description: This paper presents the design, development and results obtained with the mobile laboratory - PV Mobile
Lab implemented by Enertis Solar. This laboratory has been designed to carry out the on-site quality control of
photovoltaic modules. Such quality control is based on the application of several tests regulated by international
standards and presented in previous publications as a plan for quality assurance program QAP [1]. The design of the
mobile laboratory ensures the reliability of the results as if conducted in a conventional laboratory. Its innovative design
based on an expandable system has allowed for the implementation of a solar simulator tunnel type (illuminated area 2x2
m2 and lamp - DUT distance 5.5 m) in a vehicle that weighs less than 3,500 kg. The spectral, temporal and spatial (nonuniformity)
stability of the simulator remain within the parameters of a class A+A+A+ simulator. The environmental
conditions during the performance of the tests are controlled and the flash incidence is normal to the module surface.
With the development of this powerful tool, Enertis Solar is the first IEC 17025 accredited laboratory capable of
performing on-site test in PV modules. The paper shows the first results after 6 months in operation. Furthermore, a
detailed example of the results obtained in the quality control of 500 modules tested during the commissioning test of 2
PV plants located in the UK is presented.

description: Hybrid IP networks that use both control paradigms - distributed and centralized - promise the best of two worlds: programmability and agility of SDN, and reliability and fault tolerance of distributed routing protocols like OSPF. The common approaches follow a division of labor concept, where SDN controls prioritized traffic and OSPF assures care-free operation of best effort traffic. We propose SDN Partitioning, which establishes centralized control over the distributed routing protocol by partitioning the topology into sub-domains with SDN-enabled border nodes, such that OSPF's routing updates have to traverse SDN border nodes to reach neighboring sub-domains. This allows the central controller to modify how sub-domains view one another, which in turn allows to steer inter-sub-domain traffic. The degree of dynamic control against simplicity of OSPF can be trade off by adjusting the size of the sub-domains. This paper explains the technical requirements, presents a novel scheme for balanced topology partitioning, and provides the models for common network management tasks. Our performance evaluation shows that - already in its minimum configuration with two sub-domains - SDN Partitioning provides significant improvements in all respects compared to legacy routing protocols, whereas smaller sub-domains provide network control capabilities comparable to full SDN deployment.

description: The friendship paradox is the phenomenon that in social networks, people on average have fewer friends than their friends do. The generalized friendship paradox is an extension to attributes other than the number of friends. The friendship paradox and its generalized version have gathered recent attention due to the information they provide about network structure and local inequalities. In this paper, we propose several measures of nodal qualities which capture different aspects of their activities and influence in online social networks. Using these measures we analyse the prevalence of the generalized friendship paradox over Twitter and we report high levels of prevalence (up to over 90\% of nodes). We contend that this prevalence of the friendship paradox and its generalized version arise because of the hierarchical nature of the connections in the network. This hierarchy is nested as opposed to being star-like. We conclude that these paradoxes are collective phenomena not created merely by a minority of well-connected or high-attribute nodes. Moreover, our results show that a large fraction of individuals can experience the generalized friendship paradox even in the absence of a significant correlation between degrees and attributes.

description: For mass production of solar cells, two types of test systems have been widely used: continuous types
and flash types. Each type has its own benefits and drawbacks, but the both have proven their measurement
consistency in actual c-Si cell production lines. The continuous type uses a xenon short-arc lamp, and in order to
stabilize the light, mid-range or high-end systems are normally equipped with a highly stable power supply (bipolar
type) and a light feedback mechanism. The flash type uses a xenon long-arc lamp, and due to its difficulty of
stabilizing the light, this type uses a reference cell to adjust its measurement. Technically, these are two very
different approaches.
This paper describes a test system, a kind of mixture of these two approaches; the system uses a xenon long-arc
lamp in a pulsed mode, but very tightly controls the light, even more tightly than the high-end continuous type. The
IV measuring unit used for the test system is also our original design and perfectly matched to the light source.
The test results in this paper show the system can make very accurate measurements. In addition, our IV measuring
unit can be used for high-efficiency cell and module measurement without major alterations as described in the other
paper listed in REFERENCES

