Advances of Science and Technology
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Advancement of Science and Technology, ICAST 2018, which took place in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, in October 2018. The 47 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 71 submissions. The papers present economic and technologic developments in modern societies in five tracks: agro-processing industries for sustainable development, water resources development for the shared vision in blue Nile basin, IT and computer technology innovation, recent advances in electrical and computer engineering, progresses in product design and system optimization.
Advances of Science and Technology
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Advancement of Science and Technology, ICAST 2019, which took place in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, in August 2019. The 76 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 150 submissions. The papers present economic and technologic developments in modern societies in five tracks: agro-processing industries for sustainable development, water resources and environmental engineering, recent advances in electrical, electronics and computing technologies, product design, manufacturing and systems organization, and material science and engineering.
Landscape Dynamics, Soils and Hydrological Processes in Varied Climates
The book presents the processes governing the dynamics of landscapes, soils and sediments, water and energy under different climatic regions using studies conducted in varied climatic zones including arid, semi-arid, humid and wet regions. The spatiotemporal availability of the processes and fluxes and their linkage to the environment, land, soil and water management are presented at various scales. Spatial scales including laboratory, field, watershed, river basin and regions are represented. The effect of tillage operations and land management on soil physical characteristics and soil moisture is discussed. The book has 35 chapters in seven sections: 1) Landscape and Land Cover Dynamics, 2) Rainfall-Runoff Processes, 3) Floods and Hydrological Processes 4) Groundwater Flow and Aquifer Management, 5) Sediment Dynamics and Soil Management, 6) Climate change impact on vegetation, sediment and water dynamics, and 7) Water and Watershed Management.
Advances of Science and Technology
This two-volume set of LNICST 411 and 412 constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Advancement of Science and Technology, ICAST 2021, which took place in August 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The 80 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 202 submissions. The papers present economic and technologic developments in modern societies in 7 tracks: Chemical, Food and Bioprocess Engineering; Electrical and Electronics Engineering; ICT, Software and Hardware Engineering; Civil, Water Resources, and Environmental Engineering ICT; Mechanical and Industrial Engineering; Material Science and Engineering; Energy Science, Engineering and Policy.
Information and Communication Technology for Development for Africa
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Information and Communication Technology for Development for Africa, ICT4DA 2019, held in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, in May 2019. The 29 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 69 submissions. The papers address the impact of ICT in fostering economic development in Africa. In detail they cover the following topics: artificial intelligence and data science; wireless and mobile computing; and Natural Language Processing.
Nile and Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam
This book is a contribution by the presenters of the 2020 International Conference on the Nile and Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). The Nile basin is facing unprecedented level of water right challenges after the construction of GERD has begun. Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan have struggled to narrow their differences on filling and operation of the GERD. The need for science and data-based discussion for a lasting solution is crucial. Historical perspectives, water rights, agreements, failed negotiations, and other topics related to the Nile is covered in this book. The book covers Nile water claims past and present, international transboundary basin cooperation and water sharing, Nile water supply and demand management, Blue Nile/Abbay and Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, land and water degradation and watershed management, emerging threats of the Lakes Region in the Nile Basin, and hydrologic variation and monitoring. This book is beneficial for students, researchers, sociologists, engineers, policy makers, lawyers, water resources and environmental managers and for the people and governments of the Nile Basin.
Famine and Foreigners: Ethiopia Since Live Aid
The terrible 1984 famine in Ethiopia focused the world's attention on the country and the issue of aid as never before. Anyone over the age of 30 remembers something of the events - if not the original TV pictures, then Band Aid and Live Aid, Geldof and Bono. Peter Gill was the first journalist to reach the epicentre of the famine and one of the TV reporters who brought the tragedy to light. This book is the story of what happened to Ethiopia in the 25 years following Live Aid: the place, the people, the westerners who have tried to help, and the wider multinational aid business that has come into being. We saved countless lives in the beginning and continued to save them now, but have we done much else to transform the lives of Ethiopia's poor and set them on a 'development' course that will enable the country to do without us?
Groundwater in Ethiopia
This book provides a comprehensive description of groundwater resources in Ethiopia and its various dimensions (groundwater as resource, environmental functions, and socioeconomics). The prevailing knowledge of groundwater resources in Ethiopia (or elsewhere in Sub Saharan Africa) was based on geological and stratigraphic framework known nearly four decades ago (mainly 1960's and 70's). Thanks to the substantial geoscientific research since the 70's a new set of relevant geological/stratigrahpic data has been created that helps to re-define our understanding of groundwater resources in Africa as a whole and in Ethiopia in particular: a) For the first time the basement aquifer of Ethiopia has...
Girimte SciTech (the Wonder of SciTech)
Girimte ScieTech (The Wonder of SciTech) is a the-first-of-its-kind Amharic publication to cover the topics of science and technology in one book. The 392 page book tells the story of the amazing human civilization starting from the industrial revolution. The book consists 23 chapters in 4 sections--four chapters on how civilization began, eight chapters on where we are today, eight chapters about the future, and three chapters on ancient black civilization, why we are behind today and the solution to leapfrog. The book covers science and technology from a different perspective--through past history, major events, the present, and the future in a very engaging writing style. It will also include black people's contribution in innovation. Furthermore, it book argues why Africa is far behind in technology, and advocates that adopting technology is the necessary means to leapfrog the lag and catch up with the rest of the world. The book will also relate many science and tech innovations with their adoption in Ethiopia through an interesting lens of history.
