description: DWP16001, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, has shown promise for improving blood glucose control and facilitating weight loss. Co-administration with phentermine could enhance these effects. So, we aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) interactions of DWP16001 and phentermine. We conducted a randomized, open-label, 3-treatment, 6-sequence, 3-period crossover study involving 24 healthy adults. Participants received either DWP16001 (2 mg), phentermine (37.5 mg), or a combination of both once daily for 7 days. Blood samples, urine samples, and body weights were collected to evaluate the PK and PD. The PK of the combination was found to be similar to that of the monotherapy. The geometric mean ratio (GMR) of Cmax,ss, and AUCtau,ss were 0.98 and 1.00, respectively, for DWP16001, and 1.01 and 0.94, respectively, for phentermine. Co-administration did not significantly affect the 24-hour urinary glucose excretion compared to DWP16001 monotherapy, and the GMR was 0.90. Participants tended to experience greater weight loss in the combination therapy group, and all demonstrated good tolerance. Our findings indicate that there were no significant interactions during co-administration. These results suggest that the combination of DWP16001 and phentermine may be safe and effective for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. NCT05321732

description: This paper reports on the formation of localised p+ surface regions by laser-doping through anodic
aluminium oxide (AAO) layers. The AAO layers can be doped with boron by anodising in boric acid and during laser
doping the underlying silicon can become doped with both aluminium and boron. This co-doping process can create
very heavily-doped local regions with electrically-active p-type dopant concentrations exceeding 1020 cm-3 for ~4 μm
from the surface. Unlike laser-doping through spin-coated polyboron sources, laser doping through AAO layers can
be performed without introducing any voids in the silicon. This local doping method was used to fabricate cells with
efficiencies of up to 19.9% from wafers for which the effective minority carrier lifetime was 20 μs after SiNx
deposition.

description: Dynamics of coupled chaotic oscillators on a network are studied using coupled maps. Within a broad range of parameter values representing the coupling strength or the degree of elements, the system repeats formation and split of coherent clusters. The distribution of the cluster size follows a power law with the exponent $α$, which changes with the parameter values. The number of positive Lyapunov exponents and their spectra are scaled anomalously with the power of the system size with the exponent $β$, which also changes with the parameters. The scaling relation $α\sim 2(β+1)$ is uncovered, which seems to be universal independent of parameters and networks.

description: Tacrolimus is a potent immunosuppressive drug with many side effects including nephrotoxicity and post-transplant diabetes mellitus. To limit its toxicity, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is performed. However, tacrolimus’ pharmacokinetics are highly variable within and between individuals, which complicates their clinical management. Despite TDM, many kidney transplant recipients will experience under- or overexposure to tacrolimus. Therefore, dosing algorithms have been developed to limit the time a patient is exposed to off-target concentrations. Tacrolimus starting dose algorithms and models for follow-up doses developed and/or tested since 2015, encompassing both adult and pediatric populations. Literature was searched in different databases, i.e. Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Register, and Google Scholar, from inception to February 2023 Many algorithms have been developed, but few have been prospectively evaluated. These performed better than bodyweight-based starting doses, regarding the time a patient is exposed to off-target tacrolimus concentrations. No benefit in reduced tacrolimus toxicity has yet been observed. Most algorithms were developed from small datasets, contained only a few tacrolimus concentrations per person, and were not externally validated. Moreover, other matrices should be considered which might better correlate with tacrolimus toxicity than the whole-blood concentration, e.g. unbound plasma or intra-lymphocytic tacrolimus concentrations.

