description: Transparent conducting polymer films are used to attach current collecting grid of wire to silicon solar
cell surface covered by antireflection TCO layer in Laminated Grid Solar Cell (LGCell) construction during low
temperature lamination step. Application of the most transparent among the tested conductive thermoreactive
polymers based on polydifenylenephthalide (composition PS08) in LGCell contact system leaded to the increase of
spectral response and higher stability of LGCell construction to the UVA illumination. Now another type of
conductive polymers - thermoplastics (polyarilenesterketones) with softening point above 160°C are considered as
possible candidate to form stable LGCell current collecting system. A new synthesized polymer VS152 shows low
contact resistivity in the system Metal /VS152/ TCO (0.2÷0.5 mΩ·cm2) but has worse transparency. Bifacial LGCells
with transparent conducting polymers PS08 and VS152 are made on the similar IFO/(n+pp+)Cz-Si/ITO structures.
Also for the first time PS08 polymer is used to produce LGCells on laser textured mc-Si with pillar array structures
with aspect ratio in the range of ≥3 (depth to width). Polymer solution effectively fills the cavities on the extended
surface and provides excellent optical and electrical properties of LGCells.

description: This study examines how the recent introduction of translation memory (TM) software in undergraduate translation classrooms in Chile may have an impact on the quality and readers’ reception of scientific translations produced by student translators. To achieve this aim, the study was conducted in three stages: a corpus-based study determined specific linguistic features of research article abstracts in conservation biology written in English and Spanish; a translation experiment looked at how these features are represented in translations by trainee translators using TM tools; and a reception study evaluated specialist readers’ responses to TM-mediated scientific translation. The thesis concludes with recommendations on how its findings—informed by recent industry developments—could be applied in the Chilean translator education context.

description: We present the upGREAT THz heterodyne arrays for far-infrared astronomy. The Low Frequency Array (LFA) is designed to cover the 1.9-2.5 THz range using 2x7-pixel waveguide-based HEB mixer arrays in a dual polarization configuration. The High Frequency Array (HFA) will perform observations of the [OI] line at ~4.745 THz using a 7-pixel waveguide-based HEB mixer array. This paper describes the common design for both arrays, cooled to 4.5 K using closed- cycle pulse tube technology. We then show the laboratory and telescope characterization of the first array with its 14 pixels (LFA), which culminated in the successful commissioning in May 2015 aboard the SOFIA airborne observatory observing the [CII] fine structure transition at 1.905 THz. This is the first successful demonstration of astronomical observations with a heterodyne focal plane array above 1 THz and is also the first time high- power closed-cycle coolers for temperatures below 4.5 K are operated on an airborne platform.

description: Newly fluorine-containing acrylate compositions for AR coating (the laboratory codename: F-Lucid) are
developed at very low costs. The AR layers can be manufactured in flat and textured patterns using ordinary processes.
The flat AR layer is not porous structure and has a good antifouling property. The flat layer shows 2% of enhancement of
light trapping, and the long-tem reliability tests show that the initial performances are sustained after the loads corresponding
to 30 years. The textured AR layer can be formed on the flat AR layer. The textured AR layer needs some optimizations
but is expected to enhance the AR effect further (4-5%).

description: Transparent conducting oxide (TCO) is one of the key components in photovoltaic and display applications.
One candidate to replace indium tin oxide as TCO material is tin oxide. It is stable at high temperature, economical to
produce and more benign compared to other TCO materials. The bulk resistivity of tin oxide films deposited with
conventional methods (PECVD, spray pyrolysis, atmospheric pressure CVD) reaches as low as 5x10-4 Ohm-cm. However,
the deposition temperature is typically above 350°C which limits temperature sensitive processes such as quantum dots based
solar cells or large area plastic substrates. We developed a novel PECVD system to deposit tin oxide at lower temperature
(below 130°C) while achieving good conductivity. Our tin oxide films have bulk resistivity of 2.18x10-3 Ohm-cm at 130°C
which is lower than conventionally deposited films at the same process temperature. Furthermore, the linear PECVD source
used in this process is scalable to several meter-wide web substrates with film uniformity better than 3%. The deposition rate
is typically 200-300 nm-meter/minute. In the present work, we will discuss the PECVD source used in the process, electrical
property (carrier concentration and mobility), optical property and microstructure of the deposited tin oxide based TCO.

