description: We measure the gravitational lensing shear signal around dark matter halos hosting CMASS galaxies using light sources at $z\sim 1$ (background galaxies) and at the surface of last scattering at $z\sim 1100$ (the cosmic microwave background). The galaxy shear measurement uses data from the CFHTLenS survey, and the microwave background shear measurement uses data from the {\it Planck} satellite. The ratio of shears from these cross-correlations provides a purely geometric distance measurement across the longest possible cosmological lever arm. This is because the matter distribution around the halos, including uncertainties in galaxy bias and systematic errors such as miscentering, cancels in the ratio for halos in thin redshift slices. We measure this distance ratio in three different redshift slices of the CMASS sample, and combine them to obtain a $17\%$ measurement of the distance ratio, $r=0.390^{+0.070}_{-0.062}$ at an effective redshift of $z=0.53$. This is consistent with the predicted ratio from the {\it Planck} best-fit $Λ$CDM cosmology of $r=0.419$.

description: Background Lisinopril and losartan manufacturer labels recommend twice-daily dosing (BID) if once daily (QDay) is insufficient to lower blood pressure (BP).
 Methods and results Retrospective cohort study of patients taking QDay lisinopril and losartan who experienced a dose-doubling (index date). A text-processing tool categorized BID and QDay groups at the index date based on administration instructions. We excluded: pregnant/hospice, regimens other than BID/QDay, and without BP measurements -6 months/+12 months of the index date. The most proximal BP measurements -6 months and +2 weeks to 12 months of the index date were used to evaluate BP differences. Propensity scores were generated, and differences in BP and adverse events (angioedema, acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia) between BID/QDay groups were analyzed within dosing cohorts using inverse propensity of treatment-weighted regression models. Of 11,210 and 6,051 patients who met all criteria for lisinopril and losartan, 784 (7.0%) and 453 (7.5%) were taking BID, respectively. BID patients were older and had higher comorbidity and medication burdens. There were no differences in systolic/diastolic BP between BID and QDay, with absolute differences in mean systolic BP ranging from -1.8 to 0.7 mmHg and diastolic BP ranging from -1.1 to 0.1 mmHg (all 95% confidence intervals [CI] cross 0). Lisinopril 10mg BID was associated with an increased odds of angioedema compared to lisinopril 20mg QDay (odds ratio 2.27, 95%CI 1.13–4.58). Conclusions Adjusted models do not support improved effectiveness or safety of BID lisinopril and losartan.

description: Climate change is a politically-polarized issue, with conservatives less likely than liberals to support mitigation and adaptation policies needed to reduce its impacts. This study aimed to examine whether John Oliver’s “A Mathematically Representative Climate Change Debate” clip on his program Last Week Tonight polarized or depolarized a politically-diverse audience on climate policy support and behavioral intentions. One hundred and fifty-nine participants, recruited via Amazon MTurk (94 female, 64 male, one not stated, Mage = 51.07, SDage = 16.35), were presented with either John Oliver’s climate change consensus clip, or a humorous video unrelated to climate change. Although the climate change consensus clip did not reduce polarization on mitigation policy support (or increase it), relative to a control, it resulted in larger polarization on support for adaptation policies, and higher climate action intentions among liberals but not conservatives.

description: Imaging single proteins has been a long-standing ambition for advancing various fields in natural science, as for instance structural biology, biophysics and molecular nanotechnology. In particular, revealing the distinct conformations of an individual protein is of utmost importance. Here, we show the imaging of individual proteins and protein complexes by low-energy electron holography. Samples of individual proteins and protein complexes on ultraclean freestanding graphene were prepared by soft-landing electrospray ion beam deposition, which allows chemical- and conformational-specific selection and gentle deposition. Low-energy electrons do not induce radiation damage, which enables acquiring sub-nanometer resolution images of individual proteins (cytochrome C and bovine serum albumin) as well as of protein complexes (hemoglobin), which are not the result of an averaging process.

