description: In this paper, the dependence of the broad Fe K$α$ line on the physical parameters of AGN, such as the black hole mass $M_{BH}$, accretion rate (equivalently represented by Eddington ratio $λ_{Edd}$), and optical classification, is investigated by applying the X-ray spectra stacking method to a large sample of AGN which have well measured optical parameters. A broad line feature is detected ($>3σ$) in the stacked spectra of the high $λ_{Edd}$ sub-sample ($\logλ_{Edd}>-0.9$). The profile of the broad line can be well fitted with relativistic broad line model, with the line energy consistent with highly ionized Fe K$α$ line (i.e. Fe xxvi). A model consisting of multiple narrow lines cannot be ruled out, however. We found hints that the Fe K line becomes broader as the $λ_{Edd}$ increases. No broad line feature is shown in the sub-sample of broad-line Seyfert 1 (BLS1) galaxies and in the full sample, while a broad line might be present, though at low significance, in the sub-sample of narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies. We find no strong dependence of the broad line on black hole masses. Our results indicate that the detection/properties of the broad Fe K$α$ line may strongly depend on $λ_{Edd}$, which can be explained if the ionization state and/or truncation radius of the accretion disc changes with $λ_{Edd}$. The non-detection of the broad line in the BLS1 sub-sample can be explained if the the average EW of the relativistic Fe K$α$ line is weak or/and the fraction of sources with relativistic Fe K$α$ line is small in BLS1 galaxies.

Year: 2016

description: Currently track circuit system is used for train controlling and signaling along Ethio-Djibouti railway line. However, track circuit system has a lot of limitations such as low data rate, narrow bandwidth, malfunction in bad weather and low reliability. Train control system is crucial issue that needs improvement in selected railway corridor. On other hand adopting entertainments for passengers will add a value for the company (Ethiopian Railway Corporation). This thesis work analyze, design and dimension the WiMAX network for advanced real-time two-way communications services for the case of Addis-to-Djibouti. The main significance of WiMAX network for the selected route is attaining robust train control system and providing fast enough communication for passengers, real-time services for stations and on board controllers, and etc... The study attempted in order to address the need to invest on more communication speed levels in Ethiopia and future available upgrade options from under construction system. In addition, levels of safety standards and train control technology are investigated by comparing with other communication systems. The research objectives endeavored by identifying series of steps towards achieving the best communication system along the selected route which can provide wide bandwidth. This will result safe, efficient and competitive transportation system. The study mainly focus on WiMAX network coverage and capacity calculation in order to get appropriate position for transmitters (BTS) along the selected route. The numerical and simulation results offer a best mobile broadband network for different purposes on the specific transportation system such as train control, signaling, online ticketing, real time multimedia, online gaming and downloading. The study methodologies selected are qualitative, quantitative and analytical data analysis methods and similarly data presentation methods of the study include, not exclusively; graphs, charts, tabular formation and in words. Finally computer aided simulation have done by using Atoll software and matlab. The scope of the research outlined is discussion concerning only the components of railroad infrastructure which are both technical and non-technical in their nature. The final outputs of the study are documented series of technical measures that will enable Ethiopian rail service to boost its communication system speed.

description: We explore the ground state properties of cold atomic gases, loaded into a bichromatic lattice, focusing on the cases of non-interacting fermions and hard-core (Tonks-Girardeau) bosons, trapped by the combination of two potentials with incommensurate periods. For such systems, two limiting cases have been thoroughly established. In the tight-binding limit, the single-particle states in the lowest occupied band show a localization transition, as the strength of the second potential is increased above a certain threshold. In the continuous limit, when the tight-binding approximation does not hold anymore, a mobility edge is found, whose position in energy depends upon the strength of the second potential. Here, we study how the crossover from the discrete to the continuum behavior occurs, and prove that signatures of the localization transition and mobility edge clearly appear in the generic many-body properties of the systems. Specifically, we evaluate the momentum distribution, which is a routinely measured quantity in experiments with cold atoms, and demonstrate that, even in the presence of strong boson-boson interactions, the single particle mobility edge can be observed in the ground state properties.