description: Electroless nickel plating is a very promising process for metallization of silicon solar cells. It can be
used as a seed layer for an electrolytic deposition of copper because it ensures the required adherence, a low contact
resistance and prevent copper from diffusing into the silicon. Two nickel plating methods are studied. The first one
consists on a selective electroless nickel-phosphorous deposition from an alkaline bath containing sodium
hypophosphite as a reducing agent and ammonia for pH control. The second process called “Dynamic Chemical
Plating” developed by Stremsdoerfer & al. is a new direct plating industrially carried out by Jet Metal Technologies
company. This paper presents results of experiments on the properties of these nickel deposits. Observations with a
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) permit to check the quality of the deposits. Then, thin nickel layers of about
0.1 μm on silicon are annealed under different conditions by Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) and Rutherford
Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) is used to obtain information on silicide formation versus temperature. These
results are correlated with contact resistivity measurements by Transmission Line Model (TLM). Typical contact
resistivity of 10-4 Ω.cm2 is obtained.

description: Using a polaron master equation approach we investigate the resonance fluorescence spectra from coherently driven quantum dots (QDs) coupled to an acoustic phonon bath and a photonic crystal waveguide with a rich local density of photon states (LDOS). Resonance fluorescence spectra from QDs in semiconductor crystals are known to show strong signatures of electron-phonon interactions, but when coupled to a structured photonic reservoir, the QD emission properties are also determined by the frequency dependence of the LDOS of the photon reservoir. Here, we investigate the simultaneous role of coupled photon and phonon baths on the characteristic Mollow triplet spectra from a strongly driven QD. As an example structured photonic reservoir, we first study a photonic crystal coupled cavity waveguide, and find that photons and phonons have counter-interacting effects near the upper mode-edge of the coupled-cavity waveguide, thus establishing the importance of their separate roles in determining the emission spectra. The general theory is developed for arbitrary photonic reservoirs and is further applied to determine resonance the fluorescence spectra from a realistic, disordered W1 photonic crystal waveguide showing important photon-phonon interaction effects that are directly relevant to emerging experiments and theoretical proposals.

description: We present results of an extensive passivation study of p, n and p+ -Si surfaces by amorphous films of
silicon carbide (a-SiCx:H, or SiCx), compared to films of silicon nitride (a-SiNx:H, or SiNx) and silicon oxinitride (a-
SiOxNy:H, or SiOxNy). All films were deposited in an industrial low-frequency direct plasma enhanced chemical
vapour deposition (LF-PECVD) system. The properties of the SiCx-films and their dependency on a wide range of
parameters that have been varied in this study differ from those in previous publications on SiCx from high-frequency
(HF) PEVCD[1-3]. A SiOxNy/SiNx -stack, deposited for comparison, yields, to our knowledge, the best passivation of
p-Si surfaces by LF-PECVD films published so far.

description: This study aims at a better understanding of the annealing temperature dependant electronic surface
passivation of silicon wafers by thin amorphous hydrogenated silicon carbide (a-Si1-xCx:H) layers. Depending on the
methane-to-silane gas flow ratio during deposition, and therefore on the carbon content of the a-Si1-xCx:H layers, the
annealed amorphous layers yield excellent effective surface recombination velocities Seff < 11 cm/s on monocrystalline
silicon lifetime wafers up to annealing temperatures Tan = 600 °C. Infrared absorption spectroscopy
reveals the correlation between electronic passivation and temperature dependant Si-H bonding configurations in the
amorphous layers. A detailed analysis of monohydride and void-related Si-H configurations quantifies the effects of
microvoids and the corresponding hydrogen transport, and thereby enables a qualitative forecast of the temperature
dependant electronic surface passivation.

