description: We propose the reduced-shifted Conjugate-Gradient (RSCG) method, which is numerically efficient to calculate a matrix element of a Green's function defined as a resolvent of a Hamiltonian operator, by solving linear equations with a desired accuracy. This method does not calculate solution vectors of linear equations but does directly calculate a matrix element of the resolvent. The matrix elements with different frequencies are simultaneously obtained. Thus, it is easy to calculate the exception value expressed as a Matsubara summation of these elements. To illustrate a power of our method, we choose a nano-structured superconducting system with a mean-field Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) approach. This method allows us to treat with the system with the fabrication potential, where one can not effectively use the kernel-polynomial-based method. We consider the d-wave nano-island superconductor by simultaneously solving the linear equations with a large number (~ 50000) of Matsubara frequencies.

Year: 2016

description: Much important as construction is to the nation, it's a very risky industry. Risks in the construction industry are not limited to construction projects as it is largely presumed. Construction enterprises face all kinds of risks and risks are prevalent across the respective construction enterprises with the way these risks are managed greatly influencing the performance and competitiveness of such enterprises. The study investigated integrated risk management practice in the construction industry of Ethiopian, particularly by general contractors. Results of a survey conducted on a sample of such contractors established that formal risk management is not well practiced in the industry with only 28.6% of them implementing formal risk management with risk management policy approved by the board of directors signifying absence of a structured approach to deal with the risks that greatly affect the performance and competitiveness of the enterprises. The study has also found out that the major drivers as well as the major hindrances to risk management implementation in construction enterprises are mainly internal to the enterprises indicating that change in respect of risk management implementation in the construction industry has to come mainly from within the construction enterprises.

description: Distance measures are part and parcel of many computer vision algorithms. The underlying assumption in all existing distance measures is that feature elements are independent and identically distributed. However, in real-world settings, data generally originate from heterogeneous sources even if they do possess a common data-generating mechanism. Since these sources are not identically distributed by necessity, the assumption of identical distribution is inappropriate. Here, we use statistical analysis to show that feature elements of local image descriptors are indeed non-identically distributed. To test the effect of omitting the unified distribution assumption, we created a new distance measure called the Poisson-Binomial Radius (PBR). PBR is a bin-to-bin distance which accounts for the dispersion of bin-to-bin information. PBR's performance was evaluated on twelve benchmark data sets covering six different classification and recognition applications: texture, material, leaf, scene, ear biometrics and category-level image classification. Results from these experiments demonstrate that PBR outperforms state-of-the-art distance measures for most of the data sets and achieves comparable performance on the rest, suggesting that accounting for different distributions in distance measures can improve performance in classification and recognition tasks.
Turning Playboys/Playgirls into the Cheerleaders of the National Leadership: Ideological Advocacy via a Recreational Channel in Contemporary China

description: As China is becoming more autocratic in recent years, the cyberworld, based on the widely popularised access to the Internet, has become the new battlefield for political propaganda. The young adolescents who were previously difficult to target with conventional didactics have become the main objects. The entry of the Central Committee of the Communist Young League to the website: Bilibili, at the beginning of 2017, is a clear sign of the determination of the national leadership in turning the self-entertained ACGN (Animations, Comics, Games and light Novels) fans into the proactive agents of the Party and the State. To figure out the effects of such an action, this research selects 15 most-viewed videos released by three national media on Bilibili for textual and multi-modal discourse analyses. In addition, as danmus (弹幕, also translated as bullet chats) is a unique function of Bilibili, this research also summarises their characteristics and explores the rich discourses with the assistance of the programming language Python. This research finds out that the national leadership is leading the refinement of nationalism on Bilibili. Certain well-developed online grassroots nationalism is selected and incorporated into the official narrative, and the idea of “love the Party” and the dream-chasing struggle of rural grassroots are being included in the umbrella concept of nationalism as new components. With clear acknowledgement of the official natures of the videos, the recipients of such refined nationalism, while keeping their identity as “ACGN fans”, begin to pick up the identity of “little pink”, namely, the advocators of the Party and the Country. Furthermore, the widely-popularised Internet and its communication power have greatly accelerated the interaction between nationalism (the state-led mainstream culture) and ACGN contents (a representative subculture/popular culture). In particular, nationalism is being diffused through subcultural ways recreationally, which further blurs the boundary between mainstream culture and subculture, complying with the overall trend of cultural convergence in the 2020s. This research sets a typical example of investigating the mutual effect between politics and culture in the digital era. The research results may supplement our understanding of the ever-evolving relationship between mainstream culture and subculture in the context of contemporary China, where the political situation is experiencing drastic changes.

description: Fixed node diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) has been performed on a test set of forward and reverse barrier heights for 19 non-hydrogen-transfer reactions, and the nodal error has been assessed. The DMC results are robust to changes in the nodal surface, as assessed by using different mean-field techniques to generate single determinant wave functions. Using these single determinant nodal surfaces, DMC results in errors of 1.5(5) kcal/mol on barrier heights. Using the large data set of DMC energies, we attempted to find good descriptors of the fixed node error. It does not correlate with a number of descriptors including change in density, but does correlate with the gap between the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied orbital energies in the mean-field calculation.

