description: Quantitative formulations of Fefferman's counterexample for the ball multiplier are naturally linked to square function estimates for conical and directional multipliers. In this article we develop a novel framework for these square function estimates, based on a directional embedding theorem for Carleson sequences and multi-parameter time-frequency analysis techniques. As applications we prove sharp or quantified bounds for Rubio de Francia type square functions of conical multipliers and of multipliers adapted to rectangles pointing along $N$ directions. A suitable combination of these estimates yields a new and currently best-known logarithmic bound for the Fourier restriction to an $N$-gon, improving on previous results of A. Cordoba. Our directional Carleson embedding extends to the weighted setting, yielding previously unknown weighted estimates for directional maximal functions and singular integrals.

description: Ethylene vinyl-acetate (EVA) encapsulated crystalline silicon PV modules see encapsulant related degradation such as the hydrolysis of EVA which leads to generation of acetic acid that corrodes cells and cell metallisation. The formation and discharge of acetic acid in PV modules during an extended damp-heat test are studied in this work in dependence of the EVA crosslinking degree. To achieve different degrees of EVA encapsulation, mini-modules were laminated under different curing temperatures. The thermos-gravimetric analysis (TGA) is used to estimate the vinyl acetate (VA) content of the EVA before and after damp-heat ageing, from which the formation of acetic acid is evaluated. The net accumulation of acetic acid within modules is correlated to corrosion induced power losses. Results show mini-modules with highly cross-linked EVA form less acetic acid under damp-heat stresses, however, accumulated the highest amount of acetic acid leading to the most severe corrosion. Therefore, highly cross-linked EVA is not favoured in terms of long-term degradation due to DH stresses as it may trap the generated acetic acid within module.

description: Grain boundaries dramatically affect the properties of polycrystalline materials because of differences in atomic configuration. To fully understand the relationship between grain boundaries and materials properties, systematic studies of the grain boundary atomic structure are crucial. However, such studies are limited by the extensive computation necessary to determine the structure of a single grain boundary. If the structure could be predicted with more efficient computation, the understanding of the grain boundary would be accelerated significantly. Here, we predict grain boundary structures and energies using a machine-learning technique. Training data for non-linear regression of four symmetric-tilt grain boundaries of copper were used. The results of the regression analysis were used to predict 12 other grain boundary structures. The method accurately predicts both the structures and energies of grain boundaries. The method presented in this study is very general and can be utilized in understanding many complex interfaces.

description: Chromosomal translocations (CTs) are the most common type of structural chromosomal abnormalities in humans. CTs have been reported in several studies in the Arab world, but the frequency and spectrum of these translocations are not well characterized. The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review to estimate the frequency and spectrum of CTs in the 22 Arab countries. Four literature databases were searched: PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science, from the time of inception until July 2021. A combination of broad search terms was used to collect all possible CTs reported in the Arab world. In addition to the literature databases, all captured CTs were searched in three chromosomal rearrangement databases (Mitelman Database, CytoD 1.0 Database, and the Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Hematology), along with PubMed and Google Scholar, to check whether the CTs are unique to the Arabs or shared between Arabs and non-Arabs. A total of 9,053 titles and abstracts were screened, of which 168 studies met our inclusion criteria, and 378 CTs were identified in 15 Arab countries, of which 57 CTs were unique to Arab patients. Approximately 89% of the identified CTs involved autosomal chromosomes. Three CTs, t(9;22), t(13;14), and t(14;18), showed the highest frequency, which were associated with hematological malignancies, recurrent pregnancy loss, and follicular lymphoma, respectively. Complex CTs were commonly reported among Arabs, with a total of 44 CTs, of which 12 were unique to Arabs. This is the first study to focus on the spectrum of CTs in the Arab world and compressively map the ethnic-specific CTs relevant to cancer. It seems that there is a distinctive genotype of Arabs with CTs, of which some manifested with unique clinical phenotypes. Although ethnic-specific CTs are highly relevant to disease mechanism, they are understudied and need to be thoroughly addressed.Other Information Published in: Chromosoma