description: In order to enhance photon transmission into multicrystalline silicon solar cells, double-layer antireflection
coatings (ARC) were simulated using the measured optical constants of hydrogenated silicon oxynitride
SiOxNy:H and hydrogenated silicon nitride SiNx:H layers deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition
(PECVD). On polished surfaces, these optimized structures have the potential to increase the short-circuit current by
more than 2% for non-encapsulated cells and up to 0.5% for encapsulated cells, in comparison with the standard single
SiNx:H ARC. Industrial multicrystalline silicon solar cells were fabricated in order to validate the simulations. In
spite of an inhomogeneous NaOH textured surface, the short-circuit current have shown an increase up to 2.3%,
which highlights the potential of such structures for laboratory high-efficiency solar cells.

description: Microaggregation is a technique for disclosure limitation aimed at protecting the privacy of data subjects in microdata releases. It has been used as an alternative to generalization and suppression to generate $k$-anonymous data sets, where the identity of each subject is hidden within a group of $k$ subjects. Unlike generalization, microaggregation perturbs the data and this additional masking freedom allows improving data utility in several ways, such as increasing data granularity, reducing the impact of outliers and avoiding discretization of numerical data. $k$-Anonymity, on the other side, does not protect against attribute disclosure, which occurs if the variability of the confidential values in a group of $k$ subjects is too small. To address this issue, several refinements of $k$-anonymity have been proposed, among which $t$-closeness stands out as providing one of the strictest privacy guarantees. Existing algorithms to generate $t$-close data sets are based on generalization and suppression (they are extensions of $k$-anonymization algorithms based on the same principles). This paper proposes and shows how to use microaggregation to generate $k$-anonymous $t$-close data sets. The advantages of microaggregation are analyzed, and then several microaggregation algorithms for $k$-anonymous $t$-closeness are presented and empirically evaluated.

description: This article presents a method developed for carrying out the energy production estimation considering
the energy losses in different components of a photovoltaic (PV) system and its downtime effect. The studied system
is a grid-connected photovoltaic system including PV modules, wires and inverter. PV systems are sensitive to
environmental conditions (UV radiation, temperature, humidity…) and all components are subjected to electrical
losses. The proposal method allows obtaining the production of photovoltaic system and its availability during a
specified period using meteorological data. The calculation of the production takes into account the downtime
because no energy is delivered in the grid during this period. The time-to-failure and the time to repair of
photovoltaic system are considered following a Weibull distribution. This method permits to have a best estimation
of the production throughout the lifetime of the photovoltaic system.

description: Combined relativistic configuration interaction and many-body perturbation calculations are performed for the 359 fine-structure levels of the $2s^2 2p^3$, $2s 2p^4$, $2p^5$, $2s^2 2p^2 3l$, $2s 2p^3 3l$, $2p^4 3l$, and $2s^2 2p^2 4l$ configurations in N-like ions from Ar XII to Zn XXIV. A complete and consistent data set of energies, wavelengths, radiative rates, oscillator strengths, and line strengths for all possible electric dipole, magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, and magnetic quadrupole transitions among the 359 levels are given for each ion. The present work significantly increases the amount of accurate data for ions in the nitrogen-like sequence, and the accuracy of the energy levels is high enough to serve identification and interpretation of observed spectra involving the $n=3,4$ levels, for which the experimental values are largely scarce. Meanwhile, the results should be of great help in modeling and diagnosing astrophysical and fusion plasmas.

description: The need for increased penetration of Renewable Energy Sources and gradual decarbonisation of
the energy supply chain is well established. Photovoltaic (PV) technology is constantly emerging as a key player
in the green energy generation market. Numerous PV technologies are competing for market share, making the
choice of the most suitable type of equipment essential for the viability of any application. In this study the reallife
performance of four different PV technologies in actual southern Mediterranean climatic conditions was
examined. A quality check of the recorded data throughout the monitoring period was carried out, followed by
the calculation of the performance indices proposed by the IEC 61724 international standard on PV system
performance monitoring and analysis. The outdoor evaluation has shown that grid-connected PV systems can
have a major impact on the future energy mix of countries with high solar resources. The module technology that
will claim a leading role in the PV industry will depend almost entirely on the future trends of manufacturing and
production costs as well as, the BoS costs related to the final installation.

