description: Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, we have made the first high spatial and spectral resolution observations of the molecular gas and dust in the prototypical blue compact dwarf galaxy II Zw 40. The CO(2-1) and CO(3-2) emission is clumpy and distributed throughout the central star-forming region. Only one of eight molecular clouds has associated star formation. The continuum spectral energy distribution is dominated by free-free and synchrotron: at 870$μm$, only 50% of the emission is from dust. We derive a CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor by several methods including a new method that uses simple photodissocation models and resolved CO line intensity measurements to derive a relationship that uniquely predicts $α_{CO}$ for a given metallicity. We find that the CO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor is 4 to 35 times that of the Milky Way (18.1 to 150.5 M$_\odot$ / (K km/s pc$^2$)). The star formation efficiency of the molecular gas at least 10 times higher than that found in normal spiral galaxies, which is likely due to the burst-dominated star formation history of II Zw 40 rather than an intrinsically higher efficiency. The molecular clouds within II Zw 40 resemble those in other strongly interacting systems like the Antennae: overall they have high size-linewidth coefficients and molecular gas surface densities. These properties appear to be due to the high molecular gas surface densities produced in this merging system rather than to increased external pressure. Overall, these results paint a picture of II Zw 40 as a complex, rapidly evolving system whose molecular gas properties are dominated by the large-scale gas shocks from its on-going merger.

Year: 2015

description: Aerodynamic brakes are used as auxiliary braking system in rolling stock. The aerodynamic brake is defined as a stiffened plate subjected to lateral pressure load considering buckling behavior. This research is prepared for the computational fluid analysis (CFD) of aerodynamic braking plate by using Finite Element Method to improve arrangement of braking plate and analyze for Ethiopian National Train (ENT).Through the research the current speed of ENT IS taken(120km/hr) and also assumed future speed of 300km/hr is also considered. The analysis is done using the parameters of the rolling stock to be used by Ethiopian Railway Corporation. The assembly of the train body and braking plate area was modeled by using CATIA software. After modeling, analysis for determination of brake force is used by ANSYS Fluent and also the amount of pressure is discussed under four main cases. When the braking plates are positioned at four different angles (450, 600, 750, & 900).The results showed that the drag coefficient increases as the speed increases and also at 120km/hr the aerodynamic effect is less than at 300km/hr. At 120km/hr all the results of pitch moment coefficient were less than one this shows that the train is stable under all four cases. The drag force at an arrangement of 900 was found to be enough to slow down the train at a deceleration of 0.68m/s2 .All the other three cases were invalid because the system cannot achieve the required deceleration. The analysis when the two trains cross each other both equipped with aerodynamic braking plate was also analyzed. The result achieved was the maximum pressure during crossing was 2.39kpa.this pressure can be easily resisted by the window glass which can resist 8.3kpa pressure. Therefore the system can work without any pressure effect. The results were discussed by displaying the drag coefficient, the lift coefficient, residuals, moment coefficient and pressure

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show an efficient way to compute the electron-phonon coupling constant, $λ$, and the superconducting transition temperature, Tc from first-principles calculations. This approach gives rapid convergence of Tc with respect to the size of the k-point mesh, and is seamlessly connected to the formulation used in large molecular systems such as alkali fullerides where momentum dependence can be neglected. Since the phonon and electron-phonon calculations are time consuming particularly in complicated systems, the present approach will strongly reduce the computational cost, which facilitates high-throughput superconducting material design.

