The rapid growth of the global population and industrial activities pose a great challenge to meeting ever-increasing energy demands. This thesis adapts a modified synthesis of graphene oxide (GO), an important starting material in graphene chemistry, convert graphene oxide back to graphene-like...
Organic bulk heterojunction solar cell devices based on blend of poly(3-rnhexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6, 6] phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) withrndifferent concentration of propylthiouracil (PTU) additive have been fabricated andrncharacterized in an open air. The current...
Five natural dyes, extracted from natural materials such as flowers, were used asrnsensitizers to fabricate dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Dye-sensitized solar cellsrn(DSSCs) were fabricated using natural dyes extracted from flowers Amaranthusrncaudatus, Bougainvillea spectabilis, Delonix...
The study was conducted to work out the relation and conservation strategy of thc endcmicrnKlliphofia species by comparing their distribution, demography, reproductive biology, andrngenetic diversity. The KllipllOfia species studied include KlliphoJia foliosa, K. hildebralldtii,rnK. illsignis, K....
This paper gives a review for optimal control problems with state inequalityrnconstraints. To solve the problem with pure state inequality constraint,rnwe use di_erent approaches with complementary slackness(_rst order constraints),rnthe indirect adjoining approach for higher order constraints...
The major objectives of this study were to investigate practices of active learning, to assessrnthe implementation of Active learning approach and to identify factors affect thernimplementation of active the active learning approach in teaching Algebra in secondaryrnschools of East Wollega zone,...
Diarrhoeal diseases are still the major cause of morbidity and mortality among children inrnmany developing countries, including Ethiopia. There is a general agreement that the cause ofrnchild mortality and morbidity in developing countries is multi-factorial. Interaction of...
Model predictive control is a form of control in which the current control action is obtainedrnby solving on-line, at each sampling instant, a _nite horizon optimal control problem, usingrnthe current state of the plant as the initial state; the optimization yields an optimal controlrnsequence and...

As the name suggests,a near-ring is a generalized ring more precisely the commutativityrnof addition is not required and just one of the distributive laws is postulated.Manyrnparts of the well established theory of rings were transferred to near-rings and nowrnnear-ring speci_c features were...
An ecological study dealing with species composition, distribution, relative abundancernpopulation density, biomass and habitat association of rodents was carried out in Pawernarea around Almu in Ethiopia during August, 2008 − March, 2009 in natural forest,rnplantation, bushland, grassland...
The maximum Modulus Theorem expressing one of the basic properties of the modulus of analytic function. The purpose of this paper is to present some variants of the maximum modulus theorem and present the application of maximum modulus theorem. The convex functions form a special class of function,...
Soilâ€transmitted helminth (STH) infections are the major public health problems in many developingrncountries including Ethiopia. STHs are one of the major factors that cause malnutrition and anemia. Thisrnstudy was aimed to investigate the associations of intestinal STHs with malnutrition...
The complete set of this project is about feed – forward networks. The realization of Boolean function for linearly separable problem by a single perceptron is possible. The problem is that how the non-linearly separable problems can be realized by a perceptron. This project intended to...
In many countries, there is increasing need for efficient and effective delivery of landrnadministration services, especially in land registration and compensation (Money paid to thernaffected land occupants) services to protect the tenure security. As a land administration isrnimportant sector of...
Recent phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies of some afro-alpine plants suggested repeated long-distance migrations of plants into Africa mainly from Eurasia. Such repeated migrations may have played an important role in the plant species composition of the isolated afro-alpine 'sky island'...
In this project we consider the structure of semi groups of self mapping of a semirngroup S under pointwise composition, generated by the endomorphisms of S. It isrnshown that,ifS is Clifford semi groups with underlying semilattice ∧, thernendomorphisms of S generate a Clifford semigroup E+...
The larvicidal activity of solvent extracts of Annona squamosa, Tagetes minuta and essential oils of bothrnplants were evaluated against laboratory colonies and field collected larvae of Anopheles. Shade dried andrngrounded seed from A. squamosa and floral part of T. minuta were sequentially...
The purpose of this study was to investigale the major challenges of secondaty edllcation planrnimplementation in Oromia National Regional State.
