description: In this paper a multidirectional DC/DC input stage for residential photovoltaic (PV) systems with
integrated electrochemical storage is presented. Due to a decreasing feed-in tariff and administrative regulations
regarding the amount of energy being fed into the public grid, it is getting more and more economically attractive for
the operators of small PV systems to consume (a part of) the produced energy locally (self-consumption).
The proposed input stage provides two separate inputs each of which can be connected to a string of PV modules on
the one hand or to a high voltage (HV) battery on the other hand, allowing great flexibility of the PV system. An
innovative power electronic topology consisting of three independent converter sub-stages is used. A first
demonstrator has been built up and is presented in this paper along with first efficiency measurement data. The input
stage is completely equipped with silicon carbide (SiC) power MOSFETs.

description: We report results of the first five observing campaigns for the open stellar cluster NGC 7243 in the frame of project Young Exoplanet Transit Initiative (YETI). The project focuses on the monitoring of young and nearby stellar clusters, with the aim to detect young transiting exoplanets, and to study other variability phenomena on time-scales from minutes to years. After five observing campaigns and additional observations during 2013 and 2014, a clear and repeating transit-like signal was detected in the light curve of J221550.6+495611. Furthermore, we detected and analysed 37 new eclipsing binary stars in the studied region. The best fit parameters and light curves of all systems are given. Finally, we detected and analysed 26 new, presumably pulsating variable stars in the studied region. The follow-up investigation of these objects, including spectroscopic measurements of the exoplanet candidate, is currently planned.

description: The investigation of layers in solar module which are concealed under other layers is often very
difficult and can be done in many cases only by destroying the module. Here X-ray techniques are helpful due to their
non-destructive nature. In contrast to the ordinary X-ray radioscopic method the tomosynthesis technique exhibits
additional depth information of the solar cells and modules. In this article several applications of tomosynthesis for the
investigation of solar cells and modules are studied. It will be shown which potential the application of X-ray and
especially tomosynthesis has as quality control tool for photovoltaics.

description: Encoding many qubits in different degrees of freedom (DOFs) of single photons is one of the routes towards enlarging the Hilbert space spanned by a photonic quantum state. Hyperentangled photon states (i.e. states showing entanglement in multiple DOFs) have demonstrated significant implications for both fundamental physics tests and quantum communication and computation. Increasing the number of qubits of photonic experiments requires miniaturization and integration of the basic elements and functions to guarantee the set-up stability. This motivates the development of technologies allowing the precise control of different photonic DOFs on a chip. We demonstrate the contextual use of path and polarization qubits propagating within an integrated quantum circuit. We tested the properties of four-qubit linear cluster states built on both DOFs. Our results pave the way towards the full integration on a chip of hybrid multiqubit multiphoton states.

description: It is shown that Potential Induced Degradation (PID) can be prevented by using chemically
strengthened aluminosilicate glass as PV cover glass in this paper. Migration of Na ions from PV cover glass has
been pointed out as a principal factor. Without any proper measures, PV modules show PID under tough conditions.
Chemically strengthened aluminosilicate glass has lower Na concentration in its surface compared to thermally
tempered sodalime glass. Small modules containing chemically strengthened glass were prepared and operated in an
accelerated PID test. Negative voltage bias of 1000 V was applied to the cells in the modules during the PID test. The
small modules with chemically strengthened glass show the same maximum power after the PID tests as before, even
though no other measures were made to the modules for preventing PID. In other words, only replacing cover glass
with chemically strengthened glass prevents Na-related PID. Chemically strengthened PV cover glass is now
commercially available, as “LeoflexTM” from Asahi Glass. The LeoflexTM is aluminosilicate glass specially designed
for good chemical-strengthening characteristics

