description: Passivating Contacts is the next step in reducing recombination effects and improving c-Si solar cell efficiency. This work demonstrates the application of laser structuring and Ni/Cu/Ag electroplating as a new method to metallize solar cells with Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) [1] layers. Critical contact properties such as contact adhesion, contact resistance, contact recombination and optics of the metallization concept are characterized and evaluated for the application as bifacial metallization for TOPCon solar cells. Front and rear side contact TOPCon solar cells with plated Ni/Cu/Ag metallization on the TOPCon layer showed the feasibility of the plating process allowing efficiencies up to 22.7 % with FF = 82.4 % and Voc = 690 mV. The application in a full area rear side metallization design with planar TOPCon surface revealed limitations in contact adhesion (planar surface) and optics (Jsc, poor reflection of Ni). Both limitations can be prevailed by applying a bifacial contact design and implementing textured TOPCon surfaces. It could be demonstrated that the requirements on contact resistance and contact recombination for a locally plated metal contact on TOPCon can be fulfilled by laser structuring and plated Ni/Cu/Ag with average contact resistivity of c = (0.2 ± 0.1) mΩ∙cm² and no noticeable iVoc-loss after laser ablation.
Metastable Black Saturns

description: Black Saturns have multiple horizons and so offer a testing ground for the ideas of black hole thermodynamics. In this note, we numerically scan for phases that are in equilibrium by extremizing total entropy in the 2-dimensional moduli space of stationary, singly rotating black Saturns with fixed total mass and angular momentum. On top of the known T_H=T_R, Omega_H=Omega_R configurations, we find phases that do not balance the temperature and angular velocity of the ring and the hole. But these (and most of the balanced Saturns) go away when we demand that the system is metastable, by imposing that the Hessian of the entropy is negative definite. Metastablity occurs when the dimensionless total angular momentum lies in a narrow window 0.92457

description: The execution of similar units can be compared by their internal behaviors to determine the causes of their potential performance issues. For instance, by examining the internal behaviors of different fast or slow web requests more closely and by clustering and comparing their internal executions, one can determine what causes some requests to run slowly or behave in unexpected ways. In this paper, we propose a method of extracting the internal behavior of web requests as well as introduce a pipeline that detects performance issues in web requests and provides insights into their root causes. First, low-level and fine-grained information regarding each request is gathered by tracing both the user space and the kernel space. Second, further information is extracted and fed into an outlier detector. Finally, these outliers are then clustered by their behavior, and each group is analyzed separately. Experiments revealed that this pipeline is indeed able to detect slow web requests and provide additional insights into their true root causes. Notably, we were able to identify a real PHP cache contention using the proposed approach.

A model for the synchronous machine using frequency response measurements
Creators: name: Bacalao, Nelson Jose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this dissertation a new model for the synchronous machine is presented. This model, based on non-standard test data, allows for the appropriate modelling of the frequency dependent behaviour of the damper windings. The non-standard test data consist of frequency responses, either measured or calculated. The form of these responses will automatically determine the order of the resulting model. Saturation effects in the synchronous machine are also modelled with this new method. The model was successfully tested in both an electromagnetic transients program (EMTP) and in a stability program. It was found that when frequency response measurements are used directly, the model is more accurate than when using the standard data from the manufacturer or data estimated to match approximately the frequency response measurements. It was also ascertained that this model could be used to speed up the solution in a stability program, both by allowing the user to match the order of the model to the required accuracy depending on the event and integration step, and by modifying the input frequency response data to minimize the discretization error made when using large integration steps.

description: We discuss a model for the autocatalytic reaction $A+B\to 2A$ on substrates where the reactants perform a compact exploration of the space, i.e., on lattices whose spectral dimension $\tilde{d}$ is $< 2$. For finite systems, the total time $τ$ for the reaction to end scales according to two different regimes, for high and low concentrations of reactants. The functional dependence of $τ$ on the volume of the substrate and the concentration of reactants is discussed within a mean-field approximation. Possible applications are discussed.

