description: Purpose: Bilingual development has been shown to be highly dependent on language-specific exposure. This study extended the study of bilingual development to adolescence and to the production of complex syntax in two contexts: conversation and expository discourse. Method: English–French bilinguals (EFbil; n = 27) and French L1 speakers (n = 14) aged 12 to 17 years produced French and English conversational and expository samples. Measures of mean length of T-units and clausal density were used, as well as a measure of detailed subordinate clause diversity developed in this study. Results: Both groups produced more complex syntax in expository discourse compared to conversation and performed very similarly overall. Significant group differences were found in French subordinate clause diversity but not in sentence length or clause density. For EFbil, differences between languages were unexpectedly greater in conversation. Previous language exposure impacted both languages of the EFbil and in both contexts. Conclusions: This study is the first to report on the spontaneous syntactic use of bilingual adolescents in both their languages. Subtle but significant differences were found in the syntactic skills of the two groups. Expository and conversational contexts each provided unique information on aspects of complex syntactic development, calling into question the idea that the ability to produce a more complex context guarantees conversational abilities. Finally, for the EFbil, previous language exposure impacted both languages, particularly in conversation. Supplemental Material S1. English and French syntactic coding. Rioux, E.

description: This study aims to determine the contribution of a house for the sustainable development in mitigating
global warming by reducing greenhouse gases emission (GHG) from electricity generation process. It is taken as a
reference an environmentally efficient solar-house, solar photovoltaic powered. This case study utilized a solar-house
prototype named Ekó House Project. This paper uses the concept of energy generation in the Brazilian National
Interconnected System regarding sources and associated GHG emissions, an inter-related assessment of energy use and
GHG emissions for the residential sector and the setting of guidelines for a house aiming the sustainable development.
Data obtained from the Ekó House prototype utilization are applied considering the replacement of a percentage of
standard Brazilian homes by similar solar houses. The results show a total potential of avoiding up to 3550 Mton CO2
emissions. For each solar-house, the avoided emissions could reach up to 7.1 ton/a year of CO2, which means 355 ton in
its lifetime. From an inter-related analysis of solar photovoltaic generation and energy efficiency assessments, our solarhouse
taken as a reference has an important potential to reduce GHG emissions, contributing to Brazil’s sustainable
development and global warming mitigation.

description: A combined pulsed solar simulator for PV and CPV modules was developed. For CPV applications, a lamp
unit with parallel arrangement of the 4 tubes was constructed with the possibility to reduce the size of the light emitting area
with an aperture. In combination with the light source, a 2.0 m x 1.5 m parabolic mirror with a focal length of 6 m is used for
light collimation.
Different commercial CPV modules were characterized indoor and outdoor at different sites (Cologne and Arizona). With
this pulsed solar simulator it is possible to measure I-V characteristics in a single flash with high reproducibility.

description: By analyzing several scenario “archetypes”, the German Federal Environment Agency
(Umweltbundesamt, UBA) has shown that a future 100% renewables-based power generation is technically and
ecologically feasible. Three radically different scenarios were developed in order to study the technical and
ecological feasibility of Germany switching to an electricity supply based entirely on renewable sources by 2050 and
thus represent extreme points of a solution space. Apart from different generation structures, the studies assume
different degrees of connection and interchange between regions in Germany as well as between Germany and other
countries within a Pan-European network. Within the different generation structures, however, PV plays a crucial role
in all three scenarios as a main pillar in the electricity system. This approach was chosen in order to show that on the
way to a low carbon or even carbon neutral society there are a number of possible paths within the solution space,
depending on political and social priorities.

description: Imposing some flexible sampling scheme we provide some discretization of continuous time discrete scale invariant (DSI) processes which is a subsidiary discrete time DSI process. Then by introducing some simple random measure we provide a second continuous time DSI process which provides a proper approximation of the first one. This enables us to provide a bilateral relation between covariance functions of the subsidiary process and the new continuous time processes. The time varying spectral representation of such continuous time DSI process is characterized, and its spectrum is estimated. Also, a new method for estimation time dependent Hurst parameter of such processes is provided which gives a more accurate estimation. The performance of this estimation method is studied via simulation. Finally this method is applied to the real data of S$\&$P500 and Dow Jones indices for some special periods.

