description: SOLAR-ERA.NET – a network that brings together more than 20 national and regional RTD and innovation programmes in the field of solar electricity technologies in the European Research Area (ERA) – has been working together for more than a decade, providing funding to highly innovative transnational RDTI projects involving some 500 organisations, and further improving transnational cooperation both in the solar power sector and between national funding agencies [1]. Eight Joint Calls have been launched promoting priority topics identified by the European Technology and Innovation Platform Photovoltaics (ETIP-PV). Similar to other relevant energy ERA-Net’s, the SOLAR-ERA.NET network is about to be integrated into a thematically much larger and energy system-oriented network called Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETPartnership) that can seamlessly build on the momentum the ERA-Net’s have created over the last 15 years. CETPartnership is a new transnational initiative on joint research, technological development and innovation (RTDI) programming to boost and accelerate the energy transition in Europe, building upon regional and national RTDI funding programmes. CETPartnership enables some 50 national and regional RTDI programmes from 30 countries to align their priorities, pool national budgets, as well as to implement annual joint calls each with an average budget of some 100 million euros from 2022 to 2027. The first joint call is launched in September 2022 and is based on the CETPartnership Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) [2] with respect to the topics and challenges addressed in this joint call. Via the European Technology and Innovation Platform Photovoltaics and its Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda” (SRIA) for Photovoltaics [3]. This contribution shall present i) key figures and findings from the long cooperation of national programmes in SOLARERA.NET and ii) the new CETPartnership and opportunities for the PV industry and research community CETPartnership offers as a network and in the upcoming joint calls.

description: The purpose of this work is to evaluate the real impact of a solar PV installation in net-metering scheme on the household economics of a Spanish home located in Madrid, central Spain, with over 1,600 average equivalent sun-hours per year. To that purpose, a 1.5 kWp PV system has been monitored from its installation date in February, 2020. The impact of PV production on consumption, compared to the time before PV, has been assessed, both in terms of energy (kWh) and savings in the monthly electricity bill (€). The work has also taken into account the kWh retail price variations. Year-on-year energy (kWh) savings have reached an average of 48%. Economic (€) savings are in the range of 41%. These significant savings are, however, hindered by the fact that the Spanish netmetering regulation for PV power plants includes aspects that are detrimental for the PV plant owners. On one hand, solar kWh fed by the prosumers into the grid are paid by the utility at an average of 32% lower than the price the prosumer pays for the consumed retail kWh bought to the utility. On the other hand, there is a limit to the amount of solar kWh that can be paid. Every kWh over this limit is given for free. This amounts to 14% of the paid solar kWh.
Starburst galaxies in the COSMOS field: clumpy star-formation at redshift 0 < z < 0.5

description: At high redshift, starburst galaxies present irregular morphologies, with 10-20\%\ of their star formation occurring in giant clumps. These clumpy galaxies are considered to be the progenitors of local disk galaxies. To understand the properties of starbursts at intermediate and low redshift, it is fundamental to track their evolution and possible link with the systems at higher $z$. We present an extensive, systematic, and multi-band search and analysis of the starburst galaxies at redshift ($0 < z < 0.5$) in the COSMOS field, as well as detailed characteristics of their star-forming clumps by using Hubble Space Telescope/Advance Camera for Surveys (HST/ACS) images. Their principal properties, sizes, masses, and star formation rates are provided. The individual star-forming knots in our sample follow the same L(H$α$) vs. size scaling relation than local giant HII regions (Fuentes-Masip et al. 2000). However, they slightly differ from the one provided using samples at high redshift. This result highlights the importance of spatially resolving the star-forming regions for this kind of study. Star-forming clumps in the central regions of Mknots galaxies are more massive, and present higher star formation rates, than those in the outskirts. This trend is smeared when we consider either the mass surface density or surface star formation rate. Sknot galaxies do show properties similar to both dwarf elliptical and irregulars in the surface brightness ($μ$) versus M$_{host}$ diagram in the $B-$band (Amorín et al. 2012), and to spheroidals and ellipticals in the $μ$ versus M$_{host}$ diagram in the $V-$band (Kormendy \&\ Bender 2012). Sknot galaxies might be transitional phases of the BCD class, with their properties consistent with spheroidal like, but blue structures.

