PV in Architecture and as Building Material

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2857-2861
description: In our paper we present a way to approach and integrate PV in the built historical environment with
respect for the value of cultural heritage. In most municipalities in the Netherlands the appliance of PV is strictly
regulated or even forbidden by the cultural heritage law. Because of the big role for PV on the Wadden Sea Islands,
the Wadden Sea Island municipalities were interested in ways to integrate high-tech aesthetics with a centuries old
environment. We found the main problem for most municipalities is not having the latest and accurate technical
knowledge as well as a thorough and tangible understanding of local cultural heritage, its possibilities and
opportunities and value. Because of this, the appliance of PV in built historical environment is not looked at as a
multidisciplinary design challenge. Our research aims at solutions that use the aesthetics of PV to enhance cultural
heritage, bring back cultural heritage or even add a new identity to the old ones. This way of thinking is presented
through a case study of the village ‘Hollum’ on the island Ameland. The impact on cultural heritage and the technical
information of several possible solutions are described and visualized in this case study. This study shows that it is
possible to integrate new technologies, such as PV, in an aesthetic way in historical built environment.

description: Continuing our previous work on graded twisting of Hopf algebras and monoidal categories, we introduce a graded twisting construction for equivariant comodule algebras and module categories. As an example we study actions of quantum subgroups of $G\subset SL_{-1}(2)$ on $K_{-1}[x,y]$ and show that in most cases the corresponding invariant rings $K_{-1}[x,y]^G$ are invariant rings $K[x,y]^{G'}$ for the action of a classical subgroup $G'\subset SL(2)$. As another example we study Poisson boundaries of graded twisted categories and show that under the assumption of weak amenability they are graded twistings of the Poisson boundaries.

description: The architectural award for building-integrated solar technology granted by the Bavarian Association
for the Promotion of Solar Energy (abbreviated as SeV) in 2014, aims at promoting excellence in planning and
designing of building-integrated solar power systems. This award makes accessible the exemplary solutions in
qualitatively sophisticated architecture to the greater public. However, not only the architectural quality of the
buildings should be considered, the energetic behavior of the building influenced by the building-integrated solar
power systems, should be considered. For a few sample systems the energy system and the energy balance have been
investigated. One large building acts as a power station and generates 260 % of the electric energy consumed inside.
The other buildings generate within one year nearly the electric energy the building needs.

description: The Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) market constitutes a great opportunity for electricity
production in urban areas. As new solar cell technologies with improved performance and morphological properties
emerge in the PV market, BIPV becomes cost-competitive and eye-catching. In this paper, we address
unconventional facade designs and estimate their PV potential. Five different layouts were optimized for the
maximization of annual solar irradiation, showing that tilted louvers may increase the electricity yield in more than
20%, when compared to a flat vertical layout. For a more refined assessment, an analysis accounting for losses due to
high incidence angle of solar rays, mutual shadowing and PV windows on vertical walls, the optimized louvers will
feature stronger tilts and produce around 40% more than the vertical layout. As far as building orientation is
concerned, it is shown that the electricity yield for an East/South/West arrangement is about 25% higher than a
Southeast/Southwest building, with relative independency from building location.

We also propose a conjectural computational procedure for such defects in two dimensional SU(N) topological q-deformed Yang-Mills theory by interpreting it as a statistical mechanical system associated with ideal triangulations.

PV in Architecture and as Building Material

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2886-2891
description: In the context of building and product integration of photovoltaic modules, the topic
of flexible thin film PV modules is much discussed. However, the complexity related to curved
flexible PV systems when illuminated is rarely treated in literature. Due to the curved surface of
these innovative flexible modules, the irradiation on their surface is not homogeneous. Moreover,
novel approaches concerning the wiring of the single cells have to be developed. In this work, we
study an ellipsoid object/product (e.g. lampshade, dome like building) covered with flexible
photovoltaic material.
The irradiance on this geometry is computed using two different approaches, namely a
straightforward geometrical computation and a more complex ray tracing approach using
RADIANCE. The inhomogeneous irradiance distribution, in turn causes an irregular distribution
of current flow within the modules. In this study, we highlighted this effect on an example
ellipsoid structure in terms of power output. We studied three different wiring strategies to
counteract this effect. We use a simplified approach to compute the electrical power output, using
the least illuminated cell as a power-limiting factor without going into detail of the current flow
inside a given cell. This work aims to be a starting point for further investigations into irregularly
shaped buildings or products with the aim to develop a tool that can serve architects and designers
as an indication of the possible PV integration potential and serve engineers to find the optimal
wiring strategy.
Quantum nonergodicity and fermion localization in a system with a single-particle mobility edge

