description: We present the latest version of Pinocchio, a code that generates catalogues of DM haloes in an approximate but fast way with respect to an N-body simulation. This code version extends the computation of particle and halo displacements up to 3rd-order Lagrangian Perturbation Theory (LPT), in contrast with previous versions that used Zeldovich approximation (ZA). We run Pinocchio on the same initial configuration of a reference N-body simulation, so that the comparison extends to the object-by-object level. We consider haloes at redshifts 0 and 1, using different LPT orders either for halo construction - where displacements are needed to decide particle accretion onto a halo or halo merging - or to compute halo final positions. We compare the clustering properties of Pinocchio haloes with those from the simulation by computing the power spectrum and 2-point correlation function (2PCF) in real and redshift space (monopole and quadrupole), the bispectrum and the phase difference of halo distributions. We find that 2LPT and 3LPT give noticeable improvement. 3LPT provides the best agreement with N-body when it is used to displace haloes, while 2LPT gives better results for constructing haloes. At the highest orders, linear bias is typically recovered at a few per cent level. In Fourier space and using 3LPT for halo displacements, the halo power spectrum is recovered to within 10 per cent up to $k_{max}\sim0.5\ h/$Mpc. The results presented in this paper have interesting implications for the generation of large ensemble of mock surveys aimed at accurately compute covariance matrices for clustering statistics.

description: The bacterium {\em Bacilus subtilis} frequently forms biofilms at the interface between the culture medium and the air. We develop a mathematical model that couples a description of bacteria as individual discrete objects to the standard advection-diffusion equations for the environment. The model takes into account two different bacterial phenotypes. In the motile state, bacteria swim and perform a run-and-tumble motion that is biased toward regions of high oxygen concentration (aerotaxis). In the matrix-producer state they excrete extracellular polymers, which allows them to connect to other bacteria and to form a biofilm. Bacteria are also advected by the fluid, and can trigger bioconvection. Numerical simulations of the model reproduce all the stages of biofilm formation observed in laboratory experiments. Finally, we study the influence of various model parameters on the dynamics and morphology of biofilms.

description: The star HR 8799 hosts one of the largest known debris discs and at least four giant planets. Previous observations have found evidence for a warm belt within the orbits of the planets, a cold planetesimal belt beyond their orbits and a halo of small grains. With the infrared data, it is hard to distinguish the planetesimal belt emission from that of the grains in the halo. With this in mind, the system has been observed with ALMA in band 6 (1.34 mm) using a compact array format. These observations allow the inner edge of the planetesimal belt to be resolved for the first time. A radial distribution of dust grains is fitted to the data using an MCMC method. The disc is best fit by a broad ring between $145^{+12}_{-12}$ AU and $429^{+37}_{-32}$ AU at an inclination of $40^{+5}_{-6}$° and a position angle of $51^{+8}_{-8}$°. A disc edge at ~145 AU is too far out to be explained simply by interactions with planet b, requiring either a more complicated dynamical history or an extra planet beyond the orbit of planet b.

description: Here we investigate a novel nanomoulding technique to transfer desired light trapping textures directly
on zinc oxide, with a view to fabricate front contacts for tandem micromorph (amorphous/microcrystalline) silicon
solar cells with improved transparency-conductivity trade off. Front contacts with equivalent light scattering
capabilities but different transparency and conductivity were fabricated by moulding the same texture on zinc oxide
layers with different thicknesses and boron doping levels. We show that is possible to increase in more than 1
mA/cm2 the current of the bottom cell by only decreasing free carrier absorption at the front and we demonstrate that
initial efficiencies of 12.6% are possible on nanomoulded zinc oxide front contacts. Furthermore, we present some
results in extending the nanomoulding process to transfer finished devices from their original substrate to another. Up
to now, we have already been successful in transferring amorphous silicon solar cells deposited on plastic foils to
more rigid substrates, achieving 7.6% device efficiency for the best case.

description: The interface properties of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells have a large influence on the solar
cell performance, especially that of the p/i interface. For highly efficient a-Si:H solar cells, a good p/i interface region
with low defect density is necessary. In this contribution we report the influence of H2-plasma exposure of the
intrinsic layer near the p/i interface on the solar-cell performance. During processing of n-i-p a-Si:H solar cells with
PECVD, we exposed the i-layer to a H2-plasma before p-type a-SiC:H deposition. With this treatment, the Voc and FF
increased significantly, as well as the external quantum efficiency in the wavelength range from 300 nm to 600 nm.
The initial efficiency increases from 6.3% (without H2-plasma treatment) to 8.4% (with H2-plasma treatment for 450
s). We think that this performance enhancement can be explained by a reduction of the defect density in the i-layer
near the p/i interface following H2-plasma exposure. Additionally, the exposed subsurface layer has a higher mobility
band gap, which can act as graded buffer layer to suppress the band offset between the intrinsic a-Si:H layer and ptype
a-SiC:H layer. This band gap increase is confirmed by activation energy measurements.

