    The main objective of this research was to make assessment on the level of mental distress, coping mechanisms measurement scale and resilience building level of children of streets at selected sub cites in Addis Ababa. The living environments of children of the street were very harsh and slummy. They were unable to meeting their basic necessities such as food, cloth and secure sleeping places, and also lacked access to services such as health; education, recreation and also highly affected by diseases, depression and other psychological effects. The data pertinent to the study was gathered through a standardized questionnaire in four areas i.e. basic background information, mental distress level, coping mechanisms and resilience building level. The data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistical principles. In the research, the number of children of street are increased to flow the capital city mainly due to poverty, peer pressure and conflict with parents. This particular study was addressed 128 (111 males and 17 females) children of street children who live in Addis Ketema, Arada, Lideta and Kirkos sub- cities in Addis Ababa.

On resilience building issues, the finding was revealed that the children of streets those have secondary education level are better in the resilience building rather than primary school and non-education respectively.

    Electrical Conductivity and Drift Mobility in Heavily Doped n-type Silicon with MIXED SCATTERING
    (Addis Ababa University, 2003-06) Gizaw, Girma
    In this thesis I have calculated the electrical conductivity and drift mobility in heavily doped n-type silicon in the presence of band tail effects considering mixed scattering of ionized impurities and acoustic phonons. The results of the calculation show that the electrical conductivity can be as much as 58% lower than the value obtained by using parabolic density of states and the drift mobility in heavily doped n-type silicon on the other hand is 40% lower than the value calculated using parabolic density of states

As the results of the study revealed, NGOs role was significant and indicated their roles in universal primary education at the Adea Berga Woreda primary schools. Among the roles NGOs played at the Woreda were: schools construction and furnishing with the necessary equipment’s ,train teachers and students, supported disadvantaged children, constructing latrine and clean water development for schools, support budget for teachers training and girls health training, trained community to promote girls education in particular and primary education in general, and trained Woreda education officials, supervisors ,director on teaching learning process and the school management. Based on the result of the study it was recommended that due to the significant role NGOs played government should create partnership for further interventions of the NGOs in the primary school to realize universal primary education