description: Let $Hilb ^{p(t)}(P^n)$ be the Hilbert scheme of closed subschemes of $P^n$ with Hilbert polynomial $p(t) \in Q[t]$, and let $W:= \overline{W(\underline{b};\underline{a};r)}$ be the closure of the locus in $Hilb ^{p(t)}(P^n)$ of determinantal schemes defined by the vanishing of the $(t-r+1)\times (t - r+1)$ minors of some matrix $\mathcal A$ of size $t\times (t+c-1)$ with $ij$-enty a homogeneous form of degree $a_j-b_i$ and with $r$ satisfying $\max\{1,2-c\} \le r < t$. $W$ is an irreducible algebraic set. First of all, we compute an upper $r$-independent bound for the dimension of $W$ in terms of $a_j$ and $b_i$ which is sharp for $r=1$. In the linear case ($a_j = 1, b_i=0$) and cases sufficiently close, we conjecture and to a certain degree prove that this bound is achieved for all $r$. Then, we study to what extent $W$ is a generically smooth component of $Hilb ^{p(t)}(P^n)$. Under some weak numerical assumptions on the integers $a_j$ and $b_i$ (or under some depth conditions) we conjecture and often prove that $W$ is a generically smooth component. Moreover, we also study the depth of the normal module of the homogeneous coordinate ring of $(X)\in W$ and of a closely related module. We conjecture, and in some cases prove, that their codepth is often 1 (resp. $r$). These results extend previous results on standard determinantal schemes to determinantal schemes; i.e. previous results of the authors on $W(\underline{b};\underline{a};1)$ to $W$ with $1\le r < t$ and $c\ge 2-r$. Finally, deformations of exterior powers of the cokernel of the map determined by $\mathcal A$ are studied and proven to be given as deformations of $X \subset P^n$ if $\dim X \ge 3$. The work contains many examples which illustrate the results obtained and a considerable number of open problems; some of them are collected as conjectures in the final section.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The increasing pressure to move towards sustainable development has encouraged many organizations to prioritize sustainable growth, especially the transportation sector since it is one of the highest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions. With the current economic growth, there is an increase demand in freight services. This leads to the need of thorough and proper planning of shipment routes. Optimization of the fleet structure is necessary in order to cope with the growing number of customers. A well planned journey is vital in reducing the transportation cost and risk to the environment. This thesis presents the development of the differential evolution algorithm with local search for solving the capacitated vehicle routing problem. The capacitated vehicle routing problem is a classical vehicle routing problem with additional constraint where the capacity of the vehicle travelling on a specific route cannot exceed the maximum vehicle capacity. Local search techniques help to refine the solutions found. The proposed differential evolution algorithm with local search is tested on capacitated vehicle routing problem instances described by Augerat et al. and Christofides & Eilon. The proposed differential evolution algorithm with local search approach generate quality solutions for the benchmark problems tested and are comparable to the algorithms reported in the literature. The second part of this thesis explores the field of multi-objective optimization problem with green logistics. The differential evolution algorithm with local search is expanded to consider multi-objective problems. Hence, a multi-objective differential evolution algorithm is presented to solve the capacitated vehicle routing problem by minimizing the hazardous risk and greenhouse gas emissions. The proposed algorithm incorporates differential evolution algorithm with Pareto ranking and crowding distance techniques. A series of Pareto Front are provided as the solution to the multi-objective capacitated vehicle routing problem on capacitated vehicle routing problem instances described by Augerat et al. The decision-maker can then consider the trade-off and choose from the set of optimal solutions in the Pareto Front. Computational results found proved the viability of the multi-objective differential evolution algorithm to solve the multi-objective problem with a certain trade-off to achieve an efficient and feasible route.