Moving as a ‘scrawny, brown body’: navigating sticky emotional geographies of physical activity in Singapore

description: Recent studies on emotional geographies of physical activity have furnished valuable insights into the affective and emotional intensities of space in mediating physical activity engagements. Nevertheless, I suggest there is potential in departing from an ahistorical treatment of emotion to critically consider how people’s health engagements are mediated by their sticky emotional relations to space stretching over multiple space-times. I bring these ideas to life through an empirical exploration of physical activity engagements in Singapore that involved in-depth interviews with 17 fitness trainers and diaries from 22 fitness participants. Drawing on Sara Ahmed’s idea of ‘sticky emotions’, I argue that people’s physical activity engagements are not just mediated by the immediate affective intensities of space such as energies and atmospheres. Equally importantly, their access to physical activity spaces is also profoundly shaped by their sticky emotional histories and memories of racism, misogyny, and sizism, amongst others. However, instead of theorising minority health subjects through a discourse of passivity and victimhood, I also explore how they could actively ‘unstick’ their bodies from public exercising spaces to create socially fitting environments. This paper emphasises that paying attention to sticky emotions could sharpen a feminist sensitivity to power geometries that are necessarily entwined with people’s health engagements. Accordingly, it aims to develop an ethical corrective to understanding issues of health access, particularly amongst minority communities.

description: A novel Schiff base was synthesized by the condensation of imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde with l-histidine in an equimolar ratio. The prepared Schiff base was characterized by elemental analysis and spectral characterization techniques. It was then complexed with a series of 3-d metal(II) ions like manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc. The coordination properties, nature of bonding and stability of the complexes were deduced from elemental analysis, IR, UV–vis, 1H NMR, mass, electronic spectra, magnetic, conductivity and thermogravimetric analysis. IR studies support the tridentate behaviour of Schiff base as well as its coordination to the central metal ion through an azomethine nitrogen, deprotonated carboxylic oxygen and imidazole ring nitrogen atoms of histidine. The electronic spectra and magnetic moment data demonstrate that the complexes have an octahedral geometry, except zinc complex, which has a tetrahedral geometry. In vitro antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds has been shown to exhibit excellent antibacterial and antifungal activities. The antibacterial property of the prepared Schiff base was further confirmed by conducting a docking study of target proteins involved in the antibacterial mechanism. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Impact of Population Growth on the Ethiopian economic Performance

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2014

description: Ethiopia is the second populous country in Africa while it is one of the Sub-Saharan Countries trapped by poverty. Her population is increasing at an average rate of 2.5%. Thus the objective of this study to examine whether population growth has its own bad effects on the Ethiopian economy Population may be considered a major factor for the abject poverty trap of the country in the period 1970/71-1990/91 since per capita income was very low. Although there has been registered improvement of economic performance since 2004/05, population growth has been still high though the rate has been decreasing. Econometric analysis has shown that population growth has had a significant negative impact in the short run but that of positive impact in the long run on the economic performance of the country. Thus realisticpopulation policies should be designed and implemented to adjust/control high rate of population growth and make it a beneficial resource for the economy. For instance minimizing high birth rate can be an effective policy instrument since high birth rate can be a burden on the economy. Moreover, further research should be done to identify productivity of population.

description: We study the X-ray and optical properties of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) X-6 in the nearby galaxy NGC 4258 (M106) based on the archival {\it XMM-Newton}, {\it Chandra}, {\it Swift}, and {\it Hubble Space Telescope} ({\it HST}) observations. The source has a peak luminosity of $L_{\mathrm{X}} \sim 2 \times 10^{39}$ erg s$^{-1}$ in the {\it XMM-Newton} observation of 2004 June. Consideration of the hardness ratios and spectral model parameters shows that the source seems to exhibit possible spectral variations throughout the X-ray observations. In the images from the {\it HST}/Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), three optical sources have been identified as counterpart candidates within the 1$σ$ error radius of 0$\arcsec$.3. The brightest one has an absolute magnitude of $M_{V} \approx$ $-$7.0 and shows extended structure. The remaining two sources have absolute magnitudes of $M_{V} \approx$ $-$5.8 and $-$5.3 mag. The possible spectral types of the candidates from brightest to dimmest were determined as B6$-$A5, B0$-$A7, and B2$-$A3, respectively. The counterparts of the X-ray source possibly belong to a young star cluster. Neither the standard disk model nor the slim disk model provides firm evidence to determine the spectral characteristics of ULX X-6. We argue that the mass of the compact object lies in the range $10-15M_{\sun}$ indicating that the compact source is most likely a stellar-mass black hole.