Silicon Solar Cell Improvements

description: 31st European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 425-428
description: n-type solar cells (nPERT, nPERL, IBC) have consistently demonstrated high efficiency performance
(CE >20%), mainly driven by inherent high bulk lifetime of wafer. However, the widespread adoption of these cell
architectures remains a challenge due to the high temperature requirements for boron emitter formation, either by
diffusion or ion implantation. The high temperature processing used to form a high quality B junction can result in
degradation of bulk lifetime of Czochralski n-type wafers and drastically impact the cell performance. Thus, an ntype
solar cell manufacturing process that uses lower temperatures to produce high quality B emitters is highly
desirable. In contrast to mass analyzed (MA) boron implantation, non-mass analyzed (NMA) boron ion implantation
leads to amorphization of the near surface silicon. The amorphized region allows epitaxial regrowth via solid phase
epitaxy (SPE) during annealing leading to better emitter quality at relatively low temperature processing (< 1000oC).
We show that using NMA ion implant based process, low emitter saturation current (Joe) can be achieved, while
maintaining the bulk lifetime of the n-type substrates due to lowering of annealing temperatures. We also compare
the performance of mass analyzed (MA) ion implant with the NMA process and show that comparable Joe can be
achieved using NMA implant at much lower temperatures.

description: We demonstrate that electrochemically etched macroporous silicon with a pore distance of 4 μm and a
pore depth of 9 μm reduces the AM1.5g photon flux-weighted front reflectance to 1.5 % without depositing an antireflection
coating. This micron-scaled structure reaches the photogeneration of an ideal Lambertian light trapping
scheme to within 3 %. Surface passivation by an AlOx layer allows for lifetimes of 2 ms despite a surface area
enhancement on the front side by a factor of 6.2. We attribute this finding to a more efficient field effect passivation
at the steep facets of the texture.

description: This study summarizes the results of several medium scale cell experiments on the new dispensing machine,
demonstrating cell efficiencies of up to 19.7% on industrial Cz Al-BSF material. Latest enhancement of the dispensing device
further allowed for a significant reduction of wet paste laydown of down to 70 mg for the front contact finger grid which underlines
the economic potential of the new technology. For the first time, state of the art contacting behavior could be demonstrated on
parallel dispensed solar cells since the same screen printing paste was printed and dispensed. This fact, in combination with
substantially improved finger homogeneity allows for increased Fill Factors at reduced paste consumption compared to screen
printed reference solar cells.

description: Stabilizer states are extensively studied in quantum information theory for their structures based on the Pauli group. Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) stabilizer states are of particular importance in their application to fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC). However, how to fault-tolerantly prepare arbitrary CSS stabilizer states for general CSS stabilizer codes is still unknown, and their preparation can be highly costly in computational resources. In this paper, we show how to prepare a large class of CSS stabilizer states useful for FTQC. We propose distillation protocols using syndrome encoding by classical codes or quantum CSS codes. Along the same lines, we show that classical coding techniques can reduce the ancilla consumption in Steane syndrome extraction by using additional transversal controlled-NOT gates and classical computing power. In the scenario of a fixed ancilla consumption rate, we can increase the frequency of quantum error correction and effectively lower the error rate.

description: This work focuses on the (local) doping capability of selective epitaxy, and the application of the
technology in n-type PERT solar cells. A deposition process was developed to grow ultra-shallow and thick 1-step
profiles (uniform box-type profile) as well as 2-step profiles in a broad doping range. An evaluation of the
recombination losses in those doped regions resulted in J0,pass values below 1 fA/cm2 and iVoc values up to 754 mV
for an ultra-shallow and highly doped layer (50 nm, 4∙1019 cm-3) where the field-effect passivation is the dominant
mechanism. J0,pass and iVoc in the range of 4-10 fA/cm2 and 725-745 mV, respectively, were measured for several 1-
step and 2-step profiles of around 500 nm. The final goal of this work was the integration of the most promising
newly developed profiles as the rear emitter of n-type PERT solar cells. In this direction, the integration of 500 nm
epitaxial emitter with a uniform doping of 9∙1018 cm-3 (215 ohm/sq) and J0,pass=4.71.0 fA/cm2 (ALD Al2O3/PECVD
SiOx passivation) proved efficiencies up to 22.5 % (ISE CalLab) in 238.9 cm2 n-type PERT solar cells fabricated on

