description: We present a portable platform, called PIC_ENGINE, for accelerating Particle-In-Cell (PIC) codes on heterogeneous many-core architectures such as Graphic Processing Units (GPUs). The aim of this development is efficient simulations on future exascale systems by allowing different parallelization strategies depending on the application problem and the specific architecture. To this end, this platform contains the basic steps of the PIC algorithm and has been designed as a test bed for different algorithmic options and data structures. Among the architectures that this engine can explore, particular attention is given here to systems equipped with GPUs. The study demonstrates that our portable PIC implementation based on the OpenACC programming model can achieve performance closely matching theoretical predictions. Using the Cray XC30 system, Piz Daint, at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), we show that PIC_ENGINE running on an NVIDIA Kepler K20X GPU can outperform the one on an Intel Sandybridge 8-core CPU by a factor of 3.4.

Large PV Power Plants and High Penetration of Distributed PV: System Aspects and Grid Integration

description: 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 5068-5073
description: This study discusses the impact of high penetration photovoltaic power generation system (PVS) on
the load frequency control of utility grid. By using the multi-points observed data of insolation, first, this study
discusses two key factors of the proposed model to estimate the STD of total power fluctuation of high penetration
PVS. The first one is the distance with which the insolation fluctuations at two points can be considered as
independent and the second one is the practical usability of the central limit theorem to estimate the STD of total
power output fluctuation of high penetration PVS by calculating 1/√N value of the STD at the representative point.
Then, this paper estimates the STD of apparent electricity demand fluctuation including PVS power output as
negative electricity demand. Finally, by comparing the estimated STD of total power output fluctuation of high
penetration PVS with the actual STD of electricity demand fluctuation, this paper discusses the impact of high
penetration PVS on LFC of electric power utility. The results suggest that if a number of PVSs are dispersed
according to residential distribution, the impact of high penetration PVS on LFC may not be significant.

description: A new approach for realizing a defined texture on multicrystalline silicon for solar cells was
investigated. The necessary etching mask is structured via UV-Nanoimprint Lithography as a potential substitute for
photolithography. This emerging technology offers new possibilities in terms of resolution, shape of the structured
patterns and requirements to the substrate´s surface quality. After the UV sensitive resist is structured and crosslinked,
it serves as etching mask within a reactive ion etching process. To evaluate the quality of the textured
surfaces, optical as well as electrical characterisation was conducted.

description: It has been recently demonstrated that Neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) endosomal signalling participates in pain transmission and it has therefore been proposed that endosomal NK1R signalling is a potential therapeutic target. This work explores this concept, through the design and characterisation of polymeric nanoparticles that selectively deliver the NK1R antagonist Aprepitant into endosomes without disrupting physiological cell function. This strategy utilises the acidic pH environment of the endosomal network to promote nanoparticle disassembly and endosome-selective cargo release, thereby successfully decreasing NK1R-mediated signalling pathways that are associated with pain transmission.

PV Components for Buildings, PV Integration in Buildings

description: 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, 6-10 September 2010, Valencia, Spain; 5082-5085
description: The first building-integrated 25.6 kWP photovoltaic (PV) system of Turkey was connected to the Mugla
University Campus grid in May 2003, since then has been under investigation. The PV system was installed on the roof
of the student cafeteria. The PV system consists of 214 multi crystalline silicon PV modules (120 WP under STC: 1000
W/m2 irradiation and 25oC cell temperature) covering 215 m2 area and is integrated directly onto the structure of the roof.
These modules are grouped in fifteen sub arrays, the power of which is fed into fifteen Siemens Sitop Solar inverters
(1650 W) working in master slave arrangements.
This paper summarises seven years performance of the system as a follow up of the results published earlier [2, 3]. The
operational parameters of the PV system and environmental parameters are continuously monitored using a dynamic
online data collection system. The PV monitoring system includes two irradiation sensors, two thermocouples, a total
energy output measurement system, a dataloger and a personal computer to evaluate the PV system performance. The
total PV electricity yield during 84 months from the start is 213,105 kWh. The average performance ratio (PR) of the
system for 7 years is calculated to be about 0.70. The monthly average efficiency of the PV systems is calculated
10.24% for December and that of 7.5% for June. Daily, monthly and seasonal variations in performance parameters of
the BIPV system in relation to solar data and meteorological parameters will be reported for the last seven years.