description: The Peccei-Quinn mechanism presents a neat solution to the strong CP problem. As a by-product, it provides an ideal dark matter candidate, "the axion", albeit with a tiny mass. Axions therefore can act as dark radiation if excited with large momenta after the end of inflation. Nevertheless, the recent measurement of relativistic degrees of freedom from cosmic microwave background radiation strictly constrains the abundance of such extra relativistic species. We show that ultra-relativistic axions can be abundantly produced if the Peccei-Quinn field was initially displaced from the minimum of the potential. This in lieu places an interesting constraint on the axion dark matter window with large decay constant which is expected to be probed by future experiments. Moreover, an upper bound on the reheating temperature can be placed, which further constrains the thermal history of our Universe.

description: In the United States, the majority of waste workers work with solid waste. In solid waste operations, collection, sorting, and disposal can lead to elevated biohazard exposures (e.g., bioaerosols, bloodborne and other pathogens, human and animal excreta). This cross-sectional pilot study aimed to characterize solid waste worker perception of biohazard exposures, as well as worker preparedness and available resources (e.g., access to personal protective equipment, levels of training) to address potential biohazard exposures. Three sites were surveyed: 1) a family-owned, small-scale waste disposal facility, 2) a county-level, recycling-only facility, and 3) an industrial-sized, large-scale facility that contains a hauling and landfill division. Survey items characterized occupational biohazards, resources to mitigate and manage those biohazards, and worker perceptions of biohazard exposures. Descriptive statistics were generated. The majority of workers did not report regularly coming into contact with blood, feces, and bodily fluids (79%). As such, less than one-fifth were extremely concerned about potential illness from biological exposures (19%). Yet, most workers surveyed (71%) reported an accidental laceration/cut that would potentially expose workers to biohazards. This study highlights the need for additional research on knowledge of exposure pathways and perceptions of severity of exposure among this occupational group.

description: Individual differences in brain functional networks may be related to complex personal identifiers, including health, age, and ability. Understanding and quantifying these differences is a necessary first step towards developing predictive methods derived from network topology. Here, we present a method to quantify individual differences in brain functional dynamics by applying hypergraph analysis, a method from dynamic network theory. Using a summary metric derived from the hypergraph formalism---hypergraph cardinality---we investigate individual variations in two separate and complementary data sets. The first data set ("multi-task") consists of 77 individuals engaging in four consecutive cognitive tasks. We observed that hypergraph cardinality exhibits variation across individuals while remaining consistent within individuals between tasks; moreover, one of the memory tasks evinced a marginally significant correspondence between hypergraph cardinality and age. This finding motivated a similar analysis of the second data set ("age-memory"), in which 95 individuals of varying ages performed a memory task with a similar structure to the multi-task memory task. With the increased age range in the age-memory data set, the correlation between hypergraph cardinality and age correspondence becomes significant. We discuss these results in the context of the well-known finding linking age with network structure, and suggest that age-related changes in brain function can be better understood by taking an integrative approach that incorporates information about the dynamics of functional interactions.

description: Planetary Intimacy is a contribution to the Anthropocene Curriculum and COURSES platform "On Curricula". The essay text addresses the seemingly opposed notions of distance and proximity with intimacy and planetarity to call for new kinds of intimacy, not closeness global grid but as an interconnected network of locales. Through such an approach, Allen suggests, the multiple distances—in terms of both geography and understanding—at play within the Anthropocene might be better apprehended.

