description: This work puts forward new technologies for free-space optical communications, with emphasis on deployments between ground and aerial transceivers. The proposed system targets the challenges of these aerial-ground links by applying direct laser transmission for the ground-to-aerial active uplink and applying all-optical retro-modulation (AORM) for the aerial-to-ground passive downlink. It is shown that such a system can function with multiple ground transceivers, over wide service coverage, and one aerial transceiver, with low demands for its mass and power. The AORM architecture applied in the passive downlink implements glass S-LAH79 hemispheres for effective retroreflection and CuO nanocrystal semiconductor thin film layer for all-optical modulation on ultrafast timescale. The fabricated AORM architecture is demonstrated to have an system response time of 770 fs, which limits the aggregate data rate. Such a fast system response establishes the possibility of terabit-per-second data rates. Ultimately, these findings can lay the foundation for future laser-based terabit-per-second links between satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, and high-altitude platforms

description: One of the key skills any designer must master is how to approach the use of various tools and materials in a refined and intentional way. When studying the merging of materials, it is imperative for a designer to have many tools and techniques at their disposal. To hone those skills and techniques, one must spend time with each medium to research and explore the possibilities that are available when attempting to join them with others.
description: After years of admiring experts in leather and wood working, I seized the opportunity to experiment with both materials. I have created designs for three different products that utilize leather and wood in combination with other things. The focus of this research, and the largest challenge that has been presented to me in this process, has been finding the best way to merge these two materials with others. This forces me to come up with creative solutions to design problems using the tools and materials that I have been researching for the past three years. The three products that will be discussed in this research include one desk lamp, one hanging light fixture and one chair. I will explain the inspiration behind each piece while delving into detail on the final techniques used for fusing the wood and leather with their complimentary materials.

description: Im Rahmen eines deskriptiv angelegten Forschungsvorhabens wurde der „Status Quo“ des Einsatzes von Wärmedämmverbundsystemen (WDVS) in Zusammenhang mit der Verwendung von Bioziden (Einsatz biozidfreier Komponenten in WDVS) im deutschsprachigen Raum ermittelt. Mit dem übergeordneten Ziel einer Verbesserung von Umweltschutz und ⁠Nachhaltigkeit⁠, sollte das Projekt grundlegende Informationen liefern um den pauschalen Einsatz von Bioziden zu vermeiden und fallbezogene Lösungsansätze aufzuzeigen. Durch die Identifikation von Standorten und Einsatzbedingungen, bei denen kein Biozideinsatz gegen biologischen Aufwuchs nötig ist, sollte die Studie eine Basis bilden um darauf aufbauend eine Entscheidungshilfe für den Einsatz biozidfreier Produkte erarbeiten zu können.

description: Developments in networking and collaboration technologies offer new opportunities for employees to telework. Even though studies indicate that teleworkers can be more productive
when working away from the office, results are mostly self-reported. Additionally, no studies have yet explored telework in terms of productivity and wellbeing from both a managerial and
employee perspective in Australia. We followed a qualitative research design to explore telework, productivity and wellbeing, as well as a quantitative component to measure daily
experiences of workers on telework and non-telework days. Findings indicate that 1) productivity is a management concern and requires a different management approach to yield productive outcomes; 2) high-level IT support is required for workers to be more productive; and 3) the ability to telework fosters wellbeing, which in turn contributes to productivity.
La reconnaissance du "droit de participation" des minorities à la "vie de l'État": Évolution du droit international et pratique des États