description: Economic recycling of photovoltaic modules presumes the separation of small amounts of precious materials from large volume, less valuable materials like glass in a cost-effective way. This suggests the delamination of a module into its basic components at an early stage of the recycling process. After removal of the junction box by mechanical means we propose a process that compartmentalizes the whole module in less than one second by a high-intensity and low-energy light source. Thermal simulations in this paper support experimental results for thin-film as well as wafer-based modules.
Numerical modelling of soil CO2 dynamics and soil respiration

description: The global carbon cycle and its impacts on climate is a major worldwide concern. Soil respiration, i.e., the ux of CO2 from the soil surface into the atmosphere, is one of the greatest contributors to this cycle, thereby making studies of soil respiration crucial to better manage and mitigate atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Although processes driving soil CO2 dynamics and soil respiration are qualitatively known, their quantification and representation in models is still challenging. The main aim of this study is to test a detailed mechanistic model of soil CO2 dynamics against field data and use the model to understand the role of spatial variability on soil CO2, fluxes and soil respiration. Specifically, (1) we used an existing one-dimensional mechanistic model to reproduce data of soil moisture, soil temperature and air-phase soil CO2 concentrations, and (2) used a two-dimensional model to test whether horizontal variability of soil moisture and soil temperature can explain the hysteresis between soil respiration and soil temperature observed in many field experiments. We used the mechanistic model of Simunek and Suarez (1993), which was solved with finite elements with the software COMSOL Multyphysics. A case study was performed using data collected from a Loblolly Pines at Duke Forest, North Carolina (USA). Soil moisture (θ), soil temperature (Ts) and CO2 dynamics were investigated over 180 days. Given the sharp changes of soil moisture near the surface, due to the layered soil and the presence of most of root water uptake from the first 30 cm of soil, θ resulted to be very difficult to model. Conversely, a good agreement between model and data was achieved for Ts, and modelled CO2 concentrations were reasonably comparable with measured data especially near the surface. This is one of the first studies that try to simulate soil CO2 concentrations measured at high spatial and temporal resolution. Many field observations showed hysteretic cycles between soil respiration and soil temperature as well as soil [CO2] and soil temperature at diffierent depths. Several explanations for these cycles are available, some attributing this hysteresis to experimental procedures and some involving the role of other variables, such as soil moisture and plant photosynthesis. Here we extended the model by Simunek and Suarez (1993) to two dimensions and analyzed the possible role that horizontal variability of soil moisture, soil temperature, and CO2 production can have in generating the hysteresis. Results show that horizontal gradients do not play major role in the hysteresis. Moreover, CO2 production has more inuence that root water uptake on the hysteric cycles.

Convective heat transfer enhancement of a flat plate and LED using ionic wind

description: An experimental investigation on the enhancement of convective heat transfer of a flat plate and LED using ionic wind is reported. The natural and forced convection heat transfers were considered. The ionic wind describes the generation of airflow between two electrodes held at a potential difference and is known to enhance heat transfer. An in-depth review of literatures is provided, where the enhancement of heat transfer is attributed to the generation of secondary flow and disruption of existing boundary layer. Two experimental setups have been constructed, for the natural convection heat transfer enhancement of a flat plate and for the forced convection heat transfer enhancement of LED. The bulk flow forced convection of the LED was generated by an axial fan. For the investigation with the flat plate, the parameters involved were the applied voltage to generate the ionic wind, the flat plate heat flux, the separation gap of electrodes and the number of emitter electrodes used. As the applied voltage increased, the enhancement increased. While as the flat plate heat flux increased, the enhancement of ionic wind decreased due to overwhelming effects of buoyancy. With separation gaps of g = 1.5 cm and g = 1.75 cm, the ionic wind produced similar enhancements, while the heat transfer enhancement was lower with a separation gap of g = 2 cm. Increasing the number of emitter electrodes did not increase the enhancement as the enhancement was linked to the corona current. The maximum heat transfer enhancement recorded was η = 1.41. For the enhancement of heat transfer of the LED, the parameters investigated were the bulk flow velocity represented by the Reynolds number and the orientation of electrodes relative to the LED. In the laminar flow regime investigated, the effect of the Reynolds number on the heat transfer enhancement was minimum. At a given low power consumption, the ionic wind enhanced setup produced a lower average heat transfer coefficient as compared to those produced by the setup cooled solely by the axial fan. This was due to the significant heat transfer produced by the axial fan at low power. However, as the total consumption of power increased, the heat transfer enhancement of the ionic wind increased beyond the reach of the setup with axial fan. The maximum heat transfer enhancement of the LED was η = 1.38. An analysis of the electrodes geometry was performed and showed that the enhancement of heat transfer was dependent on the orientation of the electrodes relative to the LED. An average Nusselt number correlation was formed.

