Utilization of Micro hydro power as renewable energy source is giving great attention now arndays. This micro hydropower energy can be obtained from potential hydro sites withrnsufficient water discharge and pressure head. Depending upon the sites, water turbines arerndesigned and manufactured to...
This study aims at modeling and analyze moment and lateral load resisting capacity of rectangular reinforced concrete column with bundled bars. Four different arrangements of reinforcing bars are considered in this research: the first case was column with uniformly disturbed longitudinal bars along...
In this project, we propose a trust region dogleg method algorithms tornsolve a trust region subproblems arising form unconstrained optimization.rnThe method can deal with by constricting a dogleg paths. The case whenrnthe Hessian B of quadratic models is positive de nite. The philosophy...
Superconductivity often emerges in the proximity of, or in competition with,rnsymmetry-breaking ground states such as antiferromagnetism or charge den-rnsity waves(CDW). A number of materials in the cuprate family, which includesrnthe high transition-temperature(high-Tc) superconductors, show spin...
Solar filaments are intriguing structures suspended in the solar corona at heights uprnto 100Mm above the chromosphere, but they are made of chromospheric materialrnwhich is one hundred times cooler and denser than the coronal material, indicatingrnthat they are thermally and pressure isolated from...
The purpose of this study was to assess and evaluate the prevalence and causes of sport injures in selected Ethiopian premier league football clubs. For the implementation of the Study, a descriptive survey design was employed. The study subjects were selected from the availability samples. In this...
Mastitis is the most frequently occurring and economically one of the most important infectious disease in dairy cows. In most clinical laboratories, identification methods are based on microbiological culturing of milk and biochemical tests. However, there are many limitations associated with...
The aim of this research is to discover factors and challenges that are affecting the development of Agent Banking in Ethiopia, and develop a model that describes the factors with technology acceptance model (TAM). In addition the study tries to determine agent banking level of penetration or...
Schistosomiasis is one of the most devastating tropical diseases globally due its major cause of morbidity and mortality, and has been targeted for increased control strategies. Controlling snails through the use of molluscicides especially plant based ones is considered the best choice of...
The oilseed sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in Ethiopia, both in terms of its foreignrnexchange earnings and as source of income for millions of Ethiopians. Oilseed crops arernrecognized to be potentially suitable substrates for the production of aflatoxins by aflatoxigenicrnfungi....
White Lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is a traditional legume crop in Ethiopia that can playrncomplementary or alternative roles as sources of organic fertilizers to replenish nitrogen depletedrnsoils in farming systems as it forms symbiotic associations with soil bacteria that have atmosphericrnnitrogen...
Ecology, Carbon Stock and Formulation of Allometric Equation for Selected Tree and Shrub Species in Gerba-Dima Forest, Southwestern Ethiopia rnAbyot Dibaba Hundie, Ph.D. Dissertation rnAddis Ababa University, 2018 rnThis study was conducted in Gerba Dima Forest, South Western Ethiopia, to estimate...
The study was done in the rangelands of Ethiopian Somali region in Shinile Woreda. The study was aimed to understand the impact of enclosure at local and landscape level and patterns used by pastoral community in shaping plant diversity of rangelands with the following specific objectives: to...
Today football is more than a Game. It enables a country to develop economic social relationship, politically and an instrument to build national images. The purpose of this thesis was to study factors that hinder the effectiveness of Addis Ababa city football club, found in Addis Ababa city...
Stability of structures is a major issue that must be checked at the first stage of the design. It isrnthe ability of a structure to keep its equilibrium position after being disturbed by external actions.rnOne of the parameters used to check the stability of structures in code of practices is a...
Reinforced Concrete beams are important structural elements that transmit the loads from slabs and bridge decks, to structural column piers. The design of those beams must be safe against internal actions i.e. bending moments, shear forces and torsions so that they will perform effectively during...
Progressive collapse is known to be the cause of most catastrophic structural failures around the world. Recent acts of terrorism including the destruction of the World Trade Center demand for methods to improve behavior of structures under these abnormal events. Design of structures against...
Most recent seismic codes include response modification factors (R in US practice) orrnbehavior factors (q in European practice) in the definition of equivalent lateral force methodrnof analysis used for the design of earthquake resistant buildings. Seismic design makes usernof energy absorption...
Crushed rock sand is a term used for fine aggregate passed by 4.75mm and retained onrn150μm sieve size which are manufacture in quarry. Because of raped booming ofrnconstruction industry in Ethiopia, Natural River sand increasingly depleted and its methodrnof production was affect our planet....
To diminish the adverse effects of construction and demolition wastes, this research investigated the physical and geotechnical properties of crushed concrete aggregate through intensive laboratory tests to evaluate as using for base course of flexible pavement and also laboratory tests were...