description: While the interactions between water molecules are dominated by strongly directional hydrogen bonds (HBs), it was recently proposed that relatively weak, isotropic van der Waals (vdW) forces are essential for understanding the properties of liquid water and ice. This insight was derived from ab initio computer simulations, which provide an unbiased description of water at the atomic level and yield information on the underlying molecular forces. However, the high computational cost of such simulations prevents the systematic investigation of the influence of vdW forces on the thermodynamic anomalies of water. Here we develop efficient ab initio-quality neural network potentials and use them to demonstrate that vdW interactions are crucial for the formation of water's density maximum and its negative volume of melting. Both phenomena can be explained by the flexibility of the HB network, which is the result of a delicate balance of weak vdW forces, causing e.g. a pronounced expansion of the second solvation shell upon cooling that induces the density maximum.

Export Marketing, Customs and Bank Clearing Operations of Floriculture in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Zewdie, Binyam
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: A country's economic growth and development greatly depends on the performance of the export sector. The export structure of Ethiopia, like most developing countries, is characterized by domination of few agricultural products such as coffee. As a result of this, the national economic performance corresponds to the fluctuation of income earned from coffee exports. To this effect it is high time for Ethiopia to diversify its export products. Among the most promising export products Ethiopia could supply to the global market is cutflower. Two decades have elapsed since cut-flower began to be produced in Ethiopia for commercial purposes. However, starting from the production of cutflower up to the logistics and marketing to the global market, cut-flower exporters are facing many challenges. The main issue of interest in undertaking this study is to investigate the marketing, customs and bank clearing operations of the floriculture sector in Ethiopia. Focusing on these issues is necessitated by the fact that the long customs and bank clearing procedures could have a negative impact on the quality and competitiveness of Ethiopian cut-flowers on the international market. These issues can be addressed by developing a fully automated system of customs clearance and expanding the range of services banks offer to cutflower exporters. The export marketing procedures that an Ethiopian cut-flower exporter shall follow constitute pre-shipment, packing and shipment, and postshipment stages. In Ethiopia, the various activities involved in the rose supply chain are highly process intensive consisting of production, logistics and marketing components. The export volume and value of cut-flower account for a small proportion of the total exports of Ethiopia. The major technical, institutional and marketing problems associated with the production and exports of cutflowers are analyzed in detail. Finally, the paper offers possible solutions to the identified problems.

description: The influence of electron--phonon interactions on the dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to a photonic cavity mode is investigated using a nonequilibrium Green's function approach. Within a polaron frame, the self-consistent-Born approximation is used to treat the phonon-assisted scattering processes between the quantum dot polaron and the cavity. Two-time correlators of the quantum dot-cavity system are calculated by solving the Kadanoff-Baym equations, giving access to photon spectra and photon indistinguishability. The non-Markovian nature of the interaction with the phonon bath is shown to be very accurately described by our method in various regime of cavity-quantum electrodynamics (cavity-QED). The indistinguishability of the emitted photons emitted at zero temperature are found to be in very good agreement with a previously reported exact diagonalization approach [Phys.~Rev.~B~87,~081308~(2013)]. Besides, our method enables the calculations of photon indistinguishability at finite temperatures and for strong electron-phonon interactions. More generally, our method opens new avenues in the study of open quantum system dynamics coupled to non-Markovian environments.

description: The spin-1/2 Heisenberg orthogonal-dimer chain is considered within the perturbative strong-coupling approach, which is developed from the exactly solved spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg orthogonal-dimer chain with the Heisenberg intradimer and the Ising interdimer couplings. Although the spin-1/2 Ising-Heisenberg orthogonal-dimer chain exhibits just intermediate plateaux at zero, one-quarter and one-half of the saturation magnetization, the perturbative treatment up to second order stemming from this exactly solvable model additionally corroborates the fractional one-third plateau as well as the gapless Luttinger spin-liquid phase. It is evidenced that the approximate results obtained from the strong-coupling approach are in an excellent agreement with the state-of-the-art numerical data obtained for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg orthogonal-dimer chain within the exact diagonalization and density-matrix renormalization group method. The nature of individual quantum ground states is comprehensively studied within the developed perturbation theory.