description: A two-stage all-solution electrochemical process has been developed to etch a wave-like surface microstructure in
titanium film without using lithography. The target application is solar cell substrates where multiple reflections within
the microstructure can more than double the device efficiency. The benefit is most significant in designs that employ a
very thin photoactive layer that achieves high quantum efficiency, meaning light that is not utilised in the energy
conversion process is reflected rather than absorbed. A candidate solar cell with a titanium / titanium-dioxide / gold /
photoreceptor layer structure has recently been reported. Titanium and titanium oxides are receiving increased attention
as substrate materials in new solar cell and photocatalysis designs primarily because of their photoactive properties,
appropriate band structure, and chemical stability.

description: Often pv systems run without detailed monitoring or maintenance. In combination with the outdoor
exposure, safety of the system is very important. Different protective concepts can be used for grounded pv systems
(grounding of one pole). The idea of this work is, to give a common understanding about grounded systems and to
improve safety of installed systems. The result can be used for the improvement of grounded systems and existing
standards. With help of relevant fault scenarios the critical details of each solution are disclosed. The investigation
has revealed, what is necessary for an effective grounding and what is needed to ensure safety precautions.
The comparison has shown that each concept offers a certain level of safety, but there is still potential for
improvements in safety issues. The advancement of grounded systems has a share in the dissemination of pv systems
by reducing concerns about safety.

description: We present the FARGO3D code, recently publicly released. It is a magnetohydrodynamics code developed with special emphasis on protoplanetary disks physics and planet-disk interactions, and parallelized with MPI. The hydrodynamics algorithms are based on finite difference upwind, dimensionally split methods. The magnetohydrodynamics algorithms consist of the constrained transport method to preserve the divergence-free property of the magnetic field to machine accuracy, coupled to a method of characteristics for the evaluation of electromotive forces and Lorentz forces. Orbital advection is implemented, and an N-body solver is included to simulate planets or stars interacting with the gas. We present our implementation in detail and present a number of widely known tests for comparison purposes. One strength of FARGO3D is that it can run on both "Graphical Processing Units" (GPUs) or "Central Processing unit" (CPUs), achieving large speed up with respect to CPU cores. We describe our implementation choices, which allow a user with no prior knowledge of GPU programming to develop new routines for the CPU, and have them translated automatically for the GPU.

description: 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 4405-4408
description: In most countries solar radiation demonstrates variation in daily, monthly and yearly cycles.
This fact forces autonomic photovoltaic systems designers to increase the number of modules, increase the regulator
power and battery capacity, therefore raising the PV installation cost.
To overcome these problems hybrid photovoltaic systems are used. In these systems PV modules are combined with
other generators, mostly combustion engines.
In this article the authors present a solution in which the additional generator is a commercially available fuel cell
powered by methanol. For a significant improvement of the system’s effectiveness, especially in winter conditions or
in case of a deep battery discharge, using of MPPT controller was suggested and discussed.
The authors also analyzed the possibility of furnishing the system with a battery of super capacitors, that allows high,
instant current output.
Application areas were discussed, especially in water and air pollution monitoring systems as well as in signalization
and lighting equipment.
Binary Formation in the Orion Nebula Cluster: Investigating the Stellar and Sub-Stellar Population

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: We present results constraining multiplicity demographics for the stellar and sub-stellar population of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC), across primary masses 0.012 - 0.7 Msun. Our study utilizes archival Hubble Space Telescope data obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys. Studying the companion populations of young, star-forming regions provides valuable constraints of how the birth environment affects multiple formation and evolution. Previous multiplicity surveys in Taurus, a low-density association, identify a companion frequency (CF) to low-mass stars twice that of the Galactic field, over all mass ratios and 3-5000 au. Our study explores multiplicity in the ONC, a high density region where dynamics are more likely to impact the companion population. Our study is sensitive to companions beyond 10 au (0.025”, 0.5λ/D at 555nm) using a double point-spread function (PSF) fitting algorithm with empirical, position-dependent PSF models. We identified 51 companions in total. We found: 1) the CF of low-mass stars in the ONC is consistent with the Galactic field, in contrast to the higher CF found in low-density regions, 2) the power-law fit to the mass ratio distribution of low-mass stellar primaries in the ONC is consistent with that of the field and Taurus, potentially indicative of a universal formation mechanism, and 3) the CF to brown dwarfs for separations > 20 au in the ONC is in excess of the field, requiring further dynamical evolution to resemble the field.

