description: Summary: The status and classification of the Besermyan language, spoken by the northwest Udmurt Republic’s Cheptsa River residents, demand further investigation. The literature presents conflicting views, referring to it as a dialect or subdialect of Udmurt or a distinct language. The origin of Besermyan also sparks debate. While most contemporary linguists view it as a Udmurt dialect, others, like Y. Wichmann, suggest that the Besermyans are Tatars who assimilated into Udmurt culture.

Studies examining the lexical and phonetic distinctions between contemporary Besermyan dialects and literary Udmurt, as well as other Udmurt dialects, have revealed that the core vocabulary of Besermyan is remarkably similar to literary Udmurt (94% of words from the 100-word Swadesh list coincide with each other). However, significant phonetic variations have been identified between Besermyan dictionaries and the audio dictionaries of Udmurt dialects.

To comprehend what constitutes innovation—whether it’s the similarity in vocabulary or the differences in phonetics—this article will first examine the earliest Besermyan dictionaries, compiled in the 19th century, from the viewpoint of their graphics and lexical variations compared to dictionaries and concordances of other dialects created during the same era. Subsequently, the morphological dictionaries of Besermyan and other contemporary Udmurt dialects, as well as the literary language, will be analyzed, as morphology is thought to most accurately capture archaic similarities and differences.

The graphical analysis of the earliest Besermyan dictionaries shows that in the 19th century, Besermyan was even closer to the northern and central Udmurt dialects than to the southern ones. A comparison of morphological affixes has also confirmed this conclusion. The innovative phonetic features of modern Besermyan dialects likely emerged over the last 150 years due to contact influences and cannot be used as a basis for the genetic classification of Besermyan.

description: Social Media is a cyber-security risk for every business. What do people share on the Internet? Almost everything about oneself is shared: friendship, demographics, family, activities, and work-related information. This could become a potential risk in every business if the organization's policies, training and technology fail to properly address these issues. In many cases, it is the employees' behaviour that can put key company information at danger. Social media has turned into a reconnaissance tool for malicious actors and users accounts are now seen as a goldmine for cyber criminals. Investigation of Social Media is in the embryonic stage and thus, is not yet well understood. This research project aims to collect and analyse open-source data from LinkedIn, discover data leakage and analyse personality types through software as a service (SAAS). The final aim of the study is to understand if there are behavioral factors that can predicting one's attitude toward disclosing sensitive data.

description: We use galaxy groups selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) together with mass models for individual groups to study the galaxy-galaxy lensing signals expected from galaxies of different luminosities and morphological types. We compare our model predictions with the observational results obtained from the SDSS by Mandelbaum et al. (2006) for the same samples of galaxies. The observational results are well reproduced in a $Λ$CDM model based on the WMAP 3-year data, but a $Λ$CDM model with higher $σ_8$, such as the one based on the WMAP 1-year data,significantly over-predicts the galaxy-galaxy lensing signal. We model, separately, the contributions to the galaxy-galaxy lensing signals from different galaxies: central versus satellite, early-type versus late-type, and galaxies in halos of different masses. We also examine how the predicted galaxy-galaxy lensing signal depends on the shape, density profile, and the location of the central galaxy with respect to its host halo.

Silicon Solar Cell Improvements

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1867-1869
description: Boron or phosphorous doped silicon oxide deposited by PECVD from TetraEthylOrthoSilicate (TEOS,
Si(OC2H4)4) and O2 is a promising candidate to be used as a dopant source in silicon solar cells. We present a novel process
which allows tuning the sheet resistance over a wide range. In particular, a stack of two layers are deposited by PECVD. The
first layer consists of a doped TEOS layer while the second is formed by intrinsic TEOS. A variation of the sheet resistance
as a function of the intrinsic TEOS thickness is observed. We found a correlation between the thickness of the layer, the
stress and the sheet resistance such that the thicker the layer, the higher the sheet resistance. We propose that this behavior is
due to stress induced by the intrinsic TEOS layer during the PECVD process.

description: We investigate the population of z=3 damped Lyman alpha absorbers (DLAs) in a recent series of high resolution galaxy formation simulations. The simulations are of interest because they form at z=0 some of the most realistic disk galaxies to date. No free parameters are available in our study: these have been fixed by physical and z=0 observational constraints, and thus our study provides a genuine consistency test. The precise role of DLAs in galaxy formation remains in debate, but they provide a number of strong constraints on the nature of our simulated bound systems at z=3 because of their coupled information on neutral H I densities, kinematics, metallicity and estimates of star formation activity. Our results, without any parameter-tuning, closely match the observed incidence rate and column density distributions of DLAs. Our simulations are the first to reproduce the distribution of metallicities (with a median of Z_{DLA} = Z_{solar}/20) without invoking observationally unsupported mechanisms such as dust biasing. This is especially encouraging given that these simulations have previously been shown to have a realistic 0

