description: HectoMAP is a dense redshift survey of 95,403 galaxies based primarily on MMT spectroscopy with a median redshift $z = 0.345$. The survey covers 54.64 square degrees in a 1.5$^\circ$ wide strip across the northern sky centered at a declination of 43.25$^\circ$. We report the redshift, the spectral indicator D$_{n}$4000, and the stellar mass. The red selected survey is 81\% complete for 55,962 galaxies with $(g-r) > 1$ and $r <20.5$; it is 72\% complete for 32,908 galaxies with $(g-r) > 1$, $(r-i) > 0.5$ and $20.5 < r < 21.3$. Comparison of the survey basis SDSS photometry with the HSC-SSP photometry demonstrates that HectoMAP provides complete magnitude limited surveys based on either photometric system. We update the comparison between the HSC-SSP photometric redshifts with HectoMAP spectroscopic redshifts; the comparison demonstrates that the HSC-SSP photometric redshifts have improved between the second and third data releases. HectoMAP is a foundation for examining the quiescent galaxy population (63\% of the survey), clusters of galaxies, and the cosmic web. HectoMAP is completely covered by the HSC-SSP survey, thus enabling a variety of strong and weak lensing investigations.

description: The contribution of solar energy generation to electrical grids is fast growing. Because the weather is intrinsically fluctuating and chaotic and solar production is obviously connected to weather conditions, the supply of solar energy is fluctuating and chaotic as well. But the electrical grid must be balanced at any time. Anticipate solar production pattern would help to control the solar energy penetration into the network while keeping it balanced.
Several methods have been proposed so as to anticipate the solar production, including methods grounded on time series analysis, on NWP (Numerical weather forecast) from specialised providers, on satellite images, or on sky images. These types of methods are known to be efficient at various temporal horizons.
In the present paper, we show a new set of methods that takes advantage of a plurality of types of sources so as to frequently provide forecasts of solar power plants. Our sources include several NWP providers, satellite images, sky images and real time power/irradiance monitoring. Learning procedures are included to account for the plant specificities but our method is able to perform forecasts before receiving any historical data from the plant. The main types of solar power plants are taken into account including classical photovoltaic, tracked photovoltaic, concentrated photovoltaic and thermodynamic solar plants.
In our experience (our developments started in 2008), testing the forecasting algorithms on one or several plants is not enough. Indeed, many behaviours or particular features can be observed according to plant, or to climate. Consequently, we tested on as much as possible plants located in various sites around the world (more than 150 plants on 3 continents). Especially, we claim that the solar energy forecasting is critical for tropical Islands. Indeed is such cases, on the one hand, a lot of solar energy may be injected in weak grid and on the other hand, the weather could varying fastly and specific climates could be observed. For that reason, the CEA and the Steadysun company develop algorithms with a special care of Mayotte island case in collaboration with EDM (Electricity De Mayotte, the grid operator) and SUNZIL (main solar plants operator in Mayotte).

description: Recently, numerical weather prediction models (NWP) have become a useful tool to forecast photovoltaic power generations and the global horizontal irradiance (GHI) at the surface. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) developed a high resolution model with a horizontal grid spacing of 2km (local forecast model; LFM). The JMA started an operational use of the model on summer in 2012. In this study, seasonal validations of GHI forecasts obtained from the LFM are investigated using surface-observed GHI values at JMA stations. GHI forecasts tend to be overestimated (positive mean bias errors) in the whole region of Japan from summer to winter. RMSE values of GHI forecasts from the LFM gradually decrease from summer to winter (from 170 W/m2 to 100 W/m2). Forecast errors normalized by extraterrestrial solar irradiance ranges -0.4 to +0.4. Differences of forecast errors in forecasts obtained from different initial conditions are not significant. We also investigate forecast errors of GHI values for several different weather conditions (case studies). From time series of hourly GHI values, in cases of a clear sky and/or a deep cloudy conditions (i.e., optically thick clouds), GHI forecasts reproduce observations well. However, in a case of optically thin clouds (i.e., low-level clouds), GHI forecasts from the LFM have relatively large forecast errors. Furthermore, validations on GHI forecasts for a relative large area against a pinpoint forecast will be desired in the whole region of Japan.

