description: Cadmium telluride in photovoltaics is a commercial technology that has reached the remarkable
efficiency of 21 %. This continuous progress of solar cells performance puts this technology as one of the most
interesting for mass production. But possible production increase would face the problem of tellurium scarcity, since
it is considered a rare element. It was reported that reduction of CdTe thickness down to 1μm – 1,5 μm could solve
this problem. In this work we endeavor to maximize the performance of ultra-thin CdTe solar cells with absorber
thickness of 1.5 μm in order to understand how the CdTe amount reduction is limiting the performance. We have
studied and optimized a vacuum evaporation process where substrate temperature does not exceed 450 °C. Among
many different thicknesses we have concentrated our efforts on 1.5 μm CdTe thin absorbers because it reduces the
typical limitations of thin devices such as formation of pin-holes and reduction of light absorption.
But, more interesting is that we have observed a dependence of performance from the CdS thickness which can not
be attributed only to an enhanced transmission of the buffer layer but probably to a different mechanism in the
formation of the junction. An optimized process has delivered an efficiency of more than 13 %, which is the highest
for devices made by vacuum evaporation.

description: We present a detailed study of the electric and magnetic fields, which are created on plasma vacuum interfaces as a result of highly intense laser-matter-interactions. For the field generation ultra-thin polymer foils were irradiated with high intensity femtosecond and picosecond laser pulses with ultra-high contrast. To determine the temporal evolution and the spatial distribution of these fields the proton streak deflectometry method has been developed further and applied in two different imaging configurations. It enabled us to gather complementary information about the investigated field structure, in particular about the influence of different field components (parallel and normal to the target surface) and the impact of a moving ion front. The applied ultra-high laser contrast significantly increased the reproducibility of the experiment and improved the accuracy of the imaging method. In order to explain the experimental observations, which were obtained by applying ultra-short laser pulses, two different analytical models have been studied in detail. Their ability to reproduce the streak deflectometry measurements was tested on the basis of three-dimensional particle simulations. A modification and combination of the two models allowed for an extensive and accurate reproduction of the experimental results in both imaging configurations. The controlled change of the laser pulse duration from 50 femtoseconds to 2.7 picoseconds led to a transition of the dominating force acting on the probing proton beam at the rear side of the polymer foil. The applied proton deflectometry method allowed for an unambiguous determination of the magnetic field polarity at the rear side of the ultra-thin foil.

description: Laser processing of wafers for solar cell production is used i.e. for the application of local laser
ablation of dielectric materials for PERC solar cell processing. In the present study 3 different laser-sources and
parameters were used for local-contact openings (LCO) on the rear side of the wafer with subsequent metallization.
For a microstructure analysis cross-sections have been prepared and investigated by means of scanning electron
microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). We detected in addition to the rear contacts with
Al/Si-phase (filled contact) formed voids (void contact) at expected filled contact positions which are caused by the
Kirkendall effect [6]. Filled and void contacts are found to be comparable in size and shape. Void contacts can be
differentiated in total and intermediate void formations. Detailed measurements revealed information about local rear
contact doping in according to the type of formed contact as well as microstructural details of the initial state of the
void contact formation process.

description: Tetrahydropalmatine have been experimentally reported to have promising biological applications, although detailed theoretical investigation on its structural activities regarding its potency as a potential anti-inflammatory drug candidate has not been reported. In that regard, this present work focuses on the experimental and theoretical investigation of tetrahydropalmatine. The studied structure was experimentally isolated followed by detailed theoretical calculations within the framework of density functional theory (DFT) employing the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Theoretical and experimental characterization of the structure was observed to agree as different functional groups were analyzed. Molecular electronic properties of the isolated compound were investigated using five different functionals: B3LYP, PBE0, TPSSTPSS, M06-2X, and wB97XD for comparative purposes which present isolated structure to be more reactive at PBE0 and more stable geometry at wB97XD levels of theory. The most intense interaction from perturbation energy analysis was from δ→δ* from PBEO with a stabilization energy of 108120.75 kcal/mol. The anti-inflammatory activity of the studied compound was investigated using the molecular docking simulations from which the results revealed that the proteins with PDB IDs: 4Z69, 5V0V, 6U4X, and 6U5A possess best pose binding affinities of −7.6, −6.8, −6.6 and −6.4 kcal/mol respectively.

