description: It has recently been demonstrated that Feynman integrals relevant to a wide range of perturbative quantum field theories involve periods of Calabi-Yaus of arbitrarily large dimension. While the number of Calabi-Yau manifolds of dimension three or higher is considerable (if not infinite), those relevant to most known examples come from a very simple class: degree-$2k$ hypersurfaces in $k$-dimensional weighted projective space $\mathbb{WP}^{1,\ldots,1,k}$. In this work, we describe some of the basic properties of these spaces and identify additional examples of Feynman integrals that give rise to hypersurfaces of this type. Details of these examples at three and four loops are included as ancillary files to this work.

description: III-V compound multi-junction solar cells have great potential for space and terrestrial applications
because they have high efficiency potential of more than 50% and superior radiation-resistance. Recently, more than 40%
efficiency cells were reported by Fraunhofer ISE and Spectrolab. Concentrator 4-junction or 5-junction solar cells have
great potential for realizing super high-efficiency of over 50%. We have been studying concentrator multi-junction solar
cells under Japanese Innovative Photovoltaic R&D program since FY2008. This paper presents our new achievements in
super high-efficiency multi-junction and concentrator solar cells

description: Purpose: Young people with developmental language disorder (DLD) have poorer mental health than those without DLD. However, not all young people with DLD are equally affected; some have more mental health difficulties than others. What explains these differences remains unclear. Method: Data from a community cohort study, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, were analyzed to investigate genetic and environmental influences on the development of mental health difficulties at five time points from childhood (7 years) to adolescence (16 years) in 6,387 young people (8.7% with DLD). Regression and latent class models were fitted to the data. Results: Polygenic scores (PGSs), indices of genetic risk, for common psychiatric disorders (major depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) predicted mental health difficulties in both groups (with and without DLD). The presence of DLD, in some instances, amplified mental health difficulties for those with high genetic risk for common psychiatric disorders. Subgroups of children with similar developmental trajectories of mental health difficulties were identified. Young people with DLD were more likely than those without DLD to follow mental health subgroups characterized by consistently high levels of difficulties during development. PGSs, socioeconomic status, and the early home environment distinguished subgroups with low mental health difficulties from those characterized by high levels of difficulties, but these effects did not differ based on DLD status. Conclusions: These findings suggest that, for the most part, both genetic and environmental risk affect the development of mental health difficulties in a cumulative way for young people with DLD (and those without). Some analysis did, however, suggest that genetic risk for common psychiatric disorders might manifest more strongly in those with DLD compared with those without DLD. Supplemental Material S1.

description: Controlling magnetism with electric fields is a key challenge to develop future energy-efficient devices, however, the switching between inversion symmetric states, e.g. magnetization up and down as used in current technology, is not straightforward, since the electric field does not break time-reversal symmetry. Here, we demonstrate that local electric fields can be used to reversibly switch between a magnetic skyrmion and the ferromagnetic state. These two states are topologically inequivalent, and we find that the direction of an electric field directly determines the final state. This observation establishes the possibility to combine energy-efficient electric field writing with the recently envisaged skyrmion racetrack-type memories.

description: The durability of thin film photovoltaic (PV) modules is a critical issue that affects the overall lifetime
output of the modules and the economic viability of this technology. Early failure of thin film PV modules
can result from various mechanisms. For example, when transparent conductive oxide (TCO) coated glass is
used for thin film silicon modules, the TCO coating may delaminate from the glass under certain environmental
conditions. Since this type of failure may not be apparent for years after the modules have been produced and
installed, component suppliers and PV manufacturers need a rapid method to evaluate and ensure TCO/glass
adhesion. The electrochemical delamination (ECDL) test was developed as an accelerated test method to evaluate
the propensity of the TCO coating to delaminate from the glass substrate in deployed thin film PV modules.
However, ECDL test results are very sensitive to the test conditions; therefore the reliability of the test becomes a
major concern. In this paper, we discuss how a minor change in test conditions can affect the test results. In
particular, we show the importance of the temperature control during the test. By analyzing delaminated
coatings, we also explore the mechanisms of coating delamination. Our observations also demonstrate the
urgency to standardize the test instrument so that a common base can be setup to evaluate the adhesion of TCO
coatings.

