description: While recently there has been a growing interest in measuring the effect of soiling on photovoltaics (PV) using two similar PV devices, little research has been undertaken to investigate the uncertainties stemmed from the inherent performance asymmetries between the two devices. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of a direct soiling loss (SLD) measurement method and another corrective soiling loss (SLC) method using commercial mc-Si modules. We demonstrate that SLD errors and tolerances can be significantly different between different pairs of similar PV devices. Although the corrections made by SLC can significantly improve accuracy, it was unable to improve error tolerances and requires periodic PV characterization. Furthermore, a preliminary investigation of soiling rate (SRate) uncertainties suggests that they are highly sensitive to the standard deviation of soiling loss measurements.

description: Methods based on partial least squares (PLS) regression, which has recently gained much attention in the analysis of high-dimensional genomic datasets, have been developed since the early 2000s for performing variable selection. Most of these techniques rely on tuning parameters that are often determined by cross-validation (CV) based methods, which raises important stability issues. To overcome this, we have developed a new dynamic bootstrapbased method for significant predictor selection, suitable for both PLS regression and its incorporation into generalized linear models (GPLS). It relies on the establishment of bootstrap confidence intervals, that allows testing of the significance of predictors at preset type I risk $α$, and avoids the use of CV. We have also developed adapted versions of sparse PLS (SPLS) and sparse GPLS regression (SGPLS), using a recently introduced non-parametric bootstrap-based technique for the determination of the numbers of components. We compare their variable selection reliability and stability concerning tuning parameters determination, as well as their predictive ability, using simulated data for PLS and real microarray gene expression data for PLS-logistic classification. We observe that our new dynamic bootstrapbased method has the property of best separating random noise in y from the relevant information with respect to other methods, leading to better accuracy and predictive abilities, especially for non-negligible noise levels.

description: Results from the first international Round Robin on electroluminescence (EL) imaging of PV devices
are presented. 17 Laboratories across Europe, Asia and the US measured EL images of ten commercially available
modules and five single-cell modules. This work presents a novel automated camera calibration and image scaling
routine. Its performance is quantified through comparing intensity deviation of corrected images and their cell average.
While manual calibration includes additional measurement of lens distortion and flat field, the automated calibration
extracts camera calibration parameters (here: lens distortion, and vignetting) exclusively from EL images. Although it
is shown that the presented automated calibration outperforms the manual one, the method proposed in this work uses
both manual and automated calibration. 501 images from 24 cameras are corrected. Intensity deviation of cell averages
of every measured device decreased from 10.3 % (results submitted by contributing labs) to 2.8 % (proposed method),
For three images the image correction produced insufficient results and vignetting correction failed for one camera,
known of having a non-linear camera sensor. Surprisingly, largest image quality improvements are achieved by
spatially precise image alignment of the same device and not by correcting for vignetting and lens distortion. This is
due to overall small lens distortion and the circumstance that, although vignetting caused intensity reduction of more
than 50%, PV devices are generally positioned in the image centre in which vignetting distortion is lowest.

John Ford Paterson, 1851-1912: landscape painter in search of 'something evanescent'

description: John Ford Paterson was an Australian landscape painter of Scottish descent who was admired by his contemporaries for his commitment to translating the beauty of nature through his poetic landscapes. Paterson arrived back in Australia for a second time in early 1884 with knowledge of contemporary European trends. This has often been overlooked due the promotion of Tom Roberts' arrival in 1885. To date, in the historiography of Australian art Paterson has not been afforded the recognition he rightly deserves in the development of Australian landscape painting, in particular the genre of twilight scenes. This thesis seeks to establish Paterson as a significant artist in Australian landscape painting from 1884 to 1912. His early career in Scotland and artists that influenced him will be examined along with his public role in Melbourne's artistic development. The writing of Paterson back into the mainstream of Australian art history is well overdue and it is envisaged that this thesis provides the groundwork for this to be achieved and for Paterson to attain that 'something evanescent'.

