description: The focus of this work was set on studying the reliability of solar modules with cells interconnected by
means of conductive glues and conductive film. The solar cell design was varied from standard H-grid to cells
without front busbars and without rear side pads to account for maximum cost savings in materials and process. Solar
cells were processed in an industrial like environment with main modification to the screen layout for front and rear
metallization. The results indicate that solar cells without front busbars can be connected with both conductive
adhesive techniques as long as rear side pads are present: all tested samples did pass TC200, DH1000 and HF10 test
requirements. For rear side pad-free cells only the conductive film is capable to withstand moisture and thermal
induced mechanical stress and corrosion during test. Solar cell samples without front busbars and rear pads
interconnected with this technology did pass all environmental tests and do offer a great opportunity for further cost
savings on cell level. Additionally, first work on busbar-free cells did reveal weaknesses of the front grid for
conductive glue application which can be addressed in future work by simple modification to the screen layout.

description: Atomtronics is a relatively new subfield of atomic physics that aims to realize the device behavior of electronic components in ultracold atom-optical systems. The fact that these systems are coherent makes them particularly interesting since, in addition to current, one can impart quantum states onto the current carriers themselves or perhaps perform quantum computational operations on them. After reviewing the fundamental ideas of this subfield, we report on the theoretical and experimental progress made towards developing externally-driven and closed loop devices. The functionality and potential applications for these atom analogs to electronic and spintronic systems is also discussed.

description: In this contribution the absorption by defect states in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H)
photosensitive devices in the environment of resonant absorbing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) is investigated. The
location of defects in the strong electromagnetic fields accompanied by the localized surface plasmon (LSP)
resonance of the Ag NPs enable high transition rates between the defect states and the conduction band. This results
in a significant signal for near infrared (NIR) photon energies in external quantum efficiency (EQE) measurements.
Dominant transitions take place for defect levels with an energetic distance from the conduction band, equal to the
LSP resonance energy.
Introducing a boron doped layer in direct contact to the NPs leads to a decrease of the NIR EQE signal. This gives
evidence for the existence of the NP induced defect states in the a-Si:H material. The p-type doping shifts the Fermi
level towards or below the defect states resulting in their depletion. Therefore these states cannot contribute to sub
bandgap photon absorption resulting in a decreased NIR EQE signal.

description: This paper focuses on the physical conditions for a degradation mechanism of photovoltaic
modules, known as potential induced degradation (PID). The analysis was made on several levels. At first, the
influence of humidity and temperature on the potential induced leakage current has been investigated, the second
step consists of an accelerated test scheme in a climatic chamber, the third one is outdoor exposure with high
voltage stress in two different climate regions. The humidity has a huge impact on the leakage current. Therefor a
test in the climate chamber accelerates the stress found in the field some orders of magnitude.

description: Two new solvates of the widely used anthelminthic Praziquantel (PZQ) were obtained through mechanochemical screening with different liquid additives. Specifically, 2-pyrrolidone and acetic acid gave solvates with 1:1 stoichiometry (PZQ-AA and PZQ-2P, respectively). A wide-ranging characterization of the new solid forms was carried out by means of powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, FT-IR, solid-state NMR and biopharmaceutical analyses (solubility and intrinsic dissolution studies). Besides, the crystal structures of the two new solvates were solved from their Synchrotron-PXRD pattern: the solvates are isostructural, with equivalent triclinic packing. In both structures acetic acid and 2-pyrrolidone showed a strong interaction with the PZQ molecule via hydrogen bond. Even though previous studies have shown that PZQ is conformationally flexible, the same syn conformation as the PZQ Form A of the C=O groups of the piperazinone-cyclohexylcarbonyl segment is involved in these two new solid forms. In terms of biopharmaceutical properties, PZQ-AA and PZQ-2P exhibited water solubility and intrinsic dissolution rate much greater than those of anhydrous Form A.