description: While the improvements of STC maximum power point (Pmpp) and current from inserting reflective layers in the inter-cell gap of bifacial modules have been reported, there are many additional factors that contribute to the module outdoor performance in addition to the module STC performance. This paper presents the analysis and optimisation of bifacial PV modules with reflective layer at the inter-cell gap for outdoor performance. Bifacial module with reflective layer was studied where the reflective surfaces are inserted behind the rear glass. Normal glass/glass bifacial modules were compared to the proposed bifacial modules with reflective layers that were fabricated with the same cell type. A numerical model was created to simulate the current gain from each configuration with varying outdoor conditions. The numerical model was verified with an outdoor performance set-up that was experimentally constructed.

description: Today there exists a growing market for biface modules. Compared to conventional modules, in which the solar cells are embedded between glass and a white back sheet, the cells are embedded normally between two glass panes. Due to the transparent backside reflected light can be used to increase energy yield. In order to stand out from the crowd and generate a competitive advantage for the company, various methods are already in use to optimize the energy yield. The aim of the current project is to increase the energy yield by using light guiding structured foils, glued to the back of a bifacial module. This paper first describes the concept of light management and the measurement concept for the study. The main part comprises the construction of one of the two used validation systems. Furthermore, reference measurements and bonding tests are presented.

description: A first wireless PV module prototype is presented. The energy transfer from the solar cells to the string cable is done using the inductive power transfer technology. A half-bridge LLC resonant converter is designed for the DC/AC conversion. The wireless module consists of 60 half-cells and an integrated planar coil. The resonant converter is not yet integrated into the module, but it can be connected externally to the planar coil. The energy is transferred from the primary coil to the secondary planar coil placed outside of the PV module on top of the primary coil. An active rectifier is connected to the secondary coil and it feeds the DC system cable. The first measurements yielded in an efficiency of 88.2 % including the resonant converter, the inductive power transmission and the active rectifier efficiencies. The corresponding output was 207 W.

description: Assessing the performance loss rate (PLR) or degradation rate (DR) of a photovoltaic (PV) facility (module, array of modules, plant…) is of paramount importance for its monitoring and has great impact on its economics. The estimation of the degradation rate is yet difficult because the energy yield is impacted by the environmental variables (mainly solar irradiance denoted G) and energy losses due to other factors like shading or soiling. Comparing directly the output power over the years is then not enough. This work aims at proposing a new data-based approach – the VAR method - which has been successfully benchmarked with RdTools on data simulated with the double-diode model.

description: Based on the concept of complementary media, we propose a novel design which can enhance the electromagnetic wave scattering cross section of an object so that it looks like a scatterer bigger than the scale of the device. Such a ``superscatterer'' is realized by coating a negative refractive material shell on a perfect electrical conductor cylinder. The scattering field is analytically obtained by Mie scattering theory, and confirmed by full-wave simulations numerically. Such a device can be regarded as a cylindrical concave mirror for all angles.

description: Bark and ambrosia beetles and pinhole borers (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) are two subfamilies of weevils that use acoustic communication within plant tissue. These insects transmit and detect sound in a medium that is neither air nor water and they are among the smallest animals with sound-producing organs. Nevertheless, their sound production is sorely understudied, mostly due to the difficulties associated with acoustically monitoring individuals inside plants. We analysed the stridulatory sounds from 55 bark and ambrosia beetle species within 15 subtribes collected in four countries, making this the largest acoustic dataset of these taxa to date. We characterised and compared the amplitude and spectro-temporal parameters of the distress airborne signals produced by the beetles, in conjunction with phenology and life history data. Sound production was present in 33% of the collected species, of which 60% of these sounds had not been previously reported. Depending on species, either both sexes stridulated or only one. Some species had calls with different acoustic morphotypes (one, two, or three notes), and when both sexes stridulated, sounds generally differed. Our data suggest that type of mating system and size play an important role in determining the acoustic communicatory capacity of most species.

