description: The F.A.S.T. (Floor field and Agent based Simulation Tool) model is a microscopic model of pedestrian dynamics, which is discrete in space and time. It was developed in a number of more or less consecutive steps from a simple CA model. This contribution is a summary of a study on an extension of the F.A.S.T-model for counterflow situations. The extensions will be explained and it will be shown that the extended F.A.S.T.-model is capable of handling various counterflow situations and to reproduce the well known lane formation effect.

description: Renewable energies deployment in Spain during the last decade has been so significant that in the year
2011 a third of the electricity consumption was produced by them. This article attempts to summarize the evolution of
installed capacity of photovoltaic and wind energy and to analyze the effects that continuous changing subsidy
schemes had on their development. In addition, the magnitudes of economic benefits provided by them have been
estimated and compared with feed-in tariff total cost. Most significant economic advantages inherent to renewable
energies are savings due to avoided greenhouse gas emissions whose rights don’t need to be bought, savings due to
prevented fossil fuel imports and, the less mentioned and valued, electricity price decrease caused by the ‘meritorder’
effect.

description: UTe$_2$ is a recently discovered promising candidate for a spin-triplet superconductor. In contrast to conventional spin-singlet superconductivity, spin-triplet superconductivity possesses spin and angular momentum degrees of freedom. To detect these degrees of freedom and obtain the solid evidence of spin-triplet superconductivity in UTe$_2$, we performed $^{125}$Te-NMR measurement. We previously reported that the shoulder signal appears in NMR spectra below the superconducting (SC) transition temperature $T_{\rm c}$ in $H \parallel b$, and that a slight decrease in the Knight shift along the $b$ and $c$ axes ($K_b$ and $K_c$, respectively) below $T_{\rm c}$ at a low magnetic field $H$. To clarify the origin of the shoulder signal and the trace of the decrease in $K_b$, we compared the $^{125}$Te-NMR spectra obtained when $H~\parallel~b$ and $H~\parallel~c$ and measured the $^{125}$Te-NMR spectra for $H~\parallel~b$ up to 14.5~T. The intensity of the shoulder signal observed for $H~\parallel~b$ has a maximum at $\sim 6$~T and vanishes above 10~T, although the superconductivity is confirmed by the $χ_{\rm AC}$ measurements, which can survive up to 14.5~T (maximum $H$ in the present measurement). Moreover, the decrease in $K_b$ in the SC state starts to be small around 7~T and almost zero at 12.5~T. This indicates that the SC spin state gradually changes with the application of $H$. Meanwhile, in $H~\parallel~c$, unexpected broadening without the shoulder signals was observed below $T_{\rm c}$ at 1~T, and this broadening was quickly suppressed with increasing $H$. We construct the $H$--$T$ phase diagram for $H~\parallel~b$ and $H~\parallel~c$ based on the NMR measurements and discuss possible SC states with the theoretical consideration. We suggest that the inhomogeneous SC state characterized by the broadening of the NMR spectrum originates from the spin degrees of freedom.

description: An analysis method was presented to measure the contact resistivity of rear-side local openings to
reveal the interaction of laser-ablation/metallization. Different laser-ablating conditions were compared with different
pastes, firing conditions, and film stacks. No unique laser recipe can be utilized for whole metallization conditions
from the contact resistivity point of view. Using an appropriate laser ablation recipe of nanosecond laser combined
with a proper metallization condition, the contact resistivity of ~58.59 mΩ-cm2 for line- pattern could be comparable
to the value of 40-55 mΩ-cm2 achieved by the picosecond laser.

description: We consider online wireless network virtualization (WNV) in a multi-cell multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) system with delayed feedback of channel state information (CSI). Multiple service providers (SPs) simultaneously share the base station resources of an infrastructure provider (InP). We aim at minimizing the accumulated precoding deviation of the InP's actual precoder from the SPs' virtualization demands via managing both inter-SP and inter-cell interference, subject to both long-term and short-term per-cell transmit power constraints. We develop an online coordinated precoding solution and show that it provides provable performance bounds. Our precoding solution is fully distributed at each cell, based only on delayed local CSI. Furthermore, it has a closed-form expression with low computational complexity. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the substantial performance gain of our precoding solution over the current best alternative.

