerous situations. In US, 68,085 firefighter injuries reported in 2015. Majority injuries were falling (27.2%), Strain (27%) and hit by objects counts (9.0%). In Ethiopia, the prevalence of injury among fire fighters in fire and emergency is unknown. But in Addis Ababa, 452 fire-fighter injuries reported in between 2014 and 2016. This study investigated the prevalence and determinants of occupational injuries among workers in fire & emergency, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Objective: - To assess prevalence injuries and determinants among fire fighters in Addis Ababa Fire and Emergency Authority. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in Addis Ababa fire and emergency authority fire stations. Simple random sampling was used to take on 403 study participants. Data was collected using structured questioner by face to face interview. Data was cleaned using EPI info version 3.5.3 and analysed using SPSS version 20 statistical software. Frequency tables, graphs and descriptive summaries were used to describe the study variables. Bivariate and Multivariate logistic regression model with hierarchical entry analysis were performed. Results: A prevalence of 27% with [95% C.I: (26.79- 27.21)] respondents reported experienced occupational injuries during the past 12 months among workers of Addis Ababa fire and emergency. All injured respondents, 108 (100%) were hospitalized. Not using PPE, lack of safety & health training, sleeping disorder and lack of warning signs were significantly associated with occupational injuries. The odds of developing injury among fire fighters not using PPE was 3.8 times than those PPE users [AOR: 3.76, 95% CI: (2.23-6.36)]. The odds of developing injury among fire fighters with sleeping disorder was 2.6 times than those without sleeping disorder [AOR: 2.61, 95% CI: (1.53-4.46)]. Safety and Health training and Warning signs had also significantly contributed to the higher risks of occupational injuries. Conclusion and Recommendation: This study showed the prevalence injury was high not using PPE, lack of health & safety training, sleeping disorder and lack of warning signs were identified as risk factors. Therefore, safety and health training and proper using of PPE should be given due attention in the fire, emergency prevention and rescue authority. Key words: occupational related injury

Direct Observation of Acoustic Phonon Confinement in Free-Standing Semiconductor Nanowires

description: Similar to electron waves, the phonon states in semiconductors can undergo changes induced by external boundaries. Modification of acoustic phonon spectrum in structures with periodically modulated elastic constant or mass density - referred to as phononic crystals - has been proven experimentally and utilized in practical applications. A possibility of modifying acoustic phonon spectrum in individual nanostructures via spatial confinement would bring tremendous benefits for controlling phonon-electron interaction and thermal conduction at nanoscale. However, despite strong scientific and practical importance, conclusive experimental evidence of acoustic phonon confinement in individual free-standing nanostructures, e.g. nanowires, is still missing. The length scale, at which phonon dispersion undergoes changes and a possibility of the phonon group velocity reduction, are debated. Here, we utilize specially designed high-quality GaAs nanowires (NWs) with different diameters, D, and large inter-nanowire distances to directly demonstrate acoustic phonon confinement. The measurements conducted with Brillouin - Mandelstam spectroscopy reveal confined phonon polarization branches with frequencies from 4 GHz to 40 GHz in NWs with D as large as ~128 nm, i.e. at length scale, which exceeds the "grey" phonon mean-free path in GaAs by an almost an order of magnitude. The phonon dispersion modification and phonon energy scaling with D in individual nanowires are in excellent agreement with theory. The obtained results can lead to more efficient nanoscale control of acoustic phonons, with benefits for nanoelectronics, thermoelectric energy conversion, thermal management, and novel spintronic technologies.

Open level lines of a superposition of periodic potentials on a plane

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: We consider here open level lines of potentials resulting from the superposition of two different periodic potentials on the plane. This problem can be considered as a particular case of the Novikov problem on the behavior of open level lines of quasi-periodic potentials on the plane with four quasi-periods. At the same time, the formulation of this problem may have many additional features that arise in important physical systems related to it. Here we will try to give a general description of the emerging picture both in the most general case and in the presence of additional restrictions. The main approach to describing the possible behavior of the open level lines will be based on their division into topologically regular and chaotic level lines.

On the Tree-Like Structure of Rings in Dense Solutions

description: One of the most challenging problems in polymer physics is providing a theoretical description for the behaviour of rings in dense solutions and melts. Although it is nowadays well established that the overall size of a ring in these conditions scales like that of a collapsed globule, there is compelling evidence that rings may exhibit ramified and tree-like conformations. In this work I show how to characterise these local tree-like structures by measuring the local writhing of the rings' segments and by identifying the patterns of intra-chain contacts. These quantities reveal two major topological structures: loops and terminal branches which strongly suggest that the strictly double-folded "lattice animal" picture for rings in the melt may be replaced by a more relaxed tree-like structure accommodating loops. In particular, I show that one can identify hierarchically looped structures whose degree increases linearly with the size of a ring, and that terminal branches are found to store about 30% of the whole ring mass, irrespectively of its length. Finally, I draw an analogy between rings in the melt and slip-linked chains, where contact points are enforced by mobile slip-links and for which a field-theoretic treatment can be employed to get some insight into their typical conformations. These findings are ultimately discussed in the light of recent works on the static structure of rings and on the existence of inter-ring threadings.

description: A particular two-parameter class of little string theories can be described by $M$ parallel M5-branes probing a transverse affine $A_{N-1}$ singularity. We previously discussed the duality between the theories labelled by $(N,M)$ and $(M,N)$. In this work, we propose that these two are in fact only part of a larger web of dual theories. We provide evidence that the theories labelled by $(N,M)$ and $(\tfrac{NM}{k},k)$ are dual to each other, where $k=\text{gcd}(N,M)$. To argue for this duality, we use a geometric realization of these little string theories in terms of F-theory compactifications on toric, non-compact Calabi-Yau threefolds $X_{N,M}$ which have a double elliptic fibration structure. We show explicitly for a number of examples that $X_{NM/k,k}$ is part of the extended moduli space of $X_{N,M}$, i.e. the two are related through symmetry transformations and flop transitions. By working out the full duality map, we provide a simple check at the level of the free energy of the little string theories.