description: In this work interdigitated back contact (IBC) silicon solar cells featuring tunnel oxide passivated
contacts (TOPCon) formed by ion implantation into amorphous silicon (a-Si) layers are proposed. Ion implantation is
applied to locally overcompensate an in-situ boron-doped TOPCon layer with phosphorus which opens a promising
route to a simplified fabrication process for IBC solar cells featuring passivated contacts. The impact of ion
implantation doses and annealing conditions on the passivation quality of the phosphorus-doped TOPCon layers was
studied. It was found that excellent surface passivation with implied open-circuit voltages (iVoc) of 710 mV can be
achieved for phosphorus implantations overcompensating the in-situ boron-doped TOPCon layers which exhibit iVoc
values of 680 mV. The TOPCon layers were implemented into small area IBC silicon solar cells leading to opencircuit
voltages (Voc) of 681 mV and pseudo fill factors (pFF) of 82.2% showing the potential of this concept.
However, further investigations are required to reduce the contact resistance which at the current status of the
development limits the extraction of charge carriers and thus the conversion efficiency.

description: Sub-femtogram resolution of an in-liquid cavity optomechanical mass sensor based on the twin-microbottle glass resonator is demonstrated. An evaluation of the frequency stability using an optomechanical phase-locked loop reveals that this cavity optomechanical sensor has the highest mass resolution of $(7.0\times2.0)\times 10^{-16}$ g in water, which is four orders of magnitude better than that in our first-generation setup [Sci. Adv. 8, eabq2502 (2022)]. This highly sensitive mass sensor provides a free-access optomechanical probe in liquid and could thus be extended to a wide variety of in-situ chemical and biological metrology applications.

description: Social media sites are information marketplaces, where users produce and consume a wide variety of information and ideas. In these sites, users typically choose their information sources, which in turn determine what specific information they receive, how much information they receive and how quickly this information is shown to them. In this context, a natural question that arises is how efficient are social media users at selecting their information sources. In this work, we propose a computational framework to quantify users' efficiency at selecting information sources. Our framework is based on the assumption that the goal of users is to acquire a set of unique pieces of information. To quantify user's efficiency, we ask if the user could have acquired the same pieces of information from another set of sources more efficiently. We define three different notions of efficiency -- link, in-flow, and delay -- corresponding to the number of sources the user follows, the amount of (redundant) information she acquires and the delay with which she receives the information. Our definitions of efficiency are general and applicable to any social media system with an underlying information network, in which every user follows others to receive the information they produce. In our experiments, we measure the efficiency of Twitter users at acquiring different types of information. We find that Twitter users exhibit sub-optimal efficiency across the three notions of efficiency, although they tend to be more efficient at acquiring non-popular than popular pieces of information. We then show that this lack of efficiency is a consequence of the triadic closure mechanism by which users typically discover and follow other users in social media. Finally, we develop a heuristic algorithm that enables users to be significantly more efficient at acquiring the same unique pieces of information.

A single step patterning process combined with cost effective copper electrochemical plating (ECP) to form the electrodes. Greater than 23% high efficiency is achieved using Triex® solar cells, post optimizing key process areas to improve passivation, junction quality, emitter properties and shading effects. High open circuit voltage (Voc) 739mV and good fill factor (FF) 80.5% has been demonstrated on a 6inch solar cell. A champion 390W Triex® bifacial module is also validated under STC conditions. Extended cell and module reliability were studied in-depth and successfully tested to enable highly reliable Silevo products.

description: I-V measurements are sensitive to the number and positioning of current and voltage sensing contacts. For busbarless solar cells, measurement setups have been developed using current collection wires and separate voltage sense contacts. Placing the latter at a defined position enables a grid resistance neglecting measurement and thus I-V characteristics independent from the contacting system. This technique has been developed for solar cells having a finger grid and good conductivity in the direction of the fingers. The optimal position of the sense contact in case of finger-free silicon heterojunction solar cells has not yet been studied. Here, the lateral charge carrier transport occurs in a transparent conductive oxide layer resulting in a higher lateral resistance. We perform finite difference method simulations of HJT solar cells without front metallization to investigate the impact of high lateral resistances on the I-V measurement of solar cells. We show the high sensitivity on the number of used wires for contacting as well as the position of the sense contact for the voltage measurement. Using the simulations, we are able to explain the high difference of up to 7.5% in fill factor measurements of metal free solar cells with varying TCO sheet resistances between two measurement systems using different contacting setups. We propose a method to compensate for the contacting system to achieve a grid-resistance neglecting measurement with both systems allowing a reduction of the FF difference to below 1.5%.

