description: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of the delivery of complex syntax recast therapy via telepractice to Spanish–English bilingual children and provide preliminary evidence of the efficacy of this approach.Method: Fifteen bilingual children with developmental language disorders were stratified based on language proficiency and randomized to one of three treatment conditions: Spanish only (n = 5), English only (n = 6), or Spanish + English (n = 4). Using a within-subject design, we hypothesized that we could document treatment efficacy based on change in the treated structure in the absence of change in an untreated comparison structure. All 15 children completed ~16 hr of treatment via telepractice and participated in pre- and posttesting of their production of conditional adverbs (treated structure) and subject relative clauses (untreated structure) carried out by a masked assessor.Results: Analyses included all participants. Treatment fidelity was high, and participant attendance was remarkable, indicating feasibility. Regarding efficacy, recast therapy led to group-level gains on treated syntactic structures that exceeded those observed for the untreated comparison structure. For the 11 children who received therapy in only one language, approximately equal gains were observed in both the treated and untreated languages for conditional adverbials.Conclusions: Preliminary evidence suggests that for highly overlapping structures like conditional adverbials, recast therapy is effective and leads to change in both of the child’s languages. Larger studies are required to understand how language of administration and proficiency may affect outcomes.Supplemental Material S1.

description: The paper describes the realization of a standalone, PV/Wind powered water delivery system, undertaken
jointly by the University of the District of Columbia in Washington, DC, USA and Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia. This
UDC-BDU partnership was supported by a Seed Grant from the US Embassy in Ethiopia. The project is a model that can
be duplicated in various rural communities which need ambulant water delivery. The proposed water delivery includes
potable water to rural communities and cattle, as well as water for small scale drip-irrigation. The design introduces novel
features providing versatility and mobility to the system. The paper describes also the academic merit of the project by
highlighting its integration in the BDU’s undergraduate and graduate power engineering curricula.

description: This paper presents an autonomous wireless mesh access point as a solution to distribute Internet
access to remote areas. Recent years have seen Internet connection as a main factor of digital inclusion, leveraging
information, education and social integration. Although many places do not have Internet access, 69% of residential
in Brazil do not have Internet access. The autonomous access point design was developed based on usage scenarios
and consumption characterization curves specifications. Three prototypes were deployed and field tests were
conducted, analyzing autonomy and coverage. As a result of this work, we can conclude that the autonomous wireless
access point is a feasible solution to distribute Internet access to remote areas in tropical countries such as Brazil.
This solution has potential to bridge the gaps of Internet coverage and to contribute to reducing the digital divide.

description: 28th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 484-488
description: A new design of a 3D concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) module is presented, whose key characteristic
is the use of holograms as optic concentrating devices in a mix with other elements. The concept applies very low
concentration (below 10 suns) while keeping the dimensions of a conventional flat silicon photovoltaic module. The
whole system results in very low weight, being made of polymeric materials, and, besides, it avoids the need for
aluminum frames or external grips, as rigidity is ensured by the structure itself, and the possible plastic injection in
molds allows to directly providing the base with any gripping system. Also interconnection between cells can be
extruded in the plastic mold. Several 3D unitary structures concentrate solar light onto the solar cells, thus covering
the whole seasonal and daily incident angle spectrum with no need for active tracking of the sun. The thickness of
such a structure is very reduced due to the fact that it takes advantage of not only one, but three optical elements
within the 3D structure: on the plastic base a highly reflective surface is placed, followed by a wide angular and
spectral broadband reflection hologram, and a transparent optical medium, with both refraction index n and
inclination angle such that it traps light by Total Internal Reflection (TIR). Thus, the optical losses are greatly
reduced and a concentration factor of up to 3X (trackless) can be achieved. First results look promising. Due to all
these properties and a cheap assembly process, series production of such a module could be started as of today at a
non-optimized selling price of USD 0.66 per watt, USD 0.50 per watt if upscaled into an optimized industrial
environment.