description: We define objective Eulerian Coherent Structures (OECSs) in two-dimensional, non-autonomous dynamical systems as instantaneously most influential material curves. Specifically, OECSs are stationary curves of the averaged instantaneous material stretching-rate or material shearing-rate functionals. From these objective (frame-invariant) variational principles, we obtain explicit differential equations for hyperbolic, elliptic and parabolic OECSs. As illustration, we compute OECSs in an unsteady ocean velocity data set. In comparison to structures suggested by other common Eulerian diagnostic tools, we find OECSs to be the correct short-term cores of observed trajectory deformation patterns.
Indigenous Identity Post-Linguicide: A study among the Pijao of Central Coyaima, Colombia

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2021
Subjects: Linguistics not elsewhere classified

description: The Pijao are a Colombian indigenous group that lost their language due to Colombia’s pre-1991 language policy. This thesis explores how the Pijao community in central Coyaima manage their identities as both Pijao and indigenous people after language death. In and around the community, the Pijao express their indigeneity through ethnically indexed phonetic items but there is not enough evidence for a Pijao ethnolect. Outside the community the Pijao express their indigeneity through the invocation of an indigenous chronotope via selective use of honorifics and lexical items. As such, the thesis argues against linguistic essentialism for indigeneity.

description: Al-plated Cu contact tapes were attached to the Mo back contact of 10x10 cm2, 30x30 cm2, and 60x120 cm2 CIGS solar modules by ultrasonic welding of single welding points. The connection occurred between the Al cladding and the Mo or MoSex surface (“configuration M”) which is exposed by removing the overlying ZnO/CIGS layer on top of it by mechanical scraping. The average peel strength of the welding points ranges between 1 and 7 N, depending on the welding force, power and energy. For increasing welding forces, the peel strength is controlled successively by the adhesion of the interfaces Al/Mo, Al/Cu and Mo/glass. The contact resistance of about 75 mΩ per welding point, corresponding to a resistivity of 1.8 mΩcm2, was quite stable in the damp-heat (DH) and thermal-cycling (TC) tests. The corrosion sensitivity of the selenised Mo layer, with its MoSex surface, was significantly reduced compared to pure Mo. The efficiencies of the ultrasonically welded and encapsulated CIGS modules remained very stable during the DH and TC tests, showing no negative effects which could be attributed to the welding procedure. The number and characteristics of glass outbreaks were evaluated among several thousand welding points. The defect rate could be reduced to about 0.2 % by employing an appropriate fixation of the modules and a sufficiently moderate welding force and energy. Glass outbreaks occurred mainly when the welding points were located at small cracks, holes, or cavities at the Mo/glass surface.
Prophetic Criticism and the Rhetoric of Temporality

description: The paper discusses Paul Tillich’s changing conception of a “prophetic critique” of contemporary culture and society through the notion of a “kairos”, the moment of fullfilled time. It shows how Tillich refers both to a specific notion of prophecy (developed in Max Weber’s reflections on charisma) and to a concept of eschatological time (developed in Karl Barth’s dialectical theology). In different texts from the 1920ies and the 1950ies, Tillich uses the idea of “kairos” for a critique of the “idols” of bourgeois culture that is both radical and urgent. However, read in their historic sequence, these texts also reveal the difficulty of upholding the urgency of such a critique over time – as a result, Tillich’s notion of “kairos” becomes more and more reflexive and self critical as the possibility of prophetic critique is concerned.

description: The paper presents a comparison of the results of high-precision indoor and outdoor characterization of seven brands of PV module, all fabricated from either monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon cells. The indoor characterization measurements were performed in the laboratory of TÜV Rheinland, Cologne, Germany. The outdoor measurements were performed under clear sky conditions at the Sede Boqer campus of Ben-Gurion University, in the Negev desert of Israel. For the outdoor tests, in addition to our previously published technique for adjusting the raw results to 1000 Wm-2 incident irradiance and 25 oC cell temperature, an additional experimental technique is described that enabled us to adjust the results to AM1.5 spectral conditions. This allowed a fair comparison to be made between indoor and outdoor measurements under true STC conditions.

