description: The storage and retrieval of photonic quantum states, quantum memory, is a key resource for a wide range of quantum applications. Here we investigate the sensitivity of $Λ$-type quantum memory to experimental fluctuations and drift. We use a variance-based approach, focusing on the effects of fluctuations and drift on memory efficiency. We consider shot-to-shot fluctuations of the memory parameters, and separately we consider longer timescale drift of the control field parameters. We find the parameters that a quantum memory is most sensitive to depend on the quantum memory protocol being employed, where the observed sensitivity agrees with physical interpretation of the protocols. We also present a general framework that is applicable to other figures of merit beyond memory efficiency. These results have practical ramifications for quantum memory experiments.

description: A new solar radiation database for Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia is presented. The solar resource at ground level was estimated using images from the Meteosat satellites located above the Indian Ocean. The calculation method applied, a Heliosat-type model, provides hourly values of both global horizontal and beam normal irradiance. The validation of the estimates was performed considering measurements recorded at high quality ground stations. However, since the number of stations in the area covered by the eastern satellites is limited, the validation was performed considering also other stations located in the viewing area of the same type of satellites but located at 0º longitude. The results show a low overall bias for all the stations for both the global horizontal and the beam normal irradiance estimation. The new database will be available for free at the web application PVGIS which allows users to estimate the solar resource received by any tilted surface, and also provides an estimation of the energy output of various types of PV technologies. Thanks to this new database the coverage of PVGIS will include, not only Europe and Africa which are already available, but Asia as well.

description: It was found that one of the degradation factors for crystalline Si photovoltaic (PV) modules is chemical corrosion of electrodes by acetic acid. Acetic acid is generated by hydrolysis reaction between water vapor and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) used as encapsulant. Therefore it is possible that residual acetic acid inside the modules is a measure for degradation. Acetate-ion concentration inside the module was measured by ion chromatography for both the modules after damp-heat (DH) test and those exposed outside for long time. By comparing acetate-ion concentration for both modules, it was found that DH test for 4000 h is almost equivalent to outside exposure for about 30 years.

description: We study spherical quadrilaterals whose angles are odd multiples of pi/2, and the equivalent accessory parameter problem for the Heun equation. We obtain a classification of these quadrilaterals up to isometry. For given angles, there are finitely many one-dimensional continuous families which we enumerate. In each family the conformal modulus is either bounded from above or bounded from below, but not both, and the numbers of families of these two types are equal. The results can be translated to classification of Heun's equations with real parameters, whose exponent differences are odd multiples of 1/2, with unitary monodromy.

description: We construct a family of simple single-field inflation models consistent with Planck / BICEP Keck bounds which have a parametrically small tensor amplitude and no running of the scalar spectral index. The construction consists of a constant-roll hilltop inflaton potential with the end of inflation left as a free parameter induced by higher-order operators which become dominant late in inflation. This construction directly demonstrates that there is no lower bound on the tensor/scalar ratio for simple single-field inflation models.

description: This article reports on tunable electron backscattering investigated with the biased tip of a scanning force microscope. Using a channel defined by a pair of Schottky gates, the branched electron flow of ballistic electrons injected from a quantum point contact is guided by potentials of a tunable height well below the Fermi energy. The transition from injection into an open two-dimensional electron gas to a strongly confined channel exhibits three experimentally distinct regimes: one in which branches spread unrestrictedly, one in which branches are confined but the background conductance is affected very little, and one where the branches have disappeared and the conductance is strongly modified. Classical trajectory-based simulations explain these regimes at the microscopic level. These experiments allow us to understand under which conditions branches observed in scanning gate experiments do or do not reflect the flow of electrons.

description: Experimentally and mysteriously, the concentration of quasiparticles in a gapped superconductor at low temperatures always by far exceeds its equilibrium value. We study the dynamics of localized quasiparticles in superconductors with a spatially fluctuating gap edge. The competition between phonon-induced quasiparticle recombination and generation by a weak non-equilibrium agent results in an upper bound for the concentration that explains the mystery.