description: The art of imparting information onto a light wave by optical signal modulation is fundamental to all forms of optical communication. Among many schemes, direct modulation of laser diodes stands out as a simple, robust, and cost effective method. However, the simultaneous changes in intensity, frequency and phase are a drawback which has prevented its application in the field of secure quantum communication. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a directly phase-modulated light source which overcomes the main disadvantages associated with direct modulation and is suitable for diverse applications such as coherent communications and quantum cryptography. The source separates the tasks of phase preparation and pulse generation between a pair of semiconductor lasers leading to very pure phase states. Moreover, the cavity enhanced electro-optic effect enables the first example of sub-volt halfwave phase modulation at high signal rates. The source is compact, stable and versatile, and we show its potential to become the standard transmitter for future quantum communication networks.

description: The recently observed diphoton excess at the LHC may suggest the existence of a singlet (pseudo-) scalar particle with a mass of 750 GeV which couples to gluons and photons. Assuming that the couplings to gluons and photons originate from loops of fermions and/or scalars charged under the Standard Model gauge groups, we show that here is a model-independent upper bound on the cross section $σ(pp\to S\to γγ)$ as a function of the cutoff scale $Λ$ and masses of the fermions and scalars in the loop. Such a bound comes from the fact that the contribution of each particle to the diphoton event amplitude is proportional to its contribution to the one-loop $β$ functions of the gauge couplings. We also investigate the perturbativity of running Yukawa couplings in models with fermion loops, and show the upper bounds on $σ(pp\to S\to γγ)$ for explicit models.

description: Purpose: As there are no questionnaires to assess the experience and proficiency of bilingual/multilingual Kannada speakers, this study aimed to adapt and validate the Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire (LEAP-Q) into the Kannada language cross-culturally. Method: A nonrandomized, prospective cross-sectional design with purposive sampling was used in the study. The cross-cultural adaptation was performed using a standard guideline for developing the questionnaire. The Kannada version of the LEAP-Q (KLEAP-Q) was administered to three groups of participants. Group 1 included 200 bilingual participants (first language [L1]-Kannada, second language [L2]-English), Group 2 included 25 participants with good proficiency in Kannada, and Group 3 consisted of 25 participants with Telugu as L1, English as L2, and Kannada as third language. Responses from the participants were further tabulated and subjected to various statistical analyses to assess the psychometric properties of the questionnaire. Results: Results showed a high test–retest reliability for the KLEAP-Q. The factor analysis results yielded eight factors with eigenvalues of more than 1.8 and had a Cronbach’s alpha ranging from .61 to .95, signifying a good internal consistency of the KLEAP-Q. Mann–Whitney U test revealed significant differences between the speakers with good proficiency and speakers with low proficiency in Kannada, indicating a good known groups discriminant validity. Conclusion: As the KLEAP-Q has good reliability and validity, it can be used as a supplementary tool with other objective measures to document the experience and proficiency of Kannada-speaking bilingual individuals.

description: By considering the opportunity of using the surfaces left free by a wind farm structure to install a
complementary PV plant, it is expected to lead to important synergies during the lifetime of the global system.
Furthermore, from the production profile point of view, on a utility scale, the combination of wind and solar photovoltaic
(PV) plants can lead to a more stable and more reliable energy source by taking advantage of the frequent
complementarities of the two plants. Obviously, the mutual interference, due to the co-existence of the two plants, leads
to a possible reduction of the load factor for each plant and these interactions have to be considered at an early stage for
optimizing the combination design. In this paper, it is presented the analysis of the design aspects for the combination of
wind and PV plants to increase their overall technical/economical effectiveness. Finally, with a real project case, it is
shown the effectiveness and the expected promising effects of the described solution.