description: Inhomogeneous local photocurrent generation, as typical for multicrystalline
silicon (mc-Si) solar cells, leads to lateral balancing currents, occurring also
under open-circuit conditions. In general, all currents passing emitter and grid of a solar cell
lead to ohmic losses which increase with the distance the currents have to flow through grid
and emitter. Therefore, for the ohmic losses related to lateral balancing currents, the
distribution of sites with low photocurrent generation plays a crucial role: a 2-D clustering
leads to significantly larger losses than a 1-D arrangement (or even an isolated occurrence)
of such sites. These ohmic losses can be made visible both in CELLO and luminescence
series resistance measurements, which also show that the strength of the losses varies with
the coupling of such clusters to the grid.

description: The process development and control of production steps that can fabricate high efficiency emitters are
greatly aided by techniques that allow losses to be quantified. It is particularly useful when these characterisation
techniques can be performed on partially processed wafers as this allows the impact of individual process steps to be
monitored and improved. This paper presents a recently developed technique based on photoluminescence excitation
spectroscopy which allows the extraction of information that is equivalent to that normally obtained using traditional QE
techniques. Being based on photoluminescence rather than extracted current the technique is contactless and can be
applied in principle at any stage of cell production.

description: An advanced version of SERIS’ loss analysis method for silicon wafer based solar cells [1, 2, 3] is
presented, fully considering intensity-dependent recombination. Using a bottom-up analysis of the solar cell and
some dedicated test samples, the short-circuit current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and fill factor (FF)
losses can be broken down to quantify individual loss mechanisms. As outlined before, Jsc losses can be quantified by
a detailed analysis of spectral response measurements, optical measurements, and geometric measurements [1, 2, 3].
In order to account for intensity dependent recombination effects, Voc and FF losses are analysed through photoconductance-
calibrated photoluminescence (PL) imaging of test structures at different illumination intensities. By
extending the PL based analysis, covering the illumination range 0.02 - 1.2 suns, the influence of intensity-dependent
recombination can also be observed at the maximum power point, yielding a detailed FF loss analysis. The FF loss
analysis is completed by including FF losses due to series and shunt resistance. The method is demonstrated using an
aluminium local back surface field (Al-LBSF) silicon wafer solar cell with an efficiency of 19.4 %. Using the same
methodology (i.e. analysing intensity dependent PL images of partially processed lifetime samples), the efficiency
potential of rear-side μc-Si:H heterojunction line contacts (obtained by local laser ablation of a rear-side AlOx/SiNx
passivation stack and subsequent μc-Si:H re-passivation) is also analysed.

description: We report on an Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) study of the Class I or II intermediate-mass protostar DK Cha in the Chamaeleon II region. The 12CO (J=2-1) images have an angular resolution of ~1'' (~250 au) and show high-velocity blueshifted (>70 km s-1) and redshifted (>50 km s-1) emissions which have 3000 au scale crescent-shaped structures around the protostellar disk traced in the 1.3mm continuum. Because the high-velocity components of the CO emission are associated with the protostar, we concluded that the emission traces the pole-on outflow. The blueshifted outflow lobe has a clear layered velocity gradient with a higher velocity component located on the inner side of the crescent shape, which can be explained by a model of an outflow with a higher velocity in the inner radii. Based on the directly driven outflow scenario, we estimated the driving radii from the observed outflow velocities and found that the driving region extends over two orders of magnitude. The 13CO emission traces a complex envelope structure with arc-like substructures with lengths of ~1000au. We identified the arc-like structures as streamers because they appear to be connected to a rotating infalling envelope. DK Cha is useful for understanding characteristics that are visible by looking at nearly face-on configurations of young protostellar systems, providing an alternative perspective for studying the star-formation process.

