description: The famous result of Landesman and Lazer [10] dealt with resonance at a simple eigenvalue. Soon after publication of [10], Williams [14] gave an extension for repeated eigenvalues. The conditions in Williams [14] are rather restrictive, and no examples were ever given. We show that seemingly different classical result by Lazer and Leach [11], on forced harmonic oscillators at resonance, provides an example for this theorem. The article by Williams [14] also contained a shorter proof. We use a similar approach to study resonance for $2 \times 2$ systems. We derive conditions for existence of solutions, which turned out to depend on the spectral properties of the linear part.

description: When some modules in an old PV system are damaged, it is possible to change damaged
modules for different type modules because of unavailable of the same type modules. If short circuit current
“Isc” of different type modules are smaller than that of other modules in an array, and bypass diodes of
different type modules are damaged, different type modules have hazard by reverse voltage. In the worst case,
different type modules may be fired by reverse voltage and high temperature. To prevent the worst case, we
have investigated the occurrence conditions of reverse voltage by an experimental study. And we identified that
how Isc of different type module and difference of string Voc influence the occurrence conditions of reverse
voltage. Moreover, we studied the influence by MTTP method of PCSes, too. Because operating voltage of
different type module is decided by not only IV curve of the module but also MPPT method.

description: Corrections to elastic moduli, including the effective shear modulus, of a solid neutron star crust due to electron screening are calculated. At any given mass density, the crust is modelled as a body-centred cubic Coulomb crystal of fully ionized atomic nuclei of a single type with a polarizable charge-compensating electron background. Motion of the nuclei is neglected. The electron polarization is described by a simple Thomas-Fermi model of exponential electron screening. The results of numerical calculations are fitted by convenient analytic formulae. They should be used for precise neutron star oscillation modelling, a rapidly developing branch of stellar seismology.

description: We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, a photonic realization of a Sawtooth lattice. This special lattice exhibits two spectral bands, with one of them experiencing a complete collapse to a highly degenerate flat band for a special set of inter-site coupling constants. We report the ob- servation of different transport regimes, including strong transport inhibition due to the appearance of the non-diffractive flat band. Moreover, we excite localized Shockley surfaces states, residing in the gap between the two linear bands.

description: Nonequilibrium thermodynamics (NET) investigates processes in systems out of global equilibrium. On a mesoscopic level, it provides a statistical dynamic description of various complex phenomena such as chemical reactions, ion transport, diffusion, thermochemical, thermomechanical and mechanochemical fluxes. In the present review, we introduce a mesoscopic stochastic formulation of NET by analyzing entropy production in several simple examples. The fundamental role of nonequilibrium steady-state cycle kinetics is emphasized. The statistical mechanics of Onsager's reciprocal relations in this context is elucidated. Chemomechanical, thermomechanical, and enzyme-catalyzed thermochemical energy transduction processes are discussed. It is argued that mesoscopic stochastic NET provides a rigorous mathematical basis of fundamental concepts needed for understanding complex processes in chemistry, physics and biology, and which is also relevant for nanoscale technological advances.

description: Photovoltaic (PV) modules with textured glass are claimed to minimize reflection losses through an
enhanced light-trapping mechanism, thus increasing performances with respect to analogous modules with smooth
glass. This work compares a group of textured glass polycrystalline silicon PV modules with five groups of PV
modules of the same technology but with smooth glass. They are part of the outdoor PV test facility of Airport
Bolzano Dolomiti (ABD) and connected to the grid through commercial inverters. The comparison aims at detecting
and quantifying the effective improvement of the performance and of the energy yield of the textured glass modules
at different angles of incidence under real operating conditions, using parameters such as performance ratio and array
yield. Furthermore, the evaluation takes into account different conditions of sunlight, from very clear sky situations to
unfavorable sunlight levels (high percentage of diffuse irradiance). The results are compared with laboratory test
outcomes provided by the modules manufacturer.