description: We show that there exists a simple generalization of Kazakov's multicritical one-matrix model, which interpolates between the various multicritical points of the model. The associated multicritical potential takes the form of a power series with a heavy tail, leading to a cut of the potential and its derivative at the real axis, and reduces to a polynomial at Kazakov's multicritical points. From the combinatorial point of view the generalized model allows polygons of arbitrary large degrees (or vertices of arbitrary large degree, when considering the dual graphs), and it is the weight assigned to these large order polygons which brings about the interpolation between the multicritical points in the one-matrix model.

description: The complexity of human behaviour can lead to very unpredictable patterns in social activity and structure. Here we demonstrate the instability of a community network controlled by majority ruling, where an element adopts the most popular opinion of their peers. We modelled a community as a square lattice, and performed sequential time step numerical calculations upon each cell in parallel. Depending on the initial ratio of two opinions, the community can segregate either into separate gangs and cliques, or get dominated by a single opinion. We also note that gangs are separated by neutral or confused groups of individuals, buffering the transition. The behaviors shown by this model can be comfortably applied to many other real life situations, such as neural or ecological networks. The results of this paper have been preliminary published in the Ref. [34].

description: In order to reach high penetration levels of distributed PV electricity generation in the distribution
grids, without overvoltage and other grid related problems, different concepts for peak shavings will have to be
introduced. One possible way to alter the PV electricity generation profile, and at the same time increase the selfconsumption,
is by installing PV panels in alternative orientations to avoid a large peak production at noon. In this
study the qualitative and quantitative effects of PV installations in alternative orientations is investigated. Three
different theoretical neighborhoods with different building orientations are studied at three different PV penetration
levels. The results show that with a low PV system price the highest PV potential is found in neighborhoods where
the building are placed so that the main roof orientations are east-west rather than north-south. The neighborhood
where the buildings are east-west oriented reaches the highest solar fraction and the highest total electricity
production at a given upper limit of the maximum peak power injected to the grid. However, in order for the
neighborhood with east-west oriented houses to be truly favorable, also from an economical perspective, the PV
system prices need to be lower than today and/or the electricity market price needs to be lower during mid day peak
generation hours.

description: Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) is one of the strategies in PV to generate energy at a competitive cost
with traditional sources (grid parity). In CPV systems, where the concentration factor is higher than 500 suns, the
main parameter that drives costs is solar cell efficiency. On the other hand, the need of smaller area PV devices
enhances the use of multi-junction solar cells, based on III-V compound semiconductors, derived from space PV
technology. In the last years, triple junction solar cells have been extensively used in HCPV systems and efficiencies
higher than 40% at cell level and higher than 30% at module level have been extensively reported. To further push up
the conversion efficiencies, one way is the increase of the number of junctions. Aim of this paper is to compare the
electrical performances of three and four junction solar cells under AM1.5 concentrated sunlight.

description: What effect do domestic political and institutional constraints such as veto players have on the success of international sanctions which their countries have been subjected to? Do they facilitate or constrain compliance with them? Although in the literature on sanctions success the role of domestic factors has received extensive attention, a typically public-policy concept such as veto players has remained largely underexplored. The potential of its application to the literature on sanctions was only recently uncovered by sanction scholars who found empirical support for the hypothesis that the larger the size of veto players in a country under sanctions, the higher the probability of compliance. Contrary to their findings, this article theorises a negative causal mechanism whereby a growing divergence in the relevant policy-area preferences of veto players prevents the targeted country from complying with sanctions-related demands. An empirical reassessment of this relationship with George Tsebelis’ original policy-area-specific veto player data confirms this negative effect.

description: To support high data rate urgent or ad hoc communications, we consider mmWave UAV cellular networks and the associated challenges and solutions. To enable fast beamforming training and tracking, we first investigate a hierarchical structure of beamforming codebooks and design of hierarchical codebooks with different beam widths via the sub-array techniques. We next examine the Doppler effect as a result of UAV movement and find that the Doppler effect may not be catastrophic when high gain directional transmission is used. We further explore the use of millimeter wave spatial division multiple access and demonstrate its clear advantage in improving the cellular network capacity. We also explore different ways of dealing with signal blockage and point out that possible adaptive UAV cruising algorithms would be necessary to counteract signal blockage. Finally, we identify a close relationship between UAV positioning and directional millimeter wave user discovery, where update of the former may directly impact the latter and vice versa.

