description: The concept of intrinsic work motivation and employee engagement is a popular term for today's business and management research. Moreover, intrinsic motivational factors are often considered a useful tool for employee engagement. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of intrinsic motivational factors on employee engagement in Commercial Bank of Ethiopia. A sample of 364 respondents was drawn from the employees of the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia by using survey software. A structured questionnaire was distributed to the selected respondents. The response rate from the intended sample was 82 percent. Explanatory method is used to conduct the research. Regressional analysis was run using SPSS Version 20.0. Quantitative data was used to analyze the data which was collected for the study. The finding of this study shows that all the factors of intrinsic motivation; namely, Interesting work, Work achievement, Job appreciation and Job autonomy have a positive and significant relationship on Employee engagement. These findings are beneficial for Commercial Bank of Ethiopia to engage their employees. Finally, the researcher suggests that the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia focus on intrinsic motivational factors to motivate and engage employees better and to achieve the desire objectives.

description: A low-cost nano-particle material was successfully prepared using waste pomegranate peels. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of different operating conditions on the removal of brilliant green (BG) dye from an aqueous solution. SEM images of pomegranate peels nano-particles (PPNP) declared roughness of the surfaces and TEM images indicated a spheroid shape with an average particle size of 37 nm. The specific surface area of the PPNP was 354.46 m2/g and the particle size had a mean diameter of 613.4 nm. The active nano-particle suspension showed a net negative charge (−29 mV) at natural pH. The XRD pattern of PPNP displayed an average crystallite size of 13.50 nm and EDS analysis shows that the PPNP consists of 83% carbon. The experimental work showed that the removal of BG had optimum removal efficiency at 20 min, 0.3 g adsorbent mass, 25 °C, and pH 8. The kinetic data can be described well with the pseudo-second-order model and the isotherm data was found to fit the Dubinin model. The thermodynamic study proved that BG adsorption on PPNP was physisorption (ΔG = −5.949 kJ/mol) and spontaneous at low temperature (ΔH = −17.193 kJ/mol, ΔS = −0.0382 kJ/mol. k) This study used an agriculture waste (pomegranate peels) to prepare an environmentally friendly and low-cost adsorbent within the nano-scale by thermal activation. The nano-particles prepared were shown to be a promising adsorbent, demonstrating high surface area and well-developed porosity. The prepared adsorbent will have a great impact on wastewater treatment technology and possible applications at a large scale.

description: Particle-hole symmetry in the lowest Landau level of the two-dimensional electron gas requires the electrical Hall conductivity to equal $\pm e^2/2h$ at half-filling. We study the consequences of weakly broken particle-hole symmetry for magnetoresistance oscillations about half-filling in the presence of an applied periodic one-dimensional electrostatic potential using the Dirac composite fermion theory proposed by Son. At fixed electron density, the oscillation minima are asymmetrically biased towards higher magnetic fields, while at fixed magnetic field, the oscillations occur symmetrically as the electron density is varied about half-filling. We find an approximate "sum rule" obeyed for all pairs of oscillation minima that can be tested in experiment. The locations of the magnetoresistance oscillation minima for the composite fermion theory of Halperin, Lee, and Read (HLR) and its particle-hole conjugate agree exactly. Within the current experimental resolution, the locations of the oscillation minima produced by the Dirac composite fermion coincide with those of HLR. These results may indicate that all three composite fermion theories describe the same long wavelength physics.

description: Decomposition of biomolecular reaction networks into pathways is a powerful approach to the analysis of metabolic and signalling networks. Current approaches based on analysis of the stoichiometric matrix reveal information about steady-state mass flows (reaction rates) through the network. In this work we show how pathway analysis of biomolecular networks can be extended using an energy-based approach to provide information about energy flows through the network. This energy-based approach is developed using the engineering-inspired bond graph methodology to represent biomolecular reaction networks. The approach is introduced using glycolysis as an exemplar; and is then applied to analyse the efficiency of free energy transduction in a biomolecular cycle model of a transporter protein (Sodium-Glucose Transport Protein 1, SGLT1). The overall aim of our work is to present a framework for modelling and analysis of biomolecular reactions and processes which considers energy flows and losses as well as mass transport.

