Stabilization of expansive soil using cement blended pumice
Creators: name: Legas, Solomon Kebede
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Expansive soil, Pumice material, Stabilization, Swelling pressure, Free swell index

description: Expansive soil covers appreciable parts of Ethiopia. This soil possesses low shear strength and
 high plasticity causing damage to foundation of light weight buildings and pavements.
 Stabilization is one of the widely used techniques, to improve the shear strength, plasticity and
 swelling properties of expansive soils. In the present study, expansive soil and pumice material
 were collected from Goro area, Addis Ababa and Adama town, respectively, to meet the desired
 objectives. This research work is aimed at evaluating the suitability of cement blended Pumice (2
 % cement and 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% 10% and 12% pumice) for stabilization of expansive soil. The
 laboratory tests have been carried out with a batch of two material mix (Expansive soil, cement
 blended pumice). All the laboratory tests (Atterberg limit, Compaction, free swell test, CBR
 swelling pressure tests) were conducted based on ASTM standards. The untreated expansive soil
 has 81 %, 35 %, and 46 % LL, PL and PI, respectively. Based on the findings of this paper, with
 2 % cement content, the optimum amount of pumice was found to be 10 %. At the optimum pumice
 content, the maximum dry density, PI, free swell, CBR swell and swelling pressure were reduced
 by 16.2 %, 27.4 %, 46.4 %, 41.05 %, 65.1 %, respectively and optimum moisture content and
 Soaked CBR were increased by 37.03 % and 31.6 %, respectively. The result of CBR test shows
 that the soaked CBR value increases from 0.98 to 5.21 % and decreases from 0.95 to 0.56 % for
 CBR-swell. According to direct shear test and UCS test result, the value was increased when the
 curing time of the mixture is increase. This is due to the formation of cementitious product as a
 result of pozzolanic reaction with time.

description: Based on (1 R, 2 R)-(+)-(1, 2)-DPEN skeleton, a series of primary amine-sulfamide bifunctional catalysts were synthesized and exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the Michael addition of acetone to β-nitrostyrene. Therefore, a trifunctional heterogeneous catalyst was designed and prepared by simple N-sulfonyl reaction of (1 R, 2 R)-(+)-(1, 2)-DPEN and sulfonyl chloride resin. It was employed for the aforementioned addition without any additive and the satisfied results (80.5% conversion; 84.3% ee) were obtained. Meanwhile, the infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elemental analysis, SEM and N2 adsorption and desorption experiments were characterized to clarify its structural and textural properties. Finally, the generality of the catalyst was investigated.
On the importance of being uncertain: forecasting population futures for Australia
Creators: name: Booth, Heather
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Knowledge of population futures is central to a wide range of policy and planning issues. Population projections have traditionally been the source of this knowledge, but projections are merely what-if scenarios, based on unrealistic assumptions without claim as to their probability of occurrence. Stochastic population forecasts provide a best estimate of the future population with a prediction interval. Based on stochastic forecasts of population components, a population forecast allows for changes in the level and pattern of these components while correctly taking correlations between them into account. Stochastic forecasts provide consistent prediction intervals for all population indices. These advantages of stochastic forecasts are illustrated with respect to the Australian population, in particular with respect to ageing and migration. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

Spatio- Temporal Water Quality Assesement of the Aba- Samuel Reservoir with Urbanization , Southest of Addis Ababa Central Ethiopia
Creators: name: Yetnayet Almaw
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020
Subjects: Aba-Samuel, Land use/cover, Physico-chemical parameters, Urbanization, Water Quality

