description: Glass has long been used for photovoltaic module covers and thin-film module substrates and superstrates. Typically
this application uses standard or low-iron soda-lime-silica float glass with thickness  3.2 mm. Here we consider a specialty
thin glass as either the substrate or superstrate of a dual-glass laminated TF PV module. A standard tempered 3.2 mm sodalime-
silica glass is used as the other sheet to complete the dual-glass package. Specialty thin glass is expected to improve
efficiency through higher transmission and allowing higher TF processing temperatures. Thin glass also has lower thermal
and physical mass, allowing faster heating and cooling and lower module weight.
Thin specialty glasses are shown to be an attractive option for thin-film photovoltaic module substrates and
superstrates. They are able to withstand wind and snow loads along with hail impact. Their fatigue resistance is
significantly better than that of soda-lime-silica glass. Thicknesses ranging from 0.7 to 1.5 mm are shown to be suitable for
thin film photovoltaic applications. As with any glass selection, support structure design is a key factor for limiting
mechanical stresses to a safe level, thereby ensuring long term reliability of PV modules.

Colluricincla

description: Colluricincla harmonica zamba Mathews Colluricincla harmonica zamba Mathews, 1912b: 46 (Kangaroo Island, South Australia). Now Colluricincla harmonica harmonica (Latham, 1801). See Mayr, 1967: 44, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 458–462, and Boles, 2007: 432–433. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 656591 adult male, collected at Waterfall Creek, Kangaroo Island, 35.50S, 137.06E (USBGN, 1957), South Australia, Australia, on 4 December 1911, by Samuel A. White (no. 389). From the Mathews Collection (no. 10183) via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Mathews cited his catalog number of the holotype in the original description. The specimen bears, in addition to White’s field label, Mathews and Rothschild type labels and a ‘‘Figured’’ label, indicating that it was illustrated in Mathews (1923a: pl. 478, opp. p. 278, text p. 280), where it is confirmed as the type of zamba. Only one additional Kangaroo Island specimen cataloged by Mathews before the name was published on 2 April 1912 came to AMNH: paratype AMNH 656593 (Mathews no. 10182), female, collected on 1 December 1911 by S.A. White (no. 388). There are perhaps additional specimens in SAMA.

description: We have calculated the composite (pseudo) scalar contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of muons in models of walking technicolor. By the axial or scale anomaly the light scalars such as techni-dilaton, techni-pions or techni-eta have anomalous couplings to two-photons, which make them natural candidates for the recent 750 GeV resonance excess, observed at LHC. Due to the anomalous couplings, their contributions to muon (g-2) are less suppressed and might explain the current deviation in muon (g-2) measurements from theory.

description: We present a nonlinear stabilized Lagrange-Galerkin scheme for the Oseen-type Peterlin viscoelastic model. Our scheme is a combination of the method of characteristics and Brezzi-Pitkäranta's stabilization method for the conforming linear elements, which yields an efficient computation with a small number of degrees of freedom. We prove error estimates with the optimal convergence order without any relation between the time increment and the mesh size. The result is valid for both the diffusive and non-diffusive models for the conformation tensor in two space dimensions. We introduce an additional term that yields a suitable structural property and allows us to obtain required energy estimate. The theoretical convergence orders are confirmed by numerical experiments. In a forthcoming paper, Part II, a linear scheme is proposed and the corresponding error estimates are proved in two and three space dimensions for the diffusive model.

description: This paper is the result of a research project completed in the context of the first author's Undergraduate Student Research Award from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). We prove a nesting phenomenon for twisted Frobenius extensions. Namely, suppose $R \subseteq B \subseteq A$ are graded superrings such that $A$ and $B$ are both twisted Frobenius extensions of $R$, $R$ is contained in the center of $A$, and $A$ is projective over $B$. Our main result is that, under these assumptions, $A$ is a twisted Frobenius extension of $B$. This generalizes a result of Pike and the second author, which considered the case where $R$ is a field.