description: De Saussure (1916:35) held that the nature of language-systems consists in what they have in common with all other semiotic systems. This thesis aims to provide an answer. It starts with the ‘parts of speech’ and uses the verb-noun distinction to separate language into a calculus and a protocol. The Principle of Connection is proposed as a structure-forming capacity and defined as a fixed hierarchical mental structure. Language is defined as a ‘way of normalising meaning through signalling’. The linearity of language enforces three types of notational elements: those having no relation, one relation (either direction) and two relations (both directions). Quine’s (1960:83f) ‘quality space’ is combined with the Gestalt notion of figure-ground into a schematic semantics of perception based on the necessarycontingent and the intrinsic-extrinsic distinctions. The Principle of Connection is shown to be the logical operation AND with its operands evaluated as identical, similar, different or contrary. The schema translates into the ontological categories of Universal Grammar (UG) giving as possible types of lexeme: Identifier, Qualifier, Quantifier and Connective. The validity of the schema is verified successfully against the language of the Predicate Calculus (PC). The schema further expresses both the whole-of-parts and the part-of-a-whole perspective as well as the analytic and synthetic method. ‘Grammar’ is analysed through a discussion of the possible errors of protocol and grammar proper is shown to consist in the cultural variations of UG. The basic structure of English is found to be (Quantity) (Quality) Essence (Relation). An analysis of verbs is presented on the basis of the schema. Lastly, the prototypical connectives are given as IS, AND, BUT and OR and it is shown how all others are troponymic extensions in a radial network centred on these four.

description: In the design of common solar modules, one of the main tasks is to achieve maximum output power or efficiency. Due to the complex interaction between different parameters of PV materials and module configuration this is a difficult task. The complexity increases when costs attributed to components and processes have to be considered. We use an approach to optimize module power and costs simultaneously based on the cell-to-module ratio which is usually used to describe the impact of module design and materials on module power. We present optimization routines to identify ideal module configurations. We apply five different types of optimization algorithms to the cell-to-module model, to find the optimal values of input parameters that maximize module power and efficiency and minimize the respective cell-to-module losses as well as the specific module costs [€/Wp]. The algorithms applied within this study are evaluated regarding their accuracy towards optimal output of the PV module and their computing power. We optimize a 285 W reference module and increase power by 5.8% and efficiency by 0.45 %abs. Specific costs are reduced by 0.9 €ct/Wp.

description: The Time-Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS) is an SDSS-IV eBOSS subproject primarily aimed at obtaining identification spectra of ~220,000 optically-variable objects systematically selected from SDSS/Pan-STARRS1 multi-epoch imaging. We present a preview of the science enabled by TDSS, based on TDSS spectra taken over ~320 deg^2 of sky as part of the SEQUELS survey in SDSS-III, which is in part a pilot survey for eBOSS in SDSS-IV. Using the 15,746 TDSS-selected single-epoch spectra of photometrically variable objects in SEQUELS, we determine the demographics of our variability-selected sample, and investigate the unique spectral characteristics inherent in samples selected by variability. We show that variability-based selection of quasars complements color-based selection by selecting additional redder quasars, and mitigates redshift biases to produce a smooth quasar redshift distribution over a wide range of redshifts. The resulting quasar sample contains systematically higher fractions of blazars and broad absorption line quasars than from color-selected samples. Similarly, we show that M-dwarfs in the TDSS-selected stellar sample have systematically higher chromospheric active fractions than the underlying M-dwarf population, based on their H-alpha emission. TDSS also contains a large number of RR Lyrae and eclipsing binary stars with main-sequence colors, including a few composite-spectrum binaries. Finally, our visual inspection of TDSS spectra uncovers a significant number of peculiar spectra, and we highlight a few cases of these interesting objects. With a factor of ~15 more spectra, the main TDSS survey in SDSS-IV will leverage the lessons learned from these early results for a variety of time-domain science applications.

description: The Chinese Photovoltaic (PV) market grew rapidly in 2017 with 53GW of new installations. Distributed PV (DPV) accounted for 19.4GW growing from 4.2GW in 2016. Examples of DPV include small scale (usually < 20MW) PV installations on commercial and residential rooftops, over-water installations and small size off-grid installations. The DPV segment is expected to keep growing in the next few years. However, along with the high-speed growth and development, field failures and underlying mechanisms/root causes need to be assessed. A field investigation by DuPont of more than 1GW and ~300 installations, ranging from newly installed to 30+ years old with a variety of module types including mono, poly, fixed, tracking, glass/backsheet, glass/glass, and bifacial, in DPV and ground installations. The data shows higher module visual failure rate for DPV (32.5%) compared with large scale ground PV (22.8%), while backsheet failure rate in DPV is > 2.5 times higher than that of conventional PV. Examples are shown of module and component failures including solar cell corrosion, hot spots, EVA browning and glass delamination, and backsheet yellowing, cracking and thickness erosion. To understand failure mechanisms, non-destructive analysis and lab destructive analysis were conducted and defects were analyzed.