description: Light management techniques are crucial for improving the conversion efficiency of thin-film silicon
solar cells and PV modules. In this respect, light scattering at textured interfaces is important for increasing the
photocurrent by prolonging the effective optical paths of the light passing through the device. In this paper, numerical
simulations are employed to study the light-trapping potential of large micro-scale surface textures applied on top of
the front protective glass sheets in thin-film a-Si:H PV modules. The simulations are based on the newly developed
optical model which combines incoherent geometric optics analysis and fully-coherent wave optics analysis. Using
the simulations, we investigate the potential of different surface-texture morphologies of the front glass (triangular,
U-like, inverted U-like) with different dimensions of texture features (period and peak-to-peak height) in order to
determine the optimal textures that result in maximal short-circuit current densities. Simulation results indicate that
optimized front micro-scale surface textures of thin-film a-Si:H PV modules significantly improve light trapping
within the underlying solar cell. Optimized U-like textures are especially advantageous, as they are able to assure
consistently low reflectance from the PV module in both perpendicular as well as oblique illumination conditions.

description: A thermally evaporated molybdenum oxide (MoO3) film was used as a window layer of a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cell instead of the conventional p-type hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (p-a-SiC:H) film. The short circuit current density (JSC) and quantum efficiency (QE) in the short wavelength region were increased due to the wide optical band gap property of the MoO3 film. We also have fabricated a tandem solar cell
using a top cell with a MoO3 window layer. The optimized thickness of the top cell is lower than that of a typical conventional top cell for current matching due to highly improved quantum efficiency in the short wavelength region. Consequentially, a metal oxide film such as MoO3 is a promising candidate for a window layer of a-Si:H-based thinfilm solar cell due to its wide optical band gap.

description: A detailed Raman spectroscopic study of the amorphous-to-microcrystalline phase transition in a-Si:H
films on glass substrates is presented. In order to induce crystallization of the films a continuous wave CO2-laser
working at 10.6 μm was utilized at constant irradiation time/variable power density and at constant power density
/variable irradiation time. The analysis of the Raman spectra made it possible to follow quantitatively the induced
crystallization. The crystallite size distribution and the film stress are estimated directly from spectroscopic data after
a fitting procedure of the experimental data. The Raman line shapes are evaluated in view of the effect of the finite
nanocrystal size on the phonons by investigating the CO2-laser induced shift of the c-Si peak. The results are
discussed in the context of recent experimental and theoretical works concerning the bond polarizability.

description: Thin film solar modules on glass lose usually about 8% of the irradiation due to reflections at boundary surfaces air-glass and
glass-TCO (Transparent conductive oxide). This loss leads to a significant decreasing of the short-circuit current of the
device. The experiments demonstrate that this decreasing can be clearly reduced by a simple layer stack. After simulation we
produced antireflective layer stacks in large scale (Gen 5) by PVD as well as PECVD. These antireflective layer stacks are a
promising alternative to antireflective foils or rough surfaces because they allow a flexible adjustment of the optical
behaviour by low process costs. The theoretical data have been confirmed by IV- and EQE-measurements of a-Si:H/μc-Si:H
tandem solar cells.

description: High efficiency single and Micromorph® tandem thin film solar cells based on hydrogenated amorphous
silicon (a-Si:H) require excellent material quality. This can be achieved through a careful optimisation of the a-Si:H
single layer properties leading to a reduction of the light induced degradation, which is a characteristic of the solar cells
based on a-Si:H. This paper reports on the correlations we have found between the infrared single layer properties of
various a-Si:H absorber and a-SiC:H buffer layers, such as microstructure factor and the corresponding solar cell
performance. The stabilised module power and the relative power degradation of a-Si single junction solar modules show
very good correlations with the microstructure factor measured by FTIR on single layers. The optimisation of solar cells
based on this method has allowed for very high efficiencies of industrial a-Si single junction and Micromorph tandem
thin film solar modules.