description: We study the many-body localization aspects of single-particle mobility edges in fermionic systems. We investigate incommensurate lattices and random disorder Anderson models. Many-body localization and quantum nonergodic properties are studied by comparing entanglement and thermal entropy, and by calculating the scaling of subsystem particle number fluctuations, respectively. We establish a nonergodic extended phase as a generic intermediate phase (between purely ergodic extended and nonergodic localized phases) for the many-body localization transition of non-interacting fermions where the entanglement entropy manifests a volume law (`extended'), but there are large fluctuations in the subsystem particle numbers (`nonergodic'). We argue such an intermediate phase scenario may continue holding even for the many-body localization in the presence of interactions as well. We find for many-body states in non-interacting 1d Aubry-Andre and 3d Anderson models that the entanglement entropy density and the normalized particle-number fluctuation have discontinuous jumps at the localization transition where the entanglement entropy is sub-thermal but obeys the "volume law". In the vicinity of the localization transition we find that both the entanglement entropy and the particle number fluctuations obey a single parameter scaling. We argue using numerical and theoretical results that such a critical scaling behavior should persist for the interacting many-body localization problem with important consequences. Our work provides persuasive evidence in favor of there being two transitions in many-body systems with single-particle mobility edges, the first one indicating a transition from the purely localized nonergodic many-body localized phase to a nonergodic extended many-body metallic phase, and the second one being a transition eventually to the usual ergodic many-body extended phase.

The case for cases B and C: intrinsic hydrogen line ratios of the broad-line region of active galactic nuclei, reddenings, and accretion disc sizes
Creators: name: Gaskell, C. Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Low-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with extremely blue optical spectral indices are shown to have a mean, velocity-averaged, broad-line H$α$/H$β$ ratio of $\thickapprox 2.72 \pm 0.04$, consistent with a Baker-Menzel Case B value. Comparison of a wide range of properties of the very bluest AGNs with those of a luminosity-matched subset of the Dong et al. blue AGN sample indicates that the only difference is the internal reddening. Ultraviolet fluxes are brighter for the bluest AGNs by an amount consistent with the flat AGN reddening curve of Gaskell et al.(2004). The lack of a significant difference in the GALEX (FUV--NUV) colour index strongly rules out a steep SMC-like reddening curve and also argues against an intrinsically harder spectrum for the bluest AGNs. For very blue AGNs the Ly$α$/H$β$ ratio is also consistent with being the Case B value. The Case B ratios provide strong support for the self-shielded broad-line model of Gaskell, Klimek & Nazarova. It is proposed that the greatly enhanced Ly$α$/H$β$ ratio at very high velocities is a consequence of continuum fluorescence in the Lyman lines (Case C). Reddenings of AGNs mean that the far-UV luminosity is often underestimated by up to an order of magnitude. This is a major factor causing the discrepancies between measured accretion disc sizes and the predictions of simple accretion disc theory. Dust covering fractions for most AGNs are lower than has been estimated. The total mass in lower mass supermassive black holes must be greater than hitherto estimated.

description: Assuming four-quark structure for the $X$ resonances in low-lying region, we calculate their masses using the color-spin interaction. In specific, the hyperfine masses of the color-spin interaction are calculated for the possible states in spin-0, spin-1, spin-2 channels. The two states in spin-0 channel as well as the two states in spin-1 channel are diagonalized in order to generate the physical hyperfine masses. By matching the difference in hyperfine masses with the splitting in corresponding hadron masses and using the $X(3872)$ mass as an input, we estimate the masses corresponding to the states $J^{PC}=0^{++}, 1^{+-},2^{++}$. We find the masses of two states in $1^{+-}$ are close to those of $X(3823)$, $X(3900)$, and the mass of the $2^{++}$ state is close to that of $X(3940)$. For them, the discrepancies are about $\sim 10$ MeV. This may suggest that the quantum numbers of the controversial states are $X(3823)=1^{+-}, X(3900)=1^{+-}, X(3940)=2^{++}$. In this work, we use the same inputs parameters, the constituent quark masses and the strength of the color-spin interaction, that have been adopted in the previous work on the $D$ or $B$-meson excited states. There, it was shown that the four-quark structure can be manifested in their excited states. Thus, our results in this work provide a consistent treatment on open- and hidden-charm mesons as far as the four-quark model is concerned.