description: We report on generation machanism of dislcations in Si multicrystals during crystal growth and
demondtrate that dislocation density can be reduced by controlling microstructures in Si multicrystals, especially
coherency of grain boundaries, at the initial stage of crystal growth. We revealed that anisotropic shear stress around
a grain boundary plays an important role in generation of dislocation, and finite element analysis predicted that the
shear stress can be reduced by appropriate control of microstructures. An attempt was made to change the coherency
of grain boundaries systematically by utilizing dendritic nucleation. Dislocation density measured by counting etchpits
clarified that parallel contact of adjacent dendrite crystals is useful to suppress generation of dislocations. On the
other hand, increase of the contact angle resulted in increase of the dislocation density.

description: The behavior of iron in multicrystalline silicon during solar cell processing is analyzed by spatially
resolved measurements and a 2-dimensional physical modeling. Previously used models for internal gettering in
multicrystalline silicon, phosphorus diffusion gettering and aluminum gettering were improved and combined. The
simulations for different iron contamination levels are in good consistency with the spatially resolved measurements of
the Fei concentrations. The simulations can be used for optimization of the solar cell processes regarding to the iron
distribution. The effect of a 550°C gettering step after phosphorus diffusion on the Fei concentration of the solar cell is
simulated. For wafers intentionally contaminated with iron the Fei concentrations increase during contact firing above
860°C in the simulations and the experiments.

description: The prime Kepler mission revealed that small planets (<4 R_earth) are common, especially around low-mass M dwarfs. K2, the re-purposed Kepler mission, continues this exploration of small planets around small stars. Here we combine K2 photometry with spectroscopy, adaptive optics imaging, and archival survey images to analyze two small planets orbiting the nearby, field age, M dwarfs K2-26 (EPIC 202083828) and K2-9. K2-26 is an M1.0 +/- 0.5 dwarf at 93 +/- 7 pc from K2 Campaign 0. We validate its 14.5665 d period planet and estimate a radius of 2.67^+0.46_-0.42 R_earth. K2-9 is an M2.5 +/- 0.5 dwarf at 110 +/- 12 pc from K2 Campaign 1. K2-9b was first identified by Montet et al. 2015; here we present spectra and adaptive optics imaging of the host star and independently validate and characterize the planet. Our analyses indicate K2-9b is a 2.25^+0.53_-0.96 R_earth planet with a 18.4498 d period. K2-26b exhibits a transit duration that is too long to be consistent with a circular orbit given the measured stellar radius. Thus, the long transits are likely due to the photoeccentric effect and our transit fits hint at an eccentric orbit. Both planets receive low incident flux from their host stars and have estimated equilibrium temperatures <500 K. K2-9b may receive approximately Earth-like insolation. However, its host star exhibits strong GALEX UV emission which could affect any atmosphere it harbors. K2-26b and K2-9b are representatives of a poorly studied class of small planets with cool temperatures that have radii intermediate to Earth and Neptune. Future study of these systems can provide key insight into trends in bulk composition and atmospheric properties at the transition from silicate dominated to volatile rich bodies.

description: PURPOSE: This study probes the potential for enhanced ammonia removal in the context of acute liver failure (ALF) management by developing and testing a system incorporating a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) filter, perfluorocarbon (PFC), and vacuum pressure. Our hypothesis posits that this system can effectively facilitate ammonia capture and removal in a simulated peritoneal environment. METHODS: Our experimental setup consisted of a system incorporating a PDMS filter, PFCs, and vacuum pressure. We simulated a peritoneal environment using a vortex mixing tank, where we mixed reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) water with different amounts of ammonium hydroxide to replicate the presence of ammonia in ALF. This solution, aided by PFCs, was circulated through the PDMS filter under vacuum pressure, facilitating the diffusion of ammonia from the liquid phase to the gas phase. Sensors measured gas ammonia, liquid ammonium (NH4+), temperature, pressure, pH, mass, and volumetric flow. RESULTS: Our findings indicate that the combination of PFC, the high permeability of the PDMS filter, and vacuum pressure can be used for ammonia gas removal. Further data regarding the efficiency of the PDMS filter will be elaborated in the results section. CONCLUSIONS: Despite certain limitations, such as a limited sample size, limited PDMS filter surface area, and non-medical grade PFC, this study underscores the substantial potential of our proposed system for ALF management. Future studies should aim to refine the peritoneal dialysis model, expand the sample size, increase the PDMS surface area, and introduce animal model testing for further validation.