Constraint from D - anti-D Mixing in Left-Right Symmetric Models

description: We study the constraint arising from the recently observed D - anti-D mixing in the context of supersymmetric models with left-right symmetry. In these models, the supersymmetric contributions in the mixing amplitudes of D - anti-D, K - anti-K and B - anti-B are all correlated. We compare the constraint from the D - anti-D mixing with the K - anti-K mixing and find that the D - anti-D mixing constrains the maximal supersymmetric contribution to the B_s - anti-B_s mixing amplitude. The maximal supersymmetric contribution can allow a large CP phase of B_s - anti-B_s mixing which agrees with the recent measurement of the CP asymmetry of B_s -> J/psi phi decay.

description: The interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cell which is commercialized by Sunpower is known for its
outstanding conversion efficiency in silicon-based solar cells. It is now manufactured in AUO SunPower Malaysia in
mass production. To further reduce the cost of the cell, it is necessary to keep improving the cell performance to a
higher level. The purpose of the work is to improve the cell efficiency by modifying the geometry design of IBC cell
with the assistance of the computational simulation. In this study, the impact of the cell geometry design such as the
emitter, BSF, undoped gap, contact area and the diffusion pitch will be evaluated through the PC2D simulation [Basore
PA, Cabanas-Holmen K IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics 2011;1(1): 72–77]. From the two-dimensional simulation
analysis, it is recommended in order to gain higher cell efficiency, larger emitter area, with smaller BSF and adequate
undoped gap are preferred for the current IBC cell design. Smaller diffusion pitch and contact area also helps the
improvement of fill factor and the efficiency. The simulation results are verified by the experimental splits. From the
experimental results, the efficiency of 5” n-type IBC cell is improved from 22.2% to 22.4%. It is consistent with our
simulation.

description: RESUMEN: Tomando en consideración la importancia de la métrica y de la polimetría en la comedia, este artículo propone unas reflexiones sobre los sonetos en dos piezas de Lope de Vega, El galán escarmentado y Los Comendadores de Córdoba. Más específicamente, el trabajo se centra inicialmente en los sonetos recitados por los graciosos en respuesta a los que declaman sus respectivos galanes (“sonetos en díptico” y “sonetos en tríptico”). Especial atención es prestada a los usos de los sonetos graciosiles en relación con la estructura y los temas de las comedias; además, se propondrá un análisis ‘vertical’ de estos grupos de sonetos (esto es, considerando los que en la pieza recita un mismo personaje) para tratar de entender mejor su importancia en el entramado de la comedia.

ABSTRACT: Starting from the consideration of the importance of metric and polymetry in the comedia, this article proposes a reflection on sonnets in two Lope de Vega’s plays: El galán escarmentado and Los Comendadores de Córdoba, which contain eight sonnets each. In particular, I will mainly focus on five sonnets recited by the graciosos after the ones pronounced by the galanes (“sonetos en díptico” and “sonetos en tríptico”). Special attention will be paid to the uses of the sonetos graciosos in relation to the structure and the themes of the play; furthermore, I offer a reflection on the possibility of undertaking the study of a ‘vertical’ analysis of these groups of sonnets in the texts (considering the sonnets recited by the same character), in order to better understand their importance in the comedia.

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4154-4157
description: The quality and performance of the components of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant has an effect on its
energy yield. Therefore, it is sensible to select the best performing components in order to get maximized energy
yield. But for example the performance of PV modules is often only known at standard test conditions (STC) which
are most of the time artificially created in laboratories using only a few modules of a specific type. Therefore
measurement data of over 24,000 PV plants deployed at sites located in Central Europe has been monitored. This data
is analyzed by different algorithms in order to provide sufficient data quality. Then the data are transformed and
normalized to STC in order to compare the empiric results of PV modules’ performance. This transformation includes
a module temperature normalization using temperature data and also a normalization of the inverter efficiency using
plant configuration data. Thereby influences on a module’s performance other than irradiance can filtered out. With
this approach a quasi performance ratio can be calculated which allows comparing PV modules and module types
under real-life conditions. For example a detailed analysis of a module’s performance under certain insolation levels
can be carried out.

