description: This digest is the last in a series of three on plastic pipe. Reinforced thermosetting plastic-based pipes, because of their higher cost, constitute only a small percentage of the total plastic pipes in use. These pipes are used where higher strength or resistance to higher temperatures are required. The digest describes the general nature of reinforced thermosetting materials with respect to composition, fabrication, properties and applications, and discusses in detail two major types of pipe products in this class, glass-fibre reinforced polyester (GRP) and glass- fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE).

description: In this work the formation of local p+-layers processed by small screen-printed Al-structures is investigated
in comparison to a full area metallization. For a better understanding of the alloying process in an industrial belt furnace
investigations on full area samples were performed varying the Al-paste amount and firing conditions. The samples were
characterized by sheet resistance measurements for a fast determination of thickness and doping of the Al-p+-layers. For
deeper analyses scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures of some samples were taken in order to analyse
homogeneity and thickness of different layers. The results of these analyses are compared to a simple model of the
alloying process. So some major effects limiting the formation of thick p+-layers e.g. for high paste amounts could be
determined. For small screen-printed structures a homogenous and very thick p+-layer could be observed. Surprisingly
small printed structures result in a thicker p+-layer then corresponding fully metalized areas even if processed on the
same wafer. The reason for this effect is probably the higher energy input from areas between printed fingers.

description: We investigate the spin-resolved transport in a two-terminal zigzag graphene nanoribbon device with two independent gate induced Rashba spin-orbit coupling regions and in the presence of strain. By employing a recursive Green's function technique to the tight-binding model for the graphene nanoribbon, we calculate the spin-resolved conductance of the system. We show that by switching the sign of one of the gates it is possible to select which spin component will be transmitted. Moreover, our results show that an uniaxial strain applied to the nanoribbon plays a significant role in the transport, providing and additional manner to control the spin-polarized conductance. This makes the present system a potential candidate for future implementations of spin-based mechanical strain sensors.

description: This work reports on the long-term thermal stability of highly efficient organic photovoltaic devices
(OPVs) based on donor-acceptor copolymers. Photocrosslinkable derivatives of a thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6-dione
(TPD)-based polymer were developed and used as electron donating material in BHJ solar cells. By synthetically
tuning the amount of photocrosslinkable moiety in the polymer and by employing UV-mediated photocrosslinking, it
was possible to fabricate OPV devices with high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and excellent thermal stability.
In particular, after 72 h of thermal annealing at 150 °C, an average PCE of 4.6% was obtained with a short circuit
current density (J
SC) of 10.1 mA/cm2, an open circuit voltage (V
OC) of 0.85 V, and a fill factor (FF) of 54%. The
peak PCE obtained was as high as 4.7%. In addition, the choice of fullerene acceptor in the BHJ was found to be
critical not only for achieving high PCE but also for stabilizing the morphology of the active layer at high
temperature. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed to investigate the surface morphology of the active
layer in both crosslinked and non-crosslinked films before and after annealing.

description: We consider the physical situations where the resource theories of coherence and thermodynamics play competing roles. In particular, we study the creation of quantum coherence using unitary operations with limited thermodynamic resources. We first find the maximal coherence that can be created under unitary operations starting from a thermal state and find explicitly the unitary transformation that creates the maximal coherence. Since coherence is created by unitary operations starting from a thermal state, it requires some amount of energy. This motivates us to explore the trade-off between the amount of coherence that can be created and the energy cost of the unitary process. We find the maximal achievable coherence under the constraint on the available energy. Additionally, we compare the maximal coherence and the maximal total correlation that can be created under unitary transformations with the same available energy at our disposal. We find that when maximal coherence is created with limited energy, the total correlation created in the process is upper bounded by the maximal coherence and vice versa. For two qubit systems we show that there does not exist any unitary transformation that creates maximal coherence and maximal total correlation simultaneously with a limited energy cost.