Creators: name: Dawit, Aster
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Background Kangaroo mother care is a universally available and biologically sound method of care for all newborns, particularly for premature babies. It facilitates longer duration of breast feeding and has great effect on improving the health of the neonate in babies submitted to KMC. Objective: This study was carried out to assess exclusive breast feeding practice, association between KMC and exclusive breast feeding and factors affecting it among mothers who provided kangaroo mother care to their preterm infants. Methods and materials: A cross sectional study design was conducted among 297 preterm infants who were practiced exclusive breast feeding with their mothers who were under Kangaroo mother care in Black lion hospital high risk follow up clinic, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Data were collected using interviewer administered structured, pretested questionnaire and entry was made by Epidata vertion3.1 & analyzed using SPSS window version 20 soft ware. Logistic regression model was used to determine independent determinants of kangaroo mother care. Results: In these study 297 mothers performed kangaroo mother care and the infants that practiced exclusive breast feeding were 166 (55.9%) and p=.000 at the time of hospital discharge.76.1% of the Mothers initiated KMC immediately. 73.1% were practiced KMC continuously in a day. The respondents who were started KMC immediately were 2.3 times increase in breast feeding by KMC.[AOR 2.303, 95% CI 0.871, 6.078] P <0.5. The respondents practiced KMC continuously at home were14.266 times increased to practice exclusive breast feeding,[ (AOR 14.266, 95% CI (3.516, 57.878)] The mothers who got problem during their home stay were 0.222 times less to practice exclusive breast feeding KMC at home [AOR 0.222, 95%CI .076, .652]. Conclusion: The study shows the importance of KMC during the initiation of exclusive breast feeding immediately after delivery and continued at home for breast feeding duration. Hence, KMC has empowering effects on the process of breast feeding in preterm infants.

description: We study a geometric transition in non-perturbative topological string. We consider two cases. One is the geometric transition from the closed topological string on the local $\mathcal{B}_{3}$ to the closed topological string on the resolved conifold. The other is the geometric transition from the closed topological string on the local $\mathcal{B}_{3}$ to the open topological string on the resolved conifold with a toric A-brane. We find that, in both cases, the geometric transition can be applied for the non-perturbative topological string. We also find the corrections of the value of Kähler parameters at which the geometric transition occurs.

description: Disclaimers: This version 1.0. of the White Paper is the version created on the basis of the results of work in the project to date. The views and recommendations presented therein are therefore of a temporary nature, and may change in the further course of the project. The final version 2.0. of the recommendation will be prepared at the end of the project, after collecting the final results of the
 research work in all the work packages. In particular, the final version 2.0. of the recommendation will be supplemented with the results of empirical research carried out under WP1 on re-use and analytical work on the legal evaluation of the applicable regulations carried out under WP2. This deliverable - White Paper with legal recommendations - summarises legal recommendations resulting from the analysis conducted in the inDICEs project addressing the European Commission and other policy makers active in the field of cultural heritage. The White Paper consists of three main parts: assumptions for legal recommendations, legal recommendations based on the work performed through a comparative cross-national legal analysis (WP2), legal recommendations based on value chains analysis - an outcome of the policy analysis. The basis for the development of these recommendations was the analytical work carried out as part of the inDICEs project. An important point of reference for the recommendations presented here was the understanding of the socio-economic values generated in the area of digital cultural heritage following the Culture 3.0 paradigm, which blurs the boundaries between producers and users, and thus makes it necessary to redefine the role of copyright itself and its normative shape in the new realm. To this end, the White Paper is based on three assumptions. It indicates, against the background of the traditional understanding of the role of copyright, the need to treat works not as property, but as heritage. Furthermore it relies on the culture cycle UNESCO approach providing the public mission carried out by cultural heritage institutions (CHIs) as of particular importance. Finally, the recommendations place the proposed changes in the copyright system in the context of the right to culture notion.

description: We present first-principles total-energy electronic-structure calculations that provide the microscopic mechanism of the Ag atom diffusion between the half unit cells (HUCs) on the Si(111)-(7x7) surface with and without the tip of the atomic force microscope (AFM). We find that, without the presence of the AFM tip, the diffusions between the two HUCs are almost symmetric with the energy barrier of about 1 eV in the both directions. The diffusion is a two-step process with an intermediate metastable configuration in which the Ag atom is at the boundary of the HUCs. With the presence of the tip, we find that the reaction pathways are essentially the same, but the energy barrier in one direction is substantially reduced to be 0.2 - 0.4 eV by the tip, while that of the diffusion in the reverse direction remains larger than 1 eV. The Si tip reduces the energy barrier more than the Pt tip due to the flexibility of the tip apex structure. In addition to the reduction of the barrier, the tip traps the diffusing adatom preventing the diffusion in the reverse direction. Also we find that the shape of the tip apex structure is important for the trapping ability of the adatom. When the tip apex structure is blunt, the adatom interacts with the tip atom other than the tip apex atom. The bond formation between the AFM tip atom and the surface adatom is essential for the atom manipulation using the AFM tip. Our results show that the atom manipulation is possible with both the metallic and semiconducting AFM tips.

