description: To address the problem of the shortage of neutron detectors used in radiation portal monitors (RPMs), caused by the 3He supply crisis, research on a cadmium-based capture-gated fast neutron detector is presented in this paper. The detector is composed of many 1 cm * 1 cm * 20 cm plastic scintillator cuboids covered by 0.1 mm thick film of cadmium. The detector uses cadmium to absorb thermal neutrons and produce capture gamma-rays to indicate the detection of neutrons, and uses plastic scintillator to moderate neutrons and register gamma-rays. This design removes the volume competing relationship in traditional 3He counter-based fast neutron detectors, which hinders enhancement of the neutron detection efficiency. Detection efficiency of 21.66 +- 1.22% has been achieved with a 40.4 cm * 40.4 cm * 20 cm overall detector volume. This detector can measure both neutrons and gamma-rays simultaneously. A small detector (20.2 cm * 20.2 cm * 20 cm) demonstrated a 3.3 % false alarm rate for a 252Cf source with a neutron yield of 1841 n/s from 50 cm away within 15 seconds measurement time. It also demonstrated a very low (< 0.06%) false alarm rate for a 3.21 * 105 Bq 137Cs source. This detector offers a potential single-detector replacement for both neutron and the gamma-ray detectors in RPM systems.

The construction of femininity in the popular cultural text Avatar
Creators: name: McDonald, Candace

description: In this thesis, the findings of an in-depth study of how femininity is constructed in the popular cultural text Avatar are discussed. It is argued that popular cultural texts may have the potential to play a pivotal role in the identity construction of impressionable women. It is posited that women are influenced by such texts, which are considered to cultivate their attitudes and beliefs. Thus, the way in which femininity is constructed in these texts could empower women who may have limiting and stereotypical notions of femininity. Qualitative research methods are used to gain a deeper understanding of how femininity is constructed in the film Avatar. Themes regarding femininity are explored using textual analysis. It is postulated that femininity can be divided into four main themes: autonomous women (AW), authoritative power (AP), women challenging stereotypical traits (WS) and women displaying intelligence (I). These themes can be divided into various indicators. Indicators for the theme of autonomous women (AW), for example, include women being portrayed as assertive (A) and women being commanding (C). Indicators for the theme authoritative power (AP) include women having decision-making power (D) and being influential (I). Additionally, indicators for the theme women challenging stereotypical traits (WS) include aggressive physicality (A) and patronising (P) and lastly, the indicator for the theme women displaying intelligence (I) includes women being knowledgeable (K). It was found that femininity is portrayed in a liberal manner throughout Avatar. In this study, three main female characters are analysed in order to see how femininity is constructed. For future studies, it is recommended that all the female characters in the film Avatar be analysed, in order to gain an in-depth understanding of how femininity is represented throughout the film. Having a larger sample size will increase the exploration of how femininity is constructed. Additionally, quantitative and qualitative methods could be utilised in order to gain an in-depth interpretation of how femininity is constructed. Furthermore, an increased number of indicators could be utilised to analyse the way in which femininity is portrayed in order to give a broader view on how femininity is being constructed.

description: We present a new model that extends the Standard Model (SM) with the local B+L symmetry, and point out that the lightest new fermion $ζ$, introduced to cancel anomalies and stabilized automatically by the B+L symmetry, can serve as the cold dark matter candidate. We study constraints on the model from Higgs measurements, electroweak precision measurements as well as the relic density and direct detections of the dark matter. Numerical results reveal that the pseudo-vector coupling of $ζ$ with $Z$ and the Yukawa coupling with the SM Higgs are highly constrained by the latest results of LUX, while there are viable parameter space that could satisfy all the constraints and give testable predictions.

