description: How do followers experience shared leadership as a lived experience? Understanding the relationality, processes and practices informing such collaboration. Within shared leadership research culture, the aspiration is to explore “leadership as a dynamic interactive influence process”’ at the group level, supporting goal achievement (Pearce and Conger, 2003, P.1). However, the motivation of much research has focused on performance improvement, whereby discrete leadership variables are examined, using reductionist methods, to determine relevant linkages to team effectiveness (Denis et al., 2012. See also Fairhurst et.al, 2020). In expanding understanding of shared leadership from a follower perspective, enabling a fuller appreciation of how that has been experienced and operationalised over time, an immersive, participatory action research study was conducted, to facilitate a processual view of shared leadership; one that embraces relational aspects of shared leadership and considers its dynamic emergence within a hierarchical leadership setting. Unconventionally, Relational Cultural Theory has been applied to enable a more meaningful and nuanced consideration of this leadership phenomenon (Fletcher, 2012). This expanded consideration of shared leadership has produced four main findings: • The follower “voice” has been meaningfully expressed regarding experiences and actions, occurring throughout such collaboration. • A more processual understanding of the shared leadership undertaking itself, reveals how the cultivation of interdependence enables the dynamic operationalisation of expertise in relational and reciprocal ways. • The shifting nature of power dynamics has been explicated, as well as recognising the degree of interdependence occurring between followers and their leaders. • Learning History methodology was innovatively applied to facilitate a more processual understanding of shared leadership, facilitating new theoretical and practical understanding. This study challenges some of the negative connotations that may surround conceptualisations of followers and followership (Uhl-Bien, 2018), as well as actively elevating and emotionalising their experience, which is uncommon (Reitz, 2014). Finally, this study, through its positive conceptualisation of share leadership effectively challenges the myth of individual achievement that pervades much organisational life (Miller, 2012).

description: Published results on the performance of photovoltaic arrays under partial shading conditions are thoroughly reviewed, for a variety of conventional array interconnections. New results are presented for a wide variety of realistic shading patterns, and for several new hybrid methods of interconnection. The fully cross-tied array is found to give the best performance, and the simple series – parallel array the worst. In the more favourable shading cases, much of the excess loss in available power due to the shading can be recovered by adding the interconnections. An important result is that most of the power recovery can usually be achieved using a hybrid array with fewer interconnections, and hence lower cabling costs, than the fully cross-tied form.

description: We continue to investigate planar four point worldsheet correlators of string theories which are conjectured to be duals of free gauge theories. We focus on the extremal correlators of $N = 4$ SYM theory, and construct the corresponding worldsheet correlators in the limit when the $J_i >> 1$. The worldsheet correlator gets contributions, in this limit, from a whole family of Feynman graphs. We find that it is supported on a {\it curve} in the moduli space parametrised by the worldsheet crossratio. In a further limit of the spacetime correlators we find this curve to be the unit circle. In this case, we also check that the entire worldsheet correlator displays the appropriate crossing symmetry. The non-renormalization of the extremal correlators in the 't Hooft coupling offers a potential window for a comparison of these results with those from strong coupling.

On the likelihood of supernova enrichment of protoplanetary disks

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We estimate the likelihood of direct injection of supernova ejecta into protoplanetary disks using a model in which the number of stars with disks decreases linearly with time, and clusters expand linearly with time such that their surface density is independent of stellar number. The similarity of disk dissipation and main sequence lifetimes implies that the typical supernova progenitor is very massive, ~ 75-100 Msun. Such massive stars are found only in clusters with > 10^4 members. Moreover, there is only a small region around a supernova within which disks can survive the blast yet be enriched to the level observed in the Solar System. These two factors limit the overall likelihood of supernova enrichment of a protoplanetary disk to < 1%. If the presence of short lived radionucleides in meteorites is to be explained in this way, however, the Solar System most likely formed in one of the largest clusters in the Galaxy, more than two orders of magnitude greater than Orion, where multiple supernovae impacted many disks in a short period of time.