description: It is widely expected that NMHV amplitudes in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory require symbol letters that are not rationally expressible in terms of momentum-twistor (or cluster) variables starting at two loops for eight particles. Recent advances in loop integration technology have made this an `experimentally testable' hypothesis: compute the amplitude at some kinematic point, and see if algebraic symbol letters arise. We demonstrate the feasibility of such a test by directly integrating the most difficult of the two-loop topologies required. This integral, together with its rotated image, suffices to determine the simplest NMHV component amplitude: the unique component finite at this order. Although each of these integrals involve algebraic symbol alphabets, the combination contributing to this amplitude is---surprisingly---rational. We describe the steps involved in this analysis, which requires several novel tricks of loop integration and also a considerable degree of algebraic number theory. We find dramatic and unusual simplifications, in which the two symbols initially expressed as almost ten million terms in over two thousand letters combine in a form that can be written in five thousand terms and twenty-five letters.

description: ABSTRACT Context - Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by short stature, hypoparathyroidism and electrolyte disturbances. KCS1 and KCS2 are caused by pathogenic variants in TBCE and FAM111A, respectively. Clinically the phenotypes are difficult to distinguish. Objective - The objective was to determine and expand the phenotypic spectrum of KCS1 and KCS2 in order to anticipate on complications that may arise in these disorders. Design - We clinically and genetically analyzed ten KCS2 patients from seven families. Because we found unusual phenotypes in our cohort, we performed a systematic review of genetically confirmed KCS cases using PubMed and Scopus. Evaluation by three researchers led to the inclusion of 26 papers for KCS1 and 16 for KCS2, totaling 205 patients. Data were extracted following the Cochrane guidelines and assessed by two independent researchers. Results - Several patients in our KCS2 cohort presented with intellectual disability (3/10) and chronic kidney disease (6/10), which are not considered common findings in KCS2. Systematic review of all reported KCS cases showed that the phenotypes of KCS1 and KCS2 overlap for postnatal growth retardation (KCS1: 52/52, KCS2: 23/23), low PTH levels (121/121, 16/20), electrolyte disturbances (139/139, 24/27), dental abnormalities (47/50, 15/16), ocular abnormalities (57/60, 22/23) and seizures/spasms (103/115, 13/16). Symptoms more prevalent in KCS1 included intellectual disability (74/80, 5/24), whereas in KCS2 bone cortical thickening (1/18, 16/20) and medullary stenosis (7/46, 27/28) were more common. Conclusions - Our case series established chronic kidney disease as a new feature of KCS2. In literature, we found substantial overlap in the phenotypic spectra of KCS1 and KCS2, but identified intellectual disability and the abnormal bone phenotype as the most distinguishing features.

description: This paper deals with the evaluation of physical methods for the determination of the degree of crosslinking
of ethylene vinylacetate (EVA) grades for embedding of photovoltaic (PV) cells. Various embedding films
(Standard-Cure and Fast-Cure grades) were investigated. To obtain different degrees of cross-linking the lamination
time was varied systematically. The EVA-films were characterized under systematic variation of measurement
parameters by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) and tensile testing.
The thermoanalytical investigations (DSC) under nitrogen atmosphere revealed a clear correlation between postcross-
linking enthalpy and lamination time. In contrast, no consistent trends were obtained in ambient air atmosphere.
With regards to DMA the shear mode was much more sensitive compared to the tensile mode. As relevant values for
the degree of cross-linking the maximum of the loss factor and the shear modulus in the melting regime were
evaluated. The tensile tests at room temperature exhibited significant lamination time dependent differences in the
stress-strain behaviour at high displacement levels. With regards to quality assurance testing and in-line process
control of EVA DSC under nitrogen atmosphere and DMA in shear mode are of utmost relevance.

description: Alkaline anisotropic etching with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and the additive 2-propanol (IPA) is a widely used step to texture monocrystalline silicon wafers industrially in order to reduce their reflection. Using IPA as an additive to KOH (aq) a texturing time of at least 20 min is required in order to remove the saw damage and to receive a texture with complete random pyramid coverage. A shorter texturing time, i.e. fast etching, would allow an increasing capacity of the etching plant and offers the possibility to use inline systems for anisotropic etching of monocrystalline silicon wafers. This study shows that the patent pending texturing process using KOH (aq) and 1,4 cyclohexanediol (CHX) fulfils these requirements and results in an appropriate surface texture within 10 min. The analytic of CHX is given. Additionally, when CHX is used overall chemistry consumption is lowered due to the higher boiling temperature of the additive; hence no redosing of CHX is necessary. Further this study aims to simulate a long-term alkaline batch process with rising silicon content in the solution.

