description: The Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) is one of two focal plane instruments on the AKARI satellite. FIS has four photometric bands at 65, 90, 140, and 160 um, and uses two kinds of array detectors. The FIS arrays and optics are designed to sweep the sky with high spatial resolution and redundancy. The actual scan width is more than eight arcmin, and the pixel pitch is matches the diffraction limit of the telescope. Derived point spread functions (PSFs) from observations of asteroids are similar to the optical model. Significant excesses, however, are clearly seen around tails of the PSFs, whose contributions are about 30% of the total power. All FIS functions are operating well in orbit, and its performance meets the laboratory characterizations, except for the two longer wavelength bands, which are not performing as well as characterized. Furthermore, the FIS has a spectroscopic capability using a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS). Because the FTS takes advantage of the optics and detectors of the photometer, it can simultaneously make a spectral map. This paper summarizes the in-flight technical and operational performance of the FIS.

Large PV Power Plants and Distributed PV: System Aspects and Grid Connection

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4006-4008
description: To prevent fires on PV farms, DC cables have to be sized correctly and PV modules must be protected against reverse currents due to short circuits. But one feature specific to PV installations is that short circuit currents, which depend on the irradiance, may be permanent, as to low to make the protections quickly melt or trip. The difficulty in sizing cables and protections is that several different rules exist. A lot of standards are still emerging, and some of them, like the French standard UTE C 15-712-1 are more accomplished. However, they all agree on the
logical fact that the PV module and cable protection has to be defined first, and then after the cable current-carrying capacity and cross-sectional area according to that protection. The first aim of this article is to clarify the different DC cable and parallel strings sizing rules, to reach a safe installation. However, a PV installation must be safe AND remain profitable; indeed cables account for a large part of installation costs! The second objective of this paper is to show in what way cross-sectional areas can be reduced by optimizing calculation, and how the number of strings in parallel on one protection can be increased on large solar farms.

Similarly, using the effective radius $R_e$ and the rest-frame $u-r$ color, we find that red (large) galaxies reside in halos that are in average $2.6$ ($2.3$) times more massive than those hosting blue (small) galaxies.

description: This work highlights recent efforts to reduce silver percentage in metallization pastes, and the effects of
reduced silver loading on cell performance. The silver content of an N+ contacting silver paste was significantly
reduced in order to lower the total silver usage on an N-type cell. Paste screening was performed on P-type Cz
wafers to evaluate contacting behavior of reduced-Ag paste on an N+ emitter. Experimental results indicate that both
silver and inorganic content can be optimized to improve the contact resistance. However, a balance between line
and contact resistance must be established to achieve the highest fill factor and performance. By tailoring the silver
morphology as well as the inorganic chemistry , the new generation of lower Ag N+ paste was able to achieve
dramatically improved contact to the N+ surface of an N-type cell while reducing paste consumption. As the industry
leader in state-of-the-art PV pastes, Heraeus continues to improve the performance-to-cost ratio of its metallization to
meet market demands and new technological requirements.

description: The Distributed Maximum Power Point Tracking (DMPPT) technology, consisting in the adoption of a
dedicated DC-DC converter for each PV module, is able to improve PhotoVoltaic (PV) fields performances, since it
accurately tracks each PV generator MPP overcoming mismatching and shadow phenomena. This technology is a
booming market and many power optimizers are actually commercia lly available. Their different converter
topologies and MPPT algorithms used assure different performances in terms of energetic efficiency. Others crucial
aspects in PV power optimizers are represented by the system thermal management and reliability. The aim of this
paper is to consider how the thermal factor influences the DMPPT converter devices behaviour and so the whole
power optimizer reliability performances.
Material modelling of fabric deformation in forming simulation of fiber-metal laminates - A review on modelling fabric coupling mechanisms