Large PV Power Plants and Distributed PV: System Aspects and Grid Connection

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3955-3963
description: The importance of communication and control systems of large-scale photovoltaic (LSPV) systems will increase
in the future mainly due to two facts: cost reduction potential taking into account the latest technological trends,
and higher requirements caused by more sophisticated monitoring and control applications. After analyzing the
actual industrial state of the art, this paper identifies new approaches considering latest developments in
communication technology as well as research activity on applications with similar requirements. Three new
approaches for large-scale photovoltaic tracker (LSPVT) systems are analyzed: based on power line
communication (PLC), wireless mesh network (WMN), and an advanced Ethernet solution. Positive and negative
aspects are elaborated for each approach and can be taken into consideration for designing new LSPVT systems
or demonstration projects. Therefor this paper is to develop a first step to a more adequate, cost-efficient and
future-prepared solution for communication and control systems of LSPVT plants.

description: PV-module backsheets are important for module reliability. They provide a humidity barrier to prevent
corrosion, withstand UV-exposure and add mechanical stability. They electrically insulate the module circuits but
also contain openings for the electrical connections to the outside world. In addition they should be lightweight and
low cost.
Here we report on a novel backsheet, contacfoil®-back, consisting only of an aluminium and dielectric layer
compound. The aluminium, an excellent moisture barrier, faces the outside world and acts as a mechanically stable,
UV-proof protective layer. On the inside, the dielectric layer isolates the module circuit from the aluminium backside.
This dielectric layer becomes adhesives during lamination and a mechanically stable module compound is formed at
the same time. The backsheet is opened at the locations where the electrical connections to the module circuitry have
to be provided. In addition, we will discuss the possibility to connect to the module circuit via contact islands carved
into the metal foil by selectively removing the aluminium with laser ablation. This allows connecting to the module
circuit without mechanically opening the backsheet, which has a positive impact on module reliability.

description: Recent experimental data for the differential decay distribution of the decay $τ^-\toν_τK_Sπ^-$ by the Belle collaboration are described by a theoretical model which is composed of the contributing vector and scalar form factors $F_+^{Kπ}(s)$ and $F_0^{Kπ}(s)$. Both form factors are constructed such that they fulfil constraints posed by analyticity and unitarity. A good description of the experimental measurement is achieved by incorporating two vector resonances and working with a three-times subtracted dispersion relation in order to suppress higher-energy contributions. The resonance parameters of the charged $K^*(892)$ meson, defined as the pole of $F_+^{Kπ}(s)$ in the complex $s$-plane, can be extracted, with the result $M_{K^*}=892.0 \pm 0.9 $MeV and $Γ_{K^*}=46.2 \pm 0.4 $MeV. Finally, employing the three-subtracted dispersion relation allows to determine the slope and curvature parameters $λ_+^{'}=(24.7\pm 0.8)\cdot 10^{-3}$ and $λ_+^{''}=(12.0\pm 0.2)\cdot 10^{-4}$ of the vector form factor $F_+^{Kπ}(s)$ directly from the data.

description: In thin thin film photovoltaics laser structuring is a common method to achieve the necessary
monolithical series connection between neighboring cells. P2 and P3 laser scribing has also been proven to be
suitable for Cu(In, Ga)Se2 (CIGS)solar cells but it is still not used in industry. Ablation can be done utilizing an
explosive lift of process by the use of lasers with nanosecond pulses. Success of this process depends on both
interface properties and characteristics of the CIGS layer itself. We investigate the interface properties and
composition of two groups of samples with and without a MoSe2 layer. Scribing results are compared as well.

description: We introduce a method to constrain general cosmological models using Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) distance measurements from galaxy samples covering different redshift ranges, and apply this method to analyse samples drawn from the SDSS and 2dFGRS. BAO are detected in the clustering of the combined 2dFGRS and SDSS main galaxy samples, and measure the distance--redshift relation at z=0.2. BAO in the clustering of the SDSS luminous red galaxies measure the distance--redshift relation at z=0.35. The observed scale of the BAO calculated from these samples and from the combined sample are jointly analysed using estimates of the correlated errors, to constrain the form of the distance measure D_V(z)=[(1+z)^2D_A^2cz/H(z)]^(1/3). Here D_A is the angular diameter distance, and H(z) is the Hubble parameter. This gives r_s/D_V(0.2)=0.1980+/-0.0058 and r_s/D_V(0.35)=0.1094+/-0.0033 (1sigma errors), with correlation coefficient of 0.39, where r_s is the comoving sound horizon scale at recombination. Matching the BAO to have the same measured scale at all redshifts then gives D_V(0.35)/D_V(0.2)=1.812+/-0.060. The recovered ratio is roughly consistent with that predicted by the higher redshift SNLS supernovae data for Lambda cosmologies, but does require slightly stronger cosmological acceleration at low redshift. If we force the cosmological model to be flat with constant w, then we find Om_m=0.249+/-0.018 and w=-1.004+/-0.089 after combining with the SNLS data, and including the WMAP measurement of the apparent acoustic horizon angle in the CMB.