description: Matching electricity generation and demand is a task to be accomplished by any electricity supply system, but it is a greater challenge if a large part of the supply is provided by volatile generation from PV and wind power systems. Combination of the latter and of flexibilities in the system, that is to say generation and demand side management, storage and spatial balancing via grids are means to meet that challenge. Their optimum combination is subject of debate and there is some degree of uncertainty in all models as forecasts for important parameters such as storage costs are difficult to make. In any case, it is widely agreed that a combination of PV and wind and of different flexibilities rather than a single one minimizes overall costs and risks. Further, it can be reasonably assumed that gradual application of flexibilities from the household level up to inter-connected transmission grids, involving a broad range of market actors at all levels, bears more advantages than application at a single level. The best strategy to pave the way for high integration of RE is therefore to provide a framework allowing PV and wind generators being spatially distributed, a combination of flexibilities being applied at different levels, and a range of market actors being involved. Means to achieve this include flexible electricity tariffs, exemption of self-consumed renewable electricity from any fees and administrative burden, grid use fees reflecting power rather than energy, and facilitated trade of very small amounts of energy and power.

description: Wearables such as smartwatches provide opportunity to monitor health and detect diseases unobtrusively in daily life. However, much work is required to establish pathways to use consumer wearables for clinical decision making. In this talk, Peter Charlton will present an introduction to consumer wearables, focusing on the capabilities provided by photoplethysmography and electrocardiography sensors. He will then summarise potential clinical applications, highlighting contributions from his research towards making these applications a reality. Finally, he will share some areas for consideration to ensure consumer wearables can be used robustly for clinical decision making.

description: Comprehending the connections between the geometric, topological, and dynamical structures of integrable quantum systems with quantum phenomena exploitable in quantum information tasks, such as quantum entanglement, is a major problem in geometric information science. In this work we investigate these issues in a physical system of $\mathcal{N}$ interacting spin-$\mathtt{s}$ under long-range Ising model. We discover the relevant dynamics, identify the corresponding quantum phase space and we derive the associated Fubini-Study metric. Through the application of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and the derivation of the Gaussian curvature, we have proved that the dynamics occurs on a spherical topology manifold. Afterwards, we analyze the gained geometrical phase under the arbitrary and cyclic evolution processes and solve the quantum brachistochrone problem by establishing the time-optimal evolution. Moreover, by narrowing the system to a two spin-$\mathtt{s}$ system, we explore the relevant entanglement from two different perspectives; The first is geometrical in nature and involves the investigation of the interplay between the entanglement degree and the geometrical structures, such as the Fubini-Study metric, the Gaussian curvature and the geometrical phase. The second is dynamical in nature and tackles the entanglement effect on the evolution speed and geodesic distance. Additionally, we resolve the quantum brachistochrone problem based on the entanglement degree.

description: This paper aims to highlight the potential for reduction of the photovoltaic array cabling, in order to
reduce the initial cost of a large scale PV power plant. We use a custom MATLAB tool to calculate the optimized
configuration of the cabling for a PV array unit, which includes PV modules, combiner boxes, cables and one inverter
station. In order to further optimize the cabling we investigate whether a second stage of combiner boxes (mentioned
in this work as recombiner boxes) could lead to PV cabling reduction. Thus, we develop a method, which groups
together a number of combiner boxes in various alternative ways and by using a recombiner connects them with the
inverter. Afterwards, a comparison between the cases of using one and two stages of combiner boxes is performed for
various PV array power ratings and for two different types of PV modules. It has to be mentioned that for the
comparison, the cable conductor mass has been considered as a cost index, so that in all cases the optimization is
focused in total conductor mass reduction. Recently, there have been discussions for increasing the maximum
permissible voltage level in the PV array from 1000V to 1500V, mainly to allow longer PV strings. Thus, this study
is performed for systems of both 1000V and 1500V maximum voltage ratings.