description: The main objective of this work is to adapt the Laser Induced Forward Techniques (LIFT), a wellknown
laser direct writing technique for material transfer, to define metallic contacts (fingers and busbars) onto c-Si
cells. The silver paste (with viscosity around 30-50 kcPs) is applied over a glass substrate using a coater. The
thickness of the paste can be control changing the deposit parameters. The glass with the silver paste is set at a
controlled gap over the c-Si cell. A solid state pulsed laser (532 nm) is focused at the glass/silver interface producing
a droplet of silver that it is transferred to the c-Si cell. A scanner is used to print lines.
The process parameters (silver paste thickness, gap and laser parameters -spot size, pulse energy and overlapping of
pulses) are modified and the morphology of the lines is studied using confocal microscopy.
Long lines are printed and the uniformity (in thickness and height) is studied. Some examples of metallization of
larger areas (up to 10 cm x 10 cm) are presented.

description: In this paper, we proposed the impact of the rear
laser opening ratio applied to screen-printed passivated emitter
and rear cell (PERC) structure. We compared different laser
opening ratio (3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, and 5%) on a high-efficiency
level using 156×156 mm2 p-type Cz silicon wafers. It could be
found that employing the 5% opening ratio outperforms all other
opening ratio due to its excellent aluminum back surface field.
The average series resistance of the 5% opening ratio PERC solar
cells was also smaller than all other opening ratio solar cells.
Besides, by using the 5% opening ratio PERC solar cells, the
conversion efficiencies of 20.51% for the best PERC solar cell and
20.15% for the average of more than 100,000 mass production
PERC solar cells were measured.

description: It is currently known from the work of Shoup and Nechaev that a generic algorithm to solve the discrete logarithm problem in a group of prime order must have complexity at least $k\sqrt{N}$ where $N$ is the order of the group. In many collision search algorithms this complexity is achieved. So with generic algorithms one can only hope to make the $k$ smaller. This $k$ depends on the complexity of the iterative step in the generic algorithms. The $\sqrt{N}$ comes from the fact there is about $\sqrt{N}$ iterations before a collision. So if we can find ways that can reduce the amount of work in one iteration then that is of great interest and probably the only possible modification of a generic algorithm. The modified $r$-adding walk allegedly does just that. It claims to reduce the amount of work done in one iteration of the original $r$-adding walk. In this paper we study this modified $r$-adding walk, we critically analyze it and we compare it with the original $r$-adding walk.

description: The majority of PV market is covered by p-type c-Si based solar cells, having metal contacts produced
by screen printing. Common screen printable Aluminum pastes, due to their chemical properties are able to form deep
and effective Back Surface Filed (BSF), providing also low surface recombination velocity. According to the actual
industrial state of the art the wet laydown of screen printable Al paste is in the range of 1.4-1.6g per cell, nearly 6-7
mg per printed cm2. This reflects in a cost per cell of 0.02-0.035€. In the roadmap to reduce the solar cell
manufacturing costs, a lower laydown is a goal, which also could reflect in lower cell bowing after firing process.
However it is not immediate to obtain the same electric performances reducing the Al available to form the BSF. In
this paper we investigate the possibility to produce a lower laydown of Al paste which ensures the same electrical
performances of a standard Al paste thickness, through the understanding of BSF formation mechanism and electrical
properties of the paste in correlation with its formulation. To optimize the effect of the available metal, we have
produced several Al pastes by screening different Al powder granulometry mix and frits to obtain good values of
Voc, FF and BSF homogeneity comparable to those produced by standard screen printable Al pastes.