description: La présente thèse analyse les solutions apportées par la Communauté internationale, certaines communautés régionales et certains États aux problèmes des minorités. Elle porte une attention plus particulière à celle qui vise à accorder aux minorités un "droit de participation" à la "vie de l'État", qu'elle soit culturelle, sociale, économique ou publique. Elle tente de démontrer que la reconnaissance et la mise en oeuvre de cette solution, par une organisation étatique et des mécanismes institutionnels adaptés aux différentes situations minoritaires, sont seules susceptibles d'assurer la survie des minorités, le maintien de la diversité culturelle et la justice au sein des États. La première partie dresse un portrait des différentes situations minoritaires possibles et relève leur grande complexité. Elle précise les deux droits parallèles qui ont été élaborés, au niveau international et régional, pour répondre aux problèmes découlant de ces situations, à savoir le "droit des minorités" et le "droit des peuples autochtones". Elle souligne que ceux-ci ont principalement mis l'accent sur la "protection" des groupes ou de leurs membres, mais que cette protection ne permet pas toujours d'assurer la survie des minorités ni de répondre à tous leurs besoins, notamment en ce qui concerne leur "participation". Elle tente toutefois de démontrer que le libelle de certains instruments internationaux confirme le désir grandissant de la Communauté internationale d'envisager l'évolution de l'actuel régime de "protection" des minorités vers la reconnaissance d'un véritable droit collectif de "participation". La deuxième partie analyse les réponses données par les États, dans leur ordre juridique interne, à la problématique des situations minoritaires existantes sur leur territoire. Elle constate que la majorité des États a choisi de mettre en place des politiques qui assurent la seule "protection" des minorités, mais qu'un nombre significatif d'États a accepté d'adopter des politiques supplémentaires visant à garantir aux minorités une certaine "participation" à la "vie de l'État". À l'aide d'exemples de mécanismes institutionnels, non exhaustifs mais significatifs, elle tente de démontrer l'existence d'une certaine pratique des États qui confirme l'émergence d'un "droit de participation" des minorités en droit international et qui atteste, du même coup, de la variété des solutions "intégratives" et "autonomistes" envisageables pour le mettre en oeuvre. Cette étude suggere, en définitive, une réflexion sur la nécéssité de revoir la conception traditionnelle de l'État et l'aménagement des pouvoirs.
Recursive filtering approaches to channel equalization and estimation in communications

description: Communication poses challenges in the presence of interference channel environments. In order to attain performance gains, signal processing techniques at the receiver need to detect the most likely transmitted signal based on the knowledge of the received signal, the channel state information and the statistics of noise. This thesis develops such practical schemes based on a Kalman filter framework, assuming that the channel knowledge is unknown to the receiver. The communication contexts addressed in this thesis include the equalization of intersymbol interference (ISI) channels in single-transmit single-receive (STSR) systems and the channel estimation combined with the decoding of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems in fading channels. Signal processing based on a Bayesian filtering framework, built on a state-space model of the given communication system, plays a critical role in the equalization and the estimation of the channel. We develop adaptive channel equalization techniques utilizing recurrent neural networks and Kalman filters for ISI cancellation in STSR systems, which include nonlinear distortions, additive white Gaussian noise and additive white non-Gaussian impulsive noise. In uncoded systems, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) and the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) are used to train the recurrent neural equalizers and achieve the performance improvement in terms of bit error rate and convergence rate, with a shorter training sequence over the conventional equalization schemes. The integration of semiblind channel estimation into a turbo receiver, the so-called turbo-BLAST1, is developed for narrowband MIMO wireless channels. For quasi-static MIMO channels, we present iterative channel estimation schemes based on adaptive filtering algorithms such as least-mean square, recursive least-squares and the Kalman filter. The iterative strategy with adaptive filtering leads to a computationally efficient solution to iterative channel estimation, compared to the conventional snapshot approaches. For time-varying MIMO channels, we present the use of particle filtering in order to track the time variations of the channels. The improved performance by the particle filtering channel tracking is demonstrated for both Gaussian and non-Gaussian noise environments. 1BLAST: Bell-labs LAyered Space-Time architectures.

description: Over the previous years of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, both spatial analyses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-related outcomes and general studies of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine attitudes among U.S. adults have been areas of intense research. However, the combination of these two research areas is sparse in the existing literature. This study examined SARS-CoV-2 vaccine attitudes via spatial analysis techniques to aid in filling this gap. Data that included a vaccine attitude assessment and ZIP code of residence were obtained from a collection of surveys created and delivered to U.S. adults by the Healthcare and Public Perceptions of Immunizations (HaPPI) Survey Collaborative between April 2021–April 2022. A linear regression analysis conducted prior to spatial analyses found that, for this sample, factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine attitude largely matched the results of prior studies. These results also provided a source of comparison for the findings of spatial analyses. Geographically weighted regression performed at the congressional district-level indicated that there were significant spatial relationships between multiple factors and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine attitudes. Age (p < 0.05), median household income (p < 0.05), educational attainment (p < 0.05), and religious adherence (p < 0.05) were found to have spatially variable positive associations with vaccine attitudes at regional and/or subregional scales. The same was found for female gender (p < 0.05), but with a negative association with vaccine attitude at a subregional scale. These findings suggest that spatial analyses can provide fuller understanding of vaccine attitudes among U.S. adults compared with findings of non-spatial methods of analysis.