description: This study examines the accuracy and value of three different PV module performance modeling
approaches by calibrating selected performance models to outdoor IV data measured on different module
technologies. We compare measured and modeled IV characteristics by examining the error distributions and
correlations with time varying quantities to assess the accuracy of each model for the modules tested. The equivalent
circuit diode models (e.g., PVsyst, PV*SOL, CEC, etc.) are popular, but include technology-specific corrections and
calibration is challenging. Empirical models such as the Sandia PV Array Performance Model (SAPM) and
TEL/SRCL “Loss Factors model” (LFM) are better able to represent technology performance differences and
changes over time. Several of the SAPM coefficients lack of physical meaning whereas the LFM coefficients relate
directly to IV characteristics. This study explores the strengths and weaknesses of each approach to model PV
module and system performance with the goal of reducing prediction uncertainty and project risk, and improving the
quality and value of PV system modeling and simulations.

description: Testing high-efficient highly-capacitive c-Si modules with pulsed solar simulators may lead to strong
measurement artifacts. The method investigated in this work of testing dark IV curves and reconstructing a steady-state
illuminated IV curve by using a translation/reconstruction procedure is the adaptation of a former work for solar cells and
has now been validated on a solar module level. The method provides excellent results – with errors in the estimation of
Pmax <0.5% - for a set of technologies (Sanyo) and less satisfactory results for another set of devices (Sunpower) leading
to a systematic overestimation of the power by+2.5-3%. By extrapolating and comparing the diode PV parameters from
the two set of devices, the devices for which the method works better, apparently show a lower discrepancy between dark
and light fitted parameters, particularly for the reverse saturation current J0 and the ideality factor n. As the method is
very sensitive to a correct determination of the series resistance Rs, particular carefulness should be given in determining
this parameter from the measured dark IV curve.hich lead to this discrepancies for some technologies are carefully reviewed and are ascribed to the different
electrical behavior of the PV device between dark and illuminated conditions.
The $E_8$ geometry from a Clifford perspective

description: This paper considers the geometry of $E_8$ from a Clifford point of view in three complementary ways. Firstly, in earlier work, I had shown how to construct the four-dimensional exceptional root systems from the 3D root systems using Clifford techniques, by constructing them in the 4D even subalgebra of the 3D Clifford algebra; for instance the icosahedral root system $H_3$ gives rise to the largest (and therefore exceptional) non-crystallographic root system $H_4$. Arnold's trinities and the McKay correspondence then hint that there might be an indirect connection between the icosahedron and $E_8$. Secondly, in a related construction, I have now made this connection explicit for the first time: in the 8D Clifford algebra of 3D space the $120$ elements of the icosahedral group $H_3$ are doubly covered by $240$ 8-component objects, which endowed with a `reduced inner product' are exactly the $E_8$ root system. It was previously known that $E_8$ splits into $H_4$-invariant subspaces, and we discuss the folding construction relating the two pictures. This folding is a partial version of the one used for the construction of the Coxeter plane, so thirdly we discuss the geometry of the Coxeter plane in a Clifford algebra framework. We advocate the complete factorisation of the Coxeter versor in the Clifford algebra into exponentials of bivectors describing rotations in orthogonal planes with the rotation angle giving the correct exponents, which gives much more geometric insight than the usual approach of complexification and search for complex eigenvalues. In particular, we explicitly find these factorisations for the 2D, 3D and 4D root systems, $D_6$ as well as $E_8$, whose Coxeter versor factorises as $W=\exp(\fracπ{30}B_C)\exp(\frac{11π}{30}B_2)\exp(\frac{7π}{30}B_3)\exp(\frac{13π}{30}B_4)$.