description: In this work, the prediction performance of the mechanistic performance model (MPM) and a machine learning Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN), was evaluated using yearly datasets, containing sixty-minute average and instantaneous field measurements obtained from the outdoor test sites in Nicosia, Cyprus and in Arizona, USA, respectively. The model exhibiting the lowest prediction error was derived based on different model training conditions. The obtained results demonstrated that both models provide good predictive quality using both instantaneous and average measurements. The performance of the models was strongly dependent on the duration of the train set, since for a random 70:30 % train and test set split using the yearly dataset from the GI OTF, a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 1.95 % and 1.55 % was obtained for the MPM and FFNN, respectively. Alternatively, for a random 30:30 % train and test set data partition, the MPM and the FFNN achieved a MAPE of 2.03 % and 1.67 %, respectively. Moreover, by applying a medium irradiance condition filter (GI>0.3 kW/m2) to the dataset during a random 70:30 % train and test set approach, the MPM and the FFNN achieved a MAPE of 1.77 % and 1.37 %, respectively, demonstrating that the predictive accuracy of the models was enhanced by data filtering. Additionally, the MPM and the FFNN achieved the lowest MAPE of 2.05 % and 2.11 % when the train set (10 % of the entire dataset) contained 80 % of clear and 20 % of variable and diffuse measurements (same amount of weather type measurements as the amount of the irradiance profile classes of the location). Finally, for accurate predictions a random train and test approach should be utilized, the training process should be performed using the greatest possible amount of train data samples and by simultaneously applying an irradiance condition filter.

description: We study numerically a spreading of an initially localized wave packet in a one-dimensional discrete nonlinear Schrödinger lattice with disorder. We demonstrate that above a certain critical strength of nonlinearity the Anderson localization is destroyed and an unlimited subdiffusive spreading of the field along the lattice occurs. The second moment grows with time $ \propto t^α$, with the exponent $α$ being in the range $0.3 - 0.4$. For small nonlinearities the distribution remains localized in a way similar to the linear case.

description: Aggregated fleets of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) compatible EVs plugged in at longterm parking locations can provide storage services for adjacently located buildings which these parking lots serve. Since both these buildings and the parking spaces themselves can have considerable PV generation, the double use of parked EVs can represent a considerable resource for behind-the-meter storage applications. An airport terminal building is considered with such a parking space covered by a solar array. The operation of the system is simulated to analyse its performance over a year. The results of the analysis reveal that the use of even a small fraction of the available parked vehicles can lead to considerable reduction of the peak electricity demand of the facilities even after the addition of electric vehicle chargepoints. Further, the installation of solar arrays alone at the site of the building is found to reduce the net annual electricity demand of the facility, but has no impact on the total capacity required – onsite storage is needed for that. The use of EVs in V2G mode is found to lead to an overall increase in the energy consumption of the facilities, though this demand can be shifted to off-peak hours.

description: The guest star of AD 1181 is the only historical supernova of the last millennium that is without a definite counterpart. The previously proposed association with supernova remnant 3C58 is in strong doubt because of the inferred age of this remnant. Here we report a new identification of SN 1181 with our codiscovery of the hottest known Wolf Rayet star of the Oxygen sequence (dubbed Parkers star) and its surrounding nebula Pa 30. Our spectroscopy of the nebula shows a fast shock with extreme velocities of approx. 1,100kms. The derived expansion age of the nebula implies an explosive event approx 1,000 years ago which agrees with the 1181 AD event. The on sky location also fits the historical Chinese and Japanese reports of SN 1181 to 3.5degrees. Pa 30 and Parkers star have previously been proposed to be the result of a double-degenerate merger, leading to a rare Type Iax supernova. The likely historical magnitude and the distance suggest the event was subluminous for normal supernova. This agrees with the proposed Type Iax association which would also be the first of its kind in the Galaxy. Taken together, the age, location, event magnitude and duration elevate Pa 30 to prime position as the counterpart of SN 1181. This source is the only Type Iax supernova where detailed studies of the remnant star and nebula are possible. It provides strong observational support for the double degenerate merger scenario for Type Iax supernovae.