with i-layer thickness optimization at Maximum-Power-Point(MPP) using simulation and scripting. A performance of
triple-junction(a-Si/a-SiGe/μc-Si) silicon solar cell has been analyzed with various i-layer thicknesses of sub-cells.
The use of existing models developed for single-junction solar cell, are extended for multi-junction solar cell. In
modeling of multi-junction cell, a common model for top and middle sub-cell and another model for bottom sub-cell
are used. The cell is modeled on MATLAB® platform. The primary objective of this work is to obtain the optimized
sub-cell thicknesses operating at or near MPP. To estimate the optical performance improvement in cell performance
and reduction in light induced degradation effect in top a-Si sub-cell, an intermediate reflector layer(40 nm) is
incorporated between top a-Si sub-cell and middle a-SiGe sub-cell. The sub-cell’s current expressions are solved
using numerical technique. The optimized thicknesses are obtained for top a-Si i-layer with and without ZnO
Intermediate Reflector(ZIR) layer at MPP are 120 nm and 140 nm respectively. The Pmpp has improved from
11.51mW/cm2 to 11.63mW/cm2 and FF from 72% to 77% for without and with ZIR layer insertion respectively.

matching. Combining these data with e.g. the 2nd harmonic response, i.e. the local non-linear interaction of the shortcircuit
photocurrents generated by both lasers, additional local properties like the diode characteristics (leakage currents) of both sub-cells, or local series resistances can be analyzed. Several examples for the identification of local defects by combining CELLO maps will be discussed.

description: In the present study, we introduce a method for preparing textured zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films by
hydrogen associated magnetron sputtering. The improved surface morphology and structure characteristic indicate
that hydrogen could efficiently mediate the crystal orientation by playing an important role in influencing the surface
diffusion and sticking processes. This textured surface morphology leads to a high haze factor which provides
effective light trapping efficiency. In addition, the electrical properties of ZnO films are also enhanced with high
carrier concentration and mobility. Layers with comparable electrical (sheet resistance < 5 Ω/sq), optical (average
total transmittance > 80% from 400nm to 1100 nm) and morphological (RMS > 50 nm) properties to Asahi U-type
fluorine doped tin dioxide (FTO) have been obtained. Preliminary microcrystalline silicon solar cells deposited on
self-textured ZnO show 13.2% enhancement in short-circuit current density.

description: Increase in the Balmer continuum radiation during solar flares was predicted by various authors but never firmly confirmed observationally using ground-based slit spectrographs. Here we describe a new post-focal instrument - Image Selector - enabling to measure the Balmer continuum flux from the whole flare area, in analogy of successful detections of flaring dMe stars. The system was developed and put into operation at the horizontal solar telescope HSFA-2 of the Ondřejov Observatory. We measure the total flux by a fast spectrometer from a limited but well defined region on the solar disk. Using a system of diaphragms, the disturbing contribution of a bright solar disk can be eliminated as much as possible. Light curves of the measured flux in the spectral range 350 - 440 nm are processed, together with the Hα images of the flaring area delimited by the appropriate diaphragm. The spectral flux data are flat-fielded, calibrated and processed to be compared with model predictions. Our analysis of the data proves that the described device is sufficiently sensitive to detect variations in the Balmer continuum during solar flares. Assuming that the Balmer-continuum kernels have at least a similar size as those visible in Hα, we find the flux increase in the Balmer continuum to reach 230 % - 550 % of the quiet continuum during the observed X-class flare. We also found temporal changes in the Balmer continuum flux starting well before the onset of the flare in Hα.

description: Molecular simulations can provide microscopic insight into the physical and chemical driving forces of complex molecular processes. Despite continued advancement of simulation methodology, model errors may lead to inconsistencies between simulated and reference (e.g., from experiments or higher-level simulations) observables. To bound the microscopic information generated by computer simulations within reference measurements, we propose a method that reweights the microscopic transitions of the system to improve consistency with a set of coarse kinetic observables. The method employs the well-developed Markov state modeling framework to efficiently link microscopic dynamics with long-time scale constraints, thereby consistently addressing a wide range of time scales. To emphasize the robustness of the method, we consider two distinct coarse-grained models with significant kinetic inconsistencies. When applied to the simulated conformational dynamics of small peptides, the reweighting procedure systematically improves the time scale separation of the slowest processes. Additionally, constraining the forward and backward rates between metastable states leads to slight improvement of their relative stabilities and, thus, refined equilibrium properties of the resulting model. Finally, we find that difficulties in simultaneously describing both the simulated data and the provided constraints can help identify specific limitations of the underlying simulation approach.