A simple model of Bose-Einstein condensation of interacting particles

description: A simple model of Bose-Einstein condensation of interacting particles is proposed. It is shown that in the condensate state the dependence of thermodynamic quantities on the interaction constant does not allow an expansion in powers of the coupling constant. Therefore it is impossible to pass to the Einstein model of condensation in an ideal Bose gas by means of a limiting passage, setting the interaction constant to zero. The account for the interaction between particles eliminates difficulties in the description of condensation available in the model of an ideal gas, which are connected with fulfillment of thermodynamic relations and an infinite value of the particle number fluctuation in the condensate phase.

description: In agricultural landscapes, bees face a variety of stressors, including insecticides and poor-quality food. Although both stressors individually have been shown to affect bumblebee health negatively, few studies have focused on stressor interactions, a scenario expected in intensively used agricultural landscapes. Using the bumblebee Bombus terrestris, a key pollinator in agricultural landscapes, we conducted a fully factorial laboratory experiment starting at nest initiation. We assessed the effects of food quality and insecticides, alone and in interaction, on health traits at various levels, some of which have been rarely studied. Pollen with a diluted nutrient content (low quality) reduced ovary size and delayed colony development. Wing asymmetry, indicating developmental stress, was increased during insecticide exposure and interactions with poor food, whereas both stressors reduced body size. Both stressors and their interaction changed the workerś chemical profile and reduced worker interactions and the immune response. Our findings suggest that insecticides combined with nutritional stress reduce bumblebee health at the individual and colony levels, thus possibly affecting colony performance, such as development and reproduction, and the stability of plant–pollinator networks. The synergistic effects highlight the need of combining stressors in risk assessments and when studying the complex effects of anthropogenic stressors on health outcomes.

PV Module Design, Manufacture, Performance and Reliability

description: 35th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1244-1246
description: A typical photovoltaic power plant is composed by photovoltaic modules connected both serially and
parallelly. This special architecture makes it extremely difficult to inspect performance at module-level. We are
developing an intelligent, remote and automatic inspection solution to solve this problem by adopting both Internet of
Things technologies and big-data analysis. In this research, we deployed a novel power line communication technology
on a vintage power plant about 19 years to collect operating data on module-level. Meanwhile, performance of each
module was measured through professional equipment. Through statistical analysis of dynamic operating data of each
module and comparison with static performance data, we found that there was a correlation. This result indicates that
we may be able to develop a big-data approach to supersede the traditional way of inspecting module performance. In
addition, the performance data we obtained from this old power plant showed varying degrees of performance
degradation. This difference not only displays the importance of module-level data to power plant performance analysis,
but also helps to improve the traditional model of photovoltaic power plant performance prediction under the premise
of uniform degradation rate.
The grace of flight (a novella) & The shape of the past: memory, loss and exile in Michael Ondaatje's Divisadero
Creators: name: Clifford, Samantha Katherine
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis consists of two related components: a creative component and an accompanying exegesis. My novella, titled The Grace of Flight, depicts the physical and emotional journey home for eternal traveller Luca who returns to Tasmania after the loss of his father, where he must face not only his estranged sister Charlotte, but also his past. An unlikely friendship with his neighbour in his now home of Buenos Aires, helps Luca to understand the value of home and the importance of family. The novella combines themes of memory, familial bonds and loss, played out in two distinctly different locales: Luca's small coastal hometown of Oyster Cove and the historical barrio of San Telmo in Buenos Aires in which Luca has found both love and a new home. The accompanying exegesis examines the relationship between memory and narrative form in Michael Ondaatje's 2007 novel Divisadero, as well as the related representations of trauma and exile. Its first chapter is concerned with the representation of memory in literature, suggesting that the past and memory are necessarily incomplete and dislocated, and cannot be subjected to chronological linearity in literary narratives. With a focus on the narrative fragment, it draws from postmodern insights into totality and form and discusses Ondaatje's novel as a 'fiction of memory' whose representation seeks to mirror the nature of memory itself. The recurrent themes of grief and loss in Ondaatje's work inform the second chapter of this thesis, in particular the ways in which these emotional experiences can be seen to influence narrative structure. In their roles as biographers, historians and archaeologists, Ondaatje's protagonists seek resolution to the respective pasts of their subjects, but simultaneously circle and tend to their own individual losses, affording a circularity and complexity of form. Considering the concept of Freud's 'talking cure' as the logic for the narrative's distinctly ruptured form, this chapter suggests that the hyper-emotional states of both loss and trauma demand a similarly erratic form in narrative expressions. The thesis' final chapter will consider the figure of the exile in Divisadero, who is repeated throughout Ondaatje's works: the largely solitary character living out of country and out of culture. Through an exploration of the poetics of exile, I will build on Said's notion of exile as a 'discontinuous state of being' and the sense in which these fractured narrative forms can reflect and give form to the discontinuous and provisional experience afforded such figures, whose sense of temporal and locational continuity has been ruptured by circumstance.
Investigations in guitar signal processing: 'folding' and its outcomes in composition and performance
Creators: name: Garfinkel, Caleb
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This exegesis investigates the musical outcomes of using Digital Signal Processing technique folding to manipulate the sound of the electric guitar in performance and composition. This is achieved by analysis of select works of American guitarist and electronic musician Christopher Willits, and personal investigations in constructing and testing computer software capable of folding. This practice-based research project has two objectives; the first is to uncover musical tools and objectives made possible by using folding to manipulate electric guitar sound, and the second is to contribute to the body of knowledge of using computers and Digital Signal Processing as a method to produce electroacoustic music. Computers are increasingly utilised to generate and manipulate sound in music performance. It is argued that folding can create a diverse range of musical elements beyond being simply a processing tool, and can enhance and expand the compositional and improvisational process. The insights gained from this investigation suggests that Digital Signal Processing techniques such as folding have the potential to generate musical events that can reflect traditional compositional elements such as melody, rhythm and texture. The outcomes suggest that study into processing techniques may further extend and affirm the role of the laptop computer in live music performance.