description: Bayesian network structure learning is often performed in a Bayesian setting, by evaluating candidate structures using their posterior probabilities for a given data set. Score-based algorithms then use those posterior probabilities as an objective function and return the maximum a posteriori network as the learned model. For discrete Bayesian networks, the canonical choice for a posterior score is the Bayesian Dirichlet equivalent uniform (BDeu) marginal likelihood with a uniform (U) graph prior (Heckerman et al., 1995). Its favourable theoretical properties descend from assuming a uniform prior both on the space of the network structures and on the space of the parameters of the network. In this paper, we revisit the limitations of these assumptions; and we introduce an alternative set of assumptions and the resulting score: the Bayesian Dirichlet sparse (BDs) empirical Bayes marginal likelihood with a marginal uniform (MU) graph prior. We evaluate its performance in an extensive simulation study, showing that MU+BDs is more accurate than U+BDeu both in learning the structure of the network and in predicting new observations, while not being computationally more complex to estimate.

description: These works are dedicated to the development of solar power installations integrated into the outer bearing construction, into the dome structure of a noospheric building and the central part of building that can supply electric power, heating and lighting. Noospheric buildings are as a perspective design concept for well-balanced and comfortable life in terms of energy efficiency, environmental safety, economics, bioenergetics and ergonomics. Noospheric building shape (that of dome or paraboloid) is the optimal in terms of solar system (energy supply system of building) output minimization regarding the form of buildings as the optimization parameter. The Specific design features of such buildings provide large opportunities for implementing solar energy based power systems that make it possible to integrate solar power installations into the building structure providing an extensive variety of solar energy usage options. With this approach a high level of solar systems efficiency can be achieved.
Surprisingly large uncertainties in temperature extraction from thermal fits to hadron yield data at LHC

description: The conventional hadron-resonance gas (HRG) model with the Particle Data Group (PDG) hadron input, full chemical equilibrium, and the hadron type dependent eigenvolume interactions is employed to fit the hadron mid-rapidity yield data of ALICE Collaboration for the most central Pb+Pb collisions. For the case of point-like hadrons the well-known fit result $T = 154 \pm 2$ MeV is reproduced. However, the situation changes if hadrons have different eigenvolumes. In the case when all mesons are point-like while all baryons have an effective hard-core radius of 0.3 fm the $χ^2$ temperature dependence of the $χ^2$ has a broad minimum in the temperature range of $155-210$ MeV, with fit quality comparable to the $T \sim 155$ MeV minimum in the point-particle case. Very similar result is obtained when only baryon-baryon eigenvolume interactions are considered, with eigenvolume parameter taken from previous fit to ground state of nuclear matter. Finally, when we apply the eigenvolume corrections with mass-proportional eigenvolume $v_i \sim m_i$, fixed to particular proton hard-core radius $r_p$, we observe a second minimum in the temperature dependence of the $χ^2$, located at the significantly higher temperatures. For instance, at $r_p = 0.5$ fm the fit quality is better than in the point-particle HRG case in a very wide temperature range of $170-320$ MeV, which gives an uncertainty in the temperature determination from the fit to the data of 150 MeV. These results show that thermal fits to the heavy-ion hadron yield data are very sensitive to the modeling of the short-range repulsion eigenvolume between hadrons, and that chemical freeze-out temperature can be extracted from the LHC hadron yield data only with sizable uncertainty.

description: In this study, we explore the validity of the original Heisenberg position- momentum uncertainty relation for a macroscopic harmonic oscillator interacting with environmental micro particles. Our results show that, in the quasi-classical situation, the original uncertainty relation does not hold when the number of particles in the environment is small. Nonetheless, increasing the environmental degrees of freedom resolves the violation in the region of our investigation.