Incontinence

description: Urinary urge incontinence is a debilitating condition, effecting millions, without a known cure. Urge incontinence can occur after strokes or other lesions to the frontal cortex or hypothalamus and is also a stereotypical symptom in patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus. In NPH, it is believed that the expanding ventricles damage the surrounding white matter, leading to symptomology. Despite the need for better treatments for those with urge incontinence, who often end up in diapers or nursing homes, our knowledge of the neural circuits responsible for maintaining continence is lacking. Here, we present a detailed investigation of micturition in mice and uncover an inhibitory disynaptic pathway from the frontal cortex to the brainstem that is important for inhibiting urination. We first developed a novel, non-invasive assay to measure micturition in awake mice, using thermal imaging to record voids. We then developed a mouse model of incontinence by inducing hydrocephalus in mice. In addition to becoming frequent and incontinent, hydrocephalic mice had normal intracranial pressure and exhibited the other two stereotypical symptoms of NPH: gait impairment and cognitive dysfunction. Finally, we discovered a pathway from the prefrontal cortex to Barrington’s nucleus via neurotensin expressing neurons in the preoptic area of the hypothalamus. We found that ablating the medial prefrontal cortex or deleting inhibitory neuron from the preoptic area increases voiding. These experiments identify a critical pathway for normal bladder function and open the door for further cell-type and pathway-specific manipulation in this animal model of incontinence.

description: We investigated the effects of varying ischemia and survival times on CA1 neuronal loss. Histological analysis of the hippocampus was performed at 2, 7, 14, 28 and 90 days following 3, 5, 7, 10 and 13 minutes of global forebrain ischemia. Our results indicate that the ischemic maturation process extends beyond 7 days. Ten and thirteen minutes of ischemia produced a significant degree of cell loss by 7 days (70.53% and 83.25% respectively), while average cell death at 90 days survival was approximately 12% higher. Most strikingly, seven minutes of ischemia produced approximately 30% CA1 cell loss at 90 days compared to only 3% cell loss at 7 days, a nine-fold increase. No cell loss was observed at 2 and 7 days survival following 5 minutes of ischemia, but an average of 5.6% cell loss was observed at 3 months. Three minutes of ischemia produced no cell damage. Data collapsed over ischemic severity suggested that there may 2 rates of cell death evident in this study: (1) a rapid cell loss occurring within the first 7 days of ischemia and (2) a slow progressive cell loss occurring over weeks. Ten and thirteen minutes of ischemia possessed the rapid cell death, while 7 minutes appeared to display only slow progressive cell loss. The fact that the ischemic maturation process extends well beyond 7 days and that mild ischemia severities can produce significant cell loss at long survival times holds important implications for drug trials and our current knowledge of death mechanisms.

description: The rollout of the National Broadband Network in Australia will accelerate dramatic changes in pedagogy and access that have been underway since the advent of the Internet. Among the most important of these are the move away from bricks-and-mortar campuses towards global learning networks that share expertise and resources, the blurring of the virtual and the material and the rise of mobile learning (m-learning). When combined with the proliferation of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), m-learning will result in access to education becoming a universal human right.

description: Rat liver non-parenchymal epithelial cells were stably transfected with the following plasmids: (i) pRSVNeo containing a neomycin resistance gene (Neo) under control of the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) long terminal repeat element and (ii) pMT3 containing the Neo gene and the coding sequence of the polyoma middle T antigen (mT) under control of the SV40 enhancer region. Soft agar assays revealed no neoplastic transformation of cells expressing pRSVNeo plasmids, however overexpression of pMT3 plasmids generated a highly tumorigenic cell line. Two approaches were used to induce apoptosis in these cell lines, i.e. serum withdrawal and treatment with a chemotherapeutic drug, teniposide (VM26). The Neo cells were resistant to serum deprivation and sensitive to the VM26 treatment. In contrast, the highly transformed mT cells were very sensitive to the lack of growth factors but became extremely resistant to the VM26 treatment. These cells could arrest their growth and survive for 2 days in the presence of 10 $\mu$M VM26. Under the same experimental conditions, the viability of Neo cells dropped and they could only survive for a few hours. Analysis of several growth arrest and DNA-repair related proteins was performed and correlated with the cells' responsiveness to apoptosis. For example, in the VM26-resistant mT cells, the level of DNA repair-associated proteins was upregulated in response to the drug treatment. The results of this study clearly demonstrated that the mT protein brought about cellular phenotypic and metabolic changes, manifested not only as tumorigenic transformation, but also as a resistance to treatment with the chemotherapeutic drug, VM26.