description: In this work, we investigate the electrical performance of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cell precursors in terms of minority charge carrier lifetime and implied open-circuit voltage as a function of the different surface passivation layers applied. Here, we applied a plasma-less nanotexturing process by atmospheric pressure dry etching (ADE) that enables low reflectivity, followed by a short anisotropic alkaline etch. It is seen that surface reflection and carrier lifetime both exhibit dependency on surface morphology of nanostructures and such dependency can be affected by variations adapted in surface passivation. It is also seen in our investigation that on the front surface additional surface passivation layer applied by fast atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Al2O3 followed by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of SiNx as standard anti-reflection coating (ARC) shows relatively higher implied open-circuit voltage than implied open-circuit voltage gained by standard ARC layer of PECVD-SiNx.

description: The VVDS-Wide survey has been designed with the general aim of tracing the large-scale distribution of galaxies at z~1 on comoving scales reaching ~100Mpc/h, while providing a good control of cosmic variance over areas as large as a few square degrees. This is achieved by measuring redshifts with VIMOS at the ESO VLT to a limiting magnitude I_AB=22.5, targeting four independent fields with size up to 4 sq.deg. each. The whole survey covers 8.6 sq.deg., here we present the general properties of the current redshift sample. This includes 32734 spectra in the four regions (19977 galaxies, 304 type I AGNs, and 9913 stars), covering a total area of 6.1 sq.deg, with a sampling rate of 22 to 24%. The redshift success rate is above 90% independently of magnitude. It is the currently largest area coverage among redshift surveys reaching z~1. We give the mean N(z) distribution averaged over 6.1 sq.deg. Comparing galaxy densities from the four fields shows that in a redshift bin Deltaz=0.1 at z~1 one still has factor-of-two variations over areas as large as ~0.25 sq.deg. This level of cosmic variance agrees with that obtained by integrating the galaxy two-point correlation function estimated from the F22 field alone, and is also in fairly good statistical agreement with that predicted by the Millennium mocks. The variance estimated over the survey fields shows explicitly how clustering results from deep surveys of even ~1 sq.deg. size should be interpreted with caution. This paper accompanies the public release of the first 18143 redshifts of the VVDS-Wide survey from the 4 sq.deg. contiguous area of the F22 field at RA=22h, publicly available at http://cencosw.oamp.fr

description: Partial shadings are a common situation in urban PV systems, especially BIPV systems. With the increasing number of this type of installations, it is important to understand the relation between the shaded area and its corresponding irradiation losses. This research is focused on the application and evaluation of a simplified method for energy losses analysis caused by partial shadings previously presented elsewhere [1, 2], now in a greater number of cases, thus broadening the scope of previous work. The original method was based on computational simulations using the Ecotect® software for two horizontal surfaces in two locations: Florianópolis (27.48°S) and Singapore (1.04°N), comparing in different time basis (hourly, daily, monthly and annually) the shading percentage and the percentage of irradiation reduction. In the present research, a new 3D model was designed, with five surfaces (rooftops) with different tilt angles and azimuthal deviations. The 3D model was simulated using the same software in 10 cities located in different latitudes, covering, therefore, a representative mesh of cases around the world. Results have shown that this method is more useful to quantify irradiation losses caused by shadings on rooftops more ideally oriented because, in these cases, values of annual shading percentage and percentage of incident radiation reduction tend to be coincident. These results simplify future shading losses analysis for similar cases, demonstrating that a simple annual shading analysis would already reflect possible losses in the power generation of a partially shaded PV system. So, this method can be used even before the PV system is electrically designed; instead, it can be used as a first tool to decide where to install BIPV systems and what the energetic consequences of each decision are.