description: Rapid growth of urbanization, industrialization, development of agricultural activities,
 change in land use/cover, and waste disposal causes serious surface water quality
 degradation in Ethiopia. Anthropogenic activities and natural processes are the main
 sources of pollution for surface water bodies. Therefore, this study aims to detect and
 analyses the impact of urbanization on water quality of the Aba-Samuel Reservoir and
 identify the main land use category that may strongly influence the water quality of the
 reservoir. The assessment of urbanization level was expressed by using land use/cover
 change between 2008 and 2019. A change in land use/cover of the watershed was
 analyzed from Landsat satellite images using supervised classification. Five land cover
 classes were identified namely settlement, cropland, forest, water body and bare land.
 The status of the water quality of the Aba-Samuel reservoir was also analyzed for spatial
 and temporal variation of fourteen Physico-chemical and heavy metal parameters at four
 different sampling stations. The results showed that water quality in the study area had
 significant spatial and seasonal variation and the obtained mean values reveal ranges of
 COD between 30.85 and 89.38mg/l, BOD 6.66 and 15.28mg/l, nitrate 26.13 and
 400.77mg/l, ammonia 3.17 and 47.46mg/l, turbidity 34.62 and 1160.36mg/l, EC 457and
 575.25µs/cm in four respective sampling stations. The result of analyzed parameters was
 then compared with standard permissible limits of WHO, ESA, EPA and FAO to detect
 the suitability of water for various uses. The land use/cover analysis indicates that, there
 has been a considerable increment of settlement, cropland, bare land and water body
 coverage with respective values of 7.4%, 6.87%, 4.56% and 0.3% and a decline of forest
 cover by 19.13%. It was concluded that the deterioration of the water quality of the AbaSamuel reservoir between 2008 and 2019 is due to the incremental coverage of
 settlement and cropland in the watershed. Additionally, the analyzed water quality result
 reveals the reservoir water is not suitable to use for drinking and domestic uses. It"s
 suggested that the lake needs a water quality monitoring system, and any related future
 work in the catchment must include consideration of the water quality problems

description: Final-release data from 2009–2010 Australian Survey of Social Attitudes are now available. These allow the analysis of attitudes to population growth across a wider range of background variables than in the pre-release data reported in the previous issue of People and Place. University graduates and migrants from non-English-speaking-backgrounds, especially if they are from high-income households, are the most likely to favour growth. In contrast, Australia-born non-graduates and people living in non-metropolitan areas are the least likely to do so. Voters who support the conservative parties are the most in favour of population stability but, even so, over two-thirds of Labor and Greens voters want stability. Many voters who are alienated from politics also support stability. Together these findings suggest opportunities for pro-stability parties and candidates in the forthcoming federal election.

Publisher: name: OSF Registries
Year: 2020

description: Sample:

We aim to recruit 250 participants. Given a medium effect size, 30 participants per cell should lead to about 80% power (Wilson Van Voorhis & Morgan, 2007), however this study design will involve some participants being exited from the survey early and some participants may choose to withdraw their data after the debriefing at the end.

Participants will be allocated to one of four groups:

1. Self-compassion induction and foot care - participants will complete a questionnaire about their foot care behaviours and take part in a self-compassion induction writing task
2. Self-compassion induction and dental care - participants will complete a questionnaire about their dental care behaviours and take part in a self-compassion induction writing task
3. Control writing task and foot care - participants will complete a questionnaire about their foot care behaviours and take part in a control writing task
4. Control writing task and dental care - participants will complete a questionnaire about their dental care behaviours and take part in a control writing task

All participants will be exposed to a failure manipulation. They will be presented with an evaluation of their current foot or dental care routine (depending on condition) that will indicate that they have performed poorly.

Dependent Variables:

A self-report measure will assess participants' intentions to change their foot care behaviours or dental care behaviours. Participants will also indicate whether they want to receive information about foot or dental care that may help them to improve their future care routines. An affirmative response will provide an indicator of actual behaviour. Self-report measures of current dental or foot care behaviours will also be evaluated.