description: In this paper, we propose a method to describe the many-body problem of electrons in honeycomb materials via the introduction of random fields which are coupled to the electrons and have a Gaussian distribution. From a one-body approach to the problem, after integrating exactly the contribution of the random fields, one builds a non-hermitian and dissipative effective Hamiltonian with two-body interactions. Our approach introduces besides the usual average over the electron field a second average over the random fields. The interplay of two averages enables the definition of various types of Green's functions which allow the investigation of fluctuation-dissipation characteristics of the interactions that are a manifestation of the many-body problem. In the current work we study only the dissipative term, through the perturbative analysis of the dynamics associated the effective Hamiltonian generated by two different kinds of couplings. For the cases analysed, the eigenstates of the effective Hamiltonian are complex and, therefore, some of the states have a finite life time. Moreover, we also investigate, in the mean field approximation, the most general parity conserving coupling to the random fields and compute the width of charge carriers $Γ$ as a function of the Fermi energy $E_F$. The theoretical prediction for $Γ(E_F)$ is compared to the available experimental data for graphene. The good agreement between $Γ_{theo}$ and $Γ_{exp}$ suggests that description of the many-body problem associated to the electrons in honeycomb materials can indeed be done via the introduction of random fields.

description: We propose a novel probabilistic forecast model of solar irradiation employing “variable dispersion beta regression”, which is a sort of parametric probability model applicable for objects with doubly bounded distribution like solar irradiation. This parametric approach enables the direct forecast of “uncertainty” of irradiation independently of its expected value. Temporal correlation is also modeled on the assumption of first-order Markovness between adjacent hours, which is implemented by “copula” function (copula-based Markov process). In addition, the strength of temporal correlation is also modeled to be variable according to weather condition. By using this model, the forecasted irradiation and its confidence interval for each time horizon are well forecasted. The performance is verified by logarithmic score which is a kind of proper scoring rule.

description: In 2012 an increased number of arcing faults in PV module junction boxes occurred at products manufactured by the company “Scheuten Solar Holding BV”. Beside damages to modules and yield losses, also consequential fire damages to buildings happened. The Netherlands consumer product safety authority issued a European safety alert notification (RAPEX) and claimed extended tests for repair solutions as the affected products were certified and tested according to actual standards, but still failed in practice. Additional testing procedures beyond actual standards were defined after intensive discussions in an experts group. Suncycle developed a repair method in cooperation with the Fraunhofer institute for reliability and microintegration (IZM). Extended climatic chamber tests were carried out on original junction boxes as well as on different repair solutions. Measurements and analytical methods could prove the existence of fretting corrosion at original plug connections. The experience with this failure mechanism caused discussions in standardisation committees and adaptations of applicable product certification standards can be expected.

description: We demonstrate electrical spin injection into multilayer graphene (MLG) in a lateral spin valve device from a highly spin-polarized Co2FeSi (CFS) Huesler electrode. Exfoliated MLG was transferred onto pre-patterned epitaxial CFS wires grown on an Si(111) substrate by a polymer-based transfer method. This method enabled us to fabricate multiple single-crystal CFS electrodes in contact with MLG. Electrical spin injection from CFS to MLG was detected through non-local magnetoresistance (MR) measurement. A non-local spin signal of 430 ohm was observed; this is the largest value among all reported non-local MR values in graphene-based devices.

description: Recent experimental progress has produced Molecular Superfluids (MSF) in thermal equilibrium; this opens the door to a new class of experiments investigating the associated thermodynamic and dynamical responses. We review the theoretical picture of the phase diagram and quasiparticle spectrum in the Atomic Superfluid (ASF) and MSF phases. We further compute the parametric dependence of the quasiparticle lifetimes at one-loop order. In the MSF phase, the $U(1)$ particle number symmetry breaks to $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and the spectrum exhibits a gapless Goldstone mode in addition to a gapped $\mathbb{Z}_2$-protected atom-like mode. In the ASF phase, the $U(1)$ symmetry breaks completely, leaving behind a Goldstone mode and an unprotected gapped mode. In both phases, the Goldstone mode decays with a rate given by the celebrated Belyaev result, as in a single component condensate. In the MSF phase, the gapped mode is sharp up to a critical Cherenkov momentum beyond which it emits phonons. In the ASF phase, the gapped mode decays with a constant rate even at small momenta. These decay rates govern the spectral response in microtrap tunneling experiments and lead to sharp features in the transmission spectrum of atoms fired through molecular clouds.