description: Due to intrinsic nature of photovoltaic (PV) cells, they can utilize only a small portion of the incident
solar spectrum for photoelectric conversion. The unutilized energy builds up inside the PV cells, which in turn raises
their working temperature and reduces their electrical conversion efficiency. This indicates that higher temperatures
have an adverse effect on the electrical performance of PV devices. A PV system designer therefore needs an
accurate temperature prediction of his PV modules under operation, which is not an easy task, owing to the
continuously fluctuating field conditions. This review highlights some common practices in the literature for
developing thermal models to estimate PV cells temperature and using it to find the electrical yield. A variety of selfdeveloped
in-house thermal codes from the authors are also presented and compared with those from the literature.

description: Electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) interconnections between solar cells are gaining more and more relevance since they provide a solution to realize lead free, elastic bonds, which inflict low mechanical stress on the solar cells. Here we investigate the long term stability of such interconnection joints by accelerated degradation testing in a climate chamber. For that purpose, mini-modules with shingled cells using different ECA formulations and different module materials are assembled and their electrical properties are recorded via IV and EL measurements before and after climatic chamber tests. We found varying power losses for the different ECA´s after damp heat testing (DH2000) and thermal cycling (TC800) testing. Modules of one ECA are stable after both tests, one configuration shows average power degradations around 1.4 to 3 % after both tests and the third one tested revels an average power drop of 25 % after DH2000 testing while it is stable after TC800.
High-fidelity resonator-induced phase gate with single-mode squeezing

description: We propose to increase the fidelity of two-qubit resonator-induced phase gates in circuit QED by the use of narrowband single-mode squeezed drive. We show that there exists an optimal squeezing angle and strength that erases qubit 'which-path' information leaking out of the cavity and thereby minimizes qubit dephasing during these gates. Our analytical results for the gate fidelity are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations of a cascaded master equation that takes into account the dynamics of the source of squeezed radiation. With realistic parameters, we find that it is possible to realize a controlled-phase gate with a gate time of 200 ns and average infidelity of $10^{-5}$.

