description: We consider the problem of estimating the distance, or range, between two locations by measuring the phase of multiple sinusoidal signals transmitted between the locations. Traditional estimators developed for optical interferometry include the beat wavelength and excess fractions methods. More recently, estimators based on the Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) and least squares have appeared. Recent research suggests the least squares estimator to be most accurate in many cases. The accuracy of all of these range estimators depends upon the wavelengths chosen. This leads to the problem of selecting wavelengths that maximise accuracy. Procedures for selecting wavelengths for the beat wavelength and excess fractions methods have previously been described, but procedures for the CRT and least squares estimators are yet to be developed. In this paper we develop an algorithm to automatically select wavelengths for use with the least square range estimator. The algorithm minimises an optimisation criterion connected with the mean square error. Interesting properties of a particular class of lattices simplify the criterion allowing minimisation by depth first search. Monte-Carlo simulations indicate that wavelengths that minimise the criterion can result is considerably more accurate range estimates than wavelengths selected by ad hoc means.

description: A preliminary market study has been carried out in 2 010 to approach the potential that a group of five
countries in the Masreq area have regarding the development of photovoltaic (PV) projects that could attract EU
private investment. The countries studied were: Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Syria and Palestine.
Technical and economic aspects of each country have been analyzed using a benchmarking methodology in order to
obtain a summarized vision of the current state and future development prospects of PV in each country.
Two main areas, “Potential PV sector development” and “Regulatory environment” have been benchmarked,
including several aspects ranked in a scale of 0 (minimum) to 5 (maximum). A global score for each main area is
calculated with a weighted average of the aspects’ ranks.
This study was funded by ACC1Ó (Catalan business competitiveness support agency) and the programme Invest in

description: This paper addresses three independent approaches to improving the performance of Micromorph®
tandem
solar cells: 1. Thinner cells for higher throughput in mass-production, 2. Optimum cell design and processes yielding stable
efficiencies of 11.5% on as-grown ZnO front contact, and finally 3. The introduction of novel textured glass substrates
prepared by Corning Incorporated to improve light-management. As a result of the joint research between Oerlikon Solar-
Lab and Corning Incorporated, a Micromorph®
tandem cell with no anti-reflection coating demonstrated a stable efficiency
of 11.9% as independently measured by NREL. This third result represents a new milestone for thin film silicon solar cell
technology which is 8% higher than one year ago. Combinations of these improvements are expected to enable cell
efficiencies of 12.5% and beyond.

description: Tremendous progress has been realized in quantum optics for engineering and detecting the quantum properties of light. Today, photon pairs are routinely created in entangled states. Entanglement is revealed using single-photon detectors in which a single photon triggers an avalanche current. The resulting signal is then processed and stored in a computer. Here, we propose an approach to get rid of all the electronic devices between the photons and the experimentalist i.e. to use the experimentalist's eye to detect entanglement. We show in particular, that the micro entanglement that is produced by sending a single photon into a beam-splitter can be detected with the eye using the magnifying glass of a displacement in phase space. The feasibility study convincingly demonstrates the possibility to realize the first experiment where entanglement is observed with the eye.

description: Oxygen is an impurity in PV-Si which is known to affect the quality of the final solar cells. There are several
sources of oxygen during casting of multicrystalline silicon, e.g. crucible, coating and feedstock materials. Oxygen is
known to form defects and complexes, e.g. thermal donors, CO and BO complexes.
In this work four multicrystalline silicon ingots cast in silicon nitride crucibles were made in a directional solidification
pilot-scale furnace. A model for distribution of oxygen in directionally solidified silicon is presented where evaporation
has been included. The model is compared to the FTIR measurements of interstitial oxygen in the final ingots and are
in good agreement.