description: The surface recombination of light-boron diffused (~ 200 /sq) and oxide-passivated n-type silicon
was found to increase at room temperature for samples that did and did not receive a forming-gas anneal. This
increasing recombination is manifested as a 45 fold increase in J0e for the boron-diffused silicon and a doubling of Seff
for un-difffused silicon, taking 120 days to saturate at room temperature. Phosphorus-diffused oxide-passivated
silicon does not degrade at room temperature over the same time period. PC-1D modelling shows the degradation is
consistent with a defect formed at the Si-SiO2 interface, independent of surface doping, where the defect has much
larger capture-cross section area for electrons rather than holes, where the fully degraded interfaces imply the
recombination is dominated by a defect with a N/P ratio greater than 100. The formation of this defect is possibly
related to oxygen in the storage ambient.

description: After the successful implementation of a record performing dual-junction solar cell at ultra high
concentration, in this paper we present the optimization of key aspects in the transition to a triple-junction device,
namely the heteronucleation of III-V structures onto germanium substrates. This optimization is based on in-situ
RAS measurements during the MOVPE growth of the triple-junction solar cell structure and subsequent AFM
analysis. The correlation between RAS and AFM allows detecting which RAS features correlate with good
morphology and low RMS roughness. TEM analysis confirms that the quality of the triple-junction structures grown
is good, revealing no trace of antiphase disorder, and showing flat, sharp and clear interfaces. Triple-junction solar
cells manufactured on these structures have shown a peak efficiency of 36.2% at 700X, maintaining an efficiency
over 35% from 300 to 1200 suns.

interconnection technologies. In this paper the result of experiments to investigate the long term stability of a lead
free Sn95.5Ag4Cu0.5 solder alloy and two isotropic conductive adhesives are presented. Samples were subjected to
accelerated aging consisting of high temperature storage at 150 °C and temperature cycles between -30 and 125 °C.
The samples were characterised after various aging steps by x-ray imaging, scanning electron microscope and energy
dispersive x-ray. The experiments showed a degradation of the soldered samples through the formation of cracks in
the joint. Also a growth of brittle intermetallic phases was determined which can promote the generation of cracks.
One of the tested adhesives shows a positive post curing and no degradation after aging. The second adhesive shows
some cracks after the hard tests.

description: This paper is focused on some specific problems relayed with application of high sheet resistance emitters in industrial solar cells and modules. The behaviour of such emitters is studied from the phosphorous diffusion step up to the encapsulated cells with different surface treatments. For the emitter formation the LYDOP technique was used. Two ways leading to increase of emitter sheet resistance were tested: reduced diffusion temperature and shorted diffusion time. The obtained emitter profiles were analysed using SIMS technique. Both types of emitters were tested at cell level. The impact of encapsulation was studied for high and low resistivity emitter cells. The greater current increase due to encapsulation was observed for low resistivity emitters.

description: Purpose: Item response theory (IRT) is a modern psychometric framework with several advantageous properties as compared with classical test theory. IRT has been successfully used to model performance on anomia tests in individuals with aphasia; however, all efforts to date have focused on noun production accuracy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Verb Naming Test (VNT), a prominent test of action naming, can be successfully modeled under IRT and evaluate its reliability. Method: We used responses on the VNT from 107 individuals with chronic aphasia from AphasiaBank. Unidimensionality and local independence, two assumptions prerequisite to IRT modeling, were evaluated using factor analysis and Yen’s Q3 statistic (Yen, 1984), respectively. The assumption of equal discrimination among test items was evaluated statistically via nested model comparisons and practically by using correlations of resulting IRT-derived scores. Finally, internal consistency, marginal and empirical reliability, and conditional reliability were evaluated. Results: The VNT was found to be sufficiently unidimensional with the majority of item pairs demonstrating adequate local independence. An IRT model in which item discriminations are constrained to be equal demonstrated fit equivalent to a model in which unique discrimination parameters were estimated for each item. All forms of reliability were strong across the majority of IRT ability estimates. Conclusions: Modeling the VNT using IRT is feasible, yielding ability estimates that are both informative and reliable. Future efforts are needed to quantify the validity of the VNT under IRT and determine the extent to which it measures the same construct as other anomia tests. Supplemental Material S1.