Year: 2016

description: Introduction: The double burden of malnutrition in developing countries is a challenge to people health. Childhood obesity is related to an increased risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, respiratory disease and orthopedic disorders during childhood as well as its adverse effects in adulthood. Obesity in children is increasing worldwide. More than 10 percent children 5 to 17 years of age is obese. Objective: The overall purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of childhood overweight, obesity and its associated factors in elementary school children of Dire Dawa town Eastern Ethiopia. Methods: The study was conducted in Dire Dawa town of Eastern Ethiopia from March 1st to 30th, 2016. School based cross-sectional study design was applied. Participants were selected by multistage sampling. Data was collected using pre-tested self-administered questionnaires, face to face interview and weight and height measurements through trained eight data collectors. Data were coded and entered in epi-data version 3.1 and exported and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with childhood overweight and obesity. Statistical significance declared at p-value less than 0.05. Result: A total of 448 children and parents pairs were included in the study. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was (14.7% with 95% CI: 11.70, 18.02) and (5.8% with 95% CI: 3.61, 8.00) respectively. Significant association with overweight and obesity was observed among private school (AOR= 3.44, 95% CI: 1.39, 8.49), high family socioeconomic class (AOR=16.88, 95%CI: 6.48, 23.97), sweet foods preference (AOR = 2.31, 95%CI: 1.04, 5.12), physical inactivity or not engaging in vigirous sport exercise (AOR=3.83, 95%CI: 1.50, 9.80) , sedentary life style like spent free time in viewing television (AOR=3.57, 95%CI: 1.62, 7.86) and play computer game (AOR=4.59, 95%CI: 1.37, 15.37) for more than 6 hours, sleeping habit in afternoon (AOR= 2.58, 95%CI: 1.00, 6.66) and not having close friends(AOR=2.98, 95%CI: 1.43, 6.24). Conclusion and Recommendations: One out of seven children were overweight and one out of seventeen were obese.Therefore more attention should be given to this childhood problem at each level of stakeholder. Collaboration of the health, education and NGO sectors should be initiated. Creating awareness of the community on healthy diet, physical activates and reducing sedentary behavior through school and public media and other methods should be given emphasis.

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

description: A bridge is a structure that crosses over a river, bay, or other obstruction, permitting the smooth and safe passage of vehicles, trains, and pedestrians. Bridge construction today has achieved a worldwide level of importance. Bridges are the key elements in any road network. Use of concrete girder is gaining popularity in railway bridge engineering because of its better stability, serviceability, economy, aesthetic appearance and structural efficiency. The structural behavior of box girder is complicated, which is difficult to analyze in its actual conditions by conventional methods. In this project a simply supported Box Girder Bridge made of pre stressed concrete is analyzed for moving loads following different standards and specifications. The Ethiopian Government has constructed Addis Ababa light rail transit (AALRT) project and also has started the construction of national railway project for different corridors of the country is under construction with CREC (China Railway Engineering Company) and another foreign (international) contractors. The railway bridge commonly contains two types of tracks which are ballasted and slab track. This project principally emphases on the superstructure of bridge supporting track rails attached to the bridge to support trains. Thus, this project has attempted to develop the Micro soft Excel program to analyze and design the Pre-stressed Concrete (PSC) Girder Railway Bridge for any span length

description: The recent discovery of gravitational waves from mergers of $\sim 10 \, M_{\odot}$ black hole binaries has stimulated interested in Primordial Black Hole dark matter in this mass range. Microlensing and dynamical constraints exclude all of the dark matter being in compact objects with a delta function mass function in the range $10^{-7} \lesssim M/ M_{\odot} \lesssim 10^{5}$. However it has been argued that all of the dark matter could be composed of compact objects in this range with an extended mass function. We explicitly recalculate the microlensing and dynamical constraints for compact objects with an extended mass function which replicates the PBH mass function produced by inflation models. We find that the microlensing and dynamical constraints place conflicting constraints on the width of the mass function, and do not find a mass function which satisfies both constraints.

description: Current $γ$-ray telescopes suffer from a gap in sensitivity in the energy range between 100keV and 100MeV, and no polarisation measurement has ever been done on cosmic sources above 1MeV. Past and present e$^+$e$^-$ pair telescopes are limited at lower energies by the multiple scattering of electrons in passive tungsten converter plates. This results in low angular resolution, and, consequently, a drop in sensitivity to point sources below 1GeV. The polarisation information, which is carried by the azimuthal angle of the conversion plane, is lost for the same reasons. HARPO (Hermetic ARgon POlarimeter) is an R\&D program to characterise the operation of a gaseous detector (a Time Projection Chamber or TPC) as a high angular-resolution and sensitivity telescope and polarimeter for $γ$ rays from cosmic sources. It represents a first step towards a future space instrument in the MeV-GeV range. We built and characterised a 30cm cubic demonstrator [SPIE 91441M], and put it in a polarised $γ$-ray beam at the NewSUBARU accelerator in Japan. Data were taken at photon energies from 1.74MeV to 74MeV, and with different polarisation configurations. We describe the experimental setup in beam. We then describe the software we developed to reconstruct the photon conversion events, with special focus on low energies. We also describe the thorough simulation of the detector used to compare results. Finally we will present the performance of the detector as extracted from this analysis and preliminary measurements of the polarisation asymmetry. This beam-test qualification of a gas TPC prototype in a $γ$-ray beam could open the way to high-performance $γ$-ray astronomy and polarimetry in the MeV-GeV energy range in the near future.