description: Mental and physical health are equally vital for every human being. Mental health is an essential factor of overall health at all stages of human life. Stress, anxiety, and depression (SAD) symptoms are common among university students in many parts of the world, affecting their quality of life and academic performance and threatening the future of the youth. This research study describes the methodology for carrying out a systematic review to investigate the factors associated with SAD among undergraduate university students in Sri Lanka and Thailand.
 Through empirical readings, secondary data was collected for this study. Through the research questionnaires based on six variables developed using the empirical readings and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), primary data was collected. The questionnaires were designed in three different languages: Sinhala, English, and Thai, with personal, academic, and 5-point Likert scale performance questions ranging from 1 ("none") to 5 ("extreme"). 157 responses from Sri Lanka and 158 responses from Thailand were received, for a total of 315 responses. The quantitative approach and the Survey method were used, as well as a cross-sectional study approach. IBM SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) Version 26 was used to test the data using different methods such as Cronbach’s Alpha Value, Multi Co- linearity Diagnostic, Sample Adequacy Test, Pearson Correlations, Discrimination Validity, and Multiple Regression Analysis.
 The findings from the empirical readings showed that there are factors unique to university students. Such factors are sadness, academic strain, financial problems, daily activities, dietary patterns, and abusive behaviors. Through the primary data analysis, it was found there are associations between academic, psychological, and lifestyle factors, and SAD. In addition, a detailed country comparison was performed to have a better understanding based on each proxy question. The findings of this systematic review of the factors associated with SAD among undergraduate students at universities will help in informing and guiding healthcare practitioners, decision-makers, and policymakers in both countries. The findings will also highlight research gaps and help prioritize future investigations.

description: The low light performance of solar modules is of high importance for operating cost effective PV
systems, particularly during winter season in Europe. In this paper the low light performance of solar cells and
modules is investigated with a simple approach. Only three parameters (1) the series resistance, (2) the shunt
resistance and (3) the ideality factor are used similar as it was already shown by Grunow et al. in 2004. All three
parameters show an explicit correlation to low light behaviour and are therewith potential performance indicators.
With this parameter set relative efficiency curves are calculated and compared to measurements on cell level. On
module level EL images are taken while the current level is varied. In this way cells with poor weak light
performance may be identified in a simple and fast way.

description: The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) yields information about our Universe at around 380 000 years after the Big Bang (BB). Due to the weak interaction of the neutrinos with matter the Cosmic Neutrino Background (CNB) should give information about a much earlier time of our Universe, around one second after the Big Bang. Probably the most promising method to `see' the Cosmic Neutrino Background is the capture of the electron neutrinos from the Background by Tritium, which then decays into 3He and an electron with the energy of the the Q-value = 18.562 keV plus the electron neutrino rest mass. The `KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino' (KATRIN) experiment, which is in preparation, seems presently the most sensitive proposed method for measuring the electron antineutrino mass. At the same time KATRIN can also look by the reaction: electron neutrino (~1.95 Kelvin) + 3H --> 3He + e- (with the energy Q = 18.6 keV + electron neutrino mass). The capture of the Cosmic Background Neutrinos (CNB) should show in the electron spectrum as a peak by the electron neutrino rest mass above Q. Here the possibility to see the CNB with KATRIN is studied. A detection of the CNB by KATRIN seems not to be possible at the moment. But KATRIN should be able to determine an upper limit for the local electron neutrino density of the CNB.

description: The maximum power of thin film modules (a-Si, CdTe and CIGS) is strongly dependent on the module
history and measurement type. The power of CIGS and CdTe modules may increase when they are exposed to
radiation and decrease when they are stored in the dark. The power of a-Si modules from production decreases under
light and increases with increasing temperature. For an indoor power measurement at STC which corresponds to the
outdoor value it is necessary to define a preconditioning procedure which is specific for the technology under test.
Here a bias preconditioning is compared to the standard light soaking and to the methods suggested from the
producers. For a final determination of the most reliable preconditioning procedure, the resulting maximum power is
compared with outdoor power measurements at STC. The capacitive effects of the modules are also investigated.

description: The second class of high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs), iron-based pnictides and chalcogenides, necessarily contain Fe$_2$$X_2$ ("$X$" refers to a pnictogen or a chalcogen element) layers, just like the first class of HTSCs which possess the essential CuO$_2$ sheets. So far, dozens of iron-based HTSCs, classified into nine groups, have been discovered. In this article, the crystal-chemistry aspects of the known iron-based superconductors are reviewed and summarized by employing "hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB)" concept. Based on these understandings, we propose an alternative route to exploring new iron-based superconductors via rational structural design.

description: Coalescence is an important hydrodynamic event that frequently takes place in nature as well as in industry. Here we provide an experimental study on short time dynamics of water coalescence, particularly when a water droplet comes in contact with a flat water surface, by utilizing high-resolution high-penetration ultrafast X-ray microscopy. Our results demonstrate a possibility that an extreme curvature difference between a drop and a flat surface can significantly modify the hydrodynamics of water coalescence, which is unexpected in the existing theory. We suggest a plausible explanation for why coalescence can be modified by an extreme curvature difference.