description: We present an extension of the GENEVA Monte Carlo framework to include multiple parton interactions (MPI) provided by PYTHIA8. This allows us to obtain predictions for underlying-event sensitive measurements in Drell-Yan production, in conjunction with GENEVA's fully-differential NNLO calculation, NNLL' resummation for the 0-jet resolution variable (beam thrust), and NLL resummation for the 1-jet resolution variable. We describe the interface with the parton shower algorithm and MPI model of PYTHIA8, which preserves both the precision of partonic N-jet cross sections in GENEVA as well as the shower accuracy and good description of soft hadronic physics of PYTHIA8. We present results for several underlying-event sensitive observables and compare to data from ATLAS and CMS as well as to standalone PYTHIA8 predictions. This includes a comparison with the recent ATLAS measurement of the beam thrust spectrum, which provides a potential avenue to fully disentangle the physical effects from the primary hard interaction, primary soft radiation, multiple parton interactions, and nonperturbative hadronization.

description: Background: Measurement of C-peptide under standardized conditions provides a sensitive and well-established assessment of β-cell function. We describe the analytical and clinical validation of an automated, microparticle-based chemiluminescent immunoassay method. The assay is designed to measure C-peptide in human serum, plasma and urine. Methods: Assay performance characteristics such as precision and recovery were measured according to protocols established by the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). A reference range study was conducted. Analytical sensitivity and specificity, interfering substances, recovery, and linearity studies were performed. Method comparison, against the ADVIA Centaur C-Peptide assay (Siemens), was evaluated with clinical specimens from patients with abnormal insulin secretion. Results: The detection limit for this assay was 0.01 ng/mL. Functional sensitivity (inter-assay imprecision ≤20%) was 0.015 ng/mL at a coefficient of variation (%CV) of 11.2%. Total imprecision was below 6.5% CV. The assay was linear upon dilution. Comparison with the ADVIA Centaur C-Peptide assay yielded a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.99. Conclusions: The ARCHITECT C-Peptide assay measures C-peptide rapidly, accurately, and precisely in human serum, plasma and urine. It provides useful improvements for β-cell function testing and for evaluating the clinical status of a patient in combination with other diabetes markers. Clin Chem Lab Med 2009;47:834–41.

description: This is the second part of our error analysis of the stabilized Lagrange-Galerkin scheme applied to 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 leads to an efficient computation with a small number of degrees of freedom especially in three space dimensions. In this paper, Part II, we apply a semi-implicit time discretization which yields the linear scheme. We concentrate on the diffusive viscoelastic model, i.e. in the constitutive equation for time evolution of the conformation tensor a diffusive effect is included. Under mild stability conditions we obtain error estimates with the optimal convergence order for the velocity, pressure and conformation tensor in two and three space dimensions. The theoretical convergence orders are confirmed by numerical experiments.

description: The study examined adolescents’ high risk of sexual behaviour in Lagos State Nigeria. . Two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 significant level and they were all rejected. A descriptive inferential survey research design was adopted to carry out the study. Samples of population of two hundred adolescent students were used. A self Constructed Questionnaire named high risk behaviour Questionnaire (HRBQ) was administered to the participants. The data were analysed by using descriptive statistics, chi-square and t-test. The study revealed that adolescents are all involved in high risk sexual behaviour. In that boys are more prone to high risk risk sexual behaviour than the girls. Base on the research findings the study highlighted some counselling implications which include that adolescents to be acquainted with the complications of high risk sexual behaviour and adequate as well as genuine information should be given on the reproductive organs.

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2795-2798
description: This paper presents a toolbox for the design and simulation of energy management strategies for
battery based, building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems. The toolbox uses as inputs the demand power profile
of the building, the normalized photovoltaic (PV) generation for one year, the desired rate of self-consumption, the
battery technology to be used (among lead-acid, lithium-ion, second-hand lithium-ion and vanadium redox flow
battery (VRFB)) and the grid code to comply. Based on this input, the toolbox calculates the photovoltaic power
needed to achieve the self-consumption rate, the battery capacity needed to comply with the applicable grid code and
the size of the manageable load if applicable. The toolbox then tunes the control parameters of the energy
management strategy. Finally, a one-year simulation of the system is run, and an automatic report is generated which
presents a summary of the system together with some merit factors to evaluate the strategy performance. It also
shows the graphs of the power exchanged with the grid before and after the strategy has been applied, the power
delivered by the battery and its state of charge (SOC) over one year.