description: Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) has elevated expression in over 90% of cancers. The key role of TERT is as the catalytic protein subunit of the telomerase complex. Increasing expression of telomerase works against constant telomere erosion by increasing telomere length and allows a tumor cell to evade senescence and apoptosis. Variation within TERT has been linked to increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) development, and differences in CRC prognosis. In this thesis, we examine whether single nucleotide changes along the TERT gene have any relation to all-cause mortality after CRC diagnosis. Additionally, due to the differences in molecular patterns in cancers of the ascending and descending colon, relevant single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) expression might vary based on the location of the primary tumor within the bowel. As a second aim, we examine whether the location of the tumor (ascending/ descending colon) influences TERT SNP survival associations. Finally, we examine if changes in the TERT gene influence telomere length. We found limited support that TERT SNPs may have an association with CRC survival. Similarly, we found no association between any TERT SNPs and overall or CRC-specific survival from CRC diagnosed in any region of the colon. There is some support for the hypothesis that TERT SNPs have an association with telomere length, though this is known to be polygenic.

description: Background Influenza infections induce considerable disease burden in young children. Biomarkers for the monitoring of disease activity at the point-of- care (POC) are currently lacking. Recent methodologies for fluorescence-based rapid testing have been developed to provide improved sensitivities with the initial diagnosis. The present study aims to explore the utility of second- generation rapid testing during longitudinal follow-up of influenza patients (Rapid Influenza Follow-up Testing = RIFT). Signal/control fluorescent readouts (Quantitative Influenza Follow-up Testing = QIFT) are evaluated as a potential biomarker for the monitoring of disease activity at the POC. Methods and Findings RIFT (SOFIA) and QIFT were performed at the POC and compared to blinded RT-PCR at the National Reference Centre for Influenza. From 10/2011-4/2013, a total of 2048 paediatric cases were studied prospectively; 273 cases were PCR-confirmed for influenza. During follow-up, RIFT results turned negative either prior to PCR (68%), or simultaneously (30%). The first negative RIFT occurred after a median of 8 days with a median virus load (VL) of 5.6×10∧3 copies/ml and cycle threshold of 37, with no evidence of viral rebound. Binning analysis revealed that QIFT differentiated accurately between patients with low, medium and high viral titres. QIFT increase/decrease showed 88% agreement (sensitivity = 52%, specificity = 95%) with VL increase/decrease, respectively. QIFT-based viral clearance estimates showed similar values compared to PCR-based estimates. Variations in viral clearance rates were lower in treated compared to untreated patients. The study was limited by use of non-invasive, semi-quantitative nasopharyngeal samples. VL measurements below the limit of detection could not be quantified reliably. Conclusions During follow-up, RIFT provides a first surrogate measure for influenza disease activity. A “switch” from positive to negative values may indicate a drop in viral load below a critical threshold, where rebound is no longer expected. QIFT may provide a useful tool for the monitoring of disease burden and viral clearance at the POC.

A data driven approach to a multilayer extreme learning machine
Creators: name: Tiema, Violet
Publisher: name: University of Iowa

Subjects: public abstract

description: In this thesis, the main focus is the classification problem as it relates to recognizing handwritten digits. Recent innovations in Machine Learning and its extensive applications in decision-making have made it an integral part of human lives. Handwritten Digit recognition is a very useful application that is seen in banks and even postal offices when scanning cheques and letters for written digits like zip codes or phone numbers. There are numerous algorithmic models and methods with a diverse architectures that have been used to classify and recognize digits as well as images.
description: This work will focus solely on numeral networks to solve our problem. Current industry algorithms of regression and classification techniques have been used to achieve a small testing error of about 0.35%. Our goal is to create a model that will be able to recognize and determine the handwritten digits from its image by using the concepts of Convolution Neural Networks as well as Extreme Learning machines. We also discuss how the goal of digit recognition can be extended to letters and an individual’s handwriting as well as whole colored images.
description: We propose a data driven approach to optimizing the training process while still maintaining the desired high accuracy rates. We attempt this by using of artificial neural networks that make use of randomized weights and biases on feed forward multi-layer networks where the weights and biases are easily solved rather than being constantly updated by back-propagation.
description: We further study the training process by exploring the idea of reconstruction error rates as a metric. By use of a convolution neural network, we extract features that can then be trained to recognize whole images. This reconstruction metric can help us better understand what happens between the layers instead of the proverbial black box.