description: We study the spectrum, couplings and cosmological and astrophysical implications of the moduli fields for the class of Calabi-Yau IIB string compactifications for which moduli stabilisation leads to an exponentially large volume V ~ 10^{15} l_s^6 and an intermediate string scale m_s ~ 10^{11}GeV, with TeV-scale observable supersymmetry breaking. All Kähler moduli except for the overall volume are heavier than the susy breaking scale, with m ~ ln(M_P/m_{3/2}) m_{3/2} ~ (\ln(M_P/m_{3/2}))^2 m_{susy} ~ 500 TeV and, contrary to standard expectations, have matter couplings suppressed only by the string scale rather than the Planck scale. These decay to matter early in the history of the universe, with a reheat temperature T ~ 10^7 GeV, and are free from the cosmological moduli problem (CMP). The heavy moduli have a branching ratio to gravitino pairs of 10^{-30} and do not suffer from the gravitino overproduction problem. The overall volume modulus is a distinctive feature of these models and is an M_{planck}-coupled scalar of mass m ~ 1 MeV and subject to the CMP. A period of thermal inflation can help relax this problem. This field has a lifetime ~ 10^{24}s and can contribute to dark matter. It may be detected through its decays to 2γor e^+e^-. If accessible the e^+e^- decay mode dominates, with Br(χ\to 2 γ) suppressed by a factor (ln(M_P/m_{3/2}))^2. We consider the potential for detection of this field through different astrophysical sources and find that the observed gamma-ray background constrains Ω_χ

description: Statistical design of experiments is widely used in scientific and industrial investigations. A generalized minimum aberration (GMA) orthogonal array is optimum under the well-established, so-called GMA criterion, and such an array can extract as much information as possible at a fixed cost. Finding GMA arrays is an open (yet fundamental) problem in design of experiments because constructing such arrays becomes intractable as the number of runs and factors increase. We develop two directed enumeration algorithms that call the integer programming with isomorphism pruning algorithm of Margot (2007) for the purpose of finding GMA arrays. Our results include 16 GMA arrays that were not previously in the literature, along with documentation of the efficiencies that made the required calculations possible within a reasonable budget of computer time. We also validate heuristic algorithms against a GMA array catalog, by showing that they quickly output near GMA arrays, and then use the heuristics to find near GMA arrays when enumeration is computationally burdensome.

Detoxification of thujaplicins in living western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn.) trees by microorganisms
Creators: name: Jin, Lehong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Thujaplicins are the major components in the steam-volatile fraction of western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn.) (WRC) heartwood extractives. They are consided to be highly toxic to fungi and are chiefly responsible for WRC heartwood decay resistance. This study proves that this traditional concept of toxicity is not completely correct. Thujaplicins are toxic to common decay fungi isolated from decayed WRC wood in living trees or wood in service, such as Poria albipelIucida Baxter. On the other hand, when a fungus such as Sporothrix sp. invades sound heartwood of living WRC, thujaplicins do not provide resistance but instead are altered by that fungus, so that their toxicity to decay fungi is destroyed. Evidence obtained in this study indicates that the mechanism of thujaplicin toxicity to common decay fungi involves the reactive keto-enolic group. As example, thujaplicin toxicity disappears if this reactive group is blocked by laboratory methylation. In living trees detoxification by Sporothrix sp. is demonstrated to involve a process of oxidative dimerization and isomerization of the thujaplicins to a new lactone compound. This compound is proven to have no toxicity to decay fungi, such as Poria albipelIucida Baxter. The dimerization and isomerization destroy the reactivity of the keto-enolic group and thus thujaplicin toxicity. Isolation, purification, and determination of the chemical structure of the new lactone compound produced from thujaplicins during Sporothrix sp. infection was carried out by chemical, chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. This naturally occurring compound has not been isolated previously and there are no previous reports in the literature about a compound with this structure. Following IUPAC rules, the compound is named as 3,3,4,7,7,8-hexamethyl-2,6-dioxa-1,5-anthracene-dione, and given the trivial name 'Thujin'. Biological experiments carried out in this study clearly show that in living WRC trees, fungal attack involves a succession of microorganisms. Three early stage attacking fungi were consistantly isolated from discolored WRC heartwood. They are identified as Sporothrix sp. KirschsteinieIIa thujina (Peck) Pomerleau & Etheridge and Phialophora sp. Biological roles of these fungi are demonstrated based upon the results of wood block bioassays and chemical analysis of wood blocks treated with the three fungal isolates.

