description: We observed the nuclear region of the galaxy NGC 1365 with the integral field unit of the Gemini Multi Object Spectrograph mounted on the GEMINI-South telescope. The field of view covers $13^{\prime\prime} \times 6^{\prime\prime}$ ($1173 \times 541$ pc$^{2}$) centered on the nucleus, at a spatial resolution of $52$ pc. The spectral coverage extends from $5600$ Å to $7000$ Å, at a spectral resolution $R=1918$. NGC 1365 hosts a Seyfert 1.8 nucleus, and exhibits a prominent bar extending out to $100^{\prime\prime}$ (9 kpc) from the nucleus. The field of view lies within the inner Lindblad resonance. Within this region, we found that the kinematics of the ionized gas (as traced by [OI], [NII], H$α$, and [SII]) is consistent with rotation in the large-scale plane of the galaxy. While rotation dominates the kinematics, there is also evidence for a fan-shaped outflow, as found in other studies based on the [OIII] emission lines. Although evidence for gas inflowing along nuclear spirals has been found in a few barred galaxies, we find no obvious signs of such features in the inner kiloparsec of NGC 1365. However, the emission lines exhibit a puzzling asymmetry that could originate from gas which is slower than the gas responsible for the bulk of the narrow-line emission. We speculate that it could be tracing gas which lost angular momentum, and is slowly migrating from the inner Lindblad resonance towards the nucleus of the galaxy.

description: Dermatoses are common and potentially serious complications of programmed cell death receptor PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor (anti-PD-1 ICI) therapy. Understanding their incidence is necessary to support clinical awareness, diagnosis, and management. To examine the incidence and odds of reported non-cancerous dermatoses in the setting of anti-PD-1 ICI therapy. Cross-sectional study of anti-PD-1 (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) treated patients at a tertiary healthcare institution. Selected dermatologic events following immunotherapy were identified in the electronic medical record. Comparator arm were patients that developed these same dermatoses without receiving anti-PD-1 ICI therapy. There were 13.7% (254/1857) patients that developed one of 28 dermatoses. Compared with the general population, patients treated with anti-PD-1 had a greater risk for development of mucositis (OR 65.7, 95% CI 35.0–123.3), xerostomia (OR 11.9, 95% CI 8.4–16.8), pruritus (11.3, 95% CI 8.9–14.3), and lichen planus/lichenoid dermatitis (OR 10.7, 95% CI 5.6–20.7). We report the frequency of dermatoses encountered in the setting of ICI therapy, both common (pruritus, rash, vitiligo) and uncommon (scleroderma, urticaria).

description: The expectation is for silver consumption per solar cell to continue to fall in the future, while the use of
low cost copper increases. This work addresses three issues with copper plated contacts that have prevented largescale
commercialization of plating processes until recently. Firstly, poor adhesion of plated contacts is improved
through the use of anchor points that lock the plated metal into the silicon surface. Secondly, durability concerns with
copper have been alleviated through the use of deep junctions in close proximity to any copper in conjunction with
the use of nickel silicide diffusion barriers between the copper and the silicon. Thirdly, an absence of large scale
plating equipment is no longer an issue as this work evaluates a high throughput commercial plating tool capable of
large-scale manufacturing. Thousands of full-sized cells have been fabricated using equipment that is commercially
available and suitable for large-scale manufacturing with efficiencies in the range 19-20%.

description: Scientific applications that involve simulation ensembles can be accelerated greatly by using experiment design methods to select the best simulations to perform. Methods that use machine learning (ML) to create proxy models of simulations show particular promise for guiding ensembles but are challenging to deploy because of the need to coordinate dynamic mixes of simulation and learning tasks. We present Colmena, an open-source Python framework that allows users to steer campaigns by providing just the implementations of individual tasks plus the logic used to choose which tasks to execute when. Colmena handles task dispatch, results collation, ML model invocation, and ML model (re)training, using Parsl to execute tasks on HPC systems. We describe the design of Colmena and illustrate its capabilities by applying it to electrolyte design, where it both scales to 65536 CPUs and accelerates the discovery rate for high-performance molecules by a factor of 100 over unguided searches.