description: Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)-based order picking (OP) systems, also known as Robotic Mobile Fulfilment Systems, continues to receive attention in industry and academia since their introduction as Kiva systems. A key component of AGV-based OP systems is the ‘robots’ (or AGVs) that pick up the ‘pods’ and transport them to the appropriate pick station (PS), where a picker picks the items ordered by customers. The performance of such systems depends on the shape of the forward area (FA) and the number of AGVs, which in turn depends on the time it takes an AGV to retrieve a pod. To aid system designers, we explore alternative shapes for the FA and we derive closed-form expressions for the expected AGV travel distances under two possible order assignment rules. Under the random assignment rule, an order is assigned to any PS with equal probability. Under the closest assignment rule, the order is assigned to the closest PS. We also examine the impact of alternative PS configurations for different shapes of the FA. The results offer valuable insights concerning expected travel distances under alternative design configurations. The results would also be useful when building design and performance evaluation models for AGV-based OP systems.

description: We report a systematic first-principles investigation of the influence of different magnetic insulators on the magnetic proximity effect induced in graphene. Four different magnetic insulators are considered: two ferromagnetic europium chalcogenides namely EuO and EuS and two ferrimagnetic insulators yttrium iron garnet (YIG) and cobalt ferrite (CFO). The obtained exchange-splitting varies from tens to hundreds of meV. We also find an electron doping induced by YIG and europium chalcogenides substrates, that shift the Fermi level up to 0.78 eV and 1.3 eV respectively, whereas hole doping up to 0.5 eV is generated by CFO. Furthermore, we study the variation of the extracted exchange and tight binding parameters as a function of the EuO and EuS thicknesses. We show that those parameters are robust to thickness variation such that a single monolayer of magnetic insulator can induce a large magnetic proximity effect on graphene. Those findings pave the way towards possible engineering of graphene spin-gating by proximity effect especially in view of recent experiments advancement.

description: This study examines the impacts of Monterey policy on output and price in Ethiopia by employing VECM Co-integration VAR model. There are different test were used in this studies before the analysis and domestic credit used as the proxy for monetary policy in Ethiopia and the main findings of the study are: gross domestic product, net foreign asset, Treasury bill yield rates and reserve money are all significantly and positively related to the domestic credit in the long run in Ethiopia. Consumer price index affects negatively and significantly to domestic credit in Ethiopia. The other two variables oil price and real effective exchange rates are not significant in the long run. None of the variables are significant in the short run and the speed of adjustment towards long run equilibrium takes many years to make a full adjustment for the shocks in the system. Since money and capital markets are still at rudimentary stages with very few securities and given the lack of short-term money markets, interest rate policies are almost unused in the conduct of monetary policy in Ethiopia. It is, therefore, recommended that monetary authorities target monetary aggregate as a policy variable for effective monetary policy implementation. In addition, Monetary authorities should be put much effort to move towards more market based monetary and financial sector policies. In addition to the broad money and it also important to include other monetary aggregates that it may capture the monetary phenomenon of the country.
Assessment of Knowledge, Attitude and Preventive Practices Towards Sexully Transmitted Infection Among Arsi Negelle Kilture Preparatory School Students West Arsi Zone Oromia, Ethiopia, 2016