description: The dark resistanceless (not accounting for the series resistance) current-voltage characteristic of a multijunction (MJ) and singlejunction solar cells (SC’s) determines their efficiencies. This characteristic for a MJ SC consists of a set of exponential portions as for a singlejunction one. This gives grounds to introduce a definition of a resultant p-n junction simulating a MJ SC with resultant diode coefficients and preexponential factors on each portion. An equation correlating the efficiency h and the generated current density Jg has been obtained with and without accounting for the series resistance. For the InGaP, GaAs p-n junctions and InGaP/GaAs tandem, dark resistanceless current-voltage characteristics in the current density range of (10-5 – 101) A/cm2 has been obtained. For the InGaP/GaAs tandem on the portion of the recombination origin (the resultant diode coefficient A=4), the resultant preexponential factor J0r » 3 10-13A/cm2; on the portion of the diffusion (A=2) origin J0d » 2 10-23A/cm2. Using the equation obtained, the h - Jg characteristic has been calculated and plotted. For the InGaP/GaAs tandem,
this characteristic fits well to the experimental one. The results shown that, for the tandem InGaP/GaAs solar cells at the generated currents density Jg » (10-2-100) A/cm2, the contribution of the recombination component should be accounted for.

description: This paper reports on simulated hail-impact tests on Fresnel lenses, and on sheet lens materials, suitable for use in concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) systems. The tests were carried out using a pneumatically-powered gun
made available by the Department of Engineering at the University of Reading. Test procedures followed those in the recently-approved IEC 62108 standard for CPV modules and receivers. An acrylic (PMMA) sample 100x100x2 mm can
resist an impact of an ice ball with a speed of 25.4 m/s per the specification in the IEC Standard no 62108. Longer parquets of lenses broke more easily than the shorter 100x100 samples further investigation as to the cause is needed.

description: We study the Potts spin glass model, which generalizes the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model to the case when spins take more than two values but their interactions are counted only if the spins are equal. We obtain the analogue of the Parisi variational formula for the free energy, with the order parameter now given by a monotone path in the set of positive-semidefinite matrices. The main idea of the paper is a novel synchronization mechanism for blocks of overlaps. This mechanism can be used to solve a more general version of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with vector spins interacting through their scalar product, which includes the Potts spin glass as a special case. As another example of application, one can show that Talagrand's bound for multiple copies of the mixed $p$-spin model with constrained overlaps is asymptotically sharp. We consider these problems in the subsequent paper, arXiv:1512.04441, and illustrate the main new idea on the technically more transparent case of the Potts spin glass.

description: The Centre for Hybrid and Organic Solar Energy (CHOSE) at the University of Rome Tor Vergata is focusing
its efforts in developing reliable and stable dye solar cells and modules. The CHOSE development program foresees that new
cells and modules will be tested both indoor and outdoor in order to have an overview of the real performances of the
devices. This is generally a key point for a correct evaluation of the actual performances of any photovoltaic technology. In
October 2008 an outdoor measurement campaign on Dye Solar Cells has been started. Two different types of cells have been
built in the laboratory, varying the characteristics of the TiO2 film, in order to evaluate their behaviour in real outdoor
environment. Data collected during the two first month of outdoor cell exposure are presented in this paper. Daily trends of
cell efficiency as a function of the environmental parameters and of the cell temperature have been investigated, focusing on
the cell behaviour at low irradiance levels.

degradation mechanisms in detail. The hypothesis related to the ageing of these parts are critically studied and separated from
the solid experimental evidences. This facilitates a systematic and detailed analysis of the degradation in DSCs.