description: Zosterops gouldi warreni Mathews Zosterops gouldi warreni Mathews, 1916a: 62 (Warren River, South-west Australia). Now Zosterops lateralis chloronotus Gould, 1841. See Mees, 1969: 12–29, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 687–691, and van Balen, 2008: 467–468. LECTOTYPE: AMNH 700844, adult male, collected on the Warren River, 34.36S, 115.50E (Johnstone and Storr, 2004: 514), Western Australia, Australia, on 12 February 1910, by Thomas Carter. From the Mathews Collection (no. 6111) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews said only that the type was from the Warren River. Carter’s original label for the above specimen was labeled ‘‘warreni Type’’ by Mathews and his catalog number was written on the label, although this was not given in the description. Mees (1969: 20) listed AMNH 700844 as the type, thereby designating it the lectotype. Mathews had a second specimen, paralectotype AMNH 700845, female, collected on the Warren River on 13 February 1910 by Carter. I did not find it listed in Mathews’ catalog, but by the time warreni was published on 7 April 1916, Mathews’ (1942: 54) collection was complete. Even though listed as the type by Mees, the lectotype had not been included in the AMNH type collection; it now bears an AMNH type label and is housed with the types.

description: There are three basic methods for controlling fire hazards in buildings: prohibition, isolation and protection. It is often difficult for a designer to choose the most appropriate method or combination of methods. A fire protection analysis is required to evaluate the fire hazards and their effects on the building, the occupants and the contents. The fire hazard is defined in terms of the fuel load and fire growth. The impact of the fire on the structure is assessed with respect to the ability of the structure to continue to carry imposed loads and the ability of the building elements to act as barriers to fire and smoke. The impact of the fire on the occupants is examined with respect to the mobility of the occupants and the relative locations of the fire and the occupants. Control of the fire hazard with respect to the contents is based largely on economics. The digest discusses each of the factors which must be considered in a fire protection analysis and describes the control system employed at the Royal Bank Centre in Ottawa.

description: The crystallization process of amorphous silicon (a-Si) and hydrogenated a-Si (a-Si:H) films by solid
phase crystallization (SPC) was monitored by in-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD). The expanding thermal plasma CVD
(ETP CVD) and electron beam (EB) evaporation were used for the deposition of a-Si:H and a-Si films, respectively.
The properties of the a-Si(:H) films were determined prior to crystallization by Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and XRD. The crystallization process was investigated by using a high
temperature chamber adapted for “in situ” monitoring by XRD. These experiments were carried out at temperatures
in the range of 580 to 620 °C and provided us with information about the transition of the amorphous to the
polycrystalline state. The transition behavior differed for films with and without the presence of hydrogen. The
presence of hydrogen affected the annealing time required for full crystallization. The phase transformation is
slightly influenced by the presence of boron in the a-Si films. After full crystallization, no remaining amorphous
material was detected in both a-Si and a-Si:H films using Raman spectroscopy.

description: The popularity of Artificial intelligence and machine learning have prompted researchers to use it in the recent researches. The proposed method uses K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm for segmentation of medical images, extracting of image features for analysis by classifying the data based on the neural networks. Classification of the images in medical imaging is very important, KNN is one suitable algorithm which is simple, conceptual and computational, which provides very good accuracy in results. KNN algorithm is a unique user-friendly approach with wide range of applications in machine learning algorithms which are majorly used for the various image processing applications including classification, segmentation and regression issues of the image processing. The proposed system uses gray level co-occurrence matrix features. The trained neural network has been tested successfully on a group of echocardiographic images, errors were compared using regression plot. The results of the algorithm are tested using various quantitative as well as qualitative metrics and proven to exhibit better performance in terms of both quantitative and qualitative metrics in terms of current state-of-the-art methods in the related area. To compare the performance of trained neural network the regression analysis performed showed a good correlation.

description: The operation of an air exhaust system or fuel-burning appliance removes air from the house, creating a negative pressure in the building. If too much air is removed and the negative pressure becomes large enough, the natural flow of gases up the furnace chimney can be reversed. The flow of combustion products into the home can create a danger of carbon monoxide poisoning. The digest describes a study conducted to determine the relationship between carbon monoxide poisoning and the air tightness of a house.