description: During forming of complex fiber-metal laminates (FML), compressive stress zones occur. In pure textile forming, these compressive stresses typically lead to extensive wrinkling. In FML forming, however, wrinkling is partly hindered by the metal layers. Thus, combined stress states occur, where compression influences the deformation. In forming simulation, these compressive stresses can lead to erroneous formation of shear bands within the fabric layer, if the deformation behavior is not modelled correctly. Simple fabric models neither consider interactions between roving directions nor model interactions between membrane strains and shear strains. More advanced invariant-based hyperelastic material models are able to capture these interactions, but only consider tension and shear, while disregarding compression. A common assumption is to set the fabric compression stiffness close to zero. Experimentally, the in-plane fabric compression stiffness has not been determined so far. However, in FML forming, the compression stiffness and the combined compressiontension- shear behavior becomes relevant. In this article, the authors summarize and analyze the capacity of state-of-the-art fabric material models to predict the deformation behavior of fabrics under combined loading. Based on these findings, conclusions are drawn for a new macroscopic modeling approach for woven fabrics, including coupling of tension, compression and shear.

description: Tin sulfide (SnS) is one of the most promising materials for photovoltaic applications. In this paper we
investigate the influence of the deposition conditions and substrate material on the microstructure of SnS thin films
deposited by the hot wall vacuum deposition method on glass and Mo-coated glass substrates, including the
examination of its crystal structure, phase analysis, depth distribution of the elements, morphology and topology by
XRD, AES, SEM and AFM techniques. The SnS layers are single-phase with orthorhombic SnS structure (space
group Pbnm, structure type B16) and mostly uniform depth distribution of the elements. Mo atoms do not penetrate
into SnS layer, while tin and sulfur atoms diffuse into Mo layer forming the phase of cubic Mo structure. Tin sulfide
films on pure glass substrates show (111) or (010) preferred orientations, while the films on Mo-coated glass
substrates are oriented only along (111) plane. SnS thin films are polycrystalline with pinhole-free densely packed
microstructure and strongly adhered to the substrate surface. The surface roughness mean values (Ra) are in range of
50–65 nm for SnS films grown on pure glass and in range of 55–150 nm for the films grown on Mo-coated glass.

description: We study quasiperiodically forced circle endomorphisms, homotopic to the identity, and show that under suitable conditions these exhibit uncountably many minimal sets with a complicated structure, to which we refer to as `strangely dispersed'. Along the way, we generalise some well-known results about circle endomorphisms to the uniquely ergodically forced case. Namely, all rotation numbers in the rotation interval of a uniquely ergodically forced circle endomorphism are realised on minimal sets, and if the rotation interval has non-empty interior then the topological entropy is strictly positive. The results apply in particular to the quasiperiodically forced Arnold circle map, which serves as a paradigm example.

description: We show that the Coulomb interaction between two circuits separated by an insulating layer leads to unconventional thermoelectric effects, such as the cooling by thermal current effect, the transverse thermoelectric effect and Maxwell's demon effect. The first refers to cooling in one circuit induced by the thermal current in the other circuit. The middle represents electric power generation in one circuit by the temperature gradient in the other circuit. The physical picture of Coulomb drag between the two circuits is first demonstrated for the case with one quantum dot in each circuits and then elaborated for the case with two quantum dots in each circuits. In the latter case, the heat exchange between the two circuits can vanish. Last, we also show that the Maxwell's demon effect can be realized in the four-terminal quantum dot thermoelectric system, in which the quantum system absorbs the heat from the high-temperature heat bath and releases the same heat to the low-temperature heat bath without any energy exchange with the two heat baths. Our study reveals the role of Coulomb interaction in non-local four-terminal thermoelectric transport.