description: Transient preconditioning refers to a light induced performance change in CIGS which occurs and
relaxes on a millisecond to seconds timescale. This effect appears to be distinct from the better known and more
persistent preconditioning which typically takes several hours or days to relax. In this paper some properties of this
phenomenon are explored including the variation of if the effect with voltage and temperature. The consequences for
repeatable and accurate device measurement are explored. In particular the transient rise in photocurrent during
measurements using a pulsed simulator can be successfully eradicated using voltage preconditioning when there is no
gap between the preconditioning voltage being applied and the start of the illumination pulse.

description: As a candidate bound for the Binary Black Hole (BBH) merger events detected by LIGO/Virgo, Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) provide a useful tool to investigate the primordial curvature perturbations on small scales. Using the GWTC-1 to GWTC-3 catalogs, under the scenario that PBHs originate from large primordial curvature perturbations on small scales during inflationary epoch, we for the first time reconstruct the power spectrum of primordial curvature perturbations on small scales. It is found that the value of the amplitude of the primordial power spectrum is enhanced to $\mathcal{O}(10^{-2})$ on scales $\mathcal{O}(1)$ pc. This may imply the validity of PBH as a possible BBH merger candidate.

description: Strong interaction between light and a single quantum emitter is essential to a great number of applications, including single photon sources. Microcavities and plasmonic antennas have been used frequently to enhance these interactions through the Purcell effect. Both can provide large emission enhancements: the cavity typically through long photon lifetimes (high $Q$), and the antenna mostly through strong field enhancement (low mode volume $V$). In this work, we demonstrate that a hybrid system, which combines a cavity and a dipolar antenna, can achieve stronger emission enhancements than the cavity or antenna alone. We show that such systems can be used as a versatile platform to tune the bandwidth of enhancement to any desired value, while simultaneously boosting emission enhancement. Our fully consistent analytical model allows to identify the underlying mechanisms of boosted emission enhancement in hybrid systems, which include radiation damping and constructive interference between multiple-scattering paths. Additionally, we find excellent agreement between strongly boosted enhancement spectra from our analytical model and from finite-element simulations on a realistic cavity-antenna system. Finally, we demonstrate that hybrid systems can simultaneously boost emission enhancement and maintain a near-unity outcoupling efficiency into a single cavity decay channel, such as a waveguide.

description: In this study, we have developed the load cycle bending machine which is performed by repeatedly
bending load at four points and conducts load cycle bending tests, in order to consider how to accelerate thermal cycling
test (TCT). It was found that failure mode of load cycling bending test depends on stress direction and temperature and
that failure mode is different between TCT and load cycle bending test. It was possible to accelerate open mode failure by
load cycle bending test. For the analysis in load cycle bending test, finite element method (FEM) simulations were used
to evaluate stress of cells and interconnectors. It was found that displacement by the bending load is more dominant than
thermal deformation in modulue and both effects on cells are smaller than those on interconnectors. The maximum stress
point of interconnectors was close to the bending stress point and the stress level was greater at higher temperature.
Results of load cycle bending test were in close agreement with FEM simulations.

description: We present the first measure of Fe and Na abundances in NGC 6362, a low-mass globular cluster where first and second generation stars are fully spatially mixed. A total of 160 member stars (along the red giant branch and the red horizontal branch) have been observed with the multi-object spectrograph FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope. We find that the cluster has an iron abundance of [Fe/H]=--1.09$\pm$0.01 dex, without evidence of intrinsic dispersion. On the other hand, the [Na/Fe] distribution turns out to be intrinsically broad and bimodal. The Na-poor and Na-rich stars populate, respectively, the bluest and the reddest red giant branches detected in the color-magnitude diagrams including the U filter. The red giant branch is composed of a mixture of first and second generation stars in a similar proportion, while almost all the red horizontal branch stars belong to the first cluster generation. Until now, NGC 6362 is the least massive globular cluster where both the photometric and spectroscopic signatures of multiple populations have been detected.