description: Facial expressions are one of the most powerful, natural and immediate means for human being to communicate their emotions and intensions. Recognition of facial expression has many applications including human-computer interaction, cognitive science, human emotion analysis, personality development etc. In this paper, we propose a new method for the recognition of facial expressions from single image frame that uses combination of appearance and geometric features with support vector machines classification. In general, appearance features for the recognition of facial expressions are computed by dividing face region into regular grid (holistic representation). But, in this paper we extracted region specific appearance features by dividing the whole face region into domain specific local regions. Geometric features are also extracted from corresponding domain specific regions. In addition, important local regions are determined by using incremental search approach which results in the reduction of feature dimension and improvement in recognition accuracy. The results of facial expressions recognition using features from domain specific regions are also compared with the results obtained using holistic representation. The performance of the proposed facial expression recognition system has been validated on publicly available extended Cohn-Kanade (CK+) facial expression data sets.

description: Introduction: Plants release a large variety of metabolites via their roots to shape physico-chemical soil properties and biological processes in the rhizosphere. While hydroponic growth conditions facilitate accessibility of the root system and recovery of root exudates, the natural soil environment can alter root metabolism and exudate secretion, raising the question to what extent the quantity and composition of root exudates released in hydroponic growth systems reflect those recovered from soil-grown roots. Methods: Using a root washing method, we sampled root exudates from four field-grown cover crop species with wide taxonomic distance, namely white mustard, lacy phacelia, bristle oat, and Egyptian clover. A set of primary metabolites and secondary metabolites were analysed in a targeted and untargeted LC-MS-based approach, respectively, for comparison with exudates obtained from hydroponically cultured plants. Results and discussion: We found that hydroponically cultivated plants released a larger amount of total carbon, but that the recovery of total carbon was not indicative for the diversity of metabolites in root exudates. In the field, root exudates from phacelia and clover contained 2.4 to 3.8 times more secondary metabolites, whereas carbon exudation in hydroponics was 5- to 4-fold higher. The composition of the set of metabolites identified using the untargeted approach was much more distinct among all species and growth conditions than that of quantified primary metabolites. Among secondary metabolite classes, the presence of lipids and lipid-like molecules was highly indicative for field samples, while the release of a large amount of phenylpropanoids, organoheterocyclic compounds or benzenoids was characteristic for clover, mustard or oat, respectively, irrespective of the cultivation condition. However, at the compound level the bulk of released metabolites was specific for cultivation conditions in every species, which implies that hydroponically sampled root exudates poorly reflect the metabolic complexity of root exudates recovered from field-grown plants.

description: Recent models for the inner structure of active galactic nuclei (AGN) advocate the presence of a radiatively accelerated, dusty outflow launched from the outer regions of the accretion disk. Here we present the first near-infrared (near-IR) variable (rms) spectrum for the high-luminosity, nearby AGN Mrk 876. We find that it tracks the accretion disk spectrum out to longer wavelengths than the mean spectrum due to a reduced dust emission. The implied outer accretion disk radius is consistent with the infrared results predicted by a contemporaneous optical accretion disk reverberation mapping campaign and much larger than the self-gravity radius. The reduced flux variability of the hot dust could be either due to the presence of a secondary, constant dust component in the mean spectrum or introduced by the destructive superposition of the dust and accretion disk variability signals or some combination of both. Assuming thermal equilibrium for optically thin dust, we derive the luminosity-based dust radius for different grain properties using our measurement of the temperature. We find that in all cases considered the values are significantly larger than the dust response time measured by IR photometric monitoring campaigns, with the least discrepancy present relative to the result for a wavelength-independent dust emissivity law, i.e. a blackbody, which is appropriate for large grain sizes. This result can be well explained by assuming a flared, disk-like structure for the hot dust.