description: Relativistic energy-density functional (REDF) theory has been developed and utilized for self-consistent meanfield calculations of atomic nuclei. The proton-emitting radioactivity can provide a suitable reference to improve the predicting ability of REDF especially on the proton-drip line. One needs to consider the quantum tunneling effect, which plays an essential role in nucleon-emitting radioactive processes. However, the relativistic quantum tunneling has been less investigated compared with the non-relativistic case. This work is devoted to a theoretical evaluation of one-proton ($1p$) radioactivity based on the relativistic Dirac formalism. For this purpose, I develop the time-dependent (TD) Dirac-spinor calculation to simulate the $1p$ emission. By utilizing the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) calculation with the DD-PCX parameters, single-proton potentials for the time-dependent Dirac spinor are determined. The TD-Dirac calculation is applied to the $1p$ emissions from the $^{37}$Sc and $^{39}$Sc nuclei, which can be well approximated as the valence proton and the proton-close-shell cores. The sensitivity of $1p$-emission energy and decaying width to the mass number is demonstrated. Remarkable sensitivity exists due to the size of system, which affects the nuclear part of potentials and energy levels, whereas the Coulomb barrier is common with the same atomic number. The calculated $1p$ energy and decaying lifetime are roughly consistent to the experimental limitation. The present TD-Dirac calculation is expected as applicable widely to proton-rich nuclides in order to improve the REDF by utilizing the $1p$-emission data.

description: As silicon solar cell technology featuring screen printed silver paste continues to mature, the cost of the
front side conductor continues to grow as a percentage of the overall manufacturing cost. A cell concept based on
electroplated nickel and copper contacts offers a significant cost savings, as well as a benefit to cell efficiency through
reduced shading and lower contact and line resistance. This work details a new, simplified metallization process
featuring pico-second laser ablation of the ARC combined with single-sided plating from a novel, high-speed copper
formulation. More importantly, we present the details of a low cost scale-up of the metallization process on high volume
mass production tools, plus fabrication of industrial modules and reliability testing according to IEC specifications.
Electrical and adhesion data is presented on a statistically comprehensive sample set, proving the benefits of the new
contact structure. These data offer the combined benefit of improved efficiency, a sizeable reduction in cell materials
cost, and a clear pathway for the implementation of the process on a mass production scale.

description: Tensors have become prevalent in business applications and scientific studies. It is of great interest to analyze and understand the heterogeneity in tensor-variate observations. We propose a novel tensor low-rank mixture model (TLMM) to conduct efficient estimation and clustering on tensors. The model combines the Tucker low-rank structure in mean contrasts and the separable covariance structure to achieve parsimonious and interpretable modeling. To implement efficient computation under this model, we develop a low-rank enhanced expectation-maximization (LEEM) algorithm. The pseudo E-step and the pseudo M-step are carefully designed to incorporate variable selection and efficient parameter estimation. Numerical results in extensive experiments demonstrate the encouraging performance of the proposed method compared to popular vector and tensor methods. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We present the discovery of 15 extremely low mass (5 < log{g} < 7) white dwarf candidates, 9 of which are in ultra-compact double-degenerate binaries. Our targeted ELM Survey sample now includes 76 binaries. The sample has a lognormal distribution of orbital periods with a median period of 5.4 hr. The velocity amplitudes imply that the binary companions have a normal distribution of mass with 0.76 Msun mean and 0.25 Msun dispersion. Thus extremely low mass white dwarfs are found in binaries with a typical mass ratio of 1:4. Statistically speaking, 95% of the white dwarf binaries have a total mass below the Chandrasekhar mass and thus are not Type Ia supernova progenitors. Yet half of the observed binaries will merge in less than 6 Gyr due to gravitational wave radiation; probable outcomes include single massive white dwarfs and stable mass transfer AM CVn binaries.

description: We argue that the notion of identical particles is no longer well defined in quantum systems governed by non-commutative deformations of space-time symmetries. Such models are characterized by four-momentum space given by a non-abelian Lie group. Our analysis is based on the observation that, for states containing more than one particle, only the total momentum of the system is a well defined quantum number. Such total momentum is obtained from the non-abelian composition of the particles individual momenta which are no longer uniquely defined. The main upshot of our analysis is that all previous attempts to construct Fock spaces for these models rested on wrong assumptions and indeed have been unsuccessful. We also show how the natural braiding of momentum quantum numbers which characterizes the exchange of factors in the tensor product of states is covariant under relativistic transformations thus solving a long standing problem in the field.