description: We provide an analysis of monitoring data of photovoltaic systems in Germany for 2013. The data represents
the potential yield, which PV systems should have reached last year. The comparison of the yield data results
shows that more than 80 % of all PV systems in Germany do not reach their full potential due to defects from the
planning, construction, and operating phases. We use yield and insolation data including the configuration of the PV
system in 15-minute intervals and aggregated these data to monthly values. The data has been cleared up by a twostep
algorithm to consider only PV systems without any malfunction in this time period. The evaluation of the yield
represents the energy production of PV systems in Germany, which the systems were be able to achieve if the systems
have been planned, built and operated professionally. During 2012 in many parts of Germany there was average
insolation and thus a profitable year, 2013 shows a below-average solar year. The results are objectively verifiable
and have no subjective influence. The significance analysis shows that for a sufficiently large number of evaluable
PV systems, the statistical results reflect the real income of the solar systems very well.

description: The anomalous Hall effect is deemed to be a unique transport property of ferromagnetic metals, caused by the concerted action of spin polarization and spin-orbit coupling. Nevertheless, recent experiments have shown that the effect also occurs in a nonmagnetic metal (Pt) in contact with a magnetic insulator (yttrium iron garnet (YIG)), even when precautions are taken to ensure there is no induced magnetization in the metal. We propose a theory of this effect based on the combined action of spin-dependent scattering from the magnetic interface and the spin Hall effect in the bulk of the metal. At variance with previous theories, we predict the effect to be of first order in the spin-orbit coupling, just as the conventional anomalous Hall effect -- the only difference being the spatial separation of the spin orbit interaction and the magnetization. For this reason we name this effect \textit{nonlocal anomalous Hall effect} and predict that its sign will be determined by the sign of the spin Hall angle in the metal. The AH conductivity that we calculate from our theory is in good agreement with the measured values in Pt/YIG structures.

description: Cool and dense ejections, typically H$_α$ surges, often appear alongside EUV or X-Ray coronal jets as a result of the emergence of magnetized plasma from the solar interior. Idealized numerical experiments explain those ejections as being indirectly associated with the magnetic reconnection taking place between the emerging and preexisting systems. However, those experiments miss basic elements that can importantly affect the surge phenomenon. In this paper we study the cool surges using a realistic treatment of the radiation transfer and material plasma properties. To that end, the Bifrost code is used, which has advanced modules for the equation of state of the plasma, photospheric and chromospheric radiation transfer, heat conduction and optically thin radiative cooling. We carry out a 2.5D experiment of the emergence of magnetized plasma through (meso)granular convection cells and the low atmosphere to the corona. Through detailed Lagrange tracing, we study the formation and evolution of the cool ejection and, in particular, the role of the entropy sources: this allows us to discern families of evolutionary patterns for the plasma elements. In the launch phase many elements suffer accelerations well in excess of gravity; when nearing the apex of their individual trajectories, instead, the plasma elements follow quasi-parabolic trajectories with acceleration close to g$_{\odot^{}}$. We show how the formation of the cool ejection is mediated by a wedge-like structure composed of two shocks, one of which leads to the detachment of the surge from the original emerged plasma dome.

description: A large family of plasmas has collisional mean-free-path much longer than the non-neutral sheath width, which scales with the plasma Debye length. The plasmas, particularly the electrons, assume strong temperature anisotropy in the sheath. The temperature in the sheath flow direction ($T_{e\parallel}$) is lower and drops towards the wall as a result of the decompressional cooling by the accelerating sheath flow. The electron temperature in the transverse direction of the flow field ($T_{e\perp}$) not only is higher but also spikes up in the sheath. This abnormal behavior of $T_{e\perp}$ spike is found to be the result of a negative gradient of the parallel heat flux of transverse degrees of freedom ($q_{es}$) in the sheath. The non-zero heat flux $q_{es}$ is induced by pitch-angle scattering of electrons via either their interaction with self-excited electromagnetic waves in a nearly collisionless plasma or Coulomb collision in a collisional plasma, or both in the intermediate regime of plasma collisionality.