description: The asymmetric tetrahedron is composed by all edges of tetrahedron represented by Ising interaction except one, which has a Heisenberg type interaction. This asymmetric tetrahedron is arranged connecting a vertex which edges are only Ising type interaction to another vertex with same structure of another tetrahedron. The process is replicated and this kind of lattice we call the asymmetric Ising-Heisenberg chain. We have studied the ground state phase diagram for this kind of models. Particularly we consider two situations in the Heisenberg-type interaction, (i) The asymmetric tetrahedral spin(1/2,1/2) Ising-XYZ chain, and (ii) the asymmetric tetrahedral spin-(1/2,1) Ising-XXZ chain, where we have found a rich phase diagram and a number of multicritical points. Additionally we have also studied their thermodynamics properties and the correlation function, using the decorated transformation. We have mapped the asymmetric tetrahedral Ising-Heisenberg chain in an effective Ising chain, and we have also concluded that it is possible to evaluate the partition function including a longitudinal external magnetic field.

description: Chaos terrains are characterized by disruption of preexisting surfaces into irregularly arranged mountain blocks with a chaotic appearance. Several models for chaos formation have been proposed, but the formation and evolution of this enigmatic terrain type has not yet been fully constrained. We provide extensive mapping of the individual blocks that make up different chaos landscapes, and present a morphological comparison of chaotic terrains found on Pluto, Jupiter's moon Europa, and Mars, using measurements of diameter, height, and axial ratio of chaotic mountain blocks. Additionally, we compare mountain blocks in chaotic terrain and fretted terrain on Mars. We find a positive linear relationship between the size and height of chaos blocks on Pluto and Mars, whereas blocks on Europa exhibit a flat trend as block height does not generally increase with increasing block size. Block heights on Pluto are used to estimate the block root depths if they were floating icebergs. Block heights on Europa are used to infer the total thickness of the icy layer from which the blocks formed. Finally, block heights on Mars are compared to potential layer thicknesses of near-surface material. We propose that the heights of chaotic mountain blocks on Pluto, Europa, and Mars can be used to infer information about crustal lithology and surface layer thickness.

We show that the change of the interaction correction to the conductivity with the decreasing Drude conductivity results both from the compensation of the singlet and triplet channels and from the arising prefactor $α_i<1$ in the conventional expression for the interaction correction.

description: Background: Apathy and impulsivity are common consequences of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and can worsen its prognosis. They can co-exist in the same patients although their concomitant prevalence remains unclear. Their relationship to emotional lability is also unknown. Objectives: To estimate the co-occurrence of apathy and impulsivity and their relationship to emotional lability in PSP. To characterize the demographic, clinical, and cognitive features of PSP patients with apathy and impulsivity. Methods: In a retrospective study of a long-term clinical cohort, we assessed the prevalence of apathy, impulsivity, and emotional lability from clinical interviews, medical records, and contemporary carer questionnaires. 154 patients with a diagnosis of probable or possible PSP (according to the 2017 Movement Disorder Society criteria) were identified. 64 of these patients had neuropathological confirmation of PSP. PSP patients with both apathy and impulsivity were compared in terms of demographic, clinical, and cognitive characteristics to PSP patients with either one or neither of these neuropsychiatric features. Results: Apathy and impulsivity co-existed in two-thirds of people with PSP. A fifth displayed emotional lability in addition to apathy and impulsivity. Apathy and impulsivity were more commonly co-expressed than by chance. There was no single demographic, clinical or cognitive feature that distinguished between PSP patients with versus without apathy and impulsivity. Conclusions: The co-existence of apathy and impulsivity in PSP suggests that these neuropsychiatric features may share similar risk factors and etio-pathogenetic mechanisms. Apathy and impulsivity should be jointly assessed when planning symptomatic treatments for detrimental behavioural problems caused by PSP.