description: В статье рассматриваются основные тенденции в развитии международной торговли в последние десятилетия. Показаны главные факторы ее быстрого расширения и повышения в ней роли развивающихся стран динамичный экономический рост в развивающемся мире, особенно в азиатском регионе, экспансия глобальных цепочек стоимости (ГЦС),торговая либерализация. Среди важных новых явлений в текущем десятилетии выделены замедление темпов роста глобальной торговли относительно мирового ВВП (снижение ее эластичности к динамике совокупного спроса); падение интенсивности торговли в рамках ГЦС на фоне меняющихся экономических и технологических факторов, политики решоринга; ослабление либерализационных стимулов со стороны ВТО и торговых соглашений; приостановка увеличения доли развивающихся стран в торговле. Цифровая трансформация и четвертая промышленная революция будут оказывать сдерживающее влияние наразвитие международной торговли, по крайней мере, в ее традиционном понимании. Виртуальный сегмент глобальной торговли будет быстро расширяться, а сама торговля глубже интегрируется в национальные экономики и станет не столько торговлей между странами, сколько торговлей с участием компаний и граждан при посредстве облачных технологий.
Capillary Breakup of a Liquid Bridge: Identifying Regimes and Transitions

description: Computations of the breakup of a liquid bridge are used to establish the limits of applicability of similarity solutions derived for different breakup regimes. These regimes are based on particular viscous-inertial balances, that is different limits of the Ohnesorge number $Oh$. To accurately establish the transitions between regimes, the minimum bridge radius is resolved through four orders of magnitude using a purpose-built multiscale finite element method. This allows us to construct a quantitative phase diagram for the breakup phenomenon which includes the appearance of a recently discovered low-$Oh$ viscous regime. The method used to quantify the accuracy of the similarity solutions allows us to identify a number of previously unobserved features of the breakup, most notably an oscillatory convergence towards the viscous-inertial similarity solution. Finally, we discuss how the new findings open up a number of challenges for both theoretical and experimental analysis.

description: Electroluminescence imaging usually only qualitatively maps the local electrical performance of
photovoltaic modules. For example, due to their low luminescence intensity, cell cracks as well as partially and fully
disconnected cell areas are visible in case of modules built from crystalline silicon. However, so far, a direct quantitative
prediction of the electrical properties of modules just from electroluminescence images has yet to be accomplished.
Here, we present a novel two-image approach for calculating a local series resistance mapping of the total module.
Using the resistance mapping as simulation input, we straightforwardly predict the electrical performance of the total
module. The simulation model is based on a simplified series resistance area-element segmentation. We experimentally
validate and confirm the simulation results by the characterization of a photovoltaic module with cracked cells from
on-site hail impacts. The deviation of the predicted and directly measured current/voltage-curve is less than 4.3% at the
maximum power point.

description: Adaptive avian radiations associated with the diversification of bird beaks into a multitude of forms enabling different functions are exemplified by Darwin’s finches and Hawaiian honeycreepers. To elucidate the nature of these radiations, we quantified beak shape and skull shape using a variety of geometric measures that allowed us to collapse the variability of beak shape into a minimal set of geometric parameters. Furthermore, we find that just two measures of beak shape—the ratio of the width to length and the normalized sharpening rate (increase in the transverse beak curvature near the tip relative to that at the base of the beak)—are strongly correlated with diet. Finally, by considering how transverse sections to the beak centreline evolve with distance from the tip, we show that a simple geometry-driven growth law termed ‘modified mean curvature flow’ captures the beak shapes of Darwin’s finches and Hawaiian honeycreepers. A surprising consequence of the simple growth law is that beak shapes that are not allowed based on the developmental programme of the beak are also not observed in nature, suggesting a link between evolutionary morphology and development in terms of growth-driven developmental constraints.

description: Damage accumulation of solder bonds in 6-cell photovoltaic (PV) mini modules is evaluated for 9 locations covering a variety of climate types. Finite-element methods are used to simulate the inelastic deformation of the solder bonds induced by changes in module temperature and mismatched thermal expansion coefficients between materials in the module. It is shown that accumulated damage is a function of mean daily maximum module temperature, temperature fluctuation frequency and mean daily maximum temperature change, with the latter showing the strongest correlation to accumulated damage and being the most influencing factor. Damage accumulation is also calculated for the standard thermal cycling protocol, TC200, as outlined in the IEC61215. The number of standard thermal cycles required to generate the same damage as one year in the field for each climate is then determined.