Spectacular bodies, anatomical curio and one-armed wonders on screen: a focus on representations of disability in Asian cinema
Creators: name: Lew, Catherine Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis is a study of disability representation in Asian cinema. In the majority of mainstream cinematic representations the disabled body is fore grounded as a spectacle, an entity of fascination, and this spectacular body is comprehended in terms of deficit. This thesis will contend alternative modes of understanding the disabled body as powerfully enabled. It will reframe disability representation beyond an understanding of disability as a 'lack' or failing, in order to find more inclusive readings of the disabled body in Asian cinema as a powerfully enabled spectacular body. The thesis will analyse representations of the spectacular disabled body in action films from Asia made during the 1960s and 1970s through to the present day. In Chapter One the spectacular body is reframed in an exploration of the martial arts action film, Crippled Avengers (Cheh, 1978). This chapter centers on the cinematic methods used to construct a spectacularised disabled body- in particular, how the choreography and the reconfiguration of limb loss using prostheses contribute to a foregrounding of a powerful spectacular body. In Chapter Two, the trope of blindness is used in the samurai film Ichi (Sori, 2008) to depict an empowering figure of a blind heroine. This chapter analyses how the notion of sight, visual perception and the ocular create blindness as a spectacle in itself, which leads to greater perceptual insights for the protagonist's sensory experience, particularly through the images of her physical suffering and protracted combat scenes. The final chapter considers the figure of a savant and mental disability in the martial arts action film Chocolate (Pinkaew, 2008). This chapter explores the notion of learning from television via heightened mental acuity; a concept that allows us to observe the body transform into a spectacular martial arts body that is fashioned through repetition and televisual mediation. For each chapter, the notion of spectacle refers to the film techniques used to visually elevate the display of hyper capable bodies. Together, the three chapters explore different dimensions of disability that revise, reconfigure and reconsider disability representation in Asian cinema. The aim of this thesis is to recuperate neglected aspects of disability representation in contrast to Hollywood-centric studies that focus predominantly on the able-bodied hero in action films. Instead, the thesis will argue for a multi-dimensional understanding of disability in Asian cinema by drawing attention to the more extraordinary and spectacular aspects of disability representation as it is played out in contemporary action cinema from Asia.

description: Precise PV measurements and accurate performance models are vital in understanding and optimizing the system energy yield. An adaptable combination of features from the “Loss Factors Model” (used to define the normalised parameters) and the “Mechanistic Performance Model” (which determines the optimized fitting method) has been used on performance measurements such as individual module full IV curves (8 derived parameters in Arizona) and monitored large arrays (IMP and VMP) from Gantner Instruments at other sites with similar algorithms. It allows PV performance to be predicted and measurements to be validated with reasons for any underperformance or degradation to be identified and quantified.
The construction of femininity through the lyrical and visual portrayal of women in Afro-American and African mainstream hip-hop music
Creators: name: Moswa, Melisa Rumbidzai

description: Media text may disseminate ideological aspects about gender based on the way that individuals are represented. Mainstream hip-hop songs are a form of music text, and therefore it is argued that the lyrical and visual material may assist in the construction of femininity through the manner in which women are represented. The main purpose of this research is to critically analyse and describe the ways in which mainstream hip-hop music, lyrics and videos construct femininity through the manner in which they portray women. The study is grounded in a critical inquiry paradigm, following feminist arguments’ presented in third-wave/grrl feminism where sexism is problematised as an issue recurrent within mainstream hip-hop music. Moreover, the study is qualitative in nature, as the endeavour is to get an in-depth understanding of how femininity is constructed through the lyrical and visual portrayal of women in Afro-American and African mainstream hip-hop and to increase the knowledge concerning this research phenomenon. Thirteen Afro-American and African mainstream hip-hop songs were analysed, utilising discourse analysis for the lyrics and semiotic textual analysis for the videos. The themes utilised during the analysis were derived from marrying prior research with the three main theories utilised in this study: genre theory, symbolic interactionism and objectification theory. The main issues stem from third-wave/grrl feminism where it is argued that sexism in hip-hop music takes the form of the sexual objectification and labelling of women. Through an in-depth analysis it was found that sexism is exemplified through women being portrayed as sex-objects, materialistic, superficial and manipulative as well as malleable, which are themes consistent within the thirteen songs analysed. Traces of misogyny and hate speech were found in some of the lyrics and videos of the songs. Another prominent theme that arose from the data revolved around female sexual exploitation by the pimp, in the pimp-prostitute dynamic, where women’s bodies are exploited for the pimps’ personal gain. Moreover, sexual acts of sadomasochism and ménages à trois are also consistent with some of the lyrics and videos, through which male domination and female subservience may be displayed. The relevance of the study stems from it adding to the knowledge about how femininity is constructed in Afro-American and African hip-hop, particularly in the African context where there has been very little research conducted in understanding mainstream hip-hop and the messages promulgated through the genre.