description: Clamping loss limits the quality factor of mechanical mode in the optomechanical resonators supported with the supporting stem. Using the mechanical bound state in the continuum, we have found that the mechanical clamping loss can be avoided. The mechanical quality factor of microsphere could be achieved up to 10^8 for a specific radius of the stem, where the different coupling channels between the resonator and supporting stem are orthogonal to each other. Such mechanism is proved to be universal for different geometries and materials, thus can also be generalized to design the high quality mechanical resonators.

description: The fast growth of the photovoltaic market in the last years has raised new challenges for the development of standardized tests to assure PV module reliability in the field and to predict their lifetime. These are crucial points to keep the confidence of investors in standard well-established technologies and to increase confidence in new emerging technologies. The analysis of degradation of modules that were field exposed over a long period of time is fundamental to identify the degradation mechanisms and to collect statistics on modules behaviour. This work focuses on the analysis of the change of the PV modules electrical characteristics after approximately 20 years of field exposure, considering differences in the design of cells that were used for the production of these modules, which were identified by detailed visual inspection. Failure modes were identified by comprehensive visual inspection and the use of spatially resolved analysis techniques: Laser Beam Induced Current (LBIC) and electroluminescence (EL) and the effects of differences in cells design were analysed by comparing the degradation rates of electrical parameters.

description: The performance and reliability of photovoltaic (PV) modules generally relies amongst others on the packaging materials and especially the backsheet used, which in turn provides a more durable mechanical package. In this work, the outdoor performance of different crystalline-Silicon (c-Si) PV modules incorporating backsheet compositions capable of reducing operating cell temperatures and increasing outdoor performance, was assessed. In particular, the outdoor evaluation was performed with different backsheet material modules installed side-by-side as grid-connected systems and monitored at the PV Technology Laboratory, University of Cyprus (UCY), in Cyprus. The field results obtained using the data-sets acquired, over a period of two years, verified that backsheet design can influence the operating temperature of modules and enhance operation at cooler temperatures, in some cases, by up to approximately 10 °C. Additionally, the backsheet systems that retained cooler operating temperatures produced higher annual energy yield, under the warm conditions exposed due to reduced thermal losses of approximately 1%.

description: In this paper, we show a "proof of concept" of the heating mechanism of the solar chromosphere due to wave dissipation caused by the effects of partial ionization. Numerical modeling of non-linear wave propagation in a magnetic flux tube, embedded in the solar atmosphere, is performed by solving a system of single-fluid quasi-MHD equations, which take into account the ambipolar term from the generalized Ohm's law. It is shown that perturbations caused by magnetic waves can be effectively dissipated due to ambipolar diffusion. The energy input by this mechanism is continuous and shown to be more efficient than dissipation of static currents, ultimately leading to chromospheric temperature increase in magnetic structures.

description: We report a calculation of the combined effect of photon radiation and quark mass differences on charge symmetry violation (CSV) in the parton distribution functions of the nucleon. Following a recent suggestion of Martin and Ryskin, the initial photon distribution is calculated in terms of coherent radiation from the proton as a whole, while the effect of the quark mass difference is based on a recent lattice QCD simulation. The distributions are then evolved to a scale at which they can be compared with experiment by including both QCD and QED radiation. Overall, at a scale of 5 GeV$^2$, the total CSV effect on the phenomenologically important difference between the $d$ and $u$-quark distributions is some 20\% larger than the value based on quark mass differences alone. In total these sources of CSV account for approximately 40\% of the NuTeV anomaly.

description: Future Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) experiments will deliver extremely accurate measurements of the E-modes pattern of the CMB polarization field. Given the sharpness of the E-modes transfer functions, such surveys make for a powerful detector of high-frequency signals from primordial features that may be lurking in current data sets. With a handful of toy models that increase the fit to the latest Planck data, but are of marginal statistical significance, we use a state-of-the-art forecast pipeline to illustrate the promising prospects to test primordial features in the next decade. Not only will future experiments allow us to detect such features in data, but they will also be able to discriminate between models and narrow down the physical mechanism originating them with high statistical significance. On the other hand, if the anomalies in the currently measured CMB spectra are just statistical fluctuations, all the current feature best fit candidates will be ruled out. Either way, our results show that primordial features are a clear target of forthcoming CMB surveys beyond the detection of tensor modes.