description: Electrocatalyzed precipitation reactions involving borides have been studied in
conjunction with three layer electrochemical refining of silicon. The principles may be
performed in parallell in a common, industrial reactor rendering the process applicable also
for the purification of boron. The interface between the impure feedstock silicon alloy and
the electrolyte has been found to exhibit strong electrocatalytic activity, enhancing the
formation of intermetallic, boron-containing compounds. This is a function of the activities
of the compound-forming elements in the feedstock silicon alloy. This is again a function of
the individual combined activity coefficients for the elements in question. These combined
activity coefficients have been determined experimentally to be 1·10-3 for TiB2 in Si and
1.55·10-1 in Si+ 17.3wt% Cu.

description: The focus of this work is the development and characterisation of 156x156 mm² sized industrial type
screen printed silicon solar cells made of 100% solar grade silicon (SoG-Si). The feedstock under investigation is
produced by 6N Silicon Inc. from metallurgical grade silicon with a lower cost low energy refining technique compared
to the Siemens process. Solar cells were processed at ISC Konstanz with industrial type process equipment.
Defining a stable baseline process at ISC Konstanz, the improvements of the 6N Silicon material achieved during one
year were tested against a single polysilicon reference brick. In addition, process enhancements leading to higher
efficiencies were investigated.
Reaching the same average efficiency level for reference and 6N material applying the baseline process, an advanced
process which still satisfies industrial production standards was defined. Running this advanced process achieved an
average efficiency of 16.0% with 100% 6N Silicon feedstock, and a best cell having 16.3% efficiency. The four best cells
of both materials and both processes are further characterised via SR, LBIC and thermography measurements to show
material dependent characteristics on cell level. Reverse current behaviour and LID are tested for cells of different ingot
positions which are relevant information for module manufacturers.

description: This is an extensive work to our previous paper \cite{key-08} studied on the D0-D4/D8 holographic system. We compute the three-body force for baryons with the D0-D4/D8 matrix model derived in \cite{key-08} with considering the non-zero QCD vacuum. We obtain the three-body force at short distances but modified by the appearance of the smeared D0-branes i.e. considering the effects from the non-trivial QCD vacuum. We firstly test our matrix model in the case of 't Hooft instanton and then in two more realistic case: (1) three-neutrons with averaged spins and (2) proton-proton-neutron (or proton-neutron-proton). The three-body potential vanishes in the former case while in two latter cases it is positive i.e. repulsive and makes sense only if the constraint for stable baryonic state is satisfied. We require all the baryons in our computation aligned on a line. These may indicate that the cases in dense states of neutrons such as in neutron stars, Helium-3 or Tritium nucleus all with the non-trivial QCD vacuum.

description: In the present study nanostructured solar cells were prepared by in-line spray pyrolysis technique. ETA
cells were realized on ZnO nanorod layer using CuInS2 as an absorber material. Thin layers of TiO2 or indium sulfide
(In-S) were deposited by spray onto ZnO nanorods in order to prevent the ZnO crystals from dissolution during the
deposition of acidic solutions to form the next layers of the cell. Insertion of both TiO2 and In-S layers into the cell
structure reduces the electrical shorts between front and back contact. Thickness of TiO2 layer should be carefully
controlled as at certain thickness it blocks the charge carrier transport in the device. The use of structured layer with
ZnO nanorods (L~ 500 nm) increases the current density from 5-6 mA/cm2 up to 11-14 mA/cm2 with no significant
reduction in Voc and FF compared to the planar device. Further increasing of the rod length leads to the higher
current densities but decreases the open circuit voltage due to increased recombination at higher interface area. The
conversion efficiency of 3.9 % (Voc=463 mV, j=14 mA/cm2, FF=60%) is obtained for the structure
TCO/ZnO(rod)/barrier/In2S3/CuInS2/PEDOT:PSS prepared at very low cost.

description: One popular view of the foundation of reality is that there is just physical stuff, and from that we get everything else. This thesis describes in detail an old rivalling view, that the foundation of reality is just mental stuff -- minds. After providing a detailed description, this view is compared to the more common view that there is just physical stuff. It is argued that there is little difference in the virtues of each such view, though some reason to prefer that which is outlined in this thesis.

description: The intrinsic thermal noise in optical fibers is the ultimate limit of fiber-based systems. However, at infrasonic frequencies, the spectral behavior of the intrinsic thermal noise remains unclear so far. We present the measurements of the fundamental thermal noise in optical fibers obtained using a balanced fiber Michelson interferometer. When an ultra-stable laser is used as the laser source and other noise sources are carefully controlled, the 1/f spectral density of thermal noise is observed down to infrasonic frequencies and the measured magnitude is consistent with the theoretical predictions at the frequencies from 0.2 Hz to 20 kHz. Moreover, as observed in the experiment, the level of 1/f thermal noise is reduced by changing the coating of optical fibers. Therefore, a possible way to reduce the thermal noise in optical fibers at low Fourier frequencies is indicated. Finally, the inconsistency between the experimental data on thermomechanical noise and existing theory is discussed.