description: The synthesized 1,5 diarylpenta-1,4-dien-3-one derivatives (compounds 1-6) as synthetic curcumin analogues were tested for their potential anticancer activity against human ovarian and lung adenocarcinoma cells. The absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET/pharmacokinetic) parameters of all the compounds were predicted by admetSAR software. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and bioactivity scores properties based on Lipinski rule and Ghose filter, calculated with the help of Molinspiration and ChemDraw. Molecular docking evaluation of all the compounds was also performed by using AutoDock Vina and iGEMDOCK against three most common human anticancer targets; epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), heat shock protein (Hsp 90-α), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2). The obtained results were compared with the reference compound 7 and drugs 8-10 (7: GO-035; 8: Quinazolin; 9: Naquotinib and 10: Ribofuranuronamide). Finding indicates, all the compounds were potentially interacting with VEGFR2 through the average –9.1 binding energy (BE) with closer contact <5.0 Å deep in the active site of the ligand-receptor complex. All the compounds showed excellent oral bioavailability, bioactivity score, and none of the compounds are virtually found to be toxic. Compounds 1-6 were also successfully characterized by the physical properties as well as spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR and 1H-NMR). In vitro anti-proliferative activity was tested via MTT method against human ovarian carcinoma (PA-1) and human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cells and further screened for apoptotic parameters such as nuclear fragmentation and ROS generation. Compound 4 exhibits good dose-dependent anti-proliferative activity (IC50 73 and 79.7 µM) against human ovarian carcinoma and human lung adenocarcinoma, respectively. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

description: We study the half filled extended Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice using cluster dynamical mean field theory on clusters of size 8-20. We show that the model exhibits metallic, Mott insulating, and charge ordered phases, and determine the location of the charge ordering phase transition line and the properties of the ordered and disordered phase as a function of temperature, local interaction, and nearest neighbor interaction. We find strong non-local correlations in the uniform phase and a pronounced screening effect in the vicinity of the phase transition, where non-local interactions push the system towards metallic behavior. In contrast, correlations in the ordered phase are mostly local to the unit cell. Extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit and control of all sources of errors allow us to assess the regime of applicability of simpler approximation schemes for systems with non-local interactions. We also demonstrate how strong non-local electron-electron interactions can increase electron mobility by turning a charge ordered insulator into a metal.

description: We point out that the recent conjectural solution to the spectral problem for the Hamiltonian $H=e^{x}+e^{-x}+e^{p}+e^{-p}$ in terms of the refined topological invariants of a local Calabi-Yau geometry has an intimate relation with two-dimensional non-interacting electrons moving in a periodic potential under a uniform magnetic field. In particular, we find that the quantum A-period, determining the relation between the energy eigenvalue and the Kahler modulus of the Calabi-Yau, can be found explicitly when the quantum parameter $q=e^{i\hbar}$ is a root of unity, that its branch cuts are given by Hofstadter's butterfly, and that its imaginary part counts the number of states of the Hofstadter Hamiltonian. The modular double operation, exchanging $\hbar$ and $4π^2/\hbar$, plays an important role.

description: Herbal formulations mentioned in traditional medicinal texts were investigated for in silico effect against SARS-COV-2 proteins involved in various functions of a virus such as attachment, entry, replication, transcription, etc. To repurpose and validate polyherbal formulations, molecular docking was performed to study the interactions of more than 150 compounds from various formulations against the SARS-CoV-2 proteins. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was performed to evaluate the interaction of top scored ligands with the various receptor proteins. The docking results showed that Liquiritic acid, Liquorice acid, Terchebulin, Glabrolide, Casuarinin, Corilagin, Chebulagic acid, Neochebulinic acid, Daturataturin A, and Taraxerol were effective against SARS-COV-2 proteins with higher binding affinities with different proteins. Results of MD simulations validated the stability of ligands from potent formulations with various receptors of SARS-CoV-2. Binding free energy analysis suggested the favourable interactions of phytocompounds with the recpetors. Besides, in silico comparison of the various formulations determined that Pathyadi kwath, Sanjeevani vati, Yashtimadhu, Tribhuvan Keeratiras, and Septillin were more effective than Samshamni vati, AYUSH-64, and Trikatu. Polyherbal formulations having anti-COVID-19 potential can be used for the treatment with adequate monitoring. New formulations may also be developed for systematic trials based on ranking from these studies. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