description: We present the first experimental evidence, supported by theory and simulation, of spatiotemporal optical vortices (STOVs). Quantized STOVs are a fundamental element of the nonlinear collapse and subsequent propagation of short optical pulses in material media. A STOV consists of a ring-shaped null in the electromagnetic field about which the phase is spiral, forming a dynamic torus which is concentric with and tracks the propagating pulse. Depending on the sign of the material dispersion, the local electromagnetic energy flow is saddle or spiral about the STOV. STOVs are born and evolve conserving topological charge; they can be simultaneously created in pairs with opposite windings, or generated from a point null. Our results, here obtained for optical pulse collapse and filamentation in air, are generalizable to broad class of nonlinearly propagating waves.

description: The rear side passivation of PERC (passivated emitter and rear) solar cells implies a modified contacting approach in comparison to Al back surface field cells. This substantial modification of the rear side leads to higher cell performance but can also imply new failure and degradation mechanisms. In our work, we present a systematic approach for a quantitative evaluation of individual components of the rear side metallization. We propose an experimental method to separate the major contributions to the series resistance of the rear side of PERC solar cells and show their impact on cell reliability during temperature cycling stress tests.
The local contact between metallization and silicon, especially at voids, shows no degradation due to temperature cycling nor electromigration after high current injection. The degradation of the lateral resistance of the rear side metallization shows a good correlation with the measured series resistance increase.

description: An analytical model is presented that can account for both electrical and hot and cold thermal contact resistances when calculating the efficiency of a thermoelectric generator. The model is compared to a numerical model of a thermoelectric leg, for 16 different thermoelectric materials, as well as the analytical models of Ebling et. al. (2010) and Min \& Rowe (1992). The model presented here is shown to accurately calculate the efficiency for all systems and all contact resistances considered, with an average difference in efficiency between the numerical model and the analytical model of $-0.07\pm0.35$ pp. This makes the model more accurate than previously published models. The maximum absolute difference in efficiency between the analytical model and the numerical model is 1.14 pp for all materials and all contact resistances considered.

description: This paper focuses on analysis of damp heat tests performed on small 10cm x 10cm amorphous silicon
glass on glass mini modules. The modules were prepared in-house in superstrate configuration with monolithic
interconnections. Combination of encapsulants like EVA, Silicone, PVB with or without edge sealants like PIB and
Silicone were tested during the experiment. The modules underwent 1000 hours in 85°C and at 85% RH as per IEC
61646 regulations. Performance and visual analysis of these a-Si:H modules were carried out at specific intervals
during the test. Additionally, sensor modules using capacitive sensors and cobalt-chloride stripes modules were tested
under DH separately to understand and correlate moisture ingress. This paper reports the best combination of
materials that successfully withstands the test along with a comparison of moisture content measured inside various
sensor modules. A brief analysis of the reasons of failure of other modules is also provided.