Freedom in the Catholic Press: a case study of the Melbourne Advocate in the 1960s
Creators: name: ROBERT ALLAN CAREY
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The thesis proposes that there was a short-lived movement in the Catholic press in the 1960s whereby certain Catholic editors in Australia and America attempted to open their newspapers to a wider range of uncensored views and information. This “liberal project” in the Catholic press arose out of wider liberal movements in the Catholic Church and the world. The key features of the project are traced by way of a case study of the Melbourne Advocate between 1961 and 1969 and reveals a different Catholic press to the one of popular preconception.

description: Metal assisted etching (MAE) with Pd particles as catalyst textures multi-crystalline Si wafers for
industrial solar cell manufacturing. The MAE texturization reduces the reflectivity of bare mc-Si wafers to
Reff = 9.6 %, well below the state-of-the-art acidic texture with Reff = 21 % and achieves the range of KOH textured
mono-Si with Reff = 9.1 %. The effective reflectivity for finished MAE textured solar cells with SiNx layer and grid
contact is 38 % lower than for acidic texturization. This result promises an increase of the short circuit current Jsc =
+ 1.5 mA/cm2 and an efficiency gain  + 0.6 %. Unfortunately, so far higher recombination in the emitter region
limits cell performance with the new MAE texturization.

description: Ritual commensality is a well documented social practice in texts and visual arts of the Ancient Near East. However, no information about daily commensality can be derived from these sources .The mere fact that a daily procedure as simple as eating and drinking was depicted hints at the meaning of this scene as a social event with a high symbolic value, while ordinary daily meals never seem to be represented. This paper argues that in everyday life, the boundaries between ritual and daily commensality were often floating. In order to acquire information on daily commensal practice and on the differences to ritual commensality, the architectonic and the more unspectacular archaeological remains at the Mesopotamian site of Tall Bazi are investigated.
'Reflecting the Best Side of our Condition': The Black Press and Racial Uplift in the United States, 1900-1959
Creators: name: Sano, Vivienne
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2019
Subjects: History

description: This thesis explores the history of the black press between 1900 and 1959 through the lens of racial uplift. African American newspapers have, since the first publication in 1827, performed a social advocacy role where they promoted middle-class ideals of hard work, self-sufficiency, and respectability to "uplift" the black population to secure political and social equality. The thesis argues that the twentieth century black press, as the most important communication medium for the African American community, continued this social advocacy role by formulating racial uplift narratives to fit contemporary social conditions.

description: The relations between light trapping behavior, structural imperfections, energetic distribution of interface state densities
and interface recombination losses were investigated on as-cut, saw damage etched and textured mono-crystalline silicon
substrates for solar cell manufacturing. Surface sensitive techniques, the field-modulated surface photovoltage (SPV), total
hemispherical UV-NIR-reflectance measurements and electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to yield detailed
information on the influence of wet-chemical treatments on preparation induced texture, nano-roughness and electronic
properties of polished and textured silicon substrates. The correlation between UV reflectance and SPV measured surface
state-density has been investigated. As a result, the different contributions of micron-sized texture and nanometer-sized
surface roughness to the reflectance signal have been separated and a measurement set-up and optical model for routine
evaluation of wet-chemical surface texturization in production processes has been established.

description: In this paper we analyzed multicrystalline upgraded metallurgical grade silicon (UMG) wafer material. This
was done by comparison of two different solar cell processes with a detailed analysis of the process steps. The screen
printing process is a well known and widespread industrial standard solar cell process, which offers good results and serves
as a reference process. Due to an effective bulk passivation with hydrogen the screen printed solar cells have a high internal
quantum efficiency (IQE) in the long wavelength regime. The buried contact solar cell process is a high efficiency cell
process which offers due to a selective emitter design and low shading losses excellent results on Cz wafer material. The
selective emitter structure offers a high IQE in the blue response. Additional characterization of the bulk by spatially
resolved bulk lifetime measurement, internal quantum efficiency and reflection measurements for both solar cell processes
was performed. Screen printed solar cells with efficiencies up to 16.2% and buried contact solar cells with efficiencies up to
15.5% were produced.