description: α-ketoglutarate (αKG) is a central metabolic node with a broad influence on cellular physiology. The αKG analogue N-oxalylglycine (NOG) and its membrane-permeable pro-drug derivative dimethyl-oxalylglycine (DMOG) have been extensively used as tools to study prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) and other αKG-dependent processes. In cell culture media, DMOG is rapidly converted to MOG, which enters cells through monocarboxylate transporter MCT2, leading to intracellular NOG concentrations that are sufficiently high to inhibit glutaminolysis enzymes and cause cytotoxicity. Therefore, the degree of (D)MOG instability together with MCT2 expression levels determine the intracellular targets NOG engages with and, ultimately, its effects on cell viability. Here we designed and characterised a series of MOG analogues with the aims of improving compound stability and exploring the functional requirements for interaction with MCT2, a relatively understudied member of the SLC16 family. We report MOG analogues that maintain ability to enter cells via MCT2, and identify compounds that do not inhibit glutaminolysis or cause cytotoxicity but can still inhibit PHDs. We use these analogues to show that, under our experimental conditions, glutaminolysis-induced activation of mTORC1 can be uncoupled from PHD activity. Therefore, these new compounds can help deconvolute cellular effects that result from the polypharmacological action of NOG.

AZUR SPACE Solar Power in respect to III-V-based triple-junction solar cells. These cells are used in space
environment and in terrestrial concentrator systems. AZUR space cells based on the lattice-matched concept have
reached efficiencies of up to 30.6 %. Furthermore, they exhibit exceptional radiation hardness. EOL efficiencies of up
to 25.8 % after irradiation with 1 x 1015 1 MeV electrons/cm² have been reached. In regard to terrestrial application in
concentrator systems Fraunhofer ISE has developed metamorphic triple-junction solar cells reaching an efficiency of
41.1 % at 454 suns. The development of a suitable buffer and tunnel diode structure for the metamorphic growth
approach is discussed in this paper.

description: Background: Red blood cell (RBC) exchange for sickle cell disease presents unique difficulties due to RBC phenotyping, complex antibody work-ups, large number of RBC units required, and vascular access considerations, any of which can delay the procedure. Multidisciplinary coordination and systemic processes ensure monthly appointments remain on schedule.
 Study Design and Methods: A high-volume chronic red cell exchange program is described, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary coordination and process improvement strategies involving initial referral, vascular access, order sets, and allocation of antigen-negative or phenotypically matched RBCs.
 Results: Approximately fifty outpatient red cell exchanges are performed each month with an 82% kept-appointment rate. Specific factors for program success include open communication across services and improvements to referrals and standardized order sets.
 Conclusion: A combination of multidisciplinary coordination and process improvement can ensure the success of a high volume red cell exchange program Frequent communication of upcoming appointments between the referring hematologists, the hemapheresis clinic, transfusion service, and interventional radiology is critical. Advance notice to the immunohematology reference lab of upcoming appointments is needed to allow enough time for allocating antigen-negative RBCs. Order sets can be leveraged to standardize and streamline red blood cell exchanges. Lastly, numerous mechanisms help patients compensate for the cognitive sequelae of stroke.

description: Denoising, detrending, deconvolution: usual restoration tasks, traditionally decoupled. Coupled formulations entail complex ill-posed inverse problems. We propose PENDANTSS for joint trend removal and blind deconvolution of sparse peak-like signals. It blends a parsimonious prior with the hypothesis that smooth trend and noise can somewhat be separated by low-pass filtering. We combine the generalized quasi-norm ratio SOOT/SPOQ sparse penalties $\ell_p/\ell_q$ with the BEADS ternary assisted source separation algorithm. This results in a both convergent and efficient tool, with a novel Trust-Region block alternating variable metric forward-backward approach. It outperforms comparable methods, when applied to typically peaked analytical chemistry signals. Reproducible code is provided.

description: We introduce the notion of "hypergeometric" polynomials with respect to Newtonian bases. These polynomials are eigenfunctions ($L P_n(x) = λ_n P_n(x)$) of some abstract operator $L$ which is 2-diagonal in the Newtonian basis $φ_n(x)$: $L φ_n(x) = λ_n φ_n(x) + τ_n(x) φ_{n-1}(x)$ with some coefficients $λ_n$, $τ_n$. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions for the polynomials $P_n(x)$ to be orthogonal. For the special cases where the sets $λ_n$ correspond to the classical grids, we find the complete solution to these conditions and observe that it leads to the most general Askey-Wilson polynomials and their special and degenerate classes.