description: Conventional screen printing based crystalline silicon solar cell process dominates the silicon solar cell
industry due to its ease adaptability in the production industry. The metallization is the crucial process in the silicon solar
cell fabrication because it realizes the contacts and hence the electrical parameters. Screen printing of the desired contact
pattern and firing is the well - known and optimized process in the silicon PV industry. High throughput and fast inline
process are the major advantages of widely developed present screen printing technology. However the screen printing
has its own limitations such as printing finer grid lines, spreading faster over cell etc. Hence it is important to explore the
alternate metallization technique to screen printing technology, which should be better than the conventional one.
Researchers found that inclusion of the selected pre-metallization process greatly enhances the electrical performance
compared to the conventional screen printing technology. One such a pre-metallization process is patterning the dielectric
coatings followed by metallization. In this present work, a novel technique based on the foresaid patterning technique,
named as electro discharge machines (EDM) wire technique has been applied for making finer grid lines by patterning
the anti-reflective coatings with etch paste. The surface and the quasi photoconductive decay studies on these patterned
cells were carried out. The results are interpreted and incorporated.

description: Through analyzing the $B_{(s)}$ charmed decays $B^{0}\to \bar D_{0}f_0(980)$ and $B_{s}\to \bar D_{0}f_0(980)$ within the framework of the PQCD factorization approach and comparing with the current data, we find that there are two possible regions for the $f_0(980)-f_0(500)$ mixing angle $θ$: one is centered at $34^\circ\sim38^\circ$ and the other is falls into $142^\circ\sim154^\circ$. The former can overlap mostly with one of allowed angle regions extracted from the decay $B^{0}\to \bar D_{0}f_0(500)$. The branching fractions of $B_s$ decay modes are less sensitive to the mixing angle compared with those of B decay modes. Especially, for the decay $B_{s}\to D^0 f_0(980)$, its branching fraction changes only slightly between $(1.2\sim1.8)\times10^{-7}$ when the mixing angle $θ$ runs from $0^\circ$ to $180^\circ$. All of our results support the picture that the $f_0(980)$ is dominated by two quark component in the B decay dynamic mechanism. Furthermore, the $s\bar s$ component is more important than the $q\bar q=(u\bar u+d\bar d)/\sqrt{2}$ component. This point is different from $f_0(500)/σ$. Last but not least, our picture is not in conflict with the popular four-quark explanation.

description: BACKGROUND: A variety of advanced practice nursing roles and titles have proliferated in response to the changing demands of a population characterized by increasing age and chronic illness. Whilst similarly identified as advanced practice roles, they do not share a common practice profile, educational requirements or legislative direction. The lack of clarity limits comparative research that can inform policy and health service planning. AIMS: To identify advanced practice roles within nursing titles employed in New Zealand and practice differences between advanced practice and other roles. METHOD: Replicating recent Australian research, 3255 registered nurses/nurse practitioners in New Zealand completed the amended Advanced Practice Delineation survey tool. The mean domain scores of the predominant advanced practice position were compared with those of other positions. Differences between groups were explored using one-way ANOVA and post hoc between group comparisons. RESULTS: Four nursing position bands were identified: nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, domain-specific and registered nurse. Significant differences between the bands were found on many domain scores. The nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist bands had the most similar practice profiles, nurse practitioners being more involved in direct care and professional leadership. CONCLUSIONS: Similar to the position of clinical nurse consultant in Australia, those practicing as clinical nurse specialists were deemed to reflect the threshold for advanced practice nursing. The results identified different practice patterns for the identified bands and distinguish the advanced practice nursing roles. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING POLICY: By replicating the Australian study of Gardener et al. (2016), this NZ paper extends the international data available to support more evidence-based nursing workforce planning and policy development.