description: Within this study, we investigate the impact of boron-oxygen (BO)-related defect centers on the performance of passivated emitter and rear solar cells (PERCs), made of boron-doped Czochralski-grown silicon, taken from mass production lines of seven different manufacturers. Before light-induced degradation (LID), the efficiencies of the PERC cells vary between 18.5% and 20.4%. In all cases, the conversion efficiency decreases upon illumination, however, the degradation extent varies considerably between the different manufacturers ranging from 0.3 to 1.6%abs. A lab-type regeneration treatment at 185°C and 1.5 suns halogen-lamp light intensity is able to reach the same efficiency values as before LID after complete regeneration for all but one cell group, considering the measurement uncertainties. Importantly, our measurements show that after full regeneration the open-circuit voltage of the cells is stable upon prolonged illumination at room temperature, independent of the applied regeneration treatment, which we performed either under lab conditions or in the c.REG regeneration furnace from centrotherm. This underlines the successful deactivation of the BO defect. Finally, on PERC cells of a single manufacturer, we study the dependence of regeneration rate constant Rde on the applied illumination intensity during regeneration. We observe that at high intensities, the regeneration rate constant seems to saturate. Hence, we conclude that very high light intensities (above ~5 suns) are not necessary or beneficial to achieve a fast regeneration.

description: Spectroscopy of transiting exoplanets can be used to investigate their atmospheric properties and habitability. Combining radial velocity (RV) and transit data provides additional information on exoplanet physical properties. We detect a transiting rocky planet with an orbital period of 1.467 days around the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 486. The planet Gliese 486 b is 2.81 Earth masses and 1.31 Earth radii, with uncertainties of 5%, as determined from RV data and photometric light curves. The host star is at a distance of ~8.1 parsecs, has a J-band magnitude of ~7.2, and is observable from both hemispheres of Earth. On the basis of these properties and the planet's short orbital period and high equilibrium temperature, we show that this terrestrial planet is suitable for emission and transit spectroscopy.

description: In the shingling module fabrication process, the conventional interconnection by tabbing processes are replaced several additional steps such as laser scribing, Electrically Conductive Adhesives(ECA) printing, mechanical cell cutting, Shingled String Assembler(SSA) and curing process. All the shingling processes, laser sciring process is the most important step to fabricate high quality shingled modules. Separation of a solar cell into strip-like is performed by laser scribing and subsequent mechanical breaking process. The first step of separating a solar cell is to form a intended crack at the setting position on the solar cell by using a diode-pumped laser, and then scribed solar cell is separated as several pieces by mechanical force. In this process, new edge of separated solar cell tends to be induced electrical losses such as shunting and recombination. In addition, incompletely separated strips can cause micro-cracks during mechanical breaking process, which can increase defect rate and decrease the string efficiency. In this work, laser scribing optimization with laser parameter variable was performed to minimize defect rate and power loss in shingling process. Variation of laser power, speed and number of scribing parameters have been carefully selected and scribed to minimize the damage to the solar cell at the backside. The I-V analysis of full-cells before and after scribing was performed according to laser parameter variation. The depth, kerf width and heat affected zone were analyzed by optical laser microscope. In conclusion, crucial factors for laser scribing to provide method for reducing solar cell damage by optimizing of laser scribing process was suggested.