description: Maintained by environmental fluxes, biological systems are thermodynamic processes that operate far from equilibrium without detailed-balance dynamics. Yet, they often exhibit well defined nonequilibrium steady states (NESSs). More importantly, critical thermodynamic functionality arises directly from transitions among their NESSs, driven by environmental switching. Here, we identify constraints on excess thermodynamic quantities that ride above the NESS housekeeping background. We do this by extending the Crooks fluctuation theorem to transitions among NESSs, without invoking an unphysical dual dynamics. This and corresponding integral fluctuation theorems determine how much work must be expended when controlling systems maintained far from equilibrium. This generalizes feedback control theory, showing that Maxwellian Demons can leverage mesoscopic-state information to take advantage of the excess energetics in NESS transitions. Altogether, these point to universal thermodynamic laws that are immediately applicable to the accessible degrees of freedom within the effective dynamic at any emergent level of hierarchical organization. By way of illustration, this readily allows analyzing a voltage-gated sodium ion channel whose molecular conformational dynamics play a critical functional role in propagating action potentials in mammalian neuronal membranes.

description: We present upper limits in the hard X-ray and gamma-ray bands at the time of the LIGO gravitational-wave event GW 151226 derived from the CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) observation. The main instrument of CALET, CALorimeter (CAL), observes gamma-rays from ~1 GeV up to 10 TeV with a field of view of ~2 sr. The CALET gamma-ray burst monitor (CGBM) views ~3 sr and ~2pi sr of the sky in the 7 keV - 1 MeV and the 40 keV - 20 MeV bands, respectively, by using two different scintillator-based instruments. The CGBM covered 32.5% and 49.1% of the GW 151226 sky localization probability in the 7 keV - 1 MeV and 40 keV - 20 MeV bands respectively. We place a 90% upper limit of 2 x 10^{-7} erg cm-2 s-1 in the 1 - 100 GeV band where CAL reaches 15% of the integrated LIGO probability (~1.1 sr). The CGBM 7 sigma upper limits are 1.0 x 10^{-6} erg cm-2 s-1 (7-500 keV) and 1.8 x 10^{-6} erg cm-2 s-1 (50-1000 keV) for one second exposure. Those upper limits correspond to the luminosity of 3-5 x 10^{49} erg s-1 which is significantly lower than typical short GRBs.

Registration involves finding a spatial transformation that aligns one image to another by optimizing relevant image similarity metrics. In this paper, we introduce itk-elastix, a userfriendly Python wrapping of the mature elastix registration toolbox. The open-source tool supports rigid, affine, and B-spline deformable registration, making it versatile for various imaging datasets. By utilizing the modular design of itk-elastix, users can efficiently configure and compare different registration methods, and embed these in image analysis workflows.

description: Four candidates of eclipsing multiples, based on new extraneous eclipses found on Kepler binary light curves, are presented and studied. KIC 7622486 is a double eclipsing binary candidate with orbital period of 2.2799960 days and 40.246503 days. The two binary systems do not eclipse each other in the line of sight, but there is mutual gravitational influence between them which leads to the small but definite eccentricity 0.0035(0.0022) on the short 2.2799960 days period orbit. KIC 7668648 is hierarchical quadruple system candidate, with two sets of solid 203(+-5) days period extraneous eclipses and another independent set of extraneous eclipses. A clear and credible extraneous eclipse is found on the binary light curve of KIC 7670485 which made it a triple system candidates. Two sets of extraneous eclipse of about 390 days and 220 days period are found on KIC 8938628 binary curves, which not only confirms the previous conclusion of $388.5(+-0.3) triple system, but also proposed a new additional objects that make KIC 8938628 a hierarchical quadruple system candidates. It is wished that the four candidates here will make some contributions to the field of eclipsing multiples.