description: We consider the Einstein-dust equations with positive cosmological constant $λ$ on manifolds with time slices diffeomorphic to an orientable, compact 3-manifold $S$. It is shown that the set of standard Cauchy data for the Einstein-$λ$-dust equations on $S$ contains an open (in terms of suitable Sobolev norms) subset of data that develop into solutions which admit at future time-like infinity a space-like conformal boundary ${\cal J}^+$ that is $C^{\infty}$ if the data are of class $C^{\infty}$ and of correspondingly lower smoothness otherwise. As a particular case follows a strong stability result for FLRW solutions. The solutions can conveniently be characterized in terms of their asymptotic end data induced on ${\cal J}^+$, only a linear equation must be solved to construct such data. In the case where the energy density $\hatρ$ is everywhere positive such data can be constructed without solving any differential equation at all.

description: On the road towards standardized electrical power measurement of MICROMORPHTM tandem PV
modules, the company’s metrology laboratory is in full operation. The key instrumentation, a spectrally tunable largearea
solar simulator on the basis of a commercial system, provides the appropriate adjustments to achieve the
standard test conditions (STC). The measurement of the spectral irradiance is performed with primary calibrated
spectrally selective component solar cells. The previously presented work on the traceable flasher-based power
measurements of MICROMORPHTM tandem modules [1] is completed with regard to an error analysis and a required
solution for transient problems of fast measurements. An advanced multi-flashing procedure is introduced and the
successful application reported. Aside from the precise STC measurement in the sense of the calibration of reference
modules, the spectral tuning allows deeper investigations with multiple IV measurements as valuable feedback for the
module design development. Such a spectrometric characterization of a series of MICROMORPHTM modules with
different bottom cell thicknesses results in the important assessment of the current matching of the tandem devices.

description: Direct laser acceleration of electrons in ion channels is investigated in a general case when the laser phase velocity is greater than (or equal to) the speed of light. Using the similarity of the equations of motion for ultra-relativistic electrons, we develop a universal scaling theory that gives the maximum possible energy that can be attained by an electron for given laser and plasma parameters. The theory predicts appearance of forbidden zones in the phase space of the particle, which manifests itself as an energy gain threshold. We apply the developed theory to find the conditions needed for an energy enhancement via a resonant interaction between the third harmonic of betatron oscillations and the laser wave. The theory is also used to analyze electron dynamics in a circularly polarized laser.

description: The effects of solar simulator xenon flash lamp ageing and spectral output measurement uncertainty
on the spectral mismatch are investigated. Initial measurements demonstrated that the spectrum of an older lamp set
has a relatively lower blue and larger red content compared to a new set of bulbs. Measurements over the life-time of
several sets of bulbs however, showed large unexpected variations due to measurement uncertainty in the spectral
measurements themselves. The main influencing factors are investigated and a faulty temperature control is found to
be the main source of uncertainty. It is shown that this alone can affect the mismatch calculation to a larger degree
than the MMF would correct in itself.
SEDeblend: A new method for deblending spectral energy distributions in confused imaging

description: For high-redshift submillimetre or millimetre sources detected with single dish telescopes, interferometric follow-up has shown that many are multiple submm galaxies blended together. Confusion-limited Herschel observations of such targets are also available, and these sample the peak of their spectral energy distribution in the far-infrared. Many methods for analysing these data have been adopted, but most follow the traditional approach of extracting fluxes before model spectral energy distributions are fit, which has the potential to erase important information on degeneracies among fitting parameters and glosses over the intricacies of confusion noise. Here, we adapt the forward-modelling method that we originally developed to disentangle a high-redshift strongly-lensed galaxy group, in order to tackle this problem in a more statistically rigorous way, by combining source deblending and SED fitting into the same procedure. We call this method "SEDeblend." As an application, we derive constraints on far-infrared luminosities and dust temperatures for sources within the ALMA follow-up of the LABOCA Extended Chandra Deep Field South Submillimetre Survey. We find an average dust temperature for an 870 micron-selected sample of (33.9+-2.4) K for the full survey. When selection effects of the sample are considered, we find no evidence that the average dust temperature evolves with redshift.

