description: Bat algorithm is a population metaheuristic proposed in 2010 which is based on the echolocation or bio-sonar characteristics of microbats. Since its first implementation, the bat algorithm has been used in a wide range of fields. In this paper, we present a discrete version of the bat algorithm to solve the well-known symmetric and asymmetric traveling salesman problems. In addition, we propose an improvement in the basic structure of the classic bat algorithm. To prove that our proposal is a promising approximation method, we have compared its performance in 37 instances with the results obtained by five different techniques: evolutionary simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, an island based distributed genetic algorithm, a discrete firefly algorithm and an imperialist competitive algorithm. In order to obtain fair and rigorous comparisons, we have conducted three different statistical tests along the paper: the Student's $t$-test, the Holm's test, and the Friedman test. We have also compared the convergence behaviour shown by our proposal with the ones shown by the evolutionary simulated annealing, and the discrete firefly algorithm. The experimentation carried out in this study has shown that the presented improved bat algorithm outperforms significantly all the other alternatives in most of the cases.

description: The SCHMID multi-busbar technique is a new interconnection concept. The most striking advantages
compared to 3-busbar-concepts are: Reduced silver paste consumption, reduced series resistance losses, reduced
shading, improved light recycling. This leads to a gain in module efficiency and to a cost reduction at the same time.
The main purpose of this work is to evaluate module reliability and degradation mechanisms with a focus on the
novel interconnection technique. We will show thermal-cycle- and pressure-cooker-test results for multi-busbar
modules and small samples, as well as effects of connector breakage.

description: We present a novel cavity opto-magno-mechanical hybrid system to generate entanglements among multiple quantum carriers, such as magnons, mechanical resonators, and cavity photons in both the optical and microwave domains. Two Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) spheres are embedded in two separate microwave cavities which are joined by a communal mechanical resonator. Because the microwave cavities are separate, the ferromagnetic resonate frequencies of two YIG spheres can be tuned independently, as well as the cavity frequencies. We show that entanglement can be achieved with experimentally reachable parameters. The entanglement is robust against environmental thermal noise, owing to the mechanical cooling process achieved by the optical cavity. The maximum entanglement among different carriers is achieved by optimizing the parameters of the system. The individual tunability of the separated cavities allows us to independently control the entanglement properties of different subsystems and establish quantum channels with different entanglement properties in one system. This work could provide promising applications in quantum metrology and quantum information tasks.

description: We develop a general model of coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) impedance with shielding provided by two parallel conducting plates. This model allows us to easily reproduce all previously known analytical CSR wakes and to expand the analysis to the situations not explored before. It reduces calculations of the impedance to taking integrals along the trajectory of the beam. New analytical results are derived for the radiation impedance with shielding for the following orbits: a kink, a bending magnet, a wiggler of finite length, and an infinitely long wiggler. All our formulas are benchmarked agains numerical simulations with the CSRZ computer code.

description: We present for the first time Very-Long-Baseline Interferometry images of the radio galaxy Cygnus A at the frequency of $86$ $\rm GHz$. Thanks to the high spatial resolution of only ${\sim}200$ Schwarzschild radii ($R_{\bf S}$), such observations provide an extremely detailed view of the nuclear regions in this archetypal object and allow us to derive important constraints for theoretical models describing the launching of relativistic jets. A pixel-based analysis of the jet outflow, which still appears two-sided on the scales probed, was performed. By fitting Gaussian functions to the transverse intensity profiles, we could determine the jet width in the nuclear region. The base of the jets appears wide. The minimum measured transverse width of ${\sim} (227\pm98)$ $R_{\bf S}$ is significantly larger than the radius of the Innermost Stable Circular Orbit, suggesting that the outer accretion disk is contributing to the jet launching. The existence of a faster and Doppler de-boosted inner section, powered either from the rotation of the inner regions of the accretion disk or by the spinning black hole, is suggested by the kinematic properties and by the observed limb brightening of the flow.