Characterization and Use of Single-Atom Alloys for Selective Dehydrogenation and Hydrogenation Reactions
Creators: name: Molina, David L
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Understanding the interaction between metal atoms is crucial for understanding the properties of heterogeneous catalysts and their activity towards selective reactions. Recently, it has been hypothesized that single atom alloys (SAA), single isolated atoms of active metals alloyed into a less active metal matrix, could be capable of driving the same reactions as their bimetallic and monometallic counterparts. The work presented here aims to understand the surface chemistry and properties of these SAAs through the use of model systems that have been prepared, characterized and tested under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions using surface sensitive techniques, including reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) and temperature programmed desorption (TPD). Specifically, the influence of single Pd atoms towards the selective hydrogenation of acetylene in a Pd/Ag(111) SAA have been explored. CO has been used as a molecular probe and its RAIR and TPD spectra have been used to characterize Pt/Cu(111) bimetallic surfaces and a Pt/Cu(111) SAA. The dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde has also been studied on several Pt/Cu(111) bimetallic surfaces.

description: We determine the cumulative spectral energy distribution (SED) of local AGN in the 3-300 keV band and compare it with the spectrum of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB) in order to test the widely accepted paradigm that the CXB is a superposition of AGN and to place constraints on AGN evolution. We performed a stacking analysis of the hard X-ray spectra of AGN detected in two recent all-sky surveys, performed by the IBIS/ISGRI instrument aboard INTEGRAL and by the PCA instrument aboard RXTE, taking into account the space densities of AGN with different luminosities and absorption column densities. We derived the collective SED of local AGN in the 3-300 keV energy band. Those AGN with luminosities below 10^43.5 erg/s (17-60 keV) provide the main contribution to the local volume hard X-ray emissivity, at least 5 times more than more luminous objects. The cumulative spectrum exhibits (although with marginal significance) a cutoff at energies above 100-200 keV and is consistent with the CXB spectrum if AGN evolve over cosmic time in such a way that the SED of their collective high-energy emission has a constant shape and the relative fraction of obscured AGN remains nearly constant, while the AGN luminosity density undergoes strong evolution between z~1 and z=0, a scenario broadly consistent with results from recent deep X-ray surveys. The first direct comparison between the collective hard X-ray SED of local AGN and the CXB spectrum demonstrates that the popular concept of the CXB being a superposition of AGN is generally correct. By repeating this test using improved AGN statistics from current and future hard X-ray surveys, it should be possible to tighten the constraints on the cosmic history of black hole growth.

description: Thick film systems have played a significant role in improving the performance of crystalline silicon photovoltaics; the contribution of this technology towards improving the performance of the cells has surprised many critics.  Despite the dramatic increase in the cost of some of the base raw materials like silver, the cost of ownership has remained very attractive to sustain the use of thick film using technology innovations. In contrast to other technological solutions, the applications of the thick film process and materials remain relatively simple.  The technology roadmap to enable cells with efficiencies greater than 20 or even 21% will require additional process steps which can be simplified by using screen printed materials. To achieve these levels of performance, the implementation of more complex processes may be inhibited by the total cost of ownership unless there is a significant value opportunity in closing the gap between current industry performance and 21%. In reality, the thick film metallizations for the new technologies will not be adaptions of current designs but new developments.

description: We argue that the magnetically closed corona evolves primarily quasi-statically, punctuated by many localized bursts of activity associated with magnetic reconnection at a myriad of small current sheets. The sheets form by various processes that do not involve a traditional turbulent cascade whereby energy flows losslessly through a continuum of spatial scales starting from the large scale of the photospheric driving. If such an inertial range is a defining characteristic of turbulence, then the magnetically closed corona is not a turbulent system. It nonetheless has a complex structure that bears no direct relationship to the pattern of driving.