description: Advancements in 3D sensing technologies have led to an increased reliance on point cloud data for diverse applications ranging from autonomous navigation to environmental modeling. However, the sheer volume of data collected by these technologies poses significant challenges for real-time processing and analysis. This thesis introduces SampleLapNet, a novel neural network architecture designed to address the challenges of point cloud downsampling in a task-agnostic manner. By leveraging the Laplacian operator as a geometric measure of point importance, SampleLapNet learns to predict and preserve critical geometric features during the downsampling process, thereby ensuring minimal loss of relevant information. The architecture combines the robustness of transformer models with the efficiency of Laplacian-based importance scoring to facilitate efficient preprocessing that enhances subsequent point cloud analyses. We demonstrate the effectiveness of SampleLapNet through extensive experiments on benchmark datasets, showing significant improvements in downsampling efficiency without compromising the performance of downstream tasks such as semantic segmentation. This work not only proposes a method to reduce computational demands but also provides insights into the geometric processing of 3D data, suggesting pathways for future innovations in point cloud processing.

description: Fatigue of solar cell interconnectors is a key failure mode for PV modules. Loading of interconnectors
occurs when cell displacement takes place due to temperature changes and mechanical loading of PV modules. The
aim of this paper is the application of a numerical lifetime estimation concept for solar cell interconnectors. The
stress-strain constitutive behavior of the ribbon material and its mechanical fatigue properties were investigated by
mechanical testing methods. By means of experimentally derived material data of all module components (silicon,
glass, encapsulant, backsheet etc.) a numerical model was formulated describing loading scenarios as well as fatigue
behavior of the ribbon. This model can be used to estimate ribbon lifetime (cycles to failure) within a PV module under
cyclic mechanical and thermo-mechanical loading with finite element simulation. The simulation results were
validated by comparison to mechanical module loading tests.
The achieved agreement between simulation and experiment enables a reduction of the current enormous experimental
effort (measuring cell shifts, sample manufacturing) in order to access ribbon limited module lifetime under
various geometrical and environmental conditions. Nevertheless comprehensive material characterization and modeling
is necessary to capture all influencing factors.

description: The degradation of adhesion strength between back-sheet and encapsulant due to moisture ingress was
investigated for commercial crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) mini-modules. The damp-heat test originated from
qualification test was carried out at five different temperature and humidity conditions (95oC/85% RH, 85oC/85%
RH, 65oC/85% RH, 85oC/65% RH and 85oC/45% RH) to assess the impact of stress levels on test outcomes. The
adhesion strength was measured by 90o peel tests, carried out at specified degradation intervals. Several visual defects
were observed, including delamination, moisture ingress and bubble formation. The adhesion strength showed a
stretched exponential decay with time and significant influences of test conditions was demonstrated. A humidity
dose model was proposed by assuming micro-climates seen by the modules, i.e. surface relative humidity of the backsheet
as the driving factor for an Arrhenius based model using temperature as accelerating factor. The correlation
between adhesion degradation and humidity dose was investigated and an exponential model was developed to
represent this correlation with extracted activation energy (Ea) of 63kJ/mol. This supplies a potential model for the
estimation of adhesion strength decay triggered out by humidity in dependence of the humidity conditions.
Pairwise maximum-entropy models and their Glauber dynamics: bimodality, bistability, non-ergodicity problems, and their elimination via inhibition

description: Pairwise maximum-entropy models have been used in recent neuroscientific literature to predict the activity of neuronal populations, given only the time-averaged correlations of the neuron activities. This paper provides evidence that the pairwise model, applied to experimental recordings, predicts a bimodal distribution for the population-averaged activity, and for some population sizes the second mode peaks at high activities, with 90% of the neuron population active within time-windows of few milliseconds. This bimodality has several undesirable consequences: 1. The presence of two modes is unrealistic in view of observed neuronal activity. 2. The prediction of a high-activity mode is unrealistic on neurobiological grounds. 3. Boltzmann learning becomes non-ergodic, hence the pairwise model found by this method is not the maximum entropy distribution; similarly, solving the inverse problem by common variants of mean-field approximations has the same problem. 4. The Glauber dynamics associated with the model is either unrealistically bistable, or does not reflect the distribution of the pairwise model. This bimodality is first demonstrated for an experimental dataset comprising 159 neuron activities recorded from the motor cortex of macaque monkey. Using a reduced maximum-entropy model, evidence is then provided that this bimodality affects typical neural recordings of population sizes of a couple of hundreds or more neurons. As a way to eliminate the bimodality and its ensuing problems, a modified pairwise model is presented, which -- most important -- has an associated pairwise Glauber dynamics. This model avoids bimodality thanks to a minimal asymmetric inhibition. It can be interpreted as a minimum-relative-entropy model with a particular prior, or as a maximum-entropy model with an additional constraint.