description: Our paper reports on the comparison of different measurement methods including indoor front-side and double-side illumination. We present a measurement protocol with different irradiance level for front and the rear-side of bifacial modules, which can be used as input for energy rating approaches such as IEC61853-1. The indoor measurements are performed on a high flexible LED sun simulator with a separate rear-side illumination.
We present a comparison of the double-side measurement and the IEC60904-1-2 approach, which show a good agreement for lower rear-side illumination (±1%) but we observed higher deviation of ±5% for higher rear-side illumination e.g. 1000 W/m² (front) and 1000W/m² (rear). Furthermore, our results show that the used rear-side material influences the bifacial gain and it is wavelengths dependent. A transparent backsheet shows slightly higher performance at low light condition.

description: Demethylnobiletins are nobiletin metabolites, with 4′-demethylnobiletin being the most abundant in the demethylated compounds upon feeding with nobiletin. Previous studies have repeatedly shown that demethylnobiletin has higher physiological activity than nobiletin; however, no studies have yet suggested that 4′-demethylnobiletin could affect biological rhythms. Therefore, in the present study, we analyzed the effects of fermented Citrus reticulata, containing a large amount of 4′-demethylnobiletin, on the locomotor activity level, locomotor activity rhythms under normal light-dark and constant-dark conditions, and peripheral clock rhythms. We demonstrated that fermented Citrus reticulata not only modified the changes in the locomotor activity rhythms caused by high-fat diet feeding in mice but also inhibited the phase shift of the peripheral clock rhythms caused by high-fat diet feeding. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that fermented Citrus reticulata could potentially be a new functional food that could help to maintain normal biological rhythms.

description: Photocurrent mapping can provide useful spatial information about the electrical and optical
properties of a photovoltaic (PV) device under actual operating conditions. Although it is a well-established technique
for PV cells, direct current mapping measurements of PV modules is impractical and time-consuming to be applied.
One has to mechanically shade specific cells of the PV module or destructively access the cell to be measured. In this
work, non-destructive, automated current mapping of encapsulated PV modules is demonstrated. A commercial Digital
Light Processing (DLP) projector is utilised in order to apply compressive sampling for current mapping of PV
modules. This method is non-destructive, cost effective and significantly fewer measurements are needed for acquiring
a current map compared to raster scanning methods. When applying compressive sampling, a series of patterns is
projected on the sample, the current response is measured for each pattern and the current map is acquired using an
optimisation algorithm. Specific shading strategies, voltage bias settings and I-V curve details are investigated for
optimised compressive sampling.

 1955 Fistulipora petaloida sp. nov; Schulga−Nesterenko 1955: 70–71, pl. 7: 2, text−fig. 3e.
 Material.—Two fragments SMF 1737, 1759.
 Description.—Encrusting colony, commonly multilayered. Single sheets reaching 0.63 to 1.13 mm in thickness. Autozooecial apertures rounded to oval, spaced 2.5–4.0 in 2 mm on the colony surface in growth direction, separated usually by 1–2 rows of vesicles. Lunaria prominent, 0.21–0.29 mm wide and 0.09–0.21 mm long. Basal diaphragms thin, horizontal or slightly inclined, usually 1–2 in each autozooecium. Vesicles polygonal in cross−section, having rounded roofs in longitudinal section, spaced 9–10 in 1 mm colony thickness. Outer granular skeleton well developed, bearing small abundant styles.
 Discussion.—This species is similar to Dybowskiella (?= Fistulipora) lebedevi Nikiforova, 1933 from the Lower Carboniferous of the Donetsk Basin, Ukraine. However, the latter species has distinctly smaller lunaria —0.075 –0.100 versus 0.090 –0.210 mm long and 0.210 –0.290 mm wide in Fistulipora petaloida.
 Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Moscow River, Russian Plate; Kasimovian Stage, Upper Carboniferous. Picos de Europa Formation, Moscovian, Upper Carboniferous; La Hermida, Spain.

description: This paper proposes a mounting structure with low-reflective back-side panel to reduce the irradiance on the non-illuminated side of the bifacial PV module below 3 W/m2, as required by draft standard IEC TS 60904-1-2. The paper also demonstrates a method to quantify the irradiance on the non-illuminated side and construct a 2-D irradiance map. The irradiance map shows the effectiveness of mounting structure with back-side panel of two low-reflective materials (one has low diffusive reflectance and another has low specular reflectance), as they fulfil the requirement of draft standard. On the other hand, the characterisation results revealed the relationship between the optical properties of the low-reflective materials (i.e. diffusive versus specular reflectance) and the distance of the test modules from these materials, and their impact on the short-circuit current (ISC) of bifacial PV modules. It shows that the distance of the test modules from the low-reflective materials with high diffusive reflectance should be large enough to prevent the counter effect, in which the diffusive reflectance leads to an increase of ISC.