description: Gaia data is used in many ways by many scientists and the diversity of the research topics is dazzling, making it sometimes seem like there could be a billion ways of using Gaia data. While Gaia’s impact mapping the Milky Way might be obvious, Gaia’s data has been used closer to home as well, and further out beyond the Milky Way. A full overview of the many results Gaia data helped with is impossible to make, but a taste of the diversity of topics affected by Gaia is aimed at here. Starting from the Sun we will move out into the Solar System, further out into the Milky Way, and then beyond, all the while exploring the different ways Gaia data has been used so far and pointing to existing outreach resources to learn more about these topics.

description: The stringing and the lamination processes in module production are the most critical process steps,
and non-suitable processes are often responsible for irreparable module long-term failures. Understanding these
processes will help to take measures in favor of module reliability. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the
thermo-mechanical module stability in thermal cycling (TC) tests. In order to accelerate testing the TC test according
to IEC 61215 has been divided additional to standard in hot and cold sections.
The results show the module power degradation of the hot section (25 to 85°C) is almost twice higher than the cold
section (25 to -40°C). One of the reasons is probably the temperature dependency of the coefficient of thermal
expansion of the materials. And the other reason could be the current flow of the hot section, which is a part of IEC
standards. Even without intending to replace the standard IEC thermal cycling test, this approach may help to
accelerate more the testing for process optimization and new material introduction purposes.
The second part of this study is dealing with the remaining encapsulation layer thickness post lamination which turns
out to be very important regarding module power degradation in thermal cycling. Thicker encapsulant reduces the
actual stress of the cells, which is probably mainly driven by the glass in the thermal cycling. The reason for that is
that the encapsulant acts as a buffer between the glass and the solar cells. Around 70% of the thickness of a
glass/back sheet module comes from the glass. The glass seems to be the main driving factor in thermal cycling
regarding module thermo-mechanical stability. However, the optimum encapsulant thickness must be adjusted in
term of costs, module long-term reliability and performance for each module design.

description: The Gaia mission has produced an extraordinary amount of high quality photometric data for the whole sky and has contributed dramatically to advancing our understanding of the Milky Way. In particular, its data can be used to calibrate population synthesis models of our galaxy, aiming to reduce the gap between simulations and observations. We present here a study of the star formation rate (SFR) of the Galactic disc based on data from the third data release of the Gaia mission. We select a sample of stars within a cylinder of the extended Solar Neighborhood with radius 200 pc and spanning 1.3 kpc above and below the midplane of the Galaxy. We split the sample in 28 slices located at different heights from the Plane and we build synthetic color-magnitude diagrams in 16 age bins for each slice with the TRILEGAL population synthesis model, which includes state-of-the-art stellar models and a detailed treatment of interacting binaries. Using the Bayesian color-magnitude diagram fitting tool we developed, we determine simultaneously the SFR in all age bins and all slices, and we compute the scale heights of the Galactic disc in each age bin. We find that our results are compatible with previous ones, although we achieve a better age resolution. Most importantly, we obtain a clear picture of the increase with age of the scale heights, from about 50 pc in the youngest age bins to about 500 pc in the oldest ones. These results will be included in the geometric model of the Galaxy implemented in TRILEGAL, leading to a significant improvement in the simulated Galactic disc structure.

description: Potential-induced degradation (PID) can occur when PV modules are mounted in a string with a high
system potential (up to ±1000V). It is well known that leakage currents which flow between the module connectors
and ground can indicate the progress of power degradation of the module. This can be helpful to evaluate the
effectiveness and significance of accelerated aging tests e.g. Bias Damp Heat tests in a climatic chamber. However,
not all leakage currents contribute to a power loss. In this study the leakage current pathways and their magnitudes of
CIGS thin film modules will be identified depending on the climatic conditions and their effect on degradation is
evaluated. Furthermore, different foils are used in the modules, so the influence of the conductivity and the effect on
the power loss is investigated. This is necessary to be able to predict the power loss of PV modules in dependence of
outdoor conditions by measuring leakage currents.

description: The interaction of high intensity laser radiation with mass-limited target exhibits significant enhancement of the ion acceleration when the target is surrounded by an underdense plasma corona, as seen in numerical simulations. The self-generated quasistatic magnetic field squeezes the corona causing the intensification of a subsequent Coulomb explosion of the target. The electric field intensification at the target edges and plasma resonance effects result in the generation of characteristic density holes and further contributes to the ion acceleration.The interaction of high intensity laser radiation with mass-limited target exhibits significant enhancement of the ion acceleration when the target is surrounded by an underdense plasma corona, as seen in numerical simulations.

