Background: Pain in children is often overlooked mainly due to their inability to communicaternrightly their feelings to the caregivers. Postoperative pain is one of the pains which children sufferrndue to various reasons but not limited to poor health practices or lack of knowledge on...
This study was aimed to determine the ethanol potential of prosopis juliflora pod byrnfermentation using saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. The milled p.juliflora pod wasrnhydrolysed by distilled water and by dilute sulfuric acid (0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 M) atrntemperature of 90°C for 15 and 30 minutes....
This thesis shows research performed on the topic of text-independent speaker verification using support vector machine (SVM) based Gaussian mixture model (GMM) supervector classifier in the presence of environmental noise conditions. The basis is to use model based approaches to make the...
Background: Patient satisfaction is the degree of congruence between a patient’s expectationsrnof ideal nursing care and perception of the real nursing care receives. Satisfied patients are morernlikely to comply with treatment, take an active role in their own care, continue using health...
The main objective of the study was to explore students reading attitude, reading instruction andrnreading performances. A descriptive research design which consisted of first collectingrnquantitative data and then collecting qualitative was used to investigate the attitude of learnersrntowards...
The current state of solid waste management was investigated in the case of Nifas-Silk Laftornsub city in the city of Addis Ababa. The waste generation and composition profile thatrndetermines the appropriateness of different waste management options was created after a 20rndays solid waste...
To assess the level of intestinal parasite and malaria infection, a total of 806 consenting individuals were randomly selected from Tach Gayint District. The prevalence of malaria, intestinal protozoa and helminth infections and co-infections in the area were determined. The study was conducted in...
Background - Health care seeking behavior has been defined as any action undertaken byrnindividuals who perceive themselves to have a health problem or to be ill for the purpose ofrnfinding an appropriate remedy when they have a health problem or illness. In most developingrnKey Words= Health...
The electrical energy demand growth in Ethiopia has been enormous in the past few years asrna result of economic development. This sharp increase in demand is expected to continue inrnthe years to come. Therefore, in the face of increasing demand for electric energy in allrnsectors and the limited...
Forests can capture and retain enormous amount of carbon over long periods of time.rnThis study was conducted to estimate carbon stock in dry Afromontane forest type ofrnDanaba community forest (CF) of Oromia Region, Ethiopia to explore the potential ofrnclimate change mitigation from carbon stock...
This thesis presents the multiphoton electron-positron pair production through nonlinearrnchannels by superintense oppositely directed laser pulses of the same frequencies in vacuum.rnOn the basis of the Dirac model the resonance approximation for vacuum inducedrntransitions is developed. The...
This particular thesis paper is based on the newly advanced cellular technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE). It is intended to give a good understanding of Radio Network planning of LTE and perform a case study in Addis Ababa as to improve the existing network deployment.rnThe LTE Radio...
Background: Maternal mortality and morbidity are attributed to poor maternity quality of care.rnGlobally, more than half a million women die annually as a result of complications of pregnancyrnand childbirth.So, at a time when global efforts to reduce maternal mortality have been steppedrnup, it is...
The vegetation of the afroalpine and subafroalpine regions of Bale Mountains at Sanettiernwere studied to describe major plant groups and relationships between vegetation andrnedaphic, climatic and topographic factors. Vegetation composition was studied along anrnaltitudinal gradient extending from...
Occupational diseases are hard to track for many reasons and usually were underreported. It is because they do not have unique pathologies and their long latency period. The automotive refinishing industry is a common setting of occupational exposure to isocyanates.rnThe goal of this study was to...
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an emerging multi-carrierrnmodulation scheme, which has been adopted for several wireless standards such as IEEErn802.11a and HiperLAN2. OFDM as a transmission technique has been known to have a lot ofrnstrengths compared to any other...
Ethiopia’s economy has been one of the fastest growing economy in the world with two digit figures in the last decade. Consequently, the rate of electric consumption has also been increasing very fast. A large number of new consumers has been recently connected to the grid or waiting to be...
Visible photoluminescence from nano-silicon is one of the most attractive and debatablernissue in recent years. Studying photoluminescence and understanding itsrnmechanism has tremendous attention due to optoelectronic applications. When thernsize of quantum dots decreases the surface area to...
With increasing demands for higher data rate and better services, more efficient modulation techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are being adopted by many broadband wireless standards. However, the implementation of OFDM-based systems suffers from impairments such as...
Ecological investigation was conducted on the afroalpine vegetation of the Guna Massif,rnSouth Gondar, Ethiopia, to characterize vegetation communities and type and extent ofrnutilization of the area by the farming societies at lower slopesrnThe vegetation of the afroalpine area of Guna Mountain...