of solar cells and PV modules is proposed. The procedure allows to evaluate the uncertainty in measuring the IV
curve and output PV parameters of multijunction thin-film PV modules (a-Si:H/μc-Si:H) using a solar simulator in
R&D and industrial conditions. The Ishikawa cause-effect diagrams for analyzing sources of the uncertainty in
measuring the short circuit current and the maximum output power were constructed. The main components of the
combined uncertainties in measuring the output parameters of PV modules were determined as well as the values of
type «B» standard uncertainties were evaluated. The calculation of the combined standard uncertainties has been
carried out for establishing the confidence intervals for the short circuit current, the open circuit voltage and the
maximum output power at the corresponding level of confidence.

description: We analyze a roughly 20 yr set of spectroscopic observations for the symbiotic binary EG And. Radial velocities derived from echelle spectra are best-fit with a circular orbit having orbital period P = 483.3 +- 1.6 days and semi-amplitude K = 7.34 +- 0.07 km/sec. Combined with previous data, these observations rule out an elliptical orbit at the 10-sigma level. Equivalent widths of H~I Balmer emission lines and various absorption features vary in phase with the orbital period. Relative to the radius of the red giant primary, the apparent size of the H II region is consistent with a model where a hot secondary star with effective temperature of roughly 75,000 K ionizes the wind from the red giant.

description: An ambitious National Renewable Energy Development Program (NRP) was launched back in 2011 by
the Algerian government for the production of electricity from renewable sources including solar, reaching a
production of 22 000 MW, which will corresponds a total of 40% of global electricity production by 2030.
The Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Photovoltaic (PV) applications will take the major part of the program due
to the availability of large amounts of solar radiation in the country.
However, the knowledge of the potential solar of the region is crucial for sizing different solar systems before their
installation at a particular location.
According to its geographical location, Algeria holds one of the highest solar potential in the Mediterranean basin, as
indicated in previous studies. Sunshine duration on almost all the country is over 2000 hours per year and can reach
3900 hours in the Highlands and the Sahara.
Unfortunately, measurement of the solar global radiation is limited to a few stations over a country like Algeria, with
a huge area 2,381,741 km2, where it is necessary to have numerous stations performing radiation measurement in
order to quantify in an objective way the solar potential.
In the present paper a solar mapping methodology is presented leading us to draw up the Algerian solar map and in
the future the establishment of a solar atlas.
Studies have shown that a strong correlation exists between solar radiation and some meteorological parameters.
Thus, mathematical models were used in order to perform the estimation, a total of 64 stations covering the whole
area of the country were considered, giving more information to our software to draw up solar maps, the plotting is
done using SURFER ® software.
Furthermore, for the validation, measured data for five (05) locations across the country were used in order to make
comparison to those given by models. The confrontation showed that some model gave more realistic results for our
case.

description: To primarily calibrate WPVS reference solar cells with lowest uncertainties it is necessary to determine
the influence of each measurement parameter in detail. One of these parameters is the absolute spectral irradiance on
the measurement plane. In this work we show that a magnification effect during photo current measurements with
divergent light sources on WPVS solar cells lead to an offset of the measurement plane for cells with a covering front
glass. Next to its physical background two methods are presented to determine this virtual mounting depth. The found
experimental results show an offset of 1.4 mm, in correspondence to the theoretical predicted value.

description: Spectral measurements are an important aspect of environmental monitoring for photovoltaics,
especially concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) that use multi-junction cells with spectrally dependent output. There are
only a few reliable sources of spectrally resolved direct normal irradiance (DNI) data in the world since the
measurement equipment is expensive and calibration is hard to maintain. Efforts have been made to produce a high
quality data set of spectra with reduced measurement uncertainties. An evaluation of the uncertainty of both indoor
and outdoor spectrum measurements and their origins is presented in the paper. A traceable measurement system was
used to calibrate two sets of spectroradiometers and repeated measurements have been carried out to find the
uncertainties of measurement repeatability, positional sensitivity and lamp stability. The two measurement systems
were then used outdoors alongside broadband solar irradiance measurement devices, to determine the differences of
the spectral measurements between the systems. Finally, a collimator was attached to one of the spectroradiometer
systems and measurements were taken using both collimated and non-collimated systems to establish the impact of
the collimator on spectral measurements.