description: We have proposed an integration method of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film solar
cells without using a conventional laser patterning method and realized a series connection of four unit a-Si:H-based
solar cells. The method consists of using a glass substrate with many parallel straight-line trenches in it, metal oblique
depositions (ODs), and dry etching of a-Si:H-based layers. The detailed fabrication process is composed of making
parallel straight-line trenches in the glass substrate; depositing ZnO:Al film on it; wet etching of the ZnO:Al film;
depositing a-Si:H-based layers; aluminum (Al) ODs; dry etching of the a-Si:H-based layers using the Al layer as a
mask; and Al OD to overlap the Al back electrode with the front ZnO:Al electrode in the trenches, connecting unit
cells electrically in series. The open circuit voltage (Voc) of the integrated cell was the sum of each Voc of the four
unit cells and the current flowing through the integrated solar cell was determined by the unit cell with a minimum
current value. The low fill factor of the integrated cell resulted from the high contact resistance between the two
electrodes. The width of dead area from this integration method was only about 22 μm, which is much narrower than
that in a typical a-Si:H-based solar cell fabricated by the conventional laser patterning method. This integration
method has the advantage of being a simple and effective self-alignment process without laser scribing.

description: In this paper, 3D-FEM-simulations were carried out to analyze the mechanical integrity of interconnect
structures of back contact modules. The results of this investigation figure out, that there are critical plastic
deformations in the back contact solder joint and in the copper traces of the flexible pcb back sheet. Although the
amount of plastic strain is relatively moderate in one cycle, the accumulation of these cyclic induced strains and their
concentration on preferred locations within the interconnection structure of the PV-module are considered to
contribute significantly to specific damage mechanisms. Therefore the calculated deformations in certain parts of the
interconnect structure of the back contact module are supposed to limit the module lifetime.

Silicon Solar Cell Improvements

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2075-2078
description: The high potential interest of n-type silicon for the photovoltaic industry stimulates research on
structures and technologies adapted from p-type silicon solar cells fabrication. Front-side collecting solar cells with a
boron emitter appear as the simplest structure to fabricate. Selective emitters, which rely on high dopant concentration
localised under the electrical contacts, are an effective way to improve the efficiency of silicon solar cells.
Laser-assisted diffusion of phosphorus on p-type solar cells is commonly used to produce such a structure. Laserassisted
diffusion of boron has not been so extensively studied. This paper discusses laser-induced selective diffusion
of boron from two types of borosilicate glass (BSG) produced either by low-pressure diffusion using a BCl3 gas
source or deposited by PECVD from a trimethylborate (TMB) liquid source. The aim of this work was to achieve
doping levels compatible with a selective emitters structure on n-type solar cells. Laser parameters were optimised for
efficient heat-assisted diffusion of boron atoms with reduced damage to the silicon substrate. Sheet resistance
variation of about 60 ohm/sq was measured.

description: Massive stars form in dense and massive molecular cores. The exact formation mechanism is unclear, but it is possible that some massive stars are formed by processes similar to those that produce the low-mass stars, with accretion/ejection phenomena occurring at some point of the evolution of the protostar. This picture seems to be supported by the detection of a collimated stellar wind emanating from the massive protostar IRAS 16547-4247. A triple radio source is associated with the protostar: a compact core and two radio lobes. The emission of the southern lobe is clearly non-thermal. Such emission is interpreted as synchrotron radiation produced by relativistic electrons locally accelerated at the termination point of a thermal jet. Since the ambient medium is determined by the properties of the molecular cloud in which the whole system is embedded, we can expect high densities of particles and infrared photons. Because of the confirmed presence of relativistic electrons, inverse Compton and relativistic Bremsstrahlung interactions are unavoidable. Proton-proton collision should also occur, producing an injection of neutral pions. In this paper we aim at making quantitative predictions of the spectral energy distribution of the non-thermal spots generated by massive young stellar objects, with emphasis on the particular case of IRAS 16547-4247. We present spectral energy distributions for the southern lobe of this source, for a variety of conditions. We show that high-energy emission might be detectable from this object in the gamma-ray domain (MeV to TeV). The source may also be detectable at X-rays through long exposures with current X-ray instruments.