description: We prove a theorem which gives a bijection between the support $τ$-tilting modules over a given finite-dimensional algebra $A$ and the support $τ$-tilting modules over $A/I$, where $I$ is the ideal generated by the intersection of the center of $A$ and the radical of $A$. This bijection is both explicit and well-behaved. We give various corollaries of this, with a particular focus on blocks of group rings of finite groups. In particular we show that there are $τ$-tilting finite wild blocks with more than one simple module. We then go on to classify all support $τ$-tilting modules for all algebras of dihedral, semidihedral and quaternion type, as defined by Erdmann, which include all tame blocks of group rings. Note that since these algebras are symmetric, this is the same as classifying all basic two-term tilting complexes, and it turns out that a tame block has at most $32$ different basic two-term tilting complexes. We do this by using the aforementioned reduction theorem, which reduces the problem to ten different algebras only depending on the ground field $k$, all of which happen to be string algebras. To deal with these ten algebras we give a combinatorial classification of all $τ$-rigid modules over (not necessarily symmetric) string algebras.

description: This paper presents performance and reliability data from nearly 50,000 photovoltaic (PV) systems totaling 1.7 gigawatts installed capacity in the USA from 2009 to 2012 and their geographic trends. About 90% of the normal systems and about 85% of all systems, including systems with known issues, performed to within 10% or better of expected performance. Although considerable uncertainty may exist due to the nature of the data, systems in hotter climates appear to exhibit some decline that could be a combination of insolation variability, soiling and possible degradation. Special causes of underperformance and their impacts are delineated by reliability category. Hardware-related issues are dominated by inverter problems (totaling less than 0.5%) and underperforming modules (totaling less than 0.1%). Furthermore, many reliability categories show a significant decrease in occurrence from year 1 to subsequent years, emphasizing the need for higher-quality installations, but also the need for improved standards development. The probability of PV system damage because of hail is below 0.05%. Singular weather events, such as a single lightning strike to a transformer or a hurricane, can have a significant impact on production. However, grid outages are more likely to have a significant impact than extreme weather events that cause PV system damage.

description: Azimuthal structures in cylindrical Penning discharge are studied with 2D3V radial-azimuthal PIC/MCC model with the axial magnetic field. The discharge is self-consistently supported by ionization due to the axial injection of electrons. It is shown that the steady-state discharge can be supported in two different regimes with different type of observed azimuthal structures. The transition between the regimes is controlled by the mechanism of the energy input to the discharge. In the first regime (low energy of the injected electrons), with the pronounced $m=1$ spoke activity, the power input is dominated by the energy absorption due to the radial current and self-consistent electric field. In the other regime (higher energy of the injected electrons), with prevalent small scale $m>1$ spiral structures, and the lower values of the anomalous transport, the total energy deposited to the discharge is lower and is mostly due to the direct input of the kinetic energy from the axial electron beam. We show that the large (m=1) spoke and small scale structures occur as a result of Simon-Hoh and lower hybrid instabilities driven by the electric field, density gradient, and collisions. We show that the spoke frequency follows the equilibrium ion rotation frequency.

description: We investigate the redshift evolution of the [OIII]/Hb nebular emission line ratio for a sample of galaxies spanning the redshift range 0 < z < 4. We compare the observed evolution to a set of theoretical models which account for the independent evolution of chemical abundance, ionization parameter and interstellar-medium (ISM) pressure in star-forming galaxies with redshift. Accounting for selection effects in the combined datasets, we show that the evolution to higher [OIII]/Hb ratios with redshift is a real physical effect which is best accounted for by a model in which the ionization parameter is elevated from the average values typical of local star-forming galaxies, with a possible simultaneous increase in the ISM pressure. We rule out the possibility that the observed [OIII]/Hb evolution is purely due to metallicity evolution. We discuss the implications of these results for using local empirical metallicity calibrations to measure metallicities at high redshift, and briefly discuss possible theoretical implications of our results.