description: We present high-resolution Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI observations and deep Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) optical imaging of two galaxy groups: NGC 4725/47 and NGC 3166/9. These data are part of a multi-wavelength unbiased survey of the gas-rich dwarf galaxy populations in three nearby interacting galaxy groups. The NGC 4725/47 group hosts two tidal knots and one dIrr. Both tidal knots are located within a prominent HI tidal tail, appear to have sufficient mass (M_gas~10^8 M_sol) to evolve into long-lived tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) and are fairly young in age. The NGC 3166/9 group contains a TDG candidate, AGC 208457, at least three dIrrs and four HI knots. Deep CFHT imaging confirms that the optical component of AGC 208457 is bluer -- with a 0.28 mag g-r colour -- and a few Gyr younger than its purported parent galaxies. Combining the results for these groups with those from the NGC 871/6/7 group reported earlier, we find that the HI properties, estimated stellar ages and baryonic content of the gas-rich dwarfs clearly distinguish tidal features from their classical counterparts. We optimistically identify four potentially long-lived tidal objects associated to three separate pairs of interacting galaxies, implying that TDGs are not readily produced during interaction events as suggested by some recent simulations. The tidal objects examined in this survey also appear to have a wider variety of properties than TDGs of similar mass formed in current simulations of interacting galaxies, which could be the result of pre- or post-formation environmental influences.

Silicon Solar Cell Characterisation and Modelling

description: 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 441-445
description: This work aims for assessing the efficiency potential of multicrystalline n-type silicon as base material
for the production of high efficiency solar cells. To achieve this goal, a multicrystalline (mc) n-type and a mc p-type
silicon block were produced from the same silicon feedstock under identical crystallization conditions, only differing
in their type of doping. This allows for an investigation of the change in material quality and efficiency potential by
switching the type of doping from p- to n-type. The material quality is investigated along the whole block height by
means of photoluminescence imaging (PLI) of the diffusion length after different typical solar cell processing steps.
An “Efficiency limiting bulk recombination analysis” (ELBA) furthermore allows for a prediction of the spatially resolved
efficiency potential by combining injection dependent minority carrier lifetime images with PC1D cell simulations.
This investigation reveals a considerably higher efficiency potential after typical solar cell processes along
the whole block height of the mc n-type silicon compared to the mc p-type silicon.

description: We analyze in detail an open cavity array using mean-field description, where each cavity field is coupled to a number of three-level atoms. Such system is highly tunable and can be described by a Jaynes-Cummings like Hamiltonian with additional non-linear terms. In the single cavity case we provide simple analytic solutions and show, that the system features a bistable region. The extra non-linear term gives rise to a rich dynamical behaviour including occurrence of limit cycles through Hopf bifurcations. In the limit of large non-linearity, the system exhibits an Ising like phase transition as the coupling between light and matter is varied. We then discuss how these results extend to the two-dimensional case.

description: The process of contact formation of Al containing Ag screen-printing pastes to p+ emitters is
investigated by an electron microscopic analysis of etched-back contacts (aqua regia and hydrofluoric acid) and
polished contact cross-sections. Ag/Al contact spots grown into the Si surface are detected below inhomogeneously
structured areas of the bulk contact that contain Al. In addition, Si accumulations are found in the Ag/Al phase in
these parts of the contact after contact formation. It is concluded that during the firing process Ag and Al are
transported from the bulk contact to the Si surface, where Ag/Al contact spots grow. The solved Si diffuses in the
parts of the contact containing Al. Despite the diffusion of Si, Ag and Al, the SiNx:H layer below the inhomogeneous
part of the contact and especially above the Ag/Al contact spots is not completely etched away, as is shown by EDX
measurements using top view and cross-sectional samples. Based on the observations made by SEM and EDX
analysis, a phenomenological model for the exchange of Si, Ag and Al through holes in the SiNx:H layer and the
growth of Ag/Al contact spots below the SiNx:H layer is presented.

