In this research, Long Term Evolution Radio Access Network Dimensioning by ParticlernSwarm Optimization (PSO) in the case of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia has been introduced. rnCurrently, mobile network service provision demand is increasing, especially customers’rndata demand increases time to...
Wireless channels exhibit multipath and time dispersion that lead to attenuation rnand inter-symbol interference (ISI). In order to compensate the effect of ISI caused byrnchannels, equalization techniques are introduced on receiver ends. The increasingrndemand for high-speed data transmission over...

According to the new Ethiopian building code ES EN 1998-1:2015, there is an adjustmentrnin peak ground acceleration of Addis Ababa. The peak ground acceleration is updated torn0.1g which, were 0.05g in previsions EBCS8-1995. The variation will significantly affectrnthe seismic performance of...
This research work is dedicated to experimental investigation on interface shear and tensilernstrength between old and new concrete. Twenty Push-off specimens were cast on thernexperimental program of the shear test. Nine specimens were monolithically cast andrneleven specimens were cast with an...
Reinforced concrete beams subjected to moving cyclic loads has a reduced fatiguernlife as compared to that of fixed-point pulsating loading. Moving loads has morerndamaging effect to the concrete, this might cause brittle shear failure. rnrnIn this study experimental and analytical investigation...
The behavior and design of reinforced concrete members subjected to shear remain an area ofrnmuch concern and investigation. This is particularly due to the less knowledge on shearrnresistance mechanism of RC structures in one extent and also shear is affected by a number ofrnfactors which are not...
As many developing countries, Ethiopia has a lot of challenge. Along with the Ethiopianrngrowth in the house construction of buildings come the predictable adverse onrnenvironmental, economic, and social effects. These effects are ongoing all over the liferncycle of the house structure. A problem...

Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains key global public health concern in terms of morbidity, mortality and cost for care. The study aimed at assessing prevalence and treatment outcomes of tuberculosis in the past five years. A retrospective study was conducted by...
Cutaneous leishmaniasis is the most common form of leishmaniasis, but it is a neglected tropical disease that mainly affects the poorest populations of the world since they live in poorly constructed houses, migration to endemic areas of cutaneous leishmaniasis infection because of famine, have...
Influenza is a contagious respiratory disease of birds and mammals including humans caused by influenza viruses A, B, C and D. Influenza A virus (IAV) subtypes possesses the greatest zoonotic potential. Continuous circulation of Influenza A virus in different animal species may cause influenza...
Malaria is a disease caused by Plasmodium spp. The infections occur mainly in tropical countries with about 90% of these occurring in sub-Saharan Africa. In Ethiopia, approximately 4-5 million cases of malaria are reported annually and it is prevalent in 75% of the country, putting over 50 million...
Malaria is one of the most devastating diseases in the world. However, malaria incidence is reduced by 37% globally and by 42% in Africa between 2000 and 2015. Malaria is one of the most important diseases in the world and caused by a protozoan parasite of genus Plasmodium. It mostly affects...
Background: Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is caused by the human immune deficiency virus (HIV). HIV weakens the immune system, making the body susceptible to secondary and opportunistic infections. Without treatment, HIV infection leads to AIDS and death. The predominant mode of HIV...