description: This work is focused on investigating correlation between moisture ingress and performance in multi-crystalline silicon (Si) and amorphous Si photovoltaic (PV) modules. We prepared test modules using back sheets with different water vapor transmission rates (WVTRs), and damp heat tests were performed. In the past accepted theory, it was thought that using low WVTR back sheet is necessary for high reliability PV module in the case of multi-crystalline Si modules. However, maximum power (Pmax) is retained for long time in high WVTR back sheet and also without back sheet. Concentration of acetate ion remaining in the ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) for the module using low WVTR back sheet is much higher than that using high WVTR back sheet and also without back sheet. The result suggested that moisture ingress is not directly related to performance degradation and it is important to select the material and the composition which is easy to release acetic acid generated by hydrolysis outside toward the development of high reliability PV modules for heat and humidity. In the case of amorphous Si, both moisture and acetic acid affect degradation. So, low WVTR back sheet is necessary for high reliability module.

description: The properties of TiO2–dye–electrolyte interface and the electronic structure of the junction play a key role
in the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Doping of TiO2 nanostructure with Nb provides us with a
powerful tool for engineering the electronic structure of TiO2 electrode. Nb-doped TiO2 mesoscopic layers were prepared
using a sol–gel method followed by a hydrothermal treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used for
characterization of the energetic structure of Nb-doped TiO2 layers. It was found that the Fermi level of TiO2 electrode
shifted away from the conduction band minimum (CBM) for Nb content less than 1.5 mol% and shifted towards the
CBM when the Nb content was more than 2.5 mol%. XRD measurements, SEM and TEM were used for the
characterization of the structural properties of the prepared layers. The prepared Nb-doped TiO2 layers sensitized with
N719 dye were used for fabrication of DSSCs. The best efficiency of 9.6% was demonstrated by DSSCs with 2.5 mol%
Nb-doped TiO2.

description: Quantifying the accuracy of segmentation and manual delineation of organs, tissue types and tumors in medical images is a necessary measurement that suffers from multiple problems. One major shortcoming of all accuracy measures is that they neglect the anatomical significance or relevance of different zones within a given segment. Hence, existing accuracy metrics measure the overlap of a given segment with a ground-truth without any anatomical discrimination inside the segment. For instance, if we understand the rectal wall or urethral sphincter as anatomical zones, then current accuracy measures ignore their significance when they are applied to assess the quality of the prostate gland segments. In this paper, we propose an anatomy-aware measurement scheme for segmentation accuracy of medical images. The idea is to create a ``master gold'' based on a consensus shape containing not just the outline of the segment but also the outlines of the internal zones if existent or relevant. To apply this new approach to accuracy measurement, we introduce the anatomy-aware extensions of both Dice coefficient and Jaccard index and investigate their effect using 500 synthetic prostate ultrasound images with 20 different segments for each image. We show that through anatomy-sensitive calculation of segmentation accuracy, namely by considering relevant anatomical zones, not only the measurement of individual users can change but also the ranking of users' segmentation skills may require reordering.