description: 8th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion; 1658-1661
description: This paper presents an economic feasibility study of different configurations of a PV-grid high-power PV irrigation system in Alto Aragón, Spain. The 1574 kWp PV generator is installed in a previously only-grid pumping station with five motorpumps and, in the new configurations, PV can feed 3 of these 5 motorpumps. Conf.1 is a standalone solution since 3 pumps are fed by PV and the energy that is not consumed is wasted, Conf.2 is a stand-alone plus grid-connected solution in which the motorpumps are fed by PV during the irrigation period and PV energy is sold to the grid outside this period, and Conf.3 considers that PV energy can be directly used or exported throughout the year according to the pumping station needs. The PV energy consumed by the system is 1241.7 kWh/kWp, while the total energy used achieves 2016.8 kWh/kWp for Conf.3. Economic results show Profitability Index values in the 2.0-2.4 €/€ range, Internal Rate of Return values in the 5.52-7.23 % range, and Payback Period values in the 12-15 years range. The Levelized Cost of Electricity are in the 4.82-6.40 c€/kWh range, which means that savings can achieve up to 53% when compared to the only-grid system.

description: Let $M$ be a compact manifold with or without boundary and $H\subset M$ be a smooth, interior hypersurface. We study the restriction of Laplace eigenfunctions solving $(-h^2Δ_g-1)u=0$ to $H$. In particular, we study the degeneration of $u|_H$ as one microlocally approaches the glancing set by finding the optimal power $s_0$ so that $(1+h^2Δ_H)_+^{s_0}u|_H$ remains uniformly bounded in $L^2(H)$ as $h\to 0$. Moreover, we show that this bound is saturated at every $h$-dependent scale near glancing using examples on the disk and sphere. We give an application of our estimates to quantum ergodic restriction theorems.

description: Fair trade (FT) schemes claim to improve food security by generating economic gains for certified households. Previous research has shown that FT-certified households may benefit from higher prices and incomes. However, little attention has been paid to the implications of FT for food security. In this paper, we use qualitative data, crosssectional household surveys conducted among coffee-growing households in Peru and matching econometric methods to investigate whether economic gains resulting from FT are enough to ensure food security for farming households. Results show that although FT increased the return from certified coffee (prices, production, yields and net return), the extent of the food insecurity facing FT participants remained unchanged. Our qualitative results suggest that farming households use the additional income they receive from FT to pay for their children’s higher education as a long-term non-farm investment. This leakage effect raises the question of the effect of FT in the medium and long term from a rural development perspective.

description: The purpose of this research is to assess the existing warehousing practices of Finfine Furniture Factory (3F). The researcher prefers to use a descriptive research type, which helps to use both qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Furthermore, from the point of view of time, the research is one-time research (cross-sectional) research. The target population is 70 employees and they were taken using purposive sampling methods. Questionnaires, interview, as well as observation were used to collect primary data. The researcher were validate the research by pilot testing of the questionnaires through distributing the questionnaires for some staff members of the company who involved in warehousing practices as well as check the validity of the interview questions via conducting a pre-interview to a few staff members the company. Then, the collected data were analyzed by using IBM SPSS statistics 22, such as percentages, frequencies, mean and standard deviation and the analyzed data were presented in tables and charts. The findings showed that, in its current form, the warehousing practices of the case company can be divided according to the five warehousing activity which is: Receiving, Put-way, Storage, Order picking, and Shipping. Moreover, results of the study revealed that even though respondents rating as a moderate or a little bit above the company overall warehousing practices, there are also so many various challenges in performing those warehousing activity: lack of adequate warehousing facility, lack of information technology infrastructures, lack of training, lack of manpower (labor) and warehousing personnel"s. Moreover, there are also key issues; cube utilization, aisles width, and excess inventory and how the case company strive to maximize their storage space and the utilization of airspaces. Despite the limitation, the study is believed to create awareness about the concept, principle and practices of warehouse management in the case company. Thus, the Government of Ethiopia, academicians and other concerned organizations which assist Ethiopia in its effort to reduce poverty and foster development should assist the sector by providing/sponsoring effective warehouse management training for business leaders and investors so that the firms will increase their competitiveness in global marketplace, contribute to the economic development of the country and environmental sustainability.