description: One of the striking features of general relativity is that the Einstein equation is implied by the Clausius relation imposed on a small patch of locally constructed causal horizon. Extension of this thermodynamic derivation of the field equation to more general theories of gravity has been attempted many times in the last two decades. In particular, equations of motion for minimally coupled higher curvature theories of gravity, but without the derivatives of curvature, have previously been derived using a thermodynamic reasoning. In that derivation the horizon slices were endowed with an entropy density whose form resembles that of the Noether charge for diffeomorphisms, and was dubbed the Noetheresque entropy. In this paper, we propose a new entropy density, closely related to the Noetheresque form, such that the field equation of any diffeomorphism invariant metric theory of gravity can be derived by imposing the Clausius relation on a small patch of local causal horizon.

description: To increase the performance of thin-film solar cells, solar spectrum splitting technique has been
considered and studied. It was found from the simulation that the total efficiency of nearly 25% can be obtained at the
splitting wavelength of 600 nm using top cell with higher band gap material. The experiment has been carried out to
verify the simulation results. Up to now the total efficiency of about 17.9 % has been obtained using a-Si:H and Cu(In1-
x,Gax)Se2 as the top and bottom cells, respectively, at the splitting wavelength of 614 nm. Then after optimization we
obtained an advanced conversion efficiency of up to 21.8% which is close to the simulation results. This result shows that
our developed splitting technique is a promising technique for high-performance thin-film solar cell.

Crotalaria grandiflora

description: Crotalaria grandiflora Bentham (1839: 429).
 Crotalaria acutiflora var. grandiflora (Benth.) Bentham (1859: 23).
 Type:— BRAZIL. “Near Cercado”, s.d., J. B. E. Pohl 1124 (holotype W 0052805!).
 Crotalaria divaricata Bentham (1839: 429), syn. nov.
 Type:— BRAZIL. “Rio Reazon”, s.d., J. B. E. Pohl s.n. (holotype K000500583!; isotypes FV0077377!, NY00006683!).
 Crotalaria acutiflora Bentham (1843: 482).
 Lectotype (designated here):— BRAZIL. “Chapada Santa Cruz”, 1836, J. B. E. Pohl s.n. (K000500593!).
Lectotype image: http://specimens.kew.org/herbarium/ K000500593.
 In the protologue of Crotalaria acutiflora, Bentham (1843) mentioned material collected by Pohl and Vauthier in Brazil as “ C. breviflora, Benth. in Herb. Mus. Vind. MS. non DC.”. While the material of Vauthier could not be found, the Pohl material in K and W was analyzed. Windler assigned the material W0052804 as lectotype of C. acutiflora. We disagree with this choice, however, as this material comprises two specimens mounted on one sheet, stating three collection numbers (“2898, 1125 and 1123”), and three locations (“ Chapada S. Cruz, Megaponte & S. Luzia ”). This makes the mutual assignment of specimens, collection numbers, and locations impossible. On the other hand, the material in the K herbarium (K000500593) is unambiguous by stating only one location and collection number. In addition, it carries Bentham’s handwriting and, in agreement with the protologue, was labeled “ C. breviflora Herb. Mus. Vin. ”. Thus, we hereby designate this material as lectotype.
 Windler & Skinner (1982) considered Crotalaria acutiflora and C. grandiflora as a single taxon, while Bentham (1859) had treated C. grandiflora as a variety of C. acutiflora, and considered C. divaricata as a distinct species. His distinction was based on vegetative pubescence, being sericeous in C. acutiflora and tomentose in C. divaricata. Studying the type material led us to the conclusion that the different types of pubescence are not sufficiently distinguishable to segregate two different taxa. We therefore synonymize C. divaricata under C. grandiflora.

description: Al2O3 anti-reflection layer (ARL) was proposed at glass/transparent conducting oxide (TCO) in order
to decrease optical reflection and increase optical absorption in silicon (Si) thin film solar cells. Optical simulation
results showed that Al2O3 thin film inserted at the glass/TCO interface can decrease the reflectance of
microcrystalline (μc-Si:H) thin film solar cells. The reflectance was minimized by employing the Al2O3 ARL with a
thickness of ~ 40 nm. The refractive index of sputter-deposited Al2O3 thin film was about 1.69 at a wavelength of 550
nm, which was very close to the theoretical optimum value of about 1.67 for minimizing the optical reflectance. The
reflectance of fabricated μc-Si:H solar cells was decreased with the Al2O3 ARL in the overall wavelength regions. In
addition, quantum efficiency was improved in the solar cells with the Al2O3 ARL. The Jsc was increased from 22.7 to
23.5 mA/cm2 without sacrificing Voc or FF. The efficient light trapping effect of the Al2O3 ARL was experimentally
demonstrated in our experiment.