description: Magnetic skyrmions are highly mobile nanoscale topological spin textures. We show, both analytically and numerically, that a magnetic skyrmion of an even azimuthal winding number placed in proximity to an s-wave superconductor hosts a zero-energy Majorana bound state in its core, when the exchange coupling between the itinerant electrons and the skyrmion is strong. This Majorana bound state is stabilized by the presence of a spin-orbit interaction. We propose the use of a superconducting tri-junction to realize non-Abelian statistics of such Majorana bound states.

description: In this work, the analysis of different transparent conducting oxides (TCO) on amorphous/crystalline
silicon heterojunction solar cells (SHJ) is presented. Different batches of solar cells have been fabricated with two
different approaches to replace the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO): Indium free low cost materials based on Aluminum-doped
Zinc Oxide (AZO) and high performance materials based on Hydrogenated Indium Oxide (IO:H). All TCOs have been
tested on the front and the back side of the devices. Complete material characterization has been performed
(optical/electrical) to correlate material properties with solar cell results. Spectral Response measurements confirm that
low absorption in the infra-red region is mandatory to reach high short-circuit currents. Successful AZO back-side
integration is demonstrated with efficiencies similar to ITO on industrial devices. Finally, our best large area devices
combining high mobility/low absorption IOH on the back side with a Cu ECD grid reach 22.8% efficiency.

description: The contemporary high-choice media landscape offers users considerable latitude to select media content. When it comes to media messaging about science issues like climate change, it is unclear whether audiences gravitate toward different kinds of emotionally evocative messages and what psychosocial factors underlie those preferences. Here, we presented young adults (N = 1,493) with three climate change videos to choose from (“funny,” “scary,” “informational”) and found more participants selected funny content than scary or informational. Contradicting hypotheses derived from mood management theory, negative mood was associated with selecting the scary video. Conservatives preferred the funny and scary video to the informational video, but gender identity was the strongest predictor of selective exposure with women preferring funny and scary videos to informational.

plating of Ni and Cu to areas that had been selectively laser ablated on homogeneous emitter regions covered by
PECVD SiNx:H. A large set of p-type Al-BSF solar cells with plated Cu based contacts were integrated into
conventional PV modules and reliability has been assessed according to the IEC61215 standard.
Remarkable median FF values exceeding 80.7% have been achieved on moderately doped homogeneous emitters
with a P surface concentration below 4·1019 P/cm3. The solar cell performance parameters have narrow distributions.
The modules successfully pass reliability testing.

description: Phosphorus doped Czochralski silicon ingots are industrially grown to produce good quality wafers in
order to fabricate high efficiency hydrogenated amorphous Si/crystalline Si heterojunction solar cells. However,
metallic contamination, interstitial oxygen related defects and phosphorus segregation introduce strong
inhomogeneity in terms of material resistivity and quality along the ingot. These defects can represent 15-25% of
standard Czochralski ingot height and is harmful to the solar cell efficiency. To circumvent these issues, we
investigate the substitution of the phosphorus ingot doping by a new doping technique using oxygen-related thermal
donors. In our study, the thermal donors were activated at the ingot scale by different annealing steps. The resistivity
scattering along the ingot height was successfully reduced. This new doping technique has also demonstrated the
compatibility with the production of high material quality (effective carrier lifetime up to 9ms). Moreover, solar cells
with efficiencies above 20% were obtained (comparable to the ones obtained on standard phosphorus doped wafers).
Unfortunately, the stability of the efficiency throughout the ingot was not reached mainly due to defects generate
during the ingot crystallization. Further improvements are ongoing to solve these remaining issues.