description: Laser Doping (LD) has become a good alternative to furnace diffusion processes typically employed for the
fabrication of crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells. This laser technique offers a wide versatility, since it allows the
creation of locally doped regions without lithography. Such doped regions can be used to generate a Back Surface
Field (BSF) effect as well as to act as selective emitters. In this work, we apply the LD technique to create p+ regions
from three different solid sources deposited onto n-type c-Si wafers. The materials selected as solid dopant sources
are: Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) layers with different thicknesses, solidified Boron Spin-on-Dopant Solution (SOD),
and finally, evaporated aluminum. A pulsed Nd-YAG 1064 nm laser in nanosecond regime is employed to create the
p+ doped regions. Laser parameters such as pulse energy, pulse duration and number of pulses, are varied in order to
find the conditions leading to the optimal electrical behavior of the formed junctions. The resulting exponential
behavior of the J-V curves evidences the formation of p+-n junctions. Furthermore, the ideality factors, extracted
from the J-V curves, exhibit a strong dependence on the chosen dopant source. The Aluminum Oxide source leads to
the best electrical results with local ideality factors close to unity. Thus, it is possible to estimate values of about
660 mV and 200 fA/cm2 for open circuit voltage (Voc) and emitter saturation current density (J0e) respectively, for a
hypothetical solar cell fabricated with an Al2O3 laser emitter.

description: Semiconductor emitter can possibly achieve sharp cutoff wavelength due to its intrinsic bandgap absorption and almost zero sub-bandgap emission without doping. A germanium wafer based selective emitter with front-side antireflection and backside metal coating is studied here for thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion. Optical simulation predicts the spectral emittance above 0.9 in the wavelengths from 1 to 1.85 um and below 0.2 in the sub-bandgap range with sharp cutoff around the bandgap, indicating superior spectral selectivity behavior. This is confirmed by excellent agreement with indirectly measured spectral emittance of the fabricated Ge-based selective emitter sample. Furthermore, the TPV efficiency by paring the Ge-based selective emitter with a GaSb cell is theoretically analyzed at different temperatures. This work will facilitate the development of the semiconductor-based selective emitters for enhancing TPV performance.

description: APOLLON is an European collaborative Project of the Seven Framework program started in July 2008 involving SMEs, industries and several research Institutions with the aim to develop economical competitive Point focus and Mirror Based Spectra Splitting photovoltaic concentrating modules (systems). In this contest, a point focus optical system has been developed by ENEA in close collaboration with SE SRTIIE and CRP. It is composed by a primary refractive optic and a reflective secondary element; the target concentration ratio is about of 750 X. The primary optic is a refractive lens having an hybrid Fresnel-prismatic shape designed by ENEA and realized by CRP using the injection-compression molding process. The Secondary Optical Element is a truncated cone realized by SE SRTIIE with a commercial reflective sheet supplied by Alanod and named “Miro high reflective 95”. The optical system has been tested both in indoor and in outdoor conditions at the ENEA Research Center Laboratories obtaining
excellent optical performance. In particular, an optical efficiency of 81% with ±0,9° acceptance angle have been
measured.

description: The permeation, rejection, and transport of electrolytes in water-filled nanopores are critical to ion current gating and desalinalion processes in synthetic porous membranes and the functions of biological ion channels. Mile the effects of confinement pore polarizability, and discrete channel charge sites have been much studied, the potentially dramatic impact of dipole-lined synthetic pores on electrolytes has seldom been addressed. Dipole layers naturally occur on the interior surfaces of certain nanopores, leading to intrinsic preference for cations or anions. This preference can be exploited when the membrane surface is functionalized differently from the pore interior or when there are alternating dipolar/nondipolar stretches inside a long pore. The dipole-ion interaction is asymptotically unscreened by water, leading to ionic, charge segregated, insulating behavior that can block ion transport, and potentially novel current-voltage (I-V) characteristics.