description: Knowledge of galaxy evolution rests on cross-sectional observations of different objects at different times. Understanding of galaxy evolution rests on longitudinal interpretations of how these data relate to individual objects moving through time. The connection between the two is often assumed to be clear, but we use a simple "physics-free" model to show that it is not, and that exploring its nuances can yield new insights. Comprising nothing more than $2094$ loosely constrained lognormal star formation histories (SFHs), the model faithfully reproduces the following data it was not designed to match: stellar mass functions at $z\leq8$; the slope of the star formation rate/stellar mass relation (the SF "Main Sequence") at $z\leq6$; the mean ${\rm sSFR}(\equiv{\rm SFR}/M_*)$ of low-mass galaxies at $z\leq7$; "fast-" and "slow-track" quenching; downsizing; and a correlation between formation timescale and ${\rm sSFR}(M_*; t)$ similar to results from simulations that provides a natural connection to bulge growth. We take these findings---which suggest that quenching is the natural downturn of all SFHs affecting galaxies at rates/times correlated with their densities---to mean that: (1) models in which galaxies are diversified on Hubble timescales by something like initial conditions rival the dominant grow-and-quench framework as good descriptions of the data; or (2) absent spatial information, many metrics of galaxy evolution are too undiscriminating---if not inherently misleading---to confirm a unique explanation. We outline future tests of our model but stress that, even if ultimately incorrect, it illustrates how exploring different paradigms can aid learning and, we hope, more detailed modeling efforts.

description: We consider continuous-time stochastic optimal control problems featuring Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) in the objective. The major difficulty in these problems arises from time-inconsistency, which prevents us from directly using dynamic programming. To resolve this challenge, we convert to an equivalent bilevel optimization problem in which the inner optimization problem is standard stochastic control. Furthermore, we provide conditions under which the outer objective function is convex and differentiable. We compute the outer objective's value via a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and its gradient via the viscosity solution of a linear parabolic equation, which allows us to perform gradient descent. The significance of this result is that we provide an efficient dynamic programming-based algorithm for optimal control of CVaR without lifting the state-space. To broaden the applicability of the proposed algorithm, we propose convergent approximation schemes in cases where our key assumptions do not hold and characterize relevant suboptimality bounds. In addition, we extend our method to a more general class of risk metrics, which includes mean-variance and median-deviation. We also demonstrate a concrete application to portfolio optimization under CVaR constraints. Our results contribute an efficient framework for solving time-inconsistent CVaR-based sequential optimization.

description: This paper describes the optimized power development including PV and CSP in Saudi Arabia in terms
of LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) as well as its potential influence to the GDP of the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia is
facing a rapid increase in power demand due to increasing population and the economic growth. Domestic
consumption of oil could reach the recent production level in less than 20 years at this rate. As the potential of
increase in oil production is limited, substitution of oil by other sources of energy as well as energy conservation is
critical. To cope with this problem, a simulation model which consists of two modules is proposed in this article in
order to evaluate the proposed target values by the government and to suggest the optimized power supply plan. The
first module is Electricity Simulation Module that aims LCOE minimization of the power system, potentially
consisting of PV, CSP, nuclear and thermal power. The second module is the Macroeconomic Module calculating the
GDP for each scenario in power development. The estimated future I/O table for Saudi Arabia has been extended to
include PV, CSP and nuclear industrial sectors. The influence to the GDP has been compared between the two
scenarios.
The Chiral Anomaly, Dirac and Weyl Semimetals, and Force-Free Magnetic Fields

description: The chiral anomaly is a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon that has a long history dating back to the late 1960s. Surprisingly, it has recently made a macroscopic appearance in condensed matter physics. A brief introduction to the relevant features of this anomaly is given and it is shown that its appearance in condensed matter systems must involve force-free magnetic fields, which may help explain the long current relaxation times in Dirac and Weyl semimetals.

