The issue of abortion is as old as human existence. People since distant past to the present day have used it as a fertility control mechanism. The existing socio cultural factors influence women‟s abortion experiences despite they have their own desires, intention and rationale .Nonetheless,...
Space debris, which are resulted from space activities among other things, are potentialproblemsrnfor the on going space science and development of space technology. A fewrnalternatives in measuring, detecting, tracking and imaging space debris are there. Atmosphericrnsignals contain signals...
Malaria is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Oromiya NationalrnRegional state. Its management and control depends on many factors, some of whichrnhave not been studied at the level of urban community. The objective of this study is tornidentify what households in Jimma Town...
To elucidate malaria transmission and determine its prevalence in a highland-fringernurban area, Akaki, parasitological and entomological investigations were conducted betweenrnOctober 1999 and October 2000. Review of malaria cases was using records of the AddisrnAbaba and Akaki health institutions...
The purpose of the study was to investigate relationships, directions andrnstrength between Test-anxiety, perceived general academic Self-concept, sociorneconomic status, study habit, parental involvement in the education of children, andrnachievement (as dependent variable). The population of the...
Starch is one of the most important and flexible food ingredients possessing value added attributes for innumerable industrial applications. Dioscorea abyssinica (Fam. Dioscoreaceae) is a potential source of starch for large scale production in Ethiopia. Starch is usually modified either chemically...
This thesis is conducted to evaluate seismic vulnerability and investigate nonlinearrnbehaviors of existing reinforced concrete buildings constructed in Addis Ababa. The paperrnexamines four structures using nonlinear dynamic analysis software (IDARC 2D ver. 7.0).rnEach of these structures will be...
The main purpose of this study was to assess the effects of large-scale agricultural investments on local communities: And a special concentration was made on the situation in Gura-ferda woreda. The necessary data for the study were generated both from primary and secondary sources. Hence, in-depth...
Solar energy conversion based on organic and organic/inorganic hybrid solar cells has beenrnstudied in different types of photoelectrochemical cells (PECs). PECs that consist ofrnEu2+/Eu3+ and I3rn-/I- have been designed and studied for their photoresponse behavior. Inrndevices that consist of...
Both nanocrystalline and nanoporous silicon shows interesting optical and light emissionrnproperties. As the system size goes to nanoscale the optical band gap, radiative transitions,rnoscillator strength, absorption coefficient and dielectric function increases. The nanosiliconrnshows unusual...
In this study, HEC-ResSim (Hydrologic Engineering Center-Reservoir System Simulation)rnmodel was used to simulate water use and operation of existing, ongoing and planned hydraulicrninfrastructures, and irrigation schemes in Omo Gibe river basin. For these purpose five differentrnwater resource...
The idea of mobile marketing covers a broad range of marketing or commercial communicationrnthat can be accomplished through mobile phone. Despite the fact that, the marketers are able tornaddress the majority of the audiences easily through mass communication, in the traditionalrnmobile marketing,...
Central areas in Adama have been transforming into either of twornforms - blighted and decayed areas or congested and very poor qualityrnurban environments. It seems that the problem exists as urbanizationrntakes place in the context of relatively slow economic growth,rnineffective legal and...
The voltammetric behavior of aniline and anilinium ion has been studied inrnnitrobenzene as a solvent. T etrabutyl ammonium perchlorate served as a supportingrnelectrolyte in all experiments.rnIn the presence of anilinium ion a cathodic current is observed at about zero Volt,rnwhich we believe is...
This study deals with the history of Jimma town from 1936 to 1974. It exploresrnsocial, economic and administrative themes, but also attempts to show therninterrelationship between these themes.rnSocially, the town of Jimma evolved during this period from a home-town of arnrelatively homogenous...
The level of water pollution and ecological disturbance of Sebeta River was evaluated usingrnsome important physico-chemical and biological parameters. The Physico-chemicalrnparameters were: flow velocity (m/s), dissolved oxygen (DO) (mg/L), pH, temperature (0c),rnelectrical conductivity (EC)...
The thesis begins with a description and analysis of the traditions of thernOromo in the region by taking into account the sixteenth century Oromo movementrnand the resulting contacts of the people with other ethnic groups in the region. It alsorndiscusses the pattern of settlement of the Tuulama...
A new Cu(II) chelate formed by the derivatization of the ninhydrin with ethylenediamine (en) in thernpresence of CuCl2 .2H2O, was synthesized by template procedure in ethanolic medium. The purity ofrnthe complex was established by thin layer chromatography and sharp melting point. The complex...
This manuscript presents a master’s thesis work dealing with an integrated geophysical,rnmagnetic and electrical resistivity tomography, survey conducted as part of a systematicrninvestigation to understand the mechanisms for Lake Beseka’s level rise, its mitigationrnactions and its...