description: Background: sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are a major global cause of acute illness, infertility, long-term disability and death with serious medical and psychological consequences of millions of men, women and infants. In America surveillance data showed that both young men and young women are heavily affected by STI but young women face the most serious long-term health consequences. Due to their high prevalence, particularly in developing settings, STIs result in substantial productivity losses for individuals and communities, particularly where the majority of the population is less than 40 years of age. The problem of reporting STIs in Ethiopia is generally thought to be similar with other developing countries. Objectives: the objective of this study is to assess knowledge, attitude and preventive practices towards STIs among Arsi Negelle town preparatory school students. Methodology: institutional based cross sectional quantitave study design was employed. A Proportionaite Stratified random sampling technique was used and finally a total of 303 respondents were selected by using systematic random sampling method taking every 4th individual for both strata. Self-administered structured questionnaire which was primarily prepared in English language then translated to Amharic and afan Oromo and retranslated back to English by translator in order to look for consistency of the questions after completely correcting a pretest was done on 5% of the sample at other preparatory school students two weeks prior to te actual data collection time and questionnaire was checked for completeness on daily basis. Result: a total of 303 kilture preparatory school students participated in the study nearly the entire respondents had heard about STIs primarly from radio or TV. Only half (50.8%) of respondents had good knowdege about STIs and 54.5% of respondents were identified to have positive attitude towards STIs. From total participant 38.6% of them reported as they had history of sexual intercourse. Conclusion and recommendation: most of respondents in this study had heard about STIs in one or another way however only slightly near half of respondents have good knowledge regarding the different types of STIs, causes, modes of transmission and method of prevention. This study had call for continued and strengthened health education to bring change in respondents bearing specifically focusing on how to overcome gender differences with respect to knowledge, attitude and preventive practices towards STIs.

description: We provide a set of tools for analyzing the geometry of elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds, starting with a description of the total space rather than with a Weierstrass model or a specified type of fiber/base. Such an approach to the subject of F-theory compactification makes certain geometric properties, which are usually hidden, manifest. Specifically, we review how to isolate genus-one fibrations in such geometries and then describe how to find their sections explicitly. This includes a full parameterization of the Mordell-Weil group where non-trivial. We then describe how to analyze the associated Weierstrass models, Jacobians and resolved geometries. We illustrate our discussion with concrete examples which are complete intersections in products of projective spaces (CICYs). The examples presented include cases exhibiting non-abelian symmetries and higher rank Mordell-Weil group. We also make some comments on non-flat fibrations in this context. In a companion paper [1] to this one, these results will be used to analyze the consequences for string dualities of the ubiquity of multiple fibrations in known constructions of Calabi-Yau manifolds.

description: Le emozioni e i sentimenti personali sono occasioni di apertura e di speranza che possono rappresentare una nuova energia vitale da cui partire, per ripensare la convivenza nel bilanciamento tra esigenze sociali e autonomie personali, bene pubblico e felicità privata. Al centro dell’attenzione è il problema di un’affettività capace di contrastare ogni narcisismo distruttivo, investendo la propria libido nella precarietà del mondo e nella contingenza. In questo contesto, l’esperienza democratica è intesa da Marcella D’Abbiero come una festa del finito, che deve lasciar spazio alla dimensione del desiderio. In una prospettiva analoga aveva argomentato anche Jean-Luc Nancy in un pamphlet in difesa dell’eredità del Sessantotto francese.

Personal emotions and feelings are opportunities for openness and hope that can represent a new vital energy which leads us to rethink coexistence in the balance between social needs and personal autonomy, public good and private happiness. Crucial is the question of an affectivity capable of opposing any destructive narcissism, investing one’s libido in the precariousness of the world and in contingency. In this context, democratic experience is understood by Marcella D’Abbiero as a celebration of the finite, which has to leave room for the dimension of desire. Jean-Luc Nancy had also argued for a similar perspective in a pamphlet defending the legacy of the French Sixty-Eight.