description: During the last few years aluminum oxide became an inescapable passivation layer in the Si
photovoltaic field. The keys of its success are its excellent interface with the Si surface and its powerful field effect,
which lead to best passivation quality ever reported on p-type silicon surfaces. Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor
deposition (PECVD) allows the fabrication of high-quality aluminum oxide layers that can be used for the passivation
of p-type silicon surfaces of a wide range of doping levels. In this paper, the properties of PECVD Al2O3 layers are
reviewed, including the passivation of highly and lowly doped p-type surfaces and the suitability of these processes to
industrial solar cell production.

description: Kepler mission is a powerful tool in the study the different types of astrophysical objects or events in the distant Universe. However, the spacecraft gives also the opportunity to study Solar System objects passing in the telescope field of view. The aim of this paper is to determine for the first time the rotation periods of a number of asteroids observed by the Kepler satellite during the K2 Campaign 9. Using publicly available data from Kepler mission we have used the Modified Causal Pixel Model (MCPM) code to perform the aperture-like and PRF-like photometry of 1026 asteroids. The results allowed us to determine the rotation periods for 188 asteroids. For asteroids with rotation periods previously measured, we compared the results and found very good agreement. There are additional 20 asteroids for which we obtained lower limits on rotation periods and in all cases these limits are at least 100 h.

description: Communication over a noisy quantum channel introduces errors in the transmission that must be corrected. A fundamental bound on quantum error correction is the quantum capacity, which quantifies the amount of quantum data that can be protected. We show theoretically that two quantum channels, each with a transmission capacity of zero, can have a nonzero capacity when used together. This unveils a rich structure in the theory of quantum communications, implying that the quantum capacity does not uniquely specify a channel's ability for transmitting quantum information.

description: This work demonstrates substantial increases to the minority carrier lifetimes from approximately 1
microsecond to more than 400 microseconds on CZ ingots and wafers grown from 100% UMG purified silicon. This
is achieved through advanced passivation techniques manipulating hydrogenation, thermal effects and gettering
processes. Before annealing wafers near the bottom of the ingot show very poor lifetimes as expected and hence very
poor PL response due to higher concentrations of defects, dopants and contaminants. Through annealing the PL
response can increase 1000 fold, indicating an approximate 180 mV increase in implied open circuit voltage from 520
mV to 700 mV. Subsequently, wafers from the bottom of the ingot show substantially higher lifetimes than wafers at
the top of the ingot suggesting that the increased concentrations of one or more contaminants is actually assisting
with the passivation methods used, despite the overall higher defect and contaminant concentrations.

description: Radio-frequency (14.6 MHz) AC magnetic susceptibility, $χ^{\prime}_{AC}$, of \dytio\ was measured using a self-oscillating tunnel-diode resonator. Measurements were made with the excitation AC field parallel to the superimposed DC magnetic field up 5 T in a wide temperature range from 50 mK to 100 K. At 14.6 MHz a known broad peak of $χ^{\prime}_{AC}(T)$ from kHz - range audio-frequency measurements around 15~K for both [111] and [110] directions shifts to 45~K, continuing the Arrhenius activated behavior with the same activation energy barrier of $E_a \approx 230$~K. Magnetic field dependence of $χ^{\prime}_{AC}$ along [111] reproduces previously reported low-temperature two-in-two-out to three-in-one-out spin configuration transition at about 1~T, and an intermediate phase between 1 and 1.5~T. The boundaries of the intermediate phase show reasonable overlap with the literature data and connect at a critical endpoint of the first-order transition line, suggesting that these low-temperature features are frequency independent. An unusual upturn of magnetic susceptibility at $T \to 0$ was observed in magnetic fields between 1.5~T and 2~T for both magnetic field directions, before fully polarized configuration sets in above 2~T.

description: The study of electron transport through single molecules is essential to the development of molecular electronics. Indeed, trends in electronic conductance through organic nanowires have emerged with the increasing reliability of electron transport measurements at the single-molecule level. Experimental and theoretical work has shown that tunneling distance, HOMO-LUMO gap and molecular conformation influence electron transport in both saturated and pi-conjugated nanowires. However, there is relatively little experimental data on electron transport through fused aromatic rings. Here we show using diaminoacenes that conductivity depends not only on the number of fused aromatic rings in the molecule, which defines the molecular HOMO-LUMO gap, but also on the position of the amino groups on the rings. Specifically, we find that conductance is highest with minimal disruption of aromaticity in fused aromatic nanowires.