description: The Zeeman splitting of the conduction band in the HgTe quantum wells both with normal and inverted spectrum has been studied experimentally in a wide electron density range. The simultaneous analysis of the SdH oscillations in low magnetic fields at different tilt angles and of the shape of the oscillations in moderate magnetic fields gives a possibility to find the ratio of the Zeeman splitting to the orbital one and anisotropy of g-factor. It is shown that the ratios of the Zeeman splitting to the orbital one are close to each other for both types of structures, with a normal and inverted spectrum and they are close enough to the values calculated within kP method. In contrast, the values of g-factor anisotropy in the structures with normal and inverted spectra is strongly different and for both cases differs significantly from the calculated ones. We believe that such disagreement with calculations is a result of the interface inversion asymmetry in the HgTe quantum well, which is not taken into account in the kP calculations.

Creators: name: Alexander, Zeleke
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: There is an extensive effort by Ethiopian government to expand railway infrastructure throughout the nation. To achieve the strategy, the railway projects are contracted to foreign contractors due to lack of experience and knowledge of local contractors in railway construction. Therefore, this research is designed to identify this gap and build a nation capacity in railway construction management. The main objectives of this research are to compare organization structure of Awash – Weldia railway project contractor and Addis Ababa – Djibouti railway project contractor. In addition this, to study project organization structure and assess key project management practices for construction of railway track, bridge and tunnel. This study starts with literature review of relevant documents on project, project management, project organization and optimal project organizational structure. Furthermore, core processes of project management that are planning, execution and controlling processes are discussed in detail. Project management factors, key aspects of project management implementation and value and benefits of project management implementation are also part of literature review. Then, it assess controlling and evaluating method of the construction works. Finally, it gathers data through interview and desk study; and document construction process in railway track, bridge and tunnel. Comparison of organizational structures shows Yapi Merkezi has a higher quality in terms of specialization, hierarchy of authority, professionalism, size, organizational technology, the environment and organization's culture than china railway group limited. To efficiently organize local railway projects for construction of railway track, bridge and tunnel; ERC or local contractors' have to be organized in construction and technical office divisions.

description: The EM field pattern created by spectators in relativistic heavy-ion collisions plants a seed of positive (negative) magnetic helicity in the hemisphere above (below) the reaction plane. Owing to the chiral anomaly, the magnetic helicity interacts with the fermionic helicity of the collision system, and causes photons emitted in upper- and lower-hemispheres to have different preferences in the circular polarization. In this paper, we lay down a procedure to measure the variation of the circular polarization w.r.t the reaction plane in relativistic heavy-ion collisions for massless photons, as well as similar polarization patterns for vector mesons decaying into two daughters. We propose to study the yield differentially and compare the yield between upper- and lower-hemispheres in order to identify and quantify such effects.

description: Introduction: Pain is an unpleasant and subjective experience that involves sensory, affective, cognitive, social, and behavioral components. The WHO statistics indicated that approximately 2 million people suffer from pain everyday worldwide. Pain is one of the most common symptoms in patients with malignant tumor, substantially affecting patients' quality of life. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer considered as a major life stress can cause or aggravate the related psychological distress. Some studies have indicated that anxiety was one of the common psychological distresses in cancer patients(1, 2). Objective: To assess the prevalence of cancer pain and anxiety and associated factors among patients admitted to oncology ward, TASH, Ethiopia, 2017. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted. The sample size was calculated using single population proportion formula. Data collectors were instructed to check the completeness of the instrument just after its completion. Moreover, the collected data was coded, cleaned and explored before analysis to check missing items and completeness of the collected data. Odds ratio was computed to assess the presence and magnitude of association between dependent and independent variables. Moreover, a logistic regression was done to control the possible confounding effect so as to assess the separate effects of the variables. Result: From the total 220 subjects, 72.3% had cancer or treatment related pain. Of those who had pain, 80% had moderate to very severe pain and 62.3% did believe that the cause of their pain was cancer lesion. Moreover, only 48.2% used pain management. Interference of ADL due to pain was mentioned by 61.5% respondents of the total 160 subjects who have pain. Colorectal cancer 49(22.3%) was the most prevalent cancer type followed by lung cancer 29(13.2%). About 70(31.8%) of participants were in clinical stage IV. On the other hand 101(45.9%) of the respondents have waited 0-3 months. the rest 68(30.9%) and 51 (23.2%) had length of stay of 4-6 and >6 months before beginning RX, respectively. Pain and anxiety were significantly associated. Besides, length of stay, duration since they knew their DX, cancer types and stage of the disease were important determinants of cancer pain and anxiety. Conclusion: The investigation revealed that three fourth of cancer patients suffered from pain and anxiety was common among cancer pts. Recommendation: It would be better if TASH administrative bodies, researchers and nurses of oncology ward consider pain and anxiety as priority problems to be managed accordingly