description: The degree and severity of dark circles varies according to the skin type, age, and lifestyle. To evaluate different non-surgical treatment options for dark circles. In a private practice setting in the UK and India, 34 patients with dark circles with different Fitzpatrick skin types were treated with fillers (Group 1), lasers (Group 2), and fillers and lasers combined (Group 3). Pre and post treatment photos were taken and subjective and objective outcomes in appearance were reported. All treatment options were effective in all three groups with minimal side effects reported. No statistically significant difference was found between the three treatment groups. Patients who had tear troughs and/or hollow eyes responded well to fillers, patients with loose and wrinkled skin to CO2 laser, patients with tear troughs and hyperpigmentation to fillers, Q switched Nd:YAG and topical agents and patients with tear troughs and veins to fillers and long pulsed Nd:YAG lasers. Most patients (82%) rated the improvement in their appearance as excellent. All 3 treatment modalities were effective in the reduction of periorbital dark circles depending on underlying cause. Non-surgical treatments are capable of correcting and improving dark circles with minimum complications and downtime.

description: The inelastic collapse of stochastic trajectories of a randomly accelerated particle moving in half-space $z > 0$ has been discovered by McKean and then independently re-discovered by Cornell et. al. The essence of this phenomenon is that particle arrives to a wall at $z = 0$ with zero velocity after an infinite number of inelastic collisions if the restitution coefficient $β$ of particle velocity is smaller than the critical value $β_c=\exp(-π/\sqrt{3})$. We demonstrate that inelastic collapse takes place also in a wide class of models with spatially inhomogeneous random force and, what is more, that the critical value $β_c$ is universal. That class includes an important case of inertial particles in wall-bounded random flows. To establish how the inelastic collapse influence the particle distribution, we construct an exact equilibrium probability density function $ρ(z,v)$ for particle position and velocity. The equilibrium distribution exists only at $β

description: Aluminium foil in combination with laser fired contacts (FolMet) as rear side electrode for highly
efficient passivated emitter and rear cells (PERC) has proven a high efficiency potential of up to 21.3 % using an
optimized and simplified cell process. Two objectives towards industrialization are the acceleration of the laser
process and the feasibility of module assembly. An ultrafast polygon scanning system and comprehensive simulations
enabled process times tpro < 0.8 s for 156x156 mm² wafers, which corresponds to an acceleration of processing speed
by a factor of 20. An easy-to-apply possibility to realize the electrical interconnection between foil metallized cells, is
the single-side coating of the aluminium foil using a special treatment. This process could be carried out before the
foil attachment to the solar cell, which allows the usage of a fast and cheap role to role production tool. The created
soldering pads are compatible with conventional interconnection techniques and modules assembled with this
technique passed the humidity-freeze (HF10) and temperature-cycle (TC200) test successfully.

description: We address a three-tier numerical framework based on manifold learning for the forecasting of high-dimensional time series. At the first step, we embed the time series into a reduced low-dimensional space using a nonlinear manifold learning algorithm such as Locally Linear Embedding and Diffusion Maps. At the second step, we construct reduced-order regression models on the manifold, in particular Multivariate Autoregressive (MVAR) and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) models, to forecast the embedded dynamics. At the final step, we lift the embedded time series back to the original high-dimensional space using Radial Basis Functions interpolation and Geometric Harmonics. For our illustrations, we test the forecasting performance of the proposed numerical scheme with four sets of time series: three synthetic stochastic ones resembling EEG signals produced from linear and nonlinear stochastic models with different model orders, and one real-world data set containing daily time series of 10 key foreign exchange rates (FOREX) spanning the time period 03/09/2001-29/10/2020. The forecasting performance of the proposed numerical scheme is assessed using the combinations of manifold learning, modelling and lifting approaches. We also provide a comparison with the Principal Component Analysis algorithm as well as with the naive random walk model and the MVAR and GPR models trained and implemented directly in the high-dimensional space.