description: The Australian National University (ANU) is developing a new hybrid CPV-Thermal microconcentrator
(MCT) system working at a concentration ratio of 20 to 30X. System design and reliability testing
have been integrated as concurrent processes, enabling the early optimisation of the concentrator system design.
The key feature of this integrated design-test procedure is that carefully selected sets of simple tests can be
conducted concurrently with the design of the concentrator module, without introducing time delays in the
module design phase. Test results provide valuable information that significantly informs the design process and
helps to avoid future failures. The ANU hybrid micro-concentrator receiver also provides heat for domestic
applications, introducing special requirements for the qualification of the active cooling system. IEC 62108 tests
procedures have been analysed in order to verify and extend their suitability for active cooling systems. A
modified and extended test sequence is proposed to assess actively-cooled CPV and CPV-T systems.

description: Due to some significant advantages over conventional upright pyramids, unique surface structures, such as inverted pyramids and micro- or macro-grooves, have been chosen for the texturing of many of the record high efficiency silicon solar cells, developed by the University of New South Wales. These texturing schemes have had little appeal for inclusion in commercially significant technologies, primarily due to the complexity, sophistication and cost of the photolithographic or laser based processes used in their formation. In this work an innovative approach based on inkjet printing is used for the fabrication of the abovementioned surface structures, as an alternative to photolithography. Inkjet patterning of the dielectric layer, followed by wet chemical etching of silicon, resulted in the successful fabrication of inverted pyramids and v-grooves, equivalent to those achieved through masking and photolithography. Reflection measurements have been carried out and comparisons were made between the inkjet texturing and the texturing produced by photolithography and conventional upright pyramids.

description: Purpose: We examined the grammaticality judgments of tense and agreement (T/A) structures by children with and without developmental language disorder (DLD) within African American English (AAE). The children’s judgments of T/A forms were also compared to their judgments of two control forms and, for some analyses, examined by surface form (i.e., overt, zero) and type of structure (i.e., BE, past tense, verbal –s). Method: The judgments were from 91 AAE-speaking kindergartners (DLD = 34; typically developing = 57), elicited using items from the Rice/Wexler Test of Early Grammatical Impairment. The data were analyzed twice, once using General American English as the reference and Aʹ scores and once using AAE as the reference and percentages of acceptability. Results: Although the groups differed using both metrics, the percentages of acceptability tied the DLD T/A deficit to judgments of the overt forms, while also revealing a general DLD weakness judging sentences that are ungrammatical in AAE. Judgments of the overt T/A forms by both groups correlated with their productions of these forms and their language test scores, and both groups showed structure-specific form preferences (“is”: overt > zero vs. verbal –s: overt = zero). Conclusion: The findings demonstrate the utility of grammaticality judgment tasks for revealing weaknesses in T/A within AAE-speaking children with DLD, while also calling for more studies using AAE as the dialect reference when designing stimuli and coding systems.

description: This paper presents the effect of phosphorus gettering on electrical properties of n-type multicrystalline silicon ingots grown by different solidification processes, A and B. Effective carrier lifetimes of the n-type mc-Si wafers cut from the both ingots increased after phosphorus diffusion at 875 oC. Furthermore, the ingot
grown by method B has a better response to P-gettering than the ingot grown by method A especially at the top regions. In addition, effective carrier lifetimes increased after P-diffusion at all parts of the ingot grown by method B, especially near the top and the bottom of the ingot.

description: Subduction occurs at the boundaries of tectonic plates, when one plate is forced below another. This process is responsible for the creation of the world’s great mountain ranges. This thesis examines a 100 million year old subduction boundary in New Zealand to try to better understand what happens when subduction ends. This thesis examined stacking patterns of sedimentary rocks in Marlborough, which revealed that as subduction shut-down in New Zealand, the land surface experienced kilometre scale changes in elevation and volcanic eruptions. These changes where the result of the tearing-off of part of the tectonic plate as subduction ended.