description: Recently, Addis Ababa is facing with problems related to improper functioning of the drainage systems. This problem become a serious issue during the rainy seasons. Some roads are flooded with usual rain. Light railway transit is introduced to the city since 2014. The railway uses the road drainage network for disposal of runoff generated from the catchment. This project deals with the assessment of the performance of the integrated drainage systems of light railway and road way. The study mainly focus on the cause of flooding on East west line at Sahlite - Meheret round about. The project use EPA SWMM v5.1 for the hydrology and hydraulics modeling in conjunction with ARC GIS 10.1 for the catchment delineation using the manholes as a catchment out let. Fifteen minutes intensity is taken from the IDF curve developed from Bole station for return period of 2,5,10,25,50 and 100 years. The modeling result show that for return period of 10 and 25 years, two manholes were flooded for about 12 minutes and the volume of runoff is about 49 cubic meter for manhole designated as A16 and 7 cubic meter for junction designated as C32, so the project state the remedial measure to be taken to overcome the problems. Pipe connecting the manhole designated as A16-A15-A14 and B13 should be changed from 750 mm to 1200 mm diameter concrete pipe. It is found that there is a differences between the design and construction for pipe connecting A30-A31 and C32 the design provide 750 mm diameter concrete pipe and due to the flooding the pipe where replaced with 3m by 2m rectangular box culvert, and to overcome the common undesirable spreading of the storm water on the surface of the road for common intensity, the manhole inlet and the pipe should be cleaned frequently.

title: Zwischen Pflicht und Freiwilligkeit: Determinanten der verpflichtenden Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung : eine empirische Untersuchung der nichtfinanziellen Erklärung (NfE)

description: Die verpflichtende Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung ist auf dem Weg das Nachhaltigkeitsreporting von Unternehmen zu verändern. Eine wachsende Zahl an Unternehmen muss immer häufiger Informationen offenlegen, die sie vormals bewusst nicht publizierten. Einige Unternehmen könnten dies als ein Hindernis sehen, andere erkennen darin womöglich eine Chance für die Unternehmenskommunikation. Indem sie über gesetzlichen Mindestanforderungen hinaus publizieren und sich damit für eine umfassendere und transparentere Berichterstattung entscheiden, könnten Unternehmen von Profilierungsmöglichkeiten und Wettbewerbsvorteile profitieren. Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Frage zu beantworten, welche Determinanten die freiwillige Offenlegung von Informationen, die über die gesetzlichen Mindestanforderungen der nichtfinanziellen Erklärung (NfE) hinausgehen, beeinflussen. Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurde eine quantitative Inhaltsanalyse von 200 nach dem § 289b Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB) berichtspflichtigen Unternehmen durchgeführt. Hierzu wurden die nichtfinanziellen Erklärungen und weitere nachhaltigkeitsbezogene Informationen auf ihrer Unternehmenswebsite analysiert. Zudem wurde ein Offenlegungsscore konzipiert, um den Grad der zusätzlichen freiwilligen Offenlegung zu messen. Anschließend wurde untersucht, inwieweit Einflussfaktoren eine über die gesetzlichen Mindestanforderungen hinausgehende Offenlegung erklären können. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einen signifikanten Zusammenhang zwischen den Determinanten Unternehmensgröße, Berichtshistorie, Vorstandsgröße sowie dem Anteil ausländischer Vorstandsmitglieder und dem Offenlegungsgrad von freiwilligen zusätzlichen nichtfinanziellen Informationen. Hingegen konnte kein signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen dem Offenlegungsgrad und den Determinanten Branchenzugehörigkeit, Kapitalmarktorientierung und Frauenanteil im Vorstand beobachtet werden.