description: We discuss duality orbits and symplectic deformations of D=4 gauged supergravity theories, with focus on N$\ge$2. We provide a general constructive framework for computing symplectic deformations starting from a reference gauging, and apply it to many interesting examples. We prove that no continuous deformations are allowed for Fayet-Iliopoulos gaugings of the N=2 STU model and in particular that any $ω$ deformation is classically trivial. We further show that although in the N=6 truncation of SO(8) maximal supergravity the $ω$ parameter can be dualized away, in the 'twin' N=2 truncation $ω$ is preserved and a second, new deformation appears. We further provide a full classification and appropriate duality orbits of certain N=4 gauged supergravities, including all inequivalent SO(4)$^2$ gaugings and several non-compact forms.

description: Solar Cells that are prone to Potential Induced Degradation (PID) have been laminated as one-cell mini modules
with various types of back sheet and encapsulation materials. Additionally, water soaking and water permeation properties of
the encapsulation and back sheet materials have been tested. It was found that modules containing materials with low barrier
and high soaking properties lead to a strong loss in shunt resistance after a short period of time. At the same time, materials
with high barrier and low soaking properties protect the cells against electrical degradation under high voltage potentials.
Surprisingly, modules containing the TPO-encapsulant showed an increase of shunt resistance during during PID test.

description: Low cost Rear Ag paste is made by silver platedcoated
Copper and Tin powder to replace part of pure Ag powder
in the paste to reduce the cost of solar cell manufacture and also
improve the adhesion of the solar cell busbar. The key issue to
use Ag coated copper and tin is the oxidization of cooper and tin
during the drying and firing process which will reduce the
solderability and adhesion by using this system. We use N2
protection during drying and firing process to prevent the
oxidization of cooper and tin. Therefore, the solderability and
adhesion has been increased a lot to achieve the industry testing
standard. Also Rs reduction is also a big achievement for this
paste system.

description: Purpose: The development of vocabulary size in deaf/hard of hearing (DHH) children and adolescents can be delayed compared to their peers due to lack of access to early language input. Complementary vocabulary interventions are reported in the literature. Our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention methods for their vocabulary improvement. Method: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched five databases for peer-reviewed journal articles in English, published between 2000 and 2022 (inclusive), reporting vocabulary interventions for 2- to 18-year-old DHH children and adolescents without comorbidities. We conducted separate meta-analyses using a random-effects model on receptive oral vocabulary, expressive oral vocabulary, and signed vocabulary. We assessed the methodological quality of each paper. This review is preregistered in PROSPERO (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews) with ID CRD42021243479. Results: We included 25 group studies in this review out of 1,724 identified records. The quality assessment of the studies revealed risk of bias ranging from some concerns to high risk. Experimental vocabulary instruction produced improvement in receptive oral vocabulary (Hedges’s g = 1.08, 95% CI [0.25, 1.90], I2 = 93.46, p = .01), expressive oral vocabulary (Hedges’s g = 1.00, 95% CI [0.18, 1.83], I2 = 96.37, p = .02), and signed vocabulary (Hedges’s g = 1.88, 95% CI [1.09, 2.66], I2 = 96.01, p < .001) in the experimental groups. Written vocabulary and general vocabulary skills are also reported as a synthesis of results. Conclusions: Multisensory and multimodal explicit vocabulary instruction for DHH children and adolescents is helpful in improving vocabulary acquisition with respect to baseline levels. However, its effectiveness must be carefully interpreted due to the lack of proper control groups and details on treatment as usual reported in the studies. Supplemental Material S1.

description: Using ambient pressure x-ray and high pressure neutron diffraction, we studied the pressure effect on structural and magnetic properties of multiferroic Mn$_{1-x}$Co$_x$WO$_4$ single crystals ($x=0, 0.05, 0.135$ and $0.17$), and compared it with the effects of doping. Both Co doping and pressure stretch the Mn-Mn chain along the $c$~direction. At high doping level ($x=0.135$ and $0.17$), pressure and Co doping drive the system in a similar way and induce a spin-flop transition for the $x=0.135$ compound. In contrast, magnetic ground states at lower doping level ($x=0$ and $0.05$) are robust against pressure but experience a pronounced change upon Co substitution. As Co introduces both chemical pressure and magnetic anisotropy into the frustrated magnetic system, our results suggest the magnetic anisotropy is the main driving force for the Co induced phase transitions at low doping level, and chemical pressure plays a more significant role at higher Co concentrations.