Using data on the chemical composition and absorption in HII regions, obtained from spectroscopic observations, and using evolutionary models, we estimated physical parameters (ages and masses) of young stellar groupings embedded in HII regions. We found that the gas extinction, A(gas), which determined from the Balmer decrement, does not correspond in some cases to the absorption A(stars) in the young stellar associations (complexes). This is due to the spatial offset relative HII cloud the stellar group related to him. It has been found that the condition A(gas) = A(stars) does not satisfied for the star forming regions, in which: 1) the contribution to the total emission of gas in the B and/or V bands is higher than 40%, and 2) EW(H alpha) > 1500A. Extinction A(V) in studied star forming regions corrected for the Galactic absorption A(V)Gal ranges from 0 to 3 mag with a mean value A(V)-A(V)Gal = 1.18+-0.84 mag. We estimated masses and ages for 63 star forming regions. The regions have ages from 1 to 10 Myr, the most part of them are younger than 6 Myr. The derived masses of young stellar groupings range from 10^4Msun in the nearby galaxies NGC 628 and NGC 6946 to 10^7Msun in the most distant NGC 7678. More than 80% of groupings have masses between 10^5Msun and 10^6Msun. The lowest mass estimate of 1x10^4Msun for the objects in NGC 628 and NGC 6946 belongs to the mass interval of the youngest Galactic open clusters.

description: The whole year performance ratio of back contact c-Si cell PV modules is reported for AU Optronics
10MW project. Due to the benefit of better temperature coefficient and higher spectral response, SunForte modules
show 2.3% to 5.6% premium than front contact P-mono modules in the same field site. The influence of irradiance
and module temperature variation on performance ratio is investigated, and the correlation among cell-modulesystem
performance is linked. Power degradation for the first year is smaller than 1% resulting from the characteristic
of LID-free N-mono cell, and potential induced degradation (PID) is either not found. From the result of several
extended acceleration tests based on IEC 61215 standards, it reveals excellent reliability comparing to traditional
front contact technology and provides solid warranty more than twenty five years. Therefore we purpose to take the
advantages of high efficiency, low power degradation, PID-free and outstanding reliability to employ SunForte
modules among rigorous climate regions.

description: Let $E$ be the Banach space constructed by Read (J. London Math. Soc. 1989) such that the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(E)$ of bounded operators on $E$ admits a discontinuous derivation. We show that $\mathscr{B}(E)$ has a singular, admissible extension which splits algebraically, but does not split strongly. This answers a natural question going back to the work of Bade, Dales, and Lykova (Mem. Amer. Math. Soc. 1999), and complements recent results of Laustsen and Skillicorn (C. R. Math. Acad. Sci. Paris, to appear).

description: The effect of partial cell shading on module and systems has been investigated by electronic circuit simulations. The shaded cell’s transition from generation to dissipation, with increasing shadow fraction has been analyzed in detail. High shunt resistance cells show a maximum dissipation point (MDP) at low shadow fractions (5-18%), while low shunt resistance cells show a maximum dissipation plateau at high shadow fractions (typically >50%). Many cell manufacturers reject cells that have Irev(-10V) > 2.5 A, with the argument that high dissipation and associated high temperatures (local hot spots) under reverse bias will not occur in this way. However, in this study we show that cells, under partial shading conditions, with reverse-bias currents as low as Irev(-10V)=0.1A yet can suffer from dissipations up to 86W. This result confirms the need for a revised hotspot test as suggested by Wohlgemuth et al. We show that for module-level optimizers dissipation occurs at higher shadow fractions and that the dissipation is lower than for system-level optimizers. Finally, we suggest that a new generation of inverters with global MPP tracking potentially pose a safety and long-term module reliability concern, since the maximum power can be accompanied with high dissipations in partially shaded cells. Inverters that operate at the high-V local MPP produces less power in situations of partial cell shading, but high dissipative powers in a shaded cell can be prevented.