Inelastic electron-phonon scattering and excess current in superconducting point contacts with a short coherence length

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Nonlinear electrical effects in superconducting S-c-S contacts, including the spectroscopy of electron-phonon interactions (EPI) in these systems, and the recovery of the EPI function from experimental data are discussed. The effect of a magnetic field on the current-voltage characteristics(I-V curves) and their derivatives for ErNi_2B_2C point contacts (PC) with $d\ge ξ$ (where $d$ is the diameter of the PC and $ξ$ is the coherence length) is studied. It is found that in zero magnetic fields and in near-critical fields, when the size of the superconducting gap can be neglected, the position of the peaks in $dV/dI$ coincides with the peaks in the Yanson EPI spectra. In low fields the peaks are shifted toward lower energies and in intermediate fields, the peaks split. For PC with diameters greater than or on the order of the coherence length, the relative size of the negative phonon contribution to the excess current is considerably greater than in ballistic contacts. This leads to substantial suppression of the high-frequency peaks in the spectra for the superconducting state. In order to recover the EPI function from these spectra it is necessary to correct their intensities at high energies. For "dirty" NbSe_2 and Nb point-contacts with $d\ge ξ$, which have no phonon features in the second derivative of the I-V curve in the normal state, the EPI can be reconstructed from the superconducting state.

description: PID (Potential Induced Degradation) is one of the severest degradation mechanisms the photovoltaic industry of crystalline and multicrystalline modules faces today. It depends mainly on the travelling of Na+ ions, mainly concentrating in stacking faults causing electrical shunts. These shunts can be observed very precisely and give a view of the travelling and concentration of the ions over time of stress. In this paper the shunt development of different encapsulants during accelerated PID tests is investigated, and how it depends on the thickness of the encapsulant. The leakage current and the power loss are correlated with the electrical permittivity of the encapsulants.

(ARC) layer, which was related to the fabricated process and deposited method. In this paper, we revealed the
influence of different ARC with different fabricated parameters. We also demonstrated the sample performance with
different encapsulated materials for PID issue. The test samples have been laminated as four-cell mini-solar modules
with, and the degradation of mini-solar modules have been observed resulting from PID effects. Decrease of power is
also induced due to deterioration of solar cell parameters such as series resistance Rs, saturation current Is, etc. After
85 °C, 85 % RH, there is also evidence of series resistance increase in some dark areas of the EL images.

The demonstrators are a cornerstone of these activities as they on one hand provide the requirements from an industrial perspective, on the other hand demonstrate the impact of the provided solutions.
 The project began in 2020 with an initial set of 11 demonstrators and the first stage of the work has been completed with them. In the last quarter of 2021, we launched a campaign to acquire additional demonstrators to improve the variety of our industrial stakeholders in order to increase the quality of requirement collection and the impact of the results. This deliverable summarizes the results of the new demonstrator acquisition, which resulted in 11 new demonstrators. The demonstrators are described briefly with their key information extracted from the surveys and interview conducted with them. We also give an overall analysis of the demonstrator acquisition process, which shows the we fulfilled the criteria regarding the characteristics of the new demonstrators set by the project goals and expected impacts.

description: We present measurements of rotations of the optical polarization of blazars during the second year of operation of RoboPol, a monitoring programme of an unbiased sample of gamma-ray bright blazars specially designed for effective detection of such events, and we analyse the large set of rotation events discovered in two years of observation. We investigate patterns of variability in the polarization parameters and total flux density during the rotation events and compare them to the behaviour in a non-rotating state. We have searched for possible correlations between average parameters of the polarization-plane rotations and average parameters of polarization, with the following results: (1) there is no statistical association of the rotations with contemporaneous optical flares; (2) the average fractional polarization during the rotations tends to be lower than that in a non-rotating state; (3) the average fractional polarization during rotations is correlated with the rotation rate of the polarization plane in the jet rest frame; (4) it is likely that distributions of amplitudes and durations of the rotations have physical upper bounds, so arbitrarily long rotations are not realised in nature.

visualize cell defects and to evaluate these defects quantitatively.
In comparison with the evaluation of hail events in the field, a quantitative analysis of hail impact dependent of mass and
velocity of the ice balls has been started. We found that the location of the hail impact on the module is a key parameter due
to different stresses and strains of the glass after the hail impact. Hail tests according to IEC 61215 (Clause 10.17) [1] and
VKF (Swiss hail protection register) [2] were compared.