Heterojunction Solar Cells

description: 36th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 527-529
description: In this work, we investigated high quality low-cost TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide) suitable for SHJ (Silicon Heterojunction) solar cell. Lightly doped IWO (W-doped In2O3) is better than heavily doped one. 10% doped IWO has low transparency and high resistivity. In contrast with that, the Jsc of the SHJ cell using 1% doped IWO is extremely improved than ITO reference, and the cell efficiency was also improved 1%abs higher than ITO one on average. Sputtered SCOT also revealed its high potential to improve Jsc, significantly. In the both case of lightly doped IWO and SCOT, Jsc is increased by the improvement of infrared response. This is thought to be due to the suppression of free carrier absorption.

description: The growth rates of GaAs and InGaP in our MOVPE reactor have been boosted to 120 and 30 µm/h, respectively, which are limited by the capabilities of source supply. The study revealed that surface morphologies of InGaP strongly depended on the reactor pressure and growth temperature. Owing to this understanding, InGaP solar cells with 1-µm-thick base layer grown at 30 µm/h were successfully fabricated. Meanwhile, the results of GaAs solar cells with 2.5-µm-thick base layer grown at 120 µm/h exhibited lower open-circuit voltage (Voc) and efficiency as compared to the reference GaAs cell grown at 20 µm/h. The explanation was the increase in defects and trap densities that shorten the carrier diffusion length and increase the dark saturation current. Nevertheless, InGaP/GaAs dual junction solar cells with 1-µm-thick InGaP and 2.5-µm-thick GaAs base layers grown at 30 µm/h and 120 µm/h, respectively, were successfully fabricated. The maximum efficiency under 100 mW/cm2 AM1.5G illumination with antireflection coating (ARC) was 22.30%. This achievement encourages high speed MOVPE growth and low-cost production, not only for photovoltaic application but also for other semiconductor devices.

description: This paper gives a close-up insight into the application of alumina (AlOx) films on phosphorus doped (n+) silicon surfaces and device performance. It is shown that AlOx films can effectively passivate n+ surface with a moderate sheet resistance by introduction of thin intermediate thermal oxide layer. High efficiency Cz-PERC solar cells with double-side AlOx films were successfully developed. After optimizing three key aspects of the fabrication process, that is, SiO2 interlayer, emitter depth, and special silver paste with relatively lower peak firing temperature, mass-production efficiency of 22.28% and champion efficiency of 22.67% have been achieved. In addition, a low lightinduced degradation of -0.5% (relative) is got, which probably benefits from the lower firing temperature.

description: It is shown theoretically that a giant magnetoelectric susceptibility exceeding 10^-6 s/m may be achieved in the ferromagnetic/ferroelectric epitaxial systems via the magnetization rotation induced by an electric field applied to the substrate. The predicted magnetoelectric anomaly results from the strain-driven spin-reorientation transitions in ferromagnetic films, which take place at experimentally accessible misfit strains in CoFe2O4 and Ni films.

description: We report on a study of neutron-rich nuclei around doubly magic 132Sn in terms of the shell model employing a realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The short-range repulsion of the bare potential is renormalized by constructing a low-momentum potential, V-low-k, that is used directly as input for the calculation of the effective interaction. We present results for the four nuclei beyond the N=82 shell closure 134Sn, 134Sb, 136Sb, and 136Te. Comparison shows that our results are in very good agreement with the experimental data presently available for these exotic nuclei. We also present our predictions of the hitherto unknown spectrum of 136Sn.

description: We address surface solitons supported by the interface of optical lattices imprinted in saturable media with surface-localized gain. The nonlinearity saturation puts restrictions on the maximal energy flow carried by surface solitons. As a consequence, the presence of thin amplifying layer near the surface results in the controllable emission of solitons towards the lattice at angles depending on the amplification rate and on lattice depth.

description: In this paper we study the structure of a class of categories having two operations which satisfy axioms analoguos to that of rings. Such categories are called "Ann - categories". We obtain the classification theorems for regular Ann - categories and Ann - functors by using Mac Lane - Shukla cohomology of rings.

description: In recent years, increasing deployment of PV installations in desert regions occurred. In these zones, regular dry-cleaning of PV modules is conducted due to soiling which may damage the surface of the modules, especially the typical anti-reflective coatings (ARC) on the glass surface. For evaluating the impact of the cleaning process on the surface of the modules, a new test standard by PI Berlin has been developed, allowing a general assessment of the quality of cleaning devices. The test simulates cleaning over a period of 25 years; sand is applied before every cycle to simulate worst-case real condition. The effect of the cleaning and abrasion of the antireflection coatings is monitored via reflection measurements and check for microscopic scratches. A comparison of the test results performed with sand of different grain size, using different cleaning brushes, on different types of glasses is presented.