Slowly inflating the spheres yields jamming as well as logarithmically slow relaxation reminiscent of the glassy dynamics observed experimentally.

description: Nanomaterials made of the cerium oxides CeO$_2$ and Ce$_2$O$_3$ have a broad range of applications, from catalysts in automotive, industrial or energy operations to promising materials to enhance hadrontherapy effectiveness in oncological treatments. To elucidate the physico-chemical mechanisms involved in these processes, it is of paramount importance to know the electronic excitation spectra of these oxides, which are obtained here through high-accuracy linear-response time-dependent density functional theory calculations. In particular, the macroscopic dielectric response functions $\barε$ of both bulk CeO$_2$ and Ce$_2$O$_3$ are derived, which compare remarkably well with the available experimental data. These results stress the importance of appropriately accounting for local field effects to model the dielectric function of metal oxides. Furthermore, we reckon the materials energy loss functions $\mbox{Im} (-1/\barε)$, including the accurate evaluation of the momentum transfer dispersion from first-principles. In this respect, by using a Mermin-type parametrization we are able to model the contribution of different electronic excitations to the dielectric loss function. Finally, from the knowledge of the electron inelastic mean free path, together with the elastic mean free path provided by the relativistic Mott theory, we carry out statistical Monte Carlo (MC) charge transport simulations to reproduce the major features of the reported experimental reflection electron energy loss (REEL) spectra of cerium oxides. The good agreement with REEL experimental data strongly supports our approach based on MC modelling informed by ab initio calculated electronic excitation spectra in a broad range of momentum and energy transfers.

description: We consider the problem of finding cryptographically suitable Jacobians. By applying a probabilistic generic algorithm to compute the zeta functions of low genus curves drawn from an arbitrary family, we can search for Jacobians containing a large subgroup of prime order. For a suitable distribution of curves, the complexity is subexponential in genus 2, and O(N^{1/12}) in genus 3. We give examples of genus 2 and genus 3 hyperelliptic curves over prime fields with group orders over 180 bits in size, improving previous results. Our approach is particularly effective over low-degree extension fields, where in genus 2 we find Jacobians over F_{p^2) and trace zero varieties over F_{p^3} with near-prime orders up to 372 bits in size. For p = 2^{61}-1, the average time to find a group with 244-bit near-prime order is under an hour on a PC.

description: We put forward a measure based on Gaussian steering to quantify the non-Markovianity of continuous-variable (CV) Gaussian quantum channels. We employ the proposed measure to assess and compare the non-Markovianity of a quantum Brownian motion (QBM) channel, originating from the interaction with Ohmic and sub-Ohmic environments with spectral densities described by a Lorentz-Drude cutoff, both at high and low temperatures, showing that sub-Ohmic, high temperature environments lead to highly non-Markovian evolution, with cyclic backflows of Gaussian steerability from the environment to the system. Our results add to the understanding of the interplay between quantum correlations and non-Markovianity for CV systems, and could be implemented at the experimental level to quantify non-Markovianity in some physical scenarios.

Urea and selenium nutrition of marine phytoplanton : a physiological and biochemical study
Creators: name: Price, Neil Martin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Laboratory and field experiments measured urea uptake and assimilation with ¹⁴C⁻ and ¹⁵N-urea and by disappearance of dissolved urea. A modified diacetyl monoxime method was developed, which accurately and precisely determined dissolved urea concentrations in seawater. In the Strait of Georgia, chlorophyll α (chl α) specific uptake rates of ammonium (NH₄⁺) and urea were greatest in stratified water; whereas, chl α specific uptake rates of nitrate (NO₃⁻) were greatest in frontal water. Ammonium and urea regeneration rates were calculated by a mass balance method and the rates were similar. Differences between measurements of particulate nitrogen, dissolved NH₄⁺, NO₃⁻ and urea, and ¹⁵N uptake were used to explain the dominant N transformations in frontal and stratified seawater. Uptake rates measured by ¹⁴C-urea were ca. 1.4 times faster than those determined by ¹⁵N-urea in the Sargasso Sea. Turnover times of urea in the surface-mixed layer were ca. 12 h. Within some seawater samples, phytoplankton utilized urea at rates which approximated the maximum rates of utilization. In a nitrate-sufficient culture of Thaiassiosira pseudonana (clone 3H) (Hustedt) Hasle and Heimdal, urea uptake rates measured by three methods disagreed; whereas, no discrepancies occurred in a nitrate-starved culture. NH₄⁺ was released from cells after urea was taken up and was later reabsorbed. A model of urea uptake and assimilation by T. pseudonana is proposed. An obligate selenium (Se) requirement for growth of T. pseudonana was demonstrated in axenic culture in artificial seawater. The addition of 10⁻⁹ M SeO₃²⁻ to culture medium was sufficient for good growth of this alga; SeO₄²⁻ was only effective at concentrations greater than 10⁻⁷ M. To elucidate the biochemical role of Se in T. pseudonana, cells were cultured in medium containing 10⁻⁹ M Na₂ ⁷⁵SeO₃. Two soluble polypeptides of 21 and 29 kD contained ⁷⁵Se. Glutathione peroxidase was detected on non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels and ⁷⁵Se co-migrated with the enzyme. It was concluded that Se is an essential element for growth of T. pseudonana due, in part, to the presence of the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase.