description: During the past four years, national experts from thirteen institutions around the world have worked together within the International Energy Agency (IEA) PVPS Task 14 Subtask 2 – High Penetration PV in Local Distribution Grids. The main aim of this collaboration was to identify industry’s best practices for achieving high penetration levels of PV integration on the distribution grid in a technically sound and economically efficient manner. Based on an analysis of the different national regulatory frameworks for the interconnection of PV systems into distribution grids implemented around the world to date, and the lessons learned from selected national high penetration PV case-studies, best-practice examples have been established which outline the crucial technical milestones leading towards successful global large scale high PV penetration scenarios.

description: The uniqueness of each viewpoint, each point of effect, can be "overcome" only by changing the viewpoint to other viewpoints and returning. Such an alternation, which can also appear as constant change, makes up the unity of the world. The wholeness of an alternation, however, is a consciousness structure because of the special relationship between the circumscribing periphery and the infinitesimal center. This process structure unites determinacy and indeterminacy at every point also totally. We are dealing, therefore, with forms of consciousness everywhere, with more or less freedom of choice and an increasingly unknown depth. We live in a world of choosing consciousness or better: awareness. In this respect, our environment expresses a deep truth about ourselves.

description: Today the cost of commercially produced silicon photocells dropped below one dollar, and conversion efficiency of solar energy into electricity reached 19%, but at the cost of billions of dollars of costs. Each following percent of its increase is accompanied by a sharp complication of production technology and increase in the cost hundreds of times. For example, an increase of output of electric current is carried out through the absorption of light of different wavelengths by several multi-layers of photocell, which differ in composition of chemical elements. Therefore, new developments due to their high cost are not enough future-oriented for wide use. Here we have a task to improve the efficiency of using traditional cheap photocells. We offer a fundamentally new solution, which is based on a more complete use of thermal properties of photocells.

description: We study the decay process of $J/ψ\rightarrow e^+e^- ϕ$ where the relatively clean electromagnetic (EM) transitions appear at leading order at tree level while the hadronic contributions only emerge via hadronic loop transitions. We include the low-lying scalar $f_0(980)$ and pseudoscalar $η/η'$ as the dominant contributions in the evaluation of the hadronic loop contributions. It is found that the hadronic effects are negligible comparing with the EM contributions. The decay width of $J/ψ\rightarrow e^+e^- ϕ$ is determined to be about $2.12\times 10^{-6}$ keV if there is no any other leading mechanism contributing, and this result will be tested by the BESIII experiment with a large data sample of $J/ψ$.

description: We present a study of the superconducting properties of the candidate topological superconductor Ti_(3)Sb. Electrical transport measurements show zero resistance with a T_(c,onset) of ~ 5.9 K with a transition width ΔT_c~ 0.6 K. The superconducting phase boundaries as derived from magneto-transport and magnetic susceptibility measurements agree well. We estimate an upper critical field Bc2(0)~4.5 T. A Ginzburg-Landau (GL) analysis yields values of the coherence length and penetration depth of ζ = 6.2 nm and λ = 340 nm, respectively, and a GL parameter ~ 55, indicating extreme type-II behavior. Furthermore, we observed a step height in the specific heat (ΔC_e)/(γT_c )~1.61, a value larger than the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) value of 1.43, suggesting modest coupling. Measurements of the temperature dependence of the London penetration depth via the tunnel-diode oscillator (TDO) technique down to ~ 450 mK show a full superconducting gap, consistent with a conventional s-wave gap structure.