description: The AgroFossilFree project promotes fossil-energy-free technologies and strategies (FEFTS) in the agricultural sector by integrating various stakeholder initiatives and disseminating knowledge on FEFTS in agriculture. Applications boosting RES integration in important agricultural sectors, notably solar technology, are given considerable attention. The project's main goal is to create a platform where farmers, advisors, academics, business partners, and other stakeholders may discover pertinent information about FEFTS in agriculture. The AgroFossilFree initiative works to reduce the use of fossil fuels in all aspects of farming, which supports the EU Green Deal and Farm to Fork strategies. By encouraging the productive sharing of novel technologies, it helps to bridge the gap between the available FEFTS and common agricultural practices throughout the EU. By facilitating the effective flow of innovative information and ideas amongst stakeholders, it contributes to close the gap between the available FEFTS and common EU agricultural practices, thus European agriculture could become more environmentally, socioeconomically, and energetically sustainable. The European agricultural sector can support and abide by policies to reduce the use of fossil energy, the relevant legal and regulatory frameworks, and sustainable food production practices with the help of the knowledge that is gathered, classified, and presented to actors in the agricultural field. This article provides an update on the European Commission founded AgroFossilFree project.

description: In this paper, we attempt to improve Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems on a very diverse set of language pairs (in both directions): Czech - English, Vietnamese - English, French - English and German - English. To accomplish this, we performed translation model training, created adaptations of training settings for each language pair, and obtained comparable corpora for our SMT systems. Innovative tools and data adaptation techniques were employed. The TED parallel text corpora for the IWSLT 2015 evaluation campaign were used to train language models, and to develop, tune, and test the system. In addition, we prepared Wikipedia-based comparable corpora for use with our SMT system. This data was specified as permissible for the IWSLT 2015 evaluation. We explored the use of domain adaptation techniques, symmetrized word alignment models, the unsupervised transliteration models and the KenLM language modeling tool. To evaluate the effects of different preparations on translation results, we conducted experiments and used the BLEU, NIST and TER metrics. Our results indicate that our approach produced a positive impact on SMT quality.

description: This paper presents a comparative life-cycle assessment of photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation by various mono-crystalline silicon (mono-Si) PV technologies; in particular, three ground mounted PV systems using different high-efficiency technologies (cell and module) are explored: (1) bifacial HJT (Heterojunction Technology) modules; (2) PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) modules; and (3) IBC (Interdigitated Back Contact) modules. Furthermore, the LCA study – undertaken in accordance with the ISO 14040 and 14044 standards, and IEA-PVPS guidelines on the matter – concerned a hypothetical 85 MW power system in two possible plant configurations: i) ground mounted on a mono-axial tracker; ii) ground mounted on a fixed structure. The goal is to compare the different configurations and to identify, if any, the optimal solution. To assess the influence of the incident solar radiation value on the results obtained from the LCA analysis, two possible locations were considered, one in the north and the other in southern Italy. Results show that the greenhouse gas emissions of a PV system based on high-efficiency technologies, ranging from 10.5 to 18 g CO2eq/kWh, are significantly lower over the conventional Al-BSF technology. As regards plant configurations, the installation on a mono-axial solar tracker generates the least environmental impact for all the impact categories taken into consideration. As a matter of fact, the increase in energy production due to the mono-axial tracker generates environmental advantages that exceed those connected with the tracker production. The key finding of this study is that the improvements in the modules’ efficiency result in lower environmental impacts when compared to traditional silicon PV systems. The analysis relies on primary data for cells, modules, inverter and trackers production.

description: The multilingual nature of the world makes translation a crucial requirement today. Parallel dictionaries constructed by humans are a widely-available resource, but they are limited and do not provide enough coverage for good quality translation purposes, due to out-of-vocabulary words and neologisms. This motivates the use of statistical translation systems, which are unfortunately dependent on the quantity and quality of training data. Such systems have a very limited availability especially for some languages and very narrow text domains. In this research we present our improvements to current comparable corpora mining methodologies by re- implementation of the comparison algorithms (using Needleman-Wunch algorithm), introduction of a tuning script and computation time improvement by GPU acceleration. Experiments are carried out on bilingual data extracted from the Wikipedia, on various domains. For the Wikipedia itself, additional cross-lingual comparison heuristics were introduced. The modifications made a positive impact on the quality and quantity of mined data and on the translation quality.