description: Sowohl Identitäts- als auch Raumkonzepte haben in den einzelnen Wissenschaften bereits verschiedene Konjunkturen durchlaufen. Eine intensive Diskussion über ihre aktuelle Definition sowie die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen ihrer Anwendung in den Altertumswissenschaften fehlt jedoch bislang weitgehend. Die im Sommer 2009 gegründete Cross Sectional Group V (CSG-V) bietet hierfür einen Kommunikationsraum. Für einen die Topoi-Areas übergreifenden Austausch wurden spezielle Kommunikationsformate etabliert, z. B. ein monatlich stattfindendes Forum, ein Lesezirkel und Seminare. Ziel ist es u. a., auf methodisch- konzeptionellem Wege das Kernproblem der Verbindung von räumlich verorteter materieller Kultur mit kollektiven Identitäten zu untersuchen. Häufig wurden und werden hier Identifizierungen vorgenommen, die unreflektiert und ideologisch-politisch aufgeladen sind. Ebenso müssen neue Erkenntnisse aus den Naturwissenschaften methodenkritisch in die Forschung integriert werden, auch um mit den wieder verstärkt auftretenden biologistischen Vorstellungen angemessen umgehen zu können. Dazu ist eine Auseinandersetzung mit wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Fragestellungen und zeitgeschichtlichen, auf archäologischen Orten und archäologischen Wissensproduktionen basierenden Konstitutionen von Identitäten notwendig. Ferner stellen die Erforschung von Kulturtransfer, durch den die Dynamik von Identitäten und Raum verdeutlicht wird, sowie von sprachlichen und narrativen Identitätsdiskursen, z. B. in Form von Eponymen und Mythen, zentrale Aspekte der Arbeit der CSG-V dar. Aufgrund der Aufgabenstellung der CSG-V werden im Folgenden vor allem der diskutierte Raum- und Identitätsbegriff sowie ihre sechs Arbeitskomponenten vorgestellt und erst dann einige Schwerpunktthemen kurz behandelt.

description: We propose an all-fiber-generated dual-soliton pulses based scheme for the background-free detection of coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy under the spectral focusing mechanism. Due to the strong birefringence and high nonlinearity of a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF), two redshifted soliton pulses can be simultaneously generated relying on high-order dispersion and nonlinear effects along two eigenpolarization axes in the anomalous dispersion regime, while allowing feasible tunability of the frequency distance and temporal interval between them. This proposed scheme, termed as DS-CARS, exploits a unique combination of slight frequency-shift and advisable temporal walk-off of this two soliton pulses to achieve robust and efficient suppression of nonresonant background with compact all-fiber coherent excitation source. Capability of the DS-CARS is experimentally demonstrated by the background-free CARS spectroscopy and unambiguous CARS microscopy of polymer beads in the fingerprint region.

Traces of the Past: History and Myth in Vico, Benjamin and Blumenberg
Creators: name: JAMES FRANCIS KENT

Subjects: subject: Philosophy

description: This thesis argues that the dichotomy between ‘myth’ and ‘reason’ is untenable because myth is a primary inculcation of a rational life. This conclusion is based on the premise that myths are stories that connect individuals and communities to their pasts (both real and imagined). I offer a critique of Giambattista Vico's, Walter Benjamin's, and Hans Blumenberg's philosophical approaches to myth. All three argue that mythic stories are a locus where individuals and groups can reflect, and ‘work on’, their pasts. Myth, therefore, plays a vital role in how human beings come to orientate, and exercise, their historical, and thus rational, agency.

description: Texturization of monocrystalline silicon for solar cells is still an issue due to the properties of the
isopropyl alcohol (IPA) in the standard Potassium Hydroxide KOH (or Sodium Hydroxide NaOH)-IPA etching
solution. The low boiling point of IPA (82.4oC) is limiting etch temperature and by this processing speed.
Furthermore, IPA has other disadvantages like waste recycling problems. A better alternative for IPA, not only
regarding processing time, is a High Boiling Alcohol (HBA). In this paper we show, that our newly found KOHHBA
texture also gives lower reflection results than our KOH-IPA texture. Finally, we produced solar cells with both
textures and current-voltage measurements are compared.