Gesundheitsmanagement im Kontext der Sozialen Arbeit: Ein Beitrag zum Erhalt der psychischen Gesundheit der Fachpersonen im Feld der stationären Kinder- und Jugendarbeit
Creators: name: Schorta, Rico

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das Thema der psychischen Gesundheit von Fachpersonen der Sozialen Arbeit im Feld der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe behandelt. Wie Untersuchungen gezeigt haben, werden Fachpersonen im sozialpädagogischen Feld der stationären Kinder- und Jugendarbeit mit einer hohen Arbeitsbelastung konfrontiert. Die Kinder und Jugendlichen in der Heimlandschaft sind oft mehrfachbelastet und höchst vulnerabel, was die Interaktion und die professionelle Begleitung zu einer Herausforderung machen kann. Die eigene Selbstfürsorge der Fachkräfte wird oft aufgrund des Engagements und der Einsatzbereitschaft in diesem Arbeitsfeld vernachlässigt. Es kann festgestellt werden, dass die Arbeitsbelastung bei mangelnden internen und externen Ressourcen und Bewältigungsstrategien zu schwerwiegenden psychischen Erkrankungen wie emotionaler Erschöpfung, Burn-out-Problematik und Depressionen führen kann. Der Autor dieser Arbeit geht der Frage nach, wie es den Fachkräften trotz hoher Arbeitsbelastung gelingen kann, ihre individuelle psychische Gesundheit erhalten und stärken zu können. Dabei werden einerseits individuelle, andererseits betriebliche Massnahmen in Anlehnung an Selbstfürsorge und betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement dargestellt und die Beziehung zwischen Arbeit und psychischer Gesundheit untersucht.

description: Not surprisingly, an effective logistics sector is now recognized almost everywhere as one of the core enablers of development. The role of logistics in the global economy is better recognized today than it was 10 years ago. Good logistics services reduce the cost of trade. Logistics performance is about how efficiently supply chains connect firms to domestic and international opportunities. The purpose of this thesis was to examine the effect of logistics management on the performance of garment factories in Bole Lemi Industy Park. The study covers all the manufacturing factories in the park. The study used deductive approach and quantitative design to evaluate the magnitude, direction and significance of the various logistics management factors on performance. In the study both primary and secondary data were used. The primary data were collected using a survey method and applying questionnaire as a tool. 61 questionnaires were distributed and a response of 54 were analyzed using correlation and regression methods on SPSS version 20.0. Accordingly, the findings of the analysis confirmed the positive correlation between the independent variables (transport management, inventory management, order processing management and information flow management) and the dependent variable of the study (performance). On the other hand, the regression analysis outcome showed that 59.4% of the variance on performance is accounted for independent variables. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher recommends the factories to work on transport management system, to monitory the inventory level, to have accurate order fulfilment process to shortened order lead time and also to have smooth information flow along all logistics functions.

Führungsentwicklung
Führung von "Work Smart"

description: Braucht mobil-flexible Zusammenarbeit eine andere Führung? Diese Frage beschäftigte uns, als wir unsere Forschungsarbeiten der vergangenen Jahre zum Thema mobil-flexible Arbeit gesamthaft sichteten. Wir stiessen auf besondere Herausforderungen für das Führungshandeln und die Gestaltung der Führungsbeziehung sowie ein verändertes Selbstverständnis der Führungskraft. Beispielsweise dann, wenn im Bereich der Kommunikation insbesondere der Schreibstil beim Verfassen von E-Mails an Mitarbeitende oder die Bewertung von informellen Gesprächen in den Fokus gerät. Des Weiteren stellten sich zum Beispiel viele Fragen zur Mediennutzung, Leistungsmessung und Organisationsstruktur, wenn der Arbeitsort und die -zeit flexibel gewählt werden können. Aber sind das neue Führungsthemen? Haben diese Erkenntnisse einen Neuigkeitswert? Wir denken schon, denn auch wenn die gefundenen Führungsaspekte bereits als Themen der Führungsentwicklung bekannt sind, ist die jeweilige Herausforderung im Kontext mobil-flexibler Zusammenarbeit sehr gross und zum Teil auch ganz neu zu denken. Die Führungskräfte haben nicht nur neue Tools zu lernen, sondern es geht um nichts Geringeres als eine Veränderung der eigenen Haltung und Einstellung, was Führung bedeutet und wie sie gestaltet werden kann. Wir können aus unseren Studien zum Beispiel entnehmen, dass es enorm wichtig ist, gemeinsam im Team zu experimentieren, um zu neuen Regeln der Zusammenarbeit zu kommen. Bin ich es als Führungskraft jedoch gewohnt, die Prozesskontrolle im Hinblick auf ein von mir verantwortetes Ergebnis zu haben, muss ich mich an diesem Punkt mit mir selber auseinandersetzen: Bringe ich ausreichendes Vertrauen auf gegenüber dem Prozess des Experimentierens und meinen Mitarbeitenden? Halte ich die Ergebnisoffenheit nicht nur aus, sondern kann ich mich in das gemeinsame kreative Vorgehen auch produktiv einbringen?