description: E-business has been booming for years; however, transaction security is still the biggest worry in the E-business world. Public key infrastructure is introduced to protect electronic transactions, wherein digital signing plays an important role that provides authentication and non-repudiation services. A smart card-based hardware security module is able to provide signing service with strong tamper-resistant and mobility. However, since smart cards do not have I/O interfaces, a user may blindly sign a document that has been altered by a malicious application. Since mobile phones have user-friendly interfaces, strong computing power and short-distance wireless links, etc, they could be promising candidates for signing service. Some mobile phone-based signing solutions have been proposed as alternatives to smart cards. However, most of these solutions, including Zurich University's SIM based solution and Vodafone's mPKI, stick to GSM mobile networks. So far, there is no uniform standard for signing solution. In my thesis, a mobile phone-based signing solution that is based on the Personal Transaction Protocol (PTP) defined by MeT is proposed. However, the original PTP is designed to work in a personal environment, where all devices are trusted. My thesis proposed an improved PTP to allow it to work in a public environment. In addition, J2ME platform is chosen to be the development platform of the proposed solution. The J2ME's applicability is discussed according to the PTP server's development requirements. Finally, a PTP server's prototype is designed and developed to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution.

description: The present study explores the experiences of 12 gay and queer males within the sport of marathoning. Working within an anti-positivist paradigm that draws on queer and poststructuralist gender theories, as well as a Foucauldian perspective of the body, I investigate subjects' discursive constructions of sexuality, gender, and the body within the context of this individual sport milieu. Gathered through guided conversations, written personal stories, and my reflexive research journal, subjects' narratives were analyzed thematically and then submitted to a discourse analysis. While revealing the subjects' recitation of dominant discourses regarding gay sexuality, the analysis also suggested marathoning as a "queer positive" space for the participants. Analysis also uncovered some resistance to dominant constructions of sporting masculinity, but also an emergent masculinity specific to the marathon context that re/produced a traditional gender order. Though interpellated by dominant discourses, subjects also "blurred" the traditional rigid boundaries of sexuality and gender binaries. Finally, the subjects' discursive constructions of their bodies and marathon practices were also considered. I have suggested that queer marathon bodies can be considered as "hybrid" creations through the adoption of subject positions within dominant discourses of physical activity, running, and popular representations of gay male physicality. In focusing specifically on an individual sporting space, this study adds a unique perspective to the growing body of knowledge related to gay men in sport.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the use of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) with childhood sexual abuse survivors (CSA) and their partners. Ten couples participated in this exploratory study. In assessing outcomes the concept of the reliable change index was utilized to determine whether the treatment did have an impact on couples over the course of the therapy. Qualitative coding strategies were utilized to relate the process of change in couples to the identified outcomes. A case study replication methodology was utilized to examine the use of EFT with these couples thematically. Half of the couples in this study reported clinically significant increases in mean relationship satisfaction over the course of the therapy. Similarly, half of the CSA survivors reported clinically significant decreases in trauma symptoms on a self-report measure and a statistically significant decrease in trauma symptoms was identified on a standardized interview measure of trauma symptoms in the group of survivors. Very little change was identified over the course of therapy on a self-report measure of attachment. Thematic analyses identified numerous areas where trauma survivors were challenged in fully engaging in the therapy process. In particular, trauma symptoms such as affect dysregulation and hypervigilance, shame, anger, emotional numbing and dissociation were identified to play a role in the challenges that survivors experienced in fully engaging in the EFT therapy process. The EFT model and therapist behaviours were also analyzed observationally and results of these thematic analyses yielded clinical recommendations for working with CSA survivors and their partners in EFT for traumatized couples. Recommendations for future study were articulated.