description: The low-frequency peaked BL Lac object (LBL) AP Librae exhibits very-high-energy (VHE, $E>100$GeV) $γ$-ray emission and hosts an extended jet, which has been detected in radio and X-rays. The jet X-ray spectral index implies an inverse Compton origin. These observations are unusual for LBLs calling for a consistent explanation of this extraordinary source. The observationally constrained parameters necessary to describe the core emission within the standard one-zone model are unable to explain the broad-band spectrum, even if observationally unconstrained external photon fields are taken into account. We demonstrate that the addition of the extended jet emission successfully reproduces the total spectral energy distribution. In particular, the VHE radiation is produced in the $>100\,$kpc long extended jet via inverse Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background photons by highly relativistic electrons. We present several ways to test this theory. The extended jet is weakly magnetized ($B_0 = 2.5\,μ$G), while its minimum and maximum electron Lorentz factors are $γ_{min}=60$ and $γ_{max}=5\times 10^6$, respectively. The electron spectral index is $s=2.6$. These parameters are comparable to parameters of other blazars with extended X-ray jets dominated by inverse Compton scattering.

description: Reference cells are preferably used for the calibration of solar cells, solar modules, solar power plants
and solar simulators [1]. Module calibration can take place indoor in measuring laboratories and production facilities,
as well as outdoor at the site of the plant. So far, conventional reference cells usually contain small solar cells with
dimensions of less than 50 mm x 50 mm. The state-of-the-art reference cell architecture does not necessarily match
the cells and materials used in the respective modules. With these two restrictions considerable disadvantages are
associated such as limited measurement accuracy and error susceptibility. The Large Area Reference Cell (LARC®)-
concept allows the use of the same cell technology with similar module materials as the device under test (DUT) as
well as a large active cell area of 156 mm x 156 mm. It thereby omits expensive and error-prone post-processing of
measured data and improves the accuracy of the measurements

description: Previous studies revealed regular occurrences of strong solar irradiance bursts (overirradiance) due to
enhancement of sunlight by clouds. Values well exceeding the extraterrestrial levels were found possible even in
Northern Europe. Our work shows that many overirradiance events cannot be measured accurately at poorer than subsecond
resolution. We give an example of a short burst of 1.5 kW/m2 measured in Norway which could be
significantly underestimated if 1-second resolution had been used. Our 10-millisecond data from year 2012 show that
the optimal resolution for the present test site is about 0.1 s. We present a methodology and simple equations for
measurement optimization at an arbitrary location. Only PV- and photodiode-based sensors can ensure accurate
measurements. Most thermopile pyranometers are too slow and therefore very unsuitable. PC-based data logging is
recommended. In the year 2013, we registered a burst of 1.6 kW/m2 in Southern Norway, at latitude 58°20’N. A
video showing the specific sky conditions (altocumulus clouds with narrow gaps) is made available on the internet.

description: Advanced PV modules often require final testing under simulated sunlight conditions that far surpass
those specified by current solar simulator standards. A compact solar simulator of novel design operating from 300
to 1100 nm is described that far exceeds IEC Class A performance in spectral accuracy and irradiance uniformity, and
which provides constant-intensity, 1-sun flash durations in excess of 130 ms. Simulator performance of this quality is
needed to accurately characterize many of today’s advanced design and new materials based modules. Preliminary
results showing statistically significant power output increase for a selective-emitter crystalline Si-based module
under these UV-enhanced test conditions are presented. Data also demonstrating the excellent measurement
repeatability of this instrument are shown.