Terrestrial Concentrator Systems

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 583-586
description: Results obtained for the bifacial low concentrator Ag free Cz silicon solar cells based on Indium-Tin-
Oxide(ITO)/(p+nn+)Cz-Si/Indium-Fluorine-Oxide (IFO) structure are presented in this work. The (p+nn+)Cz-Si
structure was produced by diffusion of boron and phosphorus from deposited B- and P-containing glasses followed
by an etch-back step. The n+ surface of the structures was textured, whereas the p+ surface remained planar.
Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) films, which act as passivating and antireflection electrodes, were deposited by
ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method on both sides. The contact pattern of copper wire was attached by the lowtemperature
(160°C) lamination method simultaneously to the front and rear TCO layers as well as to the
interconnecting ribbons arranged outside the structure. The shadowing from the contacts is in the range of ~4%. The
resulting solar cells showed front/rear efficiencies of 17.3–17.7%/18.1–18.5% at 1–5 suns. Even at 1 sun rear
illumination and 20–50% 1-sun front illumination, such a cell will generate energy approaching that produced by a
monofacial solar cell of 21.6-26.8% efficiency.

description: The advancement of scientific knowledge has traditionally relied on the foundation provided by earlier work, epitomized by the phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants." In the context of our modern digital landscape, this principle translates into the enrichment and utilization of an evidence knowledge graph through the application of persistent identifiers. These identifiers are crucial for citing existing data and generating new, open digital objects that are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). A prime example of such identifiers is taxonomic names, which originated with Linnaeus's Latin Binomen in 1753. These names have long served to organize biodiversity data, but today they are transformed into persistent, machine-actionable identifiers that denote specific taxonomic concepts and their treatments.

However, many of these identifiers remain confined within traditional publications. This presentation outlines how these can be emancipated and enhanced semantically to align with FAIR principles. This involves linking each identification of an occurrence, gene sequence, or observation with a corresponding taxonomic concept identifier.

Significant advancements in this field have been facilitated by infrastructural developments under the EU-funded BiCIKL project and the Arcadia Fund. These include enhancements to the Catalogue of Life and GBIF ChecklistBank infrastructure for accessing taxonomic concepts, TreatmentBank for extracting data from publications, the Biodiversity Literature Repository at Zenodo for securing long-term access to FAIR treatments and figures, and the BiodiversityPMC which utilizes AI tools to further annotate and analyse a defined corpus of scientific literature.

This lecture will introduce the newly developed tools that enable the creation and annotation of publication corpora in Zenodo, alongside Data Future’s tools for annotating individual articles. Attendees will gain insights into accessing these data, identifying taxonomic concepts, and contributing to the corpus by enhancing taxonomic concepts and treatments that have not yet been made FAIR.

description: This interactive lightning round presentation allowed participants to experience my Pirate-themed library instruction classes during which I dressed in a full Pirate costume as part of my Informational-Treasure Scavenger Hunt concept. This presentation demonstrated my most
successful active learning exercises. My “creativity” stems from my belief that a didactic approach to teaching library skills has proven to be dreadfully dull and thus ineffective. My solution to combat boredom is to incorporate educational games with predetermined learning
objectives. I included activities that received the best feedback from student and professor evaluations when I taught a Chemistry Research Skills class for academic credit for sophomore chemistry majors. My exercises were published in a peer-reviewed journal that has been
downloaded more than 3,022 times, titled “Games for Teaching Information Literacy Skills.” My classes were in high demand because I not only incorporate the latest brain-based theories in my class design, but I also taught class dressed in a full pirate costume. My “PirateTeacher” article has been cited by other peer-reviewed journals since it was published in the Journal of Academic Librarianship. I showed images of my pirate costume and students’ favorite activities during my presentation. I also showed my “Citation Cop” RefWorks YouTube video that has been viewed more than 8,900 times by people in different countries and RefWorks actually used my video in their training. My proven effective and creative examples offer something for everyone. More are available in my recently published book, Cybrarian Extraordinaire: Compelling Information

