Estimation of Burger Model Parameters by Inverse Analysis of Oedometer Data
Abstract: Contrary to the forward analysis, inverse analysis can be effectively utilized to determine the parameters of a constitutive model commonly used to represent the stress-strain-time behavior or the load-deformation-time behavior of the soil. This paper reports the development of a generalized inverse analysis formulation for the parameter estimation of four-parameter Burger model. The analysis is carried out by formulating the problem as that of mathematical programming in terms of identification …

Magnitude of Perceived Stigma and Factors Associated with Care Givers of Schizophrenic Patients: The Case of Amanuel Mental Specialized Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Abstract: Stigma is a social process, experienced and characterized by exclusion, rejection, blaming or devaluation of a person or a group. Schizophrenia, especially because of its distinctive symptoms like common disruptive behavior and perceived dangerousness, exposes patients to stigma and discrimination. If families do not seek help because of stigma, young people will be at risk of longer durations of untreated illness. To assess magnitude and factors associated with perceived stigma …

Parametric Effect on the Mechanical Property of Extrusion-Based 3D-Printed Parts
Abstract: Material extrusion-based 3D printing, a prevalent and economical approach for producing complex geometries, heavily relies on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene due to its advantageous mechanical properties and dimensional stability. Nevertheless, the mechanical integrity of 3D-printed components is considerably impacted by process variables. This research investigates the implications of critical parameters – layer height (LH), infill percentage (IP), and infill pattern design (IPD) – on the tensile, compressive, and flexural strength of …

LQR-Based Optimal Control of Inverted Pendulum System with State Estimation and Stability Analysis
Abstract: The inverted pendulum on a cart is a canonical benchmark problem in control systems engineering, capturing the essential challenges of stabilizing an inherently unstable, underactuated, and nonlinear plant. Classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers, while widely employed in industrial practice, exhibit fundamental performance limitations when applied to such systems, primarily due to their inability to account for multivariable coupling, process noise, and the absence of a systematic optimization framework. This paper presents …

Emergency Contraceptive Use among Female Students of Aksum University, Aksum, Northern Ethiopia
Abstract: Unintended pregnancy is a public health problem among young women in developing countries like Ethiopia. Emergency contraceptives (ECs) can be used as a backup in case regular contraception is not used, misused or failed. However, little is documented about sexual experiences and EC use in highly religious areas like Aksum where sexual rights may not be exercised freely. Therefore, this study was aimed at assessing sexual experiences and EC use …

Signal Drift Compensation in Polymer-Based Wearable Biosensors Using Data Processing Techniques
Abstract: Polymer-based wearable biosensors have emerged as promising platforms for continuous physiological monitoring due to their mechanical flexibility, low operating voltage, and compatibility with soft biological interfaces. However, their long-term deployment remains challenging because of signal drift caused by polymer ageing, hydration–dehydration cycles, ionic trapping, and environmental variations. These effects introduce baseline fluctuations and sensitivity degradation, which compromise the reliability and interpretability of physiological measurements. This study proposes a data-processing–driven framework …