description: Since silicon is still the dominant material in photovoltaic devices and the market of PV applications is
growing, the demand for silicon feedstock is expected to be high in the near future. Although attempts have been made
to develop economic processes for solar-grade silicon (SoG-Si) production, Siemens process is still the main production
method. This process has high cost and potential environmental pollution and therefore developing new rutes for SoG-Si
feedstock production is required. Regarding the initial silicon production in electric furnace, the most economic way for
silicon purification may be its processing in the liquid state. Vacuum refining of molten silicon is a process that can be
applied to remove volatile elements from liquid silicon. In the present study, the removal of impurities from different
liquid silicon melts is studied by vacuum induction experiments at 1600 ºC and under 1 Pa pressure. The vacuum removal
of the solute impurities such as P, Al, Ca, and Mn are evaluated through the ICP-MS analysis of the refined silicon. In
particular, the elimination of phosphorus, which is always a problematic element in SoG-Si production processes, is
studied. It is indicated that the kinetics of the volatile elements removal is affected by the initial chemical composition of
the silicon melt. In particular, phosphorus removal from Si-P and Si-Fe-P melts is higher than the melts containing more
impurities such as Metallurgical Grade silicon (MG-Si).

description: Computerized Evaluation of English Essays is performed using Machine learning techniques like Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), Generalized LSA, Bilingual Evaluation Understudy and Maximum Entropy. Ontology, a concept map of domain knowledge, can enhance the performance of these techniques. Use of Ontology makes the evaluation process holistic as presence of keywords, synonyms, the right word combination and coverage of concepts can be checked. In this paper, the above mentioned techniques are implemented both with and without Ontology and tested on common input data consisting of technical answers of Computer Science. Domain Ontology of Computer Graphics is designed and developed. The software used for implementation includes Java Programming Language and tools such as MATLAB, Protégé, etc. Ten questions from Computer Graphics with sixty answers for each question are used for testing. The results are analyzed and it is concluded that the results are more accurate with use of Ontology.

description: This study examines the traditional approach to software development within the United Kingdom Government and the accreditation process. Initially we look at the Waterfall methodology that has been used for several years. We discuss the pros and cons of Waterfall before moving onto the Agile Scrum methodology. Agile has been adopted by the majority of Government digital departments including the Government Digital Services. Agile, despite its ability to achieve high rates of productivity organized in short, flexible, iterations, has faced security professionals disbelief when working within the U.K. Government. One of the major issues is that we develop in Agile but the accreditation process is conducted using Waterfall resulting in delays to go live dates. Taking a brief look into the accreditation process that is used within Government for I.T. systems and applications, we focus on giving the accreditor the assurance they need when developing new applications and systems. A framework has been produced by utilizing the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS). This framework will allow security and Agile to work side by side and produce secure code.

description: Investigations with optical microscope and SEM have been carried out in order to study the microstructure
of silicon wafers from the bottom parts of a silicon block, where the main focus was to study dislocation formation at
∑=27a boundaries. A ∑=27a boundary was found to dissociate into relatively large and stable triangular grains consisting
of ∑=3 and ∑=9 boundaries, where one of the ∑=9 boundaries was an asymmetric CSL-boundary. The asymmetric ∑=9
boundary lowered its energy by dissociating further into ∑=3 boundaries. Dislocations were produced in the junctions
between the symmetric and asymmetric ∑=9 boundaries. Some of these will be geometrically necessary due to
translations at the facet junctions. Further dislocation formation is expected to be caused by stress concentrations which
develop at these boundary defects during crystallization and cooling of the silicon ingot. Also, different etching behaviour
at boundaries is discussed.

description: Temporal contact networks are studied to understand dynamic spreading phenomena such as communicable diseases or information dissemination. To establish how spatiotemporal dynamics of nodes impact spreading potential in colocation contact networks, we propose "inducement-shuffling" null models which break one or more correlations between times, locations and nodes. By reconfiguring the time and/or location of each node's presence in the network, these models induce alternative sets of colocation events giving rise to contact networks with varying spreading potential. This enables second-order causal reasoning about how correlations in nodes' spatiotemporal preferences not only lead to a given contact network but ultimately influence the network's spreading potential. We find the correlation between nodes and times to be the greatest impediment to spreading, while the correlation between times and locations slightly catalyzes spreading. Under each of the presented null models we measure both the number of contacts and infection prevalence as a function of time, with the surprising finding that the two have no direct causality.

