This thesis is based on the experimental investigation of the junction between reactive lowrnwork function metal, Aluminum and Conjugated polymer, MDMO-PPV. The polymer isrnblended with C60 and the composition were also made with pure polymer. The techniquesrnemployed are absorption spectroscopy,...
The aim of this study was to find out the correlation among sources of self-efficacy, selfefficacyrnand performance in reading and writing skills of Bahir Dar University studentsrn(N=106). In addition, the degree to which the reading and writing efficacy beliefs andrnperformance differ as a...
Low dimensional nanosystems are known to have properties that can be markedly different fromrntheir bulk counterparts. For semiconductor crystals such as silicon when the carriers (excitons)rnare confined in dimensions less than their de Broglie wavelength (typically a few nanometers)rnquantum...
This research is aimed at exploring the practices of continuous assessmet (CA) by Englishrnlanguage teachers in Jimma Teachers college.rnIt explores if the EFL instructors use CA to assess their students' English language performance.rnThe study also explores how the instructors generally assess...

Background: Malaria is a preventable and treatable mosquito-borne disease. Approximately 52 million people (68%) live in malaria risk areas in Ethiopia. Dembecha woreda annual report shows that malaria is responsible for 13,852 morbidities (10% of the community) (2012/13 EFY). Observation and...
The observation of visible luminescence with finite quantum efficiency at room temperaturernfrom nanoporous silicon (nP-Si) prompted renewed hope for the possiblernintegration of Silicon (Si) based light emitting devices. Since then, nP-Si quantumrnwires research has attracted considerable...
Background Pornography is usually defined as any materials that are intended to produce or has the effect of producing sexual arousal. Several research findings argue that exposure to pornography promotes early engagement in sexual activities. There is no recent similar study conducted in Ethiopia...