description: In this paper, we continue our study on the curvaton model with nonminimal derivative coupling (NDC) to Einstein gravity proposed in our previous work, focusing on the reheating mechanism. We found that according to whether the curvaton has dominated the background after the end of inflation, it will have two different behaviors of evolution, which should be the general property of curvaton with nonminimal couplings. This will cause diffferent rates of particle creation, which goes on via the parametric resonance process. The reheating temperature is estimated for both cases in which reheating completes before and after curvaton domination, and the constraints are quite loose compared to that of overproduction of gravitino. Finally we investigated the evolution of curvature perturbation during reheating. We have shown both analytically and numerically that the curvature perturbation will not blow up during the resonance process.

description: Nickel (Ni) is one of the most toxic metals in human health. Its bioaccumulation in gluten-free crops limits the progressing demand of safe foods for allergic people to gluten. Nanoparticles have shown promising results in enhancing the crop yield and reducing the risk of heavy metal uptake. However, their nanotoxicity has been raised environmental concerns. This study investigated the environmental behavior of Ni (II) with the co-presence of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) in sorghum bicolor. The plants were exposed to different treatments of Ni, ZnO-NPs, or their coexistence. The uptake experiments were carried out within nine treatments consisting of 1 or 5 ppm Ni alone or in coexistence with 50 or 100 ppm ZnO-NPs. The physiological impacts on plants as potential fingerprints for nanotoxicity were recorded and assessed in a phenotypic spectrum. The total Ni or Zn contents were quantified using atomic absorption. NPs significantly altered the bioavailability of Ni. The results revealed that at 5 ppm Ni contamination, 50 and 100 ZnO-NPs significantly reduced the Ni uptake by ∼43% and 47%, respectively. Further, the results showed at 50 ppm NPs, the phytotoxicity effects of both Ni and NPs may reduce, leading to higher plant dry biomass yield. Novelty statement Characterization of zinc oxide nanotoxicity threshold by developing a phenotypic spectrum. Also, the study revealed the phytoremediation potential of ZnO nanoparticle in mitigating the nickel uptake in a gluten-free crop (sorghum bicolor).

For a class of models known as generalized spin boson model we prove the existence of asymptotic expansions of the ground state and the ground state energy to arbitrary order. We need a mild but very natural infrared assumption, which is weaker than the assumption usually needed for other methods such as operator theoretic renormalization to be applicable. The result complements previously shown analyticity properties.

description: Salt-accumulator species are of great interest for the phytoremediation of salt-affected soils to reclaim soil salinization, a major constraints causing germination retardation and growth restriction of plants as well as habitat degradation. Higher biomass production at ECe 23–36 dS m−1 indicated that this species grows better in high to moderate salinity that was linked to osmotic adjustment through higher ion accumulation (Na+, Cl‒, and Ca2+) and organic osmolytes (free amino acids and proline). Plants from highly and moderately saline habitats exhibited broader metaxylem vessels, which was associated with eased conduction of solutes leading to better growth. Leaf anatomical characteristics generally increased with increasing salinity except at the highest ECe 55 dS m−1. The increased leaf lamina thickness contributed to succulence because of increased storage parenchymatous spongy tissues (that can store high amounts of water), water contents and it is a reflection of maintaining ion homeostasis and colonizing hyper-saline soil. Reduced stomatal density and area under high salinity are critical to cope with environmental hazards. Under high salinity, compartmentalization of excessive Na+ and Cl− ions and accumulation of compatible osmolytes are directly related to high degree of salinity tolerance, and hence are useful for phyto-amelioration of salinity-impacted lands. Salinity tolerance mechanism in Suaeda vera have been explored extensively, but these mechanisms have not been addressed in the context of soil-plant interaction and functioning connection between structural and functional features with respect to phytoremediation. This work aims to provide mechanistic insight into how different morphological and physio-anatomical mechanisms in differently adapted population of Suaeda vera operate in coordinated manner to maintain ionic homeostasis under high salinity that are useful for phytoremediation.