Exclusions and Outliers:

1. Participants who report engaging in optimal foot and dental procedures at baseline will be automatically exited from the survey before taking part in the experimental procedure. To avoid excessive loss of participants, additional extreme response options will be offered that extend beyond recommended optimal behaviours.
2. Participants will be excluded if they do not write about a recent negative experience, complete the "intentions" dependent variable measure, complete the experimental or control writing task
3. Participants will also be excluded if they write for less than two minutes in their designated writing task
4. Participants will be excluded if they are response-time outliers who take longer than the median time to complete the survey plus 1.5 times the interquartile range (Höhne & Schlosser, 2018) or similar standardised distance
5. Participants will be excluded if they represent a multivariate outlier in the dataset
6. Univariate outliers will be winsorised
7. Transformations will be applied if the regression residuals are non-normal

Shear Lag Effect in Reinforced Concrete L- Shape Shaear Wall
Creators: name: Meti Mulatu Mosisa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2020
Subjects: shear lag effects, flange effective width, shear lag parameters

description: Structural walls are efficient in resisting seismic lateral loads. However, a shear-lag effect
 reduces the moment capacity of non-rectangular reinforced concrete structural walls. In
 part, this shear-lag effect is caused by non-linearity response of vertical structural
 elements.
 This thesis research work studies shear lag effects in L-shaped reinforced concrete
 structural wall. An experimental result reported from literature was used for validation
 analysis using ANSYS nonlinear finite element software program. Further, parametric
 study on influential variables such as effective flange width, flange thickness, web width,
 web thickness, rebar detailing, loading types and load path was performed to get insight
 into shear lag behavior of L-shaped reinforced concrete structural wall.
 Finite element analysis results showed that shear lag effect increase as the width of wall
 web increase. Similarly, enhanced shear lag effect is exhibited as load is applied at the
 intersection of wall. However, shear lag effect decreases when height of wall increases.
 And the shear lag effect become significant when the wall is loaded parallel to the flange
 of the wall.

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Stiffess Irregular RC Building Due to Story Height Difference
Creators: name: Abdulhamid Yassin,
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2019
Subjects: soft-story, fragility curves, pushover and limit state capacities

description: In high rise buildings or multi story buildings, soft-story construction is common because of story height
 difference due to architectural consideration. These provide stiffness irregularities on the building
 structures, which reduce the stiffness of the lateral load resisting system and sudden reduction in stiffness
 causes higher stress to be concentrated at the stiffness reduced story columns, which lead the columns to
 be unable to provide adequate resistance during the earth quake.
 Taking into consideration the above points, the structural building frames must be evaluated and designed
 by considering the effect of soft story on seismic performance of the building. The main focus of this
 research is to study the seismic performance of stiffness irregular building due to significant story height
 difference on RC buildings by implementing numerical models on the basis of finite element principles.
 For these two regular buildings G+10 and G+20 is developed to be considered as base case structure, and
 cases that represent irregular structures are defined by modifying vertical distribution stiffness of the base
 case. The stiffness irregularity is created by increasing the height of ground floor and second floor of
 base case 200%. Accordingly, different model cases of RC building are analyzed and designed on ETABS
 2016.2.1 (CSI ETABS 2016, Integrated Building Design Software, Computers and Structures Inc.
 Berkeley). Analysis and design of the proposed building model cases followed the conventional design
 approach as prescribed on the new Ethiopian Buildings Code Standards (ES EN: 2015). The design
 outputs of main structural elements are then used for the numerical model on SeismoStruct [SeismoSoft,
 2016]. Pushover and nonlinear dynamic analyses are carried out for obtaining the response in terms
 fundamental periods, base shear-top displacement, inter-story drift, lateral displacements, and fragility
 curve at different performance levels.
 The result of this research shows the following: the effect of stiffness irregularity on fundamental period
 have more significant contributions as the soft-story number and number of story or building height
 increase, for all cases the Story drifts demands increase in the soft story and decrease in most of the other
 stories and drift of most floors are greater than the allowable drift according to ES EN limit (drν≤0,005h),
 the seismic base shear for stiffness regular building are greater than the stiffness irregular one and finally
 the probability of failure for each limit state capacities of stiffness irregular building model is greater than
 stiffness regular buildings models in all cases.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: A small but significant increase in the Australian birth rate is being taken as evidence of the success of the Maternity Payment (Baby Bonus) introduced in July 2004, and broadly hailed as a ‘baby boom’. However, a number of alternative interpretations can be placed on this increase, not all of which might be desirable in the 21st Century. This paper poses nine points on which to consider the issue. It cautions against complacency that declining fertility has been permanently arrested, and against unqualified celebration of a return to a baby boom environment. Copyright.