description: Based on previous work [1-6], this paper investigates the response of the ionosphere to a moderate earthquake in Japan using a multi-frequency, multiple-path coherent radio system at Harbin Engineering University (HEU complex). The study examines the time-varying characteristics of HF radio waves along 2 propagation paths over China, analyzing Doppler spectra, Doppler shift, and signal amplitudes. The results reveal that the earthquake led to the spreading of Doppler spectra and varying Doppler frequency shifts in a quasi-periodic manner. The delay time and propagation speed of disturbances were estimated, and two additional earthquakes were analyzed for comparison. Ionograms were also used to analyze the effect of ionospheric structure on disturbance propagation. This study emphasizes the need to better understand the interconnected subsystems within the Earth's interior layers, atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere to comprehend the dynamics of the system.

description: The energy-dependent cross section of the 7Be(n,alpha)4He reaction, of interest for the so-called Cosmological Lithium Problem in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, has been measured for the first time from 10 meV to 10 keV neutron energy. The challenges posed by the short half-life of 7Be and by the low reaction cross section have been overcome at n_TOF thanks to an unprecedented combination of the extremely high luminosity and good resolution of the neutron beam in the new experimental area (EAR2) of the n_TOF facility at CERN, the availability of a sufficient amount of chemically pure 7Be, and a specifically designed experimental setup. Coincidences between the two alpha-particles have been recorded in two Si-7Be-Si arrays placed directly in the neutron beam. The present results are consistent, at thermal neutron energy, with the only previous measurement performed in the 60's at a nuclear reactor. The energy dependence here reported clearly indicates the inadequacy of the cross section estimates currently used in BBN calculations. Although new measurements at higher neutron energy may still be needed, the n_TOF results hint to a minor role of this reaction in BBN, leaving the long-standing Cosmological Lithium problem unsolved.

description: Back ground: Appropriate medical care seeking behavior could prevent a significant number of child deaths and complications due to acute diarrhoeal illnesses. This study aims to determine factors affecting initiations of early care seeking behavior /HSB/ of mothers /care takers/ towards acute diarrhoeal illnesses, thereby improving child health. Objective: To determine the factors affecting initiation of early care seeking behavior among mothers and care takers of under five children having acute diarrhea attending IMNCI clinic. Method: A quantitative /cross-sectional/ and qualitative institutional based survey was conducted to assess the factors affecting initiation of early care seeking behavior of mothers /care takers/ towards acute diarrhea at the selected health centers of Addis Ababa. Sample size is 333. The collected data was cleaned and checked for completeness, then was entered, compiled and analyzed using SPSS version 16.00 for further analysis. Results: Out of 333 respondents identified for the study 100% (n=333) were responded for the interview. From the total of 100% (n=333) respondents 59.2% (n=197) of them were not seek any care. The mean time for seeking care was 2.45 days. Majority of the respondents have no any information about danger signs. Conclusions and Recommendations: The findings enhance our understanding of the factors that influence treatment-seeking behavior of the mother/care-givers in cases of childhood diarrhoea. The caregivers, especially the mothers need to be educated about the importance of seeking appropriate and timely treatment. Most of the factors that negatively affect decision to seek treatment are addressable by creating community awareness and health systems strengthening

description: The notion of Bregman divergence and sufficiency will be defined on general convex state spaces. It is demonstrated that only spectral sets can have a Bregman divergence that satisfies a sufficiency condition. Positive elements with trace 1 in a Jordan algebra are examples of spectral sets, and the most important example is the set of density matrices with complex entries. It is conjectured that information theoretic considerations lead directly to the notion of Jordan algebra under some regularity conditions.