description: For process control and quality assurance in the production of silicon wafers, the possibilities of nondestructive and contact-free photoluminescence imaging is explored and further elaborated. The main advantage of photoluminescence spectroscopy is that no special sample preparation is necessary. This enables its use throughout the entire manufacturing process in solar cell production and thus a continuous monitoring of the manufacturing quality. This technique is not only suitable for determining the surface conditions directly after the sawing process, it also enables the detection of residual contaminations (so-called “organic residues”) on the silicon wafers after the cleaning processes.

description: In the present study, we develop a characterization methodology allowing to directly convert standard electroluminescence (EL) images of a given PV module into absolute quantitative performance maps. The experiments and results were obtained based on polycrystalline silicon modules. After acquiring two EL images, we show that by applying the generalized reciprocity relations, it is possible to optically extract key performance indicator maps. We demonstrate the ability to extract an optical I-V characteristics whereby we optically map the current collection efficiency and the series resistance, across the studied polycrystalline modules. The results were finally validated by comparing the mean central values extracted from the optically determined maps with the values extracted from electrical I(V) measurements. Such agreement provides an initial evidence for the potential of the presented methodology to provide fast quantitative screening of PV module performances for industrial applications.

description: We present new imaging and spectroscopic observations of the fields of five QSOs with very strong intervening CaII absorption systems at redshifts z<0.5 selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Recent studies of these very rare absorbers indicate that they may be related to damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs). In all five cases we identify a galaxy at the redshift of the CaII system with impact parameters up to ~24 kpc. In four out of five cases the galaxies are luminous (L ~L*), metal-rich (Z ~Zsun), massive (velocity dispersion, sigma ~100 km/s) spirals. Their star formation rates, deduced from Halpha emission, are high, in the range SFR = 0.3 - 30 Msun/yr. In our analysis, we paid particular attention to correcting the observed emission line fluxes for stellar absorption and dust extinction. We show that these effects are important for a correct SFR estimate; their neglect in previous low-z studies of DLA-selected galaxies has probably led to an underestimate of the star formation activity in at least some DLA hosts. We discuss possible links between CaII-selected galaxies and DLAs and outline future observations which will help clarify the relationship between these different classes of QSO absorbers.

Cognitive differences between high- and low-stress teachers
Creators: name: Lisowski, Jaqueline Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the nature of the influential factors of teacher stress in the special education settings: specifically, some cognitive aspects of the coping process. The importance of the study was summarized in terms of the reported incidence of teacher stress and the need to develop more effective stress intervention and prevention programs. A two-part study was designed to determine the differences in the coping processes of high- and low-stressed teachers in terms of particular cognitive variables. In the first part, high- and low-stressed teachers were differentiated on the basis of the responses of approximately 150 teachers to the Teacher Stress Inventory. In the second part, eleven subjects from each of the low- and high-stressed groups were interviewed. The interviews involved the recollection and report of stressful teaching-related incidents. Teachers were asked to rate each of their incidents in terms of self-evaluation, self-efficacy, outcome evaluation, and incident resolution. As well, they were asked to describe their coping behaviours and to explain what the consequences of the situations meant to them. Statistical and descriptive comparisons were made to determine if there were differences in the responses of the high- and low-stressed teachers. The most significant results of the study were that low-stressed teachers attributed more positive meaning to the consequences of stressful incidents, and that the responses of the low-stressed teachers reflected established philosophies and attitudes. These results have implications for counsellors who are interested in developing intervention and prevention programs and for individuals who conduct teacher-training programs. As well, teachers who feel ineffective at coping with stress are encouraged to seek guidance and to gain awareness of how they contribute to their experience of stress.