The Soviet-Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956

description: The article aims to study the process of formation and evolution of the territorial problem in the relations between the Soviet Union and Japan after the end of WWII up to the conclusion of the Soviet-Japanese Joint Declaration of 1956. Under consideration are the agreements of the Allied Powers over the postwar territorial limits of Japan. The author insists that the position of the U.S. towards the territorial provisions of the 1945 Yalta Agreements was repeatedly altered before and after signing the San Francisco Peace Treaty. Changes took place, on the one hand, because of the deterioration in the U.S. relations with the USSR, and, on the other hand, in correlation with Washington’s aim to “protect” itself from Tokyo’s demands to return Okinawa. It is noteworthy that Japan’s attitude to the problem of South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands was from the very beginning not immutable either and has undergone multiple corrections. The paper gives a detailed examination of the process of the Soviet-Japanese negotiations on the normalization of bilateral relations in 1955-1956, providing an analysis of the reasons for the Soviet leadership’s readiness to hand over the Habomai islands and Shikotan to Japan. The author assesses the significance of the conclusion and the ratification of the Joint Declaration of 1956 for both the Soviet Union and Japan, as well as the attitude of both the Soviet/Russian leadership and the Japanese government to the possibility of the implementation of its territorial article. After Prime Minister Abe had stated in November 2018 that the Japanese side is ready to hold negotiations on the basis of the territorial article of the 1956 Joint Declaration, Russo-Japanese negotiations on the conclusion of the Peace Treaty were launched. However, compared to the Japanese side, for which the pivotal aim is to fix an agreement on the ownership of the islands and the borderline, much more important in the Russian motivation is to acquire Japan’s recognition of the legality of the Russian possession of the Kuril Islands, to obtain guarantees that the Japan-U.S. security alliance would not be aimed against Russia’s interests, as well as to lay a base for a broader development of bilateral relations with Japan. Against the background of the unwillingness of the public opinion of the two countries to accept the 1956 Declaration as a base for resolving the territorial problem, the possibility to achieve a Peace Treaty in the forseeable future is seen as unrealistic.

description: The capture of servicemen of the Kwantung army by the Soviet troops in Manchuria in August 1945, their further detention in labor camps in the USSR, as well as their repatriation to Japan, which dragged on for nearly ten years, are among the most difficult and sensitive issues in relations between the USSR and Japan. They were not written about or discussed in the Soviet Union for many years until the early 1990s, when access to previously classified documents was opened. It was at that time that the issue became a matter for scholarly research by historians of the two countries and then put on the agenda of political negotiations at the head-of-state level. This first happened during the official visit to Japan of the first Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev, in April 1991, and then this mission was taken over by the Government of the Russian Federation. However, there are still questions that absorb the attention of researchers and the public and that still need to be fully answered.

description: The article analyzes how the “comfort women” issue influences current relations between the Republic of Korea and Japan. In the early 20th century, Japan annexed Korea, and the memories of colonial-era humiliation are vivid in Korean collective consciousness. As a result, issues of the past often sour bilateral relations even today. Recently, Seoul has been actively pressing the issue of sexual slavery in Japanese military brothels, and differences over this seemingly irrelevant issue have impeded political and military cooperation. Articles on former sexual slaves (also called wianbu in Korean) have resurfaced time and again in Korean press throughout the 1940-80s, but the problem internationalized only in the 1990s, when a broad public discussion started. Although Japan maintains that the 1965 bilateral normalization resolved all issues of the past, Tokyo has several times offered official condolences and compensations to the victims, however Seoul found these steps or the tone thereof unsatisfactory. Most recently, in 2015, Abe Shinzō and Park Geunhye signed an agreement to close the wianbu issue, but the document irritated South Korean public and opposition, so Seoul abandoned it. President Moon Jaein, who came to power in 2017, continued this course and added pressure on related historical problems, such as Korean forced laborers in imperial Japan. As the crisis deepened, Tokyo introduced economic sanctions against South Korea (technically on unrelated grounds). Conflicts stemming from collective memory are a characteristic feature of North East Asian political culture. They are a popular tool in foreign and domestic policy of many countries. This, coupled with the irrational nature of nationalism and imperfection of regional security, makes issues of the past a very real threat to the present.

description: We calculate the resonance fluorescence signal of a two-level system coupled to a quantized phonon mode. By treating the phonons in the independent boson model and not performing any approximations in their description, we also have access to the state evolution of the phonons. We confirm the validity of our model by simulating the limit of an initial quasi-classical coherent phonon state, which can be compared to experimentally confirmed results in the semiclassical limit. In addition we predict photon scattering spectra in the limit of purely quantum mechanical phonon states by approaching the phononic vacuum. Our method further allows us to simulate the impact of the light scattering process on the phonon state by calculating Wigner functions. We show that the phonon mode is brought into characteristic quantum states by the optical excitation process.