description: This dissertation examines the intersection of labor market and health inequities by race and gender in the United States in three chapters. In the first chapter, I use panel data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to evaluate the impact of eldercare needs on potential caregivers' labor supply and health outcomes. Using an event-study specification, I find that eldercare needs lead to a persistent decline in labor supply and an increase in depression levels among potential caregivers. I show that access to state-level paid leave may mitigate the effects of eldercare needs on one's labor supply and depression levels for spousal potential caregivers, but not for parental potential caregivers. In addition, I find suggestive evidence that access to paid leave may be especially beneficial for potential caregivers of color and those with less education.The second chapter proposes a theoretical framework to evaluate the interplay of gender norms, the gender wage gap, and the paid care market's specific characteristics. The study shows how declines in the gender wage gap may have small effects on the division of eldercare work in the presence of persistent gender norms. The study also suggests that market power dynamics, in conjunction with gender norms, might perpetuate reliance on the female provision of unpaid care. We draw out implications from the model that emphasizes the importance of policies that promote gender-egalitarian household division of labor and affordable access to quality long-term care.The third chapter explores the pathways of racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes in the United States, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. The study reveals that non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic individuals are most likely to report poor health, and these disparities root from individual socioeconomic characteristics as well as environmental factors and access to healthcare. We find suggestive evidence that reducing levels of air pollution and land contamination in majority-Black neighborhoods and increasing access to quality hospitals and preventative services for both Black and Hispanic neighborhoods can help to reduce structural health disparities.In summary, the three essays of this dissertation highlight the complex and interconnected nature of the labor market and health inequities by race and gender in the United States. The findings suggest that policies such as state-level paid family leave and reducing exposure to harmful environmental conditions could mitigate the effects of eldercare needs and racial disparities in health outcomes. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need for policies that promote gender equality in the household division of labor and the paid care market.

present in the PV modules which were not visible by IR Thermography or visual inspection. The results obtained
show clearly that the electroluminescence test detects any defects in the cells of the modules unlike thermography test
that only detects some flaws. However, electroluminescence imaging should not substitute the IR thermography
imaging in the quality control of PV modules due to EL-test is not appropriate to detect hot spots in soldering and

description: No tailored model incorporating physical frailty for 2-year mortality in cirrhosis is available for practitioners in general practice. Thus we aimed to develop a model based on laboratory results and physical frailty allowing clinicians for stratifying cirrhotics by using individual estimate. One hundred and thirteen cases were assigned to the primary cohort, and all other 76 patients were regarded as the validation cohort. Multivariate Cox regression was performed, and a nomogram including five-meter gait speed (5MGS) were generated. The performance of the proposed model was assessed by C-index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). On multivariate analysis, the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Sodium, albumin and 5MGS were independent predictors for 2-year mortality in cirrhosis. A nomogram incorporating all these parameters achieved a C-index of 0.804 (95%CI, 0.731–0.877). The calibration curve implied optimal correspondence between the predicted survival and actual outcomes. Our model is useful in the clinical settings based on DCA. Similar results were observed in the validation cohort with a C-index of 0.796 (95%CI, 0.689–0.899). Moreover, 5MGS, as a surrogate of physical performance, significantly correlated with multiple domains of general frailty according to Frailty Index (our published data), including instrumental activities of daily living, self-reported health, social activity and falls. In conclusion, the nomogram incorporating 5MGS may represent an individualized tool for predicting mortality in cirrhosis for primary care physicians.

description: Dense cores are the final place where turbulence is dissipated. It has been proposed from theoretical arguments that the non-thermal velocity dispersion should be narrower both for molecular ions (compared to neutrals) and for transitions with higher critical densities. To test these hypotheses, we compare the velocity dispersion of N$_2$H$^+$ (1--0) (n$_{\rm crit}$ = $6\times10^4$ cm$^{-3}) and NH$_3$ (n$_{\rm crit}=2\times10^3$ cm$^{-3}), in the dense core Barnard 5. We analyse well resolved and high signal-to-noise observations of NH$_3$ (1,1) and (2,2) obtained with combining GBT and VLA data, and N$_2$H$^+$ (1--0) obtained with GBT Argus, which present a similar morphology. % Surprisingly, the non-thermal velocity dispersion of the ion is systematically higher than that of the neutral by 20\%. The derived sonic Mach number, $\mathcal{M}_s = σ_{\rm NT}/c_s$, has peak values $\mathcal{M}_{s, {\rm N_2H^+}} = 0.59$ and $\mathcal{M}_{s, {\rm NH}_3} = 0.48$ for N$_2$H$^+$ and NH$_3$, respectively. % This observed difference may indicate that the magnetic field even deep within the dense core is still oscillating, as it is in the turbulent region outside the core. The ions should be more strongly dynamically coupled to this oscillating field than the neutrals, thus accounting for their broader linewidth. If corroborated by further observations, this finding would shed additional light on the transition to quiescence in dense cores.