The experiments were performed under constant applied RF (13.56 MHz) voltage and the electrical diagnostics were used for studying the effect of pressure on the coupling between the RF generator and the plasma and on the discharge microscopic parameters as electron density and temperature, and electric field intensity. The emission measurements were implemented in order to monitor variations in the electron heating mechanism and excitation rates. A significant change of the electron heating mechanism was found for pressures higher than 1 Torr and the beneficial effect of the total gas pressure on either film growth rate or crystallinity is discussed in relation to this change.

description: We re-examine a closed-string model defined by altering the boundary conditions for one handedness of two-dimensional propagators in otherwise-standard string theory. We evaluate the amplitudes using Kawai-Lewellen-Tye factorization into open-string amplitudes. The only modification to standard string theory is effectively that the spacetime Minkowski metric changes overall sign in one open-string factor. This cancels all but a finite number of states: As found in earlier approaches, with enough supersymmetry (e.g., type II) the tree amplitudes reproduce those of the massless truncation of ordinary string theory. However, we now find for the other cases that additional fields, formerly thought to be auxiliary, describe new spin-2 states at the two adjacent mass levels (tachyonic and tardyonic). The tachyon is always a ghost, but can be avoided in the heterotic case.

description: As influential canonical postmodern erotic lesbian novels, Jeanette Winterson’s Written on the Body, Emma Donoghue’s Hood, and Sarah Waters’ Tipping the Velvet are mostly analysed for lesbian eroticism via devices of anti-binarism and structure, but not aspects of style. This thesis begins with a literature review and literary history which introduces the issue of the relationship between lesbian eroticism and literary style in lesbian literary criticism. The three subsequent textual analysis chapters form case studies arguing that the criticism of these novels has overlooked the aesthetic significance of a lesbian eroticism of style.

description: The use of DC-DC converters with maximum power point tracking (MPPT)at module level—named MPPT
modules—allow the individual adaptation of each panel to the load. In a series array, MPPT modules solve part of the
problems due to shading, mismatch, different tilt angles, and hot-spots. This is particularly relevant in Building
Integrated Photovoltaic Systems (BIPV).The converter analyzed in this paper is a new prototype developed by
Robotiker-Tecnalia and evaluated by the Instituto de Energía Solar (IES) under the Spanish project INTEGRA FV.
The DC-DC converter has been characterized and an improved efficiency is observed. Different shades have been
applied on a seven module generator and, the power gains obtained by using MPPT modules and hot-spot behavior
are presented. Preliminary daily analysis, at a naturally shaded solar home, has also been carried out to obtain energy
gains, although, due to the converter efficiency a daily energy gain is still not still observed in this system. Finally a
theoretical equation to evaluate the energy gain on a particular system is presented.

description: Learning to read in Chinese poses unique challenges due to the nature of the Chinese writing system. This study examined the reading process for second language and heritage language learners studying Chinese in Australia, with either intermediate or advanced competence. It explored reading problems and problem-solving strategies, and the differences and similarities between the groups. Both second language and heritage learners had difficulty with character and word recognition. However, heritage learners were able to draw on superior underlying linguistic knowledge, and faced fewer problems related to cultural knowledge than the second language learners.

description: Network Virtualization is one of the key technologies for developing the future mobile networks. However, the performance of virtual mobile entities may not be sufficient for delivering the service required for future networks in terms of throughput or service time. In addition, to take advantage of the virtualization capabilities, a criterion to decide when to scale out the number of instances is a must. In this paper we propose an LTE virtualized Mobility Management Entity queue model to evaluate its service time for a given signaling workload. The estimation of this latency can serve to decide how many processing instances should be deployed to provide a target service. Additionally, we provide a compound data traffic model for the future mobile applications, and we predict theoretically the control workload that it will generate. Finally, we evaluate the virtualized Mobility Management Entity overall delay by simulation, providing insights for selecting the number of virtual instances for a given number of users.

