Low noise, IR-blind organohalide perovskite photodiodes for visible light detection and imaging
No full textSolution-processed organohalide perovskite photodiodes that have performance metrics matching silicon, but are infrared-blind are reported. The perovskite photodiodes operate in the visible band, have low dark current and noise, high specific detectivity, large linear dynamic range, and fast temporal response. Their properties make them promising candidates for imaging applications

Benchmarking and Regulation of Electricity Transmission and Distribution Utilities: Lessons from International Experience
No full textSince the early 1980's, many countries have implemented electricity sector reform, many of which have bundled generation, transmission, distribution and supply activities, and have introduced competition in generation and supply. An increasing number of countries are also adopting incentive regulation to promote efficiency improvement in the natural monopoly activities - transmission and distribution. Incentive regulation almost invariably involves benchmarking or comparison of actual vs. some reference performance. This paper reviews the main approaches to incentive regulation and discusses various benchmarking methods. We also present the finding of a survey of the use of benchmarking methods in the OECD and few other countries. Our survey finds a variety of methods used by the electricity regulators although with a notable preference for the non-parametric methods. We then draw conclusions based on the finding of the survey highlighting the main outstanding issues and lessons for best practice implementation of benchmarking in electricity regulation

Detecting the Seasonal and Spatial Patterns of COVID-19 Hospitalization and Deaths in Iran: Insights from a Spatiotemporal and Hotspot Analysis
No full textBackground: Understanding the seasonal and spatial patterns of COVID-19 hospitalization and deaths is crucial for effective hospital management, resource allocation, and public health interventions. The current study conducts a spatiotemporal hotspot analysis that explores the seasonal and geographical patterns of high-risk areas of COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in Iran. Methods: Provincial-level data on laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases with acute respiratory symptoms in Iran (February 2019–March 30, 2022) were collected. Hotspot analyses mapped seasonal incidence risks, and Global Moran’s spatial autocorrelation analysis identified COVID-19 clusters. Results: Over the 2 years, 26 hotspots and 11 cold spots were identified (P < 0.05). Western and central provinces showed the highest hospitalization hotspots, while the west and north had the most death hotspots. South and southeast provinces exhibited low incidence and the highest number of cold spots. High-risk areas were prevalent in spring and autumn, mainly in the west, north, and central regions. Conclusions: This research unveils the clustering patterns of COVID-19 hospitalizations and fatalities in Iran during the most severe pandemic. Spatial clusters and dynamic hotspots varied across regions and time. Prioritizing high-risk areas during critical epidemic waves, devising seasonal care strategies, and implementing preventive measures can significantly improve health outcomes.</p