description: This dissertation examines the intersection of labor market and health inequities by race and gender in the United States in three chapters. In the first chapter, I use panel data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to evaluate the impact of eldercare needs on potential caregivers' labor supply and health outcomes. Using an event-study specification, I find that eldercare needs lead to a persistent decline in labor supply and an increase in depression levels among potential caregivers. I show that access to state-level paid leave may mitigate the effects of eldercare needs on one's labor supply and depression levels for spousal potential caregivers, but not for parental potential caregivers. In addition, I find suggestive evidence that access to paid leave may be especially beneficial for potential caregivers of color and those with less education.The second chapter proposes a theoretical framework to evaluate the interplay of gender norms, the gender wage gap, and the paid care market's specific characteristics. The study shows how declines in the gender wage gap may have small effects on the division of eldercare work in the presence of persistent gender norms. The study also suggests that market power dynamics, in conjunction with gender norms, might perpetuate reliance on the female provision of unpaid care. We draw out implications from the model that emphasizes the importance of policies that promote gender-egalitarian household division of labor and affordable access to quality long-term care.The third chapter explores the pathways of racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes in the United States, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. The study reveals that non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic individuals are most likely to report poor health, and these disparities root from individual socioeconomic characteristics as well as environmental factors and access to healthcare. We find suggestive evidence that reducing levels of air pollution and land contamination in majority-Black neighborhoods and increasing access to quality hospitals and preventative services for both Black and Hispanic neighborhoods can help to reduce structural health disparities.In summary, the three essays of this dissertation highlight the complex and interconnected nature of the labor market and health inequities by race and gender in the United States. The findings suggest that policies such as state-level paid family leave and reducing exposure to harmful environmental conditions could mitigate the effects of eldercare needs and racial disparities in health outcomes. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need for policies that promote gender equality in the household division of labor and the paid care market.

description: Optimization of the Front Surface Field (FSF) for IBC cells is important for passivation, lowering series
resistance and reducing UV light degradation. This work presents results for optimizing the FSF diffusion from an industrial
perspective, focusing on optimizing the process flow to achieve excellent FSF performance, whilst at the same time reducing
the number of process steps. The ideal FSF profile is a compromise since a lightly doped deep diffusion reduces recombination
losses close the cell surface where the light is captured, whilst increased doping reduces series resistance. This work
investigates diffusing the FSF (1) at the beginning, (2) in the middle and (3) towards the end of the IBC process flow. The
advantage of the first option is that the diffusion depth can be increased by subsequent thermal steps. However a diffusion
barrier is required to protect the FSF throughout the subsequent processing, which increases the number of process steps and
results in increased costs. By placing the FSF diffusion later in the process flow it is possible to simplify the process reducing
the number of steps. Experimental results show excellent FSF diffusion passivation performance over 156mm, with lifetime
values of over 500 μs. Simulations confirm that high current generation can be achieved with a short circuit current of around
39 mA cm^-2.

Relationships between the structure of intellect and characteristics of students identified as gifted and selected for special programming
Creators: name: Laine, Colin J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Fundamental assumptions concerning the cognitive characteristics of gifted students in special education were presented. Prerequisites for operationalising them were extrapolated. The importance of clear parallels between identification and programming in gifted education, and of the role of informal and formal indicators was discussed. Guilford's Structure of Intellect model (1967) was examined in relation to the identification of cognitive ability. Achievement, measured by the Canadian Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS), and aptitude, as measured by the Structure of Intellect (SOI) Learning Abilities Test, identified differences between students who had been nominated to participate in an enrichment program. There were some who were also identified by the resource teachers as being gifted. Subjects were 100 students from grades three, five and, eight previously nominated for the program. Sixty were selected to participate in the program, and nineteen were identified as being gifted. The groups were age and gender balanced. The students were given the CTBS as part of the district's annual testing program. The SOI was given at the start of the enrichment program, at the end of the twelve-week program and at the end of the academic year. Analysis of variance and multiple regression analyses suggested significant relationships existed between various dimensions of achievement and aptitude, and that the treatment group differed significantly from the control group in aptitude. The gifted differed from the non-gifted in achievement (CTBS). Transformational ability on the SOI distinguished giftedness which supported Guilford's hypothesis of gifted ability. Teacher ratings of the objectives of the enrichment program were not predicted by either aptitude or achievement scores. Repeated measures ANOVA indicated that lower-level abilities were enhanced the most in the treatment group. Age contributed significantly to aptitude dimensions indicating non-school, or developmental factors were intertwined in the relationships. Findings were discussed and implications for subsequent research with the SOI in examining cognitive style in learning, and for both instruments use in special education identification programs were drawn.