description: The thermodynamics of foreign atoms in nano crystals (NCs) shows that conventional doping is not feasible
to a degree required for high quality devices. We introduce an adjacent barrier layer to Si3N4 with excess
Si for NC formation which can be doped by the same excess Si within the same anneal required for Si NC
formation. In III-V super lattices (SLs), modulation doping is the standard approach. Aluminium nitride,
gallium nitride and their alloys (AlxGa1−xN, 0 ≤ x ≤ 1) are routinely doped with Si as a donor up to ca.
1020 cm−3. The electronic and thermochemical properties of AlxGa1−xN ensure an excellent fit as matrix
materials for the band structure of Si QD super lattices, with high compatibility to Si process technology
like co-sputtering of AlxGa1−xN from AlN and GaN targets. The ratio of Al/Ga can be used to tune the
barrier heights between the QD arrays. DFT calculations showed that Ga also works as a shallow donor in
AlxGa1−xN, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.3, extending the material range to Ge and SiGe NC in G3N4.

See Whittell and Serventy, 1948: 66, Schodde and Mason, 1999: 458–462, and Boles, 2007: 432–433. SYNTYPES: AMNH 656835 (Mathews no. 2513), adult male, collected at ‘‘ Tor Bay, Albany,’’ 35.02S, 117.53E (USBGN, 1957), southwestern Western Australia, Australia, 22 April 1905; AMNH 656836 (2511), immature male, collected at Albany, 11 February 1905, by Thomas Carter; AMNH 656837 (5203), immature male, collected at Albany, 9 January 1905, by Thomas Carter. From the Mathews Collection via the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: Only three specimens from the Mathews Collection are labeled Albany, but none are indicated as the type; accordingly, all are considered syntypes. AMNH 656835 has no original label, only a Mathews Collection label with data supplied by Mathews; the locality probably should be Torbay Bay, near Albany. His catalog number is also written on it, but there is no further information concerning its provenance. The other two specimens are immatures but the original description is characteristically too vague to exclude them as types.

description: The quantitative interpretation of a Light Beam Induced Current (LBIC) contrast profile (LBIC signal
normalized to the signal infinitely far from the grain boundary) of a Grain Boundary (GB) allows the estimation of the
effective diffusion length in the neighboring grains (Leff) as well as the recombination strength of the GB characterized by its
equivalent Surface Recombination Velocity (SRV) S. Among the various sources of asymmetry of the GB contrast profile,
the presence of a nearby GB (less than one Leff from the studied GB) is one of the most present in mc-Si wafer solar cells. We
show here that fitting these asymmetric profiles using a different diffusion length on each side of the GB induces,
additionally to an erroneous fit shape, a large error in the grain diffusion length estimation. In order to be able to fit this
situation, we present here a dedicated model that takes into account the influence of a nearby grain boundary on one side
providing that the next grain boundary on the other side is located at more than 1.5 Leff. In a future extension, this technique
will present the unique feature of being able to evaluate the diffusion length of elongated narrow grains, like in silicon ribbon
materials, that cannot be usually accessed because of the predominant influence of the GB on their plateau level.

description: In this paper, we deal with the Front Steepest Descent algorithm for multi-objective optimization. We point out that the algorithm from the literature is often incapable, by design, of spanning large portions of the Pareto front. We thus introduce some modifications within the algorithm aimed to overcome this significant limitation. We prove that the asymptotic convergence properties of the algorithm are preserved and numerically show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the original one.