description: For kernels $ν$ which are positive and integrable we show that the operator $g\mapsto J_νg=\int_0^x ν(x-s)g(s)ds$ on a finite time interval enjoys a regularizing effect when applied to Hölder continuous and Lebesgue functions and a "contractive" effect when applied to Sobolev functions. For Hölder continuous functions, we establish that the improvement of the regularity of the modulus of continuity is given by the integral of the kernel, namely by the factor $N(x)=\int_0^x ν(s)ds$. For functions in Lebesgue spaces, we prove that an improvement always exists, and it can be expressed in terms of Orlicz integrability. Finally, for functions in Sobolev spaces, we show that the operator $J_ν$ "shrinks" the norm of the argument by a factor that, as in the Hölder case, depends on the function $N$ (whereas no regularization result can be obtained). These results can be applied, for instance, to Abel kernels and to the Volterra function $\mathcal{I}(x) = μ(x,0,-1) = \int_{0}^{\infty}x^{s-1}/Γ(s)\,ds$, the latter being relevant for instance in the analysis of the Schrödinger equation with concentrated nonlinearities in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$.

description: The rotation of a star and the revolutions of its planets are not necessarily aligned. This article reviews the measurement techniques, key findings, and theoretical interpretations related to the obliquities (spin-orbit angles) of planet-hosting stars. The best measurements are for stars with short-period giant planets, which have been found on prograde, polar, and retrograde orbits. It seems likely that dynamical processes such as planet-planet scattering and secular perturbations are responsible for tilting the orbits of close-in giant planets, just as those processes are implicated in exciting orbital eccentricities. The observed dependence of the obliquity on orbital separation, planet mass, and stellar structure suggests that in some cases, tidal dissipation damps a star's obliquity within its main-sequence lifetime. The situation is not as clear for stars with smaller or wider-orbiting planets. Although the earliest measurements of such systems tended to find low obliquities, some glaring exceptions are now known in which the star's rotation is misaligned with respect to the coplanar orbits of multiple planets. In addition, statistical analyses based on projected rotation velocities and photometric variability have found a broad range of obliquities for F-type stars hosting compact multiple-planet systems. The results suggest it is unsafe to assume that stars and their protoplanetary disks are aligned. Primordial misalignments might be produced by neighboring stars or more complex events that occur during the epoch of planet formation.

description: In this work, we propose a novel phase-field model for the simulation of two-phase flows that is accurate, conservative, bounded, and robust. The proposed model conserves the mass of each of the phases, and results in bounded transport of the volume fraction. We present results from the canonical test cases of a drop advection and a drop in a shear flow, showing significant improvement in the accuracy over the commonly used conservative phase-field method. Moreover, the proposed model imposes a lesser restrictive Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy condition, and hence, is less expensive compared to other conservative phase-field models. We also propose improvements on computation of surface tension forces and show that the proposed improvement significantly reduces the magnitude of spurious velocities at the interface. We also derive a consistent and conservative momentum transport equation for the proposed phase-field model and show that the proposed model when coupled with the consistent momentum transport equation results in discrete conservation of kinetic energy, which is a sufficient condition for the numerical stability of incompressible flows, in the absence of dissipative mechanisms. To illustrate the robustness of the method in simulating high-density ratio turbulent two-phase flows, we present the numerical simulations of high-density ratio droplet-laden isotropic turbulence at finite and infinite Reynolds numbers.