Large PV Power Plants and Distributed PV: System Aspects and Grid Connection

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 4092-4095
description: The future developments in the automotive industry with electric drives with power from rechargeable batteries
require a network of charging stations and loading facilities. In the last few years 1562 (as of 2012-01) charging
stations have been built up in Germany. This Figure will considerably increase in the near future. Photovoltaic
systems (PV) are a considerable energy source for electricity in Germany, especially in Bavaria. That is why E.ON
Bayern, the largest local grid operator in Bavaria, has started studies together with Munich University of Applied
Sciences to feed these charging stations with electricity coming from PV systems nearby.
Sentient beings and persons : a novel theory of personal survival
Creators: name: Henry, Wayne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is concerned with the philosophical problems of personal identity and personal survival. In the first case, we are concerned to establish what our identity as persons consists in at any instant. In the second case we are concerned to establish what our survival as the self-same (i.e.:numerically identical) person consists in. That is, we wish to know what it means to say that one is the same person now which one was ten years ago or will be ten years from now. I first introduce the distinction between the epistemological question of how we can know these things and the metaphysical question of what these notions actually consist in and claim that much confusion has resulted from the conflation of these two. Further, I explicitly claim that this thesis is intended as a solution to the latter only. I then move on to an historical survey of the major theories of personal identity that have been held since the time of Descartes. After demonstrating how these theories are inadequate, I introduce and explicate the theory defended here which, it is claimed, is a novel one. This novelty consists in the following two distinctions: Firstly, that between persons and sentient beings and, secondly, that between qualitative and non-qualitative psychological relations. It is claimed that sentient beings incorporate the latter in a way which makes them immune to the sorts of contextual problems that typically affect theories of personal identity. Having already established that we are all sentient beings as well as persons, I then claim that the former concept is the fundamental notion of any theory of personal identity and survival. I subsequently consider reductionism, which currently prevails in the field, and conclude that such a position inevitably leads to many counterintuitive results. I then compare reductionism with the theory defended here and conclude that the latter is preferable, since it allows us to explain personal identity without abandoning our intuitions regarding what is involved in these matters.
An empirical model for solvation based on surface site interaction points.

Publisher: name: Apollo - University of Cambridge Repository

description: Surface site interaction points (SSIP) provide a quantitative description of the non-covalent interactions a molecule makes with the environment based on specific intermolecular contacts, such as H-bonds. Summation of the free energy of interaction of each SSIP across the surface of a molecule allows calculation of solvation energies and partition coefficients. A rule-based approach to the assignment of SSIPs based on chemical structure has been developed, and a combination of experimental data on the formation of 1 : 1 H-bonded complexes in non-polar solvents and partition of solutes between different solvents was used to parameterise the method. The resulting model is simple to implement using just a spreadsheet and accurately describes the transfer of a wide range of different solutes from water to a wide range of different organic solvents (overall rmsd is 1.4 kJ mol-1 for 1713 data points). The hydrophobic effect as well as the properties of perfluorocarbon solvents are described well by the model, and new descriptors have been determined for range of organic solvents that were not accessible by direct investigation of H-bond formation in non-polar solvents.

description: A main issue in cosmology and astrophysics is whether the dark sector phenomenology originates from particle physics, then requiring the detection of new fundamental components, or it can be addressed by modifying General Relativity. Extended Theories of Gravity are possible candidates aimed in framing dark energy and dark matter in a comprehensive geometric view. Considering the concept of perfect scalars, we show that the field equations of such theories naturally contain perfect fluid terms. Specific examples are developed for the Friedman-Lemaître-Roberson-Walker metric.