description: Eligibility for asylum among survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) has recently been contested. We summarize social science evidence to show how survivors generally meet asylum criteria. Studies consistently show a relationship between patriarchal factors and IPV, thereby establishing a key asylum criterion that women are being persecuted because of their status as women. Empirical support is also provided for other asylum criteria: Patriarchal norms contribute to state actors’ unwillingness to protect survivors, and survivors’ “political opinions” are linked to an escalation of perpetrators’ violence. The findings have implications for policy reform and support of individual asylum-seekers.

description: A Dyck path with $2k$ steps and $e$ flaws is a path in the integer lattice that starts at the origin and consists of $k$ many $\nearrow$-steps and $k$ many $\searrow$-steps that change the current coordinate by $(1,1)$ or $(1,-1)$, respectively, and that has exactly $e$ many $\searrow$-steps below the line $y=0$. Denoting by $D_{2k}^e$ the set of Dyck paths with $2k$ steps and $e$ flaws, the Chung-Feller theorem asserts that the sets $D_{2k}^0,D_{2k}^1,\ldots,D_{2k}^k$ all have the same cardinality $\frac{1}{k+1}\binom{2k}{k}=C_k$, the $k$-th Catalan number. The standard combinatorial proof of this classical result establishes a bijection $f'$ between $D_{2k}^e$ and $D_{2k}^{e+1}$ that swaps certain parts of the given Dyck path $x$, with the effect that $x$ and $f'(x)$ may differ in many positions. In this paper we strengthen the Chung-Feller theorem by presenting a simple bijection $f$ between $D_{2k}^e$ and $D_{2k}^{e+1}$ which has the additional feature that $x$ and $f(x)$ differ in only two positions (the least possible number). We also present an algorithm that allows to compute a sequence of applications of $f$ in constant time per generated Dyck path. As an application, we use our minimum-change bijection $f$ to construct cycle-factors in the odd graph $O_{2k+1}$ and the middle levels graph $M_{2k+1}$ --- two intensively studied families of vertex-transitive graphs --- that consist of $C_k$ many cycles of the same length.

description: Texturing of glass substrate is an alternative novel method for light trapping, which to enhance the
absorbed light by way of increasing the diffused transmittance (haze) so that the amount of absorbed light will be
increased instead of texturing transparent conductive oxide (TCO). In this study, aluminum induced texturing (AIT)
technique is used to texture different type of glasses to see the effect of the chemical composition on surface
morphology and optical properties. Improvement in haze values as well as total transmission were obtained in all
cases subsequent to texturing. High haze values are obtained by additionally enhancement in total transmission.
Surface morphological characterization showed that the composition of glass have direct effect on the textured
profile. We speculate that the components of glass other than SiO2 is affecting the density of reaction starting point
densities initiation cites on the glass-Al interface.

description: We study the ground states of the following generalization of the Kirchhoff-Love functional, $$J_σ(u)=\int_Ω\dfrac{(Δu)^2}{2} - (1-σ)\int_Ωdet(\nabla^2u)-\int_ΩF(x,u),$$ where $Ω$ is a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with $C^{1,1}$ boundary and the nonlinearities involved are of sublinear type or superlinear with power growth. These critical points correspond to least-energy weak solutions to a fourth-order semilinear boundary value problem with Steklov boundary conditions depending on $σ$. Positivity of ground states is proved with different techniques according to the range of the parameter $σ\in\mathbb{R}$ and we also provide a convergence analysis for the ground states with respect to $σ$. Further results concerning positive radial solutions are established when the domain is a ball.