description: Poster presented at the 2nd International Agrobiodiversity Congress An Information System for Mexican Agrobiodiversity: Open Data and Tools to Support Agrobiodiversity Conservation. Agrobiodiversity conservation demands multi-sectoral collaboration supported by evidence. In this session, we will share the process of developing an Agrobiodiversity Information System (SIAgroBD) at the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO), a governmental agency that coordinates data collection and analysis in support of the sustainable management of natural resources in Mexico. SIAgroBD aims to generate knowledge that enables the conservation of traditional agriculture and native crops of global importance. It is a comprehensive project at the national level that is part of the Mexican Agrobiodiversity GEF project. Research teams from different universities are collecting new data for SIAgroBD on native crops and their wild relatives in collaboration with local communities. Additionally, we are integrating agronomic data, qualitative assessments of local use of agrobiodiversity, and nutritional data from partner institutions. These data recognize the ecological, human and cultural dimensions of agroecosystems, in contrast with the current trends in big data for agriculture, which focus on conventional breeding and production. The need for recognizing and conserving the diversity of native crops and traditional practices drives the design and development of SIAgroBD. Our information system is intended for a wide audience, from academic researchers to policymakers and the general public. As part of developing SIAgroBD, we are promoting the adoption of digital field data collection tools, vocabulary standards, and open data training. We expect that the lessons we have learned in this project are valuable for practitioners and decision makers seeking examples of knowledge infrastructures centered on agrobiodiversity.

description: The building sector is considered a promising niche for photovoltaic (PV) deployment in general and in particular for the concept of building integrated PV (BIPV). An interesting BIPV application is in high-rise office buildings as facade elements, enabling the exploitation of large surface areas for energy generation in the built environment. This paper investigates the behavior of BIPV modules when integrated in high-rise buildings. The focus is on thermal aspects, including the annual temperature distribution and the equivalent temperature, the latter representing the cumulative effects of thermal degradation. The openIDEAS environment and a validated BIPV model are used to simulate the building thermal conditions and to obtain the BIPV (cell) temperature and power output. Five different locations with diverse climatic conditions are considered: Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Seville (Spain), Naples (FL, USA), Cape Town (South Africa), and Munich (Germany). The results have shown that both temperature distribution and equivalent temperature vary significantly among the locations, with Riyadh and Seville having the highest temperature while Munich and Cape Town the lowest. Furthermore, little difference was observed between equator-oriented and west/east orientations of the BIPV modules for all locations. Finally, wind effects seem to have an important impact on both equivalent temperature as well as energy yield.

Compared three different texturing methods, it was found that the alkaline is the optimal texturing methods, which can achieve the lowest reflection and highest conversion efficiency. Though the MACE methods can greatly ease the color mismatch arise from the different crystal structure in QSC-Si, the rear side recombination is an obstacle for high conversion efficiency. Low etching amount results in poor polishing of rear side of the MACE surface, while high etching amount enlarges the serious recombination effect of small angle grain boundary and wafer breakage. With PERC cell becoming more and more conventional products, alkaline texturing method will become the most widely used texturing method for mass production of QSC-Si.