description: We develop and use a novel mixed-precision weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) method for solving the Teukolsky equation, which arises when modeling perturbations of Kerr black holes. We show that WENO methods outperform higher-order finite-difference methods, standard in the discretization of the Teukolsky equation, due to the need to add dissipation for stability purposes in the latter. In particular, as the WENO scheme uses no additional dissipation it is well-suited for scenarios requiring long-time evolution such as the study of Price tails and gravitational wave emission from extreme mass ratio binaries. In the mixed-precision approach, the expensive computation of the WENO weights is performed in reduced floating-point precision that results in a significant speedup factor of 3.3. In addition, we use state-of-the-art Nvidia general-purpose graphics processing units and cluster parallelism to further accelerate the WENO computations. Our optimized WENO solver can be used to quickly generate accurate results of significance in the field of black hole and gravitational wave physics. We apply our solver to study the behavior of the Aretakis charge -- a conserved quantity, that if detected by a gravitational wave observatory like LIGO/Virgo would prove the existence of extremal black holes.

description: A water droplet's behaviour on different substrates can vary significantly depending on the surface characteristics. A super hydrophobic surface is unique in that a droplet of water resting on it will exhibit contact angles greater than 1so· and this brings about a variety of benefits, such as low liquid loss due to low adhesive properties. An unexplored application for superhydrophobic surfaces is in microfluidics for 'Lab-on-a-chip' type devices. In using a sand blaster approach, an intrinsically hydrophobic material such as Teflon was able to be transformed into a superhydrophobic one with contact angles up to 170•. The impact angle of the particulates onto the surface was found to have significant influence on the behaviour modification. A rod that was made superhydrophobic allowed for direct contact with droplets under low sticking. In microplate wells, this permitted mixing to be done by simple liquid compression. Drops could be delivered to a superhydrophobic well either through the use of a liquid nebuliser, or the continuous delivery of water through a hole at the bottom of the well via a pump. The nebuliser allowed for accurate dispensation of droplets while the pump method offered better opportunities for the creation of a more compact device. The superhydrophobic well could also be used to restrain droplets when it was tilted at different speeds. The angular velocity of the well was found to correlate with the angle in which the droplet would escape the well; the faster the well rotated, the greater the angle required before the droplet would escape. Additionally, with an arrangement of multiple wells on a platform, droplets could be pushed from one well to another using a controlled short bursts of pressurised air. Overall, it has been found that attributes of superhydrophobic surface, particularly the low adhesion, non-contamination and non-sticking properties, have been shown to offer interesting vistas in discrete microfluidics.

description: Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in nanoscale hotspots has been placed great hopes upon for identification of minimum chemical traces and in-situ investigation of single molecule structures and dynamics. However, previous work consists of either irreproducible enhancement factors (EF) from random aggregates, or moderate EFs despite better reproducibility. Consequently, systematic study of SERS at the single and few molecules level is still very limited, and the promised applications are far from being realized. Here we report EFs as high as the most intense hotspots in previous work yet achieved in a reproducible and well controlled manner, that is, electromagnetic EFs (EMEF) of 10^9~10 with an error down to 10^+/-0.08 from gold nanospheres on atomically flat gold planes under radially polarized (RP) laser excitation. In addition, our experiment reveals the EF's unexpected nonlinearity under as low as hundreds of nanowatts of laser power.

description: In this work, we present measurements of angle resolved light absorption of antireflective (AR) glass of PV samples, performed indoors using a collimated high radiance broadband light source. This indoor method proved to be viable and offered a significant simplification compared to outdoor measurements with trackers. The experimental results showed optical responses that are stable and suitable for indoor characterization of solar cells. We find the characteristic optical response of six different antireflective glasses, and based on such measurements, we perform PVsyst simulations and present the monthly DC energy production estimates across four distinct latitudinal locations with six different glass types. The results indicated that the AR glasses present different optical effects at the angles intervals between 0 – 45° and 60 – 90° and that the Diffuse AR glass can improve monthly yields by as much as 2% relatively to a bare cell.