description: Methotrexate (MTX) is frequently used in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis, however, there is limited data on health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL), psoriasis clinical outcomes and hepatic fibrosis in MTX-treated patients in routine clinical practice. To investigate the impact of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in MTX-treated patients in Spain regarding to HRQoL, psoriasis clinical data and risk of hepatic fibrosis. Observational, non-interventional, cross-sectional, retrospective, multicentre study, performed in Spain in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients treated with MTX > 16 weeks prior to inclusion. Despite ongoing treatment, 17.1% of 457 evaluable patients reported moderate-to-extreme impact on HRQoL (DLQI > 5); 21.4% BSA > 5 and 35.2% moderate-to-severe pruritus (VAS ≥ 4). Persistent severe psoriasis (PASI ≥ 10 and/or DLQI ≥ 10) was observed in 10.7%. Hepatic steatosis was identified in 64.1% of patients (HSI ≥ 36) and 37.2% of the patients were at-risk of advanced fibrosis which was associated to the MTX treatment duration. The study identified unmet needs in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients treated with MTX, revealing a significant proportion of sub-optimally controlled patients in terms of HRQoL and different domains of the disease. This study also found patients at-risk of advanced fibrosis, with evidence suggesting a correlation between longer exposures to MTX and higher risk of advanced fibrosis.

description: Classical correlation can be locked via quantum means--quantum data locking. With a short secret key, one can lock an exponentially large amount of information, in order to make it inaccessible to unauthorized users without the key. Quantum data locking presents a resource-efficient alternative to one-time pad encryption which requires a key no shorter than the message. We report experimental demonstrations of quantum data locking scheme originally proposed by DiVincenzo et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 067902 (2004)] and a loss-tolerant scheme developed by Fawzi, Hayde, and Sen [J. ACM. 60, 44 (2013)]. We observe that the unlocked amount of information is larger than the key size in both experiments, exhibiting strong violation of the incremental proportionality property of classical information theory. As an application example, we show the successful transmission of a photo over a lossy channel with quantum data (un)locking and error correction.

description: Clean, multi-carrier Offshore Energy Hubs (OEHs) may become pivotal for efficient offshore wind power generation and distribution. In addition, OEHs may provide decarbonised energy supply for maritime transport, oil and gas recovery, and offshore farming while also enabling conversion and temporary storage of liquefied decarbonised energy carriers for export. Here, we investigate the role of OEHs in the transition of the Norwegian continental shelf energy system towards zero-emission energy supply. We develop a mixed-integer linear programming model for investment planning and operational optimisation to achieve decarbonisation at minimum costs. We consider clean technologies, including offshore wind, offshore solar, OEHs and subsea cables. We conduct sensitivity analysis on CO$_2$ tax, CO$_2$ budget and the capacity of power from shore. The results show that (a) a hard carbon cap is necessary for stimulating a zero-emission offshore energy system; (b) offshore wind integration and power from shore can more than halve current emissions, but OEHs with storage are necessary for zero-emission production and (c) at certain CO$_2$ tax levels, the system with OEHs can potentially reduce CO$_2$ emissions by 50% and energy losses by 10%, compared to a system with only offshore renewables, gas turbines and power from shore.

description: Reducing wafer thickness provides the most effective potential to lower the production cost of c-Si PV
modules. Two thin n-type solar cell concepts are compared in terms of their optical and electrical properties: a
monofacial device with a full-area metal surface at the rear which is beneficial in particular to such thin solar cells and a
very similar but even better industrially applicable bifacially collecting device.
The monofacial solar cell exhibits a 0.7 mA/cm2 higher jSC and 9 mV greater VOC due to better light trapping and less
recombination. Rseries and FF discrepancies of both solar cell concepts nearly compensate themselves which is revealed
by an Rseries itemization and FF loss analysis. The independently certified 20.1% efficiency of the monofacial solar cell
exceeds that of the bifacial rear junction device by 0.7%abs under one-sided illumination. However, since the bifacial solar
cells feature a very high bifaciality of 99.4%, a total power output comparable to a 23.4% efficient monofacial solar cell
can be achieved assuming a typical albedo of 20%.