description: The choice of materials and components used in the manufacture of photovoltaic modules can affect their
safety, performance, durability and reliability. The materials and design of the components used to produce a
photovoltaic module play a critical role in protecting the module from the outdoor environment. Material performance
properties are described and their impact on photovoltaic module performance and reliability are discussed. These
critical properties include the mechanical, optical, electrical, thermal characteristics and the durability of these properties
under relevant accelerated exposure conditions. Results of accelerated exposure on materials and modules are presented.
Accelerated test conditions to establish material durability and the relationship of these accelerated conditions to both the
outdoor environment and cumulative degradation over the expected module lifetime are discussed. The measurement and
characterization of materials and modules removed from the service environment will be discussed. A review of the
characterization strategies that have been found useful for module and subsequent materials evaluation will also be
presented.

description: Following recent works on corner charges we investigate the boundary structure in the case of the theory of gravity formulated as a constrained BF theory. This allows us not only to introduce the cosmological constant, but also explore the influence of the topological terms present in the action of this theory. Established formulas for charges resemble previously obtained ones, but we show that they are affected by the presence of the cosmological constant and topological terms. As an example we discuss the charges in the case of the AdS--Schwarzschild solution and we find that the charges give correct values.

description: In the continuous Czochralski (CCz) process, a flat and large crucible diameter is often suggested as a
reference design. Shallow melt condition is considered to reduce melt turbulence. Meanwhile, the effect of crucible
diameter in the growth conditions has not been investigated. In this work, turbulence phenomena, flow pattern and
the crystal/melt interface deflection are analyzed by means of numerical simulations for several crucible diameters.
The use of double crucible to prevent the transport of the added silicon to the solidification interface is also analyzed.
According to simulation results, the use of large and double crucible is recommended in a CCz setup.

description: The global power supply stability is faced to several severe and fundamental threats, like degrading fossil energy
resources and a misbalanced ecological footprint. Photovoltaic (PV) power systems are analysed focusing on
economic and technical considerations of supplemental and substitutional power supply. Main drivers for cost
reductions in PV systems are learning and production growth rate, thus experience curve concept and levelized cost
of electricity (LCOE) are used as a key technique for economic projections for the decade of the 2010s. Key success
criteria for hybrid PV power plants are discussed and comprehensively analysed for all adequate power plant
technologies, i.e. oil, gas and coal fired power plants, wind power, solar thermal power (STEG) and hydro power
plants. For the 2010s, detailed global demand curves are derived for hybrid PV-Fossil power plants. The economic
potentials for hybrid PV-STEG, hybrid PV-Wind and hybrid PV-Hydro power plants are considered. The global
resource availability for PV and wind power plants is excellent and the complementary characteristic of hybrid PVWind
power plants on a local basis is identified. The final target of implementing renewable power technologies into
the global power system is a nearly 100% renewable power supply. Besides balancing facilities, storage options are
needed, in particular for seasonal power storage. Renewable power methane (RPM) offers respective options. An
analysis is performed for a hybrid PV-Wind-RPM combined cycle gas turbine power system. Such a power system
design might be very competitive. Summing up, hybrid PV power plants become very attractive and PV power
systems will very likely evolve together with wind power to the major and final source of energy for mankind.
Robust creation of arbitrary-sized Dicke states using a single laser pulse

description: We propose a novel technique for the creation of maximally entangled symmetric Dicke states in an ion trap using adiabatic passage, which requires only a pair of chirped pulses from a single laser and is applicable to any number of ions and excitations. By utilising a particular factorisation of the Hilbert space for multi-level ladders we show that the problem can be reduced to `bow-tie' configuration energy-level crossings. This technique is naturally robust against fluctuations in the laser intensity and the chirp rate. Even when realistic heating rates are considered, we estimate that the overall fidelity should remain high (e.g. 98% for a ten-ion Dicke state), which represents a significant improvement over traditional approaches.