description: Tracking programs play a key role in increasing the efficiency of PV tracking systems. Using Matlab
software, a calculus program was previously developed able to provide the parameters that ensure a high tracking
efficiency (with strictly limited number of tracking steps, thus reducing the energetic consumption of the driving
linear actuators). The experimental results of the PV trackers used in field tests confirmed that the driving energy of
the actuators is very low. Using these observations, the present paper proposes a new, improved tracking program
with an increased number of steps for the both movements (azimuthal and altitudinal) that provides a higher tracking
efficiency.

description: We have investigated the reaction of photovoltaic cells to external electromagnetic fields in a frequency
range of 10 Hz to 1 GHz. Outdoor recordings of received RF noise from the ambient were sampled for different solar
cells and modules and compared with the reception of a simple whip antenna which represents a monopole for
electromagnetic fields. Additionally in the laboratory well defined signals were generated and their reception was
investigated depending on geometrical factors of the cells, such as orientation, size and distance. Cells, partly
processed silicon wafers and patch antennas of equivalent dimensions were investigated. Two antenna models,
namely dipole and patch configuration, are compared with the experimental findings. It was found that the gain in the
investigated frequency range increases essentially linear with the cell area similar to patch antennas. A crystalline
silicon cell of 100 cm2 has almost the same signal amplification as an 83 cm long whip antenna remaining coarsely
constant over the whole frequency range. For narrow frequency bands however the signal attenuation or
amplification is strongly modified by the dipole behavior caused by the front metal grid.

description: Photovoltaic (PV) power systems should be measured in fine weather periodically and inspected from
the whole data to maintain the initial performance for many years. This method has a defect to suspend the generation
system in fine weather to collect I-V characterization data. Furthermore, it is difficult to analyze each constituent
precisely, since they include many factors. To diagnosis the electrical portion performance of PV array requires to
measure its output characterization, whether it might contains slight trouble of PV module. This study aims to
diagnostic the electrical state of PV modules to inspect on I-V characterization of PV array in darkness at night
periodically and detect the module electrical trouble in early stage. This contributes to raise the number of hours
worked in life time. The measured resistant data includes assumed trouble were analyzed with the variation of
resistance Rs and Rsh by the equation of solar cell equivalent circuit. If the series resistant value or shunt were shifted
from initial data, the one or few module from string presumed to have some trouble. This shifted data contribute to
detect the modules having electrical trouble early so that this improves the output amount of lifetime and the system
reliance.

description: Evolutionary clustering aims at capturing the temporal evolution of clusters. This issue is particularly important in the context of social media data that are naturally temporally driven. In this paper, we propose a new probabilistic model-based evolutionary clustering technique. The Temporal Multinomial Mixture (TMM) is an extension of classical mixture model that optimizes feature co-occurrences in the trade-off with temporal smoothness. Our model is evaluated for two recent case studies on opinion aggregation over time. We compare four different probabilistic clustering models and we show the superiority of our proposal in the task of instance-oriented clustering.

description: This paper proposes a new probabilistic non-extensive entropy feature for texture characterization, based on a Gaussian information measure. The highlights of the new entropy are that it is bounded by finite limits and that it is non additive in nature. The non additive property of the proposed entropy makes it useful for the representation of information content in the non-extensive systems containing some degree of regularity or correlation. The effectiveness of the proposed entropy in representing the correlated random variables is demonstrated by applying it for the texture classification problem since textures found in nature are random and at the same time contain some degree of correlation or regularity at some scale. The gray level co-occurrence probabilities (GLCP) are used for computing the entropy function. The experimental results indicate high degree of the classification accuracy. The performance of the new entropy function is found superior to other forms of entropy such as Shannon, Renyi, Tsallis and Pal and Pal entropies on comparison. Using the feature based polar interaction maps (FBIM) the proposed entropy is shown to be the best measure among the entropies compared for representing the correlated textures.
Group decision makers making process - an analytic hierarchy approach
Creators: name: Dragoi, Marian