description: Since a few breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of the effects of swift heavy ions (SHI) decelerating in the electronic stopping regime in the matter have been achieved in the last decade, it motivated us to review the state-of-the-art approaches in the modeling of SHI effects. The SHI track kinetics occurs via several well-separated stages: from attoseconds in ion-impact ionization depositing energy in a target, to femtoseconds of electron transport and hole cascades, to picoseconds of lattice excitation and response, to nanoseconds of atomic relaxation, and even longer macroscopic reaction. Each stage requires its own approaches for quantitative description. We discuss that understanding the links between the stages makes it possible to describe the entire track kinetics within a multiscale model without fitting procedures. The review focuses on the underlying physical mechanisms of each process, the dominant effects they produce, and the limitations of the existing approaches as well as various numerical techniques implementing these models. It provides an overview of ab-initio-based modeling of the evolution of the electronic properties; Monte Carlo simulations of nonequilibrium electronic transport; molecular dynamics modeling of atomic reaction on the surface and in the bulk; kinetic Mote Carlo of atomic defect kinetics; finite-difference methods of tracks interaction with chemical solvents describing etching kinetics. We outline the modern methods that couple these approaches into multiscale multidisciplinary models and point to their bottlenecks, strengths, and weaknesses. The analysis is accompanied by examples of important results improving the understanding of track formation in various materials. Summarizing the most recent advances in the field of the track formation process, the review delivers a comprehensive picture and detailed understanding of the phenomena.

description: The European PV Geographical Information System (PVGIS) uses a performance model based on the relative efficiency with respect to Standard Testing Conditions (STC). The efficiency’s dependence on irradiance and operating temperature is modelled with a bi-quadratic polynomial with respect to the relative temperature and the logarithm of relative irradiance. The present paper gives relations between all the model coefficients k1 through k6 and the I-V curve model parameters such as the series resistance RS and the ideality factor n. There is a good agreement between the theoretical and fitted values of the coefficients for different c-Si PV module types. The results are limited to devices behaving well according to the one-exponential I-V curve model, with negligible current leaks via shunts in the cells. The effects of shunting and other I-V curve non-idealities on performance are discussed. The equations may allow implementation of c-Si technology differentiation in future versions of PVGIS.

description: A highly anisotropic superconducting gap is found in single crystals of FeSe by studying the London penetration depth, $Δλ$, measured down to 50 mK in samples before and after 2.5 MeV electron irradiation. The gap minimum increases with introduced point - like disorder, indicating the absence of symmetry - imposed nodes. Surprisingly, the superconducting transition temperature, $T_c$, \textit{increases} by 0.4 K from $T_{c0} \approx$ 8.8 K while the structural transition temperature, $T_s$, \textit{decreases} by 0.9 K from $T_{s0} \approx$91.2 K after electron irradiation. We discuss several explanations for the $T_c$ enhancement, and propose that local strengthening of the pair interaction by irradiation-induced Frenkel defects most likely explains the phenomenon.

description: In order to reduce module manufacturing costs it is important to increase the module efficiency. Meanwhile module power beyond 300 Wp with 60 cells is the target of the industry. By increasing the cell efficiency and the usage of new cell stringing techniques the module performance can be increased significantly without big changes in production. Up to 3% module performance gain is possible by only slightly changing of the module production line. Therefore, module manufacturer are taking steps to introduce e.g. reflective interconnectors to interconnect cells into modules. However, it is also a fact that the reflective interconnector is optimized for standard test conditions (STC). From the module customer's perspective, it is legitimate to ask whether the benefit of performance at STC can also be observed at the energy yield. We can prove in outdoor energy yield evaluation with comparable modules including reflective and standard interconnectors that the specific energy yield of the modules with reflective interconnector is slightly less than reference modules, both at fix-tilted with south orientation. However, the absolute energy production is significantly higher. With other words, a STC module performance increase of about 3% provides about 2% more yield in the field. The reason is, the slope angle of incidence of light during the late afternoon and in the morning. Nevertheless, since the most energy yield of a PV system is generated around noon, the reflective interconnector is still beneficial if the absolute energy yield is compared. With a little effort in a module production line, 2% more energy yield is very attractive in perspective of the entire value chain. Furthermore, non-anti-reflective coated glass was tested in combination with reflective interconnectors. We think the performance and yield benefits outperform the additional costs for the reflective interconnector by far. However, STC optimized modules must be always taken into account during planning and designing of PV systems in field.

description: Based on luminosity contributions, we develop a spectroscopic modelling method to derive atmospheric parameters of component stars in binary systems. The method is designed for those spectra of binaries which show double-lined features due to the radial velocities differences between the component stars. We first derive the orbital parameters and the stellar radii by solving the light and radial velocity curves. Then the luminosity contributions in different phases can be calculated. The synthesised double-lined spectra model is constructed by superposing theoretical single-star spectra according to the luminosity contributions. Finally, we derive the atmospheric parameters of each component star by the model fitting method. For multi-epoch double-lined spectra observed by the Large sky Area Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) Medium Resolution Survey ($R \sim 7500$), our method gives robust results for detached eclipsing binary systems observed in different orbital phases. Furthermore, this method can also be applied to other spectroscopic data with different resolutions as long as the systems are detached eclipsing binaries with nearly spherical stars.