Constructing security: examining the Australian Federal Police's international mandate
Creators: name: Spratling, Alita Dorothy
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis considers the Australian Federal Police's (AFP) relatively recent adoption of an international mandate, where crime is increasingly defined as transnational in nature and requiring extraterritorial law enforcement. The AFP have undergone a transformation in the previous decade that has resulted in the doubling of personnel, increased resources and police powers, and a current budget of over one billion dollars. The AFP has an extensive international liaison network with officers posted in 30 countries as well as a contingent of readily deployable officers for peacekeeping missions and emergency situations. This thesis examines how the AFP's international mandate is informed by a security discourse. It argues that this rapid expansion has occurred through the construction of transnational crime and security. Focusing on the key roles of intelligence gathering, cooperation and collaboration, and peacekeeping and capacity building, a critical discourse approach is utilised to analyse AFP Annual Reports from 1997-2006 - a 'watershed' period in the organisation's history with regards to rapid growth and development - to demonstrate how official discourse contributes to the construction of national security. The Annual Reports utilise a threat narrative and states of perpetual crisis, justifying an international policing role and the need for international cooperation.

description: We report the phase diagram for the superconducting system (${^{7}}$Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OD)FeSe and contrast it with that of (Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OH)FeSe both in single crystal and powder forms. Samples were prepared via hydrothermal methods and characterized with laboratory and synchrotron X-ray diffraction, high-resolution neutron powder diffraction (NPD), and high intensity NPD. We find a correlation between the tetragonality of the unit cell parameters and the critical temperature, $T_{c}$, which is indicative of the effects of charge doping on the lattice and formation of iron vacancies in the FeSe layer. We observe no appreciable isotope effect on the maximum $T_{c}$ in substituting H by by D. The NPD measurements definitively rule out an antiferromagnetic ordering in the non-superconducting (Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OD)FeSe samples below 120 K, which has been reported in non-superconducting (Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OH)FeSe.$^{1}$ A likely explanation for the observed antiferromagnetic transition in (Li${_{1-x}}$Fe${_{x}}$OH)FeSe samples is the formation of impurities during their preparation such as Fe${_{3}}$O${_{4}}$ and LixFeO2, which express a charge ordering transition known as the Verwey transition near 120 K. The concentration of these oxide impurities is found to be dependent on the concentration of the lithium hydroxide reagent and the use of H${_{2}}$O vs. D${_{2}}$O as the solvent during synthesis. We also describe the reaction conditions that lead to some of our superconducting samples to exhibit ferromagnetism below $T_{c}$.

description: Bifacial (BiFi) photovoltaic (PV) modules increase the overall yield as they generate power from both sides. There has been a growing interest in developing new testing procedures to characterize BiFi devices using monofacial solar simulators. One proposed method to estimate the power generated from both sides measures the Pmax of only one side with an equivalent irradiance intensity (GE) as that of the incident irradiance on both sides. This Pmax determination technique is known as the GE method. In this study, we investigate the accuracy of the GE method in estimating Pmax by comparing the results with the sum of Pmax measured from both sides separately. Using the GE method, errors in power determination were found to be as high as 4.8%. Furthermore, using a dynamic fill factor bifaciality coefficient, instead of the proposed short-circuit current or power bifaciality coefficients, when applying the GE method improved accuracy by more than two folds.
Founding an ethics on Being and Nothingness: the incompatibility of Sartre's ontology and his proposed ethics

description: Working from the premise that Sartre's ontology from Being and Nothingness is accurate; the question is raised as to whether an ethics compatible with that ontology is possible. Three separate attempts to formulate an ethics coherent with Being and Nothingness are examined and shown to have flaws. These are third party attempts at Sartre's 'early ethics', an ethics that Sartre left incomplete. Although each attempt is different and each has its individual problems, there are issues raised that are pertinent to any attempt to formulate an ethics from the ontology of Being and Nothingness. Due to the problems that are observed, it is demonstrated that, for those wishing to remain true to this ontology, Sartre's ethics is incoherent as it is incompatible with his ontology.