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Multiagent Systems (cs.MA)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The paper deals with a step-wise analytic hierarchy process (AHP) applied by a group of decision makers wherein nobody has a dominant position and it is unlikely to come to terms with respect to either the weights of different objectives or expected utilities of different alternatives. One of the AHP outcomes, that is the consistency index is computed for each decision maker, for all other decision makers but that one, and for the whole group. Doing so, the group is able to assess to which extent each decision maker alters the group consistency index and a better consistency index could be achieved if the assessment procedure is being resumed by the most influential decision maker in terms of consistency. The main contribution of the new approach is the algorithm presented in as a flow chart where the condition to stop the process might be either a threshold value for the consistency index, or a given number of iterations for the group or decision maker, depending on the degree to which the targeted goal has been decomposed into conflictual objectives.

description: Concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) systems have changed the paradigm of PV energy by reducing the
most expensive component of solar modules, the solar cells. This shift enabled a more truthful pursuit for grid-parity
on electricity production. Thus it is essential to make a Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) approach to have
realistic values for the electricity cost produced by CPV systems, in order to this it is essential to determine the
technological evolution and the optimization of the production process. The HSUN® is a medium concentration
system (20x) under development by WS Energia since 2008. HSUN® is composed by a solar tracker (WS Horizon®)
with a robotic controller (SunGravityControl®) and the CPV modules (X-Modules®).This paper presents a detailed
electricity costs analyses based on a LCOE of the HSUN® technology. Results showed the expected substantial
improvement on LCOE along the HSUN® technology development process. For the most favorable markets, like the
segments of the European market, grid-parity is achieved by benefiting from economy of scale when the production
reaches the MW scale. When GW scale is achieved, the HSUN® technology can be competitive on a global scale
with the carbon based energy sources.

description: Large area modules are widely characterized by means of a flash-light sun simulator. In order to
achieve a high accuracy the light spectrum should fit well with the standard AM 1.5 sun spectrum. Beside spectral
deviations mainly caused by the distinct Xenon peaks in the long wavelength range also the spectral distribution of
the flash light is not constant in time. The spectral distribution of the lamp shifts from red to blue during the flash
duration. Therefore, both facts will make an accurate characterization of tandem cell modules based on amorphous
and microcrystalline silicon more complex. On the other hand, the spectral change of the light source in time
provides sufficient information to determine the matching behavior of thin-film silicon tandem cell structures. We
will present a proof of concept of this approach by detailed characterization and analysis of small area tandem cell
modules which are top limited, bottom limited and nearly optimized matched.

description: Correlation and prediction of cell parameters from PL images of as-cut wafers is a topic of main interest.
The prediction of the open circuit voltage (VOC) for different material qualities by using PL images combined with a
software routine with equal assumptions can lead to significant deviations in predicted and measured VOC, thus adapting
the software routine for each material is required [4,5]. In this contribution we will discuss one effect that can explain
such deviations in predicting solar cell parameters and analyze this effect in terms of recombination activity and prebreakdown
behavior by means of PL imaging and reverse biased electroluminescence (ReBEL).
Torsional Oscillations of a Magnetar with a Tangled Magnetic Field

description: Motivated by stability considerations and observational evidence, we argue that magnetars possess highly-tangled internal magnetic fields. We propose that the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) seen to accompany giant flares can be explained as torsional modes supported by a tangled magnetic field, and we present a simple model that supports this hypothesis for SGR 1900+14. Taking the strength of the tangle as a free parameter, we find that the magnetic energy in the tangle must dominate that in the dipolar component by a factor of $\sim 14$ to accommodate the observed 28 Hz QPO. Our simple model provides useful scaling relations for how the QPO spectrum depends on the bulk properties of the neutron star and the tangle strength. The energy density in the tangled field inferred for SGR 1900+14 renders the crust nearly dynamically irrelevant, a significant simplification for study of the QPO problem. The predicted spectrum is about three times denser than observed, which could be explained by preferential mode excitation or beamed emission. We emphasize that field tangling is needed to stabilize the magnetic field, so should not be ignored in treatment of the QPO problem.