description: Background: The deformation of the nuclei involved in the cluster decay of heavy nuclei affect seriously their half-lives against the decay. Purpose: We investigate the description of the different decay stages in both the optimum orientation and the orientation-averaged pictures of the cluster decay process. Method: We consider the decays of 232,233,234U and 236,238Pu isotopes. The quantum mechanical knocking frequency and penetration probability based on the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation are used to find the decay width. Results: We found that the orientation-averaged decay width is one or two orders of magnitude less than its value along the non-compact optimum orientation. The difference between the two values increases with decreasing the mass number of the emitted cluster. Correspondingly, the extracted preformation probability based on the averaged decay width increases with the same orders of magnitude compared to its value obtained considering the optimum orientation. The cluster preformation probabilities (Sc) obtained in the two considered schemes give more or less comparable agreement with the Blendowske-Walliser (BW) formula based on the preformation probability of Sa(ave.) obtained from the orientation-averaging scheme. All the obtained results, including those obtained in the optimum-orientation scheme, deviate substantially from the BW law based on Sa(opt.) obtained using the optimum-orientation scheme. Conclusion: In order to account for deformations of the participating nuclei, it is more relevant to calculate the decay width by averaging over the different possible orientations of the participating deformed nucleus, rather than considering the corresponding non-compact optimum orientation.

description: This paper describes an adaptive preconditioner for numerical continuation of incompressible Navier--Stokes flows. The preconditioner maps the identity (no preconditioner) to the Stokes preconditioner (preconditioning by Laplacian) through a continuous parameter and is built on a first order Euler time-discretization scheme. The preconditioner is tested onto two fluid configurations: three-dimensional doubly diffusive convection and a reduced model of shear flows. In the former case, Stokes preconditioning works but a mixed preconditioner is preferred. In the latter case, the system of equation is split and solved simultaneously using two different preconditioners, one of which is parameter dependent. Due to the nature of these applications, this preconditioner is expected to help a wide range of studies.

description: As part of a core refurbishment of two 60 meter high tower blocks in Zurich Leimbach, all four façades
of each building were covered with standard microcrystalline and amorphous thin film tandem modules. As in
January 2012 the renovating process of the first tower block was completed, its photovoltaic plant started energy
generation. More than one year later, first results of the energy production and operating data of the system can be
presented. The production data has been analyzed and evaluated for all four façade sides as well as for the overall
system. Module circuitry considering partial shading, inverter configurations as well as energy yields and plant
efficiencies had been calculated by students as part of their bachelor thesis at the Laboratory for Photovoltaics of
Bern University of Applied Sciences BUAS. These calculations were used as a basis for planning and implementation
of the refurbishment. Thanks to the yield data of the first year of operation, it is now possible to relate the calculations
and evaluate the utility of the selected configurations.

description: Purpose: The dual-task paradigm has been frequently used to examine stroke-related deficits because it samples behavioral performance under conditions of distraction similar to functioning in real-life environments. This original systematic review synthesizes studies that examined dual-task effects involving spoken language production in adults affected by stroke, including transient ischemic attack (TIA) and poststroke aphasia.Method: Five databases were searched (inception to March 2022) for eligible peer-reviewed articles. The 21 included studies reported a total of 561 stroke participants. Thirteen studies focused on single word production, for example, word fluency, and eight on discourse production, for example, storytelling. Most studies included participants who had suffered a major stroke. Six studies focused on aphasia, whereas no study focused on TIA. A meta-analysis was not appropriate because of the heterogeneity of outcome measures.Results: Some single word production studies found dual-task language effects whereas others did not. This finding was compounded by the lack of appropriate control participants. Most single word and discourse studies utilized motoric tasks in the dual-task condition. Our certainty (or confidence) assessment was based on a methodological appraisal of each study and information about reliability/fidelity. As 10 of the 21 studies included appropriate control groups and limited reliability/fidelity information, the certainty of the findings may be described as weak.Conclusions: Language-specific dual-task costs were identified in single word studies, especially those that focused on aphasia as well as half of the nonaphasia studies. Unlike single word studies, nearly all studies of discourse showed dual-task decrements on at least some variables.Supplemental Material S1. PRISMA Abstracts checklist.Supplemental Material S2.