description: The growing antibiotic resistance, foremost in Gram-negative bacteria, requires novel therapeutic approaches. We aimed to enhance the potency of well-established antibiotics targeting the RNA polymerase (RNAP) by utilizing the microbial iron transport machinery to improve drug translocation across their cell membrane. As covalent modifications resulted in moderate-low antibiotic activity, cleavable linkers were designed that permit a release of the antibiotic payload inside the bacteria and unperturbed target binding. A panel of ten cleavable siderophore-ciprofloxacin conjugates with systematic variation at the chelator and the linker moiety was used to identify the quinone trimethyl lock in conjugates 8 and 12 as the superior linker system, displaying minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of ≤1 μM. Then, rifamycins, sorangicin A and corallopyronin A, representatives of three structurally and mechanistically different natural product RNAP inhibitor classes, were conjugated via the quinone linker to hexadentate hydroxamate and catecholate siderophores in 15-19 synthetic steps. MIC assays revealed an up to 32-fold increase in antibiotic activity against multidrug-resistant E. coli for conjugates such as 24 or 29 compared to free rifamycin. Experiments with knockout mutants in the transport system showed that translocation and antibiotic effects were conferred by several outer membrane receptors, whose coupling to the TonB protein was essential for activity. A functional release mechanism was demonstrated analytically by enzyme assays in vitro, and a combination of subcellular fractionation and quantitative mass spectrometry proved cellular uptake of the conjugate, release of the antibiotic, and its increased accumulation in the cytosol of bacteria. The study demonstrates how the potency of existing antibiotics against resistant Gram-negative pathogens can be boosted by adding functions for active transport and intracellular release.

description: In this work, we summarize the basic results of two studies investigating the detection of micro-cracks
in as-cut wafers, their impact on fracture strength after texturing (criterion 1) and finally the electrical quality after
solar cell production (criterion 2). As a key parameter for quality assessment, the morphology of the artificially
induced cracks is reconstructed and quantified in photoluminescence (PL) images of as-cut wafers. As expected, the
crack-related sorting parameter showed high correlation to both quality parameters. This enables us to define
classification criteria to rate the measured crack morphology in the as-cut stage in terms of the expected fracture
strength of the wafer and the expected parallel resistance of the cell, respectively. Based on the presented studies,
sorting criteria are evaluated via a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis assuming a specific production
load. Moreover, requirements for a PL detection algorithm are derived to achieve the optimal sorting quality
according to specific limits for fracture strength and parallel resistance. Cost of Ownership calculations show, that
sorting out as-cut wafers prior to cell production can be beneficial if the crack detection system’s sorting quality is
sufficient.

description: Current and future continuum surveys being undertaken by the new generation of radio telescopes are now poised to address many important science questions, ranging from the earliest galaxies, to the physics of nearby AGN, as well as potentially providing new and unexpected discoveries. However, how to efficiently analyse the large quantities of data collected by these studies in order to maximise their scientific output remains an open question. In these proceedings we present details of the surveys module for the Broadband Radio Astronomy Tools (BRATS) software package which will combine new observations with existing multi-frequency data in order to automatically analyse and select sources based on their spectrum. We show how these methods can been applied to investigate objects observed on a variety of spatial scales, and suggest a pathway for how this can be used in the wider context of surveys and large samples.

description: The ability to control the chemical concentration of etching baths is a critical step in being able to achieve
uniform and repeatable texturization of solar cells. It also maximizes the chemical usage by being able to extend the usable
bath life of the process. This in turn, cuts down on waste and reduces the overall cost of ownership (COO). The use of
conductivity as a means of control has long been in use for oxide etching baths. The ability to extend that technology to other
chemicals has been explored. This paper demonstrates the use of pH and conductivity sensors to monitor and control the
concentration of KOH solutions. The effects of various additives as well as silicate buildup on pH and conductivity have been
investigated and the results showed that the bath life can be extended and stable processes obtained.