PV as Part of the Energy System

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2784-2788
description: This paper analyzes the energy supply system of the municipality of Bressanone, province of Bolzano,
studying renewable energy sources (RES) high penetration scenarios. Particularly, the benefits from the increase of
photovoltaic installed power and high and low efficiency storage devices were evaluated. Firstly, the reference
scenario was built using energyPLAN, system analysis tool based on energy consumption and production data for the
year 2010. Three different scenarios were then produced and compared, with the reference system, on few
parameters: renewable energy integration, carbon dioxide emissions and economic costs. The results show that an
increase of photovoltaic capacity up to 20 MW (approximately 1 kW/person) produces an improvement of all the
evaluating parameters: increases RES integration, reduces CO2 emissions and slightly decreases annual economic
costs. The threshold of 50 MW of photovoltaic rooftop potential capacity in Bressanone – filtered for insolation level
and historical city center - could be reached with an increase of annual economic costs. In order to further improve
renewable energy integration and CO2 emissions, scenarios with different installed capacity of storage and different
round-trip efficiency were thus investigated.

description: Simplicial complexes are generalized network structures able to encode interactions occurring between more than two nodes. Simplicial complexes describe a large variety of complex interacting systems ranging from brain networks, to social and collaboration networks. Here we characterize the structure of simplicial complexes using their generalized degrees that capture fundamental properties of one, two, three or more linked nodes. Moreover we introduce the configuration model and the canonical ensemble of simplicial complexes, enforcing respectively the sequence of generalized degrees of the nodes and the sequence of the expected generalized degrees of the nodes. We evaluate the entropy of these ensembles, finding the asymptotic expression for the number of simplicial complexes in the configuration model. We provide the algorithms for the construction of simplicial complexes belonging to the configuration model and the canonical ensemble of simplicial complexes. We give an expression for the structural cutoff of simplicial complexes that for simplicial complexes of dimension $d=1$ reduces to the structural cutoff of simple networks. Finally we provide a numerical analysis of the natural correlations emerging in the configuration model of simplicial complexes without structural cutoff.

PV as Part of the Energy System

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2745-2750
description: With increasing population shifts to urban areas and demands for post-war energy efficient renovations
across Europe, solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment in multi-family housing will play an increasingly important role
towards meeting renewable energy, climate, and sustainability goals. This paper describes the stories of three
Swedish residential cooperatives who have installed large-scale PV systems across multiple buildings on their estates.
In all cases, reduced operating costs were the original primary motivator; however unforeseen cost increases, changes
in policy, and excess supply in the electricity market have made economic success less likely than originally
expected. Regardless, the owners consider their projects a success due in part to short term social and long-term
environmental benefits, which were originally less important and difficult to quantify. We can conclude that
community owned PV offers more than just economic benefits, and Sweden’s unique ownership and management
structure of residential cooperatives can offer insights towards increased deployment in other nations in Europe.

PV in Architecture and as Building Material

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2633-2638
description: Whereas the modern architecture trends to an extensive use of glazing elements, buildings are
increasingly required to minimize the external energy demand, cutting down the energy needed and covering the
residual demand using local energy generation solutions. In this context, the integration of optimized Semi-
Transparent Photovoltaic (STPV) elements seems to present a promising energy saving potential, leading to
significant reductions of the heating, cooling and lighting loads while the on-site electricity generation is supplied. In
mild climate areas, building glazings are required to perform as solar control systems with a low solar factor in order
to avoid overheating. However, g-value is frequently unavailable in the data sheet of the STPV elements, making it
difficult to design the optimal building solution. In the present work, an indoor testing facility to analyze the solar
factor of STPV elements has been further developed and validated. The operating principles of the calorimetric
system as well as the experimental data obtained in the validation stage are presented. Results show that the system
accuracy and sensitivity are fully adequate to perform detailed analyses of the solar factor of STPV glazings.
Furthermore, g-value variations with the transparency degree have been analyzed over different electrical operating
points.

description: Scanning gate microscopy measurements in a circular ballistic cavity with a tip placed near its center yield a non-monotonic dependence of the conductance on the tip voltage. Detailed numerical quantum calculations reproduce these conductance oscillations, and a classical scheme leads to its physical understanding. The large-amplitude conductance oscillations are shown to be of classical origin, and well described by the effect of a particular class of short trajectories.

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2639-2641
description: This project concerns the development of a system that is going to be installed at the Scientific-
Technological Campus and will allow a sustainable mobility within the campus and towards the other buildings of the
University of Ferrara. This system will distinguish itself by a wide range of features like the use of new technology
LSC (Luminescent Solar Concentrators) and LCPV (Low Concentration PhotoVoltaic) systems, integrated and
efficient lighting system, WiFi Hotspot, mobile phones and tablet charging plugs that turn it from a mere service
building into a meeting and relax area for the students. The produced energy will be employed to charge two pedalassist
electric bicycles but in future the fleet could be expanded with the addition of electric mopeds and cars.