description: In this work we present and discuss the learning pathways related to photovoltaic (PV) technology developed by the European project Raw Matters Ambassadors @Schools addressed to pupils aged 10-19. The project has received funding from the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) since 2016, with the aim of catching the interest of youngsters towards STEM subject and making careers in raw materials sector attractive for youngsters. The topics treated in the pathways cover the whole raw material value chain. Research topics are presented with a practical slant and connected with some of the most urgent problems felt by youngsters. In this work we focus on 3 different pathways which are of interest for the PV community: the rising price and subsequent need for replacement of Indium Tin Oxide, lifecycle-related issues answered by solar cell recycling, and evolving technologies, such as organic PV. The pathways include hands-on activities in the form of experiment: “ITO vs graphene”, showing alternative materials and the issues related to their implementation in industrial processes; “Silicon solar cells recycling”, where a solar cell is dismantled; “Solar cells from cranberry juice”, dealing with the principle of working and technology of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). It is apparent that the topics presented in these learning pathways are strictly connected with research and innovation in the field of materials. As these are not part of the background knowledge of pupils of secondary school, the issues in finding a connection with the traditional school curricula and the advantages of including communication actions in the teaching strategy are discussed.

description: The article reveals the difficulties of teaching Russian vocabulary for Chinese studentsâ, and provides recommendations that are aimed at overcoming them. Difficulties with phonetic pronunciation of words, memorization and reproduction of new vocabulary units are highlighted. In addition, the presence of a language barrier, which is typical for many Chinese students, is also clarified. To resolve existing contradictions, it is recommended to rely on the strengths of Chinese students, such as their hard work and efficiency, visual thinking, and respect for the teacher.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We investigate numerically the statistics of quantized vortices in two-dimensional quantum turbulence using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We find that a universal $-5/3$ scaling law in the turbulent energy spectrum is intimately connected with the vortex statistics, such as number fluctuations and vortex velocity, which is also characterized by a similar scaling behavior. The $-5/3$ scaling law appearing in the power spectrum of vortex number fluctuations is consistent with the scenario of passive advection of isolated vortices by a turbulent superfluid velocity generated by like-signed vortex clusters. The velocity probability distribution of clustered vortices is also sensitive to spatial configurations, and exhibits a power-law tail distribution with a $-5/3$ exponent.

description: Photovoltaics (PV) is one of the most important renewable energy. During the production of Si-based PV panels, large resource flows are generated, and many waste materials are generated. The challenge for recycling is connected to the material properties: The composition, purity and morphology will determine how the current waste should be processed in order to realize the potential value. We have therefore performed a waste inventory for three important material flows occurring from monocrystalline silicon ingot and wafer manufacturing in the PV production value chain: Si kerf from sawing of wafers, silica from crucibles used in CZ-Si ingot pulling and graphite from CZ crystal growth furnaces. A series of characterization and analysis methods, have been used to investigate the chemical composition, phases, size and morphology etc. of the three waste materials. Possible contamination sources were discussed. The waste inventory results give an overview of the materials quality and property, and their potential for recycling and re-use in the PV section and other application fields.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence between Adrian Stokes and Herbert Read spanning from 1934-1962. Stokes was a painter and art critic who also had an interest in psychoanalysis. It was largely due to his efforts and work that the small fishing port of St. Ives became a centre of modernist art culture. In this letter, Stokes discusses psychoanalysis.
Accurate principal component analysis via a few iterations of alternating least squares

description: A few iterations of alternating least squares with a random starting point provably suffice to produce nearly optimal spectral- and Frobenius-norm accuracies of low-rank approximations to a matrix; iterating to convergence is unnecessary. Thus, software implementing alternating least squares can be retrofitted via appropriate setting of parameters to calculate nearly optimally accurate low-rank approximations highly efficiently, with no need for convergence.

An Assessment on Determinants of Dry Port Performance: the Case of Modjo Dry Port
Creators: name: Mussema, Abdurezak
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Since the independency of Eritrea in 1991, Ethiopia became landlocked. As a result, the country has been compelled to use neighbor countries for its imports and exports. In order to ease some of the problems in the transit countries, Ethiopia has started constructing dry ports in its hinterland along the transit corridors. Among the planned dry ports, Modjo and Semera dry ports have become operational. To reap the maximum benefit from those dry ports, the efficient and effective performance of the dry ports is very crucial and to do that it is important to identify factors which influence the performance of dry ports. Therefore, this study tried to examine factors that influence the performance of dry ports from port users perceptions. This paper assess on determinants of dry port performance. Primary data was collected from 63 sample customers of the port which are selected based on convenience sampling technique. The data was collected using questionnaire and the data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The result of the analysis indicated that, cargo handling equipment, customs operations, port infrastructure, size of dry port, port staff, reliability of port operations and quality of logistics service are found to be important factors in determining the performance of Modjo dry port. Based on the findings of the study it were recommended that investment in container handling equipment and other port infrastructure, improvement in efficiency of customs operations, expansion of port area, employing adequate skilled port staff and improving the reliability and quality of logistics service of the ports are important. Key words: dry port, performance, determinants, customers