description: In this paper we present progress made during 2014/2015 on the heterojunction (HJ) solar cell pilot line
(LabFab), located at the French National Solar Energy Institute (INES) and operated by the French Alternative
Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). After an optimization phase a production capability of 1100
cells/hour was demonstrated end of 2013 with an average efficiency of 20.11%. Currently, the production LabFab
baseline has been increased to 20.53% (rear emitter, 4 bus-bar, 156mm pseudo-square (156 PSQ), 240 cm2, bifacial
cells). This was obtained by optimizing substrate selection, thermal donor anneal (TDA), cell texturing without IPA
and hydrogenated amorphous silicon layer deposition on monocrystalline silicon (a-Si:H/c-Si). The latter by
optimization of hydrogen plasma steps, fine tuning of the silane to hydrogen dilution and correct management of
thermal aspects of the deposition process (PECVD). LabFab production flow has given cell efficiency of 21.08%
using high mobility indium tin oxide (ITO) and cell insulation without laser opening. Greater than 5Wp cells were
selected for integration into 60-cell modules. A certified record of 308Wp has been achieved with a cell-to-module
ratio of 100.7%. Cells were selected and finished as monofacial cells with a rear side silver layer and a second antireflective
coating on the front side, leading to an industrial record cell of 22.2% at CEA-INES. Finally, it is shown
that rear-side ITO with edge exclusion is an excellent solution for HJ cell insulation, with outstanding reliability on
the modules. Edge exclusion was obtained by deposition through open pockets on a production-ready equipment,
allowing a short term LabFab perspective of above 21% cells at 1500 wafers per hour and a module performance
baseline over 300Wp.

description: Caching is a hot research topic and poised to develop into a key technology for the upcoming 5G wireless networks. The successful implementation of caching techniques however, crucially depends on joint research developments in different scientific domains such as networking, information theory, machine learning, and wireless communications. Moreover, there exist business barriers related to the complex interactions between the involved stakeholders, the users, the cellular operators, and the Internet content providers. In this article we discuss several technical misconceptions with the aim to uncover enabling research directions for caching in wireless systems. Ultimately we make a speculative stakeholder analysis for wireless caching in 5G.

description: In this paper, we investigate the reflection suppression in a GaAs0.77P0.23/Si tandem step-cell through
antireflection coatings (ARCs). We evaluate the different designs by computing the solar weighted reflectance
(SWR), using the transfer matrix method (TMM). Various material combinations are investigated, and the
performance of double-layer and triple-layer ARC designs are presented. All the investigated double-layer designs
minimize the reflectance above wavelengths of 450 nm. The best antireflection performance is obtained for designs
that also minimize reflection down to wavelengths of 400 nm, which occurs for the SiO2/TiO2 stack (SWR = 1.99%
between 300-725 nm). The triple-layer designs further decrease the reflectance, mainly at shorter wavelengths, when
compared to their double-layer counterparts. The best antireflection performance is obtained with a triple-layer design
based on a MgF2/Si3N4/TiO2 stack (SWR= 1.51%). In addition, both MgF2/HfO2/TiO2 (SWR = 1.61%) and
SiO2/Si3N4/TiO2 (SWR = 1.73%) stacks show similar performance. Our analysis indicates that a step-cell
incorporating an optimized ARC offers about 56% improvement in the JSC of the top subcell, compared to a cell
without ARC (17.8 mA/cm2 vs. 11.4 mA/cm2).

description: We give a local characterization of the existence of Kazhdan projections for arbitary families of Banach space representations of a compactly generated locally compact group $G$. We also define and study a natural generalization of the Fell topology to arbitrary Banach space representations of a locally compact group. We give several applications in terms of stability of rigidity under perturbations. Among them, we show a Banach-space version of the Delorme--Guichardet theorem stating that property (T) and (FH) are equivalent for $σ$-compact locally compact groups. Another kind of applications is that many forms of Banach strong property (T) are open in the space of marked groups, and more generally every group with such a property is a quotient of a compactly presented group with the same property. We also investigate the notions of central and non central Kazhdan projections, and present examples of non central Kazhdan projections coming from hyperbolic groups.
description: 31 pages. v2: small changes to the introduction. Added a discussion on the speed of convergence, and on a notion of positivity for Kazhdan constants (p 14).