description: Let $M$ be a differentiable manifold endowed with a family of complete Riemannian metrics $g(t)$ evolving under a geometric flow over the time interval $[0,T[$. In this article, we give a probabilistic representation for the derivative of the corresponding conjugate semigroup on $M$ which is generated by a Schrödinger type operator. With the help of this derivative formula, we derive fundamental Harnack type inequalities in the setting of evolving Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we establish a dimension-free Harnack inequality and show how it can be used to achieve heat kernel upper bounds in the setting of moving metrics. Moreover, by means of the supercontractivity of the conjugate semigroup, we obtain a family of canonical log-Sobolev inequalities. We discuss and apply these results both in the case of the so-called modified Ricci flow and in the case of general geometric flows.

description: When exploring new materials for their potential in (opto)electronic device applications, it is important to understand the role of various carrier interaction and scattering processes. Research on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors has recently progressed towards the realisation of working devices, which involve light-emitting diodes, nanocavity lasers, and single-photon emitters. In these two-dimensional atomically thin semiconductors, the Coulomb interaction is known to be much stronger than in quantum wells of conventional semiconductors like GaAs, as witnessed by the 50 times larger exciton binding energy. The question arises, whether this directly translates into equivalently faster carrier-carrier Coulomb scattering of excited carriers. Here we show that a combination of ab-initio band-structure and many-body theory predicts carrier relaxation on a 50-fs time scale, which is less than an order of magnitude faster than in quantum wells. These scattering times compete with the recently reported sub-ps exciton recombination times, thus making it harder to achieve population inversion and lasing.

description: We investigated the photovoltaic (PV) module located at Kagoshima Prefectural Institute of Industrial Technology (KIT) near Sakurajima volcano and exposed outdoor for a long time. The cell condition of the PV module is almost favorable, however, the PV module glass was influenced by the volcanic ashes from Sakurajima. From secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) analyses, general soil elements were also detected. These results suggest that not only volcanic ashes but also general soil contaminants may chemically affect the PV module components in the future.
The ability to achieve equit in climate change

description: Historical C02 emissions are linked to fossil fuel energy use, which in turn is linked to development and wealth in countries. However, the severity of climatic impacts due to emissions is spatially variable and need not correspond to the level of contribution toward climate change or the subsequent developmental benefits accrued from fossil fuel energy consumption. This gives rise to disparities in the capacity to respond to climate change. It is necessary to consider resolutions to these inequities for a widely acceptable solution to climate change. The purpose of this thesis is to develop an emission distribution that can limit the average global temperature rise below 2°C (RCP2.6) and minimize inequities in the capacity to respond to climate change. As such, the emission distribution aims to enable rapid development in poor countries in order to improve standards of living via greater energy access. Furthermore, the emission distribution aims for all countries to approach equal per capita emissions by 2050, which was deemed to be an equitable outcome. The emission distribution allocates each country with three distinct emission pathways that can enable the global targets of RCP2.6 to be achieved. Each of these emission pathways was found to enable the vast majority of countries to approach equal per capita emissions. Furthermore, the emission distribution was found to enable poor countries to gain wealth via carbon trading mechanisms such as emissions trading schemes. Although the latter could improve energy access (a pre-requisite to development) in poor countries, it was shown that achieving energy equity needs to consider the availability and ability to exploit energy resources at a country level. The emission distribution was found not to account for the effects on the capacity to respond to climate change from disparities in the severity of future impacts at a country level. So, the emission distribution was deemed to underestimate the developmental needs of some countries. Lastly, various barriers to participation in an international agreement at a country level, and preferences in the emission pathway to approach equal per capita emissions by 2050 were found to limit the ability to achieve an equitable outcome via the emission distribution and achieve the global targets of RCP2.6. This thesis highlighted the need to consider equity for an international agreement to stabilize climate change. It also highlighted how considering equity holistically helps to better understand the links and complexities between emissions, energy, human development and the capacity to respond to climate change.