description: We study whether the condensation of silicate dust in Mira envelopes could be caused by cluster formation by the abundant SiO molecules. For a simplified model of the pulsational motions of matter in the the outer layers of a Mira variable which is guided by a numerical model for Mira pulsations, the equations of dust nucleation and growth are solved in the co-moving frame of a fixed mass element. It is assumed that seed particles form by clustering of SiO molecules. The calculation of the nucleation rate is based on the experimental data of Nuth and Donn (1982). The quantity of dust formed is calculated by a moment method and the calculation of radiation pressure on the dusty gas is based on a dirty silicate model. Dust nucleation occurs in the model at the upper culmination of the trajectory of a gas parcel where it stays for a considerable time at low temperatures while subsequent dust growth occurs during the descending part of the motion and continues after the next shock reversed motion. It is found that sufficient dust forms that radiation pressure exceeds gravitational pull of the stars such that the mass element is finally driven out of the star. Nucleation of dust particles by clustering of the abundant SiO molecules could be the mechanism that triggers silicate dust formation in Miras.

description: In grid-connected photovoltaic systems, a key consideration in the design and operation of inverters is
how to achieve high efficiency of power output. The requirements for inverter connection include: maximum power
point, high efficiency, control power injected into the grid, and low total harmonic distortion of the currents injected into
the grid. Consequently, the performance of the inverters depends mainly on the control strategy applied. This paper
presents various converter control methods for grid connected photovoltaic systems, and the functional structure of
different configuration of the system connected to the grid. In addition, some control structures for single phase and three
phase inverters are presented and some solutions to control the power injected to the grid are proposed.

description: Multifunctional glazing is a combination of various glazing systems and can comprise permutations of
vacuum glazing, aerogel glazing, PV double glazing and Electrochromic (EC) glazing. It controls solar heat gain,
improves thermal conductivity and can generate small scale electricity, in a variety of climates. The objective of this
research is to investigate the switching voltage of multifunctional glazing, with respect to orientation, time of day and
temperature of the system. We report a relation between temperature and voltage required for the switching
condition.

description: We present experimental evidence of the coronal mass ejection (CME) breakout reconnection, observed by the TESIS EUV telescope. The telescope could observe solar corona up to 2 $R_\odot$ from the Sun center in the Fe 171 Å line. Starting from 2009 April 8 TESIS, observed an active region (AR) that had a quadrupolar structure with an X-point 0.5 $R_\odot$ above photosphere. A reconstructed from the MDI data magnetic field also has a multipolar structure with an X-point above the AR. At 21:45 UT on April 9, the loops near the X-point started to move away from each other with a velocity of $\approx$ 7 km s$^{-1}$. At 01:15 UT on April 10, a bright stripe appeared between the loops, and the flux in the GOES 0.5-4 Å channel increased. We interpret the loops' sideways motion and the bright stripe as evidence of the breakout reconnection. At 01:45 UT, the loops below the X-point started to slowly move up. At 15:10 UT, the CME started to accelerate impulsively, while at the same time a flare arcade formed below the CME. After 15:50 UT, the CME moved with constant velocity. The CME evolution precisely followed the breakout model scenario.

description: We developed a new method of maximum power point tracking, which can calculate new operation
voltage corresponding to the maximum power point after an abrupt change in solar irradiance. The method is deduced
based on a photovoltaic model with appropriate approximation. The new operation voltage is calculated only using a
ratio of current before and after an abrupt change in solar irradiance without any additional hardware. We confirmed
that the method can get to the maximum power point from several to fifteen times faster than a conventional hillclimbing
method.

description: Tracking photovoltaic (PV) can increase annual electricity and monitoring its tracking accuracy is vital
to the performance of PV system. We have developed a technique using a high-resolution CCD and a low-cost
webcam with CMOS sensor for monitor the outdoor performance on a two-axis PV system. This study is to assess the
image quality from both sensors and their characteristics on monitoring offsets of sun-tracking. The CCD apparatus
have shown it is capable of providing reliable sun-tracking measurement while the field test with webcam delivered
similar performance as that of CCD but inferior of capturing clear image in low irradiation. Comparison of both
apparatus was made to assess the relative merits (cost and performance) for sun-tracking.