Continuity properties of the semi-group and its integral kernel in non-relativistic QED

description: Employing recent results on stochastic differential equations associated with the standard model of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics by B. Güneysu, J.S. Møller, and the present author, we study the continuity of the corresponding semi-group between weighted vector-valued L^p-spaces, continuity properties of elements in the range of the semi-group, and the pointwise continuity of an operator-valued semi-group kernel. We further discuss the continuous dependence of the semi-group and its integral kernel on model parameters. All these results are obtained for Kato decomposable electrostatic potentials and the actual assumptions on the model are general enough to cover the Nelson model as well. As a corollary we obtain some new pointwise exponential decay and continuity results on elements of low-energetic spectral subspaces of atoms or molecules that also take spin into account. In a simpler situation where spin is neglected we explain how to verify the joint continuity of positive ground state eigenvectors with respect to spatial coordinates and model parameters. There are no smallness assumptions imposed on any model parameter.

description: Optical measurement methods are becoming increasingly important for high-precision production of components and quality assurance. The increasing demand can be met by modern imaging systems with advanced optics, such as light field cameras. This work explores their use in the deflectometric measurement of specular surfaces. It presents improvements in phase unwrapping and calibration techniques, enabling high surface reconstruction accuracies using only a single monocular light field camera.

description: Elevated operating temperatures of photovoltaic (PV) systems affect the efficiency of the devices.
Phase Change Material (PCM) is a thermal energy storage material which can be integrated with PV to regulate the
temperature of the system, particularly for building integrated PV. This paper presents the design, installation and
preliminary results of a Photovoltaic/ Phase Change Material system. An investigation into a PV system with and
without thermal energy storage material is analysed and compared. Primarily, the PCM is applied to regulate the
temperature of the PV with the added advantage of using the stored energy to pre-heat water.

description: To compare the intracranial pressure (ICP) and the translaminar pressure difference (TLPD) between primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients and non-glaucoma subjects and to assess the correlation between the ICP (and TLPD) and glaucoma severity. This was a cross-sectional study. Patients with POAG and age-matched controls were included. ICP was calculated using proxy algorithm to attain indirect surrogate parameter values. Differences were compared between groups. The correlation between ICP (and TLPD) and both structural and functional variables was evaluated using linear and non-linear regression analysis and estimated with Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Fifty patients with POAG and 25 normal controls were included. The mean estimated ICP was lower in POAG (10.9 ± 3.2 mmHg) as compared to controls (15.0 ± 3.7 mmHg, p p = 0.002). ICP displayed a negative correlation with cup-to-disk ratio (r = −0.566; 95% CI, −0.699 to −0.369, p’0.000) and a positive correlation with retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (r = 0.441; 95% CI, 0.230 to 0.612; p’0.000). There was a positive correlation between ICP and mean deviation (r = 0.280; 95% CI, 0.05 to 0.482, p = 0.017). Glaucoma patients presented lower ICP values; lower ICP values were associated with more advanced disease. These observations strengthen the role of ICP as a potential player on the glaucoma pathogeny.

description: An on-axis injection scheme using a double-frequency RF system in a storage ring with small dynamic aperture is proposed. By altering RF voltages, empty RF buckets can be created which will be used for on-axis injection. After bunches are injected, a reverse RF voltage altering process is performed and the injected bunches can be longitudinally dumped to the main RF buckets. The scheme allows reaping the advantages of the on-axis injection while still performing accumulation.

PV Applications without a Centralised Grid

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4475-4476
description: The off-grid applications have enjoyed a long history of steady growth and are by-in-large unaffected
by the basic unreliability of incentives. Further, for off grid applications grid parity does not drive acceptability, nor,
as many off grid populations will not in the near future or ever have grid access, is it a goal. It is in the best interest
of industrialized nations to encourage economic growth (in many cases viability) for off-grid populations by fast
tracking the business models necessary for successful deployment. In fact, the business models that prove successful
towards deploying photovoltaic technologies in the developing world can serve as models for grid connected
deployment as the industry enters a low incentive environment. Globally, for energy independence including grid
stability it is imperative that the industrialized nations consider integrating off-grid installations, such as micro-grids.