description: The Syrian Civil War displaced millions. Many Syrians have taken refuge in the surrounding countries of Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon. These host countries made promises to provide education services to Syrian refugees. Yet, the gross enrollment ratios of Syrian refugee children in the three host countries varied significantly between 2013 and 2017. In August 2016, for example, 40.4% or 341,689 of the 845,364 of Syrian refugee children in Turkey, 55.2% or 209,689 of the 379,299 of children in Lebanon, and 82.2% or 191,161 of 232,470 of Syrian refugee children in Jordan were enrolled in formal and non-formal education programs. This dissertation addressed the question of what accounts for these national differences in the gross enrollment ratios of Syrian refugees. I explored four alternative explanations in answering this question. They related to security concerns, economic interests and constraints, elements of the host government’s historical relationship with Syria, and the host government’s relationship with international entities that provide refugee services – namely non-governmental organizations (NGOs). My goal was to identify which factors were the key determinants in explaining the variation in Syrian refugee enrollment rates. I utilized a mixed methods approach in this study. I conducted semi-structured interviews and Q-sort exercises with host government officials, United Nations officials, and NGO representatives within the host countries. I analyzed the results of Q-sort exercises by conducting ANOVA tests and post hoc T-tests with a Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. My findings suggest that the opportunities, strategies and capabilities of the NGOs to overcome obstacles to their provision of refugee education services explain the variance in Syrian refugee enrollment rates. I argue that the higher enrollment rates are also attributable to the relative willingness of a host government to cooperate with NGOs. Furthermore, my findings suggest that there were three key factors that impacted the relationship between the host governments and NGOs: a good prior relationship between the state and NGOs, the NGOs’ financial capacity relative to the state, and the NGOs’ deliberate decision to aid both the domestic population and refugees.

description: Abstract We present a construction of the most general BPS black holes of STU supergravity ($$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 supersymmetric D = 4 supergravity coupled to three vector super-multiplets) with arbitrary asymptotic values of the scalar fields. These solutions are obtained by acting with a subset of the global symmetry generators on STU BPS black holes with zero values of the asymptotic scalars, both in the U-duality and the heterotic frame. The solutions are parameterized by fourteen parameters: four electric and four magnetic charges, and the asymptotic values of the six scalar fields. We also present BPS black hole solutions of a consistently truncated STU supergravity, which are parameterized by two electric and two magnetic charges and two scalar fields. These latter solutions are significantly simplified, and are very suitable for further explicit studies. We also explore a conformal inversion symmetry of the Couch-Torrence type, which maps any member of the fourteen-parameter family of BPS black holes to another member of the family. Furthermore, these solutions are expected to be valuable in the studies of various swampland conjectures in the moduli space of string compactifications.

description: In order to get the maximize yield of photovoltaic (PV) modules, it is important to investigate the effects of partial shadows. In this paper, the relationship between the photocurrent and the shadow area of a solar cell is theoretically investigated. Then, the shadow area and power losses of the PV module at solar cell level are derived. Finally, the shadow area variation of PV module is simulated and analyzed under six different shadow conditions. The results indicate that the shadow area ratio of vertically permanent shadowing is more than 5%, the power losses are not changing. And its losses are not more serious than horizontally permanent shadow; In the same substring, before the inflection point at 2%, the power decreases sharply with the increase of the shadow area, and slowly changes after the inflection point; The losses rate in the horizontal moving shadow are much larger than the vertical moving shadow under the same conditions. Moreover, the big spot shadow leads to great power losses for PV modules.

description: We briefly review and expand our recent analysis for all three invariant A,B,D gravitational form factors of the nucleon in holographic QCD. They compare well to the gluonic gravitational form factors recently measured using lattice QCD simulations. The holographic A-term is fixed by the tensor $T=2^{++}$ (graviton) Regge trajectory, and the D-term by the difference between the tensor $T=2^{++}$ (graviton) and scalar $S=0^{++}$ (dilaton) Regge trajectories. The B-term is null in the absence of a tensor coupling to a Dirac fermion in bulk. A first measurement of the tensor form factor A-term is already accessible using the current GlueX data, and therefore the tensor gluonic mass radius, pressure and shear inside the proton, thanks to holography. The holographic A-term and D-term can be expressed exactly in terms of harmonic numbers. The tensor mass radius from the holographic threshold is found to be $\langle r^2_{GT}\rangle \approx (0.57-0.60\,{\rm fm})^2$, in agreement with $\langle r^2_{GT}\rangle \approx (0.62\,{\rm fm})^2$ as extracted from the overall numerical lattice data, and empirical GlueX data. The scalar mass radius is found to be slightly larger $\langle r^2_{GS}\rangle \approx (0.7\,{\rm fm})^2$.