description: To better understand the performance and degradation mechanisms of photovoltaic modules in the service environment, we have inspected and characterized more than 60 global installations with more than 1.5 million modules (>200 MW) in Europe, Israel, China, Japan, India, Canada, and United States. These inspections covered a range of installation types, climates, and ages ranging from newly commissioned to 30 years of operation. Modules were inspected and evaluated in the field and then selected modules were removed for further analysis in the laboratory. Both photovoltaic performance and failure analyses were done using a range of physical and chemical methods. This allowed characterization of failure modes and degradation, and provided critical guidance in the development of accelerated durability test protocols in order to better predict module performance and lifetime. The data and analysis from these fielded modules was used with environmental data to re-design single stress accelerated test protocols, including UV exposure and damp heat. Combined stress tests (simultaneous and sequential) were also designed and investigated to better match the service environment. These tests were then applied with modules using different materials and processing to understand the impact of materials and process changes, such as backsheet changes, on module performance. By comparing the results of these accelerated tests to the fielded modules we gained insights into the ability of these accelerated tests to predict field performance and the role of different materials in affecting module performance and reliability.
Silver nanoparticles biosynthesis using an airborne fungal isolate, Aspergillus flavus: optimization, characterization and antibacterial activity

subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Background and Objectives: Nanoscience is one of the most important branches of modern science, which deals with the knowledge, structure, and properties of nanoparticles. This study aimed to investigate the ability of an airborne fungus (Aspergillus flavus) to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and to test the antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs. Materials and Methods: The confirmation of AgNPs synthesis and the characterization of their properties were done using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Zeta potential, Zeta sizer, FT-IR, and XRD analyses. The antibacterial activity was determined using broth microdilution method. Results: The findings showed that the average diameter of the resultant AgNPs was 474.2 nm with a PDI value of 0.27, and the zeta potential was -33.8 mV. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the AgNPs were regular and spherical in shape. TEM micrographs demonstrated that the AgNPs were smaller than those that were observed by DLS examination because the drying process resulted in particle shrinkage. The average size of AgNPs were less than 35 nm. The AgNPs exhibited a remarkable antibacterial activity against K. pneumonia, E. coli, E. cloacae, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and Shigella sp., and the MIC values ranged from 25 to 100 µg/mL. However, an exception was P. aeruginosa in which its MIC was >125 µg/mL. Conclusion: The results suggest that, the biosynthesized AgNPs by A. flavus could be utilized as a source of potent antibacterial agents in medicine and biotechnological implantations.

description: We introduce Day Light Luminescence System Testing (DaySy), which generates electro- and photoluminescence images of installed solar modules in bright daylight. Broken solar cells with interrupted interconnects or cracks are easily revealed. Above all DaySy combines electroluminescence with photoluminescence imaging to exactly identify potential induced degradation (PID) and series resistance losses as well as cell areas which are completely inactive. DaySy inspects up to 1.2 MWp of installed modules within 24h.

description: We investigate the impact of the backsheet on cell interconnect ribbon and cell breakage in PV laminates. Standard sized laminates with and without a backsheet are mechanically loaded in a 4 line bending setup. We detect cracks in cells and cell interconnect ribbons by electroluminescence and measure cell crack widths and cell gap widths on photographs taken during the loading. Crack and gap widths increase with increasing bending. In the laminate without a backsheet the crack and gap widths increase by a factor of 1.7 to 3 more. The backsheet is under tensile stress which is partly transferred to the cells keeping the cell and gap widths smaller. Since the crack resistance increases with increasing crack width, insulated cell parts can occur at lower laminate loading in the laminate without a backsheet. A larger change in cell gap width causes more plastic deformation of the cell interconnect ribbon which leads to fatigue breakage after repeated load cycles. After the corrosion of the broken interface of the cell interconnect ribbon, the laminates show a reduction in module efficiency of 10.3 % (without backsheet) and of 2.2 % (with backsheet). This result emphasizes the importance of the mechanical properties of the backsheet.