description: We give the global homotopy classification of nematic textures for a general domain with weak anchoring boundary conditions and arbitrary defect set in terms of twisted cohomology, and give an explicit computation for the case of knotted and linked defects in $\mathbb{R}^3$, showing that the distinct homotopy classes have a 1-1 correspondence with the first homology group of the branched double cover, branched over the disclination loops. We show further that the subset of those classes corresponding to elements of order 2 in this group have representatives that are planar and characterise the obstruction for other classes in terms of merons. The planar textures are a feature of the global defect topology that is not reflected in any local characterisation. Finally, we describe how the global classification relates to recent experiments on nematic droplets and how elements of order 4 relate to the presence of $τ$ lines in cholesterics.

The memoirs of Hitler's elites

description: In the post-war period many political and military leaders from Hitler's dictatorship wrote their memoirs. In this thesis I examine the memoirs of four figures: the generals Erich von Manstein (Lost Victories, 1955) and Heinz Guderian (Panzer Leader, 1951 ), the diplomat Ernst von Weizsacker (Memoirs, 1950), and the architect and minister for armaments Albert Speer (Inside the Third Reich, 1969). All these men were senior military or political experts who served during, and benefited from, the Nazi era. I advance three lines of arguments regarding the nature of the memoirs of these four men. First, they dissociated themselves from Hitler and criminality by remembering themselves as apolitical professionals. They dealt with their past by creating narratives wherein they were absorbed by their jobs, and were therefore unaware of, and uninvolved in, crimes. Second, all of my memoirists were in some way influenced by the Nuremberg trials. Manstein, Guderian, and Weizsacker defended the institutions they represented. Manstein and Guderian reworked Nuremberg by portraying an army waging a 'clean' rather than criminal war, while Weizsacker depicted the foreign office pursuing peace instead of supporting anti-Semitism and warlike expansion. Speer's memoirs were shaped by his defence at Nuremberg, where he created a depiction of two selves in order to avoid execution. Third, the post-war context informed what these memoirists wrote about the Nazi period and the Second World War. In particular, the Cold War environment permitted the continuation of anti-communism, but significant engagement with antiSemitism and the Holocaust was absent from their memoirs. Instead, my memoirists chose to portray Germans suffering from a war for which they were not responsible, reflecting the tendency of many Germans in the post-war period to view themselves as victims rather than as perpetrators.

Eocenomyrma orthospina

description: Eocenomyrma orthospina sp. nov.
Fig. 1; Tables 1, 2.
 Derivation of the name: After Greek orthos —straight, and Latin spina —a spine, in relation to the shape of propodeal spines of this species.
 Holotype: MZ 13434, worker, complete specimen.
 Locality and horizon: Baltic Amber, late Eocene.
 Diagnosis.—Total length ca. 3–3.5 mm. The new species is characterised by the following apomorphies: frontal carinae are short, quite strongly curved and merge with the rugae, which surround antennal sockets; frons quite wide, frontal lobes rather big and extended laterally; mesosoma of moderate length, not robust, not constricted behind so that propodeum not much narrower than promesonotum, metanotal groove distinct but shallow (seen in profile), promesonotal suture invisible (seen from above); propodeal spines quite long, not widened at the base, slender, more or less straight, pointed at the tips, directed backward and upward at an angle about 45 °, and feebly divergent (seen from above); petiole much longer than high, with very long peduncle, petiolar node with rounded dorsum, without dorsal plate; frons with not coarse longitudinal, slightly sinuous rugae, lateral parts of head dorsum and occiput with reticulation; mesosoma with quite coarse reticulation (the sculpture of petiole is invisible).
 By the complex of these features Eocenomyrma orthospina differs from the all known species of the genus Eocenomyrma, particularly from E. elegantula, which has a finely reticulated, not rugose body. It clearly differs from E. rugosostriata by the coarsely reticulated mesosoma, by the straight, not curved down propodeal spines, by the longer petiole, and by the strongly curved frontal carinae and distinctly narrower frons. E. orthospina most resembles E. electrina, but differs from the latter in the longer, not robust mesosoma, by the straight, not widened, pointed propodeal spines, and by the much longer petiole (PI 1.92 versus 1.27).