description: The electrical performance of a photovoltaic module is one of its key characteristics. It is influenced by
a number of factors, for example the electrical performance of the individual cells, the connection layout of the cells,
or shadowing of parts of the module. In order to quantitatively estimate the influence of these individual factors, a
highly flexible equivalent circuit model for PV-modules has been setup. As an application of this model we present
results on the module performance when the electrical parameters of the included cells, such as their short circuit
current, their shunt resistances, or the loss currents show a certain spread. This investigation allows defining
quantitative sorting criteria which all cells entering a specific module have to meet.

description: Recently, it was established that a two-dimensional electron system can arise at the interface between two oxide insulators LaAlO3 and SrTiO3. This paradigmatic example exhibits metallic behaviour and magnetic properties between non-magnetic and insulating oxides. Despite a huge amount of theoretical and experimental work a thorough understanding has yet to be achieved. We analyzed the structural deformations of a LaAlO3 (001) slab induced by hydrogen ad-atoms and oxygen vacancies at its surface by means of density functional theory. Moreover, we investigated the influence of surface reconstruction on the density of states and determined the change of the local density of states at the Fermi level with increasing distance from the surface for bare LaAlO3 and for a conducting LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface. In addition, the Al-atom displacements and distortions of the TiO6-octahedra were estimated.

description: In top-bottom seesaw and topflavor model, there may exist extra Higgses and vectorlike fermions, and we have examined the W mass anomaly reported by CDF II in these frames. We found that the CDF II W-boson mass data constrains the parameter r_t and z_t strictly in the two models, respectively, while the constraints on other parameters such as m_H, m_χare quite weak. Therefore, we conclude that in the two models, the W mass increment is sensitive to the extra fermions, but not the extra scalars. In topflavor model, we also consider the W mass increment induced by the mass mixing of the light and the heavy gauge bosons and the contribution is not too large and the constraints on the parameters x and y are weak.

description: We present multiwavelength photometric catalogues (HST, Spitzer and Hawk-I K band) for the first two of the Frontier Fields, Abell2744 and MACSJ0416 (plus their parallel fields). To detect faint sources even in the central regions of the clusters, we develop a robust and repeatable procedure that uses the public codes Galapagos and Galfit to model and remove most of the light contribution from both the brightest cluster members as well as the ICL. We perform the detection on the HST H160 processed image to obtain a pure H-selected sample. We also add a sample of sources which are undetected in the H160 image but appear on a stacked infrared image. Photometry in the other HST bands is obtained using SExtractor, performed again on residual images after the Galfit procedure for foreground light removal. Photometry on the Hawk-I and IRAC bands has been obtained using our PSF-matching deconfusion code T-PHOT. A similar procedure, but without the need for the foreground light removal, is adopted for the Parallel fields. The procedure allows for the detection and the photometric measurements of ~2500 sources per field. We deliver and release complete photometric H-detected catalogues, with the addition of a complementary sample of infrared-detected sources. All objects have multiwavelength coverage including B to H HST bands, plus K band from Hawk-I, and 3.6 - 4.5 μm from Spitzer. Full and detailed treatment of photometric errors is included. We perform basic sanity checks on the reliability of our results. The multiwavelength catalogues are publicly available and are ready to be used for scientific purposes. Our procedures allows for the detection of outshined objects near the bright galaxies, which, coupled with the magnification effect of the clusters, can reveal extremely faint high redshift sources. Full analysis on photometric redshifts is presented in a companion Paper II. [abridged]