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 964-967
description: In this work we are assessing the role of Si3N4 crucible coating end temperature sintering as a potential source of
oxygen contamination of HEM multicrystalline silicon ingot for solar cells manufacturing by using different advanced analytical
techniques such as simultaneous DTA-TGA-DSC thermal analyzer for investigating the stability of silicon nitride crucible coating in
the temperature range 20 °C - 1450°C under an oxidative atmosphere during sintering (prior the loading of the silicon feedstock in the
silica crucible), an FTIR spectrometer to measure at room temperature the [Oi] in the edge of the HEM silicon ingot and a Scanning
Electron Microscope (SEM) provided with an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) was used for identifying the amount of oxygen
in raw and sintered (applied) silicon nitride coating layer. The measurements of [Oi] in the silicon ingot edge has shown average
concentration of 20 ppm in the edge. The TGA curves versus temperature show that debindled raw silicon nitride powder is stable up
to 800°C, and then it starts oxidizing. However, the intense oxidation of raw Si3N4 starts around 940°C and continues until 1095°C
which is the sintering end temperature of applied raw silicon nitride coating, and an important increase in mass of the Si3N4 powder of
about 0.5 % represent the amount of oxygen added to the silicon nitride material during oxidation. The EDS analyses of raw silicon
nitride powder for crucible coating preparation has shown no significant oxygen content at the surface of coating, however, the same
analyses of sintered applied silicon nitride coating layer onto the silica crucible intern wall has shown an amount of oxygen
concentration between 33% and 40% in masse. The majority of this oxygen is concentrated in the surface of the coating because it is
directly exposed to air during sintering. These results confirm the results of TGA/DTA and clearly indicate that sintering Si3N4 coating
at high temperature as much as 1095°C could lead to an intense contamination of the edge of the mc-Si ingot by oxygen.

description: The spin-motive force (SMF) in a simple ferromagnetic monolayer caused by a surface acoustic wave is studied theoretically via spin-vorticity coupling (SVC). The SMF has two mechanisms. The first is the SVC-driven SMF, which produces the first harmonic electromotive force, and the second is the interplay between the SVC and the magentoelastic coupling, which produces the d.c. and second harmonic electromotive forces. We show that these electric voltages induced by a Rayleigh-type surface acoustic wave can be detected in polycrystalline nickel. No sophisticated device structures, non-collinear magnetic structures, or strong spin-orbit materials are used in our approach. Consequently, it is intended to broaden the spectrum of SMF applications considerably.

description: We present a spectroscopic analysis of four massive binary systems that are known or are good candidates to display the Struve-Sahade effect (defined as the apparent strengthening of the secondary spectrum of the binary when the star is approaching, and the corresponding weakening of the lines when it is receding). We use high resolution optical spectra to determine new orbital solutions and spectral types of HD 165052, HD 100213, HD 159176 and DH Cep. As good knowledge of the fundamental parameters of the considered systems is necessary to examine the Struve-Sahade effect. We then study equivalent width variations in the lines of both components of these binaries during their orbital cycle. In the case of these four systems, variations appear in the equivalent widths of some lines during the orbital cycle, but the definition given above can any longer be valid, since it is now clear that the effect modifies the primary spectrum as much as the secondary spectrum. Furthermore, the lines affected, and the way in which they are affected, depend on the considered system. For at least two of them (HD 100213 and HD 159176) these variations probably reflect the ellipsoidal variable nature of the system.

description: [ABRIDGED] We report the results of a 944-epoch survey for transient sources with archival data from the Very Large Array spanning 22 years with a typical epoch separation of 7 days. Observations were obtained at 5 or 8.4 GHz for a single field of view with a full-width at half-maximum of 8.6' and 5.1', respectively, and achieved a typical point-source detection threshold at the beam center of ~300 microJy per epoch. Ten transient sources were detected with a significance threshold such that only one false positive would be expected. Of these transients, eight were detected in only a single epoch. Two transients were too faint to be detected in individual epochs but were detected in two-month averages. None of the ten transients was detected in longer-term averages or associated with persistent emission in the deep image produced from the combination of all epochs. The cumulative rate for the short timescale radio transients above 370 microJy at 5 and 8.4 GHz is 0.07 < R < 40 deg^-2 yr^-1, where the uncertainty is due to the unknown duration of the transients, 20 min < t_char < 7 days. A two-epoch survey for transients will detect 1.5 +/- 0.4 transient per square degrees above a flux density of 370 microJy. Two transients are associated with galaxies at z=0.040 and z=0.249. These may be similar to the peculiar Type Ib/c radio supernova SN 1998bw associated with GRB 980428. Six transients have no counterparts in the optical or infrared (R=27, Ks=18). The hosts and progenitors of these transients are unknown.