description: Metacognition is important for monitoring and regulation of cognitive processes, decision making, problem-solving and learning. Despite the widespread interest in metacognition, measuring metacognition in children poses a significant challenge. Some qualitative and observational measures exist, but they are restricted by the number of components they measure and the sampling size. Some meta-cognition tasks of memory have been developed for children, but these only measure a narrow range of skills involved in metacognition. A novel metacognitive problem-solving task, previously developed by the lab, provides scalable means to holistically measure metacognition. The thesis, developed a new coding scheme, recoded the data and studied the reliability and validity of the novel task by comparing it with demographic variables known to be associated with metacognition and a metamemory task. The results indicate the novel task is reliable and valid. It operationalizes metacognitive measures similarly to a classical metamemory task, suggesting that the new task could be a bridge between existing measures of metacognition in children and adults. The thesis uses the novel task to then explore other broader questions with 182, 8- to 11-year-old students, pertaining to cognitive levels in low socioeconomic status, ethnic-minority students, domain-generality/specificity of metacognition and the association between metacognition and executive-functions. The results indicate that low socioeconomic status, ethnic-minority students have poor cognitive levels and low amounts of cognitive development across the various age groups. The results also suggest metacognitive components to be domain-general in nature and were tapped into by the novel metacognitive problem-solving, metamemory and a complex executive-function tasks. The results provide further evidence for association between metacognition and executive-functions.

description: Abstract We give a prescription for $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 supersymmetrization of any (four-dimensional) nonlinear electrodynamics theory with a Lagrangian density satisfying a convexity condition that we relate to semi-classical unitarity. We apply it to the one-parameter ModMax extension of Maxwell electrodynamics that preserves both electromagnetic duality and conformal invariance, and its Born-Infeld-like generalization, proving that duality invariance is preserved. We also establish superconformal invariance of the superModMax theory by showing that its coupling to supergravity is super-Weyl invariant. The higher-derivative photino-field interactions that appear in any supersymmetric nonlinear electrodynamics theory are removed by an invertible nonlinear superfield redefinition.

description: In a recent work, it has been pointed out that certain observables of the massless scalar field theory in a static spherically symmetric background exhibit a universal behavior at large distances. More precisely, it was shown that, unlike what happens in the case the coupling to the curvature ξis generic, for the special cases ξ=0 and ξ= 1/6 the large distance behavior of the expectation value turns out to be independent of the internal structure of the gravitational source. Here, we address a higher dimensional generalization of this result: We first compute the difference between a black hole and a static spherically symmetric star for the observables and in the far field limit. Thus, we show that the conformally invariant massless scalar field theory in a static spherically symmetric background exhibits such universality phenomenon in D\geq 4 dimensions. Also, using the one-loop effective action, we compute for a weakly gravitating object. These results lead to the explicit expression of the expectation value for a Schwarzschild-Tangherlini black hole in the far field limit. As an application, we obtain quantum corrections to the gravitational potential in D dimensions, which for D=4 are shown to agree with the one-loop correction to the graviton propagator previously found in the literature.

description: The goal of this work is to reduce the DC-link capacitance of a two-stage single-phase inverter so
much that the use of film capacitors becomes feasible in both, price and volume. Film capacitors instead of
electrolytic capacitors could increase lifetime and reliability of the inverter, especially in high-temperature
applications like module-integrated micro-inverters.
For the capacitance reduction we use predictive current control for the DC/DC and the DC/AC stage. This type of
control is able to suppress a large voltage ripple at the DC-link, allowing a reduction of the installed capacitance
without deteriorating the input and output current waveforms.