description: In image-based finite element analysis of bone, partial volume effects (PVEs) arise from image blur at tissue boundaries and as a byproduct of geometric reconstruction and meshing during model creation. In this study, we developed and validated a material assignment approach to mitigate partial volume effects. Our validation data consisted of physical torsion testing of intact tibiae from N = 20 Swiss alpine sheep. We created finite element models from micro-CT scans of these tibiae using three popular element types (10-node tetrahedral, 8-node hexahedral, and 20-node hexahedral). Without partial volume management, the models over-predicted the torsional rigidity compared to physical biomechanical tests. To address this problem, we implemented a dual-zone material model to treat elements that overlap low-density surface voxels as soft tissue rather than bone. After in situ inverse optimization, the dual-zone material model produced strong correlations and high absolute agreement between the virtual and physical tests. This suggests that with appropriate partial volume management, virtual mechanical testing can be a reliable surrogate for physical biomechanical testing. For maximum flexibility in partial volume management regardless of element type, we recommend the use of the following dual-zone material model for ovine tibiae: soft-tissue cutoff density of 665 mgHA/cm3 with a soft tissue modulus of 50 MPa (below cutoff) and a density-modulus conversion slope of 10,225 MPa-cm3/mgHA for bone (above cutoff).

description: High operating temperatures inside a crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell causes a significant negative
effect to its energy conversion efficiency. A reduction of this temperature would not only lead to a gain in energy yield
of a PV module but also would has a positive effect to its degradation rate and lifetime. One effective approach seems
to absorb the heat flow via phase change materials (PCM). Unfortunately, due to its low thermal conductivity and the
mass required to provide a sufficient heat storage capacity, its application for PV modules has been very limited. This
investigation includes an assessment of a new PCM compound, featuring an increased thermal conductivity, but with
a lower heat storage capacity. For this reason, a single crystalline silicon PV module has been equipped with a
conventional, commercially available PCM and another one with the new PCM compound. Both PV-PCM modules
and a bare reference PV module have been compared at real summer outdoor conditions in the PV-Outdoor-Laboratory
of the University of Paderborn.

description: This study aims to integrate an open-source software capable of estimating hydrodynamic forces solely from kinematic data with a full-body biomechanical model of the human body to enable inverse dynamic analyses of swimmers. To demonstrate the methodology, intersegmental forces and joint torques of the lower limbs were computed for a six-beat front crawl swimming motion, acquired at LABIOMEP-UP. The hydrodynamic forces obtained compare well with existing numerical literature. The intersegmental forces and joint torques obtained increase from distal to proximal joints. Overall, the results are consistent with the limited literature on swimming biomechanics, which provides confidence in the presented methodology.

description: In this dissertation, the reciprocal relationship between shared leadership and trust on different levels of an organization (top-management to team members) is investigated in two studies. Furthermore, the focus are antecedents and boundary conditions (empowering leadership, vision communication, voice, feedback seeking and perceives team support) that may shape this relationship. We found at the top-management and middle management, by using a multilevel analysis, significant positive associations between organizational trust and empowering leadership, and empowering leadership and shared leadership. In addition, there was a significant positive mediation of empowering leadership for the relationship between organizational trust and shared leadership. At team leader and team member level, by using a structural equation model, we found a significant positive relation of voice on shared leadership and perceived team support on team trust of the team leader. Keywords: Shared leadership, empowering leadership, organizational trust, vision communication, voice, perceived team support, feedback seeking, followership-theory, trickle-down-effect, top-management

description: We look for three dimensional vortex-solutions, which have finite energy and are stationary solutions, of Klein-Gordon-Maxwell-Proca type systems of equations. We prove the existence of three dimensional cylindrically symmetric vortex-solutions having a least possible energy among all symmetric solutions. Moreover we show that, if the Proca mass disappears, then the solutions tends to a solution of the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system.