description: Metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) has been used for the development of high efficiency photovoltaic structures that enabled higher efficiency for conventional triple-junction solar cell devices. The growth calibration and characterizations for the triple-junction structures on germanium wafers have been characterized in this study using X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Photoluminescence (PL), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) and surface defects. Using a complete and thorough characterization of a triple junction solar cell establishes a baseline for benchmarking the MOCVD growth process.

description: Complex organic molecules are only detected toward a fraction of high-mass protostars. The goal of this work is to investigate whether high-mass disks can explain the lack of methanol emission from some massive protostellar systems. We consider an envelope-only and an envelope-plus-disk model and use RADMC-3D to calculate the methanol emission. High and low millimeter (mm) opacity dust are considered for both models separately and the methanol abundance is parameterized. Viscous heating is included due to the high accretion rates of these objects in the disk. In contrast with low-mass protostars, the presence of a disk does not significantly affect the temperature structure and methanol emission. The shadowing effect of the disk is not as important for high-mass objects and the disk mid-plane is hot because of viscous heating, which is effective due to the high accretion rates. Consistent with observations of infrared absorption lines toward high-mass protostars, we find a vertical temperature inversion, i.e. higher temperatures in the disk mid-plane than the disk surface, at radii < 50au for the models with $L=10^4$ L$_{\odot}$ and large mm opacity dust as long as the envelope mass is >550 M$_{\odot}$. The large observed scatter in methanol emission from massive protostars can be mostly explained toward lower luminosity objects with the envelope-plus-disk models including low and high mm opacity dust. The methanol emission variation toward sources with high luminosities cannot be explained by models with or without a disk. However, the $L/M$ of these objects suggest that they could be associated with hypercompact/ultracompact HII regions. Therefore, the low methanol emission toward the high-luminosity sources can be explained by them hosting an HII region where methanol is absent.

NGC 5195 in M51: Feedback `Burps' after a Massive Meal?

description: We describe a double-arc-like X-ray structure lying ~15-30" (~0.8-1.7 kpc) south of the NGC 5195 nucleus visible in the merged exposures of long Chandra pointings of M51. The curvature and orientation of the arcs argues for a nuclear origin. The arcs are radially separated by ~15" (~1$ kpc), but are rotated relative to each other by ~30 deg. From an archival image, we find a slender Halpha-emitting region just outside the outer edge of the outer X-ray arc, suggesting that the X-ray-emitting gas plowed up and displaced the Halpha-emitting material from the galaxy core. Star formation may have commenced in that arc. Halpha emission is present at the inner arc, but appears more complex in structure. In contrast to an explosion expected to be azimuthally symmetric, the X-ray arcs suggest a focused outflow. We interpret the arcs as episodic outbursts from the central super-massive black hole (SMBH). We conclude that NGC 5195 represents the nearest galaxy exhibiting on-going, large-scale outflows of gas, in particular, two episodes of a focused outburst of the SMBH. The arcs represent a clear demonstration of feedback.

description: The Wideband Sensitivity Upgrade (WSU) is the top priority initiative for the ALMA2030 Development Roadmap. The WSU will initially double, and eventually quadruple, ALMA's system bandwidth and will deliver improved sensitivity by upgrading the receivers, digital electronics and correlator. The WSU will afford significant improvements for every future ALMA observation, whether it is for continuum or spectral line science. The continuum imaging speed will increase by a factor of 3 for the 2x bandwidth upgrade, plus any gains from improved receiver temperatures. The spectral line imaging speed will improve by a factor of 2-3. The improvements provided by the WSU will be most dramatic for high spectral resolution observations, where the instantaneous bandwidth correlated at 0.1-0.2 km/s resolution will increase by 1-2 orders of magnitude in most receiver bands. The improved sensitivity and spectral tuning grasp will open new avenues of exploration and enable more efficient observations. The impact will span the vast array of topics that embodies ALMA's motto "In Search of our Cosmic Origins". The WSU will greatly expand the chemical inventory of protoplanetary disks, which will have profound implications for how and when planets form. Observations of the interstellar medium will measure a variety of molecular species to build large samples of clouds, cores and protostars. The WSU will also enable efficient surveys of galaxies at high redshift. The first elements of the WSU will be available later this decade, including a wideband Band 2 receiver, a wideband upgrade to Band 6, new digitizers and digital transmission system, and a new correlator. Other upgrades are under study, including the newly developed ACA spectrometer and upgrades to Bands 9 and 10. The gains enabled by the WSU will further enhance ALMA as the world leading facility for millimeter/submillimeter astronomy. [Abridged]