Conceptualizations of Natural Habitat’s Influence on the Formation of the People’s Character in Japan: Jinkokuki and Shin Jinkokuki Texts’ and Studies’ Analysis

description: The article is mainly based upon the analysis of two Japanese texts, Jinkokuki 人国記 (Records of the People and the Provinces, 16th century) and its later revised version Shin Jinkokuki 新人国記 (New Records of the People and the Provinces), created by the Confucian scholar and cartographer Seki Sokō 関祖衡 in 1701. Shin Jinkokuki is often considered to be one of the first Japanese atlases, as Seki not only revised and enlarged the original text, but also added maps to the descriptions of all of the Japanese provinces. Both texts are valued by Japanese scholars as fruitful sources for studies in the history of environmental psychology, or geopsychology, and a careful study of their content provides some new information on the ideas and concepts of natural habitats’ influence on the formation of behavioral models and personal qualities typical of the inhabitants of certain areas within Japan in the 16th – 18th centuries. In the first half of the 20th century, some Japanese authors, many of them playing leading roles in the introduction of Western science into Japan, were obsessed with the idea of formulating a typically Japanese way of thinking and behaving that would not only differentiate the Japanese from others, but also make the nation consider itself better than others. The search for roots of yamato-damashii and Japanese uniqueness in terms of relations between the Japanese people and the country’s nature, just as an attempt to make some certain values of the samurai class nationwide, revitalized interest in Jinkokuki and Shin Jinkokuki, which were used as an instrument of state propaganda. The second part of this article analyses works by Watanabe Tooru 渡辺徹, a psychologist who issued the first scholarly publication of these texts and whose academic career seems to be one long road to the “Records of the People and the Provinces”.
Testing the nature of the $Λ$(1520) in the $J/ψ\to\barΛK^-p$ and $J/ψ\to\barΛπ^+π^-Λ$ reactions

description: We study the reactions $J/ψ\to\barΛK^-p$ and $J/ψ\to\barΛπ^+π^-Λ$ with a unitary chiral approach. We predict the ratio of the invariant mass distributions of these two reactions at the $Λ(1520)$ peak position, which is free of the unknown production mechanism and reflects only the properties of the $Λ(1520)$. An experimental measurement of this ratio will provide the couplings of the $Λ(1520)$ to its decay channels, allowing to test the predictions of the chiral unitary approach on this resonance, which appears as dynamically generated in that approach.

The map is a partial copy of the world map by Nagakubo Sekisui 長久保積水 (1717-1801), but has many features typical of the Buddhist world view. We consider in detail the representation of India, China, Europe, and mythical countries. Special mention is made of the representation of ships in the map.

Terrestrial Concentrator Systems

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 181-184
description: Small size silicon concentrator solar cells have been developed showing good performance in low and
medium concentration range. In this work we describe the fabrication technology, characterization and modeling of
these cells. The cell conversion efficiency, Internal Quantum Efficiency (IQE), Open Circuit Voltage (VOC) and Short
Circuit Current Density (JSC) were evaluated in the 1-200 Suns concentration range. The conversion efficiency is of
20.8% at 60 Suns and higher than 18.6% up to 200 Suns. The dependence of JSC on the concentration factor has been
observed to be super-linear, with an 8% excess JSC at 200 Suns. Numerical simulations, calibrated and optimized to
take into account the carrier recombination and mobility in high injection condition, match the experimental
measurements and correctly predict the JSC super-linearity. This effect has been further investigated and explained by
the enhancement of electric field in the base region, allowing an improvement of the minority carriers collection
efficiency. Finally, numerical simulations, validated by the experimental measurements, were applied to optimize the
cell design in terms of front metal finger pitch for different concentration levels.

description: We describe an experimental setup designed to produce ultracold trapped gas clouds of fermionic 6Li and bosonic 87Rb. This combination of alkali metals has the potential to reach deeper Fermi degeneracy with respect to other mixtures since it allows for improved heat capacity matching which optimizes sympathetic cooling efficiency. Atomic beams of the two species are independently produced and then decelerated by Zeeman slowers. The slowed atoms are collected into a magneto-optical trap and then transferred into a quadrupole magnetic trap. An ultracold Fermi gas with temperature in the 10^-3 T_F range should be attainable through selective confinement of the two species via a properly detuned laser beam focused in the center of the magnetic trap.