description: We analyse the constraints on dimension-six Delta F=1 effective operators in models respecting the MFV hypothesis, both in the one-Higgs doublet case and in the two-Higgs doublet scenario with large tan beta. The constraints are derived mainly from the b -> s inclusive observables measured at the B factories. The implications of these bounds in view of improved measurements in exclusive and inclusive observables in b -> s l^+ l^- and s -> d nu nubar transitions are discussed.

description: We present ab initio calculations of the evolution of anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in Ni nanocontacts from the ballistic to the tunnel regime. We find an extraordinary enhancement of AMR, compared to bulk, in two scenarios. In systems without localized states, like chemically pure break junctions, large AMR only occurs if the orbital polarization of the current is large, regardless of the anisotropy of the density of states. In systems that display localized states close to the Fermi energy, like a single electron transistor with ferromagnetic electrodes, large AMR is related to the variation of the Fermi energy as a function of the magnetization direction.

description: The ideal spectral shape of a TPV emitter requires a high emission with a moderate bandwidth at an energy that is slightly above the semiconductor diode bandgap. Long wavelength suppression is also essential to prevent the energy losses due to the transparency of the diode for photons with energy smaller than the semiconductor bandgap. The properly tailored spectral emission enhances the overall efficiency of a typical TPV system. While in recent years there have been many remarkable efforts in far-field TPV using various photonic nanostructures, here we used a simple planar emitter structure using indium tin oxide (ITO) on sapphire, which can achieve the desired emission characteristic as an ideal TPV emitter. In addition, we demonstrate a stainless-steal/quartz micro-combustor that can be used in conjunction with ITO/Sapphire selective emitter. The mixture of 1:1 CH4/H2 fuel in the micro-combustor leads to stable combustion. Additionally, when the exit temperature is larger than 1000 K and the bright incandescent feature appears in the channel surface, we can infer the coexistence of heterogeneous and homogeneous reaction in the reactor. It is noted that catalytically induced flame can be anchored inside the micro channel, and flame luminosities in the micro reactor are apparently bright in equivalence ratio of 1.0 and 0.8.

description: Introduction: India is in the process of a major epidemiological transition towards non-communicable diseases. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in women in India. Predisposing independent risk factors include pregnancy-related conditions, e.g., hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and gestational diabetes (GDM) - also associated with significant perinatal mortality and morbidity. Early identification, referral and management of pregnant women at increased risk of future CVD may offer opportunities for prevention. In rural India, Community Health Workers (CHWs) provide most antenatal and postnatal care. Innovative solutions are required to address integrated care for rural women during transitions between antenatal, postnatal and general health services. The George Institute's SMARThealth Programme has shown that CHWs in rural India screening non-pregnant adults for cardiovascular risk, using a decision support system, is feasible. Building on this, we developed a targeted training programme for CHWs and a complex system-level intervention that uses mobile clinical decision support for CHWs and primary care doctors to screen high-risk pregnant women. In addition to addressing HDP and GDM, the intervention also screens for anaemia in pregnancy. Methods/Design: A pilot study will be undertaken in two diverse rural districts of India: Jhajjar (Haryana) and Guntur (Andhra Pradesh). Two Primary Health Centre clusters will be randomised to intervention or control groups at each study site. The primary objective of this pilot study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the SMARThealth Pregnancy intervention. Secondary objectives are to estimate: (a) prevalence rates of moderate to severe anaemia, HDPs and GDM at the study sites; (b) referral and follow-up rates, and (c) mean haemoglobin and blood pressure values at the routine 6 week postnatal visit. A process evaluation will be conducted to explore the acceptability of the SMARThealth Pregnancy intervention for pregnant women and healthcare workers using qualitative methods. Discussion: It is anticipated that the findings of this pilot study will help determine the feasibility and acceptability of the SMARThealth Pregnancy intervention, and highlight how the intervention might be further developed for evaluation in a larger, cluster randomised controlled trial.