description: Artemisia capillaris Thunb. (A.capillaris, Yin-Chen in Chinese) is a traditional medicinal herb with a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties ranging from effects against liver dysfunction to treatments of severe cirrhosis and cancer. We used relevant keywords to search electronic databases, including PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar, for scientific contributions related to this medicinal herb and the pharmacokinetics of its components. The pharmaceutical effects of A.capillaris contribute to the treatment not only of viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular hepatoma, but also metabolic syndrome, psoriasis, and enterovirus in the clinic. The bioactive compounds, including scoparone, capillarisin, scopoletin, and chlorogenic acid, exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antisteatotic, antiviral, and antitumor properties, reflecting the pharmacological effects of A.capillaris. The pharmacokinetics of the main bioactive compounds in A. capillaris can achieve a maximum concentration within 1 hour, but only chlorogenic acid has a relatively long half-life.

description: A plethora of demanding services and use cases mandate a revolutionary shift in the management of future wireless network resources. Indeed, when tight quality of service demands of applications are combined with increased complexity of the network, legacy network management routines will become unfeasible in 6G. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a fundamental enabler to orchestrate the network resources from bottom to top. AI-enabled radio access and AI-enabled core will open up new opportunities for automated configuration of 6G. On the other hand, there are many challenges in AI-enabled networks that need to be addressed. Long convergence time, memory complexity, and complex behaviour of machine learning algorithms under uncertainty as well as highly dynamic channel, traffic and mobility conditions of the network contribute to the challenges. In this paper, we survey the state-of-art research in utilizing machine learning techniques in improving the performance of wireless networks. In addition, we identify challenges and open issues to provide a roadmap for the researchers.

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 2123-2128
description: OM&T | Moser Baer Technologies has developed glass superstrates with nano-imprinted periodic
texture which have been specifically designed for optimal light-trapping in micromorph (a-Si:H/2c-Si:H) tandem
devices. Only a thin AZO layer of ≤ 500 nm is necessary on this pre-textured superstrate which can be optimized for
optimal transmission and sheet resistance properties independently of the substrate morphology. FDTD simulations
have been used to find an optimal period, height and duty-cycle which demonstrate higher JSC in both top- and
bottom cell as compared to the random FTO reference texture. By tuning the imprinted 2D periodic texture shape and
TCO layer thickness carefully we have been able to reach significant JSC increase, while minimizing the VOC and FF
loss which generally occurs with other light trapping structures. Damp heat testing up to 6 times the IEC
specification, which is one of the most critical reliability tests, have indicated the stability of textured imprint layer.
The progress in R&D of the (nano-)imprint technology up to Gen-2 size has enabled OM&T to develop an integrated
Gen-5 texturing line which will be available in Q1 2013.

A stochastic Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis
Creators: name: Chavanis, Pierre-Henri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce stochastic models of chemotaxis generalizing the deterministic Keller-Segel model. These models include fluctuations which are important in systems with small particle numbers or close to a critical point. Following Dean's approach, we derive the exact kinetic equation satisfied by the density distribution of cells. In the mean field limit where statistical correlations between cells are neglected, we recover the Keller-Segel model governing the smooth density field. We also consider hydrodynamic and kinetic models of chemotaxis that take into account the inertia of the particles and lead to a delay in the adjustment of the velocity of cells with the chemotactic gradient. We make the connection with the Cattaneo model of chemotaxis and the telegraph equation.

description: This paper addresses the problem of common object detection, which aims to detect objects of similar categories from a set of images. Although it shares some similarities with the standard object detection and co-segmentation, common object detection, recently promoted by \cite{Jiang2019a}, has some unique advantages and challenges. First, it is designed to work on both closed-set and open-set conditions, a.k.a. known and unknown objects. Second, it must be able to match objects of the same category but not restricted to the same instance, texture, or posture. Third, it can distinguish multiple objects. In this work, we introduce the Single Stage Common Object Detection (SSCOD) to detect class-agnostic common objects from an image set. The proposed method is built upon the standard single-stage object detector. Furthermore, an embedded branch is introduced to generate the object's representation feature, and their similarity is measured by cosine distance. Experiments are conducted on PASCAL VOC 2007 and COCO 2014 datasets. While being simple and flexible, our proposed SSCOD built upon ATSSNet performs significantly better than the baseline of the standard object detection, while still be able to match objects of unknown categories.