description: IBC process development at imec has focused on upscaling from 2x2 cm2 to full area 15.6x15.6 cm2
cells, while making use of industrially viable processing techniques. First results were published recently, with a best
cell efficiency of 21.3%, limited by a FF of 77.4% due to high series resistance. The process flow to obtain this result
involved a 3 m thick sputtered aluminium metal layer, which is not straight forward from an industrial perspective
and not readily viable for module interconnection. We therefore developed a Cu-plated metallization for large area
IBC cells. This metallization is the topic of this work. We developed and studied a suitable thin sputtered seed layer
for the plating process, which serves as a barrier against Cu and which has good contact properties to Si. Sputtering
of various materials could cause damage to the underlying passivation layer and Si, at cell level leading to lower Voc
and pFF. The damage caused by the different layers is investigated in detail and the developed process is
implemented on 15.6x15.6 cm2 IBC cells which yields efficiencies up to 21.9% over the full wafer area of 239 cm2.

description: Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may lead to more rational use of biologics. Still, TDM is largely underexplored in psoriasis. Little is known about the dosing behavior of biologics by dermatologists, and their attitude toward TDM. Exploration of the awareness and need for the concept of TDM in psoriasis amongst (inter)national dermatologists. A survey was distributed at the Belgian Dermatology Days 2019 and Skin Inflammation & Psoriasis International Network (SPIN) Congress 2019. Next, an online survey version was launched amongst the SPIN Scientific Committee members. We collected physician’s characteristics, prescription behavior of biologics, data regarding clinical response to biologics and attitude toward TDM. A total of 107 surveys were included for analysis. Most dermatologists were Belgium-based (54.2%), others from European (23.4%) or non-European countries (19.6%). Seventy percent performed either dose increase (64.8%), time interval shortening (74.6%), dose lowering (16.9%) or time interval extension (33.8%). The majority who performed dose adaptations acknowledged the need for TDM. This study showed most dermatologists perform dose adaptations empirically. The need for TDM was indicated by the majority, implying the need for effective communication regarding availability, utility and implementation of TDM assays in daily dermatology practice.

description: We discuss the enhancements of firing stable fPassDop technology for n-type passivated emitter and
rear locally diffused (PERL) silicon solar cells. We investigate modifications of the SiNX based layer by adjusting the
nitrogen content. By modifying the passivation layer stack, we achieve higher doping concentrations after laser
doping, which is beneficial for rear electrode contact formation. We also show that we find less nitrogen in the point
contacts after laser processing when using the updated layer system. Solar cells results confirm these findings: those
using the adapted passivation layer, yield lower ohmic losses as well as less scattering in the fill factor. Cell
efficiencies of 20.9% and open circuit voltages of 672 mV are achieved.

description: Excerpts from the report: The Ashley-Combahee-Edisto (ACE) Basin is a triangular shaped area of 4,475,876 acres in southern South Carolina. The basin boundary can be defined roughly as a line from the Savannah Harbor, northwest to Batesburg, southeast to Charleston and then southwesterly along the coast back to the Savannah Harbor. Four counties (Bamberg, Beaufort, Colleton and Dorchester) are located entirely within the basin. Twelve other counties partially within the basin are Aiken, Allendale, Barnwell, Berkeley, Calhoun, Charleston, Edgefield, Hampton, Jasper, Lexington, Orangeburg and Saluda. The ACE Basin is bordered by the Santee Basin on the northeast, the Savannah Basin on the southwest, and the Atlantic Ocean on the southeast. Almost half of the area is drained by the Edisto River, 40 percent by the Combahee and other tidal rivers, and the remaining 10 percent by the Ashley River. These rivers represent individual hydrologic units draining into the Atlantic Ocean. The overall purpose of the study is directed toward improvement in the quality of life through contributions to the objectives of national economic development and environmental quality. Broadly, the objectives are to provide a guide for federal, state and local interests to conserve, develop and utilize their water and related land resources in an efficient and timely manner.

description: We compare the recombination properties of grain boundaries in conventionally-solidified p-type, ntype
and ‘high performance’ p-type multicrystalline silicon wafers in terms of their surface recombination velocities,
and evaluate their response to phosphorus gettering and hydrogenation. Overall, grain boundaries in the conventional
p-type samples were found to be more recombination active than those in the high performance p-type and
conventional n-type samples. As-grown grain boundaries in high performance multicrystalline silicon were not
recombination active and only became active after thermal processes. In contrast, grain boundaries in the n-type
samples were already recombination active in the as-grown state, but show a dramatic reduction in their
recombination strength after gettering and hydrogenation. Distinct sub-bandgap photoluminescence spectra were
detected from grain boundaries that are already active before gettering, and also those activated by gettering,
suggesting different origins for their recombination activities. Moreover, the detrimental influence of grain
boundaries on solar cell devices is discussed with the aid of numerical simulations.