The research was conducted based on primary and secondary data. A quantitative research approach of the data collection was used and 195 questionnaires were distributed in which 177 of them returned. Stratify sampling method was used and employees were selected from each strata with a random sampling techniques. The data was analyzed using explanatory research method; correlation and regression were used to analyze the data. The correlation result of the study signifies that there is a positive and significant relationship between independent variables (training and development) with the dependent variable (employee performance). The study also recommended that in order to enhance employee performance the bank should continue its training and development programs in an advanced, systematic way and keep constant review of its training practices to identify effectiveness on its employee's performance regularly

description: Many parity violating gravity models suffer from the ghost instability problem. In this paper, we consider a symmetric teleparallel gravity model that extends the general relativity equivalent model by several parity violating interactions between the gravitational field and a scalar field. These interactions exclude higher derivatives and are quadratic in the nonmetricity tensor. Through investigations on the linear cosmological perturbations, our results show that, in general, this model suffers from the difficulty caused by the existence of ghost mode in the vector perturbations. However, in cases where a special condition is imposed on the coefficients of these parity violating interactions, this model can be ghost free.

Measurements of differential production cross sections for a Z boson in association with jets in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Cross sections for the production of a Z boson in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV are measured using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC corresponding to 19.6 inverse femtobarns. Differential cross sections are presented as functions of up to three observables that describe the jet kinematics and the jet activity. Correlations between the azimuthal directions and the rapidities of the jets and the Z boson are studied in detail. The predictions of a number of multileg generators with leading or next-to-leading order accuracy are compared with the measurements. The comparison shows the importance of including multi-parton contributions in the matrix elements and the improvement in the predictions when next-to-leading order terms are included.

Galaxy collisions as a mechanism of ultra diffuse galaxy (UDG) formation

description: We suggest a possible mechanism of ultra diffuse galaxy formation: the UDGs may occur as a result of a central collision of galaxies. If the galaxies are young and contain a lot of gas, the collision may kick all the gas off the systems and thus strongly suppress any further star formation. As a result, the galaxies now have a very low surface brightness and other properties typical of the ultra diffuse galaxies. We use the Coma cluster (where numerous UDGs were recently discovered) to test the efficiency of the process. The mechanism works very well and can transform a significant fraction of the cluster population into ultra diffuse galaxies. The UDGs formed by the process concentrate towards the center of the cluster, and their globular cluster systems remain undamaged, in accordance with observational results. The projected surface density of UDGs in the cluster may help us to recognize the mechanism of UDG formation, or clarify relative contributions of several possible competitive mechanisms at work.

description: We theoretically investigate the mapping of the supercurrent distribution in a planar superconductor-normal-superconductor junction in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field via the scanning gate microscopy technique. We find that the distribution of counter-propagating supercurrents aligned in Josephson vortices can be mapped by the change of the critical current induced by the tip of the scanning probe, if the flux in the junction is set close to maxima of the Fraunhofer pattern. Instead, when the magnetic field drives the junction to a supercurrent minimum in the Fraunhofer pattern, the superconducting phase adapts, and the tip always increases the supercurrent. The perpendicular magnetic field leads to the formation of Josephson vortices, whose extension for highly transparent junctions depends on the current circulation direction. We show that this leads to an asymmetric supercurrent distribution in the junction and that this can be revealed by scanning gate microscopy. We explain our findings on the basis of numerical calculations for both short- and long-junction limits and provide a phenomenological model for the observed phenomena.

Quantum phase transitions in Heisenberg $J_1-J_2$ triangular antiferromagnet in a magnetic field

description: We present the zero temperature phase diagram of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a frustrated triangular lattice with nearest neighbor ($J_1$) and next nearest neighbor ($J_2$) interactions, in a magnetic field. We show that the classical model has an accidental degeneracy for all $J_2/J_1$ and all fields, but the degeneracy is lifted by quantum fluctuations. We show that at large $S$, for $J_2/J_1 <1/8$, quantum fluctuations select the same sequence of three sublattice co-planar states in a field as for $J_2 =0$, and for $1/81$, the transition remains first order, with a finite hysteresis width, but for $S=1/2$ and, possibly, $S=1$, there appears a new intermediate phase, likely without a spontaneous long-range order.