Large PV Power Plants and Distributed PV: System Aspects and Grid Connection

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 3964-3966
description: In the last years the installation of photovoltaic has changed its face towards large systems of a few
MWp on industrial rooftops or in the green field. As opposed to residential applications, those larger systems are
normally not constantly supervised by the operator. Defects, especially of the PV panels, are often not recognized
immediately. Nevertheless malfunctioning PV panels, e.g. due to dirt, shading or even theft, will lead to sometimes
extreme influences on the current earning, which respectively decreases the yield for the operator. Due to the great
variability in system design of PV plants it is necessary to adapt each maintenance concept to each specific plant. An
effective service concept is an important aspect to keep the running costs low and to assure the maximum rate of
yield for the long term operation. The described example shows tellingly the sense and efficiency of using a string
monitoring system in a large size PV plant. Operators learn about typical behavior, error appearance and the
possibilities of troubleshooting, which finally leads to an increase of system stability and effectiveness in operation
and maintenance.

Using Josephson junctions to determine the pairing state of superconductors without crystal inversion symmetry
Creators: name: Børkje, K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Theoretical studies of a planar tunnel junction between two superconductors with antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling are presented. The half-space Green's function for such a superconductor is determined. This is then used to derive expressions for the dissipative current and the Josephson current of the junction. Numerical results are presented in the case of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling, relevant to the much studied compound CePt$_3$Si. Current-voltage diagrams, differential conductance and the critical Josephson current are presented for different crystallographic orientations and different weights of singlet and triplet components of the pairing state. The main conclusion is that Josephson junctions with different crystallographic orientations may provide a direct connection between unconventional pairing in superconductors of this kind and the absence of inversion symmetry in the crystal.

description: BACKGROUND: Despite impressive efficacy in immunocompetent individuals, the immunogenicity of a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine in B-cell-deplete patients remains unknown. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to quantify real-world vaccine immunogenicity in ocrelizumab recipients. METHODS: We measured post-vaccination SARS-COV-2 immunoglobulin G (IgG) in ocrelizumab recipients using a highly sensitive Luminex assay. RESULTS: 44.1% of patients had detectable SARS-COV-2-IgG 21+ days after one vaccine dose, regardless of vaccine type (AZD1222 vs BNT162b2, odds ratio (OR) = 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.157-2.32, p = 0.72). B-cell count strongly predicted seroconversion (β1 = 12.38, 95% CI = 4.59-20.16, p = 0.0029), but undetectable B-cells did not preclude it. The second vaccine seroconverted 53% of the patients who had not already responded to dose 1. CONCLUSION: Humoral response after one COVID-19 vaccine dose is lower than expected in CD20-deplete patients.

description: Using deep NIR VLT/ISAAC and optical HST/WFPC2 imaging in the fields of the HDFS and MS1054-03, we study the rest-frame UV-to-optical colors and magnitudes of galaxies to z~3. While there is no evidence for a red sequence at z~3, there does appear to be a well-defined color-magnitude relation (CMR) for blue galaxies at all redshifts, with more luminous galaxies having redder U-V colors. The slope of the blue CMR is independent of redshift d(U-V)/dMV = -0.09 (0.01) and can be explained by a correlation of dust-reddening with luminosity. The average color at fixed luminosity reddens strongly Δ(U-V) = 0.75 from z~3 to z=0, much of which can be attributed to aging of the stars. The color scatter of the blue sequence is relatively small sigma(U-V) = 0.25 (0.03) and constant to z~3, but notably asymmetrical with a sharp blue ridge and a wing towards redder colors. We explore sets of star formation histories to study the constraints placed by the shape of the scatter at z=2-3. One particular set of models, episodic star formation, reproduces the detailed properties very well. For a two-state model with high and low star formation, the duty cycle is constrained to be > 40% and the contrast between the states must be a factor > 5 (or a scatter in log(SFR) of > 0.35 dex around the mean). However, episodic models do not explain the observed tail of very red galaxies, primarily Distant Red Galaxies (DRGs), which may have ceased star formation altogether or are more heavily obscured. Finally, the relative number density of red, luminous MV < -20.5 galaxies increases by a factor of ~ 6 from z = 2.7 to z = 0.5, as does their contribution to the total rest-frame V-band luminosity density. We are likely viewing the progressive formation of red, passively evolving galaxies.