description: We expound in detail the degeneracy between the octant of $θ_{23}$ and flavor-changing neutral-current non-standard interactions (NSI's) in neutrino propagation, considering the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) as a case study. In the presence of such NSI parameters involving the $e-μ$ ($\varepsilon_{eμ}$) and $e-τ$ ($\varepsilon_{eτ}$) flavors, the $ν_μ\to ν_e$ and $\barν_μ\to \barν_e$ appearance probabilities in long-baseline experiments acquire an additional interference term, which depends on one new dynamical CP-phase $ϕ_{eμ/eτ}$. This term sums up with the well-known interference term related to the standard CP-phase $δ$ creating a source of confusion in the determination of the octant of $θ_{23}$. We show that for values of the NSI coupling (taken one at-a-time) as small as $few\,\%$ (relative to the Fermi coupling constant $G_{\mathrm F}$), and for unfavorable combinations of the two CP-phases $δ$ and $ϕ_{eμ/eτ}$, the discovery potential of the octant of $θ_{23}$ gets completely lost.

Adiabatic invariants for the regular region of the Dicke model

description: Adiabatic invariants are introduced and shown to provide an approximate second integral of motion for the non-integrable Dicke model, in the energy region where the system exhibits a regular dynamics. This low-energy region is always present and has been described both in a semiclassical and a full quantum analysis. Its Peres lattices exhibit that many observables vary smoothly with energy, along lines which beg for a formal description. It is shown how the adiabatic invariants provide a rationale to their presence in many cases. They are built employing the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, valid when a fast system is coupled to a much slower one. As the Dicke model has a one bosonic and one fermionic degree of freedom, two versions of the approximation are used, depending on which one is the faster. In both cases a noticeably accord with exact numerical results is obtained. The employment of the adiabatic invariants provides a simple and clear theoretical framework to study the physical phenomenology associated to this energy regime, far beyond the energies where the quadratic approximation can be employed.

description: We study the winding angles of random and self-avoiding walks on square and cubic lattices with number of steps $N$ ranging up to $10^7$. We show that the mean square winding angle $\langleθ^2\rangle$ of random walks converges to the theoretical form when $N\rightarrow\infty$. For self-avoiding walks on the square lattice, we show that the ratio $\langleθ^4\rangle/\langleθ^2\rangle^2$ converges slowly to the Gaussian value 3. For self avoiding walks on the cubic lattice we find that the ratio $\langleθ^4\rangle/\langleθ^2\rangle^2$ exhibits non-monotonic dependence on $N$ and reaches a maximum of 3.73(1) for $N\approx10^4$. We show that to a good approximation, the square winding angle of a self-avoiding walk on the cubic lattice can be obtained from the summation of the square change in the winding angles of $\ln N$ independent segments of the walk, where the $i$-th segment contains $2^i$ steps. We find that the square winding angle of the $i$-th segment increases approximately as $i^{0.5}$, which leads to an increase of the total square winding angle proportional to $(\ln N)^{1.5}$.

The performance and determinants of the Ethiopian leather export sector
Creators: name: Eshetu, Mulualem
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia

description: Ethiopian leather export sector has been the second most important source of foreign currency to the country. However its share among the country's merchandise export earnings has been declining in recent years. In terms of foreign currency, the export earning from this sector has been fluctuating mainly due to unstable nature of the international market price particularly in the 1990s. This study has, therefore, tried to examine the overall performance of the sector. In particular an econometric approach using Ordinary Least Square (OLS) has been applied to determine the significance of major quantitative factors for the variation in the supply response of the export sector under review. Consequently, the world market unit price/value of the exports and the local real exchange rate have been found to have significant effect on the long run supply of the export sector. In the short run analysis, the domestic consumption pressure and world supplies from major exporters are found important factors in hindering the growth of the export sector. On the other hand the real income of the country (which represents domestic production capacity) does not appear to have significant contribution to the change in supply response of the export sector under study. In addition, poor quality status and insufficient supply of the raw stocks were among the main constraints for local tanneries to operate under capacity and consequently contributing to the declining trend of the export earning. The main causes for these constraints include traditional way of production, preservation and storage facilities. Moreover, lack of premium prices for higher quality raw hides & skins supplies plays a major role for disincentive in quality upgrading and limits the rates of recovery

description: The presence of non-unitary neutrino mixing can affect the measurement of the three-neutrino leptonic Dirac CP phase and hamper efforts to probe CP violation due to degeneracies of the extra non-unitary CP phase with the standard CP phase. We study the effect of including non-unitarity on probing CP violation with the long-baseline experiments NO$ν$A, T2K and DUNE. We analyze the effect of non-unitary mixing at the level of oscillation probabilities associated with the relevant baselines, and present the CP violation sensitivity for the individual experiments and their combination. Our results show that there is an improvement in the CP violation sensitivity of the combination compared to the individual experiments.