description: This paper presents a new interleaved high step-up DC-DC converter for PV or fuel cell
applications. The proposed converter utilizes a coupled inductor and a voltage multiplier to achieve high voltage
conversion ratio without extreme duty cycle used. By employing an interleaved operation scheme, the input
current ripple and the current stress on the components of the circuit can be reduced. All the active switches can
be turned on under zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) condition to reduce the switching losses. Besides, the energy
stored in the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor can be recycled, and the reverse-recovery problem of the
output diodes can be alleviated. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter, a 1 kW prototype circuit
with the input voltage of 40V and the output voltage of 400V have been implemented and demonstrated.
DISTEA: Efficient Dynamic Impact Analysis for Distributed Systems

description: Dynamic impact analysis is a fundamental technique for understanding the impact of specific program entities, or changes to them, on the rest of the program for concrete executions. However, existing techniques are either inapplicable or of very limited utility for distributed programs running in multiple concurrent processes. This paper presents DISTEA, a technique and tool for dynamic impact analysis of distributed systems. By partially ordering distributed method-execution events and inferring causality from the ordered events, DISTEA can predict impacts propagated both within and across process boundaries. We implemented DISTEA for Java and applied it to four distributed programs of various types and sizes, including two enterprise systems. We also evaluated the precision and practical usefulness of DISTEA, and demonstrated its application in program comprehension, through two case studies. The results show that DISTEA is highly scalable, more effective than existing alternatives, and instrumental to understanding distributed systems and their executions.

The Case for Dynamic Key Distribution for PKI-Based VANETs

description: Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are becoming a reality where secure communication is a prerequisite. Public key infrastructure (PKI) can be used to secure VANETs where an onboard tamper proof device (TPD) stores a number of encryption keys which are renewed upon visiting a certificate authority (CA). We previously proposed a dynamic key distribution protocol for PKI-based VANETs [1] to reduce the role of the TPD. A vehicle dynamically requests a key from its nearest road side unit. This request is propagated through network infrastructure to reach a CA cloud and a key is securely returned. A proposed key revocation mechanism reduced the number of messages needed for revocation through Certificate Revocation List (CRL) distribution. In this paper, performance evaluation and security of the proposed dynamic key distribution is investigated analytically and through network simulation. Furthermore, extensive analysis is performed to demonstrate how the proposed protocol can dynamically support efficient and cost-reduced key distribution. Analysis and performance evaluation results clearly make the case for dynamic key distribution for PKI-based VANETS.

description: A pulse shape analysis framework is described, which was developed for n_TOF-Phase3, the third phase in the operation of the n_TOF facility at CERN. The most notable feature of this new framework is the adoption of generic pulse shape analysis routines, characterized by a minimal number of explicit assumptions about the nature of pulses. The aim of these routines is to be applicable to a wide variety of detectors, thus facilitating the introduction of the new detectors or types of detectors into the analysis framework. The operational details of the routines are suited to the specific requirements of particular detectors by adjusting the set of external input parameters. Pulse recognition, baseline calculation and the pulse shape fitting procedure are described. Special emphasis is put on their computational efficiency, since the most basic implementations of these conceptually simple methods are often computationally inefficient.

Coverage Gains from the Static Cooperation of Mutually Nearest Neighbours

description: Cooperation in cellular networks has been recently suggested as a promising scheme to improve system performance. In this work, clusters are formed based on the Mutually Nearest Neighbour relation, which defines which stations cooperate in pair and which do not. When node positions follow a Poisson Point Process (PPP) the performance of the original clustering model can be approximated by another one, formed by the superposition of two PPPs (one for the singles and one for the pairs) equipped with adequate marks. This allows to derive exact expressions for the network coverage probability under two user-cluster association rules. Numerical evaluation shows coverage gains from different signal cooperation schemes that can reach up to 15% compared to the standard non-cooperative network coverage. The analysis is general and can be applied to any type of cooperation or coordination between pairs of transmitting nodes.