Measurement of transverse energy at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 2.76$ TeV

description: We report the transverse energy ($E_{\mathrm T}$) measured with ALICE at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions at ${\sqrt{s_{\mathrm {NN}}}}$ = 2.76 TeV as a function of centrality. The transverse energy was measured using identified single particle tracks. The measurement was cross checked using the electromagnetic calorimeters and the transverse momentum distributions of identified particles previously reported by ALICE. The results are compared to theoretical models as well as to results from other experiments. The mean $E_{\mathrm T}$ per unit pseudorapidity ($η$), $\langle $d$E_{\mathrm T}/$d$η\rangle$, in 0-5% central collisions is 1737 $\pm$ 6(stat.) $\pm$ 97(sys.) GeV. We find a similar centrality dependence of the shape of $\langle $d$E_{\mathrm T}/$d$η\rangle$ as a function of the number of participating nucleons to that seen at lower energies. The growth in $\langle $d$E_{\mathrm T}/$d$η\rangle$ at the LHC ${\sqrt{s_{\mathrm {NN}}}}$ exceeds extrapolations of low energy data. We observe a nearly linear scaling of $\langle $d$E_{\mathrm T}/$d$η\rangle$ with the number of quark participants. With the canonical assumption of a 1 fm/$c$ formation time, we estimate that the energy density in 0-5% central Pb-Pb collisions at ${\sqrt{s_{\mathrm {NN}}}}$ = 2.76 TeV is 12.3 $\pm$ 1.0 GeV/fm$^3$\xspace and that the energy density at the most central 80 fm$^2$ of the collision is at least 21.5 $\pm$ 1.7 GeV/fm$^3$. This is roughly 2.3 times that observed in 0-5% central Au-Au collisions at ${\sqrt{s_{\mathrm {NN}}}}$ = 200 GeV.

description: A new double sided inline diffusion is compared to single sided inline diffusion. We use a Centrotherm
inline furnace with its walking string wafer transport system together with a patented liquid phosphorus dopant.
Compared to POCl3 emitter diffusion, single sided inline diffusion led often to lower efficiencies. We observed that this
efficiency can be raised by a double sided inline diffusion. High resolution light beam induced current (LBIC) topograms
show which parts of the solar cell are improved by the double sided diffusion. The effect is investigated for different
diffusion temperatures and times.

description: We introduce a new suite of radiation-hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation and reionization called Aurora. The Aurora simulations make use of a spatially adaptive radiative transfer technique that lets us accurately capture the small-scale structure in the gas at the resolution of the hydrodynamics, in cosmological volumes. In addition to ionizing radiation, Aurora includes galactic winds driven by star formation and the enrichment of the universe with metals synthesized in the stars. Our reference simulation uses 2x512^3 dark matter and gas particles in a box of size 25 comoving Mpc/h with a force softening scale of at most 0.28 kpc/h. It is accompanied by simulations in larger and smaller boxes and at higher and lower resolution, employing up to 2x1024^3 particles, to investigate numerical convergence. All simulations are calibrated to yield simulated star formation rate (SFR) functions in close agreement with observational constraints at redshift z = 7 and to achieve reionization at z = 8.3, which is consistent with the observed optical depth to reionization. We focus on the design and calibration of the simulations and present some first results. The median stellar metallicities of low-mass galaxies at z = 6 are consistent with the metallicities of dwarf galaxies in the Local Group, which are believed to have formed most of their stars at high redshifts. After reionization, the mean photoionization rate decreases systematically with increasing resolution. This coincides with a systematic increase in the abundance of neutral hydrogen absorbers in the IGM.