description: Im letzten Jahrzehnt wurde eine interdisziplinäre, holistische Herangehensweise entwickelt, die auf lokaler, regionaler, nationaler und globaler Ebene arbeitet, um die menschliche Gesundheit ganzheitlich unter Einbeziehung der Tiergesundheit und einer gesunden Umwelt zu schützen: der One Health-Ansatz. Die aktuelle Corona-Pandemie hat dieses Thema verstärkt in den Fokus gerückt. Ziel dieses Ansatzes ist es, "optimale Ergebnisse für Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden zu erzielen unter Berücksichtigung der Zusammenhänge zwischen Menschen, Tieren, Pflanzen und ihrer gemeinsamen Umwelt" (One Health Commission 2020). Hierbei wird auch die Integration von Themen der biologischen Vielfalt immer entscheidender. Eine Erweiterung des One Health-Ansatzes durch Verknüpfung mit Kenntnissen über den Zustand der Natur und der Umweltqualität gewinnt in Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft an Bedeutung. Eine künftig noch stärkere Kooperation mit den Politikfeldern Ökologie, Klima- und Umweltschutz ist wünschenswert.

description: Over the past decade, an interdisciplinary, holistic approach has been developed, working on local, regional, national and global level to protect human health considering animal health and environmental health: The One Health approach. Under the current Corona pandemic, the One Health approach became a focal point of interest. To reach the goal of "optimal health and well-being outcomes recognizing the interconnections between people, animals, plants and their shared environment" (One Health Commission, 2020) an improved integration of biodiversity becomes more crucial. Linking the One Health approach closer with knowledge about the state of nature and quality of the environment is gaining importance in science, politics and society. A closer cooperation with the policy fields of ecology, climate and environmental protection is desirable.

description: The script supports Chapter 5 subsection 2 titled: “Trypanocide advancements and challenges in Uganda” from my PhD thesis titled: Exploring trypanocide resistance: Lessons from Uganda (2024). This describes data (referenced as “trypCounterfeit”) were the quality of trypanocides i.e., diminazene aceturate (DA), isometamidium chloride (ISM) and homidium bromide (HB) are descriptly presented. The samples were collected from 45 drugshops and subjected to visual inspection against counterfeits. Using the USP and the International Pharmacopoeia as a guide, a customized visual schematic screening flowchart was developed and customized for the drugs inspected since Uganda lacks a local pharmacopoeia for reference. Products were compared against information available online at the National Drug Authority (NDA) registar for 2018 and 2023. Items which passed all the visual inspection criterion on origin, age, indications, dosaging, batch numbers, brand, manufacturers address, factory address through a manual and digital inspection of the labelling information were clustered into standard or suscipious counterfeits. This approach was important since its practical and cheaper compared to analytical techniques which are capital intensive. The R script uses the pacman, party, rio and tidyverse packages. Information is described as appropriate, and visualizations were made based on location and having an upto date NDA registration status at the time of the survey.
A linear solar cell array for prolonged and high-value light capture

description: A challenge is emerging for utilities having a significant reliance on solar power generation. Such a reliance leads to substantial solar power generation in the midday hours and insufficient solar power generation during the late-day hours. This yields high demand and an upswing in electrical power prices at the end of the day when the solar generating capacity is low. The upswing is titled the "Duck Curve" and it is a growing concern—particularly for California. This work tackles this challenge by introducing an engineered solar cell array that traps light over a broadened range of incident angles, which leads to increased late-day solar power generation. The proposed U-Groove Array consists of a periodic array of U-shaped grooves that are parallel and macroscopic in size. This work shows that a U-Groove Array, when engineered with the appropriate orientation and aspect ratio, promotes multiple reflection and absorption processes for low-angle light. This broadens the duration over which the array collects solar power, extending the generation into the high-value evening hours. The accumulated value of the solar power generated by the U-Groove Array is simulated and compared to that of two contemporary structures: a standard array of flat solar cells and an analogous V-Groove Array (which has been the subject of numerous recent investigations). It is shown that future implementations of the UGroove Array can outperform these contemporary structures and yield improved solar power generation

description: The size of the tank in solar water pumping systems is often roughly estimated in conventional design procedures. Consequently, problems such as the heavy financial burden of an over-sized tank or, on the contrary, a waste of water resources due to overtop spillage in the case of a too small cistern are, unfortunately, quite common. These problems lead to discontentment among users when they have to deal with periods of privation and/or economic losses. The analysis of the behaviour of the different components of a solar system made possible the realization of computerized models, which have been later validated with data gathered in the field. In order to simulate a wide range of systems, the software developed in this thesis offers the required flexibility to input the parameters of the equipment to study as well as the climatic data for the expected operational environment. The software permits the prediction of performance of new systems and the diagnosis of existing ones.