efficiency of thin-film solar cells. Nevertheless the effects of different experimental parameters are not yet fully
understood. In this study, we used ray-tracing technique to simulate the light scattering of a surface-textured

description: Abdus Salam was a true master of 20th Century Theoretical Physics. Not only was he a pioneer of the Standard Model (for which he shared the Nobel Prize with S. Glashow and S.Weinberg), but he also (co)authored many other outstanding contributions to the field of Fundamental Interactions and their unification. In particular, he was a major contributor to the development of supersymmetric theories, where he also coined the word "Supersymmetry" (replacing the earlier "Supergauges" drawn from String Theory). He also introduced the basic concept of "Superspace" and the notion of "Goldstone Fermion"(Goldstino). These concepts proved instrumental for the exploration of the ultraviolet properties and for the study of spontaneously broken phases of super Yang-Mills theories and Supergravity. They continue to play a key role in current developments in Early-Universe Cosmology. In this contribution we review models of inflation based on Supergravity with spontaneously broken local supersymmetry, with emphasis on the role of nilpotent superfields to describe a de Sitter phase of our Universe.

description: We experimentally demonstrate the coherent control, i.e., phase-dependent enhancement and suppression, of the optical absorption in an array of metallic nanoantennas covered by a thin lu- minescent layer. The coherent control is achieved by using two collinear, counter-propagating and phase-controlled incident waves with wavelength matching the absorption spectrum of dye molecules coupled to the array. Symmetry arguments shed light on the relation between the relative phase of the incident waves and the excitation efficiency of the optical resonances of the system. This coherent control is associated with a phase-dependent distribution of the electromagnetic near-fields in the structure which enables a significant reduction of the unwanted dissipation in the metallic structures.

description: In this study, the transmission enhancement at short wavelengths (350-480nm) of ZnO:Al layers by
post deposition thermal treatment and the resulting improvement in quantum efficiency for a-Si:H thin film solar cells
are demonstrated. ZnO:Al layers prepared by DC magnetron sputtering could significantly increase in transparency
by a post deposition annealing step of 1h at ≥300°C in N2 atmosphere. Additionally, the specific resistance is reduced
for annealing temperatures between 300°C and 500°C. Hall measurements indicate an improved mobility for
annealing temperatures ≥400°C. The a-Si:H thin film solar cells deposited on annealed ZnO:Al layers clearly show
higher quantum efficiencies in the blue spectral range than reference cells. For a-Si:H cells on a ZnO:Al film
annealed at 400°C and 450°C, the short circuit current density is increased by approximately 0.5 mA/cm2 compared
to reference cells.

description: Giant impacts refer to collisions between two objects each of which is massive enough to be considered at least a planetary embryo. The putative collision suffered by the proto-Earth that created the Moon is a prime example, though most Solar System bodies bear signatures of such collisions. Current planet formation models predict that an epoch of giant impacts may be inevitable, and observations of debris around other stars are providing mounting evidence that giant impacts feature in the evolution of many planetary systems. This chapter reviews giant impacts, focussing on what we can learn about planet formation by studying debris around other stars. Giant impact debris evolves through mutual collisions and dynamical interactions with planets. General aspects of this evolution are outlined, noting the importance of the collision-point geometry. The detectability of the debris is discussed using the example of the Moon-forming impact. Such debris could be detectable around another star up to 10Myr post-impact, but model uncertainties could reduce detectability to a few 100yr window. Nevertheless the 3% of young stars with debris at levels expected during terrestrial planet formation provide valuable constraints on formation models; implications for super-Earth formation are also discussed. Variability recently observed in some bright disks promises to illuminate the evolution during the earliest phases when vapour condensates may be optically thick and acutely affected by the collision-point geometry. The outer reaches of planetary systems may also exhibit signatures of giant impacts, such as the clumpy debris structures seen around some stars.

description: Atomic diffusion in ZnO layers produced by CVD was studied by quantitative depth profile analyses
performed by a Secondary Neutral Mass Spectrometer (SNMS). This sputter-based method is a suitable technique to
measure the chemical composition of TCO layers and solar cell structures as a function of depth. The depth profile
measurements reveal that the oxygen content of the ZnO layer is not a homogeneous one. The oxygen concentration
is higher near the film surface than near the substrate. This phenomenon seems to be an inherent property of the CVD
technology. The oxygen distribution can be alter by annealing the sample in air due to the diffusion of the excess
oxygen out of the film. The Na diffusion from the glass substrate through the ZnO layer was also studied by SNMS
depth profile analysis. We could show that Na from the substrate can migrate into the diode layer through the ZnO.