Screening of acetic acid producing bacteria from coffee pulping process and their efficiency in malt vinegar production
Creators: name: Gizatie Dereje
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2021
Subjects: Barely, Ethanol, Fermentation, Malt, Vinegar

description: Vinegar is produced through fermentation of various raw materials like distilled alcohol,
 wine, rice wine, malt wine and different kinds of alcoholic solution. Barley is one of the
 most cultivated cereal crops in Ethiopia. It is mostly used as a main substrate for the
 production of local drinks as well as industrial brewing. In this study, barley malt was
 utilized as a substrate for the production of malt vinegar through microbial fermentation.
 Some bacteria were isolated from samples collected from a coffee pulping process and
 screened for production of acetic acid. One of the isolate was identified using 16SrRNA
 gene by Sanger sequencing method and it was found very closely related to
 Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The remaining isolate was characterized using a biochemical
 method and it was identified as Gluconobacter species. Pseudomonas species was used
 to produce vinegar from barley malt wine. In this process, the commercial yeast strain,
 Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used to produce ethanol from barley malt extract with 7.3
 brix. Malt wine with 3.49% ethanol was obtained in 3 days of fermentation. For acetous
 fermentation by the bacterial isolate, barley malt wine with 5% ethanol content and 4.7
 brix was used as a substrate. Malt vinegar with pH of 3.76 and 3.5% titrable acidity was
 obtained by the flask method and malt vinegar with 3.79 pH and 3.4% titrable acidity
 was obtained by using a bioreactor
Democracy and dual citizenship

description: Citizenship lies at the heart of democracy and, at present, there are two main ways of thinking about this in Australia. One is based on the idea of cool attachment: citizens should adhere to the procedural rules of the state and should not harbour strong emotional attachments to the nation. The other holds that citizens should do more than simply abide by the procedures; they should think of themselves as belonging to a people. The first view focuses on justice and tolerance, the second on collective identity and a concern for the common good which is nurtured by feeling as well as reason. Proceduralism has more currency among intellectuals and members of the policy elite, while the idea of a national people is probably more popular with the electorate. The current move to legalise dual citizenship illustrates the political dominance of proceduralism. Copyright. Monash University and the author/s

description: Arjo Didesa dam is an earth and rockfill dam which is under construction on Didesa
 River in Western Ethiopia. However, the dam encountered engineering geological
 problems that affected the water tightness and slope stability of the dam abutments
 and reservoir area. To solve these problems the study assessed the geological and
 geotechnical conditions of materials along the dam abutments and reservoir area with
 respect to slope stability and water tightness. Discontinuity surveying, lithological and
 structural mapping, digging test pits, in-situ strength and permeability test, sampling
 and laboratory testing have been carried out in order to achieve the objective of this
 study. RMR and GSI rock mass classification systems were used to identify the
 quality of the rock mass and the results revealed that on the left abutment the rock
 mass quality ranges from poor to fair rock whereas on the right abutment, it ranges
 from poor to good rock. The analysis of discontinuity survey showed that open joints
 are filled by fine materials which will cause leakage of water and slope instability
 problems. The results from kinematic analyses revealed that both the left abutment
 slope 1 (LAS1) and right abutment slope 1 (RAS1) sections were unstable for planar
 mode of failures. Further stability analysis using RocPlane software indicated that
 both sections are unstable under saturated conditions. Similarly, stability analyses
 using limit equilibrium and finite element method showed the left abutment slope 2
 (LAS2) and the right abutment slope 2 (RAS2) sections are unstable during saturated
 conditions. The soils found in the study area were dominated by silty-clay soils and
 they have a plasticity index ranging from 17.18% - 44%. The permeability of soils
 determined from laboratory tests ranges from 2.693*10-7cm/s to 6.687*10-5cm/s. The
 mean hydraulic conductivity values obtained from surface measurements and
 boreholes in the dam foundation and abutments range from 2.982*10-2m/s to 5.97*10-
 2m/s and 2.68*10-4cm/s to 3.06*10-4cm/s respectively. Integration of water tightness
 analysis based on laboratory testing, surface hydraulic conductivity analysis and
 packer permeability test revealed that excessive leakage is expected at both dam
 abutments while the reservoir area is almost watertight. Finally, this study
 recommended proper remedial measures such as rock bolts, anchors and shotcrete for
 slope stabilization, and grouting and clay blankets to control the leakage problems.