description: Crystalline silicon solar cells are usually interconnected by solder-coated copper ribbons which are soldered onto the busbars of the front side metallization and the rear side solder pads. Commonly ribbons used for five busbar solar cell interconnection are 0.8-1 mm wide, 0.25 mm thick and reflect ~84-95% of the incident light out of the module. As a consequence, up to 10 W power loss may occur in typical 60-cell modules due to shading of the ribbons. This work presents the development of a novel selectively coated power-enhancing ribbon (SCRTM) which yields a module power gain of 1.88 W in average. An effective width (EW) of 70% was obtained for SCRTM and verified by light beam induced current (LBIC) measurements compared to standard ribbons with an EW of 90%. The 20%abs. lower value for the SCRTM is a result of improved internal reflection and demonstrates the higher current generation capability. The plug-and-play application allows simple substitution of standard ribbons without equipment modification which was proven in industrial process lines. Reliability tests demonstrate high reliability exceeding IEC 61215/61730 requirements

description: In this paper, the temperature-induced performance losses of eight different photovoltaic (PV) module technologies under various real weather conditions are analyzed. Therefore, the electrical performance data of one year gathered at the ZAE Bayern’s PV test plant in Arzberg, Germany was correlated to on-site weather data and module temperature measurements. By classifying the measurement days into distinct weather categories an in-depth analysis of the weather- and technology-dependent performance is realized in this study. For each weather category, the different PV technologies are ranked with respect to their electrical yield. Subsequently, the temperature behavior of the technologies is analyzed for each of the categories in order to investigate, in how far the temperature-related yield losses are responsible for the weather-dependent performance differences that are observed for the different technologies. This analysis shows that the performance behavior is one of the main causes for the performance differences that are observed. However, it also becomes clear that further losses due to differences in spectral and / or angular sensitivity or weak light performance also influence the performance significantly. In the future, the results of this study will support system designers in choosing the appropriate PV technology for a given site based on the local climate conditions.

description: The age of water scarcity could soon be a reality faced by an increasing number of nations around the world thus making water conservation of paramount importance. As such, humanity across race, age, gender and industry needs to work together in order to manage and conserve the precious resource of water. Water use and management are major issues of concern in the water stressed province of Gauteng, South Africa. This is due to increases in demand from the population and industry resulting in easily accessible water resources nearing a point of complete utilisation. One such water reliant industry is the sport of golf. Golf courses are prone to negative images surrounding the water usage on the courses and these watering activities can potentially affect the water quality and quantity within the region. However, these are activities which are widely undocumented. This is despite golf courses using millions of litres of water per day while approximately 12 million people across the nation do not have access to clean and safe water supplies. It is against this backdrop that the study aimed at investigating the impact that the three pillars of Policy, Practice and Perception in their individual and collective capacity have on influencing water conservation on golf courses in Gauteng. Through the application of a Systems Theory approach, this was achieved by examining what water conservation practices are being implemented on selected golf courses, an overview of key South African policies that help govern and guide water conservation practices and establishing the end users’ perceptions of the two. Data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and policy overview. The results from the research show that Policy-Practice-Perception relationship has had an influence on water conservation practices on golf courses in Gauteng. There however remains room for growth in building the interconnectedness between these individual pillars. Further education and awareness coupled with increased transparency, participation and accountability both within the golfing industry, and between the golfing industry, the government, the golfing and general public were key findings of the research. These issues were thus recommended as ideal areas for future research.