description: O relatório analítico "IMLEE 2023" oferece uma análise abrangente sobre a Liberdade Econômica Estadual no Brasil, focando nos índices de liberdade econômica de cada unidade federativa. O Índice Mackenzie de Liberdade Econômica Estadual (IMLEE) é composto por três dimensões principais: gastos governamentais, tributação e regulação do mercado de trabalho. Em 2023, a média nacional do índice foi de 4,38, representando um aumento em relação a 2022. São Paulo lidera o ranking com a maior pontuação (6,02), enquanto o Piauí ficou na última posição (3,35).

O relatório enfatiza que estados com maior liberdade econômica tendem a ser mais prósperos, evidenciando uma correlação positiva entre PIB per capita e liberdade econômica. No entanto, mesmo os estados mais bem classificados enfrentam um ambiente geral de liberdade econômica limitada no Brasil.

Além disso, o relatório destaca uma queda geral nos índices durante os anos de recessão (2015-2016) e durante a pandemia em 2020, seguida por uma leve recuperação iniciada em 2021, após a flexibilização das medidas de isolamento relacionadas à COVID-19.

É importante notar que a adoção da lei de liberdade econômica por parte de estados e municípios ainda não é avaliada pelo IMLEE, mas está prevista para ser incorporada na evolução metodológica futura.

Por fim, o relatório explora as diferenças entre os estados, destacando que Mato Grosso do Sul, Espírito Santo e São Paulo estão entre os mais bem colocados, enquanto Piauí, Sergipe e Bahia enfrentam os maiores desafios em termos de liberdade econômica.

description: Il visual thinking ovvero il “pensare per immagini” è una metodologia che si sta diffondendo con sempre maggiore importanza in diversi ambiti, in particolare quello educativo. Essa permette di rappresentare concetti e pensieri attraverso immagini e presentazioni visive. Queste facilitano l’accesso alle informazioni e alla conoscenza valorizzandole, migliorandone l’organizzazione e favorendone la comprensione, aiutando nell’apprendimento e nei processi di problem solving. Il presente contributo intende esplorare le più recenti esperienze di utilizzo delle strategie di visual thinking nella formazione nei contesti sanitari, al fine di riflettere sull’efficacia educativa di tali metodologie ed evidenziarne eventuali limiti e punti di forza. Attraverso una revisione della letteratura con il metodo Picom., restringendo il campo di ricerca agli ultimi cinque anni sulle banche dati Medline/PubMed, e Scopus, sono stati individuati 20 contributi di ricerca - in lingua inglese - sull’utilizzo delle Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) nei percorsi formazione medico – sanitaria.

description: A steady-state solar simulator at INTA-SPASOLAB has been upgraded for electric performance (EP) measurements of triple junction (TJ) GaInP/InGaAs/ Ge space solar cells at low and high irradiance levels between 0.03 and 5.3 AM0 solar constants (equivalent to 41 and 7.2 kWm-2). By this upgrading, EP measurements can now be performed at low-high intensity and under controlled low and high temperature conditions between -160ºC and +300ºC. Precautions to be taken, regarding simulator adjustment with single component reference cells, when transiting to EP measurements at higher irradiance levels are included. Measured current-voltage curves in the achieved irradiance range are presented, indicating obtained fill factor differences.