Subjects: HEC-RAS, 1D model and Water quality modeling

description: The objective of this study was to develop water quality model for the Jemo River to
 assess and understand the present pollution states of it. A water quality model of the river
 was constructed using Geographic Information System (GIS) and Hydrologic
 Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) soft wares, and particularly HECRAS software used for water quality modeling to evaluate the amount, dissolved oxygen,
 nitrate, ammonium, carbonaceous biological oxygen demand, organophosphate and
 orthophosphate.
 The model results showed an increases in the nutrients from the Jemo River mouth or
 upstream sampled station (Wergenu) to outlet or end of sampled station (around Lebu).
 However, dissolved oxygen had the highest concentration recorded in the upstream of
 Jemo River (Wergenu) 5.21 mg/l and the lowest in around Lebu (sampled station 5)

Subjects: Reinforced concrete beam-slab structure, Progressive collapse, Finite element analysis (FEA), ANSYS, Concrete Microplane material model, Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)

description: Reinforced concrete columns support loads from beam-slab sub assemblage of a
 buildings and transfer into a foundation. However, columns could also be intentionally
 removed due to architectural interest, accidentally lost by unexpected extreme loading
 such as blast or impact loading or construction error leading a structure to fail
 progressively. A missing corner column likely causes progressive collapse than an
 interior column or edge column due to relatively weak tie force from nearby structural
 member. Applying innovative strengthening methods such as using Carbon Fiberreinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is one of viable options to restore or increase
 performance losses due to a missing column.
 This research work numerically investigates response of as-built and Carbon Fiberreinforced polymer (CFRP) composites strengthened beam-slab sub assemblage under
 sudden corner column removal scenario. Non-linear finite element software program
 ANSYS is used to generate 3D model and validate experiment results reported in
 literature and further parametric studies are performed on retrofitting techniques to
 restore or enhance load carrying capacity and floor stiffness of beam-slab sub
 assemblage under missing column case.
 Finite element results indicate as compared to beam-slab sub assemblage with all
 columns intact, applying 16 CFRP layers (0.334mm thickness per layer) at slab top,
 beam side and bottom of beam-slab sub assemblage with missing corner column
 resulted in 87.36% gain in load carrying capacity. Also use of composites improved
 failure characteristics such as crack pattern, concrete damage and progressive collapse
 resistance of beam-slab sub assemblage

description: In the current work a highly efficient prickly pear peel activated carbon, PPPAC, adsorbent
 has been prepared from locally available prickly pear peel for the removal of toxic hexavalent
 chromium and divalent lead ions from synthetic wastewater. In order to evaluate the optimum
 conditions for the adsorption the effect of carbonization temperature, carbonization time,
 solution pH, contact time and adsorbent dosage are carefully studied based on AAS, FTIR,
 SEM, PZC and adsorption efficiency. The results from batch adsorption studies were showed
 that the adsorption efficiency of both chromium and lead onto PPPAC adsorbent was
 influenced by carbonization time, temperature, solution pH, contact time and adsorbent
 dosage. The PPPAC adsorbent, which was found to have significantly higher efficiency in
 chromium and lead removal was synthesized using carbonization time and carbonization
 temperature of 1 hour and 600 C, respectively. The highest Cr (VI) and Pb (II) uptake were
 obtained at adsorbent dose of 15 mg/50mL with removal efficiency of 99.8 % and 88.92 %,
 respectively and achieved at pH 3 and contact time of 30 min for Cr (VI), and at pH 5 and a
 contact time of 40 min for Pb (II), both from 0.5 mg/L of the respective metal solutions.