description: Tightly-controlled dose reduction was possible during 1 year in psoriasis patients on adalimumab, etanercept or ustekinumab with low disease activity (CONDOR trial). Extended observation is needed to ensure long-term effectiveness and safety of the strategy. With prolonged follow-up, we investigated the clinical effects and safety of the strategy, the proportion of patients with successful dose reduction, and assessed if patients with a disease flare regained remission. Two-year follow up of a subgroup of patients previously included in a randomized pragmatic study comparing usual care (UC) with stepwise dose reduction (DR). Effectiveness (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, PASI), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), adverse events, proportion of patients with successful DR and proportion of persistent disease flares were analyzed. DR leads temporarily to a slightly increased PASI groupwise, but on the long-term patients regained low PASI. DLQI scores remained stable during follow-up. No serious adverse events due to DR were reported. Forty-one percent of patients remained on a low dose up to 2 years. The number of persistent flares was low in DR and UC. The proposed dose reduction strategy is effective for a significant part of patients and remains safe up to 2 years of follow-up.

description: In this paper we propose a novel image encryption scheme. The proposed method is based on the chaos theory. Our cryptosystem uses the chaos theory to define a dynamic chaotic Look-Up Table (LUT) to compute the new value of the current pixel to cipher. Applying this process on each pixel of the plain image, we generate the encrypted image. The results of different experimental tests, such as Key space analysis, Information Entropy and Histogram analysis, show that the proposed encryption image scheme seems to be protected against various attacks. A comparison between the plain and encrypted image, in terms of correlation coefficient, proves that the plain image is very different from the encrypted one.

description: RCT Solutions GmbH developed its PERCT process for application on standard multi crystalline ptype
wafer material as a cost effective alternative to the common AlOx based PERC technology. The PERCT cell
architecture is based on a “passivated emitter rear totally diffused (PERT)” cell design. The totally diffused BSF is
realized by a fast and cost effective BBr3 boron diffusion step in a standard diffusion tube furnace - prior to the back
side passivation and protection by a PECVD SiN. No AlOx is used.
A unique feature of this technology, enabled by the conductivity of the boron-diffused layer, is the option to prepare
bifacial multi crystalline solar cells with a screen printed finger grid on the rear side. Particularly for mc-Si the
availability of processes for the preparation of bifacial cells is very limited.
In this paper we report about the latest results from trials in industrial production lines with both cell types – single
facial and bifacial PERCT, but with a focus on bifacial cells. While the bifacial solar cell type was for the first time
processed in a purely industrial environment, the trials with the single facial cells were continued with further
improved efficiencies. Additionally the cost analysis of mc-Si bifacial solar cells has been refined and shows the
lowest system cost compared to other bifacial solar cell types.
For the single facial PERCT cells a top average efficiency of 18.7% and a 19.0% maximum efficiency for best cells
was obtained. Bifacial solar cells reached a top average efficiency of 18.3% and a maximum efficiency of 18.6%
(rear side 15.3%) measured on a conventional black chuck.

description: We attempted to clarify the impact of grain boundaries (GBs) types in multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si)
on the efficiency of external and internal gettering of impurities during phosphorus diffusion gettering (PDG). We
utilized seed crystals with an artificially designed GB configuration to grow the mc-Si ingots with different artificial
GB characters. PDG was combined with originally developed multiple-cycle gettering technique at a low-temperature
to enhance external and internal gettering. As a result, a significant positive PDG effect was found when PDG with
multiple-cycle technique was used, as can be seen by an increase in lifetimes after PDG. A bright cloud-like
photoluminescence (PL) signal around contaminated GBs was observed for artificial 5 and tilt GBs after PDG,
showing that internal gettering efficiency was enhanced, leaving a cleaner area around them. This result suggests the
importance of control of crystal defect character as well as impurities in mc-Si ingot which could strongly affect the
PDG efficiency.