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3244-3247
description: Different methods to characterize the Incidence Angle Modifier (IAM) of PV modules have been
presented in the past [1-4]. From the authors perspective it is questionable if the detailed characterisation of the angular
behaviour of PV modules has any significant benefits to yield modelling activities undertaken to forecast the power
energy yield of a PV system. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the influence of IAM data from different
measurement techniques as input on a yearly yield model. Several sample modules with different top cover such as
standard Low iron glass, anti-reflection (AR) coated glass or structured ETFE foils have been characterized on three
different test setups, two outdoor and one in the sun simulator. The measured IAM values are fitted to a double
exponential model and used in a simple yield model to evaluate the influence of the different measuring methods to the
yearly yield for modules with different orientations and different geographical locations. The results show that the
different module covers have a significant impact on the IAM, however on yearly yield basis the cosine loss at high angle
of incidence (AOI) dominates, reducing the impact of IAM differences. Secondly we show that the AIM characterization
is subject of statistical measurement errors caused by the test setup or the module itself. To increase comparability of
IAM data we recommend determining a uniform measurement method with precise definition of the test setup.
Incorporating Critical Data Literacy into Data Visualization Pedagogy
Creators: name: Sivajothy, Subhanya
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: From understanding climate change to COVID-19, data visualizations and infographics are an important tool for making sense of complex issues and data. Visualizations are ubiquitous as we encounter them in news sources, social media, scientific papers and more; however, they are often treated as a neutral, and objective source of information. In this workshop we will look at methods of teaching data visualization skills that encourage participants to both read and create visualizations in a critical manner. The first part of the workshop will cover foundational concepts in visualization in design principles, as well as provide a critical understanding of the history of data visualizations and how they’ve been mobilized in both beneficial and harmful ways. This section will also provide an overview on how to incorporate principles of data justice, data ethics and accessibility into your pedagogical practice during each building block of teaching the data visualization process. The second half of this section will bring into focus, the larger data justice concepts from other fields such as using counter-data, participatory research techniques, anonymity by design and explore how they may apply to teaching data visualizations. We will also explore how as data practitioners we can manage complexity and uncertainty in our data in ethical ways. We will end the session by working together on some instruction design activities that participants will be able to workshop with each other in groups. This workshop is suitable for people who are interested in both learning about data visualizations and teaching data visualizations at all levels.

PV Modules

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3254-3259
description: With data made available by a photovoltaic (PV) test facility located on top of an office building of the
Utrecht University the performance of ten PV modules during time periods of low irradiance and precipitation was
analysed. Using values for direct irradiance by Bird’s SPCTRAL2 model and measured climatic conditions a weather
classification system was designed in order to categorize time periods and make a comparison between rainy and
non-rainy time periods possible. Results show that precipitation induces a blue shift in the solar spectrum increasing
the short-circuit current (ISC) of the modules (a-Si and CdTe in particular). Furthermore it is shown that precipitation
causes module temperature to drop resulting in an increase in open-circuit voltage (VOC) for all modules. In terms of
the performance ratio (PR) it is shown that almost all modules perform better under rainy than under non-rainy
weather conditions, but it is noted that incorrect measurements of module temperature most likely overestimate the
PR for some of the investigated modules.

description: The electronic transport through Au-(Cu$_{2}$O)$_n$-Au junctions is investigated using first-principles calculations and the nonequilibrium Green's function method. The effect of varying the thickness (i.e., $n$) is studied as well as that of point defects and anion substitution. For all Cu$_{2}$O thicknesses the conductance is more enhanced by bulk-like (in contrast to near-interface) defects, with the exception of O vacancies and Cl substitutional defects. A similar transmission behavior results from Cu deficiency and N substitution, as well as from Cl substitution and N interstitials for thick Cu$_{2}$O junctions. In agreement with recent experimental observations, it is found that N and Cl doping enhances the conductance. A Frenkel defect, i.e., a superposition of an O interstitial and O substitutional defect, leads to a remarkably high conductance. From the analysis of the defect formation energies, Cu vacancies are found to be particularly stable, in agreement with earlier experimental and theoretical work.

description: The metal organic framework (MOF) material UiO-66 has emerged as one of the most promising MOF materials due to its thermal and chemical stability and its potential for catalytic applications. Typically, as-synthesised UiO-66 has a relatively high concentration of missing linker defects. The presence of these defects has been correlated with catalytic activity but characterisation of defect structure has proved elusive. We refine a recent experimental determination of defect structure using static and dynamic first principles approaches, which reveals a dynamic and labile acid centre that could be tailored for functional applications in catalysis.

description: Appointment scheduling systems are utilized mainly by specialty care clinics to manage access to service providers as well as by hospitals to schedule patient appointments. When attending hospitals in Tanzania, patients experience challenges to see an appropriate specialist doctor because of service interval inconsistency. Timely availability of doctors is critical whenever a patient needs to see a specialist doctor for treatment and a serious bottleneck lies in the application of appropriate technology techniques to enhance appointment scheduling. In this paper, we present a mobile based application scheduling system for managing patient appointments. Furthermore, forthcoming opportunities for the innovative use of the mobile based application scheduling system are identified.