description: APOLLONSOLAR’s New Industrial Cell Encapsulation (NICE) technology for the manufacturing of PV
modules uses a ribbon of poly-isobutylene (PIB) around the perimeter of the module in order to seal the inside of the module
from the outside atmosphere and provide environmental protection of the cells and interconnectors. The PIB sealing assures a
very efficient and long term air/humidity tightness, allowing the establishment of an under pressure inside the module that is
used to establish the electrical contact between solar cell busbars and interconnecting wires by pressure, thus avoiding the
soldering of these contacts. High module fill factors and low series resistances have been regularly obtained with this type of
electrical series connection by under pressure. In order to assure a module lifetime of at least 30 years it is therefore
important to avoid degradation of the PIB sealing and associated losses of the under pressure inside the module. Although the
gas and humidity tightness of NICE modules has been indirectly demonstrated by the positive degradation test results
according to the IEC standard 61215, this work presents a method to directly measure gas leakage rates of the PIB sealing in
contact with the materials typically found in NICE modules: Glass, metal sheet and metal sheet covered with an organic
electrical insulation coating. With a newly designed experimental set up the long term gas and humidity tightness of different
sealing materials was evaluated by monitoring the under pressure in the closed volume of the experimental set up, under
different conditions: room temperature, temperature cycles between -40°C and +85°C, elevated temperatures of + 85°C at
85% relative humidity and over an extended time cycle. The obtained results are very encouraging in that no under pressure
loss occurred for two out of three tested sealing materials.

description: Flexible thin film solar cells (TFSCs) based on Cu(In,Ga)(Se,S)2 (CIGS) absorber material are interesting candidates for future space photovoltaic power systems. In order to verify the possible use for space applications, different experimental investigations of flexible CIGS solar cells on polyimide (PI) and titanium (TI) substrate were carried out. Details of the evaluation of mechanical properties (MP) by tensile test and fast particle impact (IP) tests are presented in this paper. The experimental procedures are provided and fundamental electrical parameters of these TFSCs are presented. Different damage characteristics for TFSCs either on polyimide or titanium substrates were observed during the investigations. The obtained results identified the capability of flexible CIGS TFSCs on polyimide substrate towards the use for space applications.
Conditions for optimal input states for discrimination of quantum channels

description: We find optimality conditions for testers in discrimination of quantum channels. These conditions are obtained using semidefinite programming and are similar to optimality conditions for POVMs obtained by Holevo for ensembles of quantum states. We get a simple condition for existence of an optimal tester with any given input state with maximal Schmidt rank, in particular with a maximally entangled input state and we show the pitfalls of using input states with not maximal Schmidt rank. In case when maximally entangled state is not the optimal input state an error estimate is obtained. The results for maximally entangled input state are applied to covariant channels, qubit channels, unitary channels and simple projective measurements.

description: We present a comprehensive and updated comparison with cosmological observations of two non-local modifications of gravity previously introduced by our group, the so called RR and RT models. We implement the background evolution and the cosmological perturbations of the models in a modified Boltzmann code, using CLASS. We then test the non-local models against the {\em Planck} 2015 TT, TE, EE and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) lensing data, isotropic and anisotropic Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) data, JLA supernovae, $H_0$ measurements and growth rate data, and we perform Bayesian parameter estimation. We then compare the RR, RT and $Λ$CDM models, using the Savage-Dickey method. We find that the RT model and $Λ$CDM perform equally well, while the performance of the RR model with respect to $Λ$CDM depends on whether or not we include a prior on $H_0$ based on local measurements.

description: The Photovoltaic Concentrator technology is considered a promising alternative option to PV-flat to overcome the present day barriers in terms of material shortage and costs. Relevance was given by ENEA through the PhoCUS project having the aim to develop a new technology able to realize a monolytic low-cost photovoltaic module suitable to work under medium concentration (200X). Several technical problems were faced and overcome about the development of the solar cells, the system housing integrating optics and receivers, the realization of the lenses and heat spreaders and the mechanical-thermal and electrical performance modelling. In order to meet the low cost requirement a large use of conventional materials and components together with manufacturing and assembling techniques addressed to a cheap full automation have been adopted in cooperation with national industrial operators. The effort made has brought to file many patents relating novel solutions used in Phocus C-module. The final product meeting the design specification was obtained.