particular in France the feed-in tariffs greatly favour such BIPV systems, with an increasing variety of integration
structures. One of the specificities of such systems is their potential increased temperature due to lower ventilation,
associated loss of performances and possible long-term degradation effects. This temperature increase can be difficult
to quantify, therefore altering the reliability in the rate of return of an installation. The purpose of this work is to study
experimentally the thermal behaviour of photovoltaic systems integrated into building rooftops (BIPV technology) to
calibrate advanced thermo-electric model (subject to a second communication) to determine guide lines of good
practice for simulations of BIPV systems. This analysis also permits the identification of effective methods to
characterize and compare different technologies and installation practices, in terms of energy losses or energy
incertitude.

description: BACKGROUND: Anticipatory medications are injectable drugs prescribed ahead of possible need for administration if distressing symptoms arise in the final days of life. Little is known about how they are prescribed in primary care. AIM: To investigate the frequency, timing and recorded circumstances of anticipatory medications prescribing for patients living at home and in residential care. DESIGN: Retrospective mixed methods observational study using General Practitioner and community nursing clinical records. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: 329 deceased adult patients registered with Eleven General Practitioner practices and two associated community nursing services in two English counties (30 most recent deaths per practice). Patients died from any cause except trauma, sudden death or suicide, between 4 March 2017 and 25 September 2019. RESULTS: Anticipatory medications were prescribed for 167/329 (50.8%) of the deceased patients, between 0 and 1212 days before death (median 17 days). The likelihood of prescribing was significantly higher for patients with a recorded preferred place of death (odds ratio [OR] 34; 95% CI 15-77; p

description: Magnetocaloric effect (MCE), magnetization, specific heat, and magnetostriction measurements were performed in both pulsed and steady high magnetic fields to investigate the magnetocaloric properties of Heusler alloys Ni50-xCoxMn31.5Ga18.5 (x = 9 and 9.7). From direct MCE measurements for Ni41Co9Mn31.5Ga18.5 up to 56 T, a steep temperature drop was observed for magnetic-field-induced martensitic transformation (MFIMT), designated as inverse MCE. Remarkably, this inverse MCE is apparent not only with MFIMT, but also in the magnetic-field-induced austenite phase. Specific heat measurements under steady high magnetic fields revealed that the magnetic field variation of the electronic entropy plays a dominant role in the unconventional magnetocaloric properties of these materials. First-principles based calculations performed for Ni41Co9Mn31.5Ga18.5 and Ni45Co5Mn36.7In13.3 revealed that the magnetic-field-induced austenite phase of Ni41Co9Mn31.5Ga18.5 is more unstable than that of Ni45Co5Mn36.7In13.3 and that it is sensitive to slight tetragonal distortion. We conclude that the inverse MCE in the magnetic-field-induced austenite phase is realized by marked change in the electronic entropy through tetragonal distortion induced by the externally applied magnetic field.

description: In this paper the authors present the results of work on production of solar cells based on multicrystalline silicon using SoG-Si before final purification. The results of investigating the parameters of solar cells produced using SoG-Si as well as physical, chemical and electrical properties of the material at different technological stages from SoG-Si to solar cells are presented. Final purification of SoG-Si was carried out by induction melting in cold crucible (IMCC). This method has a number of advantages, namely high growing speed and absence of expensive consumables. Growing of ingots for their subsequent cutting into wafers was carried out by
directional solidification method. Experimental batches of multicrystalline silicon ingots from purified by IMCC
SoG-Si were received. The results obtained from investigation of solar cells parameters prove the promising nature of
using the process chain with induction melting in cold crucible and a traditional directional solidification for
production of solar cells from SoG-Si.