description: Being one of the first companies in the PV industry to introduce a mc-Si p-type PERC-like cell concept
into production, we report on our 3 years cell and module production experience. Recently we reached mean cell
efficiencies of up to 19.1% (best cells >19.5%) and module power classes of up to 280W. We furthermore detail our
methods and approaches for the transfer of cell technologies from laboratory to production and for an accelerated
progress in cell efficiency and in quality and reliability of the complex cell and module product. The resulting
progress and important findings are supported by concrete production data.
Slow and fast escape for open intermittent maps

description: If a system mixes too slowly, putting a hole in it can completely destroy the richness of the dynamics. Here we study this instability for a class of intermittent maps with a family of slowly mixing measures. We show that there are three regimes: 1) standard hyperbolic-like behavior where the rate of mixing is faster than the rate of escape through the hole, there is a unique limiting absolutely continuous conditionally invariant measure (accim) and there is a complete thermodynamic description of the dynamics on the survivor set; 2) an intermediate regime, where the rate of mixing and escape through the hole coincide, limiting accims exist, but much of the thermodynamic picture breaks down; 3) a subexponentially mixing regime where the slow mixing means that mass simply accumulates on the parabolic fixed point. We give a complete picture of the transitions and stability properties (in the size of the hole and as we move through the family) in this class of open systems. In particular we are able to recover a form of stability in the third regime above via the dynamics on the survivor set, even when no limiting accim exists.

description: In the present paper Q-ball solutions in the Wick--Cutkosky model are examined in detail. A remarkable feature of the Wick--Cutkosky model is that it admits analytical treatment for the most part of the analysis of Q-balls, which allows one to use this simple model to demonstrate some peculiar properties of Q-balls. In particular, a method for estimating the binding energy of a Q-ball is proposed. This method is tested on the Wick--Cutkosky model taking into account the well-known results obtained for this model earlier.

description: Current cell interconnection technology in a PV module is based on soldering three or four solder coated Cu ribbons on top and bottom of the cells, connecting them in series to create a string. An alternative approach being proposed by several equipment manufacturers is based on replacing the ribbons with multiple wires: this should enable at the same time higher module efficiency and significant cost reduction through consistent Ag paste reduction at cell level. On the other hand, a module reliability risk related to the introduction of a new technology has to be considered. Purpose of this work is to make a technical and economical assessment on the viability of a wire soldered interconnection with optimized metallization.

description: On September 14, 2015, a gravitational wave signal from a coalescing black hole binary system was observed by the Advanced LIGO detectors. This paper describes the transient noise backgrounds used to determine the significance of the event (designated GW150914) and presents the results of investigations into potential correlated or uncorrelated sources of transient noise in the detectors around the time of the event. The detectors were operating nominally at the time of GW150914. We have ruled out environmental influences and non-Gaussian instrument noise at either LIGO detector as the cause of the observed gravitational wave signal.

description: The present paper reports results of an incorporation of p+ doped Si nanoparticles (NPs) in (Al2O3)x
(B2O3)1-x films deposited on n-type Si. Si NPs with diameter ~20 nm have been dispersed in a sol solution, which was
used for a spin coating deposition followed by an additional annealing at 850oC. The (Al2O3)x (B2O3)1-x films were
deposited on quartz and n-type Si substrates. The optical study reveals that Si NPs embedded in (Al2O3)x(B2O3)1-x
leads to higher absorption in the visible spectral range compared to dielectric layer without nanoparticles. AFM
studies show that the incorporated Si NPs into dielectric layer have quite uniform distributions on the film surface.
Тhe sheet resistance of (Al2O3)x(B2O3)1-x films with Si NPs, deposited on quartz substrates is about 250 Ohm/sq.
Similar films deposited on n-type Si can be considered as a new type of heterojunction structures, which is the subject
of study in this work. The diode rectifying behavior of (Al2O3)x(B2O3)1-x p+ Si NPs/n-Si structure has been
demonstrated by means of the current- voltage measurements. The rectification ratio (RR) is about 7,4x103 at +/- 2 V
and a reverse current of I= 1.7.10-7 A at -2V has measured. The structure shows the photovoltaic effect. It is
concluded that (Al2O3)x(B2O3)1-x : p+Si NPs layers can be considered as a promising option for the formation of ultra
thin emitters for photodiodes and Si based solar cells.