description: Potential-induced degradation (PID) of PV-modules can occur for c-Si, Si-TF and CIGS modules under
conditions of a significant leakage current flow. In the field leakage currents split in two regimes, one related to wet, the
other to hot and dry module conditions. For CIGS and c-Si modules degradation seems to be correlated with the transferred
charge. However for c-Si modules thermal regeneration of power plays the crucial role. For a c-Si module type degradation
and recovery was studied in detail. A continuing degradation after stop of voltage stress was observed. Regeneration of
power showed an activation energy of around 0.6eV and follows a stretched-exponential function. Same modules have been
PID-stressed at the ZSW test field Widderstall, while IV curves have been continuously monitored. The phase of degradation
after a rain period and the following regeneration phase could be directly observed.

description: In this paper, we study the cones of higher codimension (pseudo)effective cycles on point blow-ups of projective space. We determine bounds on the number of points for which these cones are generated by the classes of linear cycles, and for which these cones are finitely generated. Surprisingly, we discover that for (very) general points, the higher codimension cones behave better than the cones of divisors. For example, for the blow-up $X_r^n$ of $\mathbb P^n$, $n>4$, at $r$ very general points, the cone of divisors is not finitely generated as soon as $r> n+3$, whereas the cone of curves is generated by the classes of lines if $r \leq 2^n$. In fact, if $X_r^n$ is a Mori Dream Space then all the effective cones of cycles on $X_r^n$ are finitely generated.

description: Encapsulants and encapsulation materials can be regarded as key components of PV modules. On the
one hand, encapsulants have to ensure short process times and stable processing conditions in module production
whilst on the other hand they have to guarantee stable properties and high performance over a module’s lifetime in
the field. To meet all these requirements, the authors have developed a new thermoplastic, non-curing TPO-based
encapsulation material for PV modules that is compared to commonly used cross-linked EVA encapsulants in terms
of storage condition requirements, processing in PV-module production, stability, reliability and module performance
aspects. Furthermore, long-term monitoring of the encapsulant’s performance, adhesion behavior to PV front-glass
and PV-backsheets as well as results of extensive accelerated aging testing of the new encapsulation material are
discussed in the presented study in detail. A close focus is also put on PV module performance aspects and in
particular on potential induced degradation (PID) phenomena, that can be completely avoided by using the presented
thermoplastic encapsulation solution.

Exploring U6atac Inhibition and Minor Intron Splicing Dynamics for Therapeutic Strategies
Creators: name: Tarlochan, Fiza
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Genome Structure and Regulation

description: Intron splicing is crucial for gene expression in eukaryotes, and minor introns (mi-INTs) represent a distinct class reliant on U6atac snRNP. Despite their rarity, mi-INTs are highly conserved across species and are enriched in genes involved in key cellular processes, including those implicated in cancer. We hypothesized that deregulated splicing of mi-INTs contributes to the aggressiveness and therapeutic resistance seen in breast cancer. Using antisense oligonucleotides, we knocked down U6atac in two subtypes of breast cancer cells, measuring relative gene expression via qPCR and conducting cell viability assays. Complete U6atac inactivation led to rapid and severe cell toxicity, revealing distinct splicing trends in 23 genes. Surprisingly, mild U6atac inhibition also decreased cell viability significantly without affecting all mi-INTs splicing, suggesting a set of highly sensitive genes essential for breast cancer cell survival, potentially viable targets for low-dose inhibition strategies. This study had three goals aimed at understanding breast cancer cell responses to U6atac inhibition and elucidating underlying mechanisms. First. We assessed viability differences in breast cancer cells following moderate U6atac inhibition and investigated cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Then, we aimed to identify and characterize minor intron- containing genes responsive to U6atac inhibition through RNA-Seq screening and computational analysis in order to discern motif differences between breast cancer subtypes. Finally, we explored the lack of transcript accumulation in some mi-INTs by inhibiting the exosomal and NMD pathways, seeking to unravel interactions and splicing behaviors. This research provided insights into molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer cell responses to U6atac inhibition, potentially uncovering therapeutic targets and enhancing understanding of breast cancer pathogenesis.