description: The acceptance to install east-west oriented photovoltaic (PV) systems was rather subdued in the past.
But nowadays the interest to mount PV systems on east-west roofs increases steadily. Although south orientation is
more ideal, east-west oriented PV systems can generate substantial earnings as well. Moreover, due to the sharp drop
in module prices increased demands for east-west plants are expected in the future. From the perspective of grid
operators east-west oriented PV systems are desirable compared to south oriented PV systems because the energy is
fed-in more evenly throughout the day, power peaks can be reduced and thus relieving the grid. Up to now it was
assumed that east-west oriented PV systems require inverters for both orientations or at least one inverter with more
MPP-Trackers (Maximum Power Point) to avoid mismatching losses. This paper will show an analysis of east-west
oriented PV systems connected to one MPP-Tracker and demonstrate a high performance of such systems.
Friends and Heroes - Nietzsche's Agonistic Ethics
Creators: name: NEIL BRADLEY DURRANT
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: This thesis examines Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy and how he incorporates the idea of contest into ethics based on his reading of Homeric philosophical themes. I propose that Nietzsche's idea of higher friendship provides an alternative framing for ethics to traditional themes such as love and compassion. He incorporates adversarial behaviours into higher friendship as a way to enhance personal flourishing, emphasising the abundance of the individuals and the importance of maintaining and enhancing individual difference.
Towards a more successful school-university transition: Insights from a case study

description: There is increasing concern amongst parents and educators at the level of dropout and underachievement of school leavers during their first-year of university education (e.g., Gardner, 1996; Nunley & Gemberling, 1999). In this research, a case study of one school and one university was undertaken. Specifically, the preparedness of Grade 12 graduates, from the selected school, for university study was assessed. A multiparadigmatic lens was used as a theoretical grounding for the implementation of this research. Data collection for this case study was through participant observation and written questionnaire. Consistent with the eclectic basis of this research, empirical, interpretive, and critical reasoning informed the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative findings. Importantly, this study has created new knowledge regarding the future empowerment of university -bound school students. It is the principal finding of this research that many university -bound Grade 12 students are lacking in the appropriate skills required to smoothly navigate the transition between high school and university. Specifically, the school in this case study failed to equip students with the appropriate academic skills and techniques required in order for students to reach their academic potential during the first semester of university study. This research proposes some answers to and paves the way for the development of new educational initiatives within the area of school/university transition. Within the current educational climate this research is timely and implores the stakeholders in both senior secondary schooling and first -year university education to unite and assume responsibility for providing the best possible future life chances for Australia's youth. One possibility discussed is an enrichment of symbiotic partnerships between schools and universities.

description: Blind quantum computing allows for secure cloud networks of quasi-classical clients and a fully fledged quantum server. Recently, a new protocol has been proposed, which requires a client to perform only measurements. We demonstrate a proof-of-principle implementation of this measurement-only blind quantum computing, exploiting a photonic setup to generate four-qubit cluster states for computation and verification. Feasible technological requirements for the client and the device-independent blindness make this scheme very applicable for future secure quantum networks.

description: We give a new proof of the Brawley-Carlitz theorem on irreducibility of the composed products of irreducible polynomials. Our proof shows that associativity of the binary operation for the composed product is not necessary. We then investigate binary operations defined by polynomial functions, and give a sufficient condition in terms of degrees for the requirement in the Brawley-Carlitz theorem.

description: This research concerns usage of strategic messages by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in its English-language communications about China’s foreign policy, as conveyed via Xinhua. Message usage in Xinhua was tracked over 11 years (2008-2018) with a focus on events, inside and outside of China, that influenced these messages. Analysis revealed that the CCP is not just focused on ‘telling its story’, but also on having its rhetoric adopted in international agreements and suppressing counter-narratives. This thesis sheds new light on what CCP leadership seeks to communicate and why, and about internal and external factors influencing their foreign policy thinking.