description: Future Photovoltaic has one major challenge - reducing costs and increasing module power by constant
or better module reliability [1]. Thus over the past years a drastic decrease of module prices is observed whereas the
module power changes to higher classes. This indicates that the common used materials (e.g. frames, solder ribbon,
wafer, metallization etc.) join their physical limits. This contains different challenges regarding reliability. For future
applications such requirements will be e.g.:
• Smaller frames vs. high loads
• Thinner glass substrates vs high impacts
• Smaller interconnection area vs. higher current density and higher thermal dissipation
• Smaller ribbons vs higher cell breakage rate & higher soldering challenges
This represents only a small number of the challenges the Photovoltaic industry is facing in the future. The aim and
role of PV industry is to realize efficient and reliable modules. This paper will present detailed data on soldering
failure modes during string assembling and reliability testing, and the long-term mechanical and electrical stability of
the solder joints and their impact on the long-term efficiency of the modules. The data will show that different failure
modes have different effects on the quality of interconnections as well as on the reliability of the modules.

description: The forward-backward asymmetry ($A_{FB}$) in the Drell-Yan process $pp/p\bar p \to Z/γ^* \to \ell^+\ell^-$ is sensitive to the proton structure information. Such information has been factorized into well-defined proton structure parameters which can be regarded as experimental observables. In this paper, we extract the structure parameters from the $A_{FB}$ distributions reported by the CMS collaboration in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV, and by the D0 collaboration in $p\bar p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV. It is the first time that the unique parton information in the $A_{FB}$ spectrum can be decoupled from the electroweak calculation and measured as standalone observables, which can be used as new data constraints in the global quantum chromodynamics analysis of the parton distribution functions (PDFs). Although the parton information in the $pp$ and $p\bar p$ collisions are different, and the precisions of the measured structure parameters are statistically limited, the results from both the hadron colliders indicate that the down quark contribution might be higher than the theoretical predictions with the current PDFs at the relevant momentum fraction range.

description: In this paper we present the analysis of the causes that caused the destruction of photovoltaic modules
cover glass in the group of modules randomly located in the photovoltaic field. Operator of photovoltaic system
excluded the possibility of damage of these modules by impact of foreign objects because of their location in the
photovoltaic field and because of no records of hail or similar events in this area. Damage of the cover glass in
analyzed module appears to be adequate of safety glass cracking - uneven web of cracks in the glass with six central
location with a different structure cracking. In the three of these areas is possible to find the area with the browning of
the surface on the photovoltaic cells main contacts. This article also includes summarization of method which is
possible to use for analyses of photovoltaic modules state.
Refined comparison theorems for the Dirac equation with spin and pseudo--spin symmetry in $d$ dimensions

description: The classic comparison theorem of quantum mechanics states that if two potentials are ordered then the corresponding energy eigenvalues are similarly ordered, that is to say if $V_a\le V_b$, then $E_a\le E_b$. Such theorems have recently been established for relativistic problems even though the discrete spectra are not easily characterized variationally. In this paper we improve on the basic comparison theorem for the Dirac equation with spin and pseudo--spin symmetry in $d\ge 1$ dimensions. The graphs of two comparison potentials may now cross each other in a prescribed manner implying that the energy values are still ordered. The refined comparison theorems are valid for the ground state in one dimension and for the bottom of an angular momentum subspace in $d>1$ dimensions. For instance in a simplest case in one dimension, the condition $V_a\le V_b$ is replaced by $U_a\le U_b$, where $U_i(x)=\int_0^x V_i(t)dt$, $x\in[0,\ \infty)$, and $i=a$ or $b$.

description: The serious pricing pressure in the manufacturing of photovoltaic (PV) modules causes an immediate need for a reduction of production costs. The time limiting process in PV manufacturing lines is the lamination process. Today, the predominately used embedding material in PV modules is ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), which needs to undergo a crosslinking step during the lamination process in order to achieve the required polymer properties. Investigations on the thermo-mechanical properties of EVA with dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that already at much shorter crosslinking times than usually used stable values can be achieved. Due to these findings, the request to reduce the lamination time arises. Therefore the long time performance of mini-modules manufactured at different lamination times (1, 3, 5 and 10 min. crosslinking time) stored under various ageing conditions (accelerated under damp heat (DH) conditions with or without irradiation, on the roof and in the dark) was investigated. Besides the monitoring of visual changes, the degree of crosslinking was evaluated non-destructively by Raman spectroscopy to trace the post-processes initiated by the various ageing treatments.