Large PV Power Plants and Distributed PV: System Aspects and Grid Connection

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3740-3744
description: The low-voltage network in southern Germany has to cope with an increasing number of
photovoltaic (PV) systems. High power feedback to higher voltage levels indicates a discrepancy in the
decentralized production and the local consumption and therefore a noticeably impact on the medium and low
voltage grid. This paper discusses the characteristics of a real medium voltage grid including its underlying low
voltage grids with a distributed PV fleet of about 5 kW per house connection (HC). The focus hereby is on the
meteorological caused impacts and the interaction with the consumption. In this context the relevant conditions
from a grid planning point of view are identified and characteristic measures are presented.

description: In this paper, we show the latest results of CEA-INES on the development of HET and IBC-HET solar
cells. We have focused the research on the optimization of the amorphous (a-Si:H) and TCO layers to increase Jsc
and FF values on HET cells. Moreover, we have fabricated silver –free HET solar cells with a Copper electroplating
metallization. We also show our latest results obtained with a new structure combining HET and IBC (Interdigitated
Back Contact) concepts: the SLASH IBC cell (Structuring by Laser Ablation of Silicon Heterojunction). Short-circuit
current issues for both standard - and IBC – HET solar cells are discussed in this paper. Efficiencies higher than 22%
have been achieved on 100 cm2 standard HET solar cells and close to 20% on 25 cm2 SLASH IBC cells.

description: Using the integral field unit (IFU) data from Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, we collect a sample of 36 star forming galaxies that host galactic-scale outflows in ionized gas phase. The control sample is matched in the three dimensional parameter space of stellar mass, star formation rate and inclination angle. Concerning the global properties, the outflows host galaxies tend to have smaller size, more asymmetric gas disk, more active star formation in the center and older stellar population than the control galaxies. Comparing the stellar population properties along axes, we conclude that the star formation in the outflows host galaxies can be divided into two branches. One branch evolves following the inside-out formation scenario. The other locating in the galactic center is triggered by gas accretion or galaxy interaction, and further drives the galactic-scale outflows. Besides, the enhanced star formation and metallicity along minor axis of outflows host galaxies uncover the positive feedback and metal entrainment in the galactic-scale outflows. Observational data in different phases with higher spatial resolution are needed to reveal the influence of galactic-scale outflows on the star formation progress in detail.

description: Absorption spectroscopy is widely used to determine absorption and transmission spectra of chromophores in solution, in addition to suspensions of particles, including micro-organisms. Light scattering, caused by photons deflected from part or all of the cells or other particles in suspension, results in distortions to the absorption spectra, lost information and poor resolution. A spectrophotometer with an integrating sphere may be used to alleviate this problem. However, these instruments are not universally available in biology laboratories, for reasons such as cost. Here, we describe a novel, rapid, and inexpensive technique that minimises the effect of light scattering when performing whole-cell spectroscopy. This method involves using a custom made dual compartment cuvette containing titanium dioxide in one chamber as a scattering agent. Measurements were conducted of a range of different photosynthetic micro-organisms of varying cell size and morphology, including cyanobacteria, eukaryotic microalgae and a purple non-sulphur bacterium. A concentration of 1 mg ml-1 titanium dioxide, using a spectrophotometer with a slit width of 5 nm, produced spectra for cyanobacteria and microalgae similar (1-4% difference) to those obtained using an integrating sphere. The spectrum > 520 nm was similar to that with an integrating sphere with the purple non-sulphur bacterium. This system produced superior results to those obtained using a recently reported method, the application of the diffusing agent, Scotch™ Magic tape, to the side of the cuvette. The protocol can be completed in an equivalent period of time to standard whole-cell absorbance spectroscopy techniques, and is, in principle, suitable for any dual-beam spectrophotometer.