description: BACKGROUND: There is a wealth of international evidence concerning the contribution post-registration master's level education makes to advancing the discipline of nursing. There are approximately 277 nurse practitioners registered in NZ, but they account for only a small portion of nurses who have undertaken master's level education. The additional contribution these nurses make to the work environment through advanced practice activities has not, hitherto, been documented. OBJECTIVES: To report the extent of advanced practice nurse activity associated with various levels of nursing education in a sample of nurses working in clinical practice in New Zealand. METHOD: A replication of recent Australian research was done via a national cross-sectional survey of 3255 registered nurses and nurse practitioners in New Zealand using an online questionnaire to collect responses to the amended Advanced Practice Delineation survey tool. In addition, demographic data were collected including position titles and levels of postgraduate education. RESULTS: A positive association was found between postgraduate education at any level and more time spent in advanced practice activities. Independent of level of postgraduate education, the role a nurse holds also effects the extent of involvement in advanced practice activities. CONCLUSIONS: There is an additional contribution made to the work environment by nurses with master's level education which occurs even when they are not employed in an advanced practice role. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING POLICY: These findings are of significance to workforce policy and planning across the globe as countries work to sustain health services by increasing nursing capacity effectively within available resources.

description: Recent results in deeply subwavelength thickness films demonstrated coherent control and logical gate operations with both classical and single photon light sources. However, quantum processing and devices typically involve more than one photon and non-trivial input quantum states. Here we experimentally investigate two-photon N00N state coherent absorption in a multilayer graphene film. Depending on the N00N state input phase, it is possible to selectively choose between single or two photon absorption of the input state in the graphene film. These results demonstrate that coherent absorption in the quantum regime exhibits unique features opening up applications in multiphoton spectroscopy and imaging.

Federal Criminal Sentencing: Race-Based Disparate Impact and Differential Treatment in Judicial Districts

Subjects: Legal institutions (incl. courts and justice systems)

description: Race-based inequity in federal criminal sentencing is widely acknowledged, and yet our understanding of it is far from complete. Inequity may arise from several sources, including direct bias of courtroom actors and structural bias that produces racially disparate impacts. Irrespective of these sources, inequity may also originate from different loci within the federal system. We bring together the questions of the sources and loci of inequity, quantifying race-based disparate impact and differential treatment at the national level and at the level of individual federal judicial districts. We study over one-half million sentencing records from the United States Sentencing Commission database, spanning the years 2006 to 2020. At the system-wide level, Black and Hispanic defendants receive average sentences that are approximately 19 months longer and 5 months longer, respectively. Demographic factors and sentencing guideline elements account for nearly 17 of the 19 months for Black defendants and all five of the months for Hispanic defendants, demonstrating disparate impact of the system at the national level. At the individual district level, even after controlling for each district's unique demographics and implementation of sentencing factors, 14 districts show significant differences for minoritized defendants as compared to white ones. These unexplained differences are evidence of possible differential treatment by judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys.

description: Recent controversy regarding the existence of massive (log(M/Msun)>11) galaxies at z>6 poses a challenge for galaxy formation theories. Hence, it is of critical importance to understand the effects of SED fitting methods on stellar mass estimates of Epoch of Reionization galaxies. In this work, we perform a case study on the AGN host galaxy candidate COS-87259 with spectroscopic redshift z=6.853, that is claimed to have an extremely high stellar mass of log(M/Msun)~11.2. We test a suite of different SED fitting algorithms and stellar population models on our independently measured photometry in 17 broad bands for this source. Between five different code setups, the stellar mass estimates for COS-87259 span log(M/Msun)=10.24-11.00, whilst the reduced chi-squared values of the fits are all close to unity within dchi2=1.2, so that the quality of the SED fits is basically indistinguishable. Only when we adopt a nonparametric star formation history model within Prospector do we retrieve a stellar mass exceeding log(M/Msun)=11. Although the derived stellar masses change when using previously reported photometry for this source, the nonparametric SED-fitting method always yields the highest values. As these models are becoming increasingly popular for James Webb Space Telescope high-redshift science, we stress the absolute importance of testing various SED fitting routines particularly on apparently very massive galaxies at such high redshifts.