Pitohui

description: Pitohui dohertyi Rothschild and Hartert Pitohui dohertyi Rothschild and Hartert, 1903a: 95 (Ron). Now Pitohui kirhocephalus dohertyi Rothschild and Hartert, 1903. See Dickinson, 2003: 490, and Boles, 2007: 433–434. HOLOTYPE: AMNH 656286, adult male, collected on Roon (5 Ron) Island, 02.24S, 134.32E (Times Atlas), Teluk Cenderawasih (5 Geelvink Bay), Papua Province, Indonesia, in June 1897, by William Doherty (no. 969). From the Rothschild Collection. COMMENTS: In the original description, the type was listed as Doherty specimen no. 769 from Ron Island, collected in June 1897. This was apparently a lapsus, as Hartert (1920a: 454) listed the type as no. 969, without comment. The above specimen is marked ‘‘ Type of P. dohertyi’’ on Doherty’s label and bears a Rothschild type label. It is the only Roon Island specimen of Doherty’s that has a number. Rothschild and Hartert listed a type series of three males and two females collected in June 1897 and seven males and two females collected in July 1897. Seven of the males and two of the females collected by Doherty at that time on Roon came to AMNH, and it is not clear whether there is an error in the list of specimens or whether there were additional specimens that were not kept by Rothschild. The eight paratypes in AMNH are: AMNH 656287, AMNH 656288, males, July; AMNH 656289, male, June; AMNH 656290, male, July; AMNH 656291, AMNH 656292, males, June; AMNH 656293, AMNH 656294, females, July.

description: Turing progressions arise by iteratedly adding consistency statements to a base theory. Different notions of consistency give rise to different Turing progressions. In this paper we present a logic that generates exactly all relations that hold between these different Turing progressions given a particular set of natural consistency notions. Thus, the presented logic is proven to arithmetically sound and complete for a natural interpretation, named the \emph{Formalized Turing progressions} (FTP) interpretation.

description: The first edition of the IEC 62108: “Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules and assemblies – Design qualification and type approval” was published on December 2007, being its main purpose to determine electrical, mechanical and thermal characteristics of CPV modules and to probe their capability to withstand prolonged exposure in moderated climats. Although based on the philosophy of IEC-61215 for flat plate modules, there are important differences derived of the special features of CPV receivers and modules, particularly with
regard to the separation of on-site and in-lab tests, effect of tracking alignment, high current density, and rapid temperature changes in the samples among others, which have resulted in the formulation of some new test procedures or new requirements

Surrogate Nuclear Debris

description: Nuclear forensic analysis is necessary discipline for the enforcements of the United States foreign policies of nuclear deterrence and non-proliferation. As the global situation continues to evolve, further refinement of the methods used by this discipline is necessary to ensure swift and accurate source attribution of nuclear materials. Surrogate nuclear material serves as a valuable tool for testing and improving analytical procedures and operational procedures, particularly regarding post-detonation nuclear forensic analysis. Over the past decade, several groups have developed several techniques designed to produce surrogate nuclear explosion debris. Due to challenges regarding loss of analytes and contamination caused by high temperature processing approaches, there has been a focus on using sol-gel manufacturing techniques to produce this material due to its inherent advantage of low temperature synthesis. However, a considerable amount of research is necessary to improve this process so that it can effectively support the mission of the nuclear forensics community. This work seeks to increase the understanding of how different processes occurring within sol-gel glass at various stages influence the retention of both stable and radioactive dopants. It will achieve this by focusing on the following efforts:1) Demonstrate the capability of sol-gel glass to encapsulate and retain radionuclides at low temperatures. The limitations of this will also be investigated as a function of annealing temperature
description: 2) Investigate the effect of different catalysts have on the initial capture and retention of fission products.
description: 3) Characterize how the incorporation of metal nitrate salts affects the macro and micro-structure of the glass using FT-IR and SEM-EDX analysis
description: 4) Examine how changes in ionic size and charge influence the effect the dopant has on the structure of the glass.