description: Due to biomechanical dynamics are related to the movement patterns and gait characteristics of human people and may provide important insights if mined by deep learning models, we conduct the study the spatial variability of biomechanical dynamics, aiming to evaluate and determine the optimal body location that is of great promise in robust physical activity type detection. Then we have developed a framework for deep learning pruning, aiming to determine the optimal pruning schemes while maintaining acceptable performance. Finally, we have enhanced and boosted the efficient deep learning framework, to co-optimize the accuracy and the continuity during the pruning process.
Distorsioni al bilancio di esercizio in periodi caratterizzati da inflazione

Publisher: name: ----
Year: 2022

description: Il significato e le funzioni del bilancio d'esercizio – documento che fornisce informazioni sui risultati economici e sulla situazione patrimoniale di un'impresa (società) – è ormai da tempo esplicitato nella dottrina contabile. Tale documento è redatto sulla base di un sistema contabile affidabile ed efficiente e ha la funzione tecnico-contabile di determinare il risultato d'esercizio e il capitale di funzionamento di fine esercizio seguendo un insieme di “principi contabili” di comune accettazione stabiliti dalla dottrina e dalla pratica contabile. Il bilancio, tuttavia, ha anche un'importante “funzione informativa”, in quanto rappresenta l'unico documento che consente ai “terzi” di acquisire informazioni attraverso le tecniche di “Analisi di bilancio” per valutare l'andamento economico e finanziario dell'impresa nonché le prospettive di continuità dell’impresa. L’inflazione, quando accentuata e persistente, produce sui valori economici e patrimoniali, compresi i valori monetari, distorsioni che possono alterare l’apprezzamento della gestione da parte dei soci e dei terzi interessati. Questo studio si propone proprio di presentare, in forma teorica, le potenziali distorsioni prodotte dall’inflazione su alcuni valori del bilancio di esercizio e le rettifiche necessarie per ripristinare la significatività di questo documento come strumento per “rappresentare in modo veritiero e corretto la situazione patrimoniale e finanziaria della società e il risultato economico dell'esercizio.”, ai sensi dell’Art. 2423, Cod. Civ.

description: CO2 emissions of two different module designs (conventional glass-backsheet or novel frameless glassglass modules) produced at three different locations (China, Germany or the European Union, EU) are determined and compared in a life cycle assessment (LCA), using current inventory data and differentiated electricity yields of the modules. The results show that lower environmental impacts are obtained for glass-glass compared to glass-backsheet modules and for a production in the EU and Germany compared to China. Glass-backsheet (glass-glass) modules produced in China, Germany or the EU are linked to 810 (750), 580 (520) and 480 (420) kg CO2-eq/kWp, respectively. This corresponds to CO2 emission reductions of 30% for Germany and 40% for the EU compared to Chinese production, and 8% to 12.5% reduction in glass-glass compared to glass-backsheet modules. The CO2 emissions of the produced electricity, excluding balance of system (BoS), amount to 13-30 g CO2-eq/kWh, depending on the production location and electricity yield of the modules which is based on warranty yield calculations with longer lifetimes for glass-glass than glass-backsheet modules. It is shown that module efficiency, energy requirements, silicon consumption and electricity mix used at the production location are significant levers for future reductions of environmental impacts. Furthermore, it is emphasized that up-to-date inventories and differentiated electricity yield calculations as well as current modelling of electricity mixes are important to incentivize the development of sustainable module designs.

description: In questo Modulo 2, viene costruito, dapprima, il Modello generale di Sistema di Controllo in forma logica (simbolica). n… a physical symbol system is any system in which suitably manipulable tokens can be assigned arbitrary meanings and, by means of careful programming, can be relied on to behave in ways consistent (to some specified degree) with this projected semantic content (Clark 1989, pp. 4-5). Il modello generale viene riferito ai sistemi mono leva e mono obiettivo. Per la costruzione del modello generale ritengo utile introdurre alcuni semplici esempi che metteranno in luce tutti gli aspetti essenziali dei sistemi di controllo. Successivamente presenterò un modello completo, illustrandone le componenti.