description: The ripple effect refers to disruption propagation across the supply network affecting its global performance. To cope with it, supply networks should be resilient. This study investigates the drivers of supply network resilience, viewed as adaptive capacity to disruptions, focusing on trust and investigating the moderating role of network topology on the relationship between trust and resilience. We first develop an NK agent-based model of the supply network to simulate resilient performance. Then, a simulation analysis is carried out, to assess the effect of trust on the resilience of supply networks displaying different complex topologies. Our results confirm that trust positively affects supply network resilience; however, across the different topologies, the beneficial effect of trust varies. In particular, we find that trust is beneficial at most for the following topologies: local, small-world, block-diagonal, and random. For centralised, diagonal, and hierarchical topologies improving trust increases resilience at a moderat e level. We also find that, as the frequency of disruptions rises, the positive effect of trust on resilience decreases. Managerial implications of the main findings are finally discussed.

description: Numerous studies on submarine iron-rich sediments (BIF, ironstones, etc.) focus on environmental changes and ocean chemistry, however, many questions related to underlying hydrothermal processes remain unresolved. As proximal chemical sediments, Lahn-Dill-type iron ores can provide insight into mechanisms of hydrothermal seafloor alteration related metal scavenging, and subsequent Fe-mineral deposition. Lahn-Dill-type iron ores formed during the Middle/Upper Devonian within the Rhenohercynian back-arc basin associated with intraplate alkali basaltic volcanism. Ores formed on top of volcanogenic successions proximal to centres of volcanic activity. Typically, they occur as hematite-(siderite-)quartz ores reaching up to 60 wt.% Fe. We sampled a 5 m profile within the Fortuna mine in the eastern Rhenish Massif (Lahn syncline, Germany) and conducted a detailed petrographic study and whole rock ICP-MS as well as in-situ LA-ICP-MS geochemical analyses. Iron is commonly mobile under reducing and acidic conditions. However, geochemistry of Lahn-Dill-type iron ores indicates that hydrothermal fluids may have been able to mobilise HFSE pointing at possible alkaline fluids. This is suggested by positive correlations of Fe with certain HFSE including Zr and HREE. Upon venting into seawater, iron likely precipitated as oxyhydroxides that preferably scavenged Si, W, Mo, Pb and V complexes from seawater by sorption. Subsequent deposition on the seafloor as a Si-Fe-rich gel is indicated by crescent-shaped shrinking cracks. Today, mineral assemblages within ore are characterized by fused hematite mats, hematite dispersed in quartz and/or siderite and microcrystalline quartz that may either be interpreted as diagenetic dissolution-precipitation processes, cyclic changes in primary fluid composition, or potentially both.

description: The purpose of this paper is to extend the recent work of Paul & Bandyopadhyay [Astrophys. Space Sci. 361, 172(2016)] on the existence of different dust ion acoustic solitary structures in an unmagnetized collisionless dusty plasma consisting of negatively charged static dust grains, adiabatic warm ions, nonthermal electrons and isothermal positrons in a more generalized form by considering nonthermal positrons instead of isothermal positrons. The present system supports both positive and negative potential double layers, coexistence of solitary waves of both polarities and positive potential supersolitons. The qualitative and the quantitative changes in existence domains of different solitary structures which occur for the presence of nonthermal positrons have been presented in comparison with the results of Paul & Bandyopadhyay [Astrophys. Space Sci. 361, 172(2016)]. The formation of supersoliton structures and their limitations have been analyzed with the help of phase portraits of the dynamical system corresponding to the dust ion acoustic solitary structures. Phase portrait analysis clearly indicates a smooth transition between soliton and supersoliton.