See Mees, 1969: 30–70, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 687–691, and van Balen, 2008: 467–468. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 701090, adult male, collected at Devonport, 41.10S, 146.21E (USBGN, 1957), Tasmania, Australia, on 12 February 1909, by T[homas] C[arter]. From the Mathews Collection (no. 2840) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave his catalog number of the holotype and the range of tasmanica as ‘‘ Tasmania.’’ AMNH 701090 bears, in addition to the field label, a Mathews type label with his catalog number, and a Rothschild type label; a description of it was included in Mathews (1923a: 138), where it was confirmed as the type of tasmanica. It was also listed by Mees (1969: 60) as the type of tasmanica. Four additional Mathews Collection specimens from Tasmania came to AMNH, but label data are minimal and I was unable to determine when Mathews received them. I do not consider them paratypes. Another specimen was collected on Mount Arthur, Tasmania, on 3 December 1912, after the publication of tasmanica. The collecting locality of the holotype was miscopied onto the Rothschild label as ‘‘Davenport.’’ For use of 180l as the date of Latham’s Supplementum Indicis Ornithologici see Schodde et al. (2010).

description: The coupled quantum dynamics of excitonic and vibrational degrees of freedom is investigated for high-dimensional models of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex. This includes a seven and an eight-site model with 518 and 592 harmonic vibrational modes, respectively. The coupling between local electronic transitions and vibrations is described within the Huang-Rhys model using parameters that are obtained by discretization of an experimental spectral density. Different pathways of excitation energy flow are analyzed in terms of the reduced one-exciton density matrix, focussing on the role of vibrational and vibronic excitation. Distinct features due to both competing time scales of vibrational and exciton motion and vibronically-assisted transfer are observed. The question of the effect of initial state preparation is addressed by comparing the case of an instantaneous Franck-Condon excitation at a single site with that of a laser field excitation.

description: The main issue of solar cell research field is the reduction of the fabrication cost. Due to the combination
of thin film absorbing silicon (<5μm) and a low cost substrate, polysilicon thin film on glass can be a good candidate towards
this objective. Additionally the interdigitated back contact solar cell (IBC SC) structure is the most suitable. Especially, IBC
SC has the advantage of no shading losses and of the simplicity of module connection. Using a numerical simulation of
DESSIS (ISE TCAD 8.5), we have designed an optimal IBC SC architecture. We discuss these theoretical results versus the
diffusion length of the base material. Some solar cells have been fabricated with different contact geometries (contacts width,
contacts spacing …). We therefore can compare the experimental and simulated results, taking also into account the
technological limits. Finally, a simplified process without any alignment is proposed.

description: For achieving a monolithic series connection of cells in a Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin film module, the
combination of laser scribing and mechanical scribing is used. Defects in these scribing processes can severely
deteriorate the module efficiency. We investigate the influence of a defect mechanical scribing of the transparent
conductive oxide (TCO), which is the front contact of a CIGS module, on the current and voltage distribution in
the module. We first present a detailed explanation of the defect mechanisms that typically result from a TCO
scribing defect. In a second step we confirm the general explanation with simulation results. Finally, we explain
how the defect mechanisms influence the appearance of TCO scribing defects in electroluminescence (EL)
images and thus, how they can be identified quickly in EL measurements.

description: Socioeconomic inequalities in cities are embedded in space and result in neighborhood effects, whose harmful consequences have proved very hard to counterbalance efficiently by planning policies alone. Considering redistribution of money flows as a first step toward improved spatial equity, we study a bottom-up approach that would rely on a slight evolution of shopping mobility practices. Building on a database of anonymized credit card transactions in Madrid and Barcelona, we quantify the mobility effort required to reach a reference situation where commercial income is evenly shared among neighborhoods. The redirections of shopping trips preserve key properties of human mobility, including travel distances. Surprisingly, for both cities only a small fraction ($\sim 5 \%$) of trips need to be altered to reach equity situations, improving even other sustainability indicators. The method could be implemented in mobile applications that would assist individuals in reshaping their shopping practices, to promote the spatial redistribution of opportunities in the city.

description: Partial shading of PV arrays can be observed in many building integrated PV plants (BIPVs). The occurrence will rise when shaded roofs will become attractive for PV applications caused by decreasing system price. Reminding that PVplants have a lifetime of 20-30 years shadowing may affect nearly all building integrated PV plants. Optimal handling of shadow is important for initial operation as well as for future operation, because shading may be a phenomena caused by vegetation and buildings in the neighborhood of any plant.