PV Applications without a Centralised Grid

description: The State Government of Karnataka (GoK) has information and communication technologies (ICTs) to
improve the administration of e-governance. One such initiative of GoK’s e-governance is called the ‘Nemmadi
Kendra’ (now known as Atalji Janasnehi Kendra (AJK)) that covers all talukas (administrative division for a group of
villages in the state of Karnataka) in the state. The objective of these centers is to deliver all government services in
prescribed time, in the villages through a single window system eliminating the need of any signature or written
applications. However, most villages face power outages during working hours which is why the electronic
applications cannot be processed and citizens are often requested to come back at a later time. It was then the
Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Limited (KREDL) came up with an idea of powering these centers with
solar energy. Chemtrols Solar provided the solution of 2kWp Solar Photovoltaic systems that could power three
computers, one laser printer, one finger print scanner, two lights and two fans during the day’s working hours. This
lead to prompt delivery of governmental services at village level and significant reduction in the electricity bills of
the Revenue Department. Challenges concerning a high quality set up of these solar power systems in various
villages under time pressure will be discussed in this paper.

description: Microneedle arrays have recently been proposed as an alternative device for delivering vaccines into the skin. In recent years, many types of microneedles, such as coated and dissolving microneedles, have been developed with a variety of array configurations. However, the study that alongside compares the vaccine delivery efficiency of different types of microneedles and optimizes their arrangements on an array has been lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the vaccine delivery efficiency of coated and dissolving microneedles as well as to optimize the microneedle arrangements by using a three-dimensional finite element modeling approach. The constructed models describe the antigen release via diffusion, the antigen-receptor binding, and the antigen internalization by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the skin layers. Our modeling result reveals that the coated microneedle provides higher efficiency in activating APCs than the dissolving microneedle. It also predicts that the square arrangement of microneedles is not the optimal arrangement. According to the magnitude of APC activation, the acute-angle arrangement of microneedles outperforms the square arrangement by activating more APCs in the dermis.

description: The heterojunction cell concept enables high efficiencies and simultaneously low-cost production.
Roth & Rau AG provide tools and processes for mass production of heterojunction technology (HJT) based solar
cells. New low temperature interconnection techniques are needed for this cell concept. This work focuses on the
evaluation of polymer pastes characteristics. Therefore different curing atmospheres of an inert inline drying system
(Rehm Thermal Systems) were used. The electrical resistance, adhesion and solderability of the screen printed pastes
were evaluated. As we will show in the present work, inert curing can make the currently available copper pastes an
equivalent alternative to common used silver pastes. Furthermore the influence of inert atmospheres on silver pastes
will be demonstrated and discussed.
A universal energy distribution function for repeating fast radio bursts?

description: Assuming: fast radio bursts (FRBs) are produced by neutron stars at cosmological distances; FRB rate tracks core-collapse supernova rate; and all FRBs repeat with a universal energy distribution function (EDF) dN/dE ~ E^(-beta) with a high-end cutoff at burst energy E_max. We find that observations so far are consistent with a universal EDF with a power-law index 1.5 < beta < 2.2, high-end cutoff E_max/E_0 > 30 and normalization N_0 < 2 per day; where N_0 is the integrated rate above the reference burst energy E_0 = 1.2e39 f_r^(-1) erg (f_r is the radio emission efficiency). Implications of such an EDF are discussed.

description: We use finite size scaling to study Ising spin glasses in two spatial dimensions. The issue of universality is addressed by comparing discrete and continuous probability distributions for the quenched random couplings. The sophisticated temperature dependency of the scaling fields is identified as the major obstacle that has impeded a complete analysis. Once temperature is relinquished in favor of the correlation length as the basic variable, we obtain a reliable estimation of the anomalous dimension and of the thermal critical exponent. Universality among binary and Gaussian couplings is confirmed to a high numerical accuracy.