Subjects: Ethiopian Industrial Park, Industry 4.0, Smart Factory, Smart Product

description: Global industrialization is changing as result of technological advancement and social change.
 Industry 4.0 becomes a de facto standard in the industry landscape. The Ethiopian government
 embark a number of Industrial Parks since 2010, at the same year were Industry 4.0 introduced
 as new direction/aspect to global industrialization. Since then a range of countries conduct
 readiness assessment of their industries towards industry 4.0. Ninety Six industries were
 surveyed out of 120 operational industries in Eth-IPs for their attainment of smart product and
 smart factory scope. The smart product and co-created dimensional view for smart product
 indicates a weighted average value of 2.88 for data analysis usage and 2.34 for ICT add-on
 functionality. On the other hand, the dimensional view for smart factory readiness indicates the
 following values: i) 2.72 for infrastructure equipment capability; ii) 2.86 for digital modelling;
 iii) 2.71 for data usage; iv) 1.38 for data collected; and v) 1.45 for IT-Systems. The overall
 assessment value of Eth-IPs indicates manufacturing industries were identified at learner’s stage
 (level 2) of Industry 4.0 maturity level. Lacking the IT – System implementation of Ethiopian
 Industrial park highly affect the other dimensions of industry 4.0 readiness. Industries in Eth-IPs
 assume to benefit from a cloud computing service provider as managing and acquiring all the IT
 – Systems on premise demand a considerable effort. Finally this study indicates the lacking
 prospect of the operational industries as learning for newly inaugurated, constructed and
 planned industrial parks of Ethiopia.

description: Agricultural wastes have attractive potential as alternate energy sources. However, a major bottleneck is to identify eco-friendly treatment methodologies to utilize them. The large diversity of unexplored, novel, and potential microorganisms hold great promise and require periodic isolation and characterization of microorganisms for bioprospection. In this study, approximately 100 fungal isolates were tested for their lignocellulolytic enzyme activities, based on plate assay, followed by quantification of enzyme activity. From this, M2E (Inonotus tropicalis) and 2a (Cerrena unicolor) showed good growth and proficient ligninolytic activity; isolates GK1 (Chaetomium globosum) and GK2 (Chaetomium brasiliense) exhibited exceptional cellulolytic activity on lignocellulosic substrates such as rice straw and sugarcane bagasse. Consortia of the potential ligninolytic and cellulolytic isolates were set up to determine their ability to biodegrade the lignocellulosic substrates such as rice straw and sugarcane bagasse. The efficiency of the consortia was determined on the basis of the increase in enzyme activity; it was also evident through scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction analysis of the degraded substrates, and the sugar yield. Experiments were also carried out to compare the biological with the physical pretreatment methods. The consortium of ligninolytic and cellulolytic marine-derived fungi developed in this study prove to have the potential for application in the effective utilization of agricultural wastes.

description: Control of the invasive Sea Lamprey Petromyzon marinus is critical for management of commercial and recreational fisheries in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Use of physical barriers to block Sea Lampreys from spawning habitat is a major component of the control program. However, the resulting interruption of natural streamflow and blockage of nontarget species present substantial challenges. Development of an effective nonphysical barrier would aid the control of Sea Lampreys by eliminating their access to spawning locations while maintaining natural streamflow. We tested the effect of a nonphysical barrier consisting of strobe lights, low-frequency sound, and a bubble screen on the movement of Sea Lampreys in an experimental raceway designed as a two-choice maze with a single main channel fed by two identical inflow channels (one control and one blocked). Sea Lampreys were more likely to move upstream during trials when the strobe light and low-frequency sound were active compared with control trials and trials using the bubble screen alone. For those Sea Lampreys that did move upstream to the confluence of inflow channels, no combination of stimuli or any individual stimulus significantly influenced the likelihood that Sea Lampreys would enter the blocked inflow channel, enter the control channel, or return downstream.