description: Основная цель предлагаемого исследования заключается в выявлении особенностей японской политики участия в региональных торговых соглашениях (РТС), сравнительном анализе основных положений РТС, подписанных Японией и выявлении эффекта участия в таких соглашениях на японскую внешнюю торговлю. За период с 1960-х гг. торговая политика Японии эволюционировала от принципа многосторонней торговой либерализации в рамках ГАТТ и АТЭС до торговой либерализациив рамках РТС. В ходе проведённого исследования было доказано, что японская политика подписания соглашений об экономическом партнерстве исходит из меньшей степени открытости национального рынка для товаров и услуг стран-партнеров; из стремления исключить из-под либерализации торговлю аграрными и рядом чувствительных промышленных товаров; практически не учитывается интеграционная модель ВТО+. Также было выявлено, что подавляющее большинство соглашений оказывают эффект создания торговли и создания инвестиций, т.е. японская интеграционная практика достаточно успешна.

description: Eveningness has previously been associated with more frequent mind wandering (MW). The current study re-investigated this association for components of circadian functioning, and MW typology. Questionnaire measures of Morning Affect, Eveningness, and (amplitude) Distinctness, deliberate and spontaneous MW, problem-solving daydreams, sleep quality, personality, affect, and life satisfaction were completed by 265 university students (aged 18–33, mean = 20.78), who also reported the peak time for daily MW and problem-solving daydreams. Spontaneous MW correlated with low Morning Affect and stronger Distinctness; these all correlated with poor sleep quality, less conscientiousness, less positive affect, less life satisfaction, more neuroticism, and more negative affect. Problem-solving daydreams positively correlated with Morning Affect. Significant mediators between morningness-eveningness and spontaneous MW were sleep quality, positive affect, and conscientiousness, which were also significant with Morning Affect as the predictor for spontaneous MW; sleep quality and positive affect were significant with Distinctness as the predictor for spontaneous MW. Exploratory path analysis indicated inter-relationships between Eveningness, Morning Affect, subjective sleep quality, conscientiousness, spontaneous MW, and negative affect. Spontaneous and deliberate MW showed some evidence of peak frequency at the non-preferred time-of-day. These results indicate that components of circadian functioning have varying relationships with different types of mind wandering/daydreaming.

Приведены конкретные примеры несоответствия отдельных текстов ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС смыслу, заложенному в первообразные англоязычные оригинальные тексты. Отмечено, что некорректность текстов и противоречивость терминов, создают проблемы при таможенном контроле правильности классификации товаров. Цифровые таможенные технологии, основанные на семантическом анализе, предполагают применение гармонизированных и однозначно понимаемых терминов. Обоснована необходимость проведения пересмотра правильности перевода и приведение текста ТН ВЭД ЕАЭС к максимальному соответствию ее международной основы.

description: We simulate the average annual current gain fbif,spe of bifacial PV modules versus monofacial PV modules for various ground albedos and mounting conditions. Our in-house developed ray tracing framework DAIDALOS is used to compute various spectrally resolved rear and front side photon flux. We demonstrate that the annual current gain fbif,spe and as a consequence the energy yield of a bifacial module may vary by up to 35%abs when considering different ground albedos and by up to 10%abs when considering different mounting heights. Considering the difference between using spectrally resolved albedo data and averaged albedo data with respect to wavelength, we find relative deviations in the bifacial gain of up to 19.5%rel. We find that the deviation is reduced to 2.6%rel by weighting the albedo with both the external quantum efficiency of the photovoltaic module and the spectrum.

description: Stateless code model checking is an effective verification technique, which is more applicable than stateful model checking to the software world. Existing stateless model checkers support the verification of neither LTL formulae nor the information flow security properties. This paper proposes a distributed stateless code model checker (DSCMC) designed based on the Actor model, and has the capability of verifying code written in different programming languages. This tool is implemented using Erlang, which is an actor-based programming language. DSCMC is able to detect deadlocks, livelocks, and data races automatically. In addition, the tool can verify information flow security and the properties specified in LTL. Thanks to its actor-based architecture, DSCMC provides a wide range of capabilities. The parallel architecture of the tool exploiting the rich concurrency model of Erlang is suited to the time-intensive process of stateless code model checking.