description: Le fonctionnement d'un ventilateur d'extraction ou d'un appareil de combustion provoque un appauvrissement en air à l'intérieur de la maison et crée une dépression dans le bâtiment. Si on extrait trop d'air, la dépression peut devenir assez importante, pour inverser l'ascension naturelle des gaz dans la cheminée de la chaudière. Le refoulement des produits de combustion dans la maison peut créer un risque d'oxycarbonisme. Ce Digeste présente une étude de la relation existant entre l'étanchéité à l'air d' une maison et l'oxycarbonisme.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 701145, adult male, collected near Kingston, 29.04S, 167.57E (Times Atlas), Norfolk Island, Australia, on 8 April 1913, by Roy Bell (no. 930). From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, Mathews gave Bell’s unique field number of the holotype. Mathews’ collection had already been purchased by Rothschild when this subspecies was named, and Mathews listed the type as in the Rothschild Collection ‘‘ex Mathews Collection.’’ The Mathews Collection had held a large number of specimens collected on Norfolk in December 1912 through June 1913 by Bell, and all of these would have been available to Mathews in 1929; they were not entered in his catalog. Paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 701138– 701144, 701146–701176; I did not find AMNH 701139 in the collection.

description: We prove two new universality results for polynomial reproducing kernels of compactly supported measures. The first applies to measures on the unit circle with a jump and a singularity in the weight at $1$ and the second applies to area-type measures on a certain disconnected polynomial lemniscate. In both cases, we apply methods developed by Lubinsky to obtain our results.

description: Resistive defects (shunts) in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) based solar modules significantly affect the module
efficiency. The combination of electroluminescence (EL) and dark lock-in thermography (DLIT) imaging techniques
represents a useful tool for the investigation of such defects. In a detailed study on shunts in a 30×30 cm2 CIGS module
we found a strong correlation between local EL and local DLIT images of the shunts. With the help of a SPICE based
model using an adaptive variable mesh we were able to demonstrate that the EL images contain information on the
resistance of the front and the back contacts whereas the DLIT measurements are more sensitive to shunt resistance.

description: Par ses nombreuses qualités, le béton se prête à de multiples conceptions nouvelles. Non seulement il peut être moulé dans les formes les plus diverses, mais il a une excellente résistance à la compression, une grande rigidité, une faible conductivité thermique et électrique, il est peu combustible et peu toxique. Deux caractéristiques ont néanmoins limité son utilisation : il est fragile et résiste mal à la traction. Cependant, la récente mise au point de produits composites renforcés de fibres dans les secteurs de l'aérospatiale et des plastiques a offert la possibilité de pallier ces lacunes. Ce Digest décrit les propriétés générales et l'utilisation en construction du béton renforcé de fibres. La promesse d'éléments plus minces, plus résistants, plus légers et moins sujets à la fissuration par la simple addition d'une petite quantité de fibres rend cette innovation très intéressante.

description: The impact of vacancy diffusion on the dynamics of pore growth in silicon under stress during high
temperature annealing is studied. An analogy is made with void growth by stress induced diffusive mass
transfer in Al interconnection lines. Three analytical models in which the stress is constant with time,
relaxing with void growth or related to an ultimate mass transfer are investigated. It is found that stress
induced diffusion leads to small to moderate pore expansion but cannot be responsible of significant
macropore channeling between neighboring pores (pore coalescence) in porous silicon subjected to
reasonable thermal annealing budgets, except if the stress in the material is excessively high.

description: The transfer process invented and developed at ipe enables the fabrication of 50 m thin
monocrystalline silicon solar cells with efficiencies up to 17.0 %. Simulations as well as cells fabricated on thinned
wafers with thicknesses of 50 m show an efficiency potential above 21 %. In the past much research work
concentrated on the back side passivation due to the fact that thin solar cells are more affected by back side
recombination. However, back side passivation of transfer cells shows a limited open circuit voltage of 630 mV. In
contrast, using the same passivation on wafered material, we achieved an open circuit voltage of 670 mV. This
contribution shows that the limitation of the open circuit voltage of transfer cells is due to platinum contamination,
which stems from one step used in the transfer process, namely porous silicon fabrication. Simulations predict open
circuit voltage up to 700 mV by suppressing the Pt contamination at back side recombination velocity of 100 cm/s.