description: Response to treatments in psoriasis can be assessed using the PASI response 50, 75, 90 or 100. Achieving a PASI 100 response would mean a complete resolution of the patient's basal lesions. Therefore, PASI 100 score has been increasingly used in the context of research, but its role in daily practice is currently controversial. (1) To analyze PASI 100 response rates to pharmacological treatments; (2) To examine clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) recommendations/comments on PASI 100. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR). Selection criteria concerned patients with psoriasis, reporting PASI 100. Overall, 65 studies were included. Patients on methotrexate achieved at 16 weeks a PASI 100 of 7.3%. For TNF inhibitors rates were: 3.7–11.1% at 12 weeks, 13.7–20% at 16 weeks, 10.7–24% at 24 weeks and 21.8–34.8% at 1 year. IL-17 inhibitors achieved 23.3–44% at 12 weeks, 44.3–57.2% at 16 weeks, 39.7–67.5% at 24 weeks and 41.4–67.5% at 1 year. And the reported by IL-12/23 inhibitors were 12%/23.8% at 12 weeks, 32.7%/50% at 16 weeks, 44% at 24 weeks and 41.8%/56.3% at 1 year. PASI 100 response is scarcely commented in the CPGs. PASI 100 response rate is an endpoint fundamentally restricted to research.
Different coefficients for studying dependence

description: Through computer simulations, we research several different measures of dependence, including Pearson's and Spearman's correlation coefficients, the maximal correlation, the distance correlation, a function of the mutual information called the information coefficient of correlation, and the maximal information coefficient (MIC). We compare how well these coefficients fulfill the criteria of generality, power, and equitability. Furthermore, we consider how the exact type of dependence, the amount of noise and the number of observations affect their performance.

description: This study aimed to elicit preferences for psoriasis treatment features and to test for preference heterogeneity across groups of respondents. A discrete-choice experiment was employed to elicit preferences of patients with plaque psoriasis in multiple countries. The survey instrument included a series of choice questions between three hypothetical treatments, each characterized by varying levels of six attributes (namely, lesion reduction, risk of impairing side effects, time to reach results, mode and frequency of administration, itching reduction, and side effects). Random parameters logit was used to model the data. Results were compared across a total of 18 subgroup sets. The data analysis from 1,123 respondents showed that, on average, respondents receive more utility gain from higher levels of lesion reduction and lower risks of impairing side effects than changes in other attributes included in the study. Systematic differences were detected for 13 sets; the most pronounced differences were observed based on disease severity, nail psoriasis, biologic experience, and quality-of-life scores. These many sources of preference heterogeneity identified by our analysis suggest that to improve patient satisfaction and, probably, adherence and persistence, clinicians should discuss options with patients when prescribing their treatment.

description: The electron shear viscosity due to Coulomb scattering of degenerate electrons by atomic nuclei throughout a magnetized neutron star crust is calculated. The theory is based on the shear viscosity coefficient calculated neglecting magnetic fields but taking into account gaseous, liquid and solid states of atomic nuclei, multiphonon scattering processes, and finite sizes of the nuclei albeit neglecting the effects of electron band structure. The effects of strong magnetic fields are included in the relaxation time approximation with the effective electron relaxation time taken from the field-free theory. The viscosity in a magnetized matter is described by five shear viscosity coefficients. They are calculated and their dependence on the magnetic field and other parameters of dense matter is analyzed. Possible applications and open problems are outlined.

description: n-type silicon solar cell designs for high-efficiency commonly incorporate boron emitter formation.
PECV-deposited boron diffusion sources are an alternative to primarily used boron gas diffusion sources. CVD layers
are multi-functional allowing for diffusion of boron, surface passivation and contact formation by one single layer. In
this case, these BSG layers are applied in a co-diffused cell design for screen-printed contacts. Reaching iVOC values
of over 660 mV as ARC layers, BSG layers are shown to be capable to support the contact formation of commercial
Ag pastes to boron emitters at standard firing conditions. An analysis of the contact resistivity as well as the contact
formation by SEM is conducted to verify the high quality of the screen-printed contact.