description: This article intends to spread the results obtained in the degradation analysis of 735 crystalline silicon
modules after first operation year. Degradation analysis carried out in this work consists of modules characterization
in laboratory before field installation and after one year in operation in real conditions. This characterization
includes peak power measurement according to IEC 61215 and additional indoor infrared thermographic inspection.
Analyzed modules belong to two large PV plants located in the South of Spain. Analysis shows a general decreasing
of electrical parameters values in the range between -1.0% to -3.5% in all modules. Measurements indicate that main
power losses are due to short circuit current degradation. Furthermore, no new thermographic defects were detected
after first operation year, but higher electrical losses have been observed in defective modules.

description: In this thesis, we develop the understanding of radiation diffusion in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Keeping in mind the main aim of the project, we, however, study all parts of the topic separately (SPH, diffusion, and radiation). We explore the accuracy of diffusion operators in SPH with different methods and kernels, study stability properties of methods for anisotropic diffusion, and experiment with various implementations of the radiation diffusion approximation. All the conclusions, which we draw for diffusion methods accuracy and stability in SPH, are applicable to a wide range of problems beyond astrophysics, as only the last part of this work is concentrated on the radiation approximation.

description: A series of frontside experimental silver pastes were made and evaluated on multicrystalline and monocrystalline Si wafers that exhibit improved electrical performance relative to commercial silver paste PV14X. A combination of process experiments and electrical measurements were performed. Several electrical measurement methods were applied: I-V, Suns Voc, Corescan, and Line resistance. Line dimensions and soldered adhesion were also measured. These studies provided insights into the various paste designs that are related to third generation DuPont® Solamet™ pastes.

description: We extend the work of Yen et al. (2012) and develop 2nd order formulae to accommodate a nested grid discretization for the direct self-gravitational force calculation for infinitesimally thin gaseous disks. This approach uses a two-dimensional kernel derived for infinitesimally thin disks and is free of artificial boundary conditions. The self-gravitational force calculation is presented in generalized convolution forms for a nested grid configuration. A numerical technique derived from a fast Fourier transform is employed to reduce the computational complexity to be nearly linear. By comparing with analytic potential-density pairs associated with the generalized Maclaurin disks, the extended approach is verified to be of second order accuracy using numerical simulations. The proposed method is accurate, computationally fast and has the potential to be applied to the studies of planetary migration and the gaseous morphology of disk galaxies.

description: Time series segmentation is a dynamic sphere of research that has attracted attention in diverse topics. The aim of this thesis is to segment time series data using a Bayesian approach and develop methods to segment multiple parallel time series data. This thesis used a novel methodology called the Bayesian change-point segmented ARMA model, which estimates the change-point locations by segmenting a time series using an ARMA model. It also uses a highly efficient technique (Generalized Gibbs Sampler) to generate samples from a posterior distribution. Three alternative generalizations of the Bayesian change-point segmented ARMA model were developed to segment multiple parallel time series data.

description: Fix a prime $p$ and a positive integer $R$. We study the property testing of functions $\mathbb F_p^n\to[R]$. We say that a property is testable if there exists an oblivious tester for this property with one-sided error and constant query complexity. Furthermore, a property is proximity oblivious-testable (PO-testable) if the test is also independent of the proximity parameter $ε$. It is known that a number of natural properties such as linearity and being a low degree polynomial are PO-testable. These properties are examples of linear-invariant properties, meaning that they are preserved under linear automorphisms of the domain. Following work of Kaufman and Sudan, the study of linear-invariant properties has been an important problem in arithmetic property testing. A central conjecture in this field, proposed by Bhattacharyya, Grigorescu, and Shapira, is that a linear-invariant property is testable if and only if it is semi subspace-hereditary. We prove two results, the first resolves this conjecture and the second classifies PO-testable properties. (1) A linear-invariant property is testable if and only if it is semi subspace-hereditary. (2) A linear-invariant property is PO-testable if and only if it is locally characterized. Our innovations are two-fold. We give a more powerful version of the compactness argument first introduced by Alon and Shapira. This relies on a new strong arithmetic regularity lemma in which one mixes different levels of Gowers uniformity. This allows us to extend the work of Bhattacharyya, Fischer, Hatami, Hatami, and Lovett by removing the bounded complexity restriction in their work. Our second innovation is a novel recoloring technique called patching. This Ramsey-theoretic technique is critical for working in the linear-invariant setting and allows us to remove the translation-invariant restriction present in previous work.