title: The effect of flow on branded Instagram pages in relation to Generation Z’s online purchase intention: an empirical study
Creators: name: Polesnak, Jeanna F.
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: The current investigation explores the concept of Flow in relation to American 
Generation Z (Gen Z), aged eighteen to twenty-four years, in the context of branded 
Instagram page (BIGP) use, and whether this experience influences their purchase intention. 
Drawing from the literature pertaining to consumer behaviour, including the Theory of 
Reasoned Action and the Theory of Flow, a conceptual model with nine hypotheses, was 
developed to assess Flow in this context. The model aimed to predict which antecedent 
constructs would positively influence Gen Z entering Flow, which appears to be lacking after 
a review of current literature. Based upon previous findings, the antecedent constructs of 
skill, challenge, imagery, focused attention, goal clarity, social interaction, and timely 
feedback were included in the research model. The model also evaluated the influence of 
Flow upon purchase intention. Further, time distortion was hypothesised to partially mediate 
the relationship between Flow and purchase intention. 
The philosophical lens of pragmatism was adopted, and the subjects were accessed 
by means of a convenience sample of Gen Z business students enrolled at a large, public, 
West Coast University in the United States. The data were collected using Mixed Methods, 
consisting of a qualitative focus group, two quantitative pilot studies, and a hard-copy 
questionnaire. After cleansing the data, a sample of 252 usable questionnaires were 
evaluated by means of Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). 
After an analysis of the data, five of the nine hypotheses were found to be statistically 
significant, meaning the model was partially supported. The findings of the data analysis 
indicated that the antecedent constructs of skill, focused attention, and social interaction 
positively influenced Flow in Gen Z BIGP users, whilst significant relationships were not 
identified for the other hypothesised antecedent constructs. Flow was found to have a 
significant influence upon purchase intention and time distortion was found to have a 
complementary mediation effect upon the relationship between Flow and purchase intention. 
Multiple, indirect, statistically significant relationships were also identified. An analysis of data 
heterogeneity discovered statistically significant differences between subjects based upon 
their frequency of BIGP use and level of income.
The findings from the research made five contributions to consumer behaviour 
literature. The thesis also contributed to Research Methodology by expanding the application 
of PLS-SEM to evaluate a model in a new context. Finally, the insights from this timely 
research may aid marketers in better connecting with American Gen Z BIGP users.

description: 26th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4684-4688
description: The European Energy and Climate Change policies, as well as the supporting EU Member States’
legislations have resulted in high market growth for photovoltaics. Applying PV technologies however, requires
highly-qualified technicians to install, repair and maintain them. Until today, national markets have been growing
faster than the qualified PV installers force can satisfy. The PVTRIN training and certification scheme, creating a
qualified installer workforce, supports the European Photovoltaic industry in addressing the need for skilled
technicians. It will, initially, be implemented in six (6) countries: Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Romania and
Spain, incorporating the criteria set by the 2009/28/EC Directive for qualification schemes in each Member State, as
well as the national legislation. The certified installers will gain professional competitive advantage, improving their
technical skills and knowledge. Having more qualified PV installers should lead to fewer technical failures, more
effective operation of PV systems, better maintenance procedures, and lower maintenance costs. The resulting
increased confidence of PV investors should then lead to higher market growth. The increased PV technology
penetration to the energy mix, will assist the EU countries in achieving the mandatory target of a 20% share of energy
from RES, in overall EU energy consumption, by 2020.