description: We present a selection of methods for automatically constructing an optimal kernel model for difference image analysis which require very few external parameters to control the kernel design. Each method consists of two components; namely, a kernel design algorithm to generate a set of candidate kernel models, and a model selection criterion to select the simplest kernel model from the candidate models that provides a sufficiently good fit to the target image. We restricted our attention to the case of solving for a spatially-invariant convolution kernel composed of delta basis functions, and we considered 19 different kernel solution methods including six employing kernel regularisation. We tested these kernel solution methods by performing a comprehensive set of image simulations and investigating how their performance in terms of model error, fit quality, and photometric accuracy depends on the properties of the reference and target images. We find that the irregular kernel design algorithm employing unregularised delta basis functions, combined with either the Akaike or Takeuchi information criterion, is the best kernel solution method in terms of photometric accuracy. Our results are validated by tests performed on two independent sets of real data. Finally, we provide some important recommendations for software implementations of difference image analysis.

description: We investigate the composition of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) PV-module encapsulation materials
with different degrees of crosslinking and its influence on the module performance degradation. To do so, 0%, 50%
and 90% cured samples consisting out of 5 EVA compounds are prepared and the volatile additives they contain are
extracted and characterized. The stability towards oxidation of each material and each curing state is evaluated and is
shown to be depending on the material composition, with lower stabilities found for materials with high amounts of
curing agents such as peroxides and coactivators. In a second step, 0%, 50% and 90% cured laboratory scale
laminates with 2 solar cells each are prepared with 4 different EVA materials. These modules are then tested under
damp-heat conditions (85°C, 85% humidity) up to 2000 h or under UV irradiation at 60°C and their electrical
performances are periodically measured. The degradation of the material is monitored by measuring its fluorescence
intensity over time and the chemical composition of materials samples extracted during and after ageing is
investigated. These experiments show that the 0% cured material is faster degraded than the 50% and 90% cured
ones. Nevertheless, the decrease of the module performance over testing time does not differ from a curing state to
the other.

description: We study the spectrum of the cohomology rings of cocommutative Hopf superalgebras, restricted and non-restricted Lie superalgebras, and finite supergroup schemes. We also investigate support varieties in these settings and demonstrate that they have the desirable properties of such a theory. We completely characterize support varieties for finite supergroup schemes over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero, while for non-restricted Lie superalgebras we obtain results in positive characteristic that are strikingly similar to results of Duflo and Serganova in characteristic zero. Our computations for restricted Lie superalgebras and infinitesimal supergroup schemes provide natural generalizations of foundational results of Friedlander and Parshall and of Bendel, Friedlander, and Suslin in the classical setting.

description: This paper presents the concept of a lens-integrated CMOS camera-type terahertz (THz) compact antenna test range (CATR) to determine the far-field characteristics of transmitters (TX), including the radiation pattern, directivity, half-power beamwidth (HPBW), and radiation power. For concept validation, the frequency-dependent far-field radiation pattern of a 0.6–1.1 THz TX equipped with a 23.7–28.2 dBi standard gain horn antenna was measured using THz CATR. Directivity, HPBW, and radiation power have been extracted from THz CATR measurements. The first two parameters are compared to values obtained from calculations, full-wave simulations, and reference measurements performed at a conventional far-field range. In contrast, the third parameter is compared to a reference measurement performed with an absolute power meter. The following performance was achieved employing super-resolution imaging. Frequency-dependent directivity and HPBW were determined within a root mean square (RMS) accuracy of 0.85 dB and 1.16°, respectively, related to reference measurements performed at the conventional far-field range. The frequency-dependent radiation power was determined within an RMS accuracy of 0.7 µW related to reference measurements with the absolute power meter. Camera-related limitations concerning the THz CATR application are discussed in detail, such as field-of-view limitations, angular resolution limits, scan loss, pixel-to-pixel variation, signal-to-noise ratio limitations, and the interaction between TX and camera lens.
